"sO what are you going to do for your 3 months long holidays??"

"wAtch Porno every single day!"

"………."

"yEa~"

"dUde, if you really do that, you’re gonna turn into a prune when school starts again…."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMG~! pOrn~!

sEriously, this is sometime very much talked about no matter how old you are.  eIther it’s curiosity or the drive to satisfy an erge, down the road, most of us would have watched it.

i Remember when i was much younger, i actually had an ambition to become stay single.  i Still laugh at the reason whenever i recall it.

"i’m gonna stay single all my life!  i Really don’t know what i should do when i suppose to do it with a woman!"

=_=""
fOrgive my lame-ness, i wasn’t even a teenager yet….. aNd if you actually rewind my life just a little bit more, you’d find that i actually thought baby boys came from mothers while baby girls came from fathers…..

=_="""
fOrward a bit and you’ll come to a part where i’ve just been planted with the idea of sexual intercourse (bY Mike!!!!! XD i still remember it was on your swing at you house!). 

yOu should have seen my mother’s reaction that day when i came home and asked her about sex while she was cooking…… (i recall nearly getting grounded XD).  i Can’t remember the answer though.  aNd i can’t believe i actually did that!

wHen puberty kicked in, along with it followed curiosity.  uP till then i still had no idea about sex, other than the theory of it being the combination of the male and female sexual organ….

sEeing how naive and gullable i was really makes me want to find a dark, scary corner and hide in it….
tHat was a long time ago…..

sO is porn good or bad?
dEpends on how you look at it i guess. 
wE have a series of laws, that would protect young minds from it, until they are ready to learn about it, that is.  bUt seriously, how many of us actually kept out mental virginity until we were of legal age.  kNowledge is free-flowing, accessible by all.  mOst of us could have learnt it from our friends rather than from our parents.  i Know i did and some ‘excessive material‘…..

wHat i’m about to say may make many people think of me as a freak… well, see if i care so here goes…

pOrn actually has an educational side to it.
fOr starters it gives people an idea of how it’s done.  i Know a lot of people who has no idea about or the meaning the word ‘foreplay’.  wHich is why married couples who have problem in bed are encouraged to watch porn together, and even asked to act out what they see. 

bUt i guess it’s already been engraved into our tradition labelling porn to be obscene.  hEre’s an approach you might be able to adopt:
wAtch it, only if you’re curious, only if you’re old enough to understand it, only if it helps you, and not to often…..

23 August tAukeh!! sEng kAm zUi mAi sEng!

wAs reading one of the chinese papers when i came the entertainment section. 

dIdn’t even find much interest in it until one of the students here pointed at something in the article and asked me what it meant (obviously, he didn’t know madarin).

i Couldn’t stop laughing after reading it….

hEre’s the chinese translation given the the famous rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg

史奴比狗狗… (pronounced as se-noo-pee kou-kou)…

=_="""

iSn’t that suppose to be translated into Snoopy…. the one from the comic strip Peanut!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hEalers or mUrderers…..yOu cHoose!

iT’s alarming how some physicians think these days.

fIrst off, i must clarify that i’m not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular.  tHis is just a general point of view about how the world is……

hAve you ever really noticed what kind of a world we live in these days?

a World where sex shouldn’t be limitted to married partners….
a World where most movies have a scene of male and female lead actors having sex…
a World where the most unthinkable sexual crimes are committed….

iT’s true, sex is taken very lightly these days.  tO many, it’s become more of a social gesture, rather then a sacred ritual.  pEople who still cherish the belief of only sharing the spiritual connection with one are labelled as old-fashioned and out-of-date.

aNd what comes after sex?
pRegnancy!

"Nonsence!  wE have Condoms!"

iN case you’re stupid or just too ignorant to find out, condoms aren’t full-proof! 

sO what happens if, unfortunely, you ‘accidentally’ got (or got someone) pregnant?

"Haiyoh!  Liddat also dunno meh!  Get an abortion loh!"

yEs that is what people do.  tHey call it a price for pleasure.
iS pleasure really so important?
tHat you have to sacrifice a human life in order to satisfy it??

fOr you who never thought much about it, a fetus is also a living being with a soul.  aN abortion means killing off the fetus and that, in turn, means Murderring a person.  bUt not just any other person, it’s your own flesh and blood!!

aNd to think that physicians, the people we trust to save lives, are okay with this. 

tHe baby is innocent!  tHe one at fault is not him/her! 
eVen if you are a victim in all this, the fault is not at the child… eVery sould deserves a right to live!  aNd no child is an accident!  NEVER! 

eVen if you can’t find it in you to bring up the child, you have the choice to put him/her up for adoption!  aT least it’s a better choice than spilling the blood of your own child one you hands!

i was kind of in conflict with my myself today whether or not to clean (vacumn)  my room…..

aFter i’ve finally gathered enough will power to do it….

tHe power went out…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

tRansition bEtween tWo eXtremes….

i am currently suffering from a bit of depression due to my ‘post-event syndrome’ a.k.a. still trying to get my life back on track from the life i’ve adopted in bIntulu….

sOunds easy?  sO what’s the big fuss??

wEll first of all, in bIntulu, the house was never empty.  tHere was always someone around the house, hence meant i always had someone to talk to.  dInner time was filled with conversation, whether or not i decided to join and there was always the cat around to wreak havoc when things got too quiet……

bAck here, every thing’s quiet……. too quiet…..

Rita isn’t back yet.  sHe went off with her family to K.L. for a long overdued family vacation.  wHich means my usual chat-buddy isn’t around to. 

cOnversation - 60%

aNd as if that wasn’t enough, my parents had gone off to Samatan today with my cousin’s family for some R &R. 

wHat does this mean?  iT means i’ll be spending these 2 days alone.

cOnversation had just lost 45% more…..

sO i’m stuck with the occassional ‘talking to myself’……

wHat a drag……

tO make things worse…. Bin is busy with his Movie Festival and doesn’t have time to go out…..

eVerywhere i turn in the house, i hear it…..

SILENCE……

tHis reminds me of a passage i read back when i was still taking english classes over at I.T.S.  aBout this boy’s journal of the days when his crash went off on holiday for a week.  i can still remember the title… "Seven Agonizing Days"…. 

wEll, i don’t think it’s going to be That horrible for me though….  cOnsidering the fact that my parents will be back tomorrow.  bUt then again, without Rita around, life is still going to be rather dull.

rIght after we got the so-called broadband up and running here. i began to download Ragnarok online, hoping i could play aeRO here. 

RAG_SETUP7220.exe was 1.03gb, and it took only one day to download
SAK_SETUP7220.exe was 930mb, also took only one day to download
aeROInstall.exe was 31++mb….. and i’ve been trying to download this file since wEdnesday….  but till now….. it’s still unfinished………

sTreamyx bah~!

fLy… fLy… uP iN tHe sKy~

tImea really flies…. sEems just like yesterday that i’ve arrived here in bIntulu and now, it’s already my last day here.

cOme to think of it, i’ve already grown rather attached with the environment here.  yEs, even the cat….

sOlely speaking, i HATE cats….
bUt there’s just something about this cat that brought up the in cat-hugger in me (wEll, years ago, my family used to keep cats.  aNd we even named them.  gUess i’ll post an entry about it some day)…. i’ll post up some photoes that’ll explain the reason when i get back to kUching.

bEfore the trip, i was actually in a bit of anxiety, as i really liked the idea of going on a vacation at such an odd time of the year.  tHat, and i had a bit of an issue staying over at someone else’s house (dEspite Ata’s constant nagging and reminding that we are all family, her family and i.  aNd i know she’s right tough).  i must admit that i was quite reluctant to leave my room, my bed, my family, my life, my friends, and most importantly, my computer behind and move on to a place i’ve not been to for ages (it really hasn’t been that long though)….

aFter spening sometime here, they’ve actually grown on me…

nOw, i’m feeling reluctant to leave.  i’d stay another day, but they’ll be off to K.L. on sAturday afternoon.  tHat, and i’ve already bought the ticket back to kUching when i got the for the flight here.  aNd there are no other tickets for a later time…..

tHe flight is at 8:10am tomorrow…..  bUt ure to aIr-aSia rules…. i’ll have to ckeck-in 2 hours before the flight…..

2 FREAKING HOURS BEFORE THE BLOODY FLIGHT!!!!
BULLSH*T!!!!

wHich means i’ll have to wake up at freaking 5am…..

oH well, nothing else to add tonight.  wIll update on the pictures taken here when i get back….. errrr…. or rather, when Ata gets back from K.L.

16 August cAbi pAdi vS mY sTomach

Daily Mockery

bEfore i came on this trip, i vowed to take tons of pictures to post in my blog entries…..

iT wasn’t until Ata and i were on the plane that she had finally realized that she had forgotten to bring along her USB cable for the digital camera……

\(>o<)/  -dArn!!!! sAy it ain’t so!!!! sAy it ain’t so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

sTory oF lIlttle rEd cAbi pAdi

oNce upon a time there lived a little chillie named, lIttle rEd cAbi pAdi.  hE was a hot little soul and his bright red complexion and ‘explosive’ personality made him the centre attraction in the bunch.

oNe day, some middle-aged lady came along and……

CHOPPED HIM UP INTO LITTLE PEICES!!!!!!!! 
AND DIPPED HIM IN SOY-SUACE!!!!!

hE was then poured him into a small saucer where some 20 year-old by the name of bLackcat happily devoured him over his dinner of fried noodles…..

lIttle did this bLackcat know, that depite being chopped up, lIttle rEd cAbi pAdi still had some fight in him.

lIttle rEd cAbi pAdi then came down with a vengence upon bLackcat’s lowy stomach……

hEnce a war between bLackcat’s stomach and lIttle rEd cAbi pAdi broke out……
( tHe war is still going on as we speak…. aNd yes, i AM THAT bored…. )

********************************************

bEen following Ata and his brother around town on several errands today…..  nOthing out of the ordinary happened. 

wEll, nothing rather than the fact that we went to every service centre of every telephone/cellphone service you can find here in Bintulu ( namely: Digi, Celcom, Maxis and not forgetting Telekom… or as true Malaysians would call it, kEdai tElekom ), that is…….

Bintulu is a town by the sea, where the sun is always shining, and the air is…. errr……. ha… zy….

i’Ve been here since last sAturday and it hasn’t rained….. not one drop….. 

nEedless to say, to day was as sunny as every other day.  wich meant we were sweating like dogs…. a dicision was then made to invade a modern cafe here which sold smoothies and bubble tea. 

"SUMMER TEA"  or "夏日沫沫茶" (or was it… 么么茶…. whatever…. )

tHis shop…. is the ONLY shop worth a look if you’re a YUGIOH-COMIC-MIGHT & MAGIC fan.  i must say i had to retrain myself from the temptation of buying everything in the shop during my short time there drinking a double strawberry smoothie…..

i Had just gotten back from visiting one of Ata’s close friends when i actually.  sHe was the first to get married in her group of best buddies and now has a little girl of one.  tHis little princess is really an attention lover, and had alot of ways of expressing herself.  aLl night she was making some alot of interesting faces and hugging the bear that Ata and i had bought for her….  i was particularly fascinated by how well she could already express herself with actions at her age…..

nOw the family cat’s is staring at me….. i wonder what it’s podering……. i sure hopes it’s not planning something devious…….

@_@""

i think it just snared at me……. OMG!

15 August 4th day already?

Daily Mockery

sO i walked into the hardware store with the initial drive to buy myself a lock for my suitcase while i was on my way to the air-port last sAturday.  Bin had just made a remark about the name of the store, which was 扬威五金店 （"Yang Wei Hardware Store") and i thought "yang Wei" sounded too similiar to a syndrome most MEN are terrified of…. whence their little friend could stood no more……..

wAlking into the shop, still thinking about the joke….. i was confront by one of the store’s sales personnel…..and here’s what the converstation went….

"请问你要找什么呢？" ( What do you need?)

"噢，我想买五金。。。。" (Oh, i’m want to buy Hardware….."

tHe lady was shocked and i suddenly realized what i’ve said…… aNd everyone who’d heard the conversation burst into laughter…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2Nd bLog eNtry aWay fRom hOme…..

wOnder if anyone misses me yet back home….

aNyway, finally formatted this computer.  nOthing beats the feeling of using a freshly formatted computer, quick application start-ups, nearly empty desktop, updated drivers……. iT’s like stuffing a freashly baked cupcake into you mouth…… aRousing…..

i Must say, Bintulu is really, really, REALLY a small place……  eVeryday, we’d drive along the same streets of the town, and everything seems to congregate at the city centre, which is mostly made out of rolls and rolls of typical 2-3 storey shops.  tHough there are some developement since the last time i’ve visited a few years back, every other thing seems the same…..

tHere’s one thing i’ve notice though….. and that’s the amount of Indonesians walking about this town…..  iT’s almost as if we’re having a vacation in Jakarta or something…..  tHe city is filled with Indonesian civilians and that’s not the strange part….  iT’d be understandable if there were here to work/study/got married to some rich old local geezer and had to migrate here.  bUt, when you look around, it doesn’t seem that way at all….  tHey seem to be loafing about the place, strolling across streets, ignoring traffic, hand-in-hand with their lovers……  eVERYWHERE!  wHat are these people doing here!?  hOw did they get here in the first place….. aNd for Goodness sakes…..  lEarn that…

CARS ARE HARDER THAN ANY OF YOUR ARSES!!!!

fOr the record, i do not have anything against Indonesians, i think they’re cool…. moSt of them that is…..

bUt it seems that people here had grown accustom to this traffic-ignoring behavior…..  gUess where i come from people actually are AFRAID OF BEING RUN OVER BY CARS!!!!  aNd that includes locals and foreigners!

aNyways, i just got my arse whooped by Ata’s Father at badminton…….  hE wiped the court with my arse…… gUess experience really is the key to the game…..  hE’s really good……  tHat, or i just really suck at the game……

14 August 3rd day in Bintulu

Daily Mockery

fInally, it was an end to a week, and i was as eager as ever to get home.  lIke any other day, i entered my car, and drove out of the parking space and prepared to hand my carpark pass over to the guard.

uPon handing him the pass over, i said, "tHank you!" just like how i’d do any other day….. but then, for reasons unknown, my left hand showed the guard a ‘peace’ sign……..

WTH!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

bLogging fRom aN uNfamiliar cOmputer….

fInally the line is up and going.  tHus dawns an era of streamyx in this home…..

yEs, we finally got the broadband to work in this house.  i’ve initially planned to have an update about how i spend everyday here in Bintulu, but unfortunately, both rusty brains of Ata and mine, just couldn’t get the streamyx to work….. aNd we’ve been trying for 2 days……. fOr shame…..

bU i guess almost everyone would’ve been as puzzled as we were if they were in our situation. 

aCtually, setting up a braodband isn’t as hard as anyone think….. especially not for a couple of Comp. Science graduates like Ata and i…… wEll, so we’ve thought……

dEspite working with an unfamiliar router, everthing seemed to have went well upon setup.  wEll, we had the manual… piece of cake….. uNtil we tried plugging in the phone line…..

"eH!?  tHe light that’s suppose to be blinking is not blinking…. aNd the light that’s not suppose to be blinking is blinking le!?  WTH!?"

aLl hell nearly broke loose and we tried re-entering, reconfiguring and resetting…..  nOthing, nAda, zIlch……

eVentually, we called streamyx ‘Customers Service Centre’ ( wHy ”?  wEll, i really don’t get why they call it that considering the fact that they really weren’t much of a help…. aCtually makes me wonder if they were just looking for normal people to fill in the empty desks over there ) and file a complaint.  nOthing happened until this morning.

aFter breakfast, i began contemplate about where the problem might lie….. 

tHen it struck me…..

iMmediately unplugged the router and started to make m way all around the house, plugging it into every phone socket i could find…. aNd when i finally got to the one in the living-room, my hunch was confirmed…..

wEll, it wasn’t the streamyx line all along…..  iT was the way their phone sockets were divided that had been causing the problem…..

aNd to think i nearly lashed out at the people at the Service Centre, just earlier today….

aFter making another report about the phone-line (well, we finally the number of the local branch of the telephone service.  a number which, the people at the ‘Customer Service Centre’ had no idea about…..), they finally sent 2 technicians over to have a look at the problem……  tHese men came at 1++pm, fairly prompt reponse actually, and finally got everything up and working like they are suppose around 5pm….

tHus here i am……writing this entry….. bLess those 2 technicians…. i still don’t understand why they’d prut people at the front-lines without giving them proper training and knowledge….. iT’s almost seems like these people crossed the paths of certain people in higher places and got them to this position….

tHough i must say i really admire them for their patience……

11 August tHe dAy b4 tOmorrow….

i was going to write something about the recent terrorist bomb scare over at England……
iT wasn’t until i began writing that i suddenly noticed that…. i haven’t read the new-papers today…….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pOndering…….

aM flying off to Bintulu for a week begining tomorrow. 
iN case you don’t know, Ata is from Bintulu.  aNd the trip there will be to spend sometime with her family, supposedly.

aNd here i sit wondering about what i will be doing there for the whole week…. fOr now, the plan is to go swimming me every, single, bloody day.  hEnce,

"rEmember to bring you swimming trunk ah!"

sHe’s been reminding me ever since she decided that we were going to swim everyday back in here home town.

tHis is not the first time i’ve been there though.  i’ve been to Bintulu several time with family when i were still a kid in…. err…… light blue uniform (kindy) with a coconut shell hair-style, screaming,

"WA BEH GUAI! WA JIN PAI!" (i’m not good, i’m bad!)

mY most recent visit was a about 2 years ago…. rIght after graduating from college.  Ata insisted that i follow her home to "meet the Parents"……aNd after much persuasion i finally went.  aNd guess what were her father’s first words on meeting me…..

"oh~! yOu look fatter than when we saw you in the picture……"
(tHe picture was taken a little over a year ago, during my diploma graduation.)

i’m not afraid of parents.  tHey’re really nice people acutally.  yOu could say both our families are built on similar beliefs in life.  tHough i must say it’s still feels a bit awkward when i till about living with them for a week.

tOo late to turn back now….. tHe tickets are booked….. leave has been approved…… aNd most importantly, people had been notified……

oNe thing i’m acutally looking forward to, is playing badminton with her dad and brother.  aPparently, i have been challanged to a singles match by the brother.  pErsonally, i think i’ll get my arse whooped by it’ll be fun to take on someone other than my usually badminton buddies (A.K.A - Bin, Yun, Bak Yi, Ah Mok, Ata, etc….).  wHo knows i might even win…… though i really doubt it…. nOte to self: bRing racket…..

wEll, considering the fact that one thing from our agenda for this trip is to help them set-up the streamyx network over at her home, i guess i will be blogging from Bintulu for a week.  aNd

"i voweth that i shalt taketh tons of photoes!"

sO i opened my browser as i do every morning at my desk, and up comes Yahoo.
tHis is what i saw on the Yahoo Featured yesterday….

tHat, my dear, is a Baby Panda.  aNd this is what the title read:
"Face only a mother can love"

hAzey mOrnings….

iN case you haven’t noticed, Kuching is being invaded.  nOt by aliens…..not by insects……and no, not by terrorists….iT’s the

HAZE….

wAs listening to the radio while on my way home from work yesterday when the news came on.  aNd guess what…..Kuching and Samarahan had just hit the highest spot at air pollution level…… again….

eNters blockage up my nostrils…..
eNters a dry throat…..

iT really doesn’t seem so bad in the morning…..iT almost seem as if it was only the usual fog after a rainy night.

gAzing from a window here at the office, the scene has become rather alarming.  eVerything seems to be tinted grey.  yOu know that it’s serious when you can only half of what is usually seen, from a window on a 3rd floor that is.

tHe office is filled with the stench of smoke.  nOw almost everyone smells like a smoker here, and it’s all the fault of the air ducts. 

wHile we are suffering from a dry, haze problem, others (namely China and Taiwan) are facing strong winds and over-flowing rainfalls.  Typhoon Saomai and Typhoon Bopha has been wreaking havoc over China and Taiwan. 

i’m actually hoping some of the winds from there would move here so that it will rain, heavily.  sEeing how things are going here, i’m actually afraid that the  haze might get worse.

eNters the memories of several years ago, when everyone had to wear a Darth Vader mask just to walk to the nearest shop, and when schools closed down.  a time when i spent most of That time at the shops near my house, playing Dragon Ball GT……

oN the other had, i will be flying to Bintulu in 2 days…… hopefully the air will be better there.
