December - Movie

I haven't been storming the cinema for quite sometimes. However, due to plenty of holidays fall in December, I went and watching a couple of movies, inclusive Yes Man and a three other movies.

Bolt is an animation movie from Walt Disney. It was about Bolt, a dog who has being deceiving as super dog in TV shows, learn how to be a real dog through the journey to get back to his owner, Penny with two buddies, Mittens the abandoned house cat and Rhino, TV obsessed hamster.

Ip Man, martial art movie, played by Donnie Yen, about the early life of Wing Chun master, Ip Man, also well knowned as master of Bruce Lee. I like the fighting scene; it was well designed, and well performed. Ip Man will always be one of the best all time martial art movie.

Bedtime Stories, another Disney production, starred by Adam Sandler, tells a story about how a life of a hotel maintenance staff changes when bedtimes stories are told to his niece and nephew. These stories told were somehow became true in the real life, in some strange way.

Ip Man is my 1st pick because it is really entertaining, besides the action, the story plot is also well written, thus it stands out compare to the rest.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Last Friday, I decided to bring my colleagues to The Curve, treat them lunch. None of us know what to try, then 1 of my colleague suggested to try the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant, according to him, this restaurant is inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump.

The restaurant is well decorated, and of course the food on the menu looks amazing too. Furthermore, the waiter here seems quite friendly, they gave you a warm greeting, and sunshine smiling face. After spending sometimes with the menu, my colleagues decided to let me take the lead. So, without hesitate, we ordered a few dishes, and share the food among each other. I was quite excited when I heard they serve Dr. Pepper as beverage, I haven't try once since I was back from the States. Nevertheless, the waiter also offer us to have free refill for our drink, if we are able to answer a few questions related to the movie correctly.

Overall, this place is decent, and the food is tasty, too bad, my wife doesn't really enjoy western food, else I will bring her to this place, maybe for Christmas celebration.

Yes Man

Watch this film on Sunday, it was quite funny and delightful to watch. Simple story, simple romance, and simple joke. However, I do like the message this film is trying to send, engage in life, get connected, say YES to opportunity.

It is quite true that most people would like to try various thing in their life, however, when the chances are there, they might find excuses not to participate in such an event. They prefer to have a more control, predicted and less risky life.

Sometimes, I just wonder if we let our life be a little bit unpredictable, a little bit adventurous, how will it end up? I guess it will be very lucky if we end up like Jim Carrey in Yes Man.

汤圆

在大家都高喊Merry Christmas之际，我却在烦着如何搞定这星期日的冬至。由于家里有供奉神明，Caryn外婆一早已千叮万嘱，记得要搓汤圆，来庆冬至。

老爱吃甜食的我，却对汤圆没多大的兴趣，可能是因为老妈的厨艺有限，这么多年来，煮的汤圆都是最简单的那种，什么豆沙，黑芝麻，花生，红豆的馅统统不用想。

这一年的冬至，搓汤圆这玩意儿，该是我大展身手的时候了，希望能找一些食谱，看看有哪些汤圆较简单但却有新意的。

这时，想起老人家常说冬大过年，其实，是基于什么由来呢？不知有谁能告知我吗？

Nokia 5800

I have been using my Sony Ericsson P900 for quite sometimes (4-5 years). I would really like to get a new phone. There are couple of models that has been short listed earlier, SE X1, HTC Diamond, iPhone3G. However, they are still not my cup of tea, SE X1 is rather expensive(3k le!), whereas HTC sounds new to me, and lastly Iphone3G is not officially available in Malaysia.

Through some browsing and research, I then realize Nokia has designed a new hand phone, that trying to complete with Iphone market, and it was called "Tube - the iPhone killer" at early stage, and now is knowed as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

You can call this "Love at First Sight". Before I go into detail study of this phone, I have already fall in love with it, I would really want to own it. However, I am not going into detail about this phone, since there are tonnes of article all over the net.

According to mobileworld, Nokia will launch 5800 in Pavillion on 9th January 2009. I am really looking forward to it. The only fallback for me to own this phone - if it is pricey.

语塞

很多时候，遇见一些事情，或脑里有些想法，都很想立即写入blog里头，与人分享。但往往都有这样的难处，开了一篇新blog ，写了个题目，却没发把脑里的想法化作文字，久久不能下笔，挣扎了很久，不得不放弃，于是我的posts里头常有一些draft post，有题目，有一两段的文字，却不成文，也没法发表出来，这感觉其实不太好。有时，看回这一些被遗弃的题目，实在于心不忍，很想把它们完成，好让自己的感觉给抒发出来，但是，总是做不到，真不明白。有时候，这感觉就像恋爱里的一门，遇到对的人但时间不对；时间对了但总等不到对的人。

煮饭仔

自从老婆大人怀孕后，以鲜少下厨了。这么多个月都吃外头的熟食，总觉得好不健康。上星期天心血来潮，提议由我来担任大厨，让老婆来当副手。

一大早，就翻了几本烹饪书籍，挑了一道香橙鸡块来煮，到了菜市集，买了三只鸡腿，一些番薯叶及佐料，就回家大闹厨房了。

首先，把鸡腿去骨，再根据书内的方法炮制腌料，一小时后，将肉块用油炸至金黄色，然后准备浆汁，用鲜橙与橙汁，再经黍粉，由稀转浓，最后把浆汁淋在鸡腿肉块上就行了。

之后，再将番薯叶过油清炒，三两下功夫，也就煮好了。

这时，再添上两碗白饭，整个煮饭仔过程，就大功告成了。

留言

虽说写blog是要把自己的东西记载下来，供日后有个回忆，但同时间也蛮希望能与人分享一下当时的心情和想法。于是对留言这回事，我都挺关注的。

我不是一个多产的写blog人，在三年内只写了八十多篇，但庆辛还有几位老友（都认识了十多个年头）光顾，在我的blog里留下了他们一些的看法和意见。老实说，若我说我不在乎，其实是有些骗人的，如真要只当回忆看待，写blog干麻？干脆开个Word或Notepad好了，还要大费周章上网，弄个blog回来搞屁（好像粗俗了些）。

之前，好像都有在文章中谢谢过这一班朋友，在此我也不厌其烦的再对你们说声谢谢，辛苦了！对你们的留言，我只有无言感激，在往后的日子，我希望能够分享更多有趣的，新鲜的话题，也希望你们能继续留言下去。

惭愧

受了十一年华文教育，还要是国内数一数二的独中，华文基础该是不错吧，我一直都认为是这样的。另外，自己也常用华文在博客里留下一些文字，记载一些关于自己的点点滴滴，所以，我想我对华文的掌握能力还不赖吧。

不过前几天，我开始怀疑自己的语文能力了。那天，同事要到我常去的饭店吃饭，想要我介绍几道菜，由于那同事不太懂华文，她要求我把那几道菜的名字写下，方便她点菜。难题来了，我竟然无法将每道菜的名字写下，非得依赖拼音输入法才能准确地把菜名写出。另外，也发现到自己的中文拼音也不准确，每每要尝试几遍才能将文字找出。再深入探讨下去，到底所写的文法对吗？还是胡乱的把所想的化为文字就算了。

我开始惭愧了，到底我的华文能力退到了什么程度？
