The Social Network

Recently I’ve watched The Social Network. Well I’m not sure how should I put it. Is it good enough for me to rate the movie 9/10 or is it just another typical biography movie that showed us how bad is Mark Zuckerberg. Hmm I think neither one of those. It’s like in the middle of those two. The cinematography is good, the acting and script are good too. But I can’t say that it’s so good that I'd rate it 9/10. I really like biography movies like ‘Into the Wild’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, ‘Schindler’s List’ and etc because you get to know about their life. And usually after I’ve watched the movie, I went googling to see how far the truth about the movie is. And I did it for The Social Network. As I expected, the movie was not entirely true. But yeah it’s their movie so they can change whatever they want or add something to spice up the story a little bit. This movie is based on a biographic novel ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ by Ben Mezrich.

According to this movie, Mark Zuckerberg wants to go the Final Clubs but in real life, he said he has no intention of getting himself into the Final Clubs. In this movie, Mark is so into Erica Albright, his college girlfriend until the last whereas in real life, in sophomore year, Mark is dating Priscilla Chan up until now. There is also something at the end in the part where Mark is seen trying to add Erica Albright and he hits the refresh button like every 5 seconds. In real life, Mark has unlimited access to anyone’s account on Facebook and he can’t be ‘unfriended’. But maybe he’s being polite so he sent a request to befriend with Erica. There’s also mentioned that Mark is gaining popularity alongside a movie star who attended Harvard at that time too. The movie star’s name is never mentioned but it is said to be Natalie Portman. She enrolled in Harvard and graduated in 2003.

I don’t like the ending as well. It was like you have this story and all of a sudden, there is an ending. I mean like the ending came out of nowhere. Maybe it’s just me. Haha.

By the way, I don’t have a facebook account and even after watching the movie, I still don’t have a facebook account. It didn’t strike me yet to have one. I know it is a great social connector but still I’m not gonna make one yet. Maybe I will soon after I finish my studies. I have my own reason why I don’t wanna make one yet. Maybe I’ll blog about it or maybe not.

A piece of serenity

Saturday, November 27, 2010

I'm feeling a bit off lately so I've decided to follow my dad. He has some works, meeting out of town. So I'm now on my holiday. So I'm just here trying to calm myself. Go to the coffee house, swimming and such. Nothing much. But yeah, I guess I kinda need this one.=)

Hey I'm Good..

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Well I'm feeling much better. Trust me, I was only mad and sad yesterday. Towards the end of the day, I'm feeling slightly better and now I'm way much better than yesterday. Thanks for those who texted me, I really appreciate your concern. =)

Come on, it's natural for you to be sad and mad once in a while right? Tell me you haven't felt that way before? I guess your hometown is Mars perhaps..Or maybe your sibling's name is Alien. HAHA..no I'm kidding..xD

So here's something funny I've got from my tumblr:

I Can't Win

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Just as something that would reflect me these days..The Strokes is still really the best. =)



That was you up on the mountain
All alone and all surrounded
Walking on the ground you're breaking
Laughing at the life you're wasting
1 - 2 tries won't do it
You do it all your life and you never get through it
Everything they had to say
Had been erased in just one day

"Good try
We don't like it"
"Good try
We won't take that shit."

I can't win.

Things in bars that people do
When no one wants to talk to you
Failing can be quite a breeze, he
Told me that these girls were easy
Happy that you said you'd mount me
Felt unlucky when you found me
Some nights come up empty handed

Yes, I'll take it

Wait now
By the sidewalk
Hold on
Yes, I'll be right back.

I can't win.

Yeah, I
Wait for something
"Cool it
We won't take that shit"
"Good try
We don't like it"
Hold on,
Yes, I'll be right back.

Another Side Of Me

My day today is totally ruined by my sadness and madness.

I’m mad at someone, like really mad.

When something involves with your dignity, pride and such, I have my solid reason to be mad. I’m mad at him and I’m mad at myself as well for not being able to curb my anger.

It’s like there’s an angry demon took over me and I didn’t fight with him and let him took over me easily. I’m sad seeing how badly things went. I’m sad for letting the demon won over me. There’s always a choice for you; to be mad or not to be mad.

They say that ‘Patience is half of faith’ and it’s true. Not everyone can hold the patience enough. If you let the angry demon won over you, the consequences are really bad, at least bad enough for me.

I mean I’m 22 but I acted like I’m a spoiled child who didn’t get her candies and started to throw tantrum at everyone. That’s me today! I went furious and started to throw tantrum at him first and everyone else then.

It’s been ages since I’m mad like this. I thought growing up has made me become much of a calmer person or even a matured person but seeing myself today, I was totally wrong. But then again, I have my solid reason to be mad.

And I really hate when people start to play the ‘I know you’ card. You may have known me a little but that little doesn’t equal to a whole. You’ll never know me as a whole. So please stop playing the card. Everyone has their own secret and secret is always meant to be a secret.

No one knows it other than yourself. So if you play the card and started to judge me, well you’re wrong my dear. You don’t know a thing. My life is full of secrets that I’ll never let anyone knows, not even you. And I really love to say that some things just touch you so deep.

After I was mad like hell, I did cry a wee bit for no matter how strong I am, I still have a fragile heart. And I did start the car, went to nowhere. Yes, my destination is nowhere. I just drove to nowhere to calm myself and it always work. I tend to drive very slowly when I’m sad and keep on driving until I feel calm and I came back.

I came back and I knew I had to write it somewhere and here it is, I feel okay for now. I hope I’m strong enough to just smile and pretend nothing happened.




"Better"

You live inside a dream
Everything tastes so sweet
As long as it agrees with how you feel
You're dancing in your sleep
'Til all the eyes that look at me
awaken your anxieties

You're so afraid, so you try to break me, yeah

I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out and blame
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me

But in the end, what leaves you broken
In the end, makes you better, yeah

Your face looks so green
When the sun is shining differently
And you're standing in the shade
'Cause face to face you're sweet
Like candy sticking to my teeth
But underneath so damaging

There is no strength in trying to break me, no

I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out and blame
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me

But in the end, what leaves you broken
in the end, makes you better

Yeah, I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you
I don't want to hate
I don't want to be broken
I don't want to hate you

I don't want to care
and I don't want to hate
and I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
you lash out and blame
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
and try to break me

But in the end, what leaves you broken
In the end, makes you better, Yeah

Till Kingdom Come

Sunday, November 21, 2010



This is one of my fav song from Coldplay which is a perfect fit for my previous post. Enjoy.

"Till Kingdom Come"

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

Engagement and Love.

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Today one of my good friends is getting engaged. I'm so happy for her since you know she had long distance relationship with her then boyfriend and managed to survive it and now they're engaged and soon to be married. Of course! =) I think they're one hell of a sweet couple. I'm happy for her.

I went to her engagement ceremony and it got me thinking that I have a very long way to go before I can think about all these stuffs. Since you know, I've been single for quite a long time. I've had few boyfriends before but I've never really fell in love with them. No offense to my exes, I did like them before but not fell in love. So I guess I'm still waiting for the right one to come. Ugh, it sounds so cheesy and lame. But can't deny it, it's the truth. But I don't think about it that hard, finishing my studies is still my top priority.

I've known some people who like me and even some of my friends tried to hook me up with their friends but it didn't work that way. I don't know. I don't really like that kind of idea. I believe that everyone has their partner, and it's just a matter of time till you found the right one. I want someone who came by accident and not planned and he'll stay true to everything till the last. Ugh, again. It sounds reallllyyyy cheesy and lame. Whatever. That's what my heart says. Haha.

But you know like everyone, I still have my own set of criteria of my so-called Mr. Right guy. Haha. xD

Here are some of them:

-Someone who can guide me: well this is important since you know, I'm not a good person myself so I need someone who can guide me to the right way whatever that means.

-Someone who is smart and independent: Smart is the new hot. Being hot alone is not enough. Neither that being hot is necessary. I just want someone who's smart to handle himself, to handle me, family and independent enough to handle everything. And he needs to be able to make choices, decision since I don't want someone who will rely 90% on his wife's decision. I mean you are a guy so you should be able to make wise decision and etc but you would still hear your wife's opinion. That's enough.

-Someone who has passion for sports: Hurmm this is not necessary but come on, I am a huge supporter of football so if he doesn't like football, he should at least like something else like Tennis, Basketball or anything. I once dated a guy who doesn't like sports at all. It was boring. Trust me. But then, my uncle who is a programmer is still super cool even though he's not into sports. Well in that case, it is acceptable. Haha.

Well these are the major things I guess. Other thing is not that important or maybe is left only for me to know. =)

But I know, we can only have these criteria only in our minds since love knows no boundaries. When it happens, you no longer care if he is the perfect fit or not. Besides, I've been taught in one of my ethics class or something, that we can't really be choosy when it comes to the matter of choosing our partners since everyone is not perfect. We can't choose someone who's like our alter ego to be our partner. We just have to accept everything; be it bad or good thing that he/she has and try to be better together. Just like this one quote "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best"

As long as he's someone reliable to you, someone you can trust, the rest is no longer important.

Trust is not a super hat that you can put to just anyone. This special hat has its special aura that only you know the owner. =)

Rambling..

Friday, November 19, 2010

I'm on my holiday right now. But I don't do anything much. It's the same thing every single day; being lazy, sleeping, watching movies, watching football matches, eating, hanging out with my family + cousins + friends, checking my emails, helping my mom, worrying and thinking before I fall asleep, and yada yada yada.. It's boring. Haha. But I don't hate it, not even for a single day. =)

I wanted to go have fun at any Island but no ones seems eager to go with me. I wish my parents would let me go travel alone. That would be perfect.

But nah, the idea of letting their only daughter to travel alone is scary enough for them. I really wanna go travel alone, not just in Malaysia, but any other countries. But they won't let me go travel alone, not even in any Island in here or nearest country like Indonesia, Australia, Japan etc.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna go travel alone, at least once in my life. I think if I'm working, my parents would let me do so. Hopefully. ;)

This holiday I have this urge to go swimming but nah, I don't like a swimming pool that's way too open or maybe having too many crowd. I love going to a rooftop swimming pool but it's hard to find one. I found it once and trust me it's so lovely. How I wish I have a swimming pool in my house so that whenever I'm in trouble, I could jump in the pool and try to clear my mind.

Besides, I've been thinking about everything lately. I don't know. My result, my internship, my future, my life and just everything. I'm gonna do my internship next year and yet to have any offer. We were allowed to apply for 5 companies first and out of 5, I only applied to 3. Since 2 of the companies I've applied already moved, my documents were sent back to me. I'm not eager to find their new address. Whatever. I think I have to apply to another 2 companies later. Later..

Then I've been thinking about my result as well since you know 2 of my exams were not that good. One of them is my killer subject. That's what I think. Blergh..

How I wish I have genius mind that I will always have the good results without doing anything much. You know, there are those people who are gifted. They don't even have to study hard but they will always get a good result no matter what. That's their gift. They're so lucky. But I do believe everyone has their own gift. Some people excel in maths, some in science, some in music, cooking and the list goes on and on. ;) and for one to be able to succeed in their life, one still have to go through a mountain of hardship.

Simple IQ test

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one’s teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Well you have to think about it..then if you have the answer, check the comment section and compare it to the real answer..

Did you get it right?? hehe

Tastekid

Here's a cool site where you can actually find the similar music, movies or even books.

I don't know about you guys, but I always have this urge to find something new. I mean like new movies, new music, new bands so Google has always been my best friend. But recently, I've found this Tastekid, so it's kinda awesome to find something similar with what you like right?

This site might be old enough but you've gotta excuse me for being excited since I just found out this one. Haha xD

here's the snapshot:



I wrote The Notebook and there are few lists of the similar movies: A Walk To Remember, P.S. I Love You, 50 First Dates and etc.

But hey this is just for fun, don't rely much on it since I know sometimes she'll give you different result that's not even similar to what you've been trying to find. =)
