Merdeka!

A shoutout to commemorate our country's Independence. May we have a brighter and more peaceful future for us, our children and our children's children. May we all strive to make it happen where one day we will be like other multi-racial countries who live in peace and harmony, respectful and tolerant of each other.

Allow me to recite the Rukunegara from the top of my head:

Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan
Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara
Keluhuruan Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!

I decided to go have dinner on my own after work today. I drove to 1 Utama because it was the nearest mall around. Well there is Atria but nothing much to see there. Surprisingly, I managed to find a parking by the entrance in the new wing. Since I was by myself I decided to go eat wherever the I wanted to and nobody was around to say anything about it. The only problem was that I did not know what to have for dinner. While walking around I could not help but notice this girl staring at me. In fact if I did not know any better, I could have sworn she was following me a fair bit while I was walking around. Of course she tried not to make herself obvious but I am not blur. Being myself the one who is never afraid of confronting people, I decided to turn around and walk up to her to ask what was up. When I went up to her, I was going to start my sentence with "Is there a prob..." That was when I realized that she was rather cute which caused me to trip all over myself with my words. I felt like a right idiot there and then. There I was trying to be all cool and smart when one look into her eyes just rendered me dumb. Silent dumb and retarded dumb. She looked like was expecting me to say something with her eyes looking at me while her hands were clenched held up to her chin. I stuttered and struggled to form the few words "Uh... is there something wrong?"

She looked at me with an expression as though she did not imagined my voice to sound the way it was. She gave a sheepish smile while looking nervously everywhere but at me and said, "I wanted to find out if it was true... That you're a celebrity..."

My heart skipped a beat. What the heck!? Who told her that? Who would have the audacity to deceive this poor girl like that? Moreover, how could she have believed such a story? Hundreds of questions were cycling through my mind at that very second but I had to get back to reality. I snapped out of it and smiled rather dumbly and politely denied that I was in anyway a celebrity let alone related to the show business industry at all. Telling her this, I expected her to be only a little disappointed and that she would just forget all about it, releasing me from her life, foregoing that I ever existed where life goes on despite the fact.

"No! Don't lie to me! I am not stupid! I will not believe such an obvious lie! You're just saying that to hide yourself so that you don't make a scene and attract unwanted attention!"

At that point of time she was right. I did want to hide myself away from the world because she was making a scene and people were starting to stare at us wondering what harm have I caused this girl. This girl who was so convinced that I was denying to be somebody famous who is trying avoid her and the public by any means. Not to draw anymore attention from people who seemed like they were going to send me to the police station after they had their fun of dishing out 'justice' on me whom they think had hurt the girl in some way, I brought her to the benches which were outside one of the bathrooms to explain to her properly. It was usually quiet there. Nobody would want to hang out around a public bathroom area.

I looked at her with with a rather annoyed and serious expression wanting to tell her once and for all that she surely has mistaken me for somebody else. As I looked at her, she had this defiant look and her eyes were welling up with tears. That broke my heart instantly, sapping whatever strength that was left in me and left me numb for the moment. She looked so adorably cute with that look on her face that it melt my heart. Trying not to protect myself from being made vulnerable by her look, I faced down to the floor told her, "I am sorry but I am not the person you think I am."

Rush Hour 3

Oh before I forget.... if you have a copy of today's (27th August 2007) The Star newspaper. Check out page N19. You will see my latest work printed there! Yes I am proud of it!

* * * * *

I guess I am slowly adapting to having time out with friends while having a job. Went to 1 Utama today to have dinner and a movie with Marcus. Marcus, my high school best friend until now, Marcus. Not any other Marcuses. He brought me FHM and Zoo from Australia woohoo! He is always cool enough to drive around nyahaha. I guess he enjoys driving, having the mobility to get around whenever he wants. Of course it is plenty a motivation when one has a beemer.

So we had our usual humor about stuff like the way how things are here, over dinner at Nippon Yataimura. I have not been feeling too well for these couple of days which is causing me the loss of appetite. I had the chicken katsu don which was a little too salty to my liking. I guess that is their method of making it 'tasty'. Marcus being himself was unable to finish his food. Unfortunately I had trouble finishing mine as well else I would have without a second thought, helped him with his.

Me being the time freak was being uncomfortable about how late we were going to be for the movie while Marcus being experienced(he has more of a social life than I do) was in no rush and knew that we would make it before the movie started. He was right. Stupid commercials lasts from 20 minutes to 30 minutes before the feature presentation.

The show was not bad. However it lacked the fullness of the previous two movies. Although it had its hits, definitely had noticeable misses. Some of which were just too cliche and predictable. Of course what never fails are their witty jokes and one/two liners which most movie goers here would never get. The ending credits were sort of a comfort or consolation to me which I always looked forward to after the story ends. Even that was sort of toned down. I guess it comes with aging where you can only go so far with the same materials before it becomes desaturated.

Oh well, we plan to watch Evan Almighty next before this week ends. Hopefully I can drag Shawn along as well. Then we will have our little World of Warcraft real life meet. Hahahaiamsuchanerd...

Lethal Looks

Ever heard sayings which are in the lines of 'Looks that can kill'? It is true in some cases. Especially in the news as of late. A couple of cases of which guys fight over girls to the extent where they result in serious injuries and would need hospitalization or even murder.

Pride and lust make a very deadly duo. The intensity of one's lust fuels their pride creating a extreme desperation to go all out on getting what one wants. Be careful when playing the hard to get game. Be careful not to expose yourself warranting unwanted attention from the wrong people. Most of all do not snub them with prejudice. People with bigger ego tend to react more violently when exploded. Kind of like a big ass balloon with highly reactive/explosive gas. The bigger the ego is, the more hurt when it is pricked. I knew some people who would even go all out including losing their own lives if it meant restoring their 'honor'. I guess that is how they plan people to always remember them; overzealous till death regarding their faces.

Back to the subject on looks. Some people may be able to achieve visual pleasant'ness but lack the brains to manage it. Also known as the airheaded bimbos(was that redundant?).

I guess less than attractive people could consider it as a convenient reason of having low probability of getting into trouble with unwanted parties.

The Week of Merdeka!

Well honestly, I am more excited about getting my salary this week more than anything. Of course also I will be glad to celebrate 'around 50 years' of independence and more importantly peace between citizens of respective race and religion. However I will write more on that in a few days time when it will be more appropriate.

Well my pay may sound good to most people especially since it is my first serious permanent job. However I do plan on giving a portion back as tithes and also to my dad as token of respect and appreciation for what he has done for me all my life. I plan to do this monthly. This would scale up if ever my salary increases as well. In time I wish to be earning enough to be able to give a little something back to those who have looked after me and cared for me. Those who have ensured that I would have a future even if it meant them giving up their comfort and savings. I will strive to give my appreciation the best I can.

God has truly blessed my family despite the trials we have gone through as a family. I can only continue thanking Him and trusting Him with my life for He knows best for me.

I Totally Ripped This Idea Off but...

Kyoto Animation roxorz!

Citizens!

I can understand people who will not take the time out of their busy lives to help a stranger in need. With all the dishonest people out there trying to deceive innocent people out of their possessions. What is wrong with the country we live in today?

Has gaining material possessions become so highly sought after that causing others grief a worthwhile? I would not consider myself to have been brought up properly by those who should be responsible of doing so. I am not blaming them either. However I want to point out that despite having little guidance or lack thereof in life, I still managed to think for myself in terms of living day to day without having the intentions of wanting to benefit myself at the cost of others’ inconvenience.

A while back, I was challenged with this question, “Would you help a stranger you see along your way?” I wish I could quickly responded positively but then second thoughts came in where some people pretend to be in need and once they manage to secure a victim, would mercilessly rob them or even worse things. These days with so many crimes being reported in the news. It only makes people more aware of how cruel the world can be. It makes everyone more alert and even paranoid to the extent where they will not trust anybody in the streets even when the strangers obviously pose no threat. How can one be a good Samaritan without the thought of getting jumped? And the only ‘wrong’ the Samaritan did was go out of their way to help the supposed person in need.

The older people who can influence the young should educate them in becoming good and respectful citizens. Letting them know the reasons and consequences of their actions. As weak as it sounds, children do remember words of older ones especially their parents. Assuming these kids are intelligent and actually use their brains once in a while. If the kids do not listen to their parents’ wisdom, then the parents fail in educating their children in proper ways and respect.

My close friends will know that I often reiterate that I do my best to live by the saying “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” If one looks at the sentence deeply, one will find many aspects as to how it will benefit one’s self as well as one’s relationship with others. This is the part where I become a jerk and will not elaborate further. However those who are interested in knowing more of what I say are always welcomed to message me.

Another good saying that I actually learnt from a movie is “Be The Miracle”. It is from the movie Bruce Almighty. If everyone would actually start thinking about helping others, the world would be a much better place. Also quoting from one of the books I read years ago about romantic relationships. There is no such thing as finding the right person. Instead it should be _being the right person_. The reason why the world today is deteriorating ethically is due to almost everybody thinking of themselves. Thinking as to how benefit themselves and only themselves. If you are nice to others they will be nice in return. Except for some ungrateful assholes and bitches. Also if you are unpleasant to others, they will respond in kind.

How then can we make other people’s lives around us a little bit better? For starters you could greet people you see or even say thank you when they help you with stuff. It may not sound like a big deal, but the kind thoughts will power the gesture and it will be felt by the recipient and in turn create a synergy between the both of you which in turn will develop a better relationship. Although it may sound weird coming from me, but smiling is a very powerful ability. When you smile, others will smile in reflex. I used to have to smile whenever I meet anybody in Australia because that is how their culture is; being polite to everyone regardless of personal issues if any with the other. Guys, open doors for girls and let them walk first. Girls, be ladylike and give guys some ‘face’ and let them perform their role as gentlemen. Its like I am already programmed to always let girls go first whether its queuing to enter an elevator or through a doorway.

Coming back to Malaysia just sucked out all the positive’ness I accumulated while in Australia. So now I am more annoyed with the general populace in this country. Hmm maybe that is somewhat too large of a scope. I should say the people that I come across.

The Best Band Ever

If only I could learn the ninja shit where I could duplicate copies of myself. I would split myself into 4 copies. Each of me would take up 2 guitars, a bass and drums respectively. Each playing our part as lead, rhythm, bass and drums. Man we would rock so hard!

Self Esteem

Back in the day, like few years back, I made an account in ahmoi.com. It was interesting to look at many of the girls' profiles. Most of them were stupid bitches who used it like how idiots in Malaysia use friendster now. Back then friendster did not exist yet. All of them were always giving people the impression that they want to make friends and shit. When I actually message them and all I found these people to be real stuck up fucks. They are actually just tagging people as some sort of popularity contest. Just like what stupid Malaysians do with friendster. They do not really know all the 1,429,238 people in their friends list.

Come to think about it, it kind of seems like being a cyberslut. Seeing how many people the person can 'go through'. They add it to their friends list sort of like a record to show people their 'achievements'.

Anyways what I wanted to say was that looking at most of these people who post their profiles in ahmoi.com... well let's just say they really made me feel better of myself on the whole. I am a prick I know. A happy one at that.

Things I Learnt at Work on This Day

1. Printing desk calendars is a bitch.
2. Drawing straight perpendicular lines is a bitch.
3. Interacting with glue or any form of adhesive is a bitch.
4. Punching holes for comb binding is easy if you look what you are punching. Else its a bitch.
5. I learned how to comb bind!

* * * * *

Things I've noticed today:

There is a hole in the sponge of my headphone's right earpad. They are good headphones too with the built in microphone and all. Damnit.

Today in The Star news, I am not sure if the writer intentionally made a pun. It was an article about a bunch of kids stating that they got sodomized. The final sentence of the article was something like "They will get to the bottom of this."

Any single preggers out there?

Not for me!

I came across this thread which amused me. So I decided to contribute by helping pass the word.

Click here to read about it.

For those of you to lazy to click, it is basically an 'ad' for a single guy who is looking for a pregnant woman to get with. Apparently he has some depression issues and believes that getting with a pregnant woman would help improve things.

Here is the list of criterias:
- must be legal age (17-35)
- must be slim (pre-pregnancy)
- must be good-looking.
- speaks english
- level-headed (basically meaning she got pregnant because of a mistake, not because she's a feng tau chick who sleeps with 100 men)

I cannot help but notice the last point where it says 'level-headed' with the explanation of getting pregnant by mistake as an acceptable qualification, and not a person who sleeps around. It may be just me, but a level headed person would not get herself pregnant in the first place. A high probability of getting pregnant is not determined by the quantity of a men she has slept with. If she does not play safe, the chances are as high as with just having one partner. The only problem I can see with having many partners is not knowing who the father is. A level-headed person would not sleep around so easily and would not easily get herself pregnant if she did not intend to in the first place.

* * * * *

Now back to the guy's intentions. I do not think that getting with a pregnant woman will help with his personal issues. Especially if he has no experiences with caring for a woman and a baby. It will only add on to his despair if he already has problems dealing with his own issues. I also do not think that any pregnant woman who was abandoned would simply trust any guy who would suddenly be so nice as to offer such a relationship like that. A relationship does not happen overnight. Being able to be in a position to look after a woman and her child is not something you can crash course. Yes I am saying all this based on zero experience. However I say this with giving it thought in different views.

Momomomomo

I went to a Japanese buffet place called Momo at centerpoint yesterday to celebrate my friend, Enoch's birthday along with others. Initially we were expecting to have more of us show up but two of them were sick and another two just did not like Japanese food. Perhaps they still have this misconception that all Japanese eat are raw fish. It was alright I guess, nothing really special and the variety of stuff was pretty limited. However their meat were fresh and tender which made a lot of difference.

I am creating a new found theory whereby buffets tend to attract selfish idiots. This woman who was in front of me was standing at the teppanyaki counter doing nothing. Initially she was deciding which type of meat to pick but eventually just stood there looking at the counter left and right repeatedly and at one point seemed like she gave up altogether. All that and she still stood there doing nothing. I was trying to get my meats and gtfo of that place while she was just standing there doing nothing. I was so tempted to make a rude comment before I left. How blind can you be woman!? Or rather, this is not your father's restaurant!

While waiting to get some ice cream from the ice cream bar, I saw this uncle trying to put the entire contents of the bar into his bowl. It took him long enough. I could not help noticed that the back of his shirt read 'God @ Work'. Okay... That is such an ironic sight.

After dinner I followed one of my friends, Bee Lee to Cineleisure as he wanted to go look at anime/manga related products. Here is the funny thing. He says he is fasting from anime, however looking at still images/objects is fine. Somehow it just seems like compromising to me but hey its his fasting.

More Pikkies!

I was on my way to buy lunch today and noticed that the sky was very clear and beautiful. The sun was hidden behind some clouds thus giving this very bright and clear effect without the glare!


and another one


Revived the photographer in me a little bit.

Oh by the way here is a picture of the food I ate when I first went to Carl's Jr.


Ah yes, the Double Western Star and Double Portobello Mushroom Burger! Heavenly!

Toneless Roma

I went for dinner with my mom last night. We planned to go Tony Roma's for a while now having good expectations from them. Since it was from America like Chili's it was supposed to be good. So we went there and well it looked decent neat and tidy and all.



That was from out sitting table which was spacious in width, sadly like most places design with the common Malaysians' anatomy where most everybody is considered short with short legs. Anyways I was impressed when I looked at the cutlery which was wrapped in black napkin. I love black fabrics that are used for non-clothing related purposes.



We ordered the Onion Loaf for starters which sounded like it could rival Chili's Awesome Blossom...



... boy I was wrong...
One bite of the onion and the waiter appeared out of no where and asked "How are the onions?" All I could say was "It tastes like onions." Which reminds me of a noob waiter who asked me how was my burger before I could even bite into it. The onions were just ordinary onions fried in batter. Nothing special you cannot get from chinese 'dai chows'.

A while after our main courses came. I ordered the steak combo, which comprised of a 6oz steak, chicken tenders, coleslaw and fries. My mom ordered the grilled Mahi Mahi fish which came with rice, brocollis and salsa thingy.


The Steak Combo...


Grilled Mahi Mahi

I ordered my steak medium. It came well done on the outside, like almost burnt while the inside was tough and chewy like rubber. I hurt my teeth going through it. The 'chicken tenders' that came with it looked like they were almost burnt to crisps also very tough to eat. My mom's fish as well was not tender and juicy. It was tough as well like tuna. We gave our comments to the waitress in charge about the condition of our food. She apologized, even acknowledging my steak was sucky. All they had to show for it was a free desert, which was a cheesecake that should not even qualify to be sold at that kind of place.

I shall not be visiting there again.

Multi Tasking

I find life's pleasure in simple things like having McDonald's breakfast. I was walking to work while eating. I thought it would save time and make things easier for me to take the hash brown out from its paper package and stick it in the Sausage McMuffin I was eating when lo and behold I approached a flight of stairs going downwards. It was a tall flight of stairs as I was on an overhead bridge which spanned across a highway. So my brain hung when I was doing all of that while walking and trying to take a step down the stairs when suddenly I lost balance. I would have tumbled down the stairs maybe breaking a few bones or even my neck or spine which might have caused me to die without finishing my McMuffin and hash brown. What a waste that would have been. Thankfully I had fast reflexes and leaned backwards as if I was going to sit on the stairs to bring my weight back, preventing me from falling forward down the stairs. I also blame my well worn Nike Air which I bought a while back while I was in Australia. They are very nice and comfortable shoes and carried me almost everywhere I went in Melbourne. I walked everywhere I needed to go. The shoes grip now are almost bald but surprisingly still grippy however it is not leveled anymore which is why I tend to lose balance while walking up and down stairs. Which took that near death experience to bring me to realization. Although I cannot bear to part with that pair of shoes, I am sad to say that I have to. They do not make shoes like those anymore.

Sorry, I still am pretty much alive!

Who Would've Thought

I just discovered a stereotypical person. This person's personality reminds me of those airhead blondes in ways of speaking and thinking. When she talks, she talks. She does not listen to responses and keeps going on and on not caring about others' opinion. Most of her views are based on her perspectives of face value. This person bases her experiences on trends and only what she see perceives.

It really fascinates me to be able to encounter this type of person. But hey everybody has their right to dream and be whoever they want to be. Some people like the glamorous scene. Some people like being in the cool circle being noticed by everybody else. Some annoying people like trying hard to be in the cool circle at the same time practice false humility.

As for this person I encounter, all I do is smile and nod my head. At least I do listen to what she has to say. I just cannot guarantee how I respond to it, that is all.

Technologeeee

Acquiring new technology makes me happy like a kid waiting to go open Christmas presents under the Christmas tree... which I never had the experience of doing. Anyway the next part I wish to upgrade in my power rig would be the power supply unit. Sure it has been faithfully serving me as well for as long as the barrakote but it is said that PSUs deteriorate in energy production in time. Furthermore my PSU is only a 480w one. Time to get something with lots of buffer space like a 600w. Those things are expensive though but yeah good power supply helps the entire system last longer by providing stable source of energy. Power surges are bad for computers it may not seem like a noticeable threat but trust me the surges the computer gets over time the worse it will get. Think of it as waves of water smashing against rocks. Not the best analogy I can find in the morning but yeah. I am off to eat and head for work.

Ain't Nothing Gonna Break My Stride (again?)

Classic titles are always good.

I am back online with a new harddisk that is bigger and faster than my previous one. It finally was clear that the harddisk is dying. I had to plug the dying harddisk as a slave and evacuate all my precious files to my new one which took quite a long while as I have loads of files and the faulty harddisk kept dying every few minutes. So it was like a game to see how fast I can transfer as much files over as possible having to shut down and turn my computer on again to get the faulty harddisk to work everytime it passes out.

I would like to give my gratitude to the Seagate Barracuda(I call it barrakote) 7200.7, 200GB. It has stuck with me through thick and thin starting from when I was in Australia studying and gaming all up until now. It had a very hard and stressful life with the amount of stuff I do. It can finally rest in peace for the rest of its days. Until I find somebody to throw it at.

My new primary harddisk is a Maxtor 320GB(yes Max, feed your ego) which in actual is only about 300GB. I do not understand why they create harddisk to give you less space than stated. They should make it give more than stated. That way it will attract more kiasu customers like myself thinking it will be value for money and in turn draw more profit from more customers. This thing is able to transmit data at 3Gb/s thanks to my motherboard. I do feel the speed especially when formatting, followed by installing the operating system.

It Never Fails

I guess it is that time again where my computer, whichever one that I use primarily, fucks up. It never fails. I always seem to have wonderful luck with computer problems be it software or hardware issues. Hell I even had my computers fried by lightning a few times before.

I have just returned from Low Yat. Again with a new harddisk. Hopefully it will solve the current issue. It is really hindering me from my daily routine especially when I try to research for work related purposes.

WinBlows

So my computer had been acting weird lately, it was freezing up every few seconds looking like my RAM was being used up. However that was not the case. I woke up on Saturday morning to find that my computer had a blue screen with an error 'Kernel Stack Inpage Error', which I am still trying to find out the cause. Rebooting did not help as it said some of my windows files were missing(wtf). So yeah I had no choice but to reformat and all that again only this time I had to retrieve my precious and important documents from the main partition of the harddisk before I wiped it off via reformatting. Best of all, before I could do all that, I needed to head down to KL to take a look at a site called Sun Complex for an article I needed to write at work, which will be explained in a later post.

Thanks to Shawn, whom brought his computer over to my place, I managed to retrieve my files and reformat my computer without much problems. I only regret that I had to use up his entire day as well as mine. As I am typing this my computer is still being restored... I have shit loads of programs and files not to mention updates and patches for programs. Argh!

Days...

There are not enough hours in a day.
I come home from work, eat dinner, shower, watch a couple of shows and that is it. Most of the time I sleep way after my target time and that is not good for the next day. Need more hours per day!

I Told You So

I am sure many people still disbelieve my ability to read people. Always having explanations as to how my insight and clairvoyance are either coincidences or mere imaginations. It is fine, I am not bothered by it anymore. It is futile for words to fall on deaf ears.

However for those of you who are curious or interested in reading what I write regardless, this is what I say. Ever since young I had a very inquisitive nature. I would always like to know more about all kinds of things. Certain things that common people would deem as trivial even. Hence I tend to pay attention to details, both obvious and subtle ones. Since most of the people around me could never be bothered to listen to me or believe what I point out, I usually kept things to myself watching things happen, learning from them and taking the experiences into thoughts where they are broken down to their basic elements followed by comparing their similarities to other behaviors and/or personalities.

I tend not to speak much because I do not have the gift of charisma as most people would know. Instead of speaking, I rather listen to what others say and see what others do. I tend to pick up pretty fast on what makes a person tick; being able to calculate the probabilities of an action causing a certain reaction with the person. Of course all this and people still do not believe me but that is fine. Benefits all to myself!

Now you may be wondering "If he is all he say he is, why doesn't he use it for greater scheme of things?" Well because first of all it is not a supernatural power where I claim that I am able to read people's minds. It is more of being a fast learner where I excel in learning through observing. I guess that explains one of my abilities to pick up music rather easily on my own.

In my view, it is very easy to read a person given time. Anybody can do it. However some people are not as attuned. Some people tend to not notice subtle things within the picture thus being unaware and probably have their readings of the person inaccurate.

In my history, I have told a lot of people about how things would end up should they continue a certain action or continue towards a certain path in life. Naturally they never believe me. Until this very day most of my predictions have came true. This ability that I possess not only helps with looking ahead but also into the past. Whom a person is can be revealed by their past just as whom a person will be in their future.

The most basic and simplest way of explaining how it works is this. Let us use gravity for example. We know is there. We are so used to it that we do not even think about it normally until there is a situation which requires more thinking than usual. So let us say that I know a person who is jumping from cliff to cliff in a mountainous area. I look at the situation and say that it is better to stop then to risk falling off a cliff and into the ravine resulting in death. Now you may be thinking "Duh, of course that is very obvious!"

Why? Simply because you know that jumping around like that in that area is dangerous because it is in such a high place and they fall down the results would be lethal. Thanks to gravity. Now if I had never mentioned gravity I highly doubt that would have come into mind.

We all know about gravity. We all know it is dangerous in rocky areas in high places. We know jumping around in those places has a probability of an accident waiting to happen. Summary is, that if you know the situation and think about the gravity of the situation (pun so intended) you would be able to see into the future and make better judgments at present.

Reason why I talked about this is because I was reading someone else's blog and one of the many predictions I made came into full circle not too long ago. This particular prediction I made is of a person I do not know well at all. However with the general factors given which many people tend to overlook, I made the prediction.

I hope I made sense.

Visualize This!

I was researching on different concept arts and designs while at work today.
This particular idea was so funny I had to share it.

Behold... the Visualize Bat!

Up There

I have been thinking. Perhaps I may have put certain people on a pedestal. When I am theorizing and talking and thinking about them they seem to be ideal and praiseworthy. However when I encounter them in real life, they are not such a big deal after all. I think my mind has been building images of these people in the way I like or hope they would be but alas it is just me.

Wickend!

So last night I had dinner with Shawn, its our usual thing. We always have dinner on Friday nights only this time around we stayed on where we ate and played a beat-em-up game on his laptop till the batteries died. We then proceeded to my place to pick off where we stopped on my rig(desktop). Fun times!

* * * * *

I had lunch today with Marcus. My high school friend Marcus. Finally after years we managed to meet up and catch up on times. It was weird he showed up with a funky hairstyle which I thought he intended that way until much later he said that was how it was when he woke up. After lunch we ended up talking for so long until we realized that it was getting quite late. Yeah did not realize that we could talk so much about nothing for that long. Ah the good old days are back. I am quite happy that I have another close friend whom has returned to stay especially since he can drive too hehehe. I think he was trying to grow a beard/goatee. Seems more successful than most others I know.

* * * * *

On another story, I was supposed to hitch a ride with another friend to church tonight but apparent he got invited to go for a church's dinner event which is alleged to be for the Youth(the teen group in church) as well as the YA (the young adults whom are working group). A little inside information here. The Youth and YA group used to be very close holding projects together and the like until an incident which happened last year which caused the YA to keep their distance from the Youth as to avoid anymore unnecessary conflicts. Upon hearing that the YA was invited, I merely chaffed at the thought of it. I doubt the core members of YA would show up.

So yeah back on track, this dinner event is held at a certain someone's house. My friend mentioned that he was suppose to give me a ride to church and in response to the host, that I am also invited to come along. HAH! Like hell I would attend. After I was told not to bother that family by the host herself. The host presents herself as somebody righteous and walks a close path with God. The one who looks at me as if nothing happened, and if it did happen it was no big deal.

I cannot help but wonder if the host invited me knowing that I would not accept such invitation as well as her doing so for maintaining her reputation to those who are oblivious to the past. Other people are in fact oblivious because if word had gotten out the host would be viewed differently and not in a good way. Then again, I was always seen as a deviant and a bad influence in the church I grew up in anyway so I guess it is more of a disadvantage to one who does not hide one's true views and opinions.

Now I am not sure if I want to set foot in church tonight.

Insert Coin to Continue?

You know how in arcade games, where you are given a certain amount of 'lives' which allows you a limited of chances to continue through the game should you fail or die. When you have fully depleted your lives and unable to progress any further, a statement would appear asking if you would like to continue by inserting more coins to gain more credits for 'lives'.

I feel like it is time for me to insert coins to continue, to start again. Since I have a better understanding on how things work, I may be able to overcome them through the experiences prior and maybe I might get to the next level. No doubt it may be tougher than the previous level but such is life. One obstacle after another. It is to strengthen us, to enable us to be more experienced and learned in order for us to be able to handle even more difficult challenges ahead.

Drama here drama there. One turns musical. Another just ceases to exist. Fun times!

Bud Light - Swear Jar

Something worth watching. It is amazing how good commercials can get so much done within 1 minute.

An Online Culture

You cannot really consider yourself a part of the internet's real society if you have not experience this.

Here is a heads up. You will experience being Rick-Rolled!

Irony Is Ghey

I really gotta STFU sometimes... talk about ironic. These couple of days I have been so happy being able to finish my work at the office in good time and they always come back with more and more changes at the very last minute which makes me rush like hell to finish them, racing against dateline time.

Also another thing which was soooo ironic yet sad at the same time happened a couple of days ago, but I do not really want to go into details about it. A hint would be, something I was hoping someone did not find out, did find out but then even if that person knew the details of that something, it would be futile thus would destroy whatever little bit of hope that I have left. I rather that someone did not know and I could have this small little pathetic shred of hope than to reveal and totally lose everything.

God has a sense of humour. He probably is laughing at my expense.

Good God Almighty!

I finished the work before office hours ended!
Woohoo! Thank God! Thank my boss for sitting down with me going through the layout design.

Now I can rest for a while... I hope the clients are satisfied with the layout and bother me no more...

In other news, the weekend is coming yaaay! I can sleep longer and catch up on anime!
Speaking of this weekend, I think I will be getting fat(ter). Tomorrow night I am having dinner with Shawn at One Utama and on Saturday I will be having lunch with Marcus at One Utama as well. This is the Marcus from my high school who shares a similar wavelength in thinking as I. Although we are worlds different we share the same humor and that is what binds our friendship. Even our high school teachers gave up on us.

You know how some classrooms have tables paired in columns/rows? The table where I sat was already paired with one of my other friends. So Marcus who was sitting behind me, takes his table and places it next to mine forming a 3 column table. People would go like 'wtf!?' We'd go like 'Hi! Sup?' I miss those fun days. Not all of the high school days, but those fun times.

The Month of August

I actually posted a long and optimistic article here but a change of circumstances made me take back what I posted. Screw this.♠

Anagrams

I have been an efficient worker. I have no new incoming jobs at the moment in the office which allows me to take initiative to research for future potential jobs. Jobs which clients have not approved of wanting us to begin.

While researching, I also am playing around with fonts and combinations of letters to see if something nice could come out of it which led me to finding anagrams. I stumbled upon some anagrams which I thought were brilliant. Here are some of them:

Clint Eastwood: Old West Action
Desperation: A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code: Here Come Dots
Mother-in-law: Woman Hitler
Funeral: Real Fun
Howard Stern: Retard Shown
Debit card: Bad Credit
The Spice Girls: Crises Get Help
Fried noodles: Defines drool
O***a B** L***n: I be so damn anal
