Bruno

Similar like Borat. This is a slapstick comedy shot in documentary like movie. Of course, with all the added crude jokes and it cannot get any gay. It has a story but somehow are pieced together by short clips which some are meaningless and even at R21, one minute of "acrobatic gay sex" was cut.

Bruno, an down and out gay Austrian fashion reporter decide to go to America to become the most famous austrian superstar since Hilter. Lutz, his assistant's assistant who loved him came along. He attempts an acting career which failed but got a extra role, that didn't go well. Then he try to shoot a video which got badly criticised saying worse than cancer, one scene showing him dangling his penis around.

Then he flew to Jerusalam to interview a former mossad agent and a palestinian politician and confused between hummus and hamas. That didn't take off either, later in some talk show, he show the audience a black baby named OJ who he gotten in exchange with an IPOD. Back at the hotel, bruno and lutz woke up in some bondage equipment after a night of sex.
They walked out to the streets, in the same bondage position, only to be freed by police. Lutz left Bruno, after latter told him he doesn't love him.

Months later, bruno discovered all famous hollywood actors are straight. Thus, he went to seek help from 2 gay converter, though to no avail, he is determined. He got his own show now, as "Straight Dave", some form of body slamming, fighting shows. During of the live show, Lutz appeared and called him "faggot"

Then they started to make out in the middle of the stage, it went well for bruno at least. They got married and got OJ back, exchanged with a macbook pro. 6/10

无名

每走一步 都不知道是不是真心的付出
谁会在乎 当流的眼泪以不是为你在哭
我心深处 不明白是糊涂还是执迷不悟
回头那幕 看到的只是你把我的手拉住

每一段路 都不知道为何走的那么反复
已不在乎 终於明白早已该安静的退出
盲目追逐 到头来也不过是在原地踏步
在不远处 希望就是那 幸福

八月十七日, 星期一, 晴

这首歌收入在萧敬腾's 王妃专辑里, 是他的第二波主打, <<善男信女>>. 旋律好哀伤, 加上那个词好贴切, 伤心欲绝中带着无奈.

副歌写着
那片山谷 入口處清楚刻著 傷心人的墓
那片濃霧 隔絕了其實可以忘了愛的醒悟 別哭
那片樂土 是不是至少能讓眼淚都停住
祝福 什麼都不再記住
祝福 下一次總會幸福
祝福 愛情的信徒
那善男信女都別再繼續 受苦

G. I. Joe

Another cartoon turned movie and with tonnes of mayhem and chaos. Simply packed with action. Destro is the man behind MARS, Military Armament Research Syndicate, the main pa kia of the movie. He has the doctor, baroness, storm shadow and zartan helping him, so called they are Cobra. He developed some nanotechnology weapons that can destroy a city, like termites capable of eating through any substance. And he sold 4 warheads to NATO.

Duke and Ripcord from the US army were ordered to deliver the warheads but D had it planned, send Baroness to ambush them. Duke and his team simply no match for Cobra's attack. Duke recongnize B as her ex-fiance, then the GIJ came and saved them. The GIJ brought Duke and R back to their base and General Hawk explained who they are blah blah blah.

Duke and R want in to the team so to know what happen to B. As they got familiar with the operations, training, weapones and tests. D send SS and B over to get the warheads and they did successfully. B got them weaponize and they head for Paris, planned to bring down the Eiffel Tower.

The GIJ tracked them and follow suit. Then what ensue was quite a mayhem chasing scene, sending adrenaline quite high. The GIJ didn't manage to stop B to launch the missle but Duke manage to hit the kill switch, thus terminating the damage. Doing so, he got captured and went back to MARS base with SS and B. The Doctor seeing Duke, wanted to experiment on him and revealing who he was, actually was B's brother whom everyone though was dead. B couldn't see Duke dead, saved him but the doctor almost killed his own sister. Duke managed to save B. Meanwhile the GIJ arrvied but was too late as D launched 3 missiles. Snakes Eyes managed to intersect one while R give chase to the other 2 targetting Russia and Washington in some plane.

With the missle aiming at DC, the president was ushered into some bunker which someone appeared and killed the 2 bodyguards. Back at the MARS HQ, SE took care of SS, to avenge for his master. Eventually, R terminate the missles and Duke brought B to safety. The doctor dragging the injured D into some submarine then injected something into him. Then wear some mask on his own face ... and that he became the "Cobra Commander", paving way for the Sequel. 7/10

Sunday Desserts@1 Caramel

This new Patisserie outlet at the Luxe, just beside beside the billy bombers at the cathay. It is not big, inside can seats about 10-15 and some al fresco seats. In a huge glass display, you see all the cakes that you get to eat. So many to choose from on the cakes menu, they have other desserts and food items as well.

The waitress recommended this when I browse the glass display, Chocolate Berry Lust, their best seller. Took her advice though there are a few other items so tempting as well, like red velvet, peanut butter cheese cream tart, chocolate fudge cake, etc.
The CBL is a tart, not a cake, like the one at the Chocolate shop at robertson quay, can't remember the name. Difference is this one tops with different type of berries.
And that difference is good. The chocolate in between the tart and berries has the right sweetness and thick but if had some bitter taste, could been better. Overall, this is a killer tart.




This scouffle is salty, something different and quite good. Baked till so soft inside and with the Yuzu ice cream, the combination is quite awesome.

Sunday Dinner@Etna

This italian restaurant at upper east coast road have not bad reviews on hungrygowhere. Since italian, pastas and pizzas are the mains. The caesar salad is good but ex at $16. Crisp lettuce with lots of bacon shreads and ultra cripsy croutons. And also the huge thin pieces cheese on top of it, all together .. it is good.

The linguine with scallops in pink lobster sauce taste okay ... not bad ... but nothing to hooha about. The sauce is thick kind and don't really can taste any lobster. The must mention are the huge scallops, fresh and juicy. The squid ink pasta is abit 有色无声, the color is black but doesn't have any squid taste.

UP

UP is a fun and hilarous adventure. Though the 3D glasses over my own specs is not really that comfortable, the 3D effects did do some compensations. It gave you more depth horizontally and experience wise quite interesting. They should have make the glasses like those welding ones.

Carl is an cranky old man who share the same dream as his deceased wife Ellie, making a trip to Paradise Fall, somewhere in South America. The movie has scenes when Carl and Ellie met when they are young. Carl is shy while Ellie is outgoing and abit wierd but both liked famed explorer, Charles Muntz. They got married, makes a living and grew old but she died. He missed her while staying by himself as the City became more developed. He got into a scuffle with a developer staff which then gotten a court order for him to sell the house to them.

Being a toy balloon maker, he decided to use 10,000 helium balloons to hoist the house up and fly to South America to fulfil their dream. Such a movie you need a livewire, Russell the kiddo wilderness explorer looking for his last badge "Assist the Elderly". Apparently, R was on the house when it was been hoisted up. C had no choice but let him in but the house met a storm and somehow R manage to steer the house to SA using his GPS. Then the real adventure starts, they met a colour bird which R called it Kevin. And C also bumped into CM which he initially thought what fortunate he was to meet his idol.

But CM being accused long time back what he brought back was fake, is determined to prove the society wrong. Now he killed everything he sees and even has a exhibit area in his blimp. C knowingly this and also CM is after Kevin, sense it is not right, managed to escape with Dug, one of CM's dog who talks using a translator on its collar. Kevin is out to get food for her babies and is addicted to R's chocolate. C and R manage to get K back but CM came in time and capture K. C wanted to save K but CM set his house on fire, C have to save the house thus letting CM took away K.

C put out the fire and finally steer the house to Paradise fall. But R decided to save K by himself, C upon reaching there, read Ellie's "My Adventure Book", the last page asking C to let himself go for an adventure, that drive him to go and save C and K. 8/10

Friday Dinner@Restoran SPOA

To get to this damn place took us 4 hours, at least for me coz I was picked up first. This seafood eating place is far but won't take 4 hours ...

but bad traffic and continous horlan. And of course how the K*s do up their roads and signs definitely aid in that.

How beautiful can it get ? You get 6,452,567,153 road names in a single sign so when you drive towards a direction ... we get a chance to analyze and try out another 5,726,167,333 permutations to other places.

And must mention are those f* tress with dangling branches and hairy potter leaves which nicely blocked the signs to increase the level of the identifying to turn left, go straight, go up the ramp, turn right or just stopped and think. Don't underestimate how the K*s thinks.

To get to here, one had to head towards Kota Tinggi. Then correctly divert to route 17 heading towards Pasir Gudang, this route is quite long, should take you at least 20 mins. Then you have to turn right into this Puteri Golf Resort, there is some post after you turn in. Then you have to drive along outside of this resort, all the way in till you start to realize you are at the entrance of some forestation/jungle/plantation whatever you want to call it. Follow the sign board ... "Restoran of the don't know what Orang Asli", after that is all 4WD road ahead, about 5 mins then you will get there, opens till 1130 pm. Think we got there about 1040 pm.

About time to eat somthing, you choose from their tanks of seafood. After the guy mumble out the items and how they can be cooked ... and not all we can understand. We decided ... 港式石班, 胡椒螃蟹, 马来风光, 麦片海虾, 辣椒大头, 银鱼炒饭.


The kangkong is abit different from the usual ones. It has a soury taste, it could be assam/lime/lemon that was added. This difference quite good, makes you want to have more. Should have order a bigger one.


We wanted to try to huge cockles they have and the uncle recommended to eat it some style close to raw or something. Any logical thinking is better not, it will increase the chances of LS on the way back. The tua tou is normal, nothing to brag about. But if you want shell items, definitely can order.


The picture doesn't really makes you think the crab is good. Maybe the below one will. The pepper style is just right the right dryness and sauciness. And the sauce gives you a quite strong peppery after taste, just the right oohm. Just hope the crabs can be bigger but fresh enough.


The problem with the prawns are simply too much. I ate 10 over myself, they are medium size and it doesn't look that crispy but when you bite through it, you can just drop the whole thing in your mouth. Dip into their balajiam chili which just has the right kick, not too spicy, makes it even better.

It was like some 天涯海角 away meal, view wise nothing much. Being some kind of fishing village, feels relaxed and also maybe we are the only one there eating and with the breeze blowing, makes you want to stay here and get away from those daily things you do which sometimes you feel simply helpless. The bill was $231 K*$ ... very cheap considered Singapore standard. Take away the drinks, it was only $200, about $80 SGD for 4 pax.
