The Journey Through the Highways of Life

It ends here....

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:37:00 +0000

Dear readers and friends,

It has come to a point in life where another chapter of my life ends here. So much has happen within a short time. What I have been through within these few months no one really understands or knows about it, unless my closest friends.

I have given up and let go of my past and I am going to end this chapter of my life here and as on this date. These three months has been nothing but a disaster to my life and I do not know how to explain or tell the story about what has gone so wrong. Part of me still ask myself ... where have I gone wrong and what have I done wrong to deserve all the misunderstandings and selfishness that I have received from a few people. I have grew tired of trying to let them see a bigger picture in life. I tried my best....

So here I am, tired and beaten, I raise the white flag to show defeat and I surrender. I had enough of pain that has been inflicted onto my frail heart.

I had also learnt that I have to stand up alone and can't rely much on my friends. Some which I thought I can looked up too seemed to have forgotten about me and continued on with their lives and made me feel as if I never existed. Some which I seek answers, never could give me an answer instead ask me to leave it be.

"Its enough...enough is enough" my heart whispers to me...as it can't take in anymore sadness and disappointments in life.

My chapter of life ends here... and so does this blog.... it also ends here... Thank you and goodbye....

p/s: If only you all could have looked and see things from another perspective...life could be different . If only you gave it a chance, gave it a chance to explain, gave it a chance to see if it worked out or not. But...sadly... you all never wanted too.

The Revision Weeks, Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:02:00 +0000

The final examination has just passed and looking back at the weeks where I was doing my revision with my study mates was kinda fun. I guess all of us were pretty tired then. We barely had enough rest.

For me I was gulping down coffee like there was no tomorrow just to stay awake and keep me going on with my books. The whole week of revision was filled with seriousness and also... well a tad of silliness and also a lot of timeout. But of course most of the time was spend with the books.

Day time we will be at the State Library doing revision and when night falls we went back to the Uni to continue our revision until late mid-night. There are times when one will feel bored and start a little bit of camwhoring. LOLX

Usually the study group consist of six of us....small chick (Chee), Miss Polar bear (Vivi), Pig(David), Mouse (Ming), Caloon and I. We may be taking different subject but studying together is fun. If there are somethings that we do not understand we can solve it either together or someone will teach us.

The Accident

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:15:00 +0000

It was raining that day, the road was slippery. I was on my way to pick a friend up for lunch. I wanted that friend to help me out with some stuff which I don't know how to do. I wanted to bless a dear friend who meant a lot to me. Never had I thought before I can perform that task in the temple, I had my car crashed into another car's back. The accident was pretty serious in a way. The car in front of me rammed into another car in front of him first before I came in from the back.

the bonnet was bent car plate chipped off

headlamps broken

I really don't blame anyone for this now, its just fate. Even though at that time and a few days at that time I blame the guy one car in front of me who made an emergency brake for no reason and caused this accident. All that is in the past.

The front seat passenger side door could not be open.

After the accident, my relationship with my mother has gone sour, I got used to it. To her, I am just a bad son and a useless one. She says she has given up on me. Can't blame her much. No matter what I have done its never good enough for her. She likes to compare me with all the cousin's saying how I should be like them.... but that is another story.

Because of the accident I also had a traffic police fine of RM300 for no reason at all. Stated that I drove recklessly on the road. The police was just a piece of useless crap who talks crap all the tome when I was writing my report. The police could not even type or use the computer properly. How sad can Malaysian police be?

With the fine and repair works I had to pay RM875 in total....

The old scare...from last year

After the accident, it has open my eyes to a lot of things. I realized how one's life could be very fragile and you will never know what will happen next in a split of a second. I could have died in that accident... or I could have killed someone in that accident.

How I wish... I died in that accident... how I wish earlier on this year while I was crossing the road, the truck that nearly hit me...would just actually hit me and let me leave this world......

Everything is going up....

As we read the news today, crude oil prices are rising. This has cause some chaos throughout the world.

Malaysia is no different. Recently, our beloved prime minister Datuk Abdullah Badawi has announce in a 0.78 hike in petrol prices bringing the price from RM1.92 to RM2.78 per liter. Diesel prices rised frin RM1.58 to RM 2.58 per liter (RM1.00 rise). This petrol price hike will definitely have severe impact on the people. Especially the one down here in East Malaysia and also parts of West Malaysia where there are a lot of low income earners and middle income earners. It makes me wonder how are they going to survive?

Everything is on the rise. Even prices of raw rice has gone up. Prices of rice now range from RM30 ++ to RM60++ for those which are good in quality. Electricity tariff will rise next month, how much is yet to be known.

I seriously wonder, how are we going to survive? Expenses are on the rise but not our income. It seems that life ahead is going to be tougher.

Bizarre Pets

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:28:00 +0000

this is how tao tao looks before his "make-over"

VOILA! after his 'make-over"...lolx!!

Recently, the hot season has arrived again. So it is this time of the year tao tao gets his yearly fur cut at the pet shop. Boy...does he hate it! We would ask the pet shop assistant to cut his fur really really short and that is what he hates the most. So, every time after the fur cut he will come home and sulk and ignore us... sighs... this dog has got some issue.

Not to worry, after a few days its back to his old naughty self again!

The other weird pet I own is this hamster named bit bit. Bit bit has grown into a ferocious, finger biting monster! I am serious, when I just got him he was ok... but soon after that he changed into this hungry finger biting hamster.

When bit bit was not in a biting mood....

When bit bit becomes a ferocious, finger biting hamster... lolx!

Everytime if I put my finger in his cage he will bite it! I really don't know what has gotten into that hamster's head. Sheesh! It could be that he is one hungry hamster and my finger became his humongous delicious nut! At the end of the day... I still love him... sighs... the things I do for my pets... haha..

I was browsing through youtube for some music videos, as I was watching Britney Spears's Piece of Me video. Something caught my attention... something unusual. So I clicked on the link and it directed to this .... well should I say "unique" guy, who changed and sang the song Piece of me in a very... weird but funny way. Part of the video made me wanna puke but at the end I can't stop laughing. I seriously like the original piece of me song.... but this guy kinda butchered it but made it funny.

So here goes the video plus the lyrics by yours truly Patrickblog...

Lyrics:
Im the boy with a dream before i was a teen
dont matter if i try or believe
they get jealous too see me succeed
they take one look and think that they can read me like a magazine
you think you know me, you want a piece of me

im the boy with no father
you think my life would be harder
but its a life i love living thats why
i keep getting stronger
and when im on youtube
i be myself i got nothing to prove.
you wanna see the real me

Im the boy who dances like a fool (you want a piece of me)
im the boy who thinks britney is cool (you want a piece of me)
im the boy gets called fag everyday (you want a piece of me)
im the boy my life live it my way (you want a piece of me)

im the boy with the haters who are tryin and fuckn me off
need to look in the mirror and see the real jerk off
thinkin that they all know the real me
but they dont know my story
now are you sure you wanna hate on me?

im the boy who acts and talks a different way but see thats not ok
haters pick on the different, yeah for real
take a look and see?
no wonder theres so many teen suicides
i mean please do you wanna feel guilty?

Im the boy who dances like a fool (you want a piece of me)
im the boy who thinks britney is cool (you want a piece of me)
im the boy gets called fag everyday (you want a piece of me)
im the boy my life live it my way (you want a piece of me)

Pressured+Stress = Smoking to distress?

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Sat, 24 May 2008 10:50:00 +0000

..............................................................................................................................................................................
Short Talk:
The never ending battle with assignments...and tests and now the war is nearing...sighs final exams...
Hates current situation.....
..............................................................................................................................................................................

I have always admired those friends of mine who does not need to work part-time while they are studying. All they need to worry is about their studies. As for me the story is different, after going through some financial difficulties in the family, I started to work as a part-time English tutor to earn my own allowances.

Soon after that, I had to pay for my own phone bill and also the internet bill and other minor expenses. I have been a part-time worker for 3 years or more now. Initially I did not feel the stress or pressure for the Uni workload was still manageable and students back then are not as hard to teach as compared to now.

This year I felt pressured and stressed the most not only because of my work and my studies but also some other things. The increasing expenses and the inconsistent income that I received. No one in my shoes would actually feel what I feel now. Some say, I can survive well with the income I received. But do they know how much are my fixed expenses? Well... I bet they do not know. For this coming month my pay will be roughly RM368 (USD 114.34). RM200.00 will go to the bills that I have to pay and I will be left with RM 168.00 (no inclusive of other expenses) to spend on food alone. Sometimes I don't know how the hell I pull through.

ciggies~~

Studies are not helping me much either, the constant tests and assignments are driving me up the wall. Since I am already in my second year and second semester, the subjects that I have enrolled in are very heavy on me. I do not know how to pull through.

supplies....

My work is not making my life easier either. My students seemed to have little improvements. Some who doesn't even know how to speak basic English seems hopeless to me but as a tutor I have to try my best to help them. The thing is, these students does not have the initiative to learn. When they go home all they do is play computer games or watch TV or sleep. I suggested that when they are home they should at least read some English storybooks, easy ones that is and if they have a hard time understanding they can come and ask me and I will be glad to help them. For the past few weeks, I was preparing them for their mid-term exams, I gave them extra classes and on top of that I myself was having my exams and assignments due, it was one crazy week, whereby I felt like I was going for a breakdown.

so many brands!! WOW!!

I have been so stressed that I actually considered smoking. Since I hear a lot of people say smoking helps to distress one, I was willing to give it a go.

To smoke or not to smoke.... decisions....

a puff won't kill now ...

Feels damn good~!

Some of my friends said I was nuts, some forbid me to do it. In the end...I didn't do it.

Flu tablets ... sighs....

For now, I still have heaps to do and hopefully I will still be standing at the end. I have fallen sick again due to the stress and also the unforgiving humid weather we are experiencing down here.

Note:Those photos of me puffing the ciggies are just an imitation... I suck being a smoker.... but am good at imitating it! SO I DIDN'T SMOKE IT !!

Movie Marathon

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:03:00 +0000

A lot of new nice movies are coming for this summer. So I can't wait for them to be aired. Anyway on Sunday I was having this ... well... kinda like a movie marathon. Since my friend and I already made a deal to watch Iron man weeks ago, I decided to go watch it on Sunday. Little did I know another group of friends was planning for a movie outing, they wanted to watch Narnia, Prince Caspian. So I ended up watching movies the entire day, totaling up 5 hours of movie run time.

Here is my review for the movies I had watched. First and foremost in the list is Iron Man. I watched this movie with Sung and his friend. I felt that this is a really good movie, I laughed a lot in this movie. Storyline was quite good as it was taken from the comic Iron Man. So it is something like Batman and Superman. The role Tony Sparks was played by Robert Downey Jr. I thought that he played the role really well and in this movie he was hilarious or so the character he played.

Synopsis for Iron Man( WARNING: May contain spoilers!)

The movie begins with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) visiting soldiers on duty in the Middle East. He is joking with some members of a convoy who seem to be genuinely amused by his persona. Suddenly, the convoy is attacked. The soldiers fight to defend themselves but are quickly killed. Stark flees when a bomb (bearing the logo of his company, "Stark Industries") explodes, severely wounding Tony's chest. Tony is captured and recorded by a group of terrorists.

A flashback sequence reveals Tony's history as a child prodigy before taking over his father's technology company at age 21. Colonel James Rhodes (Terrence Howard) attends a ceremony to present Tony Stark with an award for his work, but Stark is not in attendance. Tony's right-hand man (and his father's former partner) Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) accepts the award in Tony's honor. Rhody later finds Tony partying in a casino. On his way out, a reporter named Christine (Leslie Bibb) approaches Stark with some questions regarding the ethics of his weapons business. Stark deflects her questions with some swift quips and the two end up spending the night together.

Next morning, Christine is awakened by a voice on a computer monitor. It's JARVIS, the artificial intelligence program responsible for running Tony's house. Christine is greeted by Tony's assistant, "Pepper" Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she leaves the house. Pepper helps Tony catch up on some business before Tony heads out to the airport where his plane is kept.

In flight, Tony talks with Rhody. Rhody is unhappy about Tony's lax attitude, and Tony tries to get his old friend to relax. Before long they are drunk and leering at the stewardesses.

Tony arrives at a military outpost in the Middle East to demonstrate his company's latest project - the Jericho, a super-missile system. After the demonstration, Tony gets a phone call from Obadiah and they are both pleased that the demonstration went well. Tony goes off with the convoy that is soon attacked by terrorists.

Much later, Tony regains consciousness in a cave. His chest is hooked up to a strange device. Another captive, named Yinsen (Shaun Tomb), explains that he operated on Stark but was unable to remove all the shrapnel fragments from the bomb blast. Yinsen created a device - essentially a battery-powered magnet - that will keep the remaining fragments out of Tony's heart.

The terrorists who captured Tony & Yinsen enter the room. Yinsen translates; they want Tony to build them a Jericho missile. Tony refuses, so they begin to torture Stark.

Hours later, the terrorists show off a huge stockpile of weapons-all made by Stark Industries. Tony appears to relent and start building the missile, but has other plans. With Yinsen's help, Tony constructs a tiny device called an Ark Reactor - a new type of power generator - streamlined from a much bigger design used in one of his companies factory. The power output is enough to run Stark's heart for fifty lifetimes... or something much bigger for about 15 minutes.

Tony designs a way out for them - a powered weapon suit that he will wear and use to defeat the terrorists. Midway through construction, the head of the terrorist group (The Ten Rings), a man named Raza (Faran Tahir) arrives and attempts to torture Yinsen, angry because he thinks Stark is not working on the Jericho as they wanted. Raza gives them one more day to finish.

Working overnight, Yinsen straps Tony into the completed armored suit, telling him the way out of the cave. They set off a bomb inside the cell as a distraction for the guards as Tony powers up his suit. Yinsen realizes that they will not have enough time. He grabs a gun and runs off to distract the surviving guards.

Tony, fully powered, muscles his way through the cave. The guards try to stop but his suit easily deflects their weapon fire. Halfway out, Stark finds Yinsen, mortally wounded. Tony tearfully thanks Yinsen for saving him, and Yinsen encourages Tony to not waste his life as he dies.

Tony turns his suit on the terrorists, igniting flame-throwers. He destroys their stockpile of weapons and uses a rudimentary jet-pack to blast away from the captive zone. The armor is ruined as he crash-lands into a sand dune, but he escapes alive.

Stark walks over more sand dunes when a couple of US helicopters fly overhead. A group of soldiers, led by Rhody, come across Tony. Rhody is overjoyed to find that his friend is alive.

Tony returns to the United States after three months in captivity. Pepper wants Tony to receive medical treatment, but Tony states that there are only two things he wants: an American cheeseburger and a company press conference. Shortly after, Tony appears before a group of reporters and announces that he intends to shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division immediately. At the same time, Pepper is approached by Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) of the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement & Logistic Division agency. They want to talk to Tony Stark about his capture. Pepper schedules an appointment for them.

That evening, Obadiah confronts Tony about his actions, furious. Obadiah knows that the stock value for their company (and, by extension, their financial status) is going to take a serious drop because of this announcement. Tony wants Stark Industries to move forward with Ark Reactor technology, but Obadiah thinks that the Ark Reactor is nothing but a publicity stunt. Through the conversation, Tony ends up revealing his prosthetic power-heart to Obadiah. Stane convinces Tony to lay low for a while so the company can sort things out.

Pepper watches a news report on the declining value of Stark Industries when Tony asks for her help. He's created an upgraded Ark Reactor but can't install it into his chest without someone to help. Pepper accidentally yanks out the cords for the old reactor too soon, putting Tony on the verge of cardiac arrest. They manage to complete the process in time. Tony tells Pepper to get rid of the old model since he's not a sentimental person.

Tony comes to visit Rhodes and asks for help with a new private project. Rhody does not agree with Tony's approach; he thinks Stark is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of his capture and needs time to recover.

Tony turns to his other best friend - JARVIS, the A.I. program - for help. Tony's plan is revealed to be an upgrade to his armored suit (referred to as "Mark 2," with the suit from the terrorist cave being Mark 1).

Meanwhile, the terrorists who held Tony captive are searching the desert, gathering all fragments of the original armored suit.

Tony decides that the first thing he has to do is to perfect the armor's flight system. Since the leg-mounted jets prove too unstable, he creates arm-mounted stabilizers to balance out the system. Pepper comes in when he is testing the stabilizers and they find that it also creates a powerful repulsion beam that could also be used as a weapon. Pepper leaves a box on Tony's desk.

Obadiah visits Tony and reveals that the board of directors have filed an injunction to gain control of Stark Industries. Tony isn't worried; he still maintains controlling interest in Stark Industries.

Tony finally manages to perfect his flight system, and is delighted at the prospect of flying.

A new armored suit is soon finished, looking like a heavily-streamlined version of Tony's Mark 1 armor. Tony connects with Jarvis to monitor the progress in the suit. Tony decides to take it out for a test flight, and he is thrilled by everything the suit can do. Tony decides to push the limit for higher-atmosphere flying, but at such great heights the suit becomes coated with ice and his power supply shuts down. Tony is barely able to reactivate his thrusters in time to avoid crashing into the ground. Stark returns home, but the armor is so heavy that it crashes through three floors of the house.

As Tony recovers from his crash landing, he opens the box that Pepper left behind earlier. It's his original Ark-Reactor heart, with a special border around it reading, "Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart."

Tony analyzes more data and decides to rebuild the suit using gold titanium from an old project to solve the icing problem. Tony also instructs Jarvis to add some "hot-rod red" paint to the next suit, codenamed Mark 3. Tony then leaves to attend his annual benefit dinner while the new suit is being assembled and painted.

At the charity event, Tony meets with Agent Coulson, who still wants to learn about Tony's incident. Tony then leaves to dance with Pepper and they share a moment together in the moonlight.

Tony is then confronted by Christine, the reporter from an earlier scene. She shows him photographs of his weapons being used by a terrorist group the previous day in the Middle East. Tony confronts Obadiah on the matter, and Obadiah reveals that he is the one who filed the injunction against Tony. Obadiah calls himself an "Iron Monger," and has no qualms about selling Stark Industries weapons to both sides of the conflict. Tony returns home, furious. When the new suit is completed, Stark steps in and essentially transforms into Iron Man for the first time.

In a Middle East village, terrorists are rounding up civilians for capture & execution when they are confronted by a mysterious figure in red and gold. Iron Man has arrived. Within seconds, he defeats the terrorists and destroys the weapons they had obtained.

As Iron Man leaves the area, two F-22 jets spot him. Col. Rhodes is asked about the status of any new developments. He contacts Tony, who claims that he knows nothing about what is happening. Iron Man tries to outrun the jets but they are too much for him. Tony calls Rhodes and reveals that he is responsible for the "unidentified craft." Rhody is furious about Tony sending in unauthorized equipment, and horrified when Tony explains that the "equipment" is actually himself! Iron Man is hit by one fighter jet, sending him flying into the wing of the second jet. The pilot is forced to eject, but the parachute fails to open. Iron Man, still under fire, manages to fly in and successfully deploy the parachute in time to save the pilot's life. Tony convinces Rhody to pass off what happened with the jets as a "training exercise."

As Tony arrives back at home, Pepper catches him removing the battle-damaged Iron Man armor.

Meanwhile, the Ten Rings terrorist group is visited by none other than Obadiah. It is revealed that Stane paid the Ten Rings members to kill Stark, but they realized who Stark was and demanded a much higher price. Obadiah takes the remnants of the Mark 1 armor they have gathered.

Tony tries to talk Pepper into helping him, believing that nothing else matters but stopping the people who he put in harm's way. Pepper is moved by Tony's dedication, and agrees. She goes into Obadiah's office with a tiny piece of equipment designed to copy files from the computer. As Pepper sifts through stored files, she finds a video from the terrorists proving that Obadiah was responsible for Tony's capture.

Obadiah comes into the office just as she is leaving, but Pepper manages to get away. However, as soon as he powers up the computer, Obadiah realizes what she was up to. On the way out, Pepper is joined by Agent Coulson and he agrees to help stop Obadiah with his fellow agents.

Obadiah meets with his team of developers working on his own armored suit. They cannot figure out how to create a power source for the suit. Stane is furious; then realizes that he has one other option.

Stane arrives at Tony's house and paralyzes him with a sonic weapon. Obadiah yanks out the power source from Tony's heart, taunting him all the while. After he leaves, Tony realizes that he has only one hope for survival - the preserved Ark Reactor that Pepper gave him in a display case. He gets the power source installed just as Rhody arrives.

Pepper, Coulson and several other agents arrive at Obadiah's research facility. They spot the Mark 1 Armor and a storage location where something else was kept. Just then, a gigantic robotic suit comes to life and attacks them - it's Obadiah's counterpart suit, code-named the Iron Monger.

Rhody watches Tony suit up, awestruck at the Iron Man costume. As Tony flies away, Rhody looks at the prototype silver suit Tony built earlier... then shakes his head and mumbles "Next time."

Iron Man arrives and begins to fight Iron Monger. Jarvis warns Tony that he has only about half power in the suit; the older power source wasn't designed to work alongside the newer suit. The two ironclad warriors have a huge battle. Tony grabs the Iron Monger and climbs higher. Iron Monger struggles but before long begins to freeze up - his suit still has the same icing problem that Tony's other suit had. Iron Monger manages to escape from this, and Iron Man is now almost completely powerless.

Tony instructs Pepper to overload the building's Ark Reactor, which will generate a shockwave strong enough to knock out the Iron Monger's suit. Pepper is hesitant, believing that Tony could also be killed. Tony manages to keep fighting while she builds up power to the Reactor. The Ark explodes, taking out Obadiah and injuring Tony. But the energy wave from the Reactor also manages to re-charge Tony's heart battery, saving him from death.

Days later, Rhody holds a press conference about the incident with the two robots. Tony is impressed with the newspaper's coming up with the name "Iron Man," and plans to adopt it. Agent Coulson has released cover stories about Obadiah and the "truth" about Iron Man (who will be referred to as Stark's bodyguard). Pepper thanks Coulson but cannot remember the full name of the group he belongs to. Coulson just tells them to call it S.H.I.E.L.D. and states that they will be in touch again.

Tony goes before the reporters once more, and prepares to comply with the cover story. But, before he can even start, Tony Stark throws away his notes and declares "I am Iron Man."

Much later (after the credits), Tony returns home to find a mysterious man in black telling him that as Iron Man, Tony has become part of a larger universe. Tony asks who the man is. He turns around and introduces himself- Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Samuel L. Jackson). He's come to talk with Tony Stark about an upcoming project- known only as "The Avenger Initiative."

I would recommend all to watch this movie
Ratings: 7.5/10

Next off would me The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I watched this movie with David, Vivien, Ing Ming and Caloon.

For this movie... I can't say much about it because I did not watch the first part of the movie, so I was kinda lost in this one but lucky I have David and Ing Ming explaining a bit to me. So I was not entirely lost. This another great movie. It continues on from the first part Susan, Lucy, Peter and Edmund was being called back to Narnia with Susan's magical horn, Once back the realize everything in Narnia is different and that in the Narnian time it is already 1300 years (equivalent to 1 year in the real world) from when they first set foot in Narnia and from then on the adventure begins.

Synopsis for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian ( WARNING: May contain spoilers!)

"The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian" was the second book published of the seven books in the series. It is numbered Book 4 in recent editions because it is the fourth chronologically. It takes place about 1,300 years after the events of "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe," which was the first published book (second in order chronologically--only "The Magician's Nephew" takes place earlier.) In London, only one year passes between the events of "The Lion" and "Prince Caspian," so the timing of the film had to be brought forward so the actors were not too old. Here is a summary of the story by C.S. Lewis. Following that is a description of the differences in the 2008 motion picture, based on available information.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are transposed from a country railway station to an island in Narnia when young Prince Caspian X - who is heir to the throne at Cair Paravel, and is in danger in a battle against the Telmarine seige of Narnia - has blown Queen Susan's magic horn. King Miraz (Caspian's Uncle), a tyrant who murdered Caspian's father (Caspian IX), has claimed the throne. After Miraz's wife Queen Prunaprismia gave birth to a son, Miraz planned to kill off Caspian X. However, young Prince Caspian managed to escape into Old Narnia and unite with "the creatures that lived in hiding." With the help of Glenstorm the Centaur, Trufflehunter (a loyal badger), Trumpkin (a skeptical but dedicated dwarf), Reepicheep (a valiant mouse) and scores of other species of friendly Narnian animals, Caspian forms an army to meet Miraz's countless, mighty human warriors.

In an early battle, the Narnians make strategic mistakes, many animals die, and they are forced to retreat. Trumpkin intercepts the Pevensies shortly after their arrival at the ruins of Cair Paravel (once a peninsula - now the island they were summoned to when Caspian sounded Queen Susan's horn). As they travel toward Aslan's How (the location of the destroyed Stone Table - now an underground fortress, and the loyal Narnians' defense), the war between good and evil escalates. A rebel Narnian dwarf harbors enemies, Aslan appears to Lucy, and the Pevensies finally unite with Caspian.

High King Peter drafts a challenge, which King Edmund presents to the Lords Glozelle and Sopespian. Angered by his counsel's subtle (but intentional) doubt of his bravery, King Miraz insists on accepting the challenge. With both armies surrounding them on the Beruna landscape, Miraz and Peter draw swords and duel fiercely.

In a moment of the fight, Miraz is knocked to the ground. Astoundingly, his own lords stab him in the back and then shout out that Peter has killed him egregiously. All at once an immense battle amasses - the Second Battle of Beruna - as the Telmarines and the Narnians fight for autonomy of the land...

In the culmination of the battle, Aslan renews the land. He calls forth the dryads (tree spirits) to dance again; he awakens the river god, who then destroys a massive man-made wooden bridge over the Fjords of Beruna; and he beckons Bacchus and Silenus, and their merry maidens, who run throughout the landscape as far as the town of Beaversdam celebrating.

In Prince Caspian, humans had come to constitute a large portion of the population in Narnia. But in the Golden Age of Narnia, when the Pevensies fulfilled a prophecy by taking throne, they were the only humans in Narnia. Aslan tells Caspian how his ancestors came into Narnia. He reveals that they actually originated from the same Earth as the Pevensies. Years ago, pirates in the "South Sea" (of our world) came upon an island, and, after entering a cave, fell (through a chasm) into Telmar. Telmar is the country to the West of Narnia. After many years in Narnian time, the Telmarines, who suffered famine and internal conflict, invaded and seiged Narnia. During this time, the animals of Narnia fled into hiding, as the human Telmarines came to dominate the land. Prince Caspian was the tenth in a line of kings by that name.

There appear to be some considerable differences in the motion picture in order to complement the story on-screen. The opening scenes portray the birth of Prince Caspian's cousin followed by a narrow escape in a spectacular chase scene. It is while running away, as opposed to within Aslan's How, that Caspian sounds Queen Susan's horn. The Pevensies are summoned not from a country station, but an underground London railway station. Lewis placed Caspian's character as an adolescent, whereas the actor portraying him, Ben Barnes, is in his mid-twenties. There is a scene in the book in which a hag suggests calling upon the spirit of the White Witch to assist Prince Caspian in a time of desperation. Although this "ritual" is never performed in the book, it is begun in the movie and visually manifested until interrupted by one of Caspian's allies. A night raid on Miraz's castle has been added to the plot as a surprise attack. There are a few additional characters such as Lord Scythley and Lord Donnovan, who, while not a part of the original story, will probably have roles similar to those of the Lords Glozelle and Sopespian.

"Prince Caspian" is a story of deliverance and restoration with some intriguing aspects of Narnian history, culture, and mythology.

This is not a bad movie. For those who have watched the first episode, I recommend that you watched this one too. For those who have not watched the first episode be sure you have a friend who watched it before and ask them to briefly described what has happened in the first episode or watch the first episode before watching this one.

Ratings: 6/10

What would I be watching next? Well... most probably this.....

The guy who fell....

The poor chair...

RIP dear chair....

Everyone was so stunt... and was like ... how the heck did he break the chair... the girls in front kept giggling and looking at him... as for me... my first impression was ... OMG... did he hurt his poor head... but seeing that he was ok... I wanted to laugh out loud! But I controlled myself... do not want to embarrass him any further....

And in case if you guys are wondering if they guy who broke the chair is the same person as the guy who was annoying me... Well... I will leave that part for you to ponder about.... *winks*

Mama - (Mothers Day Dedication)

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Sun, 11 May 2008 04:04:00 +0000

It is this time of the year again. The day that we all remember how much our dear mother has sacrificed for us. Their undying love for their child, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and child.

To All the mothers out there:-
Happy Mothers day! Sometimes your child may hurt you a lot but I am sure deep down in their heart they love you a lot. We are all not perfect but we love you because you have done so much for us. Your undying love and tender care all these years has certainly touched our hearts and is not forgotten.

To my Mother:-
Mum, know I may not be your perfect son, I know I go against you a lot. I am rebellious and inconsiderate and selfish at times and I know all these have hurt you. You said I have changed a lot these years, I can feel it too, I guess I am growing up and I am starting to have my own thoughts that you do not agree with. I am sorry if I have said and done things that I have hurt you, all these are unintentional.

No matter what happens in the future Mum, be it something bad or something good. Mum, I just want you to know and I want to say.... "MUM I LOVE YOU!"

A dedication to all mothers, Mama by Spice Girls.

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day, I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had

Back then, I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care,
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
My friend

I didn't want to hear it then, but I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then, I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care,
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
My friend, you're my friend

But now, I'm sure I know why, why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes, all I can give you is love
Mama, I love you, Mama, I care,
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend

Mama, I love you, Mama, I care
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
You're my friend, you're my friend

(Whoa whoa whoa whoa, Mama whoa whoa)

Mama, I love you, Mama, I care,
Mama, I love you, Mama, my friend
(repeat and fade out)

One Life- Do Something

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Sun, 04 May 2008 03:35:00 +0000

Recently there was an exhibition at our brand new Mall, The Spring. It is called the One Life exhibit, organized by world vision Malaysia. This is new experience and I have learned a lot from this exhibition.

I went through the life of Jothi a young girl residing in India and came from a poor family. Who both parents are HIV positive and so is her younger sister and brother. Her mother, the supporter of the family died first and because they were poor the landlord chased them out of the house. Soon. the father passed away and the younger sister was diagnosed as HIV + and her youngest brother was also diagnosed with HIV+. Fortunately, Jothi is HIV - and now she is working closely with world vision to help the family.

About One Life
The One Life Revolution (OLR) is an interactive experimental exhibit. It allows visitors to walk in the shoes of children who endure extraordinary hardships because of HIV/AIDS and trafficking.

Visitors take a journey and experience the lives of persons affected by AIDS.

See life affected children's eyes. You will be amazed by their resilience.

This powerful exhibit has impacted lives in Canada United States, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and Singapore.It's phenomenal.

World Vision, is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender.

After visiting the exhibition, I have learned so much about life and how fragile it is. I have seen the life of the unfortunate which made me thankful for what I have now and to treasure my love ones more. It has touched me and I really want to help out these people.

One of my main plan is to sponsor or adopt a child and help them in their lives, I would like them to have proper education and eat proper food, wear nice clothings. Enjoy their childhood like the way it should be. Receive the best they can get because they deserve it.

I plan to do more in helping the lives of the unfortunate. To help them with all that I can... because they deserve a better life... all of us do.

So... dear readers... is it time for us to do something? Stretch out our hands and help them. We have ONE LIFE so DO SOMETHING.

Day Trip-Sri Aman

noreply@blogger.com (Dwinz) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:40:00 +0000

Well.... I have spend my holidays doing a few things. Basically I went to Unimas with David to see their student's artwork, coffee and Donut session with my bro Sam and a day trip to Sri Aman with again, bro Sam. Ha ha.

Well, due to the fact that my part-time job only earn me peanuts and I am still studying I can't afford any overseas holiday trip. I can't go to the US, come to think of it, I can't afford to go to KL for now. I don't have people sponsoring me to go to Bangkok, Thailand. Sighs.... how sad can I get... LOL... but a person like me... doesn't really care, so Sri Aman is as anything.

We started our journey around 10.30am and we went for breakfast first. After, breakfast we started our journey to Sri Aman. Sri Aman is in a division on its own and it is around 188km away for the city of Kuching. It takes roughly 3 hours to reach Sri Aman and another 3 hours back to Kuching.

Sri Aman is a small cowboy town, nothing much to do there but if you do go there it is the tidal bore that you should not miss! Sri Aman is famous for its tidal bore. Every now and then, there is this huge tidal bore and sweeps through the Batang Lupar River which passes through this town.

Basically, its a laid back town, relaxing. So... I will let the photos to do some talking...

On the way up

passed by durian town - Serian

on the way up to serian you will see this chapel called the Hossana chapel

Bro sam and I

Our very first! self-made glazed donuts with fruits! haha

New Bedsheets!

Short Talk:
Having Holidays now... one week... ah...relaxation... WAIT! I have not touched my Taxation yet! arrggh! Back to books again... bleh!
..............................................................................................................................................................................

Ha....Ha.... He ...He... Ho... Ho.... I got new bed sheet and new pillowcase~ I am so happy! Well to be more precise, this is the first time ever I shopped for my own bedsheets. I don't know why I had the sudden urge to buy new bed sheets.

So the urge brought me into Aussino. Initially I was aiming at buying standard bed sheets which cost around RM69.90 but the thing is that I am using a single bed and for single bed package it comes with only one pillow case and the dang thing is that if I get the RM 69.90 bedsheets with patterns on it, it will be very hard to for me to find an extra pillow case to go with it! Yes! I am greedy I sleep with TWO pillows... I need one for hugging you know.

So, when I visited Aussino the second time. The store manager or assistant told me they are having offers now and its 50% of for one section of the bedsheets. As I browse through the choices I decided to settle down for the 100% pure cotton bedsheets with 260 thread counts. The original price of the bed sheet is RM 115.00 so after discount it is only RM 52.50!! Yahoo!!! I was overjoyed so I stared choosing the colour that I wanted which is Khaki. But dang! the Aussino branch in Spring did not have singles for the 100% cotton... sad... sad.... but fear not because they have another branch in Tun Jugah so the kind manager/ assistant called up the other branch and asked if they have it and lady luck seems to be with me that day because they still have a few left in the Tun Jugah branch.

Aussino @ Spring

So, after class I send my car for servicing and ask David to save me from boredom and we went down town to Tun Jugah. Alas, when we arrive in Aussino I straight away asked the sales assistant and she brought me to the shelf where they keep the 100% cotton single bed sheets. I also found out that they have more choices for pillow case in this branch so I took extra pillow cases with the same material as the bed sheet that I am getting and guess what! There is a 50% discount for the pillow case too!

My new bed sheet and pillow case... *loves*

Just in case, you guys are wondering why am I so picky with the colours is because I like my stuff to match and to look nice and also comfy! ha... ha!

Oh I was overjoyed so I took the items and paid it at the cashier and the total cost was RM85.00. So it wasn't that bad at all.

Now, I can't wait to use the new bed sheet! ha! ha!

So there goes, dwinz first time buying bed sheets for himself ... ha ha

P/s: Angel the bed sheet is for me NOT you la! Lol...you got the wrong idea about your birthday present! Lolx!

As all of you know... I dwinz is a donut freak.... yesh.... I luuuuuvvvvvv donuts... I am 'do'-'nuts'! get it? do-nuts? Lolx.... ok... fine I am really crazy.

Well, Since the opening of a few decent shopping malls in Kuching we have been seeing and influx of new retailers coming into Kuching. One of the most recent and upscale mall, named The Spring, which spelled heaven to me. Why? Well Spring is the premier lifestyle shopping mall in Kuching. It houses most of the international brands such as Esprit, Padini, Guess, G2000, Samsonite and many more.

Part of Spring Shopping Mall

To add in my love for this mall was the recently open donut shop called Big Apple donuts and Coffee. Yes! Yes! I am elated, finally a decent donut shop in Kuching... its like I am in a dream. So first was to taste the donuts!

Big Apple's outlet in the Spring Kuching

Big Apple Donuts! Yums!

(L-R) Pink Panter, Mango Tango, Chococino

(Clockwise L-R from top) Ice Berg, Mango Tango, Chocoholic, Green Teaser, Strawberry and Chococino.

Big A's donuts range

Earlier on in the morning, I heard that there was a long queue of people buying the donuts or more like trying out their luck for 1/2 dz of free donuts. So I went around 4 in the afternoon and to my surprise the queue was still quite long! I had to be in queue for 45 minutes just to get the donuts... yeah everyone in Kuching is in a donut craze now... I wonder how long would it last though. Believe it or not I went back again today! bought another 1/2 dz half of it given to cuzzie Sylvia (p/s: enjoy them cuzzie!) ha ha.

My favourite logo =P

Everyone is on donut frenzy!

The open / see through concept whereby one can see how the donuts are made

Anyway Big A is not bad at all, actually their donuts are quite good and the price is reasonable too! Their outlet design looks more or less like J.Co donuts and coffee in Pavillion KL and their donuts are comparable to J.Co too!

J.Co @ Pavillion KL

J. Co's logo

Hmmm... J.Co's donuts seem to be bigger.

Bananarama.... I miss it!

Cheesy donut

The only sad thing is... they don't offer Banana rama down here in Kuching...sad.... but they have the mango tango though! he he.

So far I tried a few of the flavours and I thought chococino was good. Green teaser (Green tea) was not that bad either. The weirdest flavour I have seen is the Duren Duren... or Durian flavour donuts! LOL... YES! Durian flavoured!

Overall, I like Big A's donuts and of course I will be going back for more.... Cheers to Big A for opening in Kuching!

Hmm.... I wonder is J.Co thinking of coming into Kuching or not? Lolz

One week of holiday for me next week.... hmmm... what should I do? Study tax? go Damai? Decisions....decisions....
..............................................................................................................................................................................

As mentioned in the topic.... SARCASM! yeah.... I just realized sometimes I am such a sarcastic asshole, I am soooo sarcastic at times that I myself could believe it!

Why suddenly this topic? Well it happened today... I was having Management Decision Making (MDM) test. I happened to be a wee bit late, so by the time I was in class the lecturer was distributing the test paper. A few other dudes came in later than me.

So while waiting for the lecturer to distribute the question paper... I realized that the dudes later than me got their question paper. In my head " Where the F**k is my question paper?!" Oh well.... as they say... patience is a virtue... so I waited.... and waited...

Suddenly, my wonderful lecturer announces. " OK, Students...please write down your name and ID number on the question paper!".

*Looks at my table....hmm.... looks up again.... feeling pissed.....*....

Suddenly, without knowing I called out really loud and this is what I said....

Me: SIR! I don't have my question paper... where should I write my name and ID number?

* My Lec.... face looking pissed came to me pass my question paper to me and walk off silently*

The consequences.... all the other students were bewildered with my action. All of them must be thinking... that kid got some guts man... or.... that is one crazy dude who does not know the word "DIE"... LOL...

this kid is nuts!

Sir... Don't fail meeeee....!! Soweee!! Please don't fail meeee... LOL.

I was quite surprise with what I said too....

yeah.... that is all...

Spiced up the day!

The shop... called fat cats... I didn't see any fat cats inside...

Laksa is a local delicacy in Sarawak, can be found particularly in the city of Kuching. It is a spicy dish which consist of gravy made from coconut milk and spices, the vermicelli is blanch and it is served with chicken strips , egg and prawns. A lime is provided to add in sourish taste, 'belacan' is given to give it a more spicy taste.

Mmmm.... smells good....looks good.....tastes good.

Yippeee.... Prawn!!

The lime and belacan that goes well with it

Not many people know how to make good laksa. The stall in 'Fat Cat' is one of the good ones that can be found in Kuching.

To top it off.... a locally brewed coffee!!

To top it off.... is to drink a good old cup of locally brewed coffee!

I have cravings for Japanese food. I love Japanese food! Recently a famous Japanese food chain spread its wings into Kuching. That is non-other than the famous Sushi King. Before Sushi King came into Kuching, there are a few Japanese restaurants in Kuching. Some of them are quite good.

Last year I got to know this new dish...well... I guess it was in the menu ages ago and its just that I didn't bother to try it. So one find day, while I was having lunch at Momoyama Japanese restaurant. I decided to try out something new. So I settled for the Unagi set. Just in case some of you do not know what an Unagi is, let me explain to you what an Unagi is....ahemz...ahemz...the definition of Unagi as define is "edpedia"....Lol...joking, joking it should be wikipedia, Unagi is a Japanese word for fresh water eel. YES! Eel...slimy...squirmy snake like eels. Unagi are pretty common in Japanese menu.... the most common one is smoked Unagi and it is usually served with rice. So on that fine day, I got to taste Unagi... and I fell in love with it...the meat is soft and fleshy, the bones are edible (I think...so far I ate the small bones too...). The way the Japanese prepared the Unagi is just sensational.... the eel is not overcooked and the sauce they used for the Unagi is very nice. The sauce is sweet. From that day onwards...I became Unagi crazy.

Unagis .... awww...aren't they a cute bunch...sad they have to end up in someone's stomach...muahahaha

Whenever I am in a Japanese restaurant, I will order Unagi and gobble it down...and I feel so happy once I am finished with em.

Ready to be eaten Unagi...big portion....reasonable price =)

Then for the past few days... I kept having cravings for Unagi again! So I learned that a supermarket in Spring shopping Mall. So decided to go take a "looksee"..."looksee" and to my surprise it is not at all that expensive. In fact it is cheaper than eating them in a Japanese restaurant. Prices are tagged according to the weight. Average price is around RM11.60++ and its the whole Unagi as compared half Unagi when you go to the Japanese restaurant. I find the price reasonable and I sort of became a frequent customer there. Haha.!

The other thing I tried was...seasoned octopus... not sure is this a Japanese delicacy... but Kelly introduced it to me. You can obtain it from Ta Kiong Supermarket in Spring too. Price range for the octopus depends on the weight too. On average the price is around RM8.00. The seasoned Octopus is just as good as the Unagi. Is kind of sweet too but its really really very nice. I feel in love with it too. The best part for both of these dishes is that, no preparations are needed for it is ready to eat.

Seasoned Octopus....ready to be eaten too.... they taste just as good as the Unagi!

I know... I must have sounded like a glutton now... gosh...but food is just so good... I mean good food makes you feel so good. But...hey... I watch my diet too ok... I have been going for jogging sessions with my friends during weekends.... I know what are all of you thinking! WEEKENDS only?? Better don't go jogging like tha..... but... but... hey.... its a good start for me.... considering I am such a lazy bump when it comes to exercising. Ha Ha!
