Banner at the Cinema Entrance

By looking at this advertisement banner, what do you understand from it? My understanding is “If you bought your tickets online, you are able to enjoy a 50% discount on selected popcorn combo when you want to purchase a popcorn combo at the snacks counter” (Which i believe that is why they have the banner ad placed up before you go to the ticket counter and the snacks counter.)

BUT the Reality is….#1 the staffs know nuts about this promotion when we show them our tickets are bought online #2 They say you need to make the pre-purchase of the popcorn combo online! (Where there is NO option / shopping cart to purchase snacks / popcorns online) I made a comment and highlighted it to the staff, but the staff just say “oh sorry i’m not sure about that, and that is the second time i hear that answer from my 5 minutes of standing there”

That’s not all about TGV Cinema!! (Oh btw, I’m referring to the one at Sunway Pyramid) There was a huge crowd of people waiting and there were alot of Indonesian students around and its just different from the normal GSC 1U / Mutiara Damansara Cineplex crowd. We were there to catch a Saturday midnight movie of the famous X-Men Origins: Wolverine which was suppose to be a good movie. And after all the messiness of getting into the cinema and the bad experience at the counter, guess what?? OMG #3 the seats….Imagine this my ankles, yes you got me right, my Ankles were at the same level as the person’s head in front of me and i was wearing a dress!! Gawd…luckily i got a cardigan with me to cover my legs. But man, such horrible unpleasant seatings!

#4 here comes the highlight of the cinema “jeng, jeng, jeng” the pre-screened was lopsided to the right, one quarter off the actual screen and was blurred! (making you a little drousy) It went on for about 5 mins, hoping the technicians will rectify it but unfortunately not and people starts making noise. Finally, action was taken, it was off, curtains closed, curtains open again repeat the starting again. This happened repeatedly for 3 – 4 times to get things right into perspective!

Well i just wanted to say it was a really bad experience for us, since our first movie date was here and its so near my house we wanted to watch a movie there again, also they kinda shifted higher up and probably some renovations done. But after this HORRIBLE experience! I will never watch any movies at TGV Cinemas again! Boycotting them!!! Rather watch at the comfort of my home! (Luckily the movie was good! ) That is the only thing good for that night

The four

Was an impromptu thing for me but a new experience all together which is what i see working people or i should say young working people do since my teenage days. And here i am being in the position, doing the same thing, the way i see them do it when i was younger.

4 of us at dinner, with Jacky’s friend which we went for her wedding dinner on the weekends in Kajang. Guess its been a long meet up and being college mate, crazy things they’ve done together. Everyone has it, don’t we? moreover theirs in Langkawi….woo hoo…how nice studying in an island and to add to it is duty free!! Gosh..i wonder if they study there?

Finnegan's Irish Bar

After dinner, here is the hangout place, i think supposedly to be flo’s Hen’s night? haha should have brought her to the men’s strippers bar (well not that i know of any :p )

What's this? Strawberry chocolate?

Nope its not what u think, its a strawberry flavored cigarettes :S The secondhand smoke smells really AWFUL! Like those “sheesha” or whatever u call it.

soo with the flo =)

the looks after work....

That’s what you do when you’re a little tipsy and to get rid of it, you do silly things like posing for a kissing pose when you didn’t actually kiss, haha…Gotcha! And all of a sudden i remember I’ve not made a cab booking for our flight to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah rest, relax and sight seeing trip.

Kisses when they're gone...

We drove ourselves back safely after that, its a surprise for me that i can drink more than a glass of beer (i’m a very light drinker) still sober enough to drive myself back. Well its really tired and i’ve not pack my bags for the vacation and catch an early morning flight. Slept @ 2am, woke-up 7+am.

This came as a surprised After lunch, a friend from German buzz me and he told me about his blog that he has been developing. Before this he was sharing with me about the weather in Europe and how crazy it was during winter and he has to walk 30mins to work! Mind you, it is freezing cold and it is raining! (*walk baby! in Malaysia we drive 30mins we complaint!)

But i crazily did that while i was in Denbosch, NL, first time looking out the window with “white snow” got so excited, open the window stretch my hand out to feel it!

*White Snow*!!

It got heavier

Was awesome, some photos here, then i dress-up and prepare myself to go out and walk, just to experience it. It was freaking cold and i didn’t know where i was heading just walking around the neighbourhood and experience how’s the 10am daily lives of the Dutch.

Den Bosch neighbourhood, me with a hoody

There were alot in their bicycles as it was the cheapest way to transport themselves, and i head myself to the end of the town where the canal leads to. Where this little statue looking out too, its probably a river then the sea.

Anchor of Den Bosch

River to town..

Balding trees

Kids winter game in Paris

Looking back at the photos, the weather is really gloomy, blue, rainy, wet, cold, no wonder they all look forward to spring =) And here you can view more the blooming of Spring, where Love is in the Air, birds chirping, bees looking for honey, parks are filled with lovebirds, couple kissings. I told him that i’ve never experience spring before and this is what he explains to me “bright warm sunny days”. Over the weekend while he was walking at the park, he remembered me and took these photos specially for me. How nice and sweet of him! and dedicated to me over his blog too Check it out here http://www.gegenort.de/?p=280 Thanks Andy!

One of Jack’s colleague invited us for lunch @ 3 Two Square. Well i didn’t know where we were going, only somewhere in PJ and no idea what occasion it was, just tag along on a Saturday afternoon. Appointment was at 2pm but due to the traffic congestion we arrived slightly pass two, and we were first to arrive Too hungry being our brunch, we ordered the wild mushroom soup.

wild mushroom soup

Things are a little bit pricey for a “casual italian cuisine” and after looking at the menu for a long-time when everyone arrives, it didn’t have Lamb cutlets that i’ve been eyeing on for an hour or so. Well was too hungry to take any photos of the food that comes, i would give it a 6/10 as it is not as tasty as Italianese (The ceasar salad tastes great, yummy!)

Oh at the end, it was actually a gathering for one of his colleagues birthday, there were 4 couples there that day including us. After the sumptuous meal, the desert comes to complete it all, its like a more than enough calories for the day!

New York Cheese

And the specialty of this restaurant name “Coconut House” is mainly on the wood fire taken to baked the pizzas, nice cozy restaurant with wood fire and open concept kitchen. (Details here www.coconut-house.com) This is their second branch, with the main branch located in Malacca. It seems the owner of this restaurant is a book author and a composer with all kinda old song CD collections available in the restaurant.

We ended about 5.30pm it was really a whole day event, half-day gone! And we headed to Digital Mall again!! For three consecutive weekend!! But this time is just for a small gadget, the keyboard to complete the “techie crave”! And we bump into Wilson who now consider himself a “PJ-lang”

Was way better than the previous episode, this is with good story line, but heard some people say its not nice. Well i guess 1 movie can’t please everyone Best of all i was sitting in the middle of the most back seat, great position to feel as if you’re driving and moving along with the cars =) Just that the seats are not moving like “Motion Master” we use to ride back then at Genting Highlands.

The four main characters, who never dies but no 1 died in this episode. The storyline was not too bad, as it was showing the border between Mexico and US, its so very near. I believe one of my colleague who went for this movie night together can identify much closer to the movie due to his recent trip to ICANN, Mexico. What more to ask for when there’s a muscular guy and a cute guy acting in 1 movie?

Old junk that runs fast!

Best of all…

Blue eyed boy

the sexy blue eyed boy posing with his car, Paul Walker, can’t recognize him at first but he was the guy acted on 8 and below with all the huskies! They chose him probably he had blue eyes like the Siberian Huskies

Food for thought before the movie-

Double boiled - Coconut chicken soup!

Was yummy, but too rush and i burnt my tongue, cost RM7.50 per coconut but i think is worth it with alot of chicken meat and herbs boiled. Will wanna eat there again very soon! Location: Somewhere like Jalan Imbi behind Times Square on the left.
