Horror Obssession

I like the colour pink. I like cute fluffy animals. I wear high heels. And i like HORROR, especially gore and blood. Not the exact perfect image of a girl who loves horror movie. My horror passion started when i was young. Remember the days when you rent videos? I always rent horror movies. What about horror movies that i like so much? The feeling of being terrified is exciting.

I was watching Halloween. It seems a lot of people think this is one of the best horror movies. Not for me. Maybe because this was a 70's horror movie, the time where people are still experimenting with horror movies. And perhaps during that time it's a trend where everyone enjoy watching a horror/thriller movie where there's a psychotic killer lurking in the dark for his victims, killing them off one by one. *yawn*... not my kind of horror movie.

There are many kinds of horror movies, let me list a few :

1. Demon Possession

The most famous demon possession type horror movie is The Exorcist. I'm not a fan of demon possession but The Exorcist is one of my favourite horror movie. Cool and scary special effects. And it's not your typical boring demon possession kind of movie. The Omen is another movie within this category. It's boring. Nothing horrific.


A SCENE FROM THE EXORCIST

2. Slasher flick

This is where psycho killer go around killing people with a piece of knife. Again, this is not my kind of horror movie. The plot for every slasher flicks are pretty much the same, you have a bunch of friends being killed off one by one. "Bimbo" couples having sex or nude scene will be killed off first until the hero/heroin remains. Halloween, Scream and Friday the 13th are your kind of slasher flicks. But the latest Friday the 13th (2009) movie remake was quite good and to my liking because there's a lot of hardcore gore. Even the latest Halloween movie, Halloween H20 was also to my liking because of the gore scenes. The older versions aren't really into gore and more into frightening rather than making disgusting scenes. And the killers where MASKS because supposedly they have disfigured faces, not because they are shy. I suppose the masks are suppose to make them more scary.


DARLING MICHEAL MYERS FROM HALLOWEEN


DARLING JASON VORHEES FROM FRIDAY THE 13TH


3. DEMON LIKE KILLERS

Kindda hard to explain this category but it's basically killers that have supernatural ability to kill his victims. Like Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street who haunts people through their dreams and he can kill you in his dream. He's my favourite horror! Then you have Hellraiser, a bunch of mean looking killers with demonic or satanic elements. They kill their victims by torturing them and turning them into horrible looking beings. I like this kind of horror, more blood and gore.

4. VAMPIRES, WEREWOLF AND OTHER SO CALLED MYTHICAL CREATURES

Vampires and werewolves these days are sooooooo overrated no thanks to Twilight. And what's with people and the combination of vampires and werewolf. The concept is getting old and irritating. Van Helsing, Underworld, Twilight are among the many movies that concentrate on vampires and werewolves. Of course there are other movies which just concentrate on the concept of vampire OR werewolf alone. This kind of horror is not my thing either because they don't kill their victims violently. Vampires uses their sexuality to capture their victim while werewolf i guess rip their victims apart? But i've never seen violent vampire or werewolf movies before. Maybe because i hardly watch such movies. BORING. But True Blood is the one and only best drama for vampire and werewolf.

5. ZOMBIES

I've seen wayyyyyy too many zombie movies that i'm getting bored watching it. Some zombie movies are good, but some are simply stupid and boring. Stupid and boring are those where the zombies suddenly developed super human strength, can outsmart humans and can run faster than Usain Bolt. It defeats the very essence of zombies actually, which is they are suppose to be dead, slow walking and stupid beings a.k.a the walking dead and not the running dead. However the exception to all this is the movie RESIDENT EVIL (all sequels) because besides having zombies, they have other interesting scary looking creatures. Plus they have great fight scenes since the main character is a strong woman that kick ass.



6. CRAZY GORE HORROR

This kind of horror movie involve a lot of disgusting scenes like limbs get chopped off, blood spurting and splashing every where, sick and disgusting killing methods. Not for squeamish people. Movies like this are SAW, Hostel, Descent 1 and 2, Wrong Turn, The Hills have Eyes and many others. A lot of violence are involved. My favourite kind of horror :-)... Simply for entertainment. To appreciate such movie, there must be a good storyline and good and creative killing methods. Yes, it's sickening. OOOh i almost forgot about Long Khong a.k.a Art of the Devil 1, 2 and 3. It's one of the best disgusting bloody asian horror movie.



7. ASIAN HORROR FLICKS

Korean are the best in making asian kind horror movies. Asian horror movies involved a woman with long hair seeking revenge due to the fact she's unhappy with something. This is my favourite horror type of movie but sometimes it can get boring if it has a very typical plot. Very rare good scary ones. Ghosts crawling slowly is no longer that scary because there are simply too many ghosts crawling around. A piece of advise to asian horror directors --> do come up with a new way how ghosts are suppose to approach their victims. Thai horror movies are also good but their special effects are ridiculous. Not up to the standard and can look pretty fake if they rely too much on it. Among the best Thai horror movies : Shutter, Alone, Bhuparahtree and some funny horror Thai movies which i can't remember the title.






8. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS HORROR MOVIES

I like horror movies that involved dolls. It's scary. When i was young, after watching Chucky, i became afraid of dolls like him, the ones that are as big as babies or toddlers with big glassy eyes. My aunt gave me a doll that look similar like Chucky in height and size and it can record your voice and play it over. It scared the daylights out of me, i kept it in the store room, never playing with it. Unfortunately, not many horror movies venture into dolls. God only knows why. Dead Silence is another good horror movies that involved puppets.


CHUCKY, THE FOUL MOUTHED DOLLY...

P/s : i'm blogging about horror movies 2 30 am in the morning. It scared me a lil to look at the female ghosts pictures that i posted...

Possible Solutions to Baby Dumping

Cases of baby dumping are on the rise in Malaysia, thus many authorities try to find the solution to overcome this sickening problem. I was reading an article in yesterday's paper in NST where the Malacca Islamic Religious Council has agreed male Muslims below 18 and female Muslims below 16 to wed provided there's permission from Syariah court and the parents.

Why do people get married? I give you some of the reasons :

1. Prevent out of wedlock sexual intercourse and out of wedlock pregnancy since it's immoral and sinful.
2. Undying love for each other.
3. Financially stable to get married.
4. Ready to build a family.
5. And many more reasons.

So you get married if you have the financial means, you find someone you love and you are ready to settle down.

There are those who think that it's better just to get married to prevent social illness like sex out of wedlock. Not much consideration is given whether those who are about to get married get a proper picture what marriage is all about. They don't think about this because they are driven by lust.

Of course it's good to get married to prevent social illness but the downside to this is that when people don't fully understand the concept of marriage get married, that's when all the marriage problem will arise like infidelity or early divorces.

18 year old boys getting married... do they have the financial means to look after a wife and a child without the help of his parents? he just finished secondary school for crying out loud and isn't this the time for him to get a degree? Then when he has a child with his wife, they will dump the child with the parents while the two of them will go to work to earn money. Or the two can be married without having a child and can still continue with marriage? This would be the better and acceptable scenario but it's hardly the case. Only those who are careful with their future will not get pregnant at such an early age. Then again, baby dumping and pregnancy out of wedlock won't happen if the parties were smart and careful right?

Unwanted pregnancies happen because people are NOT CAREFUL and they don't use their brains to think by taking measures to prevent such thing from happening. The least you can do is have safe sex.

Thus, i still believe providing SEX EDUCATION is the better method to give rise to awareness, unless the people are too stupid and ignorant to care.

And shouldn't abortion be cheaper than the cost of having to raise a baby? And you rather kill an innocent life by letting it fully developed only to kill it later by dumping the baby in the open compare to aborting it at an early stage? If you are gonna be evil, be the better evil and choose abortion.

My idea is all about giving awareness to those who might not be totally aware about sex and the consequences aside from only being aware of how fun it is until the baby pops out.

Compliments and Criticisms

They say that if you have nothing nice to say, then you better just shut up. That's one of my principles in life among my many other principles.

It's human nature that we like to hear compliments and not criticisms. We become proud and happy if we received compliments and upset if we are being criticized. Sometimes, criticism is necessary especially when you are working or studying because we need to produce good results or work. Without criticism, you won't be able to better yourself when there's a need for you to better yourself.

However, there are some people who like to criticized unnecessarily. The possible reasons why people criticized you unnecessarily :

1. they naturally don't like you.
2. they feel better if they criticized you.
3. they simply have a foul mouth and are insensitive beings.
4. they THINK they are doing it for your own good. But you DON'T THINK so.

Being commented you are fat or you gained weight is a common thing in society. General rule, being called fat is a criticism. While being called skinny, thin, slim is a compliment and when someone say you lose weight it's also a compliment provided you are not sick or a drug addict. That's what you get living in a SUPERFICIAL society.

My question : why do you need to tell someone that he/she gained weight or is fat? WHY?! Are you concern about his health? Gaining slight weight doesn't mean you are doomed for diabetes or heart attack. Skinny people do get heart attack you know.

Some say they comment such thing because they think the other person DON'T REALIZED his physical flaw. Excuse me, the other person sees his naked body in front of the mirror everyday and you think he doesn't know what flaw his body has?

It's not just about weight but sometimes people comment why don't you get your eyebrows trimmed, it looks hideous. Or your hair is horrible, etc etc... The main thing is that people like to comment about PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. Isn't everyone entitled to their very own choice of physical appearance? Not everyone is into looking perfect or plastic or fake.

Another unnecessary critical comment is skin complexion like your are getting darker or you are having pimple break out or whatever it is.

If you are happy with the way you look, why should you change yourself just because someone tell or suggest you to change?

People are so obsessed with looks and if you don't follow the typical-what-society want look, you will be criticized. Like in Malaysia, especially in the Malay community, the typical beauty is being FAIR, SLIM and HEAVY DUTY MAKEUP. This is what i observed anyway.

I don't hear people commenting "Oh, you are so STUPID!" or "Oh, you are so POOR!", but noooo, it's a must to comment on physical appearance. It's like they will die if they don't comment your physical flaw.

Don't comment unless you were asked to comment. Some people are simply happy with the way they look and they don't need some person to lower their self esteem just because he/she doesn't have the ideal look. And if you do want to be commented, be prepared for the worst answer. Who ask you to ask anyway.

Invasion of Privacy and Traps

Scenario 1 : A woman hire another woman to seduce her male partner in order to TEST his loyalty. Should the guy be pissed off when the woman do such thing? Of course if he didn't fall for the trap he would be angry because he thinks the woman doesn't trust him. But if he fell for the trap, then he can't be angry because his partner would have kill him for his infidelity.

Scenario 2 : a common one actually, this is when a partner checks his/her partner's phone WITHOUT PERMISSION. Or reads his diary, or do a check up on his lap top, social networking etc, WITHOUT PERMISSION. There are some relationship where the partner check each other phones. If you don't show your phone, there's an IMPLIED PRESUMPTION that you are hiding something. Then again, if you know your partner is very obsessed with checking your stuff, you will master the talent of hiding your secrets pretty well. Come on, people who are married and living under the SAME BLOODY ROOF can have affairs, what more mere non married couples? As the saying goes, "when there's a will, there's a way".

Personally for me, i don't like it when my partner checks my stuff. It's an invasion of privacy. If you think you can explore my phone because you have the status of a bf or husband, why don't i just shove my diary at your face? I might have something to hide, i might NOT have something to hide, i have my reasons but it definitely doesn't involve having another lover. If i don't love you, i will simply break up with you instead of continuing the failing relationship. the rule of breaking up is simple, you break up because you want to be with another person and the break up is a necessity for you to be able to go out with another person without being accused of cheating. So if someone ask for a break up, just give it to them, to beg to rethink the matter. Why do you want to be with someone who doesn't have the intention to be with you? Okay, i'm running away from the main topic that i'm suppose to discuss about.

Whatever it is, i believe you don't have to be a busybody to find out the truth by invading people's privacy. I'll tell you a REAL INCIDENT that happened. This woman suspects her husband was cheating. She checks his phone without his permission, and go through his bills. Sure when she checks her husband's phone there were flirty messages from other women but there were no reply messages from the husband and perhaps even if they were, it was not flirty. So she became very upset that the husband was being friends with such flirtatious women. pretty normal, who doesn't get jealous? But she has no proof that the husband was having affairs. She only rumors and see flirty text messages from other women. The husband on the other hand, couldn't be bothered to check her phone. He never invade her privacy. But the husband eventually caught that the wife was CHEATING behind his back without ever having to invade her privacy. There were some indications she was cheating but the husband just asked her a simple question whether she cheated. Perhaps she was scared, but she admitted. And later more concrete proof surfaced.

What i'm trying to tell you is that the squirrel can hop from one tree to another perfectly without falling but eventually it will fall. Sorry, i translated that literally from Malay :-p. "Sepandai pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga". Cheat all you want but one day you will get caught due to your carelessness. Perhaps it's God's power to show your partner your cheating without your partner having to go through your stuff to see whether you are having affair.

Trust is an important thing in a relationship. If you can't trust, don't be in a relationship. The habit of accusing your partner of having affair when it's not true will only irritate your partner. It will eventually lead to a broken relationship. I think my bad habit when i'm in a relationship is JEALOUSY. I won't accuse my partner of cheating but i will bitch any woman who my partner seem to "like", that would include celebrities :-D...


Scenario 3 : this is more of a legal matter in relation to entrapment. This is when the police secretly use devices or set traps to catch offenders. Like putting up a listening device to record conversations that might be prejudicial to the offender. The issue is whether such evidence will be admissible since the device was secretly located at the offender's house. Of course in a public area there won't be an issue. Cases have shown such evidence is admissible even though it was obtained "improperly". Some seem to think the manner in which the evidence was obtained was irrelevant, what matters most is that the evidence is RELEVANT. On the other hand, some would think it's against the Human Rights.

Love in the Time of Cholera

'Love in the Time of Cholera' is a nice movie. I just watched it yesterday on Astro. It's a drama movie, not really a romantic movie. But i just love the name of the title, it sounds soooo catchy and dramatic.

It has an interesting storyline. I missed the first 20 minutes because by the time i switched on the channel, it has started playing. Anyway, if you plan to watch the movie, better don't read this entry coz i'm gonna tell everything. But let me give you a brief REVIEW : it's about a man's undying love to a woman. He waited 53 years plus just to be with her because she married another man. But while still being obsessed with the woman, he sleeps around with many women a.k.a 600 WOMEN.

Javier Bardam is a very good actor. He played the old character well. His character in the movie is kindda weird and eccentric. He was obsessed with LOVE. He loved the one woman who rejected him. He kept track of her, always thinking of her. But at the same time, he's so lustful and he keeps a record of the various women he sleeps with which reaches up to 600 by the time he was in his 70's.

The woman on the other hand remained faithfully to her husband. But there was a time when her husband had an affair with his patient (he's a doctor). He begs for her forgiveness. She forgave him and remained with him until he died.

What's so interesting about this movie is that it captures a lot of about love. There are so many nice quotations from the movie but i just forgot about it. Example, like the woman's husband saying that STABILITY is important in a marriage. He didn't seem to think love was important.

But i still can't accept the fact that you can sleep with so many women and yet remain true to the one that you truly loved. But that is the exact scenario in real life.

Something About Polygamy

I think by now, with my many blog entries on polygamy, i can make a THESIS out of it. A recent "case" of polygamy which i heard of is that this guy's 2nd wife was from the SAME OFFICE as his first wife. But it seems the 1st wife knew of the 2nd wife's existence. Seriously, from the SAME OFFICE??? If i was the 1st wife, that would be like a slap to my face. That's like your husband marrying your best friend or whatever. I'm not sure whether the 2 wives were close co workers. Anyway, hearing this scenario of polygamy, it made me analysed the whole concept of polygamy.

If you were the 2nd, 3rd or 4th wife, wouldn't you be considered as a HUSBAND STEALER? I know that may sound harsh but isn't that a FACT? You KNEW the guy was married but you continued the relationship anyway. This of course doesn't apply to women who DIDN'T know the guy was married until she was married to him. I'm talking about women who KNEW the guy was married.

Some of the DEFENCES which the subsequent wife might bring up is that the first wife was EVIL and doesn't make the husband happy. Then why didn't the husband have any balls to divorce the wife if she was so horrid? Of course the excuse would be "the marriage need to be maintained for the sake of the children".

There are no issues if the first wife gives her consent to the subsequent marriages. Some women are simply too happy to share i guess. What kind of a woman is this? But i believe such kind do exist since i do know some girls who insist on keeping her bf despite knowing the fact he's sleeping around with other girls.

Another thing about polygamy is that why don't the guy just have more than 1 gf before he gets married. Eventually he can marry the rest of his gfs.

Can you be angry at a MARRIED MAN who flirts around with other women? He's entitled to polygamy anyway. Perhaps that's why married men don't feel the slightest guilt when they flirt around with other women because he knows he has "3 other wives vacancy" to be filled.

When so called religous people don't use their brain to think...

If you are a conservative religious thinker, i suggest you don't read this blog entry of mine because you will attack me like a vulture and start accusing me of backstabbing my religion or attacked me by saying i don't have sufficient religious knowledge and thus i should keep my mouth shut.

Sure i don't act like or practice religious stuff as what i'm suppose to but i have faith in my religion and i believe in my religion. So when people attack my religion, i do get upset. Or when i think someone misinterpret the religion, i will say a thing or two. My argument is based on LOGIC and rational thinking. Religion is not all about miracles and supernatural stuff.

Like in any religion, Islam has been divided into sects. According to the Quran, people shouldn't be doing this. Islam is divided into sects because of HUMAN doings. You have shiah and suni and then u have the different "mazhabs". For shiah and suni, one of them is more conservative than the other. They still believe in one God but deviate in certain parts. The problem with religions is that it is PRONE to human intervention and alteration.

Then you have the Quran and the hadith. The Quran is the final and complete book. It is the words and commandments on God. Nobody can alter it. That's how powerful the Quran is. Hadith on the other hand means "a traditional account of things said or done by Muhammad or his companions". Basically they are things said by those who are close to the Prophet, describing Prophet's way of living, the good and exemplary things to be followed because Prophet Muhammad did it during his life time.

Every Muslims should and will believe in the Quran. But there are some Muslims who don't follow the hadith because some hadith are not genuine. Not only they are not genuine but some sounds illogical and contradictory. Some are even contradicting with the Quran. Of course if it contradicts the Quran, the Quran will override it.

Anyway, what i wanted to point out here is that some religious people who give lectures on religion don't use their brain to think when they talk.

Today, while in the car on the way back, the radio was playing some kind of religious lecture. I didn't like the lecture at all because i find his arguments are not strong. He was talking about how a wife should respect the husband, the fact that it's easier for them to enter HELL or HEAVEN compare to men. Then he talked about pregnant women and something about JINN. He was saying about how a woman can be sweet for one second to her husband, and then become very rude the next second. He says it's because she's being possessed by Jinn... yeah, blamed it on the Jinn instead of the the unbalanced hormones that causes emotional distress in women.

I know wife should respect the husband and it takes a lot of effort to respect a husband who doesn't respect you but you still have to respect and take all of his shit for the sake of following what your religion tells and for the sake of being rewarded entrance to heaven after so much patience and tolerance. That i can accept.

But what i can't accept is that he says that we yawn because there's JINN inside us. What kind of bullshit is that? He goes on to say that that's why Prophet Muhammad NEVER YAWNS and that a fly never land on him. Oh, i guess they already have a 24/7 surveillance camera at that time and thus that's why they know he never yawn a single time through out his entire life.

Sure, when i google up articles on yawning, there's no clear answer why we yawn. It's the human body mechanism, "Scientists do not purport to know all of the biological mechanisms of the yawn, but tend to agree that a yawn is an involuntary respiratory reflex, which regulates the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood"..

However, have you forgotten that animals yawn too? Are they possessed my jinn then? Babies yawn a lot, so these innocent beings are possessed by jinns too?

So see my logical explanation? I wonder where did that guy get the so called info that the prophet never yawn and if you yawn means there's jinn inside you. Hadith? I'm pretty sure the Quran never mention this. It's things like this that undermines the genuineness of hadith.
