Uncertain…

imes fly by and One begins to wonder if One’s ability and One’s doing has been enough. When I think about this, I think of the movie ‘Bicentennial Man’. Remember that movie starring Robin Williams? That was a great movie.

Has what I have been doing been enough? Have I done what I have wanted to do? Have I been with the people I wanted to be? Am I with the person I wanted to be? So many questions and no apparent answer in sight. What should I do? Who should I meet? Who should I talk to?

All my life to my remembrance, I have probably going on a one track journey. No lefts rights or any sorts of deviations. I feel so lost. Looking at everybody around me I wonder if they have the same problem as I do. Why am I even writing this blog? Is it to gain sympathy? To get attention? I feel like theres something large missing in my life and I have a feeling its right in front of me facing me. The problem is I don’t know what it is! It’s just there in front of my face, staring at me, beseeching me to come get it. To claim it is mine… Is it a somebody? Is it a something? Ir is it something that only your heart can see? I wish I knew what it is…

Why am I doing this? What am I looking for? Probably in the end I would never know…

AJ’s Movie Review… Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

Willy_wonka

First up, I have never seen the original movie when it was showing way back when. Or even if there was a movie of this strange yet funny movie. But when I went to watch it with my friends, I have to truthfully say it was well the worth the money spent buying the ticket! Even more! It was one of the most imaginative movies I have ever watched by Tim Burton, full of color and a warped sense of imagination which makes it appealing to both the adults and the younger generation!

Now I won’t go too much into detail about the movie. Just a small info on what the movie is all about. The movie revolves around a young boy named Charlie Bucket who is from a poor family living under a shadow or a HUGE chocolate factory owned by a colorful and enigmatic Willy Wonka. Now, Charlie and four other children (there’s only 5 golden ticket in the whole wide world) managed to find himself a Golden Ticket which allows him a one day visit into the mysterious Wonka Chocolate factory guided by Willy Wonka himself. Now this is where all the fun and adventure begins! Full of color and mystery, cooky candy inventions, funny moments, and musical extravaganza theme’ in 70’s straight up to the 90’s. My favorite would be the rock theme which reminded me a lot of Led Zeppelin, Scorpion and Kiss! Watch the movie if you want to know what I mean. You won’t regret it!

Help! Haze Alert!

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

Warning
The last really BAD haze was in 1997 back in Sarawak where Martial law was first initiated. The count was over 600. The lever for dangerous was 300 to 500. but back then it was 600 plus. So what does that tell you about the haze that we’re having here in KL? Will it get worse, or better? Nobody knows yet. Will they be able to put out the fires in Sumatera before its too late? All this haze sort of reminds me of the game Silent hill. The haze doesn’t drop in on you. It ROLLs in an a creepy way. I saw that for myself this morning going to work. The haze making the sun orange also gives a Twilight Zone kind of feeling. What the helll is going on here?? Its no just the haze, its the smell of it, the white dust that comes with it, and the foreboding effect it kind of wraps around us. Like a Post Apocalyptic kind of mement. Okay okay, a bit melodramatic, yes I know. But look around you people. At lunch time today, i saw a couple of storm troopers walking out of a restaurant! You know those filter breather mask comes in various shapes and designs right. Well, some of them look like storm trooper masks and i also thought i just saw Darth Vader walk by! I think i wanna get one of those masks…
Before i blabber on non stop, i’ll just stop here. And again…

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??? ISN’T ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING???

Bowling Your Problems Away…

Bowling_2

For quite a while now i’ve been playing a sport which has really helped me a lot when it comes to stress relief. That one and only sport which I look forward to every week. Playing it once, sometimes trice a week. Playing till I feel like my are is about to fall of and my back and knees feel like breaking. Listening to the sweet sound of crashing pins of a Strike, the glory of getting a Turkey or the humiliation on spinning or hooking into the gutter. What am I talking about? Bowling

How long has it been before I finally picked up a bowling ball? I think probably about 3 years. I was still studying back then. Now i’m throwing a neon-green, 13 pound Hook ball at defenceless pins. But their not that defenceless. Those pins have faces of people or things which I so dearly HATE. Remember when I said bowling is great stress relief sport. Now you’ll know why. Ever had a time when nothing seems to go your way, and everybody is on your case about something? Just put a face on one (or all) the pins and let the ball loose with accute pressision release and calculation. Then watch the pins explode with great sense of satisfactions. now multiply it with as many games your playing. What do you get? A great physical, cardiovascular and mentally satisfying game.

What more can I say about this sport (other than my TaeKwan Do classes)? Intense satisfaction. Have I said that already? More satisfying now that I have my own bowling ball and shoes. I might just get another bowling ball and those bags with wheels. Lugging a 13 pound ball is murder on the shoulder using a sling bag. Add another 13 pound ball?? I might as well get a shoulder implant! I know my right arm is slightly bigger and stronger with all the throwing around.

Anyway, Nuf’ Said. LaterZ.
