Mamma Mia! the Movie.

With promises of an almost all-stars cast comprising of Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth amogst others in addition to the very popular soundtracks from 70s’s /80’s ABBA, who can resist not giving a chance for this musical? (especially when given a chance to watch it for free by Nuffnang =p)
It seems to me that this is a movie where you either fold your arms and impatiently await the end of this mindless, ridiculous and totally incomprehensible musical to end OR you’d either sing along (not out loud of course) and go along with the silly but entertaining antics of the cast.
After all, where else would you see 3 grown women (Meryl Streep!) singing, jumping and basically behaving in a totally indecently ridiculous manner?
Despite the inane capering, the average vocals as well as a typical story arc, it does induce a certain glee and obtimistic aura, with the sensation of swinging your feet (well, at least for me since my feet can’t really touch the ground if i sit back) and humming along to those very familiar tunes you grew up with.
“You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen..”

 

 

Coupled with the breathtaking Greek scenery, this movie can indeed charm its way into you heart. Once you get over how totally absurd the plot and storyline is of course. So sit back, relax and just let its mind-numbing frivolousness of the musical sweep you off your feet. Bring your parents. LOL.
And no, I won’t spoil it for you by giving a synopsis here (although you can always Google). Go watch it. And learn that age is not a factor when it comes to having fun.

Oh, and one other thing. I think Mr.James Bond should stick to looking-suave-in-a-tux and handling some high-tech weapon or something. NO singing. Please.

Warning: This is a PG-13 movie. Quite a few sexual implications with notable “dot dot dots…”. Fun though.

ok. i figured that i had better update before SOME people come after me with parangs or what nots if i don’t post this up soon. haihz.

Went for the Nuffnang Sharing Session by Italiannies with Ringo & Cindy last Sunday night. I was a little surprised at being picked seeing as only 20 bloggers were invited. I wanna say a HUGE THANK YOU to whoever picked me!! :D (nah.. don’t say i nvr appreciate wtf.)
Most people were of course fashionably late.. or even if they’re not very fashionable, simply following malaysian timing. and before you give me the look, i was on time for once in my life ok! haha

welcome speech from The Boss.
(woohoo! sound like mafia wtf)


Absolutely delish food from Italiannies~

I would totally recommend the Chicken Itallianies which is obviously a chicken dish wtf. Wonderful blend of herbs and aroma. It doesn’t look like chicken, but it sure tasted good! =D

And for those with a sweet tooth, the tiramisu is absolutely heavenly and Kate’s cake (im-not-sure-what-it’s-called) is definitely a must try.

Conversation was great as i had The Boss (okay, i have no idea why i’m liking the word so much.. maybe cz it sounds so macho wtf) himself across me - which is good as he’s an great conversationalist, thus avoiding those awkward I-stare-at-you, you-stare-at-me-and we have-nothing-to-say moments. I think the poor guy talked more than he ate though. Oh well, diet right? lol.
After dinner, when we people started getting restless and moving around to (what else?) camwhore, we were reminded of our purpose in this gathering - which is to hear about Cindy and Ringo’s experience.

yeap. thats them MDG girls.

talking about the good, the bad and the ugly..

Thanks to Nuffnang as well as Hong Leong Online, i got invites to a 8-course dinner at JW Marriott as well as to a preview of Made of Honour.

Meaning I actually won this!
Whoooooo~ Check out my name here.
Ngam ngam make it… lol.. thanks Robb!!

and of course…

Thanks Ren!!!!! you’re the awesomest PD ever! haha…

Hmm.. i bet someone is now regretting ditching me huh? blehhhh
Invited Teck Weng because he lives nearby and because he already knows what this is all about. I lazy explain about it to another non-nuffnanger la ==’ Was annoyed at having to repeat myself so often. i mean geez! what’s so hard to understand about free food and free movie preview?

Anyways, typical Malaysian timing, we arrived late despite being told to be there by 6pm. Since this is MY blog, we shall not talk about how late i woke up and how unprepared i was k? Lol. Hmm.. i think i LEFT my house at 6.05pm.. but before you give me ‘the look’ its not my fault!! How i know that some vain fella wanna go cut hair right before the dinner la?

Oh yeah, wanna thank Sam for driving us there :)

When we entered the ballroom foyer, ths manager-ish looking guy approached us. I thought he was going to just greet us or something. Mana tahu right, he asked if me and weng were gonna get married soon as the hotel is offering some special packages for the occasion.

Shocked, we obviously said no la right?

waliao.. 19 years old only le.. what is this world coming to?? wtf
damn. do i look that old to you kah??!!

Then instead of leaving us like we expected him to, he some more give us business card and said
“If you’re getting married in the future, please contact us”
omg. got guts to say that to me some more..
wtf??!!
Okay seriously. I was damn speechless. Zha dou-ed..

display setting

Teck Weng, Kate, Sherry, Timothy Tiah, Ren
gawd.. i look damn chubby ler!! -_____-
u can see the light reflecting on my cheeks. wtf.

Stage/Ceiling area:-
love the overall ethereal effect

Table 28
Had Kate and Hikaru, Nadia and Thomas, Amy and her partner and 2 very sweet ladies whom i can’t remember their names (I’m sorry!!! if you see this leave me a comment k?) on our table. Didn’t manage to talk much, but it was awesome meeting you guys!

Teck Weng & Sherry

…he look damn innocent right?
DO NOT BE DECEIVED!!! lol

Some champagne. Forgot what name d..
awesome drink! i had like 6-7 glasses if im not mistaken. lol

The whisky they serve was quite nice too.
(yeah, i tried it when you weren’t looking.. lol)
Just that i’m not a big fan of whisky :)

Bagpipers
apparently the movie theme has something to do with Scotland. It wasn’t bad actually, because i once heard this amateur dude playing the bagpipes and it was awful! these people sounded like they practiced alot. I was enjoying their grand entrance when i turned and saw my useless punya partner laughing.
When i ask why, he said
…”skirts”…
Okay, seeing as i mentioned ‘8-course’ earlier you should know how many dishes are there. However, its now 1.30am almost 3am and i’m too lazy to post all.

Food generally wasn’t bad but Stephy was right - it was not quite Marriott standard. But hey, free food. Who am i to complain?

Oh yeah. wanna complain about one dish though. The yellow-mashed-potato-ish thing. It tasted like plastic! eugh! How to eat like that ==’ Everyone at the table apparently didn’t bother/couldn’t take a second bite. Except him. Geez~ i swear he’s not human lor! Anything also can eat wan..

this couple danced their way up to the 1st prize…

…inclusive of a one-night stay in JW Marriott. Hmm.. I wonder what they’re gonna do… anyways, the girl dance damn chun lor. she got nothing to shake also can look like she got alot to shake. the boy however is just……… feminine?

Haagen Daz (corn flavour) on Brownies with some sort of fruits

(forgot the fancy name for this)

My opinion?
It would have been better with chocolate ice-cream… xD

CopyKate and SherryMint
Uncle Josh said we had the same expression. hmmm..

my darling stephy looks awesome here… i love her smile!!!
*sigh* me and my cacat teeth =P

Simon trying to be a pimp..

But of course, the real PD is still Ren!
After dinner, we walked across to GSC Pavillion for our movie preview.
Had like a team of policemen escorting us along with the bagpipers leading the way. Walking in our formal dresses and heels and suits, we were like some sort of parade. Haha.. all those random people were practically staring at this strange parade.

Damn! i felt so important ><

This being my first time in GSC Pavillion, i was actually quite surprised to note that the chairs were rather comfy. But the one in 1U is better. hehe.
As for the movie, i was initially expecting some sort of soppy romance movie that i’ll probably cry in the end. However, it wasn’t at all soppy and it’s definitely funny at some parts. Sort of like ‘What happens in Vegas’.
After the preview, ended up with Stephy and us being girls, naturally we camwhored.

Thanks to Simon for being our photographer and TWeng for carrying my bag! lol
After leaving Stephy and Simon, we walked around a little seeing as how rare i actually go KL at night after 12. Ended up chilling back at the hotel lobby while waiting for TWeng’s friend to pick us up.
Thanks Calvyn for sending us home!

Went through my freebies a little in the car. Nothing much actually.
But then again, i had a great time. So once again,
Thanks Nuffnang!!
if got more of these events invite me k?!

*Psst*
I actually stayed up the whole night finishing my CCS assignment.
don’t have to tell me, I KNOW i’m amazing! =P
