Happy Birthday Bunda!

Mother's Cook BBQ Burger & The Works.

my midnight comfort food has taken on a more dangerous level.

ahahah again, looks nasty but tastes awesome especially given the current circumstances.
sorry it ended up you giving me a treat instead, but i'll make it up to you Bun:D

Geng Deal 3

salmon crispy (salmon, crunch, cream cheese) and one of the shitty ones.

Giri invited me to one of his 'Geng Deal' 'gathering' with Pay, Galih, Rale, and Nanda.
Deal = some internet promo where we can get discount coupons for all sorts of food.
For this promo, we got an all-you-can eat for fusion rolls at Poke Sushi for Rp. 99.000,-.

Sounds familiar?
Iya Yu, Lit, ini yang sama persis kaya yang waktu Poke di Crown Plaza.ahahahhaha

His timing couldn't be better though: I was seriously craving for some sushi so much I ignored my last terrifying encounter.
We went there for dinner after work and still had about 2 hours.
First off we ordered rationally: one dish of each type to sort out the shitty ones.
Then when the good ones were sorted out, with the threat of time...things got ugly.

We 'panicked' even before we each checked out our watches (we only had 30 mins down), then everybody started to order everything without re-checking with the others.
With 45 mins left we had 3 crunchy salmon, 2 spicy crunchy salmon, 1 unagi thing, and 2 shitty things someone thought to try at such an inconvenient hour.

Oh yeah, we finished them all, bellies all firm and perfectly round with bits of barf-threats, (this time I didn't) no worries. A couple of bathroom trips helped a bit.
But this just reminds us that,
1. you still can't take it for granted that just because there are more players and just because they're all guys doesn't mean that they can vacuum everything all the time. and
2. to always always order wisely. do not let your eyes do the thinking.

hahahahha
But all in all we had a good time :]

new dvd stash

sudden urge to watch a light chickflick last night. first one after a long time.
wasn't as i expected (both in a good and bad way).

finally tried out the series. couldn't stop watching until the second CD (there's 4). wanted to go on but i started having a headache from watching non-stop.ahahaha

hope the next 3 seasons will be as good (or better!) as this one~

**just realized that Rose Byrne is in both movies. was interesting to watch her in very different types of movies

the thin line of becoming a hypocrite

enough of this nonsense, don't even think of touching other people's property.

when 'jepang = tegar' isn't in a comedy context.

-random car talk-
"...iya, kalo gua suka film-film jepang karena kalo mereka tuh endingnya biasanya suka ngasih hope gitu. kaya mereka tuh pengen bener-bener nunjukkin kalo with hard work and never giving up, lo baru bisa berhasil!''



hahaha bangsat, diem lo *tertohok*.

The Raid

*sorry in advanced for those who end up here when browsing for the movie "The Raid", as i have and others have on other various sites~

hmm...ok i'm actually lost for words.
just got back an hour ago from watching "The Raid" that's been buzzing around lately since it's premiere last 23 March. said it won a lot of awards at first screenings last year at international film festivals. most gave raving reviews, but some said that it's over-rated.
the plot's really simple: a raid on a criminal-infested building by elite forces fighting their way all the way to the top to take out the main villain.

Mad Dog (left).

the guy doesn't look much (Indonesians would say he looks like a regular 'mas-mas'), but when he's in action...

so my two cents would be that in terms of action, it was insane.

fighting choreography was so raw and crazy and at some points i found them, um, 'beautiful'. the martial arts style used is pencak silat, from Indonesia (serious upgrade for pencak silat, a style that hasn't been popular in a while here)

the guy who played Mad Dog was the highlight.
final fight scene was beyond cool--thanks to Mad Dog's 'cockroach' berserker-mode--though i kinda prefer the last two scenes before: the chemical room one where they gave the seemingly 'extra' character some lime light and was actually a pretty good fighter.good short scene on his part. the second was the 'door stabbing' scene (it makes more sense in context). oh, and one of the first fight scenes where he used a machete-tonfa combo! yes, i'm a sucker for double-wielding weapons.

my only complaint is that Indonesian dialogue is too...irreparable.
too cheesy it hurts at some points, because the Indonesian language is only good for any movie needing formal languages like poetic literature, old war and kingdom(?) movies.
that and the constant macho action-noise (the 'hu-HAH!' and all) that sometimes gets annoying, but other then that it was good (no matter what comments the audiences kept throwing constantly, on every fight scene everyone was silent).
also, from what my friend pointed out: the supposedly climax of the movie wasn't too good, kinda wasting the whole part before.

all in all i haven't watched an action movie with non-stop all-out no-holding back raw action and want to watch it more then once in a short period of time since Chocolate (Thai).
this movie is totally for those who want all that. i'm very happy for this movie to be my first movie in 2012.hahaha

this is how i spent my morning oh dear crap

yeah yeah, this is actually very basic, what can i say? i take extremely long baby steps.
but for anyone who knows me, this, is a huge improvement.ahahaha
