Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie....

"Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie", a Walt-Disney production. This movie is from the TV show Wizards of Waverly Place that is aired on Astro's Channel 615 daily. I had high expectations of this movie, because I had always liked their TV shows. Unfortunately, my high expectations did not exactly meet, but it was still okay. The storyline was about them going for a vacation without magic, but the Alex and her brother secretly kept the family wand and the forbidden spell book. One thing led to another during the vacation and Alex accidentally wished their parents never met. And thus, their adventure began looking the "Stone of Dreams" (I think, I can't exactly remember).

It is quite a nice movie to relax and unwind after a long busy day... =)

My Rating for this Movie: 6.5/10

Slow Coaches!!!

I sat for my computer test yesterday. AND I PASSED! =) The test was not as hard as I expected. I passed with bare minimum. The passing mark is 42 or 50, and there are a few of my friends failed, because they missed by a question or two.

When I went to register at about 1 something in the afternoon, the place was already jam-packed with people. I took my number, and guess what number it was already...

The number on the screen was only at 57! I had to wait for soooooooo LONG! By the time I took my computer test, it was about 5 in the evening already. Imagine... I was there at 1 plus, I had to wait for almost 4 HOURS for this stupid exam!

The people working there also work FREAKISHLY SLOW!!!! When someone finishes the exam, it takes the people working there at least 5 minutes to get the next person in. And when it comes to getting the result slip, it takes at least 10 to 30 minutes for them to print it out. In other test centers, you get your result slip as soon as you get out. Why is this test center so different? And why let those taken their exams wait???But oh well, it's over already, thank goodness for that! The main thing is "I PASSED AND I SHALL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN!" XD

I got the details for SUSOM already. =) To tell you the truth, I'm a little scared of going into the big city of KL. I am enochlophobic and agoraphobic. I'll be leaving on the 8th or 9th I think, I don't know how is the arrangement of my transport there like yet. The actual program officially starts on the 11th of January at 9:00 a.m. Oh well, I'm now excited yet afraid! @.@

Anyway, 3 MYF'ers from Alor Setar are going Jeremiah School soon! Please pray for them! =) All the form 5s from MYF are going to be away! Sigh... Let's hope that each of us shall be blessed in our different ways and have different experiences to share when we come back to Alor Setar and touch the lives of others. =)

Arghhhh!!! Undang Test TOMORROW!

I have to at least remember vaguely how many demerit marks will be deducted for certain offenses committed, and some other on-the-road rules!
HELP! =(

G.I.Joe The Rise of Cogra... The Movie.

Another movie I borrowed from Samantha! ^^ She has loads of movies...

The computer-generated graphics were great! The weapons and gadget used were awesome! And if it wasn't for those, my rating for this movie would be much much lower... Something was just wrong with this movie. And I think some of playback scenes of memories weren't quite necessary. And the storyline was so jumbled up, and made me so confused! I actually found the movie boring at some parts despite being filled with so many action-filled scenes.

But the movie got me thinking, if these kind of weapons can be shown in the movie, it's just a matter of time, before in reality, these kind of weapons are developed and used. With these extras, what would be the world like? A scarier place, where humans destroy themselves for power! And that would be the end of the world.

My Rating for this Movie: 6.5/10

MYF Christmas Party... =)

Ah... MYF Christmas Party was a great success! For those you don't know what MYF Christmas Party is... MYF Christmas Party was held on the 23rd of December at Wesley Methodist Church, Alor Setar @ 6:00 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. We had an estimated attendance of 180 people, much more than we expected!God works in mysterious ways! Just days before this party, we were in doubt whether we could get even a 100 people to come. But in the end we had more than we targeted! 100 had seemed impossible, but 180+ came! I don't even know where some of the people came from!

The three lovely ushers @ the registration table.

Stickers were stuck onto the youths who came so that the youths would get to know each other. The ushers also took down their personal details so that in future, we can contact them and tell them any upcoming events of MYF and invite them to join! =)

The crowd (Nobody dares to sit in the front row =P).

We had a little time of worship first, followed by a skit. The skit will be out in youtube soon. The size of the video is about 1 GB +, so you understand that it will take quite awhile to upload it on youtube. Our speaker for the Christmas Party was Aunt Chiam with a message entitled "God's Love". I enjoyed her talk (although I only got to listen to half of it, because I had to go upstairs and help with the food).
We had makan time after the message! I don't have any shots of the food though, my photographer didn't take much there, the ones she took were all blur... =( But oh well, there are some pictures on it on facebook posted by others... =)

After makan time was time for some games and performances! =)

Hazel and Samantha are competing against each other to see who has the nicer smile... Hazel won (but I think Samantha should have won. Her smile is nicer. =P)

I think all of us including the new-comers, enjoyed the games... =) The girls did a tambourine dance. And the worship team then did a sing-along.

I think overall, everyone who attended enjoyed themselves. I also think the ones planning and preparing for this Christmas Party also had a great time practices and fellowship together. We got to know one another better, like Edward, he's still "high" from the skit. haha...

Group Photo!

Look at Su-Yen!!! XP

In conclusion, let's have a BIGGER one NEXT YEAR! =)

New Secret (SP) Restaurant....

Psst! Hey people, wanna know a new secret? Visit the New Secret (SP) Restaurant in Sungai Petani, Kedah! XD It's a restaurant that serves REAL Chinese food (Not Malaysian Chinese food)!This restaurant is located near Village Mall, if you know where I mean. AND!, if you do decide dine at this restaurant, you must know how to speak Chinese, or hokkien!

The veggies, topped with chicken floss.

I somehow do not like this porridge. I do not know why. The texture is much different, compared to the porridge I normally take.

Porridge topped with spring onions...

Chicken in some sauce (I don't know what sauce is it)...

This might take some getting use to. Other than chicken, they serve eel in this kind of sauce too (I think, I saw the other tables all getting their meat in pots).

The appetizers.

The food served here is just not my taste. I do not appreciate this kind of food. I think the origins of this type of cooking is from China, where people eat these kind of foods to keep warm in the winter months. Maybe after you tried the food there, you can give me some feedback of what you think? =)

My rating for this restaurant is 6.5/10.

Lunch @ Sitiawan! =)

I visited my grandparents last Saturday. I got the chance to see my uncle in KL, with my three small cousins! =)

Isn't she cute? =) Small kids are always cute!
We had lunch at this restaurant, called "Restoran Mei Hock", located in the middle of nowhere (to me). Of the whole row of shops, only a few shops are up and running, the rest are just empty lots crying out to be rented out.
This restaurant is located @...This restaurant's menu is different from the other restaurants in Alor Setar, instead of just giving you the names of the food, a picture of the dish is also shown in the menu, making the menu quite thick. I think this is not such a good idea for menus, because the customers would be wasting time flipping through the whole menu, just to order what they want. The food there was quite okay. I liked their salad prawns, and the 5 in one dish.

4 of the dishes. The salad prawn dish is located at the bottom left of the four. =)

Another 4 dishes. I did not like the fried brinjal (top right corner) and the chicken (bottom left corner).

Overall, the food was rather good. I must say I pretty much enjoyed it. The gave us free soya-bean jelly as desert too! =)

My rating for this restaurant would be about 7.5/10.

Another picture of my cousin! =) He's cute, right?

Been Watching Movies Lately... =)

Been watching movies lately, something I have not done since the month before SPM started. These two movies were graciously lent by Samantha... =)

First movie... "Taken".
A very nice movie! This show is about a retiree of an CIA employee, divorced. He has a daughter, and she goes to Paris with her friend Amanda. His daughter gets kidnapped by human traffickers. He goes to Paris and saves his daughter.

This movie has non-stop action! Plenty of shooting! It also shows how much a father would go through just to save his daughter.

My Rating for this movie: 8/10.

Next movie... "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past".
I somehow find this movie rather boring comparing to the movie "Taken". This movie is about a playboy, making girls love with him. Once they fall in love with him, he dumps them. At one time, he breaks up with 3 women at a time. He attends a wedding of his brothers, and nearly ruins it. 3 ghosts visits him, and he is a changed man.

I find the storyline a little lame and boring. It's somehow like copied from Mr. Scourge, just that this is a different scenario. Oh well...

My rating for this movie: 5/10

A Random Shot @ Gurney Plaza! =)

A random shot @ Gurney Plaza. I like this picture! What say you?Back to Part 2 of my recent Penang Trip... I bought an SAT book that cost RM 99.90 @ MPH & Christmas candy! After walking tirelessly at Gurney Plaza, we headed to New World Park @ Lorong Swatow for dinner!
There is a hawker center in New World Park. Looking at the number people eating there, I think the food there must be quite nice. There is even a store there selling wooden carvings and old stuffs, like old coins and postcards.

My family and I decided to try something new, so we headed to Passions of Kerala, an Indian restaurant, originating from North India I think.
The food there was okay larh, I guess. I think the food at Cennai Curry House in SP is much nicer. But, I think that is because of my lil sis, my mother asked the waiter to lessen on the usage of chilli. I think I would have prefered it to be more spicy.

The main set with different veggies.

Additional Dishes.

I think the food was overall okay. The service was great! But, I would think twice before going there again though.

Christmas is in 3 DAYS!

MYF Christmas Party is TOMORROW!

Penang Trip... =) [Part 1]

P.S. I have been busy lately. I have been meaning to update my blog, but somehow couldn't find the time.

It has been a long time since I have been to Penang, I think the last time I went was when MYF organized the trip the Penang Hill. My parents decided to bring me there just for fun, some more it was in between exam, before my Chinese paper. The first picture I took when I arrived at Penang. A vandalized traffic light, with all the stickers of the available offers to lend money. We headed to Gurney Plaza. There was a show on, about Dragon Ball in Gurney, it was pretty noisy!

We had lunch at Seoul Garden, my EX-FAVORITE place to makan...
The lovely lovely food.... My parents then went shopping, while I just followed them here and there. It was pretty tiring just to walk. It's been a long time since I walked that long! I tried ice=cream from a store called Gelatissimo. I think it's ice-cream from Aussie.
The ice-cream! 3 different flavours in one! It was just simply yummy! =)
You should try it when you head down to Gurney Plaza. It's located at the same row as Dome.
I'll blog about the dinner I had later... =)

SPM Over, What Next?

SPM is OFFICIALLY over for me! I finished my Chinese papers yesterday. The Chinese papers are getting tougher and tougher as the years go by. This year, they revamped the papers, instead of having more objective questions in Paper 2, there are more subjective questions. I think in a few years time, Paper 2 will be tested all in subjective format.

Christmas is round the corner! I'll be pretty busy this Christmas with caroling practices, skit practices and all.

Oh, who wants to come for my MYF's Christmas Party?
It's on the 23rd of this month. It starts at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m. at WMC.
Do contact me. =)

My SPM is Unofficially Over!

One more subject to go! Two more papers to go! I can't wait for 14th at 12:30 noon, I'll be free from exams (for the time being)! One more dreaded subject, Chinese. I don't even know why I take Chinese when there is a high possibility of not passing this subject.

Anyway, Tim and gang are going YLDP today, and Sam is going for HEROS camp. I wanna go! But I still have exams! :( Never mind, I'm going for SUSOM in Jan! =)

17 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!

Hey! FarmVille is bigger than Twitter!

Can you believe it? I was reading from TechRadar just now.

Facebook: FarmVille is bigger than

Twitter

Big numbers revealed, as the site hits 350 million users

What is the world coming to? This statistics are really mind-blowing! Bigger than TWITTER??? Imagine spending an hour a day on FarmVille. In a week, you will have spent 7 hours on it. In a month, a day plus 7 hours (assuming the month has 31 days)! In a year, you would have spent 15 days and 5 hours on it! Imagine the time wasted, just to farm online, which does not bring you anything except pleasure for that few minutes.
