Tekken Movie...Review? (spoilers alert)

Tekken, a name that describes "corporation", "domination", "tournament" and "family feud". What starts out as a game franchise, should always stay as a game franchise. I have tried to challenge this rule yesterday because I could not resist the temptation to see gaming characters come to life on the big silver screen.

Among the 40+ characters that revolve around the Tekken game, only a handful were picked for the movie. These characters are:


Marshall Law
(portrayed by Cung Le, the martial artist, he truly is...TRULY IS...TRUUUULY ISSS the wasted talent #1 of the movie because he was the 1st to show up, and the 1st to go...that's just sad)


Jun Kazama
(looks older than the game character because she's already a mom, understandable, no issues here)


Steve Fox
(played by a bald guy? Did not even fight at all?! His only "important" role was to give his damn red boxing gloves to Jin later in the movie)



Anna & Nina Williams
(rival sisters but portrayed as VERY cooperative sisters in the movie, even shared the same man in bed, wtf...and you won't believe who the man is -_-)


Jack
(seriously? What's up with making Jack the ROBOTIC muscle of the Mishima Corp into bloody human foot soldiers with puny guns?! Out of budget for some CG I assume...)


Bryan Fury
(OK, I gotta give this guy credit, he plays his role pretty close to the game counter part. There's just one thing not right...he ain't no robot! But i just love his "Bin Tai"-ness, muahhahhaha!!!)


Miguel
(What the hell do they have in common? They're both spanish, and that's all. no costume, no hairdo, totally different fighting style, i dont know wth he's doing or what's his purpose in the movie)


Sergei Dragunov
(Dragunov is supposed to be a character who doesn't talk or smile. He just poses emo-ly and gets the job done using his Sambo fighting technique...but in the movie...*sigh*)



Raven
(Master of ninjutsu...said the commentator during the match in the movie, but all I see are punches and kicks...no disappearing act, no shadow clone whatsoever...*sigh again* At one point, he even got to use a machine gun, where is the way of the ninja?!)


Eddy Gordo
(wasted talent #2, as a Brazillian fighter who practises Capoeira however you spell it, he gets knocked out in his first match. He also starred in the Tom Yum Goong movie, impressive moves, but here...*sighhhhhhh*)


Christie Monteiro
(Another Capoeira practitioner, but NEVER seen fighting with it)


Yoshimitsu


Kazuya Mishima
(and here I was...wondering who is playing Kazuya for the 1st 30 min into the movie, only to find out that this ... guy... was Kazuya all along...WTF don't look like him!!!)


Heihachi Mishima
(Yet another wasted talent, as this actor was the main villain for Mortal Kombat movie. He knows martial arts, but never seen him fighting at all. Instead, he was killed by the damn beardy Kazuya with a ****ing pistol. IIRC, guns are nothing to Heihachi in the game)


Jin Kazama
(our main character who "doesn't look like much" quoted Christie Monteiro. The Jin we all know knows at least some karate moves, but here...oh well...a movie is just a movie and not a game...)

P.s No pics available for Yoshimitsu...and although he is portrayed as a skillful samurai...he lost to a guy using a bo stick WTF...

And for those who actually bothered to read through this crappy review (or is it?), this is a glimpse of me playing Tekken in the arcade before the movie started.



Innocent boy no more...

House Renovation

Holla, peeps! I'm back after being gone for countless months (guess it was only 3 months ago...)! I'm just back for the moment to keep my blog alive, my house is still not ready yet -_- Lots have been going on lately, and to my dear DEAR colleagues........I DONT have a girlfriend...so don't always say I have!! That would be the last thing on Earth that I could ever wish for now that I've heard what nuisance creatures Girls are. Two things that my engaged guy colleague always complains:

• No money
• No freedom

True, and true. And with that said, I dont know if i should go on living as a bachelor...Speaking of bachelor, our college convocation day is coming up on the 7th of August. As a matter of fact, I already rented and paid the convo fees earlier this month and got my picture taken with my family at a local photoshoot studio near my work place @ JayaOne. I chose Package B which offers an 11 x 17 framed canvas photo and 3 4R sized photo, all for the cost of RM170...times 2 because we wanted 1 for a family portrait and another as a portrait of myself.

So without further ado, here are the photos of my house (wahahah, potong stim for you =p)
Pictures below are taken on 25th April.


Kitchen + back door (on the left side of the pic)

Clockwise from left: Table drawer, wardrobe, display cabinet where I display my "man" toys, study table (assuming I ever studied), and computer table. Now it's been destroyed and dismantled sadly...

Ooh, so that's how the attic looks like...no ghost up there like in Ju-On fortunately.


Another shot at the roof...without camera flash.

Long shot of my room.


That's just my brother taking a pic with hopes of getting some unusual paranormal under the study table (anyone feel weird?).

Pictures below are taken on 18th July.

Theft Again~~

Damn thief (singular noun), broke into our 2 cars last night. It was unfortunate that I, as the person who has been sleeping in the downstairs living room for over a week now, didn't notice any strange sounds in the middle of the night. I have been known to be a dead log when I sleep because of 2 reasons:

1. When i sleep, i become totally oblivious to what's happening around me. One incident includes not hearing any lightning strike behind the house when the whole family woke up awakened by it.
2. I fall asleep within 5 minutes after lying on the bed.

My mother's car and my car were the victims of the theft and as a result, the most expensive item, the TnG tag and card had been stolen (that's worth more than RM200 in total). My car...not many things had been stolen as most of the cards are in my wallet. Only a few RM1 notes and coins had been nabbed (damn cheap thief...few Ringgit and coins also steal...really no life...dont ever let me see your face, or I will break your thumbs). I still cant get over the fact that all these happened..when i was sleeping DOWNSTAIRS!!! WTfffffff...it's not that Im angry or frustrated over the losses (i didnt lose anything), it is damn annoying to know that someone is always violating your privacy and stealing petty stuff away without you knowing.

Just minutes ago, my opposite neighbour rang our doorbell asking us if we wanna make a police report. The police had arrived to take down details from a few of us, err...actually is ALL OF US. We have ALL been victims of the theft last night. WTF the thief jump from house to house??!!

My parents were not at home, so I went out to confront the police. Based on one of the neighbour's statement, her maid woke up at 5am and saw this dark-skinned man in red shirt and short pants INSIDE her Perodua Myvi. His race is unknown (although there's a possibility that he could be either our dark-skinned race, or a myanmarian).

Is there any way to prevent such theft from happening? Fuh...damn frus...What a way to start off Mother's Day...Thanks...a lot...

Bla...

I have a colleague who pronounces "stupid" in a very cute way. Maybe she don't mean to be cute, maybe she was just trying not to offend anyone. The way she say "stupid" always sounded like she was saying "sdupid". Try pronouncing "s-doobid" with the "s" sound separated from the main word "doobid".

Off topic a bit:

77 x 8 = 616

That's 77 dvd game discs for my console, RM8 for each disc (sometimes cheaper if bought in bulk of more than 3), and a total of RM616 spent in over 3 years. What if...just what IF I were to get another console...


Price of console = RM1.3k+
Additional controller = RM170
HDMI cable = ???
Price of a game = RM150 - Rm200 depending on title
Rental Service (membership)

• RM180 deposit
• RM50 per month (fixed rate, 1 game at a time, for as many times, play till you drop)
  

Online fee is free and maintenance probability is very low (but definitely not as often as my current console...)

It is time to try community gaming already...

Something Unexpected (warning: toilet discussions)

If Monday was not bad enough for me, wait till you hear about what happened today. While we (the normal lunch gang) were walking down to the mixed rice stall behind Home Expo building, I told colleague A about my condition in the morning. I told him that my stomach was not feeling well because it felt like some sort of hurricane was stirring inside.

He agreed and said he also felt the same, I stunned for a moment. He continued saying that he woke up at 5.30am to go to toilet to "clear up". I then told him that I also suffer the same fate, but mine was at 4.30am. The other girl (also system analyst) who was in our gang overheard what we were talking about and ask "eh? you also like that?"

And she made us both stunned, because she also had problems. The time she went to "clear up"? Around 5am (i think). The girl who was with her (also one of us) while queuing up for lunch also asked the same thing, but hers was around 2.30am (the earliest of us all). Sheesh...what's with all these diarrhea at the wee hours in the morning?! Something must be wrong.

Turns out that we all have something in common. We ate at Fireman the day before. However, we all ordered different dishes...except for the drinks and the dessert. With those drinks and dessert in suspicion, we remembered that we had another group member who joined us yesterday, but have not arrived at the mixed rice stall yet.

We sat down and discussed about it while eating (yea, i know it's disgusting). We waited for the guy to come down from office, and eventually he arrived. I started by saying, "wei, we have something to ask you".

"we have something serious to talk about with you", said the system analyst. I added by saying "please answer honestly, no telling lies". He straight away looked scared and panicked, LOL! Can see his expression, he tension a bit already. I let them do the talking because he is more familiar in chinese. It didn't take long for me to figure out what they were saying, I managed to understand the part where he said he was late to join us because he was busy "clearing up" just now, LOL.

In conclusion, I cleared up once in the early morning, once before lunch, and once after lunch. The one before lunch was preeeety "noisy"...hopefully the cleaner didn't notice it because he was just outside my toilet... -_-

Monday~~

What a way to start a Purplish and Blackish Monday (last Monday's accidental theme was Monday Blues). 3 girls wore the almost-similar purple blouse while another guy wore a full black suit, same as mine. But the day is not just that. Many (bad) things happened (well, not that many but they happened one after another until they made the whole day look like a mess).

It was lunch time. An ex-colleague had asked me out for lunch. I told her I'll join her and (skip some unnecessary arguments here) I headed for the lift to go down to the carpark.

Incident #1:- 12.35pm

As soon as I stepped into the lift full of my colleagues, I pressed "B3" floor and before the door started to close, I quickly stepped out of the lift because I had just remembered...that I forgot to bring my car keys along. Paiseh...

Incident #2:- 12.40pm

Got my keys, went to my car, drove out of the parking lot and headed just a few meters down the main road and...*craaannnkkkkkkkkkkkkkk* OMG WTF WAS THAT?!! I parked by the road side to inspect my left side of the car. Hmm, nothing unusual...oh well...As soon as I started to go forward, the sound came back. Sounded like a metal (imagine the exhaust pipe dragging on the road), sort of like our very own ex-college mate =p Again, I stepped out of the car and checked, but no frucking idea what sound was that!!! I stayed confused. The tyres were fine, the rims were fine, the exhaust pipe was in place, no metal hanging from under the car, so wtf was that?! I phoned my ex-colleague up and told her I was having problems with my car and I will head back to the carpark. She said she'll drive me instead.

Incident #3:- 12.50pm

As I hung up the phone, I saw 2 of my colleagues walking past my car towards the food stall nearby. I told them about my car and I asked for their help. Seems like they suspect it was coming from the front left tyre, but not quite sure what caused the sound. So, nvm I drove back to the car park. When I reversed the car and made a U- turn, the sound went off...as in...gone. WTFish! Made a U-turn and the sound went off. Diuzzz...Please...dont play this kind of dirty games with me...I wanna go for LUNCH! I made ANOTHER U-turn, and she called me, saying that someone had blocked her car from coming out. LOL, i then told her my car was ok jor~~ She went "hah???!!"

Incident #4:- 1.00pm

Fetched her from her building entrance. Headed to the designated restaurant, only to find that it was fracking closed! Grr...Ok, nvm...still got another restaurant neaby.

Incident #5:- 1.10pm

Parked my car in front of the restaurant. Being the good citizen as I am, I went to pay for the parking ticket at the meter. WTH, minimum 60 cents?? Fine..put in my 20 cents coin...STUCK!!! WTFork...luckily she didnt insert her 50 cents coin before me -_- Found another parking meter and used that instead.

The rest of the afternoon was fine (that is if I don't count being late to office after lunch hours...).

Team Lunch Invitation

A normal day in the office, as usual, but I took some timeout to read my company emails...and this was what I found, sent by our System Analyst.

"Ladies and Gentlemen & ADIK ADIK" (celaka...refering to me la since I'm the youngest and most inexperienced...)

"We have been working on the xxx project for about 1.5 months now and we've 30% of our progress etc etc and would like to invite you all for a team lunch near Jayaone etc etc to show our thanks for all your hard work etc etc..."

As I was reading through half way, Boss came by and saw what I was doing and curiously asked what is it. He stood beside me, saying out what was written. I asked if he wants to join us (jokingly of course, since he is the boss and it would certainly be weird if he joined) and he (also jokingly) said if he joined, he would have to pay for the bill. After that, he began to tell us (me and the girl sitting beside me) how he came about his position now.

Wahlao, his story was so long =_= I wanted to continue my work liao...and finally~~Boss Lady came by and asked to see him. YES~~~wait...what? Done? He's back!! Onoeesssss~~Have to listen to his story again~
*skip boring part*
Right, so everything's over now. The girl beside me came closer and said "aiya...just now XXX (system analyst) told me not to let Boss see this email..."

I went:-



Me: AHHhHhHHh~~ Why didn't tell earlier...now how...
Girl: Haha, can't tell you la...cause she told me quite late and then boss came...if I tell you, then sure he will be suspicious.
Me: Zzz, nevermind...now we must not say anything about this to anyone. If they ask, then we act blur.

BIG "WTF"

I'll start this post with a BIG "WTF". What's wrong, you may ask. Here, take a look at this new proposal by KTMB (that's Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad). Carriage only for women? To prevent "gangguan seksual"? Ceh, if they want, they can easily plant a minicam on the floor board anytime + the ability to rotate 360 degrees, and that's free show for all the pervs out there. What are they thinking...during peak hours, men no need to use the train is it?

Wait, did I say "keretapi tanah Melayu"? Oh......no wonder-la...It all makes perfect sense now...it's all very clear now...I should have known...Malaysia BOLEH!

The Bomb

Yesterday...was truly the blackest day of my life. Wanted to find someone to accompany me, but unfortunately it did not happen. But that's not the reason of this post. This post is about today! Just after having lunch, we returned to the office and back to our seats. I instead went to to toilet (as usual) before continuing with my work. There were still some colleagues not back yet from lunch. I noticed the colleague who sits behind me holding a container with letters.

I didn't ask what were those letters as I already guessed that they must be letters of invitation to her wedding. She then passed a letter to me, and I opened. The front of the letter read:

"Nxxx <3 Hxxxx"


The contents:

"Doa dan restu buat mempelai... " followed by some prayers.

The 2nd page went like this:

"assalamualaikum wbt...etc etc... Dengan penuh kesyukuran...etc etc...mempersilakan Dato' / Datin / Tuan / Puan / Encik / Cik ke Majlis Perkahwinan puteri kami yg dikasihi Nxxx  dengan Hxxxx"

All was going fine until I read the following statement:

"...pada hari dd MMM yyyy beralamat

What? Suddenly I felt so...far away...haha...I kept the letter away and continued my work. Minutes later another colleague came back from lunch and opened her letter. She read...and then she went "huh? Kemaman? Apa ini? Terengganu ke?" LOL her response really make me LOL, I'm not the only one feeling weird here xD

Not long after that, my senior analyst came by and asked in cantonese "Hey, lei yau mou sau dou zha dan?" (didn you receive any bomb?) Of course, I knew what she meant, but didnt really get why she used the word "zha dan". But anyway, probably she wanted to hear my response "hai lor, zha dou wor..." (haha, dont know how to translate zha dou to an English phrase).

That letter really is da bomb! Still thinking if I should attend it, or maybe I'll just follow majority.

Clash of the Gods

With "Clash of the Gods" being aired on Astro History channel, I suddenly found myself interested in the Greek mythology. The episode that I watched today (first time watching) was about Hades, the King of the Dead and the ruler of the Underworld. Although I've heard of Hades before in games such as God of War and Dante's Inferno, I did not know much about him (or other related Gods in the Greek mythology).
There was too much going on in the 1-hour documentary to be written out here, you can research some background info about him using Wikipedia. Right now, I'm trying to find the whole season 1 of "Clash of the Gods" with the Hades episode being the 3rd out of 10.

It is weird considering the fact that I don't actually believe in this kind of things *cough* Christian Bible *cough*. Probably that's because games and recently made movies were greatly influenced by the mythologies (you have to admit, those Gods sound and act pretty cool).

So here's the breakdown of Hade's family tree:

Alias: King of the Dead/Ruler of the Underworld
Father: Cronus
Mother: Rhea
Brothers: Hades (eldest), Poseidon, Zeus
Sisters: Hestia, Hera, Demeter (mother of Persephone)
Wife: Persephone (WTF, incest?!)
Guardian of the Underworld: Charon (the ferryman who ferries the dead from the upperworld across River Stygx to the underworld), Cerberus (three headed dog, Guardian after crossing River Stygx)

Want to know more about the family and how he became ruler of the underworld, you have to watch the documentary to find out =D

Nine Words Women Use

This post is not an original post. It is taken from an email and I thought it is very true, so I decided to post it up here for sharing (wait, "sharing" is not a proper word here...but whatever-la).

1. FINE
   This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
   
   
2. FIVE MINUTES
   If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
   
   
3. NOTHING
   This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
   
   
4. GO AHEAD
   This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
   
   
5. LOUD SIGH
   This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing)
   
   
6. THAT'S OK
   This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
   
   
7. THANKS
   A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
   
   
8. WHATEVER
   Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
   
   
9. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
   Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Titleless Post

A colleague of mine was kind enough to share his experience he had with his partner. Now, you probably might think of "something else" when I said that, but no it's not. That's too confidential and I don't think he will share it with us at all. Back to what I was saying, it was about a small argument between the 2 parties.

My colleague (call him XXX) had an hour of gaming session with his online buddies (most likely a game of dota) when his partner (call her YYY) came online and started to chat with him.

Guys, what would you do if you were in his shoes?

1. Ignore the chat window and continue dota-ing
2. Honestly tell her that you are having a gaming session and ask her to wait
3. Immediately stop the game and spend some time with her

XXX told me that his partner was not so happy that he told her to wait because he was gaming. I understand how YYY feels...because I was once like XXX and I have also felt how YYY felt (in fact, it took me more than 5 years to understand the pain). What I would do will depend on the situation actually. If the game is about to end, I would let her know and make it quick. If not, then I would stop and accompany her but that's just how I feel, and how I feel MAY not be right...so...yeah, that's why I'm still single...

Some might argue and say that it's his fault for ignoring her and prioritizing his GAME. Some might also say it's the girl's fault for not understanding, but I guess it's both their faults for being selfish and self-centered. He had already apologized for what he did (or did not do), but she is still angry over it. I don't know what to say to make him feel better because I have experienced both sides, but all I can say is:

Two hands must work together in order to clap

Come, I Tell You My Password

I tried to resist it for as long as I can, but eventually I had to give in. I had to request for the HR/Admin to give me a password for the office entrance because my fingers cannot be used to scan anymore. It's getting worse now. The password for the door is ********, I repeat, the password is ********. That's 8 asterisks for my password xD Speaking of password, the computer I've been using for work had requested me to change my login password (again). Sigh, I'm already out of passwords!!! Need to start memorizing people's email address already. FYI, the password verification is damn tight. Must have symbols, characters, must have numerics, and must be at least 8 characters long. WTF...

Shit, everytime I came in/out through the door, I have to press 8 buttons on the keypad that equals to 8 friggin' beeps which would let the whole office know that "hey, Eric's here!". But I have no choice. I couldn't even enter the office in the morning, luckily there was another person with me at that time.

On a side note, there is a new staff (again). Lately there has been many new female staff, but obviously all are older than me, shit. Probably because there are plenty of vacancies for the new department, Quality Assurance. It was around 6pm when I was still doing my own thing when she came from the lobby. She asked me if I could open the main door for her as she has not registered her fingerprints yet with the HR dept.

I went "har? uh, ok...but actually I'm not really sure how to open also LOL". So I escorted her to the door, while I went to the receptionist's table and looked for the phone-thingy. I remembered one of my colleagues saying that the phone-thingy can open doors, like "open-sesame". I found the phone-thingy, and immediately saw a button with an LED beside it. Wondering what it does, I pressed it. Nothing happened. No lights blinking or sound emitted whatsoever. I pressed again. Nothing happened. Shit, what am I supposed to do. I asked her, "now can open or not?".

"Ya, can. Thanks"

LOL, SAFE! Why the hell does the thing operate without any visual or audio feedback?! Nevertheless, felt proud that I can help. I dont expect much though, cause I'm sure she will not remember my name...just mark my words...

Nice PC Fair Offer

It is the last day of the first PC Fair 2010. Went to KLCC to hunt for a thumbdrive for my mother. At the same time, I was surveying the prices of the X-HDDs and wanted to acquire more info about the hotlink plans. As usual, the place was very crowded with various kinds of people:

1. The never-bother-to-apply-deodorant kind of people:-
   Seriously, stay stay STAY away from them!!! But how do you do that, it's really up to you. But then again, if you're stuck in a crowd, how are you supposed to stay away from them? If only navigating around a crowd is a form of art...
   
2. The always-pushing-about kind of people:-
   You are walking closely behind another person in front of you when you always get pushed from behind by some dude who looks to be in a hurry to get somewhere when you yourself are also in a hurry. Worse case scenario is when the dude pushes you from behind so hard that it forces you to bump into a pretty lady in front and getting a smack in return for accidentally "molesting" her.
   
3. The occupying-the-main-isle-while-looking-at-their-brochures kind of people:-
   These are the kind of people who annoys me the most. If you are not going with the flow, please PLEASE take the time to go to the side of the hall where you can sit/stand where nobody gives a shit about whatever you wanna do.

So, let's continue. I was at the side hall, reading my brochure behind a ZZZ (cannot mention the tele-comm name la) booth when this yongsui-looking dude (yes, I am always more handsome) came and approach me. I still ignored him and continued with my brochure when he handed a ZZZ card to me. I thought it was free so I reached out, and then he started promoting the ZZZ product.

Dude : Sir, engkau ada broadband?
Me : Uh...ada...
Dude : Oh, takpe, you boleh guna ni.
Me : Oh, no thank you
Dude : Kenapa? Ini free, bagi engkau guna, tak mahu?
Me : Ah, tak payah lah. Thanks.
Dude : Engkau berapa umur?
Me : *didnt hear carefully, thought he said "engkau mahu apa"* Erm...nak cari thumbdrive
Dude : ??? Apa?
Me : Oh, umur? Kenapa nak tahu umur?
Dude : Tak lah, tanya aje
Me : Oh, umur saya...entah...
Dude : Alah, nak tahu umur sebab kad ni hanya boleh guna untuk umur 18 ke atas saja.
Me : *The card in my hands now* Oh macam tu, kalau umur saya bawah 18, saya bagi orang lain saja lah.
Dude : Haha, tak boleh la macam tu. Kalau awak nak, you boleh beri nama, nombor ic awak, erm...nama mak, nama bapa (and whatever nonsense) kepada saya, baru saya boleh beri awak kad ni.
Me : Oh...tak payah lah. Tak berminat. Thanks.
Dude : Betul tak mahu? Ok...
Me : *Continues looking at brochure*

Haiyoh! Is this how you promote stuff?! No wonder "they" (cannot mention race here-la ha...) fail in business...until nama mak bapak also come out...shit...why do you need my parents' names?? Shit...trying to scam me is it? Good luck doing business...

Damn Fat Kid

So, today I went to see the skin specialist in SS15. The whole clinic was crowded, there are even people standing outside the clinic to wait for their turn. I was with my mother, she waited outside while I went in to register. I asked the nurse and she gave me a form to fill up. As you know, it was crowded and there were many people standing next to me at the counter where I filled up my form. There was this young fat kid...you know what race-la...no need to mention here. He kept looking at my form as I filled up my name, IC number, age and gender.

Fine, I didn't say anything, but when it came to house address...I started to feel uncomfortable with him looking at my form. He was standing next to me all the time looking at my form and I didn't say anything. As if I'm gonna let him see where I stay, so I turned my eye balls toward him without moving my head. He didn't even move a muscle pretending that ignorance is bliss...wtf, hello?? Can't you even give me some freaking privacy?

So I skipped filling up that part and continued with other details. I wrote very slowly, hoping that he'd turn/go away. And so he did when his parents called. HA! Damn fat kid...dah lah gemuk, nak buat bodoh pulak tu...shit, that was the most ignorant kid I've ever seen. Trust me, I've seen many ignorant kids before but none is close to that fat kid. Really need some spanking to teach him proper manners not to be so kaypoh/8 in other people's business.

After 1.5 hours of waiting, I'm finally called it. Dr said...I have some form of eczema. And the "spots" (they are pimples) I have on my shoulders, back, and face are caused by the medication I took from previous medicines. Here's hoping the rashes will go off after a few days..

Another Title-less Post

Something as minor as skin peeling has been going on for the past 2 weeks and has become what you call "eczema" in medical terms. I'm not sure if it really is, but it looks like it. Rashes at the base of both my palms (see previous post), fingertips' skin cracking, and now I have pimples (lolwut) at the back, the shoulders area, and my neck. Not only that...face also start to pop a lot of those things!!! Still not enough? An ulcer had just started forming at the lips...makes kissing much more sensational LOLOLOL


Planning to see the skin specialist on Saturday...consultation fee is RM30 (that's free money for the guy/lady who'll be treating me). Since yesterday, I was not able to do finger scanning at the office main (and only) entrance. The device kept giving me error...because of my cracked skin. When I joined the company, I had 4 fingers registered into the system; left/right thumb and left/right index finger. Now, only the left index finger can be used but VERY VERY difficult to scan successfully. Even got the Boss Lady to open the door manually for me from the receptionist desk, haha....paiseh...Otherwise, cannot go out for lunch xD

Off topic a bit: I think I know why I am who I am today. Most likely because I am easily influenced by my "friends" last time, you know, the emo type (pray the fella doesn't see this post). I guess I can safely say that I plan to change and be more like my colleagues. Even while not communicating directly with them, their "aura" can make one feel cheerful from the inside. I sometimes find myself lol-ing silently at my workplace because of their ridiculous telephone conversations and casual talks. Oh the bad words spurted out all the time, such glorious moments that make me lol while working.

If you care, You would remember

Is it just me, or do most girls seem to forget about me almost all the time?
(guys reading this would just come to conclude that it's just me, i know...)

I noticed, that there were MANY incidents where girls/women tend to "forget" stuff about me. What I tell them, what I show them, what I do for them...all forgotten...even when I tried to be a people person, forgetting about me isn't helping my self-esteem at all...

One such incident was when during lunch time, my colleagues sat down at a table in office and discussed about what we do for our job. This "not-so-new" girl (call her A) was introducing a new staff (call her B) about us. A mentioned about what the other guys did, and when it came to my turn she went, "uh...who are you again?"

Stunned, but jokingly I replied "Ha? You don't know me? I've been here for quite long already wor...I even told you my name several times liao". She said she didn't get to work with me, so she didn't really take notice. How can that can be used as an excuse...the company is only on 1 floor with around 50 employees (or less)...sigh...

And the morning before that day, AND the previous morning, we met at the lift at the same time in the morning. Never thought she'd forget my name so soon. Am I just a nobody in every girl's eyes? I know, there are some who might call themselves "dai tau ha"...haha, but I know that's not the case because:

"If you care, You would remember"

Morning Incident

Today I heard a heartbreaking story from my mother. Something she wouldn't normally mention on any other days. It was about what happened this morning while on her way to work.

She was driving slowly on the left lane of a 2-lane main road towards Old Klang Road when she noticed a motorcyclist following closely behind (I know you guys would be curious about his race...so I'll just say it anyway: Malay). She said the motorcyclist did not overtake her on the right lane because there are other cars joining the main road from the right side. The motorcyclist waited till there were no other cars on the road, and overtook her closely on the right. He immediately positioned the motorcycle right in front of her bumper, in the middle of the road, and swayed left and right to show that he did not want her to overtake him.

Get the picture? He was unhappy because she drove slowly, not giving him chance to overtake. So childish way of thinking-lah bro...Sigh...So, she honked him because she thought he was drunk (swaying left and right is dangerous, you see) but didn't make a difference. My mother did not even try to overtake because it was quite early in the morning, no rush to work.

The guy kept swaying left and right all the way until there was a fork/branch to turn out to another road. According to her, due to her not overtaking him, he gave his 1 finger salute before turning off to another road. WHAT THE HELL? When I heard this part of the story, my heart immediately stirred up VERY BADLY and blood already start boiling. MALAY GUY show finger to ELDERLY LADY. WTF WTF WTF!!! No RESPECT, no MANNERS, no ROAD ETHICS and no BALLS for a MALAY MAN.

What did she do wrong? Is driving slowly on the left lane wrong? Oh, so you couldn't overtake and you're frustrated, so? Lu bapak punya jalan ka? Sebenarnya, aku pun tak peduli siapa mak bapak engkau, lu kasi jari kat pempuan, lu salah. Engkau lelaki tarak bola, tau?

Sigh, Msia...fix your own people first before finding fault in others. If report to police (if any scratches made to her car) also I don't think they will care. They might just say, "kereta engkau sekarang takde apa-apa kan? Ha, boleh lah tu, tak payah banyak hal".

I know...my blood is boiling as I'm typing...need to cool down now...

CNY Lesson #2 (Topic Dropped from Discussion)

Due to sensitive issues that MAY arise from what I'm about to blog, I think it's better if it is not mentioned at all. I had given it much thought and decided not to blog about it (just in case some people finds out and start a family war...)

But anyway, keep in mind that FAMILY's FIRST.

On a side topic, things have been weird lately as the skin on both my hands have been..."shedding" like the snake skin. Take a look:-


Right hand: Only thumb, index and mid finger has skin peeling off the tip. A bit of rash on the base palm too.


Left hand: Every finger tip has peeling skin...and the base of the palm got rashes!!!

CNY Lesson #1

If there's one thing I'd learned this Chinese New Year, it's family first. What was supposed to be a reunion dinner (on the night before the 1st day of CNY) turned out to be somewhat a day I will never forget.

It was a fine Saturday afternoon when I went out for a game of badminton with my college mates. I was told to come home by 5pm because we needed to go to grandma's place. I drove to my friend's house at around 12pm to carpool his car to the badminton court. Things didn't go well from there because his colleagues' car broke down while we were waiting for them to arrive. So, time was wasted there. But anyway, we all met up eventually but arrived at the court at around 1.30pm.

Played for 2 hours and had lunch at around 4pm at McD's. Since we all seldom meet up, our lunch time flew so quickly that I didn't realise it was going to be 5pm (4.45pm to be exact)! I rushed my friend to quickly finish up and fetch me back. By the time we reached his home, it was already 5pm. Rushed to my car, drove like the wind back to my house...and guess what?

While I was about to reach home...my parents were already driving their car out the front gate.

#^%#

What?! I didn't bother to say anything, I just went into the house thinking "wtf...go so early for what...not like we're gonna eat so soon...it's only 5.30pm...#%^# I kept thinking of it in the bathroom while i was cleaning up, still thinking if I should join them later for the reunion dinner. And then, a very familiar ringtone that I had assigned for my mother (ha-ha...) was heard echoing in the bathroom. I hesitated to pick up, but I thought "ah, what the heck".

Mom: "Later when you come over, can you please bring the zhai?"

Me: "... ... ...I'm not going"

Mom: "Why not going? Don't be like that la. New year eve, must visit your grandma and your relatives. Join us for reunion dinner la"

Me: "I thought you didn't want me to go? Why didn't you bring the zhai yourself?"

*Father's voice can be heard at the background*

Mom: "Aiya, ok la, if you dont want to go then nvm la"

And that's how the conversation ended. Damn I was so... grrrrr...Instantly I thought of eating the zhai they left behind, doesn't matter how much they've prepared. EAT UNTIL SATISFIED.
It's like, what the #&%# were they thinking? Leaving me behind, letting me travel on my own to my grandma's place (which btw is near to my said friend's house -_-), and asking me to bring along the zhai as an excuse for me to come along...nonsense la, somemore can afford to pretend being nice on the phone...as if I'm a puppet...

To be continued...

What Happened after Earth Hour

Ok...so my previous post was a bit of a look-forward post, but I guess i shouldn't have looked forward to it because...*takes in deep breath*...because I slept from 8.30 till 11.30 the NEXT day OMGWTFBBQSOS!!!

That's like 1 2 3...15 hours of sleep! Sheesh, and I even planned to wake up and continue my game...wasted all my time!!! My effort to sacrifice an hour turned out to be...a waste of 12 hours...sien...That's not what I was looking forward to ¬_¬

Right now...I'm thinking whether I should be deactivating my fb account cause it seems like I'm not gonna use it for quite some time. But if I were to deactivate it, then what about those who wants to add me? Hmm...hmm...should I give a damn? Hmm hmm...tough decision...

P.s: Argh! I hate having long finger nails! Makes it so much harder to type on the keyboard when they are always obstructing my l33t typing skillzzz

Earth Hour 2010

Earth Hour is approaching tonight from 8.30-9.30 pm. Romantic couples can spend the hour alone admiring the clear sky (if there's no rain) while lazy-ass people like me can stay at home and sleep. Hey, at least I'm an environmentalist who doesn't ignore efforts to save the Earth. Btw, I'm kind of used to the darkness, even my room is always dark. Just that I need to turn off all electronic devices and switches (I can sacrifice an hour of my day doing nothing...because nothing's really happening in my life ha-ha...)

Speaking of Earth Hour, last year's was...a bit awkward...because I had to spend time with my other family members. You see, I don't think I'm that kind who enjoys being around many people (what more in a crowd). And also I'm not that close to them, so Earth Hour was like "Quick! Make time pass faster!!! It's damn weird being with you guys!!". It wasn't really considered Earth Hour because half way through, we drove back home, because I feel that using car lights/resources defeats the purpose of celebrating Earth Hour. Or maybe it's just me?

If possible, I wish to go for a walk at the park tonight, preferable, with anyone who wants to accompany me. Sigh, too bad no one's near my place...so I guess a wish is just a wish that will never come true.

P.s: Screw those birthday wishes and new year resolutions and junk mails, they NEVER come true...I'm never gonna wish for anything next time, but I will pretend to just to make you believe. Happy Earth Hour...

Goodbye Facebook, Hello Blog

Goodbye facebook...hello blog =D Why? Facebook is the best social network site out there and you are out of your mind to deny the existence of Facebook! Well, that's just the reason why I'm quitting it.

HUH?!

The point is, I dont want to be dependant on it to know what my "friends's" status are. Not like I care anyway. It's like every small little thing that happens to any of them will be posted. So far I've been using fb, I was looking everywhere for the "delete friend" or "block friend" button but couldn't find them. Simply "ignoring" them is not cruel enough...I MUST be satisfied with the "block" feature xD

Fb: The website that revolutionized web technologies, is still expanding its features and is competing with Google Buzz. Seriously, I don't care which is better simply because I'm not the type who shares and cares. Blogging is like writing a diary, but only I am able to read back what I'd experienced in life and write about things that offend others (lol). Most of the stuff I blog are emo stuff, so...stop reading now if you're tired of reading more?

And what's up with Glee being the no. 1 musical show?! Damn, just seeing the advertisement makes me wanna change the channel. All those hype and marketing strategy used to make people curious "What is Glee?" really annoys me...shit...

30 Seconds to Mars - Hurricane

No matter how many times you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breathe
No matter how many nights that you lie wide awake to the sound of the poison rain

Where did you go~ Where did you go~ Where did you go...

Heartbeat, a heartbeat, I need a...
Heartbeat, a heartbeat

Tell me would you kill, to save a life
Tell me would you kill, to prove you're right

Crash, crash, burn... let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

No matter how many deaths I die, I will never forget...
No matter how many lives I live, I will never regret...

There is a fire inside and it's starting a riot,
about to explode into flames,

Where is your god~ where is your god~ where is your god...

OooOoOo~ OOooOOOoo~

Do you really want...
Do you really want me...
Do you really want me dead...
Or alive to torture for my sins

Do you really want...
(heartbeat, a heartbeat)

Do you really want me...
(I need a...heartbeat a heartbeat)
Do you really want me dead...
(You know I gotta leave, I cant stay)
Or alive to live a lie
(I know I gotta go, I cant stay)

Tell me would you kill, to save a life
Tell me would you kill, to prove you're right

Crash, crash, burn... let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

You say you're wrong, you're wrong, I'm right, I'm right, you're wrong, we fight
Ok, I'm running from the light, running from the day to night oh,
The quiet silence defines the misery,
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me,
No matter how we try, it's too much history,
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony

So let it breathe, let it fly, let it go
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow...

And then you call upon god...oh you call upon god

Tell me would you kill, to save a life
Tell me would you kill, to prove you're right

Crash, crash, burn... let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

OOoohhhh oohhh ohhhh!! x4
(this hurricane)

Do you really want...
OOoohhhh oohhh ohhhh!!
Do you really want me...

Do you really want me dead...
OOoohhhh oohhh ohhhh!!
Or alive to torture for my sins

Do you really want...
OOoohhhh oohhh ohhhh!!
Do you really want me...

Do you really want me dead...
OOoohhhh oohhh ohhhh!!
Or alive to live a lie

Running away from the night... running away from the light
(Running away to save your life)

Grandma's Baptism

It's very rare to see people get baptized at around their 80's. Yesterday we witnessed her baptism at the (nursing) homes near Taman Sentosa, off Old Klang Road. The reverend followed us to the homes, and set up a small circle in my grand parents' room and guess what? My nightmare began...he said we should start by SINGING A HYMN of prayer! Oh nooeesssss!!! Ok la, show face a bit....I sing...

After singing, we prayed somemore, bla bla bla, and finally came the moment where he "splashed" water on her forehead. It makes me feel relieved to know that she finally has someone to believe in. I mean, with the guy above watching over her (or at least that's what she might think), she can relax more in a psychological way that is. He also said that when going through to the afterlife, she need not worry anymore for He shall be her guide in Heaven. Guess all I can say is that I felt happy for her.

I also overheard her saying to the reverend that she experienced nightmares that are "mm 3 mm 4" (direct translation: nonsense). When he heard this, he was like "hmm, ok...why not next time when you face these problems, you can try calling out His name and ask him to help you out?"

"Jesus, save me~" he repeated this many times so that she could pronounce it right.

And I was trying my best not to laugh...(yea, yea i know...I'm a non-believer...)

Ughhh Factors When Watching Movies

Alright, finally had some free time (wait, that's an understatement...should be LOTS of free time) in office to talk about the things that annoy me when Im watching my movie, either on the big screen or the idiot box (what is idiot box? go search the meaning yourself..).

Countdown to the things that make me go UGHHH when watching movie:

10) Distracting noises/sound from the environment - from where i live, this can only be achieved by the ever almighty place of worship, the Mosque. Other than that, noises coming from the crowd and annoying ahbeng/ahlien ringtones in the cinemas rarely happens.

9) People trying to act smart - Lots of cases of these happen between old folks, aunties and uncles. This happens when watching their favourite serial drama. Sometimes one uncle/auntie will go "ha! i know who killed him! Must be his grandfather's sister's son's wife's cousin sister-in-law etc etc". Keep to yourself la...dont potong people's stim can or not...

8) People walking across your line of sight, repeatedly blocking your view until you have to say "oi, im watching show la, dont block...***** no manners..."

.
.
.
.

I know you guys cant bear reading all 10 points, so i'll just skip to number 1.

.
.
.

1) People suffering from blur-case syndrome - Seriously, this is the ultimate annoyance factor. Imagine watching the intro for a CSI show and suddenly a friend/family member goes "who did that?". Diu...watch the show and find out laaaaa...dont act noob please~~ Your questions will be answered right before the end of the show, ok??

There...i made a list of the factors that make me go UGHHH when watching movies/shows. Hopefully in future, i can refer back to this list for any updating to be done.

2012 Movie Review

When this movie first came out in the cinemas, I've heard plenty of hype that it was a great movie, a "must-watch" movie of the year. I was a bit skeptical about the movie, but didnt get to watch in in the cinemas (for some unknown reason). The trailer looked promising with action packed in less than 5 min.

Well, the trailer was (as you know it) just a trailer. The best parts of the movie is already in the trailer and there is nothing else jaw-dropping left in the movie. I watched for the first 30 min and I'm already feeling sleepy. I guess the biggest mistakes made by the producers of the movie is to include random technical jargon all over the place, stuff that relate to geological and astronomical studies and what-not. 30 min was wasted on that, not to mention nonsense, lame, and political dialogues that bring no meaning to the whole story. At least PJ's King Kong did a better storytelling of the background of the characters that serve different purposes later in the movie.

Apparently, in 2012, in the biggest and most dominant country in the whole world, their citizens STILL do not realize that the "government" are all lies. They STILL believe them when they are asked to "calm down" when reality suggests they should be panicking. Really bodoh *facepalm*. Also, many people said this movie was "action packed all the way from start till end". I dont see any "action". unless you people mean "verbal action" la~. Things like "we have to get out of blablabla, get to blablabla. Come on! Hurry blablabla. Get that blablabla. We gotta make it out here alive blablabla."

And I really really hope they dont mean the CG...because CG dont mean anything other than to make you "waaa, you saw that?! the car went thru a collapsing glass building!!! yeng wor!!!". Seriously, dont...i will kill you for that. IMO, "The Sinking of Japan" did better overall although the CG was quite fake. THAT movie was touching, saddening and shows the fight for survival and ultimate sacrifice. 2012 on the other hand...is like a ride in the jurassic park which lasts for (yep...you guessed it) less than 5 min.

There are so many negative things i want to say, but i just cant remember the movie. It is that bad! I wanted to turn off the dvd player after 1 hour into the movie...but didnt because my parents were watching (my mother was totally oblivious to what's happening on-screen and contributed to my UGHHH factor)

**UGHHH factor = things that i dont like when watching a movie

hmm, i really should create a post just for that, just realised i didnt make one before

No Need Title Laaaa

Have you ever played games, as in video games, before? Dont know why some people always say certain games are fake/not real/nonsense. Yea, games are fake...that's why it is a DAMN GAME. You want real? Then go rob a bank, play with the police, gamble your life in prison, try it! Its fun...i can assure you...Games are meant to be fake, come on. Why nobody ever complained "hey, look! It's Tetris...so fake...i wont play" WTF, obviously there is no such thing as "falling-bricks-which-will-twist-and-turn-at-will-in-mid-air-to-form-lines-at-the-floor-just-to-disappear-and-be-repeated-all-over-again-until-the-bricks-actually-fall-faster-and-then-the-game-over-screen-pops-up-mysteriously". To say that a game is fake just proves how irrational you can be in making decisions. I'll just go ahead and assume you are one of those people who play Final F-king Fantasy games (that game is boring as hell for me, but i wont say its fake, unlike you, because the combat system is very much like playing Chess which is turn-based...). LOL, if US and the middle east are going at their throats like turn-based strategy games, i will be amused. Seriously, who goes to war saying "ok, your turn now".

What-ever la...Maybe you're just the kind of person who does not game, very well, i can understand that...but dont let me catch you playing those flash games on FB because i will (and i mean i WILL) go up to you and scold you for being a hypocrite that you are, and always will be.

On a side note, Im going for my company's annual dinner tonight...so here's hoping i wouldn't come back empty handed. High hopes for the following lucky gifts:-

1. video cam
2. DSLR cam
3. iphone/3G handphone...?
4. x-hdd
5. console (haha, highly unlikely they will prepare this as a present XD)

if all else fails...then going home with goodie bag or hamper also ok kua...at least got something to fill up my stomach when im hungry...

No Need Title...

How sucky can my life be? I mean, my WHOLE DAMN life is full of ffkers. Shit, being an ffker damn nice la now is it?! Fine, I can play this game too. Or probably not, because I'm a damn nice guy to begin with. "hey, look it's mr nice guy, lets ffk him...he wont be angry with us". Yeah, take advantage all you want, karma is gonna bite you in the ass one day.

On a side note, I've gotta get my body checked soon since being such a nice guy is utterly unfair as I began experiencing all kinds of shit going through my body. Since college I've been experiencing pain in my heart (yes...real pain, although other kinds of "heart pain" were present during that time). The pain is like a needle pricking from the inside out, but rarely happens. It happens at random times.

Oddly enough, it doesn't happen when I'm excited; such as playing outdoor games, laughing out loud, watching pr0n, or breathing heavily whatsoever. It just happens randomly just like yesterday when i was sitting down calmly programming a software while it struck me from within *ughH~~* and its gone.

Is it my heart or my lungs? It is always at the same place (which is at the heart). Thinking hard whether to tell parents about this or not...cause Im their only son...and what if diagnosed...and said if I could not live long *touch wood*...what would be their reaction...damn...i wanna cheat death lehhhhh...wanna have a family with grand kids first before i go...*denggg, emo-ing already*. Bah, go rest 1st...
