12 Days Left... Ain't Too Far...

Can't believe that time has flown again! I ain't exactly having the best time of me life here in Ipoh but one way or another, days past by without me looking. I ain't complaining. No way. Not one bit. I can't wait to get my yellow ass back to Sunway man! I ain't looking forward to going back to uni exactly but it isn't that bad, seriously. Hmmm...

Guess What's Back?

The haze, that's what... We all damn well know which bloody country is responsible for this nationwide epedemic so let's not say any names to cause trouble. Actually it's more like, I know who knows about this blog and reads it and if I say anything outta line, I'm looking for a butt-kicking of my lifetime. Hey, it's just a butt-kicking. Why not? Bloody Indonesia. There, I said it. Jesus Christ... leave the damn forests alone! I'm not THE enviromentalist but I am concerned about the whole global warming thing and Armageddon thing 'cause it's most likely I'll live to see it. If we got, say, a century to go before all things go to hell, I don't mind, go ahead, at least I'll be dead and gone. So please, put those god-forsaken torches down and farm somewhere else. There's no need to put fire to the sword, mate.

GOSH!

=P


Transformers, Again

Yeah, I went to watch it again. This time with me mum. I was quite surprised when she said she wanted to watch it. Seems that of all the cartoon characters from... say, a decade ago, that I used to watch and was particularly interested in, she said that the Transformers were definitely one of the best ones she has seen so far. So, yesterday we went to the TGV cinema in Jusco to watch it. I bought the tickets the previous day 'cause those damn idiots wouldn't sell them via phone and they ain't got the online booking shit. Retards. I guess convenience is another thing I COULD love about KL, besides it being the cess pit of the country. Anyways, she said it was like when she watched "Star Wars" in her time. As in, it was groundbreaking, jaw-dropping stuff. Seriously, man, it's the bomb. If you are STILL reading this and you haven't went to watch it, go do it. NOW. After watching such a movie, other action movies like Die Hard 4 and perhaps the new Harry Potter movie won't even cut it. It feels like the time I played God of War and God of War II. Even after finishing the games... a few times finishing the games, you still can't pick up another game and then actually play it. It's like,

"Man, this is slow. GOW would've let you kill the guy and let you through"

"This is boring. I'm playing GOW. Wait, I played it already."

Yeah, something like that. It's that feel that nothing could match it. Ever. Eventually I got past that stage and started playing something else. Seriously, nothing else was as good as it was. So, I guess Transformers was like the "God of War" of movies for this year. And you sure as hell better agree with me!

Ngyah hahahahahaha...

*cough*

Sorry...

Laptop - Loss and Recovery

The fan, after months of producing enough sounds to fill up a jukebox and actually play remixed tunes, FINALLY gave in. It began overheating and shutting down randomly. So, I opened the sucker up and finally cleaned it. Unfortunately, the problem wasn't about the cleanliness, it was more of the.. uh, fan itself. So, I had to call the com guy to come over and take it away. He fixed the fan and added an additional 1GB RAM. Sweet! But still, although it HAS an X700 equipped into the damn thing, there are still some guys I doubt that can last in this baby. Eventually my laptop will be recycled and junked and hopefuly I will be lucky enough to get a new one that has over average gaming capabilities as well.

N76 - Seriously...?

That was quick, the N95 just came out and then N76? Choy~! That was fast. I really like the design thing. I sort of had a little flip-phone liking after seeing Ivan's phone but just couldn't find one that's slim and had nice specs. I guess my prayers were answered. Hopefully. I've been scouring the net for pics and specs of the li'l blighter and so far it seems pretty nice. The only problem now is that the N series has never achieved a 100% satisfaction guaranteed from any users of the N series that I am familiar with. The camera on the sucker's just 2 Megapixels but I ain't no Putlitzer prize winner-wannabe, now am I? The whole music features really got me interested 'cause I've always dreamed of a device that can call, SMS, pay music and all that jazz and the closest thing so far is a handphone. A handphone isn't really a handphone now. It's more like a bloody electrical-neo-modern-techno-Swiss-businessman-knife. Seriously! Think about it long and hard, lads. Well, whatever it is, I am kind of interested but as usual, I'm a broke nigger and the thing costs $1800+. Not looking too good. Maybe U-Jun has a nice deal for me since he IS selling a N76 (no idea who it belongs to) and it's only been a month old. *sigh* We'll see then...

Peace out y'all.

Gone But Not Forgotten (?)

Today, after I came back from my afternoon session of gym, I took a packet of cookies (the ones that had that cream in between, not Oreos, those crackers) and sat down in the living room couch and read today's papers. I heard my grandma came out of the altar room and then sort-of berated me for not uh, how do we say, pay my respects ever since I came back.

*sigh*

At 1st I was like, "Aw man... Fine fine..." and then I realized that maybe the whole purpose of this is to not forget the people who we cherish the most. I mean, if you think about it, you wouldn't want to be forgotten, right? I guesss that's what my grandma is trying to do, futilely attempting to instill that into my head. I think I've gotten into a fair bit of arguments regarding this issue, of remembering people. The paying respects thing is sorta part of the rememberance issue so I'll treat it as a whole thing altogether. I think I've talked about this before with some people like my mum and maybe Khai or Ivan (concerning Chee King, of course). I, try not to think about this people like, forever, if I can. Seriously, forgetting is no problem to me at all. This is because when you think it about it, you get depressed, etc, etc... So, I think, for me, I like to keep things that way. Hopefully to never look back at anything and keep living life as though nothing has happened. It is something that I do and though it may sound negative and reflect "badly" upon my character, you can't exactly blame a guy for trying to stay happy, right? So, think about it... If you had the chance to erase all the memories about one dead person (since you can't just have happy memories of him 'cause eventually you WILL remember that his ass is 6 feet under), would you do it? I sure as hell will. That person is long dead and gone. But, if I had a choice to only have the happy memories without the memories of him being dead, I would take that choice. Too bad the human mind doesn't work that way, eh?

Peace out y'all...

A Stranger in My Own Home

That's exactly how I feel, man. It's like, being a tourist in your own hometown sans the sight-seeing, theme park rides and the camera clicking around wildly. Everytime I get out the door, you feel like the place is alien to you. Sure, it looks damn familiar 'cept with the noticable changes due to time, renovation and the usual stuff but man.. I don't think it's the environment, man... It's the people, I feel. Either everyone's getting older, sophisticated, more lala (for Ipoh-ites, that's an undeniable AND unescapable fact) or uh.... just getting different altogether... I have no idea what has happened to Ipoh, y'know... It's becoming a lot more modernized and all these new shop lots have opened up and stuff like that. Too bad there hasn't been in an increase in shops that sell stuff that I'm actually into yet, though, like guitars, good comic shops, hobby shops and the like. I like Sunway the way it is because that's the way it is. It's KL, man, that's what you get for being the capital of the country. It's much more developed than the rest of the country, one way or another. Ipoh... *sigh* It used to be this quiet little town and shit like that. Malaysia's retirement home, man... But now, there are actually things that I see that remind me of KL no matter how feeble the attempt is. Somethings things are liked for the way they are. I like KL for the fact that it is so much more advanced and shit like that and Ipoh is like the quiet little town that I came from which is famous for it's chicken rice and that funny little uh, salted chicken or that funky uh, biscuit thing. Yeah, that sweet biscuit thing. Man, things ain't cool no more. Maybe I ain't the stranger in my own home. Maybe it's something else. Hm... *ponders*

Transformers

Even though me, Whales and Chee Hoe stepped in the cinema kinda late, we still managed to catch 99.7% of the movie and didn't miss anything crucial that led to questions in the later parts of the movie. Alright fine fine, enough about us getting into the cinema. On to the movie...

IT WAS TIGHT~!

AWESOME

TWO THUMBS UP

FUCKING ASS CRAZY

FLY AS HELL

OSCAR WINNER FO' SURE


Yeah, that sums it up. Yeah, pretty much. Wait, there is one more thing...

MOTHERFRIGGIN' AMAZING

It was explosion after explosion in the whole goddamn movie. From the start until finish, it was pure action with a dash of comedy from lead actor Shia Le-whatsisname. Man... Micheal Bay has delivered the goods. Of course, there is nothing as the PERFECT movie... Even I didn't think it was the perfect movie. Of course, to begin with, there was some mistakes with the names of the Decepticons and stuff like that. I mean, how can Frenzy be without Soundwave? It ain't right, man? Megatron should also transform into SOME sort of gun as well... Even if it did become the old Walther is a'ite, since old is gold, man. *cough* Kinda... Anyways, the important thing is, it rocked! Famous lines like "Transform and roll out" were of course, said and that sweet sweet line from the old 1980s movie, "One shall stand, one shall fall" was said. Ah man, a fanboy's dream come true... *sigh* If you have the freakin' time to read this and STILL haven't watched it, stop right now, close the damn page, walk out that door and go watch it! NOW, BITCHES!!!

*cough*

Sorry.

Peace out y'all!
