Chinese New Year 2009: Year of the Earth Ox
Well, this year my family decided to go somewhere else: Ipoh. It's a place one of my cousins live in, and we're pretty excited to celebrate this new year with somewhere different.
First off: Ipoh does have it's charm of its mountainous geographical area. (Seriously, it really feels really good with the hills reaching the clouds and my parents are literally excited about the sallow caves they spotted). We went to a cave temple there, and it was a Buddhist version of Batu Caves. And yes, It was crowded even for the new year's day where people supposed to be at home celebrating. Yea, my family included.
I can't believe I'm so damn freaking tired when I'm driving back, I'm overcoming it with loud music and humming them. Too bad, i had to pull up at the nearest R&R stop to ask my sister to continue the rest of the journey. So, Ipoh is farther than I thought it would be.
All in all, it was a great experience.

Internship: Week 0
The reason I name it week 0 because it's not really my official internship period yet.
So I got my internship placement in Motiofixo, located in Cyberjaya. It's great news that is near my place. So no fuss, traffic jams or something stupid while traveling to work.
So far the big guy is just showing some of the ropes in the place. My first impression: Very laidback and casual, but it's still business and work. Hopefully my actual job have an environment as such.
And yes, there's a gaming console at the lobby! But it's only allowed after office hours.
More updates soon.

Switch the Channel
I remember the last time I did blog about the music nowadays being such a crap fest that people will just listen to without even considering that the particular song even make any sense. I think television is quickly following to sunk its quality.
Back in the day when TV is pretty much a staple entertainment in most families, there were pretty good shows that is surely suit someone's tastes. Comedies are cleverly written and are actually funny, some intrigued story lines for dramas and some really, really good sci-fi and adventure TV shows. I think that stopped around early 2000s.
What happened? Reality TV. I admit, I am a sucker in some of the show in this genre. Some reality shows are really crappy (watch the ones in MTV), some just drag people out from their everyday lives and put them into a competition, or just in a house with cameras. Boy, some people did just anything for the camera. I mean ANYTHING.
What about the wholesome ones? Well there are still new dramas/sitcoms and actual scripted shows featuring REAL actors, unfortunately they weren't as popular as they used to be. No, not because they suck, but people just prefer to watch either-the run-of-the-mill spin offs of the same genre (I can even tell you which one are these: Cops, hospitals and lawyers). Or the reality crap as described above.
Furthermore, I am pretty pissed that there are already 3 shows in the same network had been canceled. All of them are pretty new TV shows and all of them are pretty different than the rest. I'm refering to ABC's decision to yank off Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. 2 of them I just started to appreciated.
Ah well, it seems to be there is no future of creative writing in TV shows. One can only hope it will be better in the future, once people realize there are better shows on DVD than the ones currently showing on TV.
