Guy tries to impress girl with zero knowledge
I was bored at home. 2 weeks break seems like a lifetime. It’s not that I hate home, I just hate what computers I can use back at home. A Core2Duo 1.67Ghz Dell lappie with integrated graphic card and a Athlon64 3800++ with a Galaxy 7200GS. I can’t even play Heroes of Newerth on those things.
In desperation, I turned to an alternative entertainment- Facebook. And presto, 5 seconds scrolling down my friends’ updates and I ended up with this:-
Somerandomgirl: cannot online because of the stupid gateway disable me to connect to the internet even i just bought a new switch. Just one computer can connect through with the streamyx password. So sweat!
Being computer un-illiterate, I tried to help her out by pointing out what she did wrong and hope she’d at least try to Google for some solutions. So here’s what I wrote:
Or get another modem router with 4 ports or more. I’d get a new modem router if I were using the one Streamyx provided. PS: Even if Streamyx gave you something labelled as a modem router, it is a fake- it’s just a modem. (with no routing capabilities whatsoever) hard to tell here… if u’re nt sure ask the guy in the shops, im sure they’re familiar with ithttp://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-share-an-internet-connection-on-LAN
However, this is more of a short term solution. It’d be best if you’d get a modem router with additional ports or a router.
If you want to heed your friend’s advice, bring your modem along as well and ask them to configure everything for you and have them show you that it works.
Hate post: The All-American Rejects
As you know, I am so not into current music. I listen to songs released 10 years ago. I still find Backstreet Boys and Westlife cool. I still love their songs. Call me outdated, call me silly, call me the 90’s person. Call me a faggot and I shall punch you in the face.
Anyway, while I was Facebooking, I saw this link posted by Mindy. It was about a cover of Womanizer by the all-american rejects. I don’t really have anything against them at first, but listening to the first 30 seconds of the song, I was annoyed. Like super annoyed.
I simply don’t know what’s so nice about the guy’s lame hair, or his sleepy eyes, or his inability to shave properly. Girls find him hot, which I really cannot comprehend. He must be the most sleezy person I have ever seen on big screens.
But anyway, his exact words were, “Why womanizer? Was it because the deep political contentions? No, it’s simply because we can do it better than Britney.”
This might be something like the case with Umbrella, which Vanilla Sky really did much better than Rihanna. So I sat back and was ready to be surprised.
But the 60 seconds afterwards just filled me with utter disgust- they were clearly trying to make fun of the song, and they suck so bad at it. I was indeed surprised, in a bad way.
And they say girls have the gift of observation- I think most of them are all blind.
Ice Age 3
Watched Ice Age 3 a few days back, the 3D version, mind you, and it was awesome. Watch the 3D version! Like seriously.
Reasons to watch it in 3D:
i. Gives you a reason to go to the cinema.
ii. Gives you a chance to get H1N1 from the cinema.
iii. Then death or 10 days away from campus. Both sounds good.
iv. You look cool with 3D glasses.
v. You don’t get 3D movies much at home. (different story with the new nVidia Nvision though. But that’s still long to be viable for cheap bastards like me.)
Okay, this time Julian is definitely cosplaying as...something.
Julian's imaginary crystal ball.
Just to remember I watched it 3D.
Vampiric Sayang :D
Here’s when my girlfriend turns into a vampire and try to kill me.
Sneaking up...
"Who's that?!" "You can't see me..."
"Your blood is mine!"
"NO YOU!"
And so I choked the vampire. End of story.
Spoiler alert
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen- my girlfriend just spoiled it for me right before we left for the cinema. I can tell that she did not do it on purpose, but I can’t help but to feel so angry and upset at the same time that I couldn’t enjoy the movie properly. Don’t get me wrong, I do love her, but there’s just some things I can’t take.
Like spoiling a movie that I’ve been waiting for since almost a year ago. I refrained myself from watching trailers because I did not want to spoil the movie for myself, like how I did with Ironman. I watched basically every trailer there is on youtube and its official site. In the end, I couldn’t even laugh at the jokes in the cinema because I have watched those scenes for like twenty times already.
Most of my friends were like, ” Hey, check out Transformers’ trailer.” and they’d go on and rant how awesome it is and stuff like that. But throughout the whole year, all I knew was those that’s written in the sypnosis at imdb.com and there’s a hugeass Decepticon.
I was so desperate for it to be enjoyable that I told myself again and again that it would suck. I did that until I believed it. That’s how extreme I went for the sake of this movie. But then, sadly the spoiler found its way into me through a different manner.
I repeat here : I do NOT watch trailers of movies that I want to enjoy. So please keep them to yourselves. Thank you and have a nice day.
P.S. I’m not mad at her anymore :p
I officially hate soccer
That’s it. I am declaring my hatred towards soccer.
Reason: I was watching the French Open all week at my aunt’s place and was disappointed when Rafael Nadal- the world number 1, crashed out early. Mind you, he has never lost a single match in the French Open before. So I turned to support Roger Federer.
Roger Federer is a legend. He was ranked world number 1 for 4 years. He had already won 13 Grand Slam titles, one short of Pete Sampras’ 14 Grand Slam wins. He is no clay court expert, which is why he has never won the French Open before, but he always manages to put up a fight against Rafael, who is a clay court legend. Their matches are always 5 sets over 5 hours.
Okay, back to the reason why I hate soccer now.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Iranian shop showing the French Open, so excited as I was, I sat down and ordered a drink, dragging Joachim along with me. Mind you, it was Mas’ birthday that night and I risked ruining it all for her because of that.
I watched some 7 games and Fedex was leading with 2 sets and 5-4 in the last set. He aced Soderling 3 times in a row! He was playing brilliantly. But all of a sudden, they switched the channel to some fucking retarded match between some stupid countries who actually pays to train their players for the most retarded sport ever.
I tried to get the owner to change it back to tennis but he refused. I rushed back to my place hoping to be able to stream the match when my aunt texted me the results.
I literally blew my top off.
It was the French Open Finals. It was legend in the making. Because Federer won that match, he became the 6th person in history to win all four Grand Slam titles, namely, the Wimbledon Open, the French Open, the Australian Open and the US open. He was equal with Pete Sampras’ with 14 Grand Slam titles.
And those idiots, denied me of watching it.
Seriously, fuck you soccer. Soccer fans* can all die and I don’t give a fuck. Curse soccer in the name of everything that is good and actually useful.
*soccer fans: doesn’t include my friends
Mas’ 21st Birthday
Well, it was a hectic day for me. I left SP at 8 and reached KL at 2. Then I had to wait outside of my house for Joachim to bring me my keys. So when we left for The Curve, it was already 3.30pm.
It was uneventful, and I think I’m a lousy boyfriend. We reached there and I was frantically looking for florists and Bausch K. to get her gifts.
We had lunch at the underpass from The Curve to Ikano Power Centre. Mas was all happy getting some curry mee there.
When we reached Ikano, I pushed her to Padini while I went to Bausch K. to get her her gift. It was directly opposite Padini and I was crossing my fingers hoping that she wouldn’t see me 
Here’s what I got her:
Dragonfly!
She gave me a kiss on the cheek <3.
After that… I got her a dozen of roses for her 21st birthday.
"Errk...he got me some ugly flowers."
12 roses. 21 reversed
She seemed kinda happy. That's good enough
The day ended with dinner at some malay shop in Seri Kembangan. I know, how can I make this important day soooo boring? I think I just suck.
Anyway, Happy Birthday sayang!

Valentine’s Eve on Genting Highlands
Valentines. It’s a day that I have mixed feelings for. For one, I am not in a relationship. Secondly, I kind of broke a girl’s heart during Valentines some years ago- the guilt still haunts me to this day. Usually I would just DotA that day away, but this year I did something more exciting. Like much more exciting. Avalanche/volcanic eruption/tsunami exciting.
Proof that we were indeed in Genting
Yes. I went to Genting Highlands 3 years after my high school graduation trip. I was fairly excited after not going on a trip for so damn long. Yee Ling however, just finished emcee-ing the CNYE banquet the night before, so she was naturally very, very tired. Ding too was sleep deprived. Ka-Yeng only slept for 3 hours.
But that didn’t stop us from going on all the rides. We started with the yellow/purple roller coaster- the one that looks like it’s going to fall apart anytime. Architecturial issues aside, it just looks so fragile- with only thin beams supporting the whole high speed right. But to be fair, it actually feels sturdy.
That was simply the most frightening ride of the day. The first plunge was like falling face first downwards. I swear that my heart stopped beating for at least a second. It was so frightening that I could not even get a scream out. Mind you, I was never a fan of roller coasters and I am acrophobic. The rest of the ride consists of 2-3 smaller plunges but I did not really pay attention as I was still recoiling from the fright of the first one.
We went on this next-
Second ride of the day
This was nothing compared to the roller coaster. But then it went on and on and on and on and on. We were like,” Come on. Stop already.” Ding and I had a slight headache after that. Let that be the first and the last time I set foot on the stupid ride.
Tip: Do not look sideways when you are on the Pirate Ship. I was okay up until I turned to look at Yee Ling- that’s when I felt dizzy.
Yee Ling snacked a little after that sucky ride and Ding and I got some sweets to help rid our headaches. We tried to go for the Flying Dragon, but sadly it was under maintenance. So we headed to Rolling Thunder Mine. The first part where the train is being dragged up was deafening. The “thang thang thang” of the chains richochet off the confined area and forced us to plug our ears. Once we reach the stop, it accelerated into a horizontal 360 degree turn. Directly after the turn, we were plunged into another much steeper 360 horizontal turn. After 2 more turns, the ride ended. It felt too fast, especially after the neverending Pirate Ship ride. There’s only one thing I would like to complain about the ride- the ceiling and the walls felt so near that I had to hunch in fear of having my head cleaved off. Besides that, I find it rather exciting.
It was 3PM when we came down from Thunder Mines. Then we had to walk back to the car because Ka-Yeng- being as forgetful as usual, forgot the printed online receipt in the car. Anyway, we checked in and headed right back out to the theme park to make full use of the RM38 ticket.
Chained to Doom himself
Although this was the second time I’ve been on the Space Shot, I can’t help but to picture the restraints giving way and I fall 400 feet to my death. My pulse quickened to an alarming rate. We got carried up slowly to the top. After that was a free fall all the way down. My breath was locked in my lungs and I couldn’t even get a scream out.
It was scary but at least it was over soon enough. My heartbeat was irregular after that and I refused to go on any other rides. But I guess I looked okay. Ding and Yee Ling weren’t happy by how okay we looked after the ride.
More on the trip in Part 2.
