What's Going On? Something Gravely Wrong

Something is gravely wrong here (I have an urge to utter profanities).........

From Malaysiakini....EXCLUSIVE Renowned Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand will not be testifying at the Teoh Beng Hock inquest when it resumes hearing on April 20 citing “political pressure” from the Malaysian government.

Apa dah berlaku kepada Malaysia???

It's Complicated (2009)

It's Complicated (2009)
Director : Nancy Meyers
Cast : Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin
Quotes :
Alex :Is it really necessary for you to always say no before you say yes?
***

It's refreshing to sometimes see Streep in a non-dramatic role. This is one of them. Baldwin and Martin both showed their chemistry hosting the previous edition of Oscar.
It's a nice entertaining movie examining who we are in a relationship and how important to embrace that.
Have a good laugh!

Do Your Bit - Register Yourself As Voter (and of course vote during election!)

from uncle Zorro's post.............

WHAT IS MEANT BY THE REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS ?
The Registration of Electors, as provided for under the law, enables qualified Malaysian citizens to register as electors. The registration is carried out throughout the year. In addition it allows the Registered Electors who have changed their address to register at the new place of residence. Electors are also encouraged to check their names in the verified Electoral Rolls.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER ?
To secure your right to vote in an election and exercise your right as a citizen.

WHO IS A QUALIFIED VOTER?
- A Malaysian citizen
- Has attained 21 years of age
- Is residing in any Election Constituency in Malaysia; and
- Has not been disqualified.

HOW TO REGISTER ?
- Go personally to the Registration Centre or Post Office.
- Take along your MyKad
- Ensure Form A is correctly filled by the staff before signing the form; and
- Keep one copy of the form as proof of your registration.

WHERE CAN YOU REGISTER ?

All Post Offices with computer facilities in the country;

NOT CERTAIN WHETHER YOU ARE A REGISTERED VOTER OR IF YOU ARE STILL ON THE ELECTORAL ROLE. (There are sufficient proof that your name is in some out of state constituencies)

I think the Chinese title should be 24 个马来西亚人 (24 Malaysians) instead of 24 个大马人 (24 Malayans). Printing mistakes I guess.

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

The Men Who Stare At Goats (2009)
Director : Grant Heslov
Cast : George Clooney, Ewan McHregor, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey and err... Goats
Tagline : No goats, No glory

A successful ensemble of big names and it's Clooney's vehicle again! He shines here as the near lunatic psychic spy of New World Army and it's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't say it's the best work of the actors, but worth a laugh. In this crazy world, we need some.

小步舞曲 - 陈绮贞

作曲:陳綺貞, 編曲:李雨寰
監製:林暐哲, 填詞:陳綺貞


天空突然下起傾盆大雨　戀人在屋簷下相偎相依
移動我的腳步輕鬆躲雨　人潮擁擠握住濕熱的手心
再也不願想起不快樂的旋律　呼吸這一秒的空氣

還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密　
在我心裡翻來覆去　什麼叫做愛情
還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密　
在你心裡我也許只是你欣賞的風景

夜晚靜靜等著電話響起　時間躺在他去年寄來的信
空蕩的房間我播放著舞曲　旋轉這一秒的孤寂

還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密　
在你心裡我也許是你輕快的遊戲
還有多少回憶　藏著多少秘密　
在你心裡我也許只是你緩慢的練習

音樂響起我一個人演出重複的舞曲

***这是我在陈老师的作品之中最最喜欢的一首。

Nine (2009)

Nine (2009)
Director : Rob Marshall
Cast : Daniel Day Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Fergie, Sophia Loren
Tagline : This holiday, be Italian

This movie proved 2 things :
1. All big names won't guarantee a movie's outcome.
2. Same trick won't work twice : Rob Marshall's previous work is Chicago.

Only Cotillard, Dench and Fergie shine. Others? Sorry.

小时代 - 郭敬明 (Updated)

I bought this out of curiosity. 郭敬明 is one of the top earning author in China.

To me, it's just brand name dropping (tonnes of Starbucks, Prada, Gucci etc etc) story; though not appealing to me, I guess it must be appealing to the younger generation in China now hence the popularity. And one thing I can't stand is that he mentioned about his name and books in his novel, a topic of conversation between the characters in his novel. Hmm... tak suka but that's my humble opinion only.

Yasmin Ahmad's Film - Amir Muhammad (Updated)

To those who likes Yasmin Ahmad's movie, it's a good read. Amir Muhammad gave his insights on the movies and many behind the scenes and all those why-why-why moments in Yasmin's movies.

P/S : Yes, my friend, I read your strawberries entry!

Whatever Works (2009)

Whatever Works (2009)
Director : Woody Allen
Cast : Larry David, Evan Rachel Woods, Patricia Clarkson
Quote : That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works.

Again, with Allen's movie, you either love it or hate it. No grey area what-so-ever. I have limited exposures to his movies, especially those during his funny glorious era but I did watch most of his recent movies including those with his latest muse Scarlet Johannson, (Match Point and Scoop), Anything Else, Melinda and Melinda, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Curse of Jade Scorpion.... But I still haven't watch original DVD Annie Hall (1977) I bought in Paris!!!!

If you watch his movies before and can take it, watch this as it's filled with so many "Woody-Allen"ness channeled through the main character played by Larry David, his alter ego!

If you can't stand movies with dialogues, no matter how funny they are.... avoid this at all cost.

陀飞轮 - 陈奕讯

作曲 : Vincent Chow
填词：黄伟文
编曲 : Gary Tong
监制 : Alvin Leong


过去十八岁 没戴表 不过有时间
够我 没有後顾 野性贪玩
霎眼廿七岁 时日无多 方不敢偷懒
宏愿纵未了 奋斗总不太晚

然後突然今秋 望望身边 应该有 已尽有
我的美酒 跑车 相机 金表 也讲究
直 到世间 个个也妒忌 仍不怎麽富有
用我尚有 换我没有 其实已 用尽所拥有

曾付出几多心跳 来换取一堆堆的发票
人值得 命中减少几秒 多买一只表
秒速 捉得紧了 而皮肤竟偷偷松了
为何用到尽了 至知哪样紧要

劳力是 无止境 活着多好 不需要 靠物证
也不以高薪 高职 高级品 搏尊敬 wo~
就算搏到 伯爵那地位 和萧邦的隽永
卖了任性 日拼夜拼 忘掉了为甚麽高兴

曾付出几多心跳 来换取一堆堆的发票
人值得 命中减少几秒 多买一只表
秒速 捉得紧了 而皮肤竟偷偷松了
为何用到尽了 至知哪样紧要

记住那 关於光阴的教训
回头走 天已暗
你献出了十寸 时和分
可 有换到十寸金

还剩低几多心跳 人面跟水晶表面对照
连自己 亦都分析不了 得到多与少
也许真的疯了 那个倒影多麽可笑
灵 魂若变卖了 上链也没心跳

银或金都不紧要 谁造机芯 一样了
计划了 照做了 得到了 时间却太少 no~
还剩低几多心跳 还在数赶不及了
昂贵是这刻 我觉悟了
在时计里 看破一生 渺渺
