I-Am-Appalled!

Todays' news report nearly made me vomit. For the life of me, I cannot comprehend how people can cold-bloodedly kill 13 dogs!

~ click to enlarge image ~

I am not saying that the owners are not guilty and I'm not saying that they are not the root of this problem. Rearing 25 dogs confined to a small terrace house is definitely not the way to show love to the canines.

However, this random shooting is NOT the way to solve the problem. I FEEL for the owners, for the dogs. I'm sure anyone with a drop of compassion in them would have shed a tear or two, what more me an animal lover.

This is madness. This is simple barbaric. No wonder Malaysia still can't eleviate to First World status with this kind of mentality.

Dream Diary - 02

I was peeping out from the window of my room, looking out to my compound. There was a group of young dogs and chickens looking for food and I thought to myself, "Wah, dogs and chickens can live harmoniously."

Then in came a pack of dogs, ferocious looking ones. In my dream, my compound wasn't fenced up.

Then a bad dog cornered the group of dogs and chickens. Bad dog tried to hump one of the young dogs, but didn't manage to do it, just the humping action. Maybe because of all the friction, the doggie victim was on fire!

The fiery doggie tried to run away. But suddenly he is not a dog anymore but a horse! And the predator (the bad dog) turned into a tiger!

The horse, still on fire, couldn't run far. His back legs buckled and he fell. The tiger gave a loud roar and feasted on the horse. The horse's legs were trashing on the wet ground and droplets of muddy water splashed onto my face.

I was crying and tried to tilt the shutters and drew the curtains trying to fend off the muddy drops of water.

Then somehow the rest of the good pack of animals made their way to the opposite house.

A lady was not sure if she should open the door for the animals or not, so I screamed from my room, "Let them in! Let them in!"

The lady then opened the door for all the good doggies and chickens and then I woke up.

Gorgeous Women Making the Rounds ....

... AGAIN!

It seems that these women are from China. And they ARE drop dead gorgeous, believe me.

AND they are once again on the prowl.... going to places with lots of human traffic, for example, the local wet market.

What they do is to zoom in on a target then approach target on the pretext of asking for directions, and once target looks directly at them (face or eyes), somehow they manage to pukau (charm) target and then their accomplice, usually a man, will drive over and target (now victim) will automatically follow them in their car and guess where will they send victim to?

To the bank to withdraw money!

This is not a joke.

My own late grandma was one of the victims of a similar modus operandi and she withdrew MYR15,000 in one lump sum for them.

Can you imagine losing MYR15,000 in under an hour? It's worse than losing in Genting, I guess.

What recourse does a victim have? NONE.

What can the police do? There's no way for a victim to even hope to recover the money.

It took my grandma a few hours to recollect herself and to finally manage to let us know what happened to her that morning. By then, the fraudsters had already fleed town.

Targets usually are the following:

1. elderly
2. female
3. looks quite well to do
4. on foot

Therefore, be alert and don't loiter around.

Wah I Really Cannot Imagine

Did you receive the latest issue of Pointers magazine from BonusLink? I got mine this morning.

In their recent "One Swipe Could Change Your Life" Contest, one lady by the name of Christina Tiau won the grand prize and her prize package consisted of the following:

1. Brand new Volvo S40 [it may not be a limo, but still WAH!!!!]
2. One million BonusLink points
3. OSIM products
4. 2 X 1 year free Shell fuel vouchers and Shell Helix Service packages
5. 2 X 1 year free Maxis talk time
6. Cellini home furnishing vouchers worth MYR20,000
7. 1 year Parkson shopping vouchers
8. 1 year MBF Card with spending money
9. 4 X Goodyear F1 tyres
10. 2 X Pathlab exclusive health screen package worth MYR888
11. 2 X Sony Ericsson K7501 mobile phones

Can you imagine winning all these items? I really cannot..... me and my ass luck, always only good enough for some cheapo plastic pen or the most, a miserable movie pass!

*sigh*
*sigh*
*sigh*
*sigh*
*sigh*

I'd be happy just to win only ONE of the items that Christina won (how about the Vovlo, eh?).... and she was lucky enough to win the whole package. I must say, that's one monster package.

Some people have all the luck and too bad, that person is not me :-/

Update 01 ~ How To Get Back My $$$??

With reference to my post dated 19th June, 2006 on How To Get Back My $$$?, thank you for leaving a comment and giving me support, encouragement and COURAGE.

As soon as I posted that entry, I approached my friend via MSN chat on 19th June, 2006. I didn't want direct confrontation.

Here's a gist of our conversation:

Me: [name] you remember I loaned you some money? I need back by end of August. Is it possible?
Him: Sure, will try.
Him: I remember.
Him: Didn't try to avoid.
Me: I know. If you don't have by then, I'll be in big trouble.
Him: You give me your account details la. When I have, I go bank in little by little.
Me: [Gives bank details]
Him: Wait, I record in my handy
Him: You need all or can I give what I can?
Me: You pay what you can first but I really need all by the end of August, 2006.
Him: All right, will try.
Him: I really hope I can return fast. Knowing your financial situation, was hoping to do it end of this year [he has a large sum of money coming in mid-2007, actually, and NOT end of this year, as he thinks]
Me: I'm asking you now to give you time to save up
Him: Just paid road tax and insurance [he's driving a Wira]
Me: I also don't like to ask back lah.
Him: OK OK will try to look for it.
Him: Not angry, don't worry. [He has a right meh?] Just don't know how now. Will sure to have answers later.
Him: 2 other guys already I started paying.
Him: Got July & August, another 2 over months.
Him: Don't worry too much. Will put yours top priority.
Me: OK
Him: So how are you and [name]?
Me: [name] well already after 3 weeks. Me took care of him, really exhausting. He couldn't walk. Luckily he has recovered.
Him: What's my Christian name?
Me: [name]
Me: Why?
Him: Your English don't sound like you.
Me: Aiyo it's me lah.
Him: Sked it was [your] papa or koko mah.
Me: Crazy you.
Him: Thought they found out about the loan and pressure you.
Me: They dont know, must not let them know.
Him: Now so many debt, 2 still paying interest. Back date sumore, that's why no savings to repay you. [he was jobless for 8 months]
Me: If I have a choice, I also don't want to ask back now lah.
Him: eeeee not scold you la [he has a right meh?], it's just bad timing.
Me: bla bla bla
Him: Go to Singapore also no allowance [sent by company]. Lousy company. Kuhorn company [I found him this job].
Me: bla bla bla
Him: This month room rental also raised by MYR50. Now MYR550 per month lor. Electricity lor.

It's the end of June now, and I'm still waiting for his money, which I hope he can pay some from his June paycheck. Like he said, there are three paychecks to deduct from, but to me, he doesn't sound promising at all. His replies are also half-hearted only and from 19th June, he hasn't talked to me at all .......

We'll see then.

Arth WANTS More Wicked Boxer Shorts BUT ......

Thanks to Project Petaling Street, I came across Arth's blog, and I read that his reader sent him 3 pairs of boxer shorts recently, which he sportingly camwhored in them and shamelessly (hahaha) posted the pix on his blog.

Now, I do not know Arth personally, and I have no malice towards him.

However, I've got a bright idea. Why don't we start a campaign and each of his fan chip in a bit of money and send him ladies' thongs & strings (instead of his requested wicked boxers) and have him pose in them?

That would be sooooo hilarious :D :D :D

I got this idea because my best pal, Cyberpartygal, runs a WebStore selling primarily ladies' lingerie and she tells me that the majority of her customers are men AND these men told her that the lingerie are for THEMSELVES *gasp*

Is that possible?

Dare Arth take up the challenge to be our model? muahahaha

I Hate Word Verification

I hate the word verification thingy that we have to pass in order to leave a comment on a blog or to register for an e-mail address or some account at various websites.

I don't know why, I ALWAYS get the characters wrong! And then I'm asked to enter the characters exactly as displayed. I thought I did it exactly already?

Is there something wrong with my eyes or is it my brain? Am I not human enough?

Am I a bot? hahahaha

Fried Sperm, Anyone?

The other day, I watched this hilarious Korean comedy called Saekjeuk Shigong. Its international title is "Sex is Zero". It's said to be THE Korean version of American Pie.

I have watched American Pie 1 & 2, but they are nothing compared to "Sex is Zero". Maybe I do not get corny American jokes, but I don't know, both American Pies just did not make a lasting impression on my mind like how "Sex is Zero" did. In fact, in my opinion, American Pie 2 was even lamer than the first one.

Let me tell you, after watching "Sex is Zero", I will never look at think of sperm in the same way again. And I bet your mind will be similarly corrupted, should you watch this movie.

In "Sex is Zero", a bunch of university guys ran out of eggs and one guy proceeded to masturbate, ejaculated into a frying pan and FRIED it!

All together now, "EEEEWWWWWWW"

According to their Biology teacher, egg and sperm are basically protein so there's not much difference between the two, except for the missing yolk!

What was to follow in the movie after the frying of sperm was funny like hell but you gotta watch it to find out, cos I'm not going to spoil it for you.

I've heard of people swallowing sperm RAW, hence the question oft asked, "Spit or swallow?" but to fry???

Next time, if you were asked this Q, you can reply, "I FRY." muahahahaha

Maybe it'll be more delicious to add some chopped "char siew", spring onion and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Who wants to take up the challenge of creating great fried sperm recipes?

On Bridal Cars and Being Cursed

I recently had a conversation with a friend who told me that his soon-to-be-married friend has loaned a Proton Waja as the bridal car.

And me being so naive, asked, "Huh, Waja also can be bridal car meh?"

Friend: Why not? As long as it's a car can lah... My sister got married in an Iswara only.

Me: Bridal car must use luxury cars like limo or Benz mah

Friend: Wahhh ... you think everyone is so rich ar?

Me: Not rich la, it's a once in a lifetime thingy, sure must be a bit grand lor

Friend: You think marriage is once in a lifetime ar?

Me: Well, at least the bridal couple started off with that intention!

Friend: If you want your wedding to be so grand, then no money no need to get married lah?

Me: ...... (aiya curse me?)

How To Get Back My $$$??

I have this problem here that has been bugging me for some time.

Over the past two and a half years, I loaned my friend some money (three times totalling MYR2K). He was financially tight and then he was jobless for 8 long months, so I helped him all I could.

I found him his current job, and I think it's a good paying job (MYR8K per month), but he still says it's not enough since he has to service his car instalment, room rental, loans (but not mine) plus the high cost of living in KL, etc.

Well, who will ever have enough money, right?

Now, the question is, how do I ask back my money, as I know I'll be needing it in about three months' time. Initially, I told him that he can take his time in repayment, AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE USE OF IT YET.

Don't you think 2.5 years is too a long time to repay a small loan like MYR2K? It's not that I regret giving him the loan, and if I myself is not desperate for money, I wouldn't even bother to ask back but I think I have given him ample time to stand back on his feet, after all, it's been six months since he started working again.

He told me that as soon as he secured this job, his creditors were all chasing back their money. I don't want to be clumped into that group of creditors, since I am a friend, first and foremost and he has helped me before, in some other ways.

Shall I ask now and give him some time to save up money, or do I ask only when I really need the money?

Haiihh I really don't like to do this and wish there's someone who can help me to approach him, but I can't since we're keeping this arrangement between ourself only.

Oh, whattodo, whattodo???

Papa & I

Those who know me well know that I have a long standing issue with papa. It has caused many arguments between us as well as between concerned friends & myself too. Ya, it is that bad.

People all say he's irrational and I do agree but I understand why he's acting this way, doing the things he does on us. What can I do? One can choose friends, but cannot choose family.

Father's Day and his birthday always bring me sadness because I wish that our relationship is better, but I know it will only get worse as time passes and if he continues to take his stand. How can I change his mindset? Age hasn't seem to mellow him. If anything, he has gotten more headstrong.

The fact that I am not taking any drastic rebellious action does not mean that I agree with his actions.

Friends say I am also to be blamed and the fault is as much as mine to be stuck in this situation. Partly true but they don't really know the kind of things I went through trying to be released from this grip. It pains me every time this issue comes into discussion.

I am thankful to have friends who let me know that my life is definitely abnormal and yet accept me as I am, until I have found the courage to break free. Thanks for standing by me and supporting me.

Perhaps as I become older, I will understand him better and come to forgive him and at the same time, I pray that the day of the volcanic eruption will never arrive.

Today, Father's Day, I can't bring myself to wish him "Happy Father's Day" face to face. Isn't it sad?

Attic Cat : Cat in a Rooftop Room / Cats on the Roof / Rooftop Room Cat / Rooftop Romance

Actually, at first, I didn't want to blog on this Korean drama, Attic Cat, but then I found out something dem funny that I thought I MUST share with you, especially if you have already watched this drama, or currently watching it, or plan to watch it soon.

But before that, allow me the customary n00b review on this drama. Don't worry, I'm not going to be long-winded and write a synopsis.

The gist of this romance drama is like this:

Nam Jung-eun loves Lee Kyung-min who loves Na Hye-ryun who loves Yoo Dong-joon who loves Nam Jung-eun

This is not a triangle love, but a RECTANGLE LOVE or is it CIRCULAR LOVE?!?

I can sympathize with Jung-eun. It's never easy to love someone and convinced that the love will never be reciprocated. That's why my father always say, "Marry the man who loves you, not the man you love" which means, marry the man who loves you more than you love him.

This drama was the 2003 Korean Drama of the Year and lead actor Kim Rae Won won the 2003 Korean Actor of the Year award for his portrayal in Attic Cat.

Not surprising that it has its cult following as it touched on co-habitation and premarital sex in conservative Korea, although as the drama went on, even 16 episodes became too draggy for me.

I was fed-up with the cad that Kyung-min was and, despite having watched quite a few Korean dramas, I still cannot tolerate the shouting and screaming nor the slurping eating noises. Perhaps these are an exaggeration but don't they realise it's been overdone?

If this goes on in my next few K-dramas, I might go back to serials from TVB. It's so off-putting.

After watching a few K-dramas, it seems like the norm for singles of marriageable age to go on blind dates, while in Goong, it was a blind marriage, but that's kinda expected for Royals lar.

I didn't like the whiner Kyung-min who kept harping on the following repeatedly:

1. Difficulty of the Bar exam
2. His love for Hye-ryun
3. His love for meat
4. bla bla bla

.......... he's so selfish that only Jung-eun can tolerate him.

Interestingly, the actress that was Jung-eun's mother was also Kim Sam Soon's mother. She's quite a good actress =)

Attic Cat focused too much on meal times and food. If a tune is repeated once too often, people say that it's a broken record, in this case, it seemed like a broken video.

Also, the sound track was so LCLY sounding. One of the songs was nice though, and it has two versions. One was performed by a lady, another performed by a man. The lady sounds like an auntie while, worse, the man sounds like a grandpa.

Now, the music and lyrics are very meaningful but I don't know why they have to spoil it by choosing singers who do not have the appropriate voice to carry out the beautiful song.

They should have asked Lee Hyun Woo [Yoo Dong-joon] to perform the song, cos guess what, he is a singer! You may ask what's so funny about that, and what was the joke that I just have to share to make me blog on Attic Cat, well check THIS OUT.

I know, it STILL is not funny....not until you watched the video for "Please Don't Stop". Oh God, I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Never knew Mr. Kayu was like that some ten years ago. That's why la, "Never judge a book by its cover." hahahaha

Having said all the above doesn't mean I did not enjoy Attic Cat. There were moments where I laughed, but it didn't make me cry, failed to touch my heart or make a connection with me most of the time, but this is just my personal opinion.

I wish I can tell you now to excuse me while I go feed my cat, but I don't have one, unfortunately.

Passing of a Chat Buddy

Yesterday, we received the sad news that one of our old chat buddies has passed away from nose cancer.

I would like to convey my deepest sympathy to the Ng family on the demise of a great provider, father and friend.

He had requested for cremation upon his death and to scatter his ashes in the South China Sea, in the hopes of floating back to China to be reunited with his roots, and his family has done according to his wish.

The Chinese believe that there is a day for birth and a time for death. If death is the only option, then let it release him from earthly sufferings.

For the dear departed, we hope that he has broken free from the life cycle of BIRTH > AGEING > SICKNESS > DEATH > REINCARNATION (Samsara).

Watched Fearless on Original VCD

Image courtesy of Fearless

I had the opportunity to watch Jet Li's Fearless on VCD recently when my friend tumpang me to buy an original copy for him.

So before I passed the disc to him, I watched first la hehehe sssshhh don't tell him :p

It was such a long time ago that I watched an original VCD. Who in their right mind would buy original VCD nowadays? There are so many *cheaper* alternatives hehehe

I was surprised to see that the quality of a supposedly original VCD, with the TULEN sticker and all, is not really that good. The video quality was passable, audio also OK-lah but the subtitles not OK at all wor. It's all a blur. Maybe I'm just fussy *shrug*

I really don't think it's worth the money paying MYR19.90 for it. Another place was selling it at MYR17.90 but they were out of stock and I was lazy to make a second trip there lah. So might as well go to a nearby shop and pay MYR2 more.

Anyway, if you like Jet Li or Shaolin Kung fu, then go ahead and watch Fearless. Get the DVD better. Michelle Yeoh was to have appear in Fearless as well, but somehow all her scenes were edited from the final cut. Don't know why.......

Fearless is supposed to be Jet Li's last Kung fu action role. Rogue has no kung fu, I think....

Whoa Celcom SO Good!

I received sms from Celcom informing that now they have this service called REVERSE CHARGE SMS.

Wah, so dem good ler. Can sms and let the recipient pay for it hehehe, but of course, I think the recipient must agree to accept sms from a particular mobile number first gua. Maybe need to register somewhere first.

I went to Celcom website for further information but there's no mention on this Reverse Charge SMS also... but I didn't try to send SMS to 22333 lah.

This is the perfect service for me, since my phone always no credit or suspended.

I play, you pay lorrr =)

Aiya I've Been Booked ....

.......... by my friend to attend his house warming party in two years' time!

You may wonder why two years from now... because he hasn't even started to build his bungalow. It's still in planning and waiting for approval from the relevant authorities!

The building is only expected to begin at the end of this year, and building a bungalow takes at least eight to twelve long months and then some time is required for furnishing it.

The house warming party is only scheduled some time in late 2007 or early 2008. That's a looooong way from now.

I'm the type of person who lives one day at a time and I don't even know what will happen tomorrow, let alone in two years' time. Maybe by then he & I would have gotten into a big fight and become sworn enemies. Maybe a slight misunderstanding also would cause our friendship to be estranged like this. Guys are, after all, siew hei gwais (small gas ghosts).

Aiya I headache la... if I were to attend, what gift can I get him? He already has everything that he wants. He's a millionaire, for goodness sake.

I can't get him a personal gift, as it's not his birthday. A house-warming is a family thingy. Get something for the house then? He is gonna furnish it with imported stuff, my budget doesn't allow me to match that.

I need ideas. Can anyone help? I'm desperate ...... need to start saving money from now on .........

Oowww Oxy Burnt My Skin

I followed Dan of Acne.org's advice of applying acne cream on the whole face and neck and it worked.... well, sort of.

Dan says one needs to apply on the neck as well because if only the face area is applied, the acne will start popping out in the neck area. It's sort of like the acne running away from the acne cream. Yes, some might pop out along the hairline too.

Mind you, not any ol' acne cream will work, but only those with the ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide.

Dan says to use only those with 2.5% or maximum 5% of Benzoyl Peroxide as 10% would be too strong.

I've been using Neutrogena On-the-Spot with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. It's very expensive, MYR17+ (after discount!) for a minuscule tube of 21g!

So I changed to Oxy5 (5% Benzoyl Peroxide) which was selling at MYR8+ (after discount) for a larger tube of 25g. Wahhh what a price difference. Oxy smells better too.

For the first few applications, I was OK, but now my face feels tight and red and swollen. My neck is so ugly and itchy I keep scratching it like a monkey myself!

I don't know if my neck will ever recover. I might have to wear turtle-necks forever and in this heat, I might end up suffocating, or at least suffer from heat stroke.

And then I'll only have myself to sue (follow American culture mar)

Sigh so I guess it's either to burn myself by using cheaper Oxy or burn my pocket by using the more expensive but milder Neutrogena On-the-Spot :-/

Tai Yee Loongs in the Biggest Game on Earth

Finally the 2006 FIFA World Cup has commenced. What was the hoo-haa all about? I also don't know.... well, I'd watch if the footballers were to play naked BUT .... =)

Since most guys I know will be busy with the games, that'll leave me with some peace for a month! Woohoo that's great. Otherwise, they like to kacau me, and I don't know how to tell them that I have no time to entertain them.

The ones who would be REALLY busy would be the tai yee loongs (loan sharks). The case mentioned by Jason Mumbles is really mild, compared to what happened to my poor friend here.

Take a good look at this news report (left) which was published in The Star on 7th April, 2006. Click on the image to enlarge it.

This post is actually a community service message.

Hopefully, I can change the mind of any football punter who was thinking of taking out a "small" loan from the tai yee loongs to *gasp* bet on football games!!!

Lest you don't know, the loan from tai yee loongs may be small, but the snowballing interest is not a joke.

And these tai yee loongs will not be as bold if they do not have the protection from higher authorities. Action needs to be taken against them, but has there been any?

By the way, did you know that tai yee loongs are now known as "Financial CONsultants"? This tells us a lot about how they operate their business, right?

So, wise up.... there's no easy money, and even if one has the luck in making money by gambling, the profits never last.

Remember this!

New Game For My Lazy Brain

My sister introduced me to the game called Sudoku. I have known about it for a long time but have never played it before cos I heard that it could be very addictive. Even YB Dato' Seri Rafidah Aziz confessed her addiction to it. That was why I dared not play risk it.

My sis thinks I'd be good in this game. According to her, I'm good with numbers. Wahaha what a joke, me good? Me who flunked my SPM Additional Math?!? Seems like she doesn't know me well.

I have this lazy brain that I hate to exert. Whenever I need to use it, I'll get all stressed out and end up vomiting and get gastric pangs.

Anyway, I've tried playing Sudoku from HERE and in the first game, I had two more lines to solve but too lazy to backtrack. I won my 2nd and 3rd games.

Yoohoo... beginner's luck? It's getting addictive =)

Playing Sudoku online is so much easier than the conventional paper, pencil and eraser. At least with an online game, one need not make as much corrections.

I used to play Bejeweled2 alot. It may look like a nobrainer type of game, but it actually takes a bit of brain juice to score.

It beats the lame MS Game of Solitaire anytime, which is only played when the internet is dead.

I'm Not Moody, Just MOODLESS

I'm moodless lately. Yep, that's right, not moody but moodless, absolutely zombified. Moody still has a mood, the mood is, well, MOODY, but moodless means no mood at all.

Don't want to do anything except to lie in bed. Don't want to blog, have nothing to blog on.

It's all because my pet monkey is sick. It all started with wounds on both his elbows. Don't ask me how his elbows can be injured but somehow, capillaries there burst and accumulated quite a sac of liquid in his elbows. And the sacs got bigger and bigger until they burst.

So there was blood everywhere and I had to follow him around to wipe so that the carpet won't be bloodied. He wouldn't let me bandage his elbows.

If that wasn't enough, he caught the flu bug and had fever, runny nose and cough. Have you seen an animal coughing out phlegm? This is the first for me too. Eeewww

And as if having pain in both arms still wasn't enough, he had to fall down the steps and hurt his leg. Due to his massive weight, he can hardly walk, not even going for pee or poo.

He passed me the flu virus and I ran a fever for two days.

Plus he keeps whimpering at night due to the pain and naturally, all these have KILLED my mood.

So now I'm totally MOODLESS.

What About the Opposite?

Sometime back, I read this post. It made me think of a friend of mine, whose mother suddenly passed away on his birthday.

He was still in primary school then. He was only told about it when he returned from school. Imagine the shock.

He's now almost 40 years old and the memory is still so fresh in his mind that he can never bring himself to celebrate his birthday.

I don't even know if I should wish him "Happy Birthday" or get him a gift since it's always his mother's death anniversary.

I pity him for having to carry this burden throughout his life.

......... the Korean drama on life in modern-day Korean Imperial Palace.

In my opinion, 24 hourly long episodes are a tad too long. Usually, K-dramas come in 16 or 20 episodes. In my eagerness to find out the ending, I spent last night watching the last four episodes in one sitting, until 3am. Whoa, no wonder my eyes are like panda bear's :-)

The actors and actresses did really well in carrying out their respective roles, considering all of them are first-timers. The two actors are cute in their own way, but not very leng chai by my standards. Woooeee I DID NOT fall in lurve with either one.

The two actresses are pretty but sayang la Yoon Eun Hye doesn't have a perfect set of teeth. However, there was chemistry between the actors and actresses.

The first third of this drama was very funny, when the Crown Princess was fumbling her way in the Imperial Palace. Her antics made her so sweet and adorable it's no wonder that the guys fell for her.

Also, there was a "Prince William" visiting from the United Kingdom. Hahaha this actor bears a slight resemblance to the real Prince William, but this guy is a bit more mature and his face is a bit fatter. It was very amusing, though. I bet the cast and crew laughed their guts out too.

The second third of the drama showed the fight for the heart of the Crown Prince. One girl already gave him up but wanted him back. She should have just let go, instead of making all parties involved hurt and miserable.

The last third shows the struggle for power in the Imperial Household. Some evil underhanded tactics were used just to gain power. Sorry, no spoilers, so you gotta watch to find out.

From the second half onwards, prepare lots of tissue. There's so much tears, one can't help getting all emo. It's so touching to watch guys cry ;-p

Things to look out for:
** Teddy bears in costumes reenacting memorable scenes at the end of almost every episode
** The old Queen watching My Name is Kim Sam Soon on TV
** In Macau, a male dog was pissing in the background

What I don't like about K-dramas, actually I've already mentioned here, are the SHOUTING and the loud eating noises. I find those eating noises very irritating. In Goong, there were these elements too. I'm beginning to think these are common traits in Koreans.

I'm really thankful to the team of fans who worked tirelessly to bring us the English subtitles. Without them, I won't be able to enjoy Goong as much.

Also, if you like Goong, then look out for Season 2 which is scheduled to be screened on Korean TV in February, 2007. Non-Korean speaking viewers will have to wait for awhile more for the subs.

P/S: After soooooo many days, I'm still looping the soundtrack in my player! Aishh I'm a romantic at heart.

3 Songs I'm Currently Looping

06.06.06 - 06:06:06

On 6th June, 2006 at 06:06:06, I'd probably still be in bed, but I'd just like to make this post to mark this special date and time for good luck. (6 sounds like LUCK in Hokkien, although I'm not Hokkien myself) :-p

3 Songs I'm Currently Looping

I'm currently watching the K-drama called Goong (also known as Imperial Household or Princess Hours) and am totally in love with three of the songs from the official soundtrack.

I have saved these three songs into a playlist and loop this playlist in my player over and over again for like one week already and still not bored yet.

Normally, I will get bored but since these songs are in Korean, which I do not understand, I can listen to them the whole day without vomitting =)

I can loop my foreign-language songs but I cannot watch a movie over and over again, like a friend of mine who watched a movie from sunset to sunrise. If that movie was 2 hours long, that would be at least THREE (!) replays.

Another friend of mine watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 more than 10 times over a span of a month ... I bet he had already memorized the script from the first line to the last, including the lyrics for all soundtracks!

Anyway, the following are what I have looped. I've included download links and lyrics in romanized Korean and its translation for better understanding of the songs.

Petticoat in the Tropics?

Chatting with my friend brought back memories of our stupid school rules. We were both from premier all-boys and all-girls missionary schools in this cowboy town.

He told me that now, his school requires all students to wear a number on their name tag. Apparantly, a name is not enough.

Schools in Malaysia are regimented enough not to make students feel like they are in the army.

Or worse, students might feel as if they are being treated like convicts, where numbers are assigned to each prisoner.

For my school, I wonder if the rule to wear petticoats is already abolished. The people who approved this rule must have been out of their minds, and do not realise that we are living in hot & humid Malaysia.

Aahhh I remember how troublesome it was having to wear a petticoat, and some of us, including myself, wear shorts inside as well. So, that's a total of 4 layers of clothing below waist.

Some wear double panties on bad days of the month (those days, sanitary napkins don't come with wings). And that makes FIVE frigging layers of clothing!

Hahaha Thinking back, I wonder how we survived those looooong years. We girls must have looked quite bulky, eh? :p

Haihh... does wearing petticoats make us better students? Better citizens? Nah, I don't think so but it did make me shun wearing petticoats after I left school. Ahhh blissssss

How Else to Save Electricity???

Since electricity tariff has raised and soon, water tariff too, living in Perak, I'm evaluating my electricity usage and see how best I can lower my usage.

Here's my evaluation:

High:
Computer
Hair dryer
Lights & fan

Moderate:
TV

Low:
Blender
Toaster
Lawn mower
Radio / CD Player

None
Iron
Kettle
Refrigerator
Water heater
Air-conditioning
Microwave over / oven

I really dunno how else to cut down on usage. No computer, no life.

The only option I can think of is to go bald. Then I can save on shampoo, water, electricity, time & energy.

Should I try? :p

Life is Full of Pranks, NO?

Last night, I was trying to download a Korean song which I like, after watching an episode of K-drama. Now, if you have read my blog from the beginning, you'll know I'm running a K-fever.

So, there were options to download the full OST album or download song by song. As I only like one particular song, I didn't opt for the full OST album.

Since I do not read Korean and do not know the title of the song that I want, I don't know which song to download from the pool of 17 songs. So I just tembak saje lah.

Of course, I was given the option to stream the music files, but I hate to stream with Screamyx. It makes me vomit blood.

So downloading one by one was my choice.

Unfortunately, each and every song that I downloaded was not the one I wanted. And you know what, the song that I wanted, I downloaded it LAST! You say I mung (frustrated) or not? Of all the songs available, I picked it LAST and ended up having the full album now! Arrghh

Come to think of it, every time I fancied wearing a particular piece of clothing, it just has to be the bottom most piece in a pile of clothings, stashed at the back corner of the wardrobe.

And every time when I am looking for a particular document, it just has to be in a file that's last in the pile... (oh yay, it rhymes!)

Every time when I desperately wanted to look for something, I end up wasting lots of time moving irrelevant stuff. Why can't things be conveniently found?

I wonder if I'm the only one in this world who always KENA .........

Of KLIMS and Leng Luis

My crazy friend drove all the way to KL for KLIMS 2006, that's over two hours on the road, just for KLIMS. And it was not for free. He had to fork out RM15 entrance fee sumore. Worth it meh?

He's thinking of making another trip there soon cos apparantly, spending "only" 3+ hours there and snapping almost 200 photos is not enough. According to him, one needs at least five hours there, an hour for each exhibition hall, not including unlimited time for each girl hihihihi

Is the attraction in the cars or the girls?

I see (from his photos lah) that the uniform of the promoters are getting skimpier and skimpier. Blame it on global warming. Okla, so the cars exhibited in KLIMS are no Ordinary Joe's work horse and they need some extra accessories. But how many KLIMS visitors can ever dream of owning one of those cars in this lifetime?

Is there a need for models to wear hankies as clothes for these other exhibitions as well?

1. Computers (PC Fair)
2. Adult Video Audio Visual
3. Streamyx --> Cheap only wat, also need model promoters meh?
4. Beer --> Already mabuk, model or grandma also won't realise wan
5. Others that I never even heard of

Can anyone answer my question above, please?

These girls not afraid meh, thousands of strangers taking their photos then go home and dunno do what with the photos. Maybe some sicko will tar fei kei with them, since Malaysia "banned" Playboy mah hehehe

What if one of the many cameras were equipped with this KAYA PF1 filter?? aiiyyaa it's a bad, bad world out there!

Pppssssttt .... To anyone who hasn't had enough of eye candy and still wants to view more leng lui photos, drop me a comment and I'll pass you the link to his online photo album. No guarantee that it will be open for public viewing. He might change it to private anytime. So be quick.......
