Today.

I woke up disappointed because I realised that I still do not have a ragdoll kitty in my life.





Ragdoll cats go limp when you hold them! Eeeeeeee. As much as I love Cek Mek (current house cat) she struggles if we ever try to hold her like that. Ragdoll kitty, come to mama! You'll never have to walk again <3

Today was a fun day at college!

Started out feeling a bit down cause I was cranky cause I haven't seen Nazim for awhile and won't be seeing him for awhile :( LDR *sigh*

(Also because my mom woke me up - okay, it was getting late anyway - from a dream I had of a murder mystery. Sigh... now I will never know who is the killer)

After the morning class, some of us stayed back and started talking and turns out they all were in LDR too! And they were in worst situation... and talking about it with people who understands the feeling made me feel better.

I was craving for Manulife but my friends had to go to Ali Maju, so I just followed. The bus was *hooot* for some reason. (Nisha would understand this). After Ali Maju, we passed by the lower foyer and they were selling membership for a website for RM50. Some kind of social government website not too sure. Anyway, we would also get a voucher book which was totally worth it. So we all signed  up. And got lucky draw! (I love competitions!)

Had some fun some more, played cards, went to lucky draw and won!

WOoh.

Okay, so I'm not so enthused to blog anymore. :( Forcing myself so I will get in the habit.

*ends abruptly*

Magika review.

It was accidental. I was scrolling through the facebook feed when I came across this video. 

I have never heard of Magika before, but I saw it was Syarifah Aleya & Amani so I clicked play. And if you clicked play above, you can see how cute they both are and how catchy the song is. The moving trees weren't so bad, and at first look the costumes were not bad. Ziana Zain@Nenek Kebayan was a bit over the top but as I watched the video for the tenth time (in a row, on the same day), it was quite acceptable. 

Watching the above video made me desperately wanting to watch the movie but it was also my undoing. :( From the above video, youtube recommended to watch the trailer so I did. The trailer sucks and it gave away everything. I knew Mawi was Badang and M.Nasir was the Penunggu Tasik Chini. Also it made me have high expectations for the movie....

After watching it today, it was pretty meh. Not bad, and maybe ever so slightly leaning on being quite good. 

Synopsis

Malik is grumpy-wumpy and hid in the forest. Ayu, his elder sister, came searching for him. Malik heard some music and fell into  a well which transported him to Magika. He was captured by Nenek Kebayan who wanted his tears for her Jamu Muda. Ayu went down to rescue him meeting a few characters until getting the help of Bad@Badang. Finally, the siblings manage to escape through the portal at Batu Belah Batu Bertangkup despite a dragon and a witch and a short dude. 

What I disliked

(starting with negatives first)

Maya Karin is uber pretty and I never expected to see so many of her! It was quite funny at first but it was then quite fun to watch. What I disliked was the small crown on top of her head. So unnecessary, didn't notice it in the youtube video but in the cinema screen it was annoying and distracting.

While we're on costume, I dislike Nenek Kebayan's sunflower at the back of her head. Doesn't fit. 

Falling in a well and then an explosion of colour purple as they were in the water just reminded me of Enchanted. :/ I think they shouldn't have used purple.

MAWI. Sorry, I'm not a fan. No hair, long hair; still not a fan. I never thought that he played such a prominent role in the movie. If he was, maybe they shouldn't have mentioned that he was Badang in the trailer. I think it would have been more fun for me to figure out who he was since he introduced himself only as 'Bad' to Ayu(main character).. DAMN YOU TRAILER! And he's not strong pun!!

Again, I think I would have liked it more if it had less Mawi. When Ayu first fell she met a few other characters, Pak Pandir, Mahsuri etc. They should have kept it like that. Songs that were sung by Ayu & Bad were so boring. 

All the rempit words they inserted. (examples: agak-agak, masyuuuk, etc) UGH. I hated the Senario part altogether.. painful to watch. Sorry but they're just not funny!!

What I liked

Despite not liking the Bad & Ayu thing, I thought they handled the ending well. I wouldn't approve of either going to the other world, they just don't belong! But the returning of the hairband and all the Ayu written on the trees was sweet and at least it comforted Ayu that Bad survived (the last Ayu left him, he was left to fend off the witch, the dragon and the short dude)

LOL. To be honest, I thought their ending would be Bad wearing Ayu's hairband. :p

Bawang Putih Bawang Merah! They should make a sequel, seriously! Maybe have them visit our world instead? Ahhh, kecomelan squared. I need more Adibah Noor too!

Fat and old Puteri Gunung Ledang. The exchange between her and that Kelantanese guy was funny too. 

All the characters were interesting, except for the Awang guy cause I'm not too familiar with the folklore maybe. The peribahasa incorporated were pretty good too. "Jangan sangka air tenang tiada naga" "Buayalah!" and "Hutang emas boleh dibayar, hutang budi..." love how that was important in the ending. 

M.Nasir. Not really a fan and again, I knew he was the dragon somehow.. so I wasn't really surprised but his singing is aweeeesome. I like how he gets angrier and angrier. 

The dragon has awoken! 

 Anyway, this is the first review I have ever written so it's a bit here and there. (Procrastinating from doing assignments). I hope Malaysian movies will keep on improving! :) 

3. 22 and 1.

Went to a Raje's birthday party shared with her little niece.

So many babies at the party!! Gosh, I really should start taking pictures again :(

Talking to the sky.

My friend went off to UK this morning to complete her final year. I feel really guilty for not sending her off, but I really wanted a day where I can sleep in. Waking up early is exhausting. Anyway, good luck Azdianur (if you are reading)! Can't wait to see you back here next year. :)

Once I had enough beauty sleep, I went out with Nurul. She picked me up and as we were reaching a bus stop, we saw a crazy woman sitting there.

We knew she was crazy because of her gestures. She was sitting by the street under the hot sun.

As we got closer, we had a shock, because we knew this lady!!



Back in 2006, right after SPM, Nurul and I worked at a restaurant. There, we met this woman. She was a bit annoying because she tends to nag non-stop. She was weird because she LIKES eating food that has expired, close to expired or spoiled in anyway. A mutual friend told us it was because she used to go through rough times and she salvaged any food and made sure that none got wasted. However, she has conditioned herself so much until it seems she prefers rotten food!
An example would be, a colleague bought curry puff for each employee. She refuses to eat her share even after us repeatedly telling her that it was specifically bought for her, so what we did was we left it at the counter. The next day, she promptly came by and ate it! She'd rather eat it a day old rather than fresh.

From what I remembered, she got divorced and her only daughter dislike her. Probably because she was naggy. Okay, how annoying is she? She's mopping the floor and I was blocking the way, she could have just said,
"Excuse me" and I would have gladly moved.

Instead, she tapped me at the shoulder, "Sorry ah. Sorry ah. I say nicely you jangan marah ah. I want to mop the floor, before the customers start coming in then the restaurant is clean, after this I mop in front and then mop again, but I need to mop here now. You move here ah. Sorry ah. Just need to mop this place bla bla bla"

But she's polite-lah, just that something simple she can make it so long and draggy.




Lost contact with her after the restaurant closed down.

I still can't shake that image of her crazy grin, talking alone at the side of the street. She looks really tan :( must have been out in the streets for a long time.

1. Create

According to my friend, this is so me. "This" is a logo I created for a group project for Adv. Marcom class. We are to form an agency and develop an IMC plan for a company. The lecturer said to be professional, well you gotta have a logo for an agency! :p


Okay okay, so logo was not even part of the project outline but I couldn't resist. The decided name for the company was CR8.


In the logo, there is a Black C, a White R,.. which overall forms the number 8. Red box cause red is bold and umm, we think out of the box? The red box was a last minute addition, that of course made perfect sense now. (Perfect sense cause if the number 8 was in a box it looks to much like a TV channel, and also initially I just wanted the 8 to be black, gray and white. But I didn't want a white element with black outline.. so yeah, sorry for rambling on the design process)


How I love design! :)








Anyway, I am here back in blogspot again thanks to Vox closing down. I is sad.


I'm gonna be a little less critical on myself and post whatever shit I want in my blog.
