Transformers 3

Hopefully the final ever Micheal Bay Transformers movie. (Just in case someone else makes a more proper Transformers movie in the far future.)

I watched it earlier this month with my brothers. We all decided to watch it just for the sake of watching, we did not expect it to be good. Especially since the previous one was really, really bad.

The movie was good overall... Until I read this one review which made me realise several gigantic plotholes. So if you plan to watch it, don't expect much logic, good story or references to the previous movies.

My colleagues at my current workplace have already watched it before and some took MCs the day after watching it. After watching it myself, I can understand why.

The final action scenes are VERY long. And tiring. I think I felt the same way about the final action scenes in Inception, where one action scene felt too long and I'm just waiting for the next thing to happen (That gun fight in the snow place. We just wanna see the guy get to the girl or the vault or something. Forgot the story already.). In Transformers 3, the scenes were about people falling out of a building that's being attacked by a giant robot worm, and some other scenes that involved humans being attacked by the Decepticons. Come to think of it, I was probably bothered by the lack of action that actually involved the Autobots.

At least I didn't have as much to complain about it as I did the second movie. Also, I think this third movie is successful in achieving the main objective of any Transformers show: To sell toys. It looked like the movie had enough Transformer participation for anyone to want its merchandise, both for themselves and their children.

Frozen Squirrels

Last night I dreamt of that I was back living in the bungalow house in Bangsar. That day, animals were strangely 'petrified'. I remember seeing a squirrel hanging on to an edge of a plank, unmoving. There might have been other animals, probably more squirrels. I also remember thinking that these things won't make good yard decorations.

Eventually, we found the real culprit: A snake. Or better known as the Basilisk from Harry Potter. But its size was about maybe 30 cm in diameter, and maybe a bit over 1m in length. It looked quite fat. We found it in a drain, it didn't petrify anyone. In the end, it ran away. Then I woke up.

Malay Sex Education

is non-existent.

I recently got married. Processes included:
Muslim Wedding course
HIV test
Nikah ceremony (Paper signing)
Walimatul urus party x2

Mentions/Hintings of Sex: Only during the Wedding Course. And it's extremely vague.

I'm curious. Where DO Malays learn about sex besides Bab 3 of Sains Tingkatan 3? Sorry, I'll be more specific; Where are Malays SUPPOSED to learn about sex besides Bab 3 of Sains Tingkatan 3?

I heard of a deep conspiracy theory once about how the Illuminati, Knights Templar or Nostradamus or the Jews or whatever are the ones influencing the world to have pre-marital sex, gay marriages and other social-twisting stuff. Sarcastically, I would like to say that I believe that the people behind Malaysia's Education System is responsible for porn distribution in the country. It is the ONLY way for Malays to know how to reproduce.
