movies I watched

These past few days was spend lazing at home. It was kinda bored and I'm proud of myself not become shiteously emo in this perios of time lazing at home.

I'm proud to say I did all my ironing and organized my closet all in the course of watching Hitman and Kungfu Panda at the same time.

Oh yeah, I violated "Only DVDRIP policy" while downloading movies and downloaded a TS version of Kungfu Panda. TS version means it's a cam version recorded in the cinema but the sound are reedited so you don't get the sound where people are talking. I wanted to watch Kungfu Panda so badly but no teman so thus I have to violate my DVD RIP policy.


It was a fun movie but at the end of the movie you will kinda forget what happen. It's not a bad movie but definitely could be done better. The movie I think should be longer, especially the training part and other emphasis on other characters such as The Tigress, Mantis,Monkey, Snake and Crane. Panda aka Po voiced by Jack Black is really amusing and hillarious but Tigress voice by Angelina Jolie is just so so. Maybe the character Tigress is too serious so it does not matter who voiced it, cause it's just plain boring and monotonous.

On positive note, the action scenes is really very good especially the chopstick scene is fantastic. The animal's kungfu skills uses their natural skill and thus making the kungfu scenes really exciting.

I have nothing more to add cause eventhough I watched it yesterday, there was nothing so memorable except a quote by Wu Gui aka Tortoise :

Yesterday is the past,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

Today is a gift,

That's why they called today the PRESENT






Another movie I watched was Hitman. As you may know it's based on the PC game Hitman. I played the game before and I tell you the adaption to the movie kinda sucky.
#1 OK, Timothy Oliphant in Diehard is kinda hot and he's not so hot in Hitman so minus points there. ( I know its not a determining factor)

#2 He's not conditioned and fit enough as the video game where Hitman 47 is more built and tough
#3 The script pretty much sucks..Storyline is so cliche that you can guess how its gonna end at from the beginning

In point the only thing worth watching is the action scenes, and I'm not talking bout guns, scenes where they fight with swords, I think is a katana and fist fights. those gun scenes are just so so. i mean how much action you can get wear you shoot people right? Maybe if they do Hitman 2 they will change the actor..maybe it'll work like Incredible Hulk was way better than The Hulk right?










weeekender

I had a busy weekend, on Saturday supposedly got dinner appointment but was abruptly cancelled because my sister wanted to suprise my parents with a cake for Father'
s days day. Knowing my mom would be a lil' jealous, she put a msg saying"Everyday is Father's and Mother's Day, Love you". They were pleasantly suprised and the cake was delicious( Espresso Cheesecale). Later that night we went yum cha with with my brother till 2 something, then went to pick up my sister's bf and went yum cha at mamak till 4 something. I slept a couple of hours cause went out wif a friend to watch The Hulk at IOI mall.Then the friend and I went to Summit cause I want to buy PS 2 games and PC games, but end up only buying one PS2 game cause the PC games are all very limited. Came back to my sis place(Puchong) at 4 pm, then went down to Pandan Jaya (my place) to have dinner. Lepak at the house for few hours, then followed my sister and the bf to watch Indiana Jones. Yes, i know I watched already but they ajak me to watch again. At first I was sort of reluctant because I don't want to sit an watch again but I went anyway. It wasn't that bad the second time maybe because I already know the absurdity of the story line so I just sit and ejoy the humour and action scenes. After the movie, we all went to Kampung Baru to eat in the infamous Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa. It was a nice plate of nasi lemak, where the sambal is spicy and the ikan bilis is crunchy. The ayam goreng is even more delicious. Went to back to Puchong around 3 am, then woke up at 7 am to go make my passport at Subang. Back to Puching at afternoon and I slept till 7 pm...lepak for while and went dinner at 9 pm. Fearing for my safety to drive back to Pandan at midnight, my sister drove me home in my car and her bf came pick her up alter. Lately, I've been having discomfort while driving at night. I think because of astimagtism. the lights seems to glow more birghtly and hurt my eye. If that's the case I might end up having two glasses. One for astimagtism while driving at night, to wear with my lenses and one the normal glasses for rabun and astimagtism. Sigh, money money money. I'm rally feeling the RM 2.70 petrol and I have pump twice as much now..
On happier news, my sis gave me a bottle of perfume COCO Mademoiselle by CHANEL. She got extra as some generous passengers buy for her for good service on board. The choice is between F for FAscinating by Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel. It;s a tough chocie but my sis says take the Coco cuz it's more expensive about RM 300++ compare to Ferragamo costing RM 200++. So I end up with the Chanel which carries a more elegant note compare to a flowery note by Ferragamo. So that's my busy weekend..what bout urs?

Hulk

The Hulk.A Marvel. It's GREEN. It has serious anger management issues. Not your typical superhero. the last Hulk movie was a disaster and the CGI graphics is bad. One might expect the same for the Hulk, hell, what would you expect from a movie of a green monster with super expandable pants. Well, remove those pre-connotions or phobias of a bad movie and go watch Incredible Hulk.
This movie is not as cool as Iron Man, or Spiderman but for a green monster I think this movie exceeds its expectations. Edward Norton is a great actor and portrayed Bruce Banner more accurately not like the previous movie.
The villain looks like the Resident Evil Bio Nemesis older brother. The fight scenes is kind of creative and Hulk only uses his smash once. The fighting scenes also reminds me of God of War a PS2 game. In that game, the hero uses his chains to subdue the opponent. I don't know how to explain it, but for those who played God of War 2 will be able to relate to it.
One thing i like about the movie is that there are tiny hints about Iron Man in the beginning of the movie and a suprising twist.
As usual, I'm not good in words in reviewing a movie. I can talk about it real life rally well, but in writing, it won't do the movie justice. So just go watch... It's worth it ..

Nama saya Rina

Tomorrow is my last day working at Sbux, not last as in I'll never work againbut I don't know when I'm available to work there in coming months. Today was non stop chatting with partners and I don't feel that tired but my leg was really aching when I came home.
There isn't much to be blogged about my working day. One issue though? I do look like a chinese right?
Why people always talk to me in Malay and when I responded in chinese they give the SHOCKED look.
No, I don't have any issues with looking like Malay, at least I can speak like one so I can cover line when I can't really talk in cantonese. Especially in sticky situations where some customers who converse in Mandarin, I'll just say I'm mixed with Malay blood and I don't know chinese. there was once where I did try my best to speak mandarin but the customers corrected me rudely and say that Chinese should be able to speak in Chinese. So i cover line say i mixed la..I damn pissed off..i ws just trying to help and in turn kena tiau balik.
So from then on, I am not gonna be so baik hati and help intepret. if you don't what latte or caramel macchiato means in chinese then just too bad la.
That pretty much what i'm blogging today. besides apparently being a Malay, i'm also a eurasian,sarawakian,sabahan n some say chindian..i kid you not. Sometimes if I'm in the mood I'll just go with the flow and say I'm Malay named Rina and my mum is Chinese while my father is Malay. there you go, maybe if you want to bercakap BM dengan I, boleh panggil I, Rina..

Black apron

I'm working opening these few days. There is this new supervisor name M. M jsut got promoted, a nice guy, so we chatted sicne it's jsut both of us in the mornings. I share my Sbux experience and he thoght I was 25..Do i look that old?
Then the middle partner A came in. I asked her, she says I dun look that old but the way I talk makes me seem more older, mature. And it does not help that I'm now wearing the Black apron. Black apron is an apron especially for coffee masters. Its not compulsory for me to wear the black apron but my green aprons are all with my ex. I've yet to call him to get it back.It makes me a bit scared. Where has the happy , crazy Ai Chen been? Has the breakup made me more mature?
today was a better day, I cahtted with A. She too just broke up and adapting to single life. Sigh..this is the season of breakups. I feel better then yesterday. i talked to a friend D.
D says I have this mental block. Maybe i have a mental block. For now I jstu my mind would stop scrutinizing every single actions I do and I hope my heart will jsut heal. It will get better in time..time..till when I have to be like that? Sekejap I ok,sekejap I emo. the Lord is playing Chipsmore game with me.

whining again

I refuse to be sad, be emo. Maybe I do not have someone to call, someone to talk to that makes me misses the complacency of being in a relationship.
who doesn't like a good cuddle, a good company for dinner, someone to talk to about random stuff. I'm still adapting. I never thought it would take this long. I need a good book to take my mind off things. I just finish the book Princess Orchid and it kept my mind off things. I want another good book. i want to watch a movie. I want to dine at a fine restaurant. I want a night with good company whre we can talk till there's not tomorrow. Its not a date I want. I just want to feel good once a while

morning?

2 more miniutes till 6.45 am..have to go mandi cuz I'm working opening..shisshh..shud have just I can work at 10 am. I hate mornings!!!

ya ke?

I went to a Malay wedding specifically the Akad Nikah ceremony. My sister friend, Mike aka Mikhail after conversion is marrying Mimi. Mike is pretty close with my sister and refer to my sis as his "kakak". I knew him too back when I was very little. the ceremony took place at Taman Cempaka,which is very nearby to the Ex's place. Geram aku when I know the place is in Cempaka. I just don't want to be anywhere near that vicinity cause i don't want to bump into him but I have to face my fear.
The ceremony was simple, all the groom has to do is lafaz the exact words by the ustaz saying that he wil nikah with Mimi. The next day was suppose to be the fun part, the bersanding ceremony, but my sis could not make it so i did not go as well.
I started working at Starbucks this week, so all u guys who is free can drop by, I'm based at Low Yat plaza.Boy, is there lots of gossip and rantings when I came back. Everytime I come back to work, there is huge rantings by partners. They will rant their dissastifaction to me as I'm pretty neutral and i seldom work. Of cause it's juicy gossips, but I dunno why today I'm jsut not int the mood for gossips. Eh, there must something wrong with me. Well I think so.I'm preoccupied with some matters of the heart.
No, its not about the ex. Its someone else. I dunno I just think too much. Why can't it be simple? Or do I make it complicated...My friend always tell me not to think about it. but still, I keep on thinking about what if's and maybes..something that I shouldn't be thining cause it's nothing. Sigh. i dun want to be emo but I think I am..




Its about time

I've ben going out these few days. On Thursday , I went to watch a play at the Actor's Studio at Bangsar with Wai Fon. The play is titles "How I learned how to drive". Its a play on Lil'Bit and her sort of dysfunctional family and she develop an unhealthy incestuous relationship with her uncle , Peck. Uncle Peck taught her how to drive and driving is the only outlet she have to escape from her family.
This was my first play and i like it. I will try to attend more plays next time cause I think it is very interesting. Furthermore the tix are very reasonable for a student.



Going to that play is sort of a liberating experience because while I was with my ex, I won't get to go a play or even Bangsar. For some weird reason the ex does not like Bangsar and plays. Maybe he could not understand. He thinks Bangsar is the place for rich people who is very arrogant. He is inferior cause his English is not that good and he couls not relate to urban people that well. Well that's my opinion.

Yesterday I had a dream, i dreamt I was a lawyer and the man, slighlty elder round 40s was complaining that he want to file a restraining order from the gf who was about 20-ish. So the man was complaining that she became to needy and that he was married and could not give the girl what she wants. Then the girl was saying all she need is love. then suprising coming from my own mouth that both of them have different objective is relationship and it will never work out. I was trying to tell them to both let go because the timing is not right and both have different perceptions of a relationship.
Then I woke up..I think I finally got it. The message is for me. The ex and I could never have work out. I'm taking a different path in life. I'm going to be lawyer, not going to be married so early and be successful.When I was with him, marriage was inevitable, maybe in these two years. He knows I'm not ready, I know I'm not ready. i'm not ready to play house, I just want to live life to the maximum while I still can. The only thing I regret is that the break up was messy. He should be man enough to do things right, not to cheat on me like that. I regret that I lost my sense of self these 4 years. It's all good now. I know now..I finally get it...finally..this does not mean I'm not hurt. It still does..only less..I'm not ready for love yet definitely.

Hawt!!

Something bout Britsh guy with scarves just turns me on..

Random

I found this at Post Secret which I think will be applicable since the price hike.
Sometimes the quote "What are friends for" has its limits when it comes to petrol..wtf

My favourite movie

I just watched a movie I downloaded called "12 Angry Men" a 1957 production. The movie is an intense movie about 12 jurors who is delibrating on the guilt of an 18 year old boy from the slums who supposedly killed his father. This movie takes palce in the jury room and they delibrated in real time for an hour and a half. I first watched the remake of the movie which was in 1997 and I was hooked cause the movie is so good.
Cause CLR have to research on jury so I flashbacked the movie and downloaded the 1957production.
However in my opinion this movie is not for all cause it's an intense purely conversational typed of movie. I really like the movie cause it shows us a part of human nature, the prejudice and the indifference the jurors have on a case, which in my opinion can sometimes defeat the trial by peers system. I'm not good at words to describe the brilliance of the movie, the actors were great and the script was excellent as well.

i only manage to have half my laundry done. I din know I got so much clothes but this is not going to stop me from shopping k?
I just downloaded 2008 MTV Movie awards, Hitman and The Other Boleyn Girl and a couple of games. The magic of torrents made my life more meaningful~



liberated

I saw him today. He was grocery shopping alone, I think. He was talking on the phone, so I passed by and just smiled. Such a fake smile he gave me, cuz he knew I was there, cuz my bro bumped into him earlier. Anyways I'm still ok cuz he was alone, I dunno how wud I feel if he was with his gf. Probably be really emo bout it.
Then after that I rushed to Pandan Indah to meet Secret Friend(SF). SF was bummed bout his ex gf. So we chatted for two hours. It made me feel less emo bout him.
Reached home, I took out all the pics of him from photo albums cuz I din have the heart to look at it months before. then there were some clothes left, I threw them out also. When I looked at the pics we took, I feel that he is not the same person anymore, as though it was a distant memory and that I was living in another world atthat time. It's a mixture of feelings, I don't know how to describe it but most important I don't feel like crying.
I'm gonna do my laundry and reorganise my closet and my bags tomorrow. So i'll be able to know what to look for when I go for a huge shopping spree!!
Oh yeah, my bro's law firm got vacancy ask me to contact them.I'll call them tomorrow and hopefully I get the job.
So that's pretty much my day. Hope for a better day tomorrow~
