About The Dark Knight

Today I'm got to blog about things which I missed out. The first thing is of cause this blockbuster movie - The Dark Knight. Which has grossed more than $900 million, reaching "international blockbuster" status. It also become only the second film in history after Titanic to cross the half-billion-dollar domestic milestone, as well as the first and only film of the 2000's decade. In his latest film collaboration, Giorgio Armani has brought his signature style to the character of Bruce Wayne in director Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated action drama The Dark Knight.

For the production, Giorgio Armani worked in partnership with acclaimed costume designer Lindy Hemming, who won an Academy Award for her costume designs for Topsy-Turvy.

Giorgio Armani said, “As a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure client, Bruce Wayne is demonstrating his status as a discriminating and sophisticated connoisseur of fine fashion, while also showing he has individual taste. It is also fitting that I should be dressing a superhero this year, as I am pleased to have chaired the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, last May.”

As Batman’s alter ego Bruce Wayne, The Dark Knight star Christian Bale wears Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure. A still from the film featuring Bruce Wayne in a suit from this collection is the visual for a world-wide Giorgio Armani advertising campaign coinciding with the release of the film. Mr. Wayne’s elegant wardrobe includes single-breasted, three-button suits in a variety of fabrics, single-breasted tuxedos, and black wool coats, each featuring the traditional customized owner’s label—in this case, Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne.

Costume designer Lindy Hemming said, “For the character Bruce Wayne, Chris Nolan and I wanted an expensively elegant tailored look, to contrast with his Batman persona. We felt that the Giorgio Armani brand was emblematic of the contemporary classic look that I hoped to create. I think Christian looks edgy and cool, and I feel that their tailoring beautifully realized our vision.”

Giorgio Armani has been on the forefront of creating wardrobes for major motion pictures since he pioneered the movement by dressing Richard Gere in American Gigolo in 1980. Since then, many films have incorporated designs by Armani, including Shaft, Primal Fear, The Untouchables, Gattaca, Stealing Beauty, Double Jeopardy, The Tuxedo, De-Lovely, A Good Year, and Ocean’s Thirteen.

The Dark Knight is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production, a Christopher Nolan film.

I'm Free

Yes. Officially free from exam period but still got something to do. Before saying why I still tied on something, the exam is still okey. First day is my Moral, which I think is still okey but just hope to pass that's all. Then my second paper is the Thinking Technique which I need to used up all my brain cells to think and answer the paper. Basically this paper is fine to me while when I met my lecturer on Friday, he told me the result is still ok but not satisfying and no one fail so far, the lowest is grade C. Gosh!!!!! Third paper was my Web Page Design paper, well, this paper I think is kind of "theoritical" , I also simply answered it. Then my Communication Law paper, this is the paper I kind of disappointed cause I didn't read carefully that the first publisher for the book is in Malaysia!!!! then the rest of the question is still fine and can answer. Basically Comm. Law paper is just that you need to copy the answer into the answer sheet from the Acts. Lastly is my Animation which concluded my exam and this semester. I think this paper seriously SUCKS!!!! I also answered a few lines for each questions for Section B which 3 choose 2. While the Section A, I still managed to answer all except one last question which is asking us how to compile the animation into a DVD. The only answer I gave in one line is that: - Insert the DVD in and start to compile the material and burn it. haha. While the tips is NOT EVEN 80% correct. Well, I told my thinking technique lecturer, he was so shocked and said this shouldn't be happening and told me that the lecturer is just trying to fail the students. God Damm It!!!! Only hope for the best for all the subjects. Secondly, even some of the things she set the question didn't learn before which I do look thru the notes after the exam. Fuck!!!!

Thing that tied me down from freedom is my Final Year Project (FYP). My supervisor (which is also my Thinking Technique lecturer) asked me to do Chap 1 till 3 only show him (supposingly is end of this semester) but then it's like just bit my bit for Chap 1 and 2 while 3 is methodology and I have to read the Wimmer and Dominic book in obtain to write my Chap 3. Shit!!!! All of it is reading. Whenever I met my supervisor, and explain to him about my progress, he told me to take my time. Now it's already end of the semester and he still telling me this. And ask me to submit to him all 3 Chaps. Sigh. NO MOTIVATION AT ALL. No choice gonna make myself HARDER.

Accidentally Saw It (18SX)

18SX, For audiences aged 18 or over only. Film contains elements of sex that are not excessive.Is it true? I think should be rate as U because a U-rated picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of "Rating Board", would offend parents whose younger children view the picture. The U rating is not a "certificate of approval", nor does it signify a "children's" picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in U-rated picture. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the picture.

This is a photo which I took in SS2 on Monday while Audrey and I went to the night market. It is actually a restaurant's ambient. I know this thing has been there since they open this restaurant. But I don't know from this angle is really a HUGE DICK!!!!Haha. Anyway, will go and pay a visit to the restaurant and taste the food. I wonder what kind of food they serve. Any pole dancing girls??? Hehe. =)

This song is about MY DICK from Mickey Avalon and no pussy (of cause there's a song for pussy) but today's post is about dick. Please CLICK on it and LISTEN....it's a COOL song which I know it from Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay...Hehe

Shrimpssssssss

Today I'm not going to talk about this movie which won in the Oscar award for his best actor - Tom Hanks. Instead it's him who opened the shop (I mean inside the sotry). Recently me and Bryan been to this restaurant and market at the The Curve called Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. This is an international restaurant. As we know that Forest Gump promised his friend Bubba (if not mistaken is pronounced as Bubble) to open a shrimp restaurant because Bubba's family use to catch shrimps and sell it while his mother always serve people. Finally Gump did it!!!! and he is really a good friend who kept his promise and open the restaurant. Further your reading before you step inside the restaurant.

Before we enter the restaurant, this is the thing that welcome us. It is from the first scene which Forest is waiting for the bus and he told his stories to everyone who waited during that time.

Then when we stepped into, the decor was seriously marvelous and it was based on the movie to create this place out....thanks to those staffs who served us that day and allowed us to take pictures to update this blog.

Well, we didn't choose our seats because all of it are very nice and well decorated and we just sit in front of the main door which is underneath these toys.....Cute right??? hehe. The most memorable quotes from the movie is this "She was my most special friend. My only friend" if you remember the movie that the girl called Jenny that Forest. It's a very sweet phrase!!!!

Things that's on the table....

A menu is a MUST then we got a ping pong pad (is also a menu....really CREATIVE) which in the movie told us that Forest participated in a ping pong competition that he beat the Chinese team. haha. While if you need Tobasco, chili sauce, ketchup, tissue napkin are all inside the tin bucket.

Rules inside the restaurant. Just check out!!!!

If you need any assistant, you just have to turn the plate which is labeled STOP FOREST STOP. While if you don't need them, just turn it over to RUN FOREST RUN. In the movie, Jenny always ask Forest to run for his life. When he was young, his leg got problem, until one day he met some bullies and the only thing that Jenny could do is ask him to run. So all the way he run back to his home and you can see the screws that was stick into his leg all broke. That's how he got better.

Dishes and drinks we had....





The first one is the Hush Pups (a.ka. Shrimps balls), then Cajun Shrimp (the most tasty one with the garlic bread and sauce with shrimps on it) and lastly is the 3 different flavors Shrimper's Heaven (one is just cold shrimps, spicy one and the coconut one)



I can't remember which is which (Lotsa Lava and Run Forest Run)

After we had the meal, we don't know there is another floor which is upstairs. Then we went and found out, the concept of decoration is much more different from downstairs.

(The phrase on the wall also a very famous in the movie which Forest mother told him: "MAMA ALWAYS SAID LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET" This was also printed on the receipt when I got it.



Lastly and once again we would like to thank the assistants that assisted us. =)

P/S: They also told us soon there will be another branch. You also could purchase some souvenier for memories before you left.

Mid-Autumn Festival

2007 -2008

Last Sunday was the festival. Nothing special. I've been celebrating alone every year. I've missed the lanterns that hang on the big tree and the children smile when they are playing on it. Parents and grandparents praying to the moon. The folklore that we always hear. Now things have change, kids no longer play with it or listen to the folklore. Thanks to the education that government provide us. I can't really recall there's this local chinese group sing the song. If I can find it, I will try to upload it. About that Sunday, I went to Ikea for lunch. Then had my tea time at Starbucks, The Curve and bought one box of premium moon cakes which consist of four types of flavor, Tiramisu, Berries Cheese, Latte, and Green Tea Chocolate. I've try to buy and taste it last year but I don't have the chance. Well the packaging for last year is much more nicer then this year. It's a wooden traditional box. This year one is like....*don't know how to describe it", althought Purple is my fav color. Haha. They had promotion, buy one box free another box. The normal price is Rm118 but if got the One World Card, then it's just Rm98. So, I bought one and another one is for Bryan, of cause we share the price. But I did not check what flavor I got until I got home only realized i got two extra Berries Cheese. So besides that, we went to Cathay and catch up a movie - Halloween. Hells know, no one queeing at all!!!!! I guess some Muslim friends are busy breaking fast. Considered very lucky!!!!

The Tiramisu one is the BEST among all!!!!

7 Years Ago

Above is an ads which I found it and I think it is very meaningful.

I still remember vividly on this day. It was a very sunny day and I was sitting in front of the car seat and was tuning into MY FM. When the news 9am announce saying that NYC World Trade Center (WTC) was attacked by terrorist, I was so shocked! So does my mum. How on earth got such an inhuman maniac to caused such thing. The northern facade tower was crashed by American Airlines Flight 11 at 846am (Eastern Time). After I got off to grandma's house, I quickly rushed into the living room and grabbed the remote and turn into CNN and the newscaster were talking and you can see the picture clearly how the plane crash into that building. 17 minutes later, at 903am, a second team of hijackers crashed United Airlines 175 into the South Tower, which collapsed and disintegrated at 959am. You can see it's like a giant falling down. And you could see everyone stay nearby that area are covered with dust and people are searching for survivors. My heart was suddenly pain and was pity with those people. How could this thing happened to Americans? I just pray hard there were survivors. The whole day, CNN is reporting and showing the pictures of this. It's really sad and I do understand they were angry about it.

At the time of the incident, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed in the massacre, as on any given day upwards of 50,000 people could be inside the towers. Ultimately, 2,749 death certificates were filed relating to the 9/11 attacks, as of May 23, 2007. Of these, 1,614 (59%) were identified from recovered physical remains. 343 of these deaths were New York City Firemen, 84 were Port Authority Employees, of whom 37 were Police. Another 23 were New York City Police. Of all the people who were still in the towers when they collapsed only 20 of these people were pulled out alive. Morgan Stanley was the largest tenant in the WTC, with approximately 2,500 employees in the South Tower and 1,000 in the North Tower.For the following 8½ months, the WTC site cleanup and recovery continued 24 hours a day and involved thousands of workers.

Besides WTC, the other hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 77 and at 937am, the jetliner was deliberately crashed into the west side of the Pentagon. All 64 people on the airliner were killed as well as 125 people who were in the building. The impact of the plane severely damaged the structure of the building and caused its partial collapse.

Then the fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset Country, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight attendants attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington DC. There are no known survivors from any of the flight.

Although sadness and pain always brings us down. This is a song from the motion picture, World Trade Center that I would like to share with you guys out there. When I first listen to it, the feeling is that it encourage everyone to stand up. No matter what happens, just keep on moving. It's really beautifully created by Craig Armstrong.

Before I end this chapter, this has become part of the history and also reminds to the world that everyone of us should stand up and fight against terrorism. I also do wish that Americans could be strong again and those who died, we will always and deeply miss you there. May God Bless You and also Americans.
