Its been awhile since i watch a good movie, oh wait let me rephrase that
Its been awhile since i catch a movie which was good.

So gendeng ask me out for a movie after a brief meeting, and the only movie im dying to watch other then Flight Plan and Into the Blue was Domino.

Im a sucker for 'base on a true story' kinda movie.

Because its a true story im drawn to the main character, and begin to question her actions, i have a 'thing' watching rebellious female characters.

The last female character that i was very drawn with was Aileen Wuornos, the serial killer. Ive watched Monster which starred Charlize Theron as well as her real life documentary both the first and second parter, The Selling of A Serial Killer (1992) & Life and Death of A Serial Killer (2003) - which i dragged Gendeng my beloved beau then to watch with me when it was having its rare premier here in Singapore for a few days.
I was smitten with Aileen (now, not in that 'sort' of way if you get my drift), but im also confused with her personality, although the crimes that she had done disgust me i could not help but felt a sense of pitiness towards her after i watch the other side of her who was actually a warmth person.

Anyways right not I'm smitten with Domino Harvey, ive been researching and reading about her life to compare with the movie which by the way although its base on a true story, the plot wasnt entirely true,(it was kind of them to actually mention that before the movie started). Im intrigue with this woman who chose to be a bounty hunter, her fetish for having 'some fun' was violence, strong headed,and someone who was restless in finding her true identity.

The movie doesnt actually depicts her true life story but nonetheless very entertaining in a very artsy way. Yups those who prefer watching a movie without much headache and twist, you wouldnt want to watch this. This is because the cinematography is very arty-farty, which wasnt really hardcore if you dont mind the occassional flashbacks, the narrator repitition dialogues and its raw feel to it, think 'Spun' or 'City of God'. The pace may be draggy at the beginning but it will pick up soon after and you will be drawn to it and gripping to your seat to know what happen next because frustation may overcome you when each twist was uncovered.

Well i may exaggerate the part about 'gripping' to your seat, in case anybody curse me that it wasnt worth of their $8.50 and that they didnt actually grip to their seats, keep in mind this is my point of view and yes that was the truth i was gripping to my seat because of the suspense as well as the bloody theatre was very very cold,since i can count with my fingers the people who watch the movie therefore not much body heat was produced, according to gendeng if the movie will end much later he would have froze and die in there, hehee

Im glad Gendeng kinda like the movie,

Spoiler*

one of the perks is you get to watch Keira Knightly tits who played Domino in the movie.

Heh..

The last thing i want to happen to me when Syawal is approaching is to fall sick,
It always happens every year,sigh...
Been sneezing non stop, and i feel ditzy...urrrghh bloody irritating

Haizz got to go, one final trip to ikea with mama, and i surrender myself afterwards,

Tired tired tired

So last Sunday was such an exhilarating night for me, i finally went Geylang with my childhood friends. Surprisingly most of us had not managed to pop by Geylang till that Sunday.

The trip to Geylang wasnt just a typical outing but its in conjunction with Miss Islyana birthday, so we made her wish come true by choosing the venue that she suggested (since she said she hadnt time to go geylang),but without her realising that this outing was to commemorate her Birthday! She assume this was just a normal 'iftar' session!

At the same time, it could not be more wonderful when Faie (who surprised us by coming) and Farhan (its our first time reuniting with him) joined us..

Isly was moved so much by the gesture that she cried,
Apparently none of us wish her on her birthday which was on 19th Oct, she thought that we had forgotten her birthday, seriously Isly for who you are as a person that gives so much laughter and fun to our group how can we let your birthday slipped from our minds?? If that happens we all deserve some spanking from you, no doubt about it :)


Islyana feeling overwhelmed when we presented her with a cake after we all had our 'iftar'

As if cutting a cake was not traumatising enough for her, she never expected to receive any gifts from us, so upon receiving 2 gifts from all of us, she was so astonished that her tears began to fall uncontrollably,



Group Photo: Spot the Difference ;)





The most AMAZING thing about last Sunday excursion was, how we all keep bumping into familiar faces!

It was utmost pleasant to see Fadzlin again! Gosh its been donkey years really, another Qihuaian, who is now engaged to a classmate of mine..

We also bumped into Nadia! Too bad no photo was taken, still the same petite Nadia but more chic!

Really eh its as if the whole of malay population in Singapore was in geylang!

Anyways towards the end of our meet up, we decided to sneak behind Farhan to where he park his bike, because coincidentally his Birthday was the day before, so we all decided to sing him a birthday song. Hahaa i still cannot get over the shock on his face!!! His expression was so stunned!!
Heh backtracking a bit, Farhan used to be the notorious one back then, a guy who shamelessly tease and bully girls and a guy who talks so much nonsense and plus yeah he's a 'gembeng' (crybaby) too! Surprise surprise he's a changed man yes MAN, rather shy now..


Farhan the pimp!



Sometimes i surprise myself and wonder where and when did the time fly by so fast and now we all have grown up, and especially seeing some people ive not seen for ages and notice how much they've change :)

So yeps, im still giddy from last Sunday outing, and whats more happening is our Qihuaians group will increase for our Raya outing soon! Looking forward to that!

++++++++++++

To Miss Islyana,

Happy 21st Birthday Woman!
Hope Last Sunday affair was something to be remembered for a long time to come,
You no matter what you think will always be someone I respect and adore for the person that you are.
Memories with you that i still treasure
I just want you to know, you are one of those 'Exciting' person ive ever come across with,without much pretense you are 'what you see is what you get' kinda persona, and i love you to bits for that!
So woman, despite all the rots and pits that you go through, keep on smiling and hold your head high for what you are worth!
Take care and see you soon babe!

Time
Where did you go
WHy did you leave me here alone
Wait
Don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror
And the world's getting clearer
so wait for me
This time

I'm down
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion)
You don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)

Now I've looked in the mirror
And the world's getting clearer
I'll take what you give me
Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me
This time

I should've known better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away

Now
This is my time
And I'm gonna make this moment mine
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me
Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me
This time
This time..

Ever felt that you are always running out of time..? Well this song describes exactly
that sentiment..

++++++++++++

Woke up this morning to a new colored wall, the smell of fresh pain still lingers
Finally got the painting done last night,
Threw away several furnitures in my room again..
So for now the room looks very bare and 'naked' heh

Oh yeah my baby is back! aka my digicam..
It is safely back in my arms, i promise this time i will give more TLC..
And the best thing i did not pay for the repair fee of $252! Good thing mama found out, initially i kept it from her so that she wont freak out, and i thought i will just pay it on my own..Apparently the technician told me the lens of my camera is spoiled. Then mama found out, and i got her nagging indefinitely but the best thing mama being the 'Queen of Bargain' that she is,managed to get the guy to waiver the fee!!not a single cent!!

Ok got to go, mama been storming the whole house to get everything clean up..haizz lucky i got plans in the afternoon, cabutz!!!Poor Ayah and adik heh..

Yeps manage to squeeze the very little time i had and do a little bit of shopping
for my room..



Half done a few more stuffs to buy,haizz if only we have 48hrs in a day..

+++++++

Im really really tired, to be honest not much preparation has been done yet for raya, since many have been asking me this and that for the upcoming festive season..

Everything is cramp up, so many impending stuffs to do, so little time.

And yes ive not even visit Geylang yet, people say its the last year so even if im reluctant to go, i should still go...get it? But then again that's what i heard a couple of years back. Somehow memories i have for geylang were the times when i was still a little girl, it was different, back then it always felt that it was a compulsory to go Geylang every ramadhan, now as everyone knows its a place where you see many people 'dress to kill', i do not need to stereotype who, everyone know la right..

Ok, 2 more weeks to go,very fast right..?

Till then..

i desperately need to run after time, it wont wait..

Haizz

Yes i change my blog template, been wanting to do this,
New 'old' room so why not refresh my template here as well kan.

Deciding on this template takes consideration as well hahaa, it goes well with
my new 'old' room which is still undone.

I like this template, simple and easy on the eye and plus i change
my tagboard using the flashboard now.. Looks cool i think.

Heh.

***********

But as refreshing as this looks, ive been worrying the whole day today..

Ever since the demise of nenek elder sister, nenek dont look well. She's grieving over her sister. She never said it loud but well my aunt notice the change in her.

And today nenek has been vomitting non-stop, to us this is not normal. Nenek have never been sick, well occasional leg pain and flu is normal but seeing her so weak and frail for the first time, shook me badly.

Seeing her trembling after she vomits, her pained look as she struggles to control herself and until she cannot take it.

And although i have always heard friends of mine shared their stories over caring for their sick grandparents, it never occured to me that i will have hands on to it, mopping the floor today after she vomits from her room and all the way to the kitchen. Now im not complaining but i just cannot accept that nenek was so weak today to not even control herself before she reaches the toilet, i took for granted all this while that she has always been strong. Although she's almost 80, i have always been so proud of her because at this age she is still capable of most things than people of her age are not able too..

As much i'm not trying to be ignorant, i know shes getting older and she's always saying that she wont be long anymore, today i see her in a different light, ive realised she has indeed gotten old and in need.

Every ramadhan nenek never failed to bake her signature pineapple tarts and makmurs that all her family members simple love, this year for the first time after all these years she wont be making it. Mama said 'nenek dah tak kuat, i want her to rest', i was sulking because to me without getting to smell the aroma of her baking the kueh something is amiss during ramadhan. But then again when i saw her today, i have to agree i just want her to sit back and rest.

Nenek get well soon, i pray for you.

See see!!! didnt i say so!!!!

The Nano fad has not died down yet and now they have this???

Which is even better because it can play videos.

This is insane, when it was only yesterday that im sure i will settle for Nano and not be bothered by any other upcoming ipods.

But how can anyone resist the better version balls!!!!

sheeeeshhhhhh!!!!!

Hey today it wasnt shitty at all!

Work still sucks but today not so bad, so glad when i got off from work to meet elfy.
Yeps the fish & co date did happen! Waited for her to finish work at 7pm while i seek refuge at my comfort zone. Wherelse? Orchard Library, manage to borrow a few books and darn, spot an eye candy in the library!! Hehee somehow i find it a turn on to see a guy submerging himself in books.

So instead of going to the usual FISH & CO @ Glasshouse, i suggested the branch at Centrepoint, not as crowded and i find it cosier there.

Seafood Platter for two plus Mussels with butter and lemon sauce that comes with baguette, so shiok!!

Yakkety yak yak, that's what we did, talking non-stop. Its been almost 2 weeks we didnt meet each other.

Walk around the mall and showed her the ALDO's heels that im so infatuated with, went to Robinson and more killer heels from ninewest and jwest, jwest being slightly cheaper, sigh..then we saw pretty clutch bags as well as handbags, afterwards headed to BobbiBrown where Elfy went to survey the cost of the make-up brush set, with all the beautiful arrays of colors i was contemplating that maybe it will be no harm splurging on one or two from BobbiBrown.. Haizz and to think only yesterday i said i will not resort to impulsive purchases, today it was a different thing altogether!! Sakit tau mata tengok benda-benda macam ni!

Later on, i keep bumping into people ive not met for quite awhile, saw anis with her boyfriend still looking very much in love totally oblivious with people around them until i tapped on her back, sweet couple. Then when i reached Woodlands, it was a pleasant surprise when it was someone else who tapped on me while i was oblivious to the people around me with Damien Rice's Blower's Daughter blasting on my ears. It was David! He's already back from Switzerland 2 months back, man was so excited when i saw him! hahaa then in the bus met Su who just got back from geylang.. What fun to see familiar faces!

And to end the day, i had a conversation with someone, feel at ease since i have to admit as much as i tried not too, i miss him,hah! I mean its not like we got into a big fight or anything before that its just that i wanted some space for myself..

Had a wonderful chat with mama just now, great today is great when all things ends well!

Oh but the only thing that im disappointed about, is the return home of my 'baby' is being delayed la! How i miss my 'baby', its ok another week wont kill. heh.

Ok so here i am taking a break in the midst of sprucing up my room, Part 1.
Part 1 because for tonight i only have enough energy to clean up my wardrobe after my parents has been pestering me to get rid of my white side cupboard since its no longer in a good shape.

Part 2 will be my study area, i'll do it tomorrow or the day after.

Then the painting of my room, which i still have not decide which tone i want, i
have decided the colour but not the tone,haizz im just fickle minded at the same time
im afraid that the final tone wont turn out right.

Then my pending trip to ikea, to usher some 'little' furnitures. Plus some other trinkets as well and many other things, which i still do not know if have the time..

Im just so exhausted, by the time i got home all i wanna do was to land on my bed.

Then i promise mama that i'll be in charge of kuih making this year, now i dont know if i can manage that.

Plus i have not gotten any baju yet!! i would have run amok if this is last year but strange is this time the excitement is not as much. Feels strange not sending any 'kain' to my tailor in JB. Probably i'll elope with mama for a night to across the causeway la, seen some really pretty ones in the magazines.

Oh dear, there is so many things on my mind, which is better anyways so i wont have time to miss someone.

Finally decided that my upcoming pay i will not resort to impulsive purchases, heh really! Need to prioritise certain things and for the new 'little' things for my room.

Anyways, i realise my room have a lot of junks, things i could not part away with although if mama were to just storm in my room, she would just dump everything. I cant help it, some of these junks are precious la, for keepsakes but then again sitting here i got no choice if the 'visual' of my new boudoir that i have in mind is somehow spotless from junks, i think i have to throw away some if not i'll stuff it somewhere, hehee..

Ok better get back to cleaning up, tomorrow is another shitty day at work. I hate this company. Bloody inkaputs! Racists as well, and fuck they are an establish company, i just cant wait for 2 weeks to end, suckers!!

By the way today was the most shitty day, got ripped off by the cab driver early in the morning, by paying him $23.50, shit i told him the other route was faster. There goes my cash, i was saving for tomorrow for my fish & co date with Elfy, which ive been craving badly eh. Elfy probably not goin to like it if i tell her we have to postpone again. Bloody hell.

Ok, thats it, if i grumbled more about my shitty day i will start boiling again i might as well end here and get on with my draining energy because i bloody hell need to sleep.

Have a bloody good day tomorrow everyone.

+++++++++++++++

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
~My Immortal~

So mama came back with goodies!! Hah!! Trust me, eventhough she went to a
funeral, it doesnt stop her to do some shopping before she came back! Poor Ayah! hehee being dragged by my mama,i know how much he loathes shopping.

I got shoes!! Ok mama didnt suddenly became generous, actually beforehand i told her to get me 'the one' which i failed to buy on my previous trip and ive been losing my sleep ever since (that part exaggerated of course heh) but yeah, i fall in love with a pair of heels at Primavera (KLCC), the moment i slipped it on my feet, i knew it was 'the one'! A perfect shoes for Hari Raya, which made me 'tall' and sexy at the same time.. but me being fickle minded decided that i should check out other stores to see if there were other cheaper shoes that still made me look 'tall' and sexy, though my parents insisted to just buy 'the one'. Oh well in the end i didnt came back to the shop.

Back in Singapore i went to the outlet over here, the only branch here i know is at Junction 8. Seriously you guys should check it out, you will be ooh-ing and aahh-ing and then squeakking at all the shoes (both men & ladies), and they all look like designer shoes and they got really pretty wedges you should drool at! Like i said its at Junction 8 but its tucked at the end before you cross to the bishan interchange. Ok back to my hunt, as expected i know Singapore did not have that model. I was disappointed until mama told me that shes goin to Kl.

After calling me countless times for directions to the shop (biasala KlCC besar kan), and asking me for the descriptions for the shoe that i wanted, i prayed that my mama got the right one! Strange thing was, after i hang up with her when she told me that she found it, i had a dream while i took my nap and that my my mama bought the wrong pair!!! EEEiikkks!! I remembered clearly it was red, wooly, very netty type good for christmas! So when she came back i was hesitating to open the 'red'(how ironic) shoe box, and told her abt my dream, and guess what when i finally did open my shoe box, indeed it was the wrong pair, darn!! heh but no worries it wasnt as bad as the one in my dream in fact its better!! My mama got me a pair of open-toe heels in black, velvety material, very simple, and yeaps ive fallen in love head over 'heels' with it! Thank goodness!!! hehee

But the thing is, i think im gonna fall in love with 2 after i saw another pair at ALDO's the other day, sigh..damnation! Im dead set to buy that pair too..

So its ok right to fall in love with 2? I promise i will be fair to both and that i will give my undivided attention to each.. can can??Baidah can right?

Haizz,hah, i hope this falling in love with 2 doesnt apply to 'the one' as in 'the perfect man' la, haha shoes and man,similar in some ways..? I hope so not!

+++++++++++

Ive been living on MTV mode today.
MTV Mode??

You know when you are out and plug in to your MP3 and block out all the atmos sound around you..? I discovered something when i did that today,

The best song to listen after the office hours on the way back or on the way to work is : Alanis Morsette, Ironic
Why? Because today when i was walking at the link way at Dhoby Ghaut from NEL to North South line, and as i saw people rushing about ,the song just fits perfectly, i dont know if this make sense, its just my visualisation going random heh..

And besides, how weird after living my whole life in Singapore i still cannot adapt to the fast mode life here, people are always rushing..

Tomorrow is the second day of ramadhan, not bad first day went by like a breeze, another 29 more days to go, i can smell ramadhan its different from normal days..

ok whatever, certain days when unexpectedly my 'merepek-ness' crept up.

Happy Fasting to my fellow muslims :)

Last Friday was another celebration to welcome another Childhood friend to Club 21!
Changi Aloha was the place and boy did we had fun!! Worth the exhausting trip to and fro la! Without a doubt we were all a boisterous bunch (we must have shocked Zif's friends!), laughing the night away and im not surprise that those 'unknown' creatures that probably was lurking somewhere in the eerie dark place were irritated by these humans who laughs unconsiderately Loud!!

Hehee, it was a joyous occasion so everyone was feeling merry and high, i had tears in my eyes from too much laughter! (definitely made me feel a whole better when i was upset earlier in the day with someone)

So here are some of the pics from last friday's chalet,






Most of my childhood friends came with their partner, (i didnt notice until now that most of them are attached!) *sob sob*i was dateless but what the heck right?!fortunately islyana came to my rescue!she's my date for the night!no regrets!

The couples




By the way we rock the Dining area! Eating to our hearts content (ehem i actually save my lunch and dinner specially for the chalet ok! hehe),but obviously if there's isly and me on the same table, eating wont be a peaceful thing! We just love cracking jokes and laugh,thus distracting the others from finishing up their food! Sorry guys!





Oh and we made use of the practicability of the dining table,heehee




Notice Zul and Nas holding hands,haha look at their faces clearly they are very straight guys,cant say for Zif though,his expression was sexed up hehee!!








HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY AZ!! By the way your birthday party was so much fun, we were still talking about it after 2 days over how exciting it had been!

+++++++++++++

Actually i would have opt to sleep early tonight since i will be having an early day tomorrow, but im still waiting for my parents to come back home from KL, they went yesterday to visit my dad's relative over there, his uncle had passed away..

Anyways, yesterday was my virgin night at home all alone! I'm always the one away from home, not the other way round, ok my parents had gone to umrah but that was when i was 11 and during that time i had my nenek and counsins over, so yesterday my younger sister decided to sleep over my counsin's place and well i was kinda scared actually, my house looks huge when no one is around, tried to persuade Elfy to sleep over but she had kenduri to prepare for the next day,bummer..sighh..so yeps, i slept all alone, closed my door and tucked myself in and sleep hoping that i'll be safe for the night!

Mama was right, i miss their presence man!

*my condolonces to Elfy and her family whose grandfather passed away a few days back, shes was devastated over the passing, sorry to hear about the news babe..And also to my uncle whos brother passed away too in JB last week, and to my surprise the past few weeks ive been hearing a lot of the demise of loved ones.. Ramadhan is approaching and to lose your loved ones is pretty hard..

Another pressing issue is the latest bombings in Bali, its very disturbing that it had occured again but at the same time, with so many series of events happening this year, i just cant bring myself to hear all the updates from the news.. Its repitition and nothing has been done yet, sigh..sad sad.. come to think of it, i dont think i will consider Bali for my next destination for a vacation, the bombings has tarnished the reputation of the paradise island and most probably Indonesia,well that's my point of view..

To all, Selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan!

Hehee a few more days! Nenek came already tonight (she always celebrate ramadhan and raya here) best best!! Having her around during fasting month is always enjoyable!
