Worst day in my 2009..

⊆ 10:57 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

It's coming to Christmas, a season of joy and laughter.. yet I got a bunch of shits today.

Got a surgery to extract my bottom left wisdom tooth last week and on MC for the week. Even though I'm on MC, I was worried about my work and even amended my work at home to help out my poor colleagues covering for me.

What the f*** do I get? A scolding from someone that didn't even understand what's going on with the file. Scolded me for not being prudent on the file? Wtf.. at work, I can say I always give the best even though I can manage time to gossip etc. Didn't I try to oblige everytime they need help? A split second there, I thought I wasn't part of the company.

Best thing is to reprimand me on things I already attended to probably a week ago and now that's its urgent. Infront of a new intern as well? humiliating me, rock bottom feeling today. Was I that useless? Perhaps so. Maybe I shall be one, maybe I should turn a blind eye sometimes. Maybe I should stop trying to make work easier for everyone as well. 3 years of hardwork seems like a waste of time to me now.

You implied I'm slow and probably incompetent enough to handle many files at one time? Fine, I will be that WAY. Not like I'm getting paid alot? I can't even save much with my current salary with all the commitments I have to my family.

Whining I am, but he will never see things poor chaps like me see. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I do not have the required paperworks, but I always try my best to make it through my ideas and my hardwork.

3 years down the road, easily I see many flaws in our company system. I know I'm cheap and maintainable, but to suck me dry of my energy and put me down like an animal just doesn't suit me. I held my anger in, I kept silent not because I admit it's my mistake, but it's futile to even argue as your mindset is already set. I was sentenced to a crime I didn't do.

The anger in me, the tears I've shed. I have seen all these in many of my colleagues. And today I finally realised why they are so hurt, disappointed etc.

TODAY shall be a new start for me, wishful thinking of me to even have a dream of a better future. Now that I've seen the judgement, I shall not dare to dream anymore. Ppl always say "What goes around, comes around" and I will surely repay the deeds.

Now, to look forward to 2010, with new perspectives and goals. I'm finally enlightened and shall not make the mistakes many did.

Quote from a Naruto Shippuden Movie:-

Once Sasuke asked me, "Do you know what if feels like to be left all on your own?"

Naruto replied, "I've always been on my own, you see..."

How nostalgic... can definitely link to that...

 

Void..

⊆ 10:37 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

Many times in your life, you will feel a void.. a void that needs a temporary input..

I have recently bought a Full HD LCD TV, a little on impulse, but more to filling the empty void I have at home...

Try to make it a motivation to stay home happier... To some, such luxury is easy, but trust me, it was never a easy decision for me... Readjusting my budget is a must now.. Well at least, my brother is happy with the Full HD gaming.. and sort of pampered all of us in some ways..

Anyway, here are some highly recommended movies to watch:-

The Proposal
Scandal Makers
G.I Joe

Peace Out.

The sadness on my mum's face last week is something that haunt me ever since then... I cannot forget how those teary eyes look like and how she was looking at her almost empty bank account statement...

There's nothing left to be done but to wish that our agony will end... only upon the death of my dad... will that pain and suffering end..

 

Beginning of the End

⊆ 11:04 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

There will come a time when things get out of hand, out of control and you lose sight of what you dream of having. Sacrifices made, tears shed, exploding anger...

It has come to such end for me... thanks all who have walked the path with me these few years..

My poor mum, who once again had to fork out her savings to save our house.. but even this time, she can't do much as she's practically dried up..

I am so frustrated, with all the money owing, nothing was spent on us.. how much I wanted a new TV to just play my XBOX 360, I have to brush that aside as I simply cannot afford to spend that kind of money.. So constrained and so empty inside me..

Told my mum, I will leave this empty house soon enough, shouldnt be a problem finding another place to stay...

There's simply no way to stop me from leaving now, enough is enough... and hopefully my brother will strive hard in his studies and earn big bucks to help me support my mum in future.. Meanwhile, I'm still saving for my ideal home.. This is a little hope that I still hold on to.. a hope for a better future..

Things changed, I will have to change as well, and to all those emo ppl out there... dont give up.. there's always ppl way worse than your situation.. for me example.. Don't dwell in things that you can't salvage, walk bravely to the future.. Stopping in time and being emo will only make you no better than an empty shell..

Better off dead I say.. what's a human without a soul..

Bad Day, True Colours

⊆ 8:41 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

People asked why am I so quiet today at work.....

I can tell u I'm really calm after what happened and what was said about me and my colleagues. When I'm calm, that's not a good thing. Cos I am actually boiling inside and waiting for my opportunity to get my revenge.

We have nothing to do? True, I admit I'M DAMN FREE! Not because I have NOTHING to do, perhaps because I'm too fast at my work, I guess that's wrong? Why do others who "appear busy" are the good people Management? I dont blame you Mdm Lau, you are doing your job, but gotta get some facts right.

I believe our gang generate most of your freaking income these past 3 years. We are just being ourselves. Well yes I admit we got pretty rowdy at times. Ah that brings me to Ms Rotten Flower. Blaming us because of the noise you can't concentrate? well well, you always screw things up right and always so uptight.. No one likes your attitude, I am amazed how K tolerated you as her secretary... pretty tough on her huh?

Get jealous because of our work rate or because of us being so close? You dont have much friends do you? Did a guy even approach you before? I'm being mean here, because you have stepped over the line, just because I'm the Mr Nice Guy around doesn't mean I will tolerate nonsense on me and my friends. Get ready Ms Rotten Flower, Hell is coming =)

Well Well Management, I'm free huh? How about you increase my pathetic pay and I take on a Admin job cum Secretary job? Good deal for both of us? I get to lessen my monetary burden which is at a high right now and show you what I'm made of. God-speed. Dare to take me on the challenge? I prefer showing than just all talk.

Or maybe, the Management doesn't deserve us at all. Maybe it has come a time for us to all move on too.

P.S. I refuse to change my attitude, that's what makes me unique and different and I believed I'm not wrong! Yes, we ALL used the internet (who don't?) and chit chat... all u prefer hiring robots? Go ahead man, and RF, get the fuck out of my face.. you gonna get into deep shit for flaming all of us bitch!

 

Movie

For people who watched movie with me before knows I always pay full attention to good movies.

Why am I so focused some ask... Well, for that short 1 hour 30mins ish of time, I feel like I'm living in the movie itself, in a new adventure every movie... Some times to be adventurous, sometime to be another character you always wanted to be... Be a superhero and save the world... etc etc

For that short span of time, I am happy / sad / full of emotions and forget abt the harsh reality..... for that time, I'm truly free of troubles... just the movie and myself...

Do you feel the same? =)

 

Gratitude and Thanks

⊆ 8:14 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

One wonders how I got so lucky sometimes in life...

I have been blessed with amazing luck throughout my dark path of life..

These are my light that kept me going...

To remember you people that played a part in my growing up is my code of honor..

In Dunman Secondary School, my Geography strict teacher Mrs Susan who of all people surprised me the most.. Helped me from a defiant young punk to a diligent Geography student, helped me with kind words when I was down and lost... helped me when I almost fainted in school due to sickness and malnutrition.. I thank you for paving the path I am walking right now. To all my Secondary sisters and brothers who walked with me through my darkest hours (literally), I remember you all though we have lost contact for some..

My late granny who scrimped and save to give me whatever allowance she had to me, the love and concern she showered during her years.. All the family conflict that left you heartbroken countless times.. I'm so sorry I couldn't be more of a help to you during my young tender age, I'm sorry you have to live in poverty with me and still look out for me, I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you were at your last breath and when you called out my name. May you be happy with the Lord right now Ah Ma.. I never got to say this to you, I love you...

During ITE days, unfortunately I had to drop out due to family problems and me falling into depression. I remember you all my friends who were there. I'm sorry I pushed all of you away from my door during my dark hours.. I remember you all... Brother Chew, although you are pretty F-ed up, I remember you are the one that tried to stand by me during that time.. Thank you bro..

During my army days, I met a few good men and a particular female counsellor that changed my life totally. During my depression years in army, Encik Tay, you helped me and understood what I was going through. You were tolerant and always trust me and open to my opinions to facilitate faster work in army. You trained me to a soldier and a Man, am grateful to you always. You gave me something that helped me in my present job. Leadership.... =)

My Counsellor dedicated to me during army. Patient and listened to my grumblings, my tears and your precious advices... You showed me that in every dark situation, there's always a light. You gave me the strength to walk out of my loneliness and return back to the real world.. Thank you sis, u are an inspiration..

My mum.. I'm sorry I still cant do alot for the family yet.. You kept the family together no matter how tough the times were. Your savings were spent and gone due to useless father.. My tears flowed everytime you suffer by yourself and act strong.. Every packet of maggie mee you ate instead of a proper meal hurts me but I know you are saving money for all of us..

My brother, for fulfilling my expectations of him.. you made me proud.. You graduated with flying colors in ITE and proceeded to Poly.. you became wiser and more guai under my strict guidance. Sorry Kor can't give you a better life or better allowance, thank you for your understanding of our situation. You have grown and made me proud. Now prove to others they were wrong and excel in Poly! Go Anthony!

My friends I met through online, Shawn, Nick, Marcus, Regina to name some. You were there to provide me with a shelter and a outlet during my younger years and guide me in game or online. Don't think I've forgotten =)
At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity to remember Xiao Pang.. aka David Li who passed away last year in a freak traffic accident. You were a joker and like a little brother to me. I hope you are in a better place watching over your loved ones. Take care bro!

My current jies.. couping and sharing with my problems and all. Stood by me whenever I'm emotionally of physically tired.. thank you all.. I don't need to mention names bah.. LSD, my ex-neighbour at work (haha!), er jie, ah jie, Ah Sa, Ah Woo etc.. I hope I made the office a little more enjoyable for you all with my craps! All work no fun is boring =\

At work, wonderful colleagues and bosses. Thank you for your guidance and advices. Tolerating my nonsense and mistakes at work and grooming me into what I am now. I hope I can contribute more and to my best for as long as I can. Special thanks to LY and SD, I am most surprised and grateful, am loss of words to describe how you helped me..

Lastly, my dearest Ah Wen. You stood by me since 6 years back. Always loving and caring about me. We survived on simple food, low wages and simple funs. Though we met online through gaming, our love is true.. thank you for tolerating my nonsenses as well, am sorry you have to live through tough times with me always. I will give us a home as perfect as we've imagined together in future. Words can't describe how grateful I am to you, I hope I helped you when you needed me as well... I love you always~ Just bear with me awhile more, will save more money and we can build our own future..

What is a home?

A place to sleep for some, a place where you find warmth? A place where you find peace?

To me... probably just a place to sleep in and pass the day..

In the near future, who knows.. I might not even have a home if things go on like that.. accumulating bills, endless phone calls of debtors... I even fear staying home now... other than my small room with my PC and my XBOX360.. nothing else really matters... Hell, even MDA is chasing for unpaid TV license.. wtf...

As I clutch the pain on my chest, I continue to walk on.. painfully.. for the sake of my mother and brother.. i have to... even though I'm desperate... even resort to reselling items that I bought cheap from forum and earning a small profit.. anything will do... anything...

I am grateful to ppl who showed me care and concern.. really.. though I never mention it to you face to face.. really glad at least there are some little encouragements around...

What's next I wonder... what can I achieve... and what can I really do...

Following his investigation, he soon discovers that a cult group is on a trail to murder four cardinals and destroy the St. Peter's Basilica during a papal gathering.

Latest News

Online scandal breaks Show Lo down. (Report extracted from Yahoo News)
Show Lo, badly affected by the recent "online dating scandal", got emotional and cried when he was hosting a variety show on Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENT

After a Hong Kong netizen named "Fanny" exposed her online relationship with the celebrity, three other female models also claimed that the latter had taken the initiative in befriending them, resulting in a series of reports that portrayed Lo as an "online player". Agitated by the scandal, Lo broke down when he spoke of this scandal on the variety show he was hosting.

According to him, he was just making friends sincerely and did not understand why he was portrayed as a "player". The Taiwanese media reported the scandal at great length and netizens criticized him for creating an illusive healthy image as a fae of his true self. Lo has denied all accusations.

"I am who I am. I tell jokes and sometimes dirty ones but all just for show effect."

Lo described himself as a tenacious cockroach that will never be defeated. "I am a cockroach, never beaten. If someone is out to bring me down, I'll have to apologize to you. You can't do it. I am unbeatable."

This was seen as a provocative statement targeted at the media, Lo's manager clarified that the artiste was just annoyed with the media for magnifying the most insignificant matters. He was overly depressed with the negative press but never meant to offend the reporters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My views:-

I could show my middle finger to all those that wrote rubbish on 小豬, I think fans have all seen his hardworking and never-say-die spirit. Just because he tried to know some friends online and got wronged by the bitch or whoever tried to put him down. News have been flying around with more and more nonsense from magazines and media.. they even directed the attack to 小豬's mum who is totally innocent.. How evil can media be? To ppl who dont know abt the news, go goole it. On the webcam part, it's not like he's TOTALLY NAKED? What is wrong with a HALF NAKED BODY ON WEBCAM?! I have embedded 2 videos on 小豬 trying to explain himself once again and finally broke down..

Now you know why Jay Chou hate the media so much.. they wrote rubbish and every little detail or info they get, true or false, they will just make it juicier by posting more unreal stuffs. Directing your hurting comments to one's parent is despicable, I condemn you and your colleagues to hell too! Don't even dare to post your own name after writing the article, shows how small or insignificant your guts/balls are LOL.... So good at making things up why not go WRITE A BOOK? u can earn more money and respect that way. Wonder where they will go after they die, probably hell and get their hands chopped off and tongues cut off hahaha.. Ouch? Afraid now? Suck on my toes ppl!

This incident taught us a valuable lesson on online chatting. Hey, you wont even know if the other party has ulterior motive. Yes true, let's talk about sweet stuffs that happened online too. Recall many successful and across the globe online relationships that turn out blissfully? I knew Ah Wen online too and we are happily in love even after 6 years..

Oh btw, I'm not even a great fan of 小豬. Just felt that he is not a bad person at all and most of all, a guai son.

Some wishes I have...

⊆ 10:47 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

Life is really tough and uncertain.. I have learnt to appreciate and be strong.. but as a mere human, I wish to pray that I can have the following:-

- a more complete and happy family
- my brother to complete his current poly studies
- provide a good life and hopefully home for Ah Wen
- to be rich enough to start a home of my own
- all my friends to have their own happiness
- life to be less painful for me
- my mum to suffer lesser
- to strive at my best in my work
- better health to all my love ones


Every 12th is my saddest day, payday for my so-called father and overnight it will be gone.. Every 20th is my payday and stressful day, I have to worry about my finance control to keep everything in check... yet, I try to smile everyday outside but cry when I'm back to my shithole in my so-called home..

Darkness have clouded 20+ years of my life... how long can I walk blindly in the dark and search for the light... God, can u hear my pleas...?

Sometimes I rather be a orphan, at least I might have the chance to choose a better family.... cos sometimes it just hurt so much that I dont wish to wake up...

Meanwhile I hope I brought some light to others with whatever problems they have and brought laughter and fun in their lives.. and maybe one day if I'm no longer around.. they will remember me..

In My Sassy Girl, the female once asked "Why is the sky blue?".. I'm envious, because mine is always dark...

Fast and Furious 4 (Movie Review) & Return of Eminem!

⊆ 12:20 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Movie Plot:

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker re-team for the ultimate chapter of the successful franchise built on fast cars and furious drivers. When crime brings them back to Los Angeles, fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Connor (Walker). However they are forced to confront a common enemy, so Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanoeuvre him. The two men go back to doing what they do best - push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.


My Review:

Good old fast paced action movie. This movie's plot takes place before the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. We talk about what Dom is doing after escaping with his 10-second car from O'Connor in F&F. How O'Connor is doing (He's a FBI officer now lol). This movie is about American muscle and revenge. Dom's beloved Letty was murdered while doing undercover, in order to take revenge.. he gets into a race.. what's new huh? Though the storyline always revolve around racings, it just don't get so bored after all. Dashing through busy streets and tiny, narrow tunnels make it more exciting. For the women, it's probably watching this movie for Vin Diesel's muscles -.-.. Nice flick to consider during the weekend to hype up things! Music was pretty good and this is a must watch for F7F fans!

Rating: 8/10 (Btw, get it on DVD for collection!)

Shopaholic (Movie Review)

⊆ 11:46 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »









Movie Plot:

Based on the book by Sophie Kinsella, "Confessions Of A Shopaholic" is about one Rebecca Bloomwood who unintentionally lands a job writing for a boring financial magazine. Ironically writing about the very consumer caution of which she herself has not abided, Rebecca's wins critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowned fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness.

My review:

Absolutely hilarious movie, though not a big budget film, i think my gang of friends truly enjoyed the movie (probably becos they are shopaholics themselves lol). Funny quotes and exaggerating moves in the movie, honestly not much of a plot but there is still a moral in the story itself. U will definitely luff for 3/4 of the show..

The male lead is charming though not really that handsome... but the show itself is about shopping.. so who cares abt the male lead haha!

Movie Plot:

In the early 1990's, a tractor mechanic from China nicknamed Steelhead illegally enters Japan to search for his girlfriend. To make ends meet, he joins his friend in Shinjuku in doing menial labour. Steelhead finds out that his girlfriend has married Eguchi, a Japanese Yakuza leader. Steelhead decides to stay on in Japan and work for Eguchi as a hitman. Soon, Steelhead gets used to the power and finds himself embroiled so deeply in the ways of the underworld that there is no turning back.

My Review:

You might have read, "COMPELLING ACTING BY JACKIE CHAN ETC", in my opinion.. it's just something fresh Jackie didn't do in his acting years. This time round he is serious but acting is so-so. If you are expecting some kungfu moves from him, you won't get to see any.

The movie is alright, 2 butt-aching hours in the cinema but was a little draggy towards the end. Oh, Jackie died btw =X.. A big yawn towards the end of the movie for me and Ah Wen... Some funny scenes here and there.. etc

But I liked Daniel Wu's acting in the movie, very down to earth turn bad boy character actually suits him lol. Little violence here and there but not too much, suitable for all ages.

Watch it if you want in cinemas, if not get the DVD to add in your Jackie Chan's collection.

My Review:

Oh John Cena, John Cena, just like the previous movie Marine.. he's unbreakable in this one too.. More explosions, more crazy stunts etc. I absolutely hate the one who film this movie, looks like a kid with a camera as it kept shaking here and there.. dislike it totally.. However, the theif's plot for revenge is actually pretty brilliant..

Friendship

⊆ 2:21 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to touch on the topic friendship.

Sometimes you wonder how you first knew your close friends, and thinking back on your first impressions on the person makes you laugh at yourself.

However, at rare times, when friends become too close or "so you think", you tend to rely on your closest friend or your so-called "closest friend". No doubt friends are there for each other and help each other, but over-relying might cause some devastating effects. I have a few examples which I will elaborate at a later stage.

What happens if 1 of you are not that strong mentally? you tend to rely on your friend once something trivial happens. And what is the effect? Additional and unnecessary stress on that stronger friend. Well I wouldnt say dont help the weaker one.. but when he/she keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again, you will get sick and tired of him/her. Not only that, people around you get affected. This is what we term as EMK (Emo Kids).

Difference is some ppl had a smooth-sailing life and dont see life the way some others do, and also take things for granted most of the time. This does not apply to every case though, there are some rich or fortunate ppl who are constantly helping others in need, my respect goes out to them..

Also, jealously and expectations of your friend is common but don't overdo it. Do things willingly without expecting any return.

Sometimes you may ask why are your "friends" avoiding you or you simply can't click well with your friends? There are many answers depending on individuals, it could be you did something wrong / insensitive, or even simply just cant reach the same frequency! However, not having the same frequency doesn't mean you can't be friends with that person, believe it or not, somewhere out there someone will definitely share your same wavelength.. you just have to be patient though as not everyone have the luck.

Words may seem harsh at times or too blunt. But your friends won't do it without a good reason! Take a step back and reflect at your behaviour.. be more sensitive to your surroundings.. think back, are you giving them more trouble than having fun with them?

Lastly, comes the painful decision. Do you have the will to finally change for the good? Are you able to tolerate your friends if they keep committing the same mistakes? Will you leave? Will you hold on? Every individual has their own thinking, what's yours?

Mine:
Im a straightforward person, and will definitely go all the way to help my friend within my means. However, I'm one that will get tired easily if the problems persists and there is no improvement. Might not be a good idea to lend a helping hand at that point of time, you will have to let it go or give it some space and time

 

Detroit Metal City (Movie Review)

⊆ 12:05 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »










Movie Plot:

Soichi Negishi moved to Tokyo to chase his dream of becoming a musician playing stylish, Swedish-style pop. Instead, he finds himself leading the death metal band Detroit Metal City as the costumed and grotesquely made-up "demon emperor" Johannes Krauser II. Although he hates the role and the things he has to do as a member of the band, he definitely has a talent for it. Adapted from the hit Japanese comic book by Kiminori Wakasugi, the movie follows Negishi's antics as he tries to reconcile the two very different sides of his life and find out what it really means to achieve his dream.

My review / comments:

Male lead is Ken'ichi Matsuyama who is also the genius and famous "L" actor in Death Note. Wow, I think Death note was his best look man! He looked gay in this film. Ahem ok, back to topic.. This movie is freaking hilarious! A perfect movie for friends and have a good laugh. No doubt it's cheesy and corny at times but in this chaotic funny film, u can actually find the meaning in life...

However, important note to those who can't take coarse language well. This movie contains quite a number of scenes with coarse language (of course, what do u expect from a metal rock band huh?) and probably split personality link lol. Ever had a dream of what u wanna become when u are older? But in reality not all of us realises our dreams as life take a turn to a worse side that u never expected nor wanted. In this film, Soichi Negishi (Ken'ichi Matsuyama) dreamt of being a decent pop star, however due to a freak change of plan in pursuing his career, he ended up in a metal rock band called Detroit Metal City. He is very famous in his role though but unwillingly... met his crush once again years after graduation and made him think why he didnt get what he wanted in life... and the laughter actually begins from here.. throughout the movie, u might be able to link how similar your life is now and not what you imagined. His motto was to give ppl a reason to dream through his soothing music (not METAL ROCK!) and thus very demoralised.. however.. slowly he found out that he is actually giving ppl hope and dreams through his unwilling rock music.. and his journey goes on..

NO MUSIC NO DREAM!

⊆ 11:33 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 1 comments »








Movie Plot:

A modern re-imagining of its classic 1975 adventure movie "Escape to Witch Mountain," about a pair of siblings, endowed with paranormal powers, who goes on a run from a diabolical group of men who wish to exploit their abilities.

My review:

If you are in for some simple laughter, this is a good movie to start with. Filled with UFOs and alien mystery kind of stuffs with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson acting as the male lead brings a good laugh. It's a disney show, so don't expect too much action packed stuffs, just simple non bloody movie with a family theme targeted on all age groups.

The movie generally is so-so, with a little senseless plot though but Dwayne's facial expressions really made the movie a better one though sometime he might have overdone his expressions lol.

Rating: 6/10

I would say it's still worth watching in the cinemas during weekdays non-peak hours. Or if you have special discounts for the movie tix. Otherwise, u might wanna buy the DVD when it's out for home entertainment.

 

Coming Soon (Movie Review)

⊆ 12:09 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »

My dear brother recommended me this movie, just watch it today with Ah Wen, Er Jie and Ah Jie and gonna give my comments on it.

Movie Plot:
Chain (Chantawit Tanasaewe), a young projectionist, decides to join Yod's (Worakan Rojanawat) mission to illegally record a newly released horror movie. Chain falls asleep during the screening and wakes up to find that Yod has already disappeared and left his camera behind. Suddenly, the horror movie that they were watching in the cinema starts to happen to them in real life.

Firstly, it is more like a comedy to me than a horror movie... no doubt there are some real scare scenes. It was refreshing to see a horror movie that's not really like others.. this 1 is based on U watching the movie and what happens to you if you watch a particular hanging scene. Typical horror movie, u DIE!

Ok, my comments on why you SHOULDNT watch this movie in the cinemas:

1) Actor's acting was real bad, i bet i can appear more terrified than him in the movie

2) Movie plot is refreshing but lack common sense, there's no real ending and pretty ridiculous towards the end. Like I mentioned earlier, I laughed more than I got scared (Almost fell aslp).

3) Dont compare it with Shutter or other good horror movie, this is a fresh horror flick that will bore u to tears if you aint scared. Shutter really scares the shit out of u.

4) The ghost in the movie can scare kids probably, creatures in my XBOX 360 games like Resident Evil 5 and Dead Space are way horrifying.

5) what kind of horror movie ends with a soothing love song? LMAO

6) There's no lesson learn in this movie, probably not to film a pirated disc? =\

So guys and gals, please dont catch it in the cinema, aint worth your money. If you want, get the VCD or what. You'll probably throw it away anyway, so better to rent it lol. But of course, if u are timid, this movie will probably scare u for abit..


Movie Rating: 2/10 (BAD)

 

When reality bites you..

Chinese have a saying" "A leopard never changes it's spots"

Though how much we wish someone will genuinely change for the better, after some time, you probably give up hope (well most cases). And reality is a bitch, how to shun such things? We may wanna look at the bright side of life though, have to move on with our own lives... Or find a distraction maybe? for me will be more beloved XBOX360 or outings with my dear or friends... and life seems colourful again.. even if it's for a short while...

Damn... it's hard to be a human...

IT Show 2009

⊆ 9:15 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »


IT Show 2009 is crazy even on the first day! Took leave and accompanied Ah Wen to the IT Fair in search of a laptop (Pls see pic of HP-Compaq CQ45-402TX (NQ216PA)), costs us $1,8XX with some freebies and 5 years warranty. Good deal!

Specs:-

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700
Processor speed 2.53 GHz
Standard memory 4096 MB
Memory layout (2 x 2048 MB) Memory layout
Internal drives 320 GB

Along with some freebies of antivirus (cheap version but who cares), cleaning kit, mouse and free upgrade of ram to 4G. Bad thing is, its quite scratchable.. got a few hairline scratches accidentally but not significant. However, the specs are terrific along with a terrific price, hard to reject the deal!

We actually took around 4 hours in the freaking fair.. goodness me we were so burnt out reaching home in the evening.. almost wanting to cry whahahhaha. Still feeling the shagness from yesterday.

There are lots of good deals going around, just gonna highlight some here.

If you are looking for a laptop / desktop, try going the booth for Harvey Norman or Courts. Though there are those individual brands selling their products, Harvey Norman and Courts offer alot more freebies and extended warranty too! Thats why we decided to buy our laptop with Harvey Norman..

For cameras, looks damn cheap this season.. Gadgets like thumbdrive prices are dropping.. great deals for HD-Ready TVs and Full HD TVs... printer pricing are so-so.. seems to me Macbooks are in demand and seen alot ppl bought them... Camera prices are going down as well!

I might be still going down on the last day to see if there are any more cheap deals.. though imagining the crowd on that day already kinda put me off...

 

Red Cliff 赤壁 1 & 2 (Movie Review)

⊆ 3:34 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Part 1 - The beginning of a war

It's set just right before the 3-Kingdom Dynasty period. Liu Bei and his loyal generals are on the run against Cao Cao's army. In order to fight back, they have to make an alliance with Sun Quan, the Sun Army. Zhuge Liang Kong Ming, a master advisor (Takeshi Kaneshiro) uses his smart thinking and guts to convince Sun Quan to make an alliance with Liu Bei's army.

In this movie, you will see the vast power of Cao Cao's army, by looking at the size of their army, you would think that it's impossible to fight them. For those who read up on the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms, you will know this is a trademark victory for SUN and LIU army and the brilliance of 2 advisors namely Zhugeliang and Zhou Yu (Liang Cao Wei) from Sun Army.

Introductions to the famous warriors of Liu Bei will commence shortly after the start of the movie. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are the elite commanders of LIU Army. You will also be introduced to Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Sun Shang Xiang and other great SUN warriors.

Alot of fighting and spilling of blood involved before the show-down at Red Cliff, also the fight of the naval armies. Sadly, that's when the movie ends. (Damn what a cliff-hanger!)

Rating: 9/10!



Red Cliff part 2 -

The story swiftly begins with both sides playing mind games with each other. Using plague as an advantage to war. As the winds are strong, both sides thought of using fire as a weapon in the upcoming battle. The wind was initially in favour of Cao Cao's army.

At one moment, Zhugeliang mentioned "the one who can grasp the momentum of the weather will win the war" and he predicted the wind will soon change in favour of the alliance. Mind games continued, resulting in Cao Cao killing 2 of his naval officers, leaving no one to lead the huge naval army. Zhugeliang knows they are outnumbered and realises they do not have enough arrows for the war as well. He devised a brilliant plan to gather the arrows in a bizarre manner. (Please watch to understand in full details).

Sun Shang Xiang sneaked into Cao Cao's army and disguised herself as a man to get information on their formations and to draw a map. In another turn of event, Liu Bei and his army dissolved the alliance after realising the odds against them, this however is explained as part of Zhou Yu and Zhugeliang's mind games to put Cao Cao's guard down. Soon the war starts in full scale and fighting begins.....

Personally, I dont really like the ending as it was different from the books. In actual fact, after the war, Liu Bei seized a part of SUN's land making it his and finally a home for his people and warriors. Therefore throwing the 3 big armies into a new era named THREE KINGDOMS.

Rating: 8/10

Wolverine 2009 (Movie Preview)

⊆ 12:02 PM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Based on X-Men origins before Logan became Wolverine. Highly anticipated movie of the X-Men spin-off, getting into depth on the history of Wolverine and some other never-been-seen on screen characters like Gambit and Deadpool.

Keep a lookout for updates on this movie at IMDB.

Well, for action packed movie goers, I'm sure there will be some violence and coarse language.

Dragonball Z is originally a anime popular in Japan and went on to air for a few years and over a hundred episodes.

Hollywood's new attempt to remake the classic into a live action movie is a brave one but condemned by all.... I too am disappointed with this as this kills off the classic feeling and all. However, for Chow Yun Fatt's sake, I'm gonna watch it and see how sucky this movie is gonna be.

Until then~

Watchmen - Movie Review

⊆ 12:30 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Sypnosis: In a gritty and alternate 1985 America, the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown. However, after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered, an investigation is initiated. The retired superheroes reunite and set out to prevent their own destruction with an extra mission to watch over humanity. In the course of doing so, they unwittingly discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot.

Movie Review (Courtesy of Teri Mak (My good sister!): Easy to understand english, and the movie is unique unlike other superheroes movies. Characters are not what they seem they are until you finish the movie. A little corny here and there but overall funny at the same time. Obviously action shows like this contain violence, but not to the extent of Sin City.

Personally I have not catch the movie yet, so I will try to catch it within the next 2 weeks and add on my personal view. Anyone out there watched it?

Her rating: 7/10

 

Suspect X - Movie Review

⊆ 12:22 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Sypnosis: Genius mathematician and high school teacher Tetsuya Ishigami (Shinichi Tsutsumi) has taken a fancy towards Hanaoka Yasuko, a lady working at a bento store. When he learns that Yasuko and her daughter have killed a person, he then helps the two of them to construct the perfect alibi. The police investigation runs into difficulty and Detective Kaoru Utsumi (Kou Shibasaki) seeks the advice of his friend, the brilliant physicist Manabu Yukawa (Masaharu Fukuyama). Ishigami is Yukawa's college friend. A fierce battle breaks out between the genius mathematician and genius physicist.

My sum-up: A brilliant brain wrecking movie which test your analysis and different angles to solve things. How people neglect important facts and get misled easily, how simple things can be made complicated by mere great planning. How love could drive a person to do extreme stuffs. How people can manipulate your minds by simply creating a illusion for you to believe in. How noble life is and how simply you interpret life.

All in all a fantastic japanese detective movie with lots of meaning in it. Do catch it in the cinemas or own it on DVD! Solve the mystery yourself!

Rating: 9/10

 

He's Just Not That Into You (Movie Review)

⊆ 2:19 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



A movie full of famous ppl like Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck etc. I would say it's more to a comedy than a romance show.

Basically it tells relationships between couples. How men woo women and how women gets infatuated with men etc. Even scandals involved and finding your true self, true happiness. This movie contains alot of meaning if you can get them all.

Out of my expectations actually, turned out to be a great movie. I will not really reveal too much of the details. Catch it while it's still in the cinemas, if not DEFINITELY BUY THE DVD. You can pass around to ppl who aren't in love, had a failed relationship, happy in love.. etc. All of them will learn something from the show, I assure you.. cos I did =)

SHOW Luo @ EastPoint Mall - 6 March 2009

It's crazy to think a quiet and deserted Eastpoint Mall came alive this evening!

Lots of shouting by fan girls and the queue to get Luo Zhi Xiang's signature was incredible. The attendance is way past the figure when S.H.E came just about 2 weeks ago..

Goodness me indeed, almost fainted due to the crowd turnout but managed to caught a glimpse of him dancing and singing LIVE! Some slick dance moves and lots of cheering

He sure is gaining fame at a tremendous speed... will upload a better looking video in due course!

 

Marley & Me (Movie Review)

⊆ 9:04 AM by UchihaRay | ˜ 0 comments »



Watched it roughly around last week. Finally we get to see Owen Wilson acting in more serious and less shitty roles.. Jennifer Aniston is stunning in this show, potraying the nobleness of a woman giving up her job for her kids while Owen Wilson is the ever stressful father...

The movie starts off with both characters settling down with their new found jobs (related to newspaper articles) and working hard. Aniston is a perfectionist and sort of have her life "planned" out in steps, which is funny in some sense as Wilson gets stressed out trying to have a baby with her. Eventually, Wilson's friend recommended him to buy a puppy for Aniston in order for her to get used to taking care of a "baby".

Marley is one of the puppies available, he appears quiet and mild at first and was sold at a "Clearance Price" thus branding him the Clearance Dog.. That's when things start to go bad for the couple...

Marley chews, bites furniture.. even in one occassion swallowed a necklace Wilson bought for Aniston which was hilarious.. Wilson had to wait for Marley to poo to get the necky back... Wilson became a columnist at one time and wrote funny stories relating to Marley and his family every week, giving a great boost to his career. Life gets hectic once their first child came.. Aniston start to think that Marley is a chore etc.

Fast fwd a little, they eventually have 3 children... everything settled down and Marley grows old.. Its those heartwarming and sad movies,where the dog died in the end. Watch it before it's over in the cinemas, not a bad movie in my opinion though Ah Wen commented the book is funnier.

At one time we were grumbling how time passes so slowly.. BOOM and it's Feb 2009! Great to put behind 1 disastrous 2008 and looking forward to 2009...

Feb 14

Valentine's day! As always, looking forward to this day to spend with my special one (Ah Wen). It's amazing how love defies all odds.. it's 6 years now since we are together and we still love each other very much... Went out for a simple dinner at Waraku and presented her with a lovely blue rose and a prezzie (Pics will be uploaded soon). The present was a limited edition Zhang Hui Mei's necklace only available during her concert in Singapore last year.. Used my auctioning skills to get it online hehe..

Somewhere in February..

A repeat of mistakes after mistakes by my dad. I've become numb to these.. letters and calls that harrass our family... when will this ever end? I strive to move out to a place I call home in the near future.... abandoning my past and embracing my future..

February 18

MUAHAHHAHA ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Initially wanted to take leave but since it's in the middle of the week I didnt bother to do so... Well, as a known counsellor to some, I can see through things easily and knew my cheeky colleagues have something planned...

SURPRISE SURPRISE!
Er Jie, Ah Jie, Da Jie, Kristine, MayFang, Ah Woo and SD got me some presents that really delighted me.. Aww so sweet of u ladies~ As a guy, I feel a little awkward celebrating my bday in a big bang lol.. but thank you gals anyway.. love the STAGE shirt, Adidas bag and belt.. And thanks SD for the hair products!

What really surprise me was my beloved dear came down (even though she's really sick) with something she made herself.. I was really touched and had to hold back my tears hahahahahha.. it's really lovely, looks like much effort being put in.. I regret that Im pretty lazy doing DIY stuffs though... After work, she brought me to a place near Ah Moy called Sweet Indulgence.. Goodness me, I didnt expect to find a fine dining place here! Food was really expensive however superb! Had our fill and sent my sick dear back home in a hurry...

Overall, thanks to all who made my day... I really felt the warmth.. and I desire to keep this close to my heart =)

Rest of the year
More birthdays and events coming up! Gotta gear up for it! Economic crisis nowadays.. who knows I might be out of job in the near future? Dont say I'm pessimistic.. I'm just getting prepared for the worst.. that's me, my line of defence....

And lastly may God bless alll of you my dear friends... whichever religion u are in!

P.S. LSD, dont get too depressed, some things we just cant force a change.. let nature take it's course.. and stay happy.. that's more important!
