well what do you know

yes, it is that time of the year again where there's less than a week left before i sit for my first paper which obviously meant that this exact time and some hours after that should be put into studying and revising whatever it is that i have studied throughout this semester. yet here i am, blogging, during the most 'convenient' time of times. that's the ol me alright,

now, updates, okay, where should i start......can't exactly remember the last time i posted something(too lazy to even look at my last post) so i 'll just share some of the highlights of semester 6...or 2014..or 2013-2014..whichever...

lets talk movies first

2014, as up till 12 november, has been an interesting, not that disappointing, mouth watering, year. why? well, there has been a great line up of movies came this year and some really mind blowing announcement about the movies to come. this year we've seen the release of a prequel-sequel movie of the x-men franchise (a good one too in fact,cover all the bs installments..yes,that's you x3 and x-men origins), we also have interstellar,a pretty cool movie with some mesmerising visuals, guardians of the galaxy, a fun movie, not so much of a great storyline-plot but being that it sort of like ties all the other previous marvel movies and the many more that still to come, this movie is a must watch(yeah if you're living in this era it's pretty much hard not to be sucked into that marvel cinematic universe,even when you're a fan of dc). what else? ahh yes, dc, they've announce all the other movie line ups that they are going to do up until 2020, in which one (actually two) of the them is the justice league. YES! justice league! yes avengers is cool but justice league is the first league of superheroes combined..plus they got batman and superman, so that pretty much beat the whole of marvel superheroes..ahhh,and in this year too tarantino had announced that he'll continue shooting the hateful eight(i can tell it'll be a good movie,even the title sounds cool).

enough with the geeky stuff, time to move on to something less geeky

this year has also been an eventful year for my class. one of our classmates got married,which is kind of a big deal coz, y'know, marriage. it's marriage. you being fully committed to one person, fulfill his/her every need, raise a kid, fuhhh..lots of responsibilities there. not that i am afraid but,being a guy,this idea of marriage,for me at least the first thing i must have before i get married is to have a job. yes this sounds cliche but it's true! how you gonna raise your family?(again cliche,but so very true) i'm not like from a royal family or something, working class baby, working our ass off to get paid at the end of the month. but the thing about marriage and being in a relationship and have responsibilities to the people around is that it sort of drive you to be a better person, to be the best for your loved ones(again cliche, but so very true). i think i'm at that stage if life where you sort of like have to find someone to settle to..and i think i have found one..yes it's only been like three months but,i just had this feeling of 'yeap,that's her alright, don't lose her'.

enough with the marriage,relationship thing, we now move on to another favourite thing of mine that thankfully came to a reality; the kl trip. it was good fun,even it is not all 23 of us but, i tried my best to get all 23 on board but,circumstances hinder my plans hence 20 (19 really,the other only exist in 10 percent of the trip). i really wanted this trip to be a reality because it is such a good thing to bond us. yes it cost some money but hey,i am positively sure that most of my classmates never set foot on west malaysia before and what a good way of stepping that foot there by going with your classmates? i don't exactly know how all of them feel about this trip but judging by what i see during that trip,everybody had a great time.

i ran out of ideas but i am still gonna publish this anyway.

The Beauty of The Devil

It's real!

Now,I'm a big fan of the world of organised crime, been a fan since I saw the Godfather movie. Since then I've been watching and reading countless movies and books of that genre;about the family,drug dealing,dirty politics,hands on the authorities, corruption, power, you know, those kind of stuff. and my personal favourite is of course The Godfather trilogy. The movie is based on the novel written by Mario Puzzo, a bestseller(would be surprise if it hadn't), and definitely the best of the lots in portraying the world of organised crime, the mafia world.

So in a way,i know a little about it(even though it's just through fictional movies and books, not the real thing. But of course I've never done it,dosa tuu..dosa besar!). Then came the Global Witness video, bam!

The Real Godfather is no Corleone, he's here! 

I have never been so astonished(and of course very pissed) when i saw the video. Everything mentioned by 'his' (lets call this particular guy Barzini) family members is like in the movies and novels! It's true! It's real! For example, when doing business the Godfather himself, in our case Barzini, won't be in the place of the deal. He'll let his proxies go and do the business,making it appear as if he never got involved in those deals. Barzini himself will also assure you that you don't have to be afraid of the authorities when you want to do business with him, he got them in his pockets, just like Vito Corleone and his connections to the people of power. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. It really is like in the movies! To realise that it's happening in this very place, this place where i'm setting my feet on, is just, i thought they were just fictions or just on other countries of big cities like America or China, but it's happening here! Un-fucking-believable. Our very own Godfather and his family. Of course before this video was released i have heard stories about his ruling, his billions worth of property, but to be exposed in a more detailed and full proof evidence, fuhhhhh.. It has never been this beautiful.  

To go against a monster.

Based on the mind of this geeky fan of this organised crime thing, you can't. You just can't. They got the political influence, you can't do nothing when they have those. The expensive lawyers are on their side to answer for them,their assets are always hidden, so even if you make them go to jail, next thing when they got out,money is still there,dude will still be friggin rich. They got powerful people behind them who got a hold on all those things you need to live, according to law(twisted law) that is, like food supplies, land, everything.so to go against them is suicide. Sad,isn't it?

Blood will be shed! 

Another thing that scares me right now is the 'no loose ends' kind of stuff. I'm pretty sure that Barzini is pretty pissed how the deal got leaked. You know that in The Godfather film, Michael killed his own brother Fredo because of treason? A man of wealth, a man of power like Barzini definitely wouldn't be afraid of 'pulling the trigger'. He got a reputation to keep, a 'family' to feed, friends to show respect on him, so when this happen, you know it's not going to be pretty.

Fools!

This whole thing that's been happening is reality. The world is not as beautiful as it seems. Barzini is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe there are still many out there, doing deals, burdening the people for their own personal sake. I guess it's them who's the idiot now, being fooled by an NGO, believing that they are making investments and stuff. And you call the locals as fools? pffffftt.. You and you're families are the fools. Bloody-foolish-greedy fools!

A child's fantasy.

Lets be clear here, I'm just a fan of the subject, I'm not sure whether they are true(but the corruption definitely is!). It's just my fantasy, just my point of view, a view from a innocent mind of the reality. But remember, our mind are no longer blind. We can no longer be oppress, we are not fools. Yes it will be a dangerous path to take, to take on a giant beast, but truth will always prevail.

Watch out Barzini.

Mumbling

i don't need any apologies for not updating this blog coz no one reads it anyway (except adell maybe,coz she do visit it. occasionally,hhe)

anyways,boredom got me again and that is probably the reason why i have this sudden urge of writing something on this blog. thanks boredom, you are indeed useful in 'waking' that drive to write.

now, a lot had happened along the time that i'm not updating this blog. i am now at the end of my 1st year as a degree student, and yes, you've guessed it, the exam is just around the corner(is it me or do i always update my blog when the exam is near?)

so, what to talk about?

recently i have noticed some things about me(we are of course learning everyday, and that includes learning about yourself), i realised that, i've changed. one thing that i noticed most is that, i've become such an insensitive bastard. yes, that came from me. why? well, lets just say some things happened and as i look back at it, shit, it was my fault. that's one. two, i seem to lost interest in just about everything. i don't give a shit about that, or this, i don't care about that, anything. maybe it's just me, maybe it's the people around me, or maybe it's something that i don't know. i don't know. nothing seems to fascinate me anymore...

but then, my friends and i went to Matang Wildlife last thursday. and for some reason, i find peace,hhe..it was fun(apart from splashing around the river in a middle of a rain,hhe) and relaxing. we went walking around the forest(though we didn't get to see the animals coz we're too damn late),taking photos(it's good to have friends that own dslr cameras and are really into it), running around the forest shirtless(yes,and i was wearing my hawaii shorts,hhehe) having a good laugh and such. but what i really like was the fact that we are surrounded by nature. the sound of the river, the sound of the forest, the green scenery on your sight, it's just something to really appreciate. my little piece of advice, never underestimate the power of mother nature! true story.

Nature rules!


now, ignore the part where i said i've changed and such. that was just a hook to make you read the rest of the post,hhe.. :p (but if you do think that i've changed,besides being fattier than the last time you saw me, do tell, face to face, would love to hear it)


is that a monkey i see?oh,it's just timothy,hhehe..just kidding

that's me,admiring and appreciating nature..cehhhhh :p

that's it, END!
