Melodies of Life

Please take  some time off to look at this very important message. Recently Malaysian Parliamentry sitting just announced the amendment of Section 114A which enables law enforcement officials to hold one accountable for publishing seditious, defamatory or libelous content online, as long as the allegedly defamatory content is traced back to one's username, electronic device and/or WiFi network . It means that anything you post, create or even share anywhere in the world wide web, if the Government thinks you're wrong then you will be heading to court. Example, if you share an alleged video of a famous politician having an affair, I'm not mentioning names here but here's a picture of one of the few that supports the ammendment of Section 114A below. If the Government feels this threatens the country, then I bid you good luck. This guy can be the next Samy Vellu I tell you... For example.... Okay... Back to the topic, despite all this, like most...

This is gonna be my first movie review in this blog. Actually, I have planned to do this long time ago but I'm just waiting for the right moment. When 'The Dark Knight Rises' came out, I was thinking "Why not make a movie review on an epic-ly phenomenal franchise superhero film. The movie is so epic that people thought they hold real guns and shoot everyone else in a theatre is like waiting for Batman to save them. For those who have not yet watched the movie PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE spoilers alert. The movie begins set in time 8 years after joker was put away and 2-face under everyone's perception that he is the hero of Gotham City. Bane, the badass appears 5 minutes into the movie as a kidnap victim (I wonder how he got there? Don't people already realise it's him when they take him prisoner? I mean, come on, that mask is huge and obvious). However, I did like how Bane crash the plane like it's from a Bond movie. Meanwhile, while everyone is re...

Are you familiar with these?? If yes, then you probably been to Bon Odori (or Obon). Bon Odori is a fun-filled event with decent Japanese food and kawaii girls. Everything is nice there except the fact that Bon Odori is not an event. It's a dance to honor the spirits of ancestors. Bon Odori originates from the story of Maha Maudgalyayana (nice name), a disciple of Buddha, who has supernatural abilities (while meditating) to look upon his deceased mother. He discovered that she had fallen into the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and was suffering (Notice how similar it is to Hungry Ghost Festival which is also on the 7th month of the calender). Any food that she touches burst into flames. Disturbed, he went to the Buddha and asked how he could release his mother from this realm. Buddha instructed him to make offerings to the many Buddhist monks who had just completed their summer retreat, on the fifteenth day of the seven month (Notice the seventh month again). T...

Recently I noticed there was this banner and TV ads that displayed "Janji Ditepati" in other words "Promises Kept" in English. Is it me or is the whole picture shaped like Africa continent to you? This could only mean one thing - Election is coming and Barisan Nasional (BN) (current government) is trying to tell us that they promise what they said during last elections. However, come to think of it, correct me if I'm wrong, in Malaysia you cannot promote political parties campaign if the Parliament still have not dissolve and clearly this was one of them BN promises showing around... Worse part? It's related to 1Malaysia concept. This guy below once said 1Malaysia concept is not a politics bla bla bla Well, you get the idea.... But now... I can see it everywhere... Even in across my uni there's one big board saying that. What do you think? Is it really a political tactics? Is election coming anytime in 3 months? Hmmm???

For over a year now, I have been listening to this song over and over again. Funny thing is I cannot get tired of this song. It's just so soothing, so I thought, hey, in the heck of study week I'll just put this up again for those of you to enjoy this song again. There is a part of the lyrics I seriously like it though. Enjoy! If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby The sharp knife of a short life Well, I've had just enough time If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song The sharp knife of a short life Well, I've had just enough time ...

I recently celebrated my 51st time sitting 8-9 hours bus from my uni to home town, so I thought I can share experiences with you guys. How you know it's 51st time?? Well, here's the formula for counting how many times you sit in the bus f(x) = {x*2+[(y*t)/(2*pi)] + exp 2.5x^2}+ z. Got it? Neither do I. Anyway, every time I took a bus or rather you can say it's a coach, I notice some similar characters that you can categorise them. First I'll like to introduce the drivers. 1. The Honk These drivers are awesome. My usual buses back to Penang are 9pm, so I usually depart at 9, reach the bus stop around 9.15 waited for half an hour (sometimes more than an hour) before the bus arrives. It's really depressing though waiting for the bus, fearing it might not come. However, usually when you meet the Honk, the feeling rises again. These Honk, are cheer bringer, before even the bus stops, they are already shouting "Penang!! Penang!!". I could actually hear it lik...

Note: This is a unsupposed-to-release post. However due to my recent events, I decided to release it in remembrance of my creative father. "Ahhh~~ After today, then I'm down with one last paper." thought to myself the first thing I woke up today. "After these, I'll be able to accompany my mom visits to the hospital." Then went out, had a bath, called Jia Han up, had breakfast and get dressed. These were my usual routine for two semesters now and finally it's coming to the end of my first year. Today was my second to last final examination papers - Engineering Mechanics. Some say this papers is gonna be tough but I silently thought to myself, I'm a Form 6 Physics student its to my advantage, plus I had lots of revision with Jia Han before this including the one that involves Angry Birds. I depart for the Exam Hall with Jia Han early, though the weather is bright outside but the sun hasn't rise behind the hills yet. The paper starts at 9 in the...
