Ray-ruto vs Sam-ruto

Note : you must be a Naruto fan, or know at least a little of the Naruto anime, to be able to understand what is going on...

I'm not sure whether it's the fact that tomorrow is a public holiday, or that Ray had an overdose of medication during his last four days of MC. We were working quietly in our office when suddenly he turned to Sam, showing him the Sharingan eyes, drawn and coloured out of paper which he had stuck to the front of his spectacles.

Immediately, Sam's boisterous laughter rang out and echoed throughout the whole room... and as usual, the few other staff in the room continued with their work, either already used to our rowdiness, which usually happens after lunch, or were silently cursing us for ruining their quiet afternoon to work.

Anyway, Sam, after seeing Ray's Sharingan, obviously refused to admit defeat. He immediately got to work and in less than 5 minutes, had drawn a mouth with a tongue sticking out and stuck it onto the palm of his hand. (Ok, I admit I don't know what is that and that my knowledge of Naruto is not that fantastic, but I'm planning to pick up from where I stopped, almost a year ago.)

Then it was the point of no return from then on.

Ray being Ray, and Sam being Sam, the two hardcore Naruto fans, began to show off their knowledge about the different techniques and abilities (together with hand signs for some) from the anime. The two started searching for the other techniques to use on each other, and at one point of time, even turned around to find each other trying to see what the other was looking for on the computer screen.

Then papers with weird symbols drawn, of different shapes, sizes and colours, were cut out and pasted on various body parts in the bid to outdo each other, of course, at the same time, the two of them were shooting off japanese words (which are the types of techniques and abilities) like they had spoken the language all their lives. Gaara, Kakashi, Sasuke and Rock Lee also "dropped by" for a quick visit.

Suddenly, it occurred to me. Could this be what I would be getting if my parents gave me two younger brothers instead of two younger sisters? Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, X-Men, One Piece, Naruto... the list is endless...

To the cinema : Wild Hogs


Do not expect any hunky cool heroes, sexy clever heroine, heart-stopping actions or gooey love story. This is about 4 middle-aged men, friends since high school, with completely different personalities, calling themselves the "Wild Hogs", deciding to go on a road trip on their Harleys, to escape from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities.

A comedy... a fun show to watch with friends, to de-stress and laugh it off after a day's work. Not much can be revealed here without giving the plot away, coz after a while, you will know what is coming next, and how the story will end. Nothing really unexpected... except seeing 57-year-old William Macy's completely naked butt, probably.
