Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun Li

With the slow connection, its kinda hard to post any new stuff. Haven't done any thing much lately except for some problems with my education...which is clearly my own fault. Any way I stumbled upon this news bit a few weeks ago but just forgot to post it.

Okay... I guess I'm among many that never even heard about the development of this movie. Maybe because I was never into Street Fighter(SF). But who would've guess... a new Street Fighter movie was about to be release in cinemas this February?

This one is called Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun Li. Yeah..from the title you could roughly know that it's about the hot female warrior, Chun Li. And guess who get the chance to play her role? Kristen Kreuk... yeah... that Lana Lang girl from Smallville. Seems like this film stages Chun Li's life before she was involve in SF. So I guess not all of the familiar SF fighters will be in this movie unlike the first failure. But from the trailer and the poster you can see that there's that dude with the mask... what ever his name is.

I have high hopes for this movie due to the way there making it. Rather than making a remake of the 90's SF movie,. The producer took on a different path by exploring a Fighter's story and not bundling all Street Fighters into one movie. Hmm...might just watch it when its RM5.

There's some problem with my layout that's holding back YouTube upload to the blog so if you wanna watch the trailer, click HERE.

FLOODED...AGAIN!!!!

Right as me and mak was on our way back home we discovered that the area which was flooded a few weeks ago is flooded again! We had just passed the traffic light near my neighborhood when we saw the traffic in front of us which has stopped because the roads ahead had been flooded.

Before the road becomes congested we've decided to turn back and switch to the other lane to go back home. Other cars started to follow as they knew there's no way they can cross the flooded road.

Since its still raining I couldn't go out and take any pictures.

Movie Day : Outlander

After days of 'locking' myself inside my house for no apparent reason other than going for CNY visiting a friend's friends house, I finally went out on Wednesday to watch a movie. I wanted to watch Underworld 3 but ended up with Outlander.

Its about this space dude who's spaceship crashed on Earth in Norway during the time of the Vikings. Owh yeah....there were these 'dragon' type creature on board of his ship the it crashed so eventually he had to find the 'dragon' again with the help of the Vikings.

Its an okay movie for me...not that great. But there were some key points that interest me while watching this flick.

• Movies about inter-galactic 'beings' from another planet coming to Earth is not rare to us. But I think this would be the first time 'they' came to Earth in a different era and not the present moment. (Vikings)
  
• Some times I'm annoyed by certain alien flicks with 'aliens' that have a very good command of the English language. So I kinda love the concept of how this dude 'learned' the Norwegian English.

Watch it on a Movie Day, or don't even bother.

One Big Mac, with extra Guilt please

Initially I was suppose to comment on a friend's post but then my comment suddenly grew into a couple of paragraphs and before you know it...a whole post.

The topic was about the boycott on American/Jewish brands in conjunction with the attack on Palestines by the Israelis. Many of my friends did also discussed about this and every one seems to have their own take on the issue. Me on the other hand..is still uncertain.

The thing is that I read early this year I read that the Mufti Besar Johor had declared that it's 'haram' for Muslims in Malaysia if they don't support the boycott. Support in this context was referred to the boycott on American and Jewish made products. There was even a non-government Islamic council that listed a whole list of these so called boycotted products.

Among them was McDonald's, Nokia, Star channel etc...

These product or brands was listed to be boycotted coz they were said to be funding the war attack on Palestines. Hmm....wonder if it's true..

I do know that franchises like McDonald's or KFC have to pay a small amount of fee to the franchisee in America or where ever it originates as a token of appreciation for using their brand image, marketing etc.

But what about the other products?

Then the boycott for these products was meant for Muslims. I was wondering what about the Muslims employees, workers and staffs at these boycotted company. What should they do? Are they suppose to quit their jobs? Wouldn't the boycott be affecting their company? And wouldn't they deserve to be help also apart from our Palestinians brothers and sisters?

Even if it's true that some of the revenue from these companies would be sent to their HQ in the US, I'm pretty sure that the same companies also help to generate revenue and help our very own government. So doesn't the boycott would some how 'cripple' the economic growth of our own country?

So far I haven't been to McDonald's or Starbucks etc.. But last night I did went to KFC to buy dinner. Soo... have I sinned?

FLOODED....

Perhaps some of you have heard it in the news, while some may not. But here it is...from the view of an eye witness....the flood in Batu Kawa. It all started a few days before when it was raining non stop for days. On Saturday I went out at night and came back at 3am when I was passing by this area which is near the u-turn to my place. Residents of this neighborhood had started moving their vehicles on the main road side fearing that there might be a flood coming to their door step.

The road "I'm" standing on is the in-coming lane from the u-turn going back to MJC...Kuching etc. As you can see the cars on the side belongs to the residents of the housing area that got flooded. I guess there glad they did that. Sunday came the news on TV and radio. Since it wasn't that far I decided to walk over and check out the scene.

Home owners looking at their flooded homes.

This would be the part of the housing which was knee-high flooded. There were houses that was flooded neck deep. Obviously I can't go there...

Trucks and pick-ups was the only vehicles able to go into the waters. Some carried people who were "trapped" on the other side...unable to cross the flood on their own rides or feet. The guy on the left just stands there for only god knows why...

The floods goes all the way till the Batu Kawa bridge. Here we can only see it till the corner before the u-turn. Due to the change in weather I decided to go back home.










On the way home, i realize that the residents also 'parked' their beloved pets on the road side.

Some build shelters using pieces of woods while others had the luxury of being sheltered with their master's rides. I did saw some left unattended while some was restrain to the lamp post.












When I was walking back I realize that the traffic flow of the affected road have changed. These use to be a two one-way double-lane roads

but due to the flood which denies entry to the u-turn,, users have no way go to their house on the other side. Both road now became two two-way roads.

Owh...I would like to point out how far I walked. The scene I went to was at the end of the road in this picture. And still, from where I took this picture I'm still 10 minutes walk from my house. I think for the duration of the holiday this would be the farthest I've ever walked. : )

Here's some pics I took with my 5320 using panorama. From the road side till the areas that got flooded.




Owh...in case you're wondering... my house is on the higher grounds so we didn't have anything to worry about. On the other hand Mak and Abah went to Satok early Monday morning and found out that the wet market is literally wet....

Seems like it got sunk in a couple inch of waters too. But as you can see its not as bad as the one in Batu Kawa since the sellers are still in 'business mode'. Well...kena cari makan loo...





She took these with her 5300. Hope things get better in a couple of days.












And that's all from the Chronicles News Network. Till next time.
See ya. ; )
