Mr & Mrs Tan Tit Wei alas

Mr & Mrs Tan Tit Wei

December 27th 2008, the marriage of two of my close friend that I have known for almost 10 years now. From comrades of the same society in school, to friends, and this two from friends to lover and now husband and wife...something that none of us will ever imagine in our very first encounter.

Jacob with Sook Yen the Bride and Tit Wei the Groom

Words can never describe how happy I am for them, so, regardless how tiring I and the rest of the gang were on their wedding day, being buddy, usher and giving any help that we can, we or at least I m more than willing. I know it's a bit corny, but I'm just a little disappointed I gave not much help, haha~!

The couple with the 'heng-dai' convoy

I know there will be change, but I hope it is for better. It won't be like it used to, it will be a new form of the gang. Well, I'm anticipating our next gathering.....

The Gang

P/S: Well since they got a house of their own, isn't it a good idea to parasite on them for our activities? Wahahaha~

This is just so beautiful

Review: Guinea Pig 1 & 2 (1985) ***[GORE CONTENT ALERT]***

What is the sickest thing you ever watch? Some may say some slasher films, or bad porn or The Blair Witch Project not because of the gore but because of the camera work.

Well, if you have not watch some sick shit, go get Guinea Pig films series.

Guinea Pig series is a Japanese video series started in the 1980s, the first two can be consider as a mock up of snuff film, or as explain in the video, a 'remake' of actual snuff film.

In Guinea Pig 1 - The Devil's Experiment, there is no plot. It is explain in text at the beginning that the recording is an experiment on actual human, in this case a woman on how much pain she can take. Therefore in the next 40 odd minutes, we are fed with visuals of three guys slapping and kicking this women, pinched her with a some spanner, slammed her hand with a hammer, spin around on a chair, exposed to insanely loud music via headphone, pulled of one of her finger nails, splashed with hot oil, followed by maggots then some animal's internal organ and lastly poke a needle from the side of her face, into and out of her eye...

Detail of arm post oil burn and a sprinkle of maggots

Well, sick enough? The special effect is extremely good, most of the tortured skin or limbs looks realistic enough, although if trained and observant enough you will notice some fakeness in them. You will know it is fake when the guys are kicking the woman. They kick like sissy. If not for the poor performance of the victim, one can easily being fool to think all is real. For someone being tortured like this, I will expect more desperate screaming and begging.

Is this fake? or real?

So, if you have some digesting issue and need to vomit, watch this, it will help you a lot, but make sure you have a healthy heart to start with.

Guinea Pig 2 - Flower of Flesh and Blood does has a plot, and it is simple. Pervert stalk women, abduct them, drug them and dismembered them while they still alive but drugged. It is said to be based on a manga (the dismembered portion, basic plot of manga is totally ignore) which in turn inspired by a real snuff sent by a crazed fan to the manga artist, along with some photos and 19 pages long letter.

The pervert

After a more conventional stalking and abducting scene, for the rest of the video, a crazy guy with a samurai helmet, will first tell the audience what is he going to do, and makes parallel between the mutilation of the woman and the blossoming of a flower. He starts with cutting of the hands of the women, followed by the arms and legs. Next he gut and disemboweled the woman and finish off with a clean chop of the head. Video ends with he showing off his collection which consists of decorations made of previous victims body part and his reciting of a poem as voice over.

Look! No hands!

Well, which this can duped Charlie Sheen into believing its a true snuff film, there is at least a few points where you can deduce this is fake. First, the video shows the guy cut off the clothes of the women, the women is stripped until the undergarment but it made a jump cut to the women fully naked but covered by a piece of cloth.

What? It's fake?

Now why is this? If it is a sick enough video to show dismembering a living human body parts, why not it does not dare to show a full naked body? Hmm I did not or haven't watch any making of for this video, but I suspect the cloth plays a big part. It is a cover up. Most likely it employs the old trick where the women just show her head through a hole on the bed or chopping board and the rest of her real body may be sitting under the bed. The 'body' lying on the bed is a dummy. So, the cloth is needed to hide the giveaways.

There are also a few shots where you can see that the flesh does not really attached to the skin and bone, which is so uncharacteristic of real flesh and bones. Plus, when the skin or body is cut open, it bleeds too slow. Using a surgical knife like instrument, it will cut through the skin and flesh the moment it is stab and the blood should be gushing out asap. But in here it takes quite a few seconds.

But whole idea of dismembering when the victims is drug rather throw away a lot of sickness. If the victim is screaming and begging like hell, the impact of the violence will be greater. Thing's is, a conscious victim will have a lot of movement and struggling which make shooting dismembering the fake limbs realistically will be difficult and revealing.

Although the status of this second film is higher than the first, but the non-amateur like editing and the performance of the guy which resemble more to a mentally disturb medical examiner really does not convey the sense of brutality. It's good on the special effect, but many rooms to improve in manipulating the audiences' fear and feelings.

There area round 7 titles in the series, just done till #2. More to come folks.

Untitled II

Rainy lonely night,
Empty chest of void.
Depresses, intoxicated, confused.
Bleed but no blood, weep but no tears,
laugh but no joy, just laugh, weep, bleed.
Mind numb, body tired, eyes heavy, but heart still beating.
World changing, people evolving, rain stopping, but not yet life.
Hot air, cold night, warm blood, cold heart.
Stars hidden by rain,
heart masked by face,
intention lost in words,
me vanished in the crowds.
You no where to be found,
to be known, to be exist, to be believed.
I breath, I eat, I drink.
Live? or just living?
Live? or leaving?
All live, and all will also leave.

Review: The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

Hmm...I never expected it to be action packed alien shooting drama. I brief research in IMDB will tell you it's more about a commentary of human being. So I actually thought it will be philosophical and there will be lot of debates rather than laser beam.

A lot of audience will be fooled to buy its ticket thinking this is just another alien invasion CGI extravaganza. But it is not. You can see what the director attempted to do, to tell us we are rotten and how ignorant and egomaniac we are thinking we own this planter all for ourselves, and how our destructive nature will let us to doom.

Sad things is, this idea in Klaatu the aliens mind does not meet with a lot of criticism or argument from the characters in the film. There is only one counter point for Klaatu's intention which it magically 'get-it' at the climax of the film (not a spoiler, it's a rather predictable plot). The content in the aspect is so minimal that makes this film like an elementary ABC book when compare to The Matrix Trilogy. The audience do not think in this film, somehow most will agree with Klaatu to kill us all.

One good thing about this film is, the apparently violence hating alien is kind of bad ass then under attack or terminating the life on earth. Unlike the over stereotyped peace loving characters in Star Trek or Star Wars or whatever star, the peaceful alien here have no problem killing anyone, and watching them conducting mass destruction towards US government officials is just so fucking satisfying.

As usual, the US government is portray as violence dumb ass, and we will have a lady 'believer' since the alien takes a male form; we must have a balance role for both gender, and all races since they shoved in one African American as a 'major' character in the form of the heroine's step son.

The best department in this film is the casting. Casting Keanu Reeves as an expressionless alien is just so perfect. But his costumer reminds us of Constantine and Johnny I don't know what film. Why the plain suit? Maybe the studio think a dude with roundneck T and jeans will not pass as an expressionless alien...

In short, if you expect GCI wars with alien, got get Star Treks or Star Wars. This is just like a poor man's version of Stanley Kubrick's 2001!

Closeeeerrrrr......

24th...it is getting closer...

No, it's not about Xmas, I don't give a damn for this pagan celebration disguised as the birthday of some carpenter (no offence, purely my pathetic brand of sarcasm).

It's about the so called Wedding of The Century.

"So-called" since I am yet lived for a century, so I can't really be sure this is the wedding most talked about I my group for this century.

Yes, so far it is the most talked about, mainly because both bride and groom from the same group. How to a certain extend boring, and fun and economic.

Boring in the sense, same people, maybe doing some different thing, in this case getting tied up.

Fun, because since both we know, it will be a fun occasion. We can joke around and referencing our internal in joke that other people may not have a clue whatsoever.

Economic in the sense that we can dispose two singles at one time using one Ang-Pow. If both is getting outsiders as their mate, then we have to give two separate Ang-Pow! See? Get it? Do the math!

Tonite, may be the very last night going out with this couple when they are still single...consider. Next time it Ms Lim will be Mrs Tan or Puan Tan, and Mr Tan will be...err..Mr Tan, still or Encik Tan.

Strange, female for Tuan is Puan but male for Puan may or may not be Tuan? How come ar?

Well, they have Gambit!

Jackman's Logan is so iconic to me that I just having difficulties watching his film when he is clean shaven...

Like it and fun. Bush does have a natural talent to be a comical game character~!

Sock and Awe! - Throw the shoe at George Bush - link

T minus two weeks and counting...

It's less than two weeks now...the union of two close friends. I took a moment after writing the line and try to feel how excited I am now, but too bad my stomach is making an episode and I just have the sensation of want to shit...so I can't follow up that line by saying how excited I am.

I remembered when they told us their plan to marry this year end, I felt like "Wow...that is quite some time..." but now, it is just less than a week.

It's a marvel to see the groom to be guy to finally set up his own little family, being someone's husband, taking a new responsibility, being a leader, a head of a family. He is a funny guy, always funny. Sometimes the funny part is intended, but for most of the time, they appeared to be otherwise. He has the uncanny ability to use proverbs and sayings in some very curious manner, he can magically sings some totally different lyric of a song he know so well, even when the original lyric is pathetically clearly presented on the TV screen. He is just an amusing fellow.

I expected to see him grow, mature slowly but never have I expected he will take a great leap to marriage. Marriage is not for kid, especially if the groom and bride take active role organizing the wedding. It is insane. From some conversation with them I know unless you are rich enough to employ a wedding planner which will take up quite a bulk of the trouble, wedding is really an insane process, even if it is a rather 'simple' one like what they planned.

Frankly, IF I have a girl friend now and assume that we have dated for quite sometime, a few years for instance, will I be ready to marriage? No, I do not think so. I really like to live carefree. A girlfriend will do me good but not a wife and a family. Who the fuck invented some joke like marriage anyway? And we need to sign some forms for it too...I hate form filling!

A Brief Study of A Retarded Guy's Pick Up Lines

OK, am boring on a gloomy Sunday evening and what can be a better entertainment than making fun of some retarded in the net?

The below conversation is an exchange between a retarded guy and Siowgirl, a fellow blogger. I just copy paste it from her blog without permission lol!

Bold - Retarded guy
Grey - Siowgirl

Italic - My comment


y u so sexy one? (obviously the idea may originated from her MSN avatar but that is not important, a casual observer will notice, he asked "why" rather than making a remark which suggest he want the girl to know he notice she being sexy and want she to tell more why is is sexy, with the hope that she may make some 'suggestive' remark. from this we can safely say that he wants to do her...only.)

=.=
whr got

(but her reply is not the best he expected)

got la... (interpreting that she may be a little shy and as usual, retarded like him will think that the more he praise the girl, the happier she will be and she will like him more.)

nop (abrupt end, nice move)

can u gv me a hug? (retarded question to be asked online, poor follow up for the whole sexy thing. why not just ask "can I do you instead"? it is bolder and ballier.)
sure
(some cutesy emoticon) (ha~! he must expect her to ask how to hug online, so that he may suggest to meet up or something.)

haha,y u so cute? (obviously, rather speechless and run out of trick. May think, how come my usual trick on juvenile victim does not work?)

ask my parents
ask god (rather usual style from this girl...although I don't think she is religious)

haha!if u continuse like this,i will love u deeply (thinly veiled "I'm going to get you" so that he can keep on making suggestive remark, but using "haha" to disguised it as a joke if he fail which will obviously be the case)
=.=''''' (again her usual reply)

scare? (meaning, what does she think? Is it working?)
i think u nuts (rather lame reply from Siowgirl, was expecting some uber sarcasm...maybe she think that is too sophisticated for this shrimp brain guy)

lolz
i'm trying to tackle u,u say me nut....make me so sad,want cry already la (corny line #1: compliment her beauty/sexy, corny line#2: show you are venerable/sensitive in love life...too corny and outdated even for a dork like me...)
ok
cry for me (yeah this more like it...quasi-evil line)

my heart soft soft one,u know?easy cry (heart soft and easy cry is not so related. Me cry easily even when watching film, but have a heart of stone, or maybe stainless steel. So this is another line of that retarded to show he is 'sensitive' and he is not a playboy whatsoever. Yeah, he's an idiot)
ok
show me ur tears (another good one)

bcoz let other ppl hurt b4 (guy with a sad past, he must think this makes him look pity and will soften the girl...)
u come beside,i let u see (if the two parties is not in the same room, this must be the most idiotic message.)

Conclusion: You know those uncles in those local cheap karaoke/pub that always flirt with those middle age waitress with make up thicker than oil painting? This is what this guy will evolve to be. You may curious how I know that these uncles do, well there is one such joint at the back of my house and have witness quite a few drama whenever I pass by it.

This guy up there, if he is a player, than his victims and success case will be some teenage girl with rather low IQ and adult with low IQ that has rather low expectation, easily satisfy with cheap praise or gift or promises. Those that watch too much drama that has totally being brainwashed by it and dreamt to have such so call romantic encounter has in those drama will fall easily in this. Imagine those lala you see in the street, those physically unqualified but still wearing as little as they can and showing the poor public their spare tyre and their very bad quality skin...yeah these are the group that will fall for this trick.

So sadly, this guy think that our friend here is a or at least, think like a juvenile lala. How sad that is.

Well, it is not hard to know what kind of person he is, just read between the lines and interpret using logic and common sense. Trick is, ask yourself, why he ask such question? use such words? make such remark?

Apply it all, and you will find how retarded this guy is....lol~!

Trailer - Watchmen (2009)

Another trailer for Watchmen.

The Case of Miscommunication

So two of my friends gonna marrying each other this month end and they are going to give us invitation card for the wedding dinner.

And so the groom MSN me last Tuesday and ask if I am free on Sunday night cause he wants to pass us the invitation. Well, of course my reply will always be "Alright", "Can", "No problem" etc.

And so I waited and wondered where will the little gathering be? Our usual place? Maybe a dinner together? Or some other place that for reason unknown suddenly pop up in his mind?

And characteristically, I did not hear from him for the whole bloody week. Not even on the Sunday. Since, one of his traits is proposing a plan or gathering or activities that even he himself never meant it, and the possibility of the preparation of his wedding are so fucking consuming his time, the gathering may be called off or postpone or I may expect an last minute call.

At the end nothing. I presumption above enable me not to feel surprise, but a message on MSN with another friend revealed something much to my dismay. The friend ask "Why didn't join the mamak just now?"

Well, you know me. I'm highly flammable. And so I briefly explained that I never get any confirmation and given the groom's reputation, it is just pointless for me to proactively seek for confirmation. I am still the guess and he the host. And the second message that ticks me off his my friend said that the groom claim to have message me about it....GREAT! A brief MSN message that as if I am free Sunday night which I promptly reply asap but never get any reply or further instruction in return....WOW that is just a fucking crystal clear MESSAGE!

Of course I am pissed! I always support my friends and this wedding couple are among my dearest friend. I know the groom's character of being absent minded and never methodical in his doings but I just pissed! And those who attend never thought of calling and ask the character that always present why is he late or something. Hmm...guess the group is evolving again...

Needless to say, I made some sarcastic remark which I hope my friend sense it, and SMS to the bride explaining briefly why was I absent and thank HER for inviting me to their wedding. NO, don't imagine that I am having a row with the groom. He is my friend and I understand his character. I am just a little pissed, that's all. Especially speculating what is the odd this couple will still be joining us in our activities after they got married or after they got a child or two. This may be the very last time we go out when they are still a bachelor.

Sigh, I was once among the first to get a GF in the group, but now I am among the few still unattached and not seeing anyone. Suddenly, the loneliness crept in. No, I am not desperate for a gild, I just missed the gang as a whole. Of course the presence of a girl will be good, but looking back, I missed the good old days when we still can be considered as kid...now, only I'm the kid.

Bond Films

I always like Bond films, regardless if it is the best in the series or the black sheep of the franchise, I like them all.

There is never a bad Bond film, all is enjoyable and fun, but a handful will be rather pathetic. But if I disregard how those handful will disgrace the 40 years old franchise, I can still enjoy them as a 2 hours long eye candy and mindless special effect flick.

The previous Bomd film, critical and box office successful Casino Royale has resurrected the Bond-mania in me. From then on, I started to collect the "Ultimate" DVD of all Bond films. The release and viewing of Quantum of Solace is light a rightly timed booster for my collection. In conjunction with the release of the latest Bond film, the studio has repackage a few Bond Ultimate DVD in to a few box set and priced rather low compare to "ala-carte" Ultimate DVD. Of course there will be a slight difference.

For a start, the DVD case is not as good as the ala-carte's, and the simple booklet is not given, not that I care. All I need is both the feature film and the special feature DVDs are inside.

After successfully making me quasi-broke before even entering December, I have finished collected until the very last of Roger Moore's Bond films. Ahead will be two of Dalton's and 4 of Brosnan's. I already have the 2 disc special version of Casino Royale and to my dismay, now they just released a 3 disc version, with some additional feature, particularly one about the art of parkour which I loved to know more. Still considering, although I think my conscience had talked me into forgetting it. Hopefully they got a quasi-original version of it in Amcorp Mall that is cheaper....

The Case of The Dead Battery

So Saturday...as usual I will spend sometime with my car. Since friend will be fetching to the wedding guy's bachelor night, so I have all the time I need before night.

After a quick wash at a nearby RM 8 car wash service (I have not wash the car myself since a couple of months ago...I'm allergic to detergent, yeah right), I took the car home and proceed to rewash the windscreen and the windows. As you humble me is a bit of a perfectionist, I have to make sure every inch, I mean CM of the windows are covered. So, I have to turn on the electric power source so that I can lower the power window to clean those hard to reach area.

This done, I applied some rain repellent liquid on the windscreen. It has been rainy lately, I think this will come in handy. The whole process only takes me around 15 minutes, and by the time I was done, the mother of the baby my mum is babysitting came and we successfully dispose the very last job related thing for the day.

So I happily make myself a giant glass of iced coffee, and online and happily wait for my driver to come. I found that the typical Chinese bachelor night is always boring. There will not be any stripper and all the relatives will be around. Whoa, so the meaning of being bachelor is, you have relatives? The only difference between bachelor night and the night function Chinese typically have for the deceased (where you go there give donation money and sit don't know do what) is, instead of mourn, the bachelor night is a celebration, instead of looking at the deceased one last time, we visit the bride's room; instead of eating some lamely made food and cheap drinking water, we have nicer foods and booze, and the better part is bachelor nights do not have those annoying religious rituals.

Despite the fact we need to be early the next morning, I think we will hang around there rather late if not for some unexpected annoyance I choose not to relived here. After a rather lengthy journey, I got home alas, around 1 am. Worried that I may forgot the red packet for Sunday's wedding dinner, I think it will be good if I put the invitation in my car, for I surely will drive there. So I get to my car and found something weird...hey, the car key still in the car.

No...those cliche plot of car key lock inside care will never happens to me. The car isn't lock, but the power never switch on. I could barely see the battery light on. Try to start but it couldn't. Optimistically, I thought "It has been 7 hours the power if left one, maybe after a night sleep it will be OK tomorrow". Of course it won't.

I got up early the next morning trying to start the car. Oh shit! It was dead, and I need to have a car for the "buddy delegation". I interrupted my dad's morning shit and ask him to help jam(or jump?)-start...but of no use. We spent around half an hour trying and trying. At then end, I called my friend informing this bad news, but I still join the delegation anyway, but not driving. Thing is, the delegation also do not need this many cars as he expected. So in a way it doesn't really matters anyway.

Of course I didn't tell any of them what really happened that day. For it will be extremely paiseh for me to face the wedding guy with such stupid incident. And in order to make the misinformation works, I have to misinform other friends as well...Sorry, but now you get the truth~! Haha~

Alas, and EL on Monday and I got my car towed to the service center and the battery get a new replacement for free. Of course I have to do the misinforming part again, if not it may not be for free. If everything happens for a reason, the this incident of the dead battery happened because maybe God predicted I will get a hangover from the wedding dinner. Well, it is something a expect for being a buddy at the "Yam-Seng" session anyway...That night, highly intoxicated but still not drunk. It's good I don't have a car to drive that night.....

Misfired (Inspired by a true story)

There is no take two in life. You will live up to this motto if you have one of this experience.

All is set, all is ready for the big day of your brother. Today, you will get a new family member, a sister in law. As with all typical Chinese wedding your brother, along with his buddies has started their journey to his future wife's house. There they will endure countless mindless challenges set by your sister in law's "sisters".

At any minute, the whole delegation will return in their cars decorated specially for this wedding, along with your new sister in law. As any typical Chinese wedding, they blow the horns endlessly, making as much noise because they know no one will complaint, as this is a celebration of a new beginning of both the bride and the groom.

It came suddenly! Although you expected it, but the sudden break of dozens of horn startled you. In a flash, you remember your mission! You have to ignite the fire cracker! To bring this celebration mood to a higher level. Not a second to lose, you retrieve the lighter from your pocket. You have sudden boost of adrenalin, you dash fast and far to the front gate, and as the sound of horn is getting nearer, you ignited the fire cracker and it blast like a psycho with a M-16.

Then here comes the brides car cruising magnificently, passing you, passing you house...

OK this is weird, shouldn't it suppose to stop right at the front gate and one of our boys here gonna open the car door for them and get a red packet?

And this car does not look so familiar....and why does it take to corner? And all other buddy cars follow...and none of them looks like someone I know....

Damn, I lighted the fire cracker for the wrong delegation! This is our neighbour's! They have someone getting married today as well!

Oh damn, the fire cracker cause us a fortune to get from a smuggler. We only have one...now what should I do when my brother's delegation get here? Shit......

Inspired by a true story occurred on November 23th 2008. I was in one of the arriving buddy car, and the family that screw up the fire cracker ignition is my friend's wife's neighbour, who happen to have a wedding going on the same day. You should see their faces when they realized they got the wrong delegation. It's bad, but I can't help to laugh!

Wedding Season...

So, last Sunday a friend get married.
One of his neighbours is getting married on the same day.
One of his wife's neighbours is getting married on the same day.

Close friend # 1 has a cousin getting married on the same day.
Close friend # 2 also has a cousin getting married on the same day.
Close friend # 3 has a relative getting married on the same day.

Friend's friend has a friend getting married on the same day.

On the 23th of November 2008, there are more wedding cars than police patrol car on the road.

On the 23th of November 2008, walked in customer to some major Chinese restaurant will be disappointed.

On the 23th of November 2008, you got a feeling that everybody is getting married and it is a hype now...getting married? No way.

In the middle of this, my company Annual Dinner at December 19th.

Looking forward, close friends (both bride and groom) is getting married one December 27th.

My cousin, is getting married the day after, December 28th.
Another cousin will be getting married on January the 4th, 2009.

Wedding banquet food is nice, provided you don't have them too often, say once a quarter will do. Now, I will be happy is they serve other stuff, say Japanese? Italian cuisine is fine for me as well...

But I can only hope...

This year end, wedding season. And none of them see clearly what they are signing up to...God Bless them...

Review : Quantum of Solace

Alas, the long waited sequel to Casino Royale. This is the first direct sequel ever in the Bond franchise. The film event started just hours after the final scene of Casino Royale.

Unlike Casino Royale that started the film with a quasi noir black and white pre-title sequence that briefly explain the origin of James Bond (origin as in how he get to become 007), Quantum of Solace starts the film with a mind blowing car chase featuring the Aston Martin DBS V12. It is always fun to watch the car chase in Bond film. Not only we get to see super cars in action with great driving stunt, but it is just fun to see how they destroy these super expensive cars as if they were bought using cow dung instead of money. The case ended in a rocky cliff construction site...and somehow reminded me of the very first car chase of Bond films in Dr No.

The title sequence is rather so-so compare to the last one. Although the naked women image is making a comeback, but I prefer the innovative use of playing cards' motive to represent elements like blood, smoke or bullet in Casino Royale's title sequence. As for the song, well, so far nothing can match Connery era's theme song.

Being a direct sequel, the film's main story will be about Bond tracking down the main culprit behind the activities in the previous film. Although Bond appears to be not so affected by Vesper death, but throughout the film we can see that the death indeed affected him a lot. So, the viewer will not be so sure if the action in this film is more on the world saving mission or rather a personal vendetta by Bond.

Actually, the world saving part of the mission in this film is like a bonus. Bond's mission is rather more to personal vendetta and it is fabricated by the need to track down and make clear what is the organization supporting Mr White's plan. This can be proven by the setting of character Camille Montes who is trying to avenge her families death. Camille is a parallel to Bond in this film but both find their solace in a different way.

For Camille, her haunted past died after she avenge her families death, and is going to start a new life, while Bond, despite the advice from his friend and superior, is still haunted by Vesper death and to a certain extent, use it as a motivation to keep on going in his mission. Rather a Batman way of handling death of love ones...

There is a good balance between action and exposition scenes. After a few minutes of super stunt, we get to take a breath and being fed with plot devices. There is nothing new about it, the evil plan is a workable one but typical in most post modern spy and conspiracy theory film. But in anyway is better than laser gun satellite and invisible car and surfing on tsunami.

Action wise, it is so good they have very little CGI in it. Like the car chase, plane dog fight and physical combat with a lot of debris, crashed furniture, torn clothes, cuts on faces etc...It is just hyper-realistic and it is an eye candy.

Acting wise, Craig did it again! Giving life to a update version of Bond. He is the very first Bond that actually give us a cold feeling. He really made is credible that Bond is a cold-blooded assassin that has no opinion taking anyone's life. While Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan have made Bond into some kind of stock character, so far only Craig and Connery have made Bond serious man with a very important mission.

As always, Judi Dench is the best M ever. A little of motherly value, a bit of sarcasm and a competent boss and leader. The previous movie M is like the Commissioner Gordon in the 1960s Batman series that call Batman for whatever idiotically simple crime like missing lunch box etc, Dench's M is like Gordon in The Dark Knight. Yeah, she mean business and there is no joke about it.

Well, this year we have two sequels of a rebooted franchise - Batman and James Bond. Both sequel is applying the same approach - more on realistic plot and characterization, less on campy-ness and gimmicks. Both left us wanting for more. While Nolan is not sure yet for the third Batman, Bond 23 should not be a problem, but just keep our finger cross and pray that they won't screw up Bond like Moore and Brosnan anymore...

Video: Batman: Dead End

So, this is a fan film of Batman made some 5 years ago.

I think it is the coolest Batman live action after Nolan's Batman films. The Batman looks much like Alex Ross work in DC comics. Nice acting as well for both Batman and Joker...

This is even better than the campy Adam West and the "Nipple Batmans" - Val Kilmer and George Clooney...

Fortress of Solitude - Toys Dept

I like to go shopping complex. It has everything; place to eat, place to shit, cinema, shops, karaoke and some even have gym (the management must think the visitor has not walk enough there).

I don't mind going shopping alone, or loiter around in it all alone. In fact, it is the way I find some solitude. Being in some crowded place where no one knows you can give I more peace that stay alone in my room, cause I can always overheard the noise made by my family member, even the faint hiss of a switched on TV set.

If I go to shopping, there is a few outlet or department that I must visit. The video shop, bookshop and the toys department. I like toys. I may not buy any, but I like to keep myself update of what the children can play with nowadays. And toys nowadays are getting more and more interesting, and expensive.

One thing I like about toys department is, there won't be any sales or promoter coming and mumble something like "HowcanIhelpyou, sir?" in a way that you have to get him or her to repeat four times in order to understand the first word. This usually happen when you shop for clothe, which is one of the reason why I seldom update my wardrobe.

I like toys...I like looking at toys...and I plan to get some toys in my car so I can play when stuck in a jam...problem is, I seldom get stuck in a jam...

Furious, partial...

Furious today, I am very.

I expected shits, after a day off. I expected a lot off works, since it is the culture now for the backup to just symbolically clear an order or two for me (I did the same) when backing up. I have no complain. I expected it.

Maybe it is the headache. Don't know why, just some headache. Maybe some evil Monday virus. The headache made all the difference. I can't control my temper.

I shot back all the stupid question emails. I don't care if I offended the other party. They ask stupid question, when the answer is just right before their eyes. They do redundant things, which may cause me to do useless double work. They never learnt from my previous guidance, and keep on being a parasite. What they really think I will give face just because they are foreigner?

This is a day when I will snap when people do this. Why would they? How hard to do things correctly? I am in no way very smart, what I did can be done by anyone else. I was being patient enough to show them, even if they are from other department, not even my team, how to get the information they needed, who to contact, how to check for update. But why still bother me? Is it because I helped them before I will have to obligation to go on let them parasite on me?

Will they ever learn? If they never learn then it is just logically to deduce they yell at their 80 years old mum to whip their dirty arse after poo. This is just so characteristic of them. The pathetic team of the profession that I loathed most...

Strangely enough, my temper is rather clear cut today. Only furious at these people while still has genuine friendliness to other...

Long Vacation?

What is a long vacation?

Long vacation is a vacation so long and you actually get tired of it and want nothing better than get back to work asap.

When was the last time I get this long vacation? Before I got this current job, which is roughly three years ago.

Job hunt can be a very long war, or just a short campaign. The last one I had, it took me more than a month. After working three years with constant income every month, despite all the frustration, am I ready to let it go and start another campaign?

I am just very sure, given the current world economy status, if I quit and start another job hunt, it may be a pathetically long one. My requirement is simple, boring 9 -5 job will do. Just sit in front of a computer with Internet access for the whole day. I do not want to go to the industry I studied, I do not seek thrill, but the peace of monotonous life.

There is bad blood in the office, although I never get affected, but overhearing the idiot, which happen to sit rather near, is like pouring acid into my ears...

Am I ready for a uber long, long vacation? Or better just stay here, stay low, remain anonymous, just live my life day after day ans serve the purpose of my existence, which I do not know. Maybe the God's mail to me about my mission lost due to some postal error...better this way...hahaha

Review: Rob Zombie's Halloween

Halloween (1978) is the low budget horror flick that started it all. If not for the success of the original, we won't Friday The 13th series, A Nightmare on Elm Street series, Scream series...yada yada yada.

After around 30 year since the original was released, and the franchise and mythology of Michael Myers have developed into a totally different thing presented in the original film, finally, inevitably, a remake is made.

This remake or reimagining is a combination of a prequel and episode 1. It tells us the origin story of this killing machine Mike Myers and retell the event presented in the 1978 film. While the original focused more on those sudden shock kind of horror, this remake present horror by the portrayal of graphic and brutal violence scene. The original may makes you pee in you pant (if you drank too much and refuse to go to loo during the movie), the remake will make you puke, not because of the graphic disgusting scene, but because of the idea a human did such a thing to its fellow kind.

Yeah human, the origin story of Myers make him a human, a disturbed, distorted mind, sociopath, victim or the by product of post modernism capitalism society. The whole remake is like biography of a serial killer. The cause, early signs, behaviour of Mike in the film fit so well with the analysis of all most of the serial killer we have - dysfunctional family, domestic violence, lack of love, violence towards animal, bad in school but not in the least stupid etc...

But this is also the bad side of the film. The magic of the original film is, we only know the 'shape' is a maniac killer. Even though we have the name, but we never know who he is, what kind of person he is, what he is capable of, his potential etc. We know nothing about him, and that's why the fear is more intense and the movie is more fun to watch, a feature length psycho killer slashing teenage slut.

Michael Myers

In short, I enjoy this film giving a life and soul to Mike, but sad that the magic and whole insane mythology built up all this year is erased to give way to this realistic portrayal of this serial killer behind a painted white mask of William Shatner...

Shatner, see the resemblance?

The Long Halloween

Surprisingly (to me) my favourite Batman comic is not The Killing Joke by my favorite comic writer Alan Moore, but is Batman: The Long Halloween , written by Tim Sale with are by Jeph Loeb.

This is a superb book, it gives me the same feeling of watching The Dark Knight, but with a little twist. Unlike the hyper realistic representation in The Dark Knight, the concept of The Long Halloween is just moderately realistic. Batman still able to pull fantastic stunt, Catwoman is just too awesome a fighter for a too sexy lady.

The book pays a lot of homage to film noir, especially The Godfather. The starting of the book, some scenes in it...you will know and feel excited if you happen to be a fan for The Godfather as well. The film noir background mainly is caused by the fact of the presence of the Mafia group in the center of the plot, since the main plot revolves around the investigation of the murders of several prominent mafia figures on the major holidays or festive season by a mysterious serial murdered the press called "Holiday".

Set around the second year of Batman's adventure, The Long Halloween is also an origin story of the complex villain Two-Face Harvery Dent. If not for the presence of super hero and maniac villain, this book can be viewed as a mystery crime thriller, a mafia story and even a psychological drama. It is a very very engaging story, and the art work is just nice, for having a balance of portraying the aesthetic of superhero figures as well as the fashion, set design of Gotham City with a strong presence of nostalgic mafia setting. In short it is a Batman + The Godfather + Infernal Affairs combination kind of comic.

The Long Halloween is prominent for:

a) retelling the origin of Two Face

b) highlighting the cooperation of Batman, Gordon and Dent in crime busting

c) pointing the fact the the freak villain in Batman universe are drawn to Gotham due to the presence of Batman.

d) reminding us how interesting Two Face is after being haunted by the worst performance of Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever (aka Batman Growing Nipples).

e) giving new breath to those minor once laughable villain like Calender Man (that is given a Hannibal Lecter like treatment in this book, just cool).

If got the chance, read this, you won't regret it!

Wednesday coming...hmm this is fast. So far I haven't felt that Tuesday is Tuesday yet, and Wednesday is just an hour short.

If not I have to back up some colleague away for Diwali holidays, and the fact that starting today we have to fully use the uber mafan new production system, this week should be a jolly good relaxing week.

This weekend is visiting the historical city again. If no changes, maybe it will be the first time I'm gonna drive there. The last visit there I was the passenger, with my buddy behind the wheels of my car. Now he's at UK with his wife and hopefully can see them again by next year end when she finished her study.

On December another buddy is getting married with a good friend. If not for the other buddy being in UK, this will be a super fun "Wedding of The Century" for our little PBC group, as Yong putting it.

Don't know when will visit Melaka again after this weekend. Heard that the gang may have it on November, since we fail to make it during Raya...

Been there so many time, so often...will it be sien? Nay...location is never an issue, the best part is the fun time with the company!

Blog @ Starbucks

How ironic, I'm buying a Starbucks iced coffee but end up using Nando's Wifi...

Saturday, weekend. This should be my day. The day I get some rest, a lot of rest; since on coming Monday, when the whole country is enjoying the Deepavali holiday, my evil company's evil department needs the be operational! Damn.

I have no problem going to work, or work...whatever. But what I am truly don't light is the fact my right of getting rest, along with all other friends is robbed away and denied, just for the sake of some dude I never set my eyes on. Fuck it!

Funny part is, I do enjoy working on a public holiday. Especially when it is a National festival like this. Reason being, there will be a number of people missing then, the office will be rather quite and when I work like this, I won't feel pressured. It is peaceful, unlike the usual chaotic. And somehow, it makes me feel time travels faster this way...

I told a friend that this Sunday evening may not be a gloomy one, since Monday is off. But now it is confirmed that I won't be off, so I think the gloomy will still on, just not as intense as usual...

Bought hell lot of DVDs this two days. Can't control...maybe it is the effect of being pissed that I have to work on Deepavali...

Song: 陳奕迅-超人的主題曲

Tiga is the Ultraman series that revitalized the Ultraman franchise in the late 90s.
The Hong Kong version OP has been replaced with a totally different song sung by Eason Chan. I think the first few verses melody sounds like the beginning of Skyrider's theme...maybe it is intentional.

Nice Plat Number

Look at the plat for the black Myvi. This is just a very cool plat number, I meant the first three letters. It does makes a very strong statement. I wich I can have that...btw, which state's plate number starts with a "C"? Please do advice.

I prefer CCB to PKM, cause the idea of PKM is just disgusting...CCB is nice, and some of our hot PM in the office always curse using it too...!

Get me intoxicated! I thought you are the high level alcohol drink~!

So, in one of my drinking session with my dad at home (our only father and son bonding method), he taught me this: You must exhale through the mouth as mush as you can after every sip of vodka. Then, you won't be getting intoxicated so fast.

Thanks dad, now I try using this vodka to make me intoxicated so that I can get sleepy and sleep a wee bit earlier for tomorrow, but instinctively, I use your method when drinking. It is already more than a dozen shot, and I am still fresh!

Damn it, last night I can get a bit dizzy after two cans of 8.8% alcohol of beer with you but now I don't feel a bit of anything after 12 shots of 40% (actual should be 37.5% to 38%) alcohol level of vodka? Those are not fake, that is for sure, I felt the burn, but is it taking to long to reach the brain? Or will never be there at all?

The last thing I wanted on a Monday is a hangover. If the alcohol only do their job after I succeed to force myself into sleep, there will be a very higher probability I will get it. And that is just very bad!

Yam~Seng~!

My SL400, a bottle of Finlandia vodka and a shot.

P/S: Instead of sip, Why not just finish the shot at one gulp? This will definitely accelerated the intoxicating process!

Song: 何韵诗 - 韵律泳

Denise Ho, not consider the mainstream, but far more talented. A disciple of a legendary diva~

何韵诗 - 韵律泳

作曲：Edmond Tsang
填词：黄伟文 编曲：何秉舜

若你下去　让我亦跳下去
冷水暖水　无一点畏惧
至少最终　曾出生也入死都一对
我要用两个身体　编一种韵律给世界赞许
动态静态绝对合拍　为爱得悲观者表演创举
同一刻飞上天 同一刻跌下水
谁可以做情侣　动作不一致又一对
要是你没法起飞　我亦会争取
留在这泳池里　陪着你鸳鸯戏水
同一刻举了手 同一刻踼着腿
泥沼里暴潮里　仍共你形影不分一对
眼里有彼此　韵律也不需
凭一个默契 陪着你舞翩翩跳下去
若你慢了　让我学你慢了
挺胸转身　同出一格调
和你能够成双　破绽也都不紧要
要配合你再辛苦　辛苦比快乐都算太渺小
在训练里让我学会 为对方的偏差值得折腰
同一刻飞上天 同一刻跌下水
谁可以做情侣　动作不一致又一对
要是你没法起飞　我亦会争取
留在这泳池里　陪着你鸳鸯戏水
同一刻举了手 同一刻踼着腿
泥沼里暴潮里　仍共你形影不分一对
眼里有彼此　韵律也不需
凭一个默契 陪着你舞翩翩跳下去
浮下去沉下去　游下去潜下去　再优雅踼腿
然后你沉着气　抬着我连续四翻身插水
同一刻飞上天　同一刻跌下水
谁可以做情侣　动作不一致又一对
要是你没法起飞　我亦会争取
留在这泳池里　陪着你鸳鸯再戏水
如芙蓉出水那般　举了手
还一起　踼着腿
泥沼里暴潮里　仍共你形影不分一对
太快了肯等　太慢了肯追
才可以绝配 成伴侣一世同舞跳下去
难得我和你　磨合里跳出真正乐趣

Crap Entry

Surprisingly, so far no very very bad things happen in office yet. Got a slightly good news, some one is taking care of my Korean portion. Hope it will works better like this.

Maybe it is due to the pathetic 4 working days illusion I have after the Monday ponteng session, time flies rather fast this week. Now is Wednesday night, an hour or so later it Thursday, then Friday...hahaha~

I find that I buy a lot of original DVD and CD lately. Maybe alas I realize and appreciate that they indeed have better quality. Somehow I think I was cursed, the last few batch of pirated DVD and CD mostly has problem. So, in between getting a stroke and paying more, I chose paying more for original copies. Plus, I am very into those "Special Edition" DVD. Pirated one don't have these. I have some very deep interest in those behind the scene thingy about filmmaking. Indeed, when I watch those features, it makes me even more appreciate the work of filmmakers.

Already got Ironman from SM (near Petaling Street, 10 ringgit cheaper) when I went KL last week. Have my eyes set on The Incredible Hulk...but still waiting patiently for The Dark Knight.

It's a pity they don't have the ultimate Superman 10 DVDs (or more perhaps) edition here...

Song: Joanna Wang - Let's Start From Here

This is just so nice...it is so nice that I actually bought the original CD even I have all the mp3 versions of the album!

Joanna Wang's Start From Here

Working EL...Pathetic!

I never plan this EL. The idea just struck me spontaneously.

It was 6 or around 6...once again my mum washing some stuff in the kitchen and left the door open, and the noise travel through the morning of Evil Monday to my ears. Remember my headache the night before? Well, it's still there and haven't left! So I was thinking, how is it like to drive for half an hour, facing the sun to a freezer and sit there for 12 hours? Damn, just the idea of it makes my head even crazier.

I do not think doc will issue an MC for headache, and going to a doctor is just a waste of time and money. There will never be a nurse like those they have in Japanese video. Reality sucks and life is boring. So I decided, EL. So I proceed to sleep after I figure out what to say to my manager.

But this will not be a relaxing day. First, I have a headache to deal with, then, I planned to at least take a look of the work that came in from late Friday to Sunday. So after I wake up around 9 something (consider late for a weekday) and curse at a torrent that stuck after completed 99.8%, a lunch time, I go out to a nearby Starbucks and work.....pathetic.

So that's it. On a EL day, I still manage to work till 6 and got home at 7.30 pm, after some loitering around. But the good part is, I still have an illusion that I only work 4 days this week!

Pathetic!

Smoking Biscuit: A Confession

Puffing...how many of you do? How many don't?

First of all, who does not know how to smoke? Read carefully, not asking how smokes, but who knows how to? Smoking is bad, but not so much of harm if trying to find out how it is like.

Surprisingly, despite being in a boy school, I never have peer pressure about smoking. Maybe I mixed with a better crowd i.e. nerds that will argues about the approach solving a add maths question that has the potential to escalate to a brawl. But I never argue, cause I never really bother doing it.

But eventually, somehow I've learn how to smoke, but luckily, I never get addicted. Maybe the addicting department in me already busy serving the caffeine. I took up the habit for a while though (hey, I bought a packet with my own money, I might as well finish it right?) and I drop it. Just like that~!

Recent changes, tragics and the whole bad feeling and chaos and shit in office, especially the kick off of the mountain thingy really affected my mind a bit. I don't think it is pressure, just some very negative feeling, and missing the good old days in the office where everyone knows clearly what they need to do and do it correctly. Peaceful days, very very relaxing days.

The departure of SM to a better opportunity means I have to double for two persons. This means that I have to actually work non stop the moment I switch on the Thinkpad until the sun is set and I have to make a choice of either stopping or collapsing. A month ago, it was hell.

Now I never believe smoking can makes one relax, unless if one is addicted to nicotine. I, however, am not. But the act of smoking can indeed to a certain extend help you calm down a bit. I am not a chain smoker, I am not even a smoker. As I told one of the Singapore colleague when she came here a year ago, I am a casual smoker. This mean I am not the type that need to get down to the lobby every one hour or so to fill in the lungs with shit. I only do it, once in a while, after work.

After a hard days work, the idiot-ness from the profession that I loath, and various other problems and issues that may or may not related to me really made me very jumpy, emotionally unstable and super hot temper. Now I do not want to bring all this negative feeling home, to my bed, so before the drive, I need to cool off myself. This is now the smoke comes it.

What is the act of smoking? Look and analyze the action. A guy standing or sitting down, inhaling and exhaling from an end of a lit cigarette. If we minus the cigarette, then it is just a guy standing or sitting, inhaling and exhaling, which means a guy standing or sitting there breathing and doing nothing else...NOTHING! I am an impatient asshole. If I got a mission (in this case, drive home, shower, eat and sleep), I can hardly stop and do nothing, but smoking will give me an illusion that I am doing something, but in fact not. How long it takes to finish one cigarette? Five minutes? Assume so. So, before I get home, I actually do nothing for five minutes, and in this five minutes, my system somehow manage to regulate back my emotion, breathing, heart rate and I just feel "hey, that's not quite a bad day after all"!

Smoking is bad, don't pick it up. October has a good start, and I do not need this little mood adjustment thingy before getting home, especially when the sky has the sun hanging there smiling at me when I leave the office....But I don't mind for some session every now and then...if situation permits...

Evil Black Monday Blues

This coming Monday is a very very evil Monday.

The evilness is not sort of those "monster of the week" type evil in those tokusatsu show that you can dispose the monster in 25 minutes run time, 30, if you count in the commercial time as well.

This evil, is more like the Joker type evil, which is, plain evil. The evilness is so great that the Monday Blues are getting darker with shade looks more black than blue. Even we are still an hour odd short to get to this week's Monday, the aura of the evil already felt.

By 7 o'clock tonight, after dinner, I started to feel something wrong. Stomach is upset, I need to rush to the toilet and eject some light floating shit that has a nasty smell, suggesting this is not ordinary shit, but something may gone wrong in the system. There may be chances that I may need medical attention later.

So far, there is no other occurrence of such, but things don't just end here, the usual gloomy Sunday evening made an entrance without any cue or prior announcement, and it hit me so bad, my head starting to ache. I hate this. As of time I'm typing this, the ache is killing me bit by bit.

Yet, me, as a fighter in spirit, always have a opportunistic view on things. There is nothing that cannot be done, nothing that is so serious that can beat me. Me, I'm never serious (which suggest why I'm still not owned) feel little burden or pressure from work. I just don't like working. I just like surfing the Internet the whole day and pretend as if I'm very busy.

But, remembering the fact I has printed out dozens of orders last Friday that came in very very late, and I left them on my desk so that I can look at them first thing in Monday morning, I recall how evil Monday is. Fuck you Monday!

Starting tomorrow, I have to painstakingly counting down to weekend. I had a very bad weekend this week. For most of the time on Saturday I was stuck in the traffic for errands not related to me. Oh gosh, Saturday is the only day that I may feel enjoyable. Some pathetic relative already spoiled my Friday (my favourite weekday) and now my Saturday is burnt for some family obligation that they do not even bother to give an early notice. Worst part is, that is the first thing that I heard on Saturday morning! Damn it, can't you wait till I'm done with my shower and stuff and tell me after I done reading the papers?

The moment I open my eyes after sleep, to the moment I pick up the newspaper to read after brushing teeth, shower and a quick shot of coffee is my danger zone. I must to conduct all this without interference, anyone attempt to talk to me or interrupt the sequence.....hahahaha I will blame all my bad luck to you for that day, and I will unleash my sarcasm to break you mentally. But dear friends, relax, this only applies when I'm in my own home, with my own family.

Having living with me for more than twenty years, they know better to come across my path. The recent irritation I got from the office only makes me more flammable than ever.

So, as you can see, the coming Monday's evilness can even extend to the weekend before it...damn evil Monday. Don't you remember I am evil as well? See who's the last one standing~wahahahahaha~

<無題>

時間永遠不夠用,
錢永遠都是賺不夠.
麻煩永遠都嫌多,
工作永遠做不完.
真他媽的, 這是生活嗎?
一到五忙得像隻螞蟻,
周末有時玩得像個瘋子,
有時候卻閒得像對大便...
靜靜的,慢慢的,讓光影悄悄的溜走...
等發現時...太遲了...
已經是禮拜天的傍晚...
邪惡的星期一...
黑色的星期一...
可怕的星期一...
又捲土從來的...
他媽的上帝,
你敢馬非要用六天來創造世界不可?
幹嘛不用一天創造完畢, 讓後其他六天都休息?
你不是全能的咩?
怎麼不能呢?
你現在分明是在昆我們唶!

Song: 周杰伦 - 稻香

One of Jay Chou's new song, rather meaningful lyric (as usual his style)...
listened the whole album already, no big surprise, pretty standard Jay-Pop...
Got some heavy stuff, some light hearted piece, mandatory oriental style hit yada yada yada

周杰伦 - 稻香

词/曲 周杰伦 编曲/林迈可

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随著稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随著稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

所谓的那快乐
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了
谁在偷笑呢
我靠著稻草人吹著风唱著歌睡著了
哦 哦 午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
哦 哦 阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

我在out這方面, 是很in的...

終於! 終於! 終於有得唱K了!
經已等了多久辣? 不知, 大概新年前後到現在吧?
終於約成整班朋友去唱K, 本來滿期待的...
但是, 不過, 可惜...到了K房, 才知道大事不妙!
看著螢幕上的本周流行, 我竟然一手都沒聽過...就連歌手的名字也沒看過...
就算看過也不知道張的身麼樣...
呵~大變 (Oh Shit~)我out了!
轉身一問, 還好, 愛俺納特阿隆! (I am not alone!)
他們也覺得有點out, 不過我覺得我最out,
因為我連TVB的電視主題曲都不知道....
鬼咩~我都不追劇的~unless是我超有興趣的...
那些什麼什麼月圓阿, 什麼什麼風暴阿...都是爭家產爭來爭去....
只看戲名都已經發風暴血管啦...還追...
真估不到, 就好似林海峰說的那樣...我在out這方面, 是很in的...

Evil Comp Rob My Right To Take Leave

New month, same old suffering, in fact, worse.

The evil company is extending the leave freeze, entering October, it will be the third month. If you consider some of them need to come back on weekends, this means basically it's people works a full month. How wrong is this?

You may say, "But you all get OT right?" Yeah right, but what is the use of money when you don't even have time to go for doctor if you are sick? When you have to skip your lunch almost everyday? When you are having an emotional roller coaster knowing that you have to stuck in the office while your friends missing you in a weekend getaway? Worst, I am not entitled for OT!

Now they do not have any concrete statement if the leave freeze will end soon. They don't even can tell when my team can shift to the new production system, or even if we are to use it at all. They never updates about the customer's procuring website thingy, they never update when our big partner is buying automatically, by passing us...they never update, but expect us to magically know what happen and react on it. Even if we made an intelligent decision but if doesn't fit they pathetic standard (which depends a lot on their mood), we are toasted!

Hmm....if I go on writing, maybe it can become a book series...better stop here. Need a calmer emotion so can get asleep easier.

So, dear friends, me is suffering now, so if you want to help, please recommend, a nice job and/or a nice girl....wahahaha~!

But preferably, a nice job with high salary but do nothing.

Trailers: The Godfather Trilogy

Official trailers for all three The Godfather films.
First two were made in the seventies, the trailer art haven't really developed yet.
Part 3 was made in the nineties.

The trilogy can be summarize as the rise and fall of Michael Corleone, with a just but bitter end.

Masterpieces of all time...

The Godfather (1972)


The Godfather: Part II (1974)

When people ask what business my company is doing?
Should I answer: Chopping board? Or Kitchen utility?

Home Oriented Weekends

Ah~my dear weekend, you are here alas~
I can sleep as long as I want, as much as I can... great~ just great~!
Despite just get the salary, but I'm already a poor man now, no joke.
This is not modesty, this is a fact.
So, to cut down cost,
I have to reduce going out alone, wandering around, 'cause this will burn my fuel.
I have to do less shopping, especially for comics or DVDs or CDs or toys...
I may have to cut down the monthly allocation for alcohol supply, but this will pend the approval from the evil side of, me, which usually will think of a workaround to get its supply.
Sigh...this is gonna being a very home-oriented month...
at the bright side of thing, it can really get me some rest.
Stay at home, read those books bought but not even touch yet...
watch those DVDs bought but haven't touch yet...
Maybe re watch some cool stuff like The Godfather Trilogy...
Watch Senfield Season 1 again...
Stay at home, get some drinks and plenty of rest...
Don't you think it's kind of boring?

I just can't do things that I can't rationalize!

Recently office is hell. Too many work, I can handle. Too many issue, I can solve. Too many error, I'll feel bad, but still will correct it. But one thing I can't do it, things that I can't rationalize~!

Hey, why don't you do this report so that you will get more busy and spend 15 hours a day sticking your arse on the chair?

Erm..what is this report for?

Some big shot needed (which actually means, I don't know~!)

When you can't rationalize the reason to do something, you can't do it whole-heatedly. You will just sort of doing it, but not really doing it, and the main purpose is not doing it, but appear as if you are doing it, so that you can entertain the one that ask you to do it. Get it?

Maybe that's the reason I never learn to like mainstream hip-hop; where they sing love song in a very fake bad-ass way with music videos where the female model acts as if never get laid for pass 30 years seducing the male 'rapper' that sings allegedly romantic lyrics with a face of mugger. What's that? That's why I like rock better, cause they are insane and never hide it. And underground hip-hop with hint of gangsterism elements. Those are real hip-hop with style.

Perhaps that is why I don't quite enjoy club. I enjoy friends, I craze for alcohol, but just never understand why those boring music? And people dancing but not actually dancing. How often there is really cool dancer there? Body shakers maybe dozens, but dancer? Most of them just jumping around like zombies! And how do you actually communicate with your friends? You can't even be sure if your eardrums still intact! Can clubbing really a relaxing activity, when all is a elaborate masquerade? You clubber, tell me, when you are in club, do you unmasked or masked?

I also can't rationalize otaku. Hey, people are not born ugly, so why hide indoor you whole life and go you just for supply of comic, anime and games? You actually make the normal fan like us look bad. You have the uncanny ability to remember the technical detail of a Gundam robot and that is the only way you make use of your brain? You rather stay hope drooling over a model in bikini but never ever think of getting a real girl as friend? Why that fanatic? Comics are just like books, anime just motion picture. Why can they have the same level of interest like other media product, and you will have to degrade it but glorifying the culture of otaku? So, regardless how I like comics and anime, I will never be an otaku. I just don't understand why some choose to. It's disgusting!

So there above, some aspect or area of my life, where I am in there, but not exactly in there, I'm into it, but also not so into it. Aspect of life that surprisingly I'm in the middle, accept, but not too into.

But then, what kind of things that I am too into? With my current job, nothing!
