The controversies

There are tons of information online, talking and debate and shooting it down. The more you wish to ban it, then more publicity its getting. Just look like Amsterdam. Drugs are legal there and they have less drug addicts than the France has them. Well, its not a good example but still, its still an example. And I think I have pretty much wrote down my thoughts on it here along the time since I first read the book.

So probably enough publicity from the world on it. But this is very interesting. However, something on it is bugging me. Since when did Jesus become God? I have always thought that Jesus is SON of God. Or has memories starting to failed on me? Maybe. But still I would prefer not to go back to church. Oh well, one man's meat can be another man's poison.

Somehing big in motion

Ok, I'm a little slow with this [bad politics] but still, its something. In just case I haven't got anyone who is reading blog coming across it. As I was watching the trailer, the first thing that come across my mind is this. Probably something seriously is happening, more serious than those terrorist attacks and same-sex marriage and too much power. I'm so waiting for this show.

Screwing up

A while back, I read on this guy's blog that he was making a prediction about the US election in November. Seems like the Yankees were pretty much supportive to have the Democrats replacing the Republicans. This guy predicted that the Democrats are going to screwed up somewhere somehow for the Elections and the Republicans are going to win again. I think it is happening already. What kind of idiot to hide moolah in the freezer?

I think many most people I know of simply dislike that Bush guy. I think google still don't like him. No? Try this. Bush should be ending his rule soon. 8 years max, right? Unless the rules change again. Or are they playing it like what they are playing here in Sillypore. Are we getting a Senior President? Or a President Mentor? I once asked a friend that why was there a cap of 2 terms on the presidency. Wouldn't it be a waste if the current ruling president happened to be a really good? His reply was that's what democracy is all about.

Now, probably the world should be happy that there exist this cap. Maybe, if they dun change the playing rules. Wait, did I not hear that Sillypore is was supposed to be a democratic country?

Evolution

I can only say this video is seriously good. Damn funny. Seeing the evolution of the dance that went by the time. Man, I feel nostalgic. If you had been there, done it all. I would say, ya da man....but wouldn't that either made you very ancient or ya a super clubber of the retro till present?

Bastard to stab?

"All Men Are Bastards" Knife Block,
originally uploaded by bishamon.

Almost a year ago, I blogged about this, finding its a really interesting product. Who knows, it might even have therapeutic effect. The stabbing in and out effect might actually help reduce the chance of your seriously stabbing your flirting spouses.

And yeah, I finally saw it selling in Sillypore while out window shopping around for a washing machine and a maybe LCD TV. However it was priced at a figure that I ain't quite willing to pay. Oh, I think it comes with the knife as well. I think so.

Oh, its big too, kind of cumbersome but there's magnet built into the slot, so it did make sure you ain't going to poke it the wrong way.

Indian fortune teller

I met a fortune teller on the street today. An indian one. I never really ask for him to tell me my fortune. I was just walking to the busstop and out of the blue, this indian guy who was walking beside me juz turn around and said you are a very lucky man. Yeah right. Lucky my foot. I still gotten get to win the 10 million toto.

Then he went on talking about my fortune, my love life, my career, my worries and such. As usual, most of what fortune teller would tell me if I asked them. Then he invite me to sit down at the busstop. Lucky him, I was waiting for the bus. Lucky him but I probably won't say that he can predicted it. Probably caused I stopped walking after reaching the busstop. While walking to the busstop, he actually never stop talking. Just kept mentioning about my worries and problems and I think too much. Way way too much. Ask me not to rush into anything. I would be very very happy next month. I wondered what was going to happen next month. Ah Bill gonna give me his wealth? Actually I'm such a simple man. A lot of things also could just made me happy. I think.

Then he went on again but I was only listening with half a heart. I hate missing the bus. The damn bus would be a long wait if I missed one. He ask me to show him my right palm. I just showed it to him, quickly. No harm I believed. I dun work in some extremely high security area where my palm was the key to opening some secret weapons, Ain't no Mission Impossible/James Bond/Alias style. Doubt  my hand was going ever going to be chopped for that purpose. He took a quick glance and then go on talking abt my dunno what line. I thought I heard love line. It was full of ups and downs. That there was going to be two (yeah, two.. one.. two... and I'm seriously trying very hard to surpress my urge to burst out laughing) women in my life and I'm going to just love one, leaving the other broken-hearted. Oh yeah, tell me about it man. But this one was good. This statement was so totally first-timer. No other fortune teller ever told me that.

Then he tried some kind of test on me. Took out his brown planner diary and started scribbling something on a tiny piece of paper and crashed it into a tiny ball and passed to me, asking me to hold it in my fist. Then he started asking me some personal  questions. Well, I really tried to be honest. And then he asked me to blow into my fist. Yah right, like some magic show and ask me to open up the tiny ball of paper. Somehow, the answer on the paper matched the answer of the questions he asked me. Interesting, isn't it?

And the moment I'm expecting it to happen. He asked me to put that piece of paper back into this little brown planner diary of his. Then next grand moment, asked me to put some moolah there so that he could, I thought he say, pray for me. For my happiness. So was I conned? Well, I did put some moolah in it. 2 bucks. All that I can afford to spare. Then he looked at it and said that its so little. Then showed me this old photos of a lot of children. And talked about how moolah were just things that are external of life. Something that I could not carry to me when I died. Oh man, someone wanna talk philosophy with me. Great. I knew that. In fact, I always said that though it was never easy to not let moolah affect your life. Anyway, I just looked at him and said that that was all I'm willing to spare. He just smiled at me, shaked my hand and then walked away.

Well, the 2 bucks was just for entertaining me. Why not? I can afford that.

The world of kimchi

I had watched a fair number of korean movies. From romance to comedy. From thriller to horror. The good, the bad, the ugly, the boring. Seen it all. But that I had never really watched were the kimchi drama. I just find their drama too dramatic (wait, was I corny here?) plus I find the colors on those kimchi drama too.... can't think of a word now. I just dun exactly quite like it.

However, over the weekend. I thought I should just give it one last try. I tried it twice but I never lasted more than 10 minutes. And so my first time to kimchi drama was given to this. No regards actually. Its one hell of a funny drama, though it still kinda dramatic here and there. In fact, I'm like 2/3 through the drama already. Now I wonder if I really should take the opportunity to do the big intestine gold （大长今）. Well, I had whole set of the vcd with me. Not that I actually wanted to do it but rather, its my mom. She's now hot over this movie, which many of the aunties people I know of were. Oh, the vcd actually belong to my HOD.

This reminds me of My Little Bride. In fact My Little Bride was based on this. But of this, the stories where different in either case. One was an open no secret while the other had to be in secret. Probably the movie more resemble the recent anime known as Oku-sama wa Joshi Kousei. It sure look exciting to have a wife of that age. Oh, I do actually know someone who marry his wife when she was 18. But he was 21 then. Maybe I should go look for one myself? Where to buy ah?

I know a monkey friend of mine was so much into these kimchi stuff. I was trying to convince her to go pick up the language and then go try to find herself a kimchi husband. Probaly most of her tissue or toilet papers were wasted away on crying out for shows like big intestine gold （大长今), 秋天的童話, 天国的阶梯. I knew that tears contain antibodies that were good for cleansing your eyes. But wasting them away like this? Women. Man were never meant to understand them anyway.

Dance Season Finale

Finally finished the season. And well, the grand finale episode was not about competition but to stretch one hour time slot on TV to show you, rather slowly, who the winner was. Some reviewed of the past recording, and inviting the 12 knockout dancers back to share a few minutes of the fame on the stage, for the last time. Oh, there was one special guest. Someone so unexpected. I shan't say who but I could drop some bit of a hint. Someone who got retorted by Nigel Lythone. Ok, a lot of people got that from him. Someone who retorted back to him as well. And walked off the stage. So think about more. There wasn't that many in the auditions episode giving a lot of showtime to those people.

One of the most memorable performance done during the competition was broadway. I think its also fabulous. The 1st one and the only one. One of the disco numbers was very good too. Very fun. Very energetic. Oh, did I mention that I'm going to be doing Disco Rock soon. If there is so going to be so many hop hop hop. I'm so going to die. I'm so going to.

Oh, season two had is going to start (on tv). I'm so looking forward to it. And I still wonder if we are going to see a sillypore version down here in sillypore. Anyone I knew going to take part?

Performance vs Dance

So You Think You Can Dance is still a entertainment show that tried to show off dancing but not totally staying true to dancing. And as with all usual popular stuffs, politics will somehow mixed into it. By the time I watched till the final 8, the kind of prejudice in the show was getting pretty obvious.
I guess its also 50% luck as well since you have to choose a compatible with chemistry dance partner and a dance that one could shines.

I could serious felt for some of them, who got knocked out before getting to shine. Its really sad. Basically, no one wants to pick up any ballroom standard dance. You can see the face when they pulled a ballroom standard dance out of the hat. I thought they were probably some of the toughest dances to pick up, unless you were trained for it. Probably the only 2 person who could pulled it off with ease and enthusiasm were the 2 trained ballroom professional dancer. The only sad thing was that the two NEVER got a dance to partner together. It might be mind-blowing. It might.

At the same time, I hate the prejudice on the show. The kind of leniency that show to that cocky highly confident guy. First this guy was been told for being cocky and he rebuked bad-mouthed the judge on the show after he got out of the judgement room and shrugged it off as being confidence and not cocky-ness. Then I was thinking that if that guy was so going to pull out a standard ballroom dance, he would be at the bottom, but nop, he still dun. Even if he got the praise from the judgement, I still dun think he did the samba really well. Me. My own judgement. Who cares.

I thought the judge felt for the guy who got knocked off the show because he did not perform well enough for a dance that is just not exactly his style, even when he tried really hard. The judge even told the guy that the guy was probably the most technical dancer of the show. But too bad for him, this show was about performancing in front of american tv. Its a kind of wake up calls to the rest of the remaining dancers and you see them starting to leave behind some of their technicality of their dance to mix in the entertainment factor. Still entertaining to watch, I would say.

I might update again, when I finished the whole season, and see if I see any more shit.

Did I mention that someone told me that guys who dance are gay. Show her the finger! Not especially when she mentioned that salsa especially. Double shot of the finger. Hey, you ladies are in for a treat with so many hotbod guys dancing half naked on the show almost every episode.

Buy my vote

Politics had has never been my favourite subject, it still isn't. In fact, I hardly even keep track of the local politics. Whose in. Whose out. Which estate become which GRC. But for some unknown reasons, maybe its about time, being a sillyporean, I should just keep track of Sillypore's political world. Maybe, just maybe there is a blue sky (青天) outside of the royal family rule.

Seems like not. Early morning, my mom gave me a call. Ok, AM are meant for sleeping, unless its a work day. I was still quite dazed, and then my mother asked me if I have gone to vote. I was like.. huh.. vote wat? I where got chance to vote? Wait till got people want to challenge Lau Goh lor. My chance to vote is as good as me voting to have Bush's arse kicked. Unless and of course I choose to moved to those rundown estate that are held by the opposition. My mom did. Now even my sister get to vote. DAMN. Oh, my mom called not over the concern on who I'm voting for, but on any number on the vote for her to buy 4D. Sighz. See, our dear gahmen probably almost pretty damn sure that
they can track down every single person who voted against them. I'm
pretty sure of it. Those damn aristocrat. Dun lie, Ah Lee. Your nose will grow very long.

Remember the progress package offered by the gahmen that was supposed to come in on 1st of May. However they arrived earlier, before the long weekend last week. Wow how nice of the gahmen to give us extra allowance now to spend to be collected back right after winning the GE. I bet my arse on it. During a collegue's wedding last week, one of my colleague on the same table casually mention, how about writing thank you for the moolah on the vote?

And of course, today is the big day. The polling day. Who win, who lose, who draw, you will know the result starting tomorrow. Have you place your bets? Wait, will there be a draw? Well, seems like the promoted crown-price-turn-emperor needs some mandate win to look good. By all means, I would say. Like out of the blue, some boundaries were re-drawn. A colleague who had been voting for the past few times suddenly just been removed the chance to do that. Suddenly they found themselves under the Lau Goh with me. Ok, Mine was exactly sudden. I had been under since I first moved in.

And you know, having a logo that resemble some of the world wide famous characters doesn't seems like a bad idea. Maybe they were destined for something big some 40 years ago when they choose the logo. Maybe Pikachu can be their mascot for carrying their logo on its arse. Or how about
Mr Potter's multi-billion worth scar?

I was seriously thinking that people who yearned to vote but yet denied the chance, are they going to vote for the anti-empire party? If not, why bother? Your dear dynastic royal family ain't anywhere near losing their empire, at least I don't see that happening in this or next GE.

Dear Mr President

Beautiful song by Pink. Live Unplugged. Check this out. Listen closely to the lyrics. Via TalkLeft which comes via Seeing the Forest which I got via Bad Politics.

Someone wanna sing about our royal family?

I was wondering ...

A boy asked the mother this question. If the PM lost his constituency, can he no longer be our PM? The mother in turn asked me this question. I looked blankly at the mother and thought for a while. You know, it had never occurred to me on this one. He might lost his constituency but I really doubt he can be derailed as PM, so fast. And my answer was "Nay, I doubt so. I believe he can still be the PM". Why do I say that? Based on what the MM said couple of days back in the papers. About who having access to ministers and can fight better for the people. Then wife of an MPex-MP said that he cannot continue to be PM if he lose the election. Now, as the topic been derailed from losing the constituency to losing the election. Now, this is so totally different. I believed that if its the latter, of course he cannot be the PM, but if it is the former, I believe the royal family can still continue to rule the kingdom.

Oh, this conversation took placed over a colleague's wedding dinner on Saturday. The conversation did not continued on and further clarification because there was more important things on hand. That is to fill up our tummy. We were all hungry. I was.
