Tip For Hijackers: Do Not Use Small Cars

In movies, we see car hijackers robbed armored vans full of cash do their job successfully - have the van robbed and go home happily. But yesterday this scenario changed a bit.

An armored van that delivers cash to ATMs was hijacked in Malaysia. The hijackers were almost successful with their deed, except for the fact that they wasn't able to get all the cash. This is because their getaway car is a pretty small city car, the Perodua Kelisa. The car is so small that all the money wont fit into the car and robbers just decided to leave half of the cash behind.

Knight Rider Returns - Rise Of The Mustang

I was still not born when this super car series hit our televisions. Most probably, it was my parents who enjoyed watching it. And now that Knight Rider is officially back after 12 years, I made sure that I got to watch it.

Last September 24, the 12 year cooking of the sequel to the first series starred by David Hasselhoff was finally aired starring a newer actor, Justin Bruening. Both of them played the role of the main character, Michael Knight. Abu the resident super intelligent car of the series is still there, the adorable KITT (original meaning/name is Knight Industries Two Thousand). Actually I have watched the first episode already, but this is the video of its premiere, watch it.

Cadillac Cien

A few days ago I borrowed DVDs from my neighbor whom I know is a certified movie collector. The strong storm made me really lazy that I don't want to go out and is willing to spend the whole day just watching movies in a DVD marathon. For that day alone, I watched 6 movies in total. It was indeed a long movie marathon.

One of the movies that particularly got my attention is the film from director Michael Bay starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlet Johansson, its title is The Island. I actually do not like the the movie in general and turned out to be a major disappointment. However, there is one scene that made me researched a lot about the film. Watch this video so you'll know what I'm talking about.

For Safer Road Driving

One of the leading cause of death especially for the younger generation is by a road accident. Most young people of today are not careful enough, and they sometimes end their life in a brutal, grave road accident.

Although studies shows that from 1980 to 2007 the road accident rate lowered by more than 50%, the number of victims are still high, and most of them are aged between 16-30 years old.
