Marge... Where's my Remote? I've been kidnapped!!

First, Aput put this one up over here... then, it occurred to me that article will be archived soon. So, why don't I just mirror it? LOL!!

Where's Homer?

Put me DOWN!!

Excerpt from the article:

PETALING JAYA: A reward of RM1,000 has been offered for the "safe" return of the life-sized statue of Homer Simpson, which was stolen on Monday.
The reward is offered by movie studio Twentieth Century Fox, which is scheduled to release The Simpsons movie in Malaysia next month.
The statue was stolen from the Golden Screen Cinemas at the 1 Utama Shopping Complex here at 3am.
The theft was recorded on closed-circuit television cameras.
Motion Picture Association country manager Nor Hayati Yahaya appealed for the return of Homer, saying that the Simpsons family was due to be displayed at Malaysia Consumers Day 2007 next month.
"There is an estimated five million Simpsons fans in Malaysia," she said.
The statue was stolen after the late night movie screening ended about 3am.
The 1.2-metre tall Homer statue was placed alongside other Simpsons statues at a display couch.
CCTV images provided by the shopping complex show two men carrying Homer out of the building. Another TV grab shows the statue in the boot of a Proton Waja.
Two police reports were lodged over the incident.
District police chief ACP Mazlan Mansor confirmed the reports. He said investigations were under way to track down the culprits.

This is just HILARIOUS!! Obsessed fans have to take it to the next level... I wonder where they'd probably place Homer then? At the edge of their lawn? Place it on a bench like Ronald McDonald? On their couch in front of the TV? Or perhaps at a security post in some buildings as a dummy decoy when the guard is on patrol...

If I were to do it, I'll need to figure out where to place it... but nahhhh... my place is too small to waste on such item. I'll pass.. Further more... the reward is just RM1000?? In this day and age, with the amount of daily expenses and bills considered, it's not too motivating enough even to make an effort to hunt for Homer... Maybe we can track Homer down during the next Ramadhan... we sure can use some extra cash then... hehehehhe...

Vox Hunt: Big Screen, Small Budget

Video: Share your favourite small-budget movie of all time.
Submitted by ciathegreat.

Thanks to Rehot for introducing this. Even though it is a spoof of a feature film so-called blockbuster gone flop (poppy), the clip really cracks me up every time I see it. I have to warn you, the language used is the local Sarawakian language.. At first, I really had a tough time to understand what they're trying to say.

For my international viewers, just concentrate on the sound effects instead.

Without further ado, here it is...

Expression Series : Warga Emas

Tok Ba

Tok Cik

Actually, I want to bring out the facial expressions rather than the bokeh factor of it. It may not be as par as the coolness serenity of what Nikon series can produce as these were taken using a Powershot G3. There is a bit of a noise factor here and there.

Introducing... my grandma and grandpa... actually my grandma and grandpa sedara jer. Both shots were taken while they were in their 'casual' mode sans flash. Normally, when someone aims a camera at them, they'll just look into the lens and 'freeze' themselves. Now we don't want to have a serious and stiffness look in every pix, do we?

What are your top 10 most-played songs currently?

Currently, I don't have anything specific to be regarded as my Current Top 10 list, but here's an idea of what tunes I'm listening to lately.

Either that, or just listen to my radio, then...

Rays of Indulgence

It seems like it has been a while since I upload some 'decent' pix. Well, actually for this one, I accidentally got the opportunity to play around with a digicam and accidentally took these kind of snapshots... Hahaha.. how's that for a handicapped photog... LOL!!
