Kelantan Trip 2010

2010-03-18T15:52:00.004+08:00

The class trip to Kelantan was awesome! Not only did i get to spend time with my friends, and lecturer, i got to explore malaysia's finest traditional art and culture. The first thing that comes into my head about Kelantan is just some people living in a rural area, but when i got there, it was more than that. Yes its alot of rural people but, the way of living is more exciting and some what wilder than KL.
The first night we watched a main putri performance. Main putri is a healing ritual, healing in terms of the spirit not health. Basically a a tok putri will do a stylized movement and chants to heal a patient. A patient may suffer from lots of things such as the lost of angin and semangat, or even a daily life probelms. A main putri is performed for 4 hours a night and it may go on for 3 nights.
The second night we watched a wayang kulit performance ( Shadow Puppetery) . It is perfomed by a dalang, a dalang is a person who encapsulates a a story from life and performs them using puppets. Amazingly, the dalang that performed for us played 7 different characters at once. This dalang has been doing shadow puppetry for 30 years, and started at the age of 16.

For me the main putri performance is more intense than the wayng kulit because there were certain parts that had fast paced movements and heavy music. The serunai gives the intensity of the mood. Wayang kulit however is more relaxing as is is perfomed behind a white sheet/cloth. Usually a wayang kulit story consist of tales like the ramayana, but that night, the story was a bit different as the dalang add in some comical element.
But this trip was too short and im really looking forward for the next one, if there is a next one. So far i find kelantan very interesting and its a good getaway place from the city. I urge all of you to visit kelantan for a change, get out of your comfort zone and be adventerous.

PROJECT:DeClassified

2010-02-28T20:44:00.003+08:00

PROJECT: DeClassified is a devised performance created by the March '09 intake with the help of their lecturers over a period of 8 weeks. The devised performance consists of elements such as the newspaper's classified ads, the Over Head Projector, music, and many more. We spent a lot of time researching every detail of every ad and also exploring and incorporating it into movements and images. We voted on using “The Star” classifieds, 27 January, 2010, mainly because it was the most updated at the time of our research. We finally chose several interesting ads and turned them into performances through research like calling the sellers/employers. All our scripts are based on the real life interviews. Our explorations and process with the classified ads have helped us understand and identify the kind of society living in the Klang Valley. And through these performances we aim to show the audience how complex, interesting and diverse the truth and beauty of society is taken for granted in the daily classified ads.

East-Cost Holiday, Chinese new year 2010

2010-02-24T21:08:00.004+08:00

Hey there people, its been a while since my last post and i have to say, i ran out of stories and will to write my blog untill a recent memorable holiday which is the chinese new year. I had a one week break of college. Me and my family went on a trip to kuantan and terengganu. Kuantan is my hometown (kampong), and this would we my first trip to terengganu cause iv never been there. A few of my relatives are there.
We went to kuantan first for 2 days of the 5 day trip. We stayed at Swiss-Garden Resort, its a very lovely, elegant and peaceful resort. Me and my family went to the beach, swim in the pool, etc. I also visited my grandparents at their new home (which is very far from town). The reason they moved out is because the previous house was broken in-to many times.
The next day, we travelled to Kuala Terengganu and stayed there for 3 days. Before we got there, we stopped by a resort called Awana Kijal golf resort. That place caught my dad's attention because its a paradise heaven for golfers. He then immediately called my uncle and told him about the place and soon after he booked a golf set for them to play on the last day. Anyway back to terengganu, when we first reached there, we visited my cousin's place, and the house is like a mansion.
I can assume that he is one of the very few rich people living in a rural place. The fun was just about to get started, firstly with the nightlife, the restaurants there are amazing not just in terms of the food, but also the location of the restaurant, which is by the beach side.Amazing. The people there are much friendlier than KL people ( no offense). Terengganu is famous for its clothing design which is the batik. We visited alot of batik shops, well actually my parents did, i just tag along, and i have to admit, the designs were fasinating and it seems original in terms of their patterns.
We had a chance to visit the batik 'factory' called Noor Arfa. This is where they made batik from A-Z and we even get to see a bit of demonstration of batik making. My dad even got a couple of batik shirts for himself, even my mom didnt get one, surprising. We also had a chance to visit the famous masjid kristal (Crystal Mosque). It is located in the middle of the river and we had a cruise tour around the river. It is said that the mosque is made out of steel, concrite and crystal (the top part atleast). The Crystal shines at night and its a beautiful scene.
The east-cost trip ended at Awana Kijal wherby my dad and uncle stayed there just to play golf, we were supposedly to go back earlier. It was not so bad, the place was very nice, big, and lots of outdoor activity. The last few days was just a relaxing time for me as i get to explore the beach and the culture of terengganu.

Welcome 2010!!

2010-01-05T18:58:00.003+08:00

I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year, hope everyone had a great 2009. Whatever mistakes or wrong doings that we've done, we just have to learn from it and move on and focus on the future. A new year means new changes within yourself and the situation around us. This year will be a blast for football fans as the 2010 world cup is coming up! Some of you might have alot of new years resolution, some of you may not, but so far i only have 3:

1. Never commit to anything that you cant cope with

2. Try to keep my hair for as long as i can

3. Finish all assignments on time to avoid headaches and heartaches.

So stay safe, and have a good year ahead. CHEERS!!!!

Holiday In Korea (18.12.09-23.12.09)

2009-12-24T12:20:00.005+08:00

First of all i have to say, that this holiday trip is the best holiday i've ever had. Firstly its because i've never been to Korea, secondly, i enjoyed the weather there, -12 degrees winter time. I could just walk outside along the side road for hours without feeling tired and without breaking any sweat where as in Malaysia, i always sweat. It was a 6 days 4 nights trip, with 6 groups of family members.

Coincidently there was one family, apart from my cousin's family, who was from Kota Kemuning (the place where i live) was there too. I know one of the kid from the family, but i didnt know they were on the trip until i got to the airport and met them. Anyway, it was a 6 hours flight from KLIA to Inchion Airpot in Korea. The first thing i did when i landed was putting on my jacket and went outside to feel the cold weather, and it was really nice.

The first day was just basically getting to know each other, we introduced ourselves in the on the way to Seoul City. We had lunch at the Korean war museum, the restaurant was purposely located inside the museum for tourist to check it out. It was big, they had planes and guns exhibited there and some statues and what not. Shortly after that, we all went to the Blue House ( in USA it's white house), but we didnt exactly go in the house we just visited the park outside the Blue house.

The second day we went shopping in Myondong, the place is sort of like Bukit Bintang and the shopping malls are similar to Pavillion, Mid Valley, Etc. The shopping time was short because after that, we got out of the city and went to the Phoenix Ski Resort. I have to say, this was the highlight of the vacation, for the first time in 7 years, i had witnessed snow. It was a fun experienced. We went skiing for 3 hours from 8pm- 10 pm. Skiing is not as easy as i thought, it was very tiring and difficult to control and my legs were in pain. After a while i got use to it, but i still wasn't satisfied, because the timing was to short.

Then we visited some so call historic places in terms of film on the third day. The tour guide took us to 2 different shooting locations for the Winter Sonata series. The first was a market, i forgot the name of it. It's a simple market like petaling street, but the place was much better, cleaner and more lively. The second location was the Naminara Island, and boy i tell you, its a suitable place to have wedding, honeymoon and other romantic stuff because the Island was just so beautiful. No wonder Winter Sonata is a hit series there.

One thing that Korea is famous for is the food, in Malaysia the popular food is Nasi Lemak, in Korea the most popular food is KIMCHI. The tour Guide took us to a kimchi factory ( i couldn't remember which day), there we learn how to make kimchi, the easy way ofcourse. All we had to do was to put apply kimchi sauce onto a cut out cabbage and after that we ate some kimchi. We also tried on some Korean traditional clothes, im not sure what's it called but i think its something like kimono.

Eating here as a muslim was not that difficult as there are alot of Pakistan and Moroccan restaurant in the middle of Seoul city. The restaurants are located around the one and only Mosque in Seoul. The setting of the place is like amsterdam and it goes uphill. Surprisingly, i came across a shop that sells shisha pipes. One thing that was an inconvenience was the communication, not many local people there could speak English, but luckily we had a girl (one of our tour guides) who could speak Korean, and she's a Malaysian and she use to study there.

All in all, i can say that this is the best holiday vacation iv ever had, and im glad to be there and i really like the weather there, its something that you cant get in Malaysia. I enjoyed spending time with my family and i think this was the only time i get to enjoy my holiday, and after this is back to college and stuff. This is the one place where i shall visit again. Even though the trip was tiring but i had loads of fun.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

2009-12-04T23:06:00.002+08:00

3rd of december 2009 was the last day of my exam of the 2nd semester. After a long and hectic semester of classes and assignments, im finally free. Technically my exams were ongoing as i had to do video project, acting a scene from the script the crucible and creating a film script. So all i and my classmates had to do was to shoot, rehearse and write those respective assignments and just hand it/show it during the exam day.

Later at night the same day, me and my friends went to mos to celebrate. There was quite a number of us, and new comers in clubbing such as Gregory, Ju Er, Jewel and kevin was present. It was a memorable nite, we all had have, despite the earlier problems some of us had. Now, im looking forward for my holiday trip to korea.

Acoustic Night At Mardigras One Utama - 26.11.09

2009-11-27T21:36:00.007+08:00

Hey all, its been a while since i post anything here, maybe its cause of exams and stuff. Im in the midst of my final and i'm all stressed out. What better way to release stress by going out with your friends. Once again two of my classmates, Shah & Kevin, performed at Mardigras bar, and its my second time going there. This time it was only for acoustics.
As usual, the sound guy came late, they only started the sound check at 9 and the show is supposedly start at 9.30. No matter, i chilled at OU first, walk around, looking for my winter boots, cause im going to Korea at the end of this year. Then i meet up with my friends at Mardigras and we sat down and chill.
Apparently we were all tired that night so some of us look dead and pale, cause most of us had a shooting at college. I didnt feel like going at first, but since the next day was a public holiday (Raya Korban), i figiured i should let loose. Shah & Kevin was the 3rd to perform, and i have to be honest the band who performed before them was fucking boring. Shah's & Kevin's performance was ok, i think it would be could if the drummer was there.
After they performed, they left immediately because of a cerfuew, so i stayed there for a while. Then i remembered Liyana telling me that she was going to MOS that night, so i ring her and asked if i could join, she said yes. So i went to MOS, but sadly i couldn't get in for free so i had to pay RM40 for the cover charge.
I met some old friends at MOS, Irwan (King) and Jack, and they were celebrating their graduation. MOS was jammed packed that night and i couldn't even find a space to dance so i just chilled most of the time. If i wasn't tired, i would probably enjoy a 100%, but what to do i didnt plan on coming at first.

JOKES, funny, stupid, dirty, etc.

2009-11-15T21:06:00.002+08:00

BAR JOKE:
A guy came into a bar one day and said to the bartender, “Give me six double vodka.”
The barman says, “Wow! you must have had very bad day.”
“Yes, I’ve just found out my older brother is gay.”

The next day the same guy came into the bar and asked for the same drinks.
When the bartender asked what the problem was today the answer came back, “I’ve just found out that my younger brother is gay too!”

On the third day the guy came into the bar and ordered another six double vodkas.
The bartender said, “What the hell? Doesn’t anybody in your family like women?”

“Yes, my wife…”

WORST DAY:

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making guy steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man cry.”

“Today is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. I get a cab to return home, and when I get out of the cab, I forgot my wallet, cash and credit cards in the there. The cab driver just drives away.”

“When I get home, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”

BLACK EYES:

A man came to work on Monday morning with two black eyes. His boss asked what happened.

The man replied, “On Sunday, I was sitting behind a big woman at church. When we stood up to sing hymns, I noticed that her dress was caught in her butt crack, so I was trying to be nice and I pulled it out for her. Then, she turned around and punched me in the eye.”

The boss asked, “Okay, so where did you get the other shiner?”

“Well,” the man said, “I figured she didn’t want it out, so I pushed it back in.”

Farewell My seniors!!

2009-11-04T23:19:00.007+08:00

3rd November 2009, was the last day, the last moments and the last curtain call for the Graduating batch of March 2007 in the diploma of performing arts. The Roof Top Theatre of sunway college was the venue for their last gig before they part ways. Reuben, Khaz, Roger, Ping, June, Alou, Howard and Aaron performed their last show for us. It was the best performance ever, it was hilarious, spontaneous and very entertaining to watch. The audience were hypnotized and couldn't take their eyes of the performances. It was something to remember them by. Syok Sendiri, was the name of the show and i tell you, it was a whole lot of syok.

A combination of various exercises that they learnt were put together to produce a marvelous show, an imrov acting with some volunteers from the audience which makes them closer to the show, imitations of the lecturers made me laugh my ass off, a short joke every 10 minute from roger keeps us warmed up, Khaz's monologue got the ladies' amusement, and Howard's dancing made us wanna move.

The show lasted for 2 hours, but it didnt feel like 2 hours, it felt like an hour, and we wanted more from them when it ended. They finish off by doing a trade mark 'signing the attendece' which symbolizes their final dot in this course. It was a very memorable moment, and even though it was only for 2.5 years, but i feel that they have known each other for a long time, i feel that i had known them for more than a year.

Different feelings and emotions starts to flow out when the show ended. I went up to all of them and gave them a hug, and wish them luck for their future. Some of my friends were in tears, some were proud and sad for them, and it was a sad moment but i couldn't cry. All in all, me and my friends, and the March 08 batch will miss u guys. God luck and farewell March 07, and thanks for the great show!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Department Of Performance & Media (DPM) Video Shoot

2009-10-26T00:13:00.008+08:00

This weekend was the most busiest weekend for me and my fellow classmates in the DPM. We had a corporate video shoot for our department, and the purpose of this shoot is to promote the department to the public, and hopefully to attract people to join this course. The shoot was directed by Imri, one of our lecturers and he brought along his crew and equipments. The 'Host' for the video is Shah & Liyana, they of all people had pages of lines, so they are probably the most tiring person right now.

The first day was on the 24th (saturday) and the shoot started as early as 8 am, and they had a green screen set up outside the Roof Top Theatre (RTT) which was for a montage or something. It was really cool to see all the equipments live. The set up took quite sometime because they had to position the screen and the camera and microphone. Later during the day, we had some shots in the computer room, and the office. I had a small role with lines, and this shot took quite sometime because of the lighting adjustments. Then i was just an ensemble cast for the rest of the scene. The shoot didn't turn out like what i expected, it was really smooth with little mistakes. I thought temperatures was gonna boil.

The 2nd was on the 25th (sunday) and as usual we got up as early as 8 a.m to get ready in our costumes and make ups, while the crew were setting up the set. We were lucky today because we are ahead of schedule, a scene that was suppose to be shot today was already shot the day before, but nonetheless time is gold, none of us wasted anytime to shoot, we were all on standby for our respective scenes one hour before.

The 2nd day of shoot was more cheerful because we had a dancing scene, which is the first and last scene in the video. This shoot, took up more than an hour not just to shoot but to coordinate the moves to fit in front of the camera. Dalili the dance coordinator had a tough time sorting it out but in the end the scene went well and everyone was happy.

We also had a scene inside the RTT where we are showing how a play is done and how the actors prepare for a play i.e warm ups and rehearsals. This shoot didn't take long, and i think its the easiest shot of all. After all this is done, hopefully the video will turn out great and more people would be interested in joining this course. Ill post the video as soon as its ready.

Perbezaan DVD Original & Cetak Rompak

2009-10-19T18:26:00.009+08:00

Baru-baru ini Les' Copaque Production telahpun mengadakan sidang media tergempar berkaitan dengan DVD Cetak Rompak filem Geng :Pengembaraan Bermula yang telah berleluasa dijual. DVD yang mula dipasarkan sebelum curi Aidilfitri itu, telah mendapat sambutan yang sangat memberansangkan pada minggu-minggu awal sehingga telah membuat cetakan kedua untuk memenuhi permintaan pasaran. Namun begitu, setelah beberapa hari saja DVD tersebut berada dipasaran lintah darat cetak rompak ini telah mengambil peluang mengaut keuntungan jalan mudah dengan memasarkan DVD cetak rompak ini.

Ianya dijual dipasar malam termasuklah di kaki-kaki lima dengan kualiti gambar serta imej yang amat menyedihkan. Tidak cukup di situ, nampaknya filem ini juga tersebar secara haram melalui format digital di dalam internet yang menawarkan download secara percuma. Perkhidmatan download secara haram di laman web seperti torrent.jiwang.cc dan beberapa laman web lain telahpun dilaporkan kepada Cyber Security Malaysia untuk diambil tindakan.

Kemuncak permasalahn cetak rompak filem ini ialah setelah mendapat beberapa aduan mengenai cetak rompak yang seakan-akan cetakan asli. Cetak rompak yang mengamai cetakan asli yang juga dikenali sebagai counterfiet rupanya telah dijualan secara berleluasa termasuklah secara sah oleh pengedar dvd tempatan. DVD ini secara kasar sememangnya amat sukar dikenal pasti kerana kualiti cetak cover yang 80% seakan-akan yang asli. Ianya juga dijual dengan harga yang mahal yang bukan sahaja bertujuan mengaburi pembeli, malahan untuk mengaut untuk atas angin yang lebih besar. Harganya diturunkan sedikit iaitu di dalam lingkungan RM29.90 dan memberi alasan kehabisan poster. Les' Copaque Production mengambil langkah tegas dalam menangani isu cetak rompak ini kerana ianya akan mematikan industri perfileman negara.

Di bawah merupakan cara untuk mengenalpasti DVD cetak rompak dan asli:

1. Pelekat No Siri (Silver) KPDNKKWalaupun DVD Cetak Rompak counterfeit ini masih mempunyai pelekat no siri yang dikeluarkan oleh KPNDKK, tetapi sebenarnya pelekat yang digunakan sebenarnya tidak sah. Filem Geng menggunakan no siri yang bermula dengan huruf K, manakala counterfeit ini menggunakan no siri bermula dengan huruf H. Mengikut kajian, no siri ini sebenarnya merupakan pendaftaran untuk filem Hindi yang sepatutnya digunakan pada tahun 2005 dulu.

2. Sijil B (Cert B)

Pastikan pada DVD belakang ini mempunyai Cert B yang dikeluarkan oleh Finas. Sijil ini penting kerana pada sijil tersebut ada menulis tajuk filem dan butir-butir yang lain. Cetak rompak setakat ini tidak mampu menghasilkan sijil ini secara haram.

3. Perbezaan lain

Sebenarnya masih terdapat perbezaan lain yang boleh diambil kira. Perbezaan dari segi kualiti cetak pada cover yang agak kabur serta jenis disk yang berlainan juga dapat membezakan kedua-dua jenis cetakan ini. Namun oleh kerana agak sukar pembeli untuk membezakan dengan mata kasar, jadi cukuplah sekadar mengenalpasti dengan 2 perbezaan yang telah dinyatakan di atas.

Terima kasih kepada peminat yang telah mendapatkan cetakan asli DVD Geng Pengembaraan Bermula kerana tanpa sokongan anda pasti sambutan terhadap filem ini tidak seperti sekarang. Kami juga menyarankan kepada semua peminat agar lebih berhati-hati ketika cuba mendapatkan barangan asli keluaran kami.

To All Drivers, BEWARE!!!

2009-10-17T02:02:00.007+08:00

Today was the most tiring and weirdest day of my life. Firstly, i had class as usual from 11-1 and 2-5. After that, i went straight to the football field and kicked some balls. Then tonight is Luciano's 2nd party. He is my aerobics' instructor fyi and i was suppose to go with 2 of my friends, but it turns out that one of them told the other that i wasn't going, and so none of us went.

So i callled my college friend Shasha and asked her if she wanted to hang out, and she said yes, along with my classmate Ernest. So i met them at the Rock Cafe CC (Nearby sunway college) and surprisingly my other seniors were also there. So played Left 4 dead for a while. Then Ernest and Shasha went back to their condo to freshen up so i stayed at the CC for a while.

After i finished the game, i waited for them outside the condo, for around 30 minutes or so. I took of my seat belt and turned of my light for a while. Then they came down and we decided to go Canai @ 15. So i started to drive and not even half way there, a police car stopped me and told me to pull out by the side. Then one of the cops ordered me to come out of the car.

The Conversations were all translated:

Cop 1: Do you know what you've done wrong?

Me: Uuh, No sir i dont.

Cop 1: Well its not only 1 but 2 offences. Firstly u did not wear ur seat belt, and secondly u didnt turn on ur lights.

Me: Oh yeah, sorry i tottally forgot about it, im sorry sir.

Cop 2: Let me see ur license and registrations please.

Then i took out my licenses, i was quite shaky and nervous.

Cop2: see, you are still on a P license, didnt u learn anything in the academy?

Me: Yes sir i did, and this was a carless mistake sir, im sorry.

Cop 1: If i give u a summon ticket, your license will be stripped.

Me: oh no, im sorry, i didnt mean to do it, please i promise i wont do ot again.

Then there was a long pause, the second cop was writing down my details on a sheet of paper.

Cop 2: Where are you going?

Me: Oh im just going to ss15 for a dinner.

Cop 2: Are sure? Your not going to get drunk later?

Then i just shook my head and kept quiet.

Cop 1: Your P License is expiring in 2 years time, do you want me to give you a summon??

And then i thought to myself, was this a trick question??

Me: Ummm, i would prefer not. ( Then i started to bullshit him) Cause just now i had some problems with my friends in class, i quarreled with them and now im not really in a good mood, so everything is kinda affected. ( its was all bullshit)

Cop 1: Go ask that man ( he reffers to the 2nd cop)

Me: So sir, whats gonna happen now??

Cop 2: Well im gonna charge u with those 2 offenses.

Me: Oh please sir, give me a chance, i promise i wont do it again.

Then there was another long silent. He stared at me for a while, then he gave me back my license, and both of them drove off without giving any ticket or warning.

I was relieved when they let me go cause my heart was pumping as though i was running 100 meter. This is i life lesson to all u drivers out there, no matter who you are, what car your driving, what license are you holding, please obey the rules and regulations, cause the authorities are there for a reason.

He had the final touch after United defender Patrice Evra struck a left foot shot 2 minutes into added time. Sunderland forward Darren Bent had given the visitors a 7th minute lead with a crisp turn a low right foot shot past goalkeeper Ben Foster. Dimitar Berbatov then pulled an equalizer in the 51st minute with a bicycle kick before Kenwyne Jones headed sunderland back in front again.

The New Porsche Panamera

2009-10-03T19:45:00.007+08:00

The Porsche Panamera (Type number 970) is a four-door, four-seat luxury sedan, which was launched in 2009.^[1] It is front-engined with rear wheel drive, with a four-wheel drive version also available.

The Porsche Panamera production model was unveiled at the 13th Auto Shanghai International Automobile Show in Shanghai, China on April 2009.^[2The V8 normal-aspiration versions of the Panamera have rear-wheel drive as standard, while the Turbo version includes standard all-wheel drive with PTM (Porsche Traction Management). Currently, the engine choices include the base model S, 4S, and Turbo.^[3] US models include an engine start/stop system, and the Turbo version uses active aerodynamics with a multi-stage, adjustable rear spoiler.^[4]^]

The Panamera comes with the Porsche Traction Management, a fully-controlled, all-wheel drive system. PTM is standard on both the Panamera 4S and the Panamera Turbo. Optional Sports Chrono Packages include a Sport Plus button, which has tighter damping and air springs and drops the car body by 25 mm (0.98 in).

The final assembly of the vehicle takes place in Leipzig, Germany alongside the Cayenne.^[8]Stuttgart, and the car's painted body is built at the Volkswagen facility in Hannover. Engines are assembled in

The Panamera is generally considered to be the long-awaited fruit of Porsche's 989 concept from the late 1980s; some argue that it also presents itself as a successor to the 2-door 928, but there may be plans to develop a new 928 as well.^[9]

The Porsche Panamera is marketed as a direct competitor to automobiles such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte and Lamborghini Estoque. The Panamera may also be considered as a less expensive alternative to vehicles such as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG.

Production began in April 2009, one month after its debut in the Shanghai Motor Show in China. Porsche will keep production rate at around 20,000 cars per year

21 Guns

2009-09-28T01:43:00.004+08:00

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away and you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside,you're in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I ...

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass and the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last, you're in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I ...

Did you try to live on your own?
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died,you're in ruins

One, 21 Guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I ...

1st & 2nd day Of Hari Raya 2009

2009-09-22T01:59:00.010+08:00

"kriiiing" 'Kriiing" goes my alarm clock at 7 a.m on the first day of hari raya. It was quite odd because usually i would feel stuffed, but then felt hungry and i realized that the fasting month was over. I was excited to get on with my day, cause i know i can eat non-stop all day. The routine was the same for the past years on the first day of raya, i get up in the morning and get ready to go to the mosque to perform the Raya prayer. Then after i had finish the Raya prayer, i went back home, and have my first breakfast in a month. I had chicken rendang, lemang and nasi impit, and it was damn delicious. I never felt so thankful for quite some time, i guess this year's festive season is different from the previous ones.

After breakfast, me and my family headed to teluk panglima garang ( its somewhere in klang or further) to visit my late grandparent's grave, we have done it year after year without fail. The festive begins as soon as we arrived at the first house. Its also somewhere in klang and its my mom's step mom's house, i think. We did the usual stuff, talk, eat, gossiping etc. This also goes on to the other houses that we visited. Well all we did was mostly talk, gossip about people and such, its also kinda like a tradition that will never break.

The second day was a hectic day. Me and my whole family went to The historic city of Malacca. I have a grand uncle who has been living there for quite sometime. The trip from my house to malacca was suppose to be 3 hours, but because of the traffic congestion, we arrived 2 hours after the eta time. We were tired, frustrated, i was arguing wit my sis in the car, and it was only just the beginning of the trip. Thankfully everything was ok when we got there, we had lunch and rested for a while.

Then, we went to visit another relative's house, it was my mom's uncle, i guess. As usual, we talked alot, gossip about people and eat. what else is there to do when we visit people eh?. Then we had trouble finding our way around for dinner. At first we wanted to eat at a seafood restaurant at the Portuguese settlement, but we got lost in directions, we went around in circles, we even pass by the eye of malaysia ( the damn big ferris wheel). In the end we decided to eat at a nyonya restaurant at the equatorial hotel. Well i guess this year's raya is not that bad after all.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin

2009-09-19T12:43:00.007+08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to say that im sorry for all the things that i've done to hurt my family & friend's feelings. After all im just a human and humans make mistakes. Hopefully after this year's raya i would be a better person or at least try to be better than what i am now. Sadly this year i wont be able to go back to my hometown because i will be having class from the 4th of raya onwards, only my family will be going back, but no worries, i still have some friends around here to celebrate with.

I also cant wait to end the fasting month, alot of my usual activities have been put on hold for a month because of this such as working out and playing sports. I'm gonna live my life to the max after the fasting month. I also can't wait to eat all the delicious dishes that my mom is gonna cook on the day of raya, such as rendang, ketupat and lemang, but the dishes wouldn't be complete without the kuih raya (cookies). For me the kuih raya is like an appetizer, dessert and past time food.

Although i do not know most of the names, but i enjoy eating all of them, the kuih raya comes in all shapes, sizes and colours and very mouth watering. It also gives energy to your body, and you can last for a day by just eating a few pieces of it. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Getting Ready For The festive Season!!!

2009-09-05T12:50:00.009+08:00

The Hari Raya season is just around the corner and the fasting month is reaching its peak. As usual, most people would be packing their stuff a nite or 2 days before the festive season to head back to their respective hometown. This year will be different for me, cause my family wants to go back on the 4th day of Raya, and i might not be able to go back as i my classes will be commencing from the 4th of Raya onwards.

So i have thought of another way to celebrate Raya and enjoy going to classes at the same time. FIREWORKS!!! It has been 2 years since i last played or touched a firework. I'v just bought a few cool and "dangerous" Fireworks for me to get my mind of college. There are lots of different types of fireworks such as Thunder king, Thunder clap, Merdeka shot, fire ball and many more.

This is just the first stage for me to start my festive season as there will be alot more fireworks that ill purchase, a day before and after Hari Raya. Ofcourse i would not be playing it myself, ill invite my friends and family, and those who are not celebrating Raya at their hometown. Well Selamat Berpuasa and Selamat Hari Raya to all muslim citizens.. CHEERS!!

Sound And Image Class

2009-08-29T01:46:00.007+08:00

Sorry for the late update, iv been very busy during my semester break, rehearsing for a theatre show in KLPAC. Unfortunately i wasn't able to perform in the end cause i fell sick during tech week. I have started my second semester in college, im actually in the second week now. This new semester is very different from the first, i only have 5 subject and some of the classes are separated into 2 groups, cause some classes can't accommodate 27 people at once.

The subjects that im learning for this semester is Play & Screen Writing, Acting & Characterization, Script Analysis, Cinema Modernity & Montage and Sound & Image. I feel very lucky this semester because my lecturers are great people, 2 of them thought me last semester and the 3 of them are new. I was surprised

when i found out that a familiar face from the industry was going to teach me, she is one of the host of 3R, Rafidah Abullah, yes her, teaching me script analysis. Im always excited about her class cause i really learn alot from her, even just in the first class itself.

Then there is Azmyl Yunor, he teaches me Cinema Modernity & Montage. He is a music composer and a singer, well not a popular figure. He use to study in Australia and he pick up the guitar at the age of 18, and he sort of find his music by performing at the streets. He now always do shows at The Black Tie with his band, and today he performed for our class during a 10 minute break in class, and he was awesome. He can play a variety of songs. Ill also be looking forward for his future performances.

So far, the class that im enjoying the most right now is Sound & Image. Its a class where ill learn how to use the camera, how to shoot with 3 point lighting, etc. My recent in class assignment for the class was to bring a digital camera and to take photo's of architecture, portraits and objects. The lecturer ( Sow Yee) made me discover alot of things about my camera that i didn't know of before this. She taught me and my classmates how to use the functions in the camera such as iso, aperture, white balance and focusing. At first i thought only the DSLR camera has these kind of functions, but i was wrong. I enjoyed taking alot of photos and some of them were really good

compared to the pictures iv taken before this. So here are some photos that iv taken. Well Thats all for now. CHEERS!!!

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead!!

2009-06-18T22:01:00.000+08:00

To all you theatre and drama lovers, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) is having a new show called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead (R&G), perform by the Thatre for young people (T4YP) 2009 group. Directed by Christopher Ling, R&G is a comedy that centres on two bewildered minor characters from Shakespeare's tragic tale of Hamlet. They are thrust centre stage and given the chance to finally take lead roles in this fabulously inventive take on Hamlet.

But R&G do so in a world where reality and illusion intermingle, and where fate leads the two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end. Unaware of the roles in the much bigger picture Hamlet, R&G get themselves into hilarious situations. Although the play is primarily a comedy, they constantly stumble upon philosophical truths in the midst of the ludicrous ramblings.

Enough of the explanation, if you want to know more about R&G, go watch it at Pentas 2, KLPAC (Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan off Jalan Ipoh), at these times and dates:

18th-20th June: 8.30pm
21st-22nd June: 3.00pm & 8.30pm

Tickets are priced at RM25 and Rm15 ( for students, senior citizens, and disabled)

From Carlo to Carlos... COME AND JOIN THE BLUES

2009-06-17T22:32:00.000+08:00

LONDON: Carlo Ancelotti has made a dramatic attempt to win the race to sign Carlos Tevez by telephoning him personally. The new Chelsea manager called Tevez after obtaining his number from the striker's Argentina colleague Hernan Crespo and stressed he sees him as an integral part of his plans.

Crespo who worked with Ancelotti when loaned by Chelsea to Milan 4 years ago, helped the italian make contact with Tevez and it is believed they spoke on sunday. Ancelotti is spreading his net as far as possible in the hope of securing players to strengthen the squad he inherits at the start of next month and sees Tevez, who has been frustrated by a lack of games at Manchester United, as a key element in the changes.

Kaka, David Villa and Frank Ribery topped Chelsea's list of transfer targets but Kaka has gone to Real Madrid and the other 2 are likely to follow, even if Chelsea remain determined to lure Ribery from Bayern Munich. Sergio Aguero is another player under consideration, with talks having taken place with representatives for the Atletico Madrid striker.

Manchester City remain the most likely destination for Tevez, who is available for 25million euro (RM132 Million) when his loan deal at old trafford finishes at the end of this month. Ancelotti is known to be an admirer of the hardworking striker and if he can convince him to move to Stamford Bridge, he will ask Roman Abramovich to meet the asking price set by Kia Joorabchian and his investors.

Ronaldo: Hate me or Love me!

2009-06-16T21:47:00.000+08:00

His proposed 80 million pounds (RM464Million) move to real madrid may make him a hated figure but Cristiano Ronaldo isn't worried at all. In fact, the hatred that people have for him is the galvanising factor in his bid to "re-write" history of football.

He said he loves it when people sneer at him, hearing the insults. its doesnt bother him one bit, he will only feel bad if he plays bad. Among those who have warned Ronaldo about what to expect is the star the portugese will replace as the world's most expensive player, Zinedine Zidane.

However, former United assitant manager, Carlos Queiroz beleives that Ronaldo was wrong to join Real Madrid and has raised concerns about off-field distractions at the Bernabeu. Queiroz is Ronaldo's coach at international level with Portugal. He quote " I have my opinion about my wish regarding the career of Ronaldo and i think Manchester United was the right club for him. Its something to do with the fashion, the television, a different game that is in place nowadays. i must say that at Real Madrid, these things can happen very easily."

Left 4 Dead 2 is coming out soon!!!

2009-06-12T00:23:00.000+08:00

To all you gamers out there, especially the left 4 dead gamers, spread the word to all, the 2nd installment of left 4 dead is coming out some where around the end of the year. For those of you who are not familiar with this game, left 4 dead is about 4 survives, basically sacrificing, sweating, bleeding themselves out to save mankind and revive the country from the vicious infectants a.k.a zombies from taking over. There are a series of different maps and locations in the game, each with its own challenges and obstacles.
The great thing about this game is that you can choose to either play survival mode, which you can play with 3 other people and try to survive the game or you can play versus mode, which consists of 8 players, survivors vs zombies, 4 players on each team. For those of you who likes to show no mercy, you will enjoy being a zombie, not just any zombie, but the 4 special infected zombies which is the smoker, hunter, boomer and tank. The smoker is a zombie which uses its tongue to capture the enemies (survivor), and the good thing about the smoker is that you can attack from a far distance at any height. Hunter is the one zombie that gives a lot of the damage to the enemy as its specialty is pouncing on people, which causes the survivor to be off guard easily. The only thing good about a boomer is that it can blind a survivors view by vomitting on them which will also attracts the normal infectants to attack them like a neon light attracting a fly to fly towards it. A tank is just basically a huge monster/zombie whcih moves slow but can kill a survivor instantaneously with less than 10 hits.

Enough about the explanation, if you wanna know more, go and play the game. If you think this game is awesome, wait until the second one comes out. It's a much larger game than the original, and features new co-op and versus campaigns, all-new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, as well as melee combat. That is all for now, until then...

Hey all, my name is amir izwan and this is my first post of my blog. Im 18 years old and im studying in Sunway University College, im taking a course in Diploma In performance+ Media. If you're wondering what performance and media is, its a course where you'll learn acting in film and theatre and also the technical part of it such as video tools, stage management, media and communication and thought and writting. It's not an easy course nor is it a playful course, its serious and it takes most of your time. Classes are everyday, assignments are alot. Some of them are interesting some of it are just stressfull. At some point of the course, we would have theatre project and film project, where we are tested based on a play and a film that we have to create ourselves. Here are some of the projects that were created by my senior.
Well this the post for now. Ill be in touch for the next post soon. If u have facebook, do add me. amir_izwan7@hotmail.com
