All right, got to get some beauty sleep now.

Shall start blogging after 2nd Jan. Nights!

Tschao! Auf wiedesehen =]

The Treasure Hunter 刺陵




Watched it last night. Starring Jay Chou, Lin Chilin, Chen Daoming & Eric Tsang.


Brief synopsis:
In the northwest desert where countless prosperous dynasties have flourish and fallen, there is rumour of a buried treasure of unbelievable riches. A group of mysterious guardians have kept the map to the location of the treasure safe, until a fierce rivalry erupts. A notorious international crime group, The Company hunt down the map keepers and before they manage to secure it, the keeper passes the map to a young chivalrous man Ciao Fei (Jay Chou). Ciao Fei is forced to give up the map to save the live of his mentor's daughter Lan Ting (Lin Chi Ling). Teaming up with Hua Ding Bang (a famous archaeologist) and Lan Ting they embark on a dangerous journey to recover the map and fight to protect the ancient treasure.


What I think about it after watching a.k.a. review:
Story line is rather plain. They could have added in more"sparks" between Chilin and Jay. Give more explanations on the mysteries. This movie gave the same impression when I first watch Twilight, it's like the actors could have done more, like there's something missing... But this movie is definitely better than Twilight!


Should I (you) watch?
Unless you have no other movie to watch in the cinemas any more, why not?! haha

Old granny stole my MNG

Old Granny enjoys...
Today's my rest day! So as usual I "work" with my laptop at the dining area, until I heard some noise...

At first I thought my brother is back from his randomly planned Penang trip, so I just let it be. Then I remembered him saying he would be back only tomorrow. (Anyway, who would be back home early from a vacation?! Doesn't make sense right?) Being the investigative me (hehe), I tip-toed to the living room and start seeing whether there's anyone at my front door, then the gate, then my rabbit (just to check whether he's still in his cage, he's getting smarter each and everyday), then to my Big-O-Mango tree.

Here's a little history of my Big-O-Mango tree:

  • It's a favourite spot for people of different races, and definitely attracts anyone about any age. Even those pregnant ladies rang the door bell asking for unripe mango, says it's good for their pregnancies. 
  • It's not only climbed by me and my cousins. (get what I mean?)
  • It contributes some furniture to my Barbies (hehe... those good ol' days)
  • It sometimes like to snatch the children's kites.
  • It's a perfect shelter from the sun to my rabbit, sometimes those nenek (after walking from who knows where)
  • Inhabited by squirrels and yellow birdies.
  • Contributes some of its twigs to Greeny (iguana we used to rare)
  • It's fruits are sweet, if it's unripe we make colek (something like rojak) with it.
  • Our family get to drink freshly blended mango 芒果西米露 once a while.

So yeah, back to the main topic, I saw this orange T shirt nenek (means granny in Malay), wearing her sarung, greyish hair, holding a pipe with a twig shaped like a fork in it. Her first attempt to get the mango failed, so she fixed her self-made tool by searching thru my neighbour's bin. 





There were lots of vehicles passing by at that time, so she changed her strategy a little, went to my another neighbour's bin and slowly search thru it, to see if there are any loots.

And there you go... back in action again. Start fixing her prototype. Eventually she sat on the road, as there were lots of motorbikes and people walking pass again. 
No one thought that it's suspicious, come on! An old nenek, what can she do? Brew your rabbit?!

Finally, coast is clear... 
I think she's like: Yay, hari ini ada buah makeh... (yay, there's fruits to eat today)
And I'm like: No wonder we have so little mangoes this time round, she has been frequenting our Big-O-Mango tree.


"Victory pose"- a little like Mulan, don't you think?

Nenek happily walking away with her loots.


(p/s: sorry for the blur pics, camera can't support such a crime, nono I mean my phone camera sucks... yea yea)

You may ask why I did not stop her. Well, if she's younger, I would definitely go out there and stop her. And I think I might have tears in my eye, if I were in her shoes. So nenek, buat masa ini... you menang! 


I would like to present her with an Oscar award!!! She's really good at it, knowing her looks and actions will not let anyone  be suspicious about.

One thing she will never know is that I've captured pictures on her, and she's on the internet! =D

Avatar (2009)



Watched Avatar yesterday. I regretted not watching it in 3D. There's so much to learn from this movie. Here's why:

It's like the Homo sapiens used their superb Science & Technology to turn themselves into one of the living things in Pandora(another world). Main purpose is to obtain the priceless mineral for themselves. As usual, a little romance is in, a little conflict with their own species too(for this movies, it occurs in both species).

Life in Pandora is so much more carefree. The Na'vi's (those Pandorias) style of living is so much the same as how we humans live centuries ago. They are about twice the height of a human being, blue in colour, have a tail which can connect to any living things. You know, like neurons and their synapses, pretty cool!

There's one part I like most, where the featured Na'vi actress, Neytiri, mentioned about we borrowed energies from the earth, and one day all of us have to return it back to earth. It's like nothing is permanent, one day it might be gone.

I think Jake Sully (the guy in the Avatar, you'll know when you watch =]) has a really strategic plan too. He has no right to speak up in front of the Na'vis, due to some occurrence, thus he went to "connect" with Toruk, a well respected phoenix-dragon-dinosaur-like flying creature. And with immediate effect, the Na'vis start bowing down to him and he led them into war with the humans. Isn't it true, without having power, without sufficient capabilities & knowledge, without significant results, no one would even listen to you, even if you do it every single day.

I think the producer wants us to start appreciating the greens around us too!
There are so much difference in both world...

Anyway, what are you guys waiting for? Go grab a ticket and start watching!

Here's the trailer:

Transparency



How I wish everything is transparent...
Nothing to hide about...
No secrets...

Yet that's always the other way round right?!
For the betterment of life I guess~

A Soul to Soul Connection

I always think all souls could connect without verbal communication, as actions say it all.

It's like when I look into my rabbit eyes, he knows it's time for him to return into the cage, thus hop in happily.

This true story about this man called Jeff and the bald eagle, Freedom, proves that all these connections do occur. Please take your time reading it!

Definitely a good read! I promise! =]

Here's the link

Here's an excerpt:

.... When he took Freedom out of her flight, she did something she had never done before: She extended her wings and wrapped them around him.
The circle of healing was now complete.
