Sandler Does It Again!!

"YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN!!"
(Sandler as Zohan, hypnotising his clients sexually)


Sandler does it again~! This time taking the role as Mossad agent Zohan Dvir, who fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist. Like every Sandler movie, movie-goers are not going to be dissapointed with Sandler's and Schneider's comic relief antics,(Has ANYONE ever notices how often Rob pop's up in Sandler's shows?) albeit this time, Sandler has a surprisingly hot bod *Who would have thought??!!*

Once in New York City, Zohan is given the round-around to get his dream job. luckily he's biggest fan who emmidiately regonises him offered him a job, only to be turned down and is recommended to a hairdresser on the other side of the street, who not only is HOT but also happens to be thier no.1 religion nemesis.

Dalia ( played by Emmanuelle Chriqui), the owner of the saloon distrust Zohan's( By then he changed his identity to Scrappy Coco) credibility, giving him the job as a cleaner . Scrappy finally gets his wish when one of the hairdressers quit and begs for a chance to prove himself worthy. Here's where the fun PG-13 rated starts! Who knew giving hair showers to old ladies were sexual? after every haircut, He romances his clients by giving them "special services" in the back room.

Dalia slowly opens up to Zohan/Scrappy Coco and eventually becomes one of the reasons for the Isralis and Arabs to form a bond of new friendship and understanding.

Schneider's part as the poor guy who lost his pet goat to Zohan didn't miss tickling our funny bone either! So if you're looking for a good long laugh (And I LITERALLY MEANT LONG!) with a dose of crude and sexual content throughout, language and nudity then this is a MUST see movie for you!

And if you ever noticed, most Sandler & Schneider's movie often has a moral value in it amidst the gales of laugher and comical lines thats worth your every cent.

Catch it now, or buy it! Till next review~!

Baby Bro's Another Year Older~!


(Wong, Justin & Meng Wai -- Trev cutting his cake)
On the right is THE Blueberry Cream cake!



Yes, thats right. My lil' brother is a September 11 baby, LOL!! Happy bday boy, pictures were taken at 12am this morn.

Happy Blessed Burfday Poh2~!

(Darling, beloved grandma Soh Aiye Neo)


Celebrated dearest poh2's ( Mum's Mother) bday 3 days earlier than original date (Grans bday is on the 9Th of Sept) at a Restaurant in Subang (Can't recall name) where my dad's old restaurant area used to be.



Took every ones pictures except me, this is the only pic I took with grans. Bless her, she's seen much but she's the greatest Nyonya cook (for the fact that no one's cooking is near her expertise as I know of so far!) and the last generation of Nyonya in her family to intermarry.



Dad's a quarter Baba, cause his grandma is a Penang Nyonya and Mum's a pure Nyonya since both grans and late gramps comes from a long line of generations of Malacca's Baba Nyonyas.



If you don't know what Baba Nyonya's are, shame on you. Go read your history's =)

Lotsa XoXo Grans <3>

A Race To Your Death!

Watch out Vin! Jason Statham is giving you a run for your money in Death Race, starring as Jensen Ames out performing even Sylvester Stallone in the hit re-make of Death Race 2000 (1975)



(Death Cars)


Jensen wakes up to find he's being framed for his loving wife's murder with the murder weapon in his hands, and police towering above him.
Finding himself dragged into jail owned privately by the ruthless Hennessey (Joan Allen) who made a private racing track arena within the walls of Terminal Island Prison where selected prisoners with skills to run racing sports cars are handpicked and given selected cars modified (Think Fast & Furious incorporated with Missiles, machine guns,armoury, you get the picture!) with their own team of technical crews while trying to survive precariously out-witting and killing of the other drivers ( innnocent bystanders included)




Naming the event: Death Race, it is then broadcast around the world via the Internet where viewers have to pay to watch it in three stages.
With no choice but to agree with Hennessey's terms in his bid for freedom and to get his child back (Each death race drivers are set free if they won after four rounds) Jensen then dawns on the mask of the racer who originally won four races before his heavily armoured car failed him inexplicably which lead him to his death knowned as the famous Frankenstein.




Alongside each racers are given co-pilots also knowned as the famous 'NAVIGATORS' (Thou shall see the movie to get my drift why they're famous, hint hint!) and Case (Natalie Martinez) does a great job at that but undermined the new Frankenstein's skills.




With the help of Coach, psycho killer Machine Gun Joe (Tyrese Gibson) and the rest of the Frankenstein crew, all's well ends well. You know a movie's well worth your every penny (in this sense, I meant to say cents) when you start directing midway and Hennessey does a great job being the real bitch you wanna strangle with your bare hands for making the character helpless in every bid.




A movie not to be missed if you favour the likes of '2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and the Furious'. This is one script Vin should have taken up.

Vin diesel's latest movie a d-i-ss-a-p-o-i-n-m-e-n-t

"BABYLON A.D"
(Dato' Michelle Yeoh, Melanie Thierry & Mr. Macho Man Himself in one of the scenes)


Okay, like all the thousand Vin Diesel fans we thronged thru the cinema (which surprisingly had verrryyy little people and mannyyy empty seats) Coke and all (Without popcorn sadly, but the 1901 Connie's made up for it!) and waited impatiently in our seats for the damn adverts to finish and the show of the most anticipated to start.




After it does, we comfortably adjusted ourselves and watch...only to be disappointed in the storyline (Or was it the scenes that has been suspiciously cut by our dear censorship board?) and irritating acting by lead actress
Mélanie Thierry as Aurora who constantly acts Jekyll and Hyde syndrome, my partner the hardcore Vin Diesel fan was very disappointed.



It doesn't bring out the best of Vin, nor does it bring out the challenging streak he normally possessed in most movie. Bad choice of script I would say, even with mild jokes such as one of the scenes where they we're in a submarine and Aurora was sleeping and Rebekka (played by our dear dato' Michelle Yeoh) the nun was talking to Toorop (Vin Diesel), later after that Toorop's pal from the other side whispered saying Aurora shows virus syndrome and she might spread it across the globe and Toorop's answer to that was " If she's having it, I'll kill her myself and burn her body" to which at the exact moment, Aurora's eyes shot open and stared eerily into his eyes as though she heard him.





After the drama, when it was late at night and Toorop was out of the tent throwing the bullet shells, Aurora came out and sat beside him despite being told to go back into the tent and sleep. More talk and here's comes the funny part, " Toorop?" "Hmph? yeah?" "Are you really going to kill me and burn my body?"......."Well...I hope not"



All said and done, I feel the best acting was non other than our dear Dato' Michelle Yeoh for playing the part of the caring-overprotective nun, though I must say that in the early stages of the movie her slang and English is questionable as I was pondering why she was having such a hard time pronounciating the words when she's obviously much more capable of doing better than that I'm sure, then again, the director must've underestimated her and force her to put on the ugly accent.




In conclusion, if you're a die hard Vin Diesel fan then please spare yourself and your change. Don't bother watching this as you've been warned. On the up side, if you're not then feel free by all means.

Self-help Indulgence...Anyone?

(My first self-help books & Beach side fiction of the month!)



The ever famous book "Men r from Mars, Women r from Venus" by John Gray. The partner won a free seminar to attend based on this book by Mix.fm's website.This was held on the 28th Of August 2008 last week, and these were the books I'd got on the same day of that week, Yipee for me! (More books to read :0) )

Well, the seminar proved interesting because we actually debated every mid-way and since it was a mixture of one couple and three singles, allot of questions arose that we couple could explain and singles gave us an insight on today's world of dating. Though personally, I was shocked to find out how shallow men still are in the dating process, guess some things just never change....or could they?

Most questions the single men pose were very easy to answer from my point of view of a woman in general speaking terms. Like for example, one guy said he had this relationship where he knows she's the direct sort. She goes "Do you L-O-V-E me?" and he says he doesn't know how to answer it because he's still not sure, albeit he does have feelings for her but he has a rating system (In venusian language, simple conclusion would be " I like you, not in the I LOVE YOU stage yet though!) whereby its like I like you but its stage one (stage one is in the friendly stage) or stage 2 or 3, and the list goes on if you get what I meant.


So, back to this guy. He's caught in between feelings like in stage 6 or something (Stage 6 onwards will lead to I LOVE U, enough for marriage stages if he feels strongly enough to marry you that is!) so it's between a Yes/No situation. Which in Men's term its simply, "Maybe?".


And of course his straight direct to the point missus goes, "You're NOT answering my question! Yes or NO? DO-U-L-O-V-E-ME?" Now guys, when you know she's the direct sort, please don't go around the bushes? Just tell her "I'm not ready yet, so I can't exactly tell you whether I do or I don't, cuz as it turns out I DO have feelings for you, BUT am NOT sure its an I-LOVE-U stage yet" or "We haven't really been together THAT long enough for me to be sure of my feelings for you and it wouldn't be fair if I lied and say that I do, please give me more time to be sure before I say I love you and truly meant it from the bottom of my heart". It doesn't matter if it hurts her, THAT'S what she wants to hear, the freaking truth whether it hurts or not its NOT your fault if she breaks down after that or acts cold because technically she's DIGESTING the information in her OWN way.


(Note to gurls : Be prepared to hear his answer, and if it's not what you're looking for be at least grateful that HE is honest and it DOESN'T meant he doesn't care about you, he does. Just give him time and space to figure it out. SOMETIMES, waiting does reaps rewards as they always say, Patience IS a Virtue)


Leave her alone when she reacts this way, because she would rather be left alone or if you feel bad, just be there with her but please for god's sake don't put on the "LET ME EXPLAIN' words because YOU WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORST. You being there in her presence is enough to comfort her at arms length.


I can almost hear you guys saying "And then what after all that drama?!" then, my dears you ask her if she wants to talk or if you could give her a hug (SINCERELY as by nature we're VERY sensitive to vibes of your feelings to us!!) Using the correct tone will bring you wonders.


(Note: When she DOES decides she wants to talk, PLEASE OH PLEASE for god sake, just be there to listen, yes its illogical but we find it less stressful when someone just listens and shut up. We're NOT looking for a SOLUTION at this point. JUST comfort and UNDERSTANDING)


See? its THAT simple and Easy, seriously both genders Do speak different languages and its the communication that brings us further apart. I wouldn't say the book has change my relationship much, but it has been PROVEN useful and has Saved Marriages and Relationships alike by 99%.


Theres another thing I'd like to point out to gurls for the guys benefit from this book. When guys gets stressed, they go into a place they call "THE CAVE" ( Its when they shut themselves up and get lost into space) The Cave could either be guys reading the newspaper and smoking, drinking..etc The most important thing is that when they do, GURLS must NEVER disturb them when they go into thier caves, for a more deeper understanding of "THE CAVE" why not buy the book? *Grinz*


Bear in mind, this book ain't a miracle pill to save your relationship. Its just a book of skills and advise to improvise your relationships and to create a better understanding of the opposite sexes.


To be honest, as its my first ever self-help books, (Fictions are my forte!) I've actually find it an interesting read.Its in the top list of non-fiction best sellers by MPH and yes, I've heard of it but never really got to read it up till now.


The seminar was an eye opener, but its too short for a two-hour coaching so said partner and I are going for the one whole day seminar next month. Will update you on how it goes *Winkz*


By now, you must be wondering why the fiction book is in the picture as well. Frankly, I had bought the book as it stands to reason that its 1# Cheap (Its Rm14.90) yes, believe it or not and I got another 10% as I'm a Popular Card Member (Grinz) 2# Needed it for my beachside read when I go to BALI in two weeks time and Thirdly is because the title is interesting, enuff said.



I'm exhausted, so thats it for now. Adios amigos~!
