1st Movies in UK Cinema

Don't judge me.

I know I have been in the UK for the past 1 over years but I am a very homey person in the sense that I don't spend much on clothes or entertainment like movies in the cinema. No doubt I spent money on food but food is essential in life no?

Anyway, yesterday night I finally had the chance to watch movies in the UK cinema. Honestly, the cinema is not much different from back home so there were no 'WOW' factors involved like how I felt when I went to the toy store in London. Now, that was WOW!

Last night was a very very exciting night. I did something kinda illegal =P
I borrowed a senior's unlimited movie card to buy ticket for free. I know it's wrong and hence the excitement. When Kepochi-the-Busybody bought the ticket, my heart were racing and I was so scared that we'll get caught! And when we entered the cinema, I had real hardcore palpitations and even tremor! Yes, I'm such a coward. Hey, I got palpitations even by looking at the edge of a white paper of my classmate's exam paper during a small test so shoot me!

Bourne Legacy


I have to admit, maybe due to the excitement and adrenaline rush from all the ticketing issue, I find the front part a wee bit slow. I know they were trying to explain and relate back to the previous Bourne movies and hence it was kinda draggy but towards the end, it was good. Compared to the previous Bourne movies, I think it lacks something, don't ask me what.

The Expendables 2


Now this movie is just hilarious, corny and has very funny lame script. There were a few parody scenes such as when Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared, catch phrases like 'I'll terminate your butt', 'I'll be back' etc just cracked me up. Chuck Norris appeared too and Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western theme song plays whenever he presented himself on screen. (Is it me or does Chuck Norris looks like Tim Allen? )
A few other catch phrases were there to laugh about too like 'yippie-kai-yay' from die hard and 'what's next? Rambo?' LOL.
I like what Bruce Willis said 'we all should be in the museum!'. Yes, you all should be, so that you guys will be remembered forever =)

Right, I felt that this movie is just so fake with all the blood bursting at each gun shot and I wondered how hundreds of men can't even aim and shoot at this 6 hugely build guys. You could have thought that with so much surface area to aim, they could have got scratched a little? Oh and sorry but I have to mention about Mr. Stallone's and Mr. Van Damme's make up, too much foundation perhaps? And why Jet Li only appeared in the beginning? Another thing to note, Liam Hemsworth as Billy Boy was a bit cute for this movie maybe? But I am not complaining because he reminds me of Legolas in Lord of the Ring =P

But in all honesty, I like and enjoyed the movie. It's nice to see all the old famous macho actors come together and remind us of how great they were back then =)

Movies on plane

I know someone is dying to read something outside the medicine life but too bad, I am still not in the mood to blog about things to let you read too much into me =P

Right, Movies on the A380 plane that I managed to watch in between my 40 winks.

1. The Avengers

Yes I know, I am so outdated and so late but hey, don't judge me. I was preparing for me exams and there were too much to watch on youtube! So how did I feel about this movie, honestly? It was just OK for me. Any particular character that I rooted for? Nil, Zilch, none. Somehow, this movie was not as good as what I expected. Note to oneself, never set an expectation if you wanna enjoy the show.
I'm still waiting for the movie that will make me go 'WOAH~' like how the 1st transformers did back in 2007.

2. Battleship


Yup, the movie with Rihanna in it. Well, I thought that Rihanna was acting just like herself. I've watched her on Norton Graham Show and I felt in the movie, she was just being herself or maybe she was also acting in the chat show and if she did, she's good then no? Overall, I felt it was quite interesting and I like the characters in the movie. As you know, I was leaving my homeland and should be feeling homesick and all but surprisingly, I did not cry nor teared up during the sad parts like when the brother died. Hmm, I wonder why. I love Liam Neelson and every time I see him, the famous quote from Taken will appear on my mind 'I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you' LOL

3. 50/50

There were tonnes of other movies to watch but I chose this based on Joseph Gordon -Levitt's face. From the poster, you can see and assume that he plays the lead character right? Yup, you guessed right. Anyway, it was interesting to watch him act as a cancer patient and how he cope with his life receiving treatment, watching his cancer friends die, talking to therapist, staying with a cheating girlfriend, having a friend who uses the phrase 'my best friend has cancer' to get laid etc and most of all, to have a perspective from a young cancer patient who did not see this coming. I have to say I paused to nap for a few times but I finished the movie and that got to mean something right?

4. Date Night

Yes I know, this movie is ancient (2 years old ) but 2010 was my huge exam year! Anyway, typical stupid jokes, cheesy lines yet an entertaining movie. Having Steve Carell and Tina Fey together was brilliant! Totally enjoyed the show =)

I think I slept a lot hence only got to watch 4 movies...or did I miss some out. It's OK, it's old movies anyway =P

Right, I'm down with runny nose thanks to the weather (but it was so sunny and windy this afternoon =/) and hopefully the movie and Japanese food plan later will work. Fingers crossed =)

Complicated

Things have been complicated.

I am going to retreat into my comfort zone again...

Remember me mentioning about 'gloom soon'? Well, it's more like 'gloom in the morning' because every morning, when I wake up at 1ish 2am, I go to youtube and watch tear jerking stuff like the petronas advert on Hari Raya (about the deaf and blind kid) and CNY (Sek Fan) then today, I was watching the tribute to Stephan Gately. Gosh...I don't know how did I end up there.

Anyway, class starts today. Hopefully everything will go on smoothly....hopefully...

For the complicated things, I hope it won't occupy my mind that much...just pray hard that things will be fine in the end...

1st day back...


Should I tell how great, cozy and nice was the A380 plane? Should I talk about how stressful was it to check in at KLIA or should I talk about how I have no homesick feeling or no tears involved in this journey?

Well, it's 4am and I have been up since 1ish 2am because I slept at 8ish pm.

What am I feeling now? I am not sure.
Homesick? Not really
Missing anyone? Well...not that much but we're all talking so it's not too bad
Happy that I'm back? Yup, love how cooling and clean the air is here compared to the hazy, hot and dirty KL

But in all honesty, it doesn't feel like I'm home.
New housemates, new place to sleep aka couch in the living room, new atmosphere in the house, can I still call it home again? It'll take time to let everything fall in but at this current moment, I don't like how I am feeling.

I have this nagging feeling that I am going into a period of gloom very very soon since I will be moving about every 8 weeks, Jene can't handle big change that often. and I'll need to learn to settle down as soon as possible.

But you know what, I am going to keep thinking and being positive. There's no point feeling gloomy when its not even gloomy here now. Think of Happy care bears, rainbows...
Ponies, unicorn....


=)

Things have definitely changed.
Seniors are all working and most of them went back to M'sia or Sg.
My fellow batchmates are going to be sent to different parts of Scotland and will I take the effort to keep in touch?
I will be alone most of the time with the fellow unknown local students at that specific part of Scotland for 8 weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to find friends among them like how I found mine among my groupmates.
I'll be a final year student and most probably won't be let off so easy when I make a mistake.

I really hate don't like all these uncertainties.

How I wish I have Hermione's time turner.....

FB stuff that makes sense

Just a few pictures that I saw on FB that I could relate =)


On relationship status...
Oooo, loving SINGLE =)

Happens everyday at UK =)


On texting...
 I really really hate slow texters especially those that are in the middle of a conversation with me.


And there is only a few who actually does that. I guess it's due to coincidence =)

Love it when I see texts on my phone when I wake up =)



And hence my phone is switched off. It's time to move on...

Happens to me all the time....=/

 Ya, used to be....


On feelings... 
Happens all the time and only a handful understands.

Get the heads up dude!

Yup, reality sucks. Happened a lot of times and still is disappointing.


On friends...
 Used to be used.

On tears...
 The reason of my tears last Dec.


On me... 
And you obviously don't know me.

Shit, I think I'm going to burst into tears tomorrow night. Dang, I'm tearing up now. SHIT!
