Year: 2005 (Page 3 of 10)

Just when I thought that I have all the problems in the world and
resent everything for lacking some things in life, being in the
company of a very special crowd last night made me realize that I
have so much more to be thankful for at this point in time.

And if there’s another thing that I can take away from last
night, it’s never make a U-turn (or as Audi/Batdude eloquently
puts it as a lowercase N-turn)
even when the journey seems dark and endless. You never know what
kind of light is at the end of it.

Whatever that doesn’t break or kill you the first time, will make
you look like a major doofus if you let it happen to you again
the second time around. You’re definitely a dumbass if it happens
to you the third time.

Yours truly is waaayyy past that number already.

I went over to JFK’s crib this afternoon to check out his new baby.
Then later in the evening I went over to Auntie Zam’s place to
check out Suria and Hadi’s baby.

Them babies sure smell nice. Makes me wanna have one.

The month of Ramadhan is here again. Here’s wishing all Muslims a
good and fulfilling month ahead. May the holy month bring
everyone peace, prosperity and joy. Insya-Allah.

Watching Stomp
tonight made me realize how a bunch of talented and creative
people can turn everything, including the kitchen sink, into
sexy percussion instruments capable of producing melodious
cacophony that sends waves of aural orgasm to my ears.

Listening to this year’s Malaysian Idol
winner sing with that tight-underpants-induced-falsetto, on the
other hand, is enough to make anything in my pants shrivel.

Sure I won
myself a pair of spanking new shoes but I’m not sure if actually
winning that competition
was a good thing. I only have myself to blame if the Malaysian
entertainment fraternity will now stay even further away from me
and get a restraining order in effect on grounds that I’ve got
some kind of funky foot fetish going on.

Now, if only I’d put in a bit more effort to get the
other pair of shoes…

I’m in the mood for some nitpicking. So stand back, people.
This could get ugly.

1. On entertainment related weblogs, especially those that
   comment on reality entertainment shows’ performances,
   apparently everybody’s trying to be the expert in judging the
   contestant’s performances, which ends up being nothing more
   than a regurgitation of the professional judges’ opinions most
   of the time.
2. The ones that talk about technology or gadgetry are simply
   rehashing whatever anybody can find on either Slashdot or
   Engadget, offering no opinion of their own in actually
   using or experiencing for themselves the stuff
   they’re putting up as their weblog entry. Oh, whatever that’s
   from Google or Apple is cool and whatever that’s from Microsoft
   is suspect. They advocate the use of Open Source products but
   in reality they don’t run it on their own PCs as pirated
   Microsoft stuff can be easily obtained for a couple of bucks
   in town, even though they’re supposedly bug ridden and full of
   vulnerabilities. Otherwise, how else can they play the latest
   games?
3. There are those who totally ignore the basic rules of
   grammar and write as if they are instant messaging or SMS-ing
   by using abbreviations like ur, ppl, pls,
   dat, dun, lolz, omg, wtf,
   knn, ccb, mch, etc. Is there a character
   limitation imposed anywhere?
4. On the other side of the coin, some don’t believe in
   abbreviation. Maybe they don’t realize that had they used
   gila, jadi, ada instead of giler,
   jadik or ader they can save themselves a
   keystroke. On top of that, words such as korunk,
   konpem, kompius, tomolo really grates.
5. When taking group pictures, at least one person in the
   picture has to have his or her hand gesturing the peace
   sign.
6. Food has to be posed properly and photographed before
   consumed.
7. Don’t get me started on those who do any of the above and
   then get paid for doing it.

I would certainly appreciate it much if anybody can enlighten
me on the reason(s) for the following:

• Why can’t people aim properly when they use public toilets?
  The day they learn to stop spraying all over the place (and
  also flush the toilet after using) will be the day the
  “pay-to-pee” concept will
  die.
• Why must there be toll booths? Highways are supposed to cut
  down travelling time. Toll booths just negates whatever time
  that’s gained and causes more jams
  in most highways I know around the Klang Valley.
• Why does that one particular numbnut I see driving a
  Perodua Kenari
  sits as if he’s in an F1 car? There really isn’t any
  aerodynamic advantage in doing that.
• Why on earth did my Dad buy
  Mawi World’s album?
  The last time I knew he bought an album was Rohana Jalil’s.
• What on earth possessed my Dad to buy Rohana Jalil‘s
  album last time?
• Wait. My Dad actually bought Rohana Jalil‘s
  album?

Thanking any of you out there in advance.

I brought some friends to go see Actorlympics last night.
I was already officially an Actorlympics-holic. If you thought
that was bad enough, tonight, I brought my whole family (parents,
sister, brother-in-law and cousin) go see the Actorlympics. It’s
sick, I know, to subject them to many-laughs-a-minute kinda
torture for 90 minutes. That’s why I am now now officially a
confirmed chronic Actorlympics-holic.

I need help. Is there an Actorlympic-holics Anonymous therapy
group that I can join?
