Time bomb tits

A few of my movies had finished downloading last night, just as I had hoped. Woot! At least I won't be bored for the next couple of days.

I'd just watched one of them, Driving Lessons. It's such a quirky movie. And I just enjoy movies set in the UK cause then the characters would talk with that British or Scottish accent. Lol.

My favorite was Evie. She's is so vulgar, and sneaky, and well.. quirky. Loved her. Kudos to Julie Walters! But that slouch! My gawd! She could pull off acting as the Hunchback of Notre Dame with that. I really don't understand how people could stand slouching like that. Just makes me wanna smack it straight!

By now you must be wondering why the title? Right? You see there's this scene where Evie and Ben (Rupert Grint) had a small tiff. To cut the explanation short, Evie then said she had an untreatable condition, so Ben begs that she explains. And she said:

"To spare you the details, my tits have turned into time bombs. Doctors gave up treating me last year and my surgeon says it's the worst case he's ever seen."


So yeah. Haha!

Okay. I am freakin' starving and my mum's bought us all Mee Jawa for dinner. Yay! Gonna go eat. Bye.

Driving Lessons



Seventeen years of living in an absurdly conservative and traditional household with his highly-strung and overbearing mother and quiet, mild mannered vicar father have taken its toll on young Ben. However, Ben's world is turned upside down when he's employed by an eccentric retired actress Evie. Vulgar, dignified and childish all at once, she certainly is not the kind of person Ben expected when job-hunting. Evie enters Ben's life with a cataclysmic force, whisking him away on a series of adventures from camping, to performing Shakespeare in the garden, to attending the Edinburgh festival--where he finally meets a girl much nearer his own age. Evie's unconventional and often downright bizarre behavior challenges Ben's beliefs, and forces him to confront the very idea of who he wants to be.

Noons on snooze

GAAARRGH!!! My life is officially boring! For most of the past month, I've been bumming at home from noon till night. All day I'm either on the telly or on my laptop.

That's what I get for only having to work less than 4 hours every morning. Okay, time for a little boasting, just bare with me. Hehe. I look after 3 year olds at my mum's kindy from 8am till 11.45pm and I'm paid RM500 a month. If that ain't easy money, I dunno what is.

So anyways I do have tons of fun with the kids then, but after lunch, it's a 100% pure boredom! At least the telly's bearable (that is if there are decent programs on), but after surfing websites and Facebook-ing for several hours there really is nothing more to do. Plus I do that every day. So yeah, of course it gets boring. And I really never expected the internet to ever get boring, you know.

Now I'm just counting on my movie downloads to save me. But they're taking forever! A couple of them are almost done, though. If they're done by tonight then I can watch them tomorrow. Yes! Fingers crossed.

Weapon X

Just got back from Cineleisure. Was there with Adrian, Christy, Amber and Steph to watch the long awaited Wolverine movie. I was stoked all week! Was literally counting down the days. Serious.

And man, if I say so myself, the movie was some good shit! I love action-packed movies. More so when the movie's based on one of my favorite comics.

One thing's for sure, this movie really cleared up some things I'd previously wondered or never understood. So now I know. Plus some of them were pretty shocking actually. Like the fact that Wolverine and Sabertooth are real-life brothers. I was like: Shit! So didn't expect that.

Anyways, we also had dinner at TGIF, which was awesome! I love the food at Fridays. How I wish its prices are a tad cheaper, though.

EDIT (May 5, 2009 - 11.30 PM)

ZOMG!!! I just found out from IMDB's synopsis that, considering this is the last X-Men movie, there's actually a bonus scene after the credits! Daymn!

Well, click here if you wanna check out what happened. Just scroll all the way down to the end of the synopsis, brace yourself and read the last couple of sentences. Shocked?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine



X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Logan a.k.a. Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth), and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

Sun and Suds

Bloody hell! It's a fcuking holiday for crying out loud! And it's during holidays that people who can afford to, would sleep in cause they'd purposely slept late the night before.

But no! In came the brat this morning to wake me up.. on mummy's orders! And why?? Cause she wants me to wash the damn car! Plus it was around 10-ish at the time and the sun was already up and blazing. I have enough tan lines, thank you very much!

Man, this is one of the reasons why I hate having my own car sometimes. Especially to have to wash it on your own, and in my case in the fcuking hot sun. It's pretty hard work.

But I did the damn washing anyways. Cause if I didn't, I'll never hear the end of it from the mother.. oh wait, and the father too. Welcome to my damn life!

By the way, Happy Labor Day!

EDIT (11:16 AM):

The brat just came in and said we're going for high tea. Hmm.. guess that's nice enough to make me forget this morning's incidents. Gotta go get ready. Bye.

When sibling rivalry turns ugly

I'd just watched The Other Boleyn Girl on DVD, and man that Anne Boleyn is such a ruthless biatch! I know this movie's based on a novel, but most of the facts and characters had actually existed a long, long time ago. So hmm.. I wonder whether the real Anne Boleyn was that bitchy.

And by the way I think the king should be renamed. He should be called King Horny the VII! What a horny bugger he is eh?

But anyhoo, the movie was pretty good. And the thing I like about this kinda movies is the way the characters speak: the sophistication and the perfectness of their English.. wow!

The Other Boleyn Girl



Two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious Father and Uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England. Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life--and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the King. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him two illegitimate children. But Anne, clever, conniving and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the King. Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a King--one driven by ambition, the other by true affection--England is torn apart.

Dead or alive?

Daymn. I have to stop being such a lazy bum. I admit.. I do have the habit of not updating my blog for the longest time, then I'd start updating again like crazy but soon after the updating goes back to a halt. And so the cycle repeats itself.

So yeah, here I am bringing my blog back from the dead once more. Poor thing has started to rot. Sad case, I know. But I'm determined not to send it back to the grave ever again. I'll make it work somehow.

Double screenings

I freakin' got to go for two movie press screenings today! Woot!

First was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at GSC, Mid Valley. Loved the story, the characters and whatnot.. but to me the storyline was a tad draggy . The movie's based on a short story but it's 2 plus hours long la!

Why can't they do that for Harry Potter or something?? It's those thick-ass-novel-based-movies that deserve to be filmed that long and detailed. I so wouldn't mind sitting in a freezing cinema and holding in my urge to pee for those kind of movies. They deserve it.

Then again, whatever it is, I won't deny that Benjamin Button was a good movie. The concept of the story is quite genius, even if I say so myself.

I found this picture online:

I think it's cool, no?

The next movie's thanks to Nicky Dees. Here's the story:

Nicole got the tix for The Pink Panther 2 press screening and was supposed to ajak her other friend who has been dying to watch it. The girl didn't pick up her calls so she decided with me instead. Funny thing is the girl messaged Nicky during dinner:

Hey. Saw your missed calls. What's up?

But Nicky thought "What she doesn't know won't kill her." And so I still was the one to go with her. Yay!

So the movie, as expected, was fcuking hilarious! Steve Martin's awesome, I tell you.. awesome! I like Insp. Clouseau's cacat-ed French accent but seriously there was a point in the movie where I really wanted to smack him for being such an blundering idiot! Ish..

Oh and I didn't expect at all that Aishwarya Rai would be in the cast. Shocker! She was pretty good though.

I love my job.. and Nicky for being such a nice friend!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button



The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is adapted from the 1921s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pink Panther 2



Insp. Jacques Clouseau, the legendary French Officer of the Law, who single-handedly saved the priceless Pink Panther Diamond, has been working outside the museum where the diamond is on display writing parking tickets for the last 6 months. Chief Inspector Dreyfus assigned this duty to his bumbling and inept police officer to get him out of his hair. Recently, treasures from around the world have been stolen by the Tornado, and an international dream team of detectives is being assembled to capture him, Clouseau being one of them. As soon as Clouseau joins the team, the Pink Panther Diamond is stolen by the Tornado. Now Clouseau must not only capture the Tornado, but save the diamond again.
