Things to do in a lift

1) Bring a camera, and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
2) Move your desk into the elevator, and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
3) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play.
4) Leave a box in a corner, and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking.
5) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
6) Ask, “did you feel that?”
7) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
8) When the doors close, announce to the others, “It’s okay, don’t panic. They’ll open up again.”
9) Swat at flies that don’t exist.
10) Tell people that you can see their aura.
11) Call out, “GROUP HUG!” and enforce it.
12) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, “Shut up. All of you. Just Shut up!!!”
13) Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside, as “Got enough air in there?”
14) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
15) Stare at another passenger for awhile, then announce in horror, “You’re one of THEM,” and back away slowly.
16) Wear a puppet on your hand, and use it to talk to the other passengers.
17) Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.
18) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
19) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
20) Stare grinning at another passenger for awhile, then announce “I have new socks on.”
21) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk, and announce to the other passengers, “This is MY personal space!!”
22) When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn’t you.
23) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock.
24) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone, and ask if they know what floor you’re on.
25) Hold the doors open, and say that you’re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, “Hi Greg, how’s your day been?”
26) Drop a pen, and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, and then scream “That’s mine!”

15Malaysia - video 2

I have a mixed feeling about this one. Maybe because I was expecting so much more, considering it features Sharifah Amani, directed by the Allahyarham Yasmin and having Pete Teo in the credit role as well. It was slow-paced, and typical of Yasmin's work, it explored the nuances of multiracial Malaysia. Some my say that it may be harsh to comment of story development and character arch in a 3 minute feature, but if you look the 'Potong Saga', despite being just a minute longer, it did just that. Maybe the story will grow on me, I don't know. Enjoy;

15Malaysia - video 1

Finally managed to surf across the much touted 15malaysia program. It is a series of 15 short clips submitted to a website that will showcase them in time. The videos are currently being released every other day and I managed to catch the first three.

The first one was really funny. It is basically about a young Chinese guy who was keen to open an Islamic bank account. He was rather misinformed that he will have to undergo a certain ritual before he can do so. Have a look;

A Dose of Medical News #3.2.1 - Wii Injury in on the Rise

In the moments after I felt the pop in my left shoulder, the sensation I felt was not pain. It was panic. How exactly does a 40-year-old man explain to his wife that he might have torn his rotator cuff during a midnight game of Wii tennis?

Dr. Charles Young made me feel better without even examining me.

Late last year, Dr. Young, an orthopedic surgeon, spent about an hour experimenting with the balance games and strength-training exercises on his new Wii Fit. Running on a virtual trail. Slalom skiing. Walking on a tightrope. “They have this hula-hoop one where you’re supposed to spin yourself in a circle and try to get a high score,” said Dr. Young, who is completing a sports medicine fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. “I was really hurting.”

Call it Wii Shoulder. Or Wii Knee. If there is an epidemic of anything, it probably falls under a broader label: Nintendinitis.

You have got to see this!

Not to be missed! These guys are my hero, fulfilling my lifelong ambition, inspired by all the om and Jerry cartoons I have been watching over the years!
