Simple Little Fibs

Hey everyone

Anyway, my dad came back from Phuket, which more or less turned out to be a serendipidious vacation for him haha. Now, now I’m planning to drag The Gang™ there for our next trip (we’ve been talking about the possibility of an overseas trip one of these days, but we weren’t sure where, so now that we know…).

Sent my dad to and from the airport, which is a pretty tiring feat, since the Low Cost Carrier is MILES away from the actual airport itself. To put this in perspective; on the road to KLIA, there will be a fork in the road, if you turn left, you’ll head to the LCC. If you turn right, you’ll head for the main terminal. It takes maybe ten or so minutes to get to the main terminal’s parking lot. Should you choose to turn left and head for the LCC, you’ll be arriving there in another half hour or so, depending on the traffic, of course.

But the trip didn’t leave me empty handed though

Why yes! I am a raging brand whore ;D

In great glorious words, it really is what a woman should smell like. It’s very mild, woody with some floral undertones. It’s very classy and understated, but it also kinda stands out ? I like~

Anyway, did anyone catch the news of Malaysia outright BANNING Mat Rempits/bikers and transvestites/drags from movies and drama? It’s a blanket ruling so ALL movies and dramas have to be remade, this includes those that have already been released.

I honestly think this is insulting. Why? Because it’s like saying that we Malaysians are too stupid to realize what is wrong and right. They say that it’s to discourage such atrocious behaviour, I say, it isn’t going to stop a thing. If people are influenced from what they watch in the cinema, you’ve got another whole different problem entirely. What? They’ll ban movies like Harry Potter now because it will have kids learning witchcraft? How about The Fast and The Furious, are they going to ban that because some cocky Chinese boys from Subang are going to take their modded Proton Sagas and race down the LDP at 3am with it?

And really, honestly, transvestites have been influenced from other, wildly different aspects, movies play no part in it, other than to show that it’s there, it happens, etc. And hey, some of these movies use the comedic, slapstick effect of the hapless hero going in disguise as a woman and making a run for it. YES, they want to ban that too.

Look, I don’t like Rempits at all, I really could do without them, thank you very much. But banning a little 2 hour flick isn’t going to change a damned thing. They do the things they do because of other influences and reasons, not because they saw it in a movie and thought it was the bee’s knees.

So much for moving forward Malaysia I honestly give all my support to the filmmakers out there who will challenge this ruling, it’s stumps creativity and mocks the intelligence of Malaysians. And yet they wonder why foreigners think we’re a strange, backwards lot
