Conan the Barbarian 2011

Spoiler alert : Do NOT scroll down if you do not wish to be "spoiled"

Conan the Barbarian. Hmm. These 3 words may make you think only of a few things. 1.) Barbarian. 2.) Hunk. 3.) Hunk that has boobs. =.= (Influenced from a very good friend of mine). 4.) Back to barbarian. Also, maybe for many of us, we might think that the term "Barbarian" may only refer to.... guys who talk really loudly, act roughly, eats like a pig and party non stop. Actually, in the movie, it's that way too. Haha.


I guess the concentration normally is only on the man with boobs...... hmm...

Synopsis :
Conan was born during the brink of the war. Maybe because of that, his nature was vicious, although he has a good heart. As the son of the leader for Barbarian type, he did not let his father down. At a young age, he can kill a few hunters from the enemies alone. Due to the kill of hunters, the tribe leader seeks revenge... and also to collect a piece of "the mask" to revive an aggressive power in order to conquer the rest of Hyboria. Conan's father was killed by Khalar Zym... and Conan sworn to seek for revenge.

Review of the movie :
Other than wanting to watch super hot Jason Momoa.. (I hate his family name), I thought that the show would not be.. interesting. Apparently, it was quite gory but a lot of scenes are cut in Malaysia. I would say that the movie was alright, the fighting parts were really interesting, unlike Transformers 3, that made me fell asleep. I never expected that sorcery would be a part of the movie. I didn't read the synopsis beforehand, it's just that I thought the movie SHOULD be nice. Haha. The storyline is pretty predictable, all ancient shows are like that I guess. You kill my tribe, I kill yours. It would be a good watch in the cinema because of the action that it has to offer. Intense storyline? I think not. Not really sure if Conan is supposed to be the hero or somewhat other than that because he had been killing and killing, just anybody would do. Doesn't hero save people more than they kill? Instead he seeks for revenge. Personally, I didn't think he give a damn about Khalar having the mask to conquer the world. All Conan wants is to have Khalar's head so that he would feel better about his father's death. That wouldn't help, would it? The ending of the movie was so........ omg stupid. Tamara (The pure blood descendant of a sorcerer tribe) was left alone by Conan after having.. intimate relationships with her, just because she has to fulfill a small duty to her homeland. Conan, you had already seek for your revenge, can't you just wait for her for that tad bit? You don't have anything else on your hands, do you?

Ten Things I Hate About the Sims Social on Facebook




The Sims Social on Facebook is known to almost everyone, whether you play it or not. As long as you own a Facebook account, there's definitely no running away from seeing posts about the game. If you do play the game, you will realize....... there are quite a number of things to hate about the game.


1.) Technical issues.
This is general, I think, nobody would love stupid technical errors about every few hours and that you have to wait. You will hate waiting because your friends from some other countries are playing and you're stalking them on Facebook activities feeling realllly pissed off...



See, 2 minutes ago.. yippee.. lemme click mine!

Wow, what a "surprise" to see this message >:(

2.) Bathing with a swimsuit
Yes, when you click "hygiene", sometimes your sims will go to the sink or to bath. When your sims changes his/her clothes, he/she changes into swimsuit to go into the bath.... I'd really just prefer the mosaics that the put on the sims whenever they go to toilet.. that way, it's more realistic, isn't it? :) I don't have any pictures for this.. because.. guess what? Go back to reason number 1.

3.) Energy Bar
Look at your energy bar. It's almost always maximized at one point, doesn't it? As your level gains, more experience is needed in order to level up, but look at your sad energy bar, it's always 15!!! At least so far for me it's still 15 since level.. 5?

4.) Items in the shop
There are SO little items in the shop. I know, I know, it's a new game on Facebook but the most attractive point of playing the sims is to make your house unique! Not to mention there's no swimming pool!!! I want the SWIMMING POOL~! >:( 

5.) No genie
Yes, it's called the Sims Social, but it's a combination of all versions to be played on Facebook isn't it? I want the genie from Makin' Magic, so that he can cause my bill to be higher or simply just cast fire in my kitchen. 


Don't you just miss this moment? Come on, don't lie :(

6.) No death
As much as I hate to sound like a sadist, no one dies in this game :(. I miss the ghost walking through my house... making everyone in the family to be scared. Hah, that's socializing too you know. At least you get to attend a funeral :) Not to forget about the cemetary!


Won't you want to kill your friend and look at the grim reaper pulling her away? :)

7.) You don't have a job.
No job for you, boohoo. I still remember those days when I'm so happy everytime I got a promotion back from work, hah. That's fun you know.. especially when you have to work your butt off to get that promotion. The pissed off part normally comes from not enough friends in order to be promoted.. but guess I can't enjoy that with Sims Social........ pift.

8.) You can't have kids or babies.
It's decided for me that they hate kids. Really, in customization of characters, do you see any options of turning into a kid? Not for me :/ I don't see an option of that. You can't have babies with your partner too. How sad, right? You can't watch your baby grow up to be a kid and etc. How I miss those days of naming the baby.. and being annoyed by the cries of the baby.. wondering how he/she would grow up to be like.. meh.


See, babies. You can't have babies now, you can't sing to your babies, you can't feed them or even neglect them. Sigh.

9.) No thief in the game.
I want that alarm to ring.. and dial 911. Watch that stupid thief steal my stuff and get caught. It's quite a pleasure at times........ and I mean it, AT TIMES :)


A thief getting caught by the police.


10.) No cheats in the game.
If you do use money cheat in the older version of sims, "klapaucius" and "rosebud" must already been a word that you're sick of, since you have to copy and paste non stop in order to get tonnes and tonnes of money to decorate your house.

 Byebye cheats, Sims Social doesn't like you.



I can actually name more than 10 reasons to hate, but I chose these few.. for now.

Zookeeper the Movie 2011

Spoiler alert : Do NOT scroll down if you do not wish to be "spoiled"

Yes, yes, although I have not blogged yet about Penang.. but I'll be blogging about a movie called, The Zookeeper. Acted by Kevin James. In case you feel that his name is familiar, he acted in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" and many other movies. He's a comedy actor, normally only starred in Comedy Movies. :)


The cute plump man on the left of the picture <3

Synopsis :
In "Zookeeper", Kevin James plays Griffin Keyes, a kind-hearted zookeeper who is convinced the only way to get a girl in his life is to quit his job. The zoo animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honoured rule of not talking to humans and teach Griffin the ways of the wild so he can find a mate and stay at the zoo. In this funny yet suspenseful movie, Griffin finally noticed that being himself might be the only way to win a woman's heart.


Cast of the movie :
Kevin James...Griffin Keyes
Rosario Dawson...Kate
Leslie Bibb...Stephanie
Ken Jeong...Venom
Donnie Wahlberg...Shane
Joe Rogan...Gale
Nat Faxon...Dave
Steffiana De La Cruz...Robin
Nick Bakay...Franky
Jackie Sandler...TGIF Waitress
Nicholas Turturro...Manny (as Nick Turturro)


One very interesting information for you : Sylvester Stallone voiced Joe the Lion :). Hahahaha, can you imagine?!

The Ramb- Fine, you get the idea. It's just hilarious :). Also, Adam Sandler was the producer of the movie :)

Review of the movie :
The Zookeeper 2011 was a decent movie. It has a very very average plot. The movie line was pretty predictable where you will guess that he would change himself for another person and then finally realized that's not who he should be and went for another person instead. Hmph. Typical storyline, don't you think? It was indeed very funny, for the actions and the sentences that were chosen to be spoken. I laughed out loud pretty much. However, if you're into movie that has unique storyline, this might not be the movie of your choice. Instead, if you want to seek for entertainment and have a good laugh, this would be a good choice. I wouldn't say this movie would be significant to me and I'll probably just forget this in a few month's time. Honestly speaking, at least I laughed. It wasn't worth of my $$ for the tickets, I'd pretty much prefer to watch it online if I was given a choice to rewind the time.

Funny porcupine scene.


Funny gorilla scene :P
