Movies! Movies! More MOVIES!!!!!!!

I got myself DVD player yesterday. Not a branded one, but good enough to play my whole collection. And as a bonus, it actually plays DivX format! That means all my downloaded CSIs, The Simpsons, and House can be watch on TV! Best of all, it cost me RM 95 for that small thing. Anyway, that's the first time my mum didn't want to pay for it. Hahahaha.. I guess, its time for me to get a life of my own.

Anyway back to movies. Year 2007 is a year of exciting movies. Well at least to me, I'm sure of it. Okay, let's see a few of my highly anticipated movie list:

1. Spider-Man 3

I read bout the reviews in IMDb. They either hate it or love it. 8.2 /10 for the ratings, shouldn't be that bad huh i guess. Anyway, not interested in the love story between the hero and Mary Jane. I still wonder why that name. Well sue me for not being a Kirsten Dunst's fan. Well, back to the movie, Spider-man turns evil, and the complexity of friendship between him and Harry Osbourne. Well don't forget bout the villain who killed his Uncle Ben, Sandman which can turn his body into any shape of sand as he sees fit. In another plot, he discovers a mysterious black substance that turned his suit jet-black and brings out his darker side which amplifies his powers. Somehow, I felt that there's too many sub-plots in a superhero movie. In another hand, it promises lots of high-quality action and CGIs. What can u ask more?

Opening: 4th May (Malaysia)

2. Shrek 3

Shrek 3 is coming soon!!! Who doesn't love the green ogre with his ex-beauty turns ogre wife Princess Fiona who masters in martial arts? And the Donkey who married a fire-breathing dragon and bearing 3 donk-gons/ dra-keys (combination of donkey+dragon). And the newest in the team is the teary eyed Puss in Boots voiced by the sexy Antonio Banderas. The plot is always unpredictable, using all well-known fairy tale characters. The story in this 2nd sequel is about King Harold falling ill and the kingdom of Far Far Away was taken over by Shrek and Fiona. However they determined to find an heir to the throne and return to their simple life in the swamp. But everything went wrong. Worse still, Prince Charming plots to take over the throne. Well, watching the trailer only has been making me waiting anxiously to watch the movie. Can't wait for the premier!

Opening: 31st May (Malaysia)

3. The Simpsons Movie

"Doh!" The famous expression made famous by Homer Simpson. Apparently, I can't find any friends who will the movie with me. Perhaps it's because it's all about American culture. While most film makers concentrate on 3D animations, this movie will still be two-dimensional. It's a story about a dysfunctional family in a suburb American community. I've been following this cartoon since it was first aired in Malaysia and it has been favorite for my brothers and I. As usual, the story will be focusing on the Simpson Family. It is said that Homer will be trying to save his family from some disasters which he started. Typical Homer Simpson's blunders.

Opening: 26th July (Malaysia)

4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Looking at the posters itself could tell that it will be interesting for this 5th movie from the infamous Harry Potter. 5th year in Hogwarts, the plot thickens and the story is getting darker. Well to all HP fans out there, there's no need to introduce the story in this sequel. Some might say that the movies pales in comparison to it's books. I'm doubtful of this sequel as it's my least favorite book in J.K. Rowling's series. But well, I guess there's nothing wrong to indulge in some magical mystical world of Harry Potter. Who doesn't love magic by the way?

Opening: 12th July (Malaysia)





There's the 4 movies that I'll be anxiously waiting to watch it in the next 2 months.

So, bring the popcorns and sodas and let's go to the cinema!

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
