Chapter 215 - G'day Mate

i was at the KLIA last friday to send-off my brother whom got a job in Sydney, Australia. he'll be there for 3-5 months. not a long stint, but after the sydney work, he'll be transported to another site. i heard UK. that is what u get when u work for an international company. they'll send you wherever the works at.. overseas. the money is good, plus u can broaden your horizon of perspectives. but of course you have to separate from your beloved family, unless you want to angkut the whole family together.. crazy. but separation will make us human stronger.

the funny thing was, the send-off is nothing less than menghantar rombongan pegi haji. it's normal for parent and siblings to be around. but when uncles, aunts, in-laws, cousins were there, it just dont feel quite right. of course i appreciate the gesture and effort of coming over and send-off my brother. nothing wrong there, but it humored me.

Last Saturday, i played a friendly match for Cocoro. my hunch told me that i was gonna play, so i brought my shoes along, for what i thought i'll be spectating the game. reason: tak pernah turun training for the past few months. and also i played only once 2 weeks ago. so, my match fitness is zero. hahaha. oh yeah, the most obvious reason because, i wasn't told about the match. nobody mentioned it to me. not until that morning, when my friend called. So.. we lost the match. but the margin is not that great, everyone's content. i did collect an offensive rebound amidst their tall defenders. cewah.

Umat Islam dilarang menyambut Valentine's Day. Dah kluar fatwa beberapa tahun yang lepas. what is so special about VD? apa hari2 lain xboleh berkasih-kasihan? hari2 lain xboleh buat anak? haih... VD is overrated. Saturday's night, my friends and I went over to a friend's place and played Wii. Cool (not loser!).


Honestly, Wii is a family game. It is best to play with your family or friends. i'm amaze with the playing modus. everything is done by the waive of the controller (great accelerometer). this is the only console yang boleh kurus kalau main lama2. i remember having a boxing match with my friend, and i sweat like a crazy. bayangkan kalau main 10 boxing matches. berapa kalori terbakar tu? anyway, i played Guitar Hero; and i kick-ass (easy mode only)! better to play with guitar than controller. ROCK ON!!

Chapter 214 - Ride

Behold. The kick ass ride of the year. Called Saganova by a friend, this fine mobile powered with 1.3 Campro IAFM engine, single ABS ready, 40 liter of fuel capacity, automatic transmission, 4 seaters, 6.5 liter for 100 km.. (inhale..).. will together embark a new journey with me.

i have my dream car (like everyone), but i care less about the carburetor, engine, injection, horsepower, sport rims, any other details.. bla bla bla. so, after careful consideration which mostly swayed by my budget constraint, i decided to buy this Saga. murah weh.. 40k. but hopefully, there are some good quality in this car. so far so good la. you know la, the expectation towards national car is not that great kan.... nonetheless, i'm crossing my finger, otherwise people from Proton gonna see my finger.

To be honest, i'm not that fond with cars.. generally. the fact that i'm a man and not dig into cars, doesnt make me a less of a man. even so, i still stand with my opinion which is; women aren't suppose to drive. like a laptop, some come with bluetooth, card reader, DVD-RW, etc... and some dont. in this case, women... they are not born with driving sense. Have you often drive and the car in front did something that annoys you, and when you overtake, you saw a woman driving the car, and you said, "Pompuan, patut la!" ? happened a lot, rite? See.. i cannot explain how God's works, but the truth is there. its harsh to say they shouldn't drive at all, because it will force the guys to drive them. so, we should have this little small exclusive lane just for the ladies. they all can cram in that single lane and become annoyance among themselves. men who drives like girl can cut their balls off.

Chapter 213 - Majestic

Pre-watch
I'm not a theater lover, but i feel like i don't want to miss this one. Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical coming into season 3 this February. This would be Tiara last appearance as Gusti Putri Raden Adjeng Retno Dumilah. Hamik kau.. garu kepala pendaftar surat beranak nak tulis panjang2 ni. Actually, the thing that drove me to watch this play was my previous experience watching malay theater; which turned out to be awesome (P.Ramlee The Musical). so, friends and I are going to watch it today. Tickets are ranging from RM35 to RM353. Bayar lebih sikit boleh duduk atas pentas. hahaha.. don't bother trying your luck booking through the Internet (www.axcess.com.my), they're already sold-out. but i bet the walk-in tickets are still available. better hurry, the tickets are selling fast. don't forget to bring along your student card (kalau masih belajar) to get your student rate; 30% off. Venue, Panggung Sari Istana Budaya.

Post-Watch
Worth what I'm paying for. RM88; or to be exact the RM133 ticket (after student rate). but I would bitch a lot if I'm 10 cm shorter with the same ticket, because our seat were on the 2nd tier and we sat exactly in the front row. picture perfect? not exactly... the seat and the ledge height is not well-proportioned. so, those yang pendek2 mesti tak puas hati. nak kena bawak bantal alas punggung baru boleh layan teater dengan puas.

Well, it is truly unfair to compare PGL with P.Ramlee the Musical. different timeline meaning differences in backdrops, language and feels; and as for me, i'm more fond to the familiar backdrops. I really do think Tiara did a good job portraying her character, while Stephen Rahman is a good looking guy, i dont think he's suitable to be our legendary Hang Tuah. Yeah, he can sing (i mean it...), but he lacks the malay look, and the way he spurts his lines doesnt sound like Tuah I imagined. maybe i prefer the movie version of Tuah played by M Nasir or P Ramlee.
Stephen still reminds me of his character in Los dan Faun, hilarious. AC Mizal sounded like he got flu (or maybe he purposely did that) and Adlin was so natural playing his role as Sultan Mahmud. Hats off to the actors and actresess for the good job. there are few glitches but due to their professionalism, it was seamless.

PGL got moving sail, PRTM got moving train. both equally amazing. PRTM xde magic, PGL ada magic.. jeng jeng jeng... pegi tengok.

Chapter 212 - Class of a Masters

i just installed Kaspersky anti-Virus last week. the version 7 might be outdated in term of its release, but it works to my expectation. the latest installment of kaspersky is version 9 FYI.. and also the one which came out before that, version 8. honestly, i haven't use any anti-virus for 3 years. it's like having intercourse without any contraception; dangerous but satisfying. i won't have to worry for lag when startup, no annoying warning sound... and also serves as a soft reminder to not surf porn sites; or at least teach me to surf porn safely. hahahaha.. so, any misfortunes with viruses, i have to get rid of it manually. on the bright side, i get to know a bit on how registry works and where virus usually resides.. see, not bad what....

I honestly admit that i dont know how to use facebook. so many invitations over things i cannot properly comprehend or use. call me old ~ i dont care. Generation Y can kiss my arse.

Glory2 MU

When i said i support Man Utd, people around (especially MU-haters) said that i choose MU because they're winning. It is not totally true. i'm rooting for MU ever since i knew football. that time around, players like scholesy, giggsy, becky (opps.. Beckham), butt, and neville brothers started to bloom. it's true they're winning; and that was part of my judgement. but throughout the years, they win some and lose some. team like Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal did win their shares of becoming league champion, european champion or domestic cup champion. but why i didn't choose them instead of the losing MU? the answer is straight and simple; unlike others, MU win it with class. through that, i pledge my loyalty to MU and support them through high and tides. that had become love. will i still root for MU when Fergie is no longer their manager? or when C.Ronaldo or Rooney left the club? or when MU sits on the bottom of the league? the answer is still YES. because how horrible their twist of fates are, i believe they will make a comeback, which is not a regular comeback, but a classy one.

Don't cry Federer, you're gonna get that 14th GS title..

The same goes with Tennis. I personally choose R.Federer as the best tennis player of all time; now and ever. He became king of Tennis for 4 years, until Nadal won the Wimbledon and took the #1 title from him. new names came up with remarkable talent such as Nadal, Djokovic, Tsonga, Verdasco, Murray... yet I choose and root for Federer; because he plays with class. yesterday, he lost the Australian Open final to #1 rank Nadal, which was painful for me to watch. but i believe he will overcome the slump in recent years and regain the #1 title.

Ciao.

Chapter 211 - Sigh..

APOLLO kedekut. whether i'm buying a fake Apollo or, Apollo is truly becoming stingy. last time i remembered buying an Apollo choco stick, they put 4 sticks in it. now, they put 3 sticks in the same old packaging.

Happy Chinese New Year. I'm wishing my chinese reader (if any) a prosperous year ahead. like you're not prosper enough.. but still, what you wish for others might come to you rite.. anyway, during the CNY holiday, i went back to Penang with my family. it's been ages since we all went for holiday together; and i've been looking forward to it since we first planned it. oh by the way, don't get confused with the date.. same ol' delayed telecast. one of the purpose we all went back to kampung is to attend my cousin's engagement ceremony. he's 2 years younger than me but settling in already. i'm a late bloomer weh... hahaha..

A: I'm so tired, i can't think straight..
B: So, you're thinking gay?

gay joke is a popular joke among certain guys. because there is nothing more taboo than being gay, and it is most fun to make joke of your friend as if they're gay. i don't have gay friend as far as i know, nor being one. i feel like i need to clarify that. hahaha..

Chapter 210 - Freedom

FREE PALESTINE!

Stop the terror, f**king Zionis and their allies! the invasion and annihilation are just cruel and unjust. kids, old folks and women are killed. the world has seen how f**ked up things are, yet we still watching.

Damn the PBB for cowardly allowing the terror.

Where's the justice?

May Allah bless the syahid and protect thousands more of innocent lives, may it be Muslim or not...

Chapter 209 - Sux & FCUK

FCUK.. French Connection UK. but my mind loves to play word jumble. it Sux.

i watched IT Crowd and I love it! the humor just click with me. despite the title, it doesn't bother much on the IT technical crap. just some office affair that is so humorous. pity those who works in IT. what happened to the letter-pigeon era?? smoke signal everyone?? cmon, it's much more fun than typing an email.

also watched Detroit Metal City. it's an anime. but funny as hell; warning though, too much of explicit words and disturbing images, but porn-free. it's not like hentai or anything.. enjoyable.

my trip to white water rafting canceled. SUX big time. those nerds, or in this circumstances, my friends are whether busy getting pregnant, working, Disaster Recovery, or pleasuring themselves in front of the computer screen. few of us really wanna go, but not enough 'kaki'. nyesal x ikut trip kawan aku. ARGhhhHh!!

spread the hate...

Chapter 208 - New Year

Buying a toy for children is not as easy as it looks. i went to Alamanda to buy 2 presents for my precious nephews last friday, and i spent almost an hour browsing for it. i've got 2 nephews; one is 3 y.o and the other one just turned 1. i was thinking buying a drum set for the 3 y.o, but on second thought, i would not want to sacrifice my sleep and serene moment when i'm at home. i can imagine the boy jamming the drum set from dusk till tomorrow's dusk. the happiness of others at the expense of my own happiness? that is just outrages. in the end, i bought a d.i.y train for the 3 y.o and this boxy thingy for the 1 y.o. personally, i enjoyed the boxy thingy than the train. maybe its because of the colors and the cloth materials.

well, just as i thought things will going as i planned, my aunt gave the 3 y.o a guitar. an electric guitar for children with colorful buttons and annoying sounds. Damn.

Happy New Year 1430 and 2009!!! May we are blessed for the years coming.

still with the toy story.. how to spice-up a toy-shop?

by arranging a toy on top of another.

giler horny babi tu..

next question.. how to double the spice?

by arranging another toy on top of another which on top of another..


spread the love....

Chapter 207 - Snore

Mid-life crisis hits early. unless if i only get to live until 50, then it is right on schedule.

i'd promised myself that things are going to change this coming years. taking everything with utmost responsibility. trying to commit and finish things i'd left out. well, it sounds to everyone like... adulthood. yeah.. it is. i kinda forgot to pick that up when i was 20. so, there are a lot of catching up to do.

i've uploaded new songs. well, this is interesting because, i dunno how's the license or copyright shit works, but i had this feeling that posting up other people songs is illegal. in their defence (or in their lawsuit statement), it's their sweat-quenching-hardwork-crap to get inspired, write, record and publish the song, but in the end, i just ripped it and post it in here. sounds unfair, but when i think thoroughly, the purpose of me to allow visitors to stream the songs is no much different with publicizing the song and its singer through TV or radio. therefore, even if it is illegal, then it would be like "illegal but... morally and ethically justified" (Please do the two-finger two-hand gesture while reading the bolded statement, thank you). it's like i'm doing a favor to the singers, and so... in return, it is in my best interest that the singers or their label does not sue me. so thanks in advance, and i'll gladly continue to rip your songs and publicize it in this blog.

tonight i'll be going to a farewell dinner. and suprisingly they put on a theme for that particular event; 'The 60's Night'. And ever since i got this invitation 10 minutes ago, i don't feel like dressing up in 60's eventhough i'm going. now, how i can refuse a free dinner when there is only RM50 altogether in my wallet and bank? seriously, i'm not joking. well, i still think that there are somebody as cool as me coming to the dinner without putting on the Austin Power-like velvet shirt and outwear. i still gonna look cool in my boxer anyway.

so, RM50 with 7 days to go. not so shabby, i guess i can live throught it. weekends at mom's aint gonna cost me a cent. so that left me with 5 days. i filled up RM30 of petrol yesterday, and i think it gonna last until next tuesday at least. bought myself rations that'll last until friday. so that left me 3 days to spent the RM30 (minus the petrol on Tuesday); or i just can keep it to be on the safer side, in case somebody suddenly want to buy new rims for his new Jaguar. Ooppss..

Chapter 206 - Looming

for a second thought, i dunno what 'loom' is. i've bumped into the word before, but since it's not in my daily vocab, it seems like forgotten. i think it got something to do with 'creeping' or anything similar to that. Lomo i know la.. something that my sister currently craze. some photographic method using special camera and shit. yeah, that and also made my mom go crazy. she usually goes out drink at night with her 'lomo group' and end up me calling her (after intensely ordered by mom) to get her ass back home. not enough with that, this 'lomo group' went to Penang last 2 weeks and i dunno how she 'kecek' my dad to allow her; she went and send my mom into restless sleep for 4 days. now... they've got this exhibition going on somewhere in KL, and same shit happening every single day; either go-home call for couple of times, or intense 'luahan perasaan' by mom at breakfast the next morning. victim? ME.

it's good for her to get a hobby instead of ending up as Bohsia or minah rempit or prostitute (God forbid), but i told her that she need to be a bit diplomatic. now with our parent known as the Golden-Citizen, more tenderness and sacrifice are needed. she needed to play her card well. but she's can't escape the blame. she needs to realize her boundaries. what a girl can or cannot do. and i do sometimes felt that she crossed the line, and for that she need to slow down.

but she's not someone who can accept criticism. i remembered we had this huge fight when i unliterally make fun of her choice of music; the 'Independence music'. wooo~~ i remembered saying something like "indenpendence music is not a mainstream music" and also some uncalled smugs, and she totally flipped-out. she threw some musical jargon-shits and then we exchanged few combination of painful pintches and slaps.... except that we didn't exchange any, instead i was in the receiving end because i was driving at that time. she then claimed that i was jelous because in my era (or to be correctly clarified in this context is, my youth years), i dont have such music. OH MY GOD! just because her BF played in an unknown band, doesn't mean that she can insult me or those who are pre-1983. our parent having fun in their youth without such music, our forefathers had fun in their youth without such music, heck! even those people in stone age having fun in their youth without any music at all. I, for instance had fun stealing my classmate's underwear and totally embarassed him in class during my youth, and by that time i was listening to Backstreet Boy and Richard Marx. yeah..those years. i wont trade for anything, except for Amanda Seyfried or Scarlett Johansson. well, my point is.. 'indenpendence music' is not the key to happiness. i bet that she gonna realized that sooner or later.. or when she's 25. sooner's the better, so that i can throw her, "i've told you".

ciao.

Chapter 205 - Man With Mission

Comes December. i had 25 Decembers so far, and somehow both emotions of hate and love mixes together. ends of something hateful, and the beginning of another. years gone by, yet i felt nothing gained; except for my weight. sucks. wait, there might be something though...

last December > alive
this December > limbs intact
= Alhamdulillah

last December > working as a temp
this December > working on a contract
= increase workload for few extra grains

last December > PlayStation 2
this December > PlayStation 3
= works and no play makes Jack a dull boy

last December > Single
this December > Single and miserable
= no comment

last December > Degree
this December > Still Degree
= Thesis sucks!

last December > Mom's Iswara
this December > Still...
= loser, but not for long

last December > going nowhere
this December > definitely going somewhere
= at least gonna keep my mind on something else

last December > 24
this December > 25
= creeping deadline

definitely, i'll do my best next year. awaiting verdict on next December.

ciao.

Chapter 204 - Normal

Nothing much happened these couple of weeks. as usual, kerja, kerja, kerja.. probably same thing goes with everyone. dah dekat hujung tahun ni al-maklum la. sape yang agak2 nk kawen, sebok dgn persiapan kawen. sape yang nak kawen tahun depan, dah sebok nk membeli barang kawen. sape yang dah kawen, sebok nk bawak anak-bini pegi holiday. semua pakai duit. DUIT! DUIT! DUIT! tapi adakah bermakna kita ni hamba kepada duit? entahlah.. depend on how we interpret it. tipulah bila aku kata duit bukan segala-galanya padahal aku tertunggu2 hujung bulan gaji masuk. Game Eternal Sonata masih menunggu aku kat kedai uncle Wong. itupon nk pakai duit. percutian ke beijing, perhentian ngan kinabalu tahun depan pon nk pakai duit. belom lagi kira hutang piutang dgn kawan2.. semua nk pakai duit. pendek kata hidup ni perabihkan duit saje. itu aku la....

you all know lah.. world economy is very very shaky right now. dominasi US dlm ekonomi dunia dah jadi macam sampah-sarap menanti saat nk dilupuskan. mmg patut kita mencari dominasi baru. China maybe? hahaha.. cakap mmg senang. mmg dasar perbualan orang yang bukan bidang kepakaran yang menonong cakap xpegang fakta; sama la macam ahli2 politikus kat tanah air kita ni... baik biru, merah, hijau, kuning, biru muda; gay atau lurus... xpegang jawatan lagi dah janji itu ini. nak reform la, xnak kroni la, nk jual putrajaya la, nk bagi air free la, nk lepas jawatan la... kesudahnya, bila dah pegang kuasa.. janji tinggal janji.

tahukah anda thanksgiving di negara yang menyambutnya jatuh pada tarikh yang berbeza2. US pada fourth Thursday in November, Canada pada second Monday in October dan Granada pada 25th October. kenapa nk tahu padahal kita xsambut? sebab xsalah utk tahu... kenapa berbeza2? sbb pada lahirnya, thanksgiving adalah pesta menuai. tamatnya musim autumn menandakan tamatnya musim bercucuk tanam. lain negara, lain interpretasi akan akhirnya musim luruh. jadi sebagai penghargaan kepada tanah dan manusia yang mengerjakan tanah, derang sambut thanksgiving dgn buat makan besar. Malaysia pon ada pesta menuai, tapi disambut oleh golongan minoriti saje. Pada fitrahnya, konsep thanksgiving ni x lari dari konsep bersedekah dan berterima kasih dalam Islam; kecuali pemujaan tuhan tanah dan sebagainya. cuma, xperlula tunggu perayaan atau event baru nk bersedekah dan berterima kasih.

ciao.

Chapter 203 - Resistance

Erm.. nak bagitau ke, tak..?

kalau bagitau kang, ramai ngaku kawan...

kalau x bagitau, kata aku kedeq...

bagitau je la...

.

..

...

aku da beli PS3 minggu lepas. expected nk beli hujung bulan ni. nak tunggu gaji katakan... then, bila aku ngan partner in crime aku pegi survey, ada rumors kata harga PS3 Malaysia nak naik harga. most probably outsanding demand ataupon harga utk krismas. then we were left with Singapore's PS3. one thing bugging us about Singapore's PS3 is the warranty. "kalau lu mau pakai itu walanti, lu pegi singapore la kasi hanta". kata apek tu. so, to be on the safe side, we chose the Malaysia's PS3. console kosong including 1 Dualshock 3 controller, kalau kat kedai biasa ranging dlm RM1550 - 1650. dekat sony dealer (style/center) dia offer 1 console, 1 controller ngan 2 game free (chosen games) for RM1800. since area Sg Wang ada 2 sony sytle, kitorang pilih kedai yg bagi best offer. i picked Assassin's Creed and Soul Calibur, while my friend picked Siren and Resistance. then i bought PES 2009 and he bought Metal Gear Solid 4. Dem. 1 game mmg mahal. Ori la katakan.... sejak berkerjaya ni jadi bengap nk pakai original walaupon tak berapa berkemampuan. better la.. nk tunggu hackers sedunia pirate'kan Blu-Ray, ntah bila la... Blu-Ray Writer pon berbelas2 ribu ringgit skrg ni.pastu ada support online gaming. the game price depend on release date and games' popularity. mcm PES2009 tu mahal sket sbb baru lagi. so aku beli ngan harga RM220. MGS4 game yg popular walaupon dah lama kuar, member aku dpt RM190.


Better la beli ada kawan2. leh tukar2 game. lebur jugak poket kalau nk rely kat diri sendri. skrg ni pon tgh proses racun kawan2 suh beli console. hehehe. Weh...beli la..

skrg ni pertimbangan aku nk beli tv crt atau lcd. cewah2 macam kaya sangat aku nih... bukan skrg la nk beli, semua dlm rancangan. kita merancang, Tuhan menentukan. Sorry to say, HD TV xde potential dlm Malaysia ni, sbb RTM mmg xde rancangan nk tukar definisi siaran. Al-kisah derang nk tukar jugak, berjuta2 ringgit la kena spend nk tukar sistem pemancar. Org awam pon nk kena tukar TV kepada HD TV. apa kes? kalau serius nk tukar definisi pon aku budget penyiar swasta yg akan mengorak langkah. ASTRO tatau la, mungkin integrate sikit2. atau pon ada broadcaster yg baru offer siaran cable dlm HD. perghhh... So, as i said, antara 2 tu la. LCD yg so-so saje atau CRT.

nasib la aku xde tanggungan...

Chapter 202 - 9021016

I've been consistently doing 4 posts monthly. bagus x?

My mom just had her Laporoscopic Sigmoid bla bla bla operation last Friday. Lucky for her to have monthly checkup at IJN. the doctor detected an anomaly with her result and after scanning, they found that my mom got a colon cancer. Lap operation as what i was told should be easier and quick to recover. it's because they dont have to open up and instead, they make this small incision to insert a camera, and another one is used to cut the tumor and staple the remaining colon back to where it should connected. i dunno. i'm not a doctor. but somehow, there was a complication and the doctor have to open up my mom's stomach. despite that, the operation went well and she's recovering. thanks for the warm thoughts from fellow friends.

when i was in penang for Raya, i brought my laptop together. since i was bored, i tried reading One Piece from an online manga website. of course from friends' recommendation. and 2 days ago, i finished reading 520 chapters of One Piece. actually, a good manga makes you addicted to it and you're dying to know what gonna happen next. for that, i shall grant One Piece as a good manga. Bleach started to become boring since current story line doesn't involve the main character much. Naruto still have the vibe. He's learning to become stronger and that's cool. Kekkaishi kinda hard to find the scanlations although it's one of the best for me.

One thing kept bugging me these few days. PS3. huhuhuhu... counting the days...

Chapter 201 - Seriously Persuaded

the same super genius friend who sold his dad's Omnia to me successfully persuaded me on buying PS3 with him. not a joint thingy. i've seen it already. it never work. in fact, my friend was ripped off by his partner whom sold the console without his consent and kept all the share for himself. yep, his friend is an ass.

we both gonna buy ps3 and that my friend is not 'gay stuff', but a totally kicked-ass online gaming cooperation in the making. and not to mention, ps3 game can cost you around RM200+. so, the idea of having a friend to exchange games is welcomed. though, i was disturbed by some reviews in the net saying ps3 online gaming is a nightmare.. if it's true, then it going to be frustrating, but the sole reason i chose Sony over Microsoft is a developer named Square. they just happened to produced fine RPG games. who in the world doesn't heard of Final Fantasy? only faggots and homeless i assume.

plus, when i am too deep during playing FF13 or remake of FF7, and suddenly feel hungry and lazy enough to go to the kicthen, i can always pop up the console hood and grab the ayamas black pepper sausages i put in ealier.

for me, X-BOX achilles' heels are....

• weird controller. i'm not diggin the un-even analog button dude...
• no Square game? cmon...
• again with controller. white? i'll buy i-mac or WD passport if i want white

for some reason, i felt that there'll be an x-box lovers out there reading this. doesnt meant to offend you guys, but if you're offended, then so be it. the damage is done.

Must buy game (for now):

1. Metal gear solid 4
2. PES2009
   

MGS4

PES 2009

ok guys. wipe those drool. from time to time, i'll update my wish-game-list.

ciao

Chapter 200 - Milestone

celebrating 200th post. yeay.. my blog also old, sama mcm tuan dia.. uhuk2... jap, lemme fire up the mercun..


that sucks..

this week might be the most un-productive week ever. things are undone. shit happened. but looking on the bright side, i got to step back from everything for a while. really, what happened was i got this nasty eye infection. it god reddish with this uncomfortable feeling.. make we wanna rub it, but i know if i rub it, it'll make it worse. it's like having a devil eye.. with the blood arteries or vena or whatever they called it visible on my eyeball (i was just thinking of using the word popping instead of visible, but that just sound awful and riddiculous.. because otherwise, i'm dead already). i'm feeling a bit better now since i've put on the eye-drop and the ointment. dont worry, i dont think it is infectious. how do i know it?.. ive been around my family these past few days, and nobody infected.. but who knows.. 28 days later. or 28 weeks later... why 28? i just using the movies' name, idiot. anyway, i've got to wear black shade even in my house and it's cool. at least i'm looking good even when i'm sick.

recently, i've been fighting with my 3 years old nephew over who can use my laptop. can you believe it? MY laptop... that little piece of critter just kept bugging me. it's true that at this age, kids absorb things like a sponge in a bucket of water. so i'm very particular with my words and actions. but it's fun to see him not getting things he wanted. call me a bully or whatever, he's still need to do better than kissing my cheek and pleading "apai, nak main game please...". hey, I'm just doing my job as an uncle... He learnt how to open the computer game by watching me did it once, he also already know how to open Company of Heroes. i guess by 5, he can join me and buddies to play CoH. hahaha.. this computer game he loves to play is called Purble Place. Lucky they didnt name it as Pubic Place. funny, i noticed something.

we are taught to follow rules since we can remember. like purble place. my nephew is good at it. what i can say... it's a children game; it's not a rocket-science game. you need to put up a cake as what the customer wanted, starting from deciding the shape of the cake, then the type of chiffon, the color of the icing and lastly putting some decorations on top of it. the whole interface is nice, colorful and bright.. enough to attract kids..and me... the catch is, to win the game is by preparing a cake which is exactly as what your customer wanted. if you fail to do so, then this weird animated cartoon as the bakery's owner will give you a good scolding. Isn't this restraining one mind's creativity. kids should not be teach to be bound by the rules. who cares what type of decorations, what shape of the cake, or even the flavor of the icing.. let them run wild in their imagination. i may sound ridiculous, but bear with me for a while.

"get a good grade, and you'll get a good job with good paycheck". that sucks. because people with bad grade cannot achieve something in this world. is it proven? not entirely. instead of putting this kind of crap in your kids' brain, you should teach them the value of money. teach them how to play with money and throw away skeptical and negativity. but.. yes, there's a but. but, education also important. it'll pretty much stimulate the chances and open door to the new possibilities. I might sound like Robert T Kiyosaki. because i just finished reading his book. poyo kan aku?

Chapter 199 - Kingdom Come

My condolences to a friend who lost his mother recently. I dunno how he treat his mother, but i think, i'm not a very good son. sigh.. we only appreciate things when we lost it. a human being is not a thing, but the wisdom serves all. I'm lucky to have my mom around. she's in her 60's now. i prayed hard for her health and promised to be a better son. we all should...

30 days of syawal, 8 days of saturdays and sundays, numbers of open hse invitations on weekends, berkilo2 of calories from rendang, sate, etc etc. consumed... i'm getting fatter and fatter every second. sighing wouldn't bore any result. but i guess, it's not my problem alone, a lot of guys out there having hard time keeping down their crave. i'm thinking of repeating the glorious era 10 years ago.. of course with huge efforts and patience. i've read that it's not about willpower, but more to a spur of a moment. like saying no to the rubbish waiter at a restaurant. more over, I need to say NO to the small satanic voice in my head, and take care of my body. we all should...

Chapter 198 - After

Hope it's not too late. it is not. Selamat Hari Raya. Saya menyusun 10 jari (11 kalau ada), memohon maaf atas salah kata, terkasar anggota dan bicara. I celebrated my raya in Penang by the way. there were 3 families crashing in my aunt's place. bit crammed, but a wholesome of fun. i brought my laptop.. to show how geek i am. but the true reason is, i dont want to leave it alone at home, because nobody's there during the raya. remember guys, do not leave any of your electronic device.. anywhere at all. even if you feel it is safe inside your car trunk, it is TRULY NOT! my friend's trunk was busted inside Low Yat's underground parking area. the cctv (which doesn't help much) showed the thievery process took about 1 minute. now we're talking about the real 'gone in 60 seconds'. i wondered, low yat is full of high-tech, cutting edge, of the shelves gadgets. they got the HD TV here and there, video camera that can zoom right into your nostril, yet they put a lousy black-and-white cctv camera in the parking lot. how focked up is that?

I watched KAMI the movie on the first day of raya and Eagle Eye on the second day. Both are good movies. especially on the EE. the technologies are awesome. i love talking computer, i love a machine that able to process human interactions and emotions, also love one that can do things remotely.... like killing.. wait a minute, these fine criteria can be found on a single machine in Eagle Eye. Cool!

I bid my farewell to V3X and welcomed my new sweetheart, Samsung i900 Omnia. before, i was targeting the HTC Touch Pro. my workmate promised to get me a good price by purchasing it from UK. he told me to wait for his paypal approved. Surely he's special...his approval needs 1000 years. i cannot wait no more. plus, i tried on my manager's HTC TP, but to my dissappointment, it lacks the edge i'm looking for. yeah... then, my saviour-ultimate genius friend called me..(cewah, kipas abis). asking me if i'm interested in buying his father's Omnia. He got me at hello.... he got me at hello...

Chapter 197 - Before

while i flipped the astro channels on my crappy 14" TV, i stumbled upon classic 1986 transformer cartoon. they translate the language to bahasa malaysia and if i'm not mistaken, i watched the same series in other languages. English of course and also Tamil. Among these three, the worst is the one in bahasa Malaysia. Somehow, it's funny to hear the voices of Giant, Nobita, Kiteretsu and Rantarou in a Transformer series. berkerut muka aku dengar suara2 robot yang sengaja di'distort'kan. Tak pernah aku tengok kartun sambil berkerut muka. bacaan skrip yg teruk, nada suara yang dibuat2, mmg lawak giler.

Comic #1
Megatron: Terangkan pada saya, apakah tempat ini?
Budak: Tempat makan ais krim kot.

Comic #2
Budak dan Bumblebee versi sampah dikurung dlm bilik oleh Megatron
Budak: Habislah, apa kita nak buat ni?
Bumblebee versi sampah: Jangan risau, saya ada lampu.

Comic #3
Bapak budak: Bagitau ayah, apa kamu buat disana?
Budak: Saya dapat tahu hari ni hari jadi UltraMagnus, sebab tu saya nak tolong menjayakan persidangan damai sebagai hadiah hari jadi UltraMagnus.
Bapak budak: Hari ni hari jadi UltraMagnus?
UltraMagnus: Saya pon tidak tahu bila hari jadi saya.

Transformers Rocks! Transformers in Malay language NOT!

Chapter 196 - Which? Dou Ka Na..

Will you sacrifice your love for your future?
My love is my future...cewah. but future brings new love. ahaha..

i've read a lot of blog consists of questions pick up from somewhere and entertain themselves and their readers with the answers. I really want to do it, but i don't like to be look as a copycat. so, i'll do it later, when not so many people doing it.

I almost hit the 200 posts mark. It's been a wonderful 3 years. I've changed my writing style a lot. i varied most of them so that i will not reveal my personality. hehehe... ada my friend yang buat blog meleleh dari mula sampai sekarang... so, mmg dah dikecam yang dia ni mat leleh. ada yang jenis hentam sana, hentam sini.. diri sendiri saje betul; jenis yang lawak dibaca tapi malas utk didekati. ada yang buat blog teknikal (dari ilmu IT sampai la kepada resipi masakan)... ada yang buat blog lucu, tapi kadang2 xlucu.. ada yang buat blog serius, tapi lawak gile. so, there are various style of blogging. one thing i didn't try is posting something technical. maybe in few post from now i will..

I just finished watching few Japanese and Korean movies. they really good at blending love and death in a movie. more saddist, more better. eventhough it is sad, but i cant find myself to cry. buat2 kelip mata pon xnak kuar air mata (nk try feeling movie, kang dikata hati kering pulak) but, that's not all the beauty of it. i love the cinematography......and the cute actresses. also, i seldom find new wisdom from the lines.

"You know that you love her when you think of her first thing in the morning, you know that you love her if you think of her when you're down"

but i like this most,

"with misfortune comes opportunity"

simple yet meaningful.

6 days to Raya... I'm eligible enough to give out duit raya this year. sigh~ bertuah anak2 sedara aku ada uncle yg best mcm aku. kepada kawan2 terdekat apatah lagi yang jauh, toksah ngado2 nk mintak.

chow-chin-ciao
