Back to Uni again…

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Well, its that time again…long hours of boring and interesting classes…long hours of boring and fun break times and long hours of gossiping and having fun…wat a day it has been so far…yesterday was the first day and i had no class…today was my first class and our beloved dr.jega started of with his usual "and so on and so forth" and a story…thank goodness it wasnt about his family although i sense that will be coming soon…

life has been good for me…so far so good i guess…dun really care about wat some people do nowadays which i must say is a really big improvement compared to wat i went through last semester…

and now its time to review on some of my friends on wat has happened to them over the entire summer period…

chang wei keat thinks he is ghost rider…cant blame him for that…he is a rider as he always takes rides from us…

kah chun hor looks like a sick perverted little boy with not enough food to eat…the guy needs to relax a bit…he looks so torn apart…dun think he’s getting enough at night…

virginia looks like a mad proffessor with her new hairstyle…probably a way of telling jon to give her more money for a new hair style…

and ka jon looks like he could lose some pounds as well…the last time i saw him he looked big and now he looks bigger and rounder…drinking too much i guess and not giving vir enough cash…

joanne still looks the same as she was 3 years ago…apart from the additional make up and her prince charming, she hasnt really changed that much i think…

temme lee has gone red…little red riding wei wei…she’s gpnna eat me for this…

syaza has become a fan of heroes…yay…another heroes fan…

bee bee looks slimmer and sexier as well…haha…but the girl has seriusly lost weight…don lose to much weight ok or u might end up sick…

kim has gone officially mad…but thats nothing new i guess…

i havent some of the other guys yet…one of them is still in holiday…my prayers have still not been answered yet…

well thats all i have to say about these guys…no wait…possible hook ups this semester…hmmm

look out for kajon and vir…something big is about to happen…i can feel it…

look out for joanne as well…the girl is becoming a fatal attraction…

dun forget kim…he might end up gay…

and lastly look out for bee…im quite confident she’s gonna get attached real soon…

Chinese New Year With Aaron Raj…

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Chinese New Year is going pass us now and wat a celebration it has been for me…On the first day of New Year me go Zoo Negara…of all places…i went to the zoo…It was a dissapointment…why?…the lions and tigers were so skinny…the orang utan was smoking a cigarrete which many found cool but i didnt cos its damaging the poor ape’s health…the bears were half dead…the crocodiles didnt have enough water in the pond…but the saddest of all were the hippos…yup…those poor creatures…u know how big they are right…and the zoo kepps them in a really small compartment…so sad to see them…the camles were half dead and so were the elephants…the penguins didnt look very happy as well…the bunnies were sick…basically all the animals there were sick…if only i had visited the zoo earlier before my summer, i would have joined the volunteers and helped with the zoo…the only good thing i had was i was able to hold a baby phyton in my hand…yup…so that was the first day of new year…

on the second day, my bro and i were supposed to come back ipoh…it rained heavily that morning…our trip was postponed to the afternoon…left for pudu…was able to get tickets but the place was crowded like hell…full of foreigners from indons, banglas and filiponos…but they were ok…so the bus left at 2pm and i reached ipoh at 5.30pm…why so long?…highway jam like hell as well…and guess who was causing it?…it was non other than the police…a police landrover would drive pass in the emergency lane…it would then stop a few kms ahead…and cars start slowing down…and den, some idiots use the emergency lane to jump queue…and this guys get caught…so as u can see, jams are caused by these guys actually…and it was raining heavily as well…so the bus driver played a movie in the bus…and of all films, he had to show rambo….sigh…gave me a aheadache….

3rd day of new year, stayed at home and watched my dvds…went to tesco in evening…kajon’s influence is killing me…tesco this tesco that…and then came back and watch wwe…saw football this morning…got sms from housemate saying arsenal should learn to win away games…i know mu won…so wat…we only lost 1-0…we will see in the second-leg…and also if mu can beat reading or not…hehe…

today is 4th day of new year…went to bank to get my payments for uni done…den go market…now im stuck here in comp lab blogging…so i will most likely be back on firday or saturday…back to uni on monday or tuesday…and see u guys soon…

cheers and enjoy ur new year…

PS:jon, dont get too drunk…

i expected more…a lot more…the plot was ok only…i think u guys will have to watch it to figure it out yourselves…but i definately expected lots more…bottomline, 6 out of 10…nicholas cage and eva mendes is the only reason i feel u guys should watch this film…even so, both dun give great performances…

6 out of 10 guys

see to agree…

Valentine’s Day With Aaron Raj.

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

yesterday was not one of the best days of my life but it ended with a rather happy ending…woke up at 9am and watched heroes episode 15…that was the start of my heroic day indeed…after that, watch police academy 1 and 2….2 comedies to continue my funny day…after that, i went to campus…nothing much was actually happening…flowers, jewelry and chocolotaes were sold but not many were buuying it…so i can say most of us have realized how commercialized valentines day has become…went to the library and borrowed the abyss…james cameron’s 1989 masterpiece was a good movie to watch…went to see helen who was rambling away on her phone and didnt kacau her…went online and bugged jo which was kind of fun…went for lunch in medan…

this is where it starts…met up with my one my closest high school mate…damn this was the best thing that happened to me since arsenal beat manchester united…anyways…we met and caught up on a lot of stuff…hihg school stories and stuff about out friends…it was fun…after that i went back and watched the abyss…3 hours…den just lazed at home….at approximately 8pm i went online on dc++ and chatted with the people there…and guess wat, we decided to go yamca…and i was invited yay….finally…somthing interesting to do…so went out with a bunch of people who i have never met before in my entire life…heard some interesting stories and had a quite good time…

came back later and watched 2 seasons of house…and thus ends my day…so wats the twist?…well going out with a bunch of strangers on valentines day…i think that was kinda cool…so next time i can say i wasnt "alone" on valentine’s day 2007…

The Pursuit of Happiness…

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

i think this was will smith’s saddest movie ever…and i loved it…his acting was superb which is why i cant doubt his oscar nomination…the movie is a simple easy to follow film…it tells about the life of a poor man who works hard to become one of the most successful people alive today…based on a true story, Chris Gardner (will smith) is a salesman selling bone density scanners for a living…and its not easy to sell something like that…his wife works in a factory…and he has a son which is played by will smith’s actual son, u can see the resemblance…so this guy is broke like shit, and his wife walks out on him leaving he and his son…and he has a good thing with numbers…so he joins the stock brokers for an unpaid internship…and this is where the sad part is, he and son are kicked out and forced to live on streets and all…its very sad to see seriusly…in the end he gets his job…and the movie ends…he got his happiness…

this was the first will smith film which i think i cried at the end…saw it yesterday with family and they cried also…not a masterpiece with soundtrack, cinematography and directing…but smith gave an incredible performance…

end

A weekend in Kl…

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Like i said, filming was supposed to start soon…and it was supposed to start for friday…and it would have if it wasnt for silly Kelvin Raj…as i left campus on saturday, i told him not to forget to pack the camera while i went to buy him breakfast…when i came back and i asked him he said he already did…and we left…when i was halfway through on the way to ampang, he suddenly screamed saying he forgot the camera…and i was so pissed off…however, we didnt go back for it…anyways the weekend continued…went to uncles house in ampang…they were going to a wedding in parkroyal kl and my bro and i were not invited…anyways the food there sucked…so we decided to tag a long and hang out there…so when we arrived, i first went to Sg.Wang plaza…and it was my first time there actually and i hate that place…it was so bloody crowded…i mean u cant even walk in or once u go in, u cant come out…but this was the excat situation i wanted to film…people shopping as part of wat being malaysian is all about…i could see people bargaining in hp shops, clothes chops, toy shops…almost everyshop and it was so crowded…it would have been a nice shot there…

after finding the nearest exit and getting out, we went to times square…and while walking to times square, i noticed a lot of beggars and homeless people on the streets…50 years on independence and we still have this? but wait…this beggars are making a lot of money…ok some of them are a bit sad to see though…my bro and i just stood there and looked at them for a few minutes…first there was this guy with no legs…he was lying down on the road with a cup…some threw in notes and some coins…those who threw in big notes like RM5, RM10 and RM50, he would  take it and put it in his pocket…now in like 5 minutes of observation, i saw like 10 people putting in RM10 and a lady putting in RM50…and my bro and i just stared at each other with "the look"…damn this guy must be making about RM500 a day easily…and den there was this old woman…now she looked really sad…she sat down with a small plastic bag and put her head down…she didnt look at those who put money for her…and she had quite a lot of money in her bag…so many RM10 notes…den a good soul cam and told her to put the money in her bag or something…and later we watching some street performance by a group of brazillians doing their martial arts…and as i was watching, a girl…a young girl about 5 years old came and pulled my shirt…i looked down towards her…"pak cik, pak cik…"she cried out and then put out her arm…i was like so shock to see this…a 5 year old girl begging for money? at first i didnt know wat she wanted…i looked around to see if she was with someone and saw no one…she just looked at me with a sad face and i looked at her…and den she walked off…i didnt gave her anything…instead i looked for where she was going…she ran to her mum a few metres away from me…she was carrying a baby with her…and they walked away…50 years on independence? … hmmm….makes me wonder…this were the stuff i wanted to record…this stuff which most of us fail to realize…

we went to times square trying to get some dinner…we went to mcdonalds…and this one is something i am definately going to write up to the newspapers…the mcdonalds in times square is so small…i mean im at the biggest shopping complex in the country and it has the smallest mcdonalds ever…the crowd was so huge…so huge that my bro and i lost our appetite…and the we could not find KFC or pizzahut…where the hell were those guys? i den realized their information was wrong…if u look at the directory it says 5th floor - fast food outlets…so that mean the 5th floor is where the fast food outlets are…but then, they were all located in different floors…hmmm…another interesting stuff that could have been recorded…
anyways, we then ate in chicken rice shop sadly….and later went back to the hotel and came home…

now on sunday, we went to bangsar as usual…went to BSC first and collected my first angpow…yay…haha…it was very kind of my auntie’s bost to give me an angpow although i hardly know her…anyways, after that, we went to bangsar pasar malam…now this was another good place to film…the pasar malam was full of people and once again full of beggars…this time there were families just sitting on the ground doing nothing…oh btw, i saw a husband wife and 2 kids sleeping on the streets in kl…that was very sad to see…back to bangsar, there was this guy with a huge cut on his leg…and he was seated there collecting money…and again, people in bangsar very generous…so all give money la…i think i should go into the beggar business also…

im not saying that to insult beggars…but have any of u guys wonder where this guys live and how they come there?…i remember in ipoh bus station, there used to be this lepper man who goes around collecting money…how he comes there? every moring, a car comes and drops him off at about 7am…and he starts his job…this people i mentioned above, some of them have really sad tales and i pity them…but some of them are making money out of this…they are cheating us…if u have a cut on ur leg, go to the hospital…they will help u…if ur homeless go to the welfare office…they will help u…if u dont have any limbs, go to welfare as well…the government does provide benefits are so they say to these people…

we are approaching 50years of independence really soon…and if stuff like this cant be handle easily, den how the hell can we say we are really "independent"? there are still a lot of people out there who are experiencing hell but whether the government knows this or not, i dont know…and whether they giva a damn about it or not, i dont know…but we cant depend always on private NGOs to help…they can help a bit but not all…this is why sometimes communism is kinda good cos it equals the distribution of wealth…democracy?…haha…we shall wait and see…

Ive heard news that Youth Malaysia is going to go on a nationwide roadtour or roadshow or someting…i think this is the time they really get the youth to speak…go everywhere and see how many of them give a damn about politics, entertainment and stuff like that…to them, making a days earnings is more then enough…and we shall see how democratic it will be…

END…

Exams are over…bore season is here…

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Damn…its gonna be really boring…the next 3 weeks or so…i dun have classes…i dun have to study…i dun have to do anything important…i am just sit at home and laze around…shit…valetines is coming…looks like it’s gonna be singletines for me once again…i dont think it’s even worth it to ask her out cos even if she agrees to come, the possibility of her canceling last minute is extremely high…so its gonna make me regret and feel more like an idiot…

once that is done, chinese new year comes…everyone would be busy…and wat am i supossed to do?…go back to ipoh?…dont know…im needed back home just as much as im needed here…so come to think of it, im an important person…

im supposed to be filming today…the thing is i dont know where to start and how to start…but im gonna start…ive been chatting with a lot of people lately…some i know of and some i dont even know…it’s nice to make new friends but not nice to fall into pranks…

i missed american idol yesterday…its funny how we humans like to watch more reality tv series…is it because it is reality or is it an image of reality?…because there is no such thing as reality…so as real as american idol may look, it’s all been adjusted for us…it only shows us wat they want us to see and not wat we want…if they want the hero of the movie to die in the end, he dies…but if we want it otherwise, it wont happen…so is there democracy in filming?…freedom of speech? i think there exists a bit among filmakers but does it exist among the audiences?…so is it really being democratic or is it communism?

and wat about valentines day? why is it of all the 365 days in the year, feb 14 is the only day we have to be extra special to our loved ones? why is it on this day only flowers cost like ferraris? if u were to look at the history of valentines, its a totally different thing…and valentine’s day infact is a catholic feast day…its the feast of st.valentines…during the roman times, men were sent to battle and this guy called valentine would secretly marry them to their loved ones…once he was cought, he was crucified…and he becomes a saint for that?…thats one thing i dont understand about saints…me being a catholic myself, saints have always confused me…this is because saints are ordinary people…they are not prophets like abraham and moses…they were just ordinary people who did good things…but u see, there are millions of people doing lots of good things…so are they considered saints as well?…now im thinking who started this saint thingy…cos i dont think it was christ…hmmm…need to research on this…

back to my filming…ive got tonnes of ideas of films to make…here are just some of my suggestions…these films would be fictional but with like a message in it…i would love to make a movie which shows women running the world…yup…the female do all of the men’s chores…and the men do the females…this will definately be a good one…cos i want everything men do to be done by female…instead of men disturbing women, women disturb men…instead of male taxi  drivers, we have women taxi drivers…instead of women maids and nurses, we have more male maids and nurses…instead of male construction workers, we have more female consrtuction workers…instead of more female housewives, we have more male housewives…and how am i going to start a movie like this? simple…my main character would be a womanizer…he does all kinds of bad things to women…so one day as he crosses the road, a car bangs him…and the next thing he wakes up in a hospital and thats where the story starts…kinda lame but it can be a comedy kind of movie…imagine a world where all the bosses, presidents, everything is done by females…and no its not gonna be a spoof of wicker man…

that was just one…another one i would like to make would be an action film…this one i got my actors…my bro and housemates have agreed to help me with this…i have got guns as well and car stunts with my amercian muscle…all i need now is a good story…most of the stories ive thought of for an action film have been used a lot and i dont want to be accused of plagiarizing someone else’s work…

and then of course love movies…probably one about a girl who has had so many crushes but never had a proper bf in her life before until she meets the right guy but doesnt realize it till the end…haha…now that would be a good twist…the story sounds familiar…is it based on true events? i dont know…oh better…i think i will make a film like love actually…different individuals…a bunch of friends with different love storys…a guy who loves an indonesian girl, a girl with 2 many crushes but hasnt found the right one, a guy who loves a girl although he has been rejected a million times, a guy who is confused of his sexuality…a couple who keep breaking up and making up…a teacher and a student…2 best friends…wow…this would be good…haha…

aaron’s got a real wild imagination doesnt he?

this is a real long post…its been a long time since i’ve typed out this many words…but then bore season is here…and joanne still owes me beer for every minutes she makes me weight…but then wat did i weigh for her?…wat a wasted opportunity…

yesterday i was chatting in dc++ with a bunch of people whom i have never met…it was a group conversation…and it was fun…we discuss a lot of interesting stuff…from general issues like politics to personal issues like bust size to weird issues like why monkeys have tails…the thing is, this bunch of people are also kind of like me…well thats wat i think…cos im juding them based on wat we chatted…a bunch of no lofe nerds…although, im not a nerd yet…i should meet up with them someday…

and yesterday was the first time i drove wei keat and kajon in my car…i mean my american muscle…haha…the outing to curve and laundry bar was fun but it would have been better if we had more people there…not that there was too much people already but i guess we could have used more…the saw sisters were good…and abby was good…i mean the interaction was there…but it would have been nicer if we had temme, hiu, vir, sya, chun hor, chung lern, arun and all those guys…it was nice to have stephen join us as well…at least he cheered some of us up…haha…and i could see that wei keat looked like he was very sad…haha…dun know why…kajon, well he was still the same…and bee, well bee i only got one thing to say, smoking is bad…haha…

i arrived home at 11.50pm…10 minutes before curfew…now that was close…came into my room to a mad cow disease patient a.k.a kelvin raj…poor fellow comp was spoil thanks  to a virus from mine which i must also apologize to temme…sorry dear, didnt know my comp was so naughty…im gonna reformat her very soon…she has been my "gf" for years too…we have been through a lot…she knows all of my secrets and msn chats…i love my pc…i think i should marry it…

its 2.15pm…damn i have been typing for almost an hour…wow…am i really bored or no life? i should be out partying with someone…but then which idiot parties at 2.15pm?…i need a life…probably once i start my filming, i will get hooked up to it and den maybe things will change…as for the studies, i should start reading the novel joanne gave me…only read the first chapter…my aim for this coming semester is 2HDs and 1D…HDs in PR and IR and Ds in writing and autorship…i will achieve it…

in conclusion, "pornography is not a representation of sex but it is a practice of sex using representations" Foucault…great mind…i think he has influenced my life a lot as well…life must go on…

if u have read this entire post, u have no life like me also or u just need something to sleep…

end…

Joanne please finish ur work faster…

2 good movies…

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Jarhead.

This was a good movie…Released in 2005, it stared Jake Gylenhal(not the right spelling) and Jamie FOxx…The story is about the lifes of the US Marice Corps as told from one individual during the gulf war…the story is rather good…not an average war movie…i mean this was good…it had all the impacts on it…not pro american kind of information…very good acting by Jake and the rest of the cast…7 out of 10 for me…please watch it if u have the chance…

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

This is a must watch…Jack Nicholson was superb…i loved it…Its the best mental institution movie ever…and i loved the twisted ending…winner of all major Oscars in 1975 including best picture…it was amazing…story is about a theif who is sent to a mental home…he den takes the patients out and does funny things with them…And those patients acted very well too…If u like Angelina Jolie’s oscar winning performance in Girl Interupted, u will love this…a million times better…u must watch this…10 out of 10…sad twisted ending but makes the audiences happy…watch it ok…
