Merdeka Weekend!

Rejoice oh good people. As long weekend are here. Phew! Not opting to balik kampung this weekend, rather stay here in KL. Got a few plans in mind, but nothing really worth spouting off here. This week had been a bit blah. A few people pisses me off or kinda make me feel sad a bit. But also nothing worth to be spouting off here. Not in a rant mode maybe, but I do feel some people should be less of an arse a bit, or think a little before typing or doing anything. Ok? Paham sedara sedari? Ok. Tamoh cakap lebeh2. So a picture laden post. Not my pics. Obviously. First of all, fiance brought back from US... As I said, it is expensive to buy Georgette Heyer books here. I love her book to bits. Hehe. I love Regency romance books. Its make a fun read. And he bought 5!~ I said only one lor. Not my fault he bought it all. And he bought Neil Gaiman's graphic novels. I was waiting for The Graveyard Book, not yet in stores unfortch, so he bought these instead. Inside of "The Last Temptation

La Vie En Rose

                                       Had just finished watching the incredibly talented Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose or La Mรดme. And I have to say, that she surpasses Cate Blanchett in portraying a famous icon. The film gives us the story of Edith Piaf turbulent life and highlighting the high and low points of her life. Raised in a brothel and a circus. Performing in streets and discovered by a club manager, this story tells of her life; childhood, her fame, her loves, her tragedies and the most incredible of all her singing. The film is c'est magnifique and Marion Cotillard deserves her award. I viewed some of Edith Piaf performance in YouTube and found that Cotillard movement and posture in the movie is spot on. The film itself, it got a bit confusing at first as the film goes back and forth from when she was old and she was young. However after 30 minutes of viewing I believed the director made the right choice in doing this as this brings the viewer different

In the 80s: We used to watch and have these....

Part 3 & 4: What we used to watch and what we used to have Part 1: We used to eat Part 2: We used to play What we used to watch... (Though I do think this is more of an early 90s cartoon) Dragonball. I don't watch these. Yups. I think those are the Power Rangers. I did watched it. It is quite as lame ass as Ultraman, but it is kinda a guilty pleasure. After the cast started to leave, starting from Amy Jo Johnson then I stopped watching. Nothing in Power Rangers is cool. Especially after you watched your brothers re-enact those battle scenes. Hikhikhik. Til today if there is Doraemon on tv, I would watch it. "Doraemon and Poket Ajaibnye". Love it. Especially the comic. Though the cartoonist kinda a paedo pervert for his persistent drawing of Sizuka in the bath or changing clothes. It also make me always excited to see dorayaki. I will be always... OMG, OMG, Doraemon favorite food! He-Man. Yeah. It was one of those cartoons muscle clad heroes wearing speedos loincloth

In the 80s: We used to play...

The second part commence. The first part: In the 80s: We used to eat Nope. Never played this. Though I do like to pick up these toys from the floor or by the road. Sometimes I would imagine if my father would looked like this ( My late father was in the army) There is always these toy soldier toys lying around everywhere back in the days. Painful when trodden upon. Ugh. I used marbles for congkak. I love the sounds it make when there is only one or two marbles being dropped into the holes. I kinda missed playing congkak. Would love to play it again. Didn't play with this type of cards either. Tapi kad ini saya layan. I still love playing this. Especially with my brother. He likes boardgames and cards. The fiance sometimes have to layan me and played with Boggles. He usually lose. Which is why he rather reluctant to play Boggles with me nowadays. Remembered the times when you valiantly tried to do all those yoyo tricks you saw on TV? It frustrated me to no end and by the end of the

In the 80s: We used to eat...

I got the below from an email and although I kinda detest copy and pasting lame jokes onto blog, these I cannot resist (and its not even a joke anyway). It just make me smile. It is so long and there would be some finger-scrolling exercises to do but it is all in pictures! So don't lose heart! Update: As it is quite long, I think I am going to divide it to 3 parts. 1 part per post. This would be easier for moi to update. Also I couldn't be bothered to edit it nicely to put the pictures in 1 nice row and I rather want to put own comments next to the pictures... I remembered a whole lots of junk foods that we would just shuddered if we would want to eat it now, but selalu berulang alik kedai makcik, scraping at our tabung to buy some of these stuffs. I love gums. I love them even today. I have a whole 'container' filled with gums in work place. These 'bear' gums is da best when blowing bubbles. Always bought them at show off my skills in blowing bubble to my lit
