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

My Idea for this Contest

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 .
