It's Krrunch Time, Get Playful!
Friday, October 2. 2009
Sometimes being a student can be really tough, and boring...
especially if you have to read something like this! Even the title takes five minutes to understand
It may not always be Krrunch, but don't give up!
Some tasty snacks can help you to keep on going... but they can run out too...
but surprises can happen...
never run away from the unknown...
fortune favours those who dare!
Find new ways to learn
Learning can always be Krrunch! If you use your imagination
Many thanks to WW for the creative support, and Kavi for photography

Star Trek with AMBP!
Sunday, April 19. 2009
A little known fact about Star Trek is that it was the first series to have an onscreen interracial kiss in 1968 (first in America anyway – though there’s some debate about the whole thing).
Of course, Star Trek is better known for being a science fiction series, with enthusiastic fans known as ‘Trekkies’ or ‘Trekkers’ who have spawned an impressive subculture. One minor 'celebrity’ Trekkie is Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, who was jilted by Mrs Krabappel at a Klingon wedding ceremony
In that episode, some of the characters speak in Klingon, the language of the alien race that usually tries to blow up the Starship Enterprise. Surprisingly, it’s a recognised language which you can learn at The Klingon Language Institute (seriously!)
As an example, here’s a powerful insult in Klingon
It means – “Your mother has a smooth forehead!” Go here to see some more and to hear some Klingon.
In case you’re wondering where my sudden interest in Star Trek comes from – check out the AllMalaysian Bloggers site. There’s going to be a bloggers’ gathering on the 1st May, and they will be showing the Premiere of the new Star Trek movie , which is being produced by J.J. Abrams, who also did Lost and Alias. It’s “A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members” (IMDB) and is being touted as a ‘new direction’ in Star Trek movies; so far it has 8.5/10 in IMDB, so it could be good!
See you there - I hope!
** OK I know that this phrase was: 1) Not used in that episode of the Simpsons ("My Big Fat Geek Wedding"), but was in "The Worst Episode Ever"; 2) Comic Book Guy obviously cannot speak Klingon as the closest proper phrase would be " 'jImobqu' (pronounced jhi-mobe-koo), which means 'I'm so alone!'" (The Simpsons Archive). I just thought it would be fun like this.

Batman haiku
Tuesday, July 15. 2008
Well, I tried out Suanie's Batman haiku contest, but wasn't good enough apparently > hmpf < 
Well, I wasn't surprised really, as it's kind of obscure I think (my haiku that is).
Anyway, the contest was to do a haiku (poem with three lines - five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables) on anything to do with Batman. So after racking my brains for hours and hours (minus a few hours), and with the fame-multiplier effect of Heath Ledger's death in mind, I came up with this:
What do you think?
...
On another note, it seems that the 'Heath Ledger Online Community' haven't given up on him yet! They still have a "Contact Heath" link with some addresses, and say
Maybe they know something we don't? A sequel perhaps?

The dark night returns
And brings a joke or, is it?
A metaphor, think.

If you have gotten a reply, or if the address you used does not work (i.e. your package is returned to you as "return to sender") please let us know (heathledger.net)
