Bad Year!

2009 is really a bad year. I got another bad news from my primary friend. She MSN me when I was on my night shift. She started with "2009 is really a bad year". From this sentence, I already knew she has a bad news to tell me. My guess is right, she told me, one of our primary school mate, met with an accident in Africa, brain is damage and in a critical situation.

It is a really sad news. According to my friend, she went to Africa for charity. Sigh... This is life. Anything can happen. I really hope there will be miracle for her. Thee Kong ar, Thee Kong..... Please popi her. She is still young and doing good deeds, should have a good life, not suppose to take her away.

2012

Watched this movie in Singapore with my friend. He treated me.


2012 is a nice movie, to me. I felt so sad when I saw all the people died helplessly. I am wondering, will it really happen to all of us on 2012, 2 years from now? I have no idea. If we never taking care of our environmental issue, I think sooner or later, this will happen.

2012 is still showing in the cinema. For those who have not watched, quickly go to the cinema near you and watch.

I Love Malaysia Campaign Result

Do you still remember I blog about the I Love Malaysia Campaign contest? It is a contest by Exabytes, conjunction with the Malaysia National Day. The grand prize for this contest is the iPhone 3GS and Western Digital My Passport Essential 320GB as consolation prize. After one and a half months, when I almost forgot about this contest, the result is out.

Again, my friend is the one who told me the result is out. She referred me to this contest. If I win a prize, she will win too. And guess what? I WON!!!!! Because of this, she also won. She got the email from Exabytes, and immediately, MSN me to check on my email. So I quickly go to check my gmail, no new email wor.... Then I go to check my Yahoo email.


HAPPY! Thanks Mary for referring me for this contest. If not, I will not know about it and don't say about winning.

This week is quite a bad week for me. My friend's dad passed away and my classmate left us due to heart attack. Luckily, this good news brings joy to me. I am so happy now. It has been few months since I won any prize. The previous one was the Eason's Moving On Stage 26 Concert ticket.

I also want to thank Exabytes for giving me this early Birthday present. Thank you so much! Muacksssssss!

Nothing Ever Happened

Nice English song from Eason. The previous Mandarin album also has one English song named Aren't You Glad. However, I still prefer this one. I copied the lyrics here. Nice song, nice lyrics, nice vocal.


Hey, you once called me your baby
say it for the last time
with all your strength and meaning it this time
Hey, you once promised me the world,
but I never asked for it, but I never asked for it

Hey, you once praised me beautiful,
why I'd get get weaker,
why would I get weaker?

Oh please, please don't, I am so scared,
scared you're too perfect for me
or am I too naive for you

Either way it's too late,
too late for regrets, I'm hurt
leave me out of love,
leave love out, leave me out

Hey, let's just pretend,
nothing ever happened,
nothing ever happened

Hey, let's just pretend,
nothing ever happened,
nothing ever happened

Happy Mid Autumn Festival

I thought today I can take the round Moon photo. It seems like I need to wait for another time since it was raining until now. Too bad. Never mind, I can wait for next month. But I heard that August 15th (in Lunar calendar) will have the roundest Moon ever.

Finally, I went to the the camera shop just now to check out the camera+laptop bag. It's not cheap though. I have 2 choices now: Lowepro Fastpack 250 or Kata DR-467i (previously is DR-467). Lowepro is priced at RM350 while Kata costs RM330, just a RM20 difference. There was a customer in the shop told me that Kata is more comfortable while carry it on the back. I have read a lot of reviews online about these 2 too. Most of them said Kata is more comfortable. I tried on Lowepro Fastpack 250 as well. To me, it's not that bad either. But the laptop compartment is from the side, not the normal top. Hmmmm, now my scale is more towards Kata. I can use it as my laptop bag if I am not bringing my camera and laptop together. Anyway, I will decide and buy it by end of this month or beginning of next month.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival to all of you out there!

幸福的味道

每一次读秀茵的小说，都觉得很舒服。这次，读完的是《幸福的味道》。它是有关烹饪的小说。能写出烹饪的技巧，我想，秀茵的厨艺应该还不错的。呵呵。


从第一本《纯纯的守护神》、《记忆天使》、《月亮城》、《小天堂》、《太阳城》，到今天的《幸福的味道》，每一本都买了。秀茵的书，老少咸宜，读起来没有压力，不到一会儿，就可以把它读完。不像其他的小说，我看了停，又继续，又停。停停看看已经很多次可是还是没把它读完。

读完《幸福的小说》已经有超过一星期了吧。现在，读的是九把刀的《少林寺第八铜人》，进展还不错，已经过半了。九把刀的书，很多都不错的。最喜欢的就是他的杀手系列。可是有些像《绿色的马》里面的短篇小说，实在太深奥了，我看了一半就无法继续下去，可能要等过些时候再拿来继续吧。

说回《幸福的味道》，书的后面几页，还有食谱呢。如果跟着来煮的话，应该没问题的吧。哈哈哈。想知道更多关于《幸福的味道》的故事情节，你可以到大众书局或上网订购。上网订购可以拿到秀茵的签名哦！

Bad Luck

It has been 2 months since I went to work in Kulim. Since then, my life is full of bad luck. Got it again today. I have no idea why. One of my friend said, those problems that can be solved by money is not a problem anymore. Ya, I agree that. But the thing is, my money earning speed is not that fast if compare to those unnecessary spending. All needs money! Money here, money there. I want to faint soon. How?? Who can help me?

Final Destination 4

For 3rd week in a row, I went to watch movie in the cinema on weekends. The best part is, all 3 movies are horror and thriller movie: Murderer, The Orphan and Final Destination 4.


The storyline for Final Destination 4 is the same as the previous 3. One of the guy sees the vision on the crash, losing all their lives in the incident. Later, the accident is really happen and they manage to escape from the death. However, they don't know that death is actually coming after them one by one.

Final Destination 4 is really horror on some of the part. I think it is better than Final Destination 3. However, the first one is still the best.

TruTV

I am a fan of horror and gruesome flicks. It doesn't matter how scary or gruesome it may be, it is still a movie, to me. However, reality TV is totally different. It is filled with real suspense and reaction. Watching such shows, keep me on the edge of my seat most of the time.

There is a particular truTV video that shows real reactions on people going on the Bungee Jump. I don't think I will ever be brave enough to try one. I probably will be dizzy and faint before executing the jump! I personally know some friends who dare to go on bungee jumping. One did one on a trip to New Zealand. How frightful for me but bold of her. If you ever decide to try going on one, perhaps a good idea would be to watch videos from truTV to have an idea how it is like. After all, the reactions are real.


So many things can happen while on the Bungee Jump. Cross your fingers, pray all you can. Or you can also avoid all this anxiety and stress level. Do watch all the videos from truTV. Try the Most Daring category. It is just exciting and will keep you up all night watching them!

The Orphan

* Don't read if you want to watch The Orphan in the cinema. Spoiler ahead.

Before watching The Orphan, I am thinking of watching another movie, District 9. After much consideration and asking the opinion from Nic, I went for The Orphan. I made a good choice for watching this movie. It is exciting and horror!


The story is very normal. A married couple lost their 3rd child while the lady is pregnant. After some time, the lady managed to get over the sad news and decided to adopt a new child. Of course, Esther is the one they adopted.

After Esther joined the family, many things start to happen. She is an evil. She started to make everyone thinks that the lady is the one who not taking good care of her. The lady investigated on her past and finally knew the truth. What is the truth? Who is Esther? You will get the answer if you catch this movie in the cinema near you.

I enjoyed the movie very much, however, the couple who sit beside me spoil my mood. They keep on talking and that girl, keep screaming here and there, especially towards the end. Oh man! I hate people who talking non stop during a movie. Irritating.

The Orphan and Murderer have a common point. It is related to the children. In Murderer, Aaron Kwok has a small little boy. Same goes to The Orphan, Esther is the little girl in the family. Both are evil. Opps... I have said something that I am not suppose to say. Haha, I told you earlier, don't read if you want to watch this movie in the cinema. It is your problem now for not listening to me. LOL.

Next, what movie will I watch? I think it will be Final Destination 4. Another horror movie. YEAH!
