Discovering space u8

Semalam, Rabu bersamaan dengan 11 April 2012, adalah public holiday sempena pertabalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong yang baru. Pagi yang dingin disebabkan hujan renyai menambahkan kesedapan tido...zzzzzzz. Tapi disebabkan my other half ada training futsal for this coming Saturday company event, awal-awal lagi ( awal ke kul 9...hehe) dah gerak ke USJ. Habis training tu ingat nak buat pit-stop dekat Sunway Pyramid, tapi bila tengok traffic jam dari main road ke tempat parking, maka dengan itu we swithed to Plan B.

My other half suggested we went to space u8, supposed to be the new shopping mall for warga Shah Alam. Located between Bukit Jelutong and TTDI Jaya, we were disappointed by the amount of shops opened. Sangat-sangat lah sedikit, tak boleh nak dibanggakan langsung. By the way, this is the first ever eco-friendly mall. Sempat baca dia punye info on the construction method. For normal construction, we usually used pile for foundation tapi this eco-friendly mall hanya menggunakan a few layers on TYRES to support the whole structure. Wow!! It also does not operate air-conditioning ventilation system, only the shoplots have A/C. Ermmm, what else??? Oh yess! They also have this rainwater harvesting system. For more info on this topic u can visit the mall yourselves ( mode malas nak story panjang2..hehe)

Enough about the green building topics. Nak cerita sebenarnya aktiviti yang boleh buat kat sini selain shopping disebabkan kedai pun tak banyak kan. Ada MBO cinema dan jugak play club which is the current trend for kidz. Kat sini ada satu play club ala-ala kidzania tapi dah lupa apa ke namanya..hehe. Sekali masuk kena bayar RM25.00 on public holiday and weekend dan weekdays dalam RM 15 ke RM 16, lupa jugak...sorryyyy! Times for playing is unlimited. Orang tu cakap sampai dia tutup kedai pun boleh. Lagi satu kalau nak bawak anak-anak main kat sini, kena bawak stokin sebab it is compulsary to wear socks all the time. Coming soon in May/June kalau tak silap, this play club akan bukak untuk membership. The membership price would be RM 9.00 per kids per entry mengikut apa yang dia tulis dekat list of price tu tapi kena bayar membership fee RM 200.00 for one year.

Since the price is unacceptable for us (lain kali ye anak-anak, umi dan abah belanja....)we headed our way to MBO cinema. Orang memang takdelah jam-packed macam dekat TGV or GSC. Decided to watch Battleship movie since baru tengok trailer dia malam sebelumnya dekat FMP ( fox movies premium, previously known as Star Movies) macam best....ala-ala movie Transformers pun ada. Movie tu start pukul 2.30pm so we had our Zohor prayer first. Surau space u8 ni was located behind their food court dekat Tingkat 1 and the surau is unexceptionally comfortable, besar, nice interior dan disediakan telekung yang BERSIH ( masih bersih sebab baru atau sebab orang tak ramai pakai, not sure la.  We'll see for another times macam mane).

Bila dah masuk dalam panggung tu, I was disappointed dengan tempat duduk penonton. Sangat-sangat tidak mesra penonton kanak-kanak sebab tak macam TGV or GSC, budak-budak baya Aqil and Nadhirah memang tiada masalah ketinggian untuk tengok screen bila duduk. Dekat MBO ni pulak sebaliknya. Kalau nak tengok screen kena tengok ikut celah-celah tempat dudok depan, kalau tak memang kena berdiri atas kerusi ( tapi tak boleh la kan nanti orang belakang tak nampak pulak !!) since memang tak nampak screen disebabkan tempat duduk depan agak tinggi untuk budak-budak yang menghalang direct sight. Overall, ok!

Filem Battleship tu pun bagi saya memang best...berbaloi-baloi :) Dan, no wonder 80% of the scene ada unsur-unsur filem Transfomers since filem ni dibuat dengan kerjasama HASBRO dan movie ni pon sebenarnya is based on HASBRO classic combat game dengan nama yang sama. So kepada peminat Transformers, filem ni memang wajib ditonton. Lakonan first time Rihanna pon tak mengecewakan. Sampai ke hari ni, saya masih rasa kesan daripada menonton filem ni terutamanya, the scary and nerve-wrecking feelings if ever our beautiful world is invaded by bad aliens. Dan jugak perasaan hormat dan tabik spring lah dekat perwira-perwira lautan who have this extraordinary courage against death in defending the world against the more powerful enemy.

Kesimpulannya, lepas ni memang takde masalah kalu nak tengok wayang. Tak perlu beratur panjang dan pergi jauh-jauh lepas tu tak jadi sebab orang terlampau ramai, unless ada kesempatan nak book dulu online. Dah ada spot baru yang lebih convenience despite some flaws, tapi still boleh tolerate. So MBO @ space u8, watch out for my next invasion!!!
