Holidays

The year 2007 has been a massively fun year for me in terms of holidays.


March, I went with my family, in conjunction with my dad's 50th bday, for a cruise from Port Klang to Phuket. Of course, the cruise stopped over at few other places like Langkawi, Krabi and on the way back, Penang. The experience itself was fucking different because we usually fly overseas. This was like a 6 star hotel following you whereever you go to and the service was EXCELLENT.

Krabi, Thailand.

My bro and I in our cabin. Small but VERY comfy.

Next major trip was to Langkawi with my college friends. It was my first college trip so it was pretty fun..Btw I'm too lazy to post the pics cuz I havent saved it in my PC yet.. :D

After that it was a family trip to Fraser's Hill..And by family I mean about 6 families. Yes, big, I know. But we hadn't gone for a trip like this in a very looooong time so it was pretty kewl holidaying once again with my cousins..Again, no pics available cuz we havent printed them yet..

Next up, is the trip with my brother to France, on the 30th (this Sunday). This has been making A LOT of people jealous and everyone is asking me to either pack em in a suitcase (Denise) or just want me to take em there..Haha..It's snowing like a bitch there, so it's gonna be my very first experience with snow (the first time I went to France 4 years ago, it was summer, but cold). Pics will be posted as soon as I get back.

Meanwhile, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!

Prom, Rashes, Band and All

Exams were finally done and dusted 2 days ago and now I can fully concentrate on organizing the prom..Well after certain morons backed out (that includes the event fuckface we hired and a few people who booked tables), we're down to about 8 tables..Not a very good thing but there's nothing we can do about it..

Since we can't use 8 tables for the grand ballroom, Equatorial gave us the poolside but now they are giving us the smaller ballroom, which I think is a step up. My "band" has been jamming and improvising on a lotta things. I hope we I don't fuck up big time on that day..

And of all the things that could happen now, I have to get the flu and rash. I dunno what the fuck caused the rashes tho..Could be the burger I ate or it could be the freakin stress..Anywayz, I got a jab so now it's alrite tho not fully gone..*Scratches*

Run,
Try to hide,
Overwhelmed,
By this complex delirium.

Wise words from Dream Theater's Panic Attack (Available on their 8th studio album, Octavarium). I have this great urge to run and hide some place where I can't be found by nobody..The trip to Langkawi sounds promising (what more with duty free liquor and fags; lol) but I'm still not sure if I wanna go..

Time for birthday wishes..

Dhakshana, the cousin I'm closest to..Today
Jurin, on the 16th
Mum, on the 17th
ME!!!, on the 18th
Sudar, on the 29th

And finally, well..That's it I guess..The rest of ya'll wait for next month la

THIS IS.......FUCKIN HILARIOUS!!!!!! And creative as hell!!

Review

Bought Dream Theater's new album Systematic Chaos (damn chunted title rite??) on Deepavali day. Eight songs in all and it doesn't disappoint. If the last album (Octavarium) sounded more hard rock than prog rock, then my friend, fret not.

Like it's title, the songs are chaotic. I meant the time signatures for the songs. It's unnatural to a casual listener, but for one who understands music, the time is literally chaotic. But it's systematic. Lol

I fell in love with the first and last songs- they are actually one song, broken into two parts. In The Presence of Enemies is collectively nearly 26 minutes long. It has the typical DT parts: Kick-ass intro (this time it's 5 minutes of intrumental before the lyrics start), funky chorus ("Dark Master, I will fight for you"), multi-part, offtime music; more intrumental section and by the time the song comes to an end, you want to replay it.

Other songs include Forsaken, Constant Motion, The Dark Eternal Night, Repentance (feat. a whole lotta singers including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Corey Taylor of Slipknot and others), Prophets of War and The Ministry of Lost Souls.

I definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates good music but if you're the kinda person who prefers songs to be in 4/4 time, then this is definitely not for you. Instead, go wank.

Update

Tooth pain. Past few days. Like hell.

My half grown wisdom tooth decided it wanted to grow some more. It's pushing up my gums and booyaka! Fucking hurts..

Leah's holidaying in New Zealand and it's weird not having her around. I mean she wasn't physically around but at least I could call her up and hear her voice. Now, I only get to talk to her online.

It was weird the first few days because I know damn well that she's overseas but I still couldn't help checking my phone every morning for her messages. (She sends me a sort of a wake up message. Messages range from "Gumorning", "Time to wake up" to "Wake up la bodoh!").

So what's a guy to do when he's lonely?? I got back to playing Star Wars Jedi Outcast 2. I was stuck in this place and left the game for about three months. I was stuck in a somewhat dark place and it took me three fucking months to realise I was using the binoculars instead of a night vision goggles. Haisho..Anywayz, once I got past that, I finished the entire game in three days. And now I got nothing else to play :( (BTW, I wrote a poem in the previous post. My very first. Tell me how it is yea?? Hehe)

I've got a press conference to attend tomorrow. A girl in my college suffers from leukemia and we managed to collect about RM 15k if I'm not mistaken. She needs a bone marrow transplant and her monthly cost is about RM 8000. Anywayz, we're (The HELP Joint Student Council) is officially handing over the check to her parents tommorrow morning. The reason the press are going to be there is because they previously covered the attempt to have the longest lantern walk which was organised by my college. (It was to raise funds for the girl).

If anybody is interested in donating (preferably in cash because of the monthly costs and for the transplant thingy. She needs about RM 200k for the op), please contact me through my blog here. Thank you.

I Miss You

I miss you,
The times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we made fun of others,
And each other.

I miss you,
The smell of you,
On my shirt,
When your lips met mine,
When I had you in my arms.

I miss you,
When we talked about nothing,
When we fed each other,
When we were alone,
Together.

I miss you.

Pics

My new babies..Zildjian 7As with Nylon tips

Up close and personal

This is the reason why the name of my blog is STICKS..well partly

And finally....

Mohawked!! Lol..Stop Laughin la!!!

Foot In Mouth

Shit! My family reads The Star newspaper (biased shit, I know; ever read Joceline Tan's pieces??) and I missed out on the interview that NST conducted with our favourite politician (not the two bocor or close one eye flers; I mentioned him in a previous post). For those who missed the wonderful, dunno-whether-to-laugh-or-cry interview see here..

What does he mean by "minority is not important", "bloggers write rubbish" and whatnot?? Doesn't the macha know that a single vote can fuck you up bad?? And that single vote is minority innit? And what's this shit about "bloggers write rubbish"?? Dey, if you haven't realised, the Internet is the only free form of media la..All your other form of media has been kau tim-ed by your people. Of course those medias are afraid to write "rubbish" la..

And in a previous statement, he said that the EC (Election Commision) is tied directly to the Legislature (the Gomen). So what I learnt back in high school history about the EC being an independent body is bull eh? Maybe I should go recheck my paper..Think I made a mistake in the election chapter..And our dear friend might have just confirmed our worst suspicions..Tied directly?? Now we know..Thanks ar macha, you da man la!!

.....................

Today would have been my first public drum gig..Played drums at friend's party before but that doesn't count so much as a gig now, does it? But it wouldn't have been my first gig cause I've played the bass guitar at a school function before..

Damn the fuckin HELP management la..

Cancelled Plans

Halloween's cancelled..

Rebel Scum

Tomorrow, I'm officially gonna be a Rebel Scum (that's from Star Wars btw; Luke, Leia and the gang were called Rebel Scums by Lord Vader).. In my last post I mentioned that the A-Levels department is moving into my block.. And because of that we had to postpone Halloween.

Now, there might not even be Halloween because it's clashing with other HELP events. And when the office moves in, the students cant use the WIFI access (Which We Pay For). We cant be shuttling between our block and main block, where the WIFI sucks like a vacuum cleaner.

So, the ADP Student Council is going to bring up this matter to our department head tomorrow morning and inform him that we will write an official protest letter, complete with a petition from the students. And we also plan to "let him know" that if we cant use WIFI at all then we are gonna get our refunds or sit at the departments' office and use it. WOOHOO!!!

On a lighter note, I GOT MY NEW DRUMSTICKS YESTERDAY!!!! ZILDJIAN 7A WITH NYLON TIPS...PICS IN NEXT POST ALONG WITH UPDATES ON BEING A REBEL!!

ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!

I'm having stress attacks every 5 minutes..BASTARDOS!!!!!!

My fuckin EN102 paper is not done (that's English btw, gotta write a research paper) and Halloween has just been postponed till further notice. Fuckin A-Levels department ( I'm not sure if it's the office or the entire dept) is moving into my block. At Level 4. The place we lepak before, during and after classes.

Where the fuck am I gonna sleep and crack jokes and use the net in my block???? Lancau ma cibai tiu nya seng!!!

And now I've gotta inform the bands and my fellow members and my friends who I've already called and inform them that it's fucking postponed...

I'm fucking tired and I need to sleep. *zzZz*

PS: Does anyone know where I can get masks for Halloween.. The transparent type..If you dunno what I'm talkin about check out Nirvana's In Bloom video..And Jumpsuits as well

You Think It's Over? You Think You're Safe? You Are WRONG!!

Blast Off!!!

No no no!!! It's not the music competition on astro channel 16 or 705 or someting la. In case you've been living in a cave all this month, here's a news update. Malaysia is sending a man into space. Possibly two if the rakyat has pity on the other guy and wants to blow US$ 12 million ( RM 40.8 million).



A few months ago, everyone was like HUH? when someone high on top said that the Angkasawan (or if i saw an advertisement right, it's Angkasa1..fuyoo) will be making teh-tarik in space. No shit. But how in the name of the late Pluto are you gonna make teh-tarik in space?? I mean, if you tilt the cup upside down, the tea's gonna float, not fall into the other cup. And if you wanna make teh-tarik in space, why send a doctor?? Send la your local mamak..Professional mah.

Of course, like most Malaysians, I hope that nothing goes wrong during the blast off. But imagine this:

Millions of proud Malaysians tune in to RTM 1 for the occasion.


"Inilah saudara-saudari..Masa untuk mencatat sejarah telah tiba.."


"Negara kita akan menjadi negara pertama di Asia Tenggara untuk menghantar angkasawan"


"Marilah kita sama-sama kira...Tiga.....Dua.....Satu"





And NOTHING happens.


Or there's a loud farting noise and then nothing.


I know for one I'll be laughing my ass off..How about you??


PS: Excuse my Malay, it sucks.
PPS: Excuse the US flag on the shuttle. There's none with the Malaysian flag

Forecast: Gloomy Days Ahead

"When you can't think of anything else to talk, talk about the weather".


The weather in this country has been erratic this past few days. One moment it's so hot, you start melting and the very next moment it pours like pussies and bitches. I mean cats and dogs.
It somehow reminds me of the English weather. Wait, what am I talking about? The English weather is gloomy and wet all the time.



Case in point: I was waiting for HELP's feeder bus (Yea, we got our own busses. No our campus is not that big, it's just different buildings at different places) to go to the main block for my class. It was sooo hot, even standing under the shade of a tree didn't help (no pun intended).





So, I go through two blardy hours of learning MS Excel (it's computer class, see) and I come out to find the whole place wet. Lucky me.




Today, I wasn't so lucky. Had a late night last night, so I was washed out the whole damn day. Went for class at 8am, then had my Psych midterm paper at 12pm. After that went to makan with Ara and the got dropped of at KL Sentral by Fira. So far so good. Since I was exhausted, I fell asleep the moment I sat in the bus.






I wake up in time at Jusco, five mins away from my place by car, and it's pissing rainwater. Fuck. I had to make a dash for the taxi stand and wait for almost 15mins before I get a cab back home. As Leah put it, anjing babi la. Haiz..

*Looking all pist and gloomy, myself*

I-CANT-THINK-OF-A-TITLE

Do you ever experience fighting with your loved ones (read: not your family members la), decide to part ways (remaining friends, of course), only to realise you've made a big mistake, you make up AND you get closer and love the person more? Damn, that was long!!

It's happened to me three times at least, and all with the same person. The both of us are in the agreement that we should not fight again, for different reasons of course. She, because she never gets the satisfaction of a proper fight with me and I, because, well, it gets ugly. But the both of us have a feeling that the fights will continue, and we gonna get closer. Sigh, the pain of love. Haha

Anywayz, HELP's ADP Student Council (of which yours truly is the Public Relations Officer :P) is organising a Halloween Night. It's on the 31st of October, Wednesday, from 7pm onwards. Dress up in costume and you stand to win prizes for Best Dressed. There will also be band performances, games, food and etc. Ticket prices to be announced real soon. So, make yourselves free on the 31st and get your asses to Kompleks Pejabat Damansara, Jalan Dungun, Pusat Bandar Damansara. Owh, and not forgetting. THIS IS A CHARITY EVENT, SO DO YOUR PART AND CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY!!!

Dumb and Dumberer and Dumberest and ...

Two weeks after i post an 'In Memory' post, here I am doing another. This time it's not for the people who perished in a hijack or while trying to rescue others from dying. This time it's for a kid. An eight year old kid.

I'm pretty sure many of you have now heard the story of little Nurin Jazlin, the kid who went missing a month ago, only to end up being found dead in a bag. That wasn't enough though. The bastard(s) who killed her put a cucumber AND a brinjal up her privates..I mean what kinda sick sonofabitch would do that to a grown person, let alone a kid??? Bastarding bastardy bastard, I hope you fuckin rot in hell.. And I really hope someone stabs you to fuckin death as soon as they find you fuckin guilty.

Now in a related matter, one of our oh-so-wise and noble minister has done it again!!! He should be holding the world record for the number of times a person can speak thru his ass!! The moronic fool~ I'm not mentioning names here for fear(!) of being sued but this idiot is the Minister in the PM's office~ *coughnazricough* This wise minister wants to sue Nurin's parents for neglience..

Fulamak!! How so fuckin proud we all are to have such a wise minister. What the fuck is wrong with you???!!!! The parents just lost a kid to a sicko and now you wanna sue them?? Seriously, I'm willing to bet that if they dissect you, they gonna find your brains up your ass..How in fuckin hell would you feel if somone kidnaps your kid for a month,then kills her and packs her up in a bag, then we sue YOU for fuckin neglience???? Bodoh, bodoh and bodoh!!! Add bangang too!!

Drop the fuckin issue of suing the parents. Have some compassion. And brains too, you dickhead.

PS: To those who are of age, please please please exercise your voting rights so that idiots like this don't run our country anymore.

~RIP NURIN~

In Memory

I remember the events of six years ago very vividly. My family just came back from vacationing at Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi, when we received a call from my dad's friend telling us to watch CNN. So we turn on CNN and we see the second tower of the WTC at New York City collapsing.

Events from that day onwards drastically changed the world to the one we know today. One without Saddam Hussien, one with war in Iraq, one where fighting terrorism has become a priority ( more than anything else, the 2008 US Presidential candidates address terrorism), and one where discrimination towards Asians ( especially towards the Indians- doesn't matter where you really are from, you're a threat if you're brown) has increased. Hell, even Malaysia was accused of harbouring terrorrists.

The events of 9/11 has made the world an even sadder place to live in. Where is peace when you need it the most??

Anywayz, here's to all those who perished in both the towers, in Flight 94 and to the 394 NYC firefighters who sacrificed their lives to save the rest

Hey There ILA

Yes Conrad, I'm updating my blog! Haha..Sorry la been a lil busy to sit down and blog once college started. We are in the third week now (Blardy hell!!! So fast ar??) and we're having more fun compared to last semester. The Tanzanian flers (Ali, Mehdi and etc) shifted to Bangsar, AND they have PS2 AND Winning 11 so most of the time after classes is spent in the now named "House Of Aliabbas".

Part of the reason why I haven't posted for long was the argument Leah and I had (refer last post). The argument got bigger the very next day and so everything else was put aside. Things are perfect now so I'm back to blogging.

Anywayz, the song "Hey There, Delilah" has been running in my head for the past few days. Here's the lyrics:

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Somehow this song soooo fucking relates to me and Leah. Replace every Delilah with ILA (that's Iman Leah-Alexis la), NYC with Penang (lol) and guitar with drums and voila! Song I can sing to Leah. Or replace Delilah with a name of your choice. Make sure she's far away before you start singing to her la

Back to College!!! (Soon lah)

So. I've been reaching the end of a very boring and uneventful semester break. Except for Rock Genesis (the charity concert I went sometime in July, refer previous post), outings with Leah and jamming sessions, I was holed up at home. The so called trip to Redang tak jadi because I was grounded (again, refer one of the previous posts). For once, I'm actually glad to head back to a place where learning takes place (Leah's glad that I'm going back to college because she thinks my insanity will return).

Went for the new intake flers' orientation on the 15th (PR fler for ADP Student Council, so had to be there) and met up with some long unseen buddies. Had fun playing hand ping-pong after the campus tour. After that we (Ali, Mehdi, Amit, Mohammad and I) turun-ed to the House of Aliabbas in Bangsar and we spent time playing PS2 (Roshan joined the fun abit later). Moments of stupidity and comedy on that day reminded me how much I wanna go back to college.

We had another fight last nite..Actually it was more like an argument..Wait. We didn't even argue, it was just crap-talking and a " Fine! Bye!" *hang up*..She sent me a message right after that sounding me abit and another this morning saying she's sorry. Well, I'm sorry too, Leah. Really am.

Untitled

Actually, I just couldn't think of a title la. As a matter of fact, I don't even know what to write about in this post. Life has been OK to me this break. Well, that's if you don't count last month's phone bill.

All I did during the break was go out with Leah, finish three books in a week (HP7, 4th reading of Anansi Boys and Doctors), and download songs. Sad, I know. But it was alright for me. Anywayz, I was just talking to Hema about passing me some songs from her boyfriend's (Dude's name's Shan and he plays the drums) bands ( Ask Me Again and Jah'z Disciples).

I watched AMA at a charity concert in Zouk sometime last month and they were the first underground band to perform (show was split in two: underground/unsigned and mainstream). Boy, did they rock! They set the standards that night and except for Flow, no other underground band could get the crowd going. Hell, they were so good that the crowd asked them to play an encore. AMA does not exactly play heavy music. More pop-rockish but certainly heavier than Frequency Cannon and Estranged. Feel good music, you can say.

On the other hand, Jah'z is a metal band, playing headbanging DUH! stuff. I haven't watched them play but I did hear some of their songs and I was equally impressed as I was when I first heard Dragon Red. Well, I don't actually have to say how good they are. They were good enough to be interviewed on FLY FM.

If you people out there are remotely interested in listening to either band, please check out their MySpace accounts ( nobody actually bothers setting up a real website anymore. MySpace rocks la!!).

Ask Me Again: http://www.myspace.com/askmeagainmusic
Jah'z Disciples: http://www.myspace.com/jahzdisciplesonline

Support the local music industry people. That means you gotta support Mawi. Screw Mawi. Support the local English rock scene. Plenty of talent out there which goes unnoticed, so start helping out by spreading the word.


~For those who are about to rock, we salute you~

Disconnected

Good to be back after the viral attack. No I wasn't sick, my PC was. Feels nice to be able to say hello to the people I don't bother calling or texting anymore. Gotta say sorry because I have been busy with someone else. She's important you know.

And yes, I regret to say that I broke my promise to Leah. I had a dish of salad, like Mandeep says. But, I've been clean for almost two weeks now. Baby I AM SORRY!!

Semester breaks which last for about a month and three-quarters (NO, nothing to do with Harry Potter) are good for some soul searching moments. If you find it within the period, go fucking kill yourself. Speaking of Harry Potter, the last book has action from the word go. NO, I wont reveal the plot but YES, Harry lives. But what i hated was the fact that almost 5 major characters die (excluding Voldermort, evryone knows he dies la). JK Rowling said only 2 will die. Sad. And she doesn't save the deaths for the last chapters like she did for Sirius and Dumbledore. In this one, the first person dies by the 5th chapter.

Anywayz, anyone who's up for The Simpsons and The Spider-Pig (you gotta watch the trailer) and Disturbia, please let me know a.s.a.p.

Being Grounded

What a bloody week it has been!! Made major, life-altering (well, not so much la) decisions.

Finally confessed to my parents that I smoke. Yeah. I know. Just don't ask me why I did it. I did. Got grounded for it. Well sorta. I'm still going out and watching the telly and using the computer. Following this, I decided to quit smoking. Cold turkey. Good thing I wasn't so much an addict. It's been six days with no ciggaretes. It was hard when I was at Brewball, playing pool last night. I'm sticking to this one since I promised my parents and Leah.

ps: On a related note, I'm quitting my alcohol intake too. So be sweet and don't tempt me.

Harry Potter is out!! Going on Tuesday (the day after tomorrow) with Leah!! Anybody who wants to join in the fun, gimme a call and we can meet up after I finish watching the show. Lol.

Can somebody buy me Dream Theater's new album Systematic Chaos?? PLEASE??

Random-ness

Ever noticed how the best bands always come from Britain. Let me give some examples chronologically:

Late 50's and 60's: Beatles
60's and 70's: Iron Maiden,Judas Priest and my personal faves: Led Zepellin,Deep Purple and The Who
Late 70's and 80's: Duran Duran and David Bowie
90's: Oasis
2000's: Muse, Coldplay, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, and Kaiser Chiefs

Hmm, I wonder why Britain has such huge influx of talented musicians..
********

Why does a wussbag band like My Chemical Romance gets to perform here in December when they've only been around for the past 3 years or so?? Why not more established bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Greenday?? And speaking about these 4 bands, I read sometime ago that Pineapple Records are planning to bring them down. What ever happened to the plan? How come tada news?? At least they can make some pretty good money hosting these 4 bands instead of bringing down a jackass like Kanye West. Apparently he (West) sucked, the show sucked and the turnout sucked as well. Considering that hip-hop and Kanye West has a huge fanbase here, it was a surprise why only 2000 people turned up for the show. How about bringing back bands that have performed here like Incubus (that's only because I missed the Incubus show :P). Pineapple Records, do something!!!
********

Now that Manchester United are not allowed to play here in this country, some smartass organizer wants to bring Inter Milan and Barcelona here. Pretty kewl money making move. But I'd rather if Man Utd played. But I do wanna watch Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho play.
********

Ever wondered why kamikaze pilots wear helmets??
*********

Why do Pearl drumkits go along with Sabian cymbals and Tama kits go along with Zildjian??
********

Do gays get turned on by looking at their own penis??

Exams..

Exams starting tomorrow..so whoop-de-fuckin-do!! I've got Mass Comm tomorrow, followed by General Psych on Tuesday and Freshman English on Thursday. Somehow I don't feel stressed by the exams.. but then again, I never feel stressed..WHY OH WHY DON'T I FEEL STRESSED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?!?!?!?!?

Of Being Busy and Everything Else in Between

It is the last week of the semester and everyone is busy, or acting like it. Too many blardy assignments due, along with group project presentation and the rush to finish the Gen. Psych syllabus. The only comfort is knowing that there's only three days of exams (well for me anyway) and the fact that there is like a month and a half long semester break.

The trip to Redang is still in the planning stages. Trying to get people to go for a holiday is a pain I tell you. Some of 'The Others' want to go to freakin Genting for the breaks. I mean why the fuck would you want to stay for three days in a place like Genting??!! If it's a one day affair then it's ok, but three blardy days??

On a more serious note, celebrity and heiress Paris Hilton was released from prison today. She did not have to complete the original 45 day sentence because she was well-behaved during her stay in prison. It's either that reason or another, we would never know.

At the home front, it was Eric Chia who was acquitted from the charge of Criminal Breach of Trust from Perwaja. Altantuya's murder case is still being heard in court. The DPP wanted Altantuya's cousin's ( can't remember her name) statement to be expunged (obvious meaning la..go look it up if you don't know:P). She said something about the records of their entry to Malaysia was "erased". To this, the DPP made a motion to expunge the statement because "the answer is not an answer to the court's question, it went much beyond". *Source: today's Star paper*

Sounds like a serious case of 'kantoi' right? The motion was not expunged and neither was the witness cross-examined but the damage was done. Hopefully, this little piece of "answer which went much beyond" would play a part in determining the outcome of the case.

Remember the good ol' days when wrestling was fun to watch?? Now it's not so fun anymore because WWE( World Wrestling Entertainment for those of you who have been living in a cave) lost another one of its prominent sons. Chris Benoit (pronounced as Ben-war) aka the Rabid Wolverine, apparently shot his wife and kid before finally taking his own life. The charismatic fler with a mother-of-a-pain finishing move (The Crippler Crossface, try it on someone you don't like:P) and one the coolest entrance songs will be deeply missed by the industry and fans alike.

Well that's all for now. If you want to read Patrick Teoh's (veteran actor and thespian) blog for some funny insight on the gomen check out http://niamah.blogspot.com.. NIAMAH!!!

Numero Uno

So..I also join the blogger bandwagon oredi..Wahlau wey.

Anywayz I thought coming up with a name for the blog was bad enough. Now, I have to decide blogging between my daily life (which usually is boring la), music, and the sad state of this country.

Decisions,decisions. Okay, decided oredi. It's got to be about my boring life and music la. Scared might kena sued for crapping about the gomen..But hey, Patrick Teoh does it with no fear. But then again, I'm still this Budak only. Maybe, just maybe, I might add my two cents worth about this blardy bargers la. Maybe.

Looking forward to more blogging,
Tinesh/TOCH?
