Ooh, check out Snow Patrol's new song 'Signal Fire', which is part of Spiderman 3's soundtrack. wicked. video is very cute as well. i've yet to see spiderman 3, is it any good? i'm much more looking forward to shrek 3 and pirates of the caribbean.
i've had a few bad incidents happen lately, but good music is an awesome way to just drown everything out. and, pardon the pessimism, but now i know i have a valid reason and example for not telling other people about things i think are problems. it just doesn't make a difference, yeah?
Listen to Snow Patrol's 'open your eyes' as well.
I watched the video that lim kit siang posted up, that showed the incident where the Kinabatangan and Jasin MPs gave those stupid bocor remarks. i have come to two conclusions:
1. our parliament debates are like having chickens and ducks squabbling in a reban. i remember someone telling me there's a reson why we never air parliament sessions on tv, except for clips shown during the news. now i can see why.
2. The kinabatangan MP thought he was just oh-so-witty when he hollered the remark. and watching him, you're left thinking: these are the people who are representing the rakyat? bloody hell.
I wish i was doing this:
here's something random. you know how we(not, everybody, but a lot) eat with our hand? but when we go to a fancy restaurant, or a hotel, we usually eat with fork/spoon/knife. if you go somewhere really classy, there's no way we'd use our hand to eat. use untensils, and God help you if your chicken flies off your plate as you try to hold it with your fork and use your spoon to tear pieces of it off.even at school dulu, remember how whenever we had like makan beradab ke ape, for a really important occasion, the wardens would remind us to bring our own fork and spoon? why ah like that? it's as if using your hands to eat is a common thing, a manner not to be displayed at fancy dinners. i think it should be the other way round. we should upgrade the general perception and make eating with our hands part of high-class dining etiquette. All restaurants, no matter how expensive, should provide those teko things yang selalu nampak kat kenduri tu to provide diners with water to wash their hands with. kalau fancy restaurants yang snobbish tu, use teko made out of silver or platinum or whatnot. i mean, eating with our hand is part of our culture. there's no need to think it's inferior to western perceptions of proper dining, right?
i would like to try krispy kreme doughnuts. sedap sangat ke?

yup,eating with hands is the way to go!!
I heard that actually our hands contribute to the pencernaan of food when they come in contact with food.Like they have enzymes and stuff.bizzare?hehe,i think it makes perfect sense.
we have krispy kremes in australia,its halal and its fabulous!!!ok now you make me drool for them donuts.
Maybe because most fancy restaurants serve western food which requires the use of utensils since it has always been tailored to be that way.
I think if there's a high class indian restaurant, ppl might eat with eat. On the other hand, I don't think I want to see people eat with their hands cause they DONT KNOW how to. Just think of a girl taking a handful of rice and shoving it into her mouth in a piggy manner =/ that's weird lah.. hahaha..maybe those with 'eat with hand' certs can eat with hands =D
Geezz..I miss our eating-with-hand-nasi-kandar sessions =D u know, I realise rite..if we allow ourselves to soak in the other races' culture, we will feel some kind of closeness and understanding. yala yala..im talking about the nasi kandar as well.. hahaha ..it's as though we don't regard it as weird or disgusting. KUDOS malaysians!
oops.typo "i think if there's a high class indian restaurant, ppl might eat with hand"
aijud:oooh, a biological reason why eating with our hands is better. rock on! eating chicken with tangan is so much more enjoyable. kalau makan with utensils i feel like 'so.much.chicken.left.MUST.USE.HANDS!'.
must.have.krispy kremes. GIMME!. heh.
shao min: ah, excellent point there ms beh, should have thought of that.
but not to forget, it's just as painful to see as well as hear someone not adept with using utensils using a fork and spoon to eat chicken. all the scraping and chinking on the plate can drive u crazy :p 'eat' with hand certs? now THAT'S an idea! :D "it's my pleasure to award you with the certificate of eating-with-hand excellence..." Bwahaha!
nasi kandar sessions!me likee! with poppadoms on the side. and yeah, the stuff about soaking in other cultures rsulting in better understanding is true. hey, we should go and follow chris go makan some korean food. soak up korean culture,hee.
ok this comment is rushed, no time to make a GP-esque comment :p
MAKAN PAKAI TANGAN FTW!! :D

hmm wait. i dunno nak comment ape dah. oh well. makan pakai tangan tu, like u said la. agreed.huhu serious x de mende nk ckp. btw, krispy kream like aijud said, here is halal. but maniss sgt la. akoo leh makan separuh je. huhu.
anna: ouch, anna. if you don't have anything to comment, then don't force urself on my behalf,heh. macam comment sbb kesian plak :p jap, both u n aijud are very sure it's halal. is krispy kreme halal-certified there or something? i mean, ade tande halal at the shops ke ape?
either way, should really try some someday.
xdela tanda halal but we here have ta ask the pekedai la whether they use certain things like gelatin and stuff. and i guess because seniors said is halal. hmm, its the trustable source of info.
