Haven't updated in a while.

No, i haven't been bought by be-end yet. Just...uninspired.

Won't be reviewing any run of the mill film from now on. Just those which standout.

Speaking of which, Doubt was awesome. Cast was deserving of Oscar nominations and should have won at least one, Streep especially. Powerful performance, watch it if you can.

Have linked to Product of The System's blog. Well worth a read on the dejected and truly shocking state of affairs in healthcare in my home state of Sabah. My heart goes out to the poor souls who had been under the knife of those foreign doctor Mengels.

I shall do my upmost to speak up for my fellow Sabahan, thanks doc for the encouragement.

Yamato YF-19 1/60 scale is now MINE!

a very long wait is finally over. took me 12 years, but i now have one.

ever since watching the Macross Plus ova wayy in 1996, i've always wanted a fully transforming toy of the super-sleek yf-19 prototype fighter.

and last Saturday, that wish has been granted. after paying the second half of the installment at Time Machine shop at times square, i resisted the urge to shout for joy.

words cannot describe how happy i am...after i got home, time was spent fiddling, transforming, displaying etc. reading the manual, watching the transformation video guide, opening cockpits..woo, very very impressed. wayy better than my broken hip vf-11..

i left mine displayed in fighter mode with the main undercarriage down, front cockpit opened, pending the acquiring of the macross base to properly display it in the flying pose.

can't stop grinning from ear-to-ear, cant help it!

thank you Yamato, thank you Time Machine for making this hardcore Macross fan's dream come true.

i'm still grinning, hehe... ^_^

Shut Your Gap Shi*hir
written by Stop The Nonsense, November 25, 2008

Malaysians are not greedy. They just have stupid so called leaders. It's destructive to bring down prices quickly - destructive to whose pockets? So you mean it's fuc*ing CONSTRUCTIVE to the citizens for the fuel price to increase by 78 cents overnight???? Shut your gap if you don't have a brain to first process what you want to say. WHEN THE STUPID GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SPEND, THEY REDUCE OUR EPF INTEREST PAYOUT, INCREASE OUR MONTHLY TAXABLE AMOUNT AND WHATEVER NOT. SO WHEN THE GOVERNMENT CAUSES HIGH INFLATION RATES, WHERE THE HELL DO THE CITIZENS FIND THE EXTRA MONEY TO COVER THEIR EXPENSES? THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO INCREASE ALL OUR SALARIES?

The natural resources of this country belongs to the citizens. So how come only PETRONAS is benefiting from it and none of the citizens are enjoying any of the perks that come with the resources? Why should we be taxed on things that belong to us while only certain individuals enjoy the full benefits; including the government. If that's the case, we shouldn't be paying income tax since we're being taxed on our natural resources.

You might argue that every other country in this world impose taxes on their citizens. BUT AT LEAST THE PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONS ENJOY FAR BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS WITH MUCH HIGHER BUYING POWER. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T REALISE, THE RINGGIT IS BECOMING RUBBISH.

I don't mind paying taxes, but WHERE THE HELL DOES ALL OUR MONEY GO TO? IF YOU SAY OUR TAX RATE IS MUCH LOWER AND OUR GOVERNMENT HAS LESS MONEY TO SPEND, HOW COME OUR MINISTERS CAN LIVE JUST AS LAVISHLY AS MINISTERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES???????????? OUR TAX MONEY CANNOT GIVE US BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION? BETTER SECURITY? THEN THE MINISTERS SHOULD STOP GOING AROUND IN BRAND NEW MERCEDES VEHICLES, LIVE IN APARTMENTS, SHOP AT HYPERMARKETS AND SO ON. IF THE LIVES OF MALAYSIAN CITIZENS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO ENJOY ALL THESE, IT SHOULD ALSO BE THE CASE FOR THE MINISTERS SINCE WE ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR EVERYTHING THEY EARN AND OWN.

OUR DAMN BUDGET HAS TRIPLED SINCE 10 YEARS AGO. HOW MANY OF YOU OUT THERE CAN SAY THE SAME FOR YOUR SALARIES. IF THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TRIPLE THE BUDGET IN ORDER TO 'RUN' THE COUNTRY, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CITIZENS DO NOT NEED TRIPLE THEIR SALARIES TO SURVIVE. IT'S TIME WE STOPPED CUTTING DOWN ON WHAT WE HAVE JUST SO SOME MORONS CAN HAVE MORE.

2) 2 perkara/habit yang tidak diketahui/ganjil tentang diri anda.

• orang lain sangat tak minat subjek sejarah, tapi saya sgt suka terutama nya sejarah tentera (military history). tarikh & fakta sangat mudah diterima otak saya. tak jemu menghayati sejarah pelbagai subjek, find it very fascinating & interesting. sampai saya org pertama kluar dari bilik peperiksaan kertas abeskan paper sejarah SPM, sebab laju sgt (breeze thru jer), smp dapat credit, hehe..

• walk, yes; run, no: mempunyai stamina berjalan kaki jarak jauh, tanpa penat sangat atau berpeluh berlebihan. bakat diasah sejak time skolah tingkatan, dimana saya da biasa berjalan pergi balek dr skolah & umah. sebab tu sy amat suka hiking & slalu pegi bila dpt peluang.

3) 3 tabiat buruk anda masa sekolah.

• minat lebih dr 1 awek. dlm kelas sendiri, & kat luar. hebat bukan.

• semasa menjadi pengawas waktu sgt singkat, pernah membantu rakan kelas merosak kan pokok skolah, smp kena hentam om (gelaran org tua yg berasal dr negeri timor, indonesia) tukang jaga skolah, hehe.

• main ting-tong (game arked) smp ketagih. dengan sokongan bernas sepupu baek yg menjadi sifu saya. tapi tak la smp ponteng kelas.
