Where did you sat in class...?

Right.

Ok. Was watching the prime time news last night...(dont know why it's even considered prime time....must be the advertisers...anyway)

Apparently TV3 has ran out of news to be reported.
Yes. i watch mainstream media too. I read mainstream media too (The Star).
For valid reasons.
Although some quarters (mostly anti - government) called for a boycott of these Pro-government bodies, i think it's fair to have a look at it, to see and hear their POV.

So last night, apparently, TV3 ran out of "report worthy" stuff.
headline :
Teresa Kok's meal when she was detained under the ISA. Aiiyah. Nothing else to report ka...?
Cue :
1. newscaster gives a gist....of what's happening...the inside look on what she was served , during her detainment....
2. Teresa Kok gave her "explanation" on what's being said...."media misinterpreted me" she said.....
3. newscaster again, saying : "this is a snippet from what teresa Kok said last week".....in which, from my POV , the Media didnt misinterpret her at all....

Come on Teresa...please dont exaggerate....makes you look bad.
Glad you're back tho. YAY!

Wanted to write something about RPK...but it gets kinda depressing seeing the current local political scene. So. im skipping it this time around.

On a different note.

PS3 Officially on sale in Malaysia!

Wouldnt wanna queue up just to get the console type, mind you. I'm not that nuts. But it made my wonder. What would make you (or me) queue up overnight for stuff?
Last time, it was the Hello Kitties from McDonalds....then the Harry Potter books...once, when i was working at Phileo Damansara, people were queuing at The Star Tower, for free tickets to go watch Deathnote....now this PS3 lineup.

Only valid reason to get the PS3: Metal gear Solid 4.
Only Valid Reason to get the XBox360 : Halo 4 / Halo Wars .

oh yeh.

this is the last posting for this blog.

What i found on the Internet during my "5 minute time-out"

2008-09-19T10:15:00.004+08:00

How Nerdy are you...???

Well..i clicked on it..and guess what? (i dont know whether i should be proud of this....let me try it again....)

second try.....

awh fuck.

lets see how nerdy are you ? =P

Define "NERD".

Well..guess i gotta carry on wearing the shirt she gave me then...=D
Not that im complaining..!

Malaysian Superpokes....i wonder how would the animations look like...

2008-09-18T13:48:00.003+08:00

Right.

RPK held under ISA. Teresa Kok too.
Haiya. Now two of my facebook acquaintance are under police custody. Tak shiok la like this....

I think Superpoke in Facebook should be adding new "pokes" to it soon, as tribute to our friends who got arrested.
They should....cuz if they want to go global...well..i can throw Obama, McCain, Palin or even Yao Ming at anyone...Why not something related to us? Eh? Eh?

I think it's time them Superpoke developers touch Malaysia under their "Global Pokes" tab. Right?

"Kenn has DETAINED YOU UNDER ISA!" would sound waaaay cooler than "Kenn has THROWN A FLAMING BAG OF POOP at you!" ,

or

"Kenn has FILED FOR HABEAS CORPUS on your behalf!" instead of "Kenn has BAKED A CAKE for you!"

Listed below, is more Malaysian-ized Superpokes i would suggest to them Superpoke developers...

1 . ......has bribed a traffic cop with you!
2 . ......has made a dash to the LRT with you!
3 . ......has cut queue at the toll booth with you!
4 . ......has CLOSED ONE EYE with you!
5 . ......has called you a BIGFOOT!
6 . ......has called you KATAK..!
7 . ......has called you BARUA (!)
8 . ......said "BERTENANG YANG BERHORMAT....PASIR MAS DUDUK, KINABATANGAN, DUDUK...!" for you (limited)
9 . ......decided to SWAP PORTFOLIOS with you! (premium superpoke...purchase to use)
10 .......went to TAIWAN TO LEARN AGRICULTURE (and then some) with you!

the list goes on....aiyah.

Farcebook!

2008-09-12T10:28:00.002+08:00

Facebook changed their layout.My opinion?

Me likey. Looks neat. Less clutter. Easier to load up people's pages (although they have a gazillion applications added). In a word : Sleek.

Then recently i just noticed. People started ranting that they hated the new format. That it is a turn for the worse. That the new look sucks.Well, i guess you're entitled with your opinion.
If not, then i wont be able to write freely, yeh?
Well...define "freedom of speech (or writing, in that matter) with the recent ISA arrests in Malaysia. Ah well. that's a different story.

Anyway. back to the haters of the new Facebook layout.

Even opened up groups entitled " Get ten million people who hates the new Facebook account here!" or "Get Facebook back to the old format!" . And apparently people are joining it by the droves.

My take is this; if you dont like it, leave it!

and i even put it up as my stat message as
"Kenn thinks that those people who find the new Facebook layout sucks should just learn to like it, or just simply...leave it. why the fuss?"

(Lets see how many hate mail i get, or even better, so called "friends" who delete me from their list as a repercussion of my two liner there).

Right. The recent detainment (and subsequent release) of several individuals recently. My take : i trust i wont kena ISA for this. then again, it's just an honest opinion.

Went to Facebook Mobile on Friday night, then saw
"Lim is worried Op Lallang 2 has started. Teresa Kok has been arrested under ISA at abt 11.18pm." in the friends' status updates.

Aiiiyah. As to avoid my own arse getting hauled up too, lets tread with caution here eh? LOL. then again, would the Gov be targetting small time writers who write crap in their breaktime? LOL. anyway, folowing day news, shows "peaceful protesters" holding out a candlelight vigil in front of some police station (didnt catch the details, cuz i was busy being awed in the ridiculousness of the action...the candlelight vigil, not the detainment.

What are they trying to prove? These candlelight vigil attendees, i mean.Heck yeah, i too disagree with the Government. And i find the recent local scene is full of dirt.

I mean, why risk yourself, in pretense of showing support, while jeopardizing your safety and such,by sitting on the floor trying to balance the dripping candle wax?
Lets see la kan...if the police suddenly deem your little peaceful demo getting a tad too aggressive

THEY BROUGHT FLAMABLE MATERIAL! WHO KNOWS SOME ONE MIGHT BE CARRYING A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL.....???!!!!!

Kena cekup, masuk Jail, then parents or family members get heart attack cuz of your so called "action to show Makkal Sakhti" got their kid in jail beside an alleged goat fucker to the left , and a bearded transvestite to the right in the cell.

Alright. We want change. So if Anwar's Sept 16 doesn't work out, or even the Sept 20 date was just a bag of wind in the end, does it merit getting yourself in trouble?

OK.OK. Teresa Kok and Raja Petra got hauled up under an act we feel is defunct. Fine.Show your displeasure, yes. make it known.ahuh.make your presence felt! Alleluia! Let them see "BERSIH VER 2.0!" !! konon la. See

i bet most of these candle balancers are yuppies (read : young professionals)just recently got politically enlightened.
Hauled up, then who's gonna financially cover for you?
Would not it affect your future? Well, you can say "there's no good future with the current Government anyway". Point. But getting yourself hauled up...dude...that's a career kill.

What made me wonder is that, the third detainee (who was released 18 hours later). The reporter yang kena cekup? logical thinking says the person who uttered the controversial stuff should get hauled up too. or at least, the Editor who approved the story to be released. Then again, why the smallest fish who got fried? aih. Better stop. If i end up in ISA....aiiya.

Anyway, today is September 16. Remember remember the 16th September.....
RIIIIIGHT. I'll wait till tonite. Lets see if anything significant comes up.

I got this comment : my writings has since toned down , compared to my posts two years back. Aiiya. I vow to add more chilli to the writing altho it may mean more diarrhea sessions...LOL.

AH!

Was killing time watching TV that day. then this SKII advert came on. This girl's name is "Poesy LXXXXX" (surname hidden as not to further embarrass her).Poesy! Poesy! Where the hell do you get that??? Right.RIIIIIIGHT! No kidding.

Then it hit me. How do you pronounce that name by the way? I''l leave it to your imagination.

What's with "creative names" by the way?
I saw the other day, a Chinese dude, with "Zenden" as his English name. Next What? "Adebayor Chong?" . Singer "Fish Leong" (whatthefuck???!), and even, i heard of the most ludicrous name a person can think of "Lucifer". No kidding. "Lucifer Tan" in one television interview.

Saw this movie a few days back. So i think i gotta share this part....moment of madness...

Tony Jaa breaks bones!

Break them..break!

play a game here...count how many bones got broken....? !

did a blogging boo-boo...

2008-09-11T07:58:00.003+08:00

aiiyah. have to admit. Mistakenly typed "majority" instead of "minority" in my previous post. For those who noticed, sorry for the error.
For those who just noticed, well, i've rectified it, so it's no longer present.

And those who felt offended...err...sorry dei. no stoning me with uncooked potatoes, yeh...?

well if you read the whole entry and actually understood where i was heading to, it's obvious it was accidental , and purely an honest mistake,that word.

Thanks to my "Agent" (considering upgrading her to my manager...lol.hehehe. Publicist - Agent - Manager ? ) who informed me of the boo-boo yesterday evening , managed to keep the blunder to a minimum.

Ok. Last night's news reported that this Ahmad Ismail has been suspended for three years by the UMNO Council.

Yet again, in his press conference, responding to the decision,he still remained defiant that what he did was not wrong...?!!!

I know la , upholding your pride when the going gets tough, but from what i saw last night, this guy just spitted to the sky. Apa, orang Bukit bendera are all malays ka? Does he not accept that Non-Malays also play a part in ensuring UMNO's position in the local political scene for the past 51 years? Sheer arrogance, and lack of IQ this dude. Then again, good that he wont be around for the next 3 years or so....

We could do with lesser idiots roaming around shouting crap. 3 years is not long, some may say. Anwar returns to Parliament after a ten year hiatus. But this is Anwar Ibrahim . Former Deputy Prime Minister, and also former Finance Minister.

But.Who is Ahmad Ismail?It's like comparing a butter knife to a Samurai Sword.

Let him be i guess. He can talk all he wants, or with the extra time, practice on how to face a rifle carrying gunman with his Silat.
best way to handle idiots: ignore them. Heck. He's getting paranoid cuz he lost his "place" in Penang, and now even more so, when he lost his place in the party. Let him rot.fade away, Mad Dog.

NEXT

When they say, control on spending, to avoid inflation. Needless spending needs to be stopped.Spend wisely.Bla bla bla.bleurgh. Now they are sending the National Football team for a two week tour in Europe for training?????

Friggin hell! They cant even qualify for the qualifying round of the World Cup (Failed even in the Pre-qualifying round!) , and now they are wasting money to send these jokers to train there? Apa ni bang...bulan bulan puasa ni, banyak orang keluar negeri....

First those MPs to Taiwan, then these bunch of decent (damn im generous today) ball kickers to Europe. Why la, nearly 50 MPs need to go to Taiwan to learn about the latest technology in agriculture? Send them who are relevant, is enough, yes?

heck, i bet less than half of them actually understand what GMO's or Biotechnology in agriculture is.not enough exposure.aiiya.Tu la, Subscribe to discovery Channel.or if it's already in subscription, tune in to it. Myth Busters is not the only worth watching show in it, you know...?! Astro is not just about Akedemi Fantasia.
Bet they are more interested in goin golfing. Chaaiiit.

Yeah yeah, they used their own pocket money in that trip to taiwan. Who are you kidding? Gosh. Dari bazir bazir bulan puasa ni, kan baik kalau bagi derma kat rumah anak anak yatim...or at least, use la the money for other charities....

Right.

Veering to another topic :

The new NFL season is ON!

First Week top ten plays here : http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80ab4f60

I wonder what would it be like to have Malaysians playing this sport....i'm sure more helmets be popping out , if Mat Rempits decided to indulge innit...See..mat Rempits can never buckle their helmet, aye?

Sack! Helmet gone. Collision! Helmet gone. still, fun to see idiots getting battered, eh? I wonder what their team names would sound like...

(NFL : New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons ;

MFL : Gombak Gladiators, Bangsar Bengs , Brickfields Machas , Kulim Killers, Setiawan Skinners?)

Alrighty.

We have another moneybags in the EPL.

Manchester City! Whoaaa. And Thaksin is still there! Honorary president, i heard. Anyway, i cant fathom why Robinho chose City over Chelsea. this boy mabuk kot..... But i do hope, just for the sake of seeing Man Utd supporters cringe...Cristiano Ronaldo jumping ship. aha. that boy, anyway, another nutcase. LOL. Would love to see him playing in United during the "Keane -as-captain" era.

Was flipping thru some old magazines, and i saw a picture of raper 50 Cent. His tattoos! laughed seeing his tattoos, cuz, obviously, he has dark complexion. Heck. he's a negro. and the dark sort. and the tattoos look like skin diseased patches.

Honestly la kan. I really think people should not only think about the design of their tattoo, but the color plays a part too! Cuz like 50 cent's ....its like painting with black ink on a brown canvas.

And. get your priorities sorted la....one part Chinese writings, then one part, Latin (konon la!) , then another part, Maori or Samoan tribal...then another, some words. Then again, it's your body.

NEXT

Why la. Why la some people wanna be something that they are obviously not? i mean, fine. you wanna follow the latest trends or "fashion". But it puzzles me seeing Chinese (OBVIOUSLY CHINESE!) trying their level best to look Japanese or Korean, or Indian kids , trying their level best to be American Blacks. But get offended when you call them "so..you're black now huh...? "

Funny part listening using the "man" or "dude" in their conversations, but still sticking with the Indian accent...

"Dude my homies, what brings you down to da hood, la dei...?" (la, dei...?!!!)

then again. Without them, my mamak outings would be a bore.

Chris Rock : Blacks VS NIGGERS

I'm out.

Talking from his rear end....

2008-09-09T11:32:00.004+08:00

No..no not me...
I'm talking about this UMNO Assemblymen from Bukit Bendera who created quite a stir with his racist remarks, during the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign rally, and now with this unwillingness to retract, or at least mend the problem he just created.

First he call Chinese "immigrants" and "squatters" in this country...then he said his words being misquoted, and that he was referring to the time before independence.....now he's saying the Gerakan people are spinning words to do a character assassination on him.

The the whole tearing down of ex-Penang CM's pic during the news conference....aiyah....

My verdict? i dont think the Chinese (majority) are much bothered about what this mule is talking about. I think Malays should be more offended , to have a monkey yapping about, making fun of himself and painting a bad picture on Malays, although in this Puasa month,then call himself championing Malays' rights.....

BUAT MALU KAUM la you, Ahmad Ismail. I dont bother putting the "Dato" to a mule. note that.

yes. BUAT MALU KAUM MELAYU . He's a disgrace to Malays, i think.YES. i repeated that. And i believe more Malays are disgusted at him, with his conduct, than the amount of Chinese who take offense to his remarks.

Owh come on. Me offending Chinese and the Indians? No no.....

Chinese dudes, in their 20's are more concerned with getting their next Super Ah Beng Ride (Lancer Evo 8, the real ones, instead of adding cheap spoilers to Wiras or Wajas) , making money, and weekend clubbing, than going politicking. These politicians are a minority sort only.

Me? im fractionally Chinese, and i'm not really into politicking anyway. I just follow the current ongoings that's all. So being that, i also get to observe different parts of the society from an alternate view, for the fact :

1. being a bumi (on paper) , but!
2. non - muslim bumi (Christian)
3. but! National School educated; which !
4. makes me fairly proficient in Malay and English, ...and!
5. get a good understanding of different "cultures" ..cuz!
6. all my best friends are of Chinese, Malay and Indian origin....
7. PLUS! i get a good mix of the malay culture..by:
8. being the only non-muslim at one time in our rented house during Uni!
9. which i believe gives me an good insight of the real Malay ...which is :

Only a minority are like this Ahmad Ismail creep. (or prick, if you think the word is more offensive).Racist.

Well, is he a Muslim first, a Malay second, or the other way round?then why la wanna play racial card? Wait. is he a real pure Malay, by the way? or is he not one, but portraying to look and be one?

lets see what RPK has to say about that...lol ...

aih.

Then he went to say something along the lines of "Tsu Koon knows Tai Chi, but dont forget us malays also know Silat...!"

The went on warning the Chinese not to turn into what the Jews are : monopolizing the economy...?

dude! Silat vs Tai Chi : empty hand combat, enough la.
Like the Ultimate Fighting League...well, make it in a ring you two, id pay to see the No Holds barred Version of "Debat"...featuring Koh Tsu Koon for the second time running! vs you the Mad man from Penang!

BUT! Comparing Chinese to Jews? Now that's darn rude....!
Jews (lets put the Zionist here, cuz i think he was referring to them, being an airhead he is) will use rifles! Lets see how your silat fare against an AK 47!

Saw the movie "Dont Mess With The Zohan" ? go watch it.If one Mossad agent can wreck that much damage, oohhh..imagine...!

Why la wanna instill hatred ? Heck. He wants may 13th 2.0 for all i can see. Aiiya.
Too much Hollywood la this Ahmad Ismail fellor. Dont you see? Sequels rarely fare better, or even as good as the first movie! (Godfather 2 is an exception!)
So, stop this stupid drama la.

Your Sodomy Trial 2.0 tadak jadi. urm.Where is "Mr.i got butt-fucked...!not once, not twice, but 8 times!" ..? (i just made it sound like an advert caption! yay!)
Err..Saiful..can talk from rear end also meh? i bet you can even whistle!

Quiet eh?

Now that the seat in Pensiangan is empty...cant wait to see what's the new agenda to fish for votes for them Sabahan folks....Monorails throughout Pensiangan?
Oh jolly. Lets see what are the promises this time around....

Anyway...was trawling Youtube, and i saw this old advert. Thought i'd post it here just for kicks...=D

Now the title post suggested that Petronas looked down onto Malays....

Come on la dei....

well, my POV on the advert ? is that SOME Malays do take the short cut to move forward.BUT there are some who look forward to improve himself.

See? See?

aih. if everyone thinks like Pak Haji.....

In pursuit of gaining weight....and gold medals....

2008-09-02T14:22:00.006+08:00

Lookie what me found-y!

BIG MAC index

SANDWICHED

(click to enlarge)

So, people, be happy. You're paying less, for the same amount of double beef patties in between sesame seed buns!

Yes yes! assuming the the exchange rate is around 3.2-ish, we have it better here! compared to....well, most countries! YAY!

since last time, a comparison was made on petrol prices in countries which produce oil, it hit me today...Burger Economics! Big mac Index!

Simple terms how to see it, is that,
putting the US as a base, where they pay US $ 3.57 for a Big Mac. And locally, we are Paying Rm 5.50 for a Big Mac.....!

5.50 / 3.2 : 1.71...! (dats 1.70 Dollars we are paying for a Big Mac)

How cool is that? Michael Phelps can have all the burgers he wants there, and he wins 8 gold Medals in the Olympics! 8! So we must make the most of it here! 16 golds is a possibility!

And while we're at it, we can eat double the amount he's consuming, since we pay half of the actual price it's being sold compared to the ones sold in The US!

So! Eat BEEF and be merry!

I'm suggesting this diet to be implemented onto all our athletes....!

Speaking of athletes, i think giving the Datuk titles to currently active athletes are kind of over the top. I mean, i'm not undermining Nicol David's and Lee Chong Wei's achievements, but i reckon these sort of titles ought to be given after they retire, not while they are playing.

cuz i found it weird , listening to the news report on radio when it goes, "National Squash queen, Datuk Nicol David advanced to the second round of the.......".

Well.maybe its just me.

The again, every other dude nowadays is a Datuk. and I notice, in Malay Dramas, why must most of the Datuks' characters' name be either "Mansur" , or any variation sounding familiar to it? Or is it just me? Oh well.

Datuk for the show, doing Kung-Fu fighting in an advert not long after....!

Third day of Puasa, and i'm the kirim-boy already.
Kirim-boy is the term i use for people who buys food for people who are too shy to be seen buying food around this time of year...*hint hint!

Well, i dont have any problem being a kirim-boy. As a matter of fact, in uni, guys who are not fasting e.g. " unable to fast "
were like a source of additional income / free lunch!

"kenn! Are you going to McDonalds? If you are, i want a Big mac set! Dont worry, get two.One is for you! "

Change "McDonalds" and "Big Mac" to any other restaurant / menu combination, and you get the drift.

Or..."Kenn! are you gonna drop down to buy phone reloads? if you are, here's ten, get one for me too.....and here's 5...two bottles of coke....or 1 coke. you keep the change..!"

But when time to break fast comes, everyone (including Mcdonalds dude, and Coke dude) will buy their own food together, and patiently wait for the time to break fast comes......

Mind you, that altho we were the only two non muslims in the house (me and another Indian boy), time buka puasa, we must wait for the others to makan dulu.

YOU CAN EAT IN FRONT OF US ANYTIME YOU WANT, DURING FASTING PERIOD, BUT NOT! I STRESS, NOT MINUTES BEFORE TIME TO BREAK FAST.

not that we eat in public in front of our fasting friends, ok. We have tact, alrite. Dats respecting other people's culture and religion...

speaking of food to buka puasa....i have some tak puas hati with these people.
also, marketing ans sales tips!

1.
wanna make murtabak, but instead of getting them beef/mutton/chicken fillings, i get too much egg and onions! Come on! RIP OFF! Nak untung, untung la, tapi mau kopek orang jugak ke during bulan puasa?

2.
dude, if all other stalls are brimming with people, and your stall is empty, id suggest revise the price, change your location (location location location!) or try yodeling to attract customers instead. Might not bring more, but still, hell of an entertainment. Where's my camera...!

3.
see the stalls? Sate kajang? (is it really from kajang?), Penang Laksa? (riiiiight!) or Jus Chendering! (i saw this in Shah Alam). Come on. Make it more exciting , people...!Where is the creativity!

Murtabak Milley Cyrus ! Sate Federline! Laksa Tiga L! Laksa Lindsay Lohan! Ayam Percik Madonna (tick tock tick tock tick tock!)

AND! i think councils should ban any non food selling outlets in these pasar ramadans. Who la wanna buy belon ? all people concentrate is wat to makan in the next 90 minutes!

Another thing! oooh. distraction!

yesterday, had my first whiff of Pasar Ramadan (got nasik briyani, cuz murtabak stall havent open), and beside it, a VCD peddler's shop!
Now. wouldnt that be a distraction...aiih.

Mistaken for a Muslim who skipped fasting...dats normal to me. But it gets weirder once,when i went to a chinese shop, ordered PORK Noodles...then the uncle asked : "tadak puasa ka? Babi makan boleh? " *You're not fasting? err..can you take pork...?"

My answer : kalau babi tu dah mati, i boleh makan loor!
"i'll eat it if the pig is already dead!"

ignorance, or just plain misused concerned attitude?

Uh. i dont know.

I'm getting myself a Burger tonite.....

i keyed in random string of letters....seriously!

2008-09-02T09:34:00.003+08:00

Ok.

The recent Merdeka Eve..Where were you?
I was at the Sepang F1 Circuit. Watching the 12 Hour Endurance Race. Yup. You betcha. And it's for free. Free entry to the public , i tell you!

So! What did i learned from that ?

1. I instantly fell in love with the sound emitting from a Porsche's butt
2. Aston Martins are crap compared to Porsche 997s.(also known as the NEW 911 Carrera)

Wats a 997?

This is a 997

Why the heck Porsche have several names to it, i dont know. But there were several 997's racing around, and needless to say, they were the obvious leaders.

Avoided the city center. More so after seeing what's being build up in Mutiara Damansara the day before and Bukit Bintang earlier in the evening.

Needless to say, the only part im looking forward , near the 31st August in the future would be THAT endurance race. Ok ok. 70+ cars going around in circles around the track would seem weird to most people (and by saying most, i mean, mostly ladies).Not a motor racing fan, but surely a fan of Porsches. =D

Ok. I dont get the whole celebration thinggy.Well, ok. when i was younger, used to enjoy going to these "Countdown Street Gatherings/ Celebrations". Well, went twice. Thats it. Then it hit me. Not worth the hassle!

Celebrate the Independence they say. RIIIIGHT. More like doing the opposite, me thinks. My point?

Ok. remember that flip-flopping regarding Avril Lavigne's concert? Some idiots say that "approving the concert is against the Merdeka spirit, that we allow these "western cultures" to pollute the minds of our kids". OK. I disagree. cuz if these kids wanna pollute themselves, there is nothing PAS can DO!

Distributing fliers, discouraging the ticket holders from the concertm outside the approved concert : DUDE! DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING A DISSERVICE TO THE ENVIRONMENT? I dare say that less than 5% people actually read that crap, which means you've wasted a good, 4-6 rims of paper, and, made a fool out of yourselves.

2. What's the chance of a person , who bought the RM 200+ tickets gonna get swayed from entering? pakai hotak la....!

Anyway, i'm just wondering, why, cant these organizers, who make these Street celebrations cant work together to make it a cost effective thinggy?

Cuz on Sunday, they were harping on the issue that the Gov have managed to stage this year's parade, with less than half compared last year's Independence Day celebration expenditure cost! less than 30% they say!

Wow. I have ideas on how to even lower that, sir!

Question :
1. How many thousand flag waving school kids do you need?
2. how many times do we need flyovers by them fighter jets? that one, plus the rehearsal days.....urm..dats quite a lot.
3. How many days of rehearsal do you need, anyway?
4. the countdown thing, how many spots do we need, that fire up fireworks at stroke of midnight? The Curve PJ got one (surely, right?), KLCC also got one, then Merdeka Square got one, then Bukit Bintang also......
but wait.

Are we in different timezones? OKOK. The Curve is in PJ, so it's quite far. so need its own Firework display la.

But why can just make one, to save cost?

Then, the normal "interview on unsuspecting tourist attending the parade" thing on TV.
OH! THIS IS GREAT! THEY NEVER HAVE THIS WHERE I COME FROM! THE COLORS! THE PEOPLE...SO DIVERSE!

try asking a dude working at the private sector, who attends the parade....wait....it's like searching for a needle in a hay stack. But i can guess what's their answer gonna be like :

Reporter : Sir, What do you think of our national day celebration program this year?

"Tiu la! kata talak luit pachjet kasi subsidi itu petlol, ini kasi baziur luit bagi itu celebrate....tulun 15 sen mana cukup....!"

"Bukan nak kata ape le kan, tapi, kan baik kalau duit belanja ni dibuat subsidi atau pinjaman....?!, jadi, kita dapat la jimat lebih! tak payah cakap 30% ke, 50% jimat banding tahun lepas!"

"me? oh no. I'm just here cuz my company got the contract of ********************* (fill in yourself) for this celebration.Easy money, man!"

Spend more, save more?
or....

Save More! Cuz it's much lesser than Last year's Outrageous expenditure....?
or....

Save! just dont spend on unnecessary stuff!

OK. That's done.

Puasa Month, people, and i'm starting , and finishing work early.
So does everybody else. So leaving early means nothing. Gaah.

A question i got from a friend (revised)regarding the commercialization of the Puasa Month.

As i understand, fasting is a way of abstinence from worldly stuff. Practicing moderation, and control. Also to remind us of them people who dont have food, and have to starve. Sort of a month to go mellow.

BUT! AFTER 7, buka Puasa time, BUFFET! ALL YOU CAN EAT! RAYA MEGA SALE!

err...what ever happened to reasonable spending? Isnt it Ironic?
I bet if Alanis Morisette saw this, she'd add
"Fast for the day, binge in the evening....!" into her song "Ironic".

Ah well. Still i'll make the most of it. Gonna grab that Murtabak in Shah Alam ...woooot woot!

Like the Astro advert: Macam Macam Ada!

2008-08-25T08:56:00.003+08:00

OK!

I have to start this blog with this...

LOS LOBOS - LA BAMBA

soy capitan...soy capitan.....
i bet Datuk Anwar's singin to that tune.LOL.

Last Friday, 22nd August...almost choked when i read in The Star that the PM took the public transport to work.
Wow. "Setting aside protocol they read.Experience the public transportation woes, it read again. Whoaaaa....

but the thing that i want to point out is that, Dear PM, to really feel what public transport is like, i'd suggest you take the 6.00p.m Komuter train, leaving KL, from the KL Sentral Station.I would also like to suggest taking the Seremban route. AHA. Better still, try boarding it from the Mid Valley Station.
Now. that's a better way to "experience" it, aye?

OK!
Avril Lavigne's concert is A GO!
Not particularly excited, cuz im not a fan of her music. then again, is she worth paying several hundred ringgits for her concert? me thinks not.
One time, stop, then allow....
Flip-flop again. (not flimflam...that's a diff case...=P)

And what's with this sumpah-sumpah la. Tak baik sumpah sumpah, tau.
Does swearing means you're innocent?
me thinks not. Cuz if it is, well, then the court and justice system in malaysia has failed (if it hasnt already).

Kill someone, then swear "I DONT KNOW THAT MODEL!" , then face the consequences of going to hell (or anything relevant according to the BIG DUDE's judgement), if you lied.
Then again, wats the worse can you get as the "punishment" for falsifying your oath, when you already committed a bigger crime in murder earlier?

Putting in a more down to earth (we are small people, see) , wats the worse you can get, if you got charge for illegal parking a stolen car, if you've already committed Grand Theft Auto earlier? Boggles the mind.

use hot oil. both parties dip their hands innit. The innocent one will not get fried. God will intervene, right? But dont use Gamat oil though. That's no fun.

Tune into the TV, and all i get is bias reporting.NAY. CAMPAIGNING by the TV Stations. I wonder if the campaigning happens during fasting month. Lesser reports? Cuz...its not advisable to LIE a LOT during Ramadan? Yeah right. like they would adhere to that.

ANYWAY! Anwar won. YAY! bigger majority! YAY! (although, i was sceptical at first , predicting a win, albeit below the 13 000 majority....i apologize for my pessimism)
So what's next? 30 MPs to cross over? kita tunggu dan lihat.

Last post related to the Olympics. Saw the closing ceremony snippet from the news, and wow. Kinda wasteful, aint it?
I mean, at least half of the China population are living on, or below the poverty line, and we get all these over the top "celebrations". Just think its better spent on food. Beijing Olympics. Pah. Congrats for the sport, but after all the scandals brought up (miming kids! fake fireworks!), it kills the mood.

Oh yeah. I tried logging into www.malaysia-today.net, and apparently, it's blocked...by TM Net. No points for guessing why. So. The new link, for those who cant log into it, is here

p.s. however, i think overseas people can still go to it with the old link. Its only blocked for viewers in Malaysia.The irony. Malaysians cant view Malaysia-today.Net.

right. new football season is up and running!!!!!
So i hereby declare my affiliations for the next 10 months or so...

Liverpool FC (since 1996!). - English Premier League
Robbie keane looks like a flop already. Hope im wrong here....
Can we win it? (well, been asking the same question year in, year out...but id rather we win the ECL ..!)

AS Roma - Italian Serie A
This season? top 3 hopefully....

Valencia - Spanish Premiera Liga
Dont sell David Villa....no no.....Improvement from last season, finish top 4 in the league!

Atlanta falcons
new Quarterback - Matt Ryan ....
err..just do better than 4-12 yeh?

okok.cant watch NFL on Astro (cuz viewing time clashes with working time), and i definitely cant play (the idea of having a 200 pound linebacker spear -tackling me .....err.....cuz if i do play, id choose play the HB role (running back) role. so there. lining myself for tackles.)

so, NFL.com feeds me with the stuff.
just a gist wat its all about : Randy moss : top Receiver last season, New England Patriots

http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d805b04d4

or...

in case you prefer running..imagine wat Usain Bolt can do here...

http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d8060332f

usain Bolt : change of career?

2008-08-22T10:39:00.006+08:00

Ok ok.

Usain Bolt a.k.a Thunderbolt is officially the fastest man alive. Breaking Michael Johnson's 12-year 200m record is one thing, but obliterating his opponents in the 100m final a few days earlier, while breaking the world record by 0.03 seconds was phenomenal.

While i enjoyed seeing him dashing through the finishing line, and witnessing his superhuman feat,and his hilarious post race poses, it hit me...Where do you draw the line , to distinguish celebrating from showboating, and insulting your opponents?

The IOC president Jacques Rogge criticized the Jamaican Bolt, for unsportmanship behavior.

Well, yeah. We all understand that the euphoria you get when you win. But at that level, you'd expect a more professional behavior from him, aye? Past winners will celebrate, but not before congratulating each other, instead of Bolt's stupid "lap of honor" while posing with his shoes.

And! thumping his chest before the finishing line, and still break the world record. Aye. Impressive. then again, childish! Reminds you of Sports Day in school, when the cockiest kid is leading the pack, and goes with a "ne-ne-ne-ne-neeeehhhh...i'm faster than you are!...!" act.

Disrespecting opponents. Sorry.Bolt may have won my approval of the fastest man on the planet. But i bet he just lost respect not only mine, but from quite a number of people too. People who see sports more than just winning.

I mean come on! Show some class! Yelling " I Am No.1!!!" repeatedly onto the TV screen. Err...ok. We just saw that..
ok.ok.he's only 22.

Want to celebrate after a dash? i'd suggest Bolt to join the NFL.
Touchdown, and do it there. in fact, i think the NFL encourages it. You get to do your jig all you want. But not in athletics, me thinks.

Chad Johnson : Cincinnati Bengals . Can Bolt top that???

And speaking of his shoes, the one he was parading and posing with, i bet the Puma people are patting themselves on the back. Make no mistake, people, those are Pumas. not Nikes.

PUMA would agree,but to Nike, Adidas and Reebok....OVERKILL!

And....

Eat YAM! and RUN fast!

Apparently taro makes you a speed demon. whoahaha...

So. More records to come? i certainly hope so from this Bolt dude. But please....please tone down on the over the top celebrations....i have had enough of watching Cristiano Ronaldo showboating, with triple crossovers, before doing a simple direct short pass....

Repeat that , and Usain Bolt will lend up as merely a winner, not a champion. That's the only way i can see it.

Bucket full of trinkets !

2008-08-20T10:37:00.004+08:00

Ok.

After nearly two years, i finally amended that skew on the banner, and changed it altogether! 2 years! 2 years!

Latest issue that got everyone excited....no no...not Olympics, about Lee Chong Wei's Silver medal, nor Usain Bolt's double World Record breaking feat in sprinting events in track and Fields events, nor the Permatang Pauh by-election, Saiful Bukhari's butthole, his swearing on the Quran that he was buggered, nor that the cancellation of Avril Lavigne's concert.

It's about the decrease in petrol price per litre, from the current RM 2.70.
The PM said that once the global crude oil price per barrel is reduced, so will the local petrol price. Then , it was US$ 147 per barrel. Now, the current price per barrel stands around US$ 115 per barrel.

The news on radio already told that the new price will come into effect on the 1st Sept 2008. (considering that the new price will be mentioned on the 31st August).

so..will we see any blur case mangkuks who rush to the nearest petrol station, them idiots who fills up their tanks every time they hear"Petrol Price Change!"...?
Anything is possible.
But i bet we'd see more and more people with their cars stalled by the roadside, cuz they refuse to purchase petrol with the old price, close to the 1st Sept date... Absurd sounding maybe. But i wont be surprised with some kiasus doing that.

Then again, what about the yearly rebate money the government decided to give to car owners? Will that one be scrapped too? i mean, last time, they said it is done to ease the burden.

RM 625? heck, that's an average of RM 52.09 per month!that hardly fills up three-quarters of the tank! Then again, its money. I want my money!

anyway..will they pull that back? and if they do, what about them people who are not eligible to get the rebate, cuz their road tax do not need renewal within the span, meaning, have not redeemed the rebate money? Will the amount given out be amended accordingly? huh?huh? I havent gotten my share, cuz i renewed my road tax last January. Gaah.

Berapa mau turun? back to RM 1.92? Lower? Slightly over RM 2.00?

Wait.

Take several factors (why, when, what for, how, who)and id bet what's remaining of my dog, that the price wont be lowered more than 30 cents. Do i hear "Election Ploy" anyone? Better still "half-cooked, half-past-six, Populist Move" .....?

Anyway, people are playing the guessing game of the new petrol price per litre after August 31st. Im guessing it's around RM 2.50 per litre. Just a wild guess...=D. Mark this page.LOL.

Ah yeh.

Sidetrack, in the previous post, i said that only Christians swear on the Holy Book (the Bible). I take that back.My Bad. The swearing on the Holy Book is only done in Western countries, in court only. And i think it's hardly practised now even. (please clarify if you have any additional info)

"I swear to tell the truth and the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God,". That's what we use to see in dramas. Variations show the character placing his right hand on the book (bible) , or raising his right hand, palm facing outwards.

Kinda hypocritical, i think, cuz the Second Commandment (of the Ten) says that;

"You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name."

or

"Thou shalt not use the name of God in vain"

Which roughly translated to the prohibiting against swearing in the name of God.

So , instead of going "AWW MY GAWD!!!!! (OMG!!!)","Jesus Christ!" or "GOD!" , improvised version, similar effect, but diverted meaning, goes "Gosh!" , Jeez!" and "Oh Dear...!"
Dont break the rule, just bend it. ahaha.

So, in my opinion, the swearing on the book is not a religious action.
(well, im not the BEST example of a Catholic, then again, i know my faith)
Beats me what the Ulamaks think of this Saiful Bukhari's action.We have a court, so why la need to do all this swearing?

By the way,I have this playing on repeat in my head....

Coldplay : Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

And...i have this niggling feeling wanting to watch Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 again...
aih...

nevermind...thanks to Youtube...=D
One of my favorite parts in the movie
TWO! Samurai Sword wielding women, great soundtrack, and Lucy Liu! ....woot woot...=D. ok. i think its because of that Kimono. =D

And!

Mass brawl, Quentin Tarantino style!

Insignificant things.....

2008-08-18T10:16:00.004+08:00

Baaaack.

Was in Johor for the past half week. Work stuff. Anyway, time to catch up.

Almost 4 and a half hour drive trip to Johor, what to do?
Play spot the speed cam!

and ! and! we were assisted with the GPS!

I dont know about your GPS, but this GPS we were using were able to detect RF signals. and since Speed cams emit RF signals, and sending info to satellite,same case with the GPS we were using, it "catches" these signals, and inform us of any adjacent cameras.

Remember in a previous posting when i said, beware of fly overs, as them speedcams are placed underneath it?
Now they are using telco towers, lamp posts and even trees to mount them cameras!

OLYMPICS!

alright, alright. Lee Chong Wei got obliterated last week. Then all the people who were lauding for him to win the gold before, end up as saying " balik kampung la!" or " buat malu je!" ,

although he only lost the finals, in the Olympics, against the world no. 1, who is a Chinese from China, playing in Beijing, in the Beijing Olympics!

I saw the match at a mamak shop, and there was this lady (who i believe couldnt run two complete laps of a badminton court - that bad!) was cursing Chong Wei. "Pergi mati la KAU!, Cina bodoh" she shouted at the TV set. Although she was earlier supporting the "MALAYSIAN" when the game was just starting.
Then it hit me....

for non-malays in Malaysia, the only time you will end up as close as you can get to being an "equal" Malaysian, if when you present yourself to the chance of providing something to the country. Heck, after this, Chong Wei will just be another "Ah Pek" who is RM 300,000 richer, dats all.

win international recognition, tournaments, or anything in that bracket, you are a Malaysian. and when u fail, or do not be in the bracket, you are either a bumi or non bumi. (malay or non malay, to be perfectly clear) .

commit a crime, and if ure a bumi from peninsular, they will report along the lines of "the suspect from (insert place here)".

If a non-bumi perpetrator , and you'll get " the suspect, from Sabah / Sarawak/ of (insert ethnicity here) was caught....."

worse, if indian or chinese : "the chinese / indian suspect was found guilty...!"

what i'm saying is, 51 years of "Merdeka" (more like getting, instead of fought for)
, and we still get this racial segregation shit.

Would Malaysia win more medals if we are hosts...?

A friend asked me " If Michael Phelps can win 8 golds, how come it's so hard for us to win 1 gold medal...? "

Ouch.
Coffee talk solution!
A.K.A the Malaysian way!

Bid for the Olympics,when we are hosts, lump in them sports we are sure-fire bet for a medal.... put in batu seremban, kejar-kejar teng-teng , and guli (wait, we might lose here)into the list of events.

Squash....! Nicol Ann David has a huge chance if it is featured, then again, she might not. Bowling...errr...still can?

But it's not that simple. See, according to the Olympic Charter, prior to the games, countries with affiliations to the IOC (International Olympic Committee) will have to put into a vote on the sports that they feel is required or want to include into the games.

So, sports in which only several countries are good in e.g Squash , wont get enough votes to secure the placement of the sport in the upcoming games.

Lets put it this way ; a country that is not good in Squash will most probably not vote, or vote against it in the selection process. Aye? so you get the drift. Why some sports that Malaysia are good in, will never see the light of the Olympics.

Moving on.

When the Selangor CM said that 10% of entries into UiTM to be given to non-Malays, some quarters go berserk. Ok.Im carrying a blowtorch really close to a gunpowder mound here. but then again, if you are that good, then why fret over your chances of entering an institution of higher learning?

If you can afford, then why take up space in a place where people with limited financial sources are vying for? Not only malays are poor. there are chinese and Indians who could use the benefit of affordable education.
Heck. Go to UiTMs, and you'll see them rich kids driving import cars.

Then these kids end up demonstrating in front of the office of the Selangor CM.
wait. i thought rallying is un-Malaysian, yeh? oh right. You guys are against the opposition coalition.

And, the recent Swearing on the Quran by the guy who alleged that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sodomized him.
Ok ok. Im not a muslim, and me talking about the action being legitimate is akin to Lindsay Lohan preaching against Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol. BUT! i thought swearing on the Holy book is only practiced by Christians. True? In them courtrooms. And. They cant say Prophet Muhammad did the same, cuz when he was alive, the Quran was still "in compilation" , or havent existed yet,...agree...? I may be wrong here, so if i am, please point it out.

Why not do it the Melaka Sultanate era way?
DIP IN BOILING OIL????!!!!
Apparently (if my limited memory in form 3-5 History serves me well), if you are innocent, your hands wont get fried.....ooohhh...id pay to see it live!
Fried banana stall operators will make a bee line to provide the wok, ensuring mass media coverage of their Goreng Pisang gerai.

Hate it or loathe it, Malaysia tanah tumpah airku...!err....
As the classic saying goes...
Hujan Emas di negeri orang , Hujan Batu di negeri sendiri , lebih baik di negeri sendiri
(raining money in other countries, hail storm in your own country ; better to stay in your own country)

well, a tinge of patriotism there, surely.
But that's plain darn stupid, dont you think?
What are you gonna pay your dented car repairs with then? frozen water????!

Still..Malaysia. Shit and all. You know we love you...(*cough *cough!)

Remember this advert?

Rant day!

2008-08-06T14:46:00.003+08:00

RANT DAY!

Ok. im gonna list down stuff dat i absolutely abhor, despise and if i could, wipe it out of existence.

1. Clowns! And not just the normal circus typed clowns. these are the types that make animal balloons!

2. Smokers in stairways! The smoke stays in the place, and it sticks to your shirt!

3. squatting toilets, when u really really gotta take care of your business.....

4. non working toilet pumps after going through your business on squatting toilets!

5. small change returned....

6. tailgaters! See how you catch me now, fucktard!

7. Fist-clenchers....you know, them kind of people who clenches their fist, with a "pull down" motion on every single "accomplishment"...? followed with a half-hearted "YES!"....watch basketball : cheap basket in "Yes!"...watch football...successful dribble : "Yes!"....overtook that car in the barely moving traffic jam : "Yes!"

8. chain letters. Marked with "IMPORTANT! READ THIS PLEASE, OR YOU PET TORTOISE WILL DIE FROM CANCER!".

Right. i Spy with my little eye (yeah right)...something beginning with an "I"
....IDIOT!

Avril Lavigne coming over for a concert. The Pemuda PAS getting jumpy How jumpy? well click here to go to their page .

I mean ....come on! If you feel offended, then dont go pay a few hundred bucks to watch it, aye?

What has "menghargai pengorbanan nenek moyang ketika memperjuangkan kemerdekaan tanah air bukannya dengan memanggil waris penjajah untuk mengajar anak-anak muda menjadi 'beruk' moden yang terkinja-kinja tanpa hala tujuan" got to do with Avril Lavigne?

Focus on some other pressing issues, wont you? Like incest among old pakciks towards their grandkids, rempits, corruption, backdoor entries etc???

If Avril lavigne coming over will "pollute" the minds of Muslims, then why dont just label the concert "HARAM" , then?

Easy right? then the Malays wont get to go to the concert. Let the non-malays indulge in the "immoral" activities, aye? The word "Haram" is enough to deter them, yes?

See a pork selling stall, they wont enter the shop! And and! they steer clear of the non-halal section in supermarkets! wow! evasion tactics! ahh...very religious...! the term "non-halal" or haram does work.

Then again, liquor is haram. but jump into any club in KL...you'll find 50% of the patrons are Malays which happen to be Muslim (wait..this is Malaysia!) downing alcohol more than people who are actually allowed in their religion to do so!

heck. id be beaten by any clubbing malay dude in drinking, honestly. Either i am that bad, or gee...since when liquor is Halal ??

"nemmaind la...as long-es they donno..!"

Well, yeh. I do agree, that Ms. Lavigne is not the best role model for teens.
Shit. i think she is trash. trailer park trash. and her music sucks even.

Id support you guys if your call to ban the Avril lavigne concert for "anti-noise pollution" and bad fashion sense (kenn talking fashion! now that's something! even i think her dressing is kinda stupid)

and and! i think the singer who shows her middle finger the most, me thinks.
kinda stupid i think. you want one? i think Ms Tiffany contestants in Thailand would be glad to donate not one, but a bucketful of their appendages to you!

"i aint got one...!"

then again, kids nowadays know the sign in primary school even. So what? i bet they didnt learn it from Ms Avril lavigne.yes?

Dear friends at Pemuda PAS....if ure offended, turn around, and watch Dora the Explorer, ok? Pocket will get them money in due time.

Why Dora the explorer?That's less offensive.much less.Compared to Bob the Builder, it has a heavy Guitar riff to the theme song. not good for sensitive ears.

So if these kids wanna spend a couple hundred bucks to watch an over hyped concert, let it be. The entertainment tax will somehow rather be channeled to your funds also, right?

Same as alcohol. or beer. sin tax, gambling taxes etc..all from immoral activities from non-muslim activities all go to some fund , right? which in the end, goes into your pocket....

Duit halal ke tu...?

kanye West said "touch the sky..!"

id say, dont spit to the sky!

Random wisdom of an almost 24 year old....listen, boy...listen....

2008-07-31T12:11:00.003+08:00

Right. Last year i had this post put up. and ....
nearly a year down the road, this is the upgraded (well, maybe improvised, but brand new) version.....

So.Here it goes.

Bring spare change.Preferably in coins.You'll never know when you are short of a mere 10 cents from having to "break" that 50 ringgit note. RM 49.90 , although is just 10 cents less than a round up RM 50, it gets spent 3 times (at least ) faster than you do , with a RM 50 in hand. Trust me.

Be honest. you'll never know the dude in front of you may turn out to be your girlfriend's dad, or even worse, eldest brother. Lie. You'll never know when an alibi can be handy. Wear the " I am...." tagline upon introducing yourself, and cheapen your image, much more than it already is. Talk about property investment.Nice. but detailing every single bit of it makes you sound a LITTLE bit TOO pretentious. Talk about your pay. Kills any visual trace of you impressing the girl. Then again , unless she's after your wallet, not you.

A bit on social networking sites....

Be obsessive with appearing on ALL of your Facebook / Friendstar/ Myspace friends's Wall, but bitch about it when they dont reply to your comments. The reason? here's a tip : Get a life. They have theirs already.A reply is never necessary.
Jumping into other people's Wall conversations ? Not cool. Start one.Wait. they dont reply to your comments.ahaha!
This includes picture comments, where you were never included or not in anyway related in the first place.

5000 friends? Riiiight....i bet you keep every single number available in the yellow pages in your phonebook too, aye?

Use "Pink Cutie Angle Pie" as your profile name.Right.Arent your parents proud.
Better, shortening your parents name? LOL.
Surely (MIGHT) make it sound cool, but imagine if your kids do the same in "shortening" your name, cuz the second part of your name makes it sound kinda.nay.really 1980's.

Im done with that one.

Blog with superbly bombastic languages, just to make your posts sound and reflect you as being intellectual. But respond to your comments with words indicating a total opposite of you."Leeehhh", "Looorrrr", "Maaaaahhhhhh"...!

Visit bookstores.Buy books.read books.It is not nerdy.
It pays to have a membership account.Not the bookstore. Not the library. I meant at the cinema. Gets you seats easier.
Still, enter bookstores just to "appear" smart. And end up reading "Hot Magazine" and "OK" at the magazine store, and tell your friends "i'm at the bookstore checking out new reading material"....!

Notice clubbing pictures?
Well, fun time is worth capturing, but identical poses with different drinks in all of it, doesnt mean you can drink, it means the club have various glasses!
barely legal to drink bragging downing a bottle of vodka? come here boy. I have a tank full of petrol for you. Wanna get high? Lit a ciggie by it, and you'll go sky high.

Dont rush to grow up. Enjoy the moment. then again, dont grow up. Growing old is not by terms of days you are living. It's how fast your cells can replicate and replace the dead ones. Younger people's cells replicate faster.well, not younger. Healthier people, i meant. So go ahead.
guzz them vodka or Cordon Bleu to impress the chick across the hall. High yet? Yes? good. She's your brother's girlfriend! Gotcha!
In the end, you'll die young out of liver function failure. At least, you get something in similarity to James Dean. No ..not the looks.nor the charm, hair or the car.You died young.

Q :Welcome to Shell/Petronas/Esso/Caltex/BhP, sir, how may i help you???
R :you can start by filling up my car!!!! wait. All petrol stations in Malaysia are self service ones. Then why are these operators hiring Bangladeshis and Pakistanis to hang about the station? by the pump? Guard the fuel hose?

Release your foot from the accelerator upon reaching flyovers on highways. Traffic police with speed cams are "camping" there.
Pay for the car behind you at the toll booth.It's karma. You'll get your turn..=) on a more expensive toll, in fact! Best done at cheaper "50cents" toll, not them Kerinchi Link 2 ringgit ones. LOL.

Listen to a song for the lyrics, not the beat.
Follow an artist for their stand...?
Example : Black Eyed Peas who went singin "Where is the loooooovveee.....!" when they first came out.
then followed by singing

"As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity..."

Gives you a sense of "Hip Hoppers with a sense of world awareness and down to earthiness" , yeh?

the few songs down the road, they went
"Humps , Bumps and Lumps"
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump!
and they are the ones championing values? Aiih.
Pay mega bucks to watch some corny rock band performing "live" in their "concert". What do you get? Miming, dude.They dont make good music anymore. We want Coldplay and Oasis!

call yourself a man, but stab people from the back?
Act tough, but end up name calling, at the most...

Any forms of "status message" is akin to a public memo. Everyone reads it. And writing it in a different language that does not contain any letters from A to Z is not a memo.

Smart people react. Stupid fucktards "act" like they react. While throwing a "side dish" story into it. Dude, it's the oldest trick in the book.If your friends can see it, what makes your boss cant see what you are doin?

Lie, and lie some more, and wonder, why people are actually avoiding you. Or worse, stop talking to you? So so is not an answer. its a classic showcase of your indecisiveness. it is either good or bad!
Say definitely correct, and tell me, what is not definitely correct, then? it is either Correct, or Wrong! i wonder where announcers get their English lessons.

You find me an idiot who tries to fill up RM40 worth of petrol into this 110cc bike, and i'll give you a guy who cant "SHHPEAKKA THE ENGREESH" but copies and paste several bombastic captions into one helluva pipe fuckin sentence.

Speak your opinion on stuff, but only when you have any bearing in it. Speak of politics, if you must. But do you know who is your local representative? Ahhaa...it's akin to have a non driving person, but complaining about the recent fuel hike. Kid, you dont even drive. And even if you do, pay your petrol from your own pockets first, before joining "1 gazillion Malaysians against the recent fuel hike".

Eat corn, but keep a toothpick nearby. Eat durian with coke, and have a paramedic nearby too. Better, try doing it when u are nicely seated in the ambulance.
Say BOOM in an American airport, and you'll be deported to Cuba! Guantánamo Bay!
See..? who says air travel is getting more expensive? a BOOM means you get a free flight to Cuba!

Sure sure. Hair bleaching is alright. it's in the fashion, anyway. but i reckon balding being a permanent "IN" thing for you also in the future, aye?
tattoo! I thought of getting one once. Then again, for what occasion? Think twice.thrice.awh heck. its your bod.Just dont do a Steve O style tattoo.
Remember Michael Scofield? the dude with the full body tattoo in prison Break? Notice how he wears long sleeved shirts all the way? Even in FUCKINHOT Cuban prison!

Read the paper. I mean the newspaper!And the main issues stuff. not hook up straight to the cartoons!And at least get in touch with the front page.
Surely avoid yourself from being the idiot who went "WHHHATTTT??? ANWAR gonna contest in PERMATANG PAUH....????? WHEN DID THEY RELEASE HIM....??????" .

Or another classic case, of an idiot who is totally clueless (real story)but berlagak so darn clever, jumped into the election brouhaha, just so that he is "in" the current topic being discussed, a few months back, asked a friend "So how la you voted...???like this ahhh...? " (notice the "how" , not "who" ?)
Accompanied by the nike "swoosh" symbol in the air. Now now. Any stable minded, young adult in Malaysia knows you mark your vote with a huge "X". And mister
How do you deduce this stupidity? :

1. He doesnt vote
2. Even if he did, it wouldnt matter!

Goes to show, money cant buy brains.
But it could buy you a degree...which in turn, make you look like you've got brains...so, people.Sign up, and get a free laptop!

Fake your accent to sound like a Brit, Aussie or French even.
Then again, you're still a Malaysian!
Dont be surprised. They might end up saying " Boleh cakap Melayu tak?" to you instead. How come a Malaysian who spent 3 months in Australia, can sound more Aussie than Steve Irwin...? or in that fact, even few months in Australia can change your standard "Hello" to "Har-leeei"...? dig dig! mwahahaha....

use "LOL" and "ROFLMAO" in chat lines, for all i care;it saves typing time.But actually saying it out in normal, verbal conversation....?err..think again!

"Heyy..i saw that mat rempit bike ramming into a bull....!LOL....!Ro-fel-mau [ROFLMAO] i tell you!le-mau [LMAO], le-mau [LMAO]...ahaha.....double dot close bracket [ :) ] "

for God's sake, you're Malaysian. And when asked, what's your political view, you said you're either a Republican or a Democrat???? Fucktard.
Its either Barang Naik, Pakat Ramai-ramai, or Pangkah NIKE (swoosh!).

American spelling, yes acceptable!honor! color! diarrhea!pajamas! =P
American political affiliations? ahaha. how well do you know Obama? i mean, come on. Sure he may have the charisma. No credit taken from him. But we all fell for the "Pak Lah" : good , clean guy image when Tun Mahathir handed over the country (literally) to him, remember?

lastly: follow up from the older post : fuckability counts.
Insecure fucks tend to give hand signals in pictures. "PEACE" sign is no longer significant. id rather see the "Kawaii -1-10" hand signals instead of the dreaded "PEACE" sign. Worse, making people's bunny ears. This aint 1992!
Rock signs are passe. Unless you dont have the fingers between your pointy finger, and your pinkie. dats just sad. How are you gonna be an effective sign language interpreter?

Go to Coffee Bean. And order for cream on top of your ice blended. it is free.
Go to Starbucks. and get charged RM 1.00 for your cream . Then again, support it. You'll never know when the outlet's gonna close shop, and be reopened in Timbuktu.

Go to FAST FOOD restaurants, and act like you are dining in a 5 star restaurant; end up with spit on your cheese burger.

DO NOT EVER MESS WITH THE DUDE RESPONSIBLE IN PASSING OR PREPARING YOUR FOOD.

Saw this Arabian dude.
(i'm not racist, ok, just the dude, and people who tend to be the picky ones, are of Arabian origins - no kidding! i had like 3 separate situations where these buggers really stretched their ringgit.look. I dont give a damn about how "strong" your oil money currency is, but in Malaysia, your RM 10.00 is just as "useless" as my very own red note)

Place : KFC
Took ages to order cheesy wedges with no cheese sauce on it,the family platter (i dont want wings, and i want all the chicken freshly fried, but no oily!), the Zinger burger , without the cheese, coleslaw, but not with the carrot in it, the mashed potato , but i dont want the sauce!

the fucktard later came over to ask them to "remove" the cheese! that bloody strip of cheese on his Zinger!

Drink your coffee. Caffeine is good.All fails, take coca cola.
Also try Thai Red Bull. i heard it knocks you DEAD!

Eat your vege. (WHAT THE HELL is "Beet"...?)

drink coffee again.

suck in the air. be grateful you're alive.....

and...set your clocks 30 minutes early. beats being late...=D

My tarantulas!

2008-07-29T09:01:00.014+08:00

Im gonna divert a bit from normal writing, instead, gonna post them latest pics of my tarantulas.....YAY!

Owe them a spot here (havent posted any of them this year, yet!)

Used to have 11, now down to 7. Looking for more, if the right species comes around! =). Been keeping them tarantulas with my bro, almost 2 years (or more) now. We started with one, then 3, then at one time, there were 11! naturally seevral died cuz of unexplained causes. (sexual deprivation, i think - cuz they are all matured, but no nookie, all got frustrated!) SO! i just wanna share the latest pics of my babies!

All pics taken by me, so feel free to cekup if u want. No royalties. =)
just want to spread the word.

Also, visit www.mtsociety.com for more info. Log into the forum for extra discussions (and EXTRA means A LOT!)*im "lordleandre" there by the way.

Chromatopelma Cyanopubescens "Carlsberg" (Green Bottle Blue tarantula) (MALE)

Notice the shrunk butt "raisin" . So fed it with fish last weekend. Look closer, and you can see them fish between the fangs. Liquefies the whole fish. Does not leave any trace of bone! Should try catching some cicak. see what happens....hmmm...

This one's a serial webber, by the way. Webs like hell, tears it down soon after, and remodels its home again. Pretty active. First tarantula (my first one), or fifth in our (me and my brother's collection)

Brachypelma Smithi (Mexican Redknee tarantula) (MALE)"J-Z"

The one you've most probably seen the most all your life, and grew to stereotype how tarantulas suppose to look like. One of the nicest colored ones....(still, my fav is the top one here!)
Docile species, but has these really itchy hairs from it's butt. (it releases it occasionally around the enclosure;its a habitat thinggy) One contact, and you'll end up scratching like mad for the next 2 hours.
Notice the huge butt? Putting it on a strict diet for now....sheesh. Pretty sluggish , compared to the "Carlsberg" above (who's walks around A LOT!), guess that's why it "burns its fat" faster.

Brachypelma Schroederi
(unnamed)(unsexed)
This is a rapid growing one, i think it's also a relatively new species. Was kinda ugly at first (all brownish)...then it moulted (change skin) recently, it turned into JET BLACK! Grew to the current size (4 inch ) in less than a year. Nice one. Heavy eater. Fun to watch it hunting for crickets. Tend to be moody at times, tho....
The white part is not tarantula shit. it dug the soil deep. leaving the base empty.

Grammastola aureostriata (chaco goldknee)"Chacks!" (MALE!)

The biggest one in my collection, full legspan touching almost 7inches (legspan means measuring from one end of a stretched leg to the farthest one). Notice the Angle of Death? Not exactly like the one in Hellboy 2, then again, its something to decorate the house. ehehe....adds the killer look, yes? =P

Brownish, with golden stripes on the knees. Seen places selling these buggers seriously overpriced. This one walks around a lot. Kept in the biggest enclosure, and it sometimes go upside down. crazy. Eats like hell.Really docile too!

Brachypelma Vagans "Red Rump tarantula". (i think) (unnamed yet)
Not the most photogenic of the tarantulas, pretty jumpy this one. Digs a lot. (unsexed)

Brachypelma albopilosum (Curly hair tarantula) - No name yet, but since the curly hair resembling pubic hair, lets call it "Puby" (unsexed)

Eats like hell, hell of an appetite. Luvs digging too, luvs staying hidden in the soil. Really really docile. Almost paralysis state. Go ahead, prod, push, or whatever, it wont budge. Except for when it "detects" something to eat (how it differentiates, i dont know!), it gets all aggressive. Did a timing, the crickets live the shortest in his area...ahaha.A close second would be Carlsberg, who gets pretty angry when the "food" destroys its webbing.ehehe...

and lastly (but not least)

Acanthoscurria geniculata (Brazillian White Knee) (unsexed)

Notice the bald butt? It "flicks" its hairs a lot. Flicking means the back legs throw away the hair as a defense mechanism when feeling threatened.*flick flick flick!
Notorious digger too, and luvs the spot between the bark i put in its house. No name yet , too, but since the species common name is Brazillian White Knee, we call it "Dunga" , ok? "Kaka" was taken by a dead one...LOL...

WHERE THEY LIVE

So , no. Im not selling any of them.Kept them all since they were less than an inch in size, and till they are 4 inches plus. (within 1 and a half year).

Pretty cheap to maintain, feed them crickets (RM 2 can get 20 of them) , mealworms (RM 1 can get a months supply), and the occasional small fishes (they sell 12 or 14 for RM 2 in aquarium shops).

Sure they are expensive if you buy a full grown tarantula to start with (Carlsberg here, some dude, i just saw a dude selling one less than 3 inch surely for RM 190.00) . I bought mine for 120 when it was 2 cms.So the price varies on the size and species. DONT BUY just because you think it looks pretty.

Start with a docile one.Brachypelma Smithi or Grammostola rosea for a start.

Most important : READ! and learn.

*FROM a MALAYSIAN, for MALAYSIANS.....

I secretly wanna punch someone who walks slowly in front of me at the back of their head....

2008-07-25T14:36:00.006+08:00

Hows that for a blog title...????

Well, we all do, yeah? Ever been in a huge rush, they you end up being stalled by some idiot who decided to stay in second gear for the rest of the day. Giving a good one between the legs will do too, but i think clonking them at the back of the head stands out more for comical reasons...

same goes to the escalators, them people who hog the whole walkway to themselves, while other people are rushing.....

ALSO! Hitting at the back of their head, you can also revert to other means of aggression : Ramming into them! (sometimes you wish that you have a huge excavator attached to your front bumper, dont you?)

Cue:cruising at hi speed, in the fast lane, then you see some mini car with horsepower just enough to power a lawnmower popping into the lane...

I understand the need to take life issues one at a time, but it doesnt mean we should take our sweet saccharine time while at it, right?

Recently a friend was heard cursing them people who wait til they reach the counter, before deciding what do they want. This is prominent in FAST FOOD restaurants!

Cue : McDonalds or any fast food restaurant,and you end up with this young couple in front of you, flirting (flirting!) while waiting for their turn in line. By the time their turn is up, He goes
: What do you want, Honey (Bun) ?
and she went
: I dont know..what do you want ... ?
he blurts back,
: I'll take what you'll take
she replies
: I dont feel like McDonalds la, Sayang..lets go to Susi Keeng?? (cant even pronounce Sushi King properly! )

*hold urge to kill.....!

Also, those people who only take out the right amount of money only once they reach the counter in them train counters! well i do understand if you dont have the exact change, bro. But at least get yr cash ready! And the best part is, they end up fumbling the shillings, in their futile attempt to appear "rushing and concerned that people are waiting" , GET THOSE CHANGES READY , you fucktard!

Same case at tolls. Classic examples when they decide to go into the Smart Tag or Touch N Go lanes, but their card is not active anymore! I can handle mistakes by people, but i just cant handle stupidity. Worse, when your one single gaff caused shit to everyone within a 500m radius!

The world can make do with less idiots....dont you think?

2008-07-22T11:34:00.011+08:00

Notable stuff about The Dark Knight....

1. We actually get to see a Batman, which is closer to the cartoons! White eyes! YES! Previous Batman's in movies have their eye holes cut out, then Bruce Wayne would have his eye area painted black....well, this movie was no different too, but in several parts, Batman used his sonar sights, and voila! Comic Batman!

2. The Joker mentioned about "how he got his scars"....twice. and both had different angles. and none are correct, then again, i could be wrong too..! The menace that Heath Ledger managed to make his Joker portray : someone that you cant fathom his motives, motivation and also origin makes a chilling reminder what the Joker is capable of. How did he got his scars? if you want to refer back to the Joker in the old batman movie (jack Nicholson), or the batman comic " The Killing Joke", this one is at a different level, as this Joker, you cant possibly know where he's from, and where he's gonna go.

3. Heath Ledger managed to pull off the Joker's role, looking clowny, and sadistic at the same time.The most memorable part in the movie : When the Joker claps in the cell....I gotta respect this dude , the way he stayed true to the comic, where The Joker is portrayed as a person, who could have been anybody....it's that spooky. And he shares his thoughts, without losing his top! "WHY SO SERIOUS....????"

4. Christopher Nolan didn't dumb down the characters. Alfred had an opinion, just like in the comics , the lady -Rachel Dawes- actually make a decision, (Wayne or Dent), unlike Mary Jane Parker (recent spidey movies) who flips and flops between guys more often than Pak Lah's policies, and we have villains that actually make us root against the Batman!

5. Commissioner Jim Gordon , now more effective, not just the guy who turns on the Bat signal....and and! He's got two kids, right? Notice the girl? That's Barbara Gordon.She will grow up to be Batgirl! Soon to be crippled by The Joker (in The Killing Joke), and becomes the Oracle in "Birds of Prey".

Quotable quotes....

"Hi....!"

"....some men aren't looking for anything logical - they can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn" - Alfred

"All you care about is money....this town deserves a better class of criminal - and I'm gonna give it to them" - The Joker

"...an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object, you and I".... - The Joker

"I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger" - The Joker

"Introduce a little anarchy... Upset the established order... Well then everyone loses their minds! " - The Joker

"I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?" - The Joker

"I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments" - The Joker

"I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't have plans. I just do things. I'm not a schemer" - Him too!

So, Heath Ledger died. Then what? Some people kept on saying " then the story is done....Who will play the Joker? two Face is dead...who is next? Johnny Depp as the Riddler? " sort of stuff....

Then again, we were never confirmed, whether Harvey Two Face actually died in the movie. Plus, villains never die, especially in Batman comics....

My guess? well it's good as anybody's. But here's my twist....

next movie : "The Dark Knight Returns". Why? Remember the first movie about Batman? it was entitled "Batman", with Jack Nicholson playing the Joker.
The following movie : Batman Returns....

so. Natural order : The Dark Knight - The Dark Knight Returns!

Also cuz the comic book with the same title had this Batman vs Joker Vs Two Face (again!) + vs Superman! and he beats the crap out of Superman. This movie, i gotta see..=)

Batman : 50+ year old Bruce Wayne? Now that's a story!

I never liked Superman, for one simple reason : Blind devotedness to anything that appears "right" on the surface. He's pretty shallow too. IMHO.

Ok. So when i said before, "Tony who...?" , that was justified....=D

Cant wait for the next movie , (not a movie buff anyway), thank you, Christopher Nolan, and thank you, Heath Ledger for portraying me perfectly in the movie....

(*whooopsiieee.......!)

SMIILLLLEEE......!!!!

I Saw an idiot got slaughtered on TV....

2008-07-16T13:54:00.005+08:00

It was akin to seeing a chicken getting slaughtered....live on TV.
It was like putting a seasoned boxer against a newbie, still fresh in his training gloves....
It was like pitting an F1 car to a 1.3l Toyota Avanza in a drag race...

It was that lopsided, that , if there was an option to throw in the towel, it would be thrown in, taken out, and thrown in again....

I saw the live debate between Pakatan Rakyat's de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Information Minister,dat Ahmad Shabery Cheek. (i didnt bother to look up on what title he carries, cuz its obvious, it doesn't suit him)

Anyway, DSAI came with facts, figures, and outlined plans to tackle the oil price hike. The other guy? he relied on personal attacks, personal attacks, pot shots, low blows, and best of all, his flaccid dick tucked in.

When DSAI called for a debate with the PM, who is also the Finance Minister,on the topic, and i hear that they agreed to it, it struck me, it cant be true....True enough, they sent the Information Minister instead.

I was expecting, if not Pak Lah, give la Nor Mohd Yakcop, who is the second Finance Minister, or at least, his deputies.

I mean, come on. You dont ask a Broadcast Media student to balance your checkbooks, right? What kind of information , that this so called "Information Minister" had in hand? He was like a chicken put out for slaughter.

When he ran out of ideas, he resorted to personal attacks. COME ON!

Alright, i'm not inclined towards any particular political movement, in which , as a Certain Taro said "Kenn , always the fence sitter".

So i approached last night's live debate with the mind being set to "Darn, im pissed with the current price hike..so let's see what these two have to say about it".
Left with the following conclusion : when are they gonna rename the Ministry of (mis)Information...?

agh. ill leave the shit at it. Still, kudos for TV9 for last night's telecast ....Highest viewership cont to date, YES?

And also, last night must be one of the most entertaining Tuesday nights. I wonder if TV9 will ever surpass the figure they clocked last night.

Ok. Last Monday?YES.Monday.There were roadblocks throughout the city. 4 lanes narrowed into 2 lanes, with them cops doing nuts to at least help ease the cars into the proper lanes.....

Anyway, it happened again (Thursday). Darn. Just when i was just planning to drop by The Pavillion to catch the new Batman movie....Gaah.

Got my dose of Batman warm up prior to the movie , though. But this particular scene, got me in stitches.....

observe

Showed it to a friend, and an obvious question came from her ...
"How does he walk with that....? "
To which, i didnt have an obvious answer...
I dont know, and i certainly not planning to find out...
Not to mention Batman's crappy aiming. A paraplegic sloth can aim better, IMHO.

Speaking of "obvious questions", ever been asked one?
Sure you have...

Was at a cinema once, and saw a friend.In the showing room itself, when i was just adjusting my self in the seat....His question : What are you doing here...? (?????)

To which, my answer is..."To cook rice...!" .LOL.

So the lesson: Ask a ridiculous question , prepare for a a ridiculous answer, which i am more than happy to give...

e.g : At the bus stop, or more obvious, a train platform : What are you doing here...?

"Im drafting plans to solve the global warming...!"

Why batman is my favourite superhero

2008-07-15T13:35:00.005+08:00

BAT-MAN...! NANANANANANANA ...!

BAT-MAN...! NANANANANANANA ...!

BATMAN...!

BATMANNNNNN...! BATMAAAAAANNNN...!

Thats a snippet from the opening of this old Batman series, where, in which the Batmobile conveniently parks beside the Gotham Police office in BROAD DAYLIGHT, when Batman needs to talk to Commissioner Gordon.

Sound effects also come out with cartoony cutouts with HUGE "THWOK" "POW!" and "CRASH!" during the fighting scenes...

Enjoy the opening snippet...

Stuff i grew up watching.

Ok. All the hype about the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight....
Whoohoohoo! I cant wait!

Saw Ironman last month, and it was mighty impressive, then, soon after,I was shown a trailer of the upcoming movie, and my verdict was: Tony Who?

The Hellboy 2 was showing too. Sorry . cant comment much on it. Eyes affixed to Selma Blair throughout the movie...ahaha.

BATMAN!
Bruce Wayne is back, with a bike!

ok ok.some people would disagree, that Bruce Wayne does not have any superpowers....
Which means that he is not in the Superhero category. NO!
He does. He has a superpower that dwarfs other superheroes' ....well except for maybe Tony Stark, Professor Xavier and Reed Richards(the Plastic dude in Fantastic Four).They have tons of money too..=D

Which is : Wealth! Ahaha! and brains!

Ok. Im not gonna compare, cuz the debate wont stop....
Someone may even chip in Cicakman as a contender soon. Sheesh.

Ok. I have Coulrophobia. The fear of clowns. so the fact that my favorite villain in the Batman comics is : The Joker is bewildering.Even to me too. I dont feel the "fear" or the dislike i get when i see clowns, at the sight of The Joker. Cool.
So...can watch the movie la then....

Next mission : Get them Cinema Posters! =D

*WHY SO SERIOUS?

Then again, it could be worse...everything happens for a reason.....RIIIIGHT.....!

2008-07-10T16:22:00.005+08:00

Havent been updating this for a while, so bare with me yeah...?

Ok. first thing's first.

Dirt. Loadsa dirt. Too many dirt in the local political scene nowadays, that i dont know who to believe.

I would like to state here, that i'm not pro government, neither am i pro-oppositions in Malaysia, nor am i a supporter of that mindless chap from Pasir Mas who calls people barua, and himself, is not sure which side he is actually on.

Stop and stare : tabulate: analyze: summarize: visualize: conclude my own opinion on the matter. Me likey.

Never mind, still, it could be worse. He's there for a reason.

Whats the worse could happen? This fence sitter from pasir Mas could be a brainless chap who didnt have any stand in issues whatsoever, bought his way up to be a representative in the recent elections, a corrupted bugger who talks from his "other" head.and the list goes on.

Lets see. Next target....

This dude, Saiful Bahri, who in the recent sodomy charge against the former Deputy Prime Minister , Dato' Seri Anwar ibrahim (DSAI). The chap who apparently confessed he received "forced entry through the backdoor". Ahaha. nice way to put it yeah? Instead of "sodomy".

I remember back in the day, the first time DSAI was charged with the sodomy charge.That was 1998. Was around the Commonwealth Games, near my birthday.yehehe.
I was 13 going 14 back then.

All over the papers....

Sodom what? The "Sodom" i only knew was the dude from Street Fighter. The one with the samurai mask, with them two "sai" in his hands.Mighty cool i think.

RRRAAAAWR!

And another one would be one of the towns "Sodom and Gomorrah" i remember i read from the bible....(Kenn read the bible! whooaaa!).

Mighty funky towns those two...God wanted to destroy them or something.For the same reason why Ra's Al Ghul wanted to do in Batman Begins.Bad towns, reach saturation point...LOL. cannot repair, so destroy lorr.... Just like Gotham. But they didnt have Batman In the bible...hmmm...

Anyway,some parents nowadays, like back then, retaliated, when the word "Sodomy" was widely used, in papers, and the TV! News in prime time!

"ooh what would my kids think of...?" they said. "Inappropriate!" claimed another one. Good point. I was a blur kid, so first time opening the papers then reading "sodomy charge", surely sends me running to the dictionary wondering what the hell is "Sodomy"...? Mis spelt?

Shouldn't it be "Sodom - me" which means make me look like that Street Fighter character?

RRRAAAAWR! (again)

then , enlightenment! Oohoo...! so imagine kiddies nowadays (the blur ones, ok) went to Google and typed "sodomy".

Gyahahaha.....they end up with this page right here...LOL.

Anyways, back to the current issue at hand..

Cuz if it's voluntarily and a welcomed entry, a welcome mat would have been given out,a fitting farewell would have been given, and he would not have made the report, aye?

But he made the report, and alleged he was "breached". LOL. How a 61 year old with a bad back can manhandle a 23 year old, i dont know.And now his fiancee is doing her PR stunt, promoting her blogs and stuff, stating her stand.Didnt bother to check it out. Pointless rubbish.

Then again, i have a suggestion for her. I bet she Googles for any related writings on her everyday, so if you do end up here,missy, you really should change your header , dear.

Say something like, "I like Damaged Goods".

It puzzles me when i try to assemble how this 23 year old concocted the story. I dont believe it. Well,as stated above, i dont lean to any political stand. I observe, and whoever fucks up (in my not-so-humble-opinion), i point it out and write. ahaha...

But it's a tad too dramatic.....

Come on, people, lets leave this drama aside. Loadsa important issues at hand.

Remember when the whole saga was questioned to be another diversion tactic from other pressing issues, this PI Guy related to the Altantuya murder case came out with an SD which he later retracts the very next day, and is now in hiding; in a neighboring country , they say. Sheesh. Watch more Venezuelan telenovelas people. Good twists there!

Today, Pak Lah said he's gonna step down in 2010. Hmm...can believe ka?
Flip Flopping?

Track back.

You said no price hike of petrol after the election, sir, remember? What's the new price now?

You also said, even if there's a price hike, it would not take in effect till August. Then , a few days later, new petrol price, with immediate effect. Aih.

You also said, that before the recent General Election, you would not dissolve the parliament in the nearest time, then , how long did you took to dissolve the parliament after making that statement? erm...my memory fails me, so you'll have to track back yourself, on how near is your "nearest time".

Then again, it could be worse. everything happens for a reason.....

I'm ranting a lot today yeah? Its Friday. help me.

Im gone.

How much would you pay for.....

2008-07-04T12:37:00.003+08:00

Ok. A relative who dropped by from Australia wanted a taste of authentic Malaysian curry mee. So i obliged. Then, i did this comparison....

A bowl of curry laksa mee in Kuala Lumpur roughly cost around RM 4.50 (around 1.4 US$ with the 3.2 currency exchange rate). This include the normal ingredients, fish cakes, fish ball, chicken strips, tauhu, a lill taugeh (beansprouts) ,prawns, large ones (usually 3) loads of santan, a dollop of belacan (prawn paste) and the lot.

In Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, it's around RM 4.50 too. But comes with a much larger portion - well, evrything is sold in bigger portions there, so Penangites would flip over when they come to Sabah, cuz portions in Penang, are SO SO miniscule!(but we still end up eating, eating , and eating everywhere we go, regardless the portion! YAY!) ....

Ok ok. some "upscale" shops in KL may tag a bowl at RM 5 to RM 6, even RM 9 per bowl at times. You're paying extra for that annoying background music, see, and the service whhereby your plain water "magically" refills itself up....not for what's IN THE BOWL.ahaha.

And, according to The Sydney morning Herald, the "best laksa in Sydney" is AUS $ 7.50
(link below)

www.smh.com.au/news/good-living/sydneys-best-laksa/2006/07/24/1153593261201.html

Now... friggin RM 22 bux for a curry mee! SHOOT! i'd be shitting gold if i were to take a bowl of that!

Random mussings...

2008-06-28T16:02:00.005+08:00

Right.
This blog is gonna be a random one, taking pot shots at anyone. sapa makan cili, dia la terasa pedas. he who gobbled up the chilli, will end up with the flaming butt syndrome during shit time!

Right.

Firstly, Thank You Pos Laju. They're actually "Laju" (relatively) .Got my package to the destination on time..=) sorry for dissing you guys in the earlier post.LOL.
Will say hello to the next postman who delivers anything to my doorstep.

Ok.
Just got back from Sabah for a short family vacation.And being analytical, just for the sake of it, i compared stuff found in KK, and KL.

One, the drivers there actually give way to pedestrians! Tried this at the nearby pekan / town "Pekan Donggongon" (yes, it's a mouthful. My Aussie cousin once pronounced "Dong-gonggong" which when translated means "Dong - Barking" in Malay. Dong is a slang for "idiot". ; Barking Idiot!) LOL.

Anyway.i stood by the roadside,acted interested to cross, then voila! A car stops, flashes the highlight, and lets me pass! Well this aint a big deal in non-Asian countries, but try this stunt in KL, or Singapore, or Bangcock (WHOOPS! BangKOK!), ....ahaha....unless you perform some death defying stunt; do a 30m dash across the street, or wait for the cars to stop completely, or just take the nearby bridge, you will NEVER get across.

Trivia!
And although the time in KK is the same as in KL, the sunlight level is 2 hours early. So a 7a.m sunlight is roughly equivalent to a 9a.m sunlight level in KL.
SO! nightowls tend to get their biological clock fucked up pretty good when we are there....cue morning: darn bright! looks like 9 already! shit! overslept! woke up, rush for coffee, then look at the clock! only 7 am! UNDERSLEPT! GAAAAH!

and we eat. a lot. next district: eat. eat again. and loadsa stuff to choose from too!
There was this one awesome grilled pau selling shop, in Inanam, where they serve pre-cooled coffee, in beer bottles! No shit! prepare the coffee, pour it into empty (obviously cleaned earlier) beer bottles, and put them into the fridge! so you get a view of people guzzling up " beer coffee" at 3pm in the afternoon! LOL.

Excuse me for sounding so " blur" on the latest developments in Sabah. The last time i was there was almost ten years ago.

Ok. Vacation over yeah. Now back to normal stuff....

Veering away from the Sabah vacation topic....
But not away from Sabah yet.

So how much has Sabah changed...? Lets see..more highways, development, for sure (geez, im comparing 10 years worth of development.....so i should say, NOT MUCH!), but mostly used on roundabouts...???!!!!! its like a friggin roundabout for every 2 kilometers! or less!
Now when the Sabahan politicians voiced out their grouses, they warranted it. So Putrajaya, remember people....this aint 1998 anymore.

Right. Euro 2008 ....Spain won! yay! So my prediction went totally wrong. BUT! I rooted for Italy to win , but Spain defeated Italy, and went to defeat Germany then...so in a way, i'm "still right"...hehe.eh? =P

Ok. the latest issue in local Malaysian politics.
Hmm...i follow the happenings, but to an extent, i guess it gets too big for me to comprehend. My 2 cents? Diversion tactics....
Its like when ure in a losing argument or you're fighting a lost cause, you divert.You change topic. Not a new tactic, this, its a tried and tested, and proven to work, very well....

Fuel rebate! yay! wait a freakin minute.....!

2008-06-17T17:12:00.002+08:00

Ok.Firstly, i have a bone to pick with Pos Malaysia.
Ok fine, they gotta "abandon all normal activity" for a day to accommodate the giving out of the rebate of RM 625 for cars with the engine capacity of less than 2000cc, or RM 150 for bike owners with engine capacity up to 250cc.But why lar want to delay my package.....?????

OK. Done.

Have i redeemed mine? No. Cuz i renewed my road tax earlier this year, January. Got free payung! YAY!
(Crystal remembers that terrible maggi goreng - everyone, boycott that mamak near TTDI Pizza Hut! terrible maggi goreng!)

But then, lets be logical. When the government says "change yr lifestyle".
Well, sir, easy to say if ure earning a minimum of 15k++ per month, and driving a Beemer.Your definition of changing your lifestyle would be like; well, instead of a tour around Europe this year, lets just go to Paris, Milan and London, yeah? We skip Amsterdam, Brussels and Munich for next year.....

Or,

"Ala sayang, no need-lah to go to Disneyland Tokyo...we go to Disneyland Hong Kong....! "

Mid income would definitely fee the pang. Ministers have their allowance cut. 10 freaking percent. What's that? that's chicken shit for them! Lets do the math....
For a normal person who makes, say lets round the figure for easy calculation, yeh?
say 2,000 bucks a month.

safe to say, petrol expenditure to be RM 400? Done. increase it 40%, you get RM560...!
compared to before, where petrol money was 20 percent of the income, it now exceeds more than 25%! (cuz past the 500 mark)

Another thing, why do Ministers need "Entertainment Allowance"....?????
Kelab dangdut mana ni bang...? wait who's dat ex-minister who danced to "Smack That" and spanked a waitress' butt not long ago? haha. He should try superpoke.LOL.

We all know that when petrol price goes up, everything la go up. Woke up this morning to hear a chicken costs RM 8.00 per kilo. 8 kilo! Fuckin hell! imagine nasi campur then now! or Nasi lemak ayam...!!!!

sure sometimes some sellers decide to "HECK with it. im sticking to the old price"....
Then u get an almost malnourished looking chicken from Somalia in your chicken rice....the portion! so small!!!!

Cemerlang, Gemilang, TEMBERANG!
Funny man this Pak Lah.
Flip Flopping.

No selling of petrol to Singaporean and Thailand registered vehicles!!!!Cuz their prices are way more expensive there, and they're making use of the Malaysian Government's fuel subsidies when they fill up here!

Then two days later : 41% Petrol price increase, and along with that, the ruling of "no foreign vehicles filling up" is lifted!

Shoot! Its like a scene from Popeye! Remember Olive Oyl? "ooohh Blutto, ure so strong.....!" then in a whim went "HEEEEELP POPEYEeeeee!" .
make up yr mind, woman! This aint reality TV!

i came up with this theory though...the best place not to feel the sudden price hike in food is to eat at fast food joints. Seriously.That Two-piece chicken platter at KFC still cost the same as last year.and the year before.....right? instead, that auntie who sells chicken rice may have hiked up that plate of chicken rice price to 30cents from the previous. This cannot be....!

Example.sometimes, when i decide to take a light breakfast, two currypuff and a cup of Nescafe Tarik would cost me RM 2.00 flat. Well can count each currypuff cost 30 cents, and a cup of nescafe RM 1.40....logical.

Two days after the price hike....RM 2.20! without knowing, i gave him 2 ringgit, and his hand was still in "gimme gimme more" mode."harga dah naik, bang, 2.20" he said.
SHIT! Even my currypuff is affected! They cant be putting extra petrol into my nescafe, nor they were using RON 98 to fry them....!

Kenn Leandre : Master of Quick Pot Shots : "U goreng pakai leaded ke unleaded....? "
Shit! i have to ask him whether he used leaded fule or not to fry them cuz, its so not logical!

Went to the petrol station, days after the new price.Almost cried when i looked at the price per litre. Not that i wasnt aware or anything. But looking at how SLOOOWWWW the "LITRES" screen change numbers, and how FAST! the "RM" section was going.....

Aih.

as for Euro, predictions went awry, but fret not, im still with the prediction of Italy - Germany final.....

if it doesnt happen, second one would be Germany - Holland. (it's Netherlands too!)

im off.

Petrol 41% increase in Malaysia ; Change your Lifestyle : Ubah Gaya Hidup!

2008-06-05T09:32:00.005+08:00

Before anything, watch the video...

ok. Malaysians are a "happy" lot today (June 5th). So "happy" , that we've resorted to pat ourselves on the back and chuckle to ourselves thinking...HOW THE FUCK WE GOT OURSELVES INTO THIS SHIT....and still harp on...."Cemerlang, Gemilang dan Terbilang"

Petrol price up 41%! dats 78 cents. That means we travel roughly 41% less the distance with the same amount of shit we pay for petrol.

That means,the domino effect is in place. What nest? McDon

alds delivery to cost more? Toll rates also increase? Will a ticket to watch a movie stay the same, while popcorn prices shoot up? Will coke stay with the same price per bottle? Shoot. Fuel surcharge? darn.cheap flights? errrmm....There goes my plan to get that Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 by the end of next year. Shoot.And when the Prime Minister remarked along the lines of saying "these arent popular decisions, and i'm not here to make popular decisions, as i understand the hike wont go well with the people". Who wants you to make popular decisions, PM? We only wanted SMART decisions! Not the ones made in a whim!

*hmm. dude, im pretty bored. lets hike em petrol prices up as of tonight...and i bet you this Ferrari keychain they'll be flooding the stations the next minute..Deal? If i lose, i'll tie a huge ribbon onto my pet, and pose with it...put it up on Facebook"

Well yeah, compared to other countries, we are still considered "cheap" .Then again, why the haste? Come on. I received news about it around 5.30 pm that the price is going up.shit.Fine.78cents! 2.70!.*deep breath. fine. (WTF?).Tnite...erm WHAT? TNITE? shit! suddenly filling up petrol earlier this morning turned out to be the best move of the day.Overnight? We were told days before that any change would take effect come August. Next thing u know, Slap bang,as of Midnight, prices are up by 41%! Coupled with the flash floods arnd the city in several places, and also the mad dash.....geez.

Hmm.We produce oil.Then, should we compare ourselves with non producing oil countries? Logic says NO.Compare the petrol price of RM 2.70 per litre with other oil producing countries :

RM 2.70 is roughly converted to 0.84 Dollars per litre....

look at Venezuela! Latinas, and the country being a source of non stop telenovelas....shit. No wonder people love Hugo Chavez...i want to migrate. Well. not the penguin sort of migration. *waddle waddle*. Although i have to agree being an oil magnate sounds much, much better. Then i can buy over some stupid English football club....

Back to shit. Guess i'll have to rush to Shell after work, and submit that form for the "Free 1,000,000 free kilometres" promo Shell is giving out....who knows?
and please bring back that Ferrari car promotion. it makes paying for fuel feels a lot more tolerable, when you leave the station with a Ferrari....

First post for June 2008 : What else...? pick my targets! or lack of it....!

2008-06-02T12:47:00.002+08:00

Ok.
Last week was a double celebration for East Malaysians, as Gawai Dayak and Kaamatan was celebrated throughout the weekend. FYI, both are rice harvest related festivals, Gawai Dayak being celebrated by the Dayaks in Sarawak, and Kaamatan by the Dusuns in Sabah. So all Ibans are Dayaks, but not all Dayaks are Ibans ; All Kadazans are of the Dusun group, but not all Dusun people are Kadazan. Plus, there's a sub category among the Kadazans - the ones mixed with Chinese, Sino-Kadazans.

How am i related? My mum's Sino-Kadazan (huge chunk + other unfinalized bloodline trait) and my dad's Iban. So there.

But, grew up in KL.

Ok. so i have no memory of growing up in Sabah & Sarawak, as my family shifted to KL when i was a wee kid. So im more of a Cheras kid, even more "peninsular" than most so called "Budak KL".Proud? i dnt know what to be proud of....But being from Cheras, which is sometimes jokingly called Ah Beng Central / Production part of KL, Cheras kids are really proud of where we all came from. Regardless, if yr parents are from out of town, Penang or Johor even, if u grew up in Cheras, other place of origins takes a back seat....

Cheras being associated with the Chinese community, hence the Ah Beng, much as Sentul, Klang & Brickfields to the Indians, and Ampang & Gombak to the Malays. Still, this refer to the "mood" of the area, and not generally which group owns which area.

HEEY! Cheras has the LONGEST pasar malam (night market) in Malaysia , ok!
The Taman Connaught night market on Wednesdays ; the source of 20 minutes of traffic jam....Not all districts in KL have their own Swimming , velodrome, stadium, lake garden, horseback riding park, and an actual WW2 plane perched on a house all within the same area, ok!

So when i heard of the celebrations being held for Gawai & Kaamatan in Sabah & Sarawak, as funny as it sounds, i can relate. And to mention that the current hoo ha about the price rise of rice...(wow.tongue twister!).

Cuz i think, both would need to be actually re-enacted, cuz of the current economic situation. ahaha.The almost doubling up in the price of rice means that an extra bowl of rice at the Bak Kut Teh stall will cost more than 1 ringgit! So unfair!

In the legend of the Kaamatan festival, every single year they will have this beauty pageant thing, to choose the next "Unduk Ngadau" a.k.a Miss Harvest Festival. So Dusun girls (genuinely hot, apparently) from all over the state would represent their district, to contest on the big day, in Kota Kinabalu.

The winner sort of "reprises" the role of Huminodun (if i got that right) who sort of sacrificed herself so that the Dusun people can regain their crops, which were destroyed by a plague brought by ,here's the catch ; her daddy! She sacrificed herself, and the crops came back. dnt ask me what year this happend, its a legend, people.....they forgot to state it in their diary when it happened...

So the Unduk Ngadau will be an ambassador of goodwill of sorts, i guess.ahaha.
So i think the Kadazan Dusun will need to get another missy, or in fact , the current missy to be sacrificed, since the price of rice really shot up; akin to crops failing / shortage.ahaha...:P .If that really works out, we get that Mariah Carey to belt out "There can be miracles.....!"

KIDDING! ritual killing?what u think i am...? Mayans who give their daughters to Predators who in turn make them into Alien hosts? ok. too much AVP2 there...
still, as logical as it may sound when put back eons ago, smtg must be sacrificed in order to bring balance back to the economic situation of an average Malaysian. LOL.

Now some jokers want to stop selling petrol to neighboring countries' visitors.Come on! whats there to lose, anyway? so what if they're paying a little lower for petrol whenever they hop over the border....u think they're making a quick profit if they do? with all the jam on the Causeway from Johor to Singapore, id call any Singaporean who think they're saving a few Sing $ just by coming over to purchase fuel , stupid.

Plus, yeah yeah, we are apparently paying less than other countries. but wait. Does Singapore produce fuel? Does Thailand produce fule, at the scale we are currently producing? HELL NO! So why does the gov still wanna follow international prices when dictating prices to us? Tell me. Im not an economics grad. Then again, i doubt the people who are deciding these matters are too.....

A friend was talking to me, abt local main stream media (MSM), and for people who prefer neutral ones, we tend to read The Sun.Ok, rough background for reporting in Malaysia; The Star is MCA owned, in turn, being run by Barisan Nasional (BN ; Barang Naik), the coalition party. Same as NSTP.You have an UMNO invisible hand there. So naturally we rely on The Sun, cuz its obvious a more balanced report on almost all issues are dished out here. For Malay papers, well, basically its targetted to the Malay community. and in Malaysia, Malay is Islam. Harian Metro is the Malay equivalent to Malay Mail (English), which basically dishes out...crap. Barita Harian Is the Malay equivalent of NSTP, and Utusan Melayu, is heck, "UMNO Paper Daily". But get the gist here...if the target readers are ur...Malay.Then like said earlier, Malay is Muslim, then we all know, in Islam, gambling is a no no! Then why the heck there is a small section for Toto 4D and magnum 4D results...?
aiih....

And lastly, few weeks ago, some miss created a huge fuss when she criticized the dressing of Malaysian female students, saying that it's too "revealing" and a precedent to sexual abuse, and rape. That the uniform of white and turquoise is a tad too sexy, and causes them to be a target by sex offenders. Im not the only one appalled by her stupidity. Almost evryone was. She got "tiu -ed" front back left right centre (up and down...?) for her stupid remarks in blogs. I dnt knw whether her motive was to to gain a cheap publicity, but darn, we all love to grill some idiotic ideas .....

Plus, come on, if girls' uniforms in Malaysian schools are a tad too revealing, then why almost all of the truant cases are by boys? heck, id stay in school longer! Right? I bet she gets aroused just by watching boys in their shorts, if she sees males as sex crazed organisms.Then again, maybe she doesnt.

Two types of smiles in photos....a not-so exhaustive research done by me!

2008-05-28T12:43:00.003+08:00

Alright. Almost everyone has a profile on facebook, myspace, and friendster. Not to mention those who have multiple accounts in any of these social networking sites, for the reason being, "having too many friends"....aha..example: "add me at this profile - CUTIEPIE#5 as the others are already full...!muax!" Shheesh!

Who the heck can have thousands of friends, well, i salute you.i bet u have every entry in the yellow pages inside yr phonebook too.

Right.im not gonna talk about social profile habit today. No Sir-ee..!

Im talking about photos. and the photos people post in these sites and the like.
You see, unlike some people, who luvs to hav their picture taken and pose, i dnt like my picture taken. Just dont like it.Unless it's an occasion worth taking picture for, or the like, i usually drift away when the "picture time!" que is given out during a function, or anything like that.
But some people do, and literally jump into every opportunity.Good for you, slip out que for me...!

But i luv taking em.How ironic is that?

Anyway, i came to this conclusion. People have two distinctive style of "smiling" for the camera.....

OK!

1. The Genuine piccy smile

The sort of smile which shows a genuine one, translated as,"Gee im in the pic,big smile..Happy to be here,hope i look great in the pic...make sure u get my good side!"

2. The "non-genuine" showoff piccy smile

This one is the easier to detect. Cuz you can see it in the face that the person is stating..."i bet u dnt have what i am holding / having/hugging/doing right now". This usually gets the subject to do two actions minimum at once, and the smiling as the secondary duty of the both.

There you go. The two types of smile you can find in pictures....go forth, and classify!

As for the jokers who luv to take pics of food....man...where's the creativity?
Everybody knows how a chili crab looks like. try something unique for once will ya....?

Look what i've found on the internet...! (2)

2008-05-24T15:00:00.003+08:00

Warning : Read at your own peril....

Scenario : Working Saturday.
Mood : Tensed.Bored.Lost of hope for the weekend now that football season has ended
Current Activity : Surfing for articles, and getting loose ends (work related) done.
Request : Asked a friend to tell me a joke.
Why? : cuz i'm dead bored.Just to keep the sanity intact.
Reply : "I dont know of any jokes, look up for Ah Beng Jokes".

So, naturally i did.....
And the chronology on how i came to the search word of "Ah Beng cars"
Mind said : define what makes an Ah Beng....points brought up ;

- bleached hair
- Ho Chiak!
- LaaLaa
- Sound system
- cars
- ah beng-ed cars
- Ah beng cars with serious parts modding
- Ah beng cars with airbrush!

Guess what pic came out in the first search reult page...?

however, i have to credit this finding to the website first, to avoid my arse being sued later. LOL.

SUPER AH BENG BABE MAGNET RIDE!LOL.

Only to know later that the car has been barred by the police, not "roadworthy".Ghehehe. For obvious reasons.

So the next time the driver said he had a close shave with an accident....WHOAHAHAHAHA...

aite.

...Of Japanese Superheroes.....Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Gaban...

2008-05-22T11:39:00.003+08:00

Sweet!
Was chatting with a friend about my previous post, about stuff we ate, watched and learned (or mis-learned) while we were growing up (say thank you to Pocky), and i cant help but write about them..OK. where to start!

Right. The King of all kiddie shows, ULTRAMAN!
Uu-to-ra-man , Taro, Seven..! Seven..! Seven...! (since its the seventies)...but the most quirky one, and entertaining too...ACE! (pronounced as "Ass-u" in japanese)

before we go any further, lets enjoy this....

my old room mate memorized this song!

HAKUTO - MINAMI......! the transvestite Ultraman! who, unlike other ultramans who just need one person to call ultraman, this variation needs two people to "connect" their "rings" to call upon Ultraman Ace....!
This quirk makes this particular ultraman very, very memorable. Man + Woman : Ultraman!
Also, both are born 7th July. So now we know one of the prerequisites of being the "Special One"....Jose Mourinho, are you listening?

Ok.We all know the typical style of Ultraman fights. And since he (or it, in the case of "Ass-u" )can only stay on Earth for 3 minutes, it surely gave us growing up kids the reason and misguidance for our time management habit.

See, in the first minute, Ultraman will jump in. with the trademark "SHEEAAH" shout, right? the proceeds to beat up the monster in the first 30 seconds or so. Although he's in full power, Ultraman is a fair fighter (daft more likely, IMHO). He dont just give his killer move just yet. and proceeds to piss off the monster.
Then the monster gets back his powers (and senses...why d hell am i gettin a beating from this dude in tights??). Beats the effin crap out of Ultraman for the next 90 seconds or so, till the "Ultra Timer" goes "ting tong ting tong" repetitively.
Seriously, it would be a very traumatizing wake up ringing tone, dont u think?

anyway, then suddenly, like us, Ultraman (of any variety) remembered that if he dont get his job done quickly, his ultra butt is toast. e.g he's in deep shit. So then, he does a ROCKY BALBOA,miraculously beats the crap out of the monster, FINALLY uses his super power, and saves the day. Before hastily bailing out in Mach 5 (speed of flying, not by driving the Mach 5 from Speed racer)

So what does this teach us kids who were like 7 -9 around that time? time management.
Last minute work usually pays off...! LOL.

And we all grew up watching these shows,like Ultraman, dubbed into BM. Which in turn, pretty much affected our usage of language....Example...

Kesatria Baja Hitam. (Kamen Rider Black in Jap)....i was thinking, Baja? fertilizer? where does it come in here? until i noticed that "baja" is also another malay word meaning armor (besi keras).

So kesatria baja hitam translated as "Black Armor Knight" sounds more apt than the "Knight of Black Fertilizer". AHA.
And any kid that age can do the "Henshin" - bertukaar! (transform!) action. Including, yours truly. LOL.SEPAKAN...PADU...MAAAOOOOOT!

However, compared to Ultraman and Kamen Rider, the hero with the funkiest song must be Space Sheriff, Gavan. (we all call him GABAN!)

Take a listen....worth the wait of loading time...
GAAABBAAAAAAN!

as for the series which have members forming a team, the most memorable ones include Flashman, Maskman and towards the mid 90's, Power Rangers.
Power Rangers is the Americanized versions, and the song was bleeped , the part where it said "Mighty *bleep* Power Rangers...!" . the word "morphin" was bleeped. apparently, they worry kids will start taking up morphine upon hearing this. The stupidity...well. Some duds think differently. We practically luv the parts the robots come in though. But i wonder, why wait till the bad guy "Grow up into the monster" part, whereas you could have made yr day easier by killing it when its still human-size possible?

oh yah..the robots. kids luv em....

i have a bone to pick with dubbings, though.they kill the fun of learning Japanese.
the only word i got was "henshin" which means "change".GEEZ.

Ok. i'll leave it at it.

Gonna try to remember back more cartoon crap i saw when i was a kid.LOL.

I want my Pocky chocolates....

2008-05-22T09:36:00.007+08:00

Trivia!

Was checking out Wikipedia on this chocolate stick i really like : "Rocky" . - yeah those addictive, thin sticks covered with chocolate.and strawberry. and milk.and some say banana?

Well, its sold as "Pocky" everywhere around the world. Except for Malaysia. Where POCKY ...- pronounced as "Pok - ee"
And in Malay...? "Pok - ee" means....?

Hmm.I always thought Rocky was a rip off from Pocky.Now, WE KNOW!

Apparently they even sell them in Green Tea flavored in Japan. What's the diff? i don't know. I cant even understand why banana flavored Pockies (errr...) are even tasteful.

RIIIIGHT.

Pretty short entry today. I know.

And lastly....if in Malaysia language, KOPITIAM roughly means "Coffee Shop"
So what do you call a shop or business which specializes in selling these sort of chocolate sticks...? POCKY THIAM? LOL.
just a thought.

Right. now me gonna look for a 7-11 selling these...:)

The writer is a fan of Rocky Chocolate sticks and eats them with the motto "twos are nice, three's a crowd, but it gets better with four at once" . Favored flavor : chocolate.

The Shotgun : Numerous targets, zero aim ....!

2008-05-16T10:31:00.006+08:00

Right.(there we go again)

Attended a seminar on food nutritional ingredients yesterday, at a hotel in Glenmarie , Shah Alam.
Chance to side track from the office for a day! YAY! And learn some side stuff also! YAY! Lucky COW ! (as a certain "mother of 3, coming to 4 soon" like to call it)
Woot WOOT!

ok. nuff of that.
Not the first seminar ive attended , as a professionally - counter-part - in the industrially related - participant , cuz ive attended a few with MIMA in my first job as a Marine Consultant.
MIMA : Maritime Institute of Malaysia...
Also not the first time finding out that i am the youngest participant ...dang.(either i'm lucky, or i ended up with the short end of the stick, sods get sent to these seminars)

Anyway, standard seminar. No thing to crow about, apart from the guy who sat beside me, obviously havent mastered the art of staying awake...he hogged all the mints.

On a lighter note, i spotted this at the washroom...
Nothing written above the signage, but i guess it should aptly read :
"HOW NOT TO GET YOUR KNEES WET" , or "HOW TO WASH YOUR BALLS" ...urm ok. the second one dont sounds very apt...

anyway, click on the pic to see it clearly....

GENIUS! Now you even get instructions on how to wash up your arse! Next what?

Speaking of signage, i saw this one at a pet store

HEPTILE section. mighty clever.....

Lastly, we Malaysians surely know who Amber Chia is....right? She's one of the "Spokesperson" of Pensonic Malaysia....
Well, call me whatever, but i dont see whats the fuss about her...well is she pretty? err..i dnt think so...not in my books, well, beauty is subjective.Ok, ill give you that.

But God, i have to comment on her Ehngreesh....well, mine's not perfect (you can see from this post, even), but MAN! You'd expect something waaaaaaaay better from her!
I mean, she's been in the "International" level, appearing in numerous adverts, at least she's got the time to improve on her Ehngreesh la, kan? Sad.but still, hilarious...
Almost crashed into a tricycle riding uncle selling tau foo far when i heard the advert on radio.Sounds as if it was spoken by someone who had her upper lip taped to her teeth. It went something like:

"Harrloow ay-am , Am - buhr Chia. Bla bla bla....rrhee rhak shing (relaxing) ,....bla bla.. e-lekh-trhonicsh (electronics)...*something gibberish*...".
Note, its not the weak signal or anything, cuz i turned up the volume earlier. Signal was A-OK.
Man, i bet you would not be able to hold back even a chuckle if you heard it yourself...!

lastly, a safety precaution message from Proton. I think.
Wonder why they didnt put it up on local TV...

Car modding - Malaysian Style...!

2008-05-14T15:48:00.004+08:00

Ok . Car modification. Before i go any further, let me clarify that the car i drive, is still in stock condition, ok.

No modifications, whatsoever has been made on her (its a HER , ok...)...
Me like it to be original...:)
Au naturale...cuz enhanced ones tend to be..plasticky, cheapo-ish, and in most cases , ridiculous looking....

Few days back, a Perodua Kancil with huge spoilers, front skirting (fully done, i think) and front hood modified was desperately tailgating me. Obviously asking for a race... you can know cuz when i shifted lanes into the middle one, he followed suit, while revving his engines....hmm..tak puas hati ke? anyway, i again, put up my indicator light, asking him to pass.he passed me briefly, then signalling "me-you-race-one-on-one" then went back to tailgating me....

ok.watever you do, always look at it from all possible angles. Should i get into something dangerous, just for kicks? is it worth it? what are my chances of winning here...?

Lets see the facts here...

1. judging by the sound of it, its only cosmetic enhancements, as i you can tell from the sound of the engine, that the huge VROOM emitting from that car was of the exhaust.
2. and it's a second generation Kancil, which puts its engine capacity at 850cc max.i know when i can see the car front grills...
3. that the car, seen thru my rear view mirror has started to sway.as it began to get unstable once it reached above 110 km/h...like all Kancils do...and wait, the owner got his ride elevated: Rally car style.which pretty much cancels the purpose of having the spoiler....
4. basically he thinks he could own me.considering the "beat up look" i was carrying...didnt wash the car for a week already....

anyway, before i could make any decision, we came to the toll booth.
and i was sort of pumped up, in my war against toll booth operators, i had my 10 pieces of 5 cent coins, to be given away.haha.....and i guess this dude was also keen to use the toll as a "Start" point....

It didnt materialize.cuz the car in front of this "Mat Racer" stalled when paying his toll! And actually died! i saw this, considering i was on the same entry level,and i had loadsa waiting time,as the car in front of me had his change given in small changes...he gave RM 10 for a 50 cent toll...

so begitu lah cerita Mat Racer which i'm sure ill own him anyway if we did a sprint race...hmm..

anyway, i got this pic from my brother a few months back. Some dude decided to do modifications on his 4WD...put up a spoiler..hehe...

see for yourself..

Can you believe it? Neither do i, until i saw the pic...!
Anyway, this is NOT the worse modification ive seen, as countless other Ah Bengs and Mat Satrias who mod up their cars, which in turn end up like a prop from the motion picture : SpeedRacer....

will keep a look out on stupid looking ones i bump (literally) into...and keep em coming...cuz it wont be difficult to spot...

And as the new released Perodua 4WD ; my opinion ?
Its like an old Perodua Kembara, with its butt enhanced....
Complete 4WD? well in the advert, it shows the driver going offroad to avoid goats....
HEY! dats going against everything a 4WD should be doing! You mow em goats down!
Whats a Kangaroo bar if you dont use them? and since we dont have kangaroos here in Malaysia (too hot for them, apparently, or maybe they got spooked out after seeing Muay Thai), Goats will do!

so go offroad to avoid obstacles? and you can see clearly that the car wasnt going uphill, its moving on level off road! the camera was tilted! GEEZ!

right.

Ill stop criticizing Perodua cars now.for the timebeing....

before Perodua lovers start to crucify me...and some other people start to count how many time i said the word "RIGHT" , im off....

2008-05-13T15:12:00.005+08:00

Have you ever went to a food stall / restaurant, and found out that the waiter is a foreign worker...?
and no matter how good you aced yr SPM BM & English, you'll end up speechless on what language to use....
No..no ..im not gonna bash them or anything in this post.Well..read first, then decide, ok?

Well, i like going to Chinese restaurants, or stalls. "Payathin 24 hours" etc.

So most of the time,here, you'll get a waiter who takes the orders for drinks being a foreign worker la.
Well, im ok with them. They're doing an honest living. Legal money.No law broken.Whether they came in legally, dats another story la...

But what bugs me is, when they try to act smart....
well, obviously you know that they can speak English and / or Malay. And if you see me walking around, or at a Chinese stall, logically you'll speak to me in Chinese (Cantonese or mandarin, watever) But if i spoke to you in English, you dont reply in Hindi, or anything else, right?

cue, yr food arrives...
You : How much ah...? Berapa?
Him : Sei Kao Pun (4.50)
You : BERAPA? In English or BM!
Him : oooo...HUMPAT SHTENGUH...

its like their trump card to mess wit ya speaking languages they know you dont understand. I saw one of them talking Chinese to an Indian uncle.When its obvious the medium should be English.

The uncle brilliantly went "If i want to be spoken to in Chinese, i would have went to Hong Kong or Shanghai myself!"

well want to blame them for lacking tact, also not right. Just sometimes la, one of those days, where you find yourself lost, amidst the crowd, although KLCC is just on yr background.

Was at Petaling Street last week, with a friend.
So we all know the stalls are owned by Malaysians, Ah Bengs mostly, and they hire foreign workers to mend the stalls.
They got the balls to say "WELCOME TO MALAYSIA, SIR!" to obviously Malaysian looking buyers, not only that, with their obvious Nepalese / Sri Lankan / Bangladeshi accent with it...!

"WhulKUM TU MALAYCHIA SUR!THISH PRODUK NO SHELL IN YOUR KHANTRY WHAN. I GIVE JU BIG DISCHOUN. NURMAHLY I GUV TO LOKALS ONLHI.BUT CHU I GIVE SPHESHEL..."
This coming from a guy who would bolt the second i shout IMIGRESEN!

So for you to feel like you're in a foreign country, go to Petaling Street.

And yeah, they're back selling DVD in the open. The DBKL direktorat was browsing thru em...off shift kot.cuz i thought he should be chasing them instead. Well, DBKL also got time off...

And lastly, toll booth collectors. I've waged my personal war with them where i'll only give them small change from now on.
So if the toll rate is RM 0.50, its gonna be 5 X 10 cents, or 10 pieces of 5 cent coins. Let them get their own medicine.
Ade ke patut, i give them RM 5.00 note for a RM 1.00 toll, they return the change in the following :
RM 0.20 x 10, RM 0.50 X 1 and RM 0.10 X 15 ....(?)
although its obvious they have loadsa RM 1.00 notes, and RM 0.50 coins?

Dats it.Toll Damansara Lorong Tunai towards TTDI, lorong paling kiri, you have been warned...!

Come on...May 13th aint no Astro program...stop repeating it...lets get it over with

2008-05-13T12:00:00.004+08:00

Right. Ive been reminded and noted, again and again that:

1. clean my room
2. that i always begin my blog entries with the word "right"...
3. to change my blog outlook
4. to drive slowly
5. and most recently, change the banner of my blog. cuz it sort of spilled out...(i know..i know...haha)

shot. not doing any of em now. cuz im juz gonna write. Well this might not (well, its wont be!) the most attractive blog, but id rather that people come to read the contents,rather than the bling2 around it.

Right.

Ok. May 13. When i was in school , i hated history. to me, fuck d past, watever mistakes done then, well, surely it helped shape the current times,and the future, but why keep on harping about it?

I mean, do i care what tree Parameswara was lepak-ing by when he saw that kancil kick the poor dog? Or was Hang Li Po related to Hang Tuah, Jebat etc?wait.did they really existed, anyway?

My POV, history is a matter of perspective. And perspectives, depend on who tells it. And from here, who lives long enough (or lucky enough to outlive, outlast and out-pusing-word) the other interpretations.

So some may get offended when i say that i believe the Hangs (not to be confused with a certain dude i knew in uni) were very much of Chinese origin, that Hang To'ah, Hang Je Bat and his kin were not Malay after all, and their "Silat" was actually Kung-Fu / tai chi ...."everybody goes Kung Fu figt-iiiing.....!"
(tai chi evolved into Kung Fu - told in Fong Sai Yuk ...or was it Wong Fei Hung movies)

Pahlawan Melayu was a term coined years later in order to refer them as defenders of Tanah Melayu, and not the race / ethnic , and the rest they say, is history. Then again, as said earlier , its a matter of perspectives.

Naturally, i never liked History in school.I sucked at it. Never got an A, and even it was the only subject stopping me from getting straight A's in form 3.
The teachers i had wasnt very helpful either. yapping about stuff that we were not very keen.Worst was in form 3.He went on yapping on the actual size of cannon balls ;

"Size die kecik aje...! besar ni..tak tipu..bukan macam dalam cerita omputeh..saiz pelughru meghriam tu tipu...saiz die kecik je..hah..."
naturally i got a B.juz because i was pretty much into the civilization part of history...

Also, to me, history when got twisted, it gets annoying.Especially when religious related stuff come into play, some teachers forgot that they are teaching History, not Agama Islam.
No offense, but one of my teachers end up trying to convert non-Muslims when teaching the Tamadun Islam chapter, instead of teaching about wats in the text book.Dozed off.
Then some joker played smart ass to question the teacher. No bonus points here, on who didnt get A for the rest of the year. LOL.

So why d hell am i yapping abt history, when in fact, i hate anything related to in in school..?

Well, today is May 13th. We get this often in the previous years....

words going along the lines of :

"Dont question our rights!Kalu tak.....!" - *insert weapon brandishing , sword kissing (real sword! not d other one down there!) action.
"Let the ruling Government remain, or May 13 1969 will repeat...!"

*sidenote!
suddenly as i write, Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" song came in.

basically, was brought up to "believe" that a change in the local political scene will cause another incident. although 40 years down the road!
COME ON! Its like telling a 40 yr old that the tooth fairy and Santa Clause still exist!
Are we Malaysians still with the mentality of the people 40 years back? Come on!
Just because some people want to maintain their status quo, using their ethnicity as base to instill fear, should the rest of the country suffer?

Yapping on and on wont do much diff. Other more prominent writers may have already harped on the same issue here, as i have. And backed with much more facts and insight (not to mention connections) as compared to me, im sure they are saying something similar among the liens that : 40 years down the road: Apart from some rulers in UMNO, Malaysians as a whole have grown up. Heck, i believe even most of my Malay friends would jump into the opportunity of having a fair and even competition with other Malaysians. heck, lets stop with the racial thing already.

Bury May 13.Let it be remembered only as the 133rd day in the calendar.

Wats history, remains history. learn from it, but dont harp it for individual gain.
No repeats. This aint Astro.....!

When boredom strikes : Ka-POW! - My quest for Comics , Transformer Toys and more...!

2008-05-10T15:19:00.009+08:00

I was fidgeting wat to do with my phone cam...(i was really, really bored, mind you)
so i decided to take out some of my toys....and the end product...

ALIEN CAMARO bullies ENZO FERRARI after losing race

i know. i was dead bored.what else am i supposed to do...?
read books? i'm finished reading all of them . Now just waiting for Y: The Last Man issue no.10 (T/P) to be released to complete my collection ....

nicked from Y:The last Man, book No.3 - One Small Step

Apparently, yes they can!

So we will have more comic book adaptations to the silver screen this year.....
Ironman started it, and next: Batman- The Dark Knight!
Not only it's gonna be Heath Ledger's last hurrah (wait.i think he's was in another half - made movie after this one..anyway) before his untimely death....

It's also promising that the movie gets pretty close to the (well, i reckon) the title of best written Batman comic so far, The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

Frank who? well for those who saw heads roll and saw Marv on screen, ("300" -"Tonight we dine in Hell!" and also "Sin City" -where Jessica Alba acted as a stripper who didnt strip.bummer), he's the creator of these characters.

Batman Begins was a loose tie - in to Batman Year One (also by Miller)
And The Dark Knight Returns is written by Miller.....
The Batman : the Dark Knight is supposed to be after Batman Begins....
woot woot! cant wait for The Dark Knight Returns!

anyway, was looking thru some stuff on d Internet, and the movie-tie in batman is out already...mighty impressive! Will upload it, once i have it in my hands...(

The ironman toys are out, and are pretty articulated....d 6inch tall ones are pretty flexible ala GI Joe toys, and the other 12 inch one have light and sounds emitting from both palms....get the 6 inch one...

cuz like the Bumblebee from Transformers movie, the bigger one sucks. Less flexible, more expensive, and also not as detail as the smaller scale. Sounds ridiculous, but its true.

Indiana Jones movie coming out. Never before have i seen a toy resembling 80% of Harrison Ford's smirk. Not an Indiana Jones fan. but the toys are pretty snappy....:)

The Hulk movie is coming out soon too. Not to be associated with Ang Lee's plastic-ky green goon, this one should rock.

As for Ang Lee, i think he should stick to making movies which show nudity.Not complaining here! :p

I think his next movie should spell :

Caution - Lust Mountain Breaks Hulk's Back

as a tribute to his past movies....

anyway, the 2008 movie, starring Ed Norton and Liv Tyler...(animal cookie anyone...?)
and would have a cameo by Downey Jr as Tony Stark (Ironman)...
some rumor said there may be an Ironman Vs Hulk movie in the future....heck, dont just stop there!

You have The X-Men, Spiderman, Daredevil (which bombed big time), Elektra, Fantastic Four (apart from Alba, it bombed) , The Punisher, and The Ghost Rider movies....
do a movie based on Civil War!
Captain America VS Ironman...which side you're on...? man!

still, Batman owns Ironman! Nuff said. Batman rules.

right.

Was talkin to a friend abt her getting a new car. MyVi. my take that its kinda wobbly. heard several cases , where friends driving it end up turned turtle.
lived to tell d story. darn. still, its not a very stable car.her take was that its a girly car. true.easy to park. second that.large interior. so true.

but then when i saw this MyVi zoomin down the road, with an Ah Beng riding it at top speed and heavily breaking taking a bend(well 110 should be the car's limit, considering the stability), i doubt the car's ability on corners.

Then again, the driver dictates the driving. and on most cases, yr driving ability does not necessarily expand accordingly with your wallet.
saw some idiotic ah beng swaying his Civic d other day. Bodoh jugak budak kaya nih....
God is Fair.

and a sweet tale on road rule breakers....
along the Salak Expressway, where it normally clogs up every morning, near the Mid valley interchange...like usual i was at the slowest lane, cuz im taking the left slip road out at Mid valley. and on almost everyday, some wanker would zoom down using the emergency lane, and cut queue far up.

so this ah pek tried his luck, and without noticing, traffic cops are waiting on his blind side.its a curve to the left, so he cant possibly see them before they spot him first.so in a desperate attempt, he tried to slip back into the main traffic, but do we allow him...? Nooooo! i counted at least 5 cars ahead of me, and 5 at the back who purposely stick close to each other - stay close to the car in front, and dont leave the car at the back of you too far...e.g. dont leave a gap for him to enter.

naturally he got stopped and summoned. the max i hope.300 bux.ahhh....bliss...:)
all the remaining cars at the back had a good view on what happened... :)

who got more summonses for being stationary rather than for moving too fast / broke rules while on the move...?
ME! shitty parking summonses.i wonder if its even legal for local authorities to collect em....

-the writer keeps a healthy sum of collectibles, including comics, toys and also exotic pets. So far unsuccessful in convincing his mum that his toys are as "investments", he now resorts to the reasoning of "they're rare" . Currently owns several Shell Ferraris. 3 from the old 2 speed collection, and 4 from the current "rev sound".He hopes to complete the set soon, so that Bumblebee have more toys to bully. Anyone with Shell petrol receipts amounting to more than RM 40, please do give em to the writer - but in the end, they all sound the same...(!)

Another case of a joker losing his plot....

JOBLESS GRAD LODGES POLICE REPORT OVER ELECTION PROMISE

SHAH ALAM, May 7 (Bernama) -- Feeling cheated, a Universiti Teknologi Mara graduate today lodged a police report over promises made by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and Pas during the March 8 general election. Unemployed Mohd Shaid Rosli, 26, who lodged the report at the Section 7 police station here, said he was disappointed with Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for not lowering quit rents as promised. PKR and Pas have promised to reduce quit rents on public housing by 20 percent and commercial premises by 10 percent in their election manifestos. Khalid said on Monday that the state government was not prepared to lower quit rents but would offer discounts on the fine for failure to pay up on time instead. Shaid said he lodged the report so that individuals and political parties would refrain from making promises which they could not meet in their manifestos in future elections. Shah Alam police chief ACP Noor Azam Jamaluddin confirmed receiving Shaid's report. -- BERNAMA MK ZUB JR

*lock and load...aim...fire!

No Job? Looking for something interesting to do? well lets make a police report to the current "Opposition Government"! who knows...? Maybe the BN will finally end this Shaid Rosli's UNEMPLOYMENT streak.

Got a lot of time to be disappointed with Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, huh...? why not use your free time surfing through job recruitment sites, eh...?

well im not in d mood of gomen bashing la,so... have u tried the Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam...? well maybe you have..and let me guess....failed? ghahahahaha...

dah la takde kerja, kasi malu UiTM pulak now....so do you think your alma matter would be so enthusiastic with your comical timing? haha. i got no bone to pick with you, its just i found it amusing, when an UNEMPLOYED 26 year old want to criticize and lodge a police report against the State Government....

"refrain from making promises which they could not meet in their manifestos in future elections..." ?

dude, instead of humming an old known crap, get a job! Have BN fulfileld their election promises before...? well paving the road 2 weeks prior to GE doesnt count!
My area was under BN, and on election day, they decided to "resurface" the road. siap took away the speedbump uphill towards my area. when BN lost, the work was left half-way! well no need to elaborate la....they said harga minyak wont naik after election. But harga Beras did...!

haha..who's his girlfiend? leave the loser, missy.

Iron Who....?

2008-05-08T10:08:00.002+08:00

Im a huge comic books fan. And i gotta agree, dat the recent Iron Man movie was a cool one.

But the fact is, if ure a comics follower, im sure that, even though you read titles from both publishers, you're a faithful to either DC Comics, or Marvel.

Well, if u read the smaller publishers (relatively, la) like Dark Horse, Top Cow or Vertigo, its allright. But still you must have a preferance, and most of all, yr favourite superhero.

Mine's the Batman.... inclusive of the "POW!", "THWACK!" and "THUD!" in the old series.

just recently saw the newest (ok, latest) trailer of the upcoming Batman movie : The Dark Knight....which pops out the query...err...Tony who...?

Kudos to the late Heath Ledger. You'll forever be remembered of bringing The Joker back to life.

"Here's my card..." ...dats a classic line...:)

1 - 0 to Raja Petra....! Kudos to RPK!

2008-04-28T12:11:00.003+08:00

Raja Petra Kamaruddin a.k.a Pete a.k.a RPK was on telly last night! YAY!

And i voluntarily tuned into RTM1 at 8.40 last night...first time after 10 years...? i dont know, just to catch the talk show, "LIVE"!

here are the snippets, now on YouTube!

Obviously the host had several questions he wanna shoot at RPK, in attempt to shut him off.well , since he's now on "Enemy's turf" (as RPK later said) .haha....
obviously the host is a BN supporter.his demeanor showed throughout, especially when RPK said dare i say, hard on remarks on the governance of Malaysia, Islam around the world, and also in response to the host's poke that "is freedom of speech : anarchy...?"

if the host's words are akin to a dagger, RPK's was a rocket launcher.obliterating any doubts.Kudos to RPK!

Clearly the host was blind sided by what he was gonna get, and moreover, ill prepared.

When asked what country is closest to the perfect governance, RPK's answer was Sweden.well, cakap banyak pun tak guna, catch the clips of the interview.in a three parter.

Enjoy!

RPK - RTM Interview PART 1

RPK -RTM Interview Part 2

RPK -RTM Interview Part 3

freedom of speech, well RTM surely started a good step towards it, Kudos to them too....what happens after this, well, i cant wait..!

Why sunscreen is important .....

2008-04-26T11:03:00.004+08:00

I first heard this song (or maybe skit) on Hitz.Fm, when i was in form 2...
(yes, they actually played proper music back then).

anyways, im a lyrics person, so the lyrics of this particular song sort of helped me in how i look at life; while growing up...

Happy to share with you all..

enjoy...
(now where can i get the Funky Chicken dance classes.....)

oh yeah.the lyrics of the song

Baz Lurhmann : Everybody is Free (to wear sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97,

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term
benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or
reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and
beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of
yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous
you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra
equation by chewing bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides
you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is
long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).

Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people
I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of Calcium. Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
divorce at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half
chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the
greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions (even if you don't follow them).

Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in
the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but what a precious few should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps
and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you
were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you
do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children
respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse,
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you are 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia;
dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and
recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me, on the sunscreen.

Extracted from Malaysiakini.com:

A former minister is being investigated by the police for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a five star hotel last week.

The incident is alleged to have happened on the night of April 14 in the hotel located near KL Sentral.

The former minister - dropped in the recently announced cabinet although he retained his parliamentary seat in the March 8 general election - was said to be drunk and had tried to caress the woman while she was serving drinks to him.

Kuala Lumpur CID Chief SAC II Ku Chin Wah said the woman, in her 30s and works at the hotel, lodged the report at the Brickfields police station last Friday.

Ku however refused to divulge more details but said the ex-minister was currently abroad and police would summon him for questioning upon his return.

He said police were investigating the case under Section 354 of the Penal Code which carries up to 10 years jail or a fine or whipping or any two.

The former minister is believed to be a frequent visitor to the hotel. He was embroiled in another controversy last year for allegedly making a racist remark.

************************************************************************************

And recently, the waitress involved have decided to withdraw the charges, citing that she was feeling"off" and made the report out of rage ,and that she misunderstood the minister's actions. She further claimed that the minister, a frequent visitor, always joke around, and that physical contact involving touching of shoulders was a norm.

hmmm.jangan Monyet.menyesal kamu nanti....

one thing though..when he did his exploration of "where no Minister has gone before", was he sober? cuz in my opinion, and my direct view as a dude, i wont try touching a girls's butt in any circumstances , sober or not; cuz risking yrself being tagged as a sex offender...ooooohhhooo......

so either he was drunk, or he's a down right pervert. Or a little bit of both...

WAIT.i heard he is a muslim...hmm..wat does a muslim has got to do going to a place serving alcohol? oh ok. he can take an overpriced coca cola la then.Not even a hint of JD innit. but still, why go there, when you can get Coke from the mamak for RM 1.80 only?

HMM....again,lets give him the benefit of the doubt la. He was drinking coke.And he's sober, err...touching a girls bum as an act of a joke? come on....you cheeky little monkey you....
How the police, or the people gonna take this, is anyone's guess...the blogsphere already know who this guy is.lets see whether he pops up again...

Lets play detective:
1. The incident is alleged to have happened on the night of April 14 in the hotel located near KL Sentral....

hmm.. KL Hilton? or d other one...?or the one across KL Sentral: Rumah Tumpangan Ah Keong...or watever...:P

2. The former minister - dropped in the recently announced cabinet although he retained his parliamentary seat in the March 8 general election - was said to be drunk and had tried to caress the woman while she was serving drinks to him.

(ok, he wasnt drinking coke then....=p)
* oh heck, he probably was practicing his dance move dancing to the tune of Akon's "Smack That".....

well i'll leave the rest to your imagination.

On a totally different note:

High Court to hear case over use of the word ‘Allah’

Posted on Malaysia-today.net
Thursday, 24 April 2008

Taken from:

(The Star) - The Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur Most Rev Datuk Murphy Pakiam will make an appearance at the High Court here tomorrow for a case over the use of the word “Allah.”

The Herald editor Rev Father Lawrence Andrew confirmed that the archbishop would be present when the court hears an application filed against the Government over the use of the word “Allah” in the Catholic weekly.

“This case is of national interest. It is not just a case for Catholics but for all Christians in Malaysia as it affects us all,” he said when contacted yesterday.

The Herald is seeking to quash the decision of the Internal Security Minister (whose ministry is now merged with the Home Affairs Ministry to form the Home Ministry) in a letter dated Feb 12, which imposed conditions on its publishing permit.

Among the conditions was a prohibition on the use of the word “Allah” in the Catholic weekly.

Pakiam, in his capacity as the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur, is named as the applicant in this action as publisher of The Herald.

He is also the president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.

Apart from this application, another suit had also been filed in December seeking, among others, to declare that the word “Allah” is not exclusive to the religion of Islam. The suit is still pending.

*************************************************************************************

Since when language belongs to a certain religion? heck.
Let me rephrase that. Since when the word "Allah" belong to the Government of Malaysia? Must Catholics ask permission to the Government before using it?

I say, Datuk Murphy Pakiam, screw them. No need to waste your time going up to court to fight for it. Tell me, if there is any other place in the world where you have to ask permission on how to refer your God as.
Ban Herald? well Thank You Sir. BN just gave the Pakatan Rakyat additional ammos to win over Sabah and Sarawak in the next General Election.

As i understand, Allah is not an Islamic word. Nor it is Malaysian, even more, not Malay. SO what right do they have to ban its usage in Churches?

It just amazes me how our taxpayers' money are being used in petty issues such as this. And to make it more interesting, it stemmed out from the Government.

How does, a Christian using the word "Allah" become an Internal Security concern? hmmm...i ask all Muslim readers ; do you feel offended if i say my prayers using the word "Allah"...?
or even, saying Allahu-akhbar...? well its just translated as God is Great aint it...?

I remember once in school, where non-muslim students were barred from saying and using the greeting "Assalamualaikum" (sorry if wrongly spelled).
To avoid Muslim students from answering " Waalakum-sallam" to it, cuz according to the Ustaz, it's "haram"...!
Since when Arabic is specialized to Muslims? or in fact , to Malay Muslims?

Its sort of drilled into the heads since young, all can say.Right down to the core of our education system.

Is this Islam Hadhari? Well u tell me. Religious tolerance.riiiight. Next what, Pak Lah? No sleeping in the office...?

I hope Malaysians in all, can see thru this crap, and what type of ride we are being taken on. We saw what the people's voice can do last 8th March.And heck, i'm sure we're gonna witness a bigger one 4-5 years down the road.

Sometimes, you just gotta let sleeping dogs lie i guess. Biarkan Luncai terjun with his labu, and let the monyet eat the cili.

The ignorant can be taught, but the idiot can never be cured.....

Always two sides on the coin, in this case, Pakatan Rakyat have just received another ammo in the bag. Thank you, Brainless Nincumpoops.

enjoy !

Look what i found on the Internet....(1)

2008-04-21T12:56:00.004+08:00

Mondays: The dreaded day of the week. so after getting most of my stuff sorted, i surfed for crap. and way hey! look what i've found!

There's this site where it specializes in giving out ideas on how to insult people.YAY! plus, they have a section where you , (yes, YOU!) can learn on how to insult in foreign languages!

And guess what? They have "How do i swear in Malaysian ? " ....(!)
well, they should have said in Malay, but to look back on the list, i guess "Malaysian" is more appropriate. since "PUKI THIAM" is in fact, "Malaysian" language.
so there....

ok. so naturally, out of sheer curiosity (yeah right), i clicked. and now, am happy to share..heheh..how foreigners interpret our curses....

How do I swear in Malaysian ?

anak haram - bastard

puki/pepet/cibai/pantat - pussy

bontot - ass

puki mak - your mothers pussy

saya hendak pukimak - I want your mothers pussy

hisap telur - Suck my balls

konek - dick

tetek - boobs

butoh - asshole

bodoh - dumb ass/stupid

chilaka - damn it/'fuckin hell'

puki-thiam - whore house

bohsia - young horny slut

i guess when "rempit" comes in, the translation would be "brainless fucker lying on a high speed moving motorbike while abiding the "wear your helmet" law "

Now. well i guess it still need some working here and there. Please do add if you have any "creative" ones. Me and my mates created "Jauh Raja Pantai" in school, to avoid "cursing detection".
Translate "Jauh Raja Pantai" word by word in sequence in English, wnad what it sounds like....? Far...King....Beach!

ok.

anyways, lets see how other countries measure up against our "local swearing"....

err ..they didnt have those in Mis Tres Hermanas, or Rosalinda...(what a way to start your week eh...)

well there are still loadsa curses, but i guess the top ones are:

med ballene mine. - I stretched your sisters ass
while your retarded dad stood
behind me and fumbled my balls (Norwegian)

for more insults :
http://www.insults.net/html/swear/index.html

pretty much bummed to write anything constructive...so i'll drop it here.

Later, people....

- the author is a Malaysian chap who uses multi-language curses to get through the day. Eventhough he's is a "mixed-breed", he cant speak his parents'mother tongue for nuts. instead, he learns snippets and phrases of foreign languages from TV serials, anime, manga, Latin Soap operas, Korean Dramas, Japanese Shows (Ultraman !) etc.
Together with his mates coined the goodbye salutaion of "Ciao-cincau- kepal-lanciau" in Univ as a standard send off. Not a casual swearer, but able to live it up when required.

Michael Jackson's lesson on color....

2008-04-18T09:17:00.005+08:00

Im not much of a Michael Jackson fan, but some of his songs are ok to be honest. Billie Jean being one of my fav.

But i was introduced to Michael Jackson when my dad bought his "Dangerous" album in 1990.And the "hot" song at the time on radio, and constantly shown on TV was "Black or White". With the Home Alone kid, McCaulay Culkin blasting off his dad with a huge speaker system .

"EAT THIS" was a staple "in your face" expression followed by kids back then.haha...

Wasnt really aware of the lyrics back then. wat do u expect? i was 6. But it dawnd to me a few years later.ok 2 years.wheni found back the old tape cover, and i paid attention to the lyrics. And a rapping part in the song ended up with

"I'm not gonna spend my life being a color"

oh heck. here are the lyrics.

"Black Or White"

I Took My Baby
On A Saturday Bang
Boy Is That Girl With You
Yes We're One And The Same

Now I Believe In Miracles
And A Miracle
Has Happened Tonight

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

They Print My Message
In The Saturday Sun
I Had To Tell Them
I Ain't Second To None

And I Told About Equality
An It's True
Either You're Wrong
Or You're Right

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

I Am Tired Of This Devil
I Am Tired Of This Stuff
I Am Tired Of This Business
Sew When The
Going Gets Rough
I Ain't Scared Of
Your Brother
I Ain't Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain't Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The
Goin' Gets Mean

[L. T. B. Rap Performance]
Protection
For Gangs, Clubs
And Nations
Causing Grief In
Human Relations
It's A Turf War
On A Global Scale
I'd Rather Hear Both Sides
Of The Tale
See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color

[Michael]
Don't Tell Me You Agree With Me
When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye

But, If
You're Thinkin' About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Brother
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now
Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo

Now.if only those keris wielding people in UMNO knew better about racial relationship.

Well as for Michael, he turned into white.(the irony). still, this song pretty much sums up my understanding and approach to different ethnic relations; I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of Being My Brother It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White.

Enjoy the video!

Local Politicians : Technical (and also "additional" other skills required) skills to be one

2008-04-16T17:50:00.003+08:00

Want to run as a candidate under the Government banner in the next election...?
No problem! Open up a blog,and you're one step closer...!
Blog tips? no problem Learn from Ali Rustam, and also Khir Toyo!
Dont forget to tick the "comments require approval" and also hire some ass kissers too ya!

If you get too many "spicy comments", dont fret. You are now being hacked! quick! disable them comments!

This edition however, is a rough guide in becoming an MP in Malaysia! not necessarily under the Gov, it covers all.

Well yeah, u need to win a parliment seat bla bla bla. but im gonna talk about the intricate details / stuff u never noticed u need in order to be a successful MP once u won yr seat. Also , it helps to give u an MP vibe...

One, you must look good in a songkok.or any other traditional attire.
also, you must have strong hands.and practice touching your chest after every handshake.also , practise the "wave". Not the "Princess" wave. but the "YO, i hear you" wave.

LEARN TO CONTROL A CRANE or a jackhammer. Prepare for majlis pecah tanah loh...or at least learn to look good and dignified while wielding a cangkul or a spade.

Practise your ribbon cutting skills. I've seen loads politicians making a fool out of themselves, by criss-crossing their hands while cutting a ribbon to officiate an event. right hand on scissors, swing over the left hand to cut the other side....
also, learn to look enthusiastic, no matter how trivial the matter is. this is, anyway, your PR skills. Learn to cut the rope holding down the balloons.dont cut the balloons.

learn to create a "clap line" in your speeches. to make things easy, just hire some kakis to do it for you.

altho i heard of some big shot,a while ago, who instead of getting his speech, was given the food menu. And without realizing this, started his speech by saying "Menu..." before realizing it. Imagine if he went on...saying "Mee Kari tiga dua belas ringgit untuk besar"....!

back to "clap lines". create a vibe, that when u are done with a line and in the process of catching your breath, the people clap.

also,get ready lose your dignity, by getting ready to participate in a mass aerobic exercise, while wearing white sports pants, and doing the stationary jog routine, in any lake garden. in a sense, if u wanna be an MB, get ready to lose several notches in your "cool factor".

buy a hidden camera detector! nuff said, u dnt wanna be along the lines of a porn star.but hey, ure in the same bracket as Paris Hilton if you do...

ahh...the requirements....

i'll pass..! (as in forego!)

When the sound comes out not from your mouth hole...it came from the other one....

2008-04-14T09:30:00.008+08:00

Well if you've been reading my blog for sometime, you'll notice i'm not really a fan of quoting whole texts from sites/ sources. But i'll make this time an exception.
I saw this report clip shown on TV3 the other night, and it prompted me to check who is this dude. Suddenly coming out giving seriously damaging remarks, and believe me, put some dude other than a Malays Royalty saying that, (or any BN Politicians), shit. You're in a situation where it "really hits the fan".

Firstly, lets have a gist on whats reported on Malaysiakini, regarding the whole incident.

Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality
(From Malaysiakini website)

Kelantan Crown Prince Tengku Faris Petra said today that Malays had been coerced into giving non-Malays citizenship and the latter should therefore not seek equality or special treatment.

He said this during his keynote speech at a forum titled “Malay unity is the core of national unity” organised by the newly formed Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu in Kuala Lumpur today.

Speaking to a crowd of about 1,000 people, Tengku Faris said the Malay rulers would be an umbrella to foster unity among all Malaysians, based on the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara.

“Therefore, the rakyat must unite and never raise issues regarding Malay rights and special privileges because it is a quid pro quo in gratitude for the giving in of citizenship (beri-paksa kerakyatan) to 2.7 million non-Malays into the Tanah Melayu federation.

“Thus, it is not appropriate for these other ethnic groups to have citizenship, only (later) to seek equality and privileges,” said Tengku Faris, who read from a 11-page prepared text.

However, the crown prince stressed that in an effort to unite the Malays, non-Malays also have rights that must be protected, such as in areas of religion.

As an example, Tengku Faris said non-Malays are allowed to practice their respective religions in peace. They must however do so in accordance with the law and “not be provocative towards Islam”.

“The Malay rulers are the head of the Islamic religion and Malaysia is a Islamic country (negara Islam), not secular. We have our own formula (as a country) which is different from others,” he added, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd.

‘Dominance’

He added that the effort to instill Malay unity and defend Malay special rights does not mean that other races would be ignored.

“In fact, if Malay rights and special privileges are taken care of and is not disturbed, it would ensure national harmony. It does not just benefit the Malays but all ethnic groups,” he said.

In his speech, Tengku Raris said the 12th General Election results have shown that the Malays are being “challenged” and thus Malays unity is of the out most priority.

“The election results have shown that the Malays are disunited and facing other ethnic groups who are more dominant politically and economically,” he said.

As the constitution provides that the Malays are the natives (penduduk asal) of Malaysia, Tengku Faris said every Malay must defend the constitution and Islam and this can only be achieved through Malay unity.

“We have to make an effort to unite. Don’t spilt up. Avoid polemics that can distance us. Ideology (and) having different interpretations does not contribute to Malay unity.

“Discussing about polemics such as Islamic state, secular state, welfare state... confuses the people... Resulting from this confusion, Malays are becoming more disillusioned,” he added.

I dont know about you, but i think what he said is all bullshit. Living in the 21st century and still harping your tribal mentality shows how low you have sunk. Well yeah , i agree, as a royalty, you are entrusted with the responsibility of instilling a sense security and assurance in your people.

and also, its implying that we citizens, are stupid. Well in the 80s where you can harp on with your racist bullshit behind closed doors,with the assumption the "others" wont hear you, now you're just showing yourself as being plain naive.

Well i'm not Malay, and i'll never understand the whole concept of ketuanan Malayu.
Nonetheless, i respect my Malay friends. Not for their Malay status, but for how they carry themselves. Mind you, that almost all believe in equality, meritocracy, and never a hint of racism in them.
Also, apart from the second Rukunegara : Kesetiaan Kepada Raja dan Negara, i dont understand the blind faith entrusted on certain people, who happens to be at the top, "Just Because". Still, i do get the understanding on why the Malay society look

Then Tengku Faris implied that the Malays are in disunity. Well sir, would not you agree that the root cause of this is solely traced to the pre March 8 election Government? That the BN government has lead to the mishandling of our country, in which lead to your so called disunity? That the racial based politics , in which BN has been relying

Just because some quarters have their own views, and are not "with" UMNO, does this constitute disunity? Or are you encouraging a herd mentality, or expecting Malays to have one?.Cuz if you are, you my friend, have just demeaned Malays in Malaysia.Herd mentality is for animals.And when you love to laud the "West"'s unilateral stand of "Either you are with us, or you're with the enemy", you have just spat to the sky.

I thought royalty in Malaysia should be neutral.That is, unless you decided to be actively involved in politics, and made your affiliations well known. So this call to rally and "stand together so that other races wont trample us" and "put these non-malays back to where they belong" pretty much sums up his mental state.

Guess this racial mentality was pretty much hardwired into us, since we are in primary schools even. I didnt serap banyak during my 1st year in skool, wch lead me to saying this i guess.haha. Well i remember then, that its either you're malay, or not malay.

Thank God i grew up not subscribing to it, cuz you see, being a mixed breed, i just cant fathom the racist mentality. Well sterotyping is normal. Overly critical is another, but racist is not one of them.

SO it just riles me up whenever i hear someone, supposedly of a "better" breed crapping.

The mass media luv to play the agenda that the Malays lost to the Chinese in the recent election. Come on. If BN won only 50.xxx % of the votes, how come you say the Chinese won it? cuz even if 100% of the Chinese voted against BN, they only constitute roughly 30% of Malaysians. Furthermore, The Pakatan Rakyat is (if according to BN style judgement) 2/3 Malay. PAS+PKR. Ok la, 1/2, if u wanna say that PKR is the middle ground. WHich goes to show, BN lost not because of the Chinese, or the Indians. They lost because MALAYSIANS dont agree with them.

so if u wanna say that you lost some seats because the chinese didnt vote for you, so wouldnt you agree that you won cuz a small section of Chinese, Indians and a HUGE CHUNK if not all East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), where a high percentage of your votes are from non-malay bumis?

Simple racist math will show that BN would have got the 2/3 majority if all the Malays voted for UMNO. Sorry.It didnt happen.meaning? Not all Malays are racist.and that race has nothing to do with the color of yr skin.

So to racist people up there, dont forget who put u p, and dont demonize people juz cuz they didnt agree with you.

Anyways, ENJOY THE VID BELOW! nothing to do with politics!

Just got Kanye West + Chris Martin ; Homecoming video! Could do a remix for Cheras.haha.
Chi City for Chicago.... Che City...Che City....

Sideshows worthy of being mainstream....

2008-04-08T10:04:00.003+08:00

was enjoying the idiot box last night. CSI -New York was on, and soon after was either Gen X Cops, or Prison Break.Gave in to watching Gen X cops in the end.ahaha.
anyways, im not gonna yack about tv shows.im gonna yak about what's in between. the commercials. The bane of terrestrial TV. Especially when its shown during your favourite show ; in my case would be Futurama, The Simpsons, and Family Guy (which if i may add, was shown last time).

Over the years,I learned to like commercials.The creative / funky way of presenting stuff.One of my current fav is the Fed Ex "which one is Mr Zhang". The part in the end was arguing with his boss in a Chinese dialect "which Zhang...?". Considering that there are millions of Zhangs in China.LOL.

Another classic favourite would be a banking advert,(or was it insurance) where two guys are at a maternity ward.Obviously anxious dad-to-be looking.The first dude who was reading paper said to the other guy... "You Know ah...when our kids grow up, it will cost you one million ringgit each to get them a Degree..." , responded with a "so it is" agreeing nod by the other guy.
The a nurse came over to the First Dude, telling him "Congratulation' Sir. Your get quadruplet's..." (!)

well imnot gonna talk about my fav shows or adverts.No..No..im gonna talk about adverts which i believe are a tad corny, ridiculous, or downright boring.

remember those milk formula for babies advert? I just hate it when the announcer tries to sound scientific by saying something along the lines of " diperkayakan dengan ga, sa dan da"....no. its not that these formula are enriched with these syllables. Instead he was trying to say G-A, S-A and D-A.

or another one : pakar Pergigian mengesyorkan C******...! Then a dude or lady in all white lab coats preaching the "goodness" of the brand.
I dunno whether its their real name, funnily though "Pakar Pergigian " was typed with a larger font. Oh well. to add to the ridiculousness of it, this pakar pergigian gives a school text book explanation. LOL.

Tampons always end up as a quirky thing in adverts. Once there was a dude, Vince Chong who was the main model for a pad brand. Then you get to see girls bouncing over a ball on the beach for no apparent reason. in all whites. Why wear all white to the beach is one thing. But tell me seriously, girls all this "happy" during period period meh? Ok.fair.its to show that they're confident and jovial ; no worries on leaks! Still, it amuses me when you try to figure out what these commercial people are trying to convey. Another dumb one is when they show a guy and a girl, racing on mountain bikes. SO in front of them the road was narrowed cuz there is a pile of dirt in the middle. The dude took the "safe way" by taking the side jalan. The girl? No..She s confident, sped up, and did a motocross jump over the mound. Landing safely, and the camera zooms up to her butt, showing no signs of moisture. well the tag line was smtg like "confidence not affected" apparently cuz the pads serap betul2 la.

But come on. Why didn't the guy attempt it?
simple.cuz he's a guy with balls.
one, he's wearing a biker's tights.
Two, biker tights , you cant wear a ball-cup.
Three, doing that kind of stunt, given the fact that he has no "protection" whatsoever is suicide, when attempted with a mountain bike. So would you risk busting your balls (literally) just to impress the girl? hell no! which goes to show that the guy in the advert, is clever.aaaa!

Ok. this Gillette advert: with Thierry Henry, Roger Federrer and Tiger Woods. Heck, i don't get it. These three are clean shaven all the time. So i don't see the relevance of the iklan. You get me? Imagine using a well known bald guy as a model in a hair loss / hair removal advert. Its stupid.

Local broadband services.Now these ones take the cake. Connect in a jiffy and submit your assignment in a flash with the broadband service, during the day? WOW.If only it was true.Hmm. Plagiarism? ahaha....

Then a local telco, Celcom showing their "free 3000 sms upon signing" plan.riight. SMS 3000 friends to meet u up cuz u just broke up.heh. guess they're assuming their users have peanuts for brains.

another one being John Terry and Ryan Giggs kicking the ball around...then saying "Celcom.The power is in your hands...".aiik? bukan just now you were using yr legs ka?
if the spokesperson is Petr Cech ka, van Der Sar ka, or even Peter Crouch, i get it la, "Power is in your hands".but outfield players? hmmm...

Somehow the Digi's "I will follow you" yellow guy is kinda disturbing. Considering i have a dislike for overweight people in costumes, and also clowns, it does not go down very well with me. Still, im a Digi subscriber.aiiya.

and Maxis.is it just me, or do their adverts are a tad too "O.C - One Tree Hill-y"...?come on. kids in Malaysia like that? be serious.

Few weeks ago, F1 was in town. and so they had this simulator race la at the concourse of Mid valley. By Tag Heuer. We all know Tag Heuer's main model in the F1 is Kimi Raikonnen and Lewis Hamilton.So when this huge bunting read out : meet Tag Heuer ambassador : jeng jeng jeng...Maya Karin! W.T.F?
She couldn't TELL THE DIFF OF A CHICANE FROM A HAIRPIN, and yet, she's the special guest.

still, my fav iklan? well it will never be shown in Malaysia, dats for sure. But try Youtube-ing it. Kylie Minogue for lingerie brand Agent Provocateur. wooh.
Kylie minogue + lingerie + mechanical bull...?

luv u kylie. Cancer and all...=]

later people.

enjoy your commercial breaks....

-the writer is a serious tele commercial critic. now have expanded his expertise to criticize radio commercials too.drop feedbacks here. if any.

I typed what i thought, and i kept on typing.....

2008-03-17T13:48:00.000+08:00

"I meant what i said.And i said what i meant". so said the dumb elephant in the movie trailer.
So, do we live with that? well i do.

Which diverts to the cause of me diverting the oh-so-frequently-recently politically related entries of my blog.

this time, lets get a bit less tense.nonetheless, ill still be (very) critical on stuff.

some stuff just drive you mad, aint it?

like ambulance tailgaters, or even worse, emergency lane-rs during traffic crawl.and the perennial bane; people who tailgate.well if you're drivin a Skyline GT R-34, and im hogging your lane, by all means, ill give way.
But lower powered cars, and trying to put up a race...? heck, just overtake me, and dont make a fuss about it will ya?

well i dont see the logic of making roads as race circuits, but sometimes u got to give these duds a whiff of smoke. nuff said.

well im yapping abt driving cuz, i got stuck in a bloody jam few days ago.rain a bit, and you get hell in KL. Err.. wat was it again...? The SMUT tunnel? ahaha. the complaints and all, of the jams being caused when they closed it down earlier in the week, and the apparent reason that it is done to mitigate flood water. riight.open it up again, and what you get, a lil downpour, and shit all over again.

projek shiok sendiri? wat else it is then? if its supposed to solve flood problems in KL, then it has failed. Big time.

speaking of shiok sendiri, cant any Malaysian award show get anymore self indulgent, and more pathetic than the recent Anygerah Berita Harian?
every other minute, they'll take the opportunity to mention their corporate sponsor's name.not forgetting which designer sponsired their baju kebaya.haha. laughing stock. not to forget the two old makciks who acted like tai-tais on helium.
and its tad predictable. im not really into local entertainment, but im ok la. so-so.
so when a category is mentioned, and the calon-calonya ialah is read out, i picked 90% of the winners right.aha! so wats the point of it yeah? its a no brainer!

So , now the Guv finally admit they lost the "cyber war". bodoh gak korang ni kan...?
ada MSC, but claimed u guys tak cukup perihatin on the ongoings in the blogsphere. its like not knowing what your kid is being up to lately.
"What...??? IM A Grandfather now... When did you reach puberty????!!! "
i mean COME ON!

So now Mr Dentist Toyo have started blogging. hehe. i read it. and boy, talk about self indulgent. in a sentence: the internet version of TV3, TV1 & 2, Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia & Radio 1 bundled into one.

On the one cent usage, and the rounding up of the total bill; they have this iklan on radio, even in English stations about it. Well the conversation went like :

counter - heres your total , ma'am.(something something) ringgit and (something something)sen. So i'll round it up to (something round figure la). As of 1st April the amount on total bills are rounded up ...bla bla bla....
lady - so its now cepat and senang kira, and my pocket wont be so heavy !
(insert half hearted laugh)

and out of a sudden, a dude's voice went..."oooohooooo yeaaahhh.....! " on the background!
what the fuck is all that? i tell you..i bet this is one of the Penerbitan Filem Negara, or anything from the Kementerian Penerangan. Please correct me on this ya.

anyways,i concluded, based on several years of observation on TV1, TV2 and other RTM based broadcast,if the media/ info conveyed comes from the kerajaan , it must be or must have;

1. the colors are saturated. like the film is dropped in bleach or smtg...making the images look like it came from a 70's TV show,eventhough the picture clearly show its as recent as 2007.
2. they must show a combine harvester in it. you know that thing they use to harvest paddy? ahh. that one. usually in full operation mode, spewing paddy husks in full throttle.complete with a split screen of a dude with his water buffalo.
3. they must have marching soldiers from any National day celebration
4. they must include a lauching of the latest Proton or Perodua. complete with glaring strobe lights effect.
5. some MB whacking a gong.or cutting a ribbon.
6. some MB on a crane, or some majlis pecah tanah.
7. KLCC water park complete with the twin towers at the back.
8. The Penang bridge (surprisingly with only Protons on it! - where are the Mercs?)
9. national badminton in ill fitting tight hot pants which may very well jeopardise their fatherhood chances - the pre 1996 times.
10. Nicol Ann David's fangs.(no offense Nicol)

so who are these uncreative lot in Jabatan Filem Negara(or whatever it is called?)

The only good line or one off success production must be the Kancil dan Buaya cartoon, or Kancil dan Monyet "jangan , Monyet...menyesal kamu nanti...!"

and while Japanese cartoons are constantly being dubbed and brought into, and dubbed terribly if i may add, our own local cartoons turned for the worse.

Notable good local ones would be Keluang Man. Fuckin hilarious.stop.Usop Santorian is a tad racist if you ask me, typical stereotyping where the Singh must be the klutz, spewing "AIIIYOYO" at every possible sentence.Just another cartoon version of Pi Mai Pi Mai tang Tu.

Gotta miss the old days, when cartoos are REAL cartoons.Have you seen the new Transformers cartoon on TV3?crap! GI Joe, Voltron, Kickers, He-Man, Transformers, Robotech, Patlabor, Thundercats...now those are real cartoons! I pity lil kids nowadays....

having said that, illleave it here. gotta catch up with the new transformers models on sale...=]

later!

WE ARE NOT STUPID!

2008-03-14T12:51:00.000+08:00

Well. The election results was a shocker.
I had this feeling that Kelantan and Penang would go to the oppos. But Selangor?
Thats some huge news.

Declined to go out to watch the Liverpool Newcastle game that night, cuz i wanted to know the results in "real time" .konon la.

8p.m and still no official result out....? Official as in out on TV la.
So i had several "ears" and "eyes" who updated me constantly. Via internet, which is pretty quick, but results disputable, and by word of mouth, which lagi la disputable, but nonetheless lagi la updated by the minute (cuz apparently get connections with someone up high among the oppos, so they had a first hand on the current vote count)....

Stayed up till 3 the next day. The price on Pak Lah's face announcing the win : Priceless. Suka dalam duka style! man i hope its on Youtube.

Ok, anyways, im gonna give my 2 cents on the results yeah.

A record result for the oppos! Yay! which goes to show that we 70' - 80's babies are not stupid!
When it dawned that the coalition party lost, all these excuses come out.
- they voted out of their hearts, not their brains
- they dont know what they are doing...
- they trust the internet too much....
- they only believe in one media channel- the internet
- they "terpedaya" with the pembangkangs.

but you know what i think of these excuses...?

APE...?KAU INGAT KITORANG BODOH?

so long have we been governed by racists people, who only care about their own cronies, pockets and "bangsa", that they forget that other people actually think, and unlike your so called "penyokong setias", we have brains.

its a Hang Tuah syndrome. i agree with some quarters who say that "blind" faith is warryingly huge in Malaysia. So, support them just cuz they are Melayu, like you, and Islam like you?
or Support according to your bangsa?

come on. Terperdaya with the internet? heyy come on. Turn on the TV, and what you see? 100% propaganda for the Gov. Equal channel for the oppos to campaign my foot. We can surf, so we did.
We can think, and so we did. We can decide, and so we did. We can vote, and voted have we.

the answers are clear.

PADE DOH! PAKAT KELIK NGUNDI.
Thats your motto to win back Kelantan, well thats our reply too to your governing of the country.
We've had enough of this. Lets Vote! PADE MUKO!

Considering that in Sabah and Sarawak,you won 99% of the seats there, and you only lost one Parlimentary seat in Sarawak, shows that these people still believe in you. Do well, and give em what they re due. Sarawak needs progress! So if they still need helis to get around, well, PAKAT KELIK NGUNDI again in 5 years!

Thus Sabah and Sarawak deserve to have more reps in Parliment.Cuz by not doing so, you are belittling the people of both states. Cuz im sure as hell that one vote from Sabah is no less valuable from yr Peninsular votes.

Mula la the Barisan people say "kita lihat sama ada mereka boleh mengotakan janji mereka"...
"Harga minyak turun 30 cents...".

Come on! You rule in parliment! only the Federal Government can reduce the price of petrol. Well give the oppos 2/3rd of the seats la, then test them with the question .

You think by saying "kita lihat sama ada mereka kotakan janji mereka"...and harp on the petrol issue, in hope that we say that the oppos dont keep their promise...?

APE KO INGAT KITORANG BODOH...?

grow up man.

and lastly, im not gonna point to anyone, but i wanna raise the fact that in Japan, if a samurai kalah, he bunuh diri woo. In another word, you undur diri la.take blame for your defeat, and let other people take over.

Kudos to Koh Tsu Khoon. He's a gentleman in everyway, the way he accept defeat, and taking account on it. Ong Ka Ting, who still had some honor in him, and Samy Vellu. I reserve respect , still to you guys for doing what you did. But not to "Sleepy" from Snow White.

Better jump now, before the boat pulls you down with it, and while yr maruah still got ma.....

KITORANG TAU KAU TAK BODOH.

Marilahh marii......

2008-02-25T13:48:00.000+08:00

For the past bloody week, i was swamped with the news being a massive one sided campaign.

still, you cant help but wander how would our lives change once its over. well, the Guv said oil prices will stay. but for how long ?
anyways, roads around my area is finally getting its long due "turap-ing".

recently the plan to use indelible ink was scrapped. last minute thing. We Malaysians wat...? normal mah. just that i wonder what are the unusable indelible inks will be used as after this?

another thing, errr...wat about the money used to purchase em? anyone profiting from : 1. the initial purchase? 2. the cancellation of this crap. hmmm. i wonder.
we have loadsa fun with conspiracy theories during the election period. so theres another one for ya.

Shift from the election topic, so lets go to the local shit served in the TV. Few weeks ago i read some quarters bengang with Astro Vaanavil for showing a serial , as i understand an INDIAN INDIAN production, with the almost half of the cast comprising MALAYSIAN INDIAN. What bugged them to write in with a fuckedupedly bengangness was that how MALAYSIAN INDIANS was portrayed. that the women roles were degraded in the show, and that it is totally unacceptable to be even put on air.

fair point. but come on. wats the diff with Hindi and Tamil movies? was that a high rate of suicide cases among a particular race was needed for them to figure out that we're dished with shit, local or internationally on say, hourly basis?

lets not just hantam one bangsa, cuz if you ask me, the only, or if not, 90% of Malay series (minus kisah benar and Senario) shown lingers around the theme of :

1. super rich Malay family, with the main character's dad is the current alpha male. owns a huge company, with a window overlooking KLCC. Must own a Mercedes. Must own a stupid looking set of ties, briefcase, and with a wife in tow, complete with huge gulis (marbles) around her neck.

2. and this dude, has a family member who tak puas hati, and wanna take over. sounds familiar? erm, wat next. the dad naturally dies, or maybe goes cookoo. then the "greedy|" family member (usually younger sibling) will take over, and do all sorts of shit. you know wat i mean.

SO, why dont any one ever complain about this stereotyping? apart from a low cost imported tamil movie, the theme of family feud over business+corruption exist only in sorry to say, Malay dramas.

come on tv production houses, we need good stuff on TV.

Still on TV, lets go to the iklans.
"Katakan Ya! to Yakult!" wat de fuck?

so katakan Veee! to Vitagen"...?

and whenever you see some milk formula, the caption along the lines of "diperkayakan dengan SA, DA, HA dan GA..." . Does this suppose to make the stuff more believable?
haiiimehhhh?

and the Listerine iklan. The dude crooning over the product will have his/her name with "Pakar Pergigian" etched below it.Pakar pergigian?

so you need a second job as a product spokesperson, cuz your profession aint sufficient? leave it to the Paris Hiltons out there dude.

hmm. im not so sure about it, but im sure professionals have an understood code, where you dont endorse stuff.

and in continuation of more irritating words:

1. menggembleng. dats goat language!
2. rentetan. tet-tet-tet-tet.....
3. nestapa. Nestle's follow up product to Nescafe : The Nestle Tapai: Nestapa!
4. panca indera: Punch Indera!
5. menguis. frequently used in the local football commentary. say it quick in front of a mirror, and look how redicullous you look.

6. kekang.
7. rakus
8. bingkisan.
9. wobble.
10. burly
11. bulwark.

there.

seatbelt.drink.drive.indicate.voice out.vote.read.evaluate.dont be a ponce.

vote wisely people. and remember, theres always 2 sides on a coin.

an overdose of citrus....

2008-02-12T15:21:00.000+08:00

Kong Hee,Kong Xi, KONGSI...watever, happy new year!

yeah! and ive been eating too many oranges for my own good, down with a blocked nose la pulak now.

its okay.more oranges: more vitamin C!

anyways, ive been catching up with the idiot box: the TV more frequently nowadays, and yeah, i noticed in the news, wow, its darn good to be a Malaysian around GE time huh...?

Sarawak pun tak dilepaskan. Started with Peninsular states, now dah sampai Sabah and Sarawak.well well...

heyy encik BARANG NAIK (BN) , when la wanna turap the jalan leading up to my place? cars sangkut at the hole da..and the street lights...come la encik., muka sapa nak mintak our votes pun dah muncul, i kid you not.

This dude's (Adun Dusun Tua i think) popped everywhere! days before CNY, i finally saw the supposedly ADUN's face, adorning a banner wishing Kong Xi Fa Cai, Undi Jangan Lupa ! ( i made up the second line)

ok.been traveling quite a bit for the past few weeks...Malacca, Morib, Bagan Lalang and Hulu Langat-Congkak area (out of a freakin boredom) , so izinkanlah saya menjadi tour guide anda yang tak berapa bertauliah.

Malacca is surprisingly hip.wow.seriouslybeen to malacca several times already (sent my sis to MMU) , but just recently only dropped by the city at night, on a Saturday night may i clarify, and bloody hell, its a good place to be.

Jonker Street was helluva place. greeted by this uncle who, using his Chi Gong can create holes on a coconut! only using his thumb! why the hell you want to create holes on a coconut using your thumbs is anyone's guess.sure is a great form of entertainment though.

And its also a place to buy smoked sotong. fuckin addictive! i kid you not!
and its also a place to watch golden aged ladies doing their apparently, line dancing routine. so kiddide, if you wanna see old timers swinging their hips like Kylie Minogue with too much sucrose, Jonker's Street is the place to be.

In a (coco)nut shell, looking forward to revisit melaka.=]

Ok. CNY, the whole family decided to go on a roadtrip. So went to Pantai Morib, and Bagan lalang in Sepang. Where the planned "Malaysian Gold Coast" is being planned. that huge "palm-leaf lookalike structure when seen from the sky" thing, built on water.
needless there are loadsa people,mandi laut! i dont, neither any of my family. Being there just to see the sunset is more than worth the journey.here's a verdict of the place: not much different from Port DICKson. i was told most people who are there, sort of diverted from Port DICKson.which explains all. How Malaysians care for our environment.....haha.
well, seeing a lady washing plates , with beehoon, nasik and tulang ayam in tow at the beach is enough to explain it.

Ok.

latest shit on TV, and around.....

i cant help but keep on tembaking the gov nowadays, since thats almost everything thats being reported in TV (local) and the papers. Heyy, im all good if you wanna improve the rakyat's living. fine by me. but doing it once every 4-5 years, and when nearing the GE date...?come on. its like teenagers suddenly doing our (urm..our? ) housework nearing allowance day.

come on. and another thing is the guessing game of when the Parliament is gonna be dissolved. Why cant we have a specific date like they do in America? beats the trouble of people speculating and false alarms aint it?

and of "Clean Elections"...indelible ink, and transparent boxes is not enough. so yeah you " fulfilled" several of the requested issues by BERSIH. But hey wait...only the physical changes? what about the even coverage of the gov and the oppo parties? Obama VS Hillary , and elections to search for the next Republican representative is widely shown on telly. do we see a preference and imbalance of coverage? NO!

well if they say "opposition parties in Malaysia dont have anything to laud for in their campaigns"...

well at least provide a level playing field kan? if they really can only spew shit out of their feed holes. let us hear it ourselves, in the open, and let the people judge. instead of giving us " just listen what the Gov's got to say, leave the oppo out" without providing your rakyat proper channel to both sides.

and TV3, The Star, NSTP etc. come on. i didnt take any journalism related studies, but i sure know that the press should remain neutral. You guys? haha. no wonder you guys flip whenever foreign bodies point out the so-called press freedom in Malaysia.

Anyways, as for the GE, make your voices be heard people., and come out to vote.
Vote because of the candidate, not for the party.

lastly, me and my sis have been creating this list of words you find irritating, shitty, tad over used, and just simply annoying.

The list follows (language in parentheses):

- seantero (BM) : overly used by smartassed kids in Sekolah Menengah in their karangan.

- anjakan paradigma (BM) : another word we both agree to be top class annoying. also very frequently used in smart-assed kids in their karangans.

- globalisasi (BM) : overly used one. tell it to the newscasters.

- busana (BM) : huh?

- swashbuckling (Eng) : what the fuck is a swashbuckle?!!! and why must only pirates who do the buckling of the swash...?!!!!

- modal-insan (BM) : supposedly human capitol.hmmm.so anything sounding like "modal-insan kepunyaan insan" coming up...?

- serviette (Eng) : just call the bloody thing a handkerchief would ya...?!

anymore words...? do drop a line.
also, this reminds me of several people i knew in school who try their best to make their essays, or karangans sound like something taken our of JRR Tolkien, Lee Harper or Mario Puzzo's books. in a nutshell: show-offs.

bet you know someone who must have at least two "bombastic-words" crammed into their writings eh...?

haha.

i did.or maybe, i still do...

uno in 2008.

2008-01-22T15:21:00.001+08:00

yes.blog no.1 for 2008.
and what a year 2007 was.well, lets see my RM 0.02 on it yeah?

few days back, i heard that Thaipusam is now a public holiday. hmmm.its that season again.where pot holes are covered, roads are turap-ed, street lights are erected, and holidays are aplenty.

All it takes are a few thousand Indians to gather, get sprayed with "chemical-laced" water, and voila! you get yourselves a holiday, or anything else around this period. dare i say that what was requested be a tong full of murukkus, it will be granted?

come on. Election near, anything , semuanya OK!

VK Lingam saga. Oh darn I still cant find the "Lingam was Talking to Me" t-shirt. darn cool. and yeah, Melayu mudah lupa- well he proved that right.

Me thinks me gonna print "I cant recall" on a t-shirt. surely saves your ass by wearing it when your GF bising where that lipstick smudge came from, where we went with our friends last night, when is your anniversary, where did you put your credit card, and very, very useful, when some chick end up in front of your door, claiming you fathered her kid.

also, a smart-assed clothing into the examination hall.considering our edu system likes us hafaling shit.

"I cant recall" . Dr.M; you're da man!

and wait. another one liner : "I must be drunk ". The Lingam saga just gets better.
dats anoher cool t-shirt line/ one liner killer.

cue : conversation with the traffic cop when stopped at 2 in the morning.
Cop : dari mana, nak ke mana...?
You : I cant recall.....
Cop: how come you cant recall...?
You : I must be drunk....(!)

ok.enough of that.

what next: the missing kid! what i cant fathom is that, cant they use a pic where the head is actually level...?
no other pic ka apart from the "tilted-to-the side" one...?
Like before, missing kids will always surface, given the way parents, and sorry to say this, but im sure all of you agree, Malay parents, the way they jaga their kids.

i dare you go to any pasar malam, kedai runcit and even cyber cafes. shit, they leave their kids running around unattanede like kittens!
i bet cats are more kiasu in keeping tabs on their kittens. Fuck.they can charge parents for mis-handling of heir kids in the US. Britney-gimme-gimme-more-i dont-wear-knickers-Spears kena charge for almost dropping her baby.

try the "let my kids loose in pasars and malls" stunt here. ape.ingat kat KLCC tu selamat ke biar anak lari lintang pukang while you go window shopping?

come on! and CCTV? you gotta be kidding me. i can just wear a full faced helmet, and then pick up any kid infront of the CCTV for all i care if im a bad guy.
"hot like chicken shit".dats all it is. some people never learn.

The new SAGA.aha. i must comment on this. It kinda short though.slightly longer than a kelisa me thinks.but at that value, and the package offered, 1.3 L , at sub 40k, its a steal.lantak le the bentuk, it beats a Kancil.ringgit per ringgit.

i just come to notice though, that the proton persona looks like a Mazda3.i dont know abt you, but i think it does.

anyways, just got started with Ebay. Specifically with collectible toys. Transformers Movie related one.

so if anyone interested, call up.will try to hook up a good priced purchase. =]
so far have several in me hands, luv em robots!
you got to see it, to luv it!

i cant get no (satisfaction)

2007-12-09T15:02:00.000+08:00

dont ask why the title. i have that song on playback in my head, alternately with "Believe" by the Bravery. (dats the song playing now).

Pretty much sums up the current situation for us early - mid 20s in Malaysia now.

right.

ok. the recently organized, and still hot HINDRAF rally. what do i think?
well , for a start, i agree that the Indians in general, compared to "other" major" races are still lagging. but wait.does it only apply to one minority here?

Yeah, i agree that on a rough scale look at the scenario, they are marginalized.
but being a person who tends to over analyze stuff, the picture changes.

firstly, the name of the movement itself.Hindu Rights Action Force.So does it mean non-Hindu Indians are given preferred treatment by the Gov?
and if the "satu-kapla-satu-juta" thing actually (which i bet my left slipper will never be) ,and somehow works out, so Christian-Indians, or even Muslim-Indians wont get a whiff of it?

errmm...discrimination? well, if you're saying among races, i setuju la sangat Ann-ne oi.Malaysia ni....sapa tak setuju? ..but aint its another case of Paris Hilton calling Lindsay Lohan stupid, dont you think? the name "HINDRAF" itself shows you discriminate sections of your own brothers because of their different beliefs.
if its calld INDRAF, id agree. but im sure you've given thorough look, and still stick to HINDRAF. so its a religious-centric thinggy here already.

ok. two, the cause itself. Going out to the Brits and demanding "compensation" for "leaving us behind when you gave independence" to this country, without securing our future economic and status crap first.

come on.bro. the scenario might be a little different, but would you blame your parents for "not giving enough care" if you fare less successful than your other siblings once you grow up, once you leave for your own life?

"IM SUING THE PANTS OFF MY PARENTS CUZ THEIR PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, AND NOT EQUIPPING ME PROPERLY WHEN I WAS LIVING UNDER THEM. NOW, COMPARED TO MY BROS AND SIS, I DRIVE ONLY A KANCIL, BUT THEY ALL DRIVE MERCS AND BEEMERS" .

you might as well blame God then.or even better, the grass for being green, and the sky for being blue.

What is the guarantee, that if the Brits somehow decide to pic another dude to be sent to Malays back then,instead of your forefathers, will you be having a better life in India, compared to KL? no point crying over spilt lassi la!

OK. the a stand was about the rampant demolition of Hindu temples by town councils, and pleas to stop it fell on deaf ears. relocating temples by sewerage plants IS UNACCEPTABLE. i feel your grief. id flip too, if they do the same to Churches.
and im sure Buddhist will feel the same.

complaints from the smallest of town councils up to the PM's office pun tak jadi, so like BERSIH's organizer's final plan, take it to the streets.show what's not shown on the Prime Time News, and go big. which comes to another point i talked with a friend :
1. it will never get a permit
2. it will be deemed illegal
3. it will SURELY turn out ugly. instigators mah!
4. and you'll fall back to square 1!

so, you marched on, got sprayed, eyes hurt with tear gas. and the memorandum to the Brit Embassy? Faxed! and worse, they claimed they never got any fax. err...so one Sunday gone down the drain right?

oh come on. last paragraph about this, cuz if i dont put a full stop, i can talk all day. the case, IMHO, will just be hot air, with no chance of succeeding. Next thing, some minority will start to demand the same, and trust me, other minorities can do worse. so what was started is actually, wrong, in a sense, waste of time in the first place. and it creates racial tension.

best way we can do, vote wisely, and kick out idiots from the Parliament house. These two idiots who cry foul about crossed being erected in mission schools. Bodoh nak mampus!

i have muslim friends who attend Methodist Schools, St.____ (any saint schools la), Convents, La Salles, and the like, and believe me, they are the ones who are better off muslims IMHO. tell me.all those mat rempits dari sekolah mana? St John's ka, or any sekolah pondok-ulu?

i remembered in school, last time, me with a group of friends started a chess club, and as a start, we collected money, and bought around 20 chess sets to get the club running. with our own initiative! in form 2!

and this so called"guru-penasihat" who loves to hog the limelight, pun masuk picture.

imagine the horror to have 20 kings in your chess sets have the cross of the King cut off. Why? does playing chess, with the cross present on top of the King ,makes a muslim, less-muslim?

why the phobia? some people bising about "Islamophobia" around the world. but what about non-islamophobia , rampant in Malaysia?
come on!
and these two idiots pulak, makes a fuss about Christians-centric schools corrupt
kids.dude, get your head check. and asses out!im surprised he didnt get reprimanded and charged for inciting tension among diff religions. oh wait. he dari parti dacing kan...?
bagus...undi la lagi. If you're a straight thinking person, and whose faith is not just about symbols and pics, you'll know who NOT TO VOTE!

right. dats all for now. next entry :
PINOY pics! The Year in Retrospect.

McD brings out the writing muse in me.....

2007-11-17T12:40:00.000+08:00

Right. I'm copying this entry,entirely , verbatim from a page which i wrote in McD while waiting for my fuckin passport sorted out. 2 hours. So...loadsa time : tembak session.

and yep. to reply to Rahmanok's question : aint im gonna cover the BERSIH rally? you betcha!

Oh yeah. recap.Got confirmed already! woo!OK. back to the main idea. I almost.well, was seriously contemplating of joining the rally that day, being i was on half day duty that day , and was free after lunch time. so there.

For the clueless,its a rally organized by NGOs(the gov would like to call it an opposition party smokescreen a.k.a masked attempt to cover their upcoming loss in the GE)who wanted to pass a memorandum to the King requesting for a clean erection.WHOOPS! ELECTION! *sick!*

anyway, the plan was to march from several points around the city, mainly the Masjid Jamek area, the National Mosque (can someone clarify with me on this?) and Dataran *choke* Merdeka to the Palace. fine by me.
But since to permit for a gathering was passed, naturally (since this being a NGO-cum-Oppo party move), its deemed an illegal gathering. (how come i can see that from a mile away?)
Being a curious wanker,my intentions to check out the gathering was shot down like a a duck being felled by a 50mm calibre.

"you dont try to be funny, and i wont bail you out if you get arrested". wise words from me dad. LOL.

OK. illegal gathering. hmmm. This racially based "red" party with songkoks who were having their annual gathering right around the time of this rally, and through their kakis, decided to lambast the gathering.

well sir,isnt this a typical scene of a Kolo Toure calling Emmanuel Adebayor black?

as i remember, it was not so long ago, where one of your prominent youth wing leaders marched to protest against then US Secretary, Condy Rice, to protest US' support of Israel in the stupid war in the middle-east.

merusuh dan memprotes bukan budaya kita?

oh another one. i remember another top-dud from also,led by one of your youth wing leaders, who marched , under the heavy rain (which in turn make you guys look even more ridiculous)to do the same, several years back?

DOUBLE STANDARD...? heyy...its Malaysia, after all. Like a friend used to say..."KALAU LEMBU BOLEH TERBANG!" ....well, we've proven it. that rendang in space was a beef one right?

OK. the one cent saga. If 14 million ringgit is needed to mint 3.6 mil worth of 1 cent coins, then bloody hell, the Gov is pretty much screwing up the fuckin economy right? taking a 1:1 ratio, so does it take say....140 mil ringgit to mint 36 mil worth of ten cents? and the ratio increases.....

anyway, it therefore concludes, my 2 cents worth of thought now, costs 7.777776 cents! wait! round it up! since they want to implement it, so now, instead of the earlier "my 2 cents worth of thought", it escalates to 7.77776 cents, and up again to 10cents! ...

hmmm.. so if say...RM82.23 is rounded to RM 82.25, so does the price of petrol, per litre , (RM 1.92) is to be rounded to the next round figure...? RM 1.90 per litre of petrol people...?

and, if your salary is say...2400.00, we up it to 2500....? pushing my luck here....haha.

ok. back to that BERSIH issue. this dude from the Information Ministry punya la marah at Al-Jazeera, cuz they said Al-Jazeera's reports are biased. wait...arent we the ones who lauded them being the most neutral report for the Muslim world, and even offered them a place to create a hub in Malaysia last time? ye la.

That time, anti-US, and some sickos who just like to screen beheading and execution vids of americans and "whites", and also "first-hand" khabar dari Bin-Laden was deemed a free media. come on. tell me, from a neutral point. How biased are the Al-Jazeera reports compared to CNN and NBC? NADA!

both are biased based on their political views, and Nationalistic ,and of course, racially and religion-based ideology! which touches both ends.

but do you think they have any "preference" to the Malaysian political scene? i dont think so! so i disagree in the biased reporting. hey, at least they highlighted something which happened like a couple hours back. No time to do blanket-ing on stuff.

But our local tv stations? TV3 didnt even highlight the rally till 8.30!
and NTV7? a roughly 3 minute highlight.
and this is the amount of airtime, on something considered big, in their own backyard. the news only got prime time headlights, when they show several political dudes, hantam-ing the rally as being "Un-Malaysian!"

fair and just reporting?riight.

Ok. Rankings in Unis, Malaysia drop again! whoahaha. why aint i surprised....
this year, none of our unis got to top 200 even. UM was in mid 200-300. and now this "scholars" mula la bising. but the dumbest, lamest, and least to say, saddest part in excuses is, this "pakar akademik" said that , the reason we are left behind was that,

because the foreign unis advance too fast! try telling your dad "I didnt get into top 10 in my class / i didnt manage to get into the first class next semester because other students are getting too clever, too fast for me to catch up".
heck, if i wanna try that stunt, i gotta wear full body armor, with american-football helmets in tow!
Unacceptable ! and instead of blaming themselves for being weak, they are blaming other people for being too good!

i saw this snippet, on the criteria for a uni to be considered a top-ranked institution, and one of it includes, filing at least 30 patents, a year, through their research programs. im in the IP biz, and i know a bit about local unis, filing for patents...and how do they fare here...?

to jaga their muka, id put it in another picture....
the frequency of Malaysian Unis filing for patents are akin to....
: Arsene Wenger fielding more than 5 English players,
: Jose Mourinho having a beer with Rafa Benitez,
: Ogu Ehiogu scoring a goal...

which translates to, almost none, or very, very few yearly.

well, i have my take on this.Malaysian professors are just gila glamour, instead of pushing their researches. They care more about their work being published. dot. it stops there.
and when they do decide to commercialize their stuff, then they start to flip when they found out, that their inventions and findings are now being in use by some other corporations, and they cant do zit, cuz, hey...Patents,in the simplest form; who files first, owns the invention. baring the contest brought up later on la.

and...lastly...

Facebook.
ive been poked, punched, thrown a lamb at, kicked, tickled, winked,bitten (zombie, vampire etc) , super poked (watever the fuck it means), licked (nah.kidding. thank god, NO!), teased (oooo interesting...), nudged, nudged again. but come on. I agree its a social network thinggy, but i guess its gotta be a limit to it right?

anyway, alls fair, in life, work, shit, and more shit.

Sorry about the AWOl thing. been pretty caught up with work and stuff.

drop a line people, and it will be answered!
raight.

cheers!

2007-10-27T15:51:00.000+08:00

alright.

just recalled a fact i read in the news the other day.

Professor Dumb-ledore(or izzit the correct spelling?) turns out to be Gay (!?)
From the horse's mouth herself, JK Rowling. So, the "Yoda", "Gandalf" or "Aslan" ; the all knowing figure in the fantasy book turns out to be a homo.Nah. not homo-sapien.Homosexual.beats me whatever he wants to be. just keep that magic wand in distance. thank you.

woohoo.considering Harry Potty series was initially targeted to the younger mass, who's only definition of gay is being happy and merry,
it makes me rethink...hmmm...whats this world coming to. Not that im a homophobic or anything. im not.but yeah. lets call me old fashioned in a sense.

a change is a good thing, but only until a certain level.

next, what? Yoda has panties fetish? or that Obi-Wan Kenobi is a cross dresser?
innocence no longer remain innocent...hmmm....

Social networking. Now, already in Facebook.will end up like the old social networking sites i registered to?
i dont know. Friendster is almost dead to me.blogging more like it nowdays.

Myspace.pretty leche for newcomers. Friendster.erm.getting stale.like cold coffee.High-5?isnt it the bread? Multiply? it is multiplying. yessir.

speaking of which, how can you ever have "99999" friends in that matter?
takde kerja lain ka? and come on. ridiculous la.darn superficial. yeah. sure loadsa friends. but to a certain limit, it looks pathetic. you know all 99999 of them?

its like keying in every telephone number you see into your sim card, cuz...you just can.hmmm...

anyways, im Kenn Leandre there (who else would i be?) cheh!

ok.

still havent get that tatto im going for, cuz this one thing is bugging me. certainty.kenn? uncertain...?

but yeah. please do forward any design suggestions.

riiiiiiggghhht!

fire...fire...fire again...and this has nothing to do with flames...

2007-10-07T11:28:00.000+08:00

immmm baaccckkkk!

yes.
Raya is around d corner.better start stuffing myself with lemangs.and rendangs.and kuih bahulu.and kuih loyang.and...err,,, right!
ok.seems that its been a good few weeks, with work and all.
life is good (apart from the over-budget spendings), but im alright.

sorry about the delayed updates.been "off" and collecting factual ammo in the process.

ok, before we proceed,

MAKE PEACE AND BE MERRY.....fact , or fiction? well, you tell me.

i just that i cant come to comprehend why certain people cant just forgive and forget (i cant, cuz i just can do the forgiving part, spare the forget).
am i contradicting myself here? well, i have a totally logical reason.
i have a good memory, or memorizing stuff, or remembering events, as long as it aint academic....RIIIIIIGGGGHHHT!
pardon me, i aint perfect..but wait...are you?

OK
being immature is one thing (about not forgetting), but if you could be a matured ass by over analyzing the old stuff and digging it up, and painting over the (your) ugly parts, and then giving another salvo at it, well, all i can say is... be happy, and may life treat you accordingly.honest.betul, tak tipu.

Right.
just came in the news and still in it, about that young girl who underwent the heart transplant. All the best for her, cuz i know how hard it is, for her family to go throught the ordeal. believe it or not, i saw her herself last time almost a year ago, in IJN while visiting my dad (who went for bypass surgery) and by God, she s one tough cookie.

hope everything will be ok, and kudos to the donors' family. good deeds never go unnoticed. if only more people are like them.....

PLEDGE TO DONATE YOUR ORGANS! no! not the music making ones!
seriously.

Dumb words / suggestions from the past week ;

banning Super bikes on the road? what the flying-fucking hell....(?)
i mean, yeah, bikes are dangerous,slow or fast,big or small; but how many times you see accidents involving huge bikes? ok , they wanna ride on them roads, charge them standard toll rates la.
why target huge bikes? rempits dying on the streets pakai any bikes more than a 125cc ka?
usually either these people who ride sucjh bikes are rich buggers, datuks who dont know where to put their money at, so they decided to look kinda (pretty tho) cool riding huge cc bikes, rich and successful professionals , and the like.
almost never, people living on a shoestring budget, risks their lives, and others by doing illegal races!

sometimes it really makes me ponder, whether those guys in the Gov do actually have this huge "fish-bowl-raffle-tickety-random-card-picker" thinggymajig. you know, that stuff where you pick up random cards, to make up random statements, quotes,or new enforcements to moot out.

Dah.go ride a bike.Korrengi.

I think they do have one of those thinggymajigs, and im planning to get my hands on one, to complete my "random abuse" of the day thing.LOL.

So,we have two "able-ready-to-go" space program participants a.k.a . BolehNauts.
one is the prime candidate, the other one as the "back-up-in-case-the-other-one-have-diarrhoea-before-lift-off".
all, in the cost of 102fucking million ringgits.

some minister, i think who obviously took a random card from the "fish-bowl-raffle-tickety-random-card-picker" thinggymajig said something which went like
"we have two able astronauts (wait..err..nevermind, ill get back to this word thing in a minute) to be sent to space, so we will decide later if we need to send even both to space...."

what the fuck he's blabbering about. a second BolehNaut, will surely need another back-up candidate, and if, and when they wanna send him, he'll need another back-up, and the chain goes on forever.THE LUNACY!
funny side though, when some parts bengang cuz out BolehNauts are not tagged as "Astronauts" (or Kosmonauts) in the flight participants file released by the Huskies.well, you cant get everything cant ya? plus, are you sure our BolehNauts really did receive Full-scale Kosmonaut training? come on.

The idea of having your car serviced usually goes about having her (its a she ok! ) checked up for you know, oil change, filter change, alignments....

but the normal talk will usually go...

You : "Kasi buat standard tukar la, oil filter, spark plug, oil change..."
mechnanic: " wokeh.settle.kalau ada any problem gua call you leh...?"
You : "ok.". then followed by exchange of phone numbers,cuz you went about doing your biz somewhere else for the next 1 hr or so

and the mechanic, will usually, NAY, normall , NAY! Surely call back to say...

"gear oil itu mau kasi tukar ka?" fucking hell.
You : "berapa?"
Mechanic : "45"...fuck!

[this conversation pretty much sums up why budget hits, and goes through the ceiling]

Tribute (macam dah KO la eh? haha)to a partner in crime (in the office, for well, a month and a half at least).

YOU GO GIRL! all the best! (in you know what, and keep doing what you do best)
p.s. you could have taken a better view from my room.cheh!

[ extra-curricular-lunch-hour-activity]

Ok people, try this.Google yourself. Google.not OOGLE. you perv!
try it.and see how many hits come out. oh yeah, to make it more specific, add the captions (whatchamacallit...double inverted commas? ) i dont know.
example, for my name would be like "Kenn Leandre" la. that double inverted commas thinggy before and after.
be amazed. so much for online privacy eh? luckily, no embarassing shit to pop out for me here.LOL.

I hate Mondays. and yes, being in a Yuppie.yikes.what a term to call meself, but yep, dats wat i am la.darn.but surely beats an undergrad tag.anytime, anyday.
Monday kills.three mugs of coffee helps though.ahaha.

I can relate to the strip...

But im sure as hell gonna get grilled if i put this up in my office..hehe..

does hit me sometimes, that if you pick anyone by the street, and decide to make a comic strip out of their lives, it will turn out just as interesting to any average Joe, Lee, Muthu, or !Xobile you bump into.

right.

friggin 23.23! do i feel like 23? i dont know!
i used to (when i was a wee kid la..err...arnd 10?)

that being 20+ is like a gazillion years to go. then, SLAP BANG! shit!

Unique gauge on how old you are, and how old you feel like..heheh.

im gonna list down several info, and if
Ask yourself,if you can relate to them, and if you cant, well, you young shits.heheh.

you unlucky buggers.

What was the cheapest you ever paid for a can of Coke? Coca Cola la.
the cheapest i paid for at my time la, was RM 1.00 per can.
no, coke purchased in Tesco dont count. the ones you get from kedai runcits.
i did a simple survey among my friends, and yeah, RM1.00 was the lowest i got. any lower ones? Coca Cola yah.Not some Tesco Cola or Giant Cola or the like.

remember dat keropok "Bon-Bon"...?
20 cents, and you get a free toy!

and that keropok perisa durian. the one with that damn flimsy packaging, which usually blows up when you try to open em up, causing you to rugi 5 to 7 durian flavored keropoks.

man...all this reminiscing makes me feel old.ahaha.

right.

thats all folks....

LATER!

all guns blazing......

2007-09-22T14:53:00.000+08:00

right.
politics.
worse.office politics.
been thru it, seen people leaving their jobs because of it.
gather factual ammo. things are gonna get messy. no that im complaining or anything...but im gathering.

CLPs are out. mighty glad with my friends' results (those who i knew took em)...
but i think its a whole crap of pushing all law grads to take the exam just in order to practice law in Malaysia.unfair yep.
anyways, in the end, quality stands out over the rest. so no worries there.

right. me as a Simpson character :

pretty cool eh?

speaking of which, pretty upset about the whole Simpsons movie. me likey. but not enuf likey.okee?
somehow i wish someday the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening will decide to make an episode based on the Malaysian government. i cant wait.

ever wondered whether some people have the tact in anything? i mean, about the recent discovery of the brutal murder of that kid, Nurin. some stupid media decided to visit parents of children in previous cases, to ask their opinion on it. come on man? where's the tact? why open up old scars?
the low point our journalism would go for a scoop.

i hate taking photos. so "From Office", bare with my evasiveness.ahaha.

23 already. do i feel like a 23 year old? i dunno.
received a message which read " act and think like a 23 year old...."....

err....that would be a challenge.

13th September is another milestone: 1 year complete as a working adult. WOohoo! and to commemorate this,....err.....still thinking. might get a tattoo...=)
design not confirmed yet, but do post me any interesting ones!

no blog entry will be complete without verbal jabs to various parties.....
so here it goes.

1. heck.im saddened about the death of the little girl. monstrous act what was done to her. but wait. hmmm....in the first place, she would not have been lost, gone missing if her parents didnt allow her to go out to the pasar malam by herself right?
come on people! HOW MANY TIMES , you see in the PASAR MALAM, SHOPPING COMPLEXES and even by the roadside, little kids go about without adult supervision? im not stereotyping,nor am i blaiming anyone specifically,.... but yes.... JAGA ANAK TU BETUL BETUL LA BODOH! ingat macam jaga anak kucing ke?

2. some idiots stopping me or refusing to sell food to me, cuz i look like a malay. come on. you sendiri tak suka people shoving religion , your own religion down your throat, so why wanna impose it to people of other religion? i mean how many times you guys see stupid raids being done to catch people tak puasa. save la yr energy kaki raid ooi. they dont wanna puasa, its between them and God kan? who are we to judge?

notice one thing, KFC will make sure you paid the food already , before asking..."you tak puasa ke...? "

anyways, this 1 month will rock, cuz good food are available every evening.

3. im glad that since its puasa month, the Dewan rakyat pun relax. time off. err...like what they normally do when its not even bulan puasa anyway.hur hur.

4. burning of the flag....rioters.so, this Bung "Dung" Mokhtar of Kina-binatangan again bring up the "unpatriotic" issue. heyy...aint you a shining example of one? elected into the dewan , but making a mockery of your seat. another Namawee? well, treat them the same way as you did to mr Namawee la. eh...why hush hush already? topic sudah sejuk ka? come on.....

5. our angkasawan...instead of making a huge fuss on how they re gonna puasa in space, why the hassle la? send them after raya la. wait...by doing that, you miss an opportunity to put the first dude to "RAYA IN SPACE!" whoaaaa! clever boy! i had a hunch that the other "better looking dude" will get it. face value mah....

lets see...other possible records (Malaysia Book la...cuz we all shiok sendiri one; and since Guiness is an alcoholoc sounding-name, and they dont wanna accept the longest Lemang entry into their books, we decided to make one instead.....) by our angkasawan , a.k.a. Bolehnauts :

1.1st fasting dude in space
2.1st raya in space...which will ultimately lead to : first ketupat weaved in space, lemang cooked in space, and mercun roket launched in an actual rocket in space.......

the list is endless.....

6. petrol harga naik lagi? aiiya. die woor.notice that our local news pretty much dont have anything to show on? its been three days in a row, a private station showing the cleaneup of a pig farm. aww...cute future to be "char-siews"...pink summore....takde cerita lain ka? Petronas bising bising mau kasi naik harga minyak, and next year, gloat about making billions of profit. and the Gov bising about subsidies...i cant blame em...price of stuff are really expensive....LIKE A 3 RINGGIT CURRYPUFF! fuckin retards!

7.im predicting the story on buses will pop again. raya dah dekat maa...funny i havnt hear any kids having their arms blown off tho. to me, its their parents' fault. yang bagi anak main mercun buat ape?

last week, i hantam a bulletin posted on Friendster blog.
about Jolly Shandy packaging which was deemed " dubious" and confusing that Muslims might pick it up, and consume it cuz it looks like a normal carbonated drink beverage. come on people! to the dude who started that post, you might think that you re being helpful, but instead, you make Muslims look gullible. if you are a gullible muslim, too bad la.do i give a fuck? but im sure the Majority of Muslims are not gullible. so either read up, or shut up.

pretty much like a previous comment when i hantam a post which buta buta hantam BEP for "menyeberkan ajaran Kristian dalam lagu mereke" without understanding a shit what he's actually saying.

tak mau kena hantam, so dont post dumb stuff.

Im allergic to crap, and im "Stupidity Intolerant"......

and boy, do i luv grilling idiots.

-not a punch pulled .......

random wisdom of a 23 yr old.

2007-09-08T17:20:00.000+08:00

yeah.
ok.

random wisdom.

read books. read business books. books which are written by children, and adults who never had an own business.and wonder why your roadside cendol business never did took off.

watch E! and wonder why anyone gives a damn on what Paris Hilton has contributed to global warming.

Beat the red light, but never overtake the traffic cop. Smile in photoshoots, but never ever show too many teeth.you'll never know when you'll end up running for the head of the State.write "undertook" in your resume and wonder why they never return your call.people never ever read past the second page of your resume anyway. Most seasoned recruitors assess you based on three things. your competency, fuckability, and your ability to hide you incompetence. take all three, or at least one. one way or another, your fuckability counts.i agree with Doug Coupland with that. forgot yr thesis title during the interview, and believe me, the interviewer also forgot your name.

Slack off in the office, and wonder why Jimmy in accounts got promoted instead of you. or at least he s got a private parking spot. flirt with your co-workers, but not the boss's mistress. fuckability. you social status pretty much depend on it. aw hell. i know. you re fucked. darn. go ahead. ask her out.or him. whatever suits your fancy. rejected? nevermind. her (or his , depends on your fancy) 's loss. an act of rejection is another way to show ; i let go 2 strikes, but i'll allow the third for homeruns. you got the time for seconds? Y/N? .wrong Password. please re-enter your password.

blast feng-tau from your subwoofer, and wonder why its darn hard to pick up chicks.
show the finger to that wanker who overtook you , and pray he dont end up beside you in the next stop light.stop light is another term for traffic light you retard. make jokes about retards only when you are infamous. dats career kill when you are "somebody".

vote. and pray your vote counts. or even it was ever properly taken account in the first place. it goes both in GE terms, and also American Idol.watch reality TV, and live with that reality, and lose your life to the idiot box. give way to your seat to the old lady in the train, and curse the Gods when yu end up standing behind the foreignn worker who smells like burnt wood. keep shillings.or coins. at least 2 50 cents. trust me, you'll appreciate this advise. fart in a crowded train, and enjoy the reaction and the look of other people try to act normal, and detect the source. learn Rempit jargon.
"superman" alone is not enough.

make racist jokes, and wonder why you never get invited to parties. invite yourself to parties, and wonder why no one comes to your party.

never underestimate other people's dreams. who says you cant live your dream? what if some dude's dream is to sell roadside lemang, and actually successfull in doing it, at least , managed to open one, and wondered why his business never ever got better than the roadside cendol stall across the street.never aim for the top, but several notches below it. overshooting is bad. how dashed would your dream be if you were planning to sell Mercs, and ended up selling roadside lemang? you're fucked la then.

be happy with your job, and be thankful you have one.employers sometime judge their subordinates based on their creativity, or creativity in faking their creativity.Men can never fake two things; an erection,and you can never fake creativity.
that means, you're fucked. apart from that, lets see, what i missed....
oh yeah. forgot another point. employers also judge you based on another criteria.fuckability, or fuckability threat.(where and how you stand in affecting his/her fuckability)

there is always the possibility of the company relieving you of your job, and outsource it to some dude from a country you consider of lower rank than yours.fuck, they may have started doing it already.wait, they did. and we re the lower rank country to some giant State.aha.be more thankful if you can agree that no dude from a lower ranked country can manage to do your job for less pay. if they could, then you re fucked. go sell roadside corn in India.

market yourself, but dont oversell. you'll end up like a prostitute. unless you are one.

play with the rules, as long as you re the one who created em.

believe in the law of karma.

eat your veggies, and drink lots of coffee.

right.

Tongue in cheek....without holding back...

2007-09-01T10:55:00.000+08:00

Hola.
right.merdeka.50 years after the Brits decided to give us this God forsaken land.15 days to a 44 year anniversary of the formation of Malaysia. Dei, Sarawak and Sabah along with Singapore agreed to "Merge" with Malaya to create a new country called Malaysia ok. Not join into the Malaya coalition. If they did the latter, it would still be called "Malaya". History part there.

right. i saw this movie, "The Invasion" yesterday. about aliens taking over our bodies (if infected) when we are asleep. the result ? well, the infected (or invaded) people show no or little emotion. the world is a perfect place. no war, all is perfect!

In CNN reports all around the movie, audiences were hinted that major world leaders are already infected, cuz ; The Shiites and Sunnis are signing a peace treaty, Palestinians and Israelis are doing the boogie together , a.k.a, made peace, Bush withdraw from Iraq, Iran relenquished their Nuclear program, South and North Korea also decided to play happily together..... makes me wonder, if in Malaysia, does the news show SIti Nurhaliza and Sharifah Aini cuddling together and announced that they are best mates?

in a nutshell, the aliens made us into perfect beings.in the US, people are obeying the rules, no emotions but no public menance.....
made me think. how to spot that they have taken over our country leaders? or moreover, the normal people like us?In Malaysia.

i made a short list ...ok.kinda lenghty:

taxis are using meters, everyone queues boarding public transport, our politicians in the house of parliment actually talk constructive ideas on how to eradicate social illness, instead of talking trash, bull, and of leaking pipes...(ehem) ,all Christians go to Church every Sunday (including me), Mat rempits wear reflective clothes, fasten their helmets, and actually stop at traffic lights, and police actually live up to the tag "saya anti rasuah".

come to think of it, the list can go on, and on,and on...cuz we dont live in a perfect world, lagi lagi la a perfect country....Malaysia mah. but that makes us human.

hehe. if im still studying, id know of the first hint that my housemates are already infected ....
(i was the only non-muslim there at one time) .....

all of you guys (to all my ex-housemates) pray 5 times a day, and go for Friday prayers, watch less porn (ehem!), one dude actually wake up on time for class, and the house actually looks more like a house instead of a rumah kongsi.

yeaha.you can detect me being infected easily though. im not saying any , cuz i wanna let you guys pass it on via comment . you know me, and you sure as hell be able to detect when i "chang".ahaha.

ok.last night i saw this Merdeka day celebration in the Merdeka Stadium by telly.
By golly. I never seen so many people waving flags aimlessly in unison.
Thats a feat.Fill in the record books!

Well, yeah, the Guv decided to tear down the stadium , which in turn uses more money, decreases the stadium's capacity to re enact the infrastructure of 50 years ago, get flag wavers to show our country's unity. but wait.

how come the ones waving are of one race only? im not being racist or anything la. but from what i could gather, from my observation, i saw...er...2...? 3? chinese , and an Indian dude with peacock feathers shakin his booty. apart from that...errr...unity and social balance ...WHat?

speaking of which, i read on some website that day, some quarters bengang with Pak Lah for choosing a non-malay candidate for his second wife....heheh. some mak ciks bengang ka kena potong line ? heheh. "Takde perempuan melayu lain ke....?" they lauded. dei, forgot ka? Pak Lah's late wife , the belated Datin Seri Endon was also of a Jap parentage. so why the fuss? 50 years, and you still kecoh of what race of the new lady the PM wants to marry?

go to any cafeteria, how many tables you see diff races eating together? nuff said.

ok.Makkal Osai kena ban becuz posting this. If a Catholic does it? what happens?

see the logic behind my cause?the fuss was all about of distracting from other pressing issues. am i offended? i laughed my arse off seeing the pic. JC sure knows how to party.LOL.

"To Live Life to The Fullest, You Must Be able to laugh at yourself" .
well, if the Da Vince Code was ok, what does the pic got to do any bearing of offending every Christian?

and this Evan Almighty movie. come on, this is the 21st Century. banning it? how backward you can be? Why cant you see the hidden messages? In Bruce Almighty, some quarters played the "re-enacting God" as being offensivem, and mempermain-mainkan agama. But do they see the intrinsic value of the movie?
That MAN CANNOT HANDLE GOD's WORK! heck, if they decided to put Ozzie Osbourne to play God (instead of Morgan Freeman), the message would still be the same (albeit more vulgar)

"Bruce,you fuckin wanker, that's not the way to do it you fucktard...! "...

silver lining at the end of the cloud, was by seeing how the Malaysian under 21 (or was it 23?) play in the Merdeka Tournament. Respect. but i hope i get this wrong here....cuz, everytime, we have our hopes high on our athletes, they crumble like ash.

Chow Wei did, and so did the Malaysian National Footie Team, even Nicol David did once. still, it should not be a cause for us to stop supporting the team.

Lastly,

My Merdeka Wishlist for the next 365 days...

1. That we are refered as Malaysians, not by race, religion, or titles. regardless of our race, religion, and title.

2. That our country get rid of idiots running around in the Parliment. Let me say it here specifically. Bung "Dung" Mokhtar of Kinabatangan. You Batang Binatang. kasi Malu orang Sabah! Bah! and other racist MPs. I know who to vote in the upcomimg election....im sure the readers know too...

3. That when we pay premium, we get premium stuff. Petrol for 1.92, when we export petroleum?we actually get imported low quality petrol. ....and cars...you cant expect us to support your model, when you charge high prices,compard to what its worth, and in the same time, short change us for the specs. Come On, We all know Proton Persona sold in the UK(a.k.a.Wira) was equipped with Airbags.imn Malaysia, you only provide the Hi-End specs with a Power window....? who you kidding? the reason we buying Protong and Peroduas were becuz, Malaysians are underpaid, and Hondas are waaay to expensive (thanks to YOU KNOW WHO lah!)

4. That freedom of speech is upheld.

5. That we are thoroughly explained what the bleamin hell is "Hadhari". I know its "Civilization Islam".But where can we get proper explaination? or its still in draft, since Pak Lah seems to bring up a new chapter of the guide book in every of his speeches....hrmmm...

6. and that Sabah, and Sarawak be respected, cuz we did not Join Malaya. We are "share partners". we gabung to create Malaysia. Malaysia's birthday is on the 16th September.

right. Im off.till next week.
to the readers, thanks for the support. keep em coming!

work in progress...

2007-08-25T15:01:00.000+08:00

Right.
im back.into my first month splitting the atom; a.k.a. finding my footing in a new company.yahaa.
verdict : split(ed) the atom pretty good.yup yup.

ok.the recent uproar over "Negaraku-ku" ver 2.0! have you heard it? well i have. this dude really wants it huh? haha.
i heard a part in it which says "Cina Babi!" - which pretty much sums up what Malays are labelling him in loadsa forums which talks about his now infamous song....

and he replied with something like " tapi bak kut teh sangat sedap la..."...haha.

another line went something like "nak jadi Mat rempit, tapi tak da Motosikal...."
-low blow...!-

but come to think of it, the only side who got really jumpy are :
1. the politicians
2. yang makan the cili la. the ones yang terasa pedas.

this dude clearly got wit.albeit in the wrong way. You can admire, and be in awe of the skills of a Bank heist, because of their skill, but nonetheless, it is wrong.

So here,same case, unfortunately he puts it in the wrong side. creating and stirring hatred. dude, in Malaysia, you only got one strike, cuz you aint bumi.
funnily though, these people who end up pissed at him, only have several "styles of replies" ....

- kalau aku jumpa mamat nih....aku beduk beduk cukup cukup...
- cina tak sedar diri...tak tau ape kita dah buat untuk diorang
and, my favorite : tunggu dia balik Malaysia...!

dudes! come on, cant you be more "civilized" in replies? im not taking sides, to mr namawee, or the "offended" party, but by adding petrol into the fire? haha.stupid backlash will only fan more anger la dei.
if this chinese dude is talking trash, then why get offended?

my verdict: this kid is a pussy.coward. he raps offensively, and when the guv bising, he mintak maaf.then he do a reply about it la.come on la Namawee, you got balls only to fire first salvo ka? dont do a "sequel" song, or never apologize in the first place!
you guys get my drift? ultimately, his antics shamed the chinese community more than it does to him.

and MCA?hmmm.riiiiggghhhht.

ok, the "Jesus Christ" pictured ssssmmoookin and drinkin saga.darn.im pissed.not because of the alleged defamation.defamation? come on. The Da Vinci code pun tadak hal? then that Bishop mau bising 2 what for? come on la Datuk. dont create a forest fire out of a cigarette butt.

im pissed cause i didnt get to see it.thats why. i didnt see the pic. even if i did,
i think its hilarious.creative to say the least.

heyy, Jesus Christ have been portrayed in worse circumstances la....no problem also.look at the funny side la.

and how do they really confirm that it is Jesus Christ anyway? i mean, majority of the people that time have a beard and long hair what?some quarters even suggested that could even be Judas.so why kecoh kecoh? now that manggal Ossai paper kena tahan. several workers sure tadak kerja. Deepavali sudah dekat. kan susah?

please la people,mature la sikit.cant you take a hit? Honestly from a Catholic's mouth, (dats me lar!) , if yr faith is strong, you ll feel nothing offensive, instead, felt funny of the Parody.

for all i know, it could even actually be Gabriel Batistuta who was picture smoking with a beer bottle to boot.he looks like Jesus Christ aint he? or even some D-Grade porn actor.or even Sawyer from Lost....!

OK. i noticed this for so long, but it only resurfaced when i read Kenny Sia's blog. about that lewd looking logo of a Bank. ok.take a look at the logo ya, (not the wording, but the far right logo.what do you see....?

nothing...?

ok. let me give you a hint. DICK.the logo looks like a Penis! fuckin hell!
okee.go ahead. have your laugh. im not "lucah-minded" keh. its just...
surely a short dick aint it? LOL

that logo so obvious laaaaaaaa!

Old Joke, which never fades :
Q: why cant the Indian Football team win the world Cup?
A : cuz everytime they get a corner (kick) , they set up a mamak shop.

speaking of which, my senior (who happens to be an Indian) gave me a tip :

how, to differenciate between Indian Indian , and a Malaysian Indian.....? Indian Indian meaning Indian dude from India la....
easy. checkered shirts. checkered shirts. if they wear boxy or checkered motive shirts, they are from India. supprisingly, he's correct! fuckin hell!

ok. Protong Persona (the g was intended) cuz, Persona looks like a kereta potong!
dont ask me why, it just look like the potong-ed car.

guess ive been lagging with the updates. sorry la dei. only get to do it during the weekends.work in a legal firm kinda hectic.(What the fuck are Science Grads doing in a patent firm you say....?well, Science grads are the life of the lot. riiiiight.......)

I have a standard blessing poster posted on my stick wall in my office room. helps me get through the day "properly".....

certainly helps.

til next time,

No Punches Pulled

lactose intollerant speaking.....

2007-08-18T18:37:00.000+08:00

yeaaaa.
moral no 1 :never ever wear longpants for futsal.nuff said. i ended playing like a paraplegic duck.riight.

right.taking the train frequently pretty much gives me a dosh of the reality TV.Malaysians should learn to play American Football. they know how to get through tight spaces. Successful Malaysian Running backs all around me! including that makcik with the huge umbrella. ella-ella-ehh..ehhh....payung aku...!
(and she ended up dashing through the crowd (against the flow -talk about standing out!, cuz she forgotten hers at the Mid Valley station) naturally, she missed the train. amusing situation nonetheless.

how long does it take for you to warm up to your new environment? i mean;example, when you just entered a new company ; how long do you take to strike up a conversation,with a "Senior" colleague, without the other end having the impression(s) :
1. geez. the nerve. the new guy chatting up to me.hormat senior la bodo. We do the chat up.not you.
2. geez. he must be interested in me.ooohhh...danger.!
3. he must have something hidden. quick. hide the weed....!

anyway,i decided to do the chat-upper role. tadaaah! fuck the conspiracies. who cares? (miss juggler would understand. Bleeh!)

latest take on current shit.

Sugar gliders are Lactose Intollerant. (!!!!) apparently someone fed her sugar glider with kitty biscuits, which coincidentally la contain milk products. small grave to dig that one. ill have loadsa shit to dig up if dogs somehow end up being lactose intollerant.....(got 2 of them idiots)ahaha.

saw the "Powers that Be" in the country today on TV3 berita. commamorating Tunku Abdul Rahman's lap around Melaka la...50 years ago to declare the British Admin's decision to grant Independence to Malaya.

Now get this: they apparently went to great lenghts to reenact the occasion, the decided to get the exact car; same model that Tunku rode on; 50 years ago. a convertible.some american model car la.fine by me. i thought they ve kept it in the museum, and its still in OK condition la. but no. that car was imported. hmmm...

+/- vintage status, imported from US, shipping costs.....taxpayers money...jst to reenact 50 years ago? you coount the cost yrself...not very bright i think...hmmm.....

The new proton Persona. How to judge the people in Proton arent very creative? first:

Persona is Proton Wira's selling name in Britain. so , on the other side of the coin, i own a "Persona" mnths befre it was launched.

two: at first glance, its like a hybrid of a Gen2 head, with a Waja butt.
now, i think its just a Sedan Gen2.Gen2 which has gone a Butt enlargement process.nuff said.

Negaraku "offender" mister Namawee.

well, i saw the vid(as said in my previous posting), but have the duds who called for the poor chap's head served on a plate ever saw the actual video itself? and do they ever take notice what are the intrinsic values that hes trying to convey?
think about it.

we have loadsa shit on our plate right now, and what they do? focus on sideshows. stock exchange took a friggin plunge last week, no news about that.
instead, having the singer to apologize was the main issue. come on people. priority.!

Malaysian politicians are a forgetfull lot.now they remember, tmrw they forget.

i tell you la. im sure there are waaay more stuff on the internet whre Malaysians "speak". Raja petra (malaysia Today) and Namawee (Negaraku-cookoo singer) are just two of the lot. and their luck suggests; some people decided to pick on them. why? you figure it out yrself. freedom of speech? yea right. more like freedom of speech, as long as its pro-Gov.

pardon the typo. keyboard sux.

anyways, till next time. yeah. writing muse kinda laggy today.block.as result from a 10 hr sleeping marathon.

yeah yeah.

The Y junction up the road.

2007-08-12T11:37:00.000+08:00

right.

seems ages since ive updated my blog.well,properly online at least.
Well, been busy, started a new job in a legal firm.
Intellectual Property / Patents to be exact.Contrary to the normal assumptions that being a patent exec requires a law degree, no.Patent people are technical people.hence, most are Science grads. *bleehhhH!

anyway, been cool adjusting to the new office : i get an own personal room! Woohooo! go figure! 19 floor! go figure! it gets better! i get a window seat!go figure!

so pardon the offline-ness for the previous few, and upcoming weeks.been busy, gona be busier in weeks to come. but will try to work out a weekly update.

ok...normal takes on current stuff: Negaraku-ku.dat "offensive" song some quarters cant get enuff of ; saw d vid, even i dont understand a shit wat d dude was saying, i can relate to his grouses. we luv Malaysia.cuz if we dont, we wont give a darn on donating our meagre 2 cents...right? so why la the fuss? how many upright dudes got on youTube? say, how abt the Rempits vids posted? why no actions taken?

hilarious.if you ask my opinion on it.blowing on small peat fires, when other more important stuff are at hand.go blow something else.*tsk

ok. Gwen Stefani-the harajuku queen is coming over.darn expensive tix, you could cover my weekly petrol with the cheapest tix! anyways, some people get all excited under their sarong when they hear Hollaback girl coming over. Suggestive lyrics. clothes.dances.Gee, these people gets aroused easily dont they?

explains a lot why stories of grandads "eating" their own grandchildren. ...parents also "eating" their own children pops up like ...bubbles...all year round. Have nothing else to do ka other than protest, and create anti-west slogans?

and whats with this "The western" world, the "Christian world" or "the Muslim world" segregating-stunt? come on! I thought our Gods preached equality. so why segregate?

the west aint 100% non-muslims, and muslims aint 100% al-qaeda. Martyrdom is one thing. but mis-led people is a diff chapter altogether.

and yeah, i just noticed. remember last time, when people bising that suicide bombers are portrayed as "Pejuang berani mati" which pretty much sounds like a compliment? now theyve got a new name fr them in TV3 news. "Penyerang Nekad" .bo-doh!

so in the event of the country turning 50, i believe that this should be a landmark for us to see, where the country is headed , 50 years from now.we re at a T junction.
And as for me, August 2007 was the time i "refreshed" my career. A bit deviating from my major in uni ; Marine, but now more inclined towards my aim : biotech + legal system.

Road less taken? you decide.

As i said previously, yr decisions while you are between 22 till 28 pretty much maps the rest of your life. you re never too late to alter it, but yeah, like i like it, eat the bubur while its hot (cuz usually, when you're 22, the nasi will some how turned into bubur)

continue studies; stop studying ;do Masters ; work ; have children ; go for that girl youve had your eyes on ; ask her out ; drink; binge; go crazy ; stick with your 'couple' since uni; break up ;speak up or shut up; to blog, or not to blog; Perodua Viva or Proton Savvy ; to vote or not to vote; Sony E or Nokia ; Kit Kat or M&Ms ; to be or not to be;Gwen Stefani or Mas Idayu; Autobot or Decepticon ; Liverpool or Man U; the choice is yours.

i have 5 years till my self imposed 'fluffy dateline'.choices are abound ; why bog down to one selection so early?

p.s the new stocks for the Transformers Deluxe toys were and are out. Out on shelves last Wednesday, and gone 2 hours later. I managed to get a Barricade one. The police car. nice. just kinda pissed watching bulk buyers hoarding 5 to 6 "high demand" models at once. well, tough luck for small timers. *ehemmm...*

you can still get them. but of the less attractive model la...the tank, the motorcycle, the dumptruck, the station wagon.....
no camaro, no Ford Saleen, no Optimus, no Jet,no helis......

literary check list :

current read : NEXT -Michael Crichton ; KLUE August 2007 ; Patent Act 1983 (that is so sad!) ; Y:the last man no.5 (reread), Kingdom Come TP (reread)

current tv show : Top Gear ; 24.(ok ok. got hooked on Prison Break.Bagwell is a very, very interesting character to analyze....!)

p.s: Y:the Last Man, a comic series about the last surviving man after a disease struck killing all the male organisms on Earth is about to hit the big screen. Set to play Yorick (the lead character) is transformer boy who got to snog Megan Fox ; Shia le Beouf. (could be a distant relative to former Chelsea Centre back , Frank Lebeouf - Chelsea lalangs wont remember him though)

Well,whenever i tell my friends i'm following the "Y" series, they think its "last man gets all the girls!" .and thats the reason i'm reading it.

well, google it, and read the synopsis.and feel entirely stupid for bringing up your early assumptions.ahaha!

last salvo :

* congrats on the Convo! you know who you are. -marco-
* mucho caliente
* offshore...offshore....buy truckloads of Kleenex! ahaha!
* can get good price on esprit stuff ka?
* New season is up : we can win the title!
* I've got Bumble bee vs Barricade on my desk....helluva distraction .....
* along with "nextdoor" .tsk!
* good luck with the CLP results!

I'll Be Pumping Ovaltine . refer to previous post for the full gist.LOL.

2007-07-31T02:27:00.000+08:00

Right. i remembered of a stupid query i did on shades of colors a while back, regarding the color blue. i did a google search, and tadaaah! color chart, and how "powder blue" actually looks like. cheh.

*click on d pic to enlarge it.

right.so much on simplifying stuff. so guys, next time yr gf wants an opinion whether the sapphire or ultramarine looks better, fret not.or...fret more.ahaha.

i never knew "periwinkle" even existed.

so imagine if people actually give a darn abt the diff color shades, and use it in everyday usage.

in case it doesn't work, just copy/past it into yr browser yeah.and follow the instructions.plus, got extra sound! (memang kaki wil remember wat d sound is....Robots in disguise!)

still, im upset they didnt include Six shot into the movie. =[

anyways, how do you spell the sound effect ? cuz if explosions, they are "Boom" or "bang!" for gunshots. what about the Transformers transformation sound ?

my suggestion is "Who-Kho-Kho-Kha-Khek...!" ...then again , this has got to be the most boring, but then again,my more insightful entries.yeah right.haha...

The power of ideas, opinions, and truth.

in lieu of the current "clamp on the bloggers" proposed move by the Malaysian Government,well, i have something to share. can this be classified as sedition?i dont think so. the national censorship approved the movie for viewing last year.so no problem here i guess...=)

right.

blogging;freedom of speech;power of ideas;power of words.think about it.
to all who have never watched V for Vendetta, get the DVD now. Worth the watch.my fav movie of 2006.

crank up your volume, and listen to V, and what he's got to say.
if this fails to make you think , i dont know what will.

Ever witnessed, or experienced the moment where, ure in the bus, or a train; standing
in a packed area.then a stop.someone who was sitting got up, and went out, leaving an empty seat.And for the next 10 minutes, even when everyone looks too tired to stand, no one fills up the empty spot!
the guy sitting next to the empty seat starts to feel uneasy.did he smell?does he look haggard?No.he's well dressed.Ok.lets name him Mr.X. why wont anyone sit in the empty spot?
did the earlier person sitting there soiled him/herself? and leaked in the process? No.

i bet all of us have been in the situation in being one of the standing crowd who somehow i cant decipher why wont anyone fill the seat? Guys will say "oh.give way to girls". Girls pulak? why do most of you usually avoid taking the empty seat?
funnier thing tho, i bet all of us have at least once been in Mr.X's shoes. Why d fuck is the chair beside me empty, while everyone in standing? that single miserable chair.hmmm...

even weirder, when there is a packed train or bus, but you have a seat.nicely.but you decided to give away your seat la, to anyone, cuz you feel they need it more than you do. I always give my seat to the elderly, or ones that look weak, and need it more than i do,lagi lagi la if its a pregnant lady.no problem here, as they usually take it up and thank you for it.
but sometimes you feel like standing (any right headed guy wont feel good sitting in a packed train, while say...6 other girls, regardless age, looks and size standing within 2 feet), and give away your seat to anyone la. The thing is, why the paranoia?

i've done it, and witnessed several other dudes in numerous occasions, gave away their seat to girls, who are strangers as a move in good gesture.no strings attached.what we got back? a stare (as if im making a move on her).not even a polite decline.a stare again!
chivalry?nah.its just being polite to the ladies.does it need a motive? hmmm..most girls think so im a afraid.so siapa cakap Malaysian guys dont have class? err..we do actually (guys, come on..support dei) !

On another note, kids today are getting lembik-er. Clogged ladies toilets? I dont have to visit a convent to know that problem even existed. Remembered once in school, between form 3 to form 5. Pengetua will ask the girls to stay back after assembly, and the guys to masuk kelas dulu. Naturally, being the curious arse we are, we move away from the dataran, but still peeked, eavesdrop and view from our class blocks to listen what's the fuss all about.
this is interesting.usually we guys will create enough trouble to make them stay back after assembly.hhmmm...but the girls...?

there it is. all toilets in school(ladies) are clogged up.the school needs to relocate funds to do the repairs.i understand why the teachers are furious.and most of all, embarrassed! so when the "pool dipping" case popped.i thought;what's the fuss? come on. overly treated brats will create a fuss.and dumbass whistleblowers....?hrrmm... tough love is so overly misinterpreted nowadays.

1997 to 2001.now those were the years where i learned that, the best years in your life are the times where you attend morning assemblies, trying to outmaneuver the discipline teacher, taking routes to avoid the headmistress, clocking the timing so you can avoid carrying an English teacher's bag(cuz its darn too heavy!...and setting up another poor soul to do it ; sorry dei Sujit.haha.it was Vimal's idea), getting yelled at for playing The Rock's entrance theme at 7a.m, kena denda datang lewat, kena denda tak buat kerja rumah, kena denda because your class was untidy (just because we missed on the "Kelas terbersih" for the week)....
well not taking the pool dipping incident specifically, but in whole, kids nowadays are being overly pampered.u know what i mean.
taken from Greenday's "Good Riddance" -' it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, i hope you had the time of your life....! ' i did.

lastly ;

i want to start keeping Sugar gliders.whats a sugar glider? this is a sugar glider.

its a marsupial, and the pic is a juvie (juvenile) sugie.
after surveying the price, and guess what? friggin hell. RM 300.00++. Darn!
who wants em...?who wants em...?i know you do...!

i know i've unsettled several people.yeahahaha...=P

Stuck in Second Gear ; an intro

2007-07-27T07:01:00.000+08:00

Finally. I got time to set up my "dedicated" blogging page. Not that i dont blog, but well...guess i needed a new set up to get my muse flowing out nicely.
After 101 postings (no kidding!) in my previous set up ; http://lordleandre.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/ , a change of wind would be good yeah?
anyways, the style will stay the same.ahaha.(didnt go for a reformat in anyway).

Head title says it all ; Stuck in Second Gear. And being a 22 yr old in KL, life seems to be that way dont you think ?
Especially if you've just started working. Just landed your first (or maybe second) job ; earning a meager 'young-upstart executive "peanuts" salary' , earning your own dosh which you dont really able to splosh; realizing that you dont really want to have your university /college life end so quickly ....must i elaborate on the horror more...?

Anyway, a safety reminder to everyone ; avoid leaving bags in plain sight in your car when parked. Keep em in your boot or anything; but dont leave it out in the open.
A friend just had her car broken into, and got a bag full of stuff taken away. It gets better.Along with her car, 6 other cars , parked within a stretch of 50 metres got their windows broken, and stuff taken. Modus operandi ; cars which had bags shown in plain sight. Cuz based on her car situation, nothing else was touched.Even the Hi-5 bread in it.
My car was parked a few metres in front,but not touched. I didnt have anything in plain sight that looks worthy to be stolen (except my Shell Ferrari F430 car on the dash board lar...) which explains why.

anyone with a complete set of the Ferraris?all 6 of em? i have three, all which are being tortured daily by a transforming Camaro 74.yeaheheh.

Another safety precaution ; girls, please.please remove your teddy bears you keep as 'perhiasan' in your car. Shows clearly that the owner is a lady driver. Easy picking if attackers want to choose a victim , especially in parking lots. Remember a certain unfortunate Miss Ong....

right. back to the Second Gear thinggy. Working into my 10th month now, and yeah, i got to say it, its been a bomb. terrific boss, cool company, but sometimes, the inevitable happens, you got to move on.
Major decisions to be made really. i believe that decisions you make when you are between 22 to 27 will play a huge role in charting out how your life end up to be. career;financially; what car you drive when you are 30; will i own a Porsche by 30? ;
and when you are undecided about stuff, that's when you're stuck in second gear.you're off the first, since you already have choices to choose from. But you cant shift up, or accelerate, cuz u cant decide.

Where have all the Rempits gone? have i been going out lesser at nights, or have they all gone stealth?or have they repented?
anyone have any idea? i know several "selected -elite" rempit souls terjun-ed the North pole. But where d fuck are most of them nowadays huh?
went simply to see them race and do their stunts (sadly, didnt witness any accidents), and bloody hell.only a few turned up.bugger. puzzling.
well, im not anti-rempits; i just loathe brainless, reckless,bastards who go around on bikes thats all.....

The best solution for these buggers? Lets make good use of them.....
Lets hire them as "Real Life" Crash Test Dummies.
Scrap the old Tembikai Pecah advert. It doesnt work. Use real bastards instead. Not only you get real time and real life effect on the impact, (red mush : no diff here, rempits' brains are like watermelon insides anyway; watery , and mostly light ) you get to enjoy the line before each test is carried which goes (in line with a now-famous caption from the movie REMP-IT) ;
"aku takkan mati selagi enjin motor aku tak mati "
beats watching the iklan sos cili.

The value of the advert (as in Mastercard Advert style)

Selipar Jepun - RM 5.00
T-Shirt Bundle - RM 9.50 (after bargaining in Uptown)
Jeans "Le Copper" (not "Lee Cooper")- RM 10.00 from pasar malam
Helmet - stole from KLCC park
watching a Rempit crashing into a brick wall; priceless
