Bumping Does Not Hurt

YAY Ah-Ha is back on 8TV at 10:30pm, Sundays, as Ah-Ha 2! Catch more educated Malaysian parody by Afdlin Shauki and Harith Iskandar! No, none of that Senario slapstick.

chez1978 has more masked messages to write on our haze masks:

  • What the heck, it was free anyway.
  • I am not disfigured.
  • Darth Vader lives on!
  • If you are reading this, stop staring please.
  • Remove only to plant wet noisy kisses.
  • Got hazed?
  • End your plumbing nightmares. Call Ah Kau at XXX-XXXXXXX now and get a 20% discount. (Remember to make Ah Kau pay for the mobile advertising)

Anyway, this week was an interesting one full of me bumping into people (and no it did not hurt, Cheneille.)

On Friday, an ex-schoolmate called for technical support. I solved his problem, then he asked when I was free. Next week perhaps?

I then headed to the Mont Kiara Jazz Fest to catch Cosmic Funk Express with my colleague, and guess what? My ex-schoolmate came and joined us. He was my colleague’s churchmate. I haev major respect for him, as Paul and him are the only people around my age who paid for their own cars completely without the help of parents (okay there’s the help of a car loan…) Screw you kids who proudly insist “oh this is my car” but forget who paid downpayment.

The next day I was online at the office, and an ex-colleague bugged me about some technical stuff. I then headed to Sunway Pyramid out of boredom, following colleagues to cover an event. Across the crowd, I spotted that ex-colleague! What excellent flow. We met up for some catching up, and she dropped me off at Subang Parade.

I called the affable Nabila but alas! She was in Bangsar. I was thinking of a hearty Nando’s lunch and dinner (it was 6:30pm already!) when I remembered who I last had dinner at Nando’s Subang Parade withLeech! I called, and found out she was in Subang Parade as well! We then had double-cheesy pizza; interestingly, the extra cheese was in the crust instead of on top, so it wouldn’t slide about, moving the topping with it.

Hannna then called just as we paid the bill, just like the last time, and Leech scuttled off like a crab again.

Yes more pictures will come. Soon.

Medical Coverage

ASTRO rocks. They take care of their employees. I got one of these for free:

Now I can stand behind express buses and go, “you can’t hurt me!” Now I can go to the smoking section of ASTRO and hang out with the cool people.

Sugar Sugar, Oh Honey Honey

Yes folks, this is a regular Coca Cola 325 ml tin, and a 5 grams packet of sugar.

It says that there is 11 grams of sugar in 100 mls, while the amount of sugar in a serving (240 ml) is 25 ml. Now who drinks only 73.8% of a Coca Cola can and leaves the rest for another day?

Supposing 100 ml had 11 grams, 325 ml has 11 / 100 * 325 = 35.75 grams. Now look to the right; a regular packet of sugar at 5 grams. 35.75 grams makes SEVEN packets of sugar!

Can you imagine drinking seven liquified packets of sugar?

Kids, carbonated drinks are bad for you. Low-sugar or “less sugar” canned drinks have 18 grams, or 4 packets. Not so obscenely diabetic.

Macam Macam Ada

I went to the Macam Macam Ada gig last Saturday. Here’s to more pictures!

From left to right, then down a line:

  • Khai‘s little toy is little-r than I thought.
  • Adam of Dragon Red… on bass guitar for Lied! That makes three bassists in that band already, including Amil for Warve.
  • Paul’s New Place has a skylight.
  • Outwrite; two guitarists, one bassist, one drummer, two photographers.
  • Ceramic Circle: Emo punk and a guitarist whose strap-holder broke. Funny thing is they say he looked like a hobbit. Really! The face and the curly hair! Emo bands also seem to have badly-pitched vocals. Or maybe it’s hard to scream and sing at the same time.

  • Az Samad takes a lot more poetic license in this rock gig; he jumps, he rocks out, he does a slow building intro, and he wows the Singaporeans.
  • Thank you and goodnight!
  • Daisy Chain, with pretty guitars. And some pretty good rock.
  • Where is everyone getting their Ebows from? Woh Fatt doesn’t sell them anymore.


Eddy is finally a true blue green rock star. Incredible! Plus he plays mean harmonica with the new cast of Triple 6 Poser (whatever happened to the name change, people?)

  • Twelve-string guitars need three hands to tune.
  • My Squared Circle was a much better sounding emo band; the vocals were in tune (or maybe the vocalist was singing to an easier style of emo). They were also chewing gum! Even the vocalist! Maybe that helps. Emo bands probably chew gum and face their butts to the audience, flashing their underwear brands.
  • Poseidon, featuring kickass flashy shredder. Cool scales and double tapping on one guitar, as well as two guitarists tapping!
  • Deja Voodoo was the only band that could follow such skill. Sadly, Rithan lost the locks that made him look like Dimebag Darrel. Yes Fazri, that is two Thundercats logos on his guitar.
  • The Blumps were cursed as a finishing act as I was broke and had to hitch a ride with Hannna.

Well yeah end of story. Not.


It’s the end of the world! The haze came down for a visit on Tuesday. I couldn’t stop myself from taking loads of pictures. It was like Genting, but smelling of smoke instead.

Goodbye Red Sky

I was on the LRT to Bangsar when I saw this:


Goodbye, red sky. The end of the world is near.
Into tripods we fly. Black void of death we fear.
We satisfy the thirst like our blood was beer.
But you choke and you die and we live to cheer.


This effect was done with Vivid color settings, +2 EV, and ISO 400 sensitivity. There was no color or brightness adjustment; only resize and sharpen! Interestingly, the pillars look like they were negative; this is because of the moss on top that made it look inverted.

Botak Chin

I bumped into an old friend in a shopping mall, and this transpired a week later. His messages are in bold.

Hey
Hola!
Been wanting to tell you this for almost a week
Hola to you too…

Sup?
Hahahaha
So yes what do you wanna tell me?
Remember my ex-housemates who were with me at 1U the other day?
Yeah
Well, if it’s any compliments, they think you’re cute
BUT… with a queer for a straight guy moment…
They recommended that you should shave off the goatie
And I quote them “it makes him look weird”

How weird?
Are they your roomies from THAT SS2 house?
Hahaah… bingo
I dunno how weird, you go ask them yourself la..
LOL

I DO intend to actually, I think it’s long enough to have proven its point, and I’ve probably impressed enough people as the “chinaman who can grow a beard”
What do YOU think?
Beard or no beard?
All I can say is…
I do agree with them
LOL…
(sorry, bro)

See, I wanna be attractive to girls not gays
It kinda makes you look like you’re nowhere in between
Hahahaha
Trust me
If gays dun like it

Nowhere in between? In between what two extremes?

He didn’t reply, so I went for lunch, and when I came back he was gone.

Oooh Friday night was fun, I bumped into old old friends all over Hartamas! So then, the verdict was made. Everybody saw the beard. It was time to go. Sorry Suanie!


Left: Botak Chin. Right: Chinaman can grow beard you know.

Botak is Malay for bald, by the way.

On Saturday morning, nobody noticed! It seems that people notice that there was a beard, but nobody noticed that it was gone.

Ah well, there won’t be any more Chinese chicks asking me for directions in Malay. 🙁

Edit: Ooh! Till the last day, my beard continued growing to my right. Weird. I thought it would eventually be heavy enough and let gravity pull it down.

Can Chill?

My friend is a racecar driver! Telltale signs are:

1) Red paint job, because red is a racy color
2) Removed rear seats to keep the weight down
3) An affixation for speeding down empty Kepong roads

Yes people, when you do 2) to your Kancil, you can really feel more horsepower. Serious.
