Gracias

ooooooooooooohhhh….
read d papers today, bloggers (including me) beware….! slander, lies and blatant disregard for respect to religions, country, and King will be severely dealt with.
Front page of NST writes "action against flaming blogs".

seems that the editor of a local, well known "spicy" blog was summoned to the police today;to explain his actions.well, seems that most people who really kisah what bloggers write are the politicians lot.mostly from the gov side.ahaha.i wonder what Lim Kit Siang has to say abt this issue.hmm.

anyway, if blogs/ bloggers are deemed as "defacing people" by writing "mostly lies in it"…what about local news, especially on free to air tv?

or when politicians ceramah during election times?

or when prominent people gets scot free, even tho they are clearly performing daylight robbery?

are the news transparent? does local newspapers report unbiased reports? do we get the news in whole, or are they just tip, of the iceberg;the one pretty side of the tip that they are feeding us…?
looks like certain quarters are getting pretty hot under the collar.hmm…kalau tak salah, buat ape nak susah susah ye tak?

i read the said "slanderous" blogs, and no where in it insults the King, or the nation. sure strong words were used, but sometimes, u gotta write the "hard" stuff, in order to write and describe it.u knw wat i mean?*hint *hint!

i dnt knw whether they are true, nor am i endorsing them being true.but it does make you think.but not to an extent to hack the next chinese, malay or indian you come across! these are views, man! opinion!

if it aint, it will wash away like cheap paint off a wall, like it does in schools.if its true, well, lets let the court decide keh? i believe the editor of Malaysia Today has taken consideration before writing, therefore, he is confident of his posting.

jalan penyelesaian?why dont both parties, the gov and him, lay down all yr cards, and let the people decide.no cover ups.no TV3 reporting or RTM News reporting; or reports by Malay tabloids. make it a live telecast.cards open.people decide.ada berani?

kalau lu rasa lu betul, lu mesti berani lor…

come clean.easy.

if you think putting a plug / clamp on blogging , think again. well yeah. bloggers tend to write on firsthand opinion, unfiltered, and may be biased, but an honest depository of ideas in word. why can you look at the bright side of things?

freedom of speech. my foot.i bet Time or Newsweek is gonna have a say about this ; so how now? good for the people who again brought up this freedom of ideas and speech; zot for those who feel threatened by it.

if you are reading this, i urge you to watch "V for Vendetta". trust me.watch it not for the movie, or the actress(well yeah, Natalie Portman is pretty!) but for the idea it carries.
Men die.but ideas, words and action lives on.

the day they put a clamp on blogging content, that is the date any form of freedom of voice dies in Malaysia. mark it on yr calendar.

they say the pen is mightier than the sword….
nowdays, to type is sharper than to speak…..

think about it.

"Everyone loves hot and spicy fried chicken, or Flaming hot Peri-Peri chicken…..unless, ure dat chicken itself….ahaha…."

ok.time for serious writing. guess you all noticed me being a bit "offbeat" for several previous posts - less liberal in my views.well guess what? i’m back to my normal self.

firstly, being a borneo born, i feel kind of offended with the whole 50 year Malaysia thing.Malaya dapat kemerdekaan frm British 1957. but Malaysia ? Sejarah form 3 recap;

Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined in the 14-State federation in 1963, which then the term "Malaya" was then replaced by "MALAYSIA". Singapore then since left the federation in 1965, subsequently became an independent country.

so if we’re celebrating our independence from the Brits, fine by me, but slogans such as "50 Years of Malaysia" is definitely misleading.aint it?

cuz can they count properly, or is it year 2013 already? bugger.im 29 then.aiiyak.
so when i read this thing on Malaysia-Today which stated that CM of Sabah didnt want to participate with the 50 year celebration, i agree.for once.yep.dats the correct thing to do!

put this in a context ; you, joined in a company or an organization in a much later stage, and from the point you joined, subsequent growth occurs.u re branded them (a.k.a new name lah).your entry brought a huge change for the better…then when they want to laud it in their celebrations few years down the road, they start to reminisce the days prior to your joining, proclaiming it being good(not that it was bad or anything) since the day before you joined, and even have the audacity of proclaiming the usage of the "strategy" you brought in was used prior to your joining. man.id be pissed.

well yeah, maybe its a subtle knock to hantam Singapore. but until when la? cant grow up is it us Malaysia? 50 years man. and when Singapore speaks up, some quarters who cant take criticism will lash back, saying them as being ungrateful, bla bla bla, ungkit back the whole "you were once part of us", hormat sikit yr closest economic neighbor, respect the "bigger" nation.shit like that.even when we are just say…barely few years elder than Singapore je pun.

arent you spitting to the sky? cuz some air headed people in Malaysia talk cock of the US, over petty issues, padahal US is a country with more than 200 years of independence…? hmmm….

then again have you heard about the plans to put up the Union Jack, on the eve of the 31st Aug, and a "symbolic" taking it down thinggy? sort of to re enact the happenings of 50 years ago.

mighty disrespectful dont u think? well i certainly agree with Raja Petra when he wrote in his blog in Malaysia-Today that some monkeys will go nuts if SIngapore decided to pull off a similar stunt like that, using our flag.

well its a case of,you like to hit, but can you take a hit? do i hear a sound….?similar to the Chicken RIce Shop advert on radio….? the sound that goes after the tagline "The…Chicken …Rice…Shop…Chicken Rice and More….! *some sound effect* "

you know that sound effect dont ya? well dats exactly some buggers are like in Malaysia.

kids nwdays.read abt the stuff where they re being punished, and a huge roar of disapproval coming out.without taking any sides ,i believe that kids nwdays are lacking in the discipline and attitude part. easy to say, compared to my time (talking as if im an old geezer-certainly feels like it at times) , they have it easy.

they need a "people touch" in learning.therefore, id say, bring back the heydays of the rotan.it works for me.it worked during my time.and im sure as hell it will work now. this term was coined during my secondary school years, of a teacher who walks around, sort of dragging his huge rotan.so when he walks, you can hear the sound of the rotan scraping the cement he’s walking on.mighty scary i tell you. the term coined was ;

"K@$$!M…Just Rotan It…!" -like the Nike advert.

SMK Perimbun people would know.

as for the ragging in unis.define ragging.come kids.dats nothing.not to say ragging is alright la.it never is.but if u cant stand a lil bit of shit, how r u gonna get thru yr uni life? worse, in real life…? learn to live with it.trust me.
u would trade for it once u end up with a passive-aggressive co worker jackass who uses his/her senior level post to push you around.nak complain? dat means signing off yr resignation letter. best way, live with it, maneuver  thru it, deal with it.in yr own way.

i like the method of separating  personal and professional stuff.it works.in d office,u may be my senior, but outside office hours? …iDOGIVAFAK!

what is "monster" in Malay? is it Raksasa, or is it Rasaksa, Resakse, or Monster ultraman? hmm…as i remember it, its d first one "Raksasa".but people tend to pronounce it as Resakse..hmmm….

what is the original price of books we are purchasing anyway? i mean, the Harry Potter books.selling price, recommended price (not Tesco or Carrefour) is RM 109.90. is it really the recommended price? if they say selling at 69.90 means the hypermarts rugi, i dont believe it.do you knw some marts are selling it at 5 Euros  (or is it pounds?) ….???dat makes a direct conversion rate, say times, 7. is RM 35.00?!!! fuckin hell.i wanna know wat are the markups to the books then! we are being ripped off! i dare say, even when the main bookstores give a 20-25% discount on the books today (dat means a 25% brings the price of the books to RM 82.50) we re still being ripped!

told ya. hype.ure paying for the ticket to be in the hype.not because its the first reprint or anything.well yeah, first prints are always valuable, but i doubt Potter fans are much into that angle. (if suddenly Paris Hilton endorses kuih cekodok, dare i say, even cekodok will cost 5 bux a piece.price will skyrocket even more if Lindsay Lohan decided for a cekodok only diet, Victoria Beckham spotted eating one with a latte, and Jamie Oliver makes his own version of "Le Che’cho doque" )

then…what abt the normal books then….?i usually do a cross check on the prices of the comics i buy, (DC, Vertigo, Marvel, Dark Horse etc) and calculate on the price if sold locally , kira direct currency exchange la….and it seems alright…albeit over head and shipping costs. e.g. Say, a Batman comic is sold for US$14.90 , times it with say, 3.5, is RM 52.15. Usually sold at RM55.00. acceptable la.

but in case of these Harry Potter books? hmm.no wonder JK Rowling is richer than Queen Elizabeth II.

saw the new proton advert? comes out in August. i dnt knw d name, but looks kinda cool.

no longer based on a Mitsubishi (so no more idiots who aspire for an Evo, but end up pimping up their Wira) , comes with a 1.6 engine, starts at 45k++ for a base line model(kira basic la, got CD Player4 power windows), till 55k++ for a hi line model(mahal one la, dual airbags, EBD,ABS) ….menyesal lak i rembat my Wira awal awal…nonetheless, i still luv my Mikaila.(hey, i named her way before Transformers was showing keh!) …good price.considering Viva is also a 40k++ model.

more tech specs, 1.6L, 110bhp (As compared to a 95 bhp in a Wira;300bhp++ in Ferraris and Porsches, and 1000bhp++ in a Koenisegg-sigh…)

 anyways, i hope its a bomb.so that someone i know (very close) can buy it, and i end up driving their car instead.*hint hint! Brandon…..=P

finally, a nice car, made in Malaysia after years, which i wont segan to drive one.

minus the old Wira and Waja, the newer models….

Viva looks like an illegitimate child of a Kancil and MyVi,or a shrunk Avanza; Savvy looks like a dung beetle, MyVi’s got a huge butt, and Tiara…the only good thing with the car is its name.
honestly, i hope its a good car, and carries a respectable name. im afraid they would decide to call it something totally ridiculous…like Proton Merdeka, or even worse, Proton Pendekar. however, hope for a good name seems bleak.

rainy season people.well, im enjoying it if its d weekend, but unfrtunately, i have a 5 work day thing.so darn!

stay indoors, stay cool.avoid d flu bug.im down with one.
im off for now.

arrivedercci

alright.the hoo haa of the latest most-lovable-brat-wizard new book last weekend. Finally.its over.im never a fan of Harry Potter books, they re too thick.and crappy if you ask me (never being a big fiction-wizard-magic sort)…but people are entitled to their fancy.
well, i juz dont get it when you camp outside bookstores juz to get yr hands on em.incomprehensible no matter how i look at it.again, whatever suits yr fancy kiddies.

then some supermart decided to put a "below the belt" (pun intended) move by pricing the RM109.90 books for 69.90. Sweet.clever.Slytherin.aha.(not a Potter fan, but i do follow d movies -cant wait for dat hero to die.darn irritating character dat Harry if you ask me….-but he didnt.darn.well so far…no ideas on the spoilers by d way)
if you ask me, alls fair in luv.and war.and pricing books.ahaha.oh yeah.business too.

on a totally different topic,

ever heard of stereotyping people…?how abt stereotyping shopping complexes.had d chance to observe last weekend, and boy, totally uncalled for, but i think yr preference of hang-out shopping complexes pretty much tells of yr demographic and social background.and yr mental state too.is it significant?i dnt know.but to some., it may be.

dont understand wat i just said?neither do i.anyway, read on, and hopefully u get it.ahaha.Please note that the traits below are based on my HONEST observation, experience and opinions on the places. if offended, well, do i give a bloody damn abt it?
Ok.im gonna stereotype kids styles i see a lot nwdays, cuz they pretty much play a part in stereotyping a shopping complex.so ill start with "style profiling".

dont blame d "old" geezer.as a t-shirt and jeans kind of person, styles are way off my topic.so ill jz observe, and interpret.riiiiiigghhttt…..

well, the following may sound like "race profiling".well pls dont feel offended.cuz no where im gonna say what race is involved.no offense intended.you make yr own judgement.

cuz…you jarang, or almost never will see some chinese boy with worn out clothes, ankle lenght jeans, with a cigarette squatting outside a shopping complex ; or an Indian kid looking like a Harajuku girl…ok.sapa makan gummi bear, dia la rasa sedap.

When Being BENG aint so cool.

***To know if u have a flicker of an Ah Beng-ish in you,see if you have any of these traits…..

-you luv wearing spiky hairdo, long sleeved shirts inside, and short sleeved,and with a thick vertical t-shirt outside.and yr jeans are kinda bling blingy, and 2 inches over yr waist size.you also have a chain connecting to yr wallet, which is not needed, cuz yr wallet is pretty thin, and loaded w yr sticker-photographs taken at the amusement centre, instead of money.and you cant speak english properly. you luv FENG-TAU.You probably watch "Project Superstar" on 8TV, and you pretty much memorize Astro Wah Lai Toi schedule.

-To know if you have the faintest taint of an Ah Lian DNA in ya, you know the "cute-finger signals pose from 1-10".U probably took a pic of u wit it, and posted it on Friendster. U want to be a Jap.without knowing, yr Great forefathers were main anti-Japs, cuz they were constantly being picked on during the war.u listen to Utada Hikaru.the only Jap word you know is Kawaii. You wear long socks with thick vertical stripes, regardless yr girth.you walk around with a sling bag, filled with God knows what, with frizzy dangly things.
-yr fav pre-clubbing meal : lok lok.anywhere.

- yr add-ons to yr self, actually cost much less than they actually are….(those are conterfeit la sayang…..)

REMPITs in d house….REM..REM…REM…

#### To know if any vile Rempit /Punk/Grunge DNA lives in you, see if even one trait below hits, well, i tell you this, detox brudder.detox.

How to Know if ure a Mat/Minah Rempit (they re d same, cuz both are dim-bulbs anyway; hard to diff em.) - Makes you wonder, arent i worried they’ll get mad by reading this…?

well, sapa makan cili, dia terasa pedas,and besides, they read blogs ka?  ok.back to the character profiling.

-yr dream kasut are the Converse-made-from cloth ones.
-you wear drainpipe-ill fitting-crotch-hugging-cheap jeans
-you have more than 3 bundle t-shirts.
-yr t-shirts can fit a 5 year old.e.g.2 sizes too small.
-yr dream vehicle? no.not a Porsche, or a Koenisegg…but a RXZ. or VS 125
-you walk like there’s an elephant flea biting yr crotch, and orang sized tumors under yr armpits.
-yr fav pre clubbing meal :none.cuz you dnt enter.u juz buy some coke frm a 7-11, and lepak outside the club.
-yr add-ons to yr bikes, actually cost more than yr "bulb"

-XPDC rock! (only to you)

IM A NIGGA from the HOOD…and MY HOOD is err….BRICKFIELDS….err. SENTUL?
well this points to some kids who wanna be like a nigga, dresses like em, and walks like em too. wear thick sweaters when its 30 degrees outside there….shiny jeans that actually reflect light…and whose hands cant stay still when they talk.
-yr fav hang out : BANGSAR!
-yr fav pre-clubbing meal : NAsi daun pisang Bangsar!
-u pretty much brag if you downed a bottle of Chivas, Vodka etc.
-u insist you be called a Malaysian, and not by yr race.

-you try to speak like Jay-Z, but yr thick accent kills any attempt.

-yr car stereo plays Sean Paul.over.and over.and over.and over.and over.like d Duracell bunny.only more irritating.

-u wear shades, even when its at 10pm, and ure indoors.

-yr only similarity to a nigga, or any western rapper, is yr skin shade.

-yr add-ons to yr car actually cost more than the car itself.

Techie-Geek-I-Own-An-IPhone!

well pretty much hang out in tech areas.dont really kacau anyone.juz make you feel really, really inferior, when all you are getting is a 512MB RAm, and d dude beside you (MR GEEK) buys a top shelf, AlienWare….6X yr PC’s performance….

EMO!

New clss i saw few mnths back.black eyeshadow.wearing cheap blazers.i think dats d only part in life they re gonna wear a tie, coat and slacks….but with converse shoes.or Pallas Jazz even. wear wings on their backs.walk with umbrellas indoors. main brand is Emily the Strange.

OK.mall/shopping complex profiling!

Place: Bukit Bintang /Sungei Wang/Berjaya Times Square…..

bad aeration, congestion, too many people, hot.terrible layout, even terrible escalator layout, great bargains, good price, limited food choice…..but we still love it!

if you hang
out here often, you most probably fall into one of these categories….

- you love bargain hunting, and you pretty much grow up around this area.
-you most probably come from the Cheras area, or Ampang.
-you probably like bubble gum.the cheap variation.looks pretty sweet in the
first
milisecond, buts gets icky and stale the next moment.

if u normally hang out here aimlessly, most probably because

-you probably are an Ah Beng or an Ah Lian.
-youre a Goth / emo-rock.
-yr a Mat Rempit/minah Rempit/mat Punk/skinhead/grunge
-yr idea of hanging out is to walk around aimlessly, and the sure visit
outlet is the 7-11, or the lok-lok auntie behing IMBI Plaza.

some visitors normal activity

- bargain with the auntie shop owner.

-pretty much, all the types of people hang or at least hung out here.therefore, id agree to call this the "Malaysia Mall" a.k.a. Layan Lepak Legendary status Holy Ground.

KLCC

-MAt rempits visit here too much.since its d most convenient to reach.to look at the KLCC fountain, and also to do scenes at the park.what? u dont know? its an open secret man.

-again the venue of a twice yearly pilgrimage of geeks, and techies who go to the KLCC convention centre for the PC Fair.funny.i never see any rempits innit.its like there is this invisible wall outside of the convention centre….rempits just dont enter it.hmmm…

-apart frm expats, glamor /fashion hi-end ones, most prominent faces: tourists.and spot on, Bangladeshis, Nepalese,or Pakistanis who have the knack of posing on a pathway lampost for photos.no kidding! even noticed a dude doing the "Sleeping buddha" pose for a pic by a staircase.

you normally come here if, or because….

- you may live near this place, Ampang, Wangsa Maju etc. easily connected via lrt places.

-its d bookstore…honest (i agree!)

-you dont mind playing sardine in a train, or play the "avoid touching anyone’s butt in the train" game.

-you dont mind paying parking up to 12 bux.

-you like playing with freakinly congested elevators.

-you love the fountains.and the extra activities with it.

-mat rempits turn you on…errr…(wat d fuck?!)

-KLCC sounds way cooler than BB Plaza…btul tak…?

Mid Valley Megamall :

-use to be d hang out joint for majority-ly Beng-bengs and Lian-Lians….now, after Komuter gets a stop here, Rempits start to come by the coaches.

-Trucker hats , 25 degrees to either side is a staple "in" gaya. fav hang out place for the lepak-ers : centrecourt, looking at people walking around. most unfrequently visited: the MPH.ahaha.even if they do, the get a "Gempak"mag, before cabutting out.

-They hang out at the bowling alley, not to play, but to appear playing.gaya! plus, on weekends, it comes as a mini disco-atmosphere.no cover charge beb!
they hang out near the cinema.not to watch , but to appear they’re buying tix, and also , to catch the latest trailer on the huge screen.

-wannabe niggaz are also ubiquitous here.they re everywhere!

Mid Valley is also an area for aunties, and uncles to do their shopping.normally citizens of Salak, Cheras, Sri Petaling, OUG, Bangsar and also, Seputih flock this area.why? JUSCO.

normally middle class people, who malas wanna go to deep KL, avoid d jam, and also; rajin carik parking.

come here if ;
-you like queuing up to get an empty table.even if its McD!
-you like queuing up into McD, eventho ure not actually buying any McD stuff (beratur at d cinema la)
-u luv playing "human bumper cars"
-you like a bit of almost everything.
-u want a tolerable quota of each gaya of people.
-you re here for d bookstore (again;agree!)

One Utama :

place where u wanna see pretty/celebs/mix people.yeah right!higher probability, if compared to Mid Valley and BB.but still, similar trend.but albeit lesser.more family oriented.

still, i hav a funny feeling this will end up like MID valley, cuz its getting more "accessible".lesser rempits here tho. probably cuz a 5 ringgit fillup on their bikes wont get them back and fro One Utama and their nest.

more family friendly area.but i think d parking bay is too small.

terrible public transport, which leads to lesser "busuks". mellow-er crowd. great place for "wannabe-cool" people to come.

you normally frequent here if :

-you live in the PJ area.

- KLCC too rempit…Mid Valley too Ah Beng, fake niggaz….i wanna be smwhere nice. (yeah right.dream on sucker)

-you wanna go to Jusco.simply.

-the word Damansara is power-er than Mid Valley….? err…haimeh…?

-u luv traffic jams.

-ure here fr d bookstore.wait a minute.heh.yeah right.

The Curve…IKANO.

i managed to drop by last weekend.simply la.driver duty.long story.anyways, my observations show that ;

well its a high class area, so high end pricing also la.a mamak also charged me 1.50 fr a teh tarik in damansara, so wat u expect?

hardly any rempits.hardly any ah bengs and ah lians. wat i get is simple clothing.easy said, people who come here are family oriented la.

cool.but bad thing, unreasonably priced stuff.it keeps d rempits away.maybe…hmmm…well, ntg is perfct.nothing much to buy, unless u got money to burn.

-you frequently hang here if….well, aint got anythn bttr to do than spend money on overpriced stuff, well, wat else can u do eh?

-u wann ago to Ikea.yeah right.dnt think this is a good hang out anyway.more of a family mall….hmmmm

anyways, dnt take "hang out" as in you visited it.i mean HANG OUT as in lepak in d area on a normal basis.easy.well honestly, my fav hang out is Mid Valley.reason, its convenient.but usually go there for a reason.to get specific stuff.not to loiter.so generally, yeah, the stuff written applies to LOITERS. get a hint.pardon d long entry.its Monday, and im effin bored.kerja stuff siap dah.

so what about people who dont see themselves in any of the "style profiling" part…?well, feel good.u got brains.you shop cuz you shop. and yr hang out area preference is purely out of convenience, logic, and yr activities planned.

-woot woot!

Since Transformers turn out to be a major success in the movies, i decided to reminisce on more old cartoons,or TV shows to be made "BIG"!

well, people who grew up around the same time frame will know these cartoons, so bare with me yeah, if ure too young to remember.

by the way, i received some feedback that the link for the transformer sounds have some probs, so ive rectified it.=).

back to main story/topic.

my time or zaman was between 1990 (i was 6) till 2001 (heyy…form 5 tu!)

well, ill start with the names of the cartoons, and how i remember them….

• SpeedRacer! Yes.the other cool car show! SpeedRacer…Go Speedracer! Cool car.Dumb helmet.
• McGyver !- The ultimate genius a.k.a my idol, cuz he can make bombs from play doh, and knock a dude off with AA batteries.practically!introduces the term : pisau mcgyver.
• KnightRider! Not because Hasslehoff, its because of the car.Best intro ever.
• A-Team! - makes riding in a van look cool, and MR T is the sifu of bling bling. I bet he was 50 cents’ idol last time.
• Go Go Power Rangers! yeah! it rocked when there were only 5 on them,Rita Repulsa, Goldar, dat clay army bla bla bla. some dumb robot going Ai-ya-yai-ya-yai…! -variations also, Maskman, Flashman etc. Forgot how the "revised" transformation hand signals by Flashman tho.ahaha. another thing was some huge cannon they call "Meriam Katak"…(wat d FUCK?) , or something sounding similar to that….huge robots, and there was this HUGE.HUGE red truck.Japanese really know how to make heroes. Yatta!
• Thundercats! Cheetara lari laju…tertanggal baju …! (bet every single boy in Malaysia sung that line at least once.) Lion-o, Panther-o, Tiger-a, Cheetah-ra….(talk abt creativity in naming them….) but best of all…MUMMRAAA! Cool logo, but a thing dat seems uneasy when i think back of that cartoon is that the thundercats, male ones tend to show their stomach a lot / bellybutton area. its like watching a Britney Spears video, but replacing her with buffed up dudes.aiiya.
• Kesatria baja Hitam : a.k.a Kamen Rider Black! got 2 bikes. uses "Penumbuk….paaduu…maaaoooot….! " and "Sepakan….paaadduuu….maaaoooot…!" to whack off enemies.but normally knocks them over with his bikes. The pinnacle of every Mat Rempits dream to start.(if you count back the Mat Rempits average age, minus say…12-13 years, dats arnd the time this  show was hot! make yr own connections.aha.).Special mention to his "bertukar" dance.
• Space Sheriff…Gaban! (or smtg similar sound to that). Rides a bike with a sidecar.so not cool.but owns a friggin giant red dragon robot.and rides on it by standing on its head.Space-su Polis-u Gaban!
• Airwolf! Major show that tells us that: Helis are cool, and prompted us to call any cool looking heli as "likopter-airwolf"…! ridiculous when thinking abt it again, but hey…a heli faster than a jet always rocks.
• Otoraman! Ultraman! yesss! Hakutoo…Minami…! Bertukar….! ive always liked the ultraman Ace series.notice his head was always kinda too big for the body.ahaha. the newer ultramans are kinda lame i think. trying too hard.they shd stick to the old ones recipe. monster, ultraman come, ultraman kill!
• Reboot! - this one cool cartoon which i believe among the earliest CGI shows. cool concept, and yeah.original.
• Cybercop.who would ve known, pushing the right buttons on phonebooths can bring you bags filled with guns? cool planet names in all, Mars, Saturn, mercury and Jupiter. and d bad dude was Lucifer.how apt. among the coolest toys ever brought in, and hard to get too!
• Biker Mice From Mars.Now this is a cool cartoon.Bikers, Harleys, Mars! Giant rodents! nice intro movie also.Saturdays never miss show.
• Voltron - the king of giant robots-which-are-made-from several-smaller -robots!
• Cyber Rider ! and the Star Sheriff! woo-chiu-chiu…! i dont know why, but the theme song sort of haunts me till now…..! luv the suits.even loved giant robot with a cowboy hat!

guess thats all i can think of….if i missed some, sorry, my bad.
but yeah, please do remind some more…=)

Oasis’ song says it loud and clear…
Dont Look Back in Anger. Well, yeah. delete that anger part. it says it clear, i believe so to.

But it comes to this; we Malaysians, we look back at past achievements with nostalgia,too much for our own good; often so, at deceased people’s feat.and bench mark on their achievements; 5, 15, even 25 years after it’s being done….

Example:  After witnessing our oh so beloved national footie team got the crap beaten out of them by China, 5-1 (score more like a Hockey game huh…?), i did not have a tinge of surprise in me. Hmmm…

well, since some quarters berapi saying "this is the time for us to redeem our pride" in international football, and prove that we’re worthy participants, not just as hosts… etc..bla bla bla…getting so-overly optimistic, i kept my cool and sanity by following the golden rule of Malaysian sports.

They perform when you dont care abt them. and vice versa. Look at Hafiz Hashim. No one gave a rat’s ass abt him then in All England, and he went on to win it. The moment people start "following" his progress, he falls like a fly on Shieldtox.

so the moment you taruk harapan, thats when they screw up. Normal la. We Malaysian wat. remember? even Nicol Ann David screwed up once when the whole Nation was banking on her. but that’s another story.

too much to point out to for similar example, so i hope u get the pic.

so when the team lost, the blaming game starts.weird thing tho, only in Malaysia that the loss was NEVER the coach’s fault.

Always the players, tactics, the field, the stadium, the fans,the weather, the (this is rich ) opponent being too strong, the water boy, the ballboy, the team bus driver, the mascot, the wrong boot selection (and you call them Professional footballers…?!) ; but NEVER, the coach’s fault.

never have i witnessed (or have i been sleeping all while) a Malaysian National coach admitting his fault, mistakes in tactics, selection of players or even style of play after a defeat. or should i call it.WHITEWASH.better still, BLEACHING.

read:Malaysia totally got BLEACHED by CHINA!

Normal response: we look forward, we put this behind, and learn from it. none of those done, and to prove me right, i tell you, we’re gonna get Klorox-ed again come Saturday.

well, how does this relate to the "nostalgia-looking-back-to-past-achievements" thinggy? easy. Notice after every Klorox-ed performance, TV3 will go with….(these exact words) "…zaman kegemilangan pasukan bolasepak kebangsaan…" , "kelibat Mokhtar Dahari…."…bla bla bla…..

come on MAN! MOVE ON! yes, Mokhtar Dahari was one of a kind, and yes, we were once big.but not anymore! i cant believe that certain quarters are still harping of our  achievements in qualifying for the Olympics , where we decided to pull out of one, cuz wanna boycott Russia.

But why, why benchmark on stuff eons ago? everything will suck if you compare with stuff 15 years ago! look at d film /music industry. same case. Seniman Agung P Ramlee.yep. appreciating masterpieces is one thing. living in the past is another. and we do the latter.

well, im ready to move on, but sad, some people’s mentality is still "Di takuk lama"……(wat d fuck is ‘takuk’ anyway? ) - sounds like smtg frm an old movie….."sekali aku takuk…!"

ever notice how mostly people who drive d big cars, import cars are d real fuckers on the road? seriously. they cut lines, hantam emergency lane, then try to squeeze into the main lane, bullying some poor Kancil driver to give way, cuz dnt wanna dent a Merc, or Beemer and get into unnecessary hal.

how come cops are somewhat more lenient to them anyway? saman la. they can afford it what.
Notice how all cars parked near the Mid Valley komuter station, along the road, which covers a huge part of the road, which naturally lead to the Mid V jam?dont tell me no one never perasan, and Polis dont saman them for illegal parking…?!!!
COME ON!

in relation to an old post, of the being green wise/fashion wise at the same time. remember that "I AM NOT A PLASTIC BAG" bag limited edition going for RM 55.00 which was sold out 1 hour after on sale in KLCC….?
well, "miss whoever bought em bags", tell me this, do you know anything abt global warming? aha. think abt it.

fashion conscious, or environmental conscious, whatever. again i repeat, Global Warming is inevitable, and its just another unavoidable phenomenon, and weasels are reaping from it.

makes me wonder,where do you bring those bags to anyway? to yr local pasar malam?
id be darned if some Ah soh struts on buying pork meat in pasar Suntex lugging around with a bag which says "im Not a Plastic bag".aha.

im told the bags are made of cloth. try making them with cow hide.leather. helps a bit in curbing cow farts.aha.
anyways to those who missed out in getting them, Petaling Street.nuff said.ahaha.
people wont be able to tell the diff.or just wont bother.

Hairy Potty movie out.kiddies lining up to catch the movie and all, and then in the cinema, u’ll get over-laughing (no kidding, it does exist) kids, know all brats ("no, Myrtle should be sitting on a "p" pipe toilet cubicle, not an "S" pipe cubicle"….sort of conversation) and clueless boffins ("eh why uh dat fellow like that…? why she so bad…? oh me…? yeah, i saw all the movies, but i forgot la what happen" type of viewer.)

if you get flying popcorn coming your way, that’s from me, you friggin dickwad.

lastly, i finally found a way to spell that "R" correctly in Toys "Я" Us. Heyy…backwards R! cool eh!

signing off,

This will be my 97th post. hard to believe it huh…?

well yeah. im sure some people would wonder how come i have so much free time to write. well, this is how.

i dont plan my writings.surprised? aha.remember.i never plan my postings.its sort of a surge which pops up, and i start a typing frenzy. so my blogs are usually written within my official write ups fr work. sort of 30 mins of work, then will divert to blogging, maybe a line, maybe a paragraph in between, say for a good 3 mins non-stop.

so there.

then again, i came to me today.well the recently visitor tracker device i put up shows good traffic. thanks a bunch. well id appreciate it if you guys would you know, give some opinion on how to improve my writing. well comments are welcomed, criticism even more.

well, pardon my grammar, which has always been least of my concern in writing, more so the spelling (purposely of course ; adds to the feel  / mood of the topic) , but that seems to be my style of writing my blogs. aha.

anyways, hope u guys found the stuff on the transformers thinggy recently (posted by me helpful,eheh.no more aftr this.fever die down alrd) are ok and acceptable.

will resume normal duties next week in airing grouses, firing sitting ducks, and sarcasm.constant sarcasm.

well , please do drop a line, i need feedback, not on topic, (but if have anything, please do give) but more on style of writing, whether i’ve been doing a good job in writing my stuff, whether it sux (uh-oh) or even, should i stop writing my blogs once and for all…..? suggestions, critique, bombardments, anything.

or if there’s a request for old postings and all, also can.aha. sort of reshuffle the order, pull em up a bit.

well, anything is possible. drop me a line yeah. need some revamp here.aha.

Grazie.

Hi all, just to lend a hand to those interested yeah…
ive received loadsa queries regarding where to get the Transformers Movie Bumblebee
Deluxe toy. Here are the gist.

There are two versions, released by Hasbro and Tomy-Takara. Hasbro is the normal one, for sale in US, and Tomy-Takara is the for sale in Japan. Mine is the TOMY-TAKARA one. and it is limited.

More so, my bumblebee is the 74 version camaro, not the Concept version.

wats the diff between the 74 camaro Hasbro and Tomy-Takara?
well first noticable one is that the blasters/lasers are in blue for the Tomy-Takara ones. Hasbro is in yellow.

note, fully transformed bumblebee stands around 15 cms, like normal short ruler la. so there.this if for all versions.

Tomy-takara has a clear blue tint window, where as Hasbro’s is sort of blue-ish. online reviews have been comparing these 2 versions, and yep, Tomy-Takara is better (lucky me!) and harder to get. So far i see like 3 on sale in e-bay Malaysia.

Better get yr hands on it quick! links:
www.ebay.com.my/listResults?browse=0&Query=Bumblebee&Submit=Find+it&SearchWorldWide=0

(click on it, or paste it on yr browser) , and good luck. so far, ive failed to locate the Camaro Concept by Tomy-Takara. still searching….

as for those who wanna really get em, try for those with "blue" blasters. seriously suggest that.

good luck in gettin yr own. ciao.

for those arnd Klang valley, the last bumblebee in Times Square dah takde. blame it on me. whoever interested in getting Barricade (the GT-Mustang cop car) can try yr luck at the Graffiti Toys store in Times Sq. Good luck. =]

Jazz also got.

lastly, pics for you to diff them…

*excuse me for this entry…feeling childish all week. haha.not to mention, less sleep,
and coffee intake.aha!

Tune into the radio Saturday night, and i hear this sort of suppose to be a live telecast of the LifeEarth Concert. well, fine by me. if they wanna make free concerts, please do.

but the concept, i cant comprehend. how do poop (purposely spelled, not a typo) stars can contribute in curbing global warming?

i dont know. the only thing i see is artistes like Shakira actually contribute more to global warming by gyrating those hips.they dont lie.no they dont, and they certainly make the glaciers/icebergs melt faster. *wink wink!

ok back to the topic. Well some dude from the Artic Monkeys agree that, stage lighting itself is equivalent to electricity in ten houses. so where is the logic in that?

you go to concert, you drive. more carbon monoxides.
you lapar, you buy hotdogs, and sodas.more trash.
you directly leave yr mark smwhere, and leave a huge mess behind when thousands, like you , gather at a sync for a so-called save the world move….then what?

these poop stars…err, they move around in jets right…? d irony of curbing exhaust fumes….hmph.a private jet emits more carbon monoxide, per passenger compared to a commercial jetliner e.g. 747 or Airbus. oh, the irony.

wanna curb d gas emissions?
plug cow butts.
seriously.
Plug cow butts.
do you know that  18% of worldwide carbon monoxide gases come from cow farts?

18 PERCENT! thats even more than all the vehicles around the world combined!

yes they do fart, and pretty good at it. so people, start plugging. (MUSE - Plug in Baby : "My plug in baby….! crucifies my enemies….! " -oh wat an appropriate song.heh! )

its a hype. free publicity, and i really cant stand so called stars are doing politically correct stuff, juz fr cheap publicity! come on! yeah yeah, Angelina Jolie adopts kids like no one’s biz, then what?

participatin in "save the earth" campaigns, like Life Earth, and owning a guzzler of a machine, like Hummers back home…having 6 cars which they hardly drive, jetting off arnd d world in jets; then promoting green living. Hipocracy la dei.and lagi dont understand people who buys into this hype.

here are stuff to contribute …small way, but significant.well, yeah.recycle, but not d old style reuse and stuff. improvised methods.thats what im talking abt.

1.bring yr own plastic bags to supermarkets.that way, offer to use yours when paying.even more so, if you buy a mag, do you really need the plastic bag? or even when you buy stuff that are readily carry-able without a plastic bag.refuse packing.

2.atm machines.must you press YES whenever they ask for yr receipt? if wanna check yr balance after withdrawing, continue transaction, and check balance there! all i see is, print, look up for half a sec, and throw away. come on. only request fr d receipt when really required la.

3.take , or at least learn public transport systems.avoids the need for cars during peak hours.

4.save the trees.eat a beaver.(oh.skip that!)

5.plug cow butts.(would work, but this just wont do….)

6.service yr car more often.helps avoid over revving : more emissions.

7.go alfresco.air cond makan? err..reduce em.

pretty much.small stuff.but imagine the impact if more people does it. (not eating the beavers and plugging cow butts, of course)

finally saw the transformers movie, and yes, its worth it!

by d way, finally got me hands on the frigginly rare transformers movie collectible toy, which i have been failing to get my beady hands on, which for the past 2 weeks, so far failed to get em in 3 Toys ‘R’ Us.

finally, Bumble Bee is in my hands. its the Tomy-Takara made, the older 74 Camaro version, the first car version bumblebee appeared in the movie. ONLY 2310units worldwide.so there.(the concept car…? well, even if they had it, i wld go for d old skool one.it actually in existence, and its more original…IMHO)

oh well, excuse the show boating.ehehehe…sellingon EBAY internationally at say 100US$ ++, and in ebay Malaysia, latest price is 95 for d old model, and 160 (last time i check) for the new version.

hurry up people….! 2310 units X 2 only available. divide it by six billion…ermmm…ermm….

anyways, this is how Bumble bee turned out to be.mighty cool if you ask me.=]

In old camaro mode….

Who..hoo..khe..khee…kheeek!

to all Ferraris, never ever mess with a beat up Camaro…or else….

"ahaha! who’s laughing now…? Bee-otch! "

final pose: by the way, it stands at 14cms.pretty neat huh?

oh heck. i cant help it. its taken over my work desk…and my keyboard too!  productivity dip! noooo!


"thank god i landed in the US, if i silap landing in Malaysia, i might end up as a Naza Sutera.id save the Decepticons the trouble, and kill myself first"….!

OK.what if they do land in Malaysia? Optimus as a lori hantu? you know, that lorry with wooden doors?worse, if the sample he took was a macha driver who had oh so many colorfull lights in it?  he might have several tyres and doors falling off the first time he tries that transformation stunt.aha.

what if Bumblebee was a Kancil? ill leave it to your imaginations la. last one, i gotta take a dig at the "medic guy" in the Autobots. He’d wont wanna end up as a Malaysian AMbulance/ medic vehicle.hehe…..putih!

till later.
roll out.

wonder how cornflakes + ciku taste like.hrrmmm…..=P

One of the my frequently visited website is Time.com.and today, i bumped into a topic: Men Talk as much as women. contrary to the "famous" research where men average 7000 words a day (i believe mostly beginning with an F), compared to ladies : 20 000 words uttered.

so someone did a new test ; voila.
The score: Women, 16,215. Men, 15,669.
for the article, go to;

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1640325,00.html

click on the link. and argue.or.agree. Men talk as much as women? hmm.
Point: who blabbers more: mum or dad?.nuff said.

well i come to my own cause/argument/conclusion/hypothesis/POV on this topic.

easy.

• men talk when we feel like talking.
• we talk a lot to the ones we care. (that goes to you girls out there.get a hint!)
• we talk about stuff that we believe strongly in : cure global warming, save the earth, stuff we genuinely believe is true ; e.g. Man Utd sucks.
• to save space and words - speaking makes yr mouth dry. (not to mention keeping our mouths wet ; we dont wear lip balms or anything to keep the moist apart from drinking beer, coffee, coke etc.) this also increases actual meaningful output per line.
• we generally dont talk much.unless we get paid to do it.
• if guys do their part in calling the girl, its either becuz
  • its a matter of life and death
  • its a matter between Autobots and Decepticons
  • he thinks you’re worth the conversation
  • its a matter of locating the Allspark, or the One Ring.
  • he really digs (a.k.a. likes you a lot) you, and dnt mind losing few bucks for a good conversation.even just to say hi. guys generally dont call anyone who they dont fancy.again , unless its about locating the Allspark or the One Ring.
  • dont believe me? check their call logs. guys generally receive more calls, than calling out.

Enough on that article….

now.
please be informed that there will be a fireworks thinggy near the Putrajaya lake. read it in d papers today. cool! lost d paper, but if wanna know more, its arnd 2o-is August.Yay! heavenly for pyromaniacs. Yours Truly.

haze is back.wear yr masks.then again, good reason to call in sick huh? well, trying to be psychic here….im guessing its gonna get worse before it gets better.
July just started you know.

iPhone was just launched in the US.retailed somewhere arnd 500-600 bux(?) need to reconfirm on this. but calculate on say..3.4 rate…brings to around nearly sub       RM 2000.00 for us to get each.hmmm.

just an info i dug on the Iphone tho : i doesnt zoom, no buttons, just touchscrees, (so people with BARNEY thumbs will mispell "Public Relations" may mispell it as "Pubic Relations". or anything in dat style.) the interface is just like iPod Video! darn cool. but im skeptical whether its worth the money…..hmmm…

speaking of tech, notice almost 80% of us dont really use whats available on our phones? 3G, mms etc. how many use these tech anyway? i mean, i dont use 3G (darn.Digi dnt have dat service) , but in certain cases, super high end phone owners dont even have GPRS settings to their phones set up.and when told, the just know (then) that they can ACTUALLY SURF with their mobile.

buy expensive tech stuff, like a cam phone justt o snap, talk and type.and yeah, notice how foreign workers can afford these sort of phones, and their main use of it: download games, dangdut songs and porn from "suppliers" in the pasar malams.
err.brilliant.

notice how talent shows are popping out like there’s no tomorrow? well, lets ee where they end up huh.not good in my books.which come to mind, remember miss "oh-yes-she-does-look-kinda-hot-in-a-2 sizes-too-small-bikini-Hannah Tan "…?

well,i saw again her album poster the other day.darn she look good.but the music? i cant decide which one is trashier.im no music expert, but i used to think i can at least diff between cats wailing-while mating and some over hyped singer trying too hard.i cant.not with Hannah’s album tho.sorry.get back to hosting. (ohh dat s a mean one huh)

Rainforest Music festival in Kuching! miao!Nak Pergi! tapi takde duit! (Rahman…can bunk in yr place for free ka?hehehe….) … im a Sarawakian, and i only been to Kuching once! in the airport! while transit flight! Go figure! this ultimately superglues the tag "Sarawak Murtad" on me. aha.

LifeEarth concert : good that people start to get concerned of the Earth.hype works.hoo haa works. Al Gore is a genius. He’ll run for the US Prez one day.you’ll see.

So people, save the trees.Eat a beaver. save the oceans.dont cut down your tuna intake.its a waste if you do.

and walk.it will indirectly increase surgical masks sales during hazy times, which by d way, never effective in preventing the smog; inevitably you fall sick, call in sick for work,stay at home, will reduce commute to work, which in turn reduces ommited gas from cars etc. closes the ozone hole. and we all be happy.
IF ONLY ITS SO SIMPLE. *pause* NOT!

fact: you cant help global warming. what u expect frm 6 billion people? its a cycle. believe me.more people, more appliances, more garbage, more ignorance , more damage. nuff said.

best thing you can do? make profit from it. Al Gore is. Some chick who decided to print "I Am Not a Plastic Bag" on her cloth bag is.so join in d bandwagon. The LifeEarth commencing team is gettin truckloads of cash. again. its a cycle. Do you honestly think Snoop Dogg gives a rats ass on global warming? heck, he’d rather think of whats the best word to rhyme with  "coat tail;motel;wholesale;oh well" (dumb song with Akon!)

you cant escape. join in.it will die off. you too then , will ponder;what you got frm all of this? start investing.NOW.

and lastly : We still have kind hearted Malaysians around. saw a few people directing blind passengers near Sentral ystd, let that pakcik cut line, so the ticket counter attend to him first…giving away seats to the needy (old ladies, pregnant women), helping crashed-injured & bleeding Mat Rempits (eh…thats a wrong thing to do should snap the pic, and send to Star; stand a chance to win RM50 for yr pics!) ,and actually waving when you give them laluan during jam!

something to smile through, after a hectic week, and nearing our independence day.

till then, Decepticons Deeesssstttrrrooooyyyyyyy! "Whoo..oo..khe..khe…kheeek! "
