Migrating to new blog host.
07.14.05 (2:50 pm)   [edit]

Dear friends and fellow bloggers. The past one and a half years have been a great blogging experience over here at tBlog. I've posted many fragments of my life in this webpage and shared them with all of you. It was an intimate journey and I'm looking forward to continue doing so.


But, I've decided it's time to migrate to another blog host that can cater to my needs, which the current host can't. I'm also doing this in support of my buddy who created the new blogging site and took the effort to help me migrate over. Really appreciate it man ^_^


I hope you will update your links and head over to this new blog of mine at textmalaysia. Really looking forward to seeing you all there!


Thanks!


This blog is now officially closed.

Queer eye for the blur guy...

I was supposed to meet up with my baby sis; L, at Midvalley on Friday when I reached KL. But I got there kinda early so I lepak-ed till late evening until she finally got off work. And boy... did she gave me one heck of a suprise...


Me : Wahlau-eh... 8.05pm liao. Long time no see... lu apa macam?


L  : Same-lar... same-lar. Eh... come quick, I've made an appointment for you.


Me : Huh? Wot appointment? Meet up with cool looking chick ah?


L  : You go dream lar. We've gotta fix you up. Look like uncle like tat... bleh...


Me : Where got? Still ok mar... see...? **pout... pout...**



Eh... look very uncle meh? I think I pretty sexy-leh... waaahahahaha... ok... ok... here's a bucket... sheeesh...


L  : **Vomit blood** Shaddap-lar... perasan x55000... let's go now... the hairstylist is waiting for you.


**Walk... walk... to 2nd floor of Midvalley**



Me : MAI LOONG SONG CHAI!!! Have to come until here meh? I usually get my hair cut for 6 bucks only at the Indian tambi barber shop! I'm not cut out for these type of fancy shmancy places ler...



L  : Aiya... come on ler. Try try and see lar. Besides... this is my early birthday gift to you... juz giv it a try... ^_^


Me : Whoa... really ah? Tank kiu... tan kiu... but still a little paiseh leh.......... aiyak... **get's yanked into the saloon...**


**We were greeted by this really professional looking lady called Wendy (W) and she ushered us in. I was then seated into this comfy looking chair... and was served tea some-more... fuiyooooooh!!! RAWK HABIS!!!**



W  : First time here? So tell me... what kind look are you looking for.


Me : **Look around... then points at my sis...**


L  : **smacks forehead...** Simple... juz make him look younger. Give him a spunkier image. Make him look more alive. He looks kinda dead now...


Me : **Gulp...**


W  : Ok. Let's see what we can do... **signals to a young female assistant**... give him a wash first.


The next 10 minutes was pure bliss. I never knew getting your hair washed by another person can feel this good. Especially when it's being done by the fairer sex... muaaaahahaha!!! After this, I was sent back to the chair with a huge turban on my head.


W  : Let's give you a trim. We'll need to take quite a bit off your top to give it a spikier look k? ** starts looping off my hair with Edward Scissors Hands like efficiency... then sends me off for another wash...**


Me : **looks into the mirror... whispers to self...** Aiyoyoyoyoyo... so much hair gone... can see scalp oso... aiyayayayaya...



W  : We need to work some product into your hair to give you the "juz woke up look". Here's some hair glue (I can't remember whazzit name...) which will do exactly that... **scrunch... scrunch...**. There... done. Good no?


L  : Yeah... looks much better now.


Me : Um... uh... ok... I guess so.


Walks over to the counter to pay up. Total damage?



Yaya... go ahead and laugh... I'm the very katak di ter-bawah tempurung type. How do I look now? You be the judge. I'm feeling a little gay though... waaahahahaa!!!



Thanks for the really unique birthday gift L! Very cool of you. Luv ya!

Kay-el... in a nutshell.

I'm bek ^_^ A pretty short break... but it was a welcomed one...


My bus to KL on Friday was delayed by 2 freakin hours, no thanks to the darn stooopid JPJ having "catch the busses which doesn't pick up passengers at the new Sungai Nibong bus station" field-day. Idiots. The bus operator kecut when he saw the officers moving in at Jelutong, so he unloaded all the passengers and cabut. Then he asked his boss to ferry all 20 pessengers to Sungai Nibong where he was waiting. **Waves fist of death at their incompetence... blek**


Other than that, the trip was ok. I'm glad to have visited my baby sis; L, who's working there, went on a shopping binge, stuffed myself silly wiv glorious food, managed to memorize all 3& nbsp;LRT and monorail routes by heart now and caught a movie. To those who're planning to catch War of the Worlds, my advice; save your hard earned moolah. It's juz another Tom Kurus "THIS IS MAH MOVIE... AND SO I HAV TO BE IN EVERY SCENE" vehicle. I could have sworn this has got to be the biggest turkey of 2005. Lousy script, so-so effects, irritating lead actor and crappy pacing. Blek x50000. Mabbe I'm juz biased; but my opinions could be based on me watching the traumatizing episode of Oprah, whereby he was behaving like a 13 year old kid juz fresh on reaching puberty. Moron.


Big Fish called me on Saturday to tell me bout the Auto Show which was being held at KLCC. I already visited the place earlier during the afternoon, so I decided to give it a miss. Wanted to maximize the time I had there. BIG MISTAKE. When I flipped open the newspaper this morning, I saw a section dedicated to the event. My eyes bulged. RACE QUEENS!!! MUTHALOAD OF DELECTABLE SKIMPY SEXY HOCHIE MOMMA RACE QUEENS!!! CMOS... YOU IDIOT!!! ARGGGGGHHHHHH... KILL ME NOW!!! Oh yeah... btw... the cars were pretty too... :-P


Here's a quick photo montage of my very short trip...



LRTs... LRTs everywhere... if only Penang had these...



The mutha of all shopping malls... Times Square. But suprisingly dead there...



I've always been smitten by the design of Sony outlets... but I still prefer the one at KLCC better...



KL Tower from Sungai Wang... damn hazy... hack.. cough... blek...



Rain... at Imbi... why now? I still have a gazillion places to visit ya know???



Paid de annual pilgrimage to my favorite tech-shrine... **kowtow... kowtow...**



Midvalley... mah favorite shoppin haven...



Meeting up wiv L; me baby sis... ^_^




Some male cancer awareness campaign... wiv loads of local celeb endorsements...

On the way to the bus station...



Getting ready to go home... sigh... very hyperactive little kid in front of me...



Going home... rain again... double sigh...

 
This is sad...

Looks like the tBlog is really bringing my website down with it. The constant downtime have been really hurting traffic to this blog. Which indirectly also hurt the quality of my blog contents. When I really want to write, the damn thing is down. But when it's up... I juz end up writting rubbish... sigh... sien...


Anyways, I'll be heading down south to KL for the next 4 days. Was kinda an impulse decision. Short break to clear the  mind. I know it's kinda late... but I was wondering if any KL bloggers would like to meet up? I will still hav access to the net till Friday morning... so I'm really hoping someone will drop a comment or two, I should be able to reply in time (yes... I'm trying to whore myself here... ^_^). Most probably will be spending the bulk of my time at Mid-Valley and KLCC.


Anyways... cya all next week! A plethora of photos will most probably follow...

 
Excruciating Blogging Experience...
07.06.05 (1:48 am)   [edit]

T-Fucking-Blog have been so fucking unstable and unpredictable lately that it isn't funny anymore. Everytime I try to access my site, I'm rudely greeted by the following :



Things didn't get better since then. It got MUCH WORSE. The rest of the day I spent staring at this...



I mean... come on!!! I've never seen a blog hosting site with such frequent downtime, it grates on your nerves. Should have used Blogspot instead last time... blek... regret gila. Ppl blog whenever they feel inspired to do so. And everytime they're greeted by the waramashit "Pls be patient while we attempt to fix our ass" page... they juz lose interest to do so. SO FUCKING BUCK UP T-MAHAI-BLOG!!!

 
When grounding is a good thing.
07.05.05 (4:22 am)   [edit]

I have a bunch of colleagues who're&nb sp;crazy bout cars. And one these petrol head is my boss. Anyways, he's the one who psycho-ed me into getting a new set of rims bout a month ago; which left me eating porridge and salted eggs for the next 8 weeks... hahaha. Anyways, this dude have done quite extensive improvements to his Honda. New rims, noise insulation using Superlon, air intake catalyst, cockpit upgrades, Raizen voltage stabilization, grounding and further tar-ing the undercarriage of his ride. His Honda is one sweet set of wheels.


Which tempted me to do some minor improvements of my own. I don't have as deep a pocket as they do, so I can only attempt el-cheapo changes. The first thing I decided to do was improve the grounding of my car.


Everything involving your car's electrical system - from nice, fat sparks in your ignition system to nice, fat bass in your subwoofers - requires a free flow of electrons to and from the battery. Good electrical performance requires a grounding system that's prepared to take a lot of current with minimal resistance. Your spark plugs, lights, fans, stereo, air conditioner, cigarette lighter, and so on all benefit from an elaborate electrical network that includes fuses, relays, and high-quality electrical cabling. They all share a common ground, however, and all too often a stock (there's that word again!) grounding system consists of just a couple of skinny braided cables that connect the chassis and engine to your battery's negative terminal.


As these sorry connections rust out or come loose over time, the amount of conductive material decreases. This leads to resistance, as your car's electricity is forced to travel over less material. It's not unlike traffic: four lanes definitely accommodate more traffic than two. As your grounding wires deteriorate, resistance increases and all your electrical devices have to work that much harder to overcome that resistance. Even brand new cars can have problems with inadequate grounding, especially if you've installed lots of aftermarket electronics.



Which is why I decided to get a set of thick fat grounding cables to create some alternative superhighways for the electrons. Installation is pretty straighforward. Basically, you tie your firewall, cam-cover, alternator and transmission to the negative terminal of your battery. According to claims on the internet, you will notice increased torque, better gas mileage, quicker throttle response, more starting power, a smoother idle, and better sound from your stereo. We'll see how true these statements are.


Waramashit... the transmission and alternator are practically impossible to access on my car (stooopid engine cover), so I decided to skip these and tie additional points to my chassis. It took me about half an hour to hook up everything and tidy up the routings using cable-ties (the whole process was a real pain in the back... owww...). The thick blue cables really added some much needed color to the engine bay. Anyways, asthetics are one thing. Does it make a difference?



Honestly speaking, after a 15 minute ride, I did not feel any significant improvements. But I do see that the display doesn't dim as obviously when heavy electricals kick in like the AC. So I guess it's better than nothing. I'll update this entry when I get a chance to evaluate this grounding a little better. Actually I don't really care... I juz like the coolness factor of the blue cables... hahaha...


 
Why I'm so screwed...
07.03.05 (11:36 pm)   [edit]

Many many years ago... when I was juz a scared little kecik punek at one of those waramashit gahmen schools which is too cheap to replace the damn 3-legged wooden tables and chairs...


My maths teacher told me tat :


1 + 1 = 2


My physics teacher pulak say tat :


1 + 1 = 1


My arts teacher lagi terror and teach me :


1 + 1 = any colours under the sky. Your imagination is your limit!


Kanneh!!!


And you wonder why students nowadays are such a screwed up bunch... blek...  :evil: :evil: :evil:


*Hop over to the Ayoi.....3 sentences  post which inspired this entry...

It's FRIDAY!!! WOOHOOOO! The day of the week everyone looks forward too. And like every other lazy bugger in this country, it's really hard to keep the engine running on this last working day before the weekend. Which is why I can't think of anything to blog about.


Daddycat finally received his Sony Ericsson T630 cameraphone after waiting in agony for bout a month. The waramashit dealer got into some kinda legal fiasco which made him almost settle for a refund. But alls well now and he's happily snapping away like nobody's business. You can tell by the stuff he snaps at...



Yes... this is the office loo... clean no?


Spent most of the day goofing around. Tea time was a riot at the office caferia. Especially when you have a cameraphone around... I will let these speak for itself...



Gaylord feeling mighty pleased with himself. Juz got off the phone wiv his sayang... observe the healthy pinkish glow on his cheeks... awww...



We don't really know why Pimp was covering his pretty mug. Either he's feeling rather emobapuk after the laksa he ate skyrocketed his estrogen levels. Or he's juz being his old cute sacastic self...



Your truly nearly gagging on his mug of coffee on realizing what Pimp was looking at...



Archilles feeling rather frisky... and yes... that's DaddyCat's finger of death...
