Meet Joe Black

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived".

[William Parrish] from the movie, Meet Joe Black (1998)

YES!

YES = Youth Engagement Summit (where politician and ex-master chess player Gary Kasparov spoke too). However, I was more interested in another kind of YES:

YES! YES! YES! = Year End Sale!

Where could be a better place to have your YES than in Suria KLCC. Everything is in KLCC except that when I wanted something from Forever 21, I had to walk across to Pavillion.

And....I got myself a pair of Adizero! I almost bought Nike's LunarGlide but I have always eyed that pair of Adidas.

And hey, come on, even my housemate has a pair!

Hers is red, mine in blue. I wanted the red so badly but that colour sudah sold out!

Then, I went to minum the best kau-kau coffee - in the foodcourt at the 4th floor. Not many ppl know of this good coffee at KLCC unless u work nearby, of course. Callie intro-ed me to this stall actually.

Then, I dunno whether this is part of the YES, but I had the inkling feeling of watching MPO's play, so I bought tics and also to next week's Sunday Matinee where they will feature Schubert, Mozart and forgot what's that Swedish composer di.... Anyway, the theme will be about 'Musical Mysteries' where they will explained why some symphonies were labeled 'Unfinished'). I always wonder that too....and "will the piece just stall halfway?"

I also bought MPO tics on 23rd Dec, where they will play all the Xmas songs and the infamous Nutcracker Suit by that gay composer Tchaikovsky! Petronas staff get discounts. That's why I take this opportunity to go. Let me tell you, a shot of classical/romantic music after YES is the most pampering thing u can ever do for yourself. I believe a shot of coffee should do the same, shouldn't it? :)

My next buy (my heart lept a little here!) would be a Vios. Even Toyota had sales (discount)!Ohhh....YES!!! :

Finished reading Dan Brown's Lost Symbol. Errr...not nice. That's why I struggled to finish it only after 1 month plus. The storyline was not that all interesting with too much ancient secrets/knowledge for me to stomach. It's a forgettable book. Anyway, one statement caught my eye and I remember only this sentence from the entire book: 21.12.2012 will be the end of the world as we (already) know it.

"A rollercoaster ride"

After a bowl's full of kimchi soup and kimchi per se, the gang and I dragged our overload stomachs and asses to watch Phobia 2. We had to fiercely coax Bun to the cinema cause we totally thought that his excuse of having exams soon (on Dec 5th...wtf) was utterly irresponsible (to his fiancee) and unacceptable (to us BFF). Cause that's like 3 weeks away! Oh well, he gingerly followed. And he had to call his beloved housemate. Errrr...!

Phobia looked real scary on the preview, and guess what... it was scary. Phobia 2 consists of 5 short stories of ghosts and what not (e.g. zombies and monsters) and even before the first story began, FP nudged me to leave the cinema. Then she quickly reminded herself that it's like a rollercoaster thing and yet.... not quite: Once you put your ass on the seat, you'd better see the whole movie. Braised up! The horror's just started!

Actually, not that the movie was so very the scary .....but it was because we were sitted quite front, and the sound system ...mind you... was (purportedly) put on 100 decibel higher than a the sound level of normal movie, say....Transformers!! In addition to some really eat-my-heart-out and jump-out-of-your-sit scenes, I also quickly realised that there was no one sitted on my left (which made me go scared and cold at a point) and no one sitted at the row in front of us. So, it was as if the cinema was empty. Creepy! Anyway, most ppl were at 2012. Throughout the entire movie, we were at the edge of our sits. I closed my ears, as usual, while the rest closed their eyes. Hey, I still insist that closing the ears help more than closing your eyes. Isn't it the sound effect that made your heart leap out from your ribcage?!?!?!?!

I pity FP - I leaned myself on her several times. Thank God for hand-rest as dividers, cause if not, we would some how exchange seats at the end of the movie. My head curled-in in fetal position and ears closed most of the time. I was cold too...and kept thinking when will the whole movie end!!???

No spoilers:
Yet I could sleep soundly at night. All due to the final story. Why? Cause the last movie was lighter and easy going, though with some jumps that made me scream like a girl....(ok, i am a girl). I was in love with the final movie due to the storyline. Made me smile, even now.


Here's a photo of the main 4 actors for the final story.


Hey, actually, all the main actor in EVERY story was quite cute.

Psalm Of Caffeine

This is actually one of my fav. verse in the Bible. Memorized!

Psalm 23 (New King James Version)

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

¹ The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

² He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still waters.

³ He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

Forever.
