Dang... wish I brought my Lumix instead... 

Very friendly golden retriever.

This little pup was super adorable.

A pair of pomeranians. Very poofy... macam cushion.

This cutie here looks like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel... but I could be wrong coz it was a little hard to recognize after it dunked itself into the sea.

This fella here I believe is a Japanese Chin.

This Yorkshire Terrier thinks it's on a Vogue photoshoot by the sea.

The owner of this pair of beagles was more than accomodating to let us play with his pride and joy.

You're one cool dude... thanks!

Toy poodles made their presense felt too.

I R CHOW CHOW...

There was another bigger one, black somemore... but the pic came out way too blur to post.

Japanese Chin is happy... ;)

More toy poodles... complete with mini skirt some more...

I absolutely adore this beautiful looking retriever.

It took 2 cans of hair spray to get this look ok?

Where de paparazi when u need them?

I got slobbered in the face kaw kaw by this pair of beagle... I luv them to bits!

It's nice to be able to take my mind off things for just a while.

These little moments come far and few nowadays.

It's gonna be a really punishing 2 months ahead for me.

Spent most of last week doing groceries to restock pile my dwindling food and household consumables. Ya-la... and also hoping to save a buck or two when the price of goods start climbing up due to the damn cascading effect from the petrol price increase a forthnite ago by buying early. It got a little tiring, so decided to catch a movie for a short break before resuming shopping in another outlet.

I had a choice of either M. Night Sharmalan's "The Happening" or Tsui Hark's "Missing". CL wanted to watch the latter ever since it came out, so we went ahead with it. I kinda like Tsui Hark's movies so it was no biggie.

Basically, it revolves around the story of this high profile photographer dude who tried to propose to his girl by hiding the engagement engagement ring in this ancient underwater ruins off the coast of Japan during one of his dives with her. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned and the romantic underwater proposal goes horribly wrong.

The local cinemas tried marketing this movie as a supernatural flick, but honestly, it didn't feel like one. It was more like a cross between a thriller and a drama. The cinematography was really good with plenty of awe inspiring underwater shots. The first half of the movie had great pacing and the story unfolded beautifully.

Unfortunately, the second half was't as good. It was like Tsui Hark suddenly kinda lost direction and couldn't decide how to end the movie. There were several points whereby I thought that was how the movie was going end, but it suddenly took a 180 degree turn and revealed a totally new angle to the story.

Thankfully, there were several nicely done scenes which were done nicely and you could really feel the tug on your heart. The scene where Guo Xiao Dong and Lee Sinje's characters finally embrace after all the madness they went through was really touching.

This, I feel, was worth the price of the ticket alone.

Ultimately, if you could spare slightly more than 2 hours during a lazy weekend, this movie might be worth your time...  ;)

I dare not imagine the ripple effect this is going to have on inflation.

Even the middle class is going to be screaming bloody murder... just think of what is going to happen to those living below the poverty line.

Every single household item in our life is gonna be dearer come August.

My favorite wan tan mee is going to cost 5 bucks a plate soon... sigh...

Update : Well... it's comfirmed. It caught me by suprise as I didn't expect it to happen so soon. RM2.70 a litre for RON97 petrol is gonna hurt, for those of us used to the old price of RM1.92 (especially when I use approx 1400++ litres a year).

But I shouldn't complain cause this is to be expected with the spiralling global crude oil prices.

DAMN U BUSH... THIS IS YOUR FARKING LEGACY!!!

AND FARK U ADUH-LA BODOH-WI AND YOUR CIBAI WAYANG KULIT STYLE ANNOUNCEMENTS! ALWAYS SAY... TAKDE... TAKDE... JANGAN DENGAR KHABAR ANGIN. LAST TIME GENERAL ELECTIONS OSO SAY WON'T HAPPEN, NEXT DAY TERUS ANNOUNCE IT"S ON. NOW FEW DAYS AGO SAY WON'T HAPPEN TILL AUGUST... JAM PUKUL 5 PETANG LATER CAKAP HARGA MINYAK TERUS NAIK AT MIDNIGHT. NIAMA MANGKUK HAYUN MIA PM... BALIK TIDOOOOOOR LA... PORRRRDAAAAAAH!!!

I won't bother to queue up with the rest of the kiasu bastets on this island who most probably will be lining up all the way to Bukit Mertajam to fill up one last time for cheap fuel before midnight.

Brace yourself for the onslaught of ensuing price increases on everything else. God speed.

**Update 2 : So fast... Tenaga nasional oreidi raise electricity rates by 18% for home users and 26% for business users... mampus liao this time... dunno wot else will go up...

Corrections... dunno wot else won't go up is a better question. What now? Ask Bank Negara to raise interest rates again to artificially combat inflation? Ini macam my housing loan combined with rising prices on everything else, can send me to an early grave liao...

Articles like this make me laugh.

Politicians from the ruling party like yourself, are proponents of various keris wielding draconian policies which in fact, are the very essense that make this state of mind impossible in the first place.

Come to think of it, it's a little ironic as Mr. Joe Public never had a problem with this (and that means every Ahmad, Muthu and Ah Seng on the street) until you idiots bring these sentiments up everytime we were asked to cast our ballots. And that's when the whole racial circus starts.

And now you have the balls to ask us to swallow these type of LPPL rhetorics.

Hypocritical scum, go die and wallow in the flames of hell.

P.S. : What the fuck is this??? This nation is going to hell... and we're strapped along with a one way ticket with it.

The automatic hot air hand dryer. It's interesting why ppl insist on using these when it never really ever dries the moisture off your hands, and you'll still find yourself wiping them against your butt to wick off the last few remaining bits of water droplets.

I've seen my fair share of weird uses for this thing as well. So far, I've spotted ppl using it to dry toothbrushes (which makes me ask myself why ppl bother to bring their toothbrushes to the office in the first place), ppl drying the bottom portion of their shirts which got wet due to a sudden gush from an overpowerful tap, kids who yank their t-shirt collars forward and stand just underneath the dryer so that they balloon up looking like miniature Hindenburgs. I've even seen a bangla using the warm air from the dryer to warm his nuts on a particularly chilly day... but that's another story for another day.

But this young contractor dude who's working on the walls of my company office takes the cake. You know how 'in' it is nowadays to have the spiky, heavily layered Jap-looking hairdo? The look which can only be achieved by applying half a gallon of hairwax and blowing it into perfection with nothing less than a jet stream from an Airbus 380?

Well, this resourceful dude used the hot air hand dryer in my office loo to style his artifical blonde mane into an absolute towering... crowning glory.

I dunno how long he was kneeling underneath the dryer... but damn...

Cloud Strife pun kalah...

I feel tired... I stink... body stickier than flypaper... I feel bitchy. The next time my mechanic tells me he can get a timing belt job done in less than 2 hours during the weekend... I'm gonna give him the RISING DRAGON POKING HAWAIIAN KOLABONE stance.

 XX Teens -How To Reduce The Chances Of Being A Terror Victim

I've said it once before, and I'll say it again.

Them fookin Brits are geniuses.

Easily one of the more interesting music videos I've seen in a while.

Reminds me a little of that Wear Sunscreen song by Baz Luhrmann.

Cool.

No... this is not a poster of some new Korean horror movie. This is yours truly... and frankly, I just got a little tired of explaining to ppl what the shit happened to my right visual apparatus.

Yes... I can now audition for the role of an uber villian in some latest Tamil movie. But no, I have no idea how the thing flared up. All I remember is I waking up one morning and BAM... there it was. That's it.

Apparently, it's some form of subconjunctival haemorrhage; which is caused by a burst conjunctival blood vessel (wiki is the new Dr. Phil...). Remedy? You just wait till it goes away. And that's some 2 weeks away. Good news is, the above snapshot tells me it's healing real nicely (about 40% of the redness has cleared). The bad news is, ppl still look at you funny like you're some freak of nature or something.

So there... stop asking me already...

And yes... I'll be farking voting tomorrow.
