Transformers2 : The Cinema Attack
I hope you read The Star and that you’re holding it in your hand right now. Star Two, Pg 10, to be exact 
This came out on yesterday’s papers, so better get it quick before it gets thrown away or recycled!! Or you can check out the story online here.
I know, I know, it seems to be just a little too shiok sendiri, but the idea of my story being featured is quite exciting, even though it’s only Transformers 
I don’t know when I’ll appear on papers again. And if I do, it’s not gona be about movies again…that would so look like a self-promotion ploy lol.
It was a coincidental chain of events that started last week, when I met Niki Cheong at the Blogger ‘K’arnival at Jaya 33. Niki is a full-time journalist, also known as The Bangsar Boy, a reference to his fortnightly column in The Star. We got in touch and (I think) he read my blog post on EVo’s Believe it or not : 100 Transformers2 tickets. I’m guessing the title was too catchy to miss. Finally his colleague, Sharmila contacted me for the interview. Jeng Jeng Jeng. Thanks Niki!
An indispensible character in this story is Thong Kai. If he wasn’t crazy enough to get the 100 tickets, I would have given Jason Mumbles (holding tickets in top part of newspaper cutting) the whole page story to himself hohoho. Cannooooot…..
I was surprised that the Free pair of Hitz.fm passes took so long to find its owners. Seriously, the 100 tickets sold off faster than the free pair. What happened to the Malaysian love for free stuff?
Anyway, it finally went to Khai Ling Gymgirl and Nizam. Congrats! =) EGo & me ber-movie with them at Cineleisure on Wednesday. Aiyo this girl is sooo cute la.
Aduhai mataku ter-sepet. Cameraman what is this. Pics taken with EGo’s compact cam!
I got this big ass bag of goodies from Munchy’s, one of the sponsors, and also my lifesaver every morning. I’ve been eating Munchy’s for breakfast for 3-4 days now.
After the premier that night, I was 1000% sure that I wanted to watch it again on Saturday. The show was that awesome (to me), and I would be watching it with 99 others!
Behold, 100 tickets! Photo taken from Beverly the laughing machine.
To make sure everything went well, I had to:
1. Define the seats under me.
2. Arrange everyone to make sure they were as happy as beans in their seats.
So I did this:
HEY don’t laugh, this was necessary. Having just ONE person without a seat would be a very bad situation. Yellow is under Thong Kai, red is under me. I had to make sure that none of ReneeTay. PatrickToon, Josh.my, Mojosh, Leowazza, Ellie Missycheerio, Ah Chay, EGo, Kok Wui or friends had to sit on the floor lol.
With all things settled, Ego, Mojosh, Josh.my and me rushed from paintball practice to Midvalley on movie day!
I set my hopes high that I could take an insane group pic of 100 people. Something like this would be great..
..But I forgot that the groups would be separate and going in the hall at different times. So that means no Big-Gila-Group photo, damn. Only Small-Gila-Group photo ^^
I ain’t got no fancy blending effects for the photo-montage, but hey it’s damn chun to see these happy faces! 
My verdict on Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen :
The show was a blast, and an impressive sequel from the first installment. I’m amazed at how an age-old series from the 80s could be revived this extent to satisfy unreasonable demands of the modern audience. FX-wise, the transformation-ing was stunning. Certain scenes were stretched too long however, and humans don’t contribute much besides a whole lot of running and screaming (Megan Fox screamed ‘SAMM!!!’ and Sam screamed ‘BumbleBEE!! more than 10 times respectively throughout the show. All other humans screamed ‘Ahhhhhh!!!’ about 100 times as well). There were occasional limp jokes though, but I guess those were the light moments. The Tazer scenes were priceless HAHA.
Definitely worth watching twice. But a third time will leave me wondering if I should have spent that Rm12 on Nasi Lemak instead of the movie. Crazy Jason Mumbles watched it 8 times some more.
A little mistake that I made was not to organize a get-together dinner after the movie. As awesome as the movie was (even after the 2nd time), it was quite potong steam that the groups regrouped to their original groups and split up! Some went makan, some went home etc….Had we stuck together, we could have crashed a restaurant with our 100-Strong-Gang massive stuff wei!
After about half an hour of aimless walking, we finally decided Yoshinoya as our dinner location as and then yumcha at our most popular-for-some-reason location…Krispy Kreme hehe.
If only I brought Leowazza along. Apparently he has 2-3 dozen UNCLAIMED FREE DONUTS. Damn.
HAHAHAHAHA JOSHUA SORRY I HAD TO POST THIS!
Me, Joshua Chay, Joyce Tan, Jackie, Ian Yee, Josh.my
Donut Special : The Kumsai Donut! The name is foreign but there is much meaning to it hahaaaaa. (Hint : Separate Kumsai into two syllables)
The Jinjangs + Horny Kota Bahruians. Classic combination LOL.
I found myself mysteriously attracted to the mechandise that I saw the next day.
Optimus Prime Helmet : RM 189
Bumblebee 14” model : RM 450+ (with Cannon blast and Voice sound effects)
Sigh. One day, the kid in me will prevail and you’ll start seeing all these toys on my shelves >_<
Cheers!
