A Few Good Creative Men

So one of my favorite movies is A Few Good Men. Superb acting, marvellous script and great ensemble of actors. And the most memorable scene, and I think most of you would agree, would be the one where Nicholson was being provoked by Cruise in the court during the court marshall. Breathtaking acting performance by both without a doubt!

And just now, as I was browsing through the Youtube, I bumped into this A Few Good Creative Men. Very creative indeed. I nearly fell off my chair watching this hilarious parody! Enjoy...

Another Way To Save Money On Petrol

Here's a very interesting way of saving our petrol money. This was emailed to me by a good friend of mine.
Back to the olden days!



Another name to this way = WALKING!

Crazy Midnight Petrol Sale!

So last night was indeed a midnight rush! I'm speaking about the Crazy Petrol Midnight Sale that happened, I believed from 6pm to 1am, last night. It was utter madness, both ways, for the Government and us. An increment of 40% is just too much and too fast! One minute, we got the impression that the petrol hike was going to happen in August, the next few hours, it was the next day. Cilakoi betoi!

And due to that everybody had gone crazy rushing to the petrol stations. Honestly, I don't blame any of us. However, the immediate impact was, TRAFFIC JAMS EVERYWHERE!!! Why? Because people were queuing up at all petrol stations everywhere. Really it was a domino effect.

Petrol Up = Rush to Petrol Stations = Long queues @ petrol stations = spill over to road = TRAFFIC JAMS!!!

Going back from work was crazy as it took me almost 2 hours from Desa Seri Hartamas to Kelana Jaya! And I don't even live in Kelana Jaya! It was just half way!!!! Due to the chaos, me and my girlfriend decided to have our dinner in Kelana Jaya since it was pointless heading back to USJ at the time. I pity for those who had made plans for the night, everything must have gone haywire. Sigh..c'est la vie in Malaysia.

Well-Respected Social Activist Toni Kasim Dies

I'm sad to announce the demise of a well-known women's activist Toni Kasim at 5am this morning. She was suffering from duodenal cancer (cancer in the beginning section of the small intestine) and succumbed to her illness at her sister's house in Batu 3, Shah Alam.

I knew her personally when I attended a workshop on creative scriptwriting organized by Kakiseni.com last October in 2007. She was a participant too. It was a brief encounter but she was very friendly, jovial and smiled a lot. And through the discussions we had I could tell she was very passionate in her work and beliefs. Only later I found out that she was a respected social activist focusing mainly on gender equal rights and have been serving more than 20 years! Indeed a great lost to our community.

Zaitun 'Toni' Kasim may God bless your soul. Al-fatihah.
