3D movie - up







Have you ever wondered if helium filled balloons could take you up, up and away? Who hasn't, right? Well, it turns out that at least a couple of people have actually tried it but is not me. A comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Up invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth. Up will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters.

UP- is a first ever 3D movie that i watched at cinema.
(p/s: At first my friend say want treat me. :( , at last i paid myself)

The Sire Museum Restaurant



Location King Street, Penang
Located along King Street (opposite the new Great Eastern building and across the road from Dewan Sri Pinang).
4 King Street, 10200 Penang.
Cuisine Western

Located along King Street (opposite the new Great Eastern building and across the road from Dewan Sri Pinang) is this elegant, charming restaurant serving ‘the best of Old & New World Cuisine’.
*Sire’ lulls one into reminiscing of the old English days when one with power and authority were addressed as such.*

I have a small gathering with my friend that not seen him since form 3. He came as far as Johor to vistit his 'old friend' We round around island and accidently saw this restaurent. We stoped by and go in. I immediately fell in love with the interior. High ceilings all done up in white giving it an airy spacious feeling. Dotted with blossoms and blossoms of flowers, framed artwork and stained glass.

Looking at its simple white facade, one couldn’t possibly have guessed the treasures it holds within its deep enclaves. As I moved around in the restaurant, I was invited to have a look upstairs by my friend. They have a small little mezzanine floor which holds a few tables. Thinking I had seen it all, I was puzzled about the invitation. But I looked up from the mezzanine and discovered another flight of stairs and that started my journey through the Museum part of the restaurant. I found my way up tiny staircases, revealing rooms which held old antiques and letters. And came down spiral staircases to old grand pianos, a water feature and large airy living rooms. Enthralled by its beauty, I was told that this was the first house the late tycoon Yeap Chor Ee stayed in. And all these antiques belonged to him and his family.

It is worth to get in not only food but with a free trip to a muzuem.

UOB HOTEL EQUATORIAL MELAKA ROOM CASH VOUCHER

UOB sent my father 4 of cash voucher RM555 to stay at Hotel Equatorial Melaka. Wow, Melaka hotel so expensive? i try searching on Equatorial Hotel website. This is what i found out.
NORMAL RATE

PROMOTION RATE

UOB CASH VOUCHER


here is the calculation
take deluxe room as example
normal rate: RM600
promotion rate: RM240(discount 60%)
UOB voucher: RM135 (RM690-RM555)

Although the nett price with UOB voucher is cheaper but why they increase the room rate to RM690 instead of RM600? (if RM600-RM555, only need to pay RM45) i think this is the trick that they attrack people to stay there with the RM555 cash voucher. RM555 is a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
