Some might say apocalypse in 2012 ?
November 18, 2009 at 1:28 am | In Copy & Paste, Ear Candy, Hiatus Notice, Random Touché | 1 CommentIt’s been a while I have not written my thoughts here. Maybe I was too occupied with my life (work, family, personal and others) vs. spending my time on the internet. Currently there is no big room for me to get a quality leisure time. I have stopped going consistently to the gym for a month since I travelled a lot for outstation works lately. I have a book to read but I can’t finish it within time because my brain has been focussing on work related things. My money has spent on unnecessary tuning on my car. So it leaves me just enough cash in the bank till next payday.
Looking back, some might say I have leading boring life with predictable outcome and I didn’t do brag-blogging which people usually do. Well, I don’t give damn on what “some might say”. Owh, “some might say” reminds me of the Oasis hits in the 90’s which still sounds fresh even now. I was listening to the track when I was writing this entry.

Title : Some Might Say
Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today cos they will sway over time
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Cos I’ve been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She’s got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it’s all elementary my friend
Some might say they don’t believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you’ve been given
If you don’t get yours I won’t get mine as well
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Cos I’ve been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she’s got dirty dishes on the brain
And my dog’s been itchin’
Itchin’ in the kitchen once again
Some might say
Some might say
Some might say
Some might say
p/s: This is probably the last update before I crawl back to my hiatus. I will write back when I have free time again.
Lucky Lembit and his meaty delight.

It seems having a healthy dose of Daily Mail everyday is better than reading the actual news on the frontpage lately. I have refrained from reading prime newspaper for a while simply because of the recent heavy and non-sense propaganda for the masses. Hence reading good tabloids shall keep me sane again and of course who wants to read shitty local tabloids such as this.
Anyway, I didn’t give a damn knowing any of British MPs but this piece of news is quite worthy to read. Rumours said MP Lembit Opik is currently dating one of Ultimo (previously Wonderbra) model Katie Green who is 23 years his junior. In fact Lembit is supporting her ‘Say No To Size Zero’ campaign to stop unhealthily thin models appearing on the catwalk. I wonder what potion he used to cling with Katie. It’s quite surprising if we were to compare the wealth between the Brits and some 3rd world politicians, I think the latter have chunkier pockets to shower around.
Are you bored and like to be silly?

Another usual hiatus hit my blog (See my non-existent entry for June). Finally, my escapade to cyberspace was approved and I’m posting this entry. Actually, I was about to write a proper malay entry but my proper malay isn’t at good level anymore compared during my school days which was over 10 years ago. Okay, I shall save that golden post later.
So, are you bored and like to be silly? Well, I stumbled upon a show called Bored in Bikinis which originated from our neighbour down south. It’s quite surprising that they actually produced this show although we have been perceived that most Singaporeans are known to be reserved and conservative except for their famous bloggers. Yeah, I was astonished as well after watching the clips and the first thing popped up in my mind was the Beavis and Butthead.
The similarities are obvious. There are 2 persons with same gender, living together and the episode starts when both them watching TV and start talking or doing non-sense. I don’t know if the producer of Bored in Bikinis is aware of the similarities or they actually took the concept and made their own version. I must say, the 4 minute clip is pleasing more men than the other gender and it’s quite silly to begin with as you watch 2 female in tiny clothing, talking and behaving like they were supposed not.
Nevertheless, I let you decide after watching the clips.
Sigh, One last thing from Josh Friedman

By now most of you have heard the news that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (T:SCC ) is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show’s life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.
And what an audience we found: passionate, intelligent, kind of nuts in a good way. My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren’t ten million of them. But I prefer to be happy for the ones we had instead of lamenting the ones we didn’t.
Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages. I miss Deadwood and The Wire and Arrested Development but thank God that I still have Rescue Me and The Office and a recently renewed Party Down written by ex-T:SCC writer John Enbom.
Bad shows are cancelled, too. And certainly there are those who did not like what we did and had their own vision for what a Terminator TV show should be. It’s easy to look at low ratings or cancellation as “failure” and for those who believe we’ve gone about this all wrong I’m sure today’s news will only serve to confirm a world view that I would never try to change. We’ve written the show as best we can, executed it to the best of our abilities, and sent it out in the world knowing that we worked out asses off to do something that wouldn’t be a waste of anybody’s forty-three minutes.
Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are. Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching.
Hope we do it again soon.

Too Hot to Handle

Hot, hot, hot till September!
By BEH YUEN HUI
KUALA LUMPUR: Temperatures have been rising all over the country, with Klang Valley (Subang) recording 35.6°C last Friday.
Outside the Klang Valley, Pahang (Batu Embun) experienced the hottest temperature last Thursday at 36.2°C.
The Meteorological Department said the hot and generally dry spell was expected to persist until September.
Department chief assistant director (central forecast office) Ahmad Zaki Mohamad Saad said the weather pattern was a usual phenomenon in the country.
He said that April and May were the hottest months according to climatology studies.
“The change of wind direction during the inter-monsoon season last month has caused the weather to be drier,’’ he said.
Ahmad Zaki said the country would experience the South-West monsoon from mid-May to September which usually brought a dry spell, he said.
He said although humid weather was forecast during the day, occasional rain and thunderstorms could be expected.
The maximum temperature is expected to range from 30.7°C to 34.1°C.

The music video is cute!
This is the first time I feel worth listening to Korean music. Thanks to Humming Urban Stereo who brought this song as I seldom fond of Korean music and culture, this is quite an eye opener.

Yeah Eric, you win!
It has been confirmed that the latest installment of Entourage will be aired in the mid of 2009 as excerpt in wikipedia says,
Oh, Takako can cook?
April 1, 2009 at 12:43 am | In Eye Candy, Women are from Venus, Zippy Update | 6 Comments
Takako Kitahara spun in my head again when I found her never seen before cooking video in youtube yesterday. Although she has retired from the scene last year, the internet seems disapproves her departure. From my observation she’s a bad cook maybe her talent is not suited there, besides cooking skills can be learnt, right?

Well, this is another Crichton’s sci-fi that I managed to finish rightly after ‘Next’. Something worth to read if you are into nanotechnology and as usual Crichton’s style is always putting a great disaster after a groundbreaking innovation in the history of mankind. Woops, no spoiler here. Anyway go read it yourself to know more.
p/s : Michael Crichton died unexpectedly of throat cancer on November 4, 2008 at the age of 66 (yes, he was smoker). To think that I finished his last book ‘Next’ few days before his death, yeah how mysterious.
The Girl Who Wanted to be God ?

Artiste : Manic Street Preachers
Title : The Girl Who Wanted to be God
There are no sunsets just silence
You could see that she was true and faithless
But see through the future and forget all the lies
Black out the words for the blind have eyes
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
There are times when you feel hopeless
Just for once for no-one else we are blameless
The dawn is still breaking its heaven is so high
She told the truth, told the truth and then she lied
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
Hold me she said love me to death
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I am the girl who wanted to be God
I pulled something random again, I love randomness, lol. The song was inspired from the title of chapter one in Anne Stevenson’s, ‘Bitter Fame: A life of Sylivia Plath’. Sylvia Plath is a poet (author of the Ariel poems) who explored holocaust imagery. She committed suicide on February 11th, 1963. Anyway, only now I just realised this song may intended as indirect sarcasm to this controversial poet. FYI my sister bought Manics album which included this song 11 years ago, yeah I know I’m such a slow-mo.
