4 is never an auspicious number for Chinese. I am sure many believe that 4 bring bad luck therefore they changed from 4 to 3A. If you are Chinese Muslim for example, instead of having 4 wives, it should call 3A wives.

D. J Caruso, the director for this movie definitely not that superstitious or else, why on earth, of all the number, he chose 4? Oh yea, I got the movie screening from Nuffnang AGAIN? I lost count how many movies I watched for the pass few weeks but I am happy max!

No doubt, I usually date my one and only lovely mom for movie screening. She is my blog loyal reader as well! Hehe. What can be more precious than sharing with my mom who are my friends, what I have been doing and keep her occupied rather than lonely at home.

I am not famous in blogshere and finally I know the reason why. My mom steals my limelight! Most bloggers decided to snap picture with my mom than me? So not be slightly kiasu, I snap photos with my mom first. Hoping that will boost up my traffic. lol

Normally, the ticket is distributed 1 hour earlier. So, in kiasu context, I will be the first few to collect nicer seat tickets, couple seats to be exact :P .  Oh, I did not mention this to all yet but my mom is TikkoSS’s blog part time model ..hehe

Before collecting ticket, we normally hang out with other bloggers for dinner. That day we went to POPEYE again. After collecting the ticket we head straight to Lecka Lecka in e-curve.  

Ice cream? It never goes wrong with Lecka Lecka. Aww.. so many choices to choose from but so pricey too :( I like the atmosphere there where we can sit comforbly enjoying every lick of the ice cream.

Normally, I will only hang out at this place when I am not happy, emo, pms.. that is why I “rarely” come this place coz I am happy boy all the time.. lol..but this time is different!  Not because with my mom but it is because of something else.

ICE CREAM! We ordered 2 cups of ice cream and root beer too. Wait a minute, root beer is “halal” right? I am sure there is no alchohol content but can malay drinks root beer? Coz there is a word “beer” there.

What a stress reliever when I take the first scoop of that icecream. Emotionally excited with mixing feeling of happy, happy more and happy most. Lol. I must say those ice cream just made my day!   

Gotcha! Of course the “something else” is not referring to the ice cream, the Blogger friends for sure! You can get delicious icecream anywhere (no doubt Lecka Lecka is nice too) but with all the bloggers friend, it only happens one in a light blue moon. Hehe

Movie time.. Bet the trailer give a good sneak peek about the movie.. I like this type of movie in particular especially when involve super power, science fiction, cool effect and not to mention shockingly amazing stunts.

Noting is perfect and I trust you have figured it out by now. With all those cool stuffs, the story line is just average. Emo slightly in the beginning but the last part is super duper awesome! Okies, enough of history lesson. You should watch youself and I think it is worth spending RM 12.   

Awesome night, dinner + mom + bloggers + icecream + movie = perfect outings!

TikkoSS on February 24th, 2011

How many of you dare to share your nightmare? How many of you have the courage to stand up and start a new life? Many of you heard about Abuse, printed everywhere on the newspaper but WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Recently, I was invited to the 100th International Women’s Day + theatrical play of Life Sdn. Bhd: Abuse. This event is held in conjunction with International Women’s Day on March 8. The whole purpose of this event is to send out a clear message to EVERYONE to stop all form of ABUSE!

To echo the message to all walks of life, many bloggers including well known Redmummy were invited too. Although nice foods were served prior to the real event, all bloggers were too busy mingling around in sorta “ice breaking” atmosphere while waiting for celebrity ambassador to officiate the event.

The event officially started when Kal Joffres, Yuen and Daphne presented their opening speech and signing the MANifesto. WE, the invited guesses were also queuing up to sign Women: 100 MANifesto as an action to support this event and share it via social networking, Facebook.

The team welcomes the audience with approx. 5 min video clips sharing the recent news and pictures of those unfortunate Abuse victims. The room turned into pin drop silence awaiting for all crews to take their position.

Child Abuse? It is not just in the form of Physical Abuse – Stop Child Abuse but it is also includes Sexual Abuse –  Stop Child Abuse and Emotion/Psychological Abuse and Neglect – Stop Child Abuse. Many of the culprits managed to get away simply because all of us being ignorant?

Many of the victims no longer can live a normal life. They live in fear and the series of unfortunate events will be imprinted in their mind forever.   We might say we know and understand their feelings on what they have been through but DO we really know?

I am deeply honored to experience the courage of the survivors who brave enough to stand up in room filled will full audiences and share their dark moments. This is the quality that is not easy to gain unless with the strong determination to stop the cycle of ABUSE.

True and sad stories about rape, abuse, child abuse, animal abuse, sexual discrimination etc  were shared and I am touched and felt sorry about what they have been through. There is nothing much that we can do to change their past but WE can make a difference by stopping all these acts.

Personally, I enjoyed this play very much. It is not dull and gloomy at all. Besides sharing the true stories, the play involves live singing, dancing, acts and performances. Most feedbacks that I received from the audiences were commendably good.  

Many feel connected with the victim and can feel straight from the bottom of their heart on what the victims been through AND determine to STOP ABUSE!

Shortly after the play, everyone is gathered right in front of the Actor Studio Lot 10 for lucky draw and continue signing the MANifesto. Honestly, I can see everyone felt impressed with play and wanting to speak to the crews immediately.

Before the event ends, all of us, bloggers tried to gather around for short photo shoot and of course, not to forget the photo shoot of the mini cupcakes that showing WOMEN 100.  

Last message that I have for all readers: Share this with all your friends, family, colleagues, relatives etc. We might be small but together we can make a difference! Stop ABUSE!

Please visit the official website at MANifesto and share with your friends by sharing Women 100 Facebook or follow their KakiseniTweets.
