My Dream

I have a dream. A simple one. As if I just reach out my hands I would be able to achieve it. However, no matter how hard I try extending both of my arms it just seems unreachable. And as time passes, the courage to extend those arms seems to have shrunk a little. Then without consciousness i started to retract those arms. With other responsibilities & burden, my courage continues to shrink until at some point i suddenly realise I'm just hugging myself retreated back into that little comfortable faraway corner of mine.
My dream........ can only be a dream.

Karma??

Japan has been hit by a massive scale earthquake followed by a tsunami that has destroyed most parts of the country and claimed many lives. It is sad to hear this news and i guess it is a common feeling for all when we relate to tragic incidents or natural disasters like this. However, what is more disheartening is some of the comments posted on facebook related to this incident.

Some people think that Japan deserves this tragic fate due to somethings that their ancestors did a very long time ago. I think 'karma' was the word that they used. Yes, for those who are bad and commit crimes we do hope that one day they will suffer the same pain that they have put others through but is it right for their descendants to suffer the crimes as well? The world is already chaotic as it is then why add drama to it?

I guess the question that we would want to ask ourselves is that do we want to fuel this bad karma or stop it and start creating some good karma. As the the saying goes 'one good deed deserves another' and let's start by having empathy and give a helping hand to the victims. There is no point in holding a grudge forever, who knows we might not even have a forever by looking at all the natural disasters that mother nature has bestowed upon us. i think it's time we pull our act together, don't you?

说心语 by 孙燕姿

每一天 镜子前 我看见 同一个脸

却听见 在耳边 呼吸声 好遥远

我想笑 我想爱 想奔跑 想拥抱

我是怎么了 像被困住了

时间满满的心却空空的

有那么一天 时间停止了

才发现原来心自由才能

真的快乐 单纯快乐

每一夜 月阴缺 我学会 不完美的美

心跳声 在周围 催促我 有梦去追

我又起飞了 我是自由的

随风旋转着开心唱着歌

有那么一天 时间停止了

才发现心自由才能快乐

这种感动我记得 像出发的那一刻

哪一段才是永久

太多美丽的语言 不比心语的纯洁

勇敢奔向新世界

我又起飞了 我是自由的

随风旋转着开心唱着歌

在那么一天 时间停住了

我会知道我心是自由的

You Havent Seen The Last Of Me - Cher

Feeling broken

Barely holding on

But there's just something so strong

Somewhere inside me

And I am down but I'll get up again

Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me (2x)

They can say that

I won't stay around

But I'm gonna stand my ground

You're not gonna stop me

You don't know me

You don't know who I am

Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out

This is not the end

I'm down now

But i'll be standing tall again

Times are hard but

I was built tough

I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

I am far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

No no

I'm not going nowhere

I'm staying right here

Oh no

You won't see me begging

I'm not taking my bow

Can't stop me

It's not the end

You haven't seen the last of me

Oh no

You haven't seen the last of me(2x)

Another superb musical!!!!

I really love musicals as I'm a fan of music and dancing, I've even fantasize to be in one up until now. Being in the limelight singing and dancing all the way through, it would really be the job of a lifetime. However due to certain not so perfect qualities of mine (such as height, voice, flexibility of the body), I ended up in another type of stage performance and limelight, educating. :)

Well, after Annie, Chicago, Dreamgirls, Les miserables, The King And I, Moulin Rouge, Hairspray, Sweeney Todd, My fair Lady, The Sound Of Music, West Side Story, Phantom Of The Opera, Evita, Greese, Marry Poppins, Mamma Mia, Glee, not to mention a whole bunch of cartoons such as Tangled, Enchanted, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and a whole long list, here's another addition to it: Burlesque!!!!


I absolutely love it with Cher and Christina as the lead singer and actress. It's a wonder to see Cher, now at the age of 64, still looking fabulous with her silhouette body figure and long slender legs. The only thing that gave her away that she is aging are a few of the very fine lines that appeared on her face. She can still sing in that husky low voice of hers.

Next in line of course would be the ever powerful vocals of Christina. I could hardly recognize her from the preview of the movie as she looks so different from when she made her debut single 'Genie in a bottle'. Guess must be chubbiness of her face that makes her look completely different but still as sexy as hell!!!

Burlesque has a very normal and predictable storyline. Girl meets boy. Girl in distress and boy helps out. Both fall in love with each other and of course one of them is already attached (but to the wrong one). They fight, she leaves, he apologizes and make things right, happy ending!!! Although the storyline is lame but it still captivates you and keep you entertained with the songs, dances and not forgetting the costumes too. It like in the circus where you get the whole full package of entertainment. There are also certain scenes in which the songs are so good that you really feel like standing up to dance and sing together with them and be part of burlesque.

All in all I give all thumbs to Burlesque!!!!!!!

A little wisdom to share

There's always a little truth behind every

'just kidding'

a little curiosity behind every

'just wondering'

a little emotion behind every

'i don't care'

a little knowledge behind every

'i don't know'

and a little pain behind every

'it's ok'

Have you 'Tangled' ?

After a long day at work yesterday, my colleague and I decided to head to the movies to relax. Besides it was a Wednesday so we'd get cheap tics. Unfortunately the cinema was packed, even on a week day, then it struck us that it was school hols.

After the long dreaded queue, we finally manage to approach the counter and another dismay as the 9.00pm show was already full. The only seats available was in the first row. The next available screening time would be 11.10pm and the price pops back up to RM 10. After a few moments of contemplation, both of us decided to dive in for the screening at 11.10pm.

After wandering the malls for about 1 1/2 hours. we had no choice but to sit at McD for another 1/2 hour cause all the shops were closed by then. Finally the awaited time has arrived. We then navigated the way to the cinema with our half closed eyelids and drag our tired bodies along. We both even vowed to burn down the cinema if the animated film was a flop after all those torture of waiting. But that didn't happen cause it's the best animated film ever for both of us.

We had never laughed so hard at an animated film before. The storyline was similar to the original Rapunzel with some adaptation made. What made the whole film much more captivating would be the songs and portrays of the unique characters of the animals in the movies. If there was an award for the best character in the movie that would definitely, undeniably, unanimously be MAXIMUS.

Maximus is the captain of the Royal Palace Guard's Horse. He takes his job of capturing and hunting down criminals seriously. The humour of his character was that he is a horse which acts more like a dog. Besides, the ongoing feud with the hero of the story (Fylnn Rider) was hilarious with both of them taking occasional jabs at one another without Rapunzel knowing it. The creator has cleverly personified Maximus which makes him more adorable to the audience. I personally wouldn't mind to have a pet like Maximus who expresses his likes and dislikes in a straightforward manner.


Of course there is also Pascal, the little green chameleon and also Rapunzel's only best friend while she was locked up the tower. Pascal is also personified to have his own antics which also makes him lovable but they are more subtle compared to Maximus more domineering ones. Pascal acts as Rapunzel's consultant and guardian in which they consult matters such as: her leaving the tower and deciding if Fylnn Rider, the intruder, was a good lad or like all the evils of the world that Rapunzel's fake mother (the villain) had warned them about. He also keeps Fylnn and Maximus in line of their childish assault towards one another.

Besides those 2 eccentric characters in the story, the songs are also a plus for the movies. I've always like the songs in animated films produced by Disney and i guess there's another few hits in Tangled as well. The first would be 'healing incantation'. This is actually not a song but a few lines of words that are sung repeatedly to a very calming melody for the magical powers of Rapunzel's hair to work. The next of course would be 'Mother knows best' that i guess would set deep into the hearts of all children and mothers.

Finally for those who have not watched this film I would give them 5 out of 5 thumbs. I really strongly recommend this film to all young and old as it rejuvenates the soul.

Hm... talking about that i hope no one noticed my zombie look at work for the day. ^-^
Below are more pictures from the movies, EnJoY!!!
