had this really weird dream yesterday: was driving along this road - not sure where it was but it was near a port. it couldn't hv been port klang cos the coast line could be seen on my left when i noticed that the water levels were abit high, and i commented "shit, looks as if there's a tsunami gonna happen or something.." when almost immediately the waves hit the roads and flooded everything. since i was driving an SUV (my trusty blue CRV), i wasnt really bothered by this and just went thru it and drove to higher ground where it wasn't so flooded.

well, anyway we (i think i was with my sister) then went to a shopping mall (dont ask me why - maybe cos its higher?) when i noticed that even the malls were starting to get flooded on the higher floors. hmm, wonder wat happened to the lower floors? nevermind.. but i walked out to one of the balconies only to see a K Line (a Jap shipping co) vessel being pulled helplessly by the currents in a river, banging the sides of the bank and eventually sinking out of view after colliding with yet another K Line vessel. Now this is really weird cos how in the world did that mega container vsl get into such a small river like that (the river couldn't hv been bigger or deeper than the klang river) and most importantly how in the world did the vessels sink out of sight in such an odd manner (think tipping over and going under head 1st) in a river?!

generally everyone was in a state of panic - it was as if it was the end of the world with everything being flooded with water. too bad i can't really remember how it ended, but generally i think everyone was ok (maybe we had to make do with living in a shopping mall for a couple of weeks or something), hehe..

weird shit, but then again aren't most dreams?

its 10pm and u're hungry and there's no food at home. whats the 1st place that comes to mind? 10 bucks says that u'd be off to the nearest mamak with ur mate (this of course applies only to malaysians living in malaysia).

anyway, mamaks are a phenomenon that came about only at the most 10 years back - well, or at least 24 hr ones are anyway. know this for a fact cos back then when we used to sneak out for a drink in the wees hours in the morning, there wasn't exactly much of a choice when it came to places to hang out at that time. it was either seroja (which by the way is already non-existent) or seroja (haha, i meant another branch further down the road in port klang). i believe its more or less the same elsewhere too although its alil better in subang since there are many lifeless outstationers there, but as far as i remember there's only that 'starhill' place (which incidently is also non-existent now).

basically the whole point of this post is that mamaks are a product of our generation. i believe that many of our parents just dont get wats such a big deal about mamaks - although i have noticed that there are some who hv embraced it, although not at a scale that we youngsters hv - hanging out all night there, that is. so if mamaks came about when our generation, where did our parents' generation hang out to get their supper fixes?

well, i remember when i was much much younger (think circa 1990s) whenever my parents felt like supper, we'd go out to this place in port klang - it'd be a marketplace in the day, and a hawker centre at nights (dat was no typo dawg, i'd be trying my hand out at 'street-talking'.. hmm, watever =P). anyway, that place although dark, gloomy and dirty was like super happening - it was as if there whole damned klang was having their supper there every single night. everyone'd be eating fried noodles (hokkien mee), loh mee, fried kuay tiao - basically stuff that u can get fm ur average tai chau (ermm.. big fried? hehe). now fast forward to present day and that place is now quarter full (or empty, up 2 u) - perhaps there might be a crowd during dinner time, but after that its pretty quiet. my point here is that basically its not as happening as it was 10 years ago.

so where did all the customers go? 2 possibilities:

1. his cust consisted of the older generation & they all kyiok liao, ermm i mean health-conscious
2. all of them went to mamaks cos its more happening there

come to think of it, how many happening tai chaus do u see operating in the wee hours of the night these days. i dont mean those that hv a stall in those 24 hour foodcourt cum hawker centre places. i mean those traditional one store-one anchor tai chau types. i'm not saying that they've disappeared, but how many of them are still happening? or perhaps i should rephrase my question to when was the last time u had tai chau in the wee hours of the morning? my answer to that would be about 7 years ago. i'm not even sure if that place is still open today.

hmmm.. what have we, the younger generation done? are we killing (or hv already killed off) the supper tai chau industry?

was driving down to melaka and stopped at the lights when i noticed this:


no biggie, just a regular car- but wait, are my eyes fooling me..?


nooooooooooo.. sonofabitch! sonofabitch! they killed tweety!!!


have a closer look:



this is terrible! ppl down in melaka are such monsters!! although they do make killer satay celups, ball chicken rice and oh chien (fried oysters).. heheahaha

Free (By The Martinis)

Omnipresent phrase in my mind
Spoken word I've said one million times
Who are you to tell me it'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me

Always try to breeze through my life
Repetitious things I've done one million times
Who are you to tell me that I'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

What could I do
What would you do
It's not such a terrible thing

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
Lost because I wanna be lost
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me

funny pic of the day: visit this clinic if u want to feel "sock" (shiok?). hmmm, sounds abit obscene, but rest assured i think its a legitimate clinic =P

ok, here's something really funny (or stupid, u decide). the haze was bad over the week right? so i decided to make a trip up to penang to escape it and guess wat? the #!*% haze followed me up north!

and u know whats the best part? the weather was clear and haze-less in klang at the time i took this pic at batu ferringhi. sighh..

check out the haze today .. visibility in klang valley was down to about 50ms. worst part is that u can actually smell the haze - feels thick and smoky. *cough* oh, this pic was taken on the KLIA highway.

my new toy.. isn't she a beauty? =D

lifeless geekness maximus

i just downloaded a game for my handphone from the maxis site (yes, i'm THAT bored) and *gasp dare i say it?* i'm addicted to it! its really fun - its a mini (yes, that cute 'italian job' car we all love) racing game whose background is in ur house (yes, think domestic house). kewl... heck, it only cost me rm5 for this download. it was worth it! =)

now this brings me to my next rant - i now need a phone with a bigger screen! i'm straining my eyes here trying to figure out wats happenin on that lil screen! i know, excuses excuses.. but hey, can u blame me? even skool kids these days scurry around with brand-spanking-new state-of-the-art mobiles! so can u actually blame a guy still using a 2 year old phone (that doesnt even have a camera!)?! i think not.

oh, if u're interested to see whats the game about, u can check it out here.

do ur bid for charity pls..

a bunch of malaysian bloggers have set up a collaborative blog to help raise some funds for charity. How this works is they will blog non stop for 24 hrs - do check them out if u have the time (it ends at 9pm tonite tho). Read all about it here.

entrepreneurial byotch

anyone heard of samantha lim from singapore? well, neither have i at 1st but i just got to know that she's this weird byotch that sells her (in her own words) juicy panties online. u think thats weird? check out what she sez about em:

"I'm so sexily sweat out during the hot day where I live. My skin is hot, moist & nicely scented like I'm wet & wild in bed......wanna know how it is like? Click on my soiled wear now, I'll rush them to you..".

what the fuck is wrong with her?! now thats not the worst part: apparently she's also into:

"..all finest things in life, from an exquisite watch, diamond jewelry, sofa, home furnishing, lingerie to a complete set of aromatic after-bath toiletries to pamper my sensual body. You may spoil me specifically on my birthday (28 March) or just any other day when you feel the urge of showering Me to get Me excited thinking of your gift of LOVE. This would definitely PLEASE ME! In return, I may even reciprocate this goodwill by sending you one of my sexy juicy thongs/panties for your worship and keep."

what can i say but, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. this is like the lamest thing ever. i guess no one is dumb enough to willingly fork out cash to buy her "GIFTS OF LOVE", so guess what she decided to do? she created a fetish site and she's now Mistress Samantha. here's her tagline:

"Do you have an uncontrollable desire to give women money? Do you long to be controlled by a strong willed, spoiled Asian Princess?".

she now specialises in "financial control and manipulation", and her site offers an opportunity for ppl to indulge their fantasies. here's the killer:

"Slavery is all about submission. Due to the Internet there isn't much that a Mistress can physically do to you to cause you to submit. That is why Financial Domination has become so popular. While you normally would not even think of letting anyone control your finances now you will!"

sigghhhh.. but to give her credit, she does have a big disclaimer that she's totally not into sex or whatever, and she's pretty honest that all she wants is ur freakin money.

fancy a good laugh? well, check our her juicy panties and lame-o fetish site. i'm like so sure the world is coming to an end now.

oh fanta grape.. how i love thee, fanta grape..

the haze is ba-ack!

my gosh, the weather is bad these days. its so damn hazy that u cant even see the buildings on federal highway even when u're ON federal highway. not only that, its cos of this bad weather that everyone seems to be falling ill - myself included *cough* oh ya, just so i dont get sued for copyright infringement or whatever, the pic above was nicked off thestar.com.my - check it out to read more about the haze (find it urself cos i'm too lazy too link it, hehe)

shit. u know u're getting old when u wake up the morning after a night out drinking still feeling tipsy, only with a splitting headache. i guess as u get older ur body just loses its ability to break down the alcohol as efficiently as say when u were 18. damn it, even after a few mugs i wake up the next day feeling stoned - not good.

which brings me to the whole point of this - trying to make a mental note to self: no more drinking on a sunday night even if there's f1 going on and ferrari looks all set to dominate. last night's binge at souled out (well, it wasnt even a binge - it was just bout 2 jugs each over dinner), made me feel like a freakin zombie today. heck, i'm not even sure i made any sense talking to my customers today.

so from now on, its just going to be off to the mamaks - cheap and good teh tarik with good ol' nasi lemak. cheap and good! =)
