Loads to update.. but where to start?
Oh first off!

!~Happy Chinese New Year~!


So during this festive season of the year~
My bro came back with his fiancé ;) to celebrate it here~!

mehh! didn't do much tho~
Watched a lot of movies that I missed last year!

Like.. uhmmm.. "What's Your Number?"
& uhmm.. "Your Highness"
& uhmm.. "Banraku"

All of which I will review at the end of this post :)

anyway the days before the start of CNY just went clothes shopping~
Bought 2 new Shirts! with Hoodies! XD
Oh! went to spring for shopping on.. saturday?~
I took that opportunity to meet up with my beloved gan mei who was bz working there.
mmhmm~ had a short chat with her~ Plan on meeting up soon again before she goes overseas :(
aiks! after that! went to catch a movie with the family~

------------------------------------------------------------------

Journey 2 The Mysterious Island (2012)


It was uhmm okay~ it was well a teen movie. ahahax~
so nothing much there. and with Dwayne (The Rock) in it~
I just had to compare it with his previous movie. (no not toothfairy)
I mean, uhmm i think the title was Race To Witch Mountain?
yeah, I prefered that movie. lol! "Journey 2 The Mysterious Island" I'll just rate it 7/10
I do however like how they linked all those classic stories together in this movie :)
Especially since I watched most of those classic movie before
(20,000 league under the sea, Treasure Island, Gullivers travels, etc. etc.)
So yeah! it was like a trip to the past. LOL~

------------------------------------------------------------------

uhmm after the movie, went for more shopping and ate Spring food court.
family ate thai food, i had western with a cup of "Honeydew Delight"
lol! I actually wanted the Honeydew milk tea xD but i was kinda short on cash d :X
so anyway! after that, nothing new happened.
Then the following day 30th night before the start of CNY day 1.
Had dinner out at Tarot Salmon Japanese Restaurant at Batik Boutique Hotel


had my favorite Unagi Katsu
Don ~ ngehehehe!
Best dinner of the month for me :) ahahax
So yeah! my craving for japanese food was satisfied~


mmhmm!

FIRST DAY OF CNY!
went out to visit the aunts and uncles from my mum's side of the family.
had the traditional BeeHoon? for breakfast, blah blah blah.
Stopped by the other aunts and uncles houses..
had lunch at one of their house..
uhmm yeah~ that was my 1st day of cny :\

2nd day still family visiting..

3rd day~! spent it at home, doing... uhmm nothing. Had lunch at mcD tho :D~
ahahax Anna and the gang came by for visiting too.

4th day of CNY my bro and my future sis-in-law went back to KL in the morning.
Then after tat came home and waiting for Jing to pick me up

& FINALLY!
go visit all our buddehs!
There were umm a over 16 of us that went visiting~
lol! first stop was Eric's house of course~
then we worked our way through the entire matang area,
even visited our High School Moral Teacher.
Then work our way down to my house all the way up to annie's house at 7 3/4 mile.
LOL! yeahhh~
it was a funnnn day for sure!
Also! finally got my Gouf Custom from Jing XD

uhmm hmm, ate a little too much CNY food :S
But i guess what nailed the day down was at the last house.


Took a shot of Whiskey :D and played some Black Jack.
At first everyone had their winnings.. woots?
till we changed dealers -_-
I swear~ Annie's probably one of the scarier Card Dealers i know now.

ahahax~ i think everyone left with a slightly more empty wallet then.. D:
still it was fun~
after that, we all said our goodbyes at around 6, and went out separate ways~

lol! reached home at around 6:30? then got a msg from Jing to go out..
So me, jing n junyong went out for dinner at Tarot Cafe.
Chatted about random stuff.. and just chilled out till about 8.
then went home ~ Definitely an awesome day~


then today! the 5th day, didnt do much... :\
spent the morning sleeping, noon out again~
this time to cyber to play them zombie games~ LOL!


yesh it was a boring day! went to meet up with Soon at the cafe.
chatted then came back home, back to boredom.

ahahax... Nothing much to update on now.
It's just nice to actually do soo much in the past few days.
and now its back to boredom and studies :(
still~ I'm rm200 richer now :D yay!
other than that... nothing much happening..

aiight!~
time for the movie review and some music :)

Firstly I wanna review the movies I watched before pre-cny week.
first movie is.


Trust (2010)



THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE!
that I suggest any online junkie, or pretty much anyone who uses a social network should definitely watch.
Its a story on how bad being friends with a stranger can become ;)
a very meaningful story with lots of emotions.
Ending could have been better..
but i guess that'd be the most realistic ending for the movie.
so uhmm yeah....
I rate it 8/10


------------------------------------------------------------------

Also watched

Arthur (2011)



It starts Russell Brand, as the head of a big and rich company.
and how he was forced into an arranged marriage because he isn't serious enough to take over the family business.. blah blah blah and how he met his perfect girl outside the whole thing.
and yeah! a really cool romantic comedy :) worth watching.
Though it doesnt make the mark other romance movie has reached,
It's still okay~ 6.8/10

------------------------------------------------------------------

Aiight~ now for the movies i watched during pre-cny we
ek.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Red Riding Hood (2011)



Now! THIS WAS A MOVIE I WANTED TO WATCH WHEN IT RELEASED
but i couldnt find anyone to watch it with me that time..
So now i finally got to watch it! and i gotta say it didn't disappoint :)
Amanda Seyfried is definitely an actress i'mma gonna look out for now.
Cos she was great in the movie~ the storyline was good~
It still could have been a lot better tho~ but the whole idea and concept was good.
I give this an 7.5/10

------------------------------------------------------------------

Your Highness (2011)



This, is the kind of movie i rate as Hardcore comedy, what with all the foul language.
And well dirty bits and lame jokes. uhmm yeah! Again, this isn't a genre I normally watch.
And this is proof of why~ lol! I guess maybe I'm just a little too use to watching comedies like these with more famous actors like Adam Sandler or Jack Black or Russell Brand.
I mean I watched "Get Him To The Greek" 2 weeks before watching this.
So i gotta say, this movie is no where near that and other movies of its kind.
Its funny but doesn't reach the target at all..
3/10

------------------------------------------------------------------

What's Your Number? (2011)



This is definitely a good movie to watch. Romantic comedy, with a great storyline.
Sweet and Sexy, funny yet good :) Overall I feel that any newly found couples would love this movie and so will all the girls looking for love. its just that good :)
It has a good plot, script could've been better, romance is good, characters are not bad.
and well yeah! its nice :) and definitely worth watching if you like this kind of movie.
8.7/10

------------------------------------------------------------------

Bunraku (2011)



Alright, this i gotta say I had no idea what it was about.
So I watched it with a blurness at the start.
then i figured it out that it was a gangster movie, Similar to the style of "Gangs Of New York" or "Kung Fu Hustle" .This movie sets a new mark on that list of gangster action movies.
with an all new style, a narrative comic-bookish movie. with lots of colors and interesting plot. It is definitely not bad movie to watch.
It might be lame for some.. It might be good for others. People who liked Sin City might like this movie as well..
Although I didnt like SinCity much, I liked this movie :)
I give it 7/10


------------------------------------------------------------------

Music?
For the past few days these are the top 3 songs stuck in my head :)


1. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson



What doesn't kill you makes you Stronger! :D


2. Glad You Came - The Wanted



I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came ;)


3. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People



Nothing like a good ol' Shoot Em' Haters Song :x

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, You Better Run Better Run! Out run my gun~



Again! Happy Chinese New Year!

PEACE OUT!
