Just watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows with buddies at 1Shamelin TGV. I was pissed with TGV Cinemas with the unacceptable reason for setting up higher ticket price.

The reason "WE" watch movie on Wednesday is to have a great deal movie ticket that are suppose to sell at half price. When I walked to the counter they told me is RM13/tix cause this is a blockbuster movie. Hello! Other cinemas who also screening the same movie are giving 1/2 price on Wednesday, even those small cinema also practicing so. Double standard?

I've no option to purchase it as all my friends already reached there.

Continue back to the movie.


This is the second sequel of Sherlock Holmes where Sherlock again dragged his best sidekick Dr. Watson to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. This time Holmes's older brother Mycroft Holmes helped out together.

Check out the movie trailer below;


Rate 8.5/10 Love the sense of humors of Robert Downey Jr. You guys should check this out! :)

UPDATE

I've actually blasted a tweet about TGV on the ticketing issue and theirs twitter's handler contacted me in a very short time. They have the problem resolved immediate and received a call from TGV's 1Shamelin PIC for the explanation. It was a glitch on their system. I'm very impressive with the efficiency on how they handle complaints and feedback from customers.

Good job and thumb up to TGV Cinema Malaysia's social media team.

On 19th Panasonic has launched its latest premium line of Compact Micro System Camera, LUMIX DMC-GX1 at Sunway Resort. I was lucky enough to be invited to witness the great launch event by Panasonic Malaysia.



There were 5 new products of Panasonic LUMIX were introduced and the Panasonic LUMIX-GX1 that caught my eye.




You can now own a compact camera that able to output great image quality equally with DSLR. It has a large 16 megapixel sensor with a maximum ISO up to 12,800. Now you will have no problem to shoot great photo in low light environments.

It uses a Micro Four Thirds mount which is compatible with both Panasonic and Olympus lenses having it much more variants lenses to choice including power zoom X, telephoto zoom, single focal length, wide-angle, fish-eye, macro and more.



The autofocus is remarkable fast at 0.09 second speed by simply touching the subject on the 3-inch (460k) touchscreen. Besides shooting great images it can also record 1080/60i Full-High Definition video with full-time AF in MP4 or AVCHD that can be playback on PC or other portable electronic devices without a need for conversion.

It has these two modes of cool features; Creative Control and Photo Style that let users capture precisely true-to-life images and create their own beautifully expression images.

I love the hand grip of the GX1 which I found it’s ergonomically to hold and fast auto-focus.

Ok! Enough with all the tech talk, let show you some hot babes. :P

The event was showered with 60 Miss Tourism International around the globe catwalk and posing with the new LUMIX cameras.



It’s because I’ve only attend the night event, the guests and bloggers (ME) are invited to joined a grand dinner with Ms. Tourism. YES! You heard me right!

There was a voting of Ms. Photogenic carried out that night and all the guests are given a ballot to cast vote for theirs favourite Ms. Photogenic.

Ms. Czech Republic received the most votes by the crowd and crowned as Ms. Photogenic of that event.
