Techart Cayenne Diesel

Power and fuel saving, excellent combination and not words that usually go together. Tuning house Techart took the Porsche Cayenne Diesel and did the works, exterior-interior and even massaged the engine. Some of the bodywork is a bit extreme for my taste, but that white on white combo is quite nice.

Silver BB Curve?

Crackberry is reporting on the rumour that a white/silver Blackberry Curve might be available soon, which is something that is sorely needed for the current line up in my opinion. My only criticisim of the Blackberrys is that they all look the same now, there is no major visual difference between the Bold and the Curve, and even the Storm is like a Bold without keypads.

The old Curve used to be the fun BB, the one that came in all sorts of colour and could be customized to your liking. The newest one isn't at all like that so I'm hoping RIM rectifies that problem soon.

Tea Time

Had one of those lazy Sunday afternoons, ended up at Pacific Place for some reason and stopped by Cappocaccia. Had some nice coffee and snacks as well which came in some two tier fashion, the sandwiches are nice though I thought the bread is a bit hard.

The Dream - "Rockin That Thang"

My anthem at the moment, been playing it non-stop for a while now, got it in my computer-ipod-blackberry so I can listen to it anywhere. That beat and voice goes together like gin&tonic, bourbon&coke, or chicken&teriyaki...errr.....anyway, excellent song.

The Dream has been cooking up music for the likes of Rihanna, Chris Brown and Usher for a while now, might he make the step up like Ne-Yo? we'll see. Takes a lot to be a superstar these day.

Hello beautiful

And you been on that line
I've been missing you
It's true

Drake - "Best I Ever Had"

There's been a lot of hype about Drake lately, which kinda peaked my curiosity so I took a listen to his breakthrough monster single "Best I Ever Had" and...I kinda liked it. It's not best thing ever or anything like that, but it's decent and catchy.

"Best I ever haddd/best I ever hadddd" hehehe, very catchy hooks with a little help from autotune (he even sounds a little bit like Lil Wayne). Is he overhyped? hmmm...only Drake can answer that, let's see that album homie.

Transformers 2 Review (Spoilers)

Clearly, Michael Bay is not Steven Spielberg (or James Cameron or Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson-the list goes on and on and on).

The list of directors I just mentioned has the ability to blend story with spectacle, having character we actually care about facing extraordinary circumstances numerous times, but we didn't mind. Genetically engineered dinosaurs? check, robots from the future? check, elves vs. orcs vs. goblins vs. whatever? check. It's almost like conducting a symphony, the parts have to be balanced in order not to overwhelm each other.

I know he's not making Shakespeare here, but at least the first one or Bad Boys 2 had some semblance of a story in it...somewhere...this one is just confusing. You need a guide to understand what the hell is going on, I've seen it twice now and it still didn't make any sense!

I read somewhere that there's actually 45 robot characters in this one, but besides the major characters like Optimus and Bumblebee, I couldn't tell them apart. Not even Megatron, the major bad guy, he had minions that looked like him and they're jumping all over the place and I can't tell who lives and who died.
This might be because the robots are too detailed, it looks cool when they stand still but once they start moving it becomes hard to keep track. The colour also play a huge part in recognition, Optimus and Bumblebee stand out but the others are just the same grey colour (not helpfull).

To me this time around, the humans seem more interesting than the robots. Shia was funny, his roommate Leo and Agent Simmons was funny, and Megan Fox is...reliably hot. They break up the robot on robot mayhem nicely, in between the non stop running from large explosions that is hahaha.
Best Line #1:
College Guy 1 - "Is that your car? where you going freshman?!"
Sam - "I'm going to get you a tighter shirt"
College Guy 2 - "There is no tighter shirt, we looked" (fist bump)
There's some really stupid ideas explored too like the human decepticon (Isabel Lucas), how the hell do robots replicate human skin??? definitely an idea best left to the Terminator franchise.

The Autobot twins too, I've seen so much negative response against them on the net that I can't believe someone somewhere was stupid enough to even think that they were a good idea (I think it's Michael Bay's fault, even the writers of the movie are dodging that bullet and blaming him). You have robots farting, talking shit, humping legs (seriously), the list just goes on and on.
Best Line #2:
Agent Simmons - "I am standing directly beneath the enemy's...scrotum"
You really, really need to switch off your brain with this one, just have to enjoy it at face value. The hype is amazing though, look at the line of people waiting to see it:

B&B

I love breakfast, my favorite food of the day, all-day breakfast places is like heaven to me hehehe. Went to Bread&Breakfast last weekend cause there was no food at home, and tried some interesting choices on the menu. Someone ordered the chicken steak (2nd pic), that looked heavy for a brunch, but looks good.

We ordered something healthy too! The pancakes is good too.

Tei Again

Was walking around Pondok Indah Mall one lazy Sunday and did a bit of shopping, so we stopped by Sushi Tei as usual and got some food. The calamari thing was allright, and someone ordered some salmon spicy thing which was ok.
