No! Don’t Stop…

One of my favourite cartoon series is MASK. It was like 20 years ago.. I’ve been looking for its DVD/torrent for quite sometime.. Finally, thanks to Youtube.. all the episodes are available here..

So, recently i’ve been actively downloading the episodes to my ipod.. like always, my busy body little one would also want to watch it.. then I told him about the cartoon and how I used to own ‘Condor’ (my fave) and ‘Bullet’.. He seems now also addicted to it and requesting to watch the cartoon almost every nite.. His favourite character is Matt Trakker, MASK leader..

Yesterday, as he woke up in the morning.. he said to me..

+ : “Daddy, I mimpi VENOM caught me, then VENOM want to put me into fire.. But I punched him and turn to Power Ranger..”
- : [nothing to say]

[post note 20080926] - Jr was screaming last night and pushing everybody who wanted to comfort him… when asked if he had a bad dream, he agreed and blamed it to some robots trying to attack him..

Theme Song Lyrics

M-m-m-ma
M.A.S.K.!
Is the mighty power that can save the day,
M-m-m-ma
M.A.S.K.!
No one knows what lies beyond their masquerades,
M-m-m-ma
M.A.S.K.!
Always riding on Venom’s trail,
Come see the laser rays,
Fly away!

Nah.. not that West Wing for Red (aka Sulaiman) House…yeah.. the West Wing of White House in which was adapted in multiple Emmy and Golden Globe award winning TV Series..

Did you remember the series? I wasn’t really following the series at first cause I thought it was all about the President of United States.. but Mrs did.. I just tagged along whenever she watched the show.. and she made me changed my mind..

It was not all about the President.. It didnt show how heroic US President single handedly taking down terrorists holding the AIR FORCE ONE.. neither the “inappropriate relationship” between Mr President and a White House intern..

Mainly it was about the teamwork.. between President Bartlet and his staff who stood behind him.. As powerful as we always thought any United president is, he is also a human being and not perfect.. most of the time, he would require helps from his team, to mastermind his moves, assist in decision making, prepare hell-of-inspired speech, react to their enemy’s threat, foreign and domestic, project & intercept risk/problem, damage-control, and what ever not..

and this team who supported him stand-tall and very well respected..

I think this the West Wing is one of the best TV drama ever.. I would definitely recommend this to everyone of you especially if you are a country leader.. current or next-in-line..

In the West Wing, every time before President Bartlet walks out to meet the Press, his think-tanks will brainstorm what are the best moves, the best speech and the best answers.. he never walk out unprepared.. always confident and most importantly, he never look sleepy and stupid..

One told me an ex Prime still has his handpicked Think-tanks even after his stepped down as the country leader.. some might think he was the most powerful dictator in the country but in real fact, this team of his also helped to make him so.. only thing, he made it as opaque as it could be to make himself seen as the real mastermind.. Some leaders over shown his decision makers to public and make them look as stupid as a puppet.. some, made his think tank as a scapegoat.. and that is not wise either..

The key thing is, if you were a leader of a country, a company, a division or even a small team, you need to without fail show yourself as the one who lead and always be in control.. The suggestions might not come entirely from you, but the final decision is always yours..

Always remember, you might be stupid, but never ever let others think you are THAT stupid.. Capital T-Capital H-Capital A-Capital T..

Oh.. Fly.fm really made my day today.. the topic.. : TV theme.. they played theme from TV series ; Hawaii Five O, Cheers, Happy Days, Airwolf, and.. Joe Cocker’s With A Little Help From My Friends.. Theme of Wonder Years..

Demm.. I missed that series.. good old days, living the the sourthernest part of the country, we are blessed with TV station called SBC, ( TCS it may known as now.. or is it? ).. and Wonder Years was one of my favourite.. I still couldnt forget the Emmy Award winning episode.. “Goodbye“.. So cool & touching..

Wish if it could be torrentted.. and oh shoot.. I just realised it can.. starting to download now..

What do you do when you simply just see it deep in you…
Somehow you just have that sixth sense about certain things…
And mostly it really do happened…
Just that it doesn’t say when.
But you do know it’s coming.
Or so you think.
Do you wait and see; still believing in it…
Or you just bury it deep; happening would just be a coincidence.

I like to think I have the 6th eye. Do you?

I Look I See by Yusof Islam
I look, I look, I look, I see
I see a world of beauty
I touch, I touch, I touch, I feel
I feel a world around so real
And everything I do
I dedicate to You
Cause You made me
I am for You

I listen, listen, listen, I hear
I hear the words of God so clear
I read, I read, I read, I know
It helps my knowledge grow
And everything we do
We dedicate to You
Cause You made us
We are for You
I listen, listen, listen, I hear

He sent the Prophet to show us the way
He made Religion perfect that Day
Peace be upon him, upon him we pray
Salatullah, wa salamu ‘alyhi

I sleep I sleep, I sleep, I dream
I dream I’m in a garden green
I wish, I wish, I wish I pray
I pray to be here everyday
And everything I do
I dedicate to You
Cause You made me
I am for You

I work, I work, I work, I strive
To make something of my life
I seek, I seek, I seek, I find
I find another hill to climb
And everything we do
We dedicate to You
Cause You made us
We are for You
I look, I look, I look, I see

He sent the Prophet to show us the way
He made Religion perfect that Day
Peace be upon him, upon him we pray
Salatullah, wa salamu ‘alyhi (x2)

Another spoiler for you. This one is on Grey’s Anatomy Season 4.

I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I’m 110 years old in your arms. I don’t want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime.

Warning.. spoiler ahead.. 18 and above only..
Hank Moody earns his living by writing novels in the Big Apple.. His last one ‘God hates us all’ was a big hit, then adapted to silver screen as ‘A Crazy Little Thing Called Love’ (featuring ‘Tom’ and ‘Katie’) in which described by himself as a piece of sh*t.. Moving to LA, California turned to be a major disaster for him as he’s suffering writer’s block, losing his own self believe and more importantly, his 12-year-old daughter’s mother whom he never plan to marry before..

At some point he was offered a job as a writer of a blog, which later he found out belongs to boyfriend of his ex.. his biggest enemy since Moody is still trying in every possible way to get back to his ex although he simply couldn’t stop sleeping with every woman he met.. including the-one-he-hates-the-most’ s 16-year old daughter, by accident..

Lucky for him, his agent Charlie never stop believing in him and always become his protector.. although Charlie himself apparently began to lose his wife to his own assistant.. a girl assistant..

Ah.. I spilled out too much, wasn’t I? It is a new half an hour series called Californication starring David Duchovny (X-Files), Natascha McElhone (The Company) & Evan Handler (SATC).. Not recommended for below 18 though since it full with D, S & M.. it is quite blurry at first but getting groovy and groovier after 4-5 eps.. definitely not gonna be shown here.. so dont wait up.. try other alternative.. i would suggest something called torrent.. love it or shove it, just try it, might worth it..

Read this from HMetro:

Ular sawa bawah cadar

ALOR STAR: Seorang lelaki tidak menyangka objek sejuk yang disentuhnya ketika memilih cadar di sebuah kedai pakaian terpakai di sini, adalah seekor ular sawa yang sedang berlingkar di bawah timbunan cadar terbabit.

Heh.. somehow I read this as :

Ulaq sawa bawah cadaq

ALOQ STAQ: Seorang lelaki tidak menyangka objek sejuk yang disentuhnya ketika memilih cadaq di sebuah kedai pakaian terpakai di sini, adalah seekor ulaq sawa yang sedang berlingkaq di bawah timbunan cadaq terbabit.

Heheh.. no offence..

My friend Meq from Melaka would read it as “Ulau Sawa Bawah Cadau” and Hasrul from Muo (sic: read Muar) would read it as “Ulor Sawa Bawah Cador”

During my bus ride back from Cherating last Sunday, Mr Ramon was kind enough to share a very nice movie.. a documentary to be precise.. “An incovenient Truth“..

Quote from wiki :

An Inconvenient Truth is an Academy Award-winning documentary film about climate change, specifically global warming, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim. A companion book authored by Gore has been on the paperback nonfiction New York Times bestseller list since June 11, 2006, reaching #1 on July 2, 2006.

(You may go to http://www.climatecrisis.net/ for details)

It was really an eye-opener for us all in the bus.. if that was how my lecturers present in class, i definitely wouldn’t sleep..

For some especially republicans or a tun, might thought this movie is just a propaganda made by someone who failed to win the presidency.. a threat.. lies..
For me, it is purely a great effort.. massive..Lots of facts (or theories??) you can learn from it.. I always believe that the end of the world is near, but after watching this, i think the doomsday much more closer that I’ve ever thought..

WE ALL NEED TO WAKE UP..

Some basic points that we can do :

• buy energy efficient appliances + light bulbs - checked
• recycle - started
• use hybrid cars - always in my wish list
• use light/mass transit - too bad cyberjaya doesn’t have any
• reduce dependency on foreign oil - hopefully soon-to-be Dr Pak Andak will come out with something..

oh, at the end of the movie, it also said to encourage everyone you know to see this movie.. so i think mr gore wouldnt mind if you tube it or torrent it..

A must seen by all.. Thumbsssssssssss and salutesssss up for Al Gore..

p/s : I wonder would it be better if he was in The White House?? nahhhh… some genius Tun might not happy..

For some reason, I wanted to watch the Ocean Collection. (Watched Ocean 11 few years back, but didn’t really ‘get’ it).

Well, anyway, we have been having a movie marathon last night and tonight.

My conclusion:

George Clooney and Brad Pitt will never grow old, and remain ageless, as they are now. Forever giving that sleek rugged look, yet very charming and elegant (Aaa…).

Think of it as the movie where the most good looking sexiest men are on; George and Brad. Plus the women category; Julia Roberts (who can forget her in Pretty Woman?!!!) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (the beautiful black haired Mrs. Zorro). Perhaps Lara Croft should join too.

Anticipating…

ah.. speaking of kodak.. i took me few lapse seconds to remember what kodak is.. same like when my friend asked me the other day, “Do you have a floppy disk?” a floppy what?

As far as i could remember there are few items that I know its existance but became obsolete.. Naming some and its probable reason(s) of extinction (or heading for extinction), so at least when the next generation (read: Faeq) read this blog, he can figure what are these things..

1, Kodak or analog camera film-
Still exist but i think it is heading to extinction… not widely being used anymore by org kebanyakan since the introduction of digital cameras.. may be still applicable for the pros or camera ‘pakai-buang’.. cost around RM8-12.. 36 photos max + may be another 2 extra.. need to wait for another day to be processed.. if it was accidentally exposed, or wrongly inserted or processed, everything will be gone.. no way to retrieve it back.. so why bother.. digital camera rocks..

2, Floppy disk / Floppy disk drive - aka diskettes
Damn useful during window 3.1 - windows98.. a storage device commonly used as boot disk, to install software drivers, save/copy assignment from other colleague etc.. normally seen in MyComputer as A:/ or B:/
can store data up to 1.44mb.. in the good old days.. got the 5 1/4″ disk.. bigger than the normal 3 1/2 inch disk.. with single density double density crap.. couldnt remember.. I used it to copy 486 (what?? haha) PC games..

Since Windows 2k and above, drivers are available in CDs and no boot disk required.. Hardly seen in PC nowadays.. Notebook lagi la susah..

Thumb/pen/usb drive is more popular option for storing assignments..

Jazz drive/zip drive by iomega also fall in this category

3, Laser disk & LD player -
I know my FiL got one LD player at home.. but never seen the disk before.. erm.. i meant never watch a movie on LD before.. far better quality than VCD, but with fast growing technology, VCD can have ‘LD copy quality’ oso.. then also came DVD..
with size 3 times bigger then normal vcd/dvd, it will be crazy for ah beng to carry LDs around and run away when police raiding their store..

4, air botol (kaca, not plastic) -
Remember during raya season, two weeks before raya, my late dad would buy cartons (made of wood) of air botol… Coke, F&N oren, strawberry etc.. to serve to guess during raya.. Tutup botol was also useful..

now this gassy drinks normally come in non-environmental-friendly plastic bottle..

* when we were in Bandung, there was a hawker selling tea in bottle.. branded as ‘Tehbotol‘; with coke-alike font..

5, stamp album -
i dunno.. last time people used to collect stamp.. now still got or not? Reason for extinction : Nadrah

6, stencil machine -

dunno the exact brand or word to describe it.. but have u ever wondered how your exam paper being print out in the oldies? my late dad was a teacher and we had the experience helping him out.. typed the exam question on the blue stencil paper, put it in a machine (like mesin-getah) or we called it mesin gelek.. put some special type of ink and begin ‘gelek’ ing.. i think now Photostat machine is more preferred.. or still mesin gelek?
7, public phone booth in malaysia
reason for extinction : mobile phones and Malaysians..

8, rex, lido, odeon movie theater/pawagam

reason for extinction : cineplex and these people..

any others??
