Synopsis: Ice Kacang Puppy Love is a profoundly emotional tale of teenager's puppy love, parental love, generation gap, truth and make-believe. Set in a unique small town of 1980's Malaysia, the story evolves between a nice but shame boy - Botak and a brave and adventurous girl - Da Jia Yu. ____________________________________________________ My Comments: Today I was not so feeling well after slept late yesterday night after work. But I could not do anything because I have purchase the movie ticket earlier and I have to go and watch this movie with Kimmy. The nearest we could go is actually GSC Tropicana City Mall because other cinemas had full. We have chosen this movie Ice Kacang Puppy Love as our choice this weekend. This movie is all about romance and it's a local production acted by our very own bunch of Malaysians including Ah Niu. This movie is based on a drama concept and you could see a Malaysian Lifestyle in small towns. This movie is screened in Penang and Ipoh. Overall, this movie is above average and I would like to say there are still rooms of improvement for this one. Luckily, there were big Malaysian singer in this drama which will eventually support this movie or else it would be a total failure. Most actor and actress were good in this movie especially Ah Niu, Angelica Lee, Gary Chaw and Victor Wong. Unfortunately Fish Leong never say any single word in this movie as she just acted with numb only. If you love to watch Malaysian family style movie with some jokes and love story into it, then this movie is suitable for you and a thumbs up for director Ah Niu who did a good start towards this movie. There were funny and sad scenes in this movie too. I would recommend you to watch it but don't expect too much from this one and do support local made films. MY RATING: 3.5 / 5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Domino's Pizza, Mid Valley Megamall

Hi All,

Good evening to all of you. I am glad to be back again for yet another edition of the Food Hunt. This time, ME & Kimmy were at Mid Valley Megamall and of course we had our dinner there as well. Kimmy were busy craving for food and finally she found out she would go to Domino's Pizza after so long we did not have it. Without any hesitation, we went there as our stomach already hungry.

Once we sat down, it took about 15 minutes for the waiter there to serve us as they were busy because there were many customers in the restaurant and it was almost FULL HOUSE. Not only that, the waiter that came doesn't take our order seriously and just ask us what we want and just walk away like that with a very rude manner. I was pretty dissapointed with the service today. We've ordered a menu set Incredible Meal Set 1 which can be consume by 2 people. This includes 2 glasses of Ice Lemon Tea, 1 regular pizza (Spicy Sausage Pizza) & 1 plate of Onion Rings. Besides we also ordered 1 plate of Mash Potato as our side orders. Overall, the set was awesome espcially the pizza. The drinks was good too. The Spicy Sausage was nice and the aroma of the pizza which makes the pizza tastes delicious too. I would love this pizza. Recommended for all of you when you take away or dine in. The Onion Rings were nice too. The mash potato too was lovely and tasty too. Both of us really had an enjoyable time over there. Besides the pizza, their set side orders also tastes brilliant.

The price meanwhile is not expensive with the amount of food and the tastyness of the food. I would recommend you to come over to any Domino's branch to try out their pizzas as it was nice too compared to other pizza's chain in Malaysia besides Michealangelo. MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

*Food rating is based on the food we ordered and not overall food.

My Comments: I was in Mid Valley today with Kimmy after it's been a long time that we did not visit Mid Valley already. The crowd was very packed today in Mid Valley and as usual the GSC Cinema there was as usual very packed as well. Today, it's Kimmy's decision as we have watched Clash Of The Titans. Let's go straight to the movie comments. This movie is another blockbuster after Avatar. Starring Sam Worthington, this movie mostly focus on him as he performed very well in this movie. It's about the battle between humans, gods and evil and it would be one of the best movie ever made. I am just wondering why my friends around me told me that this movie is just average or not so interesting but in my opinion this movie is above average and doing good. It contains love story, battle, sad emotion as well as some different creatures which makes this movie more interesting. I found it pretty difficult to understand the storyline in the first place until Kimmy told me after the end of the story as she understands it. A great movie to watch for those who love ancient battle movie. MY RATING: 4.5 / 5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

DVD Movie: Mr. Bean Holiday

Release Date: 24th August 2007

Genre: Comedy

Running Time: 1 Hour 29 Minutes

Director: Steve Bendelack

Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Emma de Caunes, Jean Rochefort, Antoine de Caunes

Synopsis:

In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) -- the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks -- goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.

Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah... vacation. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.

Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d'Or?

______________________________________________________

My Comments: I watch this movie at Kimmy house on Wednesday night after dinner. Surprisingly, Me & Kimmy haven't watch this movie before and finally we get to catch the movie via DVD on Kimmy's newly bought DVD set and brand new 32" LCD TV. Overall, this movie is just for fun and laugh purposes. As you know, Mr. Bean is famous of its jokes and in this movie, he remained his casts and as usual he is doing his funny act as well. There are no big surprises to this movie as we could see some lame actions from Mr. Bean as seen on his short series. This story actually talks about Mr. Bean trip or vacation in France as he had to overcome some obstacles to save his dignity. Basically if you love Mr Bean movies, then this movie suits you very much and if you don't like, then I would not eloborate much. A fun movie to catch for the whole family while you are at home. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Hello folks,

Have you guys heard of I-City? If you have not, then this is the moment that you've been waiting for. It's was a truly magnificent place to visit especially at night because of it's beautiful L.E.D lights display on its surroundings.

I-City is basically an IT Hub in Shah Alam which gives Small Medium Enterprise (SME) to develope and expand their business there. It also contains 24X7 data center hub as well as IT companies which will be based there as well. Although it's not fully occupied yet, but I guess it would fast to be the most advanced city in Selangor. Visit http://www.i-city.my/ for more information.

I-City is accesible on Kesas Highway or Federal Highway just after Jusco Bukit Raja. You can even see the beautiful scenery of lights along the Federal Highway before passing by the Bukit Raja Toll Plaza (Federal Highway). It's a totally recommended place to go no matter you go in couples as it was very romantic there, for photographic as it contains so many beautiful elements to take photo as well as those who love leisure walking as I can guarantee you that you will love that place very much. I do advice you to go early as the crowd was heavy especially during weekends. But for weekedays the crowd is still there but of course would be lesser than during weekends. Enjoy the photos and for the full photos, please visit my Facebook for more information. MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Festival: Happy Souls Day (清明节)

Hello,

alexleow-kimmy.com would like to wish all its readers Happy Souls Day. Although Souls Day is celebrated just for the dead people among the chinese community, still we celebrate it to pray for our ancestors too. It also known as Qing Ming.

The Qingming Festival (清明节); Clear Bright Festival, Ancestors Day or Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese Festival on the 104th day after the winter solstice (or the 15th day from the Spring Equinox), usually occurring around April 5 of the Chinese Calendar. The Qingming festival falls on the first day of the fifth solar term, named Qingming. Its name denotes a time for people to go outside and enjoy the greenery of springtime (踏青 Tàqīng, "treading on the greenery") and tend to the graves of departed ones. Qingming has been regularly observed as a statutory public holiday in Taiwan and in the Chinese jurisdictions of Hong Kong and Macau.

Early in the morning, preparations will be made where they will prepare the nessasary for the prayers at the hill att he respective graveyard. Then, they will pray in the mornings and as they pray, they will gave the ancestors a lot of food to eat including fruits, 'pau', chicken, pig etc. Besides, they will also pray for prosperity, wealth and the blessings for the whole family from their ancestors. Also, they will burn a lot of things for their ancestors such as TV, Handphones, Aeroplanes etc. where they believe their ancestors will received it at another world. For those who like to gamble, they also asked their ancestors about the lucky numbers and they hope that those numbers will actually open in MAGNUM, TOTO etc.

Lastly, remember to drive safely back to your hometown for the prayers and don't speed while you're on the road. Remember to take care of yourselves and good luck in everything after the prayers of the ancestors. Adios! :)

My Comments: Today, ME & Kimmy had planned to go and catch an Easter movie that will entertain us throughout the dull working weekdays. This is actually what we both need as we need something to cheer us up and this movie promises to be the best laugh out movie ever made in Hong Kong besides the Stephew Chow movies. We had decided to watch it at TGV in Kepong and the cinema is of course FULL. Overall, this movie was fantastic with a big applause given to this movie. By watching a 100 minute movie, I can assure you to laugh from the start till the end. The most attractive and always made you laugh out loud is Benz Hung and Sandra Ng who are really impressed in this movie. This movie which is directed by the most famous actor cum director Wong Jing, contains all the elements you need in this movie and any age can watch it as well as this can also be classified as a family movie too. You can see laughter (80%), love (10%) and of course action (10%) in this movie and this would be the BEST LAUGHTER ever movie I ever watch thus far for the Hong Kong movie. After the movie, the cinema crowd all clapped hands in full support on this movie as it was too fantastic to say. NO MATTER WHAT! You should go and watch this movie as I can promise you surely had a good time laughing non-stop and you will feel worth on what you pay for. MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

World News: If You Were a Billionaire for Five Hours

by Robert Frank
Thursday, April 1, 2010

provided by

When Paul Fischer checked his bank account Friday night, he had a happy surprise. His balance had exploded to $88,888,888,888.88. A very lucky number indeed, and close to $89 billion. Of course, the balance was a technical error by SunTrust Bank (NYSE: STI), which quickly fixed the problem. It also may have occurred in other accounts.

"You say, 'Eighty-eight billion, what can I do with that?'" said Mr. Fischer, who owns a jewelry concessionaire for Florida theme parks. "Maybe a handful of us could have brought down SunTrust Bank." Mr. Fischer had other ideas as well. Before the problem was fixed, he asked a SunTrust rep if he could move the money to an interest-bearing account until it was reclaimed and donate the interest to charity. Total interest: more than $7.3 million. The bank said no. The money was stripped out of his account by Saturday morning.

"It's all gone. I'm poor again," he said. "I was a billionaire for five hours." This kind of bank error happens frequently. But Mr. Fischer raises an interesting question: What if, for five hours, you truly did have $89 billion? What would you do with the money? The ground rules are that you would have to give the money back — and whatever you bought or invested with it — after five hours. Source: The Wall Street Journal 02/04/10

_____________________________________________________

My Comments: Imagine this incident also happening in the United States. Tell yourself, if you have about 88 billion and not millions in your bank account and that's when you find out when you withdraw the money without you yourself deposit any moeny into the bank? Don't you feel happy about it? Well, if for me, I would be in happy shocked and I just realize I just had been a billionaire and guess what, with 88 billion, you can actually do a lot of things already. Just resign from your work and then just concentrate with the investment or even you can take over a business to lead and you are much richer from now on. Well, lucky you Mr. Fisher for for at least holding the money for at least 5 hours. How nice if I could be FOREVER! :)

Festival: Happy Easter Day

alexleow-kimmy.com would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the Christians Community a Happy Easter Day. Easter is a day of sadness and of course a day to celebrate as well.

The real means of celebrating Easter day is to celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. According to Christian scripture, Jesus was ressurected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between AD 26 and AD 36. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascention Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave Of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.

The celebration will be fulfilled with church services, festive family meals, easter eggs and gifts hunt. So if you are celebrating it, enjoy yourselves and of course this is a day of the remembrance of Jesus Christ as well.
