Unsaid Things.

Today was one of the best days in my life. Today, I got the thing that I wanted most, as for now. Today, this thing came in my mail. :) Ah! Look at the pretty covers... I'm squealing.... ;D

Fifty Shades of Grey.

Image
Have you read this book? Damn, this book is HOT! And by "hot", I mean Christian Grey. Not the....other things. ;) They're turning this book into a movie (now, now, who wouldn't have thought about that??), and now they're searching for a qualified actor to portray the character, Christian Grey. I heard the battle is down to two now; Ian Somerhalder vs Alexander Skarsgard. Both are well-known for being sexy vampires in The Vampire Diaries and True Blood respectively. And I must admit, they both are so damn hot, and have the qualities required to play Mr. Grey. But, I think they really need to consider casting other actors. Probably trying out Shiloh Fernandez? I like that boy! But I think it's sort of impossible to have Shiloh as Christian Grey. :( But whatever it is, I can't wait for the movie. Although I'm 100% sure the movie won't make its way to Malaysia... But there's always internet. ;)

The Hunger Games.

"May the odds be ever in your favor..." The Hunger Games is my new favourite thing. Bought the books 2 weeks ago and spent 10 days reading them all. I spent 5 days on the 1st book (The Hunger Games), 1 day on Catching Fire & 4 days on Mockingjay. I gotta say, I'm hooked. When I started reading it, I was like, "No, I can't go or do anywhere. I have to finish this book." I even read it while I was working at the office. (Sorry, boss!) The books are so addictive, it's scary. I'll re-read it again soon.  Yesterday, I watched the movie with my bro. And ohmygod it was... Amazing. Awesome. Brilliant. Fantastic.  Magnificent . Mind-blowing. It was.....everything. Oh God,  I have so much to say about THG and  I don't even know how to start. Or rather, WHERE to start.... *headdesk* Ok, let's try..  The likes : I always find film never live up to the books expectations, so I've been slightly worried for this movie. It turned...

Dragon Tattoo-ed Girl.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo bt Stieg Larsson" I read the book a few weeks earlier, and I fell in love with it almost instantly. The storyline was so unique it literally blew my head off. I've always been into crime fictions since the very beginning of my "book-collecting era". Crime fictions > romantic novels. And last night, I watched the movie version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I loved it. I love how Rooney Mara portrayed her character as Lisbeth Salander who is highly introverted and has a photographic memory, which is so awesome. But I noticed that there were many holes in the movie. Quite disappointed they didn't include the parts where Mikael Blomkvist had an affair with Cecilia Vanger. And they even shortened the phrase Lisbeth tatttoo-ed on Nils Bjurman's abdomen. It was supposed to be "I AM A SADISTIC PIG, A PERVERT AND A RAPIST", they changed it to "I AM A RAPIST PIG" only. Wtf. And the part whe...

Gifts From Heaven. Sort Of.

Last Sunday, I went to my college in Alor Setar to get these little babies.... :p And I just got the time to use some of the babies today. And these are what I bought. And I still have TWO vouchers left. *wink wink* Book vouchers well-spent? I think so! :D
