Madamoiselle: Sweeney Todd




Frustrated!!


I was excited when I saw in the papers that "Meet the Spartans" movie was shown in the cinema today for its sneak preview. When we got there, we were let down when they said that the movie was BANNED!! I am not sure for what reason but it was a real big bummer! I needed a laugh today but was disappointed with the banned thingy. I guess, the movie was not funny at all.Probably!

Despite of the need to laugh, I went ahead for "Sweeney Todd- The demon Barber of Fleet Street", a throat slashing story of love, lies, revenge, blood-splurting and meat pies. The surprising bit, it's a musical movie, lots of singing from start to end, horror and love type musical and I find it very unique. Johnny Depp looks almost the same as he was in "Edward Scissorhand" but without the cute pouting lips and scissors..hehehe.. The story had a tragic end, and I think I like it eventhough it felt tiring to watch it in 2 hrs straight with singing all the way. The songs was great, love the songs but it was like..thee whoooooole waaaaay of 2hrs singing...feels like being swayed to tiredness...sleep..hehehe..hey it's a musical movie I should have known. Still,I like this movie and I'd rated it 7 out of 10.

Synopsis:

Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp), a man unjustly sent to prison, vows revenge not only for the cruel punishment but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, he becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who slits the throats of his customers and use their bodies to be made into meat pies by his amorous accomplice, Mrs Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter). Alan Rickman plays the evil Judge Turpin who sent him unfairly to prison, withe Timothy Spall is the Judge's wicked associate Beadle Bamford. Sacha Baron Cohen is a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli, and Christopher Lee takes on the role of the gentleman ghost.

Time: 1hr 55mins,
Genre: SRD, Suspense
Casts: Timothy Spall, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Johnny Depp, Sacha Baron Cohen
Directed by: Tim Burton

Madamoiselle: P**s**D



Dear You,

These few days, this is what we all have been doing / feeling :

P -Partly
I - Ignoring
S - Some
S - Sick
E - Ego
D - Discriminators

I'm being irrational. Haven't been like this for a long time. You took our smile away and you are definitely enjoying it. Excruciating? Yes, We admit. It is painful. But We'll make sure you're not in your comfort zone either.
Thank you for trying to exist in our life. Thank you for your "Greatness" you have in yourselves. Thank you for being there when you're very much NOT needed. Thank you for colouring our world, another shades of gray.

Sarcasms? You have been our great icons. You thought us well. Some of us are learning our best to outdo you with your skills. Bear with us, We'll get better soon, Sifus.

So dear you, you or you, Take your time, you've thought you had found 'Glory'. Go ahead, show your prides, boost your egos, We can't be 'killed' with the tiny d*** you can only have!

This dedication goes out to all who thought that this could be for you hehehehe.... :p

Madamoiselle: Pulau Hantu


Just returned from the cinema to catch up a new movie . There weren't much choices at the Kiulap Mall, and I was planning for the Johnny Depp movie, 'Todd Sweeny' ??..I think, I don't remember the title. Unfortunately, yesterday was it's sneak preview and the movie will only be shown by this Thurday. Other choices I got is 'Cloverfield' and I am in no mood for a monster thingy. My Poq sister insist for a Ghost story and so watched the "Pulau Hantu" aka " Ghost Island", an indonesian movie, which tells a story about a group of teens having a last minute stay at a resort in an island. Okay let me just cut & paste the synopsis hehe...

Synopsis:

Eight close friends go on a vacation, but their yacht is then derouted to a secluded beautiful island. They decided to spend their holiday there. Out of their knowing, behind the beauty of the virgin island, there is a dark secret. While these eight teenagers are having fun in the beach, the spirit that haunts the island is lurking from behind and below, bringing death to them one by one.


I don't know why but I'm starting to lose interest with Indonesian ghost stories. No offense ...I used to like their ghost movies.They used to make good ones long time ago.But lately, they seem to run out of ideas. Or was it because, those times I was still a kid and was much easily scared off than now. Teehheee!! The movie was a 5 out of 10 for my verdict. I think I prefer to watch the trailer they had shown us before the show starts. It was another new malaysian ghost story called "congkak".. a bit freaky...I think I like that better though I still think "Jangan pandang belakang" had made a big impact to the audience so far these 2 years.

Okay, I feel tired now. Had a lot of things to do at the office this morning and had worn me out a lot.
Bon Nuit!!

Madamoiselle: Food for "Asyura"


Yesterday, was one of the important days of the Islamic Calendar which we known it as the "Hari Asyura" (10 Muharam).


(please click for a larger view)

Quoted from Ummah.net

Some celebrate this day by fasting, a sunnah to do. Others, like us at the office, celebrates Hari Asyura with "sedekah". Each of us contributes some food and had a small feast. On this day too, we celebrated the birthday celebrants of January.

I know its not a normal custom to bring this food to celebrate an islamic day but I made these coz I know my friends wanted to have 'em especially the pizza. So I made it specially for them. Hope they had enjoyed it.

Madamoiselle: Moi 100th post




Hoorey! It's my 100th post for Madamoiselle ver 2. and ironically, I have nothing much to blog about. Waaa!!! I think it's because my mind is still on the 'Coffee Prince' drama series that I haven't finished watching yet. I'm still on the 2nd DVD. Really, if I did not control myself, I would probably finished watching it in one day but that would be sickening... I need my life too..hehe.

Anyway, as it's my 100th post today, I'd like to congratulate myself *pity* :p for being able to keep my blog alive and kicking since July 2007. And that's about 6 months ago.


I'm still a learning blogger, an amatuer, who simply writes about my daily life, what I feel, eat, do and nothing special. My first blog was
"Madamoiselle" and as you might know, I had forgotten my password and had locked myself out of blogging in that blog *pathetic*.

Well, my first intention to write a blog was to have my own personal sort of diary that I wanted to remember in my later years and also to improve or at least maintain my usage of proper English which I find the lack of it in the past decade. Eversince I started working, my environment did not approve to speak or write good english. I spoke malay 98% of the time and my first job was me, mingled closely with my chinese colleagues who spoke more to Singlish style speaking rather than a normal english. I was very close with my chinese boss and I got influenced with their english for almost 3 years. You know, like "Don't play-play mah!" and "Why you blur like sotong eh?" hahaha... it sounded funny now that I remember it but it sure was fun to speak english like that.
Ok Wat?

Then, I moved to working in another new environment which is my present work and this time it's purely more to a Malay speaking environment. English was hardly used except for some circumstances and I feel like my power on the use of english has gone down to the drain. And I'm not liking it and so the need to blog. Blogging, does not let you practice, just good writing but also keeps you exploring more of English terms that you sometimes hardly used. When I 'blog-hop', I learned more from reading the blogs and it really do helps.
Last year, I took an international English test to see how my English was and for some other reason. I took their classes and learned that although I'm fine with my vocabulary but my tenses were so careless. {You may just see it from my writings in my blog}.I got throuhg with good grades though *grin*.

Okay, I've babbled too much for someone who thought had nothing much to say on her 100th post. Have a wonderful week ahead everyone! Buhbai!

Madamoiselle: One Fine Friday A.M & the Coffee Prince


One fine friday morning, my parents and I decided to have breakfast in Kiulap. It was around eight and saw an accident had occurred at the Kiulap traffic light junction which caused a long queue of cars from the roundabout towards Bandar. I'm not sure how it happened but it had knocked down one of the traffic lights and was partly burnt...which I assumed from seeing the dark burned marks on the front side of the car. We're lucky we came from the other side of the road so it was less jammed than the otherside. After breakfast, more than half an hour later, the car was still there on the same spot untouchable. I managed to get a picture of it while passing out of the area. I'm not sure how long they are going to clear the road but it does looked like it took forever.



Anyway, I just came back from the workshop. My car has finally finished its five days repair. Phew! I missed my baby. It's not fun being a "Daddy's Girl" every morning to work..hehehe. Tomorow, will be another hectic day for me at work. Lots of things to do and I'm taking lots of rest these two days as much as possible. And what have I been doing then? hahaha.. I've bought a Korean drama series DVD last few weeks back and haven't got the time to watch them yet. So these two days, I'm taking my ample time watching it. I have always been a Korean drama series fan but not as fanatic as I used to be. It's really exhausting watching these addicted long drama series when you know you have not much time to watch them.



At the moment, I'm watching the "Coffee Prince". So far, it's very interesting coz I hardly sees the main actress being confused as a male. She's a tomboy and that hardly happens in korean dramas...or maybe i haven't seen much of their dramas lately.
And I just found out that they are going or already..i'm confused..making the Coffee Prince Season 2. See how good this one is?



Here's the synopsis:

With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, “pretty boy” Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs. Because of her previous experience with Tae Kwon Do, Eun Chan has quite the bold and opinionated personality. Choi Han Kyul seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.

After accidentally being mistaken for a man by Han Kyul’s older brother, Choi Han Seong, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. Han Kyul hires Eun Chan to avoid an arranged marrage by pretending to be romantically linked to a “gay” Eun Chan. But Choi Han Kyul slowly starts to develop feelings for her, but still doesn’t believe in love. Eun Chan also starts to have feelings for Han Kyul but can’t confess that she’s a woman, Han Kyul, continues thinking that the agonized Go Eun Chan is a man. Choi Han Kyul thinks he’s experiencing feelings of homosexuality towards her, and gets heartsick. This side of him was drawn in a risky but fun way.

The part when he discovers that Go Eun Chan is a woman is shown in an undemanding way, and the story doesn’t concentrate on just these two people, but also on the other people who frequent Coffee Prince. These people are shown one by one in a natural way, and since the story isn’t just about romance but about the natural conflicts of all the characters.




For more details go to --> Coffee Prince

Have a nice Weekend!
I'm off ...to continue watching the DVD, Arriasso?!! hehehe... Bieanna...

Madamoiselle: My Midnite Cuppy Experience






A friend wanted me to make some cuppies for a small Hijrah celebration last night. I couldn't resist eventhough it was last minute. So the night before I made her the cuppies and I was done by midnite as I started baking it late. Imagine decorating it by midnite and I was making them at our almost outdoor kitchen and it was indeed a very quite night.

It was a funny shivery experience though. I was never scared being alone at home even at night but that night, while decorating the cuppies, when the clock strikes 12, I suddenly had goosebumps at the back of my neck and I don't know why. It freaked me a little but I had to finish all the cuppies so I hurried up with the decors. I was in a not-so-comfortable situation with the sudden goosebumps. Half an hour later, there were no more goosebump feelings and I had finish my cuppies. Unfortunately, after all the fuss I'm experiencing, I was a bit disappointed with the outcome of my decor as it was not as pretty as it was supposed to be. I can't blame it though, how could I decor when my mind was a bit crazy with the sudden shiver I got.

I hope my friend and her family likes it. I'd make it up to you the next time I make it, insyallah. :)

Madamoiselle: The Resolutions that Burns.


It's the 9th day of 2008. To be frank, the 9 days of new year didn't give me a good impression to start a new life ahead. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, my resolution itself is to be more optimistic about anything.

Remember my resolutions? I don't normally make any resolutions. This year, however, I made it optional, mostly for work. I wanted to change to a new leaf. Procrastinating was not me. But I became one few months back. Was it because of demotivation of work or lost in my own world? Both actually. That's why I took a long holiday and wanted a good start ahead in 2008. My first day of work were surprised with a huge change and hectic work schedule coming ahead. Dealing with changes with work was ok for me, I can still bear it and are willing to see the good side of it. But dealing with people that you know you can't get along was definitely a big challenge. They are back! And I have to face them.

I am not mean. I don't hate people easily. I don't shut people from my life for no reason and block anyone who made mistakes without giving any 2nd chances. I am a happy person, the one who always laughs, the one who jokes with her friends and makes silly remarks and teases to pass the time. But I normally do those things when I'm with someone I'm comfortable with, the ones I do get along well. Most, thought I could never be an angry person. They say, I was hardly serious.

Honestly, a friend had quoted this "Harmless unless Provoked!" and for sure, I am as he quoted! I will not hate you if you don't make me. I usually like to distant myself from people who tried to ruin my life. I just don't like being angry or pissed all the time so my solution was to avoid. The problem is, sometimes I had no choice. They come and provoke. They liked being hated. They just are too thick skinned to even cared that they are not wanted. A pain I have to deal with. And it ruined part of my resolutions.

Speaking of which, let me rephrase again my resolutions:

1) Always be optimistic
They ruined it. I'm still trying though.
2) Ignore bad vibes @ people who tends to ruin ur lifes and those who underestimates you.
The devils are back, killing my ignorance.
3) Clearing my Debts--> a never ending story..esp. my cards..waaa!!!
Still in progress
4) Self control --> in spending especially..hehehe
So far, 2% success hahaha...
5) Needs more determination and stop procrastinating :p
I am chanting I can do this..i can do this...
6) Anger management, out of stress... 2007 had been a good one...need more in 2008 :)
2008 became my biggest challenge for this. The devils provoked too much.
7) Loose weight--> I really need to make it work someday hahaha...
No comment in this yet ..teehee!

Today, is the New Year for Islam. Selamat Tahun Baru Hijriah 1429 Everyone. I hope this New Year starts the marking of a better days ahead and these whole 9 days that passed was just a nightmare. I pray for those who hurts the people around, intentionally or not, will change and opened their hearts to be more sincere with everything they do, talk and hear. I pray for myself to be more patient with the challenges given ahead and faced my inner cries calmly.

"Taqabbala Allahu minna wa minkum."
"May Allah accept from us, and from you."

Madamoiselle: Cuppy Blues & Sikui



I'm having a cuppy-blues since saturday. Haven't been ordering from the Cupcake Queen yet so I decided to make it myself instead. I've made a blue buttercream frosting over my choco spread on the vanilla cupcakes. I just love a blue cupppy. I don't know why. My first batch of cuppies were the ones with the lovey dovey decors. I really like that cute red lil love. Since my lovey-dovey sugar decor has run out, I've replaced my next batch of cuppies with all different kinds of mixture. These was what I've made last night for my colleagues today.













Anyway, the other day, a friend told me his silly watermelon story. He was quite new with the internet , I can say a bit naive about it. He does chats and a few surfings but not that much of an explorer of the internet. So one day, he wanted to surf the 'Apple' website but was not sure with the address. Yeah, i know, he should just 'google' it or logically, just try apple.com. Instead, he asked his brother and gave him this..in which he did try to surf it...and of course it does not work. Guess what's the Apple url is? WWW.SIKUI.COM -->> 'sikui' means Watermelon. wahahahaha.... and he didn't even realised that his been fooled until he tried surfing his melons ..hahaha. Apple = Sikui..Get it? hahhaaha.. No? okay this is lame.

Anyhow, I tried a few of these qiuzzes thingy and got the results...That's a step ahead to know me better *wink*.



Which College Major Should You Be?

Your major should be Art. You are sensitive, creative, and you don't follow established rules. Unfortunately, you'll have to follow some rules if you ever want that promotion at Starbucks.

Madamoiselle: The Zen Garden


My parents love to decor especially in the garden. We have a small pretty garden by the side of the house, decorated from the ideas of my parents with the help of our previous gardener. Our maid also has a husband who does wood work so it was easy for us to hire him to make the wood decors for the garden. The garden which also consist of a homemade fish pond, was a big hit from our visitors during Hari Raya last year. A friend's hubby call it 'The Zen Garden' as we had it dimly lit at night and the sound of the small water feature was absolutely calming.

This morning, while I did my laundry, I took a few snapshots of the garden. Well, just to enjoy the beauty of nature and for memoir..hahaha... All the pics here are fully taken from my handphone only and without being edited..except of course, just added the frames. Kesian ah..everyone else were into big cameras and i had my snapshots just from my hp. Still, got good pics from it so oklaaahhh...hahhaha nyaman kan hati :)
