Hey, to everyone who actually reads my xanga blog, please redirect yourselves here. I have been using blogger.com for quite some time already. Quite frequent updates there since it began. And it's probably time I shut down this old xanga site, since it has gotten stale like...ages ago. I will close down this site completely, exactly one month from now.

Enjoy the new site.

I have been unable to totally forget an event that has been atrociously bad.

What seems to be that event? Jazz Fest'05. Shelley Leong.

She's a stupid singer, and she doesn't want to admit it.

She can't sing a proper jazz song for bloody nuts.

Skippy dee doo dah, go skip on the yellow brick road to la-la land you 'shelley leong-ish' fool.

Never will I ever listen to your bleeding music again.

Maybe I should do this..I will update this blog once every month.

Should I?

Yes I should.

Has the world realized that, crude oil, petrol, or whatsoever natural resources are depleting?

That includes the air that we breathe.

Just one day, when all trees and natural forests gets burned down, torched and said bye bye to, we humans are gonna be wiped out by the uber supreme bird flu.

So, what are we gonna do about these resource depleting prowess of ours?

Just to put it simply, I don't give a flying cow about it.

Why?

No idea. I just like depleting resources.

Wow, almost a month plus since I updated this old thing huh?

I shall begin with my earliest event that happened to me this year, which happened only 3 weeks back, the event which I call: College Reopens to destroy students.

After finding out that I have again failed Figure Studies 1 and along with Computer Graphics 2, I have to see the darned hag biatch of the SRA dept. She's the ugliest of the most foul. I wonder why does she always have to be THAT rude.

Aight, 2nd most recent event is...erm...OH! DURIFTO IN BKT JALIL! THE KINGS WERE HERE IN M'SIA!!

I should have posted this up when the hype was still in me a week plus back. I hope I still have that hype in me.A week back, apparently, a Saturday, a bunch of friends and I headed down to Bukit Jalil Stadium. We were revved up for an event that will be burnt totally into the depths of our noodle. We were going to see the masters of the motorsport, widely known as, drifting. We were going to meet the King of Drift himself, direct from Japan, in the flesh, Keiichi Tsuchiya! Not forgetting the wacky D1 Grand Prix World Champion, Yasuyuki Kazama!Upon arrival at the stadium which our country proudly erected for the Commonwealth games in 98', we were suprised at the number of people who were already there.This was the first car that we all spotted right after parking the car. It's a Toyota Supra for you retarded people who don't give a shit about knowing cars. A beautiful machine that has it's production line halted by Toyota. Sad.This was spotted along the way to the event area. It's a Honda CRX with a widebody kit. Looks charming enough. Widebody kit still in progress, it's still chunky allover.This picture was really not intended at all, I mean, who would want to take a picture of a Perodua Myvi which has been totaled? I looked closer to what seems to be a signature..and I just had to grab a picture. Click to enlarge people. By the way, the totaled area is the rear axle of the car. The driver totally owned the rear axle.We watched a demo by Malaysia's top speed demons, Tengku Djan and some dude..driving Malaysia's pride and joy, Proton vehicles. *shudder* Tengku Djan is, from what I've heard, won the last Merdeka Endurance race. I watched them race around cones and signboards and listened to one of Senario's cast comment on whats happening throughout the day. That annoying sunnavabeach, someone shut him up please.These are the Malaysian celebrities who are going to try out the track. Here they are taking a course walk while being briefed on safety precautions by some safety marshal. "Be safe yarr.." "Err, ape tu safe ah?" I'd die of laughter.As usual, hardcore drift fans won't stay around to look at celebrities take it out slowly on the tarmac in Proton Savvy's. We headed to see the cars that are on show. We spotted a monster.An Idemitsu RX-7. It's specs are still a mystery as no one cares to share with us. Fucken dumbass stingy cheebyes. It's not like we are gonna steal your mods.The interior of the Idemitsu RX-7. Everything has been stripped down to further lighten the load of the car. Did you know that a normal stock car seat weighs at least 30kgs? Sparco bucket seats weigh only 1/5's of the stock car seat? This car has been loaded with so much, that it's totally heartbreaking to not see nitrous tanks around.More cars on display. These are competitors I think. Nissans too! Gotta love Nissan. 180SX, 240SX, Fairlady, Skyline, Terrano...ahh.We headed back to the track hoping to see a drift event and guess what we saw? An event! A cleaning truck was cleaning up the debris and turning round and round in circles! Amazing stuff! Totally awesome, know why? People were actually crowding to see it!Suddenly, we had groundbreaking news from afar, our good friend has been scouting around for his idol and he has indeed found him! Inside a tent that we have been walkking past countless times! We actually went papparazi on Tsuchiya-san!Fucking bouncer chased us off. Keiichi-san! I RUV JOO!!! Mr.Tsuchiya and Mr.Kazama were planning out the drift lines for the competition later.This is a Toyota Trueno AE86. A legend on the driting scene. Or maybe a legend to those who have watched Initial D. This is the car that started it all on Mt.Akina. That dude in the R3 t-shirt is putting ice in the bottle of something that does something to the car. Hmm.The plans finally made it's appearance and this is how it looks like. Totally rocks to see it live.Competitor: Tsuchiya-san, can you explain the red lines and cones?Tsuchiya: *gibberish* kons-durifto lines des...*groan*This car was getting prepped up and ready. The real drift event is about to begin! Sweet!!The red Waja SR20 is being driven by the king himself and Kazama-san is driving the D1 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R. Extreme durifto!!AAfter watching the demo by the masters, we went to see a Toyota Supra that has been modded by Haltech Racing.This is the owner of the Supra. Who is a forumer on one of the streetracing forums. Nice man. I will upload a video of him showing off the Supra's true colors.And finally we near the end of this post. I got a photo with the wacky Yasukyuki Kazama! Funny man. Gotta love him for his hilarious antics.

Lama tak update blog ni ha...

About time I did anyway.

Kinda went to KLPac to watch the play, Julius Ceasar. I am such a sucker for plays like this. Not knowing the outcome of what's gonna happen, I drove up all the way to KLPac just to watch this play. Particularly why is, a church mate of mine is playing a part in this play. He is an excellent actor and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Truth is, with all that driving and high hopes to see the greatest play I've ever watched in my entire life, it turned out...honestly speaking, totally bogus.

They spoke with such formality..all that thee thy thou, omeegawd. Do Romans actually speak like that? Plus, the storyline is SO deep, I couldn't even catch a single word that is coming out of their mouth. Patrick Teoh and other dude who played "Brutus" had a really really long scene in the beginning. It was so draggy, I couldn't even stay awake to understand it! Not to say that it's horrible or what not, just sometimes, you just have to cut to the chase!! GET TO THE POINT! Don't use mumbo jumbo and expect us to understand! Well, I was asleep all the way till a scene where Julius Caesar got stabbed by his followers. That scene was the most amazing. Red flashing lights and slow mo stabbing effect. Utter coolness! But the only con from that scene is..the flashing red lights lasted too long. Believe me, an old man could've died in a fit from watching that scene. Anyone could've gotten spasms by keeping their eyes wide open during the flashing of red lights and stabbing of Caesar. I was one of them, shuddering during the scene. And then I stayed up for the rest of the play, trying my best to understand whatver the actors are trying to say. Unsuprisingly, my brain functioned like a rock.

All of that was totally not worth my time and energy, but guess what? We spotted Jason Lo! He was at the play with a buncha goons. Don't really know who they are, but we didn't care to even guess.

Jason Lo sat here! The yellow seat! OMG! It's so cool! (f**k...like jakun jer)

Anyway, the whole buncha us went looking for food in Petaling Street after the dissapointing play. A trio of duddettes had to leave due to some unforseen consequences, and a few more had to leave because they had...other plans, just leaving a small group of..us-es. 3 Klangies, 3 Subangers. Hmm, quite interesting. ONE of the 3 Subangers is a 12 year old, also called The Small One, aka, my younger brother. He came with me to watch a play even I couldn't understand! Cool..right? Back to Petaling Street! EeMay has this really cool friend named, Davina. She is like ultra hyper for duck rice. I don't really know why the obsession, but I intend to find out. Walking around Petaling Street looking at random stuff, and finally settling down getting something to eat. And then, my sudden need for Beef Noodles sprung up. I had to look for the stall that me and cousins ate at last time. And I set out alone looking for that stall. Walking all over some weird unexplored areas to look for just one Beef Noodle stall. But in the end, I realized, the stall is near BB Plaza. Not Petaling Street. Deary me, have I wasted all that energy looking for a stall that's not even around the vicinity? DAMN RIGHT I HAVE!! BLOODY HELL!

Giving up on looking for the BeefNoodles, the buncha us-es went back to look for dinner. Which took us back to Williams back in Kelana Jaya. Williams, the mamak that revolutionized the meaning of creativity thru simple mamak food. Pepperoni Cheese Naan? Butterprawn Indo-Mie? Ribena Longan!? Like how my BM lecturer would say: Walao EHH!! Ini benda KAU KAU!!

I'd say, it has been a very full day for me and the Small One. Tired, but I am truly satisfied. Lots of fun and totally random acts. Met a totally cool dudette, and yeah, it's pretty fun knowing her. Thus ends my day out in KL, away from home.

BUT it ends, not here. The ending is near, but yet, far away...how bout a short story, like how Sam"Man"Tan does hers.

In the beginning..there was a nation of crispy saucy crunchers that lived in harmony amongst each other. It was all great until one fateful day...they were made into..

Rojak. The inhumane javelins of agony arrives and starts attacking the poor crispy saucy crunchers!! They scream in agony as the javelins pierced their flimsy protective layering, drowning in their own pain and fear..they all disintergrated within the dark chambers filled with acid after getting swallowed by a gaping black hole.

With that, the javelins formed their own union on the ruins on which the crispy saucy crunchers suffered.

JAVELINS UNITE!! Together, they stand firm and strong! And eventually, they made their own sculpture, made of pale javelins, assembled to make a weird but profound sculpture.
Soon, things began to happen, there came the rebellion.

The white tube of the "Javelin Rebellion" made itself known but setting itself atop of the united javelins. Then came the red fluid of Doom-like colors. Coloring the neutral colors of the javelins, adding in life and spirit towards the boring neutral unity of the javelins. Much later, the modern age revealed itself to the united javelins and rebellion as a super reformed javelin. Made of pure Kruptin steel, the united javelins formed to become one deadly form that pierces thru almost any form that is less denser that it is.
And finally, the outcast, the reject, the modern deserter.

Booyah!!

Bloggers block. That's what I've been having lately, or I was just too damned lazy to post a couple of interesting stuff.

Truth is, I'm just damned lazy.

Only recently, my screwed up pc got reformatted. All my songs. 6GB of it, went *poof* missing. It sucks, but I'm redownloading most of it. With newer additions to it.

Heard of Coheed and Cambria?

It's a fusion between punk, emo and prog rock. Very nice vocals and tunes. Simply sweet, and a great addition to my 're-forming' collection of music.

The inevitable is close by.

Display of supremacy by Manchester United

Sun, 06 Nov 2005 18:58:19 GMT

Excellent game by Manchester United!! Seriously, the boys at Old Trafford had been suffering from the most turbulent season ever since their victory of the FA Cup last year. After taking such a beating by Middlesbrough in their last game they played, they've truly redeemed themselves by beating the Blues 1-0!!

Extraordianry gameplay by Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, Alan Smith, Cristiano Ronaldo and Darren Fletcher. Full frontal attack throughout the whole match, and super solid defense by John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, and Mikael Silvestre.

Chelsea being the champions of the last EPL season has fallen under Manchester United's supreme power in this round. Nevertheless, the Blues has put up all guns, trying to fend back from the wrath of the Red Devils, and a great job the Blues did, defending their way, keeping the Devils at bay with only one goal.

The Reds dominated the first half with Darren Fletcher scoring within the 31st minute into the game. If not for Wayne Rooney's quick footwork, the ball wouldn't have passed the Blue's heavy defense. The fiery tempered teenager has proven himself to the world that no goal is safe when a man is beyond enemy lines. Fletcher's looping header towards the goal is going to be one of United's best kept memories in their reign in EPL history. What they could not match in style, the Red Devils made up for in effort and direct running. In delivering long balls over the top, they also appeared to hit on an area of Chelsea weakness and Paul Scholes sent a shot whistling just wide after Wayne Rooney had chased down one long punt forward before cutting a fine pass back to his former England team-mate.

Despite Chelsea's record of 40 unbeaten games, their loss was taken very well, with grace as most would say. Unlike the Gunners, Arsenal, who fell into the Devils trap last year, on the same battleground, losing their 49 game unbeaten run. Jose Mourihno, being the expressionless manager himself did his team well by bringing up the Blue's spirit up during half time, setting up a heavy attack on the Devil's defense. Striking hard into the danger zone, Lampard and Gudjohnsen tried as hard as they might to get the ball further inside, but to no avail, Alan Smith was there, clearing the ball far off.

But Didier Drogba's sublime skill has brought a near goal in the beginning of the game, lightly touching the ball, letting it soar over United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar's head, only to be taken down by his humongous hands. And with that, Frank Lampard's 50-yard soarer towards the goal was taken down by a magnificent touch by a heavily criticised Rio Ferdinand.

Chelsea had United pinned down during the second half, but even with the help of extra 4 minutes, Chelsea's heavy barrage of attacks are in vain. But try as they might, they could not break the resistance set up by the Devils.

I've totally had it with some new parents nowadays.

I just had one of the worst few days in my entire life.

It's so freakin' annoying when people come to my house without me knowing it. Using my stuff, eating my food, and bloody hell, even PESTER ME ON WATCHING A GODDAMNED MOVIE!

You know what guys? The Halloween party? I'm just going to be freaking frank. It totally didn't work for me. But I really do appreciate it Samantha, for inviting me and organizing this event. But I just feel very uncomforatble in overly huge crowds. I've been a jerk on that day putting up such an act to get attention, and I apologize once again. The whole class thing staying in a hotel room doesn't work for me. Sorry. Anything like staying over for parties and stuff. Please, do me a favour. Never ask me to go again. Don't invite me. Seriously. I'm just going to be a party pooper. And shit stuff like that.

And what the hell is with my bloody nose?
Can't I for once just fall sick without involving flu and catching a cold?
OOh, I just had to fall sick by getting goddamned flu!

And oh, one more thing. Planet Waves? You know? The brand that makes instrument cables? They bloody suck. Ooh, funky stylo looking thingys "ensuring a good grip on the jet". What the?! It's CABLES! Plug in plug out! Why such a good grip!? Your stupid cables made me pull it out with a pair of pliers! Bloody hell. Why do even need such tight cable heads..

And oh yah, back to the beginning. The parents thing. I was in Carrefour today, doing a lil' grocery shooping. And when I got to the cashier, there was this 3 piece family. Dad, Mom, kid. Okay so, I don't mean to be racist. This was a Malay family. They had the baby in a pram. BUT, the kid was bawling, and bawling, and bawling her freakin lungs out. She's a 1 year old baby for gods sake! She's CRYING! PICK HER UP! The mom just stood there. Looking at the baby. The dad, as stone as ...A FREAKING ROCK. It's like they don't freaking give a shit of the baby. The kid was screaming, and crying out, arms reaching out, screaming and bawling, it was just hard to hold back the temptation to slap the freaking hell out of those two. Then only the father managed to bloody move and pick up the baby. She fell silent after that. The mom was like a total piece of shit standing there. Looking all...I-don't-give-a-shit-about-anything. Bloody hell. is that how some Malay families raise their kids? By not picking em up and consoling them?

I am so damned annoyed at how things work nowadays.

I haven't been to church for a long time. I miss being in church. I miss the worship. I miss the teachings. I miss the bossing around by other people. But you know what? I can't help it. I can't attend for several reasons. I can't wake up. Why? Late nights on the computer. Late nights with work. Or, it could be my health. I have been feeling extremely tired since I ever got my fricking drivers lisence.

My car is a drinker. Big one. It drinks so much, it's probably piss drunk now.

I still hate Shelley Leong for ruining my night during the Jazz Fest. I can't bloody forgive her for setting such an image for jazz. Shelley, YOU FREAKING SUCK! YOU CAN"T SING FOR BLOODY NUTS! So what if you have a voice? You still can't come up with lyrics that suits JAZZ music. You don't bloody SCAT and ZIPPE DE DOO DAH WHATEVER!

..freaking pissant...

Deprivation: Internet

To begin with, my phone line in my house, or whatsoever connections to the networks of billions and billions of links from my phone..it sucks.

My streamyx or TMnet or Telekom phone lines, are they biggest hindrance to my life, yet, I'm fully dependant on it.

Why?

I had the internet connected in my house since I was Std 4. My first computer when I was Std 3. So, with no doubt, I just had to get hooked on to the internet. By time I reached secondary school, when the internet has become more advanced, even more people got online, and then, there was the MSN Messenger, and alot of more stuff to satisfy the needs of the users around the world.

First, there was no point to all that senseless ramble up there. No point. Totally senseless, random ramble.

Only recently, my Streamyx(broadband) had been cut off due to late bills. Totally cut away from the internet for 5 days or so. Totally deprived from chatting online, getting to know new sites, and seeing my favourite graffiti artists works. Oh the funky colors..
BUT, I had my friends laptop to keep me company. DotA kept me busy while I waited for the lines to reconnect. And now, just only 2 nights ago, my phone lines in the entire house has got cut off to some unforseen consequences. Yet again, no internet. And my friends laptop is back with him. So, deprived and just longing to talk to someone online, I couldn't bear the boredom. I was so bored, I slept at 11pm. If the internet was on, I would've stayed up till 1am or so. My computer is only worthy of going online, and downloading music. Other than that, it's worth shit.

End of transmission.
