I was looking at this commercial of the new Kia Proceed car featuring Vandal, and I couldn’t help noticing the funny reference it made to Voltron.
Saw it in PaulTan’s website.
That got me nostalgic. I went to Youtube to search for more of my memories, memories that are very much a part of me. So I list them down here, in no particular order.

Have you heard of the TV series that was shown in 8TV a while back in 2006? I thought it was a very good show. I managed to download the complete series and watch them all during my wife’s 4 days confinement period in Tey’s Maternity and Gynecologist Centre.

The new animated feature “Horton Hears a Who?” is a Jim Carrey debut feature into the world of voice acting. He has a lot of great movies under his belt. An A-list superstar who commands big bucks. But before he reached where he is now, do you know that he was only a lowly comedian who plays in silly slap-stick comedies TV shows and movies as an extra? I know that, because I have been watching In Livin’ Color since the days it was shown in Malaysia back in the early 90’s. In the TV show, he was known by the name James Carrey. His most memorable character that I can remember is Fire Marshall Bill and the VeraCosa who yells “Mess with my breasts, die like the rest!” You’ve got to see it for the laughs!

I am so ashamed of my own country lately. Those who have been noticing the advertisement on our local TV channel should have seen this awful song:
I mean, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?? A song about how we should flush our toilet? Has it really come to this? This is the absolute worse patriotic song ever written for Malaysian prime time TV. (Dude, it’s played during the 8 pm prime time before the news!) Whatever happened to good old patriotic songs like Sudirman’s “Tanggal 31 Ogos” and “Perajurit Tanah Air” which were good songs, songs that I can still hum and sing to more than 20 years after I first heard them.
Another point of argument is the absolute junk that this song is, IF you can call it a song. Listen to it! The song is all in monotonous rant, one single note, totally mindless! Whoever wrote, sung, and approved this song to go on air must have the musical talent equivalent of a dung beetle.
Please Malaysia, wake up. You’re already 50 years old and you still eat crap for breakfast! Wake up dude!
Edit: This post has been edited to fix that layout problem with the embedded Youtube video, thanks to Ying Ying who helped me with that! Thanks a lot girl! Will write another post later on how exactly to fix that later.

Has anyone seen the movie? Not to sound too exaggerating, I’d rate it as the best HK movie I’ve seen this year. In fact all 3 HK movies that I’ve seen this year are good, the previous ones being the two Andy Lau films ( I forgot their names, appreciate if anyone could refresh my memory). But this is a darn special movie, truly a different tone to the previous two. Great artistic touch, good cinematography, excellent fight moves! It totally redefines the term macho-ism, but I must say that the story of the movie is a bit too predictable. The big bad boss always has a great sidekick, and he (the sidekick) always losses before the big fight between the big boss and the good guy. That aside, I’d recommend u to go watch it. I might even give that sissy Jacky Cheung’s musical a miss. And trust me, I am a big fan of Jacky Cheung!
