New.York.City

Alhamdullillah, sampai jugak aku di bumi Hoboken, New Jersey ini dengan selamat... Flight amatlah panjang.. dalam 20 jam lebih... Berjaya jugak ak melepasi US Customs and Border Control tanpa sebarang kejadian yang tidak diingini.. Tapi, serunding yang dibawa untuk beraya telahpun dirampas.. Shit giler... Apa la salah serunding tue. Kepada sesiapa yang nak datang USA, takyahla nak bawak makanan, kalau nak bawak pown, jangan declare. Aku nie jujur sangat, tue yang kene rampas. Kalu orang tanya bawak aper, cakap jer bawak spices ker, instant noodle ker.... Diorang tak kesah sangat, melainkan daging beef.

Sampai kat Hoboken, masanya adalah pagi.. Tips, kepada sesiapa yang ingin menaiki kapal terbang untuk ke mana2 sahaja, sentiasa ambil tahu waktu tempatan di destinasi, supaya anda tidak akan mengalami jet lag.. Plan tidur korang, especially yang ingin pergi ke tempat yang waktunya jauh beza dengan Malaysia. Nasib baik aku dapat tidur time flight, so takdela aku rasa sangat jetlag.

Beberapa hari yang lepas, kami pergi ke Time Square , New York. New Yok City amatlah dekat dengan Hoboken, dalam 10-15 minit perjalanan menaiki tren. Kami nek dari Hoboken dan turun di 33rd Street... Layanlah dulu pic nih

Inilah student2 Malaysia yang merayau-rayau di New York..hahahaha... Ada tiga orang senior yang guide kitorang time nih..

Nie ada sorang mamat yang buat break dance kat tengah2 bandar... Best jugak la..

M&M!!! Memang best.. 3 tingkat tempat membeli belah yang dikhususkan untuk M&M.... Yang warna-warni tue adalah cokelat.... ameklah sebanyak maner, tapi jangan lupa lak nak bayar..hahahaha

Time berjalan2, ternampak pulak naked cowboy nih...hahaha.. Lelaki nih...hehe

Tempat jual air, bersebelahan dengan tempat jual nasi beriyani(kowt) yang sedap di New York City.. Saper kata kat US takder nasi beriyani.... Sedap kowt.. macam kat Malaysia

Nie la kedai menjual nasi yang dimaksudkan... Terletak di 53rd & 6....Sesiapa yang berpeluang pergi ke NYC jangan lupa lak nak pergi tempat nih!! Serius berbaloi!!

Nengok, mat saleh pown join jugak makan nasi..haha

Trump Tower, kat maner ntah...Open to public kowt.....tak nampak pulak Donald Trump tuh..haha

Louis Vuitton....Ada sesaper yang nak tempah??hahahaha

Singgah sembahyang di sebuah masjid di manhattan...Diorang siap ajak berbuka lagi, tetapi memandangkan kitorang sumer da bawak makanan, tak jadi lah nak berbuka dengan diorang...

Apple Store!!!

hahahahah....Walaupun aku tak berapa suka sangat dengan Apple, tapi kedai Apple Store kat NYC nie memang best!!!

Penuh dengan orang.... Sempat jugak la try iPhone 4 ngan iPad kat sini.....tunggu nak beli iPod Touch 4th Gen lak..hehehe

Berbuka di sebelah Apple Store tue... ada tempat duduk kat situ, so kitorang berenti kejap untuk makan berbuka... Nie la nasi yang dibeli di kedai yang dimaksudkan sebelum nie.... Ada daging, ayam, sayur ngan pita..... sekali ngan mayonis ngan ketchup..

Time nak balik....Complex giler New York punyer subway system....ada kawan yang da pegi banyak kali pown still tak paham diorang punyer system...Banyak sangat tren, and setiap tren pergi tempat yang lain2... Lepas nek tren, kitorang nek bas pulak untuk balik ke Hoboken....

Walaupun penat, agak berbaloi jugak la visit nie....hahaha.. Apa yang best, dier punyer public transport murah giler, tren dier fixed price. Nak pergi mana2 pown harga yang samer.... So, kitorang agak untung la jugak...time kitorang balek tue da agak malam da... So, terus bedal makan kat dining hall lak.. Memang makin gemuk la aku duduk sini.. Hari2 makan pizza, burger, minum air gas....*sigh*

The Lost Symbol

Unfathomable power of the Lost Word, puzzling symbolon, and dazzling architectural history of the Washington D.C. This is unmistakably one of the most stunning Robert Langdon story, apart from the police-chase in Paris and the deadly race in Italy. Though many readers think that this book is a typical Dan Brown style, but for me it’s still not too disappointing.

For those who hasn’t read Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, they surely have to read this. This book’s full of information, that most of you may not know about. The main plot is about unraveling secret hidden in the Masonic Pyramid that has been protected through generations.

The story started when Robert Langdon was invited to give a speech on history in Washington D.C. Then, he unexpectedly received a phone call from a mysterious man, claiming that he had captured Robert’s mentor, Peter Solomon. In order to save his mentor, and also his friend, Robert have to solve the mysteries that hides within The Pyramid.

Similar to Angels and Demons, The Lost Symbol also unveils another mind-blowing science research, the Noetic Science. Noetic Science is a study associated with requiring the use of mind to do impossible task, or simply mind over matter. It may sounds ridiculous and utterly impossible, but the breakthrough will be astonishing and it’ll change the way we see the world.

In all, the book clarify that religion is, in fact connected to the science. Almost everything that we had achieved today is actually linked to the ancient discoveries. The astonishing fact in this book may open our mind to look into our own history. We won’t be what we are today of it weren’t for the past.

Appreciate what we have today, be grateful and live our life to the fullest. Always be curious, it’ll guide us to the infinite knowledge, waiting to be discovered. I would like to quote from the famous Encyclopedia of Secret Teaching of All Ages, from an ancient philosopher:

"He who has not even a knowledge of common things is a brute among men. He who has an accurate knowledge of human concerns alone is a man among brutes. But he who knows all that can be known by intellectual energy, is a God among men."

Last post for July – The Host

     Body my house

     my horse my hound

     what will I do

     when you are fallen

     where will I sleep

     How will I ride

     What will I hunt

    Where can I go

     without my mount

     all eager and quick

     how will I know

     in thickest ahead

     is danger or treasure

     When Body my good

     bright dog is dead

     How will it be

     to lie in the sky

     without roof or door

     and wind for an eye

     with cloud for a shift

     how will I hide?

Buku nie aku beli dengan harapan nak baca time cuti panjang tahun lepas, tapi tak habis-habis lagi baca. Baru semalam habis baca... da 8 bulan da... Bukan sebab aper, just busy, maklumlah da start sem yang busy. Anyway, citer nie memang best, walaupun agak bosan pada pertengahan cerita.
Jangan risau, part nak dekat last2 memang best!! x taw pulak cerita nie sangat romantik.. haha.. mula2 ingat mcm cerita biasa jer, tapi serious romantic... mungkin apa yang menyebabkan cerita nie best adalah gaya penulisan Stephenie Meyer.... saper yang tak kenal dia, penulis The Twilight Saga.. Ada jugak rumor di internet yang cerita The Host ini mungkin jugak akan difilemkan. Owh... Mungkin nanti boleh jadi bosan, macam cerita Twilight Saga(sorry kepada fans).

"It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the things you do with it. You are beautiful"

"I, the soul named Wanderer, love you, human Ian and that will never change no matter what I might become. If I were a Dolphin or a Bear or a Flower, it wouldn't matter. I would always love you, always remember you. You will be my only partner."

Trust me, it’s worth reading this book, especially for those who seek for a romantic novel. Don’t hesitate to buy!! hahaha You might as well enjoy this video clip, a song by Biffy Clyro, Mountains. It’s a good song!!
oh. BTW, the above poem is Question by May Swenson.

“…I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you.

Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you…

…Nothing lasts forever, except you and me…

…Love will last forever, between you and me…”

Knight and Day

The story’s pretty awesome, the storyline’s good, and what’s next.. haha… The movie was pretty much straight at the beginning. They,Tom Cruise (Roy Miller) and  Cameron Diaz (June) met at an airport in Wichita. Both of them were going to the same place, and they were on the same plane. The fun part started when Miller kill everyone in the plane, including the pilot, and June thought that was a joke, or a pickup line. But, when she knows the truth, everything became upside down. Somehow, Miller stays cool throughout the crisis, and he finally managed to save her, and drug her all the way to her home.

He left sticky notes all over her house to remind her on all things that she should do afterward. However, she’s accidentally caught by a bunch of federal agents that claim Miller as a rouge agent. Again, Miller had to save her, and it was awesome. All the car chase and the gunfight never bores me, though it seems typical on Hollywood movie. Maybe it’s because of Miller. His ‘coolness’ really caught my attention.

I guess I’ll tell you until the part where Miller’s conversation with one of the buyer was overheard by June. After that, she started to feel that Miller was the bad guy. Well, you can watch the rest of the movie. I guaranty that you’ll be satisfied by this movie. Go watch it at cinema, or buy a DVD or even download a copy of it from the internet.

Overall, the movie was not so ‘WOW’, but it’s still ‘ROCKS’. One thing for sure, sound system in MBO Cinema Kluang Parade was a total sucks. I wish I’d brought my headphones together. What were they thinking?! We were not deaf! I’m not an audiophile, but I certainly confidence that I can set the sound better better than anyone that control it there. Shit, I’ll surely ban that cinema!

p/s: I watched this movie just a few days after I watched The A-Team (rated 7.5/10 by IMDB) at Big Cinemas, Kluang. You DEFINITELY must watch it!! 

 

“There is no plan B”…..Hell yesss!!

Nebula Blitz and Shin Musha

Pada beberapa minggu lepas, aku telah berjaya membeli sebuah gundam, 1/100 Nebula Blitz di Sunway Pyramid... Boleh tahan law jugak ar... Korang judge la sendri berdasarkan gambar kat bawah nie...

Next few weeks nyer, ak beli lagi satu gundam.... 1/100 MG Shin Musha.. FYI, MG itu merujuk kepada Master Grade... sebenarnya ak pown confuse maner satu yang lagi bagus antara High Grade (HG) ngan Master Grade (MG)... kepada sesaper yang tahu boleh lar tinggalkan komen kat bawah nie... tapi kalu tak silap, Perfect Grade (PG) adalah antara yang paling tinggi skali.... Mungkin ader yang lebih tinggi lagi kowt...

Anyway, layan dulu pictures kat bawah nie

Yang kat sebelah kiri tuh Shin Musha, yang sebelah kanan tue Nebula Blitz, ataupon Nebra Blitz mengikut sesetengah website

Macro shot ini diambil oleh my friend, Shaun dengan kamera bridge Fujifilm aper ntah..... Boleh tahan jugak kowt, walaupun hanya kamera bridge

This is Shin Musha, a samurai-like gundam.... Memang agak payah jugak nak pasang bender nih, tapi berbaloi jugak lar last skali

Again, macro shot....

Nebula Blitz... yang nie macam senang sikit nak gerakkan... flexible sikit dari Shin Musha, tapi x berapa lawa lar..... kalu nak judge berdasarkan complexity....

Another close-up shot of Shin Musha.....

Sori kerana background yang kurang menarik.... Gambar2 nie hanya berlatar-belakangkan bilik yang sangat buruk...hahahah.....

p/s: Biler lar nak merasa pakai DSLR nih....*huhu*
