Not shocking at all. As RPK himself said, it was expected. But something else really shocked me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, my brother informed me that the Sin Chew Daily News journalist Tan Hoon Cheng was ALSO arrested under ISA. I don't need to explain why. Then DAP MP Teresa Kok was ALSO arrested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reaction inside me was "What the fuck?" . I'm sure everyone else is thinking the same. Maybe even saying it out loud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Making sense of floating pigs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If i was BN, then arresting RPK makes some sense because his website is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;less&lt;/span&gt; likely to spill dirt on my corrupt organization through his website. Sure i'll get some flak from the opposition and the 'rakyat', but they don't mean shit, and can't change how we run the country. Heck, we've been doing it for 50 years, and we are right. It doesn't matter if someone else continues to update Malaysia Today on my dirt. Point is, i arrested RPK. Let me grab my balls and pump my fists in the air...wooot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If i was BN, then arresting Ms. Tan  makes sense because she write articles about my  party members, who openly say that 'chinese are immigrants' and deserve no rights. Yes, this is a crime of the highest degree...and only bested by consentual anal sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If i was BN, then arresting YB Teresa Kok makes sense because she was ACCUSED of asking mosque's to tone down their loud speakers by former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Khir Toyo. Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia printed this report even though YB denied all the allegations. Yes, this makes sense, because if my party member accuses you of something, then you are deffinately wrong, and you deffinately did it. You are guilty! Don't bother denying it cause my paper will publish it, and once published, its the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wait, there's nothing blocking my view but a fat cow politician&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm, after writing all that, i must say, i totally do not agree with myself. Perhaps our esteemed PM can bring light to the reasons for their arrests. Perhaps they can be actually charged in a real court, and if PM really believes them to be guilty, then the truth will vindicate him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, this will never happen..its the ISA la macha...they can put your ass in jail for how long the fuck they want, for whatever the fuck reason they want. And the cherry on the cake, is that they don't have to explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, we the rakyat should be honoured to have such a powerful party leading the country......into the dumps. All hail Barisan Ningkampoop!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

Radiohead, who constantly refuse to evolve, refuse to be categorized and never conforms to the norms of society, have once again shocked every one (notably those big labels in the music industry).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radiohead is letting their fans purchase their latest album, &lt;a href="http://www.inrainbows.com"&gt;In-rainbows&lt;/a&gt;, directly from their store for a fixed price of &lt;span class="MediumText"&gt;£40.00 INCLUDING POSTAGE. That roughly equates to RM240. Thats a bit too much moolah to spend on a Radiohead CD, so i'll pick the second choice, which is to download the album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is where it gets interesting. Radiohead is letting the buyer decide how much they want to pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, you are not dreaming. You decide how much you want to pay. No hidden costs bla bla bla. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="MediumText"&gt;Radiohead!

I fully commend our PM for bringing up these issues, as they are global issues and affect everyone of any sex, race, colour and nationality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; “The course of human history is marked by a few pivotal moments, during which we can make the correct or wrong decisions that will impact on the destinies of those who come after us,” Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How right you are sir! That is truly an inspirational statement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first issue brought up was of the environment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; “The 2007 Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has made it clear that the scale and urgency of the challenge is greater than we had thought and feared.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed. Its so obvious that here in Malaysia itself, the climate has changed to a point where the weather is so unpredicatable. Expect it to start snowing in about 5 years time. Nyeh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; “This is an important additional reason why the principle of differentiated responsibilities must apply, so that developing countries can maintain their capacities for sustainable development.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;Understandable,  especially for third world nations . I just hope you're not putting that in so that your country won't get slammed for violating countless environmental laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, why go preaching to other countries about cleaning up the environment? What are you doing  in your own country? Don't even bring up that ruckus about cleaning up the pigs. Thats not even close to the issue of whats happening to the environment. My question to you sir is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What is being done about excessive smoke emissions from vehicles and factories?&lt;/span&gt; Why has it become the norm to see busses and lorries spewing black smoke from their exhausts everywhere?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Is the natural environment, e.g forests, trees; being sacrified to make way for more houses, buildings and city's?&lt;/span&gt; I know everyone dreams of having their own homes, but at what cost? If everyone continues to WANT to have their own HOUSE with their own compound so they can breed MORE children who will grow up to want their OWN HOUSE, where will it end? Only when there is no more land to build on will we stop and say, 'Well now, we really shouldn't have done that, should we?'&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What is being done to promote recycling aggresively?&lt;/span&gt; Why don't you make laws to make recycling a mandatory exercise? I would look at Germany as an example of how it can be done. The people there have to split their garbage into 3 different types; paper, plastic and glass. Their garbage trucks are equipped to handle this. How neat! Furthermore, you should make it mandatory to have proper recycling amenities at all new housing developement projects. Make these easily available to the people, and people will use it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr.Badawi next brought up the issue of Islam, which is growing distant from the western world:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; “The problem of Palestine, which has been festering for 60 years, tops the list of grievances which the Islamic world holds against the West.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Palestine issue is something BOTH sides need to be held accountable, not only the Western world. No doubt, Israel is a biatch, and the Americans are bigger biatch for supporting them, but there can never be any resolution if BOTH sides continue to fester the idea of 'an eye for an eye'. You kill my son, i kill your son. The bloodshed will never end this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="text"&gt; “On their part, Muslims have a responsibility to present to the world the true face of Islam. It must be made clear to all that Islam is a religion which abhors conflicts, more so between Muslims,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also said that Malaysia supported various international efforts to hold dialogues that made it clear that Islam was a religion that espoused universalism not exclusivity, tolerance not bigotry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH REALLY?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, muslims around the world have that responsibily, just not the muslims in YOUR government eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exclusivity AND bigotry are exactly what Islam is espoused as in this country sir. In fact, your foreign minister recently reinforced this fact :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#800080;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dato Seri Syed Hamid Albar:&lt;br /&gt;You know, if you follow a  certain religion, like you are a member of a certain club, you are subject to  certain rules. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you call the indiscriminate demolition of Hindu temples, temples that were around BEFORE merdeka? Is that not intolerance or bigotry? Why did a church take 20++ years to build in Shah Alam? Why is it mandatory to convert to Islam to marry another muslim? Lina Joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bleh. Sometimes i just give up with all this double standards of government politicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Anyone care to disagree with anything i've said? I don't proclaim to be a know it all or have the facts, so i'll gladly retake anything i've said if proven wrong.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-1209377097989581511?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/1209377097989581511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=1209377097989581511&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/1209377097989581511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/1209377097989581511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/09/what-utter-nonsense-mrbadawi.html' title='What utter nonsense Mr.Badawi'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-3217337154132007194</id><published>2007-09-14T13:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-14T15:35:23.083+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='penang'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stupid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='malaysia'/><title type='text'>Stupid Malaysians should die!</title><content type='html'>52 people died on &lt;span class="text"&gt;Dec 26 2004 when a tsunami hit the shores of Penang.

The top seeded Nicol won the match 9-4, 9-1, 9-6 in just 34 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Nicol only faced stiffer resistance from Rachael in the third game. They were neck and neck until 6-6 before Nicol stepped up the pace to seal the match. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; In the semi-finals on Saturday, Nicol, who is based at the Squash City Centre in Amsterdam, was also in devastating form – crushing fourth seeded American Natalie Grainger 9-2, 9-4, 9-2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   In contrast, Rachael had to slog to reach the final – upsetting her younger sister, Natalie, 9-4, 6-9, 9-6, 9-2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; It was Nicol's third consecutive win this year after claiming the Malaysian Open (July) and Singapore Masters last month. She is now unbeaten in 12 consecutive professional matches. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Nicol's other World Tour titles this year were the Kuala Lumpur Open (March), Kuwait Open and Qatar Classic (April). Her only defeat this season was by Natalie in the final of the Seoul City Open in April. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   Nicol's next tournament is the British Open in Manchester. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Courtesy: &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/9/3/sports/18766022&amp;sec=sports"&gt;The Star Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-5803701106815800027?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/5803701106815800027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=5803701106815800027&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/5803701106815800027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/5803701106815800027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/09/nicol-david-wins-yet-another-tournament.html' title='Nicol David wins yet another tournament!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Rtt4FPYLXgI/AAAAAAAABT0/bx7wbAzSr4k/s72-c/BO16+Quarters+-+Nicol+David+chases+off+local+favourite+Vicky+Botwright+05BO612d.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-5856374184255570017</id><published>2007-08-29T16:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T16:06:41.292+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Malaysia's golden anniversary soured by widening ethnic divide</title><content type='html'>Most of the points mentioned here are not news to us.

For many Malaysians, the display of unity will be just a show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"We see Malaysia being divided into religious and ethnic ghettos," said Farish Noor, a Malaysian political analyst based in Berlin. "That's why I find it so difficult to celebrate the 50th anniversary of independence because I see so few 'Malaysians.' ... Everyone speaks of his own tribe."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;At the heart of the polarization is deep disenchantment among the minority Chinese and Indians over two issues. One is a long-running affirmative action program for Malays, a Muslim people that make up 60 percent of the population. The other is the growing influence of Islam, with the apparent blessing of the government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Analysts warn that minority discontent could upset the ethnic peace that has been the bedrock of Malaysia's stability and economic prosperity. Ethnic Chinese represent 25 percent of the country's 26 million people, and Indians, 10 percent. About 5 percent belong to indigenous groups.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"Sometimes it is disgusting how the Malays treat us. They have no respect for us Indians," Murali Mogan, a 19-year-old barber, said. "If I could, I would leave and settle in London."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Further, if Islamic conservatism is not controlled, many experts fear that Malaysia could become a breeding ground for hard-liners who want to impose a strict interpretation of Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"If you give them space to move in, to maneuver, they will come in," said Al-Mustaqeem M. Radhi, a Malay Muslim who runs the Middle-Eastern Graduates Center, a think tank in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia "could become a fertile ground to train and nurture the extremists."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;But Radhi and others play down worries that Malaysia could become a haven for the al-Qaida terror network and its regional affiliate, Jemaah Islamiyah. The two organizations tried to recruit Malays and held at least one key meeting here to plot the Sept. 11 attacks. But the network has been rolled up in Malaysia since early 2002.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Economically, Malaysia has much to celebrate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From a postcolonial tin-mining backwater in the 1950s, Malaysia has grown into an industrial state that exports semiconductors and other electronic goods and aspires to become a fully developed country by 2020.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It boasts the Petronas Twin Towers, the third tallest building in the world, and its new capital, Putrajaya, is a sprawling, leafy city of grand architecture, palatial ministerial homes and fantastically shaped bridges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Only 5 percent of the population lives in poverty, down from 50 percent at independence. Annual per capita income, adjusted for inflation, has jumped from US$290 (€210) to US$3,700 (€2,700).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The nation's political stability stems from a power-sharing arrangement that has kept the National Front, a coalition of Malay, Chinese, Indian and other parties, in power since 1957.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The unspoken threat of a law that allows indefinite detention without trial also helps keep dissent at bay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The Malaysian state realizes that you can maintain soft authoritarianism through a combination of threat and patronage ... to keep things warm but never on the boil," Farish said. "It never lets the situation reach a boiling point but it can cook the Malaysian public for eternity."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Race riots broke out in May 1969, but Malaysia has otherwise enjoyed five decades of generally peaceful ethnic relations. Malik Imtiaz, a prominent constitutional and human rights lawyer, says that reflects racial tolerance, not racial integration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Entire neighborhoods, and sometimes towns, are identified with a particular ethnicity. The three groups rarely mix outside the workplace and know little about each other's cultures. In university cafeterias and shopping malls, young people tend to cluster by race.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"There is a lot of tolerance among races in many respects. But the comfort level with each other is not there," said Azmi Khalid, the environment minister and a member of the ruling Malay elite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Minority anger has grown over the New Economic Policy, which has given preference to Malays — historically the poorest group — in jobs, education and businesses since 1971. The policy is credited with lifting the education level of Malays, also known as Bumiputeras, or "sons of the soil." But critics say it has evolved into a tool to benefit a few well-connected Malays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There are growing calls, even from some Malays, to scrap the policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"The NEP has to be dynamic. It has to change with time," said Tengku Zafrul Aziz, a beneficiary of the NEP's education quota and now the CEO of TuneMoney, an investment and insurance company. "You can't continue to have the same policy. It will raise racial tensions especially if you use it as an excuse to benefit a selected few Bumis."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The government has eased the quota system at universities and exempted a special industrial zone in the southern state of Johor from a requirement that companies have at least 30 percent Malay ownership. Still, the government remains loath to scrap the NEP, because it fears losing Malay votes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The spread of Islamic conservatism is adding to ethnic tensions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Islamic preachers have begun telling Muslims not to attend Christian or Hindu festivals, and some condemn Christians and Jews at Friday prayers, said Radhi of the Middle-Eastern Graduates Center.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Most Malay women now wear the head scarf, not part of their traditional attire. "Five years ago, I never saw so many head scarves," Radhi said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Some schools have started reciting Muslim prayers at the start of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;While new mosques are built with taxpayer money, obtaining government permission to build Christian churches and Hindu temples is virtually impossible, despite a constitutional guarantee of religious rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A series of court verdicts this year have found that civil courts have no jurisdiction in Islamic matters, even when applied to non-Muslims. Imtiaz, the lawyer, said the Constitution is clear that civil courts can overrule the Islamic courts — but judges are unwilling to rule against Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-5856374184255570017?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/5856374184255570017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=5856374184255570017&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/5856374184255570017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/5856374184255570017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/08/malaysias-golden-anniversary-soured-by.html' title='Malaysia&apos;s golden anniversary soured by widening ethnic divide'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-1123613700713188284</id><published>2007-08-28T14:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-28T14:18:52.332+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bangsa Malaysia: An experiment in Truth</title><content type='html'>Sourced from http://bangmalaysia.wordpress.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bangsa Malaysia, its certainly an idea i'm in love with!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Well it was a certainly a humbling experience for me to attend the Bangsa Malaysia Merdeka Forum and Get-Together on the evening of 25 August 2007. No, it not because the who’s who of the Malaysian blogging circle was there but rather, the rare determination of people of all races and religion coming together with one common aspiration, i.e. to drop all their tribal, communalistic thinking and prejudices and to love one another. To me, it was as Gandhi puts it - an &lt;strong&gt;experiment in truth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The forum had speakers  Uncle Zorro (Unmasked) Dato Zaid Ibrahim, , Jayanath Appudurai, Rocky’s Bru, Malik Imtiaz Sarwar and Azmi Sharom each having their own views and perspective of what Bangsa Malaysia is and whether the initiative was actually necessary. This was followed by some rather serious discussion with the participants, facilitated by Haris Ibrahim.  Through the deliberations, a profile of Bangsa Malaysia finally took shape and was summarized as follows:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* One People through adversity&lt;br /&gt;* Look out for each other&lt;br /&gt;* We live with each other&lt;br /&gt;* We die together&lt;br /&gt;* National aspiration to live in harmony&lt;br /&gt;* No room for dominance&lt;br /&gt;* Lack of understanding of the Merdeka struggle&lt;br /&gt;* National identity – a change in mindset and heart&lt;br /&gt;* To deemphasize and purge ourselves of differences&lt;br /&gt;* Self empowerment&lt;br /&gt;* To take responsibility&lt;br /&gt;* Women’s empowerment&lt;br /&gt;* Malaysian-centric&lt;br /&gt;* Motherland = HOME&lt;br /&gt;* Patriotism and willingness to defend the country&lt;br /&gt;* Common destiny&lt;br /&gt;* Respect the dignity of others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From the forum it was clear that to bring about the vision of Bangsa Malaysia, there need to be a change in the mindset and heart(set) of everyone. I was happy though, that the forum ended with a concrete roadmap for like-minded Anak Bangsa Malaysia to follow in order to realise this noble dream. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Later in the evening, Haris reminded those present that the struggle to create Bangsa Malaysia may be a long one and the journey, tough. “We are in for a long haul”, he said. “Many challenges will confront the Bangsa Malaysia movement and that there will be those that will say that it is a nebulous concept and question the need for it. But there will come a time when we have to be confident enough to engage these detractors” he added.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;He then unveiled &lt;a href="http://pelitar.wordpress.com/"&gt;PELITAR&lt;/a&gt; or Penyayang Legasi &amp;amp; Inspirasi Tunku Abdul Rahman an initiative to tie with the Bangsa Malaysia drive. “Our ‘Bapa Malaysia’, Tunku Abdul Rahman, had a vision. His leadership and spirit that led us to this independent nation, are the epitome of a true Malaysian. Forgiving, undividing, and always forging new relationships whilst breaking down barriers” he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;He also proposed to bring across the Bangsa Malaysia philosophy and Tunku’s legacy to the people of Penang at a ‘do’ called Majlis Mesra PELITAR on 16 September 2007, the day Malaysia was formed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I drove home late that night feeling elated that truth and diversity was being celebrated but what was more remarkable was Haris’s words that kept ringing in my ears, “As a fellow Bangsa Malaysia, I am willing to die for you - all of you, regardless of your race or religion”. That is truly the measure of a great soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Perhaps, now I understand what &lt;strong&gt;Bangsa Malaysia&lt;/strong&gt; means.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-1123613700713188284?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/1123613700713188284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=1123613700713188284&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/1123613700713188284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/1123613700713188284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/08/idea-that-is-bangsa-malaysia.html' title='Bangsa Malaysia: An experiment in Truth'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-8477256886380631009</id><published>2007-08-28T12:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-28T12:49:41.592+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stay away from Zouk KL!!</title><content type='html'>Thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.suanie.net/2007/08/28/zouk-did-it-again/"&gt;suanie&lt;/a&gt; for posting this up:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Recently, two expatriate women (US and Canada) were attacked in the middle of the dancefloor at Zouk nightclub in Kuala Lumpur. They described their attacker as an older Malay male (with bodyguards!) who claimed they were dancing “too close to the VIP area”. The women, both teachers at International Schools in KL, were celebrating the end of the school year and saying good bye as the American teacher was transferring to a school in Buenos Aires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Sensing that this man may have been problematic, they moved away from the VIP area and continued to dance. What happened next brought tears to my eyes. Our Canadian friend said that the Malay man returned to the dancefloor and began shouting at them to “Go back to where you came from” and called them a variety of choice names. He then grabbed the American woman by the ears and head-butted her in the teeth. Stunned, the American started after the Malay man as he stomped off toward the VIP area. The Canadian woman followed her, and was cold-cocked to the side of her head by…the bodyguard!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Meanwhile, Zouk’s bouncers as well as the club- goers did nothing. It gets worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Canadian woman clears the stars out of her head to see the American woman being held - an arm by each bodyguard, while the Malay man kicked her repeatedly and savagely in the stomach - so hard, that she defecated on the floor. All the while, the Malay man uttered racial and sexist epithets against the women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Zouk’s bouncers did nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Oh, wait, yes they did. After the older Malay man with bodyguards finished pummeling the American woman, the bouncers grabbed the two women and threw them out of the club. Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    They went immediately to the police and filed a report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Following up two days later with the police, they were told that the security footage was too blurry and that they couldn’t do anything. Sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Well, they may be sorry, but Zouk nightclub let all this happen. I had heard stories like this before, but this time it happened to two friends of mine and we’ve alerted our Embassies. People’s children go to Zouk; imagine this happening to an expat teen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I will never step foot in Zouk again. The older Malay man with bodyguards may be some over-privileged sicko from the Royalty who will never amend his crime against the women due to the corrupt justice system here in Malaysia, but it happened at Zouk. And all travelers coming to Malaysia should know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If you are a western female, be very careful here. Another incident happened to a German woman we know - racial and sexist epithets uttered while a brick was heaved at her head from a younger Malay man on a motorcycle - she had to have her face stitched up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Be very very careful coming to Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/messagepost.cfm?postaction=reply&amp;catid=23&amp;amp;threadid=1451885&amp;messid=12803166&amp;amp;STARTPAGE=1&amp;parentid=0&amp;amp;from=1"&gt;http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/messagepost.cfm?postaction=reply&amp;catid=23&amp;amp;threadid=1451885&amp;messid=12803166&amp;amp;STARTPAGE=1&amp;parentid=0&amp;amp;from=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-8477256886380631009?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/8477256886380631009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=8477256886380631009&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/8477256886380631009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/8477256886380631009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/08/stay-away-from-zouk-kl.html' title='Stay away from Zouk KL!!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-636090185531693232</id><published>2007-08-28T11:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-28T11:56:22.974+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lone Wolf Game in the making!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RtOZ6fYLXWI/AAAAAAAABSk/s_ImOIw1fi4/s1600-h/Lone+Wolf+computer+game+poster.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RtOZ6fYLXWI/AAAAAAAABSk/s_ImOIw1fi4/s320/Lone+Wolf+computer+game+poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5103592032875273570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to play the Lone Wolf gamebooks as a kid, and all the way into my teenage years. Absolutely loved them, and so did my brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a pleasant surpise this morning, when my brother emailed me :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might want be interested to know that Lone Wolf game will be out soon.

Then my brain took over and gave me a dose of reality, "Just pray that it doesn't suck!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't know about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Wolf_%28gamebooks%29"&gt;Lone Wolf&lt;/a&gt;, just think Star Wars (one hero, magic swords, jedi like affiliations,) + Lords of the Rings (fantasy realms, monsters, magic, talking trees, impossible missions)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly enough, the game is being developed in Singapore, by a gaming company called &lt;a href="http://www.ksatria.com/"&gt;Ksatria Gameworks&lt;/a&gt;. They will be presenting 'Lone Wolf: Flight From The Dark' for the first time at Games Convention Asia in Singapore from September 6 to 9. If anyone has the chance to check this game out, do let me know if it does suck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flight from the Dark was the first book of the entire gamebook series, and i guess they will start the game from there. I wonder if they will make 1 game per gamebook, which will mean there could be up to 20+ Lone Wolf games!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RtOcg_YLXXI/AAAAAAAABSs/yEcp2ohwkko/s1600-h/Lonewolf01ab.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RtOcg_YLXXI/AAAAAAAABSs/yEcp2ohwkko/s320/Lonewolf01ab.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5103594893323492722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-636090185531693232?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/636090185531693232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=636090185531693232&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/636090185531693232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/636090185531693232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/08/lone-wolf-game-in-making.html' title='Lone Wolf Game in the making!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RtOZ6fYLXWI/AAAAAAAABSk/s_ImOIw1fi4/s72-c/Lone+Wolf+computer+game+poster.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-2406342590352454860</id><published>2007-08-24T11:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-24T12:03:57.411+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I don't like where we're heading</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Gosh, where do i begin. First bloggers are being threatened. Some even got slammed in jail and their computers confiscated. And now, i am just buzzing with "ecstasy" as i read todays edition of The Star.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Our beloved PM, reminds us all &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/8/24/nation/18684392&amp;sec=nation"&gt;not to mock&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; any religion. How right you are sir! Religion is sacred to us all, and is something that should never be controlled or influenced by us limited beings. Religion is the domain of God, and only God himself (or herself?). How we share our experience with God through our religion is our own. Thank you dear PM for reminding us of this!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But wait, then what about Lina Joy? Why can't she be allowed to choose her own religion? Its between her and God, who are we to stand in the way? If ultimately, God decides that she was wrong, then God will do what is necessary. Who are we to take over the decision making process from God? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But wait, what about the demolishing of all the Hindu Temples? Who are we to decide that God does not need to be worshiped at these temples? Who are we, in all the limited wisdom that we have, to decide that Hindu's can live without their Temples, but others need their own 'temples' in every corner of the country? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Phew....i need to fart out loud..because sighing isn't gonna help me release my frustration adequately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;One more thing, what the hell is English Law and since when were we using it?

I for one, think we will miss him a lot. In fact, we missed him a lot during the end of last season, where we needed an enigma to unlock those stubborn opposition defences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luis was a player for the big occasion.  &lt;span class="small"&gt; &lt;!-- START SOURCE --&gt; Mark Platt &lt;a href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N156271070703-1550.htm"&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt;, "&lt;/span&gt;Without doubt he proved himself as the little man for the big occasion and, in turn, won the hearts of almost every Liverpudlian."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Ro5-AORpltI/AAAAAAAABD4/31Gq34WXnBQ/s1600-h/xxxgalLuisGarcia_laurencegr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Ro5-AORpltI/AAAAAAAABD4/31Gq34WXnBQ/s320/xxxgalLuisGarcia_laurencegr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084139571645093586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the current squad, i don't think there's a player who is as delightful to watch, as he is infuriating. I can't remember the number of times i've pulled my hair out watching him trying one too many flicks and overzealous dribbles, when the sensible thing was to keep it simple, and just keep possesion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that is Luis Garcia. I remember a few interviews by Benitez, and though he did wish that Garcia didn't waste possesion so much, he understood that that is what he was all about. Garcia takes risks. He DARES to take risks. And though he may give the ball away 2/3 times, from the other 1/3, he makes defence splitting passes, he scores us spectacular and crucial goals, and wins us the BIG games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He may be tiny, but he is a giant in the hearts of Liverpool fans, and will forever be remembered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Ro6AKeRpluI/AAAAAAAABEA/BwXRfTpLhzY/s1600-h/Luis_Garcia__Liverp_162493c.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Ro6AKeRpluI/AAAAAAAABEA/BwXRfTpLhzY/s320/Luis_Garcia__Liverp_162493c.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084141946762008290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-7297682972338278913?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/7297682972338278913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=7297682972338278913&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/7297682972338278913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/7297682972338278913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2007/07/we-will-miss-your-thumbsucking.html' title='We will miss your thumbsucking celebrations, goodbye Garcia!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/Ro58wORplsI/AAAAAAAABDw/uWEG-3aw2IA/s72-c/garcia1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-5763784958794698533</id><published>2007-06-29T03:06:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T04:17:10.656+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Transformers Rocked!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RoQQX-RplnI/AAAAAAAABDI/RVHfIe1ik78/s1600-h/transformers3_400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RCXvaB2QG8c/RoQQX-RplnI/AAAAAAAABDI/RVHfIe1ik78/s320/transformers3_400.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081204283620824690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: center;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You will leave the cinema wishing your car could transform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yes folks, its the hard core truth.

We're screwing around with God 40 million times a year. And that figure is only going to go up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I'm not so sure how accurate these statistics are, but i got them from &lt;a href="http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm#Abortions%20Worldwide"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.abortionfacts.com/statistics/world_statistics.asp"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Whatever it is, thats a shit of load of abortions. So, the question is, should we care? I think we should. Sure, thats easy for me to say as i can AFFORD to say it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yes, i can probably AFFORD to take care of a Baby. I'm lucky as i have a stable job and a stable home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But a lot of people who resort to abortions simply cannot say the same. Its interesting, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;78% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries and 22%       occur in developed countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, a lot of people just don't know better. They have unprotected sex and whoopsie!, "Oh dear, i've been knocked up. Time to see Dr.Abort-my-faetus again". I'd like to find a statistic that delves further into these abortion rates, and find out if the majority is caused by ignorant stupid people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116435518030174063?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116435518030174063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116435518030174063&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116435518030174063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116435518030174063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/11/40-million-abortions-year.html' title='40 million abortions a year?'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116393567581909730</id><published>2006-11-19T19:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-19T19:30:09.433+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Liverpool lack flair</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Watching  last nights game in Bojangles, i couldn't help but notice how workman like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv"&gt;Liverpool &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;played. We were more of less playing effective football, creating decent chances but without being entertaining and creative. There was a lot of power in our play, but no style.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If i had to choose 2 words to describe our style of play this season, it would be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;direct &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;power&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;How we miss thee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think the biggest reason that we have played like this is because we have missed our 2 biggest flair players, if not our ONLY 2 flair players:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://liverpoolfc.tv/team/squad/kewell/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Harry Kewell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://liverpoolfc.tv/team/squad/garcia/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Luis Garcia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Right now, all those fans who have been slagging them, are currently sucking it in and wishing these 2 players were fit and on form. Heck, as for me, I'd pick an off-form Kewell over an on form Gonzalez any time!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The more and more i see Gonzalez, the more and more i dislike him and wonder what the big fuss was all about. In the Arsenal game, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.arsenal.com/player.asp?PLID=44537&amp;CLID=3&amp;amp;amp;title=Player+profile+-+Emmanuel+Eboue&amp;nav=Player+Files"&gt;Eboue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; (the right back) did more attacking and dribbling than Gonzalez! Utterly embarrassing!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Pass and Move damnit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;All the Liverpool players last night seemed very afraid of giving the ball away. They never tried any 1 touch passing. Everyone wanted 3 or 4 touches which to me, showed apprehension and doubt over the position of their team mates or whether they could even pass to a team mate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If we had Kewell and Garcia, i'm very sure Liverpool would be higher up the League, and i think Rafa and the coaching staff can't wait to get them back fully fit and raring to go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Time, is on our side..yes it is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Contrary to what everyone may think, i believe a lot of fans have NOT lost faith in Rafa. If anything, one need only look at what Ferguson has achieved. In the early years of his management of Manure Utd, after a few seasons of rebuilding and not winning anything, he was 1 game away from getting sacked or something like that, but they managed to win that game, and look what they have achieved and where they are now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I strongly believe that Rafa will get it right eventually. Most definitely not this season, but he will have learn't a lot. We aren't a Chelsea, where we can buy any player we wish to fit our system, so we shouldn't expect Liverpool to be at Chelsea's level so soon. We will get there though. Look at the Chelsea game early this season, where we pretty much matched them and could have won if not for better finishing from Gerrard. It took a truly awesome and magnificent, but freakish once in a lifetime goal from Drogba to win it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So, i will continue to wear the Liverpool jersey with pride, because i know our time is coming soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116393567581909730?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116393567581909730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116393567581909730&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116393567581909730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116393567581909730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/11/liverpool-lack-flair.html' title='Liverpool lack flair'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116378372437726886</id><published>2006-11-18T00:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-18T01:24:56.176+08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Bond movie is quite good! Shocking!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I think this &lt;a href="http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/casinoroyale/site/"&gt;latest &lt;/a&gt;installment in the Bond franchise is one of the better ones. This film isn't going to win Oscars, but in comparison to the other previous modern James Bond movies, it feels like it should win an Oscar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The movie keeps you glued to the action and the story line throughout. Didn't realise that it was quite a long movie, about 2 1/2 hours! Where the previous bond movies just seem like cartoons with real life explosions and sexy babes, this version feels realistic and thoughtful. Maybe that's because Bond is butt ugly and isn't some pretty man like Pierce Brosnan. Anyways, thats an entirely different conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In spite of his appearances, i think this Bond is my favourite. Some credit has to go to the script writers, because he had some good lines throughout, as did most of the cast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action scenes were also very original. I like the scene where Bond chases a Madagascar bomb maker bad guy through the city. The best part was the way the bad guy tries to get away. Some kinda spiderman. You'll know what i mean when you see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stand out scene, has to be the one where Bond first meets &lt;a href="http://www.evagreenweb.com/"&gt;Eva Green&lt;/a&gt;'s character in the train. The conversation they had was so damn intriguing. It was intelligent, witty and flirtatious all in one. I wonder if they teach you how to have conversations like that in Mi5 spy school?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;All in all, one of the better movies of the year. Well worth the money. I'll give it my personal rating of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt;3/10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; spits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;RATING SYSTEM: Less spits is better. More spits is bad. E.g. if i spit 8 times on you, then you have a rating of 8/10, which is very bad and you should consider suicide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116378372437726886?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116378372437726886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116378372437726886&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116378372437726886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116378372437726886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/11/new-bond-movie-is-quite-good-shocking.html' title='New Bond movie is quite good!

Take for example, yours truly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, our beloved maid had gone back to her home to celebrate Raya for a month. So, me and my brother and 2 useless mutts were left to watch the house, feed each other, water the plants, wash the floor, clean the plates and all that other things that goes into keeping a house running. I tell you, housewives don't get enough credit for running the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, the maid did a brilliant thing by cooking lots of stuff and stuffing it in the freezer. We survived on that for about 2-3 weeks. We occasionally bought food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But once the food ran out, we had to do the unthinkable. Cook!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll readily admit to anyone that i'm lost in the kitchen. I may know where most things are, but i wont know how to put them together and cook up a meal. Previously, all i had to boast on my CV was the ability to cook sausages, burgers, eggs and rice. Hey, thats still something ok! I know where the salt and pepper jars are! Its essential to any decent fried egg!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, with the help of my girl, we managed to cook up some stuff. She also wanted to do some cooking since she rarely gets to cook in her own home. The stuff we cooked was fried rice, pasta, a kangkung dish and some dry curry chicken dish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know whats fun about cooking? Its using all these different spices and herbs and food stuff to create something that tastes wonderful. Its probably what God sorta felt like when he was creating the universe...i mean , not that he was going to eat us, but the fact that it felt good to create it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its strange too...nowdays, i find myself reading all those recipe columns in the newspapers. Like today, i read this interesting column in the Sun, about tomato paste, and how it can be used for a lot of other things other than making pasta sauce. Yummy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116368564428217194?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116368564428217194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116368564428217194&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116368564428217194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116368564428217194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/11/who-knew-cooking-was-fun.html' title='Who knew cooking was fun?'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116357897045217256</id><published>2006-11-15T16:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-15T16:25:55.390+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Malaysia to run out of oil in 19 years?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I would like to thank a fellow &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.rambleville.com"&gt;blogger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, for a link to an article in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/while-malaysia-fiddles-its-opportunities-are-running-dry/2006/11/14/1163266550487.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1"&gt;theage &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;. It is an australian publication, and it raises some very interesting points about the situation here in Malaysia. If its the points are valid and accurate, i wonder what the future holds for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;First off, i really loved the introductory 2 paragraphs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;"MALAYSIA'S been at it again, arguing about what proportion of the economy each of its two main races — the Malays and the Chinese — owns. It's an argument that's been running for 40 years. That wealth and race are not synonymous is important for national cohesion, but really it's time Malaysia grew up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;It's a tough world out there and there can be little sympathy for a country that prefers to argue about how to divide wealth rather than get on with the job of creating it."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Another interesting point, which has been on my mind is this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;" &gt;"Next year, a Malaysian astronaut will go into space aboard a Russian rocket — the first Malay in space. And the cost? $RM95 million ($A34.3 million), to be footed by Malaysian taxpayers. The Science and Technology Minister has said that a moon landing in 2020 is the next target, aboard a US flight. There's no indication of what the Americans will charge for this, assuming there's even a chance that they will consider it. But what is Malaysia getting by using the space programs of others as a taxi service? There are no obvious technical benefits, but no doubt Malaysians will be told once again, that they are "boleh". The trouble is, they're not. It's not their space program."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I completely agree with that, and find it strange why no of us have picked up on that. Or maybe we have, and i just haven't been reading hard enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The icing on the cake:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: times new roman; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Bank bale outs, a formula one racing track, an entire new capital city — Petronas has paid for them all. It's been an orgy of nonsense that Malaysia can ill afford.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why? Because Malaysia's oil will run out in about 19 years. As it is, Malaysia will become a net oil importer in 2011 — that's just five years away.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: times new roman; font-weight: bold;"&gt;So it's in this context that the latest debate about race and wealth is so sad."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well folks, sounds grim eh.

Are they missing a player like Michael Owen? Why do you think Rafa declined the chance to re-sign him?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;b style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;All is revealed in the update of the book! But a clue - Owen was badly advised and he cried when he realized he couldn't go to Liverpool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;That excerpt was taken from an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=390561&amp;root=europe&amp;amp;cc=4716"&gt;interview &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;with Guillem Balague who is a well respected author and journalist from Spain, and who is good friends with Rafa Benitez. When i read that, i get so frustrated. Oh man. If only he'd come back to Liverpool. I always knew he would have wanted to come back to Liverpool. A born and bred Liverpudillian, who was given the choice of going to any other club or Liverpool. Choice is easy for me, if i was Owen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I'd like to read this book that Guillem has written and know what happened. Oh well, on the flip side, perhaps it was a blessing that he didn't come back, seeing as how he is so injury prone these days. But on the flip side of the flip side, perhaps he wouldn't be so injury prone at Liverpool where the doctors and physicians know his physiology in and out. Now we'll never know i guess. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Newcastle will never let him go after spending so much on him. So depressing. Now all we have of Owen in a Liverpool jersey are memories and online video clips. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116318826536518461?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116318826536518461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116318826536518461&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116318826536518461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116318826536518461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-knew-owen-wanted-to-come-back-to.html' title='I knew Owen wanted to come back to Liverpool!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116291749382699156</id><published>2006-11-08T00:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-08T00:38:13.910+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pumpkins ready to serve their best Smashing ever!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.netphoria.org/grouppictures/nwg6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.netphoria.org/grouppictures/nwg6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;...younger days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If you didnt already know by now, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.myspace.com/smashingpumpkins"&gt;Smashing Pumpkins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; have reunited, and have already started recording their latest album.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If the album is half as good as what Jimmy Chamberlain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.alternativeaddiction.com/musicnews/article.asp?id=728"&gt;proclaims&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, then the album is gonna suck:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;As some of you know we are indeed creating music again -- music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it.

Fred Durst was on to something when he wrote that song, 'Break Stuff'. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;On a day such as this, this song is like my best friend. I know, hard to imagine Limp Bizkit touching the chords of my emotions, but it was probably an accident waiting to happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Shit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The shit really hit the fan today. Splattered across the windows, the floors. What a mess to clean up. The smell still reeks within my nostrils.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Had to endure all sorts of shit today. Oh, wait, let me rephrase that, "I had to endure the same shit, but different smells, throughout the day".  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I was thinking of quitting smoking, but now, i can't imagine how. I really needed a drag to calm the nerves, and blunt the frustration within. As soon as i took that first drag, the hairs on my body rose in unison with the weight that dissapeared from my shoulders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Sometimes, things which are bad for you, are good for you in small doses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;History&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The last time i felt anything close to this was about 2 years back i think. The day was almost ending. Had a bad day in office, too much shit happen, too many irritating customers to handle, which resulted in me going off site to do some maintanence works for a couple of servers. Spent a long time there, in the datacenter. FYI, datacenters are usually friggin cold, so imagine spending a few hours in the server room. By comparision, the  temperature in your fridge would seem like a holiday in Florida compared to the temperatures in a server room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So anyways, managed to get everything sorted, was really tired and really looking forward to going home, having dinner, taking a bath and having a long comfortable snooze in my bed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Wouldnt you know it, as soon as i reached the car, a tyre was flat. Everything inside me just went upside down, though on the outside, no one would have noticed. To make things worse, the car park was poorly lit, making the task of changing tyres more troublesome. Add to that the greasy tools, and nothing to wash and clean my hands after....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;On the drive back home, a Marlboro and Limp Bizkit stroked and soothed the raging anger and frustration within. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116196785492576476?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116196785492576476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116196785492576476&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116196785492576476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116196785492576476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/10/bad-day.html' title='Bad Day'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116178757204928698</id><published>2006-10-25T22:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-25T22:46:12.083+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pelican eats pigeon!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/1.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/1.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"It is almost unheard of for a pelican to eat a bird.

Just woke up suddenly, at precisely 6am. I can't explain that. Do i have some weird internal clock that just sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. Who knows, i'll leave the discovering of the hard stuff to the scientists...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Seeing as our maid is away for a month, me and my bro will be doing all the work. We don't mind though, cuz we were the maids before we even had a maid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Waking up early really makes my hardworking bones tingle. When i wake up early, i feel like doing some work, as opposed to waking up late. I guess the reasoning for that is that half the day is already wasted, why not waste the rest of it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Wanted to wash the clothes, but found that the washing machine door couldnt close. The latch seemed to be stuck, thus making it impossible to close. Proceeded to dismantle the door and take a closer look at the latch...and surprise surprise..its broken. Perhaps someone was a little too rough, or maybe it just broke cuz its old. Its more than 10 years old i think, and the part that broke was flimsy but crucial to the operations of sealing the washing machine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Great, looks like the dobi people will be seeing more of us more often until we get it fixed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The maid is going to have a real laugh when she comes back. 1 month she's not around and chaos reigned supreme in the house!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116174142938689859?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116174142938689859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116174142938689859&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116174142938689859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116174142938689859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/10/morning-sickness.html' title='Morning Sickness'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116153991290364122</id><published>2006-10-23T01:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-23T01:58:32.946+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gosh, im so sad.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Manure 2 - Liverfools 0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Damnit, this was the worst performance i'd ever seen from Liverpool in years. I just can't re-call how this team (granted, not the exact 11 players) could have won the Champions League. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I watched the Bordeaux game, and they were unimpressive then, and if they were playing a better team, they probably would have lost again. And wouldnt you know it, few days later, they do play a better team but slighty smelly team, the Manure's, and lose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think we missed Kewell a lot. Garcia was anonymous. Alonso was shocking. Hyypia gave the ball away too much. Too many players playing like crap. And to top it off, those smelly Manure fellas didnt even play that well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;All that said though, i dont think anyone should panic. Rafa has the job, and is the only one for the job. He is a very clever coach, and im sure lessons will be learnt. I know things will improve, though we will very very clearly, NOT win the league this season. Unless off course Chelsea, Arsenal and Manure screw up big time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;What is love? Is it just hormones playing with your minds? Is it chemicals in our bodies reacting to chemicals in another body? Is it just one big chemistry explosion waiting to happen....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;or is deeper, than that, almost a spiritual experience? 2 people becoming 1? Thats what marriage is supposed to signify, the love between 2 people that is so strong that they become ONE. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But why do 2 people become so in love with each other? And what is this concept of one person loving the other person more? Can there be a happy outcome in such situations? Oh frack, when will these damn scientist ever create the Love-o-meter? Then we can accurately judge who loves who the most and start another damned argument that will end in wild angry sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As for me, i'd be happy with someone who loves me for who i am and doesnt mind just sitting somewhere doing nothing while staring into the stars..without being awkward...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-116153991290364122?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/116153991290364122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=116153991290364122&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116153991290364122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/116153991290364122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/10/gosh-im-so-sad.html' title='Gosh, im so sad.'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-116146413455668048</id><published>2006-10-22T04:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-22T04:55:34.576+08:00</updated><title type='text'>BattleStar Galactica Season 3 rocks my world!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4work.pl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/WindowsLiveWriter/DiggBattlestarGalacticainfocoll.SPOILERS_14443/bsg18.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://4work.pl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/WindowsLiveWriter/DiggBattlestarGalacticainfocoll.SPOILERS_14443/bsg18.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Holy Frack!

This latest installment is way better than anything the predecessor could have been, and a million time better than anything on TV right now, including Lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But this show has once again proved to be so much more than cool special effects and sexy robot chicks. Whilst watching the latest episode, i was literally trembling like a nervous little girl, just waiting with bated breath on every scene, wondering what was going to happen next, if Adama was really going to survive, how Colonel Tigh must have felt holding her dying body in her arms, how Sharon felt while she practically betrayed her kind. So much emotion....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I love this show, and can't believe so many people have forsaken because they think its just another Star Trek or Star Wars space combat people blown up special effects show.

We didnt puke. Not a single person. And we didn't get very wasted. Well, considering there was only 4 bottles of whisky, i guess thats to be expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Don't get me wrong. Its not as though our primary mission in life is to get wasted and puke disgusting green and brown fluid like gunk all over the place. Its just that its strange how our drinking habits have evolved over the years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stage 1 (16-20) = Motto of the day was, "Quantity, not quality" . Everyday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stage 2 (20-23) = Mixture of Quantity and Quality. Mostly weekend binges. We'd have the odd weeknight drinking stupors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Stage 3 (23 and above) = "Quantity" correlates directly with bank balances. Preference on Quality and crappy funny conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Its a fact then. I'm getting old. Its not so bad, if you  know how to enjoy it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;On a side note, we had a great view from the hotel room. We could see almost the whole city from our 17th floor window. The best part was when the fireworks started. All over the city, the skyline was erupting in multi colours. The best was the one at Sunway Pyramid. Gorgeous! Whatever was happening at other places paled in comparision. I wish i was under those fireworks with her. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115701712744122650?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115701712744122650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115701712744122650&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115701712744122650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115701712744122650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/sip-it-and-savour-it.html' title='Sip it and Savour it'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115691478274755092</id><published>2006-08-30T13:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-30T13:13:02.753+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Whats happening in Tanjung Tuan?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.promahathir.blogspot.com/2006/08/man-arrested-while-trying-to-hand-over.html"&gt;reading &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;how a man got arrested while trying to pass something to our PM.

Our  independence day. Merdeka.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I guess i should be worked up about this. I guess flags should be flying on top of my car, on my house and anywhere else i can think of. Sadly (is it really?), this isnt the case. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I can honestly say that i have never in my short existence, been really excited to celebrate Merdeka. Yea, sure, i do look forward to it, but only because its a holiday. These days however, Merdeka is just another excuse to get wasted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I wonder why i am this way. I also wonder why almost everyone i know is the same way. I really don't know 1 person that really looks forward to Merdeka day. Perhaps i just don't know enough ppl. Having said that, its not as though i just have 5 friends. I do have quite a lot of friends, not all of them close like a brother or sister, but friends none the less. The point is, never have i seen them excited about Merdeka. My family is no different. Everyone is just happy that its a holiday. No need to go to work. No need to go to school. Yay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Just another Malaysian Tourist in Malaysia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I can't speak for the rest, but i really don't feel like this is my country. Don't confuse this with whether or not i love this country. Thats not in question. I love this country a lot. I love the food, i love the freaky weather. I love people (well, most of them). There are a lot of things i dont love about this country as well, but thats for another day. Bottom line, is i love this country, and would probably die for this country if it got invaded by Americans or Aliens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Back to the point i was trying to make, which is that i don't feel like this is my country. In fact, i feel more like a tourist, who's got a PR status in this land. I feel like an outsider, a curious watcher of daily activities. Nothing more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Its curious to note, that during the colonial times, this was exactly the desired effect that the British were going for. Divide and conquer. And even after nearly 49 years, i feel divided. I do not feel Malaysian. Is everyone else like this too?  Ask yourself. If the british arent creating this effect, who is? Am i simply indifferent and uncaring?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Thoughts of grandeur and ministers going "Boom"!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Almost everyday, i meet someone who wants to bomb the entire Parliment to smithereens. But no one ever says the want to nuke Malaysia to glory. The "rakyat" loves the country, but hate the politics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Without going too deep into this, i'd say that Malaysians have got a huge problem with the way the country is run.  I really do.  Quota's and shit. Yeah yeah, the common excuse is "...the country will not grow unless the majority progresses as well...". That makes sense, perfect sense. But how long more? How long more should the "majority population" be spoon fed, at the expense of the minority population? Another 50 years? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And then there's that latest incidents of temples being destroyed. What kind of effect did these damn retards think that will have on the "rakyat" ? Did you know that the Catholic Church in Shah Alam took nearly 20 years to build. At one point, construction had to stop because in the design plans, the Cross on top of the church was taller than the Shah Alam mosque minarets. Talk about an ego problem. Geez. And do you know where this Church is? Its in industrial land. Surrounded by warehouses and factories. Never theless, i'm eternally grateful that the Church even managed to get built. Thank God for that. Without his help, i think it would have taken another 20 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think i've ranted more than i should. There's many more things i can rant about, but its pointless. No one important is going to read my blog. And even if they do, they'd probably throw my ass in jail, than actually try to do something about the whole situation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyways, Happy Merdeka people! Have a great one. I'll be getting wasted, as usual. Hope i get to see fireworks this year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115691392542573137?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115691392542573137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115691392542573137&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115691392542573137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115691392542573137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/merdeka-bleh.html' title='Merdeka?

They've all become part of the family, even inheriting the family name. I think my home will be really bored if we never kept dogs. Its sad that they don't have lifespans as long as us.

Don't let you eyes deceive. She's not an overgrown white mouse with a red collar. She really is a dog. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;She's only been with us nearly 2 years now. She's about that age also. My aunt saw this little white pup, stranded in the middle of a road. She rescued it and gave it to me. Some of my cousins said she's the ugliest dog they've ever seen, but i disagree. I think she's the cutest thing on 4 legs. If only she wasnt such a destroyer of things. Did i mention that she seems to be perpertually on ecstasy or something? She should be the mascot for Energizer batteries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/DSC02832.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/DSC02832.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This brown mutt is Bizkit. The name was derived from the group Limp Bizkit. I actually got this freak from Nilai (used to study there). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;He used to come to our house and my neighbours house a lot, but he was always limping, hence the name Limp Bizkit. Anyways, after we starting taking care of him, feeding him, the limp dissapeared, so we we forced to discard the 'Limp'.  Then came the semester break, which was 2 weeks. During this time, everyone goes back to their home town and shit (i've never met any students in Nilai who were actually from Nilai). Seeing as how he was going to be on his own for 2 weeks, which i thought was rather cruel, i decided to bring him home. Went with my dad to Nilai, gave him a pre-car trip bathe and stuffed his butt into the car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, i think Bizkit had a rather interesting 'childhood' in Nilai. We once saw him take part in an orgy. No shit. Really. Dogs just fucking. But it was a gay orgy. Fracking hell. They would like take turns and shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Friend: " hey guys, check this out...Bizkit's fucking a bitch"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Friend2: "wtf. its an orgy"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Me: "Bastards a player"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Friend: "Looks like he's done. 30second man"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Me: "Hmm, why's the bitch getting on Bizkit?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Friend2: "That bitch has got a dick man"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;ALL: Fuck..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;(events were dramatized for added suspense and profanity, whatever that means)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, he aint gay no more. Now he just chases Dee Dee around. Or maybe he's a bisexual dog. Its funny watching them. Dee Dee thinks he's playing. Seeing as how she's been spayed, i guess she doesnt have those 'horny' tendencies. Must be mental torture for Bizkit. Hasn't gotten laid in a while. Poor bastard. Haha! Well, i'm sure he got enough action during his Nilai days. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115656590461573581?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115656590461573581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115656590461573581&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115656590461573581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115656590461573581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/my-loveable-canine-friends.html' title='My loveable canine friends'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115641732297968423</id><published>2006-08-24T18:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-24T19:02:03.016+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sell car. Buy camera.</title><content type='html'>Shocking but true. I'm looking for a buyer for my old car. Its a  Mazda 626. Last i checked, it was a '84 model. Or was it an '86 model. Oh frack..its old ok. Affectionately known as 'abang' to all my friends, this car will be missed. I know guys always name their cars after girls, but the name kinda sprouted from its odd number plate, and it stuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish i could hang on to this baby, as i've got loads of memories with it. Memories worth cherishing. Like that time **tooot***tooot*** and then ****toooted somemore ***** while it ***tooot***.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did i mention that this baby comes with a Digital Spedometer? Yeap. It gets the chicks everytime. Especially those &lt;a href="http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=99053"&gt;Japan GT babes&lt;/a&gt;. They like digital stuff. Quick, go slap a digital clock on your forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Money Money, its so Funny..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, i'm gonna have to give her up, cause its simply not practical for me to maintain 2 cars with my wages. In the end, neiter will be maintained properly. So, sent it for one last maintanence, and  might send it for a final tune up before i sell it off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Borrowed my friend's (&lt;a href="http://hodgeriam.blogspot.com/"&gt;Bernard &lt;/a&gt;who is affectionately known as Burn-the-nerd ) Sony camera, to take some pics. One of my colleagues friends might be interested in buying it. My mechanic found me a buyer, though at a rather cheap price. I think i'll start posting on &lt;a href="http://motortrader.com.my/"&gt;motortrader&lt;/a&gt;, see whats the response. My cousin also suggested i go to colleges and put up notices, cause it seems these foreign students will buy these old cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's some of the snaps i took of abang (click on it for larger a view):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02826.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02826.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02821.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02821.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02825.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02825.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02824.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02824.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02822.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02822.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02823.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02823.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02820.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://zindee.com/images-browse/DSC02820.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yea, i'm selling it for RM2.5k.

Dissapointed. Barking Mad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Once again, and yet again, we flatter to deceive. We could have lost the game. All credit to Sheffield United though, they played well and were very organized in their play and tactics. Passed the ball better too. But overall, they didnt trouble us much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Liverpool were just poor, only stuttering throughout. And yet again, we needed Stevie G to do something. I'm getting sick at how we're becoming a one man team. I don't mind individual brilliance from great players, especially in games which need to be won. For example, the Champions League final. We needed that extra drive and skill from Stevie G to push us that extra yard against an extremely talented AC Milan side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But this is Sheffield United for goodness sake!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;No excuses can be made. Sure we lost Carragher and Riise early. Sure, a lot of non-1st eleven players we're playing, but they played like ghosts of themselves. Even after we equalised, we took our foot of the accelarator, and were just content to strut around in arrogance, as though we were going to win with ease. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sometimes, being a Liverpool supporter is really heart wrenching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;And now...me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I'm doing an IT Certification at the moment, CCNA. Go look it up if you're giving me blank looks and half expecting an elaboration of the term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anyways, enough about your ignorance, more on mine. Had a multiple choice question exam, and a hands on skill based exam. Did ok with the MCQ, but totally did the hands on exam like how Liverpool just played. Overconfident and dumbass. Thank god for one dude, that helped me out. He's only still studying, doing his final year exam, but he's a freakin' genius with numbers. I hate classless IP addressing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Argh. I can just see my social life fading away like ....ermm..like things that tend to fade away. Age? Fog? Sanity? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Its back to the books, making notes and memorization for me.

No. I need the police.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think the police need to rethink their strategy of keeping the peace, that is, if they even have any.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Are you my saviour?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In areas where crime is rampant, i think it would be better to have policemen doing their patrols on foot. Why? Well, quite simply, if i were a thief/murderer/rapist/pokemon, i'd be worried more of these 'foot soldiers'. The foot soldiers will know if there is a commotion that happened few blocks down the road and can investigate immediately. Also, i think the community will feel a lot safer if they knew that there was a cop nearby on patrol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As compared to the policemen that just drive around with their bikes and cars, all i'd have to do is wait for them to pass by, then i can do my dirty deed and they wouldnt even have known . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Personally, i think the police have a lot of work to do when it comes to repairing their public image. Doing something like this, where the police get down to the same level and meet the public, in stead of wheezing around like celebrities in their tinted cars, is much better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now, this idea is going to totally backfire and give me an inverse fart if the policemen that go around on patrols on foot are crooked and dirty. Imagine if the policemen goes around asking all the business owners for protection money, bribes, etc. Frack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I'd waste the mofo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;World gone mad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Its pure lunacy how some of our politicians rant and rave and organize sing-a-longs and protests about whats happening in Palestine. Don't get me wrong, whatever is happening there is just mind fucking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But my point is, is our little country Malaysia an Eden on Earth? Are we living in blissful harmony? Is everyone happy and healthy? Do we all have families and homes? Can we all read, write and think creatively? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Is it safe for us to walk out of our homes? Is the sanctity and rights of women and children protected? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Is there justice in this country? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Memoirs of an Honest cop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The police. Does anyone dream of being a policeman or policewoman anymore? In my world, they dont seem much better than the crooks. Granted, not all that rotten apples, but thats the image thats being protrayed. I bet you only dirty crooked bastards dream of becoming policemen in this country. Its legalized crime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115563214599174420?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115563214599174420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115563214599174420&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115563214599174420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115563214599174420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/superman-no-i-need-police.html' title='Superman?

In theory, i suppose it could be justified be saying :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;they are elected by us, thus we should give them all our money just for the heck of it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;they represent the community, and speak for our rights, so we must give them our money too&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;they need to wear expensive clothes and drive expensive cars so as to make a good impression to others, hence, lets give them all our money too.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pocket Change&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I read with suprising curiosity this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/14/nation/15134731&amp;sec=nation"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, where Deputy Umno Youth, Khairy Jamaluddin revealed how he incurred losses up to RM200,000 when he sold off his ECMLibra shares. Poor bugger. He lost rm200k. We should all pity the fool and weep in sorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;OR...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;We should actually question, why someone in the government (i'm speaking about ALL government officials..not just that brat Khairy) should have RM200,000 to lose? Instead of whining and making so much hullabaloo about whats happening in Palestine/Israel, shouldn't these blokes do a self check and correct their faults before preaching to others?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Politicians should be the epitomy of humbleness. After all, WE did infact elect them. It is not a gift to them. It is a priviledge that WE have given to them. By electing them, we have made them our voice in the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The worlds greatest politician of the new world, was never a politician, nor did he ever want to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Mahatma Gandhi, frequently took the train, walked across miles in his sandals, lived in a farm, and wore nothing but a piece of cloth almost all of the time. Can you ever imagine any politician ever doing this, or heck, even showing 1% of this kind of humbleness?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It is absolutely revolting and disgusting to see how politicians now days parade themselves like celebrities, and think they are above us all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A lot of good work can be accomplished with RM200,000. A lot of homeless people can be fed with RM200,000. The suffering of a lot of sick people in our OWN country can be eased with RM200,000. I wish i had RM200,000 to lose. At least i'd try to lose it to people who really need it. Don't believe me? Give it to me and you will see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115552448067135741?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115552448067135741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115552448067135741&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115552448067135741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115552448067135741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-do-politicians-earn-so-much.html' title='Why do politicians earn so much?'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115453157143959541</id><published>2006-08-02T23:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-02T23:13:01.900+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Life Updates</title><content type='html'>Yes dear readers, i'm happy to report that i am still alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spank you later!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115453157143959541?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115453157143959541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115453157143959541&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115453157143959541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115453157143959541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/08/life-updates.html' title='Life Updates'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115319528103440595</id><published>2006-07-18T11:55:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T12:01:21.056+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Sea Cucumber</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Sea_cucumber.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Sea_cucumber.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;b&gt;sea cucumber&lt;/b&gt; is an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinoderm" title="Echinoderm"&gt;echinoderm&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_%28biology%29" title="Class (biology)"&gt;class&lt;/a&gt; &lt;b&gt;Holothuroidea&lt;/b&gt;, with an elongated body and leathery skin and is mostly found on the sea floor worldwide. It is so named because of its &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucumber" title="Cucumber"&gt;cucumber&lt;/a&gt;-like shape. Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoskeleton" title="Endoskeleton"&gt;endoskeleton&lt;/a&gt; just below the skin. &lt;p&gt;Sea cucumbers are generally scavengers, feeding on debris in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthic" title="Benthic"&gt;benthic&lt;/a&gt; layer. Their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_%28nutrition%29" title="Diet (nutrition)"&gt;diet&lt;/a&gt; consists of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plankton" title="Plankton"&gt;plankton&lt;/a&gt; and other organic matter found in the sea. One way they might get a supply of food is to position themselves in a current where they can catch food that flow by with their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacle" title="Tentacle"&gt;tentacles&lt;/a&gt; when they open. Another way is to sift through the bottom &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment"&gt;sediments&lt;/a&gt; using their tentacles. They can be found in great numbers beneath fish farms.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They have the peculiar adaptation of expelling first sticky threads, perhaps to &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/incapacitate" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:incapacitate"&gt;incapacitate&lt;/a&gt; predators, and then their internal organs when startled by a potential predator. These organs can then be regrown.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When sea cucumbers are eating, by browsing the seabed, they cannot breathe through their mouth, so they can &lt;a href="http://www.fegi.ru/prim/sea/golot.htm" class="external text" title="http://www.fegi.ru/prim/sea/golot.htm"&gt;breathe through their bottom as well.&lt;/a&gt; Sea cucumbers reproduce by releasing sperm and ova into the ocean water. Depending on conditions, one organism can produce thousands of gametes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Courtesy of Wikipedia)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115319528103440595?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115319528103440595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115319528103440595&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115319528103440595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115319528103440595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/sea-cucumber.html' title='The Sea Cucumber'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115315019793668676</id><published>2006-07-17T23:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-17T23:39:01.116+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm too sexy...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Had a good work out in the gym just now. I try to go at least 3 times a week. In the beginning, i was quite apprehensive about going, because i was a insecure about myself, and i had this image of being surrounded by big size mofo's carrying weights that were heavier than me. I just didnt think my ego could handle it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But, i just sucked it in, and dived in. And now, i really enjoy working out, sorta like an addiction. And i dont even care about those other guys who are bigger and stronger than me. They're really nice people, and give me and the other newbies good advice. One thing i realised, is that i have to go with a positive attitude, and be friendly, because no one likes a stuck up prick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Now, i've got a rough idea what i want to accomplish, but one things for sure, i dont wanna become a freak. Like this freakazoid:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://body-building.ru/img/news/boris_dm2000_x2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://body-building.ru/img/news/boris_dm2000_x2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I can't decide if he's in pain, or just blissfully happy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Also, i want to be porpotionate. For example, i just don't really want to just work out my biceps and look another version of a freak , this these bozo's:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.body-building.ru/forums/uploads/post-15-1127918308.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 143px;" src="http://www.body-building.ru/forums/uploads/post-15-1127918308.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.bodybuildingpro.com/synthol/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 187px;" src="http://media.bodybuildingpro.com/synthol/6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my friends suggested that i take steroid injections, to increase the speed of my developement, but although the idea was tempting, i realise its just a shortcut. I think i would be prouder of what i accomplish by doing it the hard way, and thats the way its gonna be. I'll stick to my protein supplements, and trying to eat right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Up, up and a way!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've noticed a lot has changed in myself ever since i started working out regularly. I actually wake up energized sometimes, and eager to do work. While at work, i pay more attention, and feel like doing MORE work. As cliched as it sounds, a healthy body really does make a healthy mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115315019793668676?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115315019793668676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115315019793668676&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115315019793668676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115315019793668676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/im-too-sexy.html' title='I&apos;m too sexy...'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115313280262899642</id><published>2006-07-17T17:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-17T18:40:02.720+08:00</updated><title type='text'>There's a blender in my brains</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Killer sea cucumbers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Not sure whats happened to me. Been tired and dazed lately. Think i've lost all motivation to work, or do anything productive. I swear, she will be the death of me. hah!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So, what interesting thing have i done lately. Hmmm, lets see. I think i bathe the mutts last week. Saw Superman. Played like Zidane yesterday during futsal, minus the head butt. Signed up for a CCNA course. Had random thoughts of starting a company. And then there's that stuff i can't blog about. What did you think? I don't blog about everything you know, only the stuff i want you to know. Oh, and the usual days of drunken nights. Noticed i don't smoke much lately. Alcohol consumption hasnt changed though. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Loonies of USJ11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think USJ 11 is fast becoming a looney bin. Forget about the mosquito's, they old news. Don't be suprised if you see the MPSJ cracking down on these wondering looney tunes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My first encounter was when i was sitting in the car with my girl, talking (i swear, we really were just talking la!) about life and stuff. Then this sorta well dressed indian man comes walking out of the the back alley and walks in our direction. From my first impression, especially the way he was walking and the body language....the biatch was drunk. My second impression more or less confirmed it, cuz he walked past the car, then reversed, and stared into the car and gave us the thumbs up, and smiled, and then walked away. My first thoughts was "I' wanna run his drunk ass down and catapult his useless existence back to the moon". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My second encounter, wasnt as close. In fact, it was more of an observation. It was sometime after noon, and as i was driving to fetch my girl who stays nearby, i happened to glimpse another weird assed Indian guy standing under a tree facing a van. The way his hand was positioned was almost like he had it in his pants, "His hands can't be where i think it is...hmm" .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, after picking my girl, we were driving back the route which i came from, and the guy was still there, his back facing us. It was unmistakable what the freak was doing. His left hand was moving in an all too familliar jerky movement, and as we passed by, our worst fears were confirmed. The biatch had his dick out and was wanking. I think the van was turning him on, "What a sexy exhaust you have....ahhh..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This seriuosly freaked us out, so we went back for another look in the hopes of catching him in action and flinging inanimate objects at this freak of nature. Alas, he was a very efficient wanker.  By the time we passed by again, he had already stuffed his pecker back in and was confidently giving an assured and almost contented pose next to the tree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;*sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I wished i had a digital camera. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115313280262899642?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115313280262899642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115313280262899642&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115313280262899642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115313280262899642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/theres-blender-in-my-brains.html' title='There&apos;s a blender in my brains'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115276939822491870</id><published>2006-07-13T12:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-13T13:43:18.273+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Top5 things to blow my cash on!</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A wicked digital camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;               &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BUDGET: RM1000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;New sets of 16" tyres and rims&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;                &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BUDGET: RM2000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new desktop system to put in my room, just to add more cool geek factor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;                &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BUDGET: RM1200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new Liverpool jersey from Liverpool FC online store&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;                &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BUDGET: RM200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A nice watch?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;               &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; BUDGET: RM200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GRAND FRACKIN' TOTAL:  RM4600&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats a shit load of cash to blow on a shitload of useless item.

Destined never to be as high profile as a Beckham, or a Ronaldinho, but to those who watch and study the game, and appreciate the game, Hamann is a colossus of a player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamann personifies ruthless German efficiency at its best. He plays in that unglamourous holding midfielder role, breaks up opposition play, and allows others to roam free and wild. It is a testament to the player, that many agree that the turning point of the Champions League final was when Hamann came on at half time, at which point Liverpool were already losing 3-0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/ham_dudek.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/ham_dudek.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effect of bringing Hamann on is now legendary. He completely nullified the dangerous plays of Kaka (who was on fire in the first half), and allowed other players like Gerrard, Alonso and Smicer to roam forward and tie the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the FA Cup final, he did the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Poetry in Motion...sort of..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/spt_hamann020629.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/spt_hamann020629.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching Hamann go about his business isnt very pretty, but it is very interesting. At his peak, he was considered one of the best in the business, even Real Madrid wanted him to replace Makelele. Its almost like some twisted poetry, how he glides around the pitch with his gangly limbs, and never seems to have to run at full pace to tackle anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will be missed. I think i'll go get a Liverpool jersey with his name embroided across the back.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115275863966046233?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115275863966046233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115275863966046233&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115275863966046233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115275863966046233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/dietmar-hamann.html' title='Dietmar Hamann'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115217840428151113</id><published>2006-07-06T17:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-06T17:33:24.363+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Insider Scoop: Portugal World Cup Training Methods!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I had a pretty uneventful day at work today, until my friend asked me if i wanted to look at something top secret.

This action is nothing to do with love. Why punish innocent children? Anyways, i don't think anyone will truly know what happen, no matter what the papers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/7/6/nation/14755827&amp;sec=nation"&gt;say&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.

I fear that they may be scarred for life after this. How does one have a normal childhood? I hope and i pray that the right people will be around them to guide them through this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Oh Mr.Smarty pants politician&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Datuk G. Palanivel suggested that our censorship board should cut out all scenes depicting suicide. Apparently, he is concerned that these scenes are turning into real life tragedies, as what has happened here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yay, way to go Datuk G. You've certainly got a knack at this politics stuff. You know, the stuff about just saying stupid random things which involves you doing nothing and someone else doing something. How typical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As a human being, i'd be less worried about movies, and more worried about the lack of intelligence and common sense in people these days. Are these people not getting enough education? To simply blame our problems on the movies seems like a good way of actually avoiding the problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;You tok so big&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yea, so what would i do? Well, i for one, would do something about the damned education system. I'd revamp it to actually encourage people to think for themselves, to consider the consequences of their actions. You're probably going, "thats a swell idea boy, but what should encompass this revamped education system, that actually encourages students to think, and not to cheat like the Portugese World Cup team?".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, i don't know. If i did have all the answers, i wouldn't be here rambling. I'd be sitting upon some mountain and charging people by the hour for the hour for insights into my thinking and wisdom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, what i would do, is gather all the greatest minds, the best teachers, the most gifted students in this country and brain storm the issue. Great things happen when great minds are put together for a common goal. But this will never happen in a million years. Its pure wishful thinking on my part, to ever imagine that people in this day and age, especially those who have the power to do things like this with a snap of their fingers, will actually give a rats ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115216024086982437?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115216024086982437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115216024086982437&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115216024086982437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115216024086982437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-hell-happened-to-common-sense.html' title='What the hell happened to common sense?'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115178799283414908</id><published>2006-07-02T04:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-02T05:06:32.866+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Worst Team Of The World Cup: BRAZIL</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Thats right folks. You heard it. I have officially crowned Brazil the worst team of the tournament. Some say that title should have gone to England,  or  Togo.  But nay i say. At least England had a game plan, and always tried to keep their formation. They worked hard to get better, and did. Or little Togo, well, it would be harsh on them. They are new to the World Cup, and consists of little known players.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So, why do i pick Brazil?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. Because so must was expected of them, and they failed miserable. If there was a lucky team in the World Cup, its Brazil. They got through by luck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. They played like shite, nothing like World Champions. Can you honestly say, that there was a more boring team to watch, than Brazil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. Overconfident and Arrogant. Classic example was the Ghana game. Simply passed the ball back to the opposition. They were extremely lucky that the Ghanians were simply in the mood to shoot down aeroplanes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I hope this brings them down to earth. They never looked like a 'TEAM', just a bunch of big time Charlies. Kudos to France. You deserved it. It was pure joy to watch &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.zidane.fr/"&gt;Zizou &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;in action.

They finally showed their true colours. They played a superb game of football, even though they were down to 10 men in the second half.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Until the sending off of Rooney, England were by far the better team, even if the stats did not back up that claim. On top of that, they were STILL the better team after the second half. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It must have been gut wrenching to go out that way. Portugal were a pale shadow of themselves. I think that is down to the performance of the England players, in particular, Owen Hargreaves, who on the basis of this performance, should be a permanent feature of future England squads. He was the engine room of England, tirelessly running down everything, even in extra time. I want to know what the hell these Bayern Munich bastards are feeding him. He must be man-of-the-match.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Also, i think Sven and Mclaren got their tactics absolutely spot on. Scolari couldn't do anything. Perhaps Portugal missed the influence of Deco more than they expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The good and the bad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My bro think Gerrard had a bad game. I beg to differ. I think he was the one midfielder that was actually creating chances for England.  As when England were down to 10 men, i think he tired out very fast, which was not unexpected, as he was closing down lots of space, and if you consider the long season that he's had, well...he isnt Superman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Aaron Lennon was superb when he came on. He's taken to the international scene like fish in water. Beckham, i'm sorry, but i don't see you in future England squads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ashley Cole and Ferdinand were immense in defence. Crouch was excellent when he came on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Lampard, *sigh*. I really can't say anything. You couldnt even score from the penalty spot. You'll be going home as one of the biggest dissapointments of the tournament. Shame on you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The entire Portugese squad, hmmm...i honestly can't pick any outstanding players out. Though, i have to say, they do a very good job of acting. Disgraceful. I can't believe this cheating team is going through. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;Penalties, oh how i hate thee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In the end, England only have themselves to blame. They took some very poor penalties. And kudos to Ricardo, his guesses was right. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://soccernet-att.espn.go.com/design05/images/domr/AlexandreRicardo_me_e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://soccernet-att.espn.go.com/design05/images/domr/AlexandreRicardo_me_e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This was by far, the most tiring game of football i have watched, on par with the recent Liverpool Champions League final win, only this time, i was filled with dissapointment of what 'might have been'. Sitting down and experiencing wave and wave of excitement, tension, boringness, mind fucked ness and so on and so forth, really taxes the body. I don't even feel excited to watch the Brazil v France game!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;P.S This is probably a good time for Cristiano Ronaldo to head off out of England, to Real Madrid or something. I don't forsee him surviving in England long after scoring the winning penalty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115178112222791052?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115178112222791052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115178112222791052&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115178112222791052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115178112222791052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/07/england-oh-england-why-have-you.html' title='England Oh England, Why have you Forsaken me?'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115164606234789896</id><published>2006-06-30T11:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-30T13:46:16.473+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Superman Returns in style</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2006/06/28/superman_returns/story.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2006/06/28/superman_returns/story.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;How do you make a &lt;a href="http://supermanreturns.warnerbros.com/"&gt;movie &lt;/a&gt;about a  grown man, who has 2 identities, and one of them involves wearing blue tights, red underwear (on the outside),boots and a cape to top it off ? Not to mention a ridiculous twirl in his hair. Perhaps more importantly, how do you make such a movie, not look dumb and impossibly retarded in this day and age?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Simple really. You get &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Singer"&gt;Bryan Singer&lt;/a&gt; to do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Even though we didnt get to watch it in the THX cinema last night, i thoroughly enjoyed myself. Its not very often that i go to a movie with high expectations, and leave with it intact! An example of a movie that &lt;a href="http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/05/x-men-3-was-waste-of-rm10_31.html"&gt;totally backfired&lt;/a&gt; recently was Xmen 3. *sigh* What a dumbass movie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;No, i shall not reveal any spoilers. I'm a nice movie critic, so rest assured, you can read on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stars of the show&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;To be honest, the entire cast was superb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Brandon Routh does a good job portraying a hurt and sad Superman, as well as playing the geeky clumsy Clark Kent. From zero to hero. Literally. Just hope the 'curse' that affected all those actors who played Superman doesnt affect him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Kevin Spacey was awesome as Lex Luthor. As the movie wore on, you really really start to hate him more and more. Thats how good he played his part.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, i think the stars of the show, was deffinately the screenplay writers. They did a great job. The story and the script was great. It was unique, funny and had very good plot twists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Costume&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The costume was different. It was never going to be cool, but i guess its the person that makes the clothes look good. The red underwear seems to have changed shaped a bit, from that normal men's brief's V design, to a more tight fitting boxer short style.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sg.hu/kep/2005_09/0907superman06.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.sg.hu/kep/2005_09/0907superman06.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The cape seems almost leatherly. I can't decide if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Though, if i was Superman, i would have liked it to be a little bit longer. Hmm, on the other hand, if i was Superman, i wouldnt wear that ridiculous outfit. I'd steal Batman's costume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/elsewa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/elsewa.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Action figures sold seperately&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;One thing though, if you're going to watch this movie expecting lots of action and things blowing up ala Mission Impossible 3, you're going to be very dissapointed. I suspect a lot of people will not enjoy the movie because of this. Dumb asses. Everyone these days just wants action and lots of sex in the movies. If you want that, go watch Porn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The movie is a good mix of action and drama, along the lines of Xmen and Spiderman. My friend commented, that its sorta like Korean movies =  story, action, cry, story, action, cry, story. Not too sure how accurate that statement was, as i havent watched any Korean stuff before, but in regards to this movie, i'd say its one way to describe it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As much as i'd like to see more Superman movies, i hope that they wont make anymore. Please do no spoil it by making a sequel just for the sake of it. But if they do, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;please please please&lt;/span&gt; make sure Bryan Singer is at the helm!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115164606234789896?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115164606234789896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115164606234789896&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115164606234789896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115164606234789896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/superman-returns-in-style.html' title='Superman Returns in style'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115155204413034330</id><published>2006-06-29T10:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-29T11:34:04.276+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I hate watching world class players dive</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/_41820896_henrypuyolfordan203.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/_41820896_henrypuyolfordan203.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Henry chases the ball. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Puyol, the crazy haired Spanish defender is in his path, as he too chases the ball. Puyol however, realises that his left back, Mariano Perina, would reach the ball first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Puyol then decides to slow down his pace, and put his body in the way of Henry and the ball, thus increasing the chances of Perina retrieving the ball and passing it to a Spanish player, and hopefully, start another attack going.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Henry pace however, does not let off. He knows he's lighting quick. He knows if he puts enough pressure on the defenders, something might go his way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But Henry at full speed, fails to negotiate around a limbering Puyol and runs smack into the back of him! Kapow!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In that instant of a second, the theatrical antics of his French side take and speaks to him, "Hold ye face as though u'd been bitchslapped, even though Puyol's arms only touched your tits, fall over and do a couple of rolls"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Even though the rolls weren't executed properly, heck, they werent even executed at all, the 'acting' was enough to captivate the referee and award a free kick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;France graciously accepts, and floats one into the penalty box. Xabi Alonso is first to reach it, but his header simply pushes the ball back into the path of an on-rushing Viera. World class players don't miss from that range. France 2 - Spain 1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dissapointing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Players dive all the time. I don't mind if an average player dives, because sometimes thats the only skill they have. Sometimes, its the only way they can win things for their team. But its still not right, though sorta acceptable in a world where nothing is black and white, but grey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But when a truly top class player, who's blessed with an abundance of talent, and can win games singlehandedly with the flick of his boot..... resorts to diving, it just makes me sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This applies to every World Class player that i love to watch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I am absolutely disgusted to see my heroes do this. The worst part of all, is that i don't think this 'disease' is going to go away. Younger players will learn from this. Kids watching will learn from this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Referee's, will have a hard time curbing this, unless the use to camera replays are implemented. I suggest the fourth referee do something more usefull, like have a TV set in front of him, and make decisions based on the replays. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Frankly speaking, i wouldn't have seen the dive by Henry without the instant replay. It looked a clear foul when it happened, and thus, no blame is attached to the referee for missing it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Overall though, its been a good World Cup. I'm loving every second of it. Ok, i've run out of things to say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115155204413034330?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115155204413034330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115155204413034330&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115155204413034330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115155204413034330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-hate-watching-world-class-players.html' title='I hate watching world class players dive'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115134309138467670</id><published>2006-06-27T01:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-27T01:31:31.500+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Italians through, Ozzies out. What a game!</title><content type='html'>Even though the final score was just a 1-0 win to the Italians, i thoroughly enjoyed the game. I especially enjoyed it more after Italy got a man sent off, Marco Materazzi. I still can't quite understand how this giant defender can play so well for Inter Milan, and get into the Italian national team, but play like a total shite when he was at other clubs. I'm sure you Everton fans know what i mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy makes defending such a joy to watch. Even more so when they were down to 10 men, and all one can do is marvel at the skill and athelthecism of their players. Ever muscle and tendon in their bodies seem to be built for defending. Their minds know instinctively what needs defending. But overall, the most amazing thing about them, is that they never ever panic. Even when it seems like they are panicking and launching the balls into no where, its almost with a calm assurance that they know they can handle whatever the opposition throws at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, i guess it doesnt hurt to be good looking as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall though, it was a rotten way for Australia to get knocked out. A penalty awarded in the dying seconds. Tough luck. Thats football. However, having said that, i believe Italy were the better team thorought. Their attacks were incisive and effective. Their passing was thoughtful. Need i go on about their defending?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia on the other had, looked depleted without creative and forceful players like Kewell and Emerton. They struggled badly to break down the Italians. There was a lot of effort, but there was no one to provide that killer pass, that precise throughball that can split defences and win games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy, looked like they had 10 players who could do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a game, what a World Cup. Once again, i have to lament how i hate that i have to work in the mornings, and can't watch all these games. *sigh*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115134309138467670?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115134309138467670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115134309138467670&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115134309138467670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115134309138467670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/italians-through-ozzies-out-what-game.html' title='Italians through, Ozzies out.

And it holds the enviable power of being able to halt employees from going to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sigh* what would we do without em...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115133319588038677?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115133319588038677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115133319588038677&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115133319588038677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115133319588038677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/too-much-of-good-thing-is-bad-for-you.html' title='Too much of a good thing is bad for you'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115105516273505702</id><published>2006-06-23T16:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T17:32:42.836+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gimme a 3 hour lunch break!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Just got back from lunch about an hour ago. We drove down to Dengkil to have some 'banana leaf'. To anyone not familliar with Malaysian Cuisine, don't worry. We dont actually eat the leaf. We just eat the dishes served ON the leaf. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Also, anyone else working in Cyberjaya, will know why we drive outside of Cyberjaya to eat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;As usual, its pretty uncomfortable for me to go to Indian shops, as everyone starts talking to me in Tamil and expecting me know it. As usual, i have to reply like a dumbass, "Boss, saya tak tau cakap Tamil la". Then they'll go on asking me in questions in Tamil, about whether i really can't speak and laugh with my other friends who proceed to explain that i'm a retard who can't speak it...at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;*sigh* One of these days, im really going to have to do something about that!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyways, after i overcame the humiliation of it all, i ordered drinks and such and proceeded to fill my stomach with awesomely good food . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Got back to the office an hour later, sat down at my cubicle to do some work, and thats when it hit me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A wave of tiredness just swept over my eyes and my body. I could hardly keep awake. The alphabets on the screen started to merge with one another. The frequency of yawns began to escalate. I felt an uneasy tension of my muscles on my arms and legs, a tension that only a good strech and a nap could cure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness the boss left half and hour after we came back. Else i think he would have found me snoozing at my table and drooling all over my laptop.  Wouldnt be a pretty sight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;This happens everytime after lunch. Its absolutely irritating! I wish i could skip lunch, but i can't. The stomach rules. If i was Prime Minister, i would make 3 hour lunch times and a comfortable sleeping room mandatory for all organizations. This is for the safety and benefit of the country. We don't want people, especialy those with very important positions to fall asleep on the job and accidentally blow up Singapore. Well, they can blow up Singapore, but not Thailand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;These people would take rotating lunch shifts, so everyone gets a turn to snooze. Its pure heavenly bliss! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If i had 3 hour lunch breaks, i'd drive back to Subang and take a snooze in me 'ol comfy bed. Ahhhh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115105516273505702?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115105516273505702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115105516273505702&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115105516273505702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115105516273505702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/gimme-3-hour-lunch-break.html' title='Gimme a 3 hour lunch break!'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115102891247865386</id><published>2006-06-23T09:50:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T10:17:29.696+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Liverpool sign Bellamy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/images4/220606_bellamy_120_03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 99px;" src="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/images4/220606_bellamy_120_03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Its official.

He's even given his first &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N152689060622-1524.htm"&gt;interview &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;to Liverpoolfc.tv.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think he's a great signing, and extremely worth the money. Its hard to find a quality striker, who's blessed with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;abundant pace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, scores bags of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;goals &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;in the premiership and works &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;hard &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;for the team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Those 3 qualities should be enough for him to be regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, but the problem with him is his temperment. That part of him has always been shaky. I'm sure he knows Rafa doesnt have the patience for players who dont play their part. Just ask Cisse and Morientes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.allsportgallery.co.uk/previews/56435885ca.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 190px;" src="http://www.allsportgallery.co.uk/previews/56435885ca.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the down side of things, i hope this isnt the end for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/squad/sinamapongolle/"&gt;Sinama-Pongolle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;. When he first came to Liverpool together with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/squad/letallec/"&gt;La Tallec&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, big things were expected of them. Though i've always preferred La Tallec, as he's a stylish flair player in the mould of Bergkamp and Litmanen, Sinama seems more effective to the style of the Premiership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's shown a great attitude and a willing ness to work hard for the team. He's about the same build as Bellamy too, so attitude and tempermant apart, they're almost exactly the same type of player. It would be great if we could keep Sinama, who is blessed with good pace as well, a necessary element for any player who wants to make it in the EPL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;If Bellamy performs anywhere near as how he has for his previous clubs, then he would have been a great signing already. Lets hope the pressure of playing for one of the worlds most illustrious clubs won't 'weigh' him down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115102891247865386?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115102891247865386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115102891247865386&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115102891247865386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115102891247865386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/liverpool-sign-bellamy.html' title='Liverpool sign Bellamy'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115096246806749059</id><published>2006-06-22T13:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-22T15:47:48.233+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The revolution begins - ZINDEE.COM !</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Zindawha' ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Zindee.com baby. Yes, its going to be the next best thing since toilet paper. It will give you an orgasm like never before. No, its not porn. well, maybe not yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Its actually a domain name i purchased. I got the inspiration for this domain from Star Trek: Enterprise. In the 3rd season, Captain Archer and crew go on this incredible journey to seek out this alien species, that threatens to decimate the entire human civilisation. Keep in mind, that in this series Enterprise, is actually pre-Captain Kirk and his philandeering ways. The damned ship didnt even have shields. Transporters were just developed and humans didnt trust the damn technology. Heck, even their phasers couldnt even kill a rat. And to top it all, the entire season 3 was one big long story arc about this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                   &lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/startrekenterprise.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/startrekenterprise.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Oh, before i forget, the alien species was called Xindi. Geez, this is what happens when i start talking about Star Trek and all things sci-fi. I stray off topic, just like a teenage girl having a conversation with her teenage girl best friend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyway, enough about Star Trek..for now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Zin me up baby!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I haven't really decided what to do with this domain. I've already got free hosting, as its one of the perks of working IN a hosting company. *cue for evil laughter*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I had a few types of servers/hosting types to choose from, like Windows, Linux, Plesk or even Plesk VPS. But i decided for the Plesk. I do a lot of troubleshooting work for my Plesk customers, hence, i think i know it quite well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;When i say 'a lot of troubleshooting', i don't mean that the software itself is problematic or buggy. It just means that customers are dumb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;For example, Dumbass Customer 1 (lets call him DC1) calls up and asks all sorts of silly question, when infact, all he had to do to get the answers was simply click the 'help' button. Really, the help function in Plesk is all one needs. Perhaps he had gotten numb to the word help. As  Malaysians, we always think that when someone asks for help from us, some where in the back of our minds, in the far reaches of consciousness, there is a "department" that goes into overdrive, thinking how this person is just going to screw up over for all the help we've given them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Maybe help should simply be changed to "before you call tech support, click here. IGNORANT RETARD!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hmm, maybe it would be better if everything before the word "..here." was left out. The remaining portion is quite sufficient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyways, DC1 then asks something totally moronic, "How do i upload my files, please show me step by step oh  wise tech support person, as i am  a moron of  galactic porportions".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In the spirit of kindness and all that is good and sweet smelling, i reply him, "You piece of cow dung, what do you think the button called 'upload' means?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;DC1 "Thank you oh Thank you great master. You are truly strong in the Force. I bow to your bungholio"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Me "Yah yah ya.quit your whining you fool. Your mama so fat, that when she farted she launched herself into orbit. Bye and have a nice day!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;BLANK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So what do i do with my new domain? I need to sit and properly think this though. I'm very excited to have a piece of my own on the net, but i'm sorta excited over nothing...literally. So far, i've got a few ideas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. Post naked pictures of my butt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. Install a blog software and blog from there (that means this current blog will be discontinued)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. Sell something. I dont know what yet. Maybe i can sell naked pictures of my butt. Hmm, maybe not, i might attrack gays and women with strapons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;4. Start an online community. I dont know what kind though. Maybe something for me and my friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;5. Just leave it empty, and wait for someone to offer me $5,000,000 for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Decisions decisions....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115096246806749059?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115096246806749059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115096246806749059&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115096246806749059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115096246806749059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/revolution-begins-zindeecom.html' title='The revolution begins - ZINDEE.COM !'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115086625182103376</id><published>2006-06-21T09:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-21T13:07:25.166+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The England Crisis</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yes, english people all over that blady island are in a crisis. They're team, so long held up as one of the best teams in the world, have quite frankly, been playing like shite in the world cup games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The team seems sluggish, perhaps burdened by the expectations of an entire country. Imagine that , these expectations could be measured. Also, imagine that on average, an english fan's expectations for their country to do well in the World Cup is about 50kg. That should be roughly 1/3 of their weight. Fat bastards. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anyways, expand your imagination further, and imagine, if only just 1/4 of their population expected Beckham and gang to do well, so thats 60 million fat bastards divided by 4 which is ...ermm....damnit, where's that calculator....hmm...what does the divided sign look like again eh......AHHH!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;15 Million Fat Bastard England fans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Now, if the expectations of 15 million bastards were collectively weighed down on the English team, that means that they'd have to withstand a grand total of 750,000,000 kg. And if they're all drunk, just multiply this number by 1000. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Now,  i truly understand why i learnt maths. Its to be used in comprehending pathetic team performances by England as well as calculating the gravitational forces that affect Peter Crouch and Pamela Anderson's boobs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anyways, i think "Sven's Men" were pumped with hulk-like porpotions of steroids or something, because for the first 45 minutes of the England v Sweden game, they managed to lift the burden of them and actuall play good decent, passing and attacking football. I actually managed to get through it without more than 2 yawns! Amazing!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, it didnt last through the 2nd half though. Was yawning like mad. But still, there were plenty of plus points, like the performance of Rooney, Hargreaves and 2 Cole's. However, Senor Beckham, Lampard and Carragher had truly woeful games. I'm surpised we didnt see Aaron Lennon play this morning. He seems like a real handful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, here's a good England joke i found:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rumours that England midfielder Frank Lampard was seen successfully seducing a young woman in a Danish nightclub with a one-liner have been completely refuted by the English FA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An FA spokesman stated: "I find it totally preposterous to suggest that one of our players could make a successful pass to or at anyone."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115086625182103376?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115086625182103376/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115086625182103376&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115086625182103376'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115086625182103376'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/england-crisis.html' title='The England Crisis'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-115082213190481216</id><published>2006-06-20T23:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-21T00:48:52.063+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Goodbye my friend</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/19447535717439l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/19447535717439l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've known you for the better part of 15 years i think. I still remember the day Mum found you. We were outside, in the garden. I think i was trying to kill some ants, or was i playing badminton. Mum was doing her normal gardening. Then  i heard her calling us frantically, to come see some dog, You.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were under a car, that was parked right infront of our neighbours house. You looked scared, but brave. You even growled at us as we tried to feed you. You never left us since, until tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/picture10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/picture10.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was hard to let you go. A part of me thought you would live forever, or at least as long as me. You never looked your age. In human years, you'd be more than 100 years old! And still you looked as cute as a puppy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i wished i was a kid, least things like this wouldnt hurt so much, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if i'll ever love a dog as much as i loved you. Sappy, i know. But its true. There was something about you that made you so loveable by all. In fact, you weren't just a dog to us. You were one of us, a member of the family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/butch2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/butch2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes you were too human, which was irritating at times. Like how you had 'selective' hearing. And how you could unlock the side gate latch with your nose to get out. And how you always wanted to be with everyone in the house whenever we had any guests at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You weren't a Lassie or anything. You certainly didnt save us from snakes or wolves. But what you did do, was giving us 15 years of joy and love.

Be prepared to be subjected to the full hypnotic gazeof my big brown eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It could be worse.

Waiting for the Brazil v Australia game to start. *yawn* I'm extremely tired and sleepy. Had a good round of futsal earlier. I tried to cut back on the fancy turns and twists (im still cankled) that never work, and just tried to pass the ball around. Surprisingly, its quite fun to actually pass to a teamate, rather than running with the ball and trying to execute fancy skills but end up looking like a retard. Really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Red Underwears and Blue Capes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does one get away wearing a blue cape and a red underwear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy, just come from the planet Krypton, and land on an alien planet where people are dumb. Also, this planet must have a Sun nearby where you can absorb tremendous amounts of energy to whoop bad guys for fun. It helps if you're a bit good looking. Butt ugly people, well, you'll still be butt ugly, so don't even bother.

Also, after the success of the recent Batman movie, expectations are high to produce a similiarly quality film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like they got it right with the storyline. Basically, Superman comes back to earth after a long time, and finds that the people of earth have learnt to survive without him, and that even Lois Lane has moved on.

Those were the days, when i could subject my mind and body to pure unfiltered footballing action. *sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;More reasons to hate working.

Its the same injury that i got about 3 weeks ago playing futsal. Tried to do one two many Ronaldinho skills today at Rio. Frack. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Lesson to all: Only attempt Ronaldinho skills if you are Ronaldinho. I dont care that you think or are the butt-ugliest person, thats no excuse to try his skills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hopefully, i won't have to retire from the game...hahaha. I hope the injury isnt serious. This is seriously affecting my gym activities. Haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks, even the coach called me up at home and ask what the frack happened to me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Just slapped some deep heating rub on the sore area. After a while, it makes the whole area really cold. I think this ointment works by replacing the pain in the ankle with numbing coldness. I dont mind. I kinda like it. I just might try slapping it on in other "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;areas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;", just to see how it feels like.

He even admitted as much in one interview. Perhaps he had been taking lessons from his manager about how to brutally honest and shocking at the same time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/01/05/wbdrogba_wideweb__430x303.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/01/05/wbdrogba_wideweb__430x303.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But perhaps, he's used those criticisms, to change his game somewhat. I was particularly impressed by the way he was hacked down by Heinze, but got back up immediately, turned to face him, and with some nifty footwork, stuck past 2 players and got a shot on goal. Many players would have just used the oppurtunity to get a freekick or a penalty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I've noticed him play like this, like a man possessed during the last few weeks of the EPL. The only word which comes to mind when i see him play like this is : INSPIRATIONAL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The only other player who i know plays like this is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Gerrard"&gt;Steven Gerrard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.

Grow long hair?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. Talk crap?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. Worship Liverpool FC?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;4. How to drink alcohol like the devil and not get a hangover?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Hmm, other than No.3, i don't think the others are matters of  'substance'. Perhaps this requires more thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-115001425461472678?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/115001425461472678/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=115001425461472678&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115001425461472678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/115001425461472678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/inspired-to-inspire.html' title='Inspired to Inspire'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114985350812721783</id><published>2006-06-09T19:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-09T19:45:08.270+08:00</updated><title type='text'>sigh urgh yay</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Was just about to leave work, and  work just slams into my face. *sigh* I hope they realise that they're interefering with my life! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Yeah, right, a 9-6 job it seems. Its freaking 7.29pm now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ok, i know i whine a lot about the job, but i'm only whining to you Mr.Blog. I don't really wanna whine to anyone else. People dont like whiny people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;I like my sugar with coffee and cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Am quite interested to know what people think of the new Omen. When i say people, i'm referring to people who've never seen the original. Wonder if they'll like it. Releasing it on 06.06.06 certainly was a good marketing scheme. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ah, the entertainment business, the only business that can get away with milking the devil. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Great Balls!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;World Cup starts tonight. I'm actually strangely not as excited as i should be. Perhaps all that commercials has killed by excitement. Sometimes its better to not know in detail what the hell is going on, and just experience it. Here are my teams of choice in order:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. England&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Personally, i hope Owen gets injured, and they play a 4-5-1 formation with Crouchy leading the line and Lampart+Gerrard bombing forward. Alas, this isnt Championship Manager, and seldom do i get to play Reality Manager.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. Czech Republic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I've supported them mainly because i was a fan of Patrik Berger. Such a shame. So much talent, and so much injuries. Didnt he score a hattrick on his debut for Liverpool, against Chelsea of all clubs? Hahah! Something like that. Anyways, they play great football, though they're a bit soft at the back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. Ivory Coast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Drogba infront and Toure at the back. That sounds like a good recipe for any team to do well. Should be interesting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-114985350812721783?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/114985350812721783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=114985350812721783&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114985350812721783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114985350812721783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/sigh-urgh-yay.html' title='sigh urgh yay'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114926428849362065</id><published>2006-06-02T23:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-03T00:04:48.593+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Its friday night, and i'm back in the office</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I try to not to remind myself that its the weekend.

Hallelujah! Whenever there is a successful server reboot, we adorn network cables of different colour, turn off the lights, and dance around an overlit monitor. Then we all chant in geek terminology, "Kernel Ram Gates Mouse Skywalker my Lightsaber Framework" Thats my favourite, because i have absolutely no idea what it means. I think its encoded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Who ever said being a systems administrator is a boring job?

"tah ta da... da da da da da da dah da dahhhhh......." If i was really a good blogger, i'd find that music clip and put a link here for you to listen. But i think you know it by heart already. Who doesnt right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Whenever i see that intro clip, i always think i'm gonna be watching a Star Wars movie. For a split second, my heart skips in anticipation, but then my brain kicks in and reminds me Star Wars is dead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;*sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Guess the closest i'm gonna get is to read the books. Not that i mind though, i love reading Star Wars books. The best is still Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. I'm not an expert at reviewing books, but i think Zahn's style is extremely easy to read, and you never feel lost. An ignorant fool who thinks Star Wars is some Nasa breakfast cereal, would enjoy reading his works.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The longer i sat, in total stealth mode, it occurred to me, that the Star Wars universe is largely untapped, from a cinema point of view. Sure, hundreds of books and comics have been written, about stories that were hundreds of years before Vader's time, and stories that were hundreds of years after that time period. But cinema wise, we've only been shown what happens during a particularly short period of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Wouldnt it be great if we were to be shown a completely new set of hero's and heroines to worship? For example, we could fast forward into the future, where Han and Leia had married, and had 3 kids:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. Jaina &amp; Jacen (twins)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. Anakin (yes, they name the kid after ol'Darthy)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;By the way, i aint making this stuff up, its in the Star Wars books. Go read, NOW. Its quite fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Speaking of which, i came across a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.leiasmetalbikini.com/"&gt;site &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;which is solely dedicated to all things about Princess Leia's metal bikini, which was worn in "Return Of The Jedi". Weird, but strangely arousing. One can even purchase your own bikini set.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/barge6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/barge6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;girls, if you wanna look sexy AND angry, wear a metal bikini&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My favourite Star Wars character? Han Solo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Well, if they ever do make another Star Wars movie, i hope the actors don't upgrade themselves into over-actors. Just have fun and enjoy the moment. Script writers, please try to be creative and not kill the actors careers with boring lines. Directors, gosh, try not to make the movie so uptight, like it was going to let loose a huge universe splitting Force Fart. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Star Wars is supposed to be fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-114922557209673029?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/114922557209673029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=114922557209673029&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114922557209673029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114922557209673029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-long-for-star-wars-movie.html' title='I long for a Star Wars movie'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114904135999128576</id><published>2006-05-31T09:46:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-31T10:09:19.996+08:00</updated><title type='text'>X-Men 3 was a waste of RM10</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I should have just gone to see some friends and talked crap.

The only things which i liked about the movie:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. The Phoenix&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. Iceman whooping Pyro's ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. The Juggernaut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;4. Kitty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Some of the things in the movie seemed pointless, and out of place. Seemed like certain characters got put in there just for the sake of it. Like Angel. I can think of a million things i could do with his character, but his character didnt do much. Same goes for Rogue. Even Mystique was un-Mystique like. And Mystique seemed fat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/x1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/x1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;goodness, mystique, you need to shed  few pounds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And the best part of the movie was the ending. Not that the ending was damned great, but because for a movie that was named "The Last Stand", it still leaves open the opportunity to make "The Real Last Stand after the Previous Stand" and save this whole franschise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The movie tries to shock audiences with some pretty insanely shocking plot twists, like killing 2 major X-Men. I'll give them some points for that, but even so, their deaths looked tame, and rushed. Even the music didnt help.

Dirty Bastards!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;In short, this book is a follow up to another book called Built To Last, which is about visionary companies that became extraordinary, and what is was that made them extraordinary.  Sounds interesting, i'd certainly like to know what made these companies and their CEO's tick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;A few things grabbed my attention from this article, and really made sense. One of them was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;"We learned that whether you are Jack Welch or the Dalai Lama, it is dangerous not to do what you love. If you don’t have a level of passion that drives your thinking about what you’re doing day in and day out, there will be others out there who are passionate who will &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;overtake and outrun&lt;/span&gt; you. People who care will take the initiative away from those who are half-hearted. So loving what you do is a competitive imperative, not simply a nice thing to have."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;But on average, how many of us are truly doing what we love? Whether it be making money (be a loan shark) or making love (be a porn star), how many of us have tried to do what we love? Even i can't make this claim, that my profession is actually what i love doing. Though, strangely, i'm starting to love my work more and more. Its sorta like an arranged marriage, not love at first sight. Hopefully my boss keeps "bribing" me more often, to keep me in love with the company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;The other thing that got my whiskers twitching was :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;Some people have enormous setbacks   in their lives, or they make mistakes, but you have to learnt from your mistakes.   As Quincy Jones, the musician, asked us, when was the last time you &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;actually   &lt;/span&gt;did that? When did you take the lessons from a setback and put them to use?   These people were very consistent about looking to success and failure as feedback. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;Damn true. We always talked about how we'll learn from our mistakes bla bla bla yada yada yada. But has it been all talk? On a personal level. I'd say its 50/50. I don't think i've really learnt from my mistakes. For starters, i know i still indulge in a little porn once in a while. (Stop gasping for air! I'm not the awesomely macho and goodlooking angel that i seem to be! I'm just awesomely macho and goodlooking.) Though not all of you out there may agree that it is a mistake, i think its a mistake for me. Not in a religious sense, but it just feels that way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;There was this one scene in "Scent of a Woman", where Al Pacino's character says something along the lines, "Everyone knows without question, the difference between right and wrong". Might be just a 'croc of shit', but when Al Pacino says it, it must be true!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i guess i've still got time to learn. Afterall, youth is for the young, to make mistakes and learn from it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-114896292406774978?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/114896292406774978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=114896292406774978&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114896292406774978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114896292406774978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/05/love-your-mistakes.html' title='Love your mistakes'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114862079316451515</id><published>2006-05-26T10:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-26T13:19:53.276+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I love looking at my desktop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/desktop1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/400/desktop1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I got the background shot from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.deviantart.com"&gt;Deviantart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.

Belly still looks floppy. Haha. I always say, "too much of a good thing is bad for you". Now i'm eating my own words. In my case, the 'good thing' was weekly overdoses of beer and liquor and 'Fat Man Steamboat'. Gotta love that fat man's steamboat.

Make more money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But that's probably everybody's personal organization goal anyway. And you know what else, there's probably some fine print somewhere that says "Making more money" is not an allowed or acceptable personal organizational goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They would probably give me a trophy and a discount voucher if i changed it to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Fucking stinker. Up till the 18th minute, it was the final everyone wanted it to me. 2 really attacking teams playing good football. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Sure, those on the side of the referee will say that by the letter of the law, sending off Lehmann was absolutely 100% correct. I agree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;However, sometimes, even the law can be "bent" in certain situations to serve a greater good. For example, your loved one is dying on his deathbed, in a hospital, and in your hastiness to reach him/her, you beat a few traffic lights. Now, any police officer, who upon hearing your reason for breaking the law, would be daft to issue you a summons. What the police officer should and would probably do is, shove the summons up some monkeys ass, and escort you at full speed to the hospital. You see, fracking common sense!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So, what the referee should have done, is let play go on,  because even though Lehmann brough Etoo down, Etoo managed to pass the ball to Guily to score. Now, if Barcelona hadn't won last night, we wouldnt have heard the end of it. Come on ref, you've got a brain, you've proved that it exists by your ability to consistently blow a whistle. If you ever referee another final in your career, i hope you do it with more commom sense. Let the game flow. Let it be 11 vs 11. You've ruined what could have been a great game, instead of a lopsided tactical game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;Death for Self Defence? Brilliant!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Women of the world, take heed. If ye should ever need to defend yourself against some looney with a hardon for you, DONT DO IT IN IRAN FOR GOODNESS SAKE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If you don't bring witnesses to see you defending yourself from being raped, you might as well just lay there and enjoy it. Either way, its either the looney bin that rapes you, or the government of Iran rapes you. Read the full story &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/17/170310.php"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;please&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; sign the petition &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.petitiononline.com/Nazanin/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Makes you wonder doesnt it, why an archaic law like this hasnt been changed yet? This dumbass law protects the rapists more than the victim. Also, if i'm not mistaken, we are living in the year 2006 right? not 1870? *cue for twilight zone theme song*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;If the people of Islam really wanna do themselves a favour, they can start by NOT protecting all their horny serial rapists men. And geez, whats with this fascination about hating dogs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;DISCLAIMER: i've generalized greatly, so don't take offence if you're offended. However, if you insist on being offended, then perhaps you need to take that summons outta that monkeys ass and shove it up yours.  Perhaps it will numb the pain of being offended.

Was kinda sick since Friday, which was the reason for the slowness. I surprised myself actually. It usually takes me a at least 3-4 days to get over a sore throat and/or fever. But this time, i got it sorted in bout 2 days. The secret is to have a whole pack of "fisherman friend's" and drinking a shit load of hot/warm water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got some pretty depressing news from Gopi, that a good friend of ours was in some deep shit. Nothing much we can do for him. But i was sick to the stomach, wondering if i, or we had failed him as friends. I hope he stops wasting his life away...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.27 am now. Just finished up the last bits of a report, and sent it in to my boss. Work's getting complicated thesedays. Paperwork and shit. Frack. Sometimes i think i should just sell burgers. The only paper work involved is wrapping the damned burgers with papery stuff. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Played 2 friggin hours of futsal earlier in rio. I know, 2 hours is crazy..but its not so crazy when we had 3 teams. So basically it was a good ol game of 'winner stay'. Good fun. Scored a goal. Played keeper for most of games, because no one else wanted to, and i think im getting pretty decent at it. I think it was during my teams 2nd game, i asked someone else to take over keeper, and proceeded to run like a rabies infested dog all over the court. Fucking hell, was so damn exhausted after that 10 min game that i literally couldnt speak. All i could do was sit down, wipe the sweat that was flowing at insane speeds, and gulp water at superhuman speeds. But it was worth it. There pure unadulterated fun of chasing a rubber ball. You girls will never understand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;My hair is wet. So damned lazy to dry it off. I'd rather sit on my chair, rest my hair on top and let the fan dry it off. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I find myself thinking of a sea cucumbers all day long thesedays....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-114702360750926373?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/114702360750926373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=114702360750926373&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114702360750926373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114702360750926373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/05/another-weekend-passes.html' title='Another weekend passes..'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114620676806775584</id><published>2006-04-28T14:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-28T14:51:14.636+08:00</updated><title type='text'>holy frack. i just drew something in 3D!</title><content type='html'>Thanks to those wonderful people at  Google,  i have just managed to  create something in 3D.

How 'NOT' suprising...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1.

And MIC did shit. How 'NOT' suprising as well. Also, there was a notice sent, by the local council, announcing that they were gonna demolish it. Suprise surpise, after a few days, the local council totally denies it was going to demolish the temple, saying it was a misunderstanding and that they just wanted to demolish the perimeter concrete wall that was erected without proper approval. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Yea, right, if that is what they wanted to do, they could have easily have stated it in the notice.

Instead it was demolished against the cries of appeals by Hindu devotees."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;6.

They also noted that jewellery belonging to the temple had gone missing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;"&gt;It's one thing to demolish a building whether it's a temple or some other shelter, but it's another to deliberately smash icons of worship with rotans.

Wait, what am i getting so up tight about? Don't i sound just like every other Malaysian? Yea, Malaysia Boleh!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;1. Rock Concerts! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;For goodsake, can we start have proper concerts by artists who arent past their prime eg Scorpions, Deep Purple? Geez, the only band of any worth that came down was Incubus. I am so privileged to say that i went for that one. What a blast! Now, if only they could bring in the likes of Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Tool, just to name a few...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;2. Reasonably Priced Cars (Fuck Proton!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Proton. Hmph. Just another way the country fucks us in the ass and expects us to smile and say thank you. Doesnt anyone else find it insulting that the cars exported are of higher quality than the local ones? And because of Proton, every other car's prices is jacked up. *sigh* I want my Mazda 6.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;3. Clubs that close at 5am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Recently, clubs in PJ have been forced to start closing at 1am. Its either that, or the clubs themselves get closed for good. KL clubs close pretty much at 3am. Sometimes, i just need more time to parade my retarded dancing skills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;4. Nationwide Recycling (and better garbage trucks)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I was quite impressed to hear that in Germany, they dont have 1 thrash can, but 3!! Each to seperate recycable products. And the garbage trucks pick it up everyday, the people dont have to go to recycling centers. Now thats what you call responsibility to the environment. Oh, and can someone please tell our damned garbage trucks to stop compressing the garbage in the middle of our streets and letting the foul smelling liquids spill out and ...well..just foul up the whole place! Frackers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;5. More Star Trek&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yes, this country needs to learn more from the likes of Picard and Spock. These enlightened heroes have much to offer this backwards thinking country. An existence where the humanity isnt driven by material wealth, but by the urge to explore, and learn..to seek out new life and new civilisations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before. Sorry, i couldnt resist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;You know, i just realised last night (wine and whisky makes me think more), that we can have about a million laws in place, but these laws will be simply words in a book unless we have a society that is willing to respects its laws. By society, i mean the public, as well as the people in governments. We're simply too backwards thinking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9296612-114516297618910021?l=whymebecause.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/feeds/114516297618910021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9296612&amp;postID=114516297618910021&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114516297618910021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9296612/posts/default/114516297618910021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whymebecause.blogspot.com/2006/04/malaysia-wish-list.html' title='Malaysia: The wish list'/><author><name>::Lord Apprentice::</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11750322931415969795</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9527/660724159070alb4qf.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9296612.post-114420958330982934</id><published>2006-04-05T11:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-05T11:59:43.400+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Prepare for a shocking future</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"You wake up, turn on the TV and you're greeted by your personal agent, who says, "Good morning; you're flying to Boston this morning, and it's raining, so take a raincoat."&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As you approach the airport, your agent whispers into your holographic ear bud, telling you exactly where to find a parking space at the airport parking garage.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;You go to the gym.

The swagger and style which was synonymous with Arsene Wenger's Arsenal is back. Perhaps this season hasn't been the best for them, but i can't help but think about next season. They will deffinately be a force to be reckoned with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Though i am a Liverpool fan to the core, i love to watch Arsenal play.

And to think he's only 18 years old. Not too long ago he seemed quite lightweight. Coming to think of it, he still does, but he has deffinately toughened up a lot. He rides tackles much better, and makes his fair share. Arsenal must be drooling at the prospect of a matured 25 year old Cesc. Could he eventually be better than our own all round midfield dynamo captain marvel 'im-running-out-of -words-to-describe-him' Steven Gerrard?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/1600/henry_br_d1_35193a.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5897/671/320/henry_br_d1_35193a.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I can't wait for next season.
