" ipoh mali ets"

18 sept 2010 (saturday), the day we went to ipoh. who are we? adrian, zul, alias & i. it was my planning just with adrian but then his friends wanted to come along. well, as the saying goes, the more the merrier. actually it all started when i read about the new ride from kl to ipoh. yes, the new train 'ets' by ktmb. it took only mere 2 hours ride from klsentral. we took the first ride at 6.20 am. the not so good about the service was when we arrived in klsentral to buy the ticket. we thought we were late since we arrived around 6am. but then as typical as possible the ticket booth hasn't opened yet. late!!! they put a signed at the front will be opened by 6am but only by 6.15am it opened the door. and the first ets will be at 6.15am. the train is upgraded to a faster train but unfortunately the staff still not fast enough to catch the faster train. something to be done here. fortunately, we were told by the policeman who work for the ets that we could buy the ticket inside the train. so, we just went down and waited for the train. the train was on time. this is good. bought the ticket. rm30.00 oneway. promo price for 6 months. the ride was fast. it stop in some station for few seconds. we reached in ipoh around 8.20am. enjoy some of what i saw.

~ movie marathon ~

how great is movie marathon???

greatly great, as long as you've fed your tummy well.
recently, 3 movies in a row with 20 minutes interval for lavatory.

1. avatar - the last airbender

it's about a boy who is destined to be the chosen one;avatar; in a world that divided in 4 elements ;earth-water-air-fire.
fire nation strikes to prove that their the best in many ways than the other nations as well the spirit world.
avatar discovered back after being frozen for century to bring back peace to all nations.
this chapter shows how he mastered water elements.


2. the expendables

born to be mercenaries to make the world a better place to live on (i could say).
the could do any job may it "walk in the park" or "going to hell and coming back" mission.
name all action heroes, they'll be in the movie.
when they're action heroes involved expect the best of action.

3. grown ups

they won the basketball comp.
30 years later their coach sudden death brings them back together for the funeral.
together with them, the lives that they gain over the years.
kids, wife, nanny (exchange student), turkey barking dog, grandma.
they've learn a lot together and by reunion the learn being a family.
all of this, you'll be exhausted of laughing from start till the end.
