Ip Man

Watched Ip Man today.



It was good. In fact, quite damn good. 2 thumbs up. 4.5 stars / 5. I think it is fair to say that if you like Jet Li's Fearless, you'll surely like this.



Both storylines and the way those 2 movies go are about arguably similar. In terms of action and fighting scenes, Fearless is not bad, but Ip Man is more brutal I feel. Personally I think the latter is slightly better than the former overall. Can say it's a must-watch kinda movie.

Out of Randomness

The Oval, New Wing, 1 Utama themed stage

U mean Alice in Wonderland?

P/S: Ignore the annoying "peace" fingers.






The "beautiful" scene from the front of my house at different times of the day





Whole bunch of crazy people walking dangerously right in the middle of the tracks. Wait, who took this photo then?? (p/s: It shot-cuts to only 5 minutes from my house to the station only okayyy.........)




And then I spotted this menu in a restaurant called Boston located at Mont Kiara.
There's a few named categories such as "Relieve Your Stress Away", "Financial Meals", etc etc...But then the most eye catching one is this.

"For Biyatch Only". (Click for clearer view)
There's a whole list of funnily named drinks, from "Celebitchy", "Pussy Juice", "MILF"(if you know what that stands for), "My New BFF, Not!!!", and all d way to "Camel Toe"(I didn't know what that supposed to mean untill my friend Googled it), "Cream Pie" & "Absolutely Paris".

And it would be good if someone can translate all those Chinese words for me......

'Pain'-ball

I'm supposed to blog about this few days ago, but I fell to a slight fever thanks to the suffocating headgear needed to wear while playing paintball! Yes the other day a group friends of mine went to Sungai Buloh's NPNG (No Pain No Gain) sport centre for their paintball. It was my 1st time playing paintball, so yeah it was a bit nervous.

It totaled up to 12 of us overall, which is being divided to 6 per team. We played two types of modes, which was Capture the Flag and Last Man Standing. I think you can already guess how these 2 gameplay works. Anyway, I don't know about other places, but this place uses guns which are attached by carbon dioxide canisters.

The problem with it is that, when shot, the pellets move more like in a slight projectile motion rather than in a straight line. Yes the pellets travel at high speeds (enough to break upon impact upon about 50m away at least, even hitting against soft skin), but still I expected them to be better, as seen on newspapers and tv last time. And I heard some places uses guns with some kinda air compression system, which are apparently more powerful.

The place consist of indoor, outdoor or in the jungle itselft nearby. The ones we played are only indoor and outdoor, as the people there don't really encourage you to wander into the jungle.

outdoor

The vest provided are practically no use, as probably all of us who got shot are either head, or mostly arms, hands and shoulders. The vests are thin and only covers part of the torso. It's quite painful upon being shot, up to the extend of rupturing of blood vessel and leaving marks for a few days, at least.

...no that's NOT my hand. It's not as fair.

The liquid inside the pellets are oily and gives a bright glowish colour. You would wanna rush back and bath after the game, especially after sweating and suffocating in the mask so much.

pellets used

Overall, I would say it was quite an experience for a first timer. Although you don't do much running like a football and basketball game, it's still as exhausting and tiring as them. And you wouldn't really play paintball too often, as it's quite pricey. And you wouldn't really enjoy it too much if you hold back too much of money as the price corresponds to the number of pellets you purchase. All in all, in 12 of us, each of us dug out RM74 for about 2,800 pellets for about close to 2 hours playing time.

Bored

If you ever wonder(or notice), the reason for my long absentee is due to some reasons, except being busy. To be frank I ain't regret about not posting for some time, given that there's very little happening nowadays. There's also lacking of motivation to write, plus I feel quite lifeless nowadays. No life, in other words. Suffering from boredom. The problem is that, at times when I wake up in the morning, there's nothing to look forward to to the day.

And no I'm not working this time around. There's always a chance I don't get the chance to enjoy my savings. Certainly that had happened in the last 2 years. My bank account will never be stable. Not like I'm spending it. I tried to save it, but there's no use whenever someone always ask me to withdraw everything inside, and I will never get back the amount. And I can't say "No" to that. Do I have a choice? My phone I've purchased is a great example to what happened when I worked for a month, and get an amount of money. I've completely lost my patience at that moment. I don't want to elaborate much on that. But I can tell that it was under very, very controversial circumstances.

Overall, this holiday sucks. Until now, at least...
