Ahead on My Way

Time: 10.35 a.m
Date: 27th December 2008

Well, this is it, folks, the moment that I have been waiting for. Almost 3 months ago I got the green light and the funding from me mum. Bless her heart. She went through loads of flak just so that I could live my dream. I guess my dreams of getting my children what they want at the age that I couldn’t afford such things aren’t mine only.

I’m typing this now because I know that by the time that I get up on that day I’ll be pretty busy rushing over to KLIA and I’m pretty busy now packing, tying up loose ends and managed to squeeze some time here to type this little post.

So yeah, I’m going to Dubai, folks. That’s right. The sunny ‘ol Middle East. The United Arab Emirates. That city with the 7 star hotel and the newest Atlantis Hotel. That’s the one. I’m going there to attend my friend’s, who’s also my housemate in 710 this year, Suheil’s wedding. It’s gonna be pretty slick, boy. Oh yeah, by the time you read this, I’ll be probably 10,000+ feet in the air, thousands of miles away or still sitting in the departure longue!

I’m going to be there for a week. So freakin’ awesome thinking about it I’m not getting much sleep! Choooiiiyyyy~

Happy holidays, people. Will try to update while I’m there. Peace out y’all!

P.S: The world’s on a warpath of revolution man, first, Obama as President and then Disney has decided not to produce the next third Narnia film! Glory!

Best Stop Motion. For Real

You know me. Obsessed with Legos. Obsessed with Brickfilms. As usual, I aspire to do something like that, but always lack the drive, resources and talent. Yeah, this’s me being humble!

But today I wanna show you some videos made by this dude, it ain’t Brickfilms, just stop motion junk. Here’s an appetizer of his shit.



Here’s something a bit more sicker. This dude’s fucking amazing!



Remember that popular video, “Evolution of Dance”? Here’s a refresher.



This dude did the same thing, much shorter but nevertheless damn impressive.



Here’s a little something that deviates from the stuff above. This could possibly be the 1st ever Brickfilm that is fucking amazing! Original storyline and amazing sequences and smooth as hell. Check it out!



Phew… huge post filled with YouTube shit. A’ite people. It’s time to come a little clean. Oh yeah, for those who check their FB accounts enough and look hard enough into other people’s junk, you’d probably know my destination in about, say, 3 days. Don’t spoil it for yourself, I’ll reveal the destination the morning I leave. And when I mean morning, yeah, morning, like wee hours that kinda shit. Peace out y’all!

It Happened

Yeah, a Christmas miracle happened. I… had given up hope. I had tossed it aside, accepted the facts and embraced the reality of it. I walked away.

But today, this Christmas morning, my ‘ol travellin buddy, God, instead of passing the usual cigarettes, passed me a blunt the size of my forearm. It was the shit. I guess all those Christmas shows really do have some shred of reality embedded in it. Everybody gets one.

It’s amazing, it’s truly fantastic and I’m anything but sarcastic. I am grateful, humble and ever lastingly thankful. I… am just glad. Smiling honestly from the bottom of my heart in a very, very long time. It may just be a small thing but it means a lot to me.

I hope you guys that are reading this experience your miracle as well. Merry Christmas everyone. Peace out y’all.

Stoked!

Yup, few up and coming events and games that I’m pretty stoked about… And also a hilarious video of Kat Williams doing his thing, check it out!



In commemoration of Final Fantasy’s 20th anniversary, was it 20th? I might have gotten it wrong… Square Enix, those money mongering fiends that know full well that we are powerless to resist the temptations of Final Fantasy goodness are releasing FF: Dissidia for the PSP! It’s a fighting game featuring the lead heroes and prominent villains from Final Fantasy 1 all the way to Final Fantasy 10! The roster for good guys are as follows, from FF1 to FF10, Warrior of Light, Firion, Onion Knight, Cecil Harvey, Bartz, Terra, Cloud, Squall, Zidane and Tidus. The baddies roster is a bit messed up ‘cause some of them are the final bosses while some aren’t. Baddies from FF1 to FF10 are Garland, The Emperor, Cloud of Darkness, Golbez (final boss was Zerom/Zeromus!), Exdeath, Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia (yeah, she’s the final boss but I rather Seifer as Squall’s nemesis), Kuja and Jecht. There are 2 secret characters in the games, 1 heroine from FF11 and a villain from FF12. Here’s a wallpaper Jillian passed on to me showing the heroes and villains roster. Heroes roster are in reverse order.

Here’re two videos, the first one is the opening for the game showing a short fight between all the characters at once and the second one showing the alternate costumes and EX modes for all characters. I’m not posting any gameplay videos ‘cause it’s a bit too low quality and you can hardly make out any real moves.




Choiy… Amazing shit eh? Well, I’m off then. Happy holidays. Peace out y’all.

So, Yeah...

I'm back in quiet 'ol Ipoh, for good. I'm done with Sunway. I'm mostly sad that finally after everything, my 3 years are up in Sunway University College and now I have to move on to Australia and then to the real world. I'm going to miss the people the most. The amazing people who have kept me laughing to the point that I wouldn't mind dying there and then because I was that happy. There is nowhere else in the world and no other people that I rather be with after being with each and every one of them after these three short years. I've seen my fair share of a sneak preview of every facet of life. I have seen love, found, lost and unreturned. I have seen death, my eventual one and of others. I have seen joy, found in the company of amazing individuals and in the smallest of events. I have reached the bottom, I have touched the sky. These are all but small but significant events that will be forever etched in my mind.

I have known long ago that uncertainty is certain and I leave these 3 years behind with a heavy but willing heart. Like the line goes, there is a beginning and there is an end.

So, cheers to you lads. Shakir, Piumi, Rikaz, Rushdi, Taqi, Rahul, Altaf, Raashid, Suheil, Zabrin, Nizmi, Azhan, Azim, Zahri, Nix, Nabilah, Yaseen, Rashmi... even to those that I only had a brief time to get to know you or barely know you at all over the years... V, Aisha, Jubu, Nabeel, Hana, Yusra, Sham... You VU lads, you might not be the sharpest in wit but still I can stand you guys!

Although this is not the absolute end, I felt that writing this either way was a form of conveyance to close one chapter, which I shall label it in a extremely cliched and absoutely uncreative way, the Sunway Chronicles. If now only I can find a way to put all these links under a different section...

Whatever it is, this is it. I've reached the end of the rope for this time. It's time to catch and cling on to another. Peace out y'all.

FUCK AUSTRALIA!
FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
FUCK THE SYSTEM!
FUCK THE VISA!
FUCK VU!!!!

ARRGGHH!!!!

The Prince of... Where Was It Again?

Watch the video first...

That's right. The surviving gay cowboy is the Prince of Persia. Persia. Gee... was that country in the west... Or the Orient? No... Hmmm... But Jake Gyl-Brokeback Cowboy #2 is white... And Persia... doesn't exactly have people THAT fair-skinned. What is going on here?!

Alright, feigned stupidity aside, this is exactly what Paul Mooney warned us about in his segment "Mooney on Movies" on the Chappelle show ages ago. First, they did The Mexican , starring Brad Pitt. Then they did the Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise. And I quote, from Mr. Mooney himself, "Maybe I'll write a film and then Hollywood would produce it - The Last Nigger on Earth, starring Tom Hanks". Hehehehehe...

Seriously... When will Hollywood get it straight? Prince of Persia starring Brokeback Cowboy #2. Yeah, sure. However, despite this little, how do we say... indiscrepancy, I am pretty stoked to see how this film turns out. Let's see if they can get the transition from video game to film right this time.

Peace out y'all.

Breaking All the Rules


Jason Statham is back once again to wow us with his slick driving skills that make the Paul Walker look like Jarvis driving Tony Stark, ass-kicking that makes Stone Cold blush and baldness that would make even Lex Luthor envious.

Huh, that’s a pretty slick intro, if I do say so myself. I astound myself sometimes.

Once again, Frank Martin is the Transporter and like all the previous movies, a reluctant one and one that is willing to break all his own rules, oddly enough. He is “asked politely” to transport some cargo in the trunk and a hot (and awfully freckly) Russian hottie, Valentina. As usual, it’s never easy. First movie he decided to help the chick out, he brought it onto himself. 2nd one he had an obligation and I think he was framed for it, I think… Now this one, is a bit more interesting, albeit innovative, involves a sort of chemical time bomb latched on his wrist and the chick’s that will blow them into next Tuesday if they get too far from the car. This restriction in their movement provides many incredible action scenes as Frank compensates for the lack of mobility outside the car and some rather amusing scenes as well.

Not as many fight scenes in this one as one would prefer, but it should compensate with the driving. Tarconi’s on board for this one as well and he’s still provides solid comic relief with his offhand statements and observations.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 3.5/5 – A solid film. Good for wasting time, seeing as it is the holidays.

It’s an action flick, it’s one for the masses. Have at it!

Inspired by Cloverfield


Yep, these guys were either feeling the groove of Cloverfield or they just are the same dudes who did Cloverfield.

Not much I can say regarding the story, linear, predictable and downright fucking scary man! It’s friggin’ awesome in the scare department… After watching GP506, that faggy Korean movie, I needed a horror movie with some shock value and Quarantine delivered, motherfucker.

It’s a scarefest from 1/4th of the beginning and until the end. In Cloverfield at least they had the city to run around in, but you only get 4 floors and an attic in Quarantine, dude. It’s gotta be wicked.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 4/5 - For those who loved Cloverfield and shock horror, this is the one.

I still can’t believe that there are twats out there who say, “I didn’t like Cloverfield because of the camera shaking all the time and I didn’t see the monster a lot”. Sagely advice for those paper here… Buy a skirt, wear it. Now you need to get out of the closet and tell your parents what you really are. Seriously. They won’t blame you, they’ll blame boy bands, Korea and perhaps most solo male artistes. If you’re a girl that DOESN’T like Cloverfield, then well, you’re just a wittle girl that got scared when the monstwer came out... Awww…

On a More Personal Note

Yes, movie review time is over. Now for a little me time. Mum called today while I was out. Told me that relatives were burning holes into her head and back for letting me off on my little adventure. Well, no offence to them, they’ve been kind, generous and caring but seriously, I am 20 years old and I am shifting the gears in my life.

I feel kinda bad putting my mum in this position but I promised myself that no matter what, I will have my adventure! Had a lot more steam when I was talking to my mum regarding these relatives but… I guess they only have my interests at heart but they should ease off the harsh words. People do crazy things for their kids. My adventure happens to be one of them. God bless me mum.

Peace out y’all.

Dark Horse


Nickelback’s latest album, ladies and gents… It’s a pretty generic album with them not doing anything out of the ordinary with their sound and continuing with what works best with them, that baritone styrofoam on styrofoam voice, heavy riffs and all about love and sex.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m just alright with this album, being able to pick out two particular songs that I really like about their style. The heavy riffs, fast beats and totally unadulterated lyrics about how to do your woman right and the glory of the act itself.

These 2 songs are Next Go Round and S.E.X. You can check out the songs on YouTube, no video yet, just audio and probably with lyrics rolling.

S is for the simple need
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot ‘cause that’s what you really want~


Fucking amazing lyrics right there. You can download it via torrent or through Phaze, whichever way you want it.

Disturbing Superhero Conduct


Found this hilarious photo on a group on Facebook called Unintentional Porn which has all these amazing photos of well, unintentional porn. There’s another 1 that should fit just fine here in this category but it’s a bit too graphic. It’s a picture of Batman and Robin with Robin’s face covered in white goo. The expression on their faces are just… classic.

Other News

Well, just got done with my IEF supplementary exam! I don’t really care about the results now, going to check it after my li’l adventure. Alrighty then, happy holidays. Peace out y’all!

Excerpt from My Psyche Report

Note: The following are ideas and notions that are purely for comical purposes. Peruse and read as such. Any hating will not be tolerated. Feedback is encouraged to a certain degree. Enjoy.

9.00 am

The patient walked in dazed and confused, apparently adjusting to his new surroundings. His arms are tied to his sides by a straightjacket and accompanied by armed guards. He wobbles over to the easy chair that’s placed 45 degrees from my view. He turns his head slowly at me and starts telling me his latest story of insanity…

I’m just messing with you guys. I had this crazy idea last night while talking to Azhan about marriage, religion and finding the big picture over some of Nizmi’s amazing Dubai chocolates and a sheesha. Good times.

We somehow went towards the Destroyer, the biblical character that will one day cause mankind to fall to its lowest and thus probably trigger the next Enlightenment or the Second Coming.

Then we were talking about Barack Obama, newly elected President of the USA. Despite his controversial background and heritage (to the Americans, I suppose) he has managed to wow and capture not only the people of his country but from other nations as well that have less than pleasant relations with the United States. He is a charismatic person and probably the symbol of hope and change that has never been this strong for a very, very long time.

9.15 a.m

As the patient babbles on with his backstory to his point, I start doodling on my notepad, not paying any attention to him. However, his next sentences might be the ones that might make me think I’m crazy. This is because for some reason… I believe him. I really do. Help me.

It’s almost a miracle, that a country like the USA (the following sentences are purely my own opinion and should be taken in good humour) who are God-fearing, Muslim-bashing, KKK enthusiasts and the epitome of sickening patriotism and self-righteousness, would actually elect a president, who is 1st of all, black and has Muslim ties.

These people have paid attention to him, been captivated by him and cried for him when he got elected. If my spidey-sense is right, Barack Obama may be potentially the greatest human there will be and will be ultimately the salvation of mankind OR he will be the Destroyer. He, as the underdog, not just any normal underdog, but one with uh… qualities that are not easily tolerated in the American society has not only won the election by a landslide but inspired millions of people in his nation and others as well, as I have mentioned. It’s jaw-dropping and freakishly scary, if you ask me.

Just… think about it. It works out all too well. I hope that my delusions are mere delusions. I would hate for it to be true, but you have been warned.

11.45 am

I clutch my notepad in disbelief as he finishes his story. Those insane eyes drill into my own with a sense of honesty and certainty that I can’t shake. I have made my decision. I pray that I am doing the right thing

13.50 pm

With disbelief and astonishment running through my veins, I stare back at the supermax asylum behind me with the lights dim and sirens dying into the distance. I have been convinced. Whoever who finds this, I leave you with your assumptions of my sanity and his. But I leave you with a line at the end of these notes.

Peace out y’all.

Fortune Reversal

Fuck… results are out and the eventual happened. I failed one paper. What hurts me the most is that I failed the paper I thought I’d pass – AMC. I knew I raped it! Shyte man… This is fucked up. At least I passed the one that I thought I’d fail. I predicted I would get at least supplementary for my IEF and I sure did.

Now I have to deal with grief and study for another fucked up paper.

*sigh*

Tis’ not a good day, ladies and gents. Tis’ not a good day…

200th Post

Oh snap… I’ve made it this far on this blog, eh? Wow… I wish I had something epic to write about this post, like going somewhere exquisite for a vacation or actually passing all my subjects!
Well, so far it’s been a swell journey for this blog… I still have no idea regarding the number of people who are actually reading this thing but somehow I get the feeling that the right amount of people and the right people are reading this. Of course, you guys are my lovely audience and this blog has no one to thank but you guys for your silence and rare comments.

=P

No, but in all seriousness, it’s good to know I’ve come this far.

For the Love of Nosferatu



Since I was back in Ipoh during the holidays, it would be criminal to not hang out with these dudes at least once. So, I went to watch a movie with them. I didn’t really care what I was watching, really. I didn’t even mind watching Bolt or GP506 all over again, seriously.

So we ended up watching Twilight. I always thought this was a TV series before this, but evidently not, after some digging. Entered the cinema about 5 minutes later just to see our star vampire, Edward Cullen staring unashamedly at our heroine. A few things I’d like to say about her character. It’s unbelievably bogus. I know characters in stories are meant to fit in well within the parameters in your story. Like how, a sci-fi movie should have a robot, cyborg and an alien duke it out, or how a knight needs to slice the cockles off the dragon with his long and shiny blade (Tenacious D reference there) or how Tobey Maguire needs to whine incessantly about his double life and seem over-soppy about it. Okay, that last one didn’t really apply.

This chick is way too perfect for the story. She’s madly in love with the vampire, not afraid of him, completely aware of the various ways this could end, and somehow managed to keep it cool with the Cullens. There’s no conflict! It’s like that Family Guy short where they find one sitcom annoyingly stupid because the room mates in the show always get together.

“Hey man, I’m gonna get a pizza. You fine with anchovies?”

“Yeah, sure, why not? Anything for you buddy!”

Geez… Anyhoo…

Special effects are alright ‘cept when he scales the pines. The baseball part was cool. The chick sometimes looks distractingly hot. And the new spin on the vampire lore was somewhat interesting and the vegetarian part… I’ve seen that on Angel.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 2.5/5 – Another dreary end-of-the-year movie.

A’ite… that’s another movie review done. I think I’d have to download Quarantine for full goriness. Wonder what’s next that’s up for release? Hmm…

3 things that I’m worried about right now: Results, Australia and the adventure. Yeah, in that order. *sigh*

I’m predicting the results to come out before the 4th of December, seeing as there was an announcement regarding the supplementary examination meeting for BL students. Seeing as today is the last day of November, it shall be probably three torturous days of waiting and anticipating. Man… this is gonna suck bad.

Peace out y’all.

Bolt


After Madagascar 2, I had a completely new and revamped view towards animated films. Besides, I am on holiday, so I went to check out Bolt, the extremely-misguided superdog! At least that’s true for about 35% of the movie.

What follows next, or rather, pretty much the whole movie is your typical, kiddy movie storyline with that one part where happy scenes fly by with a nice song going on until they run into another problem.

Initially I was pretty skeptical about watching this movie ‘cause that buck-toothed bitch Miley Cyrus was the voice-over for one of the rather main characters. I hate Disney tweens a lot. I partially disliked Hilary Duff, couldn’t bother with Raven and definitely would shoot Cyrus in the kneecaps. As if they couldn’t fuck up even further with 1 tween queen every 3-7 years, they brought out a whole new bunch of fags to bag the cash for them. Yeah, you know who I’m talking about… those HSM motherfuckers.

Voice acting was pretty slick on Bolt, Mittens and Rhino’s part. Oh, I forgot to mention that I did watch the whole movie in 3D! Absolutely amazing effect but there were some scenes that I thought they could’ve utilized the 3D effect a lot more other than just making characters seemingly float in the air or the “walk through glass” effect.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 3/5 – Bring the kids or your juvenile lala boyfriend/girlfriend

Football Manager 2009 - *UPDATE*

Choiy… Gone through a lot more tough matches, I have faced a couple of big dogs and am still gonna have to go through a few more big dogs. I have 3 more Premiership matches to go, the ECC finals and the Champion’s League Final to go. My main man, wonderkid Mario Balotelli has been chalking up goals still but not as much as the beginning ‘cause the fame and success has gotten his head way bloated. Anyone has any idea how to deflate huge footballer egos besides giving the match away?

I seriously can’t afford to give any matches away at this point. Every single one of them from here on in is imperative towards football domination! Maybe I’ll lose a friendly match during downtime. Alright then, peace out y’all.

Welcome to Atlantis

Them Dubai people sure know how to throw a party. You may find the city’s name synonymous with amazing structures such as the Burj Al Arab and other architectural insanities like the Palms and the World. Now, they have unveiled a new resort that rivals the aforementioned wonders of Dubai. Check this out, this is the opening ceremony for the newest wonder that they can offer, Atlantis.



I’ve heard plenty from these guys regarding this place. Instead of waking up to the glorious sunshine of the Middle East, you wake up to the vision of marine life swimming around your room. That’s right. It’s motherfucking underwater, baby! Damn, I lost my mail which had some awesome pictures of the interior and exterior of the place.

Football Manager 2009


I have no idea how I started playing but it’s just that this past year I’ve been really getting into football… Yeah, a bit late, I know so this game is pretty interesting for me. Started it off by managing Arsenal, a frustrating club when losing but amazing when it’s scoring goals like Britney pops babies. Arsenal starts off with an insane budget in the beginning, man! 72 million pounds to play with! I almost could’ve rivaled Man City’s budget! I bought wonderkid Balotelli who’s now my top scorer next Adebayor and midfielder Adrian Mutu and another dude, Mustapha Sali-something. The latter two are alright but so far Balotelli’s my best young ‘un.

Alright, shall not bore ye to death, then. Happy holidays, everyone! Peace out y’all!

I’m Done, Son!

Oh praise ye souls, I’m done! Finally, after an eternity of studying and lonely dinners. Okay, that last part was added for flair but not a complete fib. IEF was fucked up, really don’t wanna talk about it. MR was bad as well… Urgh, it is better to know that you fucked up than being unsure. Screw the finals… What’s done is done. No point worrying.

So after MR (‘twas an afternoon paper), I went home to catch some Zs before going to gym at 6 and then Euphoria at around 10. 1st time going there even though the place’s been there for quite awhile and I literally live next to it. In the end I didn’t go to gym ‘cause it was raining like God was taking that long piss right after you wake up. So I took a longer nap but it was riddled with calls and messages that I can’t even remember was about what…

Anyways, Euphoria is fucking amazing. I seriously don’t mind just going alone to enjoy the music. The Deq plays some pretty slick techno and the chairs and the setting was just suave, man. Just kicked back and relaxed with a beer in hand and just drifted away into the beats. Later we went up to the dance floor where we had a table right by the dance floor. I’m sure most of you know how the place is set up but those smoke machines are the shit, man. Smells like freakin’ sheesha when you walk into it. The music that the DJ was playing was freakin’ amazing… Rock, R&B, some oldies… Choiy, man.

Smells Like Teen Spirit, Song 2, You Give Love a Bad Name, Keep ‘Em Seperated, Wonderwall and even Best of You… He managed to mix all that shit into his set. The rest he mixed with beats and some other shit and he played only one Akon song that I was aware of and Whatever You Like by T.I. That’s one of the songs that I’m super addicted to right now for sure dude. I was jumping like a maniac for the rock songs man. To me it’s like super rare to hear rock songs in clubs but fuck… God bless Euphoria. I also met a few VU people there and even met a few old friends there. Freakin’ amazing night, man. I found that Joe was working there, that was cool… Can call in a few favors when I need a spot there.

This happened to be the 1st that Kang Wei got pissed ass drunk ‘cause every time we went down to the dance floor he got crazier and crazier and eventually he puked in the bathroom. Nasty shit. Well, I shall spare all details as I guess everyone involved doesn’t need this going around but in the end, I got back home at 7 a.m.

Ah… a great start to the holidays. Now, I shall go enjoy my nothingness and non-hectic-ness. Peace out y’all.

End of the Line

It seemed like only yesterday that I told people my plans regarding my degree. It’s always been so easy to say, “Yeah, I’m going to Australia for my final year”. Truth is, it’s not easy, and I don’t particularly fancy the idea of going. I never did, just because I never thought about it. It’s just so freakin’ troublesome sometimes. It’s hard for me to go and it doesn’t exactly help to make the transition harder. Urgh. Fuck it. When I get there, I get there.

Anyways… still 2 exams down, 2 more to go, namely, IEF and MR, the 2 biggest bastards for this semester. I think I need a bit more time to ace these 2 motherfuckers but alas, as always, time is never on your side when you need it. Fuck this shit, man. All I need to do now is to finish up my past year papers and hope that they come out in the finals. I can do that for IEF but unfortunately, not for MR. Damn it.

Missed out on a few movie reviews since my Opera was fucking around with Blogger’s post Javascript. Couldn’t post pictures or highlight words, freakin’ hell. Going to watch Quarantine and that Guard Post movie after I’m done with this shit. I already watched Quantum of Solace and Madagascar 2. If you have 11 bucks in your pants and you’re standing in line at TGV or GSC, I suggest you better watch Madagascar 2. I had an “animated movies are just crappy” attitude when all these alleged animation greats came out, Ice Age, Madagascar and all these junk but after Madagascar 2… Heh heh heh, this one is something else, dude.

A’ite then, not much to say until the end of exams, I suppose. Oh right, small news. My new Merc is coming in soon.

Choooiiiiyyyyy~

A’ite… That’s all fer now. Peace out y’all!

Tuh-agged

I decided to humour Danny’s latest post and do this thang. I have much more important things to do but I decided to break the monotony. Here we go…

Remove one question from below and add in your personal question. Make a total of 20 questions and tag 8 people. List them out at the end of the post. Notify them in their cbox that they've been tagged. Whoever does the tag will have blessings from all.

1. What’s your ambition?
It’s either be successful businessman or a professional student.

2. Who is more important to you? Friends or boy/girlfriend?
Both, actually. They both can offer you different things in life.

3. How often do you think of committing suicide?
Often… No. Have, a handful. Ever tried listening to a girl with an IQ that could prove that our species is devolving?

4. Do you think you have enough confidence?
To a haphazard level, yeah.

5. Do you believe that what goes around comes around?
Karma, baby. It makes the world go round…

6. Do you believe in God?
I can’t hate something I don’t believe in, so, yeah.

7. Do you believe in eternity love?
I believe in ‘til death do us part.

8. What's a perfect girlfriend/boyfriend like to you? (List 10)
Same interests, sense of humour and definitely someone you can spend sleepless nights just talking to.

9. What's a worst girlfriend/boyfriend like to you?
One who uses you for what you have.

10.What feeling do you love most?
Being high. C’mon, that was damn simple!

11. What is your bad habit?
Heh… Absolutely embarrassing, for sure. Pass, for your sakes, not mine.

12. Is there anything you wanna tell the people who hates you?
I doubt there’s any people out there who do, but if there are… I’d probably tell them to suck it up, ‘cause the world’s not a nice place and you definitely deserved what I said or did ‘cause that’s how I roll, motherfucker. Yeah~

13. Do you cherish every single friendship of yours?
No, because there are some people that I am only friends with are out of formality or out of my need of wanting them to help me accomplish something significant.

14. What does flying means to you?
Laga laga laga laga~

15. What do you currently crave for the most?
What I want now exactly is going to spoil my special surprise for majority of my readers so I’ll leave that. What I want after that is definitely a meaningful relationship with a girl that I truly wish she’d feel the same way as I do her.

16. Have you ever regretted any decisions that you have made? If yes, briefly describe it.
Definitely. Who hasn’t? Spare me the tough guy talk. I regret not getting to know my dad better. It doesn’t really count as a regret ‘cause I was too young to understand that there will be times that I needed stories and experience to live in this world.

Taqi’s Farewell – Part 2

Yeah, this’s way overdue but what the hell, cut me some slack, I have exams too, you know. In fact, just had one today, Consumer Behaviour… I raped that paper wide open, baby… Bun pardo! Messed up quite a bit on Section B, but should be a’ite. Section A was okay… just forgot 3 or 4 of the terms’ definitions. Definitely aced Section C… all the shit I memorized came out and I blabbed bullshit for the part Bs and examples for that shit. Yeah~!

*ahem*

The day after the barbeque, Andre decided to take Taqi out for dinner at Ampang for 1 last time at the usual Arabic/Middle-Eastern food + sheesha places. I must confess that I am one of the worst drives especially when it comes to directions. So I decided to enlist the help of Dion’s GPS so I wouldn’t get fucking lost on the way.

Just comes to show how bad a driver I am… I can’t even freakin’ follow the freakin’ bitch’s voice from the GPS! So after much turning and twisting in the concrete jungle of KL, we finally got to the gas station near Great Eastern Mall.

We had dinner, watched the Man Utd v Hull City game, amazing match that was and had some amazing sheesha. Service was horrendous, though. I do hate foreign help. Foreign people that OPEN the restaurants or shops are alright. The foreign people WORKING for them are horrible. Usually it’d be Banglas, Indons and Indians that floated over on a plank. Pink would be one of the good examples of incompetent foreign help at times. Watching their co-ordination is like watching the paraplegic synchronized swimming event.

Anyways, yeah, food was good and we decided to take one last picture before we left the place.


We were joking so much about how Andre would miss Taqi like how he would be in one of those shower scenes sobbing on the ground with the water running and drawing a heart with an arrow piercing it with Taqi’s name in it on the steamed glass. Amazing shit.

It’ll be a boring year next year if I was staying.

See you real soon, dude.

Beginning of an Adventure – Liftoff


3 more exams to go, just need to pass them, stay disease-free, injury-free and death-free. As in, no close friends/relatives passing away. Had a fair dose this year, thank you very much. 44 more days to go. Peace out y’all!

Taqi’s Farewell – Part 1

Written: 2nd of November, 2008

Have been waiting for pics and pics alone before I could post this one. Enjoy, everybody!

After months of suffering with ACCA, Taqi decided it was high time that he called it quits to keep trying to finish it in Malaysia. So, he made the decision to go back to Dubai for good and hopefully finish up there. Seeing as he was leaving for good, a few of us had decided to get him a gift and perhaps a BBQ party. It was all a surprise, of course. Over the course of three weeks, people have been trying to make this all happen, particularly Rikaz and Rushdi. Not much had happened over the three weeks ‘cept getting some people to pay up. Only the mug and the booking of the venue were last minute.

Funny story about the mug… Not so funny on my end but exceptionally satisfying nonetheless. Me, Rushdi and Shraddha went to Central Market to get the mug done. What we had in mind was to put a couple of jokes that we had all shared with Taqi on it and the list was quite a long one. We found the biggest mug the store had to offer and we still had to chop off quite a few jokes from the list. Here’re some of the things written on the mug from the top of my head.

“Power extreme treme treme” – From the Centurions, apparently

“Melaka toilet” – A true Malaysian public toilet story

“Wheelbarrow” – The position that no one wants to be in

“Fire truck with the ladder up and broken glass” – Don’t ask…

“Spicy milk” – A pervert’s misunderstanding to great effect

“San…Fran…Cisco!” – Good times, good times…

Anyways, here’s the funny story. After we were done, we took the KTM during rush hour back to Subang Jaya. Shit, now I know how people feel. It’s so bloody packed! I’d make a joke about sardines but hell, this just wasn’t funny. From Carrefour we took a cab back for 12 bucks seeing as there was the usual jam. Seriously, with so much concrete per square mile, one would expect cars to be flying here and there with so many alternative routes around. We got off at Sunway Monash Condo to drop Shraddha off and I had the mug in hand. I placed it on the top of the cab and I stopped to calculate the cost of the ride. Next thing I knew was the passenger side door slamming and the revving of the cab’s engine. The cab turned into the road and off towards SunMed… with the mug on top.

Fucking hell

Believe it or not, I started chasing the damned cab. No hesitation, no quip, just adrenaline pumping outta my ears! Three quarters of the way to SunMed I finally caught up with the cab. The driver had seen me running and when I reached he had turned back and looked at me through the passenger side window. All I heard was something about being lucky and shit like that. I got the mug. It was better than scoring a goal. It was better than bitch slapping a ho. I felt like Usain Bolt winning the Olympics. Walked back the way I came slowly, clutching the mug with a grin of a winner. After what seemed like a fast-forward tape of tragedy in progress, this seemed like a slow-mo scene of a hard-fought glorious victory as I walked passed the condo bus stop to a clapping Rushdi. Took me awhile to catch my breath.

Eventually night came and these guys went down to prepare the food and stuff at the BBQ pit. The plan was for Raashid to go ask Taqi to go down for a swim for one last time, for old time’s sake. Seeing as the party wasn’t going to start until Raashid had returned, I waited at home playing Max Payne with the highly-acclaimed Kung Fu mod.

After a beer with Rahul to make sure Taqi was staying put at home, I went down a bit smashed and soaked my head in the pool trying to stop the fire that was going on in my noggin. Taqi eventually came with Raashid and then we all started. Check it out…



Trying not to be caught off guard, Taqi gave a wide smile for the surprise



Chefs hard at work



Me and Piumi enjoyin the food



He loves the chilli BBQ chicken, apparently



The Lagoonview gang

It was quite a manageable crowd. The Lagoonview gang had come, Jeremy had come for a bit, and 710 was there, obviously and definitely 706 and 709. Shazwan was at a gig at KDU, apparently.

The party only started when Azim got dunked into the pool. I was supposed to be the 1st one in but plans changed. I knew it was coming so I took off my shirt before they could try anything. Just stood by the edge waiting and suddenly Zabrin grabbed me from behind and jumped in with me in tow. It felt like I was caught in landslide and it had brought me tumbling into the raging river far below amidst a hail of boulders. Bodies started flying everywhere into the pool and eventually after catching all the stragglers we all jumped into the pool together. Good times…



Azim goes in first after a change of threads



A couple of people that went down with him



Piumi trying to struggle out of getting dunked but...



D'oh... Heh heh heh heh...



The sheesha corner

TO BE CONTINUED

Damn... Freaking ass long post. Peace out y’all!

P.S: Lifts have been fixed! WOOHOO!
P.P.S: SL United made it through the group stage with 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw by goal difference!
P.P.P.S: NAAASSSRIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!! In your face, Man Utd!

Tropic Thunder



Get some!!!!

I have no idea where to start this review off… Let’s go with the cast, shall we? Nothing short of a star-studded cast, that’s one thing for sure. We got Kung Fu Panda, Zoolander, Iron Man and Jerry Maguire. Oh wait, Jerry Maguire isn’t in the movie, you say? Nah man, sure he isn’t. Just look closely. It’ll be quite a surprise. Heh heh heh…

The story itself is a joke itself but the shit these idiots do is hilarious. Initially they keep thinking that when they’re dropped into a warzone they’re all alone but only some of them realize that something kooky is going on especially when their director accidently steps onto an old French landmine left in the last war. Only Tugg Speedman (Stiller) doesn’t know that they are dealing with the Flaming Dragons, a ruthless bunch of guerilla heroin manufacturers. The rest of them split with him and turn around but eventually go into the heart of the Flaming Dragons’ base to rescue him when he gets captured. Even when they start torturing Stiller he still thinks he’s still acting. Just hilarious.

Jack Black’s character is doubly insane as he goes on the whole withdrawal symptom thing when his stash of coke gets snagged by a bat and he actually goes to chew the thing alive when it ODs on the coke. Total nasty hilarity right there! The shit he says when he’s going through withdrawal is mad! Just mad, I tell you.

Shit, I can’t say much about the movie ‘cause it’s just going to give everything away.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 4/5 – If it wasn’t for the damn Malaysian censors….

Just download it for the full effect but it is funny enough with the censors on full throttle.

Beginning Of An Adventure



64 days to go...

Now to stay injury-free, disease-free and be a good boy… And study hard, of course! Hehehhee… Peace out y’all!

Max Payne



The man with nothing to lose

“They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation point to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger and then it was all over” – Max Payne

They seriously should’ve re-enacted famous scenes from the game like this one, man. The snow whipping around the busted up rooftop and Max Payne just standing there with that silly constipated smile of his.

Instead they fucked up the story. You can count in 3 figures the amount of bullets dispensed in the movie, most being from a SWAT-like team spraying MP5s on Max Payne. A movie adaptation for Max Payne should have as much shooting as Wanted or hell, Shoot ‘Em Up! The only shooting that happens is in the last quarter of the movie.

What the fuck were these people thinking?! The body count in the game racks up to about 400 dead! There were hardly 50 guys dead in this movie! Damn, man… They messed up big time on this movie and I have no idea where to begin. They left out the whole mob war between Angelo Punchinello and Vladimir, the bank robbery at Roscoe Street Station where everything started, the creepy cult part where Lupino is and what the fuck was with the whole black angels thing, man?! Where're the Finitos? Where's Vinnie?! All those guys that I shot so much back in the day... *sigh*

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 1.5/5 – I’m just biased ‘cause I loved that game, man.

They took everything that made the game great away, man. Fuck these bastards. Only thing that I could deal with was the muttering part that Max does best. Mark Wahlberg pulled that one off nicely. Other than that, nothing. Peace out y’all.

That Last One

Phew, I can’t believe we’re up to that damned final assignment of the semester, and the year, for that matter! It’s the Marketing Research one and we need to compile the final report. It has a word limit of 3000 words and is a group assignment. Shouldn’t sound too tough but the lecturer’s a bitch so she’ll chew our ears off even if we try to ask her during consultation hours. Geez…

Anyways, good news and bad news! At the same time, actually, for the same thing. I got my offer letter to VU Melbourne! Feel happy that I made it through (assuming I pass everything in the finals, that is) and also sad that I am leaving so much behind. It feels kinda like I haven’t done enough here yet. It’s unlike leaving Ipoh where you get that, “FINALLY I’m out of this place!” feeling. Ah, whatever. Take things as they come, I guess.

Disaster Movie



This is just one of the many posters out there

At this point, I have no idea what to say about this movie. It’s a spoof of all things recent, popular and mainly centers around the theme of a disaster movie. They have fucked with High School Musical, JT, Hannah Montana, Night at the Museum, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Enchanted and of course, Step Up 2.

I hate High School Musical with a vengeance, truth be told. They should’ve made it worse for those little motherfuckers. Come to think of it, Hannah Montana too, that buck-toothed bitch. Glad to see her pinned down by a huge ass meteor.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 2.5/5 – Download it.

Watch out for those chipmunks by the way. Peace out y’all!

Fury



Some of the moves are just too damn painful to take in the head!

There’re two things for certain that you can rely on the Thais for, good horror movies and good action movies. I remember that horror movie I watched about a year ago, that was about one dead twin haunting the twin that was alive. Real creepy stuff.

Fury is basically an action film that heavily relies on its perfectly choreographed Muay Thai fight scenes. The story tells of a Thai gang lord’s daughter/lover falling in love and ending up having a baby with a Japanese senior gang member. The Thai gang lord is definitely way pissed at the Japanese dude and he goes out of the way to make life miserable for the two of them.

Eventually the mother gives birth to her child, a little girl called Zen. The story tells us that she is autistic but I think the actresses that played her from childhood to adulthood had no idea what are the implications of autism. They tried hard but it definitely doesn’t add up to the real deal. Anyways, when she grows up, she develops a real fascination for Muay Thai and kicks at a wooden pole for quite some time and does other stuff related to it. She also develops inhuman reflexes when she can catch and dodge objects thrown at her simultaneously. She does all this with the help from a childhood friend called Moom.

Her mother develops cancer when the Zen’s pretty much 20-ish years old. Moom decides to cash in on Zen’s uncanny abilities to make some cash by public shows. Eventually a gang tries to crash in on their show and Zen proceeds to knock the living daylights out of them. Pretty soon Moom discovers that they can’t make enough money to fund her mum’s chemotherapy and luckily he finds a small book that lists down all the people that owe her money from the time she was a gangster.

This is when the fun starts. The debtors start refusing and set their lackeys after Moom and Zen and she proceeds to kick the stuffing out of these punks in painful and acrobatic style. They fight in an ice breaking factory, a packaging factory then in a night meat market. The best sequence was definitely the night meat market ‘cause there were cleavers being thrown around and the way some of the guys were dispatched were just painful. The best part was Zen threw a broken rake that acted like a spear towards the head honcho of the meat market. It missed him but he backed up straight into a nail almost 3 inches into his ass. As he tried to struggle out of the nail, Zen kicks him in the stomach into the nail again.

What happens after all the ass-kicking is just important to the storyline and some awesome moves. Just go watch the damn thing, people!

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 4/5 – The Thai language sounds so annoying! No offense meant. =P

Definitely worth 8/10/11 bucks. I don’t think GSC is filming out although I saw the ad there 1st, in 1 Utama. I watched the midnight show at TGV, Pyramid. Alright then, bet it’s assignment season for everyone so good luck with you work! Peace out y’all!

P.S: Had a minor accident last night on my way to Asia. Damned lady driving an old Honda Civic stopped sideways in the middle of the road right in freaking front of me! I couldn’t brake the Kelisa in time and knocked into the left side door. Dude sitting in the passenger seat looked like a deer caught in headlights. Since I was the one at the biggest risk here if the fuzz got involved, I just paid the mofo 200 bucks and settled that shit. Suheil’ll give me the cost of repairs on his car later. The metal’s scrapping the right front tyre every time I made a left.

You're Never Too Old

Nope. Age is just a state of mind. Like pain. At least that’s what the huge Mighty Duck keeps saying. Well, folks, I managed to scrounge up some cash and I went on to knock off another item in my juvenile shopping list. This time, I went again for Lego!



Bless the Danish...

I was planning to take these chicks to KLCC one day while all these dudes were at Redang/Terengganu and then buy it then but people made plans, got busy and the such. So, I waited for my mum to come on Sunday and went to KLCC after lunch with my grandma. Bless her heart, coming all the way at least twice a week to see us. Damn, that sounded so unlike me. The Toys R Us there only stocked the newer Lego Batman sets such as the Tumbler and a few other sucky vehicles that had other villains like Harley Quinn. Oh yeah, that particular set had a lousy attempt at the Batpod.

Anyways, I managed to get my hands on this, the Lego Batwing. It comes along with Joker’s helicopter too! Check this shit out…



Complete with railguns and Joker Smilex bombs



Classic Tim Burton design



See, the sucker's as large as my laptop!



Back view. It also comes with railguns and a missle launcher at the tail

My brother also bought one set. I would’ve chose it too if I was him. It’s the largest cargo plane in the Lego City series. Check it out.



Old style cargo craft



Plane crew on duty



Joker and his henchman planning some shit to go down

Pretty tight, eh? It’s a real simple set compared to my Batwing set. The nose, tail and the upper body of the plane are whole pieces, so all you have to do is put in the connectors and then snap them together. The little fellas with the car, stairs and cargo lifter are simple stuff, too. The whole set’s so simple that they don’t even offer alternative designs unlike all the rest that I’ve seen before.

Puppies!

Was around SS15 Monday afternoon and Rushdi and I stumbled into some pet store. While he was busy choosing some cat food and stuff for Kundy, I snapped a few pictures of these pair of puppies



Took some effort to rap the glass



Took more effort to get this 2nd bugger to look



Back to their nap

Funny thing about dogs is that they stop being cute when they’re older and can either get really ugly or just… normal, unless it’s one hell of a dog. Cats are cute when they’re small, as always. Still kinda cute when they’re like teenagers and just elegant when they’re older. Either that or they’re ugly from birth. At least they’re honest, in some sense. Hahahahha…

Alright then, I guess that’s it. Got some major assignment ass to get kicking. Wish me luck! Peace out y’all!

I Know Who Fucked Me



SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Damn, that movie was more than just a waste of time, it was horrible in every aspect, it creeped the fuck out of me, it was messy and it had the cheesiest soundtrack that I can remember.

To relieve you of your curiosity towards the movie’s plot, I will give you enough. First of all, Lindsay Lohan goes back to basics and redoes her twin act! She plays exotic dancer (and possibly hooker) Dakota Moss and also good girl Audrey Fleming. They are twins separated at birth and they have a rare paranormal condition called stigmata. Or something like that. It basically means that they can somehow peer into each other’s lives if they concentrate hard enough and share the same pain if one endures it.

Basically the thing here is that Audrey is kidnapped by some psychopath who is actually her piano teacher. This guy is sick and so is the director. They had bleeped out every swear word save for 2 “fucks”. Anyways, this guy had kidnapped beautiful girls, roughly late teens or early 20s and then he amputates them. However, he can’t finish the job and he always leaves them for dead some where. The amputation part is nothing short of sick and twisted and it’s not in the way that we get impressed at. They didn’t censor ANY of that sick shit.

Anyways, Audrey gets kidnapped by this dude, gets her hand clamped with a huge block of dried ice, gets frostbite, and then he amputates her without anesthetic and she’s wide awake and fully aware of what’s happening. Meanwhile, Dakota’s limbs start falling out as well. The scenes are all jumbled up like while editing the sequence of the scenes, they used a bingo machine to determine which scene comes next. A task force is set up for the search of the psycho and Audrey and then some woman discovers Dakota near Audrey’s hometown so she gets transported there. She gets mistaken as Audrey and the cops and her parents think she has post-traumatic stress.

Fuck, this story is fucked up. I’ll just spare you guys and skip to the ending. Dakota finds Audrey and they both lie together in a graveyard with identical missing limbs. Oh, they lose their right hand and right leg. Not the whole leg, just whatever is below the knee. Oh, and Dakota gets robotic prosthetics. Quite crucial in killing that psycho piano teacher. Oh, and the freakiest shit I’ve seen is when Dakota has sex with Audrey’s boyfriend. Damn man… that’s some nasty ass shit.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 1/5 – Just because Lindsay Lohan was stripping in the beginning.

Mother of god... I’ve seen bad post-summer movies but this is the worst one to date. Don’t bother downloading, don’t bother wondering, just fuck that shit and wait for Disaster Movie, which should be coming before anything like Quarantine, Max Payne and Tropic Thunder. Peace out y’all!

There Are No Sides

Note: This post does not target any specific religion nor does it intend to diss religion. It is a casual and personal observation and interpretation of religious issues and contexts.

People look for answers in what’s available to them, and when they’re particularly desperate, they latch on to the closest answer available. It may make them wrong, but not necessarily evil. – Alan Eppes, Numb3rs

I particularly enjoyed this episode of Numb3rs (Season 4, Episode 16, for those interested) ‘cause they dealt with a Christian association with a cult status. I do love cult busts, especially Christian ones. The way that they quote the Bible and sometimes twist it to suit their own agendas is just hilarious. I seriously should go to one of their sermons to just get a good laugh.

But I digress. What Charlie’s dad said about the struggle for answers that particularly deal with faith just struck a chord with me. I’ve had plenty of these moments where I’ve constructed interesting observations and the kind about religion but I have never been able to write it out in words. Perhaps this time I can get my point across. Anyways, the chord that it struck has led me again to my own decisions regarding the placement of my TRUST, not faith. However, I put my need to discover, learn and understand over the placement of my trust. What I want to share today is how you can find the answers that you need and not blindly embrace something and call it “having faith” in it..

I want to extend a bit on what Mr. Eppes said and go on to say that when people do latch on to those alleged closest answers and also putting aside that desperation bit, I am glad for them for finding something to hold on to, as intangible and unfounded as it is. That last statement would lead back to my personal definition of faith – trusting in something that is intangible, unfounded and has no grounding to prove that it is worth trusting. Basically, I would say that faith is a kind of blind reliance.

As I have mentioned before in several posts before this, I have decided not to pick sides… because there are no sides, only different observations and methods of man attempting to understand and communicate with the world that man lives in. Not only have I not decided to pick sides, I have decided that I shall, one day, hopefully, experience and truly learn all that I can of these observations and methods and then from that, find the right questions to ask and the answers to it.

The “how” here is pretty simple. Never be content with what you know. Do not believe/trust/have faith in anything until you’re damn sure you’ve learnt and experienced everything that is necessary in regards to the religion.

Pretty simple, ain’t it? I doubt it. The method may be easy but the application may be the death of you.

If this all really makes no sense to you, feel free to go ahead and holla at me through the chatbox or MSN, for those that have me on their list, that is. That’s all for one morning. Peace out y’all.

Raya Holidays!

Eid Mubarak and a Selamat Hari Raya to everyone! This year’s Eid is going to have a little twist! Everyone’s up for a trip to the East Side! From what we all perceive, the east side is fucked up because of well, Malaysians damn well know why and those of you that are unaware, just ask any other Malaysian.

Anyways, initially it was a plan to Pulau Tioman and crap. Sounds pretty amazing and shit, eh? Plans didn’t settle to the state that we wanted to and then it got changed. Instead of Tioman, now these guys wanna go to Terengganu… East side… and foreigners that can’t speak Malay… I just hope that whatever perceptions that us west side Malaysians have about the east side Malaysians are going to be proved wrong when these guys get there.

Anyways, whatever the case is, everyone else is going and I’ve decided to sit this one out for personal reasons. Don’t ask, please.

When these guys were all praying at the mosque, I needed to go to CIMB to withdraw for the day. I passed by Mohamed’s, a mamak restaurant that would deliver anytime of the day every day of the year, except on Eid, and that was like, “woah” when I took this picture.



Shit man... It's like... the end of the world, dude!

I actually forgot to get someone their gift and then in the end managed to get it last minute via Jaafar’s delivery. Hahahaha… Yeah, odd, I know, but whatever, dude. Anyways, Eid morning came and went with the usual wishing and stuff. Piumi made everyone breakfast that morning. It consisted of some kind of rice with coconut milk which sounds a hell lot like how nasi lemak should be, some chilli onions (which they all asked me to eat, thus increasing my suspicion that it was lethal), some potato dish and chicken curry. Damn, the chicken curry was nice. Heh heh heh... So was the faludda! Choiy~ I got one huge bottle in my fringe like, right now! Fuck, the uh, dessert was a sort of egg custard which is FUCKING amazing. Yeah~!

Well, before any chow down happened, I had to distribute my Eid gifts to all these dudes first! Funny thing was that Piumi made me buy the red wrapping paper only whereas I wanted red and blue. So, all the presents were wrapped like a Christmas present sans the ribbon. Funnily enough, the random shirt I wore this morning was red. Hahahaha… They had to make Santa jokes…



Rahul just woke up and came to chow down



Halfway through the breakfast session
 
Couldn’t get more shots ‘cause everyone was definitely having way too much fun! After Piumi’s breakfast, we had a li’l siesta and then it was off to the 4th floor to Ashik’s (did I spell that right?) for Eid lunch. The spread was pretty decent, huge pot of chicken briyani, some uh, cutlets, I think, some veges, drinks, dessert and some sort of gravy. Yeah, it’s during these festivities I decide not to freaking care what the hell I get served… As long as it tastes edible and is amazing, hell fucking yeah. There WAS this one particular hot chick over there in a brown dress. Fuck… She looked freakin’ tight, man!

We bounced from Ashik’s place right after we were done and then me, Rahul, Rushdi, Taqi and Shradda went to 1 Utama to chill a bit, seeing as it is Eid! Couldn’t get a damned cab ‘cause they were all too afraid to run into cops seeing 5 people in a cab. Fortunately, one of those huge premium taxis rolled by and dropped some people off at Lagoonview and I took the chance to ask him to take us to 1 Utama. Charged us a decent price of 25 bucks seeing as there were 5 people already. He was even nice enough to give us his number and shit.

Once we were there, Shradda wanted to go get something to eat. She and Rushdi went to Thai Nudle whatsis place while the rest of us went to Burger King ‘cause Rahul wanted to eat there and me and Taqi had bought Cinnabon and we thought that BK would give less of a fuck about outside food than Thai whasisface. The stuff that we talked about at BK was just hilarious, man. Real X-rated shit that I think that is best left to the reader’s imagination.



It's a rogue software! Or is it?

We went for the 7 pm show of Eagle Eye at the GSC there… It was an entertaining movie, download it. Not worth the petrol, popcorn and ticket to watch it.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 3.4 outta 5.

It just features Shia doing what he did best in Transformers – running like a motherfucker. No uber hot chick this time to accompany him like Transformers and Disturbia.

Alrighty then, I’m going to have my breakfast and these guys are still waiting for their ride to Terengganu which is approximately late by an hour and a half right now. Eid Mubarak once again and happy holidays! Peace out y’all!

P.S: I don't give a FUCK about work this week, so if you got any ideas about asking, save it.

Ta Kip!

I’ll go ahead and explain it later after a bit of a back story regarding this odd choice of post title. Without mentioning names, one of my friends got mugged at knife point by two dudes, one Tamil and the other one Malay. Low lifes. One from the front, the other from the back with their knives on his neck. As usual, they asked for cash and hand phone. Long story short, he managed to semi-escape them and lost just RM 150. I would say he was pretty unlucky. This all happened at the bend near the surau nearby Sunway University College, where there isn’t a single light illuminating that road until the next road that leads straight into Indahvilla. It happened at 2.30 a.m, 25th September.

Yesterday midnight, I just couldn’t sleep so I got up, ordered a small snack and then watched the Sarah Conner Chronicles while eating. Halfway through my roti susu, I heard a girl scream from outside. After living for 3 years in an area dominated by college and uni students, one can tell when girls are screaming in a party, drunk, and when a girl is screaming for her dear life. So random people that had balconies overlooking the aforementioned dark area came out and started shouting and shit. 1st thing I saw was this girl running back up the bend, towards the li’l park near the college side gate. Some other dudes say that they saw the muggers run towards the area between those rundown Sunway apartments and the second-hand car lots and a bike chasing them. Security guard, I guess.

It’s kinda scary to think that a place like Sunway has came down to this… But anyways, seeing as I was thinking about these 2 incidents, I remembered how Chinese muggers would go and say “Ta Kip!” which kind of means “This is a robbery/mugging!” in Cantonese. The phrase then reminded me of this dumb ass, uh, acquaintance of mine back in high school. He had a rather sick way of doing things… How sick? Let me graphically illustrate, he would take any opportunity to run his finger or a card-like object, up the crack of your ass and go “Whoo!” and at other times he would come from behind you and stick his index finger and middle finger together into your ribs or something and say, “Ta Kip!” So, yeah… damn. Dude’s in Scotland or Ireland now… probably jumped plane ‘cause that guy was one fucked up idiot to begin with.

I digress. So, for those of you those are reading this and happen to live in the Sunway area, keep away from that area and stick to the main road. Walk under well-lit areas in the night and all that trash.

Well, this post kind of feels like a public safety announcement kind of shit… Hehehhee… Anyways, stay safe and study hard. Geez, I sound like Captain Planet or some of those 90s TV heroes. Peace out y’all!

P.S: Futsal tonight was fucking amazing… Played with an unbalanced team and still managed to win. Unfortunately, I sprained my shoulder a bit. Should be fine for Sunday’s big match. Yea-yeah~!

The Cap That Was Never Meant To Be On The Bottle

I’ve had this realization for a very long time. I am an angry person. A very angry person deep down inside. I believe it is because of the fact that I try to give in to everyone and everything around me, accepting the unacceptable. I can’t exactly say I flare up unexpectedly for no reason and start shouting at people like a PMS-ing bitch but I do get urges to hit… no, HURT people. Hitting is way too, general. Hurting, now… is a whole new dimension.

I think it’s time I do something constructive and positive to channel all this bottled up anger. I’ve been getting vivid dreams of being a rapist and a killer and all that weird bullshit that usually involves quite an amount of violence. I’m just scared for myself, man. Hopefully I won’t pull a Columbine one day in Sunway. Now that would be like, the ultimate outlet to anger.

Just wanted to get this off my chest. Peace out y’all.

Fringe



Remember a pimp called Baby Powder from How High?

It’s that season where the assignments start piling up and all the TV series start their engines again. Talk about a test of resisting temptation, dude. I seriously have nothing much going on in my life right now except just going to class, doing my assignments, chilling with these guys and watching TV shows and old movies. Sounds pathetic? At least I’m not attending uni while staying with mommy and daddy.

Brilliant one-liners aside, Rikaz recently needed the services of my silver hard disk. Yes, the silver one, not the black one. Happiness is in the silver one, euphoria… or rather, rapture’s in the black one, mind you. Seeing as in his latest post he confesses to be a maniacal fan of a diverse selection of shows that deserve awards by the truckloads and also of shows that just plain define you as a faggot. Unfortunately for Rikaz, he watches more of the latter. Therefore, I don’t need to say anymore.

Anyways, a new series has landed! One that I find wildly intriguing, to be absolutely honest. The show of course, is called Fringe and it is co-created by JJ Abrams, same lad who brought you greats like Cloverfield, Alias and that over-praised whirlwind of irresponsible story-writing, Lost. That guy has too many ideas and too little follow-ups.

I would define Fringe, as a mix of Eureka, a whole lotta X-Files and a teeny sprinkle of 24 since terrorism is in the mix. It’s not as scary as X-Files but it comes close to being as far out as Eureka. I’ve watched the pilot and it is fucking awesome. The opening scene where they show how a whole plane gets infected with one sick motherfucking virus is just… woah. It was SERIOUSLY a bad decision to watch that opening scene while eating dinner.

It’s better off that you guys go see it when M’sia starts airing it, which would probably be in a few years, since, well, need I say… It’s M’sia. We were the people who were still wondering if Ross would propose to Rachael when Oprah was already doing her post-Friends special episode on Star World.

Where might you get all this junk, you ask me? Well, torrents, of course. I’ve never been a fan of torrents, honestly. They rarely have good old stuff on and it’s only available for a limited time only. I prefer the ol’ downloading the ZIP/RAR files and putting them together after like, 3-8 downloads. Yeah, I’m old school, son. Alright, for those of you who aren’t into torrents like yours truly, I’ve set up a link to this site where they share loads of new TV shows and I hear that it’s updated really quickly. Almost as quickly as a day after the episode’s been aired. Yeah~

Alrighty then, I need to get to uni to work on the piling assignments. Peace out y’all and may the Force be with you.
