condolences too all the victims, and family and friends of victims of
the big quake that hit all parts of Asia, malaysia included. it's a pain to hear so many lost their lives in this tragic event.. an event which there is none to blame, so bush cant decide to invade another country for it. unless he decides indonesia caused the earthquake just cause its there, and starts bombing em. ok.. drifting off.. so back to the topic.
how did you feel and where were u when it happened? i was in sheffield, of course... and u can safely assume i was DOTA-ing at the time the quake before. no one told me about it, and i had to find out like... 16 hours later online. which gave quite a surge of panic, really. i know my parents were in penang just the night before, and if such things happens, u'd normally assume they'd call u to keh-poh about it, no? so i txt home... and ended up getting screwed by my mum for waking her up. bleh. everyone else in penang? some friends.. i just cant keep in touch.. one girl even stayed near the beach at ferringhi... and i havent heard from her yet. others... most of them are pigs, basicly.. they slept thru the whole entire ordeal.... even those in apartments.. when neighbours ran out of the place, and they just went ZzZzZz.
well, i guess thats so much for holidays on beach resorts. phuket, langkawi and pangkor shall be permanently striken off my list of resorts to chill at... and besides.. theres always ibiza and formentera. so... what else can i say.... oh yea.. screw u mother nature. ta.

okok, heres a quick update on whats been up in the past few weeks. was in prague. was quite fun. decided never to fly from leeds again. i hate planes. strong winds and planes dont mix. ciggies and alcohol is cheap in prague. food is cheap in prague. cheap food doesnt mean saving money. cheap food means eating more. always buy subway tickets. watch out for pickpockets. casinos suck. throat hurts. merry christmas.

u know.. life is full of unanswered questions.... some which are downright mindboggling. so heres some random thoughts of the day.
Why do they say "an alarm going off," if it is really going on?
Why do mattresses have designs on them when they're always covered with sheets?
How come toy hippos are always blue, or purple, when real hippos are brown?
You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?
Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
Why is it called a "building" when it is already built?
so i guess thats enough to keep you thinking for the day. ta.

The Phantom of the Opera is such a great film. while i have never found myself to be a musical aficianado (probably because of my lack of going to theaters), but i have had my share of enjoyment of musicals, starting from the sound of music and oliver twist, right down to moulin rouge, and now, this. now, im just so desperate to rush down to london to watch phantom in the theaters, or maybe lion king or something. and not to mention emmy rossum is just HOT! i already fancied her a little since The Day After Tomorrow, but this show with her just blows me off. and shes just 18... yummy.. haha, sounding like a paedophile now.
well, aside that aspect, the show is still great, although im sure the majority will tend to sleep as soon as it starts. makes u wonder sometimes, what if the world actually spoke in songs? ok, that would be quite bad and help make it rain daily, but how about speaking in riddles instead? i do think it should be quite fun. although u probably need quite a high degree of... erm.. creativity to do that. like those rap singers, and them able to rhyme just like that. cool thought, huh?

ok, this post of mine should sound relatively stable, but my blood is choked with alcohol right now, so i can't promise nothing. why? well then, christmas is coming up soon, so my and mua housemates figured we host a christmas party of sorts. basicly, its just pure drinking and drinking, with some gift exchanging involved. the verdict? it was a slow start, with crowd coming in 2 hours AFTER the fuicking start time (malaysians and their stupid annoying timing), but who cares? endless flow of alcohol, and a bottle of absenta tunel (a variation of absinth a.k.a green faerie) was more than enough to fuel several very memorable moments that night. the only disappointment, was the juniors, or the lack thereof them. three cheers to yee wan, e wern, and some guys whose name i dont know... for at least dropping by.
so end result? 1-2 shots of absenta was enough to fuel everyone into a drunken stuporr, and made the night very fun. so now my head thumps and hurts, and im off to bed. ta

so, if the atmosphere in anfield wasnt enough to quench my thirsty soul, i took a chance to dance and play along with my housemates, and take a visit to downtown manchester, to the stadium of the worse scums of the earth, the manks. although i am a scouser, i try to go there with an open heart.. but well, all other scousers out there, if u think u wanna go trafford just for the experience, don't! why? well, here we go...
thanks to my reluctance in goin, we overspent some time drinking mocha and latte in starbuck, resulting in a late rush to old trafford, which includes getting cramped up like sardines in the tram to trafford, and suffering someones "silent but deadly" gas attack, the worse of its kind. so, we got there late. so we got in after the game started. so we missed the goal (big deal, who wanna see manks score anyway, even if its against gunners). but the atmosphere... was pure crap.
so what can i conclude about manks?
1. manks are probably the lowliest fans one can ever have. i mean, think about it, at anfield, it was all about Liverpool and its glory, the managers and the players. trafford? their songs are mainly regarding bloody and disgusting killing scousers, killing city fans, killing leeds fans, and tormenting everyone with bad songs. which explain why manchester has so many serial killers anyway. and lets not forget insultive. while i am not against calling wenger a paedophile, or saying viera and wenger sleeps together, but for crying out loud, cant u actually sing about ur players instead of insulting others? but of course, if u got no quality, then what can u sing?
2. manks are a vulgar bunch of people. every song they sing, every sentence they speak, has to contain a "fuck" and a "bastard" the LEAST. hell, they cant make up any lyrics without explatives. its like they're eminem wannabes with bad lyrics and even lousier voices, and no tune.
3. manks have this obsession over Eric Cantona. like i said previously, they never sing anything about current players (maybe a single solkjear tune), but the worship Cantona like god. well, yea.. he's good, but for god's sake, HE'S GONE! get over it! u aint gonna be hoping he'd haul his ass back from whereever he is just because all u want for christmas is 10 eric cantonas. face it, and face life without cantona and trophies, because thats all thats awaiting u.
4. manks have no passion. in anfield, the whole stadiums roars to life the moment they announce the starting lineup, all the way to the final whistle. trafford? one singular upper tier can be heard vainly trying to sing, while the others just sit and stone, and shout "awww" when the manks miss a goal. or let one in. theres no passion in it, no heart. no unification whatsoever.
so what can i say? ill have to be having a 5 hour of anfield videos marathon just to clean myself of the disgust of stepping foot into trafford, and nights to actually forget the horrors of being burned at the bonfire by manks. so my advise to all u scoursers out there, avoid trafford like plague. unless liverpool is playing away there. coz we'll shut em up. won't we?

after looking back at my photos of my past few years of my life, i actually am missing my long hair. yes, everyone complains about it. yes, everyone says its ugly. yes, everyone thinks i look like some sissy. but still, there's this sense of nostalgia whenever i see myself with long hair. and truthfully, i wouldnt mind seeing myself with long hair again either. if only hair took like, 1 month to grow to such lengths, wouldnt life be perfect? its just so easy to make short hair, and yet impossible to maintain long hair. dumb logic, how our bodies work. our brains shld have a button which goes "beep! long hair mode selected. hair set to : 15 cm lenght". that would be cool, wouldnt it? haha, and while im going thru this wishful thinking moment, i'd throw in a "beep! reducing weight by 15 Kgs" mode and a "beep! increasing muscle ratio by 100%" button as well. yes, just wishful thinking. but it wouldnt hurt to dream, right?
