Last month Sony Malaysia finally brings in Sony PS3 Slim to Malaysia during a launch event in 1Utama. Sony Malaysia opened early bird queue for those who want to get PS3 Slim and PSPgo launch package. PS3 Slim launch package includes PS3 Slim console, 1 extra controller, 1 free games and 1 voucher. PSPgo launch package includes PSPgo console and PSN card. Some people queue up 2 days in advance before the sales start just to get RM 1000 voucher (for 1st buyer in the line) when buying PS3 Slim.

Sony Malaysia also setup demo booth for both PSPgo and PS3 Slim. The public get to try out the console. The new PS3 Slim is slimmer, lighter and bigger HDD capacity. Here is the photos from the launch event.

Last weekend there was the Bizzy Body Ambassador Search 2009/10 Grand FInal being held in Sunway Pyramid. Hong Kong actor, Suen Huen who was appointed as Spokeperson for Bizzy Body also there to witness the event. During the event, Bizzy Body hired some models to showcase their products in between the event. Here are some of the photos. I will post Suen Huen photos soon.

Last night, I was one of the few people in Malaysia and perhaps in the world to watch 2012 earlier before the movie opens to the public. It was the Premiere Screening of 2012 in Cathay Cineplex Damansara. Because of we watching earlier, there was security check before going into the movie hall. No camera phones, laptops, pdas, cameras and recorders were allowed to bring in. All of us have to deposit our phones to the deposit counter. Gosh…. it is more strict than Airport security check.

Now lets talk about the movie… I’m sure some of you watched The Day After Tomorrow before. 2012 is directed by the director of The Day After Tomorrow, Roland Emmerich. The scale of the disaster is way bigger than in The Day After Tomorrow and it is very thrilling at the second half of the movie. This movie is worth watching and of course there is always a happy ending to this disaster movie. In this movie, you can see how the Earth plates move that cause massive earthquake, tsunami, volcanic activity and shift the earth land. It is definitely the best Disaster movie of the year.  CAUTION: SPOILER AHEAD.

SPOILER

The movie starts with a group of scientists in India found out that Earth core is heating up due to a huge sun flare in 2009 (time in the movie). Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) found out about it from one of the scientists and inform the US President about it. In 2010 (time in the movie), 42 countries come out with a survival plan where several ships will be built to save the mankind from the biggest catastrophic on Earth. In order to prevent havoc, no one is allow to tell about the disaster to the public. Along the way, few people was killed because of exposing the details to the public.

In year 2012, Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a novel writer brings his kids to Yellowstone for camping but he found out the lake he used to visit is gone due to the Earth core is heating up and dry up the lake. He was stopped by military and from there he met Adrian Helmsley who now work for the White House. After the military released him, he met a guy who tell him about the world going to end and the governments are building a big space ship to save the mankind. The guy told him that he got the map of the ship location. Jackson thought he is crazy to talk about all these things.

After a series of earth quake happened in California, Jackson started to realise something is not right and what the guy told him about the world going to end is happening. He quickly get his ex-wife and children to board a plane in the airport to run away from California. In order to save his family from the disaster, he has to bring them to the space ship that the guy mentioned to him earlier which is the only hope left but he need to find out the location of the ship. So he went back to find back the guy and get the map. The location appears to be in Cho-ming, China which is very far from California.

The journey to China is not very smooth and a very bumpy one. Is he manage to get his family to China onboard the ship? Will the ship able to save mankind? Will mankind wipeout completely? How the earth change after the disaster? To know about it, be sure to catch the movie in the cinema near you.

Here is the another model who is one of the 13 finalist of DigiColor Model Search 2009, Jane Kwan. She won the title Miss Videogenic. Here is some of her photos.

Last Sunday was the DigiColor Model Search 2009 Grand Final held in Mutiara Kompleks, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur. There were 13 beautiful finalists during the final. Most of them is so beautiful and it is hard to predict who will be the winner. After few rounds of catwalk, the judges finally crowned Jean Lim as the Winner for DigiColor Model Search 2009. I only post Jean Lim photos in this post. For the 12 other finalists photos, I will post it as separate post soon. For now, enjoy the photos of Jean Lim. She also the Miss Popularity.

Next month will have a very interesting movie which I has been waiting to watch. It is 2012. It is about a very big disaster will happen to Earth on December 21, 2012 which will wipe out the entire human race.

Now Sony Pictures is having an online contest which you could win holiday to Colombo, Sri Lanka by upload an item which you want to put into a time capsule which will be useful for human after the disaster. Here is the contest page: http://www.2012.com.my. I uploaded an item to the time capsule.

What item I keep in the time capsule and why?

I keep lighter in the time capsule. Why I keep a lighter? After a disaster at such a big scale happened, most utilities service like electricity, gas pipe, telecommunication and water will be out of service. Without electricity and gas, we cannot use kettle to boil water and cook food. As we know water and food is important for human to stay alive. With LIGHTER, we can create fire to cook food and boil water. At desperate times to stay alive, food and water will be the most valuable asset. That’s why I will keep lighter in the time capsule.

2012 Movie

2012 movie is directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow). His previous disaster movies is very nice. I think this movie will be nice as well. While the world is at the end of its life, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) uses his ancient prophecies knowledge to try to make sure the human race will not totally wipe out. I’m interested to see how he will save the human race from the disaster.

Last Saturday was the finals for Lumix Star Search 2009 with 12 finalists competing.

I reached there at 12 pm and got a good spot which near enough for my 18-50mm lens. Now here is the 12 finalists:
