Louis Armstrong is Right

Just had grilled beef with kimchi at the neighbourhood Korean restaurant. While waiting for the food, I had a bottle of Heineken and some Japanese sake served by a delectable Filipino. She thought I might like to watch some old Wacko Jacko concert on the dvd. I didnt want to be rude, so I appeared Thriller.

While we go about our daily business, we get further entrenched into a cosmopolitan environment. Even the local monkey knows his kampachi from ikan terubuk.

Little amazes us these days. That is, until we meet a Chinese Mickey Mouse.

Its a sacrilege that individuality and intellectual properties can sometimes be forsaken for cultural and social integration.

* HK Disneyland is strange but I cant imagine Winter Wonderland in the tropics of Johor. Project still on ke? Or do we need to trade sand for snow now?

kinda strange isnt it? when you have Ronalds and Mickeys in different shades, you tend NOT to identify with any.

Screw Disneyland JB; if there's going to be a theme park I'd rather we use Mat Kool and the Paddle Pop Lion as mascots. It would be so much better than having an ah beng / jawa / macha-fied Mickey Mouse blaring over a mike: "Are you enjoy?"

We could call our theme park Bubble Gummer Land, and have that annoying 80s advert jingle of the same brand playing 24/7.

Howzat?
