movie marathon hehehe...

last night was good, been quite awhile since i had a good laugh with a bunch of matured people (noo...i'm not saying you people are old, though basically i was the youngest one in the group hahaha). there's just something about hanging out (although it was work related hehe) with these kinda people who knows how to let loose yet still sensible enough on keeping their maturity and sanity intact hahaha...you people rawk :P.

anyhow, after last night's much laughter and little mayhem, i've decided to do something on my own tonight. been missing out on good movies lately and i intend on doing some catching up, so tonight will be my movie marathon night :P.

so, what do i normally do when i'm in a mood for a movie marathon? well, in my case, i look at which cinema to go to before deciding on what movie to watch. Kota Kinabalu has several cinema to choose from, and choosing the right cinema can be quite a hassle. On normal movie days, i would decide on what movie to watch and only then decide on which cinema to go to, but on a marathon day, i would consider a cinema which has more interesting movies to watch and plan the time frames for each movies :).

now, a brief explanation on the cinemas available in Kota Kinabalu (based on my own opinion):

GSC (Golden Screen Cinema) KK: One of the oldest surviving cinema around, the cinema halls are quite spacious but the seatings are a bit too crowded...not to mention the myriad of lingering smells which makes the movie watching experience a bit disheartening :).

GSC 1Borneo: Recently opened in one of Asia's biggest hypermall, the 1Borneo, this cinema is so far the best compared to the others, but only because it is relatively new. but in terms of seating arrangements, i have to say it is by far the most comfortable as it offers spacious leg spread (well, spacious than the rest hehe), no funky smells (cos it's new) and no crowded seatings. but since it is somewhat way off the town area, less people tend to avoid this place..which is great for me but bad for their business hahaha. i prefer being in a cinema with less people because...less people means less distraction hehe.

Cathay KK: Even though i like GSC 1Borneo, my all time favourite cinema is still Cathay KK. i dunno why, it's not like i have a history at this cinema or anything like it. but its quaint interior somewhat feels cosy..or homey if i may say so hehe. but there's only one thing i kinda detest...i hate crowded seats, or seats which are too close to each other and there isn't sufficient space for a satisfactory leg spread hahaha.

Growball Cinemax: Located in (i think) KK's most happening mall, the Centrepoint (which i'm still trying to figure out why..), this cinema are packed most of the time. aside from it's tight and crowded seats, i don't really fancy the crowds. basically, my observations has shown that the majority of its patrons are teenagers which has no where else to go to be seen. and their wannabe dress ups can be quite an eye sore...but i think my major problem with the place is that it's always packed!! haha.

okie, so i've assessed the movies for each cinema from Cinema.com.my and i've decided to do my marathon at..jeng jeng jeng...(yeah lame haha)...GSC 1BORNEO!!! and here are the time frames for each movie :):

1) The House Bunny (approx. 1hr 38mins) - 7.00pm

2) Disaster Movie (approx 1hr 27mins) - 8.45pm

3) My Best Friend's Girl (approx. 1hr 42mins) - 11.50pm

now, as you can see, the intervals between the first and second movie are continuous, but the third is a bit of a problem because the second movie would approximately end at 10.05pm and the next show would only start at 11.50pm, so basically there's that nearly two hours gap to fill in...damn it, now the third movie is tentative...geez hehehe.

anyhow, i do intend to have fun at the cinema tonight..so ciao peeps :)

ps: anyone feels like going to the movies tonight? hehehe

ramblings of a tired and happy dude :)...

All these while i thought i was different, all these while i thought i was special and all these while i thought the stuff that are in my head only happens to me and no one else...the questions of life, the what and why and a whole lot more are the stuff which has been playing in my mind for as long as i can remember. well, suffice to say, i couldn't me more wrong.

apparently, we human share this commonality of trying to understand or grasp the meaning behind everything around us. the questions, simple it may seem are just few of the many difficult concept we have yet to comprehend. so, if it's that difficult, then why bother at all in getting the right answers?

well, everyone of us has this innate curiosity to know how everything works. knowing how things work gives us the insight to foretell the next course of action to take. but somethings are just not meant to be understood because it's there as part of our growth experiences and even if we try hard to get the best possible answer, who is to say that the answer is right or wrong? basically, it all comes down to us, knowing our true self and the ethics of doing the right things.

i've always been glad thinking i was different from my peers or anyone else, but as i mature, i realize that i was different because that's what i want to be and try hard as i might..i am no different than the rest of the population. so i looked back, searched within myself and asked 'what is it that i really want to do?'. the answer didn't take long to appear, all i want to do is to make a difference and hopefully bring a smile on everyone's faces..just that alone would actually bring meaning to my own not so pathetic life :)...the only set back is, i don't really know how to go about it and i want to do it on my own free time haha.

i'm not really sure if i had ever touched anyone's life throughout my own life's journey, but i can dare say that..i have been touched by nearly everyone i've gotten to know like my friends, family, strangers, those who used to be friends (haha)..yeah practically everyone i've come in contact with. they've taught me things to appreciate and the things to avoid, they've shown me the world from their own perspective and even though i am not part of their world, i can always use my power of imagination or reasoning to see things as they really are and apply it to my own perspective.

man..i'm rambling again, i just can't help it. sitting alone while having dinner at the nearby stalls right after the frisbee game gave me a chance to see the people around me; their smiles and laughters, the bonds and ties, their happiness and sadness, their clarity and confusion, emanates from within them like a silent beacon wanting to get noticed even if by strangers. but the most obvious thing that really stood out..was their appreciation for life itself. despite the challenges every human beings faces, it obviously shows that life is the only thing which keeps them going even when everything gets rough....and you know what..

SHIT HAPPENS! just learn from it hehehe

ps: okay...am now thinking of having beer while having durian hahaha. wonder how that would fare? :P

useless fa(c)ts haha...

just got back from playing frisbee and feeling a bit dizzy probably due to the cold and being wet for playing in the rain. wouldn't be surprised if i do fall sick, but i'm not exactly complaining here because i was well aware that we might be playing in the rain and besides, i love the natural shower hehe.

anyhow, i practically froze my fats off from being exposed to the chill. i'm not kidding!! the rest of my body parts were kinda warm except for the tummy and love handles where the fats are concentrated, owh..and my butt cheeks as well (which was still cold after a very long hot steamy shower) which i presume none of you peeps would like to know hahaha.

now, what is fat? this was what i got from www.dictionary.com:

fat: In mammals, fat, or adipose tissue, is deposited beneath the skin and around the internal organs, where it also protects and insulates against heat loss. Fat is a necessary, efficient source of energy. An ounce of fat contains more than twice as much stored energy as does an ounce of protein or carbohydrates and is digested more slowly, resulting in the sensation of satiety after eating. It also enhances the taste, aroma, and texture of food. Fats are made chiefly of triglycerides, each molecule of which contains three fatty acids. Dietary fat supplies humans with essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Fat also regulates cholesterol metabolism and is a precursor of prostaglandins

the only reason i looked into the word solely because i wanted to know why does my fats felt cold hahaha. okay, based on the explanation above (the hell with the rest of the explanation hehe), i can safely conclude that my fats doesn't serve any purpose because i get easily cold (that's why i don't like staying at hotels because of the aircond and i prefer driving with the window winded down) and it doesn't provide me with the much needed energy. it's more like an accessory...which doesn't compliment my physique at all hahaha.

i know i should try harder in searching for the best explanation on this topic or probably go into more details into it, but you know, i could if i wanted to but i won't because i don't feel like it haha. hey, you have the brains, go get the info yourself hahaha..

goodnight and ciao peeps...Happy Diwali to those who celebrates it :).

ps: man, damn dizzy, i think i am falling sick...

Lost in transition...

it has been quite awhile since i last overwhelmed myself with senseless thoughts, and it feels kinda good and freaky at the same time.

i once mentioned that i used to have a long walk or drive alone just to clear my mind off things, the solitary journey seems to be therapeutic in a sense i get to contemplate basically about anything which has been bothering me and the best part is...i've been doing this since i was 17, without anyone actually knowing it except a couple of my cousins who has seen me wandering aimlessly at the side of the road in the middle of the night when the full moon was shining haha.

yet last night was a bit different, i was subconsciously doing it..in other words, it just happened and the worst part was, i don't remember what i was thinking and i can't exactly recall what i was feeling...

don't get me wrong, everything is going just fine with me. i wasn't depressed or anything, and i wasn't even thinking about anything depressing (the past can't really make you do anything if it's already a blur, hey..i do have a life, a familiar and better life..). it's just that, after not doing it for quite sometime..the feeling seems a bit weird, but the moment i reached home i felt very content as if everything was left at the place i stopped when i realized my mind has been wandering :).

it was 9.30pm and was on my way from my cousin's place to get myself some DVD's in Penampang. Driving back on the shortcut, i was contemplating whether to join them for the camping trip in Kota Marudu for 2 nights and that was the last thing i kinda remembered because from one thought it jumped to another and the process went on and on hehe. the realization that i had passed my house was when i was just few metres away from actually reaching the Menggatal town haha.

i'm not really sure what happened, could probably be because i was just getting familiar again with what i used to do or probably it has something to do with the rain (what can i say...i love the rain, very much :P). anyhow, i stayed up late last night watching 3 movies in a row and i'm planning to do 4 movies tonight hehe.

ps: i gain strength from being alone, wisdom from observing the people around me and grounded by the people i call friends..:). nah, i won't be joining in the camping trip..might as well spend my weekend trying to finish watching all the DVD's hahaha

just a midday sluggish rambling...

Being alive, especially for humans, require many things aside from the basic necessities such as food, clothes and shelter to survive. the intrinsic and extrinsic aspects which drives every humans in their way of thinking, behaviours and actions has to be in line with their surroundings or current situations in order for things to flow smoothly and efficiently.

after years of evolution, we humans are blessed with the cognitive ability to resolve anything presented to us and act on it on our own volition. but for us to take action on what has been decided, there's that process of 'decision making' to decide the best solution to every problem, and the most common approach everyone might opt for is the 'right thing to do' perspective.

Sometimes i wonder, well, mostly confused between the notions of 'doing the right thing' and 'the right thing to do'. for most, it may sound similar..in a way it is, but if we are to observe closely, we may be able to tell both of it connote different meanings.

The right thing to do:-
a simple approach based on the basic obvious solution, i.e societal norms, the written law or the understanding of what is right and what is wrong without taking into account the 'what if' or 'maybe' circumstances.

Doing the right thing:-
involves the intrinsic aspect of how we perceive the other possibilities or the what would and could have been...in other words, the gut feeling which dictates what should be done.

let me give you a scenario here, what would you do if one day you found out that a big and kind hearted person who has been involved with so many good works throughout the years was actually an escaped convict wanted for murder? would you turn them in to the authorities or just leave it as it is since the person is more useful to the outside world than locked up in a cell?Obviously, the right thing to do here is to surrender him to the authorities. but if we were to do that, we would lose a person who has made a difference to the lives of many people.

okay, the above scenario has nothing to do with me hahaha. it's just that, i've been contemplating on the decision i made a couple of months ago and wondering if what i decided was right or the other way around because, the decision 'seemed' like the right solution but deep down..it still feels like a big mistake and the weird thing is, i don't want it to be right haha. but how can it not be right when the decision was made during those rare moments of clarity :). anyhow, seems like things are working out like the way it should be..so i guess my decision was right after all :).

Ciao peeps...

ps: okie, gonna stop the nonsensical rambling now. just darn sleepy.....and in need of a holiday, away from here...sheeeshhhh....

non-comical stuff...

really wasn't in the mood to work..so aside from taking random pictures around, this was what i did :)..




yeah okay..it is kinda lame, but what can i say. i dont have a single funny bone in me :). besides, was just trying it out hehe..

ciao peeps :)
