Set along a backdrop of a fictitious second world war at an international city in Asia.
In Japan, Lieutenant Colonel Yuki (Yusuke Iseya) recommends the creation of spy training school "D Kikan". Meanwhile, Kato (Kazuya Kamenashi) is facing capital punishment for his refusal to follow a superior's order. Kato is then scouted by "D Kikan". He goes through a harsh training regiment and faces his first mission as a spy.
Last week, I have watched a Japanese movie - Joker Game online. Personally, I felt that this film was rather fast-pace and compact though it could have been more refined.
With a good introductory, I anticipated a more convincing plot. However, there was a slight disappointment with its normal plot delivered. The good fighting scenes and clever strategies presented definitely help this film to score more point.
A decent film on its own but I guess there are better ones out there!

Was invited as one of the bloggers to watch WILD CITY 《迷城》special preview yesterday evening! Gary came along with me to catch this film.
Personally, I felt that this fast-paced film was decent and compact on its own. Though a slow build up to its plot, it was nicely crafted with good intense moments. Initially, the introductory was brief without much background, which kept me in suspense. It was then revealed with its flash back scenes. It could have been better if they lessen those flash back and inject the facts, for a better execution. Certain occurrence appear rather vague, which was not well-thought.
Louis Koo did well in his craft as (T-Man)! I like how his character was changed from one to another. A rather convincing delivery!
This film allows you to know more about Hong Kong and the people who are lost in the city. It also send a message across on the temptation of money. Greed can cause anyone out there to be ruthless and to the extent, betray your loved ones.
"别让昨天的悲伤 浪费新的眼泪"
A good action crime show that follows similarly to a Hong Kong drama!
This product is 2 in 1 typed shower gel that cleansing of skin impurities and scalp pollutant is possible at one time!
Personally, I adore this product pretty much as it provide freshness and vitality to my hair and skin. The rich bubbles and mild cleansing ingredients could protect my hair and skin that are washed daily. The nice Citrus fragrance makes the mood refresh during shower.

Eren Yeager, a young boy determined to make change when he himself could transform into one. He is humanity’s last hope. As the story progresses, the truth behind the origin of the Titans arises and the story shifts to one about political subterfuge.
Watched Attack On Titan Part 1 with Cynthia at The Cathay Cineplex yesterday night!
Personally, I felt that the story was refreshing and gripping that stands on its own. If you never read the manga or watch the anime, I believe you may find that the introductory appear rather brief without much background.
Initially, the plot seems weak and predictable. However, it got better with a good story build up that was interesting. Particularly, I enjoyed this scene where the squad work together to save Shingeki no Kyojin life, that was indeed intense. However, the insertion of a sexual scene seems redundant and not applicable to its flow. The digital effects presented was vague which could have been fine-tuned as well.
Haruma Miura did well in his craft as (Eren Yeager)! A rather convincing delivery!
Anyway, if you followed closely to the anime or manga series, do watch it with an open mind to avoid disappointment.

Penang Asam Laksa
This was ranked 7th most delicious food in the world by CNN! Certainly a good authentic dish though it tasted slightly flavourful and spicy to me. Personally, it could have been better if it was less sourish.
Mee Bandung 'Muo'
I adore this dish pretty much! A popular Malaysian dish with distinctive gravy of mashed potatoes, chicken stock, tamarind, blended chilli and curry powder. The gravy tasted not too flavourful and complement well with the noodle.
Tauhu Bakar
Grilled crisp tofu packets served with spicy peanut sauce.
Chicken Satay
My personal favourite dish of the day! The meat was tender and well-marinated in spices. It was perfectly grilled and served along with the peanut sauce!
Durian Rainbow Cake
The highlight of the night would be this dessert! I adore the fluffy texture of this sponge cake with durian goodness! Do give it a try!
Great to see familiar faces (bloggers & foodies) there!

Eddie Peng, Choi Siwon and Shawn Dou, the sports movie TO THE FORE is directed by the highly reviewed director Dante Lam (UNBEATABLES, THE BEAST STALKER, etc). The movie, an intense sports drama set in the world of competitive cycling, is opening Asia-wide in August 2015!
Was invited as one of the bloggers to watch To The Fore 破风 gala premiere which was held at Golden Village Plaza Singapura yesterday night. Samantha came along with me to catch this film.
Personally, I felt that the story was compact and classic on its own. The story flow was decent though its introductory scenes could have been fine-tuned. It focus slightly more on its cycling competition portion which somewhat neglected its story plot. This film may appear predictable without much substance. However, It actually got better with its story build up that was nicely presented.
There were some intense and gripping moments on its cycling competition scenes, that captured my attention. Besides that, it injected certain romance and humour elements which brighten up this film. It also showed us the importance of teamwork and educated viewers never to be complacent.
Overall, a refreshing romance sports related film that inspired viewers not to give up hope in whatever circumstances happened, but to move on and pursue that passion.
Based on "The Fault In Our Stars" author John Green's book, "Papertowns" starts off with high school student, Quentin, who on a random night in his room is visited by his pretty neighbour Margo to help her go on a revenge quest for the people who have hurt her. But the next day when Margo suddenly goes missing, Quentin learns more about his mysterious friend through the clues she has left behind for him all across their town in order to find her.
Watched Paper Towns with Li yi last Saturday night. I finished reading this novel before it was out on screen! Since then, I have been anticipating to catch this film.
The plot was decent and it followed quite closely to the novel. The story flow was okay but certain scenes ended abruptly without much depth. The mysterious element presented was weak and not depicted as well as compared to the book.
The characters each has its own traits and attitude towards school and relational life. Each individual love story then started to build up. The road trip scenes were amazingly presented as it was wacky and funny. It also triggered certain fond memories one might have during high school.
I enjoyed the adventure moment where Margo left certain clues behind to assure her whereabouts and safety. It could have been better if the finale had a twist to surprise those who have read this book. Nevertheless, a good romance film.
Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate—an international rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.
Watched Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation with Jiewei at Johor Bahru City Square Cathay Cineplex!
Personally, I felt that the story was direct with a decent plot though it could have been more refined. The story build up may appear slow but it got better in terms of its suspense and clever strategies injected.
However, the flow was not depicted well enough thus do pay close attention in order to grasp its entire story better. The action and intense scenes certainly added points to it. Good that certain humour elements were injected as well.
