Berita Hairan

unless you’ve been living on mars, you should’ve heard by now about the gahmen’s report on that msk’s escape. my reaction? it is so astoundingly stupid that the reasons laid out were beyond belief. and for someone who eats on conspiracy theories, something else fishy must’ve happened to msk, else not the excuses and reasonings would have made much more sense.

and someone reflected that he was disappointed towards the opposition who didnot have the wit to question wks. true enough, those guys have to learn to ask better questions in order not to make a fool of themselves. they should’ve learn from talkingcock instead and asked these questions to grill on this incident:-

1. How Come Urinal Got Door One?

2. Did PCK Help MSK?

3. CCTV at Polling Centre, But Not Detention Centre?

4. How Did WKS Escape?

Read about this from mollymeek – a petition to SBS Transit to bring down TVMobile.

1) TV Mobile on SBS buses intrudes on our right to peace and quiet and should be removed;

2) TV Movile programmes have appalling entertainment value;

3) It is unclear to the public how, if any, revenue from TV Mobile has contributed to keeping bus fares low;

4) Instead, bus fares have been rising steadily,

5) with little signs of service improvements in these areas – A) cleanliness of buses; B) politeness of bus drivers; C) shorter waiting times; D) cost-benefit transparency;

6. We call for a basic commuter’s right: the right to a peaceful bus ride.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

whoa, another petition for the environmental causes.

remember that irritating ad about dove’s “real beauty”? well, apparently, they are themselves destroying THE real beauty. them and many others, lah. but still a small step.

clikky here.

PBS, the guys who brought to you sesame street, had produced an excellent documentary focussed on bush’s war. 5 hours of pure program if you, like me, love to indulge on americana politicks.

i know that the issue of 9-11 and the eye-raq war has been playing of to dead – now that everyone is raving about global- warming earth hour day media fest when everyone should have taken notice of it in 1999 but then that was the era of y2k paranoia – but this program dealt so much into the backroom schmooziles and scandalous schemings of the “big” heads at the white house. everyone knows the insipid capability of dubya, but to me the real main culprits of this whole saga has been dick cheney, paul wolfowitz, scooter libby and the devil of them all, don rumsfield.

the program’s not perfect though, as it could have pondered more into the white house administration relationship with the saudi royal family and their greed for eye-raq’s oil, but then i think Fahrenheit 911 had covered it, albeit bashfully.

good times.

ah, at last the speech the people have been talking about.

in other news, i think it’s getting more fucked up than before. imagine, a woman who became a man and now he/she is pregnant.

and i thought arnie in junior was weird.

now, we know how mass slams escaped fm whitley.

plus, be sure to youtube for the whole of friday as sigur ros will take charge its main page. Heima will be shown full, and that is pure news to myself.

here’s me waiting for them to perform somewhere close in the near future. HOPES!

**for a limited time only on youtube. excellent, excellent.

am i the only person who thinks that all public toilets now will be deemed as a highly protected secured place after you know that case thingy?

somehow one wonders what if this event happened before the announcement to hold the rights to host that you know what event.

i think prison break, the great escape, the rock or any other escape from prison shows will be banned, just so it’ll make ‘em less “inspired”, no?

how is it possible, that the man, a limping one at that, can escape from a highly secured facility whose organisation prides itself in “we are the reason for the safe environment for you and your family.”

well, i think we “hope” that the people who were supposed to do their jobs will wake up after all these. how many times people had babbled about the “slackness” and “rilek rolek” motley crue in the uniformed groups whose major cred is to angkat buah only?

and the pictures, sort of, proved it.

case no. 1 – the perennial ns man’s favourite moment – looking at college girls while on duty.

case no. 2 – if anything else fails, there is always a gurkha at help.

case no. 3 – after years of training, we still must walk in line for everyone to see even though by doing this way even the space satellite can detect us.

don’t these people ever watch the fugitive? how in the mind numbing sense are they going to detect someone when you have one bee line of mps walk in a single file as if going to the mess canteen to drink milo for supper?

the biggest lesson here? the next time anyone wants to promote the cred of the “we only take the best in the uniformed groups and push them day after day after day after day”, just please stop it. because everyone knows it’s just full of bull whose members are only sitting on bonus pays and thinking on how to spend it.

and please, don’t the media know by now that malays do not have a surname? jeeeze.

really sad news – polaroid will be stopping the production of its films. guessed it is time to stockpile whatever i can get on it.

by the way, ah meng died.

goodbye, good times.

results are out. oh well, change cannot be undone yet. hah. results here.

if all else fails, they can fuck matt damon.

funneh dat sarah silverman.

gua first time masuk era feeling feeling tahun ‘99. being the dumbstrucked ns-man wih not much to do, the obvious destination to dating lating was duh movies. i still remember that, we went to plaza sing and having read about good reviews, we decided to catch 10 things i hate about you.

it was an enjoyable film. particularly when julia stiles read that 10 things note and heath ledger slide down the post to dedicate that song.

i still remember that show very well. i still remember when keegan kang said that both him and mr ledger were classmates. (spin!) i found him in the patriot as the ever faithful son, and i *cringe* at brokeback. oh yes, i am very looking forward to watch him becoming THE joker.

i don’t know him, he does not know me, the world will move on. but in this age where somehow – somehow – movies, music and entertainment had made into part of our lives, evolving us with memories and experiences, i felt sad surrounding news of his death.

but then in the words of patrick verona, “..who needs affection when I have blind hatred?”

peace.

it’s time for some tunak tunak tun!

i am not sure about this. either radiohead used to work as brilliant marketing managers or corporations are exploiting on the “indieness” factor of the group. either way, me thinks this is too much. just only recently everyone was swayed into the *revolution* (without noticing the sirens of normal distribution later on), they’ve cropped out another gimmick. this is by far the most blatant ploy to get our money. what’s next? toilet paper rolls with letdown lyrics printed on layer by layer? everybody wants to be paid, but do go slow on these *souveniers*, it’s heartbreaking to be so involved in mass collection for a group that we’ve all grown up with. dig it?

it’ll cost you USD$165 anyway if you are still interested.

mediacork / gahmen should send someone over to intern with fox news. the level of mediacork’s current comedic level still pales in comparison with foxeeeh creativity.

we must always be the best right? even in the worst of things.

but seriously, al-qaeda causing the wildfires! haha shito! i wonder if osama is building the largest water heater in the world right now that’s causing global warming. no wait! most probably he was the one who invented sars! no wait! someone just concluded that it is not arsene wenger who’s developing those brilliant young kids at arsenal, most probably it’s osama himself! but we doubt it’ll appear in fox news since soccuh ain’t that big enough statewise.

no wait! wait! wait! it gets better! it’s been really concluded that is is osama (really!) who disbanded simply red! most probably the ginger one could not handle enough trauma of having the world’s most wanted man supporting his favourite club. and that being a ginger. but seriously, does anybody knew the other members of simply red?

but we must doubt that osama created this!

oh it’s blasphemous! if not.

tata.

i’ve been growin super tired lately that i can’t open my eyes when the clock strikes 4pm. i can sleep almost anywhere without bothering much of the surroundings. worst of all, i’ve become one of those “funny looking sleeping people on mrt trains who tend to get their heads knocked on the glass panel”. used to be funneh, not now apparently. padan muka aku.

what’s going on man? i used to be so excited when work ends so that can merayap sana sini after that. not now, i am more excited to hit the bed as soon as possible. and weekends, oh puhleeeese. i am more in tuned with catching up on lost sleep than becoming the malam muda mudi kid. nah uh. i know, i know aku ni dah tua, but hellooooo….it’s still early age kan? i still remember my dad (his stories, entah betol ke tak) hit the swing life during his 30s. kena minum alicafe ataupun kopi jantan agaknyer tak?

so how liddat? becoming 30 and already not enough energy to sustain. how liddat gahmen? you said that ON AVERAGE people tends to live up to 82 and beyond nowadays so that’s why you guys implemented the new CPF ruling. incredible! i didn’t know the gahmen had set up a new geomaster-fortune-teller-tikam-tikam ministry that can agak agak how long its citizens will live. this is so minority-report-gattaca! we are so far ahead in terms of human evolutions that no wonder terroristas are not interested in landing on this land. what’s the point they may say. even if they do *something* they’ll know that it won’t be fruitful ‘cos the gahmen aka fortune-teller had told the world singaporeans will live up to 82. unless they target the old folks home lah. (i get it! it’s a whole big plan to make singapore more secure and to deter any terroristas from coming here! brilliant!)

buggers.

oh well, i have to admit that new ruling just plainly, sucks. can i say that i don’t want to contribute to CPF then? aku simpan dalam akoun senoman lagi mulia siots!

*update: nmp siew kum hong detailed speech in parliament that will fall into deaf ears i belief.

ok calm down, calm down. let’s watch some old school kiddy clip.

or those wes anderson’s sell out commercials. quirky.

more here.

i don’t understand baseball. more so cricket. all this batty games can make my head go spinning nah nah nah. apa? wickets? runs? innings? apa dar dei….then the match can play damn the long one. but 2 things can make this to change (for the mo lah kan)

1. looking at the kids across the lab practicing their cricket right now seems to be very inspiring. macam tengok citer lagaan. uniform cricket stail mail jugak beb.

2. when barry bonds hit his record breaking home run, people went nuts chasing after the ball. and now one lucky person has managed to sell that ball for a whopping $752,467.20. tak terbegik hotdog tengok tuh?

anyways, it’s been a bad bad bad week in sports news, for me at least. ‘pool lost points, mclaren didn’t finish 1-2 and greg oden won’t be playing this year. it’s all downhill from here mans…

and by the way, natas was nuts! the only thing that we got were brochures, brochures and more brochures telling the same ‘ol same ‘ol. and the queue! omigod! how many korean trips do YOU need!?

next year if i were to put up a booth at natas, i’ll do my best to be the most unique promoter of all – 5d/4n at golok

sure fully book one.

ah tengok tuh, banyak sangat diaorang tuh copycat nombor satu. *baru diaorang bikin itu disneyland cetak rompak, skarang kang diaorang ngah bikin ‘peranchis’ lagi satu.

we “dislike” manyoo but if there is one thing that resembles anything “humane” about them, it was ole gunnar solskjaer. which was good. except on the few occasions when he scored against pool in the fa cup in ‘96. or ‘97. oh whatever. fact is, it sucked. and please don’t mention about that goal on that night in barcelona. it can drive someone insane. but other than that, solskjaer was one of the (few) decent human beings at manyoo. still can remember people were complaining “ole-and-ronnie-who?” in 96 in match magazine (we have no intuhnet in those days). fact is, those 2 were one of the final pieces of that ‘99 team. buggers.

so it came as good/bad news that he’s retiring. like. right. now. fergie must be kicking himself nuts for selling alan smith. hah-hah!

hero for the day belongs to hugo chavez, president of venezuela. he did what others don’t dare to do by officially labelling bushy bush a devil.

“The devil came here yesterday,” Chavez said, referring to Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting Tuesday. “And it smells of sulfur still today.”

mr chavez, i admit i do not know much about venezuela. i do not know if things are well there. the only thing we, the world, understands about venezuela is that you blokes down there seem to produce damn fine contestants each year in beauty pageants. but then still i – and possibly billions of others – made you hero for the day is because YOU HAD THE BLARDY BALLS YO!

speaking of Yo’s and nigguh talk, I am going to brag about this series which just got downloaded recently. the series is called The Wire. it is about the lives of residents set around the baltimore area, focussing on the trials and tribulations between the drug lords, law enforcement and the people affected by both sides of the law. it is like city of god, set in a slower pace. 4 episodes into season 3, i still can’t figure out who is the main character. there are so many of them you cannot pinpoint who is the lead. the dialogue, however, is a real as it gets and the issues that they raised are pure and honest. this is a classic series, surpassing even that, to my opinion, the first season of the sopranos.

really, it is that good. buy it, dl it, anything anything you can get your hands on to it.

or, you can ask zlad! for some help. he is your darth vapouuurrr. haha.

occasionally, today paper churns out interesting articles, like this one. he puts into the point, what me and other muslims around the world have been asking about the current situation of muslim politics. the only surprising thing is that for a paper who dismissed one of its staffs for commenting on social issues, it actually prints this article for mass reading. possibly, the main reason behind this is due to the fact the writer is a foreigner. foreign talent must be good mah….

yawning bread gives out another excellent note on mediacork productions. it’s true and i doubt they will admit it, but most mediacorp productions spice up with a lot of shebangs in the promotion of the programmes, but ends up with little to ponder and more questions to burn. sesame street is more knowledgeable and in-depth in their programming as compared to these productions. best in asia my foot.

now, is it me or the death of steve irwin and the birth of the new japanese royal baby is but a pure coiincidence? you may never know.

it is teacher’s day t’day. the only happening reason why i love about this day is because all centres will be closed. good ‘ne.

to all those teachers who loves the job simply because they looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the spirit of teaching in moe schools, i have two words for you – get. real.

or better still, read this from the words of a frustrated one.

yesterday was malaysia’s 49th independence celebration. i am weird as evah, but i feel more for this celebration than stinkapura’s, for a) this independence celebration always reminded me that it marks the beginning of the end of blardy blittish colonial rule over malay land and b) that negaraku song is the beat that skipped my heart. i am malay like that.

maybe have something to do with my dad lah. all the time while i was growing up, the only news that he is interested are those in buletin utama and dunia jam 10 feat. ismeth. rarely i have seen him watching singapore news. i asked him why, and he’ll just go “ah, merepek ah berita singapore!”. i shrugged, he shrugged. the most funny thing is he’ll start comparing the condition between singapore and malaysia each time, and this is what buletin utama does best, a petty issue is sensationalised over the air. then he’ll go, “eleeeeeeeeeeeh, ni kalau kat singapore misti tak jadi cam gini….mana ada sistem diaorang tuh!” hah, the nerve of him to say such thing. and trust me 8 out of 10 malay singaporeans always compares and says the same thing. kapala sepunding ah they all. maciam mana kaum malayu mau maju?

imran johari’s act in last week’s talkingcock in parliament: we the citizen at the old parliament house was simply entertaining, especially to the references by malay singapore parents to their perception towards malaysia. i have no idea what had gone into these parents minds when the only thing all day that interests them in news and entertainment comes from there. it is somehow like a different dimension whenever their sons and daughters are venturing to there. anyways, you can view his performance here.

the other very very very very entertaining speakers on that night were of course assoc. prof kirpal singh (the turbanator) and ruby pan. someone in the commitee should take up Pro Kirpal Singh’s idea of making babies as a national service liao. and yes, ruby pan. she brought the house down. i guess by now hundreds of blog posts had been written about her wonderful skit. i just had to join the bandwagon on this one too and just possibly because she might be dissing towards daniel ong. that is good enough for me. don’t ask why, i just haiti hate anything about him.

mr brown has clips for both acts on his site.

mr alex yu of yawning bread skit was interesting until that bloke from the other side of house starts slamming on the bench and giggling while probing questions, parliament style. it was a nice surprise though.

the only downer of performance was from this doooode sam wu, who talks nonsensical about being gay and all. this was the guy, while in the toilet kept asking *his partner* how he looked like. with individuals like him around, i will always have to be on my tenterhooks, but that will be another story.

anyways, i was like searching for malay songs and it is so difficult to locate them. it used to be from irc to get them but let’s be honest with ourselves here – who the freak still irc nowadays?! and so my trail goes on and on and on just to find those melayu mp3s. i was like so looking for the headwind song segala mungkin. zainal abidin’s voice is tha bomb man in that song.

and so as life suppose to live it up, i came across this site that distributes the songs. very nice. it has p.ramlee’s, sudirman’s, zainal’s, jamal’s and m. nasir’s. live it up!

H to the izz-O,
V to the izz-A,
Fo’ shizzle my nizzle,
he’s gonna play in Suntek CT aye?

Dibs.

imma having fever since last weekend. strange fever this is, not as severe as my *normal* fever, but definately this is the longest. it has not died down yet and it’s freaking me out.

because of the condition, this doc did not give me the normal Paracetamol, but this muscle relaxant thingy wingy. i was, “yo! wassup wif da pill?!”

but the nurse forced me to live it up. so i swallowed. twice. and the next thing i can see are tinkerbells and hummingbirds flying beside me. man, this is almost as good as the morphine i received a few years back.

and i’ve been popping this thing for the past few days, for every four hours.

nice.

but don’t misunderstand. yes, i am a mat and mats always have a thing for freaky fetishes. i don’t know why. other than chandu, i figured most of the intoxicants here in singapore are started out by mats. glue lah, ganja lah, and now this subutex. they’re very innovative to get a kick when no one suspects of the item beforehand. hell, the might even drink petrol if the dire kicks in.

no one predicted subutex to be very class a until the mats make it very big recently. but as i say, mats being the ever innovative, they might stamp on these muscle relaxants as the new substance before anybody notices it. just, a reminder.
