It has been slow lately~

I have been lazy in posting new post for this blog and because of that, I am so sorry! I will try to get a new post uploaded as soon as possible.

And as a token of my apology, here's a picture of a "handsome" cat that has been lingering around in my neighbourhood lately. It's not related to anything really but I thought I'd shared the picture with you because he is just so gorgeous!💕

I will be back with new posts soon.

Salam Aidilfitri 1435!

It's Eid ul-Fitr today, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish Eid Mubarak to all Muslims. May all our deeds that we did in Ramadhan would be accepted by God and may we all have a blessing year ahead of us.

And for non-Muslims in countries that observe this festive season as national holiday, happy holidays to you! Go visit your Muslims friends and let us celebrate together and tighten the bond between us.

Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum! (which means "May God accept from us and you our fasts and deeds").

Salam Ramadhan 1435!

Happy fasting to all Muslims! It's Ramadhan again and it's time to multiple our effort in giving our hearts and souls to the God Almighty. May all your hard work and dedication in this holy month will be rewarded by Allah. Have a blessing month everyone!

Pray for Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane MH370

After two weeks now, we have still no clue on the whereabouts of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 which was bound to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. My heart and prayers go to all the crew members and passengers who are still lost, and to all the family members of the victims, all I could hope for is for them to be strong and to keep on praying. It is easy to play the blaming games in this hard and challenging situation but it will do no good to anyone. Instead I think it is important to be positive and keep the negative energy away from you as it would only consumed you in sadness.

Believe that the authorities are doing all they can to find this plane and pray for the best. May Allah help us all. Amin.

Salam Ramadhan 1434!

Time flies and it's that time of the year again for Muslims to have their one month fasting in Ramadhan. Salam Ramadhan to all Muslims! I wish this holy month would treat you well and will give you all the energy to do your prayers, fasting, charity or any activities for Allah's blessings. And for those non-Muslims who are travelling especially to my home country Malaysia, this would be the perfect month to try all the local delicacies that's available. There's plenty to try, I guarantee you that. Have a blessing month everyone!

Beyond the Trailer ~ Exciting YouTube channel

I seldom watch channels on YouTube, but early 2012, I found this great channel called Beyond the Trailer. Created, produced, written and hosted by Grace Randolph, it featured a lot of great stuffs about movies.

The episodes were divided into several categories. On Monday, usually they have Movie Math where the box-office performances are analyze. Then on other days they have Movie Bytes where movie news are discussed. While Friday usually they will have Movie Review either by Audience Reaction or by the BTT (Beyond The Trailer) Crew, although review by the crew are rarely done. Other than that, they also have latest movie trailer with Trailer Review right after the trailer, interviews and special episodes like interview with screenwriter on how to make a good screenplay.

I like the show a lot because unlike the entertainment news I usually watch on TV, Beyond The Trailer is less on the glamour and more on the art and business aspect of making movies. The show is very informative and educational, and takes viewers into the gritty world of movie business in Hollywood.

You can try and check out the channel by clicking here. I hope you will find it very useful and entertaining like I did. Enjoy!

Salam Aidilfitri to all Muslims!!!

I want to wish Happy Eid ul-Fitr to all Muslims all around the world. After a month of fasting in Ramadhan, it's time to enjoy and celebrate all our hard work. It is also the time for us to show our unity and celebrate the festivity as one big family.

For those of you who are not familiar with the celebration, let me fill you in with some explanation. Eid ul-Fitr (also known as several other names in other parts of the world) is a Muslim celebration that marks the end of Ramadhan (in which the Muslims go through a fasting month). The first day of Eid ul-Fitr, which is on 1st Shawwal, Muslims will perform a 2-raka'ah prayer. There are several ways Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated  in different part of the world, but in Malaysia, people usually will go to their hometowns and ask for forgiveness from their parents, and celebrate the festivity together with family, relatives and friends. Different kind of foods are served and family and friends gather around, catching up with each other. People will also go to the cemetery to pay respect to their families and relatives who had past away and do some prayers. Kids are the one who usually have a blast celebrating as they will receive "duit raya" (gifts in form of money) from their elders.

But, with all the joy and excitement in celebrating the festivity, it is important for us to also remember those who are less fortunate than us. Remember that they are others that faced injustice and difficulties in their lives in other parts of the world. Let us all pray to Allah and hope for a brighter future for all people around the world. Amin.

Happy Aidilfitri everyone!

Salam Ramadhan 1433

We are in the midst of the holy month of Ramadhan, so to all Muslims in the world, I wish you all Salam Ramadhan. May Allah give us all strength to go through the fasting month and hopefully we can reflect ourselves to become a better person. It is a great month for us to be closer to Allah; do Tarawih prayers, recite Al-Quran more often, give sincere donation and do good to other people. And don't forget to pay Zakat. I pray us all success in whatever we do in this sacred month and hopefully we will become a better Muslim / Muslimah. Amin.

To those of you who don't know, Ramadhan is the ninth month and the holy month in the Islamic Calender. In this month, Muslims all around the world will fast during the day (from dawn until sunset), do Tarawih prayers during the night, and pay Zakat (a sort of charity to the poor and less-fortunate). Muslims are also urged to recite the Al-Quran more often, give Sadaqa or donation to those who needed (poor people, homeless people, etc) and refrain themselves from doing anything sinful (like talking bad about other people behind their back or being rude to other people). It is the month for Muslims to learn self-control and discipline themselves to become a better person.

So, again to all Muslims, Salam Ramadhan!

Final Destination film series ~ Best Awards

I love the Final Destination (FD) movie series, and I had watched all 5 of them, although not all at the movie theaters.

To (somewhat) celebrate the success of the series, here are the awards I came out with for the movies. It's just for fun, and also for my own entertainment. LOL. Hope you enjoy this (fake) award show! :-)
BTW, this post include spoilers for all FD movies in the series.Just some precaution for those who didn't watch the movies yet.

And here are the winners for FD Best Awards!!!


Best Opening Disaster Sequence

Final Destination 2 - Highway Car Crash

Very well orchestrated and pretty damn scary / nasty too. You got heavy logs rolling, cars smashing and people screaming. In real life, car accidents would happen in a blink of an eye and before you know it, people got hurt. But in this movie, the accidents seem to keep going on and on and on. Its scary to watch but at the same time have all the entertainment value that it need to be one of the best opening disaster scene in the series.

Best Ending Disaster Sequence

Final Destination 3 - Train Derailed

I love the ending to this movie. It's kind of ambiguous and you could not tell whether they make out the train alive or not...although I doubt they did. It all started out innocent enough when suddenly the 3 remaining 'survivors' met in a subway train, then all hell break loose. It's cool that the filmmaker toyed with the audience about the fate of the survivors so that we kind of hoping that they did make it out alive. At least I was hoping for that. But like I said, I had my doubts....

Best Lead Character

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Wendy Christensen (Final Destination 3)

This award is for to the main character who first received the premonition. I was torn between Devon Sawa (from FD1) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Although Devon Sawa was more believable and portray an emotional character which I love, I still have to pick Mary Elizabeth Winstead because...I guess I just love her character more. She's an incredible actress and an even more great scream queen of this generation.

Best SupportingCharacter

Ali Larter as Clear Rivers (Final Destination 1 & 2)

This award refer to all the other characters other than the main character who received the vision. Some of the best characters in my opinion include Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) from FD5 and Kat Jennings (Keegan Connor Tracy) from FD2. But Clear Rivers is no doubt my favourite character from all the entire film series thus far. She's very quiet and somewhat timid in the 1st movie but turned to become more of a brave and gutsy character in the 2nd movie. I love her character more when she was timid and a little reserved but the fact that she had survived the horrific ordeal in the 1st movie and returned in 2nd makes me love her character even more. She's a fighter! I was also delighted when the character's name was briefly featured in the 4th movie.

Best Looking Couple

Bobby Campo & Shantel VanSanten as Nick O'Bannon & Lori Milligan (The Final Destination @ FD4)

Well, a lot of people might disagree with me but I honestly believe they are the best looking main couple in the movie series. They complement each other and have great chemistry on screen.

Best Individual Death Scene

Hanged in bathtub - Tod Waggner (portrayed by Chad Donella, Final Destination)

This award is very, I mean VERY, difficult to pick. I have numerous scary death scenes to choose from and I found that the death scene for Tod Waggner from the 1st movie is by far my favourite from all the movies. What separate this scene from all the other gory scenes is that it featured a slow and painful death compared to a lot of other death scenes which are quick and gory (crushed by a glass pane, crushed by two iron weights, ran over by a vehicle, smashed by a stray wrench, etc.). It was so hard watching the scene as you could almost feel that you were suffocating too. It's scary, tragic, sad and excruciatingly painful to watch. Personally, this is by far the scariest of them all.

Most Suspense Death Scene

Gymnastic practice went wrong - Candice Hooper (portrayed by Ellen Wroe, Final Destination 5)

Okay, so this awesome death scene didn't won the Best Individual Death Scene Award, but it is certainly the most suspenseful of all. The characters, of course, didn't fully aware of what was going on around them but the audience were left clutching to their seats as we wait for the 'death' to occur. Will she be crushed by the giant fan falling from the ceiling? Or will she step on a nail and fall off? Electrocuted??? What? What will happen to her?!?! The laser eye surgery was another cool death scene from FD5 but this one definitely deserves the award.

Best Overall Story

Final Destination

It's the movie that starts it all. Clever plot, amazing group of casts, dark and creepy atmosphere in the film and horrifying death scenes, need I say more?

And with that last award, we shall end our show here. I hope you enjoy this small show that I prepared and please support the FD movie series as I personally think it is a great franchise. For those who haven't watch the movies, better watch them now. Happy viewing!

Sexy time!

Okay, my post today is out of the ordinary. It's about underwear, men's underwear to be exact.

The other day I bought myself a Skinxwear ultra low trunk. That was my 2nd time buying Skinxwear brand because I found it to be comfortable and rather alluring. But it was my 1st time buying a trunk. Well, to be honest, I'm not really know how to differentiate the different styles of men's underwear, except for those obvious ones of course. It says there on the box that it was a trunk, so that's how I know. I thought it's a boxer brief. Are they the same?

The one I bought was, for me, extremely satisfying. It's 90% nylon, 10% spandex and super comfortable. I was happy with my purchase. I tried to find about the brand but the search results on the web were kind of minimal. I'm not even sure where it was manufactured at. Kind of surprising because it looks like a well-established brand.

I'm definitely going to buy this brand again in the future. For those guys who are reading this, I recommend that you try it too, if you haven't already. And for those girls who are reading this, you should buy it as a present to your father/husband/brother/boyfriend/etc. It's comfy and sexy. Got to have it!

Poor vocabulary.

I was reading back my review of Iron Man 2 and I realized I used the word 'entertaining' about 6 times (!!!). I really need to work on my vocabulary. I'm pretty poor in that area...among other things that I poor of. Sad but true. LOL.
