The Man II

A fellow blogger (if I may use the term 'blogger') has just landed a job in London. Congratulations Miss Nurul Azreen! Yes, London where Fleet St is, where..

"There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabits it
and its moral aren’t worth what a pig can spit
and it goes by the name of ~London"

Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet St: Now showing in cinemas near you!


A little advertisement won't hurt, plus it's a good movie anyway ~you should see it.

Going right back on track...in her latest post where she shared the good news of her landing a job, she mentioned 'the drill' which, in her own words, is described as:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Finish-high-school-go-to-uni-finish-uni-go-to-work-witness-the-slow- painful-death-of-your-idealism-then-slowly-rot-at-work-get-married- have-2.4-kids-buy-a-car-and-a-house-in-the-suburbs-and-then-it's-a-matter-of- keeping-up-with-the-joneses!

---------------------------------------------------------------

This, friends, in my opinion, is what life is according to The Man.

True, eventually we will all have to cooperate with The Man, that's life. But please, don't succumb completely to The Man, lest you'll become one of those trapped in the drill above.

Kalau Melayu Minimalis katanya menjadi A.A.y.D.d.K.B.G.A.B.

Cheers, have a good weekend!

boleh je, hehe.

i love sweeney todd as well. i would kill to get a studio flat like his in london.

johnny depp's career started to shoot up after he started wearing eye liner. maybe i should too.

akhir kata, bak kata sweeney todd, 'there's no place like london.'
