Buah Pala and Alor Setar ; Make way for Ice Age...and Buck

This posting is not about socio-politics. It will be about something else...movies. Frankly, I chose Ice Age 3 over Transformers 2. For those who are facing Monday blues, or tensions (especially BN supporters in Malaysia's MU), de-stress yourselves by watching Ice Age 3...it's just not for kids alone but for grown-ups too...

1. Michael J Fox prefers to go back to the future. After 3 outings to the future, Michael calls it quits after dignosed with Parkison disease.
2. Another Michael, who popularise the moon walk, died on 25th June 2009. He left behind his signatory Moon walk, and host of unforgettable hits including "Billy Jean, "Thriller", "Beat it", "Black or White" and three child.
3. On the domestic front, most of the first year varsity students have registered in their respective campuses. There was a case of botched delivery resulting in death of former UTM student.
4. Kg Buah Pala residents are one unhappy lot. Instead of addressing the issue in hand, the residents go for the stae reps and Lim Guan Eng. Others may look at the issue differently but this scribe feels that it is a non-issue, highlighted for wrong reasons just to potray that Penang PR's government are not people orientated.
5. Azizan gets the heat from DAP when MBAS demolished a 25 year old illegal abattoir in Alor Setar.
6. Main strean TV news are quick to join the bandwagon indicating a serious split in PR. They have additional co-stars in the faces of Zahid Hamidi, Rais Yatim, Tsu Koon, Samy Vellu who gladly give their "no-value" comments as if they are the spokesmen of PR.
7. So, why worry about the socio-political events of the week? This posting is not about socio-politics. It will be about something else...
8. The much awaited "Transformer 2 - Revenge of the Fallen" grossed USD 162 m for the first weekend collection. Me? Transformers is just not my taste. Too techie and on close-up shots, this scribe finds difficulty in differentiating the autobots from the decepticons. Better solution? Yeah, go for the easy going, fun-loving, feel good movie of Ice Age 3 - dawn of the dinasour.
9. The first scene just captivated me when the nut-chasing rodent found an equally determined female squirrel competitor with the song "You'll never find another love like mine" in the background. By the time "Alone again, naturally" scene comes on, this scribe is already in code blue as in lovey dovey blue.
   
10. If Shrek has pus, the maverick sworsfighter for hire, Ice Age 3 offer Buck, the one eyed lunatic. His attics is catchy, reminding me of Hans Solo, smuggler and "reckless mercenary" of the Starwars fame.
11. Maybe, as precursor to the coming Manek Urai by-election, all the politicans should be roped in and herded to watch Ice Age 3. At least, hopefully, they can go in canvassing for votes the fun "Ice Age 3" way.
12. Forget about Transformers 2. It's too robotic for the politicians.
13. Malaysian politicians need to loosen things up for the by-election. No need to be too stressful for the by-election. After all, BN knows that they are going to lose as surely as PR knows they are going to win the by-election. So, why need to go in with guns blazing?
14. Some political analyst will be looking for the tell tale signs of which saluran votes who. Let them do their job and analysis. As for the rest of us, nasi kerabu, budu, nasi dagang will be there waiting together with Jala mas, Mas jemput, akak winking from the sidelines.
15. And for those "adventurous" poll workers, Rantau Panjang is waving complete with tom yam, ikan 3 rasa, dukong and "extra"tid-bits thrown in for a memorable stay.
    
16. Transformers, Ice Age 3, Manek Urai or Rantau Panjang...it's yours for the picking in this coming weeks...just let me saviour the character Buck, just a while longer before moving on to...you know where.
    

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
