Happy New Year 2010

As we usher in a new year, let's welcome 2010 with open arms. The past may not turn out as what we have intended it to be. But press on even as we acknowledge that we are in a Jesus-led storm. Jesus is the master over every storm. And because He is in us, we will soar above the storm. And because we will soar above the storm, we will bounce back stronger and more successful than ever. And because we will bounce back stronger and more successful than ever, we know that we are on the right track.

So...

&

God bless u!!! =)

State Of Play

State Of Play is a great movie to watch. I just watched it on DVD. The story goes like this:-

A man kills a thief in the middle of the night in Washington DC. A Pizza delivery guy who happens to pass by is shot by the man. The next day, Sonia Baker is killed by a subway train. It looks like a suicide but reporter Cal McAffrey believes there is more than just a suicide attempt. Instincts also tells him that both incidents are connected although it does not look that way on the surface.

Sonia Baker is a lead researcher in Congressman Stephen Collins' staff. He is too distraught by her death that he broke down on national television when announcing her death. Soon, speculations of him having an affair with her is proven when Collins admits about it. Things just gets worse as McAffrey and his colleague, Della Frye work on the story.

The man who killed the two victims shoots the Pizza guy who has just woken up from a coma as Frye intends to gather information from the Pizza guy. Frye realises the man that she meets in the elevator earlier is actually the murderer. McAffrey is almost killed by the muderer too in a separate incident.

Collins reveals to McAffrey about the secret plans that is being done by PointCorp, a private defense contractor with controversial operations involving mercenaries. Later on, he admits hiring the murderer, Corporal Bingham to watch Baker as Collins is suspicious of her, and not to kill her. A key witness, who is a PR executive, working for a subsidiary of PointCorp confesses his involvement with Baker after being blackmailed by McAfrrey. As the show comes to an end, the cops shoot Corporal Bingham before he manages to assassinate McAffrey after McAffrey confronts Collins for the whole truth. In the end, Mcaffrey and Frye successfully type the story and leave the office. The story ends with the printing of the story on the newspaper.

It is interesting as suspense are continuously rising. Conspiracies are built on conspiracies. And just when you think that is the truth, you are wrong....again and again. So, it's a great movie to watch.

MU Close In On Chelsea

Manchester United moved withing 2 points of leader Chelsea as they defeated Hull City 3-1. Wayne Rooney was brilliant as he stirred MU to victory as much as he turned villain for a moment. Rooney was instrumental in all four goals of the night.

Darren Fletcher made a cross to Ryan Giggs. And Rooney finished a close range strike on the stroke of half-time to make it 1-0. As good as he was in scoring, Rooney could not escape from making silly mistakes. Rooney made an uncharacteristic mistake with a poor backpass. Fagan easily got hold of the ball and made a cross. Rafael tried to prevent Hull from equalising but that caused Jozy Altidore to fall.

Thus, a penalty was rewarded in favour of Hull and Fagan easily scored the equaliser. Soon, Rooney turned from villain back to hero when his cross caused Hull's Andy Dawson to score an own goal. With that, the score is 2-1 in favour of MU. Dimitar Berbatov tapped in to make it 3-1 when Rooney set up for him.

In conclusion, MU rocks...again!!!

* Rooney scores even when pressured by Hulls defender

* Fagan scores from the penalty

* Andy Dawson scores an own goal

* Berbatov celebrates with Rooney after scoring United's 3rd goal

Chelsea Vs Fulham

Chelsea was held 0-0 with Birmingham City. Nevertheless, they are still top of the table with a 5 point lead over 2nd place Manchester United. So, MU will have the chance of closing the gap right down to a 2 points difference should they win tomorrow's game against Hull.

So, i'm keeping my fingers crossed MU will make full use of the draw between Chelsea and Birmingham City =)

Breek's Cafe

* The exodus of ex-XGL-ians

* Detention by Christine...it's ok, I forgive u

* My hazelnut chocolate

* Christine & me

* Little Simin with Batman

* Christine & another heroine which I forgot her name

We went to Queensbay not too long ago. That's because Christine told me last minute. As in literally. Sunday afternoon she told me to go Queensbay. And it was Sunday evening that we had to go. That's Christine!!! =X

Anyway, with my skillful driving, we arrived safely. Christine, that's something to be thankful to God. Haha. So, we jalan-jalan and took pictures with Batman and Co while waiting for Christ and Alyn. Christine and I ended up having dinner at Breek's Cafe after walking the whole Queensbay twice. That's because Christine couldn't decide what to eat and as a good friend, I asked Christine to decide. =) Although I was such a good friend, Christine gave me detention. (refer picture =) ) But, it's ok Christine, I forgive you. I know, you are very touched...

Soon, Alyn and Christ arrived. They ate at Sushi King...I think. Christine and I watched the modelling thing. Next, we went to Forever 21 because the both of them went there. And it was there that the exodus of CGL-ians arrive.

In conclusion, Simin is a very good friend. Poor Christine is the victim here...because I'm the blogger here. But it's ok Christine. Like I always say...

10 years down the road, you will say : Simin, thank you for blogging and posting the pictures.

Haha...dan saya akhiri rencana saya dengan ucapan "Sama-sama".

Btw Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!!!

The Princess & The Frog

A long time ago, in a far away land, there was...a shopping mall called Gurney. Anyway, Christine, Cheng Yee, Krystle, Kevin (i think his name is Kevin...sorry...bad at names) & I went to Gurney. We had lunch at Swenson's (again bad at names...sorry). The food was nice. So was the music. Christine copied my order!!! It's ok I forgive you. =P

We chatted for some time and took lots of pictures. We finally moved our butts out of Swenson's. By then, Krystle & Kevin left. It was down to the 3 of us. So we headed to the arcade. There, Master Christine & Cheng Yee showed me their skills of car racing!!! I stood there speechless. Wanna know why? Master Cheng Yee was so skillful while Master Christine was ... haiz...Then, it was the finale. Master Cheng Yee then showed me the most sought after skill ever in the history of mankind. The Sakura Dance. It was awesome. Fire was surrounding Master Cheng Yee when she showed me the art of dancing. Wow!!!

Next, we watched the Princess & The Frog. Nice =)))))) After the movie, Cheng Yee left. I was about to leave but Christine FORCED me to stay behind with her for dinner. Guess what was the dinner? WAFFLES!!! Christine...nooooooooo...Finally, we left Gurney. Thank God I reached home in 1 piece. Without blemish.

Below is the summary of what happened.

The Princess & The Frog

* Main cast : Christine

* Main cast : Cheng Yee

* Main casts with Supporting casts : Krystle & Simin

The story begins...

* A long time ago, in a far away land, there was a land called "The Land". One day, Princess Cheng Yee showed Simin a new invention, called "The Machine".

* On the other side of "The Land", Krystle and Christine, dubbed "The KChris" were together. Suddenly, Kystle saw a lizard on Christine's hair. To save Christine, Krystle pulled Christine's hair. However, it was actually an imagination of Krystle. Christine was so terrified.

* Sensing danger, Princess Cheng Yee teleported using a cell phone. Notice the guy behind wondering how could a human just appeared next to him.

* Princess Cheng Yee then used her superpowers to save Christine from danger. Princess Cheng Yee had not fully developed and controlled her powers. Thus, her Majesty did not know that it was a false alarm. But it was too late. Her Majesty already started her kung fu dance called "The Sakura Dance."

* Like I said, Princess Cheng Yee had not fully developed her powers. So, instead of saving Christine, Christine turned into a frog. Notice the face became mutated.

* Christine ran to her car to hide herself after realising she was evolving into a frog. But to no avail, she started choking. Like every other curse, she turned into a frog only during the night. However, internally, her body mechanism shifted to a frog's mechanism.

* In the end, Simin had no trouble finding transport back as Christine obediently fetched Simin back to Princess Cheng Yee's castle.

THE END

* Produced by Simin
