Dear bloggie,
After watching a couple of documentary on food... I decided I will try to follow a pescetarians diet for the next 6 months.
Most of u probably be asking.. WTF is pescetarians? Well, the description with the least most words...
Pescetarians is a someone that eat only fish meat and vegetables.
Ya, so no more Burger King Grilled Chicken Burger, McChicken, KFC finger licking good drumsticks nor Bah Kut Teh for me anymore (Well, at least for the next 6 months). I think it's high time, I put a lid on the amount of trash I'm pumping into my body. At first I actually wanted to try out vegan diet, but I decided I still needed protein... hence I decided to grab em from fish, which happens to be a great source of omega fat. However I most likely still gonna include dairy and egg in my diet, as I doubt I can eliminate both of these food from my diet.
Now, problem tat plague my mind... will I be able to easily find food that could fit into my new diet? Imagine, I can't even order a wantan mee anymore... well, unless I dun eat the char siew... :(
Dear bloggie,
Watched Ironman 3 and have to say have mixed reaction towards it.
First, I would like to say what I liked about it:
1. Less Ironman, more Tony Stark. Taking a book outta Nolan's Batman series, Sometimes less is more. I have to admit, it does add more drama towards the movie seeing the more vulnerable Tony running around and docking normal grunts and also gives more "zing" whenever Ironman makes an appearance.
2. Breaking expected background of villains. I sorta like the twist they added to the baddies, especially the Mandarin.
3. Wear and tear. I really liked how the Ironman Mark 42 got introduced at the start at the movie and punishment it endured till the end of the movie. Sort portray the hardship and challenges Tony went thru towards the film. Reminds me of Batman: Arkham City where Batman suited up with a brand new Batman suit which piece by piece got broken down through the game.
4. "House Party" protocol. In case your wondering wtf is house party protocol, if u seen the trailer it's the scene where Tony summons his armada of Ironman suits as backup. We get to see alot of suits at that scene, and frankly speaking which comic fan wouldn't like this scene?
Next, what I dislike about the movie:
1. The boss fight was disappointing. Ironman AGAIN get owned by the villain. I was perhaps hoping a more balance boss fight, where both hero and villain would REALLY duke it out in a ding dong battle before the hero emerging victorious. Something like the Amazing Spiderman 2012, where Spiderman and The Lizard were almost equal.
2. Ironman Mark 42. I'm not too fond of the idea of having a prototype Ironman suit dictate most of the action scene. The prototype suit seems underpowered compared to his "other" suits with the only advantage it have is it can deattach into smaller components and fly to Tony. This downgrade sorta mirrors The Dark Knight Rises, where Bruce is no longer at his peak. Acceptable, but problem is while Batman was way past his peak, he could still kick a normal grunt butt and only got pawn by Bane. Here, this suit even struggles to deal with a few helicopter armed with some rocket and machine guns... Common, didn't he blew up thousand of aliens in the Avengers? With his "armada" of suits, I had to ponder why can't he switch suits through the movie instead, giving his other suits more airtime... Would diminish the ending scene "Wow", but less sometimes is more...
3. Main villain. While I liked the twist they added to Mandarin, I am disappointed with the final pussy villain. His ability which enable him to pawn Ironman is also VERY anticlimax. I was expecting perhaps a calculating and brutal Mandarin that would lay the smackdown on Ironman by sheer number, force and strategy, pushing the Ironman armor durability to the limit. Instead, the Ironman armor becomes like our country aluminum car... Swiss Cheese
4. Supporting cast. War Machine after getting a paint job became a useless cast, hardly had any action scene. Pepper Pots pulled a Catwoman.... while I ponder why the director decided go down this direction, since she was supposed to be Tony's pillar of strength, spiritually and mentally rather than physically. Hogan gets KOed pretty early in the movie while Tony ex got gunned down after a few scenes.
While I liked the fresh direction of the movie, I feel lack better thought in implementation. Overall, I feel Ironman 3 is better than Ironman 2 but not as good as Ironman 1.

Dear bloggie,
Watched the movie "Fork over knives"... My thoughts about the movie... Well, it's does bring out a few provocative revelations such as:
1. Animal meat = Cancer!?
2. Milk = Lead to osteoporosis!!?
3. Real man eat plant!!!?
So, what is fact and what is fiction? The movie promotes 'full vegan' diet as way to go, and actually back it up with the typical unhealthy guy at start of movie, but eat vegan for x weeks case study... No prizes for those that guessed the unhealthy guy ended up more healthy after x weeks.
For me, the revelations does challenges my taken for granted knowledge on nutrition. I mean, a balance meal is a mixture of protein, carbo, fat and vitamin/minerals. For a carnivore like me, my source of protein usually is animal meat, eggs or milk. Now being told that I got my nutrition facts all wrong, and I been shoving cancer promoting food down my mouth put myself in reflection mode. Now that I think about it, how do we really know what we eat is good or bad? We typically refer to those FDA or by conventional wisdom... but how do we even know if these are reliable sources?
Anyway, the main evidence put forward in the movie is a massive scale case study in china where the huge number of rural areas are analysis in terms of diet against cancer rate. The study single out most area that diet consist more of meat have higher rate of cancer. My thoughts on this... well, I personally think it's great if one goes one a vegan diet, but to link meat with cancer perhaps is flawed in the sense, our ancestors have been hunting and eating meat since like A LONG TIME AGO, and yet the cancer ratio have actually pummel the last few decades... I feel it's not meat that's the problem, but rather what shit get feed/injected to the animal that get turns to meat that's really the problem. And when we traverse on why shit get feed/inject to these animal, we go down a familiar path of capitalism at the root of this problem. I however agree that the modern western diet is really farked up... Fast food, canned shit, etc...
As for milk being bad, I dunno... The argument that cow milk is made for calf hence not good for us human sounds farked up. Are plants made to be eaten by human? I however would give a benefit of doubt on the milk leading to osteoporosis argument.
So my conclusion I can draw from this movie, while it's the main theme of the movie to encourage us to be full vegan... I believe we ought to walk the middle path and simply eat more vegetable and cut down on meat and milk instead...

Dear bloggie,
How times fly noes? Was digging my drawer when I saw tis...
My old college ID card... Hard to believe it has already been like 8-9 years ago...
Personally I think I look alot younger in this picture (most my olds frens now say I look more "mature", which actually means I look like a geezer), and not forgetting my hair was abundance (tarik from side can cover face, now like sahara desert got a few cactus left)...
Having compare my dashing looks, so what else is different from my younger self? For starters, while most of u can't see, I'm weight more now (not fatter but more buff OK!)... It's like comparing the incredible stick men and the amazing spiderman.... I probably got more "T" as well (Note: T = Testosterone) and think I still can throw a wicked electrifying eye contact (which tends to frighten most chicks to flee)...
That's physical differences, how about mind and spirit? Spiritually I'm corrupted by "The Capitalism". Have so many desires (desire = suffering) Money, Girl, House, Girl, Car, Girl, Status, Girl, Sex, Girl... I recall my younger self being more in tune with "Zen" having less desires.... Probably have to blame my younger self for being so ambitious less which result in my depressing state of being...
F*CK U YOUNG BOY!
WHY THE F*CK U DIDN'T KAU LUI BACK THEN!?
WHY DIDN'T U PICK A BETTER CAREER FIELD!?
WHY DIDN'T U BUY MORE 4 EKOR!?
Now I got that outta my chest, I also change a bit in terms of taste. I used to favor less bright color like blue, gray, black... Now however I'm find flashy bright colors like red, orange, gold as acceptable.
In terms of fashion, I don't think I changed much, still favor simple t-shirts but maybe I'm leaning more towards slim-fit size more compared to baggy size which I used to favor (more muscle to show de mah, lol)... I do find myself less incline to wear jeans de, find denim material too hot and uncomfortable to wear.
Car preference leh, I still like classic sporty car design like RX-6, Lancer, etc compared to those modern fat curve cars design like vios, myvi, city, etc but I have respect for small fat@$$ car like Myvi since very convenient to drive and park.
Well, when it comes to the big topic like girl, I'm still single and romantically hopeless... More of my friends (not to mention anyone) around my age is probably married and have 1-2 parasites de or have a galfren de... But here I am, a social outcast... The reality of living the rest of my life single don't seem so impossible anymore....
Attitude wise, I probably more depressed than I was back then but I think my depression peak was probably 1-2 years ago... Who knows, maybe it will hit another all time high this year.... I'm less nihilist and perhaps believe more in fate and destiny now. Believe more in one should participate in life despite whatever reality (our live is fated or our live is our own creation). Wiser now perhaps I am... More aware of my mortality, flaws and uniqueness (or how freaky I am)...
So at the end of the long comparison, I have to ask myself the question...
If I had a chance to restart my live from 8-9 years ago how would I relive it?
While I may b*tch I would do tis and tat differently, I personally think I would most likely relive it exactly as I had, but maybe with some minor changes... Guess despite the crap/shit I experienced this past 8-9 years, deep inside me, I come to appreciate these crap/shit as things that not only mold but reveal to me, who I really am (despite me being a pile of crap/shit, lol).
"Everything is always a give-take, you gain something, you loss something else"
If often the case, are we able stay compose when we loss something to see the thing we gain in return...
Ending this entry, here an oldies song:
Carpenters - Yesterday Once More
When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
