The people that inspire me

In some stages of a person's life, there are bound to have someone who appear whom you will look up to and inspire to be. This person could be a friend, a teacher, movie star or maybe even just someone whom you see on the streets. It could be his charisma or the image he portrays. It could even be the way he speaks. In most cases, it's the quality which you lack or yearn for but it exists in another person.

Me too, during some stages of my life have met people who inspire me. However in almost all cases, those are people whom I do not know and they are mainly celebrities.

Andy Lau
I was a huge fan of his when I was in Secondary School. I bought all his CDs and watched almost all of his movies. I liked him because he is extremely charming and doesn't look like he is in his forties already. His determination and will to succeed is something that sets him apart from the others. That also explains why after some 20 years in the business, he is still at the top.

I do think at times how I will look like when I turn 40. Receding hairline, thick waistline and wrinkles that stretch like the MRT lines or look something like him. At the age of 23 and I looked myself in the mirror and I feel that the former is a higher possiblility.

Zidane
This guy is moving art. From the way he strokes the football and how he moves on the field is like watching art and football combined into one. Arguably the best footballer of this generation, this Frenchman had won everything possible in the footballing world. He has the vision and skills to split any defence into two and oh, he certainly knows how to split one's chest into two too.

Chow Yuen Fatt
The epitome of charisma. He has one of the most charming smiles I have ever seen and possess all the attributes of a superstar. You should see the way he shoots the gun in his movies. It's his style that people are trying to copy and emulate even today.

Geogre Best
A former footballer who died recently at the age of 59. This guy lived the life. Football, babes, booze, parties and lots of money. What more can a man ask for?

Some movie reviews

Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
I have never seen part 1 nor 2 before but my friends have told me that this is a new story altogether. Despite it being a race car movie, I was quite surprised that there aren't that many race scenes compared to other movies of the same theme. It's still quite an entertaining movie to watch as it still has a decent storyline.

Ratings: 6.5/10

Click
A universal remote control that controls the universe around you. You can fast forward your life or rewind back to the past though you can't change anything of the past. But are you sure that this device has got no flaws? Unexpectedly funny and very entertaining as well.
