Movie: UP

Genre: Adventure, Animation
Producer: Pixar Animation Studios

This movie started off with a young shy guy, Carl Fredickson who fell in love with an eccentric girl, Ellie. Both of them are the super fan of Charles Muntz, the adventure explorer who proclaimed to bring back the live creature for his ruined reputation.

The love is just simple. "Cross your heart" - Ellie wanted Carl to promise to bring her to Paradise Falls where Muntz been to. Cross your heart is a swear that Carl made for Ellie. I was touched by their romance and love toward each others. When they were old, finally Carl managed to buy air fare to South America for his wife, sadly his wife died off. Carl was sturbornly refused to sell their cartoon dream house to developer, for no other reason, it is only how Carl showed his love toward Ellie. He was sturborn, but is all about love and promise that he has with his wife.

He was summoned to court for deliberately hurt other (the mail box was accidentally destroyed, and he got so furious). He forced to go to retirement home. "The adventure book" - a secret of Ellie who wanted to fill up her adventure to Paradise Fall in the book. He looked at it, and determined to bring their house to Paradise Fall.

Yes, he travel his house UP the sky. He used hellium ballon to make his house floated on the sky. UP - the dream has become one step nearer; UP - the below is just an ant, nothing to be worried about; UP - the emerge of courage and adventurous spirit; UP - the fulfillment of goal

Russell, another main character in the movie who tried to help Carl in order to get "Assiting The Elderly" badge to become a senior Wilderness explorer. He is innocent, talking non stop without further consideration, but he has a true heart. He speaks with his heart. A person who doesnt have any devil intention always win the battle at last.

I love him because his sacrifice toward nature. He wanted to protect Kevin (a female giant bird), and sent her back to her babies. He didnt stop trying, even the thing that he can't make it, for the sake of helping, he pulled through everything. I love his spirit.

Another funny apperance would be the talking dog, Dag. He was put on the signal bell by Muntz in order to trace Kevin. Dog is always faithful to the master, do so Dag. He regarded Carl as master, he didn't go even Carl scolded him as bad dog; he helped them to run away from the greedy and bad Muntz, and he stayed with them till the end.

Kevin, the giant bird nonetheless appeared to be a motherly creature. She saved them from the chase of Muntz. She wanted to get back to her babies as soon as possible even she was wounded. Mother, is always the best protection for babies, never failed.

A very short movie. Even the movie is lacking of excitement in between, I have gained insight from each character. What is the animation for? It is to educate people especially kids about the moral values in life. It is not only for entertainment, it depends on how we look at the purpope of film.

One day, I believe I will UP for my dream and never afraid to be failed because the victory is ain't just the result, is the process of doing it.

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Look Out Point, Ampang

To see Kuala Lumpur nightview, familiar people will tell you to go Look Out Point, Ampang. Cold breeze on your face, indeed refreshing your mind of a day, in provided that the surrounding is quiet. Look out the view from the tower, numerous of yellow lights like stars shining on you. The most attractive point will be KLCC. A romantic place to be, for couples. Please bring a camera, if not the view can't really be seen (like my photo above). It is best to calm yourself down, by looking at the night view. The surrounding is dim, and you could just be yourselves, without bothering anyone around you. The first time, I came with a down feeling, thus I felt better to do the same. There is few restaurants there. We tried Bread and Olives, as recommanded by my friends. The drink was so-so. The hot chocolate like milo, and the nescafe also like milo. Hot drink is not hot enough. Haha. But, most important thing is to get yourself a good seating to enjoy the night view. We ordered this. Thin ...
