Ramadhan...Buffet...Just like Romeo & Juliet...Inseparable...

Its only happen once in a year...where all those food joints having these promos like no other...on foods...buffet...its only in Ramadhan that you'll hear about those buffet throughout the country...with endless kambing golek lah...cheese cake lah...and many others...all for one's own consumption...cesss...

Me on the other hand...trying as much as i can to stay away from it...eventhough some of the promos really get to me...especially the ones in groupon...they have it in Renaissance KL for half the price...judging from the look of it...its going to be worth the money...

And also my favourite place for Ramadhan buffet...Concorde Inn KLIA and Paya Serai PJ Hilton...wachaaa...am I going for it or not...ermmm...still in deep thought...i never missed out on Ramadhan buffet in Concorde Inn KLIA coz i find it very worth the money...seriously with spread like that...aummmmmmm...it was tempting...

But since i spent so much on my car recently...i have second...third...fourth...endless thoughts about spending for Ramadhan buffet...my close friend hasn't be much help in the area...some offered to accompany them to the buffet with the bills charge to them...i don't have to spent a cent...but seriously...dah besaq nie rasa cam segan la plak kan...hehehe...and buffet nowadays aren't that cheap anymore...

Whatever it is...today is the 3rd day of Ramadhan...there still more than 20 days to come and think about...should i succumbed to my own insensible self longing for some really cool Ramadhan dish...you'll find me at one of the buffet...hehehe...but should i have more self restraint...which i doubt will happen...then i will end up losing some kilos along the way...

Still...there's more time to think about it...but demmmm...those groupon doesn't help at all lah...its too inviting...cesss...

An Experience to Remember

Actually its my second...but the first was the meeting with another agency...so its rather moderate than this...
I just got off the airplane from Cambodia...fly to Phnom Penh...then off to Siem Reap...then fly back to Phnom Penh...for the last 10 days things had been hectic...multiple meetings...multiple reports...and its my first time...still trying to get a hang of it...alhamdulillah everything turns out okay...not exactly well done...but i think its okay for a starter...the tiredness and sleepless nites...owh my...i never imagined it to be like this...but its the beauty of it...one never know how it is until they are in the exact moment...now i had experienced it...i have to say...that its the most enriching experience i ever had...which i might have to prepare myself to...coz there's more to come...and this is only the intro of it...

Whatever it is...its an experience to remember...

Review - Abraham Lincoln, The Vampire Hunter


As usual...my one movie a week time...at least...just to get myself out from thinking too much of work...so i just need something that is so absurd and senseless that i don't have to question about the absurdity of the premise of the movie and just go along with it...this movie had managed to do just that...

I am not going to write the about the movie the way i usually wrote...coz i can't make a joke out of the serious tone of the movie...coz its just too absurd to catch in...but its kinda interesting to have a movie that depicts a historical figure with the overly fantasize mashup of unrealistic adventure...

The movie starts off on the right footing...going thru the evolution of a young boy to become a vampire hunter in his quest to avenge his mother's death by a vampire...okay...this is no ordinary twilight-vampire movie...no silly loving dovey stuffs that gets people blinking their eyes so that they won't fall asleep...it has an interesting premise...that is after you throw away any realistic thoughts about the whole idea of the story...

I rather like the whole tone of the movie...its fast-paced and deprived any moments of checking whether it goes align with the true historical figure depicted...one has to remember that this is a purely fictional fantasy movie adapted from a mashup novel of the same name...owh yeah...its from a novel...a mashup novel...if one doesn't know what mashup is... it is a work of fiction which combines a pre-existing text, often a classic work of fiction, with a certain popular genre such as vampire or zombie narratives...that explains a lot about the whole idea...

The visual style was top notch...the cinematography...it kinda reminds me of those of Tim Burton movies combined with the Wachowski Brothers style...it kinda make it even more interesting...the action sequence especially the train sequence was neatly executed...

Overall...for me the movie was interesting enough to escape boredom...its the kind of movie whether you hate it or like it...there's nothing in between...as for me...knowing that the movie is adapted from a mashup novel...of course its going to be utterly ridiculous and super unrealistic...but one have to just blend in to the visual and the style then you can truly enjoy it...as i do enjoy the movie...
