My Chaotic Life

It's 4.30am right now and I am still awake. Despite the fact that I've only had 3 hours worth of sleep within the last 24 hours, I am still unable to sleep. Too much plagues my mind right now.

All of a sudden, my whole life went from stable and steady to one that is completely topsy turvy and chaotic, pulling me in all sorts of direction. This isn't the first time, but it has been a long time since I've felt this sort of chaos in my heart.

There are times when I find it difficult to breathe, the cause of which I have yet to ascertain, and times when I find that my mind cannot focus at all on anything and times when I refuse to sleep, although I know I want to, for fear of the dreams that might come with it.

Well, there's that and then there's also the fact that Joshua's coming home from Brisbane today and I've got to pick him up. PSYCHE!!!

Happy Birthday YOU OLD FUCK!! Pt. 2

Right, in my previous post, I mentioned that it was Sher Win's birthday and I even called him an old fuck. I also mentioned that my birthday was 19 days away, so guess what? It's that day! SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, YOU OLD FUCK!!!



That's right, I turned 21 yesterday! And yes, that picture was taken whilst i was wasted and I just woke up. Why? Nursed this:


At the stroke of midnight.. Ahh, legal beer..

That was of course, right after a sudden, and unexpected request to escort Xin, Xiao's older sister to the Malaysian Video Awards friday and me, being the very free (as in, I really have nothing to do) man that I am, said okay. Why not? I loved to see these type of things, I attended the Gunn Report during my tenure with McCann Erickson, I wanted to attend the Kancil Awards but I missed out on it. Although it isn't really advertising related videos, but hell, it's a free movie, as Xin so bluntly puts it.



But the speaker.. was.. BORING!!! Seriously, I was going to fall asleep before the damn thing started!

Haish, but I lasted through it. Some videos were really good and I mean seriously good. Had a few favorites, but if only I could remember the names, eheh. Ah well, had a nice time though, got to go out, take my mind off the chaos that is my life.

But that was Friday night, this is my birthday! So, I wake up reallll early, like 6.30am cause LIONEL FREAKING CALLED ME!! Wei, kawan, not school day okay?? I know la you wanna wish me happy birthday, but 6.30 am man? like 7 people beat you to the wish already. But thanks anyway, dude. At least not like my parents, they totally forgot.

Hint like crazy that it was my birthday and they still didn't get it. Mahai, they even tried to coverline when I told them they forgot my birthday.

Fell asleep, woke up at 10am, did my usual thing in the morning and went to meet the emo xiao for lunch.



Look at that, isn't that the most emo look you can get? Especially from when standing on the escalator?

Anyway, to move on, Xin, having woken up too late for her script writing workshop (Not my fault ar, I already gave you wake up call you don't wanna wake up your problem) And she joins us, then Xiao grabs the camera and decides to camwhore a bit



And she had to take that picture. You can see the blurdy pink bags I'm carrying! They bought shoes wei and they made me carry them! Wei, whose birthday wei??!


Right.. Anyway, That's all for that day, didn't do much after that. Meh, slowest birthday ever..

"Dude, Where's my Question Paper!!??"

Today has got to be a first for me. I woke up at 7am, to wake up Lionel and then I fell asleep and woke up at 8am myself. No, that's not the gist of this post.

No, no.. the gist is, I had an Effective Reading exam at 9am today. So I hastily got ready and drove to college. I got there just in time to see Mr. Justin briefing my classmates who were already in there.

Jadi, masuklah aku (So, in I go) into the class and took my seat where my answer sheet laid, waiting for me to stab it with my pen and write inane nonsense.

"Okay, you may begin answering the questions" said the chief invigilator, who noted that the exam was now starting on his check pad.

Slowly I flipped through the sheet of paper that was under my desk just before and I flip and flip and I found no question. "Mahai..." I muttered as I put down the paper. Of course la, I thought that maybe it was just my paper, but then I looked around, everyone else also couldn't find.

"Sir, where's the question paper?"

"It's there on your table..."

"No it isn't. It's just text, no questions"

"Odd.."

Yeah, no questions. So after a few minutes, guess what? USM didn't send us the question papers!

Now, imagine if you will, a class of students, some of them are already working and they took a short leave before they had to run off to work again, were sitting for an exam with no questions.

Bugger, I know la it's effective reading, but takkan want to test us to read right? Chi seen! So me and Lionel made jokes!

"So how ar if they don't have the question paper here?" <-- Me

"Of course la they courier!"

"Hahaha, don't tell me have to wait for 5 hours for exam paper"

"Where got, you see la got courier with RXZ flying down the North-South Highway at 200kmph. 2 hours already he's here"

Wah lau, happy la that courier if he could do that. Career opportunity. I can just imagine the conversation:

Chief Examiner: Mat, I need you to send this exam paper to Taylor's College.

Mat: Huh? Where's that?

Chief Examiner: It's in KL

Mat: Huh??

Chief Examiner: Do what you have to, but these papers have to reach Taylor's College by today!

Mat: Okay boss! Boleh ambik RXZ saya tak?

Chief Examiner: Take it la, up to you...

And then those of you travelling the North-South Highway will find a smiling blur flying past you at 200kmph.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I Miss the Days...

Being on holiday, and recently single, has given me time to really reflect on my life. I don't really know whether it's the lonely apartment or the ulcer in the back of my mouth talking, but I miss the days...

When I would sit down with my parents for dinner

When I could go through life without worrying about anything at all

When all I had to do was make a phone call and one of my parents would be here to comfort me

When I didn't have to think about what to do past 5 minutes of when I was thinking

When I was the one doling out advice on how to get that girl to all my friends but yet was hopeless myself

When the world seemed so much more like a happier place

When policemen were honest, or at least when I didn't realize that they weren't

When I could trust everyone and not worry about a thing

When I used to think that Love had actual meaning

What the hell happened to me? When did my entire world fall apart? Am I going insane?
I really have no idea anymore...

Harry Potta' and Da' G!

You wanna know what I love about going to the movies? It's the way they shorten the names of the movies in the tickets. I've seen some very weird ones but somehow this one struck me. I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today. No reviews cause I wasn't really analyzing anything, just admiring Hermione in a dress (Bah! but I digress. Anyway, while waiting for the line to be let through, I notice the name of the movie on the ticket.



So, now what would the G on the ticket signify? Obviously it'd first be:



But nope, first thing that ran in my mind was Harry Potter and the G Unit and quite frankly, I blame that train of thought for the next picture:



As usual, pictures of Harry Potter do not belong to me, not does the picture of G-unit, but that last one and the first picture is my work and is thus watermarked as so. You Harry Potter fans who take offense to this, talk to GSC for writing the ticket the way they did. AHAHAHHAHAHA

I'm So Sorry, So Very Sorry

I write this with a very heavy heart, but it has to be written. I would like to first say that I acknowledge that the actions described below are indeed jerkish and I do so deserve the title, but in my defense, I didn't really want it to end the way it did, but it did in the end.

Today, at 9.00pm Malaysian Time, I ended my 17 month relationship to a wonderful girl, Khim. She didn't do anything to provoke this ending, it was entirely my decision and I take full responsibility for my actions. I never thought that I'd feel the way I do, but I do nonetheless.

Why did it have to end? For one, she lives in Brunei, a place that I would probably not set foot in for a million years for lack of resources. Sure she comes to Malaysia every once in awhile, but in the 17 months we've been together, I've only been with her for 2 weeks, physically. I know it's a little materialistic but I am a man and I do have needs. I can't go out and do Single's activities because I'm not single anymore nor can I go out and do Couple things because, well, I don't really have a girlfriend handy to go out with.

Another reason is that I am graduating soon and I will start working shortly after. Thus I will more likely be concentrating more on my career than anything else and in so doing, knowing how the advertising industry works, will not have much time for her and that wouldn't be fair to either of us.

The last reason is that, well, I haven't really been introduced to the family, or at least the family doesn't know that I am in fact in her life. It could be a race thing, she being chinese and me, of course, a malay and her parents being your average conservative family would mean that they won't exactly be happy with her decision to date me.

I know it's selfish of me to break up with her for reasons that are so dumb, but I have worried about it for a long time, especially during our first year anniversary when neither of us could be together on that special day of our relationship. 1 year we lasted and I really couldn't have been happier if she could be here or I could be there for her. But I wasn't born privileged, or at least privileged enough to be able to fly to Brunei on a whim and her father doesn't want her to come here because.. well, she doesn't really have reason to...

So if you women want to call me selfish or you guys wanna call me Whipped, do so but know this, I loved and still love her very much. I regreted having to make the call, I regret making that call, and I know I'll forever regret making that call. But nonetheless, it was made and I have to live with that.

Kitty in the hole!

So, I was driving to my local Giant Hypermarket today when out of the blue, something white came out from under this Harrier in front of me. Now a quick glance would tell me it's something light, until i saw it's eyes.

Yes, it's eyes. It was at that moment that I also saw its mouth and nose and recognized it to be a little kitten. "Oh my GOD!" I screamed and swerved to the right to avoid from turning the poor furry little thing into street pancake. I did well to, the poor frightened little kitten rolled on and on, avoiding more cars (OMG!) and finally landing near the sidewalk.

It was probably the most frightening thing in my life and a nightmare come true, especially since I'm a cat owner. I've often kept my cat away from the front door, teaching her to keep away from it, but she never listens and still keeps peering out of the grill. A cat's curious, what can I say but for the time being, that's as far as her fat furry body goes.

Anyway, I turn the car around, stopping it by the side, looking for the poor kitten, wondering if it might need medical help and if so, I have a regular vet that could probably help out. But to my surprise, it wasn't there anymore. I have no idea what happened. My cat, as a kitten, had been frightened before and she couldn't move for the longest time (3 hours) and that was just from lightning. This cat's gone under a SUV and was nearly crushed by 2 other cars, mahai, how the hell could it still be moving.

There are only two conclusions I can come up with is:
a) Some good samaritan stopped by before I got there to pick up the kitten, presumably for medical care or
b) This cat, being a genetically-engineered Super Cat with absolutely no fears, managed to get up and run away from the scene of the accident before I got there.

Sigh, I can't really blame anyone for this; for all I know the Harrier driver did swerve to avoid the cat, thinking that going in between the tires is still okay. The cat, being a cat, was probably careless but it'd be silly to blame a cat now wouldn't it? Sure, my cat gets blamed for messing up the house but it's still me cleaning up the place.

Traumatic experience yes. It's a vivid reminder of why I keep the blurdy furball in the house at all times.

To Take Down a Plagiarist

Wow, I didn't expect this to happen but a full fledged war has been declared on Kahsoon.com by just every major player in the Malaysian blogosphere.

All this as a response to his threatening to sue Rojakz. And he cites he knows internet law. Oh wow, a plagiarist talking about internet law and how he's going to sue someone for it.

He's been a walking target for lawsuits for such a long time and now he's getting it right in the cojones. Petitions have been drawn up, buttons made, this is definitely a cause not to be passed.

Aww, and he even made a whiny post asking people to give him a break. OH WOW, he's begging for a break, he must be f0rgiven!!11one. Oh please, he never gave anyone a break, so why should we? Summore ar, he claims that if we're not using WordPress, we should just STFU. Oh wow, you use WordPress? Oh gee, that's right, we should all get on our knees and bow to you right? Fuck you! Using wordpress doesn't make you a better blogger, it's just software, a bunch of code put together to make a superior blogging management system. Did you write the code? I don't think so.

No, what makes a blogger is the capability to churn out ORIGINAL content that reflects what you want to say; it is about typing using more than just three buttons on the blurdy keyboard! So what if he has tons of visitors per month? Means nothing if they're just there for like 3 second, see that it's just a waste of time and then they move their lil' arrows to that nice small X on the top right corner of the window to close it.

Now go sign the blurdy petition!

Exams!

ARGH! God damn it, I had an Islamic Civilization paper yesterday and I've just got one thing to say about it; IT'S A FUCKING KILLER! Bloody hell, already failed it once last semester (Got a C-) and now I'm wondering am I doomed to fail again? By my calculations, I've got 50% of the answers correct, BUT they'll minus a 1/4 of a mark for every wrong answer I put on. How fucking unfair is that?

Of course, that's just a blooming rumor.. I'm not sure how true it is. Some people say they don't, some people say they do. All I know is that USM cut my marks for my Accounting paper for every wrong answer. Why? Because apparently we were outperforming the Students in USM when it came to those papers. So to fit all these high marks into the Bell Curve, they had to cut down based on the wrong answers. What gives USM the right to do this? I'm under their franchise program in Taylor's College, where I can study in english and where I don't have to touch a single BM dictionary for a long long time.

Sigh, All I can do is hope that I pass or if I don't, it's another semester for me...

A Nice, Quiet Potluck

Ahh, never had so much fun before last night. Had a little pot luck to celebrate the last day of classes and a sad farewell to the classmates. And the best part is that I didn't have to bring anything; Everyone else brought so much stuff that I didn't have to, well, except the ice la. Takkan I be so bad that won't bring a thing.

Arrived at Brenda's place around 7.50 and lo and behold, everyone's not there yet. Crummy Malaysian Timing... Around 8.15 only people started coming; Zijill came with fruit! Watermelons, Papayas and Oranges; an assortment of sizes too!

We first started by cutting the watermelon, which I could not resist making a very crude joke in my mind.

Indeed!

Yeap, indeed it entertained me for awhile, but seeing as the three of us (the three being Zijill, Brenda and myself) have had no experience cutting watermelon and the girls didn't have the strenght to push the buther's knife into the watermelon, I did it, with almost disastrous effect; almost lobbed off me bloody finger, I did! But it got chopped in half, and then the girls shoved me off =( to cut it themselves. Aww, damn and I wanted to help out in the kitchen so much.

...

Damn it Pam! I DID!!! (Meh, it's an insider joke, don't bother..)

...

But doesn't that watermelon loookkk gooooddddd?

Anyway, getting that damn thing cut was one matter. We also had a friend's birthday that day which me and Zijill took a short walk to Secret Recipe to buy a slice of Chocolate Banana Cake for her. Aside from that, we had Potato Salad, McDonalds Chicken McNuggets (I know, I know..) Lemon Cream Peach Pie, and a weird Orange Juice + Sprite + Longan mixed punch..

And Huey-Ling was late with the main course.. like 3 hours late!! But we had a surprise for her when she came!



And to be blunt, she was very very excited. No really, she actually screamed "HAMSTER!!!!!" when she saw the present. And she didn't just scream it once, she screamed it plenty of times. Woke up the whole house too.

And then Zijill fed her her cake.


And Huey-Ling showed her appreciation:

Yeah, welcome to my world... It's full of lesbians apparently.. Sigh..

Blurdy Sick

It's been more than a week and I'm still sick! My voice has improved though, at least I don't squawk like a parrot nowadays. Today I'm feeling particularly worse, probably cause of th extra Actifed I shoved into my mouth in the hopes that it'll hasten the healing process. Now I'm feeling real weak, so I'm off to bed.

Cough Syrup = Friend

Chicken Little | Curious set.. hmmm |RM0 Due for Astro Bill...

All right, I went to Pyramid yesterday with a few friends to watch Chicken Little yesterday.

Overall, I found the story to be very entertaining though I found that Fish Out Of Water to be my most favorite characters (although he says nothing but gibberish all the time). Story as you all well know is about Chicken Little who had inadvertantly put a whole town into chaos because he thought the sky was falling.

However, the story just doesn't fall into that plot, there are several subplot lines to follow, like how (SPOILER!!!) he and his father had been distancing themselves from one another, there's also the hate between the town and him, and apparently, they even made a movie out of the poor guys mishap. I won't reveal the final plot to you because it'd just spoil it.

Overall, very entertaining with a motley crew of sidekicks and a love interest for the lil' chicken, as they go about trying to first get rid of that whole falling sky stigma that covered poor lil' chicken and then saving the world from a falling sky.

----------------------------------------------------------

Also, I found this on the cash machine display while buying popcorn. No, it wasn't mine, but I am curious... (LAME!)



So, what the fuck is a curious set??!!

----------------------------------------------------------

This is just one of those "What the fuck??" situations, especially if you've never dealt with bills before, like me.



Yeap, a reminder for me to pay RM 0 to Astro..

Happy Birthday You Old FUCK!

Today is Sher Win's 21st Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD OLD FUCK!!! Okayla, I'm just 19 days away from you, fine lorrr, but until then, I'm calling you old fuck, okay?

Anyway, it's kinda early BUT we already celebrated his birthday back in Penang. See la you cibai, people fly back just for your damn birthday, parents can't even drag me back by car and I voluntarily fly back just to celebrate your not-so-birth day also. You better give my car a good polishing for this.

Woke up at 4 in the fucking afternoon morning just to drive to the fucking airport. Plane also damn late.


I'm sick summore okay?? Back paining all still can wake up, pack bag and fly off. You just lucky doctor said not dengue if not die lar you. Actually, more like I die, but I'll blurdy haunt you til you die sial.

Anyway, we went up to Genting Hill in Penang to go to a restaurant called Bukit Genting Hill (Hence, Genting Hill Hill). Tiu, name like that also can ar? Luckily the view is good, otherwise ar, won't even bother going up that narrow and steep mountain path. Speaking of which, Sher Win, you blurdy lucky the Honda Accord could fit if not we'd have to backtrack back home to pick up the Perdana and your Kelisa. Damn steep sial the hill, I was damn scared the Honda no power okay, and it was a fucking 2.4l engine.

In my altered state, I forgot to take a picture of the place but then again, there really wasn't much to take pictures of save for the view (which has absolutely nothing to do with the place).

Once we got there, it took 15 minutes for us to settle on a place to sit. Mahai! Got switched back and forth from veranda to hut to veranda to the main platform. All because some idiot doesn't know if the table was booked or not. Summore the first place we got wasn't good enough so when a table overlooking the balcony cleared, we jumped at the chance and sat!

But service was bad. really...



It took a blurdy long time for them to take our orders, even longer for the orders to arrive, and they BLURDY SCREWED UP THE DRINKS ORDER! They sent our jug of Chrysanthemum tea to another table, hence making us thirstier than when we arrived! Jibailan waiters! Some more the blurdy tables aren't really clean, the plates are even dirtier (we switched them 3 times!) and don't even get me started with the cups.

Summore this bugger had time to study!



The place had a lot of bugs crawling all over it as well. Siao, so the place ranks low for cleanliness, customer service and organization. You'd think that I'd walk out right? Nope, the food eventually came:



Now, doesn't that look good? It does, doesn't it? Looking at that just makes it worth the trip up there, but still doesn't make up for the bloody Diservice service or the time it took to bring the food out.

Beah! Nontheless, we were out of there immediately after we finished eating, took a few pictures and then we went straight to Sher Win's house for cake! Yay! Cake! Better yer, ICE CREAM CAKE!

Well, the cake actually read, "Happy 21st Birthday You Old Fart!" but they didn't even bother to spell fart right, instead it said, "Happy Birthday You old Fort!" Shit, now tell me where in that sentence does it make any sense now?

And while we were at Sher Win's house, tis time for a pillow fight!

Before and After

Funny stuff, really!

Anyway, to end it all off, here's some very good shots of the view of Penang from Bukit Genting Hill.

But this one is my best shot


And in the end.. the bugger's still studying...



(P.S. - I'm using a combination of Flickr and Blogger Photo Upload to bloody do this. Do be patient as I try to fucking figure out a better way of doing this...)

Blooooooooddddd~~!!

Sigh, I just got back from my trip to Penang. Went back there just for my friend's birthday party which we drove up to Genting Hill Hill (Insider Joke!) for some Thai food. However, that's not what this post is about. Nope, it's about blood tests!

Mahai, went back to Penang first thing I do is go to the medical lab near my house to get my freaking blood tested for dengue (I had gotten it once and the symptoms I had were close to dengue) and lo and beholh; as usual, the guys doing the stabbing extraction couldn't find a proper vein, so we did it by touch.

"It'll be okay," he said, "Sure this one is a vein wan.." he said..

Big mistake. I got impaled 4 times! And all 4 couldn't draw blood. Tiu! Jab in the right elbow pit and couldn't find a vein, jab also not instantly take out wan, they'll fucking twist the needle around inside and jab jab jab summore until you scream blurdy murder. Okay, attempt 1: failed. But wait til you hear attempt 2.

This time, attack my right hand, palm down. Worse, they didn't hit a vein, they hit a fucking nerve! The pain nerve to be exact. So I was screaming even louder than before and they pulled out immediately. Attempt 2: fail

Attempt 3: This time, my left elbow pit. Tiu, worse, can't fucking find a fucking vein, so simply jab wan. Think wat?? Pin the tail on the donkey ar?? Siao la, ppl's arm okay?? Lucky it wasn't my jerking off writing hand. Shit man, hurts like crazy.

Attempt 4: My left hand this time. Shit la, these people wasting my time. Sit down there for 30 minutes trying to find a fucking vein to extract blood from. It's like my blurdy body has evolved to become unprickable. So they jab once more into where they think my vein is. Once again, they hit pure muscle. Fuck! I'm a vampire ar?? Until no fucking blood come out after 4 freaking stabs jabs!

Accident 1: So now I'm frustrated, technician 1 is frustrated and technician 2 is also frustrated. Technician 3 is out in front taking a phone call. Yes, it took 3 med technicians to bloody figure out where my freaking vein is. So now, Tech 1 has a bright idea, just bloody jab into my left hand, pray that they prick a vein and grab as much blood by sucking it out of the wound.

I'm going to curse now, FUCKING SHIT TIU NIA MA KANINEI CHIBAI LAN JIAO TIU NIA SENG!!!! took them a freaking good 5 minutes to finally prick into a vein only they didn't bother to pull out the needle. Oh nooo, they extracted (FINALLY!) fully with the needle inserted and good god did it hurt.

Shit, so now 4 parts of my body are in blurdy pain, and I've got to drive back to my house. Covered in plasters, I was covered in bloody plasters. Another 2 - 3 jabs and I could've called myself Jesus Christ crucified at the cross. Shit!

Result? No Dengue.. All that trouble for bloody nothing.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Hey hey, it's finally over! I don't have to fast anymore, YAY! But on a more crappy note, I got sick on the last day of fast and of course, I was forced to break it, thus increasing the number of days I've skipped fasting to 4. Sigh, and also I'm sick on Raya day... How crappy is that? Here's the most Fantabulous part; my family members are away this year. Parents are in Nuremberg for a convention and brother's in the US doing his Masters thus leaving me to celebrate Raya all by my lonesome self.

Ah well, at least I get to skip out on the house to house visits.

LOL!!!11one Kingpin nipples!
