There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere

Jack Sparrow..

Captain Jack Sparrow to be exact !

I can't comment on this movie.

I'm deeply in love with Depp.
So, I will be totally buyers.
Despite the fact that Arif ended up playing at the aisle.
Despite the fact that my sister in law slept her way through the movie.
I will rate this as fabulous!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, is the forth instalment of this Jerry Bruckheimer production.
Their first was in year 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Followed by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 2006.
Quick trilogy sequel the following year with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
So you see, after 4 years of searching and waiting for Depp's movie, (sorry coz I'm not loving him in "The Tourist"), how do you expect me to not be smitten with Jack Sparrow?

Unlike all previous series, this forth franchise was not directed by Gore Verbinski.
Rob Marshall took this one up and sorry to say, but I do feel like some scenes are just not relevant and actually not even needed at all.
For instance, the Spanish intervention.
It's really not that crucial to say the least as the Fountain of Youth could also be destroyed by the men fighting anyways, same approach, aye?


And what better way to finish off the 2 and a half hours movie date, other than dive into the Fountain of Ice Cream?

Mango Sorbet for Amin.

Raspberry Sorbet for Arif.

Thank you Acik Hajar for the wonderful outing!

Let's do Kung Fu Panda 2, next Saturday, ok!

Happy Teacher's Day

There are three teachers that I will remember forever.
The first is my Standard 1 teacher.
Her name is Puan Siti Khadijah.
We called her Cikgu Khadijah.
She is the nicest and sweetest human being I have ever met.
Now I believe that all Standard 1 teacher should be that way because she was the reason that I love going to school sooo much!

The second teacher is my Standard 5 teacher.
Her name is Puan Fatimah.
And I hated her so much.
She gave tons and tons of homework, and very very fierce.
Scared the shit out of every student.
She made me terrified to go to class.

The third teacher is my Standard 6 teacher.
Her name is Puan Azizah.
And she turned the whole terrible standard 5 experience upside down.
She not only made learning fun, but also made sure all of us in her class got straight A's in the UPSR.
We (me and my Standard 6 classmates) loved here so much that we stayed in contact with her until we finished high school!

To all the teachers in the world, I would like to say thank you for everything.
Your tolerance with students is unmeasurable and may Allah blessed you for your dedication and kindness.

Happy Teachers Day!

I'm kinda lost, at the moment

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel lost?
Like, is this it?
Am I going to do this forever?
It's not actually 'bored' to be exact.
It's more like being lost.
Plain lost.

So, what actually did you do when you hit this moment of lost-ness?
Me?
Well, my first step in finding answers, was, basically using the nearest and closest thing to me - my iPhone4, and googled "Feel Lost".
Yeah, tell me how lame that was.
Hey, give me credit ok, for actually still able to think when hit by this lost mode.
Anywayyy, wow, being google, it came out with 202 million results.
Errkk.. this oughta kill my 'lost' time indeed!
So, since I was lost, I simply scroll down the list..
Found out that major links (those that appears on top of most commonly related to it), state that "feeling lost" is actually associated with depression.

Urrggghh.. ok.. now that sounds soooo serious and dangerous too.
Nope, I don't want to be in depression mode.
Coz, I am not really that depressed.
Ok.. continue scrolling google lists..
Flip a few pages, and walllllaaaahhh!!!
Found this!

Absolutely the thing that I was looking for.
Hmm..
I need a change..
Hmm..
What should I do next?

Get a new haircut?

Get a new hair colour?

 

How about a body tattoo?

Bwahahahha..

Buang tebiat ke ko, Aida oiiii!!

Ok, I heard you, my dear friends.. this is not it.

I know.

Perhaps, change my tudung style?

DONE!

From this;

 To this;

Change my daily workout routines?

DONE!

From this;

To this;

 

Hey, commuting back and forth to work is a workout routine, ok!

I had to walk to/ from the station, up/ down the stairs and not to mention standing for the rest of 18 minutes per journey.

I sweat doing that, you know.

Although not drenched in sweat, but still, healthy routines, right?

So what's next?

Hmm.. maybe I need to revamp my handbags collection?

Ohhhhhhhh!

So, this is where it's heading, huh?

Bwaahahhahaa

Hats Gallore !

Sorry peeps.
I'm still in the British Royal Wedding mood.
Was glued to the tv watching the reruns with my aunt last night.
Ohhhhh, such a lovely wedding! Awwww..

Ok, enough said, I just wanted to post pics of the hats worn by some of the lady-guests, as captured by the paparazzi and posted online.

Of course, we cannot understand whats the fuss is all about.

Until we embraced the British culture.

It is impolite for British men to wear hats indoors, especially in churches, but when it comes to women, the tradition dates back to the time when the Anglican Church required ladies to keep their heads covered in Church, much like other religions still do to today.

But now, the hats are called facinators.

So, you get the point of why it is to be facinated for.

Only a British-born-fashionistas will be able to appreciate all these.

Because the facinators used are not just for fun.

It actually matches the whole outfit and brings it to life.

 

Mad Hatter must be sooo proud!

To Mommy

Happy Mommy Day, to all the mothers around the globe.
Although, I do believe that we deserve at least a day in every month as 'mommy-day'.. LOL

Wordless Wednesday : Very the very fluffy momma

What do Xena, Jackie Chan and Robin Hood have in common?

They are all in Thor.
Believe it.
Go watch the movie and you will leave the cinema remembering this scene.

We watched it last night and personally, I liked it.
I seriously adored Natalie Portman and worshipped Anthony Hopkins.
And obviously, can't stop gawking at the Brad Pitt resemblance, Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

But hubby, being a Marvel die hard fan, was not happy with the movie.
According to him, the film should be more focused on Thor, elaborate more on the character, should have less humour, and longer fighting scenes.

Based on comic book character of the same name, Thor, this is a continuation of Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2.
This film spans almost 2 hours, and once again, let me remind you to please not leave the cinema as soon as credits are up.
Wait till the very end.
Because there will be a trailer of continuation.
Definitely worth the wait.
Ohhhh, I sooo can't wait for Captain America !!
