Approaching Zero!

Yahoo News posted this. An artist did zero dollar bill to protest about the breakdown of American Economy.

My only problem with this is that it's the wrong president on the bill.

brace yourself

What the Point of this Question?

Ought to be shot

Recently, there a TV spot for The Clone Wars on Channel 5 and MediaCorp send this media artist over to Japan to cover the Gala Premiere. This reporter got travel all the way to Japan (yes! I was drooling at the perks that he was enjoying) to interview the Singaporean fans who traveled all the way there, the voice behind C3PO and the director.

What stood out for this interview session was this question that the reporter asked the director... "If Miss Piggy and Yoda got into a fight, who will win the fight (or something along that line)"

On one hand, I know that he is trying to be "funny" and the linkage that the original Yoda and Miss Piggy are from the puppet family and Frank Oz but it really felt that he didn't really done any proper research for the movie or ask the relevant question.

Would a fan of Star Wars be interested in such a silly match up? I am not really a big fan of Star Wars (after what had happened with EP 1 2 3 and the over squeezing of cash Cows incidents) but this kind of question would definitely not help generate any interest for this film either.

It also reminded me that my friends were complaining about the spoiler issue that a reporter posted an Today article about the Dark Knight. Not only did she gave away a major turn of event that came so unexpectedly, she also went on, blabbering on about writing a marriage proposal to Christian Bale ...WTF! a guy who is married since 2000

These two incidents just made me shake my head in despair ... there are fans who are really interested to know more interesting and useful information (without veering off to spoilish land). I can't believe that there are major companies that actually spend the money on people, send them so far to ask this kind of pointless question and editors who actually approved these kind of questions. What a bloody waste of money!

Tomorrow is a special Day !!!

it's the day that my cheese turn mouldy !!!

the same cheese that I bought months ago (back in Jan) becos my friend promise me to teach me how to make the frame Tomato Cheese Baked Rice that I loved at Kim Gary but after numerous times of failed attempts to actually used it, it's actually expiring !!! Tomorrow !

it's like watching my 5 bucks turning green right before my eyes!!!

Edison's Sex Scandal

Me think this is The Dumbest PR move after a Scandal



Some Points to note
1 - Strange Ordeal? Shouldn’t it be Scandal instead? don't downplay it

2 – Although some thought he admitted it, but if you hear him out carefully, he did not admit those pictures are real or are from his collection.

3 – Assuming those pictures are real and not photo chopped, I don't think the pix were posted because they are internationally hurtful and malicious ... it's more of the sharing mentality of the internet community and any hurtful or malicious actions were actually caused by "who ever" that snap those pix ... it should be that person who took those pictures that apologize.

4 - Quite naive that he think the audience will do as he asked ... unless he got the Jedi trick on his sleeve but I think it only works with gullible female stars . I think it will be more effective if he curses the pictures like how videotapes in Ringu were cursed ... like that more effective

5 – And need to add some emotions to it … sound like he is reading and does not translate his sincerity well. Come on, you been a few films before …. Surely you can do better than that?

Afterthoughts ... If I am the dad of any of the victims and is a triad leader as rumored ... I will most likely hire a killer to kill the one who took the pictures and a few heads that distribute it ... like that can send warning to those who are still downloading the pictures or forwarding the pictures ... like that will be more effective that this video "plead" message

sleep some more

Was driving my Mom around when she complained to me about my Dad; how he could sleep at night, wake up late in the morning and nap again in the afternoon. It seems that he is almost sleeping non-stop.

At the spur of the moment, with no malice intend and just a friendly poke at him ... I said

"He must be training for the eventual eternal sleep"

the capacity of the human mind

Went to catch a surprise screening with Stefan and CK. While waiting, a group came in and sat beside me. When they were walking in, I sort of guess that it's likely that the bunch will talk during the movie and true enough, the couple beside me started yakking early on in the movie ...

initially, it was the thrill of figuring out what the movie was (The MIST)... even Stefan gave a "yahoo" when the movie title came up so I kept my peace but as the movie went on, so did the constant yakking beside me.

I thought I was the only one who was trying to keep my cool and I was rather surprise to find that Stefan and I both turned to the couple at the same time to hush them ... he gave the "shhhh" and I told them nicely to pls stop talking.

they were quiet for a while but before long, they had to say something to each other. I was thinking of making a move to the seats in front but as the movie had chaos going on and their background noise were folks speaking, so it didn't bother me that much.

Then something happened which amused me instead of irritated me ...

A gun appear on the screen and the guy beside me utter

"GUN"

Then when an Axe appeared ... he said "AXE" like it was a discovery of something special

I was so tempted to ask him ... why he couldn't keep his thoughts in ah ? of cos it's a gun and an axe ... so bloody obvious .... is this brain capacity so small that he can't help saying the obvious ???

then I heard "Spider" from him which almost cause me to laugh out loud. For once a talker amused me instead of irritating me

Unleashed

Just after watching The HeartBreak Kid, which featured one henpecked husband who was kept on a modern leash (aka via a handphone) by his wife , my friend picked up the phone to call his girlfriend that I quickly identify as The Leash and made this comment

"So your gf also keep on you a leash huh?"

his reply was

"at least I got one ... do you have a leash ???"

our dodgy friendship was so over-ed then and there

Have you been Enlighten ?

While planning a trip with my friend during the CNY, he brought up the dangers of traveling to a "not so advance and safe" country. I replied to him that in life, if it's meant to be, that no escaping, so don't worry too much.

To which, he started telling me this story about a monk traveling down a mountain / hill in a van. The driver was driving dangerously close to the edge of the winding road in a racing speed and it seems that every so often, the whole van might just drive off the mountain/hill.

The Monk then tell the driver to drive safely and slow down.

The Driver then told the Monk, "In Life, everything's fated and in God's hand... if you are meant to die by falling off the mountain, it's just meant to be"

at this point, I asked my friend ... so was the Monk "enlighten" by the Driver's reply

my friend's reply was ....




"FUCK YOU !!! if I die, it was because of your DRIVING SKILL"

My Lousy Attempt at Icebreaker with my Dad

Was chatting with my Mom at the dinning table . When She was pondering over some things that I told her, I turned and saw my Dad reading the obituary section of the newspaper.

My Dad and I never really speak to each other (at least not that often compare to My Mom and I) so I decided to make the effort and try to break the barrier between the both of us.

and my silence breaker line to him was :" Looking for Friends ah?"

It was hard for us not to laugh at something that sound so wrong

Today: "the most insulting yet amusing thing i ever said"

Had a heated discussion about the Transformer movie and being on the side of minority that hated this movie, I was getting upset that how come people will enjoy a movie with such a crappy storyline (trashing review coming later)

the guy who is getting the bare end of my aggressiveness was my "younger brother" ... I always poke fun of the type of movies that he is and is not interested in ... (fri "For Reader Information", He loves those big bang boom action flicks while shun away those long winded drama rama films)

after a while, we shifted to another movie as it seems that we are getting no where with Transformer ... and the next movie we talked about was Die Hard, we were talking which sequel was better and which is not ... and I told him about Tears of the Sun which was supposed to be Die Hard 4

His reply was quite immediate and he stated: "I don't like it!"

I was still in the aggression mode from the Transformer debate and I reacted/shot back at him

"Why? Is it because there too much storyline for you?"

hehehe ... we had a good laugh but he point out to me that I was being extremely rude ... hahah

How Far is Hong Kong to U ?

Sometimes, one can be really humbled by other people's wealth ... We were chatting about our financial status and taking a dig at each other's wallet ... I was pointing out to my younger brother that he is so much richer than me that he could afford so many overseas trip in a year ... in less than a year, he been to Australia, just came back from Japan and going to Hong Kong SOON !!! wah liew

and then he drop the ultimate bombshell on me ...

"Going to Hong Kong is like going to Jurong (for me)"
