Holidays Next Week, Do I Smell Peace?

Still got so much work to do for my assignment...hehe, actually not much work. It's just that i didn't want to finish it in the first place =p I'm a procrastinator =p We're given more than enough time to finish the Computer Tech assignment but...well, let's put it this way..."aiyah, i'll do it tomorrow-lah, still got so much time".

Furthermore, next week's my holidays! Which means MORE freedom...or do i sense something bad? Plans for next week are as follows:

  1. Monday: Try to finish my assignment no matter what

  3. Wednesday: Have to wake up early because...EV will be coming at 10am!!! WTF?! My sleeping time will be interrupted! Have to 'jemput' him from the train station some more...haih... Image hosted by Photobucket.comHe'll be staying here overnight.
  4. Thursday: Let's just hope EV doesn't annoy me with his sayings as much as i did last time to my cousins LoL
  5. Friday: (No plans for Friday yet...maybe going out with a friend...not sure about it...I'll update it the next day)
  6. Saturday: Dental appointment...must tighten braces...=) Upper row is moving into position gradually =)

The Kota Raya Incident

Yes, after reading Dr.Liew's blog about 'Flashed', i just remembered to blog about the "Kota Raya Incident". For those who hasn't seen his 'Flashed' article yet, please click here

It was in the afternoon after my college hours. Kugan said he was gonna buy the Doom 3: RoE cd from Kota Raya. I told Kugan that i'll follow him before having my lunch at a nearby coffeeshop. Fortunately, i wasn't alone with him. he brought his mates along (indians) and my chinese friends decided to come along too. Kota Raya is just down the road, plus there will be a few small roads for us to cross...nah, no big deal. Anyway, there is this overhead bridge across the main road before the entrance of the Kota Raya building. While we were chatting, suddenly my i noticed a girl (probably in her 20s) going up the stairs. Well, whaddaya know? She was wearing a dark blue miniskirt (something like the picture below, except that it's dark blue LoL).

She was walking up the stairs...I thought in my mind..."higher...higher...higher..........." and...NO! I couldn't stand having a sin in my clean and pure life! Image hosted by Photobucket.com I looked away JUST before i could see her 'inner beauty'...but i asked my friend to look up. And BAM! He was like Image hosted by Photobucket.com "fuiyoh, that was SWEET! Eric, your eyes are damn sharp-lah" Then another one of us asked what were we looking at and we told him what he saw Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The moment of truth...what was the colour? Muahahaa Image hosted by Photobucket.com I whispered and asked him 'the question'..."It is black and white"...Image hosted by Photobucket.com

What?! Such a bad combination! Black + white in a dark blue skirt?! Damn obvious if 'chow kong' Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Lesson number 1: If you're wearing a miniskirt, don't walk near the edge of the stairs.

Lesson number 2: Always bring enough tissue in case of internal bleeding Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Lesson number 3: Must wear sunglasses next time if i were to stand/pass by the overhead bridge Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Xbox For Me?!

I've always dreamt of getting an Xbox! It is the second best console for FPS games (the best still goes to PC =p). It all happened till the other day when i told my mother all about this Xbox thing. Persuaded her to get it for me cause i couldn't stand hiding my desire anymore >.<

And then she went, "It's ok, i'll get it for you. Just don't play so much". Is this for real?! I'm getting an Xbox just like that?! Damn, i should've told her months ago! So, i began my research...began finding out the price of the console from every game shop there is. I also asked about the games available plus some extras like the extra controllers etc etc...

Two days ago, i brought her to a game shop in Sunway Pyramid to ask about the Xbox. After some tiresome bargaining moments with the taukeh kedai, we finally agreed on the price! My mom took out her cheque book and started to state her name, the price, date, and the taukeh's name + company. I still couldn't believe my eyes that she's actually willing to pay for it! Unbelievable!

I started to think about all the things i can do with my Xbox. Wrestlemania, Doom, Halo...wah...gona die gaming sial! LoooL Some more can play multiplayer online games...crazy... >.<

But later, things changed. i started to think twice...is it worth buying? I mean, Microsoft is coming up with Xbox 2 in the near future...why can't i wait for it to be released, and THEN get it? Such a waste to get it now...i then discussed with my mom and...hmm, she don't seem to mind about her cheque book. She just tore the page out and...uhmmm...we left the shop...I regret doing that but it's for our own good that we keep that cash for the 'rainy days' (in this case...the Xbox 2 LoooL).

Haih, it was a pity that i didn't buy the Xbox. I was so close to even touching it! -Now im having this lust feeling of WANTING that console so very much!- >.<


*every word i state is true and happened before..............in my dreams =p (except for the LAST sentence)*

The Dream...

Woke up today with my heart skipping a beat =s I felt like i was having deja-vu while im asleep. It's like...a deja-vu in the dream...i'll explain later.

The dream started off like this:

It was during the holidays that my family and i went for a holiday by the seaside, booking a nearby chalet overlooking the sea (don't know what sea). After booking, we (my cousins and i) followed our parents to go shopping in the city (also don't know what city, but im damn sure it's in Malaysia-lah =p).

Skip all the nonsense blablabla...returned to the chalet and decided to venture the hills behind the beach. Rumours had it that there's a big vacant building left abandoned for a long time. We knew it wasn't really haunted though. We (cousins and i) drove up the hill and eagerly went into the building. Then i started to feel something...that place's interior looked very familar...so similar that it resembles a scene from Doom 3 (ok, i know i've been playing too much, but seriously it doesn't exists in the game either). There i go bragging about how this monster appeared from this particular corner and blablabla...all the crap...not to mention that the surroundings and the environment were kinda spooky too...(duh, whaddaya expect? happy bunnies hopping around? kids playing? ice-cream man ringing the bells? lol)

Time flies...soon it was night time, parents drop by to check on us and they told us they'll not be in the inn for an hour or so. So we chilled and stay longer in the building, wanting to explore more. While we were in a room, suddenly the door began to shake, as if some one's trying to ply it open. When opened, nobody seems to be trying to break in...weird...

Cousins don't believe in all these horror stuff/murder stuff...they left me alone while they went to toilet and the kitchen...i remained in the (bed)room, trying to calm myself down. I just remembered that the exact same thing happened before...but couldn't picture it out when it happened. It's like deja-vu all of a sudden! I tried to think smart to overcome the consequences. I remembered that all these frights and scares are all a set up. I tried to figure who was behind all these act...but couldn't...my mind was too occupied by the eerieness and what made me worry the most was the 'thing' that tried to come into the room. I was so afraid of dying...

Everything seemed so real, could it be the monster from the game (hahaha)? The adrenaline pumping in me...made up my mind...opened the room door...search for the bustard who tried to scare us...The next thing i saw was...a muscular guy driving a forklift in the building's warehouse (what?!). Two main gates in the warehouse. One is the gate that connects the building to the warehouse...and the other gate is the opening of the warehouse to the outside. The muscular guy was driving his forklift out of the warehouse and i thought, "if i could just follow him, i'd be able to escape this darn building". i was so wrong. As soon as i trailed him, another guy who was standing beside the gate i'd just gone through saw me and he was holding the gate's remote control! WTF?! I ran as quickly as possible and overtook the forklift towards the gate. He alerted the guy on the forklift while he quickly closed the gate. The gate closed...(=.=") Now im in deep sh!t, im trapped in the warehouse! Before i could think further, the forklift guy was already heading towards me like a ramming cow/bull/rhino/whatever. i backed off as he was nearing me...backed off...more...and more...and suddenly i found myself struggling to reach for the pause button and 'end game'. O.o wonder where did that come from =p Soon after that, everyone revealed themselves and their positions...i was totally dumbf*cked O.O My cousins were playing a prank on me??!!! One came down from upstairs, another came from behind the warehouse, and the other from don't know where...the two guys in the warehouse were there all the while...they were the masterminds behind all these... -.- Haih...what a dream...i nearly died being 'stabbed/rammed' by the forklift...ugh...

Fridays Are Boring...

Haih, every Friday i need to go all the way down to APIIT in KL...only to attend the English class...which is only 1.5 hours...what a waste of time and energy. Actually i can choose not to attend (because it's not very beneficial, except the 'Referencing' topic), but since i'd got my allowance for the month, might as well just put it to good use.

My mom dropped me in front of Bali (Leisure Commerce Square) and i started walking along the side of the road uphill (which has a traffic light further up ahead). All the cars were stalled because the lights were red. Suddenly while i was HAPPILY walking, a car horn could be heard from a distance. I continued walking and i spotted two cars relatively close to each other! Friggin close! A black Honda was 'kissing' the rear end of a silver Toyota! Most probably the Toyota driver didn't pull up his hand brake fully and the car rolled back a bit causing the Honda to horn. The gap between the two cars' bumpers were SMALLER than my LITTLE FINGER!!! Why didn't bang... (=.=) I'll be more than happy to watch a free show early in the morning =p

As usual, i always take a train down down. This time i took a different train model (still KTM but different interior). The train was jam-packed (as always) and i had to lean against the wall. Everyone was suffocating in the train lol. Then came along two Malay women, one with tudung and the other without it. Let's say woman without tudung is "A" and the other is "B". B was standing behind A. Fine, they where standing in front of me (squeezing through the crowd to get in front of me coz there's a bar they could hold onto for support). A was holding the bar...while B slung her arm around the A's arm!!! WTF??!!! Lesbian??!!! Fine, i tried to think positively but things started to look weird. After slinging her arm, B moved her position and slipped her hands into A's jeans pocket! WTF?!! Lesbian!!! >.<

Reached college only to learn about the crappy piece of crappiest crap: "Statement of Agreement and Disagreement". Haih...he went blahblahblah and etc etc etc when our BRILLIANT student (Eric Ng) proudly put up his hand and asked...

Eric Ng: What about using vulgar words? I mean when you disagree with another friend, those words just slip from your tongue and goes, "F*ck You!"

(silence...Lecturer was dumbf*cked...whole class laughed...lecturer was annoyed by the question but still smiled) LoooL

OK, i must continue gaming now already...As you see, i'm a very busy man...LoooL

Aisey, so many games coming this few weeks and i couldn't find time to care for my blog! haha, too occupied by my fantasies already =p Will update it one day-lah, when i'm free from assignments and games...(wonder when will that be...cause if i don't have assignments, i'll be gaming...lol)

Adopt A Virtual Pet!

Omfg! It's so CUTE! Dogs bark, but cats RULE! At least i have something to play with when i'm bored, lol. Have a try =) They have puppies, kittens, cubs (tigers), penguins, ducks (WTF?) and rabbits for adoption. It would be better if they had pterodactyls, godzillas, sharks/whales, and chameleons since they're just virtual pets, lol.

Beauty Treatment Advertisements

Sunsilk, SK II, Palmolive, and Dove are common examples of beauty care products. It isn't the products that annoy me most of the time when i'm having my dinner in front of the television. It's just that those cheap adverts are always there, flashing their products in their own way...but not promising enough to please me. Why? Because those adverts are just too obvious for me that the companies of the products are always using the same old tactic to cheat women. What same tactic? Hmm, let's see...
  1. Have interviews with some random picked people. You'll be able to tell if they're reading from a script. If that doesn't seem so, then they're just merely exaggerating (you know, those fake surprised and pleased faces...cheap act, i also can do-ler). I wonder how much those companies are paying them to advertise.
  2. Have interviews with celebrities. Celebrities are just as fake. I mean, they are human as well. Why should we follow their say? In my opinion, those are also part of the gimmick used to cheat viewers (no offence).
  3. The use of CG (computer graphics) and some editing is VERY common in adverts. Remember the advertisement where the woman could straighten her entangled hair using only her fingers/comb? Noticed the unnatural movement of the hair? And you're hell right that the comb can slide down her long hair without even holding the comb. Bullsh*t!
  4. 'Skin enhancers' or some may also call it 'skin enlightening products' appear quite frequently in adverts too. They always...ALWAYS use visual softwares to brighten up one's face, open your eyes ladies! I'm sure you ladies wouldn't want to be tricked by their 'brighten-up-your-skin-in-a-week' product, would you? I mean, come on...so obvious-lah...so unoriginal...
  5. Another type of advert that really got into my nerves is the 'beauty-comes-from-the-inside' advert. How can they advertise something which isn't shown to the viewers?!
    Example:
    Before; A lady dresses in normal clothes and wears a tudung.
    After ; Same lady dresses in brighter clothes and matches her tudung with her clothes.
    Message sent through this advert: Use shampoo brand XXX to make your hair glow/shine/whatever. (WTF?! If it's a sanitary pad advert, i'll understand =p)
  6. "Get this product to avoid hair-loss"...yeah right. Fine, i THINK it's acceptable but just to make sure, how come the positioning of a person's head is always different before and after? Is it the way they comb their hair or are they trying to hide something from us...(suspicious)?
  7. Adverts about slimming pills/powder are quite fake too. Same application here (for pictures only). Before, a man LOOKS fat. After, the same man LOOKS thinner! What are you dumb? Do you really think i'm unable to tell if it's edited?! Technology these days...manipulated to cheat innocent young girls and women...*sigh*
Those stated above are merely the tip of an iceberg, there are many more fakey adverts out there and companies are getting the hold of using CG. I'm just not interested in them (not because i'm a guy...), partially because of the obvious editing and the 'not-so-promising' product (as seen in the tudung lady advert).

My advice to all of you:
Think carefully before buying something, do some research and you will not regret it.

Top 10 Pranks Not To Be Pulled On 1st April

These might be the jokes that could really make people take them seriously...so don't ever:

1) Say "I love you" to someone when you don't mean it. You don't say that to a girl and expect to walk straight after april-fooling her. You know what i mean...

2) Create rumours saying that terrorists are gonna bring the Petronas Twin Tower down. I think the worse that could happen to you would be you being dumped into some third world countries like Africa. Then you'll most probably miss the lifestyle in the concrete jungle of Mud Valley (Kuala Lumpur). (is that how Megamall got it's name?)

3) Insert poisonous bugs/insects into other peoples' belongings (ie school bag or shoes). Spiders and snakes can be fun to play with (for some pathetic idiots *no offence*) , but then exposing them to family members or friends can cause them to be in DEEP $H*T

4) Substitute a food (like chocolate) with something disgusting (like crap). It may cause trauma to most of the victim. I've seen some foreigners pull that off...they even peed on their friend's face and claimed that it was just ordinary water.

5) EVER lie to your parents saying that you're having some E.D. and when they bring you to see a doctor, you'll just admit you're fine and not having E.D. Your parents will be so pissed off and if...IF you really have E.D. in future, well...good luck dude, no father's day to celebrate.

6) Express how much you hated your boy/girlfriend and say all the heart-piercing curse words, just to end it with a laugh and claiming it was just an April Fool's joke. Expect a divorce or worse...girls can be VERY unpredictable at times. A snap and they might just eat you alive...beware...

7) Never ever provoke a police by offering a bribe even though it's just a joke.

8) Don't scream, "Tsunami!! Tsunami!! Earthquake!! Earthquake!!" in your neighbourhood unless you wana die young.

9) Never pretend to be a priest/pastor in a church and start to curse the almighty Lord...only to end your lengthy speech by saying, "April Fool! I'm not a real priest/pastor! You've been fooled!" and then proceed to laugh like a retarded hyena.

10) Don't pretend to be dead. If you want to see how much your family/friends love you, why not try the less hurtful way? (hey i might try this method one day =p)

April Fool Or You Fool?

April Fool's Day passed by without getting fooled 100% by anyone =p But the 'joke' that left a DEEP impact (maybe the most effective 'joke') in my heart was the "End The Relationship" joke by none other than my siu jie (=.=") Like that also can think of...respect-lah...but i seriously hope it won't happen. My heart dropped when i heard that...although i was a BIT suspicious. Siu Jie, you got me for this, but please don't do that again =s Other than that, all the other jokes put onto me by my friends backfired lol. Anyway, good try. Better luck next time, muahahahah!

English Drama

Our second assignment for the week is to make an English drama. No specific title is given, so we are actually assigned to do a free topic, which is good! 20 students in my class, 3 groups altogether, so it would be 7-7-6. 6 members are good enough for us to act out a drama. Wy Howe, Kwok Sheng (pronounced as 'Kok Seng'), Kwong Yeow, Swee Fun, and Sin Wah are in my group. What drama did we choose? Hehe, we thought for quite some time about it. Suggestions such as LOTR, Matrix, Titanic, and even PCK came into our minds...but don't know who came up of Doraemon...and we chose it because the characters' roles fit perfectly!

Sin Wah, the short and almost botak guy will be playing as Doraemon, tall Wy Howe will become Giant, Swee Fun...of course she will be Sizuka...(duh...), Kwok Sheng will be Chong Meng cause he's somewhat handsome (cough), and spectacle guy Kwong Yeow will play Nobita. Guess who i'll play? =p *hint: someone short and babbles a lot*

The rough storyline:

1) 1st day of college, introduction of characters

2) Teacher gives assignment (2 weeks) and a 2 hour exam for that particular subject (during exam week)

3) Nobita asks help from Doraemon (rejected), Giant and Sinyu creating some conflict (fights with Nobita)

4) Sizuka helped Nobita because she pity him. Assignment done.

5) Nobita asks her out for a candle light dinner date (to show appreciation and perhaps have other intentions?)

6) Chong Meng happens to walk pass and noticed how beautiful she was in the gown. He starts to have feelings for her.

7) Next few days (during weekend) he asks her out for a date. Sizuka rejected because she wants to finish her assignment and spend time with her family.

8) Chong Meng misunderstood her intentions and joins the dark side.

9) Exam week. Giant and Sinyu were caught copying by Chong Meng but he didn’t inform the teacher.

10) He blackmails Giant and Sinyu saying that he will tell the teacher about what they did during the exam. Chong Meng succeeds in manipulating Giant and Sinyu.

11) Dirty plans start to arise.

12) Sinyu and Giant under the command from Chong Meng walloped Nobita.

13) Nobita asks Doraemon for help (crying mercilessly)

14) Doraemon gives a small futuristic item.

15) Doraemon arranges a meeting in the park.

16) Everyone uses/threatened by the item. All calm down, sit down and confesses/discusses (but failed)

17) Everyone fights, forcing Doraemon to use the ultra super gigantic atom bomb.

18) Everyone scared, finally confesses (succeeds)

19) Found out that Sizuka likes Doraemon (for some reason)

20) Everyone gets disappointed by the news. Doraemon was shocked and surprised.


Btw, amendments of names for the gang:

Doraemon = Pocket Boy (always pronounced as 'Pocket Cat' by Wy Howe lol)
Nobita = Nick
Sizuka = Susan
Sinyu = Derrick
Chong Meng = Alec
Giant = Gary

Hopefully we'll be able to get the scripts done within the first week, and the rest such as background and the music scores will be done within the second week. Great teamwork! So proud, muahaha! =p
