New Moon, midnight show.

The most awaited movie turned out to be just alright. But like with any other beloved literary franchise brought to the silver screen, there's already an impassioned fan base eager to see it realized regardless of its quality, and there's also an inherent distrust among them of non-fans who will eventually be analyzing the object of their affection (hands up)

After Bella recovers from the vampire attack that almost takes her life, she looks to celebrate her birthday with Edward and his family. However, a minor accident during the festivities results in Bella's blood being shed, a sight that proves too intense for the Cullens, who decide to leave the town of Forks in Washington, for Bella and Edward's sake. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even closer friendship with Jacob Black. Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.

The movie was almost perfect; with the perfect casts and a strong storyline with a lot of emotions involved. But...

Here's the difficult part for me to say.

The technical measures and the CGIs, New Moon is a superior effort, well-shot, efficiently told, but what in my opinion, it was lack in conveying emotional authenticity, which is why it didn't quite fulfill the expectations of followers of the franchise.(yes, my hand is up again)

What's most disappointing is that I actually liked Twilight when I first saw it (and 5 other times..), and was really hoping that the characterizations in New Moon would at least step a notch, not relying too much on the CGIs and go by the book, everything in the book. Because baby, I felt like I was already 109 years old by the time the movie ended. Sigh.

Ultimately, to yours truly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is a mediocre film, but for Twilight fans it should qualify as a triumph. Hehe..

So if you've read the book, you might want to stick by it.

Disappointed? Honestly, a little bit..60% but everything was cured with the flawless-awesomeness-crettness of Edward of course. Cheers~

I had a very bad dream last night.

My bunch and I were on our vacation; at a beach with such a perfect view, white sand on our feet, crystal clear water. It was like a paradise.

As usual, Nanayau, Qaf and Cikut couldn't wait to dive in the deep blue sea, so they left their bags for us to find a spot as they ran towards the sea. We left our bags and started walking together, laughing away, couldn't believe we are on our vacation after months dealing with crappy workplace. Nadz started dialing Jib's number (she didn't get to follow us, Dhani demam), going on video call to check on her and show her what a beautiful place it was.

Suddenly, we heard people screaming.

And there it was..a huge wave, approximately hundreds of meters high. It looked like it was far away but in our sane minds, we knew that it was coming really fast. I remembered in such slow motion, I was grabbing Natt's hand and Fozz was pulling Nadz, running towards our bags. But there was no time, we ran towards a few high chalets, wasn't sure if those could hold. We grabbed to the pillars and prayed that Nanayau, Cikut and Qaf are safe, somewhere..

It was terrifying to see the other people trying to survive the waves. One minute they were running, after the first huge wave, they were no longer there. One minute they were trying to grab on the pillars, one minute they were sucked in the water. Natt was crying away as she tried to help out a girl but the current was too strong. We could feel the pillars moving, we prayed so hard that it would hold on. It happened so fast.

After a few minutes, the horrifying episode ended.

Shivering, scared and lost, we tried to look for our bags, hand phones were in there. We need to call up our families, we need to call up Jib, we need to call Nanayau, Cikut and Qaf, to at least know everyone is alright.

Then there were another 2 huge waves and it did wipe out most of the living things, surprisingly we survived. Our emotions were like roller coaster; super traumatized with the disaster, glad that we're still alive, worried about the other three.


We looked at Nadz.


She said with full of excitement. We weren't sure to be relieved or not to believe her.


Natt asked.


Nadz tunjuk laptop. Fozz, Natt and I made (-_-') face, with a huge sweat on our faces

Where the hell did that laptop come from??

Sememangnya mimpi itu mainan tidur. But the scary part felt real.

Hope everyone is ok. Be safe.

How old were you when you took your first coffee?

Honestly, I just love the smell of coffee, it's soothing.

But never like the taste of it, that bitterness, woody and a little bit chocolaty, yet it is so memorable.

How do you like your coffee?
Strong or weak?

I don't do black coffee. I usually settle down with a few cups of Nescafe (is that considered as coffee??) to stay-up during exam weeks because that was what people tell you; drink Nescafe or coffee to keep you awake. Unfortunately, it failed me miserably. I slept after a few pages through the history book.

But nowadays I'd have coffee (with milk of course, cold or hot..), around 10am and that would keep me distress for the whole day. I'm not sure if it's the smell of it or the caffeine, but I just love it. Either way, it would keep me sane. But I believe that I'm not a hardcore coffee drinker like Nadz, but I do drink it occasionally, for the 'warmth' and 'flavor' of it.

It's not really about needing some caffeine in your system to keep you going for the whole day. Maybe it's just the look of you sipping a cup of coffee, you know, you look a little bit mature..in a way and for once people would take you seriously. Is it? Hahaha..

Call that lame.

Straight A's for UPSR.

Congratulations, Yin!

Ashu Shaz is so proud of you.

If my Dad knew what I did today, my ears would bleed listening to his lectures.

Fine, I ditched work today; half day though.

I wasn't in the place to finish up some other people's work when they chose to attend some not-compulsory training when their work is piling up. I was told that I had to attend that training too but I chose not to when things were chaotic in the office. Expecting me to clear your crap? I don't think so.

Call me selfish?

Call me whatever you want, I finished my work..how about you?

Ok, enough about work. It's just lame.

How was my weekend?

I left a book and a few DVDs to Nadz, just to keep her occupied while I spent those two days with Fozz, Natta and Qaf. It was depressing actually, the event itself. We barely hear what they were trying to say, ended up with Fozz and Natt discussing on Natt's wedding dress. As for me, I just dozed off after reading the tabloid.

Not that we don't want to understand the message, but hello? They themselves were reading it from the handouts. So, we just read the handouts lorr..haha!

Then good girls gone bad.

I planned to escape, to catch a movie with Atie and turned out the other three were planning the same thing; just that they wanted to escape for a few hours. Heh!

Jennifer's Body was such a torture.

If Megan Foxx hates people to look at her as a sex symbol instead of an actress, then she should tone down on the showing off her body and act more. The movie was more like an exploitation of her body rather than focusing on the script. Besides, the script was written by the people who did Juno, dammit!

Disappointing.

So Atie, now we're even. You chose to torture me with your choice of 9 September, I returned you this. Hahaha..


Counting the days to New Moon y'alls!~

"Doctors spend a lot of time focused on the future..
Planning it.
Working toward it.

But at some point you start to realize, your life is happening now.

I love you?
I don't ever want to live without you?
You changed my life.

Did you say it?

Set a goal, work toward it.

But every now and then, look around..
Drink it in because this is it..

It might all be gone tomorrow.."

This particular week had pushed me to my limits.

I blurted out "..whatever.." to my boss, with no hesitation, full of frustration. We didn't talk to each other for a day or two. I got no problem with the silent treatment, I felt calmer and I can do my job in peace.

Then he texted, apologizing; everyone is under pressure now and this will be on until Malaysian Open next year. So?

A few days later, the things that I've worked on like crazy just went down the drain because he said, NO. Ok, I accepted it. Later, 15 minutes before my working hours ended, he texted; requesting me to do the thing that he rejected earlier and it was for the next day event. I put down my phone and walked to another room and sat at a corner, between the file cabinet and a few boxes. I cried, out of frustration and annoyed. It was like doing something stupid. I've canceled everything with the organizers earlier because he rejected and now I had to arrange it back?! Others would see me like I'm so unorganized or something, which I really hate, because I know I'm not. I can't be dropping everything just to clear his crap. I was pissed off but I managed to arrange everything on time. But the feeling of, you know, sangat kelam kabut..I just don't like that.

We didn't talk for a day or two.

People say this is some sort of a love-hate relationship. It is not, at all. It's totally a soul-torturing bond, which in the end of the day, I'm the one would go crazy.

Now, Mabis is officially the Monday-Therapy-venue for me and my bunch, dissing all about work because that's what all of us going through at the moment.

Is this normal? Because I can't go on like this until my retirement age, 55..that's a very long way to go. Huhuh..

Enough about that crap. I've got that expressed during the Monday-Mabis. So, what's new?

I got myself a Joe and a Takezo. Well, Joe is my ikan puyu (the protector la konon) and Takezo is the ikan laga.

I have two cats since I was 8 years old and those cats are pretty much alive in Kota Bharu. Panjang umur huh? But they're barely can hear you when you call out their names, no teeth and yeah, they're super old. But I love them. Too bad they're back in KB, hanging out with my parents and I only get to see them when I'm back. So, it has been a while since I got another pet.

I'm looking for something that I can belai, manja, easy to take care of and doesn't shit smelly shits..hahaha!!

Qaf suggested for a sugar-glider..tapi boleh nak manja2 ke?
Nadz suggested for an iguana..kau gila?!
Natta suggested for a pair of hamster..err, kecik?
I was thinking, how about a wolf?? Haram la plak..
Then Nadz suggested, bela Fozz la, si Panda..makan minum dah pandai cari sendiri, toilet-trained plak tuh..

Any other suggestion?

I saw a black kitten somewhere in Taman Tun, for sale and she's so adorable. Exactly the age when Nanayau got Majin Buu and looks exactly like Majin Buu (except that she's totally black..) and she's RM 450. Mak datuk..

Fozz, aku bela kau boleh? Hahah..

Syukur Today is Khamis.
