Hello my precious readers and friends!
I am somewhat struck with two projects and second installation of Managerial Accounting test. I get a lot of shitty commitments from my group mates although some of them are quite faithful to produce considerable good work. Unfortunately, their performances never been that consistent. HOWEVER..i can still cope their work standard since i am workaholic working all the projects till late.

Sadly, i have mental block in my mind that make me forgetting some things. I wonder because i used to remember everything easily. Probably the road accident i has develop mental block in me. I can tell you that i can't remember what happened to me after staring at traffic lights.
I wanted to write something on my previous blog entry but i forget to do.

I am doing this piece of writing.
In my 3 years span of my life, that was when i was 19 - 22 years old.
So many things happened in front of or to me and it took me 360 degree turn.
friends faint in front of me?friend killed in accident?father passed away out of sudden?friend vomit in front of me?
Everything like that happen to me. Woah, they changed me a lot because i prefer to live simple and comfortable life without abusing yourself like that.
Worse of all, my friend was killed in road accident when riding on the bike. I suspect a neglience of road check before doing anything.
I was dumbfounded and i couldn't continue playing game after i heard it from my primary school classmate.
It took huge impact on my other primary classmate,Louis because they were so close.
Today, Louis is so devout christian person. I prefer his current state than previous state. What change me is the colourful character of my youth into quiet and no-nonsense-action guy.
I can say that there is a slight regret for not leading this dead friend to the right path. Blinded by money, entertainment, fun and girls..they lead him to this road accident and killed. It was one hell bloody hell and it was already too late to knock his sense. It was quite painful for one person. GONE LIKE THAT!DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR! These words will be strucking in your mind when something happen in front of you. I wonder what kind of happening is so powerful enough to change you. Maybe a death of your best friend? Young people nowadays treat things peaunts not until they haven't seen the real deal.
Not everyone is this lucky to live without getting killed.
If you want to live comfortable, don't do it for the sake of fun or fame such as 'If you can do it,so can i!'
This kind of quote is not clevely applicable to doing such stunts but best in use for people who are struggling.
I gave up smoking. I cut down my time to club. I cut down spending money on my favourite beer. I go out less often at night. Keep my lifestyle simple and never do too many stunts like challenging one to one. It probably contribute to my present look that make me look younger than my actual age. David suggest that i take care of my body well.*haha.i wonder if it is true fact*
Robbin William's Better Man song is just this kind of sentiment.

If i see something similar happening like that, my mind will instantly recall the bad days i saw. Let me reveal a bit more.
Most of the songs represent of past me and present me.

改造人 song show my past character of me being frustrated with fast changing character of humans.

不是定理 song often represent my past life.more like stifle to me in secondary school because the environment in secondary school is too much change for me unlike at primary school where i was bred with some foregin teachers and a student!

末世紀的呼聲 song..i believe that Nicholas wrote this song to express his feeling that reporters kept too much untrue rumours on him. In my secondary school, i heard too many untrue rumour about me there. i was a bit frustrated..not really bad ones but they are making me as if i am truly criminal. Of course it is true that i pwned a lot of their asses but not really that worse i thought. But i really don't know how cruel it is for their own perception. Just like those korean movies about high school..a hunk picking fight and win.so much airs..i was like that man! ~_~

因為愛所以愛..classic love song..every time i hear this song,i always remember how my heart bled so much after losing touch with female friend from my primary school. It was because we went to different path! Today i don't know if i still have that love.

魔鬼的主意...it is truly song that made me like devil.. for once i was devil protecting my self-interest. Even bad boys ask me to pity this person and give up something.

只要為你活一天...I always want to live and love someone day by day. It is my true intention but i haven't realise it. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THAT DAY!

非走不可..It was one of my favourite song..every time i leave primary school, secondary school and every school i used to study, i never went the same path as my classmates..I thought i would be stuying with Ka Ho and Grace in the same class but we ended up in three different classes..It was pain to miss them and make new friends.

謝謝你的愛1999..Yet another favourite song i like..I always sang it despite of my weak chinese language. It gave me wonderful feeling that i want to love again! BANISH MY ICY HEART! The song writier for this song is damn brilliant..the tone of each chinese character match nicely and sweetly...

愛後餘生..i already mention about it in previous blog entry. Again i really love this song a lot because i want to dream that i want to see this girl again. But i never had a chance to see her again.

玉蝴蝶- great universal song..it left me an impression that i always want to travel the world and see many beautiful nature and then RIP!

狼- I always fight hard for the rightness and defeat evil. Present Nicholas is trying to convey this way. Nowadays Nicholas and i do not have desire to play hard like youngsters. We are more likely mature persons who want to be good persons not wanting to do things for wrong reasons!

塞車 - It really recount many different expedition because i love to travel a lot...but by walking. When i walk more than 3 km, i get to see many interesting things and walk of life..Just what the song say about.

第二世 ..it remind me the day i changed myself to better person.HENCE I AM REBORN!
I can't simply believe that nicholas and i share so many similar opinions and choices.

Ha!But i still love to challenge people in computer game and mind game(just like death note animation).Fist 'game' is out of question and i am going to keep this promise. If i failed,i will be crying after winning the fist 'game'.

I catched up with friends again..
I talked with Joel. I was surprised that he move his home to somewhere near to my home. Funky guy...i can see that he is going to the path where i want to entertain my owh life. buying home theater system, projector, powerful desktop, laptop and go on. I can see that he is going on the right track to entertain himself.
I definately miss him!

Bloody hell,i always pass by my secondary school i used to study because of the bus i take to my present school. One day i left school a bit late, i happened to see students from my former secondary school..their uniforms are new and different colour and design compared to what i wrote few years ago back.
I was surprised man. The new uniform is much thicker and least transparent comapred to old uniform!

Arthur told me to watch out on Rath becaue he doesn't believe that Rath age should be younger than what he said. This Rath i met from IRC and he gave me an impression of 25 years old guy behaving like Mark Lee. He is very capable of spewing Hokkien vulgar just like Mark Lee. Today, he 'scold' my favourite singet because he suspect that he pay people to write his name under the song ownership. Oh well, he hasn't know the truth that my favourite singer did write some songs. I can easily tolerate it at least. If it is old of me, i would properly say the same things back to him.*grin*

Like father like son was the past thing for me. I think i take after my mother a lot.
Hence like mother like son! I am quite particular about cleanliness but not this much extent like my mother.

Gabriel is greatest friend i ever want to talk under the sun. YOU NAME IT and WE HAVE ALREADY TALK ABOUT! Incredible..he is intelligent guy with poor family background but a bit lazy to go greater things. At least i always enjoy the conversation with him.

Today Mick talked with me about opinions..
talk about the longer time u have done the more experience you have?
Actually experience is timeliness one and it is impossible to say 50 years experience is better than 10 years experience.. The principle proved that way beacuse many people don't learn at all even when they get to experience it for years and years! Jesus Christ..how can they don't learn anything..
Talking about skills,experience is not the key to it. Anyone can master this skill but what i am talking about rare talent that allow a person to master it 100% perfectly!When it occur, you don't need fucking experience to achieve perfection of a certain skill. Believe it or not! It is your call!

AWWW..i miss haibi sitting with me and then talking crap and cock. nowadays i am so bored because of uninteresting conversation. Different generation?maybe!



Ngor fu*Wo Hu*Operation Undercover(Hong Kong Movie 2006)



Synopsis:
The Hong Kong Police placed 1000 undercover officers in the various Triad groups in their efforts to bring down the criminal organization in Hong Kong. After one undercover officer's identity is discovered and he is killed, the pressure is put on one gang, suspicious of each other and everyone around them. Betrayal, deceit and murder bring this group of 'brothers' into a collision with the law, and each other.

Opinions:
Again,Hong Kong film industry seem to be keen making triad based movies.
Young and Dangerous 1 to 6 were into closed-action movie but now latest is about coporation.
distrust...being united among big brothers is being broken down...

Sadly,HK film industry is stagnant.No other movie that has all-HK cast exceed Infernal Affairs movie.

Rating:7/10

Nihon chinbotsu - Japan Sinks/The Sinking of Japan(Japanese Movie 2006)


Synopsis:
In the aftermath of a major earthquake under Suraga Bay, Misaki (a young girl) and Toshiro (a pilot of a deep sea submarine) are rescued from a ruined city street just as leaking gasoline ignites. Reiko Abe arrives just in time, lowered from a helicopter. Scientists predict that Japan will sink within 40 years, due to subduction of a tectonic plate to the west. However, Dr. Tadokoro, who leads an oceanic scientific team that includes Toshiro, calculates that this will happen far sooner, in only 338.54 days. He presents his findings to Prime Minister Yamamoto who decides to create a new department for impending disaster relief assigning Saoro Takamori to cover the new duties, since of all his ministers she will take it seriously but also bring "heart" to the process. As further earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions devastate Japan, the government pleads with other countries to take refugees. Yamamoto flies to China to negotiate relocations there, but his plane is destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Saoro fills the resulting vacuum in leadership and decides that Dr. Tadokoro's plan to blow holes in the disintegrating tectonic tectonic plate is the best remaining hope to not only save the people, but what remains of the country itself. Ironically it was her career that hastened their divorce 20 years earlier. Misaki becomes orphaned following her mother's death from earthquake injuries, and bonds with Reiko who was similarly rescued from, but orphaned by the Kobe quake. Toshiro is offered a job in England and wants Reiko and Misaki to come with him, but Reiko feels bound to help others and refuses to leave. Fellow submarine pilot Shinji Yuki also turns down Toshiro's offer to work with him in England. Drillships place massive explosives deep in the crust, but the detonator is not placed properly and Yuki dies attempting to place it by submarine.

Opinions:
Wow,it is a bit similar to The Day After Tomorrow in terms of concept. But The Day After Tommorrow has better visual and sound effect than Japan Sinks.
Very very emotional..
Seriously, the movie is grossly underrated when most of people say it is not good.

Chakushin Ari-One Missed Call final (Japanese Movie 2006)





Synopsis:
Takashi Miike is a busy man, but his hard schedule doesn't seem to be affecting the quality of his films. "Chakushin Ari", released in theaters in early 2004, is the story of college student Yumi Nakamura, played by Shibasaki Kou ("Battle Royale"). Bored at a singles party, Yumi waits for her friend Yoko, who arrives to the party late after finishing work. While Yoko is changing clothes in the ladies room, she receives a phone call with a spooky ring tone she has never heard before. To make things creepier, the call appears to be from her own phone. Yoko listens to the message, which is dated three days in the future, and hears her own voice saying "It's started raining." The short message is followed by a bloodcurdling scream. Several days later, the events heard in the message actually occur, and Yoko meets a gruesome death.

However, Yoko isn't the last person to hear this strange ring tone. Others begin getting similar calls and meeting similar fates, and Yumi finds herself in a race against time to solve the mystery before her own number comes up...

Includes a "making of" featurette; TV spot(s); interviews with Shibasaki Kou, Miike Takashi, and others; event images; alternate storyline; photo gallery; staff and cast introductions and more. This package also includes a special "Natsumi-chan" rubber doll.

Opinions:
I have seen part 1 and part 2 and i was fucking expecting the closure of the horrow show. the ending show as if it is not all over!
Sadly, it is one great example when friends begin to lose trust among each other. The hell went loose..they totally lost the minds...

Rating:8/10(one mark extra due to serious acting by teengers)

Thin Red Line (Hollywood Movie 1998)

Synposis:
In World War II, the outcome of the battle of Guadalcanal will strongly influence the Japanese's advance into the pacific. A group of young soldiers is brought in as a relief for the battle-weary Marine units. The exhausting fight for a key-positioned airfield that allows control over a 1000-mile radius puts the men of the Army Rifle company C-for-Charlie through hell. The horrors of war forms the soldiers into a tight-knit group, their emotions develop into bonds of love and even family. The reasons for this war get further away as the world for the men gets smaller and smaller until their fighting is for mere survival and the life of the other men with them.

Opinions:
I love watching a lot of war movies. This movie is not too bad but not my type because i prefer war films like The Patton.
I think the opinion of the war and life overshadowed the war between American and Japan. But i did learn some interesting tactics from this movie.

Rating:7/10

Flags of Our Father(Hollywood 2006)
Click here for official website

Synopsis:
In February, 1945, one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific theater of World War II occurs on the tiny island of Iwo Jima. Thousands of Marines attack the stronghold maintained by thousands of Japanese, and the slaughter on both sides is horrific. Early in the battle, an American flag is raised atop the high point, Mount Suribachi, and a photograph of the raising becomes an American cause celebre. As a powerful inspiration to war-sick Americans, the photo becomes a symbol of the Allied cause. The three surviving flag raisers, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes, are whisked back to civilization to help raise funds for the war effort. But the accolades for heroism heaped upon the three men are at odds with their own personal realizations that thousands of real heroes lie dead on Iwo Jima, and that their own contributions to the fight are only symbolic and not deserving of the singling out they are experiencing. Each of the three must come to terms with the honors, exploitation, and grief that they face simply for being in a photograph.

Opinions:
It is very nice story exposing the truth. What TRUTH?!?!??! It is all about misidentification on one person who is the part of planting the American flag activity. I respect Ira for being honest and forthright. If i am there, i am not going to take the credit for what i never did before. I always make my point to take credit if only i have done something meaningful and successful. If things are not successful for me, i am not going to make it big credit but more like a learning curve for me. Fantastic picture and sound..I was in awe!!!!!! I am looking forward for 'Letter from Iwo Jima' movie!

Rating:9/10
