The World Cup Fever is ON!

I am feeling under the weather these day, I guess its because of the start of World Cup Fever.

Everyday I get the same question, again and again, “who do you think will be in the final?”. If I say England they’ll boo me, Argentina, they’ll say, only if Maradona isn’t coaching. I guess everyone has their own opinion.

I don’t actually support any team in general. Not because I don’t have a stand, but I believe my loyalty is with Harimau Malaya even though they suck (big time). All in all, I just want to see a good game.

So where will I be watching the WC? Mamak, some fast food chain or home.

My Water Moments

Sheessh, I never thought I’d be writing this.

It was the weekend everyone waited for, going picnic at Sg. Gabai. Forget about the world, forget about work. It’s just you versus the great outdoor.

Sg. Gabai is one tough destination. You have to hike about 20 meters high before you can enjoy the waterfall. It’s plus point to swim on top, you wouldn’t want to accidentally drink anyone’s pee.

It’s a norm for me to get under the waterfall. Being hit on the back by chunks of water makes me feel, somehow aroused. As we gathered under the waterfall, K tippy-toed and leaps on stones to snap our photo.

We did warn him, “Jatuh karang, abes camera kau.” He ignored and snapped anyway.

As he head back to the land, he slipped and fall! “Camera, camera, camera!” we shouted at K, we worried about his camera. While on his back, he looked at us with a camera in his hand and said, “SAFE!”. As he tried to get up, he accidentally dipped half of the camera in water. POOF, there goes his RM 1.8k investment.

It would’ve been better if he used the Sony TX5. It’s water proof, shock resistant and slim. Another great feature is the sweep panorama, which made me wonder, how did they program such a way? Anti-shock, CMOS, video, Carl Zeiss lens, burst mode, all comes in standard.

ps: I am writing this post hoping to be the lucky three to win the TX5 to reimburse K‘s investment. I don’t really like taking photos, I rather BE IN IT ;)

The Idiocy in Quoting People

I was talking to a friend on one fine day over morning teh tarik, suddenly the boy next to me decides to jump and shout, lu pikir sendiri!

That’s coming from Nabil and that’s just plain stupid and rude.

First, who is Nabil? A comedian. What is his qualification? No idea. What is his achievement? Raja Lawak. What is he to the community? Source of entertainment.

Second, why use such a lowly quote? Is it entertaining? Is it fun? Is it catchy? Well, to some extend, it is. Personally it only signifies the inability to be original. If you’re not original, what’s the point of living?

Third, why not use other quotes? I guess it’s mainly not fun and catchy. But think about it, what do you want to portray yourself as? Someone intelligent? Someone funny? Someone that everyone likes? Pious?

Say for example, you engaged into a heated intellectual debate, and you ended your discussion with, ‘lu pikir sendiri’. Where does that leave you? Right, no where and intellectually lower.

So the next time you decide to talk or write, think carefully. A famous Dalai Lama quote, “We are what we think. With our thoughts, we make the world”

ps: I’m not just focusing on Nabil’s but every other that sounds stupid/rude.

It’s All About Arguments

Ever where I turn, there’s bound to be an argument going on. Politicians, business man, parents, engineers, golfers, shuttlers, players, lovers, ex-lovers, landlords, hoes, baaaahhhhh, I had enough of this crap.

Can’t we just agree to disagree? Unfortunately, this is not utopia.

I guess it’s time that of month for guys. Similar to girls, it’s called “Datang Matahari” instead of “Datang Bulan”.

ps: Shit happens, deal with it.

Lagi Kes Tembak @ Shah Alam

Ni ape gile polis kat Malaysia ni? Main suke hati je tembak.

Imagine if the police failed to hit the target, who’ll be the casualty? Ok, fine. It hits you and you’re not dead. But who’ll pay for the medical expenses? Yeah, no other than yourself.

I guess this is what happens if you give monkeys a gun. They should be given bananas instead.

Now the painful conclusion, is Shah Alam a safe place to settle?

  1. Kugan – Died in lock up
  2. Altantuya – C4-ed at Bukit Jelutong
  3. AminulRasyid – Shot dead at Section 11
  4. Sharil Azlan – Shot at Section 11

Think about it.

ps: Internal joke – lower your head when you see a police officer, they might shoot you for no obvious reason.
