Little Manhattan

Yes, another random movie picked out by yours truly. Lately, i've been somewhat attracted to "lovey-dovey" movie storylines for a change after years of watching horror genres and surprisingly, i'm good at picking out nice love movies. Not too soapy, not too fairytale, just nice. Or maybe it just pure luck.

Little Manhattan is your typical puppy love story but only to be seen through the eyes and feelings of a 10 years old boy. I hate to brag but all you girls out there, if you wanna know what's going through the minds of guys who are in love with you, or at least being the first time in love, this movie explains everything. From the good ol' "girls have cooties" (not applicable to Asians i presume) thing to that little "butterflies" feeling in your tummy and then to the major breakup that literally shatters both hearts to bits and pieces. May i add that we, guys have feelings too you know when it comes to the major "I HATE YOU!!" part. This kid just shows it all. And i don't think this reflect only what kids go through when they're in love, it still happen to adults too you know but only if it's REALLYlove. It doesn't apply to the buaya-ness type of love...if you know what i mean. :P

Anyway, if you're just so happen to be in love, this should be a nice movie for you and your special someone to watch together with and have a good laugh at. If you've just broken up, probably not the best movie to watch but the ending would give you a little boost back to reality on how life should go on. Like c'mon, if a 10 years old can see that why can't you right? If you haven't been in love, this movie will definitely show how a person feel when they're in love despite being played from a 10 years old point of view. I don't think it should matter anyway because love will always be love. If your heart is there to love someone, that's the situation you'll face and this movie just shows it all. The stupidity, the awkwardness, the paranoia, etc. Well played by Josh Hutcherson as Gabe Burton in the movie who's now quite a hunk for the ladies and also by Charlie Ray as Rosemary Telesco, the girl that means the world to Gabe.

The jokes and sarcasm in this movie are such classics too by the way. Love this particular part;

Rosemary: "I'm going off to a camp for six weeks.."
Gabe: "Six weeks!?"
(She might as well have said she's dying...)

Sorry if i'm spoiling it but i just had to so that you guys can go get a copy. Haha. Another movie worth spending your money on. Oh, and if you love movies with a lot of New York sceneries / lifestyle just like i do, this is definitely one of those movies where it'll make you go "Ahh! I so wish I was there..".

Little Manhattan, a movie that'll just make you smile a lot. Two thumbs up for me! :)

APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 on your bank statement? YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.

[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud.  If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!). So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out tha...

Foreigner marrying a local Bruneian. A step by step guide.

Time to put this blog to good use again. Seeing that there's hardly any resources online for what one should do when they have decided to marry a local Bruneian, here's what I can tell you in a quick summary.  Brace yourself.  Especially when dealing with the immigration department officials and the paperwork requirement. Despite being married for two years now, whenever I have to make a trip to the immigration to renew Calla's visa, my mood instantly turns sour and I just rage mentally. The repetitive paperwork submissions and the waiting time is absolutely ridiculous and if you're unlucky, you'll be greeted with a " Nombor sudah habis " (Out of queuing numbers) just as you arrive at the immigration which pretty much means, screw you - try your luck again tomorrow! And I shit you not, in order to secure a queue number in the morning, one have to start queuing in line by 6 am at the very least while those working at the immigration department is prob...

"You have a lucky face" / "You are lucky" scam.

Image
Re-posting this from my status update on Facebook which I shared the other day on a rather unique encounter.  --  On my way to my car after work today (while doing my Pokestop runs) an Indian fella stopped me on my track and said "You're very lucky. You have 3 lines on your forehead I can see that is luck".   That obviously stopped me for a bit as he approached me and said "You wanna know how I know? I can tell people's fortune. You wanna know your fortune?" Curious me nodded yes while my brain let out a big sigh and told me "That's it, you're gonna fall for this somehow." This "fortune t eller" proceeds to make small talks about how I'm happy but I'm only 40% happy while scribbling on his notepad discreetly. He then crumpled up the paper and made me hold it in my first and said "What I wrote in there, you don't know right?" (cues my no shit, Sherlock! moment) Then he started asking me to pick a n...
