Most anticipated movies of 2011

2010 is coming to an end and the line up of movies in 2011 seems quite interesting.

The first is The Green Hornet starring Jay Chou. Haha..he is not the greatest actor and everyone knows his english is cmi..but its his first hollywood film..so kinda curious to find out how its like.

Smurfs!! My childhood cartoon is coming to life in 3D. Enuff said.
Personally Cars was one of my least favorite Pixar films. Not sure why they decided to make a sequel. Anyway its Pixar, so it cant be that bad.

Another movie that went back on its word. The Pirates trilogy thats supposed to have ended with At World's End is back. At least Johnny Depp is back as Captain Jack Sparrow. Pity Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly is not back with him. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides...May 20th.

Transformers 2 sucks..Hopefully, the third one will redeem itself. Megan Fox is gone. Somehow the title doesnt make much sense..Dark of the Moon?

Last but not least..The final..the real end to the Harry Potter series...The Deathly Hallows Part 2. Havent catch part 1 yet..but I think it looks promising.

Avatar special edition

After months of waiting, the Avatar extended collector's edition will finally be in stores! Whee! Even though its the extended edition, its still quite lacking in special features!! I think they are saving it for the ultimate 3D edition. Damn.

One of my favorite movies in 2010 - Inception. Its DVD will be out in december too. Just in time for the holiday season.

India and Doha Trip

Went for two business trips in the months of September and October. First was mumbai and then Doha. Coming from the clean and green Singapore, India was quite a culture shock for me. The living conditions, the slums..its really like what was depicted in Slumdog millionaire. I saw kids running around the streets naked. One was poop-ing on the pavement as my car drove by. Heaps of rubbish beside where these people live. Traffic condition was terrible. It takes more than good driving skills to maneuver around in Mumbai.

Then there is Doha. A rich and fast developing country. There is construction going on everywhere. People here are rich. Some filthy rich.

Qatar bid for World Cup 2022. Results of the bid will be out in a few weeks time. Good luck!

The restaurants at the Souq Waqif. A hundred over years old market restored to its former glory. Now it is a tourist hotspot.

Souq Waqif

Las Vegas and Macau has the Venetian and Doha has the Villaggio.

Encountered some heavy fog on my way to the site. I heard Doha has its fair share of sandstorms and its alot worse than this.

The Doha city center skyline. There are lots of skyscrapers with very innovative designs. Personally I think this is something Singapore lacks.

Another cafe at the Souq Waqif

I like their residential buildings. Buidlings made from earth. Kinda cool.

Starscream

Thank you Juztin and Paul for giving me this new addition to my Transformer collection. Starscream! Now I think I shall get Megatron and a few more autobots when the transformers third series comes out. Heehee

My own Subaru Impreza

I know I have said it before..I dont need a car. Its much cheaper taking a taxi. A car is a huge liability. In the end, I have to eat my own words because I got myself one last month. I got it on my birthday..it just happened, I didnt plan for it. I guess its a 30th birthday present for myself. Its a second hand car. The main reason I bought it? I guess the price was very reasonable. Maybe I was getting tired of waiting for the ever so crowded trains and buses. I was tired of inconsiderate commuters. Tired of hearing "train is coming..train is coming...train is COMMMINGG!!! " So now to hell with all that. I get to move around in my own car and add to the carbon footprint. lol.

Back again

Its been so long since I last posted something here. I think the blog is kinda dead already. Its been such a busy time for me the past few months. So busy that I lost abit of weight. I just weighed myself. 55kg. Damn. I need to eat more. Need to go back to the gym. Need to find a purpose in life.
