Movie Review: V for Vendetta (2005)

8.5/10 My all time favorite!

This movie needs no review but its one of the greatest wake up call for everyone who has watched it. It carries with it empowerment to educate the modern society today.

Just wanted to share some quotes from the movie which have made an impact in my life:

"Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici". "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe".

"You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it".

"...A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world".

"But regardless of what weapons they try to use to effect silence, words will always retain their power. Words are the means to meaning, and for some, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country".

"I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence". 

"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, ...and ideas are bulletproof".

"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!".

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people".

"More than 400 years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of government remain unknown to you, then I suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked".

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. 

-Joseph Conrad

Human are capable of doing every evil that the mind can think of. Greed, selfishness and foolishness are the essence that always lead mankind to its own extinction. 

Greed will made a person desire for more, regardless of the consequences that their actions might caused, selfishness is what matters. Fool is what they are, as they are blinded by their selfish desire, they failed to see the future that they creating is a future of their own condemnation.

Nothing will changed when people are driven by fear and ignorance. 

You only get to live once. So be brave enough to stand up for what is right and what is for the better of your children's future. There's power in numbers, power in unity and power in voices. Act as you know how and lets changed this nation!

Rules that Breaks Me

With this post, I hope My Workout Diary will be back on track again for every Saturday. I need to constantly remind myself and to keep on encouraging myself so that I won't get too far off the track. In order to achieve my target for 2012, certain rules has to be applied.

#1. No more computer after 12am. (So that I can sleep early and wake up early)

#2. No more food after 7pm.

#3. MUST workout HARD at least 4 times a week.

Simple basic rules that I've been trying to follow for so long, but still once awhile I find it hard to stick to them. Human are creature of habits and old habits die hard. I can't believe it too me so long, and still trying to get rid of the old habits in order to adapt to these 3 simple rules.

Lose weight, getting ready for 10k, half marathon and mount Kinabalu are my main aims for physical achievement this year. Have to work super hard to achieve it!

Happy workout my friend =)

My New Found Love - Wall Climbing

It's not entirely physical, but its all mental.

Hey people! Greetings be with you. I hope everyone is having a great day. If you are not, try to stay positive and make the best out of your situation. Carpe Diem!

If you followed my status update on Facebook or Twitter, you'll know that recently I'm really in to wall climbing. Yup, I'm already starting to like wall climbing now. I even spend my Valentine's Day wall climbing with a few friends.

I have to thank Kay and Grace for the opportunity to really get to know wall climbing. They have been really kind and patient enough to teach me and guide me when I was still a noob. Well, I'm not really a pro yet, but at least I can manage a bit by myself now.

I even managed to teach a friend of mine how to belay so that I can climb too instead of just belaying them when they are climbing, haha. This is a really fun and challenging sport. Hopefully I can be good enough to take it to the next level - rock climbing.

Have you tried wall climbing before?

Enjoy your weekend people! =)

Movie Review: Hot Fuzz (2007)

Bloody good movie! 8/10

Awesomely great British action comedy movie. It's amazes me with the brilliant script, characters and story line.

Works because they set out to make a faithful genre picture just as equally as a comedy. The film is even funnier because they never sacrifice plot or character for a laugh.

-Ian Buckwalter

Until next time, see you around my friend =)

Happy Valentine's Day 2012

by Daniel Chiam

Oh hey wonderful and lovely people. Happy Valentine's day =)

If you managed to pull off a few moves on Desperation Day, I bet you'll be out on a date with someone today. haha. Anyway, date or no date, there's no reason for us not to seize the day and make the best out of it.

Through out the years, I've written a few post related to relationships. Either its for between lovers, co-worker, friendship or family members, I really hope it helps to make a difference in your life. I'm not a love guru nor am I an expert, but I'm merely just like to observe and learn from the resources around me. I find human's social interaction and behavior really interesting.  

Well, here's among my favorite in room8five under the relationship tag:

# Relationship is like a Bank Account

# Love at First Sight

# Becoming Mr. Romantic

# Friends First and Not Target

What's yours by the way? =)

February 13: Desperation Day

by Daniel Chiam

Barney Stinson the Guru of Awesomeness

I've come to know 'Desperation Day' from Barney Stinson in HIMYM. It's logic, make sense and that's why I'm sharing it here in room8five today :D

February 14 is Valentine's Day, where all the couples are out there having romantic dinner and intimate time with each other. As for some of the singles ladies (and men), they felt the need of going out for a date on Valentine's Day also.

They have the sense that it is not normal to go through Valentine's Day alone and without a date. So, when Vday is approaching and there is none yet to be going out on a date with them, they starts to become desperate for one, and will be willing to settle with whoever that asked them out for a date. 

Thus February 13 is known as Desperation Day (for the singles)!

I know it may sound silly for some, but you can't ignore the fact that there will be people who is desperate for a date on Vday. So if you still have some of the oranges from Chap Goh Mei, why not try to give the person a call and see if they wanted to go out for a date on Valentine's Day with you or not, haha (provided if you are looking for a date also), if they are desperate, chances are they will say "yes".

PS: Try at your own risk. No success rate is guaranteed as this is something I learned from a tv series xD
