Nowadays it seems a bit hard to find a good movie so I didn't expect 'Hanna' to be good... Unlike 'Wu Xia' which I'm really disappointed at, 'Hanna' brightens up my day after watching it... Is been a long time since I've watch something like this... I really like the way the director films the movie... I don't know why but I just relate director 'Joe Wright' with 'Quentin Tarantino'... There are some similarities on the way they film... Anybody feels the same???

'Saoirse Ronan' (can somebody tells me how to pronounce her name???) is an excellent actress in my opinion... She plays 'Hanna' very well and that's her name in the movie by the way... I will not reveal what the story is about but there is some slight twist in the plot but don't expect something BIG... 'Cate Blanchett' is another actress that I loved... Really talented and she really brings out the character of 'Marissa' which is a CIA agent... Highly recommended if you ask me!!!

Change my 'Victor' steering wheel to this 'Nardi'... This is one of the most sought after steering wheel on the market right now made famous by drifters!!! I like this steering a lot and it is damn hard to get a good condition used unit nowadays... Besides that, the price is not really cheap for a good condition one...

I find this steering wheel more compatible with my current car... As I consider my 'FrankenBenz' as a classic, I think it is more appropriate to fix a classic looking steering wheel on a classic car!!!

By the way, my old 'Victor' steering wheel is for sale... Message me if you are interested!!!

To be continue...

I'm really excited when I know about this movie... The reason for this is because 'Donnie Yen' one of my all time favourite martial art actor and 'Takeshi Kaneshiro' which is the only guy that I find it handsome are starring in this movie together...

The last 'Donnie Yen' movie was a disappointment and sad to say this movie is a disappointment as well... The first half of the movie is really boring while the second part is not much to shout about as well... As for the story line, I didn't find it interesting either... I'm really confuse on why they chose this name for the movie... It just doesn't seems right... I still can't make out what this movie is trying to bring out... Is this a detective movie or a martial art/kung fu movie... But it looks like the director can't decide on this either so they decided to merge the two together...

The only thing that I like about this movie is the colour... Very nice colour if you ask me and not forgetting the cute little boy!!! That's all I guess... If you insist on watching this movie, maybe try going on Wednesday in order to make it justifiable... Definitely not worth the full amount that you are going to pay on other days!!!

Finally my FrankenBenz is ready to roll!!! My first test drive ended with a BIG grin on my face!!! The moment I put my foot down I went OMG!!!!!!!!!! The power delivery is really awesome... If you ask me, I think the power delivery is actually quite smooth and no sudden burst of speed like some other turbo machine... You can definitely feel being pin down to the seat...

So now my car is definitely more powerful but the suspension is getting softer... The reason is because the 'Toyota' engine is much more heavy and it causes my tyres to scrap on the fender and it is really annoying!!! Besides that, the engine is much more powerful and the car felt somewhat wallowy... Initially when I went looking for Richard of 'Titan', he said that the custom absorber is more than enough for my old 'Merz' engine but it is better to get his adjustable kit when my car is fitted with the 'Toyota' engine... At first I wanted to save some $$$ and opted for the absorber only but it seems like I got no choice but to get the adjustable kit as well!!!

Custom fabricated adjustable kit for 'W124 Merz'...

I'm still using the original 'Merz' spring... In order to get it stiffer and lower, they cut the spring again!!! But I truly trust them because the first time I cut my spring, I'm really amaze at how well my car rides... Normally, I don't encourage people to cut their spring in order to get the lowered look but if 'Richard' of 'Titan' said it is ok, then by all means go ahead... They know what they are doing...

4 pot ATE caliper and disc fitted to my car!!!

Another view of my puny intercooler...

'Nissan Cefiro A31'... At first glance they is nothing wrong with this car but take a look at the engine bay and you will notice something different...

'Toyota 2JZ non VVTI' with a bad-ass turbine!!! I asked the owner why he decided to plonk in the 'Toyota 2JZ' and he said because this engine is powerful!!! Before this he's using the 'Nissan RB25DET' and he said that this engine is for sissy!!! Totally lack of power and he told me from experience that an original 'Toyota 1JZ' with auto transmission can smoke a RB25DET manual easily!!! No joke!!! So guess I make the right choice...

Ohh la la... What a nice view if you ask me!!!

So what is the difference before and after installing the adjustable kit??? Night and day difference is my answer... The car ride much more stiffer hence eliminating the wallowy feeling... But it is definitely not crashy... Highly recommended if you ask me but the kit is not really cheap... I guess good things doesn't come cheap!!!

To be continue...

'B&S Boutique Hotel' is another newly open hotel at 'Batu Pahat'... Recently, there are a lot of hotels opening in 'Batu Pahat'... I don't really know the reason but it seems like tourists really like 'Batu Pahat'!!!

Frankly speaking, I don't really like the name of this hotel but I'm not the owner and I'm not the one they need to please so what do they care about me??? This hotel is suppose to be a bit more high end than 'Pinetree Hotel' which I really like... But as far as decoration goes, it don't seems high end to me!!! This is suppose to be a boutique hotel but I feels like I'm in a theme park rather than a hotel with all the striking colours clashing against each others... If you ask me, this is a designer's nightmare!!! 'Pinetree' is a much better design hotel if you ask me...

But as far as food is concern, 'B&S Hotel' have the upper hand... The food is so much better compare to 'Pinetree' which sucks if you ask me (you can read back my previous post on 'Pinetree Hotel')...

Hot and cold honey lemon... Nice but a bit sweet for me... RM4.50 for either hot or cold...

Mushroom soup with garlic bread... Nothing to shout about the soup which taste like Campbell's but the garlic bread is nice... RM5.50...

Mushroom chicken chop... No comment on this as I'm not the one eating... Looks nice... RM12.00...

This grilled salmon fish is definitely much better compare to the one serve in 'Pinetree'... Some people prefer their dish to be full of gravy but I like mine to be like this... Very minimal sauce in order to bring out the original taste of the food... RM22.00 for this...

Tenderloin steak... Like the grilled salmon fish, this dish is so much better than those serve in 'Pinetree'... The meat is much more tender and juicy and the gravy doesn't cover the original taste of the beef... Really nice if you ask me... RM28.00 for this...

My cute little nephew!!!

Yucks biting his smelly blanket!!!
