Sunday Shake Your Love Purple Birthday


h A p P y B i R t H d A y , M i S t I p U r P l e ! ! !



Shake Your Love...

I take one piece, ya... ;)

Vantage Point, a good watch. The story is told in a pretty unique way, 'repeated' from the perspective of a few people in the movie. Synopsis C&P from IMDB:

In Spain to give a speech announcing an anti-terrorism initiative, the U. S. President (William Hurt) is apparently shot. The action tracks Secret Service agent Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) as he deals with the chaos following the shooting. We see the event first through the eyes of the television news director (Sigourney Weaver), then the scenes rewind and we see it again from several different perspectives. The arrogant U.S. Secret Service and their clever tricks meets an even more clever adversary, one who seems to have read the good guy's playbook. Agent Barnes is aided by an innocent tourist played by Forest Whitaker, and there are numerous bad guys and incidental characters. By the time Barnes discovers who the double-agent is, it is a race against time to save the president, and the ensuing car chase is a wild ride. The movie ends where it began--with the television news giving a tidy explanation that is quite different from reality. The repetitive return to 12:00 noon seems closer to Groundhog Day than Rashomon, but it is neither comedy nor drama--Vantage Point is an action thiller, start to finish.

Forgiveness


Earlier this afternoon at 3 pm, Eh-dee-sern Chen gave a press conference, and announced that he will quit "step away from" the HK entertainment industry "indefinitely". (It's okay wan... He still has Hollywood lah, Bollywood lah, Bolehwood lah... ) It was his first public appearance since all his scandalicious pics found their way to the Internet a few weeks ago. He looked calm, composed but clearly, the word 'regret' was seen on his face. He apologised to all the ladies, their family, his own family and the people of HK. He asked for forgiveness.

Is it easy for you to forgive and forget?

Me? I'm a pretty forgiving person. I blame it on Bad Memory... *shrug* BUT, I gotta take my hats off to those who forgave their cheating spouse / partner.

Dormant Accounts, Macho Men

A couple of days ago, I received a letter from the bank informing me that one of my joint account is now dormant and I was advised to reactivate it a.s.a.p. Well, honestly, I have forgotten about this account. (Blame it on memory cells going down the drain, and at such tender age summore... ahem :P)

So, off I went to the bank today. Yes, some banks here in the Klang Valley open 7 days a week. Chev called me when I was at the bank and told her that I'd return her call. She was surprised to learn that the bank is opened. So, anyway, the account was untouched for maybe about a year or so. So fast can jadi dormant wan, okay. So, those of you with many fat bank accounts, faster do something about them if you had not touched it for sometime. If not, the Ruling Party will makan your $$... betul tak, Cibol? On the other hand, I asked the bank teller, what is the duration for an account to become dormant, she said 6 months. Huh?? So fast?? Is this piece of info correct, Cibol?? (Updated : According to Cibol, bank accounts become dormant after exactly one year of no transactions...)

Anyway, I withdrew some money (seriously, this sum of money came at a very, very ngam time for me to get a DSLR... I think some 'special power' is involved in making this happened lah...) and then proceeded to run my next 'errand'.

I terminated my gym subscription after leaving it 'dormant' for one whole year... 'dormant' as in, I paid but no go. Yup, that one year of subscription fees was like 'buta' only for that fitness centre. So, what now for sexercise??



U think this will work?? RM1,388... just sit there, watch TV... yeah, exercising the lazy way, wheee! :P

And while I was enjoying lunch, I read with great interest, this piece of "news" that was found on the front page of The Star today. Here's the interesting finding entitled, "Family and wealth, not sex, the mark of a macho man."

In the study, 89% of Asian men (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan) think that having an active sex life is important, wheareas only 0.9% of Malaysian men (One of the 3,000 guys in the survey must be Adrian... muahahaha :P Okaylah, maybe Cocka also was one of the 0.9%) said that active sex life makes them man. 25% of our Malaysian men stated that having a good job is 'macho', whilst 20% of them said that being a family man is equivalent to being 'manly'. WHAT?! Get outta here! Quick guys, out with THE TRUTH!!! Muahahaaha...





Slow Me Down Lyrics

Anyway, last one, remember 2004's Phantom of The Opera movie? Yup, this is THE Christine! Played by Emmy Rossum. That time, she was just 18 years old. She's so leng... came out with an album late last year and this song is one of 'em... Nice?



And, has anyone watched Meet the Spartans? Stupidly farnie! Here you go... the movie... (Here's one of the movie links, Ehon!) Great week ahead, all!

Valentine Girl's First Birthday


Dearest Baby Geralynn,

Today, you are One Year Young already... Yiyi witnessed your transformation from the day you were just a couple of hours 'young', when you smiled / grinned with your eyes closed, where yiyi & porpor were checking you out from the Baby Room's window in the hospital, until now, you have already spent approximately 8,760 hours in this relatively new world... how time flies!

From then on, a year ago, our lives changed. You brought Ultimate Joy to the whole family... to your mommy, your daddy, yiyi, your porpor, your kungkung...

Even though you are constantly so active, at times cranky, sometimes to the point of making your mommy & yiyi go crazy, we love you unconditionally, with all our hearts... Your cheeky sweet smile always never fail to melt our hearts, just like how butter will melt in a hot pan liddat...

Your ability to imitate the things we do in our daily lives have really stunned us, especially the time when you took yiyi's mobile phone and put it beside your ear. OMG.. we never taught you that! You learned by example, I guess... And also the way when you participated in our jokes by laughing with us! Haha... Porpor said, "Look at her cunning ways, the way she laughed!" We laughed louder and you followed. Also the time when you decided to poopoo inside yiyi's car, where your mommy and your porpor had to 'catch' your 'gold' and yiyi became the Watcher, watching to see if the next ball of 'gold' is on its way or not... haha...

So today, being your first ever birthday, yiyi wish you a Very Happy Valentine Birthday! Later we eat your expensive Baskin Robbin's ice cream cake, and open some presents, okie!

Loads of Love, Hugs & Kisses
Your One and Only Yiyi

Dunno What Title To Put Lah!


Yes, hornidays are over. Gonna take a couple of days to kick start the Lazy Engine... I have a lot of things on my mind but I don't know what to blog. So how? Show you this nice music video by Taylor Swift called Teardrops On My Guitar. Nice song.. tho' a tad sad... Who is the Drew in your life?





Anyway:

  • I had to crawl in the traffic jam at the Penang Bridge for half an hour, inching through the toll plaza, on both occasions when I wanted to go over to the island. It sucked! Grrr!!! And on the 4th day, my intention of going to the Kek Lok Si Temple was crushed when I had to do a reverse stunt to get out from the loooong queue at the Ferry Terminal... using the bridge was not a choice as well...


  • I haven't had any yee sang yet... why? Missed the chance on the 2nd day of CNY. But tonite, I hope to have it... and on Friday... and next Monday...



  • I just realised that somehow, the house I grew up in (parent's place), has now become so noisy! At night, in the morning, 24/7 (OK OK, maybe not 24/7 but 20/7, maybe?), dogs barking, howling, crows crowing, motorbikes, cars, lorries, gates opening & closing, and can you believe it that someone was doing renovation work (they were knocking down some walls early in the morning!) on the Eve of CNY and also on the First Day! OMG... it's unbelievable... how did my house become so polluted with noises??? How how??

Who are the Oxens, Dragons & Monkeys? Angkat tangan... :P

February Started With A BANG!

Uh huh... that was what happened to me yesterday. B A N G !


OK, it didn't look that bad when I checked it out at first. The motorcyclist lost his balance (I think) while trying to avoid the bus on the other lane, according to Sis. What was I doing? My mind was somewhere else when suddenly, BANG. Next was, "Shit!" Sis shouted. Me? Cool only... No reaction. (Later I told her that she should be careful not to say all the 4-letter words in front of Baby G and Sis said that she didn't realise that she said Shit hehe...) Not sure what hit my car that time. So, I put on the hazard light and got down from the car. It was bumper-to-bumper on LDP that time.

The motorcyclist was a Malay chap. His number plate also dunno flew where already. So, I didn't get his number. Looking at his face, I knew he won't be able to pay me anything. Plus, I think he was in shock too. U know what he did after that? He just rode off on his bike. Niamah... Me? I was also a bit shocked but I knew there was nothing I could do, and I was a bit embarrassed to have caused a minor jam as I was on the fast lane.

Sigh...

Anyway, at first it looked okay. That picture was taken at the Pavilion's carpark. But later on, to my horror, we found that the bumper was a bit "out" of its place!! It looked fine earlier. I guess the bumps on the roads contributed to that... double sigh! So keik sum that time...

This morning, went to the workshop, they said can't do it now, have to wait after CNY. Gonna cost a few hundred bux... SIGHHH...

To interested "punters" out there, lai lai lai, today I give free number... 8-3-8-3.
