No Good Deed (From Our Daily Bread May 2, 2008 Fri)

From Our Daily Bread : May 2, Friday

~ No Good Deed ~

Playwright and US Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987) once said, "No good deed goes unpunished." Sadly, it sometimes seems as if this aphorism is true.

David, soon to be king of Israel, had an experience that corroborates this idea. While hiding from Saul, he and his men watched over the property of a rich landowner named Nabal. But later, when David asked a favor of Nabal, he was met with scorn. "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has," said David. "He has repaid me evil for good" (1 Sam. 25:21).

Before David could carry out revenge, Nabal's wife intervened and kept David from acting rashly. Soon, God struck Nabal dead (v.38). Then David praised God for keeping him from evil and for returning "the wickedness of Nabal on his own head" (v.39).

Perhaps you've had an experience when kindness was repaid with ingratitude, a generous gift was treated as an entitlement, kind actions were interpreted as an attempt to control, or well-intended advice was received with scorn.

David's story reminds us that even when it seems as if we're being repaid with evil for doing good, we don't have to take matters into our own hands; we can trust God with the outcome. - Julie Ackerman Link

~One day God will right every wrong. ~

My story, my life: Today's daily bread story coincides with my life event. Today has not been a good day for me. I guess sometimes being good is hard when the people don't appreciate the things you are doing for them or just don't see (literally) it. I have been working hard, trying all my might to help or support a customer of mine. Helping is not help.. we gave our courtesy support and yet...Actually is considered a minor case. but i am saddened by it, although i am not the victim directly. just like the "daily bread story" above, when you were met with scorn you know you aren't appreciated. after reading it, I knew exactly what I should do :} ... of course the right way !

Another real life event story came from last week, my car was scratched by a Ford four wheel drive car. I knew it because he practically trying to squeeze in between my car and the other car next to me. I really don't know how he do it, but he did it. However, I did not scratch his car back. Now in this case, I don't apply the "you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours back" concept. I hope we can all repay those evil people with good.. sometimes you may not be appreciated, but in the end, it'll all be good... ;} world peace !

                            

27 Dresses movie

27 Dresses

27_dresses

Director: Anne Fletcher
Screenwriter: Alice Brosh McKenna

Starring: Katherine Heigl, James Marsden, Malin Akerman, Ed Burns, Melora Hardin, Judy Greer
Running Time: 1hr 47 mins

Release Date:

January 18th, 2008 (wide)

Genre: Comedy, Romance

The Story:

Jane (Katherine Heigl) is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless--a perennial bridesmaid whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess (Akerman) captures the heart of Jane's boss--with whom she is secretly in love--Jane begins to reexamine her "always-a-bridesmaid..." lifestyle.

The Movie/My Story:

Watched this on the 23rd March 08, the sneak preview day. Showing next Thursday, 27th March 08 in KL Msia. The movie was alright but not as much as I like it to be...the chemistry was not strong enough for the lead actors, kinda predictable, but still nice overall. I like to see Katherine Heigl though with her sweetest smile, which can just melt your heart... In the movie, she had always been the bridesmaid and for 27 times! but the next one will be really special (not what you're thinking :P...hehe)>>>find out yourself...watch the movie! It was a beautiful night to watch it so funny :D... this is for you to find out... hahaha ...

Movie Moral of the story: Do not keep secret from anybody, especially your love one or that might be your love one (like jane & kevin), or to who you will get married to/with (like tess & george), tell the truth!, good favor to everyone multiplies the favor in return~the good multiple folds (:} sounds good), be open minded and let your feelings show and pour your hearts out to the one you love when you know he/she is the one... to the one and only. Happy Loving! :} ~solute~

Playboy Cops (2008)

Playboy Cops

Release Date 28 February 2008
Language Cantonese
Classification 18PL
Running Time 1 hour 39 minutes
Director Jingle Ma
Cast Shawn Yue, Linda Chung, Aloys Chen, Shaun Tam, Wong You Nam, Danny Lee, Lin Chun

The Story:

An extremely brutal armed robbery case has brought two very unusual young detectives together in Hong Kong. Both men have been known not to follow the usual rules of conduct in solving crimes. Lincoln, the younger brother of the deceased, an ex-policeman in China, has sworn to find the man who has murdered his brother. While he investigates the murder on his own in Hong Kong, he meets Michael (Shawn Yue), a CID officer on suspension. Michael has often been warned against insubordination and for pulling his own stunts like using his own private helicopters to capture criminals on the run. 

The Movie/My Story:

Watched this movie last Thursday, 28th Feb 2008. An action/drama movie that comes with a good advice for everyone... to cherish the people and things around you when they/it is around. And also never think that money can solve all problems, even love. In the movie, Michael (acted by Shawn Yue) tried to shower Lisa (Linda Chung) with expensive gifts (cars, flowers) when he knew she was in love with the other guy. Even though he had all the money in the world, she chose Lincoln, whom is more mature & sensitve person, though he may die anytime soon. Find out why in the movie... The other part was that in the end, Michael (Shawn Yue) realized that money isn't everything when his father (a rich tycoon) was bankrupt and the most important thing is to care for the people he love or spend time with when he was alive. It's rather sad as he was out of time. Some things just can't be brought back alive - LIFE... When it is gone, we can't turn back the hands of time... I wish I could see my mum the last time before she past on. I was still studying abroad at that time... She will always be in my heart...

Take note, there are lots of other advice in the movie... it may be crappy at first but it does good overall, the values it tries to reach out... hope you like the movie too...

Quotes (not from the movie):

Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich. Proverbs 23:4 GNT

There is nothing wrong with us possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess us - Billy Graham.

Language: Cantonese
Running Time: 129 mins
Rating: 18SG
Genre: Crime / Action
Starring: Wu Jing, Shawn Yue, Jaycee Chan, Nicholas Tse, Andy On
etc
Directed by: Benny Chan

The Story:

An armoured truck is secretly transporting $100 million for a US bank when it is hijacked by a band of robbers calling themselves the 'Ronin Gang'. The gang blows up the truck and makes off with all the cash. Three young detectives, led by Chan Chun (Nicholas Tse), are soon assigned to thwart another massive bank robbery organised by the Ronin Gang.

The Movie/My Story:

Violence, Violence, Violence!

          Explosion, Explosion, Explosion !

One funny part was when they show the male bonding after a fight together. Real funny especially with Jaycee in it. hahaha ... ewwww...

Another funny part is where afterJaycee has performed CPR scene, when he talked with his grandma. He told her he had a 'ta kei lun' (kisskiss), the grandma thought it was with a lady and so asked him to bring the girl back to have dinner together, only to find out it was with a streetguy (during CPR) later on...Grandma responded "lam chai dou oi sek fan ma" (guyz also need to eat what). kakaka.....

The rest are just violence, explosion, fighting, cruelty scenes, the infernal affairs movie bits ~ a mole in the police department and an undercover cop. Also shows that sometimes the bad guys have a 'heart' too. But then again, still have no good ending.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of violence. No fighting please. Thanks!

The Lockhorns (Our Daily Bread - 21 June)

Something to share with all of you especially :}
Since today is my special day... hehe :>

~June 21, 2007, Thursday~

The LOCKHORNS
Since 1968, the characters in the comic strip The Lockhorns have been exchanging barbs of bitter wit and marital contempt. Currently syndicated in more than 500 newspapers, the cartoon entertains millions of readers as Leroy says things like this to Loretta: "Sure we can talk now. Just don't stand in front of the television." Loretta, at no loss for words or jabs, is just likely to say something like, "Sure I spend more than you make. I have confidence in you."

While laughing, we might catch a glimpse of ourselves. Sarcasm is all too common, and far more serious than we might want to believe. Heartless sarcasm can be more harmful than physical bruises. Solomon said there are people who use words like a sword (Prov. 12:18), and that evil words can crush the spirit (15:4).

Controlling our speech isn't easy, because the real problem is not our words but our hearts. Behind the insults, we are likely to find in ourselves an insecurity, fear, or guilt that tempts us to protect ourselves at the expense of another.

Is there any upside to abusive words? No, unless we take them as a warning that we're not in step with Christ. In His embrace and grace, let's not lash out at one another in an effort to protect ourselves. - Mart De Haan

Instead of hurling angry words
That wound and stir up strife,
Use words of kindness, filled with love,
That heal and nourish life.
- Sper

~Abusive language reveals a sinful heart~

With love, Lyd

The Movie/Sequel/My Story:

The movie/sequel better than the first one. Watched the premiere on 14th June 2007 in the Gold Class cinema hall. A sure way to enjoy the movie- hotdogs, calamari rings with fries, drinks, etc... Was hungry that's why... Back to the movie... before that something funny happened. When we went in to the hall, there was nothing on the screen yet. So I was happily chatting with my fren, when they suddenly turn on the projector with a blasting sound!!!!!!, that I got a sudden shock of my life. Seriously... And before that, something more funny. Hahahaha You'll laugh at me :D ahhahahaa... After we sat down on the chair, we were supposed to pull the trigger at the side of it to activate a.k.a lengthen the chair for us to relax our legs. My friend pulled it when I wasn't ready......! Guess what happened?! Hahahahahahahaha :D my sandals came off and fly high it went....dooppp~~~ Oooops~~~dropped right in front of my seating area.... kakakakaka damn funny. Luckily it didn't fly to the table/people in front of us. Phew~~~ My bad... haha

Now, back to the movie, hehehe... Most of the people think it is better than the first chapter. Some say it is better than Spider-Man 3. Some say they should call the movie "Flamboyantly foolish: the rising trends of stupid sequels". Some love the movie simply because Jessica Alba is in it. Well, you be the judge. For me, quite fantastic. But quite boring in the beginning, kind of slow. As it builds up, more actions, that's where the fun began. I like the Silver Surfer cool visual, surfer board visual and all the movie's special effects. Story line was so so. Overall OK. Issues highlighted in the movie including unity, teamwork, emphathy, priorities, etc. In reality, try grabbing a handful of chopsticks and break it with your hands. It is rather difficult to break comparing with only 1 chopstick. Unity and trust are the keywords especially in the real world organisation. Apart from that, like the recent super-hero movie, Spiderman, it also highlights the issue of CHOICES as shown in Silver Surfer character. He chose not to.....................{go watch the movie to find out!} :} :P

Anyway, I love the fact that they 'tour' us around with places around the world ~ Eygpt, Japan, China, Germany, etc etc. It's really cool. You can see the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Tower, Beijing Great Wall of China, the Pyramid in Gyza and so on.

What's your favourite character of the Fantastic Four?

Genre: Action/Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequel and Adaptation

The Story:

Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care for him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves.

The Movie/Sequel/My Story:

It was a great movie! Getting better. This time I get to watch it at Gold Class cinema hall on the release day. Leather seats, laid back and enjoy... So good... No rush and no long queue. If you hate to line up, opt for this. You won't regret :} . This movie is totally sold out for all normal bookings. Totally totally sold out! Hahaha... This sequel brings about the power and control issue, revenge, friendship, love, forgiveness, making things right, choices. "Revenge is like a poison" It can take us over if we let it be. You will lose yourself to it. Can you overcome this? How about power? Many people are fighting for power because it feels good to have power. For me, power and revenge is not what I seek. I prefer to forgive and have the peace of mind. "We have to forgive each other of everything we were or we are nothing"... "You'll find the way to put things right"... Powerful words yet impactful. In Life, we need to stop and reflect on the things we have done, do, or going to do. Is it ethical for us to do certain things? Are we at the right path? Where are we heading to? Are we doing things at the expense of others? How did we treat people? etc..... In Life, we are given choices. It's up to us to judge and realise the things that we do and make the right choice through righteousness, and our conscience. Somehow though, people will still go to the other extreme even though they know it is not right due to certain circumstances. Like in Spider-Man 3 movie, Sandman is in need of money to cure his daughter's illness. So he went to steal money. He has good intention but morally, the action is wrong. I guess it's better to think of an alternative way to solve it. Not easy. Imagine yourself in that situation, what will you do? But somehow you'll need to find a better way. Try not to take the easy way out which may be a disaster for you in the end.

In the movie, I like the fact that they put through the message through aunt May that a man have to be understanding and always put his wife before himself. Will you? Can you? Is it always about yourself (man)? Did you try to listen to your wife/gf when they are down? Do you do things that make your wife/gf mad? Do you hide things from her? And vice versa. Girls, are you unfaithful to your husband? Do you care for him? A relationship is a 2 way thing. You'll know when you know... :}

Apparently, the little girl who sold the camera to the head of the daily newspaper, was the daughter of the director, Sam Raimi. And some other casts are his relatives. Anyway, there should be Spider-Man 4 next time.

Now, what is the reflection on your mirror?

True Wealth & Contentment [in Simple Living For You]

There is nothing that makes men rich and strong but that which they carry inside of them. True wealth is of the heart, not of the hand. -John M.

Making more money won't guarantee you a simpler life - only living within your means can do that.

You can dress, eat, drive, travel, and play the part of a person of wealth without a cent in your pocket. However, playing King or Queen for most people can only be a temporary role. Tomorrow always comes, and with it comes complications.

Contentment is an invisible line. It's the line between "I need" and "I want."

My Story:                                                                                                      

the Holiday is so good! I LoVe it! If you love romantic comedy type of movie, you'll love it too! Well, I've got free passes tickets from a friend (no, not because it's free, i still love the show!..haha). I've 2 additional tickets which are not utilised. So at the cinema, I saw one couple waiting in line to buy their tickets, if not mistaken, they were waiting for those release tickets to book the seats ('cos they were waiting at the side of the counter). I touched the girl by the hand, and asked "Hey, are you watching the Holiday?". No, she replied. Initially I thought the free passes was only for the Holiday movie. Fortunately, it can be utilised for other movies too. Then, I quickly gave them the free passes. They were surprised... "Are you sure?"  "Yes..." "Thanks..."and off they went to the counter. It's good to see Happy faces. The joy of giving is indescribable... ;}

About the Holiday, it's really interesting to watch how both girls, one city girl and the other country girl, switch their homes, and all the dramas in it... It's so fun, so funny, so touching, so emotional, so real, so lovely... Yes it is a predictable kind of show, yet it is nice with some catchy conversations, cool actors and actresses, you've gotta watch it. Yes, guys do cry in real life...It may not be like the girl's, but it could be that one single drop shed of tear from him...that makes all the difference... I've seen it before. It's truly and deeply. Nevertheless, this show has its good ending, the warmth, the joy, the love, the peace... Overall good. An 'A+' from me... Top chick flick movie, but hey guys, you will like it too. Recommended for everyone :} Tomorrow is a holiday here. Happy Holiday ! ......01.02.07

~I'm going off for a Holiday next week till 12.02.07. Peace out. Ciao.

Prediction 2007 - Chinese Horoscope - Part 2

Horse Born in: 1930 1942 1954 1966 1978 1990 2002

Personality

Cheerful, quick-witted and popular. With a happy outlook, independent, subjective and self-centered. She is also good at handling wealth.

A person born in this year is said to be cheerful, popular and quick- witted. He has raw sex appeal rather than straight good looks. Earthy and warmly appealing, he is very perceptive and talkative. His changeable nature may lead him to be hot-tempered, rash and headstrong at times. The unpredictable- able horse will fall in love easily and fall out of love just as easily.

In most cases the Horse will leave home early. If not, his independent spirit will goad him to start working or to take up some career at an early age. An adventurer at heart, still he is noted for his keen mind and ability to manage money. Self-reliant, vivacious, energetic, impetuous and even brash, the Horse is a showy dresser, partial to bright colors and striking designs to the point of being gaudy on occasion.
