Hope this time, it's for real

i called yesterday after salsa to thank her for the bday present, she told me she was sad and drinking alone, she sounded drunk, and the damm reception was really bad, i only heard the place she was in, then the line got cut off .....

i admit i was worried, i decided to take my chance, and drove there. while driving, the oni thing i was telling myself was: pls let me make it on time ....

i was looking around for her, at the same time, calling her, the damm line failed me again and again. i went through 2 rounds of walking and searching and it struck me, she might have already left or worse, i tried 1 last attempt, the line got connected and she picked up. :D

she was surprised to c me, and i was happy to c her, standing there with a drunk, sad, and yet a very faint of happy smile. we talk, we hug, she cried, then we left for dinner.

so the same thing happen all over again, the alcohol, the hand holding, the hugging, but this time, maybe just this time, i think something is going to happen, hope this time, it's for real

Metal Gear Solid 4

I love this cutscene...



Thinking if I should get this for PS3. It is after all an exclusive to the console.

Heroes Season 2 is out also. Thinking I should get it too.

Or should I wait and see if the price drops?

Life is not complicated... it's how we make it

Do you get tired of people making simple things complicated?

A simple decision like... say... deciding on an eatery... can just fall into a spiral of uncertainties and disagreements. Take the below example:

me: "Where do you wanna go for lunch"

xxx: "Anywhere lo. No preference one" ** Lazes back in the backseat **

me: "Okar... let's try that place... bla bla"

xxx: "Err... wan meh... not nice one worr..."

me: "Oklo... then you decide. Cause I really don't have preference one. Just wanna grab some grub"

xxx: "Dunnoler... you decide la" ** With a hint of irritation **

And you know what's worst? I am the one driving. You see how the conversation goes in circles? C'mon man!!! You are given the choice! Make the decision!

That is just one example of simplicity turn complication. There are many other examples but they are beyond the scope of discussion.

My point is that we human beings, are compelled to fire up our brains unncessarily over very simple, fundemental things. I am not saying that we shouldn't do that, otherwise we wouldn't progress technologically at all (Thus progressing further in evolution). I am just saying... some matters we shouldn't fuss and muss about.. leave out the if else statements... especially with matters that may lead to potential conflicts. Why get upset over small matters in which at the end of the day bare no harm to our overall existence.

I think in doing (by contemplating, fussing etc...), we are simply depriving ourselves from life's joy. Wake up man! *Smacks my ownself*

Lol... Just to answer some potential questions:

1) Yes I am feeling vocal these days.

2) Yes... I am freer this week. Just a tad.

Service Orientation? Got Meh?

Woww... I've just had the greatest of discomforts in acquiring an IT gadget from a shop located in section 17's IT Digital Mall.

Can't remember the shop name, nor am I interested in defaming them. But as a consumer, I would strongly advice all to avoid that shop as to spare yourselves from the ackwardness.

The shop lot (Not stall) is located on the 1st floor. Immediately to your right once you get up the escalator.

I was inquiring on the range of DVD-R drives.

1) First approached the counter. The only 2 visible chinese sales person. I asked for the drives... both were sluggish... they responded with a brief grunt, vaguely pointing me to the aisle where the drives were shelfed.

2) I went there. 2 guys there. One Malay who was busy surfing his pc. The other chinese guy eating. The malay guy was nearer to the drives. So I picked a few and inquired about specs. Long story short... I received the most monotoneous respond anyone could get from an IT dealer. I swear he even frowned when I got more inquisitive on the products.

Yes, I am an IT noob (Even though I study IT lol), but when I asked him about the difference between 2 cables... from what I know, I tried illustrating with finger gestures, he cut me off... and told me to bring my CPU so he could show me. And went back surfing.

My God... this guy should definitely get fired.

At least the chinese guy who was eating actually showed a hint of wanting to educate me. He provided a brief yet satisfactory explanation.

3) Selected the product. Headed to the counter. Tried to bargain, but was given very somber response from the 2 shit heads manning the counter. Bleh* Decided to pay and head off.

If it were not for time constraints, I would have broaden my choices with store fronts. You call this service oriented?

My say: Avoid this shop at all costs.

Fire Drill

I noticed that the people living in my block are oblivious towards fire emergencies. Everyone is just either too ignorant to bother when the alarm sounds... therein lies the danger...

Just a few days back, we had a community meeting discussing various issues. One particular was highlighted, in regards to few months back there was a fire alarm set off on a particular floor... and only that floor evacuated the premise. Other floors remain oblivious or simply didn't care.

Come to think about it, I have never heard the alarm sound before and don't even recognize it.

In that meeting there was a call for volunteers to act as fire wardens assign for each floor. Only realizing the potential life threatening danger there and then, I decided to volunteer and do my part as an active member...

I was quite surprised to also learn that I was the only one volunteering... It just goes to show nobody bothers to be civic minded anymore... ~Sigh...

Now... waiting for their call and the impending fire drill exercise...

Officially My Happy Tune

Been listening to this for the whole day since i found out the song, it keeps my mood in a happy level :D




Now imagine, while being pissed at work, hum to this word during chorus... "pukimak"

Pukimak ... pukimak ... pukimak .... pukimak ...
need to find more words to compose the whole song, kekeke

on another note, i think i'm changing, it feels like the weights on my shoulder is lighther without the restrains i held for myself ... i'm letting it loose :D

Bar Council Protesters Shenanigan

It's extremely degrading to learn that this country is occupied by hooligans who hide behind religion and stirring shit all the time.

Personally, I feel that these racial assholes should receive the most severe punishment one can possibly imagine.

Take the Bar council incident. The open forum held talks/discussions to address and resolve issues, creating understanding among different races/religions that were affected/could be affected in the foreseeable future. I support this notion with the intention at hand.

Instead, we have shit heads bursting into scene, cursing other races, and implying that the forum was held to attack Islam... I mean COME ON!!!

What baffles me:

1) The ruling authorities actually closed one eye to the protests. If it were other groups rallying there would be water canons, tear gases... the lot... But from what I observe, the cops and politicians were actually loosening the leash for these assholes to cause trouble.

2) I don't think any of the racist protesters are gonna be charged. Why? With obvious reasons of course.

This is not just happening with them in Malaysia, but with other similar groups in many parts the world where every single action is seen to them as attacking Islam.

Sigh~ Really getting out of hand.

Aside from that, I am greatly saddened by the war happening between Russia and Georgia. The front page of NST on Sunday really broke my heart.

I just keep praying that God would bestow a miracle where love, understanding, compromise and other virtues are instilled in man kind and all wars at present will then be seized immediately.
