Entourage... Season 1

So we did it. Successfully accomplished Entourage Season 1. The drive to KL was good. The only time we got lost was while we were still in Singapore. Found Drama's place easy. And what a place! In a really nice looking neighborhood called Mont Kiara. Drama has outdone himself with his beautiful place and his "expat" connections!

Some highlights...

Drama - over a lazy brunch on Saturday morning talking about Kashmir's freedom struggle - "The choppers came and chased away the Kabalis"... and this was way back before choppers were invented in 1948!
E - "Shotgun shotgun shotgun".... sorry... you've got to see the car first.
Vinny - "Matlab?"
Ari - "I'm south asian... I have a danda. Not a nunu!"... I'm not about to check!!
Random Indonesian girl - "I'm bloody awesome Aussie mate".... ask Vinny!

Here's looking forward to Season2!

The Lives of Others

Watched an absolutely brilliant German movie over the weekend... winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film... Click here to check out the trailer.

Set in the early 80s in GDR (or East Germany), it's about how the government (otherwise known as a facist regime) prided itself on knowing everything. It hones down on this one surveillance specialist identified as HGW XX/7 who is employed by the Stasi (or state police) to expose an artist who is conisdered potentially subversive. The plot revolves around the life of the artist and how that influences this striaght-jacketed-oh-so-loyal-to-the-establishment man.

Yet another example of how socialism as a political system DOES NOT WORK. Loved the film though!
