Cold Cool Monday

two days to go!
oohh weee!!!
=P
It has been raining cats and dogs this morning
took a cab to work as i was too lazy to walk in the rain in my heels and skirt
caught some much needed sleep in the cab
hmm maybe that was a mistake cause somehow i'm still sleepy despite my tall tumbler of self made mocha (milo + nescafe) courtesy of the company's pantry.

oh yes
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (HPGF) is now in cinemas. I have yet to watch it tho and i actually have friends who has already watched it twice! wtf! LoLx

Caught snippets of scenes from the movie in behind the scenes specials on various tv channels and tho i might say it makes me even more excited to watch the movie, there's elements of the characters in the movie that i saw that varied alot from the book. Those who has actually read the book should know what i mean.

For example i never imagined that Dumbledore would actually raise his voice at Harry when he found out that Harry was selected as one of the champions for the Triwizards Cup. To me Albus Dumbledore has always been this patient character who would never raise his voice unless necessary, especially at Harry. So it was kind of shocking to have seen Dumbledore raising his voice at Harry and almost strangling him in the process. It was like Dumbledore was a totally different character from how he is being potrayed in the book.

Anyways, i've always loved the potrayal of Dumbledore by the late Richard Harris as compared to Micheal Gambon. To me Richard Harris and Christopher Columbus had the right idea of how Dumbledore should be like when they did the first two movies.

Omg... i just read imdb's review of HPGF and... they said that the scenes with the Dursleys and Molly Weasley were cut due to time constraints???? wtf???? is that true??
man they should have just made the originally planned two part movie instead of cramping the whole 734 pages book into one movie...

Well anyhow i hope no other characters are spoiled by the movie and no other important dramatic scenes are deleted.

argh i cant wait to watch it!!!
*note to peeps who i'm suppose to watch this with... PLEASE DECIDE ON WHEN YOU GUYS WANNA WATCH IT! Prefereably on a weekend so everyone can make it since some of you end quite late on weekdays. midnight movie anyone? pls decide kthanks =P

anyways i'm gonna watch it twice cause i'm 'belanja-ing" (translation = treating) my family to watch it on my birthday.
yes the birthday girl has to treat people in order to get them together. If not i reckon the birthday girl will be spending the eveing alone. LoL

ooh and i didnt know how much i've been missing my B&J Cookie Dough Ice-Cream until i had some yesterday! LoLx
After running my errand at the orphanage yesterday morning, i decide to catch a movie alone since i have not done that for quite some time. Decided to catch Just Like Heaven as recommended by my sis and a friend. Bought myself B&J cookie dough ice-cream from the popcorn counter and i finished it just right before the movie started. ehehe...

Speaking of Just Like Heaven. I would seriously recommend it. I loved it. Both leads, Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffulo were amazing.
The plot may be simple but it tugs at your heart especially in those heartbreaking/warming scenes. The movie somehow reminds you on how we should not take our lives for granted and that there is more to life than just your work.
Go catch it before it ends it runs in the cinemas!

Next movie i so wanna catch besides the Chronicles of Narnia will be Pride and Prejudice. One of Jane Austen classics. Tho i hope Matthew MacFadyen does justice with Mr Darcy's character as Colin Firth did in the 1995 tv series.

Alritey "Jalan Raya" Photos are up! Well not all tho.. but here are some sneak peeks LoLx

.The Writer.

I love standing in the rain, letting the feel of raindrops caress feverish skin, letting it wash away my thoughts, worries and pain. I love the feel of sand between my toes, the cool wind whispering in my ear, the soothing sound of the sea, the warmth of a hug. I love anything vintage, historical, mysterious and magical. I like to laugh, I like freedom and happiness, I like the idea of romance, being swept off my feet and happy endings. I currently have no idea where i'm going but i know i'll get where i'm suppose to be in due time. I want things i cant have, I dream of things that can never be but i'm too afraid to leave the things i'm familiar with even when i know i'm adaptable to change. I can be the person you love or hate, like or loath, admire or envy. I am not perfect,
I am just me.
