"Battle of the Heroes"

This is it!

Duel in Mustafar!


Anakin has turned to the Dark Side.
Padme desperately tries to convince him to leave everything behind while they still can.
Obi-Wan has to destroy the Sith, even if it means killing his one-time student.



Padme : "Anakin, all I want is your love."
Anakin : "Love won't save you Padme, only my new powers can!"
Padme : "At what cost? You're a good person. Don't do this!"
Anakin : "I have become more powerful than any Jedi have ever dreamed of. And I'm doing this for you. To protect you."



Padme : "Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything behind while we still can!"
Anakin : "Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the galaxy. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I-I can overthrow him. And together you and I can rule the galaxy, make things the way we want them to be!"
Padme : "I don't believe what I am hearing. Obi-Wan was right... you've changed!"
Anakin : "I don't want to hear about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me!"
Padme : "I don't know you anymore! Anakin... you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I can't follow!"
Anakin : "Because of Obi-Wan?"
Padme : "Because of what you've done... what you plan to do! Stop, please, I love you!"




Anakin : "Liar! You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!"
Padme : "*gasp* No!"
Obi-Wan : "Let her go Anakin! LET. HER. GO."



Anakin : "You turned her against me!"
Obi-Wan : "You have done that yourself!"
Anakin : "You will not take her from me!"
Obi-Wan : "Your greed and lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now... until now you have become the very evil you swore to destroy."

Anakin : "Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi... I do not fear the Dark Side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom and security to *my* new Empire!"
Obi-Wan : "*Your* new empire?? Anakin, my allegience is to the Republic, to Democracy!"


Anakin : "If you are not with me, then you are my enemy!"
Obi-Wan : "Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I have to do what I must."
Anakin : "You will try..."


Battle of the Heroes!






Obi-Wan: "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!"

Anakin : "You underestimate my powers!"
Obi-Wan : "Don't try it..."


Obi-Wan : "You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it to darkness!"


Anakin : "I HATE YOU!"
Obi-Wan : "You were my brother Anakin... I loved you."




Lava consumes Anakin and Obi-Wan leaves, letting the Force decide on Anakin's fate...


Palpatine with his Shock Troopers rescue Anakin: "There he is... he's still alive! Get a medical capsule immediately!"

... and the final transformation to Darth Vader!





Vader : "Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?"

Palpatine: "It seems in your anger, *you* killed her."
Vader : "I?! I couldn't have! She was alive, I felt it!"


"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"Finally..."

Have you ever wanted to buy something, and then thought, "Maybe its too expensive/I don't need it... etc"? But you can't really get it out of your head, so you finally decided to buy it. And when you are back at the shop, the worst thing happened: Someone bought the last one! OMG... That's what happened to me. I searched everywhere, but never saw it again...

What item is tat?
Anakin's Green Jedi Starfighter (Toys R' Us Exclusive)


What's so special about it?
This was the starfighter that Anakin flew to Mustafar after he became Darth Vader. Yeah, blink and you miss it.

The retail price was RM139.90. But the peak price I saw was USD100 in eBay when ppl are still crazy about Star Wars III:Revenge of the Sith! :'(

But they say if you are patient enough, you will get to buy it at cost price... eventually...

Yeah, and finally 2 years later (last week), some guy put it up on eBay at Rm128! And now it is finally in my collection!!!!!!! Ok, actually after 2 years, I don't really care whether I have it or not. Haha.... Oh well........

All to create this particular diorama...

Kissing goodbye before the fateful encounter in Mustafar


More dioramas...
Flying to Mustafar to take care of the Separatists.
"R2, stay with the ship"
The new Sith lord....


And the complete set of 4 starfighters which appeared in the movie:
Yellow: Anakin's starfighter (seen in the battle over Coruscant)
Red: Obi-Wan's starfighter (same)
Blue: Obi-Wan's starfighter (during the hunt for General Grievous on Utapau)
and the Green one.

"Peter Pan - Mungkin Nanti"

Recommend to you a superb song: I remember the first time I heard it was when Annie requested it during karaoke.. I thought wtf is this...:-S
*Now* I know :P



And the lyrics to sing along to!

Saatnya ku berkata mungkin yang terakhir kalinya
Sudahlah lepaskan semua kuyakin inilah waktunya
Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi

Dan mungkin bila nanti kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin saat semua disini

Dan bila hatimu termenung bangun dari mimpi2mu
Membuka hatimu yang dulu cerita saat bersamaku
Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi

Dan mungkin bila nanti kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin saat semua disini

Tak usah kau tanyakan lagi simpan untukmu sendiri
Semua sesal yang kau cari semua rasa yang kau beri

"Waste money"


Yup, that's the verdict for Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surfer: Waste money!


**** Spoilers ahead, but I think you wouldn't really care ****





+ Points:
Human Torch v Silver Surfer: It's cool, that's for sure.
Jessica Alba as Susan Storm: She absolutely glows! Sexiest star? You bet!


- Points:
Short: Barely 1.5 hours!
Unbelievable: The Silver Surfer can speak English... Hahah...
Anti-climatic: End battle is ridiculously short. And F4 doesn't have a hand in beating Galactus!
Illogical: If the Surfer could destroy Galactus so easily, why not do it much earlier la....

All in all Unsatisfying! :(

(But.... I will be looking for the figure of Susan Storm to add to my collection... :P)

"Turbulence!"


The truth is, these few weeks have been very turbulent emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes (most of the time) I feel like the guy on the left, full of fire and fury... Once in awhile, I *remind* myself to be more like the gal on the right... totally at peace with herself and the world (but it's damn hard!)

So what's wrong? Work, life, everything......... well, biasa la rite? Ahh, but it all adds up... it never goes away.... until the problem is solved... Hmm, from the looks of it rite now...quite unlikely!

Karam says he loses his temper sometimes... Me too... This morning, for some stupid reason, I nearly tried to bang a car who wouldn't let me cut into his lane! What was I thinking?! Crazy eh...

On a brighter side, a few things are keeping me happy... For one, my new team mates are starting to warm up to me.. not to say that they weren't nice previously... its jz tat normally these things take time and effort.

Secondly, Karam shared with me the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 soundtrack. It's really cool; brings you back to the adventure and fun of the movie! And Wai Maie shared this: "卫兰 - Do You Know", a really beautiful album which I can't stop listening... very soothing to a tortured soul...............

Heheh... chatting with LayKoon just now also helps... looks like you understand me a lot better than I thought! Thanks for spending the time.... :)

Gosh, after writing this I feel a *bit* better, but I think still need more Johnie to get over the day! Cheers, mate?

"Life is Wonderful Again..."

Sometimes life doesn't go the way you expect it to...
Sometimes all you get for trying is a slap to the face...
Sometimes all you wanted was to do the right thing...
Sometimes the people you count on lets you down...
Sometimes people keep telling you what to do....
Sometimes you just want to give up...


Well, when that time comes, there's a friend I can always count on... a good 'ol buddy....
















Johnnie! ;)


After a few glasses, all those irritating voices in your head goes quiet....

No more worries........
No more sleepless nights.......

Ahh... Life *is* wonderful again!
