The Moon Walker fell... and a large part of awesome 80s dies with him

Unless you are living under a rock for the past 20 years chances are you know who is Michael Jackson, The King of Pop. To a lot of people who grew up in the 80s he was a huge icon in the seemingly better days of the 1980s... when grim news does not always reach your door, the world seemed fine and Megatron was still transforming into a gun.

The legend's demise seems to in a way signifies the last ditch of 80s like days are long gone for good... as we are now stuck in an age when grim news travel at lightning speed across the global, environmental concern is a huge issue and Megatron now transforms into a god-knows-what-it-is alien space craft.

Wait a second... say that again?

As the events unfold themselves and things got worse by the days this statement from the said authority concerned hit the news front. Let us just hope talks like this does not inspire any other similar regime world wide...

Hazy Situation

For those of you wondering what's going on here, it's a dead giveaway if you've been reading BrickTech as well, especially the We Didn't Plan This post. Ironically, the hazy images taken from the faithful 3-year old digital camera is a mirror reminder of our 2009 Malaysian haze seasonal problem, which is becoming more and more of an annual event Malaysians dread.

Hopefully we can get a new camera soon, but the bet is on that the haze will still linger around long after things have cleared off here.

Coming up next on BrickTech, we'll show you how even computers are smart enough to know it's hazy out there - and even tell you the real heat feeling.

Big ride with babes, for real

Our young friend smiled at the prospect of an exciting life ahead of him... little did he know what lies in wait for him in future. It is of little doubt most of us yearn for a good living but life seldom goes the way we want it, in the mean time we should all rely more on concrete actions.

Price tag of $300 million and in use for 1 year, the warranty still valid?

Part of the roof of the RM300mil costing Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong collapsed yesterday just a year after it was opened.

Most will agree there are much better ways to spend RM300mil, heck, even just by handing them out might prove to benefit the country more. Good thing the say it is still under warranty but we will see.

Always at Stake

A meteor, another ice age, an outbreak, the press of a button... anyone who watch enough discovery channel will realise it didn't take much to potentially wipe us so call dominant species from the surface of the planet.

On the flip side we could be colonizing Mars in the next couple of hundred years if the dice rolls are good. Either way it is quite a waste to live a boring life in times like this.

Hungry Dogs and tall grasses kept me from performing my parliamentary duties

In conjunction with the latest British drama.

Recently in UK "shit hit the ceiling fan" after a newspaper obtained copies of all the receipts for MPs expenses and published them. It basically showed how the system has been milked, with MPs claiming that expenditure everything from bath plugs and lawn mowers, silk cushions and television sets, potted plants and dog food. The most outrages of the practice seems being abusing the second home programme... basically buying a house with tax payer money and incentives and selling it at higher price, rinse and repeat. :)

These expenses was supposedly "wholly and necessarily incurred for the purpose of performing their parliamentary duties." The House speaker has just resigned in the light of this.
