Hellish holes

There's a hole in my heart, figuratively speaking that is. I feel - empty. I don't know why. These past few days have been rather unfulfilling. I don't know whether it's due to the mundane activities that I've been doing since the start of the holidays or because of something else. I just feel unmotivated. I'm sure all of you are no stranger to this little odd feeling. I'm no stranger to it myself. My first encounter with it was during high school if, I'm not mistaken. I don't think I even understand how emptiness is suppose to feel like when I was in primary school.

Anyway, I was in Form 5(Betanians I miss you... that includes 4 Betanians). One fine day, out of the blue, I felt empty. I have no idea why. I don't think it was boredom because boredom and emptiness are two very different things. Without thinking, I asked my friend who was sitting beside me 'Kau pernah rasa kosong tak?'. The friend, who also happens to be the monitor replied 'Mesti lah pernah,' and that was it. Clearly the story book that she was reading was much, much more interesting than my question. Why woudn't it be when it had the title '6 Reasons to Stay a Virgin'. Pretty catchy isn't it? But the story was not great anyway. I only liked the cover of the book.

I just brushed the whole thing of after that very insightful thought from Miss Monitor ;) . I suppose I did give some thought to it but not much. SPM was more important, no? So it ended there. I entered college the following year and I must say I was happy. I was happy with how things are going - my classes, friends, just about everything of my life although there are a few glitches here and there. I thought I was fine until recently jeng, jeng, jeng... 'it' came back. That weird little feeling. What? Why? How? I asked but I couldn't find the answer. I suppose I haven't prayed hard enough. That reminds me of a character named Rosa from the 1995 movie Sabrina (not Sabrina the teenage witch). Rosa was one of the maids to the wealthy Larrabees. There was this scene where all the maids where congregating in the kitchen. The chauffeur's daughter, Sabrina, had sent a letter from Paris and so the chauffeur was reading it to them. Everyone was certain that Sabrina was unhappy, living all alone in Paris. At one point, Rosa was relating her story of how she felt when she first arrived in America:

'Mr. Tom, maybe is not for me to put my hands in on this, but when I first come to this country, I am alone, like Sabrina. I just weigh more. So I ask to God why I am here. I say, "Why God?" but there is no answer. So I stop crying. It takes eleven years!'

Haha. This movie really has some of the most funny and witty lines. I don't know how many times I've watched it. And so, yes, I still haven't found the answer. I sure hope it won't take 11 years but if it does, than there's nothing I can do. In the mean time, I shall continue 'filling' this particular 'hole' by watching movies. (Unless interesting suggestions pop up. Anyone?) I've recently watched Sylvia, a depressing but insightful movie nevertheless, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and the lovely Daniel Craig although he looks awful in this one. It's the hair I tell you. And I also had the opportunity of watching Drag me to Hell which was more hillarious than hellish. Seriously, don't watch it. It was so crappy that it made me laugh and I was the only one laughing in the cinema. I was waiting to get scared for God's sake! I should've trusted the reviewers and watched Transformers again with my family. Or maybe The Third House on the Left. Read that it was good in The Star.

Transported into the Twilight Zone

5 things I like in Transporter 3:

• The real star of the show, the Audi A8 (what a beauty)
• The cool stunts that Mr Frank Martin did with the car
• The camera angles
  
• The cool and stylish yet life threatening bracelet
  

and

• Natalya Rukakova's hair. But I'm still in love with Olga :)
  

2-wheeling, baby!

Look me in the eyes you freckled gloom and doom Russian...
erm...Ukrainian

Ah, yes. Her lovely hair.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 things I like about Twilight:

• The realistic awkwardness between a father and a daughter
• The chemistry between the two leads
• The shot where Bella first saw the Cullens
• Bella's sense of maturity (She sounds stupid in the book)
• Kristin Stewart :) Great acting from her.
  

Eventhough Robert Pattinson wasn't as gorgeous as I expected
him to be but theysure look great together.

Edward when he's not hungry. I think Bella outshines him.

She had so much hair. It looks better tied up.

Love these pics:

Mad - A - Gas - Car (Haha)

Haha...and so I've watche it! Madagascar Escape 2 Africa takes of from where we last see these 4 'New Yorkers'. While the previous movie was about their coming to realization how completely clueless they were about the world outside the zoo or 'The Wild', this second movie is about going back to their roots, in other words - AFRICA.

Alright, let's just cut to the chase. I just love this movie. It's just full of Merapu-ing.Haha. Yes, notice the capitalized 'M'.It's not so much about the storyline but the characters that got me in stitches throughout the movie especially the 4 penguins aka the 'Happy Flappers' - Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, Private and the ultimate King of Merapu-ness, King Julien. And this movie has a lot of memorable lines that no matter how many times you hear it or repeat it to yourself (haha), laughter would surely proceed afterwards.

My favourite line so was when Skipper told the... I don't know what you call it but I'm just gonna refer it as the 'shaking' doll, haha... you know, those dolls that you put near the dashboard in your car that shakes? Yup, that one... LOL. And yes, back to the line. Skipper said

'Why doll, you're shaking like a leaf!'

I was laughing like hell when that line came out! Their plane was crashing so of course the doll thingy was shaking like mad. And the fact that he called the thing 'Doll' makes it a hell lot funnier. What's even merapu is the part where the Happy Flappers were negotiating with the 'Higher Mammals' aka the monkeys about maternity leave. It's total merapu-ness I tell you! Aha!There's Skipper's doll...

And they actually got married in the end. LOL. Noticed the duct tape? Poor gal, had too many accidents.

And of course, who can resist King Julien's charm. This guy I tell you is just full of nonsense and as we've seen in the previous movie, is so full of himself. Only in this movie, he goes more beserk. Haha.

"If I had only two days to live, I would invade a neighboring country, and force my ideology on them, whether they wanted it or not."

A great politician in the making.

But he looks weird without his crown though.
Never mind let him be King. Just imagine if he joined our Sidang Parlimen.

'Yang Berhormat Julien, tarik balik Yang Berhormat...'
'Sila duduk Yang Berhormat...'

Ahahaha...
He'll be dancing in the Dewan Rakyat.

'I like to move it, move it!'

Tidak Kesepian

Hari ni tidak jauh bezanya dari hari-hari yang lain. Aku lakukan tugas-tugasku seperti hari-hari cuti yang lain. Apa yang membuatkan hari ni best adalah sebab hari ni hujan. Syok je aku layan katil. 2 jam aku tidur. Giler layan. Hehe. Siap mimpi tu. Ape ntah yang aku mimpi. Mengarut betul. Mula-mula mimpi pasal monyet 'attack' kepala adik aku. Pas tu mimpi... hmm... ntah. Tak ingat. Tapi pelik gak ar. Bangun-bangun, mak aku bawak balik goreng pisang ngan teh tarik. Chantek... Memang diriku selalu kebuluran tatkala bangkit dari tidur. Ape lagi... Kami 5 branak balun goreng pisang ngan teh tarik.

Bile perut dah kenyang, mak ku mengeluarkan statement berikut... 'Jom gi tgk sepi'. So aku, mak ngan adik pon gi la ke Galaxy Ampang, port wayang kami. Haih... tapi sayang... Aku berasa tidak puas hati dengan filem tersebut. Aku pergi dengan harapan yang tinggi menggunung tapi apa yang aku dapat? Kedukaan yang melampau! Sekali lagi aku tertipu oleh trailer!
Haha. X sepi langsung filem tu... Ok la..adela rase sedih. Hatiku seperti hati manusia-manusia lain juga... Bukan diperbuat daripada batu. Tapi tak de la sedih sangat cerita nya. Cuma yang aku suka part Afdlin Shauki sebab part dia lawak. Hehe. Selain itu, cinematography dia pon agak cun. Scene kegemaranku time Vanidah Imran ngan Afdlin main balin-baling bende kat dapur. Memang cute scene tu.

Secara keseluruhan ceritanya boleh tahan la.Ramai yang berpendapat bahawa filem ini amat menyentuh jiwa dan tidak kurang juga yang menganggap bahawa filem ini adalah antara filem yang terbaik yang terdapat di Malaysia. Entahlah, aku lebih suka filem Khabir Bhatia yang dulu, 'Cinta'. Aku rase filem tu lagi menusuk kalbu. Haih...xpe2..lain orang lain lidahnya ye dak? Yang penting jangan biarkan diri anda diselubungi sepi...

Flying colours...

Despite all the negativity that has been surrounding the 'Speed Racer' movie due to the excessive use of colours (they used a hell lot of bright colours) I must say I enjoyed it very much. Heck, I wouldn't mind watching it again eventhough there was nothing spectacular about the story line. It's like a mature version of those Disney movies but I enjoyed the movie nevertheless thanks to the really colourful world of racing. Lol..I love colours!The effects were really superb that it made me wanna drive a Mach 5! Yeah right. I can't even drive the bloody Viva! Tinggi betul cita-cita. Another thing worth mentioning is how the story started. I was hooked right from the beginning thanks to their effective opening. Sounds familiar Mass Com/English students? Lol. They certainly know how to jump start the movie. This movie has definitely passed with flying colours in my book. Gosh, I love puns! :)














p.s.: I just realized how hot Matthew Fox is.

The Life and Times of TV Datuks

Honestly, I don't understand what's happening to our tv shows right now. I'm getting tired of watching Malay dramas that are so predictable. Everyone seems to be Datuks, Datins or some conglomerate of a supposedly money making company who have Sazalis(I'm referring to the good for nothing Sazali character from Anakku Sazali) for children. If the Datuks and Datins are lucky, they'll get the good and sensible ones but that rarely happens and they usually come in the form of anak angkats(adopted children) or perhaps a distance relative of some sort.

Beware Datuk!

Datuk, when you're a mogul you're bound to be envied by others and that's where that blood sucking, power hungry brother-in-law of yours comes along complete with a knife and fork and maybe even a can of whip cream ready to grabbed your lovely 'pie' from your bare hands. Oh, and lets not forget those children of yours. They too want a piece and probably more if they're smart,of the pie. Now, don't you wish you've used the cane with your Sazalis?

But, alas,you can't turn back time now can you? So don't be surprised to find... Good Gracious! It's your love child!...who after 25 years had finally mastered the courage to visit you and to what else? To claim his/her share of the pie because he IS your son/daughter.

Poor Datuk. What are you to do now? Well, since your hair isn't getting any blacker(Nevermind, you can always colour it), why not 'bukak another cawangan'? You know, live life to the fullest?. After all, it's only a matter of time before one of those 'pie' seekers kills you while you're being warded at the hospital due to a sudden heart attack.
