CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS & "9" THE MOVIE

These two animations are a must see movies to watch...... I watched Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs in 3 D last Thursday at Berjaya Times Square and "9" DVD at home last night.
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.

One of goofiest animated movie I have ever seen. Small to humongous meatballs, burgers, macaroni and cheese falling from the skies....spiral spaghetti storm....this is the most cartoonish animated movie for me but this is one show that I have never seen and can imagine before. Very effective yet creative with a straightforward story. Inspired by Judi Barrett's children's book, it is about an inventor, Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) who builds a machine that converts water into food and becomes local hero when tasty treats fall from the sky like rain. Things went well but goes haywire when the machine spins out of control and threatens to bury the whole world with giants foods and Flint must find a way to stop it. The characters in the movie are quirky as well such as Sam Sparks (Anna Faris), a weather girl with the heart of a nerdy-girl-next-door, Tim (James Caan), the father, the scene where he tries to help his son by sending an email was hilarious and the others memorable characters as well.

The best part after watching this movie, believe me, is that you will suddenly feel hungry for food except chicken...why? you will know the answer after watching it..hehehe



"9"

This is a different ball game altogether. First and foremost, this animated movie is visually stunning. The overall storyline might not be so clearly defined and it is too scary for younger kids for it actions scenes but I truly truly love this movie...awesome...The renowned filmmaker, Tim Burton produced such a distinctively and thrilling tale. "9" stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer.

"9" is basically the story of 9 intricate, beautiful shaped and curious creatures who must dodge metal dogs, fight off a mechanized giant octopus like creatures and unlock a secret in a world where all humans are gone and the machines that roam the earth want to destroy them in the first place. Ermm...sound like the story you are familiar with? (Matrix and Wall-E combined). Each one of the nine creations has a distinct personality. "1" is bossy, opinionated and protective, "2" is a thinker and healer. "3" and "4" are twins who thrive on knowledge and study. "5" represents friendship and family. "6" is madness and secrets. "7" is agility and a warrior, "8" is strength and "1"'s bodyguard. "9".... ermm you have to figure out yourself...I would not be a spoiler for a good movie like this...


Amazing visual effect

Burlap heroes


Why were they created? Who was the inventor??

Fighting the machines..

Calling all hard-core sci fi geek, comic book lover or aspiring animators, go watch these movies ... I am none of those yet I really enjoyed it immensely...what will they think out next???

OPEN HOUSE - MINE AND OTHERS

There were so many raya open house invitations for me this year. Some I did attend, others I can't for some reasons but I made sure that I informed them beforehand as a sign of respect for the invitee... something I learn about simple invitation etiquette from my late father since I was a child....Enough about that....

I would like to thank among others Amri & Leo (Bukit Antarabangsa), Yus & Amir (Bandar Tasik Permaisuri), my relatives and my neighbour, the infamous Berita Harian's reporter, Farihad and his housemate for inviting me. Off course, the sweet surprise came when my friends and I were busy eating the yummy foods in Farihad's house, then came the most sensational couple in Malaysia and my idol no doubt, the two Datoks Siti and her husband...Datok K. Both of them looked dashing and sweet and at ease with all the people around them albeit the gaping mouth of one of my friends...And she did eat a lot...honest....I can't blame her, the mee udang and nasi ayam were mouth watering...plus the delicious homemade karipap made by A's were snapped clean once it were put on the table...

As for my own open house, it was held on Saturday nite, 10 Oct, 2009 at my house. I would like to thanks those who came especially BB group (thx for the fruits pickles), my close friends, Panzer, Is and Shah (thanks for coming late after giving promise to help., babab nanti..hehehe), Safuan...my relatives, Azman and Eddie, Nasrol & Sid, my neighbour, Farihad, Wan & Sharil. Rostam, Yus and the gangs, Epul and friends, Najib on behalf of Penang's friends, Ajib, Kzul, Heri, Imran from Melaka, Hadie from Jakarta, Amri & Leo and many others I am unable to mention here... A special thanks to Epul who without his help, I could not made it ready on time.....We all had a good time, despite a few hidden drama behind it, jeng jeng jeng hehehe... The last group to leave was at 3.00am after watching, Wanita Berkalong Sorban, a VCD I bought in Jakarta earlier this year.

Here in the pictures from my raya open house...

OFFICE RAYA CELEBRATION - 2009

On my last post, I did mention that I will talk about my Raya Open House but I decided to post it later and post this instead. Like any other companies be it in the private or public sector, office raya celebration is a compulsory event. This year, because of the H1N1, the management had decided to cancel the annually major raya celebration for the whole staff i.e in the same building but gave permission to any department to hold its departmental raya celebration instead.

Below are pictures of my departmental Raya Celebration which was held on Thursday 8, October 2009.

Waiting for guest arrival

Guests and staffs taking their seats

Doa before eating

Ah..I win yet another small plastic bin for lucky draw.. Lucky me

What is Raya Celebration without the foods?....yummy..

Kenyang perut, suka hati....

Kelas Tadika 2009 huhu...

touch me hold me...my stomach again?? ermmm curious...

KRYPTONITE - PART 2

One wise man did give his view on my post regarding kryptonite and I quot here verbatim,
What makes superman, superman is becoz of kryptonite, not Lois Lane, not anything else. Without kryptonite, he is just another average joe, like any other human being walking the planet earth. Kryptonite is what differentiates superman and everyone else. It's the only thing that defines him as who he is...His weakness. Even if it kills him, the truth about the subject is, that superman is nothing without kryptonite. It is what completes him.
Well, a good viewpoint, I guess....
My next post will be the my Raya Open House which was held last Saturday nite.... till then, have a nice and productive day...hugs
