Ninja Joe Pork Burgers - Officially the best burgers in M'sia!

If you've never heard of Ninja Joe, then you'd best head that way, but only if you're okay with Non-Halal food. Why? because they are the only commercial store that serves pork burgers in the country! We lucky people know what that means, tasty burgers with little complication. When I say little, well I mean they are small in size and yes you may need 2 burgers to fill up your hunger. But they also serve normal sized burgers too named, Big Boss and Brucely.

GSC Gold Class 3D Movie Experience @ Signature The Gardens

Well there's a first time for everything, sweetie and me decided to catch Pirates Of The Caribbean : On Stranger Tides before it stops running at the cinema. I'll start by reviewing GSC Gold Class and at first glance I was blown away by the premium price!! Ticket price rm45 + surcharge rm20 = rm65 for 1 movie ticket but if you're catching a 3D movie + 3D surcharge rm5 = rm70 per ticket :O

So you know that you won't really watch every movie in Gold Class. So what do you get for that premium price? As you step into the waiting area a concierge will guide you through and take your order for complementary drink at the bar. The waiting area is pretty nice, with plenty of tables and seats to wait. Another nice touch is that the people working there greet you with a smile which shows good customer service :) Plus the food and drinks came very very fast, pretty impressive.

Inside the cinema there are total of 20 seats surrounded with Dolby Digital speakers and an IMAX Digital Projector for a High Definition (HD) experience and that's what it's all about. HD projectors are suppose to be flawless with non of the grainy scenes that you see in the std. cinema projectors. The 3D glasses are really nice but I don't wear glasses so the weight really bothered me a little, but holding it up solves that issue, although I thought the glasses could have been lighter.

Overall I'd say our 1st experience was great! Hope that the service will be consistent when we come back :)

To Dream Theater's New Drummer Mike Mangini...

Congratulations to you for becoming the next Dream Theater drummer. I watched the drum auditions and thought that you had the most energy from all the drummers who did auditioned.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about you should check out the band Dream Theater if you are into Progressive Metal. In September 2010 ex-drummer Mike Portnoy announced his departure from the band after being part of the ensemble for 25 years. To Mike Portnoy, I wish you all the best in all your new projects in the future.

What's a metal band without a drummer right? So Dream Theater decided to invite 7 of the best drummers from around the world to audition for them, catch the videos below, check them out.

Congratulations!!!! once again Mike!!

Hanging out with the Countryman

It's been a while since I've had a proper blog post. Due to my laziness to post on the blog is one of the main reasons for my lack of contribution here. Well I've been pretty busy with work and stuff at home that every time I want to post for my blog I get writer's block! Heck I'll do my best to post more often for myself and Zoey on her blog.

So what have I been up to? I'm now running events with the team in Orcavie, based in Petaling Jaya. Been running around getting things done for each project that goes our way. Lately I've been involved with the new Mini Countryman and believe me when I say it isn't very Mini anymore, but I kinda like it. Took some upper management people out for a pre-launch drive on the twisty Semenyih roads, then another drive for their internal sales team to Tg. Jara which took roughly 5+ hours with one lunch stop in Kuantan. But overall an interesting drive, although I didn't get to drive the Countryman much except to the car wash and to refuel, I still enjoyed my time in the BMW 320i Sport. Next up was the official launch of the Countryman at the KTM Station in KL, this was a huge project with lots of planning, thanks to the experience of the Orca team we managed to pull off a smooth event. Most interesting thing that I did was drive the car from the train onto the platform with Joey G commentating, getting to the waiting zone where the train waited was quite an experience too. I've never really been on one of the trains before and that too was quite interesting as I got to relax in the First Class coach while waiting for everything to take place. Here's a video from the press launch :

That's it for now.
