Super 8 (2011)

On a serious note, classic case study of Jack of all trades, master of none. Could have been top class in 1 particular genre, but it crossed over 10 genres. What a pity, could have scored a 9/10 instead of now 7.5/10.

Doesn't matter. It's overwhelmingly entertaining though. Must watch.

2011金曲奖最佳单曲 - 给自己的歌

李宗盛 :
"想得却不可得, 你奈人生何."

近一世纪了, 其影响力仍有余威.

10+岁听, 不知所云.
20+岁听, 似懂非懂.
30+岁听, 嗡嗡作响.
40+岁听, 沉默不语.
50+岁听, 一笑置之.

Pressured

It's never about pride and glory, it's about delivering under pressure.

Worst than public speaking.

千金難買2nd Verse

张宇 :
"...是你的都在原地等你
啊~
不要再傷我的心..."

啊~ ~ 神来之笔.

Athens City

Albert Einstein :
"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."

Simplicity is the final form of self-actualization, in my opinion.

Freedom might be the contender.

Anonymous Statue of Hydra Island

What do you do when you've had a shit*y day?

Publilius Syrus :
"Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm."

Calm down.

Trust a few

William Shakespeare :
"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."

I thought you're my few, obviously I'm not your few.
Obviously I'm hurt.
You'll never realize why's that such a big fuzz. This hurts the most.

Gladiator (2000)

I wish I were actor for a minute.
I just wanna pretend I'm Maximus and fu*k out the line below.

Can't think of other comments other than Fu*king Cool & 帥毙了.

Maximus :

"Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife.
And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

孟子 :
"故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，
行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。"

First Blood (1982)

Rambo :
"Don't look at me, look at the road! That's how accidents happen."

Action genre in it's purest form.

Stallone's emotional breakdown scene in the end proves he's actually underrated. Give the man some recognitions.

My Written Proof of Life

I used to earn from writing movies/sports articles for *洲*報 and 全**.

Damn confined and stressed.

So this blog will serve as my private free-flow diary. When I leave this beautiful world, other than my insurance and my family/friends' celebration, here will be my written proof of life.

I want to remind myself of what am I experiencing everyday. Writing helps.

Hydra Island, Greece

Some places are meant to be scenic, regardless of how hopeless is my photo-taking skill and how low-class is my camera.

Sometimes we've gotta focus on securing the better scenes instead of chasing for a DSLR or not.

Work on our intention, we'll eventually succeed no matter how.

So-Long Mamak

I'm worried for Mamak stalls.

People nowadays won't mind paying double in Oldtown, Papparich and Station One, in exchange for better security, atmosphere and Wifi.

Financial Planner

Only difference between financial planning for a person and for Bolehland - Bolehland doesn't employ a licensed financial planner.

My planner will definitely cast his wrath at anyone who over-spend in Facebook advertising, Umno Building's electricity and Obedient Wives' Club campaign.

Must hire a licensed financial planner.

I can refer my planner for the sake of love for Bolehland, if Bolehland doesn't mind. Don't get me wrong, I've got no ill intention. Sincerely just wish to help.

At All Cost

Just passed by the magnificent Umno Building along Jalan Kuching at 0145am.

I gotta quickly park by the roadside and scrutinize the clips carefully. There must be some extremely crucial messages they're trying to convey at all cost.

I'm sure I can decode the message, please grant me more time.

我們小時候

Tank:

"回憶起我們小時候, 閉上眼睛就能感受."

温故知新.

2013?

房地产分析师:

"房市最糟情况或2013年出现."

养兵千日,用兵一时.

When You Believe

Theodore Roosevelt :
"Believe you can and you're halfway there."

Such powerful statement! It simply means when you believe, hard enough, you're already 50% of where you wanna be/go/do. Don't think too much, just believe.

I believe I can _____________________________ . Fill in the blank.

Marathon Man (1976)

Dr. Christian Szell (Villain #34 in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes & Villains) :
"Is it safe?" (Quote #70 in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies Quotes)

My balls drop in this famous scene. Such a bad a*s.

Malaysia’s Obedient Wives Club

Rohaya Mohamed (Club’s president) :
“A man married to a woman who is as good or better than a prostitute in bed has no reason to stray. Rather than allowing him to sin, a woman must do all she can to ensure his desires are met.”
R.I.P Malaysia's women.

Sidney Lumet (1924–2011)

R.I.P.

Thanks for making my all time favourite movie - 12 angry men (1957).

You are Surrounded

I'm totally surrounded by all these when I'm on top of Acropolis.

Though you can really feel/sense that financial problem has taken toll, Athens is still a great city.

Didn't Expect that

Athens, surprisingly if minus away all those grand heritages, feels almost like Bangkok/K.Lumpur. Perhaps not even as hype and as warm, it feels pretty run-down.

Now I know what Greece's bankruptcy's all about.

Almost Famous (2000)

Emotionally a very intimately made movie. Awesomely connected with the finest human touch that has moved me in between tears and laughter for 2hrs.

I'm intimately touched, like touched by my underwear. Not many can touch me as closely.

一线之差

Over-expressing yourself (showboat) and expressing yourself wholeheartedly can be mixed up sometimes.

认为张学友唱歌油腻的大有人在.

How to Upgrade Movie?

The most euphonic music/sound upgrades movies to higher level and connects you with stories so deep that it delivers goosebumps even into your spine.

Titanic, Last of the Mohicans, Once, Almost Famous, Requiem for a Dream, Donnie Darko, Braveheart, 28 Days Later... would all suffer partial disability if not for those brilliantly composed/mixed pieces.

I might forget what Last of the Mohicans is all about, but its sound's tattooed in me forever.
