Babel

Not a new movie but a movie which I wanted to watch long time ago. The title itself has already hinted you it could be multi-language. Indeed it is. It tells a story of few people around the world who are somehow linked to each other. That's another way of telling six degree separation theory.

To cut story short: a tourist was unintentionally hurt by two brothers who got the riffle from their father who intentionally bought it from a friend whose rifle was originally given by a Japanese hunter cum tourist as a gift. As a consequence, the tourist and her husband couldn't make at home on time. Their kids had to follow their nanny to Mexico and unfortunate events happened. OK, each people mentioned has his/her story and struggle, and as one incident happens, it leads to consequence, sort of cause and effect.

The big question, why the rifle was given away? Why the Japanese went hunting? The movie doesn't give the answer...
You shouldn't jump to conclusion hastily just like the US government declared the shooting incident as terrorist attack. In fact, it was just an accident which was due to an act of proving who's right or wrong; an act of immaturality.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.

Dangers Men Face #1 - A Dangerous Journey

As we live our life in this fallen world, we are exposed to all sort of "dangers". Danger brings different meaning and experience to each individual. But the danger which we fear the most are the ones we do not see until it is too late. No doubt satan brings good disguise until the victim slowly entrapped into sweet temptation. Each one of us have dreams. Our dreams somehow change along the course of life. Most of the members felt that perspective and dream change as we follow Christ. Dangers come in whether we know it or not. If we are not aware, dangers will destroy our dreams. The members believe the prominent danger that Christians are facing is danger of dream. Christians tend dare not to have big dream (big dream for spiritual work). This could be due to biblical values which have molded the perspective of each Christians. Martin Luther did have a big dream. There are five dangers to be explored: danger of loss, danger of sin, danger of freezing, danger of witdrawal and...

Expo 2025 Osaka

Some photos to share from Expo 2025 Osaka (the country pavilions that I managed to visit). There were lots of people, and some pavilions required queuing for hours. The weather was unforgiving too—one day was hot and another day was rainy (I bought a two-day pass for the visit). I only manages to visit eleven country pavilions. Overall, it was fun but tiring.  Photos taken with iPhone 14.
