Overthinking it post #1 - The invisible Juice in BERSIH2.0

OK. Im sure most of you can still recall how suddenly all of you turn into an overnight Coldplay fam just a few days before 0709 just because they sang the song 'Yellow'.

In fact, i dare say that most of you heard that song the first time a few days prior to the rally, by YouTubing it. Not sure what song im talking about? well, here's the video.


Trivia! The whole vid was a single, continuous take of Chris Martin walking on the beach. Shot at 50 frames per second, twice the regular speed, Chris to sing the song at double speed so that the audio and visual content would be in sync. The final edit slowed to 25 frames per second, to create a slow motion effect of the video.

Originally, the video was supposed have the whole band to appear in the video, in a sunny setting. However, drummer, Will Champion's mother's funeral was held on the day of the shooting, so it was decided that only Martin would appear in the video.

OK. Enough about that.

Now, post Bersih, everyone in the government are producing their own conspiracy theories that the whole rally was part of a Christian, Communist, even a Jew plan to overthrow the Malaysian government. Why? I dunno. Last time i checked, Ambiga, the head honcho of Bersih was Indian. Probably her nose is huge, which led to some quarters thinking she's Jewish. But she's a lawyer la. Not a businesswoman. Hence, she's Indian. (i kid! i kid!)

Anyway.

Come to think of it (or more like OVERTHINKING IT), there is (or might be) a connection between the band Coldplay, with everything mentioned above! From their song title, (e.g 'Yellow'), lyrics, or even what Chris Martin once had written on his palm during his concerts!

So this whole Bersih2.0 - Yellow - Christian - Jew - Communism theory might actually hold water after all, and that Ibrahim Ali is actually a swell guy to enjoy Bak Kut Teh with.

So lets analyze.

- The name 'Coldplay'. COLD! refers to the Cold War between the US and Russia - Communists!
Agenda komunis ni!
So ngam la them Parti Sosialis Malaysia kena cekup!
The song Yellow BY Coldplay. How potent is that? Bersih. yellow. Coldplay. Communism. hint hint.

- Chris Martin is married to Gwyneth Paltrow who is of a Russian Jewish descent. Her grandad is a Rabbi somemore. Hambik kau Wisma Putra!

Fast forward to their more recent work, lets pick one of the more popular ones where people will still recall. The song Viva La Vida.

The song is well known for their Bible references, (Alamak. Ni Kristian meracuni minda anak Melayu ni! (somehow, anak-anak Cina dan India immune pulak to this kind of hasutan. Probably antibodies develop cuz they makan babi) ), revolution and a failed institution e.g king or government,

"I used to rule the world / seas would rise when i gave the word/ now in the morning i sleep alone/ sweep the streets i used to own"
That line is a very direct warning to the government. Also, like taking a piss at a certain Pak Loh who spent most of his time in office sleeping.....
Coldplay ni main subliminal messaging ye. Kansel sama itu permit concert!

"And i discovered that my castle stand, upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand"
"pillars of sand" is a clear reference to the Biblical parable given by Jesus about the fool who built his house on sand, and the wise man who built it on solid rock, while "pillars of salt" is a reference to Lot's wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt."
Ni referring to Putrajaya ka???

"I know Saint Peter won't call my name" - HAH! 'Saint'! Santo santo ni. Klaus ka. New Orleans Saints ka. Saint Bernard ka. Tak kira. Syirik!
By the way, St Peter is the dude who takes care of the gates of heaven.
HUH! macam sambungan first lines from Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven je! "There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven!" - Macam perli Bik_Mama je ni!

"I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing/ Roman Cavalry choirs are singing"
HAH! Jerusalem! Baitulmaqdis! Yahudi! Roman Cavalry! Perang Salib! Ni sah memang ada ejen Yahudi mainkan peranan dalam BERSIH ni!

"Revolutionaries wait / For my head on a silver plate!"
Jibby: GULP.

So there you have it. Overthinkingit post #1. The silent connection on how the invisible hand of the JUICE and X-tians (pronounced 'ex-tian', not Christian, ok?) are present in the Bersih2.0 rally. And Anwar and his vid? Itu HVD buat tu. Tak lepas FINAS. Extras playing around with handicam.

So maybe im just overthinking it. Or maybe im so bored that I happen to (stupidly) patch all these theories together while stuck in the LDP jam earlier today. Maybe all the above actually made sense!

This ain't racism. It's an observation!

This is a repost. I took it off last time. Got it back on.

I got this idea when i saw these hashtags on twitter today:


While entries are put in with a tongue in cheek and a hint (maybe more) of sarcasm in it, i think it doesnt really reflect the 'taste' of Malaysian men in general.

You know what? I think Malaysian men have this secret urge to hook up with someone OUT of their 'race'. Seriously. So without any hint of racism in it, i will attempt to summarize how i see this 'race-relation' thing works out in Malaysia.

Say all you want, Malay friends. Looking for 'Perempuan Melayu Terakhir' la, sopan-santun la, berbudi-bahasa, is all crap. Who are you kidding? Fact is, the main criteria Malay guys look for in their dream girls is fair skin. Sawo matang? Eff that. They want putih gebu bak salju.

Otherwise how Fair and Lovely can laris here?

They want Oriental look. The Chinese / Japanese /Korean look. But sadly, most Chinese / Japanese / Korean got single eyelid. Then again, they want kulit putih gebu with rambut hitam ikal mayang. Priority tu! Based on these combinations also explains why Melayu bros in semenanjung like Sabahan and Sarawakian girls who tend to be fairer with 'larger' eyes. (dont know why, but im guessing is from generations and generations of mixed marriages over there).

So if you're a Malay girl, who is cerah kulit, nescaya anda berada di tangga teratas Minah Pilihan among your Malay guy friends.

Indian guys? Well. They also like their Malay bros, they like fair skin. But not just any fair skin- they want fair-fair like Beyonce and Rihanna one.

Too white, not Indian enough. Amma dont like.

They also tend to go for Malay girls whom they find tend to be very opinionated. This applies strictly to Indian bros through and through la, not a product of gabungan dua parents yang tick kotak lain in the Bangsa category.

Chinese friends, tend to stick to their own 'kind' sort. How many times you see an Ah Beng dating a lady SIX tones darker than themselves? Almost NONE. But i do notice Chinese friends liking girls who are products of gabungan dua parents yang tick kotak lain in the Bangsa category. ChinLayu? Chindian? Tak percaya? tengok sendiri.

The Kenn reviews Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

I watched TF3 last week at TGV KLCC. Too much drama. Double booked hall, moved to a smaller hall, movie started late. Terrible movie.

I did a quick review of the movie, hours after leaving it on Twitter: here they are, which pretty much sum up what i think of the movie.

(spoilers alert)

storyline macam Ibrahim Ali. Too many jumps innit.

the characters jump into scenes out of nowhere. Suddenly appear. Suddenly there. No explanation on how they go there.

characters wasted. IronHide mati just liddat. Starscream die just liddat. Megatron died. Just liddat.

Decepticons somehow have more honor in facing their enemies. Round up prisoners etc. Autobots gang on enemy and kill!

is sebangang Green Lantern, it was money better spent compared to TF3

Rose Huntington Whiteley was wasted. Her full potential was only exploited in her first appearance In the movie. Butt shot

they said no more annoying stereotypical bots like them nigga bots. Replaced by poncey Brit bots instead.

why d hell need to aim for d main key when other failing keys will disrupt the whole shit?

Sentinel Prime looks like Gundam RX-78-2

NO Sixshot! No Rodimus!

Three freaking movie and Megatron dies just like that! Predator-ized by Prime. He's a mean one, that Prime.

In short, lots, LOTS of plot holes. Robots popping up everywhere, suddenly lotsa Decepticons lying dormant on the moon, bad guys having more honor in battle, lame, unimportant subplots. I could have spent that RM13 on a KFC snackplate. Lagi bagus.

Tulis lebih2 wont make TF3 a better movie. So lemme end this post with...."I cant wait for TF4!". LOL

The Kenn reviews The Green Lantern


So The Kenn finally earned back some of his geek-cred when he 'successfully' dragged @emrung to watch Green lantern last night. Honestly, i was there to watch X-men First Class but i forgot my free pass which admits two in the car, so we went for Green Lantern instead.

My thoughts on the movie?

5 1/2 stars out of ten.

Mediocre acting, but can stomach it. Not many cringe-worthy lines like the ones found in The Attack of The Clones.

Blake Liveley is definitely eye-candy for the movie. Not enough screen time, could have been more. They did not explore her relationship past with Hal Jordan.

That Hector Hammond dude is wasted throughout. All i saw was him screaming like a faggot (which, in fact, his character is) and complaining about how sucky his life is. He should go to Twitter. Know lotsa people in Twitter Jaya who would make him feel like he fits in.

Hal Jordan by the dude who used to marry Scarlett Johannson, Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds is ok as the GL. Funny enough when need to be. But i cant seem to take him seriously - maybe because i kept referring him as the dude from that 'Two Guys, a girl, and a pizza place' show.

SINESTRO! Come on. He was totally underused. Didnt even get to show his prowess with the ring! Apart from bullying Hal Jordan who's a noob with the ring bit, Sinestro was totally under utilized throughout. Good post-credit bit though when he put on that yellow ring. Perhaps a sequel with The Sinestro Corps i hope!

Kilowog and that Fish Man who i dont even give a damn to wiki are also totally underutilized. The film felt rushed. Like someone just gave us a skim through a newly bought comic book. U get the gist of it. Just that.

Parallax. One - shitty name. Two. Looks like shit. Three. Shitty lines.

And lastly- The C.G.I throughout the movie. THEY LOOKED CHEAP. This aint a KRU Productions movie yet the flying scenes looked B-class at best. Anyone noticed the 'jerk' between flying / floating and landing bits?

AND! Yang i paling cannot tahan - Oversell by LG in the movie. I know la 'Green Lantern' and 'LG' share same initials. But dont la make it sooooooooooooo obvious you wanna promo the phone.

Did i mentioned the movie had a very comic-y feel to it? Yes it does. And it, IMHO, is a good thing! Takes away all that sense of realism one might expect after watching The Dark Knight.

Next crappy review - X-Men First Class! (when i finally get to use that free pass, that is)

Anwar said this;

So Malaysian Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim made an open chat session with the public today via Yahoo Instant Messenger.

I shot a question, and it got answered. (in case you're still wondering which question, it's 'lordleandre')

I think it's a safe answer there. Not surprising- he is a politician anyway.

What do you think? you be the judge.

This is not a proper post.


I opened up this page at 10 a.m today - wanting to write SOMETHING.

Now, it's 6.46 p.m. ---I ended up with this. Just this.

What? Just cuz im a writer, it doesnt mean words and sentences just come out pouring, you know.

Spent the whole day collecting Marvel Comics characters pictures, for a mini project which i think, when it does takes off, will look super cool.

And with that, i'm done for today's blogpost.

I end it with this picture taken last night.
