When we were ready, we had 1 problem: a large majority of the Deaf community have low paying jobs & learning swimming with a trained coach 1 on 1 is a luxury they could not afford!

Swimin12's standard charge for special needs students (1 on 1 Private lessons) is RM150 per hour.
For this campaign, we're subsidizing half of the Fees (RM75). The Public can sponsor RM50 & a Deaf Student will need to pay only RM25 for a highly effective personal 1 to 1 class session.

The majority of the revenue goes to our coach. Swimin12 will take a small percentage of the profits for Administrative & Awareness support.

INVITATION to PREMIER SCREENING : 

LONE SURVIVOR

Again, this I enter the contest to win to view the movie, Lone Survivor at the Paradigm Mall with my blogger and friend, Selina whom try to win too. We brought our another 2 friends to watch movie with us together. 

Selina and I went to the cinema to get our passes, there we took a photo which snapped by the KLIPS.com staff. Grins!

We both at the bottom right!

Based on a true story of herosim, courage and survival. Lone Survivor tells the incredible tale of four Navy SEALs on a covert mission to neutralize a high-level al-Qaeda operative who are ambushed by the enemy in the mountains of Afghanistan. Faced with an impossible moral decision, the small band is isolated from help and surrounded by a much larger force of Taliban ready for war.

The film dramatizes the failed United Satates Navy SEALs mission Operation Red Wings, in which a four men SEAL reconnaissance and surveilance team was tasted to track Taliban leader Ahmad Shah.






Marcus Luttrell, the only member team to survive!

The four men of SEAL team who are alike brothers to each other in no matter how by knowing their own responsibilities on this dangerous mission.  On their first mission, they meet an old man and the children and they all have to decide on which to kill or free them but it will risk them by the Taliban wrath. And the decision they made - a life changing one and forever!

The Taliban wont leave them without mercy and cruel! They started to war non-stop. From the moment on, the 4 men SEAL are going to fight for their lives. They even risk their own lives by jumping down from the mountains where it has the rough rocks and hit on their bodies which hurt so badly. They are injured badly. It leaves them with no choice but they have to do it to finish their mission. The Taliban shoot them completely with ensuring none of the American army is alive but they are wrong! Marcus is still alive, in confusing, exhausting, with no energy and he is saved by the help of an Afghan villager with the other old man and a young boy. Marcus is frighten by the cruel and cold-hearted Taliban but it takes him an another perspective of view where he sees the good side of this Afghan village is so kind, understand, respect and love towards him. The Afghan village takes Marcus to his village and give him a place. He is asked to show where his Operation Red Wings locates at. Then Afghan village commands the old man to help him. 

Within 3 days later, Marcus is targeted by the Taliban. Marcus and the Afghan man, young boy and village people are prepared for the war! The Afghan man has killed Ahmad Shah with no mercy and the young boy helps Marcus to kill the Taliban's follower. Finally, the SEAL helicopters have come to rescue Marcus and bring him home but he stops to say so many thousand thanks to the Afghan and young boy for being so mindful, love and honor for him. They will be remembered by him. 

Marcus is badly injured and hospitalized. Many months by months, he heals much better and he wont never forget how much his life is worth, saved by the Afghan and the young boy. Somehow he visits the Afghan man with unconditional love like brothers where the language is no barrier at all. 

Salute to Marcus for his endure, bravery and courage.


MORAL :  In no matter on how, who and where; it teaches us to appreciate life is so much the worth -
LOVE, HUMANITY, RESPECT, PATIENCE  and HONOR.

"INVITATION"

Once I get used to win the movies from the KLIPS. I want to go to further a mile to explore more and there this makes me to think and wonder. I am a movie lover and I love watching and enjoying movies. Being a Deaf does not stop me to view more on movies and I love hearing the talking, sounding and seeing more graphic visuals.

At blog.klips.my, I get to register and fill in form and submit. Waiting for the invitation result. I finally gave it a try and finds it is interesting to have it in an another way round not only being at KLIPS but yet it is so fun!

While keeping me so busy and when I get home last night, I love beeping in with some messages which left for me. When I read all through and found that I got an INVITATION from KLIPS to view the movie, The Legend of Hercules  @MidValley on this Wednesday night!

I got this mail from KLIPS.

 Yippie, I am so happy! But wait a moment, I have never been to this kind of such event before. Thus, it is giving me a new experience! Yeah!

After my work, my man and I drove to MidValley, KL to watch the movie. I know it is a bit different to redeem the passes. So I tried to ask GSC staffs but none of them know where I can get from. Thus, I kept looking for the counter at the entering cinemas and I found there are few counters from several companies. They are namely a few, FM.my, STAYTREE, ChurpChurp & etc. But I could not find where is KLIPS.com. So I wait and I saw 2 guys talking to each other about KLIPS.com as they got the passes in sign. The deaf guy is not into deaf environment but hearing environment. I get through in the line as I can read people's lips where is KLIPS.com pointing at counter. There this Deaf guy talked to me, we had a nice conversation. He used to ChurpChurp before trying out KLIPS.com. He's the 1st Deaf into social movie media wow! And the crews of KLIPS.com come, I got the cool passes to watch the movie!

The Legend of Hercules is filmed/ directed by Director, Renny Harlin.

I love watching the myths of Greece stories where they worshiped their idols since when I was young. It is interesting to know the story in the part of Europe. 

The trailer starts with an ancient Greece, King Amphitryion (played by Scott Adkins) invades the shores of a neighbouring kingdom. In the battle time, King Amphitryion strikes a bargain with the rival King Galenus. King Amphitryion easily defeats King Galenus and seizes his kingdom. He is visited by his estranged wife, Queen Alcmene (played by Roxanne Mckee). He boasts he won the kingdom for her, she protests he won the kingdom for himself and its gold. Queen Alcmene is disgusted by her husband's greed for power and warmongering. Thus, she prays to Hera for guidance. A woman appears declaring herself to be Hera, wife of Zeus and prophecies that Queen Alcmene will bare the son of Zeus and he will be the savior of her people. 

He will be named of the Hercules. Chiron, (played by Rade Serbedzija) the queen's loyal advisor has witness the wondrous event. 

On that night, King Amphitryion celebrates his victory, Queen Alcmene is visited by Zeus. She is discovered by King Amphitryion who believes the Queen Alcmene has taken a mortal lover. Alcmene soon then gives birth to a healthy baby boy named Alcides. She secretly acknowledges his true name, Hercules.

Twenty years later on, a strong and handsome Alcides (played by Kellan Lutz) rides along the countryside with his woman, Hebes (played by Gaia Weiss) who he loves. Alcides admires Hebes's necklace which was given to her by her mother. She gives it to Alcides. They both are discovered by Alcides's older brother, Iphicles (played by Liam Garrigan). The group has look for Hebes, the princess of Crete. Hebes returns to the palace along with her guard while Alcides and Iphicles follow. Along the way, they are attacked by a lion. Alcides wrestles and crushing the lion . Iphicles takes all the credit and arrives to the royal banquet clutching the lion's pelt showing he has win but he attempts to humiliate Alcides, calling him a coward. Hebes knows the truth. At the banquet, King Amphitryion announces the engagement of Hebes and Iphicles. Hebes are sad , Alcides and Hebes decide to run away together. Hebes is nearly drowns and saved by Alcides. He is taken back to the palace and is sent away by his father to join a war in Egypt.

As Alcides prepares for the journey, Queen Alcmene tells him of his true linegae. Alcides wont believe it easily and departs to vow to return to marry Hebes in 3 moons. Alcides is under the command of Captain Sotiris (played by Liam McIntyre). Sotiris sends to two scouts ahead to scour the desert but they never return. The group is ambushed, leaving Alcides and Sotiris as the last survivors. The leader of the ambush recover's Alcides' helmet and demands to know where the prince is. Sotiris pointing to the body of a slain soldier saying he is Alcides. Alcides refers himself as Hercules to protect his identity.

It is revealed that King Amphitryion planned the ambush in hopes of killing Hercules. They both are sold off as slaves to a viscious promoter (played by Stefan Shetev) who organizes gladiator style fights. Sotiris and Hercules fights to death with other slaves. They convince the promoter to send them to Greece to fight in an arena battle with six undefeated gladiators. If the promoter agree to bet on Hercules and Sotiris, he would have riches beyond his wildest dreams. The promoter agrees. Before that, they have to fight with the other two gladiators first, Half Face and Humbaba. Sotiris is injured. The promoter refuses to take Sotiris since he will be useless in the battle but Hercules convinces him to set Sotiris free and he will fights all six gladiator himself.

Meanwhile, Queen Alcmene and Hebe mourn the death of Hercules. Queen Alcmene seeks an guidance from Hera again. King Amphitryion discovers and confronts her about Hercules' parentage. She reveals it is Zeus as her lover so she would bare the child overthrow him. King Amphitryion in anger stabs Queen Alcmene with her own dagger. Chiron found and King Amphitryion said the Queen Alcmene has committed suicide in her grief. It is not that true.

Hercules arrives in Greece and beats the six gladiators in battle easily. The people celebrate his victory and Amphitryion's army join him and Sotiris. Chiron gladly meet Hercules and brings him the news of his mother who vows to avenge her death. Sotiris and Hercules seek refuge in the home of the human vessel of Hera tells Hercules' destiny. Hercules seems now understand what his mother told him.

Hebes tries to leap off the roof of the palace but is saved by Chiron who brings her to Hercules. The two are reunited. On the way to Hercules's safehouse, Amphitryion's army begins to find a fight with Hercules which lead Hercules and Sotiris to against Amphitryion's campaign of tyrany, angering King Amphitryion who seeks to destory them. Iphicles with the help of mercenaries, murder Sotiris' wife and use his son as a bargaining chip. Sotiris reluctantly leads them to the safehouse. Iphicles is angry why Hercules is none other than his own brother. Later Hercules, Hebes and Chiron are captured. While Hercules is chained and publicly flogged, Sotiris and Chiron are brought before the crowd. Hercules watches on in horror as Iphicles murders Chiron under King Amphitryion's command. Hercules there he acknowledges his father and calls upon him for strength, he breaks free from his chains and crushes Amphitryion's guard. King Amphitryion and Iphicles are escaping off.

Hercules and Sotiris gather the army and enter King Amphitryion's palace . Lastly, Amphitryion's guard join Hercules to fight them. Hercules calls upon his father who infuses his sword with the power of lightning. Hercules is almost defeats King Amphitryion but Iphicles holds Hebes and threatens to kill her if Hercules attempts to kill King Amphitryion. Hercules hesistates. Hebes thrusts the dagger through her shoulder killing Iphicles. Hercules finally avenge his mother, Queen Alcmene's death and kill King Amphitryion with the same blade that killed his mother.

Hercules rushes to Hebes and she uncounsciouness. Nearly a year later on, the cries of a baby are heard whom Hebes gives birth to a beautiful baby boy. They are now a happy family. Hercules watches over his kingdom peacefully.





MORAL : It teaches us how to be strong and convince we have the potential to be the good leader to our own team and country be the independent leadership!

Movie REVIEW

47 RONIN

a real-life group of masterless samurai

I have loved how a samurai warrior as a hero especially samurai is known in Japan. Samurai, referred to in Japanese as bushi, were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan. By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi, and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class.
The samurai followed a set of rules that came to be known as Bushido. While the samurai numbered less than 10% of Japan 's population, their teachings can still be found today; in both everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts.

Somehow, 47 Ronin is a true story inspiration in Japan and all over the world

Checking on which cinemas, my friend and I are gonna to watch
HERE we choose MBO cinema,
Citta Mall @ Ara Damansara.
After we have presented our ticket passes to the counter to redeem the tickets.

The MBO Cinema at Citta Mall is so awesome where we could enter the wonderland and really like the cool creative at the cinema.

There are only 3 room cinemas at the mall.

The chairs are awesome, just two-two!

After entering the room cinema, I have missed out the first show! Oops, too busy looking at the WoW newly MBO cinema.
Luckily my friend has shared tips of the story with me which I am quite not understand - complicate
And I am flowing in with the story went on...





47 RONIN, one of the most celebrated in the history of the samurai. Samurai class is where it is struggling to maintain a sense of itself - warriors with no war, a social class without a function. The tale is to be said  which it has begun with the teaching of Yamaga Soko (1622-1685), an influential theorist who wrote a number of important works on the warrior spirit and what to meant to be samurai.

47 Ronin film was directed by Director, Carl Erik Rinsch

Oishi

Oishi Kuranosuke Yoshio (played by Hiroyuki Sanada), a samurai and retainer of Asano Takumi no kami Naganori, who led a branch of the powerful Asano family.


When the Lord Asano was chosen by the shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to be the one of a number of daimyo tasked with entertaining envoys from the Imperial family. To assist him in this new duty, the Bakufu's highest ranking master of protocol, Kira Kozukenosuke Yoshinaka who was assigned to instruct him
matters of etiquette.

Lord Asano

In feudal Japan, Kai (played by Keanu Reeves) is a half-Japanese
and half-British outcast who lives in the village of Ako. The village is
ruled by the Lord Asano Naganori (played by Min Tanaka), who one
found a  young Kai lost in the woods and accepted him into his
domain.

Kai

Kai saves Yasuno being killed by a monster during a fight in the forest. When Lord Asano and Oishi and their armies arrive, they congrats Yasuno for defeating the monster. Yasuno hates Kai for his race.

Yasuno

Despite of being rejected by the samurai led by Oishi due to his ancestry, Kai becomes a skilled warrior and falls in love with Asano's daughter, Mika (played by Kou Shibasaki)

Mika

The film is so awesome and show how its beauty of artistic, creative and graphical. I was so impressed and influenced by its true Japan culture in the Asia!

Ahead of the arrival of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), Ako is visited by his master of ceremonies, Lord Kira (played by Tadanoba Asano) who becomes attracted to Mika. He arranges a fight between his best soldier, the Lovecraftian Samurai (played by Neil Fingleton) and one of Oishi's men, Yasuno (played by Masayoshi Haneda  who is later found under the spell of Kira's advisor, the witch Mizuki (played by Rinko Kikuchi). Thus, Kai takes his place and fights the Lovecraftian Samurai, but is defeated and humiliated. Kai is trying to tell Oishi that he saw a fox but Oishi does not believe him. Yasuno is angry at Kai for taking his place. 

Mizuki

Later at the night, witch Mizuki spells on the Lord Asano into believing Kira is raping Mika which causes him to attack Kira, an offense punished by death. The Shogun allows Asano to die honorably by committing Seppuku and brands Oishi and his men Ronin. It is too cruel to die in this such a way in Japan. Kira demands to marry Mika but the Shogun grants her one year to mourn the death of her father and forbids the Ronin seeking any revenge. Oishi is regretted for not trusting Kai at the first place but he has failed his duty to protect the Lord Asano from the witch. He has warned the Ronin to standby whatever it will be during the 1 year off. At last, Kira traps Oishi in a well. Oishi later believes Kai because he himself knows the truth.

Kira

A few months later, Oishi is imprisoned and rescued by his son, Chikara (played by Jin Akanishi) and reunited the Ronin, including Kai who had been sold into slavery to revenge for Lord Asano and save Mika. The local blacksmiths deny them to help out of loyalty for Kira. Oishi needs Kai to help out by telling the Ronin. They need a lot of weapons but still not enough. So, Kai leads them to the Tengu, a place he once escaped from as a child. Kai told Oishi not to hurt the Tengu when entering the land. Oishi puts under a test in which he is tempted by illusions, by remembering Kai's word to never draw his sword, earning the respect of the Tengu Master (played by Togo Igawa) who awards the Ronin with swords.

Chikara, the son of Oishi

Tengu Master

On their way back to Ako, the group is ambushed by Kira's army, led by Mizuki and the Lovecraftian Samurai. Several of the Ronin are killed and Mizuki is believing  to have slaughtered them all, steals Kai's sword and returns to the village where she taunts Mika with her death and attempts to manipulate Mika into killing herself. 

However, Kai and Oishi are survived and reunite the remaining 47 Ronin to continue their mission. With the help of a band performers who travelling, Kai and Oishi infliltrate Kira and Mika's wedding, giving Mika an opportunity to flee. They did a good strategy to defeat Kira's land. Yasuno asks Kai for the apology and they befriend. Kai and Mika are escaping together but attacked by Mizuki who changes into a form of a giant serpent and killed by Kai at last. Meanwhile Oishi and Kira fight and Oishi beheads Kira, avenging his friend, Lord Asano.

The 47 ronin are sentenced to death by committing murder and allowed to commit Seppuku to preserve their honor, leaving behind their wives. The Shogun is impressed by their bravery, he allows Chikara to live to preserve Oishi's bloodline. After the death of the Ronin, Mika finds a letter written by Kai in which he promises to find her once she crosses into the 'other-world'.

A love developed between Kai and Mika

 A scroll with the blood of the 47 Ronin is preserved as a symbol of their unwavering honor, strength and dedication to justice.

The Oishi Kuranosuke and his ronin has became the stuff of legend, and continue to spawn books, movies and television shows at a prodigious rate. The Sengakuji is still a popular spot in Tokyo and a place for modern admirers of what many feel were the finest examples of samurai loyalty to emerge from the Edo Period.
