Hooked on TV

I won't update about the raya celebrations. It's been done by everyone. Plus I haven't got any pictures to share..
I'd rather update on the current shows I'm watching. Hishh..got hooked on a couple of new shows..Well, almost the whole flat is currently glued to the screen every evening after dinner :p

1. Prison Break
A new show in the US about Michael, who purposely got himself into prison for the purpose of breaking his brother out of the prison. He believes his brother, who is on the death row for killing the Vice President's brother, to be innocent. This guy's one brilliant strategist and he has planned their escape well. But no plan is ever perfect. There're bound to be hitches sometime. Nonetheless, he's pretty confident of his plan because he helped design the prison hahah...This show stars Wentworth Miller[the younger brother in Dinotopia] as Michael. isk..that's the only name I could remember..heheh..Pretty interesting because we know he's a good guy who had to mix with the bad guys to get things done. There's conspiracy working in the background as well to keep you wondering who really killed the VP's brother..

2. Supernatural
Another show about brothers. This time Dean[Jensen Ackles] and Sam[Dean in Gilmore Girls] are brothers trying to find their missing father and their mother's killer. At the same time, they work as 'ghostbusters', killing evil and help protect other innocent people. People who don't know that they should be afraid of the dark because there are real monsters. One line said by Sam goes something like "When I said to Dad there's a monster in my closet, he gave me a 9mm." So far, I've watched 2 episodes and each one's like watching a short horror movie. The 1st was the scaries so far, maybe because it reminded me of one of the ghost stories we often hear back home...The show got me hooked because I want to find out what thing killed their mother, and what other ghost stories that the director can come up with..It also helped that the 2 brothers are kakkoi :p

3. Amazing Race 8
This one's the family edition. 10 teams of 4 compete against each other for $1M. It's supposed to be a race around the world, but so far they're still racing in the US. Which is pretty boring because one of the main reason I watch this show is because of the participants visit to other foreign countries. But I'd still watch to see whether they do get out of the US. Plus, they have some cameos by past seasons' participants...

4. Hana Yori Dango
Well, looks like I got the whole flat hooked on this series..Now all of us would be waiting impatiently for the next episodes..and the subtitles as well.. Arfa pon dah terpengaruh..haha..

Hmm..that's 4...and then there's the usual staple of CSI, CSI:NY and Desperate Housewives episodes to watch..And I'm still mulling over watching Medium. I watched the 1st season, and I'd like to see what happens in the 2nd one..but it looks like I've got a lot on my plate for now..

Selamat Hari Raya!

Wishing all muslims a happy eid this Thursday[or whatever day you're celebrating..]

Maaf zahir batin..

Nak kuih raya...duit raya..ketupat..rendang..lemang.. haha...

Hana Yori Dango

Ever heard of the Taiwanese series Meteor Garden? It was quite famous a couple of years back. Did you know it was based on a Japanese manga called Hana Yori Dango? Well, it looks like there's now a Japanese version of the drama as well. Currently airing in Japan, this drama stars Matsumoto Jun, Mao Inoue, Oguri Shun etc. [Those are the only names that I could remember hahah]

I've read the manga, but I haven't watched MG. So I can only make the comparison with the manga. So far so good. The story sticks to the manga. The actors & actresses seems to potray the character as depicted in the manga. And it has quite a good theme song as well.. the christmassy Wish sung by Arashi.

What's this story about? Well, to summarise, it's actually the love story between Makino Tsukushi and Domyouji Tsukasa. Tsukasa's the leader of F4, the rulers[or more accurately, the flowers- Flower4] of Eitoku Gakuen. Tsukushi hates her school and went up against Tsukasa when he tried to bully her friend. As a result, Tsukushi's high school life turned to hell as she was 'red-tagged' by F4. Unexpectedly, the bratty and baka Tsukasa began to fall in love in with Tsukushi, while Tsukushi has a secret crush on Hanazawa Rui[the cool member of F4].

This manga is funny because of the ways Tsukasa tried to win Tsukushi's heart. But it also has some endearing and heartwarming moments. Not to forget the fact that it has some moral lessons as well. The heroine is also not some brainless bimbo, but a strong willed and determined girl. I think that's what make it different from other shoujo mangas. The art in this story gets better at the end. You can actually see the difference quite clearly. Compare the drawings in the first volume and the last. Heh..it's totally different.

Back to the drama, Oguri Shun as Hanazawa Rui is totally cool hahah.. Inoue played Tsukushi quite well. And Matsujun..haha I can only laugh at his hairstyle..but his acting is not bad. The settings and costumes in this drama is also good. They really dressed the students up in branded goods[Omega watches, Chanel handbags etc] and have them drive expensive cars. Must have got lots of companies to sponsor them heh..Oh and I love the scene where Tsukushi punched Tsukasa..ahaha..

hmm?

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Some people are bugging me[in the tagboard] for an update..so here's one after a month of silence haha..

I'm back in the gloomy city of London. I've adjusted to the new home..but still hate the central heating..which doesn't seem to work at all. Anyone who wants to freeze themselves are welcomed ;P...thank goodness we still can get hot water..and the net keeps disappearing on me & my housemates..kalah biskut chipsmore..

Hurm..what else is there to write about? Fasting has started more than a week ago..I'm officially the house alarm clock..When I wasn't around, no one woke up for sahur..hahah..Ermm..tomorrow's the pic-taking day for Raya pics to be sent to newspaper..Baju mane yer nak pakai..hahah..

Ergghh..why can't I use torrent? It makes things so difficult..Clubbox is only good for certain types of files..Plus, it's hard to read Korean when you haven't learnt it at all.. haha..

This is more like a collection of ramblings haha..So Dilla, is this a good enough update?

Oh, a happy Ramadhan to all~

Random songs

Well...after more than a month of neglect, I'm back[not sure for how long :p]
Since I've uploaded this song for some friends, I'll post the links here too so that it's not wasted. Don't blame me though if it's already expired. It's valid for a week or 25 downloads, whichever comes first. I wonder if someone could actually guess whose songs is this :p

Kamen
One Day, One Dream - This is a song from Inuyasha, I think...
True Heart
Negai
Ikanaide - My favourite...
Serenade

Crazy about chocolate

Everything in this room is *eat*able. Even I'm *eat*able. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact *frowned* upon in most societies.
- Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I know I promised to watch this movie with several people, but the temptation was too great. Sorry, you guys...
