Selamat Tahun Baru Hijrah

Hey.... happy noo yir... hijrah year that is, since tahun baru masihi tak masuk lagi. I know, it's kinda late to wish tahun baru since hari nih dah masuk 2 muharram, tapi as a muslim, kita sepatutnya rasa semangat untuk menyambut awal muharram... (ececeh... pandai pulak bercakap hal2 camni). So mcm beserlah... every new year, mesti nak wat resolution. Yang tahun lepas punyer tak pernah tercapai... typical... anyway... untuk tahun baru nih, I have a few wishes:

1. Lose weight.... say down to 70 kg. My ideal BMI would require me to go somewhere around 65 kg but let's be realistic okay... makan mcm lembu, exercise pon jarang, n then stress di tempat keja... dapat turun ke 70 kg kira cukup bagusla tu... I've recalibrated the weighing scale yesterday, and it wouldn't budge... according to the scale, I still weigh 80 kg. Oh damn you stupid scale! heheh.... For this one, I kena sacrifice sket... Have to cut down my starbucks vanilla latte, KFC, McD and mcm2 lagi... wish me luck. Selalunya, dalam 2-3 minggu dah kecundang....

2. Nak baca lebih banyak bahan2 ilmiah... (and sadly, Mangga and Hai don't qualify). I've got at least 5 books yg dah beli sepanjang 3 bulan lepas and masih dalam queue lagi. Skang tgh baca John Grisham 'The Appeal'... pasnih nak start citer Melayu pulak (or citer Indon to be exact... Ayat2 Chenta). So.... buku kena standby tepi katil. malam2 seblom tido layan a few pages... yg nih boleh tercapai kot.

3. Learn new things... like Spanish, or baking, repairing cars (ok.... I gotta draw a line on this one... seriously? repairing cars?) I think I'll start with Spanish... sbb buku Learning Spanish yg i beli tuh dah setahun tak berusik. Pasnih... layan telenovela tak payah pakai subtitles lah... stylish nyer. tengos muchas esperanzas! 

4. lebih banyak tersenyum... ada org ckp muka i serious sangat. ye ke? yer kot... so kena la banyak senyum ngan org. 

Aaa.... itu baru 4 jer... ada banyak lagi nih. Nak dengar tak? tak payah la kot... kita nak concentrate yg 4 nih dulu... rasa2 mcm boleh kot...

I'm an uncle now!

Hey hey... sekarang i officiallynya sudah menjadi uncle after my sister gave birth to a baby boy yesterday (15th Dec).  Ingatkan minggu depan baru nak deliver sekali semalam dapat sms, baby sudah keluar kat spital ampang. Originally she intended to give birth in spital kajang, tapi spital kajang tak bagi husband masuk untuk tgk isteri deliver, so switched to ampang. last2 kena operate pulak sbb dilation tak cukup besar. so dptlah baby boy seberat 3.3 kg tu. haha... i am so happy and proud sbb ada nephew. ooo... mcm nih rupanya rasa jadik uncle yer... baru i tau. since most of my frenz (except mosz) dah ada experience jadik uncle, i rasa cam agak ketinggalan sket... apapun... welcome to the uncle club.

Since this baby is the first born grandchild dalam family, mesti dia dapat attention lebih and layanan yg spesel from the rest of us. mcm i jugak last time... sbb i cucu sulung, dulu masa kecik2, my uncles and aunts selalu bawak jalan2 and belikan macam2. bertuah la baby nih... ckp jer nak apa... pakcik faizal bleh belikan... nak baju designer label, kasut crocs, kreta lumba, playstation, ipod... u name it, pakcik belikan. (nih sumer terikut zach la nih... manjakan sgt niece dia).

okay nephew... semoga menjadi anak yg soleh, berjaya dan bergaya (mcm unclenya jugak lah...)

comel seperti pakciknya.... (chantek la awak punyer sarung kepala tuh!)

Movie Review: Wild Child (Pulangkan wangku kembali!!)

From the tajuk of my post this time, agak2 u guys boleh bajet kot what will my review be like. I should've followed my instinct. Should've probably watched Los & Faun instead. But the timing was not so good, so I was stuck with this crap (which I didn't know at that time). Pelakon yang pegang watak Poppy aka the Wild Child in this film is not wild at all. Seriously... with the title WILD tuh I would expect some boobs from this movie. Okay... perhaps that was a bit too much, tapi kalau dah namanya WILD tuh, ingatkan criter nih memaparkan kisah remaja rosak akhlak yg sering berparti dan bersosial tanpa hala tujuan. Huhu... nope, kecundang saja harapan i untuk melihat itu semua. Perhaps it's the casting... Emma Roberts (anak sedara Julia Roberts) nampak cam agak inesen untuk memegang watak Poppy. I was expecting Lindsay Lohan or paling kurang pon letak la Blake Lively aka Serena Gossip Girl. Sorry Emma.... you kinda sux as a wild child! Ugh... frankly, kalau u nak tgk citer pasal budak pompuan kat boarding school, Adik Manja lagi besz... even tho the acting was a bit like kayu, at least citer tuh citer Melayu yang senang kita nak faham lawak jenakanya... lagipon, ada budak pompuan nyanyi2 sambil naik beskal... "La la la la la la la hey hey... lupa sebentar yang menggangumu... la la la la la la hey hey.... ingat pesan dariku..." pastuh kena langgar ngan che'gu azmi. Okay... we're talking about Wild Child here... focus...

Jalan criter Wild Child agak straight forward... Poppy, an angry teen, tension ngan her dad coz she felt like she's been ignored coz he got a new girlfriend. So, dia pegi buang baju2 GF bapak dia and as a punishment, dia dihantar gi boarding school pompuan kat England. Sampai kat sekolah baru, dia buat style bitchy, and made enemy with the head girl Harriett. Member2 sedorm dia pon tension... (mana tak tensen ngan perangai belagak tuh... kalau masuk SDAR dah lama kena belasah). So budak2 kat sana suka la menyakat dia... tapi at one point derang start kesian ngan Poppy so they decided to help Poppy in her mission to get expelled from the school. As part of the plan, she has to flirt dengan anak lelaki pengetua. Ingatkan nak flirt2 biasa jer.... sekali suka betul2 pulak... alah... dah boleh agak kan jalan citer dia? So seterusnya apa yg terjadi? hehehe.... kena la tgk sendiri. hey, i suffered for 1 1/2 hour dalam wayang tuh.... mana bleh senang2 jer bagitau the ending... kena la tgk sendiri... or better still, download jer kat internet... citer sampah nih patutnya tak payah tayang kat cinema pon...

so ratingnya? jalan criter 2.5 bintang, acting 2 bintang, lagu2 soundtrack.... bolehla 3 bintang, cinematography.. ntahla... i main ckp jer... tak sure pon menatang apa tuh. kalau ikut standard rating zach... citer nih layak untuk 2.3 bintang... kalau dalam gred SPM setakat C6 jer... hish.... kesal yang tak berkesudahan la. kepada GSC one utama.... pulangin uang ku donkk!

Mari membuat passport

For those yang dah baca blog makcik chantek aka zach, i mmg ada plan untuk buat passport the other day. What? How come I still tader passport? Bukan ke I bleh speaking accent mat salleh? "Bukan u study oversea ke dulu?", ada org pernah tanya I. hahaha.... jangan mudah tertipu... inilah akibatnya kalau terlalu banyak menonton rancangan2 barat yg tak berfedah tu dalam TV. Sooner or later u will pick up the accent. Anyway, i managed to execute my plan untuk buat passport last wednesday. Since zach ckp kalau buat kat imigresen wangsa maju cepat siap, i pon google la dulu direction untuk ke sana. Very berkobar2. Yerlah... ini sumer untuk menyahut rancangan RK Gold Coast mosz which is supposed to happen somewhere next year (I'm still counting on it mosz). 

On that day, i bertolak awal la jugak dr rumah... lam kul seploh. pagi tuh baham dulu nasi goreng dua pinggan untuk stamina. N then baru betolak. The journey took approximately one hour.... tuh pon sebab sesat seploh minit coz i missed the last junction. yer2 jer pakai google map. sampai2 tuh kena fotostat IC ngan surat beranak dulu. n then you have to buy the borang (RM1). Pas isi baru bleh amik number giliran. Masa amik number tuh, the officer kat kaunter tuh perasan i punyer IC macam ada corrosion sket. So dia tanya cip tuh boleh pakai lagi ke tak? Ish... i baru jer guna untuk print i nyer epf statement the day before. So i guess the chip still works la. The officer seemed satisfied with it so she gave me a number. 1286. the current number at that time was 1227. okay... i knew this was going to happen. so i dah bawak ipod ngan buku awal2... bijak tak?

i was quite lucky sebab tetiba ada vacant seat nearby. Lepas confirmkan takder warga emas or wanita mengandung yg nak amik seat tuh, i quickly grabbed it. dalam masa menunggu tuh, sempat baca a few pages of my book n main 2 rounds of sally saloon in my ipod (ish.... besz la game nih... sapa2 ada ipod touch, this is a must-have!). after about 40 minutes my number was called. "1286 kaunter 5". hehehe.... 

after i hand over my borang and documents, akak kat counter tuh cocok i nyer mykad ke dalam mesen dia. after a few moments the card reader failed. oh dear... this couldn't be good. so she asked me whether the chip was still okay. I told her it was working fine yesterday at EPF kiosk in klcc. so she tried again... dia amik pemadam pen yg keras tuh n she scraped off the corroded layer of my Mykad. oo... mcm tuh caranya nak buang karat kat chip yer.... tapi pas dia cocok balik lam card reader dia still failed jugak... deymnnn! "encik... encik kena tukar kad nih dulu. dekat sebelah ada pejabat pendaftaran negara, mintak dia buatkan yg sementara punya yang ada cap jari tuh, lepas tuh encik datang balik. nombor nih jangan hilangkan yer." aduss.... seb baik kat sebelah ada office pendaftaran negara. so i pegi sebelah...

kat sebelah, kena amik number giliran baru pulak. bila i terangkan i nyer problem kat officer tuh, dengan muka tak manis dia menjawab, "kad nih kena tukar ni... kalau nak tukar kat sini, hari ni tak boleh siap, tapi kalau nak cepat kena pegi maju junction, kat sana satu jam boleh siap." kalau saya nak yang sementara punyer? i tanya lagi.... "yang tu kena amik number, tapi number giliran pagi nih dah abis, kena tunggu pukul dua karang baru boleh amik nombor balik".... ngan jawapan dia tuh, i rasa cam nak cocok jer bijik mata dia. jibraun betu! dah agak pun... beserla... pejabat kerajaan. pelik jugak sebab masa i masuk tuh bukannya ramai sangat orang pon. lagipon baru kul 11.30... cemaner pulak nombor dah abis? i malas nak tanya lagi since dari gaya dia menjawab soalan i sebelum nih pon mcm nak tak nak jer... hish... nyesal tak note down nama dia... kalau tak boleh masuk lam ruangan komplen kat harian metro. 

i nak gi maju junction pon rasa tak semangat dah. bukan apa... i nyer touch n go credit value ada dalam seratus lebih lagi in my current mykad. takkan nak hilang camtu jer. so i sms zach... n we decided to berpeleseran in KLCC. hahaha.... end up hari tuh jadi remaja liar jugak.... mosz... walaupon my first attempt untuk buat passport failed, please proceed with our gold coast plan okay!
