afraid of the dark??

one of my fave things to do on the evil isle is sit by the radio at midnight with my mum and listen to ria's 'misteri jam 12'. its a malay program where listeners send in emails & kall to share on air personal enkounters with the supernatural. pontianak (a.k.a 'fatimah rocker') & pocong are always hot topiks. i found it entertaining until last week... they talked about hauntings on pulau ubin. the hairs on the back of my neck stood on ends!!

as most of you know.... my fren drowned at ubin. i was there on the island but was far away at the quarry at the time she drowned. a few kallers apparently mentioned that my "late" fren has turned into "sumthing else". sumthing skary!! lots of reports of families fishing by that river klaim they've seen her. it was kreepy!!

a kouple of days ago... my brother in law made me watch a reality style doko kalled 'wujud 2'. they challenge skeptik viewers by chucking them in haunted parts of the evil isle from midnight to dawn & place infra-red kameras to kapture the experience. oohmygaaawd!! the images!! so skaaaaary!!! i havent been able to sleep well since then. *shudders* i dunt understand why we're kurious kreatures who challenge & question the existence of such things. just becos we dunt see them dunt mean they dunt exist!!

giggly grrlfrens

irenes youngest brother Jacky made us watch this horrendous video kalled '1 guy 1 kup' where this dude squats on a glass jar & inserts it in his anus. the glass jar breaks!!! theres blood & broken shards of glass everywhere!!! it was so gross we broke into severe giggles!!!! jacky sekretly kaught us on kamera fone........



gawd. no wunder my jaws were aching from last night. i just realized i am such a grrlie grrl sumtimes!! aiyoh... so kuniang laughing & squirming. oh dear. haHahaHAHAHA!!! i'm too tired from my earlier kick boxing sesh to blogg right now. but i'll try put up a kouple of entries before i leave the evil isle. good night yo!!

red cliff 2

one of the kewlest films i've watched this year has to be red cliff 2!! it chronikles the definative battle that changed the history of china now as we noe it. i rarely blogg about films (and am not about to start). but just wanted to say this film forced me to think...!! how one single event in our lives kud radikally alter the kourse of our future. that there is no poetik justice in fighting one war to end all wars. there are no real winners in war. we all inevitably lose sumhow. 

we fight wars in the name of justice & ideology. in all honesty watching this film... sumtimes i forget who the real "hero & villian" are. lines get blurred after awhile. all in the name of demokracy. ideals. land. race. religion. oil. i am bemused by how far we've kome in warfare: better strategies, alliances forged, newer bio-weapons & so on. i always wunder which kame first. technology to "save" humanity (e.g medicine) or technologies that will kill us all.

zhou yu (played by tony leung my fave asian actor!!!!) & his wife quote chunks of sun-tzu's 'art of war' in the film. and they're not the only kharakters that do!!!! gosh. listening to the "exchange". those words so poetik. beautiful. mesmerizing even!! when you think about real death & destruktion on battlefields... its pretty ironik hey? like looking at a blood diamond & thinking "how kud sumthing so pretty kauze so much destruktion & death??" we ALL walk away from the movies with a different perspektive. this is a fucking brilliant film!!!!! .... watch it so we kan exchange notes. its a krucial promise!!!!!!!

eng wah magik!!

theres a new cineplex at ang mo kio hub. insted i always return to the old eng wah 'jubilee' cinema time after time again. they're skater friendly. air-conditioning is always artik kold. its perpetually empty. but most importantly..... they got the most kick ass presentation trailer EVER!!!!!!

orgasms usually happen at the end. but mine arrives sumwhere in the beginning!! becos i looove love love love this 20 sekond trailer. its stuck in a strange 60s time-warp with the orchestral musik & whiskey a-go-go "wah wah" porno distortion. never fails to put a huge grin on my face!!!! *sigh* they dunt kompose musik like they used to. anyway i watched "red cliff 2" yesterday arvo. it was fucking AMAZING!!! will blogg about it soonest. 

where were you???

2 words..... GLOBAL....... GATHERING!!!!!!!!! i was there!!! 

subalterns strike back

Three British tourists mocked a 76-year-old rickshaw driver because he couldn't pedal fast enough and posted a video of the panting old man on YouTube. The trio ran off without paying the £5 fare and escaped in a taxi yelling “ten dollars my f***ing arse!”. Angered by the way the Brits treated the rickshaw driver, Sinagporeans bombarded the media expressing their feelings. “Don't come back to Singapore,” wrote one. “We will be waiting for you.” While another berated them for behaving like Singapore was still a British colony. The guilty party said he was sorry to cause so much offence to Singaporeans and posted an apology online & removed the video.....



.... but it was put back on by an angry Singaporean under the heading 'UK BASTARDS'; taken off the Daily Mail. its shocking these Brits are ignoramuses to the fact that people see wat you post on the world wide web!! *duh!* but its equally sad how singaporean always rule badly behaved 'ang mohs' as an inevitable result of post-colonialism. i dunt see an attack on national identity but rather an insulting denigration of the old & weak. as a traveller... i understand the frustration of paying cut-throat prices. but a seasoned travellor always haggles first... not later!! heart wrenching to see the old man subserviently ask for payment from those scumbags. however how does it kompare to the person who re-posted the video on youtube adding fuel to the roaring flames of hate?! its all hearsay at the end of the day eh? *sigh*
