Rockin' At 10 In The Mornin'...

Earlier this year a friend of my dad asked me what's all this hype about Facebook and what use has it other than being a waste of time displaying your details to the rest of the world? All I could say then was 1) Can be used to get reconnected with old friends, 2) getting to know about events happening around.

Now I can add another one : watching live concerts by bands who wouldn't think twice about coming here to play! Yes, few hours ago I was up at the crack of 10am to watch the Foo Fighters play LIVE via FaceBook! Those of you who don't know who they are must've your heads shoved up a place where the sun don't shine for about a decade and a half.

For those who do, well, they did a free gig and streamed it via their FaceBook fan page (see it pays to click on those fan pages). They rocked for a whole 2 and a half hours! I wonder if it would've been that long at a concert. What surprised me was I was able to stream flawlessly for about 2 hours from 10-12. Then unsurprisingly our lowly ranked internet speed gave me shit. Was stuttering and lagging for the last half hour >:(.


Who says Facebook is a waste of time?...

Sweet thing was they played most of their big hits so I was actually head banging most of the time at 10 in the morning! Pity those fellas in Europe who had to watch the gig in the wee hours of the morning though... having to put on earphones and all. Well take that bitches! Now you know how we feel having to stay up watching football matches!

This was my 2nd time watching something being streamed live over Facebook. 1st was the memorial service for MJ. Hopefully more artist will catch up to this and decide to do a free gig for the fans. Would really like to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers do this!

Right, I suppose now is the right time to go and resume my nap time. Couldn't sleep till 6am and woke up at 10 for the show.

Oh Halloween is today though we Malaysians don't celebrate this as big as the States. It would be nice to dress up as a cop and beat up people eh? But then again, people might just say "meh, biasa lah tu, macam tak pernah tengok".

One last note, this week's South Park pwns last week's 'They Took His Job' episode with Cartman singing Poker Face! And shit it wasn't half bad!

Aftermath...

Say what you want about the match just now, but for the record, I honestly didn't think we deserved to win. I'll be the first to stand up and admit we were beaten by the better team. Right from the kick off Liverpool looked the more hungrier side. Their passes were more precise and had more intent. Hey, it's their managers' head on the line, not Fergie's so naturally they will have more incentive. And I've already said before the match that I can't see Liverpool losing 5 in a row.

Yes we were way way below par. Only shot on target was Rooney's offside goal. Scholes was shitty, I have always said, we can never play big matches with 2 senior players in the team. Oh well, looks like a half fit Torres is better than a half fit Rooney. There were several beach balls on the loose but they didn't come in the way.

Though I do wonder what might've been had the referee grew a pair of nuts and be more consistent. Booking United players, fine I'll accept, but not booking the home team for more malicious tackles is a travesty to football. No wonder the rest of the league claims the Big 4 have the ref's in their back pocket. To prove a point, Carragher was only shown a yellow card for last man tackle on Owen? To prove another point, wait til the return match at Old Trafford, and I'm sure someone will say the ref is on United's side.

Well, it is just 10 games in the season and 2 losses. Not that bad, we had worse times, not to mention losing this fixture home and away last season. All in all, good job on Liverpool's side on winning. On to the next fixture thn...

Life's A Beach...

Another week of the BPL has passed. I say another even though still got 2 matches to be played but since neither involves a Big 4 club, who cares? We manage to make life difficult for ourselves yet again but I have to say Berba is beginning to find his form and could've scored a sublime goal but for a great save from the keeper. And Giggs could've had 3-4 assists IF anyone of his balls was met properly.. thus he only gave me 2 pts in this weeks Fantasy =.='.

But there was good news as 2 of the Big 4 lost. Though I seriously think Darren Bent should NOT be given the goal. It should instead go to the beach ball! Heavy deflection, if it was a Liverpool player (eh, with the logo it might have been!) that would've been an own goal already. Haiz, guess I've to jump on the Bent-wagon again. 2 games I drop him and he comes up with +- 20 pts.

And ahead of next weeks massive clash between Liverpool and United, I have a funny feeling that there will be a large warning sign in front of Anfield saying 'No Beach Balls Allowed!'. Ah, til next week then, in terms of footballing sense, I hope everyone will be fit so that it will be a good match and no excuses can be thrown by the losing team, if there is one. But, in terms of a die hard United fan, hopefully Rooney will be back but Gerrard and Torres is still out! How bout Owen to score @ Anfield?

Ok, need to bitch about PYH cos PYH has been bitchin to me the past few days. When the bugger called me yesterday, I thought it was to see how I was going ka, ask me how I'm spending my weekend ka, wish me happy Deepavali ka (eh, we did wish each other Selamat Hari Raya k), but nooo, bitch just called to ask how to cook beef @ Seoul Garden =.='.

Well, on a lighter note, I'm happy to know that 30 Rock is finally back on the air! But I am having a bit of a troubling time watching this British comedy called The Mighty Boosh. Seriously is a trippy kind of show with funky hairdos and senseless plots. I don't think many of my friends would be able to watch this show. Shit, even I couldn't watch more than 1 epi per time. Overkill...

Before I head off to lunch, I want to put this vid from YouTube up. Sorry love if you get teary eyed over this but I just had too, sure you all know why.


Simply Awesome...

I can only imagine the level of preparation the people had to go through, and it has been happening all over the globe! Check out the one in Bucharest, Romania, equally as awesome. But as usual, we Malaysians want to dip our toes into everything and at times tend to take almost everything out of context and well, just able to make it suck however noble our intentions are.


Nice try but kinda fail...

If you actually see the video, notice 2 things: Flash Mob where will have banner saying 'Flash Mob'? (but I guess they had to else the police/ISA will catch them for illegal gathering!) and the tempo of the song is soooo S-L-O-W. Aih, true to the spirit of Malaysia, apa pun boleh.

But all in all, notice how because of 1 man, people who otherwise won't know each other are able to come together and do something for a good cause even in Malaysia. Yet, this only happened because of the saying : we never know what we have until we lose it. How true...

Lost In Translation...

Seems like anyone can accuse anyone of anything just because they can't understand what that person is writing. And when I say 'can't understand' I mean they do not understand simple English yet they can accuse and English written article of insulting Islam when in fact, after being translated and read to someone who has good understanding in Malay, says that there is nothing wrong with it.

Meaning to say just because I don't understand English, but I read your article and I think you are insulting my religion, therefore I shall accuse you of insulting my religion and call the cops on your ass.



Like MJ said, or what the creators of South Park made MJ said, 'you're just ignorant'.

And the government wants to change teaching Maths and Science in English back to Malay (wait, they change back already right?). Serious FAIL on so many education levels. I seriously pity the fools kids of tomorrow...

I pity the fool...

Well, this comes from a place where someone who has been found guilty of bribery gets elected as MP where as in China, the same offence gets death by firing squad. Ah well, in Bolehland, apa lan pun boleh lah!

Wonders Of The Human Body...

Was suppose to become ah long for my dad Saturday, collect rent from tenants that have not paid for 2 months liao! Thing is, its in freaking USJ damnit!! I sempat do this on Facebook:


Sad man... not even 1 comment or like :(...

But as you can see, there are no kind souls on Facebook, just soulless, lifeless people playing Mafia Wars :P (ok ok, myself included!). So initial plan fail, postponed to Sunday cos hey, tenants should be around on Sunday right?

However, I wasn't sure if it was the kangkung belacan or the numerous drinks of JW or a combo of both that gave me food poisoning today!

Now usually I wouldn't talk bout gross out stuff like projectile spewing here but today was something ... well, fascinating to me. Woke up at 10.10 am for throw up #1. I thought it was done , most of it came out though surprisingly neither kangkung nor rice were seen, just the Oreos I had before bed (and we all know what colour Oreos are!)

http://www.flatrock.org.nz/topics/education/assets/oreos.jpg
It looked like a scene from some alien show man...

Here's where the fascination begins, went back to sleep and an hour later, exactly at 11.10, throw up #2 begin! And again at 12.10! Walao, didn't know wanna throw up oso got timing wan... -.-'' And at around 1pm I was already up and on standby d. And like clockwork, 1.10 +- few mins, #4 came -.-'. Think there was nothing left in my stomach liao cos luckily time #5 didn't happen.

Was seriously thinking of going to the doctor had I been in the toilet at 2.10pm. Zhou said virus geng, can know to stop before I go see doctor -.-'. And I knew I was on the road to recovery when 3.10 and 4.10 came and went and nothing happened!

Seriously, timing so geng wan meh?? Oi, future doctors, diagnose can mou? :D

On another note, I have to admit that Yong was right when he said Kung Fu Cyborg was chun (summore coming from someone who has maybe 5% language proficiency in Canto) . As usual none of us believed him at first, but then I said what the heck, might as well download since got nothing to download for now. And whaddya know, 5 minutes into the show already I was laughing my ass off!!

I think those who understand Canto fully will have a much funnier time. Fight scenes were a bit corny and fail in the graphics department but hey, it ain't Hollywood right? Heck, the cyborg even had a move from Bleach : Getsuga Tenshou!

http://en.cnci.gov.cn/PicLib/2009325103950957.jpg
Bleach readers/viewers watch out for this fight scene...

Well, I think that's all for now, no EPL this weekend so no footie rants. But seriously, next week if Ben Foster plays, I think we will lose -.-'.

Love Thy Neighbour? Pt 2...

As well all know by now, our 'friendly' neighbour was hit by yet another earthquake a couple of days ago. And sure enough, we, us, yes I did say US, as good neighbours offered unconditional help. Even Air Asia gave away free tickets here for those who want to do voluntary work there. But this also goes without saying that Indonesia was already expecting help from us as they think its our obligation to love thy neighbour.

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/apr2009/7/2/bad-neighbours-pic-rex-992221888.jpg
Gimme back my batik sarong you tosser...

However, this comes in the wake of the Indonesian government accusing us, yes US again, of stealing several cultural 'things' from them. From batik, to the wayang kulit, to keris to the Pendet dance and even to spices such as turmeric! They want to chop Indo on turmeric!! So putting it simply, they accuse us of stealing yet they want our help! WTF!

If any of you read today's (Sunday) The Star Focus section (middle part there), *found the article, click here*there was this interview between a Malaysian journalist and some Indo party member claiming they want to attack us Malaysians on our home soil! How? He claims that the message has already been sent to the 1.4 million Indo workers here to bomb/destroy/burn down their work place. From maids to labourers to professionals!


If in Malaysia, how would the ISA react?...

And they even have checks in Jakarta, though I don't think they have permits, to see if you are a Malaysian. If you are, they claim to just tell you to 'go home'. Why all this hostility lah? Well we did give them 2 terrorist in Noordin Mat Top and Azahari Husin which in the eyes of the world, were from Indo... And he did claim that the Indo workers here were unfairly treated and often beaten by the authorities. Hello??!! That even happens to Malaysian citizens ok!! Oh, he also claims those attacks will happen on Oct 8. So we see how la...

Well, not only Indonesians are taking shots at us, even Singaporeans are claiming they have the rights to Bak Kut Teh, Chilli Crab and Hainanese Chicken Rice!! Oi! Tiu nia ma.. I have the right to Hainanese Chicken Rice ok cos I AM Hainanese! I think I should sue them and claim the dish as our own!! HAH!

http://www.3-meals.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/dsc_0014.JPG
I'll cry if I can't eat this anymore...

On hindsight, we Malaysians also decided to 'play' with the neighbour's kids in the mud pond by wanting to claim the rights to nasi lemak, laksa and char kueay teow! Aih, can't we all live in peace if not for the sake of harmonious relationships between neighbours then for the sake of food?? Next thing you know they will outlaw any non Malaysian food here, non Singaporean food there, and non Indo food there..

I don't think I have any Singaporean friends to offend though I do have relatives there and Daryl is working there,though he is pretty much suffering... and the only Indo friend I can think about is Yong's Indo Maid! So I don't think I'll be attacked rite? LOL
