Secret Files: Tunguska

I LOVE THIS GAME!

.
its got a PC version, but i played the DS one lah. its basically a point and click adventure game, where you pick up items and use them to fix certain things for example, in order to move on. the plot is, the lead character who found the office wrecked and her father missing, possibly kidnapped. and she goes on to uncover the secret of the project her father was working on, and goes around the world, to rescue him.

.

game play is rather user friendly, i explored around for abt 15 minutes before i got the hang it. and the graphics are quite good. and there are video clips every now and then, cut scenes, very interesting game!

.

there are little puzzles to solve here and there, thats not the difficult part. the game is actually quite difficult. as in, remember i said you need to pick up items? yah, so on your hands, you might have things like tape, cellphone, tube, salt shaker, pizza, plastic bag, handle, long stick.. etc. i get stuck easily at times, because i duno use what on what in order to trigger a cut scene and move on. so i relied on the game FAQ, haha, but i only check it when i'm desperate. hehe. anyway, to explain how difficult it is, let me quote an example, i had to put the pizza on the dish, so that the cat will come and it. and i have to attach the tape to the cellphone, and den attach to the cat. next i have to put the salt on the pizza, so that the cat will be thirsty and will run to the kitchen to drink water. and so, the phone on her will record conversations of the man in the kitchen. HAHA! before, i didnt know what to do man!

.

i used like 5 hours of game play time, to complete the game, and when the credits came on, i was in AWE, its like WOAH HOO!! because there's a narrator that tells what happened to the characters that appeared in the game, and mostly they are funny! example, there were 2 guys in cool black suits, they bodyguards lah, and the narrator said they later opened a tailor shop and sold black suits. hahahah!! so funny, and here comes the best part, there's even NG scenes and bloopers and outtakes!!! waahahaha!!! its the first time i come across a game that has NG scenes. hahahaha!! so funny

CSI: Las Vegas...

ok, i'm running out of english tv series to watch. the new episodes of smallville are coming out really slowly, so is ghost whisperer (due to the writers' strike mths ago i guess)... so now i'm watching past episodes of CSI Las Vegas, cos i think the cast is great, and the stories are interesting (altho gruesome at times). 2 words: its COOL!

i was watching episode 5 of season 1, and Grissom's line just blew me away, at the end of it, i was like giving thumbs up and clapping my hands and going WOAH!

Scene: Grissom is searching for presence of drugs in suspect Ethan's jeep. Holding the sample in his hand, Grissom turns to Ethan...

Grissom: What do you say, Ethan? These seeds look familiar?
Ethan: (laughs) You just fished these out of your undies? Look man, if you want to take me, in take me in. But i'll be back before the party's over.
Grissom: Cos you know the law, don't you, Ethan? "Mandatory suspended sentence for first possession" Yeah?
Ethan: (smiling, very smugly, thinking he can get away) Exactly!
Grissom: Let me tell you something. You're twice the age of these kids and most of them couldn't find their asses with a map. You prey on innocent children, concocting god-knows-what from god-knows-where, selling russian roulette in a bottle and you think we came all the way out here to bust you for "possession", you dumb punk?

-a beat, pause-

Grissom: I'm gonna get you for murder. Cool?
Ethan: *speechless*


WAH, very cool!!!!!

i won't go home without you...

i like this song!!

"It's not over tonight... Just give me one more chance to make it right...
I may not make it through the night... I won't go home without you"

listening to it on repeat mode.

oh yah, 2 incidents happened today so funny i wana share. first, i was queueing at mcdonalds my house there, i already ordered liao, so i'm just waiting. (oh yah, now they take down ur orders, den ask you to move to the left, another person will get u the food, and the counter continues with the next customer. but the left side is another counter taking orders, so there's not much room to move left, you know? lol) there's this young couple, i would say.. early 20s, one is school girl guai guai look, the guy is ah beng but behaves quite timid-ly. haha. anyway, the girl did all the ordering, while the bf just have the chao kuan face.

the girl went "i want a fillet o fish meal, i don't want the DAA-DAA sauce and ve-gee-der-bers."
the staff kenna stunned. even i also went blur. its like, hello? there are no vegetables in fillet o fish!! LOL. so the staff thought she wants to add vegetables to the burger, so he asked her "which type of vegetables you want?" and points to the pictures. the girl "no, i don't want the ve-gee-der-bers", the staff got it, and key in the order and went away. den the ah beng opened his mouth, in very ah beng chinese "他讲话怪怪的" (translate: he speaks strangely) wah lau! 拜托！please loh you then talk strange man! hahaha

2nd incident, i went to buy orange juice and campbells soup at shop n save my place there. i was looking at the different brands of orange and wondering which one to get. and i saw the No Frills brand of juice. 1 Litre only $1, wah!! so good bargain! then i looked right, and saw the 2 Litres bottle of the same brand, same juice, its $3.60. *pengs* so weird.

then at the cashier, after getting back my change, i asked the cashier auntie (i always buy chips at like 11pm-12mn, and she's on the night shift so she knows me, lol. btw, the shop n save is 24 hours, woo hoo! i don't have to go to the freakin expensive 7-11)... i asked her in mandarin, the 1 Litre is $1, how come the 2L is $3.60?... den she laughed and said she also wondering the same thing! she said normally bigger bottle should be cheaper, but duno why its even more expensive so strange. hahaha!! so funny...

i miss F.R.I.E.N.D.S...

i was watching an episode of Friends last night, and i couldn't help but think, OMG i really missed this sitcom so much!!! the tv series sex and the city also got movie coming out, how come FRIENDS don't have ah? sigh...

the episode i watched was season 10, the one where the stripper cries, and this joey moment made me laughed so hard, even though already i know the punch lines and jokes, joey's expressions were just hilarious:

(scene: Joey's a guest in a gameshow, "the Pyramid")

Host: describe for joey, things you find in the refrigerator.
Joey: (to the contestant) burrha!! they might as well just give us the points.
Host: 20 seconds on the clock, ready? go!

(the answer is "cream")
Contestant: you put this in your coffee...
Joey: a spoon! your hands! your face!
Contestant: its white!
Joey: paper! snow! a GHOST!
Contestant: its heavier than milk...
Joey: a rock! a dog. the earth. (looked very pleased with himself)
Contestant: (frustrated) PASS!!!

(next word is "mayonaise")
Contestant: you put this on a sandwich...
Joey: salami, anchovies, jam!
Contestant: it's white!
Joey: paper, snow, A GHOST!!
Contestant: it's made from eggs!
Joey: chickens?
Contestant: PASS!!

(the 3rd word is "ketchup")
Contestant: you put this on a hamburger!
Joey: ketchup!
Contestant: yes!
Joey: (continues) relish!
Contestant: stop!
Joey: oh.
Host: ok, time's up! joey! you were almost on a roll there...
Joey: *smugly* yeah!

-later-

Contestant: (very angry with joey) i got a kid starting college. i've to get surgery on my knee, you just lost me ten grand!
Joey: oh, wow! i'm so sorry, ok? i promise, we'll do better next time!
Contestant: well, i will, because i won't be playing with you.
Joey: (guilty look) but hey, you know, some of those were pretty hard! like why would there be A GHOST in my fridge?

hahahaha!! joey is so stupid, and funny!

just to add sth abt D.I.E

kenneth ma's character is a senior police officer, and he has 2 trusty subordinates, their names? Michael and Jackson. hhahahahaha!!! so everytime kenneth gave instructions, its always "Michael, Jackson, 你们去..." so funny!!

now watching D.I.E.

its a HK drama, 古灵精探, the english title is D.I.E., which stands for Death Investigation Extension. quite weird, haha.. the cast includes Roger Kwok, Sonija Kwok, Kenneth Ma. i like sonija kwok, i think she's very pretty, and her acting has greatly improved over the years. i watched her 2nd tvb series, Where the Legend Begins (洛神), and i remember thinking, wah, this girl cannot act! luckily she got the looks and beauty. haha. and now, her acting is so much better. oh yah, Where the Legend Begins was a really good, but sad drama, i cried my eyes out! think i watched it when i was JC2.. hahaha!!

anyway, back to D.I.E., in brief, its a cop drama, and roger kwok's character is someone who's able to see images flash before his eyes whenever he touches the victims' belongings or some evidence. apparently, those images are signals from the victims.. so with the clues, he's able to solve cases lah. as you can tell from the title, roger kwok is very 古灵精怪, and very funny too. Sonija plays a cop woman, who's very chor lor and impulsive, quite different from her usual roles. complete opposite from her role in 3D Angels. i'm very impressed with her acting in this series. almost all the scenes with the 2 of them are hilarious, great script writing man!

also worth a mention, is Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming (马国明). he's handsome, tall. but according to TVB's producers and veterans, he doesnt have the 男主角 look and seh. thats why all his roles are supporting, he was never a lead actor before. anyway, his acting is so-so. still look abit stiff, and the way he deliver his lines are painful to watch at times. and he's so much taller than roger kwok when they stand side by side, kinda funny to see the lead actor so short. hahaha. anyway, kenneth ma's Ah Sir role very stylish. he looks so cool! but abit too much at times, cos when he interrogates his suspects, he still wears his shiny reflective silver shades. LOL. and his hair, wah, very stylish!

the drama 25 episodes, i'm on 21 now, approaching the finale liao. i read reviews that the ending was disappointing. and the producers received so much mails and complaints that they decided to air the extended version of the final episode on 18th April, with possible alternative ending. so i hope someone will upload that special episode on tudou.com haha.

.

although kenneth ma is still quite wooden to be in a leading role, his acting is much better than our own christopher lee and terrence cao. sigh. anyway, kenneth will be in the next hot wu xia drama 少年四大名捕. its based on the novel The Four Great Constables. kenneth is one of the 4 characters lah, quite leading role. so i'm looking forward to his drama, because its got Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, and Sammul Chan as the other 3 constables. and the novel had already been adapted by china and taiwan tv, so i want to see how HK's one will turn out, since its got quite big cast. haha.

It's raining, it's raining...

i love this song!

ok ok, i don't know what he's singing about. but i like the song, its a good r&b and up-tempo song, the kind that i like. i think the part where his breathing comes in.. woah, damn sexy! cos i saw his concert, and when he sang this song, his dance moves: AWESOME!!

which reminds me, i need to get justin timberlake concert dvd! his live at madison square garden dvd came out for sometime already, but i just haven't gotten it i keep forgetting!! *screams*

zhao yun...

zhao yun is my favourite character on the PS2 game, Dynasty Warriors. his powers are awesome, and is swords are all very nice. haha. so i was very excited when there's a movie about him. you know the Romance of the 3 kingdoms is a very huge story, the books are like so thick with many volumes, ALOT of characters. i only know abit of the story, from shows and games. and of cos, usually video games don't really depict the true history. hahahaha.. anyway, abt the movie, i was excited, because there's so many characters in the novel and history, and got a movie on one zhao yun! what are the odds? and because got MAGGIE Q! she's so chio and hot! got people say she sucked, because she cant speak proper mandarin. wat the hell give her a break man, she's half american and half vietnam, she's from Hawaii. cant expect her to speak good cantonese and mandarin. to think she can make a name for herself in hongkong, very good and li hai liao!

oh yah, back to the movie 3 Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon. i was quite disappointed with it. 1st, andy lau, with all due respect, was mis-cast. he doesnt have the zhao yun look. don't know what im talking abt? here's a picture of zhao yun in dynasty warrior:

ok, so now u see what i mean? andy lau is not suited at all!!! with the anime and comic book sharp features, i actually think Vanness Wu would make a good portrayal of Zhao Yun. but too bad, vanness played Guan Xing and only appeared 5mins. hahaha. i think the storyline was done quite hastily. its like after the movie ended, it made me felt: huh? that's all to zhao yun's life as a military general big shot? omg. ok, to give credits to the movie, it left me in tears right at the very end, i couldn't help but let a few tears drop. hahahaha... another good thing from the movie was... Maggie Q. i was disappointed she only appeared in the last quarter of the movie. hahahaa!!

ps: kudos to GV Bishan. i watched the 9.25pm show there, and thru the last quarter of the movie, i would say abt 11pm, there was drilling and hammering outside!!! duno where but it interrupted my movie watching!! it was so annoying. andy lau was talking abt his battles and empty life, so emotional, and THEN there's the drilling noise, loudly!! i duno i should complain or commend, cos its like its 11pm and the workers are still doing drillings??
