August Rush

If you love music, YOU MUST watch this. If you play the guitar or if you're inspired by guitars, YOU MUST watch this. If you play in an orchestra, YOU MUST watch this. If you think Freddie Highmore is adorable, YOU MUST watch this. Haha. Ok, that sounded weird but i think that kid is adorable in so many ways. He's got the whole angelic / innocent face like how Haley Joel Osment used to have when he was a kid. (Note: USED TO!) I just think he looks weird now. Anyway, back to what i was i was saying about this movie, if you really do appreciate music, August Rush will just simply inspire you to appreciate it even more. I really suggest all musicians to just find yourself a copy of this DVD and watch it when you feel bored of your instruments.

I also don't know how i ended up buying this movie. I was just browsing around the "Orange Shop" in Seri Q-lap Mall (they have a branch in KB too by the way!) looking for some movie that might give me the same 'feeling' when i watched Little Manhattan and The Ultimate Gift and i came across this DVD. I think there's just something about the quote in the front cover of the DVD that really caught my attention and surprise surprise, August Rush did deliver that 'feeling'. Initially i thought it was going to be a musical movie like Sweeny Todd or Hairspray but no, this is not a musical movie. It's just about how a young boy named Evan Taylor / August Rush (Freddie Highmore's character) listened to the music around him and went on a quest to find his parents whom he got seperated from 11 years ago. As the journey went on, he soon realized that there's a musical genius inside of him.

"I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. Open your heart and listen. You'll believe it too!" - August Rush

Chim hor the quote? :P

So if you're totally clueless on what DVD you should invest in, this will definitely lighten up your mood for the day after you're done with it. By the way, there's this actor name Jonathan Rhys Meyers in this movie that reminded me of Will Young for some reason. Okay, just thought i'd point that out. Haha. August Rush, 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
