Movie Buff

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, everybody!!

I wanted to do this a post a long time ago but you know the gist.  I actually have a few movies that I really REALLY wanna watch.  Both that are now showing and coming soon.

The Expendables 2

Daaaaamn.  I seriously wanna watch this one.  I haven't heard any news about this movie though but it's gotta be awesome-er than the first one.  Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis are on it too as add-ons.  MUST WATCH!!

Ice Age 4: Continental Drift

I'm still a kid in some ways despite being in college.  It's cool that an animated movie can be so friggin' real and witty at once.  I saw the trailer few months ago.  I was like.... "HOLY CRAB!!" Haha!!  XD (Watch the trailer and then you'll get my point).

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Another animated movie I wanna watch is this.  Me and Q saw the trailer and we just laughed our heads off when Marty did that 'Circus Afro' jig.

XD

Now, for movies that I really can't wait to see................

Paranormal Activity 4

I'm not really a fan of Horror movies but Paranormal Activity just grew on me.  I saw the 1st and 3rd.  The 2nd one I just watched it half-way.  I think it'll be coming out in October of this year.  I wonder who will watch it with me and belanja me as a present.  HMMMMM (hinthint)  Hehe...

The Raid

This Indonesian movie with a Western touch is said to be one of the best action movies of the decade.  It'll come out next month/September.  Though, I hope nothing will stop me when I wanna watch it.  At least nothing like THIS.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters

From the Rick Riordan novel series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The sequel to 'The Lightning Thief', 'Sea of Monsters', will be released in August of 2013.  Nathan Fillion who stars as Rick Castle in the T.V series Castle will star as Hermes while the 3 protagonists are the same 3 who starred in the 1st adaptation of the novel series.  I hope they don't mess it up like the 1st one.

Well, I got class in half an hour.  Network and System, do be nice to me.  Please??

T_____T"

Gotta jet.  Stay awesome, people!!

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S: A blogger posted a Hari Raya card to my house!!  ^___^

Assemble!!!!

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, peeps!!

Really sorry that I couldn't update earlier.  My Eid holidays are over so I'm in UTMKL already.  I just thought I should take this time to update since the lab class has already finished.

My Hari Raya Aidilfitri was bitter-sweet for me honestly.  True, Ariq coming back for Eid (his 1st time coming to Malaysia by the way) was just awesome and our relatives just couldn't get enough of him.  But I didn't get to meet all my cousins and aunts and uncles which to me, that blows.  But hey, I'm sure they jave their reasons.  So it's cool

:-)

Actually I just wanna show y'all the picts from the few days I spent in Taiping.  Not much really.  WAAAAAAY less than last year.  But that doesn't matterrrrrrr

XD

Two guys and their parents XD

The 'Brangelina' of Malaysia

Wassup? :-)

Ello, ibu!!

Me with the man

Ibu with Abg Cik

Just some fun with Ibu.  Haha!! XD

Quirky Along.  Haha :-D

The whole clan :-D

Wan, Tok Mi.  Nape daddy nyibuk kat blakang tu? Hehe..

Tok, this Clark Kent looks different

Smile!! :-D

Freestyle!!  XD
All in all, it was an awesome trip back.  I think it's my 1st since last year's raya.  Daaaaamn.  Setahun tak balik kampung

>_____<"

Well, in other news, my final exams are in a month.  So, I might not get all the time to update my canvas here.  A lot to struggle for this semseter.

Gotta go.  Stay awesome, people!!

:-D

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S: I don't want this little guy to go back so soon :'-(

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir dan Batin

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, everybody!!

Alhamdulillah, another year with the Ramadhan month passed.  Honestly, I'm a bit sad that Ramadhan's over.  Like I said before, don't get me wrong.  Eid is awesome.  I just feel like I didn't do anything much during those 29 days.  True I WAS able to wake up for a few nights.  It's better than nothing right??

Anywho, I'm in Taiping already.  The others will come in the afternoon I think.  Including Along and angah with their family.  Kaisan and Ariq are just too awesome and cute.  Haha!!

Well, I gotta be off.  Insya-Allah I'll post some picts during my stay in Taiping ok, guys??

;-)


Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir dan Batin saya ucapkan kpd seluruh umat Islam termasuk rakan bloggers.  Salah silap saya, saya minta maaf banyak2.

:-D

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S: I'm curious.  What colour is my fellow bloggers' Baju Raya?  XD

Better Than A Thousand Nights

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, everybody!!

As you all might know, Eid (Raya) is this Sunday.  So technically, it's in about 5 more days (approx.).

Oh, pineapple tarts, how I adore you XD

I've been hearing about Eid almost everyday now especially from the radio in the bus that I get on to go to the campus.  What are the people gonna do..Where are they celebrating this year's Eid..What colour is their baju raya.  Don't get me wrong.  I love Hari Raya.  Family, food, the whole balik kampung experience.  But honestly, we ain't getting any younger.  Call me a rotten apple but I just think we should savour Ramadhan....every year.  It could be our last.

Alhamdulillah, I've been able to wake up at night trying to do solat tahajjud, taubat and hajat (not bragging here just merely saying).  The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said that Lailatul Qadar is within the last 10 days in Ramadhan..........


A friend of mine (who I will not name) told me on twitter that people have been saying that The Night might have happened 2 nights ago (Friday night/early morning of Saturday)


Well, it MIGHT.  It MIGHT NOT.  If it HASN'T happened yet, then I will continue my search for the next few nights Insya-Allah.  But if it HAS already, what wrong is there for me to wake up in the middle night and devote myself to Him?  Especially in this month that's full of Barakah

;-)

I advise those who can to do the same aye?

Well, gotta get up later.

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S: I did my laundry during the weekend.  Everything smelled nice but what shocked me a bit was that my 2 pairs of kain pelikat and jubah, all of which I use to do solat, were the most fragrant from the whole laundry.  A blessing in disguise maybe?  If so, Alhamdulillah :'-)

Thank You Datuk Lee Chong Wei!

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, peeps!!

As you all know, our very own Datuk Lee Chong Wei fought valiantly against arch rival Lin Dan of China. Needless to say, it was a hard-fought match by DLCW.  Winning the 1st set but losing the 2nd, Chong Wei seemed to be getting the best of Lin Dan when he was leading 18-16.  Luck was clearly not on his side, he lost the last set 21-19.  The match, said to be one of the best finals in the Olympics, surely made all of us bit our nails.  At the end of the agonising final, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, sank down and broke into tears.  Nobody can blame him...........



Ok, I didn't see the match but it was really slowing down my twitter.  Every tweet was about how DLCW was doing.  So I didn't bother watching it even though I really wanted to.  When I heard that he lost, it was just gutting.

It's as if THAT wasn't bad enough, my all-time favourite tennis player and world no. 1, Roger Federer lost the final against 4th seed Andy Murray of Great Britain in straight sets in the final. Andy Murray who was beaten by the Swiss Maestro in the Wimbledon Championships last month redeemed himself by claiming the gold medal in the Olympics' men's singles tennis final.

Like any other people in this era of technology, I tweeted.....

@syauqistump1810: DLCW lost the final and Federer ALSO lost the final..GREEEEAT..Hit a man when he's down

Haha!!  No disrespect to Datuk Lee Chong Wei of course.  He did the country proud.  Unlike DAP's assemblyman, M. Manoharan who posted a distasteful tweet on twitter.  He tweeted.....

"LIN DAN wins.  He played better than Lee Chong AWAY."

That's so unprofessional, innit?  Like that's not enough, he tried to politicise sports by saying that if Pakatan Rakyat is in control, our country's sports would be better (I'm paraphrasing here of course).

C'mon la.  DLCW fought hard and came CLOSE to winning.  He even APOLOGISED for not winning.  He also said that his biggest regret is not being able to hear the national anthem during the medal ceremony.  That's how humble and awesome he is.

On twitter, #ThankYouLeeChongWei, #DLCW and lots of others on him were trending worldwide.  That showed how supportive our country is.

Back to M.Manoharan, he issued an apology on twitter saying....

"I deeply regret the comments I have made and tender my heartfelt apologies to Dato' Lee Chong Wei and his family. I sincerely hope my apology will be accepted."

Excuse me, sir.  He has a DATUK rank.  Not DATO'.  But regardless, he apologised.

Well, I got class in a few.

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S: I actually sorta promised myself not to put any political-related stuff (Politicians included) in my blog but he was just over the line.

Smash Them Down!

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu'alaikum, everyone!!

Hold on for a sec, ok guys?

*Gets out my leaf blower and blows the dust and cobwebs from my canvas*

Sorry bout that.  Too much dust makes me sneeze too much.  Anywho, I've been busy with tests and assignments lately.  Still am but the harder ones are already over.  Next test will be Etika Profesional.  But that's in more than a week.  So I guess I can take a breather.  I was on a little hiatus but now, I'm back with a vengeance new post.

The London 2012 Olympics will be ending.  But I think what matters most to us Malaysians is........

Datuk Lee Chong Wei after winning the semis last night

The Koo-Tan pair who are setting their sights on Olympic gold

National shuttler, Datuk Lee Chong Wei is in the badminton men's singles final for the 2012 Olympics in London.  After gunning down Chen Long 21-13, 21-14 during last night's semi finals.  He will face his arch rival, Lin Dan of China in the final after the China-man beat South Korea's Lee Hyun-Il 21-12, 21-10.

The Koo-Tan team reahed the semis and will face 1st seed doubles pair, Cai Yun and Fu Fu Haifeng from China. Based on what I read in today's newspapers, Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong didn't seem that much of a threat to other teams like China, Denmark and South Korea as these 3 countries battled for various major honours.  But the pair proved everybody wrong.

With Kien Keat's current form, they pair will have a chance at the semis and advance to the final.

So..What will it be?

Will Datuk Lee Chong Wei get his revenge against Lin Dan and steal Olympic gold or will history repeat itself?  (Please let it be the 1st one)

As for the doubles...  Will Koo-Tan succumb to the fast play of the Chinese pair or will they create history at the Wembley Arena?

Support the Malaysian National Team!!  XD

See you guys on the flip side!!

P.S : I slept late last night.  WAAAAAY late.  The result?  Today's the 1st day I missed sahur T___T"
