79. Delayed: Smooth Holiday Operation

Personal/Ideals

"Befriend our Earth & Universe: Earth, rotating at its own axis, partially receiving the ray of sunlight with the Moon to accompany its journey round the Star. So we have day and night. After each night, you cross out a slot from the calendar. Make the crossing meaningful, enjoy every single hour you have having fun with friends and family. I did it, my one week holiday feel like one month worth of joy. Feel good cheers."~wallpost from Facebook

Back to you KCH, Rooster for yer. BB and SRV for YW and all of us. And Mustaine to crush all of you guys.

I have to post this a little later than maybe expected due to internet connection problem, courtesy of Streamyx. And... this is quite a lengthy one. It's personal journal. Or activity story-telling.

"Imagine, you see stars shining and lights shimmering, but there is no god to reach for"

Just a quote that I'm referring to to the modem internet signal lights blinking with no line coming in.

So yeah, I had one week of great fun. If I were to compare blindly the activities and amount of joy shed from this holiday to any previous holidays, the latest would definitely fall short and abrupt. But let's count the satisfaction rating that is conceived in the heart and the brain.

This latest holiday week would be the best...though I forgot to invite Razeen for football the second time when he could actually make it already(i think so).

Why would I claim that this time the fun is as or more exhilirating than the rest when it's only 1 week long. I believe it's the outcome and post-fun satisfaction..whatever you could comprehend. I believe I end all the activities moderately with the feeling in the guts saying, "nothing lasts forever". Whereas the other times I had fun blindly, and were fun-thirsty for more. That explains the karma-ish perception of fun.

This time, I enjoyed and in my heart I said, "well, let's have things in balance. For friends and family. I know time is limited. So spend it wisely." Furthermore in my head, with the rest of my studymates we already had a common plan to have a job training this coming end of the year after the final exams. This reserve of time and emotion has a good onset to the settling down of my play-hard-non-stop guts.

So it shows, that I'm ready. It's not all just about having fun all the time. If you want to work with the extremes, then "Work hard, Play hard". But I supposed, there should be of moderation.

I did say too recently on spending up the holidays, I want to relax more. Anyway, back in Penang friends such as Hooi and KY have STPM on their way. Thus, I balanced my holidays spending balanced time with my family and friends. More meals together with family. More time spent back in the house, the presence of me completes the family home sweet home. As my mother quoted, "we could see Jared more often this time".

Partly also because I grow more mature as a person who comes back for holidays regularly already since last year. We actually had more than enough fun already, come to think of it. It's in the growing maturity, the essence of our youth that is. Hopefully wise youths like you reading me now agree with me.

"We'll live to see your god standing alongside us someday"

How so? We're going to outlive and outgrow the holy image someday after living and learning long enough to be able to stand by ourselves. Maybe I'm denying your maker. But give me the benefit of doubt, I shall live the way I could with principles.

zap zap zap god strikes wrath zap zap zap

This is for the 8th time I come back home since I left home sweet home in July last year.
So I had this so-called reunion. This time it's simple. It's not like any other time we could get together and actually appreciate it. We did it this time, at least to my eyes and heart. We have: Hooi, YW, KY, Jonathan, Jon and me myself. The basic brotherhood of mine. I didn't really care about what activity we're gona do. As the "playmaker" hahaa I just just wana make sure that we get along in something fun even though the planning is messy.

Here it goes:
1. the not-so-successful Dim Sum breakfast, nevermind cos it feeds [Me, KY, Jon + g]
2. Main course: Bowling [All + g1 +g2] - The Singaboy Jon pwns with the highest points scored
3. the confused-plan Sushi lunch at Queensbay, nevermind cos it feeds again [All + g1 + g2 - KY]
4. Spontaneous plan: Movie: The Ugly Truth [same] - good movie that could make me laugh
5. Simple dinner at kopitiam [Me, Jon, YW, Hooi + g] - I enjoy the chicken feet
6. Reunite - CC Dota challenge cos we have 3v3 [All + g]
~Dota score tally: YW-3, HOOI-2, me-2, JON-1, JONA-1, KY-1 [3 games]

- g stands for girl for privacy purpose heh.

And yeah, we had our overnight reunion too YW's. This time KY and Jona were the ones pia till morning on a PS3 game, Resident Evil 5. For your information, the previous games were Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and Siren 2. Graphic and shocking games in the darkness. Oh yeah, Little Wing jam has been a great start. We'll work further on improving it.

Guitar Hero:
Jona - vocals - fail (on Michael Jackson - Beat It)
Me - drums - fail (on Linkin Park - What I've Done -Expert) haha

heyy, but YW and I did great on Seven Nation Army. I realised I have to get high as in high on drugs on the beats to stay in-time. shux.

The rest: Football, Hiking, Football, Batu Lanchang Market, Esplanade Mee Sotong, Argyll Road RC and Swatow Lane.

And, here's to something fun and really random. I missed a turning to Hooi's house after leaving Esplanade. I was on the right lane and mentioned about the ferry. Hooi simply suggested, "wana sit ferry?" Oh? Alright, let's go then. As the traffic light turns green my left signal blinked furiously and I received honkings from all directions as I cut into everyone's lanes into the port. So there we YW, Hooi and me myself were. A Viva la Ride on the Penang ferry service. To Butterworth. uhoh.

And then, that was my first time driving on the Penang Bridge. YW snoozing away quick. All tired from the whole day worth of hike, sky-praising, mee-sotong and ferry cruise.

Appall for the anti-Nikes. I bought a Nike goalkeeping gloves. At a low price, my dream finally came through after 7 years of wanting one. Comfortable and superb, as commended by Jason.

Updated: Rock-@$$ a.k.a Ass-rock (in my roll of links.

I think, my next demo recording may be a Happy Birthday song. When, subject to how free I am. How, it's gona be a 2- or 3-track recording. Hopefully, I will be successful in tackling the timing setback this time.

Ambition no.3: Sound Engineering - in recording and production.

"If anything can go wrong, it will"...

one of the would-be-learnt topic in the subject Human Factors in near future

Yeah, true. Anything. Everything. Any time. Every time.

So the talk of having a Kerachut was long started and the plan was to take place in this end time of the year. In less than 24 hours, the subject was brought up before we went swimming. This time: Hooi, Khang Yang, Daniel, Ye-Wheen and Jonathan with only 4 goggles. So we agreed. Spontaneous last minute conception of a wonderful and blissful hiking beach trip. That was the way to organize a Kerachut trip since 3 years ago. HAHA. My first time was with the Sea Scouts back in 2003.

Then the 2nd came when Mr. KY suddenly called in the midnight in the end of year 2006. The idea came from his brother. Ok, 2 days later then we went. The 3rd trip took place just like hmm...April this year, 8 months ago with Jon, YW and Hooi and of course the mother/father of Kerachut plan, Mr. KY.

That one was a special occurrence. Hah. It was planned already in advance a week earlier. But due to something I have forgotten about plus the day before the plan Jon, Hooi and I hiked and we're were like so tired and felt bored about the plan so we called it off, ourselves. Then came YW who actually cancelled off his appointments and other plans before going back to KL just to join in the trip admitted about the mentioned thing. I was deeply feeling guilty and with friendship spirit and luckily-good motivation-ed sportsman brought back the plan and called it ON again. hoho we sure had fun.

The evidence:

http://youareinmydream.blogspot.com/2008/04/selection-kerachut-party-hikathon_22.html and
http://diediediedieemobiaatch-andglobalpeace.blogspot.com/2008/04/rondo-capriccio.html

And ok the 4th. It was like 10 hours close to happening. And then it happened...the real cancellation. woohoo..and yeah I am typing this post while sending and receiving messages of discussion on the matter. This time, the spontaneity fails. Because not many could make it. Hooi has a gig this Tuesday night the 30th. Some busy. Some forbidden. Left me, KY and YW die out of enthusiasm BUT no worries, we've got a new plan. The Penang Hill. You just can't leave the adenosine triphosphates, mitochrondrion and the muscle tissues in such a temperamental shock..so keep them moving and rocking. Tamparan hebat.

Hooi on the Trombone, with friends of the Jazz Music
USM Auditorium Dewan Budaya
Tickets: SOLD OUT

sorry babes..

And I want to get this novel, The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. The movie is not bad to me, I like that kind of fantasy and magical adventure. heh.

Books haven't I touched/finished:(if I can remember)
-True Sea Stories (man, I'm skipping the chapters already..can't stand the boredom)
-Chicken Soup for Teenager Soul
-The Simple Science of Flight #
-The Black Hole War #
-Mister B. Gone ##
-Shadowmancer ##
-SAS: Are You Tough Enough?
-Harry Potter: Goblet Stone (and after that)
##-Dying to read
#-Eager to read

Fark..I'm so hopeless in reading. Couldn't find the nice time to sit down and read. Laptop. Guitar. Bed.

Both dying to read books are dark fantasy disillusioning writings. And the eager to reads are physics-davinci-einstein-newton-hawking related books. Shit..another one, an e-book of The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. Fun eh..it even has its documentary shows in Discovery Channel.

So, what's up? End of the year. Freaking last days of the year 2008. The aftermath of the Big Bangs. Meaningless but filled with imbalanced impacts. The aspects most affected and infected by alien invisible undiscovered substances: Relationships; education and career; life thoughts.

Upcoming post: The identity of the multi-faceted year 2008 revealed.

Current: Scraped skin(from ridge-free slide). Tanned skin. Burnt skin. Polished white ass. Sculpted muscle. Fun. From swimming. Another one ok, before all of us part again for year 2009. Swimming was never fun this fun, seriously. The best was YW moaning, "pls no pls dun, i will give u money later!" Correct me la if script wrong ahaha

47. The Holiday Joy Ultimatum

Friends & Family

First of all, Merry Christmas. It's the dawn of 25th of December. Hooi, ur disappointing...sleeping wth you should be granting people happiness and be worshipped, the Jeesus.

To obliterate the murky and gloomy past...cover up with joyous moments spent together with friends and family. Back in hometown. The island. The great floating land linked by a sophisticated stand-firm bridge...longest in South East Asia right?

hang on...the writer's brain block slowly dissipating...boo. Boom.

Alright it has been almost 3 weeks since I came back from my campus. And the last written post was a tribute to Hide. The previous was just an informative post.

As you know, I've been granted an electric guitar already. ahha got photos already..

And I've done lots of activities since then. The ranked top as the most frequently done activity is(besides food) CC. Malei... It's a tour of death la.. Getting such freaky affinity for DOTA. Not just because it's a great game(interesting) but I keep playing it to learn more and more and improve and most of the time, to no avail. I'm a holy shit owning noob. Dun challenge me. Boring.

Here's a short video of my game back in my hostel room to kill time. It was a Naruto TD. Background music was actually my laptop speaker blaring, Slipknot - Gematria(The Killing Name).

Alright, so let's go. I will go through very briefly what I've done and been doing.
-Tried the guitar in different positions and styles. Getting comfortable with it. hah.

-....wait, I can't really remember anymore what I did. Let's see..there's Jason. Oh yes. I have been catching up with this long time bruddy(Jbrother+buddy) this holidays. Only that he left for KL so soon. Haven't swam with him. So I brought him out to hiking. First was the wednesday with Hooi. And then a food recommendation tour to the Argyll Road Roti Canai(RC) stall. I had earlier mentioned it as my childhood favourite RC place.

-Roti racist-roti masin-roti mini-roti dahaga-

But...it was a bad day. What a bad impression to Jason. It's so farking bad that day! So small in size and yet it tastes like eating solid sea water, figuratively...totally like salt accidentally spilt into the preparation. The worse is the fact that only our table(chinese boys) receive such small pieces of RC and they taste horrible. So we started thinking of racism. Fark. I almost vomited...like forcing 100% sodium chloride ingestion. I complained to the manager and cook. They started explaining...bla bla..ok la give chance la since I still love this place.

-did some Botanical Gardens jogging and exercising too with him and Hooi.

-Ye-Wheen came back too . Then we did our first G3 extravagance overnight. With guest performance by Jonathan. haha. It was rather a tiring night...with a late binge and booze. Heck, YW added Carlsberg into the noodle..ramen I think..kimchi-esque..ok la. Get high. The PS3 games of the night were Soul Calibur 4 (or 5??) and The Siren. The Siren is a farkup thriller horrifying game. I call it like that. Similar to the likes of Silent Hill where you brace the darkness and fear in a dead place. It's a great game, with each of us taking turns to complete the objectives. Super fun plus agitation plus fear plus 4am ambience.

-hmm..what else? oh yeah, swimming. First blood. With Jonathan and YW. Fun. But certainly cold with the morning wind chills at my apartment outdoor pool. Followed by a very satisfying wallet-blowing-jacking billed lunch. At El Mondo's. RM112 for 3 persons. wooh. 3 pizzas with drinks and service charge with government tax.

-hmmm...then? CC lo.. Eating out lo.. Garena at home lo... Basically these make up the life during this holidays.

-Should be nothing so significant anymore..so it's Jonathan's party occasion. His conceived plan of organizing a BBQ party. Exclusively for close friends and especially his loved one who came down to visit Penang. So we had fun doing disco while cooking daging(Zohan quote). Good chicken, beef, balls, sausages, corn and bellpeppers from Mr. Ng Khang Yang. The ending, the forced-to-finish-it-up cooking was ended abruptly by the tiny droplets of drizzling. CC was the destination after that. Until 1am.

Aeroplanes in the sky, landing. Big loo...wuahh...

-ok coming near to today already. woohoo..speed reading or whatever...I know not enough alluring visual-enhancing photos here.

-After the BBQ and CC, a few hours later..as in 11am the next morning, we went hiking till number 3 of Youth Park. woooh...rock climbing and rope climbing were the amusement. And there I had my scratch on my leg. I FARKING SLIPPED OFF THE small CLIFF. Funny the way i slided down. Even YW's handphone flung out of his pocket without him knowing. "kenot break one". And then lunch at Batu Lanchang market. And then CC. Serious..the same venue.

-Dinner with family at...El Mondo's. haha. Here a picture. Folded pizza..

-Swimming, this time with YW and Khang Yang. Same thing..bone chilling winds. This time the amusement was delving into deep depth of the pool to touch the bottom. YW even got his head touched to the bottom. I failed. But I managed, to crawl underwater..wooohoo..sounds fun huh.

...ooh it's bright already... 7.30am and I'ven't sleep yet.

-The Monday, 22nd. Went for dental. Given the plan of removing my braces in February. YEAH! Then to Hooi's house to kill time. Next fetch YW and Raymond. MEE SOTONG. Compulsory holiday outing and get-together lunch. With Joel. And yeah, meeting up with the arch-mouth-debating-rivals Daniel and Andrew. Proceeded to PENANG BOWL for bowling. Jonathan tagged along. Joined the organizer people, Eric, Seow, Razeen, Danial and Reshvinder(a pal who parted since 2006 for Australia).

- 23rd. Home Garena as usual..to kill time. Then the night, rockers' trip to PESSOC performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony at Dewan Sri Pinang. Woohoo..Ode To Joy. Then meet up with Adelyn the violinist haaha after the show. Like so many bunches of PFS mates around especially the Chorus people.. Hooi wearing a T-shirt inside with the phrase, "If it ain't Rock, it ain't music", ahaha such irony. Luckily no bash up by the Jascha Shimano the Yngwie Malmsteen-huge-Conductor of the orchestra. Penang CM Mr. Lim was supposed to be there but according to my mum, he only made it to the Sushi Kin dining with the horde of Dato's and Datin's. Elite arrogant rich manifests...

---->It was a Tuesday. And it rained before and after the night. Hell yeah. Actually I was invited by Cheng Yee to Wei Loon's homecoming party. Fux..couldn't make it. Sorry dudes..

- and then....?? Nothing else. I slept the whole day as a matter of hangover...lousy driver's remorse. Then Garena gaming till like what??few hours ago. And then the writing of this post. Very meaningful life I got here.

Ok..one more picture(urh..a little dark.forgot to edit a bit). To show you my guitar, the most recent look. The Rose.

Oh yeah! One more thing. Just yesterday I had a dream. And this guy, my class monitor appeared and did something. I forgot what. I was thinking why the heck I dreamt of him. Fark. Hours later, I received a voice mail while my phone was switched off from him. A distress call regarding our practical assignment. Fark. I am the Dream sucker.

So, next big thing..hmm..

-Kerachut Hike & Beach Leisure. Who wanna go, tag along and say YES to me. Not confirmed when.

-USM Jazz performance. Hooi is in! GO GO GO! But tickets are selling like hot sex.
-2nd G3 extravagance at YW's. Live footage recording
-hmmm....around 15 days left to go back to MIAT

ok time to sleep. Enjoy your life. Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating. I'm not. I only receive presents. But my number of presents dwindled down like from having (similar example) 20 boxes to now receiving like maybe 5 or less or close to nil. Aging. Also, have a happy new year. 2009. Should be a nice year for ..duno..anything joyous. Rock on.

Next posts should touch more photos..especially my guitar and particularly my activity captures.

34. Break Stuff

Personal/Friends & Family

scheduled posting...by the time this post is posted I am in the class doing one of my midterm exam...

O k..holidays' over. What a life I experienced back in Penang, the island. Yeah, heavy endless rain and news of flood in the city, sad.. but yet, such fun..ain't it fun?

I drove a lot...until a point where my right leg becomes lazy to step for acceleration. So I went on a 40km/h city cruising, annoyed drivers please overtake me haha But no, most of the time I've been speeding, cutting, overtaking and no, I don't tailgate like Jonathan (haha!). It's fun and actually dangerous, think of your loved ones and the consequences when you think of attempting any speed stunts on the road. I always do, and I think that I get to reach them faster and see them sooner =D no la, that's not the point. My point is, THERE HAD BEEN SO MANY ROAD ACCIDENTS HAPPENING. They always happen but that was one day where I witnessed like more than 2 crash sites in a day. Scary. And ya, I inter-knock my sidemirror with someone else's. Not good.

So, it's been fun and pleasurable doing all the activities with friends back there. Meeting and visiting people, cheer up and cast a rain of smiles. Especially visiting my former babysitter with guavas for her...I hope I'd make her happy. The proud thing is I went alone and had a sit and get to eat her homemade jelly "chai-ean" and watching the kids play. They all have grown up so much...who I used to help babysit 8 years ago. fyi my babysitter, she used to babysit our Malaysia's Squash player Nicol David too..proud eh..

And for a reunion with friends. Pretty much joyful. We did like countless of CC outings..bowling games and pool. erh..and consecutive Fettes Park western food. Oh, tau lau juak for a farewell for Shen How. Our future doctor, who just went to Russia for his medicine studies. 6 years-ordeal urh.. As I know, my form 5 class monitor Jeffrey and another guy Edwin are the people who are pursuing medicine. Cool. All the best to them.

This. People who are not in Penang anymore... From right, that's Jonathan, Daniel, X and Andrew. Daniel's in Nottingham and Andrew in Singapore...Nottingham in Semenyih...hehe

[ah...cool growing up photo, thanks to Andrew for the capture and Daniel for sending. btw that's my belt protruded not anything else hah]

Spent most of the time with Ah Hooi la...lonely rocker. DAMN...RM250 for the whole electric guitar package from Andrew. Yeah, never mind I get to at least touch and feel the power before pressing my balls for the next near 3 months. Wait for me!!! I shall come back and complete the harmonizing. And I had the best so far in my experience nasi kandar woohoo...at RM7.50; pahaayam kicap, telur puyuh and daging kambing ketul...fux I will dearly miss it.

Aiya...don't get to spend more time with this buddy la, Mr. Jon...he's darn occupied...never mind haha as long as everybody is happy..

Did shoppings....got 2 new jerseys, sports tops which are so comfortable hopefully they will serve me well in sports. A replacement for my broken tumbler bottle. Got my favourite windbreaker from my aunt yay. And most importantly new sets of underwear...YEARGH! haha

That should summarize a bit or so on the things I did back at home sweet home...it's fun except for the part I have to rush(still slacking) for my homework. At home, I'm really the part-time slacker I once was...eat, play guitar, air drum while listening to music, then sleep and repeat. Or sleep, computer, chat, eat and repeat. Not productive. Only hiking and walk rounds with Hooi sum up the hard work I had. and yeah, new additions of music into my laptop playlist. Jonathan should be fully equipped with games too! There goes the studying motivation...oh yeah, vodka and chocolates from friends from abroad. Hopefully alcohol and cigarettes don't make up a part of me in future...kuatkan iman!

OH YA! Forgotten! Khang Yang's birthday! hahaha We went to celebrate for him. Birthday cake and KFC, and a pair of white school shoes which he need too. 18 years old people....I'm gonna join them soon woohoo...condom sales will shoot up too soon.

[Song title thievery from Limpbizkit - Break Stuff]

Back to jungle life, dudes and babes. Take care and cheers. All the best people =D

Friends & Family

There is an update in my Steamboat Dinner post.

Warning: (maybe very) Long post ahead. Good read for good ol' friends. AND a spin-off at the end of this post.

Hooi! Meng Jon! If we were to be the pilots doing this stunt, we would end up like in Battlefield. Inclining horizontal tilted crash. Superb and Magnificent.. A low flyby.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfhC9ft_hk&feature=related

The author who posted this video wrote this statement for the above aeroplane manoeuvering stunt in his info:
"PILOTS, DON'T TRY THIS BY YOURSELVES! MANEUVERS SHOWN HERE WERE INTENSIVELY TRAINED BEFORE THIS AIRSHOW, INCLUDING POSSIBLE EVENTUALITIES LIKE CROSSWIND, WINDSHEAR, AND VARIOUS FAILURES THAT CAN OCCUR. SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO OBSERVE IN A FLIGHT, SPECIALLY IN AIRSHOWS! I spoke with an A310 TAP pilot. Following are FACTS, NOT RUMORS:

1. Capt. César Brito is still flying, because he did in the airshow EXACTLY what was planned and trained to do. That was not a stupid idea executed in a moment, it took weeks of preparation.
2. Brito knew perfectly how Evora airfield is. He's playing with an optical effect; the other side's ground has a slightly downward form.
3. Co-pilot was another A310 commander, and during the show he was focused in altitude to continuously report to César.
4. Plane passed a complete overhaul just before this airshow, so the risk of failures was minimum.
5. Plane continued flying with passengers until retired soon, but after a reccommended inspection by Airbus officials."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd2AoYtTcFg&feature=related

This is a real footage of an A320 fighting crosswinds while attempting to land. It was a 26 year old female co-pilot who managed to pull away and brought the plane back to safety. At time 00:40, you can see the wing touching the runway slightly-they called it wingstrike. Imagine being the passenger sitting next to the wing at the window spot;eyes-wide-opened mouth stammering, "Oh I saw Jesus playing at the edge".

..

The following texts are dedicated to the people who worked in the Room and who liked the Room.

Time flies ya, Ye-Wheen. It's been 6 months since you left us. My turn, soon. This is my version of In Retrospect since I facelifted that section into my own "Eureka, New idea!". Last year, at this time of the year we were super stressed f* rushing towards the deadline. And Wei Loon suddenly announced, "I am going to China for 2 weeks". Jared replied, "m**ei ganja, then we have to do Admin for u d la". But hah, he came back his section untouched so he did it himself by Mabel's side for weeks until early September. Less than 10 weeks from SPM. Imagine. Headbanging the keyboard table is a trend. Hearing Seow groaning while holding the CGL mag is another common sight. Then there's Ian pitifully got his reserved Macs snatched. Then, there was this Razeen who acted as if he's my dog. No I didn't treat you like a dog, don't be scared. I'm rendered useless if it wasn't for him helping out others to design. Come on, who the hell did my Editorial design for me? That genius who hailed from Jrock Kingdom. Come let me elaborate on what I wrote in "Before The End" just in case some people press charges for lack of information heh;
Eric, Best Entertainer. You see this Capel guy, he's always playing Mika or MCR so that's amusing and he liked to hug us so we don't feel lonely.
Razor, Best Money Collector. That is already an answer but my statement, "the colorful world needs you" explained that, ...black is a colour right?
Ian, Best "screwdriver". Having a good time burning the juniors' ass huh during the interview session and post-mortems. That saved lives but that two rich f*ass failed though.
YW, Best Headbanger. Too much about you already, my every sentence here are all related to you. You are the master, you are the slave, you are the mastermind, you are the sick mofo.
Joel, Best Sub-Ed. I regretted giving you that title. Just kidding. We wasted most of our lives in 5 Cekal.. haha. A teacher reported, "Joel lari apabila nampak Kavitha".LTMAC
Marcusy, Best worker. True enough. You are a full-time. But I hate to see you lonely and looking like as if Jared'd ruined a day of your life. Motivation! I owe you maybe RM10 of your Ex5 fuel charge.
Chuin, Best Time Spender. Actually I've ran out of creative titles. But you did spend your time well. Checkers. Nasi Lemak. Uniform check(for my belt!).
Seow, Best Voice(& Lips). KNN, your voice is the next World Idol, baby. We enjoyed listening to you since form 3, right Hooi. And I like the way you walked into the room as if searching for money borrowers.
Cubix, Best Complaint-free Worker. Basically, you couldn't complain. So much of Yui wouldn't help, dun emo d k, those days were over. Ramli and LeeEweImm's face turned out fine.
William, Best Beatle Fan. Needless to say, the guy who brought in those 60s' into the room to battle our rocks and metals. Sorry, we won. Even LIPS' crooning over Aerosmith's I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.
Jonathan Toh, Best Shadowy Member. It's a trend in the Board and a line from the prophecy. Anyway, one way or another I just felt I was just like you but more brilliant, I enjoyed the air-conded Room more.

Ah, think of it, I just thought I could and should have so much as the head. But unfortunately I only learnt it now. I could have planned nicely and discussed with the knights of the round table to schedule whose time and turn to rape the Mac so Ye-Wheen doesn't reign supreme. Too bad, he's the Beauty Expert so I can't go against the threat of having the front cover empty. But still it was epitomized with the certain smallest thing from him, eternally like Sonnet 18. Good job.

(click to enlarge. Not an original photo.)

[My boys..]

Never THE less, all is over and done. Thank you Miss Mableh. Thank you Mr. Ramli for not giving me new-age troubles and your virtuous Vision 2010 plans. This is a continuation of my Editorial. Thank you to those who supported me and the whole team since 2006, though you might not read this but you are certainly the energy that drove me and the reason I still kept strong until the end. "One for all, all for one; WE ARE ONE!"[excerpt from Arch Enemy's Nemesis]

Here we go, the completed Eric's post on the good ol' mfking twisted spleen stress anorexic ass splitting Editorial Board days. He has a better retouched of the above photo. Clearer. Crisper. Orgasmic.

Now for the people who punched me, lent money to me, carried me when I fractured my forearm, copied my homework and treated me to food and movies. My highway started in 1997 where I met and knew all the people revolving around me now. And actually my friends mostly comprised of humans aptly named names with the initial 'J'. haah. My first closest friends were Jason, Jon and Joel Hoo. So the teacher gave us a brand, the "J Brothers". Jon has been in touch with me ever since, (11 years and 6 months by now) Jason still in touch but we don't meet each other often and Joel had long parted with us since year 2000. You know what special connection lies in the J Brothers? Our surnames and last personal name. Teo is of hakka family, Teoh is of Teochew and Cheong is of cantonese and all of them are of the same family name. Jie, Jung and Jon are our last personal names. What can I say about Jon? I kick his ass, he kicks my butt. We were brothers but we're not brothers at all. We're not even buddies, we don't help each other haah. As he said before, "your best friend is your worst enemy". True?

What more? oh nothing much so interesting from my primary school life. Mostly individual personal stories. Like everyone knew what happened between my first crush and me. Cut it. It's 6 years old story already. Move to secondary school life. ah, as the year gets older the events got more interesting. My form 1 life basically revolved around my Sea Scout life which I gave priority to over my studies. So I went into the second last class. But I still never fail to connect with Hooi and YW for our daily doses of music. Despair in the gloomy class, I worked super hard and topped the position in the class twice. That brought me back into mainstream. Reunited with Jon and Hooi in a same class. That was form 3. haha Referring to YW's life post, the Baiduri class engaging in battles with Mutiara class.

After PMR, all hell break loose. The pressure of injecting 3 Science branches into the head. It's not easy. Plus, the sejarah text book. wth. Plus, the Moral nilai(s). wth. The latter two subjects which I got A2 in SPM. That's intentional. haah. Form 4 was my year of collaboration with Khang Yang who taught me to be hardworking. Year 2007 was the best for me and most. It's truly about rock n' roll, drugs, boozing and sex. hey, guys, remember our handmade cigarettes...fuhh, sangat kao. They freaked the photography club meeting totally with real smoke and burning scent. And, a memory for Hooi and his groin at his first time trying out Jon's ZZR.

To the former students of this class or the wives, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, slaves, masters, of the the former students: You can take the photo from here. My regards. Courtesy goes to the Editorial Board photographers who captured it.

It's also the f* year I started to socialize more. Meeting new people and making new friends. Specifically, girls. From everywhere, in the universe. Ahh, the period I missed most was the SPM-tekan-bola days. My house became the checkpoint for group studying that didn't worked at all. It's more of a Hokkien Speaking Lesson. And yeah, first Biology tuition for tips. Khang Yang's primary aim was to meet the cute receptionist there. In LPC's tuition classes, there're BB, choobee and ...THE MAN!!!(roar like Dani Filth). hehe They were girls from Convent Light Street. YW and I snatching BB(got fate ok, OK U GOT FATE because you saw her first after SPM at gurney then u shared it with me heh), Hooi analysing The Man's femininity and fantasizing someone as someone else, KY-raisins for LPC and Jonathan, duk buat blow dahlah muka macam k*. Laugh Out Loud moments. Then it all ended with colourful hairstyles. There was this Genting trip too. Ethereal, 5 months had passed since the end of 2007.

So much for such brief reminiscence. How are you people already? Look at us, all grown up and growing hair all over the wonderful places(excerpt from Guru Pitka). Earning big bucks. Spending on the latest trendy lingerie for your wives. Hitting on your bosses' customers. Learning the way of Life. Move on dudes and babes, we shall shout at the devil.

[song title thievery from Shout At The Devil by Motley Crue]

See, we all should laugh together more often and cheers...

Like Nightwish.heh

June 14th - BBQ Dinner at Abbas Beach
Night. A farewell party for Wei Loon. Revellers: Cheng Yee, Ian, Seow, YW, Jared, Chiang, Wei Loon, Sze Chuin, Eiven, Marcus, Eric, and Jason Siew. Catch crabs. BBQ. Chicken wings. Chicken pieces of meat. Sotong Balls. Stingray. Sausages. Fish fillets. Toast & Sardine. Soft drinks. Alcohols worth over RM50.
Darn...alcohol with all the taxes charged, it cost so f* much.

Same goes to tobacco rolls... This(pic) is an advert with the message intended to stop teenagers from start smoking young.

Beers... they all taste the same. Well, we're no alcohol expert and we're not experimenting the tastes properly, we just go revel in dirty boozing so all the different brands and makes of the beers taste the same. I'd say Tiger has a sweet touch. The others, plain kao and khaw sensation. Cheng Yee still loves Vodka better. And YW and I would say Scotch Whisky still own all other C2H50H.

The official closing of the BBQ party. The ritual for the burial of the charcoal which had served us good heating for our food.

The BBQ party photos uploaded above are of courtesy of Marcus Lim.

June 12th Day - The Solo Continues
As usual, fetched mum to office. As usual, first destination was Hooi's scrotum...har? I mean Sanctum. He made me waited for like 15 minutes because he was not ready. Then to my pride, I took him to try the tasty good everlasting favourite Argyll Road roticanai(RC). OK, satisfactory. Next, what?!! SK CC again? 4 hours! I owned him single-handedly using Kel'thuzard Lich King in first D-Day match. Then we were owned by medium/hard armies, again. 2nd D-Day match, he owned me..using his oh-so-cute Pandemonium Panda hero. That lasted a stressful 1 hour 56 minutes. Next was fetching Jon back from school. My first goodwill mission done. Then......bla bla nothing signifcant-get mum drop Hooi come back play and ownage in Gunz. Good ol' Pinoys not scourging.

June 12th Night - Steaming Hot chick-..en/fish/bacon/prawn etc etc
Ex-chauffeur Joel came back to his service. Fetched me to... tadaaa, Town Steamboat, opposite UMNO tower at Macalister Road. The hungry humans: Joel, Melissa, Boon Kit(new acquaintance..nice guy), Marcus, Eric, Wen Ping, Jared, Jon, Jonathan and Jees-..Hooi. 10. Ravage. Savage. The Man was soft and demure, how contradictory...not man at all.

My cute little friends.

Ended at 10pm. Everyone was with a content heart, bulging tummy, and blow face.

I learnt from Jon one good lesson on cooking bacon. The meat, red is good(yeah..damn tasty) and black is great but cancerous(yeah...really tasty but it's burnt).

And..sorry la Mel and guys...i am not that "geli" kind of person la but I am in nature a lover for cute stuffs and when I find them cute I poke, impale and swing them high enough until they land onto my tongue and be crushed under my teeth. Eric shares the great deal of joy within. Boon Kit laughed uncontrollably at what I was doing for my sadomasochism... wth it's just a fish cake with colouring design depicting a cute little face. heh. As Jon Lim quoted, "u play wit food then u eat it, it's fine. but if u play then dun eat, u deep shitter".

Overall, a good reunion or a get-together to maintain our friendship. Serendipity, everyone with the exception of Mel and Boon Kit, are all 2007 5Cekal alumni except Eric(5Amanah guy heh).

Here it is, Mel's version and point of view.

Here it is, Eric's version and point of view.

Here it is, Marcus' version and point of view.

Here it is, Joel's version and point of view.
Hey, Eric... post or send me the 18SG photos of my cute little friends. Thanks!

[The photo is shaken a bit so as to censor the gruesome act.]

This time we have Jonathan in picture. This is also the Rombongan Ponteng 5Cekal minus Joel(photographer). Look where Hooi's hands were.This is not the original photo taken from Mel. Quality already downgraded. Click to enlarge..

[Our table's]

[Laugh laugh laugh before the final pulverizing of the horde of fishballs]

[Eat eat eat, my granduncle once said, "u musn't forget abt food, food is the greatest thing in life"]

Significant moments:
1. Popping and squirting of hot fluid from the "angry" oyster as Wen Ping lifted it up. Victims were Marcus' left cheek and Wen Ping's hand(i think).
2. UFHO(unidentified flying hanging object) as Jonathan brought the plate closer to Hooi. Fortunately no hot water splashing. ahh...cant elaborate la...just big laughs
3. My table won by finishing everything off with minimal wastage. Good job guys.

Goodbye. Goodnight
