GURU

I went to watch this hindi movie last night called "guru" with my dad, sis, cousin and his wife. So here i am blogging about the movie. Cant help myself from being a movie critic..*grins*, its not always i write about a movie (last 2 i wrote about was pirates of the carribean and da vincci code), however this time the movie was too good that i couldnt resist myself from not writting about it..*hahha*..

Movie: GURU
Director: Mani ratnam
Cast: Abhishek Bachan..( reminds me of raehan)
Aishwarya Rai......(soon 2 be wedded to abhishek)
Madhavan.
Music: A.R. Rahman..(good job on the music)

*thinks*, there's a lot to say about the movie actually but wouldnt want to spoil it for those who havent watched it yet. Guru is not your typical hindi movie that's for sure.. and by typical i mean, 2 people fall in love but their love is not approved..(bla.bla bla)., fighting scenes, family stories (K3G, kal ho na ho,). It has a very different and interesting story line. Some people might not enjoy the movie but most people i know did. Its not suprising that Guru has received good reviews, after all its directed by mani ratnam (for those who are still blur abt mani ratnam, well his the one who directed BOYs., etc. etc)...Mani ratnam is known for his good and unique movies. His movies have a deeper story line and is very realistic.

What is Guru about???. its a movie that gives you an inside on buisness and the life of an industrialist. It shows the "ups" and "downs" and also how buisness can affect the people around us. There are many values which can be learnt from the movie, and lets just say when you walked out the cinema. your actually walking out with some amount of knowledge on buisness. There were certain parts of the movie which was kinda slow, but overall i would recommend people to watch the movie.

The cast of Guru also contributed and helped make it a enjoyable and pleasant movie to watch.Abishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai do make a wonderful pair on screen and im sure they will do good off screen (seeing that they're gonna be married). In this movie, you can actually see a diff acting from abhishek compared to Dhoom 2 where he was more serious (didnt like him in Dhoom 2 ). Besides Madhavan who acts as a reporter also does potray good acting like he always does. I never actually seen him acting in a hindi movie, but he did a good job in Guru. Well no good story can be good withouht a good cast and in this case, mani ratnam sure picked a good cast. (note: Malika Sherawat makes a guest appearance as a belly dancer *not suprising*)

A.R Rahman was the music director. Eventhough i didnt really fancy all the songs, but the music and the beat was nice. One song "tere Bina" that was the nicest in that movie. A.R rahman is known for his good songs and he sure did live up to his reputation. The scenery from the movie was really nice. especially the one shot overseas, usually most hindi movies will be filmed in new york, new zealand and other places this time GURU was shot in Istanbul.

oh well, im gonna stop my rambling now.*hehehe*..bottom line is, people if you have a chance, do watch GURU cause its a good movie. (im pretty sure will win awards).

A Night To Remember

20th Jan 2007, was a Saturday. It seemed like it was just another day. Me going on about my daily routines which is practically doing nothing but watching tv and relaxing. Unlike my parents who had plans for the night,(parents and younger sis were attending a dinner at a club) and my elder sis who was attending a friend's birthday party..i didnt have any plans..(so i thought)..

I was on the phone with my close friend Sanjay Thaker (nothing new)..*hehe*..and he didnt have plans too.So we both decided to go out that night since its been quite sometime since we met up and talked.The last time i saw Jay was on Friday.(24hours is a long time)..*lol*.Anyways the plan was to go out for dessert or something and check out my Salsa classes. Im planning to take Salsa Classes to make my life more interesting and not forgetting foreign language, french i guess.(prax says these are plus points when it comes to guys)..ahahah...*fingers-crossed*..

So finally i had plans of my own...Jay picked me up at about 8.30..(his a punctual person)..and we headed to Bukit Raja as the Klang Music Center where the salsa lessons were was located there. After finding out the necessary info all, we went to Bee's bakery shop to have dessert (well i would have chosen Secret Recipe)..ehehe but Bee's was fine too..*smiles*..Then we did what every normal good friends would do..we talked and talked and talked...(we have a lot to talk about) . thats kinda suprising eventhough we talked on the phone for about 1/2 hour before that..*laughs*..

I had to be home by 10 pm, so we left as soon as we were done. I got home safe and sound and most importantly in one piece..excluding the scar..(your forgiven).., I had a really great time and it meant a lot cause i wasnt in my best of mood lately. But the night was far from over, once we reached home. we decided to take a walk around my area...it was a perfect weather for a walk.(besides needed to digest my food)..im putting on weight..hehe...Well the night ended well and too me that was certainly a night to remember........

Short Talk

Here's a brief note on the so called " interesting" and "fun" things that happened over the weekend:

1. My all time fav prog American Idol is back *whee!!* in an all new Season.(audition rounds). Its really hillarious and very entertaining.(for those who wanna catch it, it airs on Star world live at 6.00-8.00 pm and repeats 8.00-10.00pm every wed and thurs)

2. Damn Internet is not working (dum streamyx) and those people seem to be taking their own sweet time.

3. Watched Godfather (starring ajith and asin), interesting tamil movie but with a stupid ending *how typical*

4. Star Movies played the final episode of Star Wars : Return Of The Jedi.( Star Wars RULEZ!!)

5. Dinner at grandma's place because we have a new family member, my baby cousin bro who at the moment doesnt have a name.*hehe*...(but his SOOOOO adoraable)

6. Plan on taking Salsa Classes *yippie*, hopefully dal joins as well.(Salsa Babes)..lol..and also a foreign Language either french or mandarin.

Losing My Way

I've encountered many situations where i felt that my life relates to a story in a book, a song on the radio, a tv program or movie. Im sure many people have been in my shoes before. So one of this many situations was when my friend Raehan introduced me to this song "losing my way" by the ever so popular Justin Timberlake..rae pretty much intro-ed me to a lot of other songs..and i enjoyed all of it.( rae got good taste in music)..So before i actually listened to the song, rae told me to listen to the lyrics..Most people just listen to the song for the music or because of the artist..but the true beauty of the song lies in its lyrics..(exceptional for Eminem songs, Akon's bad version of i wanna love you, the list goes on)..heheheh...

So after listening to the song,i realised that it could relate to the situation i was in. In Justin's word i was 'losing my way' , well not sure whether many have heard this song, its a real nice song (go dwnld it)..well below is the lyrics to the song. Hope other people can relate to it just like me,


Hey excuse me
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
I make forty-some dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
'til I started to lose my way
It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See I can put down the pipe

And...

And it's breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?

It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
(chorus)

Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?

Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have gave anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter'seyes

And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While me dreams fall downIs anybody out there?

It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody out there hear me?'
Cause I can't seem to hear mysel
fCan anybody out there see me?'
Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?C
an anybody out there feel me?'
Cause I can't seem to feel myself.

(chorus)
Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray)'

Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?'
Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.

(Repeat above)

(Chorus)

L.O.V.E

Scenario 1:

(a boy and a girl walking along the beach under the bright moonlight on a cold winter's night)

Boy: we have known each other for quite sometime now, and well i would like to take this relationship to the next level
Girl: *takes a deep breath*
Boy: i am willing to give you anything and i promise to make you happy..
Girl: (still in silence)
Boy: I love you with all my heart...would you be my GF
Girl: yes, i love you to.

-the end-

I am sure, almost each and every one of us have come across or been in this situation...(ok maybe not under the moonlight and stuff)..im talking about being in love. Or do we think that we are in love but it might be a different feeling altogether. What is Love??? yeah im sure we could look up the dictionary and find its definition, but i personally feel. each indivual has their own definition to the word LOVE...In my opinion, its a sign of feeling incomparable to any other, where you put your partner ahead of you and your willing to sacrifice yourself for your partner.....however i strongly believe that the word LOVE is very much overated these days......


Having watched movies such as Titanic, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai..we all wish to be in that situation.( not the sinking ship of course..that's a big NO!).... We dream to have someone to love so much and loves us back equally or more...it would be a plus if it was like hrithik roshan, or orlando bloom *dreams*..(coming back to reality)..we just have to make do with what we have. We must not fail to realise that life is not like in the movies. It is more real than ever before and also when it affects us, the feeling is so much more realistic.

I wouldnt deny that i have said the word LOVE well countless amount of time, but howelse would i explain the feeling i have. Is love and true love the same thing??..how would u differenciate it??..Given a situation where a guy has had 3 or 4 gf, does that mean he has been in love 3-4 times???..Lets say person A was in a 3 month relationship, can person A justify that he/she was actually in love??...Most of us including me have actually misunderstood the meaning of LOVE..till today im still figuring it out. I guess i just longed for someone who would treat me special, make me happy..etc.etc.etc..(dont all of us want that)...i believe the true meaning of love is much deeper than that..i would like to salute all those people i know who have been in a relationship for 2 years or more, its a great thing to having gone through so much and still being able to maintain your bond..i guess these ppl must truly be in love......


Falling for someone can bring so much happiness and joy to not only yourself but to others, it makes you feel a whole lot different.There are times when the relationship will not work out, during this period of time things will get rough and the aftermath of it will leave one party heartbroken. Some might even lose faith in love but always remember that you have to go through a few rotten apples to finally taste a sweet one. And at that point of time, you will cherish every single bite of that sweet apple.

So for those single people in search of love or giving up on it..just take note that there is someone out there for each and everyone of us. Some might have already found their ONE and some might not,.just dont lose faith and look at the bright side of things. Falling in love does not happen overnight but when it does happen, it makes every single tear shed, every heartbroken moments, every scar worthwhile....


Love is like age, it matures as we get older....

A Day In My life.....

Well im basicly a really simple girl..(i know some might deny.hehe)..but i really truly am one. A day in my life would go something like this.........


Since i havent started my higher education like my other friends..(the a-levels ppl who are continuing their program, cal doing his accounting thingy in sunway, dalini leaving me for brickfields to do law, hamjay whose in TCPJ..oh and mathan also..my classmates in monash, TCSJ and basicly the list goes on)...i am well pretty much doing nothing..well in other terms im just " bumming" around....However since 2 weeks ago, my dad has somehow convinced (money involved..ehehe) to come work for him at his office. I also agreed since doing something was so much better than staying at home, gettin up late, watching tv, using the computer, chatting.....*hmm*..ok i might be wrong..lol....anyhow, i am currently working for my dad in his engineering office.

For those who know me well, i am sure you would be thinking " i thought your dad was a doctor", welll he still is practicing but he likes to get involved in other stuff too..its pretty complicated lar..so i will spare you the unnecessary complication. Getting back to topic, my day is basicly at my dad's office..and what is it that i do in the office you might ask????....here's a little summary...

1. opening up..(inclusive of on the lights, switches,etc./)
2. on the computer and get connected to the internet.
3. stare blankly and wait for someone to give me some work to do.....
4. if i do have work to do, i usually finish it in 2 hours
5. check my emails, frenster and as you can see blogging
6. Sms my friends...

Basicly it can be boring but the good part to it is that im gettin paid for all this..ahahah...I go back home from 12- 2 for my lunch break and then come back to continue " work" till 5..... I really look forward going back to my home sweet home..as soon as i reach home, i head for my comfort zone.(my bed) to get some shut eye.(1 hour sleep)...this is followed by me watching tv, having my bath, dinner time and using the computer....therefore it can be concluded that im pretty much a very simple girl, going about doing her simple things in her simple day...although once in a while my life can be not so simple.

What Live Has In Store For Me

Its been 4 days since my last post. i've been busy trying to sort out my life more towards the education aspect. Not a day passes by without me missing my college life, my friends and well my lecturer's. Taylor's college..oops its now known as Taylor's University College was truly a memorable experience which i will treasure. As we grow older, things seem to be more complicated, i guess its because we're taking on more responsibities. Like in primary school and secondary, our path was already laid in front of us...sit for UPSR, followed by PMR and then SPM...after that the journey gets tough...especially when it comes to deciding our career.. I have to admit that i really envy those who already know what they want to do with their lives and well have gone on to pursue it. i guess some of us are late bloomers...*sigh*.

For me college wasnt that much complicated either, all i had to do was sit for my South Australian Matriculation. Now since that's done, and results is out..its time for me to decide my future....Questions! questions! question!..my mind is filled with them....im a person who naturally thinks a lot....thats what my friends also say...its not like thinking is a bad thing but over thinking is not good too.....Since young, i wanted to do medicine and specialise in radiology like my mum. but after not many encouragement i started doubting my choice....so i opened my options to well a whole lot of stuff...but then i really disliked physics and maths, that basicly eliminated a lot of things and im down to health sciences again....Thus after much delibration i decided to study Dentistry...why u ask?..well cause:
1. its a growing field and is in high demand
2. im a person who always wants to do new things, ..i know you might be thinking that dentist only pull out teeth and thats their daily routine..well my friends..im going to SPECIALISE
3. it has more flexibility compared to medic. thus it will give me more ME time..
4. it has a good pay.
5. seems interesting, might even open my own clinic..lol.


Although i really dont find it a fascination looking into people mouth, well im tryin to look at the bright side of it.i mean how bad can it be????...*yikes*..i seriously never thought dentistry would be my choice...it just came to me a week ago. im still feeling nervous and having butterflies in my stomach, but im tryin not to think abt it. Ever since my results. people have been tellin me everything happens for a reason, honestly it really doesnt help much..however im just takin it and basicly see what happens.

At the moment, im tryin to apply for uni's and well lets just say things arent going to well. a word of advice, during college people might tell you that you still have time to think about your future..believe me that's not true..My advice is well use every second of every moment and look up the internet on what you wish to do in your future, because last minute entrance into uni will be a disaster...(speaking out of experience)..


life is full of mystery,
we are the detectives,
to uncover and unfold the mysteries life has in store for us.
