finally, justice has been served for Kuching's largest shopping mall.
I mean.. how ridiculous is it for a shopping mall in Malaysia without a cinema? let alone being one of the largest malls in town. I was checking out the latest movie releases from www.cinema.com.my and then happened to stumble on the news that MBO Cinemas is going to open an 8-hall cineplex in The Spring, Kuching's largest lifestyle mall in May.
The only MBO Cinemas that I've ever been to was in Melaka Mall opposite Jusco at Bukit Beruang in Melaka. Guess StarCineplex is going to have a hell of a fight with this one considering that they've been in the safe spot for almost a decade now without any reputable rivalry. I'll definitely still be in Kuching to check out the new cineplex when it opens during May later.

I downloaded the movie Changeling a month ago, few weeks ago I watched it, and now then I'm writing a review on it. Talking about being way off schedule.
I'm really touched by Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Christine Collins, a distressed single mother who has no one to turn to when the police force turned their backs against her by plotting a cover-up on the founding of her child, and stubbornly refused to admit that they found the wrong child. At a period when the police force was corrupted and when the people no longer had trust in justice, Christine Collins' had no one to turn to but a pastor from a weekly radio broadcast to find justice.
Jolie's bold portrayal in this movie is provoking and really different from her previous roles she played normally with guns and a sexy stare to die for, like in the assassin movie Wanted or Tomb Raider. This time, her fragile role of expressed emotions mostly with bitter tears of desperation of a defeated mother has landed her with a another nomination as lead actress at the Oscars this year. Although she did not win, her versatility and range in her acting skills has done her far more than mere recognition and appraisal.
If it's award-winning roles, inspiring dialogues, expressive tears, passionate emotions and bold acting skills with values that you're looking for in a movie. Changeling is definitely the movie to watch.

I lost my Hammy.
On Monday night, my housemate in Melaka who was looking after her for me there said Hammy was lost and he couldn't find her anywhere. I didn't know how to react when I heard the news and for that I'm feeling somewhat guilty. Having being the owner, I haven't seen Hammy for almost 4 months ever since I left her at Melaka and now I may never get to see her again.
Apparently what happened was, Hammy always disliked being caged in. Since I would normally had her cage on top of my shelf, I would leave the cage door open so she would be free to roam out of the cage around the vicinity on the top of the shelf, just so that she wouldn't feel stressed out being caged in. Whenever I forgot to open the cage door, she would normally chew on the cage and signal me.
Before flying back to Kuching for my internship, I had planned to sneak Hammy through but then the risk (and the penalty fine) was too much if she was caught because I couldn't bring her on board and I couldn't bring her back to Melaka either. I did tried to call AirAsia to ask whether animals were allowed on board even if I got a health permit from the vet and they just responded that animals or pets are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. I had no choice but to leave Hammy in Melaka knowing what was at stake.
After I left for Kuching, my housemate was keeping an eye on her with the cage in the living room. When I called my housemate to check on her, he said she was always chewing on the cage bars, so I told her to let her out of the cage to roam and make sure every possible exit route was sealed. So my housemate did just that for quite some time and according to my housemate, she would normally end up at the same spot waiting for him to bring her up into her cage. It was usually safe since the living room of our rented house is practically empty with nothing.
But on that monday, she never came back.
I asked my housemate to search the fridge and the washing machine, probably she got curious and crawled into the holes and got stuck inside. According to him, the main entrance door was sealed shut and every possible hole was too small for Hammy to go through. I've asked him to set small traps by scattering sunflower seeds at corners and leave the cage on the floor of the living room with the door open and wait for her to return back. I really don't know wad to do right now. The last time I saw Hammy was through a webcam my housemate video called on msn. I can't help but feel so damn fucking helpless and the fact that I'm opposite across the South China Sea isn't really helping at all in any bit.
I hope she comes back safe and sound. I really miss her.
Sigh...
