Soul Calibur IV

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away.
When the mirror crashed I called and turned to hear you say..
If only for today, I am not afraid.

Take my breath away ohhh...
Take my breath away

A cocos nucifera story

Yesterday I went to my grandma's place for lunch. After stuffing myself Gramps asked whether I was free.
I nodded and then she said, "Good. Now go do what you promised me last week."

Huh? What did I promise her last week? It then dawned upon me that on my way into the house I saw 3 fully-loaded gunny sacks. Inside those sacks were stuffed with... coconuts. Ah yes.. I had promised her the week before I'd help her open/crack/break/hack/dissect the coconuts. Right.

In my mind I was imagining I was as pro as the coconut-water seller at the stalls. 2 or 3 hacks with the parang on the coconut would do it. Easy job, there's no need to break a sweat.

So I asked for the proper utensils to get it over with. But I was shocked when Gramps handed me a rusty & chipped chopping knife instead of a sharp parang. "What happened to the parang?", I asked her. She replied, "What parang? I never had any parang."

Ok... this might take a while, I thought.

I grabbed a gunny sack and took out a green coconut. Then I must've stared at the coconut for 5 minutes before asking my grandma, "Er... Gramps, how to open ah?"

She laughed and asked me to hold the coconut in a slanting position. Then I'd to hack the skin until I could see the tempurung. After that, make a small hole on the tempurung and pour the water out.

Oh... no problem. Got it. Simple.

So I did as instructed, it was anything but easy. After an hour, I had bruised my 5 fingers and suffered a cut on my thumb, but I managed to finish... one sack.
There were 2 sacks to go.

Gramps took pity on me and asked me to call it a day. Phew, I was relieved.

After that she said, "Continue next week". Great.

Malaysia Boleh.... kena bolos

I've watched both of Malaysia's games in the Asian football Cup, and man I've gotta say Malaysia boleh!!

Get whacked, that is.

Our national team has been trashed by China 5-1, and yesterday's match with Uzbekistan saw us getting 5-0. Seems that 5 is a lucky number in the national team, I'd say. Worse, we were playing on our home ground.

Sigh.... what has happened to the quality of Malaysia's football team? Ok, quality might be a strong word here.

Malaysia's players fail to show teamwork amongst themselves and each player just wanted to run forward with the ball towards the opponent's defenders like an idiot, even though they themselves know they can't go through the defence.

The few minutes of glory and the attention of the camera is enough for the player, 'Aku nak glamer jer!, Pi mampus la ngan team!'

Best thing was, what the commentator said after the China's game, 'Nasib baik golkeeper mampu menghalang gol yang ke-6'.
So then the previous 5 goals were ok la is it?

Great. This is the kind of spirit that we need. Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Looking at them reminds me how I played football with my friends during primary school. Standard 1, that is. Every kid just wanted to kick the ball even though the goal was the opposite side.

Lousy. I wonder how many goals will our national goalie let in against Iran this coming Wednesday?

Educational Decree 120: I Must Not Tell Lies

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Joanne Kathleen Rowling's 5th book of the Harry Potter series has been adapted into a movie. So how well did the movie fare compared to the book?

Despite nasty criticsms that I heard regarding the movie, I decided to go watch for myself to see how bad, er.. I mean how good it was. So I went for a midnight show last night and I came out confused on how to actually review the movie.

The movie started with the expectation that you've read the book, but if you haven't it might take you some time to figure out what the hell is actually going on. As it progressed suddenly the director/script writer expects you to be a noob and starts to deviate as he pleases.

There was a lack of some important elements, like Quidditch, Firenze just to name a few. Since the 3rd adaptation, the importance of Quidditch has been reduced to a very insignificant level. In the recent adaptation, there wasn't even the word 'Quidditch'.

There were certain deviations, and what's the guy's name? Ah yes, Daniel Radcliffe failed to portray the intense anger that Harry was supposed to feel, even after the death of Sirius. Hagrid's dragon meat was so small and it wasn't green, Robbie Coltrane didn't even dare to slap the meat on his face.
Ginny was virtually mute in the whole movie. Sigh...

However, the actresses portraying Luna Lovegood & Dolores Jane Umbridge respectively fit perfectly in their roles. They were able to carry their roles perfectly and were virtually similar to how they were described in the book. Tonks was alright too, despite her brief appearance in the movie.

The dialogues were taken directly from the book, so if you've read the book you'd know what they were going to say and maybe that can be used as a trick to impress some girls (if they were 'Harry Potter-illiterate')

The movie expects you to read the book before actually watching it, yet it disappoints you when you've read the book and compared it with the movie. Yes, I know that it's impossible to make a movie that follows the book closely, but the 1st & 2nd adaptations were good, compared to the later adaptations.

I won't say it's a good movie, but also I won't say it's bad.

Why so?

I must not tell lies.
