World Cup

Every 4 years the same thing happens, and this year I am particularly disappointed. England lost due to bad refereeing. Right now, I believe referees and politicians are the most hated professions in the world. They have the power to change a side from a winning side to a losing one, vice versa. It's a lot of responsibility and they can't seem to handle it well especially when it's so clear when they are wrong. No wonder referees got a whole bus load of death threats and politicians get assassinated. Even Germany's goalkeeper admitted that the ball was over the line and Lampard did scored a goal, but just as Fabio Capello said," It's incredible, with five referees and they can't decide if it's a goal or no goal. The game was big different after this goal. It was the mistake of the linesman and I think the referee because from the bench I saw the ball go over the (line)."

Toy Story 3


Watching Toy Story 3 was one of the first times I went to watch a movie that was premiering on that same day. It all started when me and my friend were sitting on the LRT train that was plastered with Toy Story posters and we decided to go to 1 Utama to watch it since we had nothing much to do and much time to waste. We lined up at TGV trying to get the best tickets 'cause we couldn't find GSC anywhere, and due to our male ego that restricted us from asking directions. By the time we found GSC (which was an hour later), it was too late and I missed a chance to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D! Dang! No worries, it was too late to regret, we had to eat lunch by that time. We then wasted another 30 minutes looking for McDonald's (which we LATER found out was in the old wing next to KFC) and had to settle for the first fast food place we saw, which was A&W's. Not to say A&W's suck, but they kinda suck, with a pedobear-like mascot (Burger King was like 20 steps away from there). To be honest, I didn't think much about Toy Story and I didn't watch Toy Story 2 (I think I chose computer games over it). Toy Story didn't really excite me when I was younger watching it on DVD. Sure, it was fun watching stupid toys coming to life after their owner gets out of the room and running around in fast food containers in a pizza themed playland meeting green three-eyed aliens with no brains and a morbid fascination with claws, then Woody the Cowboy with Buzz Lightyear would get toy-napped by vicious Sid and have to escape from his insane toy tortures (somewhat worse than human tortures), which includes tying them up with firecrackers and blowing them up just to be fixed back again by other disfigured toys. They then miraculously escape from Sid's grip and fly back into their owner's lap. The End.
"****, to think I just wasted 1 hour and 21 minutes for that?"
"Toys have more fun in their adventures than humans?"
"WTF?"

Ok, back to serious stuff, in Toy Story 3, Andy (the toys' owner) finally grows up, he is going to college and what happens to the toys? Either get sent to the attic or the day-care center. But the toys want to be played with, so guess where do they go? The Sunshine Day Care Center. There they meet hilariously vain Ken, Lotso the fat hugging bear, super-creepy fake Baby and some other toys that were also donated or thrown out by their owners. Woody, being Woody, decides that he wants to be with Andy and leaves the day care center only to find out his friends need him even more than his owner in the sinister day care center (imagine that? crazy kids rushing in to play with you?). Buzz Lightyear gets in touch with his Spanish side and professes his love for Jessie the cowgirl (which is really funny), Mr. Potato Head gets a new fragile body and his wife Mrs. Potato Head misses an eye (downright weird) and Totoro getting his first Hollywood cameo (I guess). All in all, it was entertaining, fun, awesome (probably even awesome-r than just awesome) and pretty touching at the end.

LIFEGame

Just got back from fun, exciting, refreshing, thought-provoking, one-of-a-kind-camp!
YEAH!
It's been so long since I went to one and this has been by far one of the most unique and interesting camp to reflect on what you've been doing in your life.
LIFEGame is a game that allows participants to get a chance to play themselves at the starting age of 15, beginning with getting an education and having jobs according to your education level, then you can begin to live a life that you want to, like working as a doctor, policeman or a parking attendant etc. (I started out as a dropout so you can imagine what I did for a living.)
You are free to do anything in the game world, such as marrying, robbing, killing, having babies(excluding the process), buying cars/yachts/houses, gambling and paying tax incomes etc.

To me, it was a very eye-opening experience especially when I found out how much I've been lagging in my Christian life and how much more things I haven't been doing in this world while I'm still alive, for example, telling the good news to the people around me, especially loved ones and classmates whom I have been constantly avoiding this topic when around with them.
I could only imagine what they would say when Judgement Day arrives and how bad I would have felt if it really DID happen.
It's also shown me how easy it is to get caught up with the world and all its sins and how thankful I was when I found out that LIFEGame was just a GAME.
