LOTR: Return of the King
Halfway through the movie I was thinking of myself. Tolkien must have had smoke a whale of strong weed to be writing a long and beautiful story like this.
Each character is delicate and unique and yet they worked the story so beautifully.
The movie was fantastic; Peter Jackson has done his homework well. Complimenting an already great storyline, leaving you with a direction that will mark this movie as one of the greatest of all time.
The movie was good, fantastic actually, well timed and the actors were all great. Some scenes could be better but at this moment I don't think anybody could have done this any better.
Revolving around a war against the greatest evil, it shows the triumph of diversity has benefited all. The movie was a good reminder to all of us in these troubled times. War in it's true form, is brutal and long was well captured and portrayed in this wonderful film.
I do not wish to describe the story here so not to spoil those who had not had the chance to read the masterpiece, those who has read the book would know the ending ...Though I would think they would not be disappointed with Jackson's offering. I would leave that for them to decide.
I suggest that you head to the movies to watch this and ditch the idea of getting the pirated DVD. It's cinema magic with its best offering.
Enjoy.

Miss World 2003. The mark of a great woman?
One of the most prestigious event the world has to offer. Hey, it's Miss World. It's not Miss Roberts, It's not Miss Ali, It's not Miss Chong, it's Miss World!!
What is it so interesting about it that it gets Billions of people glued to the TV to see the world's most complete bahelorrette? Someone who can sing, do karate, provide amazing answers to mind-boggling interview questions and at the same time able to run along the beach with much grace and bounce.
If you ask a man (like me..) the running along the beach with bikinis looking at boobies bouncing around is my most favourite part. Yes I'm a pig, but all the men are if you did not notice.
So why the post? Yes, I'm not denying that all men, or almost all (not counting homosexuals) like to look at woman. Beautiful woman. Sexy woman. Almost naked woman. Naked? Better. Woman like sexy, great looking of a man too.
For most man, when they watch this type of shows intelligence is far off their heads. Most of the woman who participate in this event is smart if not geniuses in their own right. Imagine dating someone so beautiful with such intelligence, I would marry her on the spot! Why not? What else do you want? Imagine a Qualification of a Microbiologist with a body like Halle Barry! Hello!!! Earth to Blip!!
Unfortunately, when they are in this type of events everybody seems like they are casting for Baywatch. The only part where they seem to be at all exciting and brimming with a great vibe s when they run they heads off silly along the beach with their revealing bikini. No complaints here, but is Miss World necessary at all?
Why don't people create a show that searches woman who is sucessful. You know the scientist, the great lawyers, the working class, the soldier, the compasionate woman who gives it all to society, the women who fights for the environment, the lady minister, the Prime Minister, the rebel who fights for a cause, the woman who raps for a living, who plays beautiful rock music, the trendsetter, the record-breaker, the mother of a great human being, the mega million pop-star, the AIDS campaigner, the fund-raisers for Charity, the blogger, the sports woman, the inspiration, the comedian,on and on and on.
The great woman. The great woman. The great beautiful woman of the world.
Why don't this kind of show gets the CREDIT IT DESERVES? Why at all should there be a Miss World and even Mr. World. Why the separation at all? What is the problem? Do women still need time to get up to speed with men? Do they need unnessecary awards like the Miss World to show that Woman Boleh? There is a lot of woman out there who can kick my butt phsically and mentally. Damn straight, and I don't think they even realise this.
Am I a MCP? Yes.
I however suggest that humans take a step back and consider womans contribution to the world and start balancing their worth. A womans worth is as worthy as a Man. Period.
If people start realising that maybe one day they'll have less man like me. Heck maybe one day a woman will be called a Human. |

Ha Chi Ng Sai Tang!
Thank you. 2 simple words, that would bring a smile to a strangers face, faster than 'Love you' which could get you a smack in the face faster then you could imagine.. :-D
I think we Malaysians have a problem saying thank you or at least appreciate the gesture. Well not all some do it all the time but I guess the general population doesn't. From what I gather anyway.
Scenario 1.
Me in the lift with an old local couple. Elevator stops, I hold the door for the old local couple, the couple goes out. Didn't thank me hell, didn't even smile back. Felt like I was working for the shopping mall or something, smiling alone like a damn fool.
Scenario 2
Me in the lift, with 5 middle aged Europeans all well suited most probably on their way to a power/business lunch. Elevator stops, the First 2 thanked me while the others smiled and nod in thankful gesture. Still got that feeling I'm working for the shopping mall, but at least they said thanks?
Scenario 3
At the mamak, sat with a few people ordered teh tarik and half boiled eggs. Teh Tarik arrives with eggs. Said thank you. Requested the guy to bring kicap pekat, the guy nodded and quickly grab the kicap, said thank you again. The server smiled while shaking his head appreciating my "thank you's" (a Bangladeshi). A guy(local) form the neighboring table gave the "the guy must be high on something" look at me. I smiled at the guy, he looked away.
Scenario 4
At the customer service counter. Smiled at the lady officer, inquired something, lady officer gave out some info. I Said thank you and smiled. Lady officer looked at her college and gave her the "nak mengorat lah tu" expression.
I know. From the scenario's you've read I might be a bit biased and saying that only foreigner says thank you and appreciate the gesture. I know most Malaysians do the same thing, but with strangers I do see a lot of us taking it lightly and assume it's okay not to say thank you.
When you are holding a door for a person that is rushing, who would you think would say thank you? The rushing westerner or the rushing Malaysian?
What would happen if I pull my face thinking my effort is wasted since the Malaysian did not say thank you?
I would expect the Malaysian to say silently: -
"Lain kali tak payah lah tunggu!" or
"Katta Iruka Vendam Aduta Vati" or
"Ila Enda Iboh Nganti" or
"Ha Chi Ng Sai Tang".
He/She might be thinking that I should have not expected anything for what I did. Well I would actually expect a plain thank you. Yes.
Most probably if I go to a foreign country I wont expect such gratitude in return; most probably they are friendly here because they are tourist? Then again Malaysians is always projected as a friendly nation, isn't it friendly to say 'Thank You'?
It's just two words that will make a lot of difference. Most probably it feels funny saying it the first few times, but hey give it a try who knows the other person might just say "thank you" back.
Thank you for reading.
Didn't that make you feel good?

Assicons and working again...
Ah, yes. Back to work.
Back to the old staring at the monitor half of the day crunching numbers, replying mails and stuff, work. Spent half of the time going through a bunch of e-mails. Should have just extended my leave and just skip Monday..still tired of the travelling and all, but I guess everthing that has a beginning has an end!
Could feel the work-stress slowly bogging the "happy" me I've rediscovered down, it will take some time to get it going again but once the ball is rolled I productivity will rise again. I've beaten stress before, let's hope this time around it hasn't found a way to upgrade itself, or multiply iteslf ala Agent Smith.
this was forwarded to me, got me smiling.. :-D
We all know those cute little computer symbols called "emoticons,"
where:
:) means a smile and this
:( is a frown.
Well, how about some "assicons"? Here it goes:
(_!_) a regular ass
(__!__) a fat ass
(_*_) a sore ass
{_!_} a swishy ass
(_o_) an ass that's been around
(_x_) kiss my ass
(_X_) leave my ass alone
(_zzz_) a tired ass
(_E=mc2_) a smart ass
(_$_) Money coming out of his ass
(_?_) Dumb Ass
Hoping that it will give you the same vibe. junk mail rules! ;-D
Studying will resume on January and I can already feel the pressure gaining some mental ground. Counting Crows should remake "A Long December" to "A short December", it's only the 1st today but I can see the whole week racing away!!
Did you notice that everbody is getting married this month? I'm booked. There goes lazying around with a glass of orange juice watching HBO on the weekends before new year breaks.
ahh well, at least I'll get free lunches this month! Besides the final installment of LOTR is coming. My precioussssss......
