Inventing My Own iPad Application for Maxis

Whoa ............u heard about the Apple iPad that was just launch recently in Malaysia a couple of weeks ago


Maxis is giving away 2 of it for free.................!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes absolutely free and its giving away the models with 3G

1) 1x 64GB iPad 3G + Maxis WiFi Modem >>>First Prize
2)1x 32GB iPad 3G + Maxis WiFi Modem>>>>Second Prize

But you gotta invent your own iPad Application for Maxis

So here is mine :

if i were gonna create a application , i would like to create an application that will create a hologram that enable us to make communication easier like the one in Star Wars .

Something like this but on top of an ipad

or here is another apps i have i mind

For this to work ,iPad would need a Camera Function which i am sure later models will surely have .

I would call this app " The Recipe Finder & Teacher "

1) First of all you need to take the picture of lets say a dish that u really like at some restaurant example apple pie down there .

Apple Pie ^^

Then u go open the app and open up the picture that u have just taken above .

2) After the picture has been taken , it will search for a few recipes to make the dish that you have just taken picture at and it will display the top 5 most famous recipes in an instant .

3) U can save the recipes as one of your favourites recipes .

4) Later if u want to use the recipe u coulds just open the recipe and learn it step by step

now here comes the best part , as you know baking usually have some failures like cake failed to rise or overburn in the oven with this app here you basically dont have to worried about those problems anymore

Burned Cake

5) AS i say this recipe has a step by step direction in order for you to perfecr your recipe no matter what you want to cook .

6) Example step 1 mix ingredients A and ingredient B together for 5 Minutes in Medium Speed .
So in this step here there u prepare ingredients A and B together and mix it and click "Activate" on the iPad and in the mixer . And this will activate a Countdown Timer for 5 Minutes .


7)After 5 Minutes , an alarm will sound (You can set your favourite music as your alarm)

8)Steps like this will continue until the recipes finishes and tada ...you have your apple pie (or watever your making) ready to eat

Hope i can win the iPad ^^

Despicable Me

Despicable Me

Watched this movie last week with a DVD bought at Tropicana City Mall DVD shop . This story is about a super-villain plans to steal the moon .

It starts off with a guy name Gru(Steve Carell) who heard that the pyramid is stolen and wants to steal the moon to make his the greatest super-villain in the century but when he adopted 3 girls orphan children for his evil plan , things started to change ...........

Overall this movie is not bad with a great storyline and it actually touches you right to the heart and with the "minions"(the yellow creature up there) that help Gru with all of his inventions to execute his evil plans . I am actually impress with Gru actually remembering all of the Minions names and are able to known which one is which because seriously there are just so many of them and the way they talk and react just really tickle your funny bone .

So , just go and buy this Dvd to add to your collection of your movies and it is definitely worth it till then see ya next time ciaozzu .

Blade

Blade

Days before there is Twilight or Vampire Diaries are the days of real scary vampire that bites people necks to satisfy their thirst for blood . This is about a movie of a vampire hybrid that protect us from vampire

Bought this 1998 movie at Speedy Atria ,Damansara Jaya a while back ago for only Rm7.90 that's real cheap for a DVD . This movie is actually loosely based on a Marvel comic book about a half vampire (human-vampire hybrid) that hunts down vampire to protect us humans .

It starts with a pregnant woman that is delivered to the hospital after bitten by a "wild animal"
delivered her baby then she "passed away"

Fast forward few years later , the baby is grown big already now he is known as Blade or Daywalker (Wesley Snipes) has all the strength of the vampire but none of its weakness hence the name daywalker but too bad he also inherited the vampire need for blood to satisfy their thirst (but he uses a special serum to control his thirst).

In this movie he need to stop Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) from awaking a vampire god La Magra and blade blood is one of the main ingredient to revive the vampire god .

Overall this movie is quite good with the special effect looks believable with lots of vampire hunting at the beginning although its 2 hours long but this definitely kept me entertain with nice action and cool special effects for a 1998 movie there is also a Blade 2 and Blade trinity but i cant seem to find it at a cheap price ,

Till then ciaozzu

Resident Evil Afterlife

Resident Evil :Afterlife

Alice is back ....no not Alice in Wonderland but Alice (Milla Jovovich) from Resident Evil series ....this time it is available in 2D and 3D and this is the fourth movie with the ending indication there will be another movie later .

At the beginning the story begins in Tokyo ,Japan with the T-virus spreading till over there ( i wonder when the virus will be spread here ?) and then Alice attacks the Umbrella HQ over there and end up losing all her powers .

Few months later , Alice is flying a plane and then found Claire(Ali Larter) from the 3rd movie and they travel back to Los Angeles to find survivors and then they found Claire brother Chris (Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame) .

To find out more , just go and watch it yourself buy the DVD

Overall the movie is pretty good with a lot of action especially if you watch it in 3D (which i did not do so) but i think that the show has too many slow motion scenes and it makes people think am i watching Matrix part 4 instead of Resident Evil part 4 but other than that its ok la

Lets hope that Resident Evil 5 would be out soon ^^
till then Ciaozzu

My Soul To Take Review

The day after STPM (16/12/2010), me , hong and keng hoe decided to go to one utama to buy Tickets to go up to Genting (I dint go genting coz of something going on) and dedided to watch Tron Legacy but seriously i though the movie was out the day before so end up watching "My Soul To Take" instead .

This slasher movie is about this guy named Abel Plankov who has this dissociative identity disorder who does not remember killing anyone when he "changes" identity known as the Riverton Ripper.This Ripper here is a serial kiler that killed 7 Teenagers in town. So when he tried to kill his whole family he was stopped by the police just as he was about to attack his daughther and he swore that he will be back to get them all . As they are on the way to the hospital ,Abel managed to escape .

Fast forward 16 years later ,where there are 7 16 year olds are born on the day that Riverton Ripper escaped is Dying one by one .This makes it obvious that the Riverton Ripper is back once again to get back what he earlier swore . This makes us wonder wheather he is back from the death , he did not die 16 years ago or he was death but came back as the reborn as one of the 7 Teenagers ?

Go find out by yourself by watching this Movie at Cinemas near you and this movie is only available in 2D here in Malaysia .

Bulletproof Monk

BulletProof Monk

Bought this DVD a few months back at Speedy Ikano Power Centre for only RM 8 starring Chow Yun-Fat , Sean William Scott and Jaime King.

This is one of Chow Yun-Fat Hollywood Movies others like Anna and the King and Dragonball Evolution . In this story he is the monk with no name protecting the scroll that once read out loud will be the world most powerful living being . In 1943 , he was assign to protect the scroll from his master and 60 years later(people who protect the scrool will never aged) , he meet a young man named Kar(Sean William Scott) who is pickpocket that is destined to be the next protector of the scroll after he fufilled the 3 prophecies .

This movie did not do well in the box office with average grossing less than the budget spent on it but overall this movie in my opinion is quite ok la with Chow Yun Fat in it i really like his god of gamblers so that is one of the reason i bought this DVD because there is him in it .

So go get it !!!!

till then ciaozu

Money No Enough 钱不够用

Money No Enough

Is money always enough for you ? it doesnt to me because money will make you wants more and more and there is not a limit on how much money u can own . This story will tell you that money is not everything there is still other things that is more important than money .

It is about 3 person Keong(Jack Neo)that is a white collar worker that is unable to get a job promotion because of a lack of computer literacy and a low qualification ends up heavily in debt when he quits his job,Ong(Mark Lee)who borrowed from a loan shark and ends up unable to pay him back and Hui(Henry Thia) that works in a cofee shop and wants to be rich .

At the end , they are all broke but they manage to open a car polishing workshop together and gets rich again with many branches opening and finally Ong and Hui ran out of money and ask Keong for money and Keong lends them money and end up penniless again .

This is a 12 year old movie written by Jack Neo but directed by Tay Teck Lock in 1998 and was singapore's highest grossing movie with over S$5.8 million and it remains as the highest grossing local movie in singapore till now .

And this DVD is available at all CD stores at less than RM10 ....and it seriously reflect ourself in our pursue for money and have a lot of humourous moments in this movie .

So this is a movie worth watching and just buy this DVD and watch it at home till then ciaozzu

Freedom !!!!!!!!!!!!!

STPM is finally over ....after 1 and a half year of form 6 ...well i gotta say its one of the most memorable part of school life one that i will always remember .

But somehow after one of my classmates Ken Lee mention that the feeling is not as happy as when we have finish our SPM 2 years ago.....well i guess he have a point because really the feeling is very diffrent compared to 2 years ago .....and it makes me wonder why ?

Why is it because we have matured from then ?

or
It is that we have more friends to share the joy with ?(STPM have real little candidates)
or
We have too much public examinations , that the feeling doesn even matter anymore

what is it ? how about you tell me

Well i just wanna say that i am very happy that i had just get over with one of the world most difficult exams just hope that i will get good results , if i failed i only can say that i have tried my best in all of the exams (hello....its one of the hardest exam on earth)

Lastly ....i would like to say that i will miss all of the form 6 no matter upper 6 or lower 6 ....just hope that we will meet again someday ^^

till the day we meet again ^^

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader or known as Narnia 3 is a film based on the novel of C.S .Lewis .

Went to watch this movie yesterday at Tropicana City Mall with my bro and to check out about the free paint that Seamaster is giving out (FAILED to get the paint) .

Back to the movie, in this movie Peter and Susan no longer return to the world of Narnia (although they do have cameo appearence) only Edmund and Lucy return to the world of narnia this time with their cousin Eustace (who does not believe in narnia)

This time , it is about King Caspian , Edmund , Lucy and Eustace in finding the 7 lost swords from the lords in order to find the lost people that had been use to sacrifice to the "mist"

The movie is rather fast pace and it does not get boring during the whole movie , full of adventures and nice graphics that looks very real with loads of good moral values to be learn like not be too greedy and appreciate what you have instead of always yearning for what you dont have and also some humorous moments .

Overall i give this movie a good thumbs-up and a 9/10 and you should really go and watch it no matter 2D or 3D . The movie is available from 2 December (3D) and 9 December (2D) screening nationwide (Malaysia is very early this time coz other countries open at 10 December) . Go Watch It !!!!!!

Run Papa Run 一个好爸爸

Watch this movie on dvd yesterday and bought it at Tropicana City Mall Carrefour that sell it for only RM8 a couple of weeks back and yes its original and a dvd .

This story is about Lee Tin Yun (Louis Koo/古天乐）who is a triad boss falls in love with a aspiring lawyer Mabel(Rene Liu/刘若英） at first sight .And soon Mabel was pregnant with Tin Yun Baby .

When their baby is born Tin Yun is force to married Mabel and they name their baby daughter Hei-Yi (喜儿）and Tin Yun is determine to never let her daughter know that his father is actually a triad boss but as Hei Yi becomes older , Tin Yun realized that this secret cannot be kept forever .

This is really a touching story that prove that fatherhood can actually changes a man from a triad boss to a loving father and husband as they try to keep Hei Yi from knowing a thing about a his father real job from wearing appropriately (suit , tie etc etc) , no bad words and changing a tiger tatoo to a cute tatoo .

You should really watch this movie and be touched by it especially if you are a Louis Koo fan as this movie show how his character evolve all this years especially during his fatherhood years

The Social Network

This is a story of how facebook was actually created and this movie was just released in cinema a couple of days ago (december 2).

Some say that this is the movie of the year but for me , i dont think so because in my opinion it is kinda BORING!!!!.

Spoiler Alert !!!

Story is about Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg)about the idea of facebook that actually does not come from him and facebook was actually another person idea and it is called "Harvard Connection"

Mark stole the idea but did not use the codes of Harvard Connection to create Facebook and it become an instant hit within the harvard community and it became so famous that the person that come out with the idea went to sue him in court .

This movie was actually at the time where the "sue-ing process" starts with a lot of flashbacks about how this and how that happen and finally the outcome is the facebook that we all know today .

The truth of this story is unknown because the Real Mark Zuckerberg call it "fiction" and does not allow any form of advertistment about the movie in facebook .

If u really likes movies with a lot of flashbacks u can go watch the show but if u dont i suggest u dont go

till then ciaozzu

Keep Your imagination Wide

It seems that i have nothing to do at home but to update my blog ..so here's an update

Was very boring today , so i watch a dvd at home

which is " Bridge To Terabithia "



bought this dvd few moths back at Speedy at only RM8 (yes original and its DVD ) ...they are clearing stocks i think since this is not a new movie

Why i like watching DVD ?
Who Doesn want to watch DVD/TV when u have a 42 inch plasma tv at home

This story is about 2 kids above....Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON) and Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB) who are from completely diffrent background that become friends and they create a imagination world which is what they call" Terabithia "

This movie is a 2007 movie that i think is a very touching movie and teaches us a lot about friendship which is we can make friends regardless of our family background ...you should really go watch it if u haven watch it .

Recommended watching with frens (gf/bf) pun
