The end* - The Beatles

11 years, 22 movies. It has finally come to an end.

This is me!!! True story. Started watching as a single - finished it as a family man. But i watched Endgame alone.

It took so long to tell the story - never have been done before! I'm glad i witnessed it.

*From their Abbey Road album.

How low can you go?* - Chubby Checker

A view of St. Sebastian's Church damaged in blast in Negombo, north of Colombo, Sri Lanka, Sunday, April. More than hundred were killed and hundreds more hospitalised with injuries from eight blasts that rocked churches and hotels in and just outside of Sri Lanka's capital on Easter Sunday.

Angry. Outraged. Saddened. Humans are proving again and again that the depths of our depravity and evil knows no limits. To kill the innocents as they go and worship their God... I take comfort knowing that unrepentant wicked people will be made to pay for their sins one day.

*This 60s song was actually about the limbo dance.

Impossible* - Whitney Houston

But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was IMPOSSIBLE for death to keep its hold on him. Acts 2:24

Blessed Easter!

*This song is from the Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical, Cinderella.

Legend* - Twenty One Pilots

Every generation has a legend.



The saga comes to an end. I can't wait till Christmas for this!!!

*Taken from their 5th album, this song is about the lead singer's grandfather.

She's amazing* - Lionel Ritchie

Oh man - I've wasted the past hour or two just because of this girl!!! AWESOME!


Can't stop watching her play. Can't remember when I've cried as a result of seeing and listening to something so good. Just moved me to tears!!! I guess some of the tears were also because of the resignation that after all these years of playing, I'll never reach close to such a level.

I suppose I can get my daughters to watch her and hope they'll be able to play like this in the future...

*One of his lessor known songs, released in 2004.

Doesn't really matter* - Janet Jackson

"It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart". Ecclesiastes 7:2

I find this verse so true. I attended the funeral of a friend's father recently. It wasn't fun. It was sobering. And it really brings a lot of things into perspective. Death as the verse say is the destiny of all. No matter who we are, how rich we are, how clever we are (and since I'm in Malaysia, let's bring race into the matter - what race we are), one thing that is certain is that we all will die (or be raptured up to be with Christ when he returns). Remembering and realising that, a lot of things do not matter much anymore - like winning that competition or buying that thing or getting the approval of people who do not really care or watching the final installment of Avengers or Star Wars or eating at that Michelin Star restaurant. Instead, one will realise the importance of family, of true friends, of spiritual matters. I don't think anyone at their deathbed will regret not spending enough time at the office but many will regret not spending more time with their family.

So what if I won't get to see the Northern Lights, or drive a Lamborghini or watch Liverpool play live at Anfield or act in a musical at West End or perform live on stage with Queen (for the Queen!)? What's more important is that I spend time with my wife, my two girls, my aged mom and make sure that they know how much I love them.

*This song was recorded for the soundtrack of Nutty Professor 2.

This I promise you* - NSYNC

I was at a friend's father funeral today and was looking at the tombstones in the cemetery. I came across one of a girl who passed away when she was 9 years old and it had this written on it:-

Yohanes 14:1-4
"Janganlah gelisah hatimu; percayalah kepada Allah, percayalah juga kepada-Ku. Di rumah Bapa-Ku banyak tempat tinggal. Jika tidak demikian, tentu Aku mengatakannya kepadamu. Sebab Aku pergi ke situ untuk menyediakan tempat bagimu. Dan apabila Aku telah pergi ke situ dan telah menyediakan tempat bagimu, Aku akan datang kembali dan membawa kamu ke tempat-Ku, supaya di tempat di mana Aku berada, kamu pun berada. Dan ke mana Aku pergi, kamu tahu jalan ke situ."

What a wonderful hope this promise gives. Something that this little girl's parents can hold on to.

*This hit song of theirs was written by Richard Marx.

So long, farewell* - The cast of The Sound of Music

It was reported in the news today that a famous sports journalist from Taiwan ended his life today at a clinic in Switzerland. He passed away away after taking the drugs (poison?), surrounded by his family members. I can only imagine what his family went through.

According to the news report, he raised the cup, and said to the camera: “Farewell, so long” in Chinese and English. His family softly sang a hymn as he took four sips, and his son said: “Dad, I love you,” and “Relax, there's no more pain”. He then collapsed in his son's arms as his family clapped and sobbed....

One of the most difficult issues for me personally as a pro-life person. But what kind of life is it if it is in constant and unbearable pain and anguish? Should the right to life also include the right to choose not to live?

If the right to freedom of religion includes a right not to have a religion, the right to life can be arguably be said in to include the right not to choose life. Although i do not agree that the right to end one own's life should be allowed in any situation, i know of people who are in constant and unbearable pain - where sadly, the only way to end it is to end life. Very difficult issue - for me.

Inhumane treatment - that is also another point. Isn't allowing a person to suffer excruciating pain and slowly waste away a form of torture or cruel or inhuman or degrading treatment?

To make things even more difficult, I am a pro-life Christian! The Bible does say that we shall not kill. That is clear. But that is also the general rule. We cannot take that to be absolute - cannot kill in any or all situations. God had many times commanded his people to kill those who are evil and sinful. In Exodus 22:2, it is provided that killing in self-defence is allowed (killing a burglar).

Having said that, nothing is said expressly regarding terminally ill people who are going through agonising pain and suffering.

While I also agree that whatever torment we face here will ultimately end, it is of no (or little) comfort to the person who is going through such suffering. The question is whether is it God's will for such a person to suffer like that or should they be allowed to choose to end it?
Very difficult issue for me...

*Who can forget the cute scene where the little children had to go to sleep and sang this song before leaving?

King of Comedy* - R.E.M.

The King of Comedy has returned with a new movie - entitled "The New King of Comedy". Stephen Chow is back! And I absolutely love this new movie of his.

No, it's not a laugh out loud every 2 minutes kind of movie but i thought it was really really enjoyable. Some say it may be his own story - of how he made it to be a comedian.

I enjoyed it as it is a real story, about real people, with real issues, and real struggles, and real dreams. Stephen Chow is truly a genius to me.

The lesson of the movie is clear - hold on to your dreams, work hard and no matter what the obstacles are, if you are willing to persevere, you will reap the fruits.

This song from the movie was one of my favourite scenes in the movie. Enjoy.


*A track from their album, Monster.

No regrets* - Robbie Williams

"To say there are no regrets in life is to fool yourself. How boring life will be without regrets".

Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi's character) in The Grandmaster.

*Released in 1998, this song was among other things about him being in Take That.
