Baby Blue & Talentime

We went to see Baby Blue! You know, the one that was born early this year, and has been one of the hot topics on the National Geographic channel. They made a live size replica of it and exhibited it in Midvalley. Sooo cuutteee!! ;D If the picture was bigger you could've seen how long it was, this was only half of it. Aaannd yeaah, ignore my boring face there, coz u know how it is when u get a mengada person to snap ur pic. Drains your mood out, man (-_-)

It was beautiful :) They sold a lot of baby blue merchandise, and while we were there, the kids were having a drawing contest.So cute, lol. In the photo, you see LCDs next to the whale, they played a few of the National Geographic documentaries on baby blue which were pretty interesting. We didn't stay long to watch though, gonna catch it on Astro ;) They had exhibition boards showing Baby blue's migration according to the season.

That very same afternoon, we went to watch Yasmin Ahmad's latest movie, Talentime! OMG, the movie was friggin awesome!! Of course, such outcome of Yasmin Ahmad's work is always expected. Her movies are all just out of the world. I'm always excited to see what she comes up with next. I don't think anyone has ever topped her work yet.

I don't wanna mention much about the movie, coz I don't wanna spoil it for ones who haven't caught it yet. But it was just soooo touching, soooo heartfelt! I cried my eyes out watching it. OMG, I reaaally did. My face looked like I just dipped my head in the swimming pool when I got out of the cinema.During the movie, my tears were literally flowing down my cheeks as if someone built a mini waterfall on my face. Hahahaha.

The whole time I was like trying my best to avoid myself from making weird cry sounds. You know how it is when you start burst out crying, all these weird sounds start coming, and everyone'll look at you like, "what the hell's her problem?". I held myself back so hard, I was almost strainning myself. Thank God it was dark, or that would've been one fugly scene for sho!


Shots with picked out fave book covers. LOL somehow we always do that.

Afi teared up a little too, but she kept stopping to laugh when she looked at me & Farah, coz we were passing tissues to each other. The whole crying scene reminds me of movies I've seen where the person watches a sad movie, and finishes a whole box of tissues used to wipe of their tears. Classic.

Okay, so enough about the whole crying thing. lol. That's one proof of how amazing Yasmin Ahmad is in what she does. I like how every movie she makes involves all the different races & cultures of Malaysia. And it's always something everyone can relate to. Even the way they speak, the way they dress, the way they interact, the obstacles & daily happenings they go through. I guess that's what distinguishes her from all other Malaysian directors.

Some of the known actors & actresses who played in the movie were, Harith Iskandar, Ida Nerina, Adibah Nor, and even Jaclyn Victor. Ohh, and watchout for the guy who plays the character Mahesh, freakkin' cute okaaaaay!! Hahaha ;D


Starbucks! Which we DIDN'T have. Lol ;P

Ohh yeahh, and the soundtracks of the movie are really good. They're actually songs played by the characters in the talentime contest they entered in the movie. I'm not sure if it's they're real voice. But I love the songs! If I find em on youtube I'll be sure to post em here ;)


We LOVE the Jonas Brothers!!! NOT. ;P

Before the movie, we hung out at Borders. That was fun, LMAO. As you can see, we had a lil photoshoot there. The employees there kept passing by and looking at us freaks. Haha.

Anyway, I think I better stop here. Coz if I don't, I might just go on & on about what went on today, I start crapping. Besides, I have one last assignment to finish up & study for the finals. 2 weeks to go!! Wish me luuccckk :D
