Wow! How fast time flies and yeah, hey fellow readers… How have you been? I’ve been busy, well work and been travelling a lot for work recently.

I had a conversation yesterday and it’s about how complicated the relationship of a friend of mine is.

Say, C was in a relationship with A and their love for each other was going downhill with compatibility issues.

Then, enter B who C met at place D and soon affections were seen flying between them.

Hence, at this point, I asked “What’s the difference of B and what makes him better man than A?”

C said something along this line “He is caring and loving.” but I was not satisfied with the answer and asked further, “Define “caring” and “love” to me.” which she replied, “well… he has his persistence and expressiveness…”

At that, I practically continue driving and trying very hard to decipher her reply of ‘persistence and expressiveness’ and thought to myself, “is that just to attract the opposite gender or fulfilment towards a relationship or love?”. I did not post the same thoughts to her.

But then again, I remember writing something about making a relationship work earlier this year and I found my written piece of Best Out Of Love

In the end of the day, love is a very subjective topic and it is a very personal issue which takes more than one person to work on it, to make it work. I guess, when it comes to love, we just have to make the best out of it. Make the best out of love because love knows no boundary and with love, everything’s possible.

YapThomas. 23rd January 2010

I would like to think that finding the right life partner takes more than persistence and being expressive.

I shall leave it as just that, as I have my own views, but do feel to ask me in person to know what it is.

I’ve wrote more than enough in this category of Love & Relationship for me to reflect and know what I pretty much want on this certain subject (Love & Relationship) of my life.

On another note, today I watched Tandoori Love which is now showing at GSC International Screens’ European Film Festival 2011.

Awesome movie and love the quirky way how they write about love and put it on screen. Must watch while they are still running it. Please check the movie show times here > GSC International Screens

Till next time, ciao!

When you see someone who is imperfect, what do you have in mind?

When you see someone who is less fortunate, what can you do to help?

Have you had any struggle in life that you feel so beaten that you think, that’s it, there is no more hope and you are useless and you are incapable of doing something great for yourself? I know people who feels so.

Then, let me show you this short film by directed by Joshua Weigel and produced with his wife, Rebekah Weigel which has won numerous film awards. This movie features the Spanish heartthrob Eduardo Verastegui.

This movie is about Will who is born without limb. Nick Vujicic acts as Will in this short film. If you haven’t heard about Nick Vujicic then you should start spending some time in YouTube listening to his inspirational talks he gave.

When you see someone who’s born without limb, do you curse him/her as much as you think he is cursed from God? Maybe he/she is the chosen one by God to remind us how beautiful life is and to also to tell us that despite any imperfection in our life, the love towards one and another should never be less than imperfect.

What do you think? I personally think this quote is so meaningful:

“The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph”

It is so true, the greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph will be in our life. Simply to say, if we fall… no matter how bad the wound, never ever fail to stand up. If we fail to even try to stand up, we fail forever.

There are many people who has disadvantages and people would just ignore their existence or just curse their existence. Like those who have AIDS for example, people would start to distance themselves away from them.

This short film shows us that, even if we are in our imperfect state, we can still inspire other lives.

Share this with your friends, family and loved ones.

I can say that Burlesque was brilliantly done. I can’t say that I am a good movie critic like many others out there, but if asked what would be about the movie I liked about, it would be the story line, music and choreography.

Not forgetting the brilliant vocal of Christina Aguilera and gosh… Cher still has the ooommphh! Plus, I don’t know why most movies/shows Eric Dane is in that I watch, he has to be an ass. Hahaha.

Let me not spoil the movie for those who haven’t watched it yet, as it was released since last November 2010 and now only in Malaysia this coming Thursday.

There is this song sang by Cher in the movie that I particularly like.

It’s the part where Tess (Cher) sang the song “You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me” on the way out of her club.

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
You haven’t seen the last of me

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
You haven’t seen the last of me

Tell me you liked the song too. This song brings many meaning to me.

I’ve been pushed way to a breaking point that I had to struggle very much (which I still am) and to venture into a business of my own which is not an easy task given the financial support which was the main issue.

On a point where I would be most likely be spending time behind bars and times where financial institutions would profile me as “high risk”. These are all history.

Also on how I was being treated and taken advantage of when it comes to trust. Not only that, but in relationships with family friends and opposite gender.

Those are just a few of the many that I had to endure, but no, it will not stop me from going forward.

You haven’t seen the last of me, yet and I think you all should do the same to!

It was in January 2008 where (read about my visit) I visited this small refugee home and I took this video below. Watching it again, I miss this place and I do hope they are still around, with better support of course.

Then, recently I found out that there is a drama and documentary made about the Burmese refugee here in Malaysia.

I can’t remember where I picked this up, but I knew that I saved it in my “Read Later” Tab on Firefox.

The Drama
HOME is a short drama about the journey of Burmese refugee Roi Roi’s search for a home in Malaysia.

The Documentary
Many Burmese refugees flee to Malaysia to escape the tyranny of their country’s military junta. Despite surviving a grueling journey across the borders of Thailand and Malaysia, many find themselves victims of human rights abuse and human trafficking in Malaysia. This is a documentary that unveils the heartbreaking stories of Burmese refugees in Malaysia through testimonials of their horrific experiences.

There will be a film screening this coming 23rd October at The Annexe Gallery at 8.00 PM. It is presented by SUARAM and for further info, you can call 03-77843525 (SUARAM).

Unfortunately, I can’t make it to this event… as I will be flying off in approximately 20 hours to a perfect “honeymoon” with my love one.

Can someone please update me on the outcome of this drama and documentary if you happen to be there. Pwweeassseeeee…

Note: All pictures from The Annexe Gallery website.

But before I go and catch the murderer, I was told that I need to audition myself to earn myself a trip there. Oh trust me that I’m well equipped!

Don’t believe? See for yourself…

The “knife” is imported all the way from Sarawak. Don’t know where Sarawak is? It is where there’s a lot of headhunters. Master Bujang Anak Tua gave it to me wan. Instant kill ah that “knife”. Don’t play play okay, it may look small but very the powderful…

Oh and the bin? It is for me to cover that murderer’s head from behind. I will be sneaking up to the murderer from the back, cover the head and stab with the “knife”…

AND AND And… I cover my eyes so that I see no evil, evil no see me.

Now.. who wanna hire me?

Went for Harry Potter yesterday and you know what?

Of course you don’t!

I couldn’t remember how many times I fell asleep in the cinema.

Yes, FELL ASLEEP! -__-

Like seriously. I mean, I like Harry Potter movies but this latest installment is so freaking slow that I fell asleep!

No offence to you Harry Potter fans out there. But IT IS REALLY A SLOW movie this one.

Should have watched a Thriller instead and keep this movie for my “home theater”…

I went there late as there was a big big “drama” before that. Friend called for emergency as he has won something. He needs me to be there because him, being the staff there can’t claim the prize. The prize comes in four digits and it’s in cold hard cash. So, I’m just the dummy. I don’t get a cut so, don’t ask. Well actually, I haven’t even ask about my cut. He needs the money badly lah, so consider him luck then.

I was running late. I made it to Cineleisure in 15 minutes from KL. To make things more dramatic, my petrol light was blinking and it has been blinking since evening when I came back from Palace of the Golden Horses. I drove in “high speed” from Jalan Sultan Ismail to Cineleisure to make sure I make it in time. Lagi worst, my guest was there already! Anyways, all is cool. I made my “grand” entrance into the cinema and found myself a seat in third row from the screen. Sadness.

Back to this movie…

I think, the movie is good. Not too bad. Reason why is because I didn’t anticipate much on the outcome but rather anticipated a rather ok or good movie. I did not read the or watch the anime version of it so I rather not comment further. But basically, I like the fighting scenes lah. I actually do like it until I see a lot of censorship. Which, pretty much killed the whole anticipating of watching a good movie. So yeah…

In my own personal point of view. When you rate 18SG. You freaking NOT CENSOR it. Why? you stupid censorship board is undermining our age is it? Why even rate 18SG when you can’t think logically that those who are watching this movie is going to be a mature crowd.

The whole gist of this movie and why people watch it is because of the sword fighting scene. People like me watch this because of the “body chopping” scene! When you censor it, it is more or less like cheating our  money and I feel that we as cinema goers should ask for refund then. Because, what I am paying is for a full movie, but you people in the “you know where you are” have to come up with some rather nonsensical ruling of censoring certain parts of the movie.

Pardon me, but HOW STEWPID lah!

I wouldn’t blame Columbia Pictures or the director and what not lah because my sentiment is not towards this movie BLOOD: The Last Vampire, but other movies as well lah. I feel the makers for this movie has done a great job.

That is why when these kinda censorship happens, we go all out to buy pirated DVDs to watch. Myself, I rather just wait another month and download it off Torrent rather than contributing to Malaysian economy which doesn’t even justify the purpose and final outcome.

Oh wells, you can watch the trailer here embedded from YouTube.

Okay… enough of ranting… Go watch this movie while you can, wherever it might me.

It was a great movie meet and by far, it’s the largest crowd ever! 35 people came!

Little did I know that such a random planning sparked from a small planned controversy is now like a super big thing now. Let’s just see how far can this BMM go lah, say there would be BMM10?

So how was BMM3? It was fun indeed. Let’s head on to the pictures.

The usual meeting spot, McDonalds Cineleisure…

Collected monies and went to pay for it… Total RM 339! Whoa!

The number of tickets equals the height of Pamsong.

Meeting old faces Janx (BMM2) and new faces like Ewin (BMM3) are part of this BMM.

No boundaries, families are also invited!! Yatz brought his sister and sister’s bf.

It’s time for the movie, but not before the customary group picture before we enter.

A little surprise surprise after the movie. There was a proposal… So Shweet!

We are such a camwhore lah! Everywhere also must take picture…

The usual, what to do after the gathering? Sit down, chill and chit chats…

This Bloggers Movie Meet is brought to you by DGMBians…

Those who attended? Read the full list here at Drewnity’s blog.

Joshua did a video out of it too! Watch it…

Bloggers Movie Meet 3 by DGMB from joshuaongys on Vimeo.

I would say, maybe the next BMM4 will definitely be a better one with more than 40 people attending and what not. Whoa! Ambitious! Okay lah… let’s see who wanna sponsor our next BMM. Nuffnang?

But oh wells… seems like the essense of all these has changed so much over the past year…

Some spice needs to be added to this whole BMM lah… Don’t you agree?

I once knew this guy who dates a lot of random girls at one go. He is a big player and of course, he has the money. His money doesn’t come clean and let’s just say each night, he can spend more than RM 500 on either food, entertainment or alcohols.

I have seen him at his ‘peak’ with 8 girlfriends at one go. Oh, and each of his girlfriends obeys him like ‘bitch’. (What? That’s a female term of dog mind you.) Till the day he lost all of them.

I pity each one of them. Though, I’ve only met like 5 out of the 8.

He treats them like toy. Like seriously. He controls who they go out with, and control when they can go out with him. I was impressed at how he can keep all 8 of his girlfriends secret from one another. Oh wait, the key is to keep them apart far away from each other. That’s why he has got one girl in Klang, Subang, Damansara, Cheras and Johor. Yeap, there you go… the 5 girlfriends of his.

There came one time, Girl #1 found out about Girl #4 and oh gosh! I tell you, it was real havoc. But he took it like a man… He got bashed by both the girls on the spot. I don’t know at that time, I should be laughing at the ‘cat fight’ or pity him…

Oh wells, time has past, last I know he kinda like moved on and settled with on. God knows how long that relationship of his last. I last saw him was more than a year ago. He is one of those friends which I would regard as, not important in my life.

I guess this movie pretty much relates to people like him…

I want to watch this movie… so gimme one pair of tickets please, Nuffnang

For the uninitiated…

“First 75 write-ins will be given a pair of invitations to the Special screening of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past happening on 2nd of June!! The first 10 write-ins will also receive limited edition merchandises from the movie which is not available for sale anywhere else!”

What you waiting for? Read about it here and start posting!

There is one good thing about being a DGMBian. You get people who is so free like Joshua Ong to hog on to Nuffnang’s Blog all the time to see what’s new. Sometimes, Yatz does that too. Not for people like me who has got work to concentrate on.

Okay, I’m gonna head back to finish my work. I has been a crazy an eventful day.

Also happening as it is happening as it is lah! Muahaha

So here are the details

We’ll meet up at 12pm for lunch @ McD Cinileisure before heading to the cinemas @ 2.20PM

*Please be reminded that this is not a Nuffnang/Advertlets event, it’s an open event where Glitterati/Non-Glitterati/Titans/Non-Titans bloggers can join, thus this whole thing IS NOT FREE (the food and the movie) as we’re not as awesome/powderful as Nuffnang or Advertlets getting free stuffs here and there for everyone. =)

We’re just a few individuals who love meeting new people making new friends every now and then and this is more like a bloggers get together thing. So yea we’re paying the food and the movie ourselves as well and so i hope you understand. =)

For those who have RSVP, please reach before 1.00pm on Sunday (which is today) at McD as we’ll buy the tickets that time.

if you have any further questions, want to join us last minute and etc, you can text or call 013-3977100 =)
