My Sweet Coraline..

Recently, i picked up this novella that has been lying around in my closet for too long now ( since 2002) and decided to continue where i left out..

only to discover that this year, they actually released a stop motion animation about it..
was rather happy to discover that.. for i actually did enjoy the novella (or rather, still reading it.. almost completed though)
and that it also have a game after it (might plan to get!! Lol)

what is this novella i'm talking about?

well..

it's a Fantasy/Horror novella titled

"Coraline"

and yes, it's author by Neil Gaiman, hence thats what interested me to get this novella, it's fantasy and horror.. not pure horror, but horror that has an element of imagination required into imaging it!
Although i feel that i'm a little too old to be reading this (i bought it in 2002.. that was 7 years ago) i feel that it shouldn't be shun away by people of all ages, sure it might not be scary, and the movie is an stop motion animation that might not scare your pants off, but.. it's worth a watch for the claymation..(though the movie might be more suited for the younger gen. By what the heck eh?)

so what's the story all about?

here's a short synopsis

In Coraline's family new falt there's a locked door. On the other side is a brick wall - until Coraline unlocks the door... and finds a passage to another flat in another house just like hers...

Only different.

The food is better there. Books have pictures that writhe and crawl and shimmer. And there's another mother and father there who wants Coraline to be their little girl. They want to change her and keep her with them...... forever...

The movie follows the main plot of the novella, with a few new characters and story yea.. like the garden scene or the russian ringmaster scene..
then again.. we didn't expect Coraline to look that cute anyways.. haha..

Though the movie is out in the states, it's not gonna be here until april.. such a long way i must say..
but hey.. a good show is worth the wait eh?

Did i mention that i won't mind getting a figurine of her? i didn't did i? hahah

In my opinion, nothing is better then seeing your favorite novel or comic come to play in a movie or an animation..
beats having to imagine what they look like, what the scenario is currently like, or what they are going through..but i guess that's the whole reason of a novel.. to imagine.. hah

i suggest picking up the novella if you're lacking of something to read, it ain't that bad, not too scary if you're worried..
problem is.. i couldn't find it here that time.. kinda got mine at KL.. so i'm guessing it'll be quite rare to actually obtain a first hand down here.. you can try.. or you can try contacting me.. i have some.. "ahem" materials.. if required..

or you could wait for the movie!
either way. don't miss out yea.


Here are some screenies from the movies!!

Till then, if you're interested to watch the movie!!
call me along! i'll gladly tag along and try to ruin the story for you!! cheers then!!

Valentine Day!!

Guess what i was doing on valentine's day!?!? :P

i was on WoW, trying my best to complete them valentine's quests..
i have to get intimate with the locals of undercity..

and boy was it not a good sight.. or scent to begin with..



Well, at least i was rewarded with that nice red dress..
chocolates and rose petals..

but nevertheless..i didn't get the ultimate prize..

the title of.. "Love's Fool"
which i think we can all relate to!.. hah

talk about a nerdy valentine..
if only we have our partners to play with..that'll be cool..then again..
wonder what next year will bring!

but till then
you should play WoW! :P

As the day approaches..

Myeh, valentine day is around the corner again... and guess i'll be spending it alone again.. or perhaps with a buddy..
things never go my way anyways.. so don't ask me why i don't bother asking "them" out.. or such.. no point, as most of them will probably reject me..

phfff.. why does valentine's day even exist! if they want.. everyday can be a valentine's day! better yet.. every day can be your own birthday! or christmas.. well.. to each their own..

i won't want to say valentine's day is all that bad.. i'm sure there are guys(or girls) out there enjoying themselves.. with people spoiling them with presents, wishes and what nots..

i'm just saying.. well.. i'm probably not one of them!.. haha
so to those who are that lucky.. or fortunate.. be glad, and treasure those who appreciate you..

to those who are left unappreciated..
well.. unless you're like someone like me..
someone's appreciating you..
they're just shy to admit it.. :P

just know.. they're out there.. someone..





well.. unless you're someone like me.. :D

New Day, New Life, New Cop.

Tomorrow's a new day at work..

i hope it's gonna be a-ok..

the job scope seems.. shady.. weird.. you name it, you got it..

but.. i guess i'm stuck with it..

for 1 and 10 more months..

damn this service..

and why we don't get a say in it..

phfff!! i say.. phfff!!

Let's hope tomorrow would be a better day!.. ha
