Title : Journey to Happy Land
Medium : Oil Pastel on paper
Size: A2
2009
Current owner : @richard simon

Everyone have their own version of happy land. This thought or emotion happens randomly. It could be because of time, certain situation, surrounding environment or “just because”. So they do a journey to a certain goal that they set.

The green character depicted without arms is a representation of people that feels, think that they are missing something in their life. (It can be anything, nothing in specific). Most of the time they looking for that feeling of joy, happiness, achievement or a sense of fulfillment. During this time is where the doubt, excitement, paranoid kicks in and that's why he’s walk with a slouch with eyes open.

The smiling creatures or monsters on the sides is a representation of people around. Some will give encouragement or support, some will say good things in front and bad things at the back. But most of the time they will just look and thats about it. Your journey is their entertainment.

The road or path is colored in yellow is an adaptation of “the yellow brick road from the wizard of oz” that brings a meaning the road to success or happiness..

The jack in a box “Swindler, cheater” is a representation of the challenges that usually happen along the way, when a person is in search of their happy land.

This whole painting are basically everyone’s journey in life. You can’t see the goal here because (its a personal “something” to everyone, not all of us have the same happyland” but the “journey” that’s the most important part of life.

Bahasa pasar/ sembarang sabah.

Semua orang ada angan-angan/ mimpi/ impian pasal dorang punya tempat/ keadaan hidup yang best. Ni fikiran pandai datang tiba-tiba. Mungkin pasal ada barang yang jadi dalam hidup dorang, mungkin pasal keadaan keliling dorang atau sengaja mau cuba. Jadi mulalah diorang mencari jawapan.

Tu orang hijau tiada tangan macam perumpamaan orang-orang yang rasa, fikir yang dorang ada kekurangan dalam hidup. (Ni boleh jadi apa saja, tiada 1 jenis jawapan). Biasa dia, yang kana cari tu perasaan gembira, semangat, pencapaian atau kepuasan. Ni masa lah datang tu perasaan/ fikiran tidak yakin, telebih semangat, fikir yang bukan-bukan (Ni kali maksud paranoid yang simple). Pasal tu dia jalan bongkok trus mata dia tingu-tingu. (ni yg part paranoid. Takut salah, takut orang cakap bukan-bukan.. macam-macam lah)..

Yang monster senyum-senyum di siring tu umpama orang sekeliling. (yang dekat kah yang jauh kah). Ada yang tolong, support. Ada yang cakap bagus-bagus di depan tapi kasi buruk-buruk di belakang. Biasa dia ada saja yang tingu tu biarpun ko tidak tau (macam drama tv).

Tu jalan warna kuning kana guna reference “the yellow brick road “jalan batu warna kuning” dalam wayang wizzard of oz). Maksud ni ayat jalan kejayaan atau kegembiraan.

Di depan tu jalan ada clown dalam kotak “Jack in a box”. Maksud jack in a box ni orang yang menipu. Dia jual kotak kosong sama orang yang beli barang. Jadi dalam ni perjalanan mau sampai tu “happy land” ada saja cabaran.

Jadi ni lukisan cerita dia pasal semua orang punya perjalanan hidup dalam mencari erti. Dia punya hujung tiada dalam ni lukisan sebab lain orang lain yand dia cari. Tapi perjalanan, pengalaman mo kasi sampai, itu yang paling mahal.

Avatar reclaims title as highest-grossing film

Blockbuster ( ) movie Avatar has retaken the highest-grossing ( ) film of all time ( ) spot thanks to its re-release in China.

The sci-fi epic ( ) debuted ( ) in 2009 and held the global box office title ( ) for a decade until it was overtaken ( ) by Marvel's Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Following its re-release in the world's biggest movie-watching market of China, worldwide total sales pushed it above the $2.8 billion mark ( ) on the weekend.

China has been the top-performing ( ) film market since pandemic lockdowns.

Director James Cameron's Avatar took in around $4 million on Friday alone which pushed it ahead of Endgame, according to distributor ( ) Walt Disney.

Disney owns both films after the company bought entertainment assets ( ) from Fox in 2019. It also owns the Titanic movie, which is third on the list of highest-grossing movies.

When Endgame passed Avatar in 2019, Mr. Cameron tweeted a picture of Avenger's Iron Man on the fictional ( ) Avatar universe of Pandora along with a congratulatory ( ) note.

He is currently working on four sequels ( ) to Avatar. The next film, which has been delayed several times, is currently scheduled for release in December 2022.

"We are proud to reach this great milestone ( ), but Jim (James Cameron) and I are most thrilled ( ) that the film is back in theatres during these unprecedented times, and we want to thank our Chinese fans for their support," said Avatar producer Jon Landau.

Chinese movie theatres have been open for several months now since pandemic-led shutdowns ( ), and local movies have also been enjoying some of their strongest box-office sales ever.

Ahead of ( ) its re-release in China, Avatar grossed around $760 million in the US and just over $2 billion internationally.

《阿凡達》重奪影史最暢銷寶座

賣座大片《阿凡達》在中國重新上映後，近日又重奪全球票房冠軍寶座。

這部科幻史詩大片於2009年首映，佔據全球票房冠軍寶座長達十年，直到2019年被漫威的《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》超車。

《阿凡達》在中國這個全球最大的電影市場重新上映後，上週末該片的全球票房突破了28億美元。

自從全世界都實施疫情封鎖之後，中國電影市場的表現一直是全球最佳。

發行方迪士尼公司稱，James Cameron導演的《阿凡達》光是上週五（3月12日）一天就創下400萬美元票房，超越了《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》。

2019年迪士尼從福斯收購娛樂資產後，這兩部電影就歸迪士尼所有了。在賣座電影排行榜上排名第三的《鐵達尼號》如今也屬於迪士尼公司。

2019年《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》票房超過《阿凡達》後，Cameron在推特上發了一張復仇者聯盟中鋼鐵人站在《阿凡達》裡虛構的潘朵拉星球上的圖片，並附上了賀詞。

眼下Cameron正在製作《阿凡達》的四部續集。下一部《阿凡達》電影目前計畫在2022年12月上映，此前已被推遲多次。

《阿凡達》製作人Jon Landau稱：「這個里程碑式的成就讓我們感到很驕傲，不過，吉姆（詹姆斯•柯麥隆）和我最興奮的是，在這一史無前例的時刻，這部電影又重新在影院上映。我們想感謝中國粉絲對《阿凡達》的支持。」

自從疫情迫使影院關閉後，中國電影院如今已經開放了數個月，該國本土電影甚至迎來了有史以來最火爆的票房。在中國重映前，《阿凡達》在美國收穫了約7.6億美元票房，全球票房也勉強超過20億美元。

P.6 Been living in Causeway Bay for a year time, the landlord asked to raise the rent. So we moved again, to Sheung Wan this time, bigger flat and cheaper rent. That was the first time 🐷🐷 had their own room for living!
.
My Ex always hoped Yobi could give birth of puppies, she just thought what if when we’re home and we open the door, there’ll be a pack welcoming us, that would be definitely amazing. So we planned that seriously, and finally Yobi made it the year end of 2009. I calculated and estimated 30th of Jan 2010 would be the production day, so I requested day off for preparation and planned to assist alike cutting the umbilical cord for the puppies.
.
We didn’t consult the vet previously and therefore we ain’t know how many puppies inside indeed. We been waiting the whole day, until the late evening, the 1st one. The midnight, the 2nd one. The early morning, the 3rd one. 5am something in the morning, the 4th one, the last one we guessed. Yes, total 4🐷! Miso the sister, Mochi the younger sister, Toro the younger brother, and Momo(black) the youngest sister 🐷🐷🐷🐷
.
P.6 在銅鑼灣住了一年之後，業主又要加租了，唯有又搬到上環去，地方更大、更便宜，而且🐷🐷可以有自己的房間了！
.
前度以前都一直在說希望🐷🐷生小🐷s，當我們回家打開門的時候，就會有很多🐷🐷過來歡迎我們，於是便讓Yakult同Yobi意思意思，終於在2009年尾成功了！我計算過日子，應該是30th Jan 2010，在Yobi生小🐷的日子請了假，準備幫小小🐷剪臍帶和清潔，但是等到凌晨、午夜、清晨，肥媽才完成所有小🐷生產！Miso🐷大家姐、Mochi🐷妹妹、Toro🐷細佬、Momo🐷妹妹！

The first time I fell in love with Boracay Island, Philippines was in 2009. I was with bunch of great people and that made it special. I was younger back then and my perspective was different.

Now I am 33, soon to be 34, for all those times I have visited this beautiful Island, and how it made me feel human again every time I visit, I just wanted to give back.

On my own little ways, I reached to a few locals and shared what I could. It’s not much. I wish I could do more. I lost my job at Apple Singapore, It’s been two weeks since I am here, but I wish I could do more.

But this post is not about doing less or more. It’s about doing what we can to help and share whatever smallest ways we can.

This post is not about showing how poor Boracay is now, because that’s far from the truth. We have the natural resources that for some people can use to get by. But there are a lot who could not.

This post about reaching out to UFC GYM Singapore who asked me evidence and documents from my doctor showing that depression would not allow me to go to gym. This post is about encouraging UFC GYM Singapore to return the money I spent for membership for the gym I never used. This is about asking UFC GYM Singapore to do the right thing and be the better person.

This is about asking my landlord Thai Kum Foon of Kuok Singapore and my property agent Michael Lim of Orangetee & Tie to return my security deposit. To reconsider things as greediness can cause us more. I believe.

I am asking the people involved to think it over. Because the truth of the matter is, doing the right thing is not easy, but this time, you are not doing it for me, but for the people you can help with. Because the truth is, the amount I am asking you to return is just little to what you already have. I am asking you to do one thing in your life, that one day, your kids and their kids, can be proud of.

You may not listen to this, but asking for the last time, is worth the try, for these people.

Kyrie Irving set an NBA season high and a career high by scoring 57 points in the Cavaliers' 128-125 overtime victory over the Spurs in San Antonio on Thursday.

This was a case of Cleveland's three-time All-Star saving his best for last. Irving scored nine points in the final minute of regulation, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to force overtime, and added 11 more in the extra period.

All told, he scored 15 consecutive points as the Cavaliers erased a 108-101 deficit in the final minute of the fourth quarter. The shocking rally was aided by two missed free throws by Kawhi Leonard with just seconds to go in regulation.

"I just couldn't have done it without my teammates," Irving told reporters. "Shots were going in. I was getting open, and during the end of the game we never gave up. ... A few of those shots, I just threw them up at the rim, and I was lucky enough and blessed enough that they went in."

Here are a few notes about Irving's record-setting night.

Irving's 57 points surpassed his previous career high of 55 points, set in a Jan. 28 victory over the Blazers, which stood as the NBA's previous highest-scoring output during the 2014-15 season.
Irving's 57 points set a Cavaliers franchise record, surpassing LeBron James, who scored 56 points against the Raptors on March 20, 2005.
Irving becomes the first player this season to score 50+ points on multiple occasions. Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and Timberwolves guard Mo Williams are the only other players to top 50 points in a game this season.
Irving becomes the first player since Lakers guard Kobe Bryant to score 55+ points multiple times in the same season. Bryant accomplished the feat three times during the 2006-07 season.
Irving joins Bryant (2005-06 and 2006-07) and Michael Jordan (1992-93) as the only players to score 55+ points multiple times in the same season since the 1990-91 season.
Irving joins Thunder forward Kevin Durant as the only players to score 50+ points multiple times in the same season since 2009-10. Durant accomplished the feat twice last year.
"I thought he was pretty decent," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Kyrie Irving was unstoppable. I don’t know how to guard that. He did a hell of a job. We all know how talented he is, but he really went to a new level tonight. He had a hell of a night and that talent just got us."

James added 31 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 31 points, six assists and five rebounds. Danny Green and Leonard each added 24 points.

Cleveland improved to 42-25. San Antonio dropped to 40-24.

With National Adoption Month in the US coming up in November, and the recent drama involving the most high profile entry on this list, it seems an appropriate time to make this video.

1. Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is who everyone thinks of when it comes to a Hollywood celebrity with an adopted Asian child. Actually she has two, Maddox from Cambodia and Pax from Vietnam.

In 2001, Jolie applied to adopt 7 month old, Rath Vibol from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia. Unfortunately, this didn’t seem to go well. The adoption process was halted soon after when the US government banned adoptions from Cambodia amid allegations of child trafficking.

When it was all said and done, when the investigation was over, fortunately for Jolie, the adoption of Rath Vibol was deemed lawful. Jolie brought him back to the States and renamed him Maddox. 5 years later, Maddox became older brother to Pax, who Jolie adopted from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Today, Maddox is a regular 15 year old kid, who can sometimes be seen with a shaggy bleached blonde mohawk, and who has a long distance girlfriend who lives in England.

Unfortunately, 2016 marked the end of Brangelina, as Angelina Jolie & husband Brad Pitt are now going through a Hollywood divorce involving 6 kids.

2. Katherine Heigl

Heigl actually grew up with an older sister, Meg, who was adopted from South Korea.

Heigl says: “I wanted my own family to resemble the one I came from, so I always knew I wanted to adopt from Korea.”

Her husband singer/songwriter, Josh Kelley initially questioned whether Heigl’s vision for their family was indeed right for him.

In 2009, she got the call from the Korean adoption agency that there was a baby girl for her to adopt named Mi-Eun. There was one issue though, she had a congenital heart defect and had recently undergone open heart surgery.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding her well-being, her future health, Heigl opted to adopt Mi-Eun, naming her Naleigh.

3. Ewan McGregor

McGregor has been in many documentaries including one called Long Way Round where he goes on a 19000 mile journey from London To New York City on a motorcycle, traveling through Europe and Asia, visiting several UNICEF programs along the way.

It was on this trip in 2004, passing through Mongolia, where he met 2 year old Jamyan, an abandoned orphan. Soon afterwards, he adopted her.

4. Meg Ryan

The star of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle & You’ve Got Mail, was elated, when, in 2006, she was notified by the Chinese adoption agency that they had assigned her a 14 month old baby girl. I say assigned because the adoption process in China is like a lottery system, and Ryan had no say in the selection process of her child, who she later named Daisy True

Despite Daisy being randomly assigned to her, Ryan has stated “I am convinced, completely that there was nothing random about it. She is the daughter I should have.”

5. John McCain

Right now the world is watching Hillary & Trump tear each other to bits. 8 years ago it was Obama & McCain going at it for the presidency.

While McCain, was able to become the republican presidential nominee in 2008, his previous attempt in 2000 failed. He had lost to George W. Bush in large part due to an underground smear campaign that falsely claimed McCain had fathered a black child.

In actuality, that ‘black child’ was Bridget, his daughter that he adopted from Bangladesh. Bridget was Bengali, and Bengali people are darker skinned.

Many people said the McCains should be ashamed of her color. The vile campaign had voters being called up by the thousands, being informed that McCain had a black baby and that was reason enough to not vote for him.

Funnily enough, John McCain did not know of his wife’s decision before hand and when he arrived at the Arizona airport to pick her up from her trip from Bangladesh, he was confused as to why his wife was holding a dark Asian baby.

He asked ‘who is she?’ and ‘where is she going?’

Cindy replied ‘To our house’

Despite the initial shock, he has said that Bridget has since enriched their lives.
