Mulan

 hi gengs!

only one post in Sept so far?! I need to fix that now.

First of, Mulan, the live action remakes.

if you came across my previous post about me trying to buy Colorpop x Mulan make up, you know how oassionate I am with the 1998 version.

Mulan finally premiered in Brunei back on 3rd or 4th Sep. and I kena belanja to watch on 5th Sep. and I watched again a second time on the 6th Sep.

So, the first time I watched, I was, sooooo underwhelmed. I don't know man. I was a little heart broken? I thought it was the 'no mushu' part but the second time I watched, I was actually more 'accepting' of the no-mushu part. the part that 'ruin' the movie for me was actually the action/martial art parts. they all looked, CGI? ok, Donnie Yen was doing his IP Man martial art thing, Jet Li was magic. I don't know man. the martial art part was annoying as fuck and I am not feeling it.

In conclusion, I will stick to my 1998 version. 

oh, also, there were no musical numbers. Like, THE FCUK WITH THAT?!

SIGH. 

the new OST maybe cool but its not enough redemption.

On IG I gave this movie 8/10. but now that I am making this, I don't think its 8/10 anymore.

lemme me share you some reviews that resonates with me:

1. by Jon Solo

2. Xiran Jay Zhao

3. Accented Cinema

Have you watch the movie? what do you think about it?

Aladdin

Hi guys!

Welcome back. 

I realized, as I'm preparing for this post that it's been a long time since my last movie review post.
and what's more awesome than starting again with reviewing Aladdin, the live action version that came out 23rd May 2019.

I watched the movie the next day, 24th May, and was crazily madly in love with it!!!!!

Ok, brief background story, I'm a huge HUGE fan of the classic Aladdin. I watched it many times as a kid. Like, I claimed myself (on the internet, username etc) as Princess Jasmine from when I was 16 years old! and I remembered when I started working, old colleague even bought me a Princess Jasmine pillow! I was that obsessed! 

but of course, as I got older, I wasn't anymore.

UNTIL!

Will Smith posted the live action trailer on his IG. He played Genie and I saw that Naomi Scotts played Jasmine and I was like, "GASP! WHEN?!" coz, One, Will Smith? my fav actor of all time. Two, Pink Ranger as Jasmine? BRING. IT. ON. 
and also, I was feeling nostalgic.

So, when the movie premiered, I was like, I have to watch this. and I did.

In the cinema, as the iconic Disney's castle intro begins, I literally took a deep breath and told myself, "don't high expectation", and exhale. Best pep talk I've ever given myself! coz as the movie started, my mind was open and I allowed this movie in. Yes, there were moments where i remember thinking, "hmm..not as the cartoon but ok" but I don't hate the not-like-the-cartoon bits. In fact, I fell in love with them and for someone who was so obsessed with the cartoon, that's saying something!

and don't get me started on the songs.
Like, music to my ears! I love them! I usually don't like new version of my fav songs but these OST are amazing! love love love! 

Let's listen to one of them below:

Naomi Scotts - Speechless



I DIDN'T KNOW SHE CAN SING TOO!

also, there's a Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward version of A Whole New World, and hmm 🤔..imma stick with "I usually don't like new version of my fav songs" ◎[▪‿▪]◎ but I still like the live action movie version of A Whole New World. movie version is love.


Ok, now, I know I gave this movie 10/10 but I was curious about one thing: 
why is the guard/soldier/army of the Sultan/Agrabah dressed like the Persian army? 
(I recognized the head gear coz I've been re-watching Prince of Persia for the past couple of weeks ٩◔‿◔۶)
I had to wiki that ish, obviously.
but there was no mentioned of Agrabah being made base on Persia. the only Persian thing related to the live action was the Palace set's design. 
thus, I concluded my research with, Agrabah is a middle-east country, meaning, its military outfit can be similar to or influenced by the Persian army which are also from the middle-east.

still 10/10!

In my opinion, Will Smith made Genie his own version. well done *applause*

Side characters that I like: Dalia and Hakim. ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

I think that is all the reviews I have for this movie.

by the time this is posted, I probably watched the movie twice more. LOL

Thank you for reading this far.

You the MVP. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

Ciao~

oh! i bought the Only In Cinema cup
(sorry, couldn't be bothered to take my own picture at the moment LOL)

I'll post proper pictures some other time ;)

Hannah Montana 2.016

I thought I've watched the entire Hannah Montana series.

turns out, I only watch up until half way thru season 3 (HM has four seasons).

So, since the 2nd night of Raya until the 3rd night, I've been watching Season 4 (called Hannah Montana Forever) and I was hit with a realization that I know all the HMF songs (coz I bought the OST album) but never actually watch the episodes.

Google is such a good bestfriend at this time of need. ٩◔‿◔۶


I was almost teary for the final episode, Actually, season 4 is really very touchy from start to finish. 
Coz, it's the final season atu kali. 
plus, it's when Miley started to realize that she can't have the best of both world at the same time anymore. and everything just went from a tear falling to crying buckets moment after that (no actually tears were harm. I just have a lot of feels).


I'll Always Remember You (the most elaborate flashback/reminiscing clip in history. EVER)


Wherever I Go (awesome fanmade clips)



I shall rerun the entire series soon. 

for now, I should get some shut eyes.

it's been a looonnngggg day.

. . .

My love for

I didn't quite understand the magnitude of my (Hannah Montana) obsession

until I realize I have every Hannah Montana songs ever existed.

LOL

I saw a post quoting a Hannah Montana song and I could sang the chorus in my head. You know that feeling you have when you could sing and hear it in your head and your heart just sort of 'itchy' to listen to the song? I had that feeling at that time.

So, here I am, listening to my Hannah Montana songs collection.

I don't know how I got so hooked to that TV show. I was 18/19 years old when the show first aired in 2006 and the Hannah Montana character was like 13/14 of age? 
Maybe I just love the idea of a singer living a double life that sort of thing. hahaha as people who knew me should know that I've always wanted to be a singer. you know, making a living as a singer. (hahaha kata Hasrin, angan-angan atu free)
Besides, the songs were/are pretty catchy and, well, basically my style. xD

Anyway,
right now I am rocking to this song



Rockstar!!


a/n: Firefox Mozilla was being an ass and now I am using Google Chrome. still tyring to get use to this layout.

Finally

I finally figure out who GoGo Tomago (from Big Hero 6) 

reminded me off when she did her skate thing;
c Cappy from Robots.

Cappy did that skate move thing when they were fighting the bad guys and when I saw Tomago 'skates' in the Big Hero 6 movie, i kept thinking I've seen that move before.

and now I know it's from Cappy.

Not saying Tomago copied Cappy. I'm just saying that Tomago reminded me of another character.

. . .

Anna?

BBB Annual Dinner is coming up. Feb 8th, 2014 to be exact.

and I think I've decided on what I'm gonna wear that night.

the theme is Fairy Tale.

at first I thought, I wana be Fiona (the one, in case you don't know, in SHREK).

then, I watched Frozen. Twice.

So now, I think I wana be Anna.

the baju is simple enough to make. and design. I think.


but if that doesn't work out, I'll settle with a couple of outfits that resembles Anna.

Yup. fully decided.

BUT! if I can't make it out like the above, I just have to wing it. with Tshirts and Jeans.
