Fox vs Angie vs Arthur

A quick poll to begin with.

Who's your sexy?

The robot loving Fox? - who has often been compared to actress Angelina Jolie, with the media dubbing her as "next Angelina Jolie".

Fox has been compared to Jolie because they each have a "tattoo collection", and status as a "built in sex-symbol".

a

a

a
Or the now thick lipped & charitable Angelina Jolie - who has adopted kids from 3rd world countries?


a
a
a

I've done a similiar poll on Facebook, yielding outrageous comments! LOL. Somebody even described Megan to be a "Plastic Blonde What the Fuck".
a
Nasty enough "Plastic Blonde" ... she calls Fox, Plastic Blonde What the Fuck. LOL... not that im denying it though. HAHAHAH
a
a
a
a
Anyway, fuck the mainstream celebs.

There's something more sexy in town today. Someone iconic, someone in town to celebrate his 250th Birthday - Arthur Guinness.

Arthur Guinness was the founder of the Guinness brewery business, an entrepreneur, visionary and philanthropist. Guinness laid the foundations for Guinness Brewery. At 27, in 1752, Guinness's godfather Arthur Price, Archbishop of Cashel, bequeathed him £100 in his will. Guinness put the money to good use and in 1755 had a brewery at Leixlip, just 17 km from Dublin. In 1759, Guinness went to the city and set up his own business. He got a 9,000 year lease on the four-acre brewery at St. James's Gate from Mark Rainsford for an annual rent of £45 - wikipedia.org

I say this fucker got Chinese blood. How did he manage to negotiate for a 9,000 year lease at an annual fee of 45 pounds.... lol.

After being quiet for 250 years, Arthur Guinness has decided to come to the town again and party! warming up for his 250th birthday celebration at Sunway Lagoon, where the Black Eyed Peas will be performing.

After 250 years, Arthur has lost some height.. gained weight from drinking Guinness and to look young again, coloured his hair black.

a
He has also caught on with technology... and he Twitters through his iPhone.

a

Looks like he gets attracted to the Apple.

a
a

I got a feeling... that tonite's gonna be a good nite... that tonite's gonna be a good good nite!

Tiger's Tmusic concert

a
a
As a Chinese illiterate, you tend to find Chinese songs generally emo because they generally sing very emotional songs that are related to love triangles, break-ups, long distance relationships, heartaches and stuff like that. And to make it more emo, the guys especially, tend to shuffle between their masculine & feminine voices.

Once I was in a cab and the cab driver was this Chinese guy who was singing to a very emo Cantonese break-up song he was blasting in his cab. If the solo didn't come on to take over the vocals, I wouldn't have been here to write this blog. Point is, they are so emo they can cause road accidents.

Anyway, this is my personal stand on Chinese music and you can chose to have your own views but i've kept my distance from Chinese music. The only time i hear em is when im at the karaoke with my colleagues and when im in Taiwanese or Hongki restaurants.

However, i made a leap of faith yesterday by attending the first Chinese concert in my life... i get more than aggitated listening to 1 Chinese track but yesterday, i attended 5 hours of such music. Well, because Tiger organizes really cool events so i thought id be there to check out the atmosphere and get a taste of an Asian concert.

Got there at about half pass 8 and the corner of the stadium that was catering for the concert was packed. PACKED & sweaty ... and loud.... especially with alot of young girls screaming to their idols & singing along with glass breaking high pitches.

I had a bad feeling about this but nevertheless, we made our way into the RM168 corner to our assigned seats.. which isnt VVIP but a pretty premium location relatively. We never quite got there and retreated. The young girls proved too vocally dangerous.

So we got up 2 levels and chose to settle here... where we could smoke, have our own space, have the breeze blowin in from the open space behind and move around however we like. Well, the area didnt look too pleasant but we thought much better than be sardined within a sea of young girls and get no ventilation.
a
a
a
The view was pretty aite from up here.

a
a
The concert took off with alot of soft shell boys singing to very high pitch songs. One of em looked like peter pan with the hat, brown hair and big round eyes.


u
a

There was also a Thai who sang a Thai, English & Mandarin track. Nothing special about his performance the the girls adored his looks.

u
u
u
Tiger beer also set up a mammoth tent right beside the stage. Dont quite know what it was hosting.. assumed that they had Tiger beer on sale.. but too big a risk to take as it would have meant a 1 KM walk from where we were stationed.

u
u
u
More and more emo tracks came on... this lady even had a Asian Sesame Street band dancing at the background.




h
a
d
The situation didnt quite improve until Power Station came on... or better known as Tong Li Huo Che.... For once, somebody took the stage with guitars, drums a keyboard and proper sound system. Despite some initial technical problems, they stormed the stage making music and brought life to the whole environment. Previously, it was all noise.
a

a

d
d
They also got short hair now and they look clean.. unlike who we knew them for

d
d
d
After 6 to 7 tracks, Power Station backed out from the stage to make way for other performers. Not only did they leave with all their equipments, they left with the power as well.

It was a blackout at Tmusic. The cabels that were lying on the stadium tracks went in flames and probably caught the attention of all concert attendees.

d
d
d
Everyone got restless, including this lady who took her paper to somewhere with lights.
a

a

d
d
The ground staff working hard to clear off the hazard.

d
d

The situation was tensed, people were deciding whether they should stay on or not, but i think 99% did as their idols were still backstage - mainly David Tao & Justin Lo.

The organizers also did their bit to keep the crowd entertained while they ferry in alternative power. It was quite lame but they brought out David Tao so he could sing the chorus of his popular "Ai hen jien dan" on the loud hailer. I didnt look very promising but they kept it goin


a

i
a
And signs of a revival came.
a

a

k
More and more lights came on.
a
a
a
a
And it was soon back to normal in time for Justin Lo & David Tao.


Well all in all, i did enjoy 3 - 4 tracks from Power Station, David Tao & Justin Lo... and even if i didnt quite enjoy the rest, i thought the blackout was quite and experience! ahha..
Anyway, thanks to Tiger beer for this concert

Who's the man?

a
a
The man who's on the large, put on the radars of Interpol, most wanted man in Malaysia has hit back at the Malaysian media with now, webisodes!

If his hands were not tied, he wud've prolly been the Obama of Malaysia, the man of "Change", the man who's embraced what the dinosaurs call "New media", what the new generation calls "My life".

If words isnt enough for him to speak his mind, he's now just shot the new generation format of TV episodes called, Webisodes. Short clips in nature to cater for this new generation of selective hearing & short attention spanned people and fucking teases you to wanna hack into his computer to watch the subsequent webisode. With that said, broadcasted only on the internet.






RPK went on the lam in April when he failed to turn up for his sedition trial. There is also a second warrant of arrest issued against him for failing to turn up for his criminal defamation trial. Despite being a fugitive, RPK continues to speak his mind and remains a thorn in the side of the administration of Najib.



Now on a less political side of things, this is like discovering tressure in KL!!! The traditional Sarawakian "dried noodles" with swine meat, minced swine meat & swine oil.

'Bo'Sex

a

The older generation of Guinness drinkers in Malaysia congregated at the Mines Resort for a Gala dinner and a communial toast to Arthur Guinness, in conjunction with his 250th birthday. Arthur's the man! ppl still celebrate his birthday more than a decade after his demise - and he's just a brewer. I dont remember ppl celebrating (in such a global scale) birthdays of past prime ministers who have built countries or saints who have brought life to thousands.

Since it's the older generation of drinkers, the dinner didnt have rock bands performing, neither street performances nor international celebrities. It did have a drum performance, an umbrella performance and an opera singer. Of course a pretty Chinese host and plenty of sexy Guinness promoter girls. The uncles loved it!

a
a
a
They were ever so willing to get their temperatures checked!!

a
a
a
After a week of Guinness, i had the chance to fly back to my hometown, Miri over the Merdeka weekends to chill a bit. Get rid of some stress, and detox from Guinness.
a
At the airport when i landed, i saw a native carrying a backpack, with his name written on it. It was attracting some attention, especially amongst the Chinese youngsters so i got close to check it out. LOL
a
a
a
'Bo'Sex in Hokkien means "I dont get sex".
a
a
And he better watch out because Bonia might just take the opportunity to sue him since McDonald's is sueing McCurry. Bonia, "If McDonald's can sue McCurry over the infringement of 'Mc', why can't i sue Bosex over the infringement of 'Bo'"
a
a

Miri has a popular dish for tea time. Comprises of fried bean curd, squid, cucumber, pine-apple & water chestnut. You eat it with a peanuty sweet sauce - Rojak. My friend from KL tried it, he didn't like it. But it's a helluva dish for the Mirians. Im ok wit it, but dont like it as much as i did in the past.
a

And you do not leave Miri without GOOD seafood

Nabi Isa = Jesus Christ

a

Isa (عيسى) merupakan seorang nabi yang penting dalam agama Islam. Dalam Kitab Suci Al Qur'an, ia digelar Isa ibni Maryam atau Isa al-Masih. Kata ini diperkirakan berasal dari bahasa Aram, Eesho atau Eesaa. Jesus Christ adalah nama yang umumnya diguna pakai oleh pengganut Kristian untuk menyebutnya, sedangkan orang Arab Kristian menyebutnya dengan Yasu' al-Masih (يسوع المسيح).

Source: Wikipedia.org

Tranlated to English: Isa (Jesus Christ) is a very important prophet to the Islam faith. In the Quran, Isa is referred to as Isa ibni Maryam or Isa al-Masih (Aram language). Jesus Christ is the official name of Nabi Isa in the Christian context. The Arab Christians refer to Jesus Christ as Yasu' al-Masih.
a
z
a
The point here is, Nabi Isa = Jesus Christ. I've never read the Quran but i have friends who practise Islam and they tell me that Nabi Isa is a very important prophet, as stated in the Quran.

So peace be with all the Christians & Muslims, there is NO NEED to wage 'Holy wars' or incite hatred between the 2 religions. We believe in the same GOD, Allah and we believe in the same prophet, Nabi Isa / Jesus Christ. We have so much in common.

Evil has been ripping the 2 religions appart and if you are true to your religion, you should believe in harmony more than any other causes. I bring this up because of this disturbing article on CNN.

In the court filing, Rifqa Bary stated her father said, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" The teenager claims her father added, "I will kill you!"


Muslim teen fears for life after changing religion

(CNN) -- A Muslim teenager from Ohio says her father threatened to kill her because she converted to Christianity.

Rifqa Bary claims her father wants her dead after she converted to Christianity.

Rifqa Bary, 17, ran away from her family in Columbus, Ohio, in July and took refuge in the central Florida home of the Rev. Blake Lorenz with the Global Revolution Church in Orlando.


The teen heard of the pastor and his church through a prayer group on Facebook. The girl's parents reported her missing to Columbus police, who found her two weeks later in Florida through cell phone records.

The teenager, in a sworn affidavit, claims her father, Mohamed Bary, 47, was pressured by the mosque the family attends in Ohio to "deal with the situation." In the court filing, Rifqa Bary stated her father said, "If you have this Jesus in your heart, you are dead to me!" The teenager claims her father added, "I will kill you!"
Mohamed Bary told CNN a lot of false information has been given and "we wouldn't do her harm." He knew his daughter was involved with
Christian organizations.

"I have no problem with her practicing any faith," he said, but Bary admitted he would have preferred his daughter to practice the Muslim faith first.

Although Mohamed Bary said he did not expect his daughter to run away, Rifqa Bary was placed in foster care by an Orlando judge in August while the Florida Department of Children and Family investigated the threat allegations against the parents.

Set Kartika Free!




Malaysia has long tried to cultivate the image of being a moderate Muslim state that can serve as a model for others. Particularly in the wake of the attacks on the United States in September 2001, successive prime ministers have worked hard to ensure that Malaysia would remain on the list of moderate Muslim states that could serve as the bridge between the Western and Muslim worlds.


Today, that image stands to take a significant pounding, thanks to a relatively isolated incident that has managed to grab headlines worldwide: A Malay-Muslim woman by the name of Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno is set to be caned for the offence of drinking alcohol in public. Kartika's case has bedevilled lawmakers of Malaysia for the simple reason that nobody seems to know what to do about it.


Kartika was found guilty of drinking beer in Pahang. The religious authorities in the state found her guilty of committing a syariah offence, and she was fined and sentenced to six strokes of the cane. Kartika herself pleaded guilty to the charges. But what baffles many observers is that the former model said she was prepared to be caned, and what is more, to be caned in public.


Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has asked if Malaysia would celebrate its independence day (on Aug 31) with the caning of a Muslim woman. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has himself asked Kartika to appeal against her sentence. Needless to say, the case has brought Malaysia to the world's attention for all the wrong reasons.


The problem that this case poses for Malaysia is complex. For a start, Kartika's case was handled by the Syariah Court of Pahang, raising the question of whether the federal government can intervene to save her.


Adding to the confusion is the problematic and complicated relationship between religion and politics in the country. The borderline between Islam and politics has grown increasingly blurred after three decades of state-driven Islamisation. The enfeebled ruling Umno is now trying its best to defend its own Islamic credentials in the face of the opposition PAS. At the same time, Umno would not like to gain the same reputation as the Taliban of Afghanistan.


PAS in turn is likewise split in its conscience, between moderates who wish to push the democratisation agenda and conservatives who want more Islamisation. Already in Selangor, where PAS came into power as part of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition, moral policing has been introduced by the conservative PAS leader Datuk Hasan Ali, who has called for religious functionaries to arrest Muslims who go against Islamic law.


PAS conservatives may feel that their electoral gains have given them the green light to further Islamise the country. They have thus called for a ban on the sale of alcohol and music concerts.


But in the wider context of international politics, Malaysia is looking more and more like a parochial state where books are banned and people are whipped for doing things that would be regarded as perfectly normal elsewhere.


Malaysia's conservative Islamists, their religious convictions notwithstanding, do not seem to understand why the international community is upset with the idea of a woman being caned for drinking a pint. Perak Mufti Harussani Zakaria, for instance, has wondered why a fuss should be made over a woman receiving six lashes when, in his opinion, she should be receiving 80 lashes.


It is this sense of disconnect that adds a surreal air to the goings-on in Malaysia today. The government is concerned that failure to enact Islamic law will compromise its standing in the eyes of conservative Muslims in the country. But to have Kartika caned would jeopardise the country's image internationally. Like it or not, Malaysia still depends on trade with the developed Western world, not Afghanistan.


This, then, is the dilemma that Malaysia faces at the moment, and there seems little consensus on how to proceed. Kartika's caning has been postponed for now. One thing, however, is certain: The costs of caning Kartika are simply too high. Should Malaysia cane her, it would have jumped one rung up the Islamisation ladder. After that, there may be no turning back. — Straits Times
