Movies and cry babies

This Christmas, there was a lot of nice shows on Astro.  All the Disney animated cartoons and Fox Movies and all that.  

But if you cry when the beast died and Belle cried in 'Beauty and the Beast' or when you watched a crappy movie, ahem, 'But Always' starring Nicholas Tse and Gao Yuan Yuan and cried, or while watching 'Frozen' and see Anna always being ignored by Elsa and she felt sad and all that, then you know it's the hormones.  I swear it's definitely the pregnancy hormones.

I have teared so much watching movies these days that I think I am nuts.  The other day, I watched a very good movie online.  It's called, "A Tale of Samurai Cooking : A True Love Story" and I cried towards the end because it was too touching.  I highly recommend this movie to everyone.  The love story is almost like "Jodhaa Akbar".  You won't see a any kissing or hugging.  But you see a lot of hidden sparks flying between husband and wife.  No worries, I tried not to watch tragedy.  Instead I love happy endings.  

But I made a mistake with "But Always".  I thought the movie plot was moving on quite well and that it will have a happy ending.  How wrong was I.  But I didn't cry because it didn't end happily.  I cried when the couple have another breakup again (like umpteen times).  The movie was a tragedy.  And the love story was crappy.  Who on earth would waste time and let time drag on and just wait and wait and wait?  I mean people aged and time does not wait for anyone.  So, it's a lot of 'will they, won't they' kind of crap.  

But luckily I was watching with my little nephew.  And he saw me wiping my tears and asked me what happened constantly and then give me little hugs and the whole movie doesn't feel so sad.  I feel sad because I thought I was cheated of my time watching such a crap movie.  I mean, I really like the main actor and actress.  Don't get me wrong.  But the plot line was really....sigh....It has very bad reviews and I should have read the reviews first before watching.  My bad.

Lately, I am kinda into samurai movies.  Nope, not the 'hara-kiri' kinda gross story or those 'hamsap' stories.  But samurai stories that doesn't involves fighting but into morality.  I didn't know Japan has quite a few of these stories lately.  I am currently watching one called, "After the Flowers".  In the midst of it and it seems to be quite nice.

I like the scenery, the cinematography and watching the etiquette of the man and lady during those times.  

I am also into those ancient times kinda movie, be it Korean, Chinese or Japanese.  You know, like the Qing or Tang dynasty times for Chinese, or for Korean those Goryeo times or the Japanese, Edo times.  I just love the costumes and everything about it.

Except that I have a few bad misses with Korean ancient times kinda movie which show a lot of nudity and sex and now I have to skip it in case it's another porno.  And the Chinese ones so far are not romantic.  Instead lots of Kungfu and fighting and politics.  Only the Japanese samurai type is very enticing right now.  I like romance within the olden ages.  Like respect for women instead of treating women like a tool.

OK, some updates about pregnancy and me.  Last night, I woke up at 1.30am, 3.30am, 5.30am and finally 7.30am.  The 2 hour waking up to pee has broken my sleep and I am ever so sleepy now.  My colleague told me that once baby is here, it's even more because baby keep crying, sometimes for no reason.  We shall cross the bridge when we see it.

I wasn't feeling too well in the lower region.  Feels like baby has already parked her head at the cervix.  When I sleep, she tends to move a lot and that wakes me up quite a bit.  And her every stretches is a pain to me.  

And when an experienced nurse friend told me that I might deliver early from the looks of my tummy, I was getting nervous.  Gynae still on leave and my next check-up is in a week's time.  I should have my bi-weekly checkup but because gynae is away, my check-up became a 3 week checkup and I was worried for nothing.

Besides, I am merely 36 weeks.  I am not ready yet.  Not at all.  Another colleague who is 38 weeks already felt contractions.  And that gives me the nerves.  

I haven't even finalise the hospital bag packing because I want to pack only when I am 37 weeks.  Not earlier.  

So, watching movies to kill time is really a good idea.  Or else, I will be worrying for nothing.  As the dates are nearer, my feelings is getting more and more anxious and nervous.  And I have no idea what I am going into.  Calm down, please.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
