I'm pretty sure frequent movie goers would have seen this posters in various cinemas nationwide which stated showing Nov but have yet to see it in screen, yet already hear the buzz all over the US about it. Yes, it's "the social network", based-on-true-story of the most popular sites in most of our daily life, facebook!
While some of my friends has seen it online, there's various media sponsors starting giving invitation for special screening since Sunday. So yesterday, thanks to ShaolinTiger, Niki Cheong & Nuffnang, I got passes to the special screening in Mid Valley yesterday!
This movie starring Jesse Eisenberg who play the role of Mark Zuckerberg, also the founder of facebook. While the all so very cute Andrew Garfield plays the role of Eduardo Saverin, supposedly the best friend of Mark.
And so while the rest of the world (guys especially) are curious & want to search for the mystical Erica Albright (well, I actually overheard some guys while waiting outside the washroom that they also wanna facebook out Mark's ex), I'm more interested in knowing how the actual founders of facebook look like...
The verdict: they look really... "Harvard" after all.. LOL
How actually is the movie? I would say it's a VERY INTERESTING movie, almost great, to see the origin of facebook (though not sure how accurate is the truth) and the conflict behind it (and ass-like people) . For brotherhood, or dream, or simply business?
Well, for those whom are not of virtual world, internet & facebook... (like my dad?) Probably it's not the best choice but for the rest *thumbs up*

感觉最近有点像小孩，很想要抱抱。
大大的熊抱、呵护的拥抱、那感觉像回到妈妈怀里的拥抱… 可以听到对方安稳的心跳声，感受到那温暖的拥抱。
现实中又有多少人可以给你那么一种拥抱呢？
过往可以给我大力拥抱的朋友大都在远方，唯有上网 msn传个大大的拥抱emoticon过去，得到一个回拥的回复。用这种方式得到一个虚拟的拥抱，有些可悲。
结果出乎意料之外，有人说：得空出来喝个茶？顺便给你抱一抱。
感谢有可以在我需要的时候，不过问理由，给予我支持的拥抱的朋友。纵使只是浅浅的拥抱，却感受到那深深的温暖。
感恩。 :)
额外链接，根据psytopic.com：
拥抱可以消除沮丧，能使体内免疫系统的效能上升；拥抱能为倦怠的躯体注入新生命使你变得更年轻，更有活力。在物质文明高度发展的Modern社会，我们对拥抱的渴望和对拥抱的忽略几乎是同样的突出。心理学家说，身体语言，是人与人之间最重要的沟通方式，拥抱是身体的本能需要。而我们的身体失语，已经多年。失语的身体让我们失去了很多明媚的“春天”，为什么不可以给爱一个形式？现在就转身，给你爱的人一个拥抱……
Back to Cheras today, to pack my stuff to move out tomorrow, and back home.
Don't like being back in a place filled with fun memories of friends, but now none of them are here...
不喜歡“人事全非”這詞彙，因為它帶來的聯想往往都是：事變境遷、孤寂、落寞、懷念、回憶。
短短的兩個月，卻有那深深的心靈牽連。
果然還是讀書的日子最美好。
The weather today suits my mood. Gloomy & rainy...
剛看了"Buried"，整個電影就一個場景、一個主角。
電影在一片黑暗中開始，只聽到急促的呼吸音；接著一堆摩擦音后，才有打火機的燈光照明。
看著前面30分鐘，會覺得有點乏味；可是隨著時間流逝，那被活埋，求助無門的無奈、絕望、憤怒... 看了真的會有點辛苦..
回想起來還是會頭痛... *感恩我幸福地活著*
今天第一次聽到這首歌，第一回旋律難記，可是很喜歡那意境；第二回，就更深刻的體會那『明天以後，要好好過』…
戴佩妮還在個人部落格http://taipenny.pixnet.net/blog 上要大家一起立下『明天以後』請願書：
與情人分手，明天以後~你會擁有更多自我
與朋友分離，明天以後~你會期待他日再聚首
與工作告別，明天以後~你會拿到更優渥的條件往前衝
答應自己每一個明天，你都能微笑地不甘示弱！
我也立下了請願書：
明天以後，要告別寂寞，找回那個一個人也很勇敢、快樂的自己！
Like Pastor A.R.Bernard said, "Every day should be a cause for celebration. By celebrating the gift of life, you protect your heart from the dangers of pessimism, regret, hopelessness, and bitterness."
Hadn't been having meals with the group since 2 weeks ago, kinda missed the randomness topic with them over meals so kinda invited them for lunch today. Most of them can't make it so here we are. Yee, Jane, me & Christina...
Yee says," I'm having lunch with you girls because i know you peeps won't talk about exam."
Ok, i'll take that as a compliment.
Will so gonna miss the meal time we have after everything is over.
主演：李东健、金善雅早上要出门时，看见庭院有一只不知死了多久的鱼“干”，被狗狗叼着走... 臭气冲天。
用食物诱拐狗狗，处理鱼干后，点了个薰香才除掉臭味~
过后要洗衣服时，一打开洗衣机，一只小小的壁虎跳到我身上！囧…
晚上在客厅看PPS时，突然听到靠近窗口的黑暗角落有碰撞的声音。望过去那角落，并没有人啊~ 我以为是狗狗从后门跑进来家里了。打开灯后走到角落查看，结果从鱼粮中跑出两只肥肥的老鼠，然后通过窗口的小缝落荒而逃..
今天到底怎么了？
一个星期就这么过去了，回到家，喝下热热的汤的那一刻真幸福！
今天对于雪州和霹州的人，都是悠长假期。我稍感叹：哎，为什么我在KL呢？都没假期…
结果就得到答案：这样也好，要不然放那么多假，我们不就很少学习时间？
囧… 那我知道的啊，只是心态上还是很羡慕假期而已啊…
哎，看来我技不如人、只是不如人之外，连心态都不如人那么积极…
今天跟朋友们吃饭，为一个朋友饯别。
见到面都问：新地方怎样？新生活还好吗？
老实说，这种问题是有够… 新地方能怎样？又不是没有孤身在外生活过，毕竟不是家里，过得去就好。至于医院呢？我们是去那边待考，每天都是超紧张的生活，请问心情会好吗？
在我离开医院范围后，非医学相关人士，可以不要跟我聊考试、医学、医院这话题吗？真的越来越懒惰交际了...
这种时候很感恩有那些见到面只管一起放松开心的朋友。
我是一个偶尔有控制欲的人，我喜欢appointment。
我不喜欢surprise，尤其在繁忙的时段，还有我的生日的时候。
我的生日不难记，所以有心的朋友，不可能会错过，加上现在有facebook这些网页时时刻刻在提醒着。
有心跟我庆祝的朋友，要提早/延迟庆祝，我绝对不会介意。前提是你提前约我时间，那会给我一个欢乐的期待。
其实如果是不熟的朋友，你有没有帮我庆祝我完全不在意，可能你只是到时候facebook spam我的墙，我也觉得ok的。
可是当同一班人，为一个早我两个星期生日的人花那么多心思庆祝，坦白说我不可能不介意我的生日无声无息。距离还剩那么几天的时间，我仍没有听到任何一句来自同一班人询问我何时得空。此时此刻我的心情推断只有以下几种：
从以上几点有些明显我有些开始不爽了... hmm... 所以未来看看后续怎么样好了...
*此刻在此感恩有已经提前预约和告知我何时要见面庆祝的老朋友们，你们是最棒的！*
本小姐的生日就快到啦~ 首先祝我自己生日快乐！ 当然我不会追生日礼物，不过老朋友们（该指名道姓地tag你们吗？哈哈）如果真有考虑要送礼却不知道要送什么，以下是参考范围（我真的想要的）：
- Mitch Albom 《Have A Little Faith》
- Randy Pausch 《The Last Lecture》
- 神木与瞳《守护者》
- Olivia Ong的专辑
- 新眼镜（不过这估计就是自己买）
- Nicholas Sparks 《The Last Song》
- 蔡康永 《说话之道》
- 高木直子《第一次一个人旅行》《一个人旅行2》《一个人漂泊的日子》《一个人住第9年》
当然仔细看，很明显我要的大多是小说或音乐专辑。
如果想送却不想送以上的，有本事的话建议您直接送现金好了 LOL
担心已经是我列出来的，所以没惊喜没创意了？别担心，我更担心会有“惊喜”。
当然，如果已考虑清楚要送那一本书/专辑的话，不妨留言表明你想送哪一样了，以免我收到两份同样的 *真有那么多人会送吗？哈哈*
Translation:
My birthday is near~ Yeah yeah I know where got people remind like that one? I'm not forcing or expecting any presents, just that old friends (which I wonder should I tag you peeps out LOL), or anyone that MAYBE wanna gimme gifts but don't know what to buy, here's a reference list:(above)
Obviously most in the lists are books, which I'll be more than happy to have it.
Don't worry about not having surprise anymore since I've listed it out, I'll worry more about "surprises“ LOL
If you wanna give a special gift but don't want anything listed above, my advise: I'll be more than happy to have CASH *grin*
Of course, IF you've decided to get something according to the list, please leave a comment so that I won't get same books X2, k? Hahaha…
When I was up on the first peak & was happily trying my friend's DSLR, somebody walked up & said "HI~"... I was so totally surprise to see an old friend from Ipoh, Wiliam~! Haha, he came with his uni mates from Kajang. Wow... All the youth days we spent in church, memory flash backs & it's such a joy to see old friends unexpectedly! Of course, a photo is a must!
After lingering around until about 8pm, we needed to head back as some of them are in a rush. Thus we took a group pic & headed down...
But then again, EVERYONE is heading down so it's yet another round of traffic~
Thus me & a few friends waited while enjoying the breeze...
And as we slowly make our way down, we came upon this tree with a swing that we saw on our way up... *it was still very dark then thus not advisable to take photos at that hour =P*
Now that it's bright daylight, we actually saw a few pairs of shoes hanging on the branches of the tree..? Takkan it's a "wishing tree"?
As we continued our journey down, we reached the part where it actually kinda scary (to me) to see clearly that the small path you're walking on is just beside this "gaung"... When you're going UP in the dark, you won't notice it THAT clearly!
And we're so glad we actually reached the ground! A photo of the start of the trail to end it all...
I must say it's a joy to be up there but it's not going through the process... *but then again, maybe it's just me =P*
Since I saw smashpop's photoshots of Broga Hill, I've been amazed that the beautiful & but being a lazy person whom don't like exercise, not to mention wanting me to go HIKING!!
This month, our cg suggested we go Broga outing 'cos last month other friends went & their photos were awesome thus Broga it is! Was kinda reluctant at first due to laziness (again) & Semenyih is quite a distance, what's more the suggested time to depart is… 4AM?! Yes, they wanna go for the sunrise. Anyway, this time due i was in charge of this outing thing, how reluctant my body yells, I still have to join, right? *Psyching myself: Just this once, take the nice hotos & no next time*
Everything went pretty well that morning (though from the status of fb the night before, it's rather obvious most people couldn't get their sleep) & we reached the starting trail of Broga Hill by 5:15AM. The surrounding was completely dark at that hour, without torchlight you practically can't see your way up.
According to web search & feedback from most friends, it's rather EASY to hike that you may reach the top within like... 30minutes ? But what they didn't mention is for people woth VERY POOR stamina like me, though it's a rather "short" distance, the steepness of the hill practically want my life hiking up! *thus I kinda rested along the way while the rest continued on aiming for the sunrise*
This was my view at the point of sunrise...
And slowly, I finally reached the FIRST Peak~ and this is the path continuing on to 2nd-4th Peak, which I didn't take... =P
The contented me just stayed remaining Peak 1 to take pictures of the lalangs...
and I found this lalang that looked like a caterpillar...
Then as I was taking pic, David was done with his phototaking & I get to try out his DSLR~ *whee.. Seriously my first time trying a DSLR!* Then I tried trying out with the sky, then landscape (see how far it can zoom), and some potrait...
and then back with the lalang again *grin*...
I wanted to try taking a very nice lalang photo (like one of those I see on web), I tried with a very nice light, but the lalang a bit messy... Then a very nice, clear lalang by its own, but the light a bit pinkish... Hmm... Anyway, I'm satisfied with the result just for now :)
Oops... Somebody caught me on film playing with the DSLR... Looked kinda horrid though =P
中學的我「幾乎」沒有叛逆期。說“幾乎”是因為我唯一小小的叛逆就是週六偶爾會翹個社團活動跟朋友去逛街、到租書店消遣而已。
上學院開始的小小“叛逆”就是放學后跟同學逛街、看電影。
上大學后才開始有翹課的叛逆...囧
回顧整個成長過程，感覺真的有點倒退成長，怎麼年紀越大才越來越想放縱？不想照著社會的遊戲和正常思想走…
小時候，不喜歡就不理睬，更甚用言語直接表示別來煩我。現在，不喜歡頂多只能寡言，那是待人禮儀的最大讓步。縱使心裡只想繼續活在自己溫暖的朋友小圈圈，但人生卻告訴你必須認識新的人，擴展自己的胸懷和度量。
不喜歡每認識新的人，就要重新自我介紹。老實說，大部份陌生人真的don't give a shit 你的職業啦，他們需要知道的就只是你的一個社會“身份”來將你定位。在社會的identity上模擬兩可的現在，更是討厭這種狀況。聽到無謂的問題的時候，心裡想：關你屁事；嘴裡却要笑笑應酬...
當你年紀越長，需開始負的責任越大，身邊的人也隨著要求越多。要學著成長，要學著社會的遊戲順從，要學著不任性，要學著虛偽，要學著不得不善良。
虛偽，虛偽... 真的虛偽到連打一篇文章都開始三思。
Being asked the meaning of "inception", I think most of us wouldn't have a clue, neither do I...
After searching for the meaning online, "inception - an event that is a beginning; a first part or stage of subsequent events".
As far as we know, it's a new sci-fi movie by Leonardo DiCaprio!
I've been so thrilled & excited since I watched the trailer, that I go watch it first thing after my lunch! I mean.. Leonardo DiCaprio never failed to amaze me with his acting & this is definitely yet another not-to-be-missed!! Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, they ALL delivered it to their BEST!
It far exceeded my expectation, love the idea of dream vs reality to the extend that you can't differentiate both. The action & all, it's totally mind-blowing that it's simply an epic mastermind... Ok, I've lost track of my words..
This is Matrix relive, man! A movie that will blast your mind off between reality, sub-concious & dream!! Chris Nolan, I can only say he's a genius for being able to think of such a simple plot filled with complexed details! He's simply the mastermind!
For some weak-hearted such as my sis, she described it as "a little horror" with all the tensity.
Quoting my friend Cindy, "This is not just a "blow things up" movie , but a movie that is creative and original in every aspect and will make you think long after you leave the cinema.
"WOW" is all that I can say & I'm still feeling the adrenaline rush through my veins even at this moment as I think of it hours after the movie!
The 0.5 that I didn't give is simply for the ending of the movie where it leaves a little mystery for you to decide whether it's dream or reality... Urgh... LOVE IT!!!
I can't wait to go watch for the second time~ *whee*
PS: Clear your mind before you go into the cinema… & don't go with simple-minded people cos they'll get confuse somehow in the middle of no where (like Matrix used to be) & start asking questions!
韩剧的插曲、音乐真的都很能让人无法自拔...
最近又迷上了这么一首，【Coffee House】里的一首插曲...
那淡淡的无奈，相爱的两个人却不知道为什么会分开、会离别，配上剧情真的是扣住人心...
以下译词来自百度空间 我爱韩剧更爱(凤凰天使)，感谢翻译：yimu
주르륵 눈물이 흘러 스르륵 두눈이 감겨/骨碌碌 我泪流不止 苏噜噜
이별이라 말하지는 말아요/我闭上双眼 不要对我说离别
보일듯 멀어져가는 잡힐듯 잡히지 않는/我看见了渐渐远离的你 想挽回却碰触不到的你
그대라서 난 오늘도 눈물만/今天的我 依然在哭泣
난 이별을 모를래요 모르고 살래요/我不懂所谓的离别 这辈子都不会懂
슬픔따위 없을거라 약속했던 사람 그대 아니었나요/不会再有更让我悲伤的事情 曾经和我约定的人 难道不是你
사랑해요 우리 어떻게 헤어져요/我爱你 我们怎么能这样分手
들리나요 미치도록 그대 보고 싶은데/听见了吗 疯狂的想见你的我
내가 어떻게 잊어요 그대를 지울까요/我该怎么学会遗忘 又怎么才能够遗忘
매일 눈물로 나 살텐데/每天每天哭着的我
지긋이 두눈을 감고 깨끗이 눈물을 닦고/我轻轻闭上双眼 我擦干了泪水
그댈 향한 그리움을 닦아요/也擦去了对你的思念
그래도 안되나봐요 사랑이라는게/却还是不行
잊으려 하면 할수록 더욱 생각나고 그리워지나봐요/所谓爱情 越想要遗忘 越是容易想起 越是更加思念的吧
사랑해요 우리 어떻게 헤어져요/我爱你 我们怎么能这样分手
들리나요 미치도록 그대 보고 싶은데/听见了吗 疯狂的想见你的我
내가 어떻게 잊어요 그대를 지울까요/我该怎么学会遗忘 又怎么才能够遗忘
매일 눈물로 나 살텐데/每天每天哭着的我
미안해요 나는 그댈 잊지 못해요/对不起 我真的没办法忘记你
여전히 난 그대만을 사랑하고 원해요/只想要像以前那样爱着你
다시 사랑한다해도 다른 누굴 만나도/就算我能够再爱上谁 就算我再和谁约会
그대 같은 사람 없어요/也找不到像你这样的人
Some people have very good behaviour on daily basis but once they sit behind the wheel, they get stressed & upset very easily. At the very moment of time, it's all about your driving-anger management.
Some people, when stressed the tend to go fast, and break abruptly when needed.
Sometimes they got so stressed and upset they just want to go their way & they kinda forget about traffic rules.
If you see a reckless driver, even though you're upset inside, please don't show it outside through the way you drive. BEHAVE on the road.
I don't like to sit in the car of an angry driver. I feel tension & worried.
When you show your stress through your driving, you not only stressed up yourself, you're stressing your passengers & other drivers on the road as well.
We can't expect to change everyone, why not we change ourselves instead?
Nicholas Cage is on screen again with his new movie "Sorcerer's Apprentice".
Well, of everyone's mind, what would you do if you have magic? What would you do if you're a sorcerer?
I think a lot of people somehow have kinda been brainwashed by Spiderman's “When there is great power, there is great responsibility.” thingy thus the most common yet simple answer would definitely be “TO SAVE THE WORLD”!
If I am a sorcerer, I won't save human cos as long as there's humanity, human beings would have greed, ignorance, jealousy, etc... Let's not go down the list, we see wars and killing, destruction throughout human history YET there's always such a thing call love thus humanity prevailed & human will still survive.
Anyhow, with the power I have, I'd save the animals from extinction due to human cruelty, such as sea turtles, tigers, rhinoes, whales, etc... Well, throwing fireballs on those who kills for greed is just one of them, I will try to put spells on certain amount of animals that nobody could harm them. Or perhaps I just move some of them into the magical world of sorcerer.For that I might need help from a lot of sorcerers, I need sorcerer friends~
Last but not least, if I am a sorcerer, I would very much like to get to know other lgendary sorcerers such as Albus Dumbledore, Lupin, Hermione, Ron & the twin Weasley brothers... Yes, the sorcerers from Harry Potter! A different movie but they are sorcerers too, right? 
Hmm… Come to think of it, it ain't bad to be a Sorcerer's Apprentice after all~ 
You know a person is totally addicted to facebook games when…
M: I wanna bake some cinnamon roll...
A: Cinnamon roll? You mean in "BAKING LIFE" or REAL one?
M: Real one lah... =.= 
Thus we have fresh cinnamon rolls to eat after a few hours *grin*
