First off i watched lots of movies last year, no thanks to my DVD player. I’ve always been a huge fan of movies, but you know, these i hardly have time to relieve myself, let alone go to the cinema (and look for parking, queue for a ticket, wait for the show to start, sit through inane ads, etc) The other day i was wondering to myself which of the many movies stuck in my mind the most, but soon i realized that picking an ultimate list would be difficult, so i just picked the first one that came to mind, which would make it the most memorable. Ready or…

Rachel: Oh my God… What.. What are you guys doing here? Phoebe: Okay, you’re on. Rachel: What? What? Ross, you’re scaring me. What’s going on? Ross: Okay, the thing is.. Rachel: Yeah? Ross: Don’t go. Rachel: What? Ross: Please, please stay with me. I am so in love with you. Please, don’t go. Rachel: Oh my God. Ross: I know, I know. I shouldn’t have waited ’till now to say it, but I’m.. That was stupid, okay? I’m sorry, but I’m telling you now. I love you. Do not get on this plane. Gate attendant #2: Miss? Are you boarding the plane? Ross: Hey, hey. I know you love me.…

You know what? In a few months time, the whole world is going to go crazy with Harry Potter mania. Already now, J.K. Rowling’s hype machine is in full swing, gearing up for the release of the last (or so she says) book in the HP series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Although i’ve read all the books so far, i’m not particularly a fan, more of just to see ‘what all the fuss is about’. Everyone’s curious as to who are the main characters that Rowling will kill off and what will happened to Harry. But I know some things for sure. The following passages WILL DEFINITELY NOT…

Star: I need a new name for my new image – something that projects my personality and aura to my million of fans worldwide… Agent: Fans? What fans? Millions? Star: You know, all those teenage girls that watch my TV show, and that are going to buy my new music CD showing off my awesome undiscovered singing talent. Agent: (cough, cough) Talent? What talent? Sometimes some things should stay undiscovered. Weren’t you kicked out of the Korean Idol auditions 4 years in a row? Star: You should hear my new CD. My music is haunting yet beautiful, my recording company is talking about a tour to support the album. You…

High atop a craggy cliff, guarded by an army of fierce warriors stands the fortress of the evil warlord Akuma. Deep in the darkest dungeon of the castle Akuma gloats over his lovely captive, the princess Mariko. You are one trained in the way of karate: a Karateka. Alone and unarmed, you must defeat Akuma rescue the beautiful Mariko. Put fear and self-concern behind you. Focus your will on your objective, accepting death as a possibility. This is the way of the Karateka. Beat-’em-ups, of fighting games are the staple of PC games and consoles, a trend largely inherited from the coin-op arcade forefathers. On the consoles, you have dozens…

January 27th, Saturday, which was yesterday is remembered for a few things. Googling up ‘this day in history‘ i found some out some stuff that may or may not interest people stuck on a desert island in the pacific: 1880 – Thomas Edison patented the lightbulb. If not for him, we’d still be blogging with a kerosene lamp and / or candlelight. 1910 – The man who invented and developed the flush toilet mechanism that most of us use today, Thomas Crapper, died. That’s probably where were get the term ‘crap‘. And ‘holy crap‘. And ‘crappola‘. 1984 – Michael Jackson’s hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi…

Since it’s Friday, and i’ve nothing else to do, i’m going to plug some blog pinging services. We all know Project Petaling Street, it’s been around quite awhile. There were others that followed, some survived the first few months, some didn’t (remember PPS2? Project Kacang Kuda?). A few others that are still around are Planet Malaysia and sarawho. Both actually use RSS feeds, but also acts as a blog update service. The end result is pretty much the same with all the services – you update your blog, they’ll get to know about it and highlight it on their front page either through the RSS feed or an auto-pinger, or…

Top Ten Signs This Won’t Be a Great Chinese New Year for You Your neighbour’s kids have stockpiled enough fireworks to burn down a small island republic. You’re over 35 and not married. And you have 37 uncles and aunties who are extremely paat (nosy). Your parents home, where you’re gonna spend a week there, has no Astro, no internet connection, no DVD player. Only RTM1 and 2. Since last week, your parents have been dropping heavy hints that they are expecting a 12-course Chinese New Year dinner at the most expensive restaurant in town (Guess who’s paying…?). Last time you were here, your neighbour, who’s a pirated DVD kingpin,…

Last week’s post was all about real time strategy (RTS) games. Today, since the alignment of Jupiter and the moons are right, let’s talk about that other computer game genre, the FPS (that first person shooter, not frames per second). My very first FPS was undoubtedly the very first one released, Wolf 3D. I even played the sequel (more like extra levels, really) called Spear of Destiny. And of course, following Wolf 3D was the big one, Doom. I’ve you can’t imagine how it’s like, it’s worlds away from the realism of Counter-Strike and Halo 2. Doom was such a hit game that until today, all FPS are called Doom-clones.…

“Horrendous.” “What’s up, dawg?” “Ghastly.” “You’re the sweetest.” “Keeping it real, dude.” Yeah, baby, American Idol is BACK. In the interim months, you can have all those pretender filler shows like Aka-lamey Fantasia, or your One In A Million, but AMERICAN IDOL is the REAL DEAL, the big daddy of ‘em all. If you’re new the series, some things to look forward to… Simon Cowell’s man boobs bulging out of his tight, tight black baby tees. How has-been popstar Paula Abdul tries to keep sober every episode. Ryan Seacreast two day old stubble. (I can just hear the fanboys going “rowrrrrr…”) How many time per episode Randy Jackson does that…
