For this month, this movie suites me well enough ( i cannot think other movies title thou!) to represent my situations right now. After soo long i've been tried to evade my-sponsor-who-cannot-be-said, finally they cought me! I dont know how is this happens but for the third time I'm really hapless as they issued the-ultimate-and-undisputed letter that will sent my neck to a chopping block. Although im quite settle now, but they make me revisit back to the beginning of my diverge lane and choose the path that i didn't choose at the first place almost 6 months ago. Hard choice?? Yes! if it is involving hard-cold-cash but the difference is right now is the thickness of it. For sure i'm choose the thin one :P Although its not confirmed yet, but it is almost certain all this thing happens. I'm looking forward to face and solve it, cleaning my own mess and be one of my past history that will make me remember for the rest of my life.Wednesday January 2, 2008 - 02:06pm (SGT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Movie buff : Activated!

Once you like it, u never forget about it.. no matter how long u leave it... funny enough, it happens to me! once u are a movie buff.... u are always be, I admit that i'm a movie freak, way back since im soo called a student... if there is a new movie available in the cinema me and my house mate will drove all the way to Ipoh to watch it, sometimes there will be a movie marathon if there is more than one movie that seductive enough to watch based on the ratings and synopsis...
But now, after months leaving UTP and already forgot when my last time watching movie @ TGV Kinta City.... plus now im working 9 hours/day, 5 days/week... weekend is the only time i have to watch movies.... Luckily when u have partner to watch it with , its better than u watching alone and feel sometimes like urself a "looser" :P btw... great moments must be shared rite?....
The last movie that i watch is Bee Movie, the reason that i wanted to watch this movie is because the producer previously had produce Shrek, so i've expect that shrek kind of humor will appear to in this movie plus jerry seinfeld, reene zelweger and chris rock, this movie will be hilarious!
But.... it just so-so... it has moments of joke, but not enough to make remember what its all about... overall it ok, good movie and "adequate" sense of humor... suitable for family timeout or anyone who needs light humor....Let see how its gonna be with Enchanted that seems to be on top of IMDB this week... ;)Friday December 7, 2007 - 11:14am (SGT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Which one??

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost-
This poem, especially its last lines, where the narrator declares that taking the road "less traveled by... made all the difference," is often seen as a declaration of the importance of independence and personal freedom. However, Frost likely intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas , and seemed amused at the slightly "mischievous" misinterpretation. "The Road Not Taken" seems to illustrate that once one takes a certain road, there's no turning back, although one might change paths later on, they still can't change the past and it's too late. Although the traveler had taken a "less traveled" (meaning less popular) road, Frost mentions that the difference was negligible, and that his "passing there had worn them really about the same". This line is often misinterpreted by less than careful reading to mean that the roads were already worn the same, which is a misunderstanding of Frost's faintly archaic sentence structure. The second to last line directly states "I took the one less traveled by,". In the end the poem is actually the thoughts of the traveler, reminiscing on a choice he had made, wondering if it was the right one, knowing that that one choice "made all the difference."

Well.... I think this poem suits me well for the past few weeks (and couples of weeks in future, perhaps...) The reality is life is harder than you think... Hope I will take the best road for me to travel.
