*Victory*

"You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival."
~Sir Winston Churchill~

Victory is an important word in every Military Organization. Everybody once it. Few get it. While most suffer the opposite. Some great military strategist are known never to lose. They were gifted by the Al-mighty. Such list include Alexander the great, Hannibal Barca, Napoleon Bonarparte and Saladin Al- Ayyub. What all these man have in common is nothing but one word Vision. They see what others do not. They sense what others do not. They seem unhuman. And yet they are.

Continuing on, victory has been discussed through history. William Hazzlitt once said,
If you think you can win, you can. Faith is necessary to victory.” Emily Dickinson once wrote "Not one of all the purple host Who took the flag to-day Can tell the definition So clear of victory, As he, defeated, dying, On whose forbidden ear The distant strains of triumph Break agonized and clear"

But what I really do want to discuss is what is personal victory. How do you know when you win a battle or lose the war? What makes it you the winner when there is no loser? In the words of the great Sir Winston Churchill "
...We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender..."

So until next time, TTFN.

The Present

" Learn from the yesterday, live for today, hope for tommorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."
~Albert Einstein~

Present. Today. Now. What do all these word have in common? It represents what is the moment. It is the only single thing that matters. This moment. This time. What we do will reverbirate into the history books. People will not sing it or worship it for generations to come but the earth that we walk on and the skies above us will. The birds will sing it to their children for generation's. You should belive in yourrself for you are worth more than you know. You alone can change the course of history with a single act. For through all this chaos that you see a certain order will emerge. You are part of a greater course.You think your nothing then think again.

So until next, TTFN.

"You may not love today, or tommorrow, or ever. But I will love you until it kills me and even ten you will be in my heart. "

*A Knights Tale*

For today's post, I'm going to write a quote that was said by the late Heath Ledger.(He was awesome in the Dark Knight). It is taken from the movie "A Knights Tale" which in my book is a great movie especially when it has the people singing "We will Rock You" at the beginning. This quote is the final product of the Letter that William (Heaths Character) to Joscelin (some actress).

Here it is:-

"It is strange to think, I haven't seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and the night. The hope that after you're gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you. "

Until next time, TTFN.

*Fights, Fights and more Fights*

"To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
~Sun Tzu~

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog. The only reason for that to happen is purely simple. I'm a member of the Two-headed turtle club. =)
But enough of that today's blog is about the top 5 fights scene ever. (Actually to date. Hopefully there will be better in the future.) So to the countdown:-

5. First on the list is the DUEL ON MUSTAFAR. This is between Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader on a field of molten lava. They say that the prequel trilogy was bad. But I beg to differ. This single part of the entire trilogy is worth making you spend more than six hours watching what happen before it. The intensity. The anger. It is just awesome.

4. Number four on the list is The Last Airbender vs the Fire Lord. The last Episode of the Series Avatat was a four part special. It told about personal conflicts and the importance of elders. But when the comet came and Ang had to fight the Firelord. He faced the the guy with a whole lot of Action but was outclassed. Until it his sore spot which unleashed his full POWER. One word, AWESOME.

3. Next, from Sword of the Stranger, the duel between Nanashi or No Name against Luo Lang. After a whole army was decimated by a bunch of Kung Fu Masters, only three people are left, Kotaro, Nanashi and Lua Lang. Luo Lang challenges Nanashi to duel. With great music and even greater moves. There's not much to say.

2.The Runner-Up is from the movie TROY. The duel between Achilles and Hektor is remembered vividly in my mind. They were like dancing.. Hektor was a bit hesistant while Achilles was something well choreographed. Eric Bana and Brad Pitt did and awesome job it.

1. The winner of the Best fight scenes go to Jet Li. He was Legendary in Fearless. Amazing to watch in Once upon a time in China. And mind Blasting in Nameless. Being a talented Wushu master it is no wonder he deserves this place in my book.

Eventhough there are many other great fight scenes such as the one in the Matrix, The Karate Kid and Rocky. But i choose these five for memorable reason. So until Next time , TTFN.

My 100th Post!!!

"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."
~Oscar Wilde~

I have now reached my 100th blog entry. WOHOO!!! So what is it about I hear you ask??? I have no idea. Maybe it should be about begginings or endings. Maybe about the possible future or the inevitable past. Hmmmm..... What to write? What to write?? What to write???

Firstly, the coming raya. It's just around the corner and hopefully it will a blast. Most importantly I'm getting myself two rubiks toys. Muahahahah!!! Next i would like to advise the humble massses that if you have an alarm clock that can wake up a whole bloke and yet you youre self cant wake up. What's THE BLOODY POINT OF HAVING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. And to have an annoying one that keeps saying KONICIWA at a high pitch can drive you to the edge of insanity.So please think about your ability to wake up before having an annoying alarm clock.

Lastly, I would like to wish everyone SELAMAT HARI RAYA and Maaf Zahir and Batin. (Kinokuniya here I come.) So until next time, TTFN.
