No Beyonce
Beyonce cancels Malaysia show
KUALA LUMPUR: R&B star Beyonce Knowles has scrapped plans to stage her first concert in Malaysia amid speculation she objected to a strict dress code barring sexy attire, industry officials said Monday.
Knowles will instead head for neighbouring Indonesia, which although also Muslim has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave.
Knowles' Los Angeles-based talent agency, International Creative Management, said her Nov 1 date with Kuala Lumpur had to be broken “due to a scheduling conflict,'' according to an ICM statement made available by Malaysian entertainment organisers Pineapple Concerts.
The announcement followed recent speculation that Knowles, famous for her sexy image and skimpy outfits, was reluctant to fulfil the Malaysian government's demand for female performers to cover up from the top of their chests to their knees, including their shoulders.
“It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of The Beyonce Experience World Tour in Kuala Lumpur,'' the ICM statement said.
“It was to mark the very first time the performer would bring her show to Malaysia.''
Knowles will perform in Jakarta instead on Nov 1, the statement said, adding that Knowles “is looking forward to performing for all her fans in Kuala Lumpur in the near future.''
Pineapple Concerts chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said his company, which has brought Western acts such as Kanye West and Earth, Wind and Fire to Malaysia, was “disappointed and frustrated.''
Razlan declined to comment on the rumours that Knowles balked at Malaysia's decency code. However, he noted that besides Indonesia, Knowles is now slated to travel over the next month to many other Asian countries, including Thailand, China and India. – AP

Educating the people? I don't think so.
Here, there and everywhere in Malaysia we hear people from the entertainment business asking (more like begging) us to support Malaysian movies and dramas. They often claim that they can't understand why we are willing to spend our hard-earned money to watch movies from other countries but not those produced by the Malaysians.
Seriously? Are they THAT dumb? or they think that WE are dumb? or are they just too oblivious to the fact that their films are just plain rubbish and an insult to our intelligence? Especially those produced by this person who calls himself an Assoc. Prof.
I admit, there are films that are worth watching..for example; Cinta, and Mohsin. But those are just too few to even make any impact on our film industry.
Recently, while channel surfing with my housemates, a Malay drama caught our eyes. Cinta Medik. Yes. Medik. Something that has got to do with our lives since this series is about medical students, housemen, et cetera. We expected it to be something that we all can relate to....but damn, we were so wrong. The drama is nothing but utter rubbish. They claimed that the drama is supposed to educate the people about medical stuff so that people can understand better about medicine (something like House or Grey's Anatomy) but it was just brainless. To point one of their many mistakes, there was this line said by the 'lecturer' to a 'medical student'..
"Dia seorang pakar bedah yang hebat menggunakan pisaunya" Firstly, we don't even talk like that..i still can't understand why ALL malay movies and drama still use full sentences..it is so not natural! who talks like that in real life? and secondly, it's not PISAU...we call it scalpel or SKAPEL in BM.
Another mistake was, if in real life, in Malaysia, us, medical student, can't be a lecturer straight after we graduate. We have to go through housemanship for a year or so, and another 3 years of practice in the government hospital (who doesn't know that? At least a 'Professor' ought to know...) . But in that stupid Cinta Medik, one of the students (one of the main casts) were offered a place in a college as an Assoc Prof. (?!?!)
If we ask anyone, just anyone and everyone, even kids, about where do we put the defibrillator on human body, they'll know. They ALL will say on the chest. But guess what? In that drama, the 'specialist' put the defibrillator on the patient's abdomen and upper thigh each. Yeah. That's where the heart is.
DON'T get me started on the lack of ethical practice and the unrealistic cases (c'mon, someone who needs kidney transplant won't be running around in shopping mall, play bowling and look healthy. At least they shouldve put some makeup to make the 'patient' look pale and sallow). If they really want to educate people, do it properly. Don't insult their intelligence. Do some research before you produce any series so that you'll get everything right. Those people in Hollywood, they do a lot of research before they actually do anything. The actors will be sent to study and observe the real stuff. That's why the end result is great. Don't tell me that our actors are too busy and they have no time to do all that. Bull.
But come to think of it, the producer who produced this series is the same person who produced Nana Tanjung, Mami Jarum, and all those slapstick type of films. Don't ask us why we won't watch your films and TV series. Ask yourself, Prof.
And to quote one of my medicine lecturer;
"You are rubbish. You have no grey matter."
Harsh. But someone has to say it.
p/s : I have nothing against those quality movies and Malaysia's entertainment industry. I just found it appalling that they think they can just produce something for the sake of producing and get profit to thicken their wallet.
Again,, please don't insult our intelligence and feed us with junks like that.

It's not just on TV series now. It's real.
It made me sick in the stomach.
It's inhumane.
I can't imagine someone is cruel and heartless enough to torture this poor, helpless 8 years old girl whom barely had her taste of life.
I can't imagine how the parents are feeling right now.
And I just can't wait to see who did this and get the punishment they deserve.
DNA tests: Body found in bag is Nurin
(update 2)
PETALING JAYA: The police have said that
DNA tests on the body found stuffed in a
sports bag on Monday in Petaling Jaya
show that it is that of missing girl
Nurin Jazlin Jazimin.
Petaling Jaya OCPD ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed
on Thursday said that DNA tests have so
far indicated that the body found in a
shophouse at Jalan PJS1, Petaling Jaya
Utama is that of Nurin, 8, who had been
missing since Aug 20.
At Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Nurin's father
Jazimin Abdul Jalil, 33, a taxi driver
still denied the body was that of his
daughter, reports BERNAMA.
"I am Nurin's father ... I know my
daughter better than anyone else. My
heart is saying the body is not my
daughter.
"If police ask me to take the body, I
will accept, I will perform the funeral
rites and bury it. But I want the police
to pursue the search for Nurin because I
know Nurin is still safe out there," he
said, speaking to reporters outside the
HKL mortuary.
Jazimin added that he was sure the body
was not Nurin because of the teeth and
the scar that Nurin had.
According to Jazimin, Nurin's teeth did
not have gaps between them and she also
had a scar on her thigh.
Nurin's mother Norazian Bistaman, 35,
said she was ready to accept what the
authorities tell her.
"What else can I say. The DNA test shows
she is my daughter. I will accept the
will of God.
"As a mother, I still hope the body is
not my daughter's. Which mother will
accept the reality that her daughter was
raped and killed brutally.
"Only God knows the extent of my sadness
and grief," she said in tears.
Norazian said this year's Hari Raya
Aidilfitri celebrations would be the
most joyous and meaningful in her life
in the event Nurin was found safe and
sound.
"In fact, we've already bought Nurin's
Hari Raya dress and I will patiently
wait for her return," she added.

Oh Mandy
Amanda Leigh Moore. That goody-two-shoes Mandy Moore. She used to annoy me so much. Every time I watched her video I always feel like punching her. I even hated her because I think she's putting up an act to make people think that she's innocent and naive and nice.
I have to eat my words now.
Sure,I love A Walk To Remember but that's only because of the story line and Shane West. But one movie after another (How to Deal, Chasing Liberty..etc), it kinda grew on me. I no longer hate her...I actually like her. Haha..
Lately, with all the hoohaas about Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, et all, people actually kinda forgotten about Mandy's existence; which, in my opinion, was the best thing that can ever happen to her. She took this chance to re-invent herself musically and produced a new album. This particular album is the one thing that made me chance my perspective towards her. Her songs are no longer silly and teeny boppy. She sounded more mature and she actually has a really great voice.
I think I like her now.
Who am I kidding? I love her. Haha *Tak tetap pendirian betul.*
Btw, have a look at these 3 videos. The first one is the cover of Umbrella by Rihanna, which I personally think that she has done a good job...I like both btw.
The second video is a blues version of her silly first single 'Candy'. Phwoarr...she took this sone to a whole new level. It's way above and beyond better than the original.
The last video is her new single, 'Gardenia', which I love.
She does sound a bit country-ish, and blues-ish kan?

Of course lah...=p

Top Friends?
First it was MySpace.
Now it's Friendster.
Next, it'll be Facebook's turn.
Oh wait, Facebook already has the same feature.
These websites are great because we can all keep in touch with our childhood friends, school friends, colleagues or whomever that has crossed our paths. However, there's one thing that kinda turn me off. The whole featured friends or top friends thingy.
I like all my friends. I love the ones closest to me. But the thing is, there are more than 6 or 8 friends who are close to me enough that 'deserve' to be in my top friends list...but I just don't have space for all of them thanks to the webmasters of those websites. I want to put Azlan, my house mates, the whole LOEW clan, and of course, my Cinta as my featured and top friends.
It's not a big of a deal really, but I just don't like the idea of ranking my friends and God forbid, offend any of my friends.
I will feature my friends when I have 30 empty spaces in any of those websites.

Parental advisory; explicit content
When I was younger, Baywatch is a no-no. Watching it is almost like committing a serious sin
and you'll be teased by your friends if they know that you watch the series. And as I grew up (big enough to understand the human anatomy), I tried to sit down and watch it, and to my surprise, Baywatch is nothing but a boring 60 minutes per episode series where u see lifeguards running around in swimming trunks and swimsuits. Bleah~ Now I don't understand what the fuss was all about. Pamela Anderson's plastic b**bs bouncing up and down and David Hasselhoff flashing his abs and running in trunks?
Tsk tsk...No thanks...
D
uring my secondary school years, Sex And The City became the big hit drama series. From the title itself, you know how the storyline will be. Me, being a couch potato, followed every single series aired on TV...except for that. I was tempted but I couldn't bring myself to watch it, especially if I watch it with my parents or sisters. I'll somehow feel shy and embarrassed to watch the show. However, now that I'm above 20 years old (uuu..that 'legal' age..haha), and the feeling has subsided, I tried to watch it and well, my first impression was that SATC is different. It is bold. It is explicit. And it got me hooked. Not because of the 'oh-close-your-eyes-please' scenes but because of everything else. The script (it is tastefully done and nothing cheesy), the characters, the clothes (they never wear the same outfit twice), and owwwhhh...the shoessss!! Manolo Blahnik....ahhhhh...
The bond between those four women were so strong that they can talk just about anything and everything. They have faced awful dates, break-ups, failed marriages, pregnancies and miscarriages, and even cancer together. They never talk bad about one another behind each others' back, and always always so supportive no matter what. It's the kind of friendship every woman dream to have. It is so strong that I wonder if friendships like that do exist among us women.
Hmmm...as for me, I don't think I have friendships exactly like that but I do like to think that my friendship with my girl friends are unique in its own special way. Each friendship I have is different to another. There's a bit of Charlotte, Samantha, Miranda, and Carrie in every single one of them and that's the beauty of it.
Btw, I just finished all 6 seasons of SATC and that's the reason why we are suddenly discussing about this..hehe =)
