Marathon Man.

Guess what? I think I watched not less than 5 movies.... yeah my mind is dull due to watching a marathon of movies over the weekend.

Let me try to recall the movies..... Hey do not expect me to remember the title or the leading characters.... hehehe... that is my weakness.... My memory is kaput...

1) I think it started when a man sat a bus stop. He saw a man about to kill a pregnant lady. He tried saving the lady. He even helped the lady deliver a baby, while shooting out with the bad guy....

The lady died, and the journey begins for him and the baby. It was about a crooked business man and a politician manipulating people to achieve their dream.

My rating it is just an ok movie. Watch out for the scene when he was making love, simultaneously shooting out with the bad guys.... and his partner climaxed! Hehehe...

2) 2nd movie about this killer. One bad tough huge dude. He was betrayed and his love life was killed by his own gang.

Served his sentence and bent on revenge. He was very focus. For a slow poke, well he was pictured as not bright, he does focus and planned well.

The thing that the movie was so obviously trying to tell is how, misunderstanding and miscommunication, can easily happened and result in devastating effect. In this story how the gangs that was controlling the drugs in that city actually wiped out each other....

I rate this movie as ok.

3) This movie was about the dragons. The story line was a little bit different, and taken from the folklore of Korea.

Awesome graphics for the battle scenes. A little bit sad. Very bad acting. My rating, it barely make it to ok. If your really are bored then watch this movie.

4) This one is about the walking dead. A man rescuing a lady in distress (whats new?). Lady supposedly have a cure to the zombie disease.

Very bad story line. Very bad acting. Waste of my time. This is definitely a B rated movie!

5) This movie also barely make it to the "ok" category. It gaves me a few laugh. I can say that this one is a little bit weird. Imagine what the game ping pong got to do with espionage?

Well as it is a comedy movie, it pulls thru. For those that loves funny movies, this can be considered a good movie. The cast was not so well known, except for Christoper Walken. Anybody seen or remember Chris in the movie "Deer Hunter"? "Deer Hunter" is a great ever movie!

6) Hey I actually watched more than 5 movies! It was a marathon.... and I aim to do that again during the long holidays this weekend! Yeaaaaaah!

This movie is a Thai movie. I think those who like fighting scenes, drama, relationship kind of story line, should see this movie. I easily picked this movie as the best for this week!

It is a story about friendship, how 3 friends from the "backwaters" try to make it in Bangkok. How two of them sacrifies for one of them to make it in the world. One even sacrifies his own love....

It is a fighting story, when most scene are good fighting cheoragraphy. Not as good as "Ong Bak", but still great.

It is an underworld movie in Bangkok. Be ready for some brutal killings and gory scenes. No nudity.... hehehe....

It is a very good relationship story. Story about sacrifices and what seems to be betrayal. There was even some romantic scenes.

It is a sad movie. I am not ashame to say I shed some tears.... Usually only Hindi movies can make me cry.... That is why I have not seen Hindi Movie for quiet sometime.

That is all folks for movie review this week. Hopefully more soon.

P/S: This is for Kuzz and all my friends. Watching those movies makes me want to write this paragraph. What I have written in this blog pertaining to my job have been true, accept for one thing. I was not FIRED! I resigned, as I got a better offer. Wish me luck people. Thanks for your understanding and support. Forgive me if any of you are pissed off due to my lie.....

MPD First Monday Of The Month.

Why la I choose Monday??? Never mind, I will start with the MPD. Actually, nothing much la, I have been doing very little good deeds....

MPD

1) A cat gave birth to two kittens in my storeroom. One red and one black. Decided to help the mum and two kids have a better place to live. Put the two kids in a nice cute box, cushion with old rags. I was sad after two days the cat and kittens went missing.

2) Three days later when I got back from work, I heard a kitten meowing so loud. Saw a red kitten in between a banana tree. I dont think it was the twins, cause this one is about a few weeks old. The eyes had opened. It look so pathetic. First look, I thought it was going to die soon.

Took it home, fed it water. I dont have milk. Only the next day I managed to get milk and cat food. The kitten looks like it was going to die. Surprisingly, a few days later it was running around! Poor kitten, I can only feed it once or the most twice a day, before and after I go to work.

3) Gave training to my colleagues for three separate days. Nothing much, just to give them some idea, there are choices in life. Make them understand, we can only decide upon what is in our control. Thus it is best for them to focus on their part, rather than worry on things like the weather, or what the president of America going to do next.....

Already get approval from the management to give further training. I am having fun doing the so called training.....

That is basically it that I can remember, other than the small small things that I have been doing since last month. I hope you readers do your part to make this world a better place to live.....


Now comes the Monday blues part.

1) Flight was delayed and I arrived home at the early hours of this morning. What a start to a Monday?

2) My first day (actually November 1st, but they send me outstation) of work at the new place. Ermm.. I purposely did not blog about it... hehehe.... wish me luck people... I went in at about 11 am! Not my fault, the plane was delayed.....

3) The managers were giving me a hard time. New place, so they are testing me I guess. So far I have kept my cool.....

Lets see what tomorrow brings? A better life ...

Once upon a time when I was small......

Everytime Hari Raya, I will remember my childhood days. Both my parents have long gone. Thus I think Hari Raya will fill me with nostalgia.....

I have not thought about it for so long, and I can hardly remember the memories. We lived in the village. I was maybe about 6 years old then..... hehehe.... yeah I am really old! Electricity just came to our village then....

So being so called a better off family, we had the first television in the village. This was what I vaguely remembered.

On every Friday night there will be many of the villagers coming to our house. Some came early, just after Magrib. Those who arrived late will be sitting at the veranda. If I am not mistaken at 8 pm was the malay movie playing.

If it was a good movie, the crowd could be more than 30 people, on average it will be about 20 people. I remembered watching those movies on the lap of my late mother. Those were the days.... so simple.....

After the show, usually after 10 pm, they will all leave, some rode bicycles. I noticed that most of them will handshake my mother, giving her 10 cents.... and I saw some living 5 cents at the veranda railings.

That memory haunts me....

My Pride Day (MPD)

You see, all my life I have been more bad than good.

So I have been thinking, how can someone as small as me (compared to the universe of God) make an impact or good changes in this world?

So I did little little things, like

1) Smiling to my neighbor.
2) Helping the blind crossing busy streets.
3) Saying thank you to all that gives me anything or render me services.
4) Picking up a puppy trapped in the drain.
5) Giving talks and advice to unfortunate kids.

and more little little things. I think you all get my drift here. And lately I have been thinking how can I do more? All this while I have been blogging, and friends have asked me to do some sort of tag or another.

So I am just thinking, why not start a tag? After consulting KH (Kucing Hitam @ Black Feline) she suggested MPD. Thanks KH I really appreciate it. I am hoping you will be the first one to do it. Guess it should not be a problem for you.

Will start with some simple rules.

1) Choose a day in a week or month or year. On that day, you will write all the good things you have done, may it be small or big. Small like the one I did and wrote up there. Big can be like donating RM 1 million or setting up a home for the orphan.

2) So the tag will be ongoing. Lets say you choose to do it every first Monday of the month. Then on that Monday you will post on your blog what good deeds you have done for the month.

3) You may tag as many you like. The more the merrier. Make sure you copy the rules and put it on top of your post.

I guess those are the rules. Who am I tagging? All that is in my friends and read list and those that do drop by here to read my blog.

The idea is to make our life a little bit better, starting by us doing and feeling great about our life. Promote this to others so that this little little things can go a long way and make a bigger impact in our lives.

If you care about all the miseries in this life, than start doing good deeds no matter how small it is. My hope is that this tag will travel all over the world, and make someone happy and maybe save a few souls.

Do your bit now!

I am choosing the first Monday of the month for my MPD starting 1st October 2007.

Hope it is not a burden for all of you to participate and be a part of making the world a better place to live.

P/S: I will be promoting this tag for 15 days. So my new post will be below this post.

Pay It Forward.

Pay It Forward was a book written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which was later made into a movie. Pay It Forward Foundation was established later to champion the project. Please refer this article in Star 6th October, 2007.

Honestly, I have not read the book, nor I have seen the movie, but I have heard of it before. So as I happen to promote doing deeds and kindness starting this month of Ramadhan this article grabbed my attention. If they can start a foundation, caring Malaysian can start one too. Caring Malaysian can be better.....

Let me elaborate on what I did,

1) Smile to my neighbor. This happened I guess it was because of the Adik Nurin tragedy. We should be more kind and getting to know our neighbor(s), especially if they happen to be one sexy lady.....

2) Helping the blind cross a busy street. It happened in the jam in Jalan Raja Laut. A blind leading a blind, got confused when they were trapped in-between two vehicles. I just happened to be there are the right time, and guide them to the other side of the street. To the vehicle that stopped right in the middle of the pedestrian crossing, sir and madam, please have heart to the blind....

3) Saying thank you. It is becoming a habit, saying thank you, to the toll collector, to the person taking order in the fast food restaurant, to whoever that is kind to me, especially if it is a pretty lady.... hehehe....

4) Picking (saving) up a puppy from a drain. For two nights in a row, I can hear a dog barking every time I came home late..... then on the third day I came back early. I still can hear the barking. When around to look for the dog, a few meters away I saw a puppy in the drain, at a ledge looking tired and hungry. Three days stuck in the drain, luckily it did not rained! I was unsure what to do, finally took a thrown away plank and elevate the puppy out off the drain.... it ran away immediately.. at least it was still strong...

5) Giving talk and advice to unfortunate kids. This has been my project for more than 7 years. I was from a poor background. I can relate to these kids. Most of them, actually are from family background that cant even afford a proper school shoe. So, some of my friends they look after the financial needs. Me, being also, "just enough", gave my time for them. Not much just once a month on the first Saturday. This might be my final year.... need to get some other people the chance to take my place... and I am thinking of making something bigger.... maybe giving talks and advice to teenagers that are facing issues in their life.... maybe...

Well, will be doing other small small things like what Pay It Forward is doing.... paying meals for strangers, washing strangers cars, etc.... But as everything is limited for me (time, money, etc) I just stick to smaller smaller things first....

As 15th of October is my birthday.... Yeah! I would like all of u that reads this, do something good on that day.... Yeah for strangers like me..... I will be grateful if all of u do good deeds to strangers as a gift for my birthday....

P/S: Just for your info, I do not celebrate my Bday, because I do not want to, and we were poor.... but now, I want to do good on my Bday.... and I hope all of you will too, as much as possible... Make our life better by helping others to make their life a little bit better..... Hehehe... I am writing too much today!

A Game In A Public Place.

I have to apologize up front, as I may offend some people, especially the ladies.

I was on the public transport recently. I was bored. Then my mind says, lets play a game. But what game? Suddenly an idea hits me......

It is a simple game. I have to be honest with myself. After all, I am the only one playing and knowing that I am playing the game!

As the place is crowded with so many people. The objective of the game is to find a lady, by her looks, dressing and posture, that I think I would like to be my life partner!

So I started looking and evaluating the ladies. 1st one, failed. 2nd, failed. It went on and on. I think it was the 30th lady, saw one that I felt might make a good life partner.

What amaze and alarm me was that, I think I vetted thru at least 200 ladies, and only about 3 or 4 of the ladies falls into the category that might be my life partner! That is only about 2 percent.....

I started to evaluate myself. Am I so picky? Or my standard too high? Or the samples on that day was not my "taste"?

Whatever it was. That day I learned:

a) Even if I think that lady is suitable for me.... on her side, it might not be.
b) The first impression of attraction (which can be fatal) between me and all those strangers, the percentage is too small.
c) There are so many beautiful, sweet, sexy and well dressed ladies, however only a handful fall into the category "my type".

My conclusion is that if I were to look for a life partner, base on first impression and attraction, at a public area, the chances is nearly zero.

Anybody game to play this game?

Note: Yes I am aware, that I am not a suitable life partner candidate for most women.....

Hip Hop

Dear Mr. Jackal
Did I miss you today?
Did you miss your way?
Did you see me fall?

Yesterday was then
When I was lost
Today is a pretend
Emerging as a ghost.

Wondering tick tock
Hip hop hip hop
Down the rock
Flip flop flip flop.

Walking round the clock
Tick tock tick tock
What a beautiful frock
A handsome prince of frog?

I like watching.

Hey I managed to see "Ghost Rider", "In Search Of HappYness" and "Babel" at one go!



Ghost Rider.

My kind of story. I like the chopper. I like the burning chopper.

Now they say the PS2 game is out. Got to get one...... from the makers of Gods of War.


In Search Of HappYness.

This one is a "Malay" movie. Fell, the ladder hit you.... again and again.......


Babel.

Highlights of the movie. A boy (10 years old?) masturbating. A dumb and deaf young lady, naked. A Brad Pitt.


So what you all expect? Me making you all pissed off by telling the story line?? Hehehe... not me!

Playing kite.

II had to the opportunity to play the kite today. Maybe because I do not play kite enough when I was a kid. Thus whenever, I have the time, I will play my kites. Actually I have three kites.

One have two strings. This one currently is my favourite. However, it is the one very difficult to handle. You can do acrobatic stunts with this one. I am not an expert yet, but I have seen two guys play their kites in tandem. They flew it in paterns, and it looks very well coordinated.

The other two are just like the one in the picture above. One red and one black looks like bats. Very easy to launch and fly. Sometimes when I am at my wits end, I would just take out this two kites and fly it. It give me some peace of mind.

I wish I can be with the kites more often. Well lets see if I can make the Boer Goats business lucrative enough for me to have some time playing kites.
