Alvin and the Chipmunks..

remember the good old days when you wake up on a saturday morning all prepared to watch you favourite cartoons.. I mean there were wacky races, looney tunes, batman n so on.. 1 notable cartoon was also Alvin and the Chipmunks. Alvin was the red sweats wearing 1. he had the attitude. Simon was the smart 1 of the bunch. He wore blue. Theodore is the youngest and he eats most of the time. He was the green 1. Together, this chipmunks had a band. Now,a life action movie is being made n the trailer is out. Of course, the chipmunks are CGI but its still interesting to watch nevertheless :)

My boredom game..

I have not been a fan of flash games especially those that require button mashing. you know like the para para dance machine thing on the Playstation or the PC for that matter. However, about a month ago, i was bored enough to go to miniclip.com and whilst i was browsing through the list of games,i came across this game called Up Beat. This game had all the characteristics of a the earlier genre of games. The colour, the fast beat music, the timing in which the buttons are suppose to be pressed and even the combo collecting. Surprisingly, i found the game rather likeable. I mean suer i have played games with 3D rendered graphics and amazing surround quality sound but this game was simple enough to play when one is bored. Its reminiscent of the good old Pac Man games. You just guide the dude's movement without having to worry how much ammo left or puzzles to solve..

my 2nd update.. :)

I have wrote about Brazil's progress in Copa America in the past weeks. I stopped right about the time where they finished the group stages. Brazil then progressed to the finals in which they beat Argentina 3-0. This is tremendous win in my eyes considering Brazil just scraped through to the finals on penalties in the semi-final stage against Uruguay whereas Argentina recorded a very convincing victory against Mexico at the same stage. The Argentinians were hot favourites to win the Copa America this time based on their performance on the way to the final, displaying the fluency and flair of a truly strong team. Unfortunately, Brazil whom managed to beat the jinx of penalties, went on to win the final. You see, usually when a team qualifies to the next round on penalties won't really win it. I don't really know the cause but fatigue and mental tiredness might be most possible for this problem. In the Copa America final, the brazillian team which comprised of mostly players whom have only played a few times together manage to get the right team chemistry at the right time. With players like Juan, Julio Baptista, Daniel Alves and Robinho playing the game of their lives, it was all set and done after the 2nd goal itself (even though,it was an own goal by Ayala). Im truly happy about the win and being defending champions and beating Argies twice in a row in the same competition makes all the more sweeter :D


Julio Baptista celebrates after scoring the first goal which begs the question,
"why run?" ;)

My update..

I realize that it has been a long time since i last updated this blog, for almost two weeks now.. I have been a little pre-occupied with the entire job - hunting and also with the fact that my "significant other" (dun say anything kashvini) came back for holidays after 11 months. I dun want to disclose any information about her as of this moment but it will come in the near future. While writing the past sentences,i also realized that i haven't really made a proper introduction of myself..

My name is Sasitaran Vasu. I am called Sasi. Im 24 this year and currently looking for a job after completing my degree program from University of Malaya. Frankly speaking this is the part where i really get confused during an interview. They always start off with describe yourself. I mean with so many things to say, you truly get lost with what u suppose to say and what you are suppose to omit out. I mean sure,i wouldn't be telling them personal details like what I ate in the morning n so on but after you say your name,age,education,brief family description and some of your interests which might be relevant to the job, what would be left to explain??
I used to get nervous when i go to interview but a wise senior of mine once said that " when you go to an interview, you got nothing to lose. You either get the job or you don't "
In more ways then 1, that sentence is very true. Shit happens but you don't waste time staring at it. You just move along or at least clear it up :P

What is 01-18-08 ?

A teaser trailer of a movie which is only known as "01-18-08" was recently released in the United States. This teaser was aired before Transformers was shown over there. Almost instantaneously, the trailer was one of the most talked about topic over the internet. It was drawing heavy searches based on the movie title and also its producer J.J. Abrams from Alias and Lost fame. I just watched the teaser and it seems interesting enough to get your attention, even though a specific special effect detail seemed a little fake.With all the mystery surrounding the movie,considering no story or details has been released,this movie is definitely something to watch out for.



This is the only image released and it doesn't really help much :)

My two cents on Carlos Tevez loaned to Man U..

Recently,headlines were spreading about an apparent loan deal for Carlos Tevez to Manchester United. Earlier, it was reported that the player was on the "to-be-bought" list of Manchester United but because of the on-going problem regarding the ownership of the Argentian player still in the courts, the Premiership announced that it will intervene any move made to buy the player. To avoid this problem. Manchester United are preparing to take Carlos Tevez on loan, just like his compatriot, Javier Mascherano's move to Liverpool late last season. Now, Carlos Tevez is undoubtedly talented and skilled with the ball. This has made most Manchester United fans rejoice on the prospect of Tevez leading the attack on the coming season's matches. BUT AM I THE ONLY ONE,WHO REMEMBERS MANCHESTER UNITED'S LUCK WITH SOUTH AMERICAN PLAYERS.Remember Juan Sebastian Veron, Diego Forlan and even Kleberson. These players never made a real impact with the team although, they were successful with other teams in mainly other leagues. Diego Forlan became the top scorer in La Liga the season he was sold to Villareal CF. Sure, Carlos Tevez had almost a season of experience in the premiership with West Ham United but will he really fit with the Manchester United style of play. With purchase of Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson, the team does look like its opting more for flair and attack minded football. The team even played attractive football last season which is partially due to Cristiano Ronaldo but will this style of play continue and will it actually give them the same success as they have had in the previous year. Whether Carlos Tevez will make an impact with Manchester United is still a big question but I really wouldn't hold my breath :)

My view on Brazil FC

As most of you would probably know by now,Copa America is going on right now in Venezuela. Being Brazil Fan, I have been keeping myself updated with their progress.

The Seleção has progressed to the quarter finals with a 1-0 win against Ecuador today morning. Brazil qualify for the next round as the 2nd placed team in group B with a total of 6 points,1 behind group winners Mexico. The defending champions were lacking their main stars like Ronaldinho and Kaka. With the both of them missing the squad, it seems more like the pressure has been put onto Robinho's shoulders. I still don't understand why Dunga is not using players like Cicinho,Juninho and Edmilson. These players have the quality to go and help the team retain the cup. The team seem to lack in the finishing department in front of the goal. The defense at times have been exposed to gaps and this proves to be great setback. At the time of this post, the Argies (which as much as i hate to admit) look more likely to be the favourites to lift the cup. I still have faith in Brazil to overturn their luck and form in the quarter finals. Coach Dunga has been promised the post till the next world cup so,it doesn't seem he is that pressured. Even so,the Brazil press and fans are always expecting the team to deliver so their performance here could be very important.
All in all,let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.


Robinho and Dunga posing the same way with different emotions :D
