Alice in Wonderland

I had the chance to go catch a movie last Monday with my aunt at Alor Setar Mall. This is the first time for me to go to that mall.....it was really nice! The mall itself looked so run down from the outside, but once you step in, it's totally different! Don't be fooled by the image you see outside! hihihihi!

Well.....actually "Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most anticipated movies of this year. I have been waiting to see this since I saw the trailer last year. Of course another reason for watching is because Johnny Depp is starring in it as the Mad Hatter! I must say the costume design and the makeup is brilliant.....for all characters in this movie. I didn't really like his acting that much in this movie though, but I do like Helena Bonham Carter who played the Red Queen.....she was brilliant!

The only thing that frustrated me was the screenplay and the way the story was told. I found it quite boring....huhuhuhu. I've seen other versions of Alice in Wonderland before and I loved them. Somehow in this one I didn't even though the special effects were so cool.

I noticed that Alice's costumes were mostly made using cloth that came in shades of blue! I love that! I love most of her costumes in this movie.....love her hair too.....it's kinda like mine except she's blonde hihihihihihi! :) I also love that cat! Cheshire cat! He is so charming!

My rating for this movie : 3 / 5

The cycling track

The photos above shows the places where I ride my bicycle almost everyday nearby my Mom's house early in the morning. Isn't it a beautiful place? I love it here. The road you see is just a small lane that I use as my cycling track. I would do at least 5 rounds on this track every time and then take a ride back home.

I especially love the big trees. I'm sure they are more than 50 years old. My Mom and Dad bought their house here more than 30 years ago....so obviously those trees were here before that. Just look at the size of those trees. They are huge. But I love cycling by them in the morning, breathing in the fresh air, I can smell the grass, flowers and leaves from the trees. I could also spot quite a handful of different species of birds. Some I've never seen before. It's so peaceful here. Of course I'm not the only one cycling there. There are quite a handful of people doing so. It's always nice to have company :).

Yellow snow? :)

I never thought that I would be able to see this again......till yesterday when I came back from town with my aunt and I saw those tiny yellow flowers falling from the trees at the park nearby my house. I remember when I was a teenager, I would ride my bicycle and pass by this park on the way to school. Once a year, usually between February and March.....there will be a time when the big trees at the park, flower. I absolutely adore it because, when there is strong wind, millions of those yellow flowers would fall slowly on the ground, looking like yellow snow....hehehehe.....it's so beautiful! There are so many of these trees at the park and when they all flower at the same time, it's gorgeous!!!

Too bad I didn't have my camera with me when I saw those flowers fall to the ground yesterday morning. And today when I did bring it with me when I went cycling, there was no wind.....and so, I couldn't take photos of it to share it here. I was only able to take photos of those flowers that are still on the trees and the ones that had fallen earlier.

They only flower once a year......so I guess if I'm still around next year, I hope to experience this miracle from God again...... :) It's too beautiful to miss!!

Exhausted....

It's been quite sometime since I last wrote anything here about myself....huhuhuhu.....it's been pretty hectic here at home juggling with work. I sometimes wonder how do I do it......being sick and all and yet I still manage to get up every morning, and work work work. I'm happy that I get to do some cycling at least 6 times a week every morning, with 4 to 5 rounds of it at the park for my cardio.....plus the other exercise that I also do at home. It helps release the stress and keeps me calm.

All I can think about everyday these days is how to improve my business.....improve my designs...and of course improve my health. Because if I don't have good health...there will be no business for me. I have to keep reminding myself about that. Must never forget to give my body the rest it needs everyday. Must have a time to release stress, a time to laugh, a time to just be happy about something. It's important :). I don't want to get a stroke any time soon hahahaha.....so must try to be happy no matter what happens!

The coming week will even more hectic for me.....God knows how I am going to deal with it. I can only do one thing at a time....step by step....little by little till I get all of it done. Puke out all the stress inside and resume back to work. Guess what?? Just yesterday I discovered in Youtube loads of cartoon videos of Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, The Roadrunner and Wild E Coyote......gosh those cartoons sure does brings back all the good memories. I had a good laugh!! A real good one! They are just so funny. I realize that they just don't make great cartoons like that anymore. Thank God for Youtube that I can view them again and again. These cartoon ideas are just pure genius. Love them!
