Movie Review

Continuing my study-procrastinate chronicles, I watched TWO movies yesterday. I bought them since about one month ago though, but rarely had time to watch them. Although this time is no different (I supposedly don’t have time to watch them), but still. Augh, naughty me.

Yeah, I watched Over the Hedge and Monster House. Quite late, yea, and also quite childish because they’re all animation movies, but still, I love animation.

Monster House
From the title itself you should’ve figured what it’s about. Three kids: DJ (Mitchel Musso), Chowder (Sam Lerner), and Jenny (Spencer Locke) discover that the house across the street from DJ's is alive. It eats anything that goes on its property. They try to convince the babysitter (Maggie Gyllenhaal), the police, and some weirdo named Skull (Jon Heder). They try to unravel the mystery of the house and they have to go inside to find that the house is haunted by superfat woman’s ghost (voiced by Kathleen Turner).

From the ‘gembar-gembor’ and all, I thought this film is interesting. But after I watched it myself, yeah, I say it’s really average la. Not giving that much excitement.

Over the Hedge
Traveling raccoon con artist, RJ (Willis), arrives in a woods outside a human city in the Midwest, excited about the wonders that living near humans can bring hungry animals. What he finds, however, is an Amish-like community that is deathly afraid of humans, after their leader, Vern the tortoise (Shandling), has an encounter with human boys that terrifies him. Encouraged by RJ, however, the animals slowly venture over the hedge that separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the winter while they were sleeping, and what RJ shows them is a whole new world where humans leave tin cans full of fish and other food in big canisters, ripe for the taking. As they get closer and closer to humans, however, their comfortable lives in the woods appears to be threatened...

Wow wow, that’s what I call GREAT. Really, it was like, the best animation I’ve ever seen. Uncomplicated plot, cute characters (See those lil’ hedgehogs, so cuuuteee) amazing graphics, and incredible voice act, all those are mingling in this movie. I’m soooo going to watch it again. Recommended to watch. Now I wonder, do they sell the stuffed characters?? If they do, I’ll buy it for sure^^

My New Google Talk

*Naughty naughty Chris is now procrastinate his assignments and study-plan for the next week exams by blogging…

After all those babblings from my friends, finally I downloaded Google Talk software. At first, when I installed it yesterday, I kinda doubt that my uni will allow connection for this messenger, since ye know, MSN Messenger has been banned since few months ago. And Yahoo! Messenger sometimes had error because of the proxy limit, darn… And all they say is,

“Yeah, we can cut our bandwith usage and limit unwanted things distributed through the network via messenger”

And I just ask myself, “What unwanted things sih??? Bodoh them all.”

Yea, at least they didn’t ban Google Talk from running la.
And guess who my very first friend on Google Talk is? Yeah, none other than dearie defiant himself. Naughty me, interrupted him between his study sessions, just to have a lil’ chat, haha. Geez, we will have the exact same exams next week (we are taking the same course, btw), what a coincidence ^^

But our chat was interrupted by a call from my lecturer, waiting for me for that discussion session I mentioned earlier in my last post. So I left defiant back to study again. And when I came back, he was taking a nap :-)

Ah, I must back to study againnnnn…*just realizing I’m wasting my time in front of my computer*

P.S.: All of you, Google Talk user, add me ya. So we could have some chit-chat then^^ My e-mail is cyber.lie@gmail.com

Back to My Busy Life

Today I’m heading back to B-town; leave my beloved J-town and all those holiday pleasures in my home, heading back to the crowded and busy uni life, once again.

Geez, there’s 4 EXAMS waiting for me and of course there’s still holiday assignments which I tried to ignore while I’m in holiday mood these two weeks back. Dunno why, but I always procrastinate every uni-related things while I’m at home. So here’s the list of things awaiting me in next two weeks in uni:

1. 4 EXAMS. All of them are in one week. Arrgggggghhhhh. Even the thought of how thick and complicated the lecture books are makes me frustrated somehow. Since all the pre-holiday lectures I’ve had before the holiday seems to ‘merembes keluar’ from my head. Ed, I need your help with this….. Seriously.
2. Few lecture-assignments-which-are-supposedly-collected-tomorrow-which-I-haven’t-finished-AT-ALL. Blame me.
3. Final group discussion with my laboratorial-advisor lecturer about one of my laboratorial session.
4. Preparation for next laboratorial session.
5. Group meeting with my friends about our group assignments.

My God, please help me getting through all this…Amen.

And btw, I change my template again lor… It’s so amazing how easily bored I am, so I think that’s explains my liking to change my template too often, hehe. D you like it? It has the same base form with the old one though, since I do like the layout. I just modified the template a bit, especially on the background. And if you ever visit my friendster, this background is one I use also there.

'Tante-tante' Chat

I have known that ‘this’ will come eventually.
Ever since I read it on my fellow bloggers’ post about such things, I knew that this will happen.
And finally, ‘this’ happens to me.

Yesterday, some of my relatives and my Ma’s friends did some gathering on my house. As usual, when all those ‘tante-tante’ gather around, chatter and laugh spread around the house. About their children, about who’s marrying who, about divorce, about artist’s latest gossip, and more…
It really was my fault for coming home in this wrong situation. Blame me also for entered through the main door since all the ‘tante-tante’ gathers around there on guest room.

And when I entered the house, everyone was like turning head onto me.
Everyone started to said to me this innocently,
“Wahhhh lil’ Chris is so big now. Do you have a girlfriend, honey???*chatter chatter chatter*

And I tried to smile decorously (which was just looked like a smirk) and answered timidly,
“Umm, no..”

Then my Ma would just reply,
“Ah, don’t tease my son la… Right now he’s too busy on his study. He never thought about such thing la.” *chuckle softly*

And then of course it continued with,
“Aww, he’s so dashing. I can’t believe he doesn’t have one.”*chuckle chuckle*

If only I could say this, “Yeah, right, a girlfriend. That exactly what a gay guy expects.” *soft laugh*
But noooo, everyone would knocked unconscious had I dare enough to say that. Instead, I just said,
“Hehe, thanks for your kudos, Mrs. R. Now, if you all don’t mind, I would take a bath ya. Excuse me.” *soft smile once again*

“Waw, he’s such a well-mannered guy also, how sweet….” Geez

And I also know that it would come one day when everyone start to ask me,
“Ah, you’re an adult now. When will you get married?? Where’s your girlfriend?? Bring her here sometimes, so we could know how she looks like. ”

That’s why I better keep myself away from my Ma’s friends and my relatives. Oh, well…
