Batman Begin Sequel

I have to admit that Tim Burton lose out for the first time. Now this is the Joker that I always wanted him to be.

This is the villain for the sequel of the recent box office Batman Begin.

Let us just pray that Batman will always be evillish and obscure and will NOT give any comment to the media or make any public appearance like what they did in Batman And Robin shit.

Imagine him standing above a giant cruxifix on top of the building with wind blowing from his back. That's gaya I would say. Same effect can be done with Spawn...

Smooookin'

Noted from Star Online/Newspaper:

"Chua: Tak Nak campaign must be realistic"

“I welcome NGOs, which have a lot of suggestions, to please go and face the 13,000 farmers and tell them what crops to plant other than tobacco.”

"According to Dr Chua, an average farmer has 4.2 family members, thus some 65,000 people are dependent on the tobacco industry."

also noted from Star Online/Newspaper:

"Government saying tak nak to Tak Nak campaign"

"In our country, about 50 children below the age of 18 start smoking every day. About 20% of the country's six million cigarette smokers are aged between 12 and 18."

from the quotes above I do a little mathematics,

13,000 tobacco farmers x 5 family members: 65000 people

(in one breath)

Can I conclude that 65,000 people will die of hunger, without place to stay, no more education opportunity for their children, no astro, no TV to watch Akademik Fantasia because some of them were not successful in shifting into other crops in a country with so many type of agricultural product and factories administrated by a Government that brought us to be one of the successful country around this region in term of economics and the only reason for the unemployment problem is choosy fresh-graduate?

also,

50 under-ages smoke everyday.

One year-365 days x 50 = 18,250 people

Existing numbers of under-age is 20% of 6,000,000 = 1,200,000 people

After one year, the number of under-ages smokers = 1,200,000 + 18,250

                                                                         = 1,218,250 under-age smoker

(same, in one breath)

Can I conclude that by September 2006, Malaysia will have 1,218,250 potential smokers with deteriorating health plus minus those who just in time to quit that due to their restriction to the accessibility of cigarettes was compromised by the Government who wanted to retain the sustainability of 13,000 tobacco farmers along with their family that made up merely 65,000 people?

Wow! Malaysia boleh! Selamat Hari Merdeka ke-48!

disclaimers: the writer would like to admit that he belongs to the 80 % of the six million smokers in Malaysia. Hypocrisy is intended but then "Sendiri sial sudah jangan ajar orang lain mah"

Shame On You: Shameless Copycat

I used to blog hop around to read good blogs by those famous blogger, blogger among friends and from new friends. I'd introduced some in my previous entry N.W.B . One of my favourite blogger is Ms. Minishorts (www.minishorts.net)

Today, through her blog, I'd learned that there is a Malaysian friendster with a blog shamelessly plagiarized her posts. That friendster is a she. Copied straight up and not a word missed. How incredible was that? And the worst case was... this copy puss copied overall four posts of Ms. Minishorts. These posts by Minishorts are great stuff to read. And they were copied by this irresponsible person by the name Kris G.

She is stupid enough to link all minishorts's pictures. I knew Kris G is friend to some of you guys but I have to say this. This is going too far.

And for Kris G, you can erase all comments leaved by people who knew you bad deeds in your friendster blog site but you can't erase mine huh?

What a lamer....

she already deleted all the related blogs (apparently, as I'd heard it...don't bother to check though...) some more Minishorts isn't going to sue. So I guess I need to "delete" this post as well.

Idiotic Parade

On my way back from work, I saw a van. Moving fast in the third lane along Federal Highway. The thing that got my attention was at the back of the driver's seat, a about 10 ft rod with a Jalur Gemilang tied to it. I was like WTF?

After the major hit of mini flag with adhesive stick footing, now they are upgrading it into a bigger size? I guess for patriotism, size does matter huh? While people from around the world trying to break record in term of surpassing beyond human capability like spending the longest time in hyperthermic north pole lake, or become the fastest reader in the world, or even our neighbour was doing the most male participants in a gang bang event... Here we are become the winner of the biggest flag la, the biggest roti canai, the biggest mooncake, and of course the longest murtabak ever make...something like that, well you get the idea. That is so lame...

Anyway, last year, my friend's car got hit twice by this mini Malaysia flag with the white self-adhesive stick. Neh...the one you proudly stick to your car one ar... That was during his drive to Penang. Doofus fuckwit must had bought it from some cheap vendors with low quality adhesive material. I mean moving in a speed of 110 kph and if that plastic stick snap, the car behind it will suffer.

Now, some fuckwits were tying up their super size jalur Gemilang to their van. I can imagine incident that might happened but then again it would be bloody.

To those who tied the Jalur Gemilang to their car bonnet, let us just pray they flag don't come up due to the it's potential wind resistance nature and cover the windscreen which eventually lead them to bang a divider or to bang (thank GOD)another doofus's van who happened to tied his 10 ft Jalur Gemilang. That would be a scene.

As I reach Sg. Rasah tol plaza, it was jam as usual but hey I got my smart tag mah... I laughed my heart out because the van can't go to the express cash lane because of his stupid 10 ft rod with the flag that stood with pride... Waiting.

Now that's what I call a "Malaysia Boleh" kind of patriotism... Eventhough I have my own perception of patriotism towards this beautiful country that I live in but that would be in another entry...

Blast from the Past

I always know I am a bit of the vain. Yeap, vain as in women kind kind of vain. A little bit of a narcissist myself. Nope, I don't think I am metrosexual, simple, Calvin Klein don't want me for his advertisement. Shit! I am stereotyping again. I am so sorry, can't shake that habit.

Anyway, today I saw a guy... Malay guy. He was wearing this cap. A leather cap with a metal plate on it, saying "Born To Ride". *Blonde gesture showing she is gasping* OMG, that was so ten 13 years ago! I remember back in 1990s, One brand that is so very hot that Ah Bengs and Ah Lian are so into it... BOY LONDON. Whoa! Remember that time, a plain white t-shirt with these words on it? And it was wore with Levi's jeans (wear it baggy or should I said "Londeh"). You are a complete BOY LONDON beng if you are wearing it with a cap with metal plate on it, read BOY LONDON also... Scary!!! Beside that, you can also wear trouser bell bottom style with a folded sleeves and with a batik at the back near the pocket and of course with BOY LONDON belt where we have a metal plate also. For you information, I AM PART OF ALL THIS ARRRGHHHHHH........GOD WHAT HAD I DONE.

After Kurt Cobain kill himself and Bon Jovi released his "Crossroad" album and tour in Malaysia... We wear rock t-shirt. At that time, we can even noticed uncle and auntie wearing Jimi Hendrix or Metalica t-shirt in Pasar Malam. I'll cut my dick off if they know who they are actually wearing. Darn insulting, I would said. Let's see who I got... I got Ice Cube, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Jimi Hendric, Metalica and also Smashing Pumpkins. All either stolen or lost during my trip to some places. Oh...I got Rage Against The Machine also... the one with 5 nuns holding AK 47. Wearing this with londeh Guess and also a pair of Dr. Martens. And there you go... You are now a official rock music fan poser.

For old time sake, I got my Dr Martens in Candem Town, London during my studies in Sheffield, UK. Tears roll down my cheek as I paid for the boots and got to smell it for the first time because that was the boots that I can't afford last time. Yes , I am vain and I am definitely a Dr Martens purist where people in UK wear it to do construction job.

The things that I still possessed are Smashing Pumpkins's ZERO T-shirt, checked slack and also my pair of Dr. Marten. All these will go with me into the coffin and straight into the incinerator. Amen

Soler

I remembered how I was converted from a NKOTB hardcore fan and Aaron Kwok's music fan to a rock music fan about 13 years ago. It's Gun N' Roses's Knocking on The Heaven Doors. And some friend s acted as a catalyst towards my conversion. Got my Use Your Illusion II cassette later and that's it my whole life change.

Chinese music was another thing that got me "jahil". The manufactured product from some 4 Heavenly King. Do you believe that I actually collecting Andy Lau's cassette last time. About 20 albums...If that bugger was releasing 2 albums per year. That will make a period of what...10 years...OMFG...

I still listening to Chinese music though but of course the good and less pretentious of course for example, Faye Wong. As I grow older, I become more experimental and willing to accept new things in the name of music. Pop music, I mean. Faye Wong being a icon herself sharing the Hall of Fame together with Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, David Bowie and of the notorious Dr DRE, bring in new stuff to be introduced to all the Ah Beng and Ah Lian under the Sun.

Having such mind set make me want to listen to new music especially those from Hong Kong. A place where there is no music industry. The only related industry is the Entertaiment Industry. Why I said that? Well, the music they (HongKies) made are so fake and giving a sense of releasing album for the sake of releasing album and get famous by joing the movie industry after that... Do I hear any involvement of this essential matter called music? Nope. For example, if Eric Clapton come to HK to cari makan... He need to throw his love for blues music and his guitar to do some dancing because HK ah Beng love it. You can't really do your own thing.

But then, last night as I drive home after work, the radio station was playing this sound that I had miss for a long long time. Rock music from the South of Mainland China. That piece totally got me blown away. Introducing new duo band named  Soler. Like Savage Garden Hong Kong style. Sorry to said that this duo is not really Chinese. Guess the Ori Chinese can't  make really good music huh? Most of the songs are in Cantonese... Canto-pop mah... two English songs and few Mandarin songs. Good riff they got there. Oh by the way... they are biological twins.

Good songs like Sat Wan and Hoi Siu are worth listening and also a English track titled Natural High which is as bluesy as it can get. Try it. I am sure you will love it.  Oh yeah, they are handsome... typical boy band looks but of they got history. Before releasing this album they play around for the rock scene and also they were on tour with the famous-now-defunct Beyond. You can try listen to their stuff here for Sat Wan, Hoi Siu and Natural High .These people are the band that will going to save HK's rotten superficial music industry.

Hate to be Hated: Pretends' Advocate

Just watch the show called "Homegrown", a show about local acts all around Malaysia. It's a musical show. Before commercial break, they would show you a famous quote from some music icon of this century. Today they featured a few like Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne and of course Mr Kurt Donald Cobain. Mr. Cobain said this

     "I rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not"

Since Mr. Cobain spitted on the camera lens, wearing woman's lingerie, threw himself onto the Dave Grohl's drums set, damage his own RM5000++ Fender Stratocaster during his performance back in the late 90s and finally shoot himself to death, this quote is not in any adjacency of pretentious. He is for real.

No offend to Mr. Cobain but sometimes, I think we need to pretend a little. Not for the sake of being loved but for the sake of not being hated. It's OK if nobody likes me but hopefully nobody hates me. That matters. Period. Codes of act in whatever situation, venue or timing are in fact a pretend. Don't you think?

1. Should I act happy even if I am sick because everybody were laughing at that moment? Should I ruin the party. I can choose to walk away but then again people will start asking...What's wrong?
2. Should I act sad at the funeral even after I watch Stephen Chow's God of Cookery? I wanna laugh but I won't. Something tells me I can't do that.
3. Should I start feeling sorry for myself and owe an apology to the one that I love for acting in the most obnoxious way after I was drunk in some occasion like new year's eve party?
4. Do I need to swallow the bitter statement made by my fucked up so-called friend during he did some introduction with brief details of me to his friends or colleagues. Can I punch that prick on the face?
5. Can I get my butt up to move with music when Bono is singing "Walk On" or "With or Without You" without fearing I might block others' view because most of the Malaysians especially the Chinese think that concert means sitting on a chair comfortably and I need to sit because I paid a godamm RM450.00 for it?

Nobody's an Island and that's a formidably truth that I reckon, because there will be an attachment. Unhealthy attachment will results anger, control, and sense of possesion.

I don't know why or where this feelings came from but of course you don't need to find out. Maybe it is just me. I think I need to watch back this show starring Leonardo Dicarprio called "The Beach".

Petrol Station New Trick

On my way back from my work place, I went to this petrol station to fill up gas. Lots of cars lining up for their turn. I waited for mine. Then the far most pump was available, so I just drove my car to this pump despite of my oil tank being on the other side.

Shut the engine off. Got out from the car after taking all the stuff I needed like credit card, reward card, wallet and mobile phone. This lady driving a Proton Waja came to me. According to her, I need to move my car because her Waja oil tank is on the correct side with the pump and she already paid for it already. She apologized though, but…

I mean… What the fuck? How could she do that? Yeah she just did it…

While waiting for your turn, you actually get out from your car with your friend inside the car to pay in advanced to certain pump? WOW! That’s a slick trick. I took a look on the car’s number plate… It started with W, well, she is not Singaporean but she is for sure keep a close relationship with some Singaporeans.

Not in ant intention of hogging the already busy petrol station, my only reply was “ wah, like that also can ar? You boleh lah…”   I made a U turn to the other side of the pump which happened to be available. That was it, my car in the opposite way facing the rest of other cars.

This is a new kiasu trick which I learn and will be used if necessary in time to come. I haven’t thought over how I am supposed to apply it but hey, what the heck…

Any application for this trick, ladies and gentlemen?

W.C Second Instalment

I have no idea why I am so into it that I write about it for the second time.

I went for this restaurant some where in PJ. Pinjam tandas. The toilet was ok despite the smell. We got flowers and pretentious designers sink. I got down to my business. Pull down zip, clamp and there I go. While the exhaustion of my unwanted fluid was a bit long because I hold it for some time already, I just look around. I spot this signage on the wall with the interesting quote that goes:

                      "KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT PRACTICE IS NOTHING"

Why this quote is in a toilet? This is kind of quote are suppose to be in a academic books or some self-improvement workshop or some diaries distributed by some of those freaking insurance company, aren't they?

I'd seen some of the interesting quote in the toilet such as "PLEASE DO NOT THROW YOU FREAKING CIGARETTES BUTT IN THE TOILET, WE DIDN'T PEE IN YOUR ASHTRAY, DID WE?" or "POMPUAN SATU MALAM 012-315XXXX" or the boring "PLEASE FLUSH AFTER USE".

Then it suddenly came to my senses that it mean something for the toilet especially the public toilet. This is quotes goes out...

to all FUCKERS, (YEAH IT MEANS YOU, YOU FUCKHEAD!)

1. who already knew that they need to flush the toilet after use, but these fuckers just let it be...
2. who doesn't stream their pee due their malfunction dickhead because they laid too much living stock from Bkt Pelanduk. Splattering their pee around the edge of the toilet bowl and didn't do anything about.
3. who doesn't pull up the toilet seat, resulting pee on the surface and worst still will be they do not splash water around the pee-polluted area, resulting the yellowish spot from their fucking dried up pee.
4. who knows not to leave your 'tinggalan sejarah' in the toilet bowl. You are ought to know that you need to flush it.
5. who knows that you should by all mean splash water to your shit after you'd flush it if there are still some left over due to your sticky shit. Probably you were having durian feast yesterday...I don't give a darn thing about it.

All these are knowledge, a ought to know knowledge. But then if it is left undone/no practice, all this is nothing!

Nice quote I learnt from a toilet somewhere in PJ. Thank you Lord...
