Of handphones and funerals

This post is dedicated to 2 of my former handphones....
Unfortunately both died terrible deaths

First phone :- Siemens C150(not sure), 2001-2002, death by falling on ground
Second phone :- Alcatel OT511, 2002-2003, death by falling into sea

Let us share a moment of silence in remembrance of these brave souls...
May they find a better place up there.....Rest In Peace

-This post is a product of the poster suffering from writer's bloc...Symptoms include posting nonsense, staring at pc screen, and losing the ability to think properly...The cure? Watch PORN..Nah...a good rest might do the job-

Of new neighbours and noisy construction works

New Year!! New neighbours!!
The house opposite mine is currently undergoing renovation work...So I can expect the new family to move in approx. after Chinese New Year....

What bothers me is the amount of construction work being done to the house....Poor poor house...
Most would have been happy with new walls, new gates, maybe new roof tilings and such...
Unfortunately, our new family thinks its best to knock down the walls, do some extensions, build up new rooms and annoy the heck out of me.

Why? Work starts at 8 in the morning and ends at 7 in the evening..That's like half a day listening to the drillings, hammerings and such...And unfortunately for me, 2 of my sleep sessions are in between the 8-7 time frame.I couldn't even watch television.All i could hear is construction works going on(ngeeeeeeee.....kong kong kong)

I hope the new family would not be as annoying as the construction works when they move in.They've already have their "palace" so now give us back our peace and quiet. If not...."Somebody get me the Pentagon...Its time we nuke these bastards..Wuahahahha"

-Today marks the 4th week that construction work have been done to the house...God please save me from this tragedy-

Of metrosexuals and why I am not one

Unfortunately the word metrosexual returned zero results from both Oxford and Cambridge online dictionaries..
So..What is a metrosexual anyway?
As far as I know it is a term to describe a man who is presentable, well-groomed, clean shaven and a good-looker.
If you're thinking it, NO!! I'm not gay!!
Reason for starting this topic?
Through the power of observation I noticed that metrosexuals grab more attention and have better luck with the ladies.(Actually I'm jealous)

So am I a metrosexual? Hell NO! I'm proud of who I am...I've broken every law of metro sexualness...From the TSS(T-shirt, Shorts, Sandals) to me facial hair and to the fact that I don't use any products to enhance my appearance(don't have to la...damn ugly dee)

So do i grab more attention? No...maybe only the wrong kind
What about my luck with the ladies? Could be better..
So why not convert to a metro? Its better to be myself then being someone I'm not

P.S. This post is dedicated to my mate Brother Chang....Don't lose out to the metros bro...Keep the macho spirit alive....hahahahaha

Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! Ow....

-the above post does not include any gayish influence...so stop thinking about it-

Of handphone numbers and calculations

Got this in my mail....
Give it a try...

Is this your h/p number?
1)key-in the first 3 digits of your handphone number (not the 01x> number) into the calculator
2) multiply by 80
3) add 1
4) multiply by 250
5) plus last four digit of phone number
6) plus last four digit of phone number again
7) minus 250
8) divide by 2 at last
Is this your handphone number????
AMAZING ISN'T IT !!!

Of dengue and why I hate mosquitoes

Recently there is a dengue scare in our country...and I don't blame them...
I mean...Look at all the mosquitoes around...Never in my life have I seen so many of them nasty buggers...
I do not have a grudge against mosquitoes but now I do...Why? It seems that my feet are turning out to be their dinner-table...And I can't stand it when they have a go at me feet....It's like...it's like....it's like shit!!
They have become my enemy...and my mission?? Search and destroy!!!
So everyone!!! Join in the fight...Arm yourselves with Shieldtox....Bring along some Mopiko just in case you're bitten....We'll hunt each and everyone of them buggers down!!!

*Psssssttttttttttt* There goes my Shieldtox....3 down and only about a billion to go....

Of Chinese New Year and my relatives

It's that time of the year again...where all my aunties and uncles and cousins and people I don't even know start interrogating me....Yes! I hate it! I think it's sort of f**ked up that they want to compare me with their own offsprings...So why me? Cause I'm the eldest son of my family. My dad is the eldest in his family. And my mom is the eldest in her family. And this puts me in a position of importance(Nah..I'm just crapping)

Below are a few scenes which I have experienced during every New year...The answers in black is what I actually answered them and the answers in red are actually the answers that are in my mind

Aunty :- Ah Boy...lu balu tak hami chek liao? Wa eh kia ai cho lok kun liao.(What are you studying now? My son is about to be a doctor)
Me :- Oh...wa balu tak tua oak nia(I'm just studying in high school)
Cho lok kun ou kuan wa hami su(What has your son being a doctor got to do with me)

Aunty :- Ah Boy...Ou girlfriend liao boay?(Do you have a girlfriend yet?)
Me :- Errrrrr.....
Bo kuan lu eh su ma...kin...koay ka pek leh?(It has nothing to do with you...quick...serve the love letters)

Uncle :- Wahhh....chit pang tua chiak liao hoh? (Wahhh...You've grown big)
Me :- Hehe...Chiak chey ma(Hehe...Eating a lot)
Kong wa pui ma tiok bo? Lu eh kia masi si pek pui.(Calling me fat???Your son is just as fat)

Aunty :- Lai lai....hoh lu test wa eh cha bo kia eh chia(Come come...I let u test my daughter's car)[Peugeot 206cc]
Me :- Bey yau kin la aunty...pai seh pai seh(It's okay aunty...It's just not proper)
Cai lu eh cha bo kia ou 206.....ko ai tien meh?(I know your daughter has a 206...no need for showing off)

Errrmmmm...unfortunately I could only remember this much...It's 12am already la...Blur leh
Though I hate them for asking questions similiar to the above but I just get to see them only once a year...So i guess its better for me to shut up...stay cool and start receiving "ang paus"...
Anyway stay tune for part 2...We'll have to see what 2005 and the year of the cock(rooster...not THAT cock) has in stall for me....Till part 2...Cheers

Of life and death

Guys...Ever heard of the song "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw?
I felt the song had a very good meaning in it....And I'd love to share it with you all...
Below is a small part of the song....

He said I was in my early forties....with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days....looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do and he said

I went sky diving...I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Life is short...Live it to the fullest....Cheers all...

Of singing at the back of lecture theatres

"Why do birds, suddenly appear? Everytime..You are near..
Just like me....They long to be...Close to you" -Close to you...by The Carpenters-

ahh...one of the classic songs that was sung at the back of lecture theatres throughout my 6th form years.
Actually...Why do we do it? Is it because we're seeking attention? Or is the 6th form syllabus taking a toll on us?Releasing study pressure perhaps? Whatever the reason, we always had fun when we're singing at the back of the class. Yes!! We do get stares from the other students(like they're gonna murder us or something).

And who are my partners in crime??
Drum roll please...jeng jeng jeng jeng...my brothers Chang Yan Wai, Julian Chin, Hor Zian Khang, Edwin Lee(chinese rapper), Jiwan, Woo Yuen Thern, Thopson Ooi
These guys deserve a special mention...I love all of them(not in a gayish way)..hahahahaha
Thanx brothers for all the good times....The below is a little something for u all....Cheers

"So I say....Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty....What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me"

-Thank You For The Music...by ABBA-

Of being champions of the interclass volleyball tournament

2004 saw a a big first for me..It was the first time that I had been part of a tournament winning team.
We took the title of volleyball champions after a tough 3 set battle in the finals.
As the crowd's cheering grow and the sparkling wine flow(champagne too expensive..oops), I felt proud that I was able to be part of a team which places importance on teamwork and that we managed to put our differences aside and strive for the good of our class.(Actually we're not that good, just that the other teams are bad...Nah...I'm just kidding)

So I say to you...Congratulations U6SC3
Special thanks to my fellow volleyball players :- Captain Zack(thanx for giving me the chance bro), Teoh Hong Wooi, Christopher Tan, Teoh Kok Meng, Yeoh Yee Junn, Woo Yuen Thern and to the rest of my classmates who cheered us on.(If I left anyone out...sorry...growing old...can't remember much)

P.S. We won because we wanted to spray sparkling wine on each other...To lose and spray sparkling wine would be just outright embarassing(I'll be hiding in the toilet if u need me)..hahahha...Cheers all

Of shoes and a lesson well learnt

Just the other day I was wandering around a local shopping mall when I happened to stumble upon a mother and her daughter, picking out shoes for the latter. The daughter was trying on about 5-6 different types of shoes. At the end of the day she picked out 2 pairs, a blue 1 and a white 1 which somehow looked like a pair of school shoes.(Adrian...you should know which pair i'm tokin bout =D )

So I decided to be a bit kaypo(nosy) and checked out how much those shoes costs.
RM260 for the white
RM240 for the blue

I peered down at my feet...a pair of RM5 slippers on them and wonder.."Why do some people actually spend so much on shoes.Even if they did, do they really need 2 pairs at once?"

This reminds me of a story my mom used to tell me when I was small. The story might have been retold in different versions but my mom's version goes a little something like this:-
"Molly recently bought a pair of branded shoes. It costs her mom, who was working many jobs to make ends meet, a third of her monthly salary. One day, mom and Molly walked past a shoe shop, which happened to be displaying a new pair of shoes which is just as expensive as the ones Molly have. She wanted it badly. Her mom couldn't afford it. She pulled Molly out of the shop, into the streets and pointed towards an old, sickly man. Molly noticed he doesn't have legs. Thus she realised that there are many unlucky people who will never have the chance to put on shoes and she should appreciate what she has with her now."

Fine fine....I was actually kinda jealous that the daughter was able to get 2 pairs of brand new shoes.
BUT...i've also learned to appreciate the things I have.
Want a good example? Back to my RM5 slippers....It's entering its fifth year wiv me...and it still looks like its new.

Moral of this post? Always appreciate what you have.
Where to find those slippers? Pasar malam of course....Cheers.....

Of life in the fast lane


i'm pretty proud of this achievement by the way...i mean...200 kph? that's like super fast rite? Posted by Hello anyway for those who still haven't figure it out...the pic above is edited(surprise surprise) see the red light thingy that's on? Yup...you've guessed it...It's the door-left-open-light. Now wouldn't it be strange to travel at 200kph with the doors open? Hmmmm..... And NO the digital 2.00 is not a clock....it's my heart rate metre...200 beats per minute!! crazy huh? =D

Of friendster and such

Ahh....Friendster...The website where one searches for their friends and friend's friends...and so on la
Are people actually using Friendster to keep in touch with their friends...OR....

is it actually a popularity contest? hmmm? The more friends the more popular you are?
I have seen some with 20 accounts...and as far as I know...1 account holds about 500 friends
So let's do the simple maths thing and 20 x 500 = 10 000
10 000 friends? Yeah...in your blardy dreams pal.....

I bet its the same 500 who added through your 20 accounts
So hey...Guess i just have to get 500 friends and ask them to add me through 20-30 accounts
"Weeeeee.....i'm popular!!! Just another 400 friends more to go..Weeeeee!!"

Of Chinese New Year and driver attitudes

A few more days to Chinese New Year!! Wooo hooo!!
Another period of where we can witness the dumbest acts ever commited by a driver.
Driving against a one way street? Seen that!
Stopping in the middle of the road while reading map? Typical!
Running the red lights? Too many!!
Throwing tit bits and rubbish out the car? Always(got their pics as proof too)

So in order to keep my blood pressure at a low and to keep the road rage beast in me from appearing, I guess its best to stay home and wait for the "ang pows"(red packets) to come.
Nah I'm just kidding..."Nurse...I need some anti-depressants quick!!"

Of a certain chemistry teacher

I hate chemistry!! It's the most senseless and time wasting subject I've ever learned. I go to school to gain knowledge and not learn what happens when you mix chemical A and chemical B. Like I give a damn!!

It is most unfortunate however that a certain teacher(which we shall refer to as BG) was given the oppurtunity to impart her chemical knowledge to us.This was in my Lower 6 year or in 2003.

I've never heard of her at all for the 5 years I spent in Saints. So who is she? She's the woman who directly or indirectly insulted my mentality.

How did it happen? Just so happen that i couldn't answer her question(alright alright...i don't do homework..so?) and guess what happend? Yeah, she told me i should go back to the 5th form. Funny?NO!! Laughable? Absolutely not! Rude? Very much thank you.
