Back From Mecca

Almost two weeks has passed since Eidul Adha and still I've not left Mecca yet...since I've never been there...hehehe. It' been a long time since i wrote anything and when i feel like writing again, all those ideas that came before simply vanishes..wtf!

Whitesnake in Kuala Lumpur!! (review)

Whitesnake rulesss!!!Definitely worth going..walaupun pegi sorang2 je, I enjoyed every bit of it. Walaupun mamat David Coverdale ni tau cakap "Apa khabar?" dan "Terima kasih" je..itu pun dok ulang dkt 10 kali..yg penting suara dia mmg power. Masih boleh tarik high pitch..takde ngelat2 nyer..padahal umur dah 60 dah kot..rilek jer.

Aku sampai kat Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil ngam2 kul 8.30mlm..boleh tahan gak susah nak cari parking. Tapi org nampak mcm x ramai sgt..maybe ramai belum sampai kot. Semua dok berkumpul depan entrance. Dari luar takde dgr bunyi ape2..lambat lagi la kot nak start. Sampai2 jer ramai kutu dok promote t-shirt concert (bkn ori)..byk lak tu designnye..mcm x best gak..tp dari takde langsung..sambak jugak la satu buat kenangan.

Seperti dijangkakan crowdnya kebanyakannye mmg dah seasoned2 orgnye. Ramai yg aku slambe boleh pgl pakcik jer (konon2 aku mude sgt la..). Surprisingly, ramai juga kaum sanak famili yg datang sekeluarga nak tgk concert ni..mostly Chinese and Indian...makes me wonder betul ke concert Whitesnake ni..ke Lee Chong Wei ada main kat stadium malam tu..??

Dalam lebih kurang 9.15 macam tu..Coverdale and the gang pun naik stage..lambat skit..mgkn diaorg blow rambut diaorg dulu bagi nampak lebih rock..and truly mmg rock abisss!!! Performance-wise mmg diaorg superb..dari teknik kangkangan para guitarists dan ulitan drumstick oleh drummer serta permainan mike stand berbaur lucah oleh Coverdale menggamatkan lagi suasana. Which reminds everybody that Whitesnake is hard rocking band and this is a rock concert!!Yowwwwhhhhhhh!!! 

Kelakar jugak aku tgk deme yg dtg ngan family tu terkebil-kebil tgk Whitesnake terkinja-kinja atas pentas tu. Kali ni aku ambik port tepi stage lak..sesedap kepala nak meneleng..asalkan x sejauh tier yg mengadap straight ke pentas. Walaupun x sehappening free standing punyer geng..jadilah asalkan tiket murah.hehe..

Aku x ingat sgt susunan lagu yg diaorg main..tp aku hentam je la..bkn kome tau pun. Antara lagu yg diaorg main banyak juga yang klasik seperti Fool For Your Lovin, Love Ain't No Stranger diselangi dengan lagu dari album baru diaorg Forevermore. Tak ketinggalan balad2 klasik diaorg seperti Is This Love, Here I Go Again dan balad terbaru diaorg Forevermore yg terase semakin best bile dgr live. Lagu ni suara abg Dave mmg sebijik mcm dalam recording psl dia x payah nak compete dgn music yg kuat bile intro dgn gitar acoustic je. Terus rase mcm nak cari je guitar tab lagu ni balik nanti..

Dah ujung2 lak tibe2 abg Dave nyanyi lagu Soldier of Fortune tanpa music dengan suara klasik dia tu. Haha..mase tu semangat keungguan Deep Purple mula menyala di kalangan penonton.hehe..Sape tak tau lagu S.o.F tu..mak aku pun tau.semua pun pakat nyanyi la sekuat hati. Habis je lagu S.o.F stadium terus membakar dengan lagu Burn juga dari Deep Purple, semua crowd pun membuat gaya tangan Usop Wilcha sambil jerit "kite bakor je" dan aku pun gelak sakan psl aku menipu jer kome ni.keh3.dicelum-celamkan secara medley dengan lagu Strombringer..lagila crowd menggila..

Tup tup dah abis rupanye..x bagi signal pun deme ni.Walaupun ade crowd chanting "We want more" diaorg buat bidon je tapi takpe la. Memang puas hati dapat tgk Whitesnake..Live in Kuala Lumpur!!!

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.
