Password, please ?

We're locking all cartoon channels on Astro to control the kids from watching too much TV. Besides, we're just starting to teach Amir to read. One day, Amir got hold of the remote and tried his luck to break the password to unlock those channels. After he had exhausted the three attempts, it prompted "Next try in 30 minutes". I wanted to laugh at what happen next. Amir entered "30" as the password repeatedly. Finally, he gave up and asked me, "Abah, TV kata use three zero. Apasal tak boleh ?". His mother teased him, "If you can read, you'll know that's not the password."

Banyak sangat nombor, mana satu untuk password ni ?

Adibah masuk paper Star

As we're driving in Tanjong after a Roti Bakar breakfast at Hutton Lane, my wife received an SMS from her friend. "U're in The Star today". Terus carik paper and search for the article.

This is the second time Adibah masuk paper, last year pun masuk The Star on the Malaysia Babywearers event.

Adibah and my wife participated in the Babywearers' "fashion show", which was held at Little Penang Street Market across E&O Hotel last Sunday on 27 October 2009. After that, we ronda-ronda around the market. Adibah got a kiddie bracelet and necklace. We quenched our thirst with one of the best Orange Juice we ever had. Very thick pure orange with no sugar added. Someone was selling them by carrying a tray of them around the market. It reminded me of those great ideas you see in "The Apprentice". We also got the whole family photo taken.

Our Movie List

Ari ni bawak Dibah tengok her first movie, "UP". Teringat masih bawak Amir for his first movie, "Ratatouille". Abah naya kat Amir tak beli tiket untuk seat dia. Ingat tengok cite ari weekday tak ramai orang, boleh curi seat kosong. Ha..ha..nak ambik kesempatan bcoz children under 3 tak yah beli tiket. Lepas tu, mak dia je lah yang rajin bawak dia tengok wayang (i.e. Horton, Wall-E and Geng). Ari ni pasal kesian kat anak2, Abah beli lah tiket untuk semua orang.

UP : Our first family movie.

We've decided Adibah is old enough to go the cinema without annoying other movie-goers. So, we went to see "UP", our first cinema trip as a whole family. Kakak Anis and Mama tagged along since it's a school holiday. Thankfully, both Amir and Adibah did not make any big scene during the movie.

At first, I doubt a story about a flying house could better any of the previous Pixar movies but I was proven wrong. The storyline is interesting and fresh.

The talking dogs are hilarious. Plus, they can pilot old Bi-planes. I guess Ransack got his big break in this movie after being left out from "Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen". Ha..ha..ha

X-Men Origins : Wolverine

Went to see the movie last weekend. Of course, I’m going to whine a lot. I'm an X-Men fan and I've read the 6-series Origins storyline.

### SPOILER ALERT ###

What don’t I like :-
- How could you make Wolverine and Sabretooth as brothers ? I mean, I heard of sibling rivalry but not to the extent that these two always get into.
- The Weapon X program doesn’t have the covert-op feel. Come on, their only mission was to get the adamantium meteor.
- Gambit is not cool enough. The way he handle the cards is ridiculously too fancy.
- Totally mess up Deadpool, Wade is much cooler during the Lagos Ops. That's before he become Deadpool and when he talk too much. They should have let Deadpool keep the Samurai swords.
- Wolverine memory loss is due to a bullet in the brain. Wait for a minute ... didn't he got shot in the head during X-Men 2. Ahh !!! I see. This time they use an adamantium bullet. I guess Wolverine can't rely on his brother to remind him of who he is.

What do I like :-
- The intro which shows Wolverine participated in each major war (from the Civil War to the Vietnam War). Hey ... How come he never makes it as a General ?

BTW, Hasbro made a Wolverine figure that can transforms into a kinda of 4WD truck. The Transformer Wolverine drawing is from here
