Big Black Book

I'm sure most of you haven't heard of Tron before. For the rest of you who have seen and loved Tron as a child of the 80's, here's the Light Cycle.

The Light Cycle you see here is one of only two in existence. It was put up on display by Disney at Comic-Con behind a replica storefront of Kevin Flynn's Arcade.







Wiki says,

Tron is a 1982 science fiction film by Disney. It stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn (and his program counterpart inside the electronic world, Clu), Bruce Boxleitner as Tron and his User Alan Bradley, Cindy Morgan as Yori and Dr. Lora Baines, and Dan Shor as Ram. David Warner plays all three main antagonists: the program Sark, his User Ed Dillinger, and the voice of the Master Control Program. It was written and directed by Steven Lisberger. Tron has a distinctive visual style, as it was one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively.

Finally, just got a chance to watch it last two weeks. The first two tries failed because ticket sales were skyrocketing and we weren't able to get tickets for it. Currently, even after two weeks, it was still a sell-out! For a non-hardcore Transformers fan, it was one hella movie! There's more jokes in this version than the first installment and there's a lot more action scenes this time. However, I still love the first one better as it has a lot more 'feel' to it. The anticipation that something is going to happen and the whole journey to the climax was just missing in this movie. It's just missing that 'woah' factor that the first movie has. Nevertheless Revenge of the Fallen gets a 3.5/5 stars from me.




This has got to be my favourite of the three. It's a lot more mature and there's Buck! Don't know who he is? He's one funny fella. Imagine Jack Sparrow reincarnated as a possum. Yes seriously Buck is a possum with a Jack Sparrow attitude. He's eccentric, adventurous and above all a possum. Nothing much to be said about this movie except it got me laughing from the start till the end. I love the 'I don't speak wind' and laughing gas scene. The 'losing altitude' was another memorable one. LOL.




It was a 3 hour long journey into a world filled with magic. But this time around, it was not just magic. The stench of death and impending doom was all around. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince or HP6 (I wonder what's with Malaysian and numbers.. They even have to label Terminator and Fast and Furious for us.) I prefer movies with these kind of themes rather than those which would cater to a younger audience. To me, who's not a HP6 book reader (I stopped at HP4, Goblet of Fire), the movie was good but I was disappointed as I was waiting for the big fight that did not come. According to my sources, a lot of scenes that were not from the book was cut/added into the movie. So there was actually a big fight at the end but it wasn't put into the movie. I'm waiting for the last one, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The haze in Kampar is seriously getting very bad. There's like a white layer over every building and hill. People, do drink more water. I have the I'm-getting-sick-soon feeling already because of the haze. Can we just install a industrial size blower/fan/tsunami/tornado/hurricane generator and blow all the smog back to Indonesia? This is another inconsiderate neighbour..

*my spark plugs ignited*
*pistons starts to accelerate*
*me engine roared past its redline*
ROOOOAAAARRRRRR!!!

Went back in to the house.
Switched on the laptop.
Logged in to Facebook.

Lucky I did not decide to cycle..

With so many technological advancement, I'm still getting last minute cancelation. I wasn't the only one receiving this. Me lady's class was canceled a few times just before the class started, her's was worse, it was an 8a.m class and she was already in campus, luckily it wasn't her only class on that day.

Hello UTAR, can you please inform us earlier? Not all of us are driving to campus. Most of us are cycling and some of us struggled to get up the fully packed bus to come to campus. Please be more considerate. We are paying you money. Do think of us.

Drums of war are roaring once again...


The air is filled with tension..


Soldiers are trained..


Swords are sharpen..


Bows are strung..


Machines of war are constructed..


What can an observer do to stop this war without making it a three-way fight?

I found this piece in Youtube by kylelandry to be simply amazing! Crank up the volume & enjoy!

I beginning to get addicted to piano pieces.

I was minding my own business and playing Mafia Wars on Facebook, doing the usual stuff ; Doing jobs, trying to get loot & collection items and fighting random people. Then suddenly I spied something with my lil eye.. Of all the funny advertisements on Facebook, I found this to be the most eye-popping one. What does it say? F-Cup Cookies. Yes that dirty mind of yours got it right. It's supposed to increase the size of your bust and best of all it looks like your normal chocolate bar except for the packaging of course.

So for bigger n fuller bust, munch down on some F-Cup Cookies now.

Most likely this is a gimmick and I doubt if it'll really work..
Chocolate.. Bust.. LOL! I find it rather amusing..

The Liar

Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows
Shall they dangle in the night?

When I asked of your career
Why did you have to kick my rear
With that stinking lie of thine
Proclaiming that you owned a mine?

When you asked to borrow my stallion
To visit a nearby moored galleon
How could I ever know that you
Intended to turn him into glue?

What red devil of mendacity
Grips your soul with such tenacity?
Will one you cruelly shower with lies
Put a pistol ball between your eyes?

What infernal serpent
Has lent you his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Are all these whoppers sprung?

Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows
Do they dangle in the night?

~William Blake (1810)

Now who the hell told me Business and Corporate Law was easy and interesting?

With the effects of global warming getting more severe as time passes, many parties have everything in their power to keep the temperature in control. The Parliament passes bills which promotes reduction of carbon emissions and also amends those with loopholes. NGOs organise campaigns to educate the people on the cause and effects of global warming. Recycling became a trend for most household. The people started to carpool and use more public transport. Greenpeace is still hugging trees.

Now we have a brothel in Berlin giving discounts to customers who arrive with bicycle. You'll get a 5-Euro discount if you come with a bicycle. A 70-Euro ($87.84) for a 45 minute session will be down to 65-Euro ($90.85) for the same duration. It also applies to the 15 minute session where you originally have to pay 30-Euro ($41.91) if you arrive in a GTi, M3 or a AMG 55, but if you were to arrive with a BMX (Not a BMW mind you.) it'll only cost you a measly 25-Euro ($34.93).

So by cycling to the Berlin brothel, not only will you have a healthy body, you'll also have a 5-Euro discount! Sweet deal right? So what are you waiting for? Get a bike n start cycling!

Oh for those who needs to know or for those who are in Berlin, the name of the place is Maison d'Envie.

Remember the episode on Discovery Channel about how the Mayans built their structures with reference to the sun?

They aligned it so perfectly that at certain times of the year, the sun ray would make a perfectly straight diagonal line across the temple floor and touches the corner where the two walls meet. They did it without calculators and precision tools. It was so awesome and bergaya till some fellas actually theorise that their temples were built by aliens. Yeah transformers... Another fine example would be the Stonehenge.

That was back then. Give it a lil modern twist and you'll get Manhattanhenge.

Wiki says,

"At sunset, a traveler along one of the north-south avenues on the West Side looking east can observe the phenomenon indirectly, being struck by the reflected light of the many windows which are aligned with the grid. An observer on the East Side can look west and see the Sun shining down a canyon-like street."

It can be seen on any street in Manhattan which follows the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, which laid out a grid offset 28.9 degrees from true east-west. This usually happens on May 28 and July 12 or July 13. This year it happened on the 12th.

Now this is quite an interesting idea and I can guarantee there are some young extreme motorheads who will be dumping their summer odd job earnings into a couple of sessions at this joint.

The 6thGear Experience allows anyone to drive a choice of their 4 models of supercars, as long as you are over 4 feet and 10 inches tall and can reach the pedals! The ultimate amusement park, it seems, and with the advent of clutchless transmissions even in the world of pure hardcore supercars, it’s easier than ever for anyone to just go fast in a straight line in one. All of 6thGear Experience’s cars are automatic.

The four cars available are the Aston Martin DB9, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, the Ferrari F360 Spider, and the Audi R8. They have a mix of the 4 models but 15 in total. The drop top Gallardo is the most expensive one on the list with a price tag of £140,000 to purchase but there’s no better way to experience the raging bull V10 than with the top down.

Every drive is supervised by a fully trained and experienced instructor who is skilled at drving and have been checked by the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) to certify them for working with youngers. You don’t want any dodgy person in a car alone with your youngster would you? 6thGear Experience reports that most kids reach an average speed of about 56km/h while driving the cars - must be too intimidating to go further, but some with practice and confidence have reached higher speeds.

Each ride starts from £89 for 10 - 15 minutes driving in one of the four cars above on a specially coned circuit. Hot laps are also available for £20 where you are taken for a ride (you don’t drive) in the Lamborghini as a passenger while a qualified driver/instructor drives the car around the track.

From Paultan

If I were a girl, even just for a day,
I'd roll out of bed in the morning,
And take one hour of shower,
And take 1 hour to put on make up,

Then another for the hair,
I'd call up all my cliques,
And yak about this n that, boys n girls all day,
Cause my boy spins money

If I were a girl,
I think I have lots of fans,
Who thinks I'm beautiful,
I swear I'd be Miss World '09...

No it's not an official day. I just got back from dinner and everyone was replacing words in their sentences with the word 'bra'.

So it's a bra bra day. I bet Ali-bra-bra would be proud.
