Hellboy II: The Golden Army

This is not in my list.. I don't really like the look of Hellboy, his face, his color, his body and the pair of ugly honks, just Yak!! but at least I decided to watch after heard good feedback from friends who watched it and even the reviews in newspaper seems ok too..

Nothing much to expect for the story of the movie.. what I am expecting is the special effects like the monsters they have created in the movie.. I saw the tree monster during the preview which is really impressive, it is huge in size.. but not really powerful.. haha!! Have to mention here, at the final part the awaken of the golden army is brilliant.. they are really fighter, they will assembling themselves after they have been coop into pieces.. so basically they won't die.. they will only can be turn off.. scary..
One funny thing in the movie is everybody seems falling in love here.. beside Liz is having baby and Hellboy gonna become a father.. Abe Sapien has falling in Love with Princess Nuala as well.. Hellboy and Abe Sapien get suffered because of love, so both of them drinking beers and listening to love song.. haha!! that's really human instinct..

Overall it is an entertaining movie.. if you found 'The Dark Night' is boring then I am sure you will like this one... simple story and less talking.. with more actions and more monsters around.. haha..

The Dark Night


The 'Joker' which played by the late Health Ledger is the most outstanding role in the movie, he even scared you while he is talking..

I saw some good reviews of this movie in newspaper and this movie hit No.1 in US blockbuster for the second week.. but on the other hand, those friend who have watched this movie gave a so-so or bad review of it.. and most of them complained that Batman talk too much in the movie.. haha!! is it Batman not suppose to talk beside saving people life..??

My conclusion is.. I like this movie!! to me it is a good movie.. it shows that Batman is also a human being after he took off his Batman outfit.. Batman does get injured (like biting by dogs.. haha!!) and not a unbeatable super hero.. personally I quite like the actor Christian Bale as Batman, he does have the smart and charming look and he does a great job in the movie too.. wondering why most my friends said he is not good looking..?? but to me he is, not to say good looking but he is more into charming..!!

The most outstanding role in the movie.. no doubt is the Joker which played by the late Heath Ledger (who died in January 22 this year and prescription drug overdose at age 28).. his acting is brilliant in the movie, not to say his scary makeup but the way he talks will make you feel scared as well, especially when he said 'why you are so serious..??' and started to cut the people lip.. yak!! yak!! Heath is a great actor, for those who have watched 'Brokeback Mountain' sure will agreed with my point.. such a waste that he finished his life at so young age..

Another thing that friend talking about is the Batman's car.. all said very ugly.. if compared to those previous Batman's cars, no doubt this is an ugly one.. its more like a tank then luxury car which Batman used to drive before.. but on the other hand I like the car because it looks more solid then those luxury one.. opss.. another complain from friends is the main actress is not pretty, well.. I have to agreed with this point.. haha!!!!

Overall it is a good movie for me.. I am ok with too much talking in the movie because they are not talking nonsense.. oh ya!! before I forgot, they do said the movie is too long as for 2.5 hours.. I do saw a guy still sleeping when the show is finished even the light has turned on in the cinema.. haha!! hopefully you are not gonna be like him while watching the show..

what an unlucky Friday 25Jul2008..

25 July 2008 was really an unlucky day for me at work.. I was in our office off site (which mean the place for our office operations if there is a disaster happened..) since early morning to setup the testing environment for coming testing in August with vendor.. but damn!! there are lots of problem we encountered, one after another.. till at the end we couldn't complete and have to go back and continue it this week..

Firstly, we encountered the USB tokens that we bought from supplier are not the correct type.. OMG!! we have got it few months back and no one realised it is not the correct format until we wanna test it.. I was so damn angry and ask my colleague in office to check out with the supplier.. and they promised to issue us the correct one by today.. hopefully no delay else its gonna delay the setup process again..

Second problem.. we can't login into the system after the new software applied in the system.. OMG!! this one is even more headache.. we been tried to trace the problem but still couldn't find the reason behind.. we both getting frustrated, especially me.. its gonna be a very tedious job if need to re-do the whole process.. finally we manage to solve it by the help from vendor.. thanks god!!

third problem.. after we manage to log in then we noticed that the new patches that given by vendor having problem.. this is really ridiculous.. usually they will test the patches before they release it to us.. but what happen this time.. well, again they promise will email the fixes over the weekend...

Well.. this three problems drag us till almost 7pm that day.. I was damn tired and couldn't make it to my yoga class.. so I just back to office and rest because have to attend friend's birthday party in one of the pub.. mentally and physically tired.. can't really drink much that night and not in the mood to dance also.. my mind just thinking to leave and go home for a hot shower and sleep..

I wish I can fly away..

Part of the Himalayas in Nepal near Kathmandu.. can you see the beauty and feel the peaceful of it?? (photo taken on insight the aircraft on our way back to KL from Nepal, Nov 2003)

If I have a pair of wings.. I wish I can fly away from here.. fly away from the place which given me a lot of suffers especially mentally and make me so fragile.. even causing my body feeling so weak.. Where would I wanna fly to.. I would like to fly to Nepal.. one of the holy land in earth which surrounding by Himalayas (the highest mountain range in the world).. I have seen the beauty and peaceful of the mountains on my previous trip.. sure I can find my mentally and physically freedom there.. a peaceful mind and stronger body is what I am looking forward now..
I don't think I have the ability to climb to the peak of Everest in my current life.. so I just have to dream of having a pair of strong wings and flying to there.. I know I am silly but at least I have this dream.. a silly dream..

Bad things happened lately..BLESS ME..

when we are lost we need someone to give us energy and guidance.. leading us to the right path in order to see the light of our live again.. (photo taken in Kathmandu, Nepal back in Nov 2003)

So much bad things happened lately to me.. It really makes me feel so down and depressed.. and due to the feeling of depressed my sore throat and cough has not been fully recover even after a week.. finished all the medicines given by doctor.. controlling what I am eating, mostly no chili and no ice drinks.. but still the thing won't go away from me.. it really makes me PISS OFF and I started to eat chili, fried foods and ice drinks regardless the pain and suffers, since I have been a good boy but it is not helping, so I don't bother anymore.. let it pain and let me cough.. friends said I am like giving up myself!! but I am not.. I just feel piss off and wanna challenge (or my friend said torture) myself, haha.. I went for second doctor and started the medicines again.. hopefully this round will help.. BLESS ME..!!

I got an offer of new job somewhere beginning of last week.. everything seems so smooth during the final interview and I am sure I will get the offer.. but who knows.. I missed it due to the urgency of the new position and they can't wait me to report to work in September and insist me to start in mid of August which really impossible because of the situation of my current job.. I just don't want things to be left half way and leave.. some friends said just go and don't care so much.. but.. but.. it just not the way I handle things, not try to be professional.. just wanna be responsible.. when I think back now, of coz I feel wasted of the chance but indeed.. I know I still can survive with my current job although it is a hard time in my current company.. BLESS ME AGAIN..!!

The worst one happened on last Saturday night while I am crossing the road in front of Lot 10 around 1am after movie.. I bet you all know it is a one way direction now but once I step my foot to cross a motorbike hit me from my back (opposite direction..) WTF!! it is a one way road.. WTF with the motorbike doing..?? the two fucking malay boys on the bike and just looking at me, not even say sorry.. since thing happened in the flash I was totally unconscious and mind is stop functioning.. I feel pain on my face because hit by the fucking helmet and my right lap.. I just said this is a one way road, why they came from opposite direction..??) and the two BABI malays just said they want used short cut and then just left not even with a fucking sorry!! I was so lucky because I didn't fall.. else will be getting more serious.. I was standing there for about 10 mins and couldn't move because of the pain but at last I still manage to walk.. I didn't sleep well whole night partly because of the pain on my lap, but mainly is due to the worried of my leg whether I still can go for my yoga and gym.. haha!! the pain is still there in next morning but no swollen.. I still manage to walk, just it will get more painful when I wanna bend my knee especially going up and down of staircases.. I didn't go for doctor because I don't know which one to go for..?? some said go for x ray, some said chinese doctor, some said bones specialist.. so damn many ideas but make me so damn confusing... back to work on Monday although leg is still pain while walking.. finally go to see the doctor for his advise.. he said no need x ray and just something to do with the muscle and veins.. gave me some gel to massage and some medicines to release the pain.. and one more thing he highlighted.. no gym and no exercise at least one week..!!! ahhhh... one week no gym.. so damn boring.. anyway I have decided to go gym but not doing any cardio and classes.. just focus on my upper body.. better then nothing ha!! BLESS ME AGAIN.. AND AGAIN..!!!

Went to temple during lunch yesterday and it is 'Guan Ying festival' day.. pray with my heart to ask for the 'Guan Ying' to bless me and to bring me good luck and protect me.. manage to spoke to the person in charge there and she advised me not to be too depressed and talk to 'Guan Ying' what I want to do.. I talked and pray.. mentally I feel release after the pray and communication with 'Guan Yin'.. there are free vegetarian meals provided in the temple and lot of prayer enjoying their meal after the praying, I do enjoyed the meal too..

I really hope the good luck is coming to me, I had enough of bad things lately.. I will stay strong and face the situation now and try to fix each of them all the way..

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The trailer of the movie seems exciting.. so for sure we won't miss this one.. We didn't go to the 3D version and a bit regretted because we should go for the 3D version since a lot of parts in the movie is very exciting and I am sure it will be lot of fun with 3D version.. especially the roller coaster part.. maybe I should go for the 3D version later..

The feedback of the movie is 'Mixed'.. one of my friend said it is just like a kid's movie and some said it is an exciting movie.. to me I will say it is an exciting movie and I enjoy the movie.. my favorite part in the movie is the roller coaster part and the way they shooting this part is just like we are sitting in the roller coaster.. that's why I am sure it gonna be very exciting in 3D version.. beside that the fishes which try to attach them in the sea and the dinosaurs (sea monster) in the sea are damn exciting too.. the T-Rex is less exciting because it has been appeared in so many movie.. haha..

While watching the movie, I have the feeling like we are actually playing computer game, the three roles in the movie are just like moving from one stage to another and they can't predict what they will face in each stage..

Overall, it is an entertaining movie and it is really suit for a whole family to watch the movie together and I am sure the kids will have lot of questions to ask while watching the movie.. haha..

recycle / reusable bag

Do you guys notice that more people are carrying those green or brown recycle/reusable bag for their grocery shopping lately..?? I have noticed that when I was in pasar malam on sunday night.. those who are carrying recycle/reusable bag are mostly aunties who went to pasar malam to buy their grocery or foods.. not even aunties, I saw a few guys carrying that too.. that's a good sign.. recycle/reusable bag are for everyone regardless your sex and age as long as it is usable for you.. I even seen a guy use recycle/reusable bag in the gym.. really good sign!!

I ask my friend to carry that for his pasar malam shopping but he told me that he needs plastic bags for his rubbish at home.. when I think back, true also.. dilemma ha.. how to decide.. however we should be encouraged to carry recycle/reusable bag because that's one of the way we can reduce the usage of plastic bag and to protect our earth.. get a recycle/reusable bag and use it whenever you think it is usable.. I am sure if everyone trying to do that sure we will reduce the usage of plastic bag.. then we can live in a healthier and better world..!!
