Movie reviews:Puss in boots,Breaking Dawn & etc!:)

Yeah2 I haven't blog in about a few days but I assure you that I'm back with quite a few updates..:) First up,a post on a few movies that I've watched with the boyfriend!:)

1.Breaking Dawn Part 1

                                                     
I went to watch this movie with the boyfriend the first day it came out.I've told him when the trailer came out & we were watching it,that I want to see the movie.

Because although I wasn't a big fan of the Twilight book series,I did read it back in Uni days because I wanted to know what it was all about & I like the last book the most(Breaking Dawn) because Edward & Bella got married & went on this super romantic honeymoon.

Sooo..we went to watch the movie at MBO Subang Parade& my verdict??It was okay.Passable because the boyfriend didn't slept throughout the movie.He had some questions as well since he has never read the books.
Look at the super pretty back of the wedding dress!!
I love all the flower garlands!
The wedding scene was of course very beautiful.I loveee Bella's dress.In front it looked very simple but at the back it was just breathtaking!:) The honeymoon scene was okay as well BUT yeah due to our censorship board,lots of it was chopped off..HURMPPHHH.

So for the readers out there who knows what I'm talking about because you guys read that part,I suggest wait for the torrent to come out & then download it..haha.

Ooh,they really managed to make Bella look super duper sick/emaciated due to her pregnancy that even boyfriend's brother who went to watch the movie with his girlfriend told us that she looked really awful during that scene. 

At the end of the day,let's face it,this movie isn't really about vampires or werewolves.It's a love story and lots of girls out there love a love story so that's why although it isn't Oscar material,they managed to make lots of money from it.

2.Puss in Boots 3D

Initially I was torn between watching this movie or Happy Feet 2 because apparently the boyfriend said that the first movie was really good and his siblings said the second one is good as well.But since I didn't watch Happy Feet and I've watched all of Shrek's movie,I thought why not watch this one since the review it had gotten in The Star was good.

We went to watch this movie at the new mall in Shah Alam,the huge aptly named Space U8.


Look at his big eyes!
The movie was enjoyable and had many funny parts. Although the plot of the movie was a little elaborate--regarding how Humpty planned everything out to fool Puss..I actually love the flashback scenes because Puss looked soooo cute when he was a tiny kitten!:)

The movie version of Jack and Jill is so far from what I imagined as a kid.hahah.And the chick that laid the golden eggs is sooo cute!arghhhh.Basically this movie is filled with cute things..:P

3.The Fall


This movie is pretty old seeing that it came out in 2006.The boyfriend like to introduce me to movies that I've never watch or never thought to watch.So whenever we spend time together,he'll make me watch a few of them.So this was one of the recent ones.I have NEVER heard about the movie and I wish I had!

When the movie starts,I thought it was a European movie because of the accent of the little girl and the setting of it was almost like a horror movie(a dark hospital).But it wasn't.It was an indie film by Americans.The setting of the movie was during the 1920s in Los Angeles--hence the orange pickers that was mentioned by Alexandria(the little girl) in the movie.

The many scenes in the movie is BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!Click HERE to see how many locations the movie was shot at.I have no idea why the movie wasn't well known..is it because it was an independent film?Apparently the boyfriend said that the director is rich so although it was an indie movie,it looked very opulent.

I didn't recognize any of the actors in the movie except for Lee Pace,the lead which also starred in one of my old fave tv series--Pushing Daisies.

The movie is about Roy,a stunt man who injured because of a fall,told an elaborate story to a fellow patient,a little girl with a broken arm,with an ulterior motive.The movie is a bit dragging but I love the end of it because Alexandria is such a precocious little kid.

I love the end part when she said something about oranges and teeth when she put the old man's fake teeth into the orange rind & planted them.hahahaha.You have to watch this movie and be amazed by the beautiful scenes.:)

Every once in a while

:)

We've been together for almost a year now and I still get excited to see you everyday.It's amazing how much love we have for each other.More days to come,more love to give.Always.

Passing

It took me longer to write this..but here it goes:

On 11/11,a date that everyone was talking about..my grandma was admitted to the emergency ward due to stroke around 2pm.I rushed out of the office,picked up my mum & brothers(as dad was a work),went to HUKM.

My grandma has been bedridden for 2 years.She can talk,eat and everything but she can't walk,she uses a wheelchair.After 11/11,she stayed at the hospital because the doctor wanted to monitor her although we heard that she might not make it or if she did survive the ordeal,she would have a hard time living because food can only be transmitted via a tube.

On 20/11,around 9.30pm,after I had just finish with Wardrobe Clearance with boyfriend's sister & my friends,my mum called saying that my grandma passed away.I was numb.I never thought it'd be so sudden.Boyfriend was there next to me and up till this day I'll remember how he was there comforting me while I cry.

Quickly we went to grandma's house and all my other relatives had prepare the house and Razin's helped as well.It was so nice of him.:) 
That fateful night..he sat at the swing I used to play with as a child

With my lil brother Raffiq.
My mum & her siblings had expected that this will come..grandma's passing.Grandma looked very clean and peaceful after they had bathe her that Monday morning at the surau in section 11.

We did a 3-day tahlil for her.1st day it was catered.2nd day we cooked and the 3rd it was potluck..every relative brought a dish.Razin came on the 1st and last tahlil.His brother came as well during the 1st.Izza came during the last tahlil.Thank you,you guys.

I know grandma's in a better place now.We will all miss you very much.Now I have no other grandparents left.Can't believe that this years raya was the last one we spend with her.I was glad that I managed to bake her a cake for her birthday.Al-fatihah.

Below are a few pics during the 3 days of tahlil:

Enjoying their food

I love this picture.:)

More EATS!:)

If you've been reading my blog these past few years,you'd know that I love to eat!I mean I love cooking and baking,buying groceries and what not but let's face it,eating is so much easier.hahaha.So these past 2 weeks I managed to eat at 4 different places that I've never eaten at before.

This is sort of a mini achievement BECAUSE I always prefer to eat at places that I am familiar with and it's pretty routine.The boyfriend know this about me because we always end up eating at the same places.haha.What can I say?I like what I like.BUT,a little bit of change now and then is good as well.So let's round it up!

Carl's Junior

I have seen Carl's Junior many times before but never wanted to try it.But last Thursday night,before me & the boyfriend went to watch Breaking Dawn Part 1(which was okay-lah),we had our dinner there because it was the closest one next to Subang Parade's MBO.

Fries,onion rings,bbq burger & chilli dog..
Syg mixing d salsa together to dip w fries..goood!
I ordered the jumbo chilli dog with onion rings on the side.He ordered BBQ burger with fries.I have to say that although the onion rings were made using whole onions which is a plus for me(diced onion is such a sham!),BUT the batter that coated it was so hard!:(

The hotdog was okay though but I prefer Razin's burger which was goooddd..and the fries as well of course!haha.The fries had potato skins still on them..yummm.BTW,it was cool when me & Razin entered the cinema,we were holding our drinks from Carl's & the boys there didn't tell us to throw it away!yeayyy..haha.

Bubba Gump

One day the boyfriend and I was talking about how we should go and eat at Bubba Gump.So the next day,we did!I peruse the MENU online first and then he even printed it out (in color!haha) so we could take a good look at it before going.I love the menu!:P

So we went there with Razin's lil sister Raqeema as well.I love the food.Everything was good and it was worth the price.
Left to right:Strawberry speckled lemonade,alabama sweet smoothie(razin)
and mango sparkler(mine).
Tower of onion rings with bbq sauce & chipotle ranch sauce.VERY GOOD!

Bubba's Far Out Dip..super creamy!
Shrimper's heaven..shrimp cooked 4 diff ways w 4 dippin sauces,coleslaw & fries.
 Love love everything!From the drink..my mango sparkler was refreshing but it was too big so I ened up needing the boyfriend's help to finish it.His Sweet Alabama Sweet Smoothie was yummy!A combo of peanut butter & chocolate but it wasn't really sweet and just nice.

The appetizer was onion rings and Bubba's far out dip.I loveee the onion rings as it was akin to A&W ones!:) The dipping sauces was so good too.Loveee the bbq one.The far out dip had lots of spinach,cheese & artichoke in it.Very creamy but we didn't finish it because it was very rich.

The shrimper's heaven was divine!Shrimp cooked 4 different ways.Tempura,deep fried,chili and coated with coconut.There were 4 dipping sauces as well:cocktail sauce,soy sauce,cajun marmalade and another one which I can't remember.haha.

We were so stuffed that we didn't order dessert!I would definitely come here again though maybe once every 2 months cos' it is not cheap!
Meatworks



I have passed Meatworks at Citta Mall back when I went there with the boyf during Raya to buy cupcakes from Wondermilk.A few days back,Razin's dad treated his family there for dinner and me & also Razin's brother's girlfriend went as well.I have to say there were a few hit and misses.

Urghhhh
I ordered the Waldorf salad because it looked so appetizing in the menu and because 2 hours prior I had already eaten rice because I didn't eat all day.So I wanted something light.But much to my dismay,the salad was VERY disappointing.Here's the MENU for Meatworks.And if you can see in the description of the salad,it stated Granny Smith apples(the green kind),along with celery as well.

But instead they added mushy red apple(I HATE MUSHY APPLES!) and also omit the celery & used watercress which so DID NOT go with the salad!And the apple was cut into HUGE chunks that it was tedious to eat.-__- I should have asked them to bring it back & cut it into smaller pieces but I didn't want to make a fuss since I didn't pay for dinner.But how can you freakin screw up a salad?*sigh*.
Creme Brulee!
I ordered cinnamon creme brulee as well.I didn't really like cinnamon but I would never pass up creme brulee.But I have to say it was super WEIRD when they had runny sauce on top of the brulee.It wasn't just mine,Razin's creme brulee had a watery top as well.This affected the layer of crunchy caramel(the brulee) on top of it.But the creme part was smooth and satisfying.
Razin's bbq beef ribs
I tasted Razin's bbq ribs and they were excellent!Really spot on.If I happen to eat here next time,I'll definitely order that instead.I took pic of everyone's dish since they know how I love taking pics of food..haha.But since it would be a very long post,I didn't upload them.
Razin's family & that's his brother's girlfriend on the left.:)
Thank you to Razin's dad for the food!

Aimar's Tomyam and Seafood TTDI

I might have passed Aimar's Tomyam everytime I fill up my gas at SHELL after work.But I never ate there at all.Until a day ago after me & Razin went to check out the new Space U8 which is HUGE & SPACIOUS!

We were very hungry after we went there that we decided to eat and one of the nearest places and Razin saw it when were at the traffic light and I thought why not give it a try?Initially I was a bit apprehensive because of the look of the place.

But as we sat down and looked at the menu on the table we were like..SO CHEAP???wahhhhh..So we ordered the Hatyai set which consisted of Siakap masak 3 rasa,Kankung goreng,ayam/daging--we choose ayam masak paprik,telur dadar & sup tulang(which we upgraded to Tomyam Seafood) and also 2 watermelon juice.
Clockwise:Siakap masak 3 rasa,ayam paprik,telur dadar & tomyam campur.
The food was good!It was so funny when Razin and me was like fighting over the fish.haha.We are such huge fish eaters!Total bill was only rm34.50.Crazy cheap right?

So that's all folks of some of the places that I've eaten at these past 2 weeks!
