Watched 2012 last night. Didn’t plan it in advance, Ras only asked me in the evening to join him and Luk for movie at 8pm. When we reached there, the seats for 8pm show were sold out. Then we decided to watch the 10pm show but only after much deliberations.
The reason was because there were no better seats to choose from, with only the 2 rows at the front left. Luk and I didn’t want to sit at the front rows. We walked away from the counter but after much coaxing from Ras, I let in and Luk had no choice but to follow us back to the ticketing counter .
In the end, we decided to do this.
Only those seats with colour were available, together with the 1st and 2nd row from the screen. I sat at the red seat, Luk at the dark blue seat and Ras at the green seat. Initially, I jokingly asked Luk to seat at the yellow seat, me at the red seat and Ras at the light blue seat and that would be fun LOL!
So, have you ever been to movie with bunch of friends but end up sitting scattered around? Last night was my first time. Not referring to my sexual experience, duh! Wait, I’m a virgin at heart and mind.
What about 2012? Let me see. The special effects effects are incredibly awesome. You want to see kick ass, awesome explosions? 2012 has atomic bomb like explosion, better than any explosion you get in Die Hard installments, Armageddon, The Rock, GI Joe etc. You want earthquakes? Let’s send California sinking into the sea, shall we?
Fires everywhere, tsunamis flooding India, China, Japan. Even Mount Himalaya and Everest Peak are not spared from the gigantic waves. More people get killed in this movie alone than all the end of day movies combined. Yes, I kid you not. 2012 kills gazillion people without breaking a sweat and as usual, the hero and his family will survive against all odds, on cue for a happy ending.
The storyline sucks. If you’re looking for a reasonable perspective, don’t watch the movie. It offers none. In fact, it is kinda ridiculous, I’m going to offer some senseless ’morals of the story’ and ‘conclusions’ on my own after watching the movie.
1. Money talks. It pays to be rich and connected. It helps you to get somewhere and in this movie, to get your ass saved. Heh, locally, that is how it works, too. Or if you don’t have the dough, you have to be lucky. F*cking lucky not just lucky lucky.
2. Chinese are great builders, they can do crazy things with ridiculous deadline. And they care about their families, a lot. Oh ya, never say no to your grandmother if you’re Chinese.
3. Indians are the smartest people on earth and they always speak English in a very Indian way. Now how come that Tibetan Chinese speaks good English lol
4. Russians love fast cars, they talk in a very deep voice. Any Russian can do a voice over for Vin Diesel if he is having a bad sore throat. And Russians treat women like garbage.
5. The last president of the United States of America is black. And he has a hot daughter. Why the president in the movie always has a hot daughter?
6. The person with the inside scoops, the one with conspiracy theories which later proven true is always a crackpot. And crackpot always don’t shave.
7. Hero always has dysfunctional family. Overly stressed by Hollywood films, dramas. Cliche!
8. The world consists of just G8 countries. Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh ya, and Brazil. Eh, how come China is in? Oh, refer point 2.
9. Flying a plane is an easy feat, when you’re in a desperate situation.
10. Where ever the hero goes, disastrous trails follow closely behind. Literally. But not too close, just close enough for him to get away..
11. A lot of assholes can afford to fork out 1 billion Euro.
In my unworthy opinion, 2012 is just another doomsday movie. *yawn* Now, go get your ticket and sit for 2 hours to watch the entire continents destroyed!
ps: Couldn’t help but noticed some cinema goers are really fucking scums. Sit at your seat, follow the number written on your ticket, asshole! And fucking keep your phone in silent mode. Who cares if you have the coolest ringtone in town if you are an uncivilised fucker.
Let’s talk about career. Do you love your job? Is it what you wanted to be? Do you still remember what you wrote for the essay ‘My Ambition’ when you were in primary school? Do you remember when you told your mother, “Mom, I want to become Satria Baja Hitam when I grow up.” *doing that hand pose thing* Your mom laughed and said “No dear, you can’t be a Satria Baja Hitam. I think you should be a dentist.” And you asked, “Why mom?” which your mother replied, “Because dentists make good money“.
Tendangan Padu Maut!!
Let’s talk about marriage. Life partner. Do you love your partner? Is she/he who you wanted to be with? Do you still remember want you wrote in your little diary “I want to marry a rich man” or “I want to have a pretty and sexy wife”? Do you remember what your mother told you? “Boy boy, when you grow up and you want to find a wife, go to Kajang.” And you asked, “Why mom?” which your mother replied, “Because people in Kajang have beautiful teeth“. You then asked, “But mom you are from Sekinchan?” which your mom replied, “That’s why your mom doesn’t have nice teeth.”
ps: I’m in the wrong field, because obviously the kid in the conversation above was not me. I want to earn RM56,000 a month pulling teeth! An implant alone can net me RM40,000! Sob sob sob.. I’m missing out all the good things.
pss: No offence to Sekinchan people. Laugh lah a bit.. if you have beautiful teeth..
pss: Satria Baja Hitam was my favourite 4pm show last time. And Gaban.
I went to watch Transformers 2 – The Revenge of the Fallen last week.
I like
1. Watching Mikaela.
2. Watching Megan Fox.
3. Watching Mikaela.
I dislike
1. Optimus Prime with lips.
2. Some stupid, messy and lousy plots. 2 Allspark pieces, Decepticons steal one and use it to bring back Megatron to life, but Sam needs to run across the world to get what what key and uses that to revive Optimus Prime??
Huh? Oh we have a female robot now? Oozing with sex appeal, straddling your lap without crushing it, so cool!! Reminds me of female robot in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Shagalicious.
Don’t let me start with that geriatric robot.
Too lazy to pick and point out the confusing shits in the movie. It’s just a movie, one with not so good plots.
3. I can’t see shit during the robot fights.
4. US military playing major role defending Sam against the Decepticons? What a brag. A little bit too much over exposed.
Anyway it’s a fun movie to watch, if you are not into anal. I mean, don’t be anal. Er, I rephrase, don’t be an obsessively perfectionist. Oh yea, don’t watch it if you are having constipation. Heard of anal retentive? Okay, lame joke. Friday is the day to be lame, that’s my excuse.
Well, anyone of you want to watch Transformers? I just received something in my email, somebody is offering free vouchers to watch Transformers.

Compulsory day off for maids
By ZALINAH NOORDIN
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has agreed to make it compulsory for employers to give a day off a week for their maids.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said: “The ministry will make it mandatory for all domestic helpers to sign the contract of employment containing provisions like salary, the name of employers, their workplaces and the compulsory one day off a week.”
Yes you heard it right! Finally, our caring government has decided to make it compulsory for employers to give a day off a week for their maids. Something to rejoice? Perhaps not.
What it’s like working as a maid in Malaysia? Generally, maids in Malaysia needs to work 7 days a week, hardly get any day off, low pay (actually I think the agencies ripped both the empoyers and the maids off and make the most money out of this) Worst if they work with fussy employers and need to perform all sort of task from cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, sending and picking them from school, cooking food, washing cars, doing laundry, watering gardens, cleaning shits, walking the dog, taking care of the geriatrics you-name-the-work etc.
Maids working in Malaysia = Superwomen or Wonderwomen. These foreign maids choose to work her despite the low salary because it’s nearer to their hometown, common and very much similar environment – weather, food, language etc..
I once saw a maid with a family in a shopping mall, buying groceries. The poor maid was carrying the daughter on one hand, and pushing a trolly packed to the brim using another hand. A boy was tugging closely to her, must be the couple’s son. The couple walked in front carrying nothing, lenggang-lenggang kangkung. (strolling freely with willy hanging out ok-i-don’t-know-why-i-type-this-haha)
Another time, I was eating at this one food court, I saw this one family eating and the maid was sitting on another table, eating alone. No, the family’s table was not fully seated. WTF? She looked so lonely and sad sitting alone, chewing her food.
So, it’s not surprising and downright shocking for me to read about the employers prostesting against this move. It is one thing to read about how inconsiderate for these people to think ‘a day off in a week’ is something ‘lavish’ or should not be granted to their workers and it is another to read the excuses given by them. I was dumbfounded and I must say it is kinda disgusting to read the excuses/reasons given by some of these retarded sadists, for I can’t imagine such inconsiderate nincompoop-moron-dungu-idiots living among us.
She is apprehensive that the day off would be used by the maid to get involved in “unhealthy activities.
Oh? They get a day off and they would use this ‘great chance’ to do nothing but to get involved in ‘unhealthy activities’? This is the lamest excuse I ever heard. After working their asses off like donkeys (sorry donkey) for 6 days straight, they sure can’t wait to get involved in ‘unhealthy activities’ heh! So, if they don’t work as maid, then they must be plotting something evil like robbing banks, rempit-ing or killing orphans then?
“I don’t mean to discriminate but from past stories, we’ve all heard about how maids have gone missing after a week of working.”
We’ve all heard also how employers treat some maids inhumanely, worst than treating a dog prior to them gone missing, after a week of working. If anything, most of the maids ‘run away’ because of better offers from other places. (forget that part about them getting cheated, for a while) These employers must be scared of their maids getting or hearing some good ‘lubang‘ (opportunities) from other maids.
“Imagine if all the 300,000 foreign maids are given the same day off, then places like shopping malls will be teeming with these people!”
Damn! No wonder the shopping malls are full during the weekend! It is because most Malaysians work only 5 days a week and would be free during the weekend! Malaysia is so small, now with so many people not working during the weekend, especially when 300,000 foreign maids getting a day off, everywhere must be packed with people! How scary! Waaaaaaaaa! And, listen to the tone this idiot used to describe the foreign maids – ‘these people!’
Malaysians are hypocrites a lot. Not only the politicians. They want the best for themselves like working only 5 days a week, shorter working hours, minimum wage. high paying jobs, handsome perks and all the good shits, but when the foreign workers ask something as reasonable as ‘a day off’ in a week, they would say it’s unfair, not a wise move or downright no and offer some stupid justifications.
Hypocrites. I hate hypocrites. *crush them like cockraches* *stamp stamp*
ps: Ranting post on Friday night. That’s new.
pss: I wanted to write something along the line ‘Umno is in a hurry to sodomise Pas and Muhyiddin is a snake’ but I guess that needs to wait.
