G-Force aced it!

Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of US hit series, the CSI collection joins the big screen with...... a bunch of rodents? As spies? Whoah! whoah! Don't get taken away by this, read on about how a group of guinea pigs and a naked mole rat safe the world from destruction. Here are a few reasons to catch G-Force during this Hari Raya long weekend. WARNING! Spoiler ahead!

#1 Tired of action porn movies? G-Force is Disney's latest animation combined with high-tech spy gadgets(in micro size to fit the rodents) to make you tech junkies out there wet your pants. The highlights: an ear piece that transmit rodents' squeaky sound waves into our human language and get them to talk back to us, 3-in-1 hamster treadmill X ultra cool vehicle equipped with lightning speed, a fly/bug that is literally a bug with surveillance camera and sound recorder connected back to its base camp. Not forgetting THE gadget of the movie, thumb-sized PDA used to download and steal Saber's world domination plan which is then used to infect virus back into the super computer towards the end of the movie

#2 Be prepared for tonnes of pop culture instilled in the movie. Juarez, the only female in the team with a French accent rant about her complicated love interest typing away on her Facebook 'wall'. Lady Gaga's Just Dance and Black Eyed Peas party tracks throughout the movie. And see Bucky, the territorial hamster portraying Canadian stereotypes.

#3 Watch it in 3D! Been saving up RM16-18(prices vary between cinemas), for that one movie worth watching in 3D, forget about Final Destination 4, G-Force is a 2-in-1 movie with animation fused with real human acting. Get double of what you paid for! Personally, I thought Ice Age 3 in 3D was the bomb until I saw G-Force. The fur and features on the rodents are so real, also hooks, bullets, missiles and all sort of objects pointing directly at you makes you want to go 'No! Nooooo! Aaahhh!'

#4 Who says size does matter? The G-Force shows you wittiness and agility beats the rest. Yes, the two-face,star-nose naked mole rat is the mastermind behind all the chaos aka Mr Yanshu; but look G-Force saved the world in just a nick of time by stopping the Earth being a magnetic field attracting space garbage destroying the human kind. Guinea pigs and hamsters make adorable pets or sometimes as 'test objects'(SAY NO TO ANIMAL CRUELTY). It is proven that guinea pigs are fairly brighter than any other rodent, which explains why Jerry Bruckheimer chose this project to launch his silver screen career. Move aside hamsters, guinea pigs will top the list of kids' most favourite pets after this movie.

#5 It's a Disney movie after all, of course there is a moral to the story to be thought to kids(and everyone else). They were told that they are scientifically altered rodents but the fact is Ben, the scientist that formed G-Force, picked them up from a French restaurant (Juarez, alike rodents is a delicacy), an extermination ground (Speckles), and a petshop(Darwin). Ben, provided them a home and gave them a family. Hurley, the other non-trained, typical pet shop guinea pig G-Force member was so thankful to have found Darwin and claimed they are related because of a lookalike birth mark on their butt cheeks.

Ondeh-ondeh love

These green balls coated in coconut with brown sugar as it's inti(center in blue tray) made me giggle like a little school girl when i popped one into my mouth. Coz the moment you take a bite, the brown sugar bursts all over walls of your mouth. I couldn't stop throwing in balls after balls just to feel the excitement when it bursts. You'll probably think why am i talking about kuih right now? Coz it's pasar Ramadhan season with fasting month back for the Islams. So we each had to check out 2 bazaars.

1Malaysia or not? 15Malaysia short films

Yea yea it's Merdeka month so you're ought to be patriotic. All this buzz about 1Malaysia, but don't know if you've heard about 15Malaysia. It's 15 short films made by 15 film makers including the late Yasmin Ahmad, Ho Yuhang of Rain Dogs fame, Liew Seng Tat, Nam Ron, Suleiman Brothers and many more. 15Malaysia is a project made successful by singer songwriter Pete Teo and the team behind Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU)-'Here in My Home'. Similar to the anti-racism song and music video Here In My Home, 15Malaysia highlights socio-political issues in Malaysia from corruption to Islamic banking to freedom of expression to the Mat Rempit phenomenon and even halal cooking. These 15 short films are released accordingly one each day on their website www.15malaysia.com and it's available for download by the public for free.

So far only 2 of the short films have been released, Potong Saga by Ho Yuhang featuring the infamous Namewee and Chocolate by Yasmin Ahmad featuring of course her favourite cheeky actress Sharifah Amani. Oh you can also add your own Malaysian related videos on the site. Log on to the website to check it out now!

I still have sore soles and sole-sores

I love how my title can be turned into a tongue twister haha.

Yea the last post I've only got picture from 2 acts up. So I gotta cover AAR, Hoobastank and etc. I'd post up videos but the are all of very very bad quality taken with my camera phone from miles away boohoo =(

Glitter-soaked Tyson screaming an orgasmic oh yeeeaaaahhh through out the set. And also their 'I wanna.... I wanna I wanna touch you' latest single. Can you say queer?

On the way to World Stage I was already thinking if they will play Swing, Swing and Dirty Little Secret coz these both are really old. I was practically jumping for joy when the chords were played and then Tyson started doing his awesone stage antics.

Hoobah! Hoobah! Loved their enigmatic set!

You guys want something to sing along to? Ok now........

(Ghostbuster tune and starts singing)

"If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?"

audience: GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

(music stops)

You guys are ridiculous hahahaha

Oh oh and here's my exclusive collection of Raygun during my interview with them mmm bliss. They will be as famous as Coldplay somewhere in the future and I have this to brag about. I started listening to them when they were newcomers, did an interview with them, snippety snap candids and etc.

Say Em Tee Wheeeeee!!! World Stage! woot woot~

Hahahahahaaa!!! KLue sent me there. Just like Sarah, my events editor said 'usually I'll just sit and wait somehow there sure will be some extra tickets on the very last day.' So yea Joyce and I had the chance to go. She was nice enough to give me her share of the ticket so I'll have one pair, just enough to bring the airplane boy together with me =)
We took our own time to get there even it says on the ticket registration (what registration?you mean queuing up at the entrance?) starts at 3.30pm. Got to the entrance near Starbucks at 5.45pm, there were no line nothing at all for the RED zone so we decided to go chomp down some Carl's Jr.

Finally got into the 'pool' at about 6.15-6.30pm after a super long walk all the way in. I was so freaking worried they might confiscate my huge ass dslr coz it says on the back of the ticket no camera and video recorders or any other recording devices allowed. The security was shitty I'd have to say seeing it's an MTV event. Anyone in the theme park could have gotten access to the wave pool/ stage area. Estranged was the first act which we didn't bother much, such posers I hate the vocalist trying to be all cool with his hoodie covered 3/4 of his face. Raygun was the second act(or was it third? after Boys likes Girls?) but before that Utt and Denise/Taya (MTV Vjs) came out and talk a whole lot of crap before introducing them on stage. I'm so thankful I had the chance to interview this new British band that caused some controversy a week or so back regarding on their influence on music. I'll upload a picture of me and the band and might just spill some beans here in the next post. Though they are so new but geeezzz they really have stage presence and knew how to interact with the crowd. So what not everyone was singing along to their songs, at least people were grooving to their(yea I used the word groove, coz their genre is all about 70s-80s a cross between David Bowie, James Brown that era or rock and roll) psychedelic tunes! Omg! Ray, the vocalist is so cute and his mesmerizing pair of blue-ish eyes.

Next up was Pixie Lott, the seductive British songstress. She was so blonde I think her hair color, dress and skin tone match! Well, every heterosexual male and some female were screaming for her when she came out. And of course everyone was singing to her first single, 'Mama Do' not too sure about the rest coz she is very new after all. I still say she's a Duffy impersonator/wannabe hmm.....
(saving and posting it now before my stolen-connection dies off. will update more on Hoobastank and All American Rejects in the next post stay tuned.)

Whhhheeeee!!! Me want MTV World Stage passes!!!! Please send me to cover the event and I promise to be a good girl at work not like I have been lazing around in the office okayyy. It's only week one and I've been very progressive and efficient getting all my work done way before deadline. Will update about KLue in next entry not here. So bring me to MTV WS!!!!!! Pretty pleeeeeaaassseeeee coz this is like event of the year man! Why Malaysia not Singapore right? Coz Malaysia is cool like that hah! I hope they don't start banning whichever female artists who dress skimply. And also no shirt-off males *hinthint Pharell of N*E*R*D. Oh well, it's Malaysia after all and we are celebrating Merdeka(Independence Day) this month! Wooohoooo!!!

........Tanggal tiga puluh satu..... Merdeka merdeka merdeka

However the lyrics go laaaaaa......

So yeaaaaa MTV World Stage pases please =) I didn't win on fb when KLue had their contest(before I joined the team) right now it's my opportunity to be there or be square! Here are a few expecting acts that I'm going to googooogaga about:

Pixie Lott, Duffy lookalike but is way better than her and I think she's only freaking 18 like doubleyouteeeff right?!!! Can you say H-A-W-T British Blonde?

Raygun, British band to look out for besides Kasabian. Newbie but a definite burning track. There is a short clip here though but I think we can watch the video on TV or maybe it isn't available yet coz I can't seem to find any videos of it on youtube.

And lastly, of course AAR the star of the show!!! I bet 90% of the people are there just to watch them and not any other acts. Hmmm I Wanna was out way back in end of 2008 but I don't know why it only came to our radiowave recently. Weird coz usually American bands have their song played first in other countries not their own. Less competition from other American bands of similar style.

Local acts like Estranged will be playing too and many others to be announced. Bring me there!!!! 15th August at Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach, apparently they are gonna empty the man-made wave pool to turn it into a stage. *****Fingers crossed*****

Urrgghhh!!! Me wants the money laaaaaa

Okay I shouldn't think about it this way. So what if I'm not getting paid as much as the rest? At least I get to go where I want to and I bet lotsa goodies will come my way. Find find I'm trading the cash for better experience and maybe a job opportunity too if I like doing publishing at the end of the day. And I have a better place to stay with cheaper rent and not with strangers. Also Jaya One is a hangout spot so yay! I've got variety to choose from for lunch and it's near UTAR can lunch with See Mei and Kc when they start their semester. The rest of them are renting rooms instead of the entire place to themselves with no transportation and works in an office building even if it's near Midvalley so what la.

So Angelene, look at as a perk not a pay cut =(
(pat self on the shoulder boohoooo!)

YASMIN AHMAD 1958-2009

It was a shocker to hear the words of this Flyfm dj announcing Campur Chart coming up next and with him adding on, ".......this is a show dedicated to Malaysian artists and all creative Malaysians especially the late Yasmin Ahmad for her local indie movies like Sepet, Mukhsin and the latest Talentime." Our expression froze and we turned staring at each other with our mouth wide opened. It was only last Thursday that we heard she had a stroke and had to go for surgery. Over the weekend without much news said about this controversial yet touched every Malaysian soul film producer for our seasonal Petronas advertisements (this year end we will have none to look forward to) then suddenly she has passed on?!!!

All her Petronas ads are such perks during commercial breaks coz you'd have to wait till the very end to get the jist of the story. And every single one of it has the element of surprise at the very end. One of my favourite is this one during cny, it's these 2 teenage boys sitting far apart from each other both minding their own business sms-ing and the other on his psp. They both had spikey hair and had baggy clothes. Acting like strangers not talking to each other but in fact they are cousins.

There is also this Merdeka ad where a dad had to wake his son at dusk to shower him in the slump, get him dressed(combed his hair karipap style, added the putu) then cycled him all the way to town just to witnessed Tunku Abdul Rahman. While the little boy was half asleep the whole entire way especially sleeping on his dad's back on the bicycle. And the last clip, his dad carried him up on his shoulder so he can have a clearer view of the event because he was tip-toeing among the adults.

I might have gotten some of the ads wrong coz it was so many years back but look it was obviously a very efficient and creative ad coz it tapered into my mind and I can still remember it till today. Hmm I tried looking for it on youtube but can't find the same ad I'm talking about. Anyway here are few others which are equally as touching.

This reminded me of poh-poh. I miss her dearly.

Oh here is the first ad I mentioned. Now that I've re-watch it's entirely different from what I remembered. Haha the last part was cute after he got his peepee skin cut.

Ohyeeaaahhh ohhhyeeeaahh!!! Words from an almost-graduate

Double dose of papers in a day within 9-3pm, do the calculations I'm to zoinged out to do any logic right now. So glad everything was crammed into a day so I need not worry about the week anymore. I can officially say I am done with college! Done with KDU! Adious shitty rut! No it's not that I don't have good experience studying there it just took me double the time to get it all-most done. Right now I've got my 3 month internship ahead of me which I am kinda getting the kick of reality. In a week or two from now I'm going to be a working woman living on my own without mummy and daddy boohooo =........( no one to wash my laundry, mop the floor, dust the house, clean my room occasionally and most of all the naggings of staying out too late.

Wait my point is, before my thought stray to more unrelated issues I have in mind. Yea my point is when I was doing my last round of double checking my answer for my Dekstop Publishing paper I came to realized I've never mistakenly answer more questions required in any essay sections. For example you have 5 questions to choose from all you need to do is pick 2 and answer them. Amazingly I have never ever mistakenly answered all like those who DON'T READ INSTRUCTIONS or have I ever not answered the last page of question on the back of the paper like what MOST OF YOU would do haha.

The thing is I might have missed out one or two questions for short answers because I decided to skip it and go to the next question. Either I had no time to thoroughly check it through or I just forgot about the unanswered question entirely.

I am proud of myself in a way

The hot chic+fat chic combo

Ok guys how true or how often does this happen? There's this really cute looking chic who you've been eyeing on for quite sometime and you are waiting just to take the right move to walk over there and say hi. But..... the only thing is she's always with this fat/ugly girl who happens to be her bff. What do you do? It's obvious you have to get through this not-so-attractive friend of hers first to get to her. Find a scapegoat(a buddy of yours who's willing to be a decoy, or who's willing to take the other ugly chic when you both go on double dates) haha.......

You know somewhere deep down I've always felt like the fat/ugly chic but I never let it bother me or felt unwanted. So what if guys are interested in my hot girl friends? So what I'm not the first girl that catches your attention when you enter the room. You know personality shines through! It's bigger than pam anderson's double d's. Unless your intention is to get into her pants then be my guess go ahead and oogle all you want at pam anderson's double d's =)
