Movie: Green Zone

Watched Green Zone yesterday.

It was AMAZING! The SUSPENSEEE!! It's kinda like the Bourne Trilogy and Snipper that kinda movie, the drum rolls got my eyes peeled. It's a MUST WATCH!

Spoiler:

In the movie, the US lied about Iraq having real WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) just to start war and change the political leaders of Iraq for their own benefit (which we all know its because of the oil). Miller (Matt D) was this chief soldier guy who suspected something fishy. And I guess was kind of a softy too, so, he tried to investigate with the help of  Martin (CIA guy) and an Iraqi guy, Freddy (Poor Freddy). Then Then.. all was revealed in the end of the movie by Miller!!! The asshole high ranking guy, who was so obviously hiding something from the start cos of his stupid stubourn cocky face (sorry, cant help it, he was so unreasonable and cocky in the movie) wasn't really pleased in the end because things didn't really turn out the way he wanted things to :p (Eventhough Al Rawi was shot in the end oops =x)

Thoughts:

Sigh, what's becoming of the world today? Where is the love? People being greedy, wanting so much more than they can handle that they would even hurt other fellow human beings for it. When all other people want is peace, freedom and fair treatment. Breaks my heart.

Shouldn't we start looking and changing the man in the mirror?

Tiny news flash

Grar! Just read Kennysia.com 's post about this scam!

"Detained-at-Immigration" Scam to be exact! Just wanna share this case with you guys and girls out there.

The poor friend. Such a kind heart being taken advantage of like that.

What's becoming of this world?! T.T

HAPPY 21 to my BFFEEEEE! ♥

Someone very special is 21 today (09 March). I say it's today cos she's in NZ, and it's already like 3am there. Anyway, Imma wish my BEST FRIEND FOREVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER

 

A

VERY VERY HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! 

 The cake is specially edited for ya! :D

I think I wrote something like this a few years back, but, Imma re-write all the ventures I can remember that I have had with this best bud of mine!

It all started in the middle of 2002, when we were 14. I moved back to Kuching from Miri and was allocated in SMK Batu Lintang. I was sooo new to the school and everyone there. I was put into Class 2A. And the only person I can recognize in that class from primary school was Lim Shin Jing. She was a genius I tell you. She got position number 1 throughout Primary school! Dang.

However, she wasn't the first person to talk to me. Instead, this group of people around me consisting of L Huan Xian, Sharon T, D Shi Hui and Hui Ping were the first people to go, "HELLO! Where you from..." and stuff. Vaguely remember everything they said now but I remember they were one crazy bunch. 

The first time I heard the word "condom" was a few weeks after I knew them wtf. They had this stack of coins wrapped up in a piece of paper. One of them asked, "what's that?!". 

The other went, "CONDOM!"

And everyone laughed. Like wtf, but that was funny at that time.

And I, who barely knew the meaning of the word then, followed in and chuckled a bit then asked, "what is condom?"

And they all laughed again. But they didn't really explain it. But the way they said the word did show that it has something to do with something "yellow/dirty". Till now though, I don't think they really totally knew the meaning of the word at that time.

ANway, yeah.. I'm not anywhere near anything to do with Sharon yet am I? >_<.

Well, what I'm trying to say is, I knew her from this crazy bunch of innocent but curious and naughty little friends, and therefore, she is too, rather crazy. Haha. But loads of fun!

Got closer to her as we went through Form 3 together. We kinda grew up together, slowly learned about our teenage life together. The great thing is, she was so totally understanding and easy to talk to. I mean, I can talk to her about anything and she is great at listening and responding. I remember once in Form3, we skipped class to lepak to the toilet, and we sat near the toilet there and discussed something about a crush I had then, and I kinda said, "damn, you are so understanding! If only you were a boy! I would so be your girlfriend." hahaha... and before we knew it, we became really good friends.

And that was the year, when we entered a pub for the first time, together with Jasmine. The pub, was, Grappa. Lol. That was like a hot spot for young adults then, even met Kenneth L there! >_<.

Then Form 4 came, and I took a different direction, I moved to SMK Green Road (long story, nothing bad la).She was still my very good buddy eventhough I had new girlies from Green Road. We often invited each other out, she was there for my birthday with my boyfriend at that time, we went to Rain Forest Music Festival together with my dad, it was hell loads of fun! 

 

RainforestWorldMusicFestival 2005

and we also went clubbing on Christmas eve at Travillion in City Jungle I think. Haha. Things we do when we were kids.

Form 5, SPM year, she accompanied me to the State library quite often with Steph, Eric, Adrian, Aaron and Malcolm (All different groups). The State Library was like our second home. Usually after studying till like 9pm, we would go for supper somewhere and the one most memorable to me, Sharon, was Jalan Song, with Malcolm, my friend in blue Kelisa picked us cos we were so dead stuck accross river ahhahaa~~ oh, and also that time we were walking on both sides of Malcolm really scared cos it was really dark outside the state library, and heard lotsa unpleasant stories before that (neh, the murdering outside state library), and constantly whinning at Malc or something. haha. Oh, we were walking back from KGS then, I still remember your dad's account number man! T3... HAhaha..

One of those library days, we hung out at Kuching Fest, then walked or squeezed in a car to Scoops or something :D Sharon, you were SOO very slim and hot then!!!  But of course you are still hot now! just less slim >_<.

After Form 5, We went to our first prom!!! It was so cool, we shopped like crazy for our prom dresses with Emily, Joy and Nat, found our dresses at Crown Square. We searched for dates. Haha, 

I had Calvin and you as my arm candy :P We did our makeup at Kose, did our hair at the Saloon beside it, and stunned all them male species (okay exagerating, but it was so fun mah) Danced the night away with everyone, BLs, Greenians, Lodgians, and guest host Kenny Sia also. Lol.

 

sigh, you always had more style than me T.T looks so lala here haha

But not long after that, she went to New Zealand. :(((( Sadness grar.We were in like a long distance relationship, she would call me once in a while, and I as a "great friend" never really had the time to call her because I'm like always out. I'm sooo SORRy Sharon! :( Really guilty. And also for not being home when you call most of the time, I'm seriously ALWAYS not at home since I could drive >_<. I know you always expect me to be there when you phone. :\

But, despite the reduction in our communication, we were still really close, when I'm in desperate emotional problems, I would call her and we would talk for a very very long time. I mean she's thousands of miles away but it's like she can be here anytime I need her. 

And every year when she came back to Kuching for Chinese New Year, it is always a MUST to visit her house, eat her cookies and hang out till late. OH YAA!!! First time baking cookies was with her too! What an incredibly fun thing to do! lol. such adventure can be found in simple baking of butter cookies >_<.

Chinese New Year 2009

Till now, besides learning dirty stuff from friends in juniour high, visiting our first clubs together when we were still minors, calling each other to express our problems, baking, going to prom, studying hard for SPM together, we also went on a fantastic holiday to KL together, 

2007, in a cable car, Genting Highlands, KL

share all sortsa knowledge on makeup stuff, liquor, guys, ESPECIALLY GUYS, Life, love, phillosophy, health and so much more.

Without her, I would be such a different person. maybe less accessorized? Less out going? Less knowledgeable in so many ways?

2008, Mojo.

Theres so much more to say to ya Sharon, but I can't really think of anymore now. Haha.. (Because it's so late now and I've spent hours typing this post lol.) But everything above, I realised I wanted to say in a direct-to-you-way later, but most of it is typed out in a different point of view already so nevermind lah, Atleast we remember all the crazy and fun stuff of the past ehy? hehe...

I just really want to thank God for this amazing friend of mine. Thank God for creating such a fine individual. For giving me someone close to turn to when everyone else seemed so distant. For letting our friendship remain till now, the 7th year and counting...

May it all last! And may we remember everything till we have great grand children haha.

May God bless you Sharon! That you will have an amazing year and fabulous life ahead. With all sorts of good stuff to come. Be safe and stay healthy and happy! And am so glad you have other wonderful friends there too to celebrate with you when your besties in Kuching(and Aus) can't do it for you.

Cheers to an amazing birthday and year ahead!

Prettiest things!

As you all might have already seen in Facebook, I bought "3 awesome shoes!" haha. Well, they are actually 3 really nice books: The Devil Wears Prada, Everyone Worth Knowing and Chasing Harry Winston. I always loved the incredibly posh heels on their covers, and this time all THREE comes in one little size 3 box! *laughs with joy* It totally looks like an amazing shoe box doesn't it?

However, it will be some time till I open the plastic wrapping around it and read all of them as I still have 3 books in line to finish >_<.

 

Closer look at the fabulous heels. *drool*

  

Underneath the box.

The whole package costed RM89.90 but I had a 10% discount. It's practically like buying a new pair of shoes lol. I guess this would be more worth it (AND lasting). giggles

Since the title is all things pretty, I just have to show you girls (and guys) these beauutiful accessory hangars:

Pink one ♥

Purple ♥

 

See the beautiful detail on them.. ♥

 I would so get them if they were not RM79.90 each. 

I am now trying to convince myself that they are a neccesity. HAHA. I mean, I have soooo many accessories lying all over my room! This will definitely help in space-saving! ReallY! >_<. *continues to debate*

On another note, pretty stuff I already have, that I am still loving lots! Taken on a beautiful soft pink furry pillow in Steph's car.

My polished nails lol. 

Actually I'm super satisfied with my 20 over bottles of nail polish collection. All in different colours haha. (have a weakness for new colours). Threw away alot more older cheaper brands that are now dry.

Cheaper as in the RM3.90 Emily ones. After you start using Elianto and FaceShop (RM10 and above ones) or higher-end or slightly more expensive brands, one can really see and feel the difference in the nail polish.

However, I read that it is very unhealthy to be constantly exposed to fumes from the nail polish and the liquid itself! So girls, do your nails in well ventilated areas and let your nails rest form nail polish once in a while. 

 

And finally, still my best and prettiest purchase ever! My iPhone 3gs. :) 

Really, before I owned it, I was like, "what's all this fuss about iPhones about" and shyt. But when I finally held one, I fell in love with it immediately. It's touch screem is so easy and senstitive, it's very user friendly, it's response is like really fast, doesn't lag one bit (I should know, I can't stand anything that lags! which is why I stopped using Nokia ever since they started producing smart phones >_<. yeap, I'm extremely impatient). Which also makes it superb for gaming. :D 

I now have 6 pages on my iPhone and the number of applications I have is increasing every few months >_<. Having so much fun with it now. 

Here's some of the applications I have: All sortsa puzzle games to arcade games. Have lotsa camera apps and picture editing tools, so I can crop, frame, adjust brightness and contrast and everything a photoshop software can do; whereas for the camera, I can zoom pics, take in different modes and lots more. Have dictionaries in Japanese and Thai. Haha. Also have an app that shows MBO or any other cinema in the world's show times! Which is extremely useful and way faster than checking in cinema.com.my. And other random apps like flash lights, alarm clocks and stuff.

The iPhone is seriously a very powerful phone and I don't think I'll stop using it till it breaks down on me >_<. Seriously, you never know untill you start using it.

However there is a tiny catch. My version's 3.1.2. Am using Black Ra1n for jailbreak. The problem is, it isn't very steady on my phone and crashes on me once in a while. :/ If anyone have and stable jailbreak software to introduce, please tell me! :D

That's all for today :D

The Cottage part 2

Back to The Cottage on Saturday night... and it was pretty damn FUN. People of all ages can be found in that tiny pub. From people in their 20s to 60s. I believe everyone had a pretty good time :)

A live band was invited to perform throughout the night. They started with slow songs in the first session, and then in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th session, they brought up the beat and rocked everyone off their seats :D Yeap, they were pretty good. They sang quite alot of interesting songs from the 80s, 90s, a few chinese songs and lotsa songs us 'younger ones' like to hear :D Some of them are, PussycatDoll's Hush Hush, Lady Gaga's Poker Face, Eh Eh, Shakira's Hips don't lie (i think), Whine Up and many moree! Got half the room dancing.

Think they might still be playing next Saturday. Will confirm :D

 Yeah~ Yi Hong opened this awesome drink. ZEN Green Tea Liquor. It tastes totally like green tea. Just with alcohol. A bit too sweet for my preference though. If you guys like Midori, you would like this ;). I tried this mixed with plain water, it tasted exactly like package green tea. Lol. I also tried it with beer and it was pretty good in a bitter sweet way. :D

 

As you can see, the cocktail bar is full of people, and so was the rest of the pub. It was pretty packed with people of all ages.

 

The main bar.

 

Me and SS!

 

Dy Dy is back!

 

Me and the both of them. :)

My little Hennie was getting pretty red  haha.

 
 

Lol Viki with the live band behind him.

 

A guest singer which is a friend of the band's went up and started singing, "I will survive~!" She was quite good and got the crowd very entertained.

 

This boy was emo due to some confidential reasons LOL. Toldja he gets emotional when he's tipsy >_<.

EmoNess

 

Guest guitarist from the crowd. Damn, feels like a friend of dad's >_<.

 

Flowers at the bar. It was 2am something and they were closing.

 

And someone was wasted. HAHA. But I like this pic. I find it rather artistic lol.

 

Anyone to take the homeless drunk with them?

Mission Accomplished! 

Had a really fun night at The Cottage eventhough it doesn't have a modern clubbing scene with youngesters and all. It was the music, the atmosphere and the people that made it awesome.

On other nights, they may play slower music, but I bet it'll be a pretty nice place to drink and just chillax. :)

Nights guys.
