A new year, a new start

At the time of this entry, we are just about 19 hours from saying bye bye to 2005 forever and welcome a brand new 2006. It seems that its very common for people to be setting resolution for the new year. For the past years of my life, I have never really set any form of resolution. Afterall, chances are I might just forget about them or not even keeping to them.

If ask what do I really hope for, there is way too many things in life that I want and hope for, and well, the keyword is hope, so its hope for lor. Less hopeful, less disappointment. Lessons learnts from numerous lessons through my entire life. Whatever bad things that happened is past means that whatever is past is past. Let it go, and look at the new coming year and work the best out of it. Dwelling on the past is never a good thing. Never is, never was, never will be.

But isn't it just strange that an incident left me devastated and took me a long time to recover from it, and when I finally thought I have did and look at the incident straight in the face, I no longer sense any of the sorrows anymore. I am so happy for myself. Good. Life moves on. I always tell people that. Advise are so easy to give away but so damn farking hard to swallow. Dunch ya not think so? And when I was listening to a particular song that is somehow related to the incident, which also happens to be a song that I really do like, the sorrows climb out from nowhere and tried to attack me. Well, I won't say that it succeeded nor it failed. But somehow I can still find the sorrow means that its not totally out of my life. And ops, that stupid sorrow basically prompt this entry, which I intend to look back 10 years from now or even longer, if I'm still alive and the server dun farking vaporized.

Nop, I ain't going to do any resolution this year either. I just find it stupid, for myself nia. I dunno about you people but I think I am most unlikely to do anything about it, so no point in hoping for anything nor wishing nor wanting. And nop, I won't make my resolution to get over the incident. Afterall, I believe time has done a good job for me, in helping me etched it away. But of course you people can continue to have your resolution and I will continue to pray for you, for you to achieve your resolution. But dun ask about which Big Guy Up There I will be praying to.

Whatever it is, I wish everyone a great new year ahead and enjoy the party for this weekend!

Have fun.

Peace Havoc lah.

Super hero you are?

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

Home sweet home

Young Melanie: What do you want to marry me for anyhow?
Young Jake: So I can kiss you anytime I want.
Great quote, I must say. Taken out from Sweet Home Alabama. Well, it did premier on Channel 5 on X'mas day. Premier my arse. Imagine premier-ing a movie that is nearly 3 years old. How nice. This could jolly well be the reason by people turn to download movies and dramas. Ok, I'm not suggesting that I support piracy, but I'm just saying that it is the situation that creates it.Somehow I think Reese Witherspoon's image in Legally Blond pretty much etch into my memory. So somehow I still see the Elle Woods character in Sweet Home Alabama. Nonetheless, its still a nice movie for those in need of some honey in the hearts.

Back to the quotes. Dunch you think your girl might just be sweep off her feet on hearing that? Nay, I doubt so but still, I think it could pretty well used to counter attack replying your sweet darlin' on why you love her. Isn't that one of the most asked and most dun-feel-like-answering question between a pair of lovebirds?

Sort of remind me when the first time I ask this girl that I really like for many years out back a long time ago when the moon was still blue, and she did say yes, but only to call me back 10 mins later to cancel it. Man I thought I almost bang my head through the walls. Looking back now, even if today I ask her to go out, that is even if I even bother to pick up the phone to call her, I will probably be emotionless and unresponsive even if she were to say nay. Afterall, time did wash a lot of things away... As the wise old man always says, time will etch away your wound, I think.

Had a conversation with a friend a while back and somehow Jessica Alba wondered into our conversation. Man was she hot. We both agreed to that, no doubt about it. The last few movies that I had watched starring her simply just boost her career into a hot babe lady image. Honey. Sin City. Fantastic Four. Into The Blue. Of course she does more than those but too bad I haven't really notice her till I watch Honey. Half the time she was in hot bikini in Into The Blue and that movie hasn't really sink that low. One review written for it simply just don't justify it. Afterall reviews are always written by human and dependable on the reviewer's taste. Someone wrote a crap review on Chronicle of Narnia a while back on the local free paper. Based on what he had written, I'm pretty sure he has not read the book, if not he does not understand the gist of it. Into The Blue is not a great movie but it isn't a too bad movie either. Those who love babes and diving would most probably like this movie.

Then I mentioned about how Sue Storm, the hot babe character in Fantastic Four falls for an old man character like Reed Richards. But of course, he pointed out that its such things that give folks like us (me and him) hopes for the future and our dating life and our dream babes.

ps : that guy is happily attached with a cute girl and looking at buying flat.

Are you been snooped?

Now that Bush is under fire for wiretapping on Americans without a court order, does it make you wonder if your very own Emperor and Crown Prince so and so is doing something similar? Via boingboing, Richard M. Smith of ComputerBytesMan came out with an experiment to see if you have been snooped on.
Interesting idea, wouldn't you say? But if you do get a knock on your door in the middle of the night, you know you are shit, knock or no knock.

Anyone playing?

Hinokio

Hinokio tells a story of man child and robot and their relationships. A simple yet touching story on how a child tries to recover from an accident and finds and learn about friendship, love, trust and betrayal and of course, at a mere age of 7, jealousy and hatred all comes together. Now, that is true human nature.

But of course, its the fancination of the technology that could one day be used by the people, in the climb to advancement of technology and how it would help improve our lives. I shall wait and see if I can look back and see where all this is heading. Probably 20 years, I can look back at this article again and see where are we heading in terms of technology, if I'm still alive.

Pik pik piak piak

Following the huge success of Ong-Bak, came Tom Yum Goong, the next power action movie from the Land of Thousand Smiles. Starring Tony Jaa, the Jackie Chan of the Land of Thousand Smiles. Both movies bring out the ancient thai martial arts to a whole new level. If the action can streamline more with the style and flow of the movie and to get some serious story writer to fill in some truly amazing storyline, it might would turn out to be just the perfect movie that will leave behind glory that others will find hard to catch up. Probably consider getting 袁和平 (Yuen Woo Ping) to be the martial art director might just do the trick.

The plot might be a little thin, I have to say but how many big major good action movies have very good plot? 沙破狼 (SPL aka Sha Po Lang) is good though again the plot is only slight thicker than what you get from the mentioned titles above. Still I must credit them, for it is a very long time since I last saw some seriously good action packed martial art styled movie. Not forgetting to mention that some of my favourite action actors like Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen are in it.

七剑 (Seven Sword) has very very good martial art choreography that simply perfect it to an art form, but sadly, the plot is not exciting enough to entice but the martial art definitely does. Again Donnie Yen is there. So chinese martial art is making wave even in the western world. Matrix and Danny the dog are perfectly good examples. Probably the thai ancient martial art will also be making waves soon. You never know.

Fight till the end


The NKF saga does not seems to come to an end, until the ones who ought to be shot punished are punished. Their donors are putting bit by bit. I know, everybody is saying that let's not take it out on the patients. True, that is so true but lets not forget many other incidents that if not drastic action is done, nothing will be done. Its sad but then its also so true. The public must be pleased.

You see, when you fight a case, you have to fight to the end, and to also calculate that which party has more to lose when the fight continues. Look at the strike going on in Manhattan now. Although the union is been fined 1 million a day but then how much is the city and transportation company losing each day without any works? If they can hold their fight, they should be able to put their negotiation power over to their ends, but of course, to have the few hundreds of thousands overworked and underpaid workers (hmmm, who in the right mind would say they are overpaid and underworked?) understand the logic behind it is another thing. Good luck to them on that.

And I hereby claim that this is JUST MY FARKING THOUGHTS and I ain't no inviting no legal letters to appear inside my letterbox nor do I want to be waken in the middle of the night by some farking gahmen people. Me no inciting any riots nor public disorder nor strike nor anything that is no good for the gahmen. Me scare. Me no moolah to play with gahmen.

Must be the festive season mood.

Obigood


This is so farking stupid and funny. And over here, we have a good phrase for the idiot. Kiang du hor, mia kei kiang. Is the Xbox 360 so good that so many are committing crimes for it? Or just pure marketing strategy to cause the shortfall to make it look like its selling like hotcakes? Then again, Japanese are only responding to it in a lukewarm fashion. And look at the gloating they are doing to their Yankees counterpart for the ample stock they have. Then again, it might just not be really that good leh. The infamous Blue Screen of Death of M icro$oft is very nicely incorporated into Xbox 360. So how can it be an authentic Micro$oft production without the so infamous BSoD?

Me? I'm more hoping for a Nintendo DS. Anyone?!?!?!? Xmas just 2 days away. I'm still waiting!

Haven of downloaders


Finally it has arrive. The safety of download anything, literally everything, has been granted in the land of most sexed country. The frenchie gahmen is giving the approval download as long as its private and non-commercial! Let's keep our finger crossed that they will not reverse the decision since the voting take place without most of the members of the gahmen house.

Now, will Sillypore and many other countries follow suit?

It finally happened

For so many years, I have been wondering what will I do when I come across situation A. I have given myself a couple of reaction/solution to situation A. Solution 1 and 2 and 3. Solution is probably the worst of the lot but it might also turn up to be the easiest to do compared to how I feel that 3 might just jolly well be the toughest. All these while, I have been thinking that solution 1 might just be my auto reaction but instead I instantly got into a solution 3. I'm so damn surprised myself. But then again, its not exactly a situation A but maybe ½A. The other ½ has yet to happen but now, I think continue with solution 3 would just be the natural reaction just as well. How nice.

And I finally finish reading Chronicles of Narnia. Book 1 though. I have yet to watch the movie, except for the trailer. Not even the review of the movie. But if it is following the closely to the children book, I would, they sure can stretch the details to great imagination. Bear in mind that this is a book for children written back a long long time ago back more than 50 years ago, making it even older than Sillypore. An avid reader can probably finish this book within the afternoon. It is that thin. Ok, 6 more books to go, and I presume 6 more films coming, since its making a good earning for Disney.

Speaking of reviews, seems like KingKong has mixed reviews, depending which edition you are reading and how they write it. Local publishing claiming to be a major box office, which is undeniable based on the ticket sales locally here in Sillypore. But somehow, comparing it with the Chronicles of Narnia in terms of earnings for a 3 days period, KingKong seems to be falling just a bit behind since earnings are their best judgement tools.

Wedding Crashers is a hilarious movie. The theme is something new and refreshing, and I love it, and I'm even so very tempted to try it my very self! One would probably need to be suave, quick minded and know how to be a crowd teaser and pleaser. Maybe I can try that out one of these days, just one of these days. Then again, it might just be tough to find a table to sit in, without anyone asking you who you are, and where you are coming from or even be spinning tall tales.

I might just try it out when I'm out of Sillypore. Might just be so fun. And of course getting banged by next president candidate's daughter could just be sooooo exciting. Provided I dun get chased down by the FBI and the NSA and the CIA and the Secret Service and blah blah blah.

Creation and creativity

Via boingboing I come to know of this article and that article and from there I got into this. Remind me of this book that was once available locally here in sillypore. Irregardless of a person status quo, creativity is never a hindrance. But serious, is the diagram in this what I'm thinking it is? Incredible invention and might just sell well among the loners of the world. Any entrepreneur buying the invention?

Fantasy dream

fantasy dream
fantasy dream,
originally uploaded by bishamon.
Got this from a friend. Now I wonder if I am going to get a very early birthday pressie? But too early leh! Way way too early, beside, I dun even know any porn stars, not even by their first name. Afteall porn is not one of my favourite category of movies. I think they get too repetitive and really really poor on the plots.

Then again, I heard that this is suppose to be great. Big budget porn movie, how is that for you? Part 1 won some awards at the 2000 AVN. Hey, I dun even know the existences of that AVN lor!

So anyone interesting in having some up close and personal photo session with your favourite porn star? Who knows, you might get lucky, like the one in Girl Next Door.

Growing up

As I was telling someone about the process of growing up, I seems to
think to myself that I'm getting talkative and long-winded and portray
myself as an old ah pek. Just as I'm saying, its part of growing up,
aka getting older.

To think just some years back, I could go meet some friends to drink
till late early and I can still get up to go to work. Now I
cannot do any longer, not with a stupid headache. What to do? A long
time friend's bachelor party. He is going to wave bye bye to the
brotherhood of singledom forever. Must give face right?

Then we just talk about old times. How we always go clubbing impromptu
and they turned out good, unlike those that are preplanned sessions
that normally ends without a bang. Then we agreed on how drunk we
gotten, then spent the time in the toilet scolding oneself on why get
oneself drink so farking much. The color languages started appearing
and then swear to stop drinking again if one can get sober and
regain sensibility. And when the drinking started again in another
session, the oath that was taken on the previous occasion was no
longer on the mind, far from reach. The oath was once again
broken.

And it happened. And happened. And happened.

But now, no more. We will step on the brakes before we even reach
there. Unless on great occasion like some close friends' bachelor or
hen parties. And no, one no go over the hill last nite though the
volume was a little too high for a tuesday nite.

We moved from Hideout to O Bar. And more beer continue to flow into
the body. Towards end of the nite, or maybe just a few hours more to
breaking of dawn, the ladies who had stayed behind were mostly getting
a little too high. Then they gathered the guys and popped a question
to us.

Would you mind if you find your girlfriend a bisexual, doing
another girl.

A friend and I said we were single and that triggered a IMAGINE
LAH!!!
from the rest of the gang. Imagine means its not real. Not
real means my answers carried no weights. But since they wanted us to
entertain, so I did.

My reply. <i>I dun think I will mind. I will be happier if I get to
bang the other girl</i>. Bastard and bitch were some of the things I
heard trailing my answer. Entertain wah.

(scrowling at the crowd that is walking past me at coffee beans)

An interesting notion, mi dorlin' dunch y' tink?

Project Air Guitar


Technology is just such wonderful science. The advancement of it is simply incredible, thou not thinkest so? Quoting one of my favourite quotes from this great scifi author:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961 (Clarke's third law)
Isn't it so? I truly believe in it. Levitation is made possible, by magic or by advance technology. So does teleportation or you might consider translocation. And now this is no longer something you just seen on TV and the sound that sounded are added in authoring room. This is real now.

You know, me thinks it will make a great tools for impressing the lady of your dream, provided thee playth musics to no ear. Then I shall say amen to you.

A little toy


You know, I think this little toy is simply fabulous for a X'mas pressie! It might just be able to fulfill my little dream of doing snowboard, in a very safe environment minus the snow and the wind and avalanche and killing people and injury to oneself (but then again, that doesn't stop you from toppling all over oneself when playing).

An idea of filtering pROn

This is such a good idea. But ask someone mention, its a thin thin (thin to the bone, I guess) line between porn and art, or even what is porn and what is not? How knows, maybe someday down the road, we might have PP (porn protocol) and you can access porn site via porn:// instead of http://.

Extract of the article:
Instead of trying to censor the Internet, CP80 gives those who don't want access to pornographic material on the Internet the ability to restrict that, Yarro said. Pornographers will still be able to publish their content, and those who wish to view it can do so.

Cyberhand

This has come a long way. A lot of people, especially those got involved in accidents are so going to love this. But I just wonder, is the insurances going to cover it? Remind me of a Scene in Star Wars 5: Empire strikes back, where Luke Skywalker has a mechanical hand attached to him after his daddy chop this hand off. Or maybe even like the world in Bicentennial Man, where human parts can be reproduced mechanically and not through cloning. But of course The Island is another of the similar reality that might possibly take place.

Human, I guess, are just trying to stay alive.

I am human afterall.
