(Good Vibes Festival : Part 2)

8pm

After all the rockin' and screaming, I was excited to see the next act. I've been meaning to see them for quite some time since I've stumbled upon their music video a little over 3 years ago.

I lap you!!

The 1975 was infront of my eyes. Like, I shit you not! Unfortunately, my foot was not comfortable as I stood on an uneven ground and there's this dude infront of me who wouldn't stop recording the whole show. And I could barely look passed his armpit. And he was soo close to me, that he was not being considerate when he was dancing. You sir, are a major party pooper! Regardless, Matty and of course, the band were awesome!! (*droll)

The next act FFK Malaysia the last time (as it was mentioned that one of the band members were not well on that day), but they're finally here!!

Two Door Cinema Club!!! *faint

At this point, I felt like I really wanted to faint (like literally). My back was aching and my stomach does not feel good. I was having cold sweat and knew that something wasn't right. I guess, being at a crowded place in a long period of time doesn't give me any good. Plus, the shows were back to back and everyone had to maneuver from one stage to another. Despite it all, I've completed my missionnn!

Day 2

I am sleep deprived at this point! Hey!

The second day mood was a bit mellow. So, I focused on munching the foods as well as explored the festival.

Wuzz dat?

My main focus on that day was to see my favourite Australian duo who I've missed their comeback gig when I was travelling to Melbourne last summer (Aussie season).

And they've played beautifully!

G'day Angus and Julia Stone!

They had couple of audio difficulties at the beginning but they were being cool about it. They sang some of the old ones and the new. And they rocked hard!

Overall, the festival was neat. They had chairs everywhere which was convenient and some fun stuff too! Like games, trampoline, slides and stuff. I missed the temporary tatts provided by the Topshop booth which was a bummer. And the weather was really nice! The ranch was a perfect place for music fest like these! Can't wait for what's in store for next year!

P/s: I saw couple of girls who decided (in their clouded, deluded mind) that taking a leak by the bushes were a good idea. Unfortunately for me, I saw them. And my eyes were effected for couple of days. Be civilized people!

*disclaimer : I only cover the main bands/performance that I intended to see. Overall, every bands that played were great!

Still can't get over it =.="

Last weekend, Good Vibes Festival 2016 (GVF) was held at The Ranch @ Genting Highlands. It was one of the music festival that I've been wanting to go since they've brought in Death Cab for Cutie last February (unfortunately, I couldn't go as I was away in Aussie). And since I couldn't get tickets to see Tame Impala (organised by Urbanscapes), I chose to invest on joining into this festival. Plus, Urbanscapes wasn't really doing a main 1 day event like they've done it in their previous years (I went to see their art exhibit instead). The first band I heard coming to GVF was Two Door Cinema Club. Little did I know, the list goes on and the bands are to die for (for me atleast)! Thus due to this overwhelmed feeling of withdrawal, I've decided to take you all to the day I get to see the bands that I've been in love with.

1st day - 4pm - 12/8/2016

Tryna blend in to the crowd.

I got to the festival at about 5pm. Little did I know that the organisers were having technical difficulties and had to delay the schedule. I saw couple of people were denied access after their ID got checked. I guess they're not old enough to get in or maybe couple of months short. Regardless, I got in without a hiccup. The first thing I look for was food! While munching away, local bands were playing on the stage, visitors took their pictures at various booths (looking like a coachella goddess!), jumping on trampolines and sliding on a blowup slides. It was wonderful!

SEVEN COLLAR FREAKIN' TSHIRT! Photo via All is Amazing (check out their other cool photos!)

Seven Collar Tshirt was one of the local bands who played and one of my favourites. They were amazing (within their 30minutes set)! Soon after, another band played for another 30 minutes. There were no breaks, band played from one stage to another. Did I tell you that they have 2 main stages, sitting next to each other? Honestly, maneuvering from one stage to another were tiring especially when you have to constantly fight your way in to get a good spot to stand on.

6pm

Excuse my excessive grinning-ness. I'm with Dougi Mandagi from The Temper Trap yall!

I was sitting casually on the left side of the Red Stage and comes this majestic-hair-man, merging out from the corner. Me and my partner were freaking out, like a bunch of groupies. We took quite sometime to decide whether or not we could approach him (creeper) and take a picture. Honestly, no one noticed him. There was this dude casually sitting beside him while I walk (nervously like a schoolgirl approaching her crush) towards him wondering if he would ask us to leave him alone or go with it. And thankfully, being such a cool guy, he let us disturb his moment and take some photos.

And The Temper Trap performed.

It was awesome! The band played couple of new numbers, as well as the oldies. And of course, Sweet Disposition was played. He crowd surfed, I got elbowed on my face. Ahaha!

I will continue on part 2. Stay tuned...

It's Hard to Get Around the Wind

by Alex Turner

I told myself again and again that I need to do something to distract myself and not let the tiredness gets in the way. I need my me time and I chose this blog to become one of my outlets to do that. However for some reason, I've became fearful of what people would think of it. It never occurs to me that I would felt this way knowingly that my mental issues had already been out in the open. Coming out to people was hard and I was blessed with those who would held my had and told me that they will be there for me no matter what. Years gone by, people that I love started to feel frustrated. They didn't convey it verbally however being the sensitive person I am, I almost could see it in their eyes. It sounded like, "Oh my God! Here we go again!" And I don't blame them, honest. As I get frustrated about stuff too, like listening to the voices inside my head.

Slowly, I close my door. Slowly, I build up walls. Slowly, I started wearing a new mask. Slowly, my body would react violently towards little things like lightning, loud noise and so on. My senses amplified but my heart, my confidence, my strength and my dignity became small. And yet, I blamed myself because I have few people who despite their frustration, is still rooting for me at the moment.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. - Marcus Aurelius

It's been quite a rough year for me. Career wasn't going where I've expected and I walked out the second it went south. Told myself that I need to take care of me and I can't afford to go down that road again. Although I haven't been able to get a grip on my stability, I took a chance and did things that I've always wanted to such as:

1. Continuing my degree

That's my 5 years plan!

It wasn't easy. Sacrifices had to be made. Thankfully, the people that I care about were behind me 100% when I made that decision. Bachelor of Communications with Honours, 5 years, 3 semesters each. Not so bad, I guess? Even one of my favourite Youtuber Marzia Bisognin is continuing her studies, why can't I? Gambatee!!!

I still have other things to sort out before I start my classes and assignments (never thought I would go through that again)! Plus, I'll be starting a new career path soon. Insya Allah.

2. Travel to a place where I can use my bomber jacket again!

This place has been on my wish list for quite some time and it would require me to dig up all of my winter clothes (yang telah lama berkubur bertahun lamanya)! If that doesn't happen, I'll go back to my favourite island of Lombok. *cross fingers*

3. New baby

Hi! My name is Ali :)

This little fella fell from 2 stories high when he was just 1 month old. Now he's 4 months old, healthy and hyper active! Technically, he's my sister's cat. However, never would I've imagined that I would be living with a feline.

4. Give back to the community

I've been going around, searching for ngos or communities (close to my heart) that I could volunteer with. I took a chance and applied to one. Still waiting for them to get back to me and hopefully I'm able to start soon. :)

5. Modelling?

Natural wind required. // Top & skirt by Zara. Shoes by Escada

Never the type to pose my outfits and 'model' on instagram or any other social media. I would rather take other people's photos or hold the lighting for them. The last time I did that was years ago and it was a favour for a friend. You might see more of me here (Elixir by Zura Abdullah).

6. Minus debts, add savings

I'm not blessed with financial stability (as you may all know). And I'm not the type of person to actually ask for money. Unfortunately, I have the tendency of giving too much even if I only have so little in my wallet. That's my weakness. Eventually, I ended up seeing the negatives instead of the positives (math-wise). I'm determined to change that by end of the year. Those who owe me, this might be a good time to pay me back. Please?

7. Gym

I've signed up to Chi Fitness (thanks to my sister) and been trying to convince myself to start activating my muscles. I desperately need to get back to my workout schedule.

So much to do, so little time. :)

Here’s a story about boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl, and girl falls for him to. They got married and live a comfortable life in the suburbs. Girl got a big job working as a secretary for a big company. Boy got jealous and started to accuse Girl of being unfaithful. Girl became defensive; Boy hits her so that she would shut up. Girl has to live with the scar for almost a week.

Now here’s another story. Boy goes steady with Girl who he loved since high school. Boy lost his job and had to stay home for a while. Girl got frustrated, started to call Boy unpleasant names and threaten him. Boy goes into depression due to him feeling worthless.

Which scenarios do you find serious and needs to be reported? A or B?

WRONG. Both scenarios are bad. But the question is, where can they go from here? Most Malaysians refuse to report these acts due to the fear of being judged, being called weak and also shame. What would the society think? What about their family? And for some reason, what about their spouse's/partner's family?

Lets break the stigma and move towards being able to save yourself from abuse, regardless if its physical or mental, even if you’re a woman, a man or even children. Everybody deserves to be happy and everybody deserves freedom.

Marriage. Kahwin. Tua. Leave me alone!

As you aged (as a female), you can't help but to talk about marriage. Get married and build your house together with that someone special. Eventually, having mini-me's running around the house. However when your friends can't stop talking about it, you've decided that enough is enough!

It's not that I'm against marriage or anything. I mean, I'll admit that it does sounds fun to have someone to wake up in the morning to, joke around, annoy and to share a goal that most people would think silly with.

Not to be a sour puss but ladies, there's more to life than your marriage! "But Aisyah, you haven't really experienced the true feelings of being married. You wouldn't understand."

Yes my friends, I would never understand it until I get married myself. I would never understand the urge to tell someone what my husband did last night, or what my kid ate yesterday, or how my kids look (yesterday, today and tomorrow included). However the harsh reality is my friends, there is such thing as too much information. That includes listening to your 'bedroom stories'. For education purposes, why not! But, there's a very fine line to it.

And then there's no news, tak-nampak-batang-hidung kinda friends. I respect that they prefer to remain private with their personal lives after marriage. But remember this, who was the person who listened to your rambling when you had problems with your future husband? Who was the person who was there when you needed to go out and stuffed yourself with ice cream? There's nothing wrong with returning the favour once in a while (not that I'm asking for it, but you know).

And again, I'll admit that I wouldn't understand it until I'm there. What I could say is that, no matter what situations you may be, don't forget the people who supported you and helped you when you decided to tie the knot. And also, please be considerate to those who aren't. Regardless, I'm always one call away. <3 p="">

Just don't. Peace out!

Hey hey!

Have you ever been in a situation where your level of boredom and frustrations are out of this world that you've decided to bake baklava cos' it's oh so yummy? Me neither.

As I'm currently on my soul searching/cleansing/wasting money that I don't have activity, I've brought myself to the famous land of Sydney. It was quite a warm, lovely weather, unlike Canberra. (Which I went last month and was freezing my ass off!)

Me with my 'tourist pose'

I went to the Sydney Opera House and walked along the Sydney Harbour. It was breathtaking! Took me about 15 to 20 minutes walk from Darling Harbour but it was worth it. Reward myself with a nice Salty Caramel Milkshakes from Guylian.

Happy face around seafood delights.

Sydney Fish market is a must go place! Went there for breakfast and had my very first fresh out from the sea seafood! Below is exhibit A.

Look at that monstrosity!!

Ended my day with a quick dip at Bondi Beach. Saw my 1st topless bikini girl there. Very interesting. Ahaha!

Have a wonderful day y'all! Xoxo

Let's talk about mental health. For some, the topic seems like a waste of time. Because in our society, mental illness associates with craziness. People would always have general(ignorant) things to say about it. When you say Tanjung Rambutan asylum, people would think that's a place where people are capable of going amok and terrorize the whole neighborhood one day. When someone kill themselves or attempt suicide, others would say "Small thing only, want to make drama issit?"

Do you know that about 10% of Malaysian suffers from mental illness? I'm no doctor but that's quite a number. And yet, no one wants to talk about it simply because its taboo. And no parent wants their sons or daughters to be associated with this type of people. But, what type of people are they? They go to the supermarket to get their groceries like everyone else, they watch that reality shows every weekend, they like to hangout at the bookstore to find that new book you read on Oprah's book club and so on. The difference are, they have to fight their way through everything.

Due to this misconceptions, those who are suffering chose to cover their dark shadows either by wearing a mask everyday or isolate themselves with the world. It's quite sad really as they're desperate to live their life peacefully. They don't want to be judged as weak or crazy. They don't want to be treated differently like they're some sort of an alien from outer space. Encourage them but don't criticize.

Unfortunately, we have a long way to go to change people's perceptions on mental illness. Different from other countries, they would advertise places(publicly, on national television) to help with depression, anxiety and even classes for people who would like to understand mental illness. But, a lot of people I've met would say that this is just a white-person's-propagandas illness. In other words, there's no such thing.

With a new look(and hopefully good attitude) I've decide to go back to square one. Both my life and this blog are going through quite a transition to a different, unknown, horrifying angle. Yes, it might sound foolish and irrational however, I've decided that it's time to put the past behind and move forward. When I started this blog, my intentions were out of the place. I wanted to write for myself, write to inspire and unfortunately, write to get enough attention hoping someone would drop a comment. It seems that times have changed and people are more drawn to specific topics like politics, weddings and even cats! Not that I don't like cats but you get the point. So I've decided to focus on the specifics and hopefully able to stick to my plan. New stories every week, Insyallah. Love, aisyah x

How strange life could be sometimes. How little things that you've appreciated would start appreciating you back! However, I do sometimes feel the need to hold myself back. To not let myself devour on the sweetness of temporary things. But is it temporary? Imagine if you've been wanting to fly your whole life. You've been waiting for that one moment to have that courage and own yourself a pair of wings. When you've been given that pair of wings, you try it out, and off you go! You'll feel like you have been reborn, rejuvenated.

But the moment you land, you start to worry.

What if this pair of wings doesn't want to fly anymore? What if my body grows bigger, and my beautiful wings won't be able to carry me? What if...

Regardless, that feeling of being able to fly, be free - makes you believe that its OKAY. That there is a possibility of getting abandoned by your own wings, but there is also a possibility that it'll stay with you forever. It'll eventually become a part of you when you least expected. And when that happens, are you still going to think it's gonna be temporary?

Nobody knows how to predict the future, but it is best to let it be a mystery. And that, is the best feeling a human being could ever experience. From my point of view at least.

Love is a wonderful thing. Love creates a bond between two people and connects them in a lot of ways. With this connection, humans unintentionally would share every bits and pieces of themselves with their significant other, and vise versa. To those who are no so lucky, they would intentionally create some sort of distraction just to survive. Well, no one wants to be lonely at the end of the day. Some has the guts to climb onto an unknown territory known as dating.

But how do you know whether its worth it for you to take the next step with that person? What happens if you have all of this time and expectations, only to find that it won't turn up the way that you've always wanted?

I shall run to my pillow fort now!

There Goes The Fear

2013-12-26T01:26:00.001+08:00

by Doves

2013 is coming to an end. How time flies and how we've learned about life each day. We redefine things that suits our beliefs and our lifestyles. And as we aged, we tend to see things differently, or trying to. Again, we make new friends and bid farewell to some. This is what I've learned this year:

- Its okay to stumble. What matters the most is that you pick yourself up, and continue to walk again.
There's alot of things that could trigger you emotionally. You can't run away from the things that would eventually stress you out. Regardless, you'll have to choose to face it and not run away. Because if you run, that fear would eventually greet you again like an old friend.

- Happiness comes from yourself. Don't depend it on others.
People have their own shit to think about. Yes, there is people who would care about your shit to. But they can't always be there 24/7. By the end of the day, you would have to find your own happiness in order to believe that you are standing on your two own feet.

- Love yourself before you can love someone else.
Yes, you might find someone who's as fucked up as you are. But if you don't love yourself, how in the world you can make that person love you. Because the reality is, you expect that person to love you just the way you are although subconsciously, you are rejecting the idea. Acceptance is the key. Although you're not born with a bodacious rack and a hot junk, there's something beyond the physical image that sets you off from the others. Love yourself because you're unique.

- Money is never everything. Although you are thought that money is important.
Don't deny the fact that money can give you security, can take you to places and can provide food and shelter. But don't put money on the top of your pyramid (pie chart or whatever). Although it's nice to have fancy things, eat at a fancy restaurant, but it would only gives you a short period of satisfaction. Then, you would want more. But it's always hard to sustain that feeling because like I said, it's short.

- You body is your crown jewel.
It's very important to take care of yourself, health wise. You'll come to a point where your body starts to rebel. Every junk that you've consume for years and your unstable lifestyle can ruin your youth. Everybody would start to age, but every individual aged differently. Exercising and eating healthy food can do you wonders.

- Honesty is a lonely word. But essential.
Be true to yourself like you are to others. If you know that you have a problem, be honest and take action. Don't convince yourself that you are just imagining things. Its the same as when you tell someone that you're having a problem, the only reply you've got was 'it's all in your head'. Don't put yourself down by rejecting YOU!

- The grass is always greener on the other side.
If things doesn't work out as it is supposed to, doesn't mean that life is going against you. I'm a true believer of there's always a reason for everything. Things doesn't work out because better ones are yet to come. Be patient. Life would always surprise you with it's wonders. Embrace the good and the bad.

- Whether you believe in The Almighty or not, faith is important like the air that you breathe.
Personally, I do believe in God as he is the sole reason of my existence. And I'm thankful each day that He had granted me another day, whenever I wake up in the morning. Although you can't see Him physically but with faith, you know that He is there. Every religion (or individuals) have their own sets of believes, but having faith can always give you the ultimate comfort and peace.

I shall list down things that I'm looking forward to do for 2014 soon. Insyallah.

Girls They Wanna Have Fun

2013-07-16T11:11:00.001+08:00

by Cory Monteith (original by Cindy Lauper)

I have soo much things to catch on like my reviews! Been watching a few movies as I only manage to get limited free time. But today, I have to let something out of my system.

Dear Cory Monteith, the most lovable actor and charater on Glee has departed from this world on July 13th. Cause of death is yet to be revealed however most people are assuming that he has lost his battle of drug and substance use. It been awhile since I felt like a story like this just hit me straight to the guts. I was surprised when I found out, started checking his tweets which I've checked a day before also googling the news.

Although I have no relation with him and my reaction is like a little fangirl-ish, but I've always been respecting him on how he build up his life from a high school dropout to a major actor.
And I'm not afraid to admit that I am a gleek, I even named my car Rachel Berry. Such a pity for someone whose equally talented and kind-hearted to go at a young age. And Lea. I can't imagine the emotions that she's facing right now. As Finchel was the golden couple of Glee, Monchele was the young golden couple of hollywood. And watching Cory declaring his relationship to Lea Michele on Ellen are just too sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.

RIP Cory Monteith, you will be missed. (1982-2013)

"...he took a midnight train, going anywhere"

will post films review soon. promise!

As 2013 coming towards us, 2012 has already bid it's own farewell. Especially the fiasco about the Mayan apocalypse and such. There is so many things to recap about this year. A lot of ups and downs, roller coaster rides, although I was determined to make 2012 a little bit boring for once. However, what I am most satisfied about is the fact that I've completed my 2012 New Year's resolution! Alhamdulillah!! All of the sweat and tears has finally been paid off. And without further or due, I would like to reveal my 2012 resolution:

1. Buy a car - I finally manage to get a car! She's a MyVi Premium 1.3, purple in colour and her name is officially.... Rachel Berry! (coz she feels like she's a star and a little bit of a show off. But I love her anyways! :D)
2. Get a stable job - Although it was hard, but I had to say goodbye to the production world. Maybe for now, I'm not sure. However, I am happy with where I am right now. It's a phase for me to explore and who knows, life might take me somewhere that I never thought I would go to.
3. Be Happy - Despite everything that has happened to me, I chose to move one step ahead. I'm still trying to let go bits of my past but I come to realize that I just need to let go all of these baggage that I've been dragging for years.

Merry Christmas and have a Happy Holiday!!

Give Me Love

I've been following this blogger for quite some time now. She gives me inspiration on what to wear and also her achievements at a young age is very aspiring. As I was doing my usual routine (come home, watch my favourite tv shows, ramble through Youtube and other social network) I saw an update. Reading THIS made me think for a second. A lot of questions asked, a lot of uncertainties, a lot of 'if's. All of this would not only twist your brain, your heart, your sanity. It would also makes you question yourself. Are you that worth it to be experiencing something so powerful yet so destructive as this?

Humans live to love. Love is the most subjective thing that people would just define it in several ways as they felt it's suited for them. Love could be being with that special someone, sharing your moments, past, present and future with them. Love can be giving something that you have just because you feel like they are the less fortunate. Love could be watching somebody you cared deeply, happy, even though you're not the one who's giving it to them. Love can also be letting go, for the benefit of others and yourself. Love is life.

I'm not good when it comes to love. I've always been searching for things that I find impossible to get my hands on. I'd almost defined myself as a girl who wants something that she knows that she couldn't have eventually became obsessed over it. Yes, I went that low, girls have their phrases right? But then, when you think about it, sometimes we just don't know the actual meaning of love. Love is not something physical like the rain, love is not invisible like the wind, but one thing that they have in common is, YOU CAN FEEL IT.

I just wish that love could break all barriers in my life, so I could find peace in love.

It's been a while since I've updated this. Been working, so I tend to sleep very early. Felt like I'm one of those characters in a movie where my life revolves with waking up very early, taking the bus, work on a desk, go back, be miserable in my room while eating lots and lots of chocolate. (Wait! That is technically what I've been doing this couple of months.) Anyway, what made me different from those girls in the movies is that, there would be a moment, a scene, where a high-profile, successful man suddenly comes out of nowhere bumps into this miserable woman. They fell in love, and the story goes on. But not me, nope. I rather have a relationship with myself. And high-profile dude? Won't happen.

I recently discovered that there's something missing in my life. I had a very hard week and I didn't know how to pick myself up. Then I realized that what made me more miserable is expectations. Whether it's big or small. So I opened up to my girls, my besties. I re-gain that strength slowly, and started to walk. Even though it's hard but I had to keep going, leaving everything behind, I had to. I realized as well that it's okay for me to feel what I'm feeling right now, coz that what makes me human. I had this thought for a short period of time that I might finally be a heartless bitch for once. Someone that doesn't care about other's feelings, others that doesn't know me well enough to share my pain, my happiness. I am, again, in a sort period of time, disappointed.

I shall go and snuggle under my blanket now. Au Revoir.

LOOPER : DIRECTED BY RIAN JOHNSON
(WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

Looper is a story about a group of assassins signed to assassinate targets that has been sent by a criminal organization from the future. Looper's job is to terminate the targets so that the targets are whipped out, clean, like they don't even exist. However, things went south when Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) failed to terminate one of the target which was himself in 30 years time. Enough of the introduction, let's get down to business!

There were a lot of shots that I love about the movie! The camera work was great! My favorite was during Joe and his friends were doing this liquid-type drug and the camera just went 360 degrees. For someone who had never experience drug abuse, it showed me how marvelous it is to be trippin' with whatever they were taking. There were several shot using long lenses to get that great depth of field, especially when they want to focus on that big guns! Usually, Hollywood films like to use cool colours(bluish) to get that futuristic feel but this one is just nice. Even during the future scenes.

From the surface, time travel is the most fucked up thing to begin with. However my personal view of the story is that during a time of desperation, people's mind can easily focus on the negativity. The need to seek vengeance. They do not realize that it could only bring more pain in their lives and also, would bring out the worse in others. The whole past-future frenzy and different individual's motives in this film were planned nicely and if you really pay attention to the storyline, you wouldn't get lost at all. And the action sequence are nicely done, with a hint of coolness and unexpectedly awesome! Bravo to Rian Johnson for having this crazy idea 3 years ago!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting is amazing! I'm not saying that just because I totally adore him, but his portrayal of the younger version Bruce Willis (Old Joe) is just remarkable. And those prosthetic makeup does not make him any less hotter! I almost forgot that he is actually regular Joe and not some dude who freakishly resembles Willis! As always, Bruce Willis has always been the great action movie star. He can be vulnerable and kick-ass at the same time! Emily Blunt (Sara); a young mother that you don't want to mess with (love her American accent)! Pierce Gagnon (Sid) is soo damn adorable, and scary at the same time!

There's a lot more things to talk about this film(pay attention to the art details, like solar powered cars etc).I would highly recommend you guys to watch this as this is the Anti-Hero movie that would leave you breathless! It's nerve wrecking, unexpected, twisted and heart-warming. Enough said!

P/s: When the movie finished and the lights in the cinema went on, everybody was quiet. I think the audience was trying to digest the story and it took them a while to do it. I find that amusing! :D

It was a series of unfortunate event I would say,
Then we've decided to create a game and started to play,
You were leading and I was catching up,
Not sure who was suppose to be on top,
Somehow rather it became a race,
You were speeding up however I got lost in my own pace,
You've tried to explain the rules and regulation,
I wanted to break it but I made this an exception,
I believed that this time would be different,
Until I started to follow the current,
That rocky river where the waters were rough,
You tried to save me, you thought you were tough,
Nether of us had any clue what we're doing,
Destination is in front of you and you had to keep on going,
You got torn, I was loosing confidence,
You were loosing your balance, I was loosing my patience,
By then I was already at the riverbank,
By then I didn't even care where I've rank,
In this ladder you've always talked to me about,
Nevertheless, you tried to ease all my doubt,
I convinced you that maybe it's not meant to be,
That the future is a mystery that we're unable to see,
Maybe it's time to take a different way,
You told me that I was being too cliche,
"But that's life dear. How hard it is, we'll have to move on,
And do me a favour, do not leave me with a frown"

Howdy Ho!!

First thing first!! For the past few months, I seldom watch movies (for several unexplained situations) however here are some few one liners (or more) about couple of films that I saw throughout the year (non-sequenced, because I'm forgetful and that lazy)!! Leggo!!

1. Dark Knight Rises - Must watch! Not as hype as the previous one however it ended great. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman aka Selina is just (wait for it!) Badass!! Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adorable yet you do not mess with his brain. Christian Bale is by far my favourite Batman aka Bruce Wayne.

2. The Avengers - Non-stop action/comedy/drama. Been waiting for this film to come out since last year! Watch until the very end of the movie. Droll over all of the superheroes (especially Robert Downey Jr.) and Shawarma!

3. Total Recall - Shit just got real for this one! Non-stop (and I mean, Non-Stop!) action sequence. Nothing too messy, the pacing was just right. Lots of cat fights and Colin Farrell's confused face!

4. Battleship - Not feeling it that much, but I like how they've planned their attack towards the aliens with numbers and codes. After all, this movie is based on the popular board game, Battleship.

5. Prometheus - If you love films by Ridley Scott, then you'll enjoy this film. Although the story was quite similar to Aliens, but I read somewhere that this was supposed to be the prequel for Aliens. That explains alot because the whole story is just too 'Alien'. Not really my favourite though.

6. The Amazing Spider-Man - Andrew Garfield... droll!! Also, I prefer this version of Spiderman. Sorry Toby!

7. Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Part 1 - Same old... same old. NEXT!!

8. Brave - I now declare my love to the badass-big-curly-hair-princess-with-a-badass-archery-skill!!! Nuff said!

9. Snow White and The Huntsman - The only actor I'd noticed was Charlize Theron because she's Karayyzayylyy good!!

10. Wanderlust - If you're looking for a light comedy, then you should watch this!

11. This Means War - Who wouldn't want to fight for Reese Witherspoon?? I enjoyed watching this.

12. Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter - I like the story and actions. What bothers me was the fact that they've used an actual American figure as the main character. I'm not sure whether its a parody or.... (still confused)

13. Mirror Mirror - Lily Collins is just too adorable!!! Julia Roberts me love!

14. Being Flynn - I broke down after watching it. It's just too close to home. Remarkable storyline. Paul Dano and Robert DeNiro is just too awesome! Seriously a good film!!

I think that's about it!! I might missed out some couple more films but I'll be back whenever I manage to remember them! Enjoy!!!

P/s: Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. :D
