Killers

It seems like there are 2 versions of the script. One turned into a romantic comedy with Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher while the other turned to be a more action filled movie with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. So guess which one I decided to watch??

The one with the Katherine of course! I miss her so much in Grey's Anatomy. So this is where I can get my Katherine dosage... KILLERS.. The movie isnt too bad. Really.. The storyline could have been improved somehow as the movie got confusing at some parts. Halfway through the movie, I didnt realise that the couple were already married for 3 years, when I thought that they were taking things "slow"... Getting married to a spy or assassin may seem exciting I guess, but Ashton's character was abit all over the place because you dont really know if he actually managed to successful retire from the job... I also kinda expected him to hide his guns in a super secret compartment somewhere hidden in the house.. Not in a normal duffel bag that could easily be found by the wife.. Seriously?? Cmon scriptwriter! You could do better than that!!

It was weird seeing Katherine in a character where she is a little ditzy.. But somehow, I knew her natural confidence would overtake the character.. I guess it wasnt one of the best character that she has played.. Maybe I can separate her Izzy character.. But she was excellent in The Ugly Truth..

So anyway, I did enjoy watching the movie. Go watch, Killers if you want a simple romantic comedy.. It was the exact movie that I needed to watch.. :)

Happy Birthday Singapore!~

For the first time in - I have no idea how many years - I watched the Singapore National Day parade. Even though, it was from my new Macbook, webcast from the Internet... It was still the National day parade. There were a few things that I was actually looking forward to see.

The many songs that I grew up listening to like Stand Up for Singapore and some of the Chinese and Indian songs that I learnt at HGS... Those were the memories.. hehe..

Ok.. so this is one time of the year when I feel patriotic enough to say that I am proud to be a Singaporean.. Yes.. just once a year is fine.. But then again, I cant help it if I am a Singaporean, living in Australia.. a Malay Singaporean... who alhamdulillah is well accepted in another country, when she isnt accepted in Singapore.. tsk tsk..

Once again, Happy Birthday Singapura!!~

RIP Pau.. One year on...

It's been a year now that I lost one of my beloved possessions, my PAU. It was a horrible experience in July to August 2009 as life wasnt as I knew it...

At that time, I was thankful that my cousin was around to help me out. Help me to recover my belongings in PAU, cooked for me and physically help me around the house when I could not move and had to lie down most of the time due to the impact of the accident.

It was not my first time to be sent to the emergency.. But then it was my first time sent to the emergency via an ambulance.. LOL..

All in all, alhamdulillah now I have my JAZZ car.. and im really loving it.. Insyaallah God wont take her away like PAU was taken..

Isnt life in Singapore & Melbourne the same??!

A friend of mine from Singapore came to Melbourne for a visit.. AND she brought 2 of her siblings along with her...

It was a nice week having them around. The squabbles on who gets to shower first and who gets to do the laundry.. It amazes me.. So this is what its like to have sisters..??? Well maybe, for a short period of time I could tolerate it.. Thank god it wasnt for a whole month!

Time spent with them made me think twice about my life in Melbourne. Not that Im not loving it.. I am!! Showing them around the some of the great sites around Victoria and how I live.. where I work.. what I do with my spare time.. etc.. I find it abit funny sharing that.. I mean.. isnt life here and in Singapore almost the same? You're just trying to... survive??

Like for instance, save money for the future.. a house maybe? a car.. which I, alhamdulillah, already have.. or perhaps afford to travel all over the world?? What else is there as a single gal.. Either in Singapore or Melbourne?? No, stop laughing.. Seriously?? All we can do is to pray to God that we are healthy, able to work, able to support the family, to support ourselves and that life is good for everyone.. Amin..

Yup.. Im thankful for my life here in Melbourne.. I know for sure that I wouldnt be able to have what I have here back in Singapore.. Who would wanna hire me? Let alone give me a promotion.. OR let me be in a managerial position.. OR pay for a proper 9-5 job.. OR.. not really sure what else is there to compare to.. Im thankful.. AMIN.. Thank you, Ya Allah!~

The Not-so-good wife...

I was watching an episode of the TV series, "The Good Wife" last night and was kinda appalled at one of the bits that they had. Keep in mind that this was my second time "watching" the TV series. "Watching" means as I skim through the TV for something good to watch.

One of the characters, which is a girl, was informing her friend, a boy whose parents were possibly going through a divorce. She said, "You know, if you somewhere down the line, you find that your parents' divorce is getting to you and you want their attention, or get anything that you want, just put this CD on and let them give you everything that you ever dream of..."

This is where she goes on and changed the CD in the CD player. I had a feeling that it was probably some Daft punk song about "killing yourself". The next minute, I realised that it was actually the Azan call for prayer. Yup.. you've read it right. As soon as it went.. "Allah hu akhbar, Allah hu akhbar," my jaw dropped. Literally.

I guess we've come to an age where they (the non-Muslims) have started to make fun of Islam. I dont think its acceptable but then again, I have to face the facts that God has written this. He has foreseen such humiliation Muslims would have to go through.. Unfortunately, the end of the world is nearer.. Insyaallah, God will help us all..
