就普通一张合照。

一道门，也让我们玩了半个小时。

我们当晚的女主角，欣霓。

梁朝伟与刘德华的分别，在于前者能在镜头下带来真实感，梁朝伟永远 都是每个导演心目中的影帝，叶金华也是其中一个。

MacBook Pro

Still got 2 more months and my car loan will officially paid off!  Where is my fireworks and champagne?!

Oh I forgot... my MacBook Pro still on loan..... 

Gorgeous...

Silky smooth keyboard that feels like touching a virgin nipple.

Feature VS implementation.

Oh. Did anyone notice WALL-E startup tone when fully recharged via solar panels sounds like Mac startup tone?

And there will be no escape from Kak Yu ever since I kidnapped the above MacBook Pro from her. And yes, she is my boss. The one who sold me the Mac after like bought it for, erm.. few days?

吉华国中 － SMJK Keat Hwa ( I )

傍晚六点多，太阳快下山了。妈的！睡迟了！赶快拿了相机，飞到吉华国中去。对！这就是浪费我青春的地方。

满地都是落叶，感觉好像很落寞。。。

 

妈的！原本是要来拍稻田的，还记得我曾经在下课时，跑到稻田那儿去钓鱼，中学还过得蛮写意的，现在无端端多了那么多栋楼，看到都肚烂！我的鱼统统死完了！

八年前，这棵树的高度相等于那投篮板，打篮球一Air-ball时，就会看到许多落叶和被打断的树枝飞得满地都是！现在的它，妈的！还蛮壮观的！学校的园丁是没白拿薪水的！赞！

校园里完全没有人，就只有小猫两三只！

“起立！老。。师。。早。。安。。！” 

刘秋天进到课室第一句话：“老麦！！！ 你的课本叻？！”

“我不知道今天有你的课喔。。。”

“。。。。。。。。。。。”

（刘秋天脸上出现很多省略号。）

这时，我就会很主动的走到课室外面，跑到华乐室里练笛子。

刘秋天，我还是很喜欢上你的中文课！偶尔是有点“怪烂”而已！

学校的桌子，还是有那么多的用途。

一就是用来转情达意，二就是用来考试作弊！

完全看不懂这些小子在涂鸦什么。

More complicated than Da Vinci Code.

这就是我华文课逃课的好去处！华乐室！

当年和几位死党绘的壁画，尽然还在！而且色泽保存得很完美！

现在看回去，好像少了当年的气势，可能当年的我们，很容易满足吧。

结果，在我那班死党里，只有我一个人在中学毕业后是读艺术的！

（妈的！鞋箱很左定！）

我练笛子的好地方，够清静，够凉爽！最重要的是，能够 attract 在这经过的女同学!

妈的！看到这个就有够肚烂!

有什么所谓领养不领养的烂臭东西！

DXN logo should have change to a better kick ass corporate identity like the stencil shown above, much more appropriate for this blood sucking company! DXN rocks like no tomorrow!

吉华国中华乐团 always kick ass!! Even without DXN!!

在校园里绕了一圈又一圈，电话响了，是我妈，是时候死回去吃晚餐了。

文中提到吉华国中是浪费我青春的地方，只是纯属虚构。

毕竟，我一半的人生，都是在此渡过，说对它没感情，是骗人的。

当天，校园里完全没有人影，

不知为何 ，就是听到上课的钟声，学生的笑声，

还有周会时，全校共同唱校歌的歌声。

加埋日落，反正我当时就是他妈的情绪够力错钟复杂到想要流泪的地步！

妈的！永远爱吾吉华！！！

Be Kind Rewind

Yesterday night I've gone all emo watching Be Kind Rewind, my tears drop like no tomorrow when it comes the end of the film. Truly, beautifully crafted by Michel Gondry, it tells a great story about how you don't really need hi-end sophisticated film equipments to make a movie. All you need is your friend around you, and clearly for the joy of filmmaking. I need to find back my "semangat" now, as today I just knew that Joonhan new debut film will screen at the Venice Film Festival. Congratulations! Your the man! Will help you like no tomorrow! Help me escape from H8LL!

回到了中学的感觉。

今天，接到了一通电话，是音乐学院打来的,“你今天会来教笛子吗?"

史特!我完全忘了这回事!我也还没答应说我会收学生,但已经开始有学生会在7.30到达那音乐学院.

我一盖了电话,马上冲到大厅，把我封印已久的笛子袋拿出来,马的,它已被蜘蛛's 霸占了,灰尘大概有0.5公分厚,不行!我不可以让学生看到我那样糟蹋自己的笛子袋,一定要树立个好榜样, 可是我没有那么多时间,顺手拿起一块烂布,咦,不对!那是我平时拿来抹... 的一块布.史特!不理了!反正到时回来在洗过.糟糕！找不到我的教程,怎么办?没有教程,要如何去教学生呢?不要紧!反正今天是第一堂课,在半小时里,应该可以以一个很长的intro带过.不需要怎样教吧..

一切准备就绪,以最快速度冲到SS2,还有点时间,在临近的Mamak打包了Teh Ais,就当作是晚餐.花了些时间找那音乐课室,喔,原来已经改头换面了,不再是李维松了,而是魔棋.不理了!~反正没时间去管那么多!在我要爬上楼梯当儿,无意中看到一位手里紧握着一把笛子的小妹妹,刚从车子里走出来,我心安了!她手里还拿着一本教程,哈哈!我不需要找我遗失的那一本教程了,太好了!不愧是我第一个学生!前途无量!

于是我就当没发觉她,一起走进那音乐学院,到柜台去报到,问:"有几个学生?"Admin:"这是one on one 的class."太好了!我最喜欢一对一,较容易办事,也不需要面对太多的学生,问题也自然的少了很多!你看,我是在完全不知情的状况下去教课,心里感到有点内疚,希望有时间的话,可以补她一点时间,让她多学一点.

过后，进到一间超冷的教室，只有我们两人，脑袋还是一片混乱，不知要从何下手，到底要怎样从零开始教起呢？不理了！总之，想到什么就说什么的心态去教就对了！在我开始教她的时候,中学的感觉及回忆,一点一滴,很朦胧的,就像藏在抽屉已久的照片,浮现在我脑海里.我想起当初在中学时的第一个学生,想起在树下练习笛子的状况,想起一起去槟城看演奏会,想起所有团员一起博命合奏,在华乐比赛获取辉煌成绩.哇噻!原来我以前花了不少时间,要我妈载我去练习,载我回家!还用了不少我妈的钱去买笛子.甚至为了华乐,不读书,跟我妈吵架.还记得有一次在练习唢呐的时候,因为太吵,给外人用砖头丢向我们,只差那么一寸,就脑浆横飞了.

其实,从我家到那音乐学院的那段路程,我一直在挣扎着,到底要不要收学生好呢?脑里只想到公司还有很多工作等着我去完成，万一又杀出一个什么 Assignment, 又要我赶出带，然后选择放弃学生，那我将会成为一个毫无责任感的教师。

我教完课后,决定了!决定继续留下,把所有我所学的,所经历的,都"教"给她.反正自己收着,也不知道要留给谁,公司的事,管不了那么多,宁愿面对一班天真无邪的孩子,选择逃避公司里某些戴假面具做人的同事，选择晚上上班，到隔天早上才回家。黑肠小姐...或许你说得对,但是因为某些人,造就了现在的我,对别人禁忌及不信任,这也不是我所要的,但偏偏那一些事情就是围绕着我身边团团转.

那小妹妹在临走前很小心地对我说：“谢谢。老师。” 我赶快回她一句，“我没那么老，别再叫我老师！” 语气有点重，希望没把她给吓坏了。

无论如何，环境乾坤大挪移！接招吧！

好想回家睡觉。

从去年至今天，我只见过我妈一个星期，而且还要赶回公司，把工作给完成。就在那210天，我只见过我妈7天。

家，已经很久没回过家了。很久没跟我妈一起睡，谈个通宵。

“开玩笑！你还跟你妈一起睡？你几岁喔？？”

我曾经为了这一句话，跟朋友殴打了起来。那一天回到家，我妈看到我身穿的校服，有几个不明显，但看起来谁都懂是鞋印的痕迹，她问我，是不是跟同学打架了？我说没有，只是踢球，不小心弄回来的。我妈沉默了一下，也没追问。后来我心想，妈本来就懂我那天没上体育课，甚至不该穿着校服踢球，我还对我妈说我朋友踢球粗鲁，听起来好像蛮有道理。直到晚上要入眠的时候，（对。我们还是睡在一起）她无端端轻轻地盖了我一巴掌说，“同人打佼就讲啦！踢波？？阨鬼咩！” 。。。“甘都阨你唔到？？” 但我还是没把真相告诉她，只是纯粹说我不爽朋友，所以打起架来。然后她就不断的开导我，以前她过去的经历，都搬完出来讲。原来我妈以前也有她威水的一面，也跟人打过架，而且是男的。她每次都会说她的过去，有多不好，千万别学她这样。她总是喜欢在我面前把自己过去描述到很坏，然后就对我说：”仔啊。。仔。。千企唔好学我咁啊，冇前途嘅！” 我心想，是不是世界上所有的不好，造就了现在所有的好呢？又或者是我们的好，反衬了其它人的不好。如果不是我妈她所没有的好，今天的我应该不会存在吧。。。

我就是喜欢跟她在床上，谈通宵。无论心事，性事，工事，都能够谈一整晚。感觉就是很好。

现在，我在八度空间上班，完全没有自己呼吸的空间，每个星期都在赶出带子，赶Dateline。公司里的同事都当我是Godlike,什么都会做。对，技术上，我什么都会，但我不是三头六臂。公司里很多人闲着没事做，玩 Facebook, 上 MSN，要不然就看演唱会，反回来说自己有多忙，有多惨！绝对Superstar 已经体会其中队友如何偷懒，然后在老板面前说自己有多努力，那时侯我脑里马上浮现一大堆暴力画面，auto pilot 的告诉自己用那一种方式杀人是最爽快的。现在也很自然的，反正有什么不爽的，就只会想像如何以暴力解决问题。讲，我讲不赢人家。公司，没有我可以倾诉的对象，反正死的是你不是我。到后来，全部矛头都会很自然地指向我。

真的好想放假，好好利用时间，装上我刚在韩国买的 Zoom Lens，到处去猎影，好让我看得远一些。好像学Matt Harding，给人看到的是他那超烂的舞步和属于不只是他一个人的舞台。

如果说我妈还有40年寿命，我每年只是回家不到一个月。

40 x 30 days = 1200 days

1200 天 ＝ 3.28767123 年！

我只有 3.28767123 年 可以跟我妈见面。。。

我妈养了我20年，而我所做到的，是用那3年多的时间跟我妈在一起来回报她。我到底在想什么。？！？！？！

是时候改变环境了，要不然就是离开现有的环境。

Wings Of Pride - To The End

Chapter: Full Stop
"Wings of Pride" has reached to an end. A total of 9 episodes program, from teaser, general promo, opening sequence, editing, broadcast design, and a few outstation shooting, so long was the best experience I ever had working in 8tv with my colleagues along with their superb expertise. Thanks to U2, Hao Zhai and Xin Yi, best teammates ever. Footages are still fresh in my mind, their definition of life are simple yet hard to accomplish without determination. Last episode, last VO (Voice Over) , 30 second of conclusion, 9 sentences from 9 interviewees, form another great meaning and definition which I really felt for it. Everything with a beginning has an end, hope we could do this together, again...

Chapter: Comma
Been given 2 months, 4 opening sequences, 20 seconds each, checked my calendar, well... still have time.

Chapter: Exclamation mark (!)
After "Wings Of Pride", I've been assigned to another program. My worst nightmare, it's the "PSS"! I'm satisfy with what I had and what I do now, just that doing reality show is not my cup of tea. I'm wordless... I do not know how long I could anticipate and commit myself into this "not so real" kind of reality show which has no meaning in it. Conclusion, waste time, waste my pc's RAM, waste electric bill, waste my energy, waste airtime. Just another show that give fake hope to youngster. Pity them...

耳膜破了！

Sorry, wrong lane...

Someday, someday, I'm gonna pick the right lane.
No point for me to be the first one in the first place,
Somehow, somewhat, I chose the wrong lane.
Or should I just.. slow down my pace....?

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.

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.
