There's a man-eating crocodile in the river of Ruzizi, and his name is Gustave. After the death of a UN volunteer, news producer Tim Manfrey and his team was despatched to civil-war zone Burundi to capture the beast and report the story, but first, they have to stay alive. This movie is based on true events, and Gustave is still at large until today.

I've always love monsters movie. You can always anticipate the plot and the monster will usually attack when the background music change. If you love "Lake Placid" or "Anaconda", you'll love this movie. I did some 'google'ing and found some interesting facts about Gustave. In the movie, Gustave is big and scary and incredibly fast but in real life, Gustave is actually much slower. Patrice Faye, a Frenchman who has lived in Burundi for about 20 years and has a keen interest in animals says this, "He is enormous. He is three times as big as the other crocodiles in Burundi. He is not very fast and cannot feed on what other crocodiles in Burundi eat - fish and small mammals. He attacks slow prey which are easy to capture.". According to Faye, Gustave is 20 feet long, weighs one ton, and is 60 years old. "One year, I followed the path he took on one of his forays and 17 people had been eaten between Kanyosha and Minago, and Kabezi and Magara." How's that for a scary thought?

The Pursuit of Happyness

This movie tells the story of Chris Gardner, a struggling single parent with a son. Chris earns his living selling the little needed medical bone density scanners. His wife left when the pressure of working double shift and catering for their family needs became too much to bare. Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the punishing despair to find happiness.

This movie is amazing. It's based on a true story with in-your-face reality of life. Audience will feel how it felt like being poor. How hard it is to make a living. I can easily relate how hard it is trying to sell a luxury item but at the same time, trying to keep cool of the fact that your very survival relies on the money from the sales.

ps: Be kind to your MLM salesperson. If they are rude to you, it's not really them. It's the desperation that's talking. Cut them some slack, please.

Eye On Malaysia @Tasik Titiwangsa

Went to the 'Eye On Malaysia' which is located at Tasik Titiwangsa. Stroke of luck, we didn't have to queue that long to get a ticket. The 'Eye On Malaysia' at 60 meters, is a giant ferris wheel and equipt with 42 gondollas. Each gondolla can fit 8 people but if there's not that many crowd, they would let in about 6 people per gondolla. Tickets are priced at RM15 for adult and RM8 for kids for a 12 minute ride. Preferably, try it at night time to have the best night view of KL. It's open until midnight during weekends.

The wheel looks like the fan on an airplane
It's a party around here
The gondollas is a bit small compared to the Eye of London
