Must watch! Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on TGV IMAX!
I’m dedicating an entire blog post to tell you to…
WATCH MI:4 on TGV IMAX!!!
No no I’m not getting money to tell you that. I went and enjoyed the experience so much that I feel it would be criminal of me not to spread the word. As a community service message. For free. Wow, can you see my halo or not??
I went to the one at TGV Sunway Pyramid where they have a new IMAX theater. I think the price varies as I searched for different days. E.g. it cost RM22 on a Saturday but it was only RM20 on a Sunday.
At first it offended my cheap Chinese sensibilities to have to pay so much money for a friggin’ movie ticket. Then I was told that RM22 is considered cheap for an IMAX show. Then Mike and LL, having watched MI:4 on IMAX the other day kept singing its praises. Okay lor.. close one eye and click to pay…
Seriously, it was worth every sen! I suppose it helps that MI:4 was partially shot using IMAX cameras so it came together like movie magic 
Like how the movie Avatar is best watched in 3D as the director meant for it to be enjoyed that way.
So here I am telling you to go WATCH MI:4 on TGV IMAX!!!
Sekian.
The Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011
… aka NAPBAS. I was there ‘cos I was one of the 5 finalists for the ‘Best Micro Blog‘ category.
The awards was held this past Friday at the Putrajaya Marriott. I’ve been to the hotel before but only during daytime. Plus I left from a new place so I wasn’t very sure of my directions. So I ended up touring Putrajaya city, went on both Putrajaya bridges and rounded the city a few times because Malaysian road signs are: 1) inefficient and lead you to big useless rounds, and 2) blocked from view thanks to massive trees.
Really Kerajaan, thank you. Loved the nearly 2 hours joyride. Really.
Anyway, managed to reach there just in the nick of time.
Met many familiar faces, mostly known each other via blogging from a few years back. It’s (still very much so) a fantastic community 
By the way, I’ve to mention Viva Vertical’s pole dancing show during the awards. It was fun to watch and in KY’s words, they had muscles where I didn’t know one could have muscles! Nah, link: *click*
Then my category came up. Wah they did this big screen thing:
Damn shiok man, I felt a tingling down my spine. Quite a thrill really to see yourself on a massive projection like that. And for reasons not related to crime… best! 
I didn’t win, Kenny Sia did. So sad, mostly because I would have liked a new digital camera, sob sniff.
Though I’ve to say, I had fun at the awards thanks to the company Also, it’s not everyday that you get to pose in a photo like this:
Best ever! By the way, if you’d voted for me, thanks yah. Really appreciate it

The Breaded and Baked Chicken ‘cos it’s healthier than fried
I breaded and baked chicken. It’s so mind-numbingly easy, you can do it too!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs. Or Panko if you’re super fancy
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp herbs, whatever you like
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
(I buy 2 chicken breasts and cut to half)
1 – Preheat the oven to 190°C for 10 mins.
2 – Pound and flatten the chicken breasts a little with a meat hammer. I got mine from IKEA, it’s the most useful thing ever as we also utilise it to break ice.
3 – Mix breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, dried herbs and cayenne pepper.
4 – Mix olive oil with minced garlic.
5 – Lightly grease a baking pan/ baking paper placed on a baking pan.
6 – Dip the chicken breasts into the oil+garlic mix then into the breadcrumb mix.
7 – Arrange the meat in the baking tray. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
8 – Serve however way you want, mmmmmmmmmmm.
I had mine with Neapolitan sauce on warm tortilla bread.
Fanfriggintastic!
Foolproof Baked Zucchini and Mushrooms
I’ve been eating my zucchini this way for a while now. It’s unbelievably easy, takes almost no effort and tastes way awesome. Just thought I’d put it down on the blog for anyone who might find it helpful. Never know!
Heat oven to 190°C for 10 mins. Meanwhile, slice zucchini and quarter mushrooms. Throw it all into a baking pan (or whatever you use for the oven). Drizzle good quality extra virgin olive oil onto the vege. Add salt and black pepper. Using your (clean) hands, mix the stuff around and make sure that it’s well coated. Dump it in the oven for 10 mins then it’s done.
Simple joys!
