Duyung & The Spiderwick Chronicles
Rating : 6/10
Verdict : Ok la… GSC IOI murah pon..
We went to see The Spiderwick Chronicles at IOI Mall, Puchong. Without knowing the storyline and based on the title of the movie i assumed the movie will be something to do about spiders. It proved me wrong. It’s a fantasy based from a story book with the same title where this movie bring your imagination to the world of fantasy and creatures.
The story kicks of when this adventurous boy ( i would say , stubborn and tak dengar cakap) Jared opens a big book containing the secrets of the creatures written by his great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. Strange things than happen to Jared and his family soon after and you can expect to see some evil and good creatures as the story progress. More or less similar to Narnia. Eager to see the new installment of Narnia : Prince Caspian.
Rating : 4/10
Comments : Boleh la… lawak byk tak jadi plus byk promo free for DiGi
Movie yang boleh di tonton if you just want to laugh. Thinking is a no no during this movie as it will spoilt the movie. Question like how does a fisherman family can afford a full scuba gear / why is all the actors still wearing primitive clothes will arise if you start to think. Story is about Jimmy who likes Aspalela met with a mermaid that then changed his life. The undewater shots was nice , really like watching National Geographic/ documentary / kawasan2 sewaktu dengannya and the Duyung ( Maya Karin ) looks quite real and cun gak. The music score was ok and the Aspalela song by Saiful Apek was fun
.
A blessing for all Perakians.
A letter to the PM…
Dato Mukhriz Mahathir , Jerlun’s MP has sent a letter to PM Abdullah Badawi asking him to resign all of his current post for the good of the party and nation. How brave and gentleman of Dato Mukhriz to do such thing. His sincerity and his braveness will be a good thing for me to follow as a leader.
Rocky Bru has publish an article on Singapore’s mypaper on this matter where else bigdogdotcom.blogspot has a full coverage on this story and the copy of the letter.
On the other issues the MB of Perak sworn in ceremony was canceled and heard that there still no official apology to the Sultan and Regent of Perak yet from the DAP particularly Lim Kit Siang. Meanwhile Khalid Ibrahim has sworn in as the MB of Selangor.
Seems like the PRU12 this time around has had many dramas and twist. Cant wait to see what will happen next. Hopefully all will be well and Perak will have a Menter Besar soon.
On loosing…
“Graciousness in losing is a tremendous strength and something we must value in the nation as we move on ” - Datuk Dr Dennison Jayasooria ( Social Strategic Foundation executive director) on PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi after BN lost the 2/3 majority in PRU12
Politics 101..
I got this at MYKMU and found this really interesting. Maybe i’m new to politics but im very interested and i hope to be one some day. This piece i share to this blog as a reminder me and to all.
DAP offers apology…
My officemate alerted me of this news published in the DAP website.
Apology to the Perak Sultan and Regent - No offence intended.
No disrespect to Perak Sultan and Regent ever intended and apology for any offence caused as the statement was on party position at the time.
Dear Mr Lim Kit Siang ,if you happen to came across this blog i think you forget one more person to apologies to which is the PEOPLE. Please be aware that Perak people is known to have their outmost respect and love towards the Sultan and Regent. I am a Perakian myself and once you disrespect the Sultan and Regent this means you don’t respect the whole Perak people.Remember people power that brought you up can also bring you down.
DAP to boycott Perak MB swearing-in….
Wow wee this is outrageous , Lim Kit Siang has posted on his blog that there is no DAP mandate for the PAS MB in Perak where he stated that DAP will boycott Perak MB swearing-in ceremony prior to the decision made by the Raja Muda of Perak Raja Nazrin Shah where was decided that Ir. Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, 51 from PAS will sworn in as the Perak MB. Reported in the media that Kit Siang issued the statement at 7.15pm, ordering the party’s 18 assemblymen to stay away but barely two-and-a-half hours earlier Ngeh publicly expressed support for Nizar after an audience with the Raja Muda of Perak Raja Nazrin Shah at Istana Kinta in Ipoh.
Shows how DAP still plays with sentiment. Take it back Mr Lim Kit Siang !
What DEB is all about
Dasar Ekonomi Baru taken from http://bigdogdotcom.wordpress.com/
DEB diperkenalkan oleh Allahyarham Tun Razak Hussein semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri pada tahun 1971. Ianya program pembangunan ekonomi dan penyusunan masyarakat yang komprehensif, yang berteraskan pembasmian kemiskinan, mewujudkan program pembangunan ekonomi dan menitik beratkan pembangunan pendidikan dan usahawan kecil dan serdehana bagi keseluruhan rakyat Malaysia, terutama orang orang Melayu untuk keluar dari kemelut penghidupan desa dan luar bandar yang ditinggalkan pembangunan. Penguasaan 30% kaum Bumiputra dalam ekonomi disasarkan semasa DEB dilancarkan, sebagai usaha proaktif untuk mengelakan rasa tidak puas hati orang orang Melayu dan tercetus konflik berdarah antara kaum.
Melalui perlaksanaan DEB, pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat berjaya dijana dimana keturunan Bukan Bumiputra, terutama golongan peniaga mendapat kesan pertumbuhan dan program pembangunan yang diusahakan. Kawasan kawasan pertumbuhan baru dibangunkan seluruh negara dan program program pembangunan infrastruktur rata rata berjaya memberi kesan positif bagi golongan peniaga Bukan Melayu.
Apabila ‘kek ekonomi’ bertumbuh dan cambah, ramai golongan peniaga terutama sektor peruncitan dan pembekalan, rata rata masyarakat Cina mendapat peluang dan menafaat positif. DEB merupakan formula yang berjaya dan mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi yang konsisten dan berjajaran, sehingga Malaysia berjaya melakukan transformasi dari sebuah negara yang bergantung kepada perusahan utama kepada negara pembuatan dan kuasa ekonomi yang meningkat hebat dan penting diAsia
