The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

I know, I know... I'm lame.

Yes, I just watched these three blockbuster movies during my study week [instead of studying].

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring [2001]

The first movie of the trilogy was screened about seven years back. I don't go for movies that often back then and even when I had the chance to go to the cinema with a friend, I wouldn't choose to watch Lord of the Rings.

Why? I just don't think it'll be nice to watch. Guessed that I was wrong then.

LOTR: The Two Towers [2002]

All the three films were connected to form a very long story. This live action fantasy epic film is all about a ring, the One Ring. And the quest of a group of people called the "Fellowship of the Ring" to bring the ring to destruction only in the lava of Mount Doom.

The evil ring has caused a lot of death, betrayal, pain and wars to the people in Middle Earth.

LOTR: The Return of the King [2003]

I really like this movie a lot because it is not only action-packed, it shows friendships, love, bravery, hope, determination and trust.

The wars are heart throbbing and exciting as the good guys were often outnumbered by the bad ones. But the spirit of not giving up always turn the table around, from a losing battle to a grand victory. So, we must never give up hope.

Who will ever forget Gollum [Sméagol], the traitor "Preh-shiusss.."


The brave one, the one and only, Frodo Baggins [played by Elijah Wood] I respect his determination to reach Mount Doom.


One of my favourite characters in the movie, Samwise "Sam" Gamgee. He's the only true companion of Frodo from beginning to the end. He's always there for his friend and ever courageous to raise a sword whenever Frodo is in danger. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Though total watching time is near to 10 hours, it is totally worth it. I can say that it is the best and most satisfying movie I've seen thus far.

People who hasn't watch it should really check it out. [but I think not many people are as lame as me to watch it only after so many years] Billy, out.

Let's Pizza

13 May 2008 @ Alamanda, Putrajaya

All of a sudden, MinBee suggested to go for a pizza dinner and Kuan said his friend recommended Luca's Pizza. So, I say let's go for it.


Luca's Pizza is a relatively new pizza fast food chain in Malaysia. It was established in 2006 by Mr. Luca and several friends.

To date, there are six outlets throughout Malaysia. One of them is situated in Alamanda, Putrajaya. Honestly, I've never heard of it until today.

They have larger bottles of Tabasco sauce

So, we ordered a set meal for 3 to 4 person. The set includes an EXTRA LARGE pizza [15"], 4 chicken wings OR tiramisu and a bottomless jug of soft drinks.


The chicken wings looks big, smells nice but it's not cooked thoroughly. Probbably because the shop is closing, at 10pm.


The flavour of our pizza is called Sandokan [chicken pastrami, beef pepperoni, pineapples, mushroom]. It was recommended by the staff as we're first-timers there. Here are the rest of the menu.

Mmm... Yummy...

The pizza is really huge! And it's full of cheese on a very thin crust.


I'd say it's the best pizza I've eaten so far, compared to other pizza outlets out there. I like the non-oily thin crust as you can really taste the ingredients on the pizza and not getting stuffed full with a thick layer of crust.

Oh, I love the cheesy-ness on the pizza as well. I like cheese!

For all pizza lovers out there, I highly recommend you to try it out. I'd definitely go again some other time when I crave for pizza. Billy, out.

The Forbidden Kingdom

7 May 2008 @ TGV, KLCC

After a boring round in Petrosains and another yawny visit to the bookstore. We went to watch the Forbidden Kingdom after a long dinner.

Some people said that it's worth a watch, others don't agree. I shall witness with my own eyes.



The story tells about an American teenager who loves chinese kung fu and was sent back to the ancient China. His mission is to get the magical fighting stick back to the Monkey King, who was imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord.



There were lots of actions and humour along the movie. Well, the fight between Jackie and JetLi was quite interesting.

Here're some pretty nice posters I found, for each main character in the movie.


Jackie was funny as usual. Especially when he bursts out an English conversation all of a sudden with the ang moh.


JetLi was a cheeky monkey. So playful all the time. This is my first time seeing JetLi playing such character, usually he's so cool in movies.


The ang moh who travelled from modern America to ancient China for a special mission.


Ah, the golden sparrow... I love to see her [LiuYiFei] in this movie. Always so calm and cool. Not to forget her lovely tune from her mandolin when she's not fighting.


The evil white haired witch. Meow with a Roar.

I just feel slightly akward with all the ancient chinese people speaking English most of the time. I'd rate it as a pretty good piece to watch. Bravo! Billy, out.
