How is it going guys?
First of all, I would like to say Happy New Year to you all. Is nice to be back and I finally convinced myself to write something on my blog again.
In this very new year, I wish everyone will bring newly found prosperity, love, happiness and delight into your life.
When I say to write something here, I really mean it .. lol … that’s all for today.
I will try to write more next time. Have a good one 
All you need to do is to copy the “=” onward of the link into your blog post and put “youtube” and a space before the link that you copy from youtube, make sure you put the open and close bracket for the whole youtube link embed.
If you are still not sure what I am talking about here.
Here is the guideline:
From the link above http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJ4jAoc2BM&feature=related, I will just copy “SeJ4jAoc2BM&feature=related” and paste them into my blog post.
So it will be “[youtube" (paste whatever you copy from the link) "]“
Hope it helps.
How many of you have the answer for this question ? And what make you believe it?
If you take this question to most Christian, their answer will probably be “to heaven”.
But ironically me myself as a Catholic, I don’t really don’t have the belief of “people die and their soul will go to heaven”. I kept thinking of this question since I lost my grandaunt in May this year and it was the saddest thing ever happened in my life.
I have to say that I miss her a lot, possibly more than anybody, cause she is as close to me as my mom or even more than that. She is also the kindest person I have ever seen in my life and give me the greatest love. It is really hard for to get used to the world without her.
Ever since she was gone, what I kept myself thinking is “where is she now?” “Can she sees what I am doing now?” and sometimes l will have hard time to fall asleep in the silence night and I will get struck by the feeling telling me that “I still can’t believe that she is no longer with us”
I’m having hard time to deal with this complicated feeling inside me …
All I ask for is “God, please bring me out of this agony. If I believe in you, why I can’t believe that she is sitting right next to you in the heaven? And please tell her that I miss her a lot. Amen”
Cro cop
It was so disappointing to see Crocop demolished by the UFC new rising star “Junior Dos Santos” last Saturday night at UFC 103.
Crocop has always been one of my favorites MMA fighters since he was in his prime in PrideFC. His left head kick to the opponent’s head is always one of the highlight in MMA promotional video.
In his fight with Dos Santons, it was pretty obvious that Cro cop is going out of shape started in the first round of the fight. While Dos Santos was pushing forward to strike, all he can do was to counter the Dos santos’ attacks by pushing him away, and he repeated the same pattern over and over again throughout the whole fights.
It was really sad to watch a MMA superstar to be tortured by his opponent round after round, until he busted his eye socket and the cuts over his face.
The cro cop’s fight with Dos Santos suppose to be the comeback fight of Cro cop in the UFC to test himself against a bigger and stronger opponent. Instead of his big comeback, he has shown his lack of agility and power to counter a bigger and stronger striker.
And the following is quote by Cro cop after he defeated by Dos Santos, copied from Bloodyelbow:
I’ve been living a military life for 20 years now. Getting up at 6 A.M. and having physically challenging task up to 8 P.M. I want a normal life. I’m entering a cage and thinking about fishing in Privlaka. You can’t win that way. Maybe I should’ve quit after I won the open weight grand prix.
I think this is enough said for the fans that he is pretty done with his career and his passion for this sports is gone.
As his fan, I think is time to let this MMA legend retired, he had done enough for this sport and earned his respect.
Retire In Peace - Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović !!!
Oh crap !! I can’t even remember when is my last blog post, probably a couple months ago.
It is always a struggle for me to start writing a new blog post, whenever I start writing, my over consciousness start kick in and it makes me concern about how people will view my writing, and the writing reflect how people think who I am.
I think something was wrong with my first intention of starting this blog. At the very beginning, this blog is meant to be something for me to leave the track on my progress of building malaysiaflavors.com, but since then, the progress is not just slowing down but also deteriorated.
Besides, writing blog also make me realize myself as a very private person, I don’t feel free to talk about my family, life, thought, and sharing photos and stuffs on the web.
What should I do now to my blog? What should I write about? What is my niche?
Have you encounter same feeling while you are writing blog?
I find this video very interesting. It is about if we are really rational when we come to make decision.

MOVIE REVIEW : A+
I have recently watched a really good Chinese film named “Red Cliff“, and this is probably one of the best movies I have ever watched. I normally don’t watch Chinese film too often, since Chinese film has always give me a bad impression about how ridicule they can make the story line look like and the computer effect that they used in the movie is kind of suck compare to Hollywood.
However, Red cliff is different.
Red Cliff (Chinese: 赤壁), also known as The Battle of Red Cliff, is a Chinese epic film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs and events during the end of the Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China.
If you are Chinese, or if you know any story of Three Kingdoms《三國志》, you will definitely like this movie.
———————————————————————————–
Here are some movie intro from Wikipedia.com
The film is expected to be released in two versions. Within Asia, Red Cliff was released in two parts, totaling over four hours in length. The first part was released in July 2008 and the second in January 2009. Outside of Asia, a single 2½ hour film will be released in 2009, according to the source from Wikipedia.
The film was directed by John Woo, and stars Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi-ling and Zhao Wei. With an estimated budget of US$80 million, Red Cliff is the most expensive Asian-financed film to date. The first part of the movie alone grossed out $124 million in Asia and broke the box office record previously held by Titanic in mainland China.[4]
Director John Woo said in an interview with CCTV-6 that the film will use primarily the historical record Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms as a blueprint for the Battle of Red Cliffs, rather than the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As such, traditionally vilified characters such as Cao Cao and Zhou Yu will be given a more historically accurate treatment in the film.
————————————————————————————
Of course, now you can watch Part 1 and 2 of this movie via online streaming program such as PP Stream (That’s where I watch it :D)
PP stream is a Chinese peer-to-peer streaming video network software. Since the target user is in Chinese mainland, and oversea Chinese, therefore, the software is only in Chinese. The software is pretty handy though, cause you get to watch almost all American TV series, just like how Hulu.com works, but PP Stream has more choices.

Thank you for reading and I hope you will like this movie as much as I do.
The result of UFC 97
Steve Cantwell vs. 
Luiz Arthur Cane
Cheick Kongo vs. 
Antoni Hardonk
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Brian Stann Chuck Liddell vs. Mauricio Rua
Sam Stout vs. Matt Wiman Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
After writing out my prediction of UFC 97 couple weeks ago, my prediction was partially correct, but I didn’t expect this UFC event in Montreal can be so lame. I would like to say it is the worst ever. Especially the main event of the evening, where Anderson Silva fought 5 rounds straight (Championship bout is 5×5 minutes round) with lacking of his engagement and execution into the fight. Even though Silva won the fight by unanimous decision over Thales, he shouldn’t be proud of himself as all. Also, it is obvious that in order to make Silva into his only chance to win. UFC needs to push some of the more offensive fighters into the title contention picture, but it definitely has to be striker type fighter like Wanderlei Silva, but not BJJ type fighters like Thales and Damian Maia.
After UFC 97’s terrible main event, you can also tell that Thales is an one-dimensional fighter whose game plan is setting the trap to let his opponent to fall into, especially from where we can see him flop to the ground countless times to setup a Jiu jitsu game. On the other hand, Silva lets Thales got up after everytime he flops seems like his intentions to make Thales looks bad, because if Silva is what so called pound-for-pound fighter, he should be able to finish Thales even though he is on the ground. Both fighters made the main event seems like a dancing game in the cage.
However, the co-main event is slightly better than the main event, at least you get to see the fighters trading punches and KO win by Shogun was pretty impressive and unpredictable. But it is kind of surprise to see it ended in the very first round, where Chuck barely touched Shogun. On top of that, Chuck Liddell’s retirement after the fight from UFC is also a big news in MMA world. But it is what it is in MMA world, after you lose for a few fights streak, you are out of this game. I’m never a Liddell’s fan, but I always enjoy watching him exchange with the fighter in the cage, therefore, it is kind of sad to see a legend leaving the ring like that.
On the post fight press conference of UFC 97, Dana White has come out publicly stating the matchup was “embarrassing” in an interview with Steve Cofield. The big question coming out of the interview and event is how the UFC should react, and what can be done to bolster a more exciting matchup for Anderson Silva.
The following is the video of Dana White’s apologize to the fans…
