too much differences everytime

Ever feeling fustrated when reading a story from the comic it got a different storyline from the TV? I have been getting that often and wonder why the authors can't sticl to the same story? Usually some origins got changed or the character got changed. Take Transformers for example, Optimus Prime been altered many times and is still happening. I watched his origin from the cartoon on TV. Then the comic shows a different origin, and a different one again, if it change publisher. Will reshuffle or reboot storylines be good for sales? I think it done too many times the readers hates it. Now DC Comics wants to make changes on Superman's early days, during his Superboy days. I haven't read it yet but from the art, it just don't seems to be my type of material. What's next? Batman, Spiderman or .....?

time travel?

Do you believes in time travel? It seems someone believes there is one such case from the DVD of Chaplin's 'The Circus'. In it part shows a woman talking to a device being held at her ear, just like the modern day cell phone. But because the flim is grainy it is just hard to confirm. If she is from the future, then her cell must have signal. So could she be talk to someone from the future or someone in the current year but also with the same device? It is just speculations. See it and you decide for yourself.

cowardly neighbours

In this modern time, where everyone lives next to someone. The old days, these neighbours are like a family, or as a small community would look after each other. It seems this kind of spirits are lost. When these family spirits are gone, the neighbours could be your nightmare. Usually cowards that goes wrecking your stuff while you were out, complain about you to find fault or act insane just to show you they will annoy you. And it seems these cowards are happening at other countries too. In New York a lady have to defend herself because she built a treehouse within her own garden. So some cowards filed a complaint. Somehow she is blessed and won the suit. Her treehouse is now granted landmark status. She is safe and those cowards would now focus on other poor souls.

walkman ending

Sony walkman still exists. But not for long. Sony decided to stop production. The walkman is the portable cassette player. I used it when I was a teen during the early 90s. I am stil holding on to mine but doubt that it still works. Have not been using it I assume the rubberband within it melted. The FM radio should still works. The cassettes are still around but no one sell their songs on cassettes anymore, except maybe in those third world places. I still have my cassette but it is not possible to continue to listen to them. MP3 format is easier to play. Still the best memories are with the cassette and my money was spent there so I am holding to them for now. Maybe portable players of other brands are still avaliable. Whatever the case, it is end of an era.

haze is daze

The haze is back. As usual it comes every year. The Indonesian there burns as usual the vegetations and this haze just float all the way to as far as KL. The haze doesn't affect me like it does to other people. Maybe I am not that sensitive. I am even planning to go jog. Having haze doesn't make the day special. It is the usual normal day you have to slog. Weekend coming. Enjoying hazing... :)

hdb sleeping

Came across this sad post about HDB wanting to put to sleep a cat because someone complained. If a complain can lead to putting sleep on a life, HDB should be put to sleep. News of dog biting people and yet just a fine. What worse can a cat do and it will lead to being put to sleep? HDB better wake up from your sleep because a cat have the rights to live and it isn't a stray cat. If the rule forbid cats, then you should also go knock on every door to smoke out other cat owner. And to the complain king, go sleep 1st.

McDonald food bash....

Story on McDonald's food hit the web again. This time someone claimed to have kept the meal for 6 months and show off the results. It turned rock hard and no decomposition happened. The usual two groups of people then starts to bash the story. The basher and the defends. All these seems to be happening so what is really in the food from McD? How is it other fast food doesn't get such stories on their food? Maybe someone should start to be fair and compare the other fast food too. Getting the government to involve would be good too, consider it as kind of regulation in the food safety. Somehow I doubt it will happen.
