Fun times

Ahh fun times lol. Nagen came down to Preston from Leeds where he a sad lonely bastard. Music coming only from Dom's iPhone I will bring my Logitech speakers down the next time. And yea the psychotic laughter is pretty much from me lol. Daniel using Dom's drying t-shirt to wipe the beer off the sofa is still the best part haha. That and Nagen and Dom reviving their IMCC days :D Pictures are on Facebook too lazy to upload them here.

Airbender

Just finished watching all 3 seasons of Avatar the cartoon. Yea go ahead and laugh but it is freaking nice to watch lol and now that I've finished it I want it to continue! Both my housemates will agree to that haha.


And what do you know? The movie version is coming up this July, with Dev Patel (the kid from Slumdog) as Prince Zuko wtf lol. Weird casting choice. Plus the trailer looks strange with M. Night Shyamalan as director zzz. Rmb Lady in The Water and The Happening? So not happening -_- Hope it's not another cartoon-to-movie bust like Dragonball *shivers. Nothing beats the original cartoon!

Because I'll be lost without you :)

double standards

So why is Robinho a disgrace while Tevez escapes all the criticism for being a jackass? Here are some of the reasons compiled, and oh the media is just plain bullshit. These are the situations on how the media and public reacted to each player.

1- Leaves bigger club to join Manchester City
Robinho: He's going for the money, isn't he? Thinks he's joining United.
Tevez: He's going to prove himself, not too proud to take a step down.

2 - Slow to learn English
Robinho: Shows he doesn't intend to hang around long.
Tevez: His English is better than your Spanish.

3 - Scores most of his goals against 'lesser' teams
Robinho: Flat-track bully, big-game bottler.
Tevez: Always gives 100 per cent, no matter who the opposition.

4 - Argues with referee
Robinho: Shows he is undisciplined and frustrated with English football.
Tevez: Shows his unquenchable passion and how much he wants to win the game .

5 - Performs poorly when played out of position
Robinho: Not prepared to work for the team, needs everything built around him.
Tevez: Manager selling him short by prioritising other big-name players.

6 - Constantly links himself with transfers to big clubs.
Robinho: Brazenly whoring himself out to the highest bidder.
Tevez: Blame his advisors and those nasty MSI chaps.

7 - Says he wants to go back to South America
Robinho: Can't handle the pressure of playing in Europe.
Tevez: Boy from the barrios hasn't forgotten his roots.

8 - Aggravates a pre-existing injury while on international duty.
Robinho: Taking the mickey, disrespecting the fans who pay his wages.
Tevez: Deeply patriotic, just loves playing football.

9 - Gives ill-advised radio interview in home country
Robinho: What an idiot. Hasn't he heard of translators?
Tevez: Refreshing honesty, he's speaking from the heart.

10 - Taunts former club after scoring against them.
Guest villain Emmanuel Adebayor: Scum of the earth, pure and simple.
Tevez: Take that, Gary Neville, you ugly shitwad!

Yea the media is bullshit isn't it? So are the majority of footballing fans, especially in these areas. Thinking by acting the way they do they are 'patriotic' and 'loyal' to their club and country.

So much free time now that my SSC consist of me just staying home and doing research on my piece lol. Should be fun though just that I wish I could be back in KL for CNY and Valentine's. Just a random thought, but there is a way that the rich people of the world can stop the world from smoking - if they all combine to buy up all the tobacco and cigs in the world and store them away. Just a thought.

tiresome

You know what pisses me off? FUCKING SLOW INTERNET. Especially when you are paying tonnes for the fastest package deal.

I also hate not being able to head back to KL during the next 4 weeks due to my lack of funds =\

Life is just feeling strange lately. All of a sudden just lost the rush of life, the rush for life. Maybe I'm just tired. Progress test was kind of stupid with so many teenage pregnancy questions and bloody dementia/schizo/hyperventilation syndrome (zzz) and all the painkillers which in all sense are all correct and applicable depending on the individual doctors! FFS. Not to forget the best answer for anything in doubt - review in 6 months.

Need to rest this weary mind. Maybe the weekends might help.

Something I got in Manchester when I just arrived last year in August. Fun times with Zakhir haha plus we had it in the open smoking area of the hotel and we were quite afraid that someone might catch us. One guy even recognized the smell and asked us lol. Was fine though all the people staying there are backpackers, so was like a big youth hotel...kinda cool. Weed grinder and the weed ashtray. Full aluminum as well not those cheapo plastic ones :D

Amsterdam this Easter but had to cancel that plan as Dom heading up to Aberdeen. Maybe I might head to Glasgow. I want to go back KL though sigh. Or better yet get the gf to fly over. And we can head to Europe and travel and sight-see and head to the sunny beaches. Ahh what bliss.

Can't concentrate studying, instead deviated to searching for banned commercials on YouTube lol. Good stuff on condoms haha.

I'm not gay

As I washed up the plates after dinner with Dom, it suddenly dawned upon me how much fun it is to stay with friends and be independent. Imagine having to grow up in your parents' house and under their noses the whole time - not that I'm saying that people who have that opportunity shouldn't cherish it, I'm simply stating that it is a totally different experience and lifestyle. Not to mention the time when Dom failed in his attempt to make his potato salad lol. Rachel should remember this as well haha. Rock salad. Eh Rachel hurry and fly over poker waiting for you! Stephen also will be waiting haha.

Looky what I found when I was searching for new movies and games (NOT PORN) to download lol. Was trying to look for Assassin's Creed 2 but sadly all versions are bloody Russian ones now. AND I have that little thing called the progress test this Friday. Sigh.

One year ago I met a person that I never knew I would call mine. One year ago I thought that she would just be one of my many friends. Never knew she would now be the love of my life and the person I will trust my life with (I know this looks weird together with the picture above lol just bear with it). This is to life, and how unexpected and wonderful it can be.

Worst man ever

Pat Robertson. What a jackass. This is what he had to say about the earthquake in Haiti which basically had ravaged the entire nation of Haiti.

In an interview on CBN, Robertson claimed Haitians signed a pact with the devil."They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal."

Now this is Pat Robertson, founder of numerous organizations and corporations, including the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), the Christian Coalition, Flying Hospital and so on. He has won numerous awards among them Humanitarian of the Year 1982, Christian Broadcaster of the Year 1989 and more recently State of Israel Friendship Award 2002.

Why then did he, on his show The 700 Club, say that piece of bullshit instead of using his platform to help those in need? Saying that it is a blessing in disguise that Haiti was hit by the 7.2 earthquake as all the crummy buildings will be gone and replaced by new ones. In case you forgotten Haiti doesn't really have the financial capability to do so.

This isn't the only controversy he sparked. He is used to making this 'predictions' about God telling him when disasters are going to happen. This is one of the MANY things he said, and I quote:

On May 8, 2006 Robertson said, "If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms."

IF you heard the Lord right? IF? From what I remember the Lord doesn't mumble or whisper or chomp on doughnuts while speaking to his people. Obviously this didn't happen, and also his prediction in 1982 that the end of the world was coming in October 1982, and he GUARANTEED that there was to be a judgment day. Guess not.

He also denounced the Hindu and Islam religions, claiming them to be 'demonic' and 'Satanic' respectively. Seriously? What good Christian, let alone a man of his stature, will say something like that? And to cap it all off (actually there are lots more), this:

According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda.

What can I say? This man is a saint indeed.

OMG haha if only my 62yr granddad does this

Ice-cream makerrr!!

Temperatures are going up already by the end of this weekend. No snow, no frost on my windowpane, no ice on the roads, no classes canceled due to bad weather, no people slipping and falling on their asses outside.

As much as I hate the cold, I rather have it nice and white AND cold rather than just plain cold and grey gloomy skies. Plus, it is kind of nice after you get used to it, beats sweating and having to take a million showers daily.

Forgot to be the human alarm clock for the gf just now and now she is late for class =\ Crap.

woot

Just had a sudden rush of blood this afternoon and I wanted to get something for the gf, and I decided to get her either the new Google Nexus One or a laptop! Lol I know random but hey, there were some pretty good deals out there earlier today.


The Nexus just looks awesome. Was just 5 seconds away from bidding for it on eBay (since buying direct on Google means shipping from USA means VAT and shipping fees) for 450pounds but the gf convinced me to otherwise. It's not even released in the UK yet lol.

Then headed to look at the new Inspirons on the Dell website but sadly the 11z doesn't have a build-in DVD/CD player. Pity. Maybe later on in the year I suppose. Damn VAT making everything so expensive plus it is raised this year as well son of a gun.

Maybe it's time to start dusting off my books and start reading up for the progress test. Sigh.

100mph

Is it heaven or hell at dawn
you really go it up or your going down
do you say your prayers late at night
or do you save them for the desperate times

do you see the beauty of a rose, i doubt it
do you hear the children sing aloud, no
can you see the leaves change the colors out there
can you taste the water in your mouth

do you believe in good will forever guide
does your devil take you to your other side
can karma kill you in your mind
do you plan to solve this one tonight
do you see the beauty in a rose, i doubt it
can you hear the children sing aloud

@#%&**%#@

Three churches have been attacked in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur, ahead of protests by Muslim groups.

The administrative offices of one church were destroyed by a firebomb attack and one of the other two churches attacked was slightly damaged.

Some Muslim groups are angry at a court decision allowing non-Muslims to use the word Allah to refer to God.

The government of the mainly Muslim nation has condemned the attacks on the churches and vowed to take action.

About 60% of Malaysians are Malay Muslims and the government relies on their vote.

There also significant Chinese and Indian minorities, who are mainly Christians, Hindus and Buddhists.

The controversy stems from a ban on a Catholic newspaper, The Herald, using the word Allah.

The Kuala Lumpur High Court struck down the three-year old ban on non-Muslims using of the word Allah.

Some major Muslim organisations, including the Islamic political party, PAS, have agreed with the court, saying other Abrahamic religions - Christinaity and Judiasm - may use the word.

But some vocal groups, including the Muslim Youth Movement, Abim, have cast the use of the word Allah as a surreptitious effort on the part of Christians to try to seduce Muslims away from Islam.

Church officials say that although the word Allah originated in Arabic, Malays have used it for centuries to refer generally to God, and Arabic-speaking Christians used it before Islam was founded, reports the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott.

Molotov cocktails

The argument has continued in the media and the courts for months but had not become violent - until assailants on motorbikes were seen smashing the windows of the Metro Tabernacle Church, a Protestant church in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.

The ground floor office of the three-storey church was destroyed in a blaze a little after midnight, said Kevin Ang, a church spokesman.

Kuala Lumpur police Chief Mohamad Sabtu Osman said police had found a wrench, an empty petrol tin and two scorched motorbikes at the scene.

Separately, Molotov cocktails were thrown into the compounds of two other churches before dawn, causing minor damage in one and none in the other, church officials said.

Prime Minister Najib Razak condemned the attacks, saying such actions would "destroy our country's harmony".

"The government will take whatever steps it can to prevent such acts," he said.

There was tight security at all churches in Malaysia and at several mosques where protests against the court's ruling took place, says the BBC's Jennifer Pak in Kuala Lumpur.

Mass nationwide demonstrations failed to materialise on Friday, but protesters at mosques in Kuala Lumpur carried placards reading "Allah is only for us" and "Heresy arises from words wrongly used".

"I hope the court will understand the feeling of the majority Muslims of Malaysia," said Ahmad Johari, at the National Mosque.

"We can fight to the death over this issue," he told Associated Press news agency.

The government has appealed against the court verdict and the High Court has suspended the decision's implementation until the appeal is heard.

I mean, seriously, WTF?? I'm not gonna risk my life here and say anything, but form your own conclusions. Hope my church is unaffected because this is just utterly disgusting and ridiculous. We don't go around killing people for saying 'for Christ's sake' or 'Jesus Christ you can't even make a working Molotov you lame shits'.

weekends hurry

Laptop running on Windows 7 now! And I have to say, it is so much faster -_- Damn Vista taking up so much RAM to run its shit.

Progress test coming up, and was having a talk with my PBL mates from Uni of Manchester about it since they had it since Sem 1. 120 MCQ questions, and at that time they could only answer 4 or 5. So I'm guessing this time we should at least get half right eh? Ignore the 4th and 5th year stuff haha and I'm gonna use my Magic Answer Dice to get the answer. Luckily, unlike those in S'ban, there isn't negative marking + it's not an official exam though obviously it is best to pass it anyway.

More worried about the mock OSCEs actually. 120 MCQs is fine. Imagine if they are you to explain to the 'patient' regarding the use of prednisolone, or any other medication for that matter. Damn.

Celebrated our 10 months a few days back :) How did it all pass so quickly I will never know. Seems like just yesterday when we went out for Valentine's, and it seemed like just yesterday when it was the month of June. Just hope that the next few years will pass fast too!

Funny adverts

white as white

Picture taken before I left KL. Sigh. I already cannot wait to head back there during the next holidays. Also, I should start learning to use Photoshop and Picasa lol.




Winter time in Preston! And pretty much the rest of UK as well. Snow gonna be coming thick and fast, 40cm coming tonight to be exact. Was snowing so heavily in the morning as well. Couldn't really capture the snowing bit on camera but oh well, its just a phone camera plus I guess you all can use your imagination. Speaking of cameras I have yet to put my real camera to real use -_- Didn't even bother to take it out though I brought it back to KL. Hmm. Sell it? Dad would be pretty pissed since he spent RM2K on it haha.

shadowplay

2010 has begun and I'm back in Preston freezing my ass off. Still snowing as well. Amazing I took just 5 minutes to unpack my stuff haha. And already sensing impending doom coming up with so many meetings and appointments and deadlines sighh. Can't complain though the baby has 10 subjects this semester lol.

Instant noodles looking to be on the menu tonight I guess. Not gonna sacrifice my testicles and head out in this weather.

away we go

And yet another time for a mandatory KLIA post. Counted down with the baby on the KLIA Express as she was unable to send me to the airport. Sucks. Managed to view the fireworks between the trees in the highway from the window of my train cabin.

Flight in another hour or so. And I'm stuck with no money at KLIA. Thristyyyy. If it were UK I would be drinking tap water now lol.

Sigh. No more waking up to sweet dreams for another 7 months or so.

Anyway, Happy New Year 2010!! 2009 was awesome and to have another great year would just be great. Hope everyone had a wonderful night of celebration and fireworks and getting drunk.
