After watching Inception, The Sorcerer's Apprentice seems...shallow. I can't believe someone actually clapped when the movie ended. I guess majority of Malaysians just love their movies served with bucket loads of action, CGI and explosion with a sprinkle of slapstick comedy. If you loved National Treasure, you'll dig ...

1) Oh! Not my kinda movie then. Wil save my $. How wud u rate the lovely bones then?
2) I commented: @roslyn: have not watched lovely bones la.

3) wah...what a movie review!

4) I just cringe whenever a movie features Cage. Since he keeps on appearing in 'tried and tested' movies in that mould... movies which appeals to the lowest common denominator.
5) hey, Inceptions' a main meal for me, dessert included - . i'll give it 9/10.



"A heart that's full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal. You look so tired-unhappy...with no alarms and no surprises" taken from Radiohead's No Surprises. Going through a renewed passion for all things Radiohead since my exposure to the haunting version of Creep in The Social Network trailer.


Make mental note: Don't quit my day job. There was once Jo and I decided to cook an ambitious dish of asam fish. We ate, washed up and left the house for 1 week. When we came back, I went, "Jo, what's in this pot?" Yes...the 1 week old unfinished maggot infested asam fish.

1) ew. Really disgusting! I hope u disinfect the pot if u intend to reuse it! Urgh
2) Yiii yak...

3) I commented: The pot didn't survive. Buang. I remember taking the pot out into the garden and opened the lid. I struggled to open it cause of the gas built up. When I finally opened it, the smell...well, let's just say 3 houses away can also smell.
4) wahlao... a whole week?? hahaha. got birds come and camp in your garden or not?
5) salute

6) Happened to my mum before and what she did was to turn the stove on again to boil the maggots so that it won't creep out. Then throw the whole pot away when it cooled down slightly. Ewwww
7) hey i remember that incident! I think i was the one who cooked it. Hahahaa!!! Tau makan aje....tak tau basuh....

In the lift today - Young Dude 1 said: Eh, sejuklah hari ini. Aircon giler sejuk. Dude 2 replied: Ya ke? To prove his point, Dude 1 held Dude 2 hands. Dude 2 exclaimed, "Eh, Sejuk giler!!"
3 comments:
1) maybe they were trying to hold yours too...
2) you should have gone like, "eeeee!!!! Jom pegang tangan!! sama sama kita sejuk giler..."
3) I commented: -.-



Does it matter if people say it's "Indian" colour?
7 comments:
1) What is that?!
2) Does not matter as long as u like it. Beauty lies in the eye of d beholder.

3) usually tease them tt they r insulting me and tell them its 1 malaysia! :)
4) I commented: Thanks for the reassurance friends. I painted one of my house's outside wall a supposedly "Indian" colour but both wifey and I likes it.
5) Purple?

6) I commented: @gerald: a darker shade of raspberry colour

7) Good job... Expected that it's about paint for d hse when u make that comment, coz I'm in d same situation.... Choosing colours for my hse n getting comments on d colour combination.

I have always struggled to understand when a woman says, "I hate it when men keep staring at me" and almost under the same breath, they also say, "When I was younger, men will stare at me but they no longer do." Guys, here's why. It depends on WHO the man is. NOW I understand!

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14

(Additional notes: The weekend thought me a lesson on Immortality on 2 different levels. 1st level came from Pastor Chris' sermon that this body of ours are like machines. One day, it will GUARANTEE to breakdown and stop working altogether during our life on earth. The other immortality lesson came from the movie In Good Company (Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson) - that at a stroke of a pen, we can be redundant in the corporate world.

So how then should we face these two immortality? Answer can be found in Psalm 90:12 = "Teach us to number our days aright,that we may gain a heart of wisdom". In other words, we are to be thankful and give our best DAILY. When trouble and sorrow come our way, we will be equipped to face it head on.)
