Beautiful & GLAM by Rawlins

My friends and I love to have our reunion during Ramadhan - hence the concept of Iftar Sesama has been the theme for our breaking fast sessions for so many years.

And when Bangi Golf Resort (BGR) introduces its theme for the year as Iftar Sesama, it immediately brings me back to the sweet memories during the gatherings.
As this is my very first year reviewing the ramadhan buffet of BGR, I am pleased to hear that BGR has its own farm from which the fresh ingredients are from. The concept of "Farm in the City" guarantees fresh ingredients for all the dishes.

Here are some of the main attractions @ Iftar Sesama Bangi Golf Resort

Sous Vide Eggs with Espuma mushrooms *Ini wajib dirasa*
Nasi Kerabu with ulam-ulaman (fresh from farm)
Laksa Singapura
Kambing Bakar
Sup Kambing Mamak
Satay Ayam & Daging
Ayam Varuval
Kari Ikan Tenggiri
Churros
Tiramisu Cakes
Pulut kuning
Blueberry Creme Brulee Cake
Orea Cheese Cake

Why Iftar Sesama @ Bangi Golf Resort?

1) Sharing of pahala BGR will be contributing 1% of the total profits throughout the month of Ramadhan to Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) as this contribution will be used to assisting the humanitarian works of IRM.
2) Feast accordingly with zero wastage BGR, in collaboration with Food Aid Foundation, will be saving the leftovers and distributing them to the needy to ensure there will be zero wastage. It was reported in 2018, we Malaysians wasted almost 4,000 metric tans of food daily. So, with this collaboration, more food will be saved and many people will be able to have their daily meals.
For those who wish to contribute to needy ones, BGR in collaboration with F8Buzz.com is organizing Kotak Sumbangan Iftar Sesama where the public could contribute food and clothing items for the needy ones.
3) Worth Your RM In the current world economic situation, every single cent spent have to be worthy of its cause. So, I would say RM59 nett (adult) and RM29 (child) for a feast of 200 different dishes would be very reasonable and affordable too. Remember that the money spent will be assisting the underprivileged too.
4) Worship BGR has opened up a larger surau to accommodate a larger crowd without compromising the comfort of worship. And now the parking area has around 800 free parking slots waiting for all of us!

So, you want to plan your Iftar Sesama with your loved ones here?

Head on here.

Metascore: 46

IMDb: 6.9/ 10

Tomatometer: 42%

The movie starts with a family of four enjoying their picnic on a field. Suddenly one of the boys realised that his mother and brother are missing. He found their mother in a nearby stream, drowning his brother. He tries to run away but it seems that his mother manages to catch him. Then the story moves to Los Angeles in 1970s. Anna, a widowed social worker, finds that juggling between raising her two kids, Chris and Sam and her job was quite a challenge. And her boss agrees with her.

When her boss assigns a case of her acquiantance, Patricia to her younger colleague, she insists on getting the case to prove her boss wrong. At Patricia' home, she finds the two boys locked in a closet with visible signs of physical abuse, althought the kids deny that it was their mother's doing. Patricia was resisting the arrest while constantly wailing 'Please keep them inside for one more night! Just one more night!' over and over again. Convinced that the boys secured under the police's care, Patricia when home. Later that night, she was called by her boss, telling her about the boys' demise - they were drowned. Taking her kids with her to the crime scene, she told Chris to watch over his sleeping sister inside the car.

But kids as kids are - the more you advise them against something, the more intrigue they are to know more. While watching his mother looking at the two kids' corpses from afar, Chris heard a woman crying in the sewer. As he gets nearer to the weeping sound, he realised that the sound was not human. As he tries to run, the ghost manages to grap his hand and leaves some burn marks on his hand. Chris decides not to tell his mother or sister about the lady ghost, knowing that either will believe him. Patricia vows to let the ghost take Anna's kids so that she can see her boys again. The next day, it was Sam's turn to meet the weeping woman while trying to run after her umbrella that fall into their pool. The ghost also grab her hand and leave burn marks there too. And that night was the first night that Anna meet the weeping woman in her room.

Distraught, she seek help from a priest who tells her to get assistant from an ex-priest, Rafael who know how to handle the matter of the weeping ghost. Will Anna be able to save her family from the weeping ghost? Or will Patricia be able to see her boys again by sacrificing Anna's kids?
MY REVIEW Plot: 4.95/ 5.0 It was such an easy plot - a ghost wants to take everyone else's happiness as she can't have hers and a man of God will try to fail her plan. But the storytelling of this easy plot was so detailed and meticulous that you feel the need to help the family and kill the ghost yourself. Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 Well done Rich Della for such a brilliant cast - every single one did their characters justice! Will I watch it again: I will, in the cinema and at home too!

When I saw that Hellboy was airing, I immediately bought the ticket as I am intrigued as I was not aware that there is the 3rd live-action of Hellboy.

Hellboy, The Blood Queen, Movie Review by Rawlins, Action, Fantasy, Milla Jovovich Rawlins GLAM

And I don't remember seeing the trailer/ promo video in the cinema too.
SYNOPSIS

Hellboy 2019 Trivia

Directed by: Neil Marshall

Produced by: Lawrence Gordon, Lloyd Levin, Mike Richardson, Philip Westgren, Carl Hampe, Matt O'Toole, Les Weldon, Yariv Lerner

Production companies: Summit Entertainment, Millennium Media, Lawrence Gordon Productions, Dark Horse Entertainment, Nu Boyana, Campbell Grobman Films

Distributed by: Lionsgate

Running time: 121 minutes

Rating: R (horror violence, bloody images etc)

This film adapts the England-set Hellboy stories "The Wild Hunt" and "The Storm and the Fury", where Nimue becomes the Queen of Blood and Hellboy in his battle with her brings about the apocalypse.

Budget: $50 million

Metascore:35

IMDb: 5.6/ 10

Tomatometer: 11%

The movie starts with a backstory of the demise of Nimue by Merlin and King Arthur. With her limbs being torn to pieces and each part kept in different caskets, Nimue, The Blood Queen vows that she will one day come when she will back to inflict vengeance on the world.
In modern days, Hellboy was given the task to ascertain the whereabouts of Ruiz, who is missing after being sent to investigate a vampire's lair in Mexico. He accidentally killed Ruiz during their wrestle in a ring fight.

Devastated, he drinks his sorrow away. Then his father sends him to assist in a giant's hunt in London where the group suddenly turn their backs and tries to kill Hellboy instead, as they believe that Hellboy will be the end of the world. Hellboy manages to survive the attack and have to kill the giants too.
He fainted due to loss of blood and Alice, his long lost acquaintance, saves him. Alice is a psychic that interacts with the souls of the dead ones. When his father tells him that the current attacks on churches and abysses are related to the release of Nimue, Hellboy are send to hunt for her together with Alice and Ben, a soldier that will turn into jaguar when angered.
During one of their hunts, Hellboy sees the vision of Nimue who tells him that together they can build a world where they are not being feared by everyone. Intrigued by the idea of such world, Hellboy seems to be distracted and at times a bit unwilling to commit to their cause ie to kill Nimue.

Who will Hellboy choose - the world that fears him or rule together with Nimue and kills everyone that opposes them?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 3.0/ 5.0 I was a bit confused with all the new characters in this one. So many new characters that were not from the first two movies. The storyline is simple - Nimue gets assembled and tries her best to overrule the world. Hellboy will try to stop her, while at the same time intrigued by the idea of a world where he can live freely. At times, the movie became a bit heavy and draggy but overall, it was just ok.

Cast: 3.2/ 5.0 Not the best of a cast but when I see Milla as Nimue, the Blood Queen, I rejoice! Others are just ok. And it seems that Hellboy is a bit stiff moving his right hand.
Will I watch it again: Not in the cinema, I will watch it, whenever I want to watch Milla again.

A wedding that cost RM500K? Wow!
I bet that's your first thought when you see the words. And your next thought might be "The newlyweds must be some sort of business mogul or their immediate family members, a celebrity or of royal descendants."
So did I! This particular wedding is actually none of the above.

Siti Suriani, Siti Jamumall, Jamumall, Siti Jamumall Wedding, Wedding Photography, Malaysia Wedding, Majlis Kahwin Siti Jamumall, Rawlins GLAM,

Siti Suriani is actually a KOL that has been promoting various items online for the past 3 years. She is also a host for Jamumall.com, an online shopping portal for beauty, health, fashion and food items.
Siti said and quoted 'I promoted the products as sincere as I could be, and alhamdulilah, managed to get the products to be recognized and some even went viral.'
Siti Suriani is also known as Siti Jamumall.
She initially planned to have a smaller scale wedding that includes family and friends only. But being a KOL, after she updated her FB status of having her wedding soon, she was blessed with non-stop offers to become sponsors for her upcoming wedding. It is kinda pay-it-forward kind of act, her good sincere acts brought all these good people to assist her for her big day.
So, her big day was sponsored all through and through - started from her nikah day, pre-wedding event & photoshoot, berinai night, wedding reception and not forgetting her honeymoon too!

The wedding reception took place last Sunday, 7 April 2019 at Laman Kayangan, Shah Alam with thousands of guests that include some of Malaysia's A-list celebrities.

The wedding received sponsors of all sorts from about 100 companies that Siti Jamumall had promoted over the years. And listed below are the Top Sponsors for the big day.

When I heard that Pet Sematary is making a comeback after its 1989 debut, I know that I have to watch it.

Pet Sematary, Stephen King, Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Movie Review by Rawlins,

I've read the novel and watched the first one, so why should I skip on this one, right?
SYNOPSIS

Pet Sematary Trivia

Directed by: Kevin Kölsch, Dennis Widmyer

Produced by: Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Steven Schneider, Mark Vahradian

Production company: Di Bonaventura Pictures

Distributed by: Paramount Pictures

Running time: 101 minutes

Rating: R (horror violence, bloody images etc)

In the novel, Louis manages to kill the undead versions of both Church and Gage with morphine. The resurrected Church and Ellie end up surviving the events of the film.

Budget: $21 million

Box Office: $42.3 million

Metascore:58

IMDb: 6.3/ 10

Tomatometer: 61%

Dr Louis Creed moves to Ludlow, Maine with his wife and two children, Ellie and Gage and their pet, Church. Hypnotised by the large land area and the green outside while exploring their new home, Ellie stumbles upon a procession of children, sending off a deceased pet dog to a cemetery ground named 'Pet Sematary'. The ground is located on Dr Louis' new land. While exploring the cemetery, Ellie meets Jud, their neighbour who warns Ellie and her mother, Rachel not to venture alone into the woods.

We are preparing for Halloween

Meanwhile, Dr Louis is feeling shaken after failing to save the life of Victor, a student who has been fatally injured after met an accident on the university ground. That night, he dreams of walking around the 'Pet Sematary' ground and meeting Victor who told him not to venture beyond the cemetery ground. When he wakes up in the morning, he finds his feet are muddy, apparently after walking barefoot to the cemetery ground, which means he was not dreaming.
When Church is killed by a truck, Jud takes Dr Louis to the cemetery ground and leads him to beyond the ground as Jud wants to make Ellie happy again, not wanting her to be distraught of Church's demise. Jud tells Dr Louis to bury Church on the ancient ground once used by the Indians which was supposed to be very magical and mystical. The morning after, Dr Louis is surprised to see that Church is back in the house, but with a different attitude - seemingly more aggressive than before. After Church scratches Ellie and kills a bird in front of him, Dr Louis confronts Jud about the burial area who explains to him that the ground is able to bring back the dead. Dr Louis then brings Church to a faraway place and releases him onto the highway, just wanting to keep Church a distance from his family.

Human, give me my treat, NOW

I am literally DRAGGING my mum!

On Ellie's 9th birthday, Church comes back and Ellie was the first to see the cat walking down the road towards the house. Running towards the cat, a tanker skids and kills Ellie. Devastated, Rachel brings Gage to her parents' place leaving Dr Louis alone. Intrigued by the thought of having Ellie back, Dr Louis exhumes Ellie's body from her grave and buries her on the ancient burial ground.

Ellie returns, and just as Church did, her attitude is changed - dark and menacing.
Is that really Ellie? Will the family be able to accept the resurrected Ellie and become a happy family again?

I told you not to use that shampoo - look at my fur now!

MY VERDICT Plot: 4.8/ 5.0 I've read the novel and watched the first movie, so I know the story before even going in for the movie. Of course, it will not be fair to compare the plot to the novel. Also there are some differences in the movie as compared to the novel. Somehow, the differences kinda create a new version of 'Pet Sematary'.
Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Oh my. Jete as Ellie is marvellous and she is super committed as the undead version of Ellie. All are super committed to their parts and I have no complaint at all.
Will I watch it again: I will, at home as I love to rewatch all my favorite movies during my free time.
