Hello guys, so the main reason why im blogging is because i have this sudden urge to blog. Secondly i just wanted to do another movie review, this time it's My one and only and i watched them in Star Movies.
First off, this movie is about a teenage boy living in the 1950s recounting his journey from New York to California, specifically Hollywood with his mother and older brother and along the way they encountered challenges and heartaches. I personally like the plot very much, it's simple and original though predictable at times, ye itt engages me to actually sit through everything and pretty much watch the whole thing. Im not really a fan of Renee Zelwegger partly because i am not very familiar with her work but she did a great job in playing a witty, independent-ish woman and a mother who knows nothing about her child. sad, but it's really entertaining to watch how she discovers a lot about her sons from their road trip.
Im going to have to admit that im not an expert in American culture particularly before my time but she did a great job is portraying a women in the 50's.
The movie has this sombre feeling to it but it didn't affect you emotionally, maybe because of the way the movie was shot but idk. The movie was abit slow but ironically the story progresses rapidly, i just don't feel bored watching it, it's a good 'feel good movie' in a sense that at the end of the movie you had a positive experience of watching it. Apart from that, this movie eventhough it's told from the perspective of a teenage boy but at the same time it also has that feeling of romance and glamour. Then again, America in the 50's is uber glamorous.
Don't they? I'll leave you non-existent readers with that.

Tradition.
Tradition, according to dictionary.com means the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc., from generation to generation, esp. by word of mouth or by practice. But what does it really mean? Im here not to talk about the Bruneian tradtion, oh no, non of those please. For me tradition means the customs or things we do with our family and friends, something we love to do with them. It has come to my realization that me and my group of friends have a tradition of our own. Nothing like those you see on TV though or in movies where we would have movie nights and such. What's our tradition? Lunch and dinner out. Yes it's our little thing, unlike many teenagers these days that would rather walk around the mall or watch a movie we actually have dinner. We chat during dinner, we get to know ourselves even more while enjoying a lovely meal, we would eat and then we would spend hours on end talking, cracking jokes, laughing and the occasional birthday surprises. I personally enjoy these kind of things, it's so..New York for the lack of any other better examples. Another reason as to why i love it is because we spent our dinner in a real restaurant, with real food not some crappy fast food or anything like that and we don't usually eat at the same place twice, we like to experiment. Me and my friends, we love food. While watching a movie or going to the arcade may be fun but we didn't get to talk or laugh or all those things we could do after a great dinner.
I love my friends, and cheers to another hundreds more dinner and lunch out. Bah bila lagi dinner out ani? haha aku menunggu udah ni, andang pilih tah restaurant mana oii! inda lagi payah memirkirkan nanti.

Welcome back to school.
School started sooner than i would have wanted but i know for sure that i had fun during the holidays. What with all the trips and the parties but all of those need to be left behind seeing that i need to get my head in the game. It's the A-levels we
re talking about here. I am inspired to become a lawyer or atleast for now so in order for me to get that that point i need to start now. This year may make or break me, it's the catalyst of what may be a life long and dream fulfilled career. Excuse me for my terrible grammar but im not here to teach myself proper english, i'll leave that to Miss Nourse. At this point i don't really know what to talk about other that a good welcome back to the first day of school, i went out this afternoon with my friends, i know it sounds crazy seeing that it's the first day of school. Till then bye.

Happy New year 2011.
The title pretty much sums up what i am about to say, Happy new year to you all and i hope last years mistakes are sorted out and all the bad things are left behind. Lets open a new chapter in our life and start scribbling down those memories. Look at how cheesy i am but i don't care. This year im faced with what may be the biggest obstacle i'll have to overcome in my educational career and that is the A-levels. Enough about school. Lets start our New year with a positive kick, surround ourselves with family and friends and hope for the best that our relationship with them don't just pass by like 2010. Traditions should be carried on with the people in our life or better yet, start a new one. Make more friends and surround ourselves with positivity. Ok.
I've never summed up the previous years of my life into one word or determine it as a good or bad year because i've lived through alot of things, the good-the bad and the plain insane. So why sum it up into one if you've done a gazillion of other things? So im going to just leave you with that cause I wouldn't want you, my non-existance reader to miss out on your new years celebration with your family so run along now. With that i would like to say Selamat tinggal to 2010 and hello 2011.

When in KL.
During the holidays i had fun, we had fun. Of course you lovely ladies and gents know that i went to KL again (the other time in March) last December, as we usually do every year. And every year, coming back from KL i always brought something with me, other than shoes, shirts and a pair of designer jeans and that is knowledge, take 2 years ago for instance i mastered learned the fine art of making chocolates. This time around it was different, i kept telling myself that im not going home empty handed. Empty handed not in it's literal sense like going home without designer jeans and a pair of shoes or a truckload of books but as in memories, i don't want to leave KL without a slight memory of my experience there. But then again the experiences are mine to keep, but im not leaving you with nothing cause im sure you're dying to know what happened when i was there. Without further ado i present to you
Day 1: Woke up bright and early and took a train to Bukit Bintang, im not really a fan of that place but they do have great shopping. I bought 2 pair of jeans from PDI and 2 shirts from FOS and we had lunch at Subway. After we're all fed and energized i made my way to MPH bookstore where i bought one of Sophie Kinsella's masterpiece, i was looking for Bill Bryson's book but they didn't have the one that im looking for.
Day 2: Went to Sunway lagoon, we asked the driver to drive us bright and early to escape the crowd but alas there were people who came earlier than us. Im convinced that they actually camp there. After that we had lunch in KFC. That night, after a couple hours of rest i headed down to meet my parents, we're going to Bukit Bintang again cause my brother decided to be a brat and forced my parents to buy him a toy helicopter. I got myself a watch too.
Day 3: Went to Midvalley and went straight to MPH, i didn't get the book i wanted but instead i bought Stpehen Clarke's hilarious books, guess what? it's all about Paris~ after that i bought a cardigan and a hoodie. Went back to the hotel, worn out so i stayed in and read my book.
Day 4: Went to KLCC via train. It was nice but i didn't get to buy anything since the price tags would literally empty my wallet and rip the shirt off my back in exchage with a fedora. That night i went down for a stroll down at the Saturday bazaar, didn't get anything.
If you made it this far, then you truly are a trooper kudos to you and here's a medal for you for making it this far.
Day 5: We made it to Berjaya times square, via train. If i wasn't as broke as i am right now back then i would have probably collected every shirt in every store. There were sales everywhere, shoes galore, jeans, enough to last a lifetime. But in the end i bought a shirt, which im madly in love with and a pair of Supra! yeah a high top Supra.
And that ladies and gentleman concludes today's show and tell. I love KL, it never fail to make me richer and dry out all my allowances in a week time. I hope i get to do it again next year and till then, im out.

Not my usual self.
It's Tuesday, the day i dread the most because there is no PS today. Which means i have to sit through all my classes from 7.45 until 12.05. But today's different, I skipped EAS, why? because i was sick. Yeah this morning i woke up and i was as healthy as a monkey could ever talk. I wasn't feeling well and my left ear is temporarily deaf, I was dragging my ass along the hallways of MD, feeling like i was dying. Not really, just wanted to add that pinch of drama in that statement.But yeah it was tough.
Anyway, so this afternoon i went to the hospital with my brother, the doctor told me that there's nothing wrong with my ears, it's just because of a flu. Yeah the exam flu finally 'dawned upon me'. But yeah it's all good, im fine. Feeling a tad bit weird. I don't really know how to describe what im feeling right now, physically. My ears are getting worse, maybe it's because of the ointment or maybe my flu is getting worse, but the doctor said that it's just a normal flu. Funny thing is they gave me an m.c for today and not for tomorrow, i went to school today, what's the point of giving my m.c. to my teacher if im in school?
Im going to sleep now, i need all the rest i can get. I hope everything is going to be okay in the morning. I have a feeling that tomorrow's gonna be a good day. Maybe it's the games that we're going to play in psychology or maybe something else. But yeah, pray for me my non-existent readers. I love you. No, really i do.

Happy belated birthday bro.
This is the second post of the day. This is what happens when im obsessed with blogging, i blog twice a day, i blog like it's my medicine. Frankly, i only blogged because there's actually something that is worth blogging about. I just got home around 20 mins ago, I was going out with the family as usual. We ate out tonight, we ate at coffee zone in Kiulap. Tonight's actually sort of special..we were celebrating our brother's birthday..a month late. I know since on his birthday a big tragedy hit our family, on that day, my grandfather, Haji Najib bin Mohiddin passed away, piece be upon him. We were saddened by the loss. So we had to cancel everything for my brother's birthday and so, now, a month later, we celebrated his16th birthday. Unfortunately we didn't have cake, i wanted cake! :( I've been nagging about having cake since the last time i had one, which was..sometime long ago. Ok im going now, not that you care. Well no, i know you cared. I need to finish my EAS homework which has been pending since the last 2 weeks or so and now my printer can't be installed in my laptop cause i lost the CD. Great, just great. Okay bye now.
