parents, teach your children on how to use the toilet

i was on my way back from the memorable Rock The World 7, took monorail to klsentral, switched to putra LRT to gombak. at the gombak station, i needed to pee. so i went to the washroom. paid 20 cents which to me is absurd because it should have been included in the ticket fare. a public toilet in a public transportation hub? dude, it should have been free. not to mention that only passengers are able to use the toilet because it was placed inside,i mean after you check in with the ticket-lah.take note public transport operator,we i conclude that your service sucks.

so i went to the toilet.i prefer to sit when i pee.peed soundly, turned my head right, a signage got me thinking,do we really need to be reminded about this?

come on, developed country by 2020?but still can't use the toilet right?shit,we're one fucked up nation right now,don't you think?

CINTA

the most recent movie i watched with my girlfriend (lyn). a local movie, a phenomenon, a local production which abashed other local movies that made them want to hide that face in their pocket.
people say this movie imitates hollywood's 'love actually'; maybe the idea, but the plot and scenes are totally different. it rocks the feminine side of me.hah. 10 stars, 10 love stories. i would highly recommend anyone to watch this, if you want to see a girl cry, bring her along.
other recent movies: cicakman <-- yup, watched it, and dug it.

TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE
i bought this book at the borders last week.read the synopsis and fell for it(yeah,i'm that easily influenced).and this time, i don't mind, not a bit.the book was a good read.finished it in one day; 1.it was not that thick 2.it just made me keep flipping those pages.

"an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson"

the story revolves around a dying philosophy professor with his ex-(favorite)student spending some time on every tuesday of his dying days. they talked about life, love, forgiveness, family, and stuff about how life should be interpreted.it's a touching story of life after realizing that you'll be dead in 6 months.and he ended the months full with love.*sob
other recent book: google story, blink still reading: freakonomics, vernon god little

METAL GEAR AC!D
my latest addiction is my PSP.and right now trying to complete this game.wasted a lot of time on this one,but it's ok.gaming is my new hobby.and for this, i'd like to give my greates of apology to ben who i once called a gaming junkie.i understand the irrestible sin of gaming now.

JUNK

my new printed media for my music indulgence. cool mag with cool graphics and contents.covers all kinds of music from dance to metal, from mainstream to indie bands and majorly focuses on the music scenes from the south-east asian region.the fact that junk encloses a compilation cd with every purchases causes an earthquake (because it rocks too much....whatever). my favorite magazine since TONE went out of production.

ROCK THE WORLD 7
*speechless
the best gig ever.lo rocks,the crowds (which also includes posers) were hysterical,the sound system was awesome,and i had a hell of a 23-year-old time.although i missed some good bands, i still get to dig a whole lot of vibrating bands.and i thank whoever that made this happen.
bands watched:jason lo, muck, popshuvit, the official,love me butch, and others which i'm not fond of or ignored
bands missed but loved to watch: pete teo, lucy in the loo, damn dirty apes, bittersweet, couple

BITTERSWEET-perfect match

my latest audio fix. the latest the-next-big-thing in the local indie music scene.i caught their performance at the laundry bar once, not only they played good music, they also got the audience all excited.the phrase 'born to be a rockstar' is definitely for them.
the critics categorize their music as brit-rock, for me.........music.
favorite track: perfect match
recent cd: pete teo-television, seven collar t-shirt-drones

new toll rates sucks!

from the star:

"Samy Vellu said the Government had paid RM479.7mil in toll subsidy in the past six years"

479.7 mil / 6 = 79.95 mil per year. is that too much for 5.5 mil of kl population (from msc article) where most of the tolls are. first the petrol subsidy, now the road. is the government paying too much? for the 5.5 mil who pay their road tax, with the LDP being shut down for half a year, with the national income of trillions, i guess they're still subsidizing too much for the people.i dont mind paying a little more if i can really see where the subsidized portion saved is going to.the poor is still poor, the rich gets richer, public transport still sucks,etc. i hate it when they say, 'we're still paying the cheapest comparing to bla bla bla'; of course we are, that's why i love my country.if you want to be like other country, i might as well live there..right?

i'm sick of it all.i'm not an anarchist, but i'm also not a government extremist.i'm happy when i am am, i'll let you know when i'm not.

when nik aziz speaks

Dec 10, 2006. local news got excited with the statement new policy Nik Aziz (Menteri Besar of Kelantan) announced which offended the ladies. Most of the comments were, assuming the worst of the decision. they said:

.women are not objects
.disrespect women by treating them like infants
.The unsolicited and patronising attitude towards women typically accompanies a
familiar blame-the-victim theme
.whatever

so,the media has a point there (and so thus the disturbed public).women are different now than years back.they hold a more important role in the society.not only they are vital in a family unit but also contributes much to the national economy.so let's give 'em a little freedom.so what if they were those tight jeans and expose some little flesh (we man can indulge, what?).so what if they want to dress sexy and feel being wanted.they are in a position where they can demand or just execute without approval from anyone.and i agree.

but seeing the next generation after me,i get personally disturbed.15 year olds dressing like britney spears and sharing a pack of 10 malboro lights.it makes you wonder,how long will it take until this country turns into a demoralized but developed, a wealthy but incosiderate, full of praise but lack of pride nation.we can't tell women what to wear or how to present themselves to the public.i have much respect for women.a lot.but respect must be earned.go flash that humps,you will get respect,but in what sense?

i'm just blabbering here.what i'm trying to say is:why do women want so much to dress as present that it attracts the attention of men in a naughty way?would it hurt to dress vice-versa?MTV,blame them, and Virginia Woolf is a lesbian.

bye bye tetra network

next month will be a whole new month in a whole new year. lot's of hope and unfullfilled ambitions, and lots of promises. i will start my new job. what a way to enter a new year. hell yeah!!

somewhere in a lockup, i wrote "i was here"

i month ago\approx 1400hrs

I was driving back from cheras. i was tired, it was raining, the road was wet, i was lost, it was a f**king freaking saturday. I was supposed to be having fun, shouldn't i? anyway, i spent an hour and a half turning in circles and finally, a fimiliar lane. it was a relieve and good things are finally starting to happen to me, at least that's what i thought. 8 km from batu caves on MRR2, there was an accident. the traffic was slow. like a tired person, i drive so too. tired, slow and of course to hell with other cars, i want to go home and i want to go home now! but shit happens, in front of me was a lorry, we stopped and were on that state for like 5 seconds, and then *CRASH! I could see the butt of the lorry zooming in without my approval, how the hell can it get bigger and bigger and CRACK my front window crushed. Someone kissed my ass.

A lousy makcik-a bitch i would define her-driving a savvy hit me and an iswara hit her. or is it the other way back, the iswara first and then savvy hit me. which ever it was, i was innocent.but to tell that the traffic investigator who the first thing he said when i stepped in his room "sapa ajar ko buat crita ni?",i swear i saw a head shaped STUPID there. I stand on my point, we argued and i got tired, so i said "whatever lah, give me ticket if you want to". i'm f**king exhausted.

last 2 weeks\0900hrs approx

i didn't have the time to pay the compound at dbkl. plus, it was rm400. and the due date was a day before hari raya. you figure. so i thought, i'll just go to court and ask for a discount from the judge, if i won't get any, i'll just pay and it won't be a problem-early of the month.

so i met the judge, got heard, asked for reduction,denied,and escorted by cops to the payment counter-

me: encik, i have to go to the bank first, i only brought rm100
encik police: nanti lepas ni
me: ok

at the counter:
encik polis: 400?
me: i told you i have to go to the bank first
encik polis: ok, follow me
me: ok

walk, walk, walk, enter door, two lockups, entered the one on the left.

me: i can't go to the bank
encik police: huh? (without looking at me), jamin.

damn. an hour later, mom showed up, got lectured, skipped work, go home.
