Its been so so so so long since my last post. Before I start my post, a ZILLION TENKIUK to rojak for keeping this alive, never forgetting our story, and not forgetting to have a new cover for this awesome blog!
Oh well, 2012 is coming in 24 hours. I wouldn't want to recap what I did in this year. I've listed what I would want to do in 2012, because for no reason, I am so looking forward to the NEW YEAR!
1. For the past few years, I have the habit of having new stuff for new year. 2012 would be same. I will be having something NEW. 2. I wish to have a healthy body and don't get sick that often. ( I remembered having high fever for 4-6 times in 2011) 3. I would want to shed another 5-8 kg of my body. I want slim slim! 4. To change half of my wardrobe clothes cos the clothes bought last year seem to be bigger ( Did I just say shopping?) 5. To dress nicely everyday =D I don't seem to posses girl's ability to pose in front of the mirror for 24 hours. 6. To travel to the places which I have planned * fingers crossed* 7. Spend more quality time with my parents. 8. Smooth sailing relationship with seng-kor ^.^ 9. Last but not least, to meet up at least monthly with my siaochaboS.
Ah, I think my resolution is not that hard. Achieveble but need hard work epecially 5.
Finally to end off, DFTBA! ( RJ, thanx for letting me copy)
Mode: Free, chilling in the living room. Rainy outside. Kinda wanna poop.
Some time ago, I started to use the developer’s timeline version (how to get it) of facebook and it’s pretty cool if you have the time and effort to edit the banner for your facebook profile.
My mediocre attempt on my profile looks alright and i lubs it…
Today, since I’m kinda free (actually I need to return my library books, get my ears checked out blablabla but I can’t be arsed) I messed around with the functions on the timeline and I discovered 2 things:
You can feature a certain post by giving it the “big up”. A normal post looks like this
A featured post looks like this
You can totally cheat your timeline. Let’s say you forgot to post something earlier and need to post it now: there’s a way for you to set the date of the posting. It doesn’t allow future posting though. Which sux. And if you want to change the date of your post AFTER you’ve posted it, you can. Ain’t that awesome or wut. So totally using it to hide my movements to the people the prying eyes of the office pricks XD
Can’t wait for FB to release it all over and see everyone bitching and whining about it hehehehe
I've been keeping a bunch of movie tickets (when I end up holding the tickets, I get to keep em. Other ppl tend to just throw them away) in my wallet from the movies I've gone to. The reason I kept them was for record keeping purposes (cos I can't remember what movies I've watched).
And since I have a bunch of them now, I thought, "why not do a movie review for each of them?" However, some of the movies were from a very long time ago so it might just be dot dot dot that I come up with. And the reviews ain't gonna be like professional reviews, y'know?
And in no chronological order (coz I'm lazy like that), here goes...
Gulliver's Travels (4.5 / 5) I remember Jack Black and Emily Blunt and that cute guy Jason (something. I remember him from Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Wait, lemme go a Google search.
[New tab Google search]
OK yes, his name is Jason Segel. Now back to the review. Nice movie, as usual, anything with Jack Black just pwns. Next movie.
Resident Evil 3D (0.5 / 5) [Did you honestly think there was going to be more than that in the last review? Nope. It's just random crap about each movie. Coz, like I said, I'm lazy like that]
I have a lot of love for the past Resident Evil movies because there were a lot of awesome fight scenes and also the plot just moves along and blows your mind like BAM BAM BOOM BAM (cue Jackie Chan with hurt knuckles).
Naturally, I had a lot of expectations for this one, and with it being in 3D and all, I nearly shat my pants in sexcitement when I saw the trailer for it.
But I ended up regretting paying RM16 for what I already got for free. The only exciting parts in the actual movie were already in the trailer. There was nothing new, and there wasn't much plot. Just a stupid Val Kilmer lookalike who died very easily in the end. [I just spent 5mins googling Val Kilmer coz I forgot his name]. And there wasn't much action so whichever action was there were in slo-mo. SUX.
Kung Fu Panda 2 (5 / 5) Hell Yeah another Jack Black movie!!!! Wasn't expecting a sequel but in true Hollywood style, they made one! And it's AWSUM!!!
It’s got the same level of funny as the original Panda movie and the ending made me cry. Actually if I remember correctly, the movie made me cry a few times throughout. Can’t wait for the third one, the cliffhanger damn near killed me >.<
Old Dogs (? / 5)
I can’t remember much from this movie, but I think it was about a bunch of old men trying to come to terms that they are now senior citizens????
Legion (2.5 / 5)
Again, don’t remember much from this movie, but I think it’s about some battle between angels and their allegiance towards God and them questioning God’s will, or sumfink liddat… I think there were also scenes where these guys fighting to protect a pregnant woman coz she was about to give birth to our saviour. Kinda a meh movie.
Tooth Fairy (2 / 5)
Talking about meh movies, this kinda sucked ass. I’ve always liked The Rock, but him taking the path of going waaaaayyyy too Disney with this one is something I cannot tahan. TUTU. Damn FREAKING TUTU. KAMON?!
2012 (4.5 / 5)
A good number of people thought this one to be a meh movie, but I liked it due to the fact that I really want the world to end really soon. The Earth has been crawling with too many creeps. We need some cleansing ritual here. And also, the scene where the Earth collapsed underneath the plane, that scene got me friggin’ scared. Srsly.
1) I wore my PizzaJohn t-shirt and I got quite a number of stares (go google) and I just can't help but giggle whenever I detect someone staring at my shirt XD
2) I managed to get Great Gatsby that I ordered from MPH. (side note: never ever let yourself be serviced by a girl named Dini. She's the skinny, bent-over girl who types goddamn slowly). So now I can boast that I own even more books that I have not gotten around to read.
3) While getting home, I rode the same elevator as my Bollywood star lookalike boss (he's really cute, ask the girls in the office and they'll agree). We small-talked while I was walking to my car and he to the temple (he always goes to the temple). In general, I just hate small talks, coz I never know what to say but yesterday was different. It was like a fangirl talking to a superstar, you know? He's married btw, and his baby is due anytime soon :D
4) When I got home you know what my mum found in the mail? ELLEN HARDCASTLE. It was shipped by the record company on 7th Sept and I was starting to worry that (a) it has been lost or "lost" in the mail (b) the customs had considered it violating some copyright law or some entertainment industry law and "confiscated" it. Thank god it arrived safely :D
Ok, so the videos are shitty. I managed to get the beginning of the song in the first vid, and the ending of the song in the second vid. But you're only missing one chorus, so that's ok.
I've been doing grown-up stuff lately which is the reason why I've not updated for a very long time.
I've recently come across videos from 2 brothers on Youtube and their channel is named vlogbrothers.
Basically they are brothers John and Hank Green and they had a project called Brotherhood2.0 (like Web2.0, geddit?) in year 2007 whe in the whole year, they would alternate weekdays to make a vlog post. EVERYDAY.
It's a very interesting project. You can see them talking about their lives, their family and their wives and all. And most of all you see them happy being nerds. (the best part XD).
John would frust about writing his books and Hank would talk about green tech and sing, they're just real talented nerds.
For me, it's just embarrassing to talk in front of a camera and also I like to hide behind paragraphs so watching them do it is so much cooler.
Also, watch this vid of Hank singing about Harry Potter :D

Ok about me, owner of half of 2SCBs stocks.
Work is stabilising, don't have to stay that late anymore nowadays, so that's good news.
So whoever's reading this probably already knows I work for Citibank (URGH OPPRESSED CORPORATE LAMB, I HAVE BECOME ONE). And the phone banking department is called Citiphone.
Recently, there has been a competition for worldwide (i think so?) Citiphoners to take part in a "Citiphone Got Talent" thing. Citiphoners have been rallied to submit their own songs and they would filter out the best one to represent APAC.
And, one of our very talented Citiphoner named Faidzal (really cool dude) already had the melody down so it's just the lyrics and the singing and whatnots.
I took interest in it and signed up with a few other people. We composed the lyrics to the song, the musicians took care of the music and we... recorded. (so yeah, i'm a recording "artist" now. BOOYAKASHA!)
We submitted the song and it seems that... we were the only team that submitted. The song got disseminated to the whole platform (spamming everyone's mailbox lol) and people liked it so much that we...
...were asked to guest perform at our annual dinner.
ooooookaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy....
Nerves. Bundle of nerves.
However, come the night of the event, I wasn't so nervous anymore. I was excited: excited to the point you might say I was SEXCITED W00T!!!
And so we marched up the stage and... it felt so un-nervous coz (1) there were other people (2) I was only singing background (3) there was spotlight in my eyes so I could see the audience at all, so thankfully I didn't have to imagine these people naked to overcome stage fright.
We had great fun and I hope we could win this regional thing so we could record a more professional and better edited version of the song.
I'd let you all listen to the song but unfortunately I don't have a copy of it (yet).
