I honest to goodness have a tendency to look around for good for money interesting deals on group deal sites. Might have got to do with a little bit too much free time on my hands at work or I’m just too poor for spending money on something for full price. Either way, in this case its a deal that I will never ever regret in my life. Playing with actual real life guns in the heart of KL.

After the Johnny Walker event last year I would never have thought that I would have the opportunity to attend another this year. Albeit sudden and without the company of madmen this time around. Held at MAEPS which is ironically located inside the grounds of UPM it was smaller in size in terms of attendees and venue. Though the air conditioner was working rather well it was made even more exclusive as invitations was rediculously hard to come by.
Being a mostly beer person, I took up the opportunity to attend as my sister had an extra invite at the very last moment to try some new concoctions created for the event. It was fairly interesting to say the least. There was a bartender who created a coconut with Jony Walker mixed with dry ice. It was quite a show I might quite add as the bubbling mixture looked as if we were going to drink some sort of magical potion. On a side note: Anything with alchohol is a magical potion. I prefer the my drink on the rocks pure just the way it was meant to be. Thank you very much.
The FREAKING AWESOME AMAZING chocolates were back. I can’t put it into words how this balls of chocolatey goodness can ever be made. I would love to know where they get it from. I could write a poetry and compose a song on how good it was but it won’t be today unfortunately.
Met a few of my sister’s friends and although I was getting really bored I bummped into my old friend Tony Eusoff. It’s been years since we had worked together and he still remembers me and my sis. Amazing how time flies. Tony will be performing in a new stage production in Singapore in July called _____.
Well, coming back to the event. The music was okay. The atmosphere was good. The gold label drank when I was invited into the VIP area was VERY NICE! The crowd was in a lack of a better word very nicely dressed and was pleasing to the eyes. *hint hint*
Overall, it was very well organised and totally exclusive as per stated. I just hoped that I would at least gotten a few invites to bring my buddies in though. We would have brought the house down. Well, maybe. Its nice to try new ways of drinking Johnny Walker but all in all as I had said I still prefer mine neat on the rocks as that how I prefer to keep walking.
P/s: Yes. I’m bloody hell back into blogging. For permanent this time I bloody hope.

It is interesting. Very interesting. An observation that is of people’s behaviour. Although the seperation between right from wrong is distance with a wide grey area this is still in my humblest of opinion is hypocricity.
What I mean is this. My observation started with a little known incident called the Great Tohoku Earthquake or also known as that big huge ass earthquake/tsunami that devestated Japan’s east coast. After that incident many people around the world and especially in my home country rallied to their aid. Collecting food, monetary aid, blankets and the like. I’m not saying its a bad thing. It’s a very good thing to do to help others and I highly encourage it. But then why the fuss? Read on.
Then one day about a month or so we could see many people still hyped up the aid thing by forming organizations and organising events to collect funds and to create awareness. Some of these people were my peers. Just like me they love Japan. Just like me it was because of anime, their music and culture that first spark our interest in Japan. But that is where it stops though. Although it was sad to see what has happen the general public should know that Japan with all of its economic might could and would be able to survive and rebuild even without much foreign aid.
Heck, we actually need more cold hard foreign cash than they do. In fact, Japan received so much in donations they didn’t even really had a system to set up to distribute it. Aid was aplenty but could not get through until the American military had to step in to help deliver it. This highly misplaced motivation to help didn’t really bother me actually until THREE freaking months passed and some groups were STILL at it collecting donations.
First month or so? Fine. After three whole months? You have got to be kidding me. The entire nation of Japan did not get swept into the sea guys. Only a few towns got oblilerated. Yes, it is sad that many people still got killed. I felt really sad too. All unatural deaths are sad.
But lets put things this way, thousands of children are dying of starvation in Somalia due to extreme drought. Where’s the aid campaign? Hundreds of people are dying in the middle east due to political oppression and wars. Where’s the awareness campaign? How about the many natural disaster events that wreak havoc and death in the past year alone before this? I don’t think I see anything much done. Remember Hurricane Katrina? Nothing much too.
Some might argue that “Hey, I like that country so I’ll do what I can. I don’t really care about the others. So I’m gonna let others to handle it.” Yes, that is an acceptable arguement but it will never right or wrong. I’m just saying that people need to set their minds to moderation in their actions. If you think that it is REALLY necessary then yes by all means go ahead. If not then just do what you can by your limited contributions. Some events need more of your help and attention than others.
So since now that I have your attention how about we feed some malnurished almost dying child in some part of the world for once?
It is interesting. Very interesting indeed. An observation that is of people’s behaviour. Although the separation between right from wrong is distance with a wide grey area this is still in my humblest of opinion is hypocrisy.

I usually do not comment on current events on my site for due to various reasons especially on stuff so close to home but on this matter I just find it ridiculous. The reason for me writing this? The Malaysian government has conveniently decided to ban internet access to certain file sharing websites. Both torrent and direct download sites. I mean how and where can I now download my prons documents and stuff? Okay, okay I know you the venerable reader has just doubt my reasons for it but then unfortunately the reasons stated for such a move is greatly unreasonable and unjustified.
Due to the so called pressure mounted by the local music and movie industry this initiative is being implemented. I would strongly suggest the local entertainment industry especially the movie industry to stop creating mind numbing crap in the first place before even mentioning that piracy affect their sales.
Blocking direct download sites is stupid as it will effect those who do NOT download copyrighted files from them. Direct download sites usually have users ‘flagging’ inappropriate content so that it can be removed. Besides, the MSC Malaysia Bill of Guarantees states that the goverment will not censor the internet. This action would only bring a precedence of the goverment controlling the internet and thus giving control to certain quaters for their own gains.
More work should be done to combat piracy by making original products more affordable or by creating an enviroment whereby the normal average joe could actually afford those said original products.
A blue-ray disc in the US is RM35 after conversion but the same item cost about RM90+. A rediculous example perhaps but an example of why people resort to piracy in the first place. Smoke don’t appear when there is no fire.
