The Machines Are Taking Over!!!
One of the personsn below is, seriously, an android.
No, you can't laugh at the guy's outdated hairstyle and naturally assume that he's out of this world. It's the female on his right which is the android. Read all about it here.
It's pretty scary. Firstly, they do one like these? When will it be when the Machines take over us and drive us underground to form The Resistance?
Will HE come from the future to whoop all of our collective asses?
Kong Hokkien Jin Ho*
Tiong kim wa oh lang ki ji eh "Internet" eh ming kia chuay ji eh char bor boh cheng sar eh tor. Dan si hor? Kan ni na, ai heng lui eh. Wa ar boh ji eh "credit card". Buay sai kuah liao. Zhun pi si kan puah sian ar...
Buay yao kin lah. Wa chuay tio ji eh cheebye kia eh simi ming kia... Tiong kim eh siao lian lang si bei ai sng eh "Internet" eh ming kia. Ehhh.. kio simi ar? Ehhh... tio tio, ji eh ming kia kio "blog".
Hmm chai lah. Lu woo si kan ki kuah kuah, pian ho lah. Eh sai jin por li eh Hokkien eh buay pai. Hor?
Wa si Hokkien lang. Si bei tok kong.
*Translated into Queen's English:
Speaking Hokkien Is Really Swell
On this fine day, I was following in the footsteps of many others before me to go on this device called the Internet to procure pictures of females in their birthday suits. But? God dealt me a bad hand. Curses, you would have to pay for such services. A gentleman like me would naturally have no means of cashless payment like a credit card. That left me bereft of any entertainment and utterly bored out of my wits...
However, that proved to be no consequences at that moment. I managed to seek out something pretty much delightful and peculiar belonging to this little ruffian. I very much believe these things are the fancy of the day for the young in these modern times. What are they called? Ah, I should strongly think they are referred as "blogs".
Well, I'm quite uncertain on how good people like yourself will take to this piece of writing. However, it is of good quality. Perhaps, you might even venture to use the works to improve your Hokkien?
I am a Hokkien person. Jolly good.
Elizabethtown
Cameron Crowe cuts an Internet-only trailer (to an Elton John song no less) for his new feature, Elizabethtown. Stars the walking panties-wetting mannequin Orlando Bloom, the oh-so-still-very-delectable Kirsten Dunst (who gets a drenched scene again ala 'Spiderman'. Heh.), Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon as Bloom's mum. Not to forget as well, Jessica Biel's body.
Check out the trailer (which functions like a music video as well) here.

Well, you learn something new everyday...
For women, it seems, sex is a big turn-off, reveals a brain scanning study. It shows that many areas of the brain switch off during the female orgasm - including those involved with emotion.
“At the moment of orgasm, women do not have any emotional feelings,” says Gert Holstege of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
His team recruited 13 healthy heterosexual women and their partners. The women were asked to lie with their heads in a PET scanner while the team compared their brain activity in four states: simply resting, faking an orgasm, having their clitoris stimulated by their partner’s fingers, and clitoral stimulation to the point of orgasm.
Well, I'm sure the team of scientists had fun conducting the research. To read the rest of the report, read it at the New Scientist site.
Michael Jackson appears on toast
Woah, mama! I read this on the BBC News site. I'm guess this will be going on eBay pretty soon.
What will they think of next?
I'm hoping my face will appear in some bowl of bak ku teh and probably that will signify me winning the Big Sweep or something.

Woah, mama!!!
I was looking through my hard disk and found this old review which I did for Keith for his e-zine almost 4 years ago. Hahaha, it's kinda weird as he's helping out with mine. But he's an amazing writer and all-round walking rock'n'roll encylopedia.
Anyways, here's my review of Doves' 'Lost Broadcast'. By the way, the British band will be playing at DXO, the Esplanade Mall on (Wed?) 20 July. Gracie sweetie, fire up your burner. I'm getting the album from you! Heh!
Doves/The Last Broadcast
Confessions of a reformed indie wanker
It is probably my loss that I did not catch Doves’ debut album, ‘Lost Souls’. The sophomore effort pretty much rocks. Doves does not really have that an unique sound, resembling most bands residing in that genre termed as Brit pop. They just sound miserable most of the time. But, hey, everybody loves a miserable Brit, Ian Curtis, Morrisey, Thom Yorke, etc. So, they rule, for now. What? You wanna know about the music? Who they sound like?
Well, for starters, the latest single, ‘Pounding’, my favourite track in the album is cloned from Pulp’s 95 album ‘Different Class’ complete with a funky guitar break in the middle of the song. However, the breakthrough single here would be ‘There Goes The Fear’. Its plaintive pleas of “close your brown eyes/ and lay down next to me” is plainly seductive, backed by a lush guitar appregio .Dealing with the age-old issue of “punani” problems, Jimi Goodwin attempts to torment his female with an excellent line which could easily backfire upon him: “Think of me when you close your eyes/ Don’t look back when you break all ties”. Regret is often bittersweet.
‘Words’, to me, is stronger than “There Goes The Fear’ in terms of structure and melody. With words so positive, they could even fall into the emo category, not that I’m acquainted with that type of music at all. After a few spins, you can’t help but singing along with the chorus, “I said, words, they mean nothing/ So you can’t hurt me”. A real karoke song in its heart. The gentle ‘M62 Song’ is an adaptation of a King Crimson’s tune, ‘Moonchild’. Cascading slowly like a lullaby, it swoons and pulls the listener in for a gentle flow. Great tune sung with great heart.
It kind of reminds me of the days when I was an indie wanker back in the golden days of my JC life. Back then, I was not even listening to a wide palate of music and yet, putting down others on their personal choices of listening habits. Ah, those good old days… 7.5 --- Willy Wanker

Check your balls...
H.A.I.R. of June, Rachel Stevens teaches you how to examine your balls. Do it now! Courtesy of Robin who is busy checking his right now.
Chekkit now.
Well, fuck me upside-down!!!
Just read on Pitchfork and many other assorted sources that Pink Floyd is reforming for a one-night performance for the G8 festival.
James Gregory reports:
Fuck the Eagles, musical hell has finally frozen over, as the BBC reports that estranged bassist/dictator Roger Waters will be rejoining his former Pink Floyd bandmates for a live gig at the upcoming Live 8 festival this summer. The lineup will feature the classic Dark Side of the Moon/Wall incarnation of the premiere space rockers, which also includes David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright-- although I'd auction off, like, my entire record collection to get a rehabbed Syd Barrett up thereÊcomplete withÊsignature pink paisley Telecaster.
The foursome, who haven't performed together as a unit since 1983's The Final Cut, will play a set at London's Hyde Park on July 2 as part of the rock fundraiser's UK gathering. And although the group will play alongside such heavyweights as the Who, Paul McCartney, U2, Elton John, and Madonna, all eyes are expected to be fixed intently on Floyd, whose two-decade personal and legal feuding has remained one of the most bitter, and fan-crushingly stupid in all of rock-- being fueled generously by the band's two Pink Floyd studio albums as a trio since Waters' departure.
In a recent statement, guitarist David Gilmour shed some light on the group's recent decision to reform (Alzheimer's?). "Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile."
While no word yet on whether an album, tour, or other reunion-ish activities may develop from this one-off collaboration, we'll keep you posted on any further developments. In the meantime, I just wanted to say "fuck the Eagles" again.

Where You End and Batman Begins aka I is Superpal...
Whilst I could have caught 'Batman Begins' which is the movie event of the year for me (die, you Star Wars infidels!!!) on Mon with some preview tickets, I didn't. Cuz I is Superpal. Not a superhero but just a good friend who maintains my promise to a friend, Joe Jee whom I promised to catch the show with.
Now, Joe Jee tells me he's getting 2 of his female friends to join us. Actually, I'm not that excited about the prospect of having more estrogen in my currently estrogen-deficient lifestyle. I'm much more amazed at how strong the Grey Force is in Joe Jee.
The Grey Force: His ability for his relationships with females tread oh-so-ambiguiously between friendship and something quite beyond friendship. Sooner or later, the female will fall for him like a fly dropping into a Venus' Flytrap, eating out of his palms (and prolly something else too). He's that good.
The Grey Force. It's an amazing superpower in itself...

I r consultant...
My membersss, Sujin had an interview with Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler from The Tears last evening!!! Yeshhhh!!! Anderson and Butler!!! Killer!!! Anyway, he called me up to get some dish on the duo which I, being a Suede fan, automatically volunteered my services...
He asked me for some questions that I thought might interest their fans. I believe I speak for Billy and Max when I listed these questions:
1) Brett, after all these years, are you still a bisexual without a homosexual experience?
2) Brett, when you dissolved Suede in 2003, you said you needed to feel "the creative fire" again. Does this mean you want to sell more records this time round with The Tears?
3) Bernard, will we ever hear another McAlmont & Butler album again?
4) Bernard, why do you like to work with either gay men or used-to-be-ambiguiously-gay men?
5) Will you guys come to Singapore to play? Bernard, can you sign my Epiphone ES-335?!?!
Okay, the last question was more for my sake...

Pacman
Came across this article.
A human version of the classic arcade game Pacman, superimposing the virtual 3D game world on to city streets and buildings, is being developed by researchers at Singapore.
Players equipped with a wearable computer, headset and goggles can physically enter a real world game space by choosing to play the role of Pacman or one of the Ghosts.
A central computer system keeps track of all their movements with the aid of GPS receivers and a wireless local area network.
The Human Pacman was developed by Adrian David Cheok and his team at the Mixed Reality Lab, National University of Singapore.
Merging different technologies such as GPS, Bluetooth, virtual reality, wi-fi, infrared and sensing mechanisms, the augmented reality game allows gamers to play in a digitally-enhanced maze-like version of the real world.
Read the rest of the article here. Check out what the players see through their headset!!! Killer!!! Where can I sign up to test out the stuff? NUS never looked this exciting before!

Copeland...
Okay, so I've read online that Copeland is coming down... but how the hell do they sound? I dunno! Chekkit!
Someone have a clue?
I is broke...
Pretty fast to boot as well... No matter, I need something absolutely cheap and goot to do to while away those lonely weekends until I get my next pay cheque.
Unfortunately, sevral of my friends are performing soon and they are all playing in pubs. Godammit!!! How to survive without drinking? I dun fucken know! My good friends from IF and Camra will shaking their bits to their hits at Prince Of Wales pub this Friday night. I guess I'll be going down to support in full force with 2 pints of beer. Sigh...
One more week to "Batman Begins". I'm avoiding all material related to the movie. Think I've been over-exposed to the entire marketing machine and the gazillion trailers I've seen so far. I don't think I would wanna suffer from pre-movie hype fatigue.
So who's on about donning a pair of tights and catching the show together? Joe Jee, reply me, you bastard you!!!
