The Long And Whining Road

A love that could not be

2010-12-08T13:46:00.004+08:00

It was about 3 months back when I was asked by a friend if I had ever fallen in love with someone I shouldn't. Referring to a girl I was infatuated with, "Yes" was the reply I gave. So a few moths had passed and now I'm still here though somethings have changed..and that same question popped into my mind. I was wondering what a person could and should do when in such a situation. There really isn't much that can be done is there? Unless I want to force the issue but it would only worsen the problem but get nowhere. She was too good for me. It's rare but yeah in this situation yes.

So, what am I to do?? I puzzled.... Being as 'wise' as I had always been, I said I'd do what I was going to do in the first place: establish myself!

However, it will take time. A number of years.. 10 years maybe. By then, the date on her forehead which says "Best Before" would have expired. And she'd probably be happily married. Oh dear me. A love that could not be!

In a country filled with many antisemites, we have joined in the condemnation of Israel for their brutality against the fleet of ships sending aid to Gaza. The world today is in a depression while Israel is in aggression. Too bad we don't have an Israeli embassy in Malaysia to protest in front of. So we resort to expressing ourselves to the American embassy instead.. after all, Israel is an American military base in the Middle East.

The Jews rule the world by proxy. So says our former Prime Minister. We have imposed a sanction against Israel ever since I could remember. Palestine has declared 3 days of mourning over the incident but Palestinians would much prefer to retaliate. After all, the Jews took away their aid, so it's only natural to fight and later require more aid which they don't have. Hmmm.....

Malaysia is a role-model for Muslim nations and there is absolutely no doubt in our Rule of Law unlike Israel. Our economy is now stronger than ever because the world is in depression and we are lucky to have minimal hedge funds. We believe in working for our money. At the end of the day, we cannot afford to pay ourselves more than we earn..we are not Americans.

However, we Malaysians are in general are a lazy lot. We have more holidays than other countries. And yet, we have a vision of becoming an advanced nation.
Imagine other countries are on a highway ahead of us driving at 150KM an hour.. we are driving at 120KM an hour.. I wonder at which point will we overtake them. Well, of course we can still reach our destination. Slowly but surely.

I hate it when my patience is brought to the test. My ideal style of working is to have everything orchestrated and things fall into their places. I just love it when a plan comes together.

Sorry for not updating for over 2 months. A new semester started and was busy not doing my assignments. When I should be doing them, see what am I doing now? Blogging!

A call woke me up today. I put it on silent and went back to sleep after seeing that it was from one of my college mates. I am 120% sure he was wanting something from me. Parasites!!

I should seriously start doing my assignments NOW!!
Anyhow,I shall stop procrastinating tomorrow.

THE MALAYsian DILEMMA

2010-01-29T01:02:00.004+08:00

1st : Fire Fire !!!
2nd: Babi Babi !!!
Bang Bang Choo Choo...

In a country such as this and having many uncivilized people such as myself, It is not unforeseen that some people would go burn churches and those who'd throw boars heads in mosques. Provocation is sometimes the easiest thing to do..and retaliation is probably the response. Saddening isn't it?

Of course we hope and pray that an incident like May 13 will never again happen.
I haven't got the chance to read the book authored by the former PM.. Remind me to buy The Malay Dilemma the next time i go to a bookstore yea?

4X4 Adventure : Weight counts !!

2010-01-24T03:05:00.005+08:00

It was a family day and we planned to visit my uncle's chili farm in Klang and go boating later that evening before having dinner in his new house.
Me, being an eccentric person, got excited when I saw 5 acres of mud.. pure mud !!

Above is me driving around on 4 wheels.

Then eventually got stuck when I tried to turn back.
My uncle called for backup from some friends and they came faster than AAM could!!
They arrived within 15 minutes :) Lukily they were on their way back from some adventure in Perak.

Above : The Pajero trying to pull my car out but failed as the Nissan was heavy.

Came the second car : Daihatsu Rocky. Dont Play !!

The above shows The Great Threesome !!!
The Rocky with it's winch held on by the Pajero from the rear so it wouldn't pull itself forward.
Finally managed to get it out.

Above is me thanking all the heroes who came to help.
Lesson learned: We often get into shit faster than we can get out of.

First Day of New Year

2010-01-04T14:43:00.004+08:00

My friend managed to convince me into allowing him to hold a barbecue in my house on new year's eve. And so we did it.. the 13 of us. We cooked and ate till it was 11.45 then we took a stroll to a part of the hill where we could sorta see KL and Subang. Adjourned by 2AM.

Had a good sleep and had to prepare for seow feng's party on the 1st day of 2010. The theme was Retro and like usual, most people ignored it. There were more people there and inevitably more fun. More eccentrics, lunatics, psychos put together.
I saw Kevin sitting on Shereen, and so I thought I'd join in the fun. Then Fiona saw and came, then Bhusan, then Eamon, then Seelan, and lastly,the birthday girl!! Could hear shereen shouting "The bongsai, the bongsai !!!!! "

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY DENISE NG SEOW FENG !!!
Bhusan and I went for a drink with Kuhan after that.. must have been around 2am? later, Bhusan and I went back to my house and rested for abit before we left for Lenggong, Perak. Shall blog about that after I get the pictures.

2009-12-28T23:04:00.002+08:00

It has been awhile since I last blogged.. haven't been doing very much lately, well until today. Finished my exam in the morning and drove to Shah Alam Club and took a swim. The Olympic-sized pool was so empty..there was only me swimming around and 2 other guys cleaning the pool. Headed to Aroon's after a shower and we went to the workshops to get my car fixed.

We changed absorbers in the first shop and by the next hour, were at the opposite shop to do the alignment, changed of tyres, and other minor things. Similar to humans going to a hospital, they'd discover all sorts of sicknesses while checking for something else.. so my car waited in line and they stared work by 3pm.. it was not until 8pm that they finished the job. The owner of the shop was a perfectionist.. he just wouldn't let the car go until he was satisfied. In that 5 long hours, the mechanics test-drove the car about 12 times.. and did the alignment about 5 times. My goodness.

Will be taking another car for checkup tomorrow.

The long and winding road that leads to Malacca took us there after having fun at the Extreme Park where we played Go-cart which had me ending up having splashed with petrol on my back, drifting out of the track, and getting banged from the back.

So my friends and I took our usual friday night with a little twist this time. We stayed over in Glory Beach Resort in Port Dickson. We did crazy stuff in the apartment. Luke, Aroon and myself performed a short concert on the balcony singing 2 English songs and 1 Malay song. Some were looking from the opposite apartment and some from the tennis court below. Although none of them clapped, Im sure they had a great time listening. We had great fun too playing Banana Boat by the sea.

Had us some seafood for dinner as well as lunch the following day before we took the old road to Malacca. We passed by 3 kenduri's and decided to stop at the 4th to get us some free food..of which we didn't come across.

All 9 of us headed back to KL after our dinner. As I was driving, we saw 5 modified Waja's convoying on the fast lane with their hazard lights on. Me, being a slow driver, for once decided to chase them. I saw that there were 5 of them in 5 cars, and 5 of us in my car..that's roughly equal.. and so I got into the fast lane and turned on my hazard lights. Those 5 monkeys ran, they probably got shocked and most likely didn't stop all the way until they reached KL. Haha

Pictures on facebook soon.

I skipped class today. Stayed at home to complete some of the assignments which are due next month. Managed to finish 2 essays for economics. Enough to justify for staying at home the whole day

2009-11-10T11:49:00.001+08:00

Jungle is Massive and so is South City.

Last night I went over to pass a friend some books, we had already decided to go for a drink. We had no particular place in mind, so we just drove around for a bit and ended up in South City Plaza.

I think it was my first time being there. So we sat in Oldtown White Coffee… and we took our time like they wanted us to.

Sitting there for an hour plus, they played the same music over and over again! It was an instrumental of A Whiter Shade Of Pale. Nice but not 30 times non-stop lar..

One fine day

2009-11-05T16:46:00.003+08:00

One fine day, I was helping my Chinese friend in her assignment. When I said Chinese, I was referring to the nationality..not race. Her English isn't too good and her discretion is a little worse. well, this picture I took when I was going thru the assignment essay. Just thought I'd share something funny here.

In the end, I got her to changed the phrase "Our great Chairman Mao" to
"The former Chinese leader, Chairman Mao "
The local lecturers won't mind, but some of the papers will be sent to London..so better not take the risk.. after all, communism isn't too popular in England.

2009-10-22T17:32:00.003+08:00

Early Thursday morning, a reporter walked up to as as we just came out of McD's and asked our opinion on child abuse...
Below is a column in today's newspaper.

But that wasn't quite what I said.

2009-10-17T16:54:00.003+08:00

Fighting a war that never started.
What do you do when your resources are scarce? It's not that you will fail if you attack now..it's just that it may not necessarily be the best approach. After all, who wants to fight a long war? They say nothing wise comes out of a prolonged war. Wars should be won with a sweet sweet surrender.

Of supper, then supper, and supper again.

When he had to enter the right lane as we were reaching a bend to the right, the car behind had to brake as he honked..He put into 3rd gear to control the speed and the car skidded slightly as we took the sharp corner. The brakes were overheated by the time we were halfway down..

We all met up in PJ sec 14 on our usual Friday night and chatted for a bit before leaving in 2 car to Hartamas for supper. And so we left for Gentings a little past midnight.. Jonard tookwheel and I set in my car helplessly in the passenger's. All the way up there just for a coffee? lolz

The Frontier was sent to help a friend carry a roasted pig for his wedding.. and later used to the wedding dinner.Would have been nice to take it up to gentings with the new spotlights that were added..especially having thick mist which we encountered that evening. Now the car is no longer Halal.. lol

On the way down, the first car with Luke, Aroon, Fiona and Bhusan were stopped by the Polis Bantuan Genting.. Jonard laughed.... I said : " Jonard, dont laugh first.. see we get stopped or not first. If we dont get stopped then only we laugh at them" And we ended up getting stopped anyway.. the cop was a funnyman and made some jokes with us... I then gave the cops 2 sweets as a token of goodwill. lol

By the time we got down from gentings, Jonards cousin and friends had already reached Rawang. They were a little lost and ended up on Federal Highway where we met. Had a drink in Subang before everyone left.

Slept for 6hours and left for KL with my brother to get some investment thing done.

Up the northern states

2009-09-23T16:28:00.005+08:00

The road was jammed.. as we drove closer, we could notice they closed 2 lanes of the highway. While passing the closed lanes, we could hear the highwaymen shouting "keep going !!" then when it was our turn to pass the scene, blood was seen splatted on the road and the dead body was left on the road with his helmet on and his mouth open..

The drive that turns us on.
It was a Sunday evening that I confirmed going on a trip up north when I was online and got persuaded to join them. After gathering up and having a good meal, we left in the middle of the night. Arun drove from Selangor to Perak, then later Bhusan drove from Perak to Kedah.. I only drove the dangerous bits of Perak which I actually had to tap on the brakes!! Driving on the north-south highway with hardly any traffic, stepping on the brakes is kinda unusual.. unless you're on that stretch slightly to the north of Ipoh.

Jonardation
When we reached Kedah, we called a Jonard to find his address... and so we drove thru estates, plantations, fields, cows, tows, dam, hills, kampungs..

Below is Mengkuang Dam before heading towards the Island

Democratic Action Penang
Later, he took us to Penang Island. RM7.70 for the ferry ride. I was hoping on finding some decent accommodation.. but ended up in some 5-star hotel we never heard of... Haha
While waiting to check-in, Bhusan fell asleep and so Jonard decided to burn his leg and put it on facebook.

Ate all sorts of food there. First time I ate coconut jelly :) the food were fab and cheap!
We had steamboat for dinner before we left on tuesday night. The pork was awesome !!
Komtar building; one of Penang's trademark
Bhusan that nut drove 140km/hour cutting lanes like nobody's business on Penang Bridge. wtf?
Yee Mun didn't get to go to the temple but at least we went to the seaside and sat on the rock watching the couple taking wedding photos right? and the dam with all the rempits of penang..
On the way back, Bhusan the champion drove on 3 states Penang, Kedah, and Perak within half an hour..while it took me one an a half hours from Perak to Selangor... after all, the owner of the car said : Maximum 140km/hour.

It jammed for a bit near Rawang and we thought we were caught in the massive jam.. but turned out to be an accident where a motorcyclist was killed. Probably thrown off his bike coz we saw his blood was splashed toward one direction.. just like when you throw a water balloon.
Got home bout 2.15Am wednesday morning.

2009-09-12T18:17:00.003+08:00

I had my house gate painted with spots.. looking very much like a cow :) I think they might come and charge me for causing racial and religious tension under the Seditious Act.

My dear friends, If they come and arrest me, will you please come and bail me out.. please?

My degree program has started. Degree in Intenational Business, University of East London.
So if you ask me what am I doing, I'll probably answer "Intercourse" !! hehee

Ok so one day, we finished class early and I went for lunch with a college mate... All was good until when we had lunch.. it was that time when an intelligence report came in. The gist of it is that the lady is a tramp... a real disappointment. But left after catching a movie anyway.

2009-09-03T18:23:00.002+08:00

It was a hot afternoon when I had to drive to Damansara to get something done. It was a simple mission. Accommodation and of course the pay to be provided. Little did we know that such a simple mission could go bad. It lasted 3 hours longer than expected..It thunderstormed and we got lost for a bit.

Above is me before leaving!

Scroll down and see why you shouldn't hire such employees..
Put you in an office and give you a coffee and see what you're doing..
facebook and youtube =)
If you're an employer, It's alright if you find someone who looks like me and sounds like me.. but make sure it's not me. lolz

Shoutout

2009-09-01T02:38:00.003+08:00

My Godcousin came over on Independence Day to have my hair cut.. and we delayed him until past midnight so we could surprise him with a cake. Known him all my life.. Inevitably, we made him have a sip before leaving.
Once again, Happy Birthday!

Randoms

2009-08-28T14:47:00.004+08:00

Random things we did the past few weeks.

It was after another of our Friday night sessions when we somehow decided to take a drive to Gentings. This picture I took is the toilet door. Feel free to call the numbers you see on the door.

This was the evening or rather morning after coming back form Gentings.. It was about 4am that we wanted to hang out a little longer and so found ourselves strumming the guitar in a bus stop somewhere in PJ..

Steven's Corner.. No pork, just wine.
Ever tried pouring some wine into your limao ais? As some of you know, I have a bunch of friends who are as eccentric as myself and we'd do funny stuff. By the way, it didn't taste that good. :s

Brokeback Island

2009-08-24T10:23:00.005+08:00

When the monkeys swam across to the island, we continued cooking our lunch. When they wanted to grab our stuff, so did we. They were aggressive and we were defensive.
And as we retreated, I heard a sound.. it was a voice, Kuhan's voice.. it said : Fucking monkey is eating my lunch !

It was Saturday morning when I had to prepare a few last minute things and wait for Kuhan to arrive at my house. 5 something and I was up and about. We left bout 6.30 or so. We knew only 2 things; we re going south and we were going to camp on an island.

By the time we could see the Straits of Malacca, it went something like this..the sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful. We stopped at a local police station to ask for directions. But it was of no help since they don't know where we're talking about..as much as I don't know what Kuhan was talking about.

Checked out an island or 2 which were visible from the coast but we noticed the water wasn't too clean. Finally we stopped near a Hutan Rekreasi.. pumped up the boat, unloaded the stuff, had it waterproofed, then parked the car and off we went. It rained as we were paddling. Got to the island and made a temporary shelter. (But moved later on as the tide would set in.)Hanged around for a bit then decided to cook lunch. We were almost done cooking lunch when we saw a troop of monkeys swimming over to the island. A small troop of about 6. They were wild and kinda fearless. We tried to scare them off but they were just stubborn. We pulled the bot out to sea so they wouldn't get to it as they seem to fear going into the open space. And after we lost the Battle of Waterloo, we went back to count our casualties (after they left of course!).
We lost Kuhan's lunch, some 3in1 coffee, had some torn bags and that was about it. Could have put up a fight with them but they might have rabbis.. we wont want to risk having our faces torn too.

We couldn't find proper land to set up tent. Kuhan bought this huge tent almost like a mini field hospital. And it was rock everywhere. still, we managed to set one up next to a huge rock to help as a wind breaker and wall. We practically set up camp next to a cliff. Used only the second layer of the tent as roofing and the rest of the tent as a mattress. Uneven ground but that was where we slept. lol

Below: Rock to the left, cliff to the right.

Below is the temporary camp we set up for lunch.

Only The Christian Churches Can

2009-08-20T16:19:00.005+08:00

The are many things that many can do, but only the Christian Churches can do that ONE thing that no one else can. It can give you a confirmation !!
Something that people say when they're asked upon. But end up with excuses regarding their Fathers, Sons, and in Bad Spirit.

The Abuse of the Word.
We Malaysians Abuse the New Economic Policy, Abuse our workers, Abuse our maids. But not as devastating as the Abuse of the word "Confirm".
I am and always was a poor student in class..was never too good in anything. My Malay was bad and of course my English was worse. But when I looked up the dictionary searching for the word "confirm", I thought I managed to understand the gist of it. But probably there are many other definitions of it which Im less familiar with and forgot to look it up.

Malaysians who tend to whine at times, would on the average prefer to play a game called
"50 Reasons" rather than the other called "50 Questions". After all, it's easier to think of 50 reasons than 50 questions. It's instinct by now.

On another matter, I'm glad to be able to talk about something more pleasant now :)
My friend Kuhan and I are gonna do a parody of Brokeback Mountain.. I think we're calling it Brokeback Island. So here we planned to have an expedition to another island this time round. And we're gonna camp for the night. We have everything sewed out and bought. The equipment, food, water, and even the Jalur Gemilang to be seen flying high in the wind 500 meters away. Our boats can accommodate 6 people and we had 5 confirmations. I had to bankroll the opperation.. but now only to find that 3 may not be coming. That is where the 50 reasons come in.
So I guess we learned our little lesson when it comes to counting on other people. But of course, they are nice people and good friends. Kuhan and I, being decisive, are going anyway. After all, we have something called honor to keep. We'd probably tag them in facebook later. lolz

I'm not a Christian although my family has been for most of the past 150 years but now you see why it's better to count on the church when it comes to a confirmation?

Colouring Malaysia

2009-08-14T13:19:00.004+08:00

I came across this article by Zaidel Baharudin and found it quite true in many ways. here it goes..
So okay I’m racist (just a bit, I mean like really tiny)
AUG 12 — Apparently, I am somewhat a racist. You know, one of those folks who declare themselves "Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia" to signify the concept of a colour-blind Malaysia. You will never hear me say that. I prefer that my fellow countrymen have different colours; it's nice, reminds me of air batu campur, tasty, colourful and diabetic.
Now come on, we all like to think of ourselves as liberal-yuppie-I-love-everyone-peace-Obama-God-loves-us-all types but truth be told we are all (Malaysians) generally. We’re not. It's not to say that we’re Nazis at heart but we are so used to categorise people that we tend to do racial profiling subconsciously.
Come on, ask yourself this: have you ever at least once said something that goes along this line “Bloody hell stupid (insert race) (insert profanity) simply masuk with no signal your father own this road is it?” Given the quality of drivers in Malaysia and the quality of YOUR driving I doubt it has never spewed out of your mouth.
I’m fine with that; I am fine with Ms Ong complaining to me about my race because her dog got snatched away by MPAJ because her neighbour complained about it. I understand her predicament and I won’t be judgmental because if I were in the same shoes, I’d call MPAJ and have her dog taken away. After two weeks of listening to the damn dog barking at everything that moves and doesn’t move, I can tell you muhibbah can go fly kites.
So the question is how racist am I? Of course I am not some crazy ultra ideologist who believes that my race is superior to everyone else, and stab people randomly with my keris. Guns are much more efficient than a keris any given day. I believe that all men and women (before I am branded a chauvinist) are equal, with the exception of me. I believe that I am superior to everyone else, the rest are equally inferior to me. Ahem. Okay now that I have made myself clear, let’s get back to the main issue which is how racist I am. Well I’m not a Nazi that’s for sure, but I am however somewhat guilty of racial profiling. Okay maybe that’s too much, let’s put it as stereotyping; yes Zaidel is racist because he likes to stereotype various group of people just for the heck of it.
Zaidel's standard stereotyping
Malays — Lazy; kampung, rempit; believe in bomohs more than in doctors; are more concerned about buying a Mercedes than child education; gossipers; easy to bribe with money or women, tendency for divorce/affairs/messy love situations and slow/rude government servants. Oh, when a Malay man gets rich he would get a Datukship and marry an artiste (singer/actress/model).
Chinese — Ah Long, complain about the police being corrupt but when they get caught doing something wrong, first to bribe the officer; sport ridiculous hair colour, Japanese wannabes; must have an English name; gamblers, triad members, and ultimate dream in life is to migrate to Australia/Canada/New Zealand and become Gwailo.
Indians — Lawyers; hate darker Indians, gangsters, illegal parking attendants, drama queen, drunkards; love curry; overreact; good dancers; like wearing gold and excessive usage of the word "Macha" and "Bro".
In fact thanks to the years of propaganda of Petronas advertisements, I now automatically address Malays first, then Chinese and lastly Indians. Even though there are also other ethnicities in Malaysia, I am not bothered to type them here, tak boleh-lah. I have a limit word count here in TMI, just pick one of the main three.
ADMIT IT
Even you are somewhat racist aren't you? If a Malay student gets a scholarship it's because of the NEP, if prices go up it's the Chinese’s fault, and a drunk driver falling into the river? Must be an Indian.
But fear not.
I have come to the conclusion that all Malaysians, regardless of what race they may call themselves, are generally lousy idiotic suicide drivers who will speed up when the traffic light goes yellow, tailgate because they believe every inch counts, and seem not to realise this thing called signal lights. Kudos to my fellow Malaysians who become retards whenever they are on the road with the exceptional few who are much more civilised (like me). Indeed our driving has crossed the racial boundaries hence this epitomises the 1 Malaysia concept. In fact, when it comes to traffic lights we Malaysians are colour blind: literally, green is go, yellow is go faster and red is go when there are no cars.
Yes I admit it, I am somewhat racially perturbed sometimes. And I am sure most of you out there share this problem. However if we can joke about it then I think we’re quite fine. We can't help having these little thoughts but don't translate these thoughts to hatred. I may dislike Ms Ong’s dog but I happen to like Ms Ong. Don’t be a hater, because once it transcends into hatred then we would have a really big problem. It's good to be honest, and honestly I am sorry that sometimes I can't help but do these things. Really I do.
I promise you that in the end it doesn't really matter. Look I don't hate you because of the colour of your skin. If I were to hate you it’s because I think you are an idiot whose illogical opinions are best shared with Bill O’Reilly. That or you are a horrible driver. At least I am honest, I’m not one of those so-called racists who pretends to be a liberal (whatever that means). Notice how on the Internet people who use the nickname “Malaysian Something” to comment and start spewing out racist stuff. Hypocrites.
But, if there is one thing that I have totally erased from any form of racial stereotyping it would be... the women. I am totally liberal in that way. You know how some prefer a nice Malay girl or a polite Indian girl who is good with the family. Me, I am open to any... let her be Iban, Caucasian, Indian, Malay, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, Pinoy, Jewish, Arab, Persian, Martian, Anime character with blue hair and ridiculous body proportions. I promise you that I will always keep an open mind. I love women, all of them, regardless of the colour of their skin or where they come from. I don’t even mind if they are bad drivers.
CONCLUSION
Technically, when it comes to women I am totally non-racial. I am only racist to men. So that means that I am either a feminist or a lesbian. This is fine both ways for me. But seriously, my conclusion is feel free to make jokes, stereotype or make fun of each other. It’s fine to be a Malay, Chinese, Iban, Kadazan, Murut, Malaysian or whoever you may wish to be. Just keep in mind that people are different, like the spices that this great land is known so much for. Be proud of who you are, be proud of your culture, your identity and most of all be kind to your neighbour even if she has an annoying dog.

lolz
Just in case all my friends here had never seen me with many many Chinese people before,
Here's a picture... Hhahaaha

Went to meet some of my old friends on Saturday in Sunway Pyramid. Knowing it was a bad day to go out, as there ware demonstrations in town, I still went anyway.. kinda figured out that I was heading the other direction, so it would be ok.. and sure enough. :)

The Good Souls

2009-07-25T23:27:00.002+08:00

It started yesterday evening when we all gather at Steven's Corner for our usual Friday Night Mamak Session. I had earlier attended the Operafest Children's Choir and so I got to steven's a lil late. It was roughly about 10pm and we went on as Aroon and his Chinaman friend joined us. We had a special guest who came back from UK a few weeks ago (courtesy of Kevin Luke Michael)
I had put our new toy of which Jonard, Bhusan, and myself made earlier in the day inside of the car boot. SO when all 6 of us were quite done sitting in Steven's, we like went to test our new toy in Taman Jaya, PJ. 6 dudes in 4 cars rolled up to the parkinng lot in Taman Jaya.
And so we opened my car boot and started fixing our "cannon". Test fire over and over again, still didn't seem to work. oh well.. Upon our arrival, we had actually noticed a bunch of machas at a hut in a near but dark corner.
After minutes of trying to get the cannon to work without any luck, I ajak-ed Bhusan to go for a ride with me. So i said to Yeow : "Yeow, a chinaman must drive a Benz, I take your Benz for a spin arr.." or something similiar.
And so the 2 of us went for a drive in his E-Class.. by the time we got back less than 5 minutes later, the 4 guys said they heard a woman screaming as if being raped.
They said the sound came from where the machas were.
Not daring to confront them as they might have weapons, we fled the scene to about 500 meters away. BEING GOOD CITIZENS OF MALAYSIA, we took it to the law. We decided to call Polis DiRaja Malaysia for help. I called twice with no answer and so I called Bukit Aman and instead of sending over a patrol car right away, the cop asked me to call some Special Task Force Unit or something like that from PJ.. he gave me the number and I called. They got my number and told us to hold. The patrol car came only 23minutes after the call.. the poor girl could have been killed by then.. But of course the machas fled before the cops arrived..
It happened around 3AM saturday morning so maybe it will be in the sunday papers.. if anything had actually happened.
After that, we went to subang to have our second mamak session. Send Jonard to his home then went to my house to grab a few things like the boat and paddles and stuff then off for our boating trip at 6 something in the morning... craziness lol
since it was only the 2 of us, we took the small boat. Got back around 3 PM. Zzzzz

TRMT Corp

2009-07-20T23:18:00.005+08:00

Preliminary plans to acquire a controlling stake in TRMT Corp are still underway. Becoming the Largest Single Shareholder is the main objective by obtaining approximately 30% of the corporation and efforts have been dating back to as early as 23rd November 2008. TRMT Corp has so far, gone through it's first recession and after that difficult period, it has been recovering well. TRMT Corp's shares are expected to sour in the near future. We are lucky to have been able to acquire certain shares in the month of July 2009. TheLongAndWhiningRoad had earlier faced a financial crisis of it's own and other projects have managed to salvage the company.

Minimal activity were seen from the month of August until late September 2009. A plot was soon engineered by TheLongAndWhiningRoad. The plot had failed but however, the impact was still felt. It was that period that TheLongAndWhiningRoad
considered deeply on the proposal of a sudden take-over of TRMT Corp.The proposal was later turned down due to other uncertainties.

TRMT Corp had in early November started a project of it's own but it was only until mid November when TheLongAndWhiningRoad made a sudden appearance in TRMT Corp.

The Longest Day

2009-07-19T21:33:00.003+08:00

The Longest Day started Friday evening (17th July) when I started to pack some stuff. By the time Kinng finished work and got over to my house, we had barely enough time to spare before Lucas came along with Jacqueline to pick us up for a quick mamak session at Steven's. Aroon or otherwise known as Aaron was busy with something else.
Soon after Lucas dropped Kinng and I back to my house, we both left towards Genting's.. And having a JPJ roadblock didn't really help in getting there any faster. It was about 1AM when we arrived and so we entered Genting Hotel as we were told by the girls. crept in the elevator and went straight to the 9th floor, walked up the stairs to the 13th floor thru the fire escape. (The lift refused to take us to the 13th floor) Being primitive people, we didn't realise that the 10th floor and above were suites and we monkeys are prohibited without a room key. OK, what goes up must come down.. then Kinng got smart and called the girls :) ok..so someone got the hotel wrong :s
Straight to 1st floor, then to Highland Hotel. Up to 13th floor then to room 13390. Finally!!
Now I know that it's possible to sweat in Gentings. Eureka!!

Played cards with the girls for a bit, then the PS2 then for a walk followed by a little to drink to keep us warm for the night. Woke up, read the papers..talk cock..made coffee..eat.. left.

By the time the 4 of us got down, we got hungry and ate in PJ Section 11. Sent Fiona and Shereen to Fion's home, went back to my house and slept for bout 2 hours before preparing for Kinng's birthday celebration at Look Out Point. All met up in Happy Garden before leaving and got there a little late.. ordered, talked cock, took pictures, wined and whined and blah blah blah.
Our good friend JOE was trying to make his way here and didn't quite know the way. Eventually we met up in Caltex somewhere don't know where... 2 cars met up back at Fiona's house. JOE managed to drove with only his left foot as he got cut and had 9 stitches on that night itself. Champion !! Went in 2 cars to meet Aaron and his 2 friends in Taman Petaling, PJ. JOE was seriously in pain and so we mixed him a drink to ease the pain.. well, he says it worked.
After some tani for Joe, Kinng sent yee mun and aaron home. while I drove Joe to my house and gave that poor injured man some supper and a bit more to drink. He was good to go and so I piggybacked him to his car just by the road. I slept after a bath which was around 4 AM..
Kind of unhealthy but anyhow, I hope I pass the essay.

2009-07-14T23:43:00.004+08:00

Just a few more pictures from the other day.. the rest can be found in my facebook :)
And yeah, you two K/C armens always stalk my blog but never say hi :(

Kinng and country

2009-07-10T18:45:00.005+08:00

Okay so my friends and I went on a boating trip in PD yesterday :) The 5 of us gathered by 9am and took off after breakfast.
We were lucky to find this "pakcik" who was kind enough to let us use his electricity as we wanted to pump up our boats quicker. So after all that, we finally headed to the shore and then started to paddle ! We brought both our boats along.. the big one to carry people and the smaller one for stuffs.
I think it was about 11 plus when the boats managed to reach The Island.

Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Above: Me posing with the half inflated Fish Hunter

Genting Trip

2009-07-04T20:11:00.005+08:00

Went up to Gentings the other day and spent the whole day at the theme park :)
The journey there after passing Awana was so misty that we had to on the fog light and we decided to let a car go slightly ahead of us to be our minesweeper. hehee And also, in one of the pictures, you can see that when we were at Dinosaurland, I managed to catch a real life baby dinosaur..and the species is said to be Pussysaurus or something like that. lolz

Letter of resignation

2009-06-30T00:17:00.000+08:00

I recently resigned from my part time job and so I thought I might as well write them a sarcastic resignation. They weren't the most kind to me and they always pay late so instead of a simple half paged letter, I wrote them this....

2009-06-29T23:55:00.002+08:00

It's been awhile since I last posted anything.. sorry for that.. I was a lil tied up with work and also the outings. lol
I resigned from my part-time job and am a little freer lately. Now Im looking for something... gtg !

Day Trippers

2009-05-30T23:24:00.003+08:00

Woke up after an hour's nap and made a call.. Kinng drove over to my place and we set off to Barisan Nasional land after breakfast. It wasn't long before we entered
Mohd. Hassan's territory. Parked our car on the sea sand and began to pump.
We paddled ourselves away from public sight and there we found an island. Decided to dock there and chill a little on the island while hiding from the late-morning sun. Got back home by evening.

2009-05-30T23:18:00.002+08:00

Went to some God knows what place Club in KL on Thursday night. Which was the day that Jaya Supermarket collapsed. She came and picked us up and after turning a few corners, we found ourselves in KL.. lolz Got back home really late. Slept for an hour and had to get up for the boating conquest.

2009-05-25T18:57:00.003+08:00

Paid a visit to an old buddy the other day. Picked up Firdaus and Kapteijn from Sunway then went over to Taman Desa where some rich kid stays. Hahaa
I remember those days in form5 during recess, Idham would call us, I'd drive to PJ Old Town..Idham and Kapteijn would run down to buy McD's and we'll go back to class to eat. One time we even bought pizza I think.. lolz
We never got caught for that.

2009-05-24T01:27:00.002+08:00

Guess who I met today?
It was World No.1 (Men's Singles) Datuk Lee Chong Wei !!!
He was walking around with his Girlfriend Wong Mew Choo.. They are really humble and nice people. Spoke to me in Mandarin sumore.. he asked me where to pay and stuff.. haha
Some kids caught him to take pictures and all..

The last one week

2009-05-18T18:43:00.003+08:00

When I was working last week, an European guy walked in with his bodyguard. He was asking about this and that.. after I found out he was Italian, I asked him from which part of Italy.. Came the answer "Milano"
And so I asked him : "La cosa nostra?"
He asked me whether I speak Italian.. I said no.
Then he said yes, he is a Cosa nostra.. Then he left.

The last one week I'd been working and didnt have too much time off.. so here are some pictures and a video of what happened.

In these bad times...

2009-05-12T20:14:00.005+08:00

It's been ages since i saw a pile of cash. It's always a pleasant sight and a lovely smell. And I always hate seeing money go. There's this company with government backing offering a joint venture. With promising returns...
Anyone who wants to know more about this investment can let me know :)It's got something to do with worms.

After all:
"Nak makan, nak cari makan, tak apa kita cari makan"
- Tun Dr. Mahathir

In these bad times, if you give me a coconut, I'd rather plant it than eat it. Lolz
Figure of speech? wtf? hahahaa

Gimme some truth, gimme some sleep

2009-05-12T20:04:00.003+08:00

Today at work we had a meeting at some cafe in mid valley..The manager from HQ keeps thinking that I was asleep during the meeting. I wasn't really listening but I wasn't asleep. Hahaha.
After seeing this picture taken earlier on today.. I think I know why she thought I was asleep.

Sampaikan Salam

2009-05-05T23:08:00.005+08:00

It was a working day for me today.. decided to take a walk around Mid Valley during my break. Walked to Speedy Music Store to check out some CDs and Movies.
Guess who i saw? A man with Afro hair just walked in the store.. didn't say a word.
It crossed my mind that it could be the guy from The Alleycats. Wanted to say hi but i wasn't sure whether it was Loga or David.. I forgot which one had passed away.
I stood next to him and was looking at P Ramlee while he looked at Alleycats. Then he walked off...
Wanted to shout : SAMPAIKANLAH SALAM !!! to him but he disappeared faster than a pickpocket. Ended up buying 2 movies; A Bridge Too Far and Funeral In Berlin.. both are old movies.

Anyway, I still haven't gotten my salary for April. So I'm broke.
Let's share and buy a boat.. watcha say?

Conventional convenience?

2009-05-04T17:28:00.003+08:00

Much of the untold stories that had happened in Malaysia are told in the foreign media. I see more rubber bullets in KL from BBC, CNN or even Al Jazeera rather than from RTM or TV3.

I remember once I was watching some foreign station and I saw that Anwar Ibrahim had returned to Malaysia from Germany.. It was like wth?? SINCE WHEN DID HE GET OUT OF JAIL?
The local media never said anything.. Anyway that was back in 2004 i think.

The internet fascinates me. I often like reading the news from my comp instead of the papers. Less wool over the eyes..can see better that way. A real convenience also.
Just sit, relax and read.
Browsing thru friend's blogs to catch up on the latest. I'd rather read than call :)
But then again, it's always a slight risk posting up too much personal info online. So be cautious not to divulge excess info. And thats why I dont have a link of my friends blogs here although I'd like to...

I downloaded an e-book for free.. then i bought the book in MPH later..Convenient as it may be, there's nothing like reading a book..a real book.

Lenggong

2009-05-03T23:20:00.006+08:00

Took a trip to Lenggong last week. It's one of the up-North districts of Perak. Went to visit a friend who owns an organic farm there. He's the first friend I have from Czech Republic.
The journey there took almost 4 hours. Finally reached Lenggong and he brought us up to his farm. The road there was "really fucked"..well, that's how everyone describes it lolz.
I drove up the hill or should i say mountain and my bro drove down.. It's about 1500 feet above sea level.. He served us some Plumb Liquor.. really good stuff.. homemade and guess what? it's i think at least 40% alcohol.. Neat!!
Here are some pics and a video goin down the mountain.

PS: I swear the actual driving was 10 times more scary than seen on the video.

For Love

2009-04-15T22:22:00.006+08:00

Was reading the papers and came across the Biz section. Saw some of the changes in Bursa. The Winners ARE : 1st Tasek 2nd Sarawak 3rd Msniaga 4th HLBank 5thBursa
And the top Losers ARE : 1st Jerasia 2nd MISC-01 3rd Perstima 4th BoxPak 5th Padini
Basing on the price, Tasek was up by RM0.50 to RM3.80 and Padini closed at RM 2.42 with a drop of RM0.08.

I was thinking that Ziwei Berhad should have ranked the lowest today if it existed.. with a lost of RM276….

A Few Simple Ways To See If You’re Smart

1) Ask a special someone to buy 2 tickets for a concert.
2) Pay extra in advance for the purchase.
3) Call her regarding tickets.
4) Find out that she can’t go.
5) Get a bunch of sorries.
6) But tickets were bought.
7) Have to collect tickets from her anyway.
8) Have to find someone to give tickets to.

In NO Bloody mood whatsoever to attend the concert with anyone d.

Tickets anyone?

The Things We Do

2009-04-12T21:42:00.004+08:00

I've been here and there the past few days.. I had always knew where Taylors and Segi was but not UCSI. Well, not until now. SO to find both Taylors and Segi is no issue at all. Went to UCSI with a friend yesterday early afternoon.. Looks like I wont be doing Business Admin there. Like the atmosphere though!

Bhai, if you're reading this, Listen!! GO ask luke to find BHA121 for you.. buy it as an investment.. But beware of accidents from the cars behind you. wth?
And also look at the picture you took (the bottom one)... it was supposed to be Ali G... :S

New-NEP

2009-04-08T23:24:00.002+08:00

The Global economic crisis has hit the world harder this year. You may have heard of this joke from the 1997/98 economic crisis.

God decided that the time has come and this world should come to an end. So God called upon the 3 world leaders; President Bill Clinton of USA, Zhang Zhi Ming Communist Party President and Premier of China, and most of all.. Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir.
God told the world leaders that the world would end in 3days.. and commanded them to convey that message to their respective people.

Bill Clinton said to the US people " I have good news and bad news. The good news is that God spoke to me, the bad news is that the world will end in 3 days."

Zhang Zhi Ming said : " I have bad news and worse news. The bad news is, there is such a thing as God. The worse news is that the world will end in 3 days"

Dr. M told the Malaysians : " I have good news and even better news. The good news is that God spoke to me. The better news is that our economic crisis will end in 3 days!! "

********* END OF JOKE *********

Here is something I thought of earlier today. As the heat of the economic meltdown kicks in in 2009, the Malaysian Government has introduced various plans and schemes to tackle it.

However, some say that it isn't very effective in boosting the economy. As some of us know that the population of Malaysia is 27.7 million. What if we hooked up with some of the 3rd-world countries or should we say the poorer ones... and introduce a scheme whereby say.. One Million Malaysians (the ones which are hit the hardest by the crisis) migrate there and start a new life and perhaps start a little enterprise..

Assuming each of the One Million brings along RM 5000.. there would be 5 Billion Ringgit... it means 10 Trillion Ruppiah or 9.5 Billion Yuan or 37 Billion Rupees. A real boost for their economies.

Then we one way or another, get one million Matsalleh fellas from The US of A to migrate here. Those guys who just can't make ends meet living on the dough why not? say each person brings USD 5000.. That's about 17 Billion Ringgit pumped into our economy.

PS: One million more in a third world country won't make much of a difference and vise versa for the first world countries.

Does that not help the crisis globally?

Hmmmpm.. watcha say about the NEW-NEP ??

A Quickie

2009-04-02T01:11:00.003+08:00

Just a quick update.. Im downloading this song called Real Love..I rewrote part of the song to suit the situation and that sorta feeling between my sweetheart and myself.. a simple yet beautiful song.. They say that songs which are from limewire may contain viruses so now Im using easyMule.. man.... it's in chinese!!
I can afford to stay up a little late tonight coz work starts at 4pm tomorrow. Im just going through blogs and cutting songs.

Owh, and I was in PJ SS2 yesterday.. Saw this volvo for sale...in very good condition but going for RM32,ooo...........out of da question Joe!!

2009-03-29T01:13:00.006+08:00

Its 1 something in the morning and the time on my comp reads 4:01AM.. I think its because I have the habit of removing the battery from the laptop while using direct current..It prolongs the battery life supposedly..

The past 24 hours I did a few things... hmm.... let me see, went for yumcha session till 4am? woke up and attended Catholic High School's Interact IU in the morning... CHS is my brother's old school and so I drove in like a hero oni.. cey...hehehe.
I remember once I went to CHS many years ago maybe when I was say... 13 or 14? I went to their Prefect room and conteng-ed some crap on the door.... ok so back to the point, IU.. the songs were good but the play could have been a little better. I remember those days I had to dress up in full Leo uniform and stuff. I wore my old LEO name tag there today.

Went for early dinner and attended the Puchong Community Orchestra and Choir concert in Shah Alam to show support for some family friends. They were fab!!
btw, YB Teresa Kok was there too :)

The Great Escape 1963

2009-03-21T19:47:00.003+08:00

Watched the movie I had been wanting to watch for the last few day.. The Great Escape.
I've watched it a long time ago. Oh no no.. not when it was first released. lol It's a good movie and there's much that can be learned from it.. to synchronize and to harmonize while being tactful.
Staring Steve McQueen and James Garner(I think he resembles Pierce Brosnan).
Owh and I took these pictures and a video while watching...it's 3 and a half hours long almost.

Steve McQueen appearing in a Philips ad?

James Garner

PS: Jennifer Garner is NOT James' daughter.

Lyrics for The Night Chicago Died

2009-03-20T18:38:00.001+08:00

About a battle between the mobs and the law. But in actuality, the incident never took place.

The Night Chicago Died

In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still

When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
With the forces of the law

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed

And the sound of the battle rang
Through the streets of the old east side
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died

There was shouting in the street
And the sound of running feet
And I asked someone who said
Bout a hundred cops are dead

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed

And ther was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my mama's face
And he brushed her tears away

The night Chicago died
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed

The night Chicago died
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be

The night Chicago died
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed

2009-03-19T21:39:00.002+08:00

Woke up late today.. extremely late in fact........ Couldn't quite sleep last night. So i tuned in to Lite fm.. there was this old song i found kinda catchy : The Night Chicago Died by Paper Lace.
Still wide awake so got up and made myself supper... cracked 2 eggs, sliced some cheese, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper and into the toaster !! It's easy.lolz

Owh and by the way, the 4 number didn't strike.. I bought 1089.. It opened 1080. Bugger!!!
almost got RM2500... say my cut is 10%, thats still something.haha

2009-03-17T01:09:00.001+08:00

2009-03-14T17:00:00.002+08:00

Was having my lunch in Jaya33 earlier today when a call came in. My fiend wanted me to help him buy a 4D number. so on the way home, stopped by and bought it. The number is 1089.. he asked to buy RM 5.00
If it strikes, I want 10%. hahaha

A Calm Before A Storm

2009-03-13T18:08:00.003+08:00

No ropes after all...
Results weren't as bad as I had expected it to be... It still ain't good though.

I just read this:

"Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur will see a 65-storey Four Seasons building rise up alongside its iconic 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers, a report said Friday.
The tower, which will include a hotel, apartments and a shopping mall, will be completed by 2012 despite the global economic crisis, developer Syed Yusof Syed Nasir told the New Straits Times.
The daily said the project, known as Four Seasons Place, was being built by a firm controlled by Syed Nasir along with Malaysian tycoon Ong Beng Seng and the Sultan of Selangor. "

Ong Beng Seng (OBS) is ranked no. 12 amongst Malaysia's richest. He's also associated with Hard Rock..... hmmm.. not bad eh? I wonder what'd I do if Im worth USD 580 Million...

They say that there's a calm before a storm. Probably these guys figured out that theres a calm after the storm as well. smart eh?
But going for RM2500 per square foot will be a challenge.

Sun is cold and rain is hard

2009-03-08T18:17:00.007+08:00

A return trip to Malacca yesterday. Drove half the way there and half the way back... I wonder if it reflects my personality.... lol
Neways, spent most of time walking from shop to shop and stall to stall... the food there was nothing to scream about.. The Melaka Sultanate Palace lies at the foot of St. Paul's Hill. I think the tourists would stand a greater chance of getting lost in CHS...
It was as sunny as any other day and started to rain in the evening.. Luckily we brought along the treasury to bail us out of the restaurants. hahhaa

Oldtown White Coffee : NO PORK at all!!

Gans & Noses

2009-03-06T17:42:00.006+08:00

Recently, I got myself indulged in certain odd delicacies..
my school friend brought me to a night market about a week ago.. there, we bought some fried Bishop's Noses... lol Cheap!! real cheap..
It was tasty but perhaps a little fattening. went back for more the other day..

And I'm sorry I hadn't been updating my blog often enough.. well, not that I've been very busy or anything.. But yeah. Hahahha i'll be a son of a "Gan" !!

Today I searched all over the house for my result slip for MUET which I took in 2007. I found it in an ordinary pile of miscellaneous papers... it is perhaps the "Keep first la.." instinct which I have in me that you know... enable me to find old stuff from all over the house which i kept ages ago.. it usually takes a day of 2 to locate anything in my house..
efficient eh? hahaha

Picture of the day..

2009-02-01T09:53:00.000+08:00

Went to my friend's party at her home last night in sentosa. Just a simple get-together..nothing much. stoned a little...oh..not the drunk kinda stoned.. haha. Forgot to swallow a slice of butter before going though.
Got back home early and it was time for bed... trying to get into the habit of sleeping early these days.. find that if i sleep early, its much easier to wake up early as well.. can safe a couple of hours. not bad eh? lolz
So here's to a brand new day!!
Good morning and siapa mau belanja me breakfast? gimme a ring.

Cool wind in my hair as I sat at the back of a new coupe my friend drove on the way back from Ijok he little constituency with much publicity from it's by-election last year or was it the year before?
Left arm resting on the door and the right hand holding on to a briefcase. Deaf-loud music to keep us awake at that time of night.. cruising at the speed of 80 seemed bloody fast.
The road was pitch black and certain stretches.. you could look at the mirror and see NOTHING !!

We passed by places like Batang Berjuntai and Bukit Bandong.. the oil palm plantations were hardly visible as we could only see the silhouettes. Later on, I took the wheel just to test it out..I drove a little before we ended up to fill petrol.

Back home then took a bath and ZzzzzzzzzZZzzz............

And here I am.. So Good Morning to you!!
Rise and shine!!

CNY time of year..

It's raining more than ever these days.. the sun is up, the sky is blue..
next minute, it comes pouring !! Was on the phone with a friend 2 days back and after that. Decided I gotta see Kampar Town one day!!

And I think I'll be a lil busy this 3 days. First, going for a drink with an uncle. He says it's gotta be a taxi-job... Saturday evening will be attending a party in a friends house. And oh yeah, tomorrow.. still uncertain but might be visiting an old friend.
So hoist up your John B Sail !!
Bye for now.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!

I ain't got much to say.. but I hope this year will be a better year for everyone... may there finally be peace in the middle east. The price of crude oil had also fallen drastically last year just as it soured.. The current price is bout....USD35 a barrel? ok wert... lol

Hope Obama does a better job than George Bush.. but then again, almost anyone could...
May there also be change in Malaysian politics. I doubt our new PM will do a splendid. We need change...
Because......

I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

I’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama’s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
It’s money for dope
Money for rope

Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.

Oh boy, when you're dead you don't take nothing with you but your soul.

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.

Get back to where you once belonged.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way,
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind I've opened up the doors.

Remember, to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?

There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

You know it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
Pride can hurt you too.

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.

We can work it out.

As we live a life of ease,
Everyone of us has all we need.

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

History is the triumph of the heartless over the mindless.

Drinking is the triumph of the cashless over the soundness. ??
Went for a friends wine party yesterday evening at bout 7.30pm... jammed like mad on the way there. But I should have known better than to drive at that time......
We had turkey, lamb, salad, wine, baileys, wine, gin, JD, and wine. no cheese though.
After dinner, we played Truth or Dare. Went for mamak at bout midnight.
blah blah blah... went home bout 2.30....

Back

Guess who's back? Haha.. back from the PD trip.
My friend drove there in his Iswara most of the way. We reached there after midnight, sat down for some Roti-banjir before taking a walk by the sea. Decided to drive on to another spot and found a nice area by a resort. So we simply sat up our tent and dug a trench so we could put our feet in while they played guitar and whine a lil.
We didnt sleep and started walking around and this nice chap came up to us at bout 6am. First thing he said was "Good Morning" I returned his gesture.. then he said "Malaysian?" haha
turned out that he was a korean Pastor on a vacation there. Nice chap!!

Soon after that, we packed and hit the road again. Found a public camping spot and decided to check it out. I saw this island nearby and suggested that we swim or float over there to check it out. We discussed and finally we agreed to walk along the coast to the nearest point to the island.
There we climbed on a man made gabon wall sort of thing. it took us 1oo meters out. From there, we hopped in the shallow waters of the lil island. Most of it was mangroves and had only a little land high tide. Maybe 500 square-feet? So there we stayed for the night.
Made a fire, barbecued chicken, friend eggs, roasted potatoes..

We inflated old lorry tubes we brought along and used them as floaters :)
Overall, we had a great time and took our mind off things for a few days.
For me atleast.. hehehe

Was overwrought so slept for 13 hours today..
:)

People of the inhospitable regions has come to join us. It is our savior for
the river flooded every summer, depositing fertile silt on the plains. Giving every prince of this soil a piece of its share.

Down to PD

2008-12-12T00:13:00.000+08:00

Making a lighted trip to Port Dickson next week and that had inspired me to change my blog from ziweism.blogspot to thelongandwhiningroad.blogspot
it's simply because the 4 or 5 of us going to PD will probably be whining in the car on the way there. hohoho.

2008-12-05T18:40:00.000+08:00

The sun is up
the sky is blue
it's beautiful
and so are you
everybody had a bad year
everybody had a good time
everybody had a wet dream
everybody seen the sunshine
something in the way she moves
attracts me like no other lover
there are places I remember all my life though some have changed
some forever not for better some have gone and some remained
this is so so so random

NO Evil !!!

Speak no evil, hear no evil, do no evil, and see no evil.
Complete soundness.
