Outing with Mr. Lim Jun Qi

Where should I begin?

Okay, I know Mr. Lim since we were just babies. We went to the same primary school. Both of us were teacher's children, so in other people's eyes, we were given extra attention compared to other children in the school. This is very true as we would find ourselves in big trouble if we misbehaved in class. The whole school will know then, so we were always extra careful.

We went to separate school in secondary. He stay put in Menglembu whereas I moved to AMC, the elite school in Perak. We were separated then. We only see each other ocassionally, in the shopping complexes.

After Form 5, it so happened that both our parents want us to pursue in accountancy. So, we went to a special tuition twice a week. He did not change much, still the same Jun Qi I know all these while. The Jun Qi who likes cute cute stuff like panda bear....wakakaka!!! It is the first time I see a boy who is so into bears. He has a bigger collection compared to me....hmph!!!

It was nice to go out with him again. He was adamant that he should pick me up to go to Jusco eventhough he doesn't exactly know where my house is. Well, he managed to find it afterall. I hopped in to his car and find all kinds of bear bear stuff in his car. Very cute!!! We had lunch at Black Canyon. He was treating me...wakakaka!!! As usual, we were always discussing about our parents. He was having a hard time to persuade his mum to let him further his studies in KL instead of Kampar. He said that Kampar life bored him, and he wanted to meet more people. Well, I have the same opinion as him, that was the main reason that stopped me going to Kampar to study in the first place. His mother was once my teacher too. She was very strict as far as I could recall. She wants everything in perfect order. I was under her for Syarahan, Story telling competition and etc. I was also in her BM class. But, she could also be very nice. She would give treat to the students who excel in their studies. Well, hopefully he could manage to persuade his mum to let him study in KL. Then, I won't have problem going out every weekend. HEHEHE!!! He knows more places of interests than me in KL, can always ask him to become the tourguide...wakaka!!!

FRIENDS FOREVER!!!

Angels and Demons

Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks as the main actor brings a lot of unimaginable happenings and moral values to my life.

Under the watchful eye of Father Silvano Bentivoglio and Dr. Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), the CERN scientists start the Large Hadron Collider and manage to capture three vials of antimatter.

Immediately afterward, someone kills Father Silvano, and uses his retina to break into the containment room to steal one vial of anti-matter.In Rome, the Vatican mourns the passing of the Pope. The Vatican staff prepares for the Conclave of the College of Cardinals, which will select the next Pope. Until the Conclave selects a new Pope, the Camerlengo (Ewan McGregor) assumes day-to-day control of the Vatican. Reporters, nuns, priests and other faithful all crowd into St. Peter's Square, waiting for the white smoke from the Conclave. But the Illuminati, a 400-year old, underground secret society, kidnaps the four most likely candidates (preferratti) before the Conclave goes into seclusion. The Illuminati threatens to kill them at 8, 9, 10 and 11 PM, and then destroy the Vatican in a burst of light at midnight. A video feed shows the missing anti-matter vial, which will destroy the Vatican and parts of nearby Rome when the magnetic containment field fails.

The Vatican summons Drs. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Vittoria Vetra from CERN to help them solve the Illuminati's threat, save the four preferratti, and replace the vial vial's batteries. Langdon listens to the Illuminati message and deduces that the four cardinals will die at the four alters of the Path of Illumination. However, no one knows where these alters are located. Vetra demands the Swiss Guard fly Father Silvano's diaries from Switzerland. They hope he wrote down the name of whomever he discussed the CERN experiment. Langdon demands access to the Vatican Library (something he has requested 10 times already) to see the original copy of Galileo's banned book. Using the clue from this book, Langdon, Vetra, and Lieutenant Valenti (Victor Alfieri) of the Vatican police race to the first church, only to find the body of the first Cardinal, branded with the word, Earth (in English!). They find the direction of the church with the seond Illuminati alter, but arrive in time to see the next Cardinal die, branded with the word Air. Langdon locates the third church with the third Illuminati alter, but tries to save the third Cardinal from burning to death, while the assassin kills the Vatican policemen. He convinces the Rome police to race to the last church of the Water alter, and manages to save the last Cardinal. However, he must still find the location of the last Illuminati alter. Langdon and Vetra goes to what he suspects is the fifth Illuminati alter, but finds only the assassin, who lets go if they do not pursue him. They follow a tunnel turns out to be a Vatican secret escape tunnel. The Swiss Guard shoot their own Chief, but not before he brands the Camerlengo with the fifth Illuminati symbol. Together, they realize the anti-matter vial must be in St. Peter's tomb, but arrive with not enough time to switch the batteries. The Camerlengo grabs the vial and races to a nearby helicopter. He flies it high enough to save the Vatican, but jumps out before it explodes. Hailed as a hero by the crowd, the Conclave decides to proclaim the Camerlengo as the new Pope, despite the fact he was not a Cardinal. Vetra and Langdon go to the Cheif's office to retrieve Silvano's diaries and discover a hidden camera system the Pope had installed. They show the head Cardinals a recording of the Chief confronting the Camerlengo, who has orchestrated the whole conspiracy to get elected and stop further policy reforms.

When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret scientific society known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.

Angels and Demons was the reclusive authors third novel after he gave up his job as an English teacher. It tells the story of Langdons brush with a shadowy secret society, the Illuminati, and his frantic quest for the worlds most powerful energy source, in the company of a beautiful Italian physicist whose father, a brilliant physicist, has been murdered.

The team behind the global phenomenon "The Da Vinci Code" returns for the highly anticipated "Angels & Demons," based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.

It is Ron Howard's excellence in directing such films as "A Beautiful Mind" that make this film so superb. It also lies in the simple things that keep characters like Hanks true to life, with his wearing of a simple Mickey Mouse watch, much like the truth to Russell Crowe playing John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind" and admitting to "taking the newer medications." Howard is excellent in depicting the simplicity of complexity and complex issues.

I learn a lot of moral values from this movie. In life, we meet a lot of people, day in day out. People of that sort will become your friends, though you don't know what are their intentions. In this movie, I have never thought that Camerlengo Patrick McKenna is an antagonist especially after how he saved the Vatican City from being bommed. He risked his life for that, I almost thought that he is a hero until Robert (Tom Hanks) played the video Commander Richter's office. None would have thought that the innocent paderi is the one who is behind all this. He is so young, with an innocent look, a look of an angel but a demon in within.

I learnt that we shall not be easily deceived by good looks... and we shall not trust everything of what people's said. Take the ones that are good and discard the bad ones. Many a times, people like to see you failing in your life. Do not give them a chance to do that! Be strong and face the problem. Always remember that there is no impossibility. It is up to you to decide what you want in your life.

I LOVE YOU

I love you for so many reasons

large or small,

and all of them

are wonderful.

I love all the special qualities

that make you "YOU",

One of a kind,

the Only One in the world for me.

I love all the things you say

that bring such a special meaning

to my life,

and I love you

for all the silent times

when your eyes and your arms

tell me all I want to know.

I love you because you know

how to bring out the best in me...

I love you...

Just because I do...

Because now,

in a place where

there was nothing before,

the deepest part of my heart...

There is LOVE!

A New Thing Begins...when

One smile begins a friendship,

one hand clasp lifts a soul,

one star can guide a ship at sea,

one word can frame a goal,

one vote can change a nation,

one sunbeam lights a room,

one candle wipes out darkness,

one laugh will conquer gloom,

one step must start each journey,

one word must start each prayer,

one hope will raise our spirits,

one touch can show you care,

one voice can speak with wisdom,

one heart can know what's true,

one life can make a difference...

you see, it's up to YOU!

Getting Past You

baby,

staying away is the hardest of all

not when you are so near to me

not when you are only a few steps away from me

i tried to run

but now i realized

that i have been running in circles

wherever i go

whichever turn that i take

there you are

standing tall

not waiting with open arms

but with a cold look in your eyes

saying "that it is all over now"after hearing that

i fled.

baby,

i wonder what has gotten into us

what we used to have

was it all just a dream?

looking at our old pictures together

reminiscing what's left of the past

it was sweet.

oh, so short but yet so sweet.

but, now...all bitter and cold.

baby,

a worthy mistake is you.

falling in loveis not a crime

breaking apart is not a crime

a choice to make

fearing that there is no end to the mistake

you chose to walk out of my life

you chose to give up on us.

baby,pictures paint a thousand words

but little do they know

that it only tell half of the story

people may taunt at us

but i do believethat with time

people may finally see us as a pair

but do we really need their approval to be happy?

baby,

it was not a coincidence that we are together

it was not a coincidence that we are apart now

it is just that we arent meant to be

if there is a second chance,

would you take it?

baby,

a chance has gone by

and time has fly by us

maybe it is time to let it all burn

the scarlet heart which once used to be entwinedis now black, bleeding and broken.

baby,

if you have moved onand all ready and set to leave this behind

i will follow suit too

even though i am yet ready

to let go of you

to let go of us.

baby,

as i lay here crying

knowing that everything has change

done and for all.

baby,

thank you for

holding me when i was down

holding me when i was weak

holding me when i was fragile

thank you for making me laugh

thank you for wiping off my tears

thank you for your love.

baby,

i never regret of you being part of my life

having you was the best part of all

even though it was not long

but it was all so short and sweet.

baby,

saying "I love you" to you

those three words

will never lose its meaningas i am speaking from my heart

when i say "I missed you"it was when i feel so lonely without you

it was when i needed you the most.

baby,

you were always there for me.

maybe it is all gone now especially when it is all over

maybe it is a little too late for me to say

that i'm missing all that

that i'm missing you badly

baby,

do you hear me?

do you hear my heart beating for you?

do you hear my heart crying out longingly for you?

can you see my heart bleeding?

do you feel the same as i do?

baby,

i just simply missed your heart beating alongside with mine

i just simply missed the whole of you

i just simply missed being with you

i just simply missed your everything.

baby,

if i told you not to leave

will you do that?

if i told you to stay

will you do that?

if i told you to die for me

will you do that?

baby,

our song is playing

but now the melody, the rhythm,

the lyrics,

have all gone wrong now.

it is playing nowa whole different song:

monotonously, words gone all blurry.

baby,

i sincerely doubt

that it was merely a dream.

i sincerely doubt

that it was all just a game to you.

i sincerely doubt

that i was ever being used.

i sincerely doubt

that it was merely just an infatuation.

i sincerely believe

that it was all true.

blame me for being foolish

but i am glad that i fell for such a trick.

baby,

i am scared.

i am afraid.

i am confused.

i am lost.

i need you.

baby,

in the end

there will always be a distance between us from now on.

in the end

we are just still strangers.

walking pass each other

and finally

killing everything.

I like this poem that my friend wrote, my heart feels the same way as the poem...
