Pizza-II - Villa

Watched Pizza-II - The Villa two days ago. I brought the DVD as the movie was out somewhere back in November. So ive missed to watch it at the cinema. Such an interesting movie. It was supposingly an horror movie, but for me its more towards a thriller.. a suspense a like. The movie was well crafted with supernatural and spiritual twining in between. Basic story of a son found that he inherited a villa from his father who died mysteriously few days back. Since he lost some law suits of another issue, he lost his current house and left only the villa which he owns now. The happy guy goes and stays at the villa where his life starts to behave strangely for him. The mystery is closely untangled with the help of his child hood friend. The key is on the painting where each occurrence was painted in the past. Its really chillingly spooky enough. I loved the BGM score of the movie. Hats off to Santosh Narayanan. On the climax, its a bit complicated to understand. Wonder what the director trying to prove here. For me its like, trustworthy relationship can sometimes stabs back on our own. Complicated eh? Well the movie is a must to watch! After watching the movie, there is one song that keeps me humming till now, its part of the discovery of the mystery on the film. Ive added the youtube link as below. Enjoy.

Pizza II - Villa - Song: Kanum Gnyanam

Overall i rate this movie (3 out of 5 star)

Goodbye 2013!

Bye bye 2013, its time to wrap up 2013 now. For me 2013 did not hold any wonderful memoirs or any moment special. Its just another year that goes by. The month June where my fathers death was a big impact for me and my family where the aftermath transformed my life completely. Physically and emotionally ive changed. Beyond June, everything was diffrent in my life.Well it marked a diffrent beginning on me i guess. Other then that in 2013 as usual my financial crisis did prolong, but to a lesser extent which makes me a bit happier then 2012 :)

Goodbye 2013!

Wishing all my blog readers and all of Internet community... "Merry Christmas"!! Have a blast with your loved ones.. stay safe.. and most of all dont drink and drive. If you do, dont drive.. think of your loved ones!! :)

Sayonara Yahoo Mail!

The word Yahoo! means happy and emotionally joyful. But does it really suits for yahoo!? I don't think so, i used to love yahoo mail a lot, its my primary email provider ever since ive been introduced to the world of internet back in the college years (90's). Even thou i have Hotmail (which is now outlookmail), i loved yahoo a lot and even ported and re-directed all my incoming mails from Hotmail to yahoo mail as i feel one primary email address is the best. I hate to maintain multiple ones. But now i feel its getting towards the end of yahoo mail reign. I feel extremely disgusted with the way they manage spam, the layout of the email itself and not to mention the super duper slowness it is!! How am i suppose to use my email in this sense? argghh!!! And what do you know, people around the internet are cursing yahoo mail ever since. I thought im the only one. Enough is enough! that's it, im planning to quit using yahoo mail once and for all! no more nonsense crappy spams and childish like layouts to bother about. I'm going to use GMail moving forward. Yes, i registered gmail sometimes back in 2005 (if i could remember). Its purely using my name as the email ID. Luckily enough cause my email is so popular i can see multiple email ID with some aliases on them on the net! Wow i didnt know that.. Haha. For Yahoo! You are really a pathetic provider. Thats it. Im moving over slowly to GMail and i hope by March or April next year, i would be fully on GMail alone without yahoo! Sayonara Yahoo mail!

Back to Malaysia!

Thats the end of my vacation and I'm back to where i finally belong.. 'Malaysia' :)
The vacation to Bali was nice, we enjoyed pretty much there and had a good time eventhou bali was not as good as how Phuket was (our honeymoon), it hold some interesting memories. The thing that amused me in Bali is the strong essence of Balinese Hindu culture in everything of their life. They are very simple, moderate & religiously pious people. I can see that they have temple on every single house! Wow!! temple on every single house!? Thats amazing to me as its not what one could expect to happen or see in Malaysia. One thing for sure is i'm very proud with the importance of Hindu culture in Bali for each and everything. I wish things are the same in Malaysia, unfortunately for Geo-political reason that's never gonna happen. Apart from few shopping's and sightseeing Bali is truly a fantastic place. Had some share of pretty bad experience as well. One for its food (maybe wrong choice of meal i guess) & second my wife got stung by jellyfish out at the beach in Kuta. Well she is recovering now. Other then that its a good trip whole together. I will visit Bali again maybe in few years time if time and situation persists :)

Departure day

Done with the final preparations.  Waiting for 7.30pm tonight for my journey to a new place 'Bali'. Im feeling very skeptical now on how the new place would be. Keeping my finger crossed.  I just wished bali would be same as my honeymoon trip previously at phuket.

Packing Packing

Packing, packing and packing. Its less then 3 days before i embark a travel journey straight to 'Bali'. Very much excited about it. Im planning a good amount of enjoyable journey to my much needed vacation. Yes! cant wait! Hahaha. Tickets are done, hotels are booked, currency changed, clothing's are done, camera done  just left a few stuffs that i need to buy before i leave this sunday. Yet my wife still slowly arranging her clothes one by one. Girls! How else can they be.. haha :)

Irandam Ulagam

Two days back, me and my wife thought of watching a good movie and off we go to nearby cinema. Back few years i used to wonder, how tamil cinema is going to evolve in few years time. Cause each time a movie comes up i would be disappointed with same ridiculous  story line, couple of low packing songs, comedy etc.. But the trend seems changing nowadays fast paced movie, stream down story line, nice background songs, new genre of comedies.. Wow.. Indian cinema has really evolve then! Good to know.. Irandam Ulagam fall on this genre.. what else can i say. What a movie this is! I just wish Steven Spielberg watch this movie. So nice to see improvements like this. Graphics are phenomenal! Superbly done.  Overall il rate this movie 8.5 over 10 for its excellent graphics, background score and story line!

Movie marathon

Two days back went out wit cousins for a movie marathon alike. Watched Arambam acted by ajith then after we watched Thor-3D. We had a blast watching those movies.. finally an exciting moment with my cousins.. after the movie we had straight to a thai restaurant nearby for a dinner. I cant wait to have more of such gathering.. exciting and rewarding.. the type of family bonding that ive been longing for long.. made me very happy :)

Diffrent vibe no hype

Missing my family a lot.. more over missing the one day that I wait for the year...deepavali a lot.. Life is diffrent now a days, wonder when the tables will change, how can I go back to the glorious day of my life.. fun time with my cousins.. all the never ending foods, funs, fire crackers, new clothes, temple prayers, the hype and the joy.. ;(

Happy Deepavali

Wishing all my blog readers Happy Deepavali!! Enjoy the celebration where ever you are with your loved ones. Stay safe and most importantly drive safe.

Silent Deepavali

This year the deepavali environment seems quiet for me. Unlike previous year deepavali celebration, where new clothes, visits to cousins house and never ending fun times took place, this year it is quiet for me.. my fathers death is the main thing. For hindus generally in a family once a family member passed away they will avoid any celebrations and generally any type of events for a year as a symbol of respect for the deceased.  Thats what im going thru now. Well till next year somewhere around june till my fathers 1st year prayers are done, generally no any celebration of sorts will we participate. Thats why.. silent deepavali it is..

Timeless time

I'm getting  awful on blogging nowadays, one good example.. my last blog was Aug-2 which is way 2 months back. Hahh.. im trying my best to allocate small piece of my buzy time for a little posts on the blog, but finding a good time is really awful thing to do nowadays. I need to be get back again to my blogging as blogging is the only way i could express myself in this jungle of many non-understandable human beings..

EPL - Arsenal

Ive been so taken down with premiere league. So so enthusiastically disturbed with all those so called transfer saga's. Not many knows that im deeply and profoundly in love with one of the EPL club Arsenal FC. This club has been my soccer love since 1992. Ever since then, ive keep myself up to date with the clubs progress pretty much. But in recent spate ive been devastated with the club style nor their transfer and buying policy pretty much that im getting angry with the club. They cant keep star players properly, they cant buy star players properly and they even do not have the guts to lure star players to the club!!! What could be worst, as the club been nicknamed as a supermarket of star players. Yes, star players of AFC leave the club once they are star to the heaven, playing as a rival against their breed-ed club.

 How agonizing was that! It made me wonder, is this the club that ive been idolized for so long?? The club that lost its fang, fading into the back curtain of emirates stadium. Geezz, who to be blamed? Club's billionaire owners? Shareholders? The manager, Arsene Wenger? or simply the change of attitude of the players? its very hard to pin point this but one thing for sure, Arsenal FC is crumbling down inch by inch. Hope someone or something can change this situation! I cant think of supporting another club. Hopefully the club can be back to its previous Glory! Can it?

Disaster movie

For 2 days ive been watching 2 different disaster movie on a building. To be precise the white house. 'White house down' & 'Olympus has Fallen'. How humans greed take its toll demolishing a nations capital and employing vast amount of weapons to achieve their target. Looks scary, but i just hope it wont happen in real life. Let just imagination makes us wander in fantasy. One thing amazed me for certain is the special effect. Its superb. All those explosion, the gore bullet penetrating human body, those blood splashing out, the debris flying all over, is all in all magnificent to watch.

Boundaryless Imagination

Im sure many have seen rugrats the Nickelodeon cartoon series of small babies with their pesky naughtyness in a cute way. Well today while surfing thru, i found a site with very creative idea of showing how the 80's series of nickelodean cartoon character will be in their 20's, grown up, matured and visibly younger teen.

Wow, very very creative indeed. Check out the link below. I felt awsome with the idea!! hahaha just imagine how other comic characters will be in this time from the 80's, few i could think of, sesame street, teenage mutant ninja turtles, captain America, tellytubbies. Hahaha imagination without boundary indeed!! :)

Fengshui

Ive never trusted or paid an attention towards fengshui or better known as chinese astronomy in my life. But yesterday on my mother and my sister's suggestion, ive decide to give it a try. Fengshui ive went. A small remote fengshui shop at north west penang. Somewhere near batu maung. My sis brought me to the shop, she is pretty much familiar with the shop as she trust fengshui and been in touch with the fengshui master (lady master) pretty well. I feel astonished by her prediction on my current and future charts. Especially for the current ones. All my bad luck, terrible time and difficulties seems well predicted which was taken me by surprise. Wow, its indeed a shocking one. For all the bad omens, the fengshui master gave me some remedy to be placed at home to overcome them and ive decide to give a try. Things like red colored floor mat, perfectly rounded stones to be placed under the kitchen stove and even coins to be placed on a metal container facing certain direction is supposingly to ward away bad luck and bring me good luck and good flow of wealth which is what im badly in-need for at the moment!! Interestingly enough my mind was in a state of hypnotized on all the advise and information that master says. I guess its due to too much of impact on bad times :( , alas ive decided to follow her advise very carefully. Ive brought up all the items that she mention and now im ready to place them as per her advise. Ive tried many ways to get me luck change, well no harm trying on fengshui, so ive decided to step in. Hope all the energy, element and good luck shines upon me not to mention good health and prosperous amount of income. Crossing my fingers. I will definitely blog on the outcome in probably 1 or 2 weeks time, depend on the results. Till then c ya folks.

Beyerdynamic Headpiece

Couple of days back i brought myself a headpiece. Its from beyerdynamic model XP3. Went to straights quay with my wife to check around for a headpiece. Ive already own one from sennheiser, but its more like a DJ Pro style and its quite painful for my ears to wear after certain duration of time listening to music with the headset. Thats why ive decided to change to a headpiece instead. The shop at Straights quay 'Jaben Malaysia' is at 2nd floor in the mall. I had to spend nearly an hour to decide the best headpiece for my liking and found this XP3 by beyerdynamic is pretty much to my taste :). Good bass, Good clarity and crisp sounds make me fall in love with it. Well impressive equipment from Germany. Still enjoying listening to musics while at office. Nice yo! :)

Singam-2

Watched 'Singam-2' last night. Wow, superb superb superb. Excellent power packed performance by Surya. Comedy of Santhanam makes me rolling on the floor laughing (Rofl).. Hahahaha. Overall, its one hell of a action packed comedy movie package worth every moment to watch! Planning to watch this movie again in next 1 or 2 days.. cant wait.. :)

My rating:

Varama ellei Sabama ?

Wonder what is the path of light for me.. Varama ellei sabama? (translation of: is it a gift or a curse?). This few days after my fathers death, my mind is not in one place.. to be precise in peace.. i felt something larger going to happen. Is it for me? or for anyone else? Im trying my best not to think negative, but surely this is not the actual me, thinking things and imagining things relatively.. What should i do? Ive lost hope on faith this few days. Tried to stand in front of the altar closing my eyes, with a deep breath focusing on things but ive failed. Wonder what should i do. I just wish whatever it is.. not a bad ones cause im not in a state of accepting bad things right now.. Il just leave it to the time to tell.. if its a gift or a curse which awaits me....

Soul Patch

Completed my fathers final prayers to rest his soul in peace. The last couple of days I was extremely buzy with arrangements and stuff. All went well. I must thank the dedication and support given by my relatives countless of days on helping us arrange and book stuffs for us. Without them we are generally doomed. Happy at last.

Good bye Father!

2nd of June. I thought it would be a normal day on my life. Never knew thats the day i would loss a person called father. I had a preety bad relation with my father. Never did i saw even once a good side of him. Not an evil person, but i never had an absolute bonding like how rest of father and son out there. He is a person on his own term. Hardly loved or cared for the family, Im not saying this to express how degradefull he is, but i understand to a certain extend that this is how he was brought up. Full of luxury without the sense of love & care. So thats how ive been brought up. Whenever i saw anyone with full love and and care for their father, i feel sad as why i been denied such love. Such time i made a promise that i will never make such a scenario to happen for my childrens. Enough is enough as how i had it in my life, i want my sons to feel the love and caring how a father would provide.

He is 65 years old, with a medical history of diabetic and hypertension but withoutany history of heart based complication. His death is due to heartattack. I was beside him as he breathed for the last time. I was on tears during the funeral. For me the tears is not for the love or his affection but rather a sign of thanks for giving me an initial, giving me a symbol, bringing me to this world and of course tears of thinking my mothers situation.. husbandless.

Dad
at many times, i thought bad and act bad towards you.
at many times, i raised my voice towards you.
at many times, i acted selfishly ignoring your emotion.
at many times, i disobey you
at many times, i disrespect you
at many times, i hurt your feelings

for all those i can only pray for appologies. I just wish we will meet again some day, some place
and we could make things up..  please forgive me.. and rest in peace.

Your son, Gauthemen.

Crushed Plan

Planned big but in the end crumbled with multiple unexpected things. I expected to have a wonderfull weekend with my mother at my house over the weekend. Just because of that I had planned and prepared for almost 2 week's. But out of suddent in an unexpected twist everything goes beyond what I dreamt. Now I feel this is the worst weekend and the worst planned event ever. I wondered can I go thru another round of planning spree again?! Certainly no. Not in near time.. here goes my miserable weekend... Crush crush crushed..

Maryan

Maryan..New word for me. Never before heard that name. Well.. i downloaded the song last week but was buzy with work stuff so couldnt find a time to listen to it. Today enjoyyyyyyyyed listening to it. Awsome composition by A.R Rahman. The tunes are fresh and foot tapping honestly to say. Not to mention those african beat.. Awsome job done A.R. Cant wait for the movie.. :)

Cough Cough Cough

Ive been coughing for the past few days now.. very badly.. Its the after effect of the flu that hit me days back. The cough gives me headache now and then.. Even at night i couldnt sleep in peace :(
Damn.. So far i havent visit the doctor yet, been taking some cought syrup brought from a pharmacy nearby my house i guess that wont help. I will go to see the doctor now..

Missed blogging.

Ive missed out couple of important things that happend these few days or months.. Well most of them quite intresting. Seriously having a tough time keeping up to blog these days.. Having hard time thou.. Need to change this. Il see how i can change my time. Ok bloggers.. target missed.. haha il try to manage it next time :)

Down with flu..

I have a terrible flu and sore throat now.. cant talk cant walk and even cant eat well.. my wife took me to a clinic nearby yesterday and the doctor told my throat is red and swollen :( oh god which bacteria attacked me now.. I hope I can be normal very soon.. I hate to be weak..

Hate Politics!

I hate politics! I hate politicians! All they say and claim are full of lies. I wonder who come up with the idea of politician concept in a country? For me its not serving democracy in anyway.. Why do we need a politician? Why do we need to fed them with our hard eard money (tax)? They never keep their promise. Yes they said they will on every 5th year (last year of their tenancy). Moving on excuses and in the end ignorant behaviour from their original promises. I cant seems to be able to understand this whole concept of politicians, neither do willing to understand! I have hundreds of other important things in my life to concentrate and understand. Back in 2007 Hindraf or Hindu rights action force was for me a god sent group that voices the oppresive goverment. And i supported them overwhelmingly. Supprisingly my family did as well. Why? we were angered by the rulling goverment. Those politicians who are claiming to champion the cause of milions of hindus in malaysia but in the end been sidelined from the mainstream economy. Lack of education (entry into universities), business opportunity, loans and many many more. Hindraf came up with a concept which is similiar with the one of Mahatma Gandhi. Non-violence act of pushing the goverment to realize the real situation of Indians in Malaysia. Eventhou they got inccarcerated behind bars for 2 years using draconian Internal Security Act law by the then Home minister and prime minister. People emotionaly realize and awaken on this and that provide a huge impact and in the end changed the political landscape of Malaysia which is back in 2008. Now after 5 years past and i feel we are rewinded back to the same situation post 2007! The Hindraf that i trust, the Hindraf that i admire, the Hindraf that i respected all this while fall to the knees of the rulling goverment! Claiming only the rulling goverment are the one who will champion the life and situation of millions of hindus in Malaysia. Well why they didnt thought about that back in 2007? Is the mass Hindraf rally necessary? Is the so called drama of sending a petition to Her Majesty the Queen of England a fantasy ? Is it necessary for hundreds of indians getting charged by law enforcement for their participation on the rally ? Is it necessary for millions of hindus thruout Malaysia to pray for every single day for the Hindraf-5 to get released on their arrest ?

Personaly i feel cheated to the core with all my believe listening to a bunch of 5 ediots from Hindraf claiming they will champion the missery of all indians in malaysia. I felt that we are preety much easy to be exploited by all those political gamble.

Basically for all those Hindraf struggle that i supported, i thought that one day my childrens and my future next generations may finally get the chance of living in one new socio economy which are way far more better them mine, but i realize its only my hardwork that will determine the better living of my childrens & generation. Not the Politicians, Hindraf or any upcoming fantasy groups!!

My take:
Trust no one! Trust only on our ability! Trust only on God! Human beings will never be the same! Like a snake, it may look charming, but you will get the venom someday...

Tamil new year 2013 (Tamil Puthandu)

This coming Sunday marks the new year for Tamils around the globe. It will be a good day of celebration.. In Malaysia, it will be celebrated in small scale.. usually people go out to temples, eat vegetarian foods on the day.. nothing much then that. Not expecting fireworks mainly, unlike in India yea celebration there i heard its more awesome then Malaysia. For me.. the day will go as usual as i do not anticipate anything special. My day will gone with prayers at home followed by watching some good shows (yea good shows on paid satellite tv programs - namely Astro). Nothing more then that.. :)

To all my Tamilian blog readers..

"இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துகள் !"

May the Sun radiate all the goodness of life...In this year.. and coming years ahead..

Mums birthday

Id rarely buy a gift for my mum on her birthday.. usually il take her out for dinner.. This round, not the dinner but ive brought for her a gift.. She wants a grinder very badly as her current grinder has spoiled.. Well i went search for one.. voilaa... found one perfect for her needs.. Its a Panasonic MX-AC400 multi function blender/grinder. Im sure she will love it.. :)

Happy belated birthday mum.. love u so much ...

Allianz Penang Bridge Run 2013

What was i doing.. is it my idiotic thinking? or my urge to show off  ? hahaha only god knows!

simply... i just sign up for the run.. I got nothing to show off to anyone.. its just that
i feel, i want to have some fun.. "Fun", well im pretty sure its not going to be fun for my body post the competition.. Well lets see.. what i get.. *obviously not the medal* :)

The run is on November! ive got plenty of month to train. But first, i need to get myself a good running sports shoe. Targeting either Asics or Adidas as this been recommended by a office coulege of mine (who inspired me for this run).. Well i need to prepare.. prepare.. wohooo !

G.I Joe Retaliation

Completely jumped away from blogging on the month of March.. Hahaha funny me..
Well couple of days back.. me and my wife went to see a movie.. (after many many months).. yea finally i got to choose the movie.. :P

We went for G.I Joe Retaliation.. not bad.. Still i prefer the one before this (G.I Joe Rise of Cobra). As for G I Joe retaliation, i dont see any stories except for quick run of fights and heavy mix of story line. One thing made me shock in the first place, the death of Duke. C'mon, he is the main man on the previous installment of G I Joe. And what happend to Ripcord (Marlan Wayans) of Rise of Cobra ? He is not dead on Rise of Cobra.. but he seems lost.. thats very odd. Another thing which puzzled me is the character Storm shadow. He suppose be dead on Rise of cobra, after the last fight with snake eye under the Ice cap on rise of cobra.. suprisingly he is alive on retaliation... wha!?

The Director of the movie did not bring the flow of previous installment carefully enough.. For me its totaly iritating to watch, rather then enjoying the movie. Another 2 character.. bruce willis & dwayne johnson.. Is it necessary ? maybe for promo.. both are oldies..

Argo

Watched Argo, its the 85th Academy Award winning movie for Best Picture by Ben Affleck. Excellent movie. The thing that captured my attention fast is the visualization. Portrayed in the 70's where the crisis of Iranian revolution beautifully pictured. Kudos to the crew!!

Work stress

And now im stuck in work stress :(. Whatttt.... oh god! I thought thats the only place im at free mind. Oh well road block ahead my man.. my office is planning a difrent shift pattern now. Guesa what ive left with no option to choose. We are left to follow managements decision. Im searching very hard for new job. I hope i could succesfully get one.. god pls help me..

Spiritual conscience

Recently im sensing a strange spirituality echo beneath me. Im really puzzled by this changes on me. Really wondered why. I had the same effect some years back i had it straighten myself. Yet been lost in time, now the same feeling? why.. i just wondered why? Its kind of strange. Ive been keeping in touch with some yogi masters and spiritual advisers who are giving advise via my emails on the things which is occurring to me now. Probably i need to strength myself on the spiritual world and start to realize my inner self. Maybe. Ive decided to be in spiritually strong. Yes, im planning to. First thing, im getting the advise from a rudraksha center, form where the guru is advising me to get a genuine rudraksha (pictured above) in a chain to be wear with me and the proper mantras to generate its power. Im quite sure it will be giving me a positive outcome as how it was couple of years back (yes i do wear it). Now i had to change to it again. Rudraksha has many faces, from 1 to 20. The rare, the expensive! yet, im counting and getting it as i know how powerful they are.

Let me clarify with the guru and get one myself before posting the good things about it.

Pious Thaipusam

Succesfuly fulfiled my devotion yesterday. Thaipusam this year is equaly the same as last year. We went one day ahead on saturday fulfilled our prayers on vows and back home. As usual less crowd less trafic n good weather is awsome. By the time we were there it was less crowd. Very good atmosphere. Next year il be there again to fulfil my life long prayers to the lord.

Not the same

I really miss the time i spent my time happily with my cousins and relatives. Now things have changed very significantly till i came to terms im standing on my own feet on a cliff without a rope, without balance, without a hand of support. This really made me sad..very sad but i do understand that i cant force things to be how i wish. However it is, here Iam cruising on my own boat now. My decision is the one that is important. Even thou i still cant forget the old times that i spent with my relatives, i will never forget it. It will forever cherish in my mind. Now and forever in my life....

Bye Maxis!

Finally bid farewell to Maxis. I had enough of spending much of my money well needed money monthly on maxis. I had to make a full stop and today i had taken that bold decision to bid adieu to maxis. For one particular reason, i couldn't put all the blame on Maxis. But i feel this is the correct way to do. Well i might (in few years time) be back to maxis. I don't know just a gut feeling. This round, il make sure without any particular commitments. Just mine. Money has been a scarred valuable resource to me. I'm no longer carry the title of rich guy that have no sense of idea of "how to spend"... but rather "what to spend" now..

Poor me! :)
