Ego Makes It, Ego Breaks It

~ * COUGH COUGH * Please lah watch the video before reading... 1 minute only mah ~

This is an LOL scene

2 cops (The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson)

Chasing a group of robbers

Which led them to the rooftop of a 15-storey building

The robbers escape using a device similar to a flying-fox and destroys it after that

The 2 cops took the fastest way down

Which is jumping straight off the roof

Apparently aiming for the bushes to break their fall and continue their pursuit

They landed on concrete

With bushes nowhere to be seen

(Even if there were bushes, they actually think it could break their fall? Gosh~)

Ego makes it

Ego even breaks it

Ego is a form of over-confidence

In the movie they were 2 very successful cops

They thought they were larger than life and nothing is impossible for them

They thought that they could jump from 15 storeys landing unharmed

That's how big their ego is

We all have egos

Mine is pretty big I admit

If egos are used correctly

One could be damn good

But this video shows what ego causes if it was applied incorrectly

Ego could kill

So

Calm your egos when needed

P/S: Just in case if you're wondering, The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson actually died right there in this movie. The very next scene after this is their funeral. This happened barely half an hour into the movie. The movie -- 'The Other Guys'

Fast Five

During my journey home after watching this movie

I noticed that my average speed went up by 5 km/h

Yes I inadvertently drove faster on the way back

Movies do have an effect on our lives

All I can say is that this is an action-packed movie

With it's fair share of comedics as well

And no lack of star power

Those names on the above poster says it all

Not gonna be a spoiler here

But remember to stay till the very end

Don't leave during the credits

There's something after that

Fast 5

In cinemas starting 5-5

It rose my average speed by 5 km/h

So I have to give it a rating of 5 out of 5 (By the way I seriously mean this rating)

Friendster Version 2.0?

Prepare yourselves for a journey through the time machine

Because this blog post is about...

Friendster

The granny of social networking sites

N years ago

Before the emergence of Facebook

Friendster was the first social networking site for most of us

We add friends

We share photos

We post comments

We stalk people

We meet new friends

It was until Facebook arrived on the scene

That we turned our backs against Friendster

Now

Lots of people still have their Friendster accounts

But how many still remember they do?

Truly

The emergence of Facebook gave Friendster a sucker punch

It was until days ago that I came across the news of Friendster undergoing a revamp

Friendster is evolving to escape Facebook's shadow

The new Friendster would remove photo albums and comments from it's services

And focus on games

Hence users would have to save their pictures, comments, and profiles

To avoid losing it

You can read the news here

Luckily

There's an app called 'Friendster Exporter' that could allow me to download my full profile easily

And I did so

I re-read those messages dated way back to 2007

Brought back some memories indeed

You can download your Friendster profile here

While the old Friendster has became an afterthought

Hopefully the new Friendster could breath new life into it

I'm wondering how the new Friendster would look like

Will we all give it a second chance?

Will we see people coming back to Friendster?

Let's wait and see

Helpful Q&As here

Counter-terrorists Win!

"Terrorists win!"

That was something I liked to hear

While I'm playing Counter Strike

Because I always join the terrorist force

Be the bad guys

But in real life

"Counter-terrorists win!"

Is what we all want to hear

Osama bin Laden

Number One on the Wanted Persons list

Numero Uno terrorist in the world

Leader of al-Qaeda

Was shot dead by the US army

In Pakistan yesterday

"Enemy Down!"

Almost 10 years after the 911 attacks and huntings for him began

Justice has been done

But somehow

The hype and ecstasy wasn't as great as I expected

At least on Facebook it seems so

I was expecting much more status updates about the killing

It turned out to be much lesser than I anticipated

For those who did have status updates about the killing

I noticed that they are mostly from people of my age or older than me

Only then I realize that 911 happened 10 years ago

People of a younger age were too young at that time for 911 to have a significance to them

So they don't know how 'big' and important the killing of Osama is

Even I was only 11 when it happened

But I do feel the significance of the event

And I'm one of the millions around the world who are happy to hear the news of victory against terrorism

Hopefully

This would be the beginning of the end of al-Qaeda

More importantly

This is a triumph of good over evil

An important victory in the war against terrorism

我对你，只有放弃，没有忘记。

Obviously this wasn't written by me

But I feel it's nice

So I shall share it

And it could mean a thing or two...

很偶尔的，我们会联系，还是会挑拨我的心弦。只是，我也学会对你伪装了，不冷不热，不咸不淡，笑得没心没肺，也不会再流那廉价的眼泪了。

总要等到过了很久，总要等退无可退，才知道我们曾亲手舍弃的东西，在后来的日子里，再也遇不到了。

我还能够说些什么？我还能够做些什么？我好希望你会听见，因为爱你，我让你走了。

再见了，我那么那么爱你，虽然笨拙，但也努力做了好多，所以我不遗憾了。现在，我把爱情还给你，你把我仅有的一点点骄傲还给我。

我还是会相信爱情，只是不会再相信爱情能永远。

我们相识的时间能够以年计算了，你找到了你爱的，而我，还在原地徘徊着。

我们再也不会像以前那样，以彼此为不可替代；我们再也不会像以前那样，那样用力的爱，直到哭了出来。

陪你走完这一段路，你也变成我路过的路。

我知道，忘记是件轻松的事情，只要不看着，不想着，不记着，就忘记了，就像，烟火过后的天空。

望穿流年，我相信你真的爱过我，就像我当初真的为了你，可生可死。

让我站在心碎的地方，轻轻打一个结，一种缝补，阻止伤痛再流出。

一直股指的以为面对什么事情我都能够坦然的微笑，可是，终于在你转身决定离去的一刹那，我泪如泉涌，不可抑制。这是，过往的幸福嘲笑着心中的疼痛，原来，世界上最痛的痛是你的离开。

我赢了所有人，却输掉了你。

有天当你想起我，时间已摆平所有的错，也学会不再问为什么。直到有一天，面对爱情开始吝啬，会不会怀念当初的炙热？一路上经过各自曲折，直到有一天，选某个人相濡以沫。

你唯一没做好的事，是和我在一起。我唯一没有做好的事，是没能留住你。

也许当看破一切的时候，能知道，可能失去比拥有更踏实。

似乎等待了一百年，忽然明白，即使再见面，也许成熟的表演，不如不见。

忘记你，不如忘记自己，告诉自己，不是怕你忘记，而是怕有一天再把你记起。岁月带走的是记忆，但回忆会越来越清晰。

以后再也不会奋不顾身的去爱一个人了，哪怕是你。

安慰自己，没有什么忘不了的，总会在以后的时间忘了你，先忘了你的样子，再忘了你的声音，忘了你说过的话，现在不行，以后也可以。

我心里一直有你，只是以后会变而已。

现在终于到了要分别的时候，你比我先走，我反而觉得有点欣慰。这样的悲伤，迟早会让我们其中一个人单独体会，就让我来承担好了。

分手后，我还认识你，不过不再想见你，你过的好，我不会祝福你，你过的不好，我也不会嘲笑你，因为我们从此陌生，你的世界不再有我，我的世界不再有你。

我不能再珍惜你，抱歉，我失去的，也是你失去的。

我们都这样离散在岁月的风里，回过头去，却看不到曾经在一起的痕迹，尽管，曾今那么用力的在一起过。

这次的爱，我无法轻描淡写。

总以为，在最初的地方，有一个最原来的我，就也会有一个最原来的你。

是你变了心，还是白天黑夜交换了时差？

我住在这个伤感的城市，没有你的城市我只是一个人独自，而你却依然存活的快活。

对于你，我只能以陌生人的身份去怀念。

等你有新欢了，我连旧爱都不是。

(只不过。你以后也只是换一个人，把以前我们做过的事情再做一遍而已。你做那些事情的时候，是不是会想起我。我也没有什么遗憾了，该陪你做的事情我都做了。没有做的事情我曾经努力过的去做，只不过你没有答应。)

也许有一天，你回头了，而我却早已，不在那个路口。

结局和过程都有了，再去纠缠，连自己都觉得贪婪。

不停的写日记，我不知道停不住的究竟是笔，还是记忆。

我们说好一起老去看细水长流，却将成为别人的某某。

藏在心底的话并不是故意要去隐瞒，只是并不是所有的疼痛都可以呐喊。

人这一辈子，真爱有几回，而后即便再有如何缱绻的爱情，终究不会再伤筋动骨。

我对你，只有放弃，没有忘记。

疯子？热忱？

收工近一个礼拜

回到过去懒散的生活

分享之前工作的点滴

参与幕后剧组

这是第一次

与之前在综艺节目做幕后相比

差别甚大

综艺节目在studio拍

工作时间定时

电视剧室内户外通吃

工作时间总超过12小时

开始工作时天还没亮

收工时天已暗

只欠没做通宵

与之前当演员相比

差别也甚大

演员只需要在有通告时开工

剧组则是天天开工

第一次做场记

有看到和学到东西

时时刻刻得跟着导演

从中看到导演如何排戏和拍戏

时时刻刻得看着小荧幕

从中看到演员如何演戏

这次的‘跟剧组到处跑’

跑到的地方都很陌生

都很远离我的comfort zone

我的comfort zone是巴生和Damansara一带

不知为何

当我到一个远离我的comfort zone的地方时

就会有一种莫名的不安全感

感觉上离我家很远

离我熟悉的环境很远

所看到的东西全是还没看过的

就是一种陌生感

Cheras

Kajang

Puchong

Ampang

Kuchai Lama

Pudu

Desa Petaling

Taman OUG

这是我随剧组所到的地方

都是之前没去过或去过不上3次的地方

现在

感觉上我真的是去过很多地方

-.-"

说真的

参与剧组的这两个礼拜

每天跑远路

而且每天最多只睡5个小时

很累很累

不过到头来

我问我自己

甘不甘愿？

甘愿

如果时光倒流我会不会做？

我会

曾有人对我说

做这一行全靠一份热忱

难道

这就是所谓的热忱？

What's Your Ace?

What's your ace?

To gamblers

Ace is the 'A' in a deck of cards

Double Ace is where you get triple the amount of your bet in a game of Blackjack

To tennis fans

Ace means a serve that is not returned by the opponent

Players with a strong serve are most likely to get aces

To me

Ace is my new phone

The Samsung Galaxy Ace

I joked that this phone is the product of Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone 4 having sex

Because it simply looked like the combination of those two phones

Some say it's an iPhone 4 wannabe

Whatever

My first phone was the Nokia 6020

It's as old a phone as you can think of

If you forgot those days when phones without Bluetooth existed

This is one of the phones that existed in that era

My second phone was the SE K810i

It's a phone with Cyber-shot

It's a 3G phone

It's a phone that everyone wanted back then

Then come my third and current phone

Samsung Galaxy Ace

A smartphone!

Yes I had to add an exclamation mark there

As I'm new to smartphones

So new that I don't really know how to use this phone at first

It's a big step up from my previous two phones okay?

Furthermore I'm no technology and gadget freak

And also I'm no longer 15 or 16

I'm 21 and am slower in learning than those early teens okay?

Well after several weeks of getting used to the phone

And all the touch-screen techs (yes touch-screen amazes me, still used to all those physical buttons)

I found the phone quite nice

Everything is good

Except the battery

Not saying the battery is terrible

But it's really weaker than average

Made me consider bringing the charger along wherever I go

This has never been the case with my previous phones

Samsung Galaxy Ace

Is as close as I can get to an iPhone

Forget iPhone

There are thousands of iPhone users walking down the street

I wanna be unique as I always do
