Its been a blast!

Posted by Hello


Today ….

Well where do I start, shall I say today is quite significant to my family and I especially my Dad in particular. Huurrmm just to let you guys know before hand that this posting is a bit sentimental and a tad sombre. Today is actually the last day on the job for my Dad. Yup he’s going to retire today. He’s 57. Ok some of you may say it’s not a big deal as it happens to all of us. You see it’s a bit different in our case. For me personally there’s this feeling of responsibility to shoulder. How I wished I was into my 4th or 5th year of working. I guess if I was at that level I d be more secure and more financially sound, then I am sure my parents would be more comfortable with the retirement. The truth is at the moment there’s still stuff that I rely on them. Unfortunately. Its different for us Malay’s especially, in my instance my parents are not trying to shoulder me with the responsibility. But as a son you’d always feel indebt to them. I just hope one day ill get to repay them for all the things they’ve done for me. Things that I don’t think I can even quantify.

The poignant thing about this retirement is the shift in lifestyle for my parents and us. Apart from the army my Dad has been a planter ever since. Life in the plantations is different. I think we are or my parents are among those blessed enough to experience it. Not many of us nowadays can experience the unique atmosphere of living in a Rubber or an Oil Palm estate. Having oil palm trees as neighbors has its perks. Ultimately you have the nature and privacy to your own. Unlike us urbanites, where the hustle and bustle are a blended together with all the pollution thus giving it an intoxicating mix. The comfort and simplicity of the estate somehow made it a pleasant experience. Among the 3 of us the most experienced in estate life would be my younger brother. My sister and I both moved to the city once school was required, in fact my sister went to live with Bah and Auntie Tin as early as pre-school. It was a unique way of growing up. Every school holiday we’d be looking forward to the estate. Ironically going back home was our holiday trip.

Each time my Dad had to move we would be excited, for all the years and numerous places we’ve been to not one place was bad. Each place was inimitable and had its own appealing distinctiveness. Places like Padang Serai, Sungai Senarut were among the best place. For every place that we’ve been to the people, the food, the town and the house itself would be the focal point. You’d be surprised at the number good of food places we’ve been to. Heck there’s this Kopitiam in Segamat that serves wicked kopi and roti kahwin that would have kicked Starbucks nuts back to the sky. See how fortunate we were. But of all the places we’ve been to Carey Island has to be the best of the lot. The people, the food and especially the house were something only the lucky few will get to experience. Those who have been to Carey Island would definitely agree. That’s Me and my Mum at the Carey Island house. Spanking huh? Where else can you get a place where there’s a club house with golf course and a jetty for fishing all within a stone throw away from the awesome house? And it’s not that far away from Kl. Hahah I know that’s a bit oxymoronic, wanting the estate life but still want the city to be near. Hahah.

Surprisingly the benefits of my Dad’s company are a lot. Well I guess you’d have to since not all of us would work at the estate. I know I can’t haha. They provide you with a house inclusive of the electrical and water bills and if you’re a manager you’ll get a maid and a driver plus a Range Rover. Impressive huh? The hard thing now is that all those things won’t be around anymore. I hope everyone including me can learn to accept that. I can imagine how hard it is for someone to retire. You ll get emotional, for my Dad in particular as he was hoping to get an extension. Obviously it didn’t happen. I really feel for him because my Dad enjoyed his job. He was enjoying it and is not as if he was looking forward to this retirement. Gosh I wish I knew what to say and what to do. Clearly I am not in the position to do so, its kinda like a staff telling his manager what to do. I just hope all of us can get his spirit up. Hopefully he ll get a job soon. Funny when he asked me for a copy of my cover letter. Let’s hope my lucky cover letter can do the trick. It helped me get a kick ass job I just hope my Dad is as fortunate.

Football Crazy Sucks!



Huuuaaarrgghhh ….

Damn it, I was down with German Measles during the weekend. For those of you who are more Medic-Savvy that’s Rubella. Yup fork it! apparently the stuff does not just effect girls but guys can get it too. So my face and body were covered with rashes and I had headaches. But after medication everything turned out all right. Haarrrgghhh so for the whole weekend I had to stay home at the apartment. Was nt that bad after all, got to see SpyGames and EuroTrip dvd but I missed my nephew’s birthday. Sorry kiddo maybe next year you uncle fantastic will be there yaa.

So I get to leave office early on Friday but I didn’t go out cause I didn’t want to be at fault for other people getting infected. So there I was at peace with my PS2, thank you my beloved black box. Played winning eleven and ….winning eleven. Hahahah what else? No other game is worth playing man. I also got to watch this program at ESPN Starsports called Football Crazy. One word to describe it “excruciating”, seriously. Ok why the show sucks is simple. First and foremost the hosts! Ok the host Andy and Colette are an obvious mismatch! The key to a successful show is the host. So if the show has 2 host first and foremost they’ve gotta have chemistry. Never underestimate the compatibility of the guys hosting your show. It’s the same thing that happened to the Hitz FM’s morning show. Hitz FM’s morning show was really good because both Fly Guy and Lil Kev had a natural chemistry that really made the show fun to hear. Just look at all the Late night shows, be it Leno or Letterman they all had sidekicks who could blend well with the show. The problem with the show is both Colette and Andy have no such chemistry at all. Zero, nil, kosong! They are so affected that it’s unbearable to watch. Colette especially is trying to hard to be funny. I ve got nothing against her being on that show; I don’t mind the opposite sex being there cause football is after all everybody’s sport. But she s not your fun, carefree type of gal for that sort of show. She’s not crazy enough for football crazy. Honestly, I think its not her. Her personality doesn’t fit the show. I just can’t name any female personality for that show but I do think Sheikh Heikel who is the guest on the show should have been the better option. He and maybeee Andy might work well together. I like the guy I can still remember him during his Construction Site days, they were cool. And for those of you who didn’t know Sheikh is the Singaporean dj who got kicked by his radio station for being too “brave” on the air waves. To be fair to this Colette Andy didn’t fair to well either. Just because he’s some Southampton gwailo doesn’t mean he’s up for the part.

Another thing, they had this Tampanese Rovers on the show. What the frigging hell for! Had the show been called Football Crazy Singapore then its ok. But for people like us what the fork do we care about them. At least a person who is quite conversant as I am ehem ehem know who these Tampanese Rovers guy are. Some played in the Malaysia Cup in the Singapore team that’s how I know laa, not that I care. Anyway with those guy being on the show it somehow derailed the focus of the show. The guys weren’t funny weren’t crazy similar to PJ. I thought the show is Football Crazy not Football Sleepy. At least do something like calling these hardcore Kops or Devils supporter and let them have a go at each other. Or maybe tape them doing commentary on a match (something they do in the UK). Aaarrgghhh just do something fun and crazy la.

Crazy; understand the word and watch the program then you ll know why I am stomping at it. To fix it get a Crazy host first, if you need to pair them up then make sure they have chemistry. Crazy host? Ok Grub Smith of Travel Sick is crazy, Ian Wright is crazy. Now get the picture? Until then I am not wasting my precious TV time with Football Crazy.

Rain Rain Go Away
Posted by Hello


Monday oh my Monday. Just got back from a presentation in Seremban, yup quite far huh? Almost met with Ita my old café friend from college. Got some confusion there or else it would have been nice to meet her after quite sometime. The thing is her office is apparently on the same floor of the presentation room. Well hopefully I ll get to meet her again, if I am fortunate enough then today would have been a success. But my boss said I kept repeating the words “all right” aisey have to improve on that next time. Well hope springs eternal. Heheh…

Ok last time around I mentioned about my cikenet niece’s birthday. Unless you re not in Kl, you would have noticed the rain. Unfortunately for my sis the black clouds also came to visit her daughter’s birthday. For all her detail and elaborate planning theres nothing all of us could do about the weather. Hence why you see beside the cars being parked outside, umbrellas also required parking space. In spite of that the turn out was surprisingly good. The tents were packed and there weren’t many leftovers. Among the best food that day had to be the chocolate dipped strawberry and the birthday cake itself. Usually cakes are just good on the eyes but don’t taste too good. All I am saying is some of my gym effort had gone to waste because of it. That’s how good it was. If the weather wasn’t bad enough my sister went down because of food poisoning! Sigh I really pity her for all the effort she had put into (mind you she even took leave for two days to prepare for it) she didn’t manage to experience it. So the next time you plan for something make sure first and foremost, take care good of yourself.

And to put icing on the cake for my sister someone actually brought back a gift in a shape of a balloon home from the party. Alaaa the nice balloons with the cartoons on it. This one was a strawberry shortcake balloon which is extremely rare over here. In fact it was from the states. I was the one who saw this person bringing it back. Hahah I am not mentioning any names haaaahahaa. Well let’s give the benefit of the doubt to this person la ok? Maybe she thought it was part of the party pack. Hahah…. Sorry la Kak Long (luckily my niece is to innocent to mind ).

On a less sunny side of the weekend I just got to know that friend of mine failed in a relationship. Huurrmmm what to say. It was a pity if I might say so. I really like watching this couple together because the reason the girl was attracted to my friend was because he was smart. Smart he definitely is. Which is to me a rarity nowadays, a friend of mine even said some relationship can only work if they are compatible physically. Can you believe that? That’s a bunch of bullshit really. Well at least I am extremely fortunate to have someone who sees me beyond that. Thank you …

Strawberry Shortcake! Posted by Hello


Ok for some of you who don’t know how a Strawberry Shortcake looks like? Here it is (I can’t believe I am posting this picture anyway ….). Now you know what a how a strawberry shortcake looks like, now you can be called a faggot Hahahah

Weekends!

Aaaahhhh …

After ranting and stomping in my last posting I guess I m gonna take it easy this time around. Weekends on the way so hopefully it ll be a good one. One reason is because my cikenet niece is having her very first birthday. It is her first ever birthday but from the looks of it the mom is more anxious and excited about it.

The theme for her birthday is Strawberry Shortcake. Have any of you guys heard of it? If you have chances are you re a faggot. Hahah no la if that’s the case then I am one too Hah! Screw you. No offence to all the faggots. Its just a joke okeeeyy… Well strawberry shortcake used to be a very popular toy for girls during the 80’s. Its actually these figures that smells like strawberry laa what else. All tough cake is part of the name unfortunately you can not eat it. Back then beside Barbies they have this figures, fork it why am I talking about girly stuff here.

By the way so since the theme is such everyone has to come looking like a strawberry. Hahahah no la but we ll have to wear something in red. I just hope the weather turns out good. Its been raining these past few days. It ll be quite sad for my sis if it rains. She has been going all out for this. Well it is her daughter’s first so I just hope my cikenet niece has a good time. I did get her a present of course, as tight as I am for her ill eat instant noodle/pasta/soup/etc..Aahh just jesting its not that bad. The gift is oklaaa but not something grand laaa…

Besides that there is this property fair that is on this weekend. We want to go but I am not sure we can. My fiancée and I are looking around for a place cause we think rather then pay for rent why not pay for something of our own. Having said that I just hope we can find one that has a good location and of course something we can afford. Got an eye for this condo in ……Hah I am not gonna tell you gosh I sound like a Singaporean kiasu! fork it but …I just cant tell you…Maybe one day I will…

Fuck my computer speaker is really pissing me of! The cables are messed up so I keep losing sound on one of my speaker. Every time it happens I have to nudge the bloody sub to get the sound back.

Anyway other then that we ll try to catch a movie this Sunday. I am not sure of the 2 stuff we wanna do but I am guessing we may not be able too. I m guessing this weekend will be more of a family thingy. But I hope I get to squeeze a night of clubbing at Passion. Heard they re gonna have r’n’b for the first time. Huuuurrmmm sounds interesting yeah. A man does need an occasional dose of eye candy you see. I got a sweet eye man haha…

Lastly about Malaysian Idol, aiseyman how laaa that fruitcake Saiful and himbo Andrew are still there? Aren’t Malaysians aware that the idol will later represent the country in World Idol. It’s bad enough that we have no sports to be proud of anymore, for that matter almost nothing to be proud of I guess. Don’t even try to mention about our world conquering feat those are all a bit perplexing to me. Now we are willing let others see how pathetic our musical taste and inability to appreciate talent. I really hope Jack wins as she is really decent. More then decent in fact. If those 2 so called singer win I don’t know what to say. If they do win then my prediction of a girl never winning such competitions (Akedemi Fantasia and Malaysian Idol etc) is true. I hate to be right but somehow it looks possible. If my able intuition capabilities are indeed accurate then Malaysian is not a place for such competitions. All they care of is the physical aspects but foresee the most significant trait of all which is talent. If those 2 win I hope they get slaughtered by the world idol judges.

Kah Kah Kiok…

FUCK THE DOMESTIC TRADE AND “CON”SUMER AFFAIR OF MALAYSIA!

What the frigging hell is happening to the Malaysian Government??? Has everyone read yesterday’s article in InTech??? If you have not go to this link:
Are my colleague and I the only ones who think this is utter bull shit! Fuck this Othman Ahmad and the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry Of Selangor, does he fucking know what he is talking about? Open Source applications can actually be pirated! Fuck You ass hole do you even know the nature of Open Source to begin with. We will be the laughing stock of everyone cause we actually have PIRATED OPEN SOURCE APPLICATIONS! He is saying that the “Malaysian” public can only download OS apps and use it for their personal use. Excuse me personal use? Then what? In simple terms the whole idea of open source is to make it available to all so that EVERYONE can contribute by improving it thus USE and of course fucking REDISTRIBUTE it. Don’t tell me this wanker think that open source is Red Hat alone. Hello Ass wipe wake up! You re just a frigging sell out. This is a huge set back to Malaysia in its so called effort to promote open source. Promote OSS my ass! Then what is the Malaysian Open source community is to do? “Personally” develop open source apps and be happy. Reality check here damn it! OSS people have lives ok in no mother fucking way that each and every one of the open source company utilizes Open Source purely for R&D purposes. No bloody way! Open source community have been credited in making software more available to all, not just available but in a more improved version each day. All this is credited to a concerted effort of all the OSS community. All this can not happen if all those who contribute to the community do not resell and redistribute it. Don’t tell me open source are just free R&D!

As my boss would say:

“What the fuck are they thinking. The GPL specifically states that redistribution, modification and even SALE is allowed of open source software. The BSD license states you can do whatever the fuck you want. What the fuck is this government about then? Open source according to them can be "pirated." Can you fucking believe this? ”

According to the article this shit head Othman held firm after being rebuffed by OSS expert Dr Nah Soo Hoe. Held firm based on WHAT? Can’t you even reaffirm your point by tabling a solid point which will actually show that you frigging understand Open Source? I don’t think you can because why? Cause you crystal clearly don’t bloody understand it! My gut feeling tells me this guy is on the take by those who are afraid of the Open Source revolution. Hahah revolution sounds a bit extreme la but come on don’t this guy realize that he is directly killing Open Source in Malaysia. He is clearly showing his stupidity and arrogance by not wanting to first understand open source before making such idiotic statement.

He is just spitting in the air and getting splattered back by his own spit. Moron!

Say Allo To My Little Friend! Posted by Hello


Yeahh !

Dont mess with my little friend here. Hahahah. His name is Bruce after the late Bruce Lee since he s a Kung Fu fish. I am purely guessing that he is a Male if he is indeed a Female I think I ll name it Halle after of course Halle Berry. Whatever laaa...

The sweet thing about it was I only spent around 13-15 bucks for the whole thing. Of course la as you know I am a bit tight this month but this is affordable. The fish is 3 bucks, The rocks cost me 3.80, the water lilys is 1.50 (50 cents each), the bowl is free (was part of the engagement thingy),anti chlorine is 1 buck and finally the most expansive of all the food which is around 5 bucks. Thing is I didnt get enough water lilys. Only got 3 so I ll need another 2 so that it ll be just nice. Had I bought it at the rip off guy at Plaza Mount Kiara I would have been cheated 15 bucks and thats for the frigging fish only. The pet shops in OU and Ikano were all selling the fish at 5+ bucks. So my advice is go to Sungai Buloh road towards Shah Alam (back road where you can go from Shah Alam to Subang and Kota Damansara) to get all this.

So now my apartment has added security with Brucey keeping a watchful eye. So if anyone tries to break in again there gonna feel the wrath of Bruce's hidden chopstick crouching kuey tiow kick!

Happy Birthday Daddy! Posted by Hello


Haaaah

It was an interesting weekend personally for me. For almost a week I’ve been planning a surprise party for my Dad. I called it Operation Daddy Do. Well at first my Mom thought of just cooking Diner at my sister’s place. Well that was ok but I felt since my Dad’s about to retire in a few days time plus the fact that he’s been the main source of fund for most of our expansive diners I guess he more then deserve something special. So I thought of a surprise for him, being me who like to surprise people I wanted to bring him to somewhere special. I ve always wanted to bring my family to “our” (hahah sounds corny huh, I know my sis would be saying that hahaha) place which is Tamarind Hill. Since the place is secluded and surrounded by houses I quickly realized that it is the exact place where I can surprise my Dad. So I gathered everyone and told them of the place (siap mail the map from the site lagi) told them to be there early. Budgeted around 50 ringgit per person (cheapla considering the amount my Dad had spent on us) at first there were concerns of the place being too pricey. My mom and sis even thought of adjourning to Suzy’s place or uptown for fear of not having enough to eat. I was really finding it hard to convince them that the place was ok. Why? because we re gonna be eating Thai food where rice will be the main dish. Its not as if each one of us is going to order Ribs or Steaks which obviously would cost more. The rice would surely make everyone full plus as long as we ordered the right dishes we would be fine. Honestly I was a bit concern of the money too hahah.

So on the day everyone did their thing. Mostly during the day we tried to ignore doing stuff my Dad wanted. Haha just wanted to make him a bit edgy. Left him at home for most of the day as we went and bought the cake we wanted to get him a Durian Cake at Bon Bon but unfortunately it was closed. Instead we got my Dad a Tiramisu cake from LaManila. (See pic) So to make sure he didn’t wander of and did his own thing I told him I wanted to bring him to a special furniture shop owned by a friend of mine. My sis told him she had diner plans with her friends and my brother went to OU with his friends. My Dad wanted to see my cousin’s daughter that night but I managed to divert him by telling him my cousin was not around. All which is not true at all. Anyway everything went on as planned. Wait it almost didn’t as we were about to park our cars my cousins cars were parked smack in the middle of the restaurant. I quickly turned off the car lights and maneuvered the car swiftly and luckily he did nt even realized it. Heck my Dad even got down in front of my cousins car but my mom managed to block him from noticing. To make sure he didn’t noticed I asked my fiancée to bring them up to the so called furniture shop. Went in and he was surprised to see everyone there at the place. Just wished I managed to see his face when he saw everyone. Well what to do had to park the car. No worries as long as he was happy and got a good shock. Thanks guys for making it happen! Hahah…

The only thing that was missing on my part was his present. Yup I didn’t get him any, I am a bit sad that I didn’t get him anything but there is not much that I could do as this month has been really tight. With the car and what not. Wished I had plastic but maybe it’s not time yet. Well at least I am not in credit. When I can afford it I ll get you the Osim massage chair k Daddy. Unfortunately, not at the moment la. So last night’s idea and organization was all I can afford. Luckily my Project Coordinating skill was put to good use….

A time to pause and pray

Previously I touched about the siege in Russia which greatly disturbed me. Today I received a slideshow of the incident. While I slightly feel that slide which showed a hand grasping a cross may glorify Islam as a ghastly religion, I guess we should not blame them for having that perception towards us. I believe there is no justification in what they did there and today I woke up reading about the bombing in Jakarta. The front page showed a girl with her back badly injured. It was as if her back was torn out violently from her body. We as readers only view them and no matter how hard we try we can only imagine but never feel the pain. How can these people justify such action? I have no doubt about my religion Islam therefore no argument can convince me such action is justified. Islam does not teach us such dreadful things. If these men are doing it in the name Islam they should be ashamed, not only did they put every other Muslim in bad light they have managed to tarnish the image of Islam to others. Was there more to it than meets the eye? Was it purposely staged to disparage Islam? I just don’t know only Allah knows. A true Muslim would not have done this. I just wished every one else understands that ….

Fork Pirelli! Posted by Hello


Fork it! This is the lump I was talking about. Notice the first zero of the P6000, thats where the lump is. Cant see it? Then I guesss its time for you to get yourself a pair of glasses. The best part is I have to replace it and guess what one tyre will cost me RM 190. Yippeeeee! Fork it! Did some google research and guess what the Pirellis P 6000 are shit!

For the time being Fork Pirellis Especially the P6000!

Ode to the nincompoops

You see I am not the kind of guy who would like to generate hate on a regular basis but…How can I help if things around me are constantly pissing me off. Things that are not of my fault, you see. Had it been so I ll definitely be pissed but not as enraged as I am right now. However there something unique whenever you are upset by the things that were caused by others; others you don’t even know. Have you ever been mad by someone you don’t even know? Someone you can not even pin point. Need an idea of what I am rambling about? Ok it’s that burned up anger you feel when your car suddenly got dented, scratched all without knowing who did it. You get so agitated but the problem is you never know who to blame. In my case at I know who is at fault but who exactly remains a billion dollar question. It’s like this, in Malaysia there s this thing called “lobang jalan” which in English is called potholes. Yeah yeah I know those things not only happen in Malaysia. The forking thing is its sooooo common (especially in Kl) that people consider it as a normal thing. Its as tough potholes are part of Kl’s identity and image. Why the fork is that? Are we so comfortable with life here that we don’t care about the wrong things happening around us? I just wished I can go in front of the person responsible for this and shout in his face “Why the fork are there potholes when I have to fork out my forking pay for the road tax?” There are sooo many people responsible for the roads in Kl so you just cant pint point who to blame. I guess it starts from the top (whoever fork you are!). Why is this nincompoop not earning his pay by ensuring roads are built well? Is it because you nincompoops are so well taken care of that you do not care to enforce what you are responsible for?

The reason I am so pissed off is because on Sunday I sent my car to the workshop for service. I knew the car was beginning to sound funny and such but I did nt realize my car was so forked up until it needed 800+ worth of repairs. Yeah yeah some of you might argue it’s a small sum to pay for. I guess so if you make 4 to 5 grand a month. Still that does not justify paying for something you should nt. My car is standard I don’t try to modify it and make it faster than it should. Other then the wheels everything else is standard. I do make it a point to ensure that it is serviced regularly because I do not want to get the shock of my life when I suddenly have to spend a lot of cash for repairs. Which still happened to me. That’s why I am a bit ticked off when this happened. Its not as if I didn’t take good care of my car, from a scale of 1 to 10 Id say the car is taken care at a rate of 7. My suspensions had to be replaced (this is the second time k), my bearings we re messed up, my engine mounting was so forked up. Most of this was said to be normal; part of the wear and tear of Kl cars. Why? Because of dem forking potholes. See normal, why the fork so? Why cant roads be made with safety in mind? Do they expect us to dodge all the potholes we see. Then what? Knock some other car in the process. When I drive I try to be a safe as possible. Having said that, does nt mean I don’t have my Schumacher moments. But I never like to make sudden change in direction when I drive cause you never know there might be another car beside you or a bicycle in your blind spot. So weather I like it or not there are times that I run over the potholes. What concerns me most is that there are soo many potholes. Even when these road builders are tarring up the roads trying to make it so called smoother they are still making potholes. You know the drainage lids, the one where the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles laaa) come out from? Yup that one, whenever the road is resurfaced or re-tarred it will cause the road to ‘thicken’. So these lids will sort of get buried slightly causing it to turn into your ever friendly potholes. There are just loads more potholes causes that I can mention but then again I have a job to do unless I wanna be a full time blogger then I can write about all of it. All I wanna say is to all those responsible for the potholes “Fork the road minister, Fork the road officer, fork the contractors, fork the overweight lorries, fork the pothole makers. All you mother forkers, fork you too. All of y'all mother forkers, fork you, die slow mother f**ker” ala 2 Pac’s Hit Em up la gitu hahah….

By the way did I mention that right now I have a lump on my just replaced 6 month year old tyre/wheel? Plus most of my rims are busted. All yet to be fixed. Yipeeeeeeee! Kah Kah Kah Kiok ….

Fork It!

Damn check out dem cherries! Posted by Hello


Collateral is cool..

As usual Friday’s blog will usually be about a movie I watched on Thursday. If you notice we usually go to the movies on a Thursday so yesterday we went to catch Collateral. But before that may I mentioned how lucky I was to grab the Maxim mag with my favorite babe of all time Kim Smith. That her up there. Whoever tells me she aint a babe must be having some problem down south. Anyway all I can say is I was so happy to get the mag (ask my fiancée she ll tell you) cause I almost thought I could nt get it. Kim Smith to me is the ultimate babe because she s got a really wicked body. Whether its natural or not I honestly don’t care. Plus look at those fork me eyes. Damn she’s hot. To me the person that can compare to her is Alessandra Ambrosio that’s the chick on the chair (see my previous post).

So watched Collateral last night first of all I didn’t encountered any CI (no not criminal informants but cinema idiots). Praise the lord, hahah suddenly I sound like the blonde cincaued hair dude in Amazing Race, Brandon (Haaaa his girlfriend Nicole is another hot babe lucky for all she didn’t shave her head). So how was the movie? Well what I can tell you is that don’t aspect it to be a wham bam shot here meletup(blown up) there kinda movie. The story is a bit slow. But that doesn’t mean the movie is bad, instead it was cool and I liked it. After watching it I realized that watching it is like a Kl driver driving along the east coast here in Malaysia. The pace is slow but you enjoy the scenery. You get absorb by the journey without noticing the time. Suddenly being slow is not a concern. The same goes with this movie its slow but there is enough trill and action to keep you entertained. I like the fact that there was nt a lot of mindless action scene in it. Usually if it’s a Tom Cruise movie most of the time its gonna be about him. The spotlight is too much. He ll be the hero, savior, numero uno of the movie (watch MI,MI2,Last Samurai) so its good to see that it didn’t happen in this movie. No doubt he’s a good actor but with the spotlight shedding slightly away from him it actually made him stand out more. His character Vincent was really interesting a philosophical cold blooded killer, someone articulately skilled at influencing people with all his philosophy and his assassination skills is not bad either. Well nuff of that so hopefully I managed to give you slight idea of the movie and at the same time manage to safeguard the storyline. Hoping to see the Bourne Supremacy looks cool, another cool assassin movie.

On a separate issue I just like to point out how disturb I am with the cowards who siege a school in Beslan Russia and took innocent humans as hostage. For god sakes this is a school we re talking about. There are a lot of kids there man. Kids, how much of a threat can they be. Well I guess because of that these idiots went in to attack them. So that just reinforces the fact that these idiots are cowards. So let’s pray for the innocents to be safe.

Lastly, huuurrmmm Anwar Ibrahim is a free man. Does this mean all the allegations against him was false or did he get away on technicality? Humph why are things getting more and more complicated? Makes you wanna make your own world ala The Village. Hahah…

Ok enjoy your weekend…

Cheers..
