Just movies

Yeah I am too inspiration-less that I thought I just talk about some movies.

A month ago I was itching to watch Walter Mitty and American Hustle.

Well.. watched both.
Mitty is nice and visually it reminds me of Life of Pi.
But it wasn't particularly inspirational.
Somehow I love "yes man" more than Mitty.

As for the American Hustle.. the actors were simply brilliant.
Christian Bale owned it. Big time.
Amy Adams had to compete with her cleavage in most of the screens but was otherwise solid.
We all love the mockingjay girl don't we? But having watched Silver Linings Playbook, I was rather disappointed by Jen Lawrence and Bradley Cooper here. They did great job but I enjoy their performance or characters in Silver Linings so much more.
And that's rare because in a straight man way, I admire Bradley Cooper, a lot!

So all in all.. the two big movies didn't really impress that much.
Where are the "Slumdog Millionaires" and "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" of 2014?
Unpretentious, inspirational.

The last movie that left me with that satisfied feeling is Frozen.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
