1+4+0+8=13

I just finished watching this movie, "1408", a novel-based movie, taken from Stephen King's compilation of short stories. Initially, i wanna watch rat-a-2-e but one of us had watched it, so we have no choice but to watch this movie. Why? Cause, like usual, i love horror movie in expense of me not being able to sleep at the night, hahaha...
"1408", for me, is a 4 star movie. At least for the horror part. Rarely any horror/thriller movie has made me screamed the hell out of me. Until Kevin, who was sitting beside me get shocked to death. He informed me afterwards how embarrassed he was having me screaming so loudly - it was even louder than the movie!!!
oK, i don't want to spoil your pleasure by shouting to the world what this movie is about - me myself detest spoiler deep to the core of my heart. Yet, what makes this movie a 4 star instead of 5 is actually the plot. At the end of it, i did not really fathom what kind of message the movie was trying to convey to the audience. Abrupt Ending the movie has indeed - there is no conclusion, leaving the audience with the thought "So what if he survives?" lingering in their mind after they stepped out from the hall. I even checked the real scripts. However, to my deep disappointment, the ending of the movie seems to be different. So, sigh, nevermind then, at least the "pleasure" of screaming and get shocked was indeed a run for my money.
A few lessons that we can learn from this "1408":
1. Evil Spirit and ghosts does exist. Don't be oblivious about these facts!
2. If the hotel manager secretly bribes you - by upgrading to a pent-house, instead of the standard suit and giving you luxurious,extravagant wine, ACCEPT it! He/she must have a reason bribing you! Unless you wanna experience what Mike Enslin had faced, for heaven's sake, accept it!!!
3. Do not stay alone in an old, creepy hotel.
4. If you sense a superstitious phenomena in your hotel room, check out or ask for changes in the rooming, IMMEDIATELY!

Went out with my fellow Indonesian friends today, went to Plaza Singapura - chatting and chatting and playing arcades, and then went to Starbucks to have a sip of my favourite Caramel Machiatto. Was discussing about places-of-living - where should i stay next year? Currently, this piece of thought has been rolling in my mind repeatedly, but i will just let it flows... I do believe that in this case, God will lead me to the best place to stay:)
Talking about God, was having an interesting conversation about God today with a Korean boy whom i met on the street. He was, initially asking me to do a survey, and thanks to my kaypoh-ness, i did it willingly. He then continued on about the facts in Bible that God is not only the Father, but a Mother as well. Once, Clement has informed me about this, about how God is a Giver of Lives, which indicates His status as a Father, and also God as a recipient, which indicates God is a Mother as well. Honestly, it doesn't really matter for me whether God is a Father or Mother, for i do believe that i only have a single God, the One who has sent my Lord Jesus Christ to the world. Anw, being a mother-complex, i really do not mind having God, the mother, hehehe...
