Dancing on angel's wings!

Allo little cranky jelly beans (random :P) !!!

I am posting again on the same day...hehehe. It's boring staying at home sick, so blogging is a good option. And I have had more than enough sleep to rest my eyes now (for the moment).

Let's talk about the movie I recently watched with Yiang at 1 Utama. :D

It is called Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporioum!!! (Warning, this entry contains spoilers)


Okay, if you have watched it or yet to, you would probaly find it to be an okay or average movie. And yes to a certain degree I admit that it is. But I am somehow highly attracted to it (after watching it) because of personal reasons.

Synopsis:
Molly Mahoney (Portman) is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. But when Mr. Magorium, the 243 year-old eccentric who owns the store (Hoffman), bequeaths the store to her, a dark and ominous change begins to take over the once remarkable Emporium. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457419/)

Reason why I like and enjoy it SO MUCH....
- It was magical, filled with fantasy and colourful surroundings.
I totally love toy shops and real unique ones too. And this one has its beauty in so many charming ways. It was one of a kind features and totally speaks to me. While watching the movie, I couldnt help wishing I was Molly Mahoney. I didnt mind being a "normal" store manager of a small and pretty magical toy shop, I think it would be totally enchanting and special. You should see the beginning of the movie whereby the "started" the emporium up, it was amazing. Must be great working there. I don't mind working part-time in such a shop or even fulltime! (Not really in the movie but for real if such unique shop is found - I dont mean the magic but in real life)

- It was unique and charming to my soul (makes sense?) :P
Have you ever watched "You've Got mail?" Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? It is one of my favourite movies. It is just again a simple movie, but it speaks to the heart and bears much of life's answer there. I love that the the female protagonist (Meg Ryan) owned a small and unique little book shop around the corner. That's the point, a nice small book shop, did I mention it was a children's book shop? Even better! If you noticed, both of the movies, evolves around children - catering to their needs and desires. It must be really lovely. To have the smiles and laughter of innocent and happy kids in your store. Not to mention all the brightness of colours and joy surrounding you in your everyday work. But I am not talking bout something superficial or biasa like Toys R Us or MPH, but your own theme designed shop with your own signature features. Like a boutique, one of a kind. Okay, am I blabbering too much? LOL.


Here is a view of what the shop or emprium looks like. Wonderful right? And I wanna be her, Molly Mahoney (right) wearing a cute apron and running such a delighting shop. :D

For me, the movie was SWEET!It is magical, fantastic, mysterious and totally enchanting. I like it, I like fantasy movies. :D It's just me! :D
Like taking a journey beyond life.... breaking free of the norm and just being yourself.

I find "peace" and a big grin on my face when I watch such movies, kinda just lifts me up. Other fantasy movies too... such as:
*Lord of the Rings
*Chronicles of Narnia
*Stardust
*PeterPan
*Bridge to Therabithia (correct?)
and many more... (cant think much now)

Of course I know magic is not real and none of it will come true, but no harm in dreaming a little? Hehehe... I guess I am just a sucker for fairy tales. :)

So yeah, I like the movie. It may not be your type, but it is definitely my type (like StarDust!).

This is Eric, he is cute :P "Cool" right the toys? :P

Maybe, just maybe someday I get to own my cute little shop around the corner, be it selling toys or children books or even cute colourful handy crafts (since I love them). Or maybe a children art centre! I'll have it painted in rainbow colours with plushies everywhere along with cute ornaments adorning every corner! Something personal and just speaks out: this is me! With a unique theme of my own where smiles blossom and memories are enchanted. (Hey, this could be my shop's tagline!Copyright k!!!)

Here are some interesting quites from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium:

Mr. Edward Magorium: Your life is an occasion, rise to it. (I like this one!)

Molly Mahoney: Are you dying?
Mr. Edward Magorium: Light bulbs die, my dear. I am departing.

Henry Weston: When you say magical, do you mean special?
Molly Mahoney: Magical.
Henry Weston: What about... really really cool?
Molly Mahoney: MAGICAL!


This is the "mutant"... lol. You gotts watch the movie to know why.... aint all the toys just so "pretty" and lovely? I want my "future" store to be like that! :P

There are many more quotes, but IMBD is not fully updated yet (since the movie is new). If you are ever going to watch it, I hope you'll like it. One thing for sure, it spoke to my heart and made me realise something else "magical" I want in my life.

If you are going to watch the movie, I hope you'll have a "magical" and sweet experience (that is if you have a dreamy head like me :P lol). Till next time, I bid you au revoir and God bless!

Huggies and smoochies, tata! :D

As long as the wings keep flapping

Hola!

In case you are wondering, I am okay! LOL. Am no where near being blind and my mum was just being her usual self in making it a big deal.

We went back to the clinic again and this morning and it was the veteran doctor there instead of that young looking Chinese guy. He said he would looked into the matter (wrong medication) and got pretty upset over it too. Gave a rebate and an extra check up on me eyes.

He said I had a bad condition of conjunctivits and gave extra medication for free la. LOL.

My mum kept asking him bout my eyes on being harmed, blinded, etc (a mother's anxiety) non stop that it got embarrassing. But the doctor was real cool about it. He said he understood and it was common for parents to get all panicky - he even said my mum was under re-acting (lol) so I guess it was okay.

But I am blessed to have such a caring and loving mum (even though sometimes she gets on my nerves, but hey all mums are like that). In the end, me eyes are sorta okay now. Hope it will be fine by Sunday.

So here I am sitting here on a warm and boring Friday trying to blog and read online manga despite my-not-so-red watery eyes trying its best to open and see along with my oh-so-thick glasses.

But it is ok.... :D

Aiya... I thought of blogging on more things, but the mood of it has passed. lol.
Hence, I shall do so another time soon.

Lotsa love to you!

Chasing rainbows in the meadows

I almost went blind today...!!!

The eye drop (I am infected with conjunctivitis) from the doctor turned up to be ear drop instead....!!!

They gave me the wrong medication!

Needless to say there were screams, pain, burns and terror and my mum is in the verge of serving a lawsuit for real (if I get blind) and tried calling the stupid clinic numerous times (no answer). :P It was panic in the house and my mum thought I could go blind and got real upset (bro too - dad in Singapore). It was too late to go back to the clinic as it was already closed (10pm) and I had to washed my eyes repeatedly and iced my eyes with cold hankerchief. The particular moment was really: "WALAU WEH!!" :p

Not trying to exagerrate here but I am speaking of the moment then. LOL. It was a terrible moment in the house and my screaming and pain was a mere factor that lead everyone into believing the worst then. And fyi, no I am not blind YET!

Before that, the doc looked really young (like my bro's age) and didnt seemed like he knew a lot. He kept "cutting off" my lines and presuming! I told him no itchiness or pain but he prescribed me itchy pills non the less. I kept telling him my unusual symptomps (I used to get conjunctivitis so I know what is to be expected, however my condition then was a little different) but he kept insisting on something else and kept cutting off my words and put something else in it instead!

And the "nurse" at the clinic was on the hand phone all the time! She was on it even when she was packing my medicine (hence I think there was the fault in perparing eardrops intead of eyedrops!)

Argh... lol. Funny yet scary right? I havent shouted in the house so loud for a long time (called out HELP too), it was really bad. Worse than having shampoo in your eyes.

So my mata now lebih teruk than before and who said seeing the doc will do good?! :P Hehehe....

I shouldnt be doing anything now let alone blog but I am too bored and restless that I cant sleep or rest and here I am wearing my oh so thick glasses with watery red eyes typing away. If my mum catches me like this, she will throw a fit! But hey, I guess if I can blog meaning I am not blind yet? :P

For real, with my long black hair:

I look like a pontianak now! :P

But my mata also mengecut and bengkak at the same time. They are small and puffy... really weird looking. Did I mention they were blood red?! :P

My violin teacher even thought I cried too much because of boyfriend matters, lol. (Yes, I still attended violin class, but before I saw the doc).

Hence, I have to cancel all my weekend plans now. :(

So sorry to Jason (Fri), Daph (Sat-AM), Mei Yee, Zoe and Alisa (Sat- PM).

And I will have to miss the Smart Reader Kids Concert too.

(But I am glad I got to hang out with Yiang today before the chaos :P)
I hope my eyes will be ok soon, but it is kinda "cool" to look like a vampire ghost (naturally) for real once in a while. :P Minus the wrong medication and pain.

Okay la, I have to go and try to tidur d, even the lights are slighly hurting my vision now. Have to return to the clinic tomorrow for new medicine and explanation d...

To all of you out there, please do take care and if you want to see a real potinanak (lol), feel free to call me for an appointment (limited time till recovery). :P

Masa inilah aku memerlukan kasih sayangmu...

Come rain, come shine: The softness of dirt in spring

People have been asking me to.... UPDATE moi BLOG!

So hence I am now doing so....

Mmmm.... Indeed it has been quite sometime since there has been a post to refresh this almost dead and boring blog.

I am no where in a creative mood but there have been many happenings in my life lately especially after the end of my semester.

BEWARE: This is going to be a long and draggy post. Boring alert may be in motion! Read at your own interest. :P

Where should I start?

1. I am officially on holidays! Yeah Baby!

Yes... my calender is open, feel free to book me out. :P LOL

Since banyak orang have asked me sampai bila, let me just say it out loud: 3 months till February! Australian summer holiday (Murdoch University, Perth). And I am not planning to work (lazy bump), so there will be lots of time to rot and decay at home. Hence, tolong la saya and say "hello" once in a while :P (to check if I am still alive).

Other than that, I plan to do many things (which I DO hope I can acomplish):

- Read my newly bought Jane Austen the complete novels (extra thick) book ( from Kinokuniya).

- Go for wall climbing!!! And I don't care who I drag with..! Along with archery, ice skating etc

- Zoo or bird park, Taman Negara, adventurous stuff, kayaking, jungle trekking, nature stuff...etc. I need NATURE!

- Exercise! I need to buck and tone up. Hopefully lose some weight and be more agile. At least be able to kick a small arse! Need to lose all these taufu and fragileness!

- Pick up something positive like going for belly dancing classes :P

- Hang out with friends more - old and untouched friends. Catching up is vital, miss em lots!

- Go for vacations where ever it is or who ever :P Hahaha.... oi, Meng and Yiang (Rach too) and whoever more, Genting next week ya?!

- Watch movies at least once a week in the cinema!

- Be a good or better girl and try to "wake up".

- Be happy, I want to be happy and have a merry Christmas! I just want everything to be alright even when it may not be great. A little miracle is all I ask...

- And many more which I can't think right now.

2. Right after my college days, it was my dear cousin sis, Michelle chea chea's wedding!

I was the brides maid...hehehe.. was nice. I don't have any pics to put up now currently because:

- My dad didnt take many pictures - there were bout 10 others with cameras and a profesional one too.

- Camera cable is out..

- Will take some time before I get the pics from my chea2.

The wedding was great. It first started out when I stayed over at my chea2's house the night before (I got to spend with her her last night as a single lady). My chea2 couldnt sleep all night but I guess it was normal for a bride to be. We woke up at 7am and the make up artist and groomer arrived at 730am. Needless to say, she looked great!

Later on... the normal and usual routine of a typical Chinese wedding la... guys side coming over to jemput the bride, going through the "obstacle course" to get the bride... etc. My my.. my chea's jimuis were ruthless to the max. Before the arrive, I witnessed them stuffing cili padi into a cake! Hiding the room key in the fridge but it does not belong to the actual bride's room and later on forcing the groom (Matthew koko) down with 2 big bottles of coke.

Muahaha, it was funny la and later he had to play the guitar to charm my chea...not to mention the pumping! LOL, love.... what a guy would do. Sweet right?

So anyway, he managed to get in and it was all sweet till...

Matthew koko was NERVOUS I think...lol.

He was blur on what to do. I don't know if he was nervous or plain blur but he seemed clueless. LOL, which was cute la.

My chea knew he was blur-ish hence before the wedding she has already kept the rings (usually it is the groom who keeps it) and I took it out and passed it to him. Want to know whats really cute and funny? I was standing behind my chea (who was sitting) and Matthew koko was kneeling in front of her. He then took out the ring (from the box) and tried to put it in her finger. But he hesitated and looked at me in puzzlement not sure which hand to put it on... I had to point out from behind and mutter "left left".... lol. The three of us giggled together. It was cute wei!

Then, usualy la, tea ceremony at the girl's side with all the relative. I was the "banker" of the day, lol. Basically if you robbed me then, you'll be very happy. Reason being so was because not only was I the maid of honour but also the one responsible in handling and keeping all the angpaus, (during tea ceremony, you usually receive jewelry or big ang paus). So I had a bag of money beside me all the time and standing behind the happy couple tagging a long receiving all their money (:P) once they serve the tea.

Oh, did I mention my chea's helm was really long?! FYI, a helm is the end of the skirt which goes more than the actualy length at the end. So it was also my job to "take care of it". Carry, it, adjust it, put it nicely, keep it clean etc. Later on, we proceeded to the groom's house. I sat in the wedding car...muahaha! Yeah la, shiok la tu! :P

Same thing happends la in the grooms house, tea ceremony again and me being the banker receiving all the angpaus from behind :D

After every, then balik la! LOL, later on, it was the wedding dinner at a Chinese restaurant in MidValley called something Spring?

In which I had to perform with my violin! Yup, was stressing through out the week for it too. I was pretty nervous cause it was solo and I wasnt confident in my skills then. But it went quite well I must admit and received many compliments (chech was, prasan gila :P) as well as a big ang pau from Matthew koko. I played Moon River and My Heart that Believest from Bach. Again, no pics till further notice (sad).

Oh... did I mention that the whole day I was in 4 inch high heels??!!! I was killing me to the max man! Not to mention same goes to my chea, she had it worse since she had to stand a lot. But anyway, I am glad everything went fine and nice.

Lotsa congrats and love to the newly wed and God bless! Michelle chea2 and Matthew koko, all the best in happiness and love! :D

3. The following day, I followed my dad to Genting Highlands !(dad went for work)!!

Yes, I know Im suppose to go there soon with my buds but hey, hols ma and free so go lo. Hehehe...went to the theme park with daddy, it was great! Dad had a speaking engagement in the evening so we played all day long at the park. Unfortunately, it rained a lot (stopped occasionally) so we only managed to "sit" on 4 rides. But they were awesome and the best!

i) Cork Screw - the biggest roller coaster in the theme park

ii) Pirate Train (haunted) - nothing big but was available that time.

iii) Go-Kart!!! Yeah!

iv) Space shot (previously known as Solero Shot) - the one which shots up and goes down - kinda scared for a moment, it was thrilling and abrupt!

Okay la, at least I got to go on the big ones! Then it was back to the Theme Park Hotel (we had a killer view of the theme park) and I had McD for dinner while my dad had it with other peeps (work).

4. Me eyes are blood shot!!!

A couple of days a go, I noticed my eyes were red for no reason. Hence I just let it be la. Then starting from the wedding day itself, it became watery all the time (people thought I was crying cause my chea was getting married, lol) and I could not be in the presence of light. Yes, my eyes got sentitive whenever I saw any form of light, like seriously! I could barely open my eyes in the wedding car, I cant look at the sky in Genting while everyone did even in the cloudy skies, I cant even open them for 2 seconds when viewing my handphone in the dark and even the TV made my eyes shed tears like a pipe! I though maybe I was turning into a VAMPIRE! LOL!

But today it was slightly better, I do not cry anymore so often in a light-y room but the blood shot look is still there. I bet if you see me now, you'll be shocked. I look like some character in a horrow movie, seriously. LOL. Hope it will go off soon if not I have to see the doc d.

**********************************************

Okay, the weekly journal of my life's happenings are stated and over. But emotionally in diary wise, I am unsure if I should blurt out some things. Of course this is my blog and I am free to do as I please, but I guess no matter how open you can be, there will still be times where you care about what other people think. Especially people you care about and what they would think. And it is a sad case when it also comes to worrying of what people who dont care about you think. I guess I am man concious. Maybe thats why some of my entries are drafted, I just dont have the guts to post it up and risk being judge by people - precious people.

"People who matter dont mind what you say or think and people who mind dont matter"

But thats not the case for me, for the people who mind are really those people who matter to me and that is sometimes really just sad and I cant do anything about it.

*SIGHS*

I just need to "get out" and fly away to a place where all lies, anger, hyprocrisy,confusion and mask cease to exist and where people dont know me nor do they need to judge me and just see me for me and be happy.

As I grow up, I start to notice that there is more to everything, something more in a negative way and maybe thats why I dont want to grow up. To face this polluted world. No wonder children are often found to be happy easier.

Current and random words I think of these days: pathetic, idiot, spastic, porcupine, i love you...

"Sometimes I feel foolish being dreamlike happy" - quote of the moment from P.
