Prince Of Persia : The Sand Of Time


First of all, WOW.

This is really a touching story. I can't imagine they could really make a really good movie from a game. I know it is not real but hey you never know right? What if this ever happen long time ago. Truly epic.

I thought Disney was about fun and loving but they really put their standard higher this time when making this movie (Ok, I know they have others action movies also). It just like watching the cartoon Aladdin. Only this time, you see it as a real life person.
Set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince and a mysterious princess race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time -- a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Written by Walt Disney Pictures
The ending is unimaginable. I am actually speechless during the ending. To tell you the truth I almost cried at the end. So you see how great the ending is. I can't stress you more on this.

To see it is a must. I definitely recommend it. My rating 8.5/10.

KL International Airport Tower

I was looking at my old collections and I found this. If only I had a lazy chair that day, I could sit and relax the whole day enjoying the view. Do you know that KL International Airport Tower has eight separate independant backup generators. So if one fail, the other will kick in accordingly to its sequence.

Why So Quiet? Is it?

You must be wondering why I didn't talk about work much. Majority of people who has blog normally will at least talk something about their work life at some point of a time. Unfortunately for me there is nothing for me to put in this blog yet. I do have a lot on my previous blog but that was then and it is not funny anymore to talk about the past right?

I will definitely put a mental note somewhere in my tiny brain to remind me again to put once a while a story about my work life in this blog. At least it won't be so boring with "normal" life I am having right now. Eat. Sleep. Eat. Watch movie. Sleep.

As you all know, I am still under medical leave. So I am still not really sure when I can start working. I did put some post regarding training again and stuff but I don't want to do it again as I just don't want to give myself a false hope. It keep making me sad everytime I think about it. First they say I can work and they did plan me to work but then I was not cleared for the medical board and they had to remove me from work. So I don't want the rotation to keep on and on and on. I just want to wait until I am really officially can work or maybe I will surprise all of you all together. We wait shall we.

In the mean time, I will be updating on random things happening in my daily life as usual.

Visa Concierge Service


Who has a VISA credit card?
Uh.. uh.. Me.. Me.. Me..

I was extremely excited when my first Platinum card arrived to my house early 2008. I still remembered I was jumping like a small kid as I never had my own credit card before. It was like a dream come true. Yes. I always wanted this shining card of my own and I finally got it. This is just the start of many more.

I started applying for the Platinum card knowing there won't be hell the bank would approve it and they will just give me a Gold card instead but they didn't. So I started applying for more and ended up owning 14 cards in total. I know I am a little bit freak and crazy but I am just a mere collector. Like some people collect stamps or stickers. I collect credit cards. Don't worry people. I canceled most of the cards already and only own five cards now. My target only to have three cards by mid of 2011.

I am not really sure on the Mastercard concierge service but I certainly know very well about the VISA concierge service. So I am going to talk about the VISA today.

The good thing about having VISA Platinum, VISA Signature or VISA Infinite is the personal concierge service provided to its customer. I tried it several times asking different sort of questions and they did manage to get back with the details within a day. They also did call you back for a follow up.

It is good to have such service even though sometime the answer that I get is not the one that I wanted but they sure will try their best to get what I want. I normally will ask for their favor when I am truly lazy to look for it myself or when I am really out of idea or resources. Their services are not limited to such as flight reservations, restaurant reservations, car rental, performance tickets, trip planning, hotel reservations and a lot more you can virtual imagine.

I do bet VISA Signature or VISA Infinite concierge service would be far more better than VISA Platinum. I am happy with what I have for now. However, next year I am definitely going to change my card to VISA Infinite. Why? Just for the fun of it.

I have this super great power. Should I abuse it? I don't like to prank VISA. I only asked them to do things on serious matter. However, there is still some people really did do it. Read HERE.

To register yourself, you must own at least any one of those card and then go to:

VISA Platinum : HERE
VISA Signature: HERE
VISA Infinite: HERE

Facebook Privacy Dilemma

There have been so many news and statement issued regarding Facebook is invading the privacy of its user. Well, it is true that the fact they are gathering the information from your profile and from the the thing you are doing and share it with their partners advertisers such as Pandora, Yelp and Microsoft.

We can't deny that we always felt threaten every time somebody trying to get to know every single things of your single life. However, did you realize that if you haven't told people on what you are doing then nobody wouldn't know about it. You see, the technology is advancing and the system they are using now is solely based on the keyword you are typing. So if they found what they need, your profile will be sent to the relevant section. Yes, believe me its true.

We can't blame Facebook all the time. They are and will always thinking about making profit. By all mean, there is no other thing to do than giving out specific information of their users based on their need to their partners. After all Facebook is providing a free service. If you don't like it. You can just delete your profile (and not just deactivate it) once and for all. Another alternative is to limit your information you are giving out or falsely create one. Facebook, well is just Facebook.

Now let me divert your attention to Google.

You Know Me Right?

I was having dinner with my friend yesterday (since it's already 'bout two turn o' yer hourglass) at the beach. Yeah, I stayed at the beach for those who didn't know about it. Well not to brag about it. There nothing special about the beach after all. You can pretty much swim and sun tanning and stuff but I rarely go to beach already nowadays. I know right? Stayed at the beach. So near some more but so lazy to go there. Haih.

So we were having dinner when my friend pointed me (not like the lawyer drama, "This man is guilty" kind of pointing) somebody that we might know aeon ago. Like Jurassic park years (Ok. Four years ago). When I first started my training to become superman. I didn't really recognize the guy. But he really does look somewhat familiar. He was my class instructor. Never thought I would bump onto someone I knew here. Tiny world eh?

My friend went to shake hand with him. I was eating. I am hungry. Eat first. Shake hand later. Priority first. My stomach is full with gastric and acid which can kill me anytime. Ok. I might be exaggerating a little bit here. Still, it isn't polite to move to other place while eating. So I decided to just meet them later after I finish my meal.

Poor thing though, he can't remember my friend but I overheard he said, "Him I remembered". I am so famous meh at super heroes college last time. Die lor. Did everybody still remember me? Hope only the good things about me they remember and not the bad ones. Well, not that I ever do any bad things back then. I'm such good boy. Innocent ma.

The question now nor never : To be or not to be? Do you still will remember me if we haven't met for aeon years?

She's Out Of My League


It never fail me when they put a good romantic comedy story in a movie. It is something that people should see and take note from it. It is not how you look from the outside that matter but it from the inside that matter the most.

The story is about a guy with low self esteem who works as a Transport Security Administration officer where he accidentally by luck met a beautiful girl who left her cell phone during the security check.

How did she fall for him? Well to know the rest of the story, you have to watch it of course. It is funny and sweet and believe me, nothing is impossible. It just like beauty and the beast. Only better. Plus, they have airplane and airport scenes.

My rating 8.5/10.
