La Vie Bohème!

The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English language in the nineteenth century to describe the untraditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, musicians, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti establishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through non-marital sexual relations, frugality, and/or voluntary poverty

Why the f*ck aren't we taught these thing in school? Guess some idiot thinks it's better for u to know E = MC^2 or Baik Hati is blablablabaa...

Anyway, I got the urge to go checkout this play in a real theater.

Rent is a rock musical, with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson based on Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side in the thriving days of the Bohemian East Village, under the shadow of AIDS.

Dunno y, but really like stories that are based upon young struggling people that living their life for art or music or something outside the goddamn corporate mondo garbage. From the video, you can really see these actors really sinking their damn teeth into the roles they are playing, Sorta reminds me of my short role in theater play as #Voice No.3 during my college day. Just gotta love the part where the dude in glasses spurts out "Sex Drive", WAHAHAHA...

Cock + Tail = Cocktail

Had a shot at the laundry bar awhile ago to celebrate my freedom from my sex coding mistress Miss Websphere Portal. Wanted to tryout the Porn Star or Scooby Snack cocktail but takada in menu, so ended up testing the Brave Bull cocktail instead. Mixed from Kahlua + Tequila, this sucker's taste dun really register with my taste bud. Dun like the sweet taste + alcohol taste... Maybe 1st time drink not used to the taste yet, but still prefer the Lemon Drop Shots taste which is sour, which sort of masks the alcohol taste. Anyway this sucker cost around RM18 (include tax), which is quite cheap (Atleast cheaper than the Irish Pub in Midvalley and comparable to the Pub in Sunway). As for effect, felt the effect not long after sipping it down. Lasted around 15+ mins then just felt sleepy. Maybe starting to get immune to the alcohol effect...

How do you measure a year?

~A tale on raining

"What do you think about death?"

Just watch tis movie awhile ago. Flawed but enjoyable movie so I giving 7 outta 10. If you enjoyed Joe Black or City of Angels, you'll probably enjoy tis movie as well.

The movie, divided into the 3 sub stories, we see through the eyes of Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) a Grim Reaper, ordinary people (a young lady, a yakuza and a old lady) living their not so special but important life. 3 cases handle by Chiba, as he watches these people through their last 7 days before deciding to "Proceed" or "Suspend" their death. Ultimately all 3 story is interwoven as one in the last story...

I have to admit the opening scene really got me by surprise. Most part of the movie have a happy tone to it thanks to the puns by Chiba. Make no mistake, while the movie itself is themed after the Grim Reaper, it spins a tale that focuses more on Life rather than Death. And its hard to justify the decisions Chiba made as we expected Chiba to "Suspend" their death but the final message is "It's not important if we die or life as long we live a life to its fullest". Many reviews actually view the 2nd tale on the yakuza as the weakest part of the story. I beg to differ. While the story may seen disjointed from the other 2 stories, this story I felt holds a hidden meaning that makes it shines just as bright the other two story.

Having said that, the movie ends rather in the open ended manner, leaving it as a test to the viewers on Chiba's decision to "Proceed" or "Suspend" the death of a old women whom lived life to its fullest. Another plus to the movie is the actress Manami Konishi. I agree with the comment of one of the guys who sat near me, at first glance she looks normal, but if you looks closer and longer, you will notice she is definitely beautiful.
