Finished watching this drama GTO taiwan 麻辣教師GTO. This is a four-episode mini-series which was a Japanese/Taiwanese production that was shot entirely in Taiwan. Though only 4 episodes, I felt that the plot was pretty well-done. 

It educated me the importance of kinship and value in life. Never look down on the poor but instead treat everyone equally. Status and money may be important but humility is one everyone ought to desire and take note. 

I felt that Genie Zhou spoke pretty well in Japanese. Great job! It will be nice to see her in Japan drama in near future. (:

4 Fingers Crispy Chicken with Jeffrey and Brandon! The well-marinated drumstick were served hot. It was crispy in every bite though the sauces tasted slightly strong for my taste bud. The chicken meat was tender but it was quite dry. Usually, I prefer original over spicy chicken. However, for this one, I like the spicy one instead.

We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

Was invited as one of the blogger to attend The Amazing Spider-man 2 3D gala premiere yesterday evening! The screening venue was at GV Vivocity. I ask my shepherd to watch this film together with me. (:

Personally, I felt that the story was pretty compact with good flow. It kept a good balance educating viewers on its plot about some unknown truth and the importance of romance, friendship and kinship. There were good intense and nerve-wracking moments which captured my attention. It also injected humor elements which brighten the show as well. Towards the end, the climax went up to another level with a pretty sad ending. 

It was alittle draggy for me initially but I felt otherwise after watching the show because it served a purpose on the entire plot. Many positive quotes being mentioned in this film which I thought was good!

Am blessed and thankful for the invitation from Sony Pictures!

Had this Chicken Bibimbap at Han Ka Ram Korean Restaurant few weeks ago. This eatery was located at AXA Tower. Usually, there will be a crowd during lunch-time. Personally, I felt that the bibimbap tasted reasonably good with relatively cheap price. The sides were tasty too!

One thing to mention will be the sauces. There are 4 different sauces for consumers to choose from. Thus, you can customize by adding all 4 sauces or only 1 in your dish whichever you prefer. Then, you are ready to enjoy your meal.

Dr. Will Caster is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed - to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn and friend Max, both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can... but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power - to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

Watched Transcendence yesterday evening with church friends. Personally, the story was straight-forward though it started slow in the beginning. I thought that the story was refreshing because it revolves technology which was interesting.

The story flow well though the climax was not as impactful; it reached only to that certain level which did not do much justice. The plot was acceptable but not as good since it was rather predictable. After watching the show, I guessed many felt pretty 'heavy' because of how this film was being portrayed.

The ratings for this show was bad. However, I felt that it was pretty decent though it could have been better.

A group of 7 university students, that belong to the same tennis club, leave for a graduation trip to a snowy mountain cottage during the wintertime. Although all of them seems to get along well, some of them carry secrets the others are not aware of. Yuta Shino (Koji Seto), the cool and brilliant president of the club, is in love with Miki (Anna Ishibashi ) and plans to tell her about his feelings at the destination of their excursion. But it doesn´t works out the way Yuta wishes, instead he learns that Miki is already dating his best friend, the free-spirited Takano Natsu (Ryo Yoshizawa). When love is shattered and jealousy unleashed, the seven friends find themselves in conflicting postions, and suddenly a murder occurs.

Finished watching this drama - Lost Days. Personally, I felt that the story plot was good. It bring back memories on those "lost days" when I was in secondary. Those were the days that we spent more time with friends after class and during holidays. 

It revolved emotions and secrets each may have within oneself. Moreover, it portrayed different personality of each person as well. Everything seems good initially, however, the ugly truth of each secret started to show when 7 university students went on a holiday. 

From this show, I realised that we have to think before we speak. You might not mean what you say but the other party will think otherwise and misery will happen. Also, to love yourself and not trying hard to be someone else. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so what's the point to be jealous with another person?

It is one good suspenseful drama. Alright, I ponder if there's season 2 for this drama? I thought the ending left viewers a mystery.

Dinner was at Sinpopo Brand 新泡泡甜品小吃 with Danny few weeks ago. We were attracted by the nostalgic ambiance and decided to give this eatery a try. 

The cooked food we ordered tasted normal. I had curry chicken rice and I thought that the curry was thin and light It could have been slightly thicker for better taste. However, the texture and tenderness of the chicken meat makes the dish worth a try. 

On the other hand, the durian penga tasted good! It was thick and rich in flavour so you may want to consider sharing it with your loved ones. Most likely, I will be back there to try other desserts!

It will be nice to bring your parents there because of the ambiance and music played which will bring back many wonderful memories they had, during their younger days.

I bought this plate of chicken rice at House of Chicken Rice 優美味鸡饭. The rice was well-cooked with the correct texture, not too soft or hard. The chicken meat was well-marinated too. I think the ginger sauce is good as well? I have not tried yet but friends told me that it was very good!

The appropriate amount of sauces was added to the rice and meat, making this dish a pleasant one as it was not too... salty for my taste bud. However, the portion was small which did not bring much justice ever since the price was increased.

Brunch at Table Manners with Danny on a weekend few weeks ago. The restaurant has nice concept of its layout with good ambiance. 

You can customize your own meal which was pretty interesting. Thus, I decided to have Buttered Mash Potato, Mushroom Ragout and Beer Battered Fish Fillet. Also, I complete my set with soup, dessert and Tea. 

Personally, my fish fillet tasted reasonably good! It was served hot and crispy. It has a slight pinch taste of the beer which goes surprisingly well with the fish. The mushroom and mash potato tasted good too. However, I thought that the portion for the fish was very small. If bigger portion to be given, it will be near to perfect.

One of the better brunch dining experience I have thus far. (:
