Blog or Journal… does it matter?

I don’t know about other people but i absolutely hate it when i go to ‘tapau’ food from the hawker centre and there’s a group of girls in front of me. Tak kira lah melayu ke, cina ke, india ke…. they all annoy me! You know the type, the ones that is so lemah lembut, gemalai, pegang sudip macam tak larat.. you know the type?? They would poke and prode the chicken dishes for ages, woy! the chicken is dead, it’s not going to lay eggs in your rice… can you hurry up because i am so hungry, i can eat YOU! Or they would be blocking my way while giggling or lamenting loudly - what to eat…, sheesh! TEPI SIKIT BOLEH TAK?! i am trying to buy food here and unlike you dimwits i KNOW what i want to eat.. (YOU!) Because i am a girl (shut up!) i know that all this girlyshness is an act. In private these so called girly and soft spoken, teeth softer than jello girls will eat like a vavi hutan kelaparan! Those who did not understand i’ll gladly translate it for you - hungry wild boars… There i said it. I have always hated these so called hypocrasy in asian girls. I don’t understand it. Why do they do it? Is it because they were hoping they catch the attention of the males? If that’s the case, i feel sorry for the males who were gullible enough to fall for that. Just because they speak in a soft spoken manner it doesn’t mean that they are shy and sopan santun. It’s actually a cunning and devilish act to get god knows what?? Sorry lah.. hari ni aku teremo pulak. I am tired of watching these so called ‘ayu and berbudi bahasa’ girls acting while buying food at the warung. I fucking hate it!

i took this from http://subterfugemalaises.deviantart.com/art/Susuk-the-movie-teaser-poster-55099117

I take back what i said about saving your money to see SUSUK the movie. The movie sucks! Ok, since i have got that out of the way, this is the definition of susuk and a little synopsis of the movie which i take from here.

Introduction:
su·suk (n)
1. Form; shape; frame.
2. The forbidden practice of inserting and embedding foreign objects such as gold, silver, and diamonds under a person’s skin in order to increase the person’s allure. The wearer will have to respect a few taboos for this magical spell to work, failing which the consequences will be dire. There is also a dangerous variant called susuk keramat which most likely is no longer practiced today.

Synopsis:
Beauty has a price. Soraya is a young trainee nurse who is starting to feel disaffected by her life. A chance introduction to the world of glamour piques her earlier ambition to be a star. She does not succeed at first, but she is told that the forbidden practice of susuk can help. She has to make a choice whether to stay the way she is, or cross the line…. Meanwhile, Suzana is a prominent diva with an air of mystery. She has long been a practitioner of the black arts due to her use of the extreme susuk keramat. Every time she violates a taboo, a human life is required. We follow the eventful lives of these two women until we get to the true secret of this dreaded charm.

Susuk is not as scary as i thought it would be. The film opens with a night market (?) scene where an indian boy asks for coin to throw into the river, praying for the dead mother bla, bala, bla… when .. a skinless corpse of a woman suddenly shoots up from the river… jeng, jeng, jeng… ok i was shocked but when you looked closely at the corpse, it looked a lot like a burnt doll. -3 for scary factor. Then the story opens to a wheelchaired man in a hurry, at the background was this lady singing… when.. the door opens and you get to see Diana Rafar’s face… wooh!.. scary factor just shoot up to +10… I kid, i kid.. sheesh!

I can’t really coment on the stroyline because i am not an expert on susuk and shamans and bomohs but i can critisize the characters of the movie (and the actors who played them) and of course missing links that distracted me from watching the rest of the movie.

1. Like who the hell is Rozana? and why does she suddenly have this liking to Soraya when she has never even met her? I mean , if you dabbled in black magic, wouldn’t you keep it a secret? Because hello!! freak!! I honestly cannot see the relevance of this Rozana’s character, other than she’s the one who introduces Soraya to the susuk bomoh. Don’t even get me started on Aleeza Kassim, what the hell happen to her? Why does she look like a man in drag? So i get that she was a lesbian (in the film and maybe …out?) but what i don’t get, is what is the relevance to the story? Why show that scene where drag queen came out of the pool and shasyaying with her bony ass and subsequently taking off her bikini in front of Soraya? Are you telling me, that drag queen actually has the hots for putter face? ish!! So tak perlu okay!

2. What is the deal with Soraya’s boyfriend, Kamal? Hello, can’t you find someone alive to play that part? I know it would take a ’strong man’ to be attracted to Diana Rafar but settling for a crash dummy is going too far! The guy who played Kamal was unimaginative, unresponsive, looked unintelligent, a stick can act better than that. Even my mother commented and i quote “kenapa mamat ni poyo sangat?” not once but all throughout the movie whenever the said crash dummy appears hence distrupting my ‘concerntration’. he.. Also, please lah.. he looked kinda gay ok? No offense to the gayelles out there..

3. Sofia Jane…. is ‘magnifique’. Even better than when she was in ‘Perempuan, Isteri and dot dot’ Man..! She’s gorgeus! She played that OTT bitch Mona perfectly. *sigh* So pretty…..I have a question though, why does she sound different in this movie? Did they use someone else’s voice, which i know they did for the singing part. Ok that was the funny, Rozana and Mona both talk with a raspy voice, in fact in the case of Rozana it was an octave lower, but when she sings, get this, Rozana is voiced by NORA! NORA! the sweet voiced Nora… tak kena sungguh. At least Sofia Jane can carry off Sheila Majid’s voice but Aleeza Kassim sounding like Nora? Macam langit dengan bumi ok?!

4. Ida Nerina looked gorgeous in a creepy way. She talked in a low voice and sings in an even lower voice that i’m surprised she doesn’t sound like a man! As for her acting it’s first class all the way baby! Just. that. stupid. man. voice! bbrr..! Come to think of it, all the woman in this movie speaks with a low raspy voice. Was it supposed to be sexy? Get real! It’s creepy and annoying ok?!

4. Adlin Aman Ramlie was also gorgeous in that lip gloss kinda way. i have a soft spot for Adlin. I think he is a really talented artist that is often misunderstood because of his crass behaviour. Whenever i watched him in action i think he’s wonderful. Too bad there’s not that many challenging character for him to play. In this movie however, his voice as Dukun Dewangga who is also super creepy and pervert~ish is a joke. I think it was altered digitally making it sounded at times like a constipated chipmunk. WHY! ? Why do that to my favourite actor?! Other than that, Adlin rocks!

5. Other cast includes Hairie Othman who plays a wife abuser. OK, i think with recent reports where Hairie was reported as a deadbeat husband who was caught cheating on his wife (which played a part in his divorce) and how he was stopped from seeing his kids, it was brave of him to accept this part. He played it brilliantly because i felt like kicking his nuts in!

This movie boasts a lot of popular faces and talented actors. There’s a lot of backflashing which was done nicely, pay attention or you won’t get it. I knew what was happening halfway of watching and loose interest. If only the script was better, it could be sensational. See it so you can watched Ramona Rahman ooh and aahh (badly) during the forgettable performance of Suzana. Otherwise save your money and stay home instead..

Last week, we went to the movies to watch The Mummy, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This movie sucks! I was duped! I watched the trailer and saw all the big Hong KONG Stars like Jet Li, Anthony Wong and Michele Yeoh and thought that it would be filled with action kick ass moves but i was so dissapointed. The film start with a narration about the evil emperor and his quest for immortality. This is where you get to see Russell Wong as General Ming, The emperor’s (Jet Li) right hand man. What the hell happen to Russell Wong? He looked ragged, i almost didn’t recognize him. I remembered watching the Joy Luck Club and the Vanishing Son and having a crush on him because he was so sexy but in the dragon tomb he looked tired. Is it because he’s older now? Wow.. age sure is not forgiving on this man. HELLO… Mr. Russel… ever heard of anti-aging serum? Ironic isn’t it that he’s in a movie that is obsess with the elixir of life? I hope he doesn’t go under the knife though, i’d hate to see my secret crush turned into another Mickey Rouke (?).. you know,  the guy who was in 9 1/2 weeks with that lady that used to be married to Alec Baldwin..what’s her name? :P  Having said that, i’d still rub globs of cream on Russell’s face. Pepaws can be sexy too… hahaha….

Anyway, then the movie starts to merepek to the lives of Rick and  Evelyn who foolishly promises each other that they would retire after the war, thus having a very mundane life. I never realise that Brendan Frasier is actually NOT handsome and he looked… old, in fact, why the hell does everyone in this movie looks so old and tired? and why did they have to cast Maria Bello as Evelyn? If you remember, she was in the TV series of Mr & Mrs Smith and Coyote Ugly, as the bar mistress (stupid movie, stupid lines, clearance sale acting….) Well in this film she’s supposed to be a Brit but speaks in a horrible british accent. Who were the producers trying to kid? (Aku yang bukan omputeh ni pun nak torek telinga dengar, apa lagi omputeh betul..) I have malay friends who’s more British than this actress who is paid big moolah and i believe who must have had a voice coach. Come on lah… I pay big money to watch second rate acting? Err.. sorry, ter’emo’ plak.. Anyway the movie escalates downwards from hereon. Luke Ford who played Alex, Rick and Evelyn’s son, is so seriously miscast. He doesn’t have that chemistry with Brendan and Maria, it was hard to believe Alex was their son. In fact every actor in this movie acted badly, save for the Hong Kong stars, they were good. I was so bored, i was tempted to talk hubby to just walk out of the show. Punyalah membosankan. The only star of this movie i can honestly say are the YETIs or the abominable snowman. Seriously, they stole the show from the old and tired humans. It’s a pity their screen presence was short-lived. I like them!

So, there you have it, my review of this movie called; THE MUMMY, TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR. Better save your money to watch SUSUK.. premiering on the 7th August. I watched the making of.. and it sure looked scary. And the cast is promising too, Sofia Jane and Ida Nerina, sure syiok one!

So… this blog was attacked by spam and deemed by google as a parasite site…(ggrrrr..) I thought i had lost this bloody blog but my very nice and smart brother sort it all out and here we are today… Thing is, people who uses firefox still can’t read my blog (like i have a following groupie… *roll eyes here*) so that would be a bummer. But hey, this blog is alive!! and… blog, i promise to try and update every week..

I really admire people who update their blog regularly.  It takes an enourmous creativity to write about something mundane and turn it into a witty anecdote that others would want to read. Anyway, i have been lazy these couple (?) of weeks which explains the lack of a lot of things. Went to the movies a few times. Watched : 

 WANTED - a must see - Angelina Jolie wwoi! Even if it is a story about a fraternity of killers that kills - based on a piece of cloth, which is stupid. Angelina Jolie kinda make up for it, she’s one cool and HOT mama! You know what i mean. I think she’s hotter now that she’s a mother (congratulations on the twins btw!)  than when she was younger or when she was with that Billy Bob guy.

HANCOCK - had so much potential but the plots and story seemed incomplete and rushed. Lots of holes and questions left unanswered. If only they had spent more time on the storyline, it could be brilliant. The CGI effect is great and Charlize Theron, what can i say, amazingly beautiful laddee…

HELLBOY II - ending was a dissapointment, they built up your anticipation and then bzzxxtt….. such an anti-climax. To be honest though, this sequel is not as hot as the first one but since the director is the guy who also directed PAN LABYRYNTH, it has lots more freaky creatures to feast your eyes on. The golden army - huh - did not even make me bat an eye lid. So ‘tidak gagah perkasa lagi menggerunkan’ infact it looked a lot like a round fumbly toy… a toy that can repair itself when it’s broken… THAT (process - when the army re-assemble it self) was cool.. The rest of the cast looked like it was given a make over. Red is still red but looks so obnoxious that it’s funny, Fishtick looked bluer than before. Liz looked hot, cool hair, cooler outfit, still cheesy lines. The bald guy was not funny and at certain point was dispensable.

That’s enough on my reviewing skill. Now let’s talk about sex. Seriously, i want to talk about sex and why i am not interested in doing it. Is it because of hormons? I am seriously lacking in the libido department that i pity Mr.Hubby. What is wrong with me? Am i menopausal? Why do i have no libido? I don’t feel horny, i don’t feel anything… i love Mr.Hubby but i just don’t feel hot for him or anyone else… Shit! I was not like this before! HAVE I LOST MY MOJO???!!! What can i do to reclaim ittt???

So… last two weeks i  was attacked by the flu virus. The fucker left me lying on the bed for days and made me puke every time i wanted to eat something. It… I… was ugly -  snot and other bodily fluids everywhere. I felt like dying. But in all that ’sickness’, i still managed to go to the movies (and regretted it BIG time) hee…..

At first i wanted to watched Kungfu Panda, but the parking lot at the movie theatre that we a.k.a mr. hubby loved [to death] was full. So i [since i was the one who was driving] went somewhere else, to a place that mr.hubby hated so much, just mentioning the name would rupture a blood vessel in his brain that he would pick a fight with me… That my dear friends is how drama king, my husband is. Making a decision about where to go would start with him picking my brains and ends only after i yelled and refuse to talk to him…. It was only befitting that we end up watching - ‘THE INCREDIBLE HULK’ - the movie that i knew he was intent on watching that day…. [told ya he's sneaky...] because kungfu panda was full and we didn’t feel like waiting for 3 hours for the next show… At first i was feeling ok but the aircond in that place was killing me, i end up worse that night and was sick as a wet smelly stocking for 6 days after [whatever lah per~umpamaan tu, i am not liking myself to a dog lah kan..].

Those who knew me.. you know lah my movie reviewing skill… the movie was ok… kind of romantic, in a way that i never thought of when i think of big badly cgi generated green menacing giant. The bad guy - blondsky or something like that.. was just ok. Not that bad, not that menacing, i am much more interested in finding out, what happened to the doctor who helped hulk..  A nice surprise at the end of the film was when ironman made an appearance, so there must be a continuance after this but i read somewhere that Edward Norton? the guy who played hulk was having some problem with the producer of the film or something. So he probably won’t be in the sequel. That’s just sad, i like him as hulk a.ka David Banner, he gives the big green guy a much more interesting personality. Like a teenage emo hulk.. unlike Eric Bana who was good but his interpration was serious, darker and sinister looking, well in my opinion anyway…. ohh… forgot to add, Liv Tyler as hulk’s girlfriend is amazing…don’t know any girl nowadays that would stay if their men won’t have sex lest he became a big green giant, come to think of it, would hulk have a big giant peni~s or would all that stretching and growing, make his peen become non-existant???? hhmmmm….. another thing to waste my time on….. hihi..

Last week, mr. hubby was down with a fever. Since men in general became cry babies when they’re sick, mr. hubby is not excluded. He did not want to go to work, citing his body is aching all over, he feels giddy etc… so off we went to the panel doctor and he got his mc. [This happened on friday] With 2 days off during the weekend which any other normal sane person would be doing,recuperating, mr. hubby went fishing with his buddies! Fishing! Come monday, mr. hubby insists that he’s still not well, conveniently forgetting that he had spent the days before fishing for 9 hours with his buddy! Pergi keja, sakit, pergi mancing, tak sakit pulak! Panel doctor here we come, but to my very dismay, the doctor was not in! The nurse asks us to come back in the evening for consultation. So that evening, i went to the clinic and guess what? no doctor..! We had to go to another clinic that was 40km away. What?! With the oil prices hike recently, 40km out of the way is too much for my already tight budget and i told mr. hubby that i’m expecting a reimbursement later in the month [fat hope..!]. When we get there, the doctor is in, did all the necessary check-up got his mc and guess what?? Mr. hubby had to go for a blood screening the next day because the doctor suspect he has dengue fever. Hummph! Really a good actor, that one, mr hubby!

Last night, my throat had that itchy feeling, i kept hacking like an old hyena. Sudah… I think whatever mr. hubby had [viral flu, i think] is latching on to me…. Boring nyer… my body is in the cold-warm-cold-warm stage, joints aching. I’m feeling woozy and tomorrow, how i wish i can get an mc and shove it up my superior’s a**hole! Haaa!

Eversince i’ve become a’bini orang’ i find that writing requires much energy than i remembered. Jangan nak pikir yang bukan-bukan, aku belum bunting. I have been quite busy with work and everything else at my own home and my mom’s place. So it is acceptable that I am still tired from that event a week [almost two weeks actually..] after… boleh..?

Anyway in between of work [groan..] and housework [more groan..] and wifey duties… [groan.. ala-ala malas..] i managed to drag mr. hubby to the movies last week. We went to watch Narnia : Prince Caspian. The movie’s plot is just like that song - long and winding road - the cgi effect is ok but if you have kids, don’t expect them to sit still for long.. it’ll bore them to tears. If you were awed by Aslan in the first movie, don’t expect to see him much here, Aslan’s appearance was lacking only nearing the end of the movie. Sungguh menguciwakan. I miss that lovable face, that lion Aslan. The rest of the cast is ok, my only complaint is caspian speaks like a dork and he looked too old besides peter. Lord Miraz is brilliant as the villain but Lord Sopespian, orang jahat yang bermuka toya itu, i think usurps him… eleh.. go watch the movie.. nice scenes, especially during the scene when the children return to Narnia, that beach is sooo glorious… heee..

Next movie i’m looking forward to, Kung-Fu Panda… with Jack Black sure funny one… and that extra chubby panda character strikes a chord with me… so alike, soooo cuttee… ahaks!

So much for my movie review skills… hihi..

Praying that i’ll be bestowed good health and robust energy next week… Insyaallah…

The ‘RING’….

The event. Notice my clown like make-up and mr.hubby’s lighter than expected face… hihi.. The partial head with the tiara is my new sis-inlaw’s head.. I had to cut her and that husband of hers out, because it’s my blog and i can. Nasib lah kan….

Speaking of clown make-up, this is not at all what i envisioned my wedding ‘face’ would be like. I was dreaming of an au naturel make-up and instead i end up with theatrical make-up, looking very much like a queen banshee…sshheesshh… That eye-shadow alone, when you chip it clean, can bury an ant’s studio apartment….The foundation, will forever fill-up the said ant’s swimming pool….i so much prefer my au naturel face…[saje lah nak enter frame sebenornya.... hihi] eventhough it is full with acne marks and panda eyes. Awas!! not kung-fu panda he!!

I am now Mrs. WG….. Be back later.
