Selamat Hari Raya 2010..

Last week was Hari Raya. The last day of work for me was on Wednesday so i did catch up on Resident Evil Afterlife 3D & i even followed Sha to go fix her phone but ended up i bought a Blackberry phone cover too. I spent my last sahur with Sha at Nasi Kandar Pelita. On thursday it was actually the eve of Hari Raya. I went to visit my late dad's grave & collected some Raya food such as Rendang Ayam & Daging, and also some satay and kuah kacang.

On Hari Raya itself, went for Raya prayers & later on did all the normal routines for Hari Raya by visiting relative's houses one by one. This year for raya is different as there are not much places to go to. I had to give "Duit Raya" to my cousins as i'm now employed so it's a must to give out money but hey i did get some from my uncles & aunties. I have to say it was a good investment for Raya every year. Hehe.

I
did play some fireworks at my cousin's house but apart from that nothing much happened this year for raya. To me it felt like any other day probably because i have spent more than 20 years celebrating Raya in KL & i really once wished that i could celebrate raya in a real 'kampung' environment to have a taste of what it's like to raya in the village.

RESIDENT EVIL AFTERLIFE 3D : Movie Review

Yesterday, Sha & I managed to watch Resident Evil Afterlife in 3D. I finished work at about 4.30pm & reached PJ around 5pm. So later at about 6pm i picked up Sha & went to Brickfields's Pos Laju to collect her purchases. At about 7.30 i arrived Midvalley Mall to buka puasa. We ate at Seed Cafe & both of us had the same food which was Chicken Rice.


At about 9pm we went to collect the tickets & we had to queue up to hand over our phones before getting in the cinema. Apparently this is the first time they are doing this. Sha & I arrived a bit early for the screening. Both of us were bored that Sha actually took pieces of paper & folded it. She even started poking me as she was bored & she misses her phone. Her statement was 'NO NO, i can't live without my phone, i need it now to update what i'm doing on.. Facebook and and.. Twitter and and.. Foursquare'.


The movie started at about 9.45pm. I have to say Resident Evil have never failed to please me. From the first movie till now the 4th movie, i really enjoy watching it. The best part of watching it was because it was 3D. The fight scenes were pretty cool. 'Matrix should have done 3D too'.Milla Jovovich reprises her role as Alice, Ali Larter as Claire & there are some new faces too in the movie that was also characeters from the video game.


In this movie, it continues back towards the end of the 3rd Resident Evil movie. There are a few characters that came back from the 3rd movie & not to forget there was Jill Valentine played by Sienna Guillory though i don't actually remember seeing her in the movie. Wentworth Miller is a new addition to the movie playing Claire's brother Chris. This movie is more focus on the Umbrella Corporation and Alice along with her new crew on board to save human kind.


This is so far the best 3D experience i had as i've only watched 3 movies in 3D. Haha.

I would like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir & Batin to all my friends. Have a great weekend & drive safely to your hometowns.

US OPEN 2010

This year's US OPEN Tennis so far for the first week has been TREMENDOUS as the great players of tennis are still on the run. Former Grand Slams Champions are BACK for war with each other to capture their very last grand slam of the year. The early favourites for men comes in the shape of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It has been a very long long journey for these 2 rivals as either one of them will win the US Open tournament this year. If Nadal wins it will be his 1st ever US Open title and it will be his first time ever completing all the grand slam titles. As for Federer it will be history for him to make with one of the 5 leading men with most grand slam titles.

Rafael Nadal

Roger Federer

The ladies this time around sadly has NO Serena Williams as she is the best women player up to date but this has not given hope for other great players such as Kim Clijsters & Maria Sharapova to grab the title. Clijsters is on a 17 matches winning streak for the US Open being retired at the time she won her first ever grand slam title in 2005 and coming back in 2009 to win it again. This might be an opportunity for her to grab her 3rd grand slam title in a row in the US Open. As for Sharapova it will be her 4th ever grand slam title if she wins it. She has made a remarkable comeback in tennis. Due to her injuries, her rankings has dropped and found herself crawling back to the TOP 10.

Kim Clijsters

Maria Sharapova

Other players to watch are Andy Murray with his ever improving game that made him beat Federer & Nadal in the US Open Series. Ana Ivanovic has made a stable & confident comeback to tennis reaching the 4th round facing Clijsters. Andy Roddick is seen stumbling these past few months. Caroline Wozniacki comes in as the top seed & also the underdog in this tournament and last but not least Venus Williams who is still in the run to capture her long awaited grand slam title of the year.

Andy Murray

Venus WIlliams

With the best players in the running in US Open, anything can happen & anybody could win the title as many are battling it out to grab the very last ever Grand Slam title of the year and to fight for the No 1 Ranking by the end of the year.

Merdeka Merdeka..

Last Tuesday it was Merdeka!!!! I was on holiday at that time. While some people in the office were working, i had the opportunity to take time off to rest & enjoy the holiday. 12am sharp i was actually driving in Shah Alam picking my brother up from college & i actually celebrated Merdeka all by myself in the car when colourful FIREWORKS came out.


On Tuesday itself i had a wonderful long sleep & at about 2.30i left to Muar with Sha & her family. We were going to 'buka puasa' in Muar as there was a mini gathering & many many foods were served. Sha's cousins Fifi & Yaya came along too with Fifi's boyfriend, Meon. At about 3.30pm we arrived Muar. That was really fast. An hour drive from KL to Muar.


When we arrived Muar, all of us went to the salon. Sha & I decided to trim our hair & coloured it. We spent more than 2 hours in the salon as Sha had the longest time to complete her hair dye. The lady trimmed her hair & as i could see all the hair on the floor could be glued up to make a wig for someone. As usual i had to force Sha to pick a colour for my hair.


At about 7pm we arrived the place for 'buka puasa'. The SATAY is amazing. It is so much better than Satay Kajang. It is so thin & tiny, that u get so addicted eating satay. U'll be eating more & more & without u realizing it, u actually have eaten 20 STICKS of Satay. DAMN..

CLEANING DAY

Today i actually finished work around 4pm. I was sooo excited as the weekend is around the corner. I guess coz everyone is tired & exhausted especially those who are fasting. For me i become less progressive at work. I get sleepy & tired, I actually fell asleep at work a few times.


When i came back home around 4.45pm, my brother picked me up from work. Congrats to him for getting his driving license so he can drive me to work everyday. Later part of the night Sha, me & the others gathered in Pappa Rich for drinks & dessert. Around 11pm the CLEANING DAY started where everyone decided to help me out clean up my house.


Imagine living in a Bungalow just me & my brother. It is quite frustrating trying to manage a huge house all by yourself. TIRING. So me, Sha, Sofia, Toin, Lala, Fifi (Sha's cousin) & Meon started cleaning up the house & their last pit stop was my room. My room is out of control with papers & books lying around on the floor. My room has been in a mess for a long time & even though I did try to clean it a few months back, i just needed everyone to help me out as my room is big & it can get out of control anytime.


FINALLY it's SQUEAKY CLEAN..

Vampire Sucks : Movie Review

Finally the wait is over as I got to watch the premiere screening of Vampire Sucks yesterday. Lucky for me, i got to leave early from work at around 5pm. I thought i was going to be stranded in the office till 6pm sharp. I was so hungry & i couldn't function. People always say during 'puasa' month u tend to put on more weight but not in my case as i lost a lot of weight and i realize that through my working pants. It gets loose these days.

Back to the movie, it's where Twilight meets GAGA.. There were scenes that really made me laugh out so loud as it was clearly a spoof of Twilight. They had Black Eyed Peas impersonators, Edward the vampire being GAGA-FIED. It was more focused towards the girl, the vampire & the werewolf. Even though i didn't find it that funny compared to Scary Movie, but it was worth watching as they bring spoofs to another level and different as it was more of a Twlight parody with mixtures of Jersey Shore impersonators & a few clips of Alice In Wonderland.

At times it was not as funny as it was supposed to be but anything that makes fun of Twilight, i would watch it as i'm not a huge fan of Twilight. Bella is actually Becca in the movie but Edward the vampire & Jacob the werewolf portrayed the same exactly like the Twilight installment. Most of them were about the same characters in Twilight. Just a few that were put in as an addition to spike up & make the movie funnier.

Mamee Sllrrrp HUNTING!!!!

This weekend i managed to go for groceries to stock up on some food stuff and without fail Mamee Sllrrrp was one of the main priorities when stocking up. I actually went to TMC in Bangsar as I'm so used to going there.


I pickep up different flavours of Mamee Sllrrrp like i was shopping for clothes or DVDs. Hehe. I went crazy for a moment choosing almost every different flavours i see on their shelves. What I like about Mamee Sllrrrp so much that I find it very attractive not to only me but also buyers were because of the packaging. They have it in many many colours such as Blue, Green, Black, Red & Orange.
The flavours of Mamee Sllrrrp is satisfying as there is Chicken, Curry, Asam Laksa & Xtra Pedas. I bought a few packets & also cups of different flavour. This shall be my companion throughout my fasting period. I'll definitely stock up more and more once I managed to finish all of it because without me realizing I bought too many of it and that it might last me till Hari Raya celebration.
