what a busy September to me..

It's been few weeks that I didn't write anything in my blog.. not that I am lazy.. this month is really a busy month for me..

Firstly, due to the merger process kicked off in my company.. so there are tons and tons of thing need to be sorted before the due date of the merger.. estimated will be by beginning of December, so within the next two months all the thing must sort out properly before hand over to the new management.. it is quite a tedious job especially the database migration and user testing process will need lot of time to investigate and finding solutions.. honestly, the process is not fun at all.. and lot of cooperation from users are required in order to make thing goes smooth.. appreciated their participation and patient..

Beside that I was away for a week for my Siem Reap trip in the middle of the month.. I can only use 'brilliant' to describe the beauty of Angkor.. the most impressive is the Bayon with all the four sides smiling face every corner of the temple.. of course the highlight is still Angkor Wat, getting a bit disappointed because the steps are closed and we are not allowed to climb up to the towels and renovation works seem going on there.. another disappointment was the raining days let us missed the sunrise and sunset from the temples.. but we do seen the beautiful reflection of Angkor Wat in the lake which turn up really beautiful especially in the raining morning..

There will be two days public holiday next week for Hari Raya.. so it seems like I have to keep rushing my work in the remaining days in September.. work hard in September and expecting a more relax October ahead.. haha!!

Babylon A.D.

Not really know about this movie.. but was quite bored last night so decided to go for this movie since got no much other choices.. I never seen the trailer of this movie and have no idea what is that really about.. but I guess from the title of the movie is something to about space and science fiction..

What I would like to say about the movie is 'BORED'!! firstly the movie is nothing to do with space.. it is a science fiction movie but it does not show much about science innovation and the whole movie is more about how the journey of sending Aurora to New York.. in fact, the journey doesn't seem so interesting as well.. it was a good beginning when Toorop picked up Aurora and Rebbecca and I expect more interesting and exciting stuffs will happen.. but its not really as what I have though..

One thing to highlight here is the role for Michelle Yeoh is much better then the one in 'The Mummy 3'.. at least the role here allows her to express more of her feeling about Aurora instead of just fighting.. I like her role as Rebbecca here..

Saw one of my gym friend after the movie.. he commended the movie is bored and he almost fall into sleep.. so we both will not recommend this movie to friends.. haha!!

is that TF pavilion that bad??

Lately I have seen someone posted a complain about his free trial tour in True Fitness Pavilion in his blog.. I am really interested to read the post because I am one of the TF member and most of the time I visit the one in pavilion.. and what I would like to say here are based on my own experiences so far in TF pavilion..

Firstly he is complaining the membership consultant, about his knowledge for the procedure of free trial and being not really flexible to make the potential customers happy.. What I want to say here is before I join TF in pavilion, back to somewhere in January this year, the consultant who gave us the De-tour in the gym is alright, he manage to explain the function and feature of some of the machines quite well and try his best to explain the agreement to make us understand, beside that we do have some extra requirements and he always trying his best to fulfill our requests.. so I have no complains for his services provided.. by the way he is no longer working in TF pavilion.. Anyway I do not know the level of professional of the current membership consultants there but honestly I can see that the turn over rate of the membership consultant is quite high and it could be possible that the services provided are getting worst than before.. but honestly some of the membership consultant are really young and I believe the level of professional in their job are to be judged.. or the leader of the consultant should work out some plans to train them in order to provide better services to potential and current members..

Another issue that he is complaining is the padlock.. I was really surprised that he is complaining about this and honestly I don't see this is the problem of the gym.. I bet we should check the facilities in a gym before we start the trial.. in TF there is no padlock provided (the lockers in FF are attached with locks..), and in TF (beside Hartamas) there is no towel provided.. it is common sense that we ask and find out first before we go.. and I am quite surprised that he doesn't have any friend who are current TF pavilion member or who been done the trial in TF pavilion before, a bit unbelievable right??

Honestly, I felt a bit annoying when I just started my gym in TF pavilion because I have to bring my own padlock and towel, and also no soft drink provided.. beside that I have make complains about the classes and instructors in the gym.. I do complains the air-con is too cold and so on.. so far, some of the complains have been slowly improved.. I can't really compared my previous gym to the current one because I believe there is always something good and bad in one gym.. the purpose of my post here is just to tell my experiences in TF pavilion so far.. I always believed we should go there and experience ourselves instead of getting feed backs from others..

HAPPY GYM!! STAY FIT!!

my new toy - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520

I have decided to get a new digital camera before my trip to Siem Reap.. didn't really go survey for the brand because I known what brand I wanna get.. just asked the price from two shops for comparison..

Finally I got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520 .. I heard few good feed backs from friends about their Panasonic Lumix camera and even the photos taken from their camera turn up nicely too.. even the fellow in the camera shop who I known her also recommend Panasonic Lumix because of the Leica Len used for the camera..

The package that I paid for the camera come with a 2G Panasonic card and a mini tripod (really mini size..), a year international warranty and two years local warranty from the shop.. I still haven't really have chance to play with the camera and snap some photos, because nothing special for me to snap.. but so far I am quite happy with the touch screen LCD feature which is cool..!!

Key Features:
- 3.0" Touch Screen LCD - Easy and Intuative operation
- 10.1 Megapixel Camera for high quality images
- Touch AF/AE & Auto Tracking - A Focus Frame Opens on the Spot you touch. If the subject touched on the LCD moves, the camera automatically tracks it and adjusts focus & exposure.

ikea.. after so long

My last visit to ikea was definitely more then a year ago.. the main reason is because it is far away from my house and secondly is no matter how time you go over the weekend sure have to line up to go into the car park.. sometime very irritating..

Friend asking me to go ikea with him yesterday, he wanna go to survey the latest design of the furniture's and interior for his new condo.. I bet most of us go there to steal the ideas instead of buying stuffs there, especially those big stuffs like cabinet and dining set..

We are there around 3pm and line up to enter the car park once we turn into the path from the main road.. it took us about 15 mins to enter the car park and the sky is so damn dark.. heavy rain is coming..

The first thing attracted me is the sofa cover that displayed.. it is the type of sofa that I am having now.. the cover is in black base which painted with tress, flowers, birds and so on.. the feeling is 'jungle'.. I am getting very excited and wanna get it for my sofa.. but it is sold out.. sien..!! I wanna get a bookcase because getting more books at home and my table is full of books, look so messy.. I manage to find one bookcase (the displayed item) which is not bad in term of space and price.. I would like to get the white one which is RM70 cheaper, again.. no stock!! so I have to pick the black brown color which cost me extra.. so sien.. beside that I get a small side table to put my hi-fi set.. I have attached by a rug, new product, the price is affordable, the size is just nice for my living hall and the color is nice too.. I get really confused should I buy it..?? asking my friend about his opinions, asking myself.. walking here and there.. ahhhhh.... but finally I bought it..

At last, my ikea trip caused me RM300+ for three items.. and my friend who suggested to go back with empty hands.. haha!! I bet after add in the three extra items at home, sure my home will look nicer, especially after the books been organised in the bookcase..
