May Movie Day: The Avengers (3D)

Those who know me very well will know that it's a miracle I survive for more than 6 months without watching movies in the cinema. I considered myself a movie buff some months ago, when my favourite past time after work was to go for movie marathon in 1Borneo Hypermall, whenever I have extra time and cash of course. Well, with all the dubbed version of the movies in Spain, and the more expensive tickets, I have not watched a proper movie since last August. I don't remember which movie it was, but my last was a movie outing with a friend who lives in KL the eve of my flight to Madrid. That was 8th August 2011, about 9 months ago!!

Gosh, the feeling of watching the Avengers (3D) was "WOW! So this is how watching movie in the cinema feels like." Ok, writing this phrase gave me a feeling that I was living in a cave for the past 9 months *chuckles* and I am supposedly living in first world countries since August!!? Oh well, I thank God that the ticket price in Lisbon is slightly cheaper and so I could take a little off my scholarship allowance for a once-a-month movie treat I guess. They accepted my university gym card as my student card, so yeah, I got a cheaper student price of 5.70 euros, well, plus 2.20 euros for the real 3D glasses and 0.75 euros for 3D show tax. Definitely more expensive if I were to convert to MYR, but without conversion, the price is VERY reasonable, considering that it is original voice movie with Portuguese subtitles. No dubbing effect. NICE!!!

One thing which gave me a culture shock was the 7-minute interval which the cinema had. They CUT the Avengers into half literally, and my movie excitement and enjoyment into half too... T.T I thought they had some power or movie play failure which sometimes GSC experienced (from all my movie outings...)

I had that "WHY IS THIS SO RIDICULOUS??!!!" question playing again and again, as though it was the biggest joke on earth, to cut Thor's action into half. Sigh!! It was a good movie for a laugh with a mashed up super heroes of Marvel comic. A lot of CG and actions, with lots of heroes. Not the lovey-dovey, kissing here and there sort of movie. But it was completely fun, oh well, minus the interval of course.

And yeah, I tried on two dresses in Zara which I like a lot and thought of bringing them home to call my own. Now I'm still considering if I would wear them often enough to buy them home..... 

And I fell in love with Samsung Galaxy Note just now. I think that little gadget fits me perfectly. Being such an intelligent and cute thing. I wish I can bring home all!!

Well, after serious consideration, I might get the Note back home in Malaysia.... I just might!!!

Europe Countdown: Day 47

Another day has passed without a trace. As time draws near, every single day becomes precious. I'm still feeling a bit way too exhausted since my KL trip. I know the next trip is coming up very soon and I would have to replenish my energy prior to my trip. Gosh... I wish and I pray that my cert of good conduct will be issued soon. Then at least I can proceed with the visa application and be more restful at night. I've been worrying way too much. When will the date of completion be? I hope it's exactly by the time I fly to KL next month...

I'm so getting sick with the heat and all. I can't really concentrate at work and tend to miss out details which are important. This is so unfair for the people whom I'm reaching out to....

I was supposed to watch X-Men this afternoon to unwind, but I ended up watching a real cool sci-fi movie - Green Lantern - because I made a mistake on the time of the show. Well, knowing nothing about the movie, it was unexpectedly good. In fact, it reminds me of Inception and Avatar. Yeah, I believe it'd be more awesome if it's in 3D format, but I didn't want to spend extra monies on 3D. I bought a nice bag which I will use for traveling, and some cheap cotton socks. It was RM13 for 3 pairs of cotton socks in F.O.S. with 20% discount. So I bought like 6 pairs of the same kind... It shall last me for two years (fingers crossed). I'd need woolen socks if it gets too cold for sure, but that I will get it later on.

Time to rest. Tomorrow onwards I shall try my best to attend daily masses. It becomes so easy to skip mass after a period of time of absence from daily mass.... I am spiritual, charismatic, and yes, religious because I go to church and I believe the teachings of the Church are in accordance to Jesus' teachings, but our eyes are always filled with logs but we could see the tiny speck of dust of another.

God bless all!

From Autistism to Inspiration - "My Name is Khan"

This is a movie calling to mind that all religions in fact teach us to love and to care, and not to be judgmental nor presuming others without knowing them. It is a good movie, and worth checking it out. Watch not with religious point of view, but with love point of view. 9/11 had left a deep impact on the Americans, and all around the world. Terrorist attacks became a worldwide concern after the attack on World Trade Centre. Everyone was affected, and is still paying the price of its aftermath effects. This is another viewpoint of the whole event.

Enjoy the movie. And may the love of Christ be with you all. Amen.

Ghost Hunt Anime

It is always once or twice a year, since I saved this set of anime in my HDD, that I would watch Ghost Hunt. There's always a sense of freshness of the anime, no matter how many times I watched it before this. My favourite characters are of course Naru-chan and Mai. Kinda cute.

I slowly discover that I enjoy action pack movies and suspence thrillers more often than not. The movie genre that comes second would be romance comedies. I love sci-fi movies too. The recent movie, Avatar, I would give a 5/5 if were to ask for recommendation. It is definitely a must-watch movie of the year 2009.

Alright, time to get ready for mass. Have fun! God bless!

Mr. Darcy - An Ideal Life Partner?

As I was browsing through the comments for the trailer in Youtube, I saw people saying "Does Mr. Darcy exist?" and things like "it is amazing that even though Mr.Darcy was created century ago, he is still the ideal man for most women today."

When I watched the movie and having lots of "short-circuit" moments, mostly laughing and amused with the emotions of the characters were displaying, I couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Darcy exists in modern world, TOO.

Well, my impression of Mr. Darcy in the movie... Rather imprudent, but very loyal. Not good with words, and loves with his action. He's a person of dry humour I guess. It reminds me of somebody I know but a moment later, to realize perhaps Mr. Darcy doesn't exist after all. Or perhaps, my very own version of Mr. Darcy is lurking somewhere, stalking me unknowingly? Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Or maybe my Mr. Darcy is "in the making" now? Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Actually... Actually... I'd like to have a Mr. Darcy too! LOL!!!

Oh well, I'm a sucker for romance actually, though I rarely show that part of me by telling others. Haha! This is the first time I'm admitting publicly that I love romance. OMG! Well, I can't force others to like what I like, neither can I brainwash anybody to like what I would dropdead for. I'm just me, though imperfect, still loved by God.

Here's an interesting link to a P&P website which stated the endings of the movie... The version that I have with me doesn't have the ending at Pemberley. The version I have ended here:

Longbourn Library - Day (last scene)

Pemberley - Night (Last scene for US edition)

I actually saw the Pemberley night scene in cinema when I watched this movie for the first time. I liked how the movie was directed, saving the best for the last. Rarely I saw any movie these days without a "kissing scene", but this is one of the very few movies that has only ONE kissing scene at the end of the movie (after the credits).

Before I end, I think there is one important point of me writing here is the essence of the movie... Well, personally, I find the movie speaks loudly to me about how sometimes the first impressions on individuals may be wrong, and sometimes, we may have built up prejudice towards another. And when we realize that we're wrong, it is hard for us to admit so, because of pride. That's what I see of Mr. Darcy and Lizzy...

Mr. Darcy thought Lizzy was "barely tolerable" the first time they met, while Lizzy thought of him as pompous and proud (probably cold) too. Then when Mr. Darcy discovered that he found Lizzy irresistable and loved her, Lizzy rejected his proposal because of the prejudice she had about him (the statement she heard him made, his act of breaking up Mr. Bingley and Jane, her sister, what he thought about her family etc.). Yet after her rejection of him, she realized that deep down inside her, she actually found herself loving the man she hated. She wouldn't bring herself to admit that, until the end of the movie where she could resist him no more.

I guess I do have some part of "Lizzy" in my life that I need to work it out... I just couldn't understand how come it is so hard to build a bridge across two individuals who are so different from each other!!! Practically no similarity...

Time to sleep... A long day to go, tomorrow that is.

God bless!

Pride and Prejudice (2005) Trailer

One of my favourites... Watched it once in the cinema, at least four times on the computer.

My Weekend Frenzy

I think I had fun this weekend... All play and no work... Weekend came to an end when the clock struck 12 an hour ago... Since I sort-of promised Joanne to blog a bit, here's my entry... My Weekend Frenzy episode:

1. Weekend started on 08 August 2009 with a wedding to attend at 11 am. After a great movie (Tuesdays with Morrie) on Friday during Life Nite, I went home and had a good sleep. Sort of freaked out when I woke up to find my eyes swollen from the aftermath of crying (good movies make me cry). Managed to salvage the situation with The Body Shop eyeliner and mascara. While getting ready, I was making an impromptu appointment with my colleague over SMS to get some stuffs in Popular book store...
2. Arrived at Sacred Heart Cathedral almost the same moment as Fenelly (the bride) arrived in her lovely, gorgeous wedding gown. OMG! She looked so beautiful, so peaceful. I was glad I made it. Though there isn't any photo taken (I forgot my camera somehow), but the memory etched in my brain will be forever. Decided of not attending her high-tea reception in Kg. Bahang for I've made the appointment with my colleague... So I went to fetch my colleague after the wedding mass. Hmm... I just loved how couples professed their wedding vows!!~
3. Fetched my colleague and went to Popular in City Mall... Checked out and bought another Bio work book, and 23 paper file folders for my 4M Bio students. It's for PEKA use. Saw one of my students, potential scorer for Biology, at the counter for some last minute book-shopping I think. Had a drink at the food court with colleague and we shared about God and life. It was a good outing really... Left City Mall around 3pm, sent my colleague back and headed home to change and wait for Irene.
4. Irene fetched me at 4pm for our gal outing. Wanted to use the free tickets Aunty Agnes gave me, but it was for some Malaysian films and the time wasn't right... So, we watched the Proposal by Sandra Bullock. A lovely comedy romance. I LOVED IT! I wouldn't mind watching it a second time, really... Everything was creatively perfect! So girls, make sure you take some time off to catch this movie. It's funny, romantic, sweet, and just nice. After movies, we walked around a bit and ended up in NYNY for dinner... Good beef stew with mashed potatoes and sausage wrapped in cheese and ham. Super high cholesterol, but super nice! Well, that ended my Saturday.
5. Sunday started with Life Mass, where I was fully contented being the congregation sitting behind the worshippers. Worshipped along with them... But most importantly, God spoke to me that He'll provide all I need to go through this journey... He will definitely provide. The readings were loud and clear. Thank God!
6. I went to Kinarut Montfort with Irene for their open house bazaar after she met me in church after mass. Met Clement Wong, Mirina, Jason Yong, Thecla, Jeremy Pinso and of course, not forgetting Joanne and friends, and my kids (Amy, Alistair and Daniel Chiang). Amy can really sing, though I missed most of her performance. Looked forward to hear her perform again... Great vocal~ Was glad to see that everyone had fun. I HAD FUN for sure!
7. After the trip to Kinarut, I drove down to Bandar Sierra in Menggatal to visit Ms. Chong, my ex-colleague who is currently posted in Sandakan. Had a short chat with her while she's transferring some documents to my pen drive. Wish time doesn't fly, but it flew. So I had to go home. Thought of sleeping but ended up reading "What Katy Did Next?" for a while.
8. Wrote in my prayer journal a prayer request and then went out to City Mall to get it done... After doing my purchase, I dropped by Popular only to find Irene there!~ Yeah, so we had chit chat over dinner in The Hut City Mall.
9. Got home and took a cool shower.. The weather is super humid and dusty these days!!! Decided to go online and see what's been happening to the world, only to find a total of 26 deaths from A(H1N1) in the whole Malaysia... What the....!!!
10. It's 1.24 am now, way passed my bed time. Weekend's over and out. Tomorrow is the start of SPM Mock I exam and I know my students are pouring over books burning midnight oil last minutely at home, respectively. And so I pray that God will guide them when they are answering their paper tomorrow and until the end of exam. Amen.

Alright, till I have time to post an entry, Pax et Bonum, and God bless!

Save the Last Dance (2001)

As I've posted earlier on, I found my old stack of burned CDs somewhere in a paper bag covered with dust. How glad I am to have found that precious collection of movies of mine! I love watching movies, and there are some which will forever stay as my constant favourites. Well, one of them is "Save the Last Dance" starred by Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas. What I really like about this movie? Like what the movie tag I saw on the image: "The Only Person You Need to be is Yourself."

Many-a-times, we tend to be "plastic people" even in our own home and ministry. Last night as I shared with a sister after LifeNite, it was like a sudden realization how "plastic" we can become as we mature into adulthood. And without a channel to let out all these plasticity in life, we will eventually become human wax. Why so? When the sun comes out and shines upon us, our personality melts, like how wax melts under intense heat about the melting temperature of the wax. What is left is a puddle of formless wax dried up when the sun goes down in the midst of nowhere. And there goes our life!!!?! No way I'd be the human wax!!! I made a decision to choose a different path (like how Robert Frost described his life journey in "A Road Not Taken"). I chose to remain real even when it means people think of me otherwise.

Perhaps many will say I'm just a fool, but I'd rather be a fool for God than to be a plastic people. I may be misunderstood often, but I know my life will never be faked, even when people accuse me of being temperamental and strange. I know I am me, and I'm known to my Father in Heaven as who I'm called to be. Though life can be a struggle, but it is beautiful to struggle for a reason as big as meeting God at the end of the journey in life. And I want to be prepared for such a meeting with Him when it is my time to meet God.

So, dear friends, be who you are, because that's all you need to be. As what Jesus said immediately to His apostles when they were terrified seeing him walking across the lake one night, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid." (cf. Matthew 14:27), we should not be afraid to be ourselves. It will not be easy, but all things are possible with God (cf. Matthew 19:26).

Till then... God bless!

Movie: Papa Giovanni XXIII (Pope John XXIII: The Pope of Peace)

Last night I watched the movie about Blessed Pope John XXIII in SHPC Room F7 with the rest of the Alpha group. It was a really touching life story of Blessed Papa Giovanni XXIII. He struck me as a man of prayers and peacemaker of God. It really inspires me on the area of prayers and communication with God and men. His most important work which brought renewal to the Catholic Church is the Vatican II council. Thank God for such a wonderful man of God whom He had called to know, love and serve Him as the Pope eventually. The bibliography of Pope John XXIII can be read here. What touches me were his great heart for the people, his humility and his works in world peace (Encyclical Pacem in terris is mentioned in the movie as a part of the outcome of Vatican II council). Do correct me if my info is inaccurate. Thanks!

Here's a youtube clip I found about the movie (practically the only one I could find so far) which I would like to share with you all here.



This is the greatest movie of the year for me!

Ok, confession time!

Well, I broke my fast from Facebook a couple of minutes ago, for about 5 long minutes, to send two messages to two separate individuals on my FB Friends List. You might say FB is not harmful enough to have caused me to start the abstinence since 19 November 2008, but I guess you're just not me. It wasn't about addiction, it was more than just that. I've been more than okay without FB in my life to be frank with you. I have no idea why but I'm just so free without FB. Well, it was hard at first, but as the first 30 days passed, it became easier and easier. More than 6 months I survived without FB. Hehe!

Well, I'm definitely looking forward for my 3-day trip to Kuching, Sarawak, to visit my old pals which I met through YCS (Young Christian Students Movement). I really hope to see this friend, Cuthbert, when I'm there, and the only way to inform him is via Facebook. Hence, the breaking of fast.

Well, I'm renewing my abstinence today, 26 May 2009, that I'll hibernate from Facebook until further notice. Till then, keep up with me via my blog and perhaps Friendster, if I'm "hardworking" enough to update it. ** No offence to those who use FB a lot. I have nothing against FB or any authorities concerning this social networking. It is for my own personal growth and walk with Jesus that I require this abstinence.**

Alright, time to get back to work. God bless you all! Have a wonderful night.

P/S: A Night at the Museum 2 is a hilarious movie. Grab some popcorns n chill with your friends! :)

Lost & Found

What really struck me during Archbishop John Lee's homily last night during Holy Thursday mass was Jesus instituted the Eucharist before He died because He can continue to be with us through the Eucharist.

Besides that, here are some other points I managed to jot down last night:

• When we eat His body and drink His blood, we're in Jesus Christ. The church is the body of Christ, thus if we commit sins, we're kicked out of the body.
• Breaking the commandments of God is equivalent to breaking the relationship in the community.
• Yesterday's readings were taken from Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14 and 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. Bishop brought us to an understanding how these two readings are closely related. The reading of Exodus was about how the Lord instructed the Hebrews to prepare for the Passover meal prior to their flee from Egypt, while the reading by St. Paul to the Corinthians was about the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus Christ on Holy Thursday. The lamb in OT (Old Testament) was a symbol of Jesus, the Lamb that was killed in the NT (New Testament). The blood put on the doorpost & lintel in OT was the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross in NT. The people fleeing from Egypt when they were liberated was exactly how we are being set free from sins by Jesus who died on the cross.

• There was a prayer mentioned by Bishop that is to be said during Holy Week. After Google-ing I found that prayer in a Holy Week daily lent prayer website under the general intercession part. Here's how the prayer goes:

Let us pray to Christ our Saviour, who redeemed us by his death and resurrection:
Lord, have mercy on us.

You went up to Jerusalem to suffer and so enter into your glory,
- bring your Church to the Passover feast of heaven.
You were lifted high on the cross and pierced by the soldier's lance,
- heal our wounds.
You made the cross the tree of life,
- give its fruit to those reborn in baptism.
On the cross you forgave the repentant thief,
- forgive our sins.

• Bishop mentioned that by His death on the cross, we receive life. By the celebration of the Eucharist, He transformed the Passover into His own passover, which is the New Covenant.
• Another point worth mentioning which struck me was the reading from Gospel of St. John. The account of the Washing of Feet by Jesus. St. John focused on the washing of feet prior to the institution of the Eucharist. What Bishop mentioned was that the washing of feet is the real meaning of the Eucharist - the service towards one another which Jesus stressed so strongly at the washing of feet. So the consequence of receiving Jesus Christ through the Eucharist is service to others. Without the service, our Eucharist is without meaning at all. Thus, the love for one another is part of the communion. If we do not serve, we miss the meaning of the Eucharist.
• Bishop also mentioned that the Apostles had understood the meaning of the Eucharist wholly when Jesus instituted the Eucharist on the night before His death via their actions as found in the Acts of the Apostles to the early Christians. In chapters 3, 4 and 5 all accounted how the Apostles and the early Christians had lived a lifestyle of sharing and caring. Besides that, they served the people by healing the sick, giving to the poor and the needy. If the early Christians had followed the commandment of Jesus, so must we.

One thing that would relate the images together with Bishop's homily is this: the movie I watched (an old movie from 90's, starred by Kelly Chen & Takeshi Kaneshiro) is about people being lost in the world, seeking and searching for lost hope, while the other is a picture of a guy with a travelling backpack sitting on a bench with Jesus. Through Jesus, hope is found, love is gained. Through Jesus, the lost will be guided back to the right path and be found in communion with God.

One of my students told me that a non-Christian will know that we're Christians by our acts, not our words. The acts and lifestyle of a Christian will clearly proclaim the name of Jesus loud and clear, by portraying the compassion and love of Jesus to His people. So, in the midst of our fast & abstinence, let's reflect upon our lives, whether we have been seeking Jesus and following this path of compassion of Jesus towards the people around us. I know I'm still far behind track, but I also know I'm still on the right track now.

Thank You Jesus for Your love to the cross for us and our sins. Amen.

Lilo & Stitch (2002)

This is one of the lovely animation movie which I like a lot. Re-watched it just now over pasta dinner. My best loved image is this:

Even a "created" creature learns to love and care, even when got persecuted and disliked. I pray I can be more of Stitch each day. Are you loving enough today? If not, love more tomorrow.

100 Roses for My God

Cheers for my 100th Entry to Time Flees, Love Stays! And many words of thanks to my readers for still checking me out even entries become few for the past few months. And every single entry I want to present it to my God who allows me to have skills in typing, writing and thinking (oh... yeah... not forgetting teaching and nagging too... LOL!), and most importantly, a heart that still beats despite all that are happening in my life!

Why these two images instead of roses?
Why "Coyote Ugly" and "Nick Vujicic" at the start of my entry today?
Special reasons of course...
Now let me bring you into the pea-brainy thoughts of mine...

Firstly, Nick Vujicic was the highlight of the Lent Unplugged 2009 talk we had last night in Room F7, illustrations and further explanations given by Mr. Derek Chong. I'd say that the session was filled with 101 feelings for myself. But I was caught by the life of Nick. And obviously, about significance in life. Am I where I should be at this moment? This was the only question running on my mind these days, ever since the night I found out about how people may be less supportive when I'm not doing what they think I should do. But again and again, God affirms me and comforts me that He's in charge of my life. That's why this entry is dedicated to no one but You, Daddy God! Hehehe...

Let's see what else I have on my notes... Derek mentioned about Psalm 139, especially verse 14 which says this: "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well." What he was relating to is this: No matter how we are, how we looks like, how we fare in work or studies, how we relate with people, when God sees us, He'll always say, "You're simply great!" That's how important, how significant we are in His eyes. And praise Him for His love for us! Besides that, God is also not satisfied with giving us just good stuffs, but He wants us to have the very very best. From the videos about Nick Vujicic and Derek's talk, what I picked up from there are these: "There are so many reasons to give up, BUT, there are also A LOT OF REASONS why we should NOT give up." and "It matters not how we might fall, but how we finish it, whether we'll finish it strong." And God still sees me as "simply great" even I could be "simply the worst person ever alive on earth". And because of that, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Now, about Coyote Ugly... A movie I watched right before entering roman letters that eventually form words which will gradually form an article on my blog. This movie was made in 2000. Almost 10 years ago. It is about this girl from a small town wanting to be a songwriter in the big city of New York. Started out as someone who was nervous, low self-esteem, always saying "no" to things she could do but decides she couldn't do it before she even tried, to become a coyote who danced on the bar, singing with the jukebox, capturing crowds with her voice and dance and self. Seeing growth in a low self-esteemed individual to become a confident individual willing to step onto the stage to sing her own song to the crowd, and eventually getting her song sang by LeAnn Rimes.

Why am I talking about this movie together with Nick Vujicic? One is just a worldly movie with entertaining elements and fun, another is a pastor who motivates people with his life. Both shared the same element - the significance of life and the purpose of living it. The main character in Coyote Ugly lived out her dream by seeking it even when she got down-trodden. Nick Vujicic never gives up his life or be depressed having no limbs. It is an affirmation to me that everyone can live out their dreams, everyone has the equal rights of choosing the lives they want to live, and we are precious in the eyes of God. No matter what happens, God will cradle me with His fatherly love in the form of motherly hands. And He will never ever forsake His people. And He gave us JESUS to be the light of our world, the lamp unto our feet.

The Holy Week in the Catholic Church calendar starts from this evening, or tomorrow morning - Palm Sunday. As we prepare to experience the Lord's Resurrection in our lives through His passion as the week goes down to Good Friday, let us all reflect upon the love of the Father who gave us His only begotten Son because of the love He has for His people on earth, and anyone who believes in Him will not perish but may have eternal life (refer to John 3:16). Not only that, when Christ came with the mission to save us, He came with another mission so that we may have life, and the life given is to be lived to the fullest (refer to John 10:10). And so, all you who are reading, be happy that the Lord is our Saviour! Amen!

Love Phobia (도마뱀)

I watched a korean movie just now on an online movie website, which I think is a beautiful love story and I'd like to share with you all some of the images I searched online. It reminded me of a korean guy who had created some beautiful memories with me some years back. There wasn't anything between us, and now we've lost contact totally, yet, the memories of this guy was pure and untainted. You can read some info on the movie by clicking at the link to IMDb --> Domabaem (2006).

P/S: I know I probably will never get to contact this korean guy again in my life, but I thank God for giving me this part of my life, because it was truly a beautiful memory that brings smiles to my face everytime I remember him. I know he doesn't know of my blog, but I'd still like to take this opportunity to thank him for the memories he had given me, plus the two korean books he gave me as a farewell gift.

호근오빠,고마워!

The Age of Movie Days

There was a period of time since 2007 to 2008 where watching movies was like going shopping for me. There was a friend, my constant companion for more than 365 days, who would be crazy enough to watch movies with me. All genre I'd say, unless it was a super-bad reviewed movie, we'd go for the movies for sure. I'd say my favourites were "Ratatouille" and "The Game Plan"... I remember watching "Blacksheep" somewhere last year, a movie on bioterrorism and genetic mutation and weird sheeps being vampire-ish. It was sort of a scary movie for me, I think I had lots of sound effects also. Somehow I sort of regretted not watching "Evan Almighty" instead... But God had a greater plan than just movies for me about "Evan Almighty"... But of course, "Blacksheep" is much better than "Quarantine" as there was an ending to the story, with the promise of a sequel (which I might not watch it if I were to go alone~~~)

Okay... What was the gist is this... I met some new friends right after the movie that day... My friend's friend and his girlfriend. Surprisingly the gf and me sort of struck a chord together and kept in touch up to this point... Ok, what's the other point? Few days ago she sent me this sms (guessing chinese characters making a sentence) which I couldn't decipher. After figuring out for a day plus, I gave in and asked her for answers... Well, sms went after sms... So she mentioned about watching movie together when we are free since we hadn't been watching any movie together since June if not mistaken... My friend, myself, her boyfriend and herself. Names were mentioned specifically! Haha! Great... At a point... I was a bit stuck as I didn't really know how to reply... I could only answer the typical "See how la when I get back" sort of answer knowing that chances are we probably wouldn't watch movies together until further notice. What a fib I am!! Sorry, gal... Too many things happened recently... If only you knew, but I don't you would... LOL! Sad tale, but I believe more happy tales will come for us soon~~~ Readers dearie... Pray for us! (those who know what story I have now and those who don't know...)

Now I can only ask God to provide me with the strength to carry on today... Another long and interesting day later~~ Can't wait to go to the beach with my colleagues~~ Yaya!!! I want good lunch also with Mirina... Hahahahaha!

Counting down... 28.5 hours to Inner Healing journey...

Quarantine & Madagascar 2

We had a movie marathon! After watching gruesome Quarantine, we decided to watch Madagascar 2 to "wash down" the after-taste of Quarantine. I still find missing link to the former, but somehow there will never be an answer... But through the wikipedia's explanation, I finally know that the guy we saw at the end of the show who ate Scott (the cameraman) in the movie was the "man from Boston" who rented the penthouse. (Joanne, apparently they went up instead of going down...)

Good thing I enjoyed both the movies as much, though I actually had watched Madagascar 2 last week with some others. I still laughed at all the wrong spots. It doesn't really matter... It made me cry a little... Especially the part when Alex went to find Marty, and the part where Melman expressed how Moto-moto should treat his beloved Gloria. It made me sad somehow... I don't know why... Twice also the same scenes. I guess these two scenes probably reminded me of something... Which I still don't know. Oh... Be it!

Thank God for the "money providence" by CG. I shall return what was given next month. I had already expected the answer to be "No" when I thickened my face to borrow RM50 from somebody who I shouldn't even have asked. I was merely lazy to drive down to the gas station to get my last RM50 from the MBB ATM, which I already did when I received the sms reply. So it doesn't really make any difference.

LOL! Till then... Adios amigo~

My Favourite Scene from V for Vendetta

30 Days of Night

I remember this movie I watched with friends - 30 Days of Night - about how vampires roaming around, jumping on rooftop, attacking people, burning down town during the one month of darkness when the sun wouldn't show its face onto the North Pole. And how this group of people defended themselves and their town.

What brings back this memory is that I never truly get scared of horror movies, but this movie sort of sunk into my memory. A smile was on my face as I remembered how my friend tried to scare me on the way to Kinarut at night saying that those vampires would jump onto my car, forcing their way into my car etc. At that moment, I really freaked out coz my car windows were opened slightly to let the cold air in, even though I also knew that the vampires from 30 Days of Night DON'T exist in Malaysia!! LOL! It was just a freaky joke at night as we drove all the way from KK to Kinarut on a dark, winding road up the hill to our destination.

How lame was the joke which made me smile whenever I think of this fond memory!
