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...

Whirlwind

It has been a whirlwind like for the past month. Had a depresive episode and anxiety attack last month, and still recovering from it. This is not the first time in depression, but it scares me alot compare to the last one some 12 years ago. I find myself gasping for air, reaching out for help, so that i can stay afloat in the midst of darkness and drowining. I remembered Kel alot during the past month or so.. the mental image of him lifeless, reminds me again and again, that I need to hang on in there, and put in effort to be alive. I am thankful to God in many ways, to give me the courage to walk out from this unscathed. Rather, I was given the chance to learn who I am as a person. I was exposed to my own shortcomings even when I refuse to see it, I was challenged to 'let go' to things and emotional burden that I have been carrying all this while. I spoke to more people in the past month then I ever spoke to in the year before. I knew I was desperate, and I needed to see and...

My Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...
