I am not a sucker for romantic soppy love story but theres just been way too much news on this movie till I just can't wait to watch it! Oh My Gawd...!!!! I've been waiting for the torrent download to complete since last weekend, it finally did some time yesterday (Monday). I stayed up till 1am tonight to watch... It has been years since I last felt so touched (watching a movie) till tears unexpectedly came streaming down my cheeks.... and it has been years! This almost never happened to me. I repeat NEVER. Someone told me that I am a guy that somewhat incapable of producing tears!?

I read some where saying that people are caling this movie as a landmark movie. I cannot agree more! Who ever wrote the screenplay/script is a pure genius it really goes deep. Little short script but the chemistry and subtle gestures (worth more than a thousand words) is simply outstanding, guys don't talk as much as girls I suppose, or some guys that is. It will touch your every inner feelings, everyone said that the script is a jem. Ang Lee has captured the spirit of it all... an endearing love story.

Please do yourself a favour and get this movie and watch it alone or with someone special... without intteruptions. I don't really think its good to watch with friends because I felt that this movie is way too personal... I think the best is to watch alone. Turn down the lights and watch it alone. You will treat your love ones better after watching this movie... and count ur lucky stars that u still have someone to love. Oh yeah, keep a box of kleenex handy just in case...

Since it will not be screened in our local theatres, the only source left is either download from torrent(like me) or go to your friendly 'pasar malam' pirate stalls and get the DVD, it is now available...

I think I will watch it again after processing the whole movie in my brain... plus getting over of the heartache... Damn my nose is still blocked! Still this is a fantastic release from the troubles that have been haunting me...

Verdict = 4.5/5

It feels like all 4 walls around me are squeezing every ounce of air from my lungs slowly. It is suffocating me. I need a break of it all.

Hence the long pause from blogging...

Some bastards broke into my car and stole my CD player. They took the air-cond controls with them. Now the front passenger side window is broken, the whole centre console is missing together with my CD player. I cannot believe my eyes looking at my car in such state... I felt as if they've just ripped my heart out and stomp all over. Sigh... :-(

It all happenned accross the road from the True Fitness gym, Desa Sri Hartamas. It was late... around 11.30pm. I went to the gym late that night. The next day I sent my car to a Honda service center near my house, and they say it will cost around RM4000-RM5000 to get it all done! Sigh... made some calls to the insurance company to claim, first I will have to pay it all in order to speed up the process. I hope that my car will be ready before the Chinese New Years, though it seems that it will be unlikely.

On top of that, it's confirmed that the bank I am working with is going to outsourced the whole IT department. And I am involved in that mess too... again, sigh... I felt as if my whole world has cave in on me...

I am still trying to pull myself together for this dark episode of my life. Felling quite better now hence the entry. I've decided not to sit back and worry of it all. I am going to take action, be prepared, be pro-active and getting ready for the worst. While hoping for the best...

Watched the movie last night. The theatre was still a full house! I think quite a handful chinese guys/gals too!

Ok, lets start with the bad.. its basically a comedy which is good but still sometimes I am bored out of my skull waiting for the funny bits... maybe they just were too serious at some point. But then again, perhaps I was just too tired yesterday. Still its not fair to expect a comedy to be funny all the way... though possible, maybe the director of this movie wanted to tackle some serious issues as well.

The good, well... 90% of the movie was good. Very very funny,... Some memorable funny bits are :
1. hans issac talking to his bookie over the phone, saying that the kelantan speaking guy had 'sabo' (short for sabotage) him and the bookie replied saying, "Sabo gapo? Sabo? Sabo mandi?" that was really funny...

2. when ida nerina was touching awie's biceps.. she acted as if she want some muscles on herself... very lezzy vibes here but still very funny!

3. when awie the muscle guy talks in riddles & rhymes and being a romantic novel addict... now this is so gay... very very funny!

This movie is good fun! I really recommend u guys to go check it out! Its a good stress-buster. So many funny and suggestive subtext. This is not only the practical jokes kinda funny... there's more than meets the eye... You can totally sense the chemistry between the cast. Do watch in the theatres, worth every penny to me.

Verdict = 4/5

Of all the things my parents forced me on doing, attending weddings is the one I hate the most! Sigh.. Why are we always forced to attend such ceremonies? I had to put on a fake smile until my cheeks turned black and blue of cramps!

There I was right smack in the middle of Kampung Baru. Parking is an absolute nightmare! The house is boxed-in by the main road, Safuan Plaza, a market, a mosque and some other buildings. I know the piece of land is worth millions, but how could he be living there still? Felt seriously claustrophobic! Since I am there by force, I simply know what I should do. Had my forced fake smile on and went on greeting all of the aunts and uncles while answering that old rotten aweful question, "How is everything?" A very heartless and sweepingly generic insincere question. Should I sit them down and gave them a detailed rundown of my personal and professional life? Nope.. I am actually pretty good at this now. I simply said "Everything is good!" not forgetting my fake smile thrown-in for good measure. Hehehe..

The wedding of my dad's cousin's daughter I suppose. I don't even know who she is! I'm just guessing because I saw the bride came out of the house before the couple's sickening slow-mo parade while some mad teenagers banging their life's frustrations out on to those damned 'kompangs'!

I've seen her father once or twice at my parents though. I should count my lucky stars really, because it could have been worse if I came along with my parents. They will automatically start introducing me to every single soul they come across. As if I'm some vintage avant-garde haute couture piece or something...?

I purposely came late.. fashionably!? Is it? Nah.. just simply late. Hehehe... I sat with my sis, her hubby and kids. Far far away from those annoying aunts and uncles. After eating the Nasi Minyak and some oranges, I told my sis that we've done our 30mins cameo and its time to go. The usual of every weddings, they gave out some useless dust-collecting tacky trinkets, this time its in the shape of a plastic swan filled with a boiled quail egg. What on earth should I do with this little swan? Sigh..

Don't you just hate attending weddings!?
