The 300

I had this rather funny conversation with Michelle recently about The 300 movie which I found it really amusing. If you have watched the movie, you will get the conversation below:

Michelle says: i like 300. gooood. wasn't too concerned about the storyline. it's mythical, epic...
-- demonick™ -- says: ooo...what about the gore?
Michelle says: nah
-- demonick™ -- says: all the slicing and dicing?
Michelle says: its all CG
-- demonick™ -- says: were you freaked out? flying heads?
Michelle says: nope. very cool actually. i think there's a blood splatter template used by the CG artist
-- demonick™ -- says: hahah..good one..blood splatter template dont know that had such thing..
Michelle says: u dont think so...splat here, splat there
-- demonick™ -- says: yeah..but dont think all is the same
Michelle says: the fruity god king is sooo damn coool
-- demonick™ -- says: hahaha.. which part is fruity?
Michelle says: don't tell me u didn't think he was fruity
-- demonick™ -- says: why fruity?
Michelle says: a man who accessorises so much IS fruity
-- demonick™ -- says: but you know in real life he isnt that tall
Michelle says: with a moniker like that! Xerxes
-- demonick™ -- says: try spelling that backwards
Michelle says: sexrex
-- demonick™ -- says: yeah
Michelle says: and?
-- demonick™ -- says: nothing..its just funny
Michelle says: would it be weird to name ur pet dog Xerxes?
-- demonick™ -- says: yeah....i think sexrex is a better name for a dog haha
Michelle says: and those spartans! eye candy!
-- demonick™ -- says: yah...i know...all the girls must be drooling..300 hot men with sculpted bods
Michelle says: half naked greasy man...
-- demonick™ -- says: yeah...i bet you were in awe?
Michelle says: not just awe =P

Xerxes the fruity king??

I No Stupid, I Nerdy

I did this online nerd quiz to find out how nerdy I am. Found it on Sonia's site, and this is what it says:

My overall score is:
52% scored higher (more nerdy), 2% scored the same, and 46% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean?
Your nerdiness is: Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

Does it mean I'm only half a nerd? Take the test and see!

Chinese Wedding Dinners

You know sometimes, going to a chinese wedding dinner could really be a headache to some. I know of some people would actually go to the extend to spend money for a new dress or clothing and accessories, just for the occasion. Yes, I know everyone wants to look good, but come on, it's just a wedding dinner plus its NOT your wedding! You don't want to outshine the happy couple of the night now would you? Having said that, there is another headache during these times. 'The Saman'!! That's right. It is customary to give red packets as a form of good luck and well wishes to the new couple on the night of the dinner. So how much should we be giving then?? Well, for starters, it really depends on how well you know the couple. The closer you are to the couple, the more you need to give. Then it also depends on the venue. I came up with this genius idea of a rate card (I wonder why no one thought of it). So there should be no more headaches thinking of how much to give. Refer to the below table:

But like i said, it also depends on how well or how close you are to the couple. You are always welcome to give more, but I think the table can be used as a guideline. This is picture taken with some friends during a wedding dinner I attended on Saturday night.

Gary, Justin, Keith, Me and Wang Teck

The venue was Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. So from the rate card, how much you think should be the appropriate value?

Paula DeAnda

Move over Shakira! Paula DeAnda is pop's newest Latin darling. I liked this album from the moment I listened to it. It has some really catchy and "beaty" tunes. It might not appeal to some as it has that "teen-pop" lyrics thing. But nevertheless it is still an album worth listening to (in my view at least). I'm currently hooked to the song "Walk Away (Remember Me)". So hooked that I even have it as my ringtone!

Here are the track listings:

1. Doing Too Much (feat. Baby Bash)
2. Walk Away (Remember Me) (feat. The DEY)
3. Easy (feat. Lil' Wayne)
4. When It Was Me
5. Overloved
6. So Cold
7. Good Girl
8. Wanna Be With You (feat. V Nice)
9. Make 'Em Clap To this (feat Ak'Sent)
10. Breathe
11. Let's Go Out Tonight (feat. P.B.)
12. I'll Be Down For You
13. Footprints On My Heart

I think 13 tracks are way too little, because once you hear the first few tracks, you will be asking for more. All I got to say is you got to listen to it to find out.

My Rating: 4/5
Sounds Similiar To: Ciara, Stacie Orrico, Beyonce Knowles, Kelis

Note: This is my first album review on this blog. From time to time now, I will post up reviews on albums which I think are good and worth listening to.

Testi-moan-ill

tes·ti·mo·ni·al
Pronunciation [tes-tuh-moh-nee-uhl] –noun
1. a written declaration certifying to a person's character, conduct, or qualifications, or to the value, excellence, etc., of a thing; a letter or written statement of recommendation.

Ok, this post are about testimonials. More precisely, Friendster testimonials. I just don't get it. If a testimonial is as what it says above, why do people post greetings or fowarded animations as their testimonials? It's damn irratating to have so many animated testimonials on your page that just says "Nice knowing you" or "Thanks for adding me" Geez!! Testimonials are supposed to be a testament of a person, which describes his or her character. Why on earth do people post Christmas/Valentine's/Chinese New Year greetings as their testimonial?

Well I'm sorry if any of you sent me any of those (although I really appreciate the effort), I just delete them. Testimonials are suppose to come from the heart, NOT a "copy-and-paste" forwarded message from someone else. The worst of all? MUSICAL TESTIMONIALS! OMG! That always pisses me off! Maybe Friendster should create a section for greetings instead to avoid the confusion of such ignorant people.
