If you ever ask me about my favorite movies; the answer is most definitely EVERYTHING TIM BURTON EVERYTHING JOHNNY DEPP! All the way since Edward Scissorhands, through Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I may be a biased fan to begin with but anyhow I think Alice in Wonderland is really terrific!  Watched it in 3D and I must say Hollywood’s 3D effect makers have far improved. Is it only me or can I say Alice in Wonderland’s 3D is much better than Avatar?

Aku mengelak ok! Masa piano tu jatuh nak timpa Alice..  Cam hampeh je! Nasib baik tak terbang semua popcorn! But hardly did I budge during any of Avatar’s freaky action scenes, including the part when a badak sumbu-looking dinosaur came charging.

The whole story is based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass but having read the books, I can see that Burton has made it strayed very far.

When Alice arrived to Wonderland, the creatures there were doubtful if she was the real Alice that once came visiting 13 years ago. Although Alice’s character is very strong and determined, she denied that she was indeed THAT Alice, because hello? She was supposed to slay a dragon?!!

Would you admit that you are Saiful when you know you would have to surrender your butt to the media? No right? But literally in Saiful’s case he did. He is more wacko than Alice. Nuff said.

Anyway back to the movie, I love (I always have) the character played by Johnny Depp; the Mad Hatter. Although once in a while I saw Captain Jack Sparrow there but never the less Depp is one terrific actor and most entertaining indeed.

(While I am typing this my legs are doing the Fudderwack dance under my desk)

The Red Queen played by Helena Bonham-Carter is another prominent character in the movie, very funny and wicked. Boy, that d.o.n.g.g.a head sure reminds me of mine. Ehehehhe!

She has this sibling’s rivalry thing with her sister, poor big headed thing. If I had known her personally, I’d tell her that although her head is a hot air balloon lookalike, at least she doesn’t have the case of the armpit like her sister, the White Queen.

Played by Anna Hathaway and although very funny, the White Queen’s character is a little disappointing. I wish her makeup had been a little more rosy than gothic and why is she walking like she has a huge bisul di kedua-dua belah ketiak?

Akan tetapi…. Aku pun dah start jalan dengan tangan macam ni sekarang! Lalalaaa lalalalaa!!

Alice in Wonderland is such a great movie, entertaining and fun. It is even a little bit scary for small kids but what the heck. If you can bring your kids to pasar malam, you can take them to see this movie. In fact, Sungei Wang is much scarier.

4 out of 5. Yeaaaa!!

A 25 months old toddler, Luth Mikael son of Diyanazman has terjun tiruk-ed into the drain. Ok, it was not really a longkang, it was a pool (ayat penyedap hati)

We took Miki to Putrajaya on Saturday night to practice cycling his cute little bear tricycle. After his mom and dad suffered aching backs from all the bending over, we sat down and let Miki roam free.

Miki started to join three little sisters over the grassy part of the place and everything was fine. Until the girls started to walk away when their Mom called and Miki decided now that the chicks were gone, why not go for a swim – IN THE DRAIN!

He was so selamba kodok ok… with the corner of his eyes still eyeing his three new friends, he walked towards the “pool” and splash!!

He was drenched all over, head to toe and I didn’t bring his diaper bag!!

The people around us screamed, I wanted to scream too but I was afraid the dome of the mosque might get cracked or worse – FALL DOWN so I let Azman ran after him.

Anak sapa niiiiiiiiiiiii?

Padan muka ko takde baju nak pakaiii…

Sighh… should have known Miki could never be left playing alone. Too much exploring desire he has inside and it is almost turning crazy. I knew he has always wanted to swim in there…

Grrr! Lesson learned. STRICTLY NO FISH PONDS AT THE NEW HOUSE.

Ayoyooooo Part 1:
We were hanging out at the living room when Miki climbed up the bookshelf and an Al-Quran from the top shelf came tumbling down. An AL-QURAN!
Both Azman and I took 1.5 seconds to turn completely green. His shirt torn to pieces from the suddenly bulging muscles leaving him a huge angry Incredible in his bermuda. My shirt was torn to pieces from the suddenly bulging muscles leaving me a huge angry lady Incredible in my Spongebob panties.
“MIKIIIII!!!!!” it was a symphony of the enraged parents.
“Aiyoooo…” the little boy pulled a remorse look on his face, “Miki nak baca buku…….”
Ok. Nak tergelak tak jadi marah but Aiyoyo, actually he was just playing tearing-down-the-house.

Ayoyoooooo Part 2:
Having dinner at Syiok Kopitiam near our house. From the moment we stepped in the restaurant Miki has been chanting “Miki nak ice-cream!” non-stop about a hundred times.
Do I look like a mother that gives her child dessert together with main course?
Yes, after Miki threw his head back, put one tiny chubby hand on his cheek and said
“AIYOOOOO.. kenapa takde ice-cream?” after he looked at the absence of his favorite dessert when the order arrived.
Aiyoyo.. bad mother me.

Ayoyooooo Part 3:
Azman bought a new box of tool kit and was checking it out on the floor, scrutinizing every detail of his new treasures. Miki came menyibuk-king.
Azman said “Tak boleh!”
Miki made a very sad face “Aiyooo Miki nak tengok…”
Azman kesian “Ok, nah tengok!”
Miki tak puas hati “Aiyooo, Miki nak pegang…”
Azman nak tergelak “Nah, pegang sikit je!”
Miki grabbed the whole kit and rannnn….
Aiyooo actually he just wanted to destroy it!

Aiyoooyooo…
