I must admit that i have done a grave sin... leaving my blog like this for over four months.... ah well i promise to make it up... but for now it's just something i wanna share.... I went to watch the Mummy 3 earlier... not a bad movie... friends say it's not good, parents and family loved it, so i decided to give it a try myself... i must admit i did admire the graphics and action, but i found the storyline and script rather a rush... it's like they tried to cramp 3hrs worth of movie into 2hrs... Anyway, there was this fight scene between General Ming's Wife (Michelle Yeoh) and the Emperor Chin (Jet Li). This is gonna sound weird at first, but while all the other viewers were excited and overwhelmed by the performance, i teared with pride and joy... Jet Li is someone i have admired for more than a decade. How he rose up from winning wushu competitions when he was young, to performing the first movies when he was only 17 years old. His movies impacted me a lot, even though i couldnt understand any of the dialogue... And Michelle Yeoh, a Malaysian, got to do a fight scene with him. Can you imagine? I used to think that Malaysia will never make it big in the movie industry... but then we have Datuk Michelle Yeoh, playing in big roles in movies like 007, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and now The Mummy 3... Movies that will last through the ages. And then there's Yasmin Ahmad's "Sepet", "Gubra" and "Mukhsin". Wonderful movies about a unwritten "forbidden love" in Malaysian settings, and won the Berlin International Movie Awards in the category of International Screening!!! Truly, Malaysia BOLEH! I know i'm a patirotic freak. NEVER missed a parade except when it's on Sunday (I go to church). But guys, look around... Times are changing... things are becoming possible... We are a nation of possibilities just waiting to explode and take the stand in global influence. I for one am glad, that for an Islamic State, Christian Studies in Malaysia is the Ceiling Mark for all of Asia to hope to achieve. An Islamic state, yet i can worship God freely and tell others about Him too... so much so that sometimes i feel we dont take the full opportunity available. Malaysians, be proud of your home country... pray for it, work for the better of your livelihood for her. She's a hibiscus, blooming as the sun shines... 
HEAVENLY FATHER, Thank you for looking at this nation. You have the whole world in Your hand, yet You also spend time to look at our little nation. Thank You for blessing it so richly. A country that's the benchmark and ceiling Mark of SEA, a country that allows me to call You my Father. Thank You for the oppotunities that You have revealed to us, and thank You for the blessings that is about to come. Father i pray that You'll continue to look at our country, and that someday, You'll save this nation through this thirsty generation of God seeking ppl. I pray for the government and kings, that they will have Your wisdom to lead this country to greater heights! Unity brings Success... Father let there be unity among the rakyat, that no longer we just see ourselves by our root-race, but also as proud MALAYSIANS. This I pray in Your Son's Precious name, Amen. |
