This makes the competition more interesting and all the crews taking part have to fulfill the expectations of the judges. The crews have to go all out and expand on their creativity, technique, showmanship and other criteria in getting those marks from the judges.

Oh Angelina …….
Angelina Jolie is a big star with box full of film under her belt, a handsome husband and bunch of kids in tow. My first introduction to her was from a film called Hackers. That was back in the 90’s a movie revolved around high school students whom are immerse in the subculture of computer hacking but for me I awe struck on the hot girl with boyish haircut in that film.
From there I had this huge fascination about her and I knew from there onwards she will be a big star. She was totally hot and weird at the sometime that aura of mystery was she crazy or she needed some loving in her life. I did my own web surfing and soaking up any news about this actress. It must be those lips of hers, they are so juicy and natural.
As we fastforward to now, she did become big and famous went through slew of men before ending up with Brad ( You Lucky Man !) Plus a boat load of children in tow.I do love her action movies not to keen on her more dramatic roles don’t get me wrong she is good actress. I prefer in a sexy vixen type roles.
I don’t know how she manage to take care all those kids maybe she has a army of nannies standing by while she works. With her own kids plus her adopted kids she still look stunning. She will be one those actresses that still be hot when in their golden years.As for me I married to my college sweetheart and a cute little girl in tow. Worked in the entertainment industry and now pursuing my masters. Once an awhile I put in the Hackers DVD and take me back to my college days when I first fell in love to girl named Angelina.

Skateboarding again.
Maybe it was a midlife crisis or just purely spur moment purchase maybe I was not thinking straight. I have not skated since my college days on my popsicle shaped deck from beer city skateboards.
While I was working with Revolution Skateboarding Magazine , it never occurred to me to skate. Maybe because I felt intimidated with the super skilled skaters whom were the backboned of the company back then.
Even though I didn’t skate anymore but kept my ears to the ground on the latest going on in the skateboarding world locally and aboard. I went to almost all the X games held in Malaysia except one held in bukit Jalil. It was great to see Pa’din going to US for the Xgames. The skatebording have come full circle almost we have our own skate brands, fully owned skate shop, we have Mont Kiara, Putra Jaya, Shah Alam , Pinang and many more fabulous skateboarding facilities. I see more kid skateboarding then before.
Started reading Concrete Wave and saw their TV program on 8TV. Got me yearning to skate again but I was scared, was I to old for this type sport? Concrete Wave showed me that, I’m not the only one going thru this, there are more people my age whom just beginning skate for the first time or old veteran coming back after years of not skating and having a blast. Concrete wave to me is a all rounded magazine showing all the sub categories from street, pool, downhill's and more. Got me itching to skate again or just cruising around would be fun. So I made the plunge and bought myself old school pool deck made by Cliché a French Skateboard Company.
Been riding it in the car park basement of my condo late at night learning to gain my confidence on the board again. I yearn to go to the Shah Alam skate park to try the pool there but have not have time yet may be soon I’ make the plunge. At the moment I happy cruising on my board in the basement of my condo.
* Would like to thank Adwin formally of Push Skateboard shop for the advice on the setup of my deck *
