Transformer 3: Carly has killed Optimus Prime.

Recently, Everyone talk about Transformer 3: Dark of the Moon. We are really exciting about it and actually give it some expectation. Well, We are a big fan of Robots, fighting and technology. However, we think transformer should do better than robot to overcome 2 previous partS.

Got a 3D tickets at Hoyts for today, we head of with eager and excitement. However, it is a big disappointment. As a title, Carly( protagonist's love interest) is terrible, dumb, soulless and unreasonable. She is totally annoying and useless. the story is long with unnecessary scene, disconnected and contain million holes. Let's us start with why transformer 3 is terrible.

First, everyone easily recognize that the movie is separated in half. the first half has a slow pace and non-fun jokes. It's too slow until we thought this is not a transformer 3 but the love story. When you started to think where is a robot, where is a fighting, where is a "cool" stuff, you will get it in second half. Full on. No story to back up, no thing, just fighting. It is a big disappointment.

Second, Optimus prime and bumblebee are normal. Yes, they are. After 2 previous parts, the CGI and special effect do not suprise us anymore. We actually think this movie invest heavily in the effect but forget the story line. We have discussed and both agree that this movie is totally different with X-men: first class in term of a balance between CGI and story. X-men: first Class has a well balance in story and effect. the CGI actually back up and enhance the story. With transformer 3, the story and effect are 2 parallel lines.

Third, the most annoying us is Carly. Rosie Hungtington whiteley is hot - totally agree. she has a small head in her shoulder - totally agree. she is acting - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, SHE DOESN'T. Every scene that she appear, is annoying. We are not sure about Rosie, but Carly is a dumb, brainless and slut. She tried to acting hot but the appearance become a slut. Some people think she better than megan fox but we do not think so. There is NO scene, Shia and Carly give a sweet talk or look. they look like love without strings. Common, you guys should do better than wear underwear and walk around the room. This actress is terrible in every aspects.

Forth, in the big chaos, Why does Carly still wear high heel? WHATTTTTTTTTTT? how come? why? ... speechless.

We love action movie. We love Optimus Prime. We love Bumblebee. But Carly has killed it ALLLLL.

X-men: first class

All movies are first published in america and last in Australia. We do not know the reason, but we wish movies will appear in australia on the same day as another countries. Recently, while updated our Facebook, we got a lot of recommendation from friend about x-men: first class. And it's Tuesday. It's mean hoyts ticket just 10aud and it's worth.

If you watched all previous x-men movies, you will find this newest installment is different. It is the origin of Charles Xavier and magneto. We do not intend to make this post become spoiler so, we will not mention about story line here.

After the movie, what do we like about it? Apparently, it is a story line (hehe). It is more logic and it does unlock a lot things in previous part. It is totally explain how and why Xavier and magneto persue their future in different direction. The story line is clear. For some, it may be linear but in our opinion, it is easy to follow and it is great for entertainment movie.

The cgi is interesting. Not much as the previous installation but it's adequate for enjoyment. In previous version, we found that the effect and cgi seem drive the story. We found the previous x-men were just a show case of film technology. But not in this new installment. There are a nice balance between the effect and story line. All of the effect are a spice for enhancing the story.

Last but not least the actors are great. We found that magneto is more handsome and cool. He illustrate the image of the anti hero who has a thinking and consideration. Xavier is a geek who eager to learn and explore. His image seem more about scientist than the power mind old savier version. Unfortunately, moria character does not played well in this movie. Her image become a background for all mutants. We believe that her role should play more because she is a first love of Xavier.

In conclusion, x-men: first class is the greatest of x-men series in our opinion. It contain balance story and great entertainment values.

FYI: X-men: First Class

iPhone 4 - the life style

We are a fan of apple. Yes, we are. Initially, we think apple product is a luxury toy. It did not improve anything but the image of people. However, when we purchased iPhone 4 it is a totally different experience.

iPhone 4 is one of the thousand smart phone in market nowaday. So why we like iPhone 4 but not the other? We would like to give a review for iPhone 4 and discuss pros and cons of it.

First of all, the retina screen is amazing clear for mobile phone screen. It is sharper when compare with other phone and even it predecessor 3GS. We have tried different phone at jb hifi and telstra but no one could match it. The retina give iPhone 4 the resolution 960 x 640. The highest resolution at the moment. Every details that display on screen is clear and sharp.

Second, the app store is ridiculus big. Million application that make iPhone 4 is worth to have. The apps really assist me in my daily life. In term of convenient and entertainment, We must give iPhone 4 10/10. From weather broadcast to check email, Facebook, etc. Everything is in your hand.

Third, the shape of iPhone 4 is more attractive than other. This is personal preference, We like angle and square, it is different with 3GS which curve in the back.for us iPhone 4 look more neat and simple than other. And yet, We like it.

Fourth, connection with computer. Other people said, iPhone is hard to use and hard to sync with computer. You can not control single file, etc. However, when We get used to it, I found it EXTREMELY convinient. The only thing We need to do is plug my iPhone 4 in computer and wait for it sync and that's it. It is hard to manage single file, song? I agree. But mobile phone or iPod is a personal equipment. You rarely share it with other, u do not need to copy singular file. Therefore, the sync feature is more convenient for us.

Fifth, the interaction is fabulous. With other fone, it is hard to control the page or touch exactly the point in the screen. With iPhone 4 we easy to swipe, zoom, touch, point, slide, shake, etc. with high sensitive touch screen. It is comfortable and never cause us frustrated when We used it.

Well, there are couple of things apple need to improve. First, iPhone 4 cannot use flash. Yes, it is a big gap, big disadvantage for iPhone 4. Even though the third party sky fire which create the app to compensate that, we just hope that in future apple develop and include flash player in their products.

Secondly, the price is a little expensiver than other phone. Of course, we need to pay for what we want, but if apple reduce a price a little more, it may be better for us. Hehe

In conclusion, apple iPhone 4 is not a luxury toy but it is a life style. It change the daily life pattern and add more spices for our life.

FYI: apple iphone 4 16GB : 859 AUD (white/black)
Location: any apple store or carrier

Chatime - experience

To the fan of bublle tea, there is new franchise chatime in swanston street today. TODAY IS AN OPENING DAY OF CHATIME SWANSTON STREET. Yahoooooooo!!!!. New promotion buy 1 get 1 free.

We walked pass city square today and recognize the long queue on the other side. curiousity enough to get in there and find out what happen. It's a new Chatime shop in Melbourne CBD. The original in elizabeth street which sell bubble tea. Our younger sister is a big fan of this liquid, so do we. Therefore, let's go there and call out some sweet stuff.

We have red bean and green tea with pearls. The chatime drink is distinctive different from other bubble tea such as easy way or "bubble tea" in QV. It combine the traditional bubble tea with bean. It make the liquid more texture and more natural. With casual bubble tea drinker, the additional bean may not make the drink different but i believe that the fan of "sweet liquid" will shout out the different easily.

Melbourne recently is in winter, but it is not an obstacle for us to enjoy the chatime drinks. Yes, it's cold and chill but we enjoy it.

mischu - the home sick

25 Jun 2011

We heard Mischu from friend. The great place to dine in. Looking for it in Internet, we impress with the design and template. The price for entree and main course are not too expensive. Of course when u compare with other Vietnamese restaurant, the price of Mischu may higher but we still give it a try.

Come down to Mischu from Lt Bourne street, it is easy to find with the large banner in the Exhibition street. First impression is a "wow". Lay out of the shop is A mimic of Vietnamese hawker food but with a little twist. We found the place is friendly, the atmosphere is great. There are 2 sections which are indoor and outdoor. The outdoor was designed with lower seat and table. This area utilize the milk crate and wood material which is really informal but it give a great style for the shop.the indoor area is traditional seat with more music and lighting.

We decide to seat outside and order the food. This is another interesting journey in our life where we can have a true Vietnamese food. From the taste to presentation, it is Vietnamese style. We acknowledge that the ingredient in Vietnam and melbourne is totally different however, we found no different in Mischu. We tried all finger food such as rice paper roll, spring roll, dumpling, etc. But we love the spring roll the most. Usually, the spring roll in other shop use egg wrap while in Mischu they use rice paper which is most crispy. The fill inside is making with pork and vegetable. But that is not all, the fish sauce is make perfectly which bring the spring roll into another level. In addition, u can have a significant 333 beer export from Vietnamese. The taste is amazing. When u combine with the food, it is a pleasure !!!

we would recommend this place for everyone who love food, especially vietnamese cuisine. This place is not only a typical Vietnamese restaurant but it is truly a place where we found the image of Vietnamese food in middle of melbourne.
