10 years since then. One of the most interesting series ever followed when I was in high school. Now, it is schedule to release the sequel of the next X-Files, I Want to Believe this year. Expected general release from the cinemaonline is on 31 July 2008.

Who can just ignore the duo, David Duchovny whom took the role of Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully. Most of all, many of my female friends took up Scully as the Christian name. Hehe… but that was back then.

Should be expecting more snippets soon from the producer
Anyway, the trailer was released 2 days ago in IGN.com yet can be watch from the youtube as well.

The trailer is viable after the jump.

Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.

James Dean

Like my friend says, he rather go diving as the fishes won’t scold him. :D
Hence, he went to live out in an island as a diving instructor. Out from the world today to say the least.

Amuse yourself on Monday

Under the Sun No Comments

Blog as usual.
just lack of time to do the decent post so here’s some link for you to amuse yourself.

Starting with remembering all the things you can, by taking up this skillset, which you can do without this website providing all the information on your car running after the empty tank light on. Too bad I couldn’t find Honda City on it…

What couldn’t be resist is the knowledge about beers. If you can tell the every single part the price for a pint of beer. Nonetheless, you can waste your time through the shortcut by learning the 75 skills instead of reading the Mr. Jones Rules for every modern man.

Quote of the day

To Ponder About No Comments

If you’ve had a relationship with someone and you try to become friends afterwards, it’s very difficult. Because you know each other so well it’s like two magician trying to entertain each other. The one goes, ‘Look, a rabbit.’ The other goes, ‘So?… I believe this is your card.’ ‘Look, why don’t we just saw each other in half and call it a night?’

- Jerry Seinfeld

It is the matter of interests

Rantings Ramblings No Comments

Note the growing issue about the alternative route to Bandar Mahkota Cheras and Sungai Long? It seems that it is between Narajaya Sdn Bhd and the residents against the toll operator, Grand Saga whether to reopen the shorter and free road leading to the both housing area.

What caused the fury? It is always the matter of the conflict of interests. Grand Saga wanted to making extra by the additional toll that the residents couldn’t bypass. Grand Saga do have employees and workers. They needless to say they have a fixed operation cost. However, the residents whom staying in the both town wanted to keep some extra from paying the additional booth. Maybe for rainy days?

It seems that the matters was about the interest of the single company or the mass? Let just see the outcome from this event.

Nation-building People

Rantings Ramblings No Comments

Thomas L. Friedman wrote a nice article last week that inspired me. It got me thinking… of my nation; my country. Are we going to have a nation-building society? a hopeful nation-building people?

In his column, he stated:-

Traveling the country these past five months while writing a book, I’ve had my own opportunity to take the pulse, far from the campaign crowds. My own totally unscientific polling has left me feeling that if there is one overwhelming hunger in our country today it’s this: People want to do nation-building. They really do. But they want to do nation-building in America.

Looking into Malaysia, this country of mine where she is undergo a transition of power. This changes… it shows through the recent general election that we, the people care about the nation. Everyone wants to do their role in nation-building.

Fearful Discipline Teacher

Setapak High 2 Comments

Cocka post on the Humsap Magazine inspired me for this post. It has been at the back of my mind to write and dedicate this post to the afternoon session discipline teacher back my time. His name is Cikgu Waikiki (Name has been altered to protect the non-innocence) and he is a very particular when the student spelled his name in the Sejarah project back then. One of my friend got deducted his points for failing to spell his name correctly.

Anyway, back to the story was when we were in the afternoon session where only cater for Form 1 and Form 2 students, Cikgu Waikiki was the discipline teacher that has been put in charge of the morale and discipline of the students. As I moved to the morning session, Cikgu Waikiki was no longer in the picture as Mr. Tong came in charge along with Murthy.

Technology advancement is something we cannot predict. By the year 1998, VCD sellers was at its peak. Everywhere can be found and the cost is cheap. RM5 per title. What worse was there’s one stretch of the road along Desa Setapak which was the heaven of VCD. Numerous VCD stalls were setup and VCDs were openly displayed. Those stalls was in fact owned by 2 organization which can be differentiate by the color of the cloth - red or yellow. What makes it even better was that the porn was vastly available. Ease of access. Various categories ranging from Cat III to Cat VI. Japanese, Western, Hong Kong and much more.

On a one fine day. an ex-Setapakian was browsing the VCDs at one of the stall at the Desa Setapak for some good videos. As he browse the titles, he noticed one fine gentleman was also browsing the same titles - porn. He turned over and saw that the fine gentleman was actually Cikgu Waikiki. Being an ex-Setapakian with good education from Setapak High, he turned over and greeted him. “Cikgu, cari VCD ke?”

Cikgu Waikiki turn over to look at the guy. One…Two…He then turned back to look at the title again. Suddenly, Cikgu Waikiki speak. He asked the VCD dealer on the some blockbuster titles and mumbles himself as he walked away. The ex-Setapakian knew Cikgu also got needs and it is okay and he doesn’t need to be pretentious.
