The Joker's Killing Jokes

It is very rare that a character in one single movie comes up with so many quotes from its peculiar perception of the world that' ll mess up your brains. Heath Ledger's Joker in the movie Dark Knight is one I know of. It has made to my most interesting characters in movies list.. which I've been thinking of writing for a while now. 

As I was surfing the net looking for them I found this on NYDailyNews.com.

Jack Nicholson, who played the Joker in 1989 - and who was furious he wasn't consulted about the creepy role - offered a cryptic comment when told Ledger was dead.

"Well," Nicholson told reporters in London early Wednesday, "I warned him."

Ledger recently told reporters he "slept an average of two hours a night" while playing "a psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy ...

"I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going."

Prescription drugs didn't help, he said.

Creepy ain't it? Note that Ledger died from consumption of a combination of prescription drugs.

Just as I expected the Joker's quotes are posted all over the internet so I don't need to stop and rewind throughout the movie to write back what the Joker said. There are a lot them and some even quoted every single word, but these are my personal favourites.

I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger

Introduce a little anarchy, you upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I am an agent of chaos. And you know the thing about chaos, Harvey? It’s fair.

I’m like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one…I’d just do things.

See, their morals, their code: it’s a bad joke. They’re dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see, when the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other.

Alalala Tuk Jgn Saman

Skrg semua main saman je skrg. Facebook kene saman. Apple saman Samsung. Samsung saman Apple. Hari ni lak aku terbaca Reebok lak kene saman dengan Federal Trade Commission psl Reebok claim dalam iklan kasut Easytone diaorg boleh men'shape'kan body gerangan siapa yang memakainya. Tp Reebok tetap claim yang diaorg tak tipu walaupun diaorg kalah saman tu. Lgpun diaorg kate kene saman $25 juta je..kitorg dah untung $340 juta..lek ahh. eh siot jer diaorg ni.  

**Iklan2 sabun dan syampoo kat Malaysia ni pun yang digambarkan seolah-olah memberi pengalaman yg orgasmik patut kene saman jugak. haru betui..keh3

Are We Human Enough?

It was simply bizarre to see how sick the society has been. My heart almost stopped when I watched the CCTV recording of a 2-year-old toddler in China who was ran over on the street twice just because nobody even cared to stop by and help. The poor girl named Yueyue eventually was picked up by a seem-to-be trash collector who if so she is one, is denied wealth but not moral values like all of the passers by who ignored the little child. I hope they all burn in Hell.

This is how low our society had degraded. We have become too screwed to justify the right thing to do when we find ourselves in situations where anything of our importance is at stake. I cannot imagine what people would do if not for fear of being caught..what would become of our world. I believe that people generally are only as good as the law demands them to be. Something like the Joker said in the Batman movie. I'm sure we all made him proud.

I can't understand how inhumane the laws of the country that bans its citizen from helping accident victims. It's like they are being robbed of their human rights. Other than that, the one child per family law is at the worst place it could be implemented since the Chinese rank the importance of family name and heritage highly, demeaning one's daughter to become unwanted. 

It is said that the girl had already died after being hospitalized. Her death may be grieved by many but perhaps she is better off than living in this cruel world.

Rajinnye...

"Amboi..rajinnye wat keje"

"Amboi sibuknye dia"

"Tak gi makan ke?"

Mende diaorg ni..bkn main awal kuar. siap ajak makan lg...belum lg kul 1..12.30 pun belum lg. tau la makanan kat kantin baru ni cepat je abih. xkan la 12.30 dah kuar kot. jam aku rosak ke..jam dinding, jam tangan, jam kat pc..sampai hp aku pun aku bw kuar nak tgk kul brape. semua same je timenye.

aku tanya kat En Ali yg selalu sibuk x abih2 buat keje kdg2 sampai x makan pun..

"Mane semua org En Ali? cepat tul kuarnye..saya ingat jam saya rosak td"

 En Ali pun sambil2 tgh buat keje..dalam keadaan yang agak konfius senapas je jawab..."Jumaat.."

Memandangkan En Ali rilek je..x gelak pun..aku pun maintain je muka serius mcm xde ape2....duduk balik kat meja...hehe..tgu azan je la nmpk gayanye aku ni..

HUDUDULLAH...I beg to differ

Tengah kita sibuk mendengar pertelingkahan yang tak sudah2 antara kerajaan dan pembangkang..yang duduk di kerusi Parlimen mahupun yang duduk di mane2 kerusi yang boleh melepak dengan kawan2 sambil minum teh tarik...masing2 mempunyai pendapat sendiri mengenai perlaksanaan hukum hudud tiba2 out of the blue, pada 11 Okt, Sultan Brunei telah menitahkan untuk menggunakan undang2 Islam sebagai judiciary utama bagi negara tersebut, bersama-sama dengan akta yang sedia ada sekiranya tidak bercanggah dengan undang2 Islam. pehh..tercabar sungguh aku sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang serba liberal ni!

"..Hopefully, by doing this Allah (SWT) will spare us from his punishment/torment for not implementing the law." - his majesty Sultan Brunei baca..

Aku pun bukanlah tau pun psl bab hukum2 ni..kalo tanya aku ape hukuman utk org main judi pun aku x tau kalo mengikut hukum Islam. mgkn kerana aku seorang yang agak bendol, dpd zaman sekolah dulu aku percaya dengan keperluan untuk melaksanakannya. tambah2 lak mase zaman Form 1-2 dulu kecoh pasal isu2 murtad dan secara tidak langsung membangkitkan isu perlembagaan Malaysia yang bersifat sekular atas sebab kemarahan umat Islam ke atas ketidakupayaan undang2 negara untuk membendung isu murtad di negara kita. 

Zaman2 tu femes la kaset2 ceramah..antaranya peguam Zulkifli Nordin yang sekarangnya menjadi Ahli Parlimen Kulim, Bandar Baharu, yg dulunya agak radikal, menceritakan secara detail mengenai perlembagaan negara dan tuntutan untuk menghukum dengan hukum Allah didalilkan dengan ayat2 Al-Quran dari berbagai surah di dalamnya. 

Al Maaidah ayat 44:
Dan barangsiapa yang tidak menghukum menurut apa yang diturunkan Allah, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang kafir

Al Maaidah ayat 45:
Dan barangsiapa yang tidak menghukum menurut apa yang diturunkan Allah, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang zalim.

Al Maaidah ayat 47:
Dan barangsiapa yang tidak menghukum menurut apa yang diturunkan Allah, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang fasik

asbab nuzul ayat ini berkenaan Bani Israel di Madinah (bani Nadzir dan bani Quraidzah) yang datang meminta penghakiman dari RasuluLlah saw dan bila Nabi saw memberi hukuman dari Kitab ALlah, tapi mereka menolaknya. Walaupun ia ditujukan kepada Yahudi, namun pengajarannya juga terkena secara umum kepada umat Islam. (sumber soaljawab.wordpress.com)

Tak semestinya kita perlu faham sesuatu perkara itu sebelum kita menurutinya. spt peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj, sahabat2 Rasulullah mgkn x tergambar bagaimana Rasulullah dibedah hati/jantungnya hidup2 (ni kurun ke-7 Masihi ye tuan2), diterbangkan oleh makhluk Buraq ke Masjidil Aqsa dan tmpt2 lain dalam satu malam..tp diaorg percaya je walaupun ramai yang mengejek dan menentang. bagi aku itulah yang dinamakan faith. kita pula yg hidup ratusan seribu tahun lebih selepas Rasulullah boleh percaya pulak ye? kenape?..adakah kita terlalu malas utk memikirkannya lalu menganggap peristiwa tsbt hanya spt cerita yang kita baca dari sebuah novel? atau adakah hanya kerana ianya suatu popular belief yg sudah established?

Andai kata kita percaya kepada peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj, ape sangatlah kalo nak percaya bahawa hududullah adalah yang terbaik utk kita? 'Percaya' adalah perkara yang paling kita patut beratkan skrg ni. Api sekecik cabai menggelupor kita nak mengelak dari terkena..namun dalam masa yang sama kita menempah neraka Allah dengan maksiat yang kita lakukan. Ishh..bile la aku nak taubat ni..

baca

Alasan yang aku paling x boleh terima skali adalah perbezaan mase dulu dan skrg. yang berubah adalah manusia..Al-Quran ade kuar version baru ke? adakah kamu fikir Allah tidak memikirkan bagaimana keadaan kita di akhir zaman semasa menurunkan wahyu Al-Quran kepada Rasulullah? adakah kamu fikirkan jiwa kamu lebih murni dari Rasulullah sedangkan baginda tidak berhati perut sanggup menghukum kaumnya dengan hukum hudud yang konon2nya kejam itu? bagaimana pula dengan hukuman di akhirat nanti? nak kate kejam juga?

The monarch explained that Brunei has been implementing the Islamic Law since the 17th century, but with the intervention of foreign powers, Brunei had to or was rather forced to abandon it.

Mungkin ada yang mengatakan bahawa Brunei merupakan negara monarki, berbeza dengan negara kita yang mengamalkan demokrasi berparlimen (lihat perbezaan), Brunei hanya negara kecil, dsb. aku sendiri pun x pasti samada Malaysia mampu menegakkan undang2 Islam dengan keadaannye skrg..rasenye mmg x mampu pun..mungkin sesuatu perlu diubah? tak kiralah apa pun pandangan politik kita.. tapi jika ditanya mengenai perlaksanaan undang2 Islam di negara kita katakanlah InsyaAllah sekurang2nya.jgnlah dicela suatu perkara yang disampaikan di dalam Al-Quran. Ia bukanlah sesuatu yang diperkenal oleh mane2 parti politik negara kita. I fear for all of us because I simply care.

Ape pun, aku sanjung kepada pemikiran Sultan Brunei yang tak takut digelar kolot, kejam ataupun ape2 label lg yang dunia akan beri, demi melaksanakan tanggungjawab baginda yang amat besar sebagai pemerintah negara. Semoga berjaya dalam menuju ke jalan yang benar seterusnya menjadi teladan kpd umat2 lain.

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a. berkata: Bersabda Rasulullah Salawatu Alai Wasalam, "Islam mula tersebar dalam keadaan dagang (asing). Dan ia akan kembali asing pula. Maka beruntunglah orang orang yang asing".

Awek Gelek Gerudi

Arah manakah awek ballerina ni berpusing? arah jam atau lawan arah jam?

 

Kalau korang nmpk arah jam, kome banyak pakai otak kanan...vice versa. Penerangan cilok dr Herald Sun.

First time aku tgk mmg confirm ikut arah jam. mustahil sebaliknya. no way! tp bile lepas baca2 penerangan pasal otak kiri otak kanan tu..ooo...mmg betul ke aku ni otak kanan? biar betul. aku bkn otak kiri ke? maths aku dpt 1 pe..aku sukakan logik dan fakta..aku boleh membangkang perkara yg aku paling suke dalam dunia ni......aku x suka sastera..walaupun aku agak suke sejarah..ape aku perlu buat ni..hehe..lebih2 pulak drama.

Tak boleh jadi ni. aku mesti buat sesuatu. aku usha lg awek ni..oooooooooo..awek ni bogel rupanya...(tau cemane aku leh tau kan??tgk je gambor tu lelame..tau le...hehe). renung punye renung..kedip2 mate skit baru la awek tu pusing kot lawan jam pulak. kedip2 lg skali ikut arah jam balik..begitulah prosesnya untuk beberapa kali selepasnya sampai aku jd expert lak.

Secara amnya, ilusi optik silhoutte ni ditolak sebagai personality test, tp masih ade yg berpendapat ia menentukan kecenderungan penggunaan hemisfera otak yang berasingan untuk sesuatu aktiviti. mgkn ia bergantung kepada bagaimana seseorang itu mengincorporate penggunaan kedua-dua hemisfera otaknya. dan bak kate bini aku, pengaruh nature dan nurture kedua-duanya turut memainkan peranan..hehe..

Whitesnake in Kuala Lumpur!!

Boy oh boy...one of my favourite rock band is coming to Malaysia to visit me..yes me!!..not!! Well they are coming for a tour in Kuala Lumpur though. I'm not going to copy-paste any review from the internet about this band. I'd like to tell it in my own personal way..about what Whitesnake meant to me.

To tell you the truth, i can't say that I own every single album of Whitesnake. In fact, I don't own any! My big brother had one cassette..yes a cassette..we're not rich enough to own a CD player at that time which was outrageously expensive and not to mention about the price of one disc album which if I'm not mistaken about RM70 compared to a RM10 cassette. This was in the early 90's which apparently to be 20 years ago..and not just like a few years ago as I often imagined.

My wife always scold me for relating things with what they were in the 80's and 90's which she thinks irrational..well excuse me for living on the past. In the past, everything seems to matter more. Now everything is on the fast pace and seem to fly by so quickly hence making it much less appreciable. If you don't have a Friendster today then it's okay because MySpace and Facebook will come out before you know it. It's just like that.

Anyway..back to Whitesnake..they always have spot in my list of having really great songs which I would always play once in a while between a rotation of many many songs I've listened over the years. Not to mention the annoying syok sendiri singing around the house anytime I'm feeling like sliding it in (referring to Whitesnake song). And David Coverdale's singing is absolutely golden..making a lot of beautiful songs legendary. Songs like Here I Go Again, Is This Love and Looking For Love are some of the best rock ballads ever and the heavier ones like Children Of The Night,  Crying In The Rain and Slide It In are no less of a good song.

Coverdale had his magic not only while he was in Whitesnake but since he was in Deep Purple replacing the spot of Ian Gillan conveying songs like Burn, the bluesy Mistreated and the-ballad-everybody-know, Soldier Of Fortune.

Got the tickets already earlier this week from Victoria Music Store, Amcorp Mall PJ (grinning).

..and by the way this curly red spell-check line is bugging me to spell in American..wth..we're commonwealth!!

Apa nih??!!!

Aku x tau nak komen ape..

Email Security Tips

I'm no expert in internet security but there's a couple of tips that I can share :

Website registration / subscription

Do not register / subscribe to any website using your email address together with its own password.

Use any other password because there is never a need for any website to use your email address with its password. Those websites that require your email password is very likely to have inappropriate intentions towards your email. Possible risk is your email address could be used to spam all the addresses in your contact list and probably there are others as well. It's not worth the risk..so back off from subscribing to such websites. However, there are cases where you have to log in to other third party websites for example when sharing a website through Facebook where you have to log in first through a box with a secured (https) address; or logging in to a Google ID to comment on a web blog.

Use separate accounts

Do not use your office email or any email containing confidential data to goof around in the net like downloading and subscribing to potentially malicious or demeaning websites. Use a separate account in stead. Saves you the danger, reputation and conscience.

That's all I could think of right now. More tips when anything comes up in mind.





Translation by Google Translate (muahahaha..pande2 le kome) :

Saya tidak pakar dalam keselamatan internet tetapi terdapat beberapa tips yang saya boleh berkongsi:

Pendaftaran laman web / langganan
Jangan mendaftar / melanggan mana-mana laman web menggunakan alamat e-mel anda bersama-sama dengan kata laluan sendiri. Apa-apa penggunaan kata laluan yang lain kerana tidak pernah ada keperluan untuk laman web mana-mana menggunakan alamat e-mel anda dengan kata laluan. Laman-laman web yang memerlukan kata laluan e-mel anda sangat mungkin mempunyai niat yang tidak sesuai ke arah e-mel anda. Risiko yang mungkin adalah alamat e-mel anda dapat digunakan untuk spam semua alamat dalam senarai kenalan anda dan mungkin ada orang lain juga. Ia tidak berbaloi risiko .. supaya berundur daripada melanggan laman-laman web tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat kes-kes di mana anda perlu untuk log masuk ke laman web pihak ketiga yang lain contohnya apabila berkongsi laman web melalui Facebook di mana anda perlu log masuk pertama melalui kotak dengan alamat bercagar (https); atau log in ke ID Google comment pada blog web.

Gunakan akaun berasingan
Jangan gunakan e-mel pejabat anda atau mana-mana e-mel yang mengandungi data sulit untuk orang bodoh di dalam bersih seperti memuat turun dan melanggan kepada laman-laman web yang berpotensi berniat jahat atau merendahkan martabat. Guna akaun yang berasingan bagi pihak. Menjimatkan bahaya, reputasi dan perasaan hati.

Itu semua saya boleh berfikir sekarang. More tips apabila apa-apa jua yang datang dalam fikiran.
