Not So Impressed

Its a typical Wednesday in Ipoh. It was a boring day with nothing much to do. So, i've decided to catch a movie with my frens.

While i was browsing through www.cinema.com.my for the latest movie reviews, one particular movie caught my attention. The movie entitled, Legion.


Pretty cool for a movie poster eh? First impression was cool as this movie is about apocalypse was started because GOD had lost faith in human. But there's an angel named Michael that opposed GOD's order to initiate apocalypse. He tried to save humanity by saving a pregnant woman whose unborn baby is the key to humanity survival.

I've read reviews about this movie prior the cinema. It says that they'll be alot of action in the movie and i'm highly anticipating it.

But, sadly my high expectation for the movie was dissapointed. The plot is somewhat ridiculous. Firstly, angels fighting using guns? Shouldn't they fight with some sort of magical power or something?

And the people possessed by angels is almost zombie-like. I felt the movie is more towards a typical zombie movie where a group of people trapped in a place they wanna defend from man-eating zombies.

Secondly, there's also no concrete reason behind why the baby borned will save humanity. If you have watched, you should know what i meant.


Lastly, during the angel fighting scene between Michael and Gabriel, the ending ended abruptly. It just end with a ridiculous twist to it. Somehow Michael that was killed by Gabrield was revived again for no apparent reason.

Well, I know that i'm not in the position to really say this is a bad movie but in my own personal opinion, this movie plot can be much more interesting if things i mention previously are taken care of.

Different people, different opinion. This movie just didnt cut for me.

Legion anyone?


p/s: this is a just a rant. I'm not converting my blog to movie review blog ;)

Review : Ten Good Japanese Restaurant

I'm back!

After been off blogging for slightly more than a month, i'm all back rejuvenated. I called it blogger's break. Some called it lazy break.

Whatever it is, all that matter now is that i'm back on track of blogging. Hopping around my hometown Ipoh in search of good food.


Normally, people associate Ipoh with its famous Bean Sprout Chicken aka nga choi kai.

Well, i'm searching for something out of the ordinary in Ipoh and it had landed me on this Japanese restaurant called Ten Good.

I've been there for a number of times and i've decided to visit the restaurant again for blogging purposes.

Lying smack in the middle of old town of Ipoh, the one-shop lot restaurant was the least likely to attract your attention. I was quite reluctant at first to step into the restaurant but curiosity push me through.

After a warm Japanese greetings by the waitress inside, i sat inside well lit compartment of wooden chair. I waste no time and starts to order.

It was a full 30mins later only the first order arrives.


It was the Seafood Rice Dinner set @ RM 25. The thing that attracts my attention is this cute little steam egg that is well decorated but the taste of this dish doesn't live up to its nice presentation.

Next up is my favourite. The sushi for 3pax @ RM 35.


I would say that the sushi very much save the reputation of this restaurant. The salmon and tuna sushi was out of this world. Way better that the overrated Sushi King i would say.

The fresh and thick salmon and tuna fish slice on top was fresh and a pleasure to be inside my mouth. The sushi was so fresh that it feels like the fish is very much still alive inside my mouth! Ok, maybe i over exaggerate abit XD but it very much live up to the fundamental of sushi requirement of freshness.


With endless free flow of green tea available, i eat and chat to the very satisfaction of myself. It was a very pleasurable experience in this restaurant and i would highly recommend people to give it a try.

The total bill cost me RM50++ but i would say it is the money well spent.
