The End is near

Im back yup yup after along while ...its back on the blog. With instagram and facebook and in between tweets, i am not too sure if any one reads blog anymore, nevertheless, i do write when i can and what i feel.

As the day grows closer to 2013, many doomsday predictions comes and some fools actually believe it, maybe the movie 2012 kinda instill the hype of it. I am glad that we are all reading it which means the world didnt end. As for me, life goes on, still many hurdles to face as we face a new year and the targets that i have set for the new year is an ambitious one.

For one thing, i can truly say that i firmly believe that fate is what we make of it, Yes, god controls fate and we are at his mercy but yet, what ever tools he gave us are the tools that we shape our own fate, love, work and life is based on what we make of it. Money is what makes the world goes round and we surely do our very best to ensure that we have it, but yet in this humble and chaotic times, it seems that most of the people are motivated purely by money. Gone are the days of chivalry and charm but replaced with a world that is dominated by money. A mother would rather go to work outstation and leave her 2 year old daughter to the grandmother on reasons of finding money for the future but rather forgets that a child needs its parents. A upcoming star would rather lean on people for bills and needs and wants but would not commit. What has this world come to? maybe at times, we need to clean ourslevels, take the blame ourselves, for the mistakes that we make, its easy to blame god but rather we never see that we could have done it better and behaved wiser. Truly, it is hard to see our own mistakes and as such, i write to remind myself most importantly as i embark on this journey of change. Within the journey, there are many of things that i have to do that will hurt others and many of things that i do will hurt myself but... no pain no gain and at times, we have to be cruel to be kind. That is the world, yeah crying helps but as my dad usually says, it is far easier to fall of the horse, the hard part is getting up and continue riding. When we fall, why do we blame god? we say that it is his fault..so we fault Him and find a new horse but how come we do not see that it is actually our fault that we do not hold it reins tight enough, hold it hard enough and most importantly accept the horse for what it is? we expect the horse to accept us for our faults and shortcomings but yet we do not do the same and when things go sour, the horse throws tantrum, we blame God? amazing is it not?

As the year sets to the end and a new year dawns ahead, we are on the verge of growing and as such, we will do our new resolutions which we will forget come June but to quieten the ego and make ourselves feel better. As part of change, whenever i do sit down and write, i am gonna do a short review of movies or books that i have read especially Malay movies as i would like it to grow, not that i am an experienced critic but heck, everyone has an opinion.

The two movies that i would want to comment would be:

Legenda Budak Setan 2

A sequel to the first movie, which is based on the book, to me the movie failed miserably. With such a strong line of actors and actress, the movie somehow failed to developed into any thing much. More like a normal movie clinche of which we can predict what comes way before it happens, unlike the first movie that had such strong plots and surpirses, the sequel failed to deliver anything new. All that happen has been done before and we can see it coming a mile away. FOr Maya Karin and Farid Kamil, as strong actors and actress, they managed to only look clumsy and fake at times, with Farid becoming so quiet that he is almost non-extant.







Pontianak Vs Orang Minyak

This was a truly stupid movie, if Afdlin has so much money, maybe he should just focus on some strong movie, it is times like this we miss the late Yasmin for her movies comes with strong messages. I cant bear to write as to me it is such a waste to do this movie, no plot, no message and times no direction. Even the sceanrio franchise had better plot.





The Hobbit

True to Tollken fans, the movie delivers and answers all the old questions. Bilbo is a truly an amazing character as the unsung and unwiling hero. A must see i would say.









Some of the movies that i would suggest in case you missed it are:

  • Chow Kit- A truly good movie of the real life in KL and address many unspoken issues
  • Hantu Gangster- Farid shined through this one, as the movie takes a swipe at all things "Malaysian"a must see for all. 
  • Pitch Perfect- A sleeper hit that is an inspiring movie. 

Lost Boyz finished 6th in WCA Division 1.
