Do NOT Disturb.. MEN on HIGH HORMONE... lol

There is an old saying "Do not touch a dog's plate unless you wanna get bitten" hahaha.. well, same goes to those who are dedicated to the gym.. or just those who have been seriously infected by the gym bugs... not just regular bugs in the house.. but one's which bites and makes u healthy.. in a way i guess... if you don't try some of the unnatural method of bodybuilding... hahaha....

well, there are numerous types of gym goers.. 1st and foremost, u have those who are competitive ... with one motive and one motive alone.. join a bodybuilding competitions.. you will see them at one corner pumping their heads off, with screams and shouts accompanying each lift and pull... i don't belong here.. hahaha..... well, i belong in the 2nd category...

2nd category - the type also in one corner carrying hardworkingly for "GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON" cause there is no intention of joining any bodybuilding competition.. hahaha... also huff and puff loudly with every clank and nevertheless.. serious bodybuilders who stick a "DO not Disturb" sign in front of him each time he works out...

then u have the 3rd category who comes to the gym in a pack and talks and chats at each and every machine and don't know what they are doing. most of the time, you hear then giggle around and chuckle and even laugh at others who are working hard. I have no idea why they are there instead of the coffee shop.. lol

and of course, the famous category, those who go to the gym to check out the opposite gender... lol... you will see them staking on their target and most of the time "SHIOK SENDIRI" at one corner while the head follows the bouncing whatever.... scary though.. some looks as if they can swallow u whole... hahaha....

so I do wanna inform the public.. there are place for the right events and gym is a place where people come to workout out, sweat out the day's stress and to maintain a good health.. not a lepak (Loitering) site for ppl to clean their eyes or gossip..

if you don't know the rules... well, i don't know the whole list but here are some...

1. Wear proper attire.. that means singlets or shirts (Shirts off is ok if you know how to clean the machine afterwards), pants (long or short) no jeans or slack unless u wanna get it torn and look sexy after... and SPORT SHOES... pls ppl.. it's not just for show or comfort.. it's for you own safety.. all these plates are heavy and sharp on most.. I've seen someone who dropped a 50lbs plate on their open toes.. not a good sight.
2. DON'T stare at someone working out. If you wanna see how he does it, watch from afar and maybe take a few peek is all right. don't walk up next to the person and stare down.
3. Keep your distance from the person working out. Not just about personal space. what if the person loses the balance and drops the plates..??
4. PLEASE PLEASE... ABSOLUTE DON'T EAT THOSE DELICIOUS UNHEALTHY FOOD IN THE GYM... man, i was in a gym once where the wife of the person working out was happily eating away a McDonalds Big MAC McValue in the gym.. be considerate and think of others, a lot of these people are trying to lose weight by not thinking bout those kinda food and some might be struggling with the "YUCKY TYPE OF FOOD I EAT (i find it delicious ya :P )" anyways... almonds and wholemeal bread is fine in the gym even power bar bt not Fried Kueh Tiaw or Fried Rice ok :S
5. Don't stand and wait impatiently next to someone who is using a machine. I am sure the gym have a lot of equipment, enough to satisfy your each muscle groups. It's very rude to do so and not only that, it makes a bimbo out of you for acting immaturely. There was a time I was using these sets of 25 dumbbell and the gym haf 2 sets. One guy came up to me and asked me am I done with the dumbbells cause he wanna use. I told him I am left with 3 sets. He just stood there to wait for my set. I looked at the rack and saw the other set of 25 was resting there. I finish off 1 set and pass the dumbbells to him. and I was being a jerk a little by walking pass him and said "OH WOW! here's another set of 25, Lucky me" the guy looked embarrassed... come on people.. there are more than 10 types of exercise to work that triceps of urs and more than 15 to work that lat. be sensible...
6. haiz... don't wanna think no more.... too many but... hear me out... it's not just bout the gym. If you can't even be a thoughtful person in a place what does that make you?
   

Anyways, this is a set of pictures from my facebook under (Funny Faces in the gym) :P

Gosh, I didn't know i was making these monkey faces around.. hope no 1 took me seriously :P

Nope, I'm not constipated :S

Hahahaha... speechless... emm... i think i was breathing on one set

As If looking for a fight with a dumbbell in each hand :P

Check out my teeth :S

Karate Kid 2010

A lot of us watch films, and that's it... treating all films merely as just an entertainment tool. But little do we realize that films are like books where the author tries to deliver a message through his / her pen and words. As of films, what more could i say ... it's visual and yet it's hard to crack into that thick skull of ours. There is so much to learn from a good film. Production crews and film students learn new method or different approaches to producing a film. Actors and actresses learn what should and shouldn't be done on screen and how to get characterizations... and the viewers have the most out of it... the subtext value which every film tries to deliver. Even pornography has its educational value... if not, mankind would be lost.. hahaha... (not trying to encourage pornography k!!)

Anyways... lets get back to Karate Kid. Mr Han (Jacky Chan) teaches Dre (Jaden Smith) kung fu so he could take care of himself along the way, Mr Han learn to get back on his two feet, Dre beats the bad guys and lesson learn... to most ppl.. then there are those who look deeper as to Dre learn to respect others and not to take advantage of situations and not to exploit it. Mr Han learns to stand up again and be strong. Mom learns to accept son... and that's it... curtain down and lights turn on... everyone leaves the hall and go back to their own lives... BUT WAIT! hold on a second.... rewind ... didn't we all got sucked into the film and feel the pain of a mother trying to connect with her son, the frustration of a teacher trying to crack into the stubborn head of a student to teach him the value of life, the agony of a villain being beaten and learn his lesson when his students turns against him. now where did all that knowledge went after the show has ended? along with the dark hall?

Now let us ask ourselves what is the lesson learnt from all the films we've ever watched? I don't wanna go through a list so lets just stick to Karate Kid, a great film with great educational value on humanity delivered. When we go home, what do we do? where do we put our shoes, clothes, bags, belongings? do we expect any1 in particular to pick it up for us and arrange them? after we cook.. well, for those who cook... do we throw all the wrappings and any discharge, wash the utensils, clean the kitchen, or just leave it be and let someone else to take care of it?? and after meals... do we clean the table, wash the dishes, throw or keep the left overs or just leave it there for people who loves us but is being exploited or under appreciated to clear it away? ... list goes on and on.... but the one question is.. have we all been inconsiderate and exploited the good will of others? have we even thank those people who clean away our mess? I know, I know... I'm not a saint.. but I do my best to keep track.. nobody's perfect... but have you ever given it any thought?

Let's look deeper the next time we watch a film apart from the entertainment value.. im sure the author, writer, director does a great job at delivering.. but let's put our mail box out and start receiving :)

The Walk all down and ONline

The Walk from Cheng Tzuu Bong on Vimeo.

After a couple's day work.. well, not too long.. all n all, from pre to post production, i figure not more than 5 days.

With the 1st day (The Awakening) Finally realize if I keep on writing pieces which requires a lot of crew and cast, i'm just giving myself the opportunity to procrastinate. Why wait and dream when you can create. So I sat, stand, walk and took a nap on it and finally came up with a draft. I started writing.... and calls it the walk... y the walk you may say, why named it the walk...well, it talks bout the spiritual walk of humans nowadays who are constantly caught in a dilemma of making a choice to either submit to temptations or to act logically ethical. I like writing piece like these and most of the time making it more of an art film like short films. It may not make sense to many but its the few ppl who understands which makes it special. cause then i would knw who is watching with the eyes and who is really feeling it :P

The walk talks about making the right choices, walking the right path. Tells us that even if it's the very last minute or it may cost us something of value, making the right choice can make a difference and cause a great impact to the outcome in the future.

Anyways, I had the pictures imprinted in my mind how i want to shoot it. and renting a budget motel is all i can afford since i've not been working for the past 1/2 year since i left Kuala Lumpur. But i've no idea of how the layout of the motels gonna look like since i can't just budge in and tell them that im going to shoot a short film in one of their rooms. they are going to charge me extra for that... lol.. so I have to cross my fingers and yellow pages..

2nd day I went out to find the gels / filters... seems like a big disappointment cause non of the stationary / art / graphic shops sells it and they asked me to get it off from the glass tinting shops.. lol.. nope, they don't have it either.. so i went to buy colored transparent book covers which school kids use for their project covers.. (Proves to be too thick) lol.. anyways, I went all over town and found myself an inspection lamp and got some light bulbs. that settles the lighting.. I borrowed my brother's tripod. I went home after that and started sketching the storyboard.. just in case

3rd day I got a piece of large display board as my reflector. and finish off the storyboard...

The shooting starts on the 4th day.. Initially i planned to check in 12 sharp but cause i had to rely on my brother to fetch me over since i don't want to leave my car there. anyways, after waiting and stuff, he finally came and dropped me off around 1 something.. I started shooting even before I dropped off my stuff along the hallway. But only realized that I was standing underneath a CCVT the whole time which shooting. hahaha... anyways, I wrapped the hallway so what is left is the room scenes.

The room is a bit smaller than i expected and the interior is well, not the friendliest u can get. But I managed to get it all done. Initially it was a bit hard since I have to handle all the equipments all by myself while trying not to keep in character whenever i call for action myself. I've to watch out for unwanted things not to be in the scene *I F*** up a little.. hahaha... there were a couple of scenes where I've didn't spot properly. oh well, learned a valuable lesson :) anyways, I've to climb up and down to get the "Bird's eye view" take my own reflector to adjust the reflecting light source, have to press the focus (lucky my sony dcr - sx40 has a auto spot focus so all i have to do is press where i want it to focus and run to the last position for it to focus on) hahaha... so there were a lot of cardio involved.

I think the hardest part was trying to get the lighting cause I only found out then that 1 inspection lamp is not enough to get the lighting done... lol.. but i tried and give it my best shot with the ... emm.. so called filter... lol... I finished shooting everything around 2am but i had a good 1hr rest to recharge the battery. I downloaded the footage and started editing while waiting for it to fully charged. I wrapped the day at 3am.

woke up early on the 5th day and took my breakfast.. well, don't guess 4 slices of rye bread with peanut butter. I continued on the editing and covers whatever which was not shot like some close up scenes to get it sync. I recorded the footsteps again with my boom mic cause the original was a bit noisy since the motel was still under renovation. I was picked up by my brother around 12noon. and continued to finish off the editing till 8pm.... 5 days hardwork paid off and here I present to you, the 1 man crew / cast production... the walk

Our Caring Society

Its been quite sometime now since I last took the public transport and this is what I get. LOL. Anyways, The nurse... or should I say, nurses (A couple of them) was awake when the 2 old man walks into the bus. They took a look at them and yet, sat comfortably on the seat letting the old man swaying with the bus.. Then the bus stop, a seat was vacant, an young indian lady rushed to the seat, walking pass the old man to dash to the seat. Right then, she started laughing and giggling away having fun with her bunch of friends who all together fought for the seats.

Is this the Malaysia we want to portray? Wake Up Malaysia!

A picture tells a thousand words.

Very Ethical Malaysian Act

Well, no date stated since its a very common scene in our daily Malaysian life here in KL... not the 1st time but definitely my 1st to capture it on video.

As usual, "queue" is not a word.... its not even in the Malaysian Dictionary... lol... when the train arrived, every1 just rushed to the openings. people from within the train had a hard time coming out of the train cause the people just forcefully board the train.. so anyways, todays the day i witness.. an old lady who boarded last.. she is about 60 - 70 yrs of age... came in and stood in from of the seats where there was these young... well, not exactly young.. but younger and stronger than her, thats for sure... As I turned to look at these people who was seated... they had their eyes shut just so to avoid being stamp as unethical passengers who din give way to the needy. I got a bit pissed and purposely bang on the glass to catch their attention.. but to my surprised, they didn't even inch... so I bang again to the same response.. and i tried my best to make them aware of the old lady... coughing, clanging on the pole.. and finally, played my "One Miss Call" scary ringtone next to their heads and yet, they had their eyes shut harder.... The poor old lady had to stand there trying to stand properly.... wow, this is how ignorant Malaysian are... or should I say, how ethical they have become...

One day, I swear... One day, I would shout at these people and make sure they remember the day for the rest of their life.... WHAT THE F*** is wrong with you people!!!! Where have you morale value gone to! up your Arse?? Please.... We are Friendly Malaysians... the government didn't spend millions of Ringgit to advertise how friendly Malaysians are just to be F***ed up by you all... Think properly, if we are really that ethical and friendly, the government wont use our hard earn money to make such stupid advertisement to lure the tourist to come... all those money could be use to develop the country... inflasion will decrease...

Wake up Malaysians, Live up to the advertisement... don't let people believe that advertisements are just a con.. Be True Malaysians... Be ethical ... be friendly...

a closer look at the eyes wide shut..... eyes close but they are seeing

And we call ourselves Friendly Malaysian

Today... today... today.......... lots have happened... well, i weren't able to capture every single detail bt... bt... bt..... lol.... sigh.... oh well, look at the pictures below... what is wrong with all the pictures I took???? Is this how friendly Malaysian's are?? hogging a seat with our bag or belongings rather than giving it up to a needy person.. senior citizen? pregnant lady perhaps? sigh... well, i've witness senior citizen standing in public transport when young ppl sat comfortably without even blinking... pushing their way through just to sit... or cut u off ur cue without feeling guilty... come on Malaysians... where are your courtesy?? I've seen Pregnant ladies standing staring at ppl who are seated in hope for a seat... OI!! if u wanna accuse me of doing the same.. think again... I've no guilt in saying I give up my seats to the needy all the time...

ASKING ALL WHO READS MY BLOG... THE NEXT TIME ROUND.. RUSH IN TO FIGHT FOR A SEAT... AND WAIT FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED OF THOSE SEATS SO YOU CAN GIVE EM UP FOR THEM!! LOL... Thats what my intentions are when I grab a seat everyday... :P

Look at that... like its what the seats r meant for.. without guilt...

Look at that.. I gave up my seats for the needy and they place their bags and belongings on the seats... and they even rushed to my seat when I stood up...

one gone, another to go...

What is happening to this world??

As usual, Just a normal day in everyday life... on my way to college... a great day... and out of the blue... everything was ruin just because humans now don't know how to interact... lol... well... here is a picture.. of a lady who is so rude and unethical whom i came in contact with at Kelana Jaya LRT..... I care F*** who she is or her name is... bt tis lady.. gosh.. here is how it happened..

there I was, waiting happily at the front of the queue for minutes... when the train was about to reach... someone pushed me hard from behind.. thinking its the one behind me.. bt it was not... this lady... all the way from the ... i donno where... push her way through from the end of the queue.. and stand right in front of the opening door... push her way through once the door opened... " and I thought we must let the passengers out 1st before we board the train??" anyways... there were some senior citizens around.. bt she just push her way through to quickly sit there and has the nerve to pretend that nothing happened... lol

The face of the culprit... the lady in the middle....

well... I was running down from my college due to the Superbly efficient lift... one day... and as I was running... I felt something really amusing.... a signage which caught my attention.... haf you all ever notice.. every where in Malaysia... there are these signage which ask ppl not to smoke and right next to it... you see an ash tray placed on the table or somewhere near... or an old man sitted beside the "NO SMOKING" sign smoking? how efficient is tat? and the Gov talks bout how efficient they impliment the rules... yeah... on other things... why are they so blind in this issue when it concern the health of the society? PROMOTE WELL HEALTH BEING!! and look at all the medicine and supplements.... How much are we paying? The Gov is selling health.. not promoting it.... I was overseas and all the drug stores have promotions for the supplements now and then and I bottle of omega3 (Small) cost ₤2.99... equivelant to less than RM21... how much is it selling here?? so ..... promoting health or selling health to the rich?? what bout the poor and moderate?

What is happening to this world???

check out where they have the signage installed....

what a joke...

look at the cigarette butt

this is even closer... lol
