Gong Xi Fa C.h.a.i.

Hello everyone, before saying anything else, just wanna take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous Chinese New Year!!! Gong Xi, Gong Xi.

I am now blogging not from the comfort of my room as my phone line (cable) decided to give up on me one the eve of eve of CNY. *angered* And the shops are closed!!! I should consider getting wireless...

New Year Eve
This is one of the most dreadful days before CNY. Why? Its because of all the...

cOOking - this activity alone takes the whole freaking day and squeezes out every single drop of sweat out of your body!!! The cleaning up is dreadful as well. From next year onwards, will resort to doing steamboat everytime!!! muahahah!
cLeaNiNg - *faints* possibly will be cleaning every single speck of dust existing in the house as for the next 2 days, cleaning is prohibited *relieved*.
wasHiNg - today, the quantity of 'items' to be washed can be accumulated to a month of dinner utensils. *double faints*

I shall stop here as CNY is a time for celebration, and not complaining... *laughs*

CNY - day 1
Rude awakening due to endless.................sssss...............ssss....ss.s...... stream of fireworks.
However, driving towards my grandma's house, seems like the culture of 'balik kampung' is not really there anymore, even though there's a long shot of holidays ahead. Why do I have this particular type of thinking??? Because I was stuck in a jam!!! Even though its a short one, I really could not believe it, why is there so many vehicles during new year, you guys should have headed/ be heading home!!! I should have the lexury of driving comfortably and smoothly back home!!!

b.u.t. then...

I enjoy driving, I really do! I mean, what beats travelling around, enjoying the scenery (given there is any) breezing pass, having the car in your control whether to move ahead or to cruise along. Ahhhh, what better than having everything in your control and enjoying every minute of it.
But, that then, the paragraph denotes is applicable if and only if you're driving out of KL in locations WITHOUT traffic congestion!!! I fcuking hate driving in KL (minus holiday seasons)!!! I mean, even if an individual (moi for example) leaves the office at 8 something, still there's very bad congestion. Seriously, I dunno what's wrong?!?!? 8 plus at night, after all the initial private sector jam, government jam, school jam, everybody rush home for dinner jam... maybe I should name it as "Those who leave office late to avoid jam punya jam". Good name huh?
Sometimes, you just have no freaking idea what's wrong. One minute you're going on 20km/h, next thing you know, you're over the speed limit you're driving on par with the speed limit.
At times, in bad congestion, very bad... as though it is not bad enough, some featherbrains just have to make hell out of living for you (and all the other law abiding, handsomes and pretties citizen!!! Some of these idiots' contributions are:

1. Cutting Queues...
These are faggots that never learn the fact that in Malaysia, you have to QUEUE for EVERYTHING!!! Includes paying the government money, paying the government money and paying the government money!!! Pratically, the same concept applies when an individual is driving. When there's a traffic light, you queue BEHIND the car in front of you who is also waiting, not BESIDE, DIMWIT! Hey, everyone's rushing. I'm rushing home to watch Baywatch, how bout you???

Suggested Solution:
Install extendable sharp object on the left and right side of your vehicle. Once these non-queuers show up, upon activation, these sharp objects will extend and punture their vehicle tyres.
Possible outcome:
Illegal racers adds some excitement to their competition.

2. Emergency Lanes Abusers...
Classic get out of the jam quickly Arses. Anytime, anywhere you will be seeing these donkeys, using these lanes to supposingly escape the jam and causing more congestion. Usually, upon being caught, the standard lame answer would be :: "I'm rushing lar, got emergency because _______________ (fill in the blank). Omg, as if others are so free to get themselves stuck in the congestion. Hello?!?!? Are you still sleeping???
I just love it when I see drivers getting summonses for abusing these lanes. Nothing will make my morning better (Deem me evil, I dun care...muahahahahaha).

Suggested Solution:
Install extendable sharpnel strips that punctures all the cars abusing the lane; exception for emergency vehicles.
Possible outcome:
Booming business of tyre shops and mechanics and car towing services.

3. VIPs coming through...
I do not understand, why must they halt the whole traffic flow so that they can go faster? I am a Malaysian, he/she is a Malaysian. I pay tax, he/she pays tax as well. So, why the special treatment? If there are delegates from other countries for international events, understandable lar... but local ministers only mah. Jam with us lar, mebbe along the way, they can discuss rakyat issues with other drivers, which in turn benefits the government as they understand us better? Rakyat will know their leaders better too! Its a two-way benefit!

Suggested Solution:
Everyone should jam together, no VIP treatment.
Possible Outcome:
Making a better country together in the spirit of Malaysia Boleh!!! Kan Bagus???

4. And the worst of all will be :: Accident onlookers who are driving. I mean, drive, at most take a glance and move!!! Hey, if you're not planning to help, what the fuck are you slowing down for??? Taking a look at the misery of other people? Trying to get the plate number so that you can fucking buy 4D numbers?!?! Hey, slowing down impromptuly to get the number might end up getting yourself in the spotlight as well (as everyone is looking at the accident scene, who's looking front??? nyahaha).

Suggested Solution:
Use the mobile dividers (similar to some hospital which uses it to divide the beds) and surround the accident scene, so there will be 'nothing' to see...
Possible Outcome:
Nothing to see lar!!!

So, any other comments and suggestions?

Points to ponder :: Do you realize that when taking a lift, most individuals tend to stare at the level indicator (the mechanism that indicates which level you are currently in) the whole journey up/down? If you station yourself at the opposite corner of the indicator, and take a good look at everyone, it looks as though they are waiting for some miracle to happen. If indeed something happens, I reckon everyone will go 'wwwaaaaahhhhhhh....' 0_o"

m.i.s.s.i.n.g. ???

omGawd, I have not been blogging for the past few days! Looks as though I am the 'sun c hang'type of person (translation: erm, people that starts doing something but lacks the initiative to maintain it). Lookie, I explained a chinese proverb/saying; not so banana now eh? hyuk hyuk hyuk... Back to the topic, I deserve some spanking lecturing...

One of the main thing that kept me occupied (other than mmy endless flow of work, of course) will be ... Need For Speed: Most Wanted!!! Nyah haha! Was totally glued to it, freaking superb! Although the gameplay seems to have deteoritated, compared to Underground Series, storyline is fab while the graphics are absolutely [replace this with a word that represents extremely, fantabulously, out-of-the-worldly, realistically superb]! However, it does require some investment [$$$ - ka-ching] in terms of graphics and sound in order to fully maximize the gaming experience (no lar, I am not hao-lianing). Mine? Non-optiized yet, sigh~

Well, well, well, less than a week till the New Year (Chinese); good news is that, I get a week off! Woo Hoo! And I work in Selangor! Double Woo Hoo! To usher the new year, I decided do some highlight to my hair, just for the ong! The result? Looks kinda patchy though, :P. Decided to place pictures of Prosperity Burger (only sold once in a year during CNY in Malaysia) to usher the spirit of CNY celebration!!! yay!


Prosperity Burger...


McChicken Biasa...


McD Curly Fries, comes once in a year...

gone b.o.n.k.e.r.s.

Nope, its not me. I am as healthy and energetic as any young men would be. Its my mobile (sounds of thunder, heavy rain and strong wind gushing around madly). It has turned against me after servicing me for close to 2 years; somehow I currently feel like there's some shocked individual out there gasp-ing loudly...
It is as though mobile (thus from this moment onwards, it shall be known as mobile) has gotten itself a new hobby, which is shutting down. At first, I thought it was merely battery problem but nowadays, even when the battery is full, it shuts down.

scenario 1:
macho me: yakitty yak yak (on mobile)
abcde: nayk nyok nyek (on the other side)
macho me: yak yak ... nan-da-yo?
*mobile shuts down...

scenario 2:
tik tak tik tak tik tak... sms 4 ... tak tak
macho me: nan-da-yo?
*mobile shuts down...

scenario 3:
pang pang, jiung jiung... (play game lor), boss level, forgot to save game...
macho me: abc fish crab curry dog cat wok #
*phone shuts down

Its kinda bad especially when you're on an important call, gives a really bad impression. so, anyone out there wanna sponsor me a new phone?

* * * *** * * *

Ex-housemate of mine sent me a link to an online game site; The Ultimate Businessman (yeap, sounds gay). Erm, a text and turn based game where you strive to be the bestest among the bestest. The best thing in this game is you can force bankruptcy onto other players (yeah baby); and so can they (oh no baby). So, if your good, your wealth goes up to gazzilions... hey, makes you feel good doesn't it?

Interested? please click here
Not interested? please click here

# in case you're wondering what this is, its my way of polite cursing...

really? s.o. h.o.w.?.

Was on my way for jogging with munyee (yes, I exercise so please close your widely streched opened jaw and continue terrorizing reading) and she asked me:

munyee: Feeling some difficulties sitting in my car? (she's driving a kelisa btw)
me: Erm, not really, why this question?
munyee: Cos I see you kinda like struggling with your socks...
me: Still ok lar...
munyee: How do you feel ah, being quite big sized? I mean sometimes I see you walking, have to dodge around?
me: Oi, look in front, got car coming... aaaahahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

(*added the last part to spice up my blog, hahaha)
addtional info: munyee is cute, so I gave her pink for her dialogue

Well, what she mentioned actually got me thinking a bit. How do I feel being fat big in size, which applies every part of my body *ahem*... For those who have not any idea about me, I stood at about 1.84m, weights a freaking 86kg and flattens everything in front of me(further questions will not be entertained). To some, it might just be normal, ideal or optimum but for me, it does cause some fcuking problems hiccups.

Take for example, public transportation, buses for instance. The reason tall ones dislike the rear area of the bus is because it is elevated (which I suppose the engine is located there). Along with you-know-how-bus-drivers-in-KL-navigate, try to imagine someone whacking your head repeatedly. At least you can shout profanities at the person whacking you, but if you literally fuck curse the bus, next thing you know, you might be staring at 4 white walls in Tanjung Rambutan (Tanjung Rambutan = asylum for mentally disturbed individuals).

Imagine master yoda in the bus:
master yoda: Angry, you must not be, child. Dark side, it will lead you too...
super jed-i: Master, you are so small, you will not...
master yoda: Silence! you must! Mention that I am short, you must not.
super jed-i: But you are shhh....
master yoda: Angry I am now. *draws lightsabre, jumped on chair...
*bus driver swerves right...
master yoda: aaahhhh!!! *crashes out of window...
super jed-i: mmmmaaassssstttteeeerrrrrr.....

Another supposed to be helpful item in the bus will be the handles, supports, whatever... which will usually be at proportional to my face. Unless I or others hold on to them, it'll proceed to vent its anger on me. One may curse it silently, but be reminded that any form of negative noise directed at this non-living thing might result you in Tanjung Rambutan.
Or be like me, pen down all your disatisfaction, and creatively shout your blog address out at whatever nuisance directed at you. This way, people get to know about it and indirectly increases your visitors.


Blast em all, blast em all... muahahhaa, more space... mmmooooorrreeeee....

Next, buildings. Low ceiling buildings, bad. Low ceiling buildings with decorations, worst. I practically have to dodge everywhere I walk, which occasionally reminds me of bullets dodging scenes in Matrix. Maybe I should imitate those moves, on second thought, maybe not. Walking in complexes nowadays, one may realize that there's a growing trend of placing stalls wherever possible (also signs showing owners reaping more and more money). Being not particularly high, I once knocked on one of these things before and maaaannnnn... it yanks the brain out of me... As if not embarassing enough, the decorations have to fall off... *speechless*

And finally, the errand boy. I dunno what's with it but I seem to get all the chores; its not like I mind doing them, but sometimes it justs comes at the wrong place at the wrong time. On the bright side, maybe I look dependable (Yeah right!).

Albeit all the disasters mentioned above, I'm happy with myself (physically and mentally). I am lucky to be born healthy and complete. I am also grateful to be born into a caring and lovely family, being raised and exposed healthily, and experiencing life fully.

The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.
-Aristotle


Happy and contented...

So, all in all, I gave her one final answer:
"Why should I pity myself when I can pity everyone else"... muhahahahahaha
Well, by this time, I have finished struggling with my socks...

Saturday night's out was spent with a close bunch of my secondary pals, for a meal and unplanned after meal activity. smashpOp was there as well (mentioned because he's a blogger, not because I have some special relations with him and no other particular, funny, irrelavent reasons as well...). Somehow, photographing seems to be banned on this outing, so, no pictures lor... :(
