Movie Reviewance: The Happening
Just yesterday, Rol, Bui, Bel, and I and two of our close friends: Pol & QD, went to watch The Happening scheduled to air in the afternoon. The movie premiered the day before yesterday which was Friday the 13th. What made us watch this movie(QD excluded) was because the director was the same person who directed the satisfactory movie The Sixth Sense. From this we had expectations to know that it's going to be a very eerie and creepy movie. The trailers compelled us to look forward to it ever more.
Alright, the suggested plan was to watch it at night, but since Rol is driving ALL of us but Pol to the Star Cineplex, Rol ruled us out with the afternoon session as the final verdict. For what the reason??
Rol is a person who likes to think things would eventually turn out skeptical. Just imagine if a bunch of people suddenly starts jumping from the top floor of the now-under-construction building just beside Bintang Plaza; or a person jumps in front of a moving vehicle(in this case, Rol's) for no particular reason(scenarios related to scenes from the movie). EEEEEEEeee! THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN :D
QD felt that she was somewhat tricked into going. I gave her warnings about the movie not suitable for her "weak" character. However, another "side" of me told her that CYP was going with us for her assurance. That was a big fat lie of course :x
Unfortunately, we missed about 10 minutes of the beginning of the movie due to the last moment pickup at QD's house(people in the movie started dying already during then! >_<)
Okay, I've been beating around the bush with this. Time for the movie review x)
The movie revolves around a science teacher Elliot Moore; his estranged wife, Alma Moore; Elliot's best friend and colleague Julian, a math teacher; and Julian's eight-year-old daughter Jess.
The plot contains a couple, a best friend and his daughter that struggles to find a way to escape the pandemic self-slaughter that vastly spreads from large cities and eventually to the smaller areas. However, this only occurs around the northeastern area of America. The first speculated thought was that this biowarfare virus is carried out by none other than terrorists(typical thought). On the other hand, a plant expert in the movie who's just damn crazy about hotdogs, believe that it was done by plants that emit chemicals into the air as a form of evolution to cope with the current environment.
Some of the aspects and concepts used in the movie are the unbelievably LOUD sound effects(with screams from QD as an added effect then VOILA! surround-sound to the max!!) There's a lot of suspense in the movie that just makes you hold your breath, sometimes unnecessarily(half of it is because the virus is spread AIRBORNE. With surround-sound in effect thanks to QD, the experience is nearly real enough to hold your breath whenever the movie portrays a large gale blowing by, most likely carrying the virus)
Also, this movie has nothing to do with the supernatural spirits as it is very much relate to reality and QUITE POSSIBLE of happening. I won't list out how each death scene is carried out because it'll spoil the movie furthermore for those who have not watched it. Overall, it's a movie with a theme of survival that consists a quick-witted scientist(possibly), includes family problems and obstacles that tests the love of the couple, a guy who's a plant expertise and totally loves hotdogs, as well as a superficial maths teacher that believes you can earn 10 million in a month with just pennies. It's a good movie, that makes one not be able to eat so soon after watching it as there's a lot of gore and macabre so be warned!. Once again thanks to QD for her presence to make the movie-viewing a very much life-like experience. x)

Jokes for sometime II
Bark like a Dogma
A poor minister was having trouble managing his church. The income was pitiful, the plumbing rattled, the roof leaked, the air conditioning didn't work, and the church didn't have the funds for any repairs.
The minister got a brilliant idea. He bought a book about hypnosis, and read it from cover to cover. At the next service, he took out a watch and chain, swung it back and forth, and lulled the congregation into a hypnotic trance. He said, "I want everybody to walk down the aisle and put $20 in the plate."
They did, and he had the church's roof fixed that week. This worked so well that the next Sunday he decided to do it again. Taking his watch out, he proclaimed, "I want everybody to come down the aisle and drop $100 in the offering plate."
They did, and he got the air conditioning fixed and the parking lot redone.
His third Sunday, he got to thinking, "I haven't been paid in a long time. I deserve a little money."
He started swinging his watch again, and he thought, "I deserve a lot more than a little bit of money. I deserve enough to go overseas and have a cottage on the beach. I deserve a lot more."
He got so excited about what he was fixing to receive, that his hands started to sweat and as the watch slipped from his grip, he yelled:
"Shit!"
It took him two weeks to air out the church.

Golf and Funerals
Two guys are golfing on a course that is right next to a cemetery. After they tee off, one of the golfers notices that there is a funeral procession passing by. So he takes off his hat, and places it over his heart. When the funeral is over, the other golfer looks at the guy and asks, ''Why did you do that?''
The man replies, ''Well we were maried for almost 40 years. It's the least I could do.''

No-So-Dumb Blonde
One day a blonde is sitting on a plane next to one of those annoying, pushy businessmen. He asks her if she would like to play a game. She politely declines, but the man explains the game to her anyway.
He says, "It goes like this: I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong you will give me $5, and vice-versa."
She says no again, and tries to fall asleep.
The man tries harder, saying, "Aw, come on. I'll give you $50 for each question. Or how about $500?"
At that number, the blonde agrees.
The businessman explains again, "If you get my question wrong you give me $5. And when you ask the question, and I get it wrong, I will pay you $500.
"Got it," she replies.
He asks, "Who was the sixth president?" She admits she doesn't know and gives him $5.
Now it's her turn, and she says, "What has purple legs, five arms and only two yellow teeth?"
The businessman doesn't know - he uses his laptop, checks the Internet, e-mails his friends. No one knows the answer. So he gives her $500.00.
Then, as they're landing he asks her, "What was that thing anyway?"
She thinks a few minutes, hands him $5 and walks off the plane.

Language Barriers
An Asian man walked into the currency exchange in New York with 2000 Japanese yen and walked out with $72.
The following week, he walked in with 2000 yen, and was handed $66. He asked the teller why he got less money than the previous week.
The teller said, "Fluctuations."
The Asian man stormed out, and just before slamming the door, turned around and shouted, "Fluc you Amelicans, too!"

A man goes to the nursing home to visit his 84 year-old father. While there he notices the nurse is giving his father hot chocolate and Viagra.
The man asks, "Why are you doing that? I mean, at his age what will it do for him?"
The nurse explains, "The hot chocolate will help him sleep."
The man says, "And the Viagra?"
"Keeps him from falling out of bed."

Computer Diagnosis
One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt. His friend suggested that he go to a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
''Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10." Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks."
Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:
"Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."

Our Four Sons
Four guys went golfing; one went in the clubhouse to pay while the others waited at the first tee. One of the guys says, “I'm so proud of my son. He is a stock broker and he's made enought that he just gave away a huge portfolio.” The next guy said, “I'm so proud of my son. He's a car dealer and he's doing so well, he just gave away a Ferrari.” The third guy says, “I'm so proud of my son. He's got enough money that he just gave away a million-dollar home.” Just as the third guy fininshes talking, the fourth guy joins them and asks, “What are you guys talking about?'“Just about how good our sons are doing,” the three men replied. “Well, my son is doing very well,” says the fourth man, “He's a male stripper and just last week he got a huge portfolio, a Ferrari and a million-dollar home.”

Walk Towards The Falls
Well here we were! After a half-hour-drive in the afternoon (could be longer, I was sleeping**), we reached the Lambir rainforest park renowned for its marvelous waterfalls. Our group consisted of 12 peeps: me, Bel, Bui, Rol, FFH & his sis plus 6 friends from Sibu.
No, this is not the waterfall target we're going for at that time. Surely now, we had to stop and stare and this little waterfall seemed to first catch our attention. But NO, we MUST go in DEEPER to reach our target waterfall! So on we ventured, through dense undergrowth with the beating of the pouring drizzle. Walk, walk, jump, walk...until...
WO! WE JUST HAD TO STOP FOR THIS!! Okay, it looks lame... just a normal tree right? Just wth is so special about this?
That's my hand up there. And that's the same tree. Yes, I have brown skin. But look at the colour contrast! I'm saying that this particular tree had an extremely strong hue of brown that makes it stand out among the other trees in the area!
This particular signboard never failed to catch our attention upon every bridging process..And so the journey continues...
UNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!
Ain't it beautiful?(You don't have to answer that) We finally made it to the target destination!
Here's a better shot at what we saw. Awed** That's a log by the way, viewed from close perspective. It's NO rock.
Into the water! Pants up boys!! ^____^
Rol stepped on something... Believe me, you don't wanna know...
Brrrrrr~! Water's freezing coldddd. Notice our feet had already lost their colour after a minute in the icy waters
That black speck is Mr.Mosquito. It's eating the life out of FFH. Amazingly, FFH let it stay there for around 30 seconds, allowing us to take 3 photoshoots of it (one blurred, the other too far away). Ow, silly FFH =)
Eventually, silly FFH got mad and WHAM!!!Death to Mr.Mosquito!! RAaWRrrRr! ';...;'
Here's a question to ponder; I wonder which of them drew first blood... xP
After many enjoyable moments, it's time to head back to the tarmac roads. Once again, crossing the hanging bridge that brought about many fears in us. It wobbled - alot. The phrase "10 person maximum" never ceased to register in our minds at that very moment.
At last, it's time we go home after a tiring outdoor activity at Lambir Park. As you can see for yourself, Roland collapsed from fatigue on his steering wheel. Yes, Roland you did, don't bother arguing with me even though you don't recall it x)Fortunately, FFH gave Rol some energy-packed buns and Bui's snoring kept Rol awake throughout, which ensured our safe ride home!
Cheers! :D

Glad to be drunk
A completely inebriated man was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, "I've got to take you in, pal. You're obviously drunk.
"Our wasted friend asked, "Officer, are ya absolutely sure I'm drunk?"
"Yeah, buddy, I'm sure," said the copper. "Let's go."
Breathing a sigh of relief, the wino said, "Thank goodness, I thought I was crippled."

There once was pirate captain who, whenever it looked like a battle would be imminent would change into a red shirt. After observing this behavior for a few months, one of the crew members asked him what it meant.
"It's in case I get shot. I don't want you crew members to see blood and freak out."
"That's very sensible, sir." At that moment, the crew member spotted eight hostile ships on the horizon. The captain all of a sudden looked very concerned.
"Get my brown pants."

| The golf course was haunted by a malicious, evil leprechaun who exploited the ambitions of the poorer players. He popped up beside one unfortunate man who was participating in a club competition. "Look," he said, "if you agree never to court a woman, flirt with a girl or marry, I'll help you win." "Done," shouted the young golfer. The leprechaun was very pleased with conniving ways, and chuckled merrily. When the golfer was in the clubhouse being praised by the other members, the leprechaun popped up on the shelf of the locker. "Hey," said the little elf, "I have to have your name for my records. What is it?" "Father Murphy," grinned the golfer as he adjusted his Roman collar. * * * | ||

| A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?" Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?" "OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff... grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?" The guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the girl replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?" | ||

Barclays Premier League 07/08 Review
Dramas, controversies, shining stars and all...
Heck I'm so gonna enjoy this review after the seasoned performance from Manchester United. (I know Roland wont :O)
It all started with expectations, optimism and pressures to perform. The first few weeks started off rather awkwardly, with Wigan Athletic leading the league and Man Utd languishing 2nd from btm. It wasn't nice alright. That happened when we're all still in school havin Form 5. I remembered Roland and Jayme talked bout relegation troubles for Man Utd...yeah right...
Reality then started to set in. Man Utd reeled in 7 straight wins to move into the top four. Wigan? Gone jor...not even in the top half of the table. But there was this Man City team outperforming under Sven goran erricson....taking that 3rd spot for a long time. Man Utd lost in the manchester derby then, I got 'nice' comments from Roland and Jayme again. With Liverpool leading Arsenal in the league then, I tot i was gona strangle Jayme 1st b4 i go find Roland during recess that day...but Howard was a boy needed to be entertained so...(bonjour Howard!)
I can feel Howard's wraith here from Brisbane but waddaheck...
As the season continued...Man Utd found themselves vying for top spot with Arsenal. Liverpool? Aiyah...number 4 la hor Roland and Jayme? It's okay... :D Chelsea was then holding on 3rd spot, with Piggy nerdy face manager Avram Grant taking over from Jose Mourinho, they looked destined not to challenge for the title, or so i thought...
Chealsea, with 1-0 wins nonstop, BORING LAH!!!(go back Israel la Avram...)
Going into the Christmas break, Arsenal was still holding to the top spot. It was until a dude from Birmingham City decided to perform karate woodchopper kick before being relegated. Victim? Mr Eduardo-san(he's a Croat btw) That seemed to be the turning point of the season as Man Utd overtook Arsenal. I tot Man Utd was gona run away with the title then, without realising the Blue wave of Chelsea catching up gradually.
Last day of the season, Man Utd and Chelsea tied on 86 pts. With superior goal difference, it was all Red Devil's title to lose. Rather surprisingly, Jayme was behind me for this.(Due to the fact that he felt Chelsea knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League rather controversially). I wasn't sure how Roland wanted the title to go but with Man Utd having the chance to deal some PAINNN to Chelsea, why not Rol?XD
Of course la...Man Utd won the title, if not I wont be posting this :P. I'm happy, Jayme's happy, Roland's...happy. All was well!
Lately, Man Utd secured their double by beating Chelsea in the Champions League final. B4 the game, Jayme said he would support Man Utd. But then he said smth about Christiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick of own goals... so i was ...kinda puzzled.
Anyway, it was a season of NICENESS!! I certainly enjoyed the football and the chitchats with Jay and Rol on EPL throughout the season. Post-season now, it's time for EURO 2008 as posted by Rol. But Rol...where's England man?XD
P.S: Steve Mclaren was the most successful english manager to lead England to 2nd place in the EURO 2008 qualifyings in their group, thus failing to qualify for Austria and Switzerland. NVM! I think David Beckham rather go LA wif his wife...red carpet's better than green pitch yea? :D
Well...that's that folks! Till next time..... ZzzZZzzzzz

News and Thoughts for the game
well we look at the group 1st so far as can be seen group D would most probably be the toughest group this season. Greece defending champs, Russia (Zenit St. Petters won the UEFA cup), Spain (what people say as the most under archiving football country) and Sweden (hope that Zlatan is in form for them for this)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be the decider for Sweden same goes for David Villa for Spain i guess. For Netherlands, hopefully their offense can overcome somewhat holes in their defense. Portugal, lets see what "smart phill" have installed for us. Swits are at their home ground, they shud get a boost (remember what happened in Korea-Japan?). Turks qualified and have good players. Austria backing on home support (again remember what happened at Korea-Japan?). Croatia should do well looking what happened at the qualifying stages. Germany (i think are the ones to beat) good in form with a deadly striker, Miroslav Klose. Poland you qualified for the big stage, show what you've got! Italy, world champs nothing to say about them. France, former world champ and world cup finalist, don't know what to say yet. Romania have several good players inside. Greece defending champs. Russia they made it here, they should what they got also.
Players to lookout for..
Henry (Fra) - his dribbling skills and technique are impressive and eye catching. certainly a truimph card for France
Klose (Ger) - He is in form and a deadly striker up front, on of those hardworking strikers who score goals
C.Ronaldo (Por) - 42 goals with Manchester, can he produce a same feat again in Euro? this winger has incredible speed and great dribbling skills.
Cassano (Ita) - well they said he was out of form, but now lets look at him again
Ibrahimovic (Swe) - very impressive player, for his size his agility with his feet is increadibally fast, he certainly need to be watched out for,
Villa and Torres (Spa) - Both did well domestically with Torres good start with the Kops and Villa in good form.
Rakitic (Cro) - this youngster is included in their team look for him to do some waves if he has the chance.
Ribery (Fra) - this dribbling mastreo with Bayern was one of the top players of Bundesliga, he should be on the lookout also
Gomez(Ger) - this goal machine will make some nice goals.
Del Pierro (Ita) - hes old but hes good watch out for him xD
Sneijder (Net) - this real midfielder is having a goo season, his spot kicks are to be wary of
thats all so far mon ami..........

News and Thoughts for the game
well we look at the group 1st so far as can be seen group D would most probably be the toughest group this season. Greece defending champs, Russia (Zenit St. Petters won the UEFA cup), Spain (what people say as the most under archiving football country) and Sweden (hope that Zlatan is in form for them for this)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be the decider for Sweden same goes for David Villa for Spain i guess. For Netherlands, hopefully their offense can overcome somewhat holes in their defense. Portugal, lets see what "smart phill" have installed for us. Swits are at their home ground, they shud get a boost (remember what happened in Korea-Japan?). Turks qualified and have good players.

Grand Openin'
And so we got together and started this blog after a randomly short amount of time. First comes the members Chris and Hach who discussed about what blogs do. With particular reasons to secure the maintenance of the blog-to-be-created, they invited 2 more peeps which include iOxygen and Rolando. This amounted to the desired limit of 4 and hoped it should work out ok, eh? But hey we need all the help we can get and perhaps more juicy stories. So we invited Bufospecies to our league and to our luck, he enrolled without any resistance. Thus this lead to an additional +1 to our group resulting in 5 altogether, for now.
Then we prioritize 2 things first:-A suitable name for the blogsite and a quote to intro. Dramatically, we came up with all sorts of names with anything that our minds can crack up to. We suggested and knocked out many and some which knocked us out into laughter until we came to a climax- something to do with typical and catchy. Potato and tomato give a good ring to the ear which lead to a suggestion of potatotomato. Food! What a nice relation to a blog site.
In fact, the whole discussion is pretty awkward and particularly never really serious, although we were pressed to at times. This is part of the discussion which lead to the birth of our site:
Rolando says: pot o tama toto
Chris says: botakpotamato
Hach says: botakpotato
iOxygen says: tomatosmash
Hach says: sounds malaysian
Hach says: not bad XD
Chris says: XD
iOxygen says: potatoslam
Chris says: POTATOSLAM LOL?XD
Rolando says: got such thing ka?
Hach says: XDL O L
Rolando says: POTATOSLAM
iOxygen says: xD
And after a good battle of deciding our address, it came down to something like this: potatoslam.blogspot.com. And soon enough, the quotes just came falling down from the sky. Easy does it! This is blog where anything other than just potatoes and slamming happens. It's all from us to you and yours to we. :P wiu!
