Get Smart: Movie Review


Have you ever seen Get Smart before? It was acted by Don Adams (passed away in 2005) as a very bumbling US agent who somehow manage to always makes thing bad at first and the best in the end. And that was the 1960's, and now we're in 2008 seeing the same by Steve Carell instead. And its a movie also instead. I got my chance today to really watch this, and it seems that I have a little bit of a edgy feeling to this.

The movie is about Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell of The Office fame) who has long enough wanted to become a field agent for CONTROL (honestly, I have no idea what does it really mean). He got his chance when KAOS (the bad guys) made a ruckus on wanting to blow up places and placing heavy interest with nuclear bombs. So Agent 86 (that's Max over there) along with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson) and the Chief (Alan Arkin) set out on a mission to stop KAOS from wrecking...erh... chaos...

Looking at the people who acted here, some hit the spot, while some don't. Dwayne was good as Agent 23, charming, good, witty and his acting really shows what tough guy really says. Alan did great as an old man wanting to kick young butt. Anne was basically doing an ok job if you asked, a bit pale in comparison with her previous performance in The Devil Wears Prada. While Steve, knowing how annoying and how mad he is, give a bit of a good job and sometimes not too good there. So, hits and misses.

The comedy is awesome. the jokes are really spot on. I'm a sucker for action, and also for comedy. But this movie doesn't really fuse the two well enough to make it a great treat. There are some parts that you wish the laughter should go on and not the action instead, but not vice versa. The plot is good at the start, but doesn't finish up too well in the end. The story does feel a bit loose at the last part, but still ok and perhaps forgettable in the end. Some camera takes could've really been improved, but overall its still an ok thing.

I see a good amount of reference to the old series, especially that shoe phone. Of course, the idea of a cell phone wasn't really accepted in the past, but it was a great tribute to see that shoe phone. haha. I was really hoping to use the posters of the faces being covered (perhaps except Steve's) for this post, but well that one should do. Ken Davitian, The Great Khali, Terry Crews, Masi Oka all made their appearances here and they look great as a supporting cast.

If you tell yourself that you want to knock yourself out watching a comedy with a little hint of action, here is that movie for you. But don't bank on having the loose ends tied, which actually did frustrate me a bit. But if you've enjoyed the trailers, I don't think you have much more to anticipate unless if you want to really see how foolish can a parody to James Bond be. So knock yourself out. :D

No More Heroes: Wii Game Review

Ever heard of someone toying with the idea of insanity in a game? Well, if you've met Suda-san, creator of the original Killer 7 series for Capcom, you'll feel that No More Heroes is exactly like being at home. Honestly, the psychoticness never ends. And that means its very good.

The game revolves on Travis Touchdown, the guy holding some kind of sword that emits light to it (in other words, a light saber. :P) He finds himself killing a some guy named Helter Skelter and ends up being number 11 in the rankings of Assassins. His goal, to only fight someone better than him, and end up as number one.

The game is very very different from any that I've encountered before, and it's a really great change to playing other standard action games (Remember God Hand? That was uber fun. :D). The game plays in third person view, and you walk around killing people. And somehow, also doing some side jobs like picking up coconuts, moving lawns and so on. Game reviewers have rated this game as purely psychotic as there is really no sense of playing this game, because it never made any sense. Besides, when was the last time a protagonist ever said he only wanted to be number 1? That is exactly where this game charms.

In battle, you'll fight using the A button. To stun opponents, go for the B trigger. The Wii-mote is waggled to do finishes, which are very very fun to do and look at the gore for it. The nunchunk is used to control Travis and also as a bonus for wrestling moves. Of course, it makes no sense again to do wrestling moves when you have a light saber right? But, it is a great move to use that when your opponent is on the floor, you can execute a downed kill by just pressing the A Button when it flashes on screen. And since its a light saber, you have to charge it when it goes low. What, you think it uses UV lighting? To charge it, erh, you need to waggle it left and right. But it also works if u, urh, follow what Travis is doing on screen. Do it to feel embarassed if you're a guy. :P The Wii-mote speaker is of good use as you can hear sounds of the light saber flashing, listen to the phone call by that psychotic lady, and other intersting little tunes that just works with the game.

The game centers most on killing, and that's it. It's fun to play some training games, buy some clothes, hunt for treasure, or cruise in the city with a big big big bike, and somehow it doesn't get boring.well, except for the bike part, but we'll get to that later. The boss battles range from great to awesomely challenging. Some are easy to figure, but I won't be surprised if you find yourself dying a few times, because the challenge is hard and worth it.

But, I should say that all good games do come to a bad point. The city feels, necessary and unnecessary. Necessary, because the treasure hunting and Lovikov balls make it so, and the un part, is because some locations are too darn far to travel. We also see lots of problems with the city as Travis could somehow skid to the left when he rams a car. And people don't splatter in blood. Man... The battle is spot on, yet some minor improvements could've been made on that baseball part.

The graphics are cel shaded. Just like Killer 7, Auto Modelista, Viewtiful Joe and so on. Yet, Suda-san wanted to use additional touches like pixelated graphics. And honestly, it looks awesomely charming. Ah, maybe I'm biased because I'm more of a pro pixel junkie, hehe. but still, even the sound sizzle as it reminds you of hearing tunes from the older days. Man, talk about nostalgic. The dialouge is good, but the lady needs to either be Japanese or French, and not both, because she sounds like a Japanese attempting to be French.

Overall, there are good action games, and then there's No More Heroes. This is obviously a good killing game that will last you for a good amount of time, along with being senseless and great to be certified for. If you could overlook the minor problems, you won't be surprised by landing yourself with the great game.

PS: Thanks to Corez for lending me the copy to review it. hehehe. :D Owh, and if you do get the game and want to get to the motel early from somewhere far away it, just fly into the river or sea, you'll get there back easily. :P

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Movie Review


Indy Indy Indy. You might think this is a movie for old bags, since the last one was on the end of the 80's. But I should really make it clear that not only this movie is a great tribute the old 3 movies, but this one actually does some parts better. Suffice to say, it's still money well spent.

The gyst is this, its 1957 and Indy gets kidnapped by Nazi's (Again, the theme doesn't run from there.). The Nazi's are very determined to get their hands on the crystal skull to harness the power of mind controlling and thingamajigs. When Indy found out, he knew that the skull has to be returned to its rightful place. Now, I won't spoil the story anymore but suffice to say its a get-to-the-finish-line-asap kind of movie.

The characters are great. Indy is still Indy. Still the same old scared-of-snakes-man. Haha. Shia Le Bouf did good as Mutt Williams, a greaser who somehow has a fond knowledge of archeology, something you don't see when a man loves his bike more than him running around scavenging. And then there's Cate Blanchett, who I really thought was a Russian chick, but that impression didn't last really long actually. She looks a bit weak in this movie, compared to Elizabeth though. But nonetheless, she's not bad in this one.

Now as I said earlier, this movie is more of a good tribute to the older ones. Why? There are really great references that can be had to the older movies, but that only happens in the earlier parts. Later on, you'd get shocked on a few more surprises, which should be something that the older guys would remember. hehe.

In all of the Indy movies, this one couldn't compare to how fun The Last Crusade was, but it stands a bit higher than the other 2. Though I'm a bit biased that I favored The Temple of Doom more due to more humor and a witty kid, I'd say this one is better anyways. This movie is somehow, a bit far off from the things that I thought. The ending would make you feel a bit surprised if you've been following Indy's past expedites. But at least, this is much much better than telling yourself to watch National Treasure: Book Of Secrets.

So go ahead and have a blast of watching an older man with his fedora hat, and, the whip. You'd definitely be surprised what a part time "teacher" does with his life. :D

The Forbidden Kingdom: Movie Review

Ok, in all honesty, just like a lot of people, I had really high hopes for this movie. Of course, 2 legends of Kung Fu, and what should you get? Great action and story for it. Apparently... Both doesn't apply. Well, not at all completely.

The movie shows about the journeys of 4 people on a mission to free the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong. After being imprisoned, the Monkey King's staff got lost, and somehow, with no knowledge, transported to America, guarded by an old Chinese. The part that the kid, Jason (Michael Angarano) gets entangled in the journey is when robbers came in the store that housed the staff trying to steal money, ends up on his hand and gets transported to Old China. Heck, no one even knew how he ended there, and the people around said he somehow fell into the river unconscious. Interestingly, Jason managed to bring US Dollars over there. And he had a change of clothes. Along the way, he meets Lu Yan/ Old Man (Jackie Chan), Golden Sparrow (Liu Yifei) and the Silent Monk (Jet Li) and the journey moves forward.

So that's pretty much the synopsis of the whole thing. Probably that's enough of what you need to know already. Because if you try to figure out what's going on, trust me that you will have a headache. We have no idea how in the world the folks there talk English, because they could still talk Chinese among each other, and Jason wouldn't know. So, whats up with that? And then, the scenes are, well, somehow copying from other Chinese movies, of the past of course. So, I really hope you don't tell yourself to watch the movie to see how successful it is in the end. I can even spoil for you in the end if you want.

But if there are some worthy parts, well, little only should be had here. I think you'll love some of the Kung Fu scenes, but if you ask me, I prefer it better if Jackie had choreographed it instead. Yuen Wo Ping doesn't really live up to my standards. The fight scene between Jackie and Jet is great, with a little humor in the end. The amazing display I felt for, and this may sound a little biased, is that Jackie displayed Drunken Fist, after so many years. Other common and known styles of Kung Fu were shown here also. But for me, the only thing I find best is that fight scene between 2 great legends. That's probably it.

So, if you still want to watch it, sleep through most of it, and then just watched the fight scenes. That's the only thing that does justice to the whole movie. And I must say, I really feel its not worth it for this to be on DVD or Blu Ray. It's a big shame on how this movie turned out, despite the high hopes. Well, you've been warned.

A How-To Guide on Buying a Next Gen Console

I wanted to make this blog to be informational to all. Regardless of what they like and they might not like, so I decided that in the recent times, besides reviews of movies and games, you'll be seeing other informational things that might help you out. So, here it goes.

My Guide on How to Buy a Next Gen Console.

If you've followed the trails on buying a console, or the old PS2 is starting to lose its strength, then maybe this place would be the best stop for you to get a peek on what you should consider on. We have 3 heavy weights, the PS3 (Successor of PS2), the Xbox 360, (Successor of Xbox), and the Nintendo Wii (Successor of the Gamecube). Lets get all of that into detail.

The PS3

In long, its called the Playstation 3. This is Sony's premier console and sports the most expensive of prices in the world. Well, you have 2 models for this currently in production. The 40 GB version, includes a 40GB hard disk drive (HDD) to save up on your game saves, or to download more games from the internet. It has 2 USB ports, and is not backwards compatible (BC). BC would mean that it can't play old PS2 games, but PSX/PS1 games are just fine. It has a built-in Blu Ray Player to play all the Blu Ray goodness that you want, and not to mention great games for it too. The 80 GB has a few extras on the BC side, where it plays PS2 games, but depending on the region of the console (meaning, only US consoles can play US PS2 games, and not Japanese games. This one, can't be unlocked.), the HDD is 80 GB and 4 USB Ports from my knowledge. Both have Wifi built and an HDMI Port to link up to attain higher definition of picture quality.

The Xbox 360

Microsoft wanted a piece of the gaming world, and this is their answer. It has a few versions, coming from the Acrade, the Premium, and the Elite pack. The Arcade is by far the cheapest, having included a few arcade games from Xbox Live Arcade and no hard drive. Even controllers not wireless. While the other two have HDD's of 20 gb and 120gb. The Elite version separates itself best with a HDMI port, that allows for higher definition gaming.

The Nintendo Wii

This was a shocked. First announced to be Revolution, it has its name changed later in the process of building the console. People have been criticizing its name for hilarious purposes, but who's laughing now when it is actually the hottest console to fly off the market? The Wii has only 1 color, built in 512mb storage, utilizes a remote and nunchunk that responds to movements (Or motion control), and really it is fun. the cheapest among the three consoles (But not in Europe where the Xbox 360 Arcade is cheaper by 20 Euros if not mistaken).

There's your brief, now comes the deciding factors.

Games

What is a console without games? For Sony, its a Blu Ray Movie player. For Wii, its a MP3 player, slideshow and so many small little things that I can't really remember. And Xbox 360, I am not sure at all. But in respect with games, each and every one of the consoles are bound to have an exclusive. Lets put them in respect.

-Sony PS3-
Hurm, this boils down to a few only. In truth, I can only note some games that are actually very very worthy of play and collect. Such titles are Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Warhawk, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Future Destruction, GT 5 Prologue and Resistance: Fall of Man. These titles, well, GT5 is beautiful, Uncharted is 2007's game of the year for PS3 and Warhawk was quite good utilising the six axis. Basically, that's it. Ignoring DLC games for the PS3, that's basically just it for the PS3 gamers to feel happy about their exclusive. In fact, even Haze is a disappointment.

-Xbox 360-
Ah, this is something where the 360 excels on. They have some of the best games, and graphics are great too. Playing Gears of War was beautiful, Mass Effect was a great RPG, Ninja Gaiden 2 is beautifully awesome, and so many more exclusive. definitely one of the best platforms of 2007 to have great games for the hardcore gamer crowd.

-Nintendo Wii-
Hurm, this platform on its own, hosted the game of the year for 2007. No doubt Super Mario Galaxy has made its name on to the hall of fame, but lets not forget Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Brothers, and also Wii Fit. If you've noticed, i've only talked about Nintendo's First party titles. While the 3rd party ones, erh, you've No More Heroes (stunningly satisfying), Rayman Raving Rabbids. that's how much I can remember. Honestly.

Despite all 3 platforms have exclusives, lets not forget the factors of multi platform games. GTA 4, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, and others have made the platforms more like comparisons on which one gets the better edge. For Malaysians, investing on a console on its own is already tough enough. So those kind of comparisons make it much harder for us to look into, truth be told.

Online Capability
This is actually one of the showstoppers for the 3 platforms. This one truly breaks it, and so lets talk about them in specific one by one.

-PS3-
It should be noted that the PS3 is just in. And the online functionality, is not bad really. Go to the new sleek store, and download demos, games at cheap prices, movie trailers at 720p and so on. This portal is good, but somehow, it lacks the edge that the 360 has. This interface really feels common, and basically, that's pretty much it for the store. Online matching, well, it feels tough and rough for this part, as some users have been having trouble having friends to link up to and play with. But still, its good.

-Xbox 360-
Hands down, the best online service. Hardest part, is that you have to subscribe to it. To people, it may look cheap, but when you compare with the PS3, it's definitely better to just stick to the PS3 either way. But, if you really insist on paying for it, you'll be rewarded with some of the best functionalities. Differ who you want to play with, choose the list, and make it very simple that playing with friends has never felt better before. I should say, that it is really annoying to suddenly see who's online on the upper middle part of the screen. Couldn't they have done something like Yahoo on the bottom right side instead?

-Nintendo Wii-
This is a bit tedious. Ok, you have codes when you play games. Fine. But how about codes for all the games that you own. Makes it tough for you to remember ey? Furthermore, you have to remember the codes that your friends has. Why can't we just check with the online service if the guy has the game or not?

Controllers
Ah, this should be worth mentioning. Serious. From revolutionary to plain old copying, the fun never stops when it comes with a controller.

-Nintendo Wii-
Hands down for this one, this true revolution. Ever held a TV remote before? yeah play the Wii with that. It's almost similar and I admire how all the buttons seem to be at the right places. It never fails to amuse me how wireless technology has already been utilized for a new way of playing games. Slash people with the Wii Remote, shoot with it, do motions with it, its definitely a whole new way to play. Owh, and didn't I say Rumble is also included?

-Xbox 360-
I think this one shows what improvements are made of. Where do we find the fact that we can have our thumbs rest normally, compared to a Sony controller? This controller is nice, with a huge home button for in game media bar access. But this control sheme doesn't really suit the Japanese I believe. Its a break from the old conventional D Pad style of playing and controlling the game. Rumble is there, but I heard the battery depletes out quite fast? At least its not using AA batteries.

-PS3-
Huh? Honestly, nothing has changed. First it was the banana controller, then it was the same old design. The Six Axis didn't have rumble on it, but the Dual Shock 3 does, and its a blessing for Sony players all over. But, if you know Sony, they unveiled motion sensing technology when the final build was almost imminent to launch. Honestly, nothing change from the old. Hey, why fix something when it's not broken?

So, based on all that, do we have a final verdict?

Final Verdict

I would like to say that you shouldn't actually feel any wrong having any of the 3 consoles. They have their strengths, and they have their weaknesses. Say if you have like enough money to only buy yourself one console in your lifetime (though I don't suggest you do so), I will list down here what are the consoles that you might like. (Judging will be done based on features and games along with all other considered factors)

Nintendo Wii
Imagine the fact that until now, the unit is very hard and remains so badly seen to be obtained. I am not kidding. This is really 1 tough console to buy in the US alone. People wait in lines, and now, since its almost 2 years already the console is available, people still can't secure one and just pick it up from shelves. Its cheap, games are fun, really fun. The console now suits more to the casual players. Casual meaning those who aren't hardcore gamers that kill and slash people or whatever shooting stuff. These people do puzzles, enjoy moving their body while playing sports, and making sure lots of sweat come out from your body. The games are diverse, but the library feels lacking towards the hardcore gamers.

PS3
Wow, who wouldb've thought the console would be so expensive? That's the problem. Coming out at 600 USD was a total pain. Hardly the games show any promise, but some are still awesome as hell. So, cheap Blu Ray player and game machine? yeah, why not. Its basically the cheapest Blu Ray player in Malaysia, so its a great buy to begin with. Metal Gear Solid 4 has just been released, so I do think we should look at how awesome the game is (Considering the fact that a whole lot of people have found it to be awesome also.) But looking at future prospects, I really hope PS3 stands tall.

Xbox 360
I must say, this is a shocker. I somehow grew to become a Sony fanboy, only noticing that fanboyism is nothing but a waste of time. For the hardcore gamer, this is your console. I should say that the PS3 is also giving stiff competition, because the PS3 is getting ground now. But with a great online service, packing library of games, you can't go wrong having lots of fun in this console, especially for the hardcore gamer. But does the US company know what the Japanese likes and wants? I should say lets wait for September to come. That month begins the awesome time of games fighting for ground once more as who will take crown of the biggest sales of the holiday season. For the hardcore gamer, this one is awesome for you. You won't regret playing Gears of War, Mass Effect and so many other sweet titles coming your way.

On my personal opinion, I bought the Wii first because it is a whole new way of playing. Even playing No More Heroes was so much fun, almost on par with God of War too. I'm trying my best for a PS3 next year, as my console ticket is now out of use. 1 console per year, that is the rule. But I'm really having fun now with my Wii, and hope to see Rock Band and my PS3 soon. hehe.

Iron Man: Movie Review


This is Iron Man. And that is the poster for it. I liked this one better than any other poster though. Looking at the glow, it looks cool.

So lets get to the point, the movie itself. I have only a small background of watching Iron Man cartoons when I was smaller, and I must say I like the part in the cartoon where Tony wore his armor in an unrealistic way where its only half of the armor looking from the front, and it surrounds the whole body. The one Jon Favreu emphasized was more logical and practical. So, I'd say the movie was still good either way.

*Spoiler*

This was a movie without any romance seen. And you thought Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) would hit a fling, but this superhero movie escaped from that. I had actually thought, through the trailers that Marvel would do it again. Guess I got it wrong.

*End of Spoiler*

Having Robert Downey Jr. is great in this movie. Its exactly how I wanted it, but, there are some things that I might be skeptical on. I believe the Tony in the cartoons and comics, was a much more gentlemen after donning his armor. Perhaps in the beginning of this trilogy (hopefully), they show Tony as a genius, and playboy-ish time of a man. Very accurate in fact that he deserves the role. Gwyneth was great as Miss Potts, showing how loyal she is to her boss, and Jeff Bridges makes a very stunning example of how to be a nutcase bent on wanting total domination.

This movie is great, even with the changes of the real core story (The real story happened in Vietnam, but this one took its turn somewhere else near Gulmira). I had hoped for more of Iron Man being shown in the movie, but the action sticks to where it counts.

I'd say this is Marvel's one of a kind movie, that will be going head to head with a brilliant cast of movies this summer (In the US that is). I've talked Speed Racer and Indy is coming soon. Expect that review out of me later when I get the chance.

Speed Racer: A Review

I went to the movies a few hours earlier. Speed Racer just got out. So, I went mad before my finals, to just get a show on, and relax abit more.

Here's what I think. Fasten your seat belt, its going to be a wild ride. You can see drifts, jumps, and car symphony in the making. The background, while most of it is in green screen, still shows some sets that are brightly colored. To me, this is definitely a tribute to the old cartoon of the yesteryears. You won't be disappointed at all watching this.

Emile did a good job in his acting, Rain's English is impressive, and the cast really shows what Speed Racer can truly offer. Of course, the main star is actually the Mach 5, Speed's car. The tracks are awesome and the atmosphere is tremendous. It felt like I was driving the ride, jumping and spinning all over to make sure I get through the end of the race (Movie I mean).

There are some flaws though, as I don't see the need for a kung fu part in the movie. That part could've been better.

Well, that's the gripe I seem to only have. When this movie comes out in Blu Ray, pair it with a 1080p tv and you will want to watch too many times until you remember back the whole theme song of the old Speed Racer.

Suffice to say, GO SPEED RACER GO!

Welcome Back

This place used to be about rhymes and poetry. I liked to write what I liked to tell. And here's the place best for it. But I've neglected this place for a very long time now, in the wake of utilising Friendster instead.

So, I have come back. What will be of this blog? Lets say that I intend to bring this blog to higher heights. Who knows what it will bring. I hope my blog friends will link this to their page, and they'll view me once in a while.

I hope I'll be filling this up more often. Kind of need to juggle a lot of things together in this time. Especially in the wake of finals coming soon. So, here's to reopening this place once more. And lets get the party started.

Hanya ikhtiar yang aku mampu.

Ya Allah ya Tuhanku
Kau lah dimana aku pinta pertolongan
Kau lah juga dimana datangnya ujian
Hambamu ini dapat merasakan bahangnya
di mana kau menguji setiap hamba2 mu di dunia ini
Namun, ku hanya mampu panjatkan ikhtiar ku kepada mu ya Allah.
Aku tidak mampu memberi sebarang usaha dan pertolongan
Namun terimalah Ikhtiar ku ini Ya Allah.
Terima lah saja, kerana ujian mu yang mencabar.
jangan lah ya Allah
jangan lah kau mencabut nyawa hamba mu.
sungguhpun aku hanya seorang hamba mu
dan tidak layak untuk menberi cadangan tidak kepada mu
namun kau lah penentu segalanya
Kau lah penentunya.
Inilah di antara ujian yang paling mencabar.
Paling mencabar di hadapi oleh beberapa insan.
dan juga termasuk ku juga Ya Allah.
Aku sedar, diriku juga diuji.
Namun, aku hanya memberi ikhtiar ini.
terima lah doa ku ya Allah.
Sembuhkan lah penyakit hamba2 mu ya Allah.
Yang datangnya bukan sahaja dari hati.
Aku merasa bahangnya ya Allah.
kesakitannya juga turut dirasai.
Kemurungannya.
kesedihan.
jelas kelihatan dari muka, dan jelas kelihatan dalam hati.
Jika mampu,
jangan lah kau cabut nyawa hamba mu itu.
Buat seketika lagi.
Jangan lah ya Allah.
Panjangkan lah lagi umurnya
Seperti mana kau panjangkan umur ayahku.
Panjangkan lah umurnya ya Allah.
Sehingga ke cucu cicit.
namun, jika tidak boleh
aku tidak berdaya ya Allah.
tiada kuasa dalam diri hambu ini untuk menghalang mu ya Allah.
Aku memahami yang kau lebih menyintai dia
Dan aku terima semua ini dengan keampunan mu ya Allah.
Terima lah ampun ku ya Allah.
Terima lah kasih ku ya Allah.
Sesungguhnya, kau lah yang kami mohon pertolongan
dan hanya kau sahaja yang mampu menolong.
Aku tetap ingin berdoa buat dia.
Agar dia dipanjangkan hidupnya lagi.
Panjangkan selama mana yang boleh ya Allah.
Demi anak2 dan isterinya juga ya Allah.
lakukan lah seperti mana kau panjangkan nyawa ayahku.
Hanya kau yang mampu.
hanya kau yang mampu.
Salam kasih dari ku buat mu ya Allah.
Ampunkan lah hamba mu itu, serta hamba mu ini.
Segala pujian buat mu, segala cinta buat mu, segala kasih buat mu.
Kau lah yang adil, kau lah yang mengasih.
Amin.

Buat insan-insan yang diuji, termasuk lah diri ku ini. Amin.

Dua Budak yg jiwang.....

Dua Budak

Laki:
Yo ader apa dengan cinta
Perlukah kita fikir tentang cinta
Gila ka?
Nanti kita jd cam orang gila
Org ramai label kita masuk Hospital Bahagia
Tp fikir juga, sampai bila lg
Kita patut bersama tetapi ko menolak lagi
Sekali, takkan aku nak jd macam ini?
Sorang sorang takder teman SE-JA-TI
Aku menanti, hingga kau dapat tentukan buat kami
Hubungan pelik ini
Ko tahu yg aku lamer sungguh menanti
Cinta kita yang tak mungkin berbelah bahagi!

*Chorus
Kau yg aku suka, Seorang sahaja
Takder orang lain dpt ganti apa yg kau ada
Terima lah ku sebagai temanmu
Bukan tuk sementara
Tetapi buat slalu, dan selama-lamanya!

Pompuan:
Wajarkah? Patutkah?
Kita bersatu, agar hidup kita akhirnya menentu
Tapi masa, tidak cukup bagi hati ini
Memikirkan jawapan yg patut diberi
Lamer kau menderita
Dan aku pula tak sanggup melihat kau dalam duka
Kerna ku telah tentu saper aku suka
Tp, halangan masih terbuka
Aku perlu menutupnya
Demi untuk kita bersama

Chorus

Laki:
Aku sedar, pada mula kau ragu
Dan aku juga tahu
Dahulu susah untuk kita bersatu
Ko hilang diwaktu aku perlukan mu.
2 tahun aku menunggu
Akhirnya ku temui semula teman sejiwaku
Aku tak peduli aper yg bakal berlaku
Kerna aku telah peroleh dirimu
Namun keputusan itu
Hanya terletak padamu

Pompuan:
Tak sangka juga
Hanya kerana insan yg tak seberapa
Kau menunggu terlalu lama
Maafkan ku
Kerna menyukarkan hidup mu
Membuatkan kau tidak menentu
Maafkan ku
Kerna penungguan mu
Demi diriku yang tidak benilai ini
Maka aku telah tentukan juga
Yg kau lah segalanya
Yg kita akan menjadi teman sehati sejiwa
Yg aku telah menduga
Yg akan ku hidup bersama
Buat selamanya

Hati tak terkata

Luluh hat! merasa!
Luluh dan gundah d! dalam hat!
Kenapa aku beg!N!?
Aku menyed!hkan d!r!
Dun!a t!dak memerlukan hat! sep!
Tang!san tak dapat mengatas!
Kesak!tan j!wa d!rasa! send!r!
Aku terlalu r!sau
Suaraku jad! sengau
Na!k demam dan sak!t aku meracau
Patutkah aku d!layan dengan teruk
Aku hanya mampu terperuk
S!al baga! beruk
Aku menjad!
Orang yang tak d!!ng!n!
Pengacau semesta t!dak mampu men!ngg! d!r!
Salah d!r! t!dak mampu d!maaf!
Mahupun d!ampun!
Walaupun betapa banyak ku cuba
mengubah nas!b send!r!
Namun aku tetap yang jahat
!a sudah terpahat
D!bukt! ket!ka rapat
D!cac! sementara sempat
Aku hanya pereka pu!s!
T!ada yang akan faham luahan hat!
Amarah terhadap perkara tak past!
Namun !a menghantu!
!a mengabur! pandangan kasar dan jelas ku !n!
Aku d!mot!fkan menyak!tkan hat!
Mengh!na emos! dan memerl!
Aku memarah! d!r!
Tap! apa gunanya?
Aku tetap tak mampu menanggungnya
J!ka mas!h mampu d!maaf! tuan pu!s! b!cara
AKu akan bersyukur
Buat selamanya.

On different grounds...

! a!nt here for no ch!ck
!'m here for the cl!ck
!'m stump l!ke !ce p!ck
!'m smooth n so sl!ck!
!'m far from my home
!'m all on my own
! stand on top a dome
Make dreams, not drones
!'m here to acqu!re knowledge
!'m so shy !N th!s college
!'m force to take pledges
So far there's no cases!
feel the need for the grudges
Cuz th!Ngs are bound by ledges
Homes!ck !s f!Ne
Love !s so bl!nd
Why must ! f!nd
A gurl that's so f!Ne
! probably requ!re frens
s!nce !'m alone need!Ng frens
! got some n ! can blend
w!th gurls or guys who could mend
my house !s really hot
my body feels so hot
! know !"m really hot
G!rls are call!Ng ! sure have got
Th!Ngs are great ! know !'ll part
G!rls come !N green, yellow, black, red n blue
!"m a fellow w!th constant rule
l!fe !s a hassle !t a!n't no b!tch
The pres !s good, but some are b!tches
Who th!nk for herself
sk!pp!Ng her p!tches
They judge me by the cover
Act!ng like leeches
suck!ng my blood money, n r!ches
! feel so great, n feel!Ng so r!te
Cuz !'m good, great n so l!ght
Feel the gaze, breeze n sun l!ght
! got a ch!k ! want to b!te!
h!h!.

Never ask too much, just be content with the little...

2 years ago
! dec!ded to enroll
!N what would never b the b!ggest m!stake
That ! have ever told
! went to the l!brary
Opt for a l!brar!an
REturned back !N the pos!t!on
Of the most well known samar!tan
At pr!me school
Th!Ngs were never too cool
!'m always mocked
Never stopped act!ng l!ke a fool
Back to the secondary
Story
! met a cute ! almost called her honey
We had n!ce d!gs, best laughs, tears and sm!Les that last
For a moment, ! thought th!ngs would go on a blast
! remembered
What my frens would have told me
That ur the testee
And l!fe's a b!g mystery
We plan, He dec!de
They were cool, that's alr!te
But th!ngs were hot
Not ton!te
She got mad and she threw me of the l!te
! never knew what went wrong
Or mayb ! was meant for the wrong
PErson, !Mpress!Ons are purely co!Nc!dence
When we keep on search!Ng for the mask
That's just leg!tament
!'ll keep search!ng
! can never stop! don't want to end my l!fe just as a h!p hop
! wanted a fren
No
Maybe just someone to call and lend
A help!Ng hand and purely ! do not want those who pretend
A guy or gurl
Doesn't matter Who ! Would end
Just that someone ! trust
And does not backstab me !N the end
What goes
!t'll flow
We're pawns
!t shows! know what m!ght be g!ven or unfold
A story done but never told
!'m glad
! found not only just the one
But maybe two !s enuff
For a fren and a gurl would be tough
But L!fe's l!ke that
Don't ask for too much
Or soon regret that
What you say mayb a way to get away
From real!ty or mayb just a s!ngle day
! felt that 2 !s enuff
Mayb 4 could get me tough
1 gurl and 3 guys
!t's for sure
! know the mean!Ng of
Enuff

It's not humanity, it's just me

Whats happened to the world today?
Death tolls and k!dnappers wreak havok today
Human!ty cr!es !N var!Ous ways
but none took act!On and let them decay
Rhymers make rhymes make l!ke th!s each day
Harass!ng human!ty w!thout a quest!on for you to say
Turn the tables let me see u play
5 m!nutes later ur !n a camp cheer!ng
"Who the f'ck are u to say?"
!'m also a human
An honest rhymer
! try to bu!Ld w!th pure craze
! just hope that u wont cry and gaze
!ts just s!mple
! bash all human!ty
Not just terror!st
but also pla!N soc!ety
th!s !ncludes me
for ! am happy
as myself ! could try to sm!le and b happy
although that was not suppose to b
d!ff!cult th!Ngs ponder on !nsan!ty
my agony
noth!Ng matches what has gotten !N to me
! go for drugs
Yet ! f!Nd not 1 pol!cy
guns be!Ng sold not based on hypocracy
but to show off and rob money
to show power !ts not even me
but to k!ll people
thats what ! want to c
For me
Accompl!sh!ng task are not to b greed
but to take matters slow and
po!nt where's thee?
! know the world w!ll go up to me
all ! can do now !ts wa!t for that to b
then ! can blame my f!Ngers from mak!Ng th!s p!ece
and then !'ll blame my m!Nd for remember!ng H!M
! feel cold and !'m down
!s human!ty look!Ng at me down?
! hope so
cuz !m not the one who would bow down
ask!ng forg!veness !s not what ! had around
but stab a kn!fe at the back !s wat ! had r!te now
Dont you dare to look down
some1 would try to rebound
and others would take not!ce of th!s rhyme
and make act!ons r!te th!s t!me around

The ramblings of an old fool.

These are the rambl!ngs of an old fool
These are the words of a tempered fool.
These are the sentences of a wannabe cool.
And these are the phrases of an !d!ot!c fool.

!'m old now,What have you got to say about me now?
! asked you to pray, but look who's sm!l!ng now?
! asked you to learn about the ways of l!fe.
Yet you k!cked !t as!de and dec!de to l!ve l!fe.
What you gonna do !f you don't have a job?
A job at least !t has concern w!th h!p hop
A l!fe w!th no job !s not a bounce or a lob
U better pray u don't match a corn cob
! beg of you not to l!ve l!fe up
But to rem!n!sce and help others stand, up!
!ts not too b!g
Nor !t !s too small
!ts the most least
That you could do for all
Don't let your parents suffer
As they ra!sed you for the better.
as they helped youto b an ach!ever
as they gu!de you towards happ!ness forever
L!sten plz to me for wat ! have to say
!'d always hoped that you start chang!ng today
Make the world better for us all to stay.
!t'll make a d!fference ! what we shall say.
Don't run away
L!fe !s always here to stay
Problems can be eas!ly sorted out w!th a frens way
Even !f ur fam!ly wreaks havoc !N every s!ngle way.
Ur frens are always there for u and they stay.
Follow God, and H!S rel!g!on
Un!te and stand tall to form a leg!On
That can real!se all where l!fe !s worth a ment!On.

Aih, i'm not the type who types...

Seriously, i'm not the guy who's goes for typing. But sadly, i enjoy rhyming, which is also a branch towards typing. How is that???
