The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meltdown” are back, on an incredible adventure...for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth, Sid the sloth creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora fauna run amuck – and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

My Comments: I am going to watch this movie tomorrow (Sunday) at GSC 1 Utama at 5.10pm. I bought the tickets via their online e-payment ticketing as I'm afraid there will be limited places tomorrow at the cinema. Anybody watching the same timeslot with me at the same cinema? Hehe! OK. I've watched the movie and I can say it's absolutely awesome. For those who love comedy (jokes), this is the movie for you. You may also bring your family to go and watch it and enjoy the fun and adventure in Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs. This time, it has more scenes than the 1st and 2nd Ice Age and do expect a wonderful journey to another world of dinosaurs (something like Journey To The Center Of The Earth style). It also have more action compared to the 1st and 2nd Ice Age as well. I truly love and enjoy this movie and I had a good laugh in the cinema as well. Rating: 5/5

NEW! HOT! ---> The Movie Guru

On this review today, we proudly present to you our Movie Guru. He loves to watch movie almost everyday and his accuracy in giving rating is absolutely good. He is none but my brother Alan Leow. He will be giving his review and I will share out his reviews with you all as you can compare with his rating and my rating.

Alan Review: He have watched the movie this Wednesday at GSC 1 Utama as well. He told us that the movie arent that interesting at it seems. The graphics was nice but for him the story is very important. The story is a bit sucks and it doesn't have many jokes to laugh with. It's a quite boring movie and the sequence is just like the second Ice Age movie. He still loves the 1st Ice Age though. Rating: 3/5

Food Hunt: Gasoline Cafe, Langat Hill

It was a fine Saturday evening. So my brother Alan was free today and I suggested a place for us to go for dinner. He has agreed to it and Let's GO! We drove using Alan's car and guess what, we have decided to go on a hill adventure to Ulu Langat Hill @ Look Up Point near Ampang. We started our journey at 6.00pm and then arrived there at about 7.30pm as we were caught in a middle of a terrible jam at Pandan Jaya and Pandan Indah.

OK. Once we reach there, we manage to find a parking as Alan & Me still thinking which restaurant we would hunt before I could make the decision. We have walked through Gasoline Cafe, Bread & Olive Cafe, Look Up Point Restaurant. Finally we've decided to step towards the Gasoline Cafe and give it a try. Then we try to look for a suitable and wonderful place to look at the scenery while enjoying our meal but everything seems to be dim because most of the tables were reserved for special occasion. Well, we manage to get a seat but still we are able to see the scenery but not as clear as it seems. The waiter services was pretty slow though because there's a lot of people. But still satisying about their service. For food, I've ordered Chicken Chop toppled with Cheese meanwhile Alan ordered Corn Sauce Speghetti. For drinks, I've ordered Ice Blended Kiwi Fruit meanwhile Alan ordered Ice Blended Pink Guava Fruit (see pics).

After the food were serve on the table, we were amazed by the decorations and the smell of the food. We can't wait to try it. Don't judge the book by its covers; This is the word I would like to say as it's not so good as it seems. Firstly by looking at my meal, the chicken was normal without any taste (need to serve with chilly sauce) and the toppled cheese was tasteless and I could not smell nor taste any cheese flavour. Next, the drink that I've ordered (Ice Blended Kiwi Fruit) was good. It has the strong Kiwi taste and at least this satisfy me. Meanwhile for Alan's meal, the Corn Sauce Speghetti that Alan tasted was average. The corn sauce seems nice and a bit spicy as well. Bout the speghetti, the noodle was quite okay but a bit tasteless as well. Bout the drinks that Alan ordered (Ice Blended Pink Guava) the drinks was nice also. Same comments as I give for my Kiwi drinks. Overall, the food was average but the drink was good. Food Rating: 3/5 ; Drinks Rating: 4/5

After that we took pictures and then we even went up to the Look Up Point tower (Menara Tinjau) to look for the tremendous view of Kuala Lumpur city. Below is some pictures that I've taken at the Look Up Point. If you guys plan to go up the Look Up Point tower, remember to take extra precaution because the place is extremely dark without any street lights. Robbery could happen, just be careful ya. I manage to squeak in and climb the Look Up Point tower without any lights as I would like to view the whole Kuala Lumpur City. After that we came down the hill at 9.30pm and go home! If you guys have a chance, remember to drop by there as it's a very nice place for couples as well as holding a function party there as well. Cheers!

_________________________________________________________

My comments: The MOST MOST MOST anticipated movie of the year 2009 had finally arrived. The first episode was super gorgeous and the graphics of this movie is perfectly done. I watch DVD for the 1st episode and I found it super interesting (imagine if I am at the cinema watching and together with the sound effect). Micheal Bay movie was super nice and guest what, I am looking forward to the 2nd episode name Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and it will be out in cinemas nationwide 24th June 2009.

This time, no more DVD, put DVD's aside and I have decided to watch it in cinema. This time I have chosen the newly opened GSC Tropicana City, PJ as my destination because I would like to try out their new cinemas. OK! It's comments time!

Now what I want to say is after watching the movie, I am SPEECHLESS. Speechless is not because it's not nice but it's absolutely wonderful. I got nothing to say except the word GREAT! Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox once again played a big part in this movie as they have the Autobots to defend the earth from being invaded by the megatron bots. There's many action in this movie. Besides, the storyline is very nice (although almost same as the previous episode) and there's some jokes for you to laugh for as well. This movie run 2 hours 25 minutes and guess what, for my opinion, I think it's not enough yet. It should be aired longer. Haha! Well, overall this was a perfect movie directed by Micheal Bay for the second time and thumbs up to him. As when there's the end of the movie, I can smell there will be Transformer 3 coming up and stay tuned for that one. Last but not least, remember to visit your nearest cinema to catch the movie now and enjoy the movie! Rating: 5/5 (Perfect Movie. I would give more marks for this movie).

World News: Michael Jackson is dead

Michael Jackson is dead

UPDATED

LOS ANGELES, June 26 – Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and set the world dancing to exuberant rhythms for decades, died on Thursday after being taken ill at his home. He was 50. Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2.26pm PDT (5.26am Malaysian time) after arriving at a Los Angeles hospital in full cardiac arrest, said Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office. The cause of death was not known and an autopsy would likely take place on Friday, he said. Jackson’s sudden death had been reported earlier by US media, which said he was taken ill at his Holmby Hills home and rushed to the hospital by paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived. There was no immediate comment from spokespersons for Jackson, who was known as the “King of Pop,” for hit albums that included “Thriller” and “Billie Jean.” Outside the hospital in Los Angeles about 200 fans and reporters gathered on Thursday, waiting for confirmation of Jackson’s death or condition.

Some fans were crying and hugging each other, and others were climbing atop fences to get a better look at a microphone stand where a news conference was supposed to take place. He had been scheduled to launch a comeback tour from London next month. The entertainment website TMZ said that “We’re told when paramedics arrived, Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.” Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics. The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital. Known as the “King of Pop,” for hits that included “Thriller” and “Billie Jean,” Jackson’s dramatic, one-gloved stage presence and innovative dance moves were imitated by legions of fans around the world. He transformed music videos and his lifetime record sales tally is believed to be around 750 million, which, added to the 13 Grammy Awards he received, made him one of the most successful entertainers of all time. But Jackson’s belief that “I am Peter Pan in my heart”, his preference for the company of children, his friendship with a chimp, his high-pitched voice and numerous plastic surgeries also earned him critics and the nickname “Wacko Jacko.”

Jackson, who had lived as a virtual recluse since his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation, had been scheduled to launch a comeback tour from London, starting July 13 and running until March 2010. The singer had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months. The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within minutes of going on sale in March. His lifetime record sales tally is believed to be around 750 million, which, added to the 13 Grammy Awards he received, makes him one of the most successful entertainers of all time.
He lived as a virtual recluse since his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation.
There were concerns about Jackson’s health in recent years but the promoters of the London shows, AEG Live, said in March that Jackson had passed a 4-1/2 hour physical examination with independent doctors.

Child star to megastar

Jackson was born on Aug. 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, the seventh of nine children. Five Jackson boys – Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael – first performed together at a talent show when Michael was 6. They walked off with first prize and went on to become a best-selling band, The Jackson Five, and then The Jackson 5. Jackson made his first solo album in 1972, and released “Thriller” in 1982, which became a smash hit that yielded seven top-10 singles. The album sold 21 million copies in the United States and at least 27 million worldwide. The next year, he unveiled his signature “moonwalk” dance move while performing “Billie Jean” during an NBC special. In 1994, Jackson married Elvis Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1996. Jackson married Debbie Rowe the same year and had two children, before splitting in 1999. The couple never lived together. Jackson has three children named Prince Michael I, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II, known for his brief public appearance when his father held him over the railing of a hotel balcony, causing widespread criticism. –Stories courtesy of Reuters

My Comments: First & foremost, I was shocked to learn that Micheal Jackson had left us this morning (around 5.20am Malaysian Time). At the age of 50, he is too young to die. I am very sad for this happening to us and to all the entertainment world. His songs were fabulous and I like many of his songs including "You Are Not Alone", "Black & White", "Billie Jean" etc. My heartiest condolences to the Jackson family. We have lost the most successful and wonderful entertainer and I hope that in years to come, we will have someone like him who really can contribute to the entertainment world. R.I.P Micheal Jackson.

POLITICS: Fastest ejected MP in Dewan Rakyat history

Fastest ejected MP in Dewan Rakyat history

By : V. Vasudevan

DEWAN RAKYAT, Mon:

Former Perak menteri besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin made history today as the fastest ever to be thrown out of the Dewan Rakyat — about 10 minutes after he was sworn in as the member for Bukit Gantang.Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia ordered him off for two days for causing rowdy behaviour in the chamber.

Also shown the door for violating the House dress code were seven of Nizar’s Pakatan Rakyat colleagues. They, too, will be out till Wednesday.Immediately after taking the oath, Nizar tied a black headband around his songkok and shouted “hidup rakyat, bubar dewan!” while raising his left arm.It caught everyone by surprise including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who was at his seat waiting to reply to two queries during Question Time.Pandikar Amin told Nizar to remove the headband at once. Nizar obliged but his former exco members in the Perak state government, Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham (DAP-Beruas) and Nga Kor Ming (DAP-Taiping), started shouting similar slogans, raising an uproar as angry backbenchers shouted back at the opposition.The two were ordered to leave after refusing to heed Pandikar Amin’s admonition to stop their unparliamentary conduct.

He also instructed Nizar, who had just taken his seat, to do the same. Nizar walked out without protest. Datuk Mahfuz Omar (Pas-Pokok Sena) was the next to be shown the exit when the shouting continued.Pandikar Amin then instructed opposition members wearing headbands and armbands with the words “Bubar Dun“ to remove them or be ejected by the chair.“You are expected to be attired properly in the Dewan. You cannot be dressed like this in the chamber,” he said.But N. Gobalakrishnan (PKR-Padang Serai), Dr Hatta Ramli (Pas-Kuala Krai), Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad (Pas-Kuala Selangor) refused to remove the headbands and armbands and were immediately told to leave.Khalid Samad (Pas-Shah Alam), Chong Cheing Jen (DAP-Kuching) and Teo Nie Cheng (DAP-Serdang) and Nurul Izzah Anwar (PKR-Lembah Pantai) walked out in solidarity with their Pakatan colleagues.Pandikar Amin refused to deliver the traditional welcoming speech to Nizar as a new member.“Traditionally after an MP is sworn in, the Speaker welcomes the new member, and in the welcoming speech, the Speaker will speak of his hope that the new member will be able to contribute to the House.“But this morning I find it difficult to say this. Look at the behaviour of the member who was a mentri besar. I don’t care how you behave outside the House, but inside the Parliament please watch your behaviour,” he said to much table-thumping from backbenchers.House security also cleared the lobby of anyone who sported the headbands and armbands calling for the Perak legislative assembly to be dissolved.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he was puzzled why Pandikar Amin found the headbands and armbands offensive.“It can be done in other parliaments but not ours. Why is this so? It is the MPs’ right to wear these armbands to protest anywhere in Parliament,” he said.Later in the lobby, Pandikar Amin said Parliament was not a street market.“It caused a 20-minute delay. The headband is not allowed. We have to be dignified when in Parliament. You come in, you bow and address others as Yang Berhormat. When you leave you bow. This is not a market,” he said.In reply to Anwar, Pandikar Amin said: “If they want to do that, they can go to the other parliaments. Be parliamentarians there.” Stories courtesy of New Straits Times Press

POLITICS: Zaid joins PKR

Zaid joins PKR

KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — Former Umno minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has joined PKR, in a boost to the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced Zaid's decision today at a special PKR congress here, saying it will help improve ties between the three PR parties. Zaid said he felt he would be most effective in PKR which fits his ideals and chose the party because he knows Anwar is a good man. “It’s also multinational party with a wide Malay base, a young party with plenty of room to expand.” he said. He said he was looking forward to playing the role of strengthening the relationship between Pakatan Rakyat’s coalition partners. Zaid resigned from the Barisan Nasional (BN) cabinet last year in protest against the use of the Internal Security Act (ISA) and was subsequently sacked from Umno.

During his short tenure as minister, he attempted to introduce reforms to the judiciary and pushed for compensation to be paid to judges sacked during the 1988 judiciary crisis.
But it is his role as a reformist and moderate which is expected to be a big boost for PR as Anwar attempts to put the opposition alliance’s agenda for reform back on track. The PR alliance has been beset by crisis in recent weeks with PAS and DAP leaders at loggerheads over the Islamist party’s attempts to hold talks with Umno on Malay unity. Anwar will be hoping Zaid can help bridge the differences between the secular and Chinese dominated DAP and the Islamist Malay PAS. Zaid said today he was ready to help make PR a better alternative to BN. He said he had friends in both PAS as well as DAP and feels he can play a meaningful role. “The first step is to be better friends before we can move forward.” he said.

Meanwhile Anwar said Zaid’s entry was a positive development and would provide a boost to PKR. “Zaid has a reputation for fighting for human rights and for the independence of the judiciary.” He said PKR could use Zaid’s experience and exposure. Anwar said Zaid’s role with Pakatan Rakyat would be formalised only after discussions with other component parties to be held next week. He added that the PKR president would also decide on Zaid’s formal role in PKR. However due to his experience Zaid is expected to be given a seat in the party’s supreme council and political bureau.
