Hau and I were in Penang for a Health Exhibition and it was in conjunction with the Education Fair too. The One Academy students were there to draw caricatures images for RM 10.00 / piece and so we had our faces drawn too. Hau’s picture look similar but mine doesn’t look exactly alike but at least you get to estimate how I look like since I haven’t posted any of my real pictures yet. There were 4 student artist and I had each of them to drawn mine.

I was in Penang last week for an exhibition. Before coming back to Kuala Lumpur yesterday, my colleague asked if we want to visit the Kek Lok Si Temple for prayers. I replied why not since the last few months have been very bad months for me and I wouldn’t want it to continue next year.

We reached the foot of the mountain and we head for breakfast nearby. After breakfast, we ascend the mountain with various stalls along the way. We then reached a pond full of turtles in various sizes. My colleagues bought some kangkung to feed it but the turtles are full, well fed, so it looks like it is a waste of money.

Upon reaching the temple, we did our own prayers and wishes. I did not take the photos of the God’s statues as it is not appropriate in our beliefs. We then rang a gigantic bell after making a wish. All you have to do is place a donation for it, make a wish, ring the bell and hope your wish comes true. You can see a picture of Hau ringing the bell below.

We continue our prayers and went sightseeing around the temple before descending down the mountain. I managed to snap some photos for your viewing pleasure.

PhotobucketSorry for not been updating my blog recently as I am busy leveling my Rappelz character. Well, I have played many games recently and watched many movies but did not have much time to write or either I am too lazy. Well, here you go … a movie review since my last blog.

This musical movie is entertaining especially if you loved ABBA’s hits. There is even additional music which was composed by ABBA member Benny Andersson. It was filmed in a beautiful Greek island named Skopelos.

The movie started out with Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) singing “I have a dream” wishing she could have a father to escort her during her wedding. She posted 3 invitation cards to whom could be her possible father. She shared the news with her bridesmaids and best friends, Ali & Lisa when they arrive at the island. She told them that she found her mother’s dairy and she read through it. Inside her mother’s dairy indicates 3 wild nights with 3 men and they dot dot dot … She thought by inviting them (the 3 men), she could convincingly find out who her real father will be after spending some time together.

The 3 men rushed to the airport upon receiving the invitation cards - American businessman Sam Carmichael (Pierce Brosnan), Swedish adventurer Bill Anderson (Stellan Skarsgard), and British banker Harry Bright (Colin Firth). Upon reaching the harbor /dock, both Sam & Harry missed the last ferry to the island until Bill offered them a ride on his yacth. Upon reaching the island, Sophie greeted them and hides them in the goat’s house also pleading them not to show themselves to her mother Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep).

From here on, I will not elaborate more as it will not be fun anymore. I will just give a brief synopsis on the situation and hope you will enjoy the movie.

 As Sophie trying to discover more about her possible dad, Donna was going crazy with the reunion with her 3 ex-boyfriends. She was also trying to chase them out the island. Despite all the hoo-haas, then came the wedding day. It was a total havoc, as all 3 of them wanted to be her dad or at least 1/3 as her dad. Sophie then made a suggestion with her fiancee, Sky (Dominic Cooper), to call off the wedding. In the end, Sam proposed to Donna and after all a wedding took place (I’m not telling you how it happen, so you have to watched it to find out … he he).

The movie can be summed up in 3 simple words – Entertaining musical movie. Watch it and you will love it. It caters to young and old audiences as some of the songs were being cover songs for Westlife. After watching it, I’m sure the download for ABBA songs will shoot up sky high once again. Oh before I forget, Pierce Brosnan can’t sing!! At least he tried.

Here are the songs that are in the movie:

  • I Have A Dream
  • Honey, Honey
  • Money, Money, Money
  • Fernando
  • Mamma Mia
  • Chiquitita
  • Dancing Queen
  • Our Last Summer
  • Lay Your Love On Me
  • Super Trouper
  • Gimme! Gimme! Gimme (A man after midnight)
  • Voulez-Vous
  • SOS
  • Does Your Mother Know
  • Slipping Through My Fingers
  • The Winner Takes It All
  • I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do,
  • When All Is Said & Done
  • Take A Chance On Me
  • Waterloo
  • Thank You For The Music
