The Revenant

Watched this movie during the flight to UAE last month. Well, actually I could have watched it in my previous Malaysia Airline flight to South Korea but decided not to as the subtitle has already taken up quarter of the in-flight screen. Anyway, this is a really really good movie. Probably one of the best movies I've ever watched, although it didn't win the best picture in Oscar. It won for the best cinematography and best director though. Totally agree with the judges' choice. Good acting by the main actor, Leonardo DiCaprio as well.

The movie tells about the survival of a frontiersman, after being attacked by a bear, then left by the team members, witnessing the murder of his son, and then seeks for revenge. At the end, he comes to a clear conscience that "revenge is in the Creator's hands". Kinda bit biblical. It's a dramatic yet adventurous kind of movie. Was very pleasant to follow the entire story.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
