7 Seconds

A couple of nights ago, I watched 7 seconds starring Wesley Snipes. My cousins thought it was pretty good and gave me the movie to check it out.

I’m a fan of heist movies, and this movie kicked off with one. Anyway, even though the idea of how the heist was to be done was good, I personally think it could have been shot better.
Still, I think that remains the highest point in this movie. After that, it just goes downwards and slower.

The movie starts off good and then at some point it just loses it and gets boring.
It feels more like a pointless B movie.

Not really my cup of tea.

My rating for this is movie is: 4/10.

Wall Of Breasts

Wendy Rameckers, a Dutch designer, has created a wall of fake breasts to help male shoppers buy bras that fit their wives or girlfriends.

“Most men have a selective memory,” she explained. “They know all about their car, but never seem to know their wife’s bra size.

“When trying to buy a sexy bra for their wife or girlfriend, usually they point to other women in the shop or, when asked about size, they say a ‘handful’.”

The wall consists of rows of silicon breasts in all sizes. By look and touch, male shoppers can work out the right size, she says.

Interesting concept…
What this designer doesn’t know though is that this shop is some men’s idea of heaven…

Sami Yusuf – Hasbi Rabbi

Today while flipping through Arab satellite music channels I came across Sami Yusuf’s video for his new song “Hasbi Rabbi”.

The song is so beautiful, the music, the lyrics, Sami’s voice, the video, all of it…

The lyrics are in 4 languages: English, Turkish, Hindi and Arabic; The melody is from the Afghani folklore; and the video is shot in England, Turkey, India and Egypt.
Hindi lyrics are by Ustadh Mehboob, Turkish lyrics by Ustadh Firooz, and Arabic & English lyrics by Bara Kherigi.

It’s one of Sami’s best songs, and I can’t wait to hear it again and to get his new album “My Ummah”.

To listen to an audio sample of the song, click here: Hasbi Rabbi.

Bored?

Bored out of your mind?
Think you have absolutely nothing to do?
Here’s a list of things you can do when you feel that bored…

My favourites are:
– Use your secret mind power
– Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
– Push your eyes for interesting light show
– Step off a curb with eyes shut, imagine it’s a cliff

Read the rest here.

Disconnecting for a couple of days…

I’ll be disconnecting from everyday life and getting out of the city for a couple of days to get rid of some stress, just relax, contemplate life and do some sight-seeing.

I won’t be posting anything until I’m back, so if you’re interested you can hit the archives and check out some of my older posts.

Hopefully I’ll be back with a bunch of photos, that I’ll share with you all of course.

Till then; Take care and have fun…

Prince Charles to plead Islam’s cause to US

The Prince of Wales will try to persuade George W Bush and Americans of the merits of Islam this week because he thinks the United States has been too intolerant of the religion since September 11.

The Prince, who is on an eight-day tour of the US, has voiced private concerns over America’s “confrontational” approach to Muslim countries and its failure to appreciate Islam’s strengths.

It is understood that Prince Charles did not – and does not – believe that the actions of 19 hijackers should tarnish the reputation of hundreds of millions of law-abiding Muslims around the world.
