Procrastination is like masturbation….

Posted by IcedNyior on October 21, 2007  |  3 Comments

Its Sunday already and pass a whole week of holidays which wasn’t really a holiday per se but more like a relaxing week, lots of sleeping. Met with a few friends i hvnt met for some time. No clubbing or drinking sessions tho coz my kaki2 all balik kpg. Come back fast guys! Im missing u all already!

I was basically so lazy (yep im not afraid to admit it) that i juz lazed away the holidays – but it really was a good resting time coz I slept early and woke up early as well, none of the clubbing till 3-4am then coming back and sleeping only at 6-7am after showering (I absolutely must shower after coming back from clubs, no matter what time it is) then waking up 12 hrs later ready for another round of painting the town red.

I have loads of work to finish and I haven’t even started. Sigh….

Oh and in case you were asking about the strange title, its from this quote I got from Izzah; Procrastination is like masturbation. It seems like a good idea at the time, but in the end you’re really only fucking yourself.- Unknown

My new baby & a quiet raya

Posted by IcedNyior on October 19, 2007  |  7 Comments

I got my new baby – red hot Perodua Viva! Finally! Well I’ve had it for almost a week now, since Thursday (11 Oct) thanks to Azman who rushed the whole process just so I could get it before Raya. Thanks loads! I really like my number plate as well – WQQ then 4 odd numbers after that. My mom is quite happy there are no ’4′ in the number plate.

The reason why I didnt get a Myvi was because my parents wanted to get a 2nd cheaper car since we already have the Honda. If we were thinking of buying a main car, then a myvi would be good. Plus a Viva is more cost saving in the long run.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So yea, I’ve been really rajin going out lately – esp for movies, thats why there are so many movie reviews i’ve written lately :P The most recent movie I went to watch was The Last Legion with Jef & Ariff who both bullied me.

Raya this year has been really really quiet – even tho I had a week holiday. Its a week past raya and I still hvnt gone to any open houses this year. However I am invited to a few end of this month. Then there’s the Gegar Ria thing to think about. Need to settle the presentation & also the web conferencing. Not to mention the photography session. (I hope I wont be too busy snapping photos of everyone and eventually not having any fun or even participating :()

On a happier note, the Pangkor trip is confirmed. Everyone has paid the 50% deposit (which explains why im broke this month, rm90 for Pangkor, rm70 for gegar) and all 10+1 of us are going – Pam, Me, G, Sonic, Aree, Jef, Ariff, Nik, Craig, Arai + Taufan. Looking forward to having tons of fun there.

One of my newest submissions, lets hope this gets good criticism reviews

Tomorrow (Saturday) I have a DFJJ Meetup at KLCC this afternoon. Im still wondering if i should go or not coz im rather shy and everyone else is like such a professional photographer. But I need to go get my shirt from omar and I have met a few of them during the Rumpun so Im still considering.

[Review]RE:Extinction & Brave One

Posted by IcedNyior on October 17, 2007  |  1 Comment

Synopsis : Alice, now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera and L.J., along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity.

I watched this with the gang the other day when it came out in the cinemas. This is the continuation of the previous Resident Evil movies. The zombie infection has spread to almost the whole human population, and the earth is a barren desert with a few human survivors travelling around learning to survive and escape from the zombies.

Fans of the previous movies will like this sequel. Personally i think that this tops all the previous movies. You really get the feel of the video game with its usual suspense and zombies (including ferocious dog zombies) popping out all over the place. This is a movie full of action, of blood, flames and slicing and shooting. Bring your boyfriend to watch it, he’ll love it.

Rating : (*)(*)(*)(*) of 5 stars

~~~~~~~~~~

Synopsis : New York radio host Erica Bain has a life that she loves and a fiancé she adores. All of it is taken from her when a brutal attack leaves Erica badly wounded and her fiancé dead. Unable to move past the tragedy, Erica begins prowling the city streets at night to track down the men she holds responsible. Her dark pursuit of justice catches the public’s attention, and the city is riveted by her anonymous exploits. But with the NYPD desperate to find the culprit and a dogged police detective hot on her trail, she must decide whether her quest for revenge is truly the right path, or if she is becoming the very thing she is trying to stop.

I watched this movie with a guy friend of mine. Its my first time seeing Jodie Foster playing a kind of character that was strong and determined like this one. She looked a lot older (with more fine lines) than when I last saw her. I think she captured the essence of her character very well.

Watching this movie felt like you were there with her, feeling her emotions and turmoil as she struggles with the death of her beloved fiance and the trauma from a brutal attack. You can almost feel the relief that she feels when she buys herself a gun to make her feel safe.

Its a tale of all the evil that can happen out there and our non-chalant attitude which thinks that ‘oh, that’ll never affect me’ until one fateful day. That one fateful day when evil arrives on your doorstep, when you least expect it, when you least want it.

My only dislike about this movie was that it was too damn slow. Argh…so many minutes were wasted on basically nothing. Great movie, fantastic actors/actresses, but oh so lousy timing.

Rating : (*)(*)(*) and half of 5 stars. It would hv gotten a 4 if it wasnt too draggy.

Make money thru Smorty

Posted by IcedNyior on October 17, 2007  |  No Comments

Some time ago I wrote about a paid or sponsored posts service that I’m which allows advertisers will pay bloggers a certain amount of money to advertise on their blogs. Smorty is a similar service available on the market. It provides you (the blogger) with many different types of opportunities to blog about a wide range of subjects, services and products. You can choose which opportunities are appropriate for your reading audience.

What I like about Smorty is that you can add as many different blogs as you like, thus increasing the possibility of making more money. Unlike some other paid posts services which restricts you to have to write a set number of posts before allowing you to add other blogs. The method of payment used is Paypal – which is one of the securest and popular way to make online transactions.

So what are you waiting for? Register with Smorty and get paid for blogging!

Review : The Seeker

Posted by IcedNyior on October 7, 2007  |  1 Comment

When Ariff said we were watching the seekers movie I was like “huh? seekers? that malay series looking for ghosts?” Apparently its this new movie called The Seeker : The Dark is Rising. According to the sypnosis, it “is the first film adaptation of the Susan Cooper’s acclaimed novel “The Dark Is Rising”. The film tells the story of Will Stanton, a young man who learns he is the last of a group of warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. Travelling back and forth through time, Will discovers a series of clues which lead him into a showdown with forces of unimaginable power. With the Dark once again rising, the future of the world rests in Will’s hands.”

Basically this movie is about the forces of good and evil fighting and their hero is a young boy who is suddenly given a huge role in which he knows nothing about. I love the setting of the movie, its like in a small village in england with huge manors, little cottages and snow. But i hated the angles, some of it was messy to the point that one or two shots were terbalik. The storyline was also too simple and predictable – light vs dark, time travelling, boy meets girl and falls in love with her, two funny twins in the family (for comic relief), guardian/mentor who doubts that the hero is the right person but is eventually supportive.

Rating : (*)(*) – I wouldn’t recommend watching this movie in the cinema, go grab a dvd or something
