IT'S THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS Y'ALL! And you know what THAT means.
That means I've got a super-long weekend!... aaand DOS duty on Friday. Chee. What a bummer. Guess my long weekend ain't gonna seem very long after all, 'cos I've gotta book in on Thursday and only hand over my duty on Saturday morning. And the screwed up part is, my entire extended family, including both my sis and bro-in-laws are going for a short trip to Malaysia! Dang. As my mom ruefully said, susah payah ibu dapatkan semua orang, ader jer kau ader duty la, kerja la. Bukannya senang tau nak dapatkan abang kau free sumer, lagi² the whole family dapat pergi. Haiz. Well, wait ibu, wait till I'm no longer addressed as 3SG Zulhikam, but Mr. Zulhikam =) I can't wait!
Oh, thanks for the Swensen's treat Syida! =) It's my turn to repay the favour. Stay tuned.
Went to Vivo to catch a 9:30pm movie, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street which I've been planning to watch for a long time. Speaking of which, I had a dream circa 3 weeks back, that our friend here Sweeney Todd was after me and he was literally chasing me with a parang on the streets at night, a la Freddy Krueger. That's friggin' scary uh. I don't wanna be made into a human pie. I must have forgotten to angkat my usual wudhu' before bedtime that night. Sheesh.
The movie ain't quite what I expected though. It's quite a different... experience. With about 70% of the movie consisting of... urm singing. Woah man. And truth be told, I quite enjoyed it. Woah man there Hikam. First, I watched a chickflick in 27 Dresses. Now, a musical. I'm really pushing myself and expanding my horizons mannn. It didn't hurt that the 2 female leads were pretty hot either! In tight corsets and makeup. Mmmmm. In the movie, Joanna the golden-haired lass exudes an innocent Rumpelstiltskin girl-next-door charm that was well... charming. Mrs. Lovett is a gothic wonder, sexy in a demented, perverse way, what with her pale skin and painted eyebags and heaving... u know. I read that Helena Bonham Carter was pregnant while portraying Mrs. Lovett. Well, I say you can't get anymore feminine than a pregnant woman! First she looked strangely pretty as a female monkey in Planet of the Apes. Then she looked hot as crazy Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter. And now THIS! And oh yeah, the slitting of throats in the movie was very brutal. The exaggerated spurting of thick red blood was so spurious that it was funny. And that's a Tim Burton hallmark right there. To be able to portray the blood such that it seems theatrical, not violent takes some skill. Overall, brilliant movie I say wot?
My bike Practical 1 is coming up this Saturday! Woohooo! I...I...I... excite!
