Ridiculously; can’t sleep

Few things to say, before I force myself to sleep.

1. I miss Steve Jobs very much. Watched his 10 iconic moments on video. Incredible. Speechless. Then that, I miss him even more.

2. I’m shocked to find out Zachary Quinto come out as gay. Literally I’m not an anti gay. I have many friends who are the same. One of those things you learn from a sister who is a doctor is, everyone will always be human; so everyone is the same. This just shocked me, not ill me; Coz I genuinely did not expected that to come.

3. Chris Pine next movie will be out next year, 2012 on February 17th (US President Day – weekend). Entitled “This Means War”. Also starring: Reese Whiterspoon and Tom Hardy. Filmed in Vancouver, Canada; last November 2010. And I keep telling, yelling to the world and you guys..

“I’m a very huge big gigantic fan of Chris Pine”

4. I think I’ll be visiting Singapore this end of year. First I thought of it; but then I felt lazy. But my sister’s fiance have some agenda for me there. So will just see what happen. What I really want to actually happen when I’m in Singapore is, I want to meet, be friend with Eduardo Saverin (Co-founder of Facebook). And have some coffee and enjoying educational advices from him. 1, 2 tips on web developing and investment.. etc..

Alright, Adios!

Great movie, “Something Borrowed” (2011), but Rotten Tomatoes disagree.

Something Borrowed

I’m  seriously in love with Something Borrowed (2011) movie. The story line is just so complicated, but might be predictable to some. Personally, the movie blows my mind! I love Kate Hudson (who is playing as Darcy Rhone) since I can’t remember, but I’m loving this movie not base on my affection on her as an actress. It’s the story line, particularly two person who did not tell their true feeling to each other.

Oh I never thought of saying this in public, but DAMN, I never seen a really handsome guy in a movie before! Colin Egglesfield (playing as Dex Thaler) is really a good looking handsome guy. And this is coming from a me! I feel so gay right now. No Kiddin’!! I was like, why can’t I have that look! Oh well some human are just lucky; born with good looks and physique. Great DNA as long as they are not bimbo haha.

I don’t really know Ginnifer Goodwin (playing as Rachel White) well but she’s cute. Remind me of a girl who I had a crush during high school. Really cute girl. Speaking of high school, and the same approximately 6 years before, I really had this deep crush on this girl. but seriously I have no guts in telling her. I miss her more with this movie. The movie dialogue by Dex and Rachel

“Rachel, you were all I ever thought about in law school. Did you really not know that?” – Dex
“I just didnt think someone like you, could ever like someone like me.” – Rachel

John Krasinski (playing as Ethan), what should I  say about him. Ok he is nice! Ok thats just what I could say about him in the movie. LOL. Forgive me, maybe next time. :P

Btw I can’t believed Rotten Tomatoes rate it poor. You know they are all good judges. But I just don”t care haha, I love this movie.

From Wiki
Something Borrowed has received negative reviews. Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 15% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 106 reviews, with an average score of 3.9 out of 10. The critical consensus is: “In spite of solid performances from Kate Hudson and John Krasinski, Something Borrowed is an unpleasant misfire that lives down to its title.”[3] Among Rotten Tomatoes Top Critics, which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television and radio programs, the film holds an overall approval rating of only 3%, based on a sample of 31 reviews.[3]Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews from film critics, the film has a rating score of 36% based on 30 reviews.[4]

Reflection of few days of holiday.

I’m actually forcing myself to write something at this hour. I have no interest to sleep now. Tomorrow, I begin my work as a teacher after few days of school break. And now I’m thinking to reflect back what I had done during my vacation.

It was a beautiful engagement day for my sister Hartini (on Friday, 10th June 2011). The past few days was hectic, we did family team work and collaboration  in organizing our house in Subok Village; to make it clean and possible for our visitors to come in. Technically it was smooth, and I am very happy how the event turn out to be =)

On the 9th June 2011, which was on Thursday; I participated at the GreenSTEPS initiatives seminars and workshop. 1st of all, the foods were great. 2nd the guest speaker Mr. Mark Cheng, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Avelife Foundation of Singapore delivered a very inspiring speech. And this was coming from a guy at an age of 23 (same as me).

Alid+Misli+GreenSTEP+Brunei+2011

The best part of that day is, during the afternoon workshop. I got a chance to vain myself in front of 39 participants. Well actually, I was just delivering some notes by my group and I, in which we have collaborated to produce some justifying answers during the discussions. What I really like about it, was during my presentation, everyone seems to enjoy it, and I heard a lot of  laugh amongst the participants and they clap their hands after I have end my speech. Well, Thank You. I really feel honored. I mean, let me do it again! :P As you can see from the photo above, all the five fine ladies are laughing and seems to enjoy it.

I also spend my time with my best bud, HD. As usual, the men conversation, dinner and movies. The 1st movie was not my kind of taste. Malay movies are hardly appreciated by my brain, no offense, but I do have some Malay movies which are good!

I watched Super 8, and I find it awesome. I’m a fan of JJ Abrams for his work on Star Trek  (2009, which helps Chris Pine career to blossom) and the TV series Fringe. I also watched X-men: First Class and The Green Lantern. For both, it is OK. I mean its good, but not that great like Star Trek :P

Smurf

Speaking of movies, I can’t wait to watch The Smurf Movie! The smurfs are so cute and Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother TV Series is in it! so it gotta be awesome!

Sing+Hiap+Hin+Brunei

I also spend my holiday by doing some mechanics shopping – spare parts for my brother.. kinda good to learn few things about cars at Sing Hiap Hin Keng Hwa Auto Co. , Gadong.

Oh+Land+Album+Brunei

My Ohland – Ohland Album arrived (from Amazon.com) at my parents house during my vacation. And I really love it very much! And I want to meet you Ohland and the drummer Hans Hvidberg-Hansen.

The+Last+Song+Nicholas+Sparks+Movie

And just now, I finished watching The Last Song. Two things I want to say:

1) Dear Miley Cyrus, Please I beg you, don’t ruin your life, like Ms. Lindsay Lohan or Ms. Britney Spears did. Your acting, your singing vocal and music are awesome! And I love you for who you are, even though a stranger love does not meant anything for you.. hehe (too exaggerate?)

2) Dear Nicholas Sparks,  I’m in love with your writing. And for my 24th birthday this 17th December; I wish to own all your novels including Wokini and the soon to be release”The Best of Me”.

I think that is all for a quick update :)

Amazon.com Something not cheap for me.

Dear Amazon.com,

Last month, I ordered 3 DVDs just for my shelf collection on August 29th, 2009 (GMT-8) from Amazon.com. It’s worth to buy 3 DVDs for the cost of US$29.96 in US dollars. But for me, I’ll be paying them in Brunei dollars which is about BND$43.076. So you won’t think its worth now if you understand the figure I have to pay for three DVDs. Yes, you can say O.M.G too. That’s not all, there’s an extra fees, which we like to call it “International Shipping & Handling fees” or cost.

  • Standard International Shipping (averages 18-32 days)

For 3 DVDs, on standard shipment (because its the cheapest) cost about US$16.96 or about BND$24.385. So roughly I’ll be charge on my MasterCard for a total of BND68-69 dollars. Talk about worth now? :S

amazon

The story of my Amazon is not over yet; when will I expect the delivery to reach me? Since my package was shipped on August 31st, 2009, my delivery estimate was stated between September 25th, 2009 – October 16th, 2009. Wow Alid are you sure it’s worth?

To answer all the “is this worth?” well for me it’s worthy. It’s not easy to get to see these films (movies). I can’t find it at our local (Brunei) stores and also I can’t find it on the internet, in search for download opportunity. So the last resource is to buy these DVDs online.

I know its beyond mentioning how expensive it is. Paying about BND$60+ for 3 DVDs! Well I do have other option, which is to buy it from eBay. But unfortunately my new MasterCard is not yet linked with my PayPal account. Since I was very desperate to get the DVDs, I have no option to wait for PayPal. It would be much cheaper thou buying things at eBay compare buying at Amazon.com.

More things about Amazon.com, a) shipment to Brunei is not always available, especially the items are sold by 3rd party. So make sure your items that you wanted to buy is sold by Amazon, or else sometime (usually) the items can’t be shipped to Brunei’s addresses. Sigh. b) And always check your tracking shipment at your account. It will update you, and now my estimate delivery is on October 9th, 2009.

PS: This is what happen if your a big TV Series (Drama) and a Film (Movie) Fan! And I buy Region 1 DVDs only!

Carriers (2009) Horror Movie Was Born In 2007.

Carrierspost

Carriers is an upcoming 2009 Horror movies, but sadly it won’t be released globally, and only selected US theaters (or we like to call it here as cinema). So if your living in:

- Atlanta, GA
- Charlotte, NC
- Denver, CO
- Detroit, MI
- Minneapolis, MN
- Philadelphia, PA
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Phoenix, AZ
- Portland, OR
- St. Louis, MO

you might be lucky to catch it short in distance, starting September 4th, 2009. But for biggest cities like LA, New York or Chicago, it won’t be so lucky. So drive your way hours to reach the closest listed theater.

Its very interesting to know that, this film was completed in the year 2007, (yes the year which I quoted in the past that Chris Pine didn’t realese any movie). And apparently, it was also being screened in the same year. And as an addition facts, the film has since been collecting dust under Paramount Vantage. Kinda sad to know, right?

I hardly agree on Perez Hilton, but this time I have to agree with him/her (Yes, be confuse everyone for his sexualities). He mention on his post New Chris Pine Movie Is Most Likely Crap! that:

Carriers has apparently been on the shelf for quite some time, with industry insiders speculating the only reason the movie is seeing any release at all is because of Pine’s success with Star Trek.

They’re probably right!

And The Horrors Squad call it as a Bummer:

Well this is a bummer. Carriers wasn’t even on my radar until Paramount Vantage put out a chain of intense trailers showing a world ravaged by viral pandemic. Now, according to Fangoria, I’m not even going to have the opportunity to see Chris Pine and Piper Perabo wear cute surgical masks while they try to survive the end of times. You can’t go from “What’s Carriers?” to “Man, I can’t wait to see Carriers!” to “What do you mean I can’t see Carriers?”. That’s just mean, Paramount Vantage.

I find this amazing (I’m being sarcastic here), and I really believe to that, since Chris Pine success in his Star Trek work with solid-electric-drama-arts-performance, and now all the publisher/producer/production companies will believed that what ever film Chris Pine in, they would get extreme profit although the movie story-line is heading for a train-wreck.

Hmm. I have mix verdicts on this behaviors. To released a film that have been kept for years, because pre-technically believed it won’t work (that’s the reason why it kept collecting dust) and to release it after one of the cast member had been enormously success on being one of the top level of spotlight, its just completely nonsense. It’s like using fame to sell a movie.” Well aren’t it supposed to be like that?” It is supposed to be one of the reasons why people hired best quality actors/actresses. But I hope the quality of  a movie doesn’t ONLY rely on who the cast(s) is/are.

But in market world itself a.k.a ShowBiz, as long as it is profitable, who care’s what people think! Oh well at some point, for the casts including Piper Perabo, they now can smile as their hard work putting this film together will eventually come out and be cleaned from the dust.

I don’t really like Paramount Vantage handle their films. Unless they know that H1N1 will be released in 2009 for the right time to release the movie. And limiting the release in certain areas is not the best for the fans, especially Chris Pine’s fans and Horrors Movie’s Fans.

Last but not least, All the best Carriers! Darn it, now I have to watch it by buying the DVD at Amazon. Well hopefully its available in the DVDs stores.
