Christina Aguilera - Save Me From Myself

No flamboyant hairstyle.
No skimpy dress.
No excessive makeup.
No glass-shattering, ground-breaking singing style.
No shouting through the song.
No provocative lyrics.
No loud percussion.
No sluttish dance moves.
As simple as you get, as charming as you become.
Your voice is at its best in this song.
How can I not loving it?

SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
By Christina Aguilera

It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you've gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through

When I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting
with your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
from myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself

My love is tainted by your touch
Cuz some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away

Don't ask me why I'm crying
Cuz when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself
from myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong

And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
a better woman to myself
to myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

Taka Kham Kham Also Ok

I was keyboarding furiously. Fixating my eyes on the laptop screen and working hard and fast to finish up the report then suddenly a notification message came on the screen that I have just received an email message. Taking a short break, I clicked the message and it popped up on screen.

Although not familiar with the email address, I am sure this email is from someone that I might have know and it is not a junk email or something. The message - in exact text - is as follows: -

hai e iam ravi you know i want com thear laist time u sent for me nepal what u can halp me plz. iam ok now avery thing .so if u want healp me u cal phXXXXXXXXXXXX ok so u taka kham kham also ok , what i do affter i can com thear.

While I think I can guess the entire meaning of the message but I could use a little help here in deciphering what he means by OK SO U TAKA KHAM KHAM ALSO OK. My other colleagues are totally helpless.

City Of God

There is no God living in the City of God. City of God is no heaven to you and me and anything spiritual. Far from it, it is cold-blooded and too low a human life to be (At least that's what I think). It shows you life struggles in a condemned place, or aptly put, in a slum. To become a 'God' and success in the slum, one has to... well... kill, and be powerful and notorious as one can be through ill-gotten gains and means. Drug-related crimes and gang warfare are inseparable in slum. This place is cursed!

The youths of the slum read no books and the only education that they know is that kill to get ahead. Kill to seek revenge. Kill to get thrills. Kill so that the 'business' is yours to take over. Kill, or be killed. They minds are preocupied with ways of getting rich and becoming fearsome in the slum in order to be where they think they should be. If you can stomach the vision of yong persons flashing and using thier guns without thinking much, then I think you will accept this movie well.

A movie dealing with darker side of humanity but if you like story as real as it gets (like me), this movie you shouldn't missed and disappointed.

By the way, this movie is based on true story and events. BBC had a survey to see how long the youths in the slum live. You'll be 'impressed' with the findings.

By the way, this is one of the impressive movies that I have watched in recent years - Although it was produced way back in 2002.

Bad Driver

I was on my way home after work. While driving on the LDP highway, a motorcycle was driving in front of my car and on the left side of the road. As my car moved closer to the rear of the bicycle and about to overtake the motorcycle. My heart screamed "What the fxck!" and I immediately slowed down my car from 70km to 50km.

What I was seeing is this. A little girl of about 3 or 4 year-old without helmet was at the backseat struggling to hold on to the motorist's body. The motorist was wearing a helmet! This guy is about 40 something judging from his well-rounded body. I don't know about you but there and then, I feel like giving this guy a tight slap on his face and drag him to police. The little girl was put in a very endangering position and the motorist should know better!

It is wrong not giving the little girl a helmet and no excuse on that. It is wrong to put her at the backseat as she is not able to hold on to the driver's body as a way to steady herself at the backseat. I mean, how do you expect the little girl's arms to be long enough to encircle the adult body? The fact is, she was extending her arm to the maximum but her hands hardly reach to the front. The little girl should, at least, grasp on the t-shirt of the driver to steady herself but I supposed she did not know.

I was following the motorcycle slowly and carefully and hoping that it would not fall as that could be very unfortunate for the little girl. I was thinking to stop the motorcycle but then it crossed my mind that it wasn't a good idea to do so in the highway. Luckily, it wasn't long the motorcycle made a left turn exiting the highway. Nothing unthinkable happened.

How could the motorist be so ignorant of the safety of the little girl? Haven't we learned enough from the motorist accidents and statistics? At the micro level, this is about one irresponsible motorist. At the national level, no wonder motorist the highest death in the motor vehicle accidents. The general attitude of Malaysian motorist is really disappointing.

Am I right to say that it is such a shameful thing that the Sikap Operation has to be enforced with every festive seasons in Malaysia. What makes it worse is the fact that there has not been notable improvement over the years. Does it take a genius to understand the important of road safety?

Beat It!

Wooo hoo hoo hoo. Nice work!

It's a Michael Jackson's song sings in Mandarin with the lyric completely remade. About being forced into joining Kongsi Gelap (Criminal Society) and in this case, selling illegal liquor in exorbitant price! Ha!

In Corruption We Lose

I have not been able to articulate the impact of the corruption in this country despite wanting to write a piece about it. So, when I read about this article by Raja Petra, it is clear to us why we should take the issue of corruption more seriously and there is no difference between paying off a traffic cop RM30.00 to avoid traffic summons and the hassles, and the corruption scandal as huge as PKFZ that involved billions. We, the rakyat biasa, have to pay the price of allowing corruption pervailing in the country. So, please read the article.
