The knight of shining amour. Ah… often related to handsome dudes, shining amours, big shields and heavy swords. I watch lots of this sorta movie when I was a kid. When they all looked just so handsome and brave. So manly you cannot resist to fall in love and live happily ever after. Worst is when it’s a ever white horse that will never turn brown even with all the dust and mud around. Brian and his mighty knightsheep. Ah… felt like the roman type of knight but from the shield somehow look a little swiss. But anyhow… a brave knight that fights for everything and anything. Probably for it’s lovely maidensheep. Go knightsheep! Save the world from the evil and destruction.
I love my nike knight. Potrayed as a brave chess piece, nike knight will stop at nothing at all. Stand guard protecting the king (which obviously is not in the picture). Haha… and obviously I had a backup black knight. yes everybody, one for all and all for one!
What is up next week? Anyone and everyone is welcome to join. Be it good or bad… it’s just something we do for fun! Generate some cool ideas and well.. surely fill up some of our boring times 😀

One of those random days where I am too lazy to do any photo montages.
And all I want to do is just write, do some typography and play with some colours.
I am different which makes me weird.
At least that is what I would like to believe. Believe that I am by default born different, live in my very own little world and practice mand-ism. And living in this small world by myself makes it even harder to share the same thoughts, and even the air that we are breathing together. And this of course resulted to me being seen as weird.
Many people I know used to describe me as WEIRD. And every attempt to justify just put myself into a worst position. And at times, it got me thinking if being different is a crime?
I am not pretty which makes me cute.
Come to think of it, it never came across my mind that I was the pretty kind. Not that I am humble.. just I think I am the cute kind. Haha… okay… maybe I forgot to put the word “pretend to be” in front of the word cute.
I know, I know… I am too old to still pretend to be cute. But I just can’t help it! And I don’t see anything wrong with pretending to be cute. It’s just me and I am not forcing you to, so don’t judge!
I am talkative which makes me a crapper.
Yes, I can be if I want to. If you don’t feel it, then that means we are not close enough.
In general, I talk a lot to my close friends to some point I will annoy the hell out of them.
I speak up which makes me bold.
This is not something I always do, because I believe in second chances. So if you hear me speak up, you are either unlucky or just annoying.
I would advice you to never ever try provoking me to speak up when I have no intention of saying. I will either rock your believes or bring you on a tour to see the other side of the world.
I am cheeky which makes me notti.
Haha.. I was born in the year of the monkey, what do you expect!
It’s in the blood and born with it thingy. At least in my parents heart, I will be the cheeky and notti one.
I am not sensible which makes me not reasonable.
While I try hard to control my sensibility, by nature I am not. Many things I say and think are not justifiable by any sense or reasons. I will just do things I feel like doing.
I think too much which makes me over sensitive.
Thinking is something I do, but it does not always translate to a well thought through process or solutions and even words. Why you may ask? And the answer to that would be, the emotional side of me overpowered my rational side.
Small little things will actually provoke me to re-think or start thinking. Well, I think I over think stuffs at times, trying to think and look at things in a different perspective. But one common thing will appear along this thinking process, friends will pass a passing remark that you are overly sensitive when you try to analyze a matter and thought to them. And I used to feel annoyed with that. But I have came to a conclusion that, they do not feel it because they have not see what I have seen, or they have not think of what I have thought.
I believe in destiny but I forsee possibilities.
It has been a long battle in the belief between destiny and human will. I use to think that if I didn’t make an action, nothing will ever take place. But well, as years goes by, I sort of come to a conclusion that everything and anything has it’s time and place which was pre-destined. But any new step or actions you make will create a different possibilities.
Movie Title: Little Man
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/10)
Year: 2006
Little Man official site: http://www.littleman-movie.com/
Where to start… Let’s see, I opt to see something funny, something I wouldn’t wanna waste my brain cell thinking what the whole plot is all about, why this scene is shot this way.. why this.. why that…. how come this… pay attention to the apple… it’s the key to the whole story thing. Yes, my brain needs a major rest as there are many question and situation arises in life that I need to figure out.
Yes… *yak yak yak* Why you go see such movie? It’s one of the worst movie of the year! Don’t waste money lar… *blah blah blah* . Right… don’t be too concern, I know what I am watching and from the trailer, I already didn’t expect anything out of this movie. I just need a good laugh, that’s all.
Right.. about the movie, the title sorta self explained 50% of the movie with Marlon Wayans acting as Calvin, the little man who was constantly jailed for thief and other criminal offence. Just when he was released, Percy (Tracy Morgan) came and pick him up and they quickly have a job to do. This time, to steal a diamond a size of a golf ball.
For obvious reasons, the scene was not believable but then, it’s a slapstick comedy so… I don’t think I want to bother commenting about it. Everything did work out fine and they manage to steal it. The only problem is the cops are going after them. Calvin then hides the diamond at Darryl (Shawn Wayans)’s wife, Vanessa (Kerry Washington)’s handbag
Calvin and Percy would have to come out with an idea to get to the diamond. Since they overheard that Darryl wanted a baby badly, Calvin being that little is the perfect solution to the problem. Without further surprise, yes, he is the little baby that goes “goo goo ga ga” at the doorstep.
Calvin was instantly being accepted and kept. Obviously there are some exceptions. Vanessa’s dad (John Witherspoon) didn’t actually like the idea of the baby thing. Yeah, they were about to keep the baby for the weekend as the government service department is closed on weekend. It’s just enough time for Calvin to steal the diamond out and run.
Much mischievous stuff happen like typical baby problem arises. Not to even mention that Calvin was so excited when see Vanessa’s friends coming over for a visit. Oh yeah, blonde, big boobs… haha sexy.. do I need to tell you what is the excitement all about?
Obviously after bonding together as a family for 2 days, Calvin finally decides to go back and help the Darryl family when he knows that his boss, Walken (Chazz Palminteri) is going over to Darryl’s house thinking he double crossed them and wanted to take the diamond back.
As a typical comedy ending, obviously the badass people got beaten up badly and jailed. And yes… obviously Darryl will keep Calvin at home.. Duh… it’s one of those movie you could never expect any surprise as this will mean I would be surprised and used my brain cells. Not part of my plan though!

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 June 2006. Too many pictures… too many stuffs being done in such a short time. Right… where were we, yeah… ermm right from Kea Farm, we move on to tea. Right… what is better than a cup of hot tea in Cameron. They are famous for their tea. Yes, and it’s dirt cheap compare to the tea you drink anywhere else in Malaysia. I never know where exactly I am… cause everywhere looks almost the same. Yeah… green here, green there… hill here… hill there… winding roads everywhere. The moment the engine stop, I saw this big big stretch of tea plantation right in front of me. There is a small little brick house which says “Cameron Bharat Plantations Sdn Bhd”. Yes, this is the place we stop for tea. Where else better than a tea plantation. Jon and Brian’s task were to buy drinks and munchies while us (the three little girls) run upstairs to get a good seat. Ah… under the covers, cold and windy place… I almost want to fall asleep. Obviously when the boys come back, our camera’s start working. Everyone is busy snapping pictures and have silly talks munching on cookies, curry puffs and drinking tea… while looking at more tea. We then decided to jump in to the plantation and snap more pictures. Yes lots and lots more pictures.
What exactly did we go through? Well… lots of grass… insects.. yeah, mosquito bites and not to mention the tall grass… ermmm should I call it grass? Er… anyway… yeah… it’s totally worth it especially now that I am re-seeing all the pictures.. it just makes me feel so happy. Yes, at the end of the day.. we have to sit down at the stairs and take out all the flower seeds that got stuck at our jeans and shirts. No kidding… it’s sticking to us like bees to honey. *yawn* It’s time to go back to our cozy room and have a short nap before we go out for dinner. Special dinner I was told.. Yes, I couldn’t wait to wake up and eat. Other Cameron post: |
Movie Title: Monster House
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/10)
Year: 2006
Monster House official site: http://www.monsterhouse-movie.com/
Well.. well, a movie that needs no introduction as the movie title already says it all. Horror movie that resolves around a creepy house that eats anything that falls on it property.
With Steven Spielberg big name in it, who needs big stars voice over. Then again… who says only big stars does the best voice over?
Okay… the movie starts peacefully where it shows a little leave falling and floating in the air like many other movie (eg. Forest Gump). Then there is this little girl riding on her tricycle whistling Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Story’s song. Haha.. yes, talking about hardcore Steven Spielberg branding!
I must say I am surprised they didn’t name any character Steven. Maybe they do, just I didn’t very much bother about the small small and sub sub characters. Oh yeah… let’s continue. Everything was so peaceful when suddenly the tricycle got stuck at Mr. Nebbercracker’s (Steve Buscemi) front lawn. He angrily march out of the house and gives the little girl a scary look while grumbling. He then took the little girl’s tricycle and scares her away.
DJ (Mitchel Musso) who stays opposite of Nebbercracker is always eyeing on him thinking he is a psychotic old man that is suspicious and scary. He always tries to tell his parents about it but at no vail. He kept getting shut down by his parents. Not to even mention his mother treats him like a little boy.
One day, when his parents were out of town and Chowder (Sam Lerner) came over for a visit. While playing around, the basketball that he newly buy falls at Nebbercracker’s lawn. He then begs DJ to help get it back. He refused at first.. but then decided to do it. Just as he is about to reach for the ball, Nebbercracker came out and scream and scared the shit out of DJ. Just as Nebbercracker is about to grab DJ, he was attacked with a stroke. DJ thought he killed Nebbercracker and the spirit is now at the house. Matters turn worst when he receive a phone call from Nebbercracker’s house.
They both starts to be really scared when the witness the Nebbercracker’s house ate the dog. They even suspect their babysitter, Zee’s (Maggie Gyllenhaal) boyfriend, Bones (Jason Lee) is being eaten by the house as well when they saw the beer bottle being sucked down. They then start to watch the house and jot down every little detail about it.
They then saw this cute girl, Jenny (Spencer Locke). Both Chowder an DJ tries to impress the girl after saving her from being eaten by the house. They all try to tell th adults about the house but none of them believe.
Together they figure and finally comes out with a decision to go in to the house. Just as they were inside, they notice that the house is actually very much alive by itself and noticed that the house has this dark secret.
Yes, apparently everyone rumoured that Nebbercracker killed his wife. Yeah, his wife is a giant size woman that is being locked in the circus. Nebbercracker was so in love with her that he decided to save her and live happily with her. They then bought a land and built a house. When they were constructing the house, some small kids was throwing stones at her and teasing her. She was very angry and decided to run after them where she slipped and fall in to the cement of the house and died.
Her angry soul was buried together with the house and it eats and scared any children especially on Halloween’s day. Mr. Nebbercracker was home in the nick of time when DJ, Chowder and Jenny needs him. Yeah, the house was so angry when DJ and friends pull Mr. Nebbercracker to runaway when they know that all this while, Mr. Nebbercracker scares the kids away in order to protect them.
Mr. Nebbercracker was left with no other choice except to blow the house down as it gets out of control. He was then being throw and got hurt and the job was obviously being passed to the trio. The funny part is I never understand why they bother trying to light the dynamite when all they need to do is just throw it in to the chimney.
Obviously the house was being blown in to small pieces. We are talking about watching a children animation movie here. The baddies always die or got jailed up.
Yes, if you ask me… I think this movie is not that suitable for kids as it surely will make them have nightmares. And obviously, there are lots of verbal jokes which I doubt kids would understand.
Overall, the animation still seems a little raw compared to Pixar’s and dreamwork’s stuff. But well… I must say they did a very good job on animating the house.
Don’t really leave the cinema that early as there are some catchy bits at the end. Yeah, Bones, the dog and the policemen that were being eaten by the house in the first place reappeared.. unharmed… unscratched. Hahaha.. yeah, apparently, they will have to do that in order to get the PG (Parental Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents might not like to expose to their young children – material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film.

Oh yeah, please visit their site. I love their loading page. It has this flip animation thing going on while waiting for the page to load and it’s pretty cute.
There were time when we all thought astronauts 👩🚀 were ancient like flying goddess.
Perhaps a little pixie or fairy, maybe a little Peter Pan too.
Maybe it is just my thoughts.
According to some Chinese stories, the moon is the home to the goddess – Chang Er.
And now, we send our little astronauts to accompany the goddess.
Most people wonder what happens at the moon.
Now let the cute little astronauts tell the story.
Jimbo is back, sending love wave messages through the universe.
Love for food and love is everything.
Eat, play and love.
Just as we wonder what inspires Jimbo’s art, he wrote in response “I don’t know la. I’m thinking fucking in space could get pretty awkward 😬.”
Too kinky Jimbo, too kinky!
LB is back alright!
Back and better, and more disco diva than ever.
A dancing fever powered astronaut, all geared up to do a great show.
Groovy baby! Let’s do the 70’s dance!
A great comeback indeed.
Brian and his little astrosheep.
Very ready to explore the universe and invade moon.
The sheep has been there and done that.
But don’t the astrosheep looks a little like an astropoodle?
But it still looks cuter than ever. Looks like a next Paul Frank in action.
On my end, I shared and submitted in a group of astro aliens.
I love the fact that they looks dangerously cute but hungry.
It looks like they are planning to invade the cheesy moon 🌕.
Please avoid plant earth 🌎 and keep us safe.
What is up next week?

Click on the banner to visit our past project crossroad gallery.
It has been 5 years since the September 11 incident that happened in the United States of America.
However this incident just seems like yesterday, I am sure the affected family members still feel the pain and sadness on this very day.
I could still remember, I first heard of this song was in the cinema.
This song is actually part of the soundtrack of the movie – Sweet November.
The movie was actually a romantic movie featuring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.
And I used to think the song compliments the movie so well.
But now, every time I listen to this song I can only relate it to the September 11th, World Trade Centre event.
May god bless the victims,their family and America.
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 14 August 2006.
We finally decided on a birthday lunch 10 days after Azli’s (more famously known as ikan) birthday.
We walked down and have our ritual birthday lunch buffet.
While it may seems a little late, our motto was better late than never.
All of us were eyeing what each of us ate and who manage to make the buffet worthwhile.
Ikan claimed that he only had a few oysters only, but we all knew it was a lie .
To add, each of the oysters are really huge.
And guess what, according to our spying, he had at least 7 oysters.
While for me, I kept going in for the sashimi since it was so fresh.
It was so good and kept me wondering what would happen if I were to go to Japan.
Don’t worry, while I love Japanese food, I still love our local foods such as nasi briyani, rendang, nasi lemak and many others.
After the buffet, everyone else ordered their hot after meal coffee except me.
Lack of sleep and coffee is not a good combination, especially when I clearly needed to close my eyes.
And drinking coffee at this point in time will cause my heart to beat faster.
Now, let’s all head back to finish up our work.
Happy Belated Birthday Ikan 🐟!
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 8 September 2006.
Before the big celebration, we had a super fulfilling dinner.
Lucky it was not a big problem since we only need to drag ourselves to Checker’s which is just a few shops away.
We had a few tables reserved for the night and are on a mission to make sure Loh enjoyed his birthday🎂 celebration and drink!
The drinking session starts of with a smaller crowd.
Yes, the usual suspect that are on time – Ganesh, May, Loh, Azli, Prem and myself.
This crowd is enough to entertain till the rest of the gang arrived.
To my surprise, Eunice brought Jessy along.
As for Meng, he is the always the last to arrive.
Probably he can’t decide what to wear, but red is good.
Always the best colour for a birthday celebration.
And the moment he arrive, he can’t help but to give a birthday toss Loh.
For sure I can’t miss out the opportunity. How can I not toss my bro right?
Happy Birthday Loh 大哥
Yes, I must show my respect to my brother. Cheers 大哥! Cheers!
That’s right, the night started off slow but ended up fast.
Before the time struck 12, our mission is accomplished.
We continued to enjoy our night even after our mission is completed .
We didn’t manage any cake since our mission went on so well.
The birthday boy fell asleep even before we could cut the cake.
Yes, the cake became the decoration for the night.
Wonder if Loh will remember any of this tomorrow 😆.

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 June 2006. Right after we explore our chalet abit, our stomach start sending noises as a gentle reminder to us that it’s time for lunch. Obviously dim sum has digested, and we are venturing around for food. We drove to the nearest town. Yeah, Brinchang seems to be the location. We stop at the heart of Brinchang and decided to look for food. No one of us have any idea of what to eat. We decided to just walk in to whatever shop that anyone wanted to walk in. So yes, we found Restoran and Rumah Tumpangan Hong Kong. From the pictures shown, this place seriously do serve lots of stuff. From chicken rice to mixed rice to porridge to steamboats to western food. Not to even mention the variety of noodles. Gigi decided to take porridge. The rest of us decided to order some dishes from the mixed rice section and share. We had stir fry ladies fingers, sweet and sour pork and ma poh taufu and a plate of roasted chicken. Food was not really that tasty. Well, probably the wheather is cold which makes the dishes get cold easily. But the taste is just so different. The sweet and sour pork eh… hemm the pork just taste different from what we normally get in KL. I dunno.. it just have a different type of smell. Bet things would be better if the food were really really hot! Yeap yeap, brian and gigi.. haha, as usual they will have their small dramas and pinching session. Yeah, you would know how bad things goes if you remember the first winter warmer’s post. As usual, none of us would wanna get involved or being bothered. Haha.. yeah.. it’s sort of like a daily dose for them thingy.
Potted flowers looked as pretty as it always is. Cactus has never been so manly the last time I saw them. Yeah… just so manly eh? Strawberries weren’t as big and red before they were plucked. Not as much as I expect to see. Yeah… I expect to see loads and loads, mountains and mountains of strawberries. But yeah… I am a little disappointed. Maybe I went to the wrong place. Sigh… yes… I need to stop being disappointed! I need tea! Other Cameron post: |
