Since Jing & Me had fly bistro vouchers, we decided to chill out and try the food there! I find it rather interesting having different names for the mocktails! I ordered bumble bee and it tasted reasonably good!
The dish 3 of us ordered were the same - Mac & Cheese Pasta with baked beans & egg! Since it is chef recommendation, we believe it will not go wrong. The proportion of this dish was rather huge. If you are a small eater, you can consider to share it with another person. The cheese blended together well with the pasta. The baked beans with egg was rather new to me, I think it still tasted quite alright.
Nice ambiance and a nice chill out place after a long day work. I think it will be better for one to visit the place at night though. And of course with a fine weather.

Wanted to catch liar game - the final stage in cinema previously without knowing that there is a drama for it. However, I did not watch either. I did not expect that this film will be similar to the of genre I like. The first Japanese film I was expose to is battle royale! Till then, I realized that I actually enjoyed it. After which, I began to enjoy watching Japanese film. There's too many to name!
Alright! I shall write my thoughts and review on this series.
Kanzaki Nao is an honest college student who receives a hundred million yen one day, along with a card saying she has been chosen to take part in the "Liar Game". The aim of the game is to trick the other players out of their hundred million dollars.
Liar Game 1:
I feel that the story line is superb with unexpected plot. Most importantly, it is short, sweet and direct without beating the bush. In total, there are 4 rounds to this series. Each stages, there are different task to be completed in order for one to move on or out of the game with debts. You have to think ahead others and strategies your plan, be it to lie or to cheat it is up to you.
Other than the games, there is a story behind it which involved revengeful thoughts. In order to see if there is such honest person who exists, Kanzaki Nao was choosen to play the liar game. That is when everything is pre-planned and the story continues from there.
Throughout the game, it made me realized the ugly side of a human. On the other note, also understand that there is still hope when people like Nao existed in the game and by no means try her best to save everyone on being debt-free.

Other than the game, there is also a story behind with involved both Matsuda Shota & Katsuragi Ryo. Both were once a classmate. Both equally smart but have different beliefs. One who is optimistic while the other pessimistic. Imagine having this two in the game, that is where you see how both strategies their plans.
One scene which capture my attention, Nao mentioned this to Matsuda Shota saying, "You & Katsuragi Ryo are equally great but you are the compassionate one while Katsuragi Ryo is the great but not good. One thing that I could apply from my church sermon, "God is great and He is also good!" Thank God that he is great and also good! If I have a God who is great and no good. I guess I will live in big fear!

Kudos to Matsuda Shota, Kanzaki Nao & Suzuki Kosuke! Impressive acting! The others did well with their given roles too!
Throughout the whole series, it made me realized one thing that everyone has their own character. Be it how evil and black-hearted the person may be, each still has their vulnerable and kind-hearted side.
Quoted from the show: "This game isn't only about deceiving people, it is a game of seeing how far people can believe in others."
Anyway, I have watched the liar game - the final stage as well. Will do the review after I watched the liar game - Reborn.

Liar Game 2:
The naïve Kanzaki Nao and expert swindler Akiyama Shinichi have not heard anything from the LIAR GAME organization since the end of the previous game, so it seems they may have actually escaped. But Nao suddenly gets another invitation and is once again caught up in the game.
As usual, unexpected plot. Matsuda Shota proceeded to the next round without Nao. However, she was invited to go back and play the liar game yet again.

Watched Step Up Revolution with Joe last Friday! It was an impromptu one.
I feel that the story line is simple yet expected without much climax. As I have watched the previous ones, I think this one focus more on dancing techniques/elements but lack of the overall story flow. Nevertheless, it injected romance in it which is one similar factor which can be seen previously too. Nice refreshing dance move! If you are only for the dance moves, you will find this show fantastic, but if you are looking for a story based film, this show here might not turn out to be fantastic for you.
The following above are my favourite dance move from this film! Think it is really cool~

Watched Resident Evil: Retribution with JW & Gary yesterday. I feel that the story line is alright but the flow was rather messy. Instead of the thrill, I feel that there are more fighting scenes instead. Though certain scenes are rather draggy, there are certain climax which brings up the show. If you are going for the thrill, I guess you have to skip this one and wait for the next one!

Watched The Fierce Wife with mum today! There is a drama before this movie, I enjoyed watching because it educates the viewers to treasure their loved ones and not take it for granted.
I feel that this romance film is rather humorous. I guess those who went to watch this film wanted to know ultimately who Xie An Zhen will be with. Thanks to the humorous scenes which brings the show up if not it will be rather dull. There isn't much climax nor excitement because towards the end because it is rather clear who Xie An Zhen loves.
Anyway, catch this film only if you have watch the drama series because with that, you could relate better and put yourself in the character's role. Nevertheless, happy ending!

Tried the food and beverages from Charlie Brown Cafe. I have to say that the food is not value for money but it is rather a good place to chill out. Nice ambiance with many adorable characters of Charlie Brown!
The food I ordered was Golden Fried Chicken Sandwich, it looks good but tasted normal. The chicken patty is rather small and I could barely eat any meat. This dish cost $13.80 which I still cannot figure and justify with such costly price. Hmm.. Maybe because it situated at town?
The Hazelnut Milk is good and rich. It cost $4.50 which I think it is reasonable. I guess the place is more popular in its beverages and dessert. Guess the next time there, I will be having that instead of eating their main dish.

Watched The Cold Light Of Day. I feel that the story plot is direct without beating the bush. A rather mysterious thriller film which keep me in suspense as the story goes by. You have to be alert in order for one to understand the story better. Quite mind blowing for me but if you are an adventure lover, you will love this. Nice climax scenes which brings the show up!
Though was rather confusing at certain scenes, I think that it was a rather refreshing. As expected, it ended mysteriously.
Henry Cavill acted pretty good though I thought he could be more expressive. Nevertheless, he still did a great job!
As a whole, I think the show is a suspenseful film for the adventure lovers!

Dinner was at old town! I feel that the food tasted reasonably good! The ambiance was good and cosy as well!
The chocolate drink tasted rich and thick! If you like the rich taste of chocolate, you have to try this! Oh ya, I tried old town white coffee too! Nice Aroma! The nasi-lemak tasted quite alright. The chicken was marinated rather proportionate with good seasoning. However, the ikan bilis tasted slightly salty for my taste bud. The chilli sauce is good though I think it can be slightly sweeter. Nice to have few slices of cucumber added to the dish.
The bbq chicken egg noodles tasted good! If you like the vegetarian kind of char siew, you will like this one here! The wanton tasted yummy and it stuffed prawns in it which brings out the favour better! One good food not to be missed!
