Remember This? It's finally landed!

We Malaysians can be a real dated lot when it comes to these shows.
The U.S had it's release in January.
We Malaysians? March 7th. How slow.
But then, better late than never.
And way better than that bullshit Twilight show. Emo + Retarded-looking man+Slutty woman. Gosh. This-Explosions, Torturings, the lot. Damn.

IPhone 3G by Maxis-Ridiculous or Just A Tech Marvel?

It's a mixed bag, unfortunately. So, let's start with the pros:-
1-It's brilliant when you're planning to surf the net. And brilliant means fast.
2-The Safari Internet applications is REAL good..
3-It's party piece lar....what else but the ever 'legendary' IPod?

And now, the cons:-
1-Look at the price-It's friggin expensive! RM2540 for the 8GB model, and RM2960 for the 16GB model? Might as well go for a HTC Touch 3G-At 2k a pop, almost the same features, yet you can put in an 8GB memory card and you'll still have around 900 bucks! Note that the price is using their most basic pack, the Value Plus Plans.
2-Use their iValue 4 plan, and go on a 2-year contract. With that pack, you'll get the phone for free. But, who's going to pay RM375 a month? In 2 years, you'll be Rm9000 poorer! Want more space for your iPhone? Then shell out an extra RM260 for the 16GB model. Yes, you'll have 2500 minutes of talk time, but will you spend that much?

So, there you have it, it's a very desirable phone, but, you'll shell out wads of cash just to have one. So as an alternative, why don't get one from parallel importers? You'll just need to shell out 4/5 ths less. Or get a HTC smartphone. Way better and safer way to put yout hard-earned money.

MB blames SELCAT for his loss? Unsurprising.

Ehh, Khir Toyo(ex-Selangor MB), come on lar, you blame the SELCAT(Select Commitee On Compatability, Accountacy and Transparency) for your loss in the UMNO Youth polls? Please lar, the opposition has spilled the beans on you, and you start shooting them? Might as well blame yourself for whatever you've done during your tenure as Selangor Menteri Besar, and, most importantly, be a man to confess, not hide under the table and be a sore loser.

As how a fellow blogger said after you lost your MB post, you allegedly tried to destroy the documents as an act of sabotage. Right. Not so good lar. Be a man and admit defeat. In life, everybody has their ups and downs, and you're not immune from it, and so am i.

Earth Hour-Increasing Awareness, or Mere Cheap Publicity?

Obviously, you don't need a genius to give you the answer, as it's one hell of a mere CHEAP (when i say it, i mean it) publicity stunt by the organization that spearheaded this campaign.

Briefly, we definitely know that most of us would definitely keep unwanted lights on (just typical Malaysian attitude). And, how often would we try and make the utmost effort to switch off unwanted lights? Well, it isn't surprising that less than a quarter of us M'sians do. Honestly, on a normal day, i would have only 5 lights on at night, 2 for the driveway, and 3 for indoors. And, they're just the lights i need as it lightens up just the kitchen and living room. Need i say more?

And why do i say publicity stunt? In my personal capacity, it looks like not everybody is that receptive to what ever this particular organuzation is doing, hence, the need for this campaign.
Again, personally, i wouldn't mind, if this campaign stresses on switching off unwanted lights anytime, everyday, but, this campaign says otherwise. And screw those fucking concerts dedicated to Earth Hour. Do we really need such concerts? Generally, i think not. Remember, you need those real bloody high-powered spotlights just to make sure everybody sees these so-called 'earth loving artistes'.

So, to those claiming to love the earth right now, you should have done this earlier. And, anybody that criticzies me for being a hypocrite, let me tell you this-Look at the downside to it. Screwed-up hypocrites.
