An incident in 2006

I though of writing about something that from memory that happen in 2006. Back then I had just joined CHC and there was this outing planned by w16 to lala cheong. Wow it’s been a while and yet I still remember it so clearly. We went in a few cars and I sat in Mervyn car. I think we were talking about getting a life partner and there was concern about not getting one for Kay Jin I think. Steph then suggested to pray for him in tongues.It's not funny right now but the irony of the situation made it funny back then. Yeah good memories. Miss the good old days.

Really

Last Night I manage to catch a program on the History Channel. In case some of you don't know what is the history channel all about, it a channel on ASTRO dedicated to what else History haha. Well it a great channel and I am surprised that the good folks at ASTRO took such a long time to bring in such good and great channel to Malaysia.



Anyway for those who know me will know that I like history sorry correct that I love history. It is possible one of things that I excel in best and I adore all things historical.



So when I was randomly surfing the channels after a long day of study and bump into the program entitled" Modern wonders of the 1980's" I knew I had to watch it. Boy was I pleased. It was a program about the wonders of the 80's and how people live and the technology that was available at that time. A trip down memory lane with all the technology available such as the Rubics cube, the Atari and apple computer, the De lorean and many others.


I can't believe this. I grew up with a faint memory of all these gadgets. I can't believe that theses things are still readily available in the market and you can still purchase it.Wicked!



Also manage to catch another program "Hippies". This program covers an era far older then me and like everyone else I know. Watching the era and the period that my pop and ma lived in I realised then that anything crazy in this ear will be no comparison to the madness and the insanity that the era produced. I mean Charles Manson, Beatles, Acid and weird clothing is more then I can bear. Well do to anyone who was born in the 50's and 60's. You guys are solely responsible for all the moral decay of the 20th century. HAHA.



Yeah I glad I glad I was born in the 80's and grew up in the 90's. This was possible the best time to grow up with expection to being born in the 90's and growing up in the new millennium.


I can imagine what the HISTORY CHANNEL will say about GEN Y in the future..

Wow

If there is one thing I am good at, that would be remembering irrelevant things that no one usually remembers. That means recalling things that has happen for the moment and may be deemed insignificant the next time.



Sometimes people ask me how I do that.Well to be honest it just appears in my mind.Usually it is random stuff that appears and I usually don't attempt to recall it in the first place.Maybe it has got to do with something I saw or heard that triggered the memory in the first place.Anyway, to demonstrate what I mean, last night I was just chilling when this came to mind. Now notice how random the song is.In fact I don't think that anyone I know actively remembers in. It would probably come to mind when you hear and see it .This is what I mean.








Brings back memories... :-)

Do you remember this?

If this annoys you then good. At least we are on the same page. But somehow if you think about it, the person who created this is rather clever isn't it, taking something so pointless and random and turning it into something that people would actually watch. Think about all the ringtones and music videos if you like.That what I call amazing...

Robots in the SKy..

So the ultimate showdown between good and bad robots kicks off today on the Big Screen.I wanna watch it but due to commitments to the greater evil, I am afraid this would not be possible at the moment.But no worries ,I can wait..

Anyways, it is an epic story that should not be missed. Heck even if the movie turns out to be less that satisfactory, it is the fact that almost every kid in the 1980's has heard about transformers would deem it spectacular already.So who will prevail.. the

Autobots-Good Or Decepticons-Bad

Empire of the Sun..

• Now you must be thinking have I heard about this movie let alone watched it.Yeah I thought the same thing too.When I was little,I had a faint memory of seeing this print in some catalogue.But I manage to catch the film on good old HBO.It's great that they are show movies that premiered when we were too young to comprehend what movies were all about.

• Anyway,one of the things that I like about watching old movies is that you are able to catch actor and actresses in their early roles, before they became famous.In this case,we have John Malkovich and Miranda Richardson.But it is the child actors in this case a very young Ben Stiller and the main star of the film,Christian Bale which is known for his role in The Mechanist and most recently, Batman Begins that we should focus on.Back then he was just 13 and I would say among his peers and presently the most successful .Take for instances Haley Joel Osmond and Macaulay Culkin who had rather successful careers in their childhood days but are yet to make an impact in their adulthood film wise.

• The film itself did pretty well and was nominated for 6 Oscars and won 3 British Academy awards.Of course, no prizes for guessing who directed this movie,yup Steven Spielberg.It is like the man was born to direct movies.

• So to anyone reading this,I guess it is a good time to catch up on old movies that we missed out due to age.It can be pretty enjoyable.
