Updates 4 - 18 July: Paul, the Inception Octopus

July 4:
July already. Things can only get better in the second half.


July 5:
Overheard on orchard road: bloke #1 said to bloke #2: I don't consider myself an alcoholic-la. I just like to feel high every night.
2 comments:
1) i have got friends who say that everyday. Very familar sounding phrase
2) He is in denial, finding excuses hehehe



July 6:
At Changi now, felt it was like only yesterday that I was salivating at Swatch watches (dream to own one) at this airport in the 90s. Can't imagine I have worked for 10 years.

At klia, suddenly there's like 10 flights that landed. Immigration staff can't handle the numbers, longest queue I've seen at the counters. Have been waiting for my bag for 20 mins now but it's still not out yet. Make mental note: Do not get comfortable with Singapore's high level of efficiency, we are Malaysians, remember to re-laks la...

July 8:
Damn you, octopus! (Additional note: I was rooting for the young Germany team for FIFA World Cup 2010, but Paul the Octopus said....no)
2 Comments:

5) I commented: Damn you, octopus!

July 10:
World Cup, the world's most widely viewed sporting event, 70 years of glorious triumphs and epic disappointing moments, brought a 3-days cease fire in Africa's bloodiest civil war of 2 years and the 2010 FIFA World Cup champions will be decided by......a sotong?! Damn you, octopus!
10 comments:
1) The world kneels to a calamari!
2) technically sotong is a squid. kurita is octopus. and dun u just love the octopus. btw, my fren tinks ur kidnap theory was fascinating. needless to say, she germany fan.

3) KS...it's illuminati
4) I commented: @dr allan sia: someone's being a smart @$$...
5) Feed that octopus to the Africans!
6) aawww come on, its in the name of sports... hehe
7) find the sotong and end his life!!!

8) the poor sotong kurita...it's probably wondering how come certain periods in its life it's getting extra food...it doesn't even know it achieved stardom just by having a meal.
9) I commented: @Janice: Are u saying Paul is an accidental rock star cause he was just minding his own business?..... Damn you, octopus!

10) I mean...it's just being what a sotong should be....when hungry, eat!




I propose the Government should immediately set up a committee consisting of high-level senior officers to investigate the consequences of eating durian and mutton at the same time.
6 comments:
1) Shouldn't be a problem.. They're quite good at these stuff. They may have to outsource it to some food scientist and use a big budget on it but yup, try and see!
2) I commented: Don't forget the very necessary lawatan sambil belajar to London before they embark the investigation full on.
3) Yup sure can selesai your query! But have to wait a while lah.. Especially since the month of major lull is coming soon.. Followed by the well deserved festivities.. Better just abstain first lah... Haha..
4) apa jadi nih?
5) I commented: @Jan: follow this link: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2010%2F7%2F9%2Fnation%2F6635584&sec=nation
6) that's amazing discovery! Mutton + Durian = bad chemistry! Yes, not only a committee to conduct an in depth study on this, but Durian + other local foods too. Who knows, it could be great information for tourists.



July 12:
The octopus is a cephalopod mollusk in the order Octopoda. Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms, and like other cephalopods they are bilaterally symmetric. Most octopuses have no internal or external skeleton, allowing them to squeeze through tight places. Octopuses are highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent of all invertebrates.

Goal setting is important. Goal doing is more important.
2 comments:
1) Goal scoring is the way
2) I commented: @YTL: LOL...how true! But sotong spoil market.



July 14:
Finally watched Karate Kid. It was surprisingly engaging and wholesome entertainment. Jaden was completely believable, both his acting and kung fu skills (compared to the wooden keanu in the matrix). And I love Jackie here, not overacting and potrayed a convincing father figure. I give it 7 out of 10.
5 comments:
1) Yeah! U sure summed it up nicely. Totally agree!
2) Yes it was one of the surprise hits of the summer. The boys found it a bit violent and Cam cried when the bad kids beat up Jayden.

3) I commented: @grace: yeah, the overall treatment is quite dark and intense compared to the original. I suppose they did so to reflect today's time and age cause if they had used the same 'template' it would end up being cheesy.
4) his finishing move is better than the original.
5) yeah, cobra cooler than crane



July 15:
I can't believe Christopher Nolan actually pulled it off with Inception. I won't say it's entertaining but it provokes the mind. The 2.5 hours movie drags you deep into the rabbit hole. I give it a 10/10.
3 comments:
1) your fb page is an alternative to rotten tomato. haha. great. i am watching it tonight. :)
2) if you say 10/10 definitely have to go see.

3) I commented: Be warned guys. It's not your usual summer bam wham kapow flick.

I can't hold on any longer. I have to put a stop to this. Now.

Do you need to go to the toilet?


July 16:
All my life I’ve been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies, but I’m getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
(Additional note: The last few weeks have been really tough. Can't put a finger to what I'm going through until I read Timothy's entry. Thanks Tim for the timely entry!)
