The Wonderful Dark and Gloomy

It is nearing the end of the year, where the country experiences, what I would like to call "Malaysian Winter". Of course it wouldn't snow, though I wish it would, but it rains almost everyday and the sky is dark and cloudy.

"Now hold on!" You might say. Wondering why I would enjoy the darkness of the atmosphere as oppose to most people preferring a bright sunny day. Well it's pretty simple in that a sunny day has high probabilities of it being hot. I hate the heat. Who likes the heat? Burning up and sweating. Such a hindrance and inconvenience getting through the day... and night. Yes I am one of those really rare people that still has no air conditioner in my room.

Let me break it down for you. Rain and darkness. Why I like it.

The rain comes down on everyone without prejudice, being a blessing or curse to all of us. Most people would complain about it causing them problems like traffic jams and floods. If you really think about it, the rain does not cause jams and floods. It is the poorly planned "development" of the country that caused this. Think of the rain as showing the failures of the "system".

The rain clears the air of dirt and pollution, allowing us to breathe freely of clean crisp air. The air that is free, for you and me. It releases the heat trapped on the ground into the air cooling the temperature around us, providing a refreshing yet relaxing feeling of comfort, especially when we sleep.

Then comes the darkness. The darkness covers everything with the absence of light. Hiding every detail perceivable by the eyes. Which includes the ugliness and imperfections of people on their actions. Concealing them from view, allows for focus on other things which are more pleasurable to one's self. Just like the state of having the eyes closed, but this time having the same effect without needing to close the eyes. More power to those who are adapt at making their way through the dark. Familiarizing themselves with the way things are and not what the eyes perceive them to be.

It's beginning to feel like the most wonderful time of the year.

Love Thy Neighbour

Is the only thing from me actually crippling them with my bare hands.

How can the people speak of unity among ourselves and tolerance among each other when they are the very people who go against it? How can they demand or expect respect from others when they do everything that makes people lose respect for them even more? The people in this country are shit.

Tonight, few minutes ago. I was very close in committing a criminal offense. Rayn and I were turning into a narrow lane in my housing area where we were already half way through when this old man was slowly turning at the opposite end and proceeded to head towards us slowly. Now we were already more than half way through the lane now and I assumed that seeing he was slower he would reverse a little and give us way so that we can just get the hell out of there and on with our lives. Apparently assholes are still around irregardless of age. He just waited there for something to happen. He even turned off his lights.

I had enough of that shit so I got out of the car and went to speak with him. I could see fear in his eyes when I approached him.

I asked him what seems to be the problem.
He said we were in his way.
I asked seeing that we were already more than half way through the lane, if he would have been so kind as to just reverse a little and give us way.
He goes into defensive mode saying that he was in the lane first and that we sped through.
I told him that was not what I saw and still asked if he could be so kind as to give way seeing that he had a short way back to reverse.
He refused to budge reiterating the same thing over and over again.
He also said he was driving slowly into the lane when he saw us.
I told him at that time we were already in that lane when he was turning in slowly and since he was turning in slowly he could've just stopped and reversed a bit.
I told him it doesn't matter who's in the right or wrong and asked again if he would be so kind as to just give us way.
He kept quiet for a bit and reluctantly said he would.
That was when I snapped and said "You know what? Forget it. Sorry for bothering you."

And I got back in the car and asked Rayn to reverse all the way back. There was a car on the back of our lane waiting to turn in but couldn't and was observing the whole thing.

Of course words can't describe how angry I am with the people of this kind of mentality in this country. What makes me furious is that these assholes get away with it and there is nothing I can do about it. Fuck this country. Fuck the people in this country. I need to get out of here.

Me Like to Rock

Just woke up not too long ago. Had myself a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Feeling satisfied with the concert I had just been to last night. September 5, 2009 is when Michael Learns to Rock returned for a one night only concert at Genting Highlands. It was held in the "open air" Arena of the Stars.

* * * * *

We traveled with Marc and his sister, who were nice enough to drive us there as well as his other sister helping us to get good seats! Thanks again!

For some reason, it felt kind of fun traveling with them, especially the part where we stopped to get foodles.

On the way there, we stopped for a while to get some breaths of fresh air.

Once we arrived there, we noticed there were a lot of barricades and police around. I guess they were there to prevent from anything that would disrupt the show. We took a Coffee Bean break before entering the Arena. LOL bean break... Now it is very rare I order hot drinks at these places. I noticed that they topped our drinks with around 2 inches of foam. What a rip.

We got into the arena and waited a bit before the show actually started. When the lights went out and the voice over was making the announcement, welcoming us to the show. When he was about to present the performers, everybody was cheering so lively with anticipation when the announcer finished his line by introducing some Andrew Tan or something like that.

The crowds' cheer then gradually turn into jeering of boo's. I wonder how that guy must have felt. Obviously by now he was the opening act for the night. He sang a chinese song which most of us did not really care for.

All I noticed was that he was wearing something that looked like a blue rain coat. It was glossy and had a hood. It was bright blue!

The crowd did give him a good applause and cheering when he was finished. I guess we're all quite supportive of the local scene. Most of us anyways...

After that, we waited for a long ass while before anything happened. During this wait, they were playing some classical music(still identifying) which was pretty frickin' long. And only towards the end of that did Michael Learns to Rock finally appear. I was wondering if they were stopped by a certain political party or something.

Oh if you haven't already noticed, yes my phone camera is crap for capturing objects far away as well as with poor lighting. At least I have proof I was there. They started out with My Sleeping Child to everybody's delight. The lead guitarist, Mikkel Lentz was quite jovial and happy. We thought he was high or something.

Somewhere a third of the show, lead singer and keyboardist Jascha Richter went on a break while their new lady bassist, butchered one of mine and Rayn's favorite song, You Took My Heart Away. She sang too high and I predicted she could not do the bridge because it was even higher and I was correct. It was a teeth gritting experience. Oh well, I guess they wanted to give her the opportunity or something. We cheered for her nevertheless.

Jascha came back wearing a t-shirt with a leopard on it. Before this was wearing a suit. I guess he found out it was too formal and warm for our kind of weather. They proceeded to introduce to us newer songs from their latest album; Eternity. They were alright. I'm sure the fans were more interested in the older songs. It was then the bands' turn to go in the back for a break while Jascha did some solo songs with his Korg, which was quite good.

Somewhere towards the middle until the end of the show, there was this stupid reporter bitch who was sitting 2 rows in front of me (GD 101) . She was so busy taking pictures of herself and her friend. Pointing the SLR towards our direction and constantly blinding us with the flashes. Hey bitch, if you're reading this... you were there to cover the show on Michael Learns to Rock and not yourself. Also, how many photos do you need of yourself and friend? You were there for the fucking show. She even had 3 different cameras. A DLSR, a compact and her phone camera.

Speaking of cameras, many people brought theirs and were either taking photos or recording video. It clearly stated that no image/video capturing devices were allowed. The attendants were poorly equipped to handle such mass of pirates. Towards the end, they just didn't give a shit anymore which caused a whole lot of the fans to crowd at the foot of the stage for closer shots. Some retards actually took pictures of themselves a distance away with their backs to the stage. They were going for that pose "Hey look I'm at a [geographic location]!" Only that it was a fucking concert. Such respect to the performers...

There was one song which I couldn't remember, that Jascha confessed that was the only song that was of rock genre that they ever had in their repertoire. Jascha was pretty funny throughout the night while introducing songs every now and then.

Rayn and I were waiting anxiously for one of the songs which we noticed had not been played. Much to our excitement they did it as their finale; Paint My Love. Of course in most concerts it doesn't end just like that. They came back to do a couple more songs for the encore.

They did 25 Minutes much to the wild cheer and approval of the crowd. Towards the end of the song, Jascha did something funny where after one of the repeat of the chorus, he switched to Air Supply's All Out of Love chorus and said that it had the same progression, then switched back to the 25 Minutes chorus.

They then did Wild Women which I was hoping for because it was one of their more upbeat songs. They managed to make it more rock'ish whereby at the end they had just the drums and the crowd chanting the chorus.

Their final-final song was That's Why (You Go Away). Jascha tried to be funny saying it was a new song when he proceeded to play the piano intro. The crowds were going wild and then he said he was surprised that they knew it when the band didn't even know it. He continued to tease the crowd by playing a variation of tunes with the chord progression of the song. He finally started the song where everybody was singing along louder than everybody.

Needless to say, it ended wonderfully.

We were then herded out of the Arena like cattle. All in all it was good, there weren't any shitty people that were pushing around within the moving crowd.

The trip to Genting this time around felt more pleasant. I guess it is experiences like these that make people want to always return to the highlands.

If you are my age and listened to music. You would definitely have listened to a fair bit of their songs while growing up, especially during early high school days. Back then, I felt their songs were too clean cut. But now listening to their songs again, I have a new sense of appreciation for the songs, especially when listening to the lyrics. For me, their songs will be considered evergreen.

Hopefully for eternity.

A Sorrowful Say

What is this country coming to when citizens die under the custody of authoritative figures?

How is it that we are living in this place where crime is happening everywhere and being reported more frequently while nothing is seen to resolve them effectively. Now and then they talk about busting or crippling gangs and syndicates but they never ever have convincing coverage reinforcing these statements that are put in the news. This in turn leaves people plenty of room to speculate and assume the worst of the so called law enforcers.

All that is going on here make me feel like a second rate citizen in the country I was born in, in the country where I grew up with fellows of all ethnicity. Why are we being treated this way? What sin did we commit to deserve such treatment? Most of all, why do the "powers that be" just watch on and allow it to happen?

To some, human lives mean so little. However it would be a different story when it comes to their own and their loved ones. How can a man treat another person lesser than himself, when God created us all in His image? Remember, the person you harm and kill is somebody's child. Somebody's sibling, parent, nephew/niece, aunt/uncle, friend, spouse.

* * * * *

I look at what is happening to this country, I feel sad and angry for its state. I often ask God, what is the point to innocent people suffering and dying, without a chance to ever do good in their lives.

Idealistically I know the reason. However being only a mere human, with weaknesses and limitations, especially great awareness of my own limitations... I cannot see why. All I can do is wait, though as annoying as it is to continue suffer and watch other suffer worse, I fear that my turn might be near. It is come to the point where I do not even want get into any situation where it would involve the authority, even if I am in the right. The trust has been long gone, it started when word spreads about them accepting bribes.

We can only pray for our own safety and pray that the good that would come out of this makes the death of innocents, justifiable. Let not their deaths be in vain. Let our suffering not merely be a passing.

* * * * *

An innocent man that was led to his death, was a father. He was a woman's husband. He was a couple's son. A son that dedicated his life in helping a cause which he believed as I do, would make it a better place for us all. A son of the nation, who's life has been ended by the those that seek to oppress the people.

These people who died, did not fight back, being outnumbered and driven to their deaths. Are those responsible for their deaths, void of any conscience? Do the pleas of mercy from the victims not mean anything? What is the use of the judiciary and prison, when law is taken into their own hands. Why are they allowed to get away with such acts when the citizens cannot even protest peacefully!? To silence them is to be found guilty. The voices in the hearts and minds of the killers will not go away. For they are marked with the blood of the people whose lives they took.

Here is one small voice wishing condolences to the departed. Praying that justice would at least be done in their lifetime. Hoping to encourage others to strengthen their resolve. Hoping this will fuel others to persevere in doing their part in getting rid of the upholders of a faulty and corrupted system. Let not their deaths be in vain, for they are more reasons for us to soldier, together as one united nation irregardless of color and beliefs. For the greater good and equality for all. For all.

Spread the word, encourage people you know to do their part. Let the world be known of what is going on in the country today and that we have the power to change it.

I Hate Fat Bitches

With a title like that, it is surely to have people assume straightaway that I am prejudiced towards women who suffer from obesity. First of all, as Ricky Gervais said, obesity is not a disease. It is a choice of lifestyle. Second of all… It is not their physicality that annoys me. It is their blatant regards to being inconsiderate to everyone around them.

I believe I have written before about my encounters with them. Where at eating places they would hog the a large area of where the food is, blocking other people from accessing the food. Most of the time they are just standing there gazing at the food. You would think with their current condition they would just pick stuff up without any second thought and eat whatever that is on their plate anyway. Holding up traffic is never good.

Then there were other incidents where they would be waddling ever so slowly in the middle of walkways making it difficult to walk pass them. And what is up with this shit of standing in front of escalators? It is already a problem when people do it. What more when a fat person does it? GTFO!

Last week, while I was at the gym, I was waiting for a machine to be vacated where these two women were just sitting there and talking to each other, not even using the machines for their intended purpose. I would have used a vacated machine but there wasn't any. Two were used by those women for chatting. The third was being used by someone else. This is why you'll never lose weight.

Today while I was choosing dishes to go with my rice at the nearby Indian curry house, some woman decided to stand in front of me and looked at the food, blocking me. She took a good while looking at the food and guess what? She did not even have a plate with her!

After lunch, I went to the hypermarket to restock on groceries for the office. I bought a packet of milk, a small box of cornflakes, a packet of Chipsmore and a tube of Mentos. Count a long with me here. 1… 2… 3… 4… That is four items. I proceed to the express counter. The express counters have large signs in 2 languges that say 10 units or less.

Right in front of me was this fat bitch who had 12 cans of sweetened creamer, 2 bags of oil, 2 cartons of egg, 4 packets of laundry detergent and a packet of chili. If you need to calculate the total, you’re a dumbass. What pissed me off even more was that the cashier actually went on to check out her items. What bullshit.

I am not saying that only fat people are inconsiderate but let’s face it. They are generally harder to miss if you know what I mean.

Teeth Wisdom

I went to the dentist today. I was scheduled for a 1PM appointment, so I went there 30 minutes before. I had hopes that this time around the good doctor would be on time but to no avail. I could only assume that it was due to another local that messed up the entire schedule by being late thus creating a whole chain reaction for other people.

Upon arriving, I saw this woman sitting right in the middle of a 3 seat couch. There was 2 seat couch and a single seat separately. The single seat was closest to the toilet entrance and the 2 seat couch was occupied by a guy. What came to my mind straightaway was why was that bitch occupying the entire couch by sitting in the middle? I don't know about you guys, but I don't feel comfortable sitting that close to a woman that I don't know. I am sure that most women in this country wouldn't like guy strangers sitting that close to them as well. So I had to stand, until the guy on the 2 seat couch was next to see the dentist. I took over his spot.

Later on, two more women entered and that bitch was still sitting in the middle being oblivious. Until for some strange reason, intelligence struck her in the head and she decided to move over to the side seat to make way for those two women. Oh, she also did not have an appointment set up previously so she had to wait until the doctor was free. I was quite well aware of that from the signs that were going on.

So I was waiting to rage if she did actually went in before me. Thankfully she didn't. I hate inconsiderate people. I hate people that do not teach their children proper principles and ethics. I hate people that think they are entitled to having things done their way just because they exist.

* * * * *

Other than the dentist commenting on the improvement of my gums.

I had a little chat with the aunty at the reception that handles payment and appointments. I was talking to her about punctuality today. She naturally said that it is always because of one person who is late that messes things up for everyone else. I of course replied the obvious that it is in the culture of the locals and that it was terrible.

She was explaining how some people would have an appointment at time X, and they would only begin to leave their house at time X. So I again reiterated that it is a bad habit and deeply rooted within the culture here.

What caught me off guard was her saying that it was especially bad with Christians. That's right. She said it. I am not sure if she is one too, but I know the dentist is. Just hearing it from another person other than myself makes me laugh with delight to know that I am not the only one that notice such behavior among them. What was even better was that she said that some pastors are even worse that they expected to be attended to first despite being late and all.

I agreed by saying, it is worse in a sense that just because we are all Christians, some of these people tend to take advantage of it, expecting us to be super kind and helpful to them. Just because we're Christians. When you deny them of what they think is their entitlement, they quickly reveal their true colors by criticizing how bad example of a Christian you are. When all this while nothing has been said about their own attitude yet. I detest these people.

Just because we're Christians does not mean we should be easily taken advantage of. In fact, why are you fellow Christians trying to take advantage of your own kind?

Isabel Lucas on Rove

I used to watch Rove Live when I was studying in Australia back in the day a lot. I found it entertaining as one of the better things to look forward to on non-cable/satellite television. Occasionally there would be rare talents that I get to watch on the show, sort of like an introduction to me that broadens the exposure of different types of entertainment I know.

Though some people seem to hate Rove a lot, I think some of the stuff they do on the show is pretty funny. In this video, the Rove setting is new and different to me and I am not too sure why there are more people sitting around.

Another Candle Burnt Out, Legend Never Did

In my previous article, I wrote about how I started to appreciate music at a very young age. The age where I learnt to speak. It was through my interest of music which help me learn words and often at times had me asking my parents what the singers were singing and what they had meant.

One of the earliest artistes that I got to know was none other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I believe that nobody else I knew at that time was as interested in his songs as I was. The first song I heard from him and learned how to sing easily was the chorus from Bad. Other songs begun to slowly emerge in my shallow knowledge of music. These were the likes of Billie Jean, where he debuted his moonwalk. His awesome "anti gravity" lean in Smooth Criminal.

Black or White made sort of a bigger impact on me when the video showed on television. I can still remember McCauley Culkin starting the video and Michael Jackson being in many different countries doing different styles of dances and the famous face morphing scene towards the end, showing people of various ethnics.

I can still remember the first and with the best effects for a concert that I ever went to was the HIStory tour that had Kuala Lumpur as one of the destinations. It was in 1996 and I was 12 years old; Standard 6 Primary School. I went for the concert with my sister, where she also invited her friends to go along. I still remember that it was a Sunday because my sister and I would leave after church to meet her friends at Stadium Merdeka where it was held. Her friends were kind and crazy enough to camp out to be the first at the entrance of the stadium starting from 6 or 7 in the morning. We only joined them at around 1 or 2 in the afternoon bringing them food.

It was towards the opening of the gates where annoying assholes; meaning everybody behind us, were pushing us against the gates. As if killing us would make the doors open. In other lanes toward the other gates, people were falling down all over the place due to the people at the back trying to push forward. I seriously don't understand the logic until today. Being sensible we brought our own water bottles which we had to leave outside because the idiotic staffs at the gates said we were not allowed to bring plastic water bottles in because it was to prevent us from throwing it at Michael Jackson on stage. Yeah, most of us were only sitting at least 100 meters away. I am sure throwing bottles at somebody I paid money to watch was more important than making sure I don't die of dehydration.

The show was delayed so while waiting they were playing random songs through their sound system and there was one guy old white guy dancing around my side of the stadium to which caught the attention of the entire stadium and cheered at him. It drizzled a bit and I was praying like hell that it would not come to rain. Thankfully it didn't. The crowd got bored, after much chanting of wanting to see Michael Jackson, the crowd actually started doing the wave. From one end of the stadium to the other. We were equipped with our foam hand, at this point of time I realize that it could have signified Michael Jackson's right hand glove. We also had glow sticks which some us swung around on a string when we got bored that produced nice visuals. We were bored.

Of course eventually he came out and did his thing. The choreography as usual was always perfect except for one part when one of the back up dancers fell down while doing the "anti gravity" move during Smooth Criminal. Which was still entertainment. I remember my dad lending us our grandfather's binoculars to use as mentioned that we were seated far away. It was this huge relic that weighed like a brick and a half. Since it was huge, it also "zoomed in" pretty well.

All good things must come to an end. We left and made our way across the city from the stadium to Petaling Street. At night it seemed so different, I was following my sister and her friends going through alleyways as shortcut. I had not the slightest idea where we were going. All I knew at that time was to keep up with the group to rendezvous with my dad who was waiting somewhere to pick us up. That is as far as I can remember.

* * * * *

The media has made a lot of people believe a lot of allegations about Michael Jackson. I still find it amusing and sometimes annoying that people can easily believe any source with conviction just because they are from the news, mostly tabloids and internet articles.

I read an article that was relayed by The Malaysian Insider this morning and gained more insight on Michael Jackson's life and also come to agree with the writer in his views that I hope would dispel people's wrong perception of him.

I also hate the fact that people sought to make profits out of his death by selling his albums and merchandise.

If A Song Could Get Me You

I like how when I listen to a radio station or watch television long enough, I would actually come across some interesting songs that are worth adding to my playlist.

I was streaming Lite.FM yesterday and amongst the 80's music that they play, an unusual melody played and sounded very cute and... I don't know... endearing? It was Marit Larsen with her song from her current album and to me it had somewhat the essence of what made M2M. I guess she was the more cheerful happy one, if you compare it to the current Marion Raven.

Poetic Injustice

Marc is a somebody who shares my gripes and bitching about the idiocy that happens around here. He so happened stumble upon what the locals here call "poetry". Even he thinks they're shit; both poem and "poet". Oh Marc would like to point out that these people "only can write 'love' poems".

He decided to concoct up a poem from the top of his head which I thought was better than what most of them actually came up with. I did write an article bitching about it a long while ago.

Wonder Chicken

I wrote an article about BBQ Chicken last year, a Korean restaurant franchise. At that time the only outlet I knew was in Sri Hartamas; the rich people area. As time went on they opened in more places such as 1 Utama.

The three times I visited, I noticed an update to their menu which gradually improved. Now I am not sure if they have enough publicity or promotion going for the local one. I thought I would share this with you.



See why can't they make ads like these here?

F My Career Path

I was on my way to work when I an advertisement on the back of a taxi that was advertising a job seekers site with the tagline saying

"Even Web Developers Found A Job Here."

Now what the heck is that suppose to mean!? Also.. that's a very misleading and derogatory tagline.

Beef in the Outback Mate

Spent a lazy afternoon being lazy with Rayn, where we watched some animes and just talked throughout the day. We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner since I had special discounts there. Since the place was Bangsar, it obviously had a sort of standard you would not normally get elsewhere as they have to serve gwai lous there.

I started off with a cup of the soup of the day which so happened to be cream of chicken and mushroom. They also gave us complimentary Bushman Bread which looked so much like chocolate cake. It was such an optical illusion that my taste buds were going "Yup that is definitely sweet."

Pleasantly surprised that it tasted like normal bread. The soup was pretty thick and chunky. It had lots of meat and mushrooms and veges too.

Quite a while after, arrived Rayn's Sizzling Sirloin that smoked our entire table with an aromatic caramelized onion scent.

The smell of it somewhat reminded me of teriyaki as it was on a hot plate as well as with onions. It was supposed to be medium but due to the sizzling hot plate, it somewhat made it more medium-well. I guess the secret to this in the future would be ordering it medium-rare.

Finally it was my order. The No Rules Burger which had everything they had for their burgers, though I asked them to hold the BBQ sauce on mine. I don't really fancy BBQ sauce on burgers. By default it has beef bacon, swiss cheese, BBQ sauce, grilled onions, lettuce & tomato, pickles & onions, sauteed mushroom and american cheese.

There is just something different about Outback Steakhouse's beef patty that taste different from other places. I find that Chili's, Outback Steakhouse, Carl's Jr. and Wendy's all have distinct tastes in their beef which are all delicious in their own way.

Needless to say I was stuffed. Of course we walked around Bangsar Village for a bit and proceeded to the Gardens and Mid Valley as Rayn wanted to walk around more. Would anybody like to revisit with me the next time around?

I Am Old

My idea of a good weekend is doing nothing. Staying in my room and just having a large intake of information and entertainment from all around the world. The ability to access all of these with my hands, wonderful.

I am a fat ass.

Value for Wang

It is not my fault that the local ISP choose to have such vulgarities in their... packages. I was checking out some websites and came across an advertisement about "Wang Value". To my humourous surprise, it came from TM. It appears to be a business specific service.

Don't take my word for it. Check out the site yourselves. One of their offer for your wang is even a 3 Party Conference!

Full Frontal Stupidity

I hate stupid people.
I hate them so much.
How can they be that stupid?
How can they live being that stupid?
Some of them won't admit they are stupid.
Some of them take pride in being stupid.
Some of them think being stupid is cool.
Some of them think being stupid solves everything.
Some of them choose to be stupid in hopes of evading responsibilities.
Some of them give excuses to justify being stupid.
Some of them are stupid and they don't know why.
Some of them are stupid and they know very well why.
Some of them are stupid because their friends are stupid.
Some of them are stupid because their parents are stupid.
Stupid isn't strong enough a word to express their stupidity.

Go die in a hole.

This Guy Ain't for Mars

So ironic that whenever I want to look for a particular item, it is never there. It feels like the shop people are out to get me.

"Oh you want to buy it now do you? We'll take it off the shelves. See how you like that? Always coming around and looking but not buying..."

I was looking for some Transformers: Animated action figures but all they had were the Transformers 2 movie stuff. I guess the movie is near to release and they want to promote it as much as possible at the moment.

After a futile attempt I proceeded to get some milk to replenish my stock in the office. At that counter, I just realized I forgot to get myself a Snickers bar. Taking a step backwards to be able to see the aisle where the Snickers was, I said to myself "Nah man, you've gone too far." While waiting for my stuff to be checked out, I looked down and saw a Mars bar.

I decided why the heck not, since the last time I had it was in fact in Australia as well and I had forgotten how it tasted like. It was kind of disappointing. It tasted like a Snickers with no nuts. It was too smooth and creamy and the nuts were missing. Yup. I love my nuts. It's just not satisfying without them nuts.

On the side of the wrapper had a slogan that read "A Mars A Day Helps You Work, Rest and Play." Sometimes I wonder what went through the mind of these marketers. The only thing I know it would help is with artery clogging and maybe diabetes.

* * * * *

Me: So Rzeznik earlier told me he got a ticket when he parked his car outside his student's house for 12 minutes.
Marc: Wtf? What was he doing there for 12 minutes? Why only 12 minutes?
Me: ... It only takes him 12 minutes?

In unison: oOoOoOOOoOOo

I kill myself.

Memories Come Crashing

I had a lot of memories at the Jaya building. As far as I can remember when I was few years old, that was one of the few places I ever knew to have a gaming arcade as well as a toyshop that had consoles for you to pay to play per hour.

Of course there were bad memories there as well, during a session playing the consoles there, I had actually lost my wallet which had even more memories in there, not to mention money of different currencies given to me by my mom. I was very upset about it especially because the wallet was a gift to me by my aunt in Singapore. I could not get over it for a while. That painful experience only made me strengthen my resolve to never be so careless to lose my possessions ever again.

Through the years the memories of experiences in that place became more and more ordinary, more trivial. I guess that was part of growing up. Farewell old Jaya. Hopefully you are built better and stronger.

Just Another Meh-nic Monday

I don't know why I keep writing about food. I guess it is something easy to write about as well as taking pictures of them since I am already there at the time. Subway appears to have raised their prices. Just when I felt like having a non-Sub-of-the-Day. Oh well the Steak and Cheese will have to wait some other time. Fortunately the Sub of the Day still remains at the same price. For now... if they dare raise the price, I will be avoiding them again.

Yes I am a poor man. I can't afford higher than average costing meals on a regular basis. The other problem is that cheap food in this country are not that healthy either. It is hard to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle while being poor in this country.

I miss the time when I was in Australia, I could eat all the food that was deemed unhealthy by my parents, and I still lost weight and even grew taller.

I feel like having a Snickers bar.

Moving along, it was almost back to normal at 1 Utama today where annoying humans were not overcrowding the place as well as taking up parking spaces. I guess some sort of holidays are over. Good riddance. Everything is peaceful once again.

Fail Foundry

I know I am very creative with article titles. Nothing much happened during this weekend. Though I am proud to announce that I managed to get Hamachi working again and my friends and I were playing Demigod a bit.

Photo linked from www.foodpoi.com

Rayn and I had dinner with my parents. My mom wanted to try the Food Foundry which I think was another less than a satisfying experience. My boss wrote a review here about 2 years ago and he seemed to have been kind with his ratings. Perhaps it was still decent back then. What I found amusing was that he wrote that the pasta was oily which was what Rayn said about her's, though it was a different dish.

Upon arrival we were given some makeshift menu. I assume they were trying to be creative but it did not "win me over". Looking at the prices of the dishes there, the first thing that came to my mind was the statement being that the food had to be really good or it had to be a rip off. Sadly, the latter was true.

I ordered the Food Foundry Chicken Chop while Rayn ordered the Penne Arrabiate and my parents had some rice dish with chicken. The chicken chop arrived, I was less than impressed. In fact the three letters of "double yoo tee eff" was having a rerun marathon in my head.

The portion of the chicken was small. It was accompanied by a sparingly amount of mash potatoes with some gerkins and brinjal. They were all very conversative servings. The chicken was not tender, it was lumpy and everything on the plate tasted bland. The watery sauce was doing it's best to provide flavor for all of it.

The waiter then brought Rayn's pasta. The waiter serves her the pasta and says to her that they ran out of penne so they substituted it with spaghetti instead. They assumed she would be okay with it and just served it to her face. That kind of pissed me off. What kind of establishment serves you something you did not order? Looking at it, the pasta sauce looked really runny and she commented that it was oily.

My parents' order were up next. The ironic thing was, their chicken servings was larger than mine. Theirs looked like some gourmet chicken rice. Just chicken, a few slices of cucumbers and the rice.

I actually saw frames of newspaper reviews about this place on their walls. Sometimes I wonder if there are shady things going on that actually get establishments like these publicized in newspapers.

Final thoughts are, The Mage Cafe serves tastier food with better portions at cheaper prices. Which will be my future review in weeks to come.

Dinner Overseas

Playing Demigod was fun until I realized it was 4am in the morning and I had a family dinner later in the day. It was my maternal eldest aunt's 60th birthday and they decided to have it at Overseas Restaurant. In Sri Petaling. Like it's name, it was far far away. My dad also decided to make the length of the journey even longer by taking roads cutting through housing areas instead of the highway.

Along the journey where we headed into Rzeznik's area and his kind, we passed by a few interesting road names. First we saw Jalan Lazat (Delicious Road), followed by Jalan Nyaman (Refreshing Road). Then we saw Jalan Hujan Emas... which in English was Golden Showers Road. Gross and ended with Jalan Perisa (Flavor Road). Seriously... Golden Showers? Whoever thought of road names in this area was really having a go at it.

The dinner was alright, the typical over expensive yet somewhat high quality X course dinner. Here are some highlights of the evening that was unique.

The ever imperative 4 seasons. This was one of the nicer variety I have had. Even by looking, it already looked appetizing.

Then there was the typical dishes that followed. Sharks fin, barbecue pork, fish, vegetables and so on. One of the two desserts was the most intriguing course of the night.

Rayn mentioned that this dish was actually in the event when the dinner is to celebrate somebody of old age where the designated person is to officiate it by breaking it (I think) where there are more pau's in there where all the other relatives of younger generations are to eat. I felt so tempted to wear it on my head.

One of my cousins and I were tempted to mutilate this wonderful craftsmanship but eventually could not bring ourselves to do it. It was carved from a carrot. A very huge carrot.

Total Eclispe of the Heart

Ever since I watched Futurama where there was one episode Kip sang the famous line from this song, I tend to find it funny everytime I hear this song as well as reminding me of how cheesy 80s music and videos could be.

I've seen other "literal" videos before but this one was quite funny too.

Behold Thy Incoming!

This year feels like one of the more eventful years I have ever had or can remember. For starters my beloved came back to me from across the sea. Though she should not have left me in the first place... Yeah I'm rubbing it in.

Having a safe and steady salary income is always welcomed and a blessing as well. Thus allowing me to build up wealth which in turn allows me to buy stuff. I am not the typical person of no strong will that would blow their cash on anything base on impulse and whim.

I can say almost every item I purchase is always done with meticulous research and analysis to ensure it is a purchase well made. Given bad experiences of purchasing stuff that don't always deliver as marketed. I am sure most of you as well have experienced purchasing items and as time went on, they seem to get more lackluster with each passing day.

Oh well enough about reflections.

Behold the list of things to look forward to for the second half of 2009!

• Sony HDR-XR500E (Hopefully sometime next month)
• Street Fighter 4 PC (Tentatively July 7th)
• An air conditioner for my room (Sometime in this lifetime)
  
• Blizzcon 2009 (August 21st to 22nd)
  
• Windows 7 (Tentatively October 22nd)
• A New Rig (Sometime after Windows 7 is out)
  
• Left 4 Dead 2 (Tentatively November 17th)
• Starcraft 2 (Speculations end of this year)
• A Laptop (When I recover from getting the camera and the rig)
  

I am sure there are more which I have forgotten but that is quite a decent load of stuff to look forward to so far for this year. Speaking of welcoming the new stuff... I think I need to clear stuff in my room. Whenever my friends think of me, the first thing they think of is the mess in my room. It looks like a storeroom. My excuse has always been easy access to stuff like computer parts whenever I need to fix stuff; with harddisks here and tools there.

I need to clear stuff in my room to make way for newer stuff. I don't even know where to begin.

Relationsheep (Part Two)

Image is for illustration purposes only. Maybe...

I don't know why I keep going back there to read stupid dumb threads like a crack addict. Addicted to substance that kills your brains.

Have a read of this.

If you're too lazy to read that, here is my view and summary.

19 year old girl likes this 20 year old guy. Guy treats girl like crap and soon breaks up with her. Girl feels sad, so she resorts to hanging out with her friends. She enjoys hanging out with her friends because they do fun stuff together, including being a photography model for her friend.

Guy comes back and wants to take her back. She gladly accepts. Guy is now overprotective and possessive of the girl, not liking her to go out anywhere especially being a model for the photography sessions. Sometime in the relationship guy tells girl that he left her for another girl but now is back with her again. He also says things like he broke up with her to teach her a lesson. Says things like she will forever be a baby to him and it seems as though he has to control her every move.

She states in the thread, that breaking up is not an option and that she loves him very much. Despite him being a lousy piece of shit.

Can you actually believe there are people like these that exist? True that the girl may be admired for her unrequited love. However I think it is wasted on the wrong person. How can she not see that he is treating her like badly? Perhaps she has not experienced better relationships.

The core question remains, which is... Why would anybody want to love somebody who treats them like shit?

Trolley Train and Super Rings

While I was walking to work yesterday, some wankers thought it would be funny doing this...

I bet they thought they were bloody considerate, doing everyone a favor by stack em in one corner, far away from their origins.

* * * * *

During lunchtime today I went to the hypermart to get milk. Passing by one of the aisles I could not believe what I saw. It was none other than...

SUPER RINGS!!! I haven't eaten these in a long while. These have been around as far as I remember, which was way back in primary school. A small pack would only be 20 cents. These were my version of Cheetos. I'd eat it and have my fingers all coated in orange residue. It tasted awesome and it was light. My favorite junk food of all time!

Relationsheep (Part One)

Ah... relationships the ever so popular necessity that every young person wants. Most of them if you ask, will not even know why. They will not be able to give you good compelling reasons why they want a relationship. Stopping there would have prevented from anymore folly.

However when you ask them what about their partner or the person they are going after, attracts them. What qualities do they possess that makes you love and appreciate that person. Most of them will not have an easy time answering. Some people even go "Sigh, I need a girlfriend..." It is as though having a girlfriend is like acquiring an object for their pleasure, or like a pet. Like a being they can interact with at their leisure and discretion.

Some people are motivated to get a girlfriend/boyfriend so that they will not feel left out within their circle of friends. They feel that having a partner eliminates them from being classified as some sort of loser.

You know what, I don't really care anymore about your reasons as to wanting to have a partner.

What I don't get is... why would people treat the one they love, badly? Why would they scream at their partner or throw tantrums? Why do they threaten them? Why do they expect or force them to feel guilty and make them "pay" for it? Is that what love is?

I am sure some of you have read about the latest scandal that happened in the country that involved a young foreign model and a local royalty. Whereby the latter mistreated and abused the former so badly that she had to escape, fortunately with the help of authorities... of a neighboring country. I don't know about you, but if I was married to a young model 14 years younger than me, I would treat her so preciously. In these days who would want to marry somebody who is 14 years older than them, if they did not have money or power? So yeah think about it... instead of being grateful and appreciative (I went to school!) he abuses her. There is seriously something wrong with him.

What about those girls that treat their guys like slaves or ATMs? I've heard excuses from girls before that go something like "If you love me, you would [insert action here] for me." They never ever show their "love" for their guys in return. Ever. If they were trying to prove they did, it is usually because it was on their way. A matter of convenience for them to ride on.

Why do girls expect their guys to do certain things for them? As though it is mandatory in relationships? If you ever want to point out that your partner is not "doing enough" for you, you better be able to back up that claim with what you have done for your partner. If you can't, well then just stfu. You are in no position to make any demands. There shouldn't even be any demands from either sides.

Failwich

I used to have this mindset of not patronizing sandwich bars because they essentially overcharge you for a lousy portion. That is usually the case around here. Today I decided to try out this new sandwich bar that opened within my office's building square.

It is called the Big Fat Bird. Despite it's name being all funny and cute. I think they're more of big fat noobs. I tried out their set lunch. It was suppose to comprise of a sandwich, a side and lemonade. This is what it looked like when it arrived.

Obviously I felt that I have just got ripped off just like after I make a donation to people saying they represent certain causes. The 3-bread sandwich had one flat layer of meat and one flat layer of cheese on the bottom tier, while having some lettuce and tomato in the second tier. The side was lettuce and tomato. Double-yoo-tee-eff mate? Pull the other one! Looks to me as though I should have been paying half of what I did for it.

I already knew it was a bad omen when they served the lemonade in a small glass without straws or serviettes or anything. They also gave me some coconut jelly thing in a small sauce cup saying that it was on the house. It was just some santan-ish flavored jelly with some coconut flesh in it.

I felt like I was a judge for some business project presentation by college students. Except that I had to pay for this experience. I really should have gotten a hotdog from 1901 or a Subway sandwich today. Screw this whole trying out new stuff bollocks.

Subway and Snickers

Ta-da! Yet another article about food... sigh... life is really getting boring when the only exciting thing I actually care to write about is food. Anyhow without further ado... I had Subway for lunch today. Subway has this "Sub of the day" promo where you can get a different sandwich each day for the promotional price. I think it is good and keep things interesting as well as motivating customers to try their different sandwiches. Today's was tuna.

The breads that they offer at the local Subway are Italian (which seems to be the basic kind), Wheat, Honey Oats, Hearty Italian and Parmesan Oregano. Previously I had always gone for Parmesan Oregano but last week, I decided to try out the Honey Oats as it looked more... fibrous based on the picture. True enough it was! It was much more filling and satisfying too!

If only they had Italian Herbs and Cheese like they do in Australia, that was good stuff. Also in Australia I would have their "local menu" chicken fillet. It is basically chicken fillet like in fastfood chicken sandwiches with the veges and dressing of your choice.

If Subway was cheaper, I'd definitely pull a Jared.

* * * * *

After lunch I proceeded to do some grocery shopping since my boss asked me to help buy him bread. I got myself a carton of fresh milk, orange juice and a Snickers bar. I haven't had Snickers in ages...


The only time I remember having some was probably when I was still studying in Australia. Eating it after a long while... just made me realize how "heaty" it made me feel. Although it tasted as nice as it always did, it just somehow lost its appeal to me. Maybe it was because I was already quite full from lunch. Get some nuts!

Chicken or Fish?

Wow, I have been writing reviews of food a lot recently. I hope it doesn't depict me as a glutton going around eating everything.

Today I returned to Igentis for lunch. Such an odd name you don't hear everyday or anywhere else. It sells Chinese and Western food. Some sort of a little cousin to the likes of Esquire but in no way related.

I tried the yang chow fried rice today and it tasted pretty decent. Unfortunately the kind of taste which could be gotten at places that have good dai chow.

Last week however, being there for the first time, I decided to try something that was pretty hard to screw up. I ordered their combination of chicken chop and fish. Not expecting much based on the photos shown in their menu, I actually was pleasantly surprised by the real life portion when it arrived at the table.

It was huge! Bigger than I expected. Not that I am complaining. Their salad was fresh as well! Though as generous as it may seem, I really could have used less salad dressing. Felt so fattening. There was nothing super special about the taste, it was pretty generic stuff however the most important part was that it was not bad at all.

I shall be return to try out their other dishes.

Lunchtime at the End of May

I came across an article regarding people and the four-letter-word-book. Now I have never used fishbook before, but I know damn well what it is about due to a sordid experience with an older online community crap service that also started with the letter F. Knowing that it is highly unlikely that majority of the population would change for the better, it should still not be too far off.

I present to you... the article that explains 12 kinds of people on fudgebook. The depressingly yet amusing thing is, I really do know people in real life who are like that. Perhaps it shouldn't have been kinds of people, but characteristics forkbook users possess.

You know who you are.

Steak 300!

Sounds like an electric appliance or a Spartan diet. It is actually the name of the meal at a place no other than William's. It is a roadside operation behind the old Lim Kok Wing education premises in Taman Mayang. It has been there for a while. Tonight was my second night being there whereas the first was years ago. The first time I went there I was not that impressed having to pay a higher than usual price for hawker western food. This second time around was not so bad.

Rzeznik wanted to try out William's. Not sure where he heard it from, I was told by Ewokie that William is the brother of the dude that is running Murni in SS2. Where Rzeznik ate on Sunday night resulting in frequent trips to the toilet through out the whole night afters.

Before I left my office, I decided to do a little research on William's to see if there was any helpful information or recommendations of what to order. I came across Azuan Zahdi's blog where he mentioned that he ordered a Steak 300 (tiga ratus), supposedly the steak being 300 grams. From the picture he took, it did not look anything out of the ordinary. I assumed it was called that to specifically ask for a little bit more meat.

So us trio (with Marc) ordered the same thing since we couldn't be bothered finding out what they had, as they did not have a proper menu and the waiters there were not really too helpful in explaining what they had or if they had specialties or recommendations. So yeah the Steak 300. To start off we ordered our drinks.

I had the large watermelon juice, while Rzeznik and Marc had a large honeydew juice and Ribena juice respectively. All of our drinks had longan in it. Probably their way of justifying charging so much for the damn drinks. Apparently Ribena longan there is a popular order.

Could not be bothered to take a really nice shot of the food as it was really warm and dark there. What appeared before us was something we did not expect. The portion of the steak was HUGE. I could imagine a chunk of meat that came off the cow. The size looked like something that was fed to tigers. The steak was tender and juicy although due to its huge cut, it was resembling something more of roast beef. Still it was nice. The steak came with a separate plate of a bowl of mushroom sauce (with real mushrooms!), a quarter cob of corn, a whole baked potato with meat stuffings and onion rings. All of us had difficulty finishing it.

I mentioned how the purple colored longan looked like artificially colored... something else. Well I was kind of surprised when they told us how much our dinner cost. Could have been worse I guess. All in all it was still cheaper than just one steak at The Ship. Remembering that the steak was indeed huge, I guess it was not so bad after all. Although I am not likely to return.

Two things to point out that I already warned Rzeznik before going there. It was hot there as they did not have fans or anything to keep the place cool. Also the area as usual reeked of garbage and drain.
