27th of September, featuring Shayne Ward, The DEY and Until June as well as DJ Tom Price. Thanks to Michael Yip i got a photographer pass. This was a much smaller event compare to Hennessy Artistry@Bukit Kiara, but still tremendously happening and fun. Any events with Alcohol+music+girls seldom go wrong. =P
Reach there around 8.15pm, the crowd aready was slowing building up. Pamela Chong of Amazing Race Asia fame was the host that night, pumping up the atomosphere.
Thanks to Julian, i end up quite drunk after the event. He brought me up to the VIP area and his crib was very convenient with the bar just next to it, free flow of Hennessy. He also introduce me to quite alot of model and celebrity. Thanks bro. haha..it was cool.

PasarSeniwishing things was different, hoping things will work out it the end.
That what i remember about my High School Sejarah, Akta ISA digunakan untuk menahan komunis(or something along that line) Kenapa digunakan sekarang? Answer is to suppress opposition and freedom of speech.
The Internal Security Act 1960 (ISA) is a preventive detention law in force in Malaysia. Any person may be detained by the police for up to 60 days without trial for an act which allegedly prejudices the security of the country or any part thereof. After 60 days, one may be further detained for a period of two years each, to be approved by the Minister of Home Affairs, thus making indefinite detention without trial. -Gerak
Introduced in 1960, the ISA was drafted at a time when the nation was emerging from the Emergency. The government was winding up the Emergency but there were still some communist activities. The Act was created at a time in Malayan history when the judicial process was deemed incapable of prosecuting communists suspected of violence because people were afraid to give evidence for fear of their lives. Correct correct correct...
Now? the government is using it to ''protect'', detain people that have police reports lodge against them, people that protest for their own right as a Malaysian, and even telling the truth to expose sins of the government. What an Act rite? so many uses, so convenient for the goverment to detain anyone for the vague crime of "threatening national security".
First was the Hindraf 5 which was label a terrorist at first, then the Chinese reporter for reporting the truth and detain for her own ''safety'', Teresa Kok MP of Seputeh for stoking religious tensions, Raja Petra for being a Hero, and a blogger for proposing to fly the Malaysian Flag upside down.
Is all this people a threat to the security Malaysia? A threat to whose security, exactly who?
Now Raja Petra is detained at Kamunting for 2 year for exposing corruptions. The Government was satisfied there were "strong grounds" for him to be further detained. If it is so strong, what is stopping the government from charging Raja Petra in court?
Remember Ahmad Ismail
? He was stoking racial tension, with his chinese ''squatter'' remarks. What happen to him? Nothing much actually just some banned being an UMNO member, he still get to go shopping during Malaysia Year End Sales and still get to eat good food at Gurney Road. Raja Petra? stuck at Kamunting, can he even order MCd delivery?? Why wasn't Ahmad Ismail
detain under ISA? MCA and Gerakan was complaing about him, who was complaining about Teresa Kok?
What can i say now is you can imprison a person but not their ideas or what they stand for.
Stay strong ISA detainees.
26 Setempber, nothing happen yet to the present goverment. Crossovers elek. You know what i think, i think all the MPs that are planning to crossover, just step down now and not wait for Mr. Anwar. But being a BN member of parliament i think they wont want to lose thier benefits and also retirement benefit, so i guess this won't happen.
There can be no reform or justice until the ISA is dump into an incinerator.
Arghhhh...I'm so angry now, that if i had Gamma Radiation. We so going to have a Smashin good time.
peace.
in God's time.
refuel.another deadline pass...
debates, talks, reports, arguments and more controversy. Amidst all this hyped, possibility of defections by BN members of Parliament to the other side remains a possibility.
I am kinda against the takeover, in this form I mean. The crossovers is not the most ideal way to for a new government. Its unethical, i know you would argue that the present BN government is lagi unethical, with their racial politics, democratic abuses and corruptions. But the Pakatan Rakyat suppose to bring in a "wind of change", A new Dawn for Malaysia, A better Malaysia for all Malaysian.
The reason to crossover is right and good, the way is wrong and bad. The ideal way, in my opinion is that the MPs that wants to crossover step down and stand for a by-election. Let the people choose again. They were elected MPs when the were under the BN banner, and people voted for them meaning they also voted for BN(some). So to crossover now to Pakatan would be unprofessional and disloyal to the people that voted for them.
Crossovers it may happen, or it may not. But if it does, please find the ideal way. For me the reform must come, the goverment must be change. Our Prime Minister is a good man and a good prime minister but if the people around him is... Shits happens.
Anyway why is Pakatan in such a hurry? Is it so easy to manage and run a country? The only person with experience in my opinion is Mr.Anwar himself. If they get to form the new government, what about all the shits that the current government left over. Who's going to be responsible? Whatever it is, just pray for God's wisdom. Let it be God's will.
Power to the People. =P

SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
I guess William Shakespeare wasn't bluffing, with the last line.
Was at KLPac for the opening night for Christopher Ling, Love & Beauty - The Sonnets of William Shakespeare.
The play is based on their own interpretation of 21 different sonnets i think.
One man considers the merits of love and beauty in the course of one night. Sometimes whimsical and funny, at other times poignant and sad, Love & Beauty presents the timeless sonnets of William Shakespeare in a heady mix of musings, music and multimedia. -The Curious Residency.
For me the play was only okie, The funny wasn't funny enough, the witty wasn't witty enough, the sad also wasn't sad enough. The characters was kinda weak, did not really show. Or maybe cause i don't understand. But the way the play was done was really cool though, something new to me. With a multi-sensory performances, Text on screen, Video, Music, Dancing and the the acting. It was sure a complex and cool play. Could have be better, but i would still recommend everyone to watch it.
In Malaysia, Home and Culture Ministries to formulate RACE RELATIONS ACT, a law to unite us all. For What? I didn't know we had a problem, or maybe I'm ignorant. I know we may have different color skin but we still breath in the same haze prone air, drink the same brownish water, use the same pothole ridden road, and of cause bleed the same red color blood... I think the Act will only remind people of differences. What with tolerance anyway? everyone is asking us to tolerate each other, why can't we just accept each and everyone as a unique being. why?
Its take 14 days notice to organize an emergency Parliament meeting. For What? dont they understand the meaning of EMERGENCY?
to die is to live. to live is to ə٨٥٦...meaning to ə٨٥٦ is to die?
now the question is To love or Not to love?
drive through the jungle anyone?
September 17, nothing happen yet. Mr. Anwar, I understand the delay, but there are people you need to freed.
Don't be like the current Government. talk so much, much more disappointments. The best thing they did so far in my opinion is lowering the fuel subsidy. I guess you would be like what the hell. why?
My reasoning are:
1. Most Malaysian are good at wasting stuff. exp. food, money, water, electricity... Now with the cost-of-living has risen by let says 30%+, Reality has smack us, hard. We now save.
2. More Malaysian using the efficient public transport or car pooling. Meaning? Less traffic, less pollution.
3. The government got more financial power to help the needy and develop the country, of cause if the money save don't go into corruption.
4. Fuel being a non renewable energy, saving it for future generation. would be nice.
But with the lower subsidy. The government need to make sure the public transport is efficient, take our nearest neighbor Singapore as an example. In Singapore you can get anywhere on-time with a public transport. The needy need to paid more, or something. Maybe the rich people driving super big car, be tax more and the money pass to the poor. Just my humble opinion. Me not economist.
Unrelated to Malaysia, People remember to talk is cheap...so don't make empty promises. It hurts. Also talking constantly, isn't necessarily communicating...
i'm so use to hear your promises, that never come to pass. =(
Most probably you know about it d from reading the news or overheard someone talking about it... Anyway...
The police have arrested an opposition politician(DAP leader Teresa Kok), a prominent blogger(Raja Petra Kamaruddin) and a journalist from Sin Chew, according to officials and reports, in a sudden crackdown as the opposition plots to seize power.
“This is the start of a major crackdown. We are seeing Abdullah flexing his
muscle to show he can be a strong leader,” said James Chin, a political science
professor at Monash university in Malaysia.
Lim Guan Eng, secretary-general of the another opposition party, the Democratic Action Party, called the arrests “a travesty of justice.”
“It's a desperate act to cling on to power,” said Lim.
Cut and paste from the internet mostly from Malaysia Today yesterday. So What happening Mr. Prime Minister or Mr. Deputy?
the show was release 2007. so what gives?
Dr. Loomis: Well, actually, black isn't a color, is it? It's the absence of color. In the spectrum of colors, you go from black, which is no color, all the way through to white, which is every color. So, technically... not that it really matters - but black isn't a color.
Yesterday was also officially the end of my semester. I pass up my Internship final report to university.

Random thoughts.
I use to think that it would be impossible to love anyone else other than her. But I guess there are limit of how much pain and hurt a person can take. For people that are patiently waiting, stop soon. It takes 2 hands to clap, it takes 2 to tango... There is no point waiting if the other person don't want to. Find someone that wants to, and make sure both party enjoy clapping and tangoing. Don't go find some substitute or some rebound person, cause clapping any other part of your body is not clapping anymore, it's hitting yourself.
If you insist of waiting then please do wait. Look back what went wrong the first time, make sure you do something about it and at the same time be a better person. Getting help from her/his friends are good ways to change her mind too. Make sure you can accept the fact that the other person may have move on or worse in a new relationship. Don't be a dog, like begging and getting into self pity, the other person is looking for a relationship not a pet.
Just remember ''impossible is nothing'' but don't be stupid and hurt yourself. Give yourself or someone else a chance. Sunshine might shine brighter and warmer the next time.
this is just a opinion of a guy, that is me. so wrong i can be. your thoughts?
I should really be doing my final report.
Memories is a way of holding on to the things you love and the things you never want to lose.
it's crazy cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
is anyone guess.
movie poster
Just watch the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), A dark comedy for anyone with a past they would rather forget. Its a sort of science fiction romance story that explore the element of love and memory. The story take you on a journey with a couple trying to get their failed relationship memory erase.
Its also based on the following quote from an Alexander Pope poem:
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
the full poem here. i don't understand the poem, but you could try reading it and explain it to me.
A thought provoking movie. Just watch it.
What i got from the movie other then the post title?
Our memories are what make us who we are.
You can't change the past, but you can change the future.
You can erase someone from your mind, getting them out of your heart is another story.
Thanks for passing the movie to me xuxu.
Now to start my stupid final report for my awesome internship...
would you erase me? (not asking you cause that's the only thing you remember "忘记了")

Today is the end of my internship officially, cause i will still be going back there next week to finish some stuff. Now its time to get some rest, after that slog it out and churn out a 20+ page final report, to show the university the work i done and what i have learn from the internship. Its kinda stupid the way the uni is evaluating the internship, its 60% for final report and 40% evaluation by your bosses. Meaning if you darn good at crapping in your final report, you most probably still can get really good marks even if you suck at work.
I'm really really going to miss the place, the people there are simply amazing to work and hang out with. They treat work really seriously and the same goes with play...hehe. This short and sweet journey in Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia have taught me so much about advertising and also working life. I have grown and matured so much there. Can never thank them enough for this great oppurnity to intern there. Memory i will cherish forever. Lesson i will remember forever. My lovemark is Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia.
They carry their bags to school, back home, and then to school again. Heavier and heavier, until it becomes too heavy to move.
8 Ways to Lighten the School Bag, part 2 of The Curious Residency at KLPac. Part 1 was After Ours by the way. Was there today,as usual great script, excellent directing and awesome acting. The play take a humourous look at our beloved country and it's education system.
The story starts with parents and teachers meeting up to dicuss about a fight in school between thier childrens, Brana, Shirin and Kelvin. It take you through a investigation as they uncover details of why the fight happpened. Bringing you through Moral lesson/Ugama class, History, Pedidikan Jasmani, Chemistry , English literature and so on...to discover why...

HP logo redesign.
Doesnt it look like something like the Superhero cartoon "The Incredibles"? The HP now has some funky glowing bevel to it, really superhero like. For me it dont look like a computer brand anymore, look like some icon you seen on a MAC. Prefer the well recognized previous logo anytime.
Your thoughts?
a girl like you is impossible to find...
My beloved country Malaysia recently turn 51 on 31 August or going to turn 43 on 16 September. It depends on who you want to listen to. This year's 51st Independence Day theme is "Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan" which translate into "Unity is the core of success".
We as a Malaysian should know about our country, so read this...CIA Factbook on Malaysia. lolx... For some irony of Malaysian, check out Kennysia blog on What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian.
I want to go get a discount card for life...
Posting from a far away place called Sungai Long@Norman's place. Actually its not that far, it just seems that way. Went to Cathay@Curve to catch a midnight movie yesterday, Babylon A.D. Was to tired to drive back, so me here crashing using his laptop while he sleeping behind me.
this contains movie spoilers.
Aurora: Are you a killer, Mr. Toorop?
Toorop: Yes. Now please, get into the car.
In this post-apocalyptic thriller, Toorop (Vin Diesel) is a mercenary who is hired by a fat Russian to escort a woman named Aurora(Melaine Thierry) while Sister Rebeka(Michelle Yeoh) Aurora ''mom'' tag along from Central Asia to New York City. While he thinks this is just an ordinary mission, he gradually finds out that Aurora is more than she appears, and is carrying something that have the potential to become the next Messiahs for some weird religion name Neolite who wants to be the dominate religion. And everyone else wants to get a hold on her to. Along the way, action ensues with some really amazing stunts and gun battles.
Overall this is a pretty good movie and is definitely worth seeing for the action scenes. I really like how the Director portrays the future. If you been hearing that the ending is horrible, its abit of an anti-climax with such a great beginning...but don't worry it's decent at worst compare to a lot of other Movies out there now.
you opened up my eyes,
you stole my heart,
i tried to be chill but you're so hot, my heart is like a launched heat seeking missile.
until june
