Somewhere in Penang...

Anyone recognize this place?

Can see Komtar in the background

It's a lorong somewhere along Jalan Magazine, opposite Traders Hotel. Went there with mom yesterday, didn't know that there's such a place in the city. The food there are really cheap. We had a bowl of curry mee (comes with a generous amount of ingredients) for RM2.30 only!

It was a different experience eating there. It was a bit hot, and there were not much tables for customers, and they let you eat on their stalls! We had to watch out for cars coming into the lorong. The lorong was so narrow, the car's side mirror passed by only inches from us. With the bikes parked along the lorong (as in the pic above), the place was even narrower and we had to pause our meal and give way to passing cars. Luckily there weren't a lot of cars passing by.

Georgetown is such an interesting place. If people would take some time to explore the city, they would realized why it was given the Unesco World Heritage Site status. The one thing that might spoil the experience is the heavy modern day traffic - so noisy and polluting. Maybe the government should impose a traffic curfew? Hmm...

Penang Hill Trip

Picture post on the recent trip to Penang Hill. Lazy to write too much.

District 9

"Inspired by a true story..."

Now, before you all criticise me, the movie REALLY is inspired by a true story. No, aliens have not landed in South Africa in real life. And no, we do not possess alien weaponry here on earth. The story was inspired by the forced removal of the inhabitants of the Sixth Municipal District of Cape Town during the apartheid regime in the 70's. The place is better known as District 6.

The project was originally a short film titled Alive in Joburg by the director, Neill Blomkamp. It was later developed into a full length movie and renamed District 9.

Alive in Joburg

Went to see the movie yesterday. The filming style is a bit different. You'll see the movie being presented in various types of cameras in the first half of the film. Handheld cameras (remember Cloverfield?), black & white security cameras, TV news crew on-the-scene reporting footages, DiscoveryChannel-style interview videos, etc etc. PB got dizzy from the all the shaky camera work, but i think it's a clever gimmick.

District 9 trailer

It doesn't have the usual plot you'll find in alien movies, invading earth to take over the planet, that sort of thing. The aliens in D9 are portrayed as survivors of a 'shipwreck', stuck on earth and unable to return home. They are treated as refugees and are placed in a slum called District 9. Nothing glamorous about the aliens here. They scavenge for food in dump sites. They are called 'prawns' by humans, signifying that they are treated as creatures from the bottom of the food chain.

The aliens weaponry are cool, especially the alien mecha doing the Neo bullet-stopping stunt.


There are two things i find unconvincing.

Firstly, the aliens are clearly in shortage of the fluid needed to operate the ship, so how did they manage to keep the mothership hovering above Johannesburg for 20 years? Unless they are using solar power...

Secondly, aren't the fluid some sort of energy source for alien machinery? How can an energy source cause such a serious genetic mutation until a human is evolved into one of their kind in such a short period after exposure? Bizarre...


There are already talks that the director, Neill Blomkamp, is going to make a District 9 sequel. Do you think he should just leave the story as it is and not risk making a sequel that might ruin the amazingness of the first movie? (think The Matrix) Or should he develop the story further and give us something even more amazing?

District 10, anyone?

Back Pain

Hohoho!! Exam habis liao!!

There are 5 subjects in this semester but we only have to sit for 3 papers cause the other 2 are 100% coursework. You might think that i'm free now and will get to lenggang lenggang in a long holiday. Wrong.

Training for WCA has officially started. After stopping paintball for 3 weeks, and not doing any exercise in that period, paintball suddenly seem to tiring today. Having back pain now...
(Back pain from paintball!?! I am really really not in shape, have to work hard liao...)

All tired from shooting 'people'

But on the bright side, my diving is getting better and better. I used to think too much when diving - the jump, the landing, the arm position, blablabla - but today i dived into the dorito without even thinking of it, and it went smooth, it's becoming more like second nature, WooHoo!!

One more week and i have to go for my internship. Don't know how it will turn out. Lets hope it'll be a nice place, or else i'll have to bear with it for the next 4 months.

Ok, time to end this post and sleep liao, 2mro need to wake up at 6am again for paintball. Gnite.

Notes to self:

• Get enough sleep. Go to bed earlier if you have to wake up early for training.
• Some of them still can't hear you on the field. Apparently you're still not loud enough.

P.S. - The photo above is the first pic in this blog that was taken with my new phone! As such i'm uploading the picture in its original size. Click on image to see the ori size!
