NIIICCEEE!!! It's a self-made, DIY car body artwork. Made it using my car, a cement divider, and a pinch of ignorance. This should not be confused with being unintelligent [1].

I was coming out from the basement parking of my factory and I did not see the divider. It was quite low. I turned the wheels more than the usual (alah... orang cakap kalau nak kena tu memang camtu la benda tak dijangka kan?).

My friend was like "Oi oit oit..." and SCREECCCHHHH!!! an amazing, one-of-a-kind artwork was made. Luckily, this improves the aerodynamics of the car and it help raised the maximum speed to around 10-15km/h with the same acceleration as before. I'm thinking of making a new one on the right side to double that amount.

Just wait until my "Boss" finds out about this AHAHAHA.

Another X.

Went to Jusco Bandar Mahkota Cheras yesterday. It was it's grand opening day. The place was swarmed with humans I'll have to wait a few minutes just to get through it's main door. Guess where I headed first? The Jusco's playland.

From far away I can see Taiko no Tatsujin machine version 9. And I saw another machine I like. A DDR X machine. The last time I saw a DDR X was at Jusco Midvalley Megamall. A few kids were playing it. I wanted to play it but then I realized I did not changed my shoes and still wearing my leather office shoes. I left my trainer and also my sweat towel in my car which I parked quite far away. Blergh!! How could I forget the basic.

But then I realized if I played DDR yesterday, the clown which were making balloon arts surrounded by kids and adults probably will get jealous because everyone will be busy watching me with my amazing footworks AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

No worry I'll be there on Friday at 1030am. And it will be my DDR hangout place during off and rest days. I play DDR Supernova on working days at Jusco AU2 FYI.

Pengalaman Yang Sungguh Menakutkan.

2010-04-27T22:33:00.004+08:00

Semalam nak balik lepas punch out pukul 7pm macam biasa la pergi ke parking lot. Sekali tengok bas kilang dah block sama itu depan kereta saya lalu mencarut-carut di dalam hatiku ini kerana terpaksa menunggu bas itu jalan dalam tempoh 10 minit. Jadi lepak la dulu dalam kereta kejap. Selalu masa pulang hantar member baik kat opis dulu pulang :wink::wink: WAHAHAHA tapi nasib baik semalam telepon dia sudah kong jadi saya tak kisah la dia nak balik macam mana pun.

Tapi cuaca agak panas maka terdetik la niat nak start enjin pasang air-cond semua. Sekali bila pulas je kunci kereta tanak start. ADOYAI! Battery flat. Maka mencarut-carutla saya sekuat di dalam hati. Telepon la member sama program nasib baik dia baru je lepas main gate dan dia buat U-turn.

Itupun kena tunggu semua bas-bas kilang jalan baru dia bole park dekat untuk buat jumpstart. Keta saya ada 2 set kabel jumpstart sebab selalu sangat tolong jumpstart kereta orang dan juga kereta kebal askar yang rosak di tepi jalan. Tapi hari semalam, battery kereta saya decided untuk memelatkan dirinya. Semasa nak jumpstart itu, dapatlah saya menerangkan kepada kawan saya itu tentang:

(1)kepentingan adanya cable jumpstart disediakan dalam kereta.

(2)kemachoan sekiranya dapat menolong mengejumpsetatkan kereta yang rosak ditepi jalan

(3)cara-cara meletakkan crocodile clips wayar jumpstart itu

(4)cara membezakan warna merah dan hitam sekiranya anda seorang yang rabun warna

(5)kepentingan menukar batteri

(6)kepentingan membantu member yang memerlukan jumpstart

Semuanya diterangkan atas niat membodek dan berterima kasih atas belas ikhsannya.

Setelah berjaya dihidupkan, member saya pun pulang tergesa-gesa untuk makan nasi bersama familinya almaklumlah 1st gaji lambat lagi nak masuk.

Jadi saya tengok kereta saya itu sangatla menyedihkan. Bila engine dalam keadaan idle, ia tersengguk-sengguk dan hampir-hampir mati dan saya terpaksa menekan minyak agar putaran engine itu agak tinggi dan tak mati. Dalam hati saya hanya ada satu equation; Mati engine = tabley start. Itu adalah sungguh menakutkan.

Kemudian saya keluar dan pusing-pusing area AU2 Keramat itu untuk melihat keadaan engine. Memang takbley start sekiranya engine saya mati. Setiap kali nak berhenti, saya cepat-cepat tukar ke gear neutral, N - automatic transmission dan menekan pedal minyak. Tapi bila dah tekan pedal minyak, tabley plak nak tekan brek. Dan koordinasi otak saya adalah tidak stabil untuk menggunakan kaki kiri untuk menekan brek dan kaki kanan untuk menekan minyak. Jadi saya guna handbrake aja. Bayangkan setiap kali nak berhenti kena tukar gear neutral, kena tekan minyak, dan tarik handbrake. Kalau saya tekan minyak dulu mau langgar terus kereta depan. Atau saya terus brake dan engine mati.

Kenapa saya tamau engine mati? Sebab saya akan melalui MRR2. Satu rule jalan ini ialah, asal ada rosak je kereta ditepi atau ditengah jalan, jalan akan jadi jam 13-23 km. Ia adalah suatu perkara yang sangat HINA! iaitu kereta rosak di MRR2. Tak kirala anda pakai Porsche Cayenne ka, kereta peronda helang ka, atau pun anda anak kandung Perdana Menteri Burkina Faso ka, ia memang satu perkara yang sangat memalukan.

Tapi berkat doa dan usaha tangga kejayaan saya, saya berjaya sampai ke rumah. Lampu dari headlights pun segan-segan je terangnya macam pakai lilin la pulak. Bila turn off ja engine, dan cuba nak idupkan balik, memang tidak berjaya. Bersyukur la jugak engine tak mati.

Jadi hari ini boss saya antar dan amik saya dan tolong tukar battery baru. Nak tukar sendiri tak mampu hehehhehehehehehe

Eye of The Tiger (For The Tiger Blogfest 2010)

The tiger is our national animal. Our heritage. But today only less than 500 of them remain in the wild. As Malaysians, we need to stand up and protect our heritage. Speak to your children. Speak to your leaders. Everyone of us can make a difference.

ROAAARRRR!!! (For The Tiger Blogfest 2010)

2010-04-19T05:00:00.000+08:00

Hey, this is my post for the Tiger Blogfest 2010. Since I just started to work, I tried to find some free time to write this. So, then I thought writing an entry about the tigers would be easy. I thought it would be easy as composing a karangan UPSR entitled "Haiwan Peliharaan Saya", which I just put the tiger as my pet. It's not.

Tiger, an animal so unique it always been related as a symbol of bravery. You can see the tiger almost everywhere here in Malaysia, The National Emblem and Coats of Arms of Malaysia, the Royal Malaysian Police logo, military regiments logo (Grup Gerak Khas aka the green beret for example), the tiger head on Proton Waja, Maybank's logo, Esso, Biskut Tiger Susu, yada yada yada. Yeah, you can see the tiger everyday in your life. The question is, have you seen the real tiger?

Well the easiest way to see a tiger is to cough up 20 or more Ringgit at Zoo Negara. At Zoo Negara you can see a few tigers and other animals. Unfortunately, going to the zoo isn't always fun as there are other BINATANG throwing kacang and kayu to the animals. Trying to be cool in front of their aweks. Bolow punya olang!

Last time I went there, I was so lucky to have one of the tiger swimming just INCHES away from me. I even captured a video of the event.

The tiger liked me and if anyone wondering, I still have my body parts intact. No news about the Arab guy next to me though~

Tiger is a magnificent animal. A tiger cub can be very cute and cuddly. Unfortunately, things can be always be cute as an adult tiger can be very dangerous. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop the poachers from killing them. Tigers are killed for their eyes, hair, organs and their penis for the unproven medical values. Some believe eating tiger brain can even cure pimples and laziness [1]. Wow, imagine a bowl of Sup Torpedo Rimau. I'm not sure whether it can help you make a nice Sarong or blanket tent in the morning without the use of wood or tent frame if you know what I mean WAHAHAHAHA!

The poachers contribute a lot in decreasing the number of tigers in the wild. The wilderness is now not a safe place for the tigers. If I'm a tiger, I'll choose the zoo to live without fear. But living in zoo is like living in someone else's home with a lot of people watching you doing stuff. Why don't you let me live in my own jungle without fear.

Yes, I am employed. Syarikat Thee Ai Sdn Bhd. It's not the company real name. It's a homophone for a hint. After 127 days since the graduation date and numerous job applications. There are company(ies) that hires supermutant and superhero.

Let's contribute. And on the first day itself, I have contributed myself to the massive traffic jam in MRR2. The morning rush. Thought of avoiding jobs which requires me to travel to the usually-reported routes with traffic jams before but, wth, it's Kay-Ell.

Withdrawing my applications on jobseeker's websites. No more Facebook, Mafia Wars and Farmville during the day.

Hardwork! Progress! A Beautiful Star!

FAIYA!!! FAIYA!!!

Spock and Spock.

While watching Star Trek (2009) last night, the light in my room suddenly became blinking-ly dimmed and my voltage regulator for my PC became unstable. My head started to construct offensive word for TNB for the bad quality of electrical supply for the night. It became worst and I quickly starting to switch it off. But failed at the last minute where the PC hanged due to the lack of power. But there was no blackout. Only surges.

Then I heard weird sounds from outside and I quickly ran to the living room and from there I saw fire burning the tomyam restaurant just across the street. Warning: Karangan Kebakaran di Rumah Saya after the jump.

So I yelled хумхаа євчин! хумхаа євчин! which means FIRE in Mongolian. My after who was relaxing on the bad jumped in shocked and hanged to the ceiling LOL. I went out and saw neighbors running towards the fire. Due to my competitive nature, I beat them all in the run. Unfortunately, I wasn't the first to be there.

The fire was quickly-spread and fierce. Since next to the restaurant is a kedai santan, the coconut husks and dried copras helped the fire to spread quickly. Everyone was running everywhere when the electric cabel started to explode.

Only managed to snap off few pictures after the fire. That was only the second time I went out. The first time was during the fire which I was busy saving other people lives. I'm more interested with the firetrucks. It's like a Swiss Army knife. It's red and have everything in it. Like in the picture, a tall spotlight was raised from INSIDE the truck. What else the truck have? A bottle opener? An 8GB USB thumbdrive? Ogawa Massager?

I did not bring my camera to capture the event because I'm thinking of other important matters such as being the first person to be on the scene and urmmm... saving lives? I'm a superhero bebeh! I went there only with my sarong and without any secondary protective layer of undergarment to protect my man-thing from outside interference. OMG what am I thinking? I can probably got raped last night!

The firemen came like after the fire spread all over the shop. It was not one firetruck arrived. And it wasn't two either. In fact there were 3 firetrucks and one tanker came. Hell, the must have nothing to do that night so they all decided to come to their favorite breakfast spot. After they've extinguished the fire I went home, continuing Star Trek. But then, it went blackout. I went out again with my phone to capture what's left. Should brought my digicam but I don't want to look like someone who enjoy taking pictures of someone else's misfortune. The electricity was cut off to allow the TNB guy to disable the wiring to the restaurant.

A job which is comparable with being a celebrity. Who have your time in the spotlight and everyone was watching to what you're doing.

Yes, the restaurant is famous. At night and especially in the morning where they served Kelantanese breakfast of Nasi Dagang, Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Putih, Nasi Lemak, and Kelantanese delicacies. I even bought breakfast yesterday morning since it's the nearest consumable nasi lemak I have. And about the special treatment from the firemen, they usually had breakfast there. It's weird seing a firetruck in front of a restaurant in the morning and saw firemen in their suits having their breakfast there.

And yes the restaurant is really famous the neighbourhood had to deal with the massive traffic caused by their customer.

From what I heard, foul play is suspected in the fire. Winona Ryder looks really ogly (old and ugly) in Star Trek.

Happy Feet!

That was probably the two oldest players the machine had for the day.

Like this was the first time I went out with friends, playing DDR together HAHA! Usually I just played alone because either I just came alone or the friend(s) following me does not play DDR. But yesterday, I went out with everyone who have interest in DDR so it was enjoyable. Cincai playing of an 8-footer Sakura. The shoes were quite slippery. Going to train hard for a 10-footer this week.

Avatar 2 Trailer!!!!!!!! (one exclamation mark will not be enough)

OMG! I really want to see it in 3D on the first day that I will start to camp outside the movie theater tonight. At KLCC. Who wants to follow? We'll start a fellowship. And yes, I will take the ring hahah!

2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Was Hot!

2010-03-22T23:16:00.002+08:00

Reached the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta about 1130am Sunday morning and only 3 hot air balloons were there to take all the excited kids and adults to the sky~ There were no Darth Vader balloon or other interesting balloons that were mentioned in the newspaper.

The weather was so hot. It was so hot I'm almost as dried as ikan masin. Thankfully there was no rice and sambal belacan to go with it. The hotness was generated by the millions of cars coming to the fiesta that morning. The cursing from the guests who had to park their car far from the event added the hotness.

It's an event with only 3 hot air balloons and people showing off with their DSLR cameras. From standard one students to the senior citizens were holding a black DSLR. Unfortunately, the quality of the pictures taken were questionable. I do know the principle of amateur photographers; It's not about the quality or creativity of the picture, it's all about how complicated you bend your asses while taking the picture.

Next time I probably bring my black Adidas shoe box and by holding it and bending my ass as complicated as my ass can perform as an ass, people would think I'm a good photographer.

RM10 for a five minute ride in the hot balloon is a pure waste of money. The ride was not even higher than a 3rd floor of a school block. Plus you are somehow contributing a certain percentage towards global warming.

There was no thrill in riding the hot air balloon as no death will be involved if someone decided to jump off the balloon's basket.

Here's how to simulate a hot air balloon experience. Get yourself a nice black tong sampah, and a nice bunsen burner. A cooking stove is excellent. Put everything on a 3rd floor corridor of a school block. Get into the tong sampah. Start the stove and voila!, with a good fantasy, you are in a hot air balloon. But even better, you are the fat little boy in Up!

The gang.

I Found A DDR X in Malaysia

2010-03-18T21:38:00.002+08:00

I found a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) machine unexpectedly today at a shopping complex in KL. The best thing about the machine is that it is DDR X. The latest version of DDR. The X version was released in 2008. The newer version, X2 will be released later this year.

The machine looks like it has seen better days. Prolly the machine is an upgraded version of older DDR machine. It still uses CRT screen. New DDR X machine came with a wide screen. So to cut cost they just bought used and/or upgraded machine.

I was excited when I saw it. There were two children playing it as in the picture. Since it is school holiday, the arcade was packed with kids. A lot of kids and teens watched them play and one male immigrant sweeper who watched the watching kids lustfully. So I thought they are all waiting for their turns and I planned to come back later maybe next week.

But after they have finished, no one stepped on the platform to play it. Then my heartbeats increased to around 2-3 megabeats and I changed a ringgit for a token. There was no segan-segan or I malu la... When I inserted the token, I realized the credit became 2 instead of one. Maybe the kids before me thought they had to pay 2 tokens for two person. This machine has joint premium with it so two person can play with just one token.

I was lucky for the extra credit. But unfortunately, since I'm not quite familiar with DDR X's new, and all Japanese menu, I chose "Beginner" level instead which I stucked playing 5 songs with maximum difficulty of 5-footer (They revised the difficulty so 5 footer in DDR X is equivalent to 3-4 footer in the older version).

Guess what? I sucked playing at easy levels. For the first 5 stages I just relaxed, making myself comfortable with the machine and the thousands of kids watching around me. But then, after I finished and the machine started all over again, with my free extra credit, I chose the standard play, where I can play any songs and choose any difficulty that I want.

I played my first, 8-footer song which I just passed a few days ago at home, Sakura. It is rated as an 11-footer in DDR X. Was moving really fast the kids all around me stepped back to avoid any free roundhouse kick and my sweats.

Yeah, my sweats and I forgot to bring my handkerchief or towel. I was sweating heavily just after two songs. Finally, in the middle of the last song, my body stopped as my eyes, brain and body decided not to cooperate anymore. My mouth was really dry and I felt dizzy. Went out of the arcade sweating like a pig. Like I just fell l into a pool or something.

Honestly, I with the feeling I know I'm gonna look pale. I went to a magazine shop since a saw refrigerator with some soft drinks in it. Fetch a Coke. The cashier gave a weird look at me seeing me sweating, pale and couldn't stand firm. Hurriedly open up the Coke and trying hard to open my dried, mouth as it sticked together and...

BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

So that's just another machine that I found. Now I know where to found a 3rd Mix, 4th Mix, Extreme, Supernova and X.

Thoughts on The Biggest Loser Asia

2010-03-16T20:56:00.005+08:00

How amazing I managed to watch the whole first season, waiting for each episode until the Finale last Tuesday. And how amazing people can lose weight so much they are no better than a drug addict.

For me it's quite fun to watch the show. It's not like the Apprentice like everyone was busy with their work. In this show, misplaced elbow, sprained ankle, admitted to the hospital for kidney stone and became very weak for not eating were some of the problems the contestants had. It's a show where 15 overweight people and one superoverweight people transformed themselves to be a more healthy person and thus promoting the fitness center which sponsored the show. And oh, one person transformed to be not a healthy person.

Here's my little thoughts after watching the Finale.

The Final Four Finalist.

OMGSUPERSCARYANOREXICANDSKELETONLOOKINGPERSONKOWAIIYO!!!

David; the winner of first season from Indonesia. Entered the show with 157kg won the show with 74kg (-83kg). This is so disgusting. He's more like the drug addict I've seen. He's the clone of Skeletor. Received more hate in any TBLA forums and facebook for looking anorexic. Sick! He's only 25 but looks like 65.

Carlo; the first runner-up from The Philippines. Entered the show with 136kg and the final weight is 83kg (-49kg). He is what I think the ideal winner should be. With a healthy normal body. Not only he lost his weight but he also transformed to be a younger person.

Aaron; the second runner-up from Malaysia. Entered the show with 159kg and lost 60kg to be 99kg. He is one of my favorite for not only being a Malaysia, but for keeping himself low-profile, avoiding conflict and drama throughout the show. Compared to other contestant especially Martha, I don't think I heard he said any F-word in the show. A mix of Malay and Irish blood, he has two super cute daughters and going down the slide, with his daughter, wearing a SARONG, was an epic moment!

Martha ; not worth to be mentioned here.

Other contestants who amazed me are;

Hafiz from Singapore. A very humble person, a bit shy, always smiling. Said to lose 60-70kg now. Tony from Thailand. A funny person with a lot of smiles. Now looks like a normal person. Kevin from The Philippines. The super heavyweight and shy contestant with starting weight of 215kg now lost more than 70kg. A fan favorite. Ever heard of Lempeng? He's having those all over his body now. In the form of his skin.

Hafiz, Aaron, Marilyn and David during their early days in the show.

Hafiz, Gary, Martha, Carlo and Christine.

Kevin

More pictures can be found in Facebook. Just search for "Biggest Loser Asia".

Here's something more amazing. By only watching this show, I lost 5kg. If I repeat all over from episode 1 until the finale once again, I'll prolly lost another 5.

P/s: Missed the show? If you google good enough you can watch it. I don't have Astro. But I have the dish. Since I got the internetz 5 years ago I never touched a TV. Sorry little people.

Job Interviews Are Actually Fun!

2010-03-13T14:00:00.004+08:00

I went to a job interview at a large American factory this morning. It was a walk-in interview from 9am until 4pm today. The last interview I went was about 2 weeks ago at a Siamese factory. So at 9.00am sharp, I already standing at the security guard's booth waiting to be escorted to the waiting room. Did you read that? "Escorted". By two security guards. I am so dangerous.

Arriving at the earliest time does not mean I'm the first person. I'm the fourth person on the list. One of the thing that I should improve next time is always be the number one in everything. I remembered during primary school after lunch break everyone was running from the canteen to the class to be the first person to sit down at the table and say "FIRST!!!" as loud and proudly as you can. But I always be the number one person, because I didn't go to the canteen, my XXXXXX-girlfriend packed me a lovely and cute 'bento' for me. That was when I was in standard one.

So back to this morning interview, after filling the forms and waited for awhile, I was called into the interview room. A girl and a few boys who came earlier than me were already in the room. There are four interview sessions at the same time at the room at separated tables. It room sounds like a pasar malam.

The girl was already "bersilat" trying her best to express her emotion while answering the question.

"MAIII NEMMM EISSS ABU. AI EMMM TUWENTIII YASSS OL" can be heard. Not to make fun of him. But probably he had 4.99 of CGPA at his certificate. You are actually fighting in your own battlefield. You don't have to speak in complicated Shakespearean English though. What you have learned in technical communication subject will suffice.

I just remained calm throughout the interview and tried my best to give the longest answer as I can. In English. Quite hard as I only speak Mongolian at home, and Elvish with my current girlfriend. She's an elf. She likes archery very much.

Nyan NYAN!

For me, large international companies gives more formal interview compared to small companies.

Large company: "Welcome sir, you're here for xxx position, you're going to do this, that, managing this, managing that, will give you training, this and that, work 12 hours a day, no OT, and we'll pay you one-eight".

Small company: "Keleja apa mau? injinia? Esok lu datang. Pakai baju buruk saja nanti kotor. Ni gaji lu mau ka?".

As a comparison.

So after a few interviews. I'm still unemployed. They probably won't hire a supermutant, a superhero or a cyborg. Being a half supermutant and cyborg myself with a superpower abilities definitely scared them.

I never misused my superpower abilities. I never caused problems in schools or university. I don't use my powers in public. I used them privately, such as writing this entry, I use my psychic power to type the letters.

Now give me a large-sized, bolded, black "T" for Biskut!

T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T

The Blind Side - Recommended!

Last week I found myself in a difficult situation where I don't know what movie should I watch. There are a lot of movies but most of them were never heard before, or not screened in the country. So today, a few hours after the 82nd Academy Awards, I give you the winners. And I'm definitely going to watch the ones that I've missed over these few days.

Last night I just watched "The Blind Side" after reading predictions on Sandra Bullocks and she'd won the best actress for the movie. It's not the kind of movie with eye popping CGIs, robots fighting and sexayy blue aliens jumping everywhere. It's a real-life story that can move anyone who watched it. By the way, the nose-kissing scene looks tasty! AND Phil Collin's daughter is PRETTY!!!

All right, I'm sure enough of this. There a few out there that have really good taste on movies and millions out there who thinks that they have the best opinions on movies. F^@& YOU! Adnan Sempit is not funny, and Valentine's Day are for couples to main geli-geli dalam wayang.

Hit the jump for the list of nominees and winners of the 2010 Academy Awards. I help you watch movies, no?

p/s: "The Cove" is really sickening. Run dolphins...RUN!!!

I'll Never Be Late Again For...

2010-03-07T12:30:00.000+08:00

I'll never be late again for dating! Woohooo! Optimus Prime is going to be jealous!

I'm saving money for the jetpack. The price is around RM250,000 which after a series of complicated mathematical calculations, it is proven accurately that I will able to buy one after 250,000 days if I save RM 1 per day.

The New Zealand's Martin Aircraft Company is going to sell these jetpacks commercially. The dual propeller will churn out 200 Horsepowers, can go up 1.5 miles in the air and with the speed of 60 MPH.

200 horses!?? that's ten times the amount of horses I have in my Farmville. Send me horses please...

The Old Cartoons

Sang Kancil, Sang Buaya & Lembu. Couldn't find the full video so no Buaya dialogues.

If you never seen this video before, you were not born before the 90s. Because the Sang Kancil series were frequently shown on RTM in late 80s and early 90s, where Astro or even Mega TV were not even exist. It was usually shown before the TV starts to officially broadcasted for the day and during the TV Pendidikan slot.

The quality was far away better than the newer Usop Sontorian. Usop Sontorian used MS Paint for the cartoon and the framerate was bad. Everything was bad for Usop Sontorian what the hell were you people watching? Lucky Upin and Ipin saves the local animation industry.

For the Buaya in the Sang Kancil, Sang Buaya & Lembu, if not mistaken it was the voice of Mahmud June. Never heard of Mahmud June? You spoiled brat better live somewhere else. And POW! there goes my roundhouse kick, in-your-face for being ignorant and too much James Cameron's Avatar.

Hit the jump for The Sang Kancil full video series and, Mahmud June epic win dancing and reading "the history book for man".

Rubik's Cube is Probably Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

2010-03-02T21:26:00.004+08:00

What is a Rubik's Cube? It is a square plastic, top-selling, prehistoric mechanical puzzle toy. It is so popular for being related to maths, IQs, stresses and a useful throwing weapon against dogs.

So last week my nephews and niece had a vacation after spending half a year of homesick in the middle-east. They brought with them a set of Rubik's Cube which I enjoyed playing with it.

I had one triangle-shaped one back in 1996. I came free in the A&W hamper I got for winning the 'Di Mana Joe Jambul' S1E10 tv show. Yeah I was so cool back then they decided to put me in TV show. But I was not interested with it.

Then last Sunday I bought an El Cheapo Rubik's Cube from the nearest Jusco and currently enjoying myself solving a single side. I like playing computer games with cheat. It reflects the real me of being invincible, have a lot of money, and can walk through walls. So I found this nice website;

http://www.wrongway.org/cube/solve.html

It's a Rubik's cube solver. I just need to put in the initial color of every side and then let the sitesolve it. Then I'll just have to follow the instructions such as "forward clockwise, right-down, top-left, etc" to complete the cube.

Easy right? Let me finish this one;

Down, Down-Right, Right, Punch; SHORYUKEN!!!

Down, Down-Left, Left, Kick; HURRICANE KICK TATSUMAKI SENPUU-KYAKU!!!

Blergh that was nothing, I once opened a demon portal from the underworld by solving a Rubik's Cube.

Hit the jump for a super cool Rubik' Cube solver.

Arwen Evenstar is Alive and Kickin'!

2010-03-02T19:51:00.002+08:00

Remember the scene from The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring where Arwen Evenstar@Undomiel Binti Elrond drowned the Ringwraiths at the river of Bruinen while trying to bring Frodo Baggins to Rivendell? The part where she spoke the Elvish spell of

"Nîn o Chithaeglir lasto beth daer; rimmo nín Bruinen dan in Ulaer".

(Waters of the Hithaeglir, hear the word of power, rush, waters of Bruinen, against the Ringwraiths)

Thousands of years after the War of the Ring, after her marriage with and the death of King Elessar, she still lives and currently work in Argentina as a train driver. She has been spotted using the spells to make way for her train.

Being a half-elf (and still deciding whether to find a human or elf girlfriend, thus deciding for the path of immortality or mortal) myself I usually use the spell after doing my businesses in the toilet. The word "in Ulaer" is replaced with "in Tahee" or "in Khencings" depending on the size of flood that I need.

Hit the jump for the video of Arwen Evenstar's train in action.

Have you ever heard of this song?

2010-03-01T21:49:00.000+08:00

Stumbled upon this song on Youtube. Sudirman - Kenali Malaysia. Never heard of it? Yeah, never been played for 20 years I think. It was so popular in the early 90's during the Visit Malaysia Year. Okay, I know you were not born yet during that time. Or you are to young and dumb to think and hear this song being played on the TV.

Okay, okay, enough of the insults. I'll give you a discount, you don't watch TV at that time because you don't have one. You know what is a TV? A mysterious usually black box with little people inside. It got tails you know. A nice sensation can be felt if you try to cut the tail with a scissor while it is turned on.

Oh wow, I nearly cried. Not because the song brings back memories, but I just realized the turtle does not have an orange afro hair. It's the sun. Demmit, I was tricked for almost 20 years.

The site is back. The hiatus was actually for a few days but suitable template was not found until last night.

The site went on hiatus because of an outside interference. Dabaliyuteeeeffuuu some people thought they are way too cool by forwarding my blog post.

The site is still in black and white! Yeaaaa... There will be never pink or cyan in this blog template. No pink because all the girls blog out there are in pink and half of the human population like pink. And no cyan because Dato' Ujang Bagong already painted half of Kajang with that colour; mosques, schools, telephone poles, electric poles, boulders, trees, goats, duck and chicken are all in cyan. Next we will be able to find cyan chicken sate.

JUSTICE FOR OTHER COLORS OTHER THAN PINK AND CYAN!!!

So that's it for the returning post. The past will be the past. No previous post will be moved to this blog for now. Maybe there will be a slight change in the posting style. It's like before this my roundhouse-kicks-to-the-face are usually clockwise, this time it's going to be counter-clockwise, and twice the speed.

For those who linked to this site before and did not see their link, leave a comment. Newcomers are welcomed.
