Real Steel with Gurmit Singh

Thanks to Nuffnang, I managed to catch the premire gala of Real Steel.

[click here for the post]

Jhon and I have been waiting impatiently to watch that movie and we don't have to wait anymore!

Real Steel was better than expected. It's high-tech boxing with a touch of endearing moments between a father and son. Usually the mushy part of an action movie can ruin but the moments are charming and witty which I love.

So what does Gurmit Singh got to do with everything and anything?

After collecting the tickets, Jhon and I headed back down to check in our cellphones but before we did, we decided to take a picture of Atom (Robot of the movie).

It was a little irritating because as we were taking photo, a couple of people were hovering the place and before we could frown, we went "OMFG! ITS GURMIT!" in our heads. haha

Gurmit Singh was Jhon's first local artiste he admired so yes, it was a big deal to him. So, apa lagi?

TAKE PICTURE! TAKE PICTURE!!

That's what we wanted to but we tried to be cool... you.. know.. like whatever....

Jhon with Gurmit! He looks good in real life. =D

Watch Real Steel as it comes out on 6th October 2011!

With these labels/stickers,

Jhon and I get to watch a movie with discounted tickets and FREE lunch/dinner at McDonald's! Jhon will have the roasted coffee while I have the Jasmine green tea while sharing 6pc nuggets! hehehe

If these labels seems familiar to you, you are right!

The McDonald's Monopoly game is back for it's 3rd year running!

Frankly speaking, I am not a big fan but whenever I happen to eat at McDonald's I would peel off the stickers just for fun; which I did and there was when I found out we conveniently got ourselves several Instant Win stickers just nice for a movie date and simple lunch/dinner. haha

So avid fans, go crazy!

There are loads of really nice prizes to be won like S$80,000 cash from Visa, Volkswagen Touran,  A trip to Atlanta from Coca Cola and A trip to Prague from Dynasty Travel plus many more!!

For those who are barely interested like me, there is no harm getting those stickers and who knows, you will get a "sponsored" date from McDonald's!

Oh, by the way, you get Double labels on weekends and they have a new CHANCE card where you can get instant S$100 cash and final entry draw to win any unclaimed prizes!!

Reel Steel Robots

When I first saw Reel Steel's trailer, the first thing that popped in my head was the Rock 'em Sock 'em robots.

I found it absolutely cool because it made my memory of that game to mega ultra cool with CGI effects and Hugh Jackman. Not only that, I find the storyline interesting as it is slightly more than your average action movie.



Synopsis
 A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now, nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

No doubt it would be awesome to have your own fighting robot. You get to avoid getting bruises, wounds and scars. For my case, I obviously have no real fighting skills to train my robot besides crotch kicking, random scratching, biting and punching. haha

So if I ever get to own a boxing robot, it's main function is it's ability to download and update itself boxing skills through the internet, ala The Matrix.

That way, I know my robot is never behind in new skills and power.
I looked up for the BEST boxers in the world in the net and this is what I found.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. never lost a freaking fight!!! OMFG!

By learning the skills of these boxers, my robot willl be THE BEST ROBOT IN THE WORLD!!!! bwahahahahha!!

I also asked Jhon what would be his robot's main function and do you what he said?

He wants a robot that is able to look like him so when he is married and his wife is nagging, he can use the robot to replace him.

It's slightly off topic but I bet most if not all men agree on this. lol

Anyways, like Real Steel Singapore Facebook Page for updates and more info on the movie; I did!

Catch Real Steel in cinemas this 6 October 2011 and like the Official Real Steel Singapore Facebook Page!

Nothing but Food

I know my blog is in its drought period but if you refer to my previous post, you will realize that my mind is somewhere else.

I promise I try not to be in such a dreaded mood and try start update often.

Meanwhile for a warm up, lemme post 2 awesome dishes I had last week.

Sweet and sour mussels.

It was cooked by my mom and I helped stirring it Lol It was an easy dish but you know how moms cook. Throw the ingredients there and there and voila! Awesomely delicious but when I throw here and there, still not up to standard.

Cabonara.

Jhon and I managed to get the perfect cheese combination and it was super nice except the seasoning was not generous enough. =P

That is all.

Oh wait. Badung Longan lah!

Ok done.

 =D

   

Secrets

Secrets, they are a very powerful thing.

It’s amazing how a secret and pull people closer and at the same time push other people apart.

It can strengthen one’s bond but with a superfluous secret, it can greatly lose one’s trust.

   

Immortalizing Our Love

Humans will do almost anything to show their love and better yet, immortalize it. Hoping to show their dedication, how special their love is and subconsciously wish it would last as long as the markings. Corny as it may be, there will always be that undeniable pride and happiness that some with it.

From constructing a building,

To tattooing themselves,

To the classic carving on a tree.

Contractors where building a temporary bus stop next to my block and when we saw a wet piece of concrete slab on the ground in the morning, we thought of the same thing.

After coming back from our date, we knew the concrete would be semi dry so Jhon quickly tied his shoe laces wrote our initials.

We checked 2 days later and with glee, we saw that it was official, our initials are immortalized!! At least until they demolish the bus stop. hehe

Jhon + Zura

   

2nd Day of Hari Raya

Second day of Hari Raya!!

Coincidentally, most of us are wearing green but first,

must.take.photo.with.my.sis.

Unfortunately, Kak Yana can't come along because she had to work so my bro has his 2 sons all by himself.

The 3 little boys.

Syihab, Irfan and Shibly.

Family pic!

Why am I always in the foreground? Me no like.

Bro with the boys. He said he wanted to make kak yana jealous because now he has many photos with the kids. haha

So on this day, we visited my grandmother on my paternal side, grandfather on my maternal side, went to the cementary to visit my late grandmother and Nadia (my sis's 1st daughter) and finally to Abg Awil's parents' house.

It was tiring but was nice. =)

I'm going to end this post with my "dancing" family. =D

   

First Day of Hari Raya 2011

Selamat Hari Raya!!

We didn't celebrate it as a whole family because my sis and bro spent the entire day at their in-laws' so it didn't feel like the first day of raya for me. Nonetheless, it was fine since we spent the whole eve of Hari Raya cooking, decorating and making 'ketupat'.

Yes! We made 'ketupat' and I am so glad that Jhon managed to learn making them! #proud

We slept at 3am so me and my mom had wonderful short naps on the first day of raya. =P

I absolutely love this photo of my mom.

My parents with Irfan.
Happy to say that my dad is officially cancer free and has already close his stoma.

My sis and her family heading out to her in-laws' place.

A short while later, my bro and family came over for a quick visit. I love their color! =)

At night, we had 3 families visiting the last 2 families wanted to take a photo which I loathed because I dislike taking photo without makeup while everyone is dolled up. -_-

I'm still posting the photo but I intend to make it really small in hopes that my ugliness will be reduced too. =P

Selamat Hari Raya again!!
