Review: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor....one word - BORING.

They replace Rachel Weisz with an aunty. Shit!
The real life martial artists' fight scene is lame.
Layman's fight is better shot.
Michelle Yeoh's Mandarin still sucks big time.
Boring story, predictable.
Jet Li 's talent wasted.
The dude playing General Ming is a moron.
Rehash "parent/spouse-got killed for a while" idea from the second film.
Evey is now ugly.
Only beauty is Lin. May be to compensate for the ugly aunty.
Alex is annoyingly not original.
Where's the cute kid in the second film, what, he grow into this? Oh no, God is really dead now!
Anthony Wong does his job. Like his scenes, guai-lou can da-bao.
Poor GCI, I think Teletubies does better job.
Fuck them they wasted Jet Li (I know it repetitive, meaning really pissed about this)
What Wu Jing as disposable assassin# 1? Wasted!
Where's the funny jokes? damn it.
That aunty doesn't even look English.
Why don't renamed as "Low-Budget Indiana Jones Copycat Meets Desperate Housewife".
Russell Wong (the General Ming) your Chinese sucks, why don't you be dub over? Hearing your line is like piercing the ears with chopsticks.
Don't waste money on this, lucky it is free for me.
Better take the money for another good time with The Dark Knight.
Rob, go back to your xXx shit!!!!!!!!
Hate it when it is a bad story about my second favourite Emperor of China.
Run Jet, run..this movie sucks!

OFFICIAL Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer

DIY: Pasta Back-To-Back 2 - Pasta with Sausage in Alfredo

Part 2 is the more common take on pasta. The basic stuff still pasta. Like Part 1, cooked, cool and drain the pasta.

Other stuff - Shrimps and sausage slice.

Plus Alfredo sauce in glass container and some cheese powder or some Parmesan cheese.
Heat some oil and fry the sausage.
When the sausage starting to turn brownish, turn to low heat and add in the sauce. If you scoop it from the container, it is more like paste. You will have to add some water, depend on how thick you want it.
Stir a bit and let the sauce heat up till it is simmering.In the meantime, get you pasta ready in a plate. Sprinkle some cheese powder.
When the sauce starts to boil. Turn off the heat and pour it to the pasta. Arrange some boiled shrimps on it. You can do the shrimp when you cook the pasta. After you get the softness you desired, throw in the shrimps to the boiling water and let it cook for around 30 seconds. Cool it along with the pasta but put the shrimp aside when you set the pasta to the place.

Well, since the overall color a bit plain, add some green color thingy. My fridge got only spring onion. Then just take a little, chop it fine and garnish you dish. Just a little will not provide any flavour, and we don't need spring onion flavour in this dish.

And...done...Bom Appetite~!

DIY: Pasta Back-To-Back 1 - Mamak Goreng Pasta

First part, let it me start with a local take on pasta. Referring to a step in mamak's Maggi Goreng. So, we can name Mamak Goreng Pasta. ~lol.

We will need pasta, any type will do. I manage to get vermicelli in my kitchen. It is a bit thinner than spaghetti. We also will use some green pepper, red chilly, shrimps, sausage slice and an egg.

Bring the water to boil. Add some salt and oil. The cook the pasta. It takes around 10-15 minutes. You can check by picking a strand and chew on it. If it is soft enough for you, then it is done.

Remove the pasta from the boiling water. Now I employ a technique from Chinese cooking -through the cold river...lol. Dump the red hot pasta into some cold water and drain it after a few seconds. Rationale is, even after removed from the hot water, the pasta is still cooking. If you leave it open and hot, the surface portion will get dry and cold, but the bottom will remain hot and over moist. This will actually prevent it and since we added oil when cooking it, the water will not washed away the oil and after we drain it, the pasta won't be too sticky.

Heat some oil and stir fried that chilly and pepper in low heat.

When the smell starting to come out, add in the sausage slice and stir fried it will it starting to turn brownish.

Then add in the shrimps, followed by the egg. Fire remain low, scramble the egg.
Before the egg fully cooked and harden, dump in the pasta. Wow...this is for two servings. Stir fried for a while. You may turn the fire higher.

Now introduce you the secret of mamak's maggi goreng...the add in the powdered soup! Notice almost all mamak is using Curry flavor Maggi? That's why la. For this dish, I use Mamme's Curry soup powder. Reason, I only manage to find this one in the kitchen. And because I found this one, I decided to cook this dish.

Since the pasta is enough for two serving, then it is all save to pour in the whole packet. And you can save on the soy sauce and salt.

Mixed or stir the pasta quickly and thoroughly; until the color is even. Let is fried for a few seconds. Then we can serve.

This is for one serving. Hmm shouldn't have use a transparent dish. A white one can enhance the over color a bit. Taste ok, but less heat. Maybe the pasta too much for the little pan. Should get a wok slightly bigger than that. Jusco like got promotion ler.....

But...and there is always a big BUT

Ok, what is sales order in Chinese? How about error? SAP contract? Wow. Really wanna help. But translating technical term really aren't in my list of limited talent. If you want a translated story or lyric at least I can do it. But this...pai seh pai seh.

So the humpty dumpty back to the work....

I knew I purposely left some work yesterday. I realized I still have some shit yet to clean up. Both sites form one of our biggest customer still have orders waiting me. Given my half day until lunch. Only 20% will left. I have this confidence. But....there's a big but.

I was so concentrated, the work turbo was working fine, my momentum was gaining. Then a shadow casted over my cubicle....damn it. I am to join a training that is not directly related to my current job but it will be better I sit in and get to know something. Well...since, not directly related to me then I can of course pay only less than a quarter of attention and proceed my work there.

And so it was done. But....there is always a big but. I sensed a disturbance in the force. The workforce was not balance, so I sensed it. In the meeting room, I started to got a bad feeling about this.

I opened MSN, opened Sametime. I checked and rechecked. I sneaked out of the room (witnessed by all in the room) and check the place. OMG~ my one and only help is not here yet? Or is it "yet" anyway? She either already be here at this hour or not at here at all.

Worried (about my day) I text her. No reply. Ah, just back up her, never mind, should not be that much work today. But, and then there is another but...a MSN window pop up and tell me the training meant for my job scope was scheduled in the after noon. Great~!

Very injured now, and the salt came...SMS from manager who is on leave. That girl really won't be here today. MC. At that moment I was thinking why didn't I hit my head harder yesterday till it bleed. Then perhaps I can take a few days of MC. See how the management suffer without us~ wahahahaha~ just for the fun of it.

But salt is nothing compare to acid. The acid came in toe form of lousy presentation in the afternoon session. The so call training is cheaply conducted via teleconferencing. And the guy at the other end spoke as if someone if pressing his balls all the time. How can I concentrate at all? The orders bothering me. Damn. The session was not at all productive. Didn't even absorb anything.

At the end of the day, I just manage to finish 80% of one of the the 8 databases' work. Out of this

8, 4 are from web. I touch none. Another 3 I touched a little. Hey, I'm an injured man, man. Can't endure to much of this. As a preparation in case I need to work alone again tomorrow. I decided to leave while the sun is around and go shop a little, to cheer myself up.

Tomorrow is only Wednesday....fuck.

What Do You Seek In A Relationship?

After office hour ends today I still online chatting with Amy via MSN. She's a weirdo an interesting girl.

Asked her: wat do u seek in a relationship?
Answer: i don't mind if he doesn't love me in return or don't give me good stuff...as long as he doesn't use me or treat me bad then i m ok lor

Well, I asked about what she seek in a relationship, but her answers focus on her partner. So what does this tell us? Simple.

1- She already got a relationship, this already known.
2- Expectation of the partner and the expectation from the partner is something that is still, to a certain extent may be bothering her.

If you already have a relationship, you won't rationalized why you have one. Because you already have it. What ever desire, imagination, want that you have not put into words or well defined before now you already may have gained it. So it is rather hard to think of it. But if a person that has no relationship, like the humble me, then he or she can tell. What one wants from a relationship. Companion? Feeling of existence? Feeling of being important? Need be love? Need giving love yada yada yada?

People don't get a relationship just for sake of getting a relationship. All our moves has motivation behind. We may not realized it, but it did exist. Even the most irresponsible playboy has a rational - having fun perhaps? Or the most traditional Ah-Pek thinking guy - breed?

If someone already have a relationship. Then things get a bit trickier. You see, prior to that, you may have imagine your relationship will be so and so. You have an ideal based on your taste and want. But since we don't have a custom build partner, the one you get may not fulfill all your hidden desire. What worse, they have their own ideal as well. It is when our ideal is not fulfilled, we starting to expect from the other. Expect them to do this do that, behave like this, look like that yada yada yada.

Expectation leads to disappointment and when you have enough of it, you will start to change the person, moulding them to be you ideal puppet. And this is a fucking terrible mistake.

People can't be changed by force. Change in people's behaviour and mind must happen unexpectedly, gradually, from the inside. We can't force ourselves to be what we are not and we certainly won't able to do that to others.

Sad thing is, most people in a relationship think they are so great that they can do it. Some are stupid enough to force it through and then boasted it to their "brothers" or "sisters". How wrong they are.

At the end, either thing get a violent turn and they go separate ways, or they finally see through it, and compromised. Yes, compromise will be the key. It is not denial of what you are. But respect the difference and give some space.

Don't ever dream of the Miss or Mr Right that pit perfectly with you. There are billions of human around the globe, the really right one may be hunting a wild boar in the Amazon right now. Most of the relationship success because they decided to get or accept the partner and work out the difference between them.

There is no a big WE in a relationship. There must be a Me, You and WE.

I can see it more logically when I am not in a relation. When we are succumbed into it. Who can really see? Love is not blind, just severe short-sightedness.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...

Monday morning. The cursed bloody morning. Despite I bed at almost 2 am yesterday, I was surprised I manage to wake up before the alarm. The clock show its 7, but I know too well it is just 6.45.

So, what the heck, month ends, trends changed. Should not be a lot of work now, maybe it is good to be a few minutes earlier. I can then finish the order faster and clear some shit that has been pending for months.

As usual I take my shower, had my coffee and dressed up. But it was during the dressing up part that I sensed a disturbance in my bowel. I considered, here, or office? Well, it is the first morning of a working week, really don't like the drive to office being disturb by this. What if I fart in the car? Disgusting.

Having make the cursed decision, I undressed myself, and with the boxer and a towel wrapped around the waist (anatomically I do have, just not quite visible now) and headed to the toilet.

Well, my father was in it. Taking a leak before he start off, I waited a few seconds, quite impatiently. Alas he got out and I try to step in. At that particular moment, before I'm event physically in the toilet room, I felt I left feet lost the grip. My brain and body registered this as a normal non-fatal slip that a minor gesture will able to adjust the balance. My conscious mind was still not warmed up yet. I felt my body made the move, but it was just too damn slippery and I fall...side way.

First the leg, then the thigh, hard one. Hit the back, hand brushed the wall, and the head hit either the wall or the floor. This highest mark goes to the head, the point just above the left ears.

All my parents whose witnessed it can do was "Oh! Oh", "Careful". Yeah, thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

But I didn't stay long on the floor. Sprang up in less then a second, cursed a bit and went to shit.

Well, it was a good one, the shit. Pretty enjoyable with Crayon Shin-Chan. I remember I was still holding it when I fall~ lol.

I check my thigh and arm, just some bruises. I know I hit the head, but didn't quite bother, save for my hair got messed up. After the shit, I went back getting dressed and start of to the office. The plan is getting the some fuel supply first. But it is on the way to the petrol station I realized my head is aching. Somehow the fall caused a headache. When I turn my head, the point get hit hurts. When I open the jaw wide a bit it hurts and I was a bit dizzy. Although falling side way on my left, I managed to get a bruise on the left feet. I ache and disturbing my drive.

OK, I'm not going to the doctor, but I'm not driving 20 something km to work as well. Since no doctor means no MC, well, I decided to go home and work from home.

It is at home once a gain that I recheck and found that it really hurt when I touch the left side of my head. Well, I'm not so worry about brain damage yet. A simple knock like this, the body will fixed itself. But as a safety measure, better stay at home and let the body rest. If things somehow got worse, then to the doctor lo.

Not bad work at home, but I missed a training call that she-who-doesn't-want-to-be-name-here reminded the participants last Friday. Damn it. Lucky another colleague attended it. Maybe I'll extract some info from her tomorrow.

Think can work as usual tomorrow.

Hope she-who-doesn't-want-to-be-name-here's mission is an enjoyable one, or getting to be.

Late, go sleep.

Review: The Dark Knight

Want a nice good film? Watch this, or you die regreting if you don't. Well, after Batman Begin's success and the studio's announcement if making a sequal. I was hoping and longing for this movie. A realistic, dark, psychological Batman film is just too great and people always wanting for more.

After years of waiting, I can say that I am not disappointed.

In Batman Begin, the filmmaker have to use the first half of the film to tell the origin story of Batman. The first film also has some mystical element in the form of Ra's al Ghul and the Scarecrow's hallucinogenic gas. It is serious and realistic, and for me, what it attempted, to a certain extent prepared the audience for a more realistic and dramatic sequel, The Dark Knight.

If you happen to watch a minor sequence of the film, that shows neither of those costumed characters, you may think this is a police thriller, a political drama, love triangle story or even perhaps a spy film. This is a film where you won't think you are watching a comic book film where illogical things happen and you have to swallow it. No. This is a film where you can sit and enjoy not only those fancy production design and special effect, but also a good story, superb direction and the bet part, fine acting. Yes, in this one, you are there to enjoy the actors' performance, not a two hours long commercial for Christmas toys.

The Dark Knight drops the bad convention of the previous franchise of telling the origin story of the villain that appears. The old films, especially the campy Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, wasted too much time on the villains' origin story they actually made Batman or Bruce Wayne's characterization flat.

In The Dark Knight, The Joker pops out of nowhere. Despite he told stories of how he got the scar to his victims, but he seems to have a different story each time, which ultimately made all his stories unbelievable and the people knows nothing about him. He is mysterious, intimidating, intelligent and charismatic. Wow, you can use the same expression for Batman. From the public, the underworld point of view, no one knows about who Batman really is. And this parallel between this Batman and his nemesis successfully made this Joker a real match for Batman.

Jack Nicholson's version is good enough, but Ledger's Joker is the one that can really give Batman a really fucking bad day. Before this, Jack is seen as the definite Joker, but his version is tainted by some irresponsible changes to the character and Batman's mythology. Jack's Joker has a name, identity and the worst part, he killed the Waynes. That's a pathetic change. And since Jack's Joker had an identity, he has less creep and less intimidating. Ledger's Joker however, gives you the chill even just thinking of it.

Some manga critic use to say, "People afraid of things they don't know". That is very correct, if we can name a scary thing and rationalize its form, then we will not be that scared anymore, but if we can, we scared. Reason being we know nothing about is, so we don't know what it can do and how should be react. that's why we scared. Since we know Jack's Joker was Jack Napier, then he is just a crazy mob in make up. But Ledger's Joker....other than The Joker as he introduced himself, we can't call him by any other name cause, we don't have a shit info on him.

Two-Face made a debut in this film. Unlike the previous big screen appearance of Two-Face which was tucked in Batman Forever and given a simple exposition on his origin, the whole Dark Knight film is to a certain point of view, the origin story of Two-Face. The incident that led to Harvey dent's disfigurement fits so well in the film that at the end, our heart actually aching when seeing the White Knight turned into the dark side. Like a fallen angel. More, this look is great, far more better than the fake looking this Tommy-Lee has in Forever.

This is good, since the mysterious Joker will never able to create sympathy for the villain side, so the film really need a so called villain that can let the audience to judge of, to think about and understand that people is not born evil.

The Batman this time really have a more detective role. Well, he was from the "Detective Comics". This time we see Batman on the move, not only those fighting and crazy stunts, but also how he actually unveiled the mystery, solve the case and the best part setting impressive and intelligent plan to capture Joker or the Chinese accountant. We also get to see Bruce Wayne in action saving life without the cape, when under short notice he have to go crack the plan behind the hospital bomb treat and preventing his stupid employee getting killed.

Not only Bale's Batman has soul, flesh, blood and dough, his Batman also has the brain and you won't doubt that this Batman is a hero.

Well, as you may have aware, I wrote more on Joker. That is because in the whole film, I think acting wise, Heath Ledger got the full point, Bale is great and so is Eckhart. But Ledger was the show stealer, and I enjoyed every second of his performance in the film. It is a great lost that he no longer around...sigh.

Before bed, end of Friday

Working days, never enough sleep. Vowed to get the max when Friday nite onward. Friday night was here, but what the fuck? Tomorrow not working bed so early what for?

Diu, not that tomorrow can sleep for long. The pig may come, some idiot may call the house phone instead of reaching mum via cell. Brother may talk, mum may switch on TV in the living room even she got one in her room. Damn, how late I can sleep till? Not very.

But still, I always enjoy to know the fact that tomorrow no need to go office. Since I want to prolong this joyful time, I rather not sleep too early. Isn't this contradict the purpose of weekend being relax and rest period?

What the fuck, don't care lah.

Seldom make my extra large Nescafe ice at home nowadays. The so call "New" Nescafe taste like charcoal. Sucks big time. Spoil my mood for coffee at home.

Think I need Starbuck. Maybe tomorrow, or next week.

Next two weeks Kelly will be in Dalian. Don't know how hellish KL center will be. Hope she have a great time and less stressful life there. she got more and more pitiful here day by day. Maybe things will get better after Everest online.

Till then, add oil la.

Don't know what Dalian well known for, but get me some souvenirs. And update your blog if can.

Song - FAMA 農夫 - No. 10000

FAMA 農夫 - No. 10000

I prefer hip hop that addresses the world, the society, the human...
A meaningful song, if you understand Cantonese please listen.

"Wearing mask is unhealthy"

"Wearing mask is unhealthy"

That is Kelly's comment via MSN on my recent entry about mission: impossible evil week and how I am pissed be try not to show it.

Well, everyone, to a certain degree, does wear mask. That's is one of the way we survive, make friends, get along, and avoid getting killed. If the mask to to minimized personal flaw for greater good, then it is always acceptable. But if it is for personal gain by pretending someone you are not, then go to hell.

Needless to mention, my mask is a bad one. Anyone with a functional eyes and brain can tell I have a fucking bad temper. I can heat up at any trivial matter. Wait for at least 5 minutes for an ugly bitch that is neither my friend or close colleague to show up for lunch everyday? If she is either a pretty chicks or someone I like, I don't care if have to wait for five hours but that thing? Yucks~!Why don't we arrange for a set up and get her fired! Better, I hope it choked to death. No kidding, this is the exact word that cross my mind. But the only thing that leak out is my black face and eyes emitting fire that say "Murder".

Asked Kelly what do she think my flaw is that need immediate attention.
Answer: bad temper and unique behaviour.

Ok bad temper, already covered a bit above.

Unique temper ma....hahaha~ Unique is a carefully chosen and mild word. Maybe she scared will provoke me. The actual word is "strange", not "weird" since there's some element of cuteness in "weird".

Why strange? Maybe I'm not so communicative, or open up? I seldom speak out how I fell about certain thing. Even if I do, I maybe using some pop culture reference that not much people understand. Communicative, is always a hard task for me. There are certain things that I can get to know without have to ask. Through colleague's unusual behaviour, their conversation during lunch, I can simply get to the right conclusion that someone has resign. There's a lot of seemingly cliche and common question that I can ask and make a topic of to start a conversation, but I never do since I can get the answer without even ask. If I ever ask, that is because I want to know and the worst part is , after I get the answer, if no need further explanation, the awkward silence will take place...fuck it.

Bottom line is, I'm full of curiosity. Once it is satisfied, I can able to ask a question about something I already know just to start a conversation. I feel fake.

Well, Kelly's "unique" comment is not about this. But it is related. She commented on my certain behaviour that left the whole group puzzled. Was I angry? Was I having something in my mind? etc. And all this speculation can be avoided, had I just give a brief message of what I'm doing. Right? Like all normal people does.

Sigh, bad temper, communicate only when need to i.e. communication problem. Two of my many many flaws i vowed to solved. But as I say, I we are to change consciously, it is very hard and will not work. Change my be gradual, from inside, the heart, the mind. This is also hard, but this works. Talking about mind, when was the last time I sit down and clear my mind, balancing it...searching for the guy that is lost in the mist of everyday routine and chaos?

Find one day la....haha

Third Day of Evil Week...now less evil ady

With the apparent decrease in number of request today, I can safely say the workload will be alright, at least until the beginning of next month.

Have prepared for a boring teaching lesson, I was rather relieve when Kelly told me she assign the one to finish some follow up first. But too bad, at the most crucial hour of the day (1500 hr -1600 hr), the one pinged me and ask if I'm free to teach.

To buy time, I try to finish whatever I was doing and ignore the message. Few minutes later, she come and in a twist of fate, she propose to let Shir Men teach her. Good, Shir Men is a good teacher, at least she has the patience I lack of.

My plan is , after she got the basic loading knowledge and start to do it herself, then maybe I can cut in to make sure she got it correctly for Korea, which Shir Men never handle before.

But the overall OK day today was tainted by the random failure of SAP system. Every few hours there will be an weird error and render the system useless for some time.

Hey, if you are going to cracked, please make it a big one. This is like cirit-birit, shit a little at one time but have to shit so frequently. It is fucking annoying you know.

At the end of the day, I got a chance to finish all the clean orders I got, and then I can offer to clear some under Kelly's account. But the SAP cirit-birit strikes again and I have no choice but to go home at 7 something. And that ain't bad!

Song - Can´t Smile Without You

Like this song so mush, thanks Hellboy 2~!
That scene will be the best scene among all super hero movies!



Can´t Smile Without You - Barry Manilow
written byChris Arnold, David Martin, and Geoff Morrow

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'da believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you

Now some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
Well I'm finding it hard
Leavin' your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm findin' it hard to do anything

You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm goin' through
I just can't smile without you

Second Day of Evil Week

Today, should be a good day. At least for me. There is relatively less order compare to yesterday. By right I should be able to clear all clean order by night, but....

But the whole MYPSGBILL team gone missing after lunch. They were having a meeting with The Big Boss, until after office our that they were released. Great, just great.

Of the whole week, this may be the only nice day that I might have but damn it. It's gone, and I still have some work left pending.

The Beef is missing for another two or three days, and Kelly, poor girl will have to focus on those training and meeting and stuff. This left only one member from Kelly's team to do Korea, and I will have to teach that person. Great.

I'm a very choosy teacher. Being impatience by nature, I can only tolerate bright student. So, I wonder how tomorrow will turn out. Maybe she's a good student. But my current level of interest is rather low. My plan for this week is to clean my account so that everything will get to normal.If can I want to clear all pending shit as well.

But since Kelly asked, how can I resist. Even now if she say no need also I will fight for it. Ha~

She's been busy and stressful lately. Since she be going to Dalian this weekend and will not be back until two weeks later. Better let her go with a peaceful mind. She did a great job backing me up when I went to HK, must return a better favour.....

See, I'm noble~ lol

Star Wars The Musical

Star Wars - Phantom of The Opera




lol~ saw this one youtube years ago...really cool video.
Superb lyric rewrite, like the song is purposely written for this.
Fans of Star Wars, don't missed it.
Fans of musical, this is the future~!

Evil Week is here

OK, so, Dark Week has gone. The darkest day in the week is only till 10 pm, and being the last CSO to leave the office. But that is history.

Behold, the Evil Week. In this week, I guess that we are having the infamous ROL week thing. Sales will rushing for orders get fulfill and give us a bad time, like always. Well, screw them.

Evil Week, the Darkest hour before first ray of dawn shines through. Don't mind even stay till 10, provide no one come and bug me with stupid question, stupid request and being a parasite.

Well, that team is an expert on that. It is only fair they always get fucked by their dog manager. Some did a great job, but some makes you wonder is he is really a human, or just a homosapien. Some, I believe will not die even is shot in the head. Reason being there is no brain inside to be destroyed.

Yes, I do really hate some of them. In fact they successfully make me hate the whole profession. Today got a call from some telemarketer promoting some shit. I almost broke out "Shut up you fucking s***s. I rather have a phone call with pig's internal organ than to a people of your profession, why don't you just die."

But of course I didn't do that. The ultimate of evil is not to be bad to everyone, but must appear nice and curse them in the heart. If you are rich enough, maybe you can arrange for their love one's death or torture or whatever humiliation that you can think of. Since I'm poor I can only use my mental power to curse them, and hope they die a miserable death and I am there to witness it.

Yes, I am not forgiving, and even vengeful. I don't have a big heart to swallow it. Yeah, totally opposite from the image I build up. That is a mask ok, and I was hoping by pretending to be forgiving I might one day actually learnt to be able to. Thing, is people must have something or someone to hate. I chose some relatives, and this whole profession as my target. What's wrong with that.Better to channel all hatred to a few, but give all love to the rest. That is how I do it.

And it serves me quite OK so far....

Teaser - Watchmen (2009)

A must watch movie next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday Night - Last Day of Dark Week

Friday, second day of CIC training. Well, it never felt like a training though. I always like Friday. No matter what frustrated me on Friday, it will go away fast enough.

Since the plan for the night has not worked, I was thinking what shall I do when home. Comic? DVD? Or read? I have tons of books left untouched and Harry 7 paperback is going to add up the number. Or should I get some Skol 9% as Liang has rhetorically recommended in Kellyz blog?

But at the end I did neither of this. Albert is calling for a gathering at Wong Kok restaurant in SS2. The food there sucks. It has been quite sometime since all of us spend some time together. The last one in Italianess was for Grace's birthday and we really did not have too much fun. This time, we have Albert, and with Albert, of course Denise, we also got Skol 9% Liang, Vince, Kelly, Shirmen, Vivian and Shane. Last time when Shane joins us for lunch I was too busy I did not stay long to even say Hi.

After being detained by a pity lady sales that works for the bastard he-sale and his son-of-a-bitch manager, I was starving and pissed when I get there 7 something. But I'm not the last to arrived, as usual, the initiator is late. The bad food does not make me merrier, but seeing the friends there, and some of them had not meet for quite sometime, all those piss vanished, and I hope they turned into a curse that two things I mentioned earlier.

Alas, the cucumber fearing guy arrived with the girl with a name of a wine shop and we proceed to eat and chat like the good old days. Kelly left us earlier for another round somewhere else perhaps and our conversation is getting back to the craziness we once had. Vince and Bert, the ultimate fai-wa jokers. Forget Dayo's stand up and Jan Lamb's routine. This two are master.

If I to relay their fai-sm, all will be lost in transition and translation.

So end has, my so called Dark Week with a funny night. Really funny. We got Vince posing as transsexual seducing a guy via his phone, and we got a story where a guy raped a washing machine. I have forgotten, when was the last time I laugh till my cheek ache. But I sure remember this time.

Wonder when the gang is ready? Should go for K next time. This has been said by many. No actual action so far.....

And so they arrested the suspect and tortured all the motorist...

So what happened? It was the first day of CIC training, I need to clear some of my orders in the morning before the class, and so I decided to depart a few minutes earlier.

The whole journey was a smooth one, can even hit 120 in a few spots...but just at the very crucial moment, can the bloody corner that lead me to the toll plaza heading to Damansara....the jam start....

Since there was hardly any cars in the corner, I roamed free, and of all the sudden this pathetic looking car appeared out of no where and I'm lucky enough to stop the ShitMobile on time.

I still remember the time, 7.45 am. In normal days, should be in the office in maximum 15 minutes, which will give me exactly one hour to start my T42, my notes yada yada yada, and kill of a few orders, or some shits. But that day.....fuck~!

One and a half hour? I was stuck before I even can catch a glimpse of the fucking toll plaza, that will cruelly suck 3 ringgit out of me, as a token of gratitude to stuck in the jam. Brilliant.

Since just a few days ago we were treated by another jam, I suspected this was another one gift from our beloved fucking idiotic government. So stopped my Hong Kong 80s hit CS and switch to FM. 988, MyFM, Ai FM, Hitz, Easy....all I tuned in and most talking about the same thing.

The one who is suspected for sodomy was arrested. No comment about this case, maybe in other entry.

OK, superb, you police arrested a guy suspected of raping another guy and you make the whole traffic collapse. You made us late to work, you made us late for date, you made us late for dentist appointment, you made us late for pregnancy check, you made us late to save the girl who is trapped in a building full of bomb planned by the Alan Rickman look alike in Die Hard.Yo ruin our fucking day just because you arrested a suspect~!

The rational? To ensure the people's safety? My foot! It is in such a annoying jam that minor accidents happen, that may let to a brutal fight that ended with 7000 deaths. It is during such a time when you gather all of you heavy tummy police officer to guard a citizen suspected for a crime that no one dies that you left places unattended by any police, which in turn provides opportunity of the criminal to do their trade. Shop get robbed, people get raped and the whole police force was sent to guard a suspect!

Now, this land in pathetic enough to be rules by a clown and its circus party. First, we have innocent citizens being fined for holding hands in a park, we have both male and female politicians making offensive and sexist remark about women; and now we have the whole police plus military force on the move to arrest just one suspect for a sodomy case.....who needs entertainment channel when you have the news in this country?

And so after 15 minutes, my view hardly changed. I, at the end, completed zero order before the class, missed a few lectures, had a late breakfast, skipped lunch and developed an inextinguishable hatred towards Barisan Niama and all the agency under this circus party's control.

Fuck them all!
Go to hell, the fire is waiting for you!

DIY: Fried Rice, Jacob's Edition

Well, apparently dark week is not that dark...yet. I still manage to leave the office around 6 something or 7; which mean there is till the Sun waiting outside the office.

Downside it, until my salary comes out this end of month, for this two weeks I think I need to live like an Otaku - stay at home and stick the head to the idiot box. I need to spend economically, which mean better dine at home.

My mum does not cook in weekdays, she need to baby sit a baby and a pig. For weekdays, we got supply from a home cook catering service. The so call home cook means this food is cook in someones home, but it will taste like our national fast food - Mixed Rice. Apparently this fast food business also got delivery service one ler.

In a day, dinner is the only meal to have higher probability to eat at home. And since eat at home, mixed rice quality thing, I shall not address as food. Those are chemical substance my family ingest to fuel up. So, to be able to save money, eat at home but not those chemical substance, I need to cook myself~!

Check in the fridge, I found that we have enough material to make the Fried Rice, the very fisrt dish I learn't to cook15 years ago~ wahahahahahahahahaha~

For this dish, we need a) RICE

and EGG (a must), cili padi (optional), sausages slice (optional), shrimps (optional) and spring onion (not a must, but better have).

Make sure that you have some supply of oil, and seasoning like soy sauce, salt, pepper and sesame oil.

Check the time: 2027 hours...START!!!!!
First thing, heat up the wok and some oil (depends on the amount of your material). This is enough for two servings.


When you see it started to smoke, mean it is very hot, reduce the heat, and put in sausages, then followed by the shrimps. Stir fried them for a while.

A while is enough, then break an egg and dump its content into the wok. The shell you can throw away. Stir fried it fast. Let those sausages, shrimps and egg mixed together.

Before the egg fully cooked, pour in the rice quickly. Stir fast. If you find some rice balls formed, press it with spatula. Make sure there is no rice ball.

Now we can put the cili padi and some salt or soy sauce or both. How much will depend on you taste. Since soy sauce is dark, the darker your rice get from the sauce's coloring, the saltier it will be lo. Stir the rice to mixed them up. You can add more sauce later if find the color too plain.

When we hear sound effects like "blik blak blik blak" and some rice starting to jumps like jumping beans, means you rice is hot enough and is ready.

The last touch will be, pepper, sesame oil and spring onion. The three material with a strong aroma. Mixed the rice in fast motion for a few seconds and shut down the stove.

Transfer the rice to a dish...tidy it up to be more presentable.
See our golden fried rice...
A finishing touch will be a little fresh spring onion and a little chili sauce.
Tada~ Jacob Fried Rice...(no biscuit added) wahahahahahahahaha~ my dinner~!!!!

Check the time again, 2034 hours.

7 minutes total. Simple~ Bon Appetite.

Prepare To Fuck Off The Dark Week

Another one and a half hour my long vacation officially ends. Don't if it is due to I'm going to restart work; my shoulder is in pain again. Maybe it's the bed. I don't know.

Despite all the rants, all the laziness, I am sure, when the alarms break off tomorrow morning, I will spring up and all ready to meet the challenges ahead.

My cockiness will comeback, my skill of diverting problem and hiding from other department will naturally take over me. I will do the best to make sure I can leave the office before the sun set.

This trip, I did not get any souvenirs. Just some snacks and cookies. The bad weather in HK limits our freedom and time to do more detail shopping. Even shopping for myself I find the time is not that enough.

Strange thing is, I hardly seen any typical souvenir thingy there, maybe we went to the wrong place for that. Not like here, every where and there we can find KLCC of all materials.

Still thinking how to blog the trip. But that can be wait. If Kelly can wait three months to blog her SG trip, then since I went to a farther place, I think I can at maximum wait for say...6 months?

lol~!

Blue Alone

Alone in my room, with my bottle of wine.
Don't to let go, the night.
Even it is already Sunday,
I refuse to believe.
For me it is Saturday, and I still have another day.
Will it be a bad day? A busy day? A chaotic day? A boring day?
Am I away for too long? Did I lost my confidence?
Where is my cockiness? What happen to my sarcasm?
Vacation pulled me from succumbed into a complete jerk.
But with it also I lost some of my blind courage.
Vacation divert me attention,
but the weight I still feel on my shoulder.
How I long for relieve.
How I long for massage.
How I long for my rest.
But rest is never long.
Just no matter how long it is.
It is never enough.
Wine, I try not to finish.
I need you to bring me to sleep, tomorrow.
Let me have my blue,
I will get over it,
Not now, but will.
For sure.
This is Jacob talking, OK?

Nooooooooooo its coming......!!!!!!! Nooooooooo

So, Sunday at last. In a few hours time, the evil Monday will invade the space of time and guess my blood out of my testicles. Damn it!

If we say the best day to start something we hate is "find one day", then the second best will be Monday. Tricky part is, in term of working, getting to the office, we can't make use of "find one day". We can only start on Monday, unless Monday is a public holiday or the office being zapped by a Klingon ship.

Of course the latter will be cooler, but I still prefer the first. No matter how suck it is, I need a job. Not because I am interested with it, but because I need money. Well that's the reason why we all keep going right?

One day, less than 24 hours...there is so many things I haven't done or done enough. I need more time to indulge in total laziness, being a parasite, transforming into Garfield, morphing into a cough potato or let mushroom grows on me. I have books I haven't read, DVDs I haven't watch, comics I haven't finish, porn discs I haven't review and various weekend projects I haven't finalized. 24 hours....oh God can you please put my office or better the whole Uptown area into a twilight zone for a month or so?

I'm not that greedy, 1 month will do. And since it is not I who skipped work, but the office just vanish without prior notification, then I still eligible to get paid. Can you do that God?

You don't have to turn my tab water into wine, I can buy myself. I don't need limitless bread to eat, I always prefer rice. I just want you to out Uptown into a twilight zone and makes all my managers felt as if they owe their life to me and my fellow colleagues. Is it too much?

Oh please....

What I Did These Few Days?

Initially decided to work on entries about the Macau and HK trip as soon as I got back. But decided not to. Well, I'm tired. So that is why for the first few days after returning to reality I did not blog.

So what was I doing? For most of the time I edit the photos I have taken during the trip. The magic of digital technology is that, we never waste film or money developing pictures that turn out to be rubbish. We can take a few shot for the same pose or scenery and pick the one we like most. If there is some imperfection in the pic, well, we photoshopped it.

That is my major pass time this few days. Pic too grainy, I try reduce them. Too dark, brighten it up and adjust the contract. I even made a few slides, put some frames and created some mock up of magazine or book cover. All just for the fun of it.

I never learn how to edit picture. Those tutorials in the web and PC magazines have too many word and hardly can finish them. Unlike those trained pro, I can see what difference minor contrast change can make, how to consider if one particular editing looks natural or not.

But hey, that is not the way I get my bread and cheese. As long as what I created is at least presentable, then I can blog it and upload to Facebook. The important thing is the whole creative process. The strike of ideas, the strategy to implement it and the final outcome. Some makes me feel pathetic, but some also gives me the satisfaction or being a creator.

Well, you don't have to take up courses to use Photoshop, just get some online or magazine tutorials and learn a few tricks on your own, and you are ready to do some work for your own personal amusement.

Dark Week Coming

A week has passed. At this time last week, I arrived at Macau. Relax and totally relieved to know that for more than a week, I will be freed from the nightmarish hell of my work.

A week has passed. 7 days later, I fear for tomorrow, the day after next, and alas, Monday.

It is like trapped in the Titanic and watch the ship sink and water rising around you. It is the feeling of waiting for an inevitable doom slowly creeping towards you.

Although by Monday I may able to meet people I longed to meet, mixed with the crowd I missed for the last week. But still, doing the work and working with those jokers from far away places is never a pleasant thought.

Two days. I still have two days for myself. The last days of holidays never felt like off days. It almost feel like the last two days of your life.

No, I don't think I will get a Monday blues next week. What I will get is the Dark Week. Hopefully it will not be as bad as the last long holiday I have during CNY. With the back up I have for this round, this should be better. And maybe, hopefully, my worries and fears will end up being laughed at.

Sigh...hopefully...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Packing...not really my favourite thing. Because every time I pack, I will find that I am hopelessly short of clothes. So hopeless that a casual observer can actually deduce what I'm going to wear next. No matter it is office attire or casual wear...just hopelessly hopeless.

And every time I realize this pathetic fact, I tell myself that I need to start shopping. Focus on clothing, not media products or alcohol. Let's go and shop till you drop at wherever you are going.

But still, when I determined to shop, I got no mood to do so. Maybe in other country I got distracted by other things; maybe in my own place I have no time to do so. No time? Thought you go to shopping centres every weekend. Yeah, all those are excuse.

Then what is the real reason? Well, you won't need to be Hannibal Lecter to deduce this psychologically...I am lazy. Lazy lazy lazy.

Lazy to dig and look at the clothes one by one.
Lazy to pick a nice looking one and check on it.
Lazy to go to fitting room.
Lazy to wait for the queue for fitting room.
Lazy to try the clothes in fitting room.
Lazy to ask for another size or color because my annoyingly extreme prejudice towards sales and the related position.

All this laziness will be amplified for several thousand times when I shop after work. Usually right after work, which means I have to carry my T42 around all the time. This is because I will need to blog at night, and my home's PC is dominated by my brother and the machine become such a pathetic existence because his devotion and belief to the uncle that sold us the PC who is nothing but a pathetic sales that does not even respect his customer and make decision without even consulting us. Wonder why the idiot will believe the idiot. And since I am not rich enough that I am able to not bloody give a damn if the Thinkpad got stolen, I have to carry it with me all the time.

So, if I'm going to try some clothes, I will have to add the unload and reload of Thinkpad Backpack part that is extremely not cool looking and whoever looking at it will get their eyes self destruct.

Tomorrow,or rather a few hours later, to one of the Heaven For Shopping. Will it be a fruitful trip? Will I succumb to pokainess when returning? That, and more will be in the next episode.

Till then, for these few days, you know what will happen to this blog.
But please do come everyday for some rerun.

Thanks, and wish me have a great time.

And remember to go to work everyday.

Nothing

I stop the last Star Wars related documentary I'm watching. Looks like the DVD is having problem. But not sure if it is the machine's problem or the disc's. Maybe re-try some other day.

Drank two cans of beer, hmmm now they hard have any effect on me, apart of getting me slightly sleepy, which is normal, considering the time now. I haven't enough sleep since Sunday.

There's still quite a lot of things I need to do. Some about work, some personal. None of them done on schedule. Is is because I am lazy, or just don't feel like it? Suddenly, I realize that "just don't feel like it" actually means lazy.

Thinking of writing a review for The Incredible Hulk, but don't know how to start.

Thinking of starting to work on "The Anatomy of A Porn Movie" but too lazy. It should be a long one, and still consider if I should put in pictures or not.

Thinking reciting what happened today, but today is boring.

Thinking of commenting on some recently bought CD, but no mood to be rhetoric.

Thinking of writing about friends, but enjoying my solitary mind tonight.

Thinking of writing about fellow blogger, but wouldn't it be simple if I just paste the link?

Thinking if this is long enough to pass as an entry?

No need think, just do it.

Go sleep.
