Movie Marathon

I did not go home in Klang this weekend. Mum's seems to be a lil upset over it. Well, I'm an adult now, and I think I have the right not to go back once in awhile. Busy with editing work this week, another job coming in tomorrow. The pay is not much but well, it kills my time as well.

Manage to catch few movies this week. Inspirational, heart wrenching movies.

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire (2009)

Story about an obese and illiterate girl by the name of Claireece 'Precious' Jones with a life defeating history. Being raped by her estranged father, and bore 2 child by him by the age of 16; and abused by her unemployed mother who torture her mentally and physically. One can only imagine how much she has to endure to be able to live on especially the scenes when her mother downgraded her to being useless and incapable.

Invictus (2009)


1995: A history in making. Nelson Mandela was elected the president of South Africa, ending the era of Apartheid. How to unite a divided nation with the long lasting hatred and racism between the Whites and the Blacks? Rugby! Funny it may seem, the vision of the man himself is just unbelievable. I can only wonder why don't our politician have visions like him? Morgan Freeman played a solid Nelson Mandela while Matt Damon's role is just under developed through out the story. However, the message is strong and it rings to us that the country with the most brutal and serious racism with thousands of lives sacrificed in the post WWII history, can set things straight with a inspiring leader. I hope I can wait till the day where things will change here in this country.

Well, Monday is here. Just hope the numbers are good when I see it tomorrow. Gnite!

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...

Stupidity

Life has been a mess for the past whole week. Juggling between work and family is not my strength. I certainly missed mum being around. He just lost his respect from all his children. He knew it before and he definitely knows it now. But he's just too arrogant to come back and admit that it's his fault that things turn out so badly. I confronted him for his actions last night. I have never raised my voice against him, but yesterday, it's just really unbearable. If I knew what happened later after I left, I would have screamed my lungs out and bring my brothers along with me. Last night, what you did is plainly stupid. Stupid, for leaving your family behind. Stupid, for seeking for comfort from others while your wife is here waiting at home. Stupid, for not caring over your children. Stupid, for ignoring your responsibility as a son, a husband and a father. You have definitely lost what you had all this while. All because of your ego, arrogance and stupidity.
