movie review : the descendants.

I've been meaning to watch this movie since critics named it as one of the "award-worth" movies, and yeah, because George Clooney's in it.

So basically it's about a middle aged man with his 2 daughters, trying to get themselves ready before the "departure" of his wife. she had been involved in a tragic boat accident that eventually revealed few unexpected secrets.

If you're into action movies or even romantic comedy, this is not a movie for you. you might end up snoring on your seat.

If you're into George "the sexy beast" Clooney , this is also not a movie for you.

He is no "Danny Ocean" in Descendants. Even the way he run is funny (and almost sad)

But if you're into family-oriented movies, the warm, fuzzy feeling will come at you when you watch this.

I did feel warm watching Matthew's (Clooney's character) effort to control his two teenage daughters, even though he has no idea on how to do it since before the accident, he's hardly even at home.

And the daughters really portrayed today's youngsters attitude towards their parents. They are rude, outspoken and demanding. But above all, they love their folks (even if they don't say it out loud)

The movie also taught us about heritage, of no matter how far we've come and go, the land that once theirs is now ours. it's up to us whether we want to appreciate our "gift" from them or not.

It's been a while since I had this certain smile in my face while I think of my own family.

Little Miss Sunshine and Sister's Keeper once made me smile like that.

This one had managed to do the same.

tv series might have taught you a lesson or two.

kisah sejibik epal.

pernah dengar cerita pasal buah epal tak?

tak pernah?

cerita dia simple je. pasal sebiji buah epal yang terletak nun atas pokok yang sangat tinggi.
suatu hari, buah epal ni tengok ke bawah. banyak orang lalu lalang dan petik buah epal dari dahan yang rendah tapi takde sorang pun nak ambil dia.

lama-lama dia jadi fedap.

semua orang asyik ambil buah dari dahan rendah. bila pulak turn dia? dia pun nak jugak dipetik orang.

so sang buah (erk...mcm hang buah pulak) pun ambil keputusan menjatuhkan diri sendiri supaya orang yang lalu lalang tu ambil dia.

tapi takde sorang pun yang nak ambil buah yang jatuh.

so akhirnya buah epal tu busuk macam tu je.

sekarang bayangkan epal tu sebagai maruah seorang wanita.

maybe kadang2 kita wonder, kenapa kita belum lagi "dipetik"

A jumpa B. B suka A. A suka B.

that's it.

orang lain macam senang je.

tanpa berfikir panjang, ada orang yang sanggup merendahkan martabat semata-mata nak "dipilih".

dia tak sedar yang Allah dah ada "jalan" lain untuk dia.

kalau ada yang jeles bila tengok kawan-kawan dah bahagia dengan pasangan masing2, just ingat yang Allah sayang kita.

Dia lindungi kita dari maksiat.

Dan lagi satu, ada sebab kenapa kita berada nun di atas dahan yang tinggi.

Allah mahukan pasangan yang sanggup go through all the trouble "memanjat pokok" utk ambil kita.

At least that's how I see it :)

In the meantime, fokuskan cinta kita kepada ibu bapa, adik-beradik, kawan-kawan, dan paling penting Allah s.w.t

Cause in the end, even if you don't find someone..you'll always know that you have the greatest love in the universe ;)

main masak-masak

to those who really know me, drng tau la aku ni mmg x pandai masak. mwahah. sbb mak and adik aku pandai masak, maka aku pon mcm x nak la meng"crowded"kan dapor kan..too much cooks spoil the broth katenye.. (matilarr xde spe nak amek aku jadi bini nih)

so...bile aku tepun mak aku ckp aku nk masuk pertandingan masak memasak kat ofis, mak aku sure la gelak kan.. =.=

seperti pertandingan dragon boat, marathon dan keje2 giler yg lain, aku masuk sbb sekadar nak cukupkan kuota.

there were 5 of us, and the menu musti ade nasik, lauk, salad, sup and air.

aku dgn pantas volunteer nak potong sayur, garnish and buat air. mwahahaha.

tema dier healthy cooking. so kitorang piki memule nak masak ikan stim. turned out di hari pertandingan, stim xde. huk2. so tukar nak goreng ikan. giler tak healthy! haha

derang bagi masa 1 jam 30 minit. but seryes rasa cepat giler. tup2 host cakap lagi 20 minit (feeling2 masterchef siot.lol)

setelah berterbangan semua pinggan mangkuk dan kuali, inilah hasilnya..

nasik halia dengan mixed vege, ikan goreng masam manis, sup avocado ayam (yg ni kitorang google kat tenet uols),salad udang ,and last but certainly not least..teh o ais serai pandan~ (dem baru perasan aku tak ambek gmbr air. cis)

garnish giler childish kan? huahah. memang nampak bebenor orang bujang yg masak :P

nama yg konon2 kretip la ambek dr lagu p ramlee...sape lg kasik nama kalau bukan aku..kate munsyi kan..haha


pastu tgk grup lain punye dish..mak aih mantap baq ang..


yang ni tema japanese food..sup dier seryes :L


group ni menang 2nd place uols


haaa ni menang 1st place...supervisor aku. memang tgk pon dah terliur kan..

kitorang? hahah. time food evaluation, judges komen masakan kitorang rasa seraii je dr nasik bawak ke air. nampak sgt x reti integrate. then he asked "selalu masak tak ni?" and there was this long, awkward pause. hahaha. but dier puji ikan kitorang woot~ and orang ramai yg rasa makanan kt meja kitorang puji nasi halia and air aku (x kire nak masukkan jugak. haha)

valuable, new experience i must say. need to improve my cooking skills in the future. therefore if you noticed..



yg part invent new recipe mmg x bole blah. haha

modern fairytales.

i was thinking..

..what if the fairytales were written on the 21st century?

1. Cinderella would be looking at her Swatch watch that shows 12 o'clock and instead of running away from the ball leaving her glass shoe..says


"heck..it's still early."


2. Hansel and Gretel would call 911 for the police or tweet their father instead of leaving breadcrumbs to go back home.

3. Rapunzel would get tired of her loooooong hair and decided to do cornrows. and color it pink since Katy Perry did it in recent music award.

4. Snow White wouldn't want to eat the apple that the witch give to her. After all, she got the new Apple iPhone 4s.

5. The princess in The Princess and the Pea would just get a massive king sized bed and ditch the old mattresses

6. It would be harder for the Queen to guess the name of Rumpelstiltskin since people now like to give strange names to their poor kids..for example....


...and yeah. that's his real name. lol.

7. Sleeping beauty....well...here's what I don't get about Sleeping Beauty. How does she stay hot and clean after all those years? I mean...wouldn't she be smelly and hairy like other normal people do when they sleep so long?
