Movie

I has just finished New Moon: The Movie. I had sat in the cinema for 2 hours to watch this highly anticipated movie. Not by me--by the people all around the world. New Moon has never been my top of must-watch list in this year. I'm not totally keyed up, I guess you know why now. But, of course, I have finished the book before I watched this movie. It broke my record as I finished New Moon in only 2 days. Yeppie! So, I would have noticed whatever stories that have been removed in the movie. Frankly, many have been removed.

Today is Friday, not to mention a public holiday. The ticket price is RM10 each. Surprisingly, ticket price is actually RM8 and the other RM2 is government tax.

I went to Aeon Jusco to watch this movie, together with my mother and sister. My sister has come back from Kampar just to watch the movie. Oh no, and also to watch 2012. I am not a fan of disaster movie, nor do I believe such a nonsense about the end of the world. Calender is used to tell time, not to predict future, ok? Entering the hall upon 7.35pm. Proud to say I had selected wonderful seats. Not too high not too low. The only disappointing thing is the air-con. It's not cold.

Well, I endure myself in the hall for 2 hours. The story is not so interesting. Nothing made my adrenaline pumped. The only two extraordinarily interesting are the scene where the two werewolves fight and the battle between Edward and the Volturi, which ended quite badly. Luckily saves by Bella, or a real gory vampire movie will be on screen which send creeps and receive criticism simultaneously. Oh, not to mention those beautiful scarlet eyes, and the most beautiful vampire portrayed by Dakota Fanning. Emm.....I don't know who is more beautiful, she or Alice Cullen.

The movie is....just ok. Many stories have been removed from the book. The ending is different. No Charlie. The conversation on the plane is also removed. The only thing that makes me happy is the shorter stories of Bella and Jacob. Thanks to the time limits many parts have been cut. Thank god. The two of them together feels to me like....preposterous. In the movie, Jacob appearance is like 70% and Edward 30%, Bella is almost 100%, maybe a little shorter, 95%. I don't know. If you despise Kristen Stewart, forget about it. If you detest Taylor Lautnet, go buy 2012 and watch it instead. Storyline just ok. But I'm looking forward for Eclipse, the story seems better. My rating for New Moon: 6/10. Oh, just as a reminder. Do not trust the subtitles implicitly. I know my chinese is not very good, but I'm good enough to know "dating" is not "做爱". It should be "约会". Anyway, the actors and actress are articulate, subtitles aren't needed.

Engrish 2

Yep, I know. I posted engrish before. But engrish is just so amusing till I can't resist the urge to laugh everytime I see them. This time I'm going to post randomly, not according to their ratings. Enjoy.

Passport and New Moon

This morning I went to make passport, so that I can go to Singapore. The government servants are all the same, they all work in such an annoyingly slow pace. My mother was incandescent with rage, luckily she didn't go mental. It took us too long! Anyway we still manage to make one, for me.

Our school Pancaragam's bus met an accident. The bus driver lost control of the bus and drove down into the drain. So far, I heard that there are no casualties, I hope they are alright.

I bought Galaxie today. My sister has been pestering me to buy Team Edward for her, as only Team Jacob is available in Kampar. I bought Team Edward eventually. My sister is an avid fan of Robert Pattinson. I don't know why. I don't like Robert. He looks so filthy and unkempt. Isn't he? Anyway, which do you prefer?

So far I have read about 200+ pages of the hot selling New Moon. The story about Jacob and Bella together really doesn't interest me. But I heard that the ending is better. I'll finish the book (about 500+pages), before I watch the movie. Movies never do better than books! Please note this!! So far, I have read till 322, still no Cullens...erh....

Gotta go, I wanna finish this book.

New Moon

The highly anticipated New Moon has just broken the biggest midnight opening and also becomes the biggest weekend opening movie film in 2009. It opens in US and gross $140,700,000 in 3 days time. Wah!! I must watch this on Friday. Personally I don't find anything interesting. The story about Jacob and Bella doesn't engage me (Bella is supposed to be with Edward!). I couldn't bear it and didn't finish the book. If the film is that successful, I think I will read it again. So, New Moon, here I come. Twilight doesn't work out as expected, too many stories has been cut, making Twilight movie kind of boring. I hope New Moon succeed. ^^

Ironic Encounter at Cherok Tok Kun

I went to Cherok Tok Kun this evening, together with my father and mother. I hadn't been there for quite a while, since I was busied with PMR.

I'm going to make this short and simple, in order to avoid being bored.

I encountered few things that are exceptionally weird and funny:

1. I met a woman, around 30s (I guess), having a surprisingly heavy make-up. Her eyebrows were so fake, like drawn. And her eyes were like bruised. so black! Shit, she is more terrifying than my nightmares.

2. A man bringing his so-called 'honey' pet up the hills. If you love your dog, you wouldn't bring him up. He looked suffered. Pity. And use your common sense, will you? Do a dog need that much exercise?

3. A monkey scratched his groin. No, you didn't get me wrong. The GROIN. A monkey scratched his groin in front of me, while I was drinking my bottle of water. I nearly choked and suffocated. It's funny. Yes, it's funny. At the same time I felt a bit insulted. I had an adrenaline rush to point my middle finger at him.

And last.......

A snake a day--even a fake one--keeps the monkeys away,

says Dr. Wacko, my friendly neighbourhood vet.

Remember this photo? This photo was posted in The Star (Thumbnails section) yesterday. I chanced on looking this with my own eyes. I'm pretty sure this photo was taken from Tok Kun. They looked alike.

Weirdly, when the monkeys looked at the fake snake, they cringed. Some of them shrieked, some of them fled. Ironic isn't it?

Well, it's just a short journey up to the hill. I guess the ironic encounter are suffice, ya?

Facebook

Weeks long of holidays have prompted me to create a facebook account. And I did. I managed to create a facebook account. Making friends is currently in progress. Sadly I don't have a handphone to satisfy my friends.

My father has planned to bring us on holiday. He might bring us to Cameron Highlands or KL. Surprisingly, he agrees to let me and my mother go to Singapore, a place where he refuses to go for years. Am I dreaming or what? I don't know. I guess I have to wait until I wake up. I'm not all keyed up. But I might go if he permits.

After watching 4bia, I find Thai horror extremely engaging. Therefore, I dig up Body #19 from the internet.

Body #19 aka Body, Body sob 19, is a Thai horror directed by Paween Purijitpanya (4bia-Tic for Tat, Phobia 2 -Novice). Body is Paween's first film. It surprises me because he might have directed a film like a profesional. Those visual effect, angles seem to have been difficult for a new director. I love this movie. Damn I love the music. Body #19 is strongly recommended for those who loves Thai horror. It is not very scary (due to CGIs effect), but the suspense, plot and most importantly, the twist will definitely make you wanting to watch the film from the beginning till the end. The plot is great. No banalities. Strongly recommended. My rating : 9/10. Next horror movie on the watch : Alone, directed by Parkpoom Wongpoom (4bia-Last Fright, Phobia 2-Salvage) and Banjong Pisathanakun (4bia-In the Middle, Phobia 2-In the End).

End of 3A5

The last day of me spending my school life in 3A5. Next year I'll be in form 4 classes, most probably science. This is one debatable question I don't want to dwell on.

Not many students were present in school. Only a few: Girls were Li Yan, Jia Xin, Cho Sing, Zhen Nie. Boys were Kai Zhe, me, Yong Jie, Kok Chew, Tze Wei. Derrick was there in school, but disappear right upon 7.30am and reappear upon 1.19pm precisely, to get his things packed to go home. He spent less than 5 minutes in 3A5. Chin Seng who said he wouldn't attend, went back his words and for whatever reason that was lying behind, he came, to my surprise. Wee Chin was in school, but went to activity and only joined us back around noon. Lawrence kept Derrick company and went to join his scout buddies. Soo Yong went astray while in school, I couldn't locate him anywhere. Adwin came out from nowhere and was there, sitting in the class bantering with Kai Zhe. Zheng Xuen and Say Kit were undetectable. Urr.....I don't care about them anymore.

3A2 was having a huge party which in my opinion is a complete waste of time and money. The bought many foods and have a jamuan. I didn't dare to enter that class. It felt crap. We are not graduating. We just had our last day as a form 3 student. Did they have to be so dramatic and throw a party?

Friends were snapping pictures. I felt jealous. I don't have a handphone. But weirdly though, I don't think I need a handphone. But I felt jealous. Bizarre huh?

Nothing to talk about, we're not graduating. Just a six weeks holiday bordered us from meeting. I'll meet all of you after the holiday, will I?

A Charity Bazaar

A bazaar had been held on in SJK(c) Peng Bin, my primary school. My mother insisted me to go with her to lend a hand to a teacher who was selling vegetables and fruits. I didn't complain. I just followed dutifully.

We woke up 6.45am and took a ride with the teacher to go to school. We started to work immediately. When I went to the storeroom to take out the vegetables, I was flabbergasted. I looked down at the vegetables. This much?? How "much" vegetables are there to be sold? I swore inwardly, if they managed to finish selling them, I'm not a boy. Don't try to think whether I won or they won. Let this question be rhetorical for this moment.

Don't leave...I'm still telling a story.....

At 8.00am, the bazaar started officially. I was no expert. I had no idea how to sell vegetables. I'm not a aunty selling in market. I obediently stood there and watched them working. The hustle and bustle of the bazaar was pictured by the crowd. Then, I spot my friends. I snuck out to look for them. I began to chat with them. And also, I ran into many of my primary school friend. Some of them had grown so much that I couldn't recognise them anymore. I was elated. I began to chat nonstop. It was great to recall the memories we had in primary school, albeit there was not much to be told.

Then, I looked at my watch. 10.45am. I felt I should go back to the stall and lent some hand. But my mother said she didn't need help yet. Most people would buy vegetables right before they left. So they waited. Since I wasn't needed, I left and join the party back.

Magic performance in the school hall was somehow lame. It was probably because I had seen the same performance for an umpteen times. My friend, Chee Yee, bought me a bowl of ABC. I really appreciated it. Thank you. But would you please don't bring me into the hall, where the air-conditioner was on to enjoy the tastiness of ABC? It was freezing...

I then chat with my friends before they left, and then I went back to the stall and continue working. At around 1.55pm, where the bazaar was almost ended, we began to sweat bullets. What should we do to the leftover vegetables?

You know the answer now, I'm still a boy. (^_^)

There were a pile of vegetables lying on the tables. We couldn't do anything. We took them back. But yet there were still a lot of vegetables. They decided to just give them to the canteen's worker to save their trouble from going to the market. Then we left, and the bazaar ended. Shameful to be said that our stall was the last to leave.

During the bazaar, I realised how cunning are the aunties and uncles at the market (I am indirectly being sarcastic to my mother). When they realised the outer layer of the veges were rotten, they peeled it off and continue to sell it. But I knew the inner part might also have rotten. Cunning is the word I describe them.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't possess a handphone, so I can't snap the beautiful pictures of the scene. Sorry.

Ill

My father is sick again, now diagnosed with viral infection. If you had learnt science, you would have known viral infection takes times to heal. This is because there is no treatment for virus. You would also know virus will only reproduce. If doesn't eat, drink, talk or anything else. He is now sick, sometimes he grunts, sometimes he moans. And no, I am not exaggerating. He is weak, extremely weak. Supplicating is what I can do right now. Just wish he would recover.

Everyone thought yesterday was the last school day, but we were wrong. This coming Monday is the last day. Many of my friends decided to skip, they think coming to school on Monday will be a waste of time, and it is not worth the time arsing around in school. They prefer kipping at home. I am, however, decided to go to school because staying at home, to me, is nothing.

After watching the successful Phobia 2, I dig up 4bia (the first film) and finished the show. Gladly, the show is mesmerising. The first part is considered as extremely unique because the director sends creeps without any conversation. The protagonist communicates with the outside world by her handphone. And then when she gave her picture to an unknown man, things get creepy. The second story, Tic for Tat, is a extremely nauseating film. This 30-minute film uses a lot of shaky camera work. But, however, the story is still good. A boy who had been bullied uses dark magic to revenge. The third story is intended to be a hormedy. But to me, it is neither a horror nor a comedy. Just a normal film telling a story. The fourth story, Last Fright, revolves around Pim, a flight attendant. She has to send the body of a princess back to her own country. And worse still, she has to have a solo flight! What happened on the plane is definitely creepy, but if compared to Phobia 2, it is considered lame.

Interesting Story

SOS

Jacky and Vi Vian, the class monitor of 3A5 did not do their job and pushed everything to me. This morning, as I was in school, I was asked by my friend to "wakil" to finish the job that we had not done the day before. Okay, let me made this clear. I was assisting Jacky in his work on Monday. I was involved in that job. But, Jacky was absent today, so did Vi Vian. As I was the only person that had been involved in this "job" and present in school, I was pressured to finish it. And Oh My God! I had to plough through a class of SMM form and keyed all of the words into the computer. Oh my god my eyes were swollen and dried! And I had only managed to finish 22 sheets of paper in 2 hours time.....It takes us painstaking effort and days to finish it. But luckily I meddled in when there were less paperworks to do.

Jacky and Vi Vian, you better don't come to school or I will dice you!!

Well, here is something I wanted to share with you. As I was reading the students' information, I found out a student's mother's name is Tan Char Bor. Wahahaha. I was laughing my head off, so does my friends. "Char Bor" in Hokkien is a girl.

My eyes were swollen. Seriously. Imagined yourself looking at a computer for 5-6 hours nonstop. Okay. Maybe I was exaggerating. Imagined yourself looking at a computer for 5-6 hours, with only a 20 minutes break in the middle. All of us, everyone, who was involved in this "perwakilan" was having two swollen eyes. My eyes felt pain. Therefore, as I reached home I dragged myself into bed to rest, but I dozed off and woke up at 6.00pm sharp! 3 hours of sleeping....

Unbelievable? Yes. I am now doubting my ability to read the clock.

It was just another overcast day and eventually rain began to pour down. I have absolutely no idea what is happening to the climate. It was boiling in the morning but freezing in the evening. The unpredictable weather is getting on our nerves. I'm not the first, I'm sure. It was raining cats and dogs and the fight between these two animals seemed endless. Ashamed to say that I'm not fully accustomed with this climate changes. Sometimes I fall sick, due to the different temperature changes. But I believe I adapt better now.

Grandmother

As I mentioned earlier, I couldn't play badminton today because of whatever that was set to be ongoing in this afternoon. My plan for afternoon had been ruined and therefore I had to rearrange them. "Rearrange" seemed to be a word that kept me busy from anything else. But, alas, I was wrong. I couldn't think out what to do.

My mother had asked me to go to my grandmother's house in Penang for a cleaning. I refused initially. But...I was seriously bored. Therefore, just a few minutes before they departed, I followed on a whim.

My grandmother was a great person. I remember her vividly even though she passed away last year. March 2008 to be exact. She was a healthy and friendly person. She was shopping happily with my mother few days prior to her death. Her death was unfair. She was just a normal lady walking at the side of the road when a motorcycle knocked her down and took her away. Life is just like this, you are living happily then, wham, you die. You can never ever anticipate what would happen in the future. Her death had left a painful void to my mother, not to mention my aunts and uncles. I could still remember how unstable her emotion was. Just a little talk about my grandmother could trigger the time bomb in her head and she would start crying. She hid her sadness, but I could read her mind. It was sad, very sad. What happened to my grandmother should not be happened. It was unfair. But what could we do? We can never change the power of the God. It she was destined to be dead, what else can we do?

It has been a year, almost two. My mother seems more cheerish when she talks about my grandmother. I don't really like to dig up the past. Sometimes she would cry inwardly. She thought she can hide the feeling, but eyes never lie. It's quite obvious she is sad.

After dusting, me and my mother went to Tesco. Just for a short while to kill our time, and then went back home. My mother is now cheerish, no more enveloped in the state of sadness. It's a good news.

Library

School was having graduation ceremony this morning. Therefore, every form 3, form 4 and lower 6 students were not needed in school and had a day off.

Once again, to my chagrin, I woke up 8.15am. I didn't want to get up, therefore, I continued to lie on the bed until I couldn't bear it anymore and eventually got off the bed at 8.45am reluctantly. My time was accurate, I watched the clock ticked for 30 minutes before I eventually gave up trying to sleep.

I sat in front of the computer two hours this morning, watching television drama on tudou.com. My eyes were swollen with tiredness. But I couldn't do anything. I can't play badminton on Sunday because of whatever that is ongoing there and I couldn't leave the house because my parents forbid me to leave if they were not at home. They even wrote a warning letter!

Eventually I came out with the idea of going to the public library in Seberang Perai. I remember vividly how it looked, although I couldn't remember when was the last time I stepped my foot there. My mother, who just came back from work, brought me there without complain. Thank you. I appreciated your kindness. Ok, I didn't know what. Maybe I wasn't good in finding books, maybe I didn't explore the entire building, but what I found was the library was seriously running out of books. Almost all of the books there were old and musty and yellowish. And it was unbelievably lack of books. There were only 3 shelves of english fiction I could find. 3 shelves??

I had trouble finding a good book to borrow. I just took Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and eventually fled from the poor library with my mother. I don't think I would go back there again.

"Killer" by Giddens is actually a page-turner. My interest were actually aroused when I read it.

Finally I finished the series "Crime Buster x2". Yeepie! Not a bad series.

Oh, and I chanced on Joshua Ang's website through a blog. If you're curious about his blog: http://www.nutzhen.com/

Oh, and my friend Chee Yee can't play badminton tomorrow due to family schedule. Wahaha. I feel like I'm gloating. Sorry. Whatever the problem is, we can play another day, right?

Joo Phin had uploaded her blog and she regale us with the stories of her trip to Thailand. Frankly, I envied her for having a trip. My father is not a travel person. He doesn't like to travel. Even if he does, only in Malaysia. It's good to have a chance to see how is other country look like. Thanks for the updates.

Rain

It is raining again, nonstop. For a few days it have been raining in the evenings. Probably just because of raining season. Whatever it is. I don't want to talk about it. It reminds me of geography.

Morning was still boring. It was Wednesday morning, and school was having rehearsal for the graduation day. Many of my friends cut class. Bored, I borrowed The Time Traveller's Wife from Chow Chia Yuin, my ex-classmate (but still a friend). She bought the book on Saturday and she was absorbed into the book more than I do. It is evident by the pages she had read for the past 3 days, more than 200 I think. I finished the book in school, startlingly fast as I finished about 80 pages in only 20 minutes. This broke my record.

I love this book. The ending is good, but I hate when Henry dies. This love should last. It should not be broken. For those who have read the book, if you could not fathom how Henry dies, read this. Henry is actually killed by Clare's brother, who shot him earlier in this book.

My father printed out the bill for my sister's semester. It dared not ask. It must be exceedingly expensive.

I wish the old days when my sister is home. If my sister is home, I would have somebody to fight for computer with. I would have someone to bicker with. I would have someone to play with. I would have someone to confide in. But now she is in Kampar, located in Perak where 6 lives have been snatched in a week time. My mother is worrying sick. She is afraid my sister is one of the victims sooner or later. Luckily, my sister is not an outdoor person. She wouldn't dare go anywhere far without my parents' consent.

I thought of going to QQ Comic Shop. I wanted to go there, until a downpour ruined my plan. I had nothing to do but slumber.

Having games on Viwawa.com. Losing badly. I thought it will be a cinch to battle with the lower levels. Apparently I was wrong. I still need to improve my moves.

Pasar Malam

Monday, pasar malam night. I was so looking forward to go to pasar malam. Initially I thought my wish was doomed when an overcast sky emerged from nowhere and followed by a downpour. Luckily, pasar malam was as usual, still crowded, but I wasn't there to spend money, I just wandered at pasar malam.

This morning was the first day I went to school after staying at home for four days continuously. Today the attendance was good, which was surprising, but yet there were still nothing to do, and Joo Phin was pestering me and a few of us to tell her stories. I was astounded. Completely startled because I had no stories to tell~~

I watched Where Got Ghost yesterday. It was a hormedy. By the way, if you are asking what "hormedy" is, it is actually a portmenteau coined by Jack Neo, Singaporean director. The show was not extraordinarily funny, and the directing was a bit lame at the end of the movie. At the highway to be exact. Anyway, just my opinion~~The hormedy in Phobia is still the best. I couldn't hold back and eventually burst out laughing. I really wish to watch it again!

Phobia

It's Sunday, me and my friends decide to go to Pacific for a movie. We had lunch there, at Pizza Hut. The price is exorbitant. Then, we try to select a particular movie to watch. Eventually we decide to watch Phobia 2, a Thai horror film which is currently the highest-grossing movie in Thailand. It is a sneak preview, therefore the ticket price is higher than normal. We enjoy going to cinema for movies because of the sounds system and pulsating musics. But since this is a horror movie, we're not expecting sounds system nor pulsating musics but we are seeking for the horror effect. Phobia is rated 18PL, which means children below 18 are forbidden to watch. But luckily they didn't card us.

Phobia 2 is branched into five parts. The first one is a bit....cruel. Second and Third are spine-chilling. The fourth is kind of exciting, kind of like hide and seek, but quite enjoyable. The fifth is, actually, not a part of phobia because it is actually a comedy. If you're asking me which is my favourite, I will say the fifth, it is the only chapter in the film that caused tension among the people. It is also the only part that successfully make people laugh their heads off.

The first four are frightening but in a boring way. I can't fathom the stories, nor can I decipher the ending of each stories. The third is probably the most horrifying. It involved zombies, blood-sucking zombies. If you're afraid of seeing blood, avoid this part, it is gory. And as I mentioned, the first four are mind-bending, so do remember to watch the show carefully to catch what are they whining about. We finished the film after the fifth part. Actually, thanks to the producer for making such a brilliant ending or all of us will be leaving the cinema fearfully and uncomprehendingly, and deadening our leg after sitting for two hours. Haiz, I couldn't hear anybody yelling in the cinema.....
