The Cave

August 25th, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Romania, 30 years ago. A group of cave explorers discovered an abandon ancient church in a secluded area in between the rocky mountains. Painted with murals of templar and winged demons, the church acts as the mark to a virgin cave located underneath it. However, upon blowing the entrance of the cave, the explosion causes the mountains to went down on the church thus trapping the cave explorers inside the cave

Romania. Present day. A new group of expert cave explorers were sent to explore the cave. Equipped with sophisticated equipments, their journey were relatively easy until an attack by a mysterious creature accidentally caused the narrow entrance to be sealed. With ration that can only last 12 days, the survivors desperately look for a way out while dodging the mysterious creatures.

Great movie. I love the simple story line. The suspense were nerve-wrecking and the action were heart pumping. I can actually feel the cold water and sharp edges of the cave just by watching the movie. I went in as a fearless man but went out as a claustrophobic sissy, sucking my thumb. You just can’t beat old school suspense thiller

Modern day Hang Jebat

I AM NOT ALONE. Happy! ^_^

To the muslims, the article is quite heavy. If you can’t keep an open mind, ask me for “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson, MD. It’s a fun book. I suggest you read it before clicking on the link. I have a copy you can borrow.

Forza Am!

Last weekend is the best! I went out to have lunch with R. We’ve been chatting for the past 3 months and this is the first time we’ve met face to face. She’s gorgeous. ^_^

Went bowling at Cosmic Bowl, Midvalley. At approximately 5.30pm 20 August 2005, for the first time in my life, I bowled a turkey (3 strikes in row). Hehe, I suck at bowling. My score board looks like this “—X–XXX—”. Yeah, I ‘longkang’ed the rest of it. Can’t win em all.

Elevator Incident

August 16th, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Yesterday, after work, I took the lift to go down to the ground floor. My office is at the 10th floor

9th floor, a guy came in.

8th floor, a girl came in.

Suddenly, there’s a sound of people having sex!! The screaming, the panting, the… well, you get the idea. It was really loud! My guess is, it must be one of their handphone’s ringtone. Not sure who’s phone. Embarrassed, both of them kept their heads really low and neither took out their phones. The ringing lasted until we reached the ground floor.

Gol & Gincu

August 9th, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Gol & Gincu tells the story of Putri, a perky girl who devoted her life solely to please her futsal-mad-boyfriend. She wears alot of pink, accessories everything, and smiles constantly. Her world turned upside down when her boyfriend decided to leave her for another futsal-mad girl. Determine to win him back, Putri started playing futsal.

Cool chick flick. I enjoyed it very much. Finally, there’s a Malaysian movie about football. The story was so well written. Great performance by Nur Fazura. Touches of advertisement also add realism to the movie. A fun movie for the family. An advise for guys, don’t watch it alone or with a guy friend. Watch it with a girl. Good job Bernard Chauly. Bravo!

Day 6. The haze is getting worst. Can’t even see the building in front of us, and that’s only about 500m. Worse, it has this burning smell that sticks on your clothes. Aiyah. Forgot to bring a handkerchief to cover my mouth. Can’t even imagine how much of those stuff I’ve inhaled riding my motorcycle. If I get lung cancer because of this, I’m gonna sue the Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar. *Sigh*. Hopefully, it’ll rain soon.

Somebody should make a movie about this

Wonderfalls

August 8th, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Welcome to the world of Wonderfalls. Set against the backdrop of Niagara Falls, Wonderfalls is a quirky one-hour family dramedy about an underachieving twenty-something souvenir shop worker named Jaye Tyler. Her life is forever changed when inanimate figures – including toys, cartoons and anything in the form of an animal, begin to talk to her. In each episode, the creatures’ cryptic messages set into motion a chain of unpredictable events that invariably lead Jaye into the lives of others in need.

Sounds like a kiddy show? Not. I’ve never seen a tv show that uses that many ‘bitch’ word in 1 hour. If you like ‘Becker’ or ‘Malcolm in the Middle’, you’d love this show. Highly creative and hilarious, I’d definitely recommend watching this show. Monday, Channel 70(Star World), 10pm Malaysia.

Here’s the lyric to the song the wax lion sings to torment Jaye in the first episode

Hello My Baby!

Words & Music by: Ida Emerson and Joseph E. Howard

Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you’ll lose me
Then you’ll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I’m your own

Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey
Hello, my ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my hearts on fire

If you refuse me
Honey, you’ll lose me
Then you’ll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I’m your own

Stealth

August 3rd, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Took place in a distant future, stealth tells the story about a fully intelligent stealth plane created by the US government to combat terrorism. The stealth plane, code named UVAC-EDI(Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle - Extreme Deep Impact). Being able to learn and communicate via voice, EDI were sent to observe and learn by joining missions done by an elite group of fighter-pilot. However, a freak lighting storm during the mission turns EDI into a renegade pilot.

I love this movie. Fast paced, high-speed chase, explosions every 5 seconds, nuclear warheads, flying fuel tanks, surgical precision weapons. If any of those are in your list of appetite, go see the movie. If not, do it for Jessica Biel. Man, she’s hot!!

7 Swords

August 2nd, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

This movie is based on a novel titled ‘Seven swordsmen from Mountain Tian’ tells the story during Ancient China. A new dynasty have taken power and as an effort to reduce revolts, they implemented a ban on all martial arts and anyone who practices martial arts are punishable by death. An ex-military officer named Fire-Wind sees this as his road to wealth since each head any martial artist can be exchange for money and started killing all martial artists including women or children.

Fu, a retired interrogator cum torturer feels a moral obligation to stop this massacre and tried to save Martial Village by enlisting the help of Master Shadow-Glow, a master sword smith from mystical Heaven Mountain. Instead, Shadow-Glow sent all five of his students to help Fu. Armed with Shadow-Glow’s 7 unique swords, Fu and his team of swordsmen battles the army of Fire-Wind.

This movie sucks. I mean it. I hate it soo much. Maybe because I don’t know Mandarin. Or maybe due to the idiot who wrote the subtitle. But feels like somebody tampered with the movie by cutting important scenes. I don’t understand anything. Characters were too shallow and were introduced too fast. The heroes are all the strong, boring and silent type. Plus, all of them came with the tortured soul look which makes this movie even more boring. This movie runs about 2 hour 20 minutes and even at the end, there’s too much loose ends that left audience confused and scratching our heads. I had to go look at the website to get the name of the master sword smith. The swords were supposed to be the main attraction but little were told about them. Even the sword fight scene were too fast, dark and blurry for anyone to see it’s unique ability.

There’s a scene where the duke of stupid moustache found a sword buried in the desert. This scene turns out to have no connection whatsoever to the story. Damn

Fat with a ph

July 28th, 2005 by bigmeanmachine

Went to a Body Composition test today at Giant Kelana Jaya.

Hehe. Turns out that I need to lose 3.9kg. The funny thing is, everybody was really shocked to hear this. They said that I look so skinny.

This really cute nurse(the reason why I took the test) took a drop of my blood and drip it on top of a strip of paper and slot it in a machine. After processing for about 180 seconds, it displays the result showing all sort of stuff in my blood. Then, at another booth, another nurse check for blood pressure and measured my waist size. After that, they measured my height and weight. From all this data, they punched these numbers in a computer and printed the result. All this took like 5 minutes and for only RM10. The money also, will be donated to charity.

Anyway, I’ve decided to start doing some cardio exercise back, and maybe lift some weight on top of that. Maybe even start swimming again every weekend.
