Yup! Google beta released their own open-sourced web browser - Google Chrome. So, what’s so unique with it compared to IE, Mozilla Firefox or even Safari and Opera? Well, I would rather say that it is SIMPLICITY! Yes! We knew that Google.com page is simple! right? So, their idea of simplicity was stretched to this new web browser. The UI is clean… yet it is fully functionality. Also, Google Chrome supports tabs. And of course, security is still prioritized. Google Chrome is also focusing on speed and stability whereas, it was benchmarked to be faster than IE 7, Safari and Mozilla Firefox! Wow! It also has some memory efficient mechanism especially for rendering java scripts and multiple websites loaded in tabs… As a result, it improves stability as well. I think Google is really logging a serious challenge to the web browser giants! Let’s see how it goes!

P/S: Do take a look at a comic created by Google to explain in-depth of Google Chrome! More info on Google’s official blog.

UPDATAES: After a night long of testing, I found that this browser initially loads faster… Rendering websites were lightning fast as well, especially opening in multiple tabs. Another thing that catches me was the memory consumption. It eats up relatively lower amount of memory compared to Mozilla Firefox by opening the same amount of pages! OK. Tat’s all for this time. More updates would be coming up after a period of “rigid” testing. Check out some detailed testing by Lowyat.net here!

Check out the trailer of the new episode of the Fast and the Furious series… Fast and Furious!  Yeah! I like the trailer because it reflects the current situtation of “Oil and Gasoline Prices”! Haha! Cool and awesome! Reality! It’s going to be another anticipating movie next summer with new “Exotic” + “Muscle” cars to be introduced. Stay tuned to be “fueled up”!

Well… not really… It’s just that I stumbled upon and found out that AirAsia had started their own corporate blog! It’s called Just Plane Thoughts… It’s not just merely a corporate blog, but also a place where everyone can see the “inside” of AirAsia, life of dynamic AKers (AirAsia staffs) and also the most interesting part, trip reports from travellers travelling with AirAsia! Yup! I think AirAsia’a blog has one of the most creative feature where anyone can write a blog post there! Yes, it’s public! but of course must be provided with a valid AirAsia account ID (You can register at airasia.com).

Not long ago, Malaysia Airlines also publicly launched their own blog site - Living Malaysian Hospitality. The site also portraits insiders of MAS as well how MAS staffs work, travel and their lifestyle. It offers a good way for the public to know more about the airline industry and its a great marketing tool as well! In the mist of soared hiking jet fuel prices, I bet our local airlines are hoping to tap more markets, especially the online blogosphere! Anyway, take a look at these blogs! Perhaps one could find out “hot from the oven” promotions on the very first moment!

Yesterday, we went to this particular Thai Cuisine Restaurant called Amarin Heavenly Thai to try out their foods in conjunction to celebrate our friend, Dason, belated birthday.
This restaurant served like those Chinese hawker where you and your family mostly go and can order few dishes type. So, you don’t order foods for individual unless is appetizer and dessert.

So, here is the food we ordered.

Dessert

As you can see, the name looks kinda simple because I did not joint down the Thai name of the dishes. And it looks like it can be found at normal hawker center! That is a reason why cause not everyone can bare the spicyness of those dishes so we cut down on ordering those dishes.
Anyway, it is a nice place to eat as the price is quite average. Taste wise, next time just order TomYam Soup and the Curry, this two is the best!

Give it a try if you fancy curry and tomyam

After months of speculations, the final theme song for the Beijing Summer Olympics 2008 is “You and Me” <<我和你>>. The fact that is, this song has a very simple tune and lyrics, just 4 lines in Chinese or 12 lines in English. It’s the most simplest theme song ever had in the Olympics history… yet, it does the job very well in delivering the message of PEACH and HARMONY… A very peaceful song indeed… Sang by Chinese vocal Liu Huan and British soprano Sarah Brightman. Enjoy the MV!

Lyrics:

You and Me
You and me
From one world
We are family
Travel Dreams
A Thousands Miles
Meeting in Beijing
Come together
Put you hand in mine
You and me
From one world
We are family

我和你
我和你,心连心,同住地球村,
为梦想,千里行,相会在北京.
来吧! 朋友,伸出你的手,
我和你,心连心,永远一家人.

Why so serious? Ha Ha Ha Ha…

I believe many of you had watched the most anticipated movie of the year… The Dark Knight… So do I… So, how do you think of it? Well, I think that it’s a great movie to watch. The director, Christopher Nolan re-created a more realistic series of batman movies for now as the past series were quite “fantasy” a bit… The scenes and effects are really cool, especially the scene of detonating the so called “Gotham City General Hospital” building, really awesome. Character-wise, Heath Ledger pushed villians into a new level as the new Joker has a more complex characteristic, with crimes that are so evil which plays mind games with peoples. But then, the storyline is still a bit out of the taste… Perhaps the movie should have a better description towards Two Face and the fate of the Joker after being turned upside down by Batman… haha… but then…why so serious about it? Its just a movie! LOL!

Okay. This is a delayed post. About a week or two earlier, we went to Mid Valley to watch the highly anticipated chinese epic movie of the year - Red Cliff… I could say that it is an awesome movie to watch (Another was The Dark Knight which was also a great movie to watch). Excellent story… Great cast and also… Stunning movie effects… Though not so many CGI effects compared to LOTR, Start Wars etc… but the scenes were absolutely stunning. Being a “Three Kingdoms” fan, watching this movie is really enjoying.
