Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Once again we're plunged into the world of sword fights and "savvy" pirates. Captain Jack Sparrow is reminded he owes a debt to Davy Jones, Who captains the flying Dutch man ,a ghostly ship, with a crew from hell. Facing the "locker" Jack must find the heart of Davy Jones but to save himself he must get the help of quick-witted Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. If that's not complicated enough will and Elizabeth are sentenced to hang, unless will can get Lord Cutler Beckett Jack's compass, Will is forced to join another crazy adventure with Jack. Written by kate Archie

After preventing the capture of a certain Jack Sparrow (Depp), both Elizabeth Swan (Knightley) and her fiancée Will Turner (Bloom) are arrested and sentenced to death. But Cutler Beckett (Hollander) has other plans, and sends Turner out to retrieve Jack's compass. This isn't easy for Turner, as he must now help Sparrow track down the Dead Man's Chest, which contains the beating heart of Davy Jones (Nighy). Stabbing the heart, would not just destroy Jones but also set free Turner's father, Bootstrap Bill (Skarsgård). The mission becomes even more difficult for everyone when Elizabeth escapes and tracks down Sparrow. Written by Film_Fan

Captain Jack Sparrow's life is in debt to the legendary Davey Jones, Captain of the Flying Dutchmen who are supernatural warriors out for blood. Facing possible eternal damnation, Jack must save himself with help from Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who must come to Jack's aid. Written by mystic80

Once again thrown into the world of the supernatural, Captain Jack Sparrow finds out that he owes a blood debt to the legendary Davey Jones, Captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. With time running out, Jack must find a way out of his debt or else be doomed to eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife. And as if this weren't enough, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are arrested and sentenced to death unless Will can get Lord Beckett Jack's compass, who are forced to join Jack on yet another misadventure. Written by Kelli

Legend has it that a tortured soul called Davy Jones lives beneath the sea with a terrible sea beast at his command. Unfortunately for the notorious pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, this particular legend is very real. Years ago, Jack made a deal with Davy Jones, who is now expecting him to make good on his promise by handing himself over to Jones's servitude. But Jack will not give in without a fight, which is especially bad news for Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who always seem to get caught up in Jack's mishaps. If Jack can't find a way to rid himself of Davy Jones once and for all, it may just spell the end for the three adventurers Written by Aaliyah Winchester

Picking up where the first movie left off, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan are to be married. However this is interrupted when both are arrested for aiding in the notorious Captain Jack Sparrow's escape. The new captain, Beckett, will lift all charges, if Will can hunt down Jack and bring him back to Beckett, along with his magic compass. However, Jack has other problems. Years ago, he made a deal with Davy Jones to raise the Black Pearl. Time is up. His part of the deal was to give Davy Jones his soul. Once Will finds Jack, unaware of the current situation, Jack coaxes Will into boarding Davy Jones's ship, the Flying Dutchman, and retrieve a mysterious key. This key opens the chest that contains Davy Jones's secret. With it, you can control Davy Jones and his fearsome beast, The Kraken. Once Will retrieves said key, Davy Jones is hot on his trail, now hunting down both Jack and Will. It is now, only a matter of time, before something happens. Hopefully the pirates can reach the chest and stop Davy Jones, before he reaches them and sends them all to a watery grave... Written by Undead Ozzy

As they are getting married, Swashbuckling former blacksmith Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, daughter of Governor Weatherby Swann are both arrested by Lord Cutler Beckett and are sentenced to death. Beckett makes a deal with Will for his freedom, Beckett wants Will to find his old friend, pirate Captain Jack Sparrow and give him Jack's magic compass. Agreeing, Will tracks down Jack and finds him and his crew of The Black Pearl on a tribal island inhabited by cannibalistic tribal warriors. Jack makes a deal with Will and he will only give Will his compass, if Will agrees to help him find a key to a chest containing the heart of the octopus like Davy Jones, captain of The Flying Dutchman, so he may free his soul from eternal servitude. Pursued by Davy Jones and his crew of undead warriors and his creature that lives in the sea "The Kraken", Will and Elizabeth go in aid of Jack as they set out to get to the chest first before Davy Jones does, which could spell doom for Jack and his companions and Will must succeed in giving Lord Beckett, the compass, as Beckett plots to put a end to the pirates forever.

Just before their wedding, Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner are arrested by Lord Cutler Beckett for helping the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, but Cutler proposes a deal to Will: their freedom per Jack's compass.

When Will meets Jack, the pirate proposes to exchange his compass by a key owned by Davy Jones. Will goes to the Flying Dutchman without knowing how dangerous and diabolic Davy Jones and his crew are. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Sad News

Thank you for all your sweet off-line messages which I read after returning home from the hospital.  And Seagulles thank you for your morning call it was a pleasant surprise.

On the 8th Feb as I told you I had a backache.  Apparently I overexercise and been taking care of my mum which soon took its toll on me.  It got worse the very next day.  Not sure what to do .... my dad told me to go to the emergency since all the clinics were close.  So we went.  The only reason I was hospitalised was because my bp was low - 80/50.  But my third sister and me always had low bp.  So oh well ...... i guess they did not want to take any chances and so held me back.

After all the investigation they went through and could not find anything wrong with me in which I already suspected they released me.  So Luisi and Rob took me home after the discharge.  Went to see my mum for awhile and we had dinner with her ..... or rather only Rob and myself had dinner with my mum.  Luis and Rob, the kids, my dad and mama visited me at the hospital.  Sara as usual played with my handphone snapping photos and editing them into short clips.  So .... Ana and her could not visit me because my family was there. *sighs*

Ana sent me a sweet message I assured her that I am not going anywhere and that I will always love her.

Sad that my family and surrogate family CANNOT become one all because of Ana's dad. BIGGER *sighs*  why can't they just see beyond that??  Why can't my family see that she is just a kid that needs love.  So what if she has parents!!  Her parents don't know her the way I do.  Can't they just say that ok her dad is cruel and he WAS my ex bf and leave it at that.  Why must they think that ANYONE related to him is bad!  AAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhh!!  It frustrates me how people think.  Can't they just think that she is just one kid instead of thinking she is my ex-bf's child.  So I still lead two separate lives!!  Sad but true!  But the feeling is more for Ana's parents rather than towards Ana herself.

Luisi, the two kids and maid escaped to Zan's house ( my second sis house) which is in the same block.  Luisi left her hubby to settle things with my mum or rather for him to talk to my mum and try to knock some sense into her and I was just there to verify certain issues.

All is cool and they came back down to my mum's.  After few mins we left for my dad's place.  The plan was to drop me off and that's it.  Luisi asked her two kids if they wanted to see their Grandparents.  They shouted yes!!  So we all trooped down.  One thing led to another ..... Luisi being organised and always looking ahead and she said since she was there might as well help clear whatever she can.   Reason being is they are planning to stay at my dad in June of this year.  So she is already planning on where things should go.  In the midst of cleaning things up ..... she stumbled onto my Anne Rice's books WHICH SHE SOOOOOOOO NEARLY WANTED TO GET RID OFF!! 

I stopped her in her tacks.  She said they are only books!!  But to me its a collection of wonderful, books.  I have MOST of her collection.  I love the style in the way she brings her objects and subjects to life.  She is a fantastic author.  I do have other books which was lost in the midst of moving houses    Victor Hugo Le Miserable was one such book.  It was unabridged and was in in its original writing in French but translated in English.  I would cry every single time I read the book.  I would buy it if I see it in Borders or any bookstore.  I saw that musical too about 5 times!!

Anyways ........ I am sure I'll find it somewhere ONE FINE DAY!!

So after taking injection of Tramadol 50mg and that made me a little drowsy.  I slept early and I got up late.  I hate taking pain killers.  They suck big time!!  It doesn't help.  It just suppresses the pain but NOT get rid of it.  So I stopped taking it for the day.  Today the weather was hot with occasional breeze, breakfast was peanut butter sandwich.  Mama was baking bread and butter pudding ...... Yumminessssss!  My fave!!  So I helped her make the custard sauce for it.

After lunch watched  the ending of "Pirates of the Caribbean:  Dead's Man Chest" ........... with both of my fave actors acting.  How can anyone refuse??    Jonny Dep and Orlando Bloom (I still liked him as Lagolas in Lord of the Rings).  They are such a dish!  Followed by Victory filmed in 1981.  Its such a good movie and one that you will not get sick off.  Well, maybe its because I'm also a soccer fan.

In the UK ..... EVERY single Christmas ...... you will hear the Queen's speech followed by Victory followed by a James Bond Movie followed by going down to the Pub IN THAT order or going down to the pub half way through the Queen's speech!  Ha ha.

Its a Sunday today, so its CSI night starting from 9pm!!

Its now 19:05hrs and am getting hungry so I am going down to get myself bread and butter pudding ......... want some??

For the past week its just riddled with bad news:
1)  Catwoman's (my best friend) her granddad past away -  7th Feb
2)  Princess's granddad past away - 8th Feb at 2am
3)  Pak Wan my dad's oldest brother is seriously taken ill for the past few days at the Singapore General Hospital and is still in Intensive Care Unit
4)  I was hospitalised for a backache
5)  Dickson's dad is also taken ill after a car accident  smashing his head in the front screen and is still in Intensive Care Unit.  A 12 year old now without parents.  I love him so dearly.  Always wondering how is he holding up.

Gosh!!  Dear God, I can't handle anymore bad news!!  However, after having said that .... our lives are in God's hands so ONLY he knows what is best for us .... better than we know ourselves!  Hence, I can only pray for more better news.  Amen.

Surrogate Family

You must be wondering how come I've got a surrogate family ..................

It started with my ex-boyfriend ............ this is the longest story ever.

I was with my ex-bf for 7 years.  I found out he was married I was devastated.   At the beginning he always warned me "Don't you dare meet my daughter. EVER!"  So I never did.  But I loved Ana from the moment her dad painted a picture of her.  I gave all that I had to him and his wants and needs.  Always bending to his wimps and fancy.

One day by chance .... Ana lost her SIM card for her handphone.  Her dad warned me .... "don't talk to her." "just say you work for M1 and you are to give her the SIM card."  But when I saw Ana for that very first meeting.  I was so filled with emotion that I had to hold back.  So since she doesn't know me ... I asked her questions that  a  stranger would.  I was stunt to learn that he is married with two kids!!  Ana is from his previous marriage.

I was furious ... when I confronted him.  He denied.  So I went to meet with his ex wife - Ramlah.

She told me that I am not his only "game".  Since I was paying for his  phone bills among other things I started to do my own investigation work.  The deeper I go into it the more bad news I get.  The problem was I was soooooooo in love with him.  I was so hurt.

The only thing good that came out of this relationship is Ana.  My beautiful and wonderful God Daughter.  She understands what I am going through and we became closer.  I became closer to her mum too and beginning to understand her too.  They became my surrogate family.

My Family

This is more for people who don't know me and been telling me to add this in because you say that the "about me" section is tooooo short.

So ..........................

I am the oldest of 4 children.

My second sister Narrizan .... but we call Zan.  Nickname - Hippy chick.

One who is in her own world of Japanese animax and language.  A huge of fan of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and frankly speaking ... so am I.  Ha ha.  She is called the Hippy Chick cause of her simple ways and the way she dresses up.  FYI, we don't get along.  We rarely see eye to eye.  I have no idea why.  Its been from the beginning I guess.  So we only speak when necessary.  However after having said that I know she loves me cause she donated her kidney to me so that I could have a second chance in life.

Stephen works as an editor for a polytechnic .... if I am not mistaken.

She is a homemaker with two wonderful kids - Shahrazad and Darian.  Husband - Stephen Logan.  Their kids are absolutely wonderful

My third sister Leelawati ... but we call her Wat.  Nickname - The Destroyer or Chup (slang for the meaning Carbon copy)

She is currently working as a teacher in Shanghai.  We call her destroyer because what ever she touches .... most of the time would end up destroyed.  She is athletic and love  the outdoor life.  She is very business minded.  Husband - Simon Glenday also teacher working in Shanghai.   Now on holiday till the 12 Jan in Jilin for a skiing holiday.  They got married last year  in Oct.

Cake cutting

http://foreverknight-nk.blogspot.com/2007/10/cake-cutting.html

Some pictures: ... pictures and videos ain't so good cause its taken from my handphone.  Well, half a loaf is better than none right??

http://foreverknight-nk.blogspot.com/2007/10/wedding-pictures.html

My youngest sister Luisiawati.... but we call her Luisi (pronounce as Lucy)  Nickname - Malay Jew.

She works as a senior clinical researcher for Schering-Plough Research Institute.  She travels allot.  The nicknames was given by Rob.  Why??  She is calculative right down to the cent!   good part is she is visionary about EVERYTHING!!  Always thinking ahead .... because of that she is NEVER in trouble.  she has never tasted hard life.  As she say thinking pessimistically is what keep her going.  she travels extensively. 
 

She has two kids Sara and Zack (I've sent you photos of them before).

Husband - Robert Thomas Longbottom.  We call him Rob.  He works for Hitachi in the computer department.  Quiet and shy to people he doesn't know.  But once he gets to know you he's very open.  He believes in science and physical evidence.  He's very approachable.  Kind and thoughtful.

My parents have been divorced for a long time and my dad remarried to the most wonderful woman.  I am so happy to have her as a stepmother.

My mum is a retired Teacher with her health going down the drain.  Her behaviour is child like.  Sometimes she will belittle you and pick on you for no reason.  Basically turning back into a kid.  For my part I just take her words with a pinch of salt and do my best to be with her.

My dad - he's a retired sea captain.  He's born 1933 and healthier than most men his age!!  He still swims which is good for him.  My step mum she is also retired (sorry but I have no idea what she was doing before).  She is a widower whose husband died of cancer about 7 years ago.  They have 3 kids (they are nice people but I rarely see them because they are all in Malaysia).  So my dad and mama stay in Johor Baru in Malaysia during the week days and in Singapore for most weekends.  I love both of them.

Me??   - My nickname by my family - airhead.

Why??  Cause I have the idealism of life which they say its only in my head and not realistic.  To them there is no such thing as peace for the world due to the long drawn war and battle for peace for countries that have been fighting like for the longest time EVER.

My passion is in teaching and still is.
