The right and the left

The semester break is soon approaching and as usual I will be going back to my hometown. Being home is always great. No need to worry where to eat (lunch and dinner is always on time ^_^), my comfortable bed, my wonderful parents, my room, my Kyoko Fukada posters, hanging out with me "brothers" (my close friends) and many more. What's so wonderful about being at home to me is debating with my father. Yup, you heard it correctly, DEBATE WITH MY DAD. What do we debate on? Nearly everything. From politics, religion, life and almost anything "debatable".

My home is like the U.S Congress (its like the Parliament) where it consists of the liberal (left-wing) (me) and the conservative (right-wing) (my dad). Here's the lowdown on our differences:

In politics, my dad is a hardcore Mahathir supporter. A loyal supporter to the Barisan Nasional and is always defensive of its policies and always criticise the opposition parties. For me I believe in a balance in power so that power will not corrupt if too much power is given to a particular party. I support good government policies and criticise the bad. I do not support any political party and the closest I get to supporting is the rocket.

Religion-wise, my dad is a devout follower of the Roman Catholic faith. Follow without a question of what the Vatican wants. Truly believe in the Vatican and its doctrines. He condemns Protestants and labeled their teachings as faulty and not cannot be consider true Christians. For me, I believe in the Roman Catholic faith as well but unlike my dad I am always full of questions of its teachings. Unlike most Catholics out there, I tend to dig up on the history of my faith which sometimes lead me to believe that some of the teachings is there to secure the power of the Vatican instead of true religious purposes. I embrace my Protestants brothers and sisters and never afraid to discuss or debate Christianity with them. I also tend to read and discuss about other religions.

When it comes to education, my dad like most of the "educated Chinese uncles", strongly believe that a good education will lead to a better life. He believes if you have good education you will find a good job in the future. What about me? I am a rebel of that idea. I believe that having a good education doesn't mean you might get a good job because nowadays you see lots of first-class students jobless. I believe that a degree can't prove shit it is the practical stuffs that can take us places. Getting a good job does not convince me because I want to be an employer not an employee in the future ^_^

That's about all the most frequent debated topics we debate about at home. I guess the won't be any silence in the house for the coming two months ^_^

Quake II - Sumatra

Since nearly every Malaysian blog is talking about the earthquake which hit Sumatra a few days back, I might as well hop in the bandwagon. Unlike the quake last year the death toll is only a fraction of it. Still 400 is a big sum (as of writing time). My condolences and sympathy to the family members of the people affected.

On the positive side, at least you won't see all those corporate hypocrites donating huge sum of money just to get publicity. Why pour in millions of ringgit only when some big natural disaster which happens once in a blue moon and not those unfortunate people we see in everyday life? Also you won't see tens of millions of ringgit disappear into the pockets of corrupted officials.

Hopefully the next time there is a major quake it would be directly under the White House with the Georgy in it.

My Current Babe

Just when I thought today was just a normal boring day, Victor, my roomate's friend came to my house (to discuss assignment with my roomate) and told me whether have I recieved an instant message he send me through Yahoo! Messenger. Since I didn't on my YM for the whole day (I was sleeping the whole day) I ask him what he send me. He said he send me a japanese idol's name and ask me to go search in google. So after he went back I on my YM to check what he send me and this is how the message goes:

victorchua_ck (11:48:35): i wan u to witness d GODLIKE thing!!
victorchua_ck (11:48:35): irie saaya - 11 years old

My first impression was "11 years old? Dude I am not a paedophile!" but since he already describe her as "GODLIKE", I googled her name. Once I saw her pictures my jaws dropped, heck, even my roomates jaws drop as well. I am not going to describe her in words, I will my as well show you the picture here:

Yes people she is only ELEVEN YEARS OLD! Yet she have such a great figure! From her biography it stated that her figure was 30-22-32 F-Cup and she was born in November 1993!!! I nearly fainted when I saw it. I am still wondering why on earth would her parents let her do such a photoshoot? Yea, she might look mature and all that but she is after all 11 years old dammit. I wonder what was her parents thinking there >_

Malaysian Politics

Does Malaysian politics puzzle you? Don't worry, yours truly had gone through the touble and try to translate what all of the policies you see today actually meant.

  1. Undergraduates are not allowed to take part in any political parties/activities - In Malaysia "Political Parties" meant "Opposition Parties". Just in case you are that ignorant, it means don't go to any rally where you see Rockets, Two Crescent Moons, A Full Moon or rallies that does not have the Scale in it. So if you want to take part in political activities (and it happens you are a undergrad) and do not want any lawsuits against you, just make sure you join the correct symbol

  2. You are a threat to national security - It means it is a threat to the government. Why use the term "national security"? That's because they can use it as an excuse to throw you in ISA and never be heard again.

  3. Such actions/activities will jeopardise racial intergration - This only apply if that activity consists of all Chinese, Indian or dan lain-lain.

  4. "**insert a government-funded project** is going to cost one billion ringgit" - This sentence though it sounded like a normal human language is actually encrypted by a top-government device. After decoding it, it will sound like this "Only 100 million will go into the project while the other 900 million will go to my new 100 room mansion with a 1km swimming pool".


Well I guess that's all from now. If you have anymore to add you can post a reply to this entry.

Religious Spam PART 2

Damn nowadays religious spam is so hi-tech that it had made its way to my HANDPHONE. Argh~ I just recieve an anonymous SMS about a Good Friday celebration tonight. Just when I thought it was from someone I know, my housemate also recieved the same message >_<

Anyone know who's handphone number is 012-3635141 please reply ok?

A Tribute to a Great Man

Image hosted by Photobucket.comSince today is Good Friday I am going to dedicate this entry to a man who had inspire and touched lifes of billions of people and continuing in doing so each and everyday. A Man whose legacy, teachings and story had been circulating the World ever since his death some two thousand years ago. Yes, that Man (if you had not guess it correctly already) is none other than Jesus Christ a Man who Christians regard as the only Son of God while the Muslims regard him as their prophet Nabi Isa (pbuh).

Being a Christian, a Catholic to be precise, today marks a special day to us because it is a day which reminds us of the day Christ died for us all. Why is Good Friday so special to us you may ask. This is because it is only after His death (and ressurection) that Christianity truly spread out. It is also the day where we Christian believe that he died for us so to cleanse and release us from the original sin which was pass down by Adam and Eve. It is also the day he accepts His predestined death.

For those who wants to know more about Him you can always watch "The Passion of the Christ" (if you can bear with the brutal torturing scenes) which in my opinion is the best potrayal of Christ in any movie ever.

Chain Mails >_<

Ok people let's be honest here, how many of you believe in Chain Mails. You know those annoying mails, messages that ask you to pass to many people as possible so that you will get good luck and if you didn't pass around you might get bad luck, haunted by a ghost or **insert family members here** will die in an hour. Come on people, don't tell me you guys actually believe in such childish thing? I mean getting those mail/messages is freakin' annoying enough but getting the same annoying messages/mail over and over again just piss me off.Do you actually think that you will get good luck if you pass it around? How many of you actually experienced it? How many of you had seen your friends drop dead just because you did not pass a digital message?

Its just plain childish for University students to believe that a simple digital message/mail can boost your luck. Maybe they had watch too much Japanese and Korean horror flicks to believe that digital messages can actually cause death and bad luck >_<. Do you think that it is real? Some chain mails are even stupider, it will tell you to pass this on to as many people as possible to avoid deletion of you e-mail account or the most recent your Friendster account. This had also for time and time again been reported as FALSE by those companies in their OFFICIAL STATEMENTS and NEWSPAPER REPORTS. For those ignorant people, each e-mail service provider or any service provider have their own terms and condition and they will not simply delete people's account for such stupid reasons. So please go read the TOS each time you register an account for any website. So people, I urge you not to be so ignorant and please use your common sense each time you have the urge to send a chain mail!

Here are a few popular chain messages which had been circulating furiously in my Yahoo! Messenger and Friendster Bulletin Board.

MUST READ!!! LIFE AND DEATH ON THE LINE!!!
Message: hahahaha You've opened it! Good Luck,
You have
just been DEATHWISHED. Tonight at midnight
your true love will realize they love you.
Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 pm
tomorrow, it could be anywere. Get ready for the
biggest shock in your life. if you break this chain u
will be cursed with relationship problems for the
next 10yrs. post this within 15 min


My love life had been bad enough and seeing these type of messages just piss me off badly >_<
A simple forward this mail to other will be a meritorious deed, and it doesn't waste much of your time. Thank you for doing that in advance. **insert a random name** : Tel : **insert random number here**, Fax : **insert random fax number here**. Please forward to the person who has AB blood type of bone marrow and hope everybody will forward the mail to your friends so that they can have the opportunity to find the "right person" to help. We anxiously need a AB blood type of person to donate his/her bone marrow,and although it only have very little chance to match, but we still have hope for it. Because of your loving kindness to pass the mail along, she may stand a chance to recover. So, please put a little effort, the little girl may have chance to live because of you.


Don't you think it is kinda suspicious that nearly ALL of the victim's bloodtype is AB and nearly all of them are either in need of a bone marrow or they have blood cancer? Go figure!


send tHis on to at least 10 contacts in 10 Mins as a sign of respect for the tSUnaMi in asia if you break tHis cHain a Boy that died in the accident will stand in your room tonight at Midnight. No send backs. sorry


I did not send the message when I got this message 1 month ago and I am still pretty much alive and kicking.

Alpha Students Woes.....

Nowadays there had been so many messages circulating in my Yahoo! Messenger about have been "thrown" to Cyberjaya and wanted to exchange with those who are "thrown" to Melaka. Unfortunately for all of the Cyber "prisoners" the demand is more than the supply or should I say there is no supply to the demand. So here's what I suggest you guys to do:

1. Write a petition to STAD and a copy to SRC and get as many people to sign as possible (it will be best if you guys can gather all the "prisoners").

2. Next, write an online petition and pass the link around stating something like this: "We are paying students, why can't we choose the campus we want?" or something like that. Then pass the link to all the angry "prisoners" or in a typical MMU student way to everyone in your contact list.

3. Maybe you are asking how to write an online petition? Here's the link. Just click HERE!


4. The last step, if all of you people successfully get the campus you want, remember to treat me makan.

Unemployment... Who's to blame?

Recently there had been a series of articles regarding how graduates are getting unemployed. Here's one of the example here. It says that our PM is worried about the unemployment rate in our beloved nation. The article also mentioned about a total of 80,000 graduates are unemployed just last year. So I am asking this question: Who's to blame?

Maybe some ministers will point the finger at us saying we are too choosy when it comes to choosing work or they will blame us for irrelevant skills (in this case here our Human Resource Minister is blaming the female graduates). Then there will always be the uncles and aunties who condemn local graduates of being no-class. Trust me, I had faced tons of "compliments" from the chinese uncle and aunty population about how local universities suck and studying in it means "no future".

True, we (graduates and undergraduates) might be partly to blame here, but why are the whole society, led by our low-ranking Ministers (trust me, in Malaysia it is usually the low-ranking Ministers especially those you had never heard of make the loudest noise from religious issues to education to anything under the sun!) are pointing the finger at us for being the sole reason of this national problem? Why can't the government see they are partly to be blame as well?

They are the ones that approve so many colleges and private Universities in the first place. They are the one that refuses to venture into more job oppoturnities. Just look at our IT industry, the biggest player in Malaysia IT industry is sadly the PIRATES. Look at our art industry, it is still in its infancy which seems to me there is no hope of growing unless the government start to pay attention to it. The R&D in our country? What? There's R&D in our country? Heck, I am sure most of the people in Malaysia (aunty and uncles and ministers included) don't even know what R&D is! To those who are still ignorant of what R&D is, it is the acronym of Research and Development. Or look at the entertainment industry, the music industry is stale there is only the Malay music scene, the Chinese, unless they go overseas, they are doomed to singing Chinese New Year songs for the rest of their careers. How about the English music scene? Most of them are surprisingly good but unfortunately fails to break into the international circuit due to lack of funds to promote them overseas.

The movie industry is plagued by the censorship, lousy directors and horrible scripts and most of the movies produced are aim at the Malay audience. Only once in a while you see a "Sepet" that is loved by all the races in Malaysia. The video gaming career despite being given much exposure these few years don't seem to have any success. Reason? Low-ranking Ministers and the aunty/uncle population threatening to close all cyber cafes because playing video games will "destroy your future". Little do they know that some individuals earn more than them just by playing video games >_<.

There are so many job opportunities that the government can explore but yet they are sitting there pointing the fingers at us telling us that we are to blame. True like I said just now, we are partly to be blame but we are not the sole reason. Since the government can pour in tons of money just to build World class buildings and some useless expedition to satisfy their ego, why not pour in those money to help their people getting employed and make Malaysia a world class society instead?

Sorry folks!

To those who had experiece pop-up ads while visiting my blog, I would like to apologise. I never expect the web counter that I had placed in my blog to be so harmful. So starting from today I had decided to remove the web counter until I found a spam free one.

Today's weather~

Only two words to describe today's weather:

F***ING HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes people, those messages that circulated in our Yahoo! Messenger is true (click on the link I provided to see the news article). I can feel the sun burning my beautiful skin this afternoon 1pm to 6pm. Sigh~ hope it rains soon.

Congratulations to... us!! :-P

We did it! Yea~ The 8th Chinese New Year Extravaganza (CNYE8) had won the Best Event (non-sport) Category in the Ecalatant (pronounced as EK-LEN). True I admit that the event is not satisfying (to me that is) but hey at least we got some recognition for our hardwork and that's something to be happy about.

I would like to take this oppoturnity to thank the Chinese Language Society's Hi-Com for giving me the chance to be a part of the CNYE8. I would also like to thank all the working committees that make it happen. Without ou guys there will be no CNYE8. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the organising committees of CNYE8 a.k.a the CNYE8 family. It seem that the 6 months of sweat, tears and effort had finally been paid off.

Last but not least I would like to thank everyone that had participated in all the CNYE8 events.

P.S: Congratulations to the Chinese Language Society too for winning the Best non-Sport Club.

Memories: Gaming

Starting from today I am going to have a column called "Memories" which I will write all the memorable stuffs I had during something eg. Gaming, Sports, Movies and etc. For the very first segment of "Memories" I will write about my video gaming moments.

Best Game Ever Played - Final Fantasy VII
Like I had mention before this is the first console RPG ever played which is the most memorable. It consists of a great story, a likeable casts of supporting characters, good character development, great graphics (during that time of course) and tons of memorable events.

Saddest Moment While Playing a Game - Aeris Death
Trust me, I nearly cried. She's my most favourite female character to date. When she died during the end of disc one (total of three disc) I nearly heard my heart break. Never had I grew so attach to a game character (what's more she looks like someone straight out of a LEGO set during gameplay and cartoonish during cutscenes). I am sure there are lots of people like me. Two more sad moments that I had encountered during gaming sessions are the revealing of The Boss true mission in Metal Gear 3 and the death of **SPOILERS ALERT** Chopper in Ace Combat 5. But none of the two come close to what Squaresoft (now Square Enix) had did to me :-D

Best Story in a Game - Xenogears
To some gamers the story of Xenogears is draggy. Some said they don't understand what it is actually trying to say. To me its the best story I had ever seen. It contains lots of religious elements in it. The story is hardly predictable. You never know what will happen until it really happen. Too bad the graphics suck and the gameplay is mediocre.

Biggest Letdown in a Game - Final Fantasy VIII
Despite having one of the greatest graphics the Playstation can handle and two of the most popular video game character ever, it suck. True it is not bad compared to other games, but it definitely is a big disappointment to those who had played the much more superior FF7.

Funniest Moment in a Game - "Give me the keys" cutscene from the Lucasart's game Armed and Dangerous
I had never laughed so hard playing a game before PERIOD.

Most Addictive Game - Championship Manager series
Refusing to sleep, refusing to leave the computer screen, neglecting homework, ignoring your friends and getting fustrated everytime your team loses no matter how many times you reset it, that is how addictive the Championship Manager series is. There should be a warning lable in front of the CD cover.

Most Frightening Moment in a Game - Every single second playing Fatal Frame 2
Just 20 minutes into the game and I am scared stiff. All I can say is that I am frightened every single second playing that game.

Most Fustrating Moment in a Game - License Exams in all Grand Turismo series
The game is so realistic that each wrong timing will make you blow your test. Sometimes it is so fustrating that you want to break the disc into a million pieces. Maybe I suck at racing games.

Sickest Moment in a Game - Killing someone with a plastic bag in Manhunt
Manhunt is the sickest game I had ever played. There is so many killing methods you can apply on your enemies but the plastic bag is definitely the worse.

Things that you can see only in Malaysian roads


  1. We can make a 3 lane road into 5 lanes.

  2. In Malaysia the zebra crossing is non-existant even to the police.

  3. In Malaysia yellow lights mean ACCELERATE while red lights means ACCELERATE MORE. Green means STOP because if you don't, you might knock the car coming from the opposite direction.

  4. Being a government official can allow you to break every single traffic law and yet still come late for a function you are suppose to attend.

  5. Accidents causes traffic jams not because of the cars involved obstruct the traffic but instead passerbys slowing down their cars to watch what happened. Some might even stop their cars in the middle of the road to join in the argument (or jot down the car numbers to try their luck in their "weekly investment" at the lottery shop).

  6. Only in Malaysia can you see a family of five sometimes six if the mother is pregnant all on ONE motorcycle with no helmets on.

  7. Cars that sounded like it can break the sound barier but in reality it can only go up to 120km/h max.

  8. Cars below 900cc bearing the Ferrari logo.

  9. The standard price for the police to turn a blind eye on your traffic offenses is RM50. You might get a discount if you do not bring enough money.

  10. Signboards are always placed behind a tree while advertisment billboards can be seen a kilometre away.

Anticipation....

Here are a list of things that I can't wait

7. Black and White 2 : Black and White is the most innovative game I had ever played. Naturally its sequel will have me anticipating it with high hopes.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


6. Final Fantasy XII : This will be the 12th Final Fantasy ever made. Final Fantasy had been one of my favourite game series of all time. After 4 disappointing outings (FF8, FF9, FF10 and FF10-2) hopefully this one will finally deliver. Note: This is also the biggest Final Fantasy logo ever.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

5. Initial D Live Action Movie : One of my favourite anime series Initial D had finally hit the big screen featuring real life actors. Ironically this Japanese manga is adapted to the big screen by a Hong Kong movie production company. With a star-studded cast featuring the debut of Taiwanese ultra-popular singer Jay Chou, one of my favourite Hong Kong actor Anthony Wong, Edison Chan, Chapman To and most importantly the custom-made Toyota Trueno 86 shows lots of potential to be a blockbuster success. Hopefully Jay will not screw it up :-P

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

4. Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas (PC edition) : The best Playstation 2 game of 2004 that I had ever played will finally cross over to the PC this June. Being 300km away from my Playstation 2 obviously can't let me enjoy the full potentials of the game. Hopefully the people in Rockstar North will fix the bugs and enhance the graphics by the time it hits the PC.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

3. Batman Begins : Ever since I watched the very first Batman movie starring Michael Keaton (the best actor to had ever wear the Dark Knight's cape) I had become a fan instantly. Then comes Batman Returns, a worthy sequel to the first movie it make me a bigger fan. After that everything had gone down hill for the Dark Knight. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin sucks so badly that make people forget the first two movies even existed. So after I heard the news that there will be a new Batman which will have more drama and have a darker tone to it I immediately jump into anticipation because being a Batman fan (movies only :-P) I am hoping that someone will finally do the Dark Knight justice.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

2. Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children : A movie sequel to the Playstation hit Final Fantasy 7. Final Fantasy 7 was and STILL my favourite console RPG ever and being the first console RPG game I had ever played the story had left a big impression in my heart. It is also the only game that nearly made me cry. Hopefully this movie will finally answer some of the questions that had not been answered in the game. Hopefully they will revive Aeris.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

1. Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith : After waiting for so long, George Lucas finally announced the last installment to the Star Wars series. Being a big fan of Star Wars ever since I first saw "The Empire Strikes Back" (it was my first Star Wars movie) on TV during the early 90s (my interests in the series is again renewed after playing the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic). This one also have the potential to be the best Star Wars movie ever since George Lucas promises it to be the darkest Star Wars movie ever. Again I am hoping this movie will not suck like the previous two movies (The Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones).

Thanks guys!

I would like to take this oppoturnity to thank everyone involve in the drama titled "Qin" (loosely translated as love or in this case family love in mandarin). The first person that I would like to thank is none other than Bryan. You are the real director, not me, I only supervise and gave a few opinions while you are the one directing and put everyone together. Thank you.

Next I would like to thank Jia Feng for translating the script (Sorry that I can't write it in mandarin), Siaw Yin for the excellent acting as a grandmother, Wan Yin, Elson (spelling?) you two did an impressive job and exceeded my expectations, Raymond for the breakdance and also doing a great job being the robber and Vinci (pai seh dunno how to spell your name).

Special thanks to the two girls (sorry I do not know their name) for always be there to look at our drama.

Overall I am very happy and satisfied with the outcome. You all had acted out exactly what I wanted. I really can't thank all of you enough. Thanks again. Hopefully in the future we all can still work together and also hopefully next time we will get more "air time".

P.S : Last but not least I also wanted to give my thanks to Vian for listening to my problems when I nearly take back the script. Thanks for listening and support. He he... sorry forgot to thank you just now hehehe...

Take Back the Web!

To show my support to what I think is the best web browser ever, I had added a button for you guys to download Firefox. So let's take back the web, GET FIREFOX today!!

In case anyone is thinking, no I am not paid for this promotion of Firefox.

Say no to spyware! Say yes to Firefox!

Ok people, today I am here to share with all of you an experiece. It's called the Firefox experience. For those who is still living under the IT shell and do not know what one earth it is let yours truly fill you in. Firefox is a free internet browser by Mozilla. It's totally free with no strings attached. Heck, its an open source software meaning those who are skilled in programming can alter the browser to their own liking. Maybe most of you had heard of it on the net, in the newspapers or maybe from friends who had just "converted" from Internet Explorer. Maybe most of you guys doubted about this web browser or had never heard of it or worse lazy to download it. If that's the case people, you had missed out a lot.

First of all the Firefox is a powerful browser. It's one of the fastest browser out there. Meaning, it loads website faster and more efficient than its M$ counterpart by the name of IE. Another great feature I come to love is the tab browsing which I abuse often :-D. What is tab browsing? Here's a screenshot about it. Try to notice the marker I'd made. With tab browsing you can browse as many sites you want all under one window. Unlike IE whenever you want to do "multi-browsing" you have to open a new window which will flood your taskbar like this.

Ok maybe you guys are still not impress by Firefox's functions. I am going to tell you the most powerful function of them all. It is very secure. It block most of the spyware and viruses out there. The security is a hundred times better than IE's. What's more, there is a pop-up blocker that comes with Firefox unlike IE where you have to get it from other softwares such as MSN or Yahoo!.

If you want to know more about Firefox's features you can always go to it's site here. While you are there, why not try downloading it? I can assure you that you won't use IE ever again without having some withdrawal symptoms.

Sigh~ This is Malaysia...

It was just yesterday MCA president, Dato' Seri Ong Ka Ting, sent a memorandum to our PM regarding the 9th Malaysian Plan requesting for more Chinese schools. I was happy to see that MCA finally seem to fight for the Chinese community. Unfortunately some UMNO ministers, being the racists they are, asked them to be more realistic.

According to our education minister, he said that it does not represent the well-being of the Chinese community. Had he been to a Chinese school? None of them are properly funded by the government. The government refuses to fund missionary schools and Chinese schools. Even if they did it will only be a small portion of what national schools recieved.

Aren't we taught in school that Malaysia is a multi-racial community? What is wrong with well-funded Chinese schools? What is wrong with setting up more Chinese schools? Most of them are overpopulated anyway. It seems to me that our ministers do not like the idea of a united Malaysia.

Here is an article by Utusan Malaysia about Pemuda UMNO rejecting the memorandum.

Huh? Spam? Me? Whoa?

Unbelievable! I can't believe that my computer auto-send a website that I had never enter before in the Friendster Bulletin. Anyone care to explain how on earth it attacked my account and send spam to the bulletin? Here's the screenshot.

Looks like those spam companies had becoming smarter. Any tips on countering it people? Need help here.

Sore loser....

Don't you just hate it when people accuse you of cheating when you are winning them at something? I just played one of the most fustrating game of chess ever in my entire life just now in Yahoo! Games. Here's a compilation of screenshots taken while I was playing that game. (Note: My nick is squallg_99).

First he accused me of using software while playing with him. He later threaten to report me to Yahoo! which I ask him to go ahead since he have no proof what so ever. When he see there is no sign of me leaving he threaten to not move. Fortunately for his stupidity, he did not know there is a 10 minutes per move rule in Yahoo!. Which means, if you do not move within 10 minutes you lose.

Here's a screenshot on how I totally pwned that kid. (pwned = owned)

Sigh~ that's what happen when you let immature people use the internet.

My Ideal Babe (for now)

I was surfing around searching for some wallpapers featuring some pretty girls. No, I am NOT searching for porn wallpapers, which I know that this thought is running in all your little dirty minds right now. Ok back to my story. While I was searching for some japanese stars for my wallpaper I come across the name Rena Tanaka or Tanaka Rena (that's what they call her in Japan). Her fox-like eyes had immediately soften up my heart. Her innocent face nearly killed me as my heart almost turn into liquid. As far as I know, Rena is an actress and a model for several advertisements. From here biography, it seems that she had starred in two dorama (japanese drama) Overtime and GTO. The problem is, how can I miss her cute face while I am watching those 2 shows? Hmmm.... Oh well, who cares, since I got her as my wallpaper I can see her everyday HAHA~

Maybe most of you are wondering how does the girl that had stolen my heart looks like? Here it is for all your viewing pleasure.

Down With Religious Spam!!!!

Just when you think spam is annoying,wait til' you start recieving RELIGIOUS SPAM. Nowadays I have been recieving neverending spams by someone name James Lau. Those spam I get are titled "How to contain your anger", "Know yourself" or some other shit that sounds religious. When you open the mail it is usually message about loving Jesus, don't anger God and stuff like that. No, I am not against religion. Heck, I am a Christian, Roman Catholic to be precise and I believe in God and the Creation theory. What annoys me is how such spams disguised themselves as harmless religious messages. Hell knows, what will happen when you click their links and try to unsuscribe them by sending an e-mail to them. I tried to block them but each time I block them, it sends me spam using another e-mail account.

Gone were the days of "Enlarge You Penis by 6-inches" or "Cum See Me Tonight" porn spams. I don't even recieve those "Click to win a million dollars" spams anymore. All I recieve are just religious spams. It seems that spammers will do anything to make you click on their links. Don't those spammers just quit it? No matter what your title is, may it be asking me to enlarge my family heirloom, which is very large so there is no need for any enlargement, or may it be some female name asking me to lay her tonight, or telling me that I had won a million dollars or telling me that God loves me (as if I don't know!), I am not that stupid to click on your links so stop wasting my email space!!!

Want an example on religious spams? Here are 2 of them here and here.

Sigh~

Seems to me that my bad luck just don't seem to run out. Yes you read it correct, bad luck not good. Everyday there will be some bad luck lurking round the corner. Just last week I fall down from my bicycle, saw HER when I could have easily avoided it if my housemate chose the other route to walk instead of through the FIST building (I prefer to fall down my bicycle ten times than to see her face!! Who is this f'ed up girl? Check my intro and you might end up with a clue or two.), got caught signing the attendance for my housemate and fail 2 mid-term tests.

Just last week I found out there are two lumps on the right side of my neck. Hopefully none of the lumps have potential to be cancerous >_<. I also found that my back is getting worse and worse. I can't sit for too long or it will ache. As for my throat, it seems that it won't heal no matter how regularly I take my medicine.

Just yesterday, my friends told me that I look pale and very unhealthy. Then after looking in the mirror only I realise that I indeed look unhealthy. Sigh~ I wonder WTF had happened to me.

Hopefully by the time I finish surviving these neverending string of bad luck, something good will come along the way.

Thieves~

Dammit! I am damn pissed off now. Just last week a friend of mine, which was an organising committee of an event, asks me to help him write a script for a 30 minute sketch which will be shown in an event. I was overjoy, since I love writing scripts, the longer the better, so I willingly volunteer. Working on that script is not easy because I am trying to push myself to the max. Before that I use to write scripts for no-brainer comedy sketches. So this time I decided to do something meaningful and serious.

So I begin drafting a concept in my brain. The first story I created was kind of dark. It involve suicide and rebeling against ones parents. It took me a one or two hours to finish writing the draft on paper. After finishing the draft I send to my friend. It was later rejected because it does not fulfil the theme of that event which I understand because my script is kind of extreme.

After that I immediately work on another script. Working on the 2nd one is very hard because all of my creative juices on the first one. So I started to think. Finding inspirations after inspirations with games and animes. After nearly 1 and a half day of deep though I finally found an inspiration through one of my favourite action games of all time, Prince of Persia : Warrior Within. This script will involve a little of time travel. I had drawn many possible concepts but were scratched because most of them are too long. After finding the suitable concepts I immediately pen it down on paper.

Just thinking about the concept and penning the whole thing down is two different thing. Penning down I have to think of the dialogues spoken by every character. So I spend another 2 days writing the complete scripts. For most of the time I would just stare blankly in front of the computer screen. After nearly 3 days I finally finished half of the script. So I decided to let my friend have a look at it first. So I send him "part one" of my script. After another 12 hour, I finally finish the whole script and immediately send it to him. After a discussion with the committees he said it is approved. I was of course happy, because this is the hardest script I ever come across. What's the story about you say? The story have a little time travel elements and the main plot is all about the importance of family love.

After the script is approved I ask my friend to let me meet the would-be appointed director and actors of the script. So he say no problem. After a few days he told me who the director is and asked me to contact him. When I was about to contact him, another friend of mine, lets call him J, (which i presume had taken over the directors chair) contacted me and asked me to meet him at 8pm today to discuss the script.

So during 8pm today, I went for the meeting. To my surprise he had asked another guy he brought along and me to take charge of the meeting. What pisses off is he didn't even read a single line of my script and he started to talk about the script as if read it a 100 times. What even pisses me off is when my J said he wanted to do a video instead of acting it live on stage. The guy he brought with him said that my script is hard to do it on video and shit like that and before you know it he said he will do another script and if it got approved they will use the new one instead. Out of a sudden my script which is approved by the committees is thrown aside.

Fuck! Out of a sudden the people who take no part in the creative process are trying to take full creative control. Worse still, they are yet to READ MY SCRIPT while the guy who is suppose to be the director is the only one among them to had read it. I am fuckin' pissed off now~

Zebra Crossings and Malaysian Drivers

Just one week ago the government finally painted a zebra crossing on the main road in front of Emerald Park. I was kinda happy then since the government finally realise that the road is very dangerous. What made me even more happier is the removal of a small portion of the barrier allowing us pedestrians and cyclist to cut through the playground to the main road instead of taking one big round to get there.

After they completed the zebra crossing I realise something. Suddenly my joy seems shortlived. I completely forgotten that MALAYSIAN DRIVERS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ZEBRA CROSSINGS!!! Its like the zebra crossing is totally non-existant. They won't slow down and let the pedestrians cross the road. NO~ being Malaysian drivers, they will just speed up when they see the zebra crossing hoping that the pedestrians will not have a chance to cross the road, if they did slow down and let the pedestrians to cross the drivers behind them will hurl insults at them (in the privacy of their own cars of course).

Oh well, that's Malaysian drivers for you. See how unique we are from foreigners. No wonder we are all thought how unique Malaysian culture is during our time in government schools.
