Last night, 27 June 2008 marks the end of the dynamic-duo of 'Pudgy Dragon, Scrawny Tiger' more aptly known as the 'Fei Loong, Sau Foo' duo as my partner-in-crime, Lawrence has finally left the organisation and thus found greener pastures. He isn't going far but still it's not the same as we can't make stupid jokes, laugh sheepishly at our sly schemes and also share gossip & talk cantonese in the presence of the non-Malaysians.
On one hand I envy him, but on the other also wish him the best of luck......we'll still be the dynamic duo, but instead we'll only be reprising our awesomeness roles when we're out of the office.
So the instead of the divorce & separation on the dynamic duo, we're just taking a break and now operate on flexible after hours.....that's after 6pm :) ........ hmmmm, kinda feels like the Dark Knight, Batman. Ooooh, which I can't wait for the movie release on July 17
Signing off ..... the Scrawny Tiger.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan
Last weekend was out & about when dear old Stanley & Pek Bee of our Bishan gang decided to 'ajak' me to watch Kungfu Panda........too bad, I've watched that with the wifey....and had a good time too.
So being the movie desperados they are.......they quickly switched and asked if I wanted to watch Adam Sandler's "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" YDMWTZ
"Hmmmmm *scratching my balls*, Oh well I'm good for it......it's not like I had loads to do on a lazy Sunday evening". Off I popped upstairs (since their timing was so 'ngam' that I was at Junction8 already) to get the tickets and for 7.05pm session ....then hurried to resume my initial plan before I was rudely interrupted at 6.20pm. I had plan to enjoy a bowl of Ajisen Ramen's Hokkaido Seafood Ramen....IT'S THE BEST!, THE BEST, I TELL YOU, gotta try to love it....the scallops, the crab meat, the soup ...... wahh blogging about it and I'm already salivating =p
It's ok, ordered the meal at 6.30pm and finish by 6.45pm, took me 1omins to gobble it down..Yuuuummmmmyyy!!
Ok I'm starting to digress. Here's a quick review of the show which was as usual as all the other genre of Sandler's movies which mostly are just plain slapstick comedy. He's closest rival would be Ben Stiller. YDMWTZ strikes me as really insulting yet quite endearing as it pokes fun at the Israelis & Palestinians age old conflict & war. Not to mention that it's clearly those no-brainer-laugh-out-loud-till-your-sides-ache-and-tears-flow type of comedy......or you can just say it's S-I-L-L-Y!
Zohan is a top-super-soldier type of Israeli soldier that fakes his death to go to America to be a hairstylish (a mix of the macho with gay), ends up at a Palestinian saloon to learn the ropes and falls for the beautiful sexy lady boss/owner. He starts from the bottom, sweeping hairs (even he can make that funny) and finally gets his chance and proves to be a potential stylish but the catch is that he offers "extra" services. At first I thought his 'special' approach was kinda funny but by half the way thru the hairwash, I was feeling a tad disgusted...... Well, it is a Adam Sandler movie after all so I shouldn't be suprise.
I won't give much of the movie away but watch it to see the slapstick comedy as he is best at but also before you do, read a little about the middle eastern culture else some of the subtle movie comedy like the damn fascination with Hummus will be ...... ummm, how shall I put it? Swooosh...pass by you just like that and you didn't even get the joke. Also, as with majority of Sandler's shows, his good friend and slapstick comic buddy
Mr.Rob Schneider makes more than a cameo apperance this time.....he is a supporting cast. Put these 2 together and you'll know there's definitely more than a barrel of laughs in store.
Verdict: Good for a Boring Sunday as it helps to cheer up and occasionally make you sides ache. Better to get it on DVD and watch with friends at home.....only if you're a Sandler fan =)_

Encrypted post - Decipher please....
It's official, June 2008 is my FAVOURITE month this year so far!!!
It has brought me much JOY by circumstances of many STIMULATING instances which I would remember as though it was engraved with a kryptonite tipped blade into my COLD DARK heart, stripping away all insanity from reality and recomposing it into current events.
Just for the record, I appreciate all that has been done by my dear LOVABLE bossman that has led the way for many DEDICATED followers. He is OUTSTANDING, such TRUTH, such COURAGE, often potraying as FASHIONABLE....OMG, it makes me faint just to think of the bossman.
The man all hailed as the bossman is one who is IMPARTIAL yet would seem like your best FRIEND. Yes you heard it here......he is GOOD & the BEST.

Learn to choose and walk your choice
Ever get the sensation that life is meant to be lived to it's fullest and every life experience that we have is something we learn from or at least cherish the exact memory of the moment coz when it passes, the feelings & emotion at that very dot in the space & time continuum will never be experience again.
I envy people that have had a hard life and I envy those that had an easy life as well. Nevertheless, what we make of our lives today is a result of our experience and choices that we have made thus far.
No one ever said life was gonna always be easy, no one promised a happy ending, no one but the almighty himself would dare dictate our life. However, knowing that our actions are guided by experiences and life lessons learnt, at every turn of our life when at the crossroads of choices, decisions are to be made......this is where we decide on the choices we have and take action based on the projected image/illusion that we would likely see as the outcome.
Know this though, that for every road taken, there is another not tread ....... never regret the choices made and walk proudly to lead a path where others have feared to venture.

Fate spins a wicked destiny
Over the years, I have had many wonderful moments in life that inspire, motivate, challenge, electrify and at times disappoint me. Never have I given up, lost track of the 'bigger picture', the 'greater goal' or even had any hint of the satisfaction garnered even for a tingling moment of sensation.
All that is about to change.....
June 2008 marks a historically defining moment in my life .... a Life where I had once fought hard to be 2 steps ahead of every path I take so that in any eventful situation, I would have always emerge like the smart ass that everyone looks to for guidance, the person that would least likely be surprised of a certain outcome......I had strive to defy what others would have come to describe as destiny or fate. Surrendering and succumbing to the very notion of fate & destiny has not been something I have ever been able to come to terms and still do not think I can.
In my woeful heart & my logical brain, I'm split right down the middle ..... neither conforming to the fate that binds us, but chartering towards the destiny that beckons.
I resisted with a strong will for action & desire for change which challenges the very existence & belief in the powers that be of the immortal ancient gods which puts us to shame or doom even with the slightest thought of destruction.
I have somehow learned to accept defeat and am compounded to accept that the more we try to change or challenge the norm, the very change itself would result in a defeat that would revert back to the beginning......only with a slight change.
The fate is as what is written, is as what was told, is as what is to be....defy it and you deny yourself, deny existence itself and deny all that has been precious to you.
This is gonna sound cliche but from the movie 'Superman Returns' it was quoted
