Yeah, it’s kinda old news by now but for those who choose to be left in the dark, here’s the skinny on Perak. Politicians jumping around alliances, losing majorities, unethical power transfers and unhappy protesters. That’s pretty much it. End of story, BN takes Perak back. Personally, I believe that this will be a short-lived victory as most probably they’ll realize that this is STILL a democratic country. If they play the snake and the people play the piper, maybe they’ll get lucky and have another term in this state.
*sigh*
In a sense, I am glad to leave Ipoh but I don’t wanna leave Sunway. Too much people there that I still wanna chill with, despite the fact that Indahvilla’s lifts keep fucking up. But I think I’ve done my fair share of bitching about Australia and the whole leaving thing, I think I’ll stop because I’ve long passed the point of no return and Australia’s becoming more and more of a comfortable idea. I will definitely miss everyone in Malaysia but there’ll always be MSN and e-mail. God bless tech! Gonna miss the “pow pow pow” times the most. Most defining moments in Indahvilla but it’s time to open a new chapter on that chronic chronicle in Aussieland!
=P
Recently got so bored that I decided to Danny’s “25 things” tag and Fattyma’s randomized music playlist questionnaire tag. It’s all on Facebook. Seriously considering posting up here on Beneath the Thorns but nah…
Hmph. Nothing really serious to talk about, just wanted to keep the ball rolling. Recently finished downloading Ocean’s 13 and Spawn. Huge fan of the Ocean’s series, pity they aren’t doing anymore of those but since Bernie Mac’s gone, it’ll be a tad tougher, innit? Spawn, loved the dark nature of the HBO series and loved the movie when I was a kid. Watching it again just showed me how much it bloody sucks! It’s sometimes a huge pity that most comics or games have had their image tarnished by horrible misrepresentation in large scale media mediums. Getting confused with the big words, caveman?
Here’s an example. Punisher. Dude’s a psycho killer in the comics, awesome character. 1st movie fucked him up. 2nd movie… Hahahaha… it’s like digging up his corpse just to rape him all over again. Here’s a more recent travesty – Max Payne. Fuck, this is the worst misrepresentation by far in my books as of now. The game was freakin’ groundbreaking with bullet time gameplay. Yeah, listen, time and time again I have to say that the Wachowski brothers (creators of Matrix) did not create bullet time! Max Payne came first, but this’s pretty much useless trivia, but get your useless trivia straight, man! Speaking of Mark Wahlberg… I should download Four Brothers. That was an awesome movie and Sofia Vegera (did I spell that right?), that Latin hottie that was a air stewardess in Soul Plane, is in this as well.
I think that’s enough garbage for one day. Peace out y’all!

Another Youtube-heavy Post
Here’re some videos that people have introduced to me recently and some that I found alone. Music videos, skits, and everything downright crazy! First up is the one that I found the most hilarious is this…
Next up is a bunch of videos from this show, or comedy troupe, called Whitest Kids U Know. Yeah, it’s spelled with a large “u” only. Check these dudes out…
A’ite… done with the comedy stuff. Let’s move on to music. These two videos aren’t that new… First up is Travis Barker, ex-Blink 182 drummer and probably still +44’s drummer. Real talented dude.
It’s sick, right? It’s my fave track right now. I’m trying to get into Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ new album, The Lonely Road, that I recently downloaded but so far nothing but “You Better Pray”, their latest single from the album, has caught my attention. Hmm… perhaps it needs a bit more playtime. Here’s another mind-blowing video… Rashmi showed it to me ages go.
How does he freakin’ do that?! He looked so at peace playing that like it’s second nature. Brilliant! A’ite, this next video is from a game that has been recently released for the PC and Xbox 360. Graphics are grand but not the groundbreaking and PC-raping type. Multiplayer gameplay for this game is fucking awesome. I have not played it myself, just watched these dudes play it in Imax while they were here in Ipoh and it was fucking mindblowing. Here’s the intro video…
I wanna play this soooo badly on LAN! You can have 8 people play at once tops. 4 Survivors and 4 Special Infected (zombie side). It’s fast, it’s intense, it’s gonna make you pee in your pants and shoot your weakest team mate and leave him there to die. Yeah, great game indeed! Peace out y’all!

Annual Affair
Yup, every Chinese New Year, my family, once again hosts the buffet dinner at Casuarina. This time the turnout from KL was a tad better since Rushdi, Rahul, Altaf, Yaseen, Rikaz and his brother, Rumaiz had turned up for the shindig.
Chinese New Year was as Chinese New Year as it always is. Relatives coming and money being given. I don't even open my ang pows anymore because it usually stays the same amount like the last time and rarely it gets more and may God have mercy on that poor relative's soul if it gets less.
I had an amazing time with these dudes while they were in Ipoh, 1st day we were stuck roaming around town in my Vios... 7 dudes in one Vios. Yeah, I know you've got better stories but still, it's not about how amazing it is, it's about how cramped it is.
First night was the dinner, we went, laughed our asses off. After that we went hunting for sheesha, was a tad tough since Ipoh hasn't exactly established the whole sheesha thing yet but as I suspected, Greentown Business Centre was the 1st 2 pick it up. They were amatuers of course and I am seriously not exxagerating when I say that 5 out of 7 of us could have made the sheesha better and faster than those dudes we were getting sheesha from. Not much smoke meant not much flavour. Not much flavour meant not much fun.
Next day was a tad slow since I wasn't available for lunch and dinner, as that was the 2nd day of the Lunar New Year but I managed to get my aunt's Inova (did I spell that right?) to transport these guys around! Thanks, the car was really helpful! Took them to one of those temples in a cave, Kek Look Tong in the afternoon before I went for another buffet dinner. These dudes went to Greentown by themselves and had dinner there and I joined them later and we went to I-net but the games there were kinda crappy.
Next day we went to Sunway Tambun and had a brilliant time there but it's just a watered down version of the original Sunway Lagoon. Only 2-3 tube rides, 1 teeny wave pool, 4 normal rides and one motherfucking dirty ass jacuzzi. Spent about 3 hours there and finished the night off at Imax while these guys had an intense session of Left 4 Dead there. Awesome game! I would love to give it a spin before I go to Australia. Rumaiz inducted himself into our Hall of Fame that night alone with his antics during the game.
Twas a heartbreaking moment sending them off home to KL via train but all good things come to an end. Cliched, yeah, I thought so too. Less than 2 more weeks to Australia and possibly every good thing that was in store has been done. Peace out y'all.
