Got Monday Blues Today?

Are you in the office today?

In normal office attire?

Feeling the Monday Blues, like usual?

Guess what?

I'M NOT WORKING TODAY!!!!!

Nope, not annual leave, nor a no pay leave. The Company's on leave today...

Jeles Tak?

I'll be using these phrases in office...

...but the ones I speak English to is my bosses. Nevertheless, I'll keep it in mind to use them, any chance I'll get! Not mine tho, got it off the net...

1. How about never? Is never good for you?

2. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

3. I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.

4. I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

5. No, my powers can only be used for good.

6. I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.

7. I’m out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message……

8. I don’t work here. I’m a consultant.

9. It sounds like English, but I can’t understand a word you’re saying.

10. You sound reasonable… Time to up the medication.

11. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

13. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don’t give a damn.

14. I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

16. Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

17. The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.

18. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?

A photo I shot just a few hours ago in Shah Alam. No kidding! 38C!

which "nasi lemak" were you thinking, eh?

Children Of Men

I know I'm late, but I only get to watch Children of Men yesterday night. I had to say, I was thankful i didn't watch it in front of others. My jaws were hanging 3/4 of the movie. I was awed! If Nell has her 300 to drool to...I have my Children of Men.

It's a story set in 2027, where ALL women were impotent and human race are doomed, for there's no means of reproduction. It has caused such suffering and psychological trauma, that even the government are advocating suicide. This can also be seen by the news, focusing on the death of the youngest man on earth, although there are bigger issues social issues elsewhere.

We follow Theo (Clive Owen), in his living through the what ever time humanity have left, losing hope himself, or so it seems to me. Living in Britain, the only place on earth yet to crumble (including Malaysia!), He finds escape in the outskirts with his old pal, Jasper (a hippie Michael Caine).

After accepting an offer from his ex-wife, Julian (Julianne Moore), he set on a journey to send a refugee hiding with a militant group called the Fish to send a girl to be with a group called The Human Project.

What's so special about this girl you ask? It's just that she's pregnant, the first after 18 years.

What made the film so superb, was to me, the camera works. There's a lot of long camera works, that I love so much, ever since the Stereophonics' Closing Time music video. It reminds me of the Half Life 2 game, so for those who love HL2, COD, Battlefield, and cinema-quality games, you'll definitely appreciate this.

Imagine having a scene where a baby is born, from the pushing, to actually delivering a baby...I don't know how they do that...seriously

The year's 2027, so of course things are a little different from now, right? New technology is shown, but with such subtleness that we can actually see our future it that fashion. Weird cars that look like the Smart line of cars, a little modification on the existing vehicles, like the Double Decker buses, and many more. We actually accept the technology shown, rather than they shoving it down our throat.

Acting wise, I would say Michael Caine did a superb job. The worst may be Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) saying "wicked!", but after seeing them in a 5 mins (or more) long shot, I would say that they did a very good job after all.

I can't say more...am lost of words. Kudos to Alfonso Cuarón for directing such a great movie, and Emmanuel Lubezki for giving me a movie that is both beautiful and scary to watch.

A Guy's Post

Disclaimer: Although the majority of my readers are (reportedly) female, I just need to let this out of my system. And what better way to do it than to write?

Urinals: the fast-lane for the gents, the express counter for the mens, and so on and so forth. It has been designed to provide quick access to relief, almost strictly to men only (and women with milk cartons, :p ). It is designed for one purpose and 1 purpose only, to be peed on.

So the issue is, HOW THE HELL DID I SEE SOME PUBIC HAIR ON THE URINAL? not in the sink hole, no sir...it's somewhere on the top.

What? Were you grooming there? Oh, get a stall! If it was stuck to your zipper, then shame on you for failing to notice the impending doom before leaving the house!

There, I feel better. I hope you are too.

So You Think You Can Dance?

If the Swede couple chose to name their son Metallica, just because they're themselves are hard rockers, then they're a fool, at least that's what I think.

They should make their child a hard-rocker first, then name their child accordingly. You you can have Danzig for the eldest, Led Zeppelin for the 2nd, Disturbed for the 3rd, and Inul for the last (the last one loves dangdut...)

So what should this baby be named as?



So Cik PMS, would you be training Nur Metal Ika to jam first, or name her later?

Vote for Metallica!!!

Have you heard of the news about the Swedish authority denying the application of a Swede couple to name their child Metallica? Now that couple sure are die hard Metallica fans.

But I pity the kid if the authority did let them name the child Metallica. Imagine his first day in school.

Teacher: Hi there, care to tell the class your name?
Metallica: Hi all. I'm Metallica.
Teacher: Oh, that's funny. Now come on, and tell the class your real name.
Metallica: No, really. My name is Metallica.
Teacher: That's it young man. The first half hour of your 11 years in school and you already start to bullsh*t me!
Metallica: But...But...
Teacher: No but s. Off to the principle's office!

Okay, maybe I'm overdosed with Calvin and Hobbes right now, after all, I have a PDF of C&H daily comic strip from 1985 to 1995 to read!

Oh, and what if, he grew up to be a politician? What if he runs for the Prime Minister?

How can we differentiate this:


From this?

My Current Favourite TV Advert

I laughed my hearts out when I first watched the DIGI advert, where a mother, her son, and her son's 'lover' was in a heated debate, in a Hindustani movie scene. The part that made me laughed was, although all the rain, thunderstorms, and expressions were there, all the dialogs were in SMSes! They even included some smileys!

Although the I Will Follow You series of adverts have been made a joke on Digi (The Yellow DIGI Man is held responsible for DIGI's spotty coverage, because he likes to walk around and be left behind..), this one is just a gem!

Oh, not forgetting the Hello advert also from DIGI. It seems DIGI have gotten themselves one hell of a advertising team. I would like to congratulate them, but I don't really know which company/team are behind it. Mute, maybe you know?

Da Vinci's Code Mistake

For those who had read the Da Vinci's Code novel, it seems that some meticulous research have been done on art forms, as they are said to have captured the moment when it is made. Some others, have deeper meanings, more than meets the eye.

For example, The Monalisa. Upon close scrutiny, it appears that the horizon in the background differs from Monalisa's right and left shoulder. Some say that have a meaning. But I think that as good an artist Da Vinci is, he is still human and open to error. How many times that you have to re-do something the next day because it's full of errors, while it looked perfect upon completion.

I don't think Da Vinci have CTRL+Z at that time.

But if he does, this is maybe how he painted Monalisa
