Netflix, yes, I subscribed.

Netflix, yes, I subscribed.

Umm..I don't know. So far, I've only been watching Studio Ghibli and Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures. LOL

masa awal2 I was like, "yassss I can watch The Last Tsar" but 2 episodes in and I found out they ate almost 20gb of 80gb of my monthly phone data. Like, FUCCCCKKKKKKK. no, I don't have home wifi. it was only 10 days after my monthly data reset date. So, from then on, I learned to download what I want to watch first instead of streaming. 

So far:

I have finished Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures season 1 & 2. I haven't started on Season 3. coz I'm giving it a break. It was a good show. reminds me of Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. except, Barbie is a teenager now. but the sisters have not age a day. 🤔

I watched Korean Historical Drama (a genre that is somewhat the rage on Netflix btw. Like, tau ya ramai peminat korean drama di dunia ani LOL) The Emperor Owner of the Mask. 20 episodes. Good but the Crowned Clown is better. 

the anime movies I have watched, as mentioned in my previous post, were all watched via Netflix too. Currently, I have downloaded four more titles: Tales from Earthsea, Princess Mononoke, Whisper of the Heart, and The tale of the Princess Kaguya. but balum ada hati kan sit down and watch. Yes, kalau kan liat any movie / TV show, mesti ikut hati dan perasaan.

I tried to watch The Royal Gambler, pasal ada c Yeo Jin-goo AND actually already downloaded sampai episode 12 out of 24 BUT by episode 5, I wasn't feeling it. Like, nyeh. So, I discarded them allllllll.

Now, I've been downloading A Series of unfortunate Events. it has 3 seasons. I have downloaded season 1 and 4 episodes from season 2. I will try and watch them tomorrow. internet super awesome at the moment. thus, the slowness in downloading is inenvitable.

I'm sure there are a lot more things to watch on Netflix but once you select your preferences, that was all the genre Netflix will promote to you. 

This month would be my second month subscribed to Netflix. but at the rate I'm going, I don't think it'd be worth it for me to continue to be subscribed. I don't know. we'll see. 

Aku kan subscribed to DisneyPlus plang ni next. hahaha just so I can watch old shows. BUTT kan, for example, Hannah Montana, you can actually watch this on youtube for free. maybe not the entire series but you'd still be satisfied with the amount of videos you'd be able to watch.
Currently, I am watching Totally Spies on youtube. yeah there are missing episodes but I'm happy with the ones they decided to share on that free platform.


What about you? is it worth it to subscribed to this 'online' cable? Discuss.

Final Top 25 Songs of 2019

hi guys!!

Yes, December! the end of an era! the start of a new day! I mean, not yet but soon. 
Since it's end of era, I thought, I need to make some posts before the year end. 🙊

So, for a start, I'm just gonna share my top 25 listened to songs as of 21st Dec 2019.

Don't be too shock with the number of NCT songs on this list LOL.

Hmm... I guess good songs truly never expires. as you can see, I still listens to old songs a.k.a Celine Dion's Faith (2003) and Charice's One Day (2011).

Best album download this year?

I'll share a few 😎

this one is maybe a little bit bias;

1. I love Princess Jasmine

2. this live action has Will Smith

3. SPEECHLESS IS POWER!!

this is the most unexpected one. I fell in love with the entire album (pretty rare occasion for me).

her previous album that I downloaded, Brave Enough, I only listen to 4 songs out of 18.

you know i have to include this one 😁

the faded ones are the one i untick coz i usually untick songs that I often skipped when they come in the shuffle.

WESTLIFE IS BACK!!!! 

I love this album 

💟💟💟

this is a rare one. I saw her posting a clip from her Blueming MV and I thought the music sounded good. So, I downloaded the album and I am not mad.

it's a good album.

I only ever download one song of hers; Gloomy Clock (feat SHINee Jonghyun) and you know why I downloaded that song. LOL

There you go. Glad to realize that listening to music is still a very big part of me. I'm happy that this still remains. 💖💖

what about you? 

What's your favorite for this year?

Share them in the comment box down below. maybe I'll find my next songs or album to download. 🧐

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 ;)

My Spanish Guitar

I've been wanting to post this for so long.
Ever since that Despacito craze broke out.

before Despacito,

there were lots of Spanish songs coming into our local airwaves back in the early 2000s.
I think it all thanks to the many famous Spanish drama airing that time. None of which I ever watch.
Anyway,
I'll be sharing with you 3 of my favorite Spanish songs.

I duno when I first downloaded these songs but these are my favorite. even now,

Jyve V - Solo A Tu Lado Quiero Vivir.
Releases 2003
it was a theme song for Venezuelan telenovela Juana The Virgin




Westlife - En Ti Deje Mi Amor
Released 2001 in Asian-only release version of Coast to Coast album. (but I'm asian, living in asian country. but why the album I bought, a cassette, didn't have that song?!)
back story: by 2001, I was a huge fan (to the point of fanatic) of Westlife. I did research on Westlife on a daily basis like its my job (LOL!) so when I found on the Lyrics website that Westlife has two Spanish songs, I had to have them. but I only ever downloaded En Ti Deje Mi Amor.
the other song is World of Our Own. i think.




N'Sync - Yo Te Voy A Amar
Released 2000
I just love this gaddam song, man. I love the English version, This I Promise You, and this Spanish version is the same shizz.




There ya go.

the 3 early 2000s Spanish songs that people missed.

Point of this post?

Despacito isn't the first Spanish songs to hit the air wave.

8th of Aug (the throwbacks)

started this post at 11:57pm

LOL

if that's not procrastination at its best, I duno what is

Let's get right into it

1. in 2009
I titled a blog 'Aku Masih Torn'
and damn was i vague?!
I read the entire post and all I see was me talking non-sense about SuJu and ended the post with something along the line "I'm sooooo torn"
Like, what are you so torn about, woman?!
I might have to open my diary to know what exactly was I was so torn about

2. in 2010
I watched the real-life movie of Avatar: The Last Airbender
boy, was I disappointed. LOL
I guess that's what happened when you love the cartoon/anime so much and had too much expectation on the movie.

I didn't post anything on 8th Aug of 2011 till 2014

3. in 2015
I was ( or did I finished) watching the historical theme korean drama, Maid.
starring Jung YuMi

jjang!

I noticed in some years, I posted a lot in August. 
Like, it was a special month of something.
Special month meaning me being so motivated to post something hahaha

I should be more excited in September! coz you know, my getting old day.

anyway,

here's a song for you to enjoy coz I was listening to it while I was making this



Girls' Generation - Sailing or  그 여름 (0805)

the mv was so nostalgic and I learned that the lyric was written by Sooyoung. *applause*

So that is all for tonight.
I should be in bed like, tadi *ketawa* but yeah..

I see you in my next post

. . .

Remember this?

Remember this camera?

Remember when it was all the rage?
I never owned such device. I own the cheaper version of this.

LOL!

soon after this awesome release, people finally realized that what they need isn't a digicam. 

all people need to have is a handphone with a camera features.

#feeloldyet

#LOL

. . .

Do you remember the time ...

remember that time

when all I ever talked about was Westlife?

yeah, that was the good time.

or the worst for you guys?

I'm sure I've mentioned it at a hundred times before that I write fictions, right?
there was one time when a friend complaint to me and she said, "cBryan saja jua eh! nada lelaki lain kh?".
I was gobsmacked and ashamed
but it didn't stop me from continuing to use 'Brian' as the main male lead in my story. ┏(＾0＾)┛┗(＾0＾) ┓

Moving on~

Yesterday, when I was on my way home, as I changed the radio channel,
I heard Uptown Girl was playing.
but it was almost finished and I whined for changing the channel a little too late.

but another Westlife song was playing after that and from just the intro, I started fangirling; squealing like I have never heard the song playing on my iphone/laptop before.
the song was Something Right. the radio station was having some double request segment of some kind.

It maybe a 'sekadar' moment for you
but listening to ANY Westlife song kena play on air is such a nostalgic moment for me.
to cut things short; Westlife is such a big part of me growing up, its bittersweet listening to someone playing/listening to their song without me asking them to. T.T

Anyhoo
how about I share with you guys the awesome-est live video concert for Uptown Girl
the best live performance for this song, in my opinion.

lets clap and sing-a-long !!



I'm not Swedish but I wish I was everytime I see this. ＼（＾○＾）人（＾○＾）／

I wanted to apologize to people that I annoyed during my Westlife phase
but you should know: I was happy with my obsession (yes, I use the word obsess coz thats what I was back then)
and every time rakan2 sebaya point out my obsession to me during a meet up or a gathering, I felt such pride in that. I don't know how else to explain my feelings but I was proud of who I was back then (with my obsession towards Westlife sahaja. not the other things)

at least when people hear Westlife, they thought of their 'crazy obsess' friend, Az Nuur. (¬‿¬)

. . .

Throw Back Saturday?

brief: I was cleaning my room (used to be my sister's too) two weeks ago and we found a lot of things. hahaha most are already crashed and burnt by now. (this should also explain my 'findings' on last Thursday punya post)

My love for colors began early.

and it was shown thru my school books cover all thru high school.

 form 1. this was not my choice. LOL

 form 2 version A

 form 2 version B (i think I was running out of version A at that time LOL barbie lah jua)

 Form 3 (happiest of book cover of the year xD)

 Form 4. (Green was my ultimate fav color back then)

Form 5 (i think the best book cover I've ever had and on final year of high school too)

during form 6,  I had the habit of buying lots of wrapping paper but by that time I no longer have books that need covering (we mostly use full scape papers and files/folders). I used all those wrapping paper over the years to wrap presents instead. I used the last one last June. hahaha like, 7 years after I left form 6. :P

I'm glad that I did this during high school. i think masa atu the important thing was 'sapa punya lapis buku paling lawa'. hahaha 

ah well..good old times.

. . .

Throw Back Thursday

I can be pretty artistic, if I wanted to be

I made this (I think) in 2004, coz of the 4sci2. and I strongly believe it was also when ArtAttack (the original version) was pretty famous. ahh I miss that show. 

my sister said I made this for the fun of it. I guess she was right.

. . .

Nostalgic

I don't remember how it came to be but I came accross Polly Pockets mainan on ebay!

they brought back a very sad childhood memories. Sad but thankful too.

Because, I didn't have one as my own. I only got to play the one my little cousin had. You see, she was the youngest and everything she ever wanted, she got them. 
The sad part is that I had to play my cousin's. the thankful part, I still got to play them! 
ahahah Life is fair indeed. ;)
But how I envy my cousin so much at that time. my mom is not the kind yg mendulur and Polly Pocket was quite pricey too. So ..*shrugged* yeah..

these are the ones yg 'we' used to have;

ahhh... berabis nostalgiaaaa!!

this Pencil Case was my fav. I used to show it off in school (eventhough it wasn't mine to show off hahaha)

this Big Mansion was amazing! with the 'glass' patio and came with a Car.

this was the biggest price of all; a Cinderella Castle~! Came with the carriage and all!

They don't make this anymore. 

the pencil case alone cost a few hundreds euros! and it was labelled 'Boxed. Unopened. Classic collection'. mcm, tempted ku kan bali. If I was an impulsive person, I would have. :P

Mainan nowadays berjurit and not as pricey as it was because I have my own money now. :D but of course, everytime I feel like buying, I talked myself into not buying them. because, as much as I want to 'relive' my childhood memory, I am still a 26 years old and I wouldn't know what am supposed to do with it afterwards. Menyamak bilik ku saja.. ahahah

ah well... to each their own. :)

. . .

Friends

Met an old friend last week. it felt good that we could just fall back into conversation like we never parted for a very long time.

and at some point of that coversation, she admitted that she envied the circle of friends I have. and I told her, I envied her for having a new circle of friends. to which she replied, "But they never last".

I sat there, shock with realization, for a second. I totally agree with her.

Her expression was something and made me thankful of what I have. When she wishes to be a part of our circle, I wish I grew out of mine.

Mr. Fletcher was right. "You win some, You lose some". I may have lost in the number of friends I have but the ones I have means so much more than just a number.

So, what I'm trying to say, is that, I love you guys!! *emotional* Like, SERIOUSLY!

I would love to mention names but you know who you are. :)

and thank you for always being there for me.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!

. . .

Brief Update: Part 5

June 23rd

This isn't Goodbye, even as I watch you leave.
This isn't Goodbye.
I swear I won't cry, even as tears filled my eyes,
I swear I won't cry.

Westlife Farewell Tour came to an end.

*tears*

Thank You for all the years. You'll forever be in my heart; Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily.

le gra, Me.

:')

Forever be in my Life - Jojo.

Westlife Where We Are

yes. I finally managed to watch Westlife, Where We Are Tour Live in O2 Arena.



and be the fangirl I used to be. had a few tears at the beginning. it was tears of guilt, mind you.

Sigh..no use crying over the spilled milk..Nasi sudah menjadi bubur..apa lagi?

I watched it and fangirling for a couple of hours. I miss this side of me. (liat concert thru DVD and imagining myself with that audience, and clapping along, singing along, like, aku dsana...gila mode on ahaha!)

Mark's vocal was amazing. he also arranged some of the songs (acapella ones) and he was amazing at doing that. bravo Markie~ xD (this is the only picture of Markie I could fine, he's the one on the right. yg palak2 tu, cKian..lol!)

Shane was, as always, AWESOME! his live (vocally) is beyond all greatness. He outdone himself, again.

Nicky. you remember me complaining about how he sang very little? well, I should've watched this before I make that post, shouldn't I? he ACTUALLY sang lots and lots of line in here. and I am beyond proud. I was right. that 10years plus in the business with sold out tours did improved him, vocally. Nico, I'm so proud.

Kian. I love Kian. he's this tough looking guy on the outside. when in reality, he's actually mr. Softy. he sang well. his vibe was to look for, esp during medley session, and he did exceptionally well here. I'm proud of you too, Kino. ;)

I like their medley; esp the Halo/How to Break a Heart. i love that part very much. I also like the fact that they didn't do so much change on the arrangement of their old songs; Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, My Love, Flying Without Wings, What Makes a Man (to name a few)...it's nostalgic. i like that.

one thing am not liking about that concert; the background pictures, on the screens. bukn yg bapa cKian and Nicky atu. atu sweet and touchy. yg before2 that. mcm, WTH? sapa kh punya idea pki those GIFs, JPG, etc. Westlife is so much better than that. ( i hope it's not Markie's ideas. since, you know, he was the creative director of the Tour Programme book :S)

the overall performance was *applause*. I can't get over how amazing Mark's voice was. He was like, super amazing! no words can describe how am feeling right now..I just, the way he sings, it touches the strings of my heart...I don't know..just, amazing...

and I didnt know Markie has a dog. i mean as his own. I only know he has that black lab family dog back during the early days of Westlife.


p/s: I'm still trying to get used to the idea that they are really calling it off. it's so weird hearing them talk about going about this business in the next five years or so in the DVD documentary. it's like, how ironic for me to be hearing that after the break up news. it's so much harder than you think. and pictures are not mine. credit goes to the respective owners.
