LADY GAGA'S BAD ROMANCE IS MONSTROUS

From Lady Gaga Bad Romance

Have you watched the new video (maybe some did in Youtube, MTV and Channel V) by Lady Gaga? The new single called "Bad Romance" is really monstrous piece of costumes and fashion display free for your eyes only, suiting her new album, The Fame Monster. There is no issue about her choice of costumes that seems to be very revealing. Well, if her clothes are not revealing, who is Lady Gaga anyway? We will lost all her trademarks then and no one will Ga-Ga about it then.

The whole point in this awesome 5 minutes and 7 seconds video is not about the song itself, but Evelyn and my attention are solely focus on her fashion display. She features about 12 different costumes (including the last scene's outfit with some firework displays), none of them are less bizarre than each other. So, here is the dozen of screen print from the official music video of "Bad Romance".



Besides the fashion display in the music video, many may not understand the whole concept of the video but an article from Wikipedia is enough to explain it all. Well, I have to agree that the whole video is interesting but we lost when we look at its conceptual.

The main idea in the video is all about sexual slavery! That's the point!!

Now please do enjoy the music video...This is an official one taken from InterscopeGeffenAM, featuring all the screen shots shown on the embedded slide show above. Warning, this video may not be suitable for minors! Please enjoy!!

WORLD CUP 2010 FEVER STARTED

It is official, the fever for this summer's FIFA World Cup 2010 has finally ignited with much excitement. Early this morning, the group draw was staged in Cape Town, South Africa, at 19:00 (UTC+2) on 4 December 2009 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The ceremony was presented by South African actress Charlize Theron, assisted by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke.

After a heart-pounding 30 minutes of so drawing session, here we have the results for the draw. If your favourite team fell in any of these group, it will be exciting to see how they will outcome the rest during the group stage. If you are still unsure which team to be your bidding one, don't worry, you still have roughly 6 months to go.

GROUP A

Group A will see host South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay and France fighting for top two places to Round 2.

Team's statistics

REACTIONS

I don't feel that this is the most difficult group; that is just speculation. Nobody knows how each team will be six months from now. All of our opponents are difficult, but none of them are out of our reach. The difficulty should motivate us even more to play a great World Cup.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez

All the groups seem balanced to me. It's never easy to play against the host country, but we’ll give it all we can. It will be our last match in the group (against South Africa) and we always know that players can raise their game in front of a great home crowd. We know Mexico well enough and Uruguay as well, because we played them recently in friendlies.

France coach Raymond Domenech

It’s a very exciting first game for us to take on the hosts. For us this is a great opportunity to show what we can do on the big stage. Uruguay and France are both very tough teams too, but we will do what we can to get ourselves out of the group. The styles in this group are very different and it will be a special blend of football.

Mexican coach Javier Aguirre

GROUP B

Group B will see Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea and Greece fighting for top two places to Round 2.

GROUP C

REACTIONS

USA are a good team. But Algeria and Slovenia are also tricky teams. Every opponent at a World Cup is going to be difficult. We’re playing the last two group games at sea level, so that’s going to be a different challenge as well. But I won’t be offering excuses. Every team will need to meet awkward opponents, play in difficult conditions and win matches to win the World Cup.

England coach Fabio Capello

It’s a very interesting group. We all know the English players, but we will need to do a little more research on Slovenia and Algeria. Bob Bradley (USA coach) is a very organized coach and we will need to focus our attention on our first game against England at this point. We have some injuries that we’ll need to overcome and we’ll need to come together as a team.

USA playmaker Landon Donovan

GROUP D

Group D will see Germany, Australia, Serbia and Ghana fighting for top two places to Round 2.

Match schedules

Team's statistics

REACTIONS

I'm not really happy with the group we've landed in. It’s a very strong section. Germany is one of the best teams in Europe and of course the favourite to take first place.

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac

It's an interesting group. We have to accept the challenge. It's important to win the first game against Australia. After that we will have to play with confidence against Ghana and Serbia.

Germany coach Joachim Loew

GROUP E

Group E will see Netherlands, Denmark, Japan and Cameroon fighting for top two places to Round 2.

GROUP F

Group F will see Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia fighting for top two places to Round 2.

REACTIONS

The moment you consider a group easy, every match becomes difficult. Paraguay led the South American qualifying group for a long time and Slovakia is a team that's growing up very quickly with some very strong players in some strong leagues.

Italy coach Marcello Lippi

GROUP G

Group G will see Brazil, Korea DPR, Cote d'Ivoire and Portugal fighting for top two places to Round 2.

Match schedules

Team's statistics

REACTIONS

This group will be very close. It is probably the most difficult of all the sections. But I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have challenges from the start. On the contrary, we will start more focused on this World Cup as a result of it.

GROUP H

Group H will see spain, Switzerland, Honduras and Chile fighting for top two places to Round 2.

MALAYSIA INTERNET SLOW LIKE HELL!!

The internet connection is a holy grail when we are talking about how fast the connectivity and surfing experience is. What is the use when you have an internet router service but you find it so frustrating when the speed you pay for is not even match in what you were told. 2Mbps as promised by the provider turned out in real life is only 2kbps. Frustrating? Yes indeed.

The faster the connection is, the more enjoyment in surfing the world wide web is, or the faster files travel across the user and recipients, or even the faster a file is downloaded. Well at least that is the stuffs we ever keep imagining that someday that will happen. In Malaysia however, we rarely enjoy a real "fast" internet connection. Call us the first world country with third world mentality and facilities.

Of course nevertheless, we have so much failed advertisements around us. Heartache but true, a slow internet connection can make a country less attractive. Foreign investors knew how dreadful our internet line is till they made this comment.

First we have the POTONG SAGA (not so related though)

Then we have the POTONG ads by P1

Now, you have the WHY POTONG ads by TMNet to counter the POTONG P1 Wimax ads

Regardless which site you are choosing, the losers are still you and the winners are still them. Why we are still listening to their crap when in the end of the day, they don't give you what they promised?

P1 Wimax has a higher speed than Streamyx but the connection is really unstable, so people said. Test running on P1 (I am writing this post while surfing Facebook, Tweet Deck and watching Zombieland online), I have to say that this is fairly stable. Probably P1 trying to lure me in by giving me a stable line. However according to the owner of the P1 set, things can be pretty ugly as well on time. The red lights on one of the LED indicator can be very annoying. When it is red, it is disconnected. Say I am lucky or what!? As far as I can see, the lights are still blipping blue.

TM Net unveiled their so called fastest ever, most coverage and most stable. Streamyx of course is nothing but a slow-speed yet fairly stable internet connection at least what people said. Test running on TM Net, I have to say it is as bad as you can imagine off. The line is actually fluctuate; in terms of speed or stability. When you download, it can get very frustrating because the ETA timer says 99 hours to go. The worst, the so called fast connection becomes slow due to bandwidth. In the end, you got no value.

In the nutshell, P1 Wimax may still have the edge over TM Net Streamyx. Claimed the fastest or what ever to poison our mind. The facts will remain the facts. When you have both, you do not actually have much choices to choose for.

According to the international web server testing site, SpeedTest.net placed Malaysia pathetically at number 87 for its download speed and disastrous number 79 in upload speed.

South Korea has the highest download speed in the world with 22.59 Mbps (average value of course), while Malaysia only has 1/11 of their speed. If downloading a movie file with 120 kbps is consider fast for us, try times 11 of that - 1.32 Mbps.

So, when they announced that the lucky Malaysian will get a "true" high speed broadband connection in the next 7 years, which will be monopoly by TM Net, you know they are just a bunch of cuckoos and greedy people.

Too bad that we as the Malaysian consumer can't have their complaint getting fixed. The reason when you dialed 100 and no one really cares about your complaints is relatively understandable. Who cares about you when they have already monopoly everything.

GOOD LUCK MALAYSIAN!!!

NEW POSTER FOR IRON MAN 2

Paramount Pictures is kind to present to you the first movie poster (official) for the upcoming Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2. But the surprise that I have talked about earlier is the image of War Machine posing behind Iron Man himself. So technically, War Machine is exposed! Don't believe? View the poster here...I mean now...

Jon Favreau mentioned on his twitter that we might be seeing the first trailer for Iron Man 2 attached to Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, which hits theaters on Christmas Day (24 December in Malaysia).

Slash Film has made several points on what we have know so far:

• Sam Rockwell plays a fast-talking weapons manufacturer named Justin Hammer,“who fancies himself the next Tony Stark”. He sells Stark the weapons he uses to construct War Machine.
• Mickey Rourke plays Russian criminal Vanko/Whiplash, who creates his own battle-suit while incarcerated in a Soviet prison.
• Whiplash’s suit “shoots devastating, whip-like beams.”
• Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take on Stark/Iron Man.
• Scarlett Johansson plays Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow), who is hired as Stark’s assistant which inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries.
• Tony is trying to learn more about his father’s mysterious past, specifically the Stark Expo, which must “play a major role in the energy crisis, which is a chief issue in the film.”

Iron man 2 is expected to amalgamate the theater on May 7, 2010. As usual, the beginning for the this summer's blockbuster season.
