Bersih 2.0: Yellow, Peaceful and Righteous

I'm sure everyone has heard of Bersih 2.0. The media is all over it, international ones included. The issues regarding this yellowish campaign even caught the attention of Amnesty International. All the tourism plans are shattered with all that bad light shed onto the country's image. *jk*

Those on Facebook may have seen many pictures and videos related to the said coalition. Coincidentally, DiGi's network was down for awhile a few days ago and so some humorous people Photoshopped some photos with DiGi's Yellowman (now known as YCF cause I checked it on Wikipedia) being captured as explanatory evidence.

"DiGi services back online when we get bailed!"

And I found a very good statement when browsing through Malaysiakini.com and I quote from one of the commentators.

"People Power: I don't know about our Indian friends, but as a Malay, I can't trust Najib myself.

Look at what is happening around: non-Umno NGOs protest, they get arrested. Umno NGOs protest, no arrest. Yellow shirts get arrested, red shirts don't. NGOs against the government's misdoings are declared illegal. Umno NGOs like Perkasa can spew hate and racism. One moment, PM Najib Razak cries 1Malaysia, but his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin says Malay first, Malaysian second. Still want to trust him?"

How can you not see the irony? The 'justice' is so apparent. Almost too transparent to my liking. And since I'm so jobless, I went to design my own Bersih 2.0 T-shirt. :D

By wearing any yellow shirt, you're supporting it ninja style.

Happy Meal Fail *FML*

Had the greatest idea as soon as I saw these pictures. A brand new Meme Generator. I call it the Happy Meal Fail *FML*. :D

The Dilemma about DotA

It's Father's Day today. I actually had to search online to assure myself that today is definitely Father's Day. Seriously lame, I know. Due to the occasion, I suddenly have a strong urge to blog about it. Few days ago (or weeks), my dear daughter, Nita raised a question. Here is how it goes: 'DotA or GF?'

Let me break it down to you, just in case you're too dumb to comprehend the short question consisting of 2 abbreviations. It means to make a choice between the game (Defend of the Ancients) or the girlfriend (whoever you're dating). This question is directed to all the male species who play the aforementioned game and is in a relationship with a female at the same time. MY GOD?!?! WHY DO I SOUND SO SCIENTIFIC?!?!

Before I state my answer, I'm gonna tell you all what most guys commented on Nita's status. Most of them chose GF. Some just chose DotA for fun or tease.

Here's my answer: DotA.

Why? You will understand why if you've watched ice1cube's video which talks about Starcraft 2 and girls. Too bad he deleted his channel or else I would've linked it here and save myself the time to type so much bullshit.

Wait.... While blogging halfway, I went to YouTube and searched for ice1cube one last time. Miraculously, there was someone who made backup downloads and re-uploaded them.

So, I'm just gonna summarise my part. Why DotA? At the dead of the night around 3am when nobody is there to hear you out or there's no safer way to express your emotions, DotA is just around the corner with the click of a button. Sometimes the players in one of your game might surprise you. They may even listen to your problems and share. Great therapy, ain't it? :D

But then again, you guys also need to learn how to appreciate. When there's a girl who cares about you and is waiting for your reply in the midst of a conversation, please don't leave them hanging lah. At least have the courtesy to tell them that you're busy. And if they need you, leave your game (T&C may vary depending on how much they need you).   

Back to Bru-land

It's been awhile since I last updated.... again. AGAIN!!!

So what's new you ask? Of course, there must be something new or else I wouldn't bother with an update. It would be such a shame to post the S.O.S (Same Old Stuff). L.O.L! (Laugh Out Loud, not Lack Of Love)

First of all, I'm going to Brunei tomorrow!!!! YAY!!! Can you feel the excitement? The adrenaline rushing through your blood vessels? Can't? Not even a cinch? Well, its nothing new anyway. I grew up in Brunei if y'all didn't know. Back to visit my dad and all my brothers from the other mothers. Haha! Promise to keep the blog updated. And also take lots of pictures. And videos (Barry suggested this. Surprisingly).

Next, I have a DAUGHTER!!! HOW DID I GET ONE? Adopted one. Like Angelina Jolie. Or Madonna. Y'all know how celebrities nowadays are always adopting foreign children so I decided to adopt one to kick start my career as a celebrity. My cute lil daughter is from Brunei. Counted as FOREIGN, ok? Cause I'm in Malaysia. LOL again. No pictures or any information regarding her because I wanna protect her privacy just like Michael Jackson did with his children. RIP MJ.

Third, I felt kinda sad a week ago. Or 6 days ago. Totally forgot. It was on Monday. Cause Oscar and Ivan left on the same time to further their studies. *sigh* Those 2 spent a lot of time with me. Felt really close with them. Brothers forever, man. The day before Ivan left, we went to watch Fast 5, which was awesome. After the movie, I sent him back to the shop we used to work at. I stayed for awhile and captured a few meaningful photos.

Why he look so handsome here? %@#$!?! Here nia. :p

The perfect equation

 I was hoping the latter picture which I edited would receive more attention. I poured my heart into making it, ya'know? MY HEART AR!! XD

Oscar's departure was surprising. Seriously. Cause I had no idea of it until the morning of his departure date. Felt kinda pissed cause I didn't get the chance to eat breakfast with him for the last time (we have a habit of eating breakfast almost every weekend morning). All those days of discussing various theories and ideas with him. I miss those days. *sigh*

The rest of the week after Monday (the day they left), I kept myself at home. Vegetating. Playing Maple all day (when Big Bang patch was released). Wait... I actually hung out with Ming Yih a lot those few days. Haha. He's going to further his studies to KL tomorrow. The same day I'm going to Brunei. Whee~ No more vegetation state. :D

That's all so far. I finished packing 2 weeks worth of clothing in a record time of 15 minutes and 40 seconds something. That includes folding, roaming all over the house to look for clothes and rummaging through freshly done laundry. Yes, its awesome I know. 

Going out to 'yam char' with Ming Yih later, if he calls. Or I'll be here to continue Mapling. As usual. Haha. 

Mah people in Brunei, hope you're ready to see me. XD 

Friday the 13th, 2011

It was a hazy and cool morning. Like a foggy forest shortly after dawn, I can feel the shivers creeping in slowly through my pants. Was wearing a pair of very thin pyjama pants after all. :D


I totally forgot what I did in the morning. Right now I'm only having flashes of playing Maple. Sounds lifeless, aye? ;)

Went to school around noon shortly afterwards for the book sale. Actually, I just went to pass some books to my friends who are in Lower 6 this year and to accompany someone but she didn't show up. =3=

Hot afternoon. I stayed in and took a short nap. Actually wanted to watch Priest but Ivan didn't give me a proper reply so I slept on. Ming Yih called and told me to be at Infinity CC by 7 cause we discussed about playing DotA the night before. 

So I rushed to the place and drank Chinese tea while waiting for the gang to arrive. Texted people to kill the bore. Half an hour later, they showed up. The 1st match was a piece of cake. 3 leavers. 2nd one nearly the same but posed a lil challenge. 1 leaver. XD

Here's the climax. The cybercafe closed early. Everyone got shoo-ed out of the place. We were out by 9.40pm, I guess. The guy who ran the place said its unlucky that night so they're closing up. I made up my mind to go home instead of hanging out further with the gang. Bid goodbye to my friends and rode off. On my way home, I saw not one but three lightning strikes. SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. I had 2 cellphones in a pocket and assumed that it'll attract the charge. Thank God for His blessings that I reach home safely.

Stayed up to play Maple till 4am. Survived Black Friday. :D

Le Banana

It's a bonus today because I'm so bored at 0017. So here's the story of how I'm a Banana. (A typical term used to refer Chinese who can't read/talk/write in Chinese. Fyi, I can speak but read only a little. I can't write anything other than my Chinese name. To simplify things, the yellow banana peel symbolises a Chinese, inner white fruit signifies a Caucasian)

I do receive Chinese education ever since I was in primary school. But I failed horribly during Primary 4 and had to repeat the same syllabus in Primary. In the end, I gave up. I despised Chinese Language at the age of 11. And to make things easier for my life, I made a horrible excuse of claiming I can no longer withstand failing the subject and it will affect my upcoming public examination in Primary 6. Seriously lame, I know.

Life went on fine for me without studying the language until I moved to Sibu to continue my secondary education. Around 90% of the language is being spoken and 40% being written because the majority of Sibu's population are Foochow Chinese. Don't even think about flirting or communicating because SMS-es are written in Chinese generally. And I get laughed at most of the time because of my funny pronunciation or my incomprehension of what has been spoken.

Slowly, I learned to speak correctly step by step. And started to recognise a little Chinese words. Just enough to type a simple text message. Until today, I have no intention of mastering the language. The sad thing is, my little brother is better at it than me. Cause he realises the importance of the language. (To communicate with the opposite sex, I'm serious.)  

And so... That's my story. How about you? Are you a Banana? Share with me your story. :)

Starting halfway

Ever imagine yourself in a situation where someone does something you want to do halfway and then dumps it back onto you? And the direction they stopped at isn't exactly what you actually desire. But you have to take charge of it and move on as if you started from the beginning.

It's like a chess match where you start playing after all the pieces has been moved into a certain formation but you're aiming to take over the wrong queen. Or a boat ride towards an island but aiming to land at a different shore than you first planned because the rower for the first half of the journey isn't you.

What would you do? Ponder upon the idea.

As for me, I would enjoy the journey and slowly find out which direction would be fitting for me. Since I have already reached this far (no thanks to me), why not take a deep breath and enjoy the different view? Take a look from an alternate perspective. Upon realization after a deep consideration, then I shall choose the right course of action.

Thinking of turning back for a restart? Like Eminem raps,"you don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game", don't waste your time thinking of the impossible. Appreciate and make full use of every situation you're in.

The most important thing is be true to yourself. Do not waste time on something you do not want because it would be futile. That is common sense, everyone should know. Don't feel that you would be judged for every action you take because people's opinion does not matter when your desire comes into question. People do not decide what you desire, you yourself does.

Is it too hard to understand? Just want what you want because that's what makes you happy. Even if its wrong, it lasted for the while.

Jx's Art of War

Everyday when anything fails you, including yourself, one will complain, whine, ask for mercy or shout 'FML' as if someone cares. Truth to be told, it will change no fact nor will it bring change because the past has been carved onto the slab of stone called Time. Comparison and judgment should not be done by oneself to ownself. Because at the end of the day, you are left with only yourself. So appreciate and move forward. Forget the battles of unfair situations or conditions. Although you are put in the unjust position, know that you have tried your best and remained the last man standing. Some battles are meant to be lost so throw away your pride and dignity after the judgment has been passed and accept the reality. Do not lose yourself to your own ego. Always remember you have tomorrow so prepare for it fully to not repeat history and achieve a glorious victory.

10 minutes to 02042011

My dad is coming back tomorrow!!! XD

And it's my pay day!!!!

Last day of work!!!!

I smell freedom. Again. :D

Had tea with Oscar Tiong and his friend from SMK Lanang, Alex at McD's. (Did I get the name right?)
Not enough to catch up with the old times though. He still looks awesome when bald. :D

After that I sent everything required to Christina. Or Christine. Totally forgot her name. But there are still some more documents that have to be renewed and verified. *sigh*

Totally hope that I can get the scholarship.

Once again... VPS failed. All I got is this one shot and a graphic I did as some sort of consolation to someone.

Waking up from a dream

I just woke up, literally. I remember what I promised Jacq, of course. Drank a cup of water before sitting down in front of this screen.

Have you ever felt the confusion you get when you wake up from a vivid dream? As if the dream is another world you're living and as you wake up, you are entering another different dimension. It is as if the dream you just had is a reality. You could swear something happened in the world before but right in front of you now, such thing has never occurred before. This feeling that alienates your perception and the transformation is confounding. 

Everyone have one of those moments. The more common cases would be caused by revelation of an uglier side of the reality. Allow me to make an example.

Imagine. You meet someone in your life. Someone who's so perfect. Someone who makes you happy. Someone whom became a part of your life. And then one day, it all changes. Take that person out of the equation. How would you feel and what would you do at that point in time? 

Some people who are stronger, they move on while picking up the broken pieces. Some find replacement to fill the void. And there are those who just couldn't accept the new reality and decide to use the ticket to hell. Suicide. I love Constantine the movie. :)

I had an epiphany when I woke up so I wrote something very theoretical and boring.

P.S. I might dedicate something to you later, Jacq. :D

Don't Judge

I read this note written by one of my best pal. Seriously good and authentic content. Here it goes. I tried my best to translate it but I don't think it was as good as the real deal.

别说

我说 ... 爱情如雨天...
遇到下雨天... 有人欢喜有人愁...

我说... 爱情太考验...
一但爱上了...没有人会没有压力...

但别说... 爱情是一场角力...
我爱的她虽然有时很暴力...
无谓有时反而会觉得特别甜蜜...

有人说... 爱情像衣服...
一天换一件...烦恼快不见...

也有人说... 爱情太虚假...
别对男女有偏见...男欢女爱很普遍...
三天两头被人骗...只能怪你没主见...

更有人说... Love Just a Game...
Why don't you just go play Mario?
Eat your fucking coin and fucking mushroom =D

请你...

别说 ... 爱情如衣服...
当你穿上了... 并不一定脱的下...

别说 ... 爱情太虚假...
当你爱上了...谁都会奋不顾身...

更别说... 爱情是一场游戏...
因为你曾经的伤害...就告诉他人不必等待？
等待不等待...不需要第三者来决定 ;
凭什么你能来告诉我, 真爱何时何年何月才来报到？

Can't you just shut the fuck up?
 ____________________________________________________________________

Don't Judge

I think... Love is similar to a rainy day.
When the rain comes, some welcome it while others worry.

I think... Love is an overrated test.
Once in love, it is impossible not to be under any pressure.

But don't think that love is a competition,
For the one I love can sometimes be quite violent.
Anyway, sometimes I feel that she can be pretty sweet.

Some people think love is similar to clothing.
Each day meant a change of clothing. Worrying as if it will disappear in the blink of an eye.

Some people also think love is too artificial and fake.
Don't discriminate between both genders, because it is normal to have a crush or admire someone.
Quite often you see unlucky ones getting cheated... The blame is on them as they don't think for themselves.

More often you hear people say that love is just a game.
Why don't you just go play Mario?
Collect your fucking coins and step on bitching mushrooms.
   


Please...

Don't think that love is similar to clothing.
Once you wear it, it doesn't mean that you can take it off.

Don't think that love is too artificial and fake.
Once you fall in love, there are no hesitations when sacrificing for the one you love.

Don't think that love is just a game.
Just because you got hurt before, you tell others that person is not worth waiting for?
To wait or not to wait... No need for third parties to decide for you;
For they can't tell you how many weeks, months or years it takes for true love to come to you.

Can't you just shut the fuck up?

I need a 'Love Doctor'

My head aches from thinking of you too much. Thoughts of you bring me sleepless nights.

My eyes are blurry. It's been awhile since I last saw you, always so noticeable with your breathtaking beauty. 

My nose gets blocked constantly. I think I need to get a whiff of your hair.

My ears can't hear as well as they did before. Only your voice and the way you laugh can cure them.

My lips are numb. Can you help me feel them again?

My hands are weak and helpless. They need to know how it feels like to hold your hands again.

My legs are shaking all the time. They're always ready to rush over to where you're at.


And most importantly...

My heart is in pain. The heartbeat is abnormal because it beats according to the way you feel. It bleeds because of jealousy. It is hungry for your care and attention. And the only reason it's still beating is because of YOU.

Would you please be my 'Love Doctor'?  

Time to take the Stand

Time flies. And the moment is already here. I was hoping that the situation doesn't have to be like this but it's inevitable. It's time for me to take the stand. For myself. For my family. For my friends. For my future.

SACRIFICE

So many things I want to achieve or do but it has to end here today. For all the time I have left before STPM, shall be devoted to it solely. It's all for the better if you look at it in the long run. That's if you have the patience. I regard myself as a mystery. Cause I just don't know my true attributes. It deviates at times. There are still so many things I have yet to do. There are still so many things that I have yet to share. My recent trip to Perth made it even worse for me as I realize more things about my life and in turn also saddened me on the way back home. But for the sake of the so called future, I have to bid a lot of farewells for a short period of time. Goodbye to MapleSEA. No more reading mangas or watching animes. Facebook is also a prohibited area. The only place I limit to myself would be Lune d'Ombre, my hideout.

EXIT

The only way out of this Hell will only be revealed in time. But how long can I withstand this challenge? I have never done anything like this in my life, let alone give up so much for just one thing. That one thing capable of determining my future significantly. I don't want to rant any longer as all talk and no action makes me a complete fool. The purpose is to remind myself that I can no longer risk it anymore and this is my last chance for redemption. Only the best come from the best. So I've gotta give it my all.

This is one of the new tracks from Eminem's new album, Recovery. Certainly inspiring and helpful to me.

Farewell for the time being, people.

Enigmatic Eclipse

Flashy title, ey? This is the fourth blog I have created. *sigh* What's wrong with me? 1st was a failure. 2nd was created when I suddenly got hyper over the vampiress. 3rd cause I cheated on Blogger and moved to tumblr. And here the reincarnation once again because I got fed up with tumblr for some of its limited functions.

Lune d'Ombre. It means 'moon shadow' in French. At first, I thought of 'shadow of the moon' but the translation 'ombre de la lune' would have been too long. I'm still keeping my tumblr as a photo album blog. It's because I just can't let go off the feature where your uploaded photos are of HD quality.

Sincere apologies for the sudden move. But I don't think I have any readers anyway. Those who're reading, support please~
