Movies??

So there's nothing much to talk about... nothing much to do... so i decided to go through my stuff.. and then i realized how many movies i've watched so far during my short stay in KL... well, it IS innocent fun anyway, and that can't be a bad thing... so yeah... every time we go anywhere, we catch a movie.. perhaps it is a good way to have fun ( as well as pass the time) ^^...

First movie i watched in KL.. and i discovered how comfortable the cinema seats can be.. definitely my favourite cinema so far... ^^ ( comfy, but cold.. >.<) one of the first times i kept praying the movie would end so i could get to the toilet.. i needed the toilet badly, and it was a long movie.. and... for some unknown reason, i kept drinking water....

And this was the movie... Gone, Baby, Gone.... due to the 18PL written there, we were convinced that it was perhaps a movie from the horror genre... but we were wrong.. haha.. and since we had never heard of this movie before, we didn't know what to expect. However, it turned out to be a good movie, which was... excellent.. ^^

However, i do not find Mr Affleck to be that much of a hunk as suggested by many.. =.=" it was a good movie nonetheless, with plenty of very welcome twists to it. This movie conveys the simple message " things are not always what they seem " and despite everything, i need to say that i did not enjoy the ending. As much as the law tries to enforce fairness and what is right, i guess perhaps the human conscience had been equipped to see beyond all that into matters of the heart, which i feel to be much more important.



This is the 2nd movie i've watched... and in a different cinema.... i do NOT like this cinema.. it just isn't that nice to be in.... i watched this movie thanks to my beloved cousin, who, throughout the movie, reclined into a position that resembled that of a cooked prawn, covering here ears ( and probably shutting her eyes). This was a good movie, a rather twisted love story, but good all the same... however, if your threshold for watching others in pain isn't very high, i do not recommend you watch it... ( it makes ur chest hurt >.<)


After watching this, i suppose i'll have a phobia of going for surgery for the rest of my life, due to the fear that the anaesthesia fails to work on me... i do NOT intend to suffer like this... >.<


This was an interesting choice... i do NOT know why i watched it.. probably because i watched the thai version and wanted to see how the Americans would interpret it. I found this, essentially, to be a love story. perhaps one that focuses on obsession. Overall, i enjoyed it.


I guess you just never know the bitter truth behind some people... but overall, i didn't find this as much of a horror movie as i expected. and the fact that there were roughly 13 people watching it at that time didn't make things any better, except for the fact that one person happened to mouth off profanities every time she got a fright... which the rest of us found pretty amusing and ended up laughing to. Maybe that's why i didn't find this movie very scary at all.


Again, i tried a different cinema... and i did NOT really like this cinema either... neither did i like the movie very much... certain people found it to be excellent, but it was too much of a messed up, depressing, love story cum chick flick for my tastes.... i feel that the main character certainly needs to get a life if he is willing to forgive sooooo much and let a woman who had cheated on their engagement have a child with him. It is then no wonder they are seen currently filing for a divorce.


I watched this yesterday, in yet another cinema... i and i daresay i LIKED this cinema quite a lot... i enjoyed the movie too, but considering that fact that the cinema was indeed pretty much packed at that time, i guess i can't complain that i found the inside of the theater to be considerably hot. Not melting-point hot, just not as cold as i would have liked. However, it was god movie nonetheless. In fact, i would have said it was a great movie had it not been for the fact that the plot leads to nowhere. The attempt to link the story between the real, present world and that of another dimension is weak and should have been left out. Other than that, the happenings in the alternate dimension were rather pleasing and full of comedy elements. The villain, though, could use a makeover... and lose his blue eyeshadow... ( it makes him look like a total faggot) =.="


Jackie Chan's humor contradicted Jet Li's seriousness in a good way, adding a great element of contrast to the movie...

I loved the Monkey King most of all... watching him fight without even a hint of seriousness was really amusing. The picture isn't him, i know, but i couldn't find his pic... so this is as close as i can get for now... anyone wanna help me out?? >.<


I find her to be soooo pretty... i just love looking at her... ^^ how i wish i was that pretty... *drools*

Quick Updates...

Okay, i've been busy lately, so i apologize for the stagnant condition of my blog. Anyhow, this is just a quick update to let you people know that i am still quite alive...

Anyway, i just had lunch.. and i'm using this as an interval before i need to get back to useless assignments and other loads of work... =.="

Okay, so where do we start... We'll start with yesterday.. ^^ Yesterday we spent the entire day converting the study room into our... 'living quarters'...? (if it may even be so called)... This was no small task and it took an immense amount of cleaning, dusting, rearranging and generally stripping the study room of everything. However, the biggest task, by far, would probably be moving the bunk bed from one room to the next... we had to dismantle the whole thing, bring it into the room in pieces, and then put everything back together.... and being the lazy people that we are, Lee Wen and i decided to do it all without the manual, reasoning that logic should being us the outcome that we wanted. This, of course, lead to certain amounts of frustration, but eventually, the bed was put back in one piece. Another problem we encountered would have to be the fact that there was limited workspace and therefore a lot of lifting and mid-air assembling had to be done. This was, of course, both tiring and tedious , but inevitable. All in all, everything was done just in time for a shower, then bedtime. so i guess it practically took the whole day. And now, our greatest fear would be that of the bed not being put together correctly, which may result in it collapsing... ON ME!! >.< i sleep on the bottom bunk...


This is where i sleep... ^^
and since we were re-doing the room, we decided to put ribbons nearly everywhere.. >.<


And this is what i need to get back to doing... this is one of the many rocks under my feet... insignificant in a way, yet causing immense amounts of pain... =.="


By the way, those books are expensive.... and our lecturer wouldn't let us use 2nd hand ones from our seniors... something about the 'editions' being different.... HOW DIFFERENT COULD IT BE?! Seriously... =.=" and therefore, i had to spend 65 bucks on a book about how to write essays... I could write that book for you... and so far, nothing i've read in there seems to be anything new to me at all... but, i'll be patient and see if at one point it suddenly becomes useful ( though i doubt that would ever be the case)... This Subject is also causing a lot of grief in my life... it is HAMPERING my natural literary skills... i cannot believe that people writing college level essays are limited to 500 words... i CANNOT write a narrative in 500 words... =.=" This is all NONSENSE!!! Frustrating NONSENSE!! >.<

Sociology is another pain in the ass.... sometimes i wonder what good the useless heaps of assignments will bring me.... nevertheless, i am forced to complete them.... 'commenting on the news' and 'selecting and justifying my choice of world leaders' happen to be the worst yet, but i'll keep you posted if things get any more ridiculous... Somehow i hope that throughout my law career, these things will never come back to haunt me... >.<


Stupid assignments... =.="

And i put this up on the wall last night... Thanx joshy... ^^ its sooooo me...

This is some 'study prayer' thing i got from the Christian Fellowship... i know you can't read it, so i'll type it out for you... cuz i think its really cute... ^^

Study Prayer

The Lord is my Shepherd,
i shall not flunk.
He keepeth me from lying down
when i should be studying
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
for my grades sake
When i walk through the valley
of borderline grades
I will not have a nervous breakdown
for Thou art with me
My friends and prayers they comfort me
He giveth me the answers in moments of blankness
then anointeth my head with understanding
My test paper runneth with question i recognize
surely passing grades and flying colours
will follow me all my days of examinations
and i shall not have to dwell in this exam hall
FOREVER!!

I keep this in my file... haha... its a good read once in awhile.. ^^

Happy Birthday, Miki... ^^

Yesterday was my birthday.. !! Joy!! ^^ but i really wish i was back in KK... there are sooo many people i miss back there and would have liked to celebrate my birthday with them.. BUT... thanx to all the sweet people here who helped make my birthday a wonderful, memorable event even though we are all away from home... I love you guys. Thanx a thousand!! ^^

The day was kicked off with Andrew and I catching the movie "Shutter"... and i found it to be a sweet sweet movie... A love story... or rather 'Undying Love' taken literally... ^^ So the next time your neck starts aching, better weigh yourself and see if you're any heavier... and i don't mean a bit heavier... i mean... the weight of two people.. >.< Anyway, it was a good movie. i liked it. Unlike the Thai version with featured scary disgusting ghosts covered in blood which are aimed to scare you, the English version emphasized much much more on the movie instead, which is probably why i felt it was a love story more than anything.

And i also discovered that watching horror movies with a plushie is EXCELLENT!! ^^
After the movie, we headed to Fish & Co. for lunch..
Pretty napkin... and i love the woodblock....
My lunch... all that stuff on the fish is cheese, by the way... ^^
Andrew's lunch... so... seafood-y ?? lolx... ^^
Andrew's waiting for food... and looking bored...

After lunch, we were joined by my cousin, Lee Wen... ^^ but unfortunately, there are no pictures of her as she deleted the only picture i took of her... Lee Wen don't give face.. >.<

After this we headed for the Curve along with Anyz... a lot of stuff happened in between, which will always be fond fond memories to the 4 of us... ^^

At the Curve, we headed to Cineleisure and watched Defintely,Maybe.. and.. LEE WEN FELL ASLEEP!!! and now swears that she HATES the movie... >.< while i don't exactly hate it, it wasn't at all romantic... in fact, i found that it was sad and pathetic, but i guess it was interesting all the same. However, Shutter definitely takes the Movie of the Day award...

After the movie, we headed for dinner... and we stumbled into... The Apartment.. BIG MISTAKE... unless you're swimming in cash, never attempt this.. but we kinda swore never to go back there again.. >.<
A dying plant was our table ornament... =.="
This was what i ordered... Strawberry Cooler... this costs 8 bucks, if you're wondering...
in the background is Anyz's drink... it costs another 8 bucks... >.< All in all the drinks costed us 26 bucks... and Lee Wen didn't even drink.. that means... 3 drinks... =.=" we're definitely NEVER coming back... Anyz calls the 26 bucks the 'price of our face' ... =.="

And after that, we went some 'house of pancakes' thing... Anyz wanted to try... and so we agreed... another mistake... in short... the food is expensive and yucky... >.< and like Lee Wen said, salty sausages and pancakes with steak sauce!!

But anyway, that's kinda how the night ended... we were EXHAUSTED!!! >.< but happy !! ^^

Memories Of The Nite.. ^^




The Curve by night... i love the lights...

I love this picture... Somehow just looking at Andrew and Anyz like this... they look like long lost brothers... And i love the fountain too...



Anyz.. lolx... the first pic, i have no comments... the 2nd one, i think is the result of the extravagant prices he saw in the menu!! Lolx! ^^

Being a sakai again... hahah ... its kinda pretty....

Trying to look cool... ^^ haha...but what's that shadow??? Why so many of Anyz's pics got shadow/strange lights??? Omg... >.< ( this is what happens after watching Shutter)

Andrew and the puppy ^^

And... us... EXCEPT LEE WEN because she don't wanna give face... =(

Anyz and I... he isn't the same height as me, but... he's trying to give me face... he is semi-squatting.. so good... heheheh.... lolx...
Andrew and I... or as Anyz named us, "The Pinkies"... ^^ i look like some lost, drunk idiot... ah well.. it was the end of the night... been out all day, so do excuse it.

If you're wondering why u can only see Anyz's face really clearly, its because HE was taking the pic... he's soooo biased... lolx....
Again, me looking like a dummy... with my Piggy and my Puppy... ^^

Piggy from Anyz... looks like a half-hamster-half-piggy... it has no tail, and there's a tag at the back that says 'Rich' which Anyz read as "bi*ch"... I lovingly named this piggy ANYZ!! ^^

Puppy from Andrew... so soft and huggable... and if you're wondering, i carried it around all day, in the shopping mall and to the cinemas... ^^ Puppy drinking... Lolx... and i have named him.. Andrew... hahahah...

And my favourite picture of all... thanks for the memories, and the great time. I love you guys... so so much!! To us...
