My Merdeka Day Plan

Being married to someone who works in a hospital, one of the sacrifices that need to be made is not to have your better half home with you on Saturdays and at time public holidays. And this is what will happen today...

So, what's my plan for the day.

After sahur, and subuh prayer, I plan to have my very own DVD marathon. The house has been cleaned over the weekend and the cuties schooling needs for Tuesday are ready. So, I finally get to relax.

The chosen movies :

Ghost of Girlfriend Past

I Love You Man

Public Enemy

in no particular order.

If my maths are correct, I should be able to complete before Zohor prayer and then will start to prepare for Iftar.

The menu of the day

Bubur berlauk...nope, it's not bubur lambuk. Will blog about that later.

For now, let me put my feet up and relax while I enjoy this movies. Will blog about the review, that is if I don't doze off in front of the TV....

Movie Review - The Proposal

Let me start this entry with a caviat, I always love Sandra Bullock. From her serious movie starring Mathew Mcoughney(did I spell this right?) called A Time to Kill where she played a lawyer in this very dramatic movie, to the bus driver is Speed, then the divorcee in Hope Floats and of course the detective turn Ms USA in Ms Congeniality, Sandra rarely fails me in her movies.

I was very excited to watch this movie. Love the cast especially who else, Sandra Bullock. But, I know my better half is not into this kind of hopelessly in love movie as his preferance has always been the more people die the better kind of movie. And I also know if I asked him to go and watch his movie, his response would be "tunggu ler kluar kat Astro".

So, I went ahead with plan B, go and watch the movie with my girlfriends. Which exactly what I did last Friday during lunch hour. I was stuck in a meeting and thought I will be late for the movie. But, alhamdulilah, when we entered the theatre and sat, the movie begun immediately. It's a good sign after all the running and rushing to buy popcorns.

Synopsis (my version at least)

This boss from hell, who would do anything for a career boost, was about to be deported to Canada and will be replaced by this guy whom she fired few minutes earlier. She then figured, by marrying her assistant, she will get to stay and that's what she did. However, little did she know, it's not as simple as it seems. She ended up having to go through this rigid procedure initiated by the immigration and later having to meet the guy's family in Alaska. Lots of funny moment like when they were both naked unintentionally, the ritual dance done by Margaret(Sandra's character) with Andrew's(the hero in the movie) grandma, the most multi tasking person I have ever met, Ramon doing his stuff and many more. Of course in the end is quite cliche but who cares. I am here to see happy moments to release my stress.

My take on the movie....

I LOVE IT!!!! A must watch and you will be floating once the movie ends (At least I was)

So, next movie in line - Ghost of Girlfriend Past...tak sabarnyer!!!!

Company's Open Day - Monsters Vs Alien & Burger King

And again I am doing this skip-suka-hati-aku kind of entry. This time we're back to the our company's Open Day event. After the event held @ Mercu, we went on the

bus back to KLCC for a movie and followed by lunch after that. The chosen movie was Monsters Vs Alien the latest movie shown @ cinemas currently.

The cuties were very excited since they have seen the adverts on this movie on the billboards as well as the advert on TV. While hearing the talk held earlier, they kept on asking me when are we seeing the movie and the next question was when are we going to Aquaria. Looks like they are just into the fun stuff and not so into the educational bit of the trip.

While taking this photo, Cik Wan was telling me "mana boleh ambik gambar dalam cinema". Hahaha!!! Memang tak boleh Cik Wan but since this is the only chance I can do so, mesti lah nak take the opportunity kan. Otherwise, I may be accused on trying to film this movie and then jadik tokey DVD harams......

I have to be honest again, I was really tired and I slept just after 10 minutes the movie started. My baby told me I was really sound asleep as she was asking me for water and I did not respond.

When I woke up, about 15 minutes before the movie end, I noticed I was not the only parent sleeping in the cinema. Most of them were still sleeping! See how tired the people I worked with kan? So, due to this, no review can be given. But, the cuties loved the movie!

Then, we had lunch @ Burger King, KLCC. Frankly, that's not the best choice to eat at that hour especially when we have to beat the other lunch crowd. Ended up, some of the participants did not get to sit and took the lunch and ate them elsewhere. I guess, the organiser must have their reason for choosing this location.

My hero was so hungry, he finished the whole Whopper by himself. Mula2 nak share dengan Mama konon, but when I saw him eating this non-stop, I told him to just finish the whole burger.

Next stop, the Aquaria!!! Not only the cuties looked forward for this trip, I love Aquaria myself.

Aquaria, here we come!!!!

Big Apple Again Then Movie

I took the day off last Monday and Tuesday. It was indeed well spent with my cuties and my better half of course.

The cuties have been wanting to watch Night at The Museum 2. We went to Alamanda on Sunday to watch that but the tickets were sold out hence we went again on Monday.

The crowd was quite large considering it was a school holidays. We had to que for nearly 15 minutes before it's our turn to purchase the tickets. I was told they reserved 2 theatres just for this movie due to overwhelming response.

While waiting for the movie to start, we made our way to Big Apple just for a light meal. I am still on my diet so I just had one semi glacier doughnut with coffee while my better half and cuties where having doughnut spree.

What I thought of the movie?

I love the movie, it was fun and funny at the same time has "morale of the story" attached to it.
The suspense element is also there and if I am an American, I would also learn history at the same time.

I had a good time that day and I hope the cuties felt the same way too!

You complete me.......

One of the movie I love watching is Jerry Mcguire. No, I never had any crush with Tom Cruise, he is so not my taste. I would go for someone with strong jawbone features like Brad Pitt...Brangan ler tu.

Yesterday, while doing clothes folding action so that I don't procrastinate and letting the piles to clothes to be taller than me, I watched this movie again.

The tagline "You complete me" and "Show me the money" really made me smile. Though I have watched the movie more than 5 times....it never fails to entertain me...

Movie Tag

I have been tagged (again??) by fazid.

Since I am guilty for not updating my blog as regularly as I wanted, so I gave in to this tag.

The rules are as follows :

Please copy the following rules in your post (as usual)

1. You have to point out 5 romantic movies that you would love to share with your loved ones..

2. It doesn't have to be in order.. as long as you love the movies, it will be fine..

3. You have to tag another 5 person to answer this tag

In no particular order.

Being a hopelessly romantic person, my romance movies choices are as follows :

1. Ghost

I saw this movie when I was in Form 3 and still enjoy watching this movie though I have watched it like a million times already. Demi Moore was simply superb in this movie. And the song Unchained Melody is still stuck in my head.

2. Clueless

I watched this movie over and over again until I memorised most of the script. Love Alicia Stone's attitude and of course the famous tagline "Whatever!"

3. My Bestfriend's Wedding

Being a Julia Robert's fan, of course one of her movies will make it to my list and that will be My Best Friend's Wedding. "Forever & ever, you're in my heart and I love you!"

4. Ayat2 Cinta

Saw this movie last Raya while having dinner with my better half and I was really moved and tears started to roll automatically. I was told this movie is an adaptation from a novel which Wati promised to lend me(Mana nyer Wati oooooiiiiiiiiii)

5. Kal Ho Naa Ho

I am not a Hindi movie kind of person especially when SRK is one of the casts but this one is different. I saw this movies like 5-6 times but it never fail to cause me to shed some tears....

So, I am tagging :

1. eiseai (just wanna see the romantic side of you mommy)

2. lil^red (sharelah your fave movie)

3. vagg (bakal pengantin so sure tgh romantic kan?)

4. ak0143 (showlah man is actually a romantic species!)

5. azrul (saje jer nak tgk adik ku jiwang tak!)


So, itu sajelah yer

Movie Review - Upin Ipin The Movie

First and foremost, I don't understand why they did not call this movie Upin & Ipin the Movie. Upin & Ipin is already a brand on its own and by changing the name of the movie can lead to further confusion. That's what I experienced when I try to do phone booking for the movie. When I press 2 for Malay movie, I have 2 options ; Press 1 for Sifu & Tonga and Press 2 for Geng. Mana Upin & Ipin nie. Then only I found out the name of the movie is Geng & Pengembaraan. Apalah!

We watched that movie at The Mines Shopping Centre in between my work. The place was really packed and even the cinema that we were in do not have a single empty chair. Even the front row which require for you to lift your head 45% higher were not spared.

How was the movie? It was GREAT!!! Love it. It has all the necessary elements for an animation. Music, adventure, humour and of course moral of the story. I love it so much and so did the cuties and my better half. I planned to purchase the DVD once they are out. The original one yer....

You should go and watch this movie. Apart from supporting the local film, this is not like the typical local film. So, tunggu apa lagik. Dapat kan tiket di pawagam yang berhampiran....

BETUL BETUL BETUL!!!
