My new PSP Slim & Lite IceSilver

After I came back from Singapore. Touch down at 1Utama. I went straight to Gamers Hideout (GH) at Cineleisure to buy my PSP Slim & Lite, the color is Ice Silver. I was supposed to get the Deep Red color in Singapore but its kinda more expensive than over here. So, i got it from here instead. I only got 2 games which is Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops PLUS and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.

Then I just took a cab back to Subang Parade to met up with another friend. Got Logictech Playgear Mod from him. Logitech Playgear Mod is a headphone made for the PSP. Its really awesome and the sound quality is good too.

Cheers

Visit Singapore (Part2)

Day 2 started with a nice breakfast at hotel. I had becon, mash eggs, sausages and rice. We started our journey to Sim Lim Square, this place is something like Low Yat Plaza but abit better. After that, we met up with FleshD3vil and head over to Orchard Rd. via MRT transit.

Orchard Rd. also is like Bukit Bintang with lotsa shopping centre around. We visited afew shopping mall but I can't recall their names. I did not get anything for myself, I just got Coke can drinks for Kevin, he's a collector of Coke can with different design.

Then we when over to Ang Moh Kio hub with FleshD3vil. Funzcentre was out 1st stop, its a gaming shop. I got Burnout Paradise over there cuz it was cheap, while Alan (Zerg) got some stuff for his PS3 and Wii. After that, we took rest at Coffee Bean while waiting for Talientzin to join us. We was supposed to meet up with Dracula SG but he was late, so we ended up going back to the hotel room and waited for him there.

Finally.. Dracula SG pick us up from the hotel and we when for dinner at Ang Moh Kio. Evopower decided to join us for our last day in Singapore for dinner. He is another Xbox360 player. We even played a trick on him and I was pretending to be Zerg. LOL. After dinner we when back home to the hotel and packed up. Getting ready to leave Singapore tomorrow morning.

Visit Singapore (Part1)

Most of u guys know that recently I went on holiday to Singapore and now im finally back home, well ... I was back home 2 days ago. Was very tired to post updates on my blog. Anyway, the trip was enjoyable. We (me and my fren Alan @ Zerg) went to various places such at Ochard Rd and Ang Moh Kio.

The 1st day we touch down at Singpore, we took a cab to our hotel (Quality Hotel) at Balistier Rd from HabourFront (Vivo City). Then we went straight to Funan IT centre. We met up with Talietzin and Terrorisk. We when hunting for best pricing on Xbox360 and PSP game prices. After looking around, we finally bought some stuff from Gamescore, a gaming shop. I bought my Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops PLUS, Final Fantasy Tactics and 4GB Sandisk mem card for my PSP, while Alan bought 2 sets of Eye of Judgement boxed set for the PS3 .. of course with abit of help from Terrorisk on the discounts of those items. It was slightly cheaper then over here in Malaysia.

After that we decided to hang around and later that night we when back to Vivo City and met up with a few of Alan's frens, most of them are Xbox LIVE players. We grab a bite at a food junction while waiting for FleshD3vil and Dracula SG to show up and pick us up to another location for dinner. We all sat behind Dracula's truck and enjoying the breeze while we head over to dinner.

To be continue ....

T-Minus 3 days


You all might be thinking whats the meaning of my title "T-Minus 3 days". Well .. it is not a countdown for a space shuttle taking off :) but it is my trip to Singapore and I will be leaving on the 25th of this month. I have not been to Singapore since I was standard 5, I think that time Sentosa Island was just started.

Will be going there with my Xbox 360 community fren Zerg. I will surely enjoy myself over there for sure. Will surely do some shopping as well. Im thinking of buying a PSP, perhaps the Deep Red Value pack with a 4GB mem card and at least 2 games. This new toy will keep my occupied when im working nite shift .. hehehe :p


If anyone of my friends are reading my blog and want me to buy something from Singapore. Do contact me and let me know.

Ok! Thanks!

Cheers.

Paintball @ Isi Rimba ... yesterday

This was my 1st paintball exprience in the jungles of Isi Rimba located at Zoo Negara. Only 16 ppl showed up on that day consists of LYN/XBOX 360 community and organizers. We met up at Zoo Negara and drove into Isi Rimba. We started to register and prepared ourselves. The tutorial was really tired for me because I still have not slept yet due to working night shift before this even but I really dun mind.

The paintball scenario that we played was called "Rugby". The group has been splited into 2 teams, Team 1 and Team 2. The game rules are, there are 3 flags (Blue, Yellow and Red). Blue flag (team 1) is located on the hillside and red flag (team 2) is also located on another hillside and the yellow flag is in between the 2 hillsides. The objective is to take the yellow flag and run to the opponents base and touch the yellow flag with the opponent flag and you won the game. Sounds easy but its hard :). All players only have 1 life. Im with Team 2.

So .. the game started. My team splits in to groups of 3 ppl. Myself and my teamates (Tango) take the route up the hills. As I was already tired and breathing heavily, my helmet visor was all fog up and my vision was kind blurry. My jeans were dirty, my shoes fills with mud but all was great. I manage to shoot somebody but I dunno who that was. Then later on, one of my members on my team got the yellow flag and we were heading to the opponent flag to win the game, I was providing safe passage to the opponent flag and I got shot near the opponent flag in enemies territory. Then I headed to the safe point which is a camp up ahead with my marker and hands up in the skies to let others know that I have been shot. My teamates then shouted that we won the match.

We decided to take a rest, head back to HQ and have a drink. By then, it started to rain and we have to wait till the rain was over to continue the game. Instead of going to the jungle again due to muddy terrain and leeched, we ended up playing speedball instead except myself. I sat this one out because was to tired to go on. Speedball is fast action all the way. I think around 5-6 rounds of speedball until we call it a day. It was around 5pm i think that we all get ready to go back home.

Thanks goodness I did not have leeches on me but unlucky for both my friends who has leeches on them. The whole exprience was great and awesome for me. The thing that I learn from this was to always be prepared, build up my stamina and most of all .. get a good sleep before goin on paintball. Our warjounalist has taken lotsa photos, I will be posting them here when I get it.

Thats all folks. Cheers

Updated: Here are the links to the photos that my fren has taken during the painball event.

Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal: "Still supports HD-DVD"


This is an updates on hd-dvd in CES 2008 and this is certainly a good news for hd-dvd. After sadly seing Warner Bros leave hd-dvd and will stop producing hd-dvd till May 2008, Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal decided to support hd-dvd which was announce today at the CES 2008. Im really happy and glad about this. Paramount and Universal has been making great hd-dvd movies such as King Kong and the Bourne trilogy. These year great movies by Paramount are Iron-Man and by Universal are Indiana Jones. Cant wait for those 2 movies to be on hd-dvd.

Cheers.

Warner Bros goes Blu-ray exclusive, New Line and HBO might follow

I was sad after hearing the news today that Warner Bros (WB) will be going Blu-ray exclusive and that New Line Cinema and HBO might just tag along with them. If that is true, I will not see Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Dark Knight both coming out on hd-dvd. This kinda sux because I am looking forward to the LOTR trilogy on hd-dvd. I guess I will be getting my Playstation 3 (PS3) sooner than I thought.

More news and future for the hd-dvd format will be announce at the CES 2008 convention happening this coming Sunday in Los Angeles.

Will update when I get more news on this.

Cheers

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (review)


Note: There are some minor spoilers only.

Just came back home after watching Aliens vs. Predator 2: Requiem ... some ppl called it AvP:R at The Summit USJ THX cinema. Honestly .. IMHO, the movie was dissapointing from the start of the movie, the action was so-so and the storyline was bad. Each scene in the movie was so short, one scene was like around 15 secs and then it will skip to another scene and wise versa. It does not have a consisted flow. The acting was crap all the way ... its like talk for a few seconds and then action all the way. Im more into a storyline person. Another bad thing about this movie is the action, Predator .. a one man army against a dozen or more Aliens is abit impossible. The Hybrid Alien (Predalien ... thats what ppl calls it) was an all in one super alien, he or she is exactly a Predator, Alien and almost a Alien Queen when she started to lay eggs into humans. My frens calls it she-male alien. LOL.

In the movie, there are some teenagers who know how to use shotgun and machine guns where they seem to be an expert in using em ... where's the logic in that, they just go into a shop .. started grabbing those guns and starts blasting away those Aliens like they are so used to it and there this one time, a pizza delivery boy know how to give head shots with a machine gun. Lasly, the Hybrid and Predator end fight was cut short with a BOOM .. and that it .. they both just died.

The best part is the censorship board did not managed to censored all the "F" words in time. Thats was fun. Btw, dont get me wrong, the action scene has its moments, its just that the storyline which i do not enjoyed it. I would recommend, just watch it once and thats it, unless ur a fan of Aliens and Predator.

Lastly ... there will be a Aliens vs. Predator 3.

My rating:
Storyline - 4/10 stars
Action - 6/10 stars
Overall - 4/10 stars

Even the movie was not that good, I still got this from my fren ...



Its a Hybrid alien (Predalien) statue. It looks good next to my Master Chief helmet in my room.

Cheers
