It's been quite a while since I last double-post in one day, but it's Valentine's Day Eve, so what the heck.
I have been pretty much unattached for like, my entire life, and it is honestly true that I do not understand all the hype of Valentine's Day, nor the importance of having a girl/boy friend. So what actually makes Valentine so special compared to the other 364 days in a year? Celebration of love? Don't you do that for your anniversaries for the first time you met, or your first kiss, or the first time you held his/her hand, first time you make passionate love, or whatever other imaginable or celebratable (okay, this word doesn't exist, but I like it) events. Heck, forgive me for my naive thoughts, but I will never get it. Not for the time being, at least.
Before taking a poke at me, do consider first what is happening around us. I've seen friends get together only to break because they understand each other too well. Primary school sweethearts changed hearts because she can't stand long-distance relationship, despite being together for as long as I can remember. People don't mean it when they say 'till death do us part'. Oh man, no more romantic mushy wushy chessy lines please.
Anyway, after my supper with Wui En last night, he sent a message to me which says,'hope u get a gf by monday la haha, SSS (name withheld to avoid gossips) gd ma, stil available'. Sigh, when are people gonna learn that all nice girls are already taken? But still, thanks to SSS for being so considerate and save me from other gossips linking me with so many others. Don't get me wrong, it's nice when people hope I get attached, it's just that I don't feel like doing so with this state of mind of mine. Don't worry, I'm still straight though. And I surely won't mind if you guys wanna introduce some hot friends of yours to me. *smirks*
So my dear friends, have a wonderful Valentine's celebration and forget what I said, because you know when I'm on my day, everything I said are crap!

singing the blues
Man, I couldn't believe the scoreline I saw when I came back after a drink with Wui En.
BIRMINGHAM CITY 2-0 LIVERPOOL
This so damn sucks. They're officially the third team who did the double against Liverpool (the other two are Man Utd and Chelsea) this season.
It has been bugging me for months that Everton are sitting comfortably above Liverpool. I hate this. I've never thought such things can happen in my lifetime. Man Utd? Fine. Arsenal? No problem. Chelsea? They can drown you in a sea of banknotes. But bluenose Everton? Never. Never ever ever ever (x3,000,000). Everton is the second team in Merseyside. They play second fiddle to Liverpool and that's all they do.
It really saddens me when I look at the table now. But mediocre results from mediocre players are pretty expectable, isn't it? Hyppia's too slow, Pellegrino's too old, Nunez can't dribble, Hamann's lost it, Baros can't keep it, Morientes takes forever to get back his fitness, Traore can't concentrate, Dudek has butter fingers, Josemi's clumsy, Biscan's not Premiership quality, Gerrard's not interested, Kewell, Cisse, Kirkland, Alonso, and Pongolle are out for months.
At times like these, I really hope Benitez would just throw some youngsters into the fray and hope they produce some excellent displays to show what it really is playing for LFC. It's about playing for pride, not wages.
Hope Liverpool will finish 4th above Everton. And get rid of players who aren't interested to don the famous red jersey.

now this is what i call a good movie
'Seoul Raiders'. Yup, this is the movie to watch this CNY. Well, at least it's the best I've seen so far (the other being the overated 'Himalaya Singh').
Actually, I enjoyed watching it because I've always liked Tony Leung's acting, especially when he's in his witty sarcasm and comical roles. He always seems to be able to pull off the funny one-line jokes and yet look seriously cool. Great actor, really.
Not really a fan of Shu Qi, so no comment there. I don't like watching movies where people try too hard to speak a language they can't speak in (which includes Richie Jen and the three hot assistants of Tony's). I personally enjoyed Richie Jen's previous movies but this is clearly not his genre. But I guess his acting was not bad.
And the three assistants are pretty hot, ;) especially the one who's always wearing the short skirt (not the reason I think she's hot).
If I'm a movie reviewer (how I wish I am), I'll give 'Seoul Raiders' somewhere around A- and B+ (plus point: goodlooking cast, witty jokes; low point: Shu Qi and Richie Jen's poor fluency in Cantonese), which is way above 'Himalaya Singh' (a big F--).

himalaya my foot!
Argghhhh!!! How can I watch such movie?!! It's disastrous!!! I can't believe I stayed in the cinema for the whole 1 and a half hours!!!
To cut the long story short, we actually booked tickets for 'Seoul Raiders', only to reach there and found out the price is RM16 per ticket because it's premiere class. We were not willing to fork out so much just for a movie, so we decided to watch something else instead.
The next option was actually 'Constantine', which sounded like a good movie. But Kam Fei didn't want to sit in the third row from the screen, so we ended up watching 'Himalaya Singh'.
Let's just say the movie sucked big time, and the only thing worth watching is, wait... there are nothing worth watching. I'd rather watch a snail crawling up the wall than this movie if I knew it was this bad, with a capital B.
Stupid plot, stupid casts, stupid director, stupid script, stupid animations, stupid jokes, stupid stupid.
I vote 'Himalaya Singh' for 2005's Razzberry. Total crap.
Oh, by the way, Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

Congratulations
Originally I didn't thought of blogging today cuz I'm kinda in a busy mode. But this is definitely worth talking about.
I was surfing the net searching for some journals for my research assignment when an old friend of mine messaged me thru the msn. Naturally, I was a little surprised, considering the fact that he rarely sends messages.
So there we were, chatting for a while before he said this,"got something to update u". I instantly knew he was going to tell me he has got a girlfriend (I don't know why, but every friend of mine who said this sentence always refer to the fact that he has left the bachelor alliation). It is a great news, I never thought he would finally get a girlfriend, hahaha... The hell, I was the first among his 'older batch' of friends who got to know it first. That's a bit to be proud of, although he made me swear to keep it a secret from the rest of the gang. So, sorry guys, can't tell ya who it is. You'll have to wait for him to tell you himself.
Come to think of it, there aren't many of us in my circle of friends who are left unwanted, me being the most obvious one. Luckily there are still losers like Seow and Ah Si to accompany me, or else come Valentine's I will again be tossed aside without any mates, hahaha. This is terribly pathetic. (I hope I won't be the last among us to get a girlfriend) Sigh, it's gonna be another lonely lonely Valentine's day for me.
Anyway, today's post is not about me. It's about my anonymous friend who has finally moved out from the bachelor gang of ours. So CONGRATULATIONS to you! May your most beautiful days be ahead of you.

One week break for Chinese New Year is not enough. Okay, not really 1 week break, still have class on Tuesday.

today...
I don't know why, but after having lived without the internet for so long, I don't seem to find it interesting surfing the net anymore. I can't figure out what to do online, besides doing my researches for my assignments.
Spent the entire day (after lecture) with my relatives at 1Utama shopping for clothes. And it sucks. My legs are aching now. And they made me spent a fortune on my new year clothes. I spent about RM500 on 2 docker pants, a shirt and a pair of football boots. The prices are crazy I'm telling you. Never ever buy regularly at dockers! I was forced to get 2 pairs of pants cuz I haven't bought any new pants for more than 4 years, so this can be considered another long term investment.
But the boots! That's classic. I bought a pair of Adidas football boots for a discounted price of RM59! Red, silver and cool, although it's not really a new design, but I think I got a great deal. It's about time, since my old pair is beginning to tear. This new pair is destined to come to me! Can't wait to kick some ass... I mean, ball, with the new boots of mine.
Thinking of getting a new wallet. Mine's pretty 'teen-age' and not really suitable for my age. But the blood-spilling outing I had today made me think twice before buying one now.

Blogging from home, finally...
Bwahahahaha, miss me? It's great to finally have internet connection at home. Although I am kinda proud to say I managed to survive almost 3 months without, despite real difficulties doing my assignments and researches. But despair no more, I'll be here for a very very long time, muahahahaha...
Went to my former college's reunion dinner last night (we do that about a week before the real reunion dinner every year, just so that everyone can have a get-together activity). The food okay, at least it's better than last year's. Pretty fun too throughout the night. Too bad the turnout wasn't that ideal. Only about 100 came, and about half of them seniors (even though there's about 200 juniors this year). I don't really know what's really happening in the college, but glad I am no longer a part of it and I don't have to worry about the waning spirit of 'togetherness' among them, like what we had last time. Several notable outstanding juniors, I must say, and I honestly hope they will remain in college next semester to guide the new freshmen.
I don't need to blog long, I can blog often now.Therefore, I am leaving you guys now, wahahaha...

The hair talk
Yes, the news has been spreading as fast as the speed of light. I have officially had a haircut. All 30cm of them. All gone.
It feels utterly weird with this new look of mine, especially since it has been years since I had a haircut this short. I tried not making a big deal out of it, but yeah, the people around can be such nuisance. Before I continue, I can assure all of you that I am still mentally stable, there's nothing too stressful happening, so there's no pressure, none of my relatives pass away, and definitely not a failed relationship. And I'm not a new kid in the block, no matter how funny you guys can make it sound. I cut my hair because I want to. That's all.
Wait. No, there are actually a few reasons I had a haircut. First of all, it's because I'll be doing my industrial training (hopefully) come March. Then there's the Chinese New Year coming up next month. Also, my hair's getting tangled up pretty often too, and I don't know how to keep it, um, untangled (whatever). And there are a couple of times where some middle-aged women walk up to me and complimented my hair. What the hell was that? I mean, no offence, but if you're a 20 year old with long straight hair, pretty big eyes with an alluring smile and drop dead gorgeous looks, complete with a miniskirt and revealing tube top I'd be happy to talk this over dinner, followed by a romantic walk in the park, ending up at my place for a cup of coffee before we hit the shack. But no, aunty, I'm not interested to start a conversation with you. Thanks for the compliment though, that's very flattering.
It's been a week and people still hasn't made enough fun of my hair yet. Honestly, that I'm okay with. The 'not okay' part? People staring at me when I'm peeing in the toilet and asked if I'd just had a haircut. Stop doing that! That is so freakingly disturbing! Just leave the hair talk outside the toilet, okay?

great save!! or was it?
I'm telling you, if there is a save of the week the award must surely go to Roy Carroll for producing the impossible save that no other human in this world world can pull off. What the hell was that? Rob Lewis was a disaster. The ball went 2 feet into the goal and he couldn't be sure? The fans sitting at the opposite at the end were yelling goal and he 'couldn't be sure'? How stupid can a pig be?
It's about time for technology to be introduced into football before it starts killing fans like me. Just last week Tiago's clearance with his hand went unpunished which resulted in a 1-0 win against Liverpool, now Man Utd salvaged a precious point thanks to the referee blunder. To hell with the FA if he wants to ban Jamie Carragher for speaking what's in his mind, I'd bark even harsher if that can get the message across. Yeah, you can ban the linesman for a month, a year, whatever, but when the points were awarded they can't take them back, can they? I say, bring the technology into football!
Rob Lewis will be among the officials in this weekend's Burnley-Liverpool FA Cup match. Let's just pray this time around he'll be blunder-free. Bummer.

Party cancelled
PM announced that all new year celebrations to be cancelled to go into mourning for the tragic tsunami incident. So we're cancelling the party.
Nope, I'm kidding. Seriously, it's gonna a get-together for some of us who haven't met for a long long time, so I don't think it's really nice to scrap the idea now. Besides, we're not even celebrating with champagne or stuff. Just a simple dinner with old friends.
But my heart is still with those who have lost loved ones last Sunday, no doubt. May the darkest days soon be over. For those of you who believe in God, may God bless you. I'm quoting this from a friend, "When God gives you an obstacle, He knows you can take it." Nicely said.

Aloha everyone...
I'm just trying to post here in my faculty's computer lab and see if it works. I won't be able to confirm though cuz I can't log into my blog, I only get access to my account.
So, it's 'that' time of the year again. New Year's Eve celebration and a party, woohoo!! Ok, I don't wanna sound all hyped up; just had a test, and there's another one tommorrow. But ditching the academical worries aside, this year we won't be doing barbeque like the previous years. I'm thinking of western food still, as in spaghetti ala carbonara, grilled chicken wings, garlic bread, coleslaw and lemon lime bitter cocktail, all which I've just learned recently! Now, let me assure you that I've tried making them before, and they don't suck. So Nic, wipe that stupid smirk off your face, okay? Dude, you should have some confident in my cooking, I've won the cooking competition before after all.
I don't think the menu's gonna fill up you bunch of monsters' stomachs, so please help figure out something that I can cook and give me a call, ok? Till then, have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Merry Christmas...
Dear Santa,
I've been a very good boy this year, so you'd better be granting my Christmas wishes this time. For this Christmas, I hope to get a streamyx line so I no longer have to come to these pathetic cybercafes to surf the net. These crazy kids (I think most of them are less than 10 years old) beside me are watching the clip of the american who was beheaded a few months back. Sick children. And people wonder why there are so much violence in our society. They are cheering with joy when the guy's head fall off. I also wish that some company will accept me for the industrial training which I have been applying for the past 6 months. Any company will do. I am pathetically desperate now and if I don't get any training I won't be able to finish my degree in time. This is one sad Christmas.
To be honest, Christmas has never been my favourite festive season. I don't know why, but I always have this lonely feeling whenever this time of the year arrives. Probably because most of my close friends will be celebrating with their loved ones (family, girlfriends, boyfriends, gay partners, lesbian lovers, you get the picture) or busy attending church services or getting mobbed in Bintang Walk or not in the country. Meanwhile, my family will always be having plans for Christmas, but somehow I'm never part of it. But I won't be having much time to dwell since I have to prepare for my midsem tests next week. Now that's something to look forward to.
Anyway, my relationship with my coursemates is getting better, fortunately. We've had a couple of football games together (it's a wonder really, to know that they actually know how to play) and agreed to make it a weekly thing. There's also talks of forming a biotech club and steamboat gatherings. Life in university is finally looking, well, alive. I'm having my fingers crossed.
So what's with the latest news in blogsphere? People I know don't seem to blog anymore, I wonder why. Really hope to hear from you guys. Keep in touch buddies.
I really got to go now, the gory video clip these kids beside me are playing makes me wanna puke.
But all those aside, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS my friends. May the new year be a wonderful one for each and everyone of you.

Probably because most of my close friends will be celebrating with their loved ones (family, girlfriends, boyfriends, gay partners, lesbian lovers, you get the picture) or busy attending church services or getting mobbed in Bintang Walk or not in the country. Meanwhile, my family will always be having plans for Christmas, but somehow I'm never part of it. But I won't be having much time to dwell since I have to prepare for my midsem tests next week. Now that's something to look forward to.
Anyway, my relationship with my coursemates is getting better, fortunately. We've had a couple of football games together (it's a wonder really, to know that they actually know how to play) and agreed to make it a weekly thing. There's also talks of forming a biotech club and steamboat gatherings. Life in university is finally looking, well, alive. I'm having my fingers crossed.
So what's with the latest news in blogsphere? People I know don't seem to blog anymore, I wonder why. Really hope to hear from you guys. Keep in touch buddies.
I really got to go now, the gory video clip these kids beside me are playing makes me wanna puke.
But all those aside, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS my friends. May the new year be a wonderful one for each and everyone of you.

back and blogging temporarily
And I'm back again. Nothing much happened in the past couple of weeks, but I guess I can crap a whole load of shit if I put in some effort. And yeah, I'm blogging in a crowdy cybercafe again.
Went to this event on Tuesday, alone, cuz my coursemates who were performing in it insisted. I reluctantly agreed (only because I am such a gentleman, and not the flirtacious bastard as rumoured) and thought it might be a great way to relax after my first test of the semester- which by the way I'm in the third week of my new sem.
It's pretty much ho-hum throughout the performance, partly because I'm not really interested in classical dances, and also because there's this forum on homosexuality going on back in my former college which I wanted to attend. No, I'm not interested in homosexuality, it's just that Baby Betty (the infamous transexual who was a former resident in the college and arguably the prettiest one around, which is kinda sad, really) was rumoured to be making a guest appearance. Anyway, the classical dance performance wasn't all that bad. I sorta like the lotus pond thing where the dancers moved as though they were on rollers, and the second part which portrays the chinese ancestors' village life. Nice touch in the dance where they performed as villagers harvesting paddy fields and how men and women fall in love in a sampan-rowing scene (I love the way they moved in synchrony like they were really on sampans). Other than that, I couldn't decipher what the choreographer was trying to express in the other lotus dances and the silk road dances. All I can see was dancers dressed up like bamboos, umbrellas and grasshoppers running across stage without purpose. Well, you can't ask a lot, right?
So back to studies, we're supposed to be making the online confirmation of our subject registration these couple of days, but the lastest mess-up in the server created havoc around campus. Those who did the confirmation online on Wednesday had their credit hours deducted for no apparent reason, and undergrads were left with 10, 8, even 6 credit hours for the semester. What a screw up. Lucky me for being in lecture halls that time, I could've been one of those victims, hahahaha... But it's not all bad news, at least a cute junior from my former college came up to me to seek help. Funny situation, because I don't even know her, and it's real flattering that she knows who I am in the first place, muahahaha... Maybe I should've asked for her name and hp number. Wait. No, I SHOULD have asked for her name and number. Damn...
Other than that, my results came out already, and I did 'somewhat well' in the last sem, but with an obvious drop in CGPA (Cumulative Grades Point Average). A GPA of 3.33, and now 3.56 in CGPA. Out from the first class (3.70 and above) now. No more sleepless nights worrying how to maintain my grades. It is good news to me if the rest of my coursemates ain't getting 4 flat (4.00 GPA), but unfortunately they do. This is insane. I am now officially the only biotech undergrad who has never been in the Dean's List, and doomed to be the only biotech class of 03/04 undergrad to NOT obtain a first class CGPA.
The only thing that makes me feel good about myself is that I'm surrounded by a bunch of pathetic schoolboys with no lives playing stupid online games in the cybercafe. These kids are so gonna mess up their futures, wahahahahaha...
And last but not least, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you. I know, it's too early, but I may not be around for the next few weeks, so what the heck.

i'm back...
Sorry for the lengthy disappearance. Funny story. I was walking home from the shop lots somewhere near my home a couple of weeks ago when suddenly there was this bright flash of light. I tried to look at the direction of the light source and it blinded me unconscious. I suppose I fainted or something, cuz the next thing I know I'm tied up in an operation table. I was really freaked out and somewhat pissed off, cuz I'm supposed to get online to register my subjects for the coming semester in these few days. It was then a couple of weird looking 'men' walked in and talked in some gibberish sound, I can't figure out the language they were interacting in. It was only when they walked closer that I noticed that they weren't human at all! Big bulging eyes, no ears, huge head, small body with three fingers on each hand. That totally scared the hell out of me. I yelled for help but to no avail. I assume I'm stucked in an alien aircraft or some crap like that. The two alien lifeforms then spoke again in their stupid language with a little french accent and then proceeded to take a brazilian knife before coming closer to me. I was so scared I gathered all my strength and amazingly, broke free from the latches of the operation table. I stood up and shouted,"With the powers of the great Panelopia, I summon thee to break loose and burn the world to hell! With the blessed curses that befall thee, rise and shine!". A red dragon with spiked back emerged from a spiral teleportal hole breathing fire and dashed towards the two bloody aliens. I can see from their big bulging eyes that they were so afraid because their eyes were filled with tears and they couldn't blink cuz they had no eyelids.
Ok, fine. I'm lying. I just moved and my new home has no phone line or streamyx, so I can't surf the net. And the computers in my faculty blocked access to dumb websites like this one, so I haven't been updating it for quite a while. I am now in a stupid cyber cafe with pathetic useless teenagers playing dumb games like ragnarok, and everyone are shouting out cusses loud because the speakers are damn noisy. Kids nowadays are hopeless.
Don't expect me to blog again anytime soon. Tata...

idiot of the day
I hate Uriah Rennie. The dumb referee who won't give a penalty when Muzzy Izzet cleared the ball off the line with his arm. He's either blind, or he thinks he's refereeing a handball match. Either way, he still has a vase for a brain. I lost count of how many clear penalties Liverpool had been denied this season. CONSPIRACY!!!

of bad role models...
Back in secondary school, I never really had any respects for the teachers, apart from several who played important roles in shaping the person I am today. The reason?
When I was still in Form 6, this conversation (or something like this, I can't remember very well the exact words) took place:
YY: Jason, do you mind driving me over to AAA plaza after meeting today?
Me: What for?
YY: I accidentally bumped into the back of a car a few days ago in the school's car park. The owner wasn't there, so I left a note with my mobile phone number so that he could look for me to claim the cost of the damage done. Turns out he's working in that plaza.
YY was a year my junior back in secondary school.
I didn't hesitate to drive him there. Honestly, I respect him for doing that, considering a lot of people would've left without giving a damn about the stranger's car. This shows how much moral and discipline is instilled among students in my school. But one thing for sure, the teachers didn't play any role in this. Let me recall an incident told by Ah Si.
He parked his car at the car lot beside the swimming pool which directly faces the school quadrangle one day after school. He was sitting inside his car when he saw a teacher reversing her car into a parking space when she bumped and wrecked another car's headlight. The teacher stopped her car, got off her vehicle, took a look at the stranger's car, looked around, and left. Just like that! Nothing else. None. Zero. Zilch. She clearly didn't notice Ah Si was still in his car watching the whole thing from start to end. Now tell me if teachers like that deserve any respect. Screw her, I hope she dies of anorexia bullimia.
Ah Si then went over the the unknown owner's car and left a note with that teacher's contact number and name (smart move, eh?).
Of course, that is not the only reason why I don't respect the teachers. There's also teachers who stole the school's fund *cough RM30,000 cough* and others but I don't think it's appropriate to post it here now cuz I can go on and on about the whole thing. Maybe next time. Or maybe I'll just leave it to Nic to say something, I'm sure he has a lot to talk about, right, my friend?

allow me to bitch for a moment
I am so dead tired. My life for the past couple of weeks only revolves around mopping and sweeping the bloody floor, vacuuming, assembling bedframes and wardrobes, feed the hamster, take shower, eat, shit, sleep, lodging stuffs, trashing old books, yelling at people, cleaning the windowpanes, complain, clean up the kennel, surf the net, wash the toilets, brush my teeth, comb my hair, massage my legs and back, eating panadols, watch football, etc etc. This sucks. I'm supposed to be on HOLIDAY FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! Can't anyone let me have a proper day off damnit?!
I swear if I am to stay with my siblings for another couple of years, I'm gonna turn psychotic. I just came back after shifting my sister's furnitures from Ikea and assembling them, and guess what my sister is doing now? She's watching a bloody movie in Midvalley with her boyfriend! And right before I switch on this computer, I was in the living room packing my brother's old books and trash. And he's out having supper with his friends! What the hell?! So now I don't have a life, do I? You guys come up with all sorts of mess and I have to clean them up? And why the hell am I the only one who has to mop, sweep and vacuum the floor for the last 2 weeks, while you guys go there and shake your useless legs? Gimme a break and start learning how to do something other than being rubbish!
If there is indeed a God in this world, please bless me with ultimate patience to tolerate them. Because if you give me strength I swear I'll beat them into pulp.
Four more days, be patient, four more bloody days...

yadda yadda yadda...
This is the comment I posted in Nic's blog, with no apparent logic.

hey, try this: add 2 cups of coke with 1/2 a cup of seven up. then add a pinch of salt. next, put 2 tablespoon of chicken rendang curry followed by 2 cups of dairy milk. tear an A4 paper into 14 pieces and throw them into the mixture and let it blend. next, take 2 plates and drop them onto the floor until they break. take the broom and sweep the floor clean. then filter your mixture and boil it from 1 bowl into 3 bowls of liquid. keep the fire steady and remember to put the pot's lid in the livingroom while you're boiling it.
p/s: if you're still alive after drinking it, contact me.

You know, once in a while, I tend to do or say something ridiculous just for the sake of it. I don't know, maybe I'm just too much of a depressed jumbo mumbo complicated rascal with some refridgerator for a brain. I swear I don't know what the last sentence meant. Whatever. Well, with my kind of life, sometimes you need this kind of humour to keep yourself sane and know you're still inhaling oxygen.
Yeah, I know I crap a lot, forgive me for doing so, because I believe you'd rather have a crappy friend than have a big tree as a friend, right? Hahaha... cheers and be thankful of everything in life, my friends. Life's pretty ok so far, ain't it? It's wonderful to feel alive, so instead of mumbling and rambling of shortcomings in life, let us celebrate for the fact that we are still alive. Salvage the moment and BE ALIVE!!!
p/s: I am not drunk.
