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".
