Movie Marathon: Drag me To Hell & G. I. Joe

I had my first movie marathon for 2009, and also my first here in Sandakan. Yes ladies & gentleman, behold the truth, SANDAKAN has a cinema! Believe it or not, BELIEVE IT.

*exaggerating*

Usually I finish work @ 6.00pm. I'll reach my bachelorette pad at 6.10pm. Home is just 5 min away. (shweet aye?)... Was suppose to go for gym, but since I didn't charged up my mp3 player, so, I found the right excuse for me to skip gym. With that said, I couldn't resist the movie marathon date Astroboy proposed either. SO.... movie marathon it was, Drag me To hell & G. I Joe.

my reviews (like the rain cared...duh.)

Drag me to hell

Funnily, I hardly could remember how the movie starts (that bad?... yeap.)
Bad story cut short, Drag Me To Hell had the right sound effects, but bad acting plus weird kinda story line eventually dragged me to hell with it. Basically it's a voodoo shit story. If you're into stories about bomohs and whatever you call them, then I guess you'd be intrigued by it. If you're not then don't waste your Rm10 (you could get a bigMac).

The sound effects and the face of the creepy old witch looking women were good. I had a jump, so did Astroboy (lol). Imagine, How on earth could a mean medium or evil shit can be called a LAMIA? For crying out loud.... it would be better called Labia!!!. LOL. KIDDING. And, the worse part, that evil called Lamia is suppose to be an evil soul eater is portrayed as A GOAT?!! WTF? A GOAT!!! (but the goat was pretty creepy...) I think the director (plus the actors) were high on weed or hadn't got themselves laid. A GOAT bah! sheesh. The other part that I didn't get was, 20 minutes of the movie was about the lady trying to get rid of a BUTTON!!! shit. Maybe you should go and watch this movie, to witness its stupidity.

But, had a good laugh and few shockers. Out of 5 stars, I'll give it a 1.5 star. I've seen other stupid movies to top this one off.


G.I. Joe.

The movie that most boys has been waiting for.

I'll give it a 5 star for effects and the fighting scenes. Really impressed. Really seemed real, to me at least.

Choice of actors were good. Biased here though, due to Channing Tatum... (yummy...)

mm.... what else can I say, prolly I was expecting it to be anything less than dull. Due to initial expectations, I find it to be a bit er..... so-so. Not boring, but.... nothing great either. Unlike transformers. Guess I'm just not a fan.

Overall, not a bad choice.. RM10 was worth it.

Out of 5, I'll give it a 3.5... :)

There you go, my first reviews of movies.

What say you?

Little words, Big Meaning

It's been long 3 months since my last post. Pass recent months' events has been crazy, whimsical, and a rollercoaster!

It's weird when you think you're missing out on things, when actually it's really how u perceive the situation. So much had happen since the existence of Astroboy in my once gray life. People come and go in life. I believe each encounter has its meaning. Be it a person to change your views, be that person u just hate his guts or ego, a bitch that has a way of getting what she wants, be a friend... be a boyfriend, a husband... and the list goes. I'm still at a point at figuring "what is the meaning of this whole frenzy fiasco meeting?"

*rolling eyes*

It's mentally challenging my desire to stay above the pressure of finding the normality of the situation. A constant inner voice keeps reminding me "stop whatever you're doing".... yet, I still find myself crawling back to the dumpshit over and over again.

It's addicting.

I didn't post anything lately cause I had nothing to write but lousy stories about how lame my life currently is, except that it's a rollercoaster. ironic?



the lucky one,

Days In Sandakan

I'm very overwhelmed by the response from my little yet, supportive readers (which I appreciate so much for visiting my blog) on my previous post "10 things about AstroBoy".

It's an exciting feeling to know that there are actually some who reads my blog. Thank you again.
Many has been asking me about "AstroBoy"... "who is he?", "is he real?". I've been told to continue my post on "AstroBoy" again. Well, no promises. That's all. Well, maybe another post or two on AstroBoy? I'll think about it.

As some may know that I am now officially based in Sandakan (Lord knows how long I'll be stuck here). I've been back n forth from KK TO Kl to KK to KL again.. n KK n Sandakan , and honestly, it's a bit tiring I must say.

Not that I don't like to be living with my folks (missing home terribly actually), but, I think being a Capri, I love the freedom and the sense of independance living afar from home. AND, besides, it's thrilling everytime I get the chance to be back in Kota Kinabalu.

Today marks the 3rd month I've been in Sandakan the land of Orang Utan, Proboscis Monkeys, The land of Cheap food,booze and Seafood, the land where people are proud of their Giant Supermarket (I will tell you why in a bit),The land where road lights are scarce and full of shitty drivers around, last but not least, The land where places are called by "Miles" (found it rather bizzarely strange at first , but got the hang of it after a while. FYI, Mile 4 - Mile paling famous ni..)

Let me do a 5 things I like and Don't Like about Sandakan.

5 things I LIKE about Sandakan
1. Cheap Food
2. No traffic Jams
3. Cheap Booze
4. Not a busy and hectic town
5. (yet to be filled)

5 things I DON'T LIKE about Sandakan
1. Less choice of Food (I long for McD and Burger King, crave for Big Apple's Donuts)
2. No Shopping Malls (the VERY reason why do people of sandakan are very proud of the Giant Supermarket)
3. Boring (don't ask me why, wait till you get here)
4. CAR DRIVERS (shitty drivers everywhere, no sense of giving signals.)
5. Slow (drivers are slow, the way they walk are slow, traffic lights are slow, getting the electricity back after a blackout is slow)

There you go. My 5 things - Like and Don't like about Sandakan.

To my fellow Sandakan friends, please do no take any of these personally. Just merely an opinion, which I'm free to have. Right? Who bloody cares anyway.

As days goes by, I'm beginning to settle down and fit in into this little city. Never imagined I have survived my first 3 months in Sandakan. I thought I'd be gone before April. Haha.

To remember this very day, I'll try to write something special.

Days in Sandakan

RM50 on fuel,
2 stops,
a long bumpy 6 hours drive
A sunburnt right arm and an awful backache,
A car packed with stuffs,
Sandakan, here I am!

Long straight pitch dark roads,
Far U-Turns and excessive roundabouts,
Spent RM70, to learn your roads,
Sandakan, why do u have to be so far?

Early dawn, early dusk,
by 9 you're almost dead,
sandakan sandakan...
my heart sighs for Sandakan,
for the day it leaps with joy.
