Scott Pilgrim vs The World!

0

I love this movie!

One of the underrated films that should’ve gotten a major box office. Superb effects, great and hilarious comical values/parody, great lines.. great fight scenes.. oh and AWESOME MUSIC. What you hear in the video above has the bass music from the bass battle between Scott Pilgrim and the 3rd evil ex.If you’re into bass playing, you might want to check out tacoma thunderchief electric bass.

Another song that I love the most is the one performed by ‘The Clash At Demonhead’, called ‘Black Sheep‘. Song originally sung by Metric.

Fucking love this song. Too bad I can’t post the full music video because all of them had embed disabled. This song makes me go totally bisexual. Hot singer and hot bass player. Oh yeah. Eye candy.

A Little Stressed Out

1

Yes I am.

I’m on the edge of bankruptcy. I’m not kidding. There’s nothing I can do in this city. If I was in KL, I’d have bigger and better opportunities to get a job that’s related to what I studied. I have loans to pay, bills to pay, personal expense to cover and I’m pulling my hair out right now. Why am I stuck in this city? Because I can’t afford KL lifestyle at the moment. Also, there’s NO WAY in hell that I’m going back living in that hell hole a.k.a my apartment.

I’m being pressured from every corner. My work, my mom, my ‘boss’, my colleague, my family, my own self… I just wish that I could disappear for a while. Sometimes I think that I’ve strayed too far from my life plan and made some bad choices .. especially leaving KL and leaving my passion. I don’t know. This is killing me. I just wish everybody would stop pressuring me, leave me be and let me do my own thing peacefully.

What’s even suckier is that I went into Amazon.com couple of days ago and saw majority of my DVDs that are in my wishlist are on SALE. Some are dirt cheap. And I can’t friggin afford them anymore! But I couldn’t let go two – CHARMED COMPLETE SERIES DVD which I’ve been wanting for SO LONG but it has always been so expensive.. It was on sale for USD$71.50 so technically each season cost about $9 only.. so that’s cheap.  The second one is THE VAMPIRE DIARIES SEASON 2 BLURAY which cost $23.00.. FUCKING FINALLY. I have been keeping an eye for this set to go cheap and finally it’s cheap enough for me to buy! Right after I ordered them Charmed increased to almost $100 and Vampire Diaries increased to almost $51.00 at the time I’m writing this.

There were a lot more DVD that were cheap but I didn’t order them fast enough and the next few hours they increased in price :( This is so depressing but I did spend thousands on amazon for the past few months.. O_O;; Oh yeah here’s another deal. If you want some good deal, you can get dropdowndeals coupons and save more! I think now is a good time because it’s -

DECEMBER!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, falalala la la la laaaaaa….

Jolly my arse.. Gosh I can’t believe it’s the last month of 2011 already.. and I don’t think I’ve done anything productive this year…

Reminiscing Harry Potter In A Glance

0

This actually almost made me cry remembering 10 years ago how excited I was when Harry Potter started.. with all the hype, the obsession, everything.. and now it has ended.. a part of my teenage years has ended but Harry Potter’s magic will always be with us. I’m actually waiting to get the final movie in Bluray because I have yet to see it. I KNOW. It’s the ending and I haven’t even seen it. I’m disappointed with myself.

Because the picture is HUGE, it’ll be hidden under the cut. Click below to see.

A Whole Day of Learning

0

I woke up early tonight and I can’t go back to sleep. I have so much things to do today. I’m thinking of straightening my hair and cutting it a bit today. We’ll see. Not sure what to do now – maybe blog a bit then play Second Life for a while then watch tv. I don’t know.

Looking for watches? Citizen watches.

Yesterday I went to a training lecture at YMCA Ipoh to learn new products for my new part time job as financial/wealth adviser. I was trying to absorb so much in one day of things I barely knew about and after having only an hour sleep. I was like a zombie for the whole day. However the ‘lecturer’ was so hilarious that I managed to sit through everything without falling asleep. He was absolutely hilarious. The best part? The food. We had tea break at 10.20 am with fried vermicelli, and some chiffon cakes and tea, then lunch break at 12.30 pm with rice, chicken, veggies and egg curry then another tea break at 3 pm with fried spring roll and some dessert/snack. I didn’t take any pictures because I didn’t think there was anything interesting about it.

I’ve been depressed the day before. I was feeling very emo and very lonely. I started to play with Second Life a bit and had forgotten how much just wandering around in the 3D world, shopping for clothes and hair could make me forget my depression and to just kill time. I had forgotten it was my temporary ‘cure’ during my breakup years ago. Second Life has changed so much now though and it’s like a strange world compared to the small, friendly world back in 2007 but oh well.

Alright now I’m gonna watch Flatliners. Last time I watched this was when I was 11.. didn’t get a thing about this movie except that some med students tried to experience life after death. I think I fell asleep too back then and thought this was a boring movie because I don’t remember much about this movie. Great casts in this movie. All the big names – Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Back, William Baldwin – all looking damn hot and also the gorgeous Julia Roberts.

Zumba Exhilarate

I keep going into a short hiatus.

I’ve been extremely busy trying to do 1001 things. I’ve taken an interest in baking lately and I’ve been making lots of cupcakes! Mmm good cupcakes. I will post some pictures when I’m not being lazy. It’s actually 8 am now and I have been up all night and I seriously need a little bit of sleep so I’m gonna make this fast.

I’m waiting for my order from amazon.com to arrive. I hate expedited shipping. Also, before, I could track my package but this time I can’t. One thing I really wanna get is the zumba exhilarate DVD. the trailer looks awesome! This look like it could be the best zumba dvd! I miss doing zumba. I can’t do any dance whatsoever in front of my TV area because it’s currently using a mat. I need carpet or else I’ll slip and prolly break a bone.

Check out the zumba promo – it looks awesome! I love the club-like setting.

Amazon.com is EVIL :(

GODDAMN AMAZON.

I declare Amazon to be very evil.

It seduced me with its discounts.

:(

In my previous post, I mentioned that I bought like 7 DVDs.. that includes the box set which technically contains 8 seasons, so that’s like 14 DVDs in a day! My record. And I thought it would end there but somehow I couldn’t stop browsing amazon.. it’s like calling to me.. and to see all the cheap discounts compared to 2005 it made me go crazy wide-eyed hysterical.

So I bought more :(

Here are some of new DVDs I bought:

THE DREW CAREY SHOW FIRST SEASON $39.98 $13.49

This was a spontaneous decision. I miss the show :( It was hilarious. I wish they would release the rest of the seasons. I didn’t think of ordering this at first but when I saw the 66% discount and it’s quite cheap now so I had to get it. Apparently majority of TV series DVD are below 20 bucks now which makes me go crazy @_@

 

 

FAWLTY TOWERS $49.98 $23.99

This has got to be one of the best shows of all time. So fucking hilarious. John cleese is legend. I already have a bootleg copy of this but for the commentary and extra features, I’m willing to buy the original. Plus, it has 52% off! Half the price so must get.

 

 

MY WIFE & KIDS FIRST SEASON $24.98 $14.99

Damon Wayans is one hilarious guy! I’d love to have Michael (his character) to be my dad, haha. I love this show.. wish they’d release more seasons. But thank God I ordered just in time before amazon ran out of stock and instead being sold by 3rd party seller now.. which can’t ship both season 1 and 2 to outside of the US. FUHH. I’m so happy.

 

 

MY WIFE & KIDS SECOND SEASON $29.98 $17.99

Must get the second season too because it has 43% discount…

 

 

DIFF’RENT STROKES FIRST SEASON $19.94 $10.99

“Whatchoo talkin’ bout, Willis?”
Who could forget the late Gary Coleman and his infamous line? Haha. I never got the chance to watch this when it was on TV so I wanna watch it now. It’s cheap anyways.

 

 

FAMILY MATTERS FIRST SEASON $29.98 $14.99

Steve Urkel annoys me to hell but that’s what make him so hilarious haha. I remember watching him when I was a kid but I didn’t watch the whole season so since it’s also cheap now I decided to buy it.

 

 

THAT THING YOU DO! $19.98 $15.99

I actually added this the last minute. I LOOOOOOVE this movie. I’ve been looking for this for ages since my vhs tape can’t be played anymore cuz my vhs player is broken. When I saw this has the extended cut PLUS all the bonus features, I decided to get it. I can’t help myself.

 

Well, that’s what I bought yesterday/today. Argh. I gotta stop buying these damn DVDs. My mom is so gonna kill me when they arrives.. that’s like.. 21 DVDs in a week.. WTF. OH EM GEE. That’s gotta be my new record. Anyways. I can’t wait for these DVDs to arrive. I hope they arrives in good condition. I’ve been having a lot of troubles with amazon.com so I hope no defective DVD or something. For this order I opted for priority shipping so it’ll arrive most probably in 4-6 days :D

You can tell I’m one classic TV sitcom freak XD

Vampire Radu Is Epic Awesome [Subspecies Series]

1

I WANT.

I didn’t know they have this ‘EPIC COLLECTION‘ of the Subspecies series. You see, if you’re a fan of horror movies, and vampire movies, this is one series that you should watch. If you love Nosferatu, Vampire Radu is as creepy as Nosferatu. This collection has the complete collection of the series:

  • Subspecies
  • Bloodstone: Subspecies II
  • Subspecies III: Bloodlust
  • Subspecies IV: Bloodstorm
  • Vampire Journals

The makeup effect for Vampire Radu and his ‘MUMMY‘ (get it? mommy – mummy? haha.. yes his mother is a prune-like all wrinkled up mummy)..The creepiness is there.. unlike the glittery vampire movies nowadays. You can’t get this kind of movies anymore. And his brother Stefan in the first part of the movies, ‘Subspecies’ was hot.. :D Part 2 has been my fave since I was 9 years old.

I had the imported version of Subspecies.. but I want MOAR. I want this DVD set but it’s too expensive.. damn.

Speaking of DVD, all of my DVDs have been shipped by amazon, yay. Should reach here next month, I hope. Fingers crossed.

STEFAN IS HOT.

So much like ‘Vampire Diaries’ except in VD both of the brothers are extremely hot and rape-able.. in Subspecies, you don’t wanna fuck with Radu lol.

I was checking this page for Black diamond earrings but I saw a picture of a skull ring for men.. ahhhh uber love. <3

Amazon, It Has Been So Long…

1

Ahhhh… it’s been a while…

The last time I ordered anything from Amazon was in November and December of 2006. I want a lot of DVDs but I have no money to get them. However yesterday morning i was just browsing amazon’s website and was surprised to find that the DVD that I want is quite cheap!

 

HOME IMPROVEMENT THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY COMPLETE COLLECTION!!

Home Improvement has been one of my favorite all time tv shows since I was a kid. It’s the type of sitcoms from the 90s that I could never get bored of and you could never get this kind of comedy nowadays. I’ve been eyeing on this anniversary set since before its release (May 10th, 2011) and boy was I surprised when I looked at the price yesterday morning.

The original price is $129.99 but there was a $40 discount so it was $89.99!  I thought that was already a good deal considering buying all seasons individually would cost almost or over $200…but that’s not just it! Turns out amazon is giving ANOTHER $20 discount so technically it was just $69.99! Fuck, that was so cheap for 8 seasons! In 2006, I bought season 3 at $31.99 but now it’s $21.99 and season 5 at $30.99 when now it’s just $23.99.. grrr.

After conversion to my currency, the set cost RM214 instead of RM398.. if I buy individually would prolly cost RM500 – RM600…

So without any hesitation, I bought it with the thought that I can pay back when I get my pay… turns out I won’t get any because of some previous system error in payment… they paid me extra so now they’re retracting the extra amount paid which would be what I would receive this month pfffffft. All I have now would be debt in my credit card, fuck.

Anyways. Mobile home for sale :D

After ordering that, I was browsing a bit more and found out some DVDs are cheap as well! Argh. I hate discounts… so I had to get them :\ I got -

Growing Pains :D

I actually have not seen this show.. the reason why I bought it because I’ve always wanted to watch the show since I was a big fan of Kirk Cameron. Original price $27.98 but it’s now $12.49 … that’s 55% discount :D!

 

I LOVE LUCY!

Ok who doesn’t know ‘I love Lucy’ show..

I actually have yet to see it :\ It was probably on tv when I was young but I can’t remember a thing. So since the first & second seasons are both priced at $12.49 instead of $22.99 so I thought I’d get them too.. I LOVE Lucille Ball.. I find her hilarious from ‘The Lucy Show‘ which I want to get later, hopefully. Maybe in my next order.

Okay, I actually had a lot of problems with the order. I wanted to order something that’s not from amazon but fulfilled by them. Apparently I can’t choose expedited or priority shipping method if I order something not sold by amazon. Thanks for not letting me know that! I talked to the customer rep through online chat and boy did she fucking piss me off. She was stupid but at least she was nice.

After realizing that, I deleted one order from another seller and contacted the customer rep again and this time the rep was smart but quite rude. Rude as in he (I’ll assume it was a he) was rushing me.. Wouldn’t even wait 20 seconds for me to type my questions, didn’t even ask if there was anything else I wanted to ask and just said goodbye.. wtf. HOW RUDE. However, he did change to priority shipping even though my order was already in shipping process.. turns out I’d need like $120+ just for shipping alone! WTF. No way.

So I changed to expedited… it was like $70.. but would take 2 weeks+ to arrive :( I hate that. I always use priority but maybe my Home Improvement DVDs are too heavy. But then I received an email (because I also emailed them about changing shipping) and they changed my shipping back to priority argh. But told them to change back to expedited. So my items have been shipped :D Can’t wait.. it better not arrive ruined.

Apart from these above, I also ordered (separate shipment):

Sweet Valley High First Season DVD! OMG I’ve been wanting this for years since it was first released in March 2005.. but at that time it was priced at almost $25 I think, which was too expensive for me.. (or was it more?) But now it’s just $14.95 so just HAD to buy it. It’s part of my childhood. I was a huge fan of the sweet valley series.. I would read the book every night before sleep. However this was not sold by amazon and was the cause of my shipment problem.

Richie Rich! Gotta love Macaulay Culkin in this. I thought I’d get this because it’s just $4.99 from the original $14.98. Thought it’s quite a bargain. I could prolly get it at the same price or cheaper here but what the hell.

Dennis The Menace! I just loooove the kid. He’s so cute but annoying hehe This one is $4.99 too so I thought what the hell.

These 3 DVDs would prolly arrive like in a month or so because of the standard shipping.. I hope it’ll arrive in one piece.. :\

Phobia 2 Review

16

I finally downloaded and watched ‘Phobia 2′. I remember when I was in class, someone suggested to me to search for ’4bia’ on youtube and watch it since I love horror movies. I remember watching the first and second plots but had forgotten to resume watching until last night. I loved the first plot. I thought it was quite creepy. One thing about Thai horror movies is that they can be creepy. None of the modern Hollywood horror crap.  They’re also smart and not just going towards the chop chop slash kind. The only Hollywood horror that’s smart and really chills you to the bone is The Sixth Sense. I haven’t found any that can rival that. It’s all just remakes of classic or asian horror now.

Phobia 2 is a combination of 5 different parts of stories directed by 5 different directors. In 4bia, they’re sorta connected but they have one theme in common – fear with death. In the second one, there’s another common theme – fear of/with (vehicle) accidents. I don’t know if I see any connection with all the stories though.

PLOT

‘Novice’
Fourteen year-old Pey committed a crime, so his mom decides to hide him in a Buddhist monastery to escape punishment. However, something deep down inside is bothering him. Will Pey’s Karma catch up with him?

‘Backpackers’
Upon graduation, a young Japanese couple decides to hitchhike around Thailand. They manage to get a ride on a truck, but suspect something strange in the truck’s trailer. What exactly is in the back of the truck?

‘In the End’
Four boys are filming an upcoming horror movie. As they are shooting their last scene, one of the actresses dies mysteriously. To finish the film, they have to have her complete her scene, DEAD or NOT.

‘Salvage’
A car dealer makes her living by refurbishing used cars, sometimes with horrific pasts. One night after closing, she discovers her son is missing. Could these cars have memories of their tragic histories?

‘Ward’
A young man is in hospital for a motorcycle accident. He is moved into a room with an old man on life support. When strange things start happening in the middle of the night, he starts to wonder. Is he really alone?

—–

Hmm out of all, I think the one that gives me the chill is ‘Salvage’. Why? I’m sure for most people, they would say ‘Backpackers’…but it doesn’t scare me. Maybe because I’m a huge zombie fan, and to see zombies running around does not scare me now. HOWEVER, this part do have a very cute guy that I like. Why I chose Salvage? Because nothing can chill me more than finding out a terrifying story from the past.. in this case, stories about the cars. They refurbish cars that had fatal accidents so nothing is more chilling than seeing those horrific moment ‘replaying’ again.. seeing the deaths again…urgh.

Here’s what I think of all the plots:

Novice: This is a bit slow..quite creepy but it has also a bit of dramatic sadness in it.

Backpackers: Nothing new… more like zombies running around. I love zombies so I like this part. But love the cute guy more. The ending however is quite predictable.

Salvage: As mentioned, it’s my fave part that chilled me.

Ward: This is the ‘hardcore’ part out of all. If you watched this in the cinema, I’m sure this is the part that gives the BOOM BOOM scare. By that I mean audio scare. While the rest gives you a slow chilling, or thrilling action, this makes you jump in your seat when it goes BOOM.

In The End: The last part. I love how the guys from the first 4bia came back for this.. and they’re funny! They gave a comedic feeling for the first movie, and they did too in this part. It’s quite creepy but this has got to be my most favorite part. The guys had similar plot at the end like in 4bia, and you thought you caught the so-called predictable ending but haha, I tell you this has the best twist out of all. I totally didn’t expect the outcome.

However, the movie I downloaded had the worst subtitle ever. Whoever created that subtitle needs to go back to English school. It’s so shitty it pissed me off. It’s hard because you’re relying on the sub for some part of the movie, and it has typos all over.

I googled the cute guy in ‘Backpackers’ part (in the blue shirt in picture above) and found out his name is ‘Charlie Trairat’. Ahh he’s sooo cute. Totally rape-able.

Too bad I’m not into Thai actors as I was with JPOP boys. Thailand has lots of cute and hot guys.

I give the movie 3/5. It’s a chilling movie if you watch it alone at night but it doesn’t give you the ultimate scare. Anyways, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to my fellow Chinese friends. I’m gonna go watch something now. Unfortunately this blog has a dumbass jerk as a follower now who leaves idiotic comments once in a while. I feel the love, brother.
