Act Of Valor

Went to watch this movie at Cathay AMK Hub today.

It is a movie about a group of patriotic and enthusiastic active-duty U.S navy SEALS who fought hard against terrorism. I've long heard of U.S navy SEALS whose biggest mission was the hunt-down of Osama Bin Laden in Iraq.

It started off with a kidnap of a CIA operative which results in the discovery of a terrifying global threat. It is a group of people doing illegal weapon production and training people for suicide bomb. So an elite team of highly-trained Navy SEALS embarked on a adrenaline-fueled mission. The outcome of it will affect the fate of us all.

One of the best scenes I find in the movie was when the team was on a mission in Mexico. The chief of the team sacrificed himself by covering the grenade which was going to explode to save his teammates. It was a movie about courage,royalty and honour.

Dream and Desire

No one gets to the end of their lives and regret going for their dreams. We only live one life. There are no do-overs. If we let time slip by without pursuing our dreams, then we may lose our true calling in life.

But what differentiate dream and desire?

Dream brings us hope, but desires don't.

Desires only lead to more desires. It's like a never-ending cycle.

Dream brings us happiness.

Desires will only bring sadness, because you will never be contented with what you have.

Look at those old folks in old folks home. Sitting on wheelchair having problems moving around.

What keeps them alive? Dream or desire?

Timeless Love 那个夏天

Timeless love is an upcoming local Singapore movie which is to be released on 8th March.

First look at the chinese name of the movie, it reminds me of the famous Taiwanese love movie 那些年，我们一起追的女孩. And the movie poster is quite the same.

So here is the synopsis of the movie which I found in Google :

Morgan is a wealthy university student who has been living with his grandmother since young. However, he is also a lonely boy whose systematic way of handling things that result in paranoia when something was amiss led to a rigidness and inflexibility in his behaviour that others find intolerable. His life soon changes when his grandmother passes away, and amongst her belongings, Morgan finds an island's lease and a few pictures of his grandmother and a stranger posing intimately in an island. He somehow recalled that his grandmother used to tell him stories of her regrets with regards to a watch and the island when he was younger... Intrigued about the identity of the mysterious man and to escape the paparazzi, he decided to head to the island to unravel the mysteries and seek answers.

Honestly I am not into local movie and I don't really know any of the directors and actors of the movie. Those whom I know are just Desmond Koh who I saw him hosting some Singapore TV shows on TV and Aloysius Pang who acted in the famous childhood movie I'm Not Stupid.

So I was at the actors meeting-up session at Choa Chu Kang the other day . It was just so coincident that me and my friends were there to have our dinner and saw this event going on.

So we just stopped by,joined in the crowd ( which was not really big,I think just 30-50 people,and mostly girllsssss) which somehow made 3 of us guys felt awkward to join in haha.

Sometimes I wonder why all the die-hard fans are normally and mostly girls. I think it's just their inborn nature. haha

Oh yeah happened to find the song of the movie in Youtube. The name is 当我们正同在一起. It's quite soothing and calming.

On top of the.... Singapore!

So I was at the highest point of Singapore yesterday---- the summit of Bukit Timah!
Feel so proud of myself. Haha
I've never make myself to the highest point of anyplace by my own effort ( my legs ).. Not even my home town--TAiping!
The highest point of Taiping is at the height of 1035m above sea level, the peak of Maxwell Hill. I've been there few times before but was by the jeep service provided there. I think I must seriously consider hiking up to the tip myself 1 day to consider myself as Taipingite!
Haha
So the hike yesterday was humid. With rain drizzling. It was really cooling with the mist around us as if we were in the heaven!
Siang kept complaining of how stupid he was to follow us for the hike yesterday which is why I think he is what he is today ( his size ) haha
The hike up was surprisingly easy. I never expect it to be so low! It's only 163m above sea level. And it's the highest point of Singapore!
When we reached the tip rain started to get heavier and so we hid from the rain under the 'summit hut' there.
We were the 1st to reach there. And few moments later few groups of people also reached and planned to stay there until the rain get lighter.
Faint splattering sounds came from our head, hissing as lightning struck the sky. I could hear the wind tugging at the trees, and small droplets of water rolled down the hut. We chit-chat happily. It was a nice moment chatting as the wind blowing at you.
We waited there for almost an hour and as we saw the people around started leaving we began to feel unease. When we were the only 3 left waiting there at last we decided to begin our journey down regardless of the rain. Jacky wore his poncho while I shared my small umbrella with the big sized Siang! Haha
We got drenched but we were warm inside. The experience wasn't bad at all. We enjoyed talking and joking around. And I think this is what friendship is all about! :)

Here comes the 3rd month of Year 2012 and shamefully this is only my 3rd blog entry of the year.

I've been getting really lazy to blog. Still remember last time I used to blog at least twice a week,and now it's like only once in a month.

After having a DEEP self-reflection,I've came up with 3 reasons of this sharp decrease of blogging frequency.

The very 1st reason : Time is precious. Instead of spending long time writing blog, I would go for Twitter!

My 2nd reason : I can hardly find a frequent-blogger around me. I don't want to be different! (I know it's just an excuse)

3rd : Blog used to be a good channel to channel my feelings. And now I've

found another better medium which is a definitely the best substitution.

And It's only a 'text' away!

3 reasons for my 3rd post and in the 3rd month of the Year.

I know it's lame but please bear with me. I am way too bored.

My semestral exam had just ended. End of Year 2. My roommate dumped me and joined his classmates for sweet 3 days 2 nights chalet by the picturesque seaside I-don't-know-where. 2 of my housemates,1 in his mid 30s I guess as per normal went out to work,the other 1 went visit his grandma and will not be back for the next few days.

I'm all alone in the small unit!

Downloaded an e-book called 'Personal Finance for 20s for Dummies' . I admit I'm a dummy haha. The first chapter teach me how to calculate my worth,define my worth,figure what I own etc. Wtf I own nothing I'm just a peasant with a pitiful amount of money in my bank acc .haha

Then I was too boring I went reading other people's blog. Just found out the Nuffnang co-founder,Timothy Tiah's blog. It's an active blog unlike Kennysia who don't update his blog that often anymore. I read of how he runs his company. How he flies to hold meeting with his so-called Nuffies.How he proposed to his gf which I think most of us watched the video on youtube.

And I just found out his fiancee is only 4 feet 9 in height. Okay I shouldn't complain much about mine anymore haha.

OMG I find myself so meaninglessly living now. I've the full collection of series in my hard disk 'Homeland' , 'The Mentalist' and 'White Collar' now I don't know which 1 to start from.

It's a nice weather to nap but I find taking nap a big waste of time.

OMG I find myself in an ironical state now......

Sometimes..

Sometimes I feel happy , sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I feel contented , sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I feel restless , sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I feel tired , sometimes I don't.

This is life. Learn to accept the fact.

Accept what God endow to us.

I'm blessed!

I still remember me posting about how I aim for it and fought hard for it..

And now the result is OUT and I'm IN!

Thanks God!

Yea for this I really want to thank God!

Keeping fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and I'll be flying in the year end!
