I drank sour milk... It was not supposed to expire this early...

This My House

So I have been thinking about Japanese styled bathrooms where there is an area for you scrub down followed by a shower and a bathtub where you can soak yourself after showering. I am not sure about reality but damn do those bathrooms in anime and galge look huge. I sure wish my future house would have a bathroom like that. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find any images which show what I am talking about.

If I was rich I'd design my own house and use certain Japanese designs. The bathroom for one, not to mention the entrance where you put your shoes would be lowered from the rest of the house's floor level. Oh it would be nice if it had a veranda overlooking the garden which had sliding glass doors.

Keeping Myself Busy

I am proud to say... That I did not touch World of Warcraft the entire day. Instead I was sending out job applications and two of which actually responded a couple of hours later.

i2media has asked me to go for an interview tomorrow or uh... later at 10am.
A representative from MYC magazine requested to look at some samples of my work which I provided, thus gaining me an opportunity for an interview with them as well. However the specifics has not been confirmed.

My good friend from way back in high school, Ryan came over at 10pm to give me music lessons. That is right. Grade 1 y'all... I have decided to be disciplined and go through the very beginning of music theory with a plan of eventually becoming a certified musician or music teacher. I guess now, since I'm older the maturity of getting my shit together is slowly developing.

Speaking of music lessons if any of you who are interested in learning how to play the guitar please let me know and I'll see if we can arrange something. I will teach you to be able to play all the common chords and strumming so that you can play whatever song you wish to play. Depending on your interest in learning, the process of being proficient can vary.

Walk of Life

I went to watch Pirates 3 with my cousin yesterday. I could not believe it when I realized they showed around 30 minutes worth of commercials before the feature presentation... Of course they gave a mixture of foreign and local commercials. Once you start making comparisons, you tend to notice that foreign commercials tend to be more or less 60 seconds and they can get straight to the point with you understanding as opposed to local ones, where they take forever and in the end you would not even know what just hit you, like some sort of visual garbage. I especially dislike those commercials where they show the youth generation trying to look cool, when what they are portraying is not even genuine, like they do not even know why they are behaving that way or even understand the origins of the kind of 'trend'. All they understand is that everybody else is doing it and they look cool at it.

I love walking in shopping malls. I can gain much enlightenment from walking from one end the other on all floors. Things like observing other shoppers' behaviors to the type of advertisements they display to the latest trends in clothings and gadgetry. Oh and let us not forget about books. People say magazines help you get the information on what is new and what is the latest trend and how to keep with it and be with the crowd. I think it is herding method by the commercial sector to control what the consumers want, to make them believe that the products being promoted is just what they need.

Oh and there is the fun of watching various people dress and style 'interestingly'. I usually reserve the comments to myself because the culture here would deem me as being too offensive whereas in western countries I'd just maybe a little funny.

Oh Afzal, if you're reading this, we must go walk walk near midnight at 1 Utama again sometime. I find it very experiencing especially we have much to talk about. Unless you got nothing to say then don' t bother hahaha.

I now leave you with my cousin's art masterpiece as we were leaving Toys R Us...

Michael Buble - Call Me Irresponsible

I'm not sure how long ago his latest album was released, but it sounded good. Nothing much on it that made a huge impact but it was good. You know, like what the judges on American Idol would say... "playing on the safeside" in a sense that its the same stuff that a person would be proficient at, not taking risks to be different in hopes of trying out something new that might work.

One of the tracks from the latest album "Call Me Irresponsible" titled; Everything, is quite enjoyable. Especially if you have been in love/are in love with somebody... and I really mean really really in love and not afraid to show it, you will feel that the words can connect with you. That is how I feel about the song. Makes me wish I had a girlfriend to sing it to...

Going to play it at least 50 more times before I go sleep...

Lucky Star; Episode 11

Man I laughed so hard towards the ending at what Konata's dad kept doing. Also the karaoke song they sang during the credits. That was awesome!

One of Those Dreams

So towards the moment of being woken up. I dreamed I was in bed with Roxana Diaz, some Venezuelan (or somewhere in South America) actress. She was hot and all that like when she was in the drama Mis Tres Hermanas. Only thing was that she was pregnant. For some strange reason I had no problem with her being pregnant not knowing who it belonged to. She was worried that nobody would want her because of the situation and again oddly enough I actually told her I would take care of her.

The scene changes and we are walking out of our luxurious condo unit thing where the settings of the outside of the unit appears to be Bali'ish wooden type but modernly styled. We proceed to the parking lot. As we were heading to the car, Roxana Diaz gradually transformed in appearance to somebody I know in person. I am not going to say who because it is freaky enough. On the way to the parking lot there were a bunch of guys acting all tough and shouting at us as if they were wanting to start a fight. I proceeded walking on flipping them a finger. They then came over and surrounded me, armed with weapons. Their leader a bald person approaches me as if wanting to intimidate me. I just punched him square in the face with my last visions of him flying backwards into one of his friends and that was when I woke up to stupid lousy techno music blaring from my neighbour.

I think I ate peanut butter gone bad...

On The Road

So I went for Round 2 of interview for a job as a management trainee for a certain book publishing company. On the way to their place, I noticed 2 cars broken down on the side of the road in different places each. I also saw cars broken down along highways as well in the span of the past few days. Guess what? They were all Mercs and BMWs. Continental cars on the side of the road are usually broken down. Asian cars on the side of the road are usually met with accidents. I guess you cannot win them all.

* * * * *

On the way home I saw road police on duty. They were pulling drivers over who cross double lined borders or something. Could not see from one side of the ramp. I noticed most of the drivers pulled over were female drivers. Only two points appeared in my mind. First was whether female drivers were really that careless or do the police only pick push over targets?

Sola; Episode 10 [may contain spoilers]

I just watched the 10th episode of an anime titled Sola.
What really bothered me was that it was revealed that the main guy character was not what he appeared to be in a really disappointing way. It makes me feel that he is not a solid character to care about anymore because of finding out what he really is.

I can only hope that the remaining episodes will somehow fix that along with many plot gaps which I am sure were intentionally made to have the audience guessing and putting pieces together themselves, not to mention certain inconsistencies in the plot as mentioned in certain forums discussing this story.

One of the many reasons why I dislike following ongoing anime. I would have to wait for the next episode to be released only to get another cliffhanger ending and then let suspense kill me slowly in a cycle until the entire series end.

The Hujan

It has been raining a lot lately. I love it. Ironically whenever there is no rain and it is hot and humid, I complain that it deprives me of sleep. However now when it rains, I still do not sleep due to having so many things to do that requires me being awake.

Sympathies to people driving, who have just washed their car and dogs who live outside the house.

Today... Is A Good One

So I managed to get three items from Black Morass in World of Warcraft for my rogue with only 2 runs. Of course I ran it more times but it took a whole lot less runs than I expected in order to acquire these 3 particular items which I thought would have taken forever especially them being most sought after by players of other classes.

I am happy today. Yes I am. You know that feeling when you just had a good tasty hearty meal? Except that this one I had to deprive myself of sleep to get it.
A large shout out to my friends who made it happen especially my game buddy of around 5 years plus, Shawn aka Tatsumaki.

There Is No Space!

I have been thinking about my storage limit; hard disks space.
As long as I have broadband, no matter how much vacant space I have left will never be enough.
I am the type of person who loves collecting and storing files in thoughts of them being useful somewhere in the future. You could say I am an archivist.

I dislike situations where you reminiscence the good old programs that were cool a few years back and would be near impossible to find them ever again.

I should go find a solution rather than buying more and more hard disks + enclosures. They take up physical space in my room. Probably set up a simple rig which has lots of hard disks and network it to my primary computer.
You might be wondering why not just simply burn the files onto discs. I hate discs. They always have the cycle redundancy check error which destroy my beloved files. You waste money on discs which cannot store files safely which you cannot find anymore as time goes on.

Speaking of space, my games partition is running our of space. I wonder if there is anyway Blizzard could control the size of their patches or manage older files to be more space efficient.

Drama Time

I got played by a girl.
She seems remorseful but why did she continue doing it?
Her mother thinks nothing of it as if my feelings were of no importance.
Her mother smiles at me as if nothing happened.

She tells everybody that she is deeply hurt by what happened.
She tells everybody that I acted mean towards her and her mother.
I did not do anything to her or even look at her.
All I did was react in disapproval of her mother's indifference to my experience; by not having anything to say to her.

All it took was for one half-assed written sms as a joke to her "hey wanna make out at the beach? hahaha" to trigger offense with her mother. Now she tells me not to sms her or her daughter again. I guess not everybody can be up there all the time acting all godly and righteous.

I am sick of being the bigger person. Hence I will not be attending church for an indefinite amount of time. People disgust me. Especially those who act better than everyone else.
