i am so sick!

one year ago, they were suspended for two weeks after the authority discovered that the factory didn't meet the expectations in respect of hygiene and cleanliness. and two weeks that was all.

no follow-ups whatsoever. then, a few days ago, it was asked to cease operation for another two weeks. but this time the factory managed to be even more filthier than your maggot-infested rubbish chamber. still, two weeks only.

attached to the report is the reference from Section 13B, Food Act 1983 which offers fine of a mere RM 50, 000.00 (does not exceed) and maximum 8 years in the pen.

people were consuming without any doubt previously. since almost everything now is very convincing with all that packaging and stuff, should we bother to have the tiniest doubt? and now, you can hear various types of stories.

i can only sigh. whilst you're enjoying that fish balls, don't be surprised to know that you're actually eating the hairy testicles of a weird creature from kathmandu.

walls and bridges

i haven't got the slightest idea of how does our judicial system work previously and presently. in fact i do not have the slightest interest also. only, i stumbled upon an article in wikipedia about an incident somewhere back in 1988. it says, 1988 malaysian constitutional crisis. well, if you're reading this blog to ensure that it does not inflict any leftist element, you can exhale. i'm just sharing what i've read. all i can say, that was a dramatic period leading UMNO to be disbanded and the formation of a party in the spirit of the year UMNO was born, 1946.

and another interesting story of late is the admission of one datin due to a cosmetic surgery gone bad. she is now in a coma, on a life support as the heart rate keeps fluctuating. what a world. we have our own hollywood community. cher shouldn't be feeling so bad about whatever she did to her body. she's not alone.

met my longtime buddies, jimmy and nuar. classmates back in SA circa 1998. they were doing some footage-shooting here in jb. i can't help not to reminisce the good old days, in the arms of JD, girls and Dr Greenthumb. those were the days. i've had my share and i'm relieved.

you're the company that you keep

a definite maybe translates insecurity. insecurity will eventually fade your self-confidence. losing your confidence means withdrawing from the crowd. and being reserved is to approach the magnetic depression. depression holds a possibility of committing suicide. committing suicide, outside from japan, equals to being a loser. and to sum it up, it is not worth any bit of it.

i'm not a spiritual guru of any kind. i just thought that these behaviors are normal. not that committing suicide part, mind you. i mean, that sensation from happiness or even sadness is a normal body reaction. an approval or rejection however solely depends on the childhood upbringing, and the rest is genetics.

me myself, still thought that we need more love. i honestly and obviously need that. we can't act merely from listening to songs about getting together, not being alone or whatever shit that pop commercials been feeding us with.

love yourself, love your parents, love your family and friends and their families. like that "pay it forward" concept. then i'm sure all of us will be blessed with the love of God.

the fourth thursday

i was posting an entry this morning when we experienced a sudden, short-lived power search. with a big sigh, i went next door looking for a new tie. what an excuse. guess i'm a bit sleepy. i bought a rainbow-colored tie.

cloverfield is an OK movie. it was, what's the word dave? nauseating, i think. handheld camera shots for like half an hour, rest a bit and another half an hour. it's like watching freak of nature on a fishing boat. elizabeth mcintyre played by miss odette yustman is sweeeeettah!

i'd prefer sex than watching a regular football game(exception for world cup and euro). jas, i'm sure you're with me man.

talk shows on mute

i remembered watching an episode of ellen the other day. she wasn't with anne heche. she was talking to the audience about her having her own talk show. oprah did it first, then martha, then tyra, then everyone including herself. are we watching talk shows on a daily basis? is it a cool thing or shall we wait for the performing artiste of the day then switch to something else? i don't know. i just watch when there isn't anything else on tv.

ellen said that the show is there simply because people are listening, willingly. do you know that there are crews holding a "LAUGH NOW" and "CLAP NOW" cue signs at some point of the show so that it'll appear lively and vibrant and all that shit. and she's saying "because people are listening".

so i figured that i could write a book. a book about my daily routine or maybe about "how to write a book" stuffs. the content however will not revolve around A-Z steps to write a book but simply, the process of writing the book.

i shall start with something like, "today, just like any other day. i recalled the same shit, different day quote from one alien movie. so the day seems right. i now have the basic idea for my epilogue and i should jot it down because i'm a forgetful being. kate knows that..."

then i'll divert the reading towards the life of kate, an imaginary character. that should take up 20% of the book. can you imagine reading something like that?

the same goes to all those talk shows. such a waste of time.

look. don't see.

a decent melody that i've been humming around the whole day wasn't likely to make it to the rick dees weekly top 40 but i'm kinda feeling good today. not really happy, just good. i feel like a healthy person with a healthy loving wife waiting at home, to copulate so that both of us will have a healthier life.

i saw many things lately. the world is getting sicker day by day, little by little. though i'm one of those "f**k it, i don't care" persons, it seems like the farther you think you're running away from it, the closer you're getting to it. so close you can smell the filthiness under the sugarcoated breaths. and you ended up having the shit smacked right in your face. them people should smoke some weed occasionally i think.

fell on black days by soundgarden still serve as my perfect reminder. i can get myself to think that it always isn't so bad and rationalising my evil mind, though devilish, i'm just a human being. i just need more education, on the disadvantages of pre-marital sex.

friends don't let friends

is this the one?

wira replacement model (wrm). quite ok. a baby saloon like toyota vios and it'll cost not more than 40k. i hope that "looks can be deceiving" does not apply here.

Bill-paying 101

i took a day off to settle all past due bills and summons. you read it right, summons! big hole in my pocket for that. and as i was so determined to get things done that day, i glanced at my wristwatch to find that i'll be racing against time. it's already 4.10pm and i have another one to go. knowing that having a friend behind that counter might come in handy, i started walking to the bank.

4.18pm. at the bank.
obviously, the door was closed with some snoop-dogg-chains wrapped around the handle. i saw this friend of mine and dialled. bugger was so occupied and left the phone ringing. so i started waving like a monkey in a zoo asking the audience for more bananas. a guy seated next to the entrance said, "go home. it's closed already la". i said,"screw you". he didn't notice. no, i didn't say that. so, a friend of this friend of mine pointed to the security door on the far right of the bank. i know cause i'm a frequent user of that door. and i walked to that door to find it unlocked.

4.25pm. the incident.
was it three steps? i can't recall because not long after entering that door, a guy or the GUARD himself was flabbergasted to see me walking like nobody's business inside the bank. at 4.26pm.

he yelled at me with a capital S. "Stop!". "Where do you think you're going?". me, in a joey from friends-like behavior said, "i'm here to meet J**I*". "wait, i'll ask him first". my friend was like "yeah, he's a friend". i smiled and continued approaching the counter. once finished, he said, "he has authorisation to shoot you""don't do that again". i said, "yeah, ok" (my "whatever" is a near-whisper).

i whistled. apologised to that guy. he didn't smile. i'm sure he'll die early.

mission accomplished.

twothousandeight

i was having dinner with mom when someone texted me with that question. resolution question. boring. nonchalantly i replied, i'm not interested in living in an army-like landscape. and because she said that it's good with something to do with discipline and some counselling bollocks, i told her that i just don't plan my life. that was the end of that sms-ing session.

i remembered wanting to improve my fitness and gain more pounds last year. that was simply because everyone else is like telling everyone else about his/her resolution and me being part of the socially-acceptable crowd just trying to be a good sport. me, i can't have a resolution because it wouldn't do me any good. i need a far greater force than just a resolution to motivate my lazy ass.

and today is the first day of the year. the year of the rat. i just think that i'll be needing more money, some injection of seriousness in my work, good food, new clothes and some other tiny little things. that's not a resolution because it's something that people do everyday. is that right?

is resolution something big, significant, new and good in nature?
and it only qualifies if you share it on new year's eve?

whatever. the new proton is niceeee!!

i'm feeling green today.

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
