with every political party machine chugging full steam ahead, flooding the social media....its brilliant to observe the funny ones.... found out changing your black oil requires 6 person apparently Tun's face is not allowed in any banners.....

Apa Title?

Image
word of caution - read this objectively not emotionally ok . nothing is more irritating when people love to emphasize their material titles such as Tan Sri, Datuk Seri and whatever Seri'ness title in front of their name. And that includes all the academicians who love to put their awarded Doctor's ( which again, doesnt help anyone if i happen to bring them to any disaster/conflict areas ). you need to put your name first - then only put the P.H.D after your name. One of the candidate managed the country for 22 years, retired and now returning to the ring. Well of course - nobody is perfect, but with 22 years managing a country - there are ups and downs. here is a guy who pegged the Ringgit once, ensuring, nodding their heads to see and look where the hell is Malaysia. look here Like Sir Alex, his hair dryer and dictatorial stint ensuring the fans satiated for 22 years, filling the cabinets, successors after him crumbled. But managing a country and football team is

Point Break

Image
Remember this scene in Thor: Ragnarok? I love it, but not many people got it. Stark called Thor Point Break in the first Avengers. what is Point Break? Its 1991 film directed by Katheryn Bigelow. ( Interesting to know that she is one of many James Cameron ex's - who got unto the limelight for his Avengers fatigue comments ), anyway its due to Thor's Loreal locks who is similar to Patrick Swayze's hair. This is one of the many Joss Whedon's smart dialogue made the first Avengers fun.

Then and Now

Image
come, lets reflect. Tun Mahathir introduced Vision 2020 in 1991. Challenge 1: Establishing a united Malaysian nation made up of one Bangsa Malaysia (Malaysian Race). Challenge 2: Creating a psychologically liberated, secure and developed Malaysian society. Challenge 3: Fostering and developing a mature democratic society. Challenge 4: Establishing a fully moral and ethical society. Challenge 5: Establishing a matured liberal and tolerant society. Challenge 6: Establishing a scientific and progressive society. Challenge 7: Establishing a fully caring society. Challenge 8: Ensuring an economically just society, in which there is a fair and equitable distribution of the wealth of the nation. Challenge 9: Establishing a prosperous society with an economy that is fully competitive, dynamic, robust and resilient. Fast forward, Tun is competing back in the election now as an opposition. 

Avici/Avichi

Avichi is a Sanskrit or Pali word means the lowest level of the Naraka or "hell" realm, where there is no hope for anyone to be reborn. There is no supernatural being/human being or deity/belief system that determines anyone's FATE of its own WILL and everyone is RESPONSIBLE for their OWN actions and their consequences.

Ikea?

2018 - a Swedish furniture company selling our traditional food. Any reason why they cant focus selling furnitures? imagine a China tyre company selling  Soupe à l'oignon.

What is Inter-text?

Image
What is Intertext? Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text. It is the interconnection between similar or related works of literature that reflect and influence an audience's interpretation of the text. Read an image not "see".

Tauke Ayam

Image
Act 1 bela ayam kena "kasi makan" betul-betul!!! Why? Kalau ayam happy, kita dapat perah diorang cukup-cukup non-stop every day for 4-5 years.  Kalau tak selesa, ayam bising, apa takut - kita adjust rumah dia. Kasi besar sikit or kasi makan extra....diorang tidur la.. Kalau tak dapat telur, kita goreng dia.  Yabba Dabba Doooo!!!!

The Rendang Debate

Image
so a Masterchef participant got booted out as she cooked Rendang. The judges found out that the chicken skin is not crispy........the problem is Rendang doesnt need to have crispy chicken skin. If he wants crispy, then by all means head to KFC. Imagine these juries/chefs said that caviar supposed to be fried. See what happens. What if this idiot say Satay supposed to be medium rare or raw? Well i hope future participants in this reality cook show will feature our excellent budu, tempoyak, sambal belacan and cencalok. Lets see how these classical trained French chef/jury react. Lets see how post - postmodern you guys can be. Experiencing food is all about opening and experiencing your worldview, if we can learn how to spell, pronounce, learn and appreciate French cuisine....then all of the world deserves a chance right?

Masterclass : Spielberg

Image
respect your audience. In Ready Player One, Spielberg showed a masterclass by giving us who watched Kubrick's The Shining - a freaking suspense ( again ) while at the same time showing not telling to audiences who DIDN'T watch the excellent film.  Dumb directors will tell/explain to audience to look for everything. If we tell, then no need to do films. Write a fucking letter, do a radio drama instead! second - a solid 40 minutes of rampage, sand, bullets and blood and gore. There is no time for any introductory dialogues. We are thrust unto visceral experience in Saving Private Ryan. Just like in The Shining, we kept guessing who and what is happening to Jack. And the fucking photo in the hallway...........blew my mind and lingers in my mind.  third - terror by not showing in Jaws.
