Blind because of Water?

I received this from a colleague of mine today right after I came back from lunch was kinda shocked at 1st. I mean water being harmful? Of course there is always a doubt about it, no?

Well below is the news article about it. Though it was published in 2007, still it's better to share information around, no? XD

Kinda interesting but scary at the same time hor... Yea even I am kinda sweating over this. But a thought to ponder of why this has also happened. Humans. We destroy our ownself! We are so self destructive aren't we?

Photobucket

Correct timing to drink water, will maximize its effectiveness on the Human body.
  2 glass of water - After waking up -  Helps activate internal organs
  1 glass of water  - 30 minutes before meal - Help digestion
  1 glass of water - Before taking a bath - Helps lower blood pressure
  1 glass of water - Before sleep  - To avoid stroke or heart attack



That is supposedly the correct method of drinking water according to the mail I received. Yet to do much research from my side though. Would certainly check on it and update it here!! Dear Readers, you could share this with your dearests as well as your friends to ensure that everyone is safe... 
Prepare the umbrella before it rains they say.  XD

The Last Song~

Ok I know yet another review.... But please bear with me for once more as this is the last review I've got in hand for now. In the mean time, here is the synopsis of the story.

 
****************************************************************************
At seventeen, Veronica "Ronnie" Miller (Miley Cyrus) remains as rebellious as she was the day after her parents' ugly divorce and father's subsequent relocation to Georgia three years ago. Once a classical piano child prodigy under the tutelage of her father, Steve Miller (Greg Kinnear), Ronnie now rejects the instrument and has not spoken to her father since he left. While Juilliard School has been interested in her since she was young, Ronnie refuses to attend.
Now, Steve is given the chance to reconnect with his estranged daughter when her mother, Kim (Kelly Preston) sends the rebellious teen and her younger brother, Jonah (Bobby Coleman), to spend the summer with him. Steve, a former Juilliard School professor and concert pianist, now lives a quiet life in Tybee Island, the small Georgia beach town where he grew up, working on a stained glass window for the local church to replace the one the church lost in a fire.
Upon arrival, Ronnie is miserable, hostile and defensive toward all those around her, including handsome, popular Will Blakelee (Liam Hemsworth) – until, after both she and Will become involved in protecting a Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest, she discovers he is deeper than she believed. As Ronnie falls in love with Will, she also manages to form a better, stronger bond with her father. As their relationship deepens, her father collapses with a coughing fit one day. Ronnie immediatley takes Steve to the hospital to realize that he had been diagnosed with cancer long before her summer visit. She decides to start spending more time with her father since he is not likely to live much longer. Around the same time Ronnie and Will get into a fight. And then Will leaves for college so there is no time to patch things up.
Steve has been working on a piece of music for quite a while, being the composer that he is. Fall comes and Jonah has to return to New York for the school year but Ronnie stays behind to take care of her father. Leading a slow life she tries to fill the three years of ignoring her father into a couple months. Finally, Steve's death comes along and Ronnie is heartbroken.

 
At his funeral she stands up to make a speech but declares that none of the speeches she wrote would ever be able to show how wonderful her father is. Instead, she finishes up the piece of music her father had been writing but never finished during his life.
 
After the funeral while Ronnie is talking to the attendants, she runs into Will. The two have a conversation and end up patching everything up. At the end of the movie Ronnie tells Will that she will be attending Juilliard for the second semester. Will surprises Ronnie by revealing that he will be transferring to Columbia the second semester also.
***************************************************************************

 Well that was the story mainly about. Kinda similar to "A Walk to Remember" in certain ways yet still the story is nice!! 2 THUMBS UP!! XD 

Kinda liked the way the couples came together as the story unfolded little by little though the reactions of both Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth was kinda off abit at times. Nice story and certainly a must watch movie! 

Those thinking of a movie to watch, go look for this movie and watch it!!

Just The Way You Are~

My gf went back home today after staying together for almost 15 days plus plus. Though it seemed as if I was getting used to the feeling of her going back already, it still seemed weird.

And worst still, I was sitting at Silva near ma house and eating when this girl walks up and sits infront of me her back facing to me. I stone-ned awhile as she looked exact same size as my baby and not only that piercing same place and same style!!

Though I knew it wasn't her as this girl took out her dunhill and started puffing and also she didn't have the "aura" of coz! The when she turned around she looked damn freaking similar to my gf and made me miss her......

BABY if u are reading this, "I MISS YOU BABY!!! LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!!"
 

Expendables~!

Today managed to catch The Expendables just before my baby darling went back to ipoh. We were kinda looking forward to watch this movie hence we "kan cheong" giler wanted to watch before she went back and was kinda shocked that TGV Sunway was kinda empty when we went this afternoon.

  

Overall though the storyline was abit weird, and also with all the wrestling like slams, it was quite good. Though it was kinda the "Rocky" feeling to the movie, nevertheless it was still good though not awesome! XD

  
  
 
 
 
 
 

Was looking for more action pics but couldn't really find those that really looked nice. The few mins cameo from Arnold was kinda awkward and hilarious at the same time. The sarcasm that was around was awesome though! 

It was a great idea to get all the heavyweights to be in 1 movie and would say that it kinda pay off though not all great time. 

The part that really impressed me was Stallone's body!
 

After all these years!! He still has it!! I was really admiring this particularly thing cz most of the stars with kinda good figure always lose by either gaining weight or having all sagged till so freaking disgusting.

I know it seems as if I am such a movie freak that I watch so many movies right? Well I rarely have this kinda moments and only when my baby is around and this time she was around and so ngam there were quite a number of new movies too... 

After this I am not sure when I'd see my baby again so till then might be having a movie drought season.... Hehehe...

Dear readers please dun run away yea... Would find some time to go and watch some movie if can.... 

There is 1 more coverage to be made of movie that we guys watched to come soon!! Stay tuned guys!!

Salt~

With all the movie reviews that I am posting out at the moment seems like I am in such a movie marathon or this blog was meant for Movie Reviews. LOL.

Well It's just that recently I have been watching quite alot of movies and this is a rare occasion that I get to do so. Most the time I miss out the movies that I crazily madly wanna watch and some of them I am still yet to watch. FML.

Anyways coming back to the topic, me and my gf were like so hyper wanted to watch "SALT" as everyone was kinda telling the movie was nice and blah blah. Though personally I always thought and felt that Angelina Jolie is no big deal is totally overrated, I was kinda looking forward to watch the movie. Hence we bought the tickets and walked in feeling excited.

 

We were kinda kena " potong stim" already when we walked in as the cashier guy gave us seats differently from our request and that kinda blew our mood. But still watching all the trailers and all come and go, I was anticipating an explosive opening to the movie. Instead.....

 
I don't know if it was my fault to have too much expectation for this movie but I was utterly disappointed as the make up on Angelina was so heavy she looked like a old hooker! *smack head*

 
 
 



The 1st half of the movie was mostly running and that was enough to make me sleepy and most irritating was that expecting this to be an interesting movie ended up more to a normal predictable standard US Agent movie as well as normal Angelina movie. 

I totally felt so frustrated that I just told myself that I would only watch any other Angelina movie after getting a thorough research been done. I eventually was falling asleep from time to time while the entire movie was going on!! Especially the action scenes!! FML gao gao!!


Therefore, I vote this as the most "overated" movie of the year.

Stomp The Yard :- Homecoming

The other day went to the dvd shop to look for some new movie and that's when I came across this Stomp the Yard 2 :- Homecoming. Since the 1st 1 was so awesome, Me and my gf hoping that it would be good bought the DVD

 

As I love dance movies so much had really quite an expectation for this movie. But then... It was a total let down and eventually felt like wanna break the dvd just after watching the 1st 20 mins!!

 
Acted by this guy, I don't know what the fuck he was trying to do as he seemed to be trying to dance all the time however can't eventually make out what he was trying to do. Since normally dance movie's main character is like damn freaking good dancer, this 1 was very upsetting as his solos was horrible! It was like how it is when you got to all the Clubs in M'sia like MOS or Coco Banana watching those wanabees dance. 

 
 
 

And finally here comes the villain....
 

The most boring villain ever. I was like wth the whole time I was watching this movie. No cool moves, no hot chicks that can dance, no story line, and fucked up actors and actresses. FML

 

This 2 were the only ok ones in the movie with their actings and also dance. 

Overall this movie seems like it was just created just for the sake of having a homecoming version of this movie. Waste of time and money. Would say suckiest movie so far...

Soon to come is another movie which was overated so much that I felt like sleeping while watching it. LOL!!
