Finally!!!!!!!

2009-05-27T22:47:00.002+08:00

Gosh. I'm back. At last.
How long has it been? 4 months, prolly.
I can't even remember the website address to start with.hahahaha.

HMMMM. Now where shall I start..

It's been a freaking tormenting, patience testing 4 months,which at 1 point I was close to going bonkers staring at the 4 walls at home.Took them that looooonngggg just to inform me of the status.
Alhamdullilah, the waiting game is over.
Got the answer, unexpectedly at noon today, and I'm heading in next week, 3rd june.
Trainee life all over again, only this time in blue.

The last 4 months was filled with lots of fruitful activities. Cleaning up the sanctuary. Sleeping late.Waking up even later. *grin*. Finishing my winning eleven season. Taking care of grandma.Learned to cook. Getting my lazy butt off the couch and into the gym. Running my lungs out. Spending time with family, friends and dear.

I wanna say thanks to all who was there encouraging me, supporting me, giving me advices, and just being there lending a listening ear.
Shafie, thanks man for supporting....Whooper dok on the way.
The rest, namely Maz,Karim,Lin.Thanks for always asking regarding the sitaution and praying.
To Alvin, for running with me to Sengkang, Buangkok, Hougang.You name it, we ran there before.
To Zaf, for spending the fridays praying with me walaupun once a year je ko gi masjid.haha
To Hidzir and Fahmie, for always asking and supporting.I won't be with you people for reservist.
To Nas and Vee for supporting and advicing me to go for this opportunity.
And last but not least to Dear who was there for me throughout the ordeal.Supporting and encouraging all the time.
To my fans, thanks for voting for me...without you people I won't be here...(Oooops salah show).
haha.

Twilight

2008-12-30T21:18:00.002+08:00

Twilight

The story start when Bella (Kristen Stewart) is send to live with her father after her mum re-married, in a little known area named Forks town.

This movie is unlike your ordinary vampire movie and also not your "10 things I hate about you" teenage romance movie either.

There are a few things that I realyy do like about this movie.

First,I like the whole love-hate relationship between the Bella and Edward Cullen(Robert Pattison).It feels sinisterly aweome the way the two play out the scenes.

Second, I love the locations that the movie was shot in. Really nice. Thumbs up for that.

Thirdly, some of the one - liner by Edward is awesomely funny, but yet it was done in such a sinister way.

Honestly, It's a good movie to just relax and chill with your love ones.

And since it's the festive season and if your friends wanna get you some booze.Just say" I'm on a special diet."

Yes Man

2008-12-20T11:31:00.003+08:00

Yes Man

Jim Carrey returns to the big screen as Carl Allen, a middle-aged guy who works at a bank as a loan officer and still upset at the reality that his girlfriend dumped him.

Basically, all he ever say for all opportunities that came his way, he said 'no'. That is until he went for a self-motivating session, reluctantly. Soon, his life starts changing for the better especially after meeting Allison played by Zooey Deschanel.

I would have to say that this movie is a fun-filled movie,let your hair down kinda thing. I love the scene where he saved a guy from jumping off a building through a guitar, inspiring a sing along session with the crowds.Now that's a cool way o be a hero.

There is 1 scene that kinda scary though, well not really scary as in scary, just disturbing.Well, it does brings in the laughter thouh but very disturbing.You have to watch it to see what I mean. A clue; Carl Allen and his neighbour, elderly woman that is.Go figure.

Overall a great movie for fun and laughter to watch with your pals.

You say no, you say no to life.

better times?

Hmm.. First of all, let me start by saying. I've FAILED my IPPT.

Honestly, I really wasn't aiming for anything for this.Probably it was just to gauge for myself o where I stand in terms of physical wise.At least I know, I still can run, still can jump, still can do situps but the only thing I can't do. Chin-up.Just short of 2 and 200 bucks just went out the window. I had fun on that day actually, did IPPT witth Fahmie and had quite a good laugh. Really miss my section, section 2.The good 'old days.

Secondly, Spurs' been on the rise since Rednapp took over.It's great seeing the team play with alot more confidence and honestly top half finish seems like a reality, despite Spurs being rooted at the bottom at the start of the season.Kudos to the lads!!!

Thirdly, was able to catch up with my coussies due to Raya Haji.Haha had quite a laughter with Nur's antics. We call her 'makcik kepo'.haha.The toddler is full of energy, running around the house, jumpin of sofas.I can't even contain her, wonder how her mum,(my aunt) takes care of her.And she has 3 young kids.1 is enough bu to take care of 3....haha.

This is when my mum asked her
"nice shoes Nur"

Her reply:"Of course"

Looks like everyone focusing on her.

Dear cut her hair, she reminds me of brittany murphy in that hairdo.Hmmm....

Quarantine

2008-12-04T21:11:00.003+08:00

Quarantine

Quarantine, a remake of spanish [rec], well I didnt catch the original movie so there really isn't much to compare, to start with.

The movie starts with Jennifer Carpenter playing as reporter ,Angela Vidal along with her cameraman, Scott are assigned to cover night shift with a pair of LA firemen.

A call from a downtown apartment filled the night after an uneventful start to the evening.On the location, they stumbled upon an old woman, in a nightgown covered in blood.Well, you guess it right, infestations of zombies.

The only good thing about the movie was the gore and yes the shoutings.

There's plenty of it.

The one thing that I don't like is the ending. It kinda hangs there withe Angela getting dragged by a zombie.I hate the ending , but if you're looking for a little thrill, then quarantine is a good watch.Or you might want to wait for the VCD release?? Better yet..download..?

Update

2008-11-16T08:37:00.002+08:00

Lately, I've met up a few of my old Serangoon lepak buddies. Namely, Zaf and Aif. Well, they're are still lepaking together, and they are involved in a drama production for Serangoon CC coming up at the end of the month. Come to think about it, what the hell are they doing in drama??

Alvin, another old lepak buddy have been asking me to play soccer. Yup, I've been itching for it too but seems like so hard to get the guys back for a game or two. Crap.Why is it so difficult for old lepak buddies to get together??It's so much easier back then when work was just a part-time thingy.Seems like work will always be in the way.

OK, to something serious.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD.
I have no idea or clue abou this disease but it is quite a common disease, in fact from the read up, it is the 6th common killer disease in the world.Well,to put in simple terms, this disease attacks the airways causing limited amount of air flowing to the lungs, causing shortness of breath.Like asthma, but worse.

And the scary part is, projected by year 2020, it will be the third leading cause of death, well due to large amount of population who smokes. Yup.The main cause for this is smoking.

I really do hope that everything will be alright, Insya allah. Guess we have to be strong going through this.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

2008-11-16T08:20:00.003+08:00

Madagascar:Escape 2 Africa

This movie is one of the funniest animation movies I've seen so far.

Kudos to the team for making

it just that.

The movie start off with the 4 escapees of central Park Zoo trying to make their

way back to the big apple via a rundown plane.

And yes, never trust the penguins.Well, they all crash landed in Africa and met up with their own kind and pretty much it was all havoc from there on.

What I really like about this movie is the ease of one liners being thrown out that will just crack up your laughter.

Not only does this movie's full of laughter, it does have a few messages in between.

It plays with so much of human emotion, like trust, friendship, family,love. Feelings that we all go through everyday of our life.

Overall a good movie to sink in and enjoy with the close ones. And yes, prepare for a good laugh.

Hmm..to the scene where the chimpanzees, MALE chimp that is, ...maternity leave...Hmmm.

A month's time

2008-11-06T14:30:00.003+08:00

Everything that starts will have to end 1 day.
In slightly a month's time, I'll be done with my current job as an IT support.When I first got this job, I told myself, "Im doing this for a year" but it went a bit longer than I expected.A year 3 months that is.

I know to quit at this point of time will be crazy to others, considering the fact that the world's gonna go to a recession, or maybe is going through, but hey i'm not like the others.
Through this job,I learnt alot about myself,self-discovery you might say. I know now that I certainly hate deskbound job.I know now that I hate to pick up calls. I hate to bloody lunch in.Imagine eating and working at the same time.
Certainly in the future, I won't be going for deskbound jobs.

To what am going to do after this, hmm...I do have a couple of plans at the back of my mind.
As of right now, the immediate plan is to have a part-time job,I do feel like going back to Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), where I used to work back when I was in Poly.But, come to think of it, I want to try something that I've never done before.So,I'll see where this is gonna lead me to.And at the same time, I really do wanna pursue photography.
I can't wait for 30th Nov.I'll be helping out as a photograper at dear's cousin's wedding.

And to what Im gonna do next year, I do hope to get back to studies.I've been contemplating on this for quite sometime.I do hope to get into psychology.Yup that's the plan so far. Back to studies.
And if I don't make it, now that's a different story.

Today maybe a bad day, but we always have tomorrows to make it right.

High School Musical 3

2008-11-01T22:11:00.004+08:00

High School Musical 3

This movie surpasses my expectations.Seriously, Im not much of a musical movie fan but this one is a good one, for a couple of reasons.I'll get to that later.

So the plot, the cast are in their senior year, well it means goodbye since everyone will be heading their own directions. The story focuses alot on proms,decisions on which university to go to and of course along the way,dances and songs.

One of the good reason to watch this movie for the ladies, yup Zac Efron (Troy bolton) and for the guys well, Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens).Hot alert!!!!

Apart from the eye candies, the movie has a good flow and yes good soundtracks.Something a litle bit edgier than the previuos instalments.

I kinda like the ending where the feature the 6 main cast, and having them taking the final bow before the curtain calls. That is a masterpiece.

Overall, a great movie for all sizes and age.

Ratings:3.5/5 stars.

Alright I have to shoot myself because of the late post.

yup, It was dear's birthday celebration last week and I only had time to update like today, a week later. And sorry for late uploading of pics.

I guess I let the pictures do the talking.

A little fun time

Tipsy pout

Too much fun

Happy 21st!!!!

Did I mention I went 24 hours without sleep?

Mr sun, please shine on me

Crazy as it is

2008-10-11T09:12:00.003+08:00

The last two days leading up to the weekend was great. Managed to catch a movie with dear. caught "The House Bunny"
And after the movie we were trying to outdo each other with the "so nice" line.
You gotta watch it to understand.

Alright I know it is crazy but I gotta talk about sharks. Yup. How many of you have any idea that female sharks can give birth without mating? I bet you didn't know. Well, neither did I.
All along I thought it was a myth until recently where some researchers found a female black tip shark givinng birth to a pup in 1 of the marine center back in the US. This is awesome. Seriously, this could be a start of a great discovery to find out more about one of the world's greatest animal.
Let's hope that just because sharks can give birth to a pup without mating doesn't means that it is a solution to the declining rate of sharks population in the wild.

Ok enough about sharks, now to my other interest. Spurs. Damn it. NO win yet for them. WHAT THE HELL!!!!!
Honestly, Juande Ramos got it all wrong. Players out of position, playing with 1 lone striker and making Jenas the captain.??? I don't get it.

True stars:
I think Woodgate should be captain. He's been there with Boro. He can lead, and sure hell 1 of the best defenders all around.
Gareth Bale has been outstanding in all the games he played, but how much can 1 player do to a team that is totally out of sorts. Bale is a gem and I seriously do think that he deserve so much better.
Jamie O'Hara, a very talented player but sadly Ramos always left him out on the bench.
Dos Santos, another great player who I think is the only person who can cause so much problem for the opposition, but sadly just like O'Hara, he's warming up the bench.

Flop:
Jenas.
Modric.
Gomes.
Bentley.
Bent.
Enough said.

I'm a frustrated Spurs' fan.

The House Bunny

2008-10-11T08:04:00.003+08:00

The House Bunny

Shelly (Anna Faris) has been living in the Playboy Mansion for 9 years. And after her 27th birthday she got evicted off the mansion. Reason for it. She's too old. yup 59 years in bunny years.

So off she goes into a world of unknown. She met up with a few incidents but the one that totally change her was when became a house mother for a very unpopular sorority on campus.

The girls in the sorority well let's say that they are kinda like outcast, never fit in.

And here comes Shelly who changed them, making them believe in themselves and soo they became the hottest and popular girls on campus.

Anna Faris returns with her usual comic stuff as Shelly, well if you look at her performance in popular franchise in "The Scary Movie", this role as a bunny really suits her. Her reactions and 1 liner never fail to crack up a laugh to the audience.

Supported by a very capable cast such as Kat Dennings who played as Mona, Emma Stone as Natalie and Colin Hanks as Shelly's love interest, Oliver this movie is so much more than just hot girls running around in skimpy outfit.A very good lesson of life can be taken from this movie. A lesson in believing in one's ability.

Overall, its a good movie to catch.

Well, it's been nice reviewing this movie. So nice.

Today marks my 1 year anniversary since returning back to normal people called civilian.
This day today at this very point of time I took back little miss pinkie a.k.a NRIC.

I can still remember the feelings of reuniting back with pinkie, me and my army buddies.
We can see the happiness written all over our faces, all ready to venture to a world of unknown ;the future.

Funny ,thinking about what was once thought of as a burden became something special, something amazing that will forever be cherish. I can't believe I'm saying it but I MISS my time in the Army.

To all Taurus 2, SISPEC 3 and especially to 1SIR PLT 2 Section 2(see u guys in reservist)

Make It Happen

2008-09-06T00:21:00.007+08:00

Make It Happen

Make it happen. A story about a young girl trying to make it big.

Lauren Kirk played by Mary Elizabeth, is a young, enthusiastic girl from Indiana who went to Chicago for an audition to pursue dance.However, the routine that she prepared for the audition wasn't as sensual or feminie enough for the judges who ruled her out.

Not wanting to go back to Indianna and lead a normal life, helping out her brother over at the family's garage, she lied to her brother, telling him she got the offer to attend the Chicago school for dance and music. She hooked up with A Ruby's dancer/ friend by the name of Dana played by Thana thompson and with luck on her side, she got a job at the local pub where she met, music director Russ played by Riley Smith.

Through this movie, Lauren finds out more about herself, she started to believe in her own abilities and with Russ encouragement, she went for the 2nd audition and this time she wows the judges.

This movie really is a good movie about self-discovery, self-motivation and for all budding dancers who wants to make it big. This is the movie to watch and sink yourself in.

It has great plot, great dialogue and great dance moves.

Well, plans may change, dreams never do.

First up, I had a really..I mean really good deal today.
I've been looking to save up for a laptop and dear searched the net to look for the best deals and she chanced upon singtel's website. Signing up for a broadband that comes a laptop with it. How cool is that?!!!!

So off we went to to AMK hub to sign up for it. Well, at least this subscription is cheaper than my current one. And i get a laptop.

Well, after the signing up, head over to watch Make It Happen.
It was an impromptu decision. Just thought it would be great since dear's a dancer and this is a movie about dance. See, how it all clicks?

K, I'm counting the days to my new LAPPY!!!!

Holidays!!!!

2008-09-05T00:12:00.004+08:00

Babies?

2008-08-28T16:36:00.003+08:00

Ok, this issue has been quite a debate for god knows how long and recently it just got a lot hotter.

Yup, I'm talking about the incentives that the government is giving to increase the birth rate here in Singapore. Ya surely, it sounds good having longer maternity leaves, longer family care leave and even the government is chipping in a few million for couples trying the IVF treatment.

But really, do we need such incentives?

Seriously, I do think that it all boils down to a matter of choice.

First, for the ladies getting pregnant means trading in slim figures, mini skirts or maxi dresses for diapers, waking up to loud,painful sharp cry and pushing the baby pram everywhere they go.

Given the career-oriented mindset of today's society, it's hard to actually trade a lifestyle of freedom for parenthood.

Second, the increasing cost of living here in S'pore. Well, it's crazy.

You have ERPs everywhere, maybe in years to come you might find ERP gantries right outside your doorstep, even public transport fares are increasing. Seriously, it's expensive here.

Wait ,then comes in babies which means more money being spend for the little ones like diapers (they poo alot) , milk powder, cute little shirts,shorts,shoes and etc.

With all the amount of money needed, this means parents work to pay off the bills.I do mean really BIG bills.

Thirdly, with increasing cost of living, we will work our butts off which will result in little or no time for the singles to mingle and the couples to cuddle.Everyone will be running around trying to clinch that million dollar contract, trying to earn that extra buck all in the expense of a chance in happily ever after.

It doesnt' really matter what is the incentive cause at the end of the day, it's all in a matter of choice.Do we want a life of freedom or a life tied down?

So what's your choice?

Dreadful?

2008-08-28T09:19:00.003+08:00

The English Premier League (EPL), yes it's back. Joy for the guys,well at least there's something to look forward to every weekend.

2 weeks into the new season and we've seen some exciting soccer and some shocker as well.
But my favorite, Tottenham Hotspurs lost their first 2 games.Not really the kind of start that we would've wished for, considering the amount of money spend during the transfer window.
Shades from last season? I don't think so.
I do strongly believe that Ramos is building a team for the future. Buying young talents like Dos Santos,Bentley,Modric and Spurs latest acquisition, Pavlyuchenko.
With the exception of Gomes, Woodgate, King, Gilberto and Cesar, Spurs lineup are relatively young,energetic and hungry for success.

It's too early to write them off, but I do think that this season will be a start of something exciting for Spurs and trust me in the next few seasons to come , they will be a force to reckon with and will be serious contenders for the title. Well for now, let's gel these players and develop them to be future world beaters.

My desired first 11 for spurs:
Gomes (GK)
Hutton(RB), Woodgate (CB),King(CB),Bale(LB)
Zokora(DM), Bentley (RM), Jenas(CM),Modric(AM),Dos Santos (LM)
Pavlyuchenko(FW)

Bench:Cesar(GK),Assou-Ekotto(D),Dawson(D),Gilberto(D),Gunter(D),Stalteri(D)
Huddlestone(M),Lennon(M),O'Hara(M)
Bent(FW)

And ya, sell that guy(Berbatov) if he wants to go off badly..

Oh ya..on non-'ball' issue.
Dear went for a perm..Hmm..Looks nice on her actually.
And Maz made her debut on TV.
Well at those who laughed at her, at least shes on TV. can u say the same?yeah.

So at first the guys were reluctant to sing... haha wad do u expect...but due to some bet that went awfully wrong we had to sing. Mr Karim was up first ,followed by Shafie A.K.A S Jibeng and then me.

About an hour to go, the guys left to play pool leaving the girls screaming their lungs out at that room.
After the whole event, the fireworks. It was awesome, but I was pretty much tired from taking photos of the fireworks.
See, i guess im their uncertified official cameraman for the clique..haha..

It's 6 and I'm still at work... Kinda bored..

Had to cover up for a colleague. so it's till 6.30 today..But it's ok, easy money ..haha..

Anyway I was browsing through some website and found these...Yes i did all of this while juggling through customers' requests and calls..

Can't be bothered.My tolerance level to "out of this world" request is depleting faster than you can say the word "crap"...yeah...that's how i feel.

Ya, like I said i saw some cool comic strips and I thought that it would be interesting and makes quite a good laugh after a busy day at work.

So here it goes. Enjoy.

Guess everyone around me is going though some hiccups in their lives right now, hope these strips cheer u guys up a bit.

The last 3 days of leave was AWESOME.

It felt nice..Really nice.

Reasons:

1- I do not have to wake up early just to catch that bus number 70 that takes forever to arrive once I missed the previous bus.

2-I do not need to rush into the office just so i can make it on time.

3-I do not have to listen to my team lead.

4-I do not have to listen to all of the customer's complaint and absurb requests.

5-I do not have to lunch in.

There.5 reasons that i really love my leave these 3 days.

It felt good to be able to wake up late, enjoy that nasi lemak without having to look at the time knowing that you will be late.It felt good to be able to drink milo while sitting down and listening to the news without having to drink it while on the go.

I also took advantage to get back my fitness level. Seriously, I need to buck up.IPPT's coming and gosh i don't think i can make it.

Running 2.4 in 10 mins was not an issue in the past but now....Gosh....I need to burn all the fats.

$400 bucks can make a lot of difference...
Well like they used to say it in the Army..."SOC si be chialat, IPPT lagi worse..."

So I woke up at 8.30 and basically I just stoned. It took like about 10 freaking minutes to get out of that.Head out to the living room and watched TV.I felt so lazy. And I had my breakfast. Yup.

No shower + No brushing of teeth + breakfast = unhygienic

Yup I know.But who cares. I'm so at my comfort zone.

So I lazed around till about 10 before I hit the shower. And then, went to Fairprice to buy 1 bottle of root beer and 1 bottle of milk.

Now this is the best part.I joined the q at 10.46 am. (yup, i took a glimpse at the time) and it took me freaking 8 minutes till it's my turn to pay for the items. FREAKING 8 minutes for 2 items.

And then I went over to the barbershop to have my hair cut. And there was 2 kids,prolly about 8 or 9 years approached me for direction.

This is the exact words that they said;

Boys: "Uncle,where's the nearest newspaper shop?"

Me: "Oh, adik jalan terus then belok kiri ade satu kedai jual newspaper."

They called me UNCLE!!!! UNCLE!!!!!

Not abang or brother.UNCLE!!!!

I feel so old. Kids....panggil lah senonoh sikit...abang ke..sedap dengar..Nie Uncle...

I told dear about this and she laughed. haha..suke ehk!! :)

And ya, it's August already?!!! So fast. National day right around the corner. Time flies so fast. Thought 2008 just started.

Yesterday, dear said I would look nice with a eye shadow and eye liner on. What the heck?! Eye shadow and eye liner....She wants put makeup on me.Dear said I have eyes tailored for eye shadow and eye liner...gasak la nak.haha

oh yes. I'm in love....

with photography.

Dear like photography too. But I do think she prefers to be the model more than being the photographer.HAHA!!! Thus we both decide to take up photography as a leisure.

Here's my first try at it.

Make mine a latte.

I'm out :)

I Need To Run.

Run My Lungs Out.

Here's something interesting.

1. look at the running pink dots. you will see a running pink dot.

2. look at the cross in the centre. you will see a running green dot.

3. if you stare along enough at the cross in the centre, all the pink dots will disappear.

Tottenham Hotspurs

It's been a busy pre season for Spurs as they sought out to better their dreadful finish last season.Having finish 5th in the previous 2 campaign, Spurs faltered just when the fans believe that breaking into the top 4 was possible.

With a new coach in the form of Juande Ramos,whose resume includes 2 UEFA Cup back to back with Sevilla.Ramos spearheaded Spurs into their 1st Major trophy after 9 years,winning the Carling Cup last season.With a new head coach comes new ways of management, Ramos brought with him Gustavo Poyet, a former player for Spurs back in the late 90's. as his assistant.

Exit Door

Looking ahead for the challenge next season, Ramos have offloaded several players in order to make ways and changes to the current LilyWhites squad.

Steed Malbranque, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Younes Kaboul, Paul Robinson, Lee Yung Pyo have been linked witha move away from the Lane. But the most that will have the dire effect will be the departure of Talismanic Robbie Keane.

Keane moved to Liverpool on a 20.3 millon pound fee. Influential on and off the pitch, with superb technical ability to control the game and finding the back of the net, Spurs will have a large hole to fill the gap left by Keane.

After 6 years at the Lane, Keane and Spurs waved their goodbye.

All Aboard

With departures, along comes the new blood. Spurs have been busy this summer on the transfer market.

Spurs 1st signing, Luka Modric joins the LilyWhites from Dinamo Zagreb. Having performed well for his country in the recently concluded Euro 2008, Modric will certaintly add the strength to the midfield as well as bringing along a new form of creativity.

Promising midfielder, John Bostock joins from Crystal Palace. At just 16, John has future written all over him. With youth on his side, Ramos will definitely give John time to develop his game at his own pace.

Giovanni Dos Santos soon followed, joining the ranks of new acquisition at White Hart Lane. Speedy and full of trickery at his disposal, Giovanni is able to operate as a support stiker or as a attacking midfielder. At only 19 and under the right guidance, Giovanni will play a major part for Spurs in time to come.

With the departure of Robinson, Spurs are in need of a safe pair of hands in between the pole. Having won 4 championship with Eindhoven,Gomes will very much add to the shot stopping saves that Spurs have been missing these few seasons.

Just days ago, David Bentley signs for Spurs from Blackburn. At 23, the capable winger who is capable of playing at both flanks providing the much needed pace for those areas.With speed and abundant amount of energy with him, entley will definiely be force to be reckon with in time to come.

Ramos with new signing David Bentley

Verdict: An exciting season ahead for the LilyWhites

The Dark knight

THE DARK KNIGHT

This Movie is in the running to be THE Movie Of The Year. With great cast and storyline, The Dark Knight never fails to suspense with its intense script, twisted turn of events and great background music. Christan Bale once again donned the black suit as the cape crusader and my did he deliver. His potrayal as Batman is convincing as the dark superhero that everyone blames for the death of the good people in Gotham City. The suit was awesome, it look so sleek and cool for a hero.

Harvey Dent played By Aaron Eckhart,a district attorney out to free the city of Gotham from any crimes and mobs. However,due a turn of event/accident, he became the bad guy. And honestly, the good guy turns bad plot is amazing. And for 1 simpe reason. LOVE. And that two face effect on him was as gruesome as it is as good.

The one that stole the whole show, the late Heath Ledger as The Joker. Great portrayal of 1 of the most iconic villains ever. The rugged and scruffy makeup on the joker just tells you just how tormented this character is. And boy, Heath hits the bulls eye with this one. He played the character the way it should be; sick,twisted, thirst for blood...And with the Joker being his last role, he left with a BANG.

Overall, a great movie from start till end, never fails to keep you on the edge of the seat.

Then again...Why So SERIOUS?

Ratings: 5/5

It was great meeting the old boys back. Met ip with Hidzir and headed to Fahmi's house before heading to camp.It was all laugh and fun and lots of cathcing up was done..Not that we don't update each other..We do, only through MSN,text and phone calls but meeting and seeing everyone upclose was a blast.We kinda joke around way more than listening to the briefing..
And the best of all, I'm still gonna lead my own section!!!! Best!!!
We went through hell together for 1 year 3 months,all the exercises and outfield , i can't see myself leading a different set of guys.So the feeling is AWESOME.

And ya,we crap and talked bout stuff in army and all the crazy things we did.Brings lots of GREAT memories. Honestly, I miss my army days,especially during the BMT phase of my life.

And looking at Tom's busy schedule , i guess being your own boss is not that easy, you got to wake up early,think of the money to pay the workers,suppliers and there's tons of bills to pay to maintain the shop.Hmm, it was scary looking at him work. Hope he will flourish in this business of his. And the fishball noodle is good!! I can testify to that.
