The Chamber of Horrors

What is with all those horrror movies that has been hitting our shores these days?

Don't get me wrong my dear horror buffs out there. I am a horror fan myself but of late I think it is getting a bit ridiculous with all the horror stuffs bombarding the cinemas! Some of them are so lame, pure irritating and dumb!! So I understand that everyone is trying to make a fast buck from it but even so pleeeaaassee... at least come up with something that is watchable. A horror movie is supposed to make the audience feel scare but alas.. some of them actually are so freaking bad that you end up laughing!!

Back in th 1980s we had classic stuffs like Evil Dead, Firestarter, Swamp Thing, Children of The Corn, The Blob etc. Present day we are fed with all kinds of "slasher" movies like "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Final Destination" a lots more. Some of them are pretty gory, full of blood and guts spilling out! There are still of course the genuine horror movie (based on true happenings) like "An American Haunting", "Exorcist" and "Omen 666"

Locally, we have some that is real good like "Jangan Pandang Belakang" and...?That's all I can think of...Pontianak Sundal Harum was alright and the latest "Waris Jaris Hantu"was a huge disappointment.

Credits to the Japanese and the Thais. They are a spot above us in many ways. Erm the Koreans are so so lah..better than the local one but really I think some of it are damn stupid and silly...imagine killer wig, killer phone! My god what will they think of next...killer thongs, bras or killer "pigs" hahaha such joy!!

Coming soon it's gonna be another one of them:"30 Days of Night". Oh..the British production "The Descent" was fabalous I thought. Must give credit when it's due.

But still...give me a break!

Let's be more hilarious here.....

Malaysians..bah!

Hello people! Boy, the weekend really sucks! Here I was stuck at home so I thought I will go out to the wet market at Section 17 and grab some fresh meat and vege. I was full of zest cos that was one of earliest time I woke up on a weekend...sigh. I know I know....it happens to you too huh. Well, what transpired in a mere 1 hour that morning left me fuming and cursing the whole bloody day!!

So I started my car, got it out from the 5th floor parking and headed towards the guard house only to realise that I left the tag at home. Waited for the guard to open the god damn thing so that I can go out...and guess what he stood there stared at me blindly for a few seconds and motioned me to wind down the window and rudely ask me..."mana mau pergi"? I was like huh..what the hell you are talking about? Of course I want to go outlah dumb fuck...stupid or what? (I didn't say that to him) so I politely replied...

Me : "saya mau keluar tapi tag dekat rumah"

Spastic Guard : "mana mari, mana tag"

Me : "mau keluarlah...tag tak ada, boleh kasi nak itu tiang"

Spastic Guard : "mana mari, mana tag"

By then my temper was really up to my head. Making it worst the car behind me was honking like fuck shit! Bloody man and his dumb wife! And so I got down from the car, went over to the dumb guard and said...

Me : "oui bang, boleh buka itu tiang, saya punya tag dekat atas"

Spastic Guard : "mana mari, mana tag"

I think by then the other guard on duty knew that I was pissed and he apologised and duly open the tiang. The spastic could have apologise and told me what his problems was but he didn't. The words from my mouth was filthier than the rubbish dump. How could they possibly employ somewhat like that?? Guard you know..guard that is suppose to protect us!!#$*&%^>.

Ok so I was finally on my way after 15 minutes. Then came the 2nd part. As I was waiting to turn out to the main road out came this blue Datsun 120Y from nowhere, jumped que and cut in with no signal or anything. I was once again tested...and saying to myself loudly..."lu punya bapak punya jalan ar pundek"! Fine...nothing much I could do except honk. Moving on to LDP
driving on the outer lane...as always infront of me a nice sedan car neither on the left nor right driving as if their car is the only car on the highway! I flashed, I honked, I raised my hands all sorts..they didn't move at all. Blast them(just two people) so i accelerated past them stared at them and guess what...it was two middle aged ladies (like those "tai-tai" typelah) talking, laughing without giving a hoot who was behind them! After half an hour on the road I wanted to turn back and head home.

Reached the market, couldn't find a parking, waited for few minutes, saw a car wanted to come out and straightaway put up my indicator...I bet you all out there can figure out what happened next...sigh

What is wrong with Malaysians out there? There have no bloody manners and etiquette at all, be anywhere, in restaurant eating with the mouth open widely and chowing their food nosily and greedily like hogs upon realease from the den! Not queing up...excuse are they are in a hurry. Well ma'am so am i and the rest of the 4.5 million damn you! The aunties are the worst...they just pretend they don't hear you or they don't know. Jesus, I hope my aunties and those aunties I know are not one of them!!

Ha...during festive season when the ministers have their "Open House" I can guarantee you will see the worst side of them. All ready with their tupperwares and containers ready to pack home!! Tsk tsk tsk...hello tak pernah makan ke, tak pergi sekolahke...mak tak ajar bersopan santunnya!!

And that is just a mere half of it, not fogetting those at the service counters all across the country that are not smiling, not being polite, never say thank you when it is necessary

Cruising for bruising idiots.

I am totally mortified by them...

There you go....all I have on Bali. Some of the pictures was accidentally deleted from the camera...bollocks!

Could have taken more but the god damn tour guide kept on chasing us to get on the van and impatiently reminded us that there are a few more places to go. Oh...there were only 4 of us in the van. "Kentut"..aha..that's the name of the guide and the driver..can't remember what's his name but he was a really sweet fella. He ran over a chicken in Ubud!! So throughout the fews day you call hear us calling "tut" everywhere we go...

Food in Bali is good...."Babi Guling" was so so..our roast pig much tastier. Not much of beef served as it is a Hindu state.

The rest are all in normal prints. Come to think of it, I could have taken more than 10 rolls just for a 4 days 3 nights stay and it bloody blew a huge hole in my wallet developing them.

Why not use digital camera? Hmm...it broke down on me halfway. All these gadgets..they are either breaking up for no apparent reason, the cap to the batteries holder not tight enough, memory exceededlah....absolutely nonsense!

Call me old fashion or whatever, films still the best..yeah it might turn colour few years later but heck then just take it as a sepia tone or special effect pictures. Now that's cool...no?

Are you in love with Bali yet? So waiting for what...Air Aisa is cheap man!

About me..so far

It is 8.00pm now...raining terribly outside and I am sitting infront of my computer now thinking of what happened today. Oh..what happened?

Currently attached to an advertising company...wondering whether am I in a wrong place, wrong line etc? By nature I am a very hot temper person. The hottest in town if not Kelana Square! Sure...I make decision on impulse without thinking about the consequences. The after effect of that sometimes will takes its toll on me where the regrets will seep in.

In October, I will reach a certain age that perhaps I am not wanted anymore. And I am definitely feeling the pressure. Nah...I am not that old really. No luck in relationship yet....is it just me or is everything shit? Yeah..still waiting for the right one but when..only the almighty know. Gosh...when? On my gold anniversary?

Born and raised locally...can't really remember about my childhood days. I was told that I was not a very pleasant child. I was always crying for some reason or so. Hmmm...perhaps that is where the coldness in me came from.

My grandma took care of me when I was a kid. Stayed with them for awhile. Had 3 uncles and 3 aunties then in the whole house. Back then my uncles will be watching football all night long. Oh..they are Liverpool supporters...shucks. As I grow older I was hooked and now an ardent fan of the Red Devils. League Champion....too bad Gerard!!! Old Trafford rocks....Anfield rock bottom ha ha.

I am a loner by nature. Love to be by myself at certain times to do my own stuffs, reading, listening to music, writing and taking pictures along the way. My tendency to become angry has in some ways cost me a few very close friends indeed. Easily short fused and irritable as it comes but also easlity calm as and when it is over. I could be a bitch at times but I can also be someone "bestest" friend. Often I am misunderstood and misinterpreted...that's life. The problem with me is sometimes I think I am too lenient to others and thus this create another predicament for me...I can't seems to say "No"!! I hate to be pushed to the extreme and be accused...because I will kill you!

Given another chance in life all over again I would definitely want to be a war photographer, secondly, a fantastic cook and a tasteful food connoisseur...an expert, especially on the fine arts of taste. That will be grand! Food..the first enjoyment of life.

Ho ho ho.....have a good weekend babes!!

Bali: The beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon keep their diary..

Travelling...an experience we shall always remember, or an experience which, alas, we shall never forget.

Be it anywhere, travelling is the best way to see the world. Either you do it the luxurious way or the affordable way...even back packing ain't that bad you know if you have the right companies.

Ah, voyaging, globe-trotting, sight-seeing...whatever we call it..it is one of the favourite hobby amongst millions of people. There are bound to be 1 at least in the family who travels extensively. I used to be one of them. Due to work commitments and expensive airfares travelling has taken a back seat this past years or so.

My last trip was to Bali way back in January. I never like the Indonesian here but I was totally charmed by them in their own country and overwhelmed by their politeness. Every corner I went I was called “Ibu”. Damn…do I look that old???. No really…that is the Indonesian way of addressing the ladies. The men will be called “Bapak”. Cool ain’t it..unlike some of our fellow country men whom has this tendency of bellowing to each other “Engkau” “Aku” “Kau"!!

Denpasar, capital city of Bali is full of zest. The moment you set foot at the Ngura Rai Airport you could just smell the different scent.

Arriving at Bali Hai Resort was a welcoming and refreshing sight after a tired day…couldn’t see much of Denpasar then as it was rather late after dinner. Headed straight to the shower and started drinking at the balcony. I could feel the wonderful breeze and most exciting of all I can smell the sea or Davy Jones’s locker…the ocean “A highway between the doorways of the nations” Franklin Lane once quoted. Gosh…I can’t wait for morning to come to catch the glittering sunrise and the hopefully never ending sunset!

Balinese are religious lot….they pray on time and on most roads there are offerings for the Gods. Sweet smelling incense and flowers scattered around. We were advised not to step on any of them as it is sacred. The Balinese considered the Hindu Gods the almighty and thus the utmost devotion. Statues are everywhere and they are a sight to behold. With over 20,000 temples and palaces in stunning location where you can encounter people whose mystical ways are enriched by a gentle and gracious culture, Bali is the “Morning of The World” no doubt.

From Tanah Lot for the Royal Taman Ayun Temple built in the 16th century, Bali is so picturesque that you could be fooled in to thinking that it was a painted backdrop: rice paddies trip down hill sides like great steps, volcanoes soar through the clouds and beaches lapped by the warm water of the Indian Ocean.

Wow...Bali is "A fool's paradise in waiting... "

Flowers And Gardens: "The Sweetest Thing God Ever Made And Forgot To Put A Soul Into"

Flowers: Heaven's Master Piece. That I will definitely vouch for it. From the blazing sunflower, elegant orchid, dotting daisy and the sweet smelling roses it is one of God's greatest creation on earth.

There are more than 1000 species of flowers than can be found around the world. And each and everyone of them represent different smell and meaning. Fresh and I was in love with the roses in my younger days and of late I am very smittened by the Dutch national flower, Tulips.

Honeysuckle, Queens Anne's lace, Lily of the Valley....uncountables! Which are your favourites? Can't make up your mind....it's hard to wonder why. Flowers...hmmm the ladies love it. I love it when I receive flowers. Best gift ever for a woman. My mum, she grows orchids..it is her first love. I remember when we were younger in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, mum grew lots of orchids and other flowers and she dedicated most of her free time dotting on her passion. For mum it was the purest of human pleasure attending to her beloved flowers in her garden. Be it a vegetable or flower garden it makes no difference.

My late grandma loved chrysanthemum especially the white and yellow ones. Being a staunch Buddhist, she will never fail to have freshly bought chrysanthemums on the altar for any of the Chinese festival....same goes for my mum, aunties...the elderlylah.

Gardens...plenty of them in Malaysia but alas these so called gardens are not very well kept unlike those in foreign countries especially those with 4 seasons. Here...don't even bother going. Grasses are not cut, not much to see in term of flowers selection...always just the Bunga Raya. Ya ya ya I know...it is our national flower...ar so? Worst...our gardens you will get to see plenty of rubbish strewn everywhere....hey that is not part of the scenery you know! So why bother going in the first place....our weather is so damn freaking hot! No winter, spring, autumn.....

The last time I saw a real pretty garden was in Den Haag, Holland and being the recent one was in Beijing, China. There were all types of flowers here, there and everywhere.....the whole garden itself was just beautiful and out of sight! It is fantastically breathtaking and picturesque! I would die for it everyday. Also it is "the best place to seek God....you can dig for Him there". You don't see no rubbish anywhere, grass are finely cut and I swear the place smell so good you know...hmm unlike back here. Take heart people..

Luxury is seen everyday in my garden of eternal bliss....

Confidence, Courage, Faith....

All about mental toughness, faith: of backbone, spine and nerve. When do we actually need all the three....?

As and when we require them I supposed. But often when it is needed it seems to desert us...or do we choose not to have them ourselves? Ask anyone and I believe they will tell you at times when we are down to our lowest grip and point on life we loses all of them at one go!

I give you an example. Last year around this time of the year my dad as taken ill..seriously ill. He has lung cancer and he was suffering alot. I was attached to one of the ad agency in PJ. The lady boss was worst than the one in "Devil Wears Prada" and I was terrified of her. My confidence, self worth and "gunghoness" were in utter tatters! Whatever I did there was absolutely wrong, not up to her requirements etc. Worst to come...my dad was pulling away further from all of us. I walked out of the job and for the next 2 months I was at my lowest in everything around me. I could not find a job after dozens of interviews, my bank account was drying up and my father was dying.

When my father died that was it for me. I went into seclusion. Not wanting to see or have anything to do with anyone. I lost my confidence, courage and belief in whatever I believed in. I believed in GOD but in the end he took my dad away no matter how much I prayed for him.

In life, we need to have confidence, courage and belief otherwise we will end up being a nobody. We need confidence to carry us up in our daily life(yes even for a good presentation!) We need courage to make certain decisions that perhaps one day will change the course of our life. We need to belief in something in order for us to achieve our goals. We need to belief in ourselves and even in relationship. Trust within each other.

That is what our backbone, spine and nerve are for.......

Moody Blues

Another new work day....surrounded by millions of people but I am still alive after God forgot to turn off his tap during the weekend.

What do all of us have in common? Every god damn thing....stress, bills to pay off, love-hate-relationships and gossips. Gossips is everywhere. It is in the office, in the eatery, over the phone while you are driving or even at home. The next time you go for lunch look around you, hold your tongue and listen carefully. Tete-a tete about work, the bosses, boyfriends and colleagues and currently poor Paris Hilton and perhaps that English chap, Lewis Hamilton. Look who is flying now? Ain't no "Flyin Finn"......look ma it's the "Flyin Brit"!! What has he got that Kimi don't? Figure it out dudes!

And they say gossiping is healthy...sigh

Summer of June

Hot air of summer is here....not that we have any choices to choose from really. How pathetic......its super freaking hot in the day and it then one minute it will be pouring cats and dogs!!

Thank God its Friday you were saying...bullshit! Today was not a normal Friday! We had to do a God damn presentation internally in the office! Because of that the last few days were hell...preparations, memorising words, facial expressions....oh so bitch time consuming.

It turned well seriously...I mean seeing the girls presenting for the first time. Alexia was good and had this twang and slang on her. Wan Lee...our new copywriter was cool from the start...no preparation at all. Me...hmmm no comments! The moment James started "tink tink tink" I was side tracked!! Thank you!

Audrey, the Creative Head..have to take my hats for her! She came in with a full power point presentation. Nico...good try without referring to her notes. The trainee Yit Mei...fu-yoh yoh....multiples salutes to her! No preparations at all! I mean here we were for the past few days prancing around like chickens without heads....she was like a pro!! With her smattering English where climbing mountains became "crambing mountains" gosh...it's hard not to laugh especially when you have Alexia sitting next to you! Then came the singing part...."Astro Talent Search"... I am sorry, bloody sorry but I just cant control myself....shut up I am trying not to laugh! She can goyang some more...and I think she was struggling with the high notes! Oh...i think it was something from NKTOB!!(David told me). The wonderful thing is while doing that she did not even bat a single eyelid of hers! Screw all your laughing man. Definitely an eye opener!! Well done Yit Mei!!

David, though abit lengthy but was able to talk about his passion. Kelly aka Ms Chen..she will be be a "Superstar" one day. Cant wait to hear here sing to us. Lastly, Kopi Queen Yuki...thunderous applause for her!

Good job people...I love you guys! I only wish PohYe was around....that will be absolutely fun!!

Well...an eventful Friday. Oh yes...and the bosses recorded the entire presentation...sigh.

isshh...just saw my own presentation on video...I was standing senget bengetlah...damn
