Gold Coast, Bagan Lalang?

Did you know that Bagan Lalang is now called Goldcoast????... sheesh!!! how original wan......

Anyway a bunch of us vw beetle owners and a few other classic car owners took a drive to Bagan Lalang last Sunday.... oh wait do you guys even know where Bagan Lalang is? :) Well, if you dont,.. it is a coastal area just after Sepang Town.... Dont know where Sepang is? ... You know F1 Sepang Circuit right?...... aaaaaa thats right! its some what a whiles way from there...

It was such a hot day... but of cos it rained like nobodies business later in the evening... luckily i was already back home by then....

i have visited Bagan Lalang almost a decade ago.... and boy has it changed.... it used to be a nice quiet place .... the beach wasnt that great but broad ...and the water was not too nice either.... but it was a great place for a picnic...... there was a restaurant there which was famous for its 'Ikan Bakar' (Grilled Fish) and the sea food wasnt bad either....

So yeah ... now ...almost ten years later.... they are calling it Goldcoast.... and they are building a stretch of water villas on stilts...... there goes the neighbourhood lah.... the place was packed with visitors .... the roads are alot better now but its jammed with cars... maybe it was packed because it was a sunday...... there are alot of new stalls and food courts along the stretch.... but the food really sucked!!! this is according to others lah because my food never came... but somehow i wasnt to hungry even thought i didnt have breakfast either... .... .... sigh!!! it was sad lah... i really hope this place is not ruined further by stupid humans who only know how to leave rubbish wherever they go......

I only noticed that plastic bottle after view this on the screen...sheesh!!

The piling being laid out for the Palm Tree Resort.... sigh!!

There was something serene but disturbing about watching this kite fly.... i cant seem to pin point it........ but it sure did remained me of someone........ Fi.... this one's for you....

an illustration of the The Gold Coast Palm Tree Resort once its completed.... hmmmm doesnt look like that Dubai thing right.....

below is a slideshow of the BUGgers & AMC club drive to Bagan Lalang.......

ZOOM

Bren just got himself an entry level SLR (Nikon D40) and since he is on a break from class we went out for a photohunt at the parks in TTDI.....

It was also the most shots i had taken with the 70-300mm zoom lense .... got many good shots with it... Bren pretty much had the zoom lense on (thats him on the left with it).... thing is you really really need to keep a steady hand while using it....





To those who are using a compact camera, 300mm is about 10x zoom...

Here are some of my favourite shots taken that day with this lense....






Here's a shot bren took... this little fellow sure runs fast...

Lucky to get some Sunshine on the 3:10 to Yuma

At last a good western... i havent seen a good western since Tomstone and Unforgiven ... 3:10 to Yuma was interesting and it kept me on my toes but glued to my seat. The cast, all of them...were excellent in their roles... 7.5/10 for me... It was well made



Talking about well made... Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind was well made.... I felt that The Idea of the movie (Story) was very well filmed... simple yet complexed... just like life.... and luck has nothing to do about it... 7/10



You know, i really loved the new James Bond movie Casino Royal ... it was an excellent movie actually... but there was one thing i didnt like about it and it is how they filmed the main poker game in the movie... i didnt have a sense of the game... of cos u could say the game was not the main focus.... hmmm but i think it shld have been a little bit more meaningful .... There are good movies which show poker in its best form... one of the best was Maverick ... but last year i did watch Lucky You, a poker movie with a romantic twist... it was pretty much formula filming but bit different.... good for a Saturday afternoon tv viewing... but somewhere in the middle it was a abit of a tug of war between romantic movie and poker rookie coming of age movie.... but good anyway 5.5/10
