What would you have done if you were her?

This is a long overdue book and book-turned-movie review. So behold.

I bought My Sister's Keeper on the same day I bought this book. You know what it is? I thought the words 'Keeper' must have brought us together so why wait? Plus at that time I was in the mood for heavy stuff reading so I'd spare the bucks on tears I'll be having. AS IF. Turned out it was worth having bought those two books nevertheless.

And....... enough rambling.

My Sister's Keeper is about a thirteen-year-old girl named Anna who is suing her parents for the medical emancipation to her body after becoming tired of being her older sister Kate's medical donor and then hires a lawyer to help her do so. Honestly I told you before that it is the first book to have made me cried reading and I'm afraid I'm gonna say that over and over again. Bite me.

The book is told in different perspectives so that you can see the different sides in the situation. Like, when you finally reach the end of the book and you'd be surprised on how intriguing the spin-off is, why is that Sara Fitzgerald (the mother) does that, why is Jesse as rebellious as that and which is which. It occurs to me that I have to say off with your heads on Anna's character and how a thirteen-year-old girl would have the guts to face her parents in such a way. I don't know if she were me. :P

Speaking of, comes the movie. Good movie. I love it! It won me over. There's this scene when Anna gets the table and she tells all of them why is that she sues the parents in the first place and that's when we know she's rooting for an emancipation. She wants to be in charge of her own body. And in the court scene the the truth prevails that Kate is the mastermind behind this crap and all. The cat is let out of the bag. Love the scene most.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or woman. Or girl. Whatever.

If you watch the movie, it's predictable a little bit. You'd have wanted that spin-off to have been applied there. As though some other characters to be in it too. It could have been more epic if the ending is just like in the book. I mean, we know you can't really put the whole book into an hour or so movie so thus explains. It's an adaption of a book after all. In so many words, it isn't loosely based on the book itself. You can't dwell on things that could have and should have been.

But I digress.

The movie manages to bring the book to life. I cried so many times. And in case you're wondering how my face would look like when I'm crying, you better don't. This heart never lies. :P

Go download and watch the movie you freaks. And start reading the book for God's sake! :P

p/s - For some reason Blogger is so stupid I could not upload any photo. Thanks Blogger.

Doing goodness knows what..

Is something you pardon your enthusiasm and joining the Pesta Tarian Cuti-Cuti 1 Malaysia!! *insert enthusiastic voice here*

And it felt quite good to have gathered around with them. Or not. Talk about the other group of peope imposing at ours if you know what I mean.

At dance room. some particular people call it studio. Hah!

The big fat yours truly damn it!

What happened when you were bored waiting for that those ladies giving speech

Yayyyyyyyy we made it! LOL

Sarcasm never looked so good though.

But it was fun really! That day. Malaysian Book of Records, you freaks. Glad I was a part of it. How do you like them apples? Told you so. :P

Pictures courtesy of people tagging me on Facebook. Thanks. (One benifit of having Facebook, much much more to go) LOL

More than meets the eye

Hi! How are tricks?

Been under the radar, you freaks. Except when I'm updating Facebook and Twitter, so in that case you're happy now little stalkers? :P You bet my ass you are. LOL kidding.

The other day I was in Perak and KL, doing goodness knows what while two days ago I was in Johore for my cousin's wedding. That was when I borrowed her brother's laptop, who is my age and went online for little while before getting my ass back to work. The joy you get of having two other cousins your age. I mean, we bonded.

Speaking of which, my cousin saw me checking out my facebook account the other day. And immediately asked me my email to be added into his friends list. I was like, 'No way!'. And that came out out of nowhere. Rest assured. And he asked 'Why?' and the the whole protecting myself over that little thing conversation went.

I mean it isn't much a big deal is it? Or it is not? Because the last thing I want is for my siblings or relatives not to know what I am up to. Don't get me wrong. Of course I want them to know how I am doing and all but it's just that, when my ass is down here on Facebook, I could be bitcy sometimes. My friends are :P . I mean, the litle conversations we have are 'minor' and underage and that is none of their business with all due respect. No offense though guys.

I don't even add my big brother and sister up in Facebook. I just don't. Let alone my cousins. I mean, let alone TOTAL STRANGERS. Who do they think they are? Do they think using that so-called names make them cool? Cool my ass. Much to an embarrassment.

Plus, facebook is full of craps. Either you benefit it to the fullest or just play stupid game that makes you hooked and wouldn't want to leave it besides eating or going to sleep. And facebook is for you to let it out and curse around if you don't have a blog. Crap is it not? Is it not?

As crap as people can be when they send you text message I got just know that sounds like, '2010 coming your way bla bla bla Send this to 10 people or 2010 will be your worst year ever'. Like, does that even make sense? Even if you have much credit, spare it to yourself. I don't need it.

And for what it's worth, I'd like to keep it that way. Or when the time comes I'd have the guts to do so. Adding my relatives into my friends list. See? Even little thing like this makes my head spinning thinking. It is more than meets the eye.

I don't know about you though. I mean it's not you it's me. I'm cocky that way aren't I? :P

Why isn't your heart in it?

I don't know what should I say towards this people. I mean, I'd rather should not, but it's getting on my nerves by days. How do you deal with it?

They say they have their tails up but judging from how they act daily, it's the other way around. I can tell that. I know they are good people and all, but you don't take everything as a joke do you? You say you are grown-up people but if you still behave like that, you're still green. I mean, for God's sake you're already 20 and counting, so please act like one.

They're in a fog. I'm not even kidding.

I may be a part of them but I only do that if there's something important I must know. Like important announcements (hah!) and all. I'm stuck.

Of course if you don't get all above means this is not right to your face. If you'll pardon my French.

On a totally unrelated note, if you haven't watched Gossip Girl Season 3 Episode 11, you really should because there's this scene on the dinner table when they were having Thanksgiving dinner, and everything just ruined it when all hell broke loose.

Accompanied by this song. Call me shallow

Empty vessels make the most noise :P

Some people may think that those who blog may not talk that much in real life. Meaning he/she would rather be taking a crap on their little blogs. Is it? I can't really tell. It's each to their own they say.

To me, you blog when you feel like one. You blog when you want to write something that you feel others should know about it. Be it anything. I mean, it would not have been called a blog if you make your blog private. If so, you grab a damn diary and start writing! That's when you bare your heart.

You don't blog because you think that it's of the essence. Like one day when you don't update your blog and you feel like something's missing, your readers may not be that keen anymore into your blog. Really? I know that inside income you're making from your little corner on the web are from your readers but really, like that? What's your all-important purpose of writing a blog in the first place? Anyone?

And then there's this people who come from goodness knows from and start dropping by just by clicking some advertisements and asking back to click theirs. I mean, really that rude? Couldn't they have been more bounderish? :P Is that their intention of blogging? Come on.

No offense (none taken I hope) to anyone but that's just my two cents. I think we can do better.

Peace no war.

Cuti-cuti '1 Malaysia'

This might sound silly but right now, I'm in the bus heading to Sban. There are three begs with me so excuse me for not taking the train. I couldn't bear.

I just got back from the (so-called) Pesta Tarian Cuti-Cuti 1 Malaysia. It was fun though. Pictures later.

Anyways, everytime when I'm taking bus from anywhere I'm about to go, there's always this issue between the passengers and the conductor, or even driver. Make it the time stated in the ticket they promised the will be leaving but turned out, all bark no bite. At least that's what I've been facing. Snap!

I don't bother trying to complain about it in the driver's face (I'd rather keep it to myself and write it down here, duh) but there's this one Malay lady complaining why the hell they don't move yet. Plus, they even fight about the bus conductor not returning the ticket back. While there's this one Chinese uncle whose that bus driver getting on his nerve complaining about it too.Like, are you kidding me? One hour late really? They promised earlier though.

Nevertheless poor this Indian uncle though for having to take the blame. Because he is the bus driver, that is.

We all know time constraint (is it?) has always been the most annoying problem Malaysians are having but it's also a norm for buses to depart a bit later than scheduled. Right? Maybe waiting for others. I don't know.

1 Malaysia much? I'm just saying...

'Making a mountain out of a molehill'

Hello.

Not that you care but I'm still alive and kicking. Just look at the sidebar, to the right. I just watched 2009 Teen Choice Awards (happening months ago) where Ellen Degeneres won Choice Twit award thus the idea. Of course you're no getting what the hell I am talking about if you are not a teen. Hah

I am fine and dandy. Holidays are still on its first phase where there's nothing much to do about it. Being a couch potato likewise, that is. So I thought heck why don't I join them 'tripping the light fantastic toe' like I rarely did? So with result to going back to UTP again. That's okay. It didn't even take a week. I have many many many more days for the holidays.

I mean, I don't bother joining events during semester break because I'm afraid I would have less days home. Okay, make it that's my Achilles' hee when it comes to holidays. l was a crybaby. For once, call me that. LOL. But now it's okay.

I'm reading Man and Boy now thus explains. Review later. It's all Greek to you no? :P. Go figure.

Okay, here's probably better, you freaks.

If you are a Malaysian and proud to be one, come join Tarian Cuti-Cuti 1 Malaysia happening tomorrow! Show your enthusiasm!! (One way of exercising and getting rid of all those fats, too)

Actually, that's all I wanna say. Thank you very much.

And I'm thankful for the blessings

Hello world.

(For the record, this post is entitled to where it should have been)

So Eid Adha had been great (with the food and everything) as usual. This year my family kind of didn't do the 'korban' thingy like we did. No idea why, next year perhaps. Raya went on with first thing first Eid Adha prayers in the morning, visiting our relatives' graves and all. Didn't go balik kampung this year. We don't really celeberate Eid Adha as fab as Eid Fitri don't we? :P

I think the biggest sacrifice I've ever done in my life is....... none. (Pun intended) Okay maybe there is something I may have done that's considered as a sacrifce to myself, but for some reason it is not worth mentioning here. :P

I'm thankful (by far) for everything in my life. I'm thankful for having such a family like mine, who's beside me wherenever I'm down.Though sometimes they are being too overprotective over me. But it's okay,since you know. I'm thankful for being surrounded by such friends whose heads are just like mine, and that's the reason why we get along so famously. Friends forver, you guys.

But there's one thing that I'm not thankful of though. Celcom coverage in my area. It sucks big time!!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I need more time to figure out which part in my house has the best coverage because my room has not! No spine. Grrrrrr :(

Happy belated Thanksgiving! Can ah? LOL

Counting days to go back to Tronoh. :P

Pleaseeeeeeeeeee celebrate me home

It's freaking 4 am in the morning and I'm still up, packing everything home. Actually I just got back from our annual outing, celebrating the end of the semester and of course, that bloody exams.

Minus the fact that there were only four of us but still fun nonetheless. Others have gone back earlier since they've finished their exams first, so you bet why we are stuck still. Watched a midnight movie, ate that infamous prosperous burger, loitered around and everything. Fun!

So today I had the last paper for this semester,after nine days gap. Yes, I have stress that over and over again, the fact that the last paper that these geniuses arranged for us is 2 credit hour subject. Like, seriously?

I mean you could have done brought either one of the 4 credit hour subjects to the latter but nope you didn't. So screw you. I'm not saying the 2 credit hour subject is the easiest, I'm still not getting the joke you poked upon us. So go figure.

I seriously am gonna rock their socks off this semester. If you get that sarcasm, that is. If I were to have my lunch handed to anyone else (God forbid!), I'd point my finger towards them. No joke. But come to think of it, it wasn't really their fault. It's the H1N1 one week leave that makes us miserable. So basically it's the H1N1 phenomenon itself. I mean, none of this would have happened if it wasn't for it, so again, screw H1N1.

Geez yours truly, get a grip.

I was going to talk about holiday actually but you know being me, everything is just mixed up. So there, my new semester would be commencing on 25th January 2010 and that's like, a solid 2 months holiday right? Watch out lazy bum, I'm becoming you. And InsyaAllah, if everything's going to work just fine as I have been hoping, hello third year!!

Hit and miss I hope not. Pray hard.

I still haven't finished packing yet. That's why I'm mumbling here. My Abah would be fetching me in a few hours' time so I'd better hurry. Yes yes same old song. What a spoiled brat I am, so what? None of this concerns you.

Sorry for that. I just happened to have bumped into this picture in my handphone.

Gross, right?

I mean, whatever happened to washing the dishes right away housemates? Why isn't your heart in it? lol. Boys will be boys my ass.

Happy holiday housemates! Miss me not. LOL
