Merry Be-early Christmas!

Wish I could have posted this on Christmas Day itself.Wish I could have posted MORE :( Nway it's that time of the year again when people celebrate,give thanks and contemplate on past events and hope for a better future!Which is the reason why I never feel that Christmas is just another passing event after all these years.It is just the break that IMHO everyone needs to cap another passing year.And yeah..all that jazz~nice.To my Christian friends,what better way to do that than by celebrating the birth of Jesus?And to all my non-Christian friends,all are welcomed to join in the fun and revelry of Christmas season!Nice decorations,nice atmosphere and there's even a truly beautiful meaning behind it all.What's not to like? :) So let us all keep the burning candles of Hope,Peace and Love alight and never lose the audacity to do so in the midst of our ever changing world.Some may argue that with light,shadows are even more longer reaching.But heck,take comfort in knowing that the shadows are moving AWAY from the source of light.To what end?Only God knows.Argh in short,let's leave all that omnipotent kind of thinking stuff to God and just focus on doing the simple thing;Keep the flame ALIVE!ROAR!

Once again,MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and may all good tidings be with you! :)

Relieved of tiredness for 2 minutes

Just the thing I needed considering I'm super duper tired due to my previous 7 days(dating back to a month ago ^^)

Cover of Yesterday Once More(excerpt from a Korean Drama)


Well some parts sounded weird at times.This is certainly incomparable if compared to what Karen Carpenter sung.But then again I am touched by the earnestness in its delivery.Spellbound.Apparently the beautiful lady acts as a blind person in a Korean drama thus explaining her seemingly dead and non-existent eye contact.And yeah just the sight of her helps alot too :)

Well Korean dramas aren't my kind of thing and this sure won't make me start watching them.But it sure is nice to know that there are some brilliance somewhere along the line.. ;)

Dry season?Check this out.

Well..things are getting pretty dry for my blog :( But well,things are certainly interesting what with the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack for World of Warcraft!Check these out :D

Ice Skating!

Well, I've finally went ice skating!Well..actually I shouldn't phrase it in such an enthusiastic manner since it is one of the things I never expected myself to ever do in my life.But oh well.Going with the flow.

Based on what I have observed,the ice-skating rink in Sunway Pyramid consists of a few kinds of people.I must note that this is just my frank opinion,nothing to do with stereotyping people or being judgemental and all that nonsense.

A more general approach of identification

1)The people who can skate

Skaters with a sense of stability.Graceful/not.Feet not bent outwards.Can move fast/not.Based on the things just mentioned,exactly the opposite of The people who can't skate.Are divided into a few select categories,but I'm omitting it since I don't feel like writing those down.Maybe only for now.

2)The people who can't skate(Beginners)

Basically the opposite of what The people who can skate can do.Note that it is only a matter of skill,with nothing to do with mentality and presentation of one's own self when I mention exact opposite.

More specific roles

1)The sidebar grapplers
Is identified quickly by just..this is not in any way a simple way of speaking but yeah it is in fact a fact..by just glancing over the sidebars located around the rink,simply speaking the perimeter of the rink.Well these group of people hoards the sidebars,for various reasons which I leave to your imagination.Or you can proceed reading the blue text below.

Taking a rest sidebar grapplers
-Self explanatory.

Stalking sidebar grapplers
-With eyes moving up and down and left and right throughout the rink one wonders who exactly are they looking at.God bless those who fall into their line of sight.More often than not,beginners.Nemesis of the bulldozing sidebar grapplers(explained later).

Gloating sidebar grapplers
-Evil.Looks at people who are terrible at ice skating with a triumphant and often malicious satisfaction.Completed with a weird grin on their faces.Only God knows whom among them can actually skate.Depending on that,may like(gloating) or dislike(explained later) bulldozing sidebar grapplers.

Bulldozing sidebar grapplers
-The bane of all other sidebar grapplers.Beginners.Prowls along their territory,the sidebars.Not called prowlers since bulldoze fits their niche better.Walks along the whole perimeter of the ice-skating rink with their hands on the sidebars,clearing out taking a rest sidebar grapplers,stalking sidebar grapplers,gloating sidebar grapplers,and other bulldozing sidebar grapplers who just happen to get in the way.Hated by stalking sidebar grapplers who happen to be beginners because they actually have to move away from their highly desirable activity and risk falling down,colliding with people etc.Liked by gloating sidebar grapplers who can skate simply for the entertainment provided.

2)I am so fast I can't stop! skaters
Likes to think they are moving at the speed of sound.Zips pass other people they deem to be slow,obstructive.Usually,this brings into effect the standoff between either themselves with other types of skaters or other skaters with other skaters.Well they sure might think they can move at the speed of sound and are the embodiment of sound itself.Sadly real life doesn't work like ideal perfect collision and repel.Even if it might be true,it must be funny to have a topdown view of the rink look like pinball.

3)Hold my hand+I'm so scared skaters
Oh well.Generally means A friend who is good at skating is helping the other friend who is not good at skating.I can't figure out whether this is a parasitic,saprofitic,or an epifitic kind of relationship.A note to the good one.Don't forget to look out for the other skaters,not only at your friend.You may be good at skating,and can avoid other skaters accordingly.But there are many who aren't and may just get their first chance(maybe their first chance of falling down in front of you)of falling down.

4)Apathethic Kids
Note that I'm only mentioning those who are totally not aware of their surroundings.Can be adult/real kid but both share the term kids here.Can seemingly get all that they want in life.Move here,there without making use of their stereoscopic vision.I'm not mentioning how many times they actually fell down due to their own fault.If only they knew how many people they nearly caused to fall down/fall in place of them.Could've filled the namelist of a small party.Then maybe everyone could have a great chat about how they are wrongfully accidentad by the Apathetic kids.

5)Showoffs
Really don't feel like saying anything here.Since there is a probability of this thread topic being biased,because I'm not good at skating.But yeah,you know what I mean when you see them.

6)Crazy idiots
Well..look what we have here.A bunch of crazed,lunatic people fit to be sent next to the mental asylum in Tanjung Rambutan.Well,my friends and I are in this group.Hmm this is a real first person observation.HAHA :D


Anyway,I fell 11 times.Ask me personally how I fell down for the type of fall i experienced.Pretty good though for a first time,thanks to my 'a long long time ago' experience in rollerblading.Well I guess its time to wrap things up.To the Blades of Glory! XD

Mental Cases

Well Ive decided to put some more dumb stuff I found in the net just to keep this site from rotting further...sad :(
Thanks to the never-ending workload I get!

Okay enjoy~

Making sense out of seemingly nonsensical stuff

I believe that there is a time for everyone when one realizes that he or she is in a seemingly indescribable situation, where everything seems to be out of sync and there is just something wrong with everything and everyone else. Regrettably, there is nothing else other people could do except being there for you. Even then, there is a limit to how far people could go before being labeled as Job's friends even though there is good intention behind their actions. Nevertheless, that is how human beings are created; the gift of thought and reason is such an intricate and unfathomable thing, a double-edged sword, as could be seen with the state the world is in now. Signals that are sent initially could be received at the other end in a totally warped form, making the signal lose its essence and thus it loses its meaning in knowing itself.

I find it amusing to fiddle with the thought of how the laws of entropy could be linked to our life. Just a thought, not meaning to be received blindly,just like everything else, it is advisable to not receive anything as it is. Everyone has a brain. Back to the laws of entropy, it states that an object or any thing for the matter will obtain higher entropy when it is in a higher state of disorder. The tendency for materials to exist in a state of disorder is a key factor in dictating the position of equilibrium. By getting into a higher state of disorder, a lower state of energy is reached. To cut to the point, disorder is, in fact a more natural state than order. Therefore unwanted things may be happening just because of all the other things,while the one involved have no involvement or fault in it and is unwillingly caught in the middle of it.

However convincing or not that thread or thought might appear to you, I feel that it is in fact a very selfish thought to have, and I really hope and pray that it does not happen to me in any time in the future. If it does, I hope my friends will bash my head up(not literally though it might be a very fun thing to happen). IMHO we should know that in life, shit does happen sometimes. And it does not happen squarely on any one person. It happens to everyone. So there is no point in finger pointing and blaming everything else and justify it like for example, by using the laws of entropy. Try convincing your parents with it when you are told to tidy up your messed up room.

Fortunately for us, factors which dictate the balance position in chemical reactions are fewer and far less complicated than those in real-life situations if not it would mean a whole load of painkillers whenever one gets the occasional chemistry homework. Well, there is still real-life to deal with, but oh well, its a matter of going on with all that one has together with the people who care for you. Not to forget, looking at things at a different perspective. Lets look back at the law of entropy. If it is natural for things to be in a disorder, then one could contribute to the disorderness of everything by not simply resigning to the fact that one's life is in disarray,and start taking action by taking responsibility for ones predicament. The whole thing would be pulled on opposing sides, contributing to more disorder into the system ,which is much more natural eh? I pray that everyone including myself will not lose any common sense by dwelling on negativity. Sure it is addictive. But well we have the power to make a choice. Happiness is a choice too, and it is up to the person involved himself/herself to make sense of it all.

Weird things on the net..again

The Internet never ceases to amaze me.Nowadays, I'm practically online most of the time. Having to use it now so frequently for the sake of searching for information necessary for the completion of all the lab reports and assignments I get,it does gives me room for thought on some other stuff along the way.I now have a very different perspective for people I previously thought had nothing better to do with their free time.Shows another case of my ignorance.For example,making stupid videos and things like that.Now I finally realize that these kind of people are actually operating at a very unconventional yet necessary kind of niche for the survival of humankind.Their very important but sadly in most cases unregarded contribution to the preservation of humankind's sanity should be given a big badge of watever in recognition of their work.Come on these guys/gals deserve a big clap on the back for their effort in making our world a more happier place albeit dumber(citation needed) kind of place to live in.Well,I'm not complaining.After all,it is nicer to look at a different point of view occasionally.Makes one realize how stupid one in their own sense actually is after all the ignorant labelling one has placed on other people/things throughout his/her life! :)

Enjoy! XD

Oh yeah I remember

Yesh! Its finally here! My laptop! Thanks to my Dad for this wonderful thing. Actually I had it since last..thurs.But yeah things are still hectic in uni. Not only will it continue like that, things should be getting faster and faster in the future. Hope I'll get used to it just like everyone else. It's great that finally I'll get to multitask like everyone else have been doing. Haha yeah I'm talking bout the computer, not me :)

Anyway it really felt great to be able to download stuff. For myself, and its in my computer! Haha it sounds funny but yeah I kinda feel proud for having downloaded great material for my first. Estrella! Nice local band. Perfect for the many long nights ahead of me.

Well I guess I better be off to do my assignments.Nway on the topic of this post, yeah I remember. I know this sounds cliche, but memories really do not fade away in a person. Though some things may fade away over time..man..I'm experiencing deja vu?But yeah memories don't. And just like how fond memories bring warmth to any living and breathing creature, it really does bring a smile to my face everytime I think about it..

Carpenters-Close To You

Its Been Awhile

Man I haven't found time to be posting anything lately..my schedule is definitely getting tighter with each passing week what with more classes.And really it is very inconvenient to be posting anything without a computer to call my own :( Well its not here yet but it is definitely coming!!Router's now okay(man am I optimistic or stupid?) in the shop after sending it back for warranty..haven't found time to go get it though..

Well anyway here's a weird but nice ode.Credits to the deceased artist behind it.Adios!


Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market

Among the market greens,
a bullet
from the ocean
depths,
a swimming
projectile,
I saw you,
dead.

All around you
were lettuces,
sea foam
of the earth,
carrots,
grapes,
but
of the ocean
truth,
of the unknown,
of the
unfathomable
shadow,
the depths of the sea,
the abyss,
only you had survived,
a pitch-black, varnished
witness
to deepest night.

Only you, well-aimed
dark bullet
from the abyss,
mangled
at one tip,
but constantly
reborn,
at anchor in the current,
winged fins
windmilling
in the swift
flight
of
the
marine
shadow,
a mourning arrow,
dart of the sea,
olive, oily fish.
I saw you dead,
a deceased king
of my own ocean,
green
assault, silver
submarine fir,
seed
of seaquakes,
now
only dead remains,
yet
in all the market
yours
was the only
purposeful form
amid
the bewildering rout
of nature;
amid the fragile greens
you were
a solitary ship,
armed
among the vegetables
fin and prow black and oiled,
as if you were still
the vessel of the wind,
the one and only
pure
ocean
machine:
unflawed, navigating
the waters of death.

Pablo Neruda(1904-1973)

Another Joy

It is amazing just to observe where shopping complexes stand in the life of any person in this day and age.There are so many shops offering such vast arrays of differing goods and services that consumers are often spoilt for choice when deciding what to buy and even what to look at.Yes,not only can one literally shop til he/she drops,there are still so many things to do in a shopping complex from indoor rock-climbing to catching a blockbuster movie that it is not surprising that the modern shopping complex is one of the favourite haunts for the young and hip and even as a place for any family to spend the weekends in to share some light moments together.

Thankfully,I'm currently not in the mood to relate shopping complexes to consumerism in capital letters and then to mega conglomerates earning big loads of capital per annum at the expense of 'coolies' at every niche of the hierarchy except for some whom are quite near the top so there you have it that's enough of a load of crap from me..hopefully :)

Well anyway,I managed to stumble upon some kinda fair selling used books in Leisure Mall during one of my first few days back in Kuala Lumpur.A fair selling used books=old books!!

Man I like scouring for nice books.I didn't know when I start having such a passion for books,though I occasionally read some books every now and then.But yeah since small my mother used to take my brother and me to the local library in order to borrow some books to read so I guess that played a large role in incalculating the reading habit in both of us.My parents used to say that it is important to read.And man we sure get to read since we had eight library cards entitling us to borrow eight books at one go! (back then electronics are not embedded into cards hence the need for more than one)

It is a very funny feeling but overall it is nice when I searched through the books.It is like when one is in a garage sale,and there are so many unique used possesions of various sizes and functions.Just to name a few of the things one might see in a garage sale,more often than not there will be little trinkets with fancy colours,table lamp stands with layers of dust covering the light bulbs,while other more notable items might have certain curious appendatures hanging loose at one part or the other due to years of use.Some items might even look brand new,lying untouched for years in the attic just to be discovered in time for a garage sale.The thing is,you never know what you will find unless you keep searching.

The thing I like most about these used books sales is that there is a possibility of finding old titles at a very much lower price than the current overwhelmingly overpriced reprints if ever there are any reprints at all.Though I am very much deprived when it comes to making any sense when I try to describe anything,I really feel like saying that as in all things that are priceless,words become immortal too from the moment it is first formed in the idea of a writer and then,with deft strokes of his/her main hand,ink is minutely discharged from the tip of the pen,eventually forming words and suddenly,whole sentences are materialized,filling page to page,and the process is complete when the magician finally ends it with a fin,or anything of the same sort.Isn't it amazing to think about all that finally being contained into each and every book?

Well,I'm getting sleepy.This post is kinda incomplete :/ Til next time.

Things

Once,I used to savour the taste of sadness.Its like an additive,to quote a recent blog posting of one friend of mine.It is like a hunger deep inside you,intermingled with many different yet not too different feelings,since all are negativities in effect.Frustration,anger,self pity,doubt,grief,fear..all these makes one anything but superficially in touch with ones senses and perception.One suddenly realizes that his/her heart is just a very raw and fragile piece of red meat,just the size of ones fist,and one wonders how many more poundings it will take before the heart just stops beating.Thinking back,it is kinda dumb why I asked for suffering long ago.Not that I suffered much more compared to anyone else.Observing things that happened recently to the people around me and to me myself,once again a sudden longing for sadness has struck me.For with sadness I can again achieve that sense of being in tune with myself and with that,I could relate to what is happening around me and I could project my inner feelings in a more harmonious form,and that to me,is akin to euphoria.God I miss my electric guitar.

Gary Moore-Still Got the Blues

Numero 20! 1! 18! 3! Attaquez!

It's been a whirlwind week.After staying idle doing watever I could lay my hands on for the holidays,I'm back again.Yeah..back to the heckish ride in this place called Kuala Lumpur.

What's worse,after a week of being here,I find myself once again in a place best forgotten which I knew I have to come to eventually but not before much delay.But as everything in life goes,one can never assume one's plans to go smoothly without even getting a bump here and there.Maybe the road could even be tarred anew completely,a road totally different from what one envisioned before,even with new landscapes for the eyes to lay hold on.

It is easy to get into a state of delirium with all that and one might think "why did I never know of this before?" Of course,to know is such a powerful word,and it is plain ignorance for anyone to lay claim on knowing when what one assumed that he/she knows is truly just the most minute of either observation and experimentation or both of the subject in hand.So now,with all that in mind,let me try to muster as much stupidity as I could bear now before exclaiming aloud in my heart.. "WAT THE HECK AM I DOING HERE IN TARC??!"

Location :Tunku Abdul Rahman College
Objective:To get the original certificate for my A-levels results which are required to be photocopied no no the people in PTPTN will not accept the photostated result slip which were given by the college months earlier to ease our burdens with the red-tape involved in everything that has to do with anchoring our behinds firmly on the course of our choice.

Emm next time just read the part which is highlighted in purple.I'm gonna implement that purple highlight thingy starting from now to save people from the trouble of having to sift through my posts to find any concrete meaning or reason behind it.

Counting Days

Well I must say I'm really surprised.Finally managed to get this screen loaded somehow.I kinda hate repeating myself..but there is clearly something wrong with the Internet,or my connection at least.Well..anyway...monopoly is a real pain,bugger.

My university days are about to start soon.Next Monday to be exact.So it was nice to have my brain whacked into sugarcane pulp to commemorate the days before I'm off.What better way to do that than by having some close friends over for the night?Had Samuel and Jian Yao over my house here on Sunday supposedly to watch the Euro Finals.Ended up I slept right through it.I can't imagine how Samuel could get up since he only slept for 2 hours the night before.It really was a tiring day.At least for now the Old Folk's Home thing is done with and it will be quite some time before I can get involved with it again since my studies are about to be continued.Anyway here's one of the many pictures Samuel the cameraman took for the event.Thanks for the help man :)

Its nice to have my friends over for the night.Kinda reminds me about..my old hostel days?Only that now its in my house.And of course its less..open?It was real funny to see Samuel's gushing over my guitar.And Jian Yao..just being himself HAHA :D We had lots of laughs as usual.

After sending Jian Yao home the next day in the morning,its time to get down to some serious business.Its time for some button mashing!Tried Naruto but something's wrong with the DVD..however all hope is not lost.For I crossed eyes with a certain masked guy in white in the box where I kept the games..and everything to do with it was suddenly conjured up in my mind.Images floated into my thoughts at an increasingly fast pace and voila!I AM YOUR FATHER!!! thus came the phrase knocking into my head at the highest speed possible! .............................umm sorry uh there was a certain anomaly in..well..uh I guess my mental sub-conscience which kinda disarrayed my brain for a while and no..certainly I didn't shout that out..Anyway I agree that that must be one of the dumbest phrases one has ever heard in a movie.I won't elaborate on the details.


Yes you guessed it right!Its Star Wars!Samuel and I hopped into our seats.And then came the mindless action!It was his first time playing it and my second time.So there were some minor accidents initially..well..it just involves shooting the backs of our comrades and running around aimlessly and then getting shot at and then getting bombed to smithereens.Umm..maybe its not too minor after all.Anyway Samuel had the misfortune of rolling down a chasm.And I,too excited at the notion of being able to play a Jedi halfway through a mission,double-jumped with glee only to fall into a black abyss.Out it came blaring on the screen 'Ku-bla-bla has fled the battlefield'.Thanks for the reminder.You can stop reminding me now.

I guess we must look like this to anyone who might pass by us while we were playing.


Well..I will surely miss these days.Kay till next time.That is,if I manage to click 'Add Post' without hanging..

Fulamakatak!!!!! @o@

I was just looking around at some pictures when I stumbled upon this online.This picture made my day.Whoever owns it is indeed a really really really really fortunate person.Heck I would throw materialism out of the window and then jump after if I could have this.Hehe.

Imagine..having this beautiful guitar snuggling against your body with its sleek contours and lying on top of your upper thigh with those smooth curves.Man..I hate sounding like a guitar-phile.To me guitars shouldn't be confined to he/shes.It is at an entirely different plane and dimension.It is the embodiment of the hahihehu and it transcends borders,directly linking to the spirit of everything God made.Okaay I'll go wash my face first.

What's most important is..I'm really excited about how will it sound.Equally important is the feel.Though I must admit that my current thoughts about it is seriously biased based on the look of the guitar itself.Look at the finishing!Monterey Pop!Woweeeee!!!

Okaaay I guess I better stop before I go nuts.Can't help imagining myself plucking a single string though.Ahh..I could have done that for the whole day.Imagine the effortlessness of plucking it,the creaminess of the tone!Oh the slight twang!Maple fretboard oh I wana eat apples!!!

(Jason has to be dragged away to the shower and then be given some grub to eat before he ends up being ambulanced to Tanjung Rambutan which is conveniently quite near by the way)

3am

Lately,I frequently find myself to be in a pensive mood.And I can see the way its affecting my blog my posts seem to get more and more out of hand,whether in themes,delivery,anything else..its kinda in a disarray.I quess I can't help thinking and reminiscing about past events as the days fly past me.University life is about to start soon for me,and when it starts,I'd have my hands full juggling about my daily happenings then.I think that's why all the things which has happened to me so far kept leaping up and down my mind.Well I'm not sure how others react and think in this situation but for myself,I feel that it is a natural reaction when these things keep coming back at me.Through all these things,I can have something to hold on to and ponder upon,and most importantly,it marks and carves my identity out of everyone and everything else.Memories.Bonds.Chains.Sharing.Cause and effect.Ripples in a puddle.Lo a car is coming I hope you brought your umbrella with you.

Anyway this song is what's in my mind now.

Carpenters-Yesterday Once More


Well that wraps things up.Gnite to me.

Beauty Frozen In Time

There are always thoughts and ideas springing forth from each and every person.Romantic notions aside,I find it really illogical to deny that.Opinions vary and develop as one matures,as I have observed myself doing so in my thoughts about photography.


Many many years ago,I used to think that photographs pale in comparison compared to pieces which are drawn,printed,and sculpted by hand,just to name a few.I reasoned back then without even having the slightest idea of my own naivety,how can an image produced simply by the touch of a button which eventually will just be confined in a rigid 4-sided thing be able to project any sense of 'artiness'?


Well I must admit even now I am clueless about why some artists and art-admirers can be so enthusiastic about certain pieces of art.But what I do know for myself is there are some things which are able to evoke a sense of awe,wonder and a myriad of emotions within me when I chance my eyes upon some of the things I see now.Not excluding photographs of course, haha.Well I really must get myself a camera when I have the chance in the future!

Again..Haha

There really must be something wrong in my head to be able to get this song in my head all of a sudden.First heard about it while watching Mr Stain on Junk Alley.Definitely not in the same league as that God-forsaken Crazy Frog.Quirky and funny.Hear it for yourself it's not that bad :)

Halcali-Tandem

Dazed and Confused

Sleeping,dreaming and staying sane doesn't really mesh well together while one is having one or more of the following ailments:fever,sore throat,cold.Well actually one could omit the 'staying sane' part since how does one even know if one is level-headed enough to judge how sane one is at the moment when there is a need to judge whether one is sane or not?I became one for the subject at matter two nights ago so yeah I could pretty much say..it's a pretty darned jumbled up mess to even bother thinking about in the first place.But watever I'll just try to remember as much as I could.I gotta write a post anyway.

Imagine lying on bed at night with an incredible heaviness pressing against your body.Top that off with one of those Acme(how do u do that trademark sign) anvils you see in those cartoons already on your head.Imagine they are even some cannibals dancing around two smoking-hot cauldrons that suspiciously looks very much like enlarged version of your eyes.Who knows why they are dancing maybe they are just expressing their joy of having created mushroom soup.It doesn't matter anyway.There are some needles jutting out from your pillow and they happen to poke your neck right now.No don't blame the needle what else could needles do in that position?Give you acupuncture?

Well anyway those were just exaggerated examples.It's really a normal thing to experience unpleasantness whenever one is not feeling well.Anyway the thing which made me curious is.. why does one can feel like one is not really sleeping when one is dreaming so much while one is sick?feeling that you don't really care whether you sleep or not you just want to lie on the bed and roll on it and wait no wait let me rephrase that you just want to lie on the bed and roll on it and delay wait isn't that just a simile of wait let's just drop that you think that you just want to lie on the bed and roll on it yeah it will help shorten the time it takes for your mind to reach the state of mind where it will shut down and you will be able to let your body rest after all your body deserves a rest doesn't it it is feeling unwell after all but why does it deserve a rest I just said it it will help shorten the time it takes for your mind to reach the state of mind that you just want to lie on the bed and roll on it and wait

Anyway it's good to be sick once in a while.Its like a reset for our body system in a way.And in my opinion there is a good reason why God muddles up the mind of whoever has some sort of fever.When all of one's bodily-functions are firing at full cylinders thus raising the heat in one's body above normal,I think it takes a dumb person to simmer down the heat a bit.The following are excerpts of what I dreamt,felt and thought about repeatedly that night.

-Scoring some kinda thing which I don't know myself everytime I roll over the bed in a certain
way.
-Getting out of a government facility by rolling down an inclined forest(why didn't I hit any
trees?)
-Dream the perfect dream.Did this only once.I acquired the white circle!(Don't ask me why it's a perfect dream.To
me at that moment,it was perfect for no apparent reason.I even woke up in a cold sweat
convincing myself while breathing as slowly and relaxed as I could that I am in control and no
other colour will be able to take away the perfect white circle away from me.At that moment I
believed if I breathed any faster my white circle will turn into a cornucopia of colours which at that moment is bad for some apparent reason.Its kinda disappointing knowing now that it is ridiculous and my heart actually raced for no apparent reason -_-")

In the end I gotta agree that the feeling of knowing I actually get to sleep so much is good :)

Posting for the sake of posting

Argh it's been a reaally long while since I've posted.No chance to do so..even when I have so much nonsense in my head for the past few weeks..hope I can continue to do so in the near future...Kay got to go~

Animal Farm

I've finally read the much touted about Animal Farm.After hearing about this book a couple of years ago from my godbrother,it has always been in the back of my mind to look for the book whenever I'm in bookstores.No luck until finding it while I was in Penang yesterday in the Popular branch in Gurney Plaza.And wat the heck it's exorbitantly overpriced at over RM40 for a book which has less than a hundred pages..plain robbery!Nway I'm determined to find it online after that and yeah I'm glad I've found it free to read online.Here's the link http://www.readprint.com/work-1250/George-Orwell


I must say its this short novel by George Orwell is a really good work.Its some sort of a satirical allegory of things to do with the Soviet Union.Before,I know next to nothing bout communism except what we learn about in the Sejarah textbooks and the stuff we are exposed to in popular media.The book really highlights the issues,struggles and problems within communism itself.What seems to be a noble ideology in the beginning which is shared by everyone in society in the beginning is manipulated and twisted later by dirty,corrupted,self-serving individuals.It really made me feel kinda sad and I found myself getting angrier with some of its characters as I read on.And no there's no happy ending for this story as you all know..

Nice Trip

Well I'm in Sungai Siput tonight.It figures right,if it wasn't for that I won't be able to postlah haha.My dad went for a talk at G Hotel in Penang early this morning so I tagged along.Though my mum and me got robbed by the hawkers for breakfast..it's pretty much a nice day.Compensations rebound.Got to laze in the lobby of a nice hotel.Got to eat at Chili's for the first time.Got a nice book.And yeah..I got to eat at my aunt's shop in Butterworth!It must be the biggest economy rice restaurant in Malaysia.If I'm not mistaken there are 50 dishes for one to choose from!!And what's more it's very tasty and the price was okay for the quality of the food.I don't exactly know how my aunt does the pricing.Based on what I heard while standing nearby,most of the figures were below RM4 for 4 dishes.Anyway..seeing the many customers in my aunt's shop compared to the one with nobody next door is enough to put an end to this line of conversation.

By the way,I've found this nice video clip.Kinda sums up my feelings now in a way..HAHA.Enjoy.

Stealers Wheel-Stuck In the Middle With You

Crazy Calamities..

Very recently,2 really devastating natural disasters occured to our neighbouring Asians..with Myanmar being struck by Cyclone Nargis which apparently caused the deadliest natural disaster ever in the recorded history of Myanmar..and just 10 days later,a 7.9 Ritcher-scaled earthquake rocked China,where crippling blizzards just occured earlier this year.

We are indeed blessed to live in Malaysia where we are protected from most of these calamities except the freak tsunami which occured during boxing day 2004.Even then the many casualties and damage of property we experienced during that time are statistically considered little if compared to the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives in other parts of the world.I'm not belittling any of the loss and pain experienced by those who are directly affected by the tsunami which hit our country unexpectedly..there must be a lot of untold grief and suffering to all those who are involved and I really respect those who could still get on with their lives despite their loss.What I'm trying to convey is we should appreciate the fact that we are spared from what could potentially be disasters at a much larger scale that could affect even greater numbers of people.

Amidst the tonnes of rubble in Myanmar and China,I really hope that many more people are still alive and could be extricated in time..time is very short indeed for these people..Since I'm not in a real position to help out or what same for most of you people too I think..I hope it is not too much to ask that everyone spares a bit of their time to pray or just spare a thought for the victims,their loved ones,the rescuers,and all those who are involved in both of these tragedies.Here's one for the human spirit!

Doh

Man I really missed my chance to go online finally got to go online after some time and finally I've managed to post a new post without drafts yeah I think the ninja passed my thumbdrive over to Ironman when the guy was testing his new suit so I really hoped it didn't get burned into smithereens in the stratosphere or whatever anyway I really gota sleep early so yeah doh I really gotta continue hitting the bricks like what I did since yesterday slept for more than..16 hours?Agh I used a punctuation mark..I'm already out of breath,so everyone do drink lots of liquids during this dry season!

P.S. There is really no meaning for this post..

Sugar-Coated-Frosted Bombs,anyone?

I've always enjoyed reading comics since young.It is one of those few pastimes one does when one is still a kid and still can enjoy doing when one has grown up age-wise.Note that I said age-wise since yeah people can be getting grey hair stuff like that but nothing can prevent someone from having a young heart and all too often disregard common sense for a little fun eh?Well anyway I feel comics are timeless the way books are for many and the way toys are for most children.It is one of the sort of escapism one rarely experiences in which we surrender ourselves wholly to our imagination and just shape things up in our mind freely as they pop up in our world without any restrictions.Well,actually I remember vaguely that toys are the best for that sort of excitement.But then again it is sort of a compensation that although we have more numbers in our years,we still can enjoy in things like comics,books,musics for example and many other forms of art in order to remind us of that sublime,magical feeling we had when we were still children and are overly curious and inquisitive in everything we saw,felt,touched,heard,and imagined in those irreplaceble days.

Well anyway since my holidays started I've been sticking my nose into some stuff and one of it was Calvin and Hobbes.Well actually I've been following the series daily in the newspapers but to get the whole thing downloaded?Nice.

I like the whole thing.It really reminds me of alot of idiotic things that one as a child can identify with,yet it's not necessary to experience it in order to understand it.I really respect the artist behind this comic strip,Bill Watterson.He managed to capture that fleeting moment of..well I don't know how to phrase it..maybe childishness and naivete?And by peppering in some of his life experiences and philosophy here and there,some parts in the comic becomes a reminder to some of the simpler things in life we occasionaly forget.

It just seems perfect.Calvin is a creative,intelligent,nefarious,scheming kid with an amazingly wide vocabulary.Yet,he's just a little kid and kids will be kids being sweet at very very rare instances.Hobbes is his stuffed tiger who's living purely due to Calvin's imagination and offers a contrast to Calvin with his common sense,while during other times he'll just be sleeping or pouncing at Calvin and just playing around like nuts with his best friend.I referred to Hobbes as his since he is all too human,and it's just nice to see both of them do crazy stuff together.

There are many other memorable characters in the comic strip too,like Mom and Dad,Susie,Rosalyn,Mrs Wormwood,Moe the Bully and others and they all add to the dimension of Calvin's world greatly.It is unthinkable to have just Calvin and Hobbes scurrying around in Calvin's own train of thought without these characters since the addition of these supporting characters adds a bit of a realism and gives the comic strip a taste of modern day living by incorporating some of its elements into it.Moreover they certainly prove their important role at times by becoming subjects in clarifying some of the many poignant remarks and observations the artist weaves into his creation.

Well I guess that's enough for this topic haha.Hopefully it manages to make do for my past week of not blogging hehe :P Anyway though the comic strip has stopped its run now,I'm sure many more people will continue to rediscover the magic of the world of Calvin and Hobbes :)

Here and Away Again

Hallo.I've just managed to log in after quite some time.Regretabbly I can't post as much as I wanted to.I think I'll try to write something using the computer at home then save it in the thumbdrive to bring it up here to be posted.Well actually I'd thought about that for some time but well you know..I guess a ninja infiltrated my house and hid it in a hidden stash rigged with heat-sensitive traps like giant shurikens and unmanned flying nunchucks somewhere in my house..so i need some time to look this matter up.Nway to doug and TJ here's a little something to you before I sign out.

What's a cow and some bottles doing there?Well you know they have a lot of cows in New Zealand.Well at least that's one of the stereotypes people have of New Zealand.With plenty of cows there should be a lot of cow dung there with highly untapped commercial value,right?So I think it would be nice if there's cow dung flavouring.Don't you think so?So I'll leave the honour of testing out the first batch of cow dung flavouring specially prepared by me for you guys.Do tell me about it next time!No don't thank me really. XD

P.S :Sorry to any cows or New Zealanders who find this post offensive.

Zaniness of the Online World

The Internet sure is incomprehensible.It might be one of those things humans should ponder upon like 'what is life' and all that crap.Sorry if I don't sound really clear.Another example about the sort of thing I'm talking about is like what Einstein said,"the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible".Yeah nonsense like that which makes smart alecs say 'Oh yeah yeah I know that!" while others who either understand it or don't will just nod it off sheepishly or dig their nose for whatever reasons.Whatever it is I really think it is quite safe to say that half if not most of the Internet is full of crazy dumb stuff.Plenty of forums,all kinds of comments from all sorts of people,whether they are wearing yet another mask online is an entirely different question.The thing in question is kinda overwhelming..argh I can't even put what im feeling now into words..well err I think the conclusion from me for now is let's just observe the Internet,as in everything in life.I feel whenever one is in doubt..it's best to just zip up and observe.Oh try not to let off some gas too in case you ate too many potatoes.

Here's a video I found in youtube yet again.

That's the World of Warcraft That You Play!

What The Heck?!

I've been caught off guard..again.I feel it's very corny and very dumb but yeah I can understand what's being sung by the guy HAHA XD

Relaxing

Well I really have so little time to blog now haha..bro's back and using the laptop.Well actually its more like im lazy today hehe.Nway here's something worth listening.I bet everyone must have at least a bit of notion what this song is.It sounded very familiar to me too when I heard it in my friend's laptop.Apparently it's a song from Secret Garden.I have nothing to do with the message it seems to impart.Seems kinda thought-provoking though at this moment it had no impact on me whatsoever.But I must agree that the scenes are really nice and beautiful haha.Well here it is enjoy.

Secret Garden-Song from a Secret Garden

4th Anniversary

Well today is an important day.And no it has nothing to do with anyone of the opposite gender if the title suggests so,regrettably haha.And of course there's nobody whom is close to me who passed away on that day.Rather,it was just one of the things which has happened in my life which I will never forget.That day was the birth of a beautiful friendship.

Honestly,I've just realized it around 2 days ago.I was just doing nothing at that moment when suddenly,a thought crossed my mind.Seriously..I got goosebumps when it dawned upon my mind.I mean..could it really be?Immediately I ran upstairs and i opened up the case.Yeah,the receipt clearly shows that it was close.On the day after tomorrow,on the 17th April 2004.It was the day when my electric guitar,not forgetting the amplifier came into my hands.

The night before I went with my family to the music shop in JJ just to check things out.My dad said it's allright don't rush it we can still head over to KL tomorrow.I remember that morning,the whole gang of us got our behinds anchored onto the innards of my dad's old volvo.We were headed towards KL.My dad's driving,with my godfather seated in front,while the rest of us comprising my bro,my godbrother n I got seated at the back,naturally.And I got myself sandwiched in the middle..the most horrible seat one can get in a car,especially someone who is around my height or taller still.I really cannot comprehend how back in the old days,my bro and I used to bicker over who gets the back middle seat.Ah I've just remembered.It was because of the air-cond haha.

Nway,we just barraged our way through the crazy roads in Kl and its good that we arrived at Bentley without more than 2 hours delay.Man this shop is huge!So many Fenders and Ibanezs.The price tags doesn't help.Prior to the trip,my bro and I agreed with our dad that we would spend less than RM1000 each for our choice.So at that moment all I wanted is a below range Ibanez.I was confused why my godfather and godbrother always looked at me with a kind of look whenever I tested Ibanezs.They said its your choice,choose your own guitar,feel it yourself but of course I took their opinion in mind when they don't seem to like the tone of the low-range Ibanezs i tried.

Later on we went to Woh Fatt somewhere around Jalan Imbi.The shop was filled with Gibsons.At that time I didn't realize why my godfather and godbro can just chatter about it with so much enthusiasm.Like the Fenders.Nway the price tags here made my eyes bulge out even more..So I was just scurrying through running my eyes all over without any expectations of owning any.Again I was asked not to worry and tried a guitar or two.Haha my test songs for this trip were always Megalomaniac and One Last Breath.Kinda funny thinking about it now.I must have played Megalomaniac horribly that time haha.

We then went to Bangsar.KL really feels so big for me at that time.And I remember feeling very bored with all this travelling around.We stopped somewhere near a The Ship outlet where theres a guitar store.In it we saw a nice guitar.It was an Epiphone Les Paul,coloured in brown sunburst.It even has a tremolo bar!My godfather was all for it due to the tremolo bar while my godbro thinks its good but as it will be my guitar I should choose one without any defects.There's no pickguard but my godbro liked that haha.What he didn't fancy were the scratches.Woah it didn't even fell onto my line of sight!Nway we left another guitar store yet again without a guitar in hand.

The next stop is just an ordinary music shop selling mostly pianos with those standard below-range Ibanezs and Squiers one can find in any music store.Left that place in less than 10 minutes.And then we were headed back to Ipoh.My bro decided not to buy any guitars for himself.At this point I kinda felt that all these effort we did are futile.It's good that I was reminded by my godbro that all these will give me the kind of experience and knowledge much needed in every good guitar player who knows his/her stuff.

We went back to the store in JJ.And I saw that there was this guy seated there,trying out a really beautiful electric guitar.That is the Les Paul we saw earlier!With a totally different look to it.It has a cherry sunburst colour and a really cool pickguard.There's no tremolo,but it really looked nice.Waited for the guy to finish with it,then I had a run-thru with it.This time i even played Apache haha.And though i didn't know the difference in tone at that time,this guitar really feels good to me.I liked it.

The price was again high though.It costs Rm1900.Of courselah,I thought dejectedly,it's a great guitar wert.Nway my dad asked whether I liked it or not.I said yeah.What about the amp?Err yeah but its so big.And it costs Rm1800..Then my dad simply paid for both of it.I was ecstatic and I was so happy.I'm grateful to have such wonderful parents and I really appreciate his way of showing me that he loves me.And yeah I'm really thankful for my godfather n godbro who followed us the whole day literally and it really is a plus that they know the owner of the JJ guitar store so my dad got a 10% discount!

Haha this post is extremely long.Must be kinda boring.Well I brought the guitar here with me today.It really is great but well that's another story.Argh im itching to play so til then!

Me with the guitar 4 years ago(no camera to take a new photo..)

Uber cool

Well I've just finished playing Reservoir Dogs on the ps2 recently..and I have to say it is really pretty cool.Though i've never watched the movie before,the game really got me hooked into this umm..franchise??Haha nway I love the music and the straight-no-holds-barred kind of witty dialogue.I feel it is a tad violent and brash..no make that ten-folds or whatever it is you like.But come on it's Quentin Tarantino.Guys should watch this heck of a movie depicting a heist gone wrong in..what can i say..shittiest sense?Haha that seems so much more milder than the real thing.Nway enjoy this video i've 'curi'ed from youtube.

George Baker Selection-Little Green Bag

Announcement

I'm not sure where my bro got those 3 photos i posted earlier,it was saved in his pictures folder.So just in case,i'd like to give acknowledgements to whoever it was who first changed the photos to the state it was in when i 1st saw it.Its just too bad i don't even have a digital camera to call my own..so i'm really sorry for the lazy job i did by just plagiarising somebody else's photo content.

And regrettably i can't post that often since I don't have a broadband connection at home,i'm still using dial-up..seems like those telcos are purposely making it heck for us dial-up users..well if im wrong I apologize but for me at least it takes forever just to get connected..about..20 or so freecell games usually haha.

Hope there'll be less monopoly in the future-lah.Oh and i hope KL gets inducted into the upcoming Monopoly World edition voting is over by now..

Dumbstruck by 300 Spartan Soldiers

Don't get me wrong.I've watched 300 and i think its quite a nice movie.Well actually I was watching it while my friends were scene-hopping the movie since they've already finished watching it earlier,but still..yeah i really think it is an allright movie.

Until my brother showed me these.

At that time I was still abit nonchalant about it.Up til the day i finally watched Meet the Spartans,which again my brother introduced to me.

WAT THE HECK?!

I was completely blown away.Its not that its incredibly imaginative and original.It was just plain cheap slapstick nonsense with non-existing common sense.There is nary an iota of intelligence behind the movie.Instead it was just served for an audience whos jump into the ride hoping to get their brains smashed into a pulp.Low in DHA juice.

I will never forget.

Men of valour skipping to battle.

Men of iron with painted abs.

Men of extraordinary sense of duty to their homeland sipping coffee bean and beer before battle.

And the ultimate question:How many people can one kick into a well before it gets overcrowded?

Whatever it is I liked it :)

Longest Time Spent Online

Its crazy..today's the first time i've spent online for this long.Many thanks to my uncle who left the router open for me to get his line.And many thanks to my brother who allowed me to use his laptop(I only asked for permission after using it haha).Nway its midnight now..and i've just listened to this great song.It has been in my mind every night for weeks if not months lol.So here it is.

Bread-If

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't i paint you?
The words will never show,
the you i've come to know.

If a face can launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all thats left me too.

And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man can be two places at one time i'll be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die.
I'd spend the end with you,
And when the world was through..

Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away.

Of War and Rock Music Through the Times

Iron Maiden-The Trooper


There goes sumkinda battle..maybe somewhere between the age when gunpowder was used or maybe during the age of enlightenment.

Guns N Roses-Civil War


Another 1..obviously it depicts the civil war which occured in the USA during 1861–1865.What a coincidence that it ended on this very day.Eh no..why's there Tom Hanks in it??!!This ain't supposed to be Forrest Gump or World War II!!

Green Day-American Idiot


And nowww we have this which revolves around the events after September 11,the war in Iraq stuff like that.What another crazy coincidence i just knew Iraq fell to American troops on this very day too!

Nway in case you're wondering,rest assured I won't go elaborating bout all the bla blu ble blu bout war n such.Instead,look at the videos and the rock bands behind it.All have something to say bout war.But what's great is whether it is for mustering up battle spirit or telling about the cons of war..rock music does it great.

Yeah rock is so damn cool.So always use batu when u play rock,paper and scissors.Even if you lose the round,what matters is you won't go down without first putting up a tough fight.And don't forget that your spirit won't yield to failure no matter what happens.So let's all hear what the old man says and chant the warrior's prayer!(P.S. this posting is just an excuse for putting up the first 2 videos obviously)

Somebody Else's Problem

The world is getting crazier by the minute.I know that sounds cliched but in a way it's a fact by now.Just the other day i remember reading in the papers that there was this dude who got beaten up by a gang of youths for fun..pointed out by the way they just continued jaywalking laughing the whole incident off.One might think "Yeah well that happens all the time bla bla" but let me reiterate that this incident happened in a public area,in broad daylight..it was around noon,and it happened at a bus stop when there are many people around.If that still doesn't make one bat an eyelid..it just shows how full of apathy and selfishness many if not all of our society has become..it's already sad enough with the sordid state of affairs all around the world nowadays..it's much worse when the peoples who are the cornerstones where a nation hinges on collapse under the pressure of those who are wanton on creating disharmony among society..

Sure..one might think it's just somebody else's problem..why should i care and cause unnecessary trouble on myself on behalf of another person whom i seemingly have not even had a single second of acquaintance with??I'm not here to say that i'm in any way holier than thou or not.Frankly if I was in that situation i think i'll just get stunned and not be able to move a single muscle to do anything at all since i'll be way too confused and terrified like nuts.However,what i do want to point out is..we do not know when or where things like this might happen.It might happen right now or the day after tomorrow.It might happen to someone who is close to you.. so IMHO one should seriously think over these things..because who knows?It could just happen to me myself or you yourself one day..and it could be that nobody will come to our rescue.

On a lighter note,let me share with you something i read from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' regarding S.E.P.s .'An S.E.P.,is something that we can't see,or don't see,or our brain doesn't let us see,because we think that it's somebody else's problem.That's what S.E.P. means.Somebody Else's Problem.The brain just edits it out;it's like a blind spot.If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is.Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.'

It's funny yeah.But there is a profound meaning to it if you look at it with a different perspective.
I rest my case.

Intro

I can't believe i'm doing this now..how did it ever occur to someone like me to even contemplate or even thought of starting a blog??but then again things happen for a reason..though all these things r still kinda fuzzy to me now..hopefully i'll get the answer in due time heh.nway i'm new at this so any tips or feedback are much appreciated :D
