7 things i hate about the gym.

Lets see....i've been going to the gym 3-5x week and here are my thoughts about my observations in the gym.....one note to make,i not making any of these up.....

1) Look at the pic above.....why does one, fat females especially, wear clothing that make you look like that. For the love of God.....WHY??? I have nothing againsts fat people......but i have problem with fat people who thinks they are Playboy material.....sheesh......lets move on....

2) Again, females....why oh why do you bother working out if you are going to use the weight machine with a resistance of 5lbs....why bother at all. And oh.....5lbs is nothing...stop pretending like you are lifting 100lbs....

3) This next one includes male and female......stop sitting at the resistance training machine and day dream.

4) For males, please don't grunt like a mofo lifting 300lbs.....i hope your muscle tears and that'll teach you to be stupid.

5) Next one females, while using the threadmill, Xtrainner or the bicycle thing, please don't chat on the cellphone. Its rude and i can see why your boyfriend left you, you blabber mouth!!!

6) Couples who workout together.....please don't be lovy dovey to each other while working out.....she don't look that great and i don't like your face......

7) Gossiping while working out with your friend. STOP IT!!!! Workout more and talk/giggle less.

8) Guys, stop looking at yourself in the mirror every 5 mins......your muscle aint' going to grow that fast. Your muscle may look great but trust me, your face is the problem!!

Sigh.....have to go to the gym tomorrow!!! Waaaaaaa!!!!

Guess what i spotted??

Wandering thru my local grocery store, i saw this!!! How could i not buy it and see what the heck is it. So anyway, here is the can......




And here is how it looks like inside. Its taste reminds me of a fruitcake or something.
Was curious how the name came about and after doing some googling, found out that the word dick came from the word pudding. So i guess after some mutations of the word pudding, it became puddink, then puddick and finally it was cut short and became dick. Thus dick is an English short for pudding. And the spotted is because of the raisins...thus spotted dick was the name it was given. Pretty interesting i must say. There you have it, a lesson in history.

Anyhow, here is what it looked like inside.

Officially a resident of Canada.

Got my Canadian PR card today. Sigh!! If only its the US one!!!Well, we'll see what happens next year. If i get it, then it will be pretty cool having 2 residency in 2 countries. Would be even cooler if can maintain both my residency and can get 2 passports out of it. Then i would have 3 passports!!!So when get to the immigration, like in credit card commercial, just flip out a wallet and ask the immigration officer to pick one. Kahkahkahkah!!! :p

I've lost myself

Since i got back from Msia, my mental state has changed.Its been 3 months plus and i can't for the life of me explain whats wrong.I have loose all sense of urgency about things and i have lost my sensitivity towards other people's feelings. I am not me anymore.....i don't know where this new state will lead me to. To the nut-house? I don't know.But for now, i will continue to get a grip of my surroundings.

New Toy Again!!! All because of Bush!!!

Got myself a new 40" Sony LCD TV a few days ago. I blame this on President Bush......He refunded $600 bucks of my tax money and make me gatal want to buy something. So after much scratching, i think i would like to have a new TV.....the old one 26" just ain't cutting it. Now the next thing is a wife to stop me from making these purchases.....then again, hmmm....have to re-evaluate my statement. I've been busy playing GT Turismo and enjoying it very much with all its hi-def glory. So....yeah...thats where i've been most week as well, in front of this thing.
So back to my racing.......

My thumbs hurt!!!

Ok....what have i been up to?? Been busy playing Mario Kart for the Wii. Oh My goodness, i can't remember having this much fun playing a bloody game. Literally hooked on this thing!! Nintendo really knows how to make games. The response of using the wheel is spot on and very,very accurate. Just like driving a car.

Here is the box the thing came in....The wheel you see if the side pointing outwards from me.
Its pretty small but it works beautifully.


This is the side facing me. My hands very big hoor....:p


Anyway, i really had fun playing this thing and wish i can share playing this thing with all my friends back home. It will be a so much fun just imagining all of us playing this!!! :)

sdfsdf

Sharing some music.......

I've been "turun"loading a lot of songs lately thru newsgroups and with the help of Itunes, i've got tons of "turun"loads. Anyway, here are some songs which i have not heard over the air-waves here in the states. Since my taste of music is all over the board, the songs here are from everywhere.

Until June - Sleepless( i think its catchy)



Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit (Kekekekke!!!! Very relaxing song)



Cheb Khaled- Aicha(French???)



Jashn e bahaara(Dun normally like Indian songs, but this one quite nice)



Ok....only 4 songs for now, too bad kenot share mptiga.

Going Hi-Def

After a year or so, i finally took the step and decided its time to upgrade my TV viewing to Hi-Def.
Not all channels are Hi-Def, only select few but its the select few that i watch the most.
I can say that the pictures look really clean and crisp. I'm seeing highlights on my news-casters
i never seen before. Can see the color of their eyes and can really see if they had a pimple or a cut on their face. Watching National Geographic, Discovery and especially Food Network is such a joy. Total cost for the unit(on lease) is $169 plus $10 extra a month for hi-def content. Not too bad.

Returning home after 10 years.

Sorry for the very,very long silence. As most of you know where i have been for the whole month of February, i really did not get a chance to update anything. Worst still, i currently have a mental condition that made everything feels like a dream. Its called "depersonalization". I just return from seeing a doctor today and have been referred to see a neurologists next week. I now understand how it feels to have a mental problem and its a very real feeling. You really do not have control over how you feel. In actual fact, if i could control this dream like feeling, it would work to my advantage as i really do loose all sense of emotions and will go into a trance like situation. I literally can block every single distraction and just concentrate on only one thing. So at least now you know why i am so quiet after 3 weeks back here.

In the meantime, returning home was good. I was glad to see my parents and fellow friends.
Malaysia has change so much. But i think the infrastructure change, unfortunately, the society's driving mentality has not. In fact, i think its worst. I thought when i went to Boston, the drivers were bad but boy was i wrong. I cringe everytime i am on the highway.

Another thing that unknowingly happen to me is that i have become a foreigner to my own home country. After 10 years of adapting life to the west, what comes normal to me is not normal back home. Take for example, when going out on the first day in Sitiawan, i went straight away put on socks and shoes and follow my parents to the market. WTF was i thinking. Can you imagine how dorky i look like in the market? But i was not even thinking, i just did it because for the past 10 years, that is what i have been doing. I slowly adjusted and started wearing slippers. I've got more stories to tell but for now, here is a special treat for all of you who reads my blog.
A video of my parents reaction of not knowing of my return. Oh....it was great seeing most of you back home. Will come home again next year. :)

Kanada Part Deux

Got this in the mail today. My second Canadian residency today. This time i better make sure i don't get the expiry date wrong. Expiration reads 26 JUNE 08.....right? Tell me i am reading it correctly.
The last time i read it US style so i kinda mess up my entry into Canadian. But before i go up north to be a resident there, i am going to make a homecoming trip back to Sitiawan. I still need to get my papers in my hand(its been approved), so hopefully i can finalize everything by end of this month. Kinda excited to see fellow forummers. There are so many i would like to meet up with but i don't think i have the time to go see all. Oh well, i'll figure out a way.
In any event, i'll keep you all posted. But....pssst....dun tell my parents, planning to show up for dinner un-announced. Kekekekekekkee!!!

Manyak Paiseh Loooor!!!!

Ok.....was minding my own business one day listening to the radio.....and then a tune caught my ear.
When i first heard it, i thought it had a really good tune so i went onto the information highway to look for that tune. So this is where the paiseh part comes in. The song is sung by.....drumroll.........sigh.....paiseh till no tomorrow liao..........drumroll..............do i really have to say the name of the song......well, maybe not....but if you can guess what song it is.....drumroll..........errr.......promise not to laugh..........drumroll.......its....its.......sung......by........
Britney Spears - Piece of Me.
Ok...now let me go back to my cave and go into hiding.
If you are internet smart, you'll know how to find the answer.

Got Touched!!!

Woke up this morning.......had my coffee......went to Itunes......and got bitten by the Ipod Itouched bug. Why? Well, i can download video podcasts on Itouch and watch it when i workout and don't have to rip my DVD's every other week. With that in mind, at about 10am....i went out and got my new baby.


Originally i did not intend to get it but then the thought of how easy to upload videos automatically and also the ability to surf and watch YouTube videos sold me straight away.
I've been touching mysel.....i mean the device all day today and this is one of the best device i have ever had. I only got the 8G version. I had a 20G Ipod in the past and did not manage to even fill up 50% of that. So i decided to be feasible and get the 8G version instead. Absoutely love this thing.


The screen is really responsive and a joy to use. Highly recommended.

This is how porn should be!!!

You get this package....................

You wear this thing.......


Then you go watch this!!!! If porn was like this.....i would be broke by the end of the year.


Kekekekeke......alright...alright.....went to see Beowolf 3D today. Very impressive CG and effects. 3D technology has indeed come a long way. This is the first movie that i watch which is in full length 3D, yeah, the whole 2 hours(almost!!!). Never got a headache and am totally immersed in the experience. If you get a chance, pay for that extra and watch it in 3D. Totally worth the experience. I think they need to make a full remake of Clash of the Titans in this format. I will totally dig that!!!

Horror Tag

Ok.....i assume this is for Halloween, but then again....who's counting right?? Anyway, got tag by Sila or Hish...not sure since they both share the same blog. 1) SilverBullet.
Of all movie monsters that i get very uncomfortable with is werewolves. Ugggh!!! Ever since American Werewolf in London came out, i never grew out of it. Silver Bullet was the one which i think that really scare the hell out of me when i was a kid. Till this day, it still strike a little fear in me!!!

2) The Untold Story
Move aside all you American Serial Killers!!!! This guy is creepy in first degree. He makes Char Siu Pau out of his victims. I think it was based on a true story. This guy i think is worst than Hannibal Lecter.




3) The Shutter
Ok....this Thai movie is about a camera-men that takes pictures with ghostly images in them.
Why all his pictures have deceased people in it?? There is twists ala Sixth Sense(love that one too) in this one....which caught me by surprise. Wasn't expecting it at all....but totally love it!!!


4) Rosemary's Baby
This is a superb,superb movie. Starts off slow as molasses but then slowly sucks you into the plot. Yeah.....this is what i call story writting. Pure psychological thriller. No gore or anything like that.......highly recommended!!!


5)Ju-On
I think this is the movie that started the American "The Grudge"/"Ring" horror movies.
I found out about it in the early 2000 when i saw the trailer online. Nothing beats the original.


6) Exorcism of Emily Rose
Based upon a true story(what isn't these days). Movie caught my attention from start to end.
Spine chilling scenes of demonic possession and haunting.


7) The Devils Rejects
Violence to the max this one!! Unnecessary violence but very good loor.....:p


8) Deliverance
Hhahahaha........after seeing this movie, you'll think twice about going to remote areas of America and brings new meaning of squealing like a little piggy!!!


9) The Descent
Ending sucks but with 6 hot chicks in a cave escaping from cave dwelling creatures, i am happy.
Very good cave creatures, one of the most original i've seen in a while.


10) Asian Black Magic Horror Genre
Ok...anything to do with asian black magic is creepy. Period!!!
The one above was the last one i watch a few years back. Which explains why i never had any desire to visit Thailand/Burma/Vietnam or places like that.

Hope the pictures does not creep you out.

Falling off them bones!!!

Went to a Cajun place downtown yesterday to revisit Alligator Soul. I've been there before but stop going there 1-2 years back because the music was kinda loud for me when i am eating and they do get busy. Anyway, they've since move to a new location and i thought i'd pay them a visit. The verdict, much-much better!!!

Now to the main course, their Southern BBQ!!!!! Step aside, Chilli's,Tony Roma's and TGIF!!! This is how BBQ should be.....



IMHO, a good BBQ is where all you need is a fork. The meat should be falling off the bones and smothered with BBQ sauce. The dish came with baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw and some corn. I drool just thinking of the meal i had yesterday. May have to revisit it again next week. I am just glad that the atmosphere has change for this restaurant and food is just as good!!!

This has been a Transforming week for me.

This week was the release date for Transformers DVD. And boy oh boy, what a week it has been. New releases normally happen on Tuesdays around here. Anyway, this Monday(i had the day off), i just could not resists watching Transformers on Hi-Def. And with that thought, i went out and bought myself a HD-DVD player just for it. Dem....how impulsive can one get. Anyway, its always nice to play with new gadgets. All i can say is that it looks so much better than the theaters. I can see every detail. To show you the comparison...here is from a standard DVD.



and here is the one in Hi-Def.



Anyway, to show how much abnormal i have, i bought 2 copies of the movie.
One is a limited edition steelcase set. Can't help it, the case looks good. They also have Autobot one but i decided to get Decepticons. Wanted to get both but i think that would be silly. Here's a look at it.




And here is a cop of my HD-DVD version.




Ok...spend too much liao...have to revert back to Ramen noodles.

Andre Rieu in Seattle

Ok....went to my first classical music concert last night. Not sure if any of you are familiar with Andre Rieu but he seems to be popular here in the US. Anyway, i normally not into such concerts but there is always a first time for everything. The seats i got wasn't the best IMHO but i still enjoyed the show. Anyway, here is a video i took with my S3....kekekekeke.......

Panjang punya snort

Gua punya pejabat ada seolang pompuan. Dia tiap-tiap bulan ada hidung punya pasal. So now my problem is that bila dia nak kosong-kan did punya hidung ah...dia take like 30 seconds to do it. Lemme explain, if you just one blow, get it over and done with, gua tarak ada pasal, but this one....my goodness,the blowing dragged.......so you hear all the snort from the hidung.....uggggh!!!! Gua punya bulu roma nak lompat keluar gua punya kulit, lari sampai Timbuktu. I want to muntah big time bila i dengar ini punya bunyi. Pintu ofis dia opposite of me, so can't do jack about it. If i go tutup the pintu when dia do that, kinda obvious.So cerita pendek.....kalau you want to blow your hidung, please laaaa....do it fast.....don't drag ya pee-keung(lubang hidung) on it.
