easy a is simply genius...

during my holiday break, i took the pleasure to buy me a dvd (like any lonely girl would do during the holidays..) it is somewhat a therapy for me...so, there i was,in front of my old tv.. (yup, not an LCD tv)... to be honest, i was always a fan of emma stone, and watching her slapstick comedy attempts are damn funny and fun.. she is a reminder to all girls out there that we are just human...

source:moviefone

a glimpse of the movie shows that this is a must watched... the unforgettable lines are damn funny...

hands down to emma who made "olive" her own... the funniest scene would be where she sings to natasha beddingfield's "pocketful of sunshine"... XDDDDDDDD

but there is a part where emma rants on how good guys are really hard to fine nowadays and it was pure genius...

Olive: "Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."

that's really something right...
so here's my version;

"what really happened to chivalry? does it only exists in chick-flick movies or cw teen shows? i want ian somerhalder protecting me from ancient evil vampires.. i want matt barr to realize that i was the one instead of his best friend... i want ryan gosling to cry because he knows he lost me... just once, i want my life to be like in those movies or shows... preferably one without sex or drugs.... (hey, i'm trying to live a clean and healthy lifestyle right now) but, no, no... gary marshall did not direct my life... :(

this is REALITY, and i'm just allowed to day-dream about it, so to all you lovers out there, there's hope for love, if u believe (i know that sounds so cliche'.. but i'm running out of lines here...
going out with a bang, y'all...see ya... ^^

going to the movies with my dad...."the tourist"

i know it sounds lame.. but not everyone has my kind of dad..it is a known fact that i'm daddy's little girl although i am a rebel.. (considering my crime record is nothing to be proud of...)

so, i have a collection of stories of my fave movies.. from the ever disappointing "avatar" to the hilarious "zombieland"... with my dad, i watch tons of movies.... (hey, sy lyn jga "the expendables".. nda tidur sy tgk....klh lelaki...hahaha..)

nways, just a few weeks ago, i had an emergency holiday.. (my college had water and electric problems, the downside of a secluded college..)

so, after a month of movie hiatus.. (meaning i didn't go to the cinema to watch movies..)

so, my movie choice was either "the tourist" or "seasons of the witch"... ehmm... which aa...??

of course la the tourist wif dream guy, Johnny Depp..

credits to:backseat cuddler

hie3.. dreamy huh..

he teamed up wif almost perfect angelina jolie...the tourist started off pretty slow.. imagine me fidgeting on the chair mumbling... "where's the action?" not the frisky kind, its just that the movie feels slow and the lack of storyline just made it worse.. even the two actors can't save the plotline...

but i do give props to some lines in the movie that really got me thinking... like embracing good and bad in people... sometimes i can't do that cuz the bad can't seem to cover the good, but who am i to judge since i'm not an angel nways... this really got me thinking that in every story, there will always be two sides or more... so don't be that judgy.. try to avoid it... :D

feeling a little blue

the "day" is coming...

i meant "academic day".. i think i fear this day due to the excessive crying that i did last year due to my sem 1 results.... that wasn't all, my dad was there to witness it all... my2... i felt down all day, and it was a holiday.. and the thing is i had to held my head up high and smile when i felt that down...

all i know that "day" will be full of tears, n i'm really preparing for it... tsk..tsk...

i want a teddy bear...

i'm here sitting at my class editing my essay and out of boredom, i feel like writing a story that was told to me by a friend who was told by another friend, who was told by his other friend,... and yes it goes on and on and on... i don't exactly know the authenticity of the story because its been passed on through generations maybe.. (okay, it's evil me talking...b'cuz i think this story may have happened during the early era of when hp was first discovered.... okay, that may have been a bit exaggerated..)

so, this is the story of ms. a and mr. b...

they have been seeing each other for quite a while and they are in LOVE...

as a sign of love, mr. b will always give ms. a a teddy bear everytime they meet...(i know... so sweet...)

cute ryt..?

as they grow, ms. a had grown a little tired of the teddy bear act and wanted to hear those 3 little words from mr. b.. (no, its not "i heart nyc"..)

but never has mr b confess his feelings towards ms. a, and like expected, ms. a had grown tired...

one day, while she went to her usual coffee bean, she saw mr. b with another girl.. under her immature misconception, she grew suspicious and her heart shattered into pieces when she heard her boyfriend said "i love u" to that girl..

well, u know what happened next.. she was heartbroken but that's not all, she gave him the silent treatment for a few weeks....

it was only after that, mr. b gave her a call regarding their anniversary.. (don't ask me which..)

the girl waited for him, but unfortunately, he never showed up...

the incident as she thought was just adding insult to the heartbreak, so she bailed... not even trying to contact the guy...

that night, her friend called and told her an important "NEWS"!!

""b just got into an accident..!!! they don't know if he's gonna make it.."

ms. a went on a prayer rampage hoping that her beloved would be sav

ed but fate as we know it, had written that mr. b would not live long as she hoped for....

she went on to hug her teddy bear, and believe it or not the teddy bear squeaked *i love you!*

yes, those 3 little words that she had been wanting to hear....

normally, we would not appreciate whats in front of us, and i take from this story that we shouldn't expect too much from somebody but instead, just accept them for who they are as it is the best for not only us but also for them...

ciao, xoxo...

listening to "winter's child"....

okay, i mentioned this song once in my older posts.. and it is kind of ironic that i found this song during my lil brother's 17th birthday which was on winter season (early january), when i was watching my fav k-drama "dream high".... although there is no snow in m'sia, the thing is i just love the simplicity of the song....

here's a pic of the darling singer that covered this classic song..

she's one the leading vocalist of k-pop group, miss a.... suzy...

she plays go hye-mi in dream high.. in a particular scene with 2pm's taec-yeon, she sang "winter's child" , a song that brought back his memories towards their childhood days...

the song also gave a new twist on singing "happy birthday"......

what's not to love..??

Here are the English lyrics..... and fyi.. they're not even mushy... but unbelievably sweet....

Born in the winter, beautiful you. Clean like snow
You who belongs to me
Born in the winter, my lover. Clear like snow. You who belongs to me

Regardless whether its spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
Always clear and clean

Born in the winter, beautiful you. Clean like snow,
You who belongs to me

Regardless whether it's spring, summer, autumn, or winter. Always clear and clean

Born in the winter, beautiful you. Clean like snow.
You who belong to me ~

happy birthday to you..happy birthday to you ooohh
happy birthday to you. Your birthday...

happy birthday to you (happy birthday to you)

so, now.. if you wanna sing happy birthday, this song may help you give a new twist to the classic greeting...

look up my playlist to hear the song... i guarantee, it's sweet and soothing... (ok, i'm in a good mood while writing this...) see ya...

feeding the empty soul.....

right now, i'm singing miss a's suzy "winter child".... a sweet song cuz i keep singing it all over again till the extent that i'm annoying my temporary roommate, lena.... (yup, the one who played cooking academy..)

but that's not what i want to talk about.... i'll talk about it on my next post...

it's about my life at this college.... the facts on why i always run out of money... yes, what could i possibly buy at this small college, right...?

well, there's lots to buy actually... and i'll give you a quick list...

the reason why i'm writing this...hmmm... ok, i'll tell you... just now, after i had my bath, and charged my phone, and blah3.... i had the usual chat with my accidental shrink, ms. lena mang.... hie3...( i commercialized ur name lena...teehee...), we talked about how our friends are living the uni life while we're stuck here maturing at a slow rate... (yeah, its the sound of frustration in my voice...) quite jealous of my friends who r actually living life out there..but i'm actually trying to see the glass half full right now and assume that i am living life.... (but evil me won't let me.....aaagghhhh...)

so, lets start with things that i love to buy at my college punya koperasi...(okay, sori ter'bm...)

1- Rainbow paddle-pop ice cream....

I love this ice-cream since like forever.... and my college's koop is never short of this flavour...

2. Nescafe ice....

it has a chilly feel that undeniably, i like very much...

i'been addicted to it since secondary school....

3.Maggie cup - curry flavour.. yummy... forbidden food always taste good....

4.Notebooks...(not notebook aka laptop... i mean the paper on...)

this is what my accidental shrink, lena loves to buy.... ^^

5.the latest craze.. dadih... ( i have an obsession towards this milky pudding..)

so there it is... all in the above is what i feed to my empty soul here at the college... when u feel that you want an inspiration, u frigging read "chicken soup for the soul" which for me doesn't help at all... (okay, evil me.. calm down..) all i could say that i'm trying to live my life at the fullest and i refuse to go down without a fight.... so, that tomorrow, i won't regret what i did yesterday...hopefully.....

tales of heart woes.....

i'm writing this out of boredom waiting for all my downloads to finish... my holidays are going along well considering this is the occasional " i need a rest" holidays... i don't deny i've been busy.. with all the h'work... but all in all, it's been a blast....

Nevertheless, something happened just now to me... i've suddenly got the inspiration to write about the l word... no, its not lesbian nor lesbians..... its L.O.V.E... say it again with me... L.O.V.E....

so, i'm going to tell a story about ...jajang.....

"THE OTHER WOMAN" (inspired by true events...)

no, it's not the scarlett johansson movie....

it's a known fact that cheating is a felony.... people who cheat are doomed to be guilty for the rest of their lives.... naahhh... its just the evil me talking... ahahaxx...... there's still a thing called second chances.... and i highly doubt that they'll ever change (okay, evil me is still talking)but yes, there still is a second chance.... and the fact is, we always look at the guy and say its his fault... (undeniably sometimes it is....), but every story has two sides to it... and there comes "THE OTHER WOMAN".....

To tell you the truth, i was never the other woman... my conscience is just too clean to do such a thing... but like i said earlier, every story has two sides or more....

okay, here's the ever so complicated story, there's a girl called lexie... she's smart and talented ... and there's this guy, kale... a lawyer to be, smart, good looks.. he's a real catch....

but there's a flaw to him of course.. humans are not perfect... they're allowed to make mistakes... and blah, blah, blah....... so, his flaw is when it comes to love he can't choose... the other woman came as kind of a surprise to him....(kind of...), but the thing is, he forgot to break up with lexie... such a downer to the story... so, when lexie came back, he can't choose... yeah, its the classic "i love you both.. and i can't let u go...."

i don't know what's up with guys and their personality.... what do they learn in school...?? well, girls, take note that being the other woman hurts.. but the good news is, its not entirely your fault... its love's fault.... love kind of sucks whether its right or wrong... and we have to admit that we don't know how they feel.... i seriously pity them.....(not all of them la... aah... evil me is kicking in...)... but try to look at their perspective... what would you do...??

p/s: listening to 'kabhi kushie kabhi gham"... my temporary roomm8 is watching the movie.... ^^

my love for k-pop.... "sorry sorry edition.."

no other but u.... suju m...

it is a common knowledge for malaysians right now that we are hit by an epidemic.. no, its noT H1N1.... its "hallyu wave"... nevertheless, i admit that i'm infected by it... acchhoooo....!!!

i was kind of (hmm....) infected by my friends... (vida n ketty... hehe... i just can't resist the urge to mention your names in this blog..) they are big fans of super junior... and when i first heard of them, i was like..."what are super junior...?" and when i saw the group, my first perception was "what pretty boys...!" as the saying goes, they're a couple of "go mi-nam"s.....

here's a picture of the boy-group (b4 the departure of hangeng and kang-in)

pretty cute, ryt..? so, this time i'll talk about the guys who earned their credit by spreading the wave to not only malaysia but also to the whole frigging wide world...

• How they started..??

after the debut of DBSK, news started to spread that the president of SM Entertainment(one of the biggest entertainment moguls in Korea) is starting to form a new boy band... they were highly promoted among the media.. the group was formed at 2005 with...wait for it... a whopping 13 members.....!!! they are known to be the largest boy band in the world with huge credibility...

so, here are their names ( deep breath...................)

1. Leeteuk ( he is a regular in SBS's Strong Heart along with Eunhyuk and Shindong)

2. Heechul

3. Yesung (the one who sang the sweet ballad "It Has to be You")

4. Kangin ( on hiatus.. now on military service)

5.Shindong

6. Sungmin

7. Eunhyuk

8. Donghae (vida's fave member, he was featured in Boa's "Key of Heart" video)

(omg.. there's 5 more...)

9. Siwon (he starred in K-drama "Oh My Lady!")

10. Ryeowook

11. Kibum (f.y.i, he wasn't around during the "SORRY, SORRY" promotion. but he is still part of the group)

12. Kyuhyun (ketty's favourite, the one with the great vocals)

13. Hangeng (former member, went to pursue a career in China)

they achieved major success through the single "U"... (yeah, i can't stop thinking bout u girl..) =.=

they really do know a way to a girl's heart don't they... the song and its video is known for the "pelvic dance"... and it kind of created a craze... but it's their single "SORRY, SORRY" that was released on 9th March '09 that created a frenzy.. together with Wonder Girl's hit "Nobody" and a whole lot of other songs, they spread an unstoppable wave...

sorry, sorry for not only the girls.. but the boys too..??!!(hey, the boys at my college are crazy of this song too....)

• not only that, this group is divided into 4 sub-units (this is courtesy of my friend, ketty.. tq for the info...)

• super junior m ( the third official sub-unit, the first international Chinese group to feature both Chinese & Korean members). Their single "super girl" featured SNSD's Jessica in its video.....(Their picture is shown earlier.... below the "no other" pic..)

• suju-t (they're the 2nd official sub unit of suju.. they're know to capitalize on the Trot genre)

• suju k.r.y (this sub unit consist of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung...they focus on singing r&b styles ballads.. considering they all have great voices....)

suju k.r.y

• suju-happy..(the fourth official sub unit....they're the perfect cure for a gloomy day as they capitalize on the bubblegum pop genre... their debut single "cooking, cooking"is quirky yet fun...)

my fingers are busting the keyboard just writing about them.. cuz there's a lot to write.. they're all talented in their own way... variety skills, singing, dancing... they're the almost perfect group mechanized to dominate the music industry....

their new single "bonamana" and "no other" has proved to the music industry that they are a force to be reckoned with...

listening to... avril's what the hell.

Avril Lavigne is back... and her new single is a catch... the thing that i liked about this song is its hook chorus...

"all my life i've been good but now, i'm thinking... what the HELL!!"

and you say it like its true, girl... i mean, it's definitely an anthem saying "screw you..!!!"

• To say the least, it is an undeniable fact that a woman is not allowed to do just anything like date lots of guys (that is considered promiscuity).... like avril said in the song :-

"You say that I'm messing with your head

All cuz I was making out with your friend.."

This is so wrong... i mean yes, dating a lot of guys means that you're a mere slut... and also boyfriend's friends are off limits... please get the message girls...

but the song has its high point... avril mentioned that "love hurts whether its right or wrong" and i hate to admit it but its true...

never has love not cause heartaches to women.. and avril is not afraid to admit it... good luck with the new album, avril... if the single is like "what the hell", i'm sure its not going straight to HELL...

an introduction to crepes....yummy....

talking about "cooking academy 2", there was this one recipe that i really loved... japanese "crepes"... and a sudden wave of memories hit my mind...okay, it wasn't all memories, it was also cravings... i love eating crepes... LOVE..!!!!hehe...so here's a way to profess my love towards this delicacy and also give the people a brief introduction of it...

crêpe is kind of like a pancake... but rolled into looking like an ice-cream or a taco.. that's how the way i looked at it...while surprisingly it originated from Brittany,France; it also widely popular across the world... in norwegia it's called Pannekake but in Italy its called crespella.. cool, huh..?!

Moreover, its also popula

r in the land of harajuku, Japan...

And for me I just love Shimino Crepes...

Normally, when i go to the movies at Pavillion, i won't even give a second look to the stall.. but this one day i was still feeling a wee bit hungry after eating a Subway turkey sandwich... so, with the extra money that i had, i took a chance (i sound adven

turous somehow....but the what the heck).... so in an effort to widen my taste bud, i decided to buy a crepe from Shimino Japanese Crepes....

• here's a look of what the Shimino stall looks like.....(sorry to the people in the pic... i just took it randomly from the net)

• here's a look at the menu.. yummy...

so, shimino's crepes are delicious..together with whipped cream, its the best!!! i dare say that it''ll have you hooked once you started eating it... thinking about it kinda makes my stomach orchestrate its own music... huhu... which flavour will i recommend to newbies...??

hmm.... it has to be the banana mixed with ice-cream and chocolate toppings... yumm2....

here's an early picture to get you motivated....

delicious, right..??!!!

so, what is to hate..... it's the almost perfect dessert for all sweet lovers.... 5 stars to shimino japanese crepes...

here's a picture of me at shimino's stall at pavillion....

-cute huh...?! (i don't mean me.. i meant the stall)

playing games....

lol... my friend and temporary roommate, lena is busy playing "cooking academy" and i'm here blogging... the holiday joys that we're experiencing right now....

and i'm proud to say that i've finished the game like a month ago... i was obsessed with the first "cooking academy" and i was also obsessed with the "cooking academy 2"...

hopefully there will be "cooking academy 3" and so on....

Right now, i'm in the midst of finishing "plants vs. zombies" but with all the assignments piling in, i just can't bring myself to play anymore... lol, there's my friend saying "macam mana nie, iman?? nda dpt berhenti..." she just can't stop.. and neither did i... lol.... nways, wish me luck in finishing "plants vs. zombies"...... wahaahahaa.....

listening to jojo's "how to touch a girl"

Its my second post so i'll talk about one of my fav subject which is music.. I've always been a fan of joanna levesque aka JoJo.. she has a great voice and she started out young... she is pretty much what i wanted to be if i hadn't walked the science path..

The thing that i liked about this song is that i relate to it pretty much...

the song starts at a slow pace but somehow the lyrics are moving... call me a hopeless romantic (which i am in the inside), but the truth is, the song is a home-run for me...

why...?? here are the reasons......

• heart-wrenching lyrics

the lyrics are pretty much what i would tell a guy when it comes to trying approach a girl...if you know a way to a girl's heart of course, you'll go far with her right... other than that, the simplicity of it... boy likes girl, boy don't know how to tell thus the girl helps in confessing... easy right... some tips from the song itself for boys on how to win a girl is a winner for everyone regardless whether it is a guy or a girl...

here's a look at the lyrics:-

Bring me some flowers
Conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
And baby if we do

I'll be givin all my love to you

• the story behind it

JoJo herself penned the song. It's about her real-life crush who had no idea to win her heart... (adorable huh..??). Although at a glance, the song's title sounds a little provocative, its really the cutesy story of an innocent trying to find his way to a girl's heart.

All in all, the song is a sleeper hit to me... Although most of my friends don't know the song, but it still touches on a subtle topic that we are sensitive on which is L.O.VE....... xoxo

holidays.... fun or just simply guilty pleasure.....

when it comes to holidays, i'll always look forward to it.Not because i could relax, but because of all the guilty pleasure stuff dat i could do... ranging from watching korean movies to korean variety shows and korean music vids...(basically everything korean)....

It's because of all the hyped publicity that the audience shine on these k- pop stuff...

okay, enough on k-pop...!

so, holidays... today is the start of my college's cny holidays... besides the fact that i've been shoving mandarin oranges into my mouth for the past couple of weeks prior to cny, i also discovered the joy of twitter....

but, nothing is calm when it comes to my holidays... okay, i consider weekends as holidays also, as long as i get the rest....

this holiday is also no shortage of assignments and essays and lab reports...

but i suddenly feel a bit nostalgic... so, here comes the burst.....

when i was little (okay, that does sound cliche but forgive me for the lack of sentence), i had wonderful holidays to sabah, my mom's hometurf... before i even moved there, i visited frequently almost every year... the weather at the time was my favourite, a little gray with a tinge of light plus the breezy wind... i had just finished class at my school... and my mom picked me up earlier than usual, which i liked considering that she always picked me up late... after the packing its of to the airport and up we went to sabah.. upon arriving, i met all my aunts and uncles and cousins (which i've become close to till today)...

hence, its never dawned to people that i was an outcast among them once... there's a reason why i don't like parties and festivities... its because i don't find them relatable to me...and plus, they used to me call me names and i don't like it at all.... so, holidays are never all fun for me... it seems to me that holidays are the times that i can binge on my guilty pleasures.....

but don't let that make you down... there's a whole lot that i haven't talked about... and it's going to be a lot of burst in the future!!
