The Expendables


At first sight, I thought it is a typical dull, dark action movie with all the killings and tortures and so on. Only thing is that this movie has more muscle guys than any other movies (XD ). However, a newspaper article changed my mind, made me wanting to watch this movie and so I did. I went with my cousin who wanted to watch it as well and brought along my family( all female except my cousin...hahaha...).

As soon as the movie begins, I felt darkness. Pirates, hostages, guns and tortures. When our tough guys made their appearance, it felt like a SWAT team of 6..hahaha..They are all well dressed by means of proper bulletproof vests, caps ( or something like that..don't know what it's called), heavy firearms, night goggles and so on. You can definitely tell that these are the pro s.

As expected, not long after they tried to negotiate, bullets started to fly around with my heart beating hard along with the shooting sounds. It did not take long for the team of 6 to take down the pirates almost twice of them or maybe more. Greatest thing of all is that even though they shoot fast ( super fast ), they did not even harmed the hostages they were to rescue. Their aiming is really something. ( admire...XD ). Then, something unexpected happened. Suddenly there was a faint buzzing sound and it was actually a text (SMS). LOL. In the middle of the mission getting a text!! Really superb!! XD

This is the reason why I wanted to watch this action, thriller movie. ( A lot of bullets flying around, explosives, bodies, hands chopped off...If you are afraid of these kind of scenes, better don't watch it.) There are actually humors in it. I really like to watch how the tough guys give in a sense of humor. It somehow makes me feels like they are just like us, just humans. I can also feel their friendship, their bond with each other and enjoying doing things for each other. They teased, they laughed, they get together just like any of us which make me feel warm. hehe...

My favorite character would be Ying Yang, starred by Jet Li. He is the smallest and the best at kung fu ( of course!). His character is interesting too. Ying Yang is always teased being the small guy and he is obviously not flattered 'bout it. Who would? XD Funniest of all is that he is always babbling about getting more money. "I want more money." is what I can remember the most.XD The excuses he made for why he want more money are absolutely funny too! Basically it evolves him being small. LOL. Besides that, I think Jet Li has some kind of an attraction. Look at the poster above, he might be the smallest, but he has the imposing manner that does not lose to any of the big guys. My eyes always fall on him every time I look at the poster.

Here are some fun quotes from the movie. Hope you enjoy them! I know you will. XD

Barney Ross: [from trailer]
[in the middle of a mexican standoff, a faint buzzing sound can be heard]
Barney Ross: What's that?
Lee Christmas: I'm getting a text.
Barney Ross: Excuse me?
(imagine them holding the firearms pointing at the pirates and saying that he's getting a text with a straight face...lol)

Trench: Well, I'm busy right now. So give this job to my friend here. He loves playing in the jungle, right?
Barney Ross: [sarcastically] Right.
Mr. Church: [Uncertain] That's right.
Trench: [to Barney] Hey, how about dinner?
Barney Ross: Yeah, when?
Trench: In a thousand years?
Barney Ross: Too soon.
[Trench walks off]
Mr. Church: [Confused; about Trench] What's his fucking problem?
Barney Ross: He wants to be president.

Trench: [from trailer] Only an idiot would do this job.
Barney Ross: How much?
Trench: Like I said.

Trench: Have you been sick? You've lost weight.
Barney Ross: Whatever I've lost you've found, pal.

Gunnar Jensen: [about to fight Ying Yang] What do you wear, size 3? Bring it, "happy feet"!
( happy feet the penguin!! XD)

Hale Caesar: [from trailer] Great, they got a small army. What have we got?
[looks at Yin Yang]
Hale Caesar: Four and a half men.
[Everyone but Yin Yang laughs]
Yin Yang: Not so funny.

Hale Caesar: [Yang is all shaken up from his fight with Gunnar] What happened to you?
Yin Yang: It's too sad to talk about.

Yin Yang: I need a raise.
Barney Ross: Say what?
Yin Yang: I want it for my son.
Lee Christmas: Since when did Yin Yang get a family?
Yin Yang: [Deadpan] You don't ask, I don't tell. ( he doesn't really has one...hahaha)

Yin Yang: It's difficult.
Barney Ross: What?
Yin Yang: My life is difficult. I need more money.
Barney Ross: Why that?
Yin Yang: I work harder than the rest.
Barney Ross: No, you don't.
Yin Yang: Yes, I do! Everything is harder for me. When I'm hurt, wound is bigger, 'cause I'm smaller. When I travel I need to go farther.
Barney Ross: I know, because you're smaller, right?
Yin Yang: Yes.
[pause]
Yin Yang: I need more money.
Barney Ross: I know, you told me.
( LOL!!!!!!!!!! What kind of a lame reasons are those!!! XD)

Barney Ross: [In the middle of a car chase] Get out there!
Yin Yang: Why me?
Barney Ross: Because you're smaller!
( whoops...backfired!! XD)

Sandra: What's your name?
Lee Christmas: [points to himself] Buda...
Lee Christmas: [points to Barney] ... Pest
Sandra: Come with me.
[walks away]
Barney Ross: [slowly turns to Lee; deadpan] Budapest...

Barney Ross: What the hell's he doing?
Lee Christmas: Hanging a pirate.
Barney Ross: Don't be ridiculous. Gunnar! What are you doing?
Gunnar Jensen: Hanging a pirate.
Toll Road: That's seriously demented.

Lee Christmas: [from trailer] Are you crazy? You could've killed me! ( he's bald....lol)
Barney Ross: You're welcome!

Gunnar Jensen: Warning shot!
Barney Ross: Gunnar don't!
Gunnar Jensen: [Fires RPG at the pirate and blows him in half] Whoops! Aimed a little low. ( eww...you can actually see the body blown into half..)

Yin Yang: [after getting cornered by Garza's men; referring to Barney's ring] Your lucky ring stinks.

Lee Christmas: What's he sayin'?
Hale Caesar: He said we're dead, with an accent!

Lee Christmas: [after beating up Lacy's abusive boyfriend and his friends at a basketball rink; and after deflating a basketball with a knife on his chest] Next time, I'll deflate all your balls, friend. ( wuuuuuu~~ XD)

Gunnar Jensen: [Barney has just shot Gunnar after nearly killing Yang] You shot me.
Barney Ross: You were gonna kill him.
Gunnar Jensen: I was only trying to scare him.
Barney Ross: Don't put that on me, you never really liked him.
Gunnar Jensen: [Gasping] Hey, am I dying?
Barney Ross: Shot three inches above the heart.
Gunnar Jensen: [Groans] I'll take that as a yes. ( no...he didn't die...=.= )

The Shopaholic Me...

Shopaholic....maybe I'm yet to be at that level but nothing better. As I grew, I find myself loving to shop more and more. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm buying or even has anything to buy, I just like to walk into the shops and at least look around. Only when I'm not alone will I try out the stuffs..>.<>

I think I like shoes. Every time I passed by a shoes shop, I'll definitely have an urge to go in and try everything out, especially the cool trendy ones, they're just too great!! ( and so as the price XD ). As for clothings, I'm actually fine with it. Of course I like trendy clothes, but I just don't really know how to appreciate certain trends..haha... Besides, I've been looking the way I am now for like 8 or 9 yrs?? Just can't make myself to change too much, too soon, gotta do it s~l~o~w~l~y~ hahaha..

Sometimes I just envy those who just has the money to buy whatever they want without even needing to worry. [See it, hmm....quite nice ah...., tried it,hmm.....looks good on me, feels good too....OK. Salesgirl, I'm taking this.] Ahh...how I wish I could be like that too.....XD That would be years from now or maybe never... >.<>

Ahh....what I've just said are merely just day dreams of mine....if only I am a celebrity or something....XD ( continue to dream . . . . )

Miss you...

Can't believe we've been separated for 7months. In these 7months, I've experienced a lot with my new friends. However, no matter how much time I spend with them, I always remember the times we've been through together. I miss you.

Through thick and through thin, you have always been supporting me and cheering for me. Even when you were clueless on what I was upsetting upon and no idea how to comfort me, you were there, by my side, quiet and worried. Sometimes you will try your hardest to comfort me. Even though those words were silly, they made me felt better and stopped my tears. You had no idea, those words are what made me keep walking towards the future, by my two own legs, firm and steady, with confident and pride.

You are the craziest, and the happiest I have ever met. Being with you enlightens my day and my life. Everyday you made me smile and laugh till my jaw is tired, till I shed my tears, till I lost my voice. Every time, every moment I'm with you, I felt blessed, blessed to have you entered my life and prayed you will never walk out.

I am a human, a girl with flaws. Thank you. Thank you for being with me all these times. Thank you for your patience, for your tolerance and for your understanding. I can never repay but to give my all to treat you the same way you have treated me, with love. I am not a person who can express her feelings well. I hope you can feel the love, take it and keep it. I will be pleased.

I just want you to know, I LOVE YOU. My dear "family".

A Terrible Incident

3rd August 2010, 22:00 In my room (downstairs)

I was on Facebook when I suddenly heard a weird voice followed by a car horning and my dog barking. I tried to ignore it but curiosity took over me. Worrying that something might have happened, I went out to the door. I saw a car and a motorbike at the left side of my house. The trees blocked my sight and I was only able to see the back of the car while the motorbike was on the ground.

It happened so fast. One second I heard a loud motorbike engine sound and the next second I saw a guy fleeing on the motorbike I saw. Only then I realised, it's a robbery!! That weird sound was a lady's scream! The car horns were to attract people's attention and tried to scare the robber away!

A car and a motorbike passed by and I presume they saw the incident too. The 2 passengers on the bike went over to that poor lady and I heard her starting to cry. 1 of them ran up the streets and came back ( not sure what he was trying to do) and the other stayed by the poor lady.

Since my grandmother doesn't allow us to go to the front, I went back into my room and wrote on Facebook. A little after 5 past 10pm, I went out again and they are gone. Perhaps they went to report to the police.

Seeing the incident really alarmed me. People these days can do whatever it takes to succeed even on robbery. It surprises me that someone who is on the road, in the car can be robbed too. My father said that robber pretended to be knocked down by the lady's car and thus they have to stopped by the road side. When the lady came down to check things out, he took the chance and robbed her. Such tactics! ( thought the level of truth is uncertain 'cause my father is pretty good at "making up stories"..but this time it seems logical though.. that's the only way that robber could get to that poor lady.. :(

Well, I hope that everyone will be even more careful and alarmed whenever you are out alone and even with accompanists. As I said, people these days are too savage and it doesn't matter if you are alone or NOT! So everyone, please always be alarmed especially if something smells wrong or fishy! BE SAFE!!

May that lady be unharmed.

My old pals.....

For the past month, I have been sending messages like "Hey XXX! When will you be back to Ipoh???Miss you....XD" or "Welcome back to Ipoh!! Want go sing k or watch movie?? XD" bla bla bla. haha..Either that or receiving messages like "Ah ma/Ah po!!! I when when when will finish exam!! When when when will be back..let's go gai gai!!" ( that's not exactly the way we said it..but the meaning is similar...I changed the sentences a little because the grammar we used is horrible to be posted here...hehe..). Therefore, for the past month ( even now), I have been busy replying or sending messages and planning for outings..haha..

Now that I look back, I think I like mid-year around June and July. Friends will be back from the far away Sarawak, a bit further is Singapore, even further the Australia. (=.=) So how can I not like this period of time?? However, it's a pity that this time the 5 of us aren't able to gather. Those from the Singapore and those from Sarawak and Australia have to miss one another, though I am able to meet everyone.^^ Advantage of staying in Ipoh! XD

Time flies. It's already our second year of college/ universiti. Meaning we have not been studying together for two long years. Even so, I'm glad to say that we have not change despite of enrolling ourselves in a new environment and meeting new friends. Though we have not been seeing one another for months, I'm surprise that we can keep on chatting non-stop as soon as we meet as if we have never been separated! hahaha....amazing......XD I guess I have to thank the technology for that. Without SMS, MSN and Facebook that allow us to keep connecting with one another, I don't think our friendship will be able to be the same as before.

Lastly, I truly hoped that our friendship will last till eternity ( a bit err...XD) and we'll never forget anyone of us.
Family Forever!! Love you all!!! ^^

FIFA World Cup

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets are, exaliftin , as we lose our inhabition,
Celebration its around us, every nation, all around us .........

Is this familiar to you? If not, it's just that you don't know the lyrics, not that you haven't heard of this song before. Well, this is the 2010 FIFA World Cup theme song after all. You must have heard it before, even if it's just a few lines ( that's me..haha). While watching television, tuning in the radio, sometimes even in the shopping mall, you could hear it. Honestly, I can't get what the lyrics are by just listening to it, only when I'm looking at the lyrics can I understand it. I even once thought that it is in the African language..XP

Enough of the song, let's talk about the games instead. I'm not a big fan of football aka soccer, but I do enjoy watching it. The first FIFA game I've watched was the ENG v. USA . I even stayed up till 2am to watch it ( which ended at about 4.30am >.<) Frankly, I just wanted to watch Beckham play. hehe....One, of course is because of his LOOKS...haha.. Second, is that I've never watched him play and wanted to watch his famous kick( I don't know the name XP) and guess what! We were both born on the same date! May 2nd!! hahahahahahahahaha....... ^^ Oh well, too bad he couldn't play due to his injuries, but I do hope he'll recover soon and get to play again. ^^

After this game, I've watched a few other games too, but the the most memorable one is the PROTUGAL vs. NORTH KOREA. Cristiano Ronaldo!!! hahaha...just watching him play made me laughed, he's soooooooo cute! Even though he was not able to get a goal, he always assisted his teammates. What makes me laughed is that he's always smiling..haha... whether his team is able to goal or not, he'll smile..showing his perfect white teeth ( aww....XD). However, the funniest of all is the sixth goal Portugal scored. That goal was absolutely funny! I'm not a good describer so I'll just share the video here. LOL Even he himself couldn't believe it...." I smiled when I scored because it was a funny goal, the way it hit me on the neck." haha.... (loves his smile..... hehehehehehehehehee........)


Cristiano <span class=







Ok! Before I realised it, this has became really long..haha...hope you enjoy reading this and the games too!! See ya! ^^


Karate Kid!! WUHOO!!!!!

June...

Hello!!
It's been a while since I last updated my blog. It's not like I was busy, it's just laziness. :P Anyway, I just thought of coming up here and write a little something.
June, I believe it's a month most students dislike and yet looking forward to. Reason? It's the month where every student will have to crack their head, say bye bye to their entertainment ( not really I think, many still go to facebook it seems, and so do I :P ), and stick their faces to the book and STUDY. It's exam period! Who would like exams? Yet, we have no choice but to take them as they practically determine our future especially for us the college and uni students.
Then, why did I say it's a month we'll be looking forward to? Easy. 'Cause after exams...it'll be holidays and sem breaks!! wahahahaha...we can finally relax ourselves!! Also, it's time for pals and buddies to get together and chill out and I treasure those times dearly. :)
June, seems like a month that is very interesting as we have tension, stress and yet happiness and joy. Enjoy your month of June!!

HUH???

Hmm......I wonder.....why is it my posts cannot be commented?? My friend a.k.a ah lui ^^ , told me 'bout this matter saying that she had tried 5 or 6 times but to no avail....so am I. Ah lui said she faced this problem before and it took her a few days before she and her friends can comment on her blog again. Why is this so? Is it because it's a new blog?

Konichiwa!

Hello everyone!
This is my first blog and I hope I'll enjoy it. I did not intend to create a blog but my friends asked me to. I thought why not? Just try out, since they are all writing blogs and I have no obligation to write frequently.
Anyway, I don't think I'll be creative enough to have an interesting blog but I still hope everyone will be able to enjoy even just a little!
