Happy New Year!!!

Wow, it’s been months since my last post. Reason: I haven’t a thing to post. At least this time I’ve more things to write about. First of all, I’ve started reading X-Men. Example, Scarlet in Glory (Wolverine’s wedding), Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Inferno, Bishop’s Crossing, Phalanx Covenant, Road to Onslaught Vol. 1 and a whole lot I can’t remember. 

  

Secondly, I just finish reading Who Needs a Superhero by H. Michael Brewer. This guy is a genius at relating comic stuff with Christianity. My favorite chapter is the Iron Man chapter where he relates Tony Stark to David (yes, from David and Goliath) who is an alcoholic and has wealth, women and a broken heart. My second favorite chapter is the Punisher vs. Green Arrow chapter where he stated each and every type of arrow used by Green Arrow over the years. Ok, got the books. Next, off to music. 

  

During the month of August, my group and I spent an entire month practicing for the performance for National Day and Hari Raya. It was really cool as this is the first time I played my guitar in school. I’ve also learn a lot of songs on my guitar like Sweet Home Alabama, Day Tripper and If I Fell in Love with You by the Beatles.Oh, and did I mention that I broke my capo?

Picture of me during the performance.

Moreover, a new member has been introduced to my family, Odin (the Cat). We were thinking of a name from Thundercat to Kit ‘Cat’ and ended up Odin (the King of Asgard and father to The Mighty Thor). Over all, life is good over here and I wish you all a good and happy new year. :) 

Happy National Day, Malaysians

Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule in 1957, celebrated on 31 August each year. This should not be confused with Hari Malaysia (Malaysia Day) when Malaysia was formed on 16 September 1963 together by Federation of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore....blah,blah,blah. (I'm not really a 'celebrate national day kind of person').

Hey guys, I'm still reading Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series. It is one of the best book I've ever read in my life. I've read Empire of Silver and The Conqueror which features on Genghis' grandsons, Mongke Khan, Hulegu, Arik Boke Khan and Kublai Khan and Ogedai's son, Guyuk Khan who was only Khan for a year. These are the books in this series:

You guys can visit http://www.conniggulden.com/ for more information on this series. I've also read The Immortal Iron Fist by excellent writers, Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction and amazing artist, David Aja. Its mind-exploding once you've finished reading the first three books (according to my father, vol. 1-3 is the best among the 5 vol.).

I guess that's all for now. :D

I AM KHAN!!!

According to my father, I've master my guitar playing and going to master my language (Chinese). Its been 4 years since I last read a single Chinese book. Now I'm reading  射鵰英雄傳 (The Legend of the Condor Heroes) and at the same time watching the original series in the 90's. This fantastic book tells the story of the young Genghis Khan 'till the death of him. As you know recently, I've been studying China history from 1195 'till the end of 1200. What I think of Genghis Khan is that he is a kind, intelligent and cares a lot about his wife type of person although some of you still think he is a barbaric king that kill babies and drink their blood .

 

Speaking of Khan, you guys should remember this quote, "Revenge is a dish best served cold"- Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II Wrath of Khan. Here's a funny thing :
