Semi-Returned

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey there! I know, I know... I used to keep this blog alive and updated every day.. and sometimes, twice to thrice a day.. due to my recent job, I have yet to give you juicy information regarding updates about life or my personal encounters..

I have another blog which I have been updating buy I have not released it to the public and my sincere apologies for not doing so. My argument would be because I'd like to have the blog features and settings a little more presentable compared to many other simple blogs. And in one of my former "recent" entries.. I did mention that I lost many of my important belongings. Well, that would be one of the main reasons why my entries have been very plain and empty. I can't get myself a new camera just yet but I will try.

Bills are coming in and I have many things to settle and handle in life. I need to find more media and contents to fill this little blog.

I'm currently at work taking some time to update this little entry, though short just to explain my absence. I am going to try to get active again and attend some Nuffnang gatherings which I have not attended for quite a while now.. :(

I've also watched several movies but OMG...I am going to take quite a long while to write them all.. but the ones I really did enjoy? I guess I will write some eh? Do excuse my slow entries though.

Could I be excused just for the few movies? At least just a few that most of you have already watched? ❤

Valentine's Day vs Islam vs Christianity?

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello once again.. yes, so I stumbled upon a video while scouting for some ideas for Valentine's Day and I thought I'd share it with you.

NOTE: It's in Malay language so if you're from a foreign country, I humbly apologize for your trouble understanding it.


I believe, this video says all.

Honestly, I am surprised to see how little things people celebrate just for their loved ones, mostly by the younger generations seem to be a "deadly weapon" towards the older generation.

Nobody really is "worshipping" this day and "supporting" anything regarding its deep, dark history. Nobody takes this very day to be anything related to religion or a way for Christians to "spread" their religion and make muslims "convert" either.

Everyone just celebrates it by taking their loved ones out and making them feel special on that very day itself. Nobody starts fights, riots or debates about it (aside from little spit fires about lonely singles or raging jealous ex-boyfriends/girlfriends) .. so why bring back the sensitive topic and make them afraid of celebrating something which is now commercialized? 

The answer to that question remains a mystery... LOL!

Oh, and I quote a friend who's muslim who said this: 

" We don't celebrate it for St. Valentine! It's a day we celebrate love! "

Lindsay Lohan Charged With Felony Grand Theft

Carved by ♥ F ♥


Hello sweeties~ It's me again and back with more "un-shocking" news? Behold! Our ex-Disney star.. going rogue again right after getting out of Rehab recently?


Lindsay Lohan was arraigned Wednesday (February 9) on a felony charge related to her recent jewelry theft case, and the presiding judge made it clear that he wants the troubled starlet to stay straight. 


Lohan arrived in court in a clingy white minidress, big black shades and hair in a blond ponytail with a necklace tucked into her collar. In the courtroom, the actress sat quietly next to her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who said Lohan's probation officer maintained she has been "a good probationer." Ultimately, the judge decided to revoke her probation in her previous misdemeanor case and set bail at $20,000. At the close of the minutes-long arraignment, Judge Keith Schwartz addressed Lohan directly and advised her that her current circumstance is more serious than her previous legal scrapes. 


"You're in a different situation now that a felony has been filed against you," Schwartz said, later adding that, "If you violate the law, I will remand you and set no bail." The judge explained that Lohan wouldn't be able to dodge jail time and post bail as she did last year after she admittedly failed a court-mandated drug test, saying, "A felony is a different situation and you're not entitled to bail." The judge also firmly told the starlet, "You need to follow the laws just like everybody else," and added, "Please, don't push your luck. I'm telling you, things will be different." 


Lohan allegedly lifted a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store on January 22. The owner reported the theft to the Los Angeles Police Department, which later investigated the accusation and presented evidence to the District Attorney's office last week. The actress has been officially charged with one count of felony grand theft and faces up to three years in prison. 


The case is unusual for a number of reasons, according to criminal defense lawyer Jacob Glucksman, who used to be a deputy district attorney in the Los Angeles County Prosecutors office. "It does seem odd to me," Glucksman told MTV News on Wednesday afternoon a short time before Lohan's arraignment. "Most theft cases are: You go into a store and hide something in your bag and leave or take it from a person. Something like this is fairly rare and begs the questions: Why didn't the store just go to Lindsay's people and not the cops?" 


Glucksman said the case will come down to the issue of intent, which could be hard for the prosecutor's office to prove. One of the keys to the case will be prior acts, including similar incidents in the past in which Lohan has been accused (but never criminally charged) with keeping or taking something that didn't belong to her. 


"There's an evidence code in California [section 1101 (b)] that relates to character evidence," he said. "It says that character evidence cannot be used to prove a person's propensity to commit a crime. That means they can't say that 'Lindsay Lohan is the type of person who would commit this crime because she's done XYZ in the past.' " 


However, Glucksman, who is not involved in the Lohan case, added, you can use prior acts to show "motive, intent, opportunity, knowledge or modus operandi," in which case prosecutors could use the character evidence to show that she had intent to steal this time. 


"You would say, 'In the past, someone has given her a coat, a watch, trinkets ... and they haven't asked for it back,' and because she had the knowledge and intent to keep it, that's what she did this time too." Lohan does not have to have been charged with crimes in the prior acts in order for them to be brought up in court, but a judge could seek to limit such evidence if he or she thought it would confuse or mislead jurors and possibly lead them to convict Lohan for a past crime rather than the one that led to her charging. 


The necklace-nicking incident is the latest case in Lohan's extensive litany of legal run-ins. The starlet was recently released from rehab after failing a court-ordered drug test and spending 2010 in and out of courtrooms and in prison for continually failing to comply with the conditions of her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI bust.

Cathay Damansara - Bad Security?

Carved by ♥ F ♥

I don't know where to go, what to do and where to begin... meh. My mood right now is so dead that I just can't bring myself to talk about the good things. I'm torn apart as I type.

So yea, apart from that.. I went through a rather disappointing, frustrating and traumatic experience a few hours after I woke up. I got called in for a last minute job. Had to do a movie review for Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D ... boss heard I was invited for it.. lol and yeah, went to Cineleisure with Rick. Met up with Andy there.. and chilled with Jay. We got our stuff covered, tickets settled, got our food and off we went for work. It should've been only a 2 hour+ outing.

Woohoo... My luck was down the shithole.

Guess what happened?

I lost my handbag in the cinema. 
(つд`)

What a bummer right? I honestly wasn't angry, or pissed regarding me losing my bag with my money or anything. Only thing that got me so damn upset was the items IN the damn BAG!! I had money entrusted to me, souvenirs from my friends from Korea, UK... the items I just purchased as a gift that wasn't cheap at all. My treasured gifts.. and even my b-day presents were in that bag as well! ARGH!! (>_<。) ... It may not mean a thing to you, but to the person who those items belong to.. it means the world. =/

It wasn't even 10 minutes that I realized it wasn't with me, and we were the LAST group to get out of that damn cinema. I dashed to the hall, entered without word and started searching like a German Shepherd sniffing out drugs. I was so upset and frustrated.

I demanded to see the manager, but of course... he was NOT around (or so I was told). So, I spoke to the Supervisor who I did not give a damn to ask for his name.

Please, Cathay managers, start HIRING those who can speak ENGLISH FLUENTLY. It's a pain to hear your staff struggle to speak.

The conversation went like this when I went to the 3D counter first (I have translated it from Malay) :

Me: Who's incharge here?
Guy 1: Him.
Me: I lost my bag, and it has been no more than 10 minutes that I've been gone.
Guy: Where did you put it?
Me: Underneath the arm rest of the chair.

The supervisor followed me to the cinema with Rick and we searched. NOTE: He took less than 5 minutes to help search then he zoomed off saying " Be right back. " I couldn't be bothered. I started digging and searching high and low. Nothing. There were even a few nice guys sitting near my row helping me search. I didn't have time to thank them but if they get to read this, thank you. I thundered out disappointed, only to see that supervisor with a group of workers standing there, talking. I walked to them, questioning furiously:

Me: My bag isn't there. This does not make any sense. It's been LESS than 10 minutes and we were the last to get out of the cinema. And there is no way in hell a customer would see my bag, because I put it where only the person sitting on that seat is able to get it, and in this case... the cleaner cuz he has to clean the leftover popcorn and whatever.



Guy: ... Are you sure? Maybe earlier a customer took it and you didn't realize? I don't know. The cleaners said they didn't take it.
(Yeah, good answer, believe the cleaners before the customer)



Me: That is impossible. Like I said, it was kept at a place nobody could reach apart from myself or the cleaner. Someone would have had to bend down and push me to get to it and there was nobody there apart from my group and your cleaners.


Guy 2: I didn't see anything. We cleaned this place.


Guy 3: Yeah. Nothing at all.


Me: Right... and of course you will say there isn't anything there. Bloody hell, if you want my money, no idea which of the lot of you took it... you can bloody well HAVE IT, but I want my BAG BACK!! My important things are in there. DAMMIT.

Oh, okay.... so, after my furious attacks, they kept quiet then one of them started to "open up" ..

Guy 2: It was only me, him and the other cleaner.
Me: Other cleaner??
Guy 3: Yeah...
Me: WHO? And WHERE are they?
Guy 2: Downstairs...
Me: I want to see ALL of you, do NOT make me call the manager and security.
Guy 3: They're downstairs...
Me: Downstairs WHERE?
Guy 3: Uhh... toilet.... (I found it odd that they hesitated to tell me the location)

Me: Take me there. N O W. I don't care. NOW.

So okay, Guy 2 takes me to some "bathroom" at the very end of the cinema halls. WTF? That's NOT a bathroom? Or maybe I saw it wrongly? All I saw was a big black plastic bag on a table I think (the guy shut the doors fast) ... then he took me downstairs to a room with another 3 people. One lady and 2 other guys. So, Guy 2 told them I lost my bag and if any of them saw it while cleaning.

Obvious answer?

NO. Lol. Of course right? Which idiot would've admitted?

The lady said " I only swept... I don't touch anything there... " and yes, I understand looks can be deceiving but, her tone... I don't know. God forbid if I'm wrong but, she seemed genuine. I didn't trust the other 3 guys. They looked too suspicious. Sorry if it seems like I'm accusing the staff of Cathay Cineplex, Damansara in Cineleisure but... in advance, I will apologize here, and HERE ONLY if it was stolen by a customer and not one of your staff, so do NOT pound me with your legal public offense. I am blogging here to express my frustration with my uttermost disappointment on your staff priorities and cooperation.

So, yet again.. another disappointment. I walked back up to the 3D booth and talked to the supervisor and he said we can make a report. So alright, I accepted that and went down to the counter to make my report. To my surprise, there was this file with a stack of papers, filled with reports. HELLO? If you can receive that many reports, can't you see that there is a problem there? In America, if this happens twice, they would already change their system and tighten their security. Worst case scenario, shut down business. That's how strict and efficient they are. I admire your service and quality given to the customers when viewing. Air-condition is just nice. Cold but not freezing, stable sound system, clear and well positioned screen. Not to mention good service at the food counter.... but, I am truly disappointed with your security service and staff sense of urgency.

At the counter while filling my report, I said:

Me: So, do you have any security here?
Guy: No.... only the supervisor and the trainees. Just the staff....
Me: Oh.. ok, what about security cameras?
Guy: We do not have any security cameras here. In the whole cinema compound, there are none. No security either. Just us staff.

Ok.... wait, WHAT!? This is a public place. A mall, and there is no security system around the cinema compound? OMG. I was in disbelief. Speechless, and my blood boiled at that statement. I started thinking to myself... what if someone got robbed there? What if someone got murdered and stabbed? What if someone was choking and dying? So many what-ifs.

I beg you to please install any form of surveillance. And PLEASE tighten your security. If someone else loses their items after this, I am sorry, but you will be losing more and more customers with your lack of security and priority in serving your customers.

There were more than 2 at the ticket checking booth and a bunch all standing at the 3D booth while I was interrogating them and out of all the staff working, only ONE guy took me to see the other 2 cleaners and the supervisor who helped me file a report and look for my bag.

Where is your sense of customer service?

I really would say more but I really do not want to drag this into a battlefield.

EDIT: I was told that I would receive a phone call by NOON. It's now 1:40pm. Lack of punctuality there. FIX IT. I stayed up all night, worried and restless, are you happy? Also, the guy who called mumbles and I can BARELY understand what he was saying.

 Bleargh. I'm done ranting.

Thanks to Adrean, Rick, Andy, Cherry, Jay, Ruz, Johnny and Kaze for talking to me and cheering me up. :)

Time to Edit!

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Heya folks! It's pretty late where I'm at but I'm just too pressured with work right now. Haha. So, I mentioned in my second last entry that I'll be back?

Let's say... well, hopefully this would be my unofficial come-back. :)

I know I've been neglecting my blog but I hope I can be excused with a decent reason, work. Most of the times I get called out for events or movies for further write-up's and reviews, I'll end up having that little spark which pretty much dies out by the time I get home (ノ-_-)ノ ... Ah! I'm horrible :'(

Anyways, here's hoping I'll be able to balance work and hobbies. Blogging.. was my job until I got hired by several companies to work on their events, marketing and PR work. All in one, they call me the Community Representative ... but, I am an important asset to their company, since I handle the whole community =/ ... Loads of work there. On the sidelines, I stick to designing and gaming :D I'm a hired Beta-Tester by the way, so stay tuned if you'd like some Beta-Keys to play newly launched games by many companies from USA, UK and all around Asia (-_- )ノ

Take that as my little apology eh? Hehe...

That's all. Gonna cut this one short :)

Vampires Suck!?

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey there! May I give a shout out to all you Twilight Fans! ❤

Alright.. not really. Today, I was asked out to watch a movie, well.. can't exactly consider it as an "actual" movie but more of a parody. Be prepared for some eye-popping screenies? I present to you:

Vampires Suck.

 Notice the similarities to the original movie, New Moon? Well, you got that right. LOL! ( ̄。 ̄)

Entering the cinema, I noticed a very wide selection of age groups, and I thought to myself  "Oh... maybe this wouldn't be so bad? There are kids here... " Commercials came in, blah blah blah...

I'm not really gonna be the ultimate give away for this movie but to all Twilight fans, I suggest you brace yourselves for a LOAD of jokes, parodies and pretty much hilarious insults directly hit on each character. I do not suggest you watch it IF you are going to be offended with the crazy jokes they pulled off in this movie.

This movie is more of an American Pie version of Twilight, need I mention that Edward killed Alice (from Alive in Wonderland) and was attacked by some unknown rabid-squirrel? I'm not going to spoil the whole movie here but I did find their jokes to be really repetitive.

And this pic, my lovelies, is this movie's version of Edward Cullen..

Honestly, he looked like a little cry-baby... and I kinda give him a +point for looking just as close to the original Edward. His name is Edward Sullen. LOL!

Look at that pretty shy-sad-baby face! :(



The temptation is there to pinch! Hahah! Sorry Twilight fans but I just had to say it. Honest words :p

On the side note... I guess that explains why Edward was always so pretty-pale faced and with a glossy complexion? (=ω=;) Look! It's foundation! -chuckles-

The Sullens! Up close and personal? Well, kinda. They did resemble the original characters, although not all used the same names. Even Bella's name was changed to Becca.... so you get my drift.

Overall, I'd give ★★☆☆☆ out of 5.

Two stars would be one, for effort and effect and quality of the movie, although they made it a cheap way out when focusing on individuality of the characters, one fine example was when the vampires were jumping or having to reach out to an impossible distance in a nick of time. Other than that, they tried their best to keep it with the original plot, so that's the other star.

Well hello there! It's the Black Eyed Peas! Ahaha, alright, I won't spoil any further... but I will show another picture.

Alright! I almost forgot, this is advisable for parents to NOT bring their children to watch this. It DOES contain some graphical scenes and sexual jokes. Not appropriate for minors.

Here's the leftover of Jacob's pack of wolves. Should I comment more? :p

I think I've shown enough spoilers and hilarious screenies of the movie. I'd recommend it to those of you who want to laugh your brains out with the "alter-TWISTED-version" of Twilight in Vampires Suck.

Heavily masculine ghey looking men, and that's not all!

THEY DANCE!!!



Here's the wonderful trailer to it! :)

Becca Crane: [from trailer] Jacob, run!
[Jacob jumps above Becca and lands in his chihuahua form. Becca disbelievingly]
Becca Crane: A chihuahua? 

That's all folks!

OMGOSH!!

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello all! ❤ Gosh.... It really has been a while, hasn't it? :) So, how are you? My fellow readers, so sorry for the long halt on this blog. I've yet to be forgiven :p ... But my work caught up to me and I really didn't have any time in my hands to squeeze in updates. Yes, I admit I have been out and about for movies and events but *sigh* Things were pretty cramped so each time I told myself I wanted to blog and write a review about something, it doesn't happen (´ヘ`;) My apologies!

Alright, so I'll keep my end of the bargain and try my best to write about what I've watched and what I've been up to? Mmm... though I think you're going have to give me a while to come up with my media haha! I need to look for material then compile them and start writing (-_- )ノ


Apart from all that talk, Hm... been busy working from home too. Our nanny kinda went back for a few months to visit her family, so I've taken the initiative to stay home with my family more. Now that I think about it, as tiring as chores can be... when you actually do it with your family, it'll be worthwhile :) Yes, you'll get the usual constant nagging from the one and only person whom you'll never think of hurting horribly called "Mother" ... *laughs* Got you huh? :p


Mums tend to nag until they annoy you so badly that you just wish there was a "mute" button but trust me, it's a ritual for all of us. You should think how it'd be like when we're way older and our parents are long gone. Yes, we can't stand them... that's also because they've been through what we're just in learning-phases. I can't say much but my mother is a wonderful person. I'll probably tell you more about her in one of my posts but for now, I suggest you to remember who brought you to life and was there for you each time you needed support.


I know some of you won't agree. Because there are broken families, I truly understand but if anything, just be happy that you're alive. Don't think about all the negative things that have been haunting you. See past that and always tell yourself that you're gonna be happy and try hard to achieve your goals. A stepping stone at a time... :)


Well, I'll continue to post more soon ;) Gonna relax for now and watch Criminal Minds.

Transformers Fans, Still alive?

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello all! It's been a while hasn't it? :)

My humble apologies for I have been constantly on the roll of exploring and going through on of those moments in life where you'd questions yourself on which routh to take and if you'd make the right choice!

Well, I wont hold you any longer, here's a little something for you to read:

LOS ANGELES, CA – The internet has been abuzz since this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Megan Fox jokingly remarked that she looked like a man.


When interviewed on the red carpet, she said “ I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man. ”

At the time, reporters passed it off as a jovial attempt to cover for her nerves.

However, today she has cleared the air and officially reported: she’s really a man.

Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit.

By the age of 13, Mitchell had already started a career as a female child performer called ‘Megan Fox’. Making her debut on an Olsen Twins straight-to-video release, the twins have kept his secret all this time.

As a sweet 16 present, Fox’s parents offered him sexual reassignment surgery, which, given their child’s career, they’d hoped to write off as a business expense. Unfortunately laws prohibit such surgery to be done to minors.

Since then Megan has been working non-stop, and been included on many Hottest Women lists in publications around the world.

Megan, as she goes by now exclusively, also noted this Sunday how much she wants Salma Hayek’s figure. She has even scheduled surgery later this month to get it. After the two met in New York this week, Hayek offered to have a cast made of her bust so doctors can match them exactly on Megan Fox’s chest.
The internet is already speculating whether this news will be worked into the plot of the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Yep, that end's my report for today :) Interesting eh? You bet i know how to make a come back!

Feeling Fresh (≧ω≦)

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Early morning to all you night owls, vampires, werewolves.. haha.

Well, it's past 1am for me and its Easter for most of you celebrating it in the Western countries! :) Have a wonderful day spending time with your families going on Egg Hunts and more, so be sure to cherish them. So, finally, i've pushed myself to blog today since i've been bugged and without peace by many bloggers to update my freaking blog/site.. well guys, here you have it.. i've posted! Be happy! :p

And yes.. i've only typed like 3 paragraphs and went on doing something else, my bad.

How's life everyone? Mine would pretty much be at my worst for this past week. I've been down with a pretty bad flu, high fever, sniffles and pretty much everything else from aching body to massive splitting headaches. Thank God i didn't get the cough or i'd be doomed.

Besides my temporary illness, i've head a pretty productive and eventful week. Hosting and of course, being part of events. Don't you like it at times when people recognize your talent and genuinely accept you into society and call you to do the job? It feels good when you've accomplished something over your own hard work. Being part of a Microsoft event was one of the very few events i was happy and proud to be part of, helping out a friend who was in dire need of some assistance, it went well.. and 2 days ago went to support a friend who's in one of the country's most popular Talent Competiton.

Taken from personal experience, you can always find a different spark in every individual. But there's always one flame that everyone has. Determination. You can either be goal oriented and determined to chase your dreams no matter good or bad. As long as theres spirit and determination, theres always a chance you'd be able to succeed. Hopefully, the right thing. ;)

After a nice warm shower with such a crazy weather lately, it felt great coming out fresh. Things have been a little rough lately but after a few heart to heart conversations, i'm surely glad it turned out alright. At least, for now.. and always think positive if you wanna live a better life no?

I can't say much now though since i need to rest as much as i can, but hey? Here's a little something to let you drool.. hahah!

What do you think about the picture on your left? :p Tasty eh? I'll share the recipe with you some other time.. and i have recently watch ALOT of movies and am all geared up to write a few reviews about them.

A little spoiler here would be reviews about movies like Bedtime Stories, Taken, Confessions Of A Shopaholic.. and a few new games, and the big surprise would be a new bang that's in dire need of support and my close relative plays as one of the leads, so will have a nice write up on his behalf to let all of you be awake of their existance!

Newly Improved Blog ( ´∀`)☆

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello readers! :)

It's been a while since you've been filled in with random encounters i've ran into. I humbly apologize for my delay due to my family members recently swarming in with visits and wanting to spend their days out with me before I depart.. besides getting daily appointments from friends and colleagues alike. I hope that would be enough of a reason to give, considering my absence here.

I don't have anything for today, but I did spend a few hours spicing up my blog's designs. What do you think? (^▽^) I'm actually proud of this. Haha. Maybe the three females are slightly out, but I just wanted to add it there to fill up emptiness? =p Sorry for being really feminine, but hey? I still am female.

My, my.. noticed i've been using those cutesy emotes? I came across a few of them while doing my daily research and recalled my obsession years ago over cute things and anything related to 日本(Japan). As it is, it's either Japanese or Korean fans that are growing worldwide. Cheers to the Japanese and Koreans for their success in dominating the world in a different way, "Entertainment" ( ̄。 ̄)

That aside, i've replaced the default images with my own accounts(which my friend has generously allowed me to borrow/use) and have a new header and banner! It took me a while to understand the codes but i've finally gotten it... *ponders* .. I think? :D

Well, there are a couple of new images up on my blog and a few colour changes, but here's one of my faves:
(=゜ω゜) Cute? Oh, a friend of mine Daisuke has set up a few things for downloads and I decided to use them, on his behalf. I'll be uploading my share of downloads soon so stay tuned and keep your patience. It's a Miku Digital Clock by the way! Click on her! ;) She speaks and then falls back asleep! Haha!

Well, that's about all.. I will post some updates later today, I need to sleep for today and the weekend will be busy days for me. Meetings, documents and of course, spending time with my big bro before he departs too. :( But all the best to him.

MPH Stock Clearance 2009

Carved by ♥ F ♥


Hello readers! :) How was your weekend? Staying home with your family members or out partying with your buddies?

Weekends... what could be more fun and relaxing then to go out and about and have fun? Going to a stock clearance/sale?! Perhaps waking up in the morning to have some nasi lemak, sit down at a mamak and order some teh tarik panas or kopi o'panas? Chowing down to that roti canai and listening to the annoying birds in the morning chirping and cooing their beaks off. Haha.

Works our for the weekend people! Don't just sit home and do nothing, do SOMETHING! Move that lazy butts of yours and go shopping or take your kids out to the malls or catch a movie. You'll never know when you'll have nothing but time to spend on them anymore, or when it'd be your last. They're growing up.. and before you know it, they're out and about, getting boyfriends/girlfriends and there you are pondering and putting the blame on them for not staying home. :)

Kids/teens .. its about time you learn to stop hanging with friends every single day and boycott your parents and older folks. They're not going to be there forever. Take at least a day or two from your weekend or on Fridays to spend time with them if you're just too busy socializing with your new groupies. Taken from personal experience... at a certain age, you'll reach that moment where you'd question yourself why you're still hanging around at home and not out living on your own. And at that time, you'll start to hold back, wanting to break free from your parents but you have that guilt in you. Some of you may not have it at all, and just move out without question. It's all up to you as an individual to know what to do, say and when to take action. :)

A word of advice, spend time with them and when you move out, no matter how stressful it's been, keep in mind that they're still your parents who brought you to life and in time, once you learn to forgive, you'll get treated even better and you'll see them wanting to hang out with you, joke with you and help out as much as they can. Parents have a thing, most usually don't realize it.. that when they have problem child's or anti-parent-social children, they tend to nag and criticize their own children more but once they move out, they start to realize that there's something missing and without question, and pure instinct, they start to give in and be friendly.

Anyway, that aside. Weekends are the best days of the week! What are you doing? *gasps* Did i mention S A L E!? Hah! You heard me right! ;) I was informed by a fellow ex-colleague of mine about the sale but completely forgot about it due to work and my preparations overseas.

Malaysian Talents - Andrew L.D

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey readers! Yes, i'm posting yet again for the 3rd time in a day. Give me some credit and lemme hear those cheers!! "Hip~Hip~Hooray!!" I'll be introducing you to a buddy of mine! Been addicted to blogging for the day and feeling restless therefore i'll shed some light and share some interesting info about our local Malaysian talents/celebrities. *takes a deep breath*

Have any of you heard of Andrew L.D? Those who have... cheers for you and to those who haven't, don't worry.. you're not at the bottom of Today's Talent Headlines! Infact, i'll shower you with a little bit of background information of one of today's leading talents, Andrew L.D!

  • When he first held a guitar at age 11, Andrew LD knew that this was what he was born to do – to make music.
  • Malaysia born and of mixed parentage (Chinese and Indian), he has been composing music and song lyrics since he was 13. Besides arranging and producing his music, he also sings all of his own compositions. He plays the various instruments you can find on his compositions, such as the guitar, keyboards, drums and synthesizes.
  • Experienced in performing at various events here in Malaysia, he recently “soft-launched” his promotional album (a collaborative effort with 2 other artistes – Simon Michaels, and Muneer – formerly from Urban Method) on 30th August 2008 here at Penang’s Sunset Bistro on the beach. The event was a great success, and 200 promotional autographed cds were given out to the crowd. The audience was given a little taste of what is contained on his upcoming first album “ANDREW L.D. – Walking Star”, which is due to be released year-end 2008. The songs range from pop, rock, rhythm and blues, reggae, ballads, trance, to ethnic and gothic melodies. He explains the diversity ...“I love music, all types of music, so I write all types of songs to suit every taste of my life”. As for the album title and title track, he explains that “The walk of life is difficult, full of bumps in its winding roads, but it can be overcome by putting our minds to it. …We are all stars, special in our own way. Begin by loving yourself…and everything else around you will love you too”.
  • Aside from his album, Andrew has another project in the works of which he deeply believes in. Entitled Project “United Malaysia”, it is a song he is currently working on, and will involve any Malaysian wanting to participate in the video. Whether they be from the private or government sector, actors, artistes… as Andrew puts it “All races and faces. For mankind… for a United Nation... a United Malaysia”.
  • Besides all this keeping him busy round the clock, Andrew also has his own company – Impressive Talent Agency – in which he has been organizing events for other artistes and companies for the past few years.
If you're looking for chill music just to sooth your mind from a long day at work, Andrew's "It's Ok" is just the song for you, or say it's the end of a weekday and you're in the mood to party? Turn up your speakers, tune the woofer and blast Andrew's "Feel Like Dancing" and get those legs tangled up with his beats.
W A I T!! It doesn't stop there! :) Not only does he provide chill and party music, he actually has Pop, R&B and .. *pauses* .. what's this!? Love songs? He's got it all. My personal favourite is "Not My Soul" which is soothing, calm, and has meaning to it and if you're wanting something slightly upbeat, listen to "Curves" and move your body! :p

He's also recently released yet again another song called "Sexy Candy" not more than 4 days ago..!! It's got 3 versions. Radio edit, Underground & Parental Advisory. (I have all three.. ;p) If you're lucky, you may be able to get all three. This new song is filled with juicy, sexy, kinky and arousing words that just makes your body tingle while building your lust. Go listen/download it and you'll see what I mean :)

If you'd like to know more about Andrew, and listen to his works.. please support & visit him at: http://www.reverbnation.com/andrewld

Don't forget to Purchase his Album once it's released! ;)

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Carved by ♥ F ♥

As a video game fan, i have to admit, if we view this from a "gamers" perspective.. it would be a complete epic fail. But if it were to be viewed by people who want to watch it just for a "movie" or for the cast, then sure, it was a B-Grade movie. Or maybe B+ if you are feeling nice.

Overall, i laughed through the whole screening... all i can say is that Chun-Li was just over-kill. The fight scenes were well acted and choreographed but definitely not the timeline of the battles....... and the storyline was so old-school. Easily guessed with no suspense and may i say a decent plot? It makes me wonder if the only reason why they made this a movie which will target young or maybe slightly older audience is none other than Kristen Kreuk. That girl really kicked ass. Lol. But it was just too over-dramatic and too much : " OMG!! I am gonna kill you for destroying the peace of Bangkok!! " Or " No please.. don't kill my father..! NOO!! I'm gonna kill you for doing that! " ... and might i add in the "Lesbian" act between Chun-Li and Bison's "female friend" who he ended up slapping to death?

That was just not very eye appealing, even for FAN SERVICE.

It was LAME. And what's with Bison? Is he a wanna-be Edward Cullen from Twilight? The "pretty boy" act when he had to "deliver" his goodness to his unborn daughter by doing Kakashi's(from Naruto) 1000 years of pain at his wife's belly. Oh right, after that.. his eyes turn from a bright blue to black/dark brown but the former Bison still has BLUE eyes? Geez. And after killing Chun-Li's father who looks no older than 35, he looks for his daughter who is his "greatest weakness" and adding up to the confusion would be the lack of subtitles for Chinese, Thai and French, unless it was already added in, since I didn't get that version.

This was a waste of time to watch as a fan, but worth it as a chill movie. And I disliked how they failed at pronouncing the names of the characters. Ryu ended up being Rai-Yu. *sighs* I would indeed be surprised if this tops Punisher 2 - War Zone. Good luck is all I can say and if there were EVER to be Street Fighter 2 .. i pray Rai-Yu won't look like Hiro Nakamura or i'll run out of the cinema screaming.

That's all for my movie review regarding this "long-awaited " movie.

Blogging Mood

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey all! :)

Hope everyone's doing fine at this moment. My days started off pretty normal for the past few weeks. Working as a freelance event coordinator and music composer before i head back to the States, hmm.. life.

Oh, i've moved and this will probably be my permanent site. The old one, http://ohwatsoever.blogspot.com/ is no longer active therefore no need for more visits there.

To feed that little curious mind of yours.. pondering at the name of my blog, Why BloatedBlob? Well, here's your answer. BloatedBlob is my nickname for my bluetooth connection in my cellphone, therefore explains this. *chuckle*

Having said the above, now onto my blog. Yesterday, a friend added me onto msn and told me to check his blog, and knowing me.. I decided to work on mine.. which I usually update once a month. Haha. So! Here we have it.. I humbly apologize for the simplicity of my designs. My mind hasn't been cooperating with me lately. I spent more than 12 hours on this yet it looks so simple. *shrugs* Besides googling for a decent standard + simple template, I searched for some tutorials on how Blog designing works and made a few personal samples which i've kept in my HDD. On top of that, i've been trying to figure out how to add SWF/Flash files into a blog. Converting them into animated gif's aren't hard but sometimes, due to the amount of frames, it would make the image lag therefore not advisable. I'd rather upload the swf file directly than converting it.

Here's a sample:
Photobucket
Anyway dear readers, from now onwards you'll be seeing quite a number of posts by me related to movies, life, work and many other aspects of humanity so to speak. :p

That's all.

Contemplation

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey all, missed me? :)

Hmm... still wondering what to start today's blog with..

Alright, i'm wondering how was everyone's Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day? :)

Good? Bad? Normal? Boring? Heh, well.. that's something that i'll be telling you about in my later posts after i'm done with today's subject.

Have you ever reached a road where you're feeling trapped and lost? Feeling as though each route would lead to different paths yet reach a certain goal that'll make you successful and happy?

Thinking about this has recently got me wondering.. what if choices were much more simple? Would it have been easier for us to select among the very few opportunities flashed right in front of us? Or would it have been harder? That will always remain a mystery for every individual makes their own choices and they choose their own life.

Lately, i've come across several dilemma's that made me stop and look back at my own options. Being offered many opportunities has always seemed to be something many individuals would immediately lunge into thinking it'd be a once-in-a-lifetime to change their lives. Well my readers... thats not really the right choice imho.

Wondering why?

When opportunities arise, there are some who think twice and some who jump right into it and take the risk. Many fail due to their lack of consideration and they let their desires take over.. some, in many rare cases think twice and fill up as many loop holes as possible before diving into it.

To be honest, either way.. you get good and bad results out of them. :) It's all based on your determination and what you feel is right. Sometimes, due to lack of support and motivation, some individuals tend to sway to a different direction and get carried away while some stay focused. It's all the power of your mind.

For myself, i've realized i'm pretty much stuck in the middle of a path that's divided in two. Both lead to success but are over 1000 miles apart. Choices have never really been my thing so i'm going to go by my gut feeling and what would be more convenient for me. Pressure & finance free, yet achieve the same goal but with a different time limit. ;)

If there's ever anything you feel you'd choose which might end up disappointing others, don't think about it directly but think of what benefits you more. Take the option that will always benefit you more in terms of life and stability and not the other which may lead toward a bumpier road but same goal.

Remember, time and tide waits for no man. You are one person. Do NOT rely on others to do your work for you. The power of perceive, is the power is achieve.

CNY Irony

Carved by ♥ F ♥


Hello all! :)

This will be my first report based on my personal experience over the years of attending Chinese New Year gatherings and festivals. Like the oran
ges on the left? Hahah. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you bloggers! ♥

♥ Being a Chinese mix and brought up the Western way, I found out that even though these kinda festivals were meant to be celebrated with lots of joy, it has changed to something gloomy. God knows why, and I believe things happen for a reason.

The usual thing would be to head over to your elders house where the rest of the family members would be and spend the New Years Eve there. It's not compulsory to be there at early sunrise but at least around the day when the hour strikes noon. :D

So, what would 2009's Chinese New Year have in store for me this time? :)


Well, packing up around 9am we headed to our other home. As usual, arriving there.. dad parking the car, maids coming out to carry the stuff we brought.. we go in, greet the elders etc etc need i elaborate more? Its pretty much the same as any other celebration/festival, only celebrated by different races and cultures. Celebrations like these that happen once a year used to be one of the most joyful times ever. Back in the olden days, every race would be celebrating it together in harmony, smiles on the old folks faces, childrens laughter being heard from a block away as they run around chasing each other.. it's 2009, things have changed. Thinking about this wouldn't change anything. It's better to put the past behind and walk through the new experiences yet to be faced.

Lunch was simple, the typical Chinese lunch with all the necessary dishes to complete a balanced diet. Later that afternoon was just like every other day. Lazing around on the couch, listening to the happy chatter of the folks .. and going into my grandparents room and taking an afternoon nap.. that scent. Old, slightly musty, the smell of the powder the
y use.. its just something unforgettable. Ever thought about it? :)

Finally, woken up by a familiar voice.. my mother. The very person who brought life to me. That stern yet loving tone, waking me up to have dinner. Crawling out of bed, I edged my
self to the corner to regain balance since I was pretty much half awake. Taking a few steps to the bathroom, I hear the shower on and yet again another familiar voice. My grandfather. Singing in the bathroom. Do you find that a classic? Having the old folks singing? It makes me wonder at times, when time passes by.. and nothing but silence surrounds the house that was once occupied with many familiar faces and voices.. heh. The irony of it all. It makes us realize that time and tide, waits for no man. Sadly, not many people know the importance of time well spent.

Well, that aside. Being rather grumpy, my patience wasn't the best of me at the very moment so I decided to grab my bag and head upstairs to my cousins room to have a nice warm shower. That girl, laying comfortably on her bed watching her favourite Korean drama. Teens... they have yet to learn the simplicity of life and the main priorities. *chuckles*

Walking into the shower, letting the water flow while scrubbing myself with my milk bath.. the scent. Mmm.. its fragrance leaves nothing but an unexplainable feel to it that would put you in ecstasy as you inhale more of it after the shower. :p To top that off, lovely Dove and Shiseido shampoo + conditioner. Even more of a girls dream, being lavished with lovely fragrance and moisture that'll make them feel fresh, awake and brand new. Try that without wasting your time filling the bathtub with lemons.. imagine wasting your precious time running to the nearest grocery store to purchase the freshest lemons and then rushing home, cutting them then setting the right temperature in the tub..haha.


Well girls, if you ever want to do it the "old-fashioned" wa
y, be my guest. Just giving my point of view. Fast, easy and works just as good with the exact results and even better. :)

Having done with my shower, I plopped myself onto m
y cousins bed and watched a Japanese drama. Oh, don't mind me.. I am not into those things like a rabid fangirl but I have to admit I do have my fair share of dramas and animation. This one was different. It involves 2 individuals of the same sex. How's that for a change? Watching something acted by real people and having a mere 15 year old telling you she loves those intimate things? The world.... surely has changed. Seeing a little "chick flick" is perfectly fine in my book and I thank God, that episode I watched was nothing more than a mere "fluff" relationship. However, she has told me stories of the things she's watched and writes with the rest of her 15 year old friends. Now, being way older than her, I have to admit yet another surprising thing about me... I'm open and learn alot. But sorry to break your heart my fans, i'm not a rabid "gay" fangirl.

Finally, dinner. I wonder what we're gonna have? Juggling my thoughts, I though why should I stress in guessing what our new year eve's dinner would be? Mi
ght as well sit back and enjoy the surprise. :) So, without further ado, here are some pictures:


STEAMBOAT
♥




Honestly, this was something I didn't expect. It has been a while since we've had a family dinner where everyone would have to chip in a little bit of effort to serve for each other. It was an experience which I realized, even though you have a family with alot of problems, no matter how bad it seems, no matter the differences.. there's always a time where all those feelings, troubles, hatred and dissatisfaction among each other aside and have a form of bonding at a gathering for a holiday/celebration. This honestly is something worth learning and appreciating. These times and memories cherished, bitter and sweet but each year, something new is created and at the very year, on a very special date, time, year and occasion when looking back and reminiscing it will you then realize how annual celebrations really do patch things up for at least a day during the day itself where everyone would share and have the same feelings. Happiness.

Though coming from different experiences and opinions of one another, having tiny spit-fires.. every family would settle down for some desert. :p

Check out the delicious sugee cake on the left hand side. It was given by one of our distant relatives.. though not meeting its standards, it was enough to keep the family happy with a little desert.

And that's what I cherished. The efforts and generosity of each individual. Be it friends, family and even enemies. There's always a common ground, and it usually falls on one of these wonderful celebrations. :)


Before heading back, we had a Red Packet "ang pao" giving ceremony, where the elders/those married would give some money inside a red packet for luck and prosperity, also, another one of the very few things done during Chinese New Year is pray. I managed to catch my grandma doing some preparations for the Chinese New Year prayer. Each family member would take a jawstick and pay their respects and pray to the Goddess of Mercy, Quan Yin.

The picture on the right shows how it looks like and yes, those are real fruit which we'd eat after a week.

Having that said, ends my blog regarding Chinese New Year. To those out there reading, make sure you learn to appreciate these moments! You will never know how long and when it'd be your last celebration with your friends, family and loved ones.

Learn to treasure these things and appreciate what you have.

Believe me readers, better realizing it now than later... sometimes it can be too late and you'll regret not trying harder and spending time creating memories and taking advantage of what God has offered each year as a reunion among all loved ones. :)
