Some Firsts!

First horror-ish movie in the cinema - Evidence - courtesy of KLIPS (which I had like only 1 click and still got it meaning very little people joined! AGAIN ahahaha decided to watch cause the bro said he's interested) The movie was... slightly horror-ish.. and more towards psychopath-ish movie. Wasn't that terrible I guess.

First win (or probably only win..) from Pendulous Threads UK - Black Lace Scarab Necklace ! My heart skipped a beat when I vaguely saw my name while reading the posts from the day before, since it was announced when I was asleep. I (being an evil person) compared this post from previous weeks and noticed the amount of people who joined this week dropped drastically...... So maybe that's why I won... Oh well~ It looks lovely so I'm okay~

First CSI related win from AXN ! Internal screaming level over 9000!!! Yep I screamed when I saw the email! Consolation prize but still awesome! Thank you Ted Danson for your D.B. Russell!

Decided to watch K Missing Kings even though it's priced at RM20 per ticket! (shall call this First expensive yet non 3D movie in cinema! First RM20 movie ticket was Iron Man 3 in 3D last year.) Oh and it is also the First time I bought my movie tickets 7 days in advance! I went to Mid Valley today just to buy those tickets and came back home right after. Too bad the freebies were one set per transaction and not per ticket.. Oh well~

New Achievement!

[17/6/2014] - Tuesday

Sent the sis off to Subang Airport so she can fly to Langkawi to date her boyfie. On the way back home, as I was listening to Hitz.fm, I heard something about some Rolling Stones Tongue tee from Kitschen and to check out their Facebook page and so I did. After checking out their Facebook page, I waited for the cue call and decided to try to call in even though I didn't hear the cue call yet. Of course, the call didn't go through. I thought to myself maybe I missed the cue or it's not time yet. As I was idling a little, I heard Hitz's phone number being called out(?) on the radio and immediately pressed the Call button (I was still on the phone log). After a while, the call went through! And to my surprise, THEY PICKED UP! I was like "omg someone picked up!! but I could've been late and they still picked up." Turns out... I WON! I WON A ITALY-FLAGGED ROLLING STONE TONGUE TEE FROM KITSCHEN! Thanks to Hitz.fm! I was sort of slapping myself on the face when I was on the phone.... He asked whether I knew "thanks" in Italian and I said I didn't know and soon told me I won! Woohoo! When we reached home, the winner announcement segment was on and I sounded funny on the radio! Freaking high pitched ahahaha! In the end, I was like "Winning something from Hitz.fm, achievement unlocked!" cause it's the first freaking time I won something from Hitz.fm. And it was the radio side instead of the website!! Much happiness!

(After much worrying and consideration throughout the night, I might not get the shirt after all cause it might get lost in the mail while being delivered... Or they could've sent it to the wrong address... Sigh... Oh well at least I knew I won once!)

When I got home and decided to check my email, I saw an email with the subject "CONGRATULATIONS!". Turns out it was an email from Neopets that I had won in their Neopets Lottery! And better yet, it was a free Neopets Lottery ticket from spinning the Wheel of Monotony!! I didn't even pick the numbers and yet I manage to win!! Luckiness overload!

For the past few nights, before falling asleep, I kept thinking of creating a new blog mainly to compile all the current on-going movie related giveaways/contests. But of course whenever I woke up and got myself to my laptop, I sort of feel like giving up the whole idea... I'm just so lazy...... Urgh... I thought of the name of the blog already. It will be named "Luck Life Leisure" or "Luck, Life and Leisure". Suits the idea I guess. But.. Might take a while before I finally create that blog... I actually forgot whether or not to put in the "and". I was even thinking of creating a new email address just for that blog...

Recent Doings

Since "graduating" a month ago, I have been doing nothing but slacking at home. Okay maybe not entirely nothing but just doing a lot of random, non necessary, non important things. Here's a list of random things I've been doing recently :

- Abusing the internet ; downloading tons of movies (15 in a week at least) ; watched none
- Flipping tumblr & Youtube ; X-Men DOFP interviews ; Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy
- Reading interviews ; Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy
^ 3 windows, 25 tabs once when I was doing the above

- Trying to clear unwatched, recorded programs on Astro
- Constantly joining contests to win movie passes, merchandises
- Travelling around for food (Mille Crepe)
- Clearing movies I didn't win passes to watch but still want to watch
- Slack ; Slack ; Slack

Okay that's not a lot.

Other random things that happened recently :
- Marcus' baby brother, Alfred, was born on the same day as Cheesie's first born on the 11th of June.
- My #Twitterversary !  Not sure on the 13th or 14th. 5 years on twitter.

Present Shopping

Last Friday (6th of June), I went to Sunway Pyramid to join Yuan and Yuyu to shop for someone's birthday present. I reached Sunway Pyramid before their class ended so I wandered around the mall while waiting for them. At some point, I saw some college girls holding a Perry (platypus from Phineas and Ferb) cap and bag and wondered whether there's a roadshow/event going on and alas there was! Disney Junior's School's Out roadshow/event! First thing that came in mind is "WHY AM I NOT 10 YEARS YOUNGER?!" Then again I saw tons of college people queuing up at the Phineas and Ferb game booth so I queued along to get my cap and bag. Got them both before Yuan and Yuyu came! Skipped all other game booths cause I got what I wanted.

After Yuan bought her Edge of Tomorrow tickets, we went for lunch at Capricciosa. I think the one I ordered was Creamy Pomodoro Salmon. All I remember was the spaghetti I ordered had salmon and a tomato cream sauce. It was delicious! They were talking about the buffet promo and suggested we come again next time (with more people) for the buffet. After lunch, we started to look for the birthday present. Yuan's movie starts around 3.15pm so she left soon after. Yuyu and I continued to look around and ended up in Parkson. We ended up buying a set of lotion/shower gel thingy. We didn't know what to buy and the set seemed okay so we decided to get that. And it was at an okay price. Buy 1 Free 1. We thought of giving the other set to whoever's birthday comes up next. Of course with the exception of me and herself.

When we went to pay for her parking ticket's fee, we were shocked to see that the charge was RM5. Turns out that day was a holiday eve. So the parking fees were higher. She sent me home soon after. The presents are in Yuyu's keepsake in the meantime. It's been a while since I went shopping with them so even though we were looking for something for someone else, I had fun.

How To Train Your Dragon 2

Newest movie I won passes to watch? How To Train Your Dragon 2 ! Courtesy of Nuffnang! Never thought I would actually win passes this time since the answer I gave was pretty... General-ish... And I could be just lying. I'm more to an introvert after all. There was a pre-screening party this time! Initially I planned to buy + wear a dress and in the end I ditched the idea. Cause... It would be weird... Since I don't really wear dresses even when I attend relative's wedding. The screening was at Encorp Strand Mall's TGV Cinema. New mall new cinema. The mall smelled new! I was very excited the moment I laid my eyes on the building.

The night before the screening, around 10.30pm, I received an email from KLIPS saying I had won premiere passes from them to watch How To Train Your Dragon 2 as well! But the screening from KLIPS was held at GSC 1Utama instead.. I really wanted to see what a pre-screening party is like and so I decided to go for the one I won from Nuffnang. Sorry KLIPS and I deeply thank you again and still for the premiere passes to The Amazing Spider-Man 2! I started worrying I might have forgotten to RSVP for Nuffnang's screening and at 2am, I decided to RSVP the screening by KLIPS as a contingency plan... So I'd get to watch HTTYD2 one way or another. I'm a terrible person I know. Well I did ask around if anyone wanted the passes but as usual, no one wanted them. Got used to it but I still like to "boast" about my winnings! *inserts maniacal laughter*

Days before the screening I planned out how I was gonna get to the venue (through public transport) but in the end all my planning got thrown aside cause I manage to get a ride there. Still ended up watching alone but it's all okay~ At the pre-screening party, mini cupcakes, Toothless mask and HTTYD2 stickers were given away. The first (and probably only) person I recognized at the venue was the emcee. The same guy from Animax Carnival... I wonder how many times do I see him emcee-ing at events in a year. As anticipated, there was a Q&A goodie bag giveaway! I managed to get a goodie bag with a Axe-shaped Ice Cube Tray! One of the item I really wanted from all the HTTYD2 giveaway I've seen so far! A Viking Helmet was given away too but I didn't win that cause I didn't bring any black items with me sob. There was a mini lucky draw by HP for a printer and the first person that got called got it.... The fastest lucky draw I've ever seen.... I stayed till the party was over before heading in to Hall 8 for my movie! ♥ ♥ ♥

[OKAY NOW FOR SOME LOVE AND SPOILERS]

I LOVE HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2! Even though I really didn't expect the father to die :'( only after being reunited with the mother for a short while T___T I cried when the mother reunited with Hiccup and when she was showing Hiccup the little tricks she learned. Not to forgot when the father and mother are reunited and were singing and dancing. And definitely cried even more when the father died and they were sending him away T____T I think I saw some guys who teared too! Toothless is so so adorable! Especially when he was flapping his new found ability. little spikes(?) revealed by Valka. I thought they would relive a happy family life T___T

I would advise those who are emotional like me to bring packs of tissue for teary emotional moments :')

X-Men: Days of Future Past [3/6/14]

So I finally decided to watch X-Men: Days of Future Past~ Didn't really get enough sleep before crawling out of bed around 10am. I'm pretty sure I was rolling around since 8am or so. Luckily I didn't fall asleep or even yawn much during the movie.

In short : X-Men: Days of Future Past is amazing + awesome! Just enough action and tension(?) to keep me awake and keep me on my toes! I had my fist clenched most of the time... For fear, sadness, anger and so on.. Throughout the movie, I kept going "Erik (Michael Fassbender) looks so hot and handsome, can I just cling on to him?!" You know.. Like a koala.. =///=

-

Hmm I'm just gonna go with the spoiler-ish stuff that I loved in this movie. I thought it was cute when Erik and Charles were reunited at the Pentagon. Erik being all dizzy after Peter moves him is so human. I didn't realize Peter IS Quicksilver cause... Well I tend to forget things.. I remember reading somewhere Quicksilver is gonna be in this movie but totally forgot about it when I finally got to watch X-Men : DOFP. I confused Kitty and Rogue cause... I didn't actually finish all the previous X-Men films.... One day I will! (okay download in progress as I'm typing hehehehehe) I like Blink's power and looks ;) When Mystique was flipping the files in Trask's office, it didn't occur to me the mutants were the mutants from X-Men : First Class... I only thought some of them looked familiar... (same thing happened when Havok appeared in the beginning) Even even Erik was naming them to Charles, I could only recognize Angel..... She had more on-screen time that the others I guess. Felt so much for Erik during the plane scene.. Poor Hank though when he was piloting the plane.

- - - - -

Okay I delayed this post by a day.... Two paragraphs in, I went to play Unlight (a not-so-new-yet-new-to-me card game I found days ago) and Neopets (I think) and totally forgot about this post. It happens a lot really... Only realized I left this post opened when I was about to leave the laptop.

An update from today (since I'm lazy to start a new post) :

Read up a little (only certain parts of wiki) on Michael Fassbender and only then I realized he's younger than Benedict Cumberbatch! By less than a year! I've read the same page last year but didn't realize the age part hehehe.. Right after I was done with the little 'read', I went to download The Counselor mwahaha! Immediate 'action' was taken due to the realization that Michael Fassbender is in it. Didn't notice he's in it when I wanted to watch The Counselor when it came out last year. Miraculously the download completed within two hours! So rare for the internet speed to be that fast!

Oh oh! How To Train Your Dragon 2 comes out next week! And guess what? I won passes to watch it before it's official release here courtesy of Nuffnang! And now to plan on how to get there... Since Encorp Strand Mall is quite far away.. There's a pre-screening party so I really wanna be there early.

I'll write about Unlight sometime soon. Ciao~
