The Day That Never Comes

2008-09-29T21:56:00.004+08:00

One of Metallica's latest single;

The Day That Never Comes!!!

A really really good song. =)

This song is kinda like the reminiscent of Fade To Black, Orion and One. Metallica deserves some credits for this. Been awhile since they actually had a really good song since The Black Album.

Anyways, will start blogging soon again. Stay Tuned!

The Best Job

2008-07-27T00:20:00.005+08:00

Recently, the state government of Terengganu has defended the purchase of 14 Mercedes E200 Kompressor cars at RM3.43mil for the use of its state executive councillors and senior officials. Apparently, the Mercedes is much cheaper to maintain compared to the Proton Perdanas. Yeah, and the f**ked up government is still charging us 300% tax on imported cars. So, this means that us, citizens either pay high price for the imported cars or buy local cars which will be more costly to maintained.

According to the dumb MP of Terengganu, in reality, they will be forking out more money in the long run if they were to buy the Perdanas. In short, us, citizens who try to limit our budget by getting a local car, actually end up spending more than the 300% tax imposed on foreign cars.

I understand the government's action to tax us so that our currency do not flow out from our country and all that shit. Although we're actually not benefiting much from buying local cars, TAK APA LAH.

But, WTF, if the government set up those taxes, they have to also set an example to use local cars themselves. God Damn It. People in Terengganu are certainly glad to pay taxes to those in power for them to buy luxurious cars. Terengganu citizens are very generous huh?

My conclusion? The best job today in Malaysia is to be politician in BN. Why? You can be as dumb as an asshole, have an IQ of 0, and do not need to know anything.

And you still get a free Mercedes. =) The citizens who voted for you would be generous enough to give you one.

Good job eh?

The Effects of iChat

2008-07-24T22:23:00.007+08:00

School Memories pt.1

2008-06-30T20:18:00.008+08:00

A few weeks back, Ruben and I went back to our secondary school to collect our SPM certs. While we were there, we managed to catch up with our Biology teacher, Pn. Salma for a chat. She still remembers us. Chunted. =) And she was saying how wonderful our batch of form 5s were. (I still doubt her words. =S)

Anyways, after collecting our certs, Ruben and I decided to have a ~~romantic~~ walk in the school compound trying to recall all our fun memories we had in school. From how we played pen-ball, to football in class, and how our class always gets banned from the library because we used to wrestle each other in it, those were the good memories that will be staying in my mind for quite some time. And now, I will be putting up a few pictures when we were in S.M.K. Bukit Bandaraya!

This was before getting our PMR results way back in 2004

Random-ness

2008-06-22T01:40:00.005+08:00

Recently I bought a guitar which is the Kirk Hammett Signature Series and I wanted to lanci (show off) to my music classmates. And this is how it went;

Jennifer : Eh eh, see your guitar.

jY : Here. Looks damn cool right.

Jennifer : Ehhhhhhh! Looks damn CUTE laaa.

jY : Wtf? Suppose to look cool lehh!

Shawn : No laa, cutee. (Shawn was crazy over the guitar for some time but now he decides to back Jennifer. WTF?)

Jennifer : Okay, we ask Nazrin and Amanda later.

Amanda and Nazrin appears.

Jennifer : Eh eh see jY's guitar. Tell me cute or cool.

Amanda : Cute laaa, all the skulls there.

jY : Woi!

Jennifer : What do you think, Nazrin?

jY : I'll add one more la. Cool, Cute or Scary?

Nazrin : Errr, the skulls there all made it look gory. But the headstock there look so colorful. Hmmm, ironic.

jY : God damn it.

Anyways, that was totally random. This is how the guitar looks like.

ESP LTD KH-502

I'll give a review of the guitar the next time.

Oh well, I wished I could blog more, but somehow I no semangat. Lots of ideas though. Sighh. Well, I guess thats about it for now.

Ibanez PGM3

2008-05-19T21:18:00.004+08:00

Man, I have been missing from the blogging world for some time. I will update it really soon. But as for now, I'll upload a few pictures of Shawn's new guitar which I helped him collect recently.

Ibanez

PGM3

This model is the PGM30 by Ibanez, yess, PGM series!!! The Paul Gilbert Signature Series. Lucky boyyyy Shawn... This guitar comes with INF pickups, and I'm quite impressed with it. Distortion sounds really good with this. Perfect for Grunge and Metal. However, the clean sound isn't really good. It's too weak. Well, that's all I'll say about the PGM3.

Anyway, I'll update my blog really sooon about all my school memoriesss. =)

My First MARSHALL!!!

2008-03-30T01:25:00.006+08:00

And so I got my first Marshall amp. =) Cool Right??!! =p

WOO-HOO!

My guitar and my amp

HAHAHAHAHA! Got Conned! It's just a 5 watts mini-stack Marshall Amp. Looks like a 100 watts stack amp right?! =p

Here's the size of it in comparison with my 35 watts amp.

And with my real guitar in it together now. =)

This Marshall amp was the same amp used in School Of Rock by Jack Black when he played Smoke On The Water. This amp is really fun because you can just put it in your pocket and play ANYWHERE you want to. Street busking. Hehehe. So fun. =)

2008-02-28T02:09:00.005+08:00

Recently, Estranged won an award in Anugerah Juara Lagu for their hit 'Itu Kamu'. Keep rocking on man! This was about a month back. I kinda forgot to blog about it till now. =p Heard they're coming out with a new album soon.

Here is their performance in AJL, live on TV3.

I haven't seen them in a while. Last time was the interview with their lead guitarist, Hanafi. Click here if you're curious about it. =p

The interviewing process. LMAO!

On March 15, they will be performing in the SunBurst KL 08 International Music Festival alongside Incubus, John Legend and local bands like One Buck Short, Pop Shuvit and so on. Well, I'm looking forward to it. But the freaking ticket costs RM 200! And Amir's trying to get a discount from Hanafi if he can. I sure hope so!

For more info of the event;
Continue Rocking On Estranged!!!

Abigail Chay

2008-02-26T17:27:00.008+08:00

If you watch a lot of Singapore series, you might recognize this actress.

Yeap, the first time I saw her acting in 'Money Not Enough', I laughed so hard that I could die. Well, that was many years ago. You may laugh so hard last time but behind this lady, it used to be a man who was determined to go against all odds to make his dreams come true. Yeap, Abigail Chay used to be a guy and he went for a sex change.

You might feel somewhat-against this sex change thingy, like ewwww! Pondans!, that's how I used to think, but not until I watched this show. It's called 'Life Story'. And in this episode, it is about Abigail's true story behind her comedian acting and all. She actually had a very sad story behind her sex change. And now I'm confused whether 'sex change' is right or wrong.

Here are the videos, it's only about 15 minutes long. I do recommend you watch it. It's kinda funny and it did touched my heart a little and made me learned a few lessons from it.

Part 1/4

Part 2/4

Part 3/4

Part 4/4

Basically, the story talks about how Abigail, since young, knew that he was a woman trapped in a man's body. At that time, he was known as Caesar Chay and how he used to day-dream about becoming a lady in real life. How he used to join the girls and play dolls and not play football with the guys, how he used to have secret crushes on guys. He tried very hard to be a guy, he even served NS in Singapore, but as time pass by, he finally made the decision to undergo sex change. To become who he really is, her true personality. A woman.

After the change, she continues to find many tough challenges in her life. Like how she was dumped by her fiance on her marriage, how people took her for granted and blackmailed her, how people teased and laughed at her. Her parents however continued to be supportive of her. What I really liked about this show is that she acted in the show herself! What a courage!

Many people would like whisper behind her back and insult her, but she will always show u that big smile of hers. She has a 'tolerance of a steel' and she doesn't blame them at all. She says it's okay for people to be curious. I think most girls would probably break down and cry. I kinda feel damn bad for laughing at her so much last time.

See, the thing is many of you would like tell me, "Hey jY, that's a guy you're talking about there man! Of course lah, she can tahan all these challenges and all, and how she won't get emotional easily and all". But you're wrong. She's actually a woman trapped in a guy's body. She has the feelings of a woman, the heart of a woman, the thinking of a woman and the desire to be a woman. I mean, isn't it pitiful that she's trapped in man's body. It's not like she asked for it or anything. Imagine if you were a girl trapped in a guy's body. Or the other way round. She's a woman by all means.

So now, what I don't get is how some girls who are already pretty, complain about how 'ugly' they look, or how 'not perfect' they are, or whatever la. Please lah, cherish yourself, cherish everything that you have now. This Abigail Chay is given a man's body and yet she still can be proud of herself and be happy with life. After all, she believes that true femininity is not based on how well you gesture-ise yourself, but how sincere you are and how soft you are when you deal with people. So, we really shouldn't judge people by their looks.

I'm not saying looks don't count, but it only matters in first impressions. Now I do seem to understand why people meant by 'the true beauty is in your heart'. The inner-beauty. This show, to be frank, touched my heart. When I used to see her last time, I was like kinda, "Yerrr, why got woman in the world like this one??", but not anymore. This show has made me realized something that I can't really explain. All I know is that, just cherish everything that belongs to you now, you'll never really how important they are until you have lost them. I'm not just talking about looks, I'm also talking about your friends, your family, your lovers etc. etc. Cherish everything about them. It's about their personality which makes you love them. I've also learnt that parents will always be there for you. So do whatever you can to make them proud.

Conclusion? You don't have to pretty from the outside. It'll fade one day. It's the inner-beauty that would stay and ultimately attract friends and someone who will deserve you. Cheers Abigail Chay! You Rock!

A Fine Piano Duel

2008-02-21T00:26:00.005+08:00

I met with Adrian recently and we were talking lotsa bullshit and he asked me to watch this piano duel scene in the movie 'Secret'.

The movie was directed by Jay Chou and I was like, 'Aihh, damn gay laa'. But I just went to watch it la, NO HARM RIGHT!!! Not like I will turn 'lala' or something.

When I watched it, I was like, WOW!!! Gay Chou ain't gay after all. I just love watching duels. I must say this a really good one. One of the bests I've ever seen. They were battling out Chopin's composition.

Here's the scene of it;

~~Gay~~ Jay Chou Battling it out on the piano

I love the 3rd(final) piece of the duel.

Anyways, I'm damn addicted to this song. It's called Misery Business by Paramore. Yeah, its pop rock a.k.a gay rock. But I dunno why I find this song so catchy!

Till then, adios.

Aloha!

2008-02-12T21:20:00.014+08:00

I've never really blogged about our band. Well, I guess this would be my first. We've only played 3 gigs so far. This time it was held in HELP's HMC department. It was kinda like a last minute thing for us. First we were informed it was an acoustic performance, but 2 days just before the gig, they told us it was electric. Then, our drummer was busy on that day so we had to get like Ben to play for us. Ben didn't really had enough time to practice our songs in 2 days, so yeahhh... I've to say that our performance that day was our worst so far! BUT we enjoyed the hell out of it. The crowd were really responsive and they were clapping to the rhythm and all.

Trivium Wanna-Be?

We were all very curious about the chick in green especially Eugene

I'm really happy that now we're having Adrian to help us on keyboards and Mahdi might play bass for us since Lang's going back to Australia.
Well, I'm just updating for the sake of updating. Here are a few pictures too from the CNY gathering in my house last Sat.

Today I went to 'observe' the Core Musician Program(CMP) Course in Music Makers with Lang. We ended up joining the girls playing Latin music. We were kinda lost, I was the worst! Slowed down the lesson! Haha! Sorry Pam and Sara! But we had lotsa fun man! I really look forward for the next class! It was an honor to play with the best bunch of students in my first class in Music Makers. We got to play the clave, the shaker and many other cool instruments. Never knew Music Makers offered such a course. Ahhh, the music spirit in me keeps growing everyday. Although I'm a NOOB! LOL!

OMG SO FUNNY SHIT!!!

A Beginning Of a New Year

2008-01-04T00:44:00.000+08:00

Yeap, so 2008 has arrived. I miss my school life a lot. REALLY man! How time flies!

Well, on New Year's eve, I woke up slightly earlier and followed Lang and his brother to get his New Year/Birthday present. Damn it man, I didn't know he was getting the guitar that I've wanted for quite some time. The Ibanez RG series. It's very well suited for lead guitar solos and metal kinda song. He bought it for RM 1500 at a discounted price.

Ibanez RG-Tremolo Series

Isshhh, Jealous-nyer aku. I'll just wait laa. Sighh..

We then headed to Pavilion KL to get some J.Co donuts for the Granny Jeng Jeng who is stupid and lame and loser and so obviously retarded whose butthole is as ugly as Steven Tyler's lips.

Bloody hell la, aku nih dah charge F.O.C summore wanna complain bad service!

Preparing the donuts

The various flavours

Shawn you idiot! It's SAVE RM 21.80!

Our portion

Then, we headed back to Bangsar and had lunch, and invited Amir for pool in Mid Valley.

It was almost dinner time and we were supposed to join Szen and gang all for dinner. So, Ong and Shawn decided to come my house first to meet up.

Amir and Shawn jamming in my room

There were like 7 of us and Ong was the only one who is willing to drive. I swear to you that Ong has the coolest MyVi in the world man. We managed to convert the car into a freakin SUV to fit in all 7 of us. We turned his car boot into our seats. Freakin shit cool! Su Yi lucky lar get the front seat. All of us had to squeeze in the back there. Mannn!!!

We then meet up with Diana, Shaliza, Mei Hsuan and gang. And we also met up with Szen, Desmond, Vivian and gang. None of us could agree to eat at one place. So we decided to just eat ourselves and meet up in Laundry after dinner.

We ate in some Japanese Lala Restaurant, and then celebrated our New Year's there itself. Well, there weren't much event there. Except Vishnu and his friends got drunk and made a scene in Laundry. We went for yum-cha and lepaked till the jam was clear. Left The Curve about 4a.m. and there goes our New Year! Here are the pics of the night;

BBQ

2007-12-18T21:05:00.000+08:00

So it was a small BBQ party in Bangsar Sports Complex with a few of my college friends.

I called Lang to help along as he always organizes this kinda party every year.

Well, I even called Riz ~~The Budak Bermasalah~~ and Amir along to join in the fun. Eugene dunno why FFK.

Anyways, it started with me and Lang buying hardware equipments, the rest was in charge of the food. Bill came up to about RM 210 in total.

Our plan almost got canceled, thanks to the rain. Fortunately, the rain stopped and we managed to carry on with our plan.

Lang begin doing his job and THANK GOD our food don't turn up black! Bad experience from Naz's BBQ. Hahahaha!

Those who turned up for the BBQ were Linda, Vivian, Su Szen, Lang, Amir, Riz, Desmond, Sebastian, Weng Khye and I. There were ~~no chicks~~ only 3 chicks.

Sam, Boon Ken, Don and Mun Wei joined in too for a while.

The BBQ ended about 12a.m. And so that was the day, here are the pictures of the night;

Fcuk! What a long bill!

Our food

Across The Universe

2007-12-17T02:14:00.000+08:00

Found a damn good cover of 'Hey Jude' by Joe Anderson. It's part of the soundtrack in Across The Universe film.

Well, I just know many of my friends will disagree that this is a good song.

Rock and Roll times are DEAD. Current MTV is only hip-hop, or rap. All that's left is memories of rock.

The Beatles FOREVER!!! CHEERS!!!

To all Lalas who disagree with me, DAMN YOU! Sun Yan Zi even made a cover of this song.

And here it is;

HEY JUDE
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

My Chemical Romance

2007-12-11T19:22:00.000+08:00

Yeap!!! My Chemical Romance in KL!!! I'm not really a big fan of them. But opportunity like this don't come so often. My Chemical Romance is the one of the only rock band that's still standing today. I mean, now Hitz.FM is full of shits like Sean Kingston, Linkin Park(gayyy), Gwen Stefani, Akon and other crap. Well, I guess it will be worth watching MCR when they're here. I mean, when is the next time they'll be here again? I don't wanna regret. So yeap, off we go to Stadium Merdeka!!!

5:15p.m. (adjust to Malaysian timing is about 5:45p.m. laaaa)
Met Lang and Lisa and Mc'Ds. Amir and Aisar joined us too after that and we headed to LRT (thanks to Amir's Dad). From there, we headed to the Monorail and got off at Maharajalela Station. Stadium Merdeka was just next to it.

6:30p.m.
We got in, but we missed the One Buck Short's performance. However, we managed to catch Pop Shuvit. They were producing a real good performance. Now, I understand why the Japanese fancy them so much. The only real thing I don't understand is, if Malaysians can enjoy Linkin Park, why not Pop Shuvit??? Sighhh, none of my business. I don't really like their kind of genre.

7:30p.m.
We couldn't really see a thing as our standings were quite far away. Lang and Lisa managed to cut in. But Amir was too pussy, so we decided to cut in all the way through the sides to the front in our standing zone. Yeap, we managed to cut in all the way to the first row, but the people behind us weren't very pleased with us. Especially the chinese adult couples. I got scared when they kinda like stared at me one kind. So I told Aisar I couldn't really see properly and switched places with him. Next, the chinese lady asked Aisar.

Chinese Stupid Lala Lady : Hey, did u know that you just cut through our place?
Aisar : Yes.
Chinese Stupid Lala Lady : Are you embarrassed at yourself?
Aisar : Yes. (so she would have nothing to say)
Chinese Stupid Lala Lady : Then, are you gonna move back now?
Aisar : No.

Hahahahahahaha! Serves them right la stupid lala people. I wanted to tell them;

"Dude, this is FREE STANDING ZONE!!! Can't you see it in your ticket??? We did not take your place. We just went further in front of you, dickhead!!!"

Hmmm, view was much clearer enough at our standings already then.

8:30 p.m.
Sound check. Some bald guy on stage appeared. Everyone started cheering. (Dumbasses) He's in charge of the sound check la, dungu. Aisar shouted Daughtry!!!!!!! And the chinese lala guy started laughing.
The chinese lala lady gave an angry look to her boyfriend and had a message like;
'Are you on my side or his side?'

10 minutes later,
My Chemical Romance took over the stage. 10000 people started cheering like no others' business and wow, I have to say. The sound from Gibsons and Marshalls can't be beaten by any other brands in the world. They performed songs mostly from the Black Parade album, only 'Helena' and 'I'm not Okay(I promise)' were from the previous album.

I did take some videos, but you can't really hear Gerard Way's voice because Amir and I should have just shut out bloody mouth as we can't sing for god sake. Here are a few of the videos that I recorded.

The Black Parade

I Don't Love You

I Don't Love You(2)

Lang, Lisa, jY, Amir, Aisar

The show ended about 10p.m. We then headed back to Bangsar for supper in Pelitas. There was good news. M'boro 2 - Arsenal 1. Hooray baby!!!! I met someone I've been chatting last time with but I didn't know it was her. No wonder her face looked so familiar, but I thought,

'Hey, what was Mei Hsuan doing in Bangsar Baru at like 12a.m???'

Sigh, then I went back home and realized it was her when we chatted online. Hahaha. Well, that ends the day. Overall, the performance was 4/5. It was freaking awesome. But I just don't know why I would not give it a 5/5. However, I have to give the sound quality 5/5. That's all about it. Adios.

The Truth About Malaysia

2007-12-04T15:07:00.000+08:00

A Malaysian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a
different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks: "What
do they do here?"

He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then
they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes
in and whips you for the rest of the day."

The man does not like the sound of that at all so he moves on. He checks
out the American hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He
discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.

Then he comes to the Malaysian hell and finds that there is a very long
line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks "What do they do here?"
He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then
they
lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Malaysian devil
comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."

"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so
many people waiting to get in? "

"Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work,
someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former
Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the
canteen for teh-tarik..."

Chicken

2007-10-20T00:20:00.000+08:00

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road??

If it is for common people, the Grandpa will say...
A: GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the
road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the
road, and that was good enough for us.

And those famous others...

A: DR. SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a
toad? Yes, The chicken crossed the road, But why it
crossed, I've not been told!

A: ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain. Alone.

A: MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to
cross roads without having their motives called into
question.

A: JOHN LENNON
Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

A: ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

A: KARL MARX
It was an historical inevitability.

A: VOLTAIRE
I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will
defend to the death its right to do it.

A: BILL GATES
I have just released MS eChicken 2003, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
important documents, and balance your checkbook - and
Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of MS
eChicken 2003.

A: ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road
move beneath the chicken?

A. CAPTAIN KIRK
To boldly go where no chickens has gone before..

A: COLONEL SANDERS
I missed one?

But for those politicians and related.....

A: GEORGE W. BUSH
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road.
We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of
the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it
is against us. There is no middle ground here.

A: COLIN POWELL
Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the
satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

A. TONY BLAIR
Don't know if the chicken cross the road.
Just follow what George does.
I think the world will be safer.

A: HANS BLIX
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we
have not yet been allowed access to the other side of
the road.

A: MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraqi ambassador to the UN)
The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete
fabrication. We don't even have a chicken.

A: SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were
quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on
those chickens.

A: OSAMA BIN LADEN
If the chicken crossed the road, it is the will of
Allah. We will bomb anyone who tries to prevent it
crossing the road.

A. JOHN KERRY
It is the wrong road for the chicken to cross.
I have a better plan.

A. BILL CLINTON
I did not have sex with that chicken!

A: MAHATHIR MOHAMAD
What was wrong in the chicken crossing the road? The
West think they can decide the way the chicken should
cross. Well, this means I can't retire yet.

A. THAKSIN
It is ok to cross the road.
There is no chicken flu on either side of the road.

Trolleys

2007-09-30T16:20:00.000+08:00

We were all leaving after pool from MV back to Bangsar. It was already 1:30a.m. We walked down the stairs and Shameer spotted 2 trolleys at the side.

Shameer : Hey, come on let's hop on it. It's not like we get to do this everytime and this is our childhood dreams.

Visvesh : Don't be childish laa............Okay, let's do it.

So we inserted the 20 cents coin in the trolley and Visvesh hopped on it and we started pushing him around MV pass the shops which are already closed. Until one part, Ruben decided to push Visvesh as far as he could and just let him go. Visvesh told him to stop but Ruben just continued and pushed him towards a tree pot. Arghhh, should have recorded that.

Next was Shameer's turn. Visvesh wanted to take revenge and pushed him towards Watsons and Shameer ended up knocking on the grill barrier of Watsons. BANG!!! We started running away as far as we could leaving Shameer behind in the trolley until the security guard came towards us and said; Apa main kejar-kejar semua?

If only I recorded it....Cheh...Haha!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MADAN, SHAWN, EUGENE and ISAAC and GOODBYE JANA!!!

It was Madan's birthday (Sept 26th), Shawn's birthday (Sept 27th), Eugene's (Sept 29th) and Isaac's too (Oct 1). And our very dear and good friend Mr. Jana is leaving off to Russia to do his medic course there.

So we decided to have all this events in Chilis for the birthday boys and mainly for the farewell gathering.

I've known Jana since primary school in Std. 5 but got really close to him in Form 1 (AS A FRIEND DAMN IT) . We've done many fun things together, he was my classmate for 4 years and tuitionmate for 5 years.

We've even fought until we started to bruise each other but after that everything was fine. Pen-fights, pen-balls, football, wrestling, CS, sleep-overs, Genting, Tioman and trolleys.....those were the memories, and now he's leaving to Russia in hours time, well time really flies.

Make sure to give us a call when you're back in Malaysia again. Less 1 kaki already now, sighhh...We'll all miss you man. Have a good time and life there. And come back with a Russian Chick okay!!!

Wow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIAN!!!

2007-09-19T22:11:00.000+08:00

So it's Vivian's birthday today! She's a friend of mine in college. =) It was sweet 17 for her and she is finally able to take her driving license after always hitching a ride from Desmond for F.O.C.

So we decided to celebrate it in Berjaya Time Square in the 'LALA' land for the 'LALA' girl. On the way there, Desmond was like a mad cow honking his ~~Mini Cooper~~ Kelisa towards every other cars on the road. Vivian, Linda, Su Szen, Kevan, Henry, Desmond, Sam and I were the people who came for the outing. Lunch was at Kenny Rogers and after that we decided to go for a movie. But it was already kinda late, so we just moved on to LowYat to do guys shopping.

We headed next to Green Box in Sungai Wang for KARAOKE!!! Kevan ~~the sissy~~ likes Justin Timberlake, so yeahhh... And Vivian wanted to sing Avril Lavinge's songs so much and I was in the mood for MCR and GnR. While we were singing, we did a surprise for Vivian with her birthday cake and started singing along too. By then it was already nearly 7p.m., and we decided to make a move.

Sam, was kind enough to give most of us a lift home. Thanks man!

That's all for the day! Here are the pics of the party;

WTF?!

Lalalalalalala!

iPod Touch...Mmmmmmm!!!

2007-09-16T01:21:00.000+08:00

Oooooooooooohhh LA LA!!! Just look at it! LOOK AT IT!!!

iPod Touch

Just by looking at it, it makes my whole body melt just like when I look at Jessica Alba's picture.

WHOAAAAA!!!

I mean, OH MY GAWDD...It's so freaking SEXY wei!!! But of course I'm not a freak to screw that thing. How laa? Through the earphones hole ar? SICK!!!

Anyways, the brand new iPod has new added features in it. Like it's touch-screen multi interface, WiFi browsing and a widescreen for your movies. ~~Ruben can now enjoy watching his porn collection in the 3.5 inch screen~~

Abdul Ruben Tan Chee Leong a/l Paramsoothy

Pretty cool eh? You can now enjoy watching movie like in cinema with its widescreen, go to StarBucks and chill out browsing the net and even download music from StarBucks!

Really much improvement over the Gen 5.5 iPod.

Previous iPod

However, the capacity is rather low with only 8GB or 16GB. Four DVD quality movies and that's the end of your media library. It's price is costly too.($399)

Here is the summarized specs of it;

* Height: 4.3 inches (110 mm)
* Width: 2.4 inches (61.8 mm)
* Depth: 0.31 inch (8 mm)
* Weight: 4.2 ounces (120 grams)
* Capacity : 8GB or 16GB flash drive
* 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display
* 480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch
* Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)
* Music playback time: Up to 22 hours when fully charged
* Video playback time: Up to 5 hours when fully charged

But thinking about it, how often would you use your iPod? My own one is collecting dust as I don't travel that much. And even, how often would you watch a movie on it when you have like a much bigger computer or TV screen in front of you. Eugene himself sold his iPod to Lisa after only 3 months of usage because he was bored with it. So, it really isn't wise to buy the iPod after much consideration.

I guess now that shifts my attention towards the iPhone!

iPhone =)

After all I need a new phone after my K700i went 'sot-sot' after I was stupid enough to go in the water with it. Long story...

So I'm using some donno what Nokia model la..Games in it are pretty fun though. =p

But hell, the iPhone is freaking expensive. Now, who wants to start donating for my iPhone?

Sigh. Got to go! ~~Sweet~~ iPhone DREAMS!!!

A Short-Cut To Become a Celebrity

2007-08-26T00:24:00.000+08:00

People dream of becoming famous and rich. Infact many of us do.

BUT

How on earth do we do that? To become like these people....

Matt Damon

Chris Tucker

Jackie Chan

Shah Rukh Khan

Rich

Hoho, it sure took a pretty long time and effort to actually be a celebrity.

But not after I observed these people.

Paris Hilton. ~~All bitches like her~~

Nicole Richie

Lindsay Lohan

From what I see, these celebrities got to fame in a quick and unique way.

So, you guys should probably follow their footsteps if you want a short cut.

Here is what you should do.

1. Produce your own home made sex videos.

2. Get drunk all the time.

3. While drunk, go and drive on the North South Highway at 240km/h.

4. Surrender yourself to the police and get jailed.

There your are;

FOUR simple steps on your way to becoming a celebrity.

Estranged, an interview with lead guitarist, Hanafi

2007-08-17T15:02:00.000+08:00

Ever heard of Estranged? They're currently one of the leading local bands in Malaysia. With only one album produced, they shot all the way up to fame in the country, especially with their song 'Itu Kamu'.

ESTRANGED

Their hit music! Watch it!!! ITU KAMU!!!

So, we decided to interview one of the members, and it was the lead guitarist Hanafi.

Hanafi with his Kurt Cobain guitar

We were even invited to interview the whole band of Estranged, but we are not those Hitz.fm or MTV or TV3, we are just some bunch of crack fellas hanging around. We knew we couldn't manage to handle such a BIG thing. So, we decided just to interview with lead guitarist, Hanafi.
Here's a short story on how Estranged was formed;

*************************************************************************************************

Estranged started out in the year 2001 when Rich and Din were students in the International College of Music (ICOM) wanting to play rock music, therefore, they gathered a bunch of guys who had similar interests, thus, Estranged is formed. The band is named after one the songs in Guns n' Roses! 'Estranged'. The band started off with their first ever gig in year 2001 at TwelveSI and since then, the gigs kept on coming. The band has also gone through many changes in the line up, even to this day, original lead guitarist Adzrai had just departed with the band due to furthering his studies. New grunge-influenced guitarist Hanafi replaces him. Estranged participated in the “Yamaha Asian Beat Competition” for year 2001 and managed to finish 2nd runners-up for the competition.

In 2005, they released the In Hating Memory album, their very 1st Album which includes 10 English Tracks and 1 Malay language track.

In Sept 2006, the band got nominated for an Anugerah Era under the category “Favourite Local English Act” going against big acts such as Too Phat, Pop Shuvit, and Jaclyn Victor (Malaysian Idol winner) and to surprise, the band managed to win the award. This is followed by a double nomination on the Hitz.fm Malaysian English Top 10 Awards under the categories of Best Rock and Best Video. The band also managed to take home both awards for the respective categories.

Recently, they released the repackaged album of 'In Hating Memory' by adding the Malay language track 'Itu Kamu' which turned out to be a nationwide major hit.

Band:
Rich - Vocals
Hanafi - Lead guitarist
Din - Rhythm guitarist
Ken - Bassist

I've only been to one of their gigs. It was the Incubus Tribute Gig in KL Jam Asia (20th April 2007).

Incubus Tribute Gig

The interview was suppose to take place in Amir's house but Hanafi wanted to have it in Pelita(Mamak Stall) because he wanted to pass something to his friend there too. Too bad no chance to take pictures of his Kurt Cobain guitar. =(

His friend, Izuan turns out to be the lead singer of Auburn, I think. So, he joined us too to yum-cha there.

So, Amir, Eugene and I agreed and we walked to Pelita to carry on with the 'project'. Hanafi is a real friendly and nice guy. And he was asking;

Hanafi : So, you guys doing this for magazines/newspapers?

Amir : *giggles* It's for their blog.

jY & Eugene : Haha! Yeah. It's just for fun. =p

Hanafi : Okay, give me your sites once we're done. So, how are we going to start this?

And so we started; below are kinda like the summarized version of it.

The interviewing process

jY: We'll be asking questions first about yourself, then we'll move on to the band.

Hanafi : Okay. Sure.

INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS

Listen to the audio Part 1!

jY : How old were you when you first took up guitar-ing?

Hanafi : I started playing the guitar when I was Form 3, that was like 1997.

Eugene : Did you take it up yourself or did your parents like encouraged you?

Hanafi : Well, I did take it up myself after I saw one of my seniors performing with the guitar. During that time, I was in a boarding school in Raub, Pahang. That was the only entertainment in the hostel laa.

jY : To 'Pikat' Girls ar?

Hanafi : Err, not really......not really...

Us : Hahahaha!

jY : It's just for personal interest and hobby laa?

Hanafi : Yeah, because that time during my high school time, Sad to say la, I wasn't that famous and I wanted to prove myself in a way.

Us : You've proven it now already!!!

Hanafi : But mostly it's to release stress in our boarding school.

jY : What was the first guitar that you received or that you bought?

Hanafi : My first guitar was a Yamaha Nylon Strings.

jY : Acoustic? Oh oh sorry! Classical?

Hanafi : Yeap.

jY : How did you change to electric from classical?

Hanafi : Well, the thing is my friend borrowed my guitar. He borrowed and broke it, so I had to buy a new one. That's how it is la.

jY : So your playing style also change la?

Hanafi : I didn't really start of with classical at first. I started straight away with Nirvana.

Eugene : So Nirvana inspired you. Kurt Cobain...

Hanafi : Yeah I was inspired by his song la basically. The first song I learnt was 'About a Girl'.

jY : What other bands do you look up to? Your favourites.

Hanafi : Butterfingers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, errrr....

Eugene : Incubus?

Hanafi : Yeah!

jY : What about guitarist idol?

Hanafi : Are you talking about guitar heroes, like more to solos that kind?

jY : Yeah.

Hanafi : Well, to be honest, I'm not too much of a solo-ist kind of guitarist. I'm more of like- composing the structure of the song, so I like erm, Daniel John.

jY : You have a real nice guitar of Kurt Cobain. Where do you get it and is it very limited?

Hanafi : Oh that time is 1997, it was a reissue model in 1997 and I bought it in Bentley and that time I was madly insane over Kurt Cobain, so I bought the guitar. Sometimes, I do regret buying it.

Us : Why?

Hanafi : Well, it's not a real magnificent guitar if you all wanna know la.

jY : So whats your dream guitar then?

Hanafi : My dream guitar ar? It's hard to say la coz therez a lot I haven't tried out. But I am looking at Jaguars, Gibson Les Paul, Strat.

jY : What's your proudest and biggest acheivement so far?

Hanafi : I guess, erm showing everyone that music can make a living la.

BAND QUESTIONS

jY : Okay, now we'll talk more about the band. How and when was Estranged formed?

Hanafi : They were formed in 2001, the original members were Rich and Din. I wasn't the original members. I joined in only in 2005. The thing is, I grew up listening to them from the first time they started up as the band, as a fan la.

Eugene : But how do you get in touch in them?

Hanafi : Oh, they were my college-mates.

Us : Oh!

jY : Were they looking for any new guitarist that time? So, you decided to join them?

Hanafi : That was in 2005 la. But during back then, I was hanging out a lot that time. That time they were looking for another guitarist. I was kinding hoping I could join them.

Eugene : Then, how do you end up in Estranged?

Hanafi : Well, the previous guitarist had to study abroad and he left the band. So, one day I got a call inviting me to join in the band.

jY : What is the biggest achievement of Estranged so far?

Hanafi : I guess, to get our 'stuffs' to be acknowledged by the public.

jY : What about awards?

Hanafi : Erm, the latest one we got was during the Hitz.fm award ceremony. We won the Best Video and Best Rock.

Eugene : For Itu Kamu is it?

Hanafi : Not really. Erm..The video was Itu Kamu and Best Rock was Chocolate Syrup.

Listen to the audio! Part 2!

jY : Tell us more about the band members.

Hanafi : Well, Rich is the vocalist. He's from Sabah. You want really detail or what?

Eugene : Just the 'surface'. Probably tell us about their personalities. Coz we don't get to see it at home.

Hanafi : He's a LAZY BUM!

Rich: I'll HENTAM you HANAFI!!!

Us : Haha!

Hanafi : But when it comes to practice, he does take things seriously la.
Ermmm, Din is our rhythm guitarist. He's a great guy to hang out with. He comes out with amazing riffs that I can't. About Andy, he's a heart-beating drummer. He's a rocker la. His idol is, I think Dave Grohl (From Nirvana, currently in Foo Fighters). Something in resemblance la. Currently right now we don't have a bassist.

jY : Ken??

Hanafi : Ken left the band basically because of work commitment.

jY : When is your next gig or major performance?

Hanafi : During Merdeka in Sabah. Padang Merdeka, Sabah. Kota Kinabalu.

jY : We did went for your incubus tribute gig. Hmmm..How many albums do you have so far?

Hanafi : So far, we have 1 album. The first one is like a underground album. Now we have a repackaged album which includes 'Itu Kamu'.

Amir : Erm, how do you guys get inspired to compose the 'Itu Kamu' song.

Short Video Clip of Hanafi and Amir.

Hanafi : Well the song started of with Rich. The song is too far from our material. (Estranged is a metal band, Itu Kamu is more to pop rock) I admit it's a nice song. After Rich came out with the chords and all, then we put in our stuffs la, one by one.

Amir : So, Rich composed the song and lyrics is it?

Hanafi : Yeah, but the overall music is by Estranged la.

Amir : So what's the song about?

Hanafi : Ladies. =p . It's more about the good side of girls, females.

Izuan : How come you didn't have any fat girls in the video?

Hanafi : We did want to put them but..

Eugene : She was cut out?

Us : Hahaha!

Hanafi : We even tried to get a black lady. But they wanted payment and we didn't have the budget.

Amir : How much was the whole budget for the video?

Hanafi : For the whole production, it was like RM6-7 k.

Amir : Where do you record your songs?

Hanafi : We record in Shah Alam, it's a independent studio. We were lucky enough to record there for free la. But 'Itu Kamu' was in a different studio.

jY : Have you guys performed international? Like outside Malaysia?

Hanafi : Well, so far in Singapore la. That was during the Anugerah Planet Muzik.

jY : Do you guys plan to go further?

Hanafi : Oh! We would love to actually. If there's a chance, we would like to spread our songs la.

jY : What is your vision for Estranged?

Eugene : Like 5-10 years time, where do you see Estranged?

Hanafi : Erm, probably, we would love to change the whole perception in the music industry. We would love to play aside with other underground bands. I guess we would want to make our music worldwide as well.

jY : This is the last question. Erm, do you have any tips for young bands to be as successful as yours? How do you guys go through challenges?

Hanafi : Erm, the thing is, if you have problems with your band-mates, you better speak up! Haha! Seriously. We,Estranged fight a lot.

Eugene : Physical or?

Us : Haha!

Hanafi : No la! More mature la. Don't be afraid to spread out your thoughts and all la. You've got to overcome confusion and trust your band members.

Eugene : What about your parents? Were they supportive?

Hanafi : At first, they have doubts and all, but after I convinced them, they supported me.

jY : Do your siblings play any music?

Hanafi : Nope. My other brothers, one is still studying medic, one is a engineer and one is a IT crook.

Us : Haha!

jY : Your parents should be very proud of you.

Hanafi : Yeap.

jY : Alright, that ends the interview. Thank you very much and sorry for taking your time. Let's makan now!

THAT ISN'T SUMMARIZED! ITZ FREAKING LONG!!!

That wasn't the end of our interview. Infact we talked even more while we were having our dinner there. Like the guitars and equipments he was using, where they jam, and when is their next album coming out. It's early next year! Stay tuned! Don't buy pirated! Bad for health.

So, Eugene ciao-ed early. And we left soon after that. We did take some pictures after that.

jY and Hanafi

Amir and Hanafi (Student and Teacher)

Heck, I even got my guitar signed. =p

Hehehe.

Eugene! Sorry la! You ciao so early!!

The REAL Ending of Harry Potter

2007-08-15T15:57:00.000+08:00

Hahaha! I just found a video on a web and it's about what REALLY happened to Harry Potter.

Don't bother to read the book. You just need to know what happened to Harry in the ending.

This video shows how he tried to apply his magical skills in his life. It's really funny! Do watch it!

Harry Potter and the 'Mid Life Crisis'

"Penis Erectus!"
"Dickus Risus!"

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Do you think FAT is ugly?

2007-08-13T21:35:00.000+08:00

Many girls dream of being as thin as possible. And many girls who have been surveyed, 70% think that they're fat and want to work out, diet, etc etc.

Do you think FAT is ugly???

Oh well, check this out

Cover what?!! No boobs also!!!

Looks like some wild cats on the road

HOLY!!!

So still thinking of being thin?

Well, Think Again.

Congrats to Djokovic

2007-08-13T17:24:00.000+08:00

Congratulations to Serbian Novak “Nole” Djokovic for capturing the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

Novak Djokovic

He successfully prevented Roger Federer from capturing his 50th career title by topping the No.1 player in the world, 7-6(2), 2-6, 7-6(2) in the two hour and 12 minute final of the Rogers Cup. I must say it was a real nice match to watch as it was full of tension!

And he's only freaking 20 years old!

Throughout the tournament, Djokovic knocked off the third, second and first players in the world – Andy Roddick, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

World No.1(Federer)

It was also the first time in five meetings that the Serb defeated Federer, but it’s safe to say that Djokovic, who will jump to No.3 in the world on Monday, is a different player today than he was before. As Nadal says: “This is the future No.1 player in the world.”

World No.2(Nadal)

The 20-year-old right-hander from Serbia has jumped from 280th to third in the world in less than two years.

Well, this guy must really be watched...Hopefully he remains consistent like this.

Congrats again to him for winning the Rogers Cup!!!

Thank You!!! Thank You!!!

EPL Begins!!!

2007-08-11T21:17:00.000+08:00

After waiting for 3 months, the Barclays English Premier League is finally back again! This year, we have many major signings in the league and this spices up the game with different flavours from all over the world. =p

This includes Florent Malouda, Alex, Claudio Pizarro to Chelsea, Carlos Tevez, Nani, Anderson, Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United, Fernando Torres to Liverpool, Craig Gordon to Sunderland, Michael Chopra should also be watched!

Carlos Tevez

Of course I'll be looking forward to Man Utd defending their title. But Chelsea and Liverpool will be a threat to them.

Didn't mention Arsenal as I highly doubt they will be a competitor as Henry has left to Barcelona.

I pity him so much. I think he is gonna die of heart attack one day. Look at his pressured face.

Another team to be watched is Sunderland F.C. They're turning into a second Man Utd after Roy Keane became their manager. They would most probably end up in the top half of the table. Can't wait to see Man Utd against them.

Roy Keane (Future Man Utd manager)

VS

Sir Alex Ferguson( Current Man Utd manager)
Sob sob

Not only will it be exciting in the EPL, but also in Spain and Germany!!!

Eric Abidal, Superstar Thierry Henry will team-up with Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Eidur Gudjohnsen.

Barca GOD-LIKE team

Bayern Munich also recruited Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose, Frank Ribery. Arjen Robben is probably on his way to Real Madrid. Too bad Bayern won't be in the Champions League this season. Hmmmmm....Will it be a dream to start for Manchester United tomorrow against Reading. We'll see. =)

Naz's BBQ

2007-08-10T22:59:00.001+08:00

Nazmi decided to throw a BBQ party in his house. I was like kinda looking forward to it because I wanted to ~~sleep with some of his college chicks!~~ meet Naz and friends.

But apparently, "Somehow", all that turned up were guys. Aiyo, another 'GAY' gathering. But we did have fun ~~screwing around~~ talking about life and all. After all, I wanted to take a short break from studying Marketing. The BBQ turned up quite a disaster. Instead of preparing the fire, Ruben and Amir were more like making love with the fire.

Then it was Chef Aaron BBQ-ing the chicken.
We ended up eating Bakar-ed Chickens and Sausages. But it turned up tasting pretty good.

BBQ-ing Chicken

Chef Aaron Teh

How often do you see 'Kaka' BBQ-ing at Jalan Telawi?

Love making moments

Jana and I even discussed about doing another short film on Pirates of The Caribbean. Hopefully it will all work out. =)

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Credits to Loong Jin for helping me.

I ended up going back early at 11p.m. as I had stupid

ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Good luck jY!!! THANK YOU RIZUAN for Marketing Tips!!!

Celebrity Deathmatch (Axl Rose VS Slash)

2007-07-30T22:59:00.000+08:00

Any of you who are a Guns n' Roses fan, you guys must pretty much hate Axl Rose.

And now you get to see;

AXL ROSE
He still is the lead singer of GnR

VS

Slash!!!
A former GnR lead guitarist and now plays for
Velvet Revolver

These two will be fighting on a ring like WWE!!! =)

I will be supporting Slash! Duh!!!

Here goes;

It's funny to see their dialogue. All of them are related to their lyrics of their songs.
E.g;

"Remember how you needed a little patience, Axl?" was taken from the song 'Patience'

"You know where you are, Axl? You're in the jungle baby! You're gonna die!" from Welcome to The Jungle.

And Slash wins!!! Yay! Die Axl..although i do admire your voice a lot.

However, the GnR times were during the older days when both of them were together.

During that time, GnR was no doubt one of the best rock pop bands ever. They released songs like Sweet Child o' mine, November Rain, Patience, Knocking on Heavens Door, Don't Cry and many more.

Too bad, their former members aren't in GnR anymore. The only one left standing is Axl Rose. More stories will come when I do an individual post about GnR sometime in the future. Before that, I would like to leave videos of their hit songs here. Adioz!

November Rain my favourite! And Noelle's!!!

Don't Cry

Sweet Child o'Mine!!!!! Their biggest hit guaaa..

Patience..a good lullaby song.

Knocking On Heavens Door, one of their greatest song.

MALAYSIA TAK BOLEH!!!

2007-07-27T00:46:00.000+08:00

A few months back, the Manchester United tour to Malaysia was canceled due to the AFC Asian Cup which is being held now. Apparently if they were to continue to let Man Utd to come down to Malaysia, it will distract attention from the July 7-29 Asian Cup Finals.

Yeah right, who would watch Malaysian Football after a good trashing of 5-1 to China and another to Uzbekistan 5-0. Come on man.... Malaysia's football ranking has dropped all the way to the 154th place out of 199 teams. That's just pure disgrace and humilating to the nation.

Malaysia VS China

In the World Cup 2006, Trinidad and Tobago, with just 1.3 million people in the country (Dats like KL size alone!) managed to qualify into the group stage in the World Cup.

Us, Malaysia?? Well, with 22million people in the country, we could not even qualify into the qualifying round to qualify for the World Cup.

............

Sad to say, our country's ranking is still dropping day by day. Our country used to be feared in Asia during the 70's and 80's. Our team was capable of trashing Korea 4-0 at that time. Not only that, Malaysia even drew 1-1 with the England B team and beat giants Arsenal F.C 2-0 in 1975.

At that time, our squad was wonderful squad. Here is the list of the legends;
* Abdul Ghani Minhat
* Chow Chee Keong
* Dollah Salleh
* Hassan Sani
* K. Rajagopal
* Khan Hung Meng
* Lim Fung Kee
* Lim Teong Kim
* Mokhtar Dahari
* R. Arumugam
* Santokh Singh
* Sau Chi Keung
* Serbageth Singh
* Dato' Soh Chin Aun
* Syed Ahmad
* Kenny Ang
* Sau Chi Keung
* Wong Chun Wah
* Wong Kam Fook
* Zainal Abidin Hassan

AND NOW;

Well, either the Taukes and Ah-nehs are playing real bad football OR....I'll just leave it to you guys to figure out.

Another thing is, we have a stupid coach. His name is Norizan Bakar. He should be Bakar-ed(fired) right now.

Norizan Bakar

These were the few statements he said after Malaysia's trashing to China and Uzbekistan;
"I just told the players it's part and parcel of football. We have to face it and maybe it will make us stronger." (Niama, what stronger? Ur stronger means you will someday lose to some Timor-Leste team izit?)

He admitted Malaysia had no hope of beating Iran, the triple champions who are seeking a hatful of goals to guarantee top spot in Group C.
"We have to be realistic -- we can't win against Iran but we have to make sure that they don't score too many goals."
(KNNCBB, which coach would say like that to your own team la? Even if u know gonna lose, just say you gonna win and boost the morale of your players!!! Instead of telling them; "You all are gonna lose, just go home")

Maybe I should be the coach of the Malaysian football team. =)

Jie Mourinho

DISCLAIMER: I would like to apologize if I did offend anyone in this post. This post is just intended to critize our Malaysian Football as our football performance in the country is getting worse.

BOMB Threat in HELP

2007-07-18T21:24:00.000+08:00

Business assignment was due today at 3:30p.m. And yet, we haven't even printed our assignment when it was less than an hour to our presentation and proposal to be handed in. We were rushing to do our proposal in the computer lab when suddenly the alarm in HELP rang. A guy came to our lab and shouted; "FIRE DRILL!!".

I thought; "What the heck?! Yesterday already got, today oso meh?"

So, we were pissed because we had not much time left to do our work. The fire drill yesterday ended only in 15 minutes. But this one, the hell..we have been waiting for like almost 20 minutes. When I got outside, the crowd was everywhere, all the cars evacuating the car park, and even police cars with sirens coming in.

Wah liao, what's going on la? Apparently, someone called and said they had a bomb planted in HELP. .....

Then, Ruben called me and asked me for lunch at KFC. Hahaha! What a timing man! Joined him for about 20 minutes and was thinking, "What if the bomb exploded now?? Ruben would die together with his favourite chicken and I would die together with Ruben and his chicken." What a ~~gay~~ tragic death..

The death of HELP

The funny part was when Yurkdes from WISMA called Vishahan and asked;

Yurkdes: Eh, u still alive ar? I heard HELP got bomb all

AIYO, it was only 1 hour plus that we could go back in to HELP. The bomb threat was a fake. ~~How nice if HELP really exploded.~~ By that time, it was already 4p.m. and we're screwed. We only managed to finish our assignment at 5p.m. and Jeremy got a nice lecture from Mr.Gobi. Screw the bomb threat for making us not finish our work, but itz partly our fault. Last minute work...

No pictures though, if only I brought my camera to take pics of the Polis Malaysia.

Mr.Chan

2007-07-15T13:05:00.000+08:00

Aiyooo...Chan is just an ordinary 21 year old, naive guy like me whom I met last week after knocking into his back car bumper. I had a previous post on this topic before.

So, I had to meet him in front of McDonald Bangsar to "solve" the problem. My parents were there, his parents and siblings were there..Aiyo, big issue laaa..Diuuu...

Here is the picture of stupid Chan

No picture la of coz! U expect me to take picture of he and his family posing with his dented car ar?! KNNCCB!!

If therez a stupid guy, there must be a smart person rite? Of course itz me la! I damn smart to bang his car whattt....

Yeah yeah, I look damn gay here...laugh all you want...

So my parents had to chip in RM 350 thanks to my ham chat mistake and then gave me extra driving lessons by letting me drive around Damansara...

The accident was so minor and yet they ask for so much...Really typical Chinaman mentality la...
What?! You don't believe? Here's a picture of my Wira which knocked into his Honda Jazz.

Diu laa..Scratch oni la my car..Why his car so ciplak wan? Must be bought from Petaling Street.

Sigh, I'm grounded from my car for the next 2 weeks.. =(

Yum-Cha!!

2007-07-15T02:33:00.000+08:00

I couldn't make it to the business sleepover meeting in Mahdi's house. Was so busy doing my assignments and receiving phone calls from ham 7 Alex when suddenly Mahdi called at 1a.m. and ajak-ed for yum-cha.

Mahdi : Eh, come letz go yum-cha! (Jeff howling at the back of his car)
jY : Gila ar?! At this hour? You all selamba only...Wat kind of business project you all doing la?
Mahdi : We in front your house edi laaa.. Come out first and tok!
jY : Ham 7 laa...okay okay...

Outside my house,
jY : Eh, u all come back later oni laaa..Wait for my mum to sleep first!
Jeff : Ok ok! We go bang some ladies first and come back at 2a.m.

So, I went back to my room and waited for mum to sleep..and joined them after about 20 minutes. And Jeff started telling his stories about how he met the Rempit earlier and running away from them. Juan was damn emo ~~as usual~~ coz he was sick. Mahdi semangat makan Nasi Banana Daun. That explains his tummy!

Jeff puffing out his smoke

When it comes to cameras, Juan turns healthy..

Got to drive back Mahdi's City back. =) When I got back home, I heard footsteps upstairs and I knew my mum was going to my room to check on me. I thought "Kantoi la liddat". Then I realized I didn't change my clothes when I went out, so when my mum came down to look for me, she asked;"Why you still haven't sleep? Already 2:30a.m."

The first thing came to my mind and I said; "Pang-sai laa"(Shitting laa)

Harry Potter is GAY

2007-07-15T02:22:00.000+08:00

Went out to watch Harry Potter with Sonak and her friend Anne. The 4 indian fellas were there too(Ruben, Jana, Vishahan and jY). Harry Potter is so gay..I wonder who will actually say that the movie is nice to watch. He tries to act so cool in the movie. But you gotta accept the fact, that he's GAY!
Another girl who casted in the movie also reminded me of Paris Hilton. Haha!

She reminds me of Paris Hilton....somehoww..

Human Tetris

2007-07-13T21:24:00.000+08:00

Okay, I'm sure many of you have played the game Tetris. This is a picture to remind you of the classic game by the Japanese.

Many people hardly play it now as games now have becomed more interesting and challenging. So, the kiasu Japanese don't wanna lose out and they re-invented their game.

This is what happens if you combine humans with Tetris.

Don't miss out the part where the guy jumps and hits his cock and started jumping around.

"Never play ~~Testis~~Tetris, or u will hurt your penis."

A Tribute to Wong Ka Kui and Beyond

2007-07-13T00:08:00.000+08:00

I thought of a few people to do the 'tribute' thing. Kurt Cobain, Axl Rose, Slash, Wong Ka Kui, Freddie Mercury and John Lennon. Most of them were cut out of my list because they had something to do with drugs except this guy, Wong Ka Kui. He's very inspirational and an example to many people.

Yeah yeah, you guys might think I'm very "Chinese"(lala) or my type of song is very lao-beh type.

But, this guy and his band can really make a song and bring inspiration to people.

Wong Ka Kui

Wong Ka Kui was a Hong Kong born composer, songwriter and singer. He was lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and the founding member of the Hong Kong rock band, Beyond. He composed more than 90 percent of the songs for the band and quite a few award-winning lyrics. Ka-Kui is remembered for his unique and powerful voice that was able to convey a number of emotions, making him the heart and soul of Beyond.

Beyond

Beyond is probably one of the best Chinese band of the decade not only because of their skill, but because of the massive variety of their style. They have a few styles of music including rock, love ballad, and pop-rock. Somehow they do remind me a little of the Chinese-version of Guns n' Roses. Weird eh? Haha! Wong Ka Kui is the most beautiful singer in the world - his voice is steady, rhythmical and emotional. Even though I don't really understand Cantonese(only Mandarin!), his voice spoke straight to my heart.

Paul Wong, Yip Sai Wing, Wong Ka Keung and Wong Ka Kui (clockwise from top left)

Wong Ka Kui grew up in a small, middle class family and he wasn't doing so well in in studies. However, Ka Kui had a deep passion for music.

He began playing guitar when he was 17 year old. At first it was only a
hobby, but then he joined an amateur band, playing rhythm guitar. Once, the
lead guitarist had harsh critisim on Ka Kui, claiming that his guitar
playing skill was too horrible, and that he would never amount to anything
in life. This attack fired up Ka Kui's persistence nature. He sworn to
practice hard, and made his immediate goal to be able to play better than
the lead guitarist.

Ka Kui's dream finally came true. While working, he also jammed with friends
in a band. In 1983, Ka Kui and Sai Wing, along with other friends, formed a
band and entered the guiatr competition sponsored by the Guitar Magazine.
They eventually won the "Best Band" award, and thus began the name of Beyond
in the music scene. For 10 years, with voices of approvals and disapprovals,
Beyond remained as they were, proving their persistence and strength in
surviving.

Among the few great songs that they have produced are:
海闊天空(Hai Kuo Tian Kong)
光輝歲月(Guang Hui Sui Yue)
情人(Qing Ren)
真的愛你(Zhen De Ai Ni)
Amani

Their biggest hit is of course their 海闊天空(Hai Kuo Tian Kong).

On June 23, 1993,
Beyond went to Japan to promote their songs there.
Beyond went to Fuji TV studio in Tokyo.
The filming of "Ucchan-nanchan no yarunara yaraneba" started.

"Ucchan-nanchan" is one of the famous Japanese comedian group; Uchimura and Nanbara are the members. They are still popular in Japan.

June 24, 1993
At 1:00a.m., Ka Kui and Uchimura fell down from a set which height was 2.7m(8.9feet).
The moment of the accident, Ka Kui and Uchimura slipped and leaned on the plywood, but it couldn't support them.

Flooring on the studio is very solid. Ka Kui was hit on his head and went into a coma, and was carried to a hospital.

On June 30 1993, Wong Ka Kui, the genius of rock'n'roll from Hong Kong, passed away in Tokyo at 4:15p.m.(JST) without coming to his senses. He was only 31 years old.

His family and Beyond stayed by Ka Kui while he was in coma till his death.

Since then, Beyond almost disbanded and were having a hard time trying to live without him. This is a video performed by Beyond in 1996 with their 海闊天空(Hai Kuo Tian Kong). His brother, Wong Ka Keung has taken over as the lead singer and was very emotional in this performance. Sighhhhh...I myself too will reduce to tears watching their emotion and music.

It's been 14 years now since Ka Kui has left us. However, his spirit and music will remain with us forever.

R.I.P Wong Ka Kui

SCREWED on the spottt...

2007-07-10T23:14:00.000+08:00

A few days ago, Mr.Gobi(my Marketing lecturer) posted up all the students' marks on the board. So, Alex and I went to check up our Marketing Mid-Term marks. Everyone had gotten like about 11 - 14, the average score is probably like 12 out of 20. There were no names on the board, only our IDs' and our marks. So, we were skimming through the list, and suddenly there was one with like 18 marks. The next highest score was only like 14. I then told to Alex, "Who on EARTH SHIT is that?". Alex replied, "Probably some freak nerd". Then a female voice from behind was heard, "OH, DO YOU MEAN ME??"

SCREWED

Ok, I'll just end it at there......

Transformers Funny!

2007-07-09T22:03:00.000+08:00

I recently found a video in YouTube. Transformers Cosplay in Japan! It's really funny. You should take a look. Won't be able to blog for the mean while as I'm having 2 test and another 2 assignments to be done by this week. Anyway, enjoy the video!

Tranformers, more than used to die? Hahaha!

Still haven't watch it though. Heard many ratings 5/5 from friends. Will watch it this weekend with Sonak and friends. =)

My First Accident!!!

2007-07-08T00:44:00.000+08:00

Okay, my first accident. What a title to start with. Haha.

Earlier of the day, 5p.m.
Went to fetch Loong Jin and Yi Zhen from Loong Jin's house. Those two were my classmates in Std. 6. The last time I saw Loong Jin was last year, but Yi Zhen, 6 years!! My my, I couldn't even recognize her face now. Haha! She was off to Kelantan and didn't see her during the period. Went on to fetch Amir and Ruben, and off we went to Mid Valley to catch 'Die Hard 4.0' with my other friends. 16 of us this time. Shantini just came back from Australia, so I just wanted to see her before she leaves to Australia the next day. Even Aruna, Ramizah, Su Yi, Lisa were present. The other girls had watched the movie, so they were not there to join us.. Oh well, Die Hard 4 was so so. John McClaine(Bruce Willis) was invincible. He just won't die although guns, bombs, choppers, the F-35(jetplane), tried to attack him. It was turning into a cartoon. Ahhh.., I'll just give it a 3/5 rating.

Friday, 10:40p.m.
Yeah yeah, back to the main story. I was driving down to the exit point in zone G parking. And so, there was a long queue when we were going out. As Amir and I was preparing the cash to exit, suddenly there was a boom! noise and I saw my car hitting a Honda Jazz right in front. Crap! I left the car gear at D and forgot to change it back to N. This is so freaking DUMB. A similar incident happened during my driving test as well. What the hell?! Thank god, it was not some 'apek' driving a S-Class Mercedes. I'll be dead soon if it was. The guy stalled his car at the corner and we got out to 'settle' the problem. To my surprise, that guy was actually really nice. He and his girlfriend were smiling at me when they got out. I apologized to them and told them that I'll pay for the cost to fix the small dent on the car. I'm guessing RM50 would do? My car had no problem though. Sighhh...What a day..Jokers.

The Different Night World

2007-07-05T23:57:00.001+08:00

Today, my friend, Krishna studying in Australia wanted to meet up. He was back in KL. So, Krishna,Ruben,Jeff,Jana,Amir and myself met up in Fish and Co. for yum-cha.

Krish showing off his PDA

I had a real tough time trying to convince my parents to let me go out. They were worried of me coming back home late and all. But, all these while my parents were really sporting. They used to allow me to come back home anytime I want including at 4a.m. one time, when I was much younger that time. Now, my curfew is like set to 10:30p.m.! The heck?! My parents told me that crimes at night now were increasing. After 12a.m., the outside world belongs to the 'devils'(Rempits,robbers,etc). Many incidents of snatch thieves or car tailing is getting more common right now. Many of relatives and my friends' parents have experienced it, where they were robbed right in the middle of the road while jogging. It's bad enough being robbed, those bastards even slash you and all. Bastards. To solve this problem, Bangsar did set up a road block/police check in Jalan Telawi. However, these police are also real bastards who are corrupted. Our corruption rate in this country is one of the highest in the world. And unless the government don't do something about it, U.S will cut down all trades with us. Seriously, What on EARTH is wrong with the government??!! This country is full of corruption, corruption and corruption. How long are we going to live with this?

jY being political eh?

Oh well, I better just stop here before I go overboard. I don't wanna see myself ended up being prisoned. Might as well just Shut Up! See, that's the thing..everyone's a coward and do not dare to speak up. I'm one myself. We'll see who's the brave macho. Gotta go. Adioz.

Trolak Camp - Day 3

2007-07-05T18:11:00.000+08:00

Sunday, 9:30p.m.
Skipped breakfast so we could have a wonderful slumber land. Rushed to the hall for the last 2 activities. First we had to do chart/mind-map on what are the values that makes a good leader. Next, we had to tell each member about what we feel towards them. Nothing much for the last day. We got lost though on the process of finding the bus. Jokers. Got back to KL by 3:30p.m. Last few pictures.

Trolak Camp - Day 2

2007-07-04T17:41:00.001+08:00

Saturday, 6:15a.m.
Sam came knocking into everyone's room. Aduhmak...why can't he just use the phone? Crack fellow. He went to every door and shouted "Wake Up! Wake Up!". We were supposed to be gathering at ground floor for our morning exercise. Everyone had to do their individual run for 1 km. Vishahan the hero ran and got first with the timing of 3:51!! Jacky and Terence then followed by. I was slow. Took like 4:55, 1 minute more! Oh well, at least I did qualify. Don't have the grandmother or great grandmother term. Next was the team run, team 'Move It' recorded a time of 11:01 for this.

Saturday, 8a.m.
After breakfast, we headed to the jungle. "Welcome To The Jungle, We've got fun and games!"(by Guns n Roses) was playing on my head when we were on our way there. This time, they have the low ropes and high ropes. The low ropes consist of many obstacle courses. Eg. Walking on a plank, climbing onto tyres and nets, balancing yourself on ropes and etc. We were also given a question to be solved and the winner gets a so-called mystery gift. Kheng Wei the smart ass figured out the answer and our team won it.

Next we had the sky-walk and flying fox. Hahaha! It's been quite a while since I last went on a flying fox. This is the only reason why I posted on the Trolak trip. Everyone has been asking for the pictures. Oh well, I'll be posting the pics here.

Saturday, 2:15p.m.
Lunch sucked. We went to some playground after that. There, we had to do our 'Eclipse' where we were blindfolded and have to walk from stations to stations. I must say, that was a REALLY FUN activity. The guides and instructors also video-cammed our movements and made a movie on it. Too bad we couldn't get our hands on it. After 'Eclipse', students were given 'free time' and could do anything they wanted. So this was our time for football! Nicholas Ho, Nicholas Lim, Sam, Henry Chuah, Jacky, Terence, one more(sorry!) and I played. Score came to 4-4 before everyone ciao.

Saturday, 8p.m.
Right after dinner, we had to do our skit. Team 'Move It' was pretty screwed up as we didn't even bother preparing our 'drama'. We attempted to discuss in the morning but it ended up that we were only gonna dance and fight, typical Tamil movie. We were supposed to use Bollywood as a theme and link communication skill to our skit. So our storyline was really stupid. Ben(hero) and Jeremy(pondan lady) were couples until one day Ben decided to dump Jeremy because of his/her big boobs. Jeremy was very sad and walked into the forest with his/her friends, Tiffany and Kheng Wei. Then, came the bad guys, Sam and jY. We kidnapped Jeremy leaving Tiffany and Kheng wei behind. Tiffany then showed our communication skill by shouting: "Let's communicate with Ben by telling him that Jeremy is in danger. Yeap, that's how we showed our communication skill. Hahahaha! So came the HERO and bashed me and Sam up. Ben and Jeremy fell in love again. The story ended with Ben and Jeremy dancing around the tree(Michele). Team 'Tinkerbell' won the best play award, while Ben and Jem won the best couples award.

Gambled gambled and gambled. How do you play 'Blackjack' with 18 people in a room. Don was king banker and made lots of money. End of Day 2.

Trolak Camp - Day 1

2007-07-02T21:36:00.000+08:00

Friday, 1:30p.m.
Received call from Henry Chuah reminding me to bring the football. We gathered later in the lower foyer and were divided into 2 groups. We left for Trolak at 3:30p.m. and arrived there at about 5:30p.m. Mr. Daniel, was our guide and decides who gets to sleep with who. So my roommates were Vishahan and Timothy. Mr.Daniel then brought us to a room where we were then introduced to our training instructor, Terence and Alex. That Terence guy is really hilarious and sporting. Students were again separated into 5 groups, and from there, team 'Move It' was formed. It consisted of Jeremy, Ben, Tiffany, Kheng Wei, Michele, Sam and I. The other teams were Same same, Tinkerbell, Awesome Totally, and Salsa da Vistar.

Our rooms

Friday, 8p.m.
After dinner, we were brought into the jungle for our nightwalk and solo-drop. No cameras allowed. It seems you don't wanna take a picture with 'something' in it. Oh well, first we had our Solo-Drop. The guides were throwing stones towards us to scare us. It lasted for about 20 minutes before they take us for our nightwalk. For the nightwalk, we were required to walk individually in the jungle while holding a string to follow the correct path. After that, we returned to back to the resort and had supper. Mr. Daniel praised us for our courage after that and was happy that everything worked well. Teams were next asked to design a poster and show others their war cry. Jeremy with his unique brain came out with our team's mambo no.7. By 11:30p.m, everyone was asked to leave except team leaders. So, Terence(student), Ahmad, Henry Chuah, Mahdi and I was forced to stay back. Mr. Daniel gave us team assignment to do a skit. Team 'Move It' had to do a skit with a theme of Bollywood and show leadership quality of 'communication'. How are supposed to do it?? Tamil movies only had songs and Bam! Bang! Bish! effects(fighting effects). Or perhaps we could dance like Shahrukh khan???

When I got back to my room, we played cards and we recorded a video of us attempting to open the toilet door when Vishahan is bathing. HAHA! Gayness.

Apple iPhone

2007-07-02T16:01:00.000+08:00

Apple has just come up with a new product.

Introducing the iPhone!

This phone is very unique and it's features will differentiate itself from all the other leading phone brands like Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

Here is the iPhone tech specs;
* Height: 4.5 inches (115 mm)
* Width: 2.4 inches (61 mm)
* Depth: 0.46 inch (11.6 mm)
* Weight: 4.8 ounces (135 grams)

It also has a capacity of a 4GB (US 499) and a 8GB (US 599) memory.
The screen is 3.5 inch(diagonal) and it's widescreen with a multi-touch display. This means no buttons!! The iPhone comes with a 2 megapixel camera. Just enough for you cam whores! It supports WiFi and has bluetooth connection. You can just sit at Starbucks and surf the net with the iPhone. I read some of the reviews at cNet and here is the summary of it.

The Good: The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface. Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps. As an iPod, it shines.

The Bad: he Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility. Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content.

The bottom line: Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player.

I find its touch screen feature very interesting and this technology is like a few years in advance. What a product by Apple! So, if u wanna type a message, u basically touch the screen with its keyboard layout.

QWERTY keyboard layout

This iPhone is also a new revolution for the iPod with its new touch screen feature. It functions just like the previous iPod Gen 5.5 but this comes with a much wider screen and u don't have to use the scroll wheel. Cool ain't it?!

The new iPod

Okay, this is my first review in this blog. Not a very good one. I'll include a video review too by cNet. Enjoy!

Tioman Trip - Day 3

2007-06-27T21:06:00.000+08:00

Monday, 7a.m.
I didn't sleep through soundly. Didn't join the gang for breakfast because of the condition of my stomach. =p Oh well, nothing much today. Just wanted to end our Day 3. We checked out the chalet by 9a.m. and took the speedboat at 10a.m. We realized we didn't even take a picture of all of us for the 3 days. So we could only managed to take it at the jetty. The bus left at 12:30 p.m. but the damn bus driver kept stopping for pee break. At least 6-7 times! Shameer got pissed and said : 'Fuck his bladder la!' . Hahahaha! That was a good one.

Tioman Trip - Day 2

2007-06-26T23:54:00.000+08:00

Logging in through : DELL PC

Sunday, 10a.m.
10 hours sleep was more than enough for me, Jana, Ruben, Ong, Amir and Naz. Eugene and Shameer didn't want to join us for breakfast. Having fun in their slumber land. Well, the 6 of us went out of the Berjaya Resort to find some cheap food outside. There were 2 stalls right outside Berjaya. The one on the right had no more nasi lemak and the one on the left had only noodles. Noodles for breakfast..Nahh.. So we took a van and paid the guy RM20 to bring us to a place where we could eat breakfast. He brought us to some Chinese Kopitiam stall where we got our 'American Breakfast' for RM15. After eating, we went to the Duty-Free shop.

Tioman River?

Sunday, 12p.m.
We got back to our chalet and had a quick bath and got ready for snorkeling. (actually more like waiting for Eugene and Shameer to wake up) Those buggers were still sleeping like pigs. Naz had gone out all alone to relax in the beach ~~probably with some bitches.~~
Shameer didn't want to follow as his leg was still sprained. So off we went to some place(forgot the place) for snorkeling. We were not allowed to bring our cameras so we missed the chance to take pictures of the corals and the fishes.

Sunday, 3p.m.
The speedboat arrived and brought us to the snorkeling platform. When we got down into the sea, WOW! We could see so many fish and corals. What a view! Ruben-the-captain was so 'semangat' and wanted to go around the island nearby the platform. So, we followed. After 5 mins of swimming through the waves, we got to like 40% of our journey. We thought we were heroes as we took only such a short time to arrive such a distance. After that, we were quite deep in the sea and started to worry. We decided to swim back to the platform before it gets more dangerous. But after swimming for like 20 minutes, we only swam like a 100m???!!! We then realized that all the while we were swimming with the current's help. Now we're going against the current. Amir started to panic and I was dead exhausted. We tried to blow our whistle and shouted for the nearest boat to send us back to the platform. Thank God the boat guy saw us and helped us. We could probably ended up somewhere if the current was stronger.

The island we tried to swim around

Sunday, 5p.m.
We ate lunch. Yeah, burger again. Sat by the poolside and decided to swim in the pool 1 hour later. No signs of yesterday's chick. Ong showed more of his swimming styles to the people nearby. He did his 'hip-hop' in the water and all. Haha! After swimming, we played Chor-Tai-Ti while enjoying the breathtaking sunset. More of Chor-Tai-Ti in the room later.

Sunday, 8p.m.

We went for dinner in some Seafood Restaurant. I regretted for not washing my hands while eating the Sweet and sour Crab. After dinner, back to playing in the games room with more of ping pong,pool,darts and daytona. Eugene and Ruben tried to 'kao' some old woman while playing ping pong. Got back to our chalet by 12a.m.

Eugene and Ruben 'kao' lui

Monday, 12a.m.
Went to bed. Had sleepless night as my stomach was aching badly. Probably due to unhygienic eating habits. Oh welll.....End of Day Two. Last day tomorrow!
