of pins and needles

There are some people in Malaysia whom you just can't talk to. They're not interested in dialogue or exchanging views and opinions. All they're interested, and this is the basis of their pathetic excuse of an existence, is to breed hatred, intolerance and fanaticism. Being sub-humans, they've long lost the mental faculties to converse and debate about matters close to the heart. They've long been lacking in decency, humility and worst of all, simple human intelligence. What they are is a testament that not all Homo sapiens are evolved beings. These degenerates live and die by the sword. All they know, and swear by under the perceived notion of religious faith, is violence, violence and more violence. Rather than discuss issues and grouses calmly and rationally as how human beings are supposed to, they resort to sticks, and parangs and fists. While people are expanding their minds to explore new horizons, these vermin of society excel in issuing threats and blowing up innocents. Good on ya, mates.

On another note, caught Susuk on Saturday. Don't expect much in terms of acting and special effects (it is, after all, a locally produced flick). But the plot and storyline is most intriguing. Personally, I was impressed; it isn't some run of the mill horror fare showcasing distorted faces and omnipotent exorcists. A well thought-of story that had me thinking about it hours after the cinema closed for the day.

Also caught Mummy 3 on dvd; hugely disappointing. When one starts rooting for the mummy (in this case, Jet Li) to squash the life out all the protagonists, you know the acting leaves much to be desired. And the plot was one big predictable yawn. Nothing original or new, other than the generous use of sand, clay and mud.

Guess I'll be brushing off the cobwebs on my much-maligned variety of jerseys sometime this week; most of the European football leagues start next weekend. Think this time around, I'll be watching more matches, hopefully more Serie A and Bundesliga action is in store on Astro. And yes, EPL too (sigh).

Decided to apply for leave year-end, so the hunt for a holiday destination starts now. Alone or accompanied, I know not, I care not. Altogether, I'll have close to ten days being free, and thus the pressure to fully utilise the holiday has already started.

What's this I hear about Krabi?
