this the season to watch movies...

summer time...this is the season to watch movies....simply because there are many movies to watch...haha!! here's a personal reviews of the movies that i've watched recently...

POISEDON

didnt wanna watch this movie actually...but then felt like watching a movie one saturday...and becauase promised to watch da vinci with another friend..and x-men was not out yet...so i settled with this:



mmm...this movie didnt get very good reviews but somehow, it managed to kick MI3 off the top spot in Singapore...personally, i thought this movie was quite exciting..although i must admit...there's NO storyline to this show...haha! basically it's a bunch of people who decided to save themselves when the ship sank and ultimately, they managed to do it....but i thought there were some moments which set me thinking about certain things...about sacrifices that had to be made to save the whole situation...about teamwork...about the emotional side of humans i guess...anyway, the main lead is an eye-candy:


couldnt stop myself from telling my friend that he's handsome and my friend sort of got irritated...think he's jealous..hahaha!

Mission Impossible 3

how can i miss this show?? been wanting to watch this ever since i saw the trailer...because it has TOM CRUISE... anyway, because DHL decided to advertise on my company's TV..every day...i could hear the theme song at the background of all the keyboard's typing...*laughs*



personally, i dont really like this sequel...although many reviews say that this sequel shows the emotional part of being a secret agent and all...well, this is the part which i thought made the movie boring... although the close-up scenes are of Tom..but somehow, i'm more interested in him jumping off building, dodging bullets, driving dangerously... how can anyone say that tom is not sexy??? *shakes head*



however the concept of a bomb being inserted in the brain via the nose was scary...and i dont understand how does electrocuting oneself can save oneself...and if anyone realized...and funnily, i thought Tom only got weirder after he and nicole split...by the way..the female lead looked kinda like katie holmes? hahaha! see:



X-MEN 3: The Last Stand



another must-watch for me...and i get to watch it free...*laughs* an old friend had free tickets and he remembered me...so sweet right? well, i thought the whole show was rather unfocused..everyone was just everywhere...everyone had only like small parts to act in and it seemed very haphazard...except for the eye-candy of course....hahaha!



he's bacially the hero..the main character...the one who said the most did the most and moved the most....cyclops died within 5 minutes after the show..either the actor doesnt want to act anymore or the director doesnt have enough money...same goes to rouge...she didnt do much...but she did show the other side of being a mutant...then there's jean..who did nothing but stand and stare...hahaha! and that magneto is so so so so dramatic..to get to the prison island..he could have just taken a ferry..why must he move the whole of SF bridge? hahahaha! and there were many unanswered questions to this movie...and i'm 500% sure that there's an x-men 4.... firemen and icemen are pretty cool dudes...the rest, i dont even know who they are...sighz...

The Da Vinci Code

the very hyped-up movie of the year...everyone is talking about it...every other channels are showing documentaries about the fact and fiction of da vinci code...which i dont really understand why..it's a FICTIONAL book based on some true places and history...and the author actually fabricated a story around it...so why is everyone getting so uptight about it??

actually i was rather disappointed when i know that tom hanks is going to be the lead..because i've read the book and i thought robert is someone very charming and i sort of like pictured someone like...mmm...say..george clooney? hahahaha! anyway, it seemed that this movie didnt get very good reviews...but somehow, it's not that bad....although i thought it has a rather anti-climax ending...i thought the climax was built up rather well..and then suddenly it just died off with the police arriving and arresting teabing...which was rather abrupt...although i've read the book..but somehow, i couldnt remember...so am going to re-read the book and maybe i could get another insight to the whole idea about jesus having descendants...hahahaha! but i must say...this show made me wanna go France...*laughs*

i've watched all the movies that i wanted to watch for now...waiting in anticipation for this:

in pain..*ouch*

i'm in pain...it's so damn freaking painful....never had i felt so much pain before...i had no idea why and how it happened... i had no idea why it's happening to me when i did nothing wrong...and this is NOT the first time....haha!

for no bloody reason..i woke up this morning feeling a very sharp pain in my left thigh..it was so painful that i could feel the pain spreading to my knees..i was not able to bend my leg AT ALL...i was not even able to bend my body forward without feeling an excruciating pain spreading through my left leg...had a hard time bathing, had a hard time changing...it was so so so so so so so so fucking painful that i was not able to sit down, stand up, sleep or do whatever shit....every step i move..i feel like as if my whole leg is being twisted by some crocodiles...

so in the morning, i had to crawl...and when i said crawl..i really crawled...not on all fours of course...all the way to the doctor's...normally it would only take 5 minutes to walk from my house to the doctor's...i took ahout 20 minutes today...had to cringe at every step i take...my mum had to walk and stop every other second in order to be on the same pace as me...*laughs* at the doctor's...after some examining and all...the doctor said i must have twisted my vein and there's no inflamation as there's no swelling and all.. and so he prescribed 3 types of painkillers for me...which i felt much much better after taking them....

while i was crawling to and fro...many people walked past and gave me that weird look...hahaha...some were really kind and they actually stopped to ask if i'm alright...one of them was this indian lady...she started talking to me in her language..and all i could say was.." thanks " ...wonder which part of me looks like an indian to her....*laughs* some old ladies gave many suggestions...some asked me to go see a chinese sinseh...some asked me to rub some oil on my legs...some told me i would be fine and dont worry...actually i dont think i looked worried..maybe my painful look was misleading...hahaha!

i actually had plans to watch da vinci code tonight...but got to cancel it....made plans to meet up with friends tomorrow for dinner and MOS...think got to cancel it...all my plans are ruined and i'm in such excruciating pain that i could really cry...

golf or dive?

i think almost everyone who knows me knows that i'm in love with diving and diving is my new love....i'm all prepared to invest in this sports...i actually plan to buy the gears and go for frequent trips...am actually planning for a leisure trip end of June...*grins*

BUT......

my dearest mother told me to take up GOLF instead of DIVING!! *sighz* the reasons being that she felt that diving is something which is not very common (duhz, EVERYONE i know is diving..okay, almost everyone) and that it's not useful...also, diving to her is an adventurous sport and i'm not adventurous enough (duhz again..diving is a leisure sports.no need to go down to 100m to enjoy it!)...and that if i were to take up golf, i could play golf with my family next time but i wont be diving with my family (what makes her think my hubby is not a diver? *laughs* i think i will have a hubby who dives and golfs!!)...so she said she would rather me invest in golf than diving...i have to salute my mum for giving such innovative reasons...so i'm assuming that she's just giving me opinions and not forbidding me to go diving!!!! *pray hard hard that she's not objecting*

actually, i did think of taking up golf and a dear friend actually had some lobang for golf lessons..it's about 400 plus if i didnt remember wrongly...then i asked my uncle if i should take up golf and he asked me.." why do you want to take up golf? " mmm...good question...why? because it's fun? because i dont know...hahahaha..basically, i thought it was fun...then my uncle said..." dont take up golf simply because you thought it's fun..say you finished your lessons..what's going to happen? you going to continue to play? or that's it?? " mmm...quite true..i have no $$$ to buy clubs - country clubs and golf clubs...i only wanted to learnt because i thought it's fun and can get to know rich kids...*laughs* and i thought quite stylo to be able to hit a small ball with a long stick and see how far the little ball flies...anyway, was not able to find people interested to learn together...

as for diving...actually, i'm not very sure if i will be that keen about the sport after 6 months...*laughs* knowing myself..i'm lazy and all...it's a huge investment to be made..but i really did enjoy myself during my last trip and it's rather addictive...besides, i get to know many beach bums and surfers dudes too...i likeeeeeeee *yay* in fact, my diving buddy is very keen about it and i have made some really nice friends...although i have no idea why princess mel sort of refused to dive with us...*laughs* she learnt it last year when we agreed to do it together..she didnt ask us this year when she's planning her trip...and we asked her to join us for advance she said she promised to wait for her friend...BUT she also promised to wait for us and she still went without us for the basic...anyway i've digressed...*laughs* but i think i'm more of a water person than a ball person...i never like to play with balls...although i dont mind some balls...hahahahahahaha!

SIGHZ.....

which is more suitable for me????

or

maybe i should just do this..*laughs*

boo hoo! i have no life!

another long weekend...and what did i do?? NOTHING!!! *cries* i have no life sia...this is terrible...horrible...it's a catastrophe!!!

THURSDAY NIGHT...went MOS with cousin and friends...



it was soooooooooooooooooooo boring...maybe i'm getting older..maybe i'm just sick of the place (but have only been there 3 times..hahaha!)...maybe it's the people i was with..maybe it's the music...i had free drinks...my cousin and friends ordered bottles and jugs..but i was not in the mood to drink...the music sucks because they were in the retro room...i hate the retro room..the music was so darn horrible...but because i guess they were older folks, house and hip hop is not their cup of tea...hahahahaha! no eye candies...nothing interesting happened..in fact i fell asleep in one of those retro chairs...*laughs*

FRIDAY...spent it sleeping...almost the whole day...



woke up at 2pm...had noodles for lunch..walked around..and went back to sleep at 5pm...can anyone believe that??? woke up at 7pm...had noodles for dinner again...hahahaha! no wonder i'm always fat....but luckily, a varsity friend called me up and we went out for a drink...it's been a loooooooong time since we last met up...a good chat over a pint of hoegarden..makes me sleepy at 1am again...and so to the bed i went...

SATURDAY... fetched my granny to her friend's house....did nothing again...and i slept at 10pm..it's freaking early if you asked me...this is so unhappening..it's a weekend...and i spent it sleeping...oh my god...i really have to get a life....*sob sob*



SUNDAY... woke up pretty early...10am...decided to go for a swim..and then suddenly it poured...but i did manage to swim a few laps...*grins* at least i did something...going to granny's house later...another boring day...and before i knew it..the long weekend is over....

i need to get a life!!!!!!!! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

the number - 0353

take a look at this!!!!



hahaha! before you people start guessing...nope, i didnt strike lottery again!! but if you look closely at this number..it's just a permutation of the previous winning number...the winning number is 3035 and this number is 0353!!! and the most amazing thing is not the permutation of this....

i had a dream...in that dream..i was in my granny's house in malaysia...and then i saw her coming from behind..beaming with joy...and so being curious, i went up to her and asked in hokkien: " ah ma, why are you so happy? " and then she told me in hokkien: " oh because all my grandchildren are here in the house with me.. " and then suddenly she told me a number: 3037...i was puzzled..and so i asked her.." huh? what is this number? " and then in hokkien she replied me :" tiao(4) li(4) tiao(4) li(4) " if you are a hokkien or a 4-D fanatic..you would know what this mean...basically, it means that there are permutation to a certain number... and just as sudden as my dream started...it ended...

i was not very sure what was this dream about...and so i told my parents about it...and then they were asking if i'm certain about the number..and i gave a negative answer..but was very very positive that my granny said there's permutation...anyway, i couldnt make out whatever that dream meant and so i didnt buy any 4D but my parents went to buy 3037..and it's a wrong number...hahahahahaha!

well...the 4D results on saturday showed me what the dreamt mean...the number did "jump" twice...maybe it's pure coincidence...or maybe it's really my granny's showering her blessings on us...now my whole family is asking me to sleep as much as i could to dream about my granny again...*laughs*

i'm in love....

finally, i have found love...the one true love of my life...at this moment that is...*laughs* a long weekend just passed and i must say it is one of the best weekends i ever had because i had found my love...my one true love...my one true love is fun, interesting, addictive and healthy...my one true love is expensive too...but what to do...good things dont come cheap...anyway, this is where i spent my weekend:

pulau aur's view of the sea...

very beautiful scene right? it's good to escape into the embrace of mother's nature..to be back in the arms of trees, the kisses of the sea breeze and the cool touch of the sea...but to get to such a paradise...one had to travel by bus for about 3 hours from singapore to mersing..then by boat for 4 hours from mersing to aur...it's a tiring journey...especially, when you have to be woken up in the middle of your sleep to get down the bus, get up the boat and with all the luggage and bags....*argh* treacherous!! and the stupid air-con is so blardy cold and the seats are not comfortable at all...

anyway, pulau aur is a very simple island...with only a dining area and some individual houses as rooms...very simple but yet sufficient...my room was one of the best...spacious with a quiet air-con..my neightbors were complaining that their air-cons were so noisy that they couldnt sleep well..but mine was as quiet as a whatever...hahahahaha! although simple, but we do have an attached bathroom that seemed to attract dragonflies...but anyhow, it's good enough for me....*smilez*

so what did i do on this little island....i DIVED... *smilez*

that's me on the left and jill on the right

it's so so so so so so so freaking fun..i enjoyed every single dive that i had...in total i had 8 dives...and each of them were so amazing...we went as shallow as 10m and as deep as 22m...saw many beautiful corals, fishes, and marine life..it's simply wonderful and amazing...to breathe underwater and to be so close to the fishes and all...and here are some of the animals that i saw:

a bigger version of the angelfish...haha!

i found nemo..in fact i found nemos...*laughs*

this is one of the famous fish..forgotten the name..but look like luohan fish to me...bigger version.

think this is the rainbow fish..quite obvious right? haha!

one of my favorite..turtle...it's so amazing to be so near to one in the middle of the blue ocean...

blue-spotted sting-ray...was swimming just right under me...cool right???

other than animals, there were many beautiful corals, starfishes, sea cucumbers, funny round things...it's simply so beautiful...although most of the time, am trying to keep myself neutrally buoyant!! at times, i'm sinking..at times, i'm floating...i cannot keep still and have to keep finning to keep myself at the correct position..need to improve on this...

the people i went with are fabalous...we were like an international group..there were 12 of us...4 singaporeans, 1 malaysian, 2 turkish, 2 germans, 1 americans and 2 british...although we didnt seem to get along initially..but ultimately, we were really cool and enjoyed each other companies...although no cute guys..the guys are mostly uncles..but very happening uncles...hahahahaha!

one of them is actually a father of 2 and he not only dives but sky-dive..how cool is that..another is a 38-year old single uncle with many dramatic stories to share with us and he's also my alarm clock...the germans girls are pretty and have a cute laughter..the american guy was really adventurous...the turkish couple was cool and friendly... my diving instructor and his girlfriend are the british and they looked good together...underwater, the uncles took really good care of us...because we always lose our instructor...hahaha! above water, we had nice little chats about anything under the sun...but again, i'm the butt of the joke...forever the main "item" to be teased and disturbed...hahahaha!

not only do i dived...i even went trekking...we walked upwards and reached some nice place with nice sceneary:

we look really small because the camera was far *laughs*

actually, the trek upwards was quite duhz...because we saw nothing but heaps of cow dung after cow dung..most of them are dry..only some were fresh...then we were wondering...if there's cow dungs..where's the cows? hahahaha! and if we ever see a cow...are we supposed run? what if it's abull and i'm wearing red!! hahahaha! but thank god, we only saw the dung and trees and leaves and coconuts..nothing much..but a breath-taking scnenary is our results after climbing, walking and cut by plants...

all in all..i have truly enjoyed myself...everything has been so perfect...and diving is indeed addictive..the moment i reach singapore...i want to dive again...since i'm in love with this sport...am going to invest in my own gear..hahahaha! and guess what, most of my friends are actually divers..they are either seasoned or new...this is so so so so so so exciting!!! and guess what, jill and i are planning to go in June again!! *yay*
