An All-English Champion’s League Final?04.29.08

Semi Finals - 2nd Leg

Manchester United vs Barcelona 

Liverpool vs Chelsea

Fans of the English Team as well as will sure have their own view or opinion on who will win the 2007/08 Champions League Cup. I wont be making a bias comment here though MU is my fav team and for sure I’m hoping that MU will win the cup… ;)

With Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool were in the semi finals, there’s a decent chance two of the English sides could meet in the May 23 final in Athens. The three English teams repeated last season’s success.

In the mean time, to all Manchester United and Barcelona fans, stay awake for the match at 2.30a.m tommorow (Malaysia time) . A match too big to be missed!

So who will you guys pick for proceed to Moscow?  

 

P/S Man United will be double winners this season? Is it too early for me to say this? Maybe I should say it after the game this morning rite? ;)

Double J in ACTION!04.27.08

Whoaaaa…I love both Jackie Chan and Jet Li and seeing them acted in the same movie is something that I’ve been waiting for so long. I went to watched the midnight show of The Forbidden Kingdom yesterday with my boo. The movie opens with a prologue about the Monkey King (Jet Li) and I’m sure most of you remember the famous ‘Journey To The West‘ drama series rite? I can say that Dicky Cheung plays the role of the Monkey King a.k.a Suen Ng Hung better than anyone else ;) Goshhhh, I love the series very much!

 

While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason makes an extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu master Lu Yan and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk. But only by learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.

Cast :
Jackie Chan as Old Hop/Lu Yan & T’sa-Ho
Jet Li as The Monkey King/The Silent Monk
Crystal Liu Yifei as Golden Sparrow
Michael Angarano as Jason Tripitikas
Collin Chou as Jade Warlord

Directed by Rob Minkoff

 

Jackie and Jet Li’s characters here in TFK are written based from their characters in their greatest on screen moments for examples Drunken Master and The Shaolin Temple respectively. Both men are still able to pull off some very entertaining fight sequences regardless of their age…lol…The long awaited fighting scene of the two kungfu legends Jackie Chan versus Jet Li are finally here and this is what I meant by that (see the clip below) :

 

 

However, I know that this is the westernization of a Chinese story but how I wish if the characters would speak in either Mandarin or Cantones…hehehe…It’s just weird to hear them speak in  English especially when the movie is set in a legendary Chinese kingdom…hmmm!

Nevertheless, I’m surprised to see Crystal Liu in this movie. It’s been a while since I last saw her in the 2006 television series, ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes‘. Actually, I watched the series from the CDs I bought during my holidays in KL back in 2006 ;)

 

 

Overall, I’d give ‘The Forbidden Kingdom’ a 3.5/5. If you love to see the two kungfu legends in actions, this is the right movie to watch. Don’t expect too much though. And I’m sure that it is the main reason people come and watch this movie! :)

Second Chance in LOVE?03.03.08

Do you believe in giving the person who you used to love a second chance? It doesn’t matter who end up the relationship at the first place. What is important is whether you are willing to be with the person again after the break up.

I used to believe that once I broke up with that person, I will never look back again. I was wrong! My Best Friend always say this to me, ”once is enough“, but does it? I have to disagree with him this time as I think it is how you feel towards the person that counts. If you still love that person and you know that you still have the chance to be with him or her, then why let your ego come in between? You should fight for your love then (I know I did and the result…hehehe…as I expected ~ 29.02.08, the day that I will owez remember)!!!

Sometimes, we never realize how important that person is in our life. We got too comfortable and started to take it for granted and without us realizing, its gone!

What if they don’t want to give you a chance to be with them again? Well, try hard to win their heart and trust. Don’t stop if you fail on the first try. But if your attempt to get back with them fails again and again, then you should know it’s time to really let go and move on with your life ;)

 

Note : If you want to get back into the relationship than do it. If you don’t want to then don’t!!! It’s the matter of whether both of you still love each other which is more important.

Cute BABY Photos02.27.08

Baby is so cute…I couldn’t agree more! I’m looking at my friends profile in their Friendster and I found out that some of them used their ‘precious little one‘ as their primary photo and that is really cute. They must be very proud! I don’t know how it feels but I guess it brings joy to their life. I must agree that being a parent is not easy, especially when raising the children but having children is a blessing ;)

It makes me smile when I see the parents arguing on whether the baby looks like the father or the mother. Familiar with this, ‘she has my eyes, but she has your nose and your round face‘? Heard it everytime. In my opinion, a baby is a pretty good mix of both husband and wife!!!

Have you ever heard that everyone tends to say that baby boys look like daddy and girls look like mommy, no matter who they really look like? hmmm…

While wondering, enjoy the cute baby photos taken from my friends Friendster picture gallery.

Will You Marry Me?02.16.08

What your answer will be if he propose you to marry him? But what if he propose you like what this guy did? A very unique proposal indeed. Lucky girl, Kelly Tan E Li got an unexpected marriage proposal on Valentine’s Day from her boyfriend, David Tan. It was “wrapped” in a RM 14,000 diamond ring (woweee…) and a huge RM 40,000 billboard advertisement…OMG, sweet and yet very expensive!

 

 

“The whole thing started as a very normal Wednesday. We went out for dinner and he insisted on sending me home. The date ended very late, close to midnight. We got talking in the car and as we drove along the LDP in Kelana Jaya, he got excited and asked me to look at an interesting billboard by the side of the road”

“I looked and was stunned. David’s picture was on the board! And beside his picture, were the magic word, ‘Kelly Tan E Li, will you marry me?’

“I was so shocked and could not speak for about 10 minutes. He finally smiled when I told him ‘yes‘”

Immediately after Kelly said yes, David pulled out a box and inside was a sparkling diamond ring.

RM 54,000 for just a proposal is way too much especially for a middle income person like myself. With that amount of money, I can make a grand wedding reception in one of the 5 Star Hotels in town…hehehe…There’s a lot that I can do actually. Let me see. I can buy a laptop, a PDA, Canon DSLR (oh yesss), a car (Myvi or those within the range lah) or maybe use the money to deposit on a house. Ok Ok…that’s enough…stop dreaming and wake up Mandy!!!

Tell me what would you do if you have RM 54k in your hand right now? Start dreaming people… ;)

 

Note : Too rich and don’t know what else to do with your money, why not donate some of your wealth to the needy instead!

    I went to the Tip of Borneo (or Simpang Mengayau as the locals call it)recently! It is one of the main attraction in Kudat where you can see the stunning view of the South China Sea. It's awesome...The above picture was taken using a Canon DSLR Rebel XT/350D with Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 lens... ^_^
