Wishlist 11.12.2008

I never understood why I post wishlists. They're such a waste of cyberspace and time. Perhaps sometimes feel I can get closer to my wishes by documenting them down and updating once in a while. Or maybe I'm too lazy to discuss about something useful? Lolz anyway, here goes:-

1. Life: More time
2. Vehicles: Suzuki Hayabusa
3. Mobile Phones: Sony Ericsson C902i
4. Games: Resistance

Interesting, if I remember correctly, having more time was also in my previous wishlist. As I grow older I find that time is no longer a luxury and there are far too many things to do. Guess its really high time to start prioritising a little more.

Bali 2008 post #2

Streets of Kuta City, Bali, Indonesia. Looks awfully similar to our own Bintang Walk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Another shot of Kuta City some 600 metres away from the first shot. The Bali bombing monument is that white thingie in the background. Note: All their taxis are Toyota Vioses!
A 'DOH~' moment. Very true though, the whole of Bali seem to be crawling with tourists. The only locals seen around the area are the people that work there.

Bali 2008 post #1

Being the village boy that I am - correction - that I was, this first trip outside of the country was really exciting for me. After planning for 2 months, I decided to head to Bali, Indonesia. It was a satisfying 5 days 4 nights visit - made even more satisfying because I had the company of my beloved princess. Yes guys, I am attached now and I think I'm the happiest man in the world right now but that a different story altogether. Here are some of the beautiful shots taken during our stay with a cheap-ass lumix semi professional camera along with some brief explanations:-
A shot of the carvings found at the uluwatu hindu temple entrance. Was trying to make the shot as artsy as humanly possible.

A shot of the 'pagodas' scattered all around the kelasdaton hindu temple.

The flames of hate and anger

Hello blog! It's been a rather long time since I last posted but do not fret, as here I am posting once again. A minor update in my life: I got mugged and lost my RM1,800.00 (at the time it was purchased) mobile. Thankfully, nothing happened to my well-being. So, a word of advice to everyone reading this: DO NOT FUCKING WALK ALONE AT NIGHT OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT GET YOURSELF MUGGED BY USELESS FUCKERS WHO GOT NO FUCKING BETTER THINGS TO DO. Lolz, that was a mouthful of 'FUCK's. I wished that I was holding a shotgun at the time it happened. There could be a chance that those bastards would get their melons blasted into oblivion.

PS3 babeh~!!

Finally, the long wait is over. After 2 agonizing years with the 3 red rings of death, this is the moment of truth. Playstation 3! *jumping around laughing hysterically* *clears throat* This here is a picture of the box prior to unwrapping. Unlike the Xbox 360, the PS3 is huge thanks to its big fans and heatsinks (something that the 360 lacks horribly). Although I've just become a proud owner of a PS3, I've yet to see how reliable it really is. Been through many and I mean MANY forums and reviews and the only problem this baby here has are the lens (as with any Sony product). Hopefully, the Playstation 3 will live up to its predecessors by being the longest serving and most reliable console in the market.
My new wife in all her 'boxless' glory. Amazingly, the PS3 is really well built. Regardless, I wouldn't throw her across my room for no reason. After plugging her into my crappy non-HD telly I wasted no time to play Racedriver: GRID. To my surprise, the images looked so much sharper than my Xbox 360. Colors were more profound and loading was quicker (I may be biased here..HAHAH). And of course, unlike the Xbox 360 which will produce a hideous whirring sound whenever you play it, the PS3 produces an almost sonic hum - sweetness. Anyway, time to go play again...

The Ass Bun and New Clothes.

Last saturday was my aunt's birthday and we were all treated to a nice dinner in a chinese restaurant. Food was great except for the obnoxious waitress whom I swear she only knows two words in the english language: 1. excuse 2. me. Anyway, towards the end of the dinner came dessert. To my horror, we were served with mini baboon asses. Just kidding, they are buns filled with 'kaya' but shaped to look like a peach. I believe it carries the meaning of longevity and good health. Oh yeah, it actually came with a 'tail' but I bit it off before snapping the picture. While taking the picture, I couldn't help but notice the bun was somehow 'sweating' under the dim restaurant lamps, giving it a sexy silhouette. To my left, my younger cousin's body was shaking uncontrollably from extreme laughter.
It's been almost a week since I last saw my tarantula and I was wondering if it died. Armed with my tweezers and a steel chopstick I dug the substrate and found an exoskeleton. The little fucker molted! It's now twice the size from when I first got him/her (at this moment, it is still androgeneous). Now the little spider is crawling around happily in his new outfit.

Bummer!

You know when sometimes you are set on getting something but in the end it does not turn out the way you want it to be? The feeling sucks eh? Anyway, this was what happened to me a while back when I was playing Lego: Star Wars on my Xbox 360, it crapped out yet again - the infamous 3 red lights of death. I had just spent around RM500 to get it fixed the last time and it was barely a month ago. Needless to say, I rushed it to the shop that repaired it. It was on the way home when I thought maybe I should get a PS3. Armed with all the information I could gather from the numerous forums I was set on getting a PS3 if my Xbox 360 was beyond repair (honestly, I was praying for that - i needed a reason to cough out RM2,000.00). A little over a week later, the technician called me and told me that the 360 was fine, it had just needed a firmware update.

... Now what do I do? Fuck it, I'm getting it anyway.

The quest for food. The Burger Liberators.

A few days back I watched Harold and Kumar goes to white castle. That really brought back memories as I remember a time when white castle was available in Malaysia. I can't exactly remember how a slyder tastes like but yeah, I still remember the ad. Well, after watching the movie I felt the sudden urge to stuff a burger in my mouth so I dragged my two of my best friends along to Burger King - I was fucking sick of McDonalds.

Ever since that fateful night with the double mushroom burger, we have vowed to go on a quest in search of the best fast food in Malaysia. We've also decided to call ourselves The Burger Liberators and so far we have sampled the burgers from A&W, Burger King and McDonalds and pitted their best burgers to a fight till death!

McDonalds (Leisure Mall, Cheras) - BigMac
Beef patty was too thin and flavorless. Cheese tastes dry and rubbery. Vegetables fall all over the place and it was kinda hard to put them in your mouth (maybe we had small mouths). Same old fries nothing special. It was not that bad except for the stingy servings and plasticky fries. We gave it a 6/10.

Burger King (Sri Hartamas) - Whooper
Generously thick beef patties and thick creamy cheese came with it. Lots of mayo also gave it a really satisfying bite (with sauces squirting in all directions). Bread was a little too fluffy to our liking though. Great servings and lots of sauce! We gave it a 8/10 as having free refills is absolutely killer!

A&W (Amcorp Mall, PJ) - Mozza Burger
Similar servings to Burger King except that it was served cold during our liberation. We've decided to give it another try on another day. Lots of pickles and they even put in slices of crunchy jerky. Healthy amounts of juicy lettuce and lots of Mayo. We gave it a 8/10 because it was served a little cold.

Next stop: Carl's Juniors (Midvalley, KL). At the next stop we will include pictures. This is such a crap post HAHAHAHA

bummer...

Tonight was a particularly happy night for me as the whole advisory pool was treated to italian food at 'Italianese' in the gardens, mid valley city. Food was great, I should've took some pictures of the carbonara, or maybe the giant green mussels - excellento! Anyway, they had some games after the food and somehow I got betrayed by the people and got dragged out as one of the participants. The game was to use every thing that you had on you to create the longest line in one minute and then keeping all of them back in another minute. Well, I won and they gave me a RM50 (equivalent to 15 USD) cash voucher. The bummer was...I FUCKING left it at the restaurant! ARGH.

Wishlist 14.05.2008

Actually, I've always dreamed about having something that is nigh impossible from time to time. So I've decided to compile an up-to-date wishlist for everyone to share. Who knows? Someone out there just might have that extra money to give...and make an idiot like me happy.

Wishlist 2008

1. Time
We only have one shot at life. Just. One. Shot. No inserting coins and hitting the continue button to have another go. I really wished I had more time so I could do the things that I really enjoy doing. 24 hours a day just isn't enough. Crap.

2. X2 My salary
That'll really help a lot in creating that stock-market provision fund that was never really created (lol). As with all the other provisions that I had planned to provide. ie: gaming rig provision, road tax provision etc.

3. The dark powers from the deep and fiery pits of hell
The one thing that I really wish for is that wildfire that engulfs me from within when I'm set on achieving something. I think the fire has somehow...shall we say eluded me. I remember going from zero to hero back in highschool when I really liked this girl and decided to prove myself academically. Man, I really kicked ass and life was so much more colorful when you have something to fight and strive for. It's getting a tad bit boring now and I want it back! I know that fire is still around...waiting to be unleashed once more in this cruel and unsuspecting world. *evil laugh*

The beast is BACK! Along with a nostalgic flavour.

A while back I sent my 360 for repairs. Finally, after 2 months I received a call from the shop telling me that it was ready for collection. This is a shot of the 360 placed on its rightful throne (my computer table). What you see on my screen is a intro video of Condemned 2: Bloodshot - an absolutely brutal first person shooter game where you play as Thomas Ethan, the main character who successfully solved the murders of the first game (Condemned: Criminal Origins) but later found out towards the end of the game that it was not really solved - can't really tell how the poor bugger felt when that happened . Must have been a total bummer. Anyway, he reappears in the sequel as a burned out version of his former self. Most probably kicking himself in the balls too much for the mistakes he did in the first game. But guess what? The bad guy is back! More murders! And this time Mr. Bad Guy gives him more clues as to why he kills people. Eer..I don't really know what happens next because I have not finished the game yet. Undoubtedly one of the most disturbing titles for the Xbox 360. No fucking regrets, Ha! A small sideline - if you noticed, my gear is mostly black with blue lights...the Xbox 360 somehow looks 'sesat' with its white enclosure and green light. Nevertheless, I think I love it more than jacking off. If only it was not soooo problem ridden.

While I was waiting for my 360 in the shop, I stumbled upon this rare gem. Come on, who does n't remember Icewind Dale? The best part was, it only cost RM 49. Without second thoughts, I immediately snatched it off the shelf. Ah... installing game really made me recall those times when games like Xcom: Apocalypse, Quest for Glory, Earthsiege and Doom were hot. But it mostly reminded me of Fallout and Fallout 2. Obviously, it was the intro credits. Fuck, where can I get Fallout boxed sets? Really miss Arroyo, Sulik, Mutants and the Power Armor. But hey, I bet nobody could've forgotten about the infamous 'EEERRRAAAAGGHHH' when you shoot someone in point blank range with a minigun. Damn! :)

The meaning of life.

Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you the meaning of life! Hellboy!!!! A while back I was always thinking of collecting the whole lot of Mike Mignola's stuff (the fucker's a genius by the way) and these 4 graphic novels kickstarted it. Anyway, today's blog isn't really about hellboy although I love HB down to the deepest darkest reaches of my soul. I just felt like bragging HAHAHA. The real discussion begins here: Drink to get drunk or to enjoy? I just came back from a birthday party and the birthday boy got so wasted he couldn't walk straight let alone think straight. He was harassing all the girls and caused quite a ruckus. A few of the guys actually had to restrain him and needless to say, we sent the girls back. Now tell me, is it worth getting drunk just for the sake of 'having a good time'? Take heed that only YOU are having a good time but not the others. I got really ticked off myself and left. AND I PAID FOR THE DAMN VIP ROOM! There is no way in hell that I was going to babysit a fully grown drunk adult. Anyway, that'll be the last time I'm going to join a party like that even if it costs me my bear gang membership. What is this bear gang? I'll get to that when I'm not that sleepy. Goodnight! Just wanted to let some air out.

the goal never changes, only the plan.

hello again! it has been a tough week, got really tied up with work and finally, the tasty weekend is here. You guys know how every time before you go to bed you would HAVE to do something as a closure for the day? Well, some people might not have to do it but I NEED to do it before I can get a good night's rest. Tonight, I've decided to write something on my blog. First off, lets start with the new friends i got at home. The Cobalt Blue Tarantula and the Imperial Scorpion that arrived were babies so I've decided not to upload any pictures of them for the time being. As you might have guessed, the babies can't really hunt food when their tummy alarm rings. They feel really vulnerable without their moms around as moms would normally carry their young around on their backs while hunting for food to feed them. So how would I feed them you may ask? I chop up mealworms to manageable sizes so that they can put them into their tiny mandibles. Which reminds me, I think some house lizard found the mealworm stash that I had carefully hid under a bookshelf and ate the whole lot of them - bastards! Anyway, they are healthy and active - the scorpion runs around a lot and the tarantula was seen busy digging a burrow. The picture you see on the left is my brother's venezuelan bottlebrush taratula (the same one that was in the picture I posted previously). It molted recently and as you can see, it's sporting a new outfit! Colors are more pronounced but the poor thing had a bad molt. One of its limbs was not pulled out properly during the molt and it resulted in a ugly looking stump. Don't worry though, it'll heal at the next molt! Can't wait for my pets to grow up.

I've also recently found out about the Warhammer 40k boardgame. Pictured here are some of the play pieces that you would use in a game. Think of it as chess with uber cool chess pieces and more rules. But it doesn't just stop there, your play pieces have to be assembled and painted on your own, allowing you to customize their colors and poses. You can even customize their weapons by getting separate bits. So some of your play pieces can be seen holding a minigun or a rocket launcher. There are two play pieces in the picture on the left (well, 9 actually but you get what i mean). They're both Chaos Space Marines but they're from different chapters of the race. Think of them as different regiments in the UK SAS. The one on the left are from the chapter: Plagued Ones - as evidently seen in the picture they are green and this particular guy grew a horn (that white bit on his head). The one on the left is a member of the Black Legion. I guess the color of his suit points that out hahah. Each chapter has their own special abilities but i think I'm not gonna go into detail tonight. Maybe when I own an army and understand more I might just write up something about them.

The picture you see here is a girl that I'm in love with. She used to be a guy. I'm serious! Her name is nong poy and she's one of the most beautiful transvestites in the world. Which brings me to this; if you fell in love with this girl this HOT and she suddenly tells you that she used to be a guy. What would you do? Personally, if it happened to me, I seriously wouldn't know what to do. Actually, this picture was circularized in my company's email by a female colleague. I couldn't believe that she used to be a guy (come on, she's fucking hot ok?) so I did some research over the internet and found out that it was true. She went through a sex change operation when she was 17 and voila, transformed into the girl of my dreams. Over the week, I did some deep reasoning and came up with a thinking that gender and sex are two different things. Gender is what you are underneath your body and sex is what you see from the outside. Meaning that even if she used to be a guy (only on the outside) and now even changed the outside to be coherent with what she is inside would it still be ok to love her? I'm seriously confused. But theres one thing that I know for sure. She is my new benchmark for a potential candidate and if there are any girls out there that don't look like her can fuck off. Serious.

Spidey in da house!


This is my little brother's tarantula pet. He brought her back from his apartment for a show and tell session over the weekend. This particular specimen is named chromatopelma cyaneopubescens or otherwise known as the green bottle blue or the venezuelan bottlebrush.

After some long thought, I'm definitely going for some of these beautiful little things (thanks to my brother's poisoning!). Sometime around next week my shipment of a Haplopelma Lividum (Cobalt Blue Tarantula) and a Pandinus Imperator (African Emperor Scorpion) will arrive. Will post some pictures. ciao.

Lemon part II

it seems that I have grown addicted to blogging. wonder how long this will last. Anyway, an update on the lemon: apparently i 'scooped' the midrange frequencies when trying it last night. After applying a healthy dose of mid it seemed to have sounded better. Riffs are horrible but using it to solo is pretty nice. Can't wait to try the semi-lemon through a tube power amp.

To those that are reading this, I would presume that you must be dead bored level 99. But anyway, the other half of the 400 bucks found its way to Warhammer 40K: Soulstorm. Another lemon. Period. The darn thing wouldn't let me play as necrons in online multiplayer (a race in the game that you can choose to play - they look like black 'skinless' terminators). It seems that besides the 2 new races; namely the sisters of battle (ghey) and the dark eldars (even more ghey), you can only play as the other races when you get their corresponding expansion packs. I feel used. Anyway, enough for today i need to sleep bye

Lemon...

Hello blog. After creating you, I've not had the time to write anything or maybe throw a hello. Well, I'm uber bored right now waiting for WH40K: Soulstorm to finish installing so I've decided to write about something. I spent around 400 bucks today. Half of it went to a potential lemon - the Digitech Death Metal Stompbox. Frankly, it sounded exactly like how it was described on the box "turned the gain level to eleven and ripped the knob off". Mmm.. too much gain and way too fuzzy..what have I done? Will update on the progress of finding that elusive tone. Bah..this is crap.

Interesting..

Ah, my first post in a new world. Welcome!
