U can't touch this.

This song is classic.




So classic.

Student Council Banner

And so i'm finished with the banner. Next week this thing will be hanging on taylors main block.

Sense

He's done it again.

If you all don't know what stop-motion pictures are, they're basically movies which are created by taking hundreds of photos just to create little movement. Just think: *snap*, *move object*, *snap*, *move object*, repeat about a hundred times more. Examples of movies done this way are such as, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas and Bob the Builder (btw, my dad's name is Bob). Anyway, my dear ol' buddy ol' pal Weiyan is evidently very free in his holidays now and has created these two videos. I think they're great. He's talented.



BBC stands for Balls, Brains and Camera.



You can see his blogs and more creations of his at his blog. He's in my links list.

Thank You For Smoking

"Nick Naylor doesn't hide the truth...he filters it."

Thank You For Smoking is a movie I watched sometime earlier this year, but have since watched it about twice more. If i ever did keep a list of Top 10 Greatest Movies Warren Has Ever Watched, this movie would probably fit somewhere in between of Lucky Number Slevin and Basic.

But enough dabbling and onto the movie.

The movie revolves around Nick Naylor, vice-president of the Academy of Tobacco Studies and lobbyist for all tobacco companies. For those of you who don't know what a lobbyist is, Mr. Nick is the guy who tells the public that tobacco ain't bad. He's the Sultan of Spin- he speaks and is good at it.

Nick Naylor
"You know the guy who can pick up any girl? I'm him... on crack."

The movie starts off with a basic introduction to Nick's life. Most interstingly of which is his fellow lobbyist friends- the lobbyist for alcoholic beverages and the lobbyist for firearms- collectively known as the Merchants of Death.

The Merchants of Death

The basic storyline is that there is a senator who is going against cigarettes and there is a reporter doing a story on him. He has to deal with both.

The Senator (William Macy from Wild Hogs)

The Reporter (Katie Holmes from Tom Cruise)

And as for the rest of the story it is generally riddled with business errands such as making cigarette movie deals and gagging the former Marlboro Man, each errand showing another aspect to his job of spinning the truth and never being wrong.

The Movie People (Some guy from Somewhere and Adam Brody from The O.C.)

All in all though, I just enjoy this movie because of wit.

Wit rocks.
TEH W1+ PWNS!!!!!!!11

Senator: Doesn't the fact that your foundation is funded by tobacco companies influence your priorities?
Nick: Nope. Just as I hope campaign contributions don't influence your priorities.

Damn

We fired our maid yesterday because we caught her with a handphone. My mum took the handphone and inside were all sorts of 'cinta/sayang' msges and calls. So we figured that she's prolly being lured and tricked by some Indon arse and one day he and his gang will break-in and rob us. To make matters worse, in the phone were pics of her with our clothing on. We actually would have let her stay on though, that is if she had not locked herself in her room and refused to do any work.

In any case, that was yesterday. I've been doing housework since then and one of my tasks today was to clean up her room, damn. For being the cleaner of the house her room was the dirtiest of them all. The floor was dusty and there was some sticky liquid stuff on the floor and it was like little black crap balls. I also found a food container with spoons (yea she steals our chocolates) and many other of my sister's accessories she had taken for herself.

But the worst of all.

Hidden under her bed-side tabletop cloth was a scanned IC of me that I had thrown away.

Wtf.

About a month ago I slipped a complaint form into the Taylor's suggestion box, and to my surprise I received a response when I checked my mail the very night I slipped in the complaint.
Perhaps M'sian customer service ain't that bad after all and Taylor's ain't as money-blood-sucking as I had thought. Although at some points i felt like I was being replied by a computer (especially when I was told "Thanks again for your patient.").

Dear Warren,

After the necessary action being taken by our Physical Resources team, the room temperature at the classrooms is still not satisfactory.

We have engaged a contractor to carry out the necessary maintenance on this Saturday. We will update you with more information next week.

Thanks again for your patient.

Dear Mr Thian,



Thanks for the prompt reply.



No I am not referring to any classroom in specific. For the old classrooms, I currently have classes in 2.2, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.8. I find those classes in general to be hot, mostly during the afternoon periods. In the morning the classrooms are cool enough for study.



So as for now, the conclusion is that 2.2, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.8 are hot during the afternoon periods.



However, now that you have further enquired, I will note which of the classes are specifically hot and at what periods. I shall try my best to reply you by next Wednesday (16/5) as I will start taking note from tomorrow.



On another note, I would like to say that I have so far never felt discomfort in terms of air-conditioning for my classes in the new block. Praise to Taylor's for that.





Regards,

Warren Chan

Sad Famous Photo

"The photo is the Pulitzer Prize winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan Famine.

The picture depicts stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat him. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who
left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression."

Taken from here.

Radio Robbed

On the 26th of April, a Thursday morning, I lazily walked to my car for yet another day of college. But lo and behold, when I went to my driving seat i realised that there were glass shards on the seat. My eyes then bounced off the glass shards to notice that my entire radio had been (very barbarically, mind you) ripped out and my glove compartment was open and my SmartTag was gone. I then quickly rushed over to my front passengers seat window to face this sad sight.




This event happened right in front of my house the night before. Our garage doesn't have enough space for 4 cars, so as a result, my car the unlucky 4th, is left right outside.



I guess what's strange is that none of us heard the car alarm sound. The other pity of the whole event is that my car was parked on the left side of the house's front gate and thus the CCTV on the right didn't catch anything at all.



Fortunately, despite that they had opened the glove apartment and had obviously ruffled through its contents, they had not stolen anything else.



Unfortunately, the day of the event was the day I was leaving with Rotarian Pua to go for the Golden Child Project. The Golden Child Project is a yearly event sponsored and organised by the Rotary Club of PJ where approx 30 terminally ill children are taken to a holiday destination in Malaysia for 3 days and 2 nights, this time it was Genting.

On another note, there's this new cancer ad on Astro where there's a young kid walking around an empty stadium. Her name's Amiza and she was one of the terminally kids we brought to Genting. The toy Koala she is holding is from the Golden Child Project and it is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Surfers' Paradise. Everytime i see that ad now i feel slightly saddened since i know her personally, but at the same time i feel somewhat happy that i have helped her in some way through the project.

Imagine being 6 and knowing that you might never reach 7.
And here I am complaining about my stolen radio.
