The Mines

My sister and I went to the Mines few days ago for O.P.I Feet Spa. It was great. My feet became much fairer and softer. My sister needed to do a quick fix so she had a haircut at a very unique saloon. they only provide hair trimming. They have a lot of rules that seems stricter then the rules in a library. One rule that caught my attention was a rule on no tipping. That's the first time I saw such a rule. They had four chairs near the entrance and it's clearly stated on the wall that they are meant for the the waiting patrons only. Luckily my sister was the only customer at that time so they didn't chase me out when i was sitting there waiting for my sister. rm15 for a 10 minutes haircut was perfect since we were rushing to catch a movie.
When we first arrived, we decided to watch a movie. I already had Incredible Hulk in mind. My sister gave us two options Hulk or Get Smart but of course I would choose the former. I had seen the I.Hulk trailer so I already had my expectations however since Shaz said it was not so nice so I told myself not to expect much. I am so glad the movie is every bit what I expected when I watched the trailer or maybe even slightly better than the trailer. I was so thankful that the trailer was not misleading. I am so buying the DVD! can't wait for it to come out. Edward Norton is familiar, maybe because he somehow reminds me of Shia Labeouf because i had never seen any of his movies before. Whatever it is, after watching the movie, I have come to like him.
They have made the right choice by giving Liv Tyler the role. She's so beautiful and I am very happy to see her again.

Shaz's short trip to Genting

Shaz texted me yesterday morning. She wanted me to guess where she was. I named three places; perhentian island, genting highland and her in-laws' house. She said it was genting and she was going there alone and that she's on a bus. she told me that it's crazy but i told her that's not crazy, that's worse than that. something that can't be described by word. apparently she got so bored and was also stressed that she decided to go to Genting yesterday morning. So we have been texting each other when she was on the way to Genting, when she was on the cable car. All the while I was with Aisha and Shermaine, having my lunch at the Penang House. She said she thinks Rz is kind of angry at her but I just told her that that is not possible and to not think to much about it. She didn't even tell her parents about it. When she got there she told me there were too many guys and she's scared and wished that she had never came. I told her to remain calm and act as if she's so used to the place and know what she's doing or where she's going and all. She didn't reply. When I got home, I took a long nap and didn't realize she message me after that. She said she watched The Incredible Hulk and didn't quite enjoy it. She said it's boring. I asked her whether or not it was possible that she didn't enjoy the movie because she was alone and stressed. She said that it was possible too and it was very cold in there. She went home right after the movie finishes. She is so daring. That is something I definitely can never do, at least not for now.

Just another day

I missed my last class today. I'm pretty sure my lecturer had given some tips for our final exam next Monday. We left the house more than 2 hours late which made me become very upset but I tried not to show it my sisters fearing Allyn might think it's her fault since we had to wait for her to get ready. So when I realized that I would be 45 minutes late I told Aisha to turn back since I don't think I can brave myself to enter the class after being so late. We went to Alamanda to have lunch. We ate at Manhattan Fish Market, its Allyn's and also my favourite restaurant. We ordered Manhattan Seafood Platter for two and dory fish with salads and some fried mushroom. Like always they tasted as excellent as they have always been. I went to MPH bookstore to find the two sequels of Twilight but unfortunately they were out of stock. ohh and we went to a toy store to look for Uno and 'Guess Who?' since we are already bored with 'Game of Life', Monopoly and Kludo. I haven't been to one for a long time. After a thorough discussion we ended up buying 'Who Is It?', the closest we could get to 'Guess Who?' as well as Uno, bingo and dartboard. I have always wanted to buy dart game since I was a kid but my dad wouldn't allow me to. Seeing how crazy they played just now finally made me understood why my dad wouldn't allow it lol. It's so very annoying and very noisy since they hung it at the door. and it's actually MY door!
They were a lot of games at the store that reminded me of myself as a kid and there were also a lot of new games that seemed complicated. (or maybe its not that complicated, merely requiring me to read the instruction, something I am very lazy to do.)
Allyn told us how happy she was to be there with us
as we were leaving the mall. I was so glad to hear that. That means she's having fun and would probably like to stay with us again in the future. =D Living together with Aisha, just the two of us is fun but like they always say, 'the more the merrier'. Luckily Fitri will be staying with us at the Cyberjaya home after he finishes his pre-uni(they call it Alpha or foundation or something) next semester.

Twilight


My sister really likes this book and recommended it to me. it's a teen flick. not something that I normally read but I gave it a try and so far I really enjoy the book. it's about high school teenagers, love and vampires. it's a first person point of view. from the view of Isabella Swan. The style of writing is not really my kind but like I said I am enjoying it. a movie has been made based on this book and it will be in the cinema on 12 December this year. I'm really looking forward to the movie and I am hoping that it will not be disappointing. I have never seen Catherine Hardwicke's previous work but from the reviews that I have read on the movies she had previously directed, they are rather positive and are given high ratings too. I watched the videos on youtube that are related to this book and the movie, all of them are fan made except one and that is the official teaser of the movie. Found two videos that I really like, one is the teaser and the other is a fanmade trailer which is the winner of a twilight trailer contest. I prefer the latter though since the former is rather misleading despite the fact that it's the official one. how ironic, I know.





I am very happy with the casts they have selected especially with the Cullens since the Cullens family as described in the book is very special.
