My road to riches

REASON’s TO BE HAPPY No 1
I received a RM XXX.XX angpow from my Boss today. Its feels real good, altho i can finish all that in a single GENTING CASINO session… muahahahahaha.

REASON’s TO BE HAPPY No 2
I received my salary for the month of JANUARY amounting to RM XXXX.XX. Was overjoyed (as usual).

F*CKED UP EVENT No 1
When i read the check after leaving the office, i saw disaster….. it says payable to:

LEE KIAN TEK

I read again, carefully, one single bloody alphabet at a time:

L E E K I A N T E K

That doesnt tally, my name has 11 alphabets! FUCK! I have been working there for like 4 bloody years and they are doing this to me on Chinese New Year? KNN Accounts department again!
THey cant get anything right (Like spelling the same name for 4 years). Sigh….

For those unbeknown, my name is spelled LEE KIAN TECK, yeah i know its a name destined for greatness, thanks.

HAHAHA Reason to be Happy
I have enough cash stashed away in a Swiss Bank account to feed me for quite some time, so i can wait till the accountants drag their fat lazy ass to work on the 6th of FEB 2006. MUahahahahaha.

I would like to wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR and GONG XI FA CAI. Wish me tons of luck the next time i go up to battle it out with Uncle Lim at Genting!

Here are some of my 2006 item wish list:

Pool Table
No more paying per game, no more by the hour chargers… all mine for all i want. RM 4,500.

Espresso Machine Semi Automatic
Espresso, machiato, latte and cappucino, DIY @ home…. sheer caffeine overdose. RM 3,999.

Montecristo No. 4 Box of 25s
All time favourite cigars… damn, i am running out of them =( . RM 750.

17" sport rims, big ass Sube STI spoiler for my car
Getting sick of the fugly Alfa rip off stock rims and the tiny spoiler. RM 2,500.

Thats all i can think off, the rest i have already got them =) nyah nyah.

I went to watch The Memoirs of a Geisha yesterday with Freako. The expectations level were quite high… eversince i saw Zhang Ziyi on the FHM cover. After watching it, i realised that the movie reminds me of one thing…

that thing is called constipation. Why?

Because when i suffer from a constipation (sembelit in bahasa), i would sit on my throne for an hour. I felt like taking a crap, but it just wont come out. So for the next 60 minutes would be spent attempting to get it out of me. That, my friend, is how i felt when i was watching this geisha movie.

Dont get me wrong, everything else about the movie was excellent. Gong Li did a magnificent work potraying the ever scheming and evil Hatsumomo ( And she looks really hot too ). Zhang Ziyi did very well as the innocent and naive Sayuri…  Everything was good, the cast, the clothes, the props, the settings, and the cinematography. Everything was good, well… almost. The critical aspect of the movie that failed was the story and excitements itself.
Notice the similarity between the movie and a constipation, how excited can things get? I can sit on the toilet bowl for hours and nothing comes out; i sat in the cinema for hours and nothing comes out.

To sum it up, watching the Memoirs of Geisha is like trying to shit but nothing comes out (for an hour).

Oh, check out this spoof geisha trailer. Try not to die laughing tho: CLICK ME

Overall the movie was a disappointment. No kidding.

******* out of ********** (thats 7 out of 10 for the visually impaired)

I have never had a liking for soapy lovey dovey movies. In a matter of fact, i have never watched one in a cineplex (well, if i discount Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, that is). I watched perhaps love a couple of weeks back at One Utama. It is rather weird that i have been dying to watch it since i saw the trailer on tv. nevertheless, watched it i did (i mean we did, there was fatass, lampost and hobbit).

Okay, i admit it, i am not gay but i am a takeshi kaneshiro fan Wuahaha. that shud explain my eagerness to watch it. plus i am into musicals too (altho i havent watch one since i was like… 5, the last one i watched was Sound of Music… together now "raindrops of roses and whiskers on kittens ..").

Enough blabbering and lets get on with my review:

Everyone did pretty well (acting wise). except for takeshi… sigh, if he does not possess that dashing good looks to shield his piss poor acting ability. did i mention he actually sang in the movie, and i believed majority of the people watching actually choked on their salivas. yeah, he sings like  silverback gorilla mating ritual. Zhou Xun (the big eyed, KLIA china chick) cant sing as well.  about the only person that sings well is… guess who, jacky cheung *yawn*.

The movie is quite colourful, unfortunately the audio lets everyone down. As for the story, one sentence… crappy triangle love crap. that is quite crappy but that is what love movies are for, so i am not complaining.

Overall i would consider this a change from the usual dose of cartoon, sex, and mindless actions i usually get and it is refreshing. worth a watch just to hear how bad takeshi sings. Its RM 6 well spent in my opinion.
