My Lonely Life

One republic - Good Life

2011-05-17T01:46:00.001+08:00

One republic

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, got this feeling that you can't fight"
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

My buddy - Angry Birds

2011-05-17T00:07:00.012+08:00

Angry Birds is my most favorite games among all.

Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed by Finland-based Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's iOS in December 2009. Since that time, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store, which has prompted the company to design versions for other touchscreen-based smartphones, such as those using the Android operating system, among others.

In the game, players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs on the playfield. As players advance through the game, new birds appear, some with special abilities that can be activated by the player. Rovio Mobile has supported Angry Birds with numerous free updates that add additional game content, and the company has even released stand-alone holiday and promotional versions of the game.

Angry Birds has been praised for its successful combination of addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to versions of Angry Birds being created for personal computers and gaming consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters and even long-term plans for a feature film or television series. With 140 million downloads across all platforms, the game has been called "one of the most mainstream games out right now", "one of the great runaway hits of 2010", and "the largest mobile app success the world has seen so far".

In Angry Birds, players take control of a flock of multi-colored birds that are attempting to retrieve eggs that have been stolen by a group of evil green pigs. On each level, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, ice and stone, and the objective of the game is to eliminate all the pigs in the level. Using a slingshot, players launch the birds with the intent of either hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures, which would cause them to collapse and kill the pigs. In various stages of the game, additional objects such as explosive crates and rocks are found in the levels, and may be used in conjunction with the birds to destroy hard-to-reach pigs.

There are several different types of birds used in the game. In the earliest levels, the basic red bird is the only one available. As the player advances through the game, additional types of birds become available; some of these birds are more effective against particular materials or they have special abilities that are activated by the player after the bird has been launched. For example, a blue bird can separate into three smaller birds, a black bird explodesand a white bird can drop explosive eggs. The pigs themselves also appear in different sizes. While small pigs are relatively weak and are easily destroyed either by direct hits or by debris from the damaged structures, larger pigs are able to sustain more damage. Also, some pigs wear helmets as armor, making them more resistant to damage, while pigs with crowns can take the most damage.

Each level starts with the number, types, and order of birds pre-determined. If all of the pigs are defeated by the time the last bird is used, the level is completed and the next level is unlocked. Points are scored for each pig defeated as well as for damage to, or destruction of, structures, and bonus points are awarded for any unused birds. Upon completing each level, players receive one, two, or three stars, depending on the score received. Players may re-attempt unlocked levels as many times as they wish in order to successfully complete them or to earn additional points and/or stars.

Special Editions

1. Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio, a stand-alone edition tying into the release of the 20th Century Fox animated film Rio, was launched for iOS, Android and Mac OS X in March 2011. In this version, the Angry Birds characters appear in Rio de Janeiro and interact with characters from the film. Angry Birds Rio initially includes two chapters, each with 30 levels; the Angry Birds rescue caged exotic birds in the first chapter and attack evil marmosets in the second chapter. The game also includes new hidden items and planned level updates in May, July, October and November 2011. The reception of Angry Birds Rio has been positive, with Ryan Rigney of GamePro saying the iOS version "boasts some notable improvements on its predecessors"and Levi Buchanan of IGN, in his review of the Android version, calling the game "a smart, snappy new chapter for the series". Since release, Angry Birds Rio has been downloaded more than 10 million times. The first planned update, a new chapter called Beach Volley, was released in May 2011 and included 30 new game levels.

2. Angry Birds Seasons

In October 2010, Rovio released a special Halloween edition of the game. Angry Birds Halloween, exclusive to Apple iOS at the time and a separate application from the main game, included new levels with Halloween-themed music and graphics. In December 2010, Rovio released Angry Birds Seasons to iOS, Android and Symbian^3 devices. Seasons introduced 25 Christmas-themed levels, one for each day leading to the holiday, similar to an Advent calendar. All versions include the previously-exclusive Halloween levels and are offered as separate, stand-alone paid applications, with the exception of the free, ad-supported Android version; Angry Birds Halloween users on iOS received the Seasons levels as a free upgrade. The Halloween version was given the episode title "Trick or Treat", while the Christmas episode was entitled "Season's Greedings". In February 2011, Rovio released a new Valentine's Day update to Angry Birds Seasons, entitled "Hogs and Kisses", complete with new themed levels and graphics, as well as the option to send Angry Birds-themed Valentine's Day messages through Facebook. In March 2011, Rovio released a new St. Patrick's Day update, entitled "Go Green, Get Lucky" followed by an Easter update, entitled "Easter Eggs", in April 2011.

3. Angry Birds Magic

A special version of the game, called Angry Birds Magic, will be developed exclusively for Nokia's NFC-enabled Symbian devices. This version of the game will include functionality that will unlock game levels upon contact with another NFC-enabled phone running the game. A free version of Angry Birds Magic will come preinstalled with all NFC Symbian devices to be sold in 2011, starting with the Nokia C7.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

2011-05-16T18:11:00.005+08:00

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is an upcoming 2011 American adventure fantasy film and the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. In the film, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is joined by Angelica (Penélope Cruz) in his search for the Fountain of Youth, confronting the infamous, real-life, legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The plot draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, which also inspired the LucasArts game The Secret of Monkey Island. It is directed by Rob Marshall, written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

The movie is being distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and will be released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2011, Australia on May 19, 2011, and the United States and Canada on May 20, 2011. The release will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3D, as well as in traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats. The film was first announced in 2008 and principal photography started in June 2010. The release is the first in the series to be directed by Rob Marshall and not Gore Verbinski. It is also the first movie in the series which features fictional versions of historical characters such as Blackbeard, George II of Great Britain, Henry Pelham, John Carteret and Ferdinand VI of Spain. It will be the first Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released in 3D and Jerry Bruckheimer's second 3D film, following the 2009 movie G-Force. It is also the fifth Disney film to use Dolby 7.1 surround sound. While previous films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have been filmed in the Caribbean Sea, On Stranger Tides was filmed mainly in Hawaii.

Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise. When Jack crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), he's not sure if it's love - or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

New Samsung Galaxy S ll

2011-05-16T17:34:00.008+08:00

Samsung's been busy. Since the galactic success of the Galaxy S last June, the Korean giant has refined its hardware chops, constructing the iPad-bothering Galaxy Tab, building the excellent Nexus S at Google's behest, and now crafting its meisterwerk: the Samsung Galaxy S 2.

The S 2 is a luxury smart phone with all the trimmings, including a ginormous 4.3-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz processor powering Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Masterfully sewn into a shockingly slim and light body, prepare your soul for the satin embrace of one of the best Android phones to date.

The Galaxy S 2 will set you back around £500, if you buy SIM-free, and is available to buy from Clove.co.uk.

Apeing Apple?

At first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking Samsung had purloined a page -- or perhaps a whole chapter -- from Apple's design manual. The rounded-rectangle look, chrome edging and central home button on show here put us very much in mind of the iPhone 4. But the design isn't entirely derivative. Turning it over, the back has a textured, grille-like appearance, and the 8-megapixel camera is set toward the top of the chassis, dead in the centre.

Unlike its predecessor, the Galaxy S II doesn't resemble an iPhone 3GS rip-off. It's an iPhone 4 rip-off instead.

Thanks to the 4.3-inch display, this is a large handset indeed. But although it has a broad footprint, it's extremely thin, measuring a mere 8.49mm thick -- nearly a whole millimetre thinner than the iPhone 4. The very bottom portion of the S 2's back is slightly thicker than most of the phone, which gives the impression that the back curves inwards slightly, even though in reality it's flat. It feels very comfortable in your palm -- largely due to the fact that its plastic chassis makes it very light.

Indeed, the Galaxy S 2 is the finest application of plastic since Action Man's chiselled jaw. Normally we bemoan the use of oil-based substances in our tech -- we prefer the reassuring feel of a metal frame. But in this case we'll make an exception, because Samsung's managed to craft a mobile that's astonishingly slim and light, while also feeling solid and well built. We didn't notice any flex or creaking when we applied a little pressure to the phone, but weighing a mere 115g, it's so light you'll barely notice you're holding it.

Light and bright

The S 2 is so light, in fact, we weren't convinced the battery had been inserted at first. Samsung must have some kind of antimatter research lab tucked away, because this mobile is unbelievably lightweight considering all the gubbins lurking inside. You won't feel the S 2 weighing you down once it's ensconced in your pockets or handbag.

The S 2's display doesn't have the highest of resolutions -- it's an 480x800-pixel panel, so it's not as pin-sharp as the iPhone 4's 640x960-pixel screen. But this screen isn't blurry at all -- text looks very clear, and we didn't spot any irritating fuzziness around icons. The S 2 uses Super AMOLED Plus display tech, which, despite being a meaningless string of letters, actually makes for a really impressive screen.

Tap the lock button and the 4.3-inch display explodes into life. Impressively bright and colourful, we spent a good few moments just gazing at the homescreen in all its colour-drenched glory. Photos, videos and even boring menus look so good we had to stop ourselves from seasoning the S 2 and frying it up with a side of green leaves.

In direct sunlight, making out on-screen action is tricky, but this is true of every smart phone, tablet and laptop. The S 2's brightness means it's easier to see in sunny conditions than many rival phones, but this isn't the mobile to finally free us from the sun's oppressive glare.

As an added bonus, the S 2's display floats spookily close to the top of the glass front of the phone, which lends it an extremely classy veneer. It's something we also appreciated on the oozing-with-class Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. The viewing angle is very wide, so you'll be able to appreciate every colour and hue even if you're not looking at the screen dead-on.

Over to CPU

The S 2's launch was delayed, but Samsung seems to have made good use of the extra time, squishing a dual-core 1.2GHz processor into the phone -- an improvement over the 1GHz chip originally destined to lead the chorus.

You'll feel the grunt of that processor from the first time you start swooping through the S 2's homescreens. It's lightning quick, and makes this phone one of the snappiest -- maybe even the snappiest -- Android phones we've ever used.

Not having to suffer lag, stutter or hang-ups when opening apps, rattling out text messages or downloading new software makes a world of difference to the overall experience. Indeed, we struggled to slow the S 2 down -- even when we had a bunch of apps running, with more downloading in the background and Flash video playing in the browser, it still felt very fast.

The music hub is one of the Samsung-specific apps on offer, letting you buy tunes from 7digital.

For all its charms, Android devices are often criticised for not being as slick, speedy and elegant as their Apple rivals, and while that difference in usability isn't solely down to processing power, this beefy chip goes a long way to improving the overall Android experience. It's one of the best things about the S 2.

Browsing is particularly impressive. The processor certainly plays a part, and fires up Web pages very quickly. But the large screen and smooth touch interface make actually cruising around sites a pleasurable experience.

Samsung's added some motion-control features to help you out too. While in the browser, touch the screen with two fingers, then tilt the phone forwards and back to zoom in and out of Web pages. It's a little too sensitive, and we're not convinced it's easier than just zooming in and out using your fingers, but it could come in useful.

The motion-control feature is also employed for home screen customisation -- hold down an app for a moment, then tilt from side to side to slide through the seven available home screens, and drop the app where you want.

Wiz-kids

The Galaxy S 2 is running Android version 2.3.3 Gingerbread. That's not the very latest version (that's version 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which brings video chat), but we hope the S 2 will receive an update in the near future.

This isn't pure Android either -- Samsung's once more put its own stamp on Google's OS with a new version of its TouchWiz 4.0 skin. Apart from the aforementioned gesture controls, there's not much new here, but for the most part Samsung's icons and interface are clean and attractive.

The real Samsung flavouring, however, lies in the app offering. There's a sprinkling of Samsung-specific software preloaded on the S 2, which -- amazingly -- is mostly quite good.

The most useful is the Task Manager, which nimbly solves the problem of monitoring and closing down apps that are running in the background. If you're trying to conserve battery life or keep your phone running at peak speeds, using this app to do a little housekeeping now and again will make all the difference.

Polaris Office is another great addition -- it's a suite of apps for creating and editing Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. It's obviously a pared-down experience compared to Microsoft's desktop software, but it's slick, intuitive and could prove a lifesaver if you need to perform a quick edit on the move.

Hubba hubba

Then there are the Samsung Hubs. These are preloaded apps built to deliver a little extra usefulness, and they come in social, music, gaming and ebook flavours.

The social hub collects together your email and social networks into one massive friendly feed. It's a decent app, but we'd be surprised if many users choose it over the standard email application or the plethora of social-networking apps available from the Android Market.

The gaming hub is much the same story, with some free games to download, but there's little incentive to visit a secondary app store when the Android Market is so easily accessible, and crammed with many thousands of games.

The ebook and music apps are more promising. The readers hub lets you download books (powered by Kobo), digital newspapers (from PressDisplay) and magazines (powered by Zinio). We were initially sceptical, but there's enough content and variation here to make it worth looking into, even if you do ultimately plump for the excellent Kindle app from the Android Store.

Finally, the music hub is powered by 7digital, and lets you shop for MP3s. It's functional, though we found the music selection to be a little chaotic, with lots of duplicate entries for popular songs. Again, it's up against the Amazon MP3 app, which performs the same service, but we found it often listed tunes cheaper than 7digital.

Finally there's Samsung Apps, which is a secondary, largely redundant app store. We'd avoid the extra complication and bypass this entirely in favour of the Android Market.

S 2, Brute

We've hated Samsung phones' past reliance on the Kies desktop software for things like syncing with your PC, data backup or updating Android. Kies has proved a buggy piece of software, and despite a recent update, we're still not convinced by it. Visually it's very much like iTunes, and it's just as slow and irritating as Apple's own software. It doesn't currently run on Macs either, which is sure to aggravate owners of Apple's aluminium computerboxes.

As if admitting Kies is rubbish on the desktop, Samsung's preloaded the S 2 with an app called Kies Air. This lets you explore your phone's contents over a Wi-Fi connection. It's very simple to use -- when you open the app from the phone you'll be given an IP address to visit. Type this out on your PC or Mac, and you'll see an exploded view of your phone in your browser, from which you can upload or download media, stream music saved on the phone and even send text messages.

Kies Air is a really useful tool. In the inset you can see how it runs on the phone.

It's a cool feature, radically more useful than the Kies desktop software, and because it uses your Web browser you can use it anywhere without having to download bulky programs.

Kies Air doesn't quite stack up against HTC's excellent Sense.com (which lets you do similarly cool stuff between your phone and computer but over a 3G connection rather than just Wi-Fi), and we strongly suspect you'll still be forced to use the desktop software when you want to install Android updates, but Kies Air is very useful.

So, the Samsung-specific software is a mixed bag, but there are definitely some treats. It's worth noting though that all this Android tinkering is liable to slow down updates for the S 2, and if you buy it from a network rather than a SIM-free model you could be waiting even longer. If you like getting updates the very moment they're available, then the Google Nexus S, which runs raw Android, might be more up your street. It's also possible to 'root' your phone and add whatever version of Android you want.

Scene snapper

The 8-megapixel camera on the back takes high-quality shots. We were impressed with both the quality of images it produced and the camera software itself, which features a broad array of scene modes and options if you fancy delving into them.

The camcorder mode shoots 1080p video, which in our tests played back smoothly, and looked very crisp. The S 2 isn't as capable all round as a decent compact digital camera, but for capturing quick, decent photos and videos, it's a worthy substitute.

Battery life is not terrible. With a smart phone this light, with this much resource-guzzling tech inside, that alone is a relief, and a pleasant surprise. We'd wager you'll still want to top this bad boy up every night, but based on our testing, so long as you're not gunning everything at top whack, a full day's use shouldn't be a problem.

There's very little not to like about the Samsung Galaxy S 2. It's astonishingly fast, with a gorgeous display, a good camera and a winning operating system. It's somehow all crammed into a case so slim and light it seems to break the laws of conservation of energy.

You might prefer a mobile running raw Android without any manufacturer tinkering, but we're actually rather impressed with many of the extra apps Samsung's stuck on this beauty. It's wonderfully slick and a joy to use, and if you opt for this mobile we strongly suspect it will quickly become your new favourite gadget.

If your budget doesn't stretch as far as the high-end Galaxy S 2, take a peek at the pared-down but no less impressive Samsung Galaxy Ace. And if you're fishing about at the highest end of the market, also think hard about the iPhone 4 and the Google Nexus S.

Summer day

2011-05-14T21:02:00.005+08:00

Taadaa~~
Finally I have my own Blue Coca Cola Can Glass from Mcd by having a large set of Filet-O-Fish and a strawberry Sundae. :)
It is nice with my favorite color.. xD

The Mcd restaurant is crowed recently due to the renovation. The seats are not enough for the dining in customers. Some of the customers tend to take away their meals.

Remember bring the coupon to Mcd on 18 May 2011 from 11am to 12 midnight.

It is weekend today. In the early morning, I was sitting at the windows, looking at the view inside the windows and started to think that whether it will rain or not. Unfortunately, the sky was crying in the evening. After few minutes, the thunder started to yell at the other side. Recently, the climate changes so fast like no body business. Take care peeps. :)

Song of the day :

Ceto's day.

2011-05-14T20:12:00.006+08:00

On Wednesday night, Wai, Min, JY, Swe Wen, Fei and me went to Damansara Perdana to celebrate Ceto's 21st birthday. We planned to go to thr Friendscino Bar & Restaurant but we cant get to the restaurant due to the GPS. Please dont rely on GPS to direct you to somewhere. So we accidentally entered to a dark dark car park area of an unknown building. There is no light and dont even have a car. We were scared and quickly take a U-turn to exit. Fortunately, we got to the restaurant at last after the adventure journey.

Their have a nice sign board for the restaurant..

The cheese cake. It tasted kinda delicious but I have no fate with cheese.

Happy birthday, Ceto. Congratulation. You are officially an adult now. :)

UCSI turns 25! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you! :)

Kuala Lumpur, 13 May, 2011 - UCSI University celebrated its 25th birthday in a private ceremony at its Kuala Lumpur Campus this morning as part of its 18 month long celebrations since January this year. The occasion not only marked its silver jubilee but also commemorated its founder, Dato’ Peter Ng, as well as staff and students who had made the University to what it is today.

During the ceremony, UCSI University founder and chairman Dato’ Peter Ng, together with his wife, Datin Lily Ng, the leadership team, and long-serving University staff members, cut a 2.5 meter long cake as a symbol of the University’s 25 years of success.

Dato’ Peter and Datin Lily then released an 18-foot wide, bright red balloon, to share the celebrations with its surrounding community. The blimp-shaped balloon also symbolises the University’s upward climb to its milestone anniversary, as well as its plans to soar even higher in the future.

“Today, we are celebrating not just a birthday, but a milestone, and a journey which started 25 years ago with one man, and a dream. With true grit, determination and strong faith, Dato’ Peter Ng was able to transform his dream into the reality we know today as UCSI University and UCSI Group,” said Ms Margaret Soo, Vice President, Group Corporate Affairs in her welcome note.

With a humble beginning as a computer science institute, dedicated staff under the leadership of Dato’ Peter Ng had worked hard for the Institute to be awarded the College status in 1989 and subsequently its University status in 2008, to become what it is known as today, UCSI University.

“Today we are celebrating, not just a passage of time, but the very principles upon which this university was founded: audacity, perseverance, integrity and excellence. These are values that have led us through our first 25 years, and which will continue to lead us through the next 25,” she beamed.

Dato’ Peter and Datin Lily also received a surprise from the University’s student council as a token of appreciation from the students, as well as staff of the Student Affairs Office. The two-tier cake was presented by Student Council President, Balamurugan Radhakrishnan, and Deputy President, Joseph Chong, together with the members of the Council.

Also at the occasion to heighten the celebrative atmosphere was Fresco Harmonica Ensemble. Fresco was formed in 2006 by our very own UCSI University alumnus, Soon Hock Chuan, who graduated from the University with a diploma in contemporary music in 2007. It also includes fellow alumna Choon Seet Yee, who graduated with a degree in contemporary music in 2010. The group also contains fellow members Koh Keng Hong and Liew Chzen Khee. The Group arose as champions for the ‘Harmonica Group’ and ‘Harmonica Duo’ competitions held during the World Harmonica Festival in Trossingen, Germany in 2009, besides obtaining many others awards. More.

The birthday celebration ended with a time of fellowship as everyone enjoyed a slice of cake.

As part of its rolling 25th anniversary celebrations throughout the year, UCSI University will be hosting a Carnival with Ricoh next Saturday, May 21, from 9.00a.m. to 3.00pm at its North Wing premises. The day will be event-packed with games, performances, food offerings, talks and give-aways. It will also feature the cultures from all three of the University’s campuses, including a life-size replica of a Sarawak longhouse, with craft demonstrations from Sarawak and Terengganu. The Carnival will also include lots of fun, physical activities such as rock-climbing, an inflatable playground, and scuba diving.

Fast 5(2011)

Plot :

When Dominic "Dom" Toretto (Vin Diesel) is being transported to a US prison by bus, his sister Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) and friend Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) lead an assault on the bus, causing it to crash; freeing Dom. While authorities search for them, the trio escape to Rio de Janeiro. Awaiting Dom's arrival, Mia and Brian join their friend Vince (Matt Schulze) and other participants on a job to steal three cars from a train. The job goes awry when Brian and Mia discover the train is carrying DEA agents and that the cars are seized property. When Dom arrives with the rest of the participants, he realizes that one of them, Zizi (Michael Irby), is only interested in stealing one car; the Ford GT40. Dom has Mia steal the car herself while Dom and Brian fight Zizi and his henchmen, with Zizi killing the DEA agents assigned to the vehicles. Dom and Brian are captured and brought to crime lord – and owner of the cars – Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), Zizi's boss where he orders the pair be interrogated to discover the location of the car. However they manage to escape and retreat to their safehouse.

While Brian, Dom and Mia examine the car to discover its importance, Vince arrives and is revealed to be working for Reyes when he removes a computer chip from the car. Dom forces Vince to leave and after investigating the chip, Brian discovers it contains details of Reyes' criminal empire including the locations of $100 million in cash. Following the murder of the DEA agents aboard the train, blamed on Dom and his team, U.S. DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and his team arrive in Rio to capture Dom and Brian. They travel to Dom's safehouse with assistance from local officer Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky), but find it under assault by Reyes' men. Brian, Dom and Mia escape with Dom suggesting they split up and leave Rio, but after Mia announces she is pregnant with Brian's child, Dom instead suggests they steal Reyes' money to start a new life. The trio organize a team to perform the heist, recruiting Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang), Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), Tej Parker (Ludacris), Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot), Tego Leo (Tego Calderón) and Rico Santos (Don Omar). Vince later joins the team after saving Mia from being captured by Reyes' men, earning Dom's trust once more.

Hobbs and his team eventually find and arrest Dom, Mia, Brian and Vince. While transporting them to an airport for extradition to the United States, the convoy is attacked by Reyes' men, killing Hobbs' team and Vince. Hobbs is saved by Dom, Brian and Mia as they fight back against Reyes' men and escape. Wanting revenge for his murdered team, Hobbs and Elena agree to help with the heist. The gang breaks into the police station where Reyes' money is kept and tear the vault from the building using their cars, dragging it through the city with police in pursuit. Believing they cannot outrun the police, Dom makes Brian continue on without him while he attacks the police and the pursuing Reyes; using the vault attached to his car to smash their vehicles. Brian returns to kill Zizi, while Reyes is badly injured by Dom's assault. Hobbs arrives on the scene and executes Reyes. Hobbs refuses to let the pair go free, but unwilling to arrest him, agrees to give them a 24-hour head start to escape. The gang split Reyes' money, with Dom leaving Vince's share to his family, and they go their separate ways.

In the South Pacific, Brian and now visibly pregnant Mia relax on a beach, where they are met by Dom and Elena. Brian challenges Dom to a final, no-stakes race to prove who is the better driver.

In a post-credits scene, Hobbs is given a special file by U.S. Customs agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes) concerning the hijack of a military convoy in Berlin. In the file, Hobbs discovers a recent photo of Leticia Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom's presumed-deceased girlfriend, revealing she survived the events of Fast & Furious.

The Click Five - Don't let me go

2011-05-14T02:20:00.002+08:00

Lyrics :
I can see your shadow laying in the moonlight
I can feel your heartbeat playing on my right side
Every night I long for this, makin' up what I miss
I can hear you breathing letting out a sad sigh

You try so hard to hide your scars
Always on your guard

Chorus
Don't, don't let me go
Don't make me hold on when you're not
Don't, don't turn away
What can I say so you won't
No don't, don't let me go...

I can see the skyline fading in the distance
Tears are comin' down
I'm trying just to make sense
I don't listen to the radio just the engine and the road
I wonder if my words are makin' any difference

I dream and then it seems to end
But always comes again

Chorus

I'm comin' down
To where you're standing
I need you now or you'll be watchin'
Me hit the ground
With crash landing...

Chorus

Don't let me go...
Don't let me go...
