Beauty and The Beast on CW : Should They ReNew or Cancelled?

So the title says it all. Beauty and the beast. Well, this isn't the fairytale of Belle and the beast but this is a Sci-Fi series which was new to CW. It started airing on 2012 and it's halfway through season 2.

                      

I recently came across it so I started watching it. It's not really a fairytale story anymore. It's about a guy name Vincent Keller who enlisted as a soldiers and became an experiment to create super soldiers. This experiment were done by Muirfield. Well, these scientists alter their DNA so they become faster and stronger. Their DNA now consist of cross spesies DNA. These soldiers went out of hand turning to beasts that was hard to be controlled. The experiment were cancelled and all those who was involved was killed. Vincent survived it and went into hiding. 

Even though he was a beast, he used it to his advantage to help people. One of it was to save Catherine Chandler when she was younger. Muirfield killed her mum in front of her but lucky for her Vincent was there to keep her safe. She then become a cop to hunt her mum's killer which she then meet Vincent again 10 years later. She was desperate for answer and started asking Vincent to helped her. Somehow he did not push her away and they ended up falling in love. They started solving crimes together while Muirfield was hunting them both. 

Season 1, it was really romantic. The dance, the rooftop and I love how they are both in action fighting. It's kinda cute in a way. It does get a bit annoying when they repeat lines of how Catherine was always saying 'all I want is to be with you' or 'you have me and that's all you need' sort of stuff. I do love it when they are together cause they are cuddly and sweet. And Catherine is sooooo pretty! 
I do think they really are a good match. Season 1 was good, it's not the type of shows where u get bored of watching. Besides all the lovey dovey things going on, we do get actions and crime to solve. It's hard to get bored of it. The saddest part for me for season 1 was Evan dying to save Catherine. He was a forensic doctor in NYPD who gave Muirfield tips on catching Vincent because he thought he was protecting Catherine. 


I also love how Catherine and Tess were partner and had their conflict. Eventhough Tess was really mad at Catherine hiding so many things from her but because she cared for her, she put her hands into their matter and try to make Cat is safe. So the story wasn't really focus on just her and Vincent.


JT was Vincent best friend and I love his character. His character reminds me of Birkoff in Nikita. The funny character who always makes jokes even in tense situation. 

Season 2 was a change of story. After Vincent was captured, they reprogram him and make him go on mission killing all other beasts. Terminating Muirfield once and for all. Turn out the mastermind behind this was Catherine's birth dad, Bon Reynolds. Vincent Lost his memory and there goes their love story and all their hardwork fighting together. 

I really did not like Tori because she was like the bad influence for Vincent and I blame her for their breakup. Season 2 Vincent was more like the terminator. Scary. There was less about their love story which was sad. 

I still think the story was good. I don't think CW should cancelled it. They cancelled secret circle after season 1. This show survived the first season. I know the ratings dropped badly for season 2. There are rumours that they would be canceling it. Nooooooooo. I don't want it to be cancel cause I love this series. Reasons they should not cancelled it:

1. They actually won this year people's choice award for favourite Sci-Fi /Fantasy TV show. Proven people do watch this shows and don't want it to be cancelled.

2. It has a good storyline and I believe it has the potential to be a hit. 

3. Kristin Kruek and Jay Ryan are actually good in their roles and I love their character in the shows. I think they deserve a chance to proof that they can do better.

                             

Not to mention Kristin Kruek actually beat Nina Dobrez and won Favourite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actress. Either way, I love both of their actress and I hope BATB can do as well as The Vampire Diaries. 
                                     
Jay Ryan (Vincent Keller) he is good looking and hot. Gotta say he has a nice body indeed :)

Honestly, this is what I think about the show. I really love it and don't want it cancelled. Those of you who haven't watch it can give it a try. :) I definitely hope CW would renew it and do not leave Season 2 hanging.

Penang Food Adventure

Mini getaway to Penang before my brothers start schooling again. Gotta say I am so excited because I haven't been here for awhile. Anyway, these are the top few favourite and famous shops I visited in Penang this time.

1. Air Itam Asam Laksa
                             
The old man above is the maker of this mouthwatering Asam laksa. He totally own it. I am usually not a fan of Asam Laksa but this is really good. I don't fancy spicy food but this bowl was good enough to keep me eating despite the burning feeling in my mouth. 

                             
The soup was thick and full of flavour with the shredded fish. There is lot of vegetables and they taste good all together. The price a bowl was RM4.00 which was reasonable. It was quickly served and there wasn't much waiting. Definitely should try this out. :)

2. Siam Road Char Kuay Teow



                  
One of my favourite food is Char Kuay Teow. This is one of the few famous Char Kuay Teow in Penang. I personally still prefer the Lorong Selamat Char Kuay Teow. The unique thing of this store which differentiate them from others is that it uses charcoal as their main source of fire. 

This plate contain variety ingredient such as the prawns, Chinese sausage, bah Yu pok (not sure what is it called in English), si ham and also vegetables. Only for RM5.50 for large The small one is RM4.00. It was a good plate of Char Kuay Teow despite it being a bit too oily. The prawn is crunchy and everything was just well done, not over cooked.

Be warned that the waiting time for it is long. I waited almost an hour before it came but for me, it was worth it as it was a good plate. If you are also looking for good coffee, you can order it at the restaurant where the food is served. They have really good coffee. :)

3. Kheng Pin Cafe 
                               
The best Lobak everrrrrr. I have been eating here for years since I was really really young. The taste has never downgrade in fact it kept on taste better. It's quite often when a store become famous, they always become less tastier but this store has never had that. 

                              
Doesn't it look good ? Have to admit my camera is not really good. But I like how he doesn't over fry it and it taste just good. Crispy and delicious. Dipping into their homemade sauce just make it perfect. Whoever goes to Penang must definitely try this out.

4. Char Kuey Teow at Lorong Selamat
                                   
The Lady Boss and her daughter in action. :) When I first went there, the lady boss was really fierce but after a few times she actually smile and was in a good. Be sure to be there after 11am if you want the Char Kuey Teow cook by her because her sister is usually cooking there before 11am.  

                  

Her Char Kuey Teow taste really good, I remember waiting for 1hr 30 minutes but if you are there early probably won't be that long. Her shrimp are big and crunchy and goes with the Kuey Teow. Although it's a bit stingy on the Chinese Sausage but you can request on adding on. The ingredient that makes is nice is that it contains a pickle vegetables called 'chai po'. It as extra taste to the Kuey Teow. Overall, I find this plate full of flavour and it's my favourite char Kuey Teow so far.

5. Hameed Pata Mee Rebus & Goreng / Mee Sotong
                                    

                                    
This is pretty far from where I stayed but decided to try something different. There was a lot people queuing for it so it should be popular. It's located near Fort Cornwallis.

Hameed Pata Mee Goreng

They have two choices, one is the mee is boiled, a bit soupy and the other one fried. However, both plate were really spicy. So those who like spicy food would probably enjoy it. I had some but because it was really spicy so I did not eat much. However, I sort of like it because when I first ate it, it was sweet and sour then only it turn spicy. I guess the sauce is sweet while it was spicy due to the sotong. My brother said it was good as he likes spicy food. The price range from RM4.00 to RM6.00 so it was quite reasonable. Definitely could give it a try.

6. Gani Famous Pasembur
                                 
Another long queue stall. This was also located near fort Cornwallis but the other food court. My brother suggested to eat Pasembur so I started googling where is good and a lot of people recommended to come here. 
Their variety of ingredient that you get to choose from. But it's better to choose what u really like and not everything because it's going to cost you a bump.
                                

                                
It does look good isn't it? It taste equally good too. It's a big plate but in about 5 minutes it was already empty. My favourite part of this dish was the nutty sauce. It was sweet and not too spicy. It goes well with the ingredient. I would suggest to pick ingredient that are actually Rojak ingredient instead of just sausages, or fishball. However, I would say it is actually expensive because that plate cost me RM26.00.

Well, I had other food but these are the ones I liked best. However, they say different have different taste so this is my personal preferences. =D

New Year Resolution

Happy New Year, People!

Out with the old, In with the New. Welcoming 2014 with open arms (despite the fact I am turning 20), curious to see what's ahead of me and what I am going experience this year. So, usually I don't have much New Year Resolution so I pretty much go through the year just hoping to score good results and living healthy together with friends and family. However, this year I actually have a list of New Year Resolution. It's sad to say that my teenager years are over. The number 2 has taken over 1 which also indicates I would start acting like an adult. Since I did not really achieve much or done much in my teens, I want to make my twenties awesome! =D

Anyway back to my new year resolution :

1. Be more of an outgoing person and starting getting active in social life. I realized last year in university I barely socialize and mostly stayed home. This year, I want it to be different, gotta start meeting more new friends and learn their cultures.

2. Be a better person that will be look up by the society. Have to get rid of all the bad habits and character of mine and start building a better personality.

3. Make sure to get good grades in my second year and maintain them.

4. My English is bad. So, I would really want to improve on that.

5. Do a student exchange program somewhere outside Australia. (my chance of getting to visiting new places, well of course, I will study and enjoy at the same time) Like they say, study hard, play equally hard!

6. Travel to as many places as I can. Fulfilling my dream of travelling around the world.

7. Being a more mature, no more being a childish girl. Time to think and act maturely!

8. Be a better daughter and friends to my friends and family.

9. Improve on my badminton, making sure I know how to smash (I will be relying on Jonathan a lot)

10. Food adventure. Taste as many good food as I can. Warning that I have to make sure to maintain my weight!

11. You Only Live Once (YOLO). Have to get the guts to go for extreme activities such as diving, parasailing, bungee jumping and cliff jumping.

12. Live life to the fullest. Whatever happens, stay positive and always think on the bright side.
'Every cloud has a silver lining' there is always be a good thing even when things go bad.

Hopefully, I would be able to achieve all these because if I do, I am pretty sure I am gonna have an awesome year ahead of me. Looking forward on what's coming! =D

Live wild and free while we are young!
