Ghosts of Girlfriends Past


Caught this movie mid-week.

It was as expected, a warm, fuzzy romantic comedy. The plot was paper-thin, the acting was irritating at some parts (McConaughey is just a little too "southern" for my liking).

The movie had a whole Christmas-feel to it as it was set in winter, and if you know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge - you will know how the plot goes. So somehow, it felt out of place in June, in the middle of a heatwave. Perhaps, they could have released the film some other time?

All in all, it was entertaining, and recommended as a date movie. =)

Oh, a line from the movie.

The power in a relationship lies in the party who loves less. But you can't find happiness with power.

So just give up control. And just go with the flow. (last 2 lines are mine)

A New Take on H1N1

Tioman


Went for my first leisure dive over the weekend. Tioman is nice, and it helps that it is a marine park, so there is much more life underwater.

Saw a wide variety of live coral, juvenile fish, a family of batfish, a green turtle... etc.

Accommodation was acceptable, better than my last dive trip to P. Aur anyway. At least this time, I couldn't feel the frame of the bed!

What I don't understand is why people who don't dive visit Tioman. There is nothing to do there at all! Sure, you can snorkel, but thats not really something interesting in my opinion. Other than that, there are a few bars, but they are just sit down and drink watch tv type of bars.

That said, my resort was crowded!

Time to plan for the next trip! =)

Caught in the Act!


Those b*stards from that sandwich place that sounds like an MRT. =P

Link from Miss Cellania

"-_- - Funny

A mother worries that her teenage daughter is having sex and might get pregnant, so she consults several parenting websites for advice.

Later that evening, as her daughter prepares for a date, the mother sits down to talk with her. "I know you are adult enough to make the right decision about your body. But I want you to please try to abstain from sex until you're married. If you must have sex, then please use protection."

Feeling proud of herself for being so pro-active, the mother hands her daughter a box of condoms.

The daughter laughs and hugs her mother. "Oh Mom! You don't have to worry about that! I'm dating a girl!"

Terminator: Salvation



Due to popular request, I caught this movie over the weekend. I had not intended to watch it and in fact, had never caught any of the previous franchises.

The movie was mildly entertaining. I mean, action flicks can do very little wrong.

But I understand why the reviews of the movie are so bad. Like my friend, LO commented at the end of the movie, there was overacting on the part of Christian Bale. The dude needs to take a chill pill and stop acting in all these "I am the avenger" kind of roles (ala The Dark Knight). Really, for the sake of his mental health.

The ending was abrupt and completely predictable. I mean, there was only 1 biological part of the android, guess which one they were going to take?

There were several plot loopholes - terminators get blown up by magnetic mines, but motorcycles don't?

There were 2 parts where I burst out laughing (and it wasn't at any funny scene). I laughed out loud just because it was so lame. And they both involve the T-800 (guess which scenes?)

All in all, don't catch this movie, unless you really have nothing to do.

In that case, go read a book. Haha.
