Cyberspace Fun #1

I have 2 stuffs to kill ur time for today.

The first one:
Go to www.google.com, type in the word 'FAILURE'.
Then click on the 'I'm feeling lucky' button.
Surprise surprise! (or maybe expected) =)

The second one:
Visit this site http://icreatewisdom.com/money27/
This one is rather freaky as some might say (not in the ghostly or paranormal manner). Still halfway thru figuring out how izit done.

Enjoy!

Will Spongbob Make You Gay?

Thats the title of the news i came across few days ago on the net. An old news tho...but rather 'amusing'.
So let me explain the fuss bout it. Its basically bout 2 idealogist-with-too-much-free-time going against a video made a foundation.This video was suppose to be distributed to the elementary schools in the states, promoting some sort of 'keluarga muhibah' value.

Alrite,its just a lame barney-like sing-along video with various cartoon characters in it. But those wise guys claimed its pro-homosexual. I dont see there's anything brokeback bout it. Furthermore,i think spongebob only appeared twice in the entire video. Lol.


Oh yeah,they're singing the 'We Are Family' song,which appeared to me as...very corny.

So here's the link with the video as well.

"By the way, not only did I not see any sexual identity in that, I didn't even see very much of SpongeBob either. Although Winnie the Pooh wasn't wearing pants."
=))




Maybe there is some similiarity afterall. Although Patrick just needs to biologically divide himself to repopulate his species.
Lol.

A Tribute

...To The Pets Which I've Owned
(The Biography Of The Deceased,Disappearance and 'Unfortunate' Events)

All dogs go to heaven, all goldfish be flushed down the toilet bowl and all tortoises outlive us(???). Apparently,there's aint any single pet at home right now. Whether it didnt quite 'make' it(most of em') or just ran away =) Dont misinterpret that we are cruel ppl to the animals,we fed them good ok...U'll find out why

My pets (in order of appearance)


1.Hermit crabs
I was bout 4 years old back then,so dont blame me if i cant remember all the events. My dad used to take me to morning markets to have breakfast and a walk around. Somehow at one morning,he agreed to get me something to amuse me. There's this man squating infront of a few plastic bowls. Inside,there were like whole lot of small shells...various sizes and shapes. It does move around a lil,but for some reason the crab doesnt pop out at all. Heck with it,so i just chosed a few nice,medieum-sized and clean shells. So we kept in inside this small plastic aquarium(u can still see this kinda aquariums widely used till now). And it emerged its head out!!! Yay,thts like so cool! Of course it looks sorta disgusting. Not to mention tht its darn strong. It escaped numerous times by forcing the cover off after piling up on top of each other to reach to the top (quite smart eh?) Then i'll be like "Head count,1...2...3...Hmm,This is not right. Means one is missing!!! It could be anywhere!" Lol,then it is,climbed all d way to the top of the curtains.
What happened to it? i think dad threw it away after found dead for no reason in the aquarium




2. Bird

Yes, a bird...not birdS. I dont think my dad trust my interest into pets. Wise choice. Haha. Let see what i can remember bout the bird i used to have. It was black in colour. No,i wasnt a crow. Sorta positive bout tht. Wait,even the size and appearance looks like a crow *Thinking* Nope nope,no one will sell or rare crows. Doesnt make any friggin sense

ANYWAY,the way the bird was 'transferred' from the pet shop to my house with a pretty erm...laymen way. Picture this in your head now. A mcD paperbag with numerous holes on the top section. Yups,just insert the birdie in there and lets head home! 'Tapau' the bird back. lol.


One fine day(NOT the next day),i came back from sch. found the cage's door was wide open. Of course, the bird wasnt there. Cant imagine any birds will stay still there dumbly when such opportunity came. *waves* bye birdie,i couldnt even name you yet.



3. Tortoise and terrapins
Terrapin is known as 'sui yu'(water fish) for those of you whose wondering. It looks sorta gross with it soft and squirmish shell along with its pointy head. Apparently,it doesnt last long at all. It died within 2 weeks. Not to mention stinks like crap (maybe i didnt bother to change the water) =P

Should have just boiled it as soup while its still fresh

As for the tortoise,its quite an interesting fella. We took care of it well enough. Sighted swimming happily in the plastic aquarium(remember the hermit crabs?). Once a while,dad will buy live anchovies,loads of it...and just pour it for tht fella as his meals.


Now for the sadistic part. Another fine day,me and my 2nd
sis were playin with the tortoise at the balcony,using an old spatula to carry it around. Everything looks fine UNTIL tht lil fella started to walk off the spatula!! Mind him, it was near the edge of the balcony.
"ARGHHH!!!! It jumped off the balcony!!!"
Lol,tht was the end of the tortoise's journey. Oh yeah,did i mention tht we were livin at the forth floor of the apartment? Good news, the fella's shell is still intact. Bad news,the content of the shell didnt quite make it. Haha. Talk bout suiciding reptiles.

(Something like tht,minus the happiness and Krabby Pattys)


4.Rabbits
It was 2 cute,white,furry and fat rabbits. Apparently,we seperated them front having direct contact. Just dividing the cage into 2 parts. Life cycles goes on even for bunnies. Hehe
It just lived on with extra cabbage,fruits and veggies from the kitchen. Quite convenient as a disposal bin tho.
Mysteriously,one of it just fell dead (didnt see it dropping dead lah). Alrite,at least we still have one more.
Well,till death do them part...or not. Few days later,the other rabbit died as well! Either its some outbreak or the bunny died from loneliness.How sad...

5. Cats
It was my sis' fav. Cant quite remember the name tho. Cougar and Fellie? Shud be somethin close to tht. Just two brown/orangey cats which bump around the house. They used to start running to neighbour's house (we've shifted from the apartment) and heck we gotta get them back again.
One of it gaved me a 3 inches long wound on my hand as well. Give me a break,i only accidentally stepped on ur tail!!

Basically they were everywhere. There's a time when i was lying down on the bed by the side of the window. It just jumped in and on top of me from outside. Friggin startled me. Sheesh.

Somehow,it just mysteriously dispappeared from our sight one day. Didnt came back. Still a conspiracy tht maybe my parents took it away as the cats did caused various mess and damage to the house. Oh well,just a thought bout tht.

6. Hamsters!!!
Haha,i love these guys. A productive bunch. Imagine i started off w
ith 2 of em'. 2 months later, i had like 10-15 of them.Oh yeah,their wonderful cage(or house). Aint really a cage tho. I was so amused by it as the setup of the house is completly up to ur imagination. Like playin LEGO =) Since all d entrance and parts are connectable. The pic roughly shows how it looks like. Not exactly what i had tho.

Lol,my dad is still raging bout such nonsentical and money-wasting such creation is...till today. So what happened to the hamsters in the end? Dad gave it away to the pet shop.Haha. Since apparently it multiply too fast and it stinks. Need to change d sawdust bout weekly basis.Phew,loads of trouble maintaining it tho.
One of the grossest thing i've ever seen was the mother hamster eating its child! Its not by chewing but just swallowed it by the whole. Oh goodness.

7. Fishes
This is another fun process. Apparently,my dad got the interest of keeping fishes as well. All sorts of fish in the aquarium(not the plastic one,lol). Including the one they called it as 'bandaraya fish'. It looks like a stingray which just sticks to the side of the tank. Served the purpose of sucking up all the dirt and cleans up the water as well. Being such 'good' pets owner we are,it didnt last long as well. Pretty obvious all of em' started to die off. Knowing tht great attention are needed to keep it ALIVE.Nothin much bout it tho. Just swims around aimlessly.

8. Dogs
Hall of fame for the 2 dogs we had,Kimmy and Apple. The dogs are the one we care the most. Kimmy came into the picture first as a puppy given by our neighbour. Mixed breed of spitz mainly. Fed them well enough till Kimmy became a really round white furball. As for Apple,its more like a downtown rugged dog. Another neighbour found it in the box at the roadside i think,as a puppy. So we just took care of it knowing tht it might end up at the streets if we dont. A brown coloured mix breed of German sheppard (looks like one lah at least). Apple is way bigger than Kimmy. There's a time when it knocked me off the bicycle while it runs aimlessly and being excited (darn!!).

Its a self trained dog for Apple to retrieve letters from the letterbox as soon as the mailman drops it in. Quite cool huh? Apart from the saliva-filled letterheads. Lol, it 'killed' one of my hamsters as well!! There was a time when one of my hamsters ran out of my grip,ran to a corner and i think Apple accidentally put it inside her mouth and spit it back out. Haha,as i look closer to the saliva filled hamster,its dead. Shocked to its death.

Then there's this extraordinary story bout Apple. Both of our dogs are extrmely prone to loud noises and firecrackers. During one of the CNY season,Apple started to panic after the nonstop firecrackers sessions as she was scratching the front door and creating hell load of noise. We let her wander off outside for a while,to keep her quite as well as preventing the door from being damaged further. We never see her till that day. Apparently she ran off and didnt know its way back. Since she always come back no matter how far she is.
Now's the great part. One year later, as me and my sis walked back to our house. We saw Apple sitting in front of our gate.Looked rather dirty and skinny with a thin snapped rope bein tied to her neck.She did found her way home afterall. God knows where she have been but its really suprising.

Years later, Apple started to became ill. The vet said it might been poisoned(assumed tht she eat stuffs from the garbage area outside). The medicine didnt seemed to give her any positive feedbacks. She just lay down there motionless after we came back from dinner. Kimmy was far away from her (knowing tht usually she doesnt). So we sorta guessed tht...

The loneliness feeling can be spotted on Kimmy for the first few weeks. She was rather down,not-so-active and drfiting around. Its saddening tho. Kimmy had a great life as our pet dog. Although its fat,slow and barely did anything...still a nice pet to have around. She went thru 2 critical conditions. The first was tht she was sick. It looks sorta serious as she could barely moves. So dad took the trouble to mix the medicine into the raw eggs ( she loves em' and she refused to take the meds directly). After a week,she was cured.

But the same condition repeats, a few months later. Double of everything. Especially the sickness. Age is catching up on her tho. Through day and nite, she was howling like a puppy. It was howls filled with pain. More like screaming. She refused to eat or drink anything and her body is rejecting all d food we fed her.
One nite,she just let off a slow howl and she went off peacefully(sort off)

Among all, we felt the most for the 2 dogs. Let see, had Kimmy bout 7-9 years and Apple bout 5 years.Roughly bout there. Alot of trouble taking care of them,but yeah...still are great pets.I'm sure there's a good heaven for dogs =)

Yups,tht concludes all. Chances is tht we wont be gettin any more pets. This is the one point we felt that we dont want to rare any

Exam fever

Greetings earthlings

To be exact,my previous blog was discontinued back in march 2005. Due to popular demand(or actually out of boredom=P ),decided to once again...join in the crowd!

First of all,wont be blogging bout my daily life unless something special has happened. Oh yeah,u can ask me bout it and i can tell u my daily routine of televisions and internet. The cycle is no less than 3 hours. And yeah...will be adding a personal music fav section at the end of each entry,yay!.

Its bout Oct now,knowing tht students will be mindlessly memorising god damn loads of facts which chances of using in the future is less than 0.001%. My frens did told me bout the rubbish they wrote in the answer sheets. Which reminds me bout the emails i recently received.




















This is a dellusional,hypermarket-deprived HK kid. Look at the bright side...at least he's creative enough to posses his mind from all the influence of TVB,anime and D-grade chinese movies


Effort: 7/10
Creativity:7/10
Flow of the essay: 6/10
Impact:3/10


Moving on...





















Hehe,this is a real bored Malaysian kid whose tryin to get his ass out of whatever exercise or homework he has. But what do u know? He's bein honest! Or at least sounded convincing(who doesnt wish tht was true to the circle of gossips among teachers?) I wonder if he talks to his imaginary fren at home

"Ayah-ayah sekalian...Bob nak pergi bermain kejar-kejar dgn adik Bob skrg"
=)))

Effort: 0.5/10
Creativity: 0.1/10
Flow of the essay: 2/10 (at least its still not terpesong!)
Impact: 8/10....haha,a lil out of the ordinary facts always does the trick.

And last but not least, forwarded by Sin Yee. Best essay written when you wanna show tht u tried hard enough =)







Lol,this kid is good. Judging from the paper its rather obvious tht its from a Malaysian(SPM taker i suppose? Although i cant really remember learning bout Japs)

"1 bolt 1 nat. Really tiu lo"
Thts classic =)
No prize for guessing what movies inspired him to relate with his studies

Effort: 9/10
Creativity: 10/10!!!
Flow of the essay: 9/10
Impact: 9/10

Woohoo,way to go dude...so much hard work for jsut a mark. Incorrect facts,but who cares. Its better than not tryin =)
Oh yeah,not to forget the 'anak dara' pantun. U just earned another star for urself!! Haha

Moral of the story: Its never too dull to sit for an exam and there's aint such thing as "tak tau buat lah, cikgu".
Hehe


[Personal Favourite Music]
"Love Like Winter" by AFI
(Decemberunderground album)

The tune is great...compared to some other bland emo rock songs. Looks like they did it again, being the second single after "Miss Murder"
Judging from the lyrics and music clips. Its regarding bout a broken love(who wouldnt have guess it? *rolling eyes*). So somehow it projects the dark and sorrow mood into both the clip and the music. It would be perfect if its being remastered by Pink Floyd( a band which really produced emptiness,hollow and moody tracks). By the way,it has nothin to do with my current state of my life. Lol. Just my preference. I cant really say tht the ppl in the clip is somehow beautiful. As his eyelashes is erm...like ski jump-off tracks on Alps Mountain.
