Relocation

The Heah residence is now at 75 Jalan...do you honestly expect me to reveal my address??

Well, I don't think so! (:

Anyway, I've moved again. And just so you know, this is the 6th time.

Currently leeching off my neighbour's wi-fi which btw, is called arash. Heehee.

Expect a proper post all about my new home when the phone lines come in which should be on Monday.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

The first incident happened at 12noon.

I was waiting to COD with the owner of le mode paradis outside college and as usual traffic was a bitch.

Because everybody still parks on the yellow line despite the samans they get, the girl had to stop in the middle of the road.

Yeah, that did bring the traffic to a standstill but in her defense, it was only for a while.

But as it always has been, Malaysian drivers are impatient and reckless. So zooooooooooom, the car behind cuts out onto the other lane and tries to overtake her car just as she starts to move and BOOOOM!

And there I was standing only a few feet away, thinking, "If I hadn't asked for a COD, none of this would've happened!"

So, who was the one to blame?

The impatient driver? The careless driver? Or maybe, me?

As for the second incident, no one knows when it happened except the bastards who did it.

HELP has a major parking problem. So when there's no where to park or even to double-park, you park at the housing area.

Parking in the housing area is pretty much a norm to us and it's pretty safe. No chance of getting saman-ed over here and you only risk pissing the residents off and they'll stick notes reading, "PLEASE DON'T PARK HERE" on your windscreen.

But today, someone went and smashed the front windscreen of my friend's car. Their motive; unknown because they didn't take anything except her empty glasses case.

I mean seriously, you go through all the trouble to smash someone's windscreen and all you take is an empty glasses case? Pfft.

I’m Going Kame Hame Ha with Dragonball Evolution

It was only a matter of time before someone would get the brilliant idea of transforming possibly one of the most famous anime of all time, Dragonball into a movie.

And the time is now. (:

Arriving in our Malaysian cinemas on the 12th of March, Nuffnang is giving their Nuffnangers a chance to catch the movie earlier ie on the 10th of March!

Of course, nothing good ever comes free in this world so here's my post to secure myself invites to the Premiere Screening of Dragonball Evolution. (:

I IS GOKU!

After doing the 'matrix' and evading the EVIL PICCOLO'S (Debra Fong) laser shot, GOKU retaliates with a punch!

EAT MY FIST DEBRA PICCOLO!

Now, time to stop playing around and finish PICCOLO off with a super-duper-ultra-mega Kame Hame Ha!

And it's TOTAL ANNIHILATION!

I absolutely cannot wait to watch GOKU kick some PICCOLO butt in the movie. (:

Punisher: War Zone

Thanks to Nuffnang, I managed to catch the preview of the Punisher: War Zone.

I've seen my share of violent films and the Punisher: War Zone is definitely one of them. Even with the censoring, the scenes remained filled with flesh-slicing, kidney-ripping, head-exploding violence.

There's minimal plot, minimal character development and nothing much else to stand in the way of pure unadulterated violence action.

Not gonna write a detailed review since the movie hasn't been released yet (it'll be out on the 19th of Feb).

Rated 5/10 by yours truly.

Pink Panther 2

When I watched The Pink Panther, I found it unbelievable that we were expected to find such a sorry string of dumb puns, infantile farts, awful accents and endless pratfalls funny.

And so against my better judgement, I sat through its sequel last night.

This film follows Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Martin) as he’s brought in to lead the 'Dream Team' where a top-notch investigation is carried out involving the theft of priceless artifacts, including the legendary Pink Panther diamond. Of course, he botches much of the investigation and puts himself, his team and the diamond in great peril. But it’s funny... at least at times it is.

If you thought “The Pink Panther” was awesome, you will probably enjoy this one too.

If you thought the first film was funny but not awesome, you still might get a kick out of this one.

If the first was barely watchable to you, you’ll want to run screaming from the theater on this one.

Rated 4/10 by yours truly.

Timetable

The fact that my timetable for my third semester is out gives me mixed emotions.

Of course, the first thought that comes to mind is that come next week, it'll be college life all over again.

And then there's the fact that it's my final semester. Only four months left to go before it's goodbye HELP, hello LSE (wishful thinking).

Time really flies. And now it seems to be flying faster and faster as the years go by...

Anywaaaaaaaaay, I freaking love my timetable!

Monday
Physics Practical (10-12)
Further Maths (12-2)
Economics (2-4)

Tuesday

Thursday

And that's a total of only one 8 o' clock class! Not to mention it's Econs so class is bound to start late anyway!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! (:

Hana Yori Dango

It took me 2 days and 2 nights but now I can finally say, "I've watched Hana Yori Dango."

And you know what?

I loved it.

It made me smile, it made me laugh. Sometimes, it made me feel like smacking myself in the head. But above all that, it made me cry (heck, I think I cried everytime Makino did).

Everytime I watch a drama like this, this meaning some love story where the couple goes against all odds to reach their happily ever after, I find myself thinking, "That never happens in real life."

As Makino constantly shouts in the show, "Arienai ttsu-no!" (translation: Impossible!).

Nevertheless, I still can't get enough of it. (:

Bring on the sappy romantic dramas that we all love!

Boys over flowers? Definitely. (:

Slumdog Millionaire

The film opens with 18-year-old Jamal being one question away from becoming the biggest winner ever on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

No one can believe Jamal has gotten this far. After all, he's just an slumdog.

"How did he do it: a) He cheated; b) He's lucky; c) He's a genius; d) It is written."

The show's host, Prem calls in the cops who interrogate Jamal and what happens next is a series of flashbacks on Jamal's childhood which hold the answers to the very questions asked on the show.

So, we follow Jamal and his brother, Salim from their mother's death in a Hindu-Muslim riot through the years they spend simply trying to survive. We meet the lovely Latika, Jamal's love interest and the ruthless Maman who rounds up orphans and transforms them (more like deforms them) into child beggars.

At each stage Jamal learns something new — a song, a bit of history, or the pose of a Hindu statue — that later provides the answers he needs.

And then we realize, his education is in fact the slums themselves.

Slumdog Millionaire captures the harsh life of reality - the shantytowns, the mountains of garbage, the commerce of child prostitution and enforced begging. The overwhelming images takes audiences to the poorest sections of India and shows a level of poverty and human misery that's almost beyond imagination.

Rated 7.5/10 by yours truly.

If you haven't watched it yet, Slumdog Millionaire is set to be released in cinemas on the 12th of Feb.

Holiday Mode: ON

Holidays are, without a doubt, my favourite time of the year.

Because I can sleep in late, stay out late and do whatever I want.

This is the life. (:

Blogging shall properly resume once I've completed everything on my To-Do-List.
