OMG, I'm so anxious right now... I know my darling's due date is this month end but frankly speaking, I'm super duper anxious!!! Forgive me as this is my first time being a dad so a little bit of drama is forgiveable I guess...

We name our princess 'Mikayla'!!!

Pity my darling as the tummy is getting bigger and heavier as time passes... Nowadays, she's having trouble sleeping as well... But all these is worth it as our little princess is developing well... She said she felt like carrying a bowling ball in her tummy!!! :) 

Will definitely shower you with lots of love, Mikayla!!!

So grow and develop well my dear 'Mikayla'... Mummy and daddy will be waiting for you!!!

I'm very sure almost everyone knows about the iconic 'Mini' of the past... Fast forward a few years (quite a number of years in fact!!!), we have the new 'Mini' which won a lot of praises due to it's go kart like handling characteristic...

Recently, I'm privileged enough to test drive a supercharged version of the 'Mini Cooper S' (older version of the 'Cooper S') and I'm really ecstatic about it!!! There are a lot of first time for me so I'm really looking forward to it... This will be my first time driving a new 'Mini Cooper S'... Also my first time driving a supercharged car and not forgetting my first time driving a six speed manual gearbox (always wanted to try this!!!)...

So how's it like??? The handling is just superb... Steering is very direct without any lag and not forgetting the short wheelbase contributing to the agile feel to it... Damping is also spot on if you ask me... Corner almost flat and the suspension still manages to iron out almost all irregularities!!! Quite magical... The suspension never crashes and is pliant enough for everyday driving...

The supercharged engine is a gem as well... No lag at all unlike my 'FrankenBenz' (which is already quite lag free!!!)... Just point the steering and step on the accelerator and the 'Mini' sped off quite dramatically... If compare to our 'Pug', the 'Cooper S' is way more powerful!!! The gear changes is not something that I like... The throw is on the long side and the gear knob is just too BIG for my liking!!! The shift is too notchy if you ask me... No matter how bad is the shifting quality, I will still opt for a manual gearbox over any auto/twin clutch/CVT gearboxes!!! I'm a purist if you must know...

But sad to say, no matter how good is the 'Mini' I will never buy one as I don't really see the point in it... The car is small but it comes with a BIG price tag!!! And you know what is the BIGGEST problem??? I always believe the 'Mini' is a girl's car!!! So no you won't see me driving one as my daily drive... A short test drive yes, but not my everyday car!!!

I've heard of the past 'Judge Dredd' movies but never really watch one before until recently I've decided to give it a try... I'm not sure bout those before this latest 'Dredd' movie, but this one kick some serious ass!!!

The movie is violent and brutal... And the 'CG' is really impressive as well... As for the storyline, it is really straight forward but entertaining nonetheless... Frankly speaking, I never expect it to be this good... Or maybe because of my low expectation, I find it rather good??? I believe this is not the case as this new 'Dredd' is seriously good!!! Two thumbs up from me and definitely a highly recommended movie if you ask me...

Got myself two sets of rear boot rubber for my 'FrankenBenz'... The original one is in a very bad shape... In fact there is no more rubber... Just bare metal as you can see from the pic below...

After installing the 'AMG' ducktail spoiler, the whole boot became very heavy... So a lot of people tend to close it like they close other cars!!! Slam it down HARD!!! So you can imagine what happen when they do this... My heart drops to the floor when you hear the metal hit against each other!!!

 Without any rubber to absorb the impact!!!

The new boot rubber install!!! Nice...

 Oops... Out of focus shot as it is raining and I'm running for shelter!!! 

To be continue...

Finally I've upgraded my 'Galaxy Nexus' to 'Jelly Bean' which is the latest 'Android' software to date... Actually I don't plan to do the upgrade as I find it really troublesome as I need to reorganize and customize the whole phone to my liking all over again!!! 

So why do the upgrading??? Cause I was forced to!!! My previous 'Gummy Ice Cream Sandwich' ROM decided to crash after updating the 'Apex Launcher' hence making my phone useless as I can't access to anything!!!

Restore it to original 'Ice Cream Sandwich' ROM and I find it really boring and lacking customization...

My phone is currently running version 4.1.1 instead of 4.1... Which means that the version I have is one of the newest... After running the custom 'AOKP Jelly Bean' ROM for a few days, I found that the ROM is not as good as my previous 'Gummy ICS' ROM... My phone is more prone to lagging and the reception is not really stable... If you crank the brightness of your screen to the half way mark, the rate of the battery drain is just staggering!!! As for the battery drain, it can be solve easily by turning the brightness down a few notches but the lagging part is really bothering me!!! Will test out the new ROM for a few days more and decide whether to stick with it or flash it to other ROM... 

Frankly speaking this is one of the worst 'Resident Evil' movie franchise ever!!! I'm not going to beat around the bush as I don't want to waste other peoples time because they might think that this is a good movie... It is not!!! This movie sucks!!! I really don't see the point of filming it... There's no storyline at all!!! This might even be the worst movie of 2012!!! No doubt that 'Milla Jovovich' is awesome but I believe that they are purposely dragging and trying to cash in more money by making more films... I know there will be another 'Resident Evil' movie and according to the director, that will be the last... In my opinion, they should have just film that movie and skip this one... If you have watched all the 'Resident Evil' movie franchise, go ahead and watch this (luckily the movie is short!!!) and try to endure one and a half hours of pointless torture... After that, keep your finger cross that the last one will be better...

I received a SMS from 'McD' yesterday saying that they will be launching a new burger which is call 'Samurai Burger' today... As an avid 'McD' fans, I will be sure that I'm among the first to sink my teeth into it!!! And I did...

I've never heard of the 'Samurai Burger' before (not sure whether is this a common burger found in 'Japan'???) and I'm really excited about it... From the SMS, I know that the burger is beef and it comes with a new drink call 'Sakura McFizz'... Complementing the burger will be 'Katsu Curry McShaker Fries'... 

As I'm super duper hungry, double quarter pound beef patty is the way to go!!!

Doesn't look special but trust me, it is nice!!! The beef patty is dip in teriyaki sauce just like how they prepare the 'Prosperity Burger'... The sauce tasted a bit sweet and it is very flavourful creating a wonderful taste eaten with the quarter pound beef patty... In my opinion, the 'Samurai Burger' is so much better compare to 'GCB'!!! 

I'm not a BIG fans of 'McShaker Fries' as I find it often spoilt the taste of the fries... Since this is something new and I have never eaten before, I decided to give it a go... 

Surprisingly, I find the 'Katsu Curry McShaker Fries' quite nice which is something I'm not expecting... But still I find the best way to enjoy fries is with a little help from salt and pepper!!! Simple but still the best... Lastly the new 'Sakura McFizz' drink... Nothing to shout about for this and I will definitely go back to my norm which is 'Diet Coke'... 'Sakura McFizz' is just 'Sprite + Ribena'!!! 

The only downside is the cost of it... Quite expensive in my opinion as this 'Double Samurai Burger' set cost me RM18.50 during 'McValue Lunch' promo... So without 'McValue Lunch/Dinner' expect this set to cost around RM20!!! But I will definitely go back for more as this burger rocks!!!

I'm Lovin It!!!

Choosing a stroller for our little one is the most difficult decision for us to make as there are a lot of great stroller in the market... Pricing play the most important factor in this... After that we will judge it on the maneuverability and also the ease of closing and opening the stroller... My first choice to be frank is not this... As I'm a car freak, brand like 'Recaro' is definitely my first pick... Hence my first choice is the 'Recaro Akuna' stroller... The only thing stopping me from buying it is not having a deep enough pocket!!! Without discount, the 'Recaro' is retailing at a hefty price of RM2,199!!! Another reason for not getting the 'Recaro' is the weight!!! Very heavy indeed...

After the 'Recaro', we have a look at 'Quinny' and 'Peg Perego' which are very good brands also and it reflects on the pricing as well especially 'Quinny'... Those that I like is way too expensive and those that I can afford is something that I don't really like... My darling ask me to give 'Combi' a chance as I don't really like the brand... I find their stroller really flimsy (but very light indeed)!!! Tested a few and I almost bought one (luckily it was out of stock!!! if not I will definitely regret buying it!!!)... The thing that I like about 'Combi' is the weight and ease of closing and opening the stroller... But the maneuverability of 'Combi' sucks... Seems like the there are no ball bearings in the wheels and the stroller feels really fragile!!! It feels like a 'Toyota Vios' (no offence for 'Toyota Vios' owner) while the other makes feels like premium continental car!!! The difference is HUGE in terms of fit and finishing!!!

This is definitely not love at first sight for me as I really hate 'Maclaren'!!! Actually I don't hate the brand but more on the style of the stroller... I don't really like 'umbrella stroller' as I find it dangerous!!! If you put too many things on the back of the stroller, it will definitely topple over and this is not something that I like... So this is the last brand that I tested... But once I push it, the rest is history... The wheels are super duper smooth and the maneuverability is just awesome... Should have tested it earlier so that I can save those time testing all the others!!! And the best part is we got a very good deal saying us a lot of money... 

 'Techno XT' which is suitable for new born up to 20kg if I'm not mistaken...

Harness looks really racy!!!

There are a few colours for us to choose but decided to get the black one (actually we regret getting the black one!!!)... We really like the charcoal colour which is more like light grey... The reason we didn't choose that colour is the fear of cleaning it as light colour will get dirty easily...

Reflector on the wheels which is something that I like... At least I know motorist will be able to see me during the night...

Got a free foot muff when we purchase the 'Maclaren Techno XT'!!! Not really suitable for our climate here in 'Malaysia'... The only place that I can think of using it is definitely 'Genting Highlands'!!!  

I used to be an 'Apple' fan boy!!! The moment I lay my hands on the first 'iPhone', there is basically no turning back for me... I'm hooked!!! Frankly speaking, 'Apple' single-handedly change the way we look at mobile phones and this is something I'm very sure of... But after using it for around 4 years, I'm kinda sick of it because there is nothing much for you to do with it... My main gripe is the operating system... True, it is super duper easy to use but there are also a lot of limitation!!! No widgets!!! Widget is something very important to me as it makes the interface much nicer and not forgetting easier to use (this is something that I really like about 'Android')... Now come the sixth iteration of the world famous mobile phone... So does it tempt me to jump back to 'iOS' camp again??? Frankly speaking, the answer is a bloody BIG no!!! 

Look at it, what do you see??? Nothing cause it look exactly like an 'iPhone 4 or 4S albeit a wee bit longer only... We need something revolutionary as we are really bored with this outlook... Imagine looking at it for 3 generations!!! No doubt it does look solid and not forgetting premium (as with all 'Apple' products) comparing to 'Android' counterparts... Still it looks old to my eyes... If this is a new design with at least a 4.5" and above screen size, then it might be a different story altogether...

No doubt my 'Galaxy Nexus' looks cheap compare to 'iPhone' with it's all plastic construction!!! What I really like about the 'Galaxy Nexus' is the buttonless front screen!!! I hate physical button and this is the main reason I choose 'Galaxy Nexus' over other 'Android' phone in the market...

I'm very glad that I made the decision to abandon 'iOS' and turn myself to the darkside... It might be lag sometimes but this is something that I can accept as 'Android' is really much more powerful when comparing with 'iOS'... I no longer looking forward to any 'iPhone' launches from now on!!! Sad but true...
