Justice For Teoh Beng Hock.

I was shocked and in disbelief when i heard of the tragic death of a young and idealistic man who tried to make a difference for all of us fellow Malaysians. He tried to break through the lines that have devided us for over 50 years but ultimately was taken away and sacrificed in the fight for better governance and equality for all.

Conflicting details of his untimely demise has been splashed across the media and there still some disturbing and lingering questions to be answered by the MACC. The investigations of corruption on the PR Selangor State Excos and Assemblymen in itself, is already dubious before this tragedy. I am not going to touch on the stupid press statements and unscrupulous reporting by the powers that be. We as matured Malaysians, know better and refused to be spoon fed with lies and deceit anymore. Enough is enough.

We have already lost a man with a bright future to a corrupt system. I sincerely hope PR will buck-up, and not let Teoh Beng Hock's sacrifices and struggles be wasted. Stop the petty differences. Work together irregardless of different ideology and political views, as at the end of the day, all of us Malaysians want the same things - better governance, equality, no corruption and justice.

To those who try to seed hatred with this tragedy, let be know that God and the people are watching you closely. We the RAKYAT are not stupid and easy to brain-wash anymore. Those who sow the seeds of hatred will have retributions coming your way. It's not about politics and race anymore. Let it be known that either way, the truth shall prevail and justice be served.

Teoh Beng Huat, your fight will go on and we Malaysians will seek to undone the injustices done to you. Rest be assured, your name, your sacrifice and what you stand for will not be forgotten. The fight will go on and you will not go down in vain.

Lastly, my deepest condolences to the Teoh family and his beloved fiance. Rest In Peace my fellow Malaysian.

TF 2 - Revenge of the Fallen: My take / review

After giving it much thought, and coming from a pretty hardcore TF fan, I'd have to give the movie a thumbs down. More hype than anything else i'd say. Probably the only thing that got me through the whole movie was the cool transforming process of Optimus Prime and one hot looking Megan Fox!

As a gear-head myself, nothing is more sexy than to see a hot chick with a mechanic's overall, holding a wrench in one hand and with engine oil smeared all over the body! Dang, Megan Fox is da bomb! As a G1 fan, i absolutely despise the "organic" looking newer Autobots and all of the Decepticons. Bloody hideous if you ask me.

Story wise, there not much to talk about honestly. If not for some of the more funny scenes involving Sam's parents and more specifically his mum, i'd most probably be bored to death. Well, looking at the way the movie ended, there will definitely be a third TF movie.

Lastly, i'll leave the movie as a pure action flick in typical Michael Bay fashion - great shots and great special effects. No more, no less.

Transformers Hype and Madness!

Been a week since Transformers 2 - Revenge of The Fallen has been playing in the local cinemas, I've yet to be able to get the tickets to the show times that i want. Darn TGV Aeon Bukit Tinggi cinema is just a stone's throw away from my office and i'm still having trouble getting the tickets. My colleague told me he had to buy the tickets, 3 days in advance and yet he still got the early show that starts at 7:45pm and not exactly the best seats as well.

Well, i've been a big fan of the cartoon series since the 80's and the Generation 1 (G1) times. I'm always glued to the tv every Saturday morning trying to catch the 30 minutes series when i was younger. Who can forget that red and blue truck - Optimus Prime? I can't remember how many times i begged my dad to get me the toy for my birthday during my younger days - to no vail.

All, the while i thought i've been through that stage and out grown the cartoon. Oh boy! How wrong i was in assuming that. When the movie first came out in 2007, my jaw dropped right down to the floor. Nevermind the cheesy storyline, the mare fact of seeing Optimus transform in the movie alone was enough to blow my mind away. The yearning for all things Transformer see me spending money to build up my collection of the toys. Damn it! I turned into an old little kid overnight. Imagine a dude my age hunting for them toys on ebay and in the local toy shops. You won't believe how many similar guys do the same thing as me - diehard and harcore fans.

This time around, i'm not gonna get so crazy on the toys part (i've got most of them anyways, especially the different versions of Optimus), but am still hunting high and low for the ticket for the sequel. Till then, it looks like i'll just have to watch more of the first movie on my Blu-Ray.
