MyReview: Marvel's The Avengers

Thanks to Nuffnang I got to watch Marvel's The Avengers yesterday night, a day before the official premiere in Malaysia.

 

Don't plan to write too much here to spoil the movie for you.

I think it's quite balance on how each heroes get to show their stuff.

I love the battle scenes. A lot of mixed battles. Heroes versus Heroes. Heroes versus Villain. Strong versus Strong. Strong versus Weak. Weak versus Strong. Funny thing is I didn't see Villain versus Villain.

  

If you think Tony Stark is funny, wait till you see Dr. Bruce Banner and his alter ego The Hulk. If he's not funnier then he is a match for Tony Stark.

As in any Marvel movie, stay back after the title credits but don't have to stay back after the ending credits. I'll watch it again in IMAX 3D. Hopefully I will be able to purchase a ticket.

Rating: 5/5

Watch UEFA Cup Semi-final in Europe!

A few weeks ago I went to take a glimpse of the UEFA Cup trophy that made it to our shore for a tour. Thanks to Carlsberg, I get to go in for a closed door session for the media first before it's open to the public.

We were given by a surprise visit by Peter Schmeichel. He was one of the greatest Danish goalkeeper in football history. Manchester United fans will surely know him because he's a former ManU player.

Joining the launch of the UEFA Cup trophy with Calrsberg Malaysia's Managing Director, Sven Goren and Peter Schmeichel are the ambassador of Poland and Ukraine. Both countries are the co-host of UEFA Cup 2012.

Up close and personal with the trophy. I don't dare to touch it because there were four armed guards guarding the trophy. =P

 

There's a girl dressed in Polish traditional costume.

Now there's a chance for you to win an all-expenses paid trip to watch the UEFA Cup Semi-final live in Europe. To find out more on how to win, click here. Good luck!

Marvel’s The Avengers

I am Matter Maestro. The latest member of The Avengers. I joined after Spider-man decided to restart his whole life again to when he haven't become Spider-man. Oh, good that he finally realized that his web doesn't comes out from under his skin.

Okay. Let's get back to The Avengers. Being a new kid on the block, surely the other members will have doubt about my ability. Especially the arrogant Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man and the more than 90 year old but still look like he's in his 20s' Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America. "So, what kind of power you got that made you qualified to join The Avengers, My-ass what?", asked Tony while sniggering.

"Well, Tony. Basically I'm not a genius or a playboy or a billionaire but I do contribute monthly to World Vision. Jokes aside. You can say that I am the master of mass in their atomic form. I can change my mass property into solid, liquid or gas form.", I replied.

"I can solidify my mass until it is as strong as Adamantium. Even bullet made with diamond can't go through me when I solidified myself. I might be the only one that can take on Wolverine's claws with my bare hand when I'm solidified. I think your armour won't stand a chance if I punch you with my solidified knuckle.", I continued with Dr. Bruce Banner looking at me with a face of curiosity.

I can also turn myself in to liquid form. In this form any attacks on me will be a waste because it will only goes through. I can drown someone by covering his or her face with my hand. I can also slip through any piping or hide inside watery surrounding for infiltration and escaping.

Last but not least I can turn into gas form which will be barely visible or easily detectable because I've mixed with the air. Most important of all, I can traveled into Loki's hideout through the ventilation and spy on his secrets. Once I got to know the weakness of his armies and sabotage his mind control. We, The Avengers will stand a greater chance to win this war and save the world.

By the way, I can modified any inorganic thing's form too. So really, your amour is useless when facing me. Come, come. We have a movie to catch this April 27th and I might be able to watch it a day earlier.

Glenmorangie - Unnecessarily Well Made

In the previous post, I blogged about Glenmorangie Orange Night party that I went to. Well, the party is just a warm up. Before that, let me tell you more about Glenmorangie whisky.

As purveyors of perfection in single malt whisky, Glenmorangie takes pride in going to great lengths to ensure the quality of Glenmorangie whisky; to ascertain that Glenmorangie whisky is “Unnecessarily Well Made”.

Single malt whisky obtains its flavour from the wooden casks used in maturation. Many of Glenmorangie’s bespoke casks are made from white oaks grown on the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, USA.

They are grown slowly over 100 years and seasoned naturally in the open air for two years to preserve their porous texture – a quality that adds to the spirit’s intriguing depth.

The superiority of the ingredients – local spring water from its own Tarlogie spring and locally grown Scottish barley, combined with the skill of the craftsmen who follow the same, time honoured approach that the company has used throughout its long history, result in a smooth spirit of distinction.

Now that you've know what a great whisky Glenmorangie is, you want a taste of it? Be sure not to miss the opportunity to familiarize with all things ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ this April. Come 11 April to 1 May 2012, Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar will be showcased in the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City.

Glenmorangie Orange Night, The Pool

When I got the invitation to a Glenmorangie event, I was so excited because I've heard about how smooth and flavourful this single malt Scotch whisky is. Not only I got to try it for the first time on that blissful Orange Night, I got to do it in the new hip night club in town, The Pool off Jalan Ampang.

It's called The Pool because there's really a swimming pool in the middle of the club. I bumped into Ally, Red FM DJ, Foodtrepreneur, foodie and etc.

At the same table there's Bangsar Babe, hot food blogger but not available. Sorry guys. Oh, she's available for food review though =P

Nothing can beat an event with fellow bloggers. Always fun to drink and chat with my blogger friends. With a glass of smooth addictive Glenmorangie Original on the rock, ah what more can one ask for?

Which, I think Wilee will agree to that.

I totally forgot about the orange theme, hence my failed colour. Oh, well, Louise not dress in orange too.

Gorgeous Marilyn did come according to the theme of orange and Retro Funk. Some says she's like Minnie.

After few glasses of the smooth stuff, my aim became blurred with Nadia.

But why is it so clear with Clevermunkey here? My camera is a 'she'?

I love the Glenmorangie "Spin the Bottle" iPad game because the only penalty is drink more Glenmorangie, which I'm gladly took the penalty lol.

When I was going for my 4th or 5th glass of Glenmorangie, I bumped into the mayor of The Pool.

While Cheesie was in Japan, I met her #addiction there.

With Dustyhawk, whom I first met through blogging event way back in 2008.

Like a boss, Benjamin chatting with Seraph Sam and MisterIDon'tKnowWhat'sHisName.

This is the first time I met Ciki in person but it's like I've known her for a few years lol.

If you are into food. Then you must visit Openrice. You'll get a lot of goodies by posting your food review there.

Wondered why it's the Glenmorangie Orange Night? Well, add a little tangerine flavour to the whisky and it's a whole new dimension.

Look mom, it's the funny guy, Douglas Lim. Okay, my mom doesn't know who is him. Oh but wait, I think she watched ”己子当归“ before. Oh, Douglas told me something sad about this old Astro sitcom, which he did in a funny way.

Not only she's hot and pretty. She can dance too and very good too. Cecelia Yong, Winner of So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 2.

Another Red FM DJ, Jeremy was there with Joanne Kam.

Another fun event. I love Glenmorangie. Now other whisky need to do better to impress me after I tasted Glenmorangie. I just can't stop drinking. Of course, I drink responsibly, that's why we go some near supper place to sober up first before driving home.

For those giving the Glenmorangie Orange Night a miss, look out for another not to be missed
opportunity to familiarize with all things ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’. Come 11 April to 1 May 2012, Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar will be showcased in the North Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City. Whether you are a single malt aficionado, a fan of contemporary design, or just plain curious, be sure to head to The Gardens to catch the SOUNDFORM Fluid, which is a striking yet sculpturally functional illustration of Glenmorangie’s ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ concept.

DEAR orange 生活记事本

等了大概五年吧。 一路就知道Orange陈慧恬有一把很得别的声音。还以为拿了Project Superstar 2 女冠军不久就可以听到她的个人专辑。 Orange 重2007歌唱比赛到电台做DJ到在8TV做Ho Chiak!的主持人，一路走来到2012才可以出她个人专辑。 我当然第一时间买来一听为快。

专辑内容 ： CD
01. 陈慧恬 (0:14)
02. 橘色星光 (3:58)
03. 愿望 (0:29)
04. 咿唔咿唔 (3:50)
05. 生活的事 (0:41)
06. 管理时间的人 (4:13)
07. 我们的心理住着一个小孩 (0:14)
08. 打勾勾 (3:07)
09. 亲爱的你们 (0:48)
10. 亲爱的我们 (3:55)

第一主打“橘色星光”可以说是Orange这五年来的身劳沥青吧。唱出她这几年的故事。有激励，又感动。尤其是在Chorus我都有想哭的感觉。可能我为她终于出个人专辑而感动吧。你们听听看是否和我有同一个感觉？

“咿唔咿唔”是一首很轻松的歌。 一听这首个就好像什么烦劳都没了。“我唱歌来跟你交换。” 听起来就好像Orange唱歌跟我的烦劳交换。 我推荐这首歌给心情不愉快的人听，听了心情一定会变好。还有一点是，这首个让我想起当年赵永华的“面包”。

“管理时间的人”是专辑里惟一一首Ballad。这genre可以说是Orange的强行。她昌的恰恰好，不油不腻还可以感到小许的失落。

“打勾勾” 轻快，怀念，友情是这首歌要带给我们的感觉吧。 又是一首快乐的歌，就好像Orange经常傻笑的感觉。

如果“打勾勾”是关于友情，那“亲爱的我们”就是Orange要送给她家人的一首很温馨的歌。听了会让人想起家人。

DEAR orange 生活记事本是很有诚意的专辑，Orange没有令我失望，她做到了比我如期她可以做到的更好。 恭喜妳啊，Orange.

Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012 Contest - Part 2

I know, I know you've been waiting until neck long for the 2nd part of the contest to win a pair of tickets to Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012. I'm not gonna says which artiste will be performing here again. You can read it in part 1 and also get the question for the contest I'm running on my blog.

Here are some useful tips for any new festival goers, Tiger has come up with their 5 top tips to get the most out of Tiger AMF.

1) Make Sure You Get Your Tickets NOW! Due to an overwhelming response, 20,000 digital tickets already have been snapped up since its release on 9 March 2012. Fret not, fans still stand a chance to win the remaining exclusive invites by participating in MY FM on-air promotion. (No worries. I have 5 pairs to give away here if you join my blog contest.)

2) Meet New People. One of the best parts about the Tiger AMF experience is meeting and being around new groups of people. Take the opportunity to interact with other festival-goers and share a Tiger beer or two with your new friends.

3) Combine Comfort With Fashion. Don’t forget, Tiger AMF is a street music festival at the beach! Beachwear is the dress-code, so get ready to dance in the sand with a high chance of getting drenched! High heels are probably not the best idea, unless they are water-proof!

4) Get There Early. With Paul Wong and Ka Keung (Beyond), LMF, Jam Hsiao, A-Lin, A-Yue, MC Hotdog, as well as ManHand all performing on the night, it’s better to be at Tiger AMF early than finding out you’ve missed out on your favourite artists.

5) Relax and Have a Good Time! The most important thing to bring to Tiger AMF is a good attitude. You’re there to have fun, so get out there and enjoy it!

The Tiger AMF 2012 is strictly for music fans who are above 18 years of age. The event partners include MY FM, Durex, Cathay Pacific, The Swagger Salon (LANSI), and Mint.
Do not miss out the opportunities to win exclusive invites to the most happening Asian musical event of the year! All you need to do is to log on to www.ilikeAMF.com.my for more information, and get ready to party with Tiger!

Now, for the contest.

Part 2 Question:
Name two of the Tiger Asian Music Festival 2012 partners.

Send in your answers together for Part 1 and Part 2 before 11:59 p.m. 10th April 2012. Please refer to Part 1 for the details. Good luck and all the best. Winners will receive my email on where and when to collect the tickets on 11th April 2012.

Chevrolet Colorado Launch

When it comes to pick-up truck, one won't go wrong with a Chevrolet. They are one of the first few car manufacturer that come out with a pick up car back in 1918. Their latest addition to their pick up truck family is the Chevrolet Colorado.

Built from scratch in their South East Asian plant in Thailand. Even the engine was built there. Colorado was designed to be run to tropical terrains in South East Asia.

There are three variants to choose from. The 2.5 LT MT Turbo Diesel 4x4, 2.8 LT MT Turbo Diesel 4x4 and 2.8 LTZ AT Turbo Diesel 4x4. All 3 running on the proven Duramax engine. The full specs can be found here.

Colorado really look quite stylish and doesn't have the old pick-up truck look. A picture is worth a thousand words, so just look at it.

At a starting price of RM 88,888. I think it's quite a good value for a 2.5liter capacity engine car. If you often goes into jungle or off-track road trip, then Chevrolet Colorado is one of your choice.
