Transformers Fanboy

2011-07-13T00:58:00.000+08:00

So, yeah... Transformers had been released for a few weeks now.
But I am not quite a fan of Transformer movies.

I dislike Transformers 3. The reason is because Megan Fox was not in it!?

And the movie quality that I watched was so poor.
Don't Ask..Don't Tell
=)

Actually, I just can't understand the fun of watching a bunch of robots fighting.
I like the theme song though and also of course the Transformers toy models...

Now... where did I place them?

Inception

2010-08-19T02:32:00.001+08:00

I know I have not been post anything lately. Well, there is not much going on lately. The Earth is still circling the Sun and the Earth is still turning around 360 degree, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

Life 'goes on' on this little planet we call 'Earth' ...

Jokes aside, Inception movie deserves a mention because errr....Leonardo Dicaprio is still very charming? Actually because I like his acting skill and second because the movie itself is interesting. "The whole concept of planting idea on people mind".

Oh well, that what our Big Bro has been doing all these time. We are lead to believe what our government want us to believe. Everything we see from the newspaper, TV news and hear from radio is a lie..

Oh wait, I am copying the quote from Die Hard 4.0. Yeah right, so unoriginal..=)

How I miss the yester-year where I used to have tons of fun 'till the end of time', from playing Unreal Tournament, moved on to Warcraft, then to Maple Story, next to GG.com, many mores and finally Sudden Attack.

At one time or another, I was addicted to one those stuffs and still I am. I begin to realise this was a waste of time, that may hinder my ambitious dreams..but at the same time I need an outlet to express my feeling and release my stress.

These games are so powerful that it plants the idea of an ideal world inside my mind. Wishing that I could hide inside these virtual world.

Will my determination to succeed (realizing my dreams) be stronger than my lust for these games?
Will I be the 'architect of the dream' rather than the 'dreamer'?

I was rooting for Attila The Junior...but then Rome FTW!!

2010-06-24T23:11:00.000+08:00

If there is one movie that is able to shake up my loyal support for my favorite character, it is Attila The Hun movie. At the beginning of the movie, I was rooting for Attila until Flavius Aetius, the Roman general came into the picture. I guess part of the reason is because Attila the Junior looked cute at the start of the movie. He was just a kid before he outgrew his cuteness, becoming a barbarian. Okay, forget about what I said...he was already part of the barbarian tribe.

The plot started to grow interesting. The uneasy friendship between Attila and Aetius, which later ended up in rivalry as both are fighting each other in the name of their empire - The Hun and The Roman empire. I admire Aetius for his military strategy and his undying loyalty to the Western Rome, though Western Rome has a weakling as a Emperor.

Attila looked unstoppable, threatening the Eastern Rome. Aetius came to the Eastern Rome without any additional legion or money to spare, but he devised a plan to kill Attila. Knowing that Attila would be interested in a blonde woman, who bear similarity to his deceased first wife, Aetius recruited a blonde woman to kill Attila. This woman was supposed to marry Attila but the marriage has to be postponed until after Attila's Western Rome campaign.

After hearing that Attila would be attacking Western Rome soon, Aetius asked The Eastern Rome empire to join forces to defeat Attila. However, the emperor of Eastern Rome sarcastically wishing Aetius, 'Best of Luck'.

Finally, the long awaiting battle between Aetius and Attila materialized. It was a bit of luck and skill that made the difference, Aetius, Western Rome won but he could not pursue Attila,The Huns. Neither side has the forces to attack after the epic battle. Attila was forced to go back.

In the end, the great King of Huns, Attila, was assassinated by the blonde woman whom he just married, because he was calling the woman wrong name - his deceased wife name on 'their first night'. The blonde woman did not want to poison Attila at first, but fate took a turn when Attila mistook the woman with his deceased first wife name. He really loved his first wife. Moral of the story, 'Never mistook your bed partner for other girl, it may cost you dearly - your live!'

I like the reaction showed by The Emperor of Eastern Rome, when he heard Attila was dead. He was truly rejoicing at Attila death. Attila force had been harassing his Constantinople. With Attila death, he can breathe a sigh of relief. This scene is highly recommended!! It really give rejoicing a new meaning.

The ending was sad because my new favorite character, Flavius Aetius, was killed by the Western Rome Emperor because by using back Aetius own quote,'The unnecessary must be dispensed'. With Attila is dead, the service of Aetius is no longer required or so they thought.....

Thomas Cup 2010 Quarter Final Draw Ballot Tense Moments!

2010-05-11T23:07:00.016+08:00

Malaysia Thomas Cup team has been drawn to play with Denmark team. Guess what? This draw was made by Malaysia very own VVIPs, none other than Shabery,Sport Minister and Datin Rosmah Mansor, wife of Malaysia current Prime Minister. Mr.Shabery drew the number while the latter drew the country from the ballot boxes.

The draw was carried out 'live' on the TV..and can you imagine the horror of watching the balloting process? not to mention the horror of being invited to make the draw for your own country.

The VVIPs from the host country were invited to make the draw, which included the host team.
China, Denmark, Japan and Indonesia are the winners in their respective group. The winner of each group will not meet each other.

That leave Germany,India, Korea and Malaysia (which was defeated by Japan a moment ago in their group match) to decide on the draw (which team will meet which group winner). AND no country would wish to meet the Thomas Cup defending champion, China so soon.

In the end, it left only 2 slots (China and Denmark) still needed to be filled in and only Korea and Malaysia (host) are left in the ballot box. Can imagine what thoughts crossed Rosmah mind at that very moment, when 28 million Malaysians were watching her? If Malaysia was picked to play against China, Malaysian fans will definitely blame her!! - me included. To meet China so soon is sure death. She must had wish she never came to the stadium to watch the match!

Guess what!?
She picked Korea against China. That leave Malaysia vs Denmark. =)
The Koreans (and also China) will be cursing at her. Hahaha. No team would want to meet Korea team too. They're a dangerous team to mess with.

and guess what? Together with Mr.Shabery, she heaved a huge relief after the draw. and they gave each other a 'high five' some more!! =))

On the interesting note, if I am not mistaken, the India team cheers so loud when it is announced they would be playing against Indonesia. Well, they must be so happy that they get what they wanted and will not meet China in quarter final.

Anyway it's Malaysia versus Denmark in QF, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed (jumping up and down actually, while watching the match - my andrenalin is running fast!).

Like my brother always says, 'May the best hobbits win!!'

By the way, did you know I am an ardent fan of badminton? ...and my favourite teams are China, Denmark and of course, Malaysia.

Letter To Santa Claus

2009-12-23T13:00:00.001+08:00

Dear Santa,

This year I have been a very good boy. I have stayed 'legit' when playing online games. I don't use hack or exploit glitches anymore. These days, I have also stayed 'legal'. For the past few months, I went to cinema to watch movies. I hope you could give a Nintendo Wii. Or at a very least a few @Cash cards since I always play SA. And please do not forget to top up my weekly movie allowances so that I can continue to stay 'legal' until next Christmas.

Thank you.

From,
AznFoolKid

Windows 7 Professional

2009-12-21T00:00:00.005+08:00

Ahhh..finally I decided to change to Windows 7. I just formatted my computer last friday. Installing all the softwares again took me freaking 1 whole day. Because of tat, I dint have time to play SuddenAttack. See, I am such a good boy.....=)

I thought this was a good time to format my comp because all my assignments had finished.

Here is a few solutions & tricks for Windows 7 as in my case
1. My Windows 7 Professional dont have default window games when I first run it after finish format. I went google search and saw a funny response like this in forum.
-Windows 7 Professional is for the academic purposes. Games are not included because
students dont have time to play.
-I was like WTH...Is this true? I was star-strucked. Actually this is not true. Every window that I know do have default games that come with em.
-The solution is you need to turn on Windows Features
-Go to>Control Panel>Programs>Turn window features on or off>Tick the Games box>Ok

2. Windows aero feel is messing up my full screen game
-I was playing SA full screen using Windows 7 and suddenly my game auto minimized by itself. This happen not only once but MANY times. I was very frustrated!
-The solution>Go to Control Panel>Ease of Access>Change how your mouse works>Tick[Prevent window from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen] box

The bad thing is it downgraded my graphic card! In Windows Vista, my ATI Radeon graphic card was 4570, but in Windows 7, it stated 4500 series. I can feel the negative effect especially while playing Sudden Attack. The screen lags a bit. Like I always say, For maximum gaming experience, you need the best software and hardware.

I am impressed by Windows 7 design at first. But then, after a day, I feel bored already.

Storm Warriors

2009-12-20T23:38:00.004+08:00

Wind and Cloud ...ahh..another classic
Today, I had just watched Storm Warriors II in cinema.
I watched Storm Warriors I through TV. I would say the second one is nicer.
The special effect looked like 300, Spartas.
During one of the scene, Lord Nameless wore a mask that made him looked like Darth Vader..haha
Personally, I like Wind better than Cloud..

Yesterday, as usual went for hiking..But we were chased by mountain bikes. That is totally not usual.. Damn em.. they were super fast when they raced downhill... No Brake at all.. Cant imagine wat will happen if I were hit.. we tried to use stairs way but not every path got stairs. They should to make a different path for the bikers.
I have nothing against mountain bike..I'll also race downhill like em too if I have mountain bike. Tat will be so cool..
But then, I am a hiker here!

Climbing stairs is so so tired.

2012 - The beginning of the ending..

2009-11-29T15:39:00.002+08:00

2012 - Funny Moments

1. When they try to start up the car engine while the plane is landing (going to crash landing), the car engine couldn't be started. Then there are a lot of shouting and screaming. The boxing boss (Russian? or so I thought) asked everyone to shut up. He gently said the magic word 'Start Engine' and the car responds to his command..haha..that was so cool! super high-tech!

2. They met the Chinese army. Then, they ask the kids to say 'Hiiie' to the soldiers. The army captain asked ' What is the color of your pass?'..Then they all looked around among themselves. lolz (they dont have the pass).

3. When they met the boxing boss at airport terminal. He needs 1 more co-pilot for his big plane. And coincidentally they have the right person for it. Even though that person feels he is not qualified for it. Everyone was like 'Let's Go!'.

Last Few weeks:

1. Michael Jackson - This Is It

2. 2012

Comment: 2012 is from the same director of The Day After Tomorrow and The Independent Day. So, I was not surprised at all as the message of the movies is quite the same. When the ending is near, how would normal people like you and me going to face it? Evacuate by airplane? Only selected elite among us going to survive? Is it how it suppose to end?

SAW IV

2009-11-08T15:04:00.002+08:00

I just watch SAW IV today. I would say this is the best among all SAW movies that I watch before. I would give it 5/5 rating.

Here is some of the SAW parodies on the Youtube.

Animation Movies

2009-10-24T23:22:00.005+08:00

This week, I have just watched:
TITLE------------------------------RATING-----COMMENT
1. Toy Story 1------------------------5/5------Highly Recommended. It's EPIC!
2. Toy Story 2------------------------5/5------Highly Recommended. Juz EPIC!
3. Finding Nemo----------------------4/5------Recommended..So touching
4. Madagascar - Escape To Africa---3/5-----The songs are nice. I like to move it move it..he likes to move it move it...we like to move it move it

I used to think animation movies are bad! This is because in my opinion, they're lack of human touch or emotion. There're no real actor acted in it. Just that they lent their voices to the characters. I thought animation movies would going to destroy the movie standard.

But then, I am glad to be proven wrong. There are quite a few animation movies that are really nice. I meant it. The main thing I like about animation movies is because they are funny.

Some of the animation movies are just too EPIC. They evoke our emotion. I would vote these 3 movies as my favourites:
1) Toy Story
2) Toy Story 2
3) Up

ps: Toy Story reminds me about how I used to treat my toys..Im so bad!

Linkin Park Rocks My World!

2009-10-19T17:54:00.004+08:00

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Theme Song - New Divide(Linkin Park)

The official music video for New Divide, filmed on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, directed by Joe Hahn.

I would say Linkin Park is one of the few bands that I like the most. They have produced some of most epic songs:

Linkin Park - Numb
Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit
Linkin Park - New Divide
Linkin Park - In The End

Last week, I watched:

Surrogates is just what i wish for

2009-10-07T21:10:00.004+08:00

I just watched Surrogates this Monday. I have to thank my bro for this because of his help, I could watch it, since I am not free to do all those stuffs by myself.

It was just like what the review in newspaper said. All in all, it is worth to take off some of your time to watch it. I would give it 4/5 rating.

Surrogates is about human no longer need to step out of their house to do their daily stuffs. They could just send their surrogates to do the tasks and control their surrogates by wearing these goggle thing around their eyes from their comfort house.

Then, in the story there was a group of human who oppose the use of surrogates.
Suddenly, there were cases when surrogates were destroyed, the person who control it died for real. Guess what? The leader of human group who are thought to oppose surrogates usage is a surrogate himself!

That's pretty cool, considering I have always thought about the exact same thing, how nice was it if I have my own surrogates. Okay, I was thinking about clone, not surrogates. Those movie directors in Hollywood must have stolen my idea.

Anyway, would not this be nice if these things are real?

ABC are cool! - Rant

2009-09-24T15:34:00.015+08:00

ABC that I want to mention here is not about the alphabets thing. In case you don't know what ABC stand for, it is the short-form for (Americans Born Chinese).

Yea, America is a Land of Opportunity. That's what people call it. I find that Americans Chinese kids are not only cool, but brilliant in term of their thinking and ideas.

They made their present felt everywhere they went. They are somewhat more creative. You can see that in Youtube. There are tons of videos made by ABC. You should watch them.
I have subcribed to a number of them and generally I can categorize them to two groups.

-Chinese Americans that have been asimilated into American culture. They hang out with their American peers.
-Chinese Americans that still retain their Asian values. This group mostly hang out with other Asian kids.

I read an article in Times about ABC, Americans-Chinese, especially their kids facing stereotype situation, where they feel like they are caught in between of the two worlds, like the hyphen, neither Americans nor Chinese. Well, that is also what I felt here.

Ok, you may wonder why do I care about this thing. Well, I care because America is one of the few places where I seriously consider wanted to settle down. Maybe not my generation. But surely, I hope my kids could have a childhood like them.

-Nice neighbourhood to play (preferable got a playground or park)
-A bungalow(Ok, not necessary a bungallow, 2-3 storey house will be enough) with a compound(my mom's request-so that she can plant vegetables and fruits)
-WHERE? California?(OMG bush-fires, later my dream house went up in smoke!), Sugar Land,TX(20° -25° Celsius)? Penang(31° Celsius -OMG, I cant believe I have been living here for 20 years! No wonder I cant do anything these days. Hot and Humid. So Sleepy - Blaming the Weather). Not decided yet.

I appreciate and respect talented person for their skills and ideas. You can see that through their works. It can be manga-art drawing, sport, film-making(acting, directing) or even making simple videos like them. Editing videos and putting in the right music are hard...=.=?

They gave me inspiration for these past few years. I must strive to be successful in my life.

Youtube - Rant

2009-09-23T20:11:00.005+08:00

Hiiie stalker!..Today I am going to make a rant about Youtube.

Whattaya mean you don't know what is Youtube? Unless you have been living in a cave all these years or you're coming from the outer space or the past, then you should have seen a Youtube video before.

Youtube is a video-sharing website founded by 3 persons (One of them is a Chinese guy, I forget his name-p/s:I lazy google for it- and another one is Jawed-The first ever Youtube video was uploaded by him. The title is "Me At The Zoo". That was so craps. He should upload something better). They sold Youtube to Google for $1.65 billion. Millionaire by 30. Anyone?

Okay. Cut the bullshit. I am not going to rant about this. What I want to rant is about the copyright restriction practised in Youtube by Google. Since Google bought Youtube, they have put in this restriction. I know some people have been complaining about this thing ages ago before I did, but never mind, I still wish to put forward my thought about this thing.

I am sure some of you had experiences before where you could not watch the video due to Geographical Location Restriction. This is what we called ridiculous! It will pop up and say something like this,"This video is not available in your country". Well, why the hell can't I watch it in my country!? This basically so unfair! It discriminate against my country and it's a violation of my rights! Okay, I know Google is a US company, so maybe it's only available to those in the States. Those resides in US may never experience this before.

But then, like any users of youtube, I too unconsciously(though unwillingly) supply my personal info or usage to the Google, so that they could use this info to forward unwarranted advertisements back to me? WTH! They make million out of the advertisements.

And there are other type of restriction such as disabling the audio in youtube video. They disabled it because to them, this a violation of music copyright. My goodness, they spoilt a good epic video made by the users who spent tons of their time to edit it.

Never mind about that, you could still see the visual, though there are no audio. The worst thing is those users get warning points for uploading this so-called copyright materials and risk their account been suspended and videos removed. Dude, sooner or later, they gonna kill off this little thing that we called creativity...

and by the way, this Blogspot is also owned by Google. Damn!

Aliens Theme Movies

2009-09-22T16:33:00.008+08:00

Okay. I have been watching too much Alien theme movies lately. Well, not that they are not good(some of them are really good stuffs such as Aliens In The Attic, Race to the Witch Mountain, Independence Day)..but I get a bit feeling of 'overloaded'..These movies that I mentioned, you should seriously take off some time and watch it.

Here is a brief overview,
-Independence Day tells a story about aliens who came to Earth and tried to conquer the world. That RIGHT! The story always started like this. Then, there will be always a hero, in this case two heroes. A military guy and a genius-I forget their names ): Sorry...Never mind. Let get back to the story, the US President barely managed to get out of the White House alive in his jet. Then they headed to the Area 51...and here is the interesting part, even the US President did not know the existence of this top-secret facility where they are researching on the Aliens. He thought it was just a rumour. The ending, I think, needed no further explanation. Good guys always win!

I know some of you may have already watched the movies(because it's a 1996 production?), but then I just get the chance to watch it now. So, if you have not watch it yet, I suggest you watch it. This movies really change my perception about this whole Alien thing..many questions were raised with no answer in sight. Examples: How are our governments preparation for Alien invasion? How do we response to the invasion? Evacuate by using helicopters and jets? No way!..normal people like me and you don't have helicopter.

Aliens In The Attic: This movie was funny like hell. Wait, do hell looked funny? I don't think so. If you planning to have some good laugh, this movie is recommended. Especially the part where their grandma does her Ninja Flying Kicks on the stupid boyfriend. Seconds later, she had absolutely no clues on what had she just done!

The Race To The Witch Mountain: My first thought was this movie is about witches, riding on broom with cooking pots and of course their evil laugh (because the movie title implies about witch and that is what witch is all about to me). But then, this movie was in no way about witch. Anyway, there is also some parts in the movies which are very funny. Like....when the dog wanted to pee while Jack was driving. The dog stared at Jack with a look(I don't know how to describe it but it's funny). Then, Jack replied that he is not talking to a dog. Other than that, there are also scenes where they are been pursued by government agents, then the girl used her power to stop the cab and pick up the dog along the way, but Jack doesn't like it. He replied that he's not going to pick up 'strange' passengers anymore. Jack is the taxi driver and he has been ferrying the girl and her brother around(they are both aliens actually).

Well, that sums up how I spent my weekends. These movies are in my MUST-watch list.

Movies, movies and more movies!

2009-09-21T16:42:00.010+08:00

Last few weeks back, I watched:

-The Shortcut--------------------------------------3/5-------That was so evil
-Lost Treasure of Grand Canyon---------------2/5------Not enough hot scenes
-Ancient Aliens----------------------------------- 1/5------You call this's a movie?

I also managed to finish watching NCIS Season 6. I know it has not been released here yet. But then I could not resist the temptation of it. So, I got it from my source and watched it. Episodes after episodes in just days, unlike TV where I have to wait for an episode per week. Do not ask me where is my source.

Why I like to watch NCIS? It is because of the mystery surrounding the death and the ever quest of investigating the case to find the killer. It's intriguing and make me quite addicted to it. Always wanted to watch more. And we have also a Gothic forensic expert. Not forgetting also the legendary agent Gibbs who can only be killed by a silver bullet. Okay, please don't bother about the last part that I said.

This is one of my favourite TV series, other than Charmed.

Heil King of Pop! Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

2009-08-29T23:13:00.016+08:00

All heil Hitler! Ooppss..err...

All Heil King of Pop!..

His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with four others — Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995) — among the best selling. He popularized several intricate dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk. He is widely credited with having transformed the music video from a promotional tool into an art form, with videos for his songs "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" making him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV, and has influenced scores of music artists.

Emo Spotted!

Jackson and sister Janet angrily retaliate against the media for misrepresenting them to the public

How cute! cute kitty kitty..

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Like all Kings, Michael Jackson died early.

Twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, his other achievements feature multiple Guinness World Records — including the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" — 13 Grammy Awards, 17 number one singles (including the four as a member of the Jackson 5), and estimated sales between 350 million and 750 million records worldwide.

My King!..You shall not fall today.(Quote taken from Warcraft III)

Long Live King of Pop~!

Home Alone - Macaulay Culkin

2009-03-05T20:25:00.005+08:00

Macaulay Culkin was ranked # 2 in both VH1 and E!'s list of the "100 Greatest
Kid-Stars" and "50 Greatest Child Stars". He was also best friends with
singer/pop king Michael Jackson for most of his childhood. Culkin made an
appearance in the MJ "Black or White" music video. Credits:Wikipedia

When I was a kid, I used to enjoy watching Home Alone...and I still enjoy it. At that time, I will eagerly wait for the Christmas time so that I get to watch it.

My only access to the movies was through TV and TV will only show it during the long holiday of Christmas season. So, I waited for it yearly, wondering whether there will be another sequel to it. Yeah. Home Alone was fun! It reminded me of my own story. Childhood was carefree. Without worries and problems.

But as we grows up, it is time to take up some responsibility. Grow up, kids! >.@!

Many of the great movies including this were made in the 1990's but still as if it was only made not too long ago. As if they were captured in a time capsule, though the child actor has long grown up.

Freddie Highmore

2009-03-04T13:26:00.009+08:00

Freddie Highmore (born 14 February 1992) Valentine Day dude! He's an English actor.
One of hottest young actors these days. His accent is rather interesting and special. No wonder he got landed on many voice roles.

Movies:
(I never watch yet!-Going to watch soon-Wanted to but no time)
-Finding Neverland
-August Rush

(I have watched it and it is cool!)
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

In 2005, he played the part of Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory (adapted from the book by Roald Dahl). He was reportedly recommended for the role by the film's star Johnny Depp, who starred in Finding Neverland and
was impressed by the young actor's performance. Credits:Wikipedia

-The Spiderwick Chronicles
He plays a double role as American twins, Simon Grace and Jared Grace in this movie. This is interesting!

Edward Furlong - When The Sun Goes Down

2009-03-03T16:47:00.011+08:00

'When The Sun Goes Down' is also one of my favourite songs, sung by Edward Furlong.

Because this song does not have a cover, some of his fanatic made the video by using his pictures and the scenes from movies which he acted in.

Lyric:
Dreaming of kissing you and holding you tight
Nothing else matters when you're near me

Touching your face as I look deep in your eyes
Baby i love you - can you hear me

Here you are beside me and the world is yours and mine
I want to give my love to you until the end of time
Until the end of time

When the sun goes down - I'll be here with you
Our hearts will beat together
When the sun goes down - all I want to do
Is be with you forever
And be the one you love when the sun goes down

Deep in the darkest hour I'll take your hand
When you're afraid my love will guide you

We'll cross the deepest ocean till we reach the other shore
And when you think you're out of love
I'll give you more and more - give you more and more

There's never been another love who makes me feel this way
I'm praying that this feeling never ends
We'll hold on till the morning when the darkness goes away
Strong inside us love will guide us
To a brighter day - love you everyday

Some of you may not be awared of this. Me included.

In 1992, Edward Furlong launched a successful music career in Japan
and is still extremely popular with Japanese girls today. His debut song "Hold
On Tight" even beat Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" to #1 on the
Japanese charts.Modelled for labels such as "Gap" and Calvin Klein and has
advertised for the Japanese food company, "Hot Noodle".

At first, I also thought he was only into acting. I got to know about Edward Furlong by watching the epic T2. But later, I found out he also released a couple of songs(accidentally stumbled upon it on Youtube).

Some of the critics may not like it and even Edward Furlong, himself admit it was a mistake to venture into music(sort of denying he owns the albums...LOL), but everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

Though it never made it big in US at that time, I still find some of his songs are great, even today. Such as Hold On Tight and When The Sun Goes Down.

Lyric:
Oh yeah.
Sometimes we're feeling like the world is against us.
Sometimes it feels like we just don't stand a chance.
We find it hard to put our faith into friendship.
We find it hard to put our trust in our man.
*a line i dont know*
And I swear to the stars that I'll never make you cry.

CHORUS
Hold on tight, don't let it go.
Hold on tight, we'll make it together.
We got tonight, our feelings will show.
Listen to your heart and baby, hold on tight.
Oh yeah.

Love isn't something that you should be afraid of.
Don't treat it like a game, you lose or you win.
You shouldn't worry about the feeling of feelings.
Its not a crime baby its not a sin.
And the joy of the scene, just cant be denied.
Forget all your worries and see what you've been missing.

CHORUS
Hold on tight, don't let it go.
Hold on tight, we'll make it together.
We got tonight, our feelings will show.
Listen to your heart and baby, hold on tight.

Let me be the one you turn to to wash your tears away.
Let me give you a new begginning.
Theres nothing to fear, we'll make it I swear.
I'll show you I care, never leave you alone babe.

I'll never make you cry.
CHORUS
Hold on tight, don't let it go.
Hold on tight, we'll make it together.
We got tonight, our feelings will show.
Listen to your heart and baby, hold on tight.
And dont let it go, hold on tight, we'll make it together.
We got tonight, our feelings will show.
Listen to your heart and baby.
Hold on tight.

Empire of the Sun - A Marvelous Piece of Work

2009-03-01T01:58:00.008+08:00

As someone who is obsessed about world war 2 history, I find watching Empire of the Sun gives me a perfect picture of what it like to live at that time. Empire of the Sun is based on J.G Ballad's semi autobiography novel. It amazes me how J.G Ballad cleverly removed his parents from the bulk of the story. Steven Spielberg directed the film which stars young Christian Bale.

Empire of the Sun tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham, a young boy who goes from living in a wealthy British family in Shanghai, to becoming a prisoner of war in Japanese internment camp, during World War II.

The brilliant personal touch by Steven Spielberg and Christian Bale's acting are what that make this film looks surreal.

One of the best thing about this movie is about its Welsh song, Suo Gan. The ending part where Jamie reunited with his parents is the most EMO scene of all. You should watch it.

p/s: I couldn't find the ending scene on Youtube. It has been taken down because of copyright issue. Damn copyright.

Terminator 2 - John Connor(Edward Furlong)

2009-02-28T21:59:00.009+08:00

Of all the Terminator movies, Terminator 2 is my favourite. It is such an epic movie! Terminator 2 is always on my All Time Top 10 Movies list. Much credits have to be given to Edward Furlong who played the role of John Connor. I like his accent and the way he talks. It was very unique. Eg: Easy Money. Of Mexican descent on his mother's side. From what I learnt, he has no acting ambitions or experiences prior to T2 and even almost drop out of acting in the middle of it.

OMG! He's so HOT!

Rated #69 in VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Kid Stars".

Even today, you could find his fans on youtube and fans sites dedicated to him. Of course, now he's not as popular as he used to be and he was involved in drugs as well. As a fan, we should remember their greatest works. If only time will freeze for the moment and he stays like this forever. But I guess this is not possible.

As Time Moves On, Everybody Changed

OMG! That's so cool.

I got to have his eyes and hairstyles!

Here comes Arnold, The Terminator.

Yesteryear Movies

2009-02-27T22:19:00.009+08:00

This week, I had just watched these movies:
-Death Note: L Change The World
-Star Wars IV, V and VI
-War Of The Worlds I and II
-Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines

Last few weeks back, I watched
-Underworld 1,2 and 3
-Cyclops
-James Bond: Golden Eye, James Bond: Tomorrow Never Die, James Bond: The World Is Not Enough, James Bond: Die Another Day
-Death Note: The Last Name
-Van Helsing
-Terminator 1 and 2
-Star Wars 1,2 and 3

Yea, I was that bored. So, I spent much of my semester holiday become a movie zombie.
Actually, I have negative assumption on some movies, such as Mission Impossible, Star Wars and Terminator. I pre-judged them even before I watched these movies. Well, I don't really know why also. I guess part of the reason is because at the time of these movies production, technology was not as advance as today.

But after much persuasion from my brother, I decided to give these movies a chance. Of course, I watched them when my brother was not looking. Terminator 2 turned out to become one of my all-time favorite movies. Star Wars IV, V and VI were not so bad after-all, despite lack of visual effect. And Mission Impossible turned out to be just fine. Of all the six Star Wars movies, Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith is the best. I bet most of you would agree with me.

BoyZ, these yesteryear movies sure drive me crazy. Can't seem to stop thinking about them all the time.

Rags-to-riches story

2009-02-26T23:19:00.016+08:00

Slumdog Millionaire child actors to get new homes in India

MUMBAI (Reuters) – The two main child actors from "Slumdog Millionaire" are to receive new homes from the Indian authorities after the small-budget movie swept the Oscars, winning eight Academy Awards.

The Mumbai homes will go to Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail, who played the young roles of the movie's central characters, Latika and Salim, in the rags-to-riches romance about a poor Indian boy competing for love and money on a TV game show.

"These two children have brought laurels to the country, and we have been told that they live in slums, which cannot even be classified as housing," said Gautam Chatterjee, head of the state-run Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority.

Authorities did not say where the home would be only that the would be apartments and near a "prime location."

Ali, 8, currently lives in a tiny hovel in a rubbish strewn slum near railway tracks in India's financial hub. Ismail sleeps under a polythene sheet-covered roof in the same slum. Open sewers run nearby and both homes have no running water.

The movie, based in Mumbai which is part of Maharashtra state, took home eight awards from the Oscars including best picture and best director for Britain's Danny Boyle.

But in the leadup to Sunday's Oscars, the movie's success around the globe was overshadowed by objections in India to its name which some Indians find offensive, its depiction of the lives of impoverished Indians, and the treatment of the cast.

There was an outcry after pictures emerged of the child stars living in squalor despite the $15 million movie earning about $100 million since its North American release last November.

But since the Oscars, India's media has been caught in a patriotic frenzy and politicians have jumped on the bandwagon to praise Indians involved in the film.

Boyle and producer Christian Colson have flatly rejected claims of exploiting children for the movie.

They said the children were paid above local Indian wages and enrolled in school for the first time with a fund set up to pay for their education, medical emergencies and "basic living costs."

Fox Searchlight Pictures, the 20th Century Film Fox studio behind the film, paid for visas, travel and accommodation for nine children to fly to Los Angeles for the Oscars.

Comment: Yea, if this is true, then Slumdog Millionaire truly live up to its name. Slumdog Millionaire has lifted up the life of these slum children from poverty. From unknown kids who are picked up to play small roles in movie and later become an instant celebrity, this is truly amazing. BoyZ, imagine that - receive new homes and with a fund set up to pay for their education, medical emergencies and "basic living costs." Besides, Slumdog Millionaire has made the world aware of the plight of poor people living in slums.

This reminds me of an interview I read about Edward Furlong(who played as John Connor in Terminator 2). He was still in school when he was picked up by Hollywood casting agent to play the role of young John Connor. His life change for better, I think. After the success of T2 his mother fought a custody battle to win him back. [Credits:Sunday Herald]

Well, actually I always wonder what the young actors/actresses who shot to fame do when they are grown up. Some may be forgotten and may not be as famous as they used to be. But at least, they are immortalized in the movies and earn a place in heart of their fans, like me. Some continue to become successful in their acting career, like Christian Bale. I best remember him as the young Jim in Empire of The Sun-Steven Spielberg. His acting in that film really moved my heart. It's very emo, especially the ending. You should watch it.

Hope that they can handle their fame well. Hasta la vista, baby.

p/s: Btw, I haven't watch Slumdog Millionaire yet!

Death Note - Favourite Characters and Scenes

2009-02-25T21:56:00.012+08:00

In Death Note, L uses this symbol to represent himself to other as he solves the case.

Yea, throughout the movies you could see L sucking his thumb. A habit, huh? A cool one..

BoyZ, that stare could kill...

That better...sucking lollipop.

I like the way L purposely eating chips in front of Kira.

L is one of my favorite characters in Death Note. You know....his eyes and his hairstyle. Yeah, Asian RuleZ. I also like Ryuk, the main shinigami in Death Note series..Boyz, I got to have one of those...

Another of my favourite scenes is about Ryuk, shinigami reaction when Kira couldn't give him apple to eat, as Kira was being watched by surveillance camera.

So adorable...

I also like the scenes where L keeps staring at Kira when another murder case was reported. Kira was beside him at that time and he couldn't had use his Death Note in public to kill. So, L who has been suspecting of Kira, being the killer, was taken by surprise too when similar death by Death Note was reported.

The scene where L fell over his chair was very funny.

Could you believe such a beautiful girl is the killer?..Scary right?...=X

p/s: Damn, I has been searching for hours, a picture of Ryuk, the shinigami eating apple in movie.. Couldn't even find a decent one..

I am a fanatic of...

"Hasta la vista, baby" is a catch phrase associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger's title character from the 1991 science fiction thriller film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The American Film Institute honored the quote on 21 July 2005 by ranking it #76 on a list of the best movie quotes in the past 100 years of film. [Credits:Wikipedia]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby."

The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.

John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations.

The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad.

John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it!

The Terminator: No problemo.

Terminator: Negative. The T-1000's highest probability for success now would be to copy Sarah Connor and to wait for you to make contact with her.

John: Great. And what happens to her?

Terminator: Typically, the subject being copied is terminated.

John: Shit! Why didn't you tell me?! We gotta go right now!

Terminator: Negative. It's not a mission priority.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: You have to do what I say huh?

Terminator: That's one of my mission parameters.

John: Prove it! Stand on one foot. [The Terminator lifts one leg] Yes! Cool. My own Terminator! Wow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: Jesus, you were gonna kill that guy!

Terminator: Of course. I'm a Terminator.

John: Listen to me very carefully, OK? You're not a Terminator anymore. All right? You got that? You just can't go around killing people!

Terminator: Why?

John: Whattaya mean, why? Cause you can't!

Terminator: Why?

John: Because you just can't, OK? Trust me on this. Look. I'm gonna go get my mom. And I order you to help me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: Now, you gotta promise me you're not gonna kill anyone, right?

Terminator: Right.

John: Swear.

Terminator: What?

John: Just put up your hand and say, 'I swear I won't kill anyone.'

Terminator: [Raises hand] I swear I will not kill anyone.

[The Terminator shoots the guard in both knees]

Terminator: He'll live.

John Connor:

Easy money!
Did you call moi a dip-shit?
[About Sarah] She's a complete psycho. That's why she's up at Pescadero. It's a mental institute, OK? She tried to blow up a computer factory, but she got shot and arrested… She's a total loser.
I grew up in places like this, so I just thought that's how people lived - riding around in helicopters, learning how to blow shit up. But then when my mom got busted, I got put into a regular school. And the other kids were into Nintendo.
Miles Dyson. She's gonna blow him away!

Beautiful voice and a very touching song. Warning!! Very Addicting for the EMO.

Declan John Galbraith (born December 19, 1991, in Hoo St Werburgh, Kent) is an English singer of Scottish and Irish origin.

"It was at the The Odyssey, Belfast December 2002 when he sang "Tell Me Why" live with some 10,000 children and was also simultaneously linked, by radio and satellite, with more than 80,000 children in their schools all over the UK, who accompanied him in achieving the world’s largest choral sing."

Part 1 : Declan Galbraith - Tell Me Why

2008-12-05T17:52:00.014+08:00

In my dreams, Children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue, the fields are green
And laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need

Every day, I ask myself
what will I have to do to be a man
Do I have, to stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am
Is that what my life is for?
To waste in a world full of war

Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this
Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed
Tell me why,(why) cause I don't understand
When so many needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Just tell me why (why, why, why)

Tell me why, (why) does it have to be like this
Tell me why, (why) is there something I have missed
Tell me why, (why) cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Why why, does the tigers run?)
Tell me why (Why why, do we shoot the gun?)
Tell me why (Why why, do we never learn?)
Can someone tell us why we let the forests burn

(why why do we say we can?) tell me why
(why why is it still the same?) tell me why
(why why do we talk and run?) tell me why
can someone tell us why we let the ocean die

(why why do we always say?) tell me why
(why why do we pass the blame?) tell me why
(why why does it never rain?)
can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends

(why why do we close our eyes?)
(why why do we really lie?)
(why why do we fight for land?)
can someone tell us why cause we don't understand
why why?

The Life

2007-02-28T15:27:00.002+08:00

What lies in the path ahead
Is it fraught with obstacles
Or filled with happiness
We’ll never know, till we walk on

What if one day, afraid of the unknown
You break down, decide to stop, fall
Like others before you
When all else seems dark

When all else has long gone
Fleeting memories, long forgotten
When all that mattered to you
No longer do, anymore

Someday, maybe one day
You cry out, silently
Praying for release
From the tears coursing down your cheeks

Tired of the complicated web
People call emotions
Tired of walking on aimlessly
On the path people call life

The path everyone started out on together
And end together
What’s the point of walking on
When you know it doesn’t matter in the end

Happiness, a fleeting moment of release of endorphins
Transience, nothing lasts
Deep down, the insecurities and worries
Beneath the inscrutable mask

The hurt, the pain
Of cherishing, of feeling
Courses through the path
From the start to the end

Do you feel the darkness overwhelming you
Sunrises and sunsets, dawn to dusk
The painful cycle
Since aeons ago

You? me.
