The Past of Batman and The Incepted Dark Knight

With the buzz going with Dark Knight (Batman), of course, as a movie fan, I went to catch the Dark Knight Rises ASAP. Anyhow, the news of shooting during the premier in US were horrible; that's why there should be a ban on the open-selling of weaponry !!!!!! ~~~ Back to the movie, the trilogy of batman by Christopher Nolan was phenomenal. Casting Christian Bale as batman, this decision was brilliant. He was really consistent in his performance. While everybody loves Ledger's performance as Joker in the 2nd installment, I thought it was okay only as compared to the story development of Joker in the original movie of Batman. To me, the 3rd movie was the best amongst the 3 movies of Dark Knight. However, the 2nd installment by Tim Burton was amazing too with a darker and crazier storyline. Thus, I have made a summary for the past and present of Batman movie so far. (^^)

After the tabulation and downloading of old movies, I finally came up with this chart to summarise all the Batman movies. So far, Batman Returns (1992) still captures my heart all thanks to Penguin's gross yet authentic acting and Catwoman's amazing transformation and wildness. While the 1st movie 1989, Jack Nicholson's Joker still remained the best (in my humble opinion). 

The following batman movies of Batman forever, Batman and Robin had declined in its predecessor's achievement. They had become more cartoon-y; but, they weren't that bad at all. However, the Dark Knight trilogy stole the attention of all movies. Of course, the reasons were obvious. (1) More amazing graphic and stunts (2) Better story development (3) More mature and less crazy acting.....

Talking about Dark Knight Rises, this is my most fav in all 3 movies because it is quite a good ending. While the twisted plot may be the reason, the casts did quite a good job too. Therefore, I called this movie the INCEPTED DARK KNIGHT. Reason? A lot of the casts came from Inception ----- Marion Cotillard (Miranda); Joseph Gordon Levitt (Blake); Tom Hardy (Bane)......

Anyway, the cast was awesome. While Bane did most actions and talking, I still think that the fight between him and Batman was a bit "heavy". Another debate of the movie was that WHO IS THE BETTER CAT WOMAN? I think Anne Hathaway did a good job as catwoman. But, Michelle Pheiffer will always be a classic because the character and action were as of in the comics with whip and claws!!! While Anne's catwoman was more modern-like with her own personality.

Taste Different Restaurant 味不同@ Bercham Ipoh

My parents took me personally to enjoy this seafood restaurant known as KEDAI MAKANAN RASA LAIN (味不同） which was more than satisfactory!!!  (Note: This post is quite obsolete, so prices might vary tremendously?????)...hahahahha

Every time, we went there; the people was literally human mountain human sea.. (hahahaha, 人山人海）。Finally, going there around 5.30pm, we snatched a table easily. As a so-called healthy family, we ordered vegetable 1st. Then, came the so-called Stephen Chow's 爆漿瀨尿牛丸alike only,........ the 西刀鱼丸 （Saito Fish balls)  is a must-order !

Then, instead of order dishes and rice, we ordered fish porridge and crab mee which both of them were totally out of the ordinary! The fish porridge's taste was sweet and tasty while the crab mee was really smooth and silky (^^). You can see the crab from the pic below, it was fresh and juicy (^^)

 

The meal ended with a splash! Really (^^)　Because, it is never complete without prawns (^^). We ordered the cheese prawns in claypot. It was like eating a pizza. (^^). hahhahaahhha~~~~

 

Malaysia Current (Forever) Unresolved Issues ~ Crime, Education and Environment

(1) Crime Status in Malaysia

Even since I started my university life, I was so oblivious of Malaysia current issues. I didn't subscribe to any newspapers. After graduated, I can finally start to focus on current issues. Today, I read a special edition of Sin Chew Daily. Basically, above image tells you almost everything. The main context is that "Who let the criminals become so haughty (arrogant)?" (Don;t mind my translation).

While the police side keeps on assuring the citizens of Malaysia that Malaysia is the 16th safest place in the world, horrible murdering cases keep on popping up. The author of the article stated that it is not the media fault for emphasizing the crime in Malaysia; the real culprit is the criminals. What the author said is true!  Do you see any police cars ronda-ing at your neighbourhood? The policemen are getting salary from the taxpayers; at least, set up a patrol team in DARK ZONE!If you follow HK drama (don;t whether is true or not), they have police on the street to take care of the safety of the people there. Anyhow, the special edition focuses on 7 viewpoints as follow:

1. Men: Used to be the protector of the family and women; but, now, they themselves are the targets of robbers, snatch thieves..... They are having problems to protect themselves..(><)
2. Women: Often victims in many cases. Right now, even walking in shopping is dangerous to the ladies ~~ horrible
3. Elderly : Last time, Kampung home was the heaven to them. It was peaceful and all. But, nowadays, the thieves break into the house 1st without considering whether the old people have money or not ~~~ not safe anymore. Impossible you can let the gate unlock before going to sleep like last time.
4. Children: Easily targeted or kidnapped for ransom and others. The streets in Malaysia full of evil people waiting to strike when you turn your back just for a sec !
5. Housewives : This is interesting because, housewives are often the victim of snatch thieves when they go out to do groceries shopping. An infamous case in Penang recently shocked the hell out of the people when 5 passers-by decided to ignore an injured victim of snatch thief ><
6. Family: Whole family being tied up and robbed isn't anything new anymore. 4 years ago, I was still shocked to hear about this. But now, it has become so COMMON ! This means that the condition didn't improve at all. 
7. Business: Even doing businesses in some places are not that easy anymore, Cheras is one of the places which most of the shoplots are installed with gates. 

Should police blame on the media on telling the citizens' truth happened in Malaysia ? No! If there isn't any cases for them to report, obviously, they will find other news!

(2) Education and University Admission 

I am just glad that I am always the last batch in every decision-changing of education system. I am proud to say that I learnt mathematics and science in Malay. Then, they changed to English education which was supposed to be better. Recently, they decided to change back to Malay again~ Flip Flop ! Eventually, the student produced will be inconsistent. 

University Admission and scholarship -  STPM and SPM full As can't get full scholarship. This is the old news for 10 years already! Please reveal the selection process to be fair to everyone! Why a matriculation student (sorry to some of my friends, i am not criticizing matriculation students) is given privilege 1st in course selection? Are they more superior for their course is only 1 year long? I am sure most of you know how tough STPM could be ~ Extra-curriculum might play a factor; but, a lot of academic-excellent students did their best to fulfill the requirement.

(3) Environmental Conservation

I have been very fond of pandas; I even had a panda toy which is bigger than the size of a baby. As I grew up, I gave away my toys. Again, I am not criticizing the panda, but, why we would spend so much money to import 2 pandas to Putrajaya (not the Zoo Negara) (report $1 million per year for the loan for 10 years). While some may argue, the approval of the panda loan signifies the strong relationship between Malaysia and China. However, it is best that the animal stays at their origin. Anyhow, I believed that panda is well-conserved in China. How about the animals in Malaysia? I simply google and get a list of endangered species in Malaysia:

1. Orang Utan
2. Tapir
3. Rhinoceros
4. Penyu
5. Tiger
6. black shrew

With the money spent to build a living ground in Putrajaya wetland, this not only doesn't consider the tourism potential, the money invested could be used to save our own endangered species. ~~~ I have to say that I really know nothing about politics; my heart is to conserve the environment in Malaysia.

Anyhow, in the older news, there were even illegal logging in Perak state which further destroyed the habitats of the wildlife. I also observed that there are some mountains in Ipoh becoming "botak". Hmmmm~~~~~

It is easy to comment! Perhaps, government is doing their best effort to curb this situation. However, even if you give 150%, THE OUTCOME IS BAD MEANS IS BAD. I think most of us just want to see IMPROVEMENT, that's all and no more~~~~
