A Perks Of Being A [Wallpaper]

Hi guys friends,

   Well, lots of things happen this couple of weeks. Some are sad memories, and some are not-so-sad memories but I'm grateful for each day as I hope it will get me stronger and toughen me up more and more. I'm still trying to find a place for me to stand in this world though. Sometimes I feel like I'm a misfit toy in this land of wonder. Swinging left and right, up and down ~ flown through the air - like a speck of dust.

   You know that sometime we might encounter strange moment where we feel like this is where we belong and in a matter of seconds BAMM! you are not. I'm getting all emotional and teary on this post and I just can't helped it. We, human, wants something but most of the time we can't even tell what it is. Its hard to explain. Its really hard and it hurts too. All the pain swelling inside, all the angers, tears, happiness, and sadness and this emotion just keep on flowing and flowing non-stop. SHIT!

   Most of the times when something like these happens, I usually try to blame it on something or someone. Well as for this severe case I think I should blame it on one movie - The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. You guys got to watch this film. Its somehow feels so close to me but none of my friends kill themselves nor any of my Aunt try to rape me but I do get the 'seeing something' part. Visions in form of pictures and flashes happening to me. I don't have any blacked-out moment either but still whatever is happening is not cool.

   Most of the time I do feel like I'm being a wallpaper whenever I'm in a group of friends. I don't really talk much to people whom I just met. I mostly like to observe human's behaviors. It amuse me all the times. I know that my own behavior that cause me this shit but I'm lucky I guess to have a few friends who always notice me and try to drag my butt out from my own imagination-unreal world back to reality.

   As much as I was jealous by other people around me, I really am happy for them. I always put the lives of others in front of me. I get and feel happy whenever they are happy. I put on my fake smile and congratulate them. My happiness for them was sincere okay! Just that behind all that happiness I feel so sad. I have to say I was so shocked by the movie I mentioned above because it was really me and again except for that really painful moments but hey, I have my own share of painful and hurtful moments too. I like the ending. I want that in my life. To be able to feel the freedom.

   Damn I just realize that FREEDOM might be the cause of this thing? Freedom, freedom, freedom... this words has been bugging me ever since. What is freedom actually? Does it really matters to me? In a movies, whenever the word 'freedom' is being use, usually it end up with one character asking the other(s) "Will you willing to pay the price of freedom?" I mean like c'mon.... that line is so cliche...

   What exactly the price I have to pay for my freedom? Living on my own so the price would be all the bills on the counter? All the foods that I have to buy? - all that? This is where money issue comes in. The root of all evil in this pathetic world. For money people fight with each other! For money they kill each other! For money they start a war with each other! War generates money for certain countries and I'm not gonna talk about that so you guys figure it out - the truth is out there as long as you open your eyes and try to analyze it.

   I want my friends, good friends. Like Charlie had. Like Patrick and Sam. Will it ever happens to me? I guess I need to change myself first. Try socialize a bit. I did tried it before though... Doesn't end up so well. Got pretty scared if you ask me. If I fail once doesn't mean I have to stop right?

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is a little-death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Frank Herbert's Dune Series

Hi readers,

So any of you guys here is a bookworm? I wouldn't consider myself one but I do really enjoy reading much. I love novels - a LOT! But even so, I don't really have a lot of novels in my possession. The genre that mostly appeal to me are Adventure, Fantasy, and Science Fiction. 

Sadly I only have a handful of novels with me right now. A few from Harry Potter's series, one from The Golden Compass, only 3 out of 4 from The Inheritance series "Eragon" and only the first 2 books from Frank Herbert's Dune series, namely 'Dune' and 'Dune Messiah'. See?? Even though I am a fan of Fantasy genre but I don't have anything from The Lord of the Rings =_="...  Sad isn't it...and still I dare to say "I love novels - a LOT!"

So on this post, I want to talk about Frank Herbert's Dune!!! Well I'm not really a big fan of Sci-fi actually if you look on my collections - lol. But Dune is for me the best novel I have ever read. The content and context of it simple amazing and just magnificent! Its an amazing work considering it was publish on 1965! I am not a very good writer to write a review about how great DUNE is compare to others but I will just rant about how awesome it is here so please don't try to judge me okay. If you guys wants more detail about a review or something please click here

Dune is not like any other Sci-fi novels - even though I own none other than Dune but I still read other sci-fi novels at MPH mostly...for free :] Where can you get a novel so details in explaining its contents? From the environments, geological aspects, flora and fauna, human interaction, quotes, religions and even languages - not to mention space travel and universe which is common in sci-fi right? To think that even George Lucas' Star Wars borrow inspiration from Dune to create Tatooine - its just happens to be one of the greatest novel ever written.

The first chapter - DUNE - is a winner of 1966 Hugo and also took home the first Nebula Awards. 

Alec Newman as Paul Atreides
in 2000 and 2003 miniseries
The story basically revolves around a young man, and not just an ordinary man, Paul Atreides is a heir for House of Atreides in Caladan. Well the Duke Leto Atreides is his father and Lady Jessica is her mother and they are moving from Caladan to Arrakis or aka Dune to establish an establishment there to control the Melange - the spice. In their time, Melange is consider to be the most sought after thing in the whole universe and i the whole universe, Melange only exist on Arrakis - a desert planet.

What they didn't know is that the Empire and House of Harkonnen is planning a plot against Atreides because Duke Leto is popular among the royal houses. So the Emperor sent House of Atreides to Arrakis simply to assassinate the whole bloodline. So the story continues...


Well, DUNE has been made into a movie, miniseries as well as games. In 1984, director David Lynch made DUNE into a movie however it got many negatives critics and trust me that if you like DUNE, you have to at least watch this movie one time. I recommend just download and then watch it then quickly delete it! But rejoice for in 2000, John Harrison produced and directed a miniseries for tv using the name 'Frank Herbert's Dune'. Its a long miniseries about 5 hours but I have to its really worth it And in 2003 they made a sequel called 'Frank Herbert's Children Of Dune' and this sequel although it use the name from the 3rd book, its actually a combination from the 2nd and the 3rd book, namely "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune".









James McAvoy as Leto Atreides II
In the miniseries, which in 2004 were two of the three highest-rated programs to be ever broadcast on Syfy channel, Alex Newman plays the part as Paul Atreides or later known as Paul-Muad'Dib. Young James McAvoy as Leto Atreides II - yes, he is the same guy on Wanted with the ever so sexy Angelina Jolie and he is from Scotland! That's explain the thick accent. The miniseries is a success and the first part even won some awards!

You can click here for the Frank Herbert's Dune and click here for Frank Herbert's Children Of Dune.

The music is composed by Brian Tyler for the miniseries and I have to say the whole soundtrack sounds so awesome! If you kind of like a desert song or middle-east influence music you should get the soundtrack. There is one song that really captivate me - Inama Nushif - I keep on listening to it till this very moment that I wrote this post. Below is the montage of from Children of Dune in which the song is first introduced in the miniseries. Its really a haunting song and it really makes me got goosebumps! The song is sung entirely in Fremen languange by an Iranian singer Azam Ali - a language created by Frank Herbert for the Fremen tribe on Arrakis although Brian Tyler admits he did change it just to make it more musical. Enjoy!



Little Lies - Dune really changes my perspective of ones life and how we see things. From a Boy to Duke to an Emperor to a God-like King and ends in tregedy...

[ETC] Moving To A New Place!

So now I'm officially moved to Kepong! No longer a KJ-ians...

New home, new environment, new people, and soon new work..

How should I do this? Something I haven't done in many years.... Honestly some people told me just now that I'm really friendly and I was like WTH... Course if you seen my face and I didn't know you >even to people I do know actually< my face looks so snobbish! Sombong!

Well as a matter of fact I'm just to shy...But once I get comfortable with someone I am really am a very talkative person. Especially in our conversation involve things about Musics or Animals! I literally can't stop talking.

Actually tonight I wanted to post about music as well but then again I refrain myself from doing so. Then the emo idea came along and again I try my best not to post something sad or frustrating here.

Like, c'mon Little Lies,  please for once in your life >when you want to post a new blog< please please please be happy! But really I'm only really happy when my post involve musics or animals...lol

Come to think off it, I never post any animals-related thing here on Little Lies.... On my last blog I did posted a few... Like how I am part of Nat Geo "I Am The Ocean" campaign. That was really good.

I'm an animal lover, I mean like all sorts of animals except maybe certain insects or arachnids... scary... 

Okay gonna save the animals story on later post! Since I'm currently unemployed, I got lots of time to write new post! I guess....

Damn have to try to find new work asap... If any of you guys here knows any vacancy, please feel free to drop a comment below!

Have a nice day/night/afternoon/evening guys!

~Little Lies is planning to go to ZOO before he can write a post about animals - needs to get the motivation!~
