The Man on the Fence

I roaming across the streets of Singapore(I've always wanted to say something like that!) and I came alongside a bus stop which was just next to Commonwealth MRT Station.

This poster was what I came across as it was being pasted all over a nearby fence:


A4-sized poster.

Initially, I thought it was some sort of, ehm, poster for some missing dude. But then, upon closer inspection, this is what it reads:



"ATTENTION! ATTENTION! GIRLS AND LADIES!!! ESPECIALLY MALAY MUSLIM SINGLE LOADED DIVORCED WOMAN!!!IF YOU LOVE TO....."

Ehm, sorry. I know I deserve to be hit in the head, but I simply can't afford to get a camera with a better resolution! The 1.2 megapixel digital camera that came along with my phone was the next best(or at least, closest) thing I could get my hands on!

But to make things simple, the summary of the above was:

This guy(the one in the picture) who the author alleges of to be a cheater who preys on rich women that he had previously hooked up from the internet. He cheats his female victims of their money, love and sex. Thus, the author's alerting every women out there to beware of this guy lest they be cheated too. The author also claims that the cheater is skilled in black magic which he uses to charm his victims. He is also known by the author to have "...many name on chatline..." such as "...Ronnie, Saiful, Rifsky..." Last of all, the author suggests that the cheater and his wrong doings shall soon be made known to the world.


Man on the green fence.

As I was reading the above, there came two strange men standing opposite my direction reading the similar article:


Men trying to get rid of the evidence.

They were strange in a sense that I they were attempting to peel off and destroy one of the poster pasted on the fence. The moment they realized that there was something strang about this young lady across their direction(that is me) trying to do some funny things to them(taking their pictures), they immediately paused their activities and pretended to be reading the poster instead.


Damn old dude blocking my view.


Getting closer.

I tried going to the other side of the fence for their front shot, but they slipped outta my lens(camera lens) when their bus arrived. I suspect that one of them was that guy on the green fence... Hmmm...

For such situation, I wouldn't know what to say. I mean, I don't know. Let's wait and see if this Rifsky or whatever-sky guy is gonna hit the headline. If he's done it, I hope Karma will soon knock on his door for I believe in the belief of retribution. What goes around, comes around. Or simply, you reap what you sow.

Sometimes, I do not understand the workings behind a man's mind. What exactly was he looking out for when he decided to made a fool out of a woman's love and body. Is it that fun?

Sexuality issues, I assume. It's worse in this Asian society. Women could hardly be on par with men.

Or is it that cheating a woman's feelings marks the conquest of obtaining her body. Perhaps, it could even be that men do not run the risk of getting pregnant after countless rounds of sexual intercourse.

However, in my Asian society, the most possible reason lies in the issue of chasity. In most part of Asia, virgin women = good. Non-virgin women = bad. But for the men, it doesn't matter. Thus, nobody would point their finger at a man and say that he's promiscuous just because he has got a colourful sex life. However, it isn't the same if a woman does the same. She's be considered a slut. Thus, men doens't have to be responsible with their sex life. They'd sleep with anyone who they're pleased to as promoted by these Asian values.

Neat.

If I'd get to choose what to be in my next life, I'd be a guy.

Enough of Lazing Around

Ahhh, here I am after all these missing in action. It's been a rough and bumpy week the previous week. I've been organising a hell load of gatherings and participating in activities ever since the start of my holidays. To be precise, it's way before it even started and I'm dead beat!

Worst of all, for most of the events, I had forgotten to take those darn bloody pictures! ROAR!!!

Let's see, what has happened so far... Sprained ankle, learned cycling, reunion with Kindergarden friends, joined lots of sprees, went to the Zoo, got a new job, met up with primary school friends A, gatherings with primary school friends B, tore my lips, suffered a blow on my cheeks, had dinner at new Chong Pang with secondary school clique, spree items arrived, back to old job, went jogging with Vinc(can't believe I actually exercised!), shopping with shopping gang, caught up with other random friends and more... So much more that I can't remember what happened.

Most importantly, I have been busy with the planning of my overseas trip. You see, we made a vow like 5 years ago that we would be going back to certain places in 5 years' time. Thus, the 5 years are up and it's time to go back these places. Yeah, gonna be out for some time...

Anyway, I used to reject any form of changes on anything and I would deny that changes are essential to the human survival. Till today, I insisted on my perspective. However, not for the latter one. I finally recognize that changes are not only essential to our survival but, crucial too. I don't like it but, these are the ways of life. I gotta obey them.

And oh, thanks Yuan Shan for the job! ^^

Long Time No Fever

You know what? I wanted to really update this blog today. But I can't. And why is that so? Cause I'm having a bad fever right now, 39.6°C. No joke.

Thus, I'm gonna go right to bed. And if you're unlucky. I might update tomorrow. At the mean while, go entertain yourself by catching Season 14 Episode 1 of MadTV. And I don't mean just clips of it here and there, I'm talking about the whole darn episode on YouTube!

Part I


Part II


Part III


Part IV


Gosh, I need some t.l.c now, NOW! It's worse if you're missing someone when you're sick and in reality, nobody is by your side...

How to Survive 4bia

***Post may contain spoiler!***

4bia is made up of 4 different supernatural/horror themed short films as the title suggests(or you can't even catch it in the first place).



List of stories in order of appearance:

1. Happiness(English)/Loneliness(Thai)
2. Tit for Tat(English)/Deadly Charm(Thai)
3. In the Middle
4. Last Fright(pun intended?)

Loneliness/Happiness



Plot: A girl, stucked at home due to her broken leg. Thus, she is lonely. Therefore, she finds companionship through text messaging people with her cellphone. Eventually, she went on happily and unsuspectingly messaging this random, unknown and mysterious guy. However, what she finds delight in soon turns out to be her worst nightmare.

Review: I don't know why it happened but, there are certain scenes which made the audience burst out in laughter although I don't think its meant to be a joke. Cheap yet effective strategies were used in this segment to scare the shit outta you. There wasn't much dialouge in this one but the actress's really so good that you won't get lost in the plot.

First Fright: Girl MMS unknown guy her picture, guy MMS back exactly the same one stating that he's in it too. However, girl could only see herself in the picture. Upon a second closer inspection, there is, indeed someone next to her...



Last Shock: When riddle boy over at the other end of the phone makes his GRAND APPEARANCE. I didn't see this one coming at all and it's probably the one which will make you scream the very first time of watching 4bia. The smart ass thing about this shock is that it sets the mood for the rest of your voyage through this roller-coaster ride.



Tit for Tat/Deadly Charm


Plot: A bunch of stuck-up bastards beating up a school nerd. School nerd retaliate with black magick. Eventaully, almost everyone end up dying in freak accidents.

Review: This one, spams cheap and horrible CG effects throughout the storyline. It made the effects in "Money No Enough 2" look darn good. Ironically, "Tit for Tat" is the one which made me wet my pants. This one is also the perfect harmony between "Body #19" and "Shutter". Much gore was in it, yet it hasn't forget the freak factor of a traditional horror film.

However, some people call it a cheap rip-off of the Final Destination Triology.

First Fright: The return of the vengeful spirit of the school nerd.



Last Shock: At the end of the story, the UFP(unidentified flying paper) will be revealed. If you wanna avoid this cheap shock, just cover your ears. Sadly, I didn't. That's why I got so freaked out to the extent that Keng Boon almost lost his right arm. ^^



In the Middle


Plot: Four guys went on a kayaking trip. The eve of their kayaking activity, these four dudes joke about what they are gonna do if anyone of them end up dead in this trip. Well, I think you can guess what goes on next.

"In the Middle" is a sheer mixture of horror meets comedy. Throughout this one, ye'd be laughing one second and screaming your lungs out the next. Okay, maybe not the lungs part cause this story isn't that freaky when you give it a second thought. At least, nothing freaked me out during this part. To be darn frank with you, I thought I had the all-seeing-eye when I was watching this part cause the ending's too darn predictable.

First FrightLaugh: At the begining of the show.

Last ShockLaugh: All the way to the ending.

Last Fright



Plot: Oh ho, this story is freaking easy to summarize. Wife versus mistress, fullstop. Except except, wife is firstly, a royalty. Then, a corpse.

Review: Although it has often been said that "Last Fright" was suppose to be the scariest of all four, but I beg to differ. It was much scarier than "In the Middle" but not as horrifying as "Tit for Tat". Still, better than "Loneliness" in terms of freak factor. It's a kinda old style horror flick with a conservative plot.

First Fright: The first fright in Last Fright is defeinitely, when Your Highness made her first close-up on screen... as a lving human being.



Boo! Okay, fine. Let's get serious this time.

It's when she had her allergy attack acting up.



Trust me, she's ain't dead yet in this screenshot.

Last Shock: She's already a classic horror figure during her life time, how do you think she'd be scoring as one when she's dead? Then again, if you've got emetophobia, I strongly encourage you to avoid all scenes which she'll appear when she's dead. You won't like it when you see it.

Final Conclusion

If you don't feel like reading on, just take note of this: Go watch this damn show, it's bloody nice!

And if you can still read on...

Initially, I thought I was either gonna go through yet another gorily bloody "Body #19" or some "Alone" that will eventually end with something tear-dropping. Hell, I was wrong. "4bia" ain't all of that. However, it's all of those.

In other words, it's a perfect combo of all the recent Thai horror hit you've been watching.

Overall, it should have gotten an 8.5 over 10 if not for the cheap CG effects in "Tit for Tat". These people should learn to leave getting invloved with CG to the Hollywood instead.

Although this whole film is supposed to be a supernaturally-themed horror flick but, much laughter was heard in most part of it. And yes, certain scenes was worth laughing at.

In conclusion; darn, the Thais did it again, 8/10.

Some Updates

Went "4bia" watching with Aaron, Albert, Eugene, Keng Boon, Lee Lian and Yuan Shan a few days ago. About 30 minutes after the movie ended, I found out that I, again, lost my wallet filled with a hundred over dollars. But hey, all thanks Keng Boon and gang, I got it back! Boon and friends burged into the theatre to retrive Mr Wallet depite their entry being denied by the crews! Boy, I'm touched. Thanks dudes, owe you once! =D

Thereafter, ate pizza at PizzaHut:


The Before


The After

Then today, went "Mama Mia" watching with my shopping gang. This time, it wasn't only me who went on ranting and ranting, the other two of them did too. Especially for Wan Fen. Though she didn't said much, but everything darn thing is written on her face. You could just read all her problems off her face. And then... forget it, shall stop here.

Stay tuned for the full review of Thai horror hit, "4bia". Coming right up in the next post!

The Ranter

I've been ranting on and on these few days. I don't know why. Perhaps that's because I'm getting older as the days go by and you how naggy these senior citizens like me can get.














Anyways, gotta thanks Jun Kang, Andy, Yuan Shan, Wan Fen, Lee Lian, Baharn, Eugene, Jia Yi, Azrael, Ching Fang, Hong Kai, Melvin, and Kai En for their listening ears these few days. They must have been hurting alot after my spamming of rambles.

And how could I forget about you?

For all these years, I didn't know how warm you can be and I like being in your embrace, but... you lack empathy. I'm not as strong as you thought I'd be. Even if I used to be, things changed. No longer the Devil you knew, just mere mortal like everyone else. Please don't, don't assume.

You know, we haven't met for years and alot has happened. A hell load of lessons in life had been taught to me. And these lessons cost too much to be said. Too much that I wished I haven't learn them in the first place.

When things come, you'll eventually know that we, as humans, are as vulnerable as can be. Nothing else matters when the coffin lid is sealed right above you. At the end of the day, you'd be questioning yourself, "What was I working so hard for?"

Help, 999!

Call me sour grapes for all I care. Nothing irks the hell outta me more than seeing a pair of lovebirds, side by side, hand in hand, shirt to shirt. I hate it, especially when couples openly display their love by wearing couple tees.






















I've been trying to be more tolerant all these while, until I spotted this recently:


























What the heck was on their mind? Did they just escaped from the prison or had they been ran over by a car on the zebra crossing?



Someone please, call the fashion police!

Back and again!

My bad, my bad, bloggie. I had such a tight schedule ever since last week till the extent which I don't have the time to blog. The busy-ness this time wasn't like all the previous holidays which I was busy for a sole reason, work. The busy-ness now comes in the form of excitement, entertainment and of all, enjoyment.

Let's start with the last last week. Been busy with the Mid-Autumn Celebration play. Wrote some script, rehearsed some rehearsal and stuffs.

Then, the last week, done with the play, went to Zoo, completed a big case, had some really expensive meal sponsored by Jason(boy, that meal cost a bomb!).

Finally, this week. Completed a few more cases, went to Sentosa(it was fun!), sprained some ankle, missed a dental appointment, drinking at Hooters((.)(.)), had a fling, shopped with Ching Fang, got sick, found some long lost friend.

So yeah, I'm darn sick right now. Gonna update more on a later date!

Oh. By the way, could someone please tell me what is...

zzzz... ?!

Mahorela, you seriously have to update your blog.

Stop lazing around!
