I forgot to write this as my first post. Sorry. So here it is~ :D

Mall experience

Okay, before i start anything, im gonna inform you that I will be talking about Imax in another post. I just feel more organized doing that. :D I'm trying to be more organized in this messy life of mine. LOL.

So let's do this thing!

Anyway, I've been to time square many times already with my family and friends. I actually prefer times square more than KLCC because it is less crowded and there is no long lines to the ladies' room! Well, the place is also big enough to get you tired and there is soo many shops that i doubt you can go to every store there within a day. Unless, you are a shopaholic.

However, this time the experience of going there is a little bit different because I went there with all my coursemates and not to mention,the Dean. We went there by MMU's bus at 3.15 pm i think and arrived nearly 4 pm. After we arrived, we were allowed to go wherever we want but have to be in front of the cinema at 5.30 pm. So yay!

The first place we went was Borders! It is soo nice to be there~ It is big, plus they got a starbuck in the middle of the place and I as a frappucino lover could not help myself to buy a dark mocha frappucino there~ :D We spent about 15 min there because my friend were looking for a book. After that, we went to figurine shops because one of my friend loves figurines so much. She ordered new figurines to add to her collections. As for me, I don't collect them but i do enjoy looking at them at the shop's display window. Haha.





Look at all of those figurines. I don't even have the money to buy the cheapest one. Hahaha.

Oh well..anyway after that, we went to Mcdonalds to eat. However, with limited time left, we just take away and eat it near the cinema since there was a food court there.One thing i don't get it about the whole place is why the foodcourt is at the 10th floor?! I mean its like soo secluded that i doubt many people even wants to go there.

All in all, the mall experience is nice. :D
Definitely going there again and again and again...and again.

IMAX trip

To tell you the truth this is my second time watching at Imax theater. The first time was when I watched 2012 with my family. Actually at that time, I didn't know that it was Imax. Therefore, I'm gonna talk about how i felt when i first went into that theater. What came through my mind was that the place is big but what is weird is that the seatings were all joint together inn the middle. I wonder how the person in the middle gets out of the place because i think they need to get through alot of people just to get to the side. I thought to myself, wow..time square sure has a weird cinema but then when the 2012 movie started. I was surprised with how big the screen was. To me it was awesome especially when watching the effect part when the tsunami about to hit India in the movie 2012. O yea, 2012 was a good movie btw. :D



Anyway, enough talk about 2012. I should be talking about prince of persia! That was the movie we watched yesterday and well it is also my second time watching it. I watched it in jusco before this.I think I like watching it in Imax more than a regular movie theater. Eventhough, the format of the movie is in the normal format, the wide screen still makes it look bigger than the normal cinema screen. I noticed that the Imax screen is also a little bit curvy which i think makes all seats in the theater the best seat in house except for the front rows. Anyway, to me, the effect of the prince of persia movie is nice. The actors were good, the story is also good but i find that the ending of the story a little bit anti- climatic. The hero turns back time, no one remembers anything except for him , saves the kingdom and still gets the princess. However i'd still give it a 3 out of 5. Much better than some movies i've watched.

Imax was a great experience. I enjoyed it very much.

Review : Technology as Experience

I do agree that technology is an experience.I think technology give us the experience to learn new things about our surrounding. Not only that, it also enhance the creative minds. It helps us to be inspired and try to think of something new and exciting. As a consumer, I think technology do leave a great experience emotionally. It keeps me entertained and expect the impossible.

Based on the journal, Technology gives us four thread of experience in term of compositional,sensual,emotional, and spatio- temporal. From all of this four experience,
it can be said that technology makes us think. gives us a sense of comfort in a society, and teaches us about other people's experience. When all of this happens, we will want more of it.

Walking to Secret Recipe

It was almost 5 p.m , when my friends and I decided to walk there. Yes, walking from MMU to the secret recipe in front of the street mall. The reason we went there was because we wanted to buy a cake for our friend's birthday. So Happy Birthday to her! :D
Anyway, surprisingly it was not that tiring walking to the place. In fact, I enjoyed it. I manage to notice a lot of things around me. For example, I saw an abandon building near persiaran ceria. I actually never realized it before.I am not sure if it is an abandon building or not because it looks abandon to me.O yea,the tree looks greener,today.Is it always like that? or is it just me?

Here is the pic of the abandon building.Well,not exactly a picture because I didn't manage to take a picture of the building itself. Instead i'll show you the map to where it is.



Anyway, while walking on that pavement, I actually felt calm and time seems to move slowly. It really feels different compared to when I am riding the bus. For that moment, I felt like I don't have to worry about simple stuff like when i am riding the bus. Like I have to be alert for the next stop so that I wont miss it and end up somewhere else. While walking, I notice that the sky is really nice today. The weather was not that hot either.
So it took us about 10-20 minutes to get to secret recipe. There we bought, chocolate mud cake for our friend. Mudcake.. It taste much better than it sounds. We brought the cake back to MMU. This time we took the bus because we suddenly felt lazy to walk back.
We celebrate our friend's birthday and enjoy the cake together. The cake was delicious. It is not too chocolaty like any other chocolate cake. It was just nice. However, only a slice of it can make you full. I'd say it really worth to buy it. After from a long way of walking, it is really nice to be sitting down enjoying a slice of cake while chatting with your closest friends.

Anyway, I could not upload the pictures from my phone to the computer. For some strange reason, my phone is being ridiculous again. I will try to find a way to get the pictures and upload it as soon as possible! If not I think I will ask some of the pictures from my friends to be post here.
