Movie-Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

'Everything you know is about to change forever.'

Just finished watching the movie with my family and I have to say that this is a really good movie that follows the tracks of the first installment. I love the fact that Aslan always says something profound and displays that messianic figure. The movie again proves to show that good triumphs over evil in the battle for mans' heart. It was really heart-warming to watch the movie as it reminds me so much of what God has done, and will do. As the tagline says, what we know can make a difference in both our own and other lives. Is it put to good use? Sometimes i ask myself what the future holds and i can't answer for it.

In a scene Aslan said,"You'll never know what's going to happen next, but you'll know what will eventually happen." (something like that i think)

Rather, it's like there's no need to worry about the future, we know where this whole life is leading to eventually but what matters are the NOW moments. The movie shows a lot about faith too. Doubt in God, trust in men and likewise.

Lucy tells Aslan,"Everyone didn't believe in you." Aslan replied,"So what's stopping you from believing in me?"

God erases our doubt and fear when we look to Him. Many things of the world and even people, distract, discourage and tempt us out of that confidence we can have in Him. In the movie the older siblings, over time, had begun to lose faith in Aslan and even to the extent of losing hope and doubting his existence. The younger ones (resembling childlike faith) stand firm on their belief in Aslan and that gave them hope and eventually victory.

I think C.S.Lewis is an awesome writer though I haven't read his books but from testimonies I'm sure he is gifted and talented to write such great life-aspiring stories that has the truth instilled into it. Overall I believe this movie, if interpreted, can make a difference.



Good detailing, good plot, good humour, music could've done better, good story.

The epic battle for our hearts goes on.

Movie rating: 8/10

Malaysia Boleh??

sigh..once again the Great Wall of China fell on Malaysia..but despite the losing it was well fought...I salute Lee Chong Wei for his top-form performance and managing to give the team an upperhand but the following doubles by the Koo-Tan team and Wong's play, set Malaysian audiences hanging by their seats...Underdogs Zakhri n Fairuz gave M'sia a silver lining but alas Hafiz failed to deliver the finishing blow...well that's all for the mens...womens had better buck up too..can't depend on Wong Mew Choo alone..sigh.was hoping to see them all lift the long evaded Thomas Cup...but anyhow good effort and great performance! Hope they all do even better for Olympics!



p/s bleh...why of all times...why must it RAIN ON and OFF when one wants to WATCH BADMINTON...why...astro u gotta improve your satellite reception...make it weather-resistance...nasib you pandai..letak reruns..

Movie-The Air I Breathe

Semester break is on!! In come all the supposed-to-have-watched-but-couldn't-because-no-time movies!!! Recently have been watching a lot of movies...a lot...within a span of 3 days, i've watched the entire matrix trilogy, terminator trilogy, hot fuzz, run fatboy run, the bank job, alvin and the chipmunks, lord of war, over her dead body, iron man, speed racer and lastly; The Air I Breathe.

This movie is kinda interesting as it portrays an ancient Chinese proverb of life consisting of 4 emotions happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. Personally, i think there's more to life than just that...blame old chinese philosophers in ancient China...but anyway the movie in particular linked 4 people with the concept in mind and brought the movie into a nicely done plot, but what really showed through the movie, i think, was how fragile life can be without PURPOSE or HOPE.

All the characters lead their lives within the illusion of those 'emotions' due to their unforgettable past or events that they couldn't let go or the mindset that they refused to renew. However it turned out 'happiness' and 'pleasure' didn't get them far instead 'sorrow' and 'love' faired out well at the end. These are actually spoilers if you haven't seen this movie =_=''

It's an interesting movie anyhow, i give it a 7/10

Of Laundry and Assignments

My semester ended so been cleaning up the house...being so busy with assignments and all i seriously had no time to stop for laundry eventhough i had a washing machine...anyhow....

it somehow or rather slipped my mind that i actually DID laundry but one of my housemates took it out after washing (wasn't spun dry yet) and left it in my laundry basket whilst STILL WET...so time flies...about a month plus to be exact...seriously a month plus...i'm an architect student we wear the same clothes over, well the zealous types...anyhow...so a month later what do i find? hmmm...??

MAGGOTS AND FUNGUS AND DUST...

due to overgruesomeness i won't show pictures of them...anyhow...i've gathered them, disposed the un-savables, put the remainder in a bucket, drenched them with 3 types of dettol lotions, 2 types of anti-bacterial soap, deteregent, and lastly hot water. Left over a day, i am now in the process of restoring them minus the smell...so...thank God for washing machine and hopefully i'll pull through the trauma...

now i gotta wash my hands..they smell...weird....
