Boss, saya keluar sekejap

Managed to steal some me time this afternoon between 2-5pm. I sped to e-curve thinking I might be able to catch Skyfall. Alas, I missed it by 15mins and I hate missing the opening scenes of movies, what more a Bond film. The next movie about to start was the latest Twilight movie. Sigh...i am too much of a cynical makcik to believe in young passionate love without rolling my eyes but what the heck, I had already gotten the popcorn, Twilight pun Twilight lah. The movie was....considering what I really wanted was some me time doing some brainless activity, the movie served the purpose but throughout a large part of it I was rolling my eyes like mad, really Bella, really?? And come on Alice, no one's that nice much less a cold blooded vampire but it was enjoyable to have a self righteous rant by mself, it would have been even more enjoyable if I could have thrown popcorn on the screen ala meg ryan in mad love but we can't have it all. But I really thought the movie was about to redeem itself when the battle scene was about to start, Dr Cullen did u just die??? That put my eyes back in my socket from all the ro,lling. I thought this is it! This is when Twilightstarts paying back to its viewers! And then Jackson dies and I am thinking Oh my God, Twilight is pulling out all the stops for its finale, woah..i love the tall Lurch-like bad guy saying "Finally..." when Dracula 1 and 2 charge towards him, loving the we-fight-as-a-team camaderie between the good vampires and werewolves including the scene where Esme is saved by the self sacrificing werewolf and I am all geared up to the penultimate end of Aro when like the ultimate potong stim habis, it was all a bloody Alice vision!!! Oh carutans!!! I hv not been this pissed at a storyline since Bobby Ewing came back from the dead in the shower and said it had all been a dream...even his marriage to priscilla presley after victoria principal and all the ensuing drama including the bucking bronco...Man, i didn't realise I still carried that memory around, must be Larry Hagman's death bringing all this back...anyway, what was I talking about? Ya, Twi-f***ing-cop-out-light, I think I expected more from the finale but still it was a really nice 2 hours by myself, I left the movie thinking Man, it would be nice if I had a personal werewolf bodyguard for my kids

Aku sangat jakun (aka i need to get out more)

I very rarely get invited to or attend glitzy events at posh venues with VIPs etc but yesterday Sab, my office roomie, took me to the Islamic Fashion show something or rather, its full name is on the poster below.

Everyone of course dressed up in their finest glittery outfits, nama pun fashion show kan, but me didn't because don't own anything that hasn't been spit, vomited (or worse)on and rather spend money on yummy food than on nice things for self. ANYWAY, I came as my usual selebet self with no make up on save my Nivea cherry lip balm, only just remembering as I was about to exit the car to change from selipar to the office shoes I only wear for meetings with clients. So there I was among all the beautifully dressed up people when suddenly I spotted standing somewhere in the middle of all the shiny sequins, jewels and bright colours, a picture of elegance in a sweet and simple pastel lilac and light grey outfit: Datuk Sarimah Ahmad herself. And memang sah i jadi jakun. I had already seen as we were seated at our table a few celebrities nearby but they were mostly young actresses that i kenal muka tapi tak ingat or tak tahu nama. But when i saw Sarimah, pelakon veteran of movies such as Ibu Mertuaku, Madu Tiga and Ali Baba Bujang Lapuk to name a few, my stalker sense lit right up! Dengan tak malunya, after the event, I went up to her and the usual starstruck drivel sprouted from my mouth. She was ever so gracious and kind and even relented to my makcik paparaziness. Ladies and gentleman, my photo with the one and only celebrity that mattered to me there:

I only hope that I can look that good when I am 70, God willing.
