What's a better way to spend a hot,boring Friday afternoon after the Friday prayer than setting off to KLCC for hours of people-watching,tummy-filling and an indulgent retail therapy plus popcorn-crunching at TGV?Well,that was exactly what I did today and man,did I watch Bride Wars for the 2nd time in 2 consecutive weekends!After a whole week of perusing financial statements in FAF class,analyzing tables and curves in Micro class and an I-only-revised-those-2-chapters-half-an-hour-before-it-started Stat quiz,a respite to KLCC is like a heavenly tub of chocolate Haagen-Dasz ice-cream on a breezy Saturday morning (?).
Since my cohorts -- Akmal,Nabil and Azam -- decided to watch Bride Wars as they hadn't done so due to their exam-packed week,I just followed suit despite the fact that I'd already watched it last weekend with Anas coz it is such a lovely movie with lurrrrrrvely cast *swoon as the image of Anne Hathaway come across my mind*.

The premise is just stereotype like any other chick flicks -- girlfriends-turn-nemesis scheming to bring each other down but eventually get back together,stronger than ever and bla bla bla... -- but seriously,who cares?After all,that's the Golden Ticket that makes chick flicks a sweet,fluffy ball of candyfloss which promises joyous indulgence when you just want to untangle all the knots in your overloaded brain and watch something that doesn't require you to decode the Da Vinci Code.
But being blessed with a ridiculously over-imaginative brain (who else could come up with the male,Malaysian version of Sex and the City if it wasn't me,what more with the show set in..err,Seremban?For more sex-y references,please read my previous post entitled Sex in Seremban Revealed -- Part 1),I sure envisaged the -- once again -- male version of Bride Wars!*Well,let's call it Groom Wars then*
Okay,lemme tell you a brief overview of the movie -- Liv(Kate Hudson),an overbearing attorney who always strive for perfection and the No.1 position and Emma(Anne Hathaway),an elementary school teacher who is pretty much a pushover and always do things to please the people around her,have been best friends since,like,forever and after witnessing a June wedding at New York's ultimate wedding destination,The Plaza Hotel,when they were kids,the two's sole mission in life is -- well,no guess required -- to have a June wedding at The Plaza.But after a technical error occured regarding the wedding date booked at The Plaza,which is caused by Angela,Marion St. Claire's (NYC's most sought-after wedding planner) PA,the two were set to wed at the same date -- June 6 -- unless one of them move the date (no other openings in June are available at The Plaza) or the venue.

And the series of catfights and catastrophe began........Emma's spray-tan lotion was switched from "a little bit of honey" to "blood orange" by Liv at the tanning parlor

Liv's lowlight was switched from blonde to blue by Emma at the salon
and so on..........
In Groom Wars,the premise is just the same but with a slight twist in term of characters,catfights and storyline.The grooms -- Syahmi,a slightly prim,proper economist with a thundering voice and the laughter of a banshee who always strive for perfection and Anas,a bitchy,free-spirited urban planner who loves fun and do things his way,nary a care to what people wanna say as long as he's happy,no rules broken and no one harmed -- had been best friends since high school.Despite certain differences,the two has 2 things in common -- they both love to bask under the limelight and they are so damn crazy over their idol -- the overtly sissy,dressed-like-a-drag-queen *AZWAN ALI*! ~bluwekk!I just couldn't hold myself back hence I puked~

When the two finally proposed to each other's girlfriends,they went to meet Akmaliana van der Stars,Seremban's most prominent wedding planner.They both planned to have December weddings at Klana Resort,Seremban and since there were only 3 openings in December -- 2 on December 12 and 1 on Christmas Day -- Syahmi picked the December 12 and Anas picked the December 25.However,due to an error in venue-booking done by Akmaliana's PA,Nabilatul Huda Hj Naim,Anas' wedding was accidentally moved to Royale Bintang Hotel while Syahmi's stayed at Klana Resort.

Nabilatul Huda Hj Naim,the pest that ruined everything!Melantak jek kojo eh~
As they both had fond memories of going on their respective first date with their soon-to-be wives at Klana Resort,they both insisted on tying the knot at that hotel,and fortunately,the error had been fixed and Anas could finally have his dream wedding at Klana Resort.Nevertheless,the December 25 opening had been seized by someone else,leaving the two BFFs tied at the same date - December 12!This resulted in an extreme tense as both had agreed to be each other's best men and how could Anas be Syahmi's best man if his wedding is on the same time and day as Syahmi's and vice versa?
To add insult to the injury,they both had been longing to invite their idol,Azwan Ali,to imbue some merry joy to their respective wedding but apparently,Azwan's schedule as Bukit Bintang's resident drag queen is too packed that he could only attend ONE wedding on December 12.He didn't even have the time to RSVP both Anas' and Syahmi's wedding invitations -- well,it's Azwan Ali,man!He doesn't need to RSVP to confirm his attendance coz well,he's the diva and everyone waits for a diva. ~BLUWEKKK!BLUWEKKKKK!!!Everybody's puking!~
Since then on,the two started plotting to get rid of each other.
Act 1 -- Anas switched Syahmi's power-booster drink to women's drink,causing him to act in a girly manner - just like Heather(Ashanti) added estrogen extract into John's(Jesse Metcalfe) muscle-building protein shake in John Tucker Must Die. *How could you do this to me!I thought that we were friends...[tears rolling down Syahmi's cheeks]...We used to be BFFs right?Do you know that this is just so heartbreaking??..[sobbing]..I do have feelings,too..[weeping]..and what you did really tugged me on my heartstring...[wailing]*
Act 2 -- Syahmi switched Anas' weight-loss drink to the weight-gain one and switched his low-cal sugar to the regular high-cal one,causing him to balloon up to 90 kg. *Mother F!I can't fit in my Cavalli tux!!!Do you have any idea that I custom ordered this fucking tux from Italy?I thought this fuckin weight-loss crap could really shed some baggage off!Shit!!!*
Act 3 -- Anas spread the false rumor that Syahmi was gay,with an old photo of Syahmi and Asna (Syahmi's friend in college) chumming up as the "evidence". *See,straight guys won't look so damn chummy together in a pic and look at their mouths...don't they look like they just BJ-ed each other?Ugh!*

Act 4 -- Syahmi put some lice from Capaliya's (a girl with a lice-infesting head of seriously unkempt hair from SK Taman Paroi Jaya) hair on Anas' boxer-briefs,causing serious itchiness on his genital area thus prompting Anas to go to his personal doc,only to find out that he got lice down there -- what other rumors would lice or "crabs" spark than the dreaded genital herpes? *Guys,that douchebag is seriously infesting "crabs" on his dick!Whoa,that's revolting,huh?*

**So,how does the story end?And whose wedding does Azwan Ali go to?**
Well,I wanna make this post an open-ended one.You call the shot on how do you want this story to end like~
