AVATAR

Avatar is the first movie breached US$2 billion box office world wide and still running (US$2.2 billion at time of this post), vs the figure of Titanic, US$1.85 billion. It's interesting both movies were from the same director. For comparison, third movie was left far behind at US$1.13 billion (LOTR: return of the king)..

I just wacthed it last Sunday. Due to some personal issues, I couldn't really concentrate on the movie. Anyhow I was still moved by some parts of dialogue or action in it. Well, it's a good movie after all I'd say.

Diva Dance - Fifth Element

I love the Fifth Element, the movie. And I was always impressed by the blue alien singer's Lucia di Lammermoor & Diva Dance. It was presented, quite breath-takingly, at Boom Boom Chambre last Saturday. Here I posted another Russian girl who sang this song with such perfection that I would like to share with all of you :)

Above was the original singer, Inva Mula. The vocal was not impossible though at some part of it, her (Inva's) voice was overdubbed by wind tube :) below was the original MV from the Fifth Element for this particular grandeur opera..

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

It's that time of the year again! May everyone filled with joy and peace from above during this wonderful season :)

Fatine, you are the one!

From the Star:

HE may be a transvestite but Mohammed Fadzil Bahari or better known as Fatine, 36, claimed in his Facebook webpage that he has never neglected his religious duties as a Muslim, reported Kosmo!.

Fatine who has been staying in the UK since last year and recently married an Englishman, Ian Young, said he might be ignorant about some religious matters but had never neglected his prayers and fasting.

“Let God be the only one to judge me when it comes to my sexuality,” he said.

Fatine’s family has recently expressed concern that he might leave Islam after marrying the 30-year-old Englishman.

Fatine, who is currently living in Derby, is in a limbo as his tourist visa has not been approved.

The make-up artist explained that he married Young in a civil contract to legalise their relationship.

“It had nothing to do with religion. He is still of his religious faith and I am still a Muslim,” he said, adding that he was happy living there as people accepted him as he was.

He also said he could not return to Malaysia to visit his ailing mother at the moment.

A note written in his Facebook read:

“I have never committed any crime and have never hurt anyone in my life. My only crime is being a woman trapped in a man’s body, but I still deserve to love and to be loved.”

> Harian Metro reported about a student who was attacked by two sisters of her classmate at a shopping complex in Kajang.

The girl, Nur Rafadiana Pakhrururzi, 17, who is sitting for her SPM, claimed she was punched repeatedly in the face, had her hair pulled and stomach kicked by the female bullies who accused her of stepping on their sister’s schoolbag.

The victim, a student at Sekolah Menengah Taman Jasmin 2, claimed her attackers had also yanked her headscarf before pulling her hair and scratching her face.

A police report was lodged at the Kajang police station.

my note: What can be worse? Mere humans imposing judgment on his on kind. I pray for Fatine against all evilish judgment cast on her. And I wish her all the best in UK, don't come back to Malaysia. This country doesn't deserve you.

BTN, the Nazi's shadowy institution

I read this article, only half-way as I don't subscribe to malaysiakini.com, from Mariam Mokhtar. BTN stands for Biro Tata Negara that gives lectures and orientations to young malaysians (mostly malays). It seems like they are brainwashing the participants the Nazi's way...

For me, the seeds of poison were planted decades ago.

Just before I went overseas to study, I was sent for 'orientation' at a Mara hostel to ostensibly prepare myself for life abroad.

That weekend was a blur, and I recall four things:

1) Blocked toilets and flooded communal bathrooms.

2) Basic food, thus a friend's sister dropped off much needed rations of chocolates and 'kacang'.

3) How to wash your 'smalls' (underwear) in a cold country and have them dry by the next morning.

4) We assembled in small groups for out-of-door talks, in the school grounds. We were told that the Malays were the most supreme race in the world, we were God's chosen few, that the others were insignificant. We were warned about certain elements in our society...

This is scary. Imagine how many muslims out there are like-minded and waiting for right moment to strike on non-muslims in this country.. But lucky we still have people like Mariam Mokhtar who dares to speak out about this evilish thingy.

2012 Comments

There some phenomena that I found quite intriguing in the movie though:

First, neutrinos (with very little mass if there is any) are 'ghost' particles generated by stars, i.e. they pass through all matters, including basic atomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons without any interaction. Every second there are millions of these particles pass through a human body, then through the ground he/she stands and all the way to the other side of the earth without any reaction. So, I can't understand why the neutrinos in the movie suddenly mutated to interact with matter in deeper earth.

Second, with the earth crusts floating on the heated lava of the inner earth that splashed out like a hyperactive child. By right it should be hot ocean water (if not boiling) everywhere. But the water in the movie seemed as cool as cucumber.

Third, N-S magnetic poles are generated through spinning of the earth core (the solid ball in the middle of the earth), so I don't understand why shifting of the crusts could push the south pole to the state of Wisconsin.

Fourth, tsunami is gentle in deep water and the wave height only increases rapidly when it reaches shoreline and then further inland. So the gigantic wave that toppled the cruise liner (Hensly's father working onboard) was beyond my comprehension coz it was in deep sea then.

All in all it's a great movie I'd say. If and only if humans can look over religions, races and skin colours will humanity has hope in times of extinction crisis.

To Eveyone!
