My 8888 part 2 end

8888

3rd 8

Public enemies

Initially I was wondering what to expect in this. I was under the impression it was a little war going on hence watched it.

Plus who wouldn't watch Johnny Depp?? I'm sure girls wouldn't miss it! Not to neglect Christian Bale who is amazingly hunka-licious! (shoot don't sound right coming from me)

It's a story about bank robbers who stick together, fall in love; and an agent out to catch the lead "heister" who eventually succeeds.

Only thing I found rather peculiar about the show is how the lead character (...) was going to rob the train of millions, and then the scene just changed without showing if he and the rest succeeded or not.

Overall, I have to say this show has AMAZING acting, but lacks sufficient of a story-line and plot apart from the cops chase bad guys thing going on. Then again, very much worth watching as it's based on a true story.

4th 8

HP 6 - Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince

A J.K Rowling story-book based movie that has and is a multi-million dollar and on-going episodical production; this movie has been a favorite in the box-office.

Most critics say that the show was more of a chic-flick than anything. Of how Ron was making-out with some random girl, Hermione getting upset cause she ain't getting a piece of Ron; Harry sad to find that Ginny is always "snogging" with Dean but near the end of the show Ginny dramatically pays full attention to Harry only! WTFreakMAN?!!

In a nutshell, apart from the chic lit going on, it's a movie to enjoy as it mysteriously reveals the plot and story as it progresses. +++ EMMA WATSON!

My 8888

8888

Yes for the chinese that's very prosperous and a real great number.

But, this time it's My 8 out of 10 movie reviews!

***Note, these reviews are extremely shallow.

1st 8

Terminator Salvation

If you're a follower of this 4 discontinuing-part movie, you'll know what to expect. Simply, lots of explosions, humans getting killed by machines(terminators), humans trying to terminate them, and lastly SKYNET!

One thing I like about this show, if you hadn't realized it, they still had the kick-lines "Come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back". But they didn't have "HASTA LA VISTA BABY!". hahahaha!

This is a show to watch because it brings you to an era in which could possibly become a reality in the future of our human race. The high-dependence on technology and the vast improvement in it that used to take year but now months and sometimes weeks. hehe.

2nd 8

Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen

I need not mention what this show is about because anyone born before the millennium would be no stranger to this. The famous cartoon by Hasbro.

I personally found the show really good as I love the many action scenes. However, according to many, they found the show meaningless. That the plot was too shallow and did not leave a surprising feeling like the first Transformers movie released 2 years ago.

Hence, if you love cars, technology, action, hott gurls running in slow motion with assets moving extraordinarily, and things blowing up every few frames in the movie, this is the show to watch! Very suitable for all ages :)

Damn... megan fox still takes the stick!

Looks like she's got a tattoo right above her pubic area!

She gets a 10/10 though!

Had another 2 but it's such a long post.

So stay tuned to tomorrow!

This ends my little 8888 for now

"Park"-ing

As mentioned a week back, here's the break-down of the insane cutting edge buffing routine training known as

"Park" - ing

One of the founders of Park-ing is Taufiq Tajuddin with help from Sean Yap.

And accordingly, this vid was the inspiration.

After watching that, why wouldn't you be inspired??! I was!!! They were grooving while workin!

So with little explanation as the vid shows pretty much what they do - body-weights,

here's a bit of what Park-ing's about:

Finally, ALL and more details are on their facebook link.

So if you're planning on having that sexy body like those guys, go on and give it a try. I assure you those guys are real nice!

Once again, do participate in The MAN trend polls. TQ.

Which way is she turning?

DISCLAIMER: PART OF THIS POST IS THE COPYRIGHT OF IAN NG.

I have seen this image of the girl turning before and never really understood it... Thinking it was a joke that people played to make you look stupid.

Well, that's until today. I thought since it had so much meaning in making her turn (BEING A GENIUS), I should be able to do it ;P

And after 2 minutes plus... (read more below)

I actually figured out two (I think 3) methods to make the girl turn whichever direction you want at will.

Try and crack your brain about this.

This is a BeN'ZoNe challenge. Whoever can figure out my two methods, and make sure 8 in 10 people are able to do it, I'll take them out for McD's. The best correct answers of course! (subject to availability and distance and etc)

Special thanks to Precelia on helping to make the gurl turn :)

Now if you're a fan of great music (classical + electronic and a whole mesh) and scouting amazing talent, she'd be the lady to watch. Let me mention, to spectate Joanne Yeoh is quite a hole in the pocket just for a few numbers.

Malaysia needs this.

Short and simple this vid explains it all.

That's right. A spanking hott body and definitely assets that keep guys drooling.

And I really love what this guy said.

LIKE DOHH! Shee healthyyyyY!

In this current day, there are

• okay looking girls
• not bad looking girls
• try hard girls
• plastic girls
• overdose of makeup girls
• "lala" girls
• and HAWT girls!

What I'm trying to say is, what has happened to Malaysia. It seems like there's a lack in the supposed "hott" gurls! haha.

Do let me know what you think.

p.s. beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

but after watching the movie "Fat like you/(me)", as the guy said:

"there are girls that are fancy to see" but in the end it's the character.

Drum it like the Royst!

If you're lucky to know me well enough, one of my biggest inspirations for my explosive drumming came from Mr. Tony Royster Jr.

His 12 year old video which I'm very certain impacted 100's of thousands of drummers around the world, made the difference in my life. check it out below.

This post is more for the below video of Tony I found on youtube randomly.

He clearly demonstrates the versatility of a drummer to groove, keep a beat and do some melody simultaneously.

Hope you've been inspired as I was.

(waiting to do my drummin vids but need to get good mics to record to. SO HANG ON =)

Meanwhile, check my drumming vids on BeN'Z tube on the sidebar below or directly off my youtube channel.

GrooveFM

with their tag line which says it all

1. Open your iTunes

2. Click on the radio tab

3. Scroll down to the Jazz genre

4. Scroll down to letter 'G' and you'd find GrooveFM

The MAN trend

Just a few days ago, I caught up with a great friend of mine. At the same time, I had the pleasure of hangin' with one of my high school mates as well. Both really nice guyz.

Cheers Lionel & Sean!!!

Where am I heading in this post you wonder.

Well, right below, is what I went through with those two gym freak buddies of mine!

I din't feel the body aches till later in the evening of the next day. But like they say,

In essence,

Have a "big" body, get more girls??? Girls agree?

Lionel Leong Jihn Haur, Benedict Sachdev

Foreign exchange

I stumbled upon one of those google ads once again and found this.

Why am I putting it up?

1. because knowing about how the world works is never bad
2. because I have some interest in Foreign Exchange
3. because I believe that what Nitty Gritty says below is absolutely correct
4. because YOU should know what goes on in the world apart from your own
5. because I have nothing better to do

So, below holds 6 truths that may strike a person who plays with Forex.

~In the beginning~

BeN'Z: This is true because as mentioned, if the bots always and really work, everyone would do it. Think logically people.

BeN'Z: Let's get back to reality. in life you win some and lose some. If you have a RAINBOW idea which has a pot of Gold only and no obstacles at the back of your head, smack yourself cause the world is unpredictable. Especially when it comes to humans and money.

BeN'Z: No matter how fast you are, you still have to use your brain and think rationally instead of having a conditional reflex like how animals are trained. Don't be a traffic light!

BeN'Z: That is the hard truth in it all actually. Like what is mentioned, the broker is in it to earn money as well. Yes, he or she may try to earn money for you as it would increase their commission. But, overall, win or lose for you is a at least a minimal win for the broker. Therefore, D.I.Y (Do it Yourself).

BeN'Z: I find this somewhat true. I can't tell you it's a fact, as some people do sit in front of the computer all day and make big bucks. But, I suppose this applies more for the general population. It's like answering an MCQ where you have A, B, C, D, E. The longer you look at it, it all seems good and you may choose the wrong one.

BeN'Z: I'm very certain that today, many if not everyone would agree with this. With the economic downfall that occurred over the past year +, just trust your instincts as it may be the right bet.

~The End~

Forex Nitty Gritty website, click here.

I'll always remember what I read off a website a long time ago:

You should only do Forex if you have extra/excess money that you do not mind losing.

You have been educated =)

2. Dinner at Neroteca

Situated at Somerset Serviced Residence, Lorong Ceylon

A short bit about Nero teca:

• It serves Authentic Italian food
• It is made and served by Authentic Italian people
• It has a great ambience
• It's worth going for food!

A little bit more about it:

• The price to portion and taste is reasonable
• The place is mostly full and even in small groups reservations are necessary

Below is a glimpse of Neroteca {adapted from the link below}

Their dinner menu has a large variety of choices to choose from. It was literally an entire sheet of paper (bigger than a4 size) filled with font 10 words + double-columned.

While I was there for dinner, I feasted myself with their day's special:

Wild Boar Ribs and Salad (with some other words behind), and a double-portion fish (uncertain of the order)

Rough estimate: RM 57 + (RM 75+ x 2)

The taste of it was very much different. Initially when it was served, I was thinking ... what a rip off!!! As the ribs were not very "meaty" and the salad which was pretty much lettuce only, took up a large portion of the plate.

However, as soon as I nibbled off the first two ribs, it was well worth. The taste was sort of Tony Roma's ribs but much better. Although I did feel it could have been much better with some sauce or gravy.

Overall, it was a delicious dinner, and I'd gladly return there for another dinner on the right occasion. Maybe I shall try their pasta next =)

Below is a glimpse of Somerset Serviced Residence

{adpated from the link above}

On a side note, according to the reviews and info about the Somerset Serviced Residences, The apartments are very well furnished, has great facilities such as gym, pool, jacuzzi, playground and etc. So, if you don't want to stay in a hotel for a change, this just might be a good place to check out ;p

Any interesting places to recommend? Let me know and share with the world!

Didn't update?

Yeah that's right it's the 1st time I didn't update the blog! 1 day only! But here's why.

Over the past 2 days, I was able to enjoy myself with great ambience, scrumptious delights, and a great presence.

1. Lunch at Lafite

Situated in the 5 star Shangrila Hotel,

A short bit about Lafite:

• It's a fine-dining restaurant
• It serves meals that pampers your taste buds
• It has a great ambience
• It's famous amongst high-flyers
• It's worth going for the experience

A little bit more about it:

• The portions are really small
• Anything on the menu costs a bomb

Below is a glimpse of Lafite {adapted from the link below}

• 

Their Lunch menu offers a variety of food to choose from.

There were:

1. Showcase sets - 1 dish with a buffet of appetizers
2. Ala carte dishes
3. Set lunches - Business & Executive

While I was there for lunch, I took the Lunch set: Executive Set Lunch

This was the most expensive set of RM128 for 4 ideas.

I began my journey of food-nirvana with a Truffle, then to A caramalized onion soup (heavenly taste). Moving onwards to the MAN's breakfast of steak and potatoes (Chef's special), and had applauded the finale with a Snickers dessert (100% diabetic plausible but awesome). I personally found the meal not exquisite (my taste), but still worth going for.

Overall, Lafite is a beautiful dining get-away but not a place to go on a regular (unless you can afford it)

More info about Lafite, click here.

2. Dinner at ...

To be continued in tomorrow's post.

Have a great day =)

Project Natal

No, to malaysians or malay eds, Natal in this case does not refer to Christmas.

It's this

and here's a live demo if you think I'm pulling your leg

In a summary, It's

• Xbox 360
• fully interactive
• No controllers
• Uses gestures and voice recognition
• a future like interface
• a media player
• and so much more

Really, this is what I've been looking forward to since I was young. Although I do wonder how are you supposed to run forward or backward. But i'm sure they'll figure or have figured something out!

Can't wait!!!

Decide(d) on English or Malay?

As many Malaysians are fully aware of, it was announced early yesterday that the English medium of learning for school subjects Math and Science, shall be reverted back to Malay beginning year 2012.

I think this is a "dumb move"!

As if this "EMPHASIS" would help?!

Let's take a breather and evaluate the situation properly.

from the 90's to the millennium

English -> Malay -> English -> to malay again??!

Now why are they so fickle minded?

The older generation of today are English speaking, the one after are Malay speaking and the current generation are English educated but government wants to make it Malay again?

Basically, we're going to have a bigger bowl/plate of ROJAK!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A few points that could be taken into consideration.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Pros of Bahasa

1. Students will be more fluent with the Malay language
2. Communication in Malaysia and maybe Indonesia will be better
3. Students will be able to understand other Malay subjects better
4. Malay educated teachers shall benefit and are able to teach better
5. The people complaining for a change will be contented

Pros of English

1. Students will be more fluent with the English language
2. Communication around the world will be better
3. Students will be more versed(less difficulty to understand) when entering college and university
4. Teachers taught to teach in English for several years now will not have wasted their efforts
5. The future of students are more secured than with Malay education

*the cons are vice-versa and other cons are not mentioned for valid reasons.

Personally, I was caught in the crossfire of the change in medium during high-school. Thank goodness to my teachers then who were able to teach in English at my school Sri Cempaka Damansara. But I did do the paper (SPM) bilingually (meaning in Malay and English). Hence, this issue is rather dear to me as I understand the difficulty for both teachers and students.

Therefore, to the people that oppose the current medium for subjects 'English', I urge you to please reconsider for the children's future. Also, children, don't let this affect you. Fight for your rights and your life. Let Malaysia reach its potential with English as a base language. =)
