First RANDOM post as I've no idea what to talk about yet felt like blogging...
Today was one heck of a day for me... Just completed the HIV/AIDS workshop conducted by interns from Kazakhstan and Korea... Very informative but can be improved... No pictures as I was too busy studying how to use a CONDOM and listening to my friend's SEX talk and the theory of HIV coming from monkeys...
Anyways just a few moment ago I was planning to catch up with some of my high school mates at her house but in the end got CANCELED due to her need of studying so instead David and I went to find our old gang at the badminton court and we went down to 'pasar malam' to catch up on the RECENT happenings among us... Felt glad that I could meet back some of my old mates...
One thing I want to promote here is for all the SENIOR 5 HOPE students in year 2007 please come for the gathering at my place on the 4TH of APRIL at 5.30P.M. as a lot of us will be leaving soon so this might be the last time we can meet until like years... So please do ATTEND okay??
Another thing is for those who are interested in knowing more about HIV/AIDS you can join our workshop conducted by AIESECERS so if you are interested please email or SMS me...

Friday, March 13, 2009- Too Late... -
Well I just felt that today... I was already in suspicion for about two weeks but I just brushed it off... Maybe it was this or maybe it was that... But this MORNING showed me that you must always take a step when you have a chance to... I was too late... There's no such thing as turning back in life... Just like what happened last year... There's just no turning back but just hope for the body to HEAL if possible...
Deep down I CRIED and was breaking down... Felt hopeless and LONELY... Concentration wasn't there for the day... If only I have taken the BOLD move... I blame no one but my own self for this...
Even though this is not the end but it feels like an END of a chapter to me... Looking down on an empty hallway I slowly realized... There's never been anything going my way in this sort of things... It was a pitiful and SAD day for me today... But at least I learned what I need to learn... And I know in FUTURE what I could do but shouldn't do... To prevent my heart from dying one piece at a time...
Wish you all the best with him...
Anyways sad story apart lets talk about some of the REVIEWS I can think of to ease my mind...
REVIEW #1
Watchmen The Movie
For fanboys and fangirls this was the MOMENT we have waited since the day we finished reading the graphic novel... The story within it is so intense and so full of stories within each character that it's too hard to describe to everyone... Even in the movie itself...
For those who have no idea what WATCHMEN is about, it's about an alternate 1985 where President Nixon is elected as President due to the help of a masked vigilant named Dr. Manhattan which is the only being with powers... In this world SUPERHEROES are very real even though they don't have any abilities but they tried to protect the SOCIETY until an act came which banned all adventuring a.k.a. masked vigilantes walking around saving people... On top of this story is that the Soviet Union also planned on a nuclear war due to U.S. having the strength of Dr. Manhattan...
The story starts with the DEATH of one of the masked vigilantes which caused an investigation on who's ticking off costumed heroes and the story goes on...
For fans of the graphic novel and for those who have read it might find the movie quite entertaining and while the director Zack Snyder followed and copied about 70% of the NOVEL into the movie he chose to delete off some of the major parts of the novel... And I'm actually glad that he changed the ending to something much and I mean really much BETTER than the novel which certainly closed the story better... Hopefully those important scenes will be in the unreleased DVD which I'm hoping to get...
So in conclusion for fans, watch the show if you have the chance... It's the BEST Watchmen-to-movie that you can get even though there were some flaws in it...
For people who have no idea of Watchmen but want to watch this movie, this review is for you... As some of my friends didn't read the novel first, they complained a lot on how strong Dr. Manhattan is or how long the movie was and how boring it is for some... But actually the movie was already a SUPER CUTTHROAT of the real novel with some important parts missing...
For those who seek for action you won't find much in the movie but Zack Snyder included a few interesting action scenes that the novel can't offer... If you have 3 hours to spare then Watchmen is something for you... It might be long and the character development wasn't really strong compared to the novel but it can be said as the BEST movie in cinemas now...
Anyways for those who have yet to read the novel please WATCH the movie first and see whether it's suitable for you... Then go ahead to the novel as it would clear the whole PICTURE that the movie will give you...

REVIEW #2
Dragonball: Evolution
Ahhh Dragonball... Who could have forget the old days where children run around and shout Kame-hame-ha or trying to turn into SAIYANS and stuff... Well Hollywood sure knows how to earn money and produce movies that are popular to everyone... Even my parents know what is DRAGONBALL...
For those who don't know what Dragonball is about, well look no further... It's about a boy named GOKU who has been trained since young and he has to collect the 7 Dragonballs scattered around the world to make one perfect WISH while the evil Piccolo tries to stop him...
I'm not really sure whether this plot is the same with the MANGA as it's been long since I read Dragonball and there are a lot of so called parts and seasons in the manga... Anyways that's the SUMMARY of the movie...
To tell you the truth Hollywood's incarnation of some FAMOUS figures has been either a hit or a miss... Examples like Transformers and Dark Knight has been a total hit while Hulk or Fantastic Four for me has been a total miss... For me Dragonball: Evolution is a miss... Not totally but still a high miss...
Apart from the cool SLOW-MO action sequence which the movie is packed with, everything else was quite a rip-off... The lack of character development, cheesy lines, funny accent especially Kame-hame-ha, the HAIRSTYLE Goku has, and the short plot ruined the whole fun in watching the movie...
The movie has a whole lot of POTENTIAL in it but it was wasted fully except for the front part of the movie before Goku know about Piccolo which was quite good... And I just received news that they are spawning a SEQUEL for the series... Hopefully they know their mistake now and try to improve it for the second one...

REVIEW #3
1856
WooHooo I finally got the game!!! It has been on my WISH LIST for quite a while but I deleted it a long time ago because its difficult for me to get it in Malaysia... Recently I went down to SINGAPORE and I got hold of this small-box-yet-massive-playtime set...
Don't let the cover or the components of the game fool you... It's a total CHAOS and massive railroading/stock market in a box!!!
1856 is all about trains and stocks... For those who are taking business or Economics this is one suitable game for you...
You start off as the president of a private company and that's when innovation and railroad breakthrough turn you into a president of public companies railroading in UPPER CANADA... You have different entities in the game as presidents and also a shareholder of other companies which your opponents hold... The winner is determined by who has the most cash at end game...
Watch out as transfer of presidency can occur anytime and also the Government which can take over your company at a point of time during the game... The duration for a full game is approximately 4 hours which can span even longer but you won't feel the time pass as chaos on tracks and also share prices are ENSURED in the game!!!
In my opinion 1856 is one of the best game I owned currently... A simple mistake can cause a lot of damage in the later part of the game and a lot of interaction among players will definitely occur and don't forget the chaos or the backstabbing... For those who want to have a go with this game you can always contact me through my e-mail or leave a COMMENT in my chatbox...
