Hancock

Went to watch this movie with Abang just now - the 10.00 pm show. I like Will Smith actually (such a sweet guy, isnt he? ) & that's one of the reason I've decided to watch it. Luckily the crowde is not that bad & we dun have to wait long to get into the cinema.

Seen the movie trailer in the TV for the past one week. All I know, it's about this guy who have the super power - just like other superheroes who can fly, can stop the speeding train, whose body cant be harmed by a bullet...bla...bla..bla..... Well, in this movie, Hancock is an alcoholic superheroe who brings more damage than good to the people of LA. Obviously, one cant expect an alcoholic to straighten up things, right. The first half of the movie tells a story about this Hancock guy & his abilities plus his in-ability to satisfy people.

The remainder of the movie doesnt thrills me that much. In fact, I'm kindof frustated seeing such a good actor like Will Smith end up acting in such a crappy movie. It didnt meet the expectation I had in me before watching it. Anyway, somebody finds it humorous - Abang la, who else. The part where Hancock stucked in a head into somebody's ass really tickeled him. He was laughing and laughing....non-stoppingly. That goes on for at least 1 minute or two :) He really had a hell of fun watching it.

Nevertheless, the movie is ok lah - for the sake of stress relieve. I did laugh watching it which indicates that it's not that bad of a movie - at least better that some crappy malay movies out there. Out of 10, I'll give 6 stars for it.

p/s Will Smith looks super delicious in this superheroe outfit - yummy !

Confessions Of A Shopaholic

When Ain first told me about this novel, it was a few months back. Been wanting to read the book ever since but got held back by lots of things - biasalah...me always being bz kan....dun really have the time for these kindof stuffs. But sincerely, I do admire people who reads storybooks. Well, not only storybooks lah....generally, people who reads. These group people have always amazed me.....nampak mcm bijak pandai sangat...waiting at the bus / lrt station with a book in their hand....impressive!

.

Never really fancied reading. Did try it before but I just cudnt stick to it. When was the last time I ever read a novel? Let me see.......it's been ages. If i'm not mistaken, "Doomsday Conspiracy (Sydney Sheldon)" was the last novel i've ever touched. That was way back in 1997/8.....lama tu ! I used to like these kindof stories - mysterious murders, mafias, investigations. It'll make my brains work, but then it'll get tired la & u dun feel like doing it anymore. I guess that's exactly what happened to me. Otherwise, i'm just plain lazy....hmmmm...that's more like it...i'm just plain lazy. Suits me quite well :P

.

Ok, back to my Sophie Kinsella's novel. Yes, she's the author. The bestselling British author. How I'd wish I cud write like her......(sigh). Anyway, bought this book @ RM25 in Kinokuniya KLCC. I was quite suprised when i first saw the price coz it's much more cheaper here. Been surveying this book for the past few weeks in several other bookshops, namely Popular & MPH, but they've been selling it at RM 10 more. Oklah....i dun really "survey".....it's just that I'm a bit reluctant to buy the book. Me & books doesnt really fit, rite? It's just not me ! That particular thought that I had in my head has been pulling me back from buying this book. Not really sure what happen to me tonite that makes me decided to go to KLCC & buy the god damn book. Anyway, I' was lucky I got it cheaper......thank you God!

Start reading the book once I got home. I'm glad I bought the book. It's a very nice book actually. It's fun & hilariuous. I was laughing & giggling all the way . Really got hooked up with the book thru out the weekend. Cant wait to finish it . I really had fun reading it - cant believe I'm actually saying this. Me? Had fun reading?? Hahaha.......I guess people do change & I'm glad I've changed to the better.

Mari Berbalas Pantun

Hilang sepi di raut wajah
Usah terlerai nilainya budi
Setia janji takkan berubah
Kasih tersemai tetap abadi

Wajah mu tuan manis berseri
Hingga terbawa ke dalam lena
Kasih sayang ku tiada terperi
Jikalau boleh mati bersama

Tanam melati di ruma-ruma
Ubur-ubur sampingan dua
Kalau mati kita bersama
Satu kubur kita berdua

Andainya kita tak bisa bersatu
Sebelum nyawa meninggalkan jasad
Akan ku pohon pada yang satu
Agar ditemukan jua di hari Akhirat

Putrajaya

Went to Putrajaya this morning to settle my Wira's issue. Abang is kind enuff to accompany me there....thanx darling. I've never been to this part of the city yet actually. Heard a lot about the place though.....it's just that I dont have any reasons to be there before. All I can say is that the place is really impressive - beautiful landscape and buildings, stunning architectural masterpieces. Not only the government buildings are nice, the residential houses are too. If you were blindfolded all the way to Putrajaya, when you open up your eyes, you wouldnt know you are actually in Malaysia. It's just a very different environment there.

Anyway, the moment we get to Putrajaya, Abang just couldnt stop bitchin & whining about the place. He keeps on commenting on how much money the government has wasted to build this place. Well, what he said is quite true actually. I just found out that the Government has spent approximately RMK 11 Billion for this Putrajaya project. This is an enormous amount of money which could have been spent on something more important than this. I am very sure a lot of people out there have the same opinion.

Look What's Cookin.....

Minggu ni memang minggu membuat kuih. I'm just having the mood to cook this week. I love to cook & everything about cooking. Reading cook books is also a pleasure for me coz while reading it I can actually visualize myself doing it. By the way, to those who dont really likes to cook, you guys might wanna try it someday. Cooking to me, is a stress-reliever. If I had a stressful day, cooking will definately help me out. It makes me feel so relax & relieved especially if what I'm cooking turns out to be good. And for that same reason, I have dedicated this weekend to sharpen my cooking skill. The next question would be : What shud I cook??

Since for the past few weeks I have this craving for carrot cake, I'm gonna bake a Carrot Cake. I have collected a few carrot cake recipes during my recipe hunting about a month ago. After analyzing those recipes, I've decided to try out this one recipe which I got from the Cari Forum which is my favourite cooking website. Too bad I just cant remember the owner of the recipe. This is a very simple recipe ==> the ingredients are simple & so is the method. Very straight forward & most important of all, no mixer is required. hate it when u have to use a mixer : very the leceh one !

The cake turns out to be great! The best carrot cake I've ever baked. The texture is so moist & soft and the taste...wallahhh!!!! Lovely ! Everybody loves it which makes me even happier. It is such a great feeling when other people appreciate your cooking. It'll definately washed away all your tiredness & exhaustion - just like that! Itu kalau menjadi lah, otherwise for all you know, the cake would already be in the bin ! That's the ugly side of me.

The cake was on Saturday. On the next day, since my cooking mood is still on, I've decided to make a Beef Currypuff. Lately, i'm getting quite good in making currypuffs, i mean the pastry. I've mastered the right technique & ingredients to a soft & crispy currypuffs.....yeehaaaa!!! So, here are my crispy currypuffs. However, there is a setback to this currypuffs actually. I've forgotten to put salt in the pastry. I only noticed it after 3/4 of the dough are done. Felt so frustated - letih akak ! Nasib baik la inti dia masin sikit.....so bolehlah cover pastry yang tawar tu. This is the 2nd time it happen in my currypuff-making history. I hope this would be the last time lah......

Make Love Not War

Looks like Lin is pissed today. Well, she have the every right to feel that way. Padan muka aku ngan Carol ! We took Lawrence out for lunch yesterday without even asking her. Tucker tu biasalah....even if he offer himself, we wud still not take him. Anyway, back to Lin's story tadi. We ( me & Carol) went to Saisaki semalam - loves their raw salmon..so yummy!! Again...I'm deviating from the subject.

It's not that we dont wanna ask her to join but apparently this girl is a bit fussy when it comes to food. At first we thought of going to Ciao but then hujan la pulak. So, we dun really have a choice but to go Saisaki instead. We're not sure whether Lin wud wanna go to Ciao ke tidak - sebab tu la tak ajak dia. Anyway, no point crying over spilled milk, kan. What's done is done. Just hope things are not that bad & damaging.

Got a new enquiry today - nasib baik 10 valves jer. This is for GSP4 projevct in Thailand. Speaking of Thailand, dah lama tak pergi Bangkok, kan. Missed that place - Chatuchak specifically. Just have to wait till I hit one big job in Thailand. Got one already which is that Bi-Phenol but then, NIMCO pulak yang quote. It's ok....I'm sure that day will come someday. Better start doing my GSP4....ciao !!

BTW, before I forgot....my cheque is not cleared yet - up to now. Sakitnya hatiiiiiii !!!!!!!!!!!

CIMB Sucks !!!

Well, do I need to say more??? The first thing I did as soon as I got connected to the internet is to login to CIMB Clicks. As expected, my cheque is still pending. I was so stressed out ! Gila-gila punya stressful! It's not the money actually - It is so frustating coz there's nothing I cud actually do to get even with CIMB. This is really bad. I bank-in the cheque last Wednesday, 25th. Rightly, it wud hv been cleared by Friday. Luckily I feel like checking my accounts on Monday. Otherwise, i wudnt hv found out about this & by next day, i wud hv 2 bounced cheque for my housing & Bank Rakyat loans.

I was so pissed off at the bank yesterday. I cant remember when was the last time I was that mad! First, i called the Customer Service Centre. To my expectation, nothing much can be resolved there. Already pissed, I went to the bank hoping that they could do sumthing to help me. Again, I was wrong. All they did is took the same details from me & that's about it. Nothing much they can do as the're facing some problems with the Cheque Clearing Centre. They cant even give me a tentative date as to when my cheque can be cleared. For God's sake !!! I was consollilng myself very hard at that moment not to lose my temper. Breath in.....breath out.......relax.

Fine.....they cant do anything about it. That means I hv to hv some money in my account for all the standing instructions i've made before. So, I fill in the ASB withdrawal form & wait for my no. to be called. I was quite calm already at that time......but after been waiting for almost 40 mins., there goes my patience! Feeling rather disgusted, I approach the counter & asked where the hell are the ASB tellers. I've been told that they are out for lunch. That's it ! That triggers it all ! Kadeboommm!!!!! I exploded !

"Dun tell me you only have 1 personnel for ASM transactions???" I yelled. "Ohh...the other staff is on leave" the officer explains. "Knowing that, you juz cant tell the customer & make me wait like a fool! I' wont be here if it's not becoz of the bank's mistake & yet I've to waste my time here waiting for ur staff finish eating? I already had a very bad today & you better do something coz i really dun wanna create a situation here!" I was trembling with anger - trying not burst out my tears which are already at the edge of my eyes. Then, the officer hurriedly took my form & asked one of the teller there to process it. That was one hell of an experience for me ! Wished I dun hv to go thru it anymore.

Sepi Itu Aku

I felt in love with Kabir's first movie, Cinta. Therefore I wont miss the opportunity to watch Sepi. The tagline of this movie is "Cinta Tak Datang Hanya Sekali" , which is very true. Sometimes you spent your life time looking for love when it's actually right in front of you. Love comes when it is least expected.

So, went to watch this movie with Abang last nite - our first movie watching actually...hehehehe. Ever since they showed the trailer of this movie, I've been wanting to watch it. All i can say it's worth a wait. Love it so much ! Everything about it - the plot, cinematography, soundtracks...like i said, everything lah.

The story is about 3 different characters : Adam, Sufi & Imaan. It started with an accident scene whereby all three character's' life path crosses. Among the three, I like Imaan's story the best. It's about this girl who just cant let go of her dead boyfriend. Her love is so strong she keep on halucinating about him & not wanting to move on. Very sad indeed. Infact, the whole story is a sad story. The title itself explains it all.

The story about Sufi reminds me of my own story. Sufi & Marya made a promise that they will wait for each other for as long as they lived. Well, make the same promise with Nain before......... (Abang, if you are reading this, please dont be mad, ok. Love you !). I guess promise were made to be broken.

This movie has definately touched my heart in its own way. Watching it taught me not to give up hopes in love. Love is such a beautiful thing that makes you alive. A life without love is no life at all. To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, but to be loved by the one you love is everything.

My favourite part of the movie is of course the scene of Adlin & Vee in the kitchen i.e when the flour fell on them from above......so classy, I would say. This kindof things makes Kabir Bhatia's movie so different from other malay movies.

True Love Needs No Reason

Lady: Why do u like me? Why do u love me?

Man : I can't tell the reason... But I really like u...

Lady: U can't even tell me the reason... How can u say u like me? How can u say u love me?

Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love u.

Lady: Proof ? No! I want u to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her, but not u!

Man : OK...OK !!! Erm...because u are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because u are caring, because u are loving, because u are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements...

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became coma. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content :-

Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love u...Now can u talk? No! Therefore I cannot love u. Because of your care and concern then I like u... Now that u cannot show them, therefore I cannot love u. Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love u... Now can u smile? Now can u move? No, therefore I cannot love u... If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love u anymore. Do loves need a reason? NO! Therefore, I still love u!!!!!!!!!!... And love doesn't need a reason...

"When loving someone... never regret what u do... Only regret what u didn't do" If God brings u to it...He will bring u through it...

Friends Are Forever

It's the 3rd hari raya today. Kindof boring actually. That's why i dont really like Hari Raya. I end up eating & sleeping all day long. Anyway, had a pleasant suprise today. Leslie called ! Didnt expect to receive any calls from him anymore. He missed me he said. That's Leslie....the sweet talker. It's the same old thing la....missed me, hot for me, falling for me, etc...etc....all those craps la. But it's a good thing he called. I really need to have lots of frens around me now.

Then, later in the evening, another suprises. This time it's a call from Nily Akmar. Been ages since the last time we've spoken. It was about 4-5 years ago when she left the company. Really missed her so much. We have lots of great times together. I am so glad she's back to my life. She then called me up on Saturday & we meet up at Starbucks KL Plaza - catching up old times. She's now no longer with Dhillon, that boyfriend of hers. She's so depressed. I pitied her so much but nothing much i could do to help her. One thing i'm really not good at is consoling people. You really need a talent to do that. I just hope she'll be fine.
