In view of the recent economical meltdown that is on the brink of pushing the Malaysian ringgit weaker than the US dollar (which is already weakening on its own), that shows the spirit of Malaysia boleh. If you notice, every day, for the last 2 months at least, there is a number of police reports being lodged, by all factions of the government and politicians.

The reason is, there is a megasale carnival going on at Bukit Aman. Buy one police report get free another police report. Lodge 10 police reports and you get 100 bonus link points. Thank God I’m a bonus link member. I am entitled to this offer, in addition to my Shell petrol points! Woohoo!

It’s time to bring out the cash and cards - YES, the grand Police Report Mega Sale Carnival is here again! The carnival brings endless glorious days of police reports galore. From one coast to another and from the biggest political parties to useless scallywags, the nation will be awash with fantastic bargains, promotions and discounts for police reports.

Hmm, what police report shall I lodge? For starters, I’m planning to make a police reports on all police reports made by all political parties. I doubt the police would do anything, as they themselves might lodge a police report to abolish the police report.

Mockery.

Even Chris Cornell has caught the Timbaland fever! I was surprisingly pleased with the combination of the two of them. Though, I think it would’ve been a super song for a NEW artist like David Cook instead of someone who is as seasoned as Chris Cornell. From Soundgarden to Audioslave to going solo. I loved Cornell’s work on the previous James Bond soundtrack, and that rock version of MJ’s Billie Jean.

His next album is due in November, and this track is the first tune off the album, which only took six weeks between Chris Cornell and Timbaland to complete. Who would’ve thought Chris Cornell moving into R&B. However, it has some psychedelic elements and I’m sure that’s how the album will turn out to be.

I have to admit though, thanks or no thanks to Timbaland, this song will grow on you.

This song is fucking catchy. Easily the catchiest upbeat tune of 2008. Each time this song shows up on my playlist (either in the car or at home), I can’t stop dancing to it. Even my girlfriend was not spared, I grabbed her and pretended that our living room was some reggae shack on some island, dancing until the break of dawn. 

Because of this song, I checked out their latest album. There are some solid reggae tracks on it, but this tune is the daddy of them all. How shall I describe this group? They are a band that infuses reggae with hip hop, a little bit of funk, jazz, folk and rock thrown in for good measure. 

Impressive. Get ready to shake your booty.

 Hey I be gone today
But I be back around the way 
Seems like everywhere I go 
The more I see the less I know 
But I know one thing that I love you 
I love you 
I love you 
I love you

This is the first official single taken off Nickelback’s latest album, Dark Horse, which is due to be released in November. The song is about searching for the right person to spend the rest of your life with, and deals with the fear of wondering if you may ever find that person.

The lead singer still looks like a dog to me. LOL. A poodle of sorts, an experiment gone horribly wrong. Let’s just concentrate on the music. Woof!


Nickelback - Gotta be Somebody

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there

This is classic! A classic rock ballad. I love Hinder, and this is a song that perfectly flaunts the lead’s singer’s prowess. Though parts of the chorus sometime sounds like some other tune. Nevertheless it’s a magnificent tune. It may not come close to “Lips of an Angel” in terms of individualism, but take nothing away from it.

Highly recommended to those of you who came of age enjoying 80s rock ballads like yours truly. I’m really looking forward to their album early next month, and with that, I’m gonna start listening to their previous album to brace myself.

Hinder - Without You

I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper

Cause something’s changed
You’ve been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Its safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I’m seein myself so differently
I didn’t wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I’m fine
Without you

Called you up cause’ it’s been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it’s taken its toll on me
It’s safe to say that I’m ready to let you leave

Women TEST men. They will wittingly create certain states of affairs to see how you respond. She will push you to your limits make no doubt about that. Some women test hell of a lot, and some just don’t bother, it all comes down to her personality, experiences and the number of men she has dealt with in her life.

A BIG point is to say what you think, and not what you think she wants to hear. Come on, you have you own opinion and thoughts, don’t be afraid to act on them. Don’t just agree with her for the sake of attracting her, it won’t work.

Never judge women by their words, always judge them by their actions. Forget the words, women speak a different language and it’s called emotions. If you don’t understand her at times, just ask her how she feels.

Another big test that women give us men, is their freaking fake-ass eyelashes! I’ve been noticing a trend developing among girls who have lack of eyelashes, the oriental mata sepet kinds are the usual ones. DON’T THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW THOSE ARE FAKES? Oh well, as long as they do not go overboard like this Japanese girl. Now that’s a REAL test for men - the reason, only God knows!
