Man of Steel performed well in the box office and puts Green Lantern to further shame in the DC adaptation movies

Man of Steel. Hmmmmmmm.. You know what? I just felt something amiss and I’m trying so hard to appreciate Zack Snyder’s latest work of Man of Steel. I’m still his big fan and I love his take on 300 and Watchmen. I felt dissatisfied that I even watched back the trailer “Fate of Your Planet” over and over again because that trailer was freaking good and still gives me the shivers. General Zod had that bad ass impression on the trailer but he was a major disappointment for me in MOS. For every superhero movie, to make it stands out, the villain must have such an impact with his or her on-screen’s presence to bring the best out of the movie. I just felt General Zod was a mediocre adversary at best.

The plot was something different and it was kinda expected coming from Snyder. Well, honestly, the plot was slightly different from the origins of Superman and I thought that was something refreshing. The flashback moments were alright but it could have been tighter in the story telling sense. Now Henry Cavill as the Clark Kent/Superman, he does look compatible but not much emotional chemistry formula was shown from him and perhaps Snyder could have focus more on this area. I know some of my female friends might be biased on their ratings because of Henry Cavill in tights *lol*

Sorry for all the rants but this is how I personally felt about MOS. I do, however, still enjoyed the movie experience especially on 3D IMAX in Singapore. The reviews have very mixed. Keeran and AnakBrunei gave it a thumbs up while most of my peers were disappointed. I am disappointed to an extent and it’s one of those hyped movies that I won’t watch twice in the cinema. I’m hoping for a better sequel 😀 If you haven’t caught it, I suggest you do. Verdict: 7/10 @lilmopiko 6.5/10 Billy Lim 7.5/10 @tiffanyyong 7/10 Rottentomatoes 56%.

The reason for the haze in Singapore and other countries. The hot spots from Riau (forest and plantation) in Indonesia. Image courtesy of AFP.

Woww.. This is such a bad hazy condition. I remember entering Singapore last Sunday and there was some slight haze and I thought it won’t worsen as days went by. I was wrong… The PSI readings were breaking records one after another. Two nights ago, it recorded a Singapore high then of 371 on the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) and yesterday it recorded a new all-time high of 371 by 1pm.

I’m currently staying on the level 37 at Marina Bay Sands and I have to say that my morning views gets worse and worse day by day. This morning was just terrible and once I opened the balcony sliding door, the smell of the haze was just too strong. The Prime Minister of Singapore has urged to remain calm yesterday in his press statement and he has outlined additional measures the government will take to deal with the problem.
In another interesting news, Laksono of Indonesia said Singapore should not be behaving like a child and making all this noise… Whoooaa!!! This has created some tension between the countries as the fires were coming in from Indonesia and with the help of the wind, the haze been spreading to Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. I believe Brunei has received the haze effect two days ago. I’m still in Singapore and it has affected my activities outside and I do hope during my Zombie run this October that Singapore will be haze-free 😀

For now, my suggestion is to wear a mask if you are outdoors. Oh yea, the face masks are pretty high in demand now and it’s pretty hard to get at the pharmacies or convenient stores. I have pre-booked my mask at the gift shop at MBS.. Well, you can’t really book but they will call me once the masks arrived at the shop. As of now, the PSI reading is 256 and I can even smell the haze in the corridor outside my room. That’s how bad the haze is…

We managed to relax at the Infinity Pool and it was already hazy but not as bad as two days ago

Even picture taking doesn’t look great at the infinity pool

Masks are hard to come by and it’s high on demand now

 

The crunchy flavor from Zaren Chocolatier. Now you can visit them on the 1st floor at The Airport Mall (not far from AV Electronics)

Have you tried their Brunei’s own home made chocolate? and they also sell their popular nasi lemak from their branding name Mamapah. I’ve tried the spicy rendang one and I thought it was pretty good. They have been around for many years and now they have a physical presence located on the 1st floor of the Airport Mall (not far from AV Electronics).

They served different kinds of nasi lemak and the portion is just nice, not too many, not too little. For now, you can take away the nasi lemak and the regulars would know how they taste like. They have a few flavours such as Rendang Hitam, Ayam, Biasa/Pedas and Bakulan. Now Mamapah Cafe have expanded to cater to a newer market and they also hope to create more awareness on their home made Belgium chocolates, Zaren Chocolatier.

You can check out their Facebook on Zaren Chocolatier and they are selling quite well too. So if you haven’t try them out, you can pay a visit to their store at the Airport Mall. They also provide delivery for orders more than $15 but the destination areas are within Brunei Muara district if I’m not mistaken. You can also call 822 7772 or email them at zarenchoclatier @gmail.com
