so it has come to this.. ..this site used to be warm (i can't use hot lol) and filled with posts..even at times 3 posts/day..and now we get 1 a week if we're fortunate..i guess stuff like this happens..when we're all to busy with our own shit to bother about some group shit :p
'there's no point in screaming if nobody's gonna hear you'
so this group blog starts acting like a group blog, i'm not writing here..in the meantime there's always my own blog :)
I've never believed there's any point whatsoever being upset when you're sick. I mean sure, it feels like crap, you ache everywhere, you feel like you've got glass in your throat, and everytime you cough you just want to rip your lungs out because it'd hurt less. But hey. Nothing's to be done about it. So just lie back, relax, and crawl your way along the road to recovery.
Of course, its a lot more fun when you keep yourself entertained so you have fun even if the flu's getting you down. Here are just two ways, which I myself enjoy.
1. Recover quickly. Just do all those things your mom and your grandma tells you, drink all those herbal whatnots, take your vitamin C, eat that porridge, drink lots of water, rest, and you'll get well pretty fast. BUT, what's more fun to do is to see how many people you can infect on the way back up. I'm not evil enough to intentionally cough or sneeze at people to spread the love, but I dont usually let mild sickness stop me from walking around uni and around the house. My best record so far was an infection rate of about 15. My housemate and I both train together with the Uni team for Taekwondo. He was laughing at me and telling me I should have kept my resistance up. Laughing until he caught my flu. Ha. He then proceeded to pass it to his gf, who also trains with us, and the three of us infected the entire Uni team. Needless to say, the head instructor was pretty upset we were all such a bunch of sissies, until he caught it as well. Nowadays, everytime someone catches the flu, you'll notice us waving garlic and crucifixes at them, and telling them to stay away. If you're laughing, wait till you catch the strain of flu we get down here, and when you're ripping your lungs out and coughing out buckets of thick, yellow phelgm, we'll be waving garlic and crosses at you while laughing too.
2. Demand that your significant other take care of you. I don't know about the rest of the people on this planet, but this is just plain fun. Or at least as fun as it gets when I'm sick, simply coz all other activities are suspended until I get better, both due to the fact that its hard to feel any sort of desire for anything other than my medication, and the fact that there is a horrible tendency for the two of us to start infecting each other for months on end with the same flu one of us started with.
My gf's very nice about it. She doesn't really complain much. But then again, she doesn't have to. She didn't get her nickname of the smiling stabber for nothing. She has promised to put a blunt pencil through my retina should I infect her as well. She comes over and keeps me company while reminding me once in a while to make sure I put her in my will just in case I don't make it. And she cooks me meals that seemed prepared to ensure I don't. But all in all, she's great to have around.
So why shouldn't YOU have fun while you're sick? Go out, get coughed all over, breathe in some of that thick Malaysian haze. At least you've got one less thing to worry about if you're having fun.
you know, before today, i always held the firm belief that sickness is all in your head..it's just a state of mind.. people are sick only cos they let themselves believe that they are sick
i'm not the kind of guy who falls sick easily, and even if i do feel sick, i simply ignore it and go out and have fun anyway..hence me going to the doctor less than 5 times a year..haha
whenever people told me that they were too sick to go out, i always called bullshit, and said they just didn't want to go out :p i mean, come on- who is too sick to go do something they really wanted to do in the first place?
it's like the will to live- some people get told they have 5 weeks to live when diagnosed with some fatal disease and they go on living 25 years..to me, sickness was something like that- it was all in your head
well, today i finally gave in..my faith in my theory has crumbled to the ground :( when you have to go to the toilet more than 10 times in 2 days, something is wrong..and my mind can't explain the growth of ulcers in my mouth either..i can't just think them away..i tried concentrating hard, and they still stuck around..damn ulcers :p (no hx, your saltwater trick didn't work haha)
so now i'm stuck with a shitload of pills and some gel for my ulcers..i can't say that sickness is just a state of mind with a straight face anymore..haha
While everybody's hiding behind some masks and staying indoors, there's one thing you can look forward to in this miserable weather- genting like scenery, a foggy environment like a set right out of a LOTR movie, that's right folks!
Now's the time to go out and take photographs!
Hell, you could take a photograph almost anywhere and say that you took them on your last trip to Europe! :p
Love the haze

whenever i read or heard about people blaming the decline of society on video games and movies i always dismissed those comments as nonsense..well, today i take that back.. its cos of kids like me, schools get shot up, and kids jump of buildings trying to fly.. no not really :p
but anyways, i watched kungfu mahjong earlier and after the show, i had this urge to learn mahjong! (and that's what im doing now- reading an online guide, and i downloaded a mahjong game to play on the pc :P)
i remember after watching batman begins awhile ago, i wanted to go buy the batman game just to play as batman!
i don't know why, but those movies just affected me like that! i have no idea why..it's like after watching something enjoyable, it makes you wanna go out and do it..
so now when you think about it, it's not that far from the truth at all, people getting influenced by movies and games etc..now back to learning mahjong..
Shit, how many times is this gonna happen? I think just a few months ago, there was a 30sen hike, and just a couple of days ago, a 10sen hike..at this rate, we're gonna be paying like rm3/litre anytime soon..which is just fucking crazy! The government might as well ban poor people from buying cars!
What's with all this bullshit anyway..the other time when they imposed the quotas on petrol stations for selling diesel, they created shortages all over the place, leading to a trucker rebellion which was covered by the newspaper awhile ago.. now with the petrol and diesel prices both going up, fuel isn't so affordable anymore..
our family is gonna sell of one of our cars so that each of us can have a bicycle..no more petrol woes.. haha no i was kidding..but doesn't anyone have a problem with the prices?? the only good thing that's come out of this is that you don't have to wait so long to fill up your car for the same amount of money anymore.
no, nothing to do with the ass..except for the customer service workers here who seem to display the intelligence of an ass
this would probably be a follow up to a post i had on Astro customer service awhile ago..i can't be bothered to dig up for the link to it, go search the archives if you're interested :p
i had some problems with my handphone service so i called up maxis for help..first thing i noted was that they charged us for our phone calls for help! which annoyed me.. when i first called, the language menu comes up, making wait so i know which number to press for english
then another menu came, which took significantly longer than the first one, with the option i wanted to select being the last..i probably wasted about 2 minutes getting through to customer service..
so one dude answers, i forgot his name, and i told him my problem..he got some details and he told me to hold..and so i wait, knowing that the call was being charged, getting annoyed at the music through the phone..about 3 minutes later, the phone just gets cut off.
i was like 'fuck! what the hell was that??' that pissed me off..
so i gave them a call again, this time since i knew what to press already, i got through much quicker..this time a lady answered and i told her that i just got cut off while holding on for one of her colleagues and that i wanted to speak to him, but she just ignores me and asks me what my problem is..i go through my problem again, and then she tells me
'sorry, our system is down at the moment, and i can't do anything for you, could you please call back in 2 hours?'
damn was i pissed! i felt like screaming 'COULDN'T YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?' hell, first she refused to give the phone to the guy who hung up on me, secondly, she wastes even more of my time.
in the end i wasted quite alot of time and probably quite an amount of cash as well, and what did i get in the end? NOTHING. hell!
So I shaved off my beard (or stubble if you wanna call it! insult me assholes!) yesterday night..this morning when I woke up, it was visible again! I was like, fuck! that was pretty fast! so this evening, I shaved again! and just now (around 12.30am) I checked the mirror, tiny hairs were visible! So now I have concluded, my hair grows at abnormal rates :P
on another hand, concerning the bombings at London, I have come up with my own theory about who did them! haha
I say it was the French! I mean come on, isn't it too much of a coincidence? I don't even know why CNN didn't pick up this clue! the bombings occured like right after London got voted as the host for the 2012 Olympic games! beating Paris by a few votes, the French must have gotten really pissed over it since they spent so much money and time developing their city to host the Olympics and they get beaten in the end.. the bombings must have been arranged by the French to disrupt the London transportation system and to show how weak their security was.. one dude interviewed even said something like: 'it's not very hard to pull off an attack'
But George, didn't the Al-Queada (however u spell it :P) admit to the bombings? didn't it ever occur that the French could have paid them to pull off such a stunt? i mean, let the terrorists take all the blame, nobody would even look in their direction! Hah! i figured them out!
so, me, tj, alvin, andre and ken jae managed to catch War of the worlds before any of you fools out there haha but don't worry, we're here to help you decide or not whether this movie will be worth catching
war of the worlds review, don't worry, no spoilers, read on!
-tom cruise dies -his son makes it to boston -his ex-wife is safe -he blows up a mothership with some grenades -the aliens die because they can't adapt to earth's environment -his daughter doesn't die -tom cruise doesn't die
awesome movie if not for the end, i'd give it a 7/10 (it would be a 9/10 if you leave the movie 100 minutes into it)
