of their grandfathers’ impoverished times.
Apparently, there is a group of people that came together 5 years ago to call for a ban on bullfightings. As a result, “Running of the Nudes” evolved and will converge at Pamplona, Spain annually for the run to show the city that it doesn’t need to torture animals for tourism.
I had this serving of double salami with a fish cake, 2 slices of beef bacon, 2 pancakes (Item #406) which was just nice for me (RM20.50). Their tangy sauce was mixed well with my dish.
The Grilled Double Chicken Burger with pineapple ring, onions, cheese, egg (Item #504) was a bit too mouthful for my wife with the 3 pieces of pancakes (RM20.50). I also had the Mango, Berry & Ice Cream - in this case it was vanilla flavour (RM12.50) to quench my thirst. Creamy and thick, that's good. We ordered another dish for our son/daugther to share it out which has salami, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, pancakes & chips (RM17.50). I have to move my butts to finish off their plate too so as not to waste food. The chips, being their favourite, had disappeared long time from their plate before I decided to help out. Have to do more workouts due to additional food intake during my break in KL.
We chose the Treasure Box (RM16.50) for our dessert which comes with a number of cute small pancakes at the bottom of the plate where the toppings comprise of a a vanilla ice cream, few slices of peach, maybe 1 or 2 whole strawberries, few slices of banana, a handful of dry raisins and some small pieces of roasted walnuts thrown in. We ordered this as we saw a nice picture in its menu depicting its presentation. But it was not to be as what it was shown.

If you like MP3 players with good crispy sound with detailed keynote being played at the right tune, let me recommend you this top of the range MP3 player called BeoSound 2 produced by Bang & Olufsen. At this moment, market price for this player is around RM2,700. If you have the spare money, going for it is considered a very good investment. BeoSound 2 claimed that you cannot hear the difference from a CD, of course, if recording was done by using their newest audio system, called BeoSound 4, that lets you record from a CD or the radio (FM or optional DAB) directly onto an SD card.

This is a crab dish (abt 2kg) cooked with boiled egg yoke of a salted egg. The egg yoke has stucked onto the crab shells but it's tasty and the saltiness of the crabs were perfect.
The following cooking style of another succulent crab dish (abt 2kg also) was mixed with marmite sauce. The taste was real good as the sauce made the meat just nice to melt in our mouth. 
Besides crab, we ordered a dish of calamari diced with butter. Fattening but tasty, who cares!
Not forgetting a dish of sweet & sour pork that was crunchy initially when it's hot.
End Game - starring Burt Reynolds, Cuba Gooding Jr & Angie Harmon. Cuba plays a personal bodyguard to the US President and was unable to prevent an unwanted assasination on the president. He just can't stomach the situation. A hardworking and nosey lady reporter found some leads and such leads were "terminated" the moment she talked to them. As she approaches Cuba, both were nearly killed too. This brought Cuba to search for clues which leads to more controversy as to who are the people behind the assasination. He can't trust many people as the Secret Service Dept was somehow involved. A suspense / thriller movie. Such scenarios could be real for the death of certain people in the political arena.

Click – starring Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale (one of the most beautiful ladies in the world), Christopher Walken & David Hasselhoff (yeah, the guy from the Knight Rider TV series). Adam, having the ambition of becoming a partner in his architect firm, drove him to neglect his family and parents. Eventually, he bumped into a gadget, a universal remote control, which could ultimately change anything/event in his life (fast forward, next chapter, mute) just like a normal TV remote control. But soon he regretted the use of it as it works intelligently according to usual clicks. Life went past him in few moments with him missing his whole life (due to too many fast forward)......... one of the better movies watched recently......
Snakes On A Plane – starring Samuel L. Jackson, Nathan Phillips, Rachel Blanchard, Julianna Margulies & Flex Alexander. An eyewitness of a murder scene was to be brought from Hawaii to Los Angeles to stand in court.

The boxes self-detonated via a small explosive device and the snakes (too many to count) wriggled their ways throughout the plane and started attacking everyone onboard………too exciting!!

Anyone has the right scenario now?

Lust, Caution is based on a short story by famed Chinese writer Eileen Chang, Lust, Caution will star Cannes best actor winner Tony Leung, Chinese-American pop star Wang Lee-Hom and mainland newcomer Tang Wei.An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he continued, he saw a 7 foot grizzly charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder, he saw that the bear was closing in on him. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him.
At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. It was then that a bright light shone upon the man and a voice came out of the sky saying: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light. "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the bear a Christian?". "Very well" said the voice. The light went out, and the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful, Amen".
