Another meme flying around…

I ‘stole’ this from Minishorts, having decided that it was super fun to do since I’m bored. (I’m always bored. Heh.) Anyway, it is sort of a break from Sudoku – work is currently going slow at the moment. So yeah…meme time!

Buying dogs just for feng shui?
To would-be dog owners as highlighted by The Star,
Having a dog is not easy. Caring for it may almost be akin to caring for a child. There is, after all, the grooming, training, exercise, diet and medical bills to think of. Consider this decision carefully before you go all out just because it is the Year of the Dog. Your decision affects many lives, namely yours’, your family’s and the dog’s.
And should you ever decide to go ahead with it, don’t dump your new pet halfway when it has outgrown its cuteness or when it becomes annoying or tiresome to care for. Give it to someone who will love and care for it more than you ever can.
Dumping is never the solution. It is the problem.
Sincerely,
A loving dog owner.
That would be the tone I would use for the papers. But since this is a blog, I’ll just get straight to the point.
Fun stuff!
Got this from a friend of mine…feel free to participate ya???

Of religion in M’sia.
Much has been said about M. Moorthy’s passing and his wife’s struggle to lay claim to his body (and subsequently, contest his conversion to Islam). We have been told time and time again to let the matter sleep since it has been nearly a month.
I don’t think we should.
No Brokeback Mountain for us!
First it was Schindler’s List. Then it was True Lies. After that it was a bunch of other movies – frankly, the list is growing too long for me to remember.
Now it is this.
Cinemas will not show Ang Lee film
BY MUMTAJ BEGUMKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians will not have the chance to watch Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain, which picked up seven nominations for the Jan 16 Golden Globe Awards on the big screen.
The film, which is distributed by Focus Features in the United States, is not on any local distributors list.
Dawn Liew, promotions and publicity manager with United International Pictures (M) – which is the distributor for another Focus Features’ film, Pride & Prejudice – said: “As far as UIP (M) is concerned, we don’t have plans to release it. We are not even sure if the movie is ours to distribute in Malaysia.”
Brokeback Mountai, she said, was unsuitable for local consumption.
The epic western is the first big-budget Hollywood movie to open the closet doors on a gay-themed movie. It is a story of a two-decade romance between two cowboys.
The movie even faced problems in the town of Sandy, Salt Lake City, United States where a movie theatre pulled it out at the last minute.
On a more positive note, Malaysians may just be able to watch controversial film, Munich, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Eric Bana.
Liew confirmed that UIP had Munich scheduled for an April 13 opening in Malaysia.
“We will bring in the print in March and submit it to the Film Censorship Board. Although the chances of the film getting through is slim, we believe there is a niche market for Munich,” she said.
Munich tells the story of vengeance that Israel allegedly vented against Palestinian terrorists after the 1972 Olympics tragedy in Munich. Eleven Israeli hostages were murdered by a group known as Black September whose members were Palestinians.
It is based on George Jonas’ book Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorism Team.
Litterbug idiot!
To the driver of a blue-ish Kenari BGT 1828,
It was bad enough that you had a difficult time trying to make up your mind at the toll, switching between the Smart Tag lane and then the Touch & Go lane only to decide that the Smart Tag lane was a better option for you.
Never mind. I was in a good mood even though I had earlier watched a driver of a rather lovely and brand new looking Perdana honked at two people who trying to change lanes (and WHO did nothing wrong – the Perdana driver was just being a pain).
And then you just HAD to fucking do it. Not only were you contented with doing it once, you did it again!!!
Boredom ensues.
I guess this is what happens when you start suffering from holiday withdrawal symptoms. Geh.
Anyways, will be taking some time off blogging. My brain has suddenly gone idle after reading about M’sian politics and the shitty stuff that goes on in our country. Heh.
