yea, i just learnt of another way to put pics on this blog.. so i decided to post this pic taken at the tip of borneo... looks like the moon ;-)

%GEMATRICULATOR%

just coz superstar ryan, then swee cookie cheng and amy butter and honey have done it...

i just had to give it a try. its the germaticulator. nope, it doesnt calculate the germs one has.. instead it rates ur site or post of wat eva as good or evil.

for example.. this blog site is 60% good. the previous post {a simple hood} is 70% evil.. while 'the end...' is 97% good.
go figure the math. i was expecting this blog site to be 66.66%evil.. but guess they dont do fractions!

{a simple hood}

just got back from a splendid and very very fantastic unplugged mini concert by Grant Miller

just mr.Grant n his guitar and his "rich" voice. somehow after hearing him it has inspired me to clam down n live life simple... while appreciating it to the fullest. its nice to be reminded to not get tangled in the rat race. i think the influx of info to pass da exams got to my head!

now i gotta squeezeeee em out... make space for some HOLIDAYIN...
have some mango loh or mat toh lo.. or look up my lazy crab, mother crab, cat crab and all the other crab frens ;-) [its a insider joke!]

the end...

yup, end of the sem.. a big blow out with two major brain pickin mind boggling papers. but lets put it all behind for now n concentrate on lighter things in life... like... euro2004

placed a mini bet on a can of 100 plus and a futsal game that sweden will win... it aint as fun to watch if ur not a die hard fan unless u put a lil wager.. haha

summer time examss...

ok, for aussie uni's its winter time, but ova here its summer all year around.. n its also summer in the nothern hemisphere where all the action is goin on..

for startes, euro 2004 has just begun. greece did splendid in shockin the arrogant portugal, while france just had to steal the game from england! and the best part is, i gotta stay up till early morn to watch this gamesss... its all cool, except for my FREAKIN exams. today was a dagger right next to the heart. i realise my hopes of passin is now slim after doing some calculations. n best part is, i got two more papers coming up the same day that is not only gonna b a dagger, its gonna rip out all my organs apart. how come most of the dropouts r filthy reach ppl? i think i am destined to take that path too..

back to the action...
detroit is doin so well holdin the lakers back, i am having a great time cathing the games (n another reason y i have less time to hit the books)
i c karl n GP cryin watchin the ring fade away..
great series.. n did i say i KNEW detroit can do it? in 9 hours game 5 n hopefully the final game of the series will b starting. it had better the final game coz after this, not only should i give more attention to the killa papers coming up.. its gonna hard to snatch that win in LA.

so the wkend was basically like this... wake up, NBA in the morn. weddings to attend.. then at midnite, a good switch between EURO and F1. i also manage to sneak some sleep in between.. n of course much needed reading. unfortunately all that acquired knowledge was put to waste when it wasnt tested in the exam! damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

da Poo song

wat else i find.. the pOo sOnG

man, there are actually quite a number of ppl who pretty damn free out there.

jokesssss

As i try to clear my inbox.. i stumble across these jokes among the many others (most of which are sexually realted)!!


Computers

MALE OR FEMALE?

A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. Things like 'chalk' or 'pencil, ' she described, would have a gender association although in English these words were neutral. Puzzled, one student raised his hand and asked, 'What gender is a computer?'

The teacher wasn't certain which it was, and so divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine.
One group was made up of the women in the class, and the other, of men. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you might have had a better model.

The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine gender because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

Wrong e-mail address --SPOOKY

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Trinidad for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago.

Because both had jobs, they found it difficult coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that the husband would fly to Trinidad on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day.

Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. In his room there was a computer, so he decided to send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her address, and sent the e-mail without realizing his error.

In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. The dearly departed was a minister of many years who had been called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived.

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. Sure is hot down here!

!overdrive!

as i tried to explain overdrive to a fren today, i was pretty sure it involved the car going into a lower gear. turns out i was not too far from the truth. Overdrive (O/D) is the highest gear in the transmission. it allows the engine to have less rpm with higher speed in order to have better fuel efficiency. so just leave that overdrive on all the time unless u go uphill n stuff.

all those who drive automatic cars mite wanna visit THIS SITE

bowl SHreK

yup, this is a bowl the
SHreK game. u get to throw da big guy to a set of pins. its fun to try out, but beware, the company wants tons of info from ur pc- so it secretly says in the agreement that u allow to take watever info. lucky for me.. my firewall doesnt allow those sneaky lil programs quietly running in the background access to the internet. but the shrek bowler is a trial thing. good, coz it gets boring aftersometime.

then there is the 3 point shoot out which is also appealing at the start, as u so wanna get the money ball in n all, but after sometime... u just keep buring the net, and when u submit the scores, u realise everyone has been doin it too... so it'd b back to real thing on court where it aint that easy! hehe..

oh, game 1 NBA finals in about 7 hours. this better NOT be a lopsided affair. personally, i am in the 'haters' catergory. esp since GP and malone joined JUST to get the ring. losers.
BEAT L.A! BEAT L.A! BEAT L.A!

sky update

Bahai library

whoa... this just came in the mail
there is a Bahai Reference Library on the world wide web. now it gets real easy to look for anything related to the Bahai Faith

*crackin*

i finally got managed to get an antivirus software installed in my pc. it has been running without one for almost 4 months! imagine that.
so i purchased a CD with a hundred other softwares init, as being close to s'pore i do have elements of 'kiasu'ness (aint buyin a cheap CD for just ONE software, might as well get a hundred other i dont need rite?)

then trouble no.1, i dont have the decompression software for the file. didnt know it was a compressed file.. tot i got cheated!! lucky got that figured out pretty fast, downloaded a FREE version.. n got the files..
extracted them, ran the serial number generator.. n walaa.. installed..!!
NOT QUITE. now there is another code that u gotta transmit online... and ALL the codes i got from the keyGEN was not working. (after several hours of tryin all the codes) i give up, n try gettin the serial number online.. there are thousands out there... so easy.. but still not workin.
wats next? this is when the killa helped me. i found out its a tad bit more complicated then just inserting a serial number or running a crack program!
so after detailed therapy of crackin the security.. i got the antivirus running.. and now it has slowed down my connection.
i think i was better off without it.
4 months, n didnt get a bug. i think all those vit C's and exercise was better then giving it a jab!

the looming felons II

i got a blog response.. woohoo..
in the sequel, i hear from a friend her version of the looming felons:
*since she calls herself an animal n all, will keep her identity anonymous*
on one of her days back here.. she writes…
-----
the family was chatting outside her uncle's house when some guy pulled up in car, smashed the window of his van and stole his highway transponder thingy (which apparently was worth only $100 bucks and the system was going to expire in a few months too). stupid! there were about 8 people in the compound, albeit mostly the old folks, and tons of neighbours everywhere - still he has the guts to do this. damn... me being a canadian chicken, and not used to this sort of madness, ran straight into the house, with my heart racing. meanwhile all the locals were yelling... hoi! hoi! hoi! running after the car to take down the license plate (probably stolen car too). after that, everyone started sharing stories about similar things happening to them - stolen bonsai, stolen handbag (3 accounts), stolen cellphone w/ injury, stolen jewellry, even stolen bata shoes! talk about desperation. it's scary when the stories are not of a second cousin's uncle's half brother's nephew. now, it's really hitting too close to home - a friend or a relative. man, my paranoia has reached new levels. now u know why i defected. malaysia's a scary place for paranoid chickens with weak hearts.

ageSssss...

i havent blogged in ages...
each day i have something in mind to blog, but time doesnt permit. so its too bad all those fantastic ideas are down the drain. follow not my footsteps n write down those dreams

the looming felons

my mom relates the story to me...

this afternoon, as she was just about to take a lil nap, a woman waltzes into our garden (gate was closed) and comes up to the door. now, my mom is lyin on the couch, no intention to entertain any sales or watever person...
so she just lays back. the lady holding a long umbrella, starts knockin away with her umbrella at the door... long enough to irritate anyone who can sit through a 2 hour argument about bush's intelligence.
so my mom draws the glass door, and says wats goin on?? she just says "oh, can i come in?" for no reason watsoeva.. and her dumb answers continues, my mom keeps saying no, she isnt feelin too well, she wants to take a nap, please get out.
so she stops, n turns away. moments later, my mom spots the woman still in the garden. she is pickin my moma precious orchids!
so mom goes "wat are you doin? you are not suppose to pick peoples flowers!" da lady doesnt care.. continue to pick em flowers n says that orchids smell so nice (yea rite, da orchids have NO smell). after threats of callin the police.. the woman walks out.
later, our neighbout says the lady hopped into the car driven by a guy. so come the talk about recent events.. (yup neighbout gossip):

it seems that in another neighbourhood incident, the maid in the house let in a stranger lady, then some men came out of nowhere, went in and robbed the house!!! yea.. damn...

just a week ago, the teacher living a couple of doors away, got down her car outside her house... out of nowhere (yea, thats where they hide- nowhere)some dude on a bike grabs her hand bag and speeds off. poor lady fell to da ground, poor biker guy got a bunch of test papers! so much for robbing a teacher.

in uni, i hear another story. a fren of mine was right outside a mall, and a car pulls up. the guy in da car says "dude, can i borrow ur phone, i needa make a call.. blah blah blah". so he generously gives his phone to the lad. the guys says, "hey, get in the car while i talk on the phone". my frens asian'ly declines.. then suddenly the driver gets in gear n drives off!!! (yup with the phone)

so now it comes to me... as i was walkin back from uni, on a rather quiet lane there is a car, engine running, windows down, 5 boys in it. no one else seem to be around. i walk face down to avoid contact coz from afar the eyes already spelled trouble. as i walk pass, one of the guys goes "pssssstttttt". i ignore...
then just b4 i am at a save distance away from the car, he goes "excuse me.." and waves for me to get closer to the car... so naturally i did.. until suddenly my frens phone running off in a car story hits me.. so i make a undecipherable signal n walk away. they boys in the car... they didnt do a thing as far as i am concern.

now i know y lotsa people are paranoid. still, i wish it was otherwise!!

man, i just had to link this page about the recent behading of the american in iraq! some dude has a conspiracy theory.

how do you know the weather is hot?

1. your bladder is full, you walk out to pee. next thing you know, the pee'in sensation is replaced by thirst!

2. you take a cold shower coz ur feeling so freakin hot. 2 minutes after drying yourself, u stand wondering if u dried yourself as ur drippin wet again. (tip: taste the water on ur body to check if u really didnt dry yourself!!!)

3. you are constantly dehydrated.

4. you gotta carry a fire extinguisher with you, coz if ur out too long, ur skin starts to burn

5. all the plants around you are dead!!!

who would have guessed that travelling to some place 1/2 hour away to sit in a lil room with a couch (that has been "used" by hundreds of other ppl) n a tv n a massive sound system, just to sing songs can last four hours...??
in fact, if they hadnt stoped us, i wouldnt know when we would stop. its like a triathlon, we would push the distance til the paramedics say "sorry sir, but u have left ur legs a mile back"
yes, a bunch of me uni mates n i went to a karaoke session n got me back home at 6am. i am facinated coz the last time i remember entering such a session was when i was 14 in thailand. n that was just for a brief moment coz half were pissed drunk while the rest were drunk n pissin... n no one wanted a lil kid spoiling their so called "singing" with their skimpy dressed gurls on their laps.
so sat nite gave me a new insight to the fun this could actually account for. unfortunately i also found out that me folks share the same sentiment as when i was 14. too bad..
i say sing your hearts out!!!!

hmm...

Q: How many blonde jokes are there?
