So in the end we picked Blood : The Last Vampire because my dad saw Terminator : Salvation with my bro-in-law before... Since we have around 40 minutes to kill before the movie started at 12.50 p.m., we browse through the mall and noticed there's a new shop opened, a Muslim's bakery, I think called King's Confectionary...
And I went into Popular Bookstore and saw quite a few anime DVDs and japanese dorama DVDs (though sadly no Nodame or Hanakimi)... But I did saw Ghost Hunt Complete DVD boxset, Yuyu Hakusho Complete DVD boxset, Inuyasha complete movies DVD boxset, Q.E.D Complete DVD boxset, etc.... All have japanese audio and english subs at least...
Finally it's time to watch the movie and we bought popcorns... I brought drinks from home, though.. XD But next time I am SO gonna fry some keropok and bring it from home because the popcorns is expensive! No way I'm spending RM5 for a box of popcorns which will be finished even before halfway through the movie.. =.="
I also took some pics outside of the cinema.. My dad besides the poster of the movie we watched :
And THIS is the movie I've been wanting to watch badly... Thankfully it will be aired in this cinema since it's nearer to my house.. I found out we can order it already, and can even do an online order.. I just checked the seatings and it's almost empty! Only one other seat had been purchased.. I just need to find out weather my dad (or anyone interested) wants to watch it with me or not and pick the best time to watch it..
Oh yeah, I'll share a couple of pictures of my flower plant... It was on the brink of death after it was attacked by small white-ish worms thingy.. I had to squashed each and everyone of them and i counted up to more than 50 worms!! For a while I thought it was a lost cause because it lose almost all it's leaves and a few of the stems had turned brown and black.. But now the plant is starting to get better and even sprout flowers and buds..

I'm ISTP...
Rodin's Thinker is introverted. Here these thinkers ponder the apparent chaos of the world in order to extract from it the universal truths and principles that can be counted on. These principles, once extracted, will provide the logical structure on which to build strategies.
They have a finely nuanced ability to analyse situations, find root causes and foresee consequences. They distrust action taken too quickly without the necessary investigation. They are usually levelheaded, objective, impersonal yet intensely involved in problem solving. They are fiercely independent, seeking input and comments from a chosen few. When reporting to others, they need to establish credibility first: their own and that of the person they are reporting to. If the gap in knowledge and expertise is too great and their own proficiency dismissed, belittled or ignored, they will lose interest and motivation.
They are less interested in running the world as they are in understanding it. They are curious and capable of explaining complex political, economic or technological problems, taking great pleasure in explaining all the factors and intricacies. They are rigorous with their thoughts and analysis, choosing the exact words that convey precisely what is meant. They may spend a lot of time defining words, concepts and systems in order to define a problematic solution.
They are armchair detectives, scientists and philosophers, spending most of their time in quiet reflection to ponder truth, and solve mysteries. They may tend to neglect social requirements and responsibilities, finding many relationships to be too superficial to be of much interest.
Okay, the last part, "They may tend to neglect social requirements and responsibilities, finding many relationships to be too superficial to be of much interest" may explain why i'm boyfriendless all these years..
Next time at family gatherings when those busy-body gosspimongers ask me where's my boyfriend, i'm telling them "I don't need a man, i have Rodin, you biatch!!"

So his English sucks, but if a guy went through all the trouble of wearing an angel's wings and be suspended a few feet in the air while singing to you, wouldn't you be charmed...
Iyannnnnn... Bakachi sure is charmed... There's a flower blooming in bakachi's heart right now...

At around 3 a.m-ish, my dad suddenly woke up and he opened the door and saw someone, running from the hall towards the kitchen... He must of been on his way to the front door, to find the key and open the front door so he can get his partner in crime to enter the house.. I think the guy who entered through the window is small and might not be strong enough to overpower the ppl inside the house, thus his job is to get his partner to enter through the front door and his partner will be the one to threatened the occupant of the house....
But the first guy was startled before he managed to let his partner in and ran out through the window...
We check the crime scene the next morning and saw that they've sort of bend the kitchen window grill and removed the glass...
I'm thankful that at least no one was hurt and they didn't managed to get anything from the house yet... Instead of being afraid, I feel anger and want they to try again when I'm ready for them so I can stab or shoot them...
If I can, i would put copper wire around my house window grills and run electric through them so that if anyone or anything try to touch it from the outside, they'll get electrocuted... But my knowledge in electricity isn't very vast, so I don't want to take chances and accidently electrocute a family member...
Yes, I am a violent person..
Nowadays, ppl always try to get easy money and don't want to work.. They want to work, but only easy work, you know.. So instead, they chose to steal ppls' money, and hurt other ppl... (>.<)

Lesson #4 :
"Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later."
Cats are never doormats, They love the routine of going for a walk at sunset everyday, or playing a game at lunchtime, but you can't push them about at your whim. Cats have responsibilities such as eliminating any rodents and pests in the house, patrolling their territory, repelling invaders and lots of other such catly duties. Ask them to interrupt their schedule and a cat may do you a favour - but only if it suits them.
Don't you wish you could say no to people asking you to change your plans, do their work as well as your own, give up time to amuse them and so on? Think yourself as a set of whiskers and stop trying to please others all the time. Being flexible and kind but not a doormat in any way, will let you reach your goals and earn you a reputation for efficiency. The tough-but-kind attitude will also increase others' respect for you.
If anything, one of the 10 lessons that bakachi have follow to heart dearly.. Though I'm not on everyone's favourite person list, at least I am not a pushover and don't get used... But some ppl like being used, I guess... I can't live my life like that... I like to be liked and needed by ppl, but only to a certain extend... Not to the point it is inconvenient to me or disrupt my schedule... Unless it's an emergency and when I see fits...
Don't try to be pushy with me, because the more you try to force me to do something, the more reluctant I am in saying yes...
So just try again later, or leave all the info with me and give me some time to think about it... And then try to do a follow up after some time, I might end up saying yes... Don't try to push me to say yes on the spot though, because when being pushed, instead of getting a maybe, you'll end up with a definite NO!

"Unlike us, cats never outgrow their delight in cat capacities, nor do they settle for limitation. Cats live out their lives fulfilling their expectations."
Have you ever seen a cat stalk its prey? An orange cat will stalk a bird on a green lawn without giving a second thought to camouflage or chances of success. Similarly, a cat will sing to a cicak (lizard) on the ceiling, patiently waiting for the day it comes too far down the wall. Even then it may not catch it, but a cat never gives up and just enjoys the stalk-and-pounce of it all.
Relax and enjoy stretching yourself to the limit, but don't give up if you don't reach your goals all at once, is the message here. When you enjoy the process of trying to reach your goals as much as the achievement itself, you'll have much more fun - and probably far more success too.

"Cats are rather delicate creatures and are subject to a good many different ailments, but I've never heard of one who suffered from insomnia."
Cats can beat up the dog next door, have a few rounds of fisty-cuffs with the rival Tomcat, admonish their human master (or servant!) over the size and quality of their meal and then, when the entire neighbourhood is quivering with resentment, fall asleep on the best part of the sofa.
The lesson is simple : Don't let anything get between you and a good snooze. Cats know that worrying won't alter facts and that exhaustion merely adds to the tension. You will never see a cat toss and turn, not will you see a cat trying to stumble through the day yawning and rubbing their eyes, punch drunk with lack of sleep. Follow a cat's example and stop worrying about the nasty thing somebody said about you, that mistake you made at work or what will happen tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep and let tomorrow come as it will. Tip : In meeting, wear sunglasses so as not to upset the less relaxed people around you.

Lesson #1 :
"Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want."
When cants want something they consider is due t them, such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, cuddles, they'll ask for it with the loud ya-ow every feline lover is familiar with. The time of day or your convenience are irrelevant. If, on the other hand, a cat is asking for a favour, their approach is quite different - purring vigorously, they'll caress your ankles or pose in the most appealing attitudes until you give in.
Likewise, if you want something from someone, a cat's approach can be copied. Firmly asking for what is due to you without embarrassment or apology will prompt compliance as well as make everyone respect you into the bargain. Try it once and you'll never use the weak please like, "Sorry to bother you, but may I have my salary/raise/refund?" again. When asking for a favour, purring may be tough to achieve and rubbing someone's ankles may not be the best approach. However, the soft advance that starts with a compliment and ends with an indication of how grateful you'll be if your favour is granted, will significantly improve the chance of your slightest wish being gratified.

1. It's supposedly free holiday, lemme quote what was being told, "Just bring yourselves, clothes and some shopping money"... Ppl involved were ex-students from the place i studied cooking/such, 2 male, 5 females... One driver and one officer in charge of our lodgings, food, well being, etc (since he holds the money)...
2. The five of us (3 females, and 2 male) got along fine, but the other 2 females are total snobs who thinks they are above every and anyone else...
3. Other qualities of those two females (dubbed "Dugong" by bakachi) that really pissed everyone else off (even the driver) :
- they act like they are the prettiest, when they are fat (hey, i'm fat too) and don't know nothing about fashion! They already look like old ladies when one of them is the same age as bakachi and the other is only 20!
- they flirt with ANY men in vicinity, and make these so-called sexy/cute sound and such in what they believe is flirtatious.. Flirtatious my butt! Sounds more like strangled lizards...
- they ALWAYS wear the same type of clothes, the "pregnant" clothes that tied at the back which makes them look fatter and frumpy, like old ladies... Come on, you want to act like high class ladies, start with actually looking fashionable.... >.<
- they flirt a lot with the officer in charge of our well being, and go out together all the time (despite one of them is engaged already, and the other one have a boyfriend).. the money that was supposed to be spend on ALL of us, only get spend on those "Dugongs"... karaoke, cinema, cable car rides, food, etc... they get it all while we had to pay for our cable car rides, only get fed once a day, etc.... it's SO unfair! imagine not having enough sleep (spend most of our time in the van going from one place to another), then only getting fed once a day at weird hours... some of us got terribly sick during the trip, you know...
4. The officer is a BIG casanova... well, if he's good looking, young, unmarried, then it would be fine... But he's old, married with children, and ugly (at least he's not MY taste or my other female frens' taste)... he even dare to suggest that i sleep with him?!!! wtf?!!
5. Then the only time he treat us to a movie (well, not really a treat, coz the money WAS supposed to be spend on us all), he warned the boys not to sit next to him in the cinema, he wants to be surrounded by us girls... You think ANY of us girls want to spend a few hours with him in a dark cinema? He also touches us and stuff (I slapped his hand away)...
So, neeways, that's why the trip sucks for me... Well, if any of you were in my place, wouldn't that sucks for you too?
