Shrek Forever After and Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time

Two days ago i watched two movie respectively, Shrek Forever After and Prince of Persia,The Sand of Time.

Shrek Forever After


Shrek Forever After is another sequel after Shrek 1,2 and 3. Still tells about the same ogre but different problem. The story begins with the tale of Princess Fiona. A princess who is cursed and locked up in the tower guarded by dragon. The King and Queen of Far Far Away, which are Fiona's parents, ask someone for help. And that someone is Rumpelstiltskin. He wants to make deal with The King, but in a wicked-tricky way. He wants the kingdom.

Just a moment before The King signs the agreement, there come an information that Princess Fiona has already been saved. So the deal isn't made, and Rumpelstiltskin get mad and have a grudge to Shrek who saves Fiona.

Then the plot goes to Shrek's life. He already has 3 babies with Fiona. He seems happy at first, but lately the routinity makes him bored. He misses his previous life, free, feared by human, and careless. One day, he get very angry at his kid's birthday party. He argues Fiona then meet Rumpelstiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin knows that he has a chance to avenging his grudge, and offering Shrek a vicious deal.

Will Shrek make deal with Rumpelstiltskin? And how is the rest of the story? Just watch it yourself. I'm spoilering too much :D
Overall, i think this movie is darker and more mature than the predecessors. I laugh less, too. Doesn't mean this movie ain't funny. Still, it has its appeal too, yet i love Shrek 1 more ^_^


Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time


Prince of Persia is a videogame-based movie. It made by the team who brought the Pirates of Carribean trilogy to cinema. My first question about this movie is, why Jake Gyllenhaal? Well, i appreciate his effort to build his body for this film, but isn't there any other Persian actor or at least an actor with Persian's face?

Ok, so here is little plot spoiler. Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is an orphan who was adopted by King Sharaman, The King of Persia. Prince Dastan helps his brother, Prince Tus and Prince Garvis to conquer Alamut, an empire that been suspected to ally against Persia. Prince Dastan acquired a mysterious dagger during the siege. An dagger contains Sand of Time that kept by Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton).

During the celebration of the conquer, Dastan wrongfully accused of poisoning King Sharaman. Then he is forced into exile, accompanied with Tamina. These both two seems can't get along at first. Along with the journey to save the dagger they can get along well.

This movie is kinda interesting though i can't capture the Persian exotism here. My favorite scene is rooftop running, jumping, climbing thing.. :D
Sorry to say but until the end i still think that Prince Dastan should not be played by Gyllenhaal. And i didnt see strong chemistry between him and Arterton in the movie, compared with Will-Elizabeth Turner in Pirates of Carribean.
Just my opinion after all ^_^

Obliviate

Obliviate (oh-BLI-vee-ate) is one of spell at Harry Potter book. It used to modify or erase portions of someone's memory. I remember when Gilderoy Lockhart used this spell to Ron and Harry, but it backfired on to himself instead.

I guess i've been Obliviate-spelled. I kind of lost some memories, and dunno who cast me this spell. I admit that I have a problem with reminding something, but it get worse lately. Aaaarrrrggghhhhh!!! >.<

These are some list of things i forget (as i remembered) today :
1. My CDMA phone
I thought i lost it since a year ago, but yesterday nite i found it in my laptop case box. How come the phone get into the box? I really dont know (or even remember) about it.

2. My yellow mug
I just realized at noon that it wasn't placed on my desk as it used to be. Then i try to remember where the mug was. Then, taddaaaa...i found it in tea room. Omg, i put it there yesterday, and i forgot to bring it back.

3. My bank account number
I went to the ATM twice, because i forget my bank account number. Haven't wrote it yet on any note, too ~_~"

I'm not proud of it. Being a forgetful person is so tiring, and i try to find a way to overcome it. Hope i could diminish it T_T
Bon courage!!!

Sunset and Rain

Just share some pics in my photo album, these two taken on my vacation to Karimun Jawa ^_^

Will You Be My Shoulder When I'm Grey And Older?

These nostalgic songs, remind me of the hustle bustle moment during finishing my bachelor thesis. I myself always love James Blunt's songs, though his voice ain't smooth and the songs are mostly dark and gloomy.

"High"

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

"Wise Men"

She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine 'til seven,
All the shit that they could find,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

Really sorry now,
They weren't to know.
They got caught up in your talent show,
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they couldn't escape from you,
Couldn't be free of you,
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun.

Look who's alone now,
It's not me. It's not me.
Those three Wise Men,
They've got a semi by the sea.
Got to ask yourself the question,
Where are you now?

P.S: love the bold one ^_^

Does Love Hurt?

Suddenly....just suddenly, because i have nothing to do at work, then found these pics randomly.



Of all pains, the greatest pain,
Is to love, and to love in vain.
~George Granville~

Why is it that we don't always recognize the moment love begins, but we always recognize the moment it ends?

I don't miss you and you alone, but I miss you and me together.

I woke up this morning normally at 6.45, then ironing my clothes and then took a bath. While i was taking a bath, suddenly this kind of random thought came into my mind. It was "Carpe Diem".

CARPE DIEM

Meaning

Usually translated from the Latin as 'seize the day', or sometimes as 'enjoy the day, pluck the day when it is ripe'.

Origin

The origin source for the Latin phrase is Horace - in Odes Book I:

Dum loquimur, fugerit invida
Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero

which translates as:

While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: seize the day, put no trust in the future

Then i remember bout an old email which was sent by an old friend. A Turk who studies master degree in Germany. We met in social networking site. He's fond of Latin and photography. And he used to teach me some phrases in Turkish. Unfortunately, i lost contact. Last thing i know bout him is he was in the middle of sea something due to his study.

Anyway, thanks to you Mithi, who teaches me those word and particularly the "Carpe Diem" term.

Road to Bali Lombok (1)

What will you do if u're a worker who works more than 60 hrs/week and u have a full-week-end-of-year holiday? Spend good time on the hoooooliday of course :D
That is exactly what i was doing at the end of 2009 holiday. I've prepared to go to Bali and Lombok since 2 months before.

At Thursday night, I and Elly went to Stasiun Jatinegara to took the train to Surabaya. We had same holiday destination, but a bit different itinerary and travel companion. I'm with Indri, and she's with Mba Luk. I met with Indri at Bungurasih then continued to Bali by bus. Indri was work and lived in Bali, so she could ask her friend to lend room and motorcycles which was very very useful for us both *thanks Yuan ^_^*

Okay, after heating my arse up for about 27 hrs (on train,bus,ferry,and taxi) we finally arrived at Kuta,Bali at Friday midnite. Then we successfully felt asleep easy in Yuan's room :D
The day after, drizzled washed Bali, made us feel lazy to went out. But finally, after it stopped we went out with Deni, Arif and Eriek (Indri's old friend from her previous office).


We made our first stop at Uluwatu temple.


This place has a great view (when i say great, i mean it). The temple, the cliff, the waves, just name it. They are all combined to make a spectacular place to see. Just beware of monkeys, some are quite aggressive.

Then we continued to Blue Point Beach and Padang-Padang Beach. Those two beaches are wonderful. Blue Point has picturesque view from above. This beach is also well-known for surfer because of its waves.


Padang-Padang located not far from Blue Point. This is the beach where Julia Robert took a scene for the making of Eat,Pray, Love movie.


Next beach is Dreamland. Crowded yet still beautiful. White sand and clear water. I met a cute baby boy named Andrea. He's so friendly and playful. Even i could took a picture with him :D


At afternoon, we went to Kuta beach on foot. Enjoying the sunset while cucimata-ing :))
Can't do better to end that superb day.
