anyway, the movie isn’t that great without the company i’m with. i agree that the movie is hilarious but if not because i sit next to natasha and near nic, i won’t have laughed that loud. in fact, we burst into laughing at all the funny scenes and we do not hold it in. phew, i’m so lucky to sit near them. that’s because jen and sue ann complains that they sit near ans he doesn’t laugh much which makes them too shy to laugh out loud. isn’t that a torture?

some scenes in the movie are too gross. i try to refrain myself from blurting out,”eww, that’s gross!” or “ewww…yeee…yucks…” or “yucks…urghh” and so on. i end up don’t have the chance to remind myself not to do that as natasha accompanies me in making those extra sound effects. we are fortunate that no one has decided to throw popcorns at us. phew, have i mention bout how lucky i am to sit next to natasha?

i know some of you may not agree but orlando bloom is just so gorgeous and cute! i’m definitely very lucky as get a good seat plus natasha happens to adore orlando too. haha, we drool at him at the same time and keep chanting orlando’s name especially when we think that he’s dead. we are so disappointed and sad. we even pray that he’s not dead in the movie. guess sitting next to a person who has the same interest as you do is extremely important for you to enjoy the whole movie.

it so happens that we sit next to each other. haha, jen is determined to sit near us the next time we are going for any movies together as she’s jealous that we laugh so loud. oops, she can hear us from her seat. we are separated by jesse and kenelm in the middle. guess we must have laugh really loud. *sticks out tongue*

after the movies, we go for yum cha session. heislyc and mthree join us. heislyc decides to give us a treat for spilling the spoilers to him. actually no, he doesn’t want to hear thsoe spoilers but we can’t refrain ourselves from talking bout the movie. it’s teh aftermath of watching a movie in a group. we are prone to talk bout the movie scenes. in a nutshell, i have a great time minus the lack of sleep. i only manage to get 3hours sleep before attending 9hours of class for the next two days. almost die of exhaustion.

the price is quite cheap given the fact tht the food portion is kinda big. for a small price, u get a big portion of food! their plates and bowls are big and so are the food. it’s worth your money to give it a try! ;) the total bill is subjected to 5% govt tax and 5% service tax.

3) How to get there
it’s a corner shop.so sorry coz unable to get a map to this place. it’s easy to spot this cafe though.

4) Description/Review

this place is alwiz crowded wif ppl esp during the weekends. its service is good as the waiters are still attentive during peak hrs, esp lunch time. many working adults visit this place during the weekends. during the weekends, the place isnt as packed as weekdays thus if u wanna spend the time wif ur family without having to scream across the table when u are chatting, it’s recommended tht u visit this face during the weekends :D


there is a variety of food available ranging frm asian food to western food to ala carte which are onli available at nite. the desserts available are assorted too! thus if u are having a headache trying to figure out which place to dine coz the company u are with wanna try different type of cuisines, juz pay this place a visit! ur prob will be solved ;)


this tomyam fried meehoon is simply delicious! it has cuttlefish too at the price of onli rm 5.60. now tht’s wat i call affordable and cheap! for a gurl like me who cant really take spicy food, this is tolerable! it’s not too spicy til i need to gulp down glasses of water juz to enjoy a thai dish. if u really fancy spicy food, u can request the waiter to inform the kitchen of tht.


mii dun really like her tomyam soup mee as it’s too sour to her liking. if u are a sour queen, oops did i juz say tht? i mean if u luv sour food and believe urself to be the queen of sour-food-eating, this dish is meant for u! ;) there are prawn, squids and oyster mushrooms. this bowl of mee is priced at rm 5.80.


karen luvs her tomyam soup meehoon lots! she thinks tht the sourness is simply marvellous! the meehoon has fully absorbed the taste of the tomyam. it’s spicy for me but not spicy for her. the verdict is urs! it’s priced at rm 5.80 too.

to quench our thirst, we order ice kacang. it’s priced at rm 3.20 each. it’s disappointing though as the ice is too coarse. it’s sweetness is juz nice but ntg to shout about though coz its taste doesnt make u wanting for more. they dun put gula melaka(palm sugar or ‘malacca sugar’ in english) to add to its taste.

kylie’s sypnosis:
this movie is based on a fantasy novel written by christopher paolini, set in a homeland named alagaesia where it was once ruled by dragon riders. one of the dragon riders who hungers for power overwhelms with greed has started a war where he and his man kill all the dragon riders. he, king galbatorix, then rules alagaesia with cruelty and instils fear in the people in order to prevent disloyalty. any disloyalty will be punished by death. as a result, a group of protestors, vardens to flee to the mountains in waiting for the predestined dragon rider to arrive and lead them for a war against the evil king baltorix and his assistant, a sorcerer named durka.

eragon, a young farm boy finds an object, rescued by arya from the hands of evil king galbatorix, which he believes to be a stone in the woods. out of curiosity, he keeps the ’stone’ until one fine day when the ’stone’, which is actually a dragon egg hatches. saphira is the name of the dragon. she only hatches when she has found her dragon rider, eragon.

eragon is being led by a former dragon rider, brom to meet vardens as eragon is the only hope for the rise of dragon riders. along the way, brom teaches eragon on handling and using the power of saphira. a tough journey is ahead of them as durka aims to stop them from joining forces with vardens.

kylie’s review:
after watching the trailer, i think that this movie has the same concept as LOTR trilogy. in fact after watching the movie in cinema, i realise that there are some differences. dont compare eragon with LOTR trilogy as yet as it wont be a fair comparison, will it?remember how dreadful it is to watch LOTR: the fellowship of the ring because much of the info is squeezed into that movie?

for many viewers, eragon may be a big disappointment, but for me, it’s ok. i’m actually looking forward to a sequel if there’s any( i believe there is as the ending indicates so *winks*). eragon is kind of different from LOTR as it doesnt have as much war and love scenes as the later.

this movie portrays the value of trust and friendship. the level of trust eragon places on murtagh, son of a betrayer named morzan and brom in leading his way to the vardens. friendships which bonds eragon, saphira and arya. the alliances with vardens to defeat durka and the king’s army.

this movie is worth watching if you are curious bout dragons and human being a team. remember not to read the novel before you watch the movie to minimise the disappointment. as predicted, the book is more detailed. just give the movie the benefit of the doubt….
