This is what I've been working on instead of writing anything here*. Now that it's done, I'll have to think up a new post. Or a new excuse. And yes, I realize that there have been a lot of YouTube videos on this blog lately. But this is different. This is mine. Well, it's also Cedric's. But also mine!

You know what freedom tastes like? Chicken. Yeah. I was surprised too, but who am I to complain? This is some goooood chicken.

As you've probably already guessed, I can't think of anything to write about. Somehow, though, I felt like I had to post something here.

So. Yeah.

You know what's better than having freedom? Being able to gloat about it.

HAHA, I'M FREE AND YOU'RE NOT!

This is my (much overdue) reply to Aaron's post about communism which was a reply to my claims that community service can only lead to communism. Enjoy.

Comrade say "Oh, my Mao", but is really evil fat lie of capitalist for to undermine Glorious Independant Happy Socialist Republic of the People. Is not "my Mao" or "your Mao", comrade! Is really everybody's Mao! "Yours" and "mine" is corrupt thinking of Imperialist west! Soon, you are wanting things like safety helmet and fried chicken!

Chick Lit.

People tell me that the "lit" is short for literature, but I am convinced that this is not the case, as such nonsense cannot count as literature. Now, for brevity's sake, I will narrow my criticism down to teen chick lit.

Teen chick lit claims to be about the lives and dreams of modern teenage girls everywhere. This is rubbish. It is really about American or British girls who are rich enough to live reasonably well, but deprived enough to allow them to despise the upper crust. Some people would argue "Not all chick lit is about upper-middle-class white kids!", but this is merely because some authors are kind enough to allow people of another nationality and social status to be shallow, self-absorbed twits.

Of Tea And Wedding Dinners.

The emo kid stares depressingly at his glass of Chinese tea. He has a bleak outlook on life, love, and of course, wedding dinners, which is a shame, because he happens to be at one. All around him, his relatives are acting in accordance to the great Chinese traditions, namely boozing, yelling, and yelling even louder as a result of excessive boozing. He shakes his head in a decidedly despairing manner, and wonders how many dishes have to be served before he can leave. He searches for the by now long forgotten menu underneath the mass of crockery and used napkins. Finally, he finds it, wipes off the spilled sauce, and-- "Crud. It's in Chinese".

He goes back to staring at his tea.

Survival of the fittest.

Over the ages, a select few of mankind have adopted the strategy of endlessly complaining as a means of self-defense. "A select few" being early Neanderthals (in the form of screaming and yelling), two-year olds (Again, screaming and yelling), and the first born in most families (*cough*). According to various accounts, logic and reasoning serve as good counters towards such people, but are to be used cautiously, as it makes them irate and hostile.

2. an idea of something formed by mentally combining all its characteristics or particulars; a construct.
3. a directly conceived or intuited object of thought.

RULE: Each player of the game starts off with the 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own 10 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!

1. I enjoy hoarding junk. Nostalgic junk.
2. I verbally smash most of the people I know. Then I jump them into the ground. Verbally. Then I rinse and repeat. Somewhat verbally.
3. I use too many fullstops.
4. I think Billabong, Quiksilver and the like are grossly overrated. And overpriced.
5. Playing "Tag" is the closest I'll ever get to mastering an organized sport. Pun not intended.
6. I write better than I talk. I also find it easier to converse on MSN than in real life. Go figure.
7. My bro and I are working on a clothing line. A very short line, but a line nontheless. Shameless marketing! The very best kind.
8. I get confused with the "i before e" rule and apply it in all the wrong instances. "Wierd", for instance.
9. [brag]I work out. Regularly.[/brag] Hey, it's a "little-known fact", right? Right?
10. I tend to lie when I do tags. :)

Of Oxymorons.

Yes, indeed. Once again, it is time to delve deep(-er than we should) into the mysteries of mother nature, pull out a strange creature, and toss it under a microscope to be examined against its will, often probed and poked 'till the verge of death (which does not come, much to the creature's dismay and disappointment). Yes, it is that time again.

This time around, we have brought in an oxymoron. "Oxymoron" being its scientific name, it is often refered to as "doormat", due to this terms simpler nature and somewhat accuracy. Contrary to popular belief, "oxy" in "oxymoron" in no way means that it bears any physical resemblance to an ox. In fact, oxymorons are often mistaken for balls of wool, messy blotches of ink, modern art, and such. Mental capabilities aside, they are quite different from oxen. "Oxy" instead refers to what they feed on: Oxygen. Oxymorons feed only on pure oxygen and dust particles in the air, which is lucky for them, seeing as they don't have eyes to look for food with. Physically, an oxymoron is about the size of a large hamster and is covered in a layer of thick, often tri-colored fur, as shown in Figure 1.


Figure 1


"Moron", on the other hand, refers to its intelligence, or rather, lack thereof. Indeed, due to their tremendous lack of mental and visual faculties, these creatures frequently end up killing themselves by running head-long into predators or more often, off cliffs. As a result, enterprising businessmen often gather by the safer of the two (namely, the cliffs), and gather oxymoron carcasses by the truckload. They then send them off to their respective factories and/or sweatshops to be mass-produced into rugs. Afterwards, said rugs are quickly delivered to tourist markets, where there is a roaring trade of pointless, decorative furniture.

To summarize this documentary, I present you with Figure 2: A diagram displaying the life-cycle of an average oxymoron.

Until next time, toodles.

Then why not just go to the other side? Because of the landmines and rabid mountain weasels between said two sides. And much to the dismay of many, many people, the result of doing so is only to see that the previous side looks suspiciously greener than before.

The moral of the story is: Never try.

This is it.

You perverts.

Yeah, I finally got my bass. It's a Fender Jazz Bass, which I found was more versatile as compared to the Precision Bass. It sounds pretty awesome. If my playing sounded out, it'd probably be because of me and not the guitar. Not too shabby Friggin' awesome for a first bass. Yep, this is as close as I'm gonna get to love.

At least for a while.

The Hunt Continues

So, I'm not done looking for a bass yet, but this time, I'm doing it online. Found an awesome-looking Fender bass. However, it comes at the hefty price of $607.12. Yeah, "$". As in, dollars. That's rougly RM 2100. Yep, it's gonna take lots of persuasion and cajoling to get this one. Much cajoling. Specifically, two parts charm, one part wit. Well, at least I've got the "wit" part covered.

Does this count as an accomplishment?

I finally wrote a proper profile, so read it. Or else... or else... erm, nevermind. And before you tell me I write like Aaron: don't.

Hunting Season : OPEN

So, my dad and I have been going around store-hopping hunting for a bass guitar for me. And today, after much bargaining with salespeople, trying to get around KL (which is harder than it sounds) and (many) other irritations, we found a pretty good one: a Hamer Sunburst Flattop Bass (Yay for long names!), which looks something like this, except mine's gonna be dark gray. Yes, "gonna". They have to bring their stock in from Singapore, which means I have to wait 'till about next Wednesday. Crud.

Rain, Rain, go away.

As of now, Rain is replacing Justin Timberlake as the celebrity I love to hate.




I recall one of his music videos consisting of one line of lyrics and very, very unoriginal backdrop. Plus, a person who has a single named "In My Bed" is not going to earn my respect any time soon. To make things worse, he's coming here. Crud.

Rain is coming. Get an umbrella. And possibly a few Uzis and a fast car. Tupac style.

Oh, right.

I guess now that it's technically already here, Happy Chinese New Year! To all you pasty Chinese kids out there (Fine, all you not-so-pasty Chinese kids too), I hope your family's reunion dinner was a productive evening filled with much laughter (at you), condescending aunts, and communal boozing. May your red, bite-sized packets of happiness be filled with many, many red bills, and God-willing, purple ones.

You blackhole, you.

You're a blackhole.

You're dense, and you suck.

Non-valentines-pseudo-barbeque.

How I spent the Valentine's Day night (Valentine's Night?), despite what some people choose to believe:

Pretty much the only person whom I knew out of the people who were invited was Jared. Thus, much time was spent showing him how CS is meant to be played. After that was the food, most of with was not really barbequed, as was pointed out many times during the meal. Cards (much to Jared's delight) and movies ensued, and soon the night was over. That's how I spent Valentine's Day night.

Take that, Hallmark.

Dynamics of Literature and Writing In This Day & Age



I need to learn to write like that.

Malay Literature

Having to read through a 238-page Malay novel is an ordeal no one should have to endure. Not even Hitler. Or Michael Jackson. I have yet to find a Malay book that does not contain one of the following:


  • A character who dies.

  • A mysterious cave/island/house.

  • Cheesy rip-off storyline.

  • Thieves.

  • Ghosts.

  • "Evil city folk".

  • And so on.

  • And so forth.

I think you get the point. Reading Malay literature is the equivalent of slapping one's self on the face with a stale and slightly damp fish: It makes your head hurt and it's utterly pointless.

Immortal Flashers

After doing some research on Chinese New Year, I found an interesting article on wikipedia.org about a chinese myth. Apparently, the basis of decorating/dressing in red (besides the whole "prosperity" thing, burning firecrackers and having lion dances is to scare away some sea-dwelling man-eating monster called the "Nian". Quoting from wiki:

"The Nian would come to China and eat up people it saw, but in some stories, an immortal was said to have made use of Nian's powers (eating up venomous snakes and killing wild beasts like tigers and lions) before taming it (by flashing his red undergarment to scare Nian, who feared the colour red). Since then, people put up red spring couplets to prevent Nian from coming back."

I'm sure you caught the funny part. Protect yourself from the Nian. Stock up on festive underwear.

It's that other time of the year again...

Yes, that time of the year. Though most refer to it as Chinese New Year, I prefer to call it payday. However, these large amounts of money don't come without a price. No, they come with condescending comments about your height (both vertically and horizontally), clothing, chinese linguistic skills (or lack thereof) and in my case, hair. Yeah, I'll be counting how many times I'm told my hair is curly (as if I didn't already know that) or asked if I permed my hair. I think I'll tell them I did.

Writer's Block

It's my way of saying "This isnt my fault!". No blog posts for you. Boohoo. I present you with this shoddily (Is that a word?) drawn block. Knock yourself out.

The Badass-est Potato

Not a real post, but...



"I am your father."


For those of you with deprived childhoods, that's a Mr. Potato Head. Except he's Darth Vader. At the same time. Darth.. Potato. Mr. Darth?

Darth Tater. Yeaaaaahh...

Because knowing is half the battle.

An educational video (aka "edutainment" *shudder*) on "How to be Emo". It's edutastical!.. Slap me if I ever say that again. Ever.



Disclaimer: If you are offended by silly humor, profanity (not more than you get at an average day at public school) or emo kids, please do not watch this video.

A Tribute

[emo]

After years of inspiring fear and dread into the hearts of drumsets and audiences alike, Billy, one of my Zildjian sticks has indeed, died. He passed peacefully while having his head whacked repeatedly against cymbals, toms and all manner of drum pieces.



Billy will be sorely missed, and not soon forgotten, as he and his twin cost me 42-bucks-or-so. Goodbye, Billy.

Stuck in my head

I think someday I might get sick of this song. Not today. Or anytime soon, for that matter.

Weaseling.

A creature that inspires more fear than stale yoghurt, PMR and Michael Jackson combined, it is (for lack of a better term) the Mountain Weasel.

As a follow-up to my last post, I have decided to further study these fascinating creatures instead of fiddlesticks. Those give me gas. Once again, I present you with our artist's close-up rendition of our specimen.





Ermm... ignore the red bits. Those are... uhh... computer glitches. Right.



As you can see, these critters are often grumpy and will not hesitate to maul you into tomorrow. Often preying on grizzly bears for sport, mountain weasels travel in two types of hunting packs: six packs and fun packs (Not to be confused with beer, abdominal muscles or Snickers bars).

These packs are lead by an Alpha-Weasel. Such a title is earned through years of weaseling their way to the top. With much effort, a cunning mountain weasel will finally ascend to become the Alpha-Weasel, until another out-weasels him.

As a word of warning, mountain weasels are often attracted to witty and sarcastic t-shirts (and the people wearing them) (NO, not *that* kind of "attracted"). This fact has resulted in the deaths of many, many cool people, which I suspect is the cause of the sudden epidemic of "homies" and "la-las".

More will come (eventually). Brace yourselves.


wea·sel n.
1. Any of various carnivorous mammals of the genus Mustela, having a long slender body, a long tail, short legs, and brownish fur that in many species turns white in winter.
2. A person regarded as sneaky or treacherous.

"Fiddlesticks"?

What's the deal with that? Have you ever wondered "What the heck is a fiddlestick?" when faced with such an exclamation? If so, you've come to the right place. Here, I will attempt to unravel the mysteries behind this elusive word. However, due to the.. challenged level of intelligence of many readers, I have simplified this presentation to easily digested pictures.

Figure 1: Fiddlesticks - To the uneducated layman



Figure 2: Fiddlesticks - The REAL Deal



Artist's rendition of a fiddlestick in its natural habitat.


Yes indeed. That is a fiddlestick. Found while flying through the Himalayas on my jetpack, I spotted it due to its luminous lime green bark. As a matter of fact, its bright spots are what protects it from it's natural predator: the mountain weasel. It's bright and gaudy colors often cause mountain weasels to attempt run themselves off cliffs, but the fiddlestick's Weasel-Begone™ gas sprayed from tiny pores found its bright spots often kill the mountain weasel before a satisfying crunch signifies their hitting the ground. However, after many, many tests, I have deemed fiddlesticks edible. Upon tasting, I found that they taste very, very green, and would accompany kumquat most excellently. More info on this fascinating flora as it comes in.

More important than Wikipedia, Xanga, MSN and this, it's..

The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency



It's everything you never needed to know about Vampires and Zombies (and Werewolves, too, apparently)! Is your neighbour a vampire? How do you fight hand-to-hand with a zombie? Are my posts going to get any more random in the near future? The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency has the answers!

I'm doubtful about that last question, though. Even a society of (clearly) upstanding and intelligent people such as the FVZA can't tell you the answer to that question.

LoL?

So, me and my bro have been working on this for about a week now. We're planning to get shirts printed with our captions on them. "Why??" you ask? For easy money, of course. Haha, naaah.. it's really because people keep asking us where we buy our captioned shirts, so we figured that since the demand was already there, why not capitalize on it?.. So yeah, actually, it's for a few extra bucks. We've got some pretty good stuff so far, and some of the designs are already on display on this blog.

Whine and Dine

First post of '07!.. but I'm mostly blogging this time out of boredom. So.. school is.. *okay* in general. Still looking forward to the weekend, though, mostly because of a (relatively) free Saturday and YC on Sunday. Otherwise, '07 is a bummer.

I'll eventually post something more entertaining (i.e with less moping and complaining). Bear with me.
