Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a single, suburban dad trying to make ends meet as a security officer at a New Jersey mall. It’s a job he takes very seriously, though no one else does.
When Santa’s helpers at the mall stage a coup, shutting down the megaplex and taking hostages (Paul’s daughter and sweetheart among them), Jersey’s most formidable mall cop will have to become a real cop to save the day.
While almost every concerned citizen in Malaysia is waiting for the opposition to form the new government, I came across this video in Youtube. The anticipation was high on September 16, but alas, nothing happened and Badawi sent most of his Barisan politicians to Taiwan to ‘learn about agriculture’ on that date so that there won’t be any crossovers to Pakatan for those sitting on the fence. With Anwar’s trial looming, I wonder if he is able to form the next government in the near future. Still keeping my fingers cross as Anwar is pro all races and not just bumiputera which UMNO has been fighting for – but the end result is that all government tenders and projects goes to their own UMNOputera cronies to enrich themselves.
With The Love Guru, you can tell Meyers is trying to create another success along the lines of Austin Powers, but failing miserably. The thing about Austin Powers was despite being a dumb comedy, the movie had a likable, fun protagonist. In Meyer’s latest outing, we get the Guru Pitka, a Charles Manson look-alike who has an obsession with penises. It’s somewhat fitting that he resembles Charles Manson, a notorious cult leader, as by the movies end I had a strange urge to kill myself. Not only is the Guru creepy, he’s also very unfunny. Whether he’s making lame puns about “life” or talking about penises, he never manages to elicit any laughs whatsoever. It could be that his jokes are just bad. Certainly using jokes straight out of a children’s joke book isn’t a recipe for success. It could also be the fact that Meyers is so desperate for a laugh, he himself laughs at every joke and continuously looks at the audience, attempting to entice them to laugh along with him. You get the sense that he realizes the jokes are unfunny and the glances at the audience are his last failed attempts at getting a few laughs. Guru Pitka’s character development just adds injury to the insult. One minute Pitka is being hailed as a spiritual healer who lives to help people and the next minute he’s insulting a midget for no particular reason. There’s no consistency to the character at all, which is what this movie is missing in comparison to Meyer’s last few. Wayne Campbell and Austin Powers felt like real characters, where the Guru doesn’t really have any character; he randomly does whatever moves the plot along forward.
I have been amazed at the success of Pastor Joseph Prince’s preaching to the world. He is the senior pastor of New Creation Church in Singapore. From a mere 100 plus members, New Creation Church has grown to be about 15,000 members now. It has the largest Hokkien service in Singapore with more than one thousand members.
Why do people love Pastor Prince? For one, Pastor Joseph Prince has received word of healing, word of faith from the Holy Spirit. He is very much in tune and walks closely with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I mean, this guy really listens and receives fresh manna from heaven. You could say he is a modern day prophet. And whatever he says has come to pass and people who listen to him have made money. Sometimes he drops nuggets of gold to his congregation by telling them when to buy gold for instance, at the right time and when to invest money. Not only were people made richer, some of them have been healed from sickness and terminal cases. Though not everyone has been healed, but the fact that many were healed listening and following his teachings, speaks volumns of his annointedness.
I still continue to buy his teaching CDs, music CDs, sermons and books from his web site in NewCreation.org.sg Indeed Pastor Prince is extremely annointed and blessed. Recently he has paid 100 million singapore dollars downpayment for a new iconic building for his growing congregation in Singapore. If you think he is a cult leader, definitely people around the world won’t be fooled by him. He preaches to USA, Uganda, India and a few other countries around the world via tv satellite. Now you Singaporeans are very lucky to be able to catch Pastor Prince live in New Creation Church. Though the queue is very long, but it is well worth it.
Last night, I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks for the second time. The movie was that good and entertaining. Alvin is the cheeky chipmunk, while Simon is the smart one with spectacles and Theodore is the small plump chipmunks who keeps having nightmares. Dave Seville (Jason Lee) was a down-on-his-luck musician who just needed that special something to make his songs sell. That’s when three talking chipmunks, Alvin (Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney), ended up raiding his home. Their rise to stardom is seen in “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”
The computer graphics were superb as animators blend them with humans. The facial expressions of fear tell all especially the 3 chipmunks had to sing to Uncle Ian for the first time. This movie shows a father figure in Dave and money-making practical businessman in Uncle Ian who make use of the talking chipmunks to generate more cash from singing tours. Dave have had enough when he saw on TV how the poor chipmunks are so tired and exhausted from so much singing shows all over USA. This is a must see movie for all, not only the kids.
Above is the waltz dancing during the 7th International Dance Competition in PISA on 25th November 2007. There were various categories of dancing such as cha cha cha, rhumba, samba, tango, quick step, waltz and paso doble. The costumes were opulent, dazzling with ‘diamonds’, silk and taffeta. The tickets cost RM15 each and I paid for 4 persons including myself and parents.
Here is the quick step dance which is much faster and livelier than waltz. If couples are too engrossed in dancing and don’t look out, they can bump into another couple. There are more than 50 judges from various countries in this competition.
The video above was taped during one of my visits to China. Here is a huge wooden gadget that pours out water taken from a lake for you to wash your hand for fortune. You need to turn the handle as seen in this video. A fellow tourist from USA, he’s a History teacher by the way, got excited when he saw this and started turning the huge ferris wheel-like gadget while the rest of us took the opportunity to wash and wet our hands. It is fun, but I wouldn’t like to live in a ‘kampung’ or village with this huge receptacle that you need to turn just to clean your hands. And you need 2 persons!
Blogger has just added a new feature on the dashboard. We can now upload videos to our blogs the same way we upload pictures. We no longer need to embed the codes from YouTube. Though I have not tried this yet, I think it is a nifty feature to use. Maybe one of these days, I might just upload my own videos of a stage performance taken in China that comes with the delicious Mongolian food buffet. Blogger only allows video uploads of not more than 100mb each time. Most formats are accepted. Have fun with your videos.

If you happen to lock yourself out or lost your keys, fret not. You can use a bump key that’s been specially cut to open any lock by bumping it.
