Memoirs of a Geisha

I went to see Memoirs of a Geisha last Saturday night in Sunway Pyramid. I read the book some months ago and I was excited to watch the movie & to see all the characters mentioned in the book (It was like this too when they started showing the Bridget Jones Diary I&II last time)….. well, then again, I am so damn full of excitement lah, I guess. I get excited over everything.. EVERY SINGLE THING!

Anyway, back to the movie story. Earlier, I tried to make an online reservation but failed. Then I tried to do the phone booking….. over and over and over.

Result? Failed again… either no seats or the name of the movie was not mentioned for that particular cinema. Duh! The system screwed up. Don’t they have a group of IT people checking the system once in while? I gave up! Had to choose the last resort…walk in! Haiiyyaaa…. I’m sure you know what it’s like to go to Sunway after office hours. Nightmare! My tolerance level is quite low when it comes to traffic jam. But, I knew I must get the tickets on Friday because I wouldn’t want to take the risk of going there on Saturday morning to discover that all tickets are sold out. So, after the yoga class on Friday evening, I was in my car when my SIL called me & told me that she was in Sunway Pyramid buying movie tickets for herself.

I was smiling from left ear to right ear when I heard this…. hehe… So I was lucky that day, she got me two tickets for the movie on Saturday and yesss…..I drove straight home to my kids and dinner, happily. Save the ‘nerve wrecking-words cursing-tense building’ moments for later….

The show was on Saturday night and it started at 11.45pm and finished almost around 2.30am. I think it was a good movie. Worth watching….. so ladies, if you haven’t seen this movie, do make plans for it this coming weekend. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

* Note : my SIL said she went with her teenage daughter and her daughter said it was boring. SIL added that probably the movie appeals more to middle-aged women (like me lah and you maybe!!????)… hmmm…. tell me what you think.

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

The Day I Decided To Write Again

I've closed this door some years ago... and I thought I'd be closing it for good.  Even my last visit here was years ago.  Today I decided to open it up again.... and maybe I should start writing again.  So many things happened in the last few years, good and bad, happy and sad... now, I guess, is just the time to share some and to keep them here as memories. Welcome back to my space.
