Do you know?

Kopi Luwak is made from Civet Poop! Ewwwwwww......

Well not really. But the process of making this super expensive Kopi Luwak in Indonesia is indeed by letting the civet eat the coffee, as they have the ability of identify of good seeds. And those civets only eat the good seeds! And from those civets poop, the coffee will be clean up and there you go. The famous and expensive coffee you ever had. 

It may expensive but most peoples who ever tasted and be a fans of the coffee said its was the best compare to others. So can we argue if its may the best coffee in the world? It’s said; in Indonesia they serve the coffee of more then MYR30 per-cup. Well when i do the Indonesia trip i may have the thought of give a try without thinking of the civets poop.... (God really??).

What i do on weekend?

MOVIES!

I did watched;

WALL STREET: Money Never Sleeps.

This movie is sequel of Wall Street Movie that made on 1987, where backed then played by Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen and Daryl Hannah. Then after 23 years they make a sequel for the movie that once make Douglas won The Best Actor in Academy Award. Well the leading man still by Michael Douglas (as Gordon Gekko), but with new faces Shia LeBeouf (as Jake Moore) and Carey Mulligan (asWinnie Gekko).

I actually never watched the first one so im not sure how to its was but based on the Wall Street 2010 movie and the reason why Michael Douglas won his Academy Award backed then its assure me that the lasted one must be as good as this one. I didn't give the synopsis in case its may harming the mood of good feelings before you even go to the cinema.

The cover of Wall Street 1987 movie:

I'm already plan to get the DVD for Wall Street 1987.
