My Comments: Today is Monday and it's the 2nd Day of Hari Raya. I did not make a good plan for today and since I've got nothing to do, I have invited Alan to go and watch G-Force. I only make the decision at 12.45pm and guess what, most of the places in the Klang Valley were all full since this is a new movie. Finally, it's a nightmare again where I have to travel all the way to TGV Capsquare to catch the movie. Yesterday, I did make a trip down to catch Final Destination but today same place I watched G-Force with my brother Alan since my darling doesn't want to watch this movie. Today, the cinema was packed with all Indians and only a few percent were Chinese & Malays. I am sitting in Cinema 4 and guess what it was not full at all whilst me and Alan had a wonderful time enjoying the movie. Let's get straight to the movie comments. G-Force is an action packed movie with a lot of jokes in it. This makes this movie an enjoyable movie of all time. It also contains superb graphics and a nice moral of the story as well. If you like this type of movie especially with rats or hamsters filled with laugher and action packed as well as 3D graphics and technology, this is the perfect movie for you as it contains all in one package. It's very worth to watch this movie is cinemas without any regrets. The same comments goes to my brother Alan Leow who also said the same thing. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; ALAN RATING: 4/5

___________________________________________________________

My Comments: Today is the first day of Hari Raya (Sunday). It was a pleasant trip through because KL City roads were not jam and very smooth flowing with a few cars passing by only. Well, at night Me & Kimmy had decided to watch a movie that had been released quite some time and finally we have watched it. This time, we travel to KL to TGV Capsquare to catch The Final Destination 4. Very seldom we watch movie at night but due to tomorrow is a holiday still, we have decided to watch it. Ok, straight to the comments of this movie. We bought RM10.00 normal seat and we got an opportunity to sat on the couple seat because very few people watching this movie only. Overall, this movie was great and in thrill and suspense. My comments was because previously I did not watch any of The Final Destination 1-3, so I would say this is great as well. But I still cannot accept that in this movie, the humans was dead with blood splashing around and their flesh as well. I would give a pretty good rating as well. For Kimmy, she told alexleow-kimmy.com that the movie was good also and for her this is her first time watching this type of movie. She said it was interesting, thrilling and amazing. If you have watch The Final Destination Episode 1 to Episode 3, then Episode 4 might be boring for you as you are watching the same thing happening where nobody survived in this movie and see how they face death. If you are new, you may like it. MY RATING: 3.5 /5, KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5

Politics: DAP 'The Rocket' Newspaper

Today when I am having dinner with Kimmy at Kepong, I was amazed when this newspaper vendor came and sell newspapers. I taught he was selling those normal dailies but this time I was shocked to see The Rocket newspaper. Without any hesitation, I bought the dailies and it costs me about RM2.00. It's very worth it as you can see the news coverage which was partially being covered at the local dailies. It is also your alternative information where you can actually see what the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat had done so far for the rakyat. It will be published every month once.

In this month's edition of The Rocket newspaper, we can see a full coverage of the Teoh Beng Hock death and DAP wanted the BN government to find out who is actual murderer. It was truly shameful for the government for unable to get the murderer at the moment. While reading the newspaper, I was so angry with the BN government for unable to act wisely and suspect Beng Hock to kill himself. I hope the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat will fight till the end to find out who is real murderer. Besides, it also cover the PKFZ issues as well as some comments from the DAP leaders regarding some current issues. It's a very informative newspaper and don't be surprised that the DAP had done a great job in coming up such a newspaper for the Rakyat to let them know what is happening now.

So besides getting from the newspaper vendor (who walking around) who you will find in restaurants, you can also get in some of the newspaper sellers or shops around you in major supermarkets as well in major towns. Remember to grab a copy for yourself and start to know what is HIDDEN and COVERED! Bravo DAP & Bravo Pakatan Rakyat! We will support you! :) RATING: 5/5

News: Infrequent travellers can opt for cheaper passports

BUKIT KAYU HITAM: If you seldom travel abroad, you can now save on your passpart and pay RM100 instead of RM300 for the Alternative International Malaysian Passport.

From Oct 1, Malaysians can ap­­ply for the alternative passport which is valid for two years, announced Home Minister Datuk Seri Hisham­mud­din Tun Hussein. Currently, a 32-page passport costs RM300 and a 64-page document RM600. Both are valid for five years. Presently, the alternative passport was only introduced to haj pilgrims,” the minister said after breaking fast with Immigration, Customs and Quarantine Complex officers and personnel here yesterday. “We want to expand the usage of the passport to all because there are some who only travel once in a while, such as parents who accompany their children studying abroad.”

He said the ministry decided to produce an alternative passport be­­cause it received complaints from those who seldom travelled abroad that they were forced to pay a hefty sum for a passport. He said the availability of low-fare airline flights and various af­­fordable holiday packages encouraged more Malaysians to travel now. This alternative passport is suitable for them.‘‘The new alternative passport is also a measure taken by the ministry under the 1Malaysia concept,’’ he said. Hishammuddin added that the new alternative passports would mean additional workload for the Immigration Department but this could be resolved by incorporating new courses to improve the skills and competency of the personnel.

________________________________________________________

My Comments: Finally, I got a chance ot catch Jack Neo's movie yet again and this time it's call Where Got Ghost? I watched this cinema with Kimmy at GSC Mid Valley while going there also for some walk and shopping. The movie was simply funny and great but not as good as the previous one. If you have catch Money Not Enough, you will sure remember the humour which was again being told in this movie. There are lots of funny jokes and sense of humour compared to the horror part. Taunted as Hor-medy movie which combines horror and comedy, if you love both of these, this is the movie of your perfect choice. The story line was a bit simple and there's nothing to hide and you can actually guess some scenes that are going to happen. There are scenes where it will be very scary and scared your heart away! Girls especially, please be prepared! :P Overall it was fun and I guarantee you that you won't be boring while sitting in the cinemas as you will laugh yourself all the way and then perhaps you want more too! Enjoy! RATING: 5/5

Language: English

Running Time: 1 hour 51 minutes

Director: Neill Blomkamp

Cast: Sharlto Copley, Kenneth Nkosi, Robert Hobbs, William Allen Young.


Synopsis:

Set in South Africa, this movie is rumoured to be a "Cloverfield"-type sci-fi about an extraterrestrial race that is forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth and suddenly finds a friend in a government agent who is exposed to their biotechnology. Alien spacecrafts are seen hovering over many locations, interrupting daily human lives and raising concerns from the residents of the area. This film is also said to be a sort of social commentary, diverging from what you would usually expect from films featuring aliens.

___________________________________________________

My Comments: Today is Friday and guess what I am at cinemas to catch the movie District 9 at Cineleisure Damansara. Many people will be asking, "No Need To Work ah"! Yes, indeed correct as my working day had been replaced to tomorrow (Saturday). Well, I reach Cineleisure Damansara at 10.30am and immedietely went to the cinema to buy the ticket. The ticket price was rather cheap RM6.00 as it's a early bird promotion price. In my surprise, the sales person told me that I'm the only person who bought the ticket so far. When I enter the cinema, it was indeed right where the cinema instructor told me that you can sit anywhere since nobody watching this movie. Wow! Haha! Ok. Let's get straight to the movie. Peter Jackson's movie this time was good and exciting. The storyline of this movie was very good and it elaborates perfectly to let the viewers understand the movie well. The cam was a bit shaky at times and it's pretty disgusting also. It's an story about the aliens invasion and they stay at District 9 as the evacuated, Then one of the humans were infected by the aliens liquid and he is half human and half alien. Can he survived to help the aliens evacuated or not? What will happen? Go and watch it and I also wanna say that besides having action, this movie also talks about races about aliens and humans. The big question marks lies.....will there be District 10 out later? Check it out! RATING: 4/5

News: Michael Jackson laid to rest, surrounded by stars

GLENDALE, California, Sept 3 — Michael Jackson was laid to rest today at a funeral attended by family and celebrities, more than two months after the pop star died at age 50 of a drug overdose that has been ruled a homicide. Tight security kept fans, reporters and even aircraft well away from the Forest Lawn cemetery in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, where Jackson will lie in the stellar company of such Hollywood icons as Walt Disney and Humphrey Bogart.
Jackson's family arrived at the cemetery more than an hour late, driven in a procession of nearly 30 limousines and cars that passed a small crowd of fans and onlookers. The singer — who sold millions of albums worldwide with hits such as “Thriller” and “Billie Jean” — died of a drug overdose on June 25 in what the Los Angeles County Coroner said was a homicide.

Officials said a cocktail of prescription medication, including the powerful anesthetic propofol and sedative lorazepam were the primary causes of his death. Police have investigated several doctors who treated Jackson, focusing on his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was at his bedside when he suffered a heart attack in a rented Los Angeles mansion. Murray was hired by concert promoter AEG Live in the weeks before Jackson's death to watch over him as he rehearsed for a series of comeback concerts in London, scheduled to start in July. Those concerts were to have helped the singer pay off debts and shore up his finances. Police have said they will seek criminal charges in the case but so far officials have not filed any. But scandal was likely far from the minds of the Hollywood celebrities who attended the service, including actress Elizabeth Taylor, child star Macaulay Culkin and Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley. Jackson's final resting place is a crypt in the Grand Mausoleum, a vast, mock-Renaissance building on the stately property. His body had been kept at the cemetery since his public memorial service at a basketball arena in downtown Los Angeles on July 6. The Jackson estate will reimburse the Glendale Police Department for its expenses, estimated at up to US$150,000 (RM525,000). The city of Los Angeles absorbed the estimated US$1.4 million cost of the memorial service. — Reuters

Leisure: New RON95 Petrol From BHPetrol 95 2X

Beginning 1st September, Malaysian government had introduced the new RON to the Malaysia market. It's considered a good news also as we got more choices to choose from. Introducing RON95 to replace the RON97 and RON97 had been converted to a premium product. After the testing price RM1.75 for RON95 at selected petrol stations throughout the Klang Valley before the official launch, the RON95 fuel had raised 5 cents to the current RM1.80 and RON97 also increased 5 cents to RM2.05.

Well, the fuel consumption of RON95, it's a little fuel consuming compared to RON97. I feel that RON95 had the same power with RON97 and makes no difference. But I don't know and nobody can tell whether what is the effects on RON95 after long run towards the engine. But I believe, it's still OK after you fill in and no effects towards your engine.

Of course, I will go for BHPetrol Infiniti 95 2X. It's one of my favourite petrol so far because BHPetrol, compared to other petrol brands, have more power and pickup. It also cleanses your engine and also formulated with 800ppm of addictives. I would recommend you this petrol because it will not damage your engine. Last time I use Shell, and it always gives my engine a lot of problem and spare parts problem for my car (Proton Wira) but after I change to BHPetrol, everything seems OK up to date after 6 months and nothing had went wrong. It's a very good sign (touch wood). After all, you can collect points at BHPetrol. RM1 for 1 point. It's value for money also. If you see my Proton Wira (Green) with a Spot Me Infiniti 95 2X sticker at my car back mirror, then it's ME! The supporter of BHPetrol :) Also please visit the Facebook and join the BHPetrol group created by me and lend your support.
