Ipoh 1 Day Trip

Last Wednesday was Chen Ying's temporary "transporter" driving all the way from KL to Ipoh for her job interview as a dietitian in a hospital since I'm not doing anything. I couldn't sleep at all the night before we travel because of insomnia. Beside me and Chen Ying, we still have our little yellow friend here called "Gary" travel along with us. I didn't even know he got a name until Chen Ying found out.

After the interview, we going through the food guide that Chen Ying brought along and we went to some pretentious cafe called "Indulgence". I already felt like a dead fish without coffee consumption, so we have a little rest at the cafe having Tiramisu and Blueberry Cheesecake. Thanks for the treat, Chen Ying.




I do not know how Chen Ying will get used to this place if she really get the job she interviewed. Ipoh is a town for you to meditate if you are tired and being frustrated by all the daily routines in big city like KL. There's rarely any entertainment around the town.

After our "meditation", we went to the well known Ipoh Nga Choy Gai (Ipoh Chicken Beansprouts) Restaurant called Lou Wong which always packed with people. Juicy...

What was I thinking blogging about food early in the morning at 6:30am..? Off to breakfast now. Chiao!

Possessed The Movie

Nowadays, actors and actresses in Malaysia seems do not realize that they are preparing funerals for their career acting in shitty movie like the recent "HORROR" movie directed by Bjarne Wong. It is indeed a horror film, terribly horrible...

After Legend of Red Curse, Bjarne seems to make one step further by disappointing everyone in the cinema. Besides seeing Amber Chia doing the break dance thing in her room, 15% of nice looking transvestite Harisu, I almost felt asleep and spent 60% of my time in cinema laughing...

The only one with decent acting skill was Sharifah Amani in the entire movie. But too bad, Bjarne make her look worst in her acting. Bad directing.... please stop this madness...

WTF is this..?? Please be honest with your brother, Bjarne. He CAN'T fucking act at all. Please sent this sissy back to his own fabric cutting job. He was already a "legend" in the Legend of Red Curse. So let him be..

I already told myself not to waste time blogging unworthy shitty movie. But to improve Malaysian film industry, I kindly ask all the audience to protest against shitty movie like the Possessed and ban Bjarne Wong forever.

My Heart

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical practise that can treat our illness by inserting needle to our certain chakra point. Yesterday I just run through one of this test by my senior, Chen Yun. But this medical device is very different from acupuncture. This little thing need electric currency in order to excite your chakra point by maneuvering the needle (not the the one that poke through skin like acupuncture do) on your palm. Each certain chakra point link directly to your certain organ. If one of your organ fail to work properly, you will feel a little electric shock at that certain chakra point on your palm. The chart above shows all the chakra points that link to our certain organ.

Personally, I think this device is very user friendly. Any idiot could use it for body check up. But to treat illness is another matter. I find it quite complicated reading those chart and guide. It somehow relate the five element of natural phenomena, which is Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element represent different organ. This stuffs are eazy to learn, but to master it is another matter. Going to meet another Wong Fei Hung next week to check out his skill, he just need to hold your wrist and he will tell everything about your health. Hehe...

Abstract Pornography

Playing with my DSLR, manually shot with 200 shutter speed and F/5.4. Nothing has been change except the font and the little boxes I added in later.

350D!

Finally got my new toy..!!! Argh..... My savings exchange with another form of investment..!! 30D! You are next!!!

Picture with stories..

Nothing fancy about this picture that I randomly took when we were on our way to Genting in LRT. Somehow when I look at it, this picture itself is already a synopsis of 3 person with different feelings and stories behind them that happened at the split of second when I push the shutter button. At the moment I took this picture, I wasn't even thinking any of them. What can you see in this picture?

Skali? Asing la!

Skali - Love Life Friendship, just watched this so-called HD movie in Cineleisure with Ivan and Jason last Tuesday, and there's only 3 of us, the ultimate 3 sohais in the cinema. The sohainess of me that always banned local film, but still will give out my money which can spent on some good food at mamak stall to give my support to our local film makers. I don't know what Im smoking....

Ok, back to Skali.. Im surprise I can stuck my butt on the seat and watched until the credits roll off. (oops.. it wasn't even a rolling credit). Joon Han told me that a reporter ask him this question at Venice Film Festival, it goes,"How's the short film in Malaysia?" He answer, "Everyone seems to make a short film into a full length feature." I strongly agree with that. S'kali should just end in half an hour, (that's the timeframe that I took my bath, wipe my silky ass, comb my hair, spray cologne and tie my shoes) or could have been better it it's a 15 minutes DV movie.

What I can see in this movie is just a bunch of spoiled rich brats who own a DOPOD, everyone seems to carry a MacBook around and should have been lepak in Starbucks instead of mamak, hell, Perantauan Pictures can even include Starbucks as one of their sponsor.

This movie is about 5 friends who want to persue their own dreams. An wannabe director Indian fella, a girl who was obviously English educated that claimed her family was a extreme typical Chinese family (if it's really typical Chinese, the girl should have been sent off by her parents into Chinese school at the first place by not worrying having a Chindian grandson). An extreme emo Chinese guy who get frustrated by not getting overseas scholarship, the one who screwed up every "yamcha" session. (Personally, I think he looks good being a gangster more than a student who cried for scholarship) And a girl name Tehmina who have booze all the time but have no sign of getting drunk... fucking amazing... And her friend react as if she was taking drugs... lagi amazing!

I don't understand why the production team doesn't seems to change or re-export the whole dvd even though they managed to extend their screening time. Weird composition that confuse audience, some scenes seems like out of focus, Yasmin Ahmad who appear from nowhere...

I still agreed that it's eazy to write what I feel. I love it, I hate it... So, Im writting it now. That's all about it, going for yamcha session now. And we'll see which generous sohai friend of mine will "kira skali" later...

Identity

Was browsing through my old file and saw some motion graphics that I did for Amok Films when I first join in. Just add in some mysterious ambience and pretencious sound effects to enhance the feel of the whole sequence...

My Life Support System

This, is my life support system. Without her, I won't be here on planet earth. My mother has both serious and cool personality. Sometimes she can be as hard as a rock. Sometimes she just slumber the afternoon away. She have split personality too. She's a Buddhist, she's a leader among my family, she always wrestles with me, she always win.

And look at her shirt.

She loves LINKIN PARK!

The Banquet

Watched The Banquet yesterday. At first I thought this is another Wuxia film, I was expecting alot of fighting scene in this film since Yuen Wo Ping was the choreographer for this film. After watching it, nothing surprise me anymore, may be Yuen already out of his wire trick. The whole film was so draggy. When the Emperor start to talk, I feel like going to pee, after that, I decided to buy a box a popcorn. I waited in line, after I got my popcorn, I feel thirsty, I got back in queue again to buy Coke. Then I met up with another gang of friend who came to watch other movie, we have a chit chat, then my friend remind me:" Aren't you suppose to watch the film." Oh yeah I almost forgot! So, I decided to get back to my seat and ask my friend, "What did I missed?" My friend told me, "The Emperor still havent finish his first line."

The selfish Empress, Zang Zi Yi. Im just curious, China has the largest population on planet earth. Why the heck she always appear in every epic genre film?? Boring as usual...

The Emperor, the one who killed his own brother and took over his crown and the Queen (Zang Zi Yi).

The pussy drama Prince, the one who just know how to sing, stage play and barely know how to kick ass.

Qing Nu, the one who really felt for the prince. I just wonder why can't she be the evil selfish empress instead of Zang Zi Yi. She was quite a bitch in Perhaps Love. And she got a fake smile. Beware....

The last half an hour really suffocate me. When everyone start to die one by one in the Banquet. All because of this bitch, the selfish Empress. At the end, the Empress was stabbed by a sword which wield by the Prince. But the film didn't show who stabbed her. So, everyone been asking what the heck is going on here?? Who kill her.?! As the credit roll out, I decided to wait until the credits end and was expecting some trick that Xmen III used. But no results. The film claim that DESIRE who kill everyone in this film. For me, I think is the Director who killed the Empress, cause she's such a bitch. Erm.. second thought, the Director actually killed everyone in this film! There's a conspiracy theory, he got his hidden message, he want to reduce China's population! He foresees the future of China.. Oh Im such a genius.!

Anyway, to be honest. This film is much much much much much much more better than The Promise. I like the setting and the stage which appear in the Bamboo forest.

See anything familiar below this?
The Masked Man and the No Face from Spirited Away. Haha

Oh yeah! Just for your information, the director Feng Xiao Gang actually acted in Stephen Chow Kung Fu Hustle as the Crocodile Gang Boss.

Kenko Diet Plums

Lots of people have been searching through all over the web for "Kenko Diet Plum". For those who are interested in this product, I would like to share some information with you all.

Are you suffering from overweight, constipation, desperate to get all undischarged faeces, fat which store in your body? For your knowledge, for those who claim to have no constipation, there are still 2-3 kg (equivalent to a bowling ball) of undischarged stool on the intestine wall.

Kenko Diet Plum is the combination of nature and biotechnology which doesn't contain any chemical. Comsumption of Kenko Diet Plum will create a bowel movement, for instance increasing peristalsis.

Precaution: Pregnant woman, children under 3 years old and for those with weak constitution are not recommended to consume Kenko Diet Plum.

For those who allergic to seafood, please get medical advice before consuming Kenko Diet Plum. One of Kenko Diet Plum is Chitosan, taken from chitin and it is process by removing the shells from shellfish such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. In the past Chitosan was used to detoxifying water from oil, grease and absorb toxic subtance.

Kenko Diet Plum, a remedy from Japan and it was made in Taiwan.

Its rather expensive for me when I first consume it. For small pack of Kenko Diet plum cost RM126 which include 2 packet of Kenko Diet Plum, each packet consists around 12 plums. Approx. to Rm5.25 per plum.

For large pack, it cost around RM299 (not yet discount) which include 5 packet. You do the rest of the Math.

Yet I think its quite worth it for ladies who need it for slimming purpose cause Chinese always say want pretty don't want life.

Laser subtitling

For me, laser subtitling is not what I can see everyday. I found it quite interesting. The film that you normally see in the cinema usually being sent to this subtitle company for etching process, meaning using laser to etch the subtitle on the film before being screen in cinema.

It may seems like an editing suite. But this machine is for keying in the timecode where you want the subtitle to appear. Luckily Ah Sai film is just 10 minutes. Getting all those in-point and out-point for every line of subtitles for normal feature film is insane!

This is where the etching process begin, I guess the green light is the laser beam. And the projection on the wall is what you get from etching machine. After this process the film will be clean and dry up in another machine.

Close up of the laser beam. If it is a 2 hours feature film, it will take at least 10 hours for etching. Yeah.. It works frame by frame!

Bangkok Again!

Went to Bangkok again to settle some stuff with Ah Sai preparing for Venice Film Festival. Congratulations! Although I didn't contribute much in the film besides doing opening sequence with Ivan when he was in Amok Films, Im still getting excited about it.

If you are alone in the hotel, seriously... you do not know what to do besides watching TV whole night. That night was nightmare, I heard someone renovating and climbing stairs fixing rooftop whole night. The sounds seems like a loop. Non-stop! Couldn't be supernatural thing... if it was, I just want to scream at it and ask him to shut the hell up. I couldn't slept whole night.

My hotel was quite near to Patpong at Silom Street. This is the place where all the friendly lady will try their best to approach you. Sometimes you don't even know they are the real lady...

Silom Street. Hanging around with DSLR to spent another lonely night.

Never ending night for Silom Street.

RM15 (150 baht) for 40 minutes of foot massage. Really dai dou lan!
Yup! I went there every night!

Promise To My Toi Toi

Going to watch Ninja Turtle with my Toi Toi next year. Hope one day he will become one!

Justice would Prevail.!!!

After mom when back home to Kedah. I spent most of my time with this silly. I know you still can't let go, everything doesn't seems the way you want it. I don't know how many "but" you have used in our conversation for you to form a sentence to defend him. What about yourself? Where is the Lay San I used to know back then in secondary school? The Lay San I knew always stand for herself. I knew shes still inside you. Lay San! Where are you..~~~~~?

Yes. Im being very emo recently....

她

在电脑前, 发呆了几个小时.
明明心中有数, 但却哭了...
从来没慰问过她地公公,
眼眶湿着问道,
"我几时才能够见到她?"
公公只能单独在橡胶园里默默等待,
等候消息...
子女也各都尽了自己地责任.
明天将为她整理行李, 准备轮椅,
在还没入院前, 舆公公见见面...

我相信... 她会没事...
她... 会好过来!

Globe

Nothing to do again. Was randomly seaching through my files and found some effects I did quite sometimes ago. Im still wondering how did I manage to create those kind of effects using the PC Im using now..

Boring morning

Woke up early in the morning, feel boring... Looking for something in the fridge for few times, even though theres barely nothing left in it for me to cook breakfast. In the fridge, I found an egg, leftover yok choy (herb), ice-cube, a drumstick, and bunch of long beans for my turtle. An egg wasn't enough for me to have breakfast, long beans are reserved by my turtle. So now I just got a drumstick and yok choy. Time for me to improvise my soup cooking skill. I know.. its weird to have yok choy soup early in the morning...

My mom always scold me for not learning what she capable of.. COOKING... She said I got talent.. I said:"................?!?!"

Re-cycle effects

After watching Re-cycle, a HK horror film with Camy. I tried to achieve one of the effects which appeared at the end of the show where all the ghosts are being freeze and were slice into few layers. I don't understand why they want to use this effects? But still, its a nice piece of commercial film by Pang Bros. A combination of Resident Evil, Alice In Wonderland, and Matrix. I just realize that there is no spoon at all........ You are in the Matrix...........

What will you do..?

Midnight, a friend called me. Confuse, she was. It all started when she checked her boyfriend emails and found out something suspicious. Her boyfriend's ex, still, kept in touch with him. Had written something that shouldn't be written, or should I say, something enough to make his current girlfriend jealous. I don't understand why this guy gave his password to my friend. What is he trying to prove? For TRUST that he put into her? Or just a method to make himself in control for not doing anything stupid knowing his girlfriend going to check his email. This case is like husband gave wife a key access to a bungalow. Wife found out there is a bra which do not belong to her in her husband wardrobe.

She asked me. "What should I do..?"

I can only think of 2 choices here:

1. Keep silence. Cause shouldn't have checked his email in the first place. Where is your trust for him.?

2. Confront her boyfriend, why he still keeping in touch with his ex and have such emails and risk loosing him. Cause no more trust.

TRUST, what is trust for? How long can it stay in a relationship? Or should we just spell it "to-rust" for the world we living right now.

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻

4e⁻ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 4OH⁻

Fe²⁺ + 2OH⁻ → Fe(OH)₂

4Fe(OH)₂ + O₂ → 2(Fe₂O₃.xH₂O) + 2H₂O

If relationship can explain in scientific way for rusting process like above... Wouldn't it be great?

iFEEL Girl Search 2006

Im still awake at 6am in the morning, Lou Joe sent me this link and we've been making fun of it to pass time. I know I have nothing better to do, at least I don't waste my credit and time to vote them. Ifeel Girl... sigh.. no feel at all.. sien...

Suddenly feels like listen to Fan Wei Qi's song, "Where have all the flowers gone...?~~~~"

Introduction:
Description of Geology discussion of where have all the flowers gone sixty-five million years ago when an asteroid about 6 miles in diameter struck the Earth. Not only the dinosaurs, but also about 75 percent of all other living animals and plant species were extinct and the Dinosaur Era was over.

Cameron Highland

Back to May 14th, Mother's Day, a one day trip to Cameron Highland with Joyce and Joyce's mom. My mom couldn't make it with us cause she need to be with my aunt's mother-in-law who is dying with cancer, my mom's job was to release her pain in a very buddhist way and start praying for her. May she rest in peace.

When on our way driving through the curvy narrow path along the side of the mountain, we've been stucked behind a silly bus which constantly smoked all the way up to Cameron. We lost our purpose being here to breath in fresh air... We could have overtake it, but it might be too risky.. So...

We stopped... and have a rest beside the road which have plenty of shops selling their local goods. And I saw one of Lim Kong Wing's merchandise. A monkey head made of coconut shell. Wooohoo.....

The waterfall, Joyce's mom, and me..

Tea plantations field. Too bad we don't have enough time to sip a cup of hot tea over there. At that moment, I was hoping to see Bollywood star rolling down the hill and dance like nobody buisness. It would be fun!

Joyce, you need to get your hair comb. Haha..

Path to secret garden, we found this. The Black Rose.
It appears to originate from a fairytale world which inspires mystical expectations. The so-called black rose is in fact, very dark red.

But somehow, I kept on thinking about the other Black Rose - 黑玫瑰 ... Codename for the Iron Lady with her tight shiny leather suit who steal from the rich in one of the Hong Kong comedy show. Its not mystical.. its rather stupid...

Flowers, flowers, flowers... We were once in the 花花世界...

Alien homeland!
