Gunung Berapi Kerinci, Kerisik Tuo Indonesia
(Part 5/5 - photo heavy)

Sampai di Padang lebih kurang subuh dan selepas solat subuh kami pergi makan pagi dan beli sedikit lagi cenderahati sebelum berangkat pulang. Kami menaiki flight di lapangan terbang minangkabau padang indonesia pukul 8.40 pagi dan sampai di LCCT Malaysia pukul 10.40 pagi. Setelah bergambar sedikit lagi dan salam menyalam suma berangkat pulang ke destinasi masing-masing.. Aku menunggu flight ke penang pukul 1.35 tengahari dan sampai di penang pukul 2.45 petang. Family aku datang ambil aku di airport kerana kebetulan diorang datang nak berjalan-jalan di Penang. Kemudian siap semua bergerak pulang ke rumah.

                Kesimpulannya ni first trip aku di luar negara dan aku amat berpuas hati dengan segalanya.. guide yang peramah, makan yang sedap dan kawan2 yang sempoi. Mendaki gunung di Indonesia adalah berlainan dengan di malaysia dari segi pakej yang disediakan dan view yang menanti.. Aku akan kembali lagi di Indonesia untuk next trip.. InsyaAllah. J

Gunung Berapi Kerinci, Kerisik Tuo Indonesia

1 September 2012

                Kami bangun pagi dalam keadaan ceria dan kelenguhan. Setelah siap makan pagi dan guide telah tiba, kami bergerak ke gunung danau 7 lebih kurang pukul 9 pagi. Hari ini trekking adalah free body di mana Cuma perlu bawa air dan jajan je. Sewaktu di tapak permulaan pendakian, guide register dahulu dan memohon permit sementara kami bergambar dengan budak sekolah rendah yang berada di situ. 

Kami mula mendaki lebih kurang pukul 10 pagi dan melalui kebun-kebun sayur penduduk tempatan. Guide menceritakan kepada kami perbezaan kentang elok dan kentang yang dah x elok. Sepanjang perjalanan mendaki kami berehat dan berborak-borak sambil menyanyi untuk mengisi masa lapang. Kami sampai di Danau 7 lebih kurang pukul 1.30 petang. Berehat-rehat sambil ambil gambar kawasan tasik danau 7 ini. Danau 7 ini merupakan tasik hasil daripada letupan kawah gunung berapi yang terjadi suatu masa yang lalu dan sudah tidak aktif dan merupakan tasik yang tertinggi di Asia tenggara. Tasik ini juga amat luas dan tenang je..aku terfikir apa la yang ada dalam tasik ini..agak2 ada x raksasa J..

 Kami makan tengahari di sini dan bergerak pulang pukul 3 petang.Sampai di tapak permulaan, kami menaiki van dan bergerak ke Homestay Family kembali.sesampai di Homestay kami mandi dan kemas barang kerana akan berangkat ke Padang pada malam ini juga. Selepas maghrib, kami berangkat ke padang dan semasa dalam perjalanan kami singgah beli sedikit cenderahati dan makan nasi padang.aku xtau kenapa aku mmg makan bnyak nasi di sini kerana lapar..

On the way ke padang aku memang sekejap sedar sekejap lena..aku kesian dekat guide kerana dah la dia trekking bersama kami di siang harinye, malam terpaksa drive van pulak ke padang yang jaraknya jauh.

Gunung Berapi Kerinci, Kerisik Tuo Indonesia

31 August 2012

                Kami memulakan pendakian dari shelter 2 pukul 3.30 pagi seramai 6 peserta dan 2 guide sahaja..seorang lagi peserta tidak mendaki kerana sudah kepenatan. Trek ke puncak lebih curam dan mula nampak pokok2 bonzai. Kami sampai di shelter 3 lebih kurang pukul 6 pagi. Kesejukan masa treking mmg terasa sehinggakan aku memakai 3 lapis baju (t-shirt,sweater dan baju hujan givi) begitu juga dengan seluar terpaksa pakai 2 lapis dan penutup kepala serta sarung tangan. Tetapi masih terasa kesejukannya sehingga tangan aku ni x terasa apa dah sebab sejuk sangat. Di shelter 3 kawasan campsite dia agak luas dan aku x boleh bayangkan klu bermalam di sini J sejukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Shelter 3 campsite: note ada khemah disitu..

                Sesudah berehat sebentar kami meneruskan perjalanan ke puncak.. Rehat solat subuh sekejap dan mendaki balik..selepas shelter 3 ..trek dah boleh nampak puncak dan pokok pun dah xde walaupun pokok kecil2..yang ada hanyala batu batu dan gaung. Kesejukan makin terasa dan oksigen semakin berkurangan. Aku terpaksa mendaki perlahan-lahan..Hidung pulak asyik berhingus mgkin sbb kabus atau selsema yang aku alami sehari sebelum datang ke sini. Kami berselisih dengan 2 warga germany yang juga menaiki puncak dan melalui satu kawasan kubur pendaki sebanyak tujuh kubur. Perjalanan dari shelter 3 ke puncak memakan masa 3 jam padahal dah nampak puncak macam dekat je..walhal jauh lagi. Kami sampai di puncak pukul 8 pagi.hajat mula2 nak tengok sunrise tetapi tgk sunrise masa dlm perjalanan je la J.

Aku di puncak!!!

punca bau sulfur..dari kawah di puncak

                Sesampai di puncak selain sejuk sangat..angin pula bertiup dengan kuat sekali..bergoyang-goyang kami dibuatnya. Tetapi view di puncak kerinchi MasyaAllah cukup indah dan lain dari yang lain..Kami nampak 360 view sekeliling saujana mata memandang. Selain kami melihat kawah puncak kerinchi..Aku x boleh tngk lama2 kawah puncak kerinchi sebab gayat sangat.. Akhirnya cita2 kami untuk menyambut merdeka di puncak kerinchi tercapai juga.. kami bergambar dan siap menyannyi lagu Negaraku

dan makan2 ckit then bergerak untuk turun. Aku x tahan sejuk di sini walaupun dah prepare dari segi pakaiannya..atas puncak kerinchi jugak ada bau2 sulfur yang sedikit sebanyak membuatkan pernafasan kurang selesa selain mata menjadi merah. Dari puncak kerinchi juga nampak kawasan perkhemahan shelter 3 dan shelter 2 selain nampak gunung danau 7 dan tasiknya yang akan kami pergi pada keesokan harinya.Kami bergerak turun dalam 40 minit kemudian..  

Danau 7 dari puncak... next agenda!!

 Trek menurun dari puncak kerinchi terasa best sebab x memerlukan bnyk tenaga untuk bergerak selain angin yang bertiup kurang.  Kami sampai di shelter 3 lebih kurang pukul 10 pagi. Bergambar seketika dan meneruskan perjalanan ke shelter 2. Sesampai di Shelter 2 dalam pukul 11 pagi. Berehat-rehat sambil tunggu makan tengahari dan packing barang. Pukul 1.30 petang kami berangkat turun ke bawah. Perjalanan turun terasa tidak letih kerana menurun je treknye. Sampai di shelter 1 lebih kurang pukul 2.30 petang, berehat sekejap sebelum meneruskan perjalanan.. 

Aku terserempak dengan seorang kawan yang pernah mendaki bersama-sama di Yong Yap dahulu, dia dalam perjalanan mendaki ke puncak..x sangka akan berselisih dengan orang malaysia juga di gunung kerinchi J. Kami sampai di tapak gunung kerinchi pukul 5.30 petang. Hujan turun semasa tengah melepak tunggu van dan terpaksa pindah ke pondok yang berdekatan. Suma peserta muka keletihan dan berpuas hati. Sampai di Homestay Family, Mandi dan makan malam sambil borak2 sampai tengah malam.

Part 2: Gunung Berapi Kerinci, Kerisik Tuo Indonesia

30 august 2012

                Sementara menunggu guide siap packing barang yang hendak dibawa..kami bergambar depan homestay kerana kelihatan puncak gunung kerinchi dari kejauhan. 

Puncak Gunung Kerinchi dari Homestay.. our target!!

 Kami bertolak dari homestay untuk mendaki pada pukul 9 pagi dengan menaiki van.dalam perjalanan kami melalui ladang teh yang luas saujana mata memandang dan melihat penduduk sini bercucuk tanam banyak jenis sayur-sayuran yang segar bugar. 

Kami memulakan pendakian pada pukul 10 pagi. Semasa pendakian kami berhenti berehat di pos1,pos 2 dan pos 3 sebelum sampai ke Shelter 1 pada pukul 12.30 tengahari dan berhenti untuk makan tenghari..wow satu pengalaman baru bagi aku sepanjang menaiki gunung kerana di sini guide telahpun memasak dan bungkus makanan tengahari di dalam tupperware yang cantik.

 Siap amik gambar lagi tuperware tu J.

tupperware lawa!!!

 Setelah kenyang kami meneruskan pendakian ke next target iaitu shelter 2. Ketika hampir dengan shelter 2 hujan turun yang mana memaksa kami memakai baju hujan..aku pulak boleh lupa tinggalkan baju hujan di beg yang dibawa oleh geng porter..aiseh..nasib baik la ada jaket givi yg aku pakai sbb sejuk. Kami sampai di shelter 2 pukul 5.30 petang dalam keaadaan hujan dan di ketinggian 3000 meter. Bayangkan terpaksa lepak dalam hujan kerana khemah belum sampai lagi sambil menahan kesejukan..mengigil aku dibuatnya. 

On the way

Walaupun di ketinggian 3000 meter tetapi pokok2 di sini masih lagi besar2 dan berlainan sekali dengan gunung2 di Malaysia. Hampir 6.30 petang khemah pun sampai dan terus pasang khemah..kami telah mengambil keputusan untuk bermalam di shelter 2 kerana perjalanan ke shelter 3 agak jauh dan lagipun masih ada ahli kumpulan yang belum sampai ke shelter 2 ini. 

Walaupun khemah telah siap dipasang aku masih tidak boleh menyalin pakaian kerana beg aku dibawa oleh pani ( aku bawak beg budak lain) jadi aku terpaksa duduk dalam keadaan basah dan menggigil. Lebih kurang pukul 8.30 malam pani sampai dan akhirnya aku dapat jugak menyalin baju ke baju kering..cuaca xyah  cakap la sejuk giler walaupun duduk dalam khemah. Aku respek guide sini sebab semasa kami duduk lepak dalam khemah. Diorang telah masak air dan buat air dan menghantar hingga ke dalam khemah kami.

                Kira kami x perlu keluar khemah pun. Pastu makanan pun sama setelah diorang siap masak, diorang letak dalam tupperware dan hantar ke dalam khemah yang kami duduk siap dengan sudu, sedap pulak tu, dan bila sudah siap makan diorang datang ke khemah kami untuk mengambil bekas tupperware itu kembali dan bagi air.. memag layanan cukup best J. Apabila perut sudahpun kenyang kami pun melelapkan mata kerana pukul 3 pagi terpaksa bangun untuk trekking ke puncak gunung kerinchi.

Sepanjang perjalanan, kami melalui danau berkembar dan jalan di lereng bukit kerana kerisik tuo terletak lebih dari seribu meter dari paras laut.

Senarai kamera speedtrap di Highway (Musim raya 2012)

(dari Mr Google)

Seperti biasa setiap tahun, kamera speed trap akan menjadi igauan (baik atau buruk terserah pada pemandu) pemandu jalan raya di Malaysia.

So tahun ini dengan inisiatif yang baru, PDRM akan guna sistem yang automatik pulak, so tahun ni takpayah la lagi kita nak tengok anggota polis di hotspot speed trap sebab sistem yang digunapakai is fully automatik, dari apa yg kawan-kawan cakap.. even malam pun boleh beroperasi... (ada sesapa boleh sah kan?)

So banyak la yg akan updatekan GPS (Garmin/Papago etc) untuk updatekan hotspot ni kedalam GPS untuk bagi warning bila approach hotspot nih...

bagi yang takde GPS, kena la print senarai kat bawah nih dan lekat kat cermin kereta sebagai reference..

PLUS Arah Utara
■Under a bridge at about 456km, Sg Buloh junction.
■Under a bridge at about 459km, Bukit Lanjan interchange.
■Under the overhead restaurant at Sg Buloh.
■Under the last bridge before Sg Besi toll at 309.2km.
■Under the bridge at 296.5km, Bangi junction.

Wordless Wednesday - Toyota vios Bodykit.... yg mana ek?

Yang mana satu?

bermula satu "kesakitan"..

Pada akhir bulan 4, aku balik dari satu course di Shah Alam (1 week course), sesampai kat rumah rasa tak selesa belakang dan berpanjangan sampai 1 minggu.. so aku p la ke klinik panel company aku untuk check. Doc diagnose as muscle cramp kat belakang... so dia bagi painkiller and patch to tampal kat tempat sakit tu.

ok sekejap untuk 5 hari , lepas tu sakit lagi still di belakang tapi at another location... bawah sikit... so sekali lagi p ke klinik panel yg sama (sebab dah ada history yang sebelum tu) sama jugak diagnose nya... more painkiller (which i never consumed) and ubat otot.

lepas tu still afe more session to the doc sakit belakang tapi at different location..

the apex of the kesakitan adalah pada tanggal May 25, 2012 (friday).
- feel uneasy + pain dekat pinggang
- menjalar ke bawah paha dan lutut.
- dan berakhir di atas betis..

waktu sembahyang jumaat memang dah tak concentrate kat khutbah sebab dok melawan sakit yg amat sangat. Duduk bersila tak selesa, dulu melunjurkan kaki tak boleh, duduk sila panggung tak membantu..

Waktu berdiri untuk mengejakan sembahyang Jumaat, kaki terasa bagai nak tercabut dari soket.. memang masa berdiri tu cuma sebelah kaki aje yang support.. amat memeritkan...

lepas sembahyang jumaat, 3 jam sebelum masa untuk balik.. memang menyiksakan, aku dah tak boleh meluruskan kaki kiri. Setiap langkah seperti berjalan atas bara api, dan satu kerja un tak jadi nak buat sebab fikiran memang dah terfokus kat kaki yang sakit tu.

masa balik nasib baik still boleh drive sendiri walaupun kereta aku kereta manual..

--bersambung--

Tukar tajuk blog kejap....

Apa yang saya xsperience starting from May 26, 2012 menyebabkan tajuk blog  terpaksa ditukar.. dari "KEJADIAN" ke "KESAKITAN"...

sekarag dah getting better.... so as to share the experience.. nanti saya akan blogkan experience tu... dengan MC yang hampir melebihi limit dan the extensive fisio... memang patutu aku update blog log ni jadi "KESAKITAN"

nanti saya ceritakan lagi...

Windows 7 XP Mode Losses password

Just thought i share yet another tips i experience and solved it with the help of mr google..

I setup a Windows & Pro PC and trying to use the Windows Virtual PC everything went on smoothly except for thatafter i install SQL Server 7.0 in Windows XP Mode, the XP Mode asked for a password for user XPMUser whereas i never specified any password before.

After some searching i found the solution from  another forum...

Sugar can make you dumb...

This is interesting...

saw this on the front page of THE SUN newspaper this morning..
research (on rats) shows that eating too much sugar can reduce your brainpower but adding an omega-3 fatty acids (from fresh sardines [not those in the can sardine that we used to have here], salmon, flax seeds & walnuts) can help reduce the damage. Again as conducted on lab rats...

read the full article below as per scanned from todays (May 17, 2012) The Sun newspaper.

Klinik yang tak tepati masa..

Waktu buka:
"Malam: 8:00pm ~ 10pm"

So aku pun mai la jam 8:00pm (sebab takut mai lambat orang ramai la pulak), ada la 3 orang yang dok tunggu nak jumpa doc.. lepas register aku lepak kat waiting-bench.. tunggu punya tunggu... jam dah jam 9:15pm... orang ramai dah mencecah 20 orang.. tapi doc. pangkal rambut pun tak nampak lagi.. bila tanya kat kaunter dia kata doc OTW..  dah lebih 1jam 15 minit aku tunggu OTW lagi.. baik jangan buka klinik camni..

ada makcik sorang tu kata... kalau nak mati memang dah mati pun sebab tunggu.

So jam memcecah jam 9:30pm, aku berangkat keluar dengan rasa tak puas hati.. aku p ke klinik lain. Ntah jam brapa la doc tu sampai... bayangkan masa jam 9:30 org dah ada 20 org patients, sempat ka dalam 30 minit nak check semua!!

baik waktu buka kat pintu tu ditukar ke

" Waktu Buka:
Malam: bila time doc. mai ~ jam 10:00pm"

baru la tak baran sangat!!.

klinik tu ubatnya memang ok and doc. yang bertugas memang baik and check betul-betul.. tapi tang bab punctualiti ni yang sangat menghairankan...

ikut cakap kawan aku.. mmg itu la modus-operandi klinik tu pada waktu malam... pelik pelik..

Pendrive files and folders changed to shortcut

A few of my collegue experiencing this before with their pendrive where all the files and fodlers in the pendrive became a list of shortcut that leads to nowherere. This a virus that actually hide all the files and folders and create a shortcut instead. I'm not too sure what its called but it has resulted in a few people having to re-type their assignments and term papers.

Some shop (that my friend send the pendrive to have it checked) resorted to a rather nasty way to remove it via formating thus resulted in the lost of all the files in the pendrive. Upon a quick search in the internet, we can easily recover the files and eliminating the shortcut files from the pendrive.

One such link is this page, fix-external-flash-drive-files-changed-to-shortcuts-virus, a very nice and step by step way to recover the file.

basically you need to go to Command Prompt (the black screen) via START - RUN - type "cmd"

and on the screen just type the following and refering it to your pendrive drive, in my example the pendrive is drive J:

the command will be as follows:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d j:*.*
press ENTER

give it a few seconds to execute and then walla... you'll see all your files in the pendrive again.

pretty sweet and sure beats reformating the pendrive

Using ampersand (&) in MS Access

I've been tinkering with MS Access programming for years but i often find it annoying that a label in MS Access (at least in Access 2003 and below) we cannot use the (& - ampersand) straight away. A simple task really but if you dont know how to do it, it becomes very trivial, isnt it?

If you use the (&) straight away, you'll end-up with an underscore on the word after the (&) for example; &Update would resulted in Update a shortcut to Alt+U.

So just thought i share (although it should be a very fundamental know-how for every system developer) we can use && straight away to show the "&" in our label.

An example; you wanted to show M&U so you should type M&&U (noted the double &), else if you just type M&U you would have MU instead (noted the underline "U")

a simple thing really, just thought i share it...

eh today is suppose to be a "Wordless Wednesday"!!!

Gempa bumi di Carrefour Seberang Jaya...

ok.. this is late... should be out yesterday evening.. but there was a thunderstorm near my area last night and i didnt dare to use my PC for update...

I was at Carrefour prai at around 3:30pm entertaining the kids on the playground near the food court there, so all of them with their cousin (total 5 of them) were enjoying themselves.

At around 4:30pm, i felt dizzy and felt the floor below me moving, and i looked at the water inside the mineral bottle is tilting... and everyone is screaming...."gempa bumi....gempa bumi...!!!"

so i pickup all my kids and put them in a shopping trolley and join the crowd down the stairs to the parking lot..

Good thing that i didnt take the escalator since those escalator have this groove that prevent the trolley from moving down.... so i'm not stuck there... a few other stuck there for a long time...

After we're well away from the area... i notice that.. no one actually using the EMERGENCY EXIT (including me) which located just beside the playground... maybe all are panic and simply thinking to use the way they come in the store (me included..again).

I think the store also need to advise the public to utilize the emergency exit, i do heard the announcement to evacuate the building.. but they didnt mentioned anything about the emergency exit. If its a major quake.. i think those people on the escalator would have a different story to tell yesterday.

So all the shops close early except for those handphone kiosk, since during the evacuation.. they're busy securing their Galaxy Tab, Galaxy notes and Iphone's from the glass display....

a good experience (i an indirect way, since i dont think i ever felt a quake this big before).. even my daughters also asking about the quake now and really interested to know how it happens... so being a good daddy, i need to explain them later today .....

..featuring Titanic in SUPER 3D...

.. nowadays it seems that every movie will have a 3D effect.... so the movie TITANIC also need to jump in the bandwagon with its latest offering.... TITANIC in SUPER 3D...

featuring the touch of renowned director.. JJ Abrams & Micheal Bay...

see the trailer below....



p/s: i cant stop laughing at this.... its not an insult to the movie Titanic.. but i think its logical if the remake of the movie rest on the shoulder of director JJ Abrams and Micheal Bay....

watch it and you'll see what i mean... :o)

April 10... a Century ago... a great ship set sail....

today.. a ship called RMS Titanic set for its maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from Southampton, England to New York City with a total passengers and crews of 2,224 people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Titanic

....


p/s: i was waiting to post this for over a century (well i might be a bit exaggerated) but always wanted to commemorate this date ever since i started building (now completed-here) my RMS Titanic model. So hopefully this very short post served my purpose.. and i should have posted this early in the morning.. but again responsibility gets in the way of posting... so this should suffice.. ;o)

Great scale model base idea...

was browsing the web for some inspiration to start my new build (torn between a Merkava 2 or Magach 6 tank) i stumble upon this base idea...

its the combination of a completed and the base of the kit complete with the cutting board underneath (the blue base).. this actually will highlight the changes being made to the kit before we can call it complete.

unique and you only have to paint half of the model :p

I for one have tried using a few things as base including a cutting board, photo-frame, cardboard etc.. and maybe one of these days i'll try the above.... :)

while i'm thinking which tank to build next... need to wrap-up my AS-90 (i'll post the progress here in a few days)

Yuna in Conan O'Brien show & the Come As You Are video..

I found this video after reading the news about Yuna  in today Berita Minggu...




i'm a big fan of Nirvana and seeing this new rendition of the hit Come As You Are from Yuna sure is a fresh of fresh air for the original version.. of course the original still the greatest version ever.. (well .. how to top the original version, right?)

I also read that she did a performance in the Conan O'Brien show on April 2nd, 2012. The video can be found here... yuna-live-your-life in Conan O'Brien show

I think her performance in the show is not the best performance... i think the music somehow overshadowed her performance... (maybe its just my ears, which is already used to some loud music :p).

Anyway enjoy the video.. :D

Forces spéciales (Special Forces) - war is hell....

Last night while everyone else in Malaysia is busy watching the final episode of a cheeky drama series "Vanilla Cokelat", i was watching this movie in my "man-cave"...

It is a french adventure war movie, i usually will give a foreign language movie a miss but the premises of this movie makes me want to watch it (i'm a sucker for a war movie like this). This movie centers around a rescue mission to save a kidnapped French journalist from a "rogue-Taliban" extremist. (Remember that this is a foreign movie so please ignore the typical-bad-guy-from-Afghanistan-Taliban thing and enjoy the movie as it is).

I for one enjoyed the movie and the heroism portrayed by the Special Forces "could" bring a tears or two from the audience.

Go find the movie and watch it as it is.. and for any military-modeler-buff out there, you will be able to catch a glimpse of a few military hardware (not the typical US made) such as the NH-90 Helicopter, Tiger HAP helicopter, the Super Frelon, the Charles de Gaulle  aircraft carrier and the Mirage 2000. I might missed a few but sure nice to see another hardware from another nation.

anyway, if you find a .mkv version; use VLC Media player to watch it :o)

Middle finger as a form of salute.....

weird... very weird indeed...

Over the weekend, aku berbasikal sebagai part of aku punya routine and then i saw a few remaja saluting each other with their "middle finger"... and the other party responded to it with a smile and saluting back to their friends with the same gesture.

I thought only when people are mad at someone over a road-rage or near missed accident on highway does people use their middle-finger as a form of self-expression but this is weird.

I guess gone are the days of friends angkat tangan and say "hi" to each other not maybe the in thing is this new saluting method :o)

Well... at least they're still saluting each other... right?

Definition of "middle-finger" according to wiki..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_finger

The Grey - An intense great movie!!

Once more into the fray,
Into the last good fight i'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day

An intense and a powerful thriller movie this is, i just finish watching it and i must recommend it to all..
The musical score (especially the ending piano) is very appropriate to the poem that have been the main drive for the main character John Ottway (Liam Neeson).

He survived a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness and he must survived the wolf...

and dont forget to watch the after the ending credit ... :o)

Wordless Wednesday # Ex2: kill counts..

The Expendables 2 (EX2)

After 2 years (Expendables 1 released in 2010) finally a sequel is coming out come this year August 17, 2012... cant wait... i watched the original and i believe the ex-governor or California is now is given a bigger role instead of a cameo appearance in the first movie... the trailer also not bad although i would expect to see more trailer coming soon as the release date comes closer...

So mark your calendar and start amassing funds for the ticket fees (as i think its not getting any cheaper) :o)

 i think i've reviewed the first movie somewhere in my blog.. hmm let see...http://kumanx.blogspot.com/2010/09/expendables-short-review.html

a new page - JOOMLA Stuff -

As some already notices, i'm revamping my Scale Modelling site (previously at http://kumanworks.110mb.com) and moving it to my own domain (http://kumanworks.com). And during this migration process i'm learning to use Joomla 1.7 as i go a long.

If you go to my site now, some of the stuff will be changing and will be updated as i migrate stuff from the old site. I created a new PAGE in here is to list out what plugins/module that i'm using in creating my new site.

Below is the link to my new page... Joomla Stuff

 I'll update it as i add more stuff to my new site.. this blog will feature the WIP (Work In Progress) of my scale modeling stuff as it will be linked from my new site.

Stay tune for more update soon.. :D

Real Steel!!!! The Best Movie i watched!!!

 Call me late.... yes i admit i'm late at watching this movie... heck i really wish i was early in the line at the cinema when they first show this... but nooo..... i have to ignore this and thinking.."sure should be enough watching it on TV next Hari Raya"... but i was dead wrong......

 


I would say this is better than Transfomers: Dark of the Moon (maybe because in this movie there's only 1 star robot, ATOM).

As i was watching this movie a few minutes ago, i was at the edge of my computer-seat, abandoning my M8 Greyhound  build and letting my air compressor running on empty... and also almost let my Gunze Surfacer dried ( i'm ready to primed my M-8 before i "accidently" switch on Real Steel).

The star of the movie have to be ATOM, and Max Kenton really brings the movie to live.... not forgetting Hugh Jackman & Evangeline Lily (famous from her LOST years and Martin Keamy from LOST also with her in this movie!!) 

 So, for those like me who is LATE.... go get it from your nearest VCD/DVD shop (where able possible buy original guys!) and enjoy the movie..... its a good movie for the whole family (except for maybe a short kissing scene on top of the Tallets' Gym) so now go watch it!!!

Go already.....  

as for me... need to add some thinner to my "almost dried Mr Surfacer" before i hit the bed...

Supernatural Season 7 is back!!

My first post in 2012 and i began with cheering YEHAAAA!!!!.... Supernatural Season 7 is BACK!!! after an almost a month long hiatus.... the adventure of Sam and Dean continues...

 This episode 11 aired on January 6th, 2012 and it begins where Episodes 10 left off... after Bobby Singer pass them the set of numbers....

What is that number? got to watch it!!!... and they're back to hunting Vetala... and at the same time helping Krissy get back his dad...

Really bad on what happened to Bobby... but i'm sure he'll be back (or is he?)

anyway... will continue to watch this next Friday....

ahh.. stay tuned for my next Scale Modelling stuff.. a M4 Greyhound.... :D
