Dark night, fantastic story

Last Thursday, was assigned to attend a training on Virtualization Storage at UBI.

The presenters were from DataCore, US company developing softwares for Virtual storage solutions. The vice president of Asia was an American, Asian Business manager an Indian and engineer and presenter from Australia.

Only 1/3 of the list turned up for the seminar, including 1 female. The presenter is experienced in doing presentation as he told us he got 200++ powerpoint slides to cover within 6hs. I am shocked! The concept is quite interesting, you can read more on their website and ask me. As the presenter dwell further into the topics like I/O, buffer.. I am clueless, as I got no systems or storage background. DataCore celebrated their 10th anniversary last Februray 08 and had over 4000 clients till date and more. Their HQ in US, EMEA support in UK and Asian support in Japan.

During the seminar, had 2 tea-breaks. The pastries not bad, mini spring rolls, curry puffs, chocolate cakes, fried wanton, but my favourite were the fruit tarts. The pastry is so soft that it crumbles when hold it. Whipped cream is below, the cream is light and not too thick which I liked alot and finally topped with either Kiwi or Peaches.

After the seminar, met Kai at Plaza Singapura to catch Dark Night. Kai got a new hoot

Dark Knight action packed scenes doesn't excite me, but the story does. I loved the conspiracy involved in it. Where at the end Batman is no longer a hero.

Spoiler
Bank robbery scene
Batman extraditing the Hong Kong businessman back to US.
Everyone got shocked at the scene in the Mayor's office with the police Lieutenant.
Everyone know the enemy is joker, but thats not all.
Ridiculous 180deg bike maneuvers
What joker did with the mountain pile of money
His futuristic scanning technologies
Test of humanity on the 2 ferries
Masked henchman
The conspiracy of the police and Joker's henchman.
Batman not a hero, as a result of his actions.

Story:5/5 Full of conspiracy
Action: 4/5
Value 4.5/5

I like conspiracy themed movies, where good guys are the bad guys. The last show with such a theme was "Shooter".A similar predicament as Dark Knight. The joker played by Heath Ledger really brings the fear of joker in all of us.
