Unless any of you people reading this didn't know (do you need an address under that rock?), there was one movie that was quite hyped. It's called Ironman, based from a comic of the same name from Marvel. It opened last Thursday here.

Ironman movie

It.Was.Awesome.

Review later, if I have the time, (I still haven't upload the piccies from our bird park outing)

Notes:Don't forget to go to Central Market this weekend, There's quite a few event, Indiependent (typo on purpose) Bookfair, Chinese art and music festival, and also there will be some booth open selling art, and quite cheap.

Need more info? Google is your friend, or go here: Central Market

Important Life Lesson #2

nobody@vox.com(GeekInTraining) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:14:52 +0800

How to spot the geeks in your life.

1. The Fanboy
Disposition: Speaks mostly in lines from The Simpsons, Star Wars, Highlander, and Ghostbusters. Enjoys arguing about whether Batman or Boba Fett would win in a fight. (Batman.)
Beliefs: The Force exists, but midi-chlorians are bullshit. Han shot first.
Turn-Ons: Princess Leia in slave gear. Starbuck (male and female incarnations). Amazing Fantasy No. 15. Velour uniforms.

2. The Music Geek
Disposition: Would be really happy to introduce you to music better than that overexposed crap you like. Always up for a show, but it'll totally suck.
Beliefs: MP3s are not as good as CDs, which are not as good as vinyl LPs, which are not as cool as wax cylinders. What your speaker cables are made of matters.
Turn-Ons: A complete set of Sub Pop Singles Club 45s. VH1's Behind the Music (hair metal only). 0.0 scores on Pitchfork. Vacuum tubes.

3.The Gamer
Disposition: High DEX and INT scores, low CHA (thus, the lack of friends). Given to indecipherable insults ("I pwn3d u, n00b!").
Beliefs: The game Real World has a great physics engine, hi-res graphics, and convincing surround sound, but the learning curve is too steep. Girls should dress like Yuna in Final Fantasy.
Turn-Ons: Spawn points. Haptic feedback. Pac-Man ringtones. Morgan Webb. Split-screen co-op.

4. The Gadget Guy
Disposition: Sociable while waiting in line on launch day; ferocious in comments on Gizmodo. Seemingly unflappable in the face of early adopter's remorse (aka Apple Newton Syndrome).
Beliefs: I can fix that. There's no god but MacGyver. The price will drop in a month, but I need it now.
Turn-Ons: Unboxing videos. Backup batteries. Blue LEDs. Laser pointers. People who RTFM. Things that make loud clicking sounds.

5. The Hacker
Disposition: Chronically crabby — then again, having such a superior intellect is a heavy burden. Paranoid tendencies.
Beliefs: One shall stand, one shall fall. Sun allergy is a real condition. Cybersex: not utterly disgusting. Cory Doctorow is too soft on DRM. 2600 magazine has gotten too commercial.
Turn-Ons: Trinity. l33t fluency. Narc-spotting at DefCon.

6. The Otaku
Disposition: Alarmingly happy. Prefers to read right to left.
Beliefs: Manga is a medium, not a genre. Furries aren't loathsome. I can learn Japanese from Gundam. Lynn Minmay is the most annoying character in the history of anything. The next major anime release will be a box office hit in the West — this time for sure. It's not all tentacle porn, OK?
Turn-Ons: Tentacle porn. Dirty Larping. Dating sims. All things kawaii.

Anybody you know ? :P

Revisiting old memory here.
Actually, I just remember I had a flickr account, hahaha. Stupid.

Gundam30.jpg

Looking at all of the toys, gundam, and panorama pictures reminds me how I'm slowly but surely starting to forget all of my hobbies. This cannot be. First thing tomorrow gi beli Gundam la, haha.

See, all of the pictures even siap ada watermark blog diaryland lagi, heh.
Us old bloggers never fade, Our time just been filled up with other things.

p/s: all of the pix taken with crappy Palm Zire 72 pda, damn fugly. Mata rosak tak jamin. :)

To my all dear Friends, it's back...

McD Prosperity burger

McD - Prosperity burger

One of the main enemy in the fight against bulge. Don't fight the temptations, I know you want it...

You know you want it :P

***************************

On another note, this will be on my wishlist for this year :

Masked Rider - The Next - Box Outside

Masked Rider - The Next - Box Inside

Masked Rider - The Next - Full figure

Masked Rider - The Next - Head shot

among other things.

**************************

I bought this game from last year, but still, tak habes-habes lagi, bos!

Zelda : Phantom Hourglass

I could gushed on and on about this game, but my only gripe is the constant backtracking to the temple, simple boss fight, not much online options and also I think all that sailing is quite boring. Still quite a game though.

Now, if only I can have an extra hours in a day, I might be able to fit more gameplaying time. I mean, for only 24 hours in a day, I can barely manage to fit in Guitar Hero 3.
