National Security 101: Part 2 – Do I Look Stupid To You?
(Picture source: http://www.stupid-pictures.com/)
My earlier encounter is here
My Gmail inbox always get emails from people who purportedly have come across or in custody a large sum of money which they need assistance to bring out from the country. The other type is the email informing you that you have just won a big sum in a lottery.… [Click to read the rest] “National Security 101: Part 2 – Do I Look Stupid To You?”

(This may happen in 2012 too – picture source: www.occultopedia.com)
If you are a Hindu or a Mayan, this should be good news…
According to an article by David Hedges titled “Golden Age in 2012”, the golden age is expected to start on 22nd December 2012.… [Click to read the rest] “Ancient History 101: When The World Ends iYear 2012”
Blogging 101: Blogging and Responsibility
(This picture, although may offend some, is running through my mind when words like “government”, “responsibility”, “legal suit” and “law” hit the front pages. Picture source: Pinterest)
Now isn’t this looks funny and downright ridiculous?
By now, the government and the mainstream media seem to be high in painting all bloggers as the “real menace” to society. So much that, my colleague at the office was quick to point out the “threat” by Pak Lah in the newspapers and asked me whether I am going to continue blogging.

The thing about American Idol
Ya, I watched it on Astro last night.
But I have a confession to make – I am not a big “idol” of American Idol or local version, Malaysian Idol. I never watched the finals or spend sleepless nights wondering who get picked up for the next round. It is simply a waste of time – because whoever in the finals, are those who can really sing.… [Click to read the rest] “The thing about American Idol”
Book Review 101: Louis Fischer’s Engaging Read – The Life of Mahatma Gandhi
(Mahatma Gandhi – One short heavy stuff but don’t mind me, I am just having a fever – I can, in fact, write weird stuff. Image source: Wikipedia)
Gandhi – I recall “meeting” him for the first time in my grandpa’s house back in the 70s. He was up on the wall with a golden frame. My grandpa must have had the greatest respect for this old man with frame spectacles. At my age then, I use to think that the old man in the photo was my great, great grandfather.

Movie Review 101: Star Wars 1977: The Force is Strong with This One
(Star Wars: New Hope – probably the greatest movie that came out to capture everyone’s imagination and left a deep impression of their life. Picture source: IMDB)
In a galaxy far, far away…
The Star Movie channel over Astro been showing all the movies in the Star Wars trilogy and last Sunday was the screening of Episode IV (Episodes V & VI will be shown in this week and thereafter). This is not the first time I am watching all the 6 movies – I probably have watched Episode IV about 20 times (or more!) and the rest between 10 – 15 times – ya, I am one crazy Star Wars fan. But despite that, it still feels exciting whenever I see on screen a Jedi fights with a light saber or R2D2 arguing with C3PO – the “Force” has made a strong impact on many of us.
The first Star Wars movie (Episode IV) came out in 1977 at the time when I was just 4 years old – too young to understand what the “Force” means.
