The Last Concert

Hey peeps,

Amidst the rush of finishing my dissertation, I managed to steal some time and watch Lee Seung Chul on Family Outing. He is “The Emperor of Ballads” in Korea and he sung a couple of his song on the show. I shed some tears while listening to a song called “The Last Concert” although I didn’t even understand a single word he was singing. I immediately searched for it on the net and it turned out that the song was written from the personal experience of the composer, Kim Taewon (also a singer). Basically, it is about how he was singing a confession song to a girl he liked at a concert and he did not realised that there was actually another girl who had been watching and liking him so dearly. The girl cried her heart out after watching the scene from the backstage and she ran outside.


Although some of you readers are not Korean music lovers, I request all of you to spare some time listening to this beautiful ballad and be captured in the love story atmosphere. I also include the translation of this song below..... Enjoy~ (and prepare some tissues~)

The Last Concert

Now, from the backstage,
The girl is looking over me with tears shedding in her heart.

From the backstage,
The girl sits in a little chair with her folded arms,
Gazing and listening to my song of confession, oh~

The girl becomes saddened and heartbroken
because she'd cherished me so

As my song of confession deepens,
The girl could not hold her tears and ran outside

The song has ended,
It will never be sung again, yeah~
This sorrowful song.......................

Heartbeat

Anyeong!!~~~~~^^

A couple of good things happened after I woke up which made me kicking off my day in a superbly happy mood..


Firstly,
One of my closest friends in school, Nadiah, added me on Facebook and I’m still in bliss right now because after 2 years, I finally get to keep in touch with her! The last time we met was before I flew to England and once I changed my number here, we lost contact… Many thankies to the power of Facebook~ Hee~


Secondly,
The MV for 2PM’s ‘Heartbeat’ is out!~~~ And it was EPIC! Minus the fact that Nickhun got Wooyoung’s style in ‘Dirty Eyed Girls’, other than that, it simply defines awesomeness!~ (Though I still can’t understand why must Nickhun and Junho spot the coconut tree hairstyle…and I refuse to like my Taec’s hair as well~)


I’ve been loving the song since I watch the teaser and this MV just added to it. As mentioned by fans across the world, if we turn the song around, we could see that this song is dedicated to Jaebeom who left the group a few months ago (and there’s a rumour saying that he might come back).


I love the whole dark setting of this MV and I could say that JYP Entertaiment invests a lot on these boys. My most favourite point of this song would be the powerful lyrics and how the sick choreography speaks for the song. The dance moves vividly conveyed how crazy a person could be, waiting and longing for someone important to come back. The ending of this MV is heartbreaking as you can see their souls leaving their bodies. Beside SHINee’s ‘Ring Ding Dong’ MV, this would be another ‘MV of The Year’ for me! Check it out~

Michael Jackson: The Soundtrack of My Childhood~

A quick update of an amazing thing that happened earlier today!


Went to The Works in city centre today and while browsing through the stuffs there, guess what I found??!!!!

Unseen Archives: Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!

I grabbed it without hesitation and started on the first page once I got on the bus. I bought it at around 3.45pm and at 7.52pm, I’m done cover to cover! ROTFL!~ A great book indeed! It covers the story of Michael Jackson since he started in Jackson 5 with his brothers till his memorial services plus a lot of accompanying pictures. Definitely a great collector’s item! For a big MJ fan like me, I’m sure that this book is going to be on my ‘Precious Items List’….


Chapter 2: Destiny Fulfilled
My favourite chapter which talks about his succes in the 80s; includes the story of his hit songs,, 'Thriller' and 'Beat It', plus the birth of Michael Jackson's moonwalk~

P/S: Gonna write more in my next post! As of now, I gotta run to Fizah’s room to steal a few bites of her lamb and chicken mixed doner!

Dissertation Progress + New Specs~

Another post for the day!

Dissertation
I’m going to use my resting time from dissertation to do all the things that I want to do because I know that starting from next week I’m gonna be as busy as bee! So here’s a short recap of my dissertation progress:

26/10/09 – 1/11/09
I stayed up almost every night trying to finish my dissertation. Caught a cold and my voice turned hoarse for a few days. My utmost academic week! LOL!~


2/11/09
Submitted the whole chapters of my dissertation to Steve (my tutor) and had a one-on-one tutorial with him. God knows how nerve-wrecking it was to have him checking my draft right before my two eyes. Luckily he loved it. There are just some minor editing that I have to do. Turned out that my number words have reached 12,047 when the maximum are only 10,000 but we’ve sorted it all out. Yay!!! Steve wants to see my complete last draft on 17/11/09 and he told me to rest a bit before resuming on my dissertation.


3/11/09 – N.O.W
I’m taking Steve’s advice and is planning to rest until next week but I have the feeling that I’m still going to continue doing my dissertation earlier, maybe tomorrow~ LOL!~ Have been going out a lot and is trying to wake up a bit later every morning but it seems that my biological clock tells me to wake up at 8 everyday.. LOL~


Saying ‘Goodbye’ to my Precious Item
If you have been following my blog, you’ll remember that something bad happened to one of my precious belongings. Wanna know what it was?


On 17/10/09, my Levi’s spectacles broke into two! Nothing serious caused it to happen. It just fell on a carpeted floor and it broke! It’s time I guess. Ajal dah sampai bak kata orang Melayu. I’ve been wearing it since before I came to England and it has been a couple of years since. It was heartbreaking for me because my spectacle is like my life. My eyesight is terrible that I need to wear it all the time except for when I’m in the shower or sleeping. It was my most favourite one among all the specs that I’ve worn since I was 9 because it fits perfectly fine and it’s Levi’s for goodness sake! It costs RM1400 (although my Abah paid for it..lol~) and now it’s broken!!! I know it sounds ridiculous but I was so emotional over it!


I had to make 3 appointments for checkups and making a new spectacle. I’ve only managed to get a new on 3/11/09 and wonder how I survived almost 3 weeks with a broken specs? Super glue!!! This might be surprising to some of my classmates who didn’t notice, but I’ve been wearing my broken specs which was attached together by the power super glue!! LOL!~ Can’t believe it? Here goes!


So I got my new specs and I decided to get a pair of contact lenses as well since it would helpful if my specs are ever going to break again! LOL!~ My first opinion of wearing contact lenses… my face feels naked! I’ve been wearing specs for 13 years and it has already been like an accessory to my face. So my face without it looks weird. I can’t even recognize myself at first! ROTFL!~ I’ve made a decision since then: Wearing contact lenses means more make-ups! Off to M.A.C.!!!!! Hehehe~ (Love it when there’s an excuse for me to go shopping!)

Looking at the world through different eyes~ lol~


My new specs~


Sporting my new specs~


Those were the days~



Goodbye darling~ T_T


P/S: I'm talking to my sis right now, and I just found out that she has been wearing specs since February! Tak bagi tau pon... Bertuah betol!

Chu~<3 [with Heaven's Postman teaser]

Hi peeps!!~~~ I’m back after 1 hella week of dissertation and I have tonnes of stories to tell you guys…but first, let’s start with a Kpop news.. Hee~ Gotta live with that… Anyhoos~~~ f(x) just came out with their MV for the song ‘Chu~<3’ 5 hours ago, and I’m proud to say that I’m one of the first 250 people to watch it on SM Entertainment channel on Youtube!! Hee~


One word to describe it would be… CUTE! LOL~ I was not hooked on the song when it first released but the adorable MV definitely helped a lot. The song is growing on me now… and the most important part is~~~~~ AMBER SINGS!!!! And she’s got great voice! Another thing to look up for would be~~~~ AMBER’S RAP! LOL~ I know, I know… I admit that I’m Amber biased but I just can’t help it because I think she’s hot for a 17 year-old! Haha~ There’s me going pedo for a 17 year-old girl~ ROTFL…. (Reality check: I'm straight!!)

Another treat for you Kpop lovers!~ The trailer for ‘Heaven’s Postman’ is up and I know that this clip is going to excite you! For those of you who’s been living under the rocks and don’t have any idea of why I’m promoting this drama, the reason for it to be a must-watch is because the main actor is Jaejoong of DBSK!!! Warrrgghhh~~

Let Me Hear You Voice~~

Big Bang’s MV for their latest Japanese single, “Let Me Hear Your Voice” was released a few hours ago and it was my current ear candy!~ I was not a fan of their Japanese songs before as they were all too far from their original Korean music style. I understand that they were trying to lure Japanese fans by following their current music trends but there were too many usage of machines in the songs that they almost sound like a group of robots singing!~ No offence! Big Bang is still one of my most favourite Korean bands and I followed them religiously from their debut in 2007. So to those of you who just followed Big Bang and hate my criticism, “WHATEVER!” I’m your sunbae in liking Big Bang! “Sunbae-yah!” LOL!~ I did it all for my love to these boys! Big Bang, SARANGHAE!!!


So back to the original topic, lol~~ I’m glad that this new single has no usage of autotunes and it finally show their real great singing voices! The song is so soothing and calming and if your boyfriends are ever going to sing this song, I’m sure you are going to melt to your feet! LOL!~ The settings of the MV suits perfectly with the mood of the song and my hearts was pounding so hard watching Taeyang and TOP, my ‘first loves’ in Big Bang which for some reasons diverted to only Taeyang nowadays. But yeah, in this MV you’ll see a more mature image of these guys and if you’re not fan of theirs, you’ll at least fall in love with the song after hearing it! Hehehe… So, here’s a treat for you guys, Big Bang with their latest MV, “Let Me Hear Your Voice”! Indulge~

A Girl's First Love is Her Daddy~

Heyya peeps!~


I went to the city centre with my babes today to buy some toiletries and food and Meng and I went inside Clinton Card to find ‘Good Luck’ cards for our sisters who are sitting for SPM next month. While browsing through the stuffs there, my eyes were caught on a mug sold there. It was a limited edition designer mug by Amanda James: London. Being quite a shopaholic, I DID NOT get attracted to the mug because it’s a limited edition but I was touched by what is written on the mug:




‘A GIRL’S FIRST LOVE IS HER DADDY’

I couldn’t agree more with this statement. As a girl myself, I’m sure that most of you girls out there will be touched by this statement as well. I thought it was cute and meaningful and so I immediately grabbed one of those and bought it. It made me think of my Abah whom I have not met for almost 2 years now. I’ll finally meet him again when I go back to Malaysia for good end of this year^^. In the mean time, I shall cherish the feeling of missing my beloved daddy every single day for I know that I will miss this moments when I finally got to meet him every day when I got back.


And for you girls out there who suddenly miss their daddies after reading this post, I present you a song from Beyonce, “Daddy”~~~~

Blender!~

Howdy peeps!!! I’m back again!!!


I know I’ve been quite consistent in updating my blog these past few days despite my dissertation’s dateline. Hehehe~ If you notice, all the credits go to Taeyang, SHINee, SNSD and f(x) for coming out with new great songs that I could not resist sharing them with you peeps! LOL!~ (What an excuse!) Honestly, I’ve been abandoning my dissertation since SHINee came out with their latest MV! Hikhik~ You can’t really blame me though…because you just can’t work too hard right? Especially when you have to submit three chapters of your dissertation this coming Monday~ I repeat, THIS MONDAY!! ROTFL!~


Okay, okay.. I know I’m supposed to be serious right now but I just feel like sharing what happened to me today. I kicked off my day with a super high spirit to bathe, make breakfast, do the laundry and finishing my dissertation. But just when I started to do so, something unexpected occurred. I’m not in the mood to talk about it right now though. Maybe in some other posts…but let’s just say that something really bad happened to one of my most treasured and precious items. Hurgh~


So, because of the incident, I had to go to the city centre (say adios to my plan of finishing the dissertation~). I was accompanied by Syaz and Fizah plus three of our juniors, Hyder, Jaryn and Tian Wei (dunno if I got that right.. soweeee~ Hee^^). We went to settle our things first and after that, we went to Nawroz for lunch! Finally!! I was craving over their lamb briyani for ages! Hehe~
Lamb Briyani + Aubergine Soup~ Yummy~

Enjoying my food!~

Me, Tian Wei & Hyder yg poyos!


After lunch, we went to Shoe Zone to browse some boots for Jaryn but it ended with her not finding any that she likes, but me eyeing for 3 pairs of shoes there! Haha~ I sooooooo will go there again when my allowance is in, Hee^^ We went on to New Touch after that where Fizah set her eyes on a stunning jacket!


The highlight of the day would be stopping at Argos! Hehehe~ The reason? We need to get a new blender for the house as the old one has broken down…and the most excited person to welcome the new blender to our kitchen utensils family is non other than…yours truly! Hehehe~ I have to admit that I love cooking and the blender is such a big help to me especially when cooking for many people. With the new blender, I’m already imagining cooking loads of food for everyone! Hihihi~


The new blender... Stainless Steel Glass Blender from Cookworks Signature!!!


The new blender & the old blender~


Me and my new sweetheart! Gonna cook loads food after this! Hee^^


Ka-E: "I'm sorry, I have to let you go~"


I just realised that people will think I'm crazy for being so emotional over a blender! Haha!


Still can't let go of the old one~


Finally, I decided to keep both! LOL!~


Credits to Syaz for snapping tonnes of weird pictures of me and the blenders!! Haha~

That’s all for now! Gotta do my dissertation now… Another sleepless night, coming right up!

Ring Ding Dong Full MV!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!


Don’t bother asking! Just want to say that I’m in my absolute excited pedo noona mode at the moment! The reason? SHINee!!!


I just finished cooking and still with my food in front of the laptop when Nadhia came running and screaming to my room. Turned out that SHINee’s full MV of “Ring Ding Dong” had just been released by SM Entertainment on their Youtube Channel!!!!! Warrrgghhhh!!! The long-awaited MV of my super-treasured boys!! And I’m glad to announce that Nadhia and I are among the first 300++ people to watch it!!!


The MV is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Oh gosh, there are just so many things to say about the MV right now that even my hands are trembling and keep making typos!~ ROTFL! Better make it short then.. hihi~^^


Here goes~ (Bye bye hot dinner.. I’ll eat you later~ hehe).. The MV is not disappointing at all! I LOVE it!!!! Love the whole dark angels concept (Nadhia and I interpreted the concept as angels with alter egos) and the smexyness of the already-grown-up boys are to die for! The effects of the MV is amazing and watching my Minho in whites with black wings melts me! The best part of the MV for me is the end. You just gotta melt seeing these boys in all black attires on the rooftop of a building with their black angelic wings coming out! One word peeps~ EPIC!!!


There just so many things going on in my mind right now and I keep thinking about the MV. Gotta watch it again! So, I leave you guys with the MV and get immersed in spell!!


Credits to iloveteuk2 on Youtube

P/S: As a bonus, and also as a justification that these boys have amazing voices, the video below is their comeback performance for this song, MR removed!! Which means all extra music and backup vocals in the minus one are removed! Just the melody and their raw voices.~ See for yourself how good these boys are.. Get indulged!

*signed off to watch the MV again!*

RIng Ding Dong: SHINee's Evolution?

Another quick escape from dissertation!! My boys, SHINee’s comeback performance was aired a couple of hours ago and I’m here to share it with you guys! Ring Ding Dong is the name of the song and they came back with a rebel image. I didn’t really get hooked on the song at first but after watching it with the performance, it’s kinda cool!


However, I still have to agree that the lyrics are so random. It’s supposed to be a song of confession to a girl whom you’re crazy in love with but there are words such as ‘ring ding dong’, ‘rocka’ and ‘elastic’! ‘Ring ding dong’ could possibly be the expression of showing how haywire your brain gets after falling for the girl but I don’t really get the purpose of the word ‘rocka’…and ‘elastic’??? What is so elastic about falling crazily in love? I don’t even wanna go there. Sounds kinda perv! ROTFL!~


But, I’m loving their energetic performance as usual although I’m not so sure about Taemin’s overall image. He seriously needs to lose the hair and the oversized bolero. Key’s hair reminds me of DBSK’s Micky in Mirotic. Onew’s hair is like DBSK’s Yunho’s hair in My Destiny, minus the colour and my beloved Minho’s hair is kinda like Yunho’s when it was long! I’m sensing similar hairstylists here.. Hehe~


Their dance moves are awesome as usual and Minho’s rap part just sent me flying~ LOL!~ I love the red and black concept but I’m missing their colourful image back then already. There’s not much of Michael Jackson’s influence in their songs anymore and it’s kinda good for them in a way that people will not associate SHINee with Michael Jackson any longer.


I’m gonna stop with the words right now and instead, I’ll provide you guys with their live performances since their debut until now… You’ll be the judge~


Debut song, ‘Noona, You’re So Pretty~

Next single, ‘Love Like Oxygen’





3rd single, ‘A.Mi.Go’



Credits to randy1997


Next, ‘Julliette’ (one of my favourites^^)



Credits to randy19973s


Latest song, ‘Ring Ding Dong’

There you have it. I’m sure you guys are going to agree with me that these boys have grown up! I’m going to continue following these boys and I am hoping that they’ll come out with a ballad song soon because all of them have outstanding voices! Can’t believe it? Here’s a bonus for you guys… A song called ‘In My Room’ from their first album performed by the 3 vocalists of the group, Onew, Jonghyun and Key. Enjoy!

P/S: One thing you’ll notice is that these boys really go for skinny jeans all the way! I wish I look good in skinnies like these chaps!^^ LOL!~

MV Marathon... SUPER!!!!

Hey peeps!~ I'm finally back...but not for long though~ T_T ~



I've been busy with my dissertation and I can promise you guys that I won't be able to escape from the shield of 'Mr. Dissy' for a loooong time, well at least until next month. I'm super glad that Steve Ansell, my tutor accepted my 1st chapter and I'm currently editing my 2nd and 3rd chapter. If things go right, I'll start my 4th chapter next week, InsyaAllah~ In the mean time, I'll be burried under tonnes of books, articles and journals!!! And the bad news is..... this blog will be on hiatus again.. Urgh~ Poor my baby....



Well, the purpose of this sudden entry in my current super-duper busy days is inevitable. The reason? I woke up super early this morning and check on the updates on the internet as usual and I was super overjoyed to know that my sweetheart, Taeyang of Big Bang has released his MV for his intro song, "Where U At?"!!!!! Wooooooot!!! Just the mentioning of it makes my heart jumping in super mode! ROTFL~



And to add to that, my current favourite super girl group, f(x) has also released the MV for the song "Chocolate Love" which is a promotional song for LG CYON handphone, Chocolate! Gahh~~ What a good way to start my day! I'm a bit upset though that the screentime of my super beloved Amber is super few! Urgh!~ Well in case you guys don't know, Amber, the tomboyish girl from f(x) is my latest KPOP super crush!~ Heehee~~~ *melts* (A note to everyone: Don't worry, I'm still super straight.. Hahahaha!~ It's just that I think Amber is super hot!! Hehe~)



SNSD, another girl group from the same company, SM Entertainment (which is gaining haters at the moment for being super inhumane to their artists), is also endorsing the same phone. Their version of "Chocolate Love" MV is also released today! Super YIPPIEEEE!!!!!!!!




So, without further a due, I'm going to unleash you guys into a marathon of these MVs... Enjoy!



First up is "Chocolate Love" by f(x). This song has an injection of a retro pop style, just the way I like it! Hehe~ Their image is kind of bold and sexy here...I'm sure guys are going to drool over this!~^^ Check out my super hot Amber... I'm sure you guys can recognise the only boyish one in the MV and in case you guys can't, she's the one who raps! Super cool!!!



Credits to dirah9302 on Youtube




Next is SNSD's version of "Chocolate Love"! I'm loving this version more that the one by f(x). It sounds and looks more classy and stylish... Another super treat for the guys!



Credits to aienbest on Youtube




And last but not least, a treat for the girls..more for myself actually~ Hehe~ Taeyang's "Where U At?"!!! I'm loving everything of it, the super dark atmosphere, the super ghetto setting, the super awesome song plus Taeyang's super soulful voice, super great dance and super sexy abs.. Hehehehe~ Taeyang FTW! Hands down! Check out the piano intro of his next promotional song, "Wedding Dress" at the end of the MV~ Let the MV do the talking... Here goes~



Credits to Baby B0ngaholic on Youtube



So, there you go... the three eye+ear candies that made my day today started off superawesomely! Got to go now... "Mr. Dissy" is calling me! T_T See you guys...not so soon~~~





P/S: Just got back from class and found out that my super adorable (not anymore) boys, SHINee have come out with a teaser for Ring Ding Dong!! SUPER AWESOMENESS!!!! Check it out!

Roller-coaster: A Compilation of Events~

Today has been a really challenging day for me I must say. To start with, I can’t sleep last night because most of my teddies are gone! T_T ~ I’ve shipped all of them back home. I thought I was going to be fine but it turned out that I can’t actually sleep without my precious Esu-J (a combination of Eric, Junsu and Crown J… LOL!~ My Kpop sweethearts~). In the end, I only managed to sleep at 6am!


I woke up to a phone call from my mummy!!~~ Now that’s a super wonderful thing to start a day with! Hee~~ We only chatted for a while and after that I decided to do my laundry……and that’s when my ‘challenging’ day started. I don’t know what the problem with all the washing machines here is but I actually have to switch washing machines TWO times because they didn’t work. That was such a waste of money and detergent!!! Urrgh~


After that I went to withdraw my money and guess what??!!! I didn’t get any money out plus my debit card!!! The effing cash machine swallowed my card!!! Dia telan kad aku beb!!! Tak cukup kenyang ke telan kad2 before this? And to make things worse, I’m going for my Euro trip tomorrow! T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W!!! (It should be in a few hours actually since it’s already past midnight..lol) To tell you the truth, I felt like crying my heart out! I called Fizah and she came and we called the bank yada yada yada~~~ ( I don’t feel like talking about it..seriously!) and it was settled, only that the new freaking card will arrive on the 11th of August!! By that time, I’ll already be in Austria!! Now, I have to trouble Nadhia and transfer my money into her account because she’ll be traveling along with me. All my transactions will be done by Nadhia. Looking at the bright side, it’s a good thing actually, because Nadhia is a good budget planner. LOL!~


I went back into my room when everything was settled only to realize that I was HUNGRY!!! It was 5pm and I hadn’t eaten anything! Syaz suddenly called me over and gave me some food. It turned out that she cooked a lot and she couldn’t finish them. Just what I needed!! FOOD!! Hee~~


In the end, I would really, really like to thank my housemates for helping me through the day. Thanks Fizah for going through the trouble of calling the bank and settling the problems with the card (I couldn’t even call the bank because I was on the verge of crying… Hehe~). Thanks Nadhia for allowing me to transfer my money into your account for the holiday and thanks Syaz for the yummy food!! Hee~ Owh, how will I live without you guys here~ LOVE YOU GUYS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! SARANGAHAE!!!!!


All I can do is to be patient for the time being. I know it’s challenge from Allah~^^ SMILE & CHEER UP!~~~~ Heeeeee~~~ I’m sure things are going to be fine after this~~~


Okay, let’s move on.. Since I will be gone for more than 2 weeks, this post is going to be a looooooong one.. Hehehe~


DREAM (SBS DRAMA)

I’m currently following a Korean drama called ‘Dream’. It’s already on its 4th episode now and I have to abandon it for a while since I’ll be going off. To sum up the plot, it’s actually a drama about the making of an amazing boxer who was once a pickpocket. I have to admit that sports dramas are not my cup of tea but the reason for me watching this drama is……. KIM BUM!!!!
Don't you just love him?? HEE~^^

Yup! Another precious Korean darling of mine! Heee~ He is such a sweet thing~~ And just by watching him say ‘Hi’ and ‘Good Morning’ in the drama can make me curled up on my bed already.. LOL!~ Another reason to watch this drama is the debut appearance of Son Dambi, the singer/dancer as an actress. Her acting is okay and I’m not surprised if I see her acting in more dramas in the future.


P/S: Marco is also starring in the drama~~ Watching Son Dambi and Marco in a drama just reminds me of them in We Got Married (a reality show~)!

SHIPPING
Yesterday, a group of us sent some of our stuffs here back to Malaysia! Haih~~ How time flies… 4 more months to go and then… Home Sweet Home!!! LOL!~ I sent 2 large boxes which includes a lot of storybooks, handbags, shoes, souvenirs and my beloved TEDDIES!!! T_T


As I’ve mentioned above, I miss my Esu-J and last night was the first time sleeping without him! Luckily Junju (Junsu Jr. lol~) is here~~ At least I still have him to hug every night. Poor my teddies because for the next 3 months, the stuffy boxes will be their home.. No worries children.. Mummy is coming home!!! And that goes to my babies as well.. Note that ‘babies’ here means my handbags and shoes.. LOL!~


Esu-J... Mummy will miss you!! T_T


My three darlingtons during the nights: Esu-J, Junju and my red cushion~

K.I.S.S
I came across this video here and I couldn’t stop replaying it! I finally found the making of the commercial starring my Taiwanese definition of a sexy hunk, Wilber Pan *melts* and Lee Hyori, one of Korean great female singers and *cough*sexy queens*cough*! LOL~ The highlight of this commercial…… They kissed!!!!! And they have to do it for ten takes to make it look nice! Eff you Mr. Director!!! Luckily, I like Lee Hyori. If not… I can guarantee that there’s gonna be a lot more sensored words in this post! LOL!~ Enjoy the video!

FOOD!
As some of you might know, whenever I’m having my periods, I just can’t be separated from the kitchen.. Hehehehe~~~ I’ll be in the mood of cooking, experimenting new recipes and then fattening myself! Heee~~ Just a few days ago, I went straight to the kitchen at midnight just to make a homemade ‘kerisik’! (don’t know what it’s called in English) LOL!~ As you know, making kerisik is not easy as we have to spend hours stirring desiccated coconut~ I don’t know what has got into me that time.. Hehehe…


Stirring desiccated coconut~


The end product... Looks more like serunding~
The reason: The desiccated coconut were bought from a supermarket and they added some kinda chemical in it...


I've also made Japanese Curry~ Hee~


This month, my ‘food-mood’ during my periods are desserts! I don’t know why but I have spent days stuffing myself with chocolates, muffins, doughnuts, ice-creams and Fizah’s homemade ‘Pengat Pisang’. There was a time when I’ve run out of sweet food and resulted in eating BAKING CHOCOLATE!! ROTFL!~ I was THAT desperate! Hehehe~


Syaz bought me this doughnut and I ate it while watching 'Tantei Gakuen Q'~


P/S: I’m even enjoying some ice-creams while writing this post! LOL! Thanks Syaz!! ^^ I guess she really is my food feeder~ Hehe~





HOLIDAY
I’m finally going on my summer holiday!!~~ Yipppiieeeee!!!~~~ For the next 17 days, Me, Nadhia, Syaz, Suhaimi, Unie, Tirah, Moon and a bunch of other Malaysians around UK will go on a Euro Trip together! I’m sure it’s gonna be a lot of fun! We’ll be going to London tomorrow morning and after that, we’ll be off to Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France! Yay!!!~~


I really don't know how to travel light huh? LOL~


I’m sure gonna miss my laptop a lot because my laptop has been my main source of entertainment since I came to England. Looks like I have to abandon all my Korean sites and be held back from updates for the next 17 days! Haih~ I can’t take ditching the KPop world when DBSK’s lawsuit issues are hot topics at the moment! Oohhhhh.. give me strength!


Anyway, my ice-cream is finishing. I’m gonna get a second helping now! LOL!~ Hope you peeps can pray for our safe trip!!! See you in 17 days!! Bye!!~~~ XOXOXOXOXOXO


Ooooooh... Syaz just came in with my second bowl of ice-cream!!! Gonna indulge myself!~
Daaaa~~

MAUT~

Don’t be stunned by the title, it’s just that moi, Nadhia and Fiza just had the opportunity to watch the film ‘Maut’ last night although it was released in Malaysia in January this year. Yelah, nak buat mcm mane dah duduk jauh kan? Thanks to Nadhia yg memang banyak access to filem-filem Malaysia nih (movies from Indonesia, Thailand pun dia byk dpt~ hehehe)…. I just HAVE to do a review of this movie after watching it (walaupun lambat 6 bulan…hihihi)…… and pardon me, I will be using a 'rojak' language here because I believe some of the expressions are better conveyed using Bahasa Melayu.



So basically, the movie comprises of three different stories. The first story starts with 2 girls who don’t know each other, Su and Fadilah, on a bus. Su then got off the bus and went home. She was doing her work when she suddenly heard a whispering voice calling her name and the voice greet her with a ‘salaam’ (seram giler part ni gua ckp lu.. bulu roma mmg gerenti tegak terpacak mcm lepas pakai Brylcream yg Azar dok promote kat blog dier..huhu). Okay, moving on~ Su opened the door and saw the girl from the bus (Fadilah). Fadilah said that she has been a victim of snatched theft at the bus stop and she has no money to go to her aunt’s house. Su, being a super-oh-so-nice-and-innocent girl let Fadilah in and asked her to sleepover for the night and promised that she’ll send Fadilah to her aunt’s house the next morning.


The thing is, I know la benda ni cite kan, tp logic la sket beb. Firstly, ko dah dgr ada suara bisik2 kat telinga ko. Then, ko bukak pintu, ko nampak budak pompuan atas bas tu terpacak kat depan umah ko. Logically, dah la budak tu turun kat stop yg lain dpd ko, so how on earth does she know where you live?! And ko dgn sesuka hatinya ajak dia tido plak kat umah ko. Haisy~I’m gonna speak no more of the storyline. Enough to say that YES, Fadilah was a HANTU and she seeked for Su’s help to find her body which was raped and murdered.


My opinion on this first story….. I HATE the dubbing! Tak logik langsung. I know la filem Malaysia ni kurang budget but the actors have to be realistic jugak la time buat dubbing tu. Just imagine, you’re on top of a stairs and you are talking to your girlfriend who is down the stairs but the intonation tu mcm ko tgh ckp dgn org kat sblah ko. The next thing is, the actors don’t look natural when acting (except for Raja Farah. She’s good!). Bak kata Nadhia, dorg ckp dialog tu mcm tgh kena assess time ujian lisan BM for SPM..LOL!!! Believe it or not, pakcik pelakon extra yg jadi polis tu pun lagi natural lakonannya~ LOL! All I all, the plot is definitely predictable for the first story and there’s no part in the story which gives me goosebumps except for the part where the ghost whispers to Su.


The second story revolves around a Muslim woman yg dah terpesong akidahnya and she is married to a white guy. Her lifestyle does not represent her religion at all until one day in the month of Ramadhan when she realised that she has been living a sinful life. She was on the way to perform the tarawikh prayers when she collapsed in front of the mosque. She went into a comma for three days and during that period she experienced a nightmare where she got her punishments for all the sins she made. I gotta say that I love this part of the story! Walaupun menakutkan, tp at the same time menginsafkan. Alhamdulillah~ The presentation was so vivid and I gotta give double thumbs up for the CGI. Quoting Fiza, “kalau aku jadi pelakon pompuan ni, sah aku insaf pakai tudung terus lepas berlakon scene tu”.


Despite all the scenes yg menginsafkan tu, this second story does give me a shock! I can’t believe that FINAS approved the words ‘s**t’, ‘b****rd’ and ‘d**khead’! Boy, are you freaking serious?! I mean, if this is a Hollywood film, I wouldn’t even care but to think that this is a Malaysian movie… Hmmmphh~~ And what’s more surprising is that the scenes of the ‘stag party’ and ‘hen party’ are also approved! Whoaaa~~ During the stag party, the actor actually bared the upper half of his body while dancing with DRAG QUEENS and at the hen party, the actress was blindfolded and then she was given a BANANA to lick!!! PISANG BEB!! You know what I mean kan?!! *naughty thoughts heh?* LOL! Seriously speaking, I have no idea that Malaysian movies have gone as far as this… Bukan nak tipu la, but sepanjang scene tu mmg aku istighfar je~


Macam the first story, ade jugakla scenes yg tak logik dalam cite no 2 nih. Firstly, time pelakon pompuan tu kuar from ER, she still pakai telekung lagi~ Takkan la nurse tak tukarkan baju dia? Hmmpphh~~ Next, there was a scene where the actors supposed to be drinking wine tp wine dia tu tak nampak real~ Macam air sirap je~ Kalau standard kat UK yg takde air sirap nih, air tu nampak mcm blackcurrant cordial yg Fiza slalu minum… hehehe~. I have to agree with Nadhia sbb dia ckp kalau pakai air Ribena pun nampak lagi real kot!~ ROTFL!!~~ But still, I applaud the director for portraying the reality in Malaysia right now. Name je negara Islam, tp ramai yg hidup mcm tu~ Quoting dialog pelakon pompuan dalam cite ni “…Islam hanya pada nama”.


Moving on to the third and last story… I would say that out of the three stories, this one is our favourite!!! The cast ensemble was great and their acting was superb. Just imagine, in one story you have actors like Fauziah Nawi, Que Haidar, Eja, Ridzuan Hashim and last but not least… MY Awal Ashaari *melts*…. Yes, it deserves a repetition, MY Awal Ashaari *melts again* .. LOL!~ To keep it short, this story is basically about a group of black-metal-worshippers-teenagers who went to a black metal concert on the the eve of Eid. Takde keje btol bdk2 nih~ Malam raya org pegi takbir, dorg pegi konsert plak. Tolong mak pasang langsir kat umah lagi bagus. Cet~


So yeah, they went to the concert and on the way back they met with an accident. Only two people survived and yup.. MY Awal’s character died! T_T (geram btol~ I was thinking of seeing more of him in the movie walaupun die nampak cam budak black metal yg hampes~). Being the lead of the third story, Que Haidar’s character survived but again…like in the second story, fell into a deep comatose where he had a flashback of his childhood and then the ghost of his childhood haunts him. Seriously cakap la, memang tak menakutkan langsung~ hehehe… He died soon after and then came part yg menginsafkan~ Masa jenazah dia dimasukkan dalam kereta jenazah, empat2 tayar kereta tu pancit~ Then, time nak kebumikan, lahad dia penuh dgn air. Lepas dikebumikan pun tanah kubur dia hari2 mendap. Kenapa benda ni jadi? Faham2 sendiri la. Renung2 kan la ye.. Buatla muhasabah diri sikit.


My review on this last story would be… This is the only part of the whole movie where I can see real acting from every cast. I’m not being biased because MY Awal is in it. Trust me! Satu benda je la yg aku tak puas hati (this will sound a bit personal..haha)… Muka MY Awal tu dah cun2 hensem habes dah~ Tak bleh terima la bile tgk muka die kene calit dgn foundation yg tak sesuai dgn skin tone dia! Eyeliner pun mengalahkan Cleopatra beb! LOL!!! Kesian MY Awal~


Story yg last ni pun buat kitorg terkejut gak sebab scene konsert black metal tu mmg aku tak leh nak hadap. Macam tu la agaknyer situasi kat konsert2 black metal ni kot~ Skinship dia mmg melampau! Ada satu part tu, sepasang couple ni mmg sket je lagi nak comolot dgn lahapnyer.. (pardon my words there~). My Awal dgn Que Haidar tu pun dgn tanpa segan silunye memeluk Nana AF and Sherry Ibrahim dgn terlampaunyer. Taula nak feeling berlakon tp agak2la sket~ Dialog dalam cite no 3 ni pun tersangatla beraninyer. Tak payah la tulis kat sini ape dialognye. Gerun nak tulis, “Kalau silap2 sebut ni boleh murtad” (Nadhia 2009). Seriously! Hopefully pelakon2 cite ni byk2la bawak mengucap lepas berlakon~


Lastly, I would say that this movie is worth watching. For people yang boring tahap gaban during the first story, just hang in there a little bit because the stories just keep getting better towards the end. Congrats to Bade Hj. Azmi because he managed to come out with a movie yg sarat dgn mesej. My disappointment of this movie will be a few technical flaws yg buatkan filem ni kadang2nye nampak tak logik. Dengan penuh confidentnyer, I’ll give this movie 3/5 stars. Ok la~~ I’m hoping to see better Malaysian movies in the future.


P/S: Lepas ni nak tunggu cite ‘Skrip 7707’ plak. Dengar cite promotion die gempak giler. 9 cerita hantu dalam satu filem (mmg trend ek buat byk2 cite hantu skrg nih?). Ada 35 pelakon yg hebat katenye… Lagila tak sabar nak tgk. Mane taknye, filem ni kuar same tarikh dgn Harry Potter kat Malaysia tp kutipan jualan dia lagi tinggi dpd Harry Potter! Biar betik??!!


P/P/S: I’m in my absolute blogging mood today~ I plan to post 3 entries in a row! LOL!~ Wait for it~
