I think I have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. It is annoying. Also, I hate web building.

Gluttonous Maximus
Ah yes food. How can anybody not love it? We need food to live.... well some people live to eat. Some people would pay good money just to satisfy their taste buds and not be able to afford other things which are more... permanent. Materialistic objects if you will. Things that you can use over and over again. However that is for another time.
Tonight I share with you readers (who are actually interested or bored enough to read) my not-necessarily-expensive suggestions on ways you can pig out. Yes you can pig out, feel satisfied and not regret blowing a fortune on them! Sounds too good to be true? Well hear me out then. Let me try to remember some... I do have to disclaim in advance that there will not be any visual aids to accompany the list. Due to technical drawbacks and also them being food that you damn well know what they look like. Here they are in no particular reason for order.
1. Big Mac Meal, changing the drink to a milkshake.
This was a sleep-inducing, paralyzing experience for me. I had only watched the American kids do it on shows. Never actually wondering how it would feel for real.
The bovine feeling you get sinking your teeth into one of them juicy burgers, enhancing it with the taste of fries, then finishing it off with the sweet and rich slosh of the milkshake. It is a balance of taste. It gives you that little extra to ensure you are well fed. Be warned though that once you are done with this meal, you will suffer the effects of drowsiness and inability to be 100% productive. Not recommended during working days.
2. Mcdonald's Burger meal of your choice, with two 4-piece nuggets.
I know that 8 pieces of nuggets along with the meal is kind of overkill. However my justification is that ordering two 4-piece nuggets is only at 3 bucks each. Which totals to 6 bucks for 8 pieces. Opposed to ordering just the 6-piece one for 5 something. I love their barbecue sauce.
3. Superstar large combo, upgrading the fries to Chill Cheese Fries.
The price of this in total would be around the price of a medium Double Western Star combo. I still do not understand why the Superstar, which is so much more filling and has more ingredients cost cheaper than a Double Western Star. This is great for those times when a side of fries accompanying your burger is just not enough. Enter the Chili Cheese Fries to give you that extra fill of beef and cheese. The combination of cheese and the chili may prove to be a little salty though.
These trio are the ones that I can think of at the moment. I hope to share more with you as time goes on. Until then, continue to pig out while making your money's worth!

I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites. - Psalm 24:6
I have been troubled for a few days over a topic which I have often revisited and ponder on for hours and days on end. The Christians in church. I believe I have bitched about this same topic before. However I also believed that what I wrote before was not that great of an impact. People may have probably read it and went "He ain't talking about me!" Well today I will make it clear, that I am addressing all of you Christians. All of you who go to church every weekend to sing songs to God, listen to His words. I actually just summarized all that you do every weekend. Sure you can go into detail about how you go to church to rehearse before the actual service, have "fellowship" with friends. What else?
At this point some of them are probably thinking that is not true and that they also go for cell/caregroups and their Youth Fellowship at college/highschool. It is just added quantity of the same quality.
I hate, I despise your religious feasts;
I cannot stand your assemblies.
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.
Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!
Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:21-25
This was contributed by Ewokie as he too shares the similar distaste and gave his piece of mind via the passage which he strongly believes.
I noticed that the younger generation of Christians today are all about the latest Christian music, the latest album by the current popular group. Their latest concert, their merchandise. They get together sing the same songs which is the medium of helping them get along together. The thing in common they have which serves as an excuse to hang out together. Some of these people can even play musical instruments and play those music that they have listened together. Sounds pretty fun right? But that's just it. It is fun. They do it because its fun. Do they even think for one second what they are singing, what they are playing, what the song is about, who is the song for? They will be able to answer you that. But they do not necessarily put forth any true feelings when singing those songs. It has come to the point it is more like a ritual that they do, for the sake of doing. Weekend in, weekend out. Same things. With the occasional concerts which they all go to, to sing and dance and feel good about themselves.
Where are the words of God? Where are the beliefs for practice? Where are the actions to put forth and lead by example to the world? Sing and listen on weekends and that is it? Go to Youth Fellowship on Fridays, listen and get into the 'zone' for those hours and that is it? Everything else on every other day it is all about how fun they are having with their lives, with their friends or how tragic their lives are with all their problems. Not once do these people practice what they have learnt through scripture. Not once have they ever testify how the teachings that I assume they have learnt have been put to good use. Especially now, the days of the internet, I do not hear about how their faith and knowledge in their beliefs have helped them or not even hear any reviews and reflections they have on life.
I am not surprised at all and I do not feel sympathetic when people who are not Christians, criticize us Christians about our shortcomings about the things we do that are a nuisance to others. They do not even understand themselves and yet they want to go telling others on how they should live? Come on!
You Christians who weekend in, weekend out do the same rituals you do, keep to your own circle not wanting to have anything to do with others who do not share your views and interests. It has become like a clique, a society. You talk about the latest songs, the latest albums like commercial consumers.
You who get baptized who proclaim to people that you are Christians do nothing for others. Think nothing of others. Only keeping to yourselves. Showing others around you like-minded as you how good and holy you are... by doing nothing.
Matthew 6:1-18
You who do good deeds to be admired by others. You who pray in public places where everybody can see you. You who fast and act as if it is difficult that other people will admire you. Hypocrites.
Matthew 23
You who dress up to go Church and behave oh so friendly, cheerful and proper. You who give tithing but neglect the important teachings. You who look righteous and pure on the outside but are filthy and rotten on the inside.
These are among the main reasons why I choose to no longer associate myself with the place I grew up in, where people turned their backs on me. The place where superficiality and artificiality fester and thrive.

I'm Going to Make This Pencil... Disappear!
I finally was able to watch The Dark Knight last night. I went with my regular party, except this time Shawn replaces Marcus, as Marcus is in the land of rising sun. Also I found out today he watched it without us last week. Faggot.
I usually have lots to criticize about movies. This one left little to no room for me to do so. It was well laid out. After all it had two and a half hour so I guess that was enough time for them to pace things out nicely. Since I do not really have much to complain about the movie, I shall move on to the audience in the cinema.
There was this guy. Not a kid mind you. A guy who freaked out everytime the Joker's face appeared on close up during the movie. He had his fist in his mouth and he looked as if the Joker was coming right for him. *roll eyes* Seriously man... you need to reduce whatever it is that you have been smoking/taking.
Michael Caine plays his role as Alfred so naturally that I think it was a walk in the park for him, like free money. Morgan Freeman played his usual upright, righteous person with full of integrity. Gary Oldman managed to make the character Gordon a respectable and loveable character rather than in previous renditions of the character where he was just a side thing. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a better replacement of Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes and manage to add more color to her character. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent was able to draw attention in getting people to hear him out, his story of how he came to be who he was. In short all the main characters were fully colored and vibrant with detail that none of them seem to pale in comparison.

MY Miracle
The last day of being stuck doing nothing at the client's place. Today was not so bad as I had access to the internet for the entire day this time around.
This time around I did not feel bad about not being of any help at the workplace because it was apparent that the materials were not all ready and provided for their designer to lay out. It was pretty messy for him and I could see that. I feel bad for him though. He is a nice guy and has far more experience in terms of layout compared to me. Here is was being thrown a totally new concept created by me and also with articles that have a lot of specifics which made it least flexible. This in turn would involve more parties, relying on them to determine necessary changes which further delays the completion of the publication. I just hope everything goes well for him.
I hate seeing nice guys having to clean up the mess of other people. You might think, "Hey they hired him!" That is true, but we are all human. They should consider the shit that their employees have to go through.
* * * * *
I was getting ready to face the molestation and stench of the LRT when a miracle was bestowed upon me. Rayn called and offered to give me a ride home. I did not think it was a good idea because it was well out of her way. She insisted so what was I to do? I am eternally grateful for the things she does for me. I daresay these days, most girls expect to be driven. Most girls expect to be treated. Most girls expect their guys to be slaves/pets where they can be called and dismissed at any time they wish. Those are the girls that I will never get.
Thanks baby!

Loaded Retarded Transit
So I had to travel all the way to the city today because I was assigned to supervise a client's designer for the layout of their publication. I really am not needed there and I was right. The entire day I did nothing but explain a few technicalities of the layout to their designer. I feel so wasted in terms of energy and time. They had better not complain that my services sucked. They do not even have half the material ready for the lay out.
* * * * *
I had to take the LRT on the way home and boy was it jam packed. There was walls of people queuing up to buy tickets. Waiting an hour did not seem to make a difference. Just wasted my own hour doing nothing. Everybody all squeezed in tight in the train making it exactly like those train scenarios you would know about in Japan. I actually noticed on the train today... that the people who often rush to grab seats on the train are women and people with dark colored skin. Yes I am being a sexist and racist all at one shot. I do not mean to but that is from my observation. I am not talking about old women either. I am talking about women in their prime. The people with dark colored skin have a variety of people locally all the way to the continent of Africa. To think I have to do it all again tomorrow. Thank God I do not work in the city nor do I have to commute. Traveling was the hardest part.
* * * * *
Rayn was nice enough to take my body(because my mind was not there) to 1U to attempt to get tickets to Dark Knight again. When we arrived at GSC, the queue was up until the pie shop. I was like "Fuck this shit." and tried TGV. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were so many seats available for Dark Knight at TGV on Thursday. It was almost empty. It was cheaper too hah! After getting the tickets, I then accompanied Rayn to another boutique to get another piece. Wow she has been buying lots of new stuff these two weeks. Oh well, I guess she's in the spirit of the Malaysian Mega Sale event thing.
* * * * *
Young punks. I fucking hate young punks. They think they are so smart answering you back. Hey I welcome a good challenge of witty intelligent responses. Keeps me sharp. But when they say stuff to me that do not even make sense or sound like they are on topic... What the fuck mate!? I can't even give an appropriate reply. I then feel the urge to explain to them where they are currently at to keep them on the track but then I say to myself "Why should I be explaining this shit to them?" Which makes me feel like an idiot trying to explain something to someone who would never get it. Then I go "Fuck this shit." What a way to ruin/end my night. Fuck you guy. I hope the girls around you are smart enough to know you for who you are bro. Or if they are stupid as fuck, then nevermind.

P is for...
Yesterday Rayn got me from work and we headed to 1 Utama to purchase movie tickets for Friday. It will be the last week that we will be seeing Marcus for a long while as he is going to Japan for at least a couple of months. So I thought we had dinner and a movie with him before he leaves next week. Naturally we all wanted to watch the Dark Knight. Guess what? All 3 cinemas that were screening it were fully reserved. I saw 'R's all over. This was bullshit. How can they allow almost the entire cinema to be reserved? I remember that they had a certain amount of seats allocated for reservations. So the second option was Hellboy 2. I am not really expecting much from it though if it is anything like the first one.
Before we went home, I decided to get myself dinner as my dad was out of town and my mom did not want to have dinner. I decided to go for pizza as I have not had that for a long time. While waiting for my pizza I accompanied Rayn to a couple of clothing boutiques where she was looking for new threads to buy.
We both went home happy. I got what I wanted. She got what she wanted. We got what we wanted.
