Movie update..

Constantine

Great movie. Watching Keanu Reeves as Constantine still reminds me of Neo in matrix. I read somewhere that his character is supposed to be British, but I don't think it's a british accent coming out of his mouth. The story's a bit merepek (well, they did adapt it from a comic book). Tells about John Constantine, a guy who can see demons and worked as a demon hunter to save his soul from being sent to hell. Demons are becoming more common in the world and he's worried. Then, there's Angie Dodson, a police detective who thought there was something wrong with her twin's death. She doesn't think it's suicide although everyone else thinks so. Apparently, her twin could see things as well. So, she turned to JC (malasnye nak taip name die ni,panjang sangat) for help. Together, they uncovered a sinister plot of demons trying to take over the world. Bla showdown bla exorcism bla death bla bla. Go watch la. A question to people who have watched the movie, is Gabriel supposed to be a woman or a man in that movie?


Taxi

Is this supposed to be the Hollywood remake of the french movie by Luc Besson? If it is, then don't waste your time watching this. Go watch the french version instead. It's more fun. Though if you prefer watching hot chicks, this movie would be fine. It has Gisele Bundchen(supermodel and Leonardo di Caprio's girl?) playing a thief. Oh but be warned, the main actress is not a model though, it's Queen Latifa.

Weekend update

Hmm quite a happening weekend for last week

First up was the LSE MSS Nite thing, which was supposed to start at 7pm which actually meant 8pm Malaysian time :P . And to think we actually rushed because we thought we were late (we as in Nun, Bob, Yat, Wei Ting, Kasya and me). Baby, Aida, Drog, Mimi, Siewch, Natte' and Shasa were the first group to perform. They did very well indeed but they couldn't beat the Indian dance performed by two girls which won the first prize. They were so energetic and I wonder how they were able to keep it up for almost 10 minutes I think. Must have been a great way to exercise. There were then a few sketches and songs. Jin(Kasya said he looked like Radhi OAG) was pretty unlucky because the overhead projector failed in the middle of his presentation. Even the audience were dissappointed when we were told that the problem couldn't be rectified. It was a really fun presentation. After the nite ended, we thought of watching a movie but ended up talking/gossiping till late at nite in my room. Oh, and we played on ebay as well. Nun actually won a bid on a 100ml bottle of J'adore perfume.

The next day, Nun went out with Bob to Harrod's, just for the sake of buying Krispy Kreme donuts. Heh I think you could actually get them form Sainsbury's or Tesco. I decided to cook up some mihun soto and luckily, it turned out ok. That night, we watched Jackie Chan's 'New Police Story'. We almost didn't finished watching it because of technical difficulties. First, my laptop refused to play the dvd after about 10 minutes. Then we went to Yat's room to use her laptop. After 40 minutes, it was her laptop's turn to hang. Finally we decided to try it on Bob's laptop. Luckily it turned out ok eventhough his speaker wasn't working very well. Not like it mattered because we couldn't understand what they were saying anyway. The movie was originally in cantonese but we ended up with mandarin audio. Plus, we ended up having Malay subtitles because the menu was all in chinese. Nasib baik bukan bahase siam yang keluar. We spent the rest of the movie laughing at the subtitles and wondering whether it was correctly translated or not.

IMO, the story's great, with typical Jackie Chan's choreographed fighting scene. Although this story was more serious than the previous Police Story movies, it also had it light and funny moments. Basically it tells of Inspector Chan and his effort to catch a gang of bank robbers who loved to shot policemen, as if it was a game to them. After his whole team was destroyed during the operation to capture the thieves, Chan turned to alcohol and became severely depressed as he believed it was all his fault that his team were dead. Along came a new recruit who became his partner and encouraged him to buck up and catch the thieves for revenge. If you want to know the rest, you watch it la..

Sunday, I had to woke up early because Nun had to catch her bus at 11. Since circle/district lines were not in service, I sent her to the stop in front of Saint Paul's Cathedral to catch a bus straight to Victoria. As usual, there were lots of tourists taking pictures of the Millennium Bridge and the cathedral. Heh must take pictures there before the end of the summer term.

Spent the rest of the day watching movie again..updates in next entry..

My-HiME

There are two versions, anime and manga. Usually if a story is available in manga and anime, both will essentially be the same with only minor variations occuring(e.g Naruto). However, My-HiME is totally different.
Both have the same characters, but totally different storyline. It revolves around girls with extraordinary power, the power of HiME (highly advanced materialising equipment) where they can materialise some kind of robots to fight monster named orphan. In the manga, the Himes need keys-a boy who can help them unlock their 'child'[the robot things]. This I think is the main difference because in the anime, the Himes can call upon their child at will with no help from the keys at all. Both are filled with cool fighting scenes and the soundtrack of the anime is especially good. It has one haunting song, this song(but the accent's so strange..). More infos can be found here

It's Only The Fairytale

Who are those little girls in pain
Just trapped in castle of dark side of moon
Twelve of them shining bright in vain
Like flowers that blossom just once in years

They're dancing in the shadows
Like whispers of love
Just dreaming of place
Where they're free as dove

They've never been allowed to love
In this cursed cage
It's only the fairy tale they believe

Snow?

Waah it snowed in London! More like a light snow shower. No chance of building a snowman here. Still, I was pretty excited to see the snow shower because people said it seldom snowed here. Heheh I guess if you've been living in a tropical country your whole life, you'd be excited too. Ah well, it was only for a short while. Macam hujan renyai-renyai je.Tak sempat tangkap gambar pon.. The weather's been pretty cold lately, so I guess it's just natural for it to snow.

Movie update: I watched Boogeyman and White Noise. Both are OK I think. Almost typical horror movies. Boogeyman's a bit hard to relate to, because I've never imagined a monster in my closet or under my bed. I'm pretty sure it's true for most of you too kan? The story's so-so, relying on sound effects to scare you out of your seat. [Now, if it was Qis who was watching this, I think she would scream..] Hm White Noise..go read what Nieze had to say. I'm just too lazy to type. Oh and I watched Phantom of the Opera too. Prefer the theater version to the movie. Yat & Baby would understand. Hahah..

Winter...

Urgh. Horrible British weather. Here I thought winter was coming to an end with the sun shining brightly outside my window. But once I stepped out of the front door, brrrr...it's so cold! And then there's the strong wind blowing. Try walking across the Thames with an icy cold wind blowing. It's sure an adventure on its own. If you're lucky, the wind will push you forward, but more often than not, you'll either be blown sideways or backwards. Hmm..I pity the people in Southampton. They said the winds there are more terrible.

I did another one of those tests that people always posted on friendster. This time it's about which tarot cards represents you best. Ala..the cards which people use to tell fortunes, with weird pictures on it. Not the one where you play solitaire, bluff or..aiseh forgot the game that Roggy loved to play with Jid during OBS. I could still remember their screams when playing. Hahah..Ok back to the tarot cards..which one do you think I get? I saw other people obtaining the star, sun, moon and even the fool, but I totally didn't expect to get....DEATH! Hmm makes me wonder wheter I've got some kind of twisted personality? Do you think so?

AArggh got abstract works to hand in tomorrow. Help!!

Happy ..... Day!

Fill in the blanks yourself..

Wishing cik Arfa a happy 21st birthday!
Semoga panjang umur & murah rezeki la ye..This year xdapat la nak simbah2 air lagi. Hahaha..
