What Did I Do For One Week

1. Exercise... A lot... But I'm still not satisfied...
2. Eat all kinds of foods in moderate amounts...
3. Watch movies in DVDs that are long outdated(most of them are good, better then current blockbusters hitting the cinema, not to mention the drama LOST =="')
4. FB... mostly playing a new game called Tycoons. It s interesting though, and I don't have to be in front of the CPU all day... =D
5. Practice songs that I want to learn
6. Well if I'm lucky, then maybe go out once in a while or every week for a football match...

It's damn boring... But I can't inject some fun or excitement like going on a trip because most of my friends aren't in rainy Taiping...

But I know when school reopens, I'm gonna miss holidays like HELL...

Boy oh boy... aren't we humans ironic and complicated... =D

Letters From Iwo Jima

It has been a long time since I watched a good movie. This is a 2006 film. It's about a story of Japanese civilians conscripted to defend the island of Iwo Jima. That time it was WW2

Iwo Jima is just a small barren island, but as you can see here, it lies directly between Japan and the Philippine. If the US managed to gain control of the island, the US would used it as their base to attack Japan. So containing the island was vital.


But as Japan had earlier suffered losses, the mainland was unable to lend in support to defend Iwo Jima. So it's up to the soldiers there to defend for their lives. Although they were no match for the US, but it was the sheer fighting spirit that overwhelmed me...

Ken Watanabe as Army Lt. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi

But on the other hand, there was one scene where they were lectured to identify US medics and told to bring them down. It's kinda cruel and I somehow reject this thinking.

This film is definitely worth watching. Although it's in Japanese, but it was directed by Clint Eastwood and Spielberg was one of the producer. So it's definitely Hollywood-class...

By the way, it's way better then 2012... XD

River Flows In You a.k.a. Bella's Lullaby-Yiruma/ Edward Cullen

This song is so sweet. If you're a Twilight fanatic, then you can feel that Edward has channeled his feelings and thoughts for Bella in this lullaby. How he would risk everything to protect her, how he would even make the most hurting but best decisions to keep her safe...

Why do I say so? Cos for some reasons, I always think of "her" everytime I listen to this...

2012

First of all, I would like to say that, this movie, is not to be hyped. It does not deserve such attention. All I can say is the effects are awesome, but the plot, it's too slipshod. Not flowing. Why? Cos in the end, after watching, you'd think back, hey, this started in 2009? Why suddenly jump so fast?

But other then the plot, the characters, those portrayed, are the people who we see today. Those who are selfish, those who fear death so much. And the frantic actions men take when disaster strikes, as they get ready to defy God, defy Judgement Day.

It is not the main characters that teaches us lessons, rather the minor characters. The Lama, Charlie the nutcrack...

Carl Anheuser, the President's Chief of Staff

Charlie

When is it the time to care for each other, to understand each other, if not now? For when disasters really strike, humans cowardly flee and forget the true meaning of humanity, the day we stop fighting and caring for each other, the day civilisation lost it's true meaning.

And for Charlie, who died in a volcano eruption in Yellowstone, at least he got a chance to witness Earth's fury and beauty, right before his very eyes, but for those who viewed from the universe, it's just a speck of smoke.

Die with pride and honour, rather then live by carrying thousands of sins that haunt you the rest of your lives...

Ah Pek and The Pope

This email I got from my mum...

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to
leave Italy . Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese
community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate
with a member of the Chinese community. If the Chinese win, they could
stay. If the Pope wins, the Chinese would have to leave.

The Chinese realized that they had no other choice. So they picked an
old man named Ah Pek to represent them.

As Ah Pek was not conversant in Italian language, he asked for one
condition to be added to the debate.
'To be fair', he said, 'neither side would be allowed to talk'.
The Pope agreed.

On the day of the big debate, Ah Pek and the Pope sat opposite each
other for a full minute.

Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
Ah Pek looked back at him and raised one finger.

The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head.
Ah Pek pointed to the ground at where he sat.

The Pope pulled out a loaf and a glass of wine.
Ah Pek pulled out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said: 'I give up. This man is too good in
religious knowledge. The Chinese can stay.'

An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what
happened.
The Pope said, 'First I held up three fingers to represent the holy
trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there
was still one God common to both our religions.
Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us.
He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also
right here with us.
I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He
showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin.

He had an answer for everything. What could I do??'

Meanwhile, the Chinese community also crowded around Ah Pek and asked
him what's happened in the debate.
'Well', said Ah Pek. 'First he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3
days to get out of here. I raised my third finger and asked him to f*@k
off, and that none of us was leaving.
Then he pointed that this whole city would be cleared of Chinese. I
showed him that we are staying right here.'
'Yes, and then???' asked the crowd.
'I don't know', said Ah Pek, 'He took out his lunch, and I took out
mine.'

Nice Email!

I got this very nice email from my friend... So true, and so touching...


1.很清楚的知道她不合適自己，可是更確定的是他不會主動說分手。

他只是耗著等著，直到有一天女生自己受不了忽冷忽熱、若即若

離的態度，或是等到年華老去不得不下決定時，自己選擇離開。

妳的主動離開，我沒有負心，反而是尊重與成全妳的決定。



2. 半年後發現，他居然可以跟一個只認識三個月的女生步入禮堂，

令她晴天霹靂，才明白他不是不想結婚，不是真的不婚主義者，

說穿了只是他不想跟妳結婚。

八年的愛情長跑比不上三個月的感情。


3.
這位故事中的男生是我的朋友，現在也已經結婚半年。

當他聽到劉若英的「後來」，居然會無法克制的流眼淚，想起

的是他交往八年的前任女友。

為什麼會難過，因為妻子身上有著前任女友的影子，

他才明白其實他喜歡的就是這種類型的女孩。




4.
可是人往往很矛盾，
喜歡她的倔強與有性格，卻受不了她的嬌縱。

喜歡她的落落大方，卻受不了她的朋友一堆；

你愛她的小家碧玉，就不要怪她不夠大方；

你愛她的活潑大方，就不要批評她像花蝴蝶一樣。

戀愛談的愈長，結婚的可能性就愈低，

所以有時候戀愛的長度與結婚的可能性成反比。



5.
喜新厭舊是人性，日子久了，會結婚不是為了愛情，而是責任

感的驅使。婚後的他才慢慢的發現，當時的那一段感情其實不

是不愛，是時間太久了太長了，把愛情給磨掉了，再遇到另一

個女孩點燃了愛情的火苗，星星之火足以遼源，把枯竭已久的

愛情給予生命，所以倉促的決定結婚。

等到真的結婚後，愛情降了溫，才慢慢的發現其實妻子的身上

有著許多前任女友的影子，他比較愛的人其實還是前任女友，

可是他娶的卻不是她。

這樣的情節不知道是不是也在別處同樣上演著？



6.
學生時代的愛情很單純，出社會以後總想等工作穩定以後再結

婚，工作穩定以後又想等有一點積蓄買車子、買房子以後再結

婚，等著等著，等到愛情被時光給消磨，等到第三者介入點燃

了對方心中激情的火苗，乾柴烈火不可收拾以後，曾經在年少

一起織夢的理想全都抵擋不了新鮮感的激情，所以琵琶別抱，

到最後步入禮堂的都不是在一起同甘共苦、共同經歷過寒、暑

假，等當兵的人。





7.
所以奉勸各位女孩子，

如果對方真的是你想結婚的對象，不要想著有房子有車子有金

子，有了一切再結婚。

現實是，等他有了一切，他的身價暴漲是有價值的單身貴族，

他必需要面臨的是更多的誘惑，妳長久以來的等待與年輕時許

下的山盟海誓都難以抵擋誘惑排山倒海的來。

就像我現在若不嫁他，非得等到他有車子有房子還有存款時再

結婚，那時新娘有極高的可能不是我。

因為要等到什麼都有還要幾年？

有能力的男人就像酒愈久愈香醇，女人則像麵包一樣有賞味期

限，青春是女人的天敵。

如果我是他，等到我三十五歲，什麼都有是個有上千萬身價的

黃金單身漢，我並不需要一個很有能力而年過三十的女人來幫

襯我，我寧可選個如花似玉，年輕貌美的女生，也許沒有什麼

工作能力，至少發揮了賞心悅目的功能，一個真正有能力的男

人，不會在乎一個女人是否能在他的財富上加乘。

遇上對的人，莫等待莫蹉跎，也許沒有房子沒有車子，只要他

認真上進，他就是張有潛力的積優股，早點進場獲利更高。






8.
也提醒各位男士，

如果對方真的是你想好好疼愛的女人，別讓她等太久，
有她一起陪你奮鬥應該是很美好的一件事除非你心中有其他的想法，

否則別讓愛情等太久，把真愛都磨掉了！雖然聽起來很殘忍,但

身邊的家人朋友都有類似的例子。



真愛，就不要等，除非是不想結婚......

What To Do...

ALWAYS, Do the right thing, the right way

DON’T, Do the right things, the wrong way

IF NEEDED, Do the wrong things, the right way

STUPID, when you do wrong things, the wrong way

SOMETIMES, there are things which aren’t wrong, but not the right way

Go The Distance

No matter how hard, no matter how tough, a dream is a dream. A target is a target. Dare to dream, dare to achieve. Reach for the stars, be among the stars.

I Will Go The Distance....


By the way, this is my best Disney Cartoon... =D
