Archive for September, 2005

When I see the sun tomorrow morning, I am legally not a teenager anymore. And that saddens me, somehow.

You know what I usually do during my birthdays? On the night of every 15th September, I’d sneak out, and climb onto the roof of my house. I would just sit there, and stare skywards.

I would look up to see how bright the moon shines for me that night.
I would look up to see how many stars came to see me that night.
I would look up to see how much the wind would chill me that night.
I would look up to see if the clouds would slightly cover the moon to create a surreal glow for me that night.
I would look up to see if there would be any droplets of rain for me that night.

And then I would close my eyes. It’s never a quiet night, as there would always be the leaves rustling in the wind and air-cond motors humming gently and cars revving away in distance. I would stand up, and take a look around me. My house is perched atop a hill that overlooks a huge area of my hometown. And I wouold stand, and scan around.

As I enjoy the calmness of the wind and hear the songs of the stars, I would recount what I have done, what I could have done, and what I should have done. Sometimes it brings about moments of satisfaction, at other times, moment of thought, and the rest, moments of regret. I would pruposely dive into myself, and remind myself of who I am.

But tonight is a special night. The big ‘o’ as one would put it. Not on the roof, tonight, oh no, no. Because this time around, I plan to bring some hot chocolate along. Nothing would make a better companion.

And have a little quiet moment for myself.

Some fella apparently spammed his YM list [which included yours truly in it] with the following message;

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!! information to all PTPTN holders, there will be gathering to fight with MMU managment regarding PTPTN loan distribution.for your information, we have nothing to deal with PTPTN managment since they already send full loan to MMU, now the deal is with us and MMU, gathering information date:19/09/2005 vanue: stad building : time 2.30pm …pls we need your support..kita gegarkan pihak yang tidak bertimbang rasa ini..____banzai!!!! mari -MMU admission (Cyber) mmg bangang !!!!

I don’t know who’s gonna rally up the forlorn ‘victims’ behind this issue, but I’m definitely not taking part. What interests me is how this is going to turn out next monday. I wonder if anyone would still remember it by then.

That ought to be a sight to behold, lol.

I wish for world peace.

BWAKHAKHKAHAKHKAHAKHAHKKHKAKAHAKHA OH MY GOD, *gasp* I’M SORRY, BUT *gasp* I CAN’T FUCKING HOLD IT IN ANYMO- BWAKHAKHAKHAKHKAHAKHAKHAKHKAHKAHAKHAKHKAA!!!~~

Okay, enough fun for the morning.

In other news,

?Entertainment is allowed provided the artistes can entertain the crowd on pious matters,? said Dewan Ulama chief Harun Taib.
[source: Malaysiakini.com]

I believe our Christian brothers have been able to provide entertainment on pious matters without much fuss. Look at P.O.D. for example, or a whole bunch of Christian rock bands. I’m sure you’ve heard plenty more yourself. Surely that doesn’t stop us Muslims from having some entertainment that truly entertains us instead boring us to sleep. In fact, I’ve heard several different Muslim rappers from the U.S. playing on IKIM FM. I believe the *big* hoohaa around this alternative entertainment is that it’s often perceived with a narrow-minded perspective.

While I’ve have never given a shit about AF or M’sian Idol [let alone be a Mawi fan], I do find it appaling that certain parties label him as non-halal entertainment. Like, WTF? Mawi didn’t preach your kids to worship satan or to sacrifice kitty cats for superhuman powers, why is he deemed non-halal?

In case you don’t live in Malaysia, the ‘Halal’ issue is an anthill that frequently shapeshifts into Mount Bloody Everest.

I can understand if you deem cigarettes as non-halal, because it’s addictive and it kills you.
I can understand if you deem taugeh [bean sprouts] as non-halal because it tastes like shit, and that their population grow exponentially to take over the world [HA! I spilled your evil plans you fucktard vegetables!].
I can understand if you deem Ragnarok Online as non-halal because it’s an insult to MMORPG fans worldwide and should not have made it to Malaysian shores.

But I, for one, cannot fathom, not by a small fraction, why Mawi [and no one else before him in his league] is deemed so. What a bunch of hypocrits. And you call yourself pious men?

You know what pious people do?

Pious people use their brains to move their tongue.
Pious people make others’ lives better without seeking acknowledgement.
Pious people drive courteously and let pregnant women have their seat on the LRT.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

Pious people teach kids not to play Ragnarok Online.

But what’s this I’m seeing? Pious people making sweeping statements? Pious people speaking with the fury of a boar that got kancho-ed? Pious people burning stuff down? Hold protests? Look like fools? Teach kids to play Ragnarok online?

Well, if it’s one thing true about what they said, is that the end of the world is near. Mwhahahaha, ohhh how I love the irony.

Now I don’t usually bother with people’s status on Yahoo Messenger, but a certain friend of mine put a very interesting remark for his status. I don’t know if he’s in love [or in lust] or whatever, but hell, coming from someone like him, it’s almost unbelievably true. It goes like this;

Murphy’s Law of Love :-
# If the person isn’t taken, there’s a reason.
# The amount of love someone feels for you is inversely proportional to how much you love them.

And his final statement just hit me a jackpot.

# Brains x Beauty x Availability = Constant, Constant is always zero.

You gotta love his cynicism.

Whenever you disturb a guy playing DOTA [or CS, for that matter], it’s like grabbing his leg while he’s playing football. DON’T EVER do that! You might think “it’s just a game”, but the player it’s more than a game. To go AFK, to lag or -God forbid- to leave a game, is costly to his reputation. Why? His teammates will label him a spoilsport, aka leaver, [or lagger if he's lagging] and the other team won’t have as much fun playing anymore even if they win. The reason why guys can get so indulged with DOTA is that they’re playing with real people in the comfort of their own homes. They’re not just messing around with some silly AI. They’re on a very real playing ground which demands focus and skill.

If you piss him off by pestering him [or whatever shit it is that demands his attention] he’s going to channel his wrath onto you. Beware. Unless, of course, it’s an emergency like you burned your freaking face or the house is falling apart. If it’s just your stupid cat stuck in the goddamn tree, go fuck yourself. Girls, this when you should really respect your boyfriend’s me-time. Seriously.

Lesson: Whatever you do, DON’T disrupt his pace while playing DOTA.

[You can piss the hell out of RO players for all I care cause they're a bunch of pussies who can't tell between a cheap-glamour centric MMORPG from a REAL MMORPG like World of Warcraft. Who fucking cares about a pixelated wedding in a virtual world that you can't even step into? You're still just a sorry cheapskate couple wishing you had more sex.]

**************

This is for rempits on the road. For heaven’s sake, PLEASE FUCKING FIX YOUR BROKEN TAILLIGHTS!!! I can’t fucking see you! I don’t know how many idiots on the road I nearly ran into because their taillights don’t light up. Some don’t even have brake lights! I mean, come on, dude, it’s your fucking ass at stake, not mine! The most that’s gonna happen to me would be dents or scratches on Boy if I ever hit you. And that can repaired. What if you broke your fucking face? Man, that’d be a sight to see.

I don’t know how else to put this next one. Unless your head is made of scratchproof durasteel, WEAR A FUCKING HELMET. I’d really hate to scrape up the mess if your head gets smashed into Boy. See I don’t really care about your freaking head, cause, well, it’s not mine, you see. But seriously, wear a safe helmet, clip it up, and give way to whatever that has more wheels than you.

Lesson: Rempits should be banned from using highways.

And last but not least….

[deep breath]

Gundams >>>>> Transformers. I don’t care what you think, Albert XD Gundams FTW. Period.

****************

Sorry, I had a rough day with assignments and studies today. Hence the insanity. If you feel offended, well,… grab a cucumber and shove it up your plughole. Fuck you.

UPDATE: Bikers are nice people. It’s the rempits that should be exterminated from our roads. Thanks for the pointer Asyraf!
