SG0007 無題

玫瑰總是那么紅

只可惜在綠葉下面

總是充滿著刺

卻使玫瑰讓人如此的著迷

 

沒有暴風雨的人生

就無法明白生命的精彩

只有走過風風雨雨

才能體會人生的可貴

SG0006 Proud to be Malaysian

Reading Malaysiakini becomes part of my life in Singapore, one of the channels I can have a look on what had happened in my country especially in the politic. Recently read a statement made by our Deputy Prime Minister, Malay First, Malaysian Second. I was so shocked where such a statement made by our Deputy Prime Minister who is the leader of our country. Is it so embarrasses to be Malaysian? Is so, when can “Malaysia’s” people unity to become Malaysian, a community that work together without racist to develop our country? Before independent, Singapore just likes Kuala Lumpur and Penang. But after 56 year, two country we start from the same line but Malaysia far behind the Singapore. Some people may said, Singapore is just an island, easy to manage. For Singapore government, it is not easy to manage an island size 710.2 km² that dense with 5 million people. They have to grab their head to manage such big amount of people within a small island. They may not do a very good job like some of the European country but to me, at least above the average. Looking backward to Malaysia, we have a lot of things compare with Singapore, yet we still far behind them.

I am Malaysian and I am proud to Malaysian. For more than 8 months I stayed in Singapore, when come to introduce myself to my new friends, I use to call myself as Malaysian. I never call myself as Malaysia’s Chinese. Even some of my friend from other country like Hong Kong or China, use to call us as Malay (they use to call Malaysian as Malay), I will tell them, not Malay but Malaysian.

當一個國家的人民失去了想象的共同體的時候，這個國家剩下的只有空殼。

SG 0005 MY Ex

It had been quite sometime looking someone to go for horror movie in Singapore, finally I found a friend who want to go for horror movie. It is not because I scared of the movie, sometime I like to go with some friends. We reached at Plaza Singapura on Sunday about 4:30 p.m and bought our ticket. The movie we watch was “The Ex”.

Basically the stories an actor who broke up with his pregnant girl friend and fall in love with others ladies. The pregnant ladies later committed suicide and she becomes the ghost who kills all his other girl friends.

Honestly, I though Thai horror movie will be quite scary. However this movie had disappointed me. We paid money for horror actually to be expected to be scared by the movie, but the movie never did this part successfully.

1. The movie more like using the sound effect to scare the audiences. It just a trick here. When come to certain moment when you felt sleepy suddenly a loud sound from the movie without any meanings
2. Story line too common, no creative at all. You will know what will happen next. The stories never made the audience felt like want to know what will happened next.
3. The movie actually happened with in 3 day time but the way the director presents the movie like happened many days already.
4. The reporter was dead without any reason at all. I still can’t understand why the ghost wanted to kill him.
5. a good horror movie must make the audience almost can’t breath, but The Ex fail to do so. I still remember when i first time watch Alien, I almost can’t breath when the alien start hunting the human. You just never know what will happen next. You will just hope that they are fine.

Overall Comment, no worth to have a watch if you like horror movie.

SG0004 Inner Thoughts

同樣的景色；不同的心情；詮釋的角度也不一樣

喜歡一個人走在新加坡的大街上，享受一個人的下午。我可以拿著一臺40D或是µ8000 就這樣邊走邊拍。廣大的城市，一個人走在艷陽下，帶著一點的寂寞和孤單，把心情攝在鏡頭。

I like to enjoy my whole afternoon carrying my 40D or µ8000 walking alone in the city. Together with my loneliness, I capture my feeling into the lens.

Same sceneries, different mood, interpretation will be different.

This picture i took when i walked with a friend at the Esplanate. A lots of balloons floating on the river.  From the far, we could see some writing on the balloons. It just a quiet Friday……

SG0003 Legion…..

I went for a movie called “Legion 《基督再臨》” with a friend at The Cathay. It was later Sunday afternoon but the cinema almost fully occupied.

 

About the movie:

After God loses faith in humanity, the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany), who has become a fallen angel, is the only one standing between mankind and Armageddon. This time using angels to execute the Last Judgment, God's wrath descends on Earth to exterminate the world's population. In a desperate, last-chance gambit, Michael leads a group of strangers in a small New Mexicodiner to become unlikely heroes to protect a young waitress (Adrianne Palicki). Ultimately, Michael sacrifices himself to protect Charlie and Jeep from Gabriel, but Gabriel catches up with them and tries to kill the baby, but is stopped by Michael who God has resurrected as an Archangel. Apparently Michael's actions have restored God's faith in humanity and he has given Michael a second chance. Michael defeats Gabriel and heads back to Heaven with him, leaving Jeep to protect Charlie and the baby who will grow up to lead humanity out of the darkness of the Apocalypse that has occurred.

Comment:

Don’t watch the movie from the view of religion although it use bible as the background of the movie. The story is more between how human face the angle and the demon.

I can’t said that this is a very good movie but you thinking of going for a movie, may be this can be one of your choice.

SG0002 To start to write….

It is always easy to start a writing for the first few lines, but when i try to further elaborate my writing, i found that my brain suddenly got blank. I found myself so difficult to complete a single essay after i left my secondary school. Thinking back those day in the secondary school, when i sat for the exam, i always able to finish an essay with 300++ words within 40 to 50 minutes. However coming to my age now, i found i don’t even can finish single essay with 100 words within 40 to 50 minutes. Why?

May be I am getting old….

May be I am getting useless….

May be i should read more and think more….

May be ……

Sharing a short story with you all.

Last year, before i came over to Singapore, i accidentally thrown my passport into laundry. My passport was damaged. I sent it to Immigration office. They asked me to write a formal appeal letter so that I can get a new copy of passport as early as possible. Now, the problem come. How am I going to write a formal letter? I forgot the format, the proper way of writing a formal letter. I quickly grab a sample of a formal letter from one of the office beside the Immigration Office. It took me about 4 hours to complete a simple formal letter. It was hard task for me as i have to use proper Malay language to write this letter.  After I finished my letter, i was thinking about my writing skill. For me, this kind of letter when i was in secondary school, i should able finish it within one hour. However it took me more than 4 hours to completed it after i left my secondary school for 12 years.

I think this should be the time, i need to read more and write more to polish my writing skill.

Practice make perfect…..

SG0001 Beginning ….

It is time for me to begin my blogging life. Having to say that, i need to cut short a bit my gym time and my chatting time. I need to reserve sometime for me to do some writing here.

To continuing blogging throughout a year, is not an easy task as i can see I fail to do so during 2009, nevertheless this is a new beginning for me year 2010.

I wish to use this little space to share my life, my experience, my thought with those who read my writing.

This picture I took when I was at the peak of Kota Kinabalu Mountain. I was so excited when i reached the peak. After 7 hours walking a day before and 2 hours from 2:00 a.m in the morning, finally i reached the peak. I still remember when i started to go up to the peak, I nearly want to give up because of the breathing problem. However, I managed to overcome it and reached the peak around 4:45 a.m. Similarly to my blogging journey, I wish i won’t stop at here but i will keep doing it.

但愿能夠在有生命的歲月里，為自己留下一些回憶……
