This is the first time I review about 'The Twilight Saga'... The first time I watched 'Twilight' I was left speechless... Speechless because the movie was damn boring... The reason I felt boring was because I don't know that it was a romance movie... I though it was an action pack movie with vampires killing each other or something like that...

So I don't really understand the hype around this movie until I decided to read the story books instead... After reading then only I can fully understand about the movie... But frankly speaking I still find the movie boring... The story book was much better...

After that 'New Moon' came out and I decided to watch it since I'd started reading the story books... I find 'New Moon' much better as compared to 'Twilight'... More action which was what I preferred and actually I'm really anticipating the screening of 'Eclipse' after watching 'New Moon'... And finally the wait is over...

As usual, the third installment is more towards romance rather than action pack... Not surprising at all... I find the romance part quite boring in fact and the action part too short and the villains die to easily... Nevertheless I still prefer it over the two previous movies... I don't have to recommend this because I believe there are a lot of die hard 'Stephenie Meyer' fans out there!!! Guess is time for me to start reading 'Eclipse' story book!!!

We had buffet lunch on day 6 as well... But this time it was a bit different because this time was Chinese buffet according to our tour guide... All of us were really excited because we had not eaten Chinese food for the pass 5 days...

Once again to our disappointment the Chinese buffet was not something we had imagined... Far from it in fact... Just look at the picture and you will know why... Sushi in a Chinese restaurant??? Again we left disappointed!!!

To be comtinue...

Recently I took my Gen2 out for a spin and to the mountain we go!!! I believe Genting is the best place to test my car and also my ability... Besides that, Genting is really near to my place...

I'd change my brake hose to a steel braided type and I don't really have the time to test it out... So this trip up Genting is the perfect time for me to test it out...

Frankly speaking I'm really amazed at the handling of my Gen2... Very neutral handling with minimal understeer... Push it really hard and the tail will step out a bit in order to tighten the line... No snap oversteer as well unlike my previous Kelisa which will oversteeer in a blink of an eye when you're not gentle with the throttle... Really remarkable... Besides that, the whole car felt really agile...

So how does the steel braided hose fare??? Awesome!!! No more mushy brake pedal!!! Firm pedal is the order of the day no matter how hard I stomp on the brake pedal!!! Overall I'm really satisfied with it... Coupled the steel braided hose + R3 slotted disc brake together with R3 lowering spring and GAB absorber = DAMN NICE HANDLING!!! (Curse all the speed hump when coming down from Genting!!! Really hard to drive smoothly with all the bumps around!!!)

If you're a speed junkie like me, I highly recommend this to you... You will be amaze at how awesome it is...

This was our last stop during our Penang road trip... I'd been to 'Lou Wong' a couple of times already and yet I just can't get enough of it!!! So as usual, a stop at 'Lou Wong' was considered as mandatory whenever we went to Ipoh or Penang...

When we reached there, the shop was packed to the brim... We waited for around 5 minutes for seats and it was raining very heavily at that time!!! What really surprised me was how fast they managed to serve customers... Once seated it took around 5 minutes for our food to arrive!!! Really fast in my opinion and that's a '+' point from me...

As usual, both of us opted for 'hor fun'... The soup was really sweet and I love it but not my darling... According to her, the soup was way to sweet and she suspected a lot of MSG was being used for the soup...

Here comes the main dish... But sadly speaking, the chicken was nothing to shout about... Nothing special except for the gravy which was heavenly!!! Without the gravy, I bet you won't eat the chicken at all... The chicken was not tender nor juicy... Instead it looks and feels overcooked... Definitely not the chicken that I'm expecting... If my memory served me right, they served much better chicken last time...

I can find chicken way better than this easily... Really disappointed!!!

The bean sprout or 'nga choi' which I considered as a main dish as well... If it was not a main dish then why do we called it 'nga choi gai'???

If you asked me, I would preferred the meat/pork balls over fish balls... The meat/pork balls was so much nicer...

Another disappointing dish in my opinion... The chicken knuckle was really tasteless... Not recommended unless you're a die hard chicken knuckle fans!!!

1 bowl of 'hor fun' was definitely not enough... So another bowl of rice was the answer...

Besides that, we ordered more chicken as well... Guessed we were really hungry!!!

We were really disappointed with the chicken... Frankly speaking, I don't think I will be returning in the near future... Maybe I will try out 'Onn Kee' which is better according to a lot of people...

Overall Rating - 3/5

First destination on day 6 was the 'National Folklore Museum'... The museum was established in 1924 by a Japanese... The museum had 3 exhibition halls which illustrate 'The History of Korean People' from pre-historic times to the end of the 'Joseon Dynasty in 1910, 'The Lifestyle of The Korean People' and 'The Lifecycle of a Korean from Birth to Death'...

Nicely decorated museum gift shop...
