Style Cramped
The article, ‘Is She Cramping Your Style’ was an
entertaining read and I could relate to most of
the situations. Women are great, but sometimes
they can really suffocate a man when we’re least
expecting it. A total buzz kill!

Text by Mark Jansen
IS SHE
CRAMPING
YOUR STYLE?
“Baby, why do we have to go see your friends? You know
how much I don’t like hanging around them, so you just
stay home with me okay?” If this has happened to you, your
style has off icially been 'cramped'. We’ve all been there, so
there’s no shame in admitting it. So we tend to give a little
leeway to our loved ones (especially those we share a bed
with). But sometimes ignoring the facts means you’re just
keeping every thing inside. When that happens it’s inevitable
that things are going to blow up like Mount Saint Helen’s.
Sometimes we need to posture around our friends, to keep
up 'with the Joneses', but it might be next to impossible with
a ball and chain around your ankle. How to spot those signs
of an oncoming 'cramp'? We've got the list...
STYLE CRAMPER NO. 1
THE FOOD FUSS
SCENE
You’re out at a shopping mall with your ‘sweetheart’ trying to decide
what to eat. Only thing is, she’s fussy with her food. So you pick a
restaurant that’s capable of satisfying her selective stomach but she
disagrees with that self less choice even though you agreed to go along
with her game. This process goes on for a further ten minutes and the
both of you end up walking in opposite directions with a dismissed
look from you, and a teary eyed expression from her. Sound familiar?

If a couple can’t even agree on where to eat without getting into
a heated argument, then what’s the point in showing some table

Man on the Moon II
(Hip Hop)
With a talent to lyrically
twists ones mind, KiD
CuDi has emerged as
one of the front-runners
to take the alternative
hip hop crown in 2010.
Man on the Moon II:
The Legend of Mr.Rager
collaborates with musical
moguls Jay Z, Snoop
Dogg and David Guetta
for reasons of expanding
diversity. He's the real
prospect of past legends.
Eyelid Movies
(Trip Hop)
Her voice and lyrics will
keep you wanting more
and the melodic beats
by him will keep your
feet tapping. Their debut
4
album Eyelid Movies is
current, revigorating, and
vocally blissful. It's trip
hop perfection and an
exceptional band that
caters to the masses.
Check out, 'Mouthful of
Diamonds' for a sneak
peak at inspiration.

Flaws

They've got indie fans
drooling over their new
album with melodic
guitar skills and gentle
vocals able to tame a
restless beast. Taking
their strengths from
previous works, the trio
added some spice of

Electronic riffs with subtle

the lyrical preaching of

This tri-factor of talent
moved from conservative

their urban style and
trend setting finesse.
They're definitely
stepping into the great
unknown, testing the
power of suggestion.

What are guys like
when they're with you?
There was one guy who
wouldn't quit calling
and texting me. I had
to stop taking calls for
awhile. Luckily, he lost
interest after that.
What's the best way to
stand out from other
people in a crowd?
Just be myself. Then
people will know who
I am.

What do you like to do
in your free time?
I like to hang out with
my girl friends! Some
of my girl friends have
been my friends since
primary school! We
share a lot of “dark”
secrets. You never
know when it comes to
girl talk...
If you had to pick
between being with a
guy who's famous, rich
or good-looking, who
would you pick?
It's a tough question
but I guess I'll pick
a guy who is rich.
Although I dont
consider myself to
be a gold-digger, I
would prefer to have
more money as it's an
essential thing in this
life. A girl needs to be
pampered sometimes...

TOYOTA COROLLA ALTIS
Setting the bar high, Toyota has
upgraded one of their favorite models in
supreme style, comfort and power. It’s
the tenth generation of the new Toyota
Corolla Altis and it’s setting a benchmark
for superior sedan four-door vehicles.
With a sporty and distinctive look, the
2010 Altis comes in four vibrant colors of
Pearl White, Black Mica, Silver Metallic,
and Medium Silver Metallic. It’s a driving
experience like no other, with Dual VVT-I
engines fitted in its sleek body for faster
acceleration and smooth transitions for
the modern day driver. Out of the four
variants available, the new Altis 2.0V is
Toyota’s most prized asset in the new
range.
EXTERIOR
Seven changes were made to incorporate
a sporty appearance in comparison to its
predecessor. The new Altis now looks
bolder, with changes in the front lamp
and grille to give it a slimmer profile. The
rear bumper has a ‘catamaran shape’
and is fitted with trapezoidal reflectors.
These overall exterior changes make
the new Altis more streamline and
more importantly, stand out in style. To
distinguish it from other variants, the new
Altis 2.0V has a dark single bar grille.
Transmission with intelligence) in the 1.8E,
1.8G & 2.0V variants, it makes for a powerful
driving experience that is smooth, has
excellent acceleration and top-end power.
PERFORMANCE
Carrying Dual VVT-I engines in the 1.8G
and 2.0V versions, the new Altis has
been designed to optimize combustion
efficiency. Combined with a new Super
CVT-I (Continuously Variable
This allows drivers to merge and overtake
easily on busy highways, making trips around
town enjoyable rather than a chore. The new
engines are from the latest ZR series and are
of ‘all-aluminium’ design with 16-valve double
overhead camshaft cylinder heads. Besides
the 1.6-litre and 1.8-litre models, the 2.0-litre
version is the first time a Corolla with this
engine size is offered in Malaysia.
The 2ZR-FE (1.8L) and 3ZR-FE (2.0L) engines
also have an Acoustic Control Induction
System (ACIS) which alters the length of the
intake pipe to improve torque delivery. This
gives the engine potential to perform at its
optimal best in all conditions with controlled
airflow.
INTERIOR Aiming for a feel of advanced luxury, the inside of the new Altis has been refined to suit its occupant. Attention to detail
on surface quality gives the new Altis a class-above impression. Comfort was one of Toyota’s top priorities, with perforated leather
upholstery integrated in the two higher versions of the Altis (2.0V & 1.8G).

EXPLORING THE SECRET
BEHAVIOR OF CITIES
As a kid, did you know you were the exploring type?
Absolutely not. I loved reading National Geographic, learning about
different places and cultures that I could travel to in the future. I always
thought it would be for personal pleasures rather then for work or
business. One thing that probably did help my cause in becoming an
explorer was my childhood house. There were a lot of people coming
and going always sharing great stories about their travels and the people
they met. I guess that’s where I got my interest for things like adventure,
exploring and to travel.
What makes Hidden Cities different from other discovery-driven
shows?
Being a program for the History Channel, viewers can use 'Hidden Cities'
as an educational program as well as a platform to seek adventure. One
big difference between this program and the rest is that in every location
we filmed, we got to see all the historic sites from the natives’ point of view.
Rather than asking the professionals of the sites to help us out, we asked
the locals to show us around, and by doing this we got to see the history of
each site through their cultured eyes.
Other than exploring the hidden relics and cities of Asia, what
other continents tickle your fancy?
South America is definitely a continent I would love to venture into. I’m
fascinated by how every country, despite having their own individual
cultural values, share an important tool such as the same language
(Portuguese). Reasons like this make traveling worthwhile because it’s
the people that make cities come alive. One other country I am looking
forward to explore when the time comes is India.
How dangerous was it to film on an active volcano like Mount
Merapi in Indonesia?
There was always the thrill factor that we were filming next to an active
volcano, but we weren't exactly near the opening of it. We could always
see the exuding smoke which we took as a sign of caution. On the volcano
itself, we visited the station towers that recorded the seismic activity of
Merapi and that helped calm everybody's nerves. If Merapi was to erupt,
the crew and I were far enough to escape safely.
Out of the four countries you filmed in, which one rocked it out?
I always tell myself that asking that particular question is like asking a
mother which is her favorite child! All four locations were unique in their
own aspects in terms of the people, culture, food, and environment. If I had
to pick however, I’d say that Taiwan was a wonderful experience because
I was blown away by its extraordinary people and fascinating places. In a
way, because it was the fourth and final episode, I had already become
comfortable with my hosting abilities and that allowed me to fully take in
the beauty of what Taiwan had to offer.
Does being the host of 'Hidden Cities' score bonus points with
the ladies?
We have yet to see those results! Give it a few months once the program
is aired, and I’ll definitely get back to you on that question! In a way, women
themselves are like 'Hidden Cities’.
Were there any close shaves during filming?
During filming, there wasn't any obvious danger. In Fort Cornwallis
Penang, Malaysia we were about to film one scene down a well when we
were told that there were spitting cobras. The locals advised me not to
go down there to explore when I asked if it was possible, but it was my
decision to make. In another scene, I went down an elevator shaft that was
80 feet deep and extremely wide. Upon returning from it, the locals were
extremely surprised with my bravery as that was the 'well' which contained
the cobras! In that case ignorance was bliss.

"I love
Thanksgiving

it's the only

Cognac and food?
Usually, French
food is better
paired with red
or white wine.
Asian food is
more suited
for cognacs. In
Martell’s range of
cognacs, the spicy
aroma and flavor is
a good match with
Malaysian food.
Do you take both
the taste and
aroma of cognac
into account when
pairing the dishes?
Yes. When
considering the
different pairings, I
work with Jacques
Meunier, the
Heritage Director
of Martell & Co.
What’s your
preferred cognac?
Martell’s Cordon
Bleu is one of my
favorite cognacs.
I like to have
a glass of that
with spicy food.
Classic dishes like
abalone or shark’s
fin soup with
Cordon Bleu will
work out well too.
Any pairings
so far that has
turned out to be a
surprise?
I’ve tried a
traditional French
recipe before
called chicken
halicot but when
paired with Martell
XO, the flavors
that was brought
out surprised me.
It is said that the
way to a man’s
heart is through
his stomach. On
the flipside, do you
similarly impress
women with your
cooking?
Yes (laughs).
In France a lot
of the women
are working full
time and they
don’t have the
opportunity to
cook much. It’s
no longer like 20
or 30 years ago,
now both men and
women have to
share daily chores.
In that way, I guess
men who can
cook are definitely
more attractive to
women.

THE CARLSBERG GUIDE TO | GETTING AHEAD
Throw The Best
Party In Town!
WHAT’S YOUR THEME?
A themed party is always fun – whether it’s
‘Superheroes & Superbabes’ or ‘Beautiful
Stranger’, having an exciting theme will get
your guests talking about your party way
before and long after the celebratory tinsel is
thrown. Don’t make it too complicated, pick
something generic enough for your guests to
follow. Throw in a prize for best dressed and
your party is well under way to success.
LET’S DANCE!
Key to a great party is rocking music. Try to
keep your music loosely related to your party’s
theme, for example, throwing the Superman
song on every 30 minutes could be your cue
to get everyone to put their masks back on. A
mix of old favorites and Top 10 tunes always
does the trick.
INVITE A VARIETY OF GUESTS
Don’t just invite your office colleagues – ask them
to bring someone that is not in their immediate
circle of friends – this could be their tattoo artist,
kick-boxing instructor or even hair-stylist. The
idea is to inject variety into your party and create
talking points between a diverse crowd.
CREATE AN ICE-BREAKER
If your guests are feeling shy, stick another party
guest’s name on their arm and get them to find
that person. Alternately, have everyone take
turns to perform a party trick – anything from
tap-dancing to mime!
IS THERE A CENTRAL ACT?
Decide on whether you want your party to lead up
to a pivotal moment, for example, to announce the
Best Dressed winners or a ‘dance-off’. Alternately,
let everyone mingle and create their own moment
of fun!
THANKS, EVERYBODY
Let everyone have a memento to remember the
party by. This could be anything from Polaroid
snaps of themselves in their super hero costumes
to a key-chain figurine of their favorite super hero.

Longines celebrates adventurer Lindbergh’s explorations
American aviator Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly non-stop across the North Atlantic in his Spirit of St. Louis
and in 1933 he set off with his wife on a trip of 47,000 km around the North Atlantic. Lindbergh took with him a Longines
chronograph developed specially for his flight to Greenland and the far north. A wristwatch chronograph movement with
a 30-minute counter, it measured time to the fifth of a second and the chronograph mechanism also had a tachymeter
that could measure speeds of up to 500 kph. Reissued as the Longines Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage Watch, the time
measurements on this mechanical wrist chronograph are displayed using hands of blued steel on a silvered dial with a white
surround, on a diameter of 47.50 mm and a self-winding movement.

Injections
Instead of botox or

for wrinkle reduction is
carboxytherapy. Carbon
dioxide is injected below
the skin and is said
to help combat dark
circles under the eyes,
reduce fat in the local
area and tighten skin.
By boosting the flow of
blood and oxygen to the
skin it is believed that
this helps to nourish and
regenerate skin cells.
Carbon dioxide jabs
have also been used to
help cure baldness. The
injections have been
reported to “reopen”

allowing hair to regrow.

With all its fantastic
goals, technical skills,
and dedicated following,
football has a dark side
that’s more often than
not caught on camera
rather than by the referee.
Players are normally a
composed bunch (as
composed as FIFA rules

sometimes these feelings
show in a physical and
shocking way. Some call
it loyalty and undying
passion, while others
laugh at what's perceived

certain cases, career
suicide. But it’s these
moments of madness
that win World Cups, or at

inches. CLIVE takes a
guarded peek at four of
the most controversial
moments in football's rich
history.
BAD BOYS
OF FOOTBALL
FROM KUNG-FU KICKS TO 'THE HAND OF GOD': PLAYERS WHO TEAR UP
THE REFEREE RULEBOOK
Paolo Di Canio
Friend or Foe?
Italy has produced a handful
of magical players, and Di
Canio certainly fits into
that category. He was the
driving force for West Ham
United in the early 2000’s,
showering Upton Park with
his dazzling footwork and
special goals. However, this
feisty Italian has a temper to
feed, often forcing referees
to show him the dreaded
red. On September 1998,
while playing for Sheffield
Wednesday against Arsenal,
Di Canio was sent off
by referee Paul Alcock.
In retaliation, Di Canio
pushed Alcock, who fell
to the ground theatrically.
It might have been comical
to audiences, but Di Canio
was awarded with an
eleven-match ban. In a turn
of events, while playing for
THAT GIRL
CANTONA'S
MOMENT OF
MADNESS
West Ham in 2000 against
Everton, Di Canio caught
the ball with the goal-post at
his mercy because Everton’s
keeper was injured outside
the box. This act of fair
play was recognized by
FIFA’s Fair Play Award in
2001. It’s a tale of two
twists, from one of the
most memorable characters
of the beautiful game.
Zinadine Zidane
The Raging Bull
Probably the most gifted
footballer to ever graze a
pitch, Zidane was smack in
the middle of 2006’s World
Cup highlights – but for all
the wrong reasons. Having
helped his national side
reach the finals with master
class performances to make
even Ronaldinho cry, it was
the taunting of Italy’s Marco
Materazzi that blew the lid
of the now legendary Zizu.
A derogatory remark
about Zidane’s sister from
Materazzi was enough
for the Frenchman to
headbutt Materazzi in the
chest. He was then sent off
in the 110th minute, marking
it as the last time he would
ever play in a competitive
match again. France ended
up losing the penalty
shootout, with punters and
critics saying how Zidane
could have proven to be the
deciding factor.
Eric Cantona
Kung Fu Insanity
They called him ‘The
King’ at Old Trafford; an
arrogant genius with the
ball. Eric Cantona can
only wish his acting was
as good as his football,
with Manchester United
reaping the rewards of his
nonchalant abilities. There
was to be a big dent in his
career however, when an
act of pure futility plagued
'WHAT'S YOUR
PROBLEM?'
him in 1995’s Premiership
game against Crystal
Palace. While walking to the
tunnel after being dismissed
for a vengeful kick at Palace
defender Richard Shaw,
Cantona violently attacked
Crystal Palace fan Matthew
Simmons with a kung fu
kick and repetitive punches.
He was banned for eight
months, with FIFA stating
that ‘it was a stain on our
game’. In 2007, Cantona
was quoted as saying,
“I have a lot of good
moments, but the one I
prefer is when I kicked the
hooligan.”
Diego Maradona
Hand of God
His second goal against
HOTTIE OF THE MONTH
TENNIS PLAYER,
ALLISON STOKKE
USA’s female pole-vaulting team has never looked as good
as Ms. Allison Stokke. A Great feature to the sport!
England in the 1986 World
Cup quarterfinal match has
gone down in history as the
goal of the decade, as voted
by fans on FIFA.com. But
it was his first goal that will
always be remembered by
all, known as ‘The Hand of
God’. After dribbling past
a few English players, the
ball rebounded into the air
with English keeper Peter
Shilton as the favorite to
catch it. With Maradona
running at momentum, he
leaped in the air challenging
Shilton, but knocked the
ball towards the goal with
his hand. The referee was
oblivious to Maradona’s
cheeky illegal foul, despite
most of the English team
protesting for the goal
to be disallowed. The
Argentine legend then
proved his doubters wrong
with the second goal, and
Argentina then went on to
win the 1986 World Cup in
deserved fashion.

but not nasty? No, we're
not talking about what
you think — everyone
likes a good deal, and
even more so when
there's a holiday attached
to the bargain. There
are loopholes for the
budget traveler especially
in destinations that we
hold close to our hearts
and even better; closer
to our homeland. We’re
talking about a country
that’s just up north that's
known for it’s scandalous
lifestyles, unique culture
and beautiful islands.
Thailand holds an
abundance of island
gems for the inquisitive
globetrotter. The islands
of Koh Samui and Koh
Phangan are firmly
planted on hitchhiker's
maps, and here's CLIVE’s
take on how to keep it
cheap and tight (in the
wallet, that is).
Koh Samui
Island Breakdown
A beautiful island in the
province of Surat Thani, it's
total square area is 247
km with a 55-kilometer
road paved around its
perimeters. Named as the
'island of coconut trees',
it’s the third largest island
THAT GIRL
in Thailand. Different
beaches in Koh Samui
have certain advantages of
privacy (Lamai, Bophut, Hua
Thanon) while the wheeling
and dealing can be found
on popular main beach,
Chaweng.
The first thing to do is avoid
the quieter beaches where
over priced items are the
norm. Head to Chaweng,
where alcohol, food and
entertainment is cheaper.
Don’t be fooled by the fancy
Brazilian restaurants on the
main stretch, where roasted
condiments are displayed
at the entrance Just stick
with the local delights
because it’s as authentic as
it gets and it doesn’t burn
a hole in your wallet. The
local restaurants might not
look the part of a delicious
dining experience, but the
proof is in the tasting. Ninja
Restaurant on Chaweng’s
main thoroughfare serves
good Thai food at less than
RM10. It's a great value-formoney place that you can
visit for breakfast, lunch or
dinner.
take a 'tuk-tuk' instead of
a normal taxi. It only costs
RM5 to go anywhere on
the island — that’s three to
four times cheaper than a
normal cab. 'Tuk-tuks' are
a boon for budget travelers
because it’s open-air, can
hold about eight people
(which means friends can
be made) and of course,
it’s dirt cheap. Don’t hold
your breath if your driver’s
speeding like a maniac, it’s
part of Thai culture.
Thinking of taking a tour
round the island to see the
sights? The Big Buddha
Temple, Sky Fox and island
safari can take a rain check.
They’ll cost too much, take
up most of your day, and
you’ll end up exhausted.
Instead, why not take a nap
on the beach or explore the
locale at a leisuirely pace?
Make friends with locals,
and you could get a free
tour that only involves you
spending on a a frosty beer.
Koh Phangan
Island Breakdown
With a population of
14,000, Koh Phangan is a
forty-minute ferry ride from
neighboring Koh Samui.
It's total square area is 168
km and has a main town
named Thongsala. Phangan
is famous for its clear water
snorkeling beaches in the
North (Had Kuat, Ao Thong
Nai Pan Noi, Had Mae
Had) and its beaches in
the South (Had Rin Nok,
Had Rin Nai) that hosts the
biggest beach parties in the
world.
Other than taking the
normal tourist trails, why not
head up to Mellow Mountain
in the Southern beach of
Haad Rin. Located at the
end of the beach, a rock
staircase leads up to the
elevated clubs. Drinks trend
toward cheap and the décor
When travelling around,
KOH SAMUI
FACT GUIDE
1. Koh Samui’s population is around 40,000, but during peak season, numbers can get as high as 1 million people.
2. Make sure you tell shop ownors that you’re Malaysian. You’ll get cheaper prices because of our close quarters.
3. Drivers on the island are reckless and they drive fast. Be careful when crossing roads and junctions.

is Rastafarian approved.
Compared to other venues,
Mellow Mountain has a
bird’s eye view, and an aura
to make you want to stay.
In other words, less money
spent.
The infamous Full Moon
Party is held on a monthly
basis on Haad Rin, and is
the biggest beach party
in the world. People from
around the globe travel just
for the full moon experience,
as it’s known to be the Ibiza
of Asia. One important
thing to note when at the
Full Moon party is to stick
with the alcoholic buckets.
They’re between RM10 to
RM30, but one is enough
to get you dancing the night
away. If that’s still out of your
budget, share a bucket with
a friend.
The Full Moon party is
a great time to spend
less because there’s free
entertainment all along the
beach. From fire-eaters
to the countless of clubs
playing different genres
of music, it’s all free for
the public, with just the
occasional purchase of
alcohol to add to the party
mood. What more could you
ask for?
than the full moon party, Koh Phangan also hosts the half-moon party and black-moon party.

The full moon party can get a bit dodgy. Be careful throughout the night, and keep your belongings with you at all times.
FACT GUIDE
3. Between 10-30 thousand people attend the full moon party every month. That’s more than the island population!

A DV E R T O R I A L
Arthur’s Day, dedicated to honouring Arthur
Guinness – the pioneer and philanthropist who
signed the 9,000 year lease on the St. James's
Gate Brewery in 1759, thereby introducing
GUINNESS®, the distinctly dark brew, to the
world – was definitely a night to remember!
Arthur’s Day was celebrated with much
excitement and exhilaration as Flo Rida, Sean
Kingston, Colby O’Donis, Thaitanium, Pop Shuvit,
Mizz Nina, Melissa Indot and DJ Fuzz artists
rocked the stage at Arthur’s Day, Surf Beach,
Sunway Lagoon on 24th September!
The 8,000-strong crowd cheered on as these
eight talented artists brought the house down
with a night of electrifying performances. First
up on stage was turntable guru, DJ Fuzz, who
kicked off the night with a set of thumping club
hits, followed by R ‘n’ B singer, Melissa Indot, who
wowed the crowd with her fantastic vocals.
Independent rap-rock band, Pop Shuvit, was
next on stage to get the energy rising before
hip-hop and R ‘n’ B artist, Mizz Nina worked the
crowd and the stage as she sang and dance the
crowd to euphoria. She also performed alongside
American hip-hop artist, Colby O’Donis to a wild
and cheering crowd when the dynamic duo
belted out their hit single, “What You Waiting
For?”
The energy just kept on going throughout
the night, with Thai hip-hop band, Thaitanium,
giving an explosive performance, followed
by Jamaican American singer, Sean Kingston.
The sizzling sensation drove the crowd into a
screaming frenzy with his hits “Beautiful girls”
and “Eenie meenie”.
Last, but most certainly not least, the new
“it” man of hip-hop, Flo Rida took centre stage,
performing “In The Ayer” to fans who cheered
him on. The two-time Grammy award nominee
threw candy into the crowd while singing
“Sugar” and left fans begging for more. They
certainly weren’t disappointed when Flo Rida
sang his award-winning hit, “Low”, and a recent
favourite, “Can’t Handle Me Now” – not once,
but twice!
The amazing night ended with all artists
toasting to the truly remarkable man that was
Arthur Guinness! Colourful fireworks lit up the
night sky to mark the final leg of the Arthur’s Day
celebrations.
During this year’s Arthur’s Day in Malaysia,
bottled water was also distributed as part of
Guinness’ “Drink Sensibly” campaign. In addition
to this, concert goers were also directed to taxi
stands to ensure a safe ride home.

HOSTAGE
MONDAY NIGHT IN THE SUBURBS OF PJ — SARAH* AND JACK*
WALK OUT OF A POPULAR BAR WITH A GROUP OF TWENTY
PEOPLE MADE UP OF ASSORTED FRIENDS, LOVERS AND
BUDDIES.
“I wasn't dressed up or anything, I was just going to chill.
I had no make-up on, that's it. I remember before I went out,
I had taken all the stuff out of my bag. Luckily, my passport
as well (was taken out). I had a couple of beers and what
happened after that was I wanted to grab a cab home but
then Jane* was like, no, don't be silly, my friend will send you
home, he lives nearby. I was still standing on 'no, I'll take a
cab' but they were like, 'no it's dangerous, it's dangerous' so
I said fine. So I went into Jack's car, one of their friends, and
we drove off. Jane's iPhone was in the bag, and she needed
it back so they wanted to meet us in Taman Tun. We weren't
actually going that way but we went there and then they
called and said, let's meet up another day. I've only met Jack
two or three times and we don't really know each other. We
needed petrol so we stopped at one of the petrol stations that
lined the main highway,” recounts Sarah.
“We parked and because I was on the phone, I didn't really
pay attention to anything that was going on around me — I
just sat in the car and then suddenly I looked to my right and
then there's a guy that gets in the car. It's so silly because
normally we'd lock the door but we didn't really think and
it was only about one plus in the morning,” she continued.
While Jack got out to pump petrol, he noticed that a car had
sidled up to the other side of the pump. Suddenly Sarah hears
yelling. While Jack was walking back to the driver's side of
the car, one of the men from the car approached him. “He
pulled a parang on me and from then on I was defenseless.
I didn't realize until I was watching the CCTV recording
later that three guys jumped me,” he recalled. Sarah, at the
time was trying to get out of the car when she heard Jack's
warning. “I heard Jack say, 'Sarah, get out of the car', and
then I grabbed the handle of the door out of ref lex because I
saw a guy with a knife. So I opened the door, right when I'm
opening the door someone pulls it open and my bag falls out.
Straight away, this stranger grabs my bag and we're wrestling
for awhile. I'm holding on to my bag and all the things inside
fall to the ground. And then he tried to grab my phone. I
was holding on to it so he didn't manage to get my phone.
And then instead of pulling me out, they closed the door on
me and drove off,” she said. At this point, one of the three
assailants had got in the driver's seat and tried to start the
ignition. But he couldn't do it and the guy (who was driving
the other car) had to show him how to do it.
When they drove off, one of them pulled Jack's T-shirt

*Names have been changed
over his head, obscuring his view. After a short distance, they
threw Sarah in the back as well. At this point, they had an
assailant on each side of them, one of them holding a parang.
“I managed to put my phone in my pocket but they were
ripping everything off us. There was a guy in the back with
Jack, then there was a driver, the guy that took my bag then
when we drove off another guy got in the car and sat with me
and put my head down between my legs”, said Sarah.
“I discovered that I didn't really shout, I was more like,
'What the hell are you doing?' Jack said that when they held
my head down, I was crying and saying 'What the hell was
going on' and I could hear one of the guys shouting at us 'Shut
up! Shut up!', threatening us, 'If you don't shut up, we're going
to kill you!' and every time I tried to raise my head they'd
say, 'Don't look, don't look.' They were speaking in English
and Malay but mostly in Malay. They held my head down
throughout the entire time we were in the car, for three or
four hours.”
“I remember the guy that was sitting next to me and
holding my head down was fat and sturdy, the guy next to
Jack was skinny, small and short with a cap and holding a
parang. The guy sitting in front was older — the two guys in
the back with me were about twenty and twenty-two years
old. I saw them more than Jack but they kept brushing my
hair down to block my view. Jack didn't see anything at all in
the car. The guys sounded very kampung, but they definitely
THAT GIRL

THAT GIRL
looked like they had done this before. The guy who took my
bag looked really mean — he had big, bushy eyebrows. They
seemed like they knew what they were doing – they were on
walkie-talkies. The whole way they were trying to intimidate
us, shouting 'Shut the f*** up' and they told Jack 'If she
doesn't stop crying, we're gonna kill you, we're gonna do
stuff' and Jack was a complete gentleman, trying to calm me
down.”
The guys were very cocky. Jack told them, 'Just take
my car', and the driver was like, “'I don't want your f***ing
car, I've a f***ing Ferrari.' Well, if you have a Ferrari, why
are you kidnapping us? They wanted RM10,000. From the
moment we drove away they were ripping my rings off — I
managed to get one ring off and sneak it into my bra and
I managed to sneak the phone into the car seat. They took
Jane's phone so they had two phones and they thought it
was mine. They were asking 'Where's your phone? Where's
your phone?,' but I said 'No, I don't have it, you took it, you
took it.' They took all of Jack's stuff in the car; they were just
grabbing everything they could. They were going through a
lot of things while they were driving and they were driving
fast. Basically we were just speeding for a long time and
we didn't know where we were going. They kept turning,
stopping, talking to each other on their walkie-talkies and
they asked Jack for his credit cards and passwords.”
“Basically the whole ride was yelling and Jack was just so
calm, it was unbelievable, he was saying 'Sarah, don't worry,
it's under control', and I was scared. I didn't say anything
but I was damn scared. I kept asking Jack, 'We're gonna
get killed right?' And most of the time, he'd be like,
'No Sarah, no', but then he'd be like, 'I don't know
Sarah, I don't know.' And he would hold my hand because
we both didn't know what to do. They would ask stuff about
me. I heard them ask Jack: Is she your girlfriend?
“Yes, she's my girlfriend.”
“Do you love her?”
“Yeah, I love her a lot. Please don't hurt her.”
He didn't even know me!
“Okay, if you don't want us to hurt her, give me
RM10,000.”“I don't have RM10,000.”
“What do you have?”
“Here, take my credit cards.”
So Jack gave them all his cards and the other car stopped
and the guys in our car passed over the cards. They'd be
like, 'Give me the password! Bam!Bam!' Actually they were
just looking for excuses to rough him up. They took his I.C.
and were threatening to kill his family if he did anything in
retaliation. And they kept asking him if I was a foreigner. I
think Jack said that I was from Ukraine or something.
They asked him what's my name and he blurted out Sally.
“Why are you calling her Sarah?”
“That's her nick name.”
“So you love her?”
“Yeah, I love her a lot.”
“Okay, just give me your money and we won't hurt her.”
Sarah remembers too that “The guy next to me would
reach over to punch Jack. They'd keep beating me on my
neck and back, kept pushing my head down.”
“They were beating Jack wherever they could hit him in
the car. I remember sitting in the car and there was blood
everywhere – down my legs, on my arms, wherever the
light hit I could see blood. It was Jack's but I don't know
how. I just remember blood down my arms and I remember
whenever I moved, I could feel the stickiness of the blood
against my thighs. I found out later that the parang had cut
through his hand. They beat him up quite well, his eyes and
his ribs were blue-black.”
“The guy with the parang was kind of the 'good guy'. At
one point when I was crying, he started to caress my neck.
You could call it good or not, but he was trying
to comfort me. The fat guy was trying to open my
bra, put his hands down my chest and touch my
breasts. The driver reached behind and fondled
my breasts as well. And the fat guy put my
hand down his pants. But every time they'd do
something I'd voice out, 'Jack, he's touching me.'
I don't care if they were going to stab me, but
I just didn't want that. I let them at one point
because I was scared but then I'd move out of
the way. Jack could've just been some guy. Any
person in a life or death situation would show
their true colors — 'Take her, take the car, take
whatever you want. Just let me go, you know?'
He could've done that, but he didn't. He was
very heroic in that situation. They took Jack's
belt, shoes and my shoes. They said they were
from Indonesia but it was so obvious that they
were not. Jack could hear from their dialect
that they were not.”

Sarah was thinking of the worst-case scenario at this
point, that they wouldn't get out of this alive. They seemed to
be driving around forever, going in no particular direction.
“We had been driving around for such a long time and if
they'd just wanted money, we'd given them already — why
would they drive around with us?,” Sarah reasoned.
Jack recalled, “We were in the car for about three and a
half hours. In that time, I was questioned about what I did,
where I lived, what my parents did, what Sarah did, where
she was from...they were just trying to get more money. And
more cars too.”
When the car-jackers realized that they weren't going to
get any more money from their two victims, they stopped the
car and tried to forcibly pull Sarah out. “At one point, they
were trying to pull me out of the car, because they said they
were going to rape me. They grabbed my legs and that's when
I started screaming. Jack was holding on to my body with his
legs, even though he couldn't see what was happening. The
guy who was ripping me out was at the same time kicking
Jack to let go of me. There was too much commotion so the
fat guy had to let go of me and he went to the other car. So
there was only the driver, the guy in the front and the guy
with the parang behind with us. Since there was no one
holding me, the guy with the parang put his blade against
the side of my leg so that I would know, 'Okay, it's just us.'”
“I honestly went to a point where I was thinking, I've
missed out too much in my life. I'm too young to die. I
haven't seen my family enough. Stuff like that just goes
through your mind. And then you start planning your escape
scenario. I could hit the guy in the face but then Jack
would still be there next to the guy with the parang,
so we still wouldn't be able to do anything. So much
goes through your head. I wish I had my pepper spray.
But you're just not able to do anything and you feel
helpless and it's such an awful feeling. I'm sure Jack
felt the same way, he could only talk to them nicely.
You don't want to talk to them nicely but you have
to. You have to be gathered. I couldn't cry. I couldn't
yell. I couldn't show them I was scared because
they would do something. You just have to gather
yourself, forget you're in that situation and just be
like, 'Okay, we're gonna be okay', and just do our
best.”
“I was constantly thinking when to take my
phone out, and in the car, Jack said, 'She's so
scared, can I hold her?' And the guy with the
parang actually let him. Jack put his arms
around me, even though they were bound.
The ties on my arms were so painful, it felt like I had no
circulation in my hands. I was telling Jack that I couldn't
feel my hands and he said to the guy sitting next to him if he
could do something, and the guy actually tried to open it for
me. It was strange because they were giving us a false feeling
that we were going to be okay but at the same time going,
'We're going to kill you'. I managed to take the phone out at
one point and hold it down but the guy in front kept looking
back. And if I turned it on, they would see the screen light up.
I was hoping to dial a number, and just leave the phone so that
they could hear what was going on. When they pulled us out it
was too late.”
The car stopped abruptly. Jack and Sarah are pulled out
of the car, Jack with his hands tied and T-shirt still over his
head. “They put me on my knees. It was pitch black: quiet as
hell, all I could feel was grass. I gotta admit, at this point I
thought they were gonna chop my head off. So I pulled my tee
off, tried to get up and ask them what was going on, but they
just shoved me back down and told me to shut up. When I
noticed that he wasn't holding the parang I looked over to my
left and saw Sarah kneeling down, and the other guy next to
her holding the parang. So I told them not to hurt us, or not to
kill us, maybe both.”
That's when their assailants ran back to the car and drove
off. “It was really quiet, the grass was damp, and the only
thing you could hear were crickets and we knew that we were
somewhere where there was nobody. That feeling when they
ran to the car was like, 'Oh my god, we're alive!' I didn't even
care that we were in a jungle. The first thing we did was ask
each other if we were okay. Jack ripped off his cables but I
couldn't get mine off – we didn't have much time to think
before a truck passed by. Jack stood in front of the truck and
it stopped and this old Chinese guy let us get in. We just sat
there in a daze. The driver couldn't speak English so he didn't
know what was going on, he just saw me drenched in blood
with no shoes on with my hands tied up. I borrowed the truck
driver's phone but we couldn't get through to anyone, didn't
have any numbers on us. I could only remember my mom and
my boyfriend's number. My boyfriend didn't pick up — before I
left home we had a little argument so he had put his phone on
silent. Now he feels so bad about it.”

“It was strange because when we were hostages I really
wanted to see my boyfriend but there I was sitting next to
a guy who was protecting me as well. But it was probably a
good thing because my boyfriend would've done something
stupid. I was quite lucky I was with a guy who did all he
could but he was not emotionally attached. When they were
touching me, Jack was really calm whereas my boyfriend
would have freaked out. In that sense, it was a 'good'
situation.”
It took them twenty minutes to get out of the secluded
area they were in. The truck driver got them a taxi and gave
them RM10 and they went to the nearest police station.

they also released a statement:
“Clinton expressed words of
sincere apology to Kim Jong Il for
the hostile acts committed by the
two American journalists against

Le were detained
by North Korean border guards
when they crossed into North
Korea from China without a visa.
Their South Korean guide, Kim
Seong Cheol, and American
cameraman Mitch Koss evaded
capture by running away faster.
At the time, the group were
reported to have been filming
video footage for a story on the
trafficking of women when they
were arrested at Tumen River.
Political Environment
George W. Bush's presidency
had severed all diplomatic ties
and he made it clear that he
had no intention of “legitimizing
Kim's regime by talking about
it.” North Korea had boasted of
successfully testing a nuclear
weapon equivalent to the
one that destroyed Hiroshima
on 25th May. Facing fresh
sanctions from the U.N. and it's
political allies, North Korea was
not in the mood for diplomacy.
Detainment
March 17th to June 8th 2009
– Media reports emerge that
the journalists are being held in
separate rooms while awaiting
trial in North Korea, and are
only “occasionally allowed
outside.” They have only been
allowed one visitor in 12
weeks, Swedish ambassador
Mats Foyer, as the U.S. has
no diplomatic relations with
North Korea. The two women
were reported to be “very,
very frightened”. If convicted,
they could spend the rest of
their lives in a labor camp. The
worst of the camps, Kwan-li-so
Reeducation Center No. 15,
or "Yodok" force inmates to do
mountain logging, coal mining
and stone quarrying up to 15
hours per day. An ex-camp
guard who defected to South
Korea told Agence France-
KOH SAMUI
WHITE PARTY
“AT YODOK, INMATES ARE FORCED
TO DO MOUNTAIN LOGGING, COAL
MINING AND STONE QUARRYING UP
TO 15 HOURS PER DAY”
Presse last year he was “trained
to kill all the inmates in an
emergency.”
Sentencing & Imprisonment
June 8th 2009 – North Korean
media confirm that the pair had
been found guilty of illegal entry
and sentenced to twelve years
of hard labor. In the aftermath
of the announcement, political
camps in the U.S. called for
amnesty for the two journalists,
which some news outlets
interpreted as an admission of
guilt. Others called for them to
be releases on humanitarian
grounds.
Repatriation
August 4th 2009 – Former U.S.
President Bill Clinton makes a
covert visit to North Korea, in the
hopes of securing the release
of Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

down Clinton's trip as a “solely
private” effort, Newsweek

Both maintain that they were
never warned by their guide not
to go near the river. Christian
missionaries active among North
Korean refugees claim that the
guide was in cahoots with North
Koreans to capture a "foreign
prize" — a journalist. Ling and
Lee later claimed in a written
statement on Current TV that they
had only briefly entered North
Korean territory before crossing
the river back to China but were
pursued by soldiers who dragged
them to North Korean soil.

The Newswire Report
January 25th 2010 – An unnamed 30 year
old American man was reported to have been
arrested for crossing the border into North
Korea. That man was later confirmed to be
Aijalon Gomes from Boston, who was working
as an English teacher at Chunghui Middle
School, an hour and a half from Seoul.
US requests to free Gomes will not be
accepted while the dispute over the sinking
of the warship continues.
Political Environment
In June 2010, North Korea threatened
"harsher punishment" by "applying a wartime
law to him" (life sentence or a death penalty)
if the United States continued its "hostile
approach" in the follow-up to the sinking
of the ROKS Cheonan. According to a

Detainment
January 25th to August 27th 2010 – While
in confinement, Gomes was alleged to
have attempted suicide out of “frustration
with the U.S. government’s failure to free
him.” It remains unclear why he crossed
over although speculators suggest that
he may have been trying to emulate fellow
Christian Robert Park, who crossed over
to highlight North Korea's human rights
record. Park was expelled after 40 days
with KCNA carrying reports of his “apology.”
Other reports interviewed those who
worked with him, such as van Broekhuizen,
a fellow colleague. “As an outsider, it
seems incredibly stupid what he did, but
Aijalon stopped living for himself awhile
ago," van Broekhuizen said. “I'm sure he
was convinced that what he did could in
a way help the people of North Korea to
be free again.” North Korea allowed a U.S.
State Department team to visit Pyongyang
during the detainment. “For whatever
reason he went to North Korea, he doesn't
pose a security threat," State Department
spokesman Crowley said. "We think on that
basis he should be returned to the U.S. as
soon as possible.”

Sentencing & Imprisonment
April 5th 2010 – Gomes was tried by North
Korea and sentenced to eight years of hard

Repatriation
August 25th 2010 – Former U.S. President
Jimmy Carter was tasked with the mission
of bringing Gomes back. While the Obama
administration distanced itself from the
proceedings, stating that Carter was on
a “private humanitarian mission.” In a New
York Times piece, the writer stresses that
the North Koreans have used captive
Americans as bargaining chips “in exchange
for visits from high-profile Americans.” On
27th August, Aijalon Gomes stepped off
the plane with Jimmy Carter into the waiting
arms of friends and family. Gomes' mother
and family members hugged Carter and
shook his hand before the group headed
inside the terminal, as Gomes smiled and
waved at loved ones along the way. A few
minutes later, Carter reboarded the plane
and left Boston.

were kidnapped from within Iraq.
The Charge
According to the BBC, they were not
“publicly charged” with a crime by Iran;
but according to the New York Times, they
have been held on espionage charges since
e
their arrest. On November 9, 2009, it was
announced they were to be charged for
espionage by Iranian authorities. In August,
the Iranian government reiterated its belief
that the trio should stand trial for illegal
entry, and announced it was considering
other charges such as “intentionally acting
against Iranian security.”
Detainment
While Shourd was released on 14th
September 2010, Shourd's boyfriend
Bauer and friend Fattal remain in Evin
Prison. Due to the number of intellectuals
held there around the time of 1979's
Iranian Revolution, the prison was known
as Evin University. Iranian prisons are rife
with allegations of female rape and prison
authorities have been alleged to use it as a
form of intimidation or punishment. Shourd
was lucky to have escaped such a fate,
being in solitary confinement but allowed to
meet the other two for 30 minute periods
twice a day. In a NY Daily News piece
Shourd recalls being interrogated by Iranian
officials and asked to write about every
detail of her life, including growing up in
Los Angeles, and living with Bauer in Syria
where she taught English. “I just had to be
sure that I was strong when I went into the
interrogation room because I wanted to
make sure that they didn't manipulate me
into saying anything that I didn't want to
say,” she told The Associated Press.
“IRANIAN PRISONS
ARE RIFE WITH RAPE
ALLEGATIONS”
Repatriation
In mid-September 2010, after more than a
year in prison, Sarah Shourd was released
on US$500,000 bail, without charge when
she broke the news that she found a lump
in her breast. She is still not sure who paid
her bail. Iran's judiciary also announced
that the detention of Bauer and Fattal had
been extended for two more months. She
told AP that Bauer and Fattal are currently
being held in a cramped space, not bigger
than the size of a towel and said she would
consider returning to Iran if that is what it
took to prove their innocence.

DIFFERENT SURVIVAL TERRAINS WITH RUTH AND
MYKEL HAWKE, MARRIED AND WITH A 4 YEAR OLD
BACK HOME. SO YOU THOUGHT TAKING OUT THE
GARBAGE WAS TOUGH?
Why do you think survival shows are so popular?
Ruth It's a mixture of things. They kind of capture the
current gist of the world. There's been a spate of terrorism
attacks around the globe and I think people feel the world is
less secure than maybe it was 10 to 12 years ago. The internet,
has spurned this kind of insecurity as well. I think people
are just learning that they might have to one day look after
themselves and their family.
Mykel I think also that in modern times we're so removed in
society from our roots — where we came from — that a lot of
people find it interesting to get back to basics. I see it as not
only a survival interest but also a “back-to-basics” interest.
Were there any specific challenges during filming
on location that brought you both closer together as
husband and wife?
Mykel It's the hardest thing in the world to do survival and
it's really difficult to do it with someone you care about.
Not only because they see your weaknesses – you can't be
perfect – but you see them suffer and it goes both ways. But
we accept each others' weaknesses and basically every bit of it
has made us stronger.
Ruth Mykel would go out and do the hunting because he's
got the training. He couldn't have the film crew with him
because it would scare off any game so he wore a special kind
of helmet cam. He would just walk off into the Amazon by
himself. I was terrified that he would take the wrong turn,
fall down and die. So whenever he returned I was just hugely
relieved.

"IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO
BE IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION
WITH SOMEONE YOU CARE
ABOUT, NOT ONLY BECAUSE
THEY SEE YOUR WEAKNESSES
— BUT YOU SEE THEM SUFFER"
MYKEL HAWKE
Did you discover anything previously unknown about
each other through living in the wild?
Ruth I've discovered that I've married a caveman. I
understand him so much better now. It's one thing when
you're surrounded with technology and conveniences and
luxury of modern life.
Mykel I've found that as beautiful as Ruth is and as girly
as she can be that she can also be very tough and just a
wonderful partner out in the bush.
What's it like when you come back home to other couples
talking about laundry and you're talking about pythons?
Ruth You do have to decompress. I kind of find it more
difficult at the front end because I've been taking my little
boy to kindergarten and talking to other mothers about diets
and which playgrounds are good for the kids. Then two days
later, I'm skinning boa constrictors in the middle of the
CLIVEWORLD.COM
jungle wondering if I'm going to get bitten by something in
the middle of the night. So, it's quite a difficult adjustment.
People think we're odd, basically.
Would you advise couples to go on their own adventure
in the wild?
Mykel I believe that's the best way for people to learn about
each other and bond and grow strong. So the short answer is
heck, yes!
Ruth Definitely, but I second that by saying that people
should never take undue risks. They should always tell people
when and where they are going and when they are due to
return. If you're not used to being out in the wild make sure
you take a basic survival kit and a first aid kit.

while walking back from the restroom,
I spot a beautiful woman sitting by

about her that seemed mysterious, and
I was determined to find out what it
was. I walked over expecting her walls
to be up, but she was as friendly as
she was gorgeous. We ended up going
on a few dates, and got together the
following month. At first, everything
seemed perfect. She was great, my

had ‘urgent’ meetings for work when

put much effort in the relationship. I
thought it was just a busy time of year

SHE SAYS: "TRAPPED"
“I met a guy who I thought was great.
So of course, I did all the things a girl
would do to impress him. I realize
now that I must have had really bad
self-esteem issues to think I needed to
impress a person like that, but that's
exactly what I did. What I didn't realize
was that if I was going to pretend to be
who he wanted me to be, I would have
to keep up this facade throughout the 3
1/2 years we ended up being together.
I sensed his possessiveness early on in
the relationship and whilst trying to
impress him, I used to tell him I didn't
hang out with many guys. In actual
fact, most of my friends were guys. I
would avoid outings if it meant there'd
be more guys than girls and I'd pick up
every call on the first ring and be back
extra early to avoid confrontation and
accusations. Obviously this game was
hard to keep up for 3 1/2 years and I
must have some how become deluded in
the whole romance thing to think this
was actually acceptable. But the lower it
got, the harder it became to get out of it.
He was also a heavy drinker and when
he was drunk, his abuse became worse.

for almost another year before I finally
found the strength to get out. He fought

"GROWING PAINS"
“I met a girl who was perfect for me in
everyway except for one minor detail
— her obsessive neediness. We met at
a friend’s party and started what was
to be a four-year relationship. At first,
things were going smoothly: my parents
accepted her, she was smart, and had
a direction in life which I admired. I
did see from the beginning that she
was fairly needy, which of course I
didn’t mind at first. We were in our
‘honeymoon’ period, and the physical
part of our relationship was occurring
at a very steady rate! That aside, an
emotional connection followed, and
this was my downfall when the good
times came to end. First of all, I slowly
saw myself staying in all the time. I
didn’t see my friends at all, and this
was the case until we broke up. Every
time we got into a fight, it would drag
on for days and she often got my parents
involved. She would answer my phone
calls without me knowing, and tell my
friends that I was busy working. All
of these things bothered me, but what
was to come next crossed the line. One
of my friends, who was the only guy
except for my girlfriend who I saw on a
regular basis because of work, said he
had to tell me something. He said that
my girlfriend was texting him all the
time and it was getting a bit awkward
for him. When I confronted her, she
said she was doing it so she could have
me all to herself after I found out that
my friend would have ‘betrayed’ me. I

GREAT
SURVIVORS
Thanks for
nothing, Death:
Six men that lived
to tell their tales
Lost In The Antarctic
Douglas Mawson was the
sole survivor at the Australian
Antarctic Expedition of
December 1911 after his
fellow explorer, Lieutenant
Ninnis, fell through a crevice.
The other member of his
exploration team, Xavier Mertz,
died from vitamin A poisoning.
So bad was his condition when
he arrived at base camp, his
rescuer exclaimed, “My God,
which one are you?”
Chopped In Half
Truman Duncan is anything but
a half a man, anymore. The one
time railroad switch man fell off
the front of a moving train and
was literally cut in two. Still he
managed to call 911, wait 45
minutes for help and endure
and survive 23 surgeries.
10 Weeks In The Outback
In April 2006, 35-year-old
Ricky Megee, made it out alive
after being lost in the outback
for an incredible 10 weeks.
Apparently drugged and left
for dead by a hitch-hiker he
had picked up (though he also
claimed his car had broken
down), Megee survived by
staying close to a dam and
eating leeches, grasshoppers,
and frogs.While police and the
public had doubts about the
story, especially when it came
to light that Megee had minor
drug convictions, there’s no
question he was lost in the
outback, for whatever reason,
and lucky to have survived.
Six Times A Winner
Frane Selak might just be the
luckiest man alive. He has
survived a train derailment into
icy waters, the door blowing
off a plane he was on, a bus
crash while traveling, two cars
catching fire while he was
driving, drove off a mountain
road landing in a tree while he
watched his car continue down
and explode 300 feet below,
and if that wasn’t enough to
prove how lucky he is, he won
a million dollars lottery.
Lucky Strike
Roy Sullivan’s story will light
up your life. This electrifying
fellow has been hit by lightning
not once but seven times! On
the eighth time, the universe
missed and got his wife instead
while they were hanging
laundry. Tetra Pak even made
an ad on the story.
Two Atomic Bombs!
To survive an Atom bomb is
extraordinary, to survive two,
amazing. Tsutomu Yamaguchi
survived both Nagasaki and
Hiroshima. He is the only man
known to have lived through
both bombings.
