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! :)

Try this quiz.Remember to think out of the box! :D

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..

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.

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.

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..
