The Premier of Whiteout

DISCLAIMER: I know i said in previous post that this was suppose to be Hennessy Artistry but that will have to wait a while longer hahaha

So it was the 13th of Oct, some were a bit taboo about the number 13 but to me its just another number. Poor 13 somehow along the way in history got associated with BAD LUCK. I think it all started with the whole Salem Witch Trial thing which i dont know much about...anywhoooooooooo Kristine so kind heatedly invited me to the premier of Whiteout.





I'm just going to roughly summarize the movie in my own words...don't worry I wont give out any spoilers hahaha....Basically the movie is a Suspense/Thriller movie about mankind's greed which eventually cause havoc in Antarctica where the movie is set. Whiteout is a phenomenon whereby the weather gets so bad that winds can reach up to 100 mph and you can not see more than 6 inches in front of you. So the movie is about a group of geologist who were out on their expedition searching for meteorites until 1 day they stumbled upon something very precious. The story slowly unfolds itself with flashbacks and a twist or two. Carrie Stetko(Kate Beckinsale) plays a U.S Marshall who is determined to hunt down the murderer and solve the mystery involved as the team of geologist dies 1 by 1....i personally like movies like this where I cant guess the endings. During the movie you are bound to feel SUSPENSE haha and the element of suspense is not disappointing at all and will most definitely bring you to the edge of your sits. The twist in the movie is relatively good BUT the movie is quite short. I however enjoyed it and would recommend you to watch it despite the length of the movie. It is rated 18 PL...i think...but there really isn't much unless the good Malaysian Board of Censorship CENSORED off all the good parts hahaha...there is a certain extend of Goriness in the movie but if you managed to survive Final Destination 4 then this would be a stroll in the park for you. The movie will be premiering in Cinemas this Thursday i think which is the 15th of Oct so go watch it....The movie's cast includes KATE BECKINSALE (love her) Shawn Doyle and Nicolas Wright.

Anger Management

As the title suggest this post is going to get hot hot hot...hahaha i've never had a post like this so here goes...i'll try to be as gentle as possible for the benefit of everyone.

The one thing that ticks me off...that i have really REALLY low tolerance towards is when ppl change because of POWER. I'm really damn effing annoyed with bone heads like this. After taking a long break from IT I finally decided to go bak and Sunday marked the first day of my so called return. I never expected anything knowing things has been getting from bad to worst until a few stepped bak in to try n salvage whatever is left of IT. Then seeing them bak there i thought to myself hey maybe it wouldn't be thaaaatttt bad after all la. I was in for a surprise la...the dungu of a person cannot even greet ppl with a simple HI also. *argue* But Mark she stress la chill la give her some time and space...if thats the case right I want to go around being an asshole and justify myself by saying i'm going through a bad patch la. =.= ... cannot right? i mean wtf like everybody else got no issues in their life la either way it is not an excuse to treat ppl badly. So ok fine i'll be the understanding one and give her the benefit of the doubt la huh.

During practice we were running through a song and it had to be stopped so that the musicians could be TOLD what to play...now that SERIOUSLY ticks me off...We are not Malaysian Philharmonic orchestra or a PERFORMING choir....so why scrutinize the way the musicians play..What happen to spontainity and sparks of inspiration...I felt like I was at work being PUSHED around by a boss whos nose has been arched SOOOO high that he cant even see his own 2 feet. Things were just really PATHETIC...yes i miss the good ole times we had...how we used to have fun being together glorifying HIM n not OURSELVES...I dont like to just sit down and complain and then do nothing about it but now i'm gettin my arse up and TRYING to do something about it and yet all I see is EGO and INSECURITY....FLAWS that OTHERS have to suffer for...now that is just plain ridiculous la...its been at least 2 months i've been bearing with beats that are just saddening... 1 BY 1 THEY FALL BECAUSE OF POWER AND THE TUNE THAT IS PLAYING IS THE SAME OLD TUNE....in the movie spider man Uncle Ben said to Peter...with great POWER comes great RESPONSIBILITY. Only thing i see is the responsibility of keeping me myself and I above the rest regardless of what I do...

In Your Attempts to Make Things Look Nicer, You Do The Direct Opposite and Make A Fool Out Of Yourself.


Now thats that...since I'm on a roll I might as well talk about other things....Its been at least a month since it happen and i'm slowly getting used to things but once in a while it still bugs me here and there...Like when I'm alone and things dont seem to go my way, when the cold I feel is more than just a physical sensation, the feeling of holding onto something so real yet so abstract comes creeping in. I reach out my hand hoping to feel something warm, something familiar but no, all I feel is emptiness. Am I ok? Yes I am but I'm only human and seeing something that I have nurtured grow into what i thought was so beautiful, what I thought was going to keep growing, something that would not fail when everything else does. All my emotions every drop of it pouring into that one thing and one thing only....finally dying so abruptly. Yes only time can heal and yes it has been healing, nevertheless my confidence has dropped, my self esteem trying to find its way back to me. I'm already packing up and bringin my act else where, and so ladies and gents this is a little glimpse into my inner soul. Thank You...

Man Utd 2 - 1 Arsenal....So What?? =)

well welll...now that is why I LOVE with a capital L football sooo much....not just because Man Utd came up top for this match but it just goes to show that, the game ain't over till the fat lady sings....(its a football expression FOR REAL)

So once again just like how i did on the Man Utd - Liverpool post...i'm going to be very objective about a few things if its right its right if its wrong then its wrong la....

Reading the title Man Utd fans must be thinking....IDIOT....SO WHAT??? hahaha well yeah so what...to me this game was just another game in the whole season...YES it was a good game... YES they beat the Guooonerss YES Man Utd did walk away with 3 points and i guess ultimately that is the whole idea...it really doesn't matter THATTTTTT much who Man Utd beats ... its I believe a lot more to "good they have won yet another game to help them with the season" but what makes this win so special?? .... well i guess its because of the hype about Man Utd losing to a newly promoted side and Arsenal starting off the season with such a bang so putting 1 to 1 Arsenal were expected to HANTAM!!! Man Utd at home .... this defeat just shows that...The season is still so FRESH la dont talk cock sing song all about winning the title already just cause they went on a trashing spree for their FIRST 3 GAMES....=.=....

So about the game...all in all i would say it was a good game honestly not just because Man Utd won...but it was not 1 sided and chances were there for both sides....If you look at big games its always about who would break first MENTALLY....like the goal from Arshravin (or however you spell his name) Vidic should have closed him down and not allow him to shoot....as for Ben Foster...i guess he just wasn't expecting a shoot like that BUT take nothing away from the small russian dood it was a great goal...Then came the PENALTY which i believe changed the whole course of the game...once again things like this are not RARE it is quite common especially in big games....did rooney dive to get the penalty...NO...Almunia clearly TA PAU the fella which was kinda unessecary cause if rooney would have gotten the ball it would be a lot harder to put it pass Almunia. After the penalty, came the Freekick that GIGGSY took....a silly mistake by diaby and BAM!!! OWNNNN GOALLLL!!!!!! but if you watch the replay for that, Rooney was right behind Diaby and if Diaby let it go it would have fallen right into Rooney's feet and also BAMM!!!! but this time GOALLLL!!!!!

So that is about it...the highlights of the match...apart from the fact that Ben Foster managed a BRILLIANT reaction save and that Arsenal had 6 Yellow Cards.... Man Utd's lost to Burnley didn't really come as a BIG surprise for me...Shit happens in in life and in FOOTBALL so you better Buckle Up cause I can see an interesting season dawning upon us with more matches like this to come and perhaps more DRAMA!!! +)

Of Raining Mornings and Sunny Afternoons

Well its been a very long while since i blogged and its mainly because i'm on summer break and I really have no motivation to go about being my active self. BUTTTTT i'm really not complaining, i'm enjoying the laid back life i have right now...KINDA stress free, really NOTHING much to worry about and the occasionnal hanging out with frens is all very much NICE!!!!

So of rainy mornings and sunny afternoons huh...well that title has been stucked in my head for quite some time and it really has nothing to do with anything i'm goin to write about hahaha in fact i'm not to sure what i'm goin to write about. There has been however a few days that were literally raining in the morning and bright and sunny in the afternoon. To be honest i actually like that kind of weather hahaha the nice cold weather outside in the morning just makes curling up in bed oooooo so much nicer and the sunny afternoons welll are just sunny afternoons hahaha....

So ppl have been asking me how on good old planet earth do i survive 4 months of holiday practically doing NOTHING....hahaha...well there really only is 1 rule....TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES....i literally dont worry about what is going to happen tomorrow and just do what i feel like doing. =) NOT PLANNING for what i'm going to do tomorrow is really not me...when the semester begins again...i'll be constantly looking at the calendar planning and planning prioritising events and stuffs.....and things can really get out of hand sometimes ask any chemical engineer and they'll say pretty much the same thing...so when summer dawns upons us or ME specifically, I guess i just dont wanna work on high gear and thats why i opt for a very much more laidback lifestyle hahaha...

Ppl say i should get a part time job instead of just bumming around...well if I find a part time job worth doing ( NOT FOR THE MONEY ) then i would...besides sitting alone at home for most of the day gives me some time to myself too... Sitting here in my computer room watching as ppl go on with their lives thru FB and MSN and their BLOGS is quite interesting. Sometimes being awake at this hour alone...thoughts would creep into my mind...NO not negative thoughts...just thoughts of who I was and how did i get here and where am i now and where am I headed to....I was actually watching Yasmin Ahmad's commercials before blogging and she(he) really knows what she want her audience to FEEL, SENSE, THINK....of course I speak for those who are open minded and not those who look at her commercials thinking that it must have a hidden racist agenda....Here is the link to 1 of my favourite and its not because of interacial marriage but because of what the indian lady said....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XLZsiCBsA.

apparently Yasmin Ahmad took the idea from the movie Good Will Hunting...but whatever la....what really struck me was the things said in the ad....and I really have to agree that being with our partners knowing their 'imperfections' is what makes them beautifully perfect and when they are gone it is the little things that you remember....like the way she laughs or smiles...or looks at you when you go on non stop ranting about that stupid driver....it is the little things that really matter after all...but this is said a lot more than done...when i watch this type of ads or listen to songs that i can really relate too...i get sudden burst of inspirations and thoughts...anyways while you are at that link look at the related videos and there are a few videos from thailand (not by yasmin ahmad) that are worth watching also...for those with a weaker heart i suggest you prepare tissues cause tears...i can gurantee you will be there hahaha....

well i guess thats all i have to say for now...so spend some time with yourself to get to know yourself better...if you dont know yourself how are you going to share YOU with the world...=)....

1st Time For Everything

Alrite i know this post is about 1 week late and my excuse for it being late is that I was just too lazy to do anything but watch tv series and sleep. hahaha....anyways like the title suggest there is always a 1st time for everything and last week I had 2 events that was my first time.

FIRST - It was MPO. So many years being a musician i have never seen a ochestra playing live before and come to think of it, it is pretty damn sad hahaha...so a whole lot of use went for this show ( cant remember the name and no its not because it was that bad ) and i enjoyed it. Although i did dose off here n there hahaha. We had to dress up like super formal in coat n all. The 3 main singers were awesome and the choir was i have to say better than HFC choir...sigh...but these ppl are I would like to believe PROFESSIONALLY trained...hahaha wherelse the HFC choir is just a group of guys n girls coming together and singing their hearts out for the greater glory. Anyways the violins were stunning and now i finally understand what my piano teacher wanted when she yelled at me MARK SOFTER SOFTER....just a rough idea of how the dinamics are...when they say soft it means to the extend of barely hearing anything but in the faint distance u can hear something...makes any sense to you? hahaha well it does to me...soooooo MPO was fun oh n it was my first time mamaking in FORMAL clothes too haha...so 2 first timers in 1 night woohoo....



SECOND - Man Utd was in town last week and they played against a Malaysian selection AND this happened on Saturday which clashed with MPO. I was a little disappointed but then again was thinkin i'll catch them the next time they come around. So the results of the match was of course quite unexpected. Malaysian hero Amri Yahya capitalized on his chances and gave Malaysia a lifeline and a chance at that game but ultimately Man Utd showed us once again why big buck players are called BIG BUCK PLAYERS only this time it came in the form of a free transfer agent...=)....I only manage to know the result of the match the following day which is a Sunday and flipping thru the pages something caught my eye... MAN UTD. TO PLAY A REMATCH WITH MALAYSIAN XI...and i was like WTF!!!! this is it...this is my second chance to watch the game LIVE...I was not going to miss out on this opportunity and after mass called that monkey finger fella and nick. Gomez agreed to go with me to Bukik Jalil to get the tics but the last minute he FFK me...=.=...so I by hook or by crook was going to go get the tics. I left my house at about 3pm and reached Bukik Jalil Stadium at about 3.20pm and when i saw the line, instincts kick in and i slow jog towards the line...looking to my right a couple was staring right at me n i staring right back at them thankfully the girl tak boleh lari so i made it to the line first hahaha....so Singaporean Kiasu Mentality...hahaha....


From where i stood when i got there


So there i was lining up infront of that couple...=)....under the hot sun hoping that the line would thin out fast...and then it hit me...why is it taking ppl so long to get the blady tics when all they have to do is say how many ppl...its not like they were at the movies trying to decide what show to watch...=.=...thanks to that Gomez fella i had to wait there alone...=(...but for Man Utd. I was willing hahaha....anyways after about 40 minutes or so...which is relatively a short time but since the sun was blazing it'll be categorized under LONG WAIT...so after the long wait the line then look something like this


40 minutes later


When I took the pic at this position there was this fella on the other line suddenly said "WHAT SOLD OUT" I was like Fish la Fish...i waited under the HOT sun for so LONG all ALONE then the bugger say sold out...first thing that came to my mind was...KILL GOMEZ...2nd was....well...nothing actually hahahaha....luckily for GOMEZ the fella repeated himself again this time sayin " WHAT the 308 SOLD OUT"...and i was like phew the RM 308 tics is it...sigh...its not good you know give ppl this kinda shock...especially when there are lives on the line...so a few minutes later, with ticket in hand and smile on face and satisfaction at heart...I couldn't wait to watch Man Utd play...the thought of seeing Rooney and Ferdinand and Evra and the whole lot of them play was ORGASMIC...hahaha....



MATCH DAY - So then match day came and the whole lot of us decided to be there 3 hours before the match...by the time we reached the stadium which was at 5.20pm the crowd outside the gate was like this (picture doesn't wanna come unto blogger) it wasn't the largest crowd i've seen in 1 given area but it was sure good to see so many Man Utd fans hahaha....anyways the game was good, the atmosphere was awesome...Man Utd....ahhhh....still my favs....and to sum it all up just watch the 2 videos below....So on MATCH DAY it was my first time going to a footbal game...it was my first time watching Man Utd play LIVE!!!....it was my first time gathering with so many Man Utd fans...it was my first time doing a mexican wave with thousands of ppl hahaha....all in all that weekend was a nice change for the normal weekends i have been having...so thats all from this post watch the videos...=) cheers





ps - blogger doesn't wanna cooperate with me so i cant upload the videos now...sorry for any incovenience caused...

The Silence Is Broken

OK finally i have enough of inspiration to write just a weee bitt hahaha...I've been kept shut by the plain fact that nothing much has been going on in my life...everything is or should i say was same old same old...But recent events have made me bring out the thinkin box

I have been struck dumbfounded a few times in the past week. I was once again reminded of how interesting and unique homo sapiens are. How some believe that when the going gets tough on one side just switch to the other. How decisions are made without thinking of the repercussions.

We all have made decisions in life....some very significant some less significant. Some ppl look at all their options before choosing what would suit them best and disregard others. Some would just make decisions without thinkin twice or the repercusions it'll bring after making such a decision. It is definately undeniable that we control our lives, yes and yes we dont have to care about what others think about who we are and what we do or how we express ourselves. Honestly, i do believe in this too but everything comes with a limit. When we make decisions that are life altering, it does not just alter YOUR life it changes the lifes of the ppl around you. Talking about change, ppl change for a reason or two, perhaps it was an event that happened to them personally or perhaps the change really isn't in others.


How do i know what i'm doing in life is right, how do i know this is the right path...these questions have most definitely been on our minds unless you really are so blatantly ignorant to where you are headed in life. My answer to these questions would be...look at how ppl around you are reacting. Reacting to the decisions you make, the lifestyle you live, the way you bring yourself cause i believe that every action we take has an equal reaction. It is simple physics but it sure can be applied in our daily life. I'm not trying to say that we have to be self conscious all i'm saying is that sometimes when we keep asking questions like why is this happening to me, why are ppl treating me like this, why is my life heading in this direction...maybe it's only fair to take a step back and just think...are my actions causing this? or am i just caught up in the middle of a situation.

I've been sitting back and watching and the sights i'm seeing are not gettin any prettier. Can i do something about it...perhaps...Responsibility is a word that is very under rated. Maturity is even more more MORE under rated.

Being responsible and matured doesn't mean old and boring... they are not synonyms agree with me or disagree with me i wanna hear all about it. Asking me for knitty gritty details i'm just going to say sorry. Has the recent events in my life compelled me to write this post YES.
So that will be all from me now i really wish i could write more but let me go think first before i come back....hahaha...Cheers!!
