We are once again at the end of another year. Somehow, year end holds for a lot of people some sort of significance. Like some sort of milestone that one passes and of course for all of mankind, we are also getting another year notched into our age.
All these are the fault of time. We invented time, had we not have time, there would not be any such milestones to pass and events to celebrate or to mourn. Why cant we not have time?
For some, time passes very quickly and for others time does not seem to move at all.
It's all relative at the end of the day as we go about the cycle of each day from sunrise till sunset. Day in, day out.
However, have you once paused to wonder what does all these means? All the things that you have done and all the things that you want to do but not have the time for and all the things that you did and regretted. What does all this means when we are at this milestone, this end of year? When we are all getting older but do we get any wiser?
Why must we reflect only now and not earlier of our actions and events? What is so special about this particular time of the year? If there's no time, there's no such thing as an end to a year.
For me the answer should not be found at this particular time, the answer should be looked out for all the time. It's not easy but we should reflect on our actions all the time and make less any deeds that are wrong and make more deeds that are good. Not take each sunrise and sunset for granted and people for granted, cherish each day as if it's the last.
Because in the larger scheme of things, our universe, however "big" we think it is, is nothing but a speck of dust darting across a treacherous sea of rocks and poisonous gasses.
But since we are saddled with the event of time, let me take this opportunity to wish one and all...
Happy New Year and May All Your Dreams and Wishes Be Found!

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
Dear all,
It is again near Christmas time. I would like to share with all of you, my favourite song of the season....which I think conveys all the essence and spirit of this time of the year....so here goes..................
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light,
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years,
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow,
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
Merry Christmas, God Bless, May peace be with all.

Crazy Horse is in town as well......now all that's left is for the Casino to finally get on with the show before all the bidders pull out for a buzzing buzzing city!!!

Drive...
Went for a drive today. Somehow while you drive, you feel you are headed somewhere and there will always be the sense of anticipation when you think about the destination that you are heading towards.
As for me, I ended up somehow back in my old university hall. Raffles Hall..
I walked down the steps and as I turned round the bend, I looked up and I can see my old room where I spent my last year in Uni.....
The memories just came crashing back as if it was just yesterday and strangely enough I felt as if I was really back to the time when I was staying there. Surrounded by friends and familiar faces....
I walked to the old public phone area in block 5, where we used to scream at the top of our lungs for people to come answer their phonecalls.
The wall around the telephone still bears a lot of familiar scribblings of my friends' "achievements" and "advertisements"....I was happy they were still around......somethings should remain as they are....
The faces I knew, are no longer around but yet, the soul of this place still remembers me and us..and welcomes me back to its surroundings....showing me how it was when I used to call this place home all over again......

XBOX 360 - Complex Machine....err
"It’s a few reports of consoles here and there not working properly," said Molly O’Donnell, a spokeswoman for Microsoft’s Xbox division. "It’s what you would expect with a consumer electronics instrument of this complexity
Above was an excerpt from a news article regarding the XBOX 360 with some console having problems and crashes during gameplay.
Well, if you go by above reasoning, if you buy a car and a car being a complex instrument, and if the brakes don't work and the car crashes and kills the driver, it is to be expected???
Or better yet, if you buy an airplane and the airplane is even more complex than the car, the airplane crashes and it is to be expected???
What the FARK is this MOLLY woman yapping about?????

24 Hrs Singapore!!
Just saw MM Lee on TV talking about Dubai and his views on how fast that place has progressed and how impressed he was with the growth of the city!! It's a busy buzzing little City in the middle of conflict lands! A shining diamond in a pool of oil!!
MM Lee was there just one week after me and both me and him hold the same views! Great minds do see and think alike...hehehe somehow!!!
Anyways, enough of that but seriously! Just look at their airport and our airport! It's so alike but yet, one is lazier than the other. By that I mean the shops! Inside the Dubai airport, shops open 24 hours for 24/7. Here in Changi, it's a great airport by the way, the shops closed at 12am. Why?? Electricity too high?? It's not as if they switch off the lites and air conditioning anyways and there are still passengers taking off and arriving late at nite, why not open the shops there for 24 hours as well?? You can do more business there from the transit passengers for 24 hrs for 7 days a week!! As to the cost vs the returns, am sure the returns will justify it no?
Why not then even allow and make it compulsory for more shops like Mustafa center with 24 hrs shopping? Just imagine, a 24 hrs Orchard Road!! or at least a late nite Orchard road like say on Friday and Saturday where shops all open till 12am? This should bring more tourist and keep businesses operating longer!! Maybe I am wrong, but but but, Singapore do lack the buzz....
I cant explain the buzz! But it's something that I don't really feel in Singapore. All is nice and hunky dory on the outside but seriously, the question is what next? What's buzzing next? I don't mean the freaking bees!! I mean, what's there to keep us entertained next? What's there to look forward to besides the same old, same old? Yes, Singapore will soon have the Casino (provided they sort out the intricacies) and yes, Singapore will have Crazy Horse, but what about now? What can we change now to bring out the buzz??
A 24 hrs city is my answer! 24 hrs shopping, 24 hrs cinema, 24 hrs bar and restaurants, 24 hrs clubbing, a city that never sleeps! That should put the buzz on!.....at least for awhile, till we have the 24 hours CASINO!! Wooooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!
Coz, seriously, the infrastructure is all there and great, why not maximise it?.......

The Desert Pt II
This is a prove that there is Life in the desert!!!
Driver's beware!
You know how a lot of people who came back from Australia have that yellow sign with the Koala label that they stick in their cars??
Wonder if I can make this one with the Camel as popular!!!
Kerching Kerching!!

Ali Baba Land
I was in Alibaba land (well not exactly but actually somewhere real close!) for about a week! This is my first time ever to set foot in the Middle East and despite all the bad press about the middle east, this particular country is truly amazing and I must say, I was both impressed and amazed at how fast this country grew from a poor port city to becoming a cosmopolitan country in the Middle East. This city is Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai is a stark contrast to some of its neighbours in terms of personal freedom, world standing and stability even though you are in the middle east(images of terrorism and war is the label for the Middle East), the country sets itself apart from the rest of the middle east country by adopting clearly a Globalised approach to its development in terms of its economies and civil liberties. It is indeed a melting pot of different cultures from around the middle east to the west of africa, to the north Europe and to the Far East.
You can feel the buzz of the city the moment you step into the airport which houses a 24 hours duty free shopping arcade. As you drive into the city, you can clearly see that this is a city that keeps reinventing itself to keep ahead of the competition and distance itself from its feudalistic and oppressive neighbours.
The question that begs to be answered is then how come, its neighbours cannot adopt the policies that the Sheikh has to make this place truly a great city for all to live in and maintain peace and prosperity?
Why cant we as humans live in peace and practice tolerence and moderation?
Why must everything be in absolution? We are people of the world, with different skin color, different languages, different features and different cultures but we are still human.

The Wounded Gazelle
Last Saturday me and Fatness decided to test drive the Astra Turbo and take it out for some zoom-zoom! Ate our lunches, downed our tehs and kopis and off we go heading towards the show room for the zoom zoom!! But that was not to be coz Fatness forgot his licence and we need to take a little detour back to his bat cave to retrieve said licence.
Fatness moved with his usual swiftness, jumped out of the car and poof off he goes bouncing like a gazelle in the african plains to his apartment to get the danged licence.
5 mins passed and me was tweedling my thumbs in the car. Where was the swift bouncing gazelle that sped off so quickly awhile ago. Hmmm....It shouldn't take so long to complete the detour task.
Then I saw Fatness's roommate charging towards me in the car to relay the news that the bouncing gazelle had a little accident. It seems the light footed Fatness of a gazelle (contradictory no??) had bounced a little to high and knocked his poor head on the low ceiling ledge...and his kepala pecah (head broke)!!!! His head was attacked by the ceiling and it broke!!
I saw Fatness, like a poor gazelle kena maimed by the lions, lying helplessly on the stairs of his apartment with blood spurting out from his horrendous wound. It was a CSI moment for me as I study the blood spatter pattern on the floor and the walls and his wound to determine where exactly and how did the Fatness came to be in his condition.
After determining that he can be safely moved I got a few towels, gave it to him to cover his wound and to soak the blood and marched him to the car to take him the hospital!
I managed to zoom zoom alright that day but not in the Astra Turbo, but by sending the wounded Fatness Gazelle to the hospital to have him stitched up. In the end, the doctor determined that the wound is not that serious and all it needed was 5 stitches thats all.
The real problem was the dressing. The orderly looked at me while holding the dressing and asked "How to wrap his head ha??" I said, just make like Ninja la..so it wont come out...or wrap like mummy also can!

The Link : Day 2 Log
We moved past the high mountains with our equipment and rations and come across the City. We walk through the ruins of the City and thoughts came rushing into my mind of people and life that used to inhabit the city. We are heading north. Always heading north.
How can we, who were capable of such magnificence, come to what we are today? Half our clan are in cryo status as a means to conserve our valuable natural resources, which was brought on by the Life Suspension Act 2012, which was passed by the now defunct United Nations after the 3rd world war.
The 3rd World War was a meaningless war fought over trivial matters. Over the politics and arrogance of men, as survival as a race was never in question at the time. Now, the fruits of their arrogance brought us to our knees. To where we are today and the survival of the human race hang by a thread.
I adjusted my Enviro goggles to get a wide-spectrum scan of the ruins ahead to detect if any unwanted visitors will give us a nasty surprise. Scan shows none. For the time being.
Although all of us are packing the cannon each, minions from The Deep can be quite a handful.
We were 5. 5 of us were awakened for this journey. And lets hope that 5 of us will make it back in one piece. For the time being, I just want to get away from the City's cramp quarters to more open ground should any encounters take place.
End of Day 2 log.

Kena Played Out!!!! Pt II
Saturday came and I felt much better after whupping the Fatty's backside for playing me out. As I planned out my day, I was thinking of going to catch Beyond's farewell concert at night, but somehow it slipped my mind, I don't know why but it did. Probably because of the immense hurt, anger and disappointment from Friday night's betrayal from Fatness! Pundek kia.
In the end, I went for drinks with Fatness and Jin at night. In the middle of drinks, suddenly I realised that, the concert was going on now! I had forgotten about it!! DAMM! Diiuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!Tibai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ah Faaaaark!!! I forgot about the concert!! diu!!!" I said
"What concert?" Jin asked
"Beyond's farewell, final, pre break-up concert!!! Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!" I replied
"Oh, that concert, I had tickets for them....and I gave it away." Jin replied.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT TICKETS FOR BEYOND'S CONCERT AND YOU GAVE IT AWAY WITHOUT TELLING ME?????" anger came back..........anger came rushing back.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!
"Who u gave them too?????" I asked
"I gave them to the "I-WANT-FREE-STUFF-THAT-I-DONT-USE-BIATCH"....sorry...." answers her meekly
(THE I-WANT-FREE-STUFF-THAT-I-DONT-USE-BIATCH is an apt name that I bestow upon that thing because she is indeed one such biatch)
Aaaaarrgh, kena played out again!!!!!! basketball!!!! I asked Jin, how can she do this to a friend of more than 10 over years!! How can she gave them priceless tickets to a "fren" of less than 1 year without thinking about me first, why, why, why????
"Blardy hell! I bet you that biatch did not go to the conert!!!! If that's the case I will be even more pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said
"No la, I am sure she is at the concert now enjoying herself." answered Jin
Waah, angerness when I hear that! " Ok fine, sms her abt the concert" I said
"Err, no la, probably it will be too loud for her to get the sms" Jin said sheepishly.....
"SMS her NOOW!!!!!!!" demanded I and she proceeded to sms her as fast as her fingers can press the tiny buttons on her mobile.
A few minutes later.
"Beep Beep". An sms came back. I saw the look on her face and the grin of Fatness's face I knew the answer.
THE I-WANT-FREE-STUFF-THAT-I-DON'T-USE-BIATCH really didn't go. Nia Seng!!!!
Now my anger quadrupled, not so much at Jin now, but at that BIATCH!!!! I can't understand why some people take free stuff with no intention to use it. Fark, if you don't want it, don't take it!!!
And you know what her reason for not able to go??? It was her MOTHER's BIRTHDAY!!!
Diu Nia Seng!! Fa Lat!! Double Diu!!! Why then did she take the tickets earlier?? Coz she forgot about the mother's birthday???? Then she is indeed a BIATCH!! If not then what was her reason? I tell you what, it's because she is a FREE SHITE hogging selfish BIATCH!!!!!!!!! CHEAPSKATE!!!!!
Basket, last nite one time, tonite another time!!! Kena played out twice!!!! actually thrice, I also play myself out by forgetting about the friggin concert!! And I already set aside the money to pay for the concert...took it out from my account now and nothing to spend on....Diu! Guess I will go to my favourite game shop later and buy something to help CHILL my angerness!!
DIU!!!!!!

Kena Played Out!! Pt 1
As usual, Friday came and I was planning of something to do for the night. Hence, I messaged Fatness to see what he's up to. I then suggested to go watch the new Jacky Chan movie, The Myth, as I was planning to watch it earlier but Fatness warned me vehemently to wait for him as well to watch it. The tibai fella farked me upside down and said that he'll kill me until I die from it if i watch it without him. In the end, I waited till Friday.
We agreed to watch the 1030pm show. I asked Fatness to book the ticket but Fatness said confidently " No need, sure got one!".
I asked " But what if don't have, then how?"
Fatness replied " Sure have one!!. So long already showing, nobody will watch it one"
I asked again " You didn't answer my question, what if DON'T HAVE"
Fatness, confidently replied " Sure HAVE ONE!"
We left it at that, and 10pm came I made my way to the cinema. As I was progressing towards the cinema I got a call frm Mel, (she was also watching with us).
And she said " Errr...there's no more tickets!, and Fatness is now hiding behind me saying that u will kill him"
Fark, the movie really turned out to be just a MYTH!! Diiiiiu!!!!
I was seething inside!! That tibai pundek, knnccb fella played me out!!! Furthermore, to add salt to the wound, Mel had volunteered earlier to go pick up the tickets as she was around the area but this tibai pundek fella Fatness answered " No need la...".
Fa lat bugger!!!
I made my way up to the cinema, most wanting to stick my foot into the pundeks backside and tears its apart!!! but I couldn't see him!! All I saw was Mel, then out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed a strange sight as somehow, Mel's hip seems to have grown wider! how come suddenly her backside become so big??
Which cant be coz Mel's got a great figure!
Took 2 more steps forward and I realise it was the Fatness's gut sticking out as he hid behind her!

The Link : Day 1
Day 1 : 13 Oct 2055
The missing link has been located by Agent 171 from Unit Azzeqial. The crucial piece of the puzzle that has been haunting us for so long. It's almost within our grasp. Our unit has been given "awake" orders and we are now making preparations to proceed to the sacred point to retrieve the link which will eventually help us solve the puzzle of our existence.
Like fire was to prehistoric men and how it was supposed to change the evolution of mankind. We are on the verge of another leap in human evolution. Hopefully.
According to Agent 171, we are to proceed towards a coordinate given pointing towards the north pole. Which exact location, I am not at liberty to divulge for now.
But one thing is clear, play time is over. Mission orders will be given shortly. Meanwhile, preparations have to be made.
I am sure our enemy from The Deep will also discover soon what we have learn thus far. They too will be making their way north. We should move fast and swift to retrieve it before they do. If we fail. The consequences will be dire.
Nightfall will be upon us soon. Preparations need to be made now.

I am sure our enemy from The Deep will also discover soon what we have learn thus far. They too will be making their way north. We should move fast and swift to retrieve it before they do. If we fail. The consequences will be dire.
Nightfall will be upon us soon. Preparations need to be made now.
End of day 1 log.

You and I
Have you ever stared at the mirror and wondered who that person staring back at you really is? Have you ever wondered if there were no mirrors in the world, would you be able to "see" or tell how you really look like or recognise yourself if you happen to chance upon one?
When you stare at the mirror, the person staring back at you is actually, you. And this is the face that you carry around and this is the same face that you use to express your emotions. This is also the face that people either love or hate.
However, when we look at the world through our very own eyes, we see everyone else but ourselves. Why is this so? Why cant we see ourselves and find out who we really are without mirrors?
You and I, the person in the mirror, are basically the same.
Regardless of race, culture, religion, ideology, we are the same. We walk around this Earth with our self indulgent needs and wants stepping on the small people, licking the balls of the big people but at the end of the day, look at ourself in the mirror, are we happy?
What is our true reflection? Is it the person we see in the mirror everyday when we wake up?
Do you like who you see? Are you happy with what you see?
Our true reflection is through the faces of others as seen through our eyes towards our action and deeds. Hate or love, they will show us how they feel.
Your true happiness is shown the moment you look at yourself in the mirror. If you are or not, you will know and your face will tell you, as all the deeds that you do, will show on your face.
The face that you carry around for others to see.

BEST CONSUMERS!!!
You know who are the best consumers in the world? If you are in marketing, you should target these blokes because they will believe everything that you tell them and buys it with no second thoughts.
If you tell them that your toaster is actually a DVD player, they will believe you. Really! And if you tell them that the new XBOX can play PS2 games as well as Nintendo games, they will also believe you!! They will buy it and goes home feeling happy about it!!
And the best thing is, these blokes wont even have the chance to use them to find out the truth because, as part of their day job, once their job is finished, they would have been dead already. These fellas are the suicide bombers. They will believe anything you tell them and they even believe that killing innocents will buy their way to heaven...since when?

GODZILLA 2005!!! Finale
As I walked through the maze of alleys in the streets of Tokyo, something finally caught my attention as my atomic radar homes in on the signal.
I thought I saw it! Finally, the creature itself, GOJIRA!!! cast in stone and shrunken from its original size to hobbit size!! Diiuuuu...what a letdown!
No wonder these days we don't hear about GODZILLA terrorising the city of Tokyo no more. The Japanese have somehow managed to contain this threat by casting it in stone, while borrowing techniques from the headhunters to shrink it down to hobbit size and turning it into a tourist attraction instead.
No wonder the Japanese have such national pride these days because they manage to defeat the ultimate threat to their society!
They have somehow managed to harness the powers of either Ultraman, Astro Boy or the Masked Riders to defeat its greatest threat! An Abomination that was created by the evils of Atomic weapons - Godzilla!!!

Err ERP!
Just got back from India and the latest news I hear was that ERP will now be applied even on Saturdays from 12pm to 8pm on Saturday on Orchard road (correct me if I am wrong)! The reason from the relevant authority was to ease traffic flow during the weekends and hence additional ERP gantries were put up.
I wonder if the authorities ever wondered that the people, actually like the traffic on the weekends in and around Orchard Road. Because it does make the city feel more "ALIVE", buzzing, exciting and more like any other big cities around the world. Like New York, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo etc.etc. And it should be the perogative of the individual to WANT to get stuck in traffic in Orchard road on a Saturday.
Who wants to go to Orchard road on a Saturday when it looks like a dead city?? We want the city buzz! We want the traffic and we want a break from PAYING ERP on a weekend to help ease the already heavy cost of living in the Lion City!! An empty Orchard road make one feel very depressed....add on to that, the ERP....sighs
And If the authorities really want to ease traffic flow in Orchard road, what about the human traffic?? Maybe they should start a human ERP kind of thing along Orchard road and make the pedastrian pay as well!!
That will really ease the traffic in and around Orchard road and yes, it will then be very good business for all the shops in and around Orchard road........Lower traffic equals higher return (somehow!)....to compensate for the sky rocketing rentals in that area.
But then what do you think will happen to the traffic around Orchard road once these gantries are up? They will be congested somewhere else la, (like a balloon u squeeze one end the other end will balloon)......and a year or two down the road...ERP gantries will pop up in those areas as well...and then, what do you think will happen to the traffic in these areas?? They will all be in Malaysia....spending money there instead of paying ERP in the Lion City....

The Tree of Wealth
Ever wonder how a tree with a huge bloom of leaves stemming out from a few branches and a tiny trunk withstand the forces of nature? The answer is that it cant. One big huff and puff the tree will break at the trunk and left to rot!
And this is exactly what a sick economy feels like where you have major imbalance across the demographic in terms of wealth distribution. You have a few fellas on the top who are sitting on tons of money and a tiny bunch of fellas at the middle and everybody else is at the bottom who can barely scrape a living.
One big shock externally, the poor tree of wealth will come crumbling down. When that happens the plume of rich leaves will wither and die but the masses at the bottom may grow back in time depending on the kind of tree it is in the first place.

GODZILLA 2005!!! Part Deux
Finally I am now walking amongst the people who have seen and ran from the creature -GOJIRA!! I look to my left and look to my right, everyone seems to the their usual self. Men in suit despite the sweltering heat and humidity of summer and the women in their high heels with skirts or dressees, trudge through the human sardine pack as if nothing had happened.
It seems as if the trauma from the creature's attack had never existed!!! Amazing!!! The resilience of these people who have been through hell and back when GOJIRA attacked Japan and plucked the Tokyo Tower of its foundation as if it were a toothpick is amazing!!!
I noticed one thing about Japan, they now have an extensive network of subways, trains and even the Shinkansen!! (Bullet-O Train-O!). As I tried my very best to stare at and study the colorful spaghetti of a metro/subway chart, all I can make out of in the end is the picture of a naked Mr Miyagi from Karate Kid!! Eeeeeeeew!!!!!!
I also think the reason why the urban transportation and underground system is so extensive, is because to facilitate the evacuation of the people during an attack by Monsters. As they have learnt from film records in the past, the running and the screaming don't really save lives..... STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! EEEEKSSSS! "KER-PLASH".....dead......
Besides the Typhoon, Japan always faced monster attacks which you will never see or hear mentioned of course in the travel brochure...but trust me, the monsters love to hantam (whack) Japan somehow...And speaking again of the Typhoon, my Japanese friend told me that Typhoon No.14 does not denote the strength of the typhoon but the number of typhoon Japan encountered thus far....whew.....
My eyeballs by the time are seeing a lot of Little TwinStars hence I decided I need to stare at some really refreshing greenery and I saw the above nice green patches...untouched and un-destroyed by Ultraman or GOJIRA.
Speaking of Ultraman, I didn't really get to see him coz maybe it was raining most of the time
when I was there and U know Ultraman-la, he needs the power of the sun to charge him up to stay on Earth. Furthermore, even he appears, he cannot last being on Earth for more than 5 mins so.....sheeesh....moral of the story, u gotta be at the right place at the right time...!!
As I continued on my journey, I can see a lot of signs and where it could have been either caused by GOJIRA or by some other being on the building walls and structure of the buildings. There seem to be a lot of band aids with colorful pictures and ads plastered on the walls of the buildings. This is probably done to hide the battle scars of the monster attacks!! My nose tells me to follow them and follow them I did and then all of a sudden round the corner of my eye.....
To be continued....

GODZILLA 2005!!! - Pt I
The plane rattled as we sped head on towards Typhoon No.14 (NABI) for the island of Honshu where reported sightings of the creature GODZILLA or GOJIRA has been reported! I braced myself as the turbulence pounded onto our 747 as if we were a cessna single prop plane. I prayed for it to be over soon and land would then greet us instead of the fury of Typhoon No.14. I am at the same time excited and anxious as I am now on a great journey to discover for myself, the mythical creature called GOJIRA and many more mythical beings such as Ultraman, Kamen Riders as well as Power Rangers where legend has said somehow they congregate in the Island Nation of Japan!
I peeked out of the window and hoped to see some calm blue skies but all I could see was a thick mist of grey as we were now in the insides of Typhoon No.14. I had hoped maybe the Japanese airforce will send either some Valkyrie fighters from SDF-1 or some Gundam Robots (ZAKUS or Earth Defence Force I don't care as long as they come!!) to help escort our poor embattled plane to safety but to my disappointment there was none! Sighs!.....Damm, I should have taken JAL (tibai basketball!!) instead of SQ at least them planes can hopefully transform or sumthing if the going gets too tough into a GIANT ROBOT!!
All of a sudden the rocking and shaking seemed to subside and through the PA system I heard the Captain announced that we are going to land soon at Narita! A great sense of relief came over me as we will soon be out of the belly of the beast and descend into the land of great mystery! The land of GODZILLA!!!! YA!!! and sushi, ramen, soba, sashimi, toro and fugu!!!!
Finally the plane landed and I managed to make my way to my hotel. The wind was blowing and the rain kept pelting the land of the rising sun. Which of course for the moment, the sun, is nowhere to be seen. If I remembered correctly, Typhoon No.11 just struck Japan about 2 weeks ago or something, and now, Typhoon No. 14??? I am so gonna get it from my friend this time as this is my first trip to Japan, and the Typhoon was there to welcome my arrival!!! Bet your last Yen he gonna say :-
"Ah so, Grouch-san, welcome to Japan! Told you to come over alone but no... you have to bring with you the typhoon!!!...Ah so, arigato-gozaimashta Grouch-san!"
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit....some more no.14!! Stronger than 11!!! DIE!!...this one should be called Typhoon Nabei rather than Nabi....but on second thought, better not make fun of it after seeing the destruction of the lady Katrina of New Orleans...."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned???" What the heck did Bush do this time??

Fear and Loss
What do we fear? Why do we fear? Some fear the dark, some fear the unknown and some are afraid of heights, closed spaces and so on and so forth. These to me are lesser fears. But inherently, what we fear most is of loss. As we start out in life, we have our family with us and we have all to look forward to as we progress through the trials and tribulations called Life.
We work hard to gain what we wanted and worked doubly hard to keep what we gained. But loss is inevitable. As we age, we will lose the people we love, either through to age or through sickness. Loss is inevitable and loss is painful.
The reason why loss is painful is because of love. It is because we loved. If one had never loved, one will not know loss and what more, fear it. But do we want to live without Love? To me, the answer is a clear no.
What is more important is that we should embrace loss instead of fear it, as it is after all apart of our life. This is what I have learned. Remember the dearly departed always and never forget how they have touched your life.
After having worked many years in Singapore, I have not had the privilege of being with my family all the time and in the course of my stay here I have lost 3 very dear persons in my life. My grandparents. Through their departure, they thought me how to cherish the people who come across our path and touched our life.
What I have ultimately learn is that, the people that we love, although we have the fear of losing them one day, is never far away from us even though they may leave us. All we need to do is to find a silent space of our own, close our eyes and look deep within our hearts and we will see them and have them bless our life again with all the memories that they have blessed us with.
Always remember them and they will forever be with us....always.

Life
I came across the postings of an utter arsehole in a forum I visit once in awhile. Someone basically started a new thread which basically spoke of his reflections and thoughts of a friend of his, who decided to take his own life.
The arsehole basically posted and voiced his strong view of how wrong suicide is and that the person who decides to take his life is a coward who has no regard at all to the feelings of the people who loves him.
Who gave him the right to judge? Whatever the reason maybe, we as third parties should not judge. No man can and no one is above another fellow man on this earth who can pass judgement on one's life except God. What we can do instead of voicing our judgemental views is to mourn the loss of a young life.
Don't let that person's life pass on in vain.
Remember the better things in life and take it as a lesson and instead of being bitter, learn to cherish the short time we have on this earth no matter how tough the going can get, there will always be a silver lining.
And to the arsehole who still rant on to justify his statements made in the post, may you find contentment within yourself.
Following is an excerpt of the post.
Loss of a friend...
A friend of mine passed away last week. I have felt the loss of loved ones and friends before but this loss was made a lot more painful because he chose to take his own life.No one of us would ever know why he did it. He told no one his troubles, except for the fact that he was thinking of changing his major in university because it was too hard. He was very active in Uni, among our group or friends and greatly appreciated by those who knew him.Whatever his reason, his decision has robbed his parents of their eldest son, his siblings of an older brother and for the rest of us, a cherished friend.I just wanted to shout out here to point out that taking one's own life doesn't resolve anything. Regardless the kind of trouble or dilemma you are in, it can always be resolved. Family and friends are there for a reason. Use them. They will help even if it hurts or inconveniences them. Just stay alive. The alternative is too painful for others.
The post of that arsehole :-
Sorry to say so, but your frn deserves no pity for his choice of suicide simply shows how selfish and cowardly he is... I only feel sorry for your frn's family and friends who are left behind to suffer the agony of the loss of their loved one...However no point crying over split milk, juz pray that your frn's soul will rest in peace like what XXX had said...

Dumbass!
To the arsehole who posted the site to his dumbass blog which I dont bother to read, faking as a comment to my posts. If you wanna advertise go take it elsewhere and don't do it on my blog site!!!! Tibai!! Your comment is now thrashed!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby!
A friend of mine had a baby this week and of course all us share his and his wifey's joy in welcoming the arrival of the cutesy baby!! Emails were sent back and forth in quick successions asking a multitude of questions regarding the baby as well as the welfare of the mother and father (the father???).
Anyways, one particular email stood out when one of our friends asked, or more like commanded the husband to buy a gift for the wifey for giving him a baby boy. A special gift and not any cheapo gift to reward the wife for having successfully giving birth to the baby. According to the friend it's a must! As she successfully gave birth to HIS baby!
As I read it, I thought, hmmm..if you give the wife a gift for bearing you a child, then wouldn't that make the wife a baby factory rather than the one u loved who embarked on this baby making adventure with you for a lifetime?
I mean, the baby should be a special gift for both the husband and wife and not to be viewed as a gift from the wife to the husband. No? Both husband and wife should want to have a baby and not just having the baby just because the husband wants it. No?
Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problems with giving a gift of appreciation to the one you love who suffered (?) 9 months of labour but the idea of a gift as a form of reward is, to me, flawed.
Unless of course you are the King of an empire and you need to ensure your wealth and power is kept within your family. Then such wives will be taken just to produce babies. Usually such persons or Kings will have no less than 40 wives which means he will have more than 100 children, 1000 grandchildren and gazillion more great grandchildren to fight for the wealth and throne. It's ok if the family tears itself apart as long as the wealth is kept "In-houes". Also, by having 40 wives, the King will also be able keep himself healthy by working hard at making babies. Best exercise in the world is sex and it's supposedly proven. Lucky bugger!
But then again, only when you are born with all the right stars and heavens in perfect karmastic and horoscopic alignment will you ever end up being a King of anything!!
Hence, should we then marry for baby or marry for love? Of course there are people out there who marries for baby but as for me the answer is clear. I have no wealth what more an empire, so I will marry for love and then embark hopefully on my own baby making adventure with my dear wifey for the rest of my time on this Earth.

Mankind - Big Deal!
A thought came to me the other day while watching discovery channel. It was showing some documentary on animals survivability and also a special on how efficient sharks are in the oceanic food chain. The question that came to my mind is "Are we the most efficient, smartest, top of the food chain and king of the earth when compared to animals as well as plants? I think not...." Let me explain or provide my opinion as follows in 3 stages.
The first of course being our birth :-
As a human being, we are burdened with the responsibility of Life. Life in human terms is being determined by a complex structure of rules, cultures and systems. When we are born, we burden our parents with the responsibility of raising us. Exasperating them often with our immature antics. Antagonising them with our ridiculous request for attention and love. And lastly exhausting them of their own means for survival - Money (Is this the smartest invention mankind ever discovered? I think not!! Another issue fr another post).
Whereas, as compared to other species on earth such as plants and animals, the birth of such creatures would often require a far simpler structure. For many, it is a matter of giving birth to thousands with the odds stacked at the survivability of a couple of hundreds (Hopefully). For most animals, the moment they are born, they can run as well as walk and seemed armed to the teeth with the necessary tools for their own survival. As for plants, drop a seedling or spread some spores and it's que sera sera. Parental responsibility? For some creatures yes, often times it is never longer than a few weeks or months just to ensure the infant creature can/is ready to fend for itself or are not devoured too early in their vulnerable form (egg form/nuts/planktonian/larvae etc. form). As for plants, again it is que sera sera.
The second stage - The Formative years
After the first stage in the life of a human being, the next stage would be the formative years where again, mankind have somehow managed to find more and more complex/complicated ways to educate and arm the young ones to the realities they will face when they hit the last and final Adulthood stage. They are being put into herds whereby they are taught the ways to conform and be accepted by society at large in the beginning. They are also taught ways to communicate with proper complex words and sentences to describe the multitude of expressions and ideas that a human being is supposedly capable of. (Which to me, the only use only arises in complex human system structures. But if one is to strictly adhere to the basic needs, which is food and shelter) there should be ways to make it simpler.
Again, let us take a look at the creatures around us, the plants and the animals. For plants, as far as we are concerned, they dont communicate vocally or expressively like us but as a species they still seem to be able to go forth and conquer 2/3rds of Globe way before the arrival of mankind. As for animals, believe their communication is purely instinctive as far as we can see/tell without getting too complex as how we humans often get when talking/expressing ideas/thoughts amongst ourselves.
For the animals, if they are hungry, they hunt and there is no argument on when to hunt, how to hunt, how to share the spoils and what not, they just do it. Like Nike. As for us Humans, we will end up talking, debating, fight, reason and seek justification, for all our actions so that it is deemed acceptable and reasonable by Human standards and customs. The animals are simpler, hungry eat. Tired, rest. If challenged and beaten, leave quietly. A perfect system and a perfect hierarchy. Survival of the fittest. As for humans, we justify our defeat, we brag about our successes, we become greedy, we complicate even the simplest of issues and we are always seeking the ultimate reason for existing be it fame or infamy or power or money. The sad thing is, humans are never content with what we have.
For plants and animals. The exist merely to exist as nature intended them to do and share an almost perfect symbiotic bond between all lifeforms on Earth in perfect harmony.
The third stage - Adulthood.
For humans, when we reach adulthood we will be bogged down with career choices (which is mainly to sustain our basic needs plus a fantastical amount of wants!! ) as well as life choices in terms of finding a suitable mate/companion and somehow sow our seeds to ensure that we have continuity for our species. After all, we humans often think that we are the masters of this planet. Hence, we trudge along, arming ourselves with the knowledge to land ourselves with fat paying jobs in order to have a huge bank account in order to buy the ferrari or the beach front bungalow and wear expensive designer clothings and accessories. We continue to expand our already very complicated/complex system further by creating extensive supply chains for our wants as well as thinking of ever new demand for stuff which at the end of the day we dont need. And so the cycle continues.
For the plants and the animals, they dont bother themselves with such nonsense and they are comfortable as they are (no fancy cars, no need to make clothing or house) and everything they need is provided to them at birth. Efficient no?
They live to eat, sleep and pass on just as nature intended. No complex system and no complex wants. They live in perfect contentment as they are. Of course, I know some of you reading this may think that it is because animals and plants are lesser life forms who does not have our intellectual skills and possess our brain power to enable them to evolve to who we humans are. But the question is, is it necessary??
Are we, Mankind, getting the long end of the deal here on Earth or the short end? Are we too arrogant to see ourselves as the most superior species on Earth thus blinding us to the fact, which as simply stated above, that we are actually the opposite. Food for thought?
The first of course being our birth :-
As a human being, we are burdened with the responsibility of Life. Life in human terms is being determined by a complex structure of rules, cultures and systems. When we are born, we burden our parents with the responsibility of raising us. Exasperating them often with our immature antics. Antagonising them with our ridiculous request for attention and love. And lastly exhausting them of their own means for survival - Money (Is this the smartest invention mankind ever discovered? I think not!! Another issue fr another post).
Whereas, as compared to other species on earth such as plants and animals, the birth of such creatures would often require a far simpler structure. For many, it is a matter of giving birth to thousands with the odds stacked at the survivability of a couple of hundreds (Hopefully). For most animals, the moment they are born, they can run as well as walk and seemed armed to the teeth with the necessary tools for their own survival. As for plants, drop a seedling or spread some spores and it's que sera sera. Parental responsibility? For some creatures yes, often times it is never longer than a few weeks or months just to ensure the infant creature can/is ready to fend for itself or are not devoured too early in their vulnerable form (egg form/nuts/planktonian/larvae etc. form). As for plants, again it is que sera sera.
The second stage - The Formative years
After the first stage in the life of a human being, the next stage would be the formative years where again, mankind have somehow managed to find more and more complex/complicated ways to educate and arm the young ones to the realities they will face when they hit the last and final Adulthood stage. They are being put into herds whereby they are taught the ways to conform and be accepted by society at large in the beginning. They are also taught ways to communicate with proper complex words and sentences to describe the multitude of expressions and ideas that a human being is supposedly capable of. (Which to me, the only use only arises in complex human system structures. But if one is to strictly adhere to the basic needs, which is food and shelter) there should be ways to make it simpler.
Again, let us take a look at the creatures around us, the plants and the animals. For plants, as far as we are concerned, they dont communicate vocally or expressively like us but as a species they still seem to be able to go forth and conquer 2/3rds of Globe way before the arrival of mankind. As for animals, believe their communication is purely instinctive as far as we can see/tell without getting too complex as how we humans often get when talking/expressing ideas/thoughts amongst ourselves.
For the animals, if they are hungry, they hunt and there is no argument on when to hunt, how to hunt, how to share the spoils and what not, they just do it. Like Nike. As for us Humans, we will end up talking, debating, fight, reason and seek justification, for all our actions so that it is deemed acceptable and reasonable by Human standards and customs. The animals are simpler, hungry eat. Tired, rest. If challenged and beaten, leave quietly. A perfect system and a perfect hierarchy. Survival of the fittest. As for humans, we justify our defeat, we brag about our successes, we become greedy, we complicate even the simplest of issues and we are always seeking the ultimate reason for existing be it fame or infamy or power or money. The sad thing is, humans are never content with what we have.
For plants and animals. The exist merely to exist as nature intended them to do and share an almost perfect symbiotic bond between all lifeforms on Earth in perfect harmony.

3.5 Degrees to Fame!
Do you know who Michael Schumacher is? You do? Then good for you! If you don't then you must either be from Mars (if yes, when u guys attacking us?) or you live on Earth but in a place with no TV, newspaper, foreign immigrant policy and connection whatsoever with the 21st century!
Anyways, my friend Yvo (a close close 2 degrees friend of mine!) plays football with Schumi. In fact, if on an autumn day, he can see Schumi's house from where he lives. after the leaves in the tree line behind his house shed their leaves. That's how close my friend is with Schumi. They were so close, they even share the same shower room and they wear the same jerseys when playing soccer. So close that they refer each other by first names!
Since Yvo is my 2 degrees friend, that makes Schumi my 3.5 degrees "friend" la and bringing me ever closer to knowing a famous personality!
One fine day, my pal Yvo brought his son, Matti to the game and after the game at the shower room, he thought it would be cool for his son to have their picture taken together with Schumi. So off he went brimming with confidence and asked his buddy Schumi if he would mind having his picture taken with him and his son.
As they were buddies in the shower room, Schumi said "Yes, man, no problem!"
Yvo immediately scoot over to where Matti was standing and asked Matti to go and have their picture taken with Schumi. But when he told him about it, Matti said " I DONT WANT!"
Yvo, completely taken aback by Matti was stunned. He tried his best to coax him and still the answer was "NO!!! I..DONT..WAANT!!!!"
Yvo was exasperated by Matti's reaction as clearly the little kid was breaking his balls!! But Yvo is not one to give up so easily too, hence, he said to Matti " Ok Matti, if you agree to have you picture taken with Schumi, I will buy you the toy car that Schumi drives. Ok? You know the F1 sports car?"
"I..DONT...LIKE..THAAT...CAAR!!!" answered Matti. Yvo's balls clearly being crushed to bits by that response....
At this point, Yvo thought that was it. Clearly his son has won his way and there's no way in hell he can get his son to have the picture taken. Head hung down and he let out a sigh. Finish. The end.
Son 1 / Father 0
Suddenly, Matti tucked at his father's shorts and said "Papa, If I can choose the car, then I will take the picture with Schumi" At that, without wasting any more time, Yvo bundled him over and have their picture taken.
Kid's these days DANG IT!!And there's the picture above!
Can Chew? Pt II
My friend Benben called me last nite to inform me that he had made extensive research on the subject of the Teochew dialect and its secret stash of words to combat the cantonese championship vulgarity vocabulary.
He made headways with his 70+ years old nanny, who is teochew of course, and she also said "Poo Boh and Kah Czeng" with a new one "Li Ki Si" (Which means "You go die" literally). Well, when pressed further by Benben, the experienced 70+ years old nanny came out with naught still.
Bottomline, the cantonese still rawks!

Da Marriage Klownselar!
This is not a post about any stag nite if any of you folks might be thinking after seeing Strip Joint in the title. This is about how the Grouch manage to "help" me mate in securing a lifetime of happiness with his then wife to be (now confirmed Wifey) by clearing all the bones from his closet, which he was trying to hide. He was gonna hide them forever from his lovely as it was but a moment of folly which he succumbed too and I know that deep down inside, this secret was tearing him apart. Poor dood!
Here's what happened. Back in 2001 I was back in Melbourne for a month as interim manager of our Aussie office as my then country manager decided to jump ship. Hence, naturally I caught up with my aussie mate. We shall call him Goody Joe and his GF (then). Our actvities are mainly very goody goody coz after all, you dont get to be called Goody Joe for being naughty!
One day, while me, Goody and Leon were having dinner at our trusty old chinese restaurant A1, Goody asked me about my adventures at the local strip joint. Of course, when me buddy asked about it in his goody ways I thought of nothing naughty but just to educate him about the going ons in his neighbourhood.
Suddenly, Goody said, he wanted to go check it out as part of his educational process. Again, I thought what the heck, it was after all done in the purpose of furthering one's life learning. So we decided to make our way down to MG but before we head out, Goody went to draw some money from the local ATM. "Why you draw so much money dood?, " I asked.
Goody answered "Bro, it's my first time and I dont know how much the whole tuition fee would be so I take a bit more la and I also decided to cover u guys as well" What a GUY eh!
So off we went and we had a blast of a time there. (For details, will put in another post). After gettting all the needed education we headed home. On the way back, I can tell that he felt dissonance from his field trip. He felt guilty for gawking at nekkid women wrapping themselves to a pole and dancing sexily on top of a table while having loads of beer as he loves his GF very very much. Sighs.
Hence, the matter was buried between the 3 of us until one night about a year later. We were having a webcam chat at my friend Pilotboy's home with him over in Aussieland. And he was there, telling us about how he proposed to his GF and all. So all of us were overjoyed and as usual in a get together of frens we always recount all the stupid things that we ever did. Hence, I let the cat out of the bag - ACCIDENTALLY. Everyone was laughing including him and his GF who popped her head into the webcam to ask smiling gleefully "Whaat!??...what strip bar??"
All of us continued to laugh and I championly changed topic and awhile later we called it a nite.
Or so I thought, well it was a wrap for me but apparently for him, it was not the case.....as I found out the next morning, the minute I logged onto my msn messenger.
"FARKING BASTARD!!!! FARK U!!!!!!!! YOU DESTROYED ME!!! U MUTHAFARKER SONOFABIATCH!!!!! why u go tell all about the education field trip???? It was supposed to be between us brothers!!! U diu chow hai sei chai diu kow lei ke sei yan tow!!!!! (translation of champion cantonese foul language - fark you smelly cunt damm boy, fark your blardy dead head!!!)
Shit!! What have I done!?! Panic flashed across my brain as my neurons worked at hyperspeed trying to find the right words to salvage my brothers marriage and all I can come up with "So how now?" says me in the meekest of voice.
A few silent minutes later.
"Fark what you think I had to tell her EVERYTHING MAN!! EVERYTHING SINGLE DETAIL!" says Goody.
"Err...including the one about you wasting 30mins just to wait for your chosen one to lap dance you??" asked me meekly.
"FARK MAN! WHAT YOU THINK??? OF COURSE!!!" answered Goody.
Shit man, I may have screwed up his happiness this time round. I felt bad. Really baaaad. As in Baaa Baaa Black Sheep Baaaaaad!!!. Guilt weighed upon me like a thousand tons of beans pouring down on me! shit. I screwed up big time this round. And before I could sputter another word Goody then told me that he ended up talking to his GF for almost 7 hours straight!!!
But in the end, everything ended well. As his GF knows Goody is just under my evil influence and he actually went to MG for pure educational purposes. And guess what, she was actually happy that he told her about his little field trip and how much guilt he held inside him (not that he did anything wrong during the field trip.)..NO NO NO. He was very well behaved. He was just there to satisfy his curiosity as well as to prove to some bastard friends of his who were teasing him of not ever been to a stip joint that he went, saw and left with his saintly halo still intact on his crown.
And as for Goody Joe, he felt great relief after suffering from a serious lack of sleep and having his brains squeezed dry of all the information gathered that nite. All his guilt and dissonance washed clean. A heavy burden lifted of his tiny frame!
So here we have it. Alls well that ends well. Come to think of it, I actually did them a favor! I helped clear his conscience and helped him destroy all the dirty bones in his closet! Now, Goody Joe and GF are finally married and are engulfed in pure marital bliss! No thanks of course need to be mentioned to me, the Grouch - The Accidental Marriage Klownselar!!!!!

Can Chew?
Speech is our most direct form of communication. Normally, whenever we are approached by a stranger from another part of the world, the first few words we learn to speak or confronted with are vulgarities (Fark U! being the most general) besides the normal and boring "Hello", "Thank you", "Have you eaten?", "Where's the toilet?", "Are you male or female", "You like me?, I like you","You love me, I love you" and "Let's go!".
While having dinner with my teochew friend Benben, I discovered that, some languages have limitations in describing certain parts of the human anatomy.
Namely, the dialect we are talking about here is Teochew. I am actually from Fujian Province in China, hence my natural dialect group is Hokkien, while I am brought up in an environment of Cantonese, Malay and English speaking parents.
Naturally, my command of the cantonese vocabulary for vulgarities used in describing the sexual reproduction organs and it's uses/curses, is the most champion of all!!! (second is Hokkien and I can only swear and curse in Hokkien, normal conversation - FAIL)!
And strangely enough in terms of vulgarities and flowery curses (from my limited scope of experience), Cantonese seems to be the most advance. It has many, many kinds of swears and curses to oneself as well as to one's loved ones. Very colorful at that!! It is too RA to describe here but u can refer to my Buang Sui post to get a feel of some.
Whereas the teochew dialect's swears and curses seems to be only limited to "POO BOH!" or "KAH CZENG!" (POO BOH - Fark your momma / KAH CZENG - Ass!). These seems to be the 2 swear words available in Teochew. But of course, if there's any Teochew brothers or sisters out there that can think of more, please do educate me.
When I ask my friend if there's any more words to describe the strategic human anatomy when one curses in teochew, he cant seem to think of any.
As for cantonese, one can easily think of the words to describe say for example : Ass.
Ass in cantonese - Si Fat, Lor Yau, Kong Moon, Pat Yuet Sap Ng, Pei Ku!
Ass in teochew - Kah Czeng - only 1 that I can think of.
Does this then mean that, being cantonese or being able to speak cantonese makes one a naturally good candidate to take up medicine?? Or does it mean that cantonese speaking people have a more civilised and advance society once upon a time in China hence make them smarter??
When I asked my friend how do one describe a male and female's sexual reproductive organ in teochew, he was STUMPED! All he can think of again when it comes to such organs is KAH CZENG. I asked, "How else you can spice up to curse one's KAH CZENG in teochew??" I again drew a blank! My goodness, in cantonese, there seems to be an endless array of ways to curse one's backside!!!
Just imagine if you are in a war of words against a cantonese speaking fella and a teochew speaking fella, who do you think will win.
Naturally of course the cantonese speaking fella.
All the teochew fella can say is "POO BOH! KAH CZENG! POO BOH! KAH CZENG!"
Whereas the cantonese speaking fella can utilise the wide array of vocabulary available, to describe the action (fark), smell/taste(condition), family members (namely Ma and Pa) as well as the family pet - the dog and the human anatomy to beat down the opposition!!!.

Buang Sui - The Book Burning Ceremony
During my high school pre-STPM (A levels equivalent) days, me and my buddies used to go back to school to study at night. It was an excuse to get out of the house at nite as much as to study. Believe me, study we did because all my life as a student, I have never studied as hard as I did for the freaking STPM!!!! The farking exam is DAMMMM Hard ok!! HARD!!! especially the stoopid accounting paper ( a story for another time!)
Anyways, my school is very old. About 100 odd years already and there are a lot of stories of it being haunted and all. Especially the boys toilet as it was said that during the Japanese oocupation of Malaysia, it was used as a torture chamber. At night, it was not even lit, so imagine going to take a leak in a supposed haunted underground toilet with no lights. NO WAY DOODS! "The pee just wont come out man" claimed a poor victim who braved it once!
So, what we sane boys used to do then was to use the only girls toilet available. Above ground and brightly lit!! (our school only admit girls for form six). Pee sure come out!!
Then one nite after studying and talking cock for a bit, I decide to go take a leak. As I step into the cubicle, I noticed to my farking horror a used Kotex/Whisper/Freedom (whatever you call it) lying on top of the toilet!
"CHOI,DIU, Tai kat lai see!!! "i said loudly.
Al and Andy heard it and came over to kepoh and see what the hell is going on. Both of them went "DIIIIUUUUUU!!!!, CHOI!!!" ( Diu means Fark in cantonese while Choi can be used to mean Shit or Damm or away with da bad luck)
After Diu-ing and Choi-ing for the umpteenth time, the three of us then decide to do the right thing. Dispose of it as we were after all users of the toilet at nite. Hence, Al went about the prefects room and found a thong and with it, he grabbed the "thing" and walked out of the toilet and asked how and where to dispose it!
"Dumb fark, of course rubbish bin la diu!" says me.
Just then, all of us looked at each other and an evil thought flashed into our brains at the same time.
We noticed Hak Kwai (Black Ghost), another friend of ours is still diligently and hard-workingly studying back in the classroom. While the 3 of us are hardly studying at that time. So Al thought that Hak Kwai needed to take a break and have a bit of Kit Kat time.
He brought the "thing" with him into the classroom and slowly commando crept close enough to Hak Kwai (Black Ghost) and when he was in position, he dropped it "Kerplonk!!" skillfully right smack on his text book which he was hardworkingly staring at!
"CRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSH BING BANG BOOM!!!" As Hak Kwai jumped like a jack rabbit dumped onto a hot pan in fear of that "thing" on his book and pushed the table with his book on it for almost 5 feet away from him!
Next thing we know was, "Muthafarkers, diu nia sing (fark yr sing), Sei chai(dead kid), mah chao hai, hum ka fu kwa (whole family get rich)i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOI!!!!!!!" coming out of Hak Kwai's mouth and the look on his face drained the blood from our veins as all three of us ran for our lives / split 3 ways!!
Of coz, me and Al being the fit bastards can sprint the fastest all except for Andy, with his added bulk he can manage to last a only a few mins....in the end after running around the whole blardy school we decided to face the music and let Hak Kwai confront us.
He was farking us left, right, center, frontside as well as backside all!! In the end he sputtered the words...
"Fark la you cibai farkers!! I am gonna fail my GP coz U farkers throw that Sui (means bad) "thing" onto my book!!! Fark! Fark! I am doomed u farkers!!! Diu all of you! This kind of sui thing also you all play with! Farks!"
After a few more rounds of farks, we came out with a champion idea!
We decided to Buang the Sui (Buang means throw in Malay) by BURNING THE BOOK!!
Hence, the ritual is set and with all of us circled around the book. Andy said something like "Ok by burning this sui book! Your sui luck will disappear with it! and you will NOT FAIL the exam!!" With that, Al torched the bloody book!
When the ceremony was over, Hak Kwai said " Diu!"
I answered "Diu what now? Your sui buangded already!!! No worries man! lets go for supper!!"
After I said that I kena hantamed one time "kow-kow" (means strongly) on the head by the Hak Kwai.
"Diu u la eat! My book now torched how da fark am I suppose to study now U stupid farkers!!!. Farking book cost 15 bucks you know u cheebyes!" He added "Supper my ass la, I will still farking fail now for sure coz I have no book to study!! Dumbfarkers and it's all you guy's FAULT!"
We felt extremely bad after that and we decided once more to do the right thing. Buy him back a new book. Diu! Yeah right do the right thing stupid farkers we all. Hence, we pooled our money 5 bucks each and got the Hak Kwai a new book the next day.
And guess in the end, the book burning ceremony worked coz the muthason Hak Kwai today is a successful civil enginneer, married to a champion wife and blessed with a baby girl!!
Come to think of it, it was Al, me and Andy who got the sui from that farking "Thing"....we ended up paying 5 bucks each for buying back a perfectly normal book, in great condition which we burned becoz of that "thing" as well as feeling like a total arse after kena farked by Hak Kwai and not to mention, spoiling the mood for supper that night!! (which is what I looked forward the most whenever we study in school at nite)
Anyways, my school is very old. About 100 odd years already and there are a lot of stories of it being haunted and all. Especially the boys toilet as it was said that during the Japanese oocupation of Malaysia, it was used as a torture chamber. At night, it was not even lit, so imagine going to take a leak in a supposed haunted underground toilet with no lights. NO WAY DOODS! "The pee just wont come out man" claimed a poor victim who braved it once!
So, what we sane boys used to do then was to use the only girls toilet available. Above ground and brightly lit!! (our school only admit girls for form six). Pee sure come out!!
Then one nite after studying and talking cock for a bit, I decide to go take a leak. As I step into the cubicle, I noticed to my farking horror a used Kotex/Whisper/Freedom (whatever you call it) lying on top of the toilet!
"CHOI,DIU, Tai kat lai see!!! "i said loudly.
Al and Andy heard it and came over to kepoh and see what the hell is going on. Both of them went "DIIIIUUUUUU!!!!, CHOI!!!" ( Diu means Fark in cantonese while Choi can be used to mean Shit or Damm or away with da bad luck)
After Diu-ing and Choi-ing for the umpteenth time, the three of us then decide to do the right thing. Dispose of it as we were after all users of the toilet at nite. Hence, Al went about the prefects room and found a thong and with it, he grabbed the "thing" and walked out of the toilet and asked how and where to dispose it!
"Dumb fark, of course rubbish bin la diu!" says me.
Just then, all of us looked at each other and an evil thought flashed into our brains at the same time.
We noticed Hak Kwai (Black Ghost), another friend of ours is still diligently and hard-workingly studying back in the classroom. While the 3 of us are hardly studying at that time. So Al thought that Hak Kwai needed to take a break and have a bit of Kit Kat time.
He brought the "thing" with him into the classroom and slowly commando crept close enough to Hak Kwai (Black Ghost) and when he was in position, he dropped it "Kerplonk!!" skillfully right smack on his text book which he was hardworkingly staring at!
"CRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSH BING BANG BOOM!!!" As Hak Kwai jumped like a jack rabbit dumped onto a hot pan in fear of that "thing" on his book and pushed the table with his book on it for almost 5 feet away from him!
Next thing we know was, "Muthafarkers, diu nia sing (fark yr sing), Sei chai(dead kid), mah chao hai, hum ka fu kwa (whole family get rich)i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOI!!!!!!!" coming out of Hak Kwai's mouth and the look on his face drained the blood from our veins as all three of us ran for our lives / split 3 ways!!
Of coz, me and Al being the fit bastards can sprint the fastest all except for Andy, with his added bulk he can manage to last a only a few mins....in the end after running around the whole blardy school we decided to face the music and let Hak Kwai confront us.
He was farking us left, right, center, frontside as well as backside all!! In the end he sputtered the words...
"Fark la you cibai farkers!! I am gonna fail my GP coz U farkers throw that Sui (means bad) "thing" onto my book!!! Fark! Fark! I am doomed u farkers!!! Diu all of you! This kind of sui thing also you all play with! Farks!"
After a few more rounds of farks, we came out with a champion idea!
We decided to Buang the Sui (Buang means throw in Malay) by BURNING THE BOOK!!
Hence, the ritual is set and with all of us circled around the book. Andy said something like "Ok by burning this sui book! Your sui luck will disappear with it! and you will NOT FAIL the exam!!" With that, Al torched the bloody book!
When the ceremony was over, Hak Kwai said " Diu!"
I answered "Diu what now? Your sui buangded already!!! No worries man! lets go for supper!!"
After I said that I kena hantamed one time "kow-kow" (means strongly) on the head by the Hak Kwai.
"Diu u la eat! My book now torched how da fark am I suppose to study now U stupid farkers!!!. Farking book cost 15 bucks you know u cheebyes!" He added "Supper my ass la, I will still farking fail now for sure coz I have no book to study!! Dumbfarkers and it's all you guy's FAULT!"
We felt extremely bad after that and we decided once more to do the right thing. Buy him back a new book. Diu! Yeah right do the right thing stupid farkers we all. Hence, we pooled our money 5 bucks each and got the Hak Kwai a new book the next day.
And guess in the end, the book burning ceremony worked coz the muthason Hak Kwai today is a successful civil enginneer, married to a champion wife and blessed with a baby girl!!
Come to think of it, it was Al, me and Andy who got the sui from that farking "Thing"....we ended up paying 5 bucks each for buying back a perfectly normal book, in great condition which we burned becoz of that "thing" as well as feeling like a total arse after kena farked by Hak Kwai and not to mention, spoiling the mood for supper that night!! (which is what I looked forward the most whenever we study in school at nite)

Appendix!
Went to visit me friend Harvie who just had her appendix taken out. Ouch!. Thought she would be lying in bed and grimacing in pain but to my surprise, I found her sitting up and yakking away with D, Mins and 2 other friends in the room.
Immediately, I felt a sense of relief as she seems to be her normal self, hence I popped in and join in the conversation. First thing I asked was, " Where's the appendix??!, Can I see it??"
To my disappointment, it was nowhere to be found in the room. Damm! But then again, maybe it's better that I dont see it coz I realise that I have not taken lunch. Whew!
As usual, flowers from friends and well wishers trickle into the room as we are yakking away and D suddenly explained why he did not bring any, although the thought did flash in his head to bring some. According to him, since he has never bought flowers for the W. He thought it would not be fair if he buys it for Harvie. What a guy eh!!
As for me, I just told her that by coming to see her, it's better than any flowers! Flowers cant entertain her as I do! Those cards with 1 to 2 lines in it can only sustain her attention for less than 1 minute while I, I can keep her entertained for hours if time and hospital rules permit!
"Fark the flowers!" I said. D asked if I meant it literally. I answeredNO! Think I nuts or what???? Siow!! (means crazy in Hokkien)
But if I do literally fark the flowers, I jolly well make sure there are no bees, wasps, kerengga or whatever shite there is that might take a bite at me!! Or else I will end up in the bed next to Harvie either grimacing in pain, or scratching a bad itch or high on morphine!!
Anyways, after Mins and her two other friends left, things kind of quietened down a little. And I noticed only then that Harvie grimaced in pain. Damm!! Hope it's not because of me making her laugh too much until her stitches burst!! But then again, cannot be, coz according to her, the Docs only made 2 keyhole incisions instead of cutting her up open like opening the hood of your car like that to remove the useless bugger of an appendix!!

Ah....it sounds like Basi-nak ke? (in malay it means "it's rotten, still want?")
Johnny Bravo says:
bout late twenties
Johnny Bravo says:
today me very interested in the training lah
Johnny Bravo says:
how can i take camera and takes her picture
G says:

G says:
ask her la alamak ask her to take wif u la
Johnny Bravo says:
i only just met her today
G says:
just walks up tp her and say she's gorgeous!
Johnny Bravo says:
sounds damn desperrate man u r MAD
Johnny Bravo says:
i have to maintain an image u know
G says:
dood in them chicas they like straight forward and sincere ppel la dey!
Johnny Bravo says:
i am trying to become regional CEO !!! Yes but I am asian
G says:
she like one
Johnny Bravo says:
and the rest of me collegues in the room that hears how habis harapan aku
G says :
No worries
G says:
is fr loves
G says:
they understands
Johnny Bravo says:
u talk nonsense!!! nonsense i tells u
G says:
no u never watch Love Actually meh
Johnny Bravo says:
meaning
Johnny Bravo says:
i watch many times
G says:
u gots to goes fr wat u want
G says:
sit there talk ends up with naught
Johnny Bravo says:
yes i c
G says:
so goes
Johnny Bravo says:
k
Johnny Bravo says:
i will send emails later to her!
*** at this point I really think I know what the hell I am talking about! and the dood is really taking my advice - LOL!***
G says:
ask her fo coffee
Johnny Bravo says:
to her she is on the global address and i will bring her the coffeee
G says:
tells her that she is da most beautiful woman she meets
G says:
u ever meets
G says:
and tells her something strange happened today
**** hahahaha honestly I will NEVER do so meself *****
Johnny Bravo says:
i will tell her that me fren who has never met her thinks that she is the prettiest chcik he has never met, becos of me descrition of her
Johnny Bravo says:
wat strange thing happened today
G says:
u felt like the whole world suddenly became so much more beautiful
**** puking my gutts out already!!! LOL ****
G says:
and u have a happy,anxious feeling inside that u have never felt since long long time ago
Johnny Bravo says:
but she is really quite cute
G says:
goes befrens her la
G says:
dood u gots nothing to loooooooooooooose but everything to gaaaaaaaaaaaaaain (coz already start as loser so nothing much more can lose la....as me thinks in me head)
G says:
just like me and me GF
**** here's where me epiphany came about which will eventually lead to another post of mine here regarding mathematics....****
G says:
no GF = G becomes a singularity!
Johnny Bravo says:
nonsesnse !!!!!
G says:
with GF = The Grouch + happiness which equates to a happy Grouch!
G says:
understand
Johnny Bravo says:
i c
G says:
so...without Genie = Johnny Bravo - the zero
G says:
with Genie = Johnny Bravo + Fren
G says:
If Genie is +ve attracted to Johnny Bravo then + Happiness+Potential GF / No more ZERO!
G says:
See da equation???
(Me thinks in me head after /You aint a ZERO loser no more...u have a Genie with u + mebbe 3 wishes...hmmmm)
Johnny Bravosays:
and potential place to crash in da UK in the future
G says:
YA!
Johnny Bravo says:
wat nonsense !
G says:
IF Johnny Bravo is -ve / Then Johnny Bravo = 0
G says:
Johnny Bravo = sadness (Loooooooooser)
G says:
Johnny Bravo = Loser
Johnny Bravo says:
u are so nice call me loser all
G says:
not me
G says:
that is da equation
G says:
how it moves
G says:
how it equates
G says:
very simple
Johnny Bravo says:
the equation is all done by u
G says:
yes and thru sheer grit and understanding of how life works
*** ABOVE here at this point was me moment of epiphany that mathematics is very easy indeed!! And to think I used to fail em all....****
Johnny Bravo says:
so what is says is what u are saying
G says:
its always a + / - game
G says:
IF u are positive..u will + stuff
G says:
if u are negative, u will negate life
G says:
and chances
G says:
and opportunities
Johnny Bravo says:
i c
G says:
simple rule of life
Johnny Bravo says:
i c i wil listen to u and tells u wat happens
G says:
ok got + (means ADD) something to your life
Johnny Bravo says:
i wil see how it goes
G says:
objects appear before us, is there fr a reason
G says:
persons as well
G says:
just go say hi
G says:
if the math is correct
G says:
all will add up
G says:
my philosophy champion or not?
At this point Johnny Bravo went to action on it la....I cant believe I can come up with such crap in such a short span of time....Guess that day I was inspired!!!!

Men of Steel - I think not!
I had a brush with mortality the other day. To be precise the mortality of a kid on a bike (a Honda cup 110cc) who zipped right in front of my car as I was making a left turn after the traffic light on the turning lane. He served, skillfully avoiding my car and maneuvered his bike as if he was cutting corners in MotoGP and ended up onto the pedestrian walk.
I almost killed him.
Or so the thought did flash in front of me. Strange though, I thought I would be angry at him for almost denting my pristine driving machine when he pulled the stunt. The anger only came later when I saw his smug look as he stopped at the pedestrian corner.
He stopped, turned and clearly avoiding any eye contact with me to check out the traffic behind and sped off. To his side, a dumbfounded, jaw's clearly dropped to the ground pedestrian who bore witnessed to the Evel Kneivel stunt.
What is it exactly with motorcyclist? Do they think they are made of steel?? Clearly not, as just today as I was reading the news, 2 motorcyclists died over the weekend. One a rider and the other a pillion rider.
Perhaps it is the thrill of having a 110 horsepower and metal grasped between their thighs which may have an effect on testosterone production. In short, give them the balls to do the stuff they do.
Riding a bike, is thrilling I must say. But shouldn't there be some form of self control when one i riding down a busy highway or when one is having an innocent (thrill sharing) party behind? I am guessing most do but a few don't. Also, on 2 wheels, don't you think that the tire grip versus high speed does not work hand in hand? On top of that, in a rainy country where puddles can easily form on roads would deter people from going at too high a speed. Sadly, some don't think so.
For they think they are invincible. Supermen. Men of steel. Sadly, though when they do fall, it usually end up proving them wrong. From smug speed demons to whimpering cry babies as they feel the pain, see the blood they spilled and carnage they can leave behind all due to their stupidity.
