Really creative piece of story to be read

Got this story from a blog http://apnafunda.blogspot.com/index.html

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are employed."
He said." Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."

The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email."
I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.

He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized that he can survive by this
Way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US . He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!"
The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

Moral of the story:
M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.
M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.
M3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy,
than a millionaire..........

Can handle?

Can anyone Handle this sign board? I hope anyone could give me a clever interpretation of this picture. Definitely a great place to get a massage eh? BJ + Massage ahaha. cool cool.

Here a new stupid question

You Must Choose (comment)
What would you do to a flying insect? In order to torture it or simply because it keeps flying around you and you just can't stand it even to the extent of using a tweazer and magnifier because the insect is too small

A. Would you cut off the wings (slowly and carefully so you don't kill it off so soon) off the insect so it cannot fly and it could only crawl and die of boredom.

or

B. Would you pull of the legs of the insect (one by one carefully) so it can't land anymore and in the end die of exhaustion because its only choice is to fly or die.

WTF is wrong with the world today?

Everyday we hear and see things we never want them to happen in our life.. like robberies, rape cases, kidnap cases, murder.. bla bla bla the list goes on and on. It never ends..
We have people who got raped and then burned or killed violently. Or in other countries genocide happen and there's no more room for peace anymore. Everything must be settled with gun powder and nuclear weapons. I wonder when will the war ends.. when one day whats left will only be ashes. Thats the nature of human beings. Nobody will be satisfied for their own selfish reasons. In the end no one will win, this will all just lead us to square 1 if tyrant politicians would be smart enough to use deductive reasoning to find a solution to their problems. Albert Einstein once said "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." With the state of the art technology we have now everything can be destroyed in a blink of an eye. I guess good people in the world wouldn't know what has happened to the rate of crimes in the world,.. suddenly it seems that religions do not lead a person to the right path and suddenly cops and political leaders are acting in a way that contradicts the nature of their job. We are living in a modern world filled up of fools who try to find solutions to their problems using crude medieval ways.

Sometimes I really wish that there will be a vigilante who keeps the world a better place. I'd really wish that Superman does exist and a superhuman like Spider man would have come to save mankind. Sometimes I think people like Stan Lee and Avi Arad are men who we should be admiring and supporting for their dreams and imagination that shower unconditional love for peace and harmony (Although the comics are often based on violence to solve their problems). I hope there's someone in this world who could say "Lois, you wrote an article entitled 'why the world doesn't need Superman' but everytime I listen, I hear voices crying for me to return". I really hope the world will be a world of no racial, status, money, power barriers. And I hope one day a savior will come and rescue all of us from evil.

The greatest invention in the world

The world's greatest invention stated in the MSN encarta is the mechanical clock followed by the toilet. But, to me the greatest invention in the world is the urinal. Nobody in the world knows who created the urinal.. this invention is definitely understated. To me a urinal is a much greater invention compared to the computer. WHY? you ask? because the urinal is simple and does not need upgrades but the computer needs, you'll have fantastic designs and colours for a cheap price and it is not hard to operate unlike the computer... Most of all... a computer is not fool proof but a urinal is... a computer may be infected by viruses and never recover, you need to update the softwares you need to fix a gazillion cables, you'll need this and that.. but a urinal.. is definitely a masterpiece. It is truly an avant garde invention by a truly fantastic and brilliant and immaculate person just like vincent van gogh. But sad enough these people are often not given the homage they really should have had. You see, the biggest problem a guy can face is to not shoot straight and just fire like a shot gun.. and as a result you'll get insulted and consulted (tiu gao) by your parents for make the toilet a filthy place. no matter how hard a guy tries, WE can never be a marksman in the refuse area. Then a man came and saved our lives.

Look at this picture.. isnt it a masterpiece? It is the most beautiful thing in the world today! Something that only the likes of van gogh and da vince would have thought of.. it is truly the most impeccable artwork in the world..
Just look at it,.. a hibiscus urinal.. a urinal made up of our national flower the bunga raya.
As men we must always admire these artwork and I guess every guy will agree with me that the urinal is indeed superior to the personal computer.



Now I'm not trying to boycott the computer but I'm saying that there is something much more of a masterpiece than it. I do worship the computer.. I use it everyday look at it like as though its my wife (means that I look like I'm looking at it but I'm actually focusing on smth in the monitor instead of looking just at the monitor) I talk to it, I listen to it, I touch it.. but sometimes I just feel a urinal is the man's best friend (not the dog or the computer they are both stupid and are merely manipulated by human beings).

this is what you can do with your monitor if you have an extra one that is already useless.
(for heavy smokers only). This is to portray how other much more useful uses can be created using parts of the pc
This is what happens when you play too much games. You'll fucking burn and melt your fucking pc FUCKHEADS! This is to show how dangerous a computer can be to a human being.

This is how difficult it is to operate or fix a pc. (you might also interpret it in another way: people are sometimes tooo fucking stupid to even think!).

I do not have to explain much about this. this is what you get for staring too long at the comp. you'll be hypnotized! (become the slave to the computer for a few minutes or hours).

Here are some really good designs of the greatest invention (the urinal)!
It might look terrifying but it is a fabulous and beatiful invention!

The pink ORCHID!!

DoTa

As a housemate to two Dota freaks.. I can tell you a myriad of things about that damn game man. Although I admit.. I have never been a good dota player although I've started playing it once in awhile since 1-2 years ago.. Until now if I play, strangers will call me noob and friends will keep quiet only (cos they know I'm a noob already). But I swear to god! I will never fucking be a Dota freak or any other game freak cos I've got a life.. Dota can destroy your life, your dream..! The 15 year old kid in blueserver wanted to be a fucking scientist, gets straight As in his exams,.. now a failure cos every night play dota.. not say study! if go out lepak and yam cha and smoke some weed also better than playing Dota!. Im fucking glad im not a dota freak but I do no know how it feels to be captured by the Blueserver (BS is a syndicate in which it is currently using games to brainwash and figuratively 'kidnap' them.. now they are still in the stage of 'euphoria' (they are still happy and will go on as normal but soon.. everyone will listen to blueserver as BS is planning on a world domination! look how many followers (or should I say how much followers) it has now!

Let's us all stop this horrendous plan to dominate our beautiful and peaceful world!.. Here are signs that you should be able to identify that your friends are dota freaks..

- they have really really bad english. probably they are still trying to learn english or they are just plain stupid. as the popular phrase goes, "my england very bad wan"
- they like to swear. the most popular word is "cibai", short form being "cb". another famous phrase is "defend la cibai".
- when their hero dies, it's never their fault. it's always about other players. "mahai, why that fella standing there wan. come help ma. make me die only".
- noobs are certainly not allowed to play DOTA unless there's a game stated otherwise. a noob will always be showered with profanities. u might even learn a new word. a message to all those 'pros', YOU were a noob once too.
- the DOTA freaks have absolutely no life at all. they can brag all they want about getting godlike all the time but truth is, you are just another lame mofo.

i'm glad that i'm a noob in this game. for all u DOTA players out there, if you do any of the things mentioned, you have no life. just a disclaimer for this blog, it is intended to be a place where we fuck around with our reviews. if you feel offended, then fuck off.

I just love to plagiarise

Durian Rules

Its almost the end of the durian season again.. so sad.. Durian is so tasty that I could eat them as dinner everyday! But its the season that makes it so special and for everyone to be so eager for it. But its even more special cos this durian season is the first season that I go out and hunt for durian sellers with my close friends and savour the fruit at the stall it self. We went hunting for durian sellers since the past week in serdang and we found ourselves quite a deal although its quite over priced around here in Serdang. Ohh nevertheless its all good.. the best part is to share it with your friends. Tonight, we went for a session of heavy durian eating at our first stop a malay stall which we thought he was trying to cheat us.. 2 fucking durians for 15 bucks.. he said every stall would sell it at the same price.. But in the end we did pay 15 bucks for 2 small durians which were quite tasty.. the guy claimed the 2 durians to be 'musang king'.. Musang king is a durian breed which is quite expensive here. So we left the stall and went to a pasar borong in the same area and found a stall which offered us quite a good deal. We had 3 kampung durians and 3 D24 durians for just RM20.. indeed we got cheated earlier.. but later on the owner of this stall told us he will be selling a new breed of durian, 1kg for RM10 or smth like that and he said it is the 'musang king'.. so afterall we're half cheated (we can't tell what durian it is anyway!!). But the durians we ate were all superb.. Here.. I would like to share another story on durian sellers...One thing about these durian sellers are that they are all perverts.. they can relate girls to durian... Its like they can make up a great metaphor using fruits... the first one we came across was when this guy was trying to cut a durian so after cutting it he said 'waaa.. ini manyak bagus mah.. longkang begitu besar... dalam dalam ohhh... macam ah moi punya la...' then he went and chose another durian for us and said 'ini pun manyak bagus la... dia punya isi ahh sangat lembut.. banyak air... macam itu ah moi la.. kering kering mana ada baik... Damn perverted sial... Then today's seller is a typical ah beng... With me was 4 guys and a girl... and he is the epitome of all ah bengs man... damn desperate for girls... keep kacau our friend... and he even asked for her number... I mean.. he was damn crude and bengki ler... in the end my friend gave him a wrong number la... so he didnt score at all haha.... This reminds me of an incident that I experienced quite some time ago when I was in Banting.. we're acting in a video clip for a few FCM guys and suddenly a group of ah bengs came to give us nth but trouble.. well they just wanted to know the leading lady in the video clip but ended up fighting with our cameraman.. so the pokok of the story is... ah beng damn dangerous.. never ever cari pasal with ah bengs cos they damn scary ballz! haha ending damn tak kena cos i got nothing to write..

Karaoke Session

Galaxy KTV made me laugh all day.. haha.. My housemate forced me to wake up from my sleep this morning to get ready for KTV.. so I was kinda blur at that time.. but nevertheless, I woke up cos I didn't have much to do for today.. Plus its really cheap to go in the morning from 11-2 because the price is cheap.. We went in a group of 5 and we paid RM11.50 per head. The karaoke is situated in Puchong and the price included a set lunch, and free buffet and we sang for 3 hours.

Well I can say that KTV lounges mostly are visited by the chinese and most of the songs are chinese songs. All of us who went are 'bananas' so we had to sing anything but chinese songs although there were a few songs that all of us can sing to in chinese.. So here is the list of songs that we sing in that session:

1. Jordan Chan - ºëªö§¹µ²½g
2. Jay Chou n Landy - Roof top
3. Aladdin OST - A whole new world
4. Some Thai song - Hula Hula
5. Shah Rukh Khan - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
6. Another Thai song - Can't remember the title
7. Anuar Zain - Keabadian Cinta
8. Bon Jovi - It's my life
9. Beyond - Hoi Foot Tin Hong
10. Anuar Zain - Bila Resah
11. XPDC - forgot the title but definitely a Rempet's song
12. Ronald Cheng - Mou lai
13. Repeated Thai Songs
14. Beyond - Pat choi yau yu
15. Leo Ku - A song that lasted for 10 MINUTES!

Last but not least.....

15. AWIE!!! - TRAGEDI OKTOBER!!!!
16. SEARCH!!! - ISABELLA!!!!

Gempak Giler wei...!

p/s: All the English songs got stupid lame video clips. Its My Life's video turned out to be about a Caucasian guy and girl walking around a bridge and windmill looking so lovey dovey while Hoobastank's video clip is about the same thing but this time its a Latino couple cycling around a lake.. Damn cheap wei.. But the food was good, cheap but its worth it.

How the strap killed the guitar

So much has changed eversince i spent RM750 to purchase my epiphone special II. Now its broken. From a normal decent electric guitar, it became a retarded guitar now. How retarded it is? After tuning, strum once then the tunings run wild again. It looks like this when I first bought it
But now... its broken.. cos i spun my guitar.. It all started when I saw Story of the Year did it in their live concert. At first I was scared that I might lose a limb or smash my brain or poke into my eyes but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do! So I seek alot of tutorials and lessons on how to spin a guitar.. It looks something like this: http://www.compfused.com/directlink/196/ (actually exactly like this!). So I've learned the art of spinning front and back so I went back to my hometown in Mlk to try it out. But before that I was jamming with my band FMC and asked my band leader whether I could spin his Les Paul Standard but he said if the guitar break he will 'diu gao' me so I said ''ok, What about lending me your strap lock?" he replied "ok". So thats when all the nonsense started.. I was in Malacca, it was about 2am and everyone was asleep but I was really nervous and excited. I was quite dumb cos I did it in my room but I did space myself well so that I won't break the radio, photo frame, glass cabinet, floor marble, bed frame. I was well positioned. I knew I was scared at that point of time but I knew I just had to do it, so I spin the guitar and.. I FUCKING DID IT!! I was looking at the mirror at myself thinking "You Da MANNN!!!" so I got hooked to spinning it and didnt stopped spinning for about half an hour until the last spin killed the guitar in red... The strap lock got loose and the guitar flew right off and on it hit the floor... the bridge wasn't in tact and the neck was broken.. like this:
Thats how the strap killed the guitar.. Not me. Damn!
How ah?
Must buy new guitar ah? Im planning to buy an acrylic guitar but no money ler..
CIBAI!

Love songs that gives me the goosebumps

I just don't know why but these few days, I can't stop listening to slow songs, love ballads, sad songs. Sometimes these songs just make me feel so good.. BoA's My Prayer gives me the feeling of a saturday afternoon family outing feeling. haha its weird but I don't know why. Listening to Carpenter's Goodbye to Love, Rainy Days and Mondays, make me contemplate about how my parent's life was like back in the 70s and 80s, like how does my home looked like in the days, and the things my parents did back then, though I don't really know cos i wasnt there, but I seem to have a vision of how it should look like everytime i listen to the song. Listening to Eason's Lonely Christmas, makes me sad and I cried listening to that song, when I was with my exgf. Weird enough I cried not because I felt lonely but because I felt I wanted to be lonely and didnt want to be attached. The words to that song are really meaningful and it worked for me. I guess thats how powerful songs can be when your listening to the right song at the right time. When I jog, I'll hum to the tune of Marty Casey's Trees cos it gives me the energy and the spirit to jog longer and further... hehe.. Listening to any BSB songs remind me of the time when I grew up with my sister cos I'll always remember that BSB was one of the first boybands that became famous among kids and teenagers and whatever my sister liked in the past, I'll want to like as well.. hehe.. I look up to her like a role model and I wanted to hang out with her and her friends all the time when I was younger. Hehe.. but we are growing up and time has changed us and slowly, all of us are building our own personality and we think differently now. Life becomes more complicated for my sister, but I'm still so relaxed as I always am, but when I listen to the song "I wish you love" by Natalie Cole, I'd like to wish her luck in her life. :)

Ps: What songs reminds u of those sweet memories?

Eerie Encounters Part 1

According to the chinese tradition, the hungry ghost festival (around August-September) is the period of time where it is believed that the spirit of the dead people will be released from the gate of hell. Activities at the festival include preparing ritualistic offering food, and burning hell money to please the visiting ghosts and spirits as well as deities and ancestors. Other activities include burying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies "giving directions to the lost ghosts". A very solemn festival, the festival nevertheless represents a connection between the living and the dead, earth and heaven as well as body and soul. Therefore during this period of time, children and teens are often forbidden from going out till late at night because Chinese people have regarded that during this time, children will be more vulnerable and might see "things". Im getting the chills writing this entry,.. haha.. its 3.46am and it is believed that ghosts don't rest until it is 5am haha... I'm getting goose bumps and cold sweat already!.. But I shall go on typing despite the fact that I might risk my life. We were on our way back from the cinema in Sunway Pyramid, when all of a sudden something leads to another and in the end.. we ended up talking bout our own experiences of encountering either "hallucinations" or "imaginery creatures" or "real things" whichever it may be. Chinese believes that placing beds by the corner of the four walls is not auspicious because at the four corners, there will be a ghost in each corner.. therefore if your bed is just by the corner, beware, cos you are at its territory. Another encounter is when one is sleeping, in the middle of the night, all of the sudden, you wake up but you just can't breathe, move, or talk.. you are actually being pressed by a spirit. Apparently this is the most famous encounter anyone had told me but this is the night that my friend thought me a way to protect yourself when this happens. If you noticed in the middle of the night that you are being pressed down,.. brace yourself, pack up some guts and try looking back to see if there is "something" on your back. If you do see something, make sure it is not looking back at you... then its time to give yourself sometime to make sure you're just seeing things. Close your eyes again and count to 10.. open, if you're still seeing the same thing means, its time to do something to knockdown/defeat your eerie fiend. Everyone of us knows that "things" are literally and somtimes metaphorically intangible, so to imply that they are light, so the first move you should execute will be the blowing action. Try blowing it as hard as you can so that it would fly away. If it doesn't work, then you have no choice but to spit as many times as you can towards it. This way, you 'll be able to repel it away but risking being scolded by your parents or laughed by your friends the next morning but this is your best defence against creatures pressing on you. LoL! Anyway I was accompanying YY back to her house cos she was also surrounded by the trepidation mustered during our ghost story session back at the dark quiet highway on the way home. She stayed on the 7th floor and how coincidentally, most Japanese, Hongkong, Taiwan, Korean horror movies have ghost making appearance in the elevator so I accompanied her back to her unit. We took the lift and then i walked her back to her unit. And COINCIDENTALLY again, the movie "Recycle" had a scene where the actress actually met 2 figures on the 7th floor so when I was there I can't stop thinking bout it. by the time i was in the elevator I had maximum goosebumps plus a drop or two of cold sweat. Waiting for the lift to reach 1st floor seemed forever, and in most movies, you'll either see a reflection of a spirit if the lift has mirrored walls, or unwanted shadows, or sudden lift breakdown, or worse, a figure floating in the lift, or visions of a black figure when the lights SUDDENLY flicker. My strategy to counter this situation is by standing at the right back corner of the lift so that you do not leave any extra space behind you for something to be positioned at. Secondly keep your eyes open, because if you close your eyes, you wouldn't know where you will be attacked. Stay positioned, keep ur eyes opened so you'll know where to run when the door opens (closing your eyes close might slow you down and risking you to fall or run into the door or wall. The next thing is while the lift is coming down you might want to do alittle praying/chanting (for me, I chanted "namoamithaba" all the down to 1st floor) in order to gain confidence, and seek help from god. That way, you should be 90% safe from all these encounters. Follow these procedures and your life and face will be spared (by doing these, you will be able to save ur effort to wash ur wet pants and underpants). Satisfaction guaranteed.

My New song

Memories

We'll say goodbye to time
and all those crazy things
we have to leave behind
standing on the trees
we used to climb
and watch the rest of days go by

It is these memories
that kept me waiting here
to contemplate my life
where we used to run
and hide our secrets in the closets
we left behind

And its those good old days
that we live our dreams and hope
but the nights have come
leaving us to see that we are not strong
enough to live alone
I said goodbye

And we'll go home again
but so far so long
If we make it on our own
walking on the pathways
driven by the memories
long gone before

Words by Jules

Friendship forever

It was 31st of July 2006. The Date to remember. Thats because on that very day, a promise had been made by four friends. We were on our way back after a heavy shopping session in Mid Valley, while driving, we were talking about YY's present (Miss Selfridge hand bag) that the 3 of us gave to her. As last minute as we always are, we didn't wrap the bag with anything but instead WL bought a paper bag and just dump the bag into it. We werent expecting that so we AS USUAL insulted him. And what's more, there's a small card attached to the holder of the bag but eventually we didn't write anything on it cos we're just not bothered by it. AS USUAL again. But it was yesterday about 7 that we all talked about our friendship wether we would ever be celebrating birthdays together when we graduate later on after we move on with our Uni live. I have made and will continue to make friends through out my life but friends that stay close to me just don't last. The only friend that I've known since primary 1 till now, we're not that close anymore, we don't really talk that much anymore. I still miss the days back when I learned how to play the gasing from him, but I only got to spin it upside down, or when we do the weekend ritual of visiting each others house and also going to the video game shop that doesn't exist anymore, and also the time when I 'Tiu Gau' him and got bashed up quite badly (I fought him twice and lost but after every fight we became good friends again). I've spent most of my academic life in the same class with him and I fucking know him like a brother and also proved that he's always stronger than me. In different phases of my life I met different friends, friends who taught me the cheat code for Super Contra (haha) Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, A, B, Select, Start (for extra 30 life hahaha!) or the friend who had introduced me to a beautiful thing called Music, the time when my friend got me into a band and learning to play the bass and guitar, man these friends I have are not as close as we used to be. So I'm often contemplating, in my campus life, I've known these few guys who have been thru the ups and downs with me, how long would it last, will the friendship just last as long as the time we graduate and we shall not meet anymore beyond the time or will we still meet and will we be attending each other's wedding ceremony or Master's Degree graduation day.. So I think that this beautiful friendship should last forever, so we made a pact to actually keep the paper bag that we gave to YY and pass it among us (using it as the bag to keep our birthday presents) during our birthdays. some will say that it is a test we're giving each other to see how long our friendship will last. But look at it in another perspective.. it is something that reminds us about this friendship, about what happened among us, and as something very special to us. Even much more special than the present that lies inside it. Priceless.
