Heheh , Benghan didn’t want to publish this blog entry because it’s too disgusting. Well, since my blog is hosted in hell, I’ll post it here!
On Tuesday, I had a type 4. Which consisted of Banana Leaf Rice from the previous day. The smell was horrendous, even with my incapacitated sense of smell in the morning.
What’s your stool type today ?
Based on the 1985 german book, Perfume: the story of a murderer revolves around Jean-Baptiste Grenouille and his quest to find the perfect scent. As you would imagine, he would stop at nothing to aquire it.
The opening scenes will set the tone for the rest of the movie. Born in a fish market under the table by his mother, Jean is left for dead with the rotting carcasses of fishes. Seems that his mother has done this before, as she routinely cuts the umbillical cord and kicks the baby away!
Instead of dying in the midst of rotting fishes, maggot infested meat and slaughtered pigs, Jean Baptiste lets out a cry. The cry that leads his mother to the gallows.
The rest of the movie chronicles Jean-Baptistes life as he attempts to learn more about the art of perfuming and his motivations behind it. It explores themes such as obsession, immortality, loneliness and the thin line between genius and madness.
I found the movie a little overlong (2 hours and 10 minutes), and it loses a little of it’s steam somewhere in the middle. However, the payoff at the end is literally quite jaw dropping.
I’d definitely recommend this film, if you are into unsettling yourself and going “oh shit, did I just see that?”
ps: Stephanie watched this film in the cinema here in Malaysia and they didn’t censor anything ! There is a lot of nudity involved and it’s quite the key element in this film. Wow, has our censorship board finally grew up ?
I’ve been using blogflux mapstats for a while. It tracks visitor statistics and integrates with google maps to provide geographical information. It’s more than just a simple stat tracker. Check this out for example:

Geographical information for last week
Of course, most of the readers would be from Malaysia, my home country. But lets look at the international links, shall we ?
From the map, I can roughly guess who are these people. I can’t be too sure because they only show the IP addresses. I’m guessing:
Perhaps , the most puzzling one of all would be this one from the UK:

Google search for “lesbian pub in KL” came to my blog
I’m so sorry, visitor from Glassgow City, UK. I can’t tell you where lesbian pubs in KL are. Google must have been confused because I have blog posts about lesbian authors, a pub and I am from KL.
Any of you guys know of any lesbian pubs in KL ? I will blog about it here so the next time someone comes from Google with that query, he/she wouldn’t be so dissapointed.
Ain’t map stats fun ?
