'I Have A Date With Spring' The Musical

My friend got a free ticket of 'I have a date with spring' the musical (我和春天有个约会音乐剧) from Raymong To, so I went to check out the show with her and another friend at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre. To be honest, the show is much better than I thought! Part of the collection will be donated to Tzu-Chi International Relief for Myanmar. Sponsored by Live to Love (http://www.l2love.org/)

I have heard about this movie long time ago but I never really watch it when I was young, so I have no idea at all with the storyline. The HK movie first realease was around 1994 if I am not mistaken based on the information from Wikipedia.

The story talks about the friendship of 4 singers who worked in the nightclub during the late 60s. I find it a bit like Asian version of 'Mama Mia'. :) Anyway, in short, Great show great storyline, I find the story quite touching too, the show is about two and half hours long hours. I think those with parents that are over 50 will love this! Will recommend it to my friends as well.

i-Robot

I have watched the movie i-Robot before, I totally forgot what is it about the movie, all I remember is the 'i-Robot', Will Smith, and the new Audi A4 police car (B8 model) in that movie. Recently when I had a drink with some colleagues, someone brought up the i-Robot topic. Now, finally I have a chance to look at the real 'i-Robot' thingy. My friend's family purchased one for RM2.4k so this thing can do some house work for them. One thing really smart about this i-Robot, when it is low in power, the robot will go back to its' base to do its own charging. Only thing is it can't climb the stairs yet. Just the matter of time we will have something like a Wall-E in the future. We really need something like a Wall-E. Reason? Look at the drain below:

I took this photo on a drain near the shoplots that are quite close to my house. Sometimes I really wonder if these idiots who throw stuff into the drain ever been to school? No way the teacher thought them drain = dumpster, dumpster = drain. Some people are just plain ignorant, dumb or what? When there is a big dumpster next to him he don't want to make good use of it, he simply throw the paper into the drain. I hope there is a Greater Wall-E that can recycle these retards!

Dog Poo

Find this poster is quite interesting, I always describe dog poo as 'mines'... and now 'you are worried about stepping on dog poo' huh?

Gift from Charity

One day my colleague ask me to give him RM10 as donation for his church thing. So I handed him Rm10... After one weekend, he told me he had got something for me in return, I was wondering how come donation got something in return one? My colleague gave me an Elk or reindeer or errr.... dunno what is that, forgot the name, I think it was 'Ok' or 'Cute' in a way. So I brought it back home and give it to my little niece, but then her mother (my sis) complain that the fur of this doll will come out easily. At the end, the charity gift was donated to orphan house...

Chili Chocolate or Chocolate Chili

My colleague bought one Chili Chocolate/Chocolate with chili back from his Bali trip. Aquarius like me is very eager to try out how does it taste? I never try a chocolate with chili before, so I tore out one square and try it out.
The chocolate square taste like dark chocolate, light bitterness at first, but then, slowly, you feel like there is some spiciness inside your mouth. I wonder who the hell create this kind of chocolate? If you ask me if I will buy it again? My answer is definitely a big NO.

Phone Camera Photos taken in Singapore

Do check out how much it cost for 1 litre of mineral water selling in 7 Eleven. SGD3.65!! I assume is more expensive than petrol.

That day our team went for this Brazilian restaurant named 'Carnivore'. Yes, the name says it all, if you are a carnivore, you will love it! There are more than 10 BBQ meat which they will serve u, beef, mutton, chicken, ham, fish, etc.. Of course, they also have fresh salad bar, one person is about 39+ SGD which I think it is alright if you make Singapore Dollar. I don't have any pics taken for the food due to I am busy eating it, I guess I have taken a lot of meat on that particular night.

In short, I think the food is quite ok, worth a try if you never been here before!

Canon Photomarathon 2009-10-10

Today I woke up at 6:05am to join the second year of Canon Photomarathon 2009. Ok? You might have a question? What the hell is 'Photomarathon'? Just to let you know that you don't have to run with your camera. What they will do is, they give you a few 'themes', you just use your creativity and skills to shoot some nice shots, winner gets to fly to Japan or you can get a 500D Canon DSLR.

Wake up early in the morning is no easy task, look at this chap over here, may be he is coming from outstation or something...

The event is sponsored by Canon, so if you are a non-Canon user, then you will have to pay RM30 for it. You can choose either the DSLR category or the compact camera category. I had a Nikon DSLR and a Canon compact camera. BUT I signed up for the compact camera, reason? :

1. You saved RM30 by bringing in your compact camera. Anyway, I am lending my DSLR to my brother for his family trip to Perth.

2. If I bring my Nikon entry level D60, it was no match with other serious and also rich photographers that carry their zoom lens and camera body that cost more than Rm30k.

3. My DSLR skill sucks, with my entry level camera body and kit lens, how to match with those semi pros and pros out there? Is like you drive your Civic 2.0L to a car race and you notice on your left is a Mercedes CLK55 with AMG kit and your right is a BMW M3; you look at the front and you saw a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S blocking your way; and you saw the Audi S4 grille from your rear mirror.

4. If you are a Non-Canon user, do you think they will let you win the first prize? Isn't that telling your potential customers your product is not as good as your competitor?

5. Less compact cameras contestant, which translate to less competitors.

Ok... so today's theme is: 1. Splash! 2. RED and 3. Act of shooting. Well, below is what I have delivered... not really satisfy with it as I simply shoot some photos for the contest.
1. Splash

2. Red
3. Shooting in progress

Actually, one of the criteria to rate the photos is based on your creativity, but I am not sure if my creativity can be used here. Basically I can shoot all three themes all-in-one inside the bathroom. But my colleague refused to volunteered, I told him that I promised I am going to censored his 'little brother' when I do the shooting. Basically, I can get the theme 'splash' when he is urinating, it is consider part of 'shooting in progress' too, the theme 'red' is the most tricky part, unless he wear a red underwear or his urine contained some blood in it, or else I won't be able to achieve this. LOL!
