Grand Opening of Super Sony Centre at One Utama

This is NOT a paid post.

Grand Opening of  Super Sony Centre at One Utama

Last Friday, I was invited to the Grand Opening of Malaysia's 1st BLU RAY WORLD & Best Denki Sony Centre. Thanks to Katherine from MediaMax.

It started off with the speeches by the Japanese officials, representatives from MediaMax, One Utama etc. Ok I'll leave the coverage of the boring speeches to the newspapers, for my blog, let's move on the next agenda.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the Grand Opening of Super Sony Centre at One Utama

Here comes the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Nowadays, a LCD TV is on every household's home entertainment wanted list. Having a LCD TV together with a PS3 would be PERFECT!

Sony Blu-Ray World

I personally love high resolution videos. When the Blu-Ray format was first launched, I remember surfing the whole net to get samples of the quality. I even downloaded some Blu-Ray rip torrent of some movies. They were all awesome. The clarity of the video allows you to even judge the texture of surfaces without stressing your eyes. MediaMax have now released 66 Blu-Ray movie titles from Sony Pictures Home entertainment. They are planning to release 3 new titles every month.

According to Jamie Tiong from MediaMax.com, the Blu-Ray movie sales increased from the initial 500pcs/month to 1000pcs/month. Their target is to have 10,000pcs sold in 2008. I personally think that the sales is still low because of the pricing. A piece of Blur-Ray movie disc is priced at RM149.90. Due to its impeccable quality, it is inevitable to have such a pricing, but it is still few times cheaper than the once almighty Laser Disc was launched 3 decades ago.

That is not all. The Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player cost around 4k which is only affordable to the upper class income group. I'd rather buy a Playstation 3 that can play Blu-Ray movies as well as Blu-Ray games which are awesome!

The cute lego decorations caught my attention while I was looking at the HD video cameras.

"Satu Rumah Satu Blu-Ray", when is that happening? We'll see...

A bastard without an Ass

Sorry to Nigel for not going to the blogger movie outing with him. I had commitments for the Student Council in my college. I went to survey the site of the sports carnival that is going to happen next month.After that we went to Mid Valley to check out the stuffs that we need to buy for the non-sports events.

Note: Foreigners in APIIT tend to recognise Mid Valley as Megamall and they're not wrong. It's suppose to be Mid Valley Megamall but then there are so many megamalls over here, so try to say Mid Valley and the taxi driver will understand it.

Spent 40 minutes just to find a parking lot in Keat Hoe's car. There were these barbaric beings that snatches our spots. I seriously advise people out there not to drive a car to Mid Valley on wekeends around lunch time. Being stressed out in the car for 40 minutes isn't healthy!

a bastard without an ass

I bought this bread in the supermarket there and it's name is the best term to describe those beings.

BATARD - A bastard without an 's'.WITHOUT AN ASS!

"Batard" is the French word for the English "bastard".1 In both languages, these words refer to illegitimacy, or what Dictionary.com states as "something of irregular, inferior, or dubious origin."

Batard (emphasis on the -tard) in bread circles refers to an inferior baguette, typically half the length and many times the width of a classic baguette. (Traditional baguettes are about 2 inches in diameter and anywhere from 15 to 40 inches in length.) The long slender shape of a baguette maximizes the crust to bread ratio, but requires more time and labor to achieve than its squat batard cousin
