2011 Wrapped Up

Lemme see...when was my latest entry.

*cricket sounds*

November, 2010...(okay, make that August 2010 because I accidentally deleted November's entry) Can you believe it?! It's a year ago since I last wrote anything! And I even forget the password for my wordpress account. That makes me a bad, bad blogger. Shame on you Hairi! Shame. 

Life affects you in so many ways, and discouraging you to do something you like is just one way life works its wonder. It's not to be blamed though. I am just mere human, and I am always easily influenced. 

Yeah, I'm back. For how long? Till life gets to me again, I believe. 

It's now Dec 2011, reaching the end of the year and so many things had happened during this year alone. Some of them are not my brightest moments but they were easily erased from my life with those bright enough to light not only my life but those around me too.

So, here goes, events that wrapped up my 2011.

We're going to start with things that have nothing to do with my real life. TV shows, what else?


I've suffered Supernatural withdrawal and still am

yeah boys, you've got the expression right to the T
 Who would have believed this? That I, above all people, am getting bored with Supernatural, with Dean and Sam Winchester - the writers to be correct.

I honestly love the first five series of the show and I even anticipated season 6 as you can see here. Everything went well through Season 6, but as season 6 reached its finale, I couldn't help myself but say...what the heck is going on?

Still, I held on and waited for season 7. After 3 episodes, I couldn't urge myself to watch anymore. First, Castiel died. And then Sam and Dean had some trust issues (this has become a must every seasons) which led to Sam leaving Dean (for God knows how many times now) and now they are trying to kill my favorite character, Bobby Singer. Damn! What's wrong with you people in the production team? Bring back Kripke!

This falling out of love that I am having is seriously affecting my fanfiction writing. I have all the drafts done, but I couldn't find the heart to writing them nicely. I don't know, maybe this is temporary. Maybe somewhere, somehow, I'll find the love I've lost for these boys again...no, not the boys. I've only lost the love on its storyline. 


I'm falling in love with BBC Sherlock

I've never watched any Sherlock Holmes' movies before but I've certainly read a number of its stories and novels.To me, the image of Sherlock Holmes wearing the detective suit and smoking pipe is not that appealing, not even when Robert Downey Jr. played a kickass version of Sherlock and Jude Law is the honorable Dr. Watson.

But BBC recent hot new series, Sherlock, starred Benedict Cumberbatch (another underrated actor who deserves more) and Martin Freeman definitely caught my attention. Maintaining the stories, but with a little twist, Sherlock promises new insight to Arthur Conan Doyle's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Benedict Cumberbatch did a magnificent job as kickass, smart-mouthed dark Sherlock while Martin Freeman is equally amazing as his honestly naive sidekick.

However, 3 episodes a season? The production team have seriously got to be kidding me. Thankfully, the newest season will be back on January 1st. What a way to start my 2012. 


Ezra P. Standish and Magnificent Seven are my new obsession




This show premiered in Malaysia somewhere around 1998 to 1999 and I was just a teenager then. Yep! You can guess my age if you want to.

I remember loving this series to no end but I couldn't remember what happened to it when I got so busy with school. Somehow, after 12 years, I suddenly found the urge to check these guys out again. Then I found out the series didn't make it to season 3 due to low rating then. Oh shucks! They should have premiered now and they'd definitely get the rating they deserved. Cowboys just didn't work then, but it is now. Though I doubt these boys would want to ride again after 12 years.

Among these seven, my favorite is the ace-of-spade-good-for-nothing gambler cum conman Ezra P. Standish, portrayed by Anthony Starke. Quoting Ty Miller "He gives out aces of spades as calling cards and spends most nights at the poker tables. A con man, a gambler, a loner: perhaps. The word loyalty is as foreign as the pyramids, but friends have a way of growing on you." Ezra is being portrayed as a stubborn cuss who refused to have connections with people due to his hazardous career as a conman and the teachings of his not so loveable mom, Maude. Despite the facade, Ezra was a man worth to be friends with.

Taiping Eco-Trip 2D1N ~ From Kulim

Image
Sebenarnya Trip ke Taiping ni tak ada proper planning. Dialog kami laki bini lebih kurang macam ni:- H : Weekend ni jom kita pi Taiping? Z : What?! Kenapa tiba-tiba ja ni? H : Jom la. Rasa nak jalan-jalan. Z : Ok! Sempoi kan kami laki bini? Ok. Trip kami memakan masa 2 hari 1 malam saja bermula hari Jumaat sampai Sabtu. Kulim kan jajahan Kedah, semestinya kami cuti hujung minggu Jumaat dan Sabtu. So, ni itinerary perjalanan kami kalau ada yang nak buat rujukan. ( seriously, masa nak pi Taiping jenuh jugak kami laki bini google pasal Taiping ni, dah short trip nak la make the most of out it kan ) Day 1  9.00 pagi - Bertolak dari Kulim bertolak dari Kulim melalui tol Sg, Bakap menghala ke susur masuk Kamunting. Kami lalu ke Kamunting dulu sebab hajat di hati nak ke Zoo Taiping terlebih dahulu.  9.45 pagi Singgah breakfast di Hentian Bukit Merah. Hubby makan nasi lemak (sepinggan RM4.00), I makan bihun sup (semangkuk RM4). Taktau nak kata ha...

I don't ask much in a man.

Tips I found from chained mails invading my inbox (tell ya...if I kept getting something like this, I wouldn't mind getting a hundred chained mails a day, LOL) Five tips for a woman....... 1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job. 2. It is important that a man makes you laugh. 3. It is important to find a man you can count on! And doesn't lie to you. 4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you. And last but not least... 5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.... See, it takes five different men for a woman to acquire the perfect qualities of a man. No one's perfect, so does a man. If you want a perfect man, then have four men instead :-P Sometimes, we just asked too much. p/s: Mind ya', I'm not a pervert.

The Homemade Laksa Kedah with a Penang's Twist

Image
Hehe... kembali mengganas (I terdengar-dengar je suara sumbang cakap 'ganas la sangat') dengan resepi laksa Kedah dengan Penang's twist, tanpa perasa dan pewarna tiruan. Dijamin takde MSG. Alkisah, I teringin nak makan laksa. Tapi terus-terang cakap, kat Kulim ni memang susah nak cari laksa yang confirm sedap tanpa was-was. Selalu-selalu I akan beli kat sorang pakcik yang jual kat Nat (another term for Pasar Malam) kat Taman Selasih, Kulim. Tapi sebab I yang tak suka merayau malam-malam, takut tersampuk, I selalu missed pakcik ni sebab dia cuma akan berjualan lepas solat Asar. Kadang-kadang motor  ngan laksa dia je ada, pakciknya takde sebab dia gi Solat Asar. Alhamdulillah. Ada kawan recommend laksa kat Old Town White Coffee. Erk! I dah rasa, I tak suka. Sorry dears.  Anyway, sebab Nat tu ada malam Selasa ngan Jumaat je, tapi arini ari Sabtu, maka tak dapatla I nak makan laksa tu. So, sebab nak makan gak, I gi kedai Nya kat Taman Kempas, beli ikan kembung, d...
