Our deepest fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Another perfect example of why Selena Gomez should stick to acting. Why sing when she can do a perfect scene like this................

Make your wish

I remember posting a quote from One Tree Hill awhile back but can't seem to find it anymore so i'm gonna post it again. It is arguably the best quote from the series. Its quotes like this that make the shows my favorite.........

"Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. The next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open up your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all of your heart."

And ive been doing some searching and managed to find the scene where they said it.....

What a weekend...............

Saturday , 18th July 2009Today i went to watch Man Utd play Malaysia XI. To be honest i wasn't in the mood after the 1 hour in the car trying to find parking and the half and hour walk to the stadium. But once i sat down and heard the crowd cheering and singing, nothing else mattered. I had watched (in my opinion) the greatest football players play right in front of my eyes. It match ended 3-2 in an exciting game. The fact i actually witnessed it in a stadium made it 10 times better. Rooney opened the scoring with Nani doubling the tally. At 2-0 i secretly wanted Malaysia to score some to get the game going as it was slowing down already and guess what, they did. Amri Yahyah scored a well placed chip of Van der Sar the make it 2-1 at half time. He then did it again in a much easier way in the 2nd half against Ben Foster. The remaining minutes were just fantastic. The crowd were practically screaming for Sir Alex to bring on Owen, and when he did, i thought the stadium was going to collapse. It was even louder when he actually scored in the remaining 5 minutes. Fantastic atmosphere, amazing experience.

Sunday , 19th July 2009If Saturday's events weren't enough, i went to watch Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince today at Pyramid. As much as it pains me to say this, i was disappointed. It really wasn't like the other Harry Potter movies. I think it was the kind of story that could only be placed in a book. I also thought it was a dumb move that the trailers were making it seemed as if it was an action movie. To be frank, this had everything the previous one didn't and lacked everything the previous one did. Order of Phoenix had plenty of action and duels but lacked a proper story. This one had a very good story and there were some parts where i was really into it but there weren't many duels or any magic in that case. The only duel i remembered was a brief one involving Harry and Draco. Not many spells were used and the romance part were a little too awkward. As most of you may know, i keep my word of never reading a book before i actually watch a movie.

My theory is that the book will always be better therefore ruining the movie. And some people say the movie can only be nice if you read the book. If that's true, then David Yates is a fool. Majority would have only watched the movies with out reading the book. He should have known that and should have tried really hard to turn it into a good film. I'm sorry Potter fans, i know how you feel as a fellow fan myself but the movie just wasn't good, it was missing the usual Harry-Potter-feel. One thing good i can say about the film is.......

EMMA WATSON IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson......

Rap battle

You guys may not know this but im a fan of good rap battles. Those of you who do know me, im a very big Harry Potter fan. So when i found this video, couldn't help but watch..........

Faith rarely calls upon us on a moment of our choosing

I watched Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen at Summit USJ last night. I haven't been there in ages. But i really didn't regret going there. Although Summit is practically dead compared to Pyramid and 1U, but GSC is 2 times better than TGV. The movie was great, awesome cars, awesome-er robots, hot girls, this movie had it all.

I think Michael Bay did a good job at making it a action-comedy-romance movie. The action part definately checked out because of the really really really cool robots flying all over the place. There were parts which were confusing due to Autobots and Decepticons all looking the same and there were no attempts at all to introduce the new robots. Did anyone even notice who was Arcee, Ravage, or Sideswipe? The only robots tat did get actual screen time were the twins Skid and Mudslap who were absolutely hilarious and Devastator who didnt really need an introduction ( it was the one "remodeling" the pyramid).


As for acting, i could never really comment on how good someoen acts or how bad. Shia Labeouf still looks like a small kid only taller but i wouldn't choose anyone else to play Sam Witwicky. Megan Fox.....no explainations needed. The new guy, Ramon Rodriguez who plays Leo is another actor thrown in there for the comedy factor along with John Turturro who played Agent Simmons in the 1st movie.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The effects were great although the plot may be hated by some, I found it rather creative. And i think Michael Bay made a smart choice by creating his own stories and not following the originals. This will give him space to make any sequel he wants. And the fact that he closed up every movie, he can start a new 1 very easilly. There has been a rumor that a Transformers 3 is in process but if it is, the air date will only be in 2012.

Sorry, couldnt resist....

Whats up?

I havn't updated in awhile. That's because i have nothing much to update about. I recently watched Princess Protection Program. I have been waiting for this movie since some time last year. When i heard in stars Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, i just couldn't resist. The show was not bad. Typical Disney ending. I'm glad Demi was chosen to play the princess because I always thought Selena does an excellent job at being the average-teenage-girl who doesn't care about what people thinks for example Wizards of Waverly Place and Another Cinderella Story. Their chemistry as best friends definately helped the show.
.....................................................................................


Another thing i found was a new album released by none other than Kate Voegele who plays Mia Katalano in One Tree Hill. I was a fan of her 1st album and now starting to like this album too. Its called A Fine Mess and it offers the usual taste of mixed emotions in the song lyrics.

What happened here? Judgement day happened

Yesterday was a great day. I woke up at 10 and met with the guys from Stingray around 11. We went to Pyramid to supposely watch Night at the Museum 2 but delays and other reasons we didn't get to. So we ended up watching Terminator : Salvation. I think its kinda ok if you're into that action explosions and guns kinda thing. Just take note of this, if you're a terminator fan and intend on watching it due to the intense hunger for a terminator story, do not watch this. A review in the papers described the show as ''not a terminator movie with action. instead an action movie with terminators''. I totally aggree. I think the starting plan for the movie was just to blow stuff up, the terminator name was merely a gimmick to get people to watch it. But still if you want some cool stuff flying around, go for it.

After the movie we decided to spend 2-3 hours in red box. Which was really awesome. It turned out quite cheap and we got a really big room for the 10 of us. Most of us sucked but thats the fun of karaoke right? I think all of us had a blast. And if that wasn't enough, 9/10 of us went for land training yesterday. 1 person didn't go and we still are yet to find out why. It was a fun day and one of the best outings ever.

Magic and the mystery

A few days ago a new disney movie called Hatching Pete premiered. It was a fairly good show. Disney has made several teen high school movies have the same kind of feel and i hope they continue. A typical disney cast starred with Mitchel Musso, Jason Dolley, and Tiffany Thorton. The main theme of the show is about being more open and expressing yourself more. i hope many more disney movies will turn out just as great. Oh not to mention Josie Loren who plays the leading female character is freaking awesome.

This is the song recorded by two of the main cast Mitchel Musso and Tiffany Thorton. Im practically hooked to this song right now.

What i did

I watched High School Musical 3 and Bride Wars on my computer a few days ago. I can say i enjoyed 1 of them and i expected more from the other.



HSM3 was quite good. I think the music and choreography was certainly better then the 1st 2 movies. And the story definitely better then the 2nd movie and almost as good as the original. The movie seemed more mature for some reason this time. One thing that always make me wonder when it comes to movies about high school sports teams. If people like Troy, Chad and others are seniors in this movie. And the fact that they make such an impact as the 'seniors of the squad', then when they were juniors like in the 1st movie, Troy was still captain. Gee, the seniors then must have really sucked. The same thing happened in One Tree Hill with the squad pretty much being about the Scott brothers even if they were sophomores, juniors, or seniors. but other than that, i think the show was great.



Bride Wars on the other hand could have gone better. I feel the trailers made too much of it being a comedy when they should have advertised it as a romance. The comedy section was under par and the story never really stood out. Not as much as i expected from this movie.

Weapon X

Just watched X-Men Origins : Wolverine at Pyramid today. The show was great. I have been an X-Men fan for as long as i can remember and Wolverine has always been my favorite character so you can see why i had to watch this show. Although, i was abit doubtful of the storyline as it clashes with what i remember reading about the real past of James Logan. I may be wrong still. The stunts and effects of the show were fantastic. Since i started taking interest in X-Men i have always wondered about the bitter rivary between Sabertooth or Victor Creed and Logan. The show came up with quite a good background for the hatred but still not sure whether it is real. It was fun as i was able to recognise certain mutants even if they were teens/children. Try to watch out for these : Quicksilver, Storm, Toad, Cyclops. Im sure everyone would notice Cyclops since he's an important part of the show. But try to notice the rest as you get glimspe of them and their powers. Will.I.Am was quite good playing John Wraith, the teleporter of Team X. Gambit i feel was portrayed way too strong as i remember him from cartoons or comics. Agent Zero was really cool and so was Wade. I highly recommend this show to everyone even if you're a fan of the franchise or not.

.....................................................................................

Oh, and i would like to thank the great people from Stingray that brought me out and bought a cake for my birthday. Really appreciate it. I was really surprised when you guys came out from nowhere with the cakes. Thanks alot. Oh and i mentioned cakes cause there were 2 because Shan and Yang has upcoming birthdays as well. Thanks again!

Sense of home

There is always a very special feel i get whenever i watch a Potter movie, read a Potter book or play a Potter game. I think their lives are so cool and just the weird music in the background and the magic and the mytical creatures and all those things. Besides the amazingly beautiful blonde(Emma Watson), the story of Harry Potter and his friends have a grip on me. It's one of those shows where it'll make you wish you're one of them. Life at Hogwarts seems so cool. My imagination have developed since getting the Hogwart experiece from the 1st movie 8 years ago. Since then i could always find it easy to imagine an adventure for them on my own. I always felt Hogwarts as the typical high school with chaos,teen agnst,scary teachers,nerds,losers,popular kids. All that alone it would seem normal. But mix it up with the magic theme and Quiditch and Defence of the Dark Arts and Hagrid's cabin and the feast in the grand hall and the dangers outside Hogwarts. And you shall get my ultimate fantasy life. Therefore, thank you J.K Rowling and the different directors who directed the Potter films for enlighting my life. If only it were all true.

Take me to your leader , earthlings.

Today went out to pyramid to watch Race To Witch Mountain. It was really cool. I respect the script writer who ever he is. The script was good when it came to the Aliens speaking like how aliens would speak if the came to Earth. Saying such things like referring to the door as a ''portal''. And acting blur to the things around them. AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig made the script really realistic too. Good acting from both of them. The movie was practically an action filled main course with comedy on the side. And when you see the name Dwayne Johnson, you know the comedy part is well covered. To be honest i had my doubts when the words Disney and PG13 were put together. But they pulled it off. There was really no reason for the PG 13 anyway. IMDB said it was due to too much action. Anyway good show. 9/10

Oh yea, i went for a run on Sunday. Really long story about what happened. The organisation was bad but i enjoyed myself i guess.

Kampung CNY

I came back from Pahang this evening. My trips to Pahang has always been the same. Nice weather since my relatives live in quite a ''kampung'' place. The people there are nice. The usual hotel we always stay in. But this time they added WiFi which was great. The usual visiting to the same old houses I've been going since i was like 5. Grandfather's bike still there. Oh and this time there were dogs there. Really friendly dogs. Enjoyed playing with them. And those of you who knows me, the dogs have to be REALLY friendly if i dare to get close to them. Saw my baby cousins growed up a little and starting to talk. There was a new shopping centre there. It was opposite the same temple we always go. While i was there, i watched 2 movies. Ip man and Made of honour.

Ip man was really cool. Even though the DVD we got had horrible English subtitles. I understood it pretty well. I think they filmed it well too. How every punch and every kick was taken to such great detail. It was a good reflection on how badly the Japanese occupation treated us and our homes. Makes me relieved that its all over now.

Made of honour was ok. Maybe the bad sound quality from the DVD played a role in making it seem bad. The storyline is exactly what you get in a synopsis or summary. They didn't really expand the story. The show was kinda short. Almost like a children's show. It was merely average. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Make it happen

A song from the new WOWP episode, make it happen...........
Performed by the Russo family

90210

I have just started taking interest in this show. Was always too lazy to download. Everytime i saw the trailer on tv i kept saying ''i have to watch this''. Never got to start though. But, i downloaded the 1st and 2nd episodes yesterday. Not bad. Still prefer One Tree Hill though but not bad. I've watched 3 episodes so far and i don't think the show deserves all the critical coments going around. Maybe i'm saying this because i didn't watch the original 90210. But this is still not a bad show. Worth a watch i say. At least the 1st few episodes.


Jessica Stroup who plays Erin Silver in the show is by far the best among all so far. She also starred in movies such as Prom Night and Hills Have Eyes 2. She rocks!

YES!

Yesterday a bunch of us. 19 to be exact. Went to Pyramid to celebrate Sharyn's farewell. She's going to Singapore study. Wish her all the best overseas. We watched Yes Man. It was quite a good show. I didn't know what to expect before. I thought it would be this really funny laugh-your-pants off comedy. But i didn't get that. Instead, it was a quite heart full show. It was one of those 'open your heart out to life' mixed together with a love story. Jim Carrey looked a little older than the Ace Ventura i remembered laughing at when i was younger. The female lead was Zooey Deschannel who starred as the teacher in Bridge to Terabithia and also as Kit in Failure to Launch. She played her part really good. I recommend this show to many who feels as though life isn't good enough or it just ain't worth it. If you feel that way about life, then you really have to watch it.

Minutemen

I am so amazed by this show. I've haven't watched a DCOM in ages. Who knew one could be so good. I liked this movie a lot. And I've been doing some searching and looks like many people like it too. Although, they could have thought of a better ending. But still, great movie overall. 9/10. For some reason, these high school stories just rock in my opinion. That's why i liked Sky High too. Wonder if the high schools in USA are really like this.

Generation

Didn't like this song at 1st. But after i saw it with the Heroes ad. I found it really cool.





Ok fine, i can't find the heroes ad. But i like the song now.

I like to move it move it

Just came back from 1 Utama with Jet Ming, Caroline, Kheng Hoe, Shan, Nicole, Yuan, and Yang. We watched Madagascar 2. The show was great. Great humour, great entertainment. I'm still so amused at how they made Alex the lion so much like Ben Stiller. I mean, its not just the voice, its the way he moves and waves his hands and stuff. Its so Ben Stiller's thing. Over all the movie was great i give it a.....hmm...........8/10. Here are some pictures from Shan. And check out this video. Its my favorite scene from the movie and i like the song from it.

My name is the top most. So sad my score. I really suck at bowling.

This picture is so funny
