#273: Camperiffic

Hello children,
How are you all today?
It's poem time with Cedric,
I've got a few things to say.

Live. Revolution,
A camp of difference,
I feel is what we needed,
Not something of our preference.

All glory to God,
After all- camp is ALL about Him,
Hopefully the campers realized that,
Without Him we'd be nothing.

Not to mention some unmentionables,
Wait- that didn't make much sense,
Let's say I'd rather not talk about it,
But to laugh over it with 'some friends'.

As for now my work is over,
The holidays have begun,
I'd label camp a fair success,
With all the work the camp comm had done.

Of 'Mickeys' and Captain Awesomes,
Water balloons and dodgeball,
Camp rocked.
And children, that is all.

#272: How I won a Mac. No, not the Apple kind.

Twoallbeefpatties, specialsaucelettucecheese, picklesonionsonasesameseedbun!

Big Mac never tasted that good.


*Points down* That was supposed to be my last post, but this is post-worthy anyway.

Don't you dare have a better holiday than me.

#271: Boomshakalaka

Less than 72 hours 'til camp. God help us through our last-minute madness- I'll be nice. I promise.



Podcast 33!



Show me someone who can resist watching a movie with a title like that and I'll show you my pink, French-speaking pet rhino with green polka dots.


Characterized by sarcasm, dry humor, and ALOT of Muslims, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World was worth my two hours. A must-watch for those who never found Chris Rock or slapstick funny.


This is my last post for the month.

Boom boom. Bang.

Coming soon: Camp updates, and 'Women are Cars'!

#270: H is for Holiday

No math, science, and history- The world is now a happier place.

Just for two weeks. But I'll take it anyway.

Secured numero uno on Karlyn's top ten list of people she wants to kill. Boom baby!

#269: Prince Caspian

I labeled Andrew Adamson's film adaption of the book 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe' a failure. Not a hint of the enchantment the book provided was evident in the movie. However, Adamson more or less won me over with the second film installment of the Narnia series, 'Prince Caspian'.

Vast improvement was obvious in 'Prince Caspian'. No more 'kiddy violence' (not exactly my 'gore standards', but it'll do for now), impressive battle/fighting scenes, and Susan looks, ahem, better. (not the hottest chick on the block, but who's complaining?) *grin*


It would have made it up there with 'The Lord of the Rings' on my action movies list, had it not been for some small 'mistakes' Adamson and his team made, like straying away from the actual storyline- adding unneeded romance, adding a few scenes I don't remember reading about in the book (I should read it again), and missing out on a few of my favorite 'scenes' from the book.

A movie well done altogether. The future for Narnia's film adaptions looks bright.

P/S- Y'might wanna stay back for the credits. It features a certain band from San Diego, and no, it's not blink-182.

Random fact: Switchfoot is from San Diego.

#268: A Cow Went To The Moo-vies

I was giving up on catching The Prestige after many months, and would have never watched it if it wasn't for a schoolmate who brought the DVD to school. But now it finds itself in my 'Favorite Movies of All-time' list. Decent performances by Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Hugh Jackman, a fair share of Scarlett Johansson, and a brilliant storyline- Chalk The Prestige up your 'To Watch' list.


Awake. Try to do that while watching the film. Only reason the movie wasn't a TOTAL bore was, you guessed it, bodies getting cut open Jessica Alba. (Notice I didn't mention anything about 'that Hayden guy', ladies)


Russell Crowe as a cop? Denzel Washington as a drug kingpin? The makers of American Gangster thought the unlikely, and as a result, made a pretty good film about the darker side of the 'american dream'. If you're looking for a feel-good, wholesome, family movie, stay away from this film.

In other news, Creative Compositions has been updated.

#267: Of a Japanese funk jazz band and a pretty Irish-Japanese

The Outer Rim served up one heck of a night. Funk jazz at its best. Second best concert this year only to Switchfoot.


And Marie Digby didn't dig it, Josh. The organizers should never have made it a free concert in a freeloading land like Malaysia. And I'd have gone to her YouTube channel and would have been treated to better sound. She's prettier in real life, though. (Silver lining!)

#266: I need...

-to fill in my new sketchbook. *grin*


-start designing again and get some ringgit in my wallet.


-write a bucket list.


-create a portfolio or an official webpage. Fuh.


All this when I'm DONE with camp.

#265: Of Narnia, The Golden Avenger, and Camp

Add Prince Caspian to my 'Movies to Watch' list. Sure, the first movie was decent, but nonetheless a flop compared to the magic of the book. Won't be placing high hopes on this second installment, but I believe the directors of the film can only build on their mistakes from the previous film, and eventually when the time comes, hopefully make Voyage of the Dawn Treader one heck of a movie.

And Switchfoot wrote a song just for the film.



And filmed a music video.


I had mixed feelings for Iron Man. For a record-breaking box office sales film, I expected more. The first half started off really, really well.

Then came the second half.

Nothing spectacular, it was all too familiar. (I'd have filled this space with the all too familiar scenes, but I'm not the movie spoiler kind of person.) Maybe because I was never really a fan of Tony Stark and his iron suit. But as of now, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins still stands as my favorite superhero movie.

Nothing beats the comics though.


And camp draws closer. God help me.

#264: Spring

More upbeat tunes, inspiring lyrics, and a female voice (Sara Watkins from Nickel Creek)- Spring is the best EP released by Jon Foreman so far.

#263: The Battle...

...between good and bad music rages on.


Sure, you can send Sean Kingston over...


...but soon enough, hope will arrive.

Marie Digby Says It Again in Malaysia

#262: Lions For Lambs

A must-watch for thinkers, intellectuals, and aspiring politicians.

I don't fit the three, but surprisingly enjoyed it very much. One of, if not the best films of the year so far.

Note: If you're an action junkie who hates thinking and just couldn't find Calvin and Hobbes funny, skip this movie.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
