And theat was yelled in my brain when I saw the part where the grandma took out the snotty alien-controlled boyfriend in the Movie Aliens in the Attic.
Went to watch it on Saturday night, leaving my brain behind- since i Know this is all nonsense/action movie already. And boy oh boy. DO LEAVE IT behind, and you'll have fun thorughout the movie.
Why? cos it actually was action filled from beginning to the ending, if the action is somehow kiddy a bit. The acting was so-so, especially weak coming from Ashley Tisdale and the main actor... but thanx to the "matured" actors/actresses, it helped kept the movie afloat.
The grandmother was especially funny, so was the bf of Ashley. AND THE ALIENS!!!
They're kinda cute, even the evil ones. Of course, like my friend said after the show, "The good aliens are soooo cute, the bad one are sooo different". YUP
Now my next few movies - District 9, GI JOE!!!!
Also, spent my whole day finishing up the 1year old game SILENT HILL HOMECOMING. It was actually quite riveting, as the controls were slightly improved in my opinion.
Out of the 5 endings, I got the more reality based one... The ending where the Hero- after killing the final boss, saves his brother and walks off to the darkness:
Wakes up in hospital room, bound on feet and hand. He then realized that it was the hospital room that he escaped from initially at the beginning of the game, only this time clean and new.
Then he noticed 2 other doctors, one near his head who was getting ready to connect some elctrical thingie to his scalp.
He shouts whether he's up or not, is his brother save. WAS HE DREAMING?
The other doctor replied, yes. He was dreaming, he'll only wake up once he is in his coherent mind....
and proceeded to zap his brain to wake him up...
WT?!?!?!
Whole time I played, i got my hero to be a mental patient?!?!?!

They are to be respected
And I went WT?!?! In my head....
Stupid lady in charge of the museum was thinking that we were disrespectful to the cancer organ specimens there....
REWIND>>>
My kids and I went for a field trip to day to coincide with the biology topics I've been teaching, and one of the place included a university medical museum. Yeah. I've been there, along with Mr J and A before with some other batches of students before this.
So procedure during this time was slightly different. I just managed to call the dean yesterday and a lady picked up. When I told her that there are about 8 of us only (turned to be 6 - 2 absent) she said it's fine. no need letter.
So this morning we went, jolly going there to see the things.
there wasn't any problem to begin with, since there wasn't anyone there when we went to the museum about 9.30
then I had to go loo, so left the 4 kids there.
Came ack and saw all 4 of them sitting outside the centre with some lady and guys of uni staff looking over them.
Apparently another small group of students from another school came to the place, and the lady thought we didn't ask for permission.
I told the puffy and peachy lady that I did call and a lady answered my phone. She said who and i told her frankly I didn't get the name. She went off in a huff then
So I continued the "trip" with the kids in the museum when that same Indian lady came with another lady, asking me aside. Since there was a lsight commotion already, my kids stopped and stood next to me.
they started interrogating me like some couple of MIBs who thought that we came to their museum to steal the specimens for fertilization!!!
Come on! It's cancer specimens. It's in enbalming fluid bottles. We were just looking at it.
And THE INDIAN lady had the nerve to tell me: "You must treat them with respect, not make fun and gawk at them" WTH?!?!?! What were we doing? playing catch the ovarian cancer? "You are not supposed to take pictures too" _ Hello... We knew that, and we didn't . The other school on the other hand took pictures with normal flashing cameras!!!Students were gawking!!!
And she said," This museum isn't open for public. U need to have the right channel to go through to visit here"
Yeah... I called and was told no need. Now u say I need letter of permission, blah blah blah, lectring me there, making me look like a BLOODY IDIOT in fornt of the kids. Of Course, being courteus as always, I just went into apologetic mode, gomen...gomen... ok :0 ok :) will do that...
U people change your policies like changing underwears only... old ones coming out smelly, new ones not looking good at all pun.
The nerve...When the other lady, more "apologetic" sounding and formal went to ask her - since they're here,can they go on then?
The INDIAN LADY: Go lar go lah, they saw half of it anyways.
That was when my students came themselves ad said they're done. don wanna see anymore.
Oi lady!!! It's no wonder they don wanna open it to public, with a mediator like u, it's HELL. THEY SAW HALF OF IT... wah.. must be bloody top secret huh?
BEST is still: BE RESPECTFUL... How? Bawa colok to the place. give one to every organ specimen we want to see is it?
ISH... Makes me want to discard the field trip for future usage...

Interestin Practice On a Holiday break (IPOH)
Too tired to blog about it yesterday...so here it is!!
Anyways, this week is currently a week of term break for te pre university students in my college. So, me and some office colleagues decided to take the day off yesterday (Tuesday) to have a small 1 day trip to... Ipoh!!!!
Objective: FOOD
There were 7 of us who went to Ipoh that day, in 2 cars. We started our journey about 8.45 am from the college, as we were waiting for a friend to arrive.So during the wait, snapped a picture of a colleague :p
Posing maut!!!
Well, we went to The famous nasi lemak stall in D.U. for breakfast about 9am before making our journey to Ipoh about 45 mintes later.
The whole trip was quite good actually, as I was driving, 3 other colleagues were in my car while another 2 went to the car that Alex drove. We had a brief stop at the Tapah stop along the highway, so that urs truly may ease himself at the restroom while the others went to buy guavas and other stuffs at the stop. Then saw a small kiosk selling KimoIce! Tried it (chocolate) - meh =.=
Anyways, continued our trip to Ipoh, reaching the stop at Ipoh Selatan about 11.30am - ahead of schedule!!! (:p) We drove past Jusco where me and my colleagues started to look into the map from a street food guidebook to go to our first makan place - some place near some road selling something good.
Let me tell you first, as I was somehow believed to lead the group, me and my colleagues in my car had the task of leading the other car and collegues to the place.
No need to say, as I wasn't a great leader, so the first stall took us about 20 minutes to locate. :p
We went round and round that whole road only to find that it was situated at the end of the other side of the road... Choi... =.=
It was a coffeeshop named Yong Suan, with a nasi kandar stall located at the entrance. Now this stall was highly recommended so we thought of trying it out.
And what do you know.... It's REALLY GOOD!!! I had a piece of ayam merah which tasted good but spicy, while the others had rice with whatever's thrown at them. Why thrown? Apparently whatever any of my colleagues said to the waiter handling their food wasn't taken into consideration.. Nasi setengah - plop! Whole plate of rice -
Tak mau kuah - Plop! More gravy!!!
But they did enjoy themselves, every one of the colleagues - Alex even 'bathed" in the glory of the spicyness!!! :p
Managed to take this b4 going off - just to show HOW FAMOUS IT IS
Next, we drove a 5minutes drive to the famous Jln. Theatre where many good food were supposed to be found there.Firstly, we went to shop at a store there for some things that Yati, Hema and Yong were looking for for some college activity. It's actually surprising to me here, that on this road itself, there are 2 shops/supermarkets that sells trinkets and decos for bridal events/events and such... U can find a lot of those ribbons lar, bunga mangga deco, masks, and others there. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures there. sighh....
After the 10-15 minutes romp in a shop of it, we then went to another recommended shop at the same road for dessert. this time we had "tau fu fah". Taste - not too bad, but the texture of the tau foo fah makes up for the taste, as it was oh so smooth!!!! never had a smoother one that that!!!! Typing this is making me drool all over again, just remembering it!!!
hehehe... took abit first b4 the picture!!!
No. Me not in cos I had to take the picture!!!
Waitress too lulu to take for us.
After the soft makan, Yong, Hema and Alex decided to walk to a shop at the end of the street to order the Ipoh's famous salted chicken to take away, while Yati and Chee decided to shop at the remaining decoration shop. So off I went with Peter for our so called next stop - others too full to eat - the On Kee Chicken Rice with taugeh!!!
Unfortunately the much more popular Lau wong, situated next to On Kee was closed. So we went to this one - not that it didn't taste good!!! YUMMY!!! Also, as Peter was eating, people just staared at us eating... wonder why....
Chicken rice was good, slightly oily but good!!! To the point that I ordered an extra bowl of rice!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
Peter commented then after the eat, that he was then "TRULY HAD EATEN". Hahahahaha!!!
We were then very full by 2.30pm after that, andour initial planning was so way ahead, that we didn't know what to do then. Then we decided to go to Ipoh Parade as it was hot here too. SO Ipoh Parade - HERE WE COME!!!!
Went there, jalan jalan a bit. Bought some things there. I actually bought some things I wanted to get for so long. Got it in Parade only cos I had the time..Can u imagine that?!?!
Anyways, we had a small drink at the starbucks there... Yes - starbuck in Ipoh... WT?!?!
Again, no group photos cos this time there were only one worker in the shop that was BUSY BUSY BUSY
It was about 4 that time, so we decided to go to our final destination for the day. The plan to the Old town white coffee cofeeshop was scrapped as everyone had it in Starbucks aready (DUH!!).
So we went to Kek Lok Tong, near the famous Sam Poh Tong.
I can tell u this, a 15 minutes trip from Parade to this temple ended up becoming a 30 minutes trip, thanks to yours truly...
Thank you colleagues, for your patience!!! I've never gotten the wrong road as riduculously funny as this one!!!
Let's just say that towards the 4th U turn out of a remote bend, Chee messaged to tell me not to give up hope....
But Kek Lok Toong we managed to reach, and it was breahttaking...
We went into the cave and saw really good cave stalactites and mites as well. The cave was littered with statues of Buddha and other gods, among the beautiful stalagmites/tites. Best of all, the cave opens into a nice man made garden which house a small lake.
Had an episode of breathing difficulty though here, a sudden pull and tug of pain that I had to sit down and wait it off...
Then after that we went back to the main road. Of course stopping at the tambun pomeloes stall to buy 3 for the family :p
Then we went back to KL, reaching DU again about 8pm...
Not too bad for a day trip!!!!

previews

In many way,s I' changing it slightly, but also in many ways, these stories are ORIGINALLY told that way.
If u google it, u realize it then.

Mermaid died in the original.
Pied Piper killed children too.
