Last Blog Of My School Days.

2004-10-26T15:59:00.001+08:00

It's finally coming to perspective.

The exams are about a week away. Everyone is getting nervous, i hardly get to see anyone now. The ones who were close to me have kept quiet and have actually been studying 24/7 while leaving me alone. Therefore, I have been hanging around with my alternative options. Not that I mind, but its just not the same. I miss the Jack Off Jill crew.

Nothing is for certain after the exams. My future, my friends' future, and wether or not we will still meet. In a way i'm looking forward to the free time, but i'm also regretting not savouring and cherishing the times we've spent. I guess you'll never know how much you loved something until its gone, I just had to learn that the hard way.

I gave a testimonial to the other members of the Jack Off Jill crew, in hoping this will come to realization for them as well and maybe help us get through what lays upon us in a smoother fashion. What I dont want is for us to accidently bump into each other in a mall or something saying "long time no see", exchanging business cards and never calling each other. That was the path my parents have taken but its not going to be mine, not if i had anything to do about it.

After thinking all this over, it made me realize how important this exam really is. It can make us or break us. What we shall be or what we could be are all determined by 9 crucial days of mental stress. Unfortunately for myself, I dont think I have been studying enough. The lack of friends around me recently have left me dead on the inside without any motivation to work harder for the better. I have no idea how everyones preparations are going, but I know mine has been shit. Hopefully my overall results will raise just a little higher than what ive got in my trials and achieve my current spm goal - no c's.

All this thinking have left me depressed a little. I'm going to go watch tv and let my mind forget my troubles. I'll be picking up my spm slip tomorrow and I hope to get to see everyone before the big day on November the 4th. For my other friends from different schools, even though I might have not been as close to you all as I am with my school friends, I still wish all of you the best of luck, just as much as I do my closest of buds. To all my skating friends, hopefully I shall see you all after spm.

Let this blog rot until the day i decide to write again. Goodbye.

The Official Language Of Europe.

2004-09-23T21:06:00.000+08:00

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which heavily lobbied to be the official languauge and was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish."

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c" . . . Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favor of the "k." This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased with the "f." This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mess of the silent "e's" in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

By the 4th yar, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and the "w" with "v."

During the fifz yar, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After ze fifz yar, ve vil hav a realy sensibl vriten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evryvun vil find it easy tu understand each ozer.

ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!

We live in a beautiful world.

2004-08-31T23:53:00.000+08:00

Earlier this evening, i read Buyot's blog. His latest entry, was definitely something i was familiar with. I myself did not/am still not have/having a normal childhood. As some of you might know, my parents were divorced when I was at the tender age of 5. Perhaps it was better that they separated and went on their own paths back when i was younger, as my sister and I did not have any idea of the on-goings at the time. Had they got divorced when we were more mature, im sure we would have been more emotionally affected. Unfortunately, an image of my parents in their bedroom shouting, screaming and yelling at each other still haunts me to this day and sometimes leave me sleepless at night.

About an hour ago, after putting down this book i bought at Ikano Power Centre's Popular Bookstore, i switched on the television in my room for some easy viewing. I am not sure of the show's name and 8tv's website is kinda a bitch to browse through, but it was about a lawyer slash matchmaker starring Alicia Silverstone who is a bombshell. On this one case she worked on, she helped this guy get some custody of his newborn child that his ex-girlfriend has given birth to. At the end of the show, the guy got what he wanted. When he held his son for the first time, in slow motion and with Coldplay's "The Scientist" playing, I swear i fucking teared. Perhaps it was what i read in Buyot's blog helped generate it.

Perhaps it was the fact that i want what that guy was experiencing. Fatherhood is, in fact one of the greatest joys a person can experience. I want to be a father. Obviously, i am too young at the moment, but I am sure as hell i want to provide my child the few things my father failed to provide me. I want to make sure, that my children gets to live a normal childhood. I want him/her/them to love life.

In the words of Chris Martin "We live in a beautiful world." Let's show the world what that's all about.

Priceless

2004-08-29T18:28:00.000+08:00

knicked off friendster from izrin's bulletin

This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson University. It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it.

It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.

After the wedding at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding. He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.

As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift just from
him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding party, was a manila envelope. He said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their envelope.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex with the best
man. The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective
to tail them.

After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "Fuck you!". Then he turned to his bride and said "Fuck you!". Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm outta here."

He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning.

While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong. His revenge...making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members.

This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think we might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of this?

Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and friends = $32,000.
Wedding photographs commemorating the occasion = $3,000.
Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in Maui = $8,500.
The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride humping the best man = Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy.
For everything else there's MASTERCARD

Fortunate few?

2004-08-28T15:02:00.000+08:00

I got this straight from The Star Online:

"Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Defence Minister and chairman of the Cabinet Committee on NS, said those enlisted should feel fortunate to be picked from a pool of 471,376 individuals. "

FORTUNATE? if anything, i pity those who got chosen. They randomly chose 85,000 people attend national service. thankfully, i didnt get chosen. phew. haha. i know a few people who got chosen though, and theyre not too happy about it. happy or not, they still have to go through it. at least its not as bad as singapore's and thailand's version of the ns.

if you still dont know wether or not you got chosen, you can check out the official national service website here

i also read that if you dont attend, you will be punished as you are going against the law. thats right, they made it a law that you HAVE to attend the thing if you get chosen. if you dont, then they can sentence you to half a year in prison, a fee of rm3000 ringgit or both. but even after the sentence, you still have to go through national service in the following year. fucked up.

...of old friends and new finds

2004-08-27T17:48:00.000+08:00

I met Meor today. god its been a while since ive seen him. hes so skinny man. serious, its like hes not eating enough. guess, the mckk food must really suck. but it doesnt make much sense, cause my dad was from mckk and look at the size of him. hmm. haha anyways, after prayers me, meor, fadh, bidi, ayam, and zak went to aunty junes for lunch. i had the pineapple fried rice. yumm. haha i ordered 7up, with ice but they gave me 7up ice instead. oh well, haha. after that i went to parade to ask the camera shop bout the nikon service centre in pj and shit, but thats not interesting.

what was interesting today was, when you think about it, all of us (me and my friends) have changed a lot through the years. myself for an example, i was really chubby during high school and im a lot leaner than i used to be haha. some of us have also started smoking, im not saying any names tho. hehe. our attitude overall have also changed. like some of us that used to be really active are now really quiet and kinda anti-social. the losers like myself last time are more socially-inclined now haha. well, i guess its how you want to lead your life. you lead the life you choose. if something is blocking you from doing what you want, you should jump the hurdle and proceed to the gate. dont let anything block you. its your dream and noone elses. quite a bit to think about eh?

today i found the song that brooke howard smith and dustin latimer sang at the end of vg20 roots. its called arizona by fierce asian gang. weird name for a band but hey whatever they want. i also think its funny how the initials of the band can spell fag. haha. so hey the song is awesome and you guys should definitely check it out. dont think you can find it on kazaa or limewire though. heres the link for the guys that wanna check it out. http://www.landscape.org.nz/fag/

i havent got an answer from her yet. i dont wanna seem pushy and keep asking her for it so im just gonna keep quiet. lets hope she even remembers. or hope that she reads this ;P haha. i read her blog this morning and it kinda helped explain some things for me. i just wished she had told me about it earlier. i've gone through a lot of shit trying to get her, and ive kinda reached a point where i just cant handle much more shit. so if she says no, i think im ready to let her go :-/ at least, my mind will be at peace once again after that eh?

it seems you can check wether or not you get chosen for national service. the papers however, states that you can only check on saturday (tomorrow) . but i still sms-ed my ic number, hoping that i would get an answer now, but nope, no answer. guess i'll wait till tomorrow for an answer then. i dont wanna go into the first batch though, i wanna go in the second batch. the first batch starts on the 13th of december till the 6th of march if im not mistaken. thats right after spm. - - - are you kidding me? i dont want to go for national service straight after months of studying and pure mental torcher. its not that i mind doing all the excercises and what-nots, its just too damn soon. they should have given us a little gap for us to release the tension before putting us through some more hoops. dumb government.

oh well, that's it for today, i'll try to fill some stuff in for the weekend or before the party at subang parade on the 30th. i doubt i will but i will try my very best. so im off to go watch the new dvd i just bought which was monty python and the meaning of life. it should be good. i really enjoyed monty python's life of brian and monty python and the holy grail. hehe. oh and just now, i redeemed the coffee bean card with all the stamps i collected, and got a regular ultimate mocha for only a buck and five cents. damn good deal. yay for me. ahah thats it. enough. bye all.

haha, im listening to bubba sparxxx right now. the funny thing is, hes white, hes a redneck, hes fat, his name is BUBBA, but he can rap, hes not great, but hes alright. and i enjoy it. its weird. like, the only hiphop/rap music i listen to is like deltron 3030, sage francis and shit like that, funny how i can enjoy this poppy piece of bullcrud they call a song. yeah hypocritical of me eh?

i asked her to be my date for prom. and what do i get? not a no. not a yes. she says shes juggling people right now. uh huh. great answer to give. and shes only gonna give me an answer tomoro, so i guess im not sleeping tonight. yay! david lettermans on so its okay i guess. what else is good on regular television on a thursday night? oh well, i'll check the papers later.

oh, i read in the papers about the first national service intake. the first intake is on the 13th of december. you can check if your chosen for the first intake on the national service website this saturday the 28th here i hope i dont get chosen for the first intake, cause i wanna attend the proms!!! thats the highlight of december. fucking government.

thats all for now i guess, today wasnt as boring as yesterday, actually today was pretty fun. so im not gonna complain. im gonna continue eating the tempura fish the maid cooked (thanks aunty emilia!) and probably continue chatting. oh if you wanna add me on msn, its "iglue_is@sexmagnet.com" thats my email address as well if you wanna email me for god knows what. just no viruses k thx. haha.

i watched harold and kumar goes to white castle a couple days back with my cousins. seriously one of the best movies of the year, beating eurotrip for me. but the movies i like are all dumb with stupid jokes anyways, like at one point these dumb posers asks kumar, "what kind of a name is kumar anyways? what is that? like 5 o's or 2 u's? what happened to good old american names?" i seriously laughed my ass off at that, haha but it could be because i was as stoned as a rock so i dunno.

well, im gonna go stare at the ceiling now, so goodbye. if you happened to be as bored as i am call me at 012-3392620. really, i dont mind, talk to me. please.

What a Dumbass

2004-07-20T13:35:00.000+08:00

Plugging in : The Used - Buried Myself Alive

SHEFFIELD, England - A man who shot himself in the groin after drinking 15 pints of beer and stuffing a sawed-off shotgun down his trousers was jailed for five years Tuesday for illegal possession of a firearm.

David Walker, 28, underwent emergency surgery after the March 6 incident in Dinnington, northern England. Tests were continuing to learn if Walker would be left infertile, his lawyer Gulzar Syed said.

“He still feels quite severe pain,” Syed told Sheffield Crown Court, adding that some pellets still were lodged in Walker’s groin area.

Walker had admitted one charge of possession of a prohibited firearm at a previous hearing.

Prosecuting lawyer Andrew Hatton told the court Walker had gone home to get the shotgun after arguing in the pub with lifelong friend Stuart Simpson about whose turn it was to buy a beer.

As he was returning to the pub, which had closed by then, he accidentally fired the weapon.

“He had it shoved down his trousers,” Hatton said. “After the shotgun had discharged he placed it in a rubbish bin and crawled back to his home.”

Walker told officers he was so drunk he had no idea how he managed to shoot himself and why he had gone home for the gun.

Judge Robert Moore said recent legislation regarding banned weapons meant he had to impose the statutory five-year minimum sentence.

“The shooting of yourself is plainly an exceptional circumstance which is capable of reducing the sentence,” Moore said. “But in this case, I am quite certain, it does not justify reducing it below the statutory minimum.”

Ever seen that maxis commercial where that guy takes a picture of that really cute chick(who i wouldnt mind getting acquainted with)in that train then sends the pic to all his friends and all...yeah, that one. Well, i met him last Saturday and i must express my feelings about how, heterosexually challenged i think he is.

I was in Help institute for a school magazine workshop entitled "How to produce a first class magazine". I attended the same event last year and i did not recollect any memory about any funny looking/acting guys. So it kind of came as quite a shock to me when he started the event. He was the emcee for the day along with another girl whom i forgot about. Kash kind of took the limelight all to himself.

So anyways, from the beginning right to the very end, i just couldnt stop cracking jokes about him. Then at the end of the event, during picture taking time, he decided to reach his arms and put it on our shoulders. I was really trying my best to keep a "straight" face. However, as scared as i was while taking the picture i was kind of happy that i have now got stories and proof to show to everyone (including my grandchildren) about gay men.

Welcome to the 21st century, where gay men run free.

All i see are a bunch of 16-17 year olds answering the question "Are you in love?" as yes. Well, if you did i hope you get married soon and dont bother inviting me cause i predict a 2 year marriage ending with a divorce. Sad but true, hey my parents had me when they were in their twenties. Look at them now.

Answer me a few questions:

1) How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you had?
2) How many times have you said the sentence "I Love You" to them?
3) Have any of your so called "relationships" end with a crying sob sob sobbing breakup?

If you answered the first question as 3 or more, and the second one as all of them, haha youre so stupid you dont even know it. And if you answered the third one as yes, then i hope youve gotten over it. If you have, I hope you realised how stupid that all was crying over someone this young haha youre dumb haha i cant stop laughing at you haha.

Phew i got it out. I swear though, if i read another guy/gal going i love...sipulan sipulan the love of my life together for now, 5 days 3 hours and 24 seconds im going to fucking freak out. Not like it's any of my business, but hey im a prick.

"CNN said initially that they were sure the voice was NOT al-Zarqawi. The CIA however confirms that it is."

"In May 2002 Zarqawi traveled to Iraq. He had his leg amputated and had a prosthetic limb to replace it. So - for a guy with ONE LEG al-Zarqawi is VERY NIMBLE on his feet!"

"Do I see WHITE SHOES? Wonder how he keeps them clean running around the Iraqi desert?"

Best Sunday In A Long Time.

Plugging in : Taking Back Sunday - Your Own Disaster

Regardless of the exams that i have tomorrow, today i had a blast. Haha i know my friends are going to be jealous as hell. I went to Ikano Power Centre for the second time today and i was really overwhelmed by the amount of stuff available for purchase even though the amount of shops that was present was countable. Unlike klcc, the shops here actually have substance, theyre big, and they will most probably have what you want.

The Apple shop here, is the biggest showroom they have in all of Asia. Frankly, it didnt seem that big. But, there i was, drooling over the iPod, yet again. My parents still wont buy me one and they ban me from using my own cash. "Its a waste of money!"...yeah yeah. Half of the shop was infested with workers trying to promote "music canteen". Its a song downloading service thats available for Malaysians only at the mo. The music selection is a bit weak and the prices are ridiculous, RM3 for a song, say an album has 15 songs itll cost RM45 for the whole album. I might as well buy the whole cd for RM20. If you ask me, this will never catch on.

Skating wise, today has been awesome. I found the July issue of Daily Bread after weeks of scavenging. This one features about a dozen ams. AWESOME! Haha, i also found some nice ledges at the mall. Looks like it'll need to be waxed for an hour first though. Later in the evening i went skating with izzy at the KJ ledges. There were these woodpushers flipping their flat sticks. They were cool though cause we were better than them. Hah! Royale-ing the ledge compared to missed ollies? Right. They came with their girlfriends too. I think the girls must have been ashamed to see their guys sucking so bad. Pity them, perhaps i should have given my number? ;)

Whats In A Blog?

2004-05-16T02:50:00.000+08:00

Plugging in : Tool - Eulogy

The question many people ask. Whats in a blog? Why waste time? Well my friends, a blog can tell you more than what you might think. A persons opinion or knowledge, forever on the web for all to see, even when your time has passed. I'm saying this because the minute after making this whole blog it reminded me of my late cousin who passed away at his prime leaving a wife and three children. He was a very outspoken person, one who always spoke his mind. Even though i felt as if i wasnt that close to him, i still think of him as one of my favourites cousins ever.

Sweet memories such as our fishing trip where we used roti canai as the bait :) , throwing one cent coins at the windows of slow moving vehicles, and our command and conquer rivalries shall never be forgotten. He is also remembered as the "joker" of our family. Ironic that his name is even there in the title : "Joe-ker" hah, get it?

Well, im typing this also because i didnt let out much or any emotions during the funeral. I thought i should handle it like a man. But as time flies by, more than half a year gone, guilt started building up. Guilt? What for? You might ask, well to me i think a person deserves to be remembered in one way or another, especially in situations like these. If not, well...thats just plain mean.

To my suprise, his legendary (for Malaysians that is) blog is still up for viewing. Of course, no updates are to be made, but there are plenty of posts up still available for all to see. Everyone who reads this, make sure you go there, see what a great person he was. Also check out the post he made about the "male britney" of which i sent the link to which i got on be-mag's grom infested messageboard. :P

Rock on Abang Joe.

I simply love this site. It features a guy in a chicken suit doing stuff you ask it to do. This will keep you occupied for half an hour or so. Big ups to Tim from Rolling-Photos for this one. :)

The title pretty much sums me up so be prepared im going to talk a whole lot. Most of which you and a lot of people wont see eye to eye with, but that will make it a whole lot more interesting wont it? ;) . I'll say it again, be prepared. Hehehehehe.
