how the baju melayu celebrate eidulfitri, middle east-style

my 2nd consecutive year celebrating eid in the adopted UAEland. thousands of miles away from family and old friends, but alhamdulillah new friends and colleagues help to make this year's hari raye quite an eventful affair.

on the menu was the custamory eid prayer, a morning breeze at the Creek, open house, open house, and more open house; the office eid mubarak nite + duit raye :), and then my housemates sadly decided to organise our own open house (right pic)

a photo chronology was imminent. lets go to 'less talk, more rock' mode

all nazis were harmed in this picture

One thang and thang only...kill the nazis

I have to say I am a little biased towards Quentin Tarantino, I grew up admiring what a phenomenon 'Pulp Fiction' was.I watched it when I was in post hi-skool and it is still written in my top 3 film of all time.

So naturally every subsequent QT flick was met with high expectations. Unfortunately, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol 1&2 and Grindhouse has not really lived up to the billing. Then i heard all the good vibe about his latest project Inglourious Basterds which tell the tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers chosen specifically to kill Nazis (read my stoked post back in May here).

Lt. Aldo Raine and his basterds

I watched it twice. A dark historical fantasy, brave, unique and just sheer brilliant. Easily Mr Tarantino's best work since Pulp Fiction.

The film makes no apologies, asks for no forgiveness, it's a no holds barred assault on the senses. Tarantino doesn't care if he offends, if he steps all over stereotypes and clichés, this is film making at it purest.

and btw, for my money Christian Waltz deserves an oscar nomination for his potrayal as the Nazi "Jew Hunter" SS Colonel Hans Landa

Colonel Hans Landa, best QT character since Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield

demmit...No Use for a Name & MxPx live in KL?

nobody@vox.com(jimlucky) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:03:03 +0800

N U F A N, KL-date flyer

MxPx, KL-date flyer

double-dosage of punkrock remedy in my backyard? smells delicious...but too bad i cant make it :(

first, San Jose,California-based pop-punkers No Use for a Name will hit Ruums next weekend. One of many bands on FatWreck roster that I grew up listening to...'Dumb Reminders' is literally one of my favourite anthemic song, period

then,come Dec 11, MxPx will perform at No1 cafe, Jln TAR (err..never heard of this venue before). The trio from Bremerton, Washington has been championing skatepunk since 1992. Their latest album 'Secret Weapon' is a return to form after a series of mediocre effort. But 1996's 'Life in General; is still their classic

wish i was there in the sweaty pit
