Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale

I've been blogging for quite some time, and this is the first time I have ever joined any competition for my posts. My posts has been generally about my life, movies and so on. But when I saw that Nuffnang was giving out movie passes to the latest Disney movie, Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale, I had to join!!!!

So I wrote an entry entitled If I Had Rapunzel's Hair and posted the link to Nuffnang.

Guess what???!!!! I managed to win myself two tickets to watch the screening of Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale!!!!

THANK YOU NUFFNANG!!

The screening was on the 24th of November 2010 at 9.30pm, at The Curve =)


Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale is a movie about a girl, Rapunzel, with 70 feet of long magical golden hair. It is an action packed and hilarious movie with a beautiful soundtrack.

Rapunzel was stolen from her parents when she was a baby, and locked away in a tower where she was raised by the kidnapper like the child of her own. She was told that the outside world was dangerous and that she had to keep herself safe. She believed that it was her real mother, and abide to her rules without question.


Longing for adventure, she made a deal with a handsome bandit, Flynn Rider and together, they set off for an adventure!!!!


This movie is awesome, and I would say it is worth to watch it in 3D!! =) I love the songs sang in it, beautiful. And the storyline is mesmerizing!!!! I think Rapunzel's big green eyes are just pretty!!!!!

This movie is Disney's 50th movie. How cool is that?????

I'm looking forward for a lot of other movies, but in for now, I need to concentrate on my finals which are coming up soon.

Have you watched Rapunzel??

Insignificant

I'm trying to start over

all over again

this time, you're insignificant.

I wont care, I wont judge, I do not want to know

Maybe it isn't such a bad idea after all

Yes, it definitely isn't =)

And again, yes, I am happy.

Happier. =)

Something For Everyone

I don't have anything to wear

Look in your closet!!! It's like falling down any second!!

Haha. The usual conversation I will be having with myself whenever I think of going out.

I think my wardrobe needs a makeover. And I have limited space for that. I buy stuff like once a month or so. No wonder. I have A LOT of stuff which I've hardly worn and I wonder when I will even wear them again.

So yes, I'll be selling off my stuff, at a very cheap price!!!

Wait till it comes, will update you soon =)

Ps: Thanks to Wafaa and Shahadah for the inspiration =) heeeeee

I Love The Way You Lie

Everyone lies. Its only a matter of how big or how small the lie can be, or will it hurt another or only hurt oneself. People lie for various reasons, be it selfish, personal or for the benefit of others. They lie for a reason, a purpose only known deep down in their hearts.

Sometimes people find reasons to lie, and sometimes people lie for a reason. Is lying acceptable?

Most of us don't realize that when we lie it is because we want to escape something and not face the consequences. But why must we lie? And why must people lie to us?

First, we lie to avoid. Avoid anything, anyone, everything. It is easier to keep things a secret rather than to put it in public. We worry about people's perspective about the truth, and if the truth might hurt someone we care.

Second, people lie to us because who we are. They know, or assume we can't take the truth. So lying will keep us feel like nothing is happening and that everything is perfect. People lie to us to make us feel better when things are not right.

Do we have the right to call someone a liar?

Perhaps. Maybe.

We can say to someone who lied to us "why didn't you tell me the truth? I would have forgave you" or "You should have told me earlier, now it can't be fix anymore." Right, as if we would know for sure how we would feel even if we tell the truth from the beginning.

We blame people for not telling us the truth, claiming that we are able to handle it. Doesn't it seem like we are just in denial. Not trying to find fault in ourselves and point fingers at everyone else. It is easier that way, the guilt and the sorrow doesn't last that long when we turn it into hatred and despise.

Sometimes we do have to look deep into ourselves and try to imagine if we have the power to turn back time, would we really be okay if the truth was told and not the lie? Like really?

I don't know the actual reason people lie. There are millions. But I do know that people lie, to save themselves, and also another. Most of us aren't that selfish. Some lie in the name of love. Nothing's fair in love and war. So I guess we shouldn't judge.

But we should also keep lying to a minimum, as trust is hard to gain.

And we need to reflect ourselves if we've been lied too. Maybe we wouldn't take it that well after all.

Maybe.

A Day Trip Home

I went back to Kelantan for one night to celebrate Eid with my whole family. Celebrating Eid together is a big deal for my family, especially when my parents came back all the way from Dubai just to be with us. It felt good to be able to gather as a big family. Even my uncle and his family was back, and it was a complete fullhouse on Wednesday.

Aidiladha celebration is about sacrifices. You know the story right? I mean all those muslims out there! For heavens sake, read about our religion history more than those online gossips will you?

Every day life demands us to be more rigid and more independent. If you don't think for yourself and make decisions wisely, life will just pass you by. Sacrifices are part of life. You have to be blunt and work with it.

Anyway, I received great news from London. Looks like my application has been approved and I'll be going there soon! Can't wait to see Sara and baby Mika :)

His Tears

Last week's episode of Vampire Diaries was an uproar!!! I love every second of it! Haha. It was exciting.

Yes, I am a person who easily gets touched by simple gestures, be it an effortless drawing by a small kid, a bunch of roses by someone special, movies, songs, pictures, memories, you name it.


But the ultimate is when a guy cries while looking in your eyes!

And Damon did it. *falls in love!*

It was so charming, the way he looked into Elena's eyes and told her that he loved her, and those words. *faints!*

"I need to say it once. You need to hear it. I love you, Elena."

"God, I wish you won't have to forget this, but you do" - compels Elena with tears in his unblinking eyes and leaves.


Isn't it easy if you can make someone forget all the pain so fast, as if it never happened? I wish it would be easier to erase memories and feelings, just like that.

I wish.

Its Highschool All Over Again

Wafaa was literally nagging me to watch this movie at the cinema. I don't have any companion to watch it anyway, everyone has their own plans. So I had to postpone till I finally had the time to watch it.



You Again, was basically a very light and hilarious movie I would say. Sometimes I would bumped into someone at the shopping mall and quietly in my heart say, "Oh, its you again!" It doesn't mean that I am not happy seeing that person, the person simply takes me for surprise =)

This movie is about Marni, a grown up lady who had face the most worst phase of life during her high school years. Not only that she was called MOO *her name is Marni Olivia Olsen* she was bullied and looked down by everyone around her.

Her big brother on the other hand was the it guy, the basketball player, every girl's dream =) *gleaming eyes*. He told her not to be dictated to be whoever, but strive to change and become someone new.


But Marni's nightmare starts once more when her brother decided to marry her one and only, sole enemy, JJ, the it girl from high school that practically made her life a living hell. At first she was convinced that JJ has forgotten about her, but then she realized that JJ was only pretending and she wanted to show her brother who JJ really was!!

A lot of other things happen along the way which were funny and you feel like jumping off the chair!!

In the end, JJ apologized for all the bad things that she has done, and she regrets everything in the past. They had a wonderful wedding and the whole family was happy.


This movie has a lot of values!!!

• don't make other people's life a living hell just because you think you're so good, you might just regret it one day
• if you really feel bad about what you did, apologize. Its better than doing nothing
• forgiving is the easiest way

IF I HAD RAPUNZEL’S HAIR

70 feet of long magical golden hair?

At first thought, it could be quite a hassle. Even with my not-so-long hair I'm spending a lot to keep it maintained, what more with 70 feet!

When I was younger, I used to have these fine curls in my hair, yet I despise them. It was so hard to keep them together and I was teased as the doll of the class. My classmates wanted to turn a key and make me dance.

I've had different hairstyles before. Name it. Bob cut, trimming, straight cut. I've done it all!!!! I've had fringes like those china-dolls, and even a boy cut!


Then I discovered the beauty of rebonding, and I've been doing that ever since.

But I miss the curls in my hair, so I curled them, again! And I think that made it!

My curly hair!!!

I've always wanted long princess-like hair. I know it looks pretty on dolls, but what can I do, I love it!!

I think Barbie has perfect hair and I have always wanted her hair!!!!!

70feet of hair would definitely make my way into the world's record and I would definitely be famous!!

Magic hair, I would want to explore the magic that is has, maybe cutting it into pieces can turn it into gold? So I would donate a few stands of my hair to those in need, like Robin Hood!


I love Aurora's hair, Sleeping Beauty. Long, wavy and gold! Exactly what her fairy godmother wished for.

But it doesn't matter how your hair is like, what matters is how you feel about it. As long as you're happy and content, nothing matters =)

Me and Kakak, loving our hair =)

Never Trust A Pretty Girl With A Dark Secret

I know I have no life. LoL. Every other day, besides studying *yeah right* I download series! Haha. And I was introduced by dearest Pink to this series.

*Pretty Little Liars*

I'm easily addicted to series, and I was sick during the weekend, so I finished the whole first seasons within 24 hours! I'm crazy that way, so just mind me, okay? haha.

The show was really nice, it was about a group of 5 friends where their queen bee, Alison had gone missing for a year, and found buried at the backyard of her house.

However, the other remaining friends still gets messages, emails and everything from a mysterious person - A. The thing is, the things mentioned are only the secrets known by Alison. So, who is A?

There's also a lot of drama and suspense in this series, and you can't wait for the next episode! I'm dying for Season 2 already, and if I'm not mistaken, it'll be released in January 2011. Still a few months to go. =(

So now, I have a routine of downloading every other day =P Haha. Thanks to Ammar for teaching me how to download stuff. =)

Any other series that are interesting to watch???

Of Faith, Devotion and Undying Love

I was walking Pink to the library when she suddenly asked, "Nana, would you want a free movie ticket to watch the preview of a new movie?" Pink, honestly, you should have stopped at the word "Free". Haha.

Pink was lucky enough to be at CIMB Bank Dengkil during one lunch hour and won two free tickets to watch the preview of a movie in Midvalley - Hachiko. It was on the 2nd of November, a Tuesday. I immediately agreed =)

Arriving home from the community clinic at about 6 on that Tuesday afternoon, I quickly changed and got ready. After prayers, Pink came over and we were off to watch our 'free movie'. We were giggling all the way, since it was a school night and all. Excited, of course! Haha. Wafaa and Bee was supposed to come with us but due to unfortunate events they can't make it. So it was a night for two.

We arrived MidV at about 8 and immediately collect our tickets! =)

Pink was full after having ?fried bananas? for tea so I decided to have a decent burger for dinner.

9pm, we stepped into the cinema hall.


Hachiko is based on a true story of a loyal dog who awaits for the return of his master every single day for nine years, till he finally passed on. I've heard about this story before, but I can't remember the whole detail.

It was an amazingly touching story, a story that ca make you cry buckets of tears. Trust me, I have my fair share. It shows how love can be shared between man and animals. Hachiko did not know that his master had passed away, so he waited for him to come back at the railway station every single day. It was heartbreaking, but according to stories, he was helped by many who passed by.

Nine years! Can you imagine that??

What was Hachiko thinking, what did he felt? Its so hard to interpret. He can't voice out his sadness, his longing to see the person who raised him. Worst, he can't understand why he hasn't come back! *cry*sobs*cry*


In Japan, there is a bronze statue of Hachiko at Shibuya Station. Rumour has it that Hachiko was present during its unveiling. How sweet!

Dogs are so cute!!!! I want one! I remember when I was small all my friends had dogs and mummy had to buy me a dog-soft-toy so that I wont be sad. Heeeee =)

This is a really good movie, just remember to bring a box of tissue along. =)

Ignorance is Bliss

There are some things that you can easily let go without a single effort. Those things usually involve the things which are not so important or things that have nothing to do with you.

Certain things that matter can also be easily let go, provided the situation abides to certain circumstances and you are ready to move on. Some things might need a little bit more time to be able to be relieved, might take more than just a few seconds to make everything fall back into place.

Sometimes you don't realize how much something hurts you until the reality settles in. Things get difficult when all you try to do is just to seek for a single confession, and when you get it, you don't feel how you thought you would feel.

Some things are better ignored than to be approached. But curiosity kill the cat, though known, still does not stop a heart burning with desire to find out. Its not truth you want to know, its just honesty. So you say. Things might easily be said rather than done. It might not be so easy. I don't know.

I wish I could turn back time. I don't want to know. It hurts. Sorry. Give me time, I hope I'll be okay. For now, its hard, really hard. I'm sorry.

Love Me If You Dare

Game or not??

I went over to Pink's a few days ago to collect some series and movies that she think I would like. One of them was this french movie, but due to the fever, I did not immediately watch it. Last night, being super bored, adik and I decided to watch a movie.

This movie is a sweet movie about two friends who literally grew up together playing the game of dare. The prize was a round shaped tin which had a picture of a carousel with all the horses and the wonderful colours. The boy's mom died of cancer, and the girl was living in a poor condition. Together, they made life livable and they survived the odds together.

Wouldn't it be weird if life was really just a game, and to win it, we have to hurt and be hurt again and again. Sometimes we just don't get the rules, we cross lines. For some, it is easy to jump back, and there are those who would just be swayed away with what's across that line.

Can a girl be a boy's bestfriend? I say yes, though many may object me. I have a lot of guy friends who end up just being friends with me. And I have one who goes a long way back, a critic in my life, and someone who would stand up for me to protect me. I know he'll do anything to keep me safe though his words don't usually say so. Cynical, yes. But he's so far, and I feel so lost not being able to call my bestfriend when I need him the most. Oh, if you're reading this, don't blush okay! I know I said I'll be fine without you here, but I guess I still need you, just like when I needed back then when we were 17 and I got my heart broken. This is a friendship I know will last. See, you can be bestfriends. Please come home soon!

I would love to bring out that little girl in me once more, to be able to do things and just cry when I feel like it. I miss my other bestfriends who are some working and some studying far far away. I just miss laughing on the bed in our pjs and talk about school, teachers and people we love.

The movie was cute, but in the end you'd have to realize that no everything in life is a game, nor could it be a dare. It is written, and once you chose it, you can never turn back. If life is just a game, then who's counting?

Sometimes People Just Misunderstand

I was sick since Tuesday so I skipped class on Wednesday evening. Thankfully it was just one class and I had the strength to wake up and go to the one on Thursday. What's better is Friday was public holiday :) . My fever didn't do me any mercy and my nose was literally killing me.

Anyway, on Friday I had a sisters outing day with my two gorgeous sisters, and we went for a movie! Cartoon, and in 3D! Don't blame us, we were practically raised by disney! LoL. But there were many adults too in the cinema :) hehe.

Megamind is an awesome movie! Its about a villain and a good guy.

However, the ending was not as expected in the beginning, nothing was! It was an awesome twist in the story that no one expected! Huhu..



So what have I learn from this movie (cartoons will usually have more values to learn from as it is a great form of teaching)

1. Sometimes you just be who other people want you to be, without realizing who you really are inside
2. 'Follow the flow' does not really apply in life, you have to fight for the things you love
3. Don't bully kids in school! They don't know anything.
4. If you are a big bully, maybe its time to start looking for those who were bullied by you and start apologizing! Yes!
5. Sometimes friends make you realize things you never realized before, and turn you into someone you'd never expect to be.



Anyway, I suggest that it is a MUST for everyone to watch this movie! Its cute and has its own moral values. I love it! And we were laughing the whole time till I got dyspneoa due to the cold and unresolved flu.

And yes, as expected I came home with a high grade fever. Great. Sigh. I really hope to get well by Monday. Its okay to be sick during holidays, despite the fact that I'd be home all day. But I am enjoying all the rest and attention, so yea :) haha

of fate

We often wonder why things turn out to be of a certain way, why the end is not what we imagined in the beginning and the journey that we went through may not go smoothly according to what we have in mind. We look back, trying to figure out where we went wrong and how things changed, not realizing some small steps that we've taken that changes things as well. Being in denial is an easy escape. We never would want to admit what we did was wrong, and keep on pointing fingers to everyone else.

Gossip Girl season 4 episode 7 taught me a lot about fate. I almost went into tears when Chuck met Blair for truce and they finally agreed that it was no one's fault. It was fate. Its not that fate didn't want them to be together, but the circumstances and events that made them sway their paths despite their desire separated them. And its irreversible.

I can so relate to this situation, a perfect situation where everything is a dream come true, yet unchangeable occurrence made our decisions differ completely, and we find destiny in a different way, from everything we ever expected.

Who can blame if there is a change of the heart? Nor one can blame if the lust is stronger. How would you know, to tell which is which? Only time.

Fate has been playing its strings in every single soul, yet we are still subjected to abide by the religious way of seeing things, where destiny is already and has always been predetermined. Maybe what we want is not the best for us, yet at that moment it was perfect. Truth is, it is a stepping stone to what is really meant to be.

Will we ever find out? Yes. Give time :)
