Final Destination 4

“ What if, our presence here was the plan from the beginning? ”

-- Nick

Finally got the time to update. I went to the Premiere Screening of Final Destination 4 as planned 4 days ago, with Yong Xian. Going there gave me a headache first as I don't quite know the route there, to be more precise, at the Kerinchi Link, hell it really has lots of diverging roads and it got to my nerves. Malaysian roadsigns are useless too. I've managed to get through it with some help from YX, so I'll skip this part.

Just be lucky because it's the fasting month for the Muslims so the probability of getting caught in a traffic jam in Federal Highway after 7pm is close to zero (at least for the part of highway that I've travelled). I guess that's the reason of why 1 Utama was so empty (but full of bloggers), not to mention it's 8pm+ of a weekday.

This time the tickets were cool. It was colour-printed on hard paper. In addition we were also given 2 slides of postcards, which is useless to me, as I was hoping that they would give me the "I Love Nuffnang" badge instead.

(Top: the postcard. Bottom: the back of the ticket)

As always, the other bloggers mingle around with each other and had photo sessions, but not me. I don't know how did they know each other, while I was always being left out, perhaps they've known each other in real life. Ah whatever. It's destined.

Now about the movie itself. I never watched any of the Final Destination series before so this was my first one. Well it was gross, with more gruesome ways of dying. I never expected that some of the explicit gore scenes were actually shown on the screen instead of being censored. One phenomenon I've noticed that the crowd actually cheered when someone dies.. @@

The only downside I felt about this movie is that it's length was a little too short. We was expecting that the movie would end around 11.30pm, but we already reached home at that time, as the movie ended almost 1 hour earlier...

Here's some scenes from the movie:

I know this movie has already been in cinemas for 2 days already, it's also showed in selected 3D cinemas in case you didn't know. That should add up some intense you can't experience from the usual cinemas. Overall Final Destination 4 is worth to watch if you "enjoy" the gore. FD fans are definitely not going to miss the show. Go ahead and watch it this weekend holidays to find out how can you cheat death ;)

Once again, a very big THANKS to Nuffnang for the free movie tickets!

Hey wait, did I just say cheat death? Referring to the quote I've put at the very beginning, do you think anyone can actually cheat death?? Ah whatever, just go watch the movie and find it out yourself! ;D

New semester, new challenge

Just another day spent at the college, the first week of second semester is over already. Too fast, too furious. It was a pleasant week at college, as we, the A-Level students, are the only ones that has begun classes 1 week earlier than those of other courses. It feels like the whole college were only occupied by us.

“ That made me enjoyed the serenity in ICSJ -- less noise, less people, more books to borrow, more computers to use. ”

I used this opportunity to borrow 2 bloody thick and heavy books about programming (C++ and Java) from the library. I don't know why I did so as the second semester is going to be a hectic semester for us, a total of 9 weeks before finals, now 8 more to go. Where do I get the time to learn programming now? Oh well, as long as I'm interested..

“ Anyway, if I were to comment about our timetable for this semester, I would only give one word: SUCKS! ”

Not because of the freaking long classes, I've gotten used to it, but then again, it's the classes for Friday. I'd always hoped that classes can end before 1pm on Friday, but instead our class ends at 5pm now. Bloody hell, freaking class ends at 5pm because there's a 3 hour gap from 12pm-3pm for the Malay prayers time. Oh good lord, is there not any day that I can return home earlier? I hate to deal with traffic jams, like today, it was so terribly jammed from LDP Sunway toll plaza until Bukit Jalil Highway. Abnormal enough as I never had such a nightmare during first semester where there were 2 days when class ends at 5pm. Wasted my valuable 1 hour staring at the car in front while crawling.

Back to the point, we were told by our Economics lecturer that our first test will be 2 weeks from now. That's just 'awesome'! I can expect that more and more tests will fall around that time period. Let's see how well I can cope in my studies in such a short period of time. Speaking of this, the results of my first semester finals is phail, with Economics and Malaysian Studies getting B. I won't bother about M'sian Studies results because our coursework marks sucks big time. Anyway I pass it as long as I didn't fail. It's over. But Economics, I've freaking studied it for 1 week before the finals, sacrificing and risking other subjects, yet not so desirable results. It's really THAT hard to score in Economics eh?

Well, it's my path, my challenge to overcome, since the day I've taken A-Level. 4 subjects are really a pain in the back if one doesn't use time wisely.

“ Thinking back of SPM days when we used to take 11 subjects, that's nothing compared to these 4 subjects eh? I suppose. ”

But I'm still myself, one who lacks motivation and self-discipline to study progressively, instead of doing unnecessary things at the wrongest time, e.g. trying to pack programming knowledge into my already-full-memory mind. That's just digging my own grave.

Using this chance, I would like to wish Malaysia happy 52th anniversary of independence. May our country continue advancing and development in the correct direction (although I remain skeptical about this). For those who want to attend the celebration, remember to wear high-quality masks and be hygienic to reduce the chance of infecting swine flu. For me, I'll just sleep until someone or something blows me to kingdom come. Heck, I'm LAZY.

In an unrelated matter, I'm going to the Premiere Screening of Final Destination: Rest in Pieces in 1 Utama next Tuesday night! My sacrifice wasn't in vain after all ^^. Wish me that I'm not going to rest in either peace or pieces during the journey.

NUFFNANG ROCKS!

I Don’t Want to Rest in Pieces like Final Destination

Nuffnang is giving free tickets to Premiere Screenings again! This time they are giving free tickets to watch Final Destination: Rest in Pieces. Oh my god, when I heard about this, immediately I told myself that I must get the free tickets in order to not rest in pieces.

First of all, I have always been having accurate premonitions. I had one right away after getting to know about this event. I can foresee that, without the free tickets, I can't watch the movie in cinemas as I'm flat broke. Without the fixed seats in cinemas, I could rest in pieces if I were to watch it in front of my computer some day later. Why? The following scenes were in my premonition:

Freaked out by the unexpected

According to Newton's Third Law: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And ZOMG I've lost balance from my reaction!

And then, bang my neck on the hard solid wooden table below and SPLAT!

Moving closer to have a look at my body:

I certainly don't want to die like that, I still have a long way to go. Heck, I haven't even reach 1/6 of the human lifespan! I still want to:

1. date a girl,
2. do the you-know-what thing,
3. be a father, and
4. be the President (of the house).

These free tickets ought to make me learn the way to cheat death earlier than the others. Therefore, my life is in your hands, Nuffnang! :o

*Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I could only make it with my really obsolete 1.3MP webcam..

First Amongst Equals

As everyone knows, or in case you don't know, the title of this post is New INTI's motto. I've just become part of it. What?? How dare the author of this blog claim himself to be the first amongst equals, with crappy results of his? Well, maybe not in studies, but in watching Orphan.

After having this new kind of experience, it's hard for me to not brag a little about it. So first of all, due to the bad timing, I had to watch the movie with my dad. Things never go according to my wishes anyway. Whatever, that's the last resort if I wasn't going to waste the tickets.

Just a glance of the tickets, don't bother the quality because the info is now useless anyway.

I was a tad too late to line up to collect my tickets because the last exclusive Orphan merchandise had just been given out to a few other bloggers just in front of me. Sad. Whatever, I didn't put much hope to get these stuffs and just wanted to get the tickets ASAP. Again, inedible grapes are sour.

By the way, to my observation, out of the 100 pairs tonight, I can approximately estimate that 95% of the pairs were BF-GF pairs, the remaining pairs were like of the same sex: boy-boy or girl-girl, which I assume that they are close friends. I'm the most special one, the only 1% that was paired up with my dad. Besides I think we are the pair that has the largest age difference. Congratz to me. Zz. It's tough to see other intimate couples enjoying a thrilling movie together, while I felt so lonely even my dad was beside me. Zz

I'll just skip the story. This movie is rated 18PL so it's unavoidable that there will be some censored scenes due to you-know-what-reason. Orphan is a thriller revolving about the life of this not-so-little girl named Esther (Xian please don't misunderstand ^^) and her new family. Well, to cut it short, she's a nightmare to the family. I think I didn't spoil this movie as these 2 sentences didn't mean anything lol. So to find out what's wrong with her, remember to catch this movie in cinemas at 20 August.

As a conclusion, although it wasn't an enjoyable movie session for me, it's past. What I enjoyed was that I am one of the first Malaysians to be able to watch this movie even before it's been released! Finally I'm a first! No one can admit first even if I admitted second, ahah. For those who were unable to or didn't want to go with me, your loss. Such a rare chance for me to bring someone to a free movie session, think me cheap because I only invite people for a movie when I didn't need to pay anything. Whatever.

Nevertheless, I hereby thank Nuffnang the invitation to this Premiere Screening. You've broaden my eyesights with these kind of events and I'm looking forward to other events held by you all in the future. ^^ (provided that if I can still remain creative and most importantly, being lucky.) Ciaoz

A day at Jusco..err..I mean half

What's the best thing to do when TMNUT Screamyx failed you? Hang out with a bunch of friends! Yeah I've just returned from Aeon Cheras Selatan a.k.a. Jusco. It was a nice day to hang out as today is Wednesday, when movie tickets are cheaper! We watched 2 movies: Fast & Furious 4 and Shinjuku Incident.

Our group consisted of 5 friends. Coincidentally, we bumped onto 5 other friends of another group, which has exactly the same schedule with us as well. Looks like Wednesday is a good day to bump onto friends after all.

Our first movie to watch was Fast & Furious 4, and so we entered the cinema (duhz). Well, this movie wasn't as cool as I expected: Racing all the way long (noob thoughts). It does have some thrills though. But honestly, I watch the babes more than the cars as I know nothing about cars, obviously. Sad. Overall, the movie still has a nice storyline.

We had our lunch at McDonalds after the first movie session. I don't know why we always eat there everytime we go out. Perhaps they serve fast food which is the easiest to eat lol. We then visited Popular bookshop to read some books and waited time pass (earliest Shinjuku Incident session was at around 3pm, we had hours to waste). I bought my first English novel (excluding those novels forced to buy for school syllabus), Tom Clancy's Debt of Honour.
It just costed me RM13.40 after 10% discount. Wtf. It's so cheap for a mini dictionary-like-thick (and VERY old) book. Just hope that I can finish it by next year. lol

Finally the time to watch Shinjuku Incident arrived. We entered the cinema again (duhz), but for some reasons the cinema room didn't have any lights other than those beside the seats. It's a complete dark situation. It would be nice if there was a girl beside me. LOL j/k.

This movie interested me. It's the first time I see Jackie Chan acting is such violent movies. The movie is about the hard lifes of illegal Chinese immigrants to Japan during the 1990s. During their early days there, everything seemed happy because everyone was united. After 铁头 (Jackie Chan) accomplished some dirty works as ordered by some Yakuza leader, the illegal Chinese immigrants finally obtained status and power over the area, but things just started to get worse.

I won't spoil any further, I'm not good at narrating anyway, so you'll have to watch it to get a clear picture. This is not an action movie as acted by Jackie Chan usually, instead it's heavier on drama. This movie depicts the ugly side of human, where human is selfish, money-minded and do not care for their former comrades. Everything ended up in a conflict, which is another ugly thing as well. If there's a sentence like "all's well ends well", then "all's bad ends bad" is the only thing I can say now. lol

Imagine if the same thing happens in Malaysia in the future, when illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries flock into our country, forms a gang, and conflicted with local triads (if there's any), what will happen? Can I reckon that movies like "Kuala Lumpur Incident" or "Malaysia Incident" might come out by that time?
