One for Malaysian films

Though i never really knew her, but Yasmin Ahmad has always been a famous film maker in our country. I bet even if you didn't know who she is, you have most likely come across her films and advertisement. The local cinema hit Rabun, Sepet, Petronas advertisements, Talentime are a few of her movies that has made it big both local and international. Besides so, she is also judges for many international film festivals across the globe.

Yasmin, before her decease, remained a blog which features her artistic point of view, her life passing events and how concern she is towards Malaysia issues. I believe her movies and writings has influence a lot of people. You may visit it at yasminthefilmmaker.blogspot.com

I've never really liked Malaysian dramas but for the record, all the Malaysian films that i've watched are really nice. No matter the language, we know that Malaysian movies are making it hard to the market as budget are always pressuring and the support from cinemas and movie-goers are not bright.

However, it is only through these movies that we can find the familiarity and the sense of belonging to, and i believe for most Malaysian movie lovers, Yasmin Ahmad plays a big part in cringing our very own Malaysian films from the flooding of American movies.

On behalf of everyone else, i just wanna say Thank You for igniting hope and making it all out for Malaysia. Thank You for the heart-warming short advertisements that although last for not more than a few seconds, brought laughter and warmth towards the audience. Thank You for the movies that featured cross-cultural stories that made Malaysian look once more against racism. Thank You for making Malaysia proud over your success and influence in the film industry as a whole.

May you rest in peace.

Yasmin Ahmad passed away on Sunday, 25th July 2009

My addition to life

picture taken from here :)

cause i malas wanna take picture
but still thanks dad!!!

He took the bread, broke it and gave thanks

People see money as the essential of being,
Of which someone here is seriously lacking.
If it really was the essence to a human being,
then "someone" would most probably be half-dying :p

There's too much to care about besides my bank balance,
Exams, church, events and also assignments,
"Don't worry of what you shall eat" says Jesus,
thanks to Him i find plain bread delicious :D

Yep! my favorite dish for the moment is bread,
Plain white along with some chocolate spread,
Breakfast, lunch and also dinner,
Sometimes tea and sometimes supper :)

In debt i really am in terms of borrowing,
So much so that i owe the burger uncle syilings.
He says pay tomorrow for the two,
sorry uncle, but i just wanna say thank you :)

Don't worry about my current situation,
and don't offer me biscuits for any reason,
For i believe in food multiplication,
And also some any party invitation. XD

Thank You Jesus for everything,
for i do not believe in what i see but what i believe in,
Trusting i am with my titles and offerings,
for abundance in food, chocolate and every other blessing :)

Manchester United Malaysian

Yea as the papers says, Manchester United came to Malaysia (and still is in) for their Asian tour.
And yea, i did get to go =p

Because of early tickets from Daniel, who got it from Michelle, we get to have Training Passes on Friday to watch the all -England Giant train in Stadium Bukit Jalil. Happily we thought it was so exclusive that maybe only a few hundred lucky winners get to possessed training pass only. Well, were so wrong as it was jamming madly on Friday. EVERYONE's going all the way to the Stadium with their jerseys on just to see the players run around the field. And since no one's really playing soccer, their warming up and warming down session became the crowds' best entertainment. "O MY GAWD FERDINAND'S STRETCHING!!!!" =.=''

On Saturday! After worship practice, we hop on Daniel's Unser and rush to Bukit Jalil in compliments of other Man U fans that contributed to the heavy road jam.

When we got in the Stadium, the players were coming out already. Woo!!!

But what caught me more was, the massive massive amount of human beings in that venue. Never been to a stadium before so i've never expected this (besides on tv). Look at that, every single tiny dot is a person that can shout and scream and make noise!!!

The wave of cheers can be literally felt as the anticipation level was boiling. The red sea of jerseys just adds nicely into the whole atmosphere.

Eh! Sarawak! ( an the flag's hung upside down my friend =.= )

After getting stunned by the unrecognizable individuals that flooded all our seats (ish), i looked down and saw non other than*takes deep breathe, the people that made Malaysians let aside their money, time and even honor of betraying their own country.

!!!Manchester United!!!

We had to seat at higher seats as the seats we paid for are all filled up. Somehow the whole stadium thingy reminds me of Harry Potter and their Quiditch Tournament. No? :P

Well in case you didn't notice, i've just taken a photo that would earn me RM50 on Star Newspaper :D

The match kicked off! Malaysia was obviously a standard lower as compared to the English man of smooth passes and crosses. I think no one actually had hope on Malaysia as of history told us the last game they played ended up 6 vs 0. The worst thing was, Malaysia was playing HOME and the home crowd is screaming loud for the visiting team =.= Malaysia Boleh...

After few minutes of kick off, Rooney scored an easy goal in front of the goal post. Wasn't really exciting but the stadium was roaring. It was so easy that i think everyone was expecting the next one in minutes.

Yeap without much waiting, the second goal from Man U proceeded. Woooo!!! again the stadium was shaken with cheers of the Man U fans.

2 vs 0 so far.

But but, right before half time, a Malaysian player Amri Yahya (if not mistaken) went through the defences and just gently tilt the ball... i wasn't expecting it to go in, so was people around me, and so was Van Der Sar. And it went in.

GOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I jumped on my feet and started screaming along with 99,999 human beings around. Malaysia scored !!! WOOo!!!! i bet all Malaysians in the stadium had their time of their life, to cheer for their own country, in football, against Manchester United.=.= WOoo!

2 vs 1

With so much joy, the halftime whistle was blown. Daniel and i went to get some food and drinks, just for the sake of getting stadium food which i only see in tele on american football movies "hotdogs hotdogs"

Apparently Malaysia not only do not have such service, people had to squeeze around the fences to buy stuff from the seller outside of the stadium hall. We were like prisoners hungry for food and water struggling our hands and waving in desperation for the abang and kakak out there to mercifully pass us their stuff. Ok, lets move on =D

Before we could get our food, the stadium was suddenly filled with the sound waves of human shouts. AAAA, we ran up the stairs while joining our vocal chords with the majority in desperation to see what happen. Manchester scored most probably. But when we reached the deck, we saw the blue people crowding together. OMG!! Malaysia scored once more!!!! can u believe it?? we are tied against one of the world's best team!

2 vs 2

After settling down, i realised Malaysia was really playing quality football. Their passes are more accurate and their confidence were real up! Come On Malaysia! If they can pull it through, its gonna be real good news for Malaysia football man. I never really watched Malaysia played before and as everyone says, our national football is hopeless. But from the way i see it, they're pretty good yo! :D scoring 2 against Man U, come on, buy that! And MU was playing serious as well for your info~

During the middle of the second half, a Malaysian player fell and the medics were treating him. ( its so sad that i don't know anyone from the Malaysian squad) All of a sudden the crowd was getting real loud, i thought they were cheering for the injured fellow Malaysian, but for and behold, they were shouting for this guy...

Michael Owen which transfered to MU made his debut with jersey number 7. And of all people, he became the spoiler which scored the winning goal for MU. But honestly, it was 0.00001mm for the defender to prevent the ball from scoring. so closeee..... but anyway thats just football, doesn't matter how u score as long as the freaking ball as the line and into the net =.=

3 vs 2

Well it was more than expectations already. I really was expecting another 6 or 7 goals from MU but it was so tied up. Wow...definitely worth the money man. Not to watch Manchester United players and in their new jersey, but to find hope and gratitute for our very own Malaysian football team!!! :):):):)

Below are some random photos from the match. We were seating 5 rows from the highest seat, but the photos taken were way visible than dslr.

I'm starting to love my camera once more :) sorry cammy, for ditching you all this while. haha.

the old chap, Giggs

Only the red team get to go up and shake some Dato's hand and pocket some medals while the national team left silently. Whats is wrong wei....

Um, why is she there? Security!!

Group pic! man this photo is so good! but it would have been the best picture, if only the camera person is in it :(

haha, its ok la, im use to it :)

Goodbye Manchester United,

thanks for bringing Malaysians together,
and show them what Malaysian football is really about.
Thanks for giving me the chance,
to cheer for my country's ex-hopeless sport.
and thanks for making me look forward to,
that one day when Malaysia will beat Man U :D

a saturday poem

It may be an adrenaline competition out there,
but to be in a room of serenity and peace,
where no worries are needed to be cast on anything,
and when all you have to do is, lay down.

To wake up in the morning without the urgency of an alarm,
Knowing there's nothing to feel guilty for,
closing my eyes and rest my awaken mind once more,
ah what a feeling :)

The tree leaves waving outside my window,
rustles gently,
with no rush at all for their nature of growing,
why can't everything be as peaceful as this :)

I drag a slot of piano pieces into the media player,
from that second onwards,
the room lost its rigidity and everything seems so light and happy,
A smile ran out of my lips :)

Its a nice feeling isn't it?
to see things in slow motion, as if everything slows down by a second or two,
don't be mislead by the slow motion of action movies,
but be mesmerized by the wonderful art of stagnant.

Let the musical notes wraps my heart,
and nature's dancing be my guide,
to appreciate everything there is in a second,
and of what a beautiful Saturday can actually mean :)

My Room

=) i like it

We are the Stage Directors

Its been a week since Talentime Night ended, the event of the year i shall labelled it :) But due to the hecticness that is still going around school, work and play, i don't have the time to write a full post on it.. YET.



However, it was really a blessed night. And again the stage wowed even me myself just as it did the last time during sbs night. My prayers were the same for both events, that the stage is gonna look so obvious that it was by God. And indeed, it was by God's own hand that the stage became such a huge sucess. I'm not boasting of myself here, i am boasting of my God! Good feedbacks kept swimming in from the judges, the principal, the school officials and of course the students. As for the Student Affairs Officer, he said it was the best since 2001.

2001!!! I was still in primary 5 when that stage was built!

Praise You All Mighty! :)


Due to the straint and long hours of TT, my studies needs quite a lot of catching up. Second year says everyone, that it is sooo tough and hard and you gotta play serious or you'll perish bla bla bla. Well of course i haven't been through second year to tell others whether it is hell or heaven, but so far... It's always heaven when you know Who's looking after you :) Come on people!

For those that have been curious, stop asking me my formula of balancing between studies and work, its an open secret to all, that Jesus loves me sooooo much and He loves you too :) call me and i'll tell you everything :)


The weeks to come are gonna be even more unbelievable, (every week seems unbelievable XD) uncountable assignments and exam which i never knew was gonna happen in such a massive scale. But yea, everything's gonna be alright! :D Why is it so coincidal that all these academic stuff did not clash with TT? i wonder :)



All the best to you all, Life's good, with GD XD

SBS SPORTS CARNVIAL

Been real busy with so much that, i'm trying to blog to remind myself what did i actually do throughout the rush hour weeks. Here is one of em :

Student Welfare Committee is organizing the annual Sport Carnival and being apart of it, i sibuk sibuk ask whether we should do some sort of a promotion since everyone's so eager to revolutionize the student body. (normally sport carnival is promoted through transparency, a transparent plastic with marker writings) So, because the p&p (publicity, publication and public relation) department has only one member left(back before juniors came in), i'm responsible for all the sibuk-ness i suggested =.=

And tata! therefore the "posters" above which i spend sleepless hours on it. I tried toying with photoshop and ended up making myself a fool so, i went back to browse the photos i took. Its just miraculous how non-related pictures can be made related XD

Besides that, i also did the promotion slides which i liked it myself too, and also the course to course promotion where despite tiring, where you have to wear black everyday, its actually real fun to talk in front of 400students per course =)

Well its the thrid day of sport carnival already and since day 1 the crowd has been massive, as compared to last year. So shall i say, that the publicity really worked? It made Sports Carnival sounds more to its name, then just few fellows playing sport in a formal matter :D

So to all juniors, overwrite me next year :)

There's only one slight thing i have to mention, that is to pay Jo royalty for using his picture. Now his picture is all over the college :P

An accounting student's assignment

We are having Financial Accounting this semester and its not only tough, but it carries 4 credit hours as well! And due to the change in marks ratio, assignments and coursework stands 40 % out of the final 100%. So, we were given the topic for the sub's assignment, and it was to make a video out of business topics. Do enjoy :)

We started this last minute but thankfully, we could finish it. So whatcha think bout it? :P

Below are some photos of what accountants do when they are too free.

hand stand


jump around


and jump somemore

um, do ballet poses while jumping?

The above production is brought to you by, the 6 weird fellows above that are too creative to be studying accounting, and you know i'm just kidding bout that. See yea!

Extreme Ghostbusters.

Remember that??

I was feeling nostalgic so I youtubed ghostbusters and I didn't realized thr were two kinds, the REAL ghostbusters and the EXTREME ghostbusters. I love the extreme one. Cause it was actually some scary shit.

If u've never heard or watched extreme ghostbusters...I'm sorry but u've been missing out A LOT.

Revenge of the Fallen

Hehehe, I watched Transformers 2 with kah ling yesterday. (a bit scared to go to crowded places like the cinema due to the flu but I wanted to watch this so bad so whatever la..I hope I'm fine. D: ) Such a last min thing cause we were kinda bored. Blah.

The movie had many flaws...

but it's still fabulous. Maybe cause I like action. and humour. And the entire movie is about these two. (it seemed as though the writers were trying too damn hard to put in funny jokes..NOT THAT I MIND THOUGH)

Oh yea, Megan is so hot. But I dunno..it's obvious that the director wants to please those fanboys by having some interesting camera angles around Megan. I don't mind though cause she's really hot. She can't act at all though. She basically just opens her mouth throughout the movie.

And the beginning part where the Decepticon (MY GAWD..I FINALLY GOT THE NAME RIGHT I HOPE I'M RIGHT) and the Prime/autobots..whatever fought, I was so confused lo. I dunno who and who were fighting @_@. And then suddenly got the Pretender (sexy girl) one. I'm so pissed off as to how the Prime and Decepticon fight scene..was only.. like..3 seconds??! Sam's parents are hilarious..especially the mum.

Overall, a good summer movie. Worth my RM7. Happy. ^^
