I'm a princess and i demand you get me a unicorn

I realized that i owe this blog several movie reviews, since i have been watching lots of movies lately. But i'm not really in the mood to do it now though.

So i assumed that everyone in this whole wide world knows that yesterday was the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. A Disney movie come to life. You can pretend all you want, kononnya you dont give a damn but you ended up watching the wedding yesterday anyway, right? Tak payah nak bajet macho sangat. Even i went all "Awwhhh" when i watch the wedding on Youtube. Kate looks super beautiful in her white dress. Who knows what's been going through her mind. She must have some kind of an evil plan to rule the world since she's one step closer to being the queen. Joking.

I believe that every girl wants to be treated like a princess at some point, no matter how tough-looking the girl is. (Tetibe)

It's Saturday now and i'm at home not doing anything. Monday's Labor Day so everyone's heading back to their hometown since we rarely get any breaks. But not me though, i'm stuck here in Shah Alam. Contacted a few friends and invited them to have a lepak session with the fabulous me, but it turns out everyone's got their own plan with their families and stuff. Bummer.

I'm hoping tomorrow would be a better day. If you follow me on Twitter, you should know that i have been craving for some Tutti Frutti and macaroons. Hopefully i would get the chance to gobble these yummy stuff by the end of this weekend. Can ah? Hehe

Karakter kiri kanan kita #3

Perempuan memang sinonim dengan cemburu. Dalam suatu relationship itu, yang kuat cemburu pastinya yang perempuan. They call it cara tunjuk sayang, i call it paranoid.

Ada cara cara sihat untuk cemburu. Tidak perlu rasanya kau stalk Twitter/Facebook/text messages/emails kekasih hanya untuk "menjaga relationship". Kalau kau sayang pasangan kau enough untuk trust dia, jadi tak akan ada masalah di situ. Bukan memang people build relationships based on trust ke? Oh unless, kau kenal dia baru one week lalu tergesa-gesa nak berpasangan, memang lah trust tu belum ada.

Cemburu itu destructive. Perasaan itu akan buatkan seseorang jadi addict. Addicted dengan kehidupan buah hati. Dengan siapa dia sekarang, buat apa, makan apa, pakai apa semua perlu tahu. Bangunlah dari tidur woi. Bukan semua kawan perempuan dia mahu rampas dia dari kau. Bukan semua friends dia dalam Facebook sedang rancang plan untuk musnahkan relationship kau. Bukan semua perempuan yang chat dengan dia mahu seduce dia.

Maybe he's all that to you, but he's not all that to everyone. Okay?

I've been handling 3 jealousy cases in less than a year and i am damn sick of it. Guys and girls can be just friends, is that so hard to believe?

Mula mula aku rasa sakit hati dengan tuduhan. Cuma Tuhan saja tahu niat sebenar aku, tak pernah sekali pun terlintas mahu merampas. Sekadar berborak, berkawan, rasanya tak salah. Lebih lebih lagi aku, siapa yang kenal aku, mereka tahu aku bukanlah seperti perempuan perempuan lain yang comel, girly dan ayu. Tak lovable langsung. Jadi kenapa perlu rasa threatened dengan the humble me? Aku bukan lah Jessica Alba mahupun Angelina Jolie. Jadi lama lama aku ambil tuduhan itu as a compliment. Wow. Someone was threatened by me. I must be super hot and seductive then. Haha.

So you know, the real problem is not me. It's you. Kau yang tak percaya dengan relationship sendiri.

Before you go blaming the girl, maybe you should check out your man first. Just saying.

Akhir kata, jangan kuat cemburu, and please trust your partner. I know i am not in any position to tell you this, but, your relationship aint going nowhere if you keep that excessive jealousy inside of you. Again, just saying.

Why i love my weekends

Ten minutes ago i was blogwalking, and i ended up reading GadisJahat's latest post. Damn, the post, that one particular post, looks like it came straight out from my heart. Those who knows me well would know that i have issues regarding my previous blog. It seems to have created an unnecessary hype around college and suddenly i was "The Girl Who Wrote The Blog". Back in high school, yeah i guess i would be proud if i heard someone call me that. Knowing that my writing really matters, and it (hopefully) gives joy to the readers. But being known like that now, for all the wrong reasons, is just a nightmare.

But enough with all that. It's over now. Sure, i am still "The Girl Who Wrote The Blog". But it looks like everything is cooling off. Oh come on, it has been two semesters for crying out loud. Can't we all just put the past behind and start all over? Things are getting better in college now so i think it is safe to say now that i am sort of.. happy :)

Back to the main topic that i would like to write for today. (Saja nak selit this thing up here because of the effect that GadisJahat's post gave on me). Later in this post i am going to tell you about my weekend (this weekend to be exact) which has been amazingly awesome you would've been dying out of jealousy if i tell you the whole story. But wait, every great thing must be told last, so i am gonna bore you first with the story of my other weekends.

Keep reading.

Let's start with the first week i started my new semester. There was this Chic Pop event at Jaya One that Saturday so i decided to invite my high school friends to tag along. There was even an event page made on Facebook! (Farahim Ibrahim to thank) But unfortunately, i was having a class that glorious Saturday and i was forced to arrive late. Took a cab there with two of my college friends, Damia and Zuley. Arrived there and met the high school friends, only to found that they're leaving for Midvalley (because apparently they were there since 12 and i arrived at 2). So i shopped with Damia but ended up not buying anything except for this one beautiful ring while Damia bought three dresses. THREE I TELL YOU! And then it's time i go hang with the friends at Mid so Damia, Zuley and i parted. We ate, gosipped, and hang like there is no tomorrow. There were a few faces that i havent met since SPM results were out and that is a very very long time. It was nice to finally had the chance to catch up. A special thanks to Durra, Tariq, Dzahiriah, Khairun Nadiah, Fateen Aqeela, Athirah Hasanudin, Aimi Syafiqah, Farahim, Asma Zahari, Fatin Diana & Faez Haziq for making my day. We should really do this again sometime. Aimi and Asma slept over at my place, and being the usual Asma, she forced us to swim with her late that night. Thank God there was Aimi, Damia, Zuley, Zuley's friend iforgotwhatshisname, and Ainaa to layan her craziness. Then we ate late supper and gossiped through the night.

The next day, we went for karaoke! Been craving for this since the holidays and yeah you bet i was psyched. The ones who joined me was Damia, Zuley, Adilin and Farhan, the usual karaoke-crazy gang. We had tonsssss of fun. And that marks the end of my first weekend.

The second weekend was more hectic. Damia, Zuley, Adilin and i got ourselves a car since we had so many places in mind to go. On Friday there was this free concert thing at KLCC and a lot of people were inviting me but i didnt feel up to it so i passed. The real fun begins the day after, when i went to Petaling Jaya again for another shopping spree. This time, it's What The Fashion Flea Market. I scored an outfit while Damia didnt bought a thing (finally!). Our next stop was Low Yat, for i have been wishing to buy myself a harddisk and a pair of headphones since forever. Then we walked to Times Square and chilled our butts in Krispy Kreme. When it was about time for dinner, we made our way to Victoria Station. No, the decision to dine there was not because we had just won the lottery or something. Let's just say that we went there because someone won a bet, okay? The steak there was ohmyfuckinggoat super delicious. But the price too, was, ehem, delicious. After dinner, we head up to Bangsar and had a long conversation in Starbucks. Then we hopped again into the car, and Bukit Bintang is next (it's against my will!). I was half-asleep when we reached there so i wasnt in a very good mood. That night, I was even forced by the boys to do something i never thought in a million years i would do. Ugh i'm not even going to tell what it is because the girl who did that thing, is not the real me. Haha but we had a good laugh doing it though. The next day, we just went to Sunway for a movie and lunch.

And here goes the third weekend. Nothing much was done this weekend. On Saturday we had a girls-only day out at Sunway. It's been a while since we last did that, just us girls goofing around, without the boys interrupting. We basically spent the day by just hanging out and watching a movie. But not for one of us though, who were actually there to meet her boyfriend. The highlight of the day for me was when we ate Tutti Frutti. I was craving for those tasty frozen yogurts and it's yummy toppings and when i finally got to eat it, i was the queen of the world. That's just it for the day, and the rest of the weekend was spent by me being drowned in a drama filled with emotional problems. Wouldnt want that to happen again.

Now, that brings us to this weekend. The ultimate story that you have been waiting for (or have you?). I am about to reveal my most incredible weekend yet so far and may i remind you that you may be left with the feeling of annoyance once you read it.

Are you ready? Drumroll please......

I spent my weekend babysitting five little cousins of mine FTW!

Yes i didnt even go out this weekend. Not even for a movie. I was left babysitting and God knows how much it bores me. Of course, i love little kids (preferably the ones who had not yet learned how to talk since the ones who can really bugs me sometimes), but taking care of them is just not my field of expert. Once my cousin cried so bad last night and she started to roll on the floor and i didnt know what to do. I tried comforting her by compelling her with my sweet sweet voice but i guess it didnt worked out since she started to cry even louder. So i ended up deciding not to care and just let her be. She shut her mouth up after a little while though, probably frustrated that she didnt get the attention she was hoping for. Huh in your face! It was nice having to spend time with them since i havent really done that since Raya, sure, but babysitting was not the weekend i would picture for me to spent. Pffft.

So there goes my weekends stories. Haha annoyed yet? Sorry, it's just that i think it might be fun for me some day to be able to read this all over again and reminisce the past. And these four weekends are definitely the weekends i'd never like to forget.

This is just crap. You'll regret reading this

I know i havent been posting much lately, which is like so not me. Because the old me used to write a lot even though it was all just crap (just like this one). Well the truth is i have been busy with charity work. I've been driving here and there, sending out free food and giving my old clothes to the homeless. And just last week, i was chosen to give a talk on the topic "How To Be Awesome" to a bunch of cute lil 7 year old kids. Yeah basically i was busy doing pretty good deeds.

I'm starting to realize that i'm being hambar here so i should stop.

Nah. I'm still the same ol awesome college student who have been busy sleeping instead of studying and doing assignments. Betul, tak tipu. These days i sleep too much, i'm starting to think that i'm related to Snorlax.

I dont really know what i'm supposed to write now so forgive me for my endless blabbering. Life now is.. well, okay. The drama is thickening, of course, oh wait excuse me, the LOVE drama is thickening around me. Everywhere i go i hear love stories. Biasalah kan, being a girl and all, you're supposed to like these kind of stories. You're supposed to go all "Wahh macam mana date tadi? Going well?" And then when your friend started spilling all the details, you're supposed to be like "Awwh sweet gila. Jeles jeles. Luckynya ada boyfriend macam tu."

But you know what. I'm not really that person. I can fake all i want, but at the end of the day, i dont freaking care. Dont get me wrong, it's not anybody's fault. I know girls, biasalah bila in love memang macam tu.

The me in high school wouldnt even ask how a date went or did your boyfriend got you something for your birthday. The old me wouldnt even care and wouldnt even faking it that i care. Call me heartless and stuff, but i'm just cool that way yeah. Haha okay scratch that. Let's just say i have better things to think of. But as i grow older, i try to be more polite by actually trying to listen when a girlfriend of mine talks about her relationship. Because i know it's like in the goddang Guide Book to Being A Good Friend. Of course, it kinda bore me at some point but hey it's not that bad pun sebenarnya. Tapi kalau sampai everyday i would have to listen to your gooey gooey stuff with your partner memang nak kena tembak lah tu.

A lot of people are saying that i'm "lambat". Lambat as in like, for example, i dont really notice when someone shows affection towards me. And i dont really see what's the real agenda behind an action. You get what i mean? My friend would have to explain the situation to me and i'd go "Ohhh it's like that." So maybe i lack knowledge in this department. I tend to see things not like other girls do. Thus, the gelaran that have been given to me by my friends: Hati Lelaki. So guys out there, you have to do A LOT to make me fall for any of you, because sometimes, i just dont get it. Haha okay perasan please ada lelaki nak aku pffftt.

Why am i this way, i dont even know. Maybe a part of the reason is because i havent actually been in love before. Sure, there were guys in my life before, but when i think of it, i havent actually ever LOVED anyone. I cared deeply, maybe, but then my mind would go "Oh no this is so wrong i shouldnt have done this". Senang kata, i was easily scared. Sebab aku rasa buat apa masuk in a relationship when there's a possibility of you getting hurt, might as well just enjoy life just the way it is. Or maybe i just havent found the right person that i can trust enough to believe that he would never hurt me.

Okay this post is getting way too geli. So not cool man, so not cool. But heck who cares. Blame the people around me for being in love sangat. Semua nak bercinta bla bla yada yada. And then there i was, always the friend, never the girl. [insert music that clearly expresses my pathetic situation]

Tapi janganlah sampai just because i currently dont have anyone special in my life, you started calling me a lesbian. I dont freaking like girls okay. And just because i act cool like the guys, that doesnt mean i AM a guy. Sekali sekala joke boleh lah. Tapi banyak banyak kali, it's not even funny anymore.

IT'S EFFING OFFENSIVE.








Takpelah, maybe someday my prince charming will come. The one that can change the cold-hearted me to someone jiwang gila babi. Eww no lah. I dont want to be like that. But i'll be waiting. You out there, nanti datang you tak payah naik kuda putih tau, berkaki ayam bawak i makan mamak pun i tak kisah. Even better kalau you bawa i pergi pasar malam beli bontot ayam panggang. <3

p/s: Went to watch Limitless at Sunway today, only to find out that it's not airing there. Kecewa. Watched Scream 4 instead, going to review it later.

Review #3: Source Code


This movie tells you about the story of a soldier, Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal ftw) who wakes up in a body of an unknown man and finds out that he is actually a part of a government experiment called "Source Code" to find the bomber of a Chicago train.

Senang kata, cerita ni brilliant. For me personally, i favour brilliant movies like this because it got me thinking throughout the movie. Macam macam questions akan popped into your head. Siapa? Apa? How the hell? Mengapakah? Just like Inception (kalau belum tonton, baik tonton sekarang), it made me leave the cinema satisfied.

The casts juga boleh tahan. Gabungan Jake Gyllenhaal dan Michelle Monaghan telah memberi satu bonus feature untuk filem ni. And not to forget, Vera Farmiga yang turut memainkan watak dengan baik.

Tapi apa yang aku paling suka tentang filem ni, is the ending. Just when you thought that everything couldn't get any more complicated, and you're pretty sure that the movie's over, tiba tiba ada satu penemuan yang mengejutkan telah berlaku. Kebarangkalian untuk kau menjerit "Fuyohh" dalam hati itu sangat tinggi, because i know i did. Oh dan lagi satu, scene ketika Colter menelefon ayahnya setelah sekian lama. Like shit setan sungguh. Tak boleh nak sedih lagi ke. Aku hampir nangis tahu?

Dalam filem ni juga, ayat ni selalu kedengaran: "If you knew you have 1minute to live, what would you do?" ah lebih kurang begitulah ayatnya aku kurang pasti. Kali pertama, Colter menjawab "I'd call my dad". Nice one. Memang wajar lah kalau kita tahu kita cuma ada satu minit untuk hidup, kita pilih ibu bapa kita. Tanpa disedari, banyak sebenarnya dosa kita terhadap mereka ohmygod hanya Tuhan je yang tahu. That's why calling them and apologizing seems like a good idea. Tapi kalau ni filem Islam, mesti jawapan Colter would be "I'd repent and beg Allah's forgiveness". Haha ye dok?

But the weirdest thing is, kali kedua, Colter menjawab "I'd kiss you again" kepada Christina. What the whaat!? You're about to die and all you can think of is kissing a girl?

Gila. Gua dah kata dah bulan April ni bulan mengawan pfft.




Giving the movie 4.5/5 stars.

Bulan April bulan mengawan?

Tajuk di atas telah dipetik daripada status Facebook aku yang bertarikh 1/4/11 dan telah mendapat sambutan hangat dengan likes sebanyak 158 dan comments sebanyak 195. Okay tipu.

Sejak aku masuk balik college, aku perasan macam ada yang tak kena. Tibatiba semua dah nak bercinta. Yang dah berpasangan semakin bahagia, yang single dah mula crushing, yang gatal sibuk flirting. Roomate aku pulak wah kemain tau in love. Kalau phone tak berbunyi every 2minutes memang tak sah.

Ugh.

And last weekend boleh pulak aku hang out dengan dua couples yang sedang bahagia, and there was i, sitting alone macam orang paling patetik dalam dunia.

Ugh.

Bosan lah macam ni. I think i shall go boyfriend shopping this weekend. Siapa tahu di mana ada jual boyfriend murah on sale?

Review #2: ...Dalam Botol

Movie yang akan aku bebel selepas ni sebenarnya aku dah tengok lama dah dengan a friend of mine. Kira kira a week ago. But i havent really got the time to review the film, till now. So here goes.

Fyi, movie ni sangat istimewa kerana ia merupakan movie Malaysia (Melayu) pertama yang aku tonton di cinema setelah oh god knows how many years. Last aku tengok, belum baligh lagi kot. Bukan aku tak support industri perfileman Malaysia, but, aku rasa lebih berbaloi jika aku bayar RM14 untuk tonton movie yang benar benar menggunakan teknik CGI dengan baik, plot yang menarik and blabla. Kalau nak harap cerita hambar macam Hantu Kak Limah memang aku bom cinema tu nanti.

Ahah i bet the movie Merong Mahawangsa popped in your mind. Well guess what, you are.......

WRONG. Cerita ni sebenarnya:


This movie is about a gay couple, and how a partner ruined his life by transforming into a girl for the sake of love. We all know that gays are not accepted in the Malaysian society. Tapi sekuat mana kau nak ignore pun, gays do exists. Itu yang buat aku rasa tertarik nak tengok movie ni. Daring gila, and obviously, lain daripada yang lain.

So here goes....

Reasons why you'll like this movie:
1. You're gay. Mesti syok je tonton life story sendiri on screen.
2. Tema cerita lain daripada yang lain. Hey, how often do you see Malaysian directors make movies on gays? Balikbalik buat cerita hantu hambar ada lah
3. It'll make you realize that you should never change yourself hanya kerana cinta. Tak payah nak potong sana suntik sini tambah itu cucuk ini. Love is sincere.
4. You're a fan of Diana Danielle. Ada mamat dalam cinema tu asyik usha Diana je tak habis habis

Reasons why you'll hate this movie:
1. Kau tak suka slow-paced movies. Cerita ini bergerak dengan sangat perlahan, harap maklum. Please bring your patience along while watching.
2. Kau bukan seorang yang berfikiran terbuka. There are some scenes yang bila aku tengok dalam wayang aku terdengar jeritan bajet kawaii "Eee gelinye" "Apalah dorang ni ee" "Yucksss" Bitch, kalau you takleh terima tak perlu beli tiket in the first place la. Menyemak.
4. Movie ni sangat senyap. No background music. Possibility untuk tertidur sangat tinggi, macam lelaki yang duduk depan aku haritu. Ternganga nganga siap.
5. You're hoping to watch 18sx gay scenes. Jangan harap lah.
6. Kau tak suka Diana Danielle. Like me. Seriously, apa function dia dalam movie tu ughhh bosan
7. You're such a dumbass sampai tak nampak apa motif movie ini sebenarnya. No need to "Movie ni menggalakkan gay couples dalam masyarakat Malaysia" sangat lah kot.

As you can see, reasons on hate lebih banyak daripada reasons on love. But that doesnt mean i didnt enjoy the movie. Aku rasa boleh tahan lah. Bangga sikit Malaysian director berani approach such a sensitive issue macam ni. Giving the movie 3.5/5 stars.

Tapi sumpah scene Arja Lee dengan Diana Danielle bercinta bore me to death. Rasa macam nak assassinate semua orang dalam cinema just to occupy the time. Lagi satu, kau semua mungkin terasa geli bila tengok Arja Lee in a girl's outfit and all. Tapi bila dia bukak wig and jadi lelaki, fak dia hot padahal!

Next on the list: Source Code. (Jake Gyllenhaal ftw)
