From us with love.

And, last Sunday, Mr Steak went to a movie with his brother. [Leaving Ms Pasta behind, T___T]
Okay, we are kidding. It's just that we went to different places lah. Good, Mr Steak?
Time for homework on movies. (:
What movie, you may ask?
You see it. From Paris With Love. An action movie starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, directed by Pierre Morel. The screenplay was co-written by Luc Besson.
The movie is about the personal assistant of the U.S. Ambassador, James Reese (Jonathan Rys Meyer) having a second job as a secret agent for some anonymous, who he never seen before but only gets his task through the phone calls. He has a lovely French girlfriend.
All the action starts when he received a phone call to be the driver of a guy name Wax (John Travolta). Wax was held at the custom due to the coffee cans where he brought it from the US. What is interesting here, is when they are in the car, Wax opened the cans and took out pieces of the hand gun and assemble it. James follows Wax in crime busting. He cuddled at a corner when Wax starting to fire his rounds. When he finished he told the Chinese guy," Wax on, Wax out".
On the other hand, there's a twist involve in this funny and action pack story. When Wax was invited to James's house for dinner, a phone call to his girlfriend reviewed that she was a Pakistani terrorist, and was head-shot at the dinner table. The twist is, James's French girlfriend is also one of the Pakistani terrorists where she took the picture of him and bugged the house to monitor him.
At the end of the story, the French girl was killed by James himself at the Summit where she attempts to blow up herself and with everyone that were in the building.

Below are some interesting footages one will recall watching the movie. (:

It's a nice movie with action-pack, funny, a lil twist but one downside, the movie is too too short and the ending of the story is too fast and lame. When the movie finished, what my brother said to me was that the movie was "just okay", which by definition it means just a lil above average. John Travolta play a very different role in this movie. He was funny, not like any other movies where he was serious and playing the good man part.

That's all i can say about the movie. Personally, i will give it 4/10. [Steak]

Juicy Review from Rotten Tomatoes.
The official webbie, here.
Nah, here is the trailer for your eyes.

Enjoy the movie. Or at least, the trailer.

A long ago due-d post. What to do? All the nice pictures are at Steak's laptop and am using Pasta's laptop tonight. Think we need to go get an external to put all our pictures in it. Any suggestions?
This was a brief trip to Secret Recipe @ The Spring some time ago.
[apologies for forgetting the names of the cakes as it was some time ago, no next time /laughs/]
Seeeeeecret Recipe. Sounds yummeh!
Steak's.
Pasta's.
Our drinks + cakes as starters.
Both of us really have to agree that the cakes @ Secret Recipe are great, the texture of the cake is soft and delicate enough for your taste bud, it felt like heaven, nope, you're still on ground. At least, you will really love that rich aroma taste and that thick thick "no chiplak" taste. Really!
Steak's Fish and Chips. He commented that this plater is too oily. It sickens the tummy. Poor him. Did not finish the whole plate, no worries for upset tummy. /tee-hee/
Pasta's Lasagna. /yums!/ It's worth trying, y'know? 'coz it's rich in cheese and tomato. For a cheeseholic, at least. [not for the weak tummy] This plater is also slightly over oiled. Can be uber fattening. Not something a girl wants. That's why Pasta only finished less than half and give up.
Conclusion? Secret Recipe is a better place to chill & drink rather than to have your meal there. No doubt that the cakes there are good, in fact, great(!).
Go try the cakes there and chill. (: the environment they offer is superb.
There is a few outlets in Kuching besides The Spring. Will try them all out next time.
Gotta get back to books. Ciao.
