Finding Neverland (Review)

Johnny Depp adopts an Irish or issit Scottish?(wateva) accent in this marvelous story of how one man's imagination brings hope to a troubled widow and her 4 children....Kate Winslet gives a truly moving performance as a widow trying her best to raise her kids on her own...but the best performance comes from Freddy Highmore who plays Peter...a confused and angry child who cant bring himself to accept his father's death...he really pushed the boundaries of his age with his amazing performance...and bear in mind he's just 13!...i hafto admit i was almost in tears watching the movie...truly dreams can come true if u hope and believe!

Finding Neverland absolutely derserves its Oscar Nominations....good luck to JD and KW!

Pirates Of The Carribean: And The Movies

I cant help it!....ive just completed downloading Finding Neverland, Raging Bull, A Bronx Tale, and The Manchurian candidate(2004)...plus i still havent watched Closer.....its been sitting in my hard disk quietly and i havent brought myself to watch it yet....been tryin to find the right time to watch it but cant seem to....

Ive just watched A Bronx Tale for the 1st time, and boy was i missing out on one of the best crime movies ever!....full review later...but the movie and soundtrack is like spaghetti with the perfect sauce...reminds me of pulp fiction and jackie brown....perfect soundtracks...well anyways im gona get down to The Manchurian Candidate 1st....see if this one is better than Frank Sinatra's version....shudnt be to bad considering the seasoned cast featuring Denzel Washington and Jon Voight...

Gona have me a movie marathon!...problem is, i can hardly open my eyes...ahaaha!

*movies 11-20 are subject to change

These movies make my list not only for their superb storyline, actors, performance, and direction...but most importantly for their fantastic music...im listening to people like Dean Martin, Aretha Franklin, and Al Green because of the awesome movies!

The 77th Annual Academy Awards is tomoro and i cant wait fer the winners to be announced...its about time Morgan Freeman and Johhny Depp received their Oscars....ive practically seen all of JD's movies and he has grown tremendously as an actor and has truly brought to life the characters he portrayed...ive just downloaded Finding Neverland and im gona watch it before i open my ears to any Oscar news...ahaha....what would we do without the movies!

Bravo To Zero

It was bloody cold and it snowed today!!...i swear it was negative but radio said it was close to zero...me boss said Londoners get pretty excited wen it snows... i was!...lol...the last time i saw snow was years ago wen my family made a trip to Switzerland...wat a great start to the week!...since im feeling so good i'll give the gym a visit...hahaha...cheers to the week ahead!

CHOWKI

No, its not a Chinese profanity....its the name of an Indian restaurant in Soho, which in my opinion has pretty good Indian cuisine despite the wee portions...decor is simple and cosy but environment is rather noisy with the contant chatter of other customers and waiters...was my 1st time there and the onli reason i chose it was bcos of a positive review i read online...and it was pretty accurate...my companion liked the place almost immediately...good enuff fer me!...

Its been a week since my last blog and loads of things have happened so far...but shud i pour out everything or retain some info?...since startin this blog last year, i still havent decided if my blog is personal of public...there are some details which i deem private and choose not to publish here...but then again, i started this blog as an outlet to vent my frustrations, likes, dislikes, and experiences...i must say this blogging business is a really good form of releasing tension...typing here is way better than getting physical...even tho i sometimes use the gym for that reason...blogs are also brilliant because u'd never know who is reading it...i'd like to think that somewhere out there, a person identifies with my experiences and is encouraged by my words...wouldnt it be brilliant if ur blog gave someone hope in this cruel and senseless world?...

Maybe im being abit dramatic but its possible...life is so short and unpredictable...seasons come and go, waters stir, beneath the earth shakes, and lives on the surface are lost everyday...yet we contantly take for granted our abilities, posessions, and people we care about...i woke up this morning and the 1st thing i did was look out the window...i was greeted by the clear sky and piercing sunlight...thank God for it!...but then not everyday is a bright and shiny experience...

Take for example relationships between men and women...full of highs and lows...oh dont forget pains and pleasures...ive had my fair share of these concoctions...and many a time ive been knocked off my bar stool...wat is it about relationships that causes these reactions?...why do we struggle to get back on the stool onli to be knocked off again?...is it possible to have a wonderful meal wit someone u really like without saying a single word?...can the silence be muted with deep rooted feelings for each other as they take each bite?...is it possible to reach that level of understanding between 2 individuals?....is that love?....what i'd give to experience it...

I guess thats wat i wanted during dinner at chowki...how i wish!...but then humans beings are inclined to be ignorant and selfish...we sometimes blame others for their lack of expression or actions when we ourselves never give a thought or effort into the relationship...many a time we feel so much but try to mask it with a false facade of empty words and faceless expressions...why isit we expect more from the other when we hardly give of ourselves?...thinking about it is like a hangover...waking up and remembering nothing of the night before, and all that remains is a bitter taste in your mouth...i dont want hangovers...i want what every other person wants...just to love and be loved...

For the person i had so many meals with, for the days and nites out, and for way u look at me...it never fails to create a minor cardiac arrest...lyrics that express all i fail to say and do...


Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infintely true

CHORUS:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

CHORUS 2x:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

It's all because of you 4x

Happy? Chinese New Year

Its the start of the Chinese New Year...am i feeling excited? NO...am i looking forward to many sumptous dinners with family and friends? NO...am i gona receive red packets with money in them? NO...am i gona light up 8 feet firecrackers? NO...do i sound a wee bit depressed? YEESSSS !!!....why?...BECAUSE IM STUCK IN AN ENGLISH GHETTO THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM HOME !...

Lets have a flashback of wat i did since the start of CNY...i had onli ONE dinner on the eve of CNY wit fellow Malaysians...ok that was a pretty good nite...in the days that followed, i did absolutely nothing except torture myself at the gym, watch movies, and feel sori for myself...worst still, i had a pathetic Valentines Day cos the gal i wanted to meet stood me up...tell me wat could be worse than mustering up all ur courage and energy to express yourself to her onli to reach the agreed location and find out she's left the area...WAT THE F@#$!!!....im seriusly trying to hold back the profanities here...sigh...is this the story of my life?...im starting to think it is...

But then i had a good week before CNY...Edwin came over to visit...we didnt manage to do much around town but we did have good conversation and he updated me on the happenings back home...right now im going thru a different phase in life and the decisions i make will decide my path and most probly my future...i'll be graduating in a few months and i haf the stressful task of lookin fer jobs and goin thru the whole selection and interview process...i also haf the added pressure of achieving a certain set of results to qualify fer the jobs...i know all this is a part of life but i somehow dread it...life seems so much simpler and carefree wen ur younger....sometimes i think ive grown up too fast...its ironic that we try to act and look older wen we are young, and then wen we grow up, we wana become young again...but by Gods grace i know it'll all work out somehow...

So right now ive gotta concentrate on my new term and make sure i loose 1 kg so i can get that 6 pack ive always dreamed of...also need to work on the chest...in fact i can feel it shaping up...ahaaha...Cheers gym goers!!

Valentine's Day Movie Review

Firstly i must thank my friend, The Procrastinator's for reccomending this movie to me...wat movie?...Before Sunset...staring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy...to quote him, 'its a pure NATO movie'...meaning No Action Talk Only...

Now when i 1st read that, i told myself this would be one of those boring and monotonous romance flicks with corny lines and silly destinations as backgrounds...man was i wrong....for me, this is the best NATO romance movie ive ever seen!...the movie takes place with onli about 6 different backgrounds!...all in Paris itself...but it wasnt the simple background that got my attention....it was the conversation between the two of them that drew me in...the chemistry was just flowing!....honestly the most down to earth, simple yet stimulating converstation between 2 individuals who havent seen each other for 9 years...in fact the Before Sunset is the continuation of the 1st movie Before Sunrise, which was filmed exactly 9 years before!....

What i really loved about the movie was the tiny details of expression while they were talkin...their presence onscreen was so reaslistic u could actaually feel their characters and their urge to express themselves....just brilliant....

Honestly the best romance title for this Valentines Day...dont wait until its too late to express urself...sori i mean watch the movie...

Cheers lovebirds!

Requiem For A Dream(Review)

Ah the wonders of the Internet....beneficial or hazardous?...maybe good for some evil for others....text, images, and video all accesible at a click of a button....since there isnt a governing body to control the Internet, we are free to 'browse' and download all we like..

Wat am i getting at?...FILESHARING...ive admitted being a movie pirate and ive yet again outdone myself by downloading 10 movies this week...my usual average is 4...nothing great compared to some who download for a living...having access to almost any sort of movie has greatly opened up my eyes both figuratively and literally...

Take for example the movie i just watched, Requiem For A Dream...i was pretty speechless because of the mind numbing reality the show displayed...in fact i half wished i hadnt downloaded it...but then it is a good movie as much as i hate to admit... i'd strongly recommend this movie for anyone who is taking any form of drug inappropriately...to others, get urself ready cos this is one powerful movie...its pretty disturbing because it focuses on real issues that affect real people and their loved ones...just watching all of them suffer because of their addiction is extremely gripping and heart wrenching...this movie shows the extreme end of wat can happen if we give in to our temptations...watch it and make sure u learn a good lesson...

All in all, excellent cast and performance...read more about the cast here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180093/....

p.s. This movie is serius adult stuff...so watch it without minors around..uve been warned

Old School

Just got of MSN...had a brief but nostalgic chat wit former Samadians( Sultan Abdul Samad High School/SAS)...havent spoken to them in ages...and i mean ages...talkin to them brought back so many memories from school...memories of the crazy things we did, the things we went thru, the meaning of friendship and loyalty...to me, we were like brothers...even now....even tommorow and the day after

For those who know me well, explanation isnt neccesary...but for the benefit of others, i was in SAS for 3 years before shifting to Catholic High School in my 4th and final year in high school...i wont go into details why i shifted...to be brief, i wasnt exactly a very well behaved student and i got into a sack full of shit which resulted in my need to change schools...my days in high school was like a rollercoaster ride...but no doubt the best ride of my teenage years!...

My years in SAS was the best time of my teenage life...my mates and me never studied, always skipped classes, harassed the gals with water, got into loads of fights, got our asses whipped everyday...and we did it again the next day...we were kings at school and even the teachers closed one eye when we waltz in and out of classes while they were teaching...wasnt a surprise that all our attendance were marked even tho were were never dere...courtesy of the class president...lol...

The onli teacher we were afraid of was Mr Lee(Rest In Peace)...Mr Lee was the the drill sergeant, he was Dr Jekyll and Hyde, he was the Sauron of our fair school...who is he?...Mr Lee was the disciplinary teacher of SAS...and the meanest and baddest teacher that ever walked thru Sultan Abdul Samad High School...he used to carry this massive rotan(ratan stick) to whip any undiciplined ass...i used to get whipped almost every day...he even whipped the school prefects!...that grimy old bastard!...he took his job so seriusly he used to ride his bike thru the school rounding up misfits and students who 'Ponteng kelas'(skipped class)...and all the while he would have his massive stick at the back of is shirt like a samurai sword...man, he just lived to whip ass...and if u really pissed him off, he would whoop ur legs instead...the bruise would last a week!...he was still at SAS when i left for Catholic High School....few years later i attended his funeral...seems his heart gave way(no surprise there)...anyways when i reached the funeral, the were tons of students there!...and most of them were the guys who were always at the receiving end of his stick!...Mr Lee was feared and maybe hated, but he was respected and had a huge impact on our days in SAS...i guess he'll just leave us with painfull but sweet memories of his legacy as the hardest stick ever...Rock on in Heaven Mr Lee!...

But the best part of high school were the times my mates and me hung out and the stuff we did together...those were the days...that was almost 8 years ago...now it seems so far away...sometimes i feel ive gotten old too fast...ppl i used to be so close to are distant strangers too far to reach...time really flies...in a couple of months i'll be graduating from Uni and working... and my experiences in Uni will be another memory...more bittersweet memories for the years to come...hopefully we remember each other and make an effort to hold on to these memories and the friendship we have... how sad our lives would be without friends...SAMADIANS FOR LIFE


*for all former SAS students out there...keep your friends close, Samadians closer*


btw, the movie Old School is pretty funny...cheers!

Friends, Food, and Bristol

Ok im finally bak to the hustle and bustle of east london...spent my whole weekend in Bristol visiting Bofeng and his frens who came down to london last year...managed to tour the city centre(Bofengs a good tour guide)...shud haf tipped him...hahaha...Qiyin and her friend came down from Manchester as well...was kinda like old times...conversation was brilliant...the rest of my time there was filled with eating a fusion of jap and chinese food which included spicy vegeterian noodles at Wagamama, fantastic roast duck at Fuchsia and overloading myself with Smirnoff at Janet's house...felt quite bad cos i puked all over her back yard...but nothing compared to the rest...lol...and on the last nite Pinky, Ava, and Edmund cooked dinner fer us...it was simple but the best homecooked chinese meal i had since i came to UK...we had lotus soup!..i hadnt had soup that good fer ages!...now i kinda wish i had chinese gals living at my hall to cook fer us...lol

Oh yeah, managed to visit a few 300 yr old museums and the Bristol Cathedral...seems Uni West of England(Bofeng's Uni) has their Law Convo there...the cathedral dates bak to the 12th century...awesome venue!...UWE's campus is really dead...but their bar is pretty darn cool cuz they have huge lcd screens which show football matches....

All in all i had a relaxing time...its good to move away from the mad rush of london once in awhile...i didnt get to meet up with everyone i planned to but theres always next time...a return tcket is onli 4 pound...by the way, i swear the bus driver was half asleep on the way to Bristol, cos the bus was swaying from left to right on the motorway...but everything turned out just fine...will definately go back again....for now i gotta get ready fer Edwin...he'll be in london this thursday...hopefully he remembers the cdr's....I NEED EMPTY CD'S !!...ive got 1 gig left on my laptop...courtesy of too many movie downloads...ahhaa....its gona be anoder great weekend!!...cheers!!
