The Black Donnellys

I am like any other man, I love good mob pic, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Sapranos, etc. My latest craze is The Black Donnelys. You cant catch it on Astro Star Movies every Sunday at 10pm or you could be impatient like me and watch the whole season at the link below

This serial is scripted very nicely, there is a saying 'We make our own choices' but what leads us to our choices?

Well about the show, let me summarize it for you, the series follows four young Catholic Irish-American brothers in Hell's Kitchen and their involvement with organized crime. Although the show is set in the present day, it draws heavily upon Irish-American history and iconic themes. The pilot episode illustrates a clear tension and rivalry between the Irish and the Italians. The episodes are narrated by a childhood friend, Joey "Ice Cream", whom the show depicts as an unreliable narrator.

The Black Donnellys was created by Paul Haggis and Robert Moresco. Cast members include Jonathan Tucker, Olivia Wilde (HOTTIE, god love her eyes), Billy Lush, Tom Guiry and Kirk Acevedo with relative newcomers Michael Stahl-David and Keith Nobbs. The only thing that I'm sad is that the show got cancelled after one season. What a waste.

Future of our Kids

I may never get married and have kids. I thought that was a bad thing but lately after seeing the loss of 2 high profile kids cases. Me not having kids seem not a bad idea. Times are bad now (boy dont i sound like an old man). Its no longer the days we grew up in. How many of you when u were a kid, your mum sent you to the shop or market to get something? You might have hated it or loved it but thats not going to happen to your kids.

I got a mail recently, a parent lost their kid in a hypermart and after a lock down they found her naked, druged and shaved. I guess the only solution fo this is you dont bring they out or we have them on a leash. I remember my brother being in one. It was a parental snap to the arm. We used to be able to say, 'Oh that area bad lah" that remark has no merit now, these crimes happens anywhere.

Do you think Malaysia should set up its own S.V.U now with these cases on rise?

You guys will need real player to watch the clip. Listen to the question and how our minister gives answer with no substance.

Quak Quak Lost Phone

I recently lost all of my contacts and personal data in my hand phone. It was my fault, I was itching to upgrade my software myself and I did it wrongly. The outcome was I had to go to Nokia to get the phone re-formatted. I lost all of my contacts, Bdays reminders and personal information. I apologize in advance for my stupidity for losing your number and forgetting to call u on your occasion. I’ll have to gather your info when I meet you yeah….

With the ‘losing’ of my phone I realised how dependent I was to this mobile phone. It was my gateway to my brain. My brain obviously doesn’t remember Bdays and numbers any more. Back when I was in High School, I could remember telephone numbers and do math problems in my head. After that I had the hand phones to remind me of numbers and birthdays and all my details. My brain didn’t need to work that much anymore just gets some good ideas for work and to soak in all the cartoons, movies and dramas it could. It was much better then studying.

I was paralysed when I left my phone for 3 days at Nokia. No one could contact me. I felt insecure, like something was missing. I am technologically driven, I check everything online and I love the concept of greeting everything at my finger tips. My phone could Call, SMS (whose cant duh), browse the Internet, was a radio to my favourite station as well had my once of play list. Those 3 days without my phone I was paralysed, I couldn’t do all that and I felt less equipped.

How would you survive without your phone for 3 days?

Miss Malaysia The Traitor or ...?

I’m not to sure if you recently caught the Uniquely Singapore advert. The lady above is the new spokesperson for their tourism campaign. Emeline Ng Vei Shu, winner of Miss Malaysia 2005 was born in Singapore and brought up in Malaysia and Australia. You would think she would have an annoying foreign accent but in the advert she hardly could speak fluently.

Anyways what is Miss Malaysia doing helping the Singaporeans? I find this an insult to the nation. It’s like the French aiding the Germans…. unthinkable. I also surprised why no one has made a fuss about this. Am I over reacting? I shared this information with my colleagues and the 1st thing that came out of their mouth is TRAITOR. But hey, lets put ourselves in her shoes, be very honest now, if you were a somebody and Singapore paid you a hefty amount would you take it?

We love, hate our country but would you do it?
