Effect Food

My once distraught friend sobbed.

“I gained 1 kilogram after eating a lychee!”

Perhaps, then, we should be thankful that McDonalds is taking a step towards awareness; they call it the Quarter Pounder. People like me, trying to gain weight, know damn well that we will gain at least a quarter of a pound eating it. We don’t have any guarantee how much we’d gain with a Big Mac (heck, they could change the weight of a Big Mac anytime!)

Soon, with enough people filing lawsuits (“caution: contents may be hot“) we will have food items named not to promise the tongue but to tell you what you can expect. Big Triple-bypass Heart Attack Mac.

Now don’t take me seriously, I love McDonalds and fast food in general.

When was the last time…

You woke up groggily, hobbled down the stairs for a drink, looked at the time and went, “Whoa. 2 AM! That’s late…”

Happy I was to realize that.

On Sunday, I slept at 10 PM, like in my school days. :O I usually sleep between 2-4 AM.

I got on an colorful minibus from Subang Parade to Sunway Pyramid. Sweeet! The ride costed 80 sen and took 15 minutes. Very neat. Spiderman 2 was the agenda, with Douglas, Nabila, Chez and I. I enjoyed it, and I could still take the mush (this wasn’t Pearl Harbor man.) A promising sequel was ready, with The Lizard, Doctor Octopus and Hobgoblin in tow, yes?

Thursday

Went to work then to college.

Friday

Met up with Seng Yip to Hartamas for the In The Front Row With Popcorn gig. Bumped into Mellissa there! Took quite a while to register a familiar face.

I didn’t stay till the end so I could catch a taxi without the midnight charge. The taxi driver introduced me to the different parts of Segambut. I never knew anything besides Segambut Dalam and Luar! After what seemed like an eternity of geographical revelation through the bumpy village road, we reached my place at a whopping… RM4.60. For once, I was proud I lived here.

Saturday

Slept whole day. A first for a Saturday, really. Woke up at 10pm and headed out for a Ramli burger and teh tarik dinner. Went home, checked bank balance. Was happy.

Sunday

Played Far Cry to start the day. At midnight. I intend to sleep at the time of writing, but teh tarik, it seems, works now and not in the morning. Oh and I changed the skin to Trained (it was Keyboard from like 20th August 2003!)

I like this picture, too!

You like being comfortable, no matter what you are doing. You’d rather be in old sweat pants than butt-baring miniskirts. You associate well with people and you have a little bit of what everyone likes. Try and mix it up a bit. Remember, the most unpredictable people are the predictable ones.

Went for the AXN thing first thing in the morning; bummed around till the end and won an umbrella, mug and army knife. Picture is not of me solving it gloriously and looking to the left, seeing my competitors haplessly catching pieces falling all over.

I had Caffe Citron at Starbucks today. It tasted like a frappucino with orange seeds crushed and blended in.

Yuck.

“You’re gonna get a tree growing in your stomach!”
“Well if it gives me good posture, why not?”
“Then you’d have roots in your butt!”
“I’d imagine it coming out my feet, but yeah I can say I got my roots man.”

More stories will follow I promise when I do not get my descriptive-event-blogging-and-testimonial-writing mood dashed by parental intervention.

Damn the free coffee; it kept me up till 6am Monday. Damn the airconditioner in the office; it gave me a flu.

I bought Alex’s 17″ monitor on Tuesday. Realizing that my keyboard was of the big-sized-connector variety, I headed over to a computer shop nearby and bought a Logitech NewTouch Keyboard. Damn it too; the Samsung one was even sissier, but the shop hadn’t much choice. I like my keyboards with tactile, resounding TAK TAK TAK when I type. At least it was cheap; otherwise, I’d never have bought a Logitech.

When typing fast, some letters would just disappear. At least it had an armrest.

A Voodoo 3 graphics card never went well with Windows XP; thus limiting what I could play:

Warm Paw played Keane on repeat. Why hasn’t the mellow Britrock scene all slit their wrists and died an automatic death?

The answer is simple. They are all manufactured… robots! Remember Gorillaz? If these songs were written by humans, they wouldn’t have kept a blade away to last a whole album’s worth.

You guys should’ve seen it coming with William Hung. He’s the man. He’s the engineer. He engineers. He’s not the best engineer, especially when it comes to the biomechanical facial skeletal expressions of Chris Martin and Thom Yorke. He could very well be creating Britrocking robots, perpetuating a strong sense of low self-esteem in the oodles of self-righteous “this is real muse-ic” fans. Think MUSE. Even Coldplay hinted at their robotic true self in their videos (plus their monotonous rhythm reinforces that).

The Americans are real rebels, though. They are angry! Do upon others harm; it is better than doing upon yourself harm. Which is really what I think I should be doing.

P.S. This blog entry and its style has been greatly inspired by a fellow Trekkie. You know who you are! 😉

Who Am I?

As of late, I have been changing my MSN Messenger nickname. (Of course, I also reversed it.)

Before this, it would always be Glaring Notebook. Now people are telling me they almost deleted me from their friends. (Well yay then the unobservant deleter won’t bug me.) Or they go “who is this?” and start cursing. (My nicknames are hardly offensive, though a bit odd… plus I don’t use horrible fancy characters.)

Gee, I don’t delete friends with strange nicks (can’t you read my email, even if it is backwards?) I don’t know if people who change nicks all the time get deleted either. I thought nick-changing was commonplace, especially to lyrics. If it’s not lyrics then it’s some gothic depression expression.

Oh, right. I’m supposed to add my old nick to it, but that would spoil the reversed cuteness of having a nick like reebtoow dna sregrubma now wouldn’t it?
