what the …?!

by azwanmahzan on Tuesday, 22nd August 2006

Read about this on Google News this morning, and I’ve been scratching my head ever since. Apparently, Sudanese poet and novelist Kola Boof has come out with a statement that international terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden is so obsessed with rnb diva Whitney Houston that he considered giving her a stately mansion in the suburbs [...]

a continuous lapse in judgment, pt.2

Let me translate that Japanese text for you.
What we have here is a USB-powered seat cooler, for those times when the office air conditioning just ain’t doing it for your hot crossed buns, or for after your boss hogs your PC because it’s way faster than his no-harddrive-memory-left, last-time-i-defragged-it-was-when-Movement-was-still-standing computer. Just plug this baby into [...]

10 things i learned at force of nature

People will not fork out RM80 for a music festival that doesn’t have any foreign (read: American) artists of oh-my-god-he’s-here-he’s-actually-really-here caliber.
The artists who did perform on Saturday sang, spun, scratched and acted their hearts out. Big ups to them for caring.
Waiting in line for an hour and a half for a 3 minute hot-air balloon [...]

MTV came too late to our shores for me to have caught Yo! MTV Raps, the blueprint for urban music television programming. By the time Astro started broadcasting here, the hip hop showcase hosted by Doctor Dre (don’t get it twisted, this is a different Doc, not the one who owns Aftermath Records), Ed Lover [...]

It’s not everyday that I get to have a fancy lunch other than my usual Mid Valley food court, RM2.50 nasi campur at LG level so when I was invited by the folks from Heineken, Pervert Designs and Ogilvy PR to dig into some fine food at La Bodega yesterday, I felt like it was my birthday. It was a farewell [...]

HBO Asia just had an all-out launch party for its latest golden goose series, the Hollywood insider-driven, Ferarri-driving, cameo-filled siliconefest Entourage, starring Adrian Grenier, Kevin Conolly and Jeremy Piven. Partygoers who attended got to gawk at the local female version of the Entourage team: entertainment personalities Serena C, Hannah Tan, Amber Chia, Jojo Struys and [...]

a continuous lapse in judgment

Anyone remember the Segway Human Transporter? It debuted in the mass market three years ago, and was supposed to revolutionise the way we skip off to the 7 Eleven for a brew and a Kit Kat. The revolution didn’t come. Yeah, a few people are using Segways to get around these days (not here in [...]

free offline music

I was in the Bukit Bintang district a couple of days ago when i came across this 10-man strong group of buskers performing in front of a highly-piqued audience of shoppers, professional lepakologists, tourists and a couple of policemen who looked like they were trying to figure out if they could fit all this musical [...]
