I was browsing youtube yesterday. You know that shitmyx (our stupid slow poke internet ISP streamyx) has decided to throttle youtube??? Not only they throttle torrent before, now youtube? I mean come on, YOUTUBE? I didn’t even know that. I mean it was still okay in terms of loading time until couple of weeks ago youtube has become SO SLOW. Like a 1 minute video would take 5 minute to load. But yesterday I tweaked my setting and now the speed has improved a bit. There are a few sites that I can’t load now.. could it be.. they’ve blocked some sites?! Because I used to be able to load.. now it says server not found, but when I use a proxy, I could load it. FUCK SHITMYX. It has already a piece of shit, and they dare to be even more stinking piece of cow dung by implementing this? What the hell is ‘unlimited broadband’ supposed to mean then?

ANYWAYS.

I have not been into JPOP for a long time. Yesterday I stumbled upon Arashi’s new single, “Troublemaker”.. saw their interview and performance in music station and instantly fell in love with the song! It’s so friggin catchy and fun.. and it has fun dance routine too.. of course, Arashi members haven’t aged a bit. Damn Japanese. So I watched their PV (music video) and I so love it! It has cute stop motion animation at the beginning which is something I so wanna do if I have a chance to make a video.. ! I thought it’s very creative. It has cute stop motion throughout the video.. Ahh Nino.. so friggin cute. I love how he pushes Ohno a lot in this.. Ohmiya SK :D Here’s the PV.. it’s so cute!

Okay, almost 10 am now.. gonna finish my breakfast and go to the gym.. I have to meet my trainer at 11 am.. gotta use up my remaining 2 free training session before it expires >.< They never told me about the expiration! Oh yeah, have you heard maxoderm? I was reading something and saw this word and I thought, hey it sounds like a skin care product.. because most of skin care products have ‘derm’ in it.. so I read what it is, and it turns out to be a topical med for men so they can have harder and longer lasting erection.. haha. But if you look at the website and see user’s comments, they’re hilarious.

This was supposed to be written a week ago. Okay so last week, when I came back from Ipoh on Wednesday (February 24th), I had an invitation to go to this lose big programme designed by Dave Nuku, Biggest Loser Asia’s blue team trainer. I’m a huge Biggest Loser Asia fan (as well as the US version) and also Dave Nuku’s fan. Not because he’s hot (lol) but he’s very caring, gentle and supportive in the show. So of course, when I got an invitation to meet Dave in person, I would not waste it.

It was held at e@Curve (formerly cineleisure) and I arrived at 7 pm and had to wait for roughly 30-40 minutes there until everyone was there. When I arrived there was already a lot of people waiting and those who got the table at the front there will get to mingle with Dave and take pictures. I wanted to do that but he was so busy. After that we were all asked to go into the cinema, where he would give the talk. Oh and I also met this lady who was very talkative, so I wasn’t really alone and looking all dumb. Hehe.

I was surprised that Ally Iskandar was hosting the event. He’s the famous TV3 (local station) host. He’s a funny guy. After a few talks, then Dave gave a really interesting (and he’s hilarious) talk about how to lose weight and get motivated to do so. Then another surprise guest appeared — SYANIE! Okay, she’s this famous Malaysian comedian artist who is morbidly obese. Last year she surprised everyone when she decided to do the gastric bypass surgery. And to date, she has surprisingly lost 60KG!  Wow. When she appeared, she looked a lot thinner than healthier than she was before. She’s also joining this programme. Of course, her being an artist, and obviously now ambassador for this programme, she’s getting in for free I assume. Even if she’s not, she could so afford it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. It cost RM3600+ for this 13 weeks structured programme to lose weight.. well Rm1000 less if you register that night. If I was morbidly obese and didn’t get through the audition for Biggest Loser Asia, then I might consider this but I’m not morbidly obese.. I’m not even obese.. I’m still in the normal range, just out of shape lol.

Though, having a trainer, in this 13 weeks programme along with other fat people with the same motivation is good. I just need upper body strength to tone my arms and chest… I’d need something like this dip station… I need to stop being lazy and go to the gym once my face is healed.

Before my phone’s battery died completely I managed to snap this picture of the 3 of them (Mr Shawn (sp?), Syanie and Dave) having a chat together. I didn’t register for the programme but I did get a (useless) goodie bag by Fitness First. I got a deodorant for MALE. Geez. Deodorant would be useful but it’s for male >.> Either the girl mistakenly gave me the male bag or they only have male deodorant to give away. Oh well. At least I had a delicious mini bruschetta-like snack and 2 bottles of free mineral water lol.

And I got this too : -

A picture with Dave! I look fat. The girl didn’t know how to use my phone camera to take a picture.. this is the 3rd picture and the only clear picture.

Oh and the next day was my birthday! haha. Didn’t have a good birthday but I did get some wishes in facebook. :) Ok, now.. next blog!

WARNING: This entry is suitable to be read while playing Shakira’s She-Wolf in the background. Awwwwuuuuu!

Nuffnang is having this contest that 30 lucky bloggers who gets picked will get to see “New Moon” premiere a day earlier than the rest of Malaysia. OMGZ I SO WANT!!11!!11!1!

Okay I’m not gonna fill this post with super-excited-omgz-Edward-Jacob-so-hawtz!!11-teenybopper post. We’ve seen too many of those. I’m just gonna get real about why I’m excited about New Moon.

I’ve never posted this in my blog, only on my facebook, but lo and behold… I present you, my own Twilight spoof.

Haha if you were from my Media Studies class, you would have already seen that. Our assignment was to localize a movie scene and me, being a Twifan suggested that our group to spoof/localize Twilight. Especially since the main actor really fit to play Edward! Haha. It was a fun shoot. It may look dumb to you, but that was the point. Bloopers in my facebook. We wanted it to look silly.

Since then, we always make fun of the main guy… with his now trademark sentence – “I’m soooooooooooooooooooooooo shining!”

And of course, for my graduation showcase, for my theme, I chose Twilight ;)

I still remember last year, around this time, my friends and I went for a camp at the outskirt of Melaka. After that, Claudia invited me to watch Twilight but I was way too tired to go, and could barely walk due to muscle cramps so I decided to pass. Little did I know that couple of months later, when the movie was out on DVD and I decided to download it that I’d instantly become obsessed with it.

So what’s so special about the upcoming New Moon? Beside the obvious reasons that Edward is oh-so-hot and suddenly Jacob gained super hot masculinity with that super hot bod (I mean, have you seen the trailer??? Jacob purposely took off his shirt..and somehow Edward would to later? Oh come on! Battle of body, anyone?)… I think the story is what captured me the first. I was always a fan of Robert Pattinson since Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire… but the story is more like my ‘fantasy’.. this forbidden love thing between human and vampire.. oh come, like you’ve never fantasized being with Lestat or Louis (Tom Cruise or Stuart Townsend & Brad Pit) from Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned and now in New Moon, a love triangle between Jacob, Bella and Edward…. tell me if you don’t feel somewhat an adrenaline rush about it. It’s always exciting to fantasize about having 2 hot guys (a vampire and a werewolf, haha…) fighting over you. Except I’m not that lucky.

That reminds me, I have yet to read the books — well, more like audio books that I downloaded. I’ve read like half of Twilight before I got extremely busy last semester, and the book is SO MUCH BETTER. However, I prefer watching the movie first before reading the books because then I can imagine what the characters look like as I read. I’ll finish reading listening to them after all the graduation stuff is over in December.

Another exciting part is DAKOTA FANNING. I mean seriously, Dakota? It feels as if it was only yesterday I watched her in The Cat in the Hat, I am Sam, Hide and Seek etc where she’s just this cute 10 year old who talks and act like a full grown adult. I remember watching her on Oprah and she knitted her something… I can’t remember if it was a sweater or a scarf. SERIOUSLY? A 10 year old who can knit?? Geez louise. It’s gonna be interesting to see her a bit grown up in this movie.

Before I end this entry, I leave you with this youtube video of a famous Twilight spoof that I love oh-so-much by Evil Iguana Productions! Haha, because of this spoof, I am now a big fan of EIP Productions and also Craig and Allen. They’re both two funny guys in youtube. Of course, not forgetting, “Movies in Minutes” Twilight spoof by none other than Ryan Higa aka nigahiga! Haha, another one of the funniest people in youtube ;)

Oh and I so wish I can get that premiere tickets to watch this, even though it’s only a day earlier but it makes a special difference to be able to enjoy it first with just 29 other winners before the rest of Malaysia.

Wait, do you think I’d leave without posting Ryan Higa’s funniest New Moon spoof in his “Movies in Minutes” collection? Haha, no way!

Al-fatihah to Yasmin Ahmad.

We lost another icon this month. First MJ, now her. She was a famous Malaysian director, although I don’t really like her movies but I admire her for being a successful director. Life is so short. She was just giving proposal presentation couple of days ago, she collapsed, she was in coma after that and tonight she passed away. She was only 51 (like MJ, he was 50). So sad. May she rest in peace. So it’s better to prepare yourself, get insurance like Medicare supplement insurance, cuz you never know when your time will come.

On the other hand, I’ve been having fever since yesterday. I’ve been feeling really awful and I spent last night and whole day today sleeping. Gah. Good thing is that my terrible migrain has stopped, so my head is not throbbing like it’s gonna burst anymore, but I do have bad spinning headache, sore throat, coughing and nose block still. Because I was sick yesterday, I didn’t stay for the MJ tribute they had at college. Blah.

Okay, going to rest now.

I watched Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince!
It was t3h aw3someness!

I’m back with my tradition – watching HP on the first morning screening. I missed it last year because I had no one to go with. I saw the sneak peak yesterday on HBO and the clips looked awesome so no matter what I wanted to see it today. So I booked the ticket online and at the time I booked it, all the back seats were taken, there was only 2 seats left on the 4th row from the back I think but today the whole row behind me was empty, wtf. Prolly only a few seats were taken but the rest? EMPTY. Wtf. But nevermind, I had a perfect seat, right in the center. Not too far back, not too front. And yeah I went alone.

The movie itself was awesome and…the word I long to say – satisfying. HP has been quite a disappointment for me since Prisoner of Azkaban (3rd one). I’ve always felt that they left out the ‘magical’ world of HP and just concentrate on the plot and darkness. But I’m so glad that the 6th one is damn satisfying for me. It has all the elements that made the 1st and 2nd to be great, in my opinion.

Okay, what’s so satisfying? It has the magical element. One special thing about HP is the magical world. They brought back the magic of HP’s world. They ignored this before after the 2nd one. The first half of the movie is more relaxed. That’s what I like. Sure there’s some dark moment but it doesn’t get intense until the next half of it. It’s FUNNY! Previous HP has been — well dark. Too dark. But glad this one they included some funny scenes. Then quidditch! :D What else.. oh yeah, expect some funny ‘romance’ scene because hey, they are growing up. Hormones kicking in.

They included very intense moment. Trust me, one scene made everyone jumped in their seat, screaming. Then they included sad moment. Very sad. At the end, they leave you wanting for more of it.. so which means I can’t wait for the next movie. Glad they’re making the final one into 2 parts.

Oh yeah, the movie is pure orgasmic. Previously, only the 2nd and 4th one was pure orgasmic for me because of Tom Riddle’s evilness and death (in 2nd) and Cedric Diggory’s death (in 4th).. but this one — finally Draco gets lots of screen time as he’s now part of the plot so yeah, pure orgasmic. Especially how evil he looks in this one. Totally hot. I won’t spoil any scene for you though.

Oh and I really love the kid and the guy who played young Tom Riddle. The teenage Tom Riddle is perfect at portraying Tom. He’s like so innocent looking yet so very evil, like you can feel his ‘evil’ from his look.. like ‘The Omen’ movie. I actually felt creeped out watching the teenage Tom Riddle.

So yeah, Half Blood Prince did not leave me somehow unsatisfied like the previous 3 films, so it was great. I have to admit, I’ve only read halfway through the 6th book and still haven’t touched the 7th book. I listened to a few chapters yesterday (Half Blood Prince’s audio book) before I fell asleep though. I should start listening again, then listen to audio book 7. I’m lazy to read books.

PURE ORGASMIC I TELL YOU
Nothing better than evil guy in all black suit.
Is it getting hot in here?

Sorry I have a thing for bad boys. Anyways. On totally different topic, I need new face skin careedfa. Ones I’ve been using don’t really work anymore. I’m wondering if Dr. Murad is good? I’ve heard good things about the product but I don’t know.. I can’t easily trust any brands nowadays.

Next movie I can’t wait to watch: The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Saw the poster of it on my way out of the cinema — hot Edward Cullen and hot Jacob Black (so glad they make his hair short now).. can’t get any better than that. *fangirl mode* But that’s not until November 27th. :(

I finally have some time to blog tonight.

I have come to realize that I need a new 1 TB external HDD. This semester, I have so much video files with huge sizes that they start to eat my space. PC Fair is at the end of the month, so gonna try to somehow find a way to get some money for new HDD ..AND.. laptop cooler, cuz I badly need it. However, my one and only tv in my room is starting to really make loud noises sometime so I’m scared that it can die anytime, which means, if I don’t have backup money to buy another cheap tv, I’m screwed. Televisions are quite cheap nowadays, but I still can’t afford them. I’m so sick of watching a small 14 in tv.

So last Wednesday morning, around 1 am, I watched Michael Jackson’s memorial live on tv and online at CNN.com. CNN did a cool collab with facebook that allows people watching the video to update their status there, so everyone was updating their status like crazy as if they’re chatting, wtf. The memorial was extremely EMOTIONAL. Seriously. I cried. I did not expect that. I was disappointed with the closed casket though but later I found out why. When Mariah Carey started the memorial with her singing, and her voice was like cracking as if she was about to cry, that was sad. It got even sadder when Brooke Shields broke down.. when Jermaine sang Charlie Chaplin’s song from the movie Modern Times, gah too sad! I started tearing up.. at the end when Marlon spoke, I was already in tears BUT when PARIS spoke about her dad.. that was it.. I started bawling my eyes out! Imagine, you’re 11 and someone close to you just suddenly passed away..that has got to be traumatizing so Paris really made me sad. It was weird to see Prince and Blanket just chewing gum emotionless though.

I stayed up until 5 am watching the memorial, along with updating and refreshing facebook because some people were watching it too at cnn.com.

I have more to blog about but I’ll do it tomorrow. I’m so tired right now, I stayed up all night last night finishing my video assignment which thank god, had positive feedback from my lecturer or else I stayed up and worked my ass off for nothing. I’ll post it here sometime soon. Right now I have to do some stuff, relax, then sleep but gah, Saturday class tomorrow morning. I need to start blogging for my other sites .. gah, been too busy. This semester has been my most hectic semester, I can’t believe we’re going into week 9 already.

Oh my uncle came here for a week.

I”m still saddened by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. It shows how fragile life is. One minute you could be enjoying yourself and the next you could be dead and you would never expect it. But what’s even sadder with MJ is that even after his death, people still talk bad about him. That guy is dead, let him rest in peace, come on. I hear all this stupid shit like he’s not actually dead but planning a new identity, he now lives in Graceland with Elvis Presley (who people claim is not dead) etc. I’ve been watching some of his old stuff and it made me even sadder. He had a very hard life.

I’m very interested to know what will happen with his cute children. Poor kids an orphan at such young age. They do have a mother but she hasn’t been with them for ages so you can’t count that. Probably she will fight custody now because hey — “it’s MJ’s kids, I can make money out of them“. We’ll see. Surprisingly Billy Mays was found dead at the age of 50 too…just a day apart from MJ I think.. weird. RIP.

I’m going to get ready now to go to old workplace to get some stuff. When I was there, it was quiet and empty because one by one finished their internship, but now the other office is a chaos and almost everyone is always there now working part time.. they even watched Transformers 2 together last week.. I was never invited to join anyone for anything while I was there before. But then again I wouldn’t have time because of the workload but still.. I might go watch it tomorrow alone.. I have no one who likes Transformers to go with and those who do, have already seen it.

Since I’m going there, might as well eat Ayam Penyet (flattened chicken) because Ayam Penyet is just simply awesome. Oh and bubble tea. My favorite.

PS: I so need a part time job.

I woke up this morning, and usually the first thing I’ll do is check facebook. Suddenly I see all this status saying ‘RIP MJ’.. I was shocked so I went to yahoo news and saw the headline.. “MJ dies at 50″.. I just cannot express my shock. When something you totally don’t expect happening, it makes an impact on you. I mean MJ has always been my fave idol since I was a toddler. MJ is one of a kind – the type that people call as evergreen. His songs, no matter how old they are, will always be playing until years to come. You will NEVER get bored of it. You will also never get bored of his dance, and people still do the moonwalking. For an icon like MJ to die at the young age of 50 is just simply sad. It’s just like Elvis or even Malaysian’s legendary artist, P. Ramlee. They all die at young age. Yeah I am extremely sad, because I’m a HUGE fan of MJ. MJ has an impact in my life, and everyone’s lives.. I mean.. come on.. with other artists, I like then then I don’t.. but with him, I grew up listening to him. So yeah, a truly sad day.

Another artist that died yesterday is Farrah Fawcett. I knew her when I was obsessed with “Man of the House” starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas. She was really huge back then as one of the Charlie’s Angels and also so pretty. But she had been battling cancer so it’s not as shocking as MJ. See, I don’t hear much of her death, because those who didn’t grow up watching Charlie’s Angels would not even know her. Everyone has been saying about MJ, and none really mentioned Farrah except maybe a few.. sad, really. Shows that MJ had greater influence in everybody’s lives.

RIP MJ and FF.

On other completely different stuff… I’m surprised I managed to finish downloading Gypsy 83. I mean, there has been only 1 seeder! The download took a few days but yeah, glad I don’t have to order it from amazon because I’ve tried searching it here and I can’t find it. I have to give props to Sara Rue for her daring act of being topless in the movie.. No comment on Kett Turton, I’m just in heaven everytime I see him. I wish I could have someone like Clive (Kett Turton’s character) because he worships Gypsy (Sara) so he’s like this gay boy toy that you keep and drags around as your companion.

Guitar Hero on Tour Modern Hits for the DS is out. Awesome. I need new microsdhc card.

I went to college, got home at 3.30 pm but was called again for meeting so I rushed to college and as soon as I arrived they all left just like that, wtf. So basically I wasted my petrol and rushed to college for nothing. But at least they saw my face there so it’s okay.

Here’s something interesting. You can have your dna test and then you can find out your ancestors by matching up with your ancestry dna. It can be very interesting you know to find out who you could be connected to.. you never know. Alright, I’m gonna go rest while watching Gypsy 83 or play with my DS… I might fall asleep anyway. Ciao.

So, a few posts back, I wrote about TURBO: The movie starring Dave Lehre, the guy that is my inspiration when it comes to the filmmaking and editing world and last week I checked my myspace and I was surprised to see I got a message from him :) Apparently, he somehow saw my blog and my post about his movie so he was sending me a message letting me know and saying his thanks… awwww thanks Dave! :) You rock.

I still can’t wait to see TURBO: The movie.

I’d like to post another short movie starring Dave Lehre, directed by Michael and Daniel Carberry. Now, if you’re just a watching this, you’d be like WTF? Now if you’re a film student, or like to go in depth with the technical stuff, now this is a very good short film. I just love the cinematography. The angles are good, the lighting gives the mysterious, dark mood as we listen to the character hear his own conscience and struggles with his addiction with pills. Dave did a great job portraying an addict. Makes you feel you, too, is going crazy in a very claustrophobic room.

Bah to see young filmmakers do good films really depresses me. I’m pathetic.

Other than that, work has been very interesting. I saw them testing the robot costume for the movie. It’s still very private and confidential so I can’t leak any photos lol. Hmmm what else… well for the past one week, I’ve been going home very late. Last Friday my colleague was on tv, and yesterday they were in the newspaper… which would’ve included me had I wore the damn shirt.

Last Thursday Andre suddenly requested me to do production booklet for the pre production meeting.. so I was like rushing and stuff. There was A LOT to compile and type. And funny coincidence, we saw a singer on tv who has the EXACT hair that Andre has, so we’ve been calling him “Tomok” cuz that’s the artist’s name.. but since he, too, is my Japanese language buddy, so he prefers to be called “Tomogo”, the male version of the name ‘Tomoko’.

PC Fair started on FRIDAY! I went in the morning, lol. Was rushing and all. There was an offer for HDD for REALLY cheap (Rm299!) for 1 TB but only for the first 50, and how unfortunate that before that I went to the bank to withdraw money and fucking ATM machine ate my card! So I could have gotten the HD for extra 40 bucks for RM339 (still cheaper than other booths) but I decided that I don’t like the design. It’s quite light so when my cat goes crazy, they can easily bumps into the HD and it could easily slide off the table.

So I decided to get 2 x 500GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 HD at RM199 each (still in the first 50 people promotion)…so it’s RM398, which technically almost the same price as Western Digital’s 1TB My Book Home edition at RM399. However, after reading lots of comments about HD failing after a short while, I got scared. That’s why I decided to get 2×500Gb, so in case one fails, I have the other. I’ll wait until PC Fair in August. By then, the 2TB HD would probably become cheaper (PC Fair offer was RM888! O___O) ..I want the 4TB though lol. Still over RM1500+ , geez.

PC Fair opened at 11 am, and I arrived at 11.30 am, but it was already so friggin crowded that you can barely walk, gah. The biggest promotion is P1 W1max’s new modem promotion called “Wiggy”.. huge promotion on that. It’s like every inch you turn, a wiggy promoter will bug you about their new modem. To me, even though they promise 10mb connection, if there’s a fair usage policy, with only 10GB quota, fuck no man. I’m sticking with Screamyx…shitty as it is, at least it won’t throttle my bandwidth cuz it has no quota. The speed just…suck.

But I did get to eat Yoshinoya! :D Fucking cheap promotion, RM7.90 for a bowl of beef rice, a bowl of miso soup and small chawanmushi. But what the hell, they’ve turned stingy on chawanmushi! It’s only a couple of spooful now, it’s so little, and it only has like a piece of mushroom and that’s it! No crab no fish no nothing..! Wtf.

Anyways, on Saturday…I had pre-production meeting until 1 am…wahhh T____T It’s all cool though.

Anyways, I’m like procrastinating now when I have so much to do. lol. I should get back to work. I wanna go home and backup more stuff. At least my lappy is no longer running out of diskspace, yay!

Well, I”m shocked.

I received an email from college about the final presentation. Alright. Technically, my internship ends on the 19th. I thought I would be given a few days to prepare documents but guess what? My final presentation is on the fucking 21st! So I only have one day… ONE DAY to get everything prepared —- my report printed and binded, my own name card printed (wtf??? Why do they want a name card???) and also get my supervisor to write me a testimonial letter and my report …. plus my own report on my internship… gathering portfolio and burning them into CD.I have a headache now.

Oh I forgot to mention I’ll be the FIRST TO PRESENT AT 9.30AM??? So I have to be at college and hour before.. which means 8.30 am.. no time to prepare myself or to calm my nerves.

Then again I only have 2 weeks left for internship.. I”m sad and I’m happy. I’m sad because I won’t get to experience more in the industry and I have to get back to the boring life of college and assignment and shits like that.. I also won’t get to see famous celebrities! …. but I’m happy cuz then I’ll get some more free time when I can do personal stuff, and NO MORE ENDURING MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM AT THE LDP HIGHWAY! Oh thank god.

It’s true working in the production line will definitely suck ALL of your energy out.. and I can say this (near) 3 months, I am now energy-less, and been having migraine and spinning headache since the past 3 days. Oh not to mention the stress and also the long and odd working hours. But overall, it’s been very fun and interesting.

Today Fizow Omar came to the office… he’s a model maybe..or actor? was in Hero Remaja competition.. I’m not sure…he’s so fucking hot in person. Hot body, hot face.. here’s a pic of him from his friendster with the very famous actress Erra Fazira…

God he has this built, tough body that’s just sooooooo hot…. and to have him just sitting opposite of me makes me all ‘giggly’ inside (i’m trying to use PG -rated words here).
I also saw Lydiawati, who is sitting nearby me and she’s a very famous Malaysian actress.

I have bad headache now. I’m gonna stop.
