Comparing the Joker

Have you watch The dark Knight already? If you have not, what are you waiting for, go grab your tickets and enjoy the ride through out this movie. As for myself? I've watched it and I enjoyed it very much. As most movie goers, the public's eyes would normally be on the hero or the main actor of the movie. But guess what? This series of Batman, for my own personal opinion, The light shines hard on the bad guy, namely, The Joker.

As some of you may already know, there's this huge dispute on who is be better joker amongst the 3 actors. One being the old school joker starred by Cesar Romero, The modern day joker by Jack Nicholson, and the other by the latest joker from the dark knightHeath Ledger.

Cesar Romero:

Positives: Very animated, exceptional laugh, and of course, great over-exaggerated smile.

Negatives: Maybe it’s just me but although Cesar Romero added much arm movement to animate The Joker character, he seemed a bit stiff with his legs (unlike The Riddler in the original TV series - quite animated). I would have liked to have seen a bit more jumping around (am I being too picky?). Also, his lines were a bit cheesy. Of course that’s no fault of Mr. Romero’s, but it’s still something to consider.

Jack Nicholson:

Positives: Best facial expressions out of the three. The perfect marriage of a comical court jester and a murderous criminal.

Negatives: Laugh was just so-so. Also I personally didn’t care for all the hats he wore. You gotta show off the disheveled chemically mutated hair. He also wasn’t as animated as I’d like him to be. But then again, Mr. Nicholson is known for his personality and acting prowess, not for jumping around.

Heath Ledger:

Positives: You can’t really tell it’s Heath Ledger (and it’s a positive because if you could tell it was him, you probably wouldn’t be able to get the image of The Joker sodomizing Jake Gyllenhaal out of your head). Also, it looks like he has some good threads in this one (rather than the typical purple and green attire). And finally, it sounds like he has a pretty good laugh - not too corny, not too forced.

Negatives: In some shots in The Dark Knight movie trailer, The Joker kinda looks homeless, which actually works against my assumption that he’ll have some interesting attire (we’ll have to wait and see). Also, the white makeup and red lips look like The Joker just got drunk and fell into his mother’s makeup case.

Overall, After watching the dark knight, I personally feel that Ledger does a better job in the joker compared to the previous 2 icons.

Heath portrayed the homicidal side of the joker. His laugh portrays great evil within and by the way he looks, he's very much unpredictable. And just like the joker in the comic, he throws a bad joke over from time to time.

The previous 2 jokers kinda shows they are trying too hard to crack a joke and their laugh are much forceful compared to Ledger's natural look-a-like laughs.

Below is a video of the comparison of the joker character of Jack and Heath, I'm sorry I couldn't find the comparison one for Cesar but the 2nd video is a performance by the late Cesar Romero. Enjoy...

A Shitty Melody?

Ever had a melody being sung during your certain moods and it clicks so well till you're even amazed with it?

Apparently this just happened to me yesterday. These things do happens but it only happens once in a blue moon and you would probably have to wait another long while before it happens again. I have these situations very often though... But this incident happened to me which was weird, funny and most of all, twice in a day!!

You know some office buildings, you have these soft speaking embedded to your ceiling playing music from the radio or some CDs? Our office have this system as well but it's mostly tuned to a radio station called Light and Easy. It usually plays those oldies and light tunes to sooth your already stressed day at work.

Case 1:

I was very busy in the morning, well usually I would be busy in the morning as people will ask of me to do something or probably even some system or server is acting up. I wouldn't have much time to talk or even do any of my personal stuff like checking emails, facebooks or so on. :p

OK As I was saying, it's a usual routine that I would go to the washroom to do my "business" in the morning. I was so stressed and busy till the extent where it even wouldn't allow me to get my daily "business" done. So after completing my job, all worn out from work in the morning session, I stole some time off to do what I NEED to do.

As I was half way there, sitting down on the toilet seat, taking a dump while smoking my stress away, there I heard this song, the song where the radio was playing over the ceiling...

Feelings - Engelbert Humperdinck

Here goes the Lyrics...

Feelings.....nothing more than feelings....
Trying to forget my....my feelings of LOOOVEEE~~~

I was like WTF?! I'm already FEELING stressed out and then this song kicks in to boost my FEELINGS~! I was already almost on my edge when this song really kicks in to add spice to the mood =.="

Case 2:

This also happened the very same day except it's during the evening. I'm not sure whether is it the food or something but my stomach was aching like a wild monkey beating on drums...

I gushed to the toilet, in a very panicky way, trying to remove my pants as fast as I could but you know, the faster you try to do it, the harder it is for you to take it off...then I heard....



And the lyric goes....

Step by step... OOoohh Baby....

I was like Dammit!! Can't a man take a dump in peace??!!

First Musical Ever

Have you guys ever been to a staged musical before? Honestly I have not and as of 2 weeks back, I have lost my virginity of staged musical.

It's called The Beauty and The Beast. You know the old classical fairy tale where an ordinary girl who meets this ugly ferocious beast then somehow she managed to "tame" the beast up and they got together and be happily ever after, bla bla bla, the story usually goes on and on and on with one villain.

Eileen got us 2 tickets for the premier musical and it worth RM350 each. Plus we get to meet the cast before the show starts. Here's some pictures we took that day

Photobucket

It was said in our ticket that we can meet the cast in Room 304 and 305. We were like wondering how come we have to go into a hotel room to meet the cast? I was hoping more like a private "meet" LOL but unfortunately there were swarms of people hanging around the meeting hall.

Note that I looked kinda shy in the picture. Please take note that I wasn't ready for the picture taking yet when the photographer SNAPPED our picture. Somehow I have this feeling that I may be a very shy person from the inside. I know I know, A lot of you would puke or make funny noises when I say that I'm shy but heck, the picture proves it all!

Photobucket

Photobucket

It was said that we're not allowed to take any pictures in the theater but you know what? we're Malaysians and we do what Malaysians do best - Breaking the LAW. Till you think this is barely enough, we also did....

Photobucket

Hmm... What else... Oh sorry about not being able to blog last week. I was on a busy work schedule and was relocated to Singapore for the week. Sadly, there wasn't much pictures taken while I was there apart from the evening I'm at the airport about to go back to Malaysia; So I figured it really isn't much to blog about it. But guess what?

Usually people would go to another country to shop for clothing or even accessories when there's a giant sales going on. BUT.... I didn't manage to get myself any of those. Well, I found a Polo Ralph Lauren Shirt that I've been looking for a long time but when I had that opportunity to buy it, I blew that chance away. Instead, I got these...

Photobucket
Tiesto's Search of Sunrise 7. This CD has been out for a while but our Beloved Country (sense the sarcasm) had not gotten it in yet...

Photobucket
Cafe Del Mar Vol 15. I've always loved the gentle sound of chill music from this series. I didn't even know volume 15 was released until I saw it in Singapore... Again... Our beloved country...

Photobucket
Firelight. Never heard of this band before though but it's quite good, Music wise. I mean it's rock and all but somehow it reminds me a little of Evanescence.

And last but not least, Eileen made me look like a fool.... I'm amazed how big a panda can grow up to... Dammit my tummy's showing....

A Leap to the Past?

You know how technology pushes itself forward ever so rapidly these days? Just merely 14 years ago, there wasn't such a thing called the INTERNET. There wasn't even mobile phones so common like you see in this age. In such short period of time, communication has advanced in such great length that no one back in those days would ever imagined where we are today.

Speaking of which, Guess what I've received a few days back...

Photobucket

Photobucket

LOL A fucking telegram! These things don't come so common anymore. When I first got it, I was like "What the heck is this?"

When I opened it then I only realized what it is. This is my very first telegram notice and let me tell you, it's not a good news.

Photobucket

It's from a company called Kudrat and Co. It's such a fucking lame company and well, the services they provide are somewhat... Unprofessional... wanna know why??

It's a fucking debt collecting company. Apparently I owe a bank some money and I already made the payment. They still called and asked me to pay up...

The person whom "handled" me however is a fucking loser. Well, a Sikh to be exact... Here's how the situation goes...

One week ago, there's this guy called Jaswan Singh called me regarding the payment of my credit card, I told him that I would make the payment and yes, I did made the payment and called him back telling him the payment had been made. He assured me he'll check on it with the bank and get back to me if there's any problems.

About a week later, he called again, this time his tone of his voice was someone angry and being rude. Vulgarity was part of the conversation let me assure you that. I told him I'll call him back after calling the bank. I'm like What the fuck man?! The money has already been debited from the cheque's bank. =.="

When I called the bank, after several minutes we found out that the cheque department of the bank had some issues since the 14th of the month. They said there's a lot of clients who paid via cheque but the it was not cleared to the said bank. The telebanker was very kind and told me she would look into my case and informed Kudrat and Co appropriately...

Here's the thing...

THIS JASWAN FUCKING SINGH IS SO FUCKING STUPID. DOES HE EVER INVESTIGATE WITH THE FUCKING BANK FIRST BEFORE CALLING AND EVEN TALKING RUDELY TO HIS CLIENTS? WE'RE THE MOTHER FUCKERS WHO PAID HIM FOR HIS JOB AND THIS IS HOW HE TREATS HIS CLIENTS? NEXT TIME, JAS-FUCKING-WAN SINGH, CHECK WITH THE BANK FIRST BEFORE APPROACHING YOUR CLIENTS. ELSE YOU MIGHT GET YOUR DICK AND YOUR WIFE'S CUNT INTO TROUBLE. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ONE MORE CALL FROM YOU, I'LL HAVE YOUR MOTHER FUCKING JOB. BIATCH~

Last but not least, Kudrat, these days, we don't use telegrams no more... We use emails. Wait, Wait.... hmm but for your case, think u guys should go back old school...

BACK TO MORSE CODE BABY~ LOL

Karaoke Session

A couple of weeks ago, my ex-colleagues organized this eat and sing your heart out thing with some of us close friends. Reason being is that they want to catch up on old times since most of us don't work in the same organization no more.

But the actual fact is, they just want to get together and show off to each other how well they can sing after the past few months we did not meet :p

Here's some pictures of the event to prove what I've stated.

Photobucket

If you do notice, it's the same guy that sings over and over again. Fact is this guy, Jordan, doesn't really sing from the start. But... after a couple of "drinks", the true colour reveals :p Also notice the girls that was surrounding him while he sings. You would assume that he's quite a charmer when he sings?

R.O.F.L... boy have you been taken for a ride. First picture shows that he can't read chinese lyrics but can sing em, so, our dear friend, Connie reads the words by his ear while he sings it out. Latest and most effective way to teach someone how to read chinese :p

2nd picture is basically camwhores lol.... and 3rd is While Jordan sings, WE DANCE!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Yeap another bunch of camwhores. It's like this: once there's a camera around the room, people will somehow chase after the camera for shots to be taken :p

Photobucket

See what I mean? How cute!! 2 hot chicks some more. But...sorry guys, they're taken. I just don't wanna get your hopes all high up the sky :p

Photobucket

OK. Here's another deception. This is the 2nd time we gather together for a karaoke session. There's this promotion where we get was the birthday promotion. We get some drinks and a bottle of wine and a cake in the package. So since Connie have a membership card for the said karaoke, she gets to become the "birthday girl" for the night! This is the 2nd time and it's still Connie's birthday. 1 year with 3 birthdays (including the real one) is a lot to take in my honest opinion. hahaha...

Photobucket

Last but not least, this is the whole group picture we took together that night. Don't see me in the picture right? OF COURSE I'M NOT IN THERE.... I'm the camera man :p

Somehow they told me not to put these pictures that I have taken to Facebook... Should I? hmmm.... *evil grin*

Back to the Primitive

Last Friday was one of the worse nights one could ever imagine to go through. Let me put it to you this way, Friday's normally what people would categorize gateway to relaxation. In a way it's quite true. You worked hard over the weekdays, and when weekend finally hits, you start to have plans over the weekend to either have a fruitful event or even laze and rest home till Monday strikes again.

Usually my choice would be to laze and rest at home. Not going out at all and so on... But then again, there's an old saying, you usually don't get what you want. For my case, it's usually true. Every turn of weekend strikes, my gf and I would plan to stay home and rest but for the past few weeks, it didn't not happen for is, eventually there'll be some smarty pants who would want a piece of us. Apparently we're too happening for people to resist not asking us out :p I'm joking...

OK back to the topic. On Friday evening, I was out to have dinner celebrating a farewell to a close friend who is flying off to somewhere to work. After dinner, I went to pick up my gf from her place back to mine. Don't ask me where is it, the drive takes me 45 mins to reach. =.="

So after a hectic day at work, a tiring drive from one end of the city to another, I would expect nothing less than a comfortable bed in which I'm familiar with and a cool breeze of the air condition in my room. But guess what? When I'm about to reach home, all I could see is total darkness. Pitch black road all the way back to my place. I was like, "oh shit! blackout"

Apparently my area was in total darkness since 4pm and when I reached home, it's already 12am. For our household, if there's no electricity, there'll be no...

1) Lights, Duh~
2) Air-Condition, Double Duh~
3) No water... ok this is cause our water supply ties to a water pump, so if no power means pump does not work = no water T.T
4) No computer... I left my notebook in office, so...

All in all, it's really back to the primitive. It's been raining almost everyday but for last Friday, THERE'S NO FUCKING RAIN! What luck huh? So anyways, thank god we have a backup bathroom which runs water directly from the water tank up above the roof. But.... my pee has higher water pressure compared to that shower =.="

After a nice cool water shower, I thought to myself maybe I could get some sleep after having a shower. Usually that's the case you see... Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep well... here's some stuff that I tried...

1) Sleep without my comforter ....... FAILED
2) Opened the window to sleep directly on how the wind outside blows in ..... FAILED
3) Sleep on the floor ..... FAILED
4) Use an old magazine to fan myself while trying to sleep ... FAILED
5) Proposed the idea of checking in to a nearby cheap hotel to sleep ..... PROPOSAL REJECTED
6) Proposed to sleep in the car. At least until the electricity comes back ..... PROPOSAL REJECTED

Overall, I just stick myself from rolling around the room, starring outside the window looking at the power guys fixing the problem, and fanning myself with some old magazine.

3 hours later...

3am: I told myself, that's it! I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I got up, took my keys and about to leave my room and shoot straight to my car to get some air-condition feel... then...

POOF! The Power's back up!!!! I was like jumping around my room with joy as I feel the air that's blown from the fan to my face. The sensation was so familiar and welcoming that you feel immediately at ease. I switched on my air-condition and within minutes, I'm in dreamland!!

Moral of the story: We're so pampered with electricity at this age till we'll eventually die from suffering if we don't have any. How are we gonna survive if our lifestyle is forced to change due to Global warming?? This is something I really wonder...
