quick update

rise and shine. \(=o-)/ thats the weather every morning currently. it is very bright and hot until midday. then came d dark cloud and thunder. like a constipated sound made in the toilet. going to rain or not going to rain. the whole scene is like a bad B grade horror movie. i sprained my ankle the other day. but now OK already. blessed Ammeltz yoko yoko. i wonder if i can die from eating too much peanut butter. i started drinking krating daeng instead of coffee. i'd should probably get insulin too just incase. my life is so banal...

random post no... i forgot...

yesterday Mel and i went to midvalley to catch the euro film fest. but alas... the queue at the cinema was super looooong. so we decided to just loiter around and go to the bookstore. anyway, theres this asian network of major cities 21 exhibition and cultural events going on at the other side of the building. there were Seoul, Taipei, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo booths. we continued by taking all the freebies and ate the free food offered. the Korean were performing a super awesome drum hitting? it was like a clash between modern drum and traditional. they even use this huge ice cube as musical instrument. they are full of vigor and energy. so hard to take pictures...

the Tokyo booth was the most awesome of all. this lady is performing "kamikiri" (paper cutting entertainment,the performer cuts out elaborate silhouette of figures using only scissor and a sheet of paper)





doraemon! haha!

we went home with the awesome paper cutting. Mel got the tiger and i got a cool black beetle. yatta!

Movie review

I watched three movies this week. Two are awesome and one is anything but awesome.


1)Jeux d'enfants (Love me if you dare) 2003 directed by Yann Samuell
this movie is on Youtube, go and watch it if you dare. i kid i kid. this movie is about two people that love each other truly madly deeply ala "savage garden" song. Sophie and Julien played a dare game which often lands them into trouble. they carry on the game until they grew up and were forced to stop the game. from the beginning of the movie we know that they belong to each other. but since you have to fill in 80 minutes of the film, the writer decided to make the love more complicated. they both ended up marrying the persons they do not love and be miserable. like a yo yo, they cant function properly without the other. so in the end they decided to play the last and ultimate dare. cementing themselves in a concrete block. this is film is so full of angst and edgy. i like it. not cheesy and spewing rainbows at all. a lot of the scenes are endearing and sweet. the transition from childhood to adult is nicely done. its playful and dreamlike for the first half and the other half are darker and depressing. the song la vie en rose was played through out the movie...Marion won Oscar 4 years latter for portraying Edith Piaf. i'm going to download the song now...



2) Låt den rätte komma in (Let the right one in) 2008 directed by Tomas Alfredson
this movie is about 12 years old Oskar who was bullied in his school. he found comfort from Eli, who turns out to be a vampire. i watch this movie courtesy from Mel. thank you mel chan! i brand this movie as "THE BEST VAMPIRE MOVIE ever!!!" this is also another love story but the love is in an unadulterated form. the portrayal of a vampire is more realistic and not cheesy at all. in fact, it is downright bloody. the vampire in this movie is more realistic unlike other more glamorous vampire like in Blade or Buffy. the extent of loneliness and desperation a vampire had to go through in order to survive are shown in this movie. life aint easy for a vampire yo! overall, i have no negative thing to say about this movie. its bloody amazing and beautiful. the CGI are not exaggerated and the scenery is so nuance and beautiful it looks almost like a photograph.



3) Wanted 2008 directed by Timur Bekmambetov
My house mate lent me the DVD and boy... i'm glad i didnt watch it in cinema. after watching the first 10 minutes i want to shout WTF?!!!! i dont know where to begin... this movie is total BS! over the top and take ridiculousness to PhD level! the characters contradict themselves. kill one and save thousands my ass. they should all kill themselves because not only they are hypocrites and hazardous to unarmed civilians, which THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT! take for example the train scene. WTF?!!!! hundreds of innocent people died while our hero can escape with only a few scrape and bruise? i hate this kind of hero. selfish and contradictory. and yeah, the level of ridiculousness is sky high. i should check my underwear and napkin for hidden message! maybe the message will read "Made in China". plus why recruit Wesly while Fox can not only bend a bullet, but fcking made it goes 360˚!!!? heh! the saving grace for this movie came from the actors (Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy).

three wise monkey

okay.. maybe not so wise...

Stop motion animation

First attempt on stop motion animation. the quality is bad because it was done entirely with my cell phone. i'll do a better one on next attempt. enjoy!


Title: Monster Muse (0:53)

Happy Halloween

Close call

Ignore the new banner, its my lame attempt on emo art and Halloween. Anyway, the other day the cab i took nearly hit a cow. Is the cow trying to end its life? i dunno.. but really close to hitting it. Its a brown color cow. It suddenly appeared and crossed the road like nobody's business. I was like "Holly cow holly cow, we almost hit a cow..." Its terrifying and amusing at the same time. Yet the enormity still there.

One day in October

Uugh...the past few days were total nightmare... i was like in a badly done trashy reality show. No script, no cameras and no art direction. It started with my very first hung over on weekend, continued with the big move from Kelana Jaya back to Cyber and the complicated VISA procedure that emptied my pocket as well as energy. Things were really messy. I made multiple trips from school to TOA just to settle the never ending Student visa. Theres a lot of things i haven't done yet except making an ass out of myself. I shall update this blog after I finish writing the dreaded internship report. Last but not least, a big THANK YOU to Rapp Collins (http://rapp.com/)
The past two months internship had been truly a fun and unforgettable experience. hi 5!

Hip hip huraaay!

Yee haaaa!!!

Cal, i really like the poster design =D awesome concept.

Urhg...

I hate the rain and early morning bus ride. If u are five feet tall, feel free to smell arm pits and sweats, get crushed inside billion of sweaty people and then get elbowed on ur head. I effin hate the first day of the week! What a horrible way to start a week. I have the sourest mood on the building now.

One Day in August

If someone told me that i will start sleeping at 10pm everyday two months ago, i'd reply "No way.. my eyes are still bling bling bright until 1pm" But now i'll probably reply "Oh yeah... better sleep soon, the earlier the better..ZZzzzzz"

Public Service Announcement,
If you are infront of the computer for a long period of time,
Feeling down, or stresed out,
Not feeling well,
Then get this,


Ammeltz Yoko Yoko!!!

This stuff works wonder!

Remakes

Rec (2007) Spanish, nicer poster!

Quarantine (2008) Hollywood, ugly poster!
Why remake such a good movie?!!! and within a year?!!
Rec is filmed with similar style ala "Blair With Project", where the audience got the first person view of the event. It is like watching a vacation video except this time its horror. Anyhoo, Rec is not your typical zombie-disease-infection movie. It is more like the interaction and reaction you get when you are trapped inside a house with a zombie/monster like creature. Unlike other zombie/living dead movies, the hero and heroine in this movie do not act like a damn superhero with unlimited bullets and guns or power to jump fences and all, uninjured. The characters in this movie behaved naturally. They screamed a bloody lot and panicked. They do not kick ass at all. Unlike some movies, the hero or heroine appeared too controlled. The best part about this movie is that the first person view with the cam recorder do not make me get motion sickness... unlike "Cloverfield". (I puked at the end of the movie)
lets boycott this year movie's "Quarantine"!

Cute!!!!

Watchmen 2009

So the other day Ron and i went to watch movies and we got to see "Watchmen" trailer. The song is bloody awesome. It incorporated with the scenes so nicely.


The song is by the Smashing Pumpkins –"The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning"

poof!

I'm sure some of you ve heard of this joke =)

Some things are better viewed far far away....

I thought it was a good idea to snap pictures today... (do something productive) rather than moping around for the whole day. So i took out my SLR. I returned to my room after snapping pictures from the balcony. To my surprise, i found an itsy-bitsy spider crawling near the wardrobe. Then i took some picture of it...



Then i go and zoom...































I HATE MYSELF!!!! aaaccckkk!!!! gross gross... i'm gonna ve nightmare after this.
Anyway, my life here is pretty mundane and banal. Nothing much to blog about =.=''
sigh... so bear with me.

This is Brilliant!

a gun and a woe

Pineminator.... I'll be back...

Hello angels....
Hi Pineapple! (im sorry for the bad movies references)
Anyhoo, im back from a long holiday. There is an electricity shortage going on in indo. Not good at all. PLN (penjahat listrik negara) should be locked up in jail. grrrr... Some pictures from back home,







dats gou gou's tail. looks like duster.

I was in time to watch Barbie meet and greet in the mall. They are promoting the latest Barbie movie, "Barbie Mariposa" which strangely rhyme with "menopausa"
My delicate eyes are assaulted by pink blindness. The whole stage are decorated with pink and glittery ornaments. Theres like hundreds of kids there, coaxing their parents to buy some barbie merchandise (which are highly overpriced)
When the model wearing fake blond wig appear, the kids went wild screaming BaaaarrBBiiiiieee~~~~~ zeez... parents, dont ya know barbie is the root of plastic surgery? seriously, my ear almost went deaf. I'm truly amused. I can see one day in the future barbie will run for election.

Theres something i found disturbing about this poster...

School will start this Monday. I'm living in a money sucking hostel, it is run by money thirsty limpet. No kidding! Everything evolves around money. Sucks sucks sucks!
Im inside a dark but luckily not smoky internet cafe. Will update more pictures soon.
Cyberjaya is hell's pit...

One day in June

My room looks like a construction site. Nearly poke my eye out with a screw driver. Damn Ikea rack... Under autopilot mode for the rest of the day....like an amoeba moping around. Have to move out everything by end of this month. I hope an alien will abduct me... I haven't clean Hamster's A cage. Still in grieving stage. Somehow i'm responsible indirectly. I'll update this blog after i sort things out.

Simones Labyrinth (El Laberinto de Simone) 2003

SIMONES LABYRINTH (El Laberinto de Simone) GERMAN+ING+SPA
Uploaded by sevenrain

No, Simone is not Pan's cousin or friend with Ofelia. This short movie is dark and creepy which blurs the line between dream and reality. Simone lives with her mom and about to go on a field trip to Austria. Inside the bus, she told her friend that they are all her dream and the bus will eventually crashed and killed them all. Go watch!
p/s Simone really gives me the creep. She can go fight with Freddy Krueger. I bet she wins.

Blondie-Heart of Glass

Lets bask in the glory of the oldies. This song is totally awesome.
