JellyBeans, Coffee, Chocolate, and Peach

I miss them. Sometimes, I can't help it.

Yummy yummy jellybeans

Ngek ngek ngek....

I miss the Toffee Frappucino when Starbucks promote the Xmas version coffee drinks.

Not to mention, the three layer coffee that me, Evelyn, Phraveen, Anthony, and Yi Chyuan ordered during Evelyn's birthday at somewhere in a small kampung where got very the nice Tom Yam Yee Mien. Nice. Me likey. The best three layer coffee so far.

Yes, the Cadbury Bournville Dark Chocolate Bars and Peach sweets that I enjoy while reading CLEO magazine.

Speaking of chocolate. There is the chocolate fair on 8-10 January at MidValley Megamall (exhibition area). Going there after 12pm replacement lecture class. Can't wait to enjoy and buy the sweet and bitterness of the chocolates. Also, can hang out with Dian at MidValley. It's been a long time that we didn't hang out ever since we are busy with our assignments.

Post about the Chocolate Fair and lepaking session coming soon.

Cherish the Memories and Good Luck in Final Exams

Just the thought of writing something in my blog on this night.

Since like I got nothing to do, other than just looking through my notes.

Got the message that tomorrow got replacement lecture class.

Tomorrow is the last day at TARC for this semester.

I keep saying to myself like...wow...so fast...but then again it's time to move on. I mean I can't stay at the place forever.

I'm going to miss my collegemates, event friends, crazy friends, ACAD R friends, "family" etc. I look back at those crazy and wonderful times I had for the past 3 and a half years. The memories that I laugh and cry about. I'm gonna fly over to UK to continue my studies with coursemates and also meet up with a few friends over there at UK. Also, the Europe trip which I'm looking forward to it.

The thing is that...cherish the memories and moments that we had in our life.

My final exams is in 2 weeks time. To all of those I know, good luck in your exams. Gambateh!!! Let's strike together in the final exams. Also, take care of the health. Both mind and body.

Do not push to hard on yourself. Be yourself and everything will be fine. Stay positive.

No Electricity

Electricity really fulfill the needs. Like lets say heating up the water, need heater when showering, need fan on the hot day, need light when at night, even the most important thing.....computers to go online.

Just now, after the class, I came back home. Found out there's totally no electricity. I thought that other units in the apartment no electricity. So, I rest first and hopefully the electricity will come back.

But no, called the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) make a complaint. Till the evening, the technicians come saying that didn't pay bill. = =

Haihz, I just move in and only few days later, suddenly no electricity. Tomorrow, electricity will be back after passing up the money for the electricity bill.

Luckily, tomorrow going back to PJ for the weekends.

Today, staying over at my friend's place for one night only.

In house, there's the need for electricity, water, food, and gas.

Mesmerizing Sunset - Autumn's Concerto


I took this picture while I was resting during the evening after the notes that I read for the preparation for the final exam. Nice right? I love the sunset. Really beautiful and mesmerizing. If it's like at the beach, it's lagi romantic.

As I look at the sky, I think about all the things I've done previously. 21 years have just passed by throughout my whole life. Well, it is a new year and a new beginning as many people said. To me, I agree. New year, new challenges await.

I questioned myself on whether I have things done previously in the year 2009. Well, some I did and some I don't. Probably because of certain situations. Oh well, I already did fix my resolutions. Ya, it's similar to last year. I add in. All is based on my family, studies, myself, friends, and others. The resolution that some of us could think of.

One thing I learn is never regret when making a decision. The decision that is made can affect not only others but ourselves. Cherish our life every step we take through the stepping stones of life and also the stepping stones that reach to the next destination and so forth.

Do you guys still remember that my one and only idol that I admire so much? Yes, it's Van Ness Wu. Listen to the F4 songs. Watch the Meteor Garden. The only member that I like is him. Listen to his songs. Loving his hot, sexy muscular body. Admiring his dance moves. He is the man.

So far, I'm watching the drama called "Autumn's Concerto" or "Next Stop, Happiness".

Not only because of Van Ness, but also because I like the story concept. The moment I watch the first episode I keep on watching it like non-stop. The intimate scenes, the touching scenes that I shed a few tears, the fighting or quarreling scenes, the funny scenes, and many more. Also, the soundtracks are really nice. I can't give more comment on this because it came out recently which is last year October. The show is still ongoing and it's popular plus the ratings goes up week by week. He really change a lot. I mean seriously. Good job. Work really hard on this drama and make this a success especially with the casts and crews of this drama.

He even got sing Japanese songs already. Loving these songs.

From high school till now, I still like him and take him as my idol. Good in acting, singing, and dancing.

Love this drama. Love Van Ness.

Alvin and The Chipmunks 2

I not only fell in love with the Chipmunks but also I fell in love with the Chipettes. They went to high school. Got themselves in a rival competition.

I can say this is that....they are so cute and adorable. I keep on thinking that they are really really the cute.

I am loving their songs and they are addictive. Seriously.

The story concept is okay. The only thing that I like about this movie is just the songs and the cute chipmunks. I got a few songs in my phone. A lot of them which are really nice like "Hot n' Cold", "I Got Feeling", "All the Single Ladies", and many more. Go and listen to them.

Chipmunks and Chipettes fans. What are you waiting for? Go and watch those adorable chipmunks.

Sherlock Holmes

The whole movie talks about Sherlock Holmes uncovering the mystery of Blackwood and the magic society that they want to take over the world. As usual, saving the world from destruction.

Sherlock Holmes is so funny, make sense in his point of view, and hot. Pity Dr. Watson who gets himself into trouble because of Holmes. Dr. Watson is quite manly. Some scenes are quite funny especially the part where Sherlock Holmes was tricked when he was kissing the woman and turn up naked and been tied up on the bed. The cleaner lady got shocked when see him in this kind of situation.

Really need to have the full understanding of this movie as there are a lot of things to crack the mystery. Something like most of you all play detective and mystery PC games.

Well, looking forward for the next Sherlock Holmes movie. I hope it is a good one.

Princess and The Frog


At first I thought is like the fairy tale that we used to read when we were small kids. You know where the princess kiss the frog and then the frog turns to the prince.

For this one, it's the waitress who lives in New Orleans. Working hard to earn money to have her own restaurant to fulfill her dad's dream. Came in the Prince of Maldonia (pronunciation like that but not sure whether the spelling is right). The prince was under the spell by the voodoo man which is the prince turns to a frog. The frog thought that the waitress is the princess. Kiss the frog and she also turns into a frog. They go see voodoo lady to turn back...blah blah..in the end both fell in love. Get married. Kissed and they turn back to normal.

Overall movie has some nice jazzy soundtracks. The fireflies are so cute tim.

It is really a nice sweet movie yet a lil bit of romance. Something like a fairy tale that wish this kind of thing can happen in reality.

Avatar

For the first time ever, I saw the film burn during the middle of the movie. I saw this at TGV, KLCC. It took about 45 minutes to change the film before continuing the movie. The film burn where Neytiri fly the "bird" and Jake looks on. My friends and I thought got some kind of special effect as the film like blur a bit. Then, suddenly film burn with smoke come out. OMG.

Well, back to the point where I'm suppose to write a review about this film. This is a story about Jake being sent to the planet where the people. The bad guys wanna take the material because of the money. However, there's the Navi protecting the land especially their goddess, Eywa. Scientists and Jake himself communicate with the Navis by making themselves to Avatar based on the mind. Something kind of the linkage. Jake met up Neytiri, learn the Navis' way, fell in love and so forth including the part where he save them from the humans destroying the nature.

I give a total thumbs up to this movie. It gives us the understanding of the nature. Ya, do not destroy nature. These kind of scenes open our eyes and realise that never ever destroy the true nature in this world.

Another point is that understanding the Navis' culture. This shows that we try to understand each other and learn from different races, religion, and many others.

The overall movie based on the film effects is truly amazing. It's so real. James Cameron really made an awesome movie with the technology in this society. After the making of the Titanic, I would say that this is the most awesome movie ever. There is the 3D movie. I'm gonna buy the DVD. Guys, it is really a thumbs up movie.
