Chocs, Fruits & Bots

Yesterday, I went out to watch Transformers with the blood sisters. It's been 2 weeks I think, since it premiered, and the ticket was still 12ringgit. Blehh. How long does it usually take to go down? A month? I honestly don't know. I'll have to keep that in mind once I do find out. The world needs to know the tips & tricks of staying on a budget these days. I don't see, catching a movie on the day it premiers to be a necessity or coolifying achievement. Well, if you can afford it, why not. There's no wrong to it, that's just one of the things I choose to modify to be aligned with how the economy's affecting me financially. Am I making any sense here? No? Yes? (-_-).

The movie was not bad. Not THAT great either, though. I mean, since the first day it premiered, I've been seeing update after update on facebook, with people parading their imaginary "I've Watched Transformers, In YOUR FACE!" certificate, and how awesome, how coooool the movie is, and that you'd die if you don't see it (okay, okay, I may have gone a lil overboard there).

I will keep you to my heart. Yesterday, Today, Forever. Until my last breath. LOL, we bought the chocolate, for the chocolate. The words ain't mean a thing.

Spoiler ALERT!
Well, the robots never cease to awe me, but the story line & script wasn't all that great. However, the few parts that I liked, involved this character called Jetfire, a decepticon from the olden days, the first generation of transformers, who decided to change sides and fought for the Autobots. The movie was nearing to the end, you know, the typical part where the good guy gets pretty weak, and it seems like there's no hope for them to survive, bla bla bla. In this case, it was Optimus Prime, who was just brought back from the dead (yes, they can die), Jetfire wanting to serve the Autobots like he did in the old days, sacrificed his 'part' (heart) & gave it to Optimus, which made Optimus evolve into a stronger robot with extra powers. The evolution was so astonishing, I realised my face was spazzing out in amusement as I watched. LOL.

One character I seriously didn't like was Sam Witwicky's mom. OMG. So annoying, I could shoot her. I guess they needed her for comedy? Seriously, NOT FUNNY. Plus, for a mom, the way she spoke, her language just wasn't right. Plus, the so-called love connection between Sam & Micaela has got to be the MOTHER of all cliches. I'm a pro-cliche-er, but sometimes cliche has its limits.
Aaahh, that's all I've got. Heee, it's still worth the watch though. Juz not as blockbuster-ish as everybody says it is.

Blast from the past. Haha, I found this photo while I was cleaning up the guest room before it was renovated. Tiqah was still a lil baby then, so I'm assuming this was taken in our house in Brisbane in maybe, 1990? Think so. Good ol days =) The days where the bowl-haircut used to be the in-thing for 3 year olds, & pink tricycles were for rockin' kiddos *wink wink*.

Anyway, we got home that night to an orchard. Dad brought back rambutans, mangosteens, dukuns & duriaaaans! Woot woot! Hahaha, yeahh I bet everyone else's having fruit buffets all around Malaysia. There's nothing like the fruit season here in the lands of Malaya ;)

I'm thinking, if I left out any of the stuff I wanted to talk about?
I'll get back to it, if I did :)
Till then ♥
