My Personal Favorite...Social Media Items

As a WhatsApp (or any of its equivalent like WeChat, etc) User, I'm sure you would, like me. have literally thousands of images shared by your friends, family and colleagues via the app. For me, I would delete them as soon as I can. Rarely would I keep them in my phone unless they really made me laugh or think. 
Anyway, here are a few of them that I particularly like (and may have sent to you as well).

I had some of my friends who received these images from me asking me what's so funny about some of them.

OK, it's like this - if someone has to EXPLAIN a joke to you (only exception is if you're a kid), then it will no longer be funny!!!




This one is not from Whats App but is an actual screen display from an Auto Pay Machine somewhere in KL after my event. 
Here are some of the nice looking pens that I have collected over the years from various places. However, they have outlived their usefulness (ie: no more ink).. Hence, time to dispose of them.

Movie Review - Mindhunters


Movie: Mindhunters
Year: 2004
Genre: Crime, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller
What it was about (in > 75 words)
Placed on an isolated remote island by their trainer Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), a team of FBI psycho-profiling program trainees (Mindhunters) face an unexpected turn where there skills will determine who lives or dies because a killer is on the island with them.
Anything special/memorable?
It was definitely more violent and gory than what I expected. But if you can see beyond this point, it's actually quite enjoyable.
Similar to the Final Destination franchise, viewers just want to see in what creative ways will the next victim be killed.
Waste/worth the time?
I will definitely be watching this movie again sometime in the future. Altho' it's not among the best or most memorable of thrillers around but it was enough to keep me on the edge of my seat, wanting to see more despite it being fairly predictable to a degree.
By predictable I mean you know someone else is definitely dying next but you're not quite sure who. Also, you know whoever the survivor(s) will be, they will defeat the bad guy(s) by the end of the movie (or do they...?).
I give it a 6/10. What about you? What rating would you give it?

My Artwork

I found a few more of the stuff I did when I was in high school.

The Voyager was the ACS Ipoh's school magazine. This was one of the cover designs I submitted.



This was the piece (pencils only - before inks were added) that won me the 1st prize in the BDSB (Book Distributors Sdn Bhd) Art Contest in the late 80s.

You can find more of my artwork in my Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/jmloke/
