From the One & Only

mmm..............
feeling giddy...unsure....confused...
having a 'Monday' moment, I guess...




From the One & Only

My idol from the 80's...

I remembered I first saw him in 1986...totally blown away with his performance with Michelle Yeoh in 'Royal Warriors'....that gazing look, those fangs, that hair, those suave martial arts moves, really got into me... A protege of Sonny Chiba,..he was THE 'package'...
i thot i lost him since then, as I was so busy with I don't know what...
Little did I know that he got so 'big',..he was practically everywhere...in TV serials, commercials, theatres, more movies,...and it got him all over the world...Hollywood wanted a piece of him too, getting him in THE LAST SAMURAI and the upcoming SUNSHINE...anybody needs a Japanese star?...they'll cast him in..He was such a chameleon, that i failed to recognise him behind all those makeup and disguise meant for his roles...
I remembered that he usually get killed in his movies..be it as a hero, or a villain......and I cried when he 'died' in his role as the legendary Sakamoto Ryoma..brutal killing scene...but he 'died' beautifully and in the most handsome face, thrusting his cute samurai ponytail hairdo into the air...only to be ended with a painful thud on his chest...*aaawwww*
(To put down his whole filmography here would most probably flood my blog...so,..u want to find out more abt him?..go chk him out yrself...hehe)

ANYWAY..22 years later,...i caught him again when I stumbled upon THE PROMISE together with Jang Dong-Gun, Cecilia Chung and Nicholas Tse....beautiful,beautiful love story spun within a web of loyalty and courage..An international superstar in his own right,..with an enormous collection of accolades under his belt,...there's no mistake about it...
Multiple award-winning actor, dancer, singer, martial art expert, love magnet...

He is the one.

The only.

Give it up.

For..

HIROYUKI SANADA.


MY..
HIROYUKI SANADA..


P.S.
(Don't worry Stephen Chow, u are STILL my idol too...from HK,that is..)

Saturday Nite Fever

nope....not the movie...but the fever itself....fever from Thurs nite to be exact...went up and down,goes on and off ..faster than a roller coaster ride....Doctor?...no need...it'll go away...maybe it's due to the wet weather that we've been having plus the fatigue that i had lately. Can't keep complaining though.. Hujan Rahmat...A gift from God.Still,..felt miserable, with the turn of 'events' that happened. It was quite a week for me. However, I chose not to divulge any. Let's just say, behind every dark cloud lies a silver lining and I believe and I DO WANT to believe that I will get right through this 'rain' and shall wait for the sunshine all over again..and for us to get that first glimpse of sunrise, we should brace ourself for the darkest state of the sky before the rising of dawn...(dalam tu makna nya ..)

Lights, Camera, Action!

This morning, while surfing, listened to Ria 89.7FM and there was this segment called "ACTION" by Hafeez Glamour. Found out that its only on every Wed where callers are encouraged to participate by immitating/re-enact a scene from well-remembered films eg. P Ramlee films and etc.. Then callers will call-in to vote for their favourite and the winner will get to request for their fave song.(is that all?)..so before it went on air, they played this montage of previous participants with their acting.. i broke a smile and waited for the 1st participant. Then this Mbak called in to act out a scene from some Indon Sinetron.(in which I don't know of).I can't relate to anything that the MBak said..maybe its becuz I don't know the sinetron in which she re-enacted..and so Hafeez waited for another caller..Few minutes later,..there's still none...Guess what?..I picked up the fone and dialled in. (What on EARTH was I thinking!)..and it was immediately answered!..surprise2..he got my particulars and told him that ANA wud be doing a scene from 'MASAM MASAM MANIS'

..then,...while waiting for his que, i managed to msg hub who's at his office and asked him to tune in..then,..i was on air...blah..blah..blah...and got the most votes!..hehe..as for the song?...mmm..what else but my fave KEKASIH GELAPKU....(for you, sayang!)
Next stop,..want to do scenes from other P Ramlee films...camera ready?...ACTION!

Should I ..Shouldn't I...

Mmmm...recently procrastinating on whether should i start another blog specially for my other passion - FOOD...initially, I started this one as an avenue to share my food binge with all..but then it turned personal and the rest is...well...history. I know it's not THAT difficult but the problem is,..I have to dig back those pix i had been keeping and post them in..but..hehe, the REAL reason is - lazy...then again, I'll try..so, I guess,I'll go into construction now..

Apple Bread Pudding Muffin

made these the other day..(forgotten when was that)..but dont have the time to post..well,..here it is,..as explained by the pics.. I managed to get abt 48 minis and it was all gobbled up within an hour..mmmmm..ENJOY!

Crush of 1976

Previously i mentioned abt the 1976 Sayang Anakku Sayang. Did any of u remember this movie?..Had a crush on Aziz M Osman (the eldest brother) at that time.. here's a clip..

To listen, u have to stop the audio on my pink ipod on the top right hand corner of this page..

Ngo Oi Lei !..(find a cantonese friend to translate this)

1st..i must say that i didn't sleep well..hv been up since 3am plus, i think...don't ask me why..coz i don't know..my damn eyes just wouldn't shut and my mind keep venturing into a horizon-less realm...

anyway,..what i'm about to say will make the man of my life wanna puke..but i'm gonna say it anyway... i love Stephen Chow..since 1983... no time to tell it all but yesterday nite i managed to watch his latest flick, CJ7..

i don't wanna waste time writing up the synopsis of the movie. Neither do i want to be a spoiler. What i'm interested to say is that it made me laugh till i wanna pee,...AND at the same time,...made my heart palpate to hold back my tears...yes,..it made me laugh and cry at the same time..and i could only do that thru his movie,...besides the 70s "Sayang Anakku Sayang"..

it made me marvel at the talented young boy who played the role of his son. Where on earth did they discover him from?..Great job...An award for him, perhaps? I wouldn't wanna compromise about Stephen's acting. He was superb - as always. At 46, he still charms me with his silver grey streaked hair and that boyish look on his face is now the gaze of a much mature man, in which his nickname now in the industry is "Grandmaster" - a title he's most deserving to don.

the plot was SO simple, it will pass the minds of ordinary folks as just another movie...but for a mind like mine - it went deep.
It screamed the essence of the bond between father and son, integrity, honour, affection, trust and love.....camouflaged in a sci-fi, heavily-CGIed, animated cover story

Many of u would associate Stephen as the face of Comedy but he's also a gifted serious actor (check out his accolades comprising of best actor and director)...and therefore, i love him not just because he made me laugh,..but also because he can crumble me down to my last tear..all in that cute old 'kemek' face..

i wanted to cry real loud in one particular scene but held back, coz i knew i wud be mocked at..i dun get it...people who actually shed tears in movies are continuously being labelled and judged as super sensitive and are showered with mockings and jeers...Why?..just because we happen to HAVE a heart?..Come on...that's why we have tear ducts, people!..(made me remember my Ayah)

Anyways..i seriously think that this movie is a good one, if not the best. It didn't take a whole village of actors to sum up a sobbing scene - all it took was a young son, his father, and a WHOLE lot of love...

To all Stephen Chow fans - u will enjoy this one, just like u did the rest..

Seng Zhai, ngo oi lei!!


Oh yes...I WANT THAT LITTLE GREEN PET !!

Had a tough day today...

I'm feeling sad...very, very sad..

The Quest for Buah Kana..

Dear Julia...

kalau u cakap buah tu easily available near yr workplace,..dat's good....sebab it's quite hard to find them here... seriously kena cari kat tempat kedai runcit yang agak classic lagi ancient...jangan kata buah kana,...asam asin yang kaler merah tu kalau dapat,...mesti kena lenyek kat bibir...dulu time kecik2,..selalu lumur kat bibir...konon nak rasa feeling pakai lipstick...tenyeh macam tenyeh sentil!..hehe..

kat sini pun Ju,...kalau ada asam asin ni,...time raya cina banyak la...sebab i pun tak tau ape yg dorang ni feast on during their lunar new year..kita lain la...anything from A - Z,...u name it, we eat it...masam, manis, pedas, tawar,...semua ada...segala binatang laut, binatang darat,..sayur mayur,...mesti singgah perut...

akak ni bukan ape...(alamak...cakap pasal akak ni macam terasa diri ni macam Akak Ogy....dia punya AKAK tu mesti nak kasi sengau kat idung sikit..hehe)

'A..kak ni,...suka reminisce barang2 lama...bukan la akak ni otai sangat...i'm just matured and childish at the same time...(mak ai...puji diri sendiri)..but sometimes,..the old stuff are only remembered when they're gone...

so,...kadang2,..barang2 like these can actually keep us glued to our past before proceeding to the future...

alamak, Ju...kalau Ju nak panggil Akak,...i dun mind...but i think i'd just skip that whenever i address myself eh?...i'll just stick to..I / ME / AKU ...

bukan ape,...panggilan akak ni,..teringaaat pada seorang yg i kenal...negatif la...
alaa..tak kisah la..apa2 pun,...it doesn't matter...what matters most,...we stay in touch...or shud i say "networking"...hehe..

Nite.

Night at the movies..

biler aku nak tido ni...

niat di hati konon nak tido... tapi mata ni makin tebeliak pulak....

Suddenly have this craving to watch Stephen Chow's latest CJ7...sambil makan kuaci belang-belang dengan buah kana...aku pilih kuaci belang-belang pasal yg kuaci itam tu, aku tak suka...gigit, gigit, pecah...gigit, gigit,..pecah..leceh ah...bila nak game..kuaci dia pun kudut..tipis je..kalau yang belang-belang ni, ada body sikit.......paling best kalau dapat tengok in those drive-in theatres...macam zaman 60s kat US..watching movies in the open, under the nite stars...cuma popcorn aku kena tukar dengan kampung snacks...kuaci belang-belang dengan buah kana...untung nasib, dapat kacang kuda rebus pun bole la...lagi power, kalau ada buah berangan...Fuh!...terangkat!...

or maybe cry myself to sleep by watching What's eating Gilbert Grape...aah..korang tak tau kan,..cerita ape tu..tak tau takpe...janji aku sorang tau...it has Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio in his Oscar nominated role... to be watched only by those who appreciate good acting...like me...hehe

mmm...ngomong-ngomong....mana nak cari buah kana sekarang ni eh...yg packaging dia ada 3 biji buah kana wrapped in paper tipis,abey tu kena pintal...simple,..murah,..practical,...tapi biji dia ada sikit tajam kat ujung dia...kalau time isap-isap, tekena lidah,..adoi...geram punya pasal,...ptuih!..kena ludah...tu yang syok tu..

aku teringat zaman dolu2...zaman takde duit nak tengok wayang,....tiket pakai tiket daun...kepada sape yg panjat pokok time tu,...tau la...

sekarang ni,..tgk wayang tak macam dulu la...so commercial...tiket pun punya lah mahal..sampai $10 setengah..bole buat belanja pasar beb...

teringat in 1991 aku nak sangat tengok cerita Jackie Chan ..punya kalang kabut beli tiket,...sekali masuk dah gelap...wah,..dapat duduk apa lagi...excited giler la...sekali bukak cerita,...tau2...cerita Thailand!..rupa2nya kitorang salah lineup...cerita black-magic pulak tu!.dah la cakap thailand...subtitle pun subtitle cina...mati idup balik aku tak faham jalan cerita..low-budget punya effects pulak tu....apa nak buat...nak tak nak tengok aje la dengan hati yg menyumpah macam nak rak...yg macam taik nya,...satu jam aje!...punya la fed up...apa2 pun,...bukan salah aku...yg salah,...si tukang beli la...

sekarang ni dah pukul tiga pagi...kalau p ramlee masih ada, mesti dia dah nyanyi kan aku suruh tido...ini la akibatnya minum kopi malam2 ari...sama ada minat nak tengok movies in yr cable tv...

ape2 pun,...the show must go on.....

Ana....tido, na.......

Biar Pecah Di Perut

alamak....selang beberapa minit berfikir,...my mind gave up...looking back, i left my blog somewhere in September...lama tu...bulan puasa...oohh...bulan puasa,...hari raya,...cuti sekolah,...and so on....banyak cerita yang berkontrovesi dan tak kurang juga ada yang berprestasi...yang mana nak...tapi, macam dah lupa ah...takpe la..maybe i shud just start from where I had an operation to remove my appendix and another extended 2 inches more of my colon.. Sebelum tu, somewhere in December,...dah sakit la...sakit ni jangan cakap la..tak tau nak cakap exactly from when..semuanya bercampur aduk..dah lama...tapi i am a sceptical person,..not to mention super degil..bila sakit,..tahan...dah tak sakit,..buat bodoh...but it all came to a halt when i thot the pain was too much to bear and so i went to the hospital and ...blah..blah..blah...the rest is history....

wah...time kat hospital,..time muka macam daging tak empuk,...time tu lah orang datang...nak cakap tak welcome tak baik...orang besar ati nak melawat,..aku ni sebuk dengan benda2 yang tak necessary..yg tak best,..tak dapat makan,..biasalah,..perut kena tebuk in 4 places,..throat penuh dengan ulcer after being lacerated by the tube yg macam tube washing machine, which was being forced down my windpipe during the op. Aku tak dpt makan takpe la...orang yg datang ni yang makan macam kenduri kat ward tu..Fuh!..punye jealous!...tapi, terima kasih kepada family,friends,Shirin,Lynn, Sally...thanks so much...but the best part, sedara mara patient2 kat situ ingatkan aku ni operate beranak..ape dah...ade jugak satu org tanya aku.."oh..u had a baby girl, izit?"..pasal ape tau?...pasal dia ternampak aku punya teddy bear colour pink yang aku peluk macam baby tua...i'm a teddy lover...so Shirin & Lynn bought me one as a get well soon gift...I named it RUSS..(pronounced as Ras)..pasal ape aku pilih nama tu,..jgn di tanya...its face just screamed that name to me...cute tau...nanti aku taruk dia punya pic kat sini...

All in all,..Sally banyak tolong aku..Ros pun sama...thanks for all yr help in getting me up on my feet again, until last week,...where my pusat 'bocor'..doctor cakap i did not get it healed properly..lasak sangat...ape tak...baru balik hospital dah nak buat macam2..anyway,...got it fixed and i'm recuperating all over again..

Lagi satu,..i received lots of recommendations for easy and quick home remedies yg konon nya menjanjikan yg terbaik...with all due respect,..terima kasih kepada semua yg berniat baik untuk melihat aku sihat semula...dari pada kena minum air rebusan biji kelentit kering (sumpah!...bukan aku yg cakap,...orang yg jual tu yg cakap ini nama dia..some sort of belimbing bukit ke ape ntah ...),...kepada buah pala,...ke air rebusan biji kani,..dan lain2 lagi....but nothing prepared me for the worst tasting thing that my tongue had ever tasted.....aku kena minum...

PATI IKAN HARUAN GINSENG AMERIKA ..POLLENEY!!!..

Ya Allah!!!...punya seksa,..aku tak tahan dia punya hanyir la...cuma 70ml, tapi nak minum..nak kena upah dengan yakult to wash it down,...tak bole sekali togok...aku telan in 5 small, tortured, togokan...1st time minum,...nangis...

my salute to all the people yang berani makan obat tradisional...as for me,...memang tak guna...kalau minum pun,..kerana terpaksa...tapi apa2 pun,....cheers to good health!!...i hope i'll never have to minum this pati ...ever again..

Dah 2008....!!

adoi....where have i been all these while ya...

tau2...dah Feb 2008....alamak..macam missing in action,..ngalahkan orang yang gi melawat bulan pulak...the time lapse/gap was so large,..ingatkan dah nak bungkus aje this blog site...tapi,..tau2..ada tamu singgah,...terus tak jadi...tiba2 semangat di dada terasa dibakar semula...semarak semacam....InsyaAllah,..ingat nak teruskan aje lah blog nie...ada orang baca ke, takde ke, takpe lah...i'm sure if as long as i have something to tell,...then there'll always be someone ,somewhere to accidentally stumble and read my postings....

eemmm...ape nak cerita dulu eh...cerita/ kejadian tu amatlah lah membuak2 banyak nya...terasa macam satu2 tu berlumba2 nak keluar dulu...nanti ...give me a minute..maybe i shud start from where i last ended....stay tuned...coz Suhana might just be back!..
