50th Merdeka... Is there anything left to celebrate anymore?

Crime rates..... Prosecution and detainment of bloggers..... Demonizing a local born music genius for expressing his views..... fledging economy.... racial segregation is at its peak and the powers that be seems more interested to keep it that way instead of uniting us....

Even when our athletes are competing in international tournaments I find myself hoping that they will lose so that they can free themselves from being yet another photo-op for some attention whoring politicians... or worse helping the ruling parties in their campaigns. Even National Day is nothing but a sorry excuse for ministers to place their face on banners in public places.

There is truly nothing left for us Malaysians to celebrate anymore come this National Day....

Sandiwara in the making Part 2

God bless MCA for two great plays that they had produced for specially for us Malaysian Chinese over the past few weeks. Just when I thought that only Yasmin Ahmad is the only capable film maker in this country, MCA have to just come along and prove me wrong. To those who had missed it, here's a recap on two of these two great films produced by MCA:

Namewee

Starring: Doctor Chua, Various Ministers, with cameo appearance by Namewee

This is perhaps one of the best film I had seen this year. The story all started out about a little boy who is so unsatisfied with what is going on and decided to express his feelings through his talents which happens to be music. It became an instant hit overnight with critics praising him and he gain many fans. All seem to go well for this boy until the villain of the story which starred various ministers decided to go into overkill by suing his ass off for a rule which will be custom made later just for him.

Just when all hope seems lost for this little boy, a superhero doctor by the name of Dr. Chua decided to come in and save the day acting as a mobile condom and shielding him from the deadly Seditious Act virus that he is prone to get. Credit goes to Dr Chua for his awesome acting skills for making this play a success. Not many actors can act out this role with such drama and not laughing at how freakin' silly it is at the same time. Currently this play is still playing in all your local papers nearly on a daily basis. So do catch it if you had missed the first few episodes.

Overall Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5



Where's the Translation? (A Malaysian sequel to the movie Lost in Translation)

Starring: Datuk Liow with cameo appearance by The Son-In-Law®

In perhaps one of the best play that had ever been produced by any local production companies, Where's the Translation is perhaps one of the best ever. It all started out slowly in a simple yet touching scene about a man giving a speech to the people. Just when you think this is what this play is over, WHAM! it hit you like a speeding train with its moving climax with Datuk Liow giving a fiery speech while holding a book directing at everybody's favourite Son-In-Law® while he was watching. The play ended with The Son-In-Law® saying that he don't understand what Datuk Liow is saying as his fiery speech was in another language which leaves the audience roaring with laughter.

Overall rating: 5 stars out of 5. The transition from a serious flick into a full blown comedy is flawless. It really takes someone way above the likes of Stephen Chow to do it. Kudos MCA!


Thank you MCA for these entertainment to turn us away from our countries grave problems. After all we the people do need to take our minds off the soaring crime rates and many other problems eating up our country.

Government nothing better to do?

You know our country is going to hell when the Cabinet is not discussing about the rising crime rates, the not-so-feel-good economy, racism or the rotting education system but about a Youtube video which is about a guy singing our national anthem in a much different way then it is suppose to?

Our country is rotting right in front of our eyes and all these Ministers are talking about Youtube and a guy who is expressing his frustration with his great talents? I am not trying to be rude here my dear Yang Berhormat's, Datuk's, Tan Sri's or any other God-knows-what title you gave yourself just to make your penis sounds longer, for God's sake-or-what-ever-you-believe-in please do your job and stop discussing meaningless shit in your cabinet meetings? Well even if you do want to continue to discuss shit in your meetings PLEASE DON'T PUBLICIZE IT IN YOUR NEWSPAPERS and insult our intelligence.

Do you guys even care about the crime rates? Do you guys even care whether the rakyat suffer due to the ever increasing inflation rates in our daily necessities? Had you ever wondered why Malaysians always seek to migrate whenever they had a chance?

Now if you'll excuse me, I will be looking at the World map.....

In Loving Memory....

Time flies and it had been one year since you left. To a friend that I loved but neglected when he is still alive, a friend that lend a helping hand when I am in need, a friend whom I will forever remember in heart.... May you find never ending happiness wherever you are and may you find peace there.



Goodbye again my dear friend, and yes I still miss you and I guess a lot of us still do. Til' we meet again.

Sandiwara in the making?

I don't know about you but this scene seems awfully familiar. Boss goes out of town, his managers says something awfully unpopular, the managers' lackeys then push lowly employees here and there in the meantime, boss returns and says something popular, media praises boss for being an uber genius and swept everything under the rug and everything just goes happily ever after and the rakyat will still continue to vote the same way they vote for the past 50 years. Rinse and repeat.

I don't know about you but it seems that step 1, 2 and 3 had been implemented already so far and now all we need to do is wait til' the boss returns to execute the last 2 steps.

This my friends is playing to the gallery at the highest level that no keris wielding man or attention whoring son-in-laws can ever match.

UPDATE: Seems like I am right after all. Mr. Number 1 came back from his holiday and declare this country a "not secular nor Islamic state". Wow... why didn't I think of that?

Disturbing

I find this line in the newspaper today very shocking and disturbing.

" “They are the only aircraft available to carry out operations. We can’t stop using them. We pray that such accidents will not happen again


So right now the only solution to prevent such crashes in the future is to... just pray? Imagine the next time a Nuri crash again don't be surprised if Najib says this:

"We had tried our best to pray but unfortunately it just happens."

Some Updates ^_^

Alright in case any of you are wondering where on earth I had been since I am no where to be found inside or around MMU and even my lack of online presence... I am still pretty much alive ^_^. For most of you had known that I will not graduate (unfortunately) until the end of this year due to two freakin' subjects, I am back in my hometown where the next GTA game will be based on.... Johor Bahru :-P working part time as a remisier's a.k.a stock broker's assistant in... where else... a stock broking firm.

In case you go "WTFZOMGBBQ?" on me and ask how on earth an IT-two-subjects-to-become-a-fresh-grad is working as a remisier's assistant, well simply because that remisier who employed me is my cousin. Well if you are wondering if an IT student can survive in an all-business-no-internet environment, honestly speaking... yes but with lots of screw-ups. You know stuff like mistaking sell for buy and never remind a client that he oversold his shares and stuff like that. But hey, I am thankful my cousin is very patient with me and taught me very well so that I won't screw up....much.

If you are asking me about my pay, well its not much. But hey, the things I learn there beat the hell out of industrial training where I worked like a donkey and learn shit. At least I learn lots of stuffs that most Business students don't even know they exists.

So yeah, I am currently quite happy with my life right now. Nice job, friends are all back in this cowboy town again, Hollywood's summer offering doesn't suck anymore and most importantly I lost some weight ^_^.

Four Days...

Four days is all we had left before I say goodbye to most of my friends and housemates as they will move on to their next phase of life while I am still stuck here.

Four days, is all we had left in our fate will reach its final destination as we make a transit in the next station of life as I remain on this very train.

Four days, is all we had left to laugh, shout and whine before we might not have the chance to do it again.

Four days, is all we had left before we wish that we can relive our University days.

Goodbye to all my close friends. Goodbye Yu Xin. Goodbye Melvin. As together we form the "Steel Triangle". Goodbye Cow Cow (Liang Peng) as I will miss our arguments over politics and your bragging ;). Goodbye Kenneth and may we meet in Azeroth once you graduated. Goodbye KK as I will miss your humourous banters and your carefree attitude towards life. Goodbye Cuin Hao, our only "female" housemate. Goodbye to Ice, one of my best friend in MMU ever since Alpha, don't always say I forget about you haha. Goodbye to everyone that had cross paths with me and will be graduating this year.

Goodbye and thanks for all the memories. May all of you have a nice journey on the next train of life. God Bless.

P.S: To those who don't know, I still have one more trimester to go before I officially graduate which unfortunately falls on the 3 trimester. So you guys should be able to see me then ;)

OMFG~ IT'S FINALLY OFFICIAL!!!!

Starcraft 2 IS OFFICIAL BABEH~~~~ OMFG it's been like... almost a freaking decade since they left this great universe they had created. After scrapping the console-only third person action game Ghost just a few months before its release date had a lot of fans guessing is Starcraft 2 in the horizon? I mean Blizzard did cancel their adventure click-em' up Warcraft Adventures and went straight to Warcraft 3. Fuck all that, it's now finally official! The sequel to the legendary myth-like game Starcraft is finally announced!

In a very typical Blizzard fashion, there is NO release date (talk about hyping the crowd eh?). I am guessing a 2008 release date to coincide with it's 10th anniversary.

It's normal for MPs...

And so the great Nazri said:

“The two MPS were not giving speeches in the House, in which they can be accountable if their speech text had the offending words.

“I’m sure they didn’t have an agenda against Fong.

“But if they had offended women in general, that is another matter altogether. Then it’s up to them to apologise to women in general,” he added.

Nazri said it was unfortunate that the press had played up the incident, adding that it was part and parcel of parliamentary debates, and parliamentarians should not be easily offended by the heckling between one another.

Such unguarded outbursts always happen during debates and unfortunately the press had played up the issue, he said. -Source-


So you are telling me MPs (both from ruling party and opposition alike) insulting each other and acting as if they never even graduate from primary school is part and parcel of a "normal" parliamentary debate? You are telling me that any angry MP can just say something sexists and to a certain degree, sexually harrass, the other MP is normal? Didn't that Fong guy just said that bosses will be fine if they fail to take action to sexual harassment allegations? I see double standards here?

If you say insulting MPs during debates are normal, Mr. Nazri sir, then fuck Vision 2020 and set our vision to Vision 20,200BC where we can beat and insult each other like cavemen. Heck, you can accelerate this vision by canceling off a need for a Parliament, since a whole lot of us Malaysians don't even know shit about the essence of democracy and support Political Parties just like how we support their favourite EPL football teams, might as well turn this into an authoritarian state. So abolish democracy I say, if we can't become first World by 2020 let's be First World (from the bottom up) by then!

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Yeah... so they apologise... so?

So those two motherless monkeys finally apologise. So? Its not they are even strip of their MP rights or anything. Heck, given Malaysians poor memory I say this issue will be swept under the rug and people will forget all about it in another 2 weeks max.

Heck, given our fucked up memories I don't even think they will get voted out if they were to contest their seats in the coming GE. Maybe Malaysians do deserve motherless monkeys to represent us after all.

Najib to be fine then?

Hmmm... it is said here that employers will face up to RM10k fine if they fail to investigate complaints on sexual harassment. So does that mean that Najib, as the BN Whip need to be fine since he fail to even "try" to investigate complaints against his MPs regarding the "bocor" comments?

IMHO, such comments are consider as a form of sexual harassment whether it is consider as a joke or otherwise. So Datuk Fong, you dare to fine your boss?

Saturday, May 12, 2007

Wow, nice solution folks~

You just gotta love the way we do things you know. We have here a woman who faces deportation along with her child just because she was illegally adopted when she was young.

So now tell me, you have a woman here who was illegally adopted from another country and now she's going to pay for a mistake she had never make? You are telling me this woman here is guilty for getting adopted? So what is the immigration officials trying to prove? That we are a bunch of sadistic freaks that love to see a woman and child getting deported to a place they don't even know? If its about sending a message to tell people not to illegally adopt children, then punish the people who adopted her instead.

Bad times for Malaysian females?

Its sad to see how our Malaysian society seems to crumble in front of our eyes every passing day. Just try to open the newspapers and the chances of coming upon a sex related crime is very high. In The Star alone there seems to be a total of 6 cases in four days alone. These cases are just reported ones... I just can't bring myself to think about the actual unreported figures. Are the police too busy tending to shutting down opposition ceramah's that they had forgotten their duty? Is Pak Lah as the Minister of Internal Security taking notice?

Here's a compiled list of sex-related crimes during the past week. Feel free to add if I miss out anything.

  • Admin assistant charged with seven sexual offences

  • Nearly raped at her college

  • Teen alleges first date rape

  • 15-year-old raped by odd-job worker

  • Cops to question veteran singer

  • Counsellor molested me, alleges student

  • Thank you Ijok!

    Thank you Ijok for sending the correct message to the BN! Thank you for telling them how much we love them. How we are all S&M freaks who love to be intimidated by violence. How we are willing to exchange our votes with our own money (hey, its taxpayers' money afterall).

    Thank you for showing the BN how much we trust them. Thank you for telling them that we believe only the BN can bring development to this country. Thank you for telling them that Malaysians love Mat Rempits.

    Thank you Ijokians. You guys totally made the right choice yesterday.

    Who wants to be a good MP?

    Tired of being a puppet of our party? Tired of getting totally no developments for your constituency because your boss don't take you seriously? Well don't despair! If you are a people's MP and want what is good for your people yours truly had the perfect solution for you

    Try killing yourself today!!!!! **

    We see it in Machap and we see it again in Ijok, a dead MP is a good MP. So if you really want to bring development to your constituency with zero red tape ending your life is the perfect way to go.

    So what are you waiting for YBs? Try it now and don't hesistate!


    **Only applicable to MPs from a ruling party with more than 90% majority.

    Open Letter to Record Frenzy Blog Owner(s)

    Dear Records Frenzy Blog Owners,

    First and foremost I would like to say that I can't stop agreeing with you guys on these record-breaking "frenzy" that's been plaguing some MMU students' organization. But the real motive behind my open letter is to give a friendly advice to you which is NEVER EVER REVEAL YOUR IDENTITIES PLEASE. Unless of course, you guys want to experience a few months of hell that I had personally experience if not, then its wise to keep your identities as secretive as Peter Parker kept his.

    I also suggest that you guys lay low for a while as one wrong move might reveal all your identities. With that I am going to wish you guys good luck and don't get caught. You guys are doing a the right thing by bringing awareness to both the students and staff despite your ways of implementation is a bit extreme.

    Yours sincerely,
    Justin

    Wrestlemania 23 Thoughts and Reviews

    Yeah I know, Wrestlemania 23 was shown like almost 2 weeks ago but hey, blame it on my low bandwidth.

    WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW


    Opening Match - Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Mr. Kennedy v Randy Orton v Matt Hardy v Jeff Hardy v Finlay v Edge v CM Punk v King Booker

    A solid match with Mr. Kennedy coming on top which is much to my delight because I kinda love Mr. Kennedy's gimmick. A bit like The Rock's but with a few personalized touch here and there. The match is none other then a spot fest with some major bumps here and there. The highlight of the match is when Jeff Hardy puts Edge through the ladder. The bump itself is very unnecessary IMHO because it serves nothing but to shorten Jeff's career (or whatever that is still left in him).

    Match Rating: 8 out of 10 stars


    2md Match - The Great Khali v Kane

    This match is nothing but a bore fest. I would rather see two polar bears fighting each other than to watch this match. Good thing is, this match is short. Note to the bookers of WWE: Next time if you want to book a "battle of the giants" match, put them in a sumo match.

    Match Rating: 0.5 out of 10 (the 0.5 is because the kept the match short)


    3rd Match - US Championship: Chris Benoit v MVP

    I am kinda surprise at how technical MVP can go. It is as though Chris Benoit had given him a wrestling class before their match up. Kinda solid but short. It would deserve more stars if it were any longer. Match ends with Benoit nailing MVP with the diving headbutt.

    Match Rating: 7.5 out of 10 (could be better if they would just give this two more time by canceling of the previous match)


    4th Match - World Heavyweight Championship: Batista v Undertaker

    This is ridiculous, the entrance is nearly the length of the match itself. The match according to wrestling sites is clocked at 15 minutes and 47 seconds. Given the amount of time the Undertaker takes to crawl into the ring I say it is about 6 to 8 minutes. Given that this match is consider one half of the main-event, it should be around 20 to 30 minutes at least. There's so little to build up in this match given just 16 minutes. At least these two men had did quite a job to make full use of the 16 minutes allocated to them. Lots of false finishes but in the end the Undertaker nailed a victory with a tombstone piledriver on Batista. Seriously, does the Undertaker need another victory in Wrestlemania? He had already won all 14 of his previous Wrestlemanias already. Wouldn't it be nice if the bookers would just push Batista even higher by ending the Deadman's 14-0 streak? Or does Vince McMahon wants to rewards his most loyal employee by giving him an undefeated winning streak in Wrestlemania until the day he retires? Hmmm...

    Match Rating: 7 out of 10 (this is a main even dammit, why is it only 16 minutes long?)


    5th Match: ECW Originals v ECW New Breed

    This match is uber short. Maybe the only reason why they decide to place this one on the cards is to finally give the ECW Originals (Sandman, Dreamer, Sabu and RVD) excluding RVD, a chance to shine in the grandest stage in professional wrestling. Match is over very quickly with Sandman and Dreamer doing mostly nothing. Sabu had some screentime but heck, it does no justice to this great risk taker. The Originals win after RVD hit a frogsplash on Matt Striker.

    Match Rating: Too short to even rate.


    Battle of the Billionaires: Umaga on the side of Vince McMahon v Bobby Lashley on the side of Donald Trump (If Umaga lost McMahon gets his hair shaved and vice versa)

    An entertaining match with zero wrestling involve maybe a part of it is due to people wanting to see either billionaire getting their head shave off. Most of the entertaining parts come from none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin who serves as the special guest referee of that match. After getting bashed by Umaga a couple of times, a pissed rattlesnake hit a Stone Cold stunner on the Samoan before getting speared by Lashley and thereby winning the match. The "head shaving ceremony" is funny largely due to McMahon's over selling. Still I really wish Donald Trump loses and got his head shaved instead. I mean c'mon, that ugly combover of his simply got to go.


    WWE Championship: John Cena v Shawn Michaels

    A very lengthy entrance with Michaels coming out with the DX theme. I was hoping he would come out to his original Heartbreak Kid theme because seeing him dance to the DX theme looks kinda.... stupid. Cena's entrance is even worse, with a nicely editted video of him "drifting" on the streets of Detroit before crashing into the arena. Well this confirms my theory that if Cena is a wrestler here, his gimmick would be none other than a Mat Rempit's. The match is not bad. It is build up nicely which is carried by Michaels. Lots of in-ring psychology is involved and it ended nicely with a great counter-frenzy finish. With Cena and Michaels both countering each other's finishers and just before you think Michaels finally escaped the FU, he got locked on the STFU in the middle of the ring and which he is force to tap. I seriously wished that Michaels would had won this match instead. That would be like a fairy tale ending for Wrestlemania. I mean can't the let a guy who had not held any gold for 9 years hold it one last time before losing the title on Backlash? Cena had accomplished nearly everything in his career and by letting him win proves nothing in his already shiny resume.

    Match Rating: 8 out of 10

    Overall this Wrestlemania is ok. Not the best definitely but still, it is quite entertaining.

    Overall Rating: 7 out of 10

    Bloggers Registration Act (BRA)??

    Ah... much had happened lately when I was away busy with my life. First we had some deputy "ass licking" minister who is trying to please his master by saying that Bloggers should register. Then Mr. Bloggersbane echoed the same shit.

    Seriously, these people must had read to much comics lately. Are they such big fans of Marvel's latest crossover event Civil War that tells the tale of a certain Superheroes' Registration Act where all superheroes are forces to register and reveal their identities? Or maybe they are a big fan of Alan Moore's classic Watchmen that they want to reenact the Keene Act (which bans unregistered "costumed adventurers") onto the bloggers?

    I mean I had had it with all this labeling of us being liars and rumormongers. How these people want to decide for us what we think, what we read and how we dress or even how much money we make. Look if Malaysia is a fascist state or even a communist state I would understand. BUT WE ARE A FREAKIN' DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! Democracy means freedom. Democracy means WE the PEOPLE decides what is BEST for the country. Democracy means that WE the PEOPLE decides who WE CHOOSE to represent them. Democracy means WE can think for ourselves.

    So maybe the 90+% majority the PEOPLE had given to the BN had inflated their egos so big that they forgotten is their real boss that voted them or who decides for them. So Mr. Blogsbane and Mr. Shaziman (which his name coincidentally sounded like a superhero wannabe) please be reminded that it is us to decide for you and not the other way round.

    By the way, can I sue all these people for "defaming" me on the mainstream press? So check out this funny piece about this issue by Fazri which pays a little tribute to the movie 300.
