HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HARNEYMARHONEY

HAPPINESS ALWAYS, STAY HEALTHY, ALL THE BEST IN YOUR STUDIES AND LIFE IN GENERAL...MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE

CAK!

Over the weekend and the Maulidur rasul public holiday, nothing much happened...me attended a wedding, a reunion cum farewell hi tea, watch movies...

The movies i went to was Street Fighter and The Watchmen....I watched Street fighter at GSC Pavilion on Saturday and The Watchmen at TGV KLCC on Monday...Street Fighter starred kristin kreuk(Lana Lang in Smallville). Michael Clark Duncan(played a falsely accused prisoner in the green mile) but the story i found to be very boring, too much hype out of nothing...Street Fighter tells the story of Chun Li (kristin kreuk) who searches for her kidnap father and when her father died, planned revenge on his father's captors...the usual martial arts, kungfu fighting...

The Watchmen, another much hype but boring story...tells the story of superheroes who came back from retirement to protect the world from nuclear war back when the cold war time...this story first of all, there was no rating for it - it has some scene which i found to be obscene like a love making scene, the main hero Dr Manhattan is a mutant who are blue and naked, during the beginning there was like an underwear covering him but towards the end, the part was just blurred...me was very 'keliru' watching this movie...pening2

On sunday i attended a wedding in Kg Pandan, a son of my hubby colleague got married...reached there around 12 30pm, trus mkn buffet style, x sempat nk tgu berarak pn coz time tu org tgh ramai and tpt duduk terhad...

after the wedding, me went to Jusco Tmn Maluri jap sementara tgu time nk gi my fren house kat Bdr Tun Razak, jemputan nye kul 2 30pm...pusing2 kat situ tgh sale pulak tu, bought a NYC brand sandals to replace my sandal yg telah 'hancus' dek kena ujan time gi melaka n JB aritu...very comfy sandal ni...memandangkan tgh sale tu, me gi renew ler my jusco card...ramai gak kat customer service counter, siap kena ambik nombor...so round2 lagi sementara tgu my turn....lps dh renew jusco card, me trus beredar to my fren house...

sampai there, ramai gak org kat umah die, rupenya die ade buat doa selamat sekali in the morning....oh yea, the occasion was a reunion cum farewell hi tea coz my fren tu nk sambung buat PHD kat UK and 28hb ni dh nk fly off ...so dptlah jumpe geng2 lama kat rumah dier....So all the best Zarul, this time katanye 4 years so itulah dier dh siap warning dgn kitaorg nnt kat airport suh smua nanges sesama dgn die....hehehehe...tgklah kalo ade kelapangan that day, i might come to KLIA and send you off with the others...so below the piccas taken at his house that day...mmg miss sgt geng2 ni smua, masing2 dh bz and dh lost contact tp dh dpt sambung balik thru myspace and facebook...

Zarul (in black)
