Are you ready?

Darn it! Is that Psy? I think this is the worst I've seen him dressed. I mean.. check out that auntie's blouse he's wearing. Seriously?

This was one of the pics of Psy flying around from the controversial Penang show. I think Psy is pretty amazing, but like many people - I'm turned off by his visit here for the Barisan Nasional open house - not because of political reasons, but because of the sheer obscenity of paying him that much for one damn song.

Malaysian artistes are so badly treated in comparison. What Psy got for ONE song, any local act would kill for even 1% of that for a half hour show.

Still business is business, and I guess Psy just wanted to cash in irregardless of who was the host of the show as long as he hears the ringing of the ka-ching!

Since I am part Penangite (Pulau Tikus yo!) I was proud earlier this afternoon when this video went viral! Watch it! Worth a laugh!


Oh yes... that did just happen!

Ye aku bangga jadi anak Pulau Mutiara!!! (well, the part of me that is, is).

Sumpah lawak...

Tapi as usual, cybertroopers start la aktiviti bashing.

Alasan paling kerap dengar, "oh... kurang ajar, so rude... tak reti balas budi... tak reti bersyukur".

Hey twats. Those people in government office - answer to the people. Since when do the people have to kowtow to the likes of the government? Dah jilat sampai melecet hingga lupa ke hak rakyat?

Nak bersyukur? We're thankful to God alright... sejak bila rezeki semua datang dari wakil rakyat? Cybertroopers memang ye lah...

As for being rude dan kurang ajar, dah orang tanya soalan, people answered! Don't ask a question if you're not ready to hear the answers. It's as easy as that. Problems understanding? Stupid...

Lom ada lagi kata.. ala that section of audience saja... erm... show me a video of people actually saying YES to the second question and then we'll debate that. Otherwise, your whole existence has immediate been rendered invalid for the sheer stupidity of your random comments.

I don't know about you guys... but I know I had a good laugh.

I hope the message goes out loud and clear. People were asking for local artistes... not a reason to splurge and waste money when we keep getting told that we have to be more thrift as times are tough.

So... are you ready?

Hack The Planet

Pertama sekali nak sambung cerita Psy ni.

Semalam keluar lah berita kisahnya Psy ni dibawak oleh syarikat swasta, bukan kerajaan. Jadi kira tak bazir lah duit kiranya.

Soalan aku seperti berikut :
1. Kenapa pada awalnya ada saja yang rajin wakil mengatakan patut tak kecoh soal ini kerana membawa Psy ni ibarat hadiah dari kerajaan pada rakyat? Kalau ditaja, takkan nak anggap dari kerajaan. Betul tak?
2. Bila di kata, pelik pula rasanya - siapa yang sanggup 'taja' sampai berjuta?
3. Rupanya syarikat bernama Mega Ultimate yang bawak masuk. Meka ni promoter, walaopon haram aku penah dengar nama meka. Sebutlah Galaxie, Livescape/Rockaway, Pineapple, Clockwork dan sebagainya, sebagai orang dalam dunia hiburan aku tau lah. Rupanya meka ni buat konsert K-Pop banyak. Tapi publisiti tahap manja. Camna meka mampu ek? Sedangkan syarikat lebih gah tak mampu?
4. Diskodeng, rupanya banyak event meka ni ditaja bersama dengan Magnum 4D. Yang lain, belajarlah persoalkan sendiri.

Sebenarnya aku sedih bila perkara ni aku ketengahkan.

Aku berkali kata - JANGAN POLITIKKAN ISU NI!

Ada yang nak dengar?

Nasib baik pembangkang kira gentleman la gak ngan kerajaan ni kata, takpe, gi lah event tu. Acara rakyat.

Tapi tak bermaksud aku setuju. Sama bangang tuk aku statement tu.

Aku tambah panas, masih ada yang tak paham beza Korea dan China kot.

Kaum Cina dan Korea berbeza. Malah Korea lebih dekat asal usual mereka dengan orang Jepun. Tiada persamaan atau perkongsian budaya Cina dan Korea. Balik pada isu - jadi kira kita mata sepet je sama ke?

Sampai ada blog cybertroopers ni yang kutuk libatkan politik dengan pembangkan dan keluarkan statement "Cina dengan Cina pun dengki ke?". Soalan aku satu je - ko ni bangsa apa yang bodoh sangat? Ko kulit tan ni kira ko Latino ke? Maori ke?

Some people can be so shallow.

Sebentar tadi, wujud lah kecoh sikit. Kisahnya - website SEGi University College kena hack. Dan bukan tu sahaja, Malaysia Productivity Corporation punya website pun kena godam! Ini dua pesanan yang sama pada dua lama yang lain.

 

Masih ada yang tak faham ke ramai rakyat kurang senang situasi pembaziran ni. Apa rasional menjemput orang luar yang takde kena mengena, sambil berhabis berjuta ni.

Ridiculous.

I guess the reactions on social media are now the real reflection of the feeling of the silent majority now. If not, they will be sooner or later as people wise up. After all, semua dapat rebat beli smartphone ni semakin ramai lah online...

Lu Pikirlah Sendiri

Jadi... duit siapa? Memang Psy datang untuk Future Music Festival Asia di Mac bawah penganjur persendirian. But who is paying for the performance at the open house? Dapat diskaun apa sangat sampai mampu ni?

Malas betul... memang benar. Anak seni tempatan juga macam PENGEMIS saja jadinya. Siapa nak call confirm silakan.

Psy-cho

I respect Psy. He works hard. People think he was an overnight success because of Gangnam Style, tapi hakikatnya dia kerja kuat. Dah enam album baru rezeki dia sampai nak dikenali seluruh dunia. His arrival however was in style. Kerana tu aku hormat anak seni macam dia berjaya dengan usaha sendiri.

Tapi hari ni sumpah aku sedih dengan perangai orang kita.

Kisahnya, Psy will be performing for the Barisan Nasional open house come Chinese New Year.

Sebelum aku cakap apa-apa, ni disclaimer. This has NOTHING to do with politics! And forgive my rant in both English and Bahasa Malaysia. I think and speak like this in real life.

Aku terkilan dan terpanggil untuk komen hal ni because firstly, this is a CHINESE New Year celebration. Why is a Korean for Chinese New Year? Do the organizers think we look the same? Kira bangsa Cina dan Korea ni meka ingat sama ke? This is merely an assumption - but if that is so - that is just FUCKING racist! Siapa punya idea bangang ni lah...

It's Chinese New Year. Not Seollal (Korean New Year).

If they called him because of his popularity, he was already on the way to our shores anyway for a show. Plus, not to mention - what else do you know apart from Gangnam Style to justify tens of thousands (guess in which currency) which he will be paid? Plus, Gangnam Style is SO 2012.

Takde ke artis Malaysia berbangsa Cina nak dipanggil? Kalau nak sangat panggil orang luar, panggil lah yang betul-betul darah Cina. Ni perayaan bangsa Cina kot. Psy has NOTHING to do with the celebration of our customs and traditions. Yes, I am Malaysian Chinese.

It is sad to see this happening.

Ingat murah ke harga Psy. Bulan tiga ni he'll be performing at the Future Music Festival Asia and I know Psy's price range. Bukan murah. Siapa yang nak bayar? Duit dari mana? Dia di bayar ikut USD. Bukan RM. Dahlah baru keluar berita kata nilai matawang negara akan jatuh berbanding dollar Amerika...

Biasa kalau show kerajaan, nak bayar artis tempatan, susah sangat nak keluar bajet. Always the same thing, that we don't have the budget to pay. Tapi tang orang luar saja, laju je dihulur apa diminta hanya kerana nak sangat orang luar mai.

Habis tu? Anak seni Malaysia nak letak mana? Sudah tak ada artis Malaysia ke yang nak panggil? Lagi relevan panggil anak seni berbangsa Melayu dari anak Korea untuk sambutan rumah terbuka Tahun Baru Cina. Bukan ke Shila Amzah sendiri semakin naik namanya di China? She is being paid a lot to perform in China, while we bring in a Korean to perform for our Chinese New Year celebrations. Anyone can make sense of that?

Artis Malaysia berbangsa Cina pun ramai yang dah menempah nama di luar. Kenapa tak gunakan duit untuk memanggil mereka pulang untuk sambutan ini?

Baru kecoh orang menari Gangnam Style ketika Thaipusan kerana tidak menghormati adab dan agama. Ini nak buat rumah terbuka panggil Psy. Siapa punya kerja ini. Aku mintak sangatlah pihak penganjur Barisan Nasional yang prihatin dan peka terhadap kebodohan yang ditunjukkan dalam tindakan memanggil Psy untuk jadi tamu khas rumah terbuka Barisan Nasional.

Listen... listen... listen! Kera di hutan disusukan, anak di rumah mati kelaparan!

All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to, If You Seek Amy

Oh wow!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai and Kong Hee Fatt Choy or whatever you guys would wish it. It's the first day of the new year according to the Chinese calendar already.



And boy, kalau ikutkan astrological readings, it's not a good year for many. But screw that. Korang Google sendiri ke baca buku feng shui sendiri la kalao nak accurate readings on your sign. Aku akhir tahun Naga... bukan sebarangan naga... fire dragon agik tuh.

Oh by the way... you guys noticed the new logo for my blog? Saja nak tukar. Korang rasa ok tak banding the old one? I wanted something sleeker and less cluttered. Colour obviously because of the festive mood. Will go back to standard black pasni... saja ma nak merah merata. Ong katanya...

Anyway.. backtracking... this year, is supposedly an average year at best for me. Is that going to stop me? Uh uh... no way! The dragon will arise and whip that ox's rear end.

But have to say, things look a little bleak right now. Mana tak... hari pertama tahun baru da ada gerhana. Yeap folks there will be an eclipse today!

Can imagine the number of people going to blog about it, but do take the necessary precaution kalao feeling nak snappy pics or you might just go blind. This is the time when having a ND and CPL filter is good.

Anyway, the partial annular eclipse (the word anal keeps flashing through my mind for some reason) will happen between 4.30pm and 7pm in Malaysia.

This of course is not a good thing la kalao tuk mereka yang superstitious.After relying on Google, found out that during an eclipse, "the power of negative energy increases 1,000 times as compared to other times. When the environment becomes conducive for negative energy to amass, the chances of it affecting people increases.

Since ancient times, the sun has been viewed as an auspicious star and a life force. It is also known as the remover of all obstacles and the giver of health.

It rules the digestive system, heart and blood circulation and influences an individual’s strength, energy, self confidence, leadership and many other qualities.

The impact of the negative energies when the sun is obscured causes a lack of courage, fatigue and low self-esteem.

People are advised not to carry out activities as usual during the eclipse period as they may behave irrationally. Do not view the eclipse directly, and it is better not to travel during the period and stay indoors."

Amik ko.. makes it sound so... apocalyptic kan? Well not really... but it seems quite bad for us.

A warning of sorts in a report in The Star says pregnant women and senior citizens should be extra careful and should not consume food or drinks during the eclipse period. And newborns should not be exposed to the rays.

Everyday activities that should be avoided during the time of the eclipse are sleeping, conjugal relations, swimming, holding meetings and weddings and all religious or special events.

But I found this part most interesting...

"To ward off the negative rays of the sun, people can use kusha or dharba grass (holy grass used in Hindu rituals). To mitigate the ill effects of the eclipse, the grass should be used as a cushion or placed on the bed and pillow, used in food and beverages, put in vehicles and by the main doorway of the house. (Dharba’s scientific name is Desmostachya bipinnata; in Australia, its common name is halfa grass and in the US, it is known as big cordgrass or salt reed-grass).

After the eclipse, people should wash and clean their houses to remove all “harmful energies” that would have set in and offer prayers.

Although the Jan 26 lunar eclipse is only partial and not like the total eclipse that occurred on Aug 1 2008, people should be careful. The next total eclipse will take place on July 22 and will be visible in India, Nepal, China, Hawaii, and the Pacific Ocean.

This solar eclipse will be the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the 21st century and will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds."

Erm... ok... so you don't really give a toss kan about all that. You just want to know how it's going to affect you... or more appropriately what it's going to be like later this evening. Here some projections I came across on the net.

CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW IT'S GOING TO LOOK AROUND THE WORLD

So to summarise it... remember the Heroes intro? Since the 'do is going to be only partial, it'll probably look like that. But doubt anyone's going to get powers of any sort.
Oh by the way... I know it's not very appropriate to tag this along for this entry seeing the mood of the new year and all... but can't get this tune out of my head.

It's Britney's new single, If You Seek Amy. Sounds pretty innocent kan the title? Say it fast, and see what it sounds like. Keep repeating it, and you'll get it eventually (kalao ko blur sampai kiamat tak dapat la)

Anyway, US skang kecoh bab lagu ni sebab they say it's not suitable for kids. Ok if you really are that blur - If You Seek Amy, said pretty quickly, sounds like F-U-C-K me. Heh...

The lyrics sound pretty innocent on its own but that one line je which makes up the title is pretty.. erm.. well depending on your tolerance level lah.

Here's the song. Play it and sing along and tell me this isn't infectious. Britney actually sounds more crap than ever, but this is a damn good dancefloor tune, no matter what. I'm addicted to it at the moment. Nuts...

And here are the lyrics. Enjoy the song. Aku dalam berapa jam nak hidang teh kat kedua orang tua aku (customary for us to do that) and then nak berkumpul ngan sedara mara kat rumah my eldest uncle. Nanti aku blog ek... me going to be one of the weirdos trying to shoot the eclipse.
