oooooooooohhhhhhhh...

no wonder la i thought mcm terberenti smcm je when i watched the golden compass. then when i read the book, ei, byk je chapter diorg xcover dlm movie. n then when i googled it, i found this, the missing ending from the movie!:



btl la what ppl commented, the producer cut the story short sbb in the book, lord asriel killed lyra's best friend! maybe she reckons she won't make much money if she follows the book. nak untung pnye pasal, cerita pun jadi pelik.

hmmm. apa nak jadi..

i'd rather not talk about why i missed two weddings today. instead i'll juz pen in about the last book i read.

juz finished on the subtle knife, only 60 pages through the final book, the amber spyglass. the second book tu kelam kabut laaa. ada byk new character introduced in the second book, dr mary, will, stanislaus grumman (tp mati at the end of the book). there's one review yg said as what i thought: the second book suffers as the middle part of the story, being a wee bit boring as the author bring in a lot of little little things to justify the climax he'll throw into the finale.

i hope the second movie doesn't suffer like the book.

which reminds me of when i read LOTR versus when i watch LOTR. the middle part of the novel mmg dah starting to bore me, juz a lot of walking n climbing n ducking n whatsoever. tp the movie, i loved the second one the most!

mintak2 la the same will happen with the second movie.

aku ke yg lambat?

huk aloh.. aku sorg je ke yg tak tau si lord asriel tu gila?

juz finished reading the golden compass n halfway thru the second book, the subtle knife. lambat gila nak abes the first book. movie dah siap kuar dah lapok dah pun, aku baru sebok nak baca.

but then, better late than never.

nasib baik aku baca. the plot in the novel mmg lari dari movie, ouh i think it shud b the other way around, the movie plot lari dari novel. different chrcter potrayal of lord asriel, different kind of journey, different reason why iorek bernison was in exile. all different lah.

hmm...
dat's y la they said adapted, not copied from the novel kan kan.

tp it was good (as usual, with novels when turned into movies (except 2nd narnia movie)). it tells more about each character that the movie failed to capture. tp kan when i read the ending of the first book, i wonder how the movie sequel, due to release 2009, nak tally dgn the second book sbb, dah lari la cerita dia!

suspen suspen!

makan time again!

was back from the curve's italiannies to celebrate mr. zeffirelli ibrahim's birthday. told u, these few weeks i was out n its all about eating! man, i'm (my butt more likely) stuffed!

the menu

the birthday boy

me n farina with my favourite creme brulee

the birthday cake.. err.. what's left of it, among other stuff we ate..

oh, i'm waiting for farina to upload the male version of paris (or perez more apt?) hilton in her series of piccies in her blog. cepat! nak tgk nih! :)

aku dok baca comments ppl left at patrick teoh's blog when i came upon a link to this video.

gila! cne la xperasan padahal dah tgk berjuta kali citer nih!

clearer vision... yeay!

ouh, lupa nak crita... i've told u guys how the absence of my glasses has made me go crazy (or blind is more apt?) dah dapat dah.. yeay!

tp hampes btl si kedai focus point tuh. janji 2 minggu je, after 4 dem wks baru nak tepon aku ckp dah siap. juz when i started to get used to using only contact lenses... haaaaiiisshh..

doesn't matter. yg penting dah dapat, n FOC. seb baik under warranty lagi. kalo x mmg nak kena la si focus point tuh aku pangkah cukup2.

although i'm more inclined to use my contacts now (can't stand the chanting by my colleague, "haha.. anis dah nmpak tua balik".. tertekan siot!) at least i don't have to sit juz one foot apart from the tv when i wanna watch it these days.

bila la nk blh bt lasik nihhhh? xyah pakai anything dah. blh la nmpak muda sllu.

BERANGAN LA!

spoilers ahead!!

bila cik abg ajak aku tgk 21 last sunday nite, i was like, citer aper tuh? xpenah dgr pooonnn... dia ckp citer tu pasal judi. ok fine, kitorg pun tgk (nih kes download citer la nih). rupanya xtayang kat mesia... dia dh tayang mac aritu lagi dah.. pastu fly fm baru sibuk pasal movie tuh pagi td sbb baru nak kuar dvd nye kt sini 22nd july. kihkihkih.. aku dah tgk!

overall the story was not bad la. strong cast, kevin spacey, laurence fishbourne, got kate bosworth oso. the main chrcter sgt cute! jim sturgess, surprisingly dah lama berlakon rupanya.. cek xtau.. cne blh xprsn actor comel cmni dah lama berlakon. kihkihkih.. tapi juz a year older ok!

but anyway, the story's about 6 MIT students trained to count cards to rake in millions of money in vegas. this is actually based on a true story tau.. sape yg train? kevin spacey as their lecturer. when the clan try to lure ben (jim sturgess) into their secret club, he was assured that its very safe, yadayadayada.. what he didnt know that mikey(kev.spacey) had a long history in vegas with the card-counting-hunter (laurence fishbourne) n one of the clanmember mmg penah kene bantai dah la dgn mamat tuh. dia pun dgn happy nye join the club.. n took in lotsnlotsnlots of money. i was like, waaahhh... terernyeeee.. kagum seh..

kesimpulannya, kalo korg2 nak tgk lelaki yg sgt comel dan sgt bijak, tgk la citer nih.. hehehe.. n oh better catch that other boleyn girl nnti because he'll be in it too! enjoy (cuci mata)! ;)
