Thanks SOOO MUCH~!!!

Was browsing through some of my friend's blog when something cought my eyes, yes once again, Wesley's blog. It seems this guy is full of ideas and creativity, but good thing he is using it for a good cause.


Compliments of Wesley

Of course this picture comes with a story, a very nice story created by no other than Wesley again, here goes

Below will be the synopsis of Sarcastic Four:

During a makan session in Mamak.. Four people are discussing about how to eat & yet don't get fat.. Therefore, a new group was formed, & they call themselves SARCASTIC FOUR! Wesley Wee, the one being branded most sarcastic among all proposed a plan.. But somehow, the plan doesn't seem to be accepted by all, & that's why it explains of his current shape right now Wesley exclaims," DAMN! There are no words in expressing my JOY!".. With that, all turn to Jacob, seemingly the most experience among all.. Jacob somehow didn't bother much about his size &.. Well, as you can see from the picture, his size is soooooooo PERFECT.. Therefore, Jacob hold on to his motto, "Eat lar.. Eat lar, dun worry, at most you look like Wesley, 'Not Bad' wat.." Next, Danl stands up & speak, "Behold.. Thou shall eat.. Be picky, no worries, 'SLIM' like me.." With that, Jo steps in, "I support Danl.. Eat, ye shall.. slowly but surely.. Just look at me.. Hide flesh, no worries.. Right?" Everybody, "Yeah.. Right!"

Now, we present you, THE SARCASTIC FOUR!


There you go, the story written by my sarcastic, Wesley. As I was reading through the blog, I think I'll have my own version of the picture, where you have, the "Weird 4". First you have "Mr.Chabohlogy", who is no other but Wesley(again). Mr. Chabohlogy's power is his ability to reject the prettiest of girls, claiming, "NO FEEL" and he's seen better.

Next up is "Mr. Analyse" aka the fire man. He's very good in analysing all situations and giving his analytical opinion. Mr. Analyse is accompanied by "Mrs. I Will Follow You". So what ever Mr. Analyse gets from his analyse, Mrs. I Will Follow U will follow as usual.

And last but not least..the ugly stone man, Mr. Makan. No extra description needed....

So that's my version, and the morale of the story is, I'm learning to crap just like Wesley there. Not that it's not a good thing, I'll have more things to post! Besides that, my brothers are disturbing me now hahahaha. By the way, I'm actually talking with aunty Sandy and Wesley using Skype. Maybe that is why I cannot really concentrate on talking, I mean writting now. So that'll be it

6yardcup 4

The first round of 6yardcup 4 has just been concluded, and boy was I happy with the results!. For more information, please refer to the 6yardcup website. By the way, refarding the small community of 6yardbox, our friend Brian, created a blog and so happened he invited me to be part of the posters.


There you go, a rather simple blog with mostly Brimme, and Daniel filling up the post columm. The blog holds everything from facts, to rumours, to everything you can think of about the Hattrick community. WIth dynamic english used by Brimme and Daniel, it's a must read for all fun seekers, especially Hattrickians out there.

But for now, I would like to dedicate this blog to cool contact, my team hehehe;
The whole camp of cool contact was seen celebrating it's infamous win against a very formidable foe. The manager, cought after the match by some journalist commented;>
"We played at almost our very best today, with Jiang and Bian totally harrasing the somewhat dazed Boyz's defenders. I'm very proud and will be looking forward for the return of Aiman Wong and Tao Chung Kai to help strengthen our offensive approach"

What made the team more happy was the fact that Tera Tera did some serious damage to Happy Hush Puppies aka "The Great Wall Of China" with a pleasant upset that will definately liven up the group. Cool contact will now be looking forward to further seal it's fate on this cup edition;
"It wont be an easy task, but I believe our offensive approach might just bear fruits in the end. We might even surprise the crowd with 5 strikers!" exclaimed the manager with a chuckle.

Obviously, the very famed "Group of Death" is living up to it's expectation, but stay tuned as other groups are providing much dramas as well. It is heard that the impressive Piala Malaysia run of Real Alonacara FC might just hurt the defending champion's quest for a Hattrick of fame from 6yardcup.


With so many at stake, a free meal to Chilis for the winner of this edition, WOOHOO!!! Hopefully cool contact wins lar, but it would be highly unlikely.

No Fun Without RISKs..

Once again, put my health on the line to play some futsal! Had enough rest last night, but had to wake up at 6.50 this morning to accompany my granny to the market. I just drove there, and told her I'm too sleepy to walk around, so I slept in the car, for don't know how long it was. After that, went home, slept for a while when my brothers and sisters start jumping around my bed wanting me to wake up, they need transport to go for their weekly badminton session. Had a bad quarrel with my sister, and guess what! I WON THIS TIME!!! Thanks to mummy who was there to support me this time.

Waited like a mad fellah, oozing out the "bored" face in Bukit Jalil where my brothers and sister was playing badminton. Was teasing the coach, pushing him to enforce some agility training for his assitant.

Hrm, this picture don't paint the perfect image I have in mind. You see, it was taken quite some time back.

Alright, back to the topic, my ankles are not 100% yet, but the inner urge for some exercise and "FUTSAL", it overwhelmed me! So, even with some advice against it, there I go again. At first thought, I'm just gonna play keeper, but after a few great save and one stupid fumble, THAT'S IT!!! I really couldn't stand it any longer!!! So there I go again, playing outfield, running slower than I usually do, less power, and of course, once again, kena kicked here there everywhere.

Anyway, the game today was terrible, even though I scored with the sore ankle(s), there wasn't one good highlight about it. Was just resting when some nonsense fellah knocked my head. When I looked back, there wasn't anyone fishy, even though I knew who did it. Next time, COME OUT AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!! Don't you all ever try to poke or whack someone at his/her back.

BMW Sauber!

Cool news, BMW actually is willing to fork out millions after millions of dollars to aquire my favourite team, Sauber Petronas. No doubt the petronas logo should be gone next year, I'll continue to support this team unless something unexpected happens! And suddenly I'm beginning to be excited over the future prospect of this team. Good to hear that Sauber will be able to keep their work force and have added fund, added professional colleagues to help them out.

Okay enough of F1 for the moment, this news kept me excited for the past week or so. Back to my life! I guess Pseudomonas FC decided to kickstart their 6yardcup 4 challenge by ruthlessly injuring 2 of my favourite players. SIGGHHHHHH

Played badminton today, despite the chance of aggravating my already weak ankles. True enough, even though I didn't run much or play really hard, my right ankle gave way, thanks to a terrible bump at the carpet surface. The uneven surface made me lose balance thus twisting my ankle quite badly. Thank God that was the last point, even though we lost, I was relieved there was no urge to continue playing.


Swollen ankle ball

Well, when I think back, regret playing today, not many interesting games, no form, no racquet to go with it, everything just seems not normal, seems bad, bad, bad bad bad bad bad bad bad..................... and BAD!!!!

I even left my carkeys in the car. Had to call for help from an unlikely source, Philip Loke. Will not disclose how he helped me, but NOTE: If you ever lock your keys inside your own car, don't call him, he wont be able to help you. Only special case like mine can be saved.

By the way, remember Real Suckers aka Jesudas?? Danl had a fun time relating how he "accidentally" kicked Jesu on the head while waking up this morning. Yeah, Jesudas was at his place last night. I guess that's just a small warning of what is to come in 6yardcup 4.......just the start, just the start......

6Yardcup 4 HERE WE COME!!

Today we concluded the draw and finalized the groupings and seedings for the up and coming 6yardcup 4, held in Burger King, Sri Hartamas branch.


As usual, we started off by filling our stomach, look at both the Thong sibblings, don't you think they look alike? Okay maybe it is abit too far fetched to call them lookalikes, but observe carefully, the way the consume their food is really similar!


Final minutes before the all important, "Team Picking" is done. I really can't find any other word to use at the moment, so please, "team picking" is a nice term. The table in the middle, containing all the empty A4 sized paper was the "CHOSEN" table, endorsed and sanctified by our organizers.


As clearly shown, everyone means business here, the coveted prize is there for the taking, so we don't want any hiccups to occur even at the initial "team picking" event. We started of by seeding all the 28 teams. Seeding is done by taking 6yardcup 3 results and turning them into points. All new teams are seeded last. We split all the teams evenly into 7 groups, A - G, with each group consisting of power teams, not so power teams, and down right lousy teams(just kidding).


Our very first pick, done by none other than Mr. Wesley Wee, proud owner of highly rated Pseudomonas FC(if that is how it is spelt). Convert it to cantonese and you will get, Pseu Tow Mou Nga, which means, laugh till you've got no teeth left. Lets hope the only person laughing till that happens will be only him.


With each draw, organizer, Daniel Loke will be jotting down the teams in order. So happen, Danl is the proud manager of Real Alonacara FC, previous winners of 6yardcup 3 and 6yardcup 2.


There you go, the final list for the up and coming 6yardcup 4. Poor cool contact(which so happen to be my team) being grouped together in the group of "DEATH", consisting of Happy Hush Puppies(Vincent), Tera Tera(Sean) and coolboyz(FC)(Elezer..if that is how his name is spelt). Group C we call it, die lorrrrrr.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MEETING

No.1 Most HATED TEAM!!!:



Drawing compliment of Wesley

Yes, we hate him, he sucks, it's no other than REAL SUCKERS!!! The crown for the biggest upset king in 6yardcup 3 went to no other than this team.


AHA!!! JESUDAS IT IS!!! The crown bearer!!! Beside him is Philip(Auratus City). Don't be fooled by his smiley and dark figure, HE DEMANDS RESPECT!!! Going around with his tag line, "YOU DUN RESPECT ME ARRRR?? SHOW ME SOME RESPECT WEI!!!!"

Maybe that is how he managed to upset his way through 6yardcup 3! By the way, number one enemy of Jesudas will be no other than Volkommen FC(Brian) who inevitably lost 3-2 even though Real was totally outclassed in EVERY DEPARTMENT!!! Respect has been shown then, and now, respect shall only be granted to those who deserves it!


Highlight
No.2 WOMEN TERROR!

Never underestimate the girls team I would say....


OPPSS!!! Sorry this is not a girl, he's no other than Eman(Extramile). Gosh, I don't know what got into me, it's so obvious he looks like a girl, I mean he is not a girl at all right?? Some technical glitch here, will get it right ........

NOW

There, the original lady terror. On the right, Rachel(Munchkin Villa) and on the left, Joanne(Fille Douce). Come on, judging by their team names, you can immagine how terrific they can be. Munchkin Villa?? Munch down all the food, I mean all the opponents like they were food. Fille Douce?? Sounds more like Fish Fillet to me, sorry Jo, you can't hide, just make sure you deep fry the fish properly before consuming them.


When it comes to TERROR, we have our QUEEN OF TERRORS!!! No other than Kat(Abeille). Don't be fooled by the relaxed physical attributes, she is filthy rich, something like our local Chelsea. The only difference is, this manager is abit trifty, thus saving up money for her evil genius plan, don't ask me...

No.3 UNWANTED GUEST:

Formula 1???

Yesterday, I witness one of the most humiliating scene in Formula 1. It is the first time in HISTORY!!!! That a race was ran by only 6 cars, Ferraris, Jordans and Minardis. Obviously Ferrari dominated and Michael won whereas Rubens came in second. For the first time, Monteiro, a Portugese driver, was seen on a podium, another piece of HISTORY!!! Man, this is bad for F1, especially when the US Grand Prix is meant to promote the sport in the land of NASCAR and so forth. End effect?? Well, Fans boo Schumacher to victory, reported F1Racing.net.


Not a very normal scene isn't it?? Come on, when is the last time we witness a JORDAN driver up there? I don't even know who that fellah is!!!!!

Well, here's what happened,

"Michelin will not allow its seven Formula One teams race in the US Grand Prix today. This was announced by Michelin today in response of the FIA statement. The FIA refused to allow Michelin to use different tyres or to create a chicane in the final corner.

It means that Renault, McLaren, Williams, Toyota, Sauber, Red Bull and BAR will not be racing in the F1's ninth round. It is still unclear what will happen and if the race will get underway with only six cars (Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi)."


Well, I really can't see why Michelin did not do their homework this time around! Producing "UNSAFE" tyres for your very dear trusted teams?? My goodness!!! And now, news are spreading that Ferrari didn't allow agree to them for a chicane to be built at turn 13(not so sure lar which turn) to reduce the force on the left rear tyre, the problematic area. I really cannot explain in details why they are having such problems, lazy to photoshop the layout of the track indicating the sector where problems will arise.

By the way, congrats to Bridgestone for coming out with competetive tyres, allowing your 3 teams to race and score, score alot too!!! I really don't blame Ferarri for going out, some might call them lack of gamesmanship but hei!!! They did their homework, they analysed all possible probabilities, and I'm very sure they wouldn't want all that hard work to go down the drain. I feel sorry for the other teams too, just because Michelin made a BOO BOO, 14 cars were stuck in the garage. From what I hear from the comentary teams, they are not sure if the tyre can last 10 laps!!!

Problems arose when Ralf crashed during practice, that's when the Michelin engineers woke up. I really feel bad for Sauber, the one team I'm pretty fond of because of Petronas, and I feel for the thousands of fans who came expecting 20 cars to start the race, sorry to say, they've just wasted a minimum of USD$100 each person. Man, what a sad sight for Formula 1.

Okay, blame time! Of course in my oppinion, blame it on Michelin, they were lazy, they didn't study things carefully, they blew it bigtime, and I hope there's only one tyre supplier for F1 next season!!! YA MICHELIN MICHELIN MICHELIN!!!!! That's where fingers should be pointing at!!!! Oh well, some others blaming on Bernie(is that your name??) some blaming on political war, blah blah, aiyah if the french tyre fellah didn't mess it up, none such thing would happen lar, blame Michelin if F1 fail big time in US!! YES BLAME THEM!!! Blame them that poor old Saubers had to stay back in garage, blame them I didn't see the Petronas logo on track.......

COME ON!!! BURST THOSE TYRES WITH A KNIFE?? BANG IT WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!!! I WASTED PRECIOUS SLEEP WATCHIN 6 CARS RACING BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!

Oh yeah, burst the tyres all you want, just don't do it on the Saubers, my favourite drivers are driving for them too.

Darn Michelins

SWIMMIN!!!

Alrite, after many months, I mean weeks of laziness/lazyness(if there's such a word lar). Hrm, really wish I can swim as well as last time, swimming for me really took a dip after the ankle injury I suffered last year. Well, just swam a few laps of freestyle when ankle started to give problems again, so switched to breast-stroke instead. Couldn't do the usual laps of butterfly.

After about 10 laps(most likely its less than that), we stopped, Wesley, James and I and started chatting about futsal, futsal, futsal, and of course James shared about his experiences with his wife, Yee Lynn, how they got together, what happened before that, blah blah, pretty funny. But the most important lesson of all, is that we should all just leave it to God and let our relationships be based on God's ways.

Was just laughing at a friend just now, only 12 and he already claims he's in a relationship. MY GOODNESS!! Hahahaha, I guess he must be mixing too much with his cousin, only 19 but has been in hot persuit for quite sometime already. If it wasn't for his mother's intervention, most likely he'll be in deep S&*T already by now. Anyway, if anyone of you want to court any girls, please lar, don't influence small kids, poor fella will be sitting for his UPSR this year, what if anything happen man??

Oh shit, just wanted to type some more when people start messaging me telling me things and so forth. That'll be all for now...

Fun Test

Was browsing through some blogs when I came upon Kit Leen's blog. Apparently she took some funny IQ test and posted it there. So here I am, challenging my little mind to think hard, and there is the result;


Not bad eh?? Well of course I cheated abit for the verbal Intelligence test, used and online dictionary to help me. By the way, if you are so free to test out your head, click here to go the the link. Oh, might as well just click on the picture above, it will redirect you.

Well and once again, darn berjayaclubs coming out with nonsense messages. This time, they blocked all the courts causing us to be FRUSSSS!!!!! So the only solution now would be to sleep early, wait for tomorrow to book the court.


There you go, sorry, no more slots, sighhh come on lar!!!!

Man my jaw is hurting now, thanks to the earlier futsal game. So happen Bruce was running, I managed to steal the ball, he couldn't brake and ram his shoulder into my neck. Really felt dizzy then and slumped to the ground. Took me sometime to regain my composure but it effected my game terribly. Can't really blame Bruce too, he's famous for being very single minded and at times rash, so it's okay(grins).

Looks like my ankles aren't really back to its fullself yet, still feeling weak and pain at times, this calls for a rest. Besides that, my racquet is still in the shop, just sent in today for re-stringing. Well, once again, it took only a month for the string to snap, hopefully this time it'll last longer.

Clear Screen at LAST!!!

It's been almost a month since I send in my AGP card for repair. After rushing them time and time again, not to mention having to make 3 trips to Lowyat for it, they gladly got rid of me. Of course we were suffering with bad screen quality for the pass month, so much so I think my eyes went bad.

There you have it, the darn card that made my power went up from 100-150.


Geesh, actually part of it was due to my mistake too, as you will be able to decipher from my previous posts. Wow, the screen is so clear now I'm finding problem adjusting to it.

The weather today is much cooler, but due to the haze, my mood hasn't change much, just abit more composed. By the way, while walking back from Lowyat, I witnessed an old man doing some TaiChi moves. That stimulated my mind to think abit, gosh, the sight of people doing kungfu moves really frightens me. Come on, you might say that it is a form of exercise, blah blah yada yada and some might say it's for self defense yada yada blah blah but HEI! To me, it's just pure nonsense. We wouldn't have to protect ourselves if in the first place fighting wasn't invented wasn't it?? So in short, all the self defense is just crap, there wouldn't be any fighting if it wasn't invented.

Talking about self defense, the first person that comes to my mind is Bruce Lee. That makes me think again, why in the world the devil wanted his life so much?? So, I did some info digging and came out with my own conclusion. Ever wondered why old time kung fu masters could jump like 4 stories high and executing some out of this world moves. Come on, don't tell me those kung fu movie directors got their ideas from their own imagination!!! There must be some element of truth in it. Yeah it's true, those kung fu masters were that good last time, but anyone ever wondered how they get those powers from?? NO?? Guessed it, so let me try and paint you a picture of what's happening in my mind now. Their powers comes from supernatural forces, spiritual, that's why they have to meditate countless hours without water and food and of course they have to go through rituals, you know, becoming a monk, baby sacrifices or so forth. Of course they were looking to the other side for powers, looking to the devils of course!! AHAHAHAHHAHA

By the way, back to the Bruce Lee story. Hrm, most likely his ancestors made a deal with the devil, so that they might get supernatural powers but in order had to yield his future generations. Maybe that explains why every first born male in Bruce Lee's family always ends up dead. Food for thought eh??

Anyway, you can ignore what I just type, I am pure bored here, looking for something to type about and here's what I can conjure out at the moment. It just goes to show how much I don't like martial arts and all the self defense crap. My friend, a karate black belt holder once told me, to enter karate competitons, they will have to sign a document stating that they are willing to take injury even death risk. Yeah, he told me he even witness one of his friend bashed to death by a much stronger exponent. Self defense?? MY FOOT LAR!!! More like wasting money to put your life on the line for glory. Geesh, I cannot imagine sports that require one party to bash up his opponent can be counted as a legal sport! Not one I would get involved though.

Heat Heat and HEAT

You know, I really cannnot stand the simmering heat nowadays. It's effecting me in my daily walk, my mood, my emotions, all in all, the every aspect of my life!!! First of all, I can't find the correct mood to study, then I can't find the will to walk or go shopping, nor can I send my racquet for stringing. I feel it's effecting how I feel towards others, it's effecting how I communicate with others, gets me moody and rousy at times, heck I can't even see straight while playing futsal! No joke man, while playing just now, I couldn't even differenciate Neo from Philip and keep passing to the wrong guy. Well, Neo was wearing yellow pants and Philip, yellow shirt, oh sorry..it's the other way round!!! ARRGHH!!! I can't even remember what colour they are wearing!!!!

By the way, Kim has been very funny lately, that's why I call her Sushi Kim!! Hahaha, anyway you can view her blog if you want to find out more about her. She's been asking me alot of questions how to do this and that on her blog. Nice of her, and yeah, she can cook well too and she owes me lots of sushi!

I think my communication skills has dropped dramatically these pass few days. I don't seem to have to will to treat others nice, especially one dear to me. I can't act you know, if I feel that way, I'll be that way, but sad to say, I've been an actor, acting like everything's fine!! YEAH RITE!!! Almost everything is fine, but nothing is perfect. So for now, I'll just have to continue acting as usual(no morale for this paragraph)

My eyes are blurry now, my nose bleed just now after coming back from futsal, looks like my organs are boiling inside because of the heat. Anyhow, there's refuge in God. Thank God that He has restore much peace in my family, even though there was some issues with my sister the other day, but, I've learn to overlook it. Besides that, I'm enjoying my brothers very much, they are nice, really nice, as in, friendly just like me. Anyway, dad's down with fever and flu since yesterday, had to buy him 24 boxes of winter melon plus some pills to ease his constipation. He's much better today, gaining back his voice, but because of this we had to miss a makan session with Sean and Wife, well more like a gathering, to joke and yeah, my dad wanted to sing songs today. We'll just save it for next thursday.

Goodness me, berjayaclubs still isn't working

Cause for frustration and a strained relationship. BERJAYACLUBS!!!! Yeah, I'm receiving such message. I tried to ping the website, well it's responding, but when i try to open that page, aihhhh


There, result of the pinging, or whatever you call it lar. More like a Ping pong game, hit the ball to them, they respond by whacking it hard back on you. But in this case, too bad the ball that comes back is like a vision only, you can see it but it doesn't exist, wait it does, but you cannot hit the ball back. That is why you get the error message...somehow or the other, the opponent has managed to "jampi" the ball so much so you will not be able to touch it with your hands or hit it with the bat.

I wouldn't like to speculate, but most likely our opponent, in this case the berjayaclubs server, hired a "Bomoh", which I reckon is a network specialist(which I shall not disclose the name now), to jampi the ball, which would be the information sent by the server to our computer upon request, and thus making us miss it. That's when our mind starts playing tricks on us and then the ERROR message starts popping up. So take our mind as our browser and yeah, the error message, I don't have to repeat it, because I cannot find a suitable correlation for that part. By the way, this is just how I express my frusstration, WHACK THAT BLURDY BOMOH!!! Strangle her/him, most likely her, and force her to give us back the "Vision" and to remove that "Jampi".

All the bomoh and jampi talk reminded me of a joke my maths teacher told us once. Here it goes;

One day, in Perak, ulu-ulu area, a local magician went to entertain some dumb local people. They were so excited they started crowding around him and there was this poor little boy who couldn't see anything because of the big crowd. Everyone was induldged in excitement. The young boy was jumping up and down behind the crowd trying to get a glimps of the magician, but in vain. Frustrated, he spotted a coconut tree, climbbed up and witness the magic from there.

The magician took a young coconut out, covered it with his red cloth and started chanting some scriptures. He then dramatically pulled the red cloth away and everyone
from the crowd graspped with awe. The little boy was puzzled, to him, nothing happened.


At that point, our teacher paused and asked us a simple question, "Why do you think that boy didn't witness the magic??"

Of course all my classmates started to give their answers but none got it right. In the end, we persuaded our teacher to tell us and this is how she put it;

Aiyah, you all bodoh betul, so easy, that magician before pulling the cloth was "jampying" everyone in the crowd lar, jampi until they cannot see the coconut but he forgot there was a kid up on the coconut tree so he din jampi him lor.

Okay I really felt stupid at that time, such a simple answer yet nobody got it right. Well, it just goes to show that the older you get, the smarter and wiser you will become. That is one lesson we all have to learn, life is a learning process. Yes, I admit, I'm a boy filled with ego and self confidence, but by grace, I've notice this flaw and now praying hard to overcome such problem. Anyway, it's late now, time for me to sleep... good night everyone

Another Keyboard Busted

Yeah, thanks to some water, lots of it actually, my keyboard got fried. How the water slip in?? Don't ask me, the last person to use the computer is actually my sister who claims she didn't drink any water(can't judge for myself that part). Just take a look at it, constant hours of gaming by both my brothers and mostly my sister make that keyboard look so old!!!

Well, there's nothing I can do this time to save it, the water caused a short circuit in turn burnt the lines, in short, koyak lor. Well, I really found it hard to tell my dad, the first time my keyboard got burnt last year(not documented in this blog) my dad was really really enraged, he warned us about drinking near the computer but it seems my sister(yes it's she again) didn't take heed and left the cup of water there, the rest of the story, let your imagination fly lar.

So, since the keyboard got fried yesterday, and so happen I wasn't at home then, my sister left a note at the computer table, "How come some of the keys cannot type wan??"

Well, the first thing I did, switch on the computer and check on it. True enough, gila keyboard, doesn't give the letters I type. For example, if I were to type "a", the display will show that I've pressed the "tab" first then an "a" will appear on the screen. Oh yeah, most of the keys are not working. Next move, switch off the computer, take out my screw driver and operate on the keyboard. Upon disposing of the back lid, I found containment of water, lots of it inside. It shorted most of the lines and of course some burnt lines here and there. There's nothing I can do about it, so, re-assemble the keyboard back, and then wrote another note, "You poo poos, spill water on the keyboard of course cannot type lar! You better pay me for a new one!!!"

And as usual, my sister denied that she ever spill any water and again, she wasn't happy at all that she is the main subject. So, too bad lor, I pulak have to spend my own money to get another keyboard. This time, I've decided to go for a Logitech keyboard, black in colour. Why black? Well, the previous keyboard looked like an old junk with all the stain marks here and there. Here's how the new one looks like;


Yeah, nice eh? Actually, the main reason I paid extras for this is because of the "Guai Low" sales person. No, not that I respect the guai low or wat, it's just the way he presented this keyboard to me, I was impressed. Very friendly, very informative, cracking lame jokes here there, and yeah, "One year warranty if you were to get this!"

What a contrast to the other sales person whom approached at first. I was actually looking for a similar model to my previous keyboard, and I wanted it to be PS/2 connector. I found it but to my "horror" it only came in USB type connectors. So I asked him, "Do you have the PS/2 type?"....that fellah just answered, "Nola, out of stock and looked away"

Geesh, when I saw this black keyboard, I actually took a new box to inspect it, he came to me, "Don't open la, there got sample wat!"( I think he got use the word "please" but I don't care much, it's my impression of him )

Actually I just wanted to inspect before taking that particular one, but since he was so "kind" I actually decided to walk away until his guai low senior came over, "Yes sir, looking for a keyboard?? This is a very good one, and I can tell you, it will definately last longer than your PC which is good wont it??"

Nice way of introduction, he continued for a while and so that's it, purchased it. Well there were minor minor conversation in the middle that I've left out as I deem it, not important. The morale of the story is, if you want to sell stuff, make sure you know how to treat each and every customer. Not that I was like going get them a multi million deal or what, please do not misunderstand me, but don't you think that each and every customer, nomatter big or small should be given good treatment, nevertheless, they are still your source of income. By the way, thanks Wes for once again accompanying me today, he was actually looking for a mouse and found one too.

Interesting Day

Alright, back from quite a "HOT" weekend, I mean literal HOT! The weather was scorching, my mood was scorching, my temperature was rising! All in all, HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! Anyway, if I've accidentally hurt anyone or made anyone feel uncomfortable or something like that, please forgive me. Besides that, darn Berjayaclubs.com wasn't working when it was suppose to work!! Caused me some sleep and peace that day, I mean Saturday. Not that I'm complaining or what, I'm seriously beginning to have my doubts on berjayaclubs, come on, don't tell me your server don't like Friday and Sunday mornings and so, decides to "auto-shuts" itself, thus blocking us from booking courts!! Hrm maybe I lost my cool abit, really really lost it abit the other day. So once again, those who felt the "heat" please, once again forgive me and don't ask me why I was so hot that day okay?

Hrm, enough about the hot day, lets talk about TODAY! Slept about 2a.m. this morning, reading some stuff, chatting, and woke up at 5.30a.m! Huh, I was actually really really tired, but then, I couldn't resist the chance to go out with my dad, follow him for some field work and yeah, my dad actually paid me for it!! Not that I intended for it but hey, thank God. We actually went to the Petronas Twin Tower. Reached there at 6.30 to line up for tickets to the "SkyBridge". No, it wasn't for me, but well, it was for some other friends who was willing to pay us for lining up! YEAH!!!! Well, I really enjoyed sitting down there, reading my CS261 study guide, chat with my dad and so forth. I learn alot about India today, so happen this Indian national was there lining up for tickets too, he started talking to my dad and they were happily sharing about their own countries! HUH, didn't know that there are 16 different languages in India!!!! Wait! I'm not too sure now, was it 16 different tribes or languages?? Opps.....

Oh course we were the first at the line, so at 8.30, when the doors were opened, as usual(Malaysian culture) we had to wait an extra 15 minutes because the ticketing system was down. Oh yeah, can't do anything about it, it's not like the first time my dad and I have experienced such things, it's pretty common in Malaysia. So, we, being used to such delays, started joking with the staffs and yeah, they were pretty friendly towards us, giving us tickets without asking much.

After that, Dad took me to Burger King! ALRIGHT!!! My favourite burger outlet! Even before we reached there, I told my dad, "Dad, I'm talking the WHOOPER WITH CHEESE!"

My dad cooly replied, "Yau chai, I know lar....your favourite mar..."

Little did I know that it was abit too early for them to prepare burgers, and we had to be satisfied with breakfast meals. Well, couldn't complain much, it was pretty good! So we had our breakfast, chat abit, and nearly forgot that I was LATE FOR CLASS!!! So with that, I excused myself and zoooom off to college.

Okay, late again for class, this time, 15 minutes late. I was pretty surprised, everyone was so quiet today sitting down nicely, answering some questions projected on the white board. As usual, greeted the lecturer and picked a spot to sit. She immediately approached me, "Take out a piece of paper, do the questions. It's a test."

WHAT!!! A TEST!!! I've gotto admit, I didn't even STUDY!!! Thank God I acted as though it was nothing, took a piece of paper out, and started writting. Heck, I really didn't know if I would be able to do it! It was only the second class I've attended for this subject and now we have a test?? On chapter 5!!! So, behind the the cool outlook, I was shivering inside, yeah I was really scared! What more, she told us that marks for this test might be used for the finals! Huh, was put in a spot now, I didn't even dare to look at the questions. Well, at that moment I thought, might as well do it lar, GOD!! HELP!!!

So I started scribbling some answers, drew some diagrams and passed up the paper, 5 questions, 1 piece of paper, 2 pages, that's it! After that, I went down for a drink and came back up with a bunch of friends. She saw me, "Jacob, not bad, your second class and you scored very very high!"

WAH!!!! This time really God's grace!! HAHAHAHA I really couldn't believe my eyes that I've got 35/50!!!! After that, she continued the class, but I was so tired, nothing entered my head. Had a short chat with Ian about our project and then headed home. Switch on my computer to play for a while when Wesley called and we started joking at laughing on the phone, making some fun bets and so forth. Okay Wes, I've gotto admit, I was half awake when you pull that challenge out, I guess I'll have to spend you cendol next week. Yeah, that's the price of the bet, cendol. Anyway, we are just taking it as fun matter and chance for us to spend one another, no real bets here. But by the way, I still hope can I win this time......it'l be more fun that way!

Newly Wed Couple

Alright! Just came back from a wedding function in church today, Eric and Karen! AT LAST!!! They are now officially proclaimed, King and Queen of BAK KUT TEH!! Hrrmmmm I wasn't really sure if Snoopy(Karen) would like that title so when we congratulated her, I just mentioned, "And now you are officially called, AUNTY". Of course she gave me that "look" but it's okay, ignore it. Next up, Eric, oh yeah, went up to him, shook his hands, leaned forward and whispered to his ears..."Did you prepare BKT?? 7th floor??," he just burst out in laughter and exclaimed, "YAU CHAI!"

Okay, here I provide you with a picture of the happy couple, and need not to say that on the left is Snoopy and on the right is Eric. Sorry some technical glitch made me type wrong things.


As you can see, there's joy filling their faces. I wasn't sure he was that relaxed when he was asked, "Do you, Eric, take this women as your lawfull wedded wife, to...........(can't remember)". Someone should have used a stopwatch to monitor the time taken for his brain to analyse the answer.

Well one thing for sure, by God's grace, their marriage will be a happy one! And yes, we friends of his/her are happy too!!! In fact, we were anticipating for it to happen much earlier, but nevertheless, better practice late than never. By the way, good job on the food man! LOVED IT!! Well, it's a well known amongs our friends, if you want get married, prepare the FOOD!!!! And yes, this picture is taken during the luncheon. So if anyone of you would like to get married soon, don't forget the food.

This is a picture of my computer area, kinda blur don't you think so? Hrmm, it sort of gives you a view of my vision now, blurry, yes I'm very blur now, why? It's 3a.m.! COME ON!

Yesterday(Friday) is a very interesting day for me. It started in the morning, 12.30a.m onwards, was online, couldn't do the usual online booking because of server problems at the other side, so we chat, in a group, Philip, Jesudas, Philemon, Jason and I. Topic of discussion for the day? They were trying to find out who Jason like. Of course, being bored waiting I join in the search too (pretty childish eh?) and of course we named one girl after the other but none seems to click. Jason was kind enough to post up clue in his blog, but once again, his clue is quite useless. So any of you having ideas of who he likes can drop a comment at the chat box.

I really cannot remember what time it is but in the end, I decided to giveup the search (wasn't really interested from the start) and well, gave him abit of advice. Here goes the advice;

Okay maybe its abit too early for me to advice people about all these stuff so on blah blah, but maybe after reading Wesley's blog, I'll give a piece of my mind. Oh yeah whoever who is reading this, NOTE: this message is the actual conversation that went on between us. If any of you feel that I am revealing too much private information, which I am not, message me, I will gladly delete this post(yeah right!). Okay, started with, if you like a girl, might as well just go up to her and ask her to check for your chances! No point delaying and suffering inside (is that what we told Jason?).

Next point, the answer can only be YES or NO! AHA!!! True right?? Of course lar, donkey also can decipher this. So that's basically what we told Jason! Good advice? Surely hope so. Anyway that's how it should go like lar, in my dictionary, no such thing as dili dali(is that how you spell it?). Of course sometimes circumstances and situation will force the delay. Well rather not dwell in such topic.

Hrmmm, sorry guys, cannot really type much about all these things, you know, lack of experience, no time to bother about your little, guess who I like game. Might as well bother about myself more and also my close buddies. Hrmm talking about close buddies, nevermind, I shall respect them and not disclose anything at all about them. And by the way, I seriously suck at such things, ask people around me, they'll know.

Alright, fun part is over, not so fun after all eh? Lets talk about what happened yesterday. Went out branch (breakfast plus lunch) with Wesley who so willingly drove me to Midvalley for McDonalds. After that, his craving for cendol started again and we walked like, 10 minutes?? In search of a cendol stall. No cendol stall was found around Brickfields area so we went to KL Sentral food court. I doubted the quality that can be served from that food court, but Wes replied, "NEVERMIND!! I just want to have some cendol!" hehehe pretty enthusiastic. I think it was the worst cendol I've ever tasted. The preparation itself, terrible! Immagine, scooping lots of canned santan into a bowl, mix with some dried cendol which looked like it was cold stored for ages, blend some ice into the bowl and mix with black sugar water!!!!

Aiyohhhhh, the taste?? TOO CREAMY!!! TOO THICK!!!! CENDOL SUCKS!!!!! And of course, a slight stomach upset after that.

Hrm, for the first time in months, I finally decided to order something from RA, do some QC test. Ordered the curry laksa and well, I wouldn't want to disclose the result of my testing tongue. Had another burger after the laksa and took in LOTS OF water. As usual, go home abit dissapointed with the....well with things lar but of course I enjoyed the company of people like Philip, Jesudas, Wesley, MOSES!!!, Neo, and a few others. Well if I've missed anyone, please forgive me, you can message me and I'll add it in later.

By the way, it is 3.31a.m now and suddenly I receive an instant message, looks like everyone missing something, somebody. Okay let's put a few examples:

(Timothy) timo - Miss my chilli..(How come suddenly everbdy miss somebody now?)

(Wesley) Missed my dy dy, bee bee, blur blur, lenne lenne, babi, JJ, carrie, lidie, huey huey & etc.. Jesudas, SHADDAP!.. - wEs

(Jesudas) Mamy poko® :- Miss my Goals!!

(Elizabeth) : :eLisIpUt: :HomE d...miss HomE ...hehe..

(Philemon) « … Drypers® … -I Miss u Dear!!! ----> Boink!!!...

(Philip) petpet® -- I miss u baby girl!!! ---> meowwwww!!

and last but not least.. ME! J@c08~Miss u Dear, Bear ..whatever!~http://jacobtan.blogspot.com

Alrite, maybe I'll explain abit why the "Dear" and "Bear". Okay it happened like this; I was in a monorail one day, alone when this couple started hugging infront of me calling each other "Dear". I was like, YUCKS! Don't do it in public lar! Do it in private, keep our Malaysian image clean! Anyway, back to the topic, so in my mind, "dear" starts with a "d", so just mirror the d and you'll get a "b" so in turn, "dear" will turn to "bear", which in my opinion, is pretty cute!!! So you guys/girls out there, here's the new term, BEAR!! Of course it can signify many other things. It's common knowledge that grizzly bears are pretty fierce, especially female ones! Yeah, there you go, my conclusion. Not only that, they can be pretty stubborn too, but at times shy like nobody's business. Anyway, I'm not refering to any particular individual here, or maybe I am? Sometimes simple discription can be so usefull.

By the way, I really cannot understand why the "miss you" bug. Good luck guys...

A Futsal Friendly

HUH! Back from a great game of futsal, and boy oh boy was it TOUGH!!!!...My goodness the young ones are improving so fast. There you go, the winning team. as you can perceive, we are all wearing BLUE, why blue? Don't ask me, it was decided by Danl (front row, middle). Alrite, lets introduce our team today, from the bottom left, Justus, Daniel, Timothy, and the top left, Philip and me. Positions? We are all utility players but defending is done mostly by Justus and I, whereas Timothy is more like an all out striker, even though he did much better in defense during the second half, Philip and Daniel? Run like crazy lor, up down left right!!!

Cannot really remember the exact score, but one thing for sure, all of us scored an average of 2-3 goals. Hrm....maybe Daniel and Timo scored more, cannot really remember.

Okay enough about our team, lets talk about our opposition team.

Light hearted as usual, here you go, the team that gave us such a tough fight! Lets start by introducing the fantastic 5, why fantastic?? Because the outran and outlasted us oldies. So, captain of the day, Mr. Mark Sebastion Veron, the one lying down on the floor holding the ball and resting it on another ball(s). I think he's just trying to protect that part, some unwanted things happened just now. Okay, members, from the left, Matthew, Philemon(with the FILA shirt), Daniel, and last but not least, the one standing, and yes he's shirt is inside out, no other than the gay of their team, Jesudas! Oh yeah, by the way, we just found out that Jesudas's butt is actually white in colour, that's his claim.

Okay lets talk about the game, the young guns started brightly, running with great pace and scoring the first 2 goals. But then again, the oldies prove that experience plays a vital role in futsal, pounced back with some tactical movement and quick strikes to equal the game. Not that the oldies were slow, we were just tired, lacking in stamina, having excess here and there, you should know lar. Anyway, by half time (which was called because most of the oldies were just too tired to run anymore) the oldies were leading by 9 goals to 6. After the break, the oldies slowed down the pace and once again was outrunned by the more vibrant young guns. So in the end, we lost count of the score but one thing is for sure, the oldies did it again! There wasn't much of a highlight this game, but after the game, Mark was telling us about his little incident that almost cost him his future. It seems he was hit by the ball at his private part and he was demonstrating how he could keep running and only felt the pain 5-10 seconds later! As usual, we being as naughty as ever tried to recollect what happen and thus this picture came to being;


Alright, this is not what happened, it's just to demonstrate the position of the ball. In actual fact, Mark just used his balls to block the ball flying from the foot of our dear friend Justus. Hrm, let your imagination fly abit, I really wonder how he had endure the pain...as it is a natural fact that a futsal ball is smaller but heavier thus producing much more force upon impact. And no, we did not check his.... you know but I do believe he should have it checked.................

Malaysian Firefighters.

Manage to get a shot of 2 firemen in action. Well sorry guys, suppose to be typing more but then I have one brother by the name of HoBiOne-KenoPui and a sister named munehneh wanting to use the computer....will edit this later and file my thoughts in....

Aha! The time is now! Alrite, from that picture you will find 2 firemen hanging up on a crane, shooting out water to try and control the fire that started from a short circuit in a shop. Of course that is mere speculation and might not be the truth. And that stimulated my memory. It was just last month the papers published an article, stating that our Malaysian firefighters and resque workers are one of the most efficient and can be compared to the best in the world! Of course as a Malaysian I would definately be proud. I'm sure many of you would wonder how those HUGE firetrucks, or ambulance can ever zip through hell of a jam welcoming you at every corner and every highway near KL. Skill some call it? Oh yeah!! That's why they are one of the best in the world! Well those huge trucks are well equiped with horns, bulldozing their way through the countless numbers of cars, oh I'm very very sorry, what I meant is, they are well equiped with sirens that causes our friendly Malaysian drivers to start cramping around making way for those bullies, I mean trucks. Hrmm..and it makes me wonder again, why in the world would some jokers light a fire of all times, really really pack hours??

Man I'm not talking through my nose, I'm SERIOUS! For the pass month or so, there's been 2 cases near my house and yeah, both of them happened at about 5-6p.m., times of mad jams and silly traffic policemen doing their utmost to somehow cause more jams. Hrm, I felt pretty worried for the 2 heroes hanging up there. The crane don't look like they can support 2 huge, I mean muscular firemen. Hrm, looks dangerous for "The best" in the world don't they?? Well, we'll have to salute them, the shop took minimal damage from the outside of course, haven't really scout the area where they were struggling to put out the fire from.

Okay, enough with the fire, lets talk about our traffic policemen. Hrm, lets just say most of them are under orders to direct traffic.

"Make sure Jln. Bangsar no jam arr!!"

"Ok sir, jangan takut!"

And the end result, clear road for Jln Bangsar and of course, jam packed roads through Brickfields which so happen, is where I stay. Sometimes I really do think they are sleeping, sorry but that's just my upright opinion. Cars parking on yellow lines, causing some avoidable jams, shit man just give them a ticket lar!! KAUTIM!!! Worst, police station is just walking distance from that area which I am talking about. Okay, that previous line was just to crap abit, release some tension, and of course, if any police officer reading this, please...please....please!!! Clear those cars....area?? Brickfields...where?? KFC there lor...aiyah lazy to go find out the name of that road.

By the way, there's no moral for this post, just to congratulate our Malaysian Firefighters and Traffic policemen for the good job they've been doing. The country wouldn't be safe without them....

Boston, Klang

Alright, here goes, I actually visited this place about 2 weeks back. If you can recall the post where I was throwing out excuses for the lost in Hattrick, one of the reason is because I went for makan! Yeah, that place is called "Boston" and situated in Klang. And if you guys have been reading this blog, you'll understand that there were quite a number of us there, not that I'm close to them or what but they're just friends from oversea. Pretty simply setting, with tables stretching across the road, nice food, noisy enviroment, tempting BKT stall opposite the main road, yeah that sums it all.

Aha, mummy's expression says it all! This time around, we waited for nearly 45 minutes for the food to be served. Hrmm, of course all of us showed some funny expression but somehow or another, mummy had the best of all. Oh yeah, if you want to know how I looked like?? My face expression was just like my mom's. Usually if we are with the group of really close friends, maybe such "face" would not surface , but......

Okay here goes all the food........

Oh shit, sorry about this, the first 2 dishes was just overwhelming that I forgot to document it!




Here you go, visual evidence of the food. I feel very lazy now to describe in detail every single dish we had. Okay, the mee(s) were good, Hokkien mee, this mee that mee, I think we had about 3 dishes of assorted mee(s). The best part of em all is always the "Lala". Steamed with some vinegar, wine, ginger, fried onions, please don't trust my crap, I don't even know what they put inside but it tastes GREAT!!!! Oh the final dish is the pork, err..deep fried pork I guess. Anyway, great visit....hope to be there again.....
