Feast of Love


There is a story about the Greek Gods; they were bored so they invented human beings, but they were still bored so they invented love, then they weren't bored any longer. So they decided to try love for themselves. And finally, they invented laughter, so they could stand it.
The line above says a lot.Love is not always going to be about happiness.There are moments of sadness and hardship too and being able to laugh at times when it's hard is what makes it easier to bear sometimes.
I can't believe it took me this long to watch this movie.I am so glad that I found this movie..or maybe it found me?The movie is not that amazing but I love the fact that it gives me another perspective when it comes to love.I mean,nothing is ever black and white when it comes to love and relationships right?The movie is of course based on the book Feast of Love by Charlie Baxter.
The movie revolves around the characters in the book but it's not played out in the same way that the book was.In the movie,the story revolves around Bradley,a guy who's always seemed to be unlucky with love.Harry,the observer of all the people around him that's in love & coping with the death of his son.
Oscar & Chloe(my fave couple,pic below!) who's relationship is sort of like Romeo & Juliet.There's minor characters as well like Kathryn(Bradley's ex-wife) and Jenny who fell in love with each other.There's Diana(also Bradley's ex-wife) and David who fell in love while having an affair.

The character that I love most in the movie has to be Chloe and Oscar.And judging from other reviews that I read over the net,the story of their love should have taken center stage but it wasn't possible since each characters has their own story to tell.

I love the fact that Chloe was resilient and she stayed with Oscar and she made things happen for them because she knew that Oscar would leave her soon,from the psychic reading that she went to.She made sure that they'll get the house that they wanted(love the scene where both of them were talking about the foyer and kids) and she asked him to marry her.

I also love Bradley for not giving up on love even though he was screwed twice in marriage.And I love the line that Harry said about Bradley.That he could not hold against his wives for being in love.

I mean,how could you stop one from loving another right?Like a quote that I love said,"The heart will want what it wants".

On a lighter note,the trailer for Confessions of a Shopaholic is out!!!!I'm sad that Becky will not be British(like in the book)in the movie but instead she's American.But I love that Luke Brandon is Hugh Dancy!!!!

Yippeee!

Am finally at my parents home & in my favorite lair..Going to get some much needed sleep...huhu.A few weeks ago I watched Camp Rock(I love the songs & I'm not ashamed to admit that I burn a few on a cd & listen to it in the car..^_^),Another Cinderella Story & a couple more movies that I don't remember..I heart Selena Gomez!!!She's a stlyemaven and she's only 16(or is it 17?)..although she has an overbite(ala,gigi mcm arnab tu..) but she's still a cutie pie to me & heard that she's dating Nick Jonas..oooh!I love her VBLOG(video blog) on Youtube with her bestfriend Demi Lovato(from Camp Rock!).Here's some of my favorite Selena Gomez looks..Doesn't she always look so polish??
I thought Another Cinderella Story is a hilarious movie!Especially Dominique & her 2 daughters..haha.So OTT!!

On another note,I love Hani Zalikha's mom's blog..lot's of cool domestic tips there!

Oh,I watched my old dvd's of Laguna Beach 3(I have 1 & 2 on dvd too!) and I still remember back in part 1,Izza & me will sit and watch the episodes& discuss their lives like we actually know them..haha.(it's a reality show)Izza would mimic Rocky/Raquel's "thank you" voice...haha.The teens on Laguna Beach are really rich kids who lives in Laguna Beach,who has MTV follow & filmed their lives when they're not in school.


Watching the series again at this day and age,and seeing the social politics of the people on the show,made me feel like..OMG!People are not that different.In the show,Tessa & Kyndra are now enemies but they used to be so tight a few years before.And Tessa's new bestfriend is Rocky.Rocky used to be bestfriend with Breanna.And Breanna hates Tessa.Now all of Breanna's friend ignore Rocky because she's friend with Tessa.


And then we have Kelan,a shy guy who's so into Lexie.Lexie asks him to Winter Formal,sending all this mix signals but then she acts all ice queen to him in Cabo which pisses him off.Tessa dates Derek,one of Kyndra's entourage.And the moment they became a couple,Kyndra & her girls started to diss Derek & asking him to break up with her.And yeah,you get how that ended right?

And then we have Kyndra who flirts and dates Cameron.And then gets back together with Tyler.But then hooks up with Cameron,again.Cameron is going out with Jessica but denies it to his friends.Cameron also hooks up with Tessa in San Fran(back when Tessa wasn't with Derek) while he was with Jessica.Now,doesn't this still happen in like almost one or 2 people in our lives?????The show is great to observe human nature...hahah.Seriously!!!

Getting doped

Firstly,congrats to Effa & Sabri for their upcoming wedding..This Sunday,26th October at Alor Gajah...Congratulations!!!From Dielle The Musical--the production that brought them together..I think...Cos' me & my friends were involved in the musical & we saw them getting closer & closer..^_^..I can't believe that my 2 former seniors are getting married!!!(Bile la turn aq??hahah)

I know I should not be blogging when there's a million(ok I'm exagerrating a wee bit..haha)other things to do..but I just couldn't stop myself to blog about this..Plus,I haven't blog in about 2 weeks man!!!

Question..Have you seen a druggie during work?Like a person is high on drugs while working??I had the privilege in meeting one yesterday.And truth be told,it was interesting!

I was at this printing place(the name of the place shall remain anonymous) with 2 of the boys that I'm tutoring and there,manning the counter is the guy who had just had a 'fix'.How do I know that?Trust me,when you meet one,you just know!

The dude was talking like he's a rasta and he was clearly baked but he did talked good English.He was like,"Wassup bro" to everyone who came in.And he was talking to me like Batman in Dark Knight..hahaha.You just had to be there..I couldn't stop laughing and rolling my eyes afterwards to the boys who were with me...hahah.

The moral of the story is,DO NO TAKE DRUGS when you're working at a place that is frequent by teens and kids!That's such a bad influence..Or JUST DO NOT TAKE DRUGS AT ALL!!!

For people who loves perfumes,like me & my parents..go and grab em' quick at the Metrojaya Warehouse Sale at Stadium Melawati Shah Alam before it's all gone!!I went this morning after helping my mum to get my dad's road tax and yadda yadda...and there were so many people there!

And it's only the first day AND it was like 10 something in the morning..huhuh.I saw a lot of great stuff..gorgeous bags and many more but didn't have the time to wander around so me & my mum just went straight to the perfume & cosmetics side and there were so many perfumes that I wanted to buy.

I saw Kate Moss,The Beckham's perfume,Antonio Banderas,Britney's,Prada's,Marc Jacobs,Nina Ricci,YSL,Jean Paul Gaultier,CK,Davidoff,and so many more and like half of it's normal price..It was madness!!!!!!!!!!Nina Ricci perfume(I remembered a colleague of mine did a poem on it during Creative Writing) was going for RM60 a bottle!!!F&*king cheap!!!hahaha.

I only bought 2 Revlon stuff and a Davidoff perfume cos' I'm broke..and my mum was there to tell me that..'haha serves you right for spending all the money that you earned before the sale'..T_T.If I kept the money that I made from tutoring + raya cookies+bracelets+raya money..I would have more than 1k to spend....T_T..If only I was more thrifty...sheeshhh...But to others who are fully loaded,do go there and spend your money on my behalf aite??hahah

To Hanis Zalikha,sorry for spelling your name wrong in my old post.It doesn't matter if it's blog or 'belog' honey cos' I still think your blog rocks!!

A journey

Last Saturday,me,hani,hisyam&akmal went on a trip to find the best spot for our Kursus Kepimpinan.On the morning after the Dean's List Dinner,around 8.15 am,I went to Hisyam's house,waited for Akmal to come from his house and then off we went to KL Sentral to picked up Hani.Hisyam drove all the way of course.haha.After KL Sentral,we went to Kg.Attap and the 2 uncles in their Innova showed us the way to Ulu Yam.At Ulu Yam,we stayed for a bit and looked around.


Next we went to Frasers Hill,more like at the bottom of the hill actually,to see another spot for our kursus.Hani was very paranoid about pacat.You know that insect that tend to get stuck on your leg and suck your blood until it gets fat and hungry?Yeah,that one.Before going to that place,we stop and had breakfast as the uncles wanted to,so we stopped at this stall in Kuala Kubu Baru...We waited for En.Hashim,who has a pajero because my car & the uncle's car can't enter the forest.

While waiting for En.Hashim,the 4 of us went to fill the tank,since we planned to go to on top of Frasers Hill after we've finish seeing the place for the kursus.Only Akmal have been to Frasers Hill before but the 3 of us haven't yet...
When we went to the place and ride the pajero..it was a very wobbly and a stop your heart kind of ride.I have never ridden a four wheel drive in a jungle before so it was a very different and quite a scary experience.You feel like the car could suddenly topple over and it was shaking and swaying all the way through the jungle.Because lorries that entered the jungle when the land was soaking with water from the rain and they push the pedal of their car too hard,it created very very deep holes along the muddy road.So along the way,the pajero did get stuck in the mud and the men had to push the car.

At the site,Hani,unfortunately found a pacat that stuck to her leg.She didn't scream as there were many men there so she calmly asked me to pull it away from her leg.It was my first experience in holding a pacat!!It feels like a cendol in my hand..hahah.


Afterwards,as we've finish looking around the place,and said goodbyes to the uncles,we went off to the top of Frasers Hill.But unfortunately,we arrived just when the gate was about to close.So we had to wait for an hour for the gate to reopened.We talked and talked and gossiped and gossiped...Guys can gossip too!!!hahaha.When we went to the top,there wasn't that much to do,so after prayer,we went to have lunch and took some pictures.Talked and talked and talked.Actually,we didn't stop talking in the car the whole day!

Next we went to Hani's house initially just to send her home but then as her mother had already prepared drinks for us,Hisyam who at first was so 'malu2',decided to stay for Maghrib prayers.We wanted to go back to Shah Alam after Maghrib but Hani's parents asked us to stay for dinner.

I enjoyed chatting with Hani's brother and Hani & me realize that we had something in common.We liked this one PS game so much that we couldn't stop talking about it.Hisyam & Akmal was puzzled watching us talk and talk in details about how the game is played.heheh.After Hisyam lost to the football game on the PS2 with Hani's brother,I played a game that he recommended.Then we had dinner of satay and mee hailam courtesy of Hani's parents who went out to buy it just for us.After dinner,the men talked politics for so many hours.

Hisyam & Akmal is sooo damn knowledgeable when it comes to politic and so is Hani's father so they keep talking about it.We went back around 10 something and even in the car,Hisyam & Akmal still talked about politics and I,guiltily join in too & we were on the same page so there wasn't any fights going on..hehe.Seriously,they breathe and live about politics.They know everything!I wento back to my grandma's house around 11 something.Can't wait for the trip to Sg.Pisang pulak!!!!wooott
