21 Jump Street the Movie

What? I was shocked while checking out apple.com/trailers! After the immediate shock, I was hoping there would be Johnny Depp in it... a quick check at IMdB proved that he is in it... but only as a cameo. :( After going through the trailer, I was sort of disappointed... it's more like a comedy than the cool and sombre TV series. Check it out for yourselves here:

Cabs Driven by Women for Women

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Senator Datuk Heng Seai Kie (phew, what a mouthful!) launched the new initiative where designated female-driven cabs will be picking up ONLY women or women with children and senior citizens. This appears to come in time of increased crime rates and I would say a welcome move. This is a call-in service with three companies taking part: Destination Transport, Zalnas Sdn Bhd and Koperasi Pengangkutan Putrajaya dan Cyberjaya.

At the moment there are 50 women taxi drivers. Heng encouraged more women to take part, particularly single mothers, housewives and retirees. She expected at least 400 women taxi drivers in Klang Valley eventually. Interested parties could call 03-8024 0507, 03-2692 6000 and 03-88884020, though I'm not sure if these lines are for those interested in being taxi drivers or the numbers to book these special cabs.

Clouds above the Malaysian sky...

Was driving down South for a meeting yesterday and noticed that the clouds were rather interesting, so I took a photo with my HTC Desire mobile phone. After putting the photo through picplz's new editing features of cropping and rotating, here's the original:

If these clouds were in Russia*, they would look like this:

*assuming the Russian Toy Camera filter in picplz turns a photo Russian. ;)

The Unwelcome Guest

Ever so subtle, your host may drop a hint here and there when you have over spent your welcome...

Mission: Alfred Hitchcock Presents

I was a huge fan of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents series even when I was way too underage to watch these intense psychological thrillers. Today I was in the mood to look for the theme song in Youtube and here it is:

While I was at it, I saw the Mission: Impossible theme there as well, another series that I'm a huge fan of:

In The Cool Blue of Anger

Snapped this in Berjaya Times Square last night... cool, blue Smurfs sandwiched between Angry Birds:
