I’m one of those people who thought that Spiderman 3 was a masterpiece. Brilliantly crafted and full with villains. I personally like the Sandman character. I thought he was extremely cool.

My son thought otherwise though. He doesn’t want to watch it and persistently asking me to play Shrek 3 instead. I had to watch it while he’s sleeping.

Son: Ayah, Shrek.
Dad: After this please, ayah want to watch this.
Son: Shrek (while raising his voice).
Dad: Ok, ok.
Son: Bye bye Spiderman 3 (while waving and smiling at the TV screen).

Bye bye Mary Jane Watson. I will always love you.

In 3 weeks time, my son will celebrate his 2 years birthday. With his current obsession, finding his birthday present will be an easy task.

For the past one week he will ask me to play his favorite DVD, Spider-man 2. He will laugh non stop every time he saw the Spiderman doing his thing. He’ll imitate all the actions in the movie and wants me to play along with him, which I ‘politely’ declined. He wants to save the world and think that the spider should bite him instead of Peter Parker.

His obsession received two different responses from his parents.

His mother thinks that he’s cute but seriously thought of buying another TV for herself.

His father thinks MJ’s kinda cute and should wear a bra.

controversial, that means he never stood for anything. -

I loved the The Da Vinci Code’s trailer but that shouldn’t count. The Matrix sequels’ trailer was awesome, the movies unfortunately was not. That said, this movie was by Brian Grazer and I knew he could make series as good as “24”. However, I also know that he can make movies as good as the Nutty Professor sequel.

I should just reserve my comments then. I like the book too much (that plus Tom Hanks).

I have a confession to make.

I honestly think that Misha Omar is a great singer.

World Cup 2006

World Cup is just around the corner. We don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that Brazil is one of the favorites. If one day there’s power problems on earth, Roberto Carlos alone could power the entire world by running on a treadmill for the rest of his life. He’s super fit. Damn fit. With Ronaldinho (the most overrated player in the world not called Beckham) that constantly defy all laws of logic and Ronaldo that can be the best striker in the world, the cup is theirs.

My money is on England, they got Beckham don’t they.

My colleague asks me on my opinion of current hike in oil price.

‘What’s your opinion kawan?’
‘Tapi ini berguna atok, atok tahu tak pada kelajuan melebihi 160 km/j sebuah kereta formula 1 boleh menghasilkan daya tekanan menyamai berat kereta itu sendiri. Ini bermakna sebuah kereta formula 1 boleh dipandu secara terbalik dan melekat pada permukaan bumbung sebuah terowong.’
‘You are one crazy man.’
‘Saya rasa baik atok jangan naik kereta formula 1.’

There’s a time when it’s better to keep my big mouth shut.

This is one of the times.


Talking about the price’s hike, there’s one cartoon by Reggie Lee, featured in The Star (March 8, 2006), that captured my attention.

Hawker: What’s the complaint about a 30 sen increase in a bowl of noodles? Malaysia still has one of the lowest hawker food prices in the region.
Customer (look impressed): Wa, where you learn to speak like dat one?

I’ve made a mistake.

In yesterday’s entry, I promise I saw the word Astronaut, instead of Astronomer.

My wrong, it won’t happen again.

Do you guys know the song that Ben sang to Liz in Armageddon? Leaving On A Jet Plane by Peter, Paul and Marry. Can you guys sing that song in your head while reading this entry?


I scored 142 on Tickle’s Classic IQ test and the report suggested a few careers in which I could excel:

1. Physicists
2. Chess player
3. City planner
4. Astronomer
5. Mathematician
6. Researcher

There you go. I’m destined to be a spaceman.


Thank you very much. I know i can be a jerk sometime.
