"Eventually love will overshadows all differences."

This was created two days ago in response to the movie Love Matters that I watched previously. I was lazy to type a long post so I decided to continue today as an update from the last post. Nothing special, just a stupid, (slightly) perverted and lame idea that came to my mind all of a sudden haha. Please take note that this is not how I really perceive both guys and girls to be yah. It's all done just for fun ;)

Here's a bit of ranting. Foods and drinks sold at the snack counter at Cineplex are unreasonably expensive. So I went to Giant to find and buy some snacks that I could eat later while watching the movie. In the end I bought a pack of Choki Choki and potato salads (buy 1 free 1 after 8pm) for a cheap offer price at RM2.50. But let me tell you now to avoid the potato salads at all cost. It tasted awfully like hell. Not only that, it smelled so bad. Luckily I'm a human. Animals and insects alike will die instantly from any form of contacts with the potato salads (super lame exaggeration). Better not abandon the taste of food for cheap price when you get no satisfaction.

Anyway, after watching the movie, we (four of us Raymond, Wang Gek, Esther including me) decided to go to Raymond's place to hang around for awhile since we don't know where else to go next. Raymond told me that he got Johnnie Walker Swing at home so I decided to try and drink some of it due to my curiosity in order to find out the difference compared to other labels under its name. Well for me it tasted the same (actually all the whiskies tasted almost the same) but the liquor ran smoother down my throat and I felt a burning sensation inside me. Beside the curiosity, I wanted to try and get a bit tipsy and light-headed since I have been having a hard time to fall asleep these days.

There was one moment where my stomach growled so loud (translated simply as: Feed me~!) that Esther could even hear it. When Esther finally finished gathering information for her assignments and sending some emails, she asked if we wanna go eat something. However it was already like 2:15am and just a few minutes after asking that question, she fell asleep on the sofa d-_-b. Since everyone is more tired than hungry, we decided to go home.

At home, I felt like I was more hungry and tired (lol) so I went to kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. I ended up cooking instant noodles (2 packs!!! Screw me for screwing my diet plan!!!). While waiting for the water to boil, I turned on the TV to see if there's anything on. Most of the channels couldn't receive signals due to the rain. The only interesting channel that I can find was Fashion TV which at that time was broadcasting a show called f-LINGERIE (the show starts at 2am every night gentlemen). My sleepy and narrow eyes had turned to become wide and sparkling when watching photoshoots and catwalks of those models clad in sexy lingerie wears. Suddenly I felt more energetic! I wonder why lolololol.

In the end, the alcohol effect in my body eased down. After finishing my late night supper, I felt very full (damn regret...just like always haha). I had trouble sleeping again that night. Slept at 4:30am.

THE END

A Night when Love Matters

Last night my friends and I went to Cineplex to watch a newly released Singapore movie which was titled as Love Matters.

I love Singaporean movies. One of the reasons is because they always implement elements of currently popular and other long existing social issues into their movies. Some if not most of the things are taboo or sensitive especially for conservative countries like Malaysia and Singapore where the media has to know its limit if not the government will destroy you. Other than that, by watching those movies, you can relate so much with our life.

This time the movie Love Matters is something to do with issues like leaked controversial sex videos being uploaded online, sex being one of the main problems in marriages, men’s number one sex concern (erectile dysfunction)….why so many ‘sex’ words being used here. Oops I should ask myself lol. Okay lah~ basically this movie involves a lot of sex….I mean sex issues mind you.

Despite the comedy, sarcasm and all that, you can learn some important life lessons by watching this movie. I laughed more than 20 times so I recommend that you watch this movie at your nearby cinema except Cineplex Miri or buy the pirated dvd or download it online all you scumbags like me.

At some point during the screening at Cineplex Miri, you may experience something like this (below) and react just like me.

Some of the things that I learned from watching the movie:

1. Men can only shoot their ‘loads’ 5000 times in their lifetime (So be wise guys).
2. Women can be as sly as men.
3. Take note the size of the bra and panty of your spouse. (Do it every year as your wife’s appearance will vary as time goes by lol. No offence to the girls. We guys will also change to become old pervert geezers eventually =P)
4. You will only realize something is precious to you when you lost it.
5. Some things that are lost can never be found back.
6. Death won’t resolve anything but time will.
7. Revenge only causes more misery.
8. Giant’s potato salad SUCKS after 8pm (I was eating it while watching the movie).
9. Love your neighbor (friends, family, and strangers no matter what the skin color and gender are) so that in turn girls will love you LOL.
10. In the end, ‘Love Will Conquer All’.

James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings

I just heard and saw the MV of this song for the first time on Channel [V] not long ago. Beside being a nice song, as I listen to it I figured that it somewhat shows what am I feeling right now.

James Morrison is an award-winning English singer-songwriter and guitarist from the UK. "Broken Strings" is a critically acclaimed collaboration single with Nelly Furtado from his second album, Songs for You, Truths for Me in 2008. The single became Morrison's most successful single to date, peaking in the top ten on many European charts, in the top three in the UK and Ireland and topped the charts in Germany and Switzerland.

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything

When I love you and so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking it's the voice of someone else

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

Oh, what are we doing?
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late, too late

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late, too late

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

Bellevue Annual Dinner 2009

Every year on the 24th of February is the anniversary for Bellevue which Toy's World, Belle's Bookshop, Royal Selangor, Emmanuel and Memories in Miri are all under the company.

Back in year 2008 around January I worked as a part time sales assistant for the company. As I was the only guy other than the storekeeper, the boss and the manager, I had been given an all around tougher work. In case you are wondering why, the company prefers to hire female rather than male for reasons I don't know. So everyday I was surrounded by girls woohoo~ lol. Don't get me wrong though because most of them are older than me. Besides that, they treated me like a little brother. About why I was hired being a guy, well that's because I dressed up like a girl for the interview my cousin is actually one of the bosses.

Just for fun – This is IF I dressed up like a girl. No, I don’t have a twin sister. Did you fall in love with me? I bet some of you did LMAO.

This is how I actually looked like at work.

Anyway, the dinner was held at Eastwood Valley Golf Club. I arrived at the dinner hall the early and saw my cousin and former boss Joseph sitting alone doing something at a table. I went and greeted him. I saw that he was putting in RM10 notes into red packets. Seeing that he was in a bit of rush since the preparation was not ready for the event yet, I offered my help. Then he left me alone at the table with lots of RM10s and red packets. As I included the money into each red packet, I was trying hard to control my temptations lol. If I’m not mistaken, in total there were sixty RM10, ten RM50 and one RM100 to be given to the invited guests. Then he asked me to randomly attach the red packets to the potted plants that were placed in front of the stage. I wonder what his plan was.

Soon most of the guests had arrived and went to choose their seats. I saw familiar and new faces. People who I remember their names are Sylviana, Sylvia, Ann, Rosety, Sarimah, Ee Lian, Gee, Su Ching, Kak Ratnah, Jenny, Kenneth and Ambros. Those who did not make it for the dinner, Sylvia Regina, Linda, Felicia, Xiao Ming, Shelly and uh…who else. I feel sorry for those who I don’t remember their names. I regret that I did not have the time and chance to work together and get to know more of everyone else. I miss those times =’). Though I don’t remember your names but at least I still recognize your faces lol.

While I was working there, Ambros was the man. He’s my closest pal at work. He’s the ‘God of Gambler’ who had more misses than hits and most of the time his breath smells like alcohol hahaha. He gave me special access to the storeroom, hiding in the storeroom eating snacks together, often buy me dinners, told me interesting gossips, slacking while working, and covering my work mistakes (I broke a few stuff at work =P). He’s a dedicated bad boy at work but a loving father to his son at home because he bought him a Gameboy Advance.

Okay now back to the dinner. As the night progressed on, Joseph stood up and announced to the audience that karaoke is open for everyone. Those who sing will be able to randomly pick one red packet from the potted plants. At this point I thought, ‘So that’s his plan huh. Shit, now I gotta sing for money )=.’

So as the first two participants went up to sing Joseph gave me the camera and asked me to go around take pictures. Now I’m the Cameraman. I went and took pictures of the guests at each table and anywhere which I think is good for the album. Of all the pictures in the camera, I was not inside. Even in the group photos, I was left out…..because I was the Cameraman. Yes laugh la, I’m laughing at myself too lol.

Here comes the highlight of the night, as I stopped by one of the tables to take pictures, one of my former seniors, Sarimah said (loudly and teasingly) that the girl sitting beside her wanted to get to know me. Woah~ she’s cute indeed and I’ve been targeting her for the whole night and shy that she was blushing and trying to hide her face behind her friend. Sarimah said her name is Stephanie and she’s still single. I figured that I should tag along so I waved at Stephanie and said ‘Hi, I’m Chai and I’m single too.’ LOLOLOL. Good to see everyone laughed at the table.

After finished taking the pictures, Joseph told me to choose one song and sing. Sure but I needed someone to accompany me. So I asked Ambros to be my singing partner. We chose our song, ‘My Way’ (English oldies) and waited for our turn. At this time, nobody got the RM100 yet and there were a few RM50 left for grabs.

I gotta get my hands on the big money but I noticed that the red packets were getting lesser and lesser. Not only that, initially two people using two microphones turned to become six people (!) sharing two microphones. Some of them even sang more than once. Their lovely faces had now become money faces (Just kidding haha). Only now then I realized that for every time you sing, you can get one red packet. So as many time you sing, you can get as many you want. CITANKAO! I should have known DX

As I waited and waited, my turn to sing wasn’t here yet. I can’t help but wonder what’s wrong because those who requested their songs later than me were being played over and over again. Damn right, they were cutting lines GARGH~! Ambros didn’t feel bothered by it at all. He was just sitting there drinking his beer and getting high…GARGH~! Again.

Here was I, ‘Left Out’ feeling face...somewhere in the gloomy corner. (Picture from another event)

When the karaoke session ended, all the red packets were gone. The deejay did not play my song. In the end, I got nothing. Sad face indeed. But most people were disappointed because nobody knows who got the RM100. Nobody knows what happened to it (Oops).

At last, we shook hands and bid farewell to each other. I’m gonna miss them. It’s been a fun night.

My farewell gift from the staff at Toy’s World. Her name is Rina <3.

One more thing, who is prettier? ROFL!

ATTEMPTED Murder and Suicide of a couple in Senadin

*Update from 23/02/09:
**Sorry for the bad quality pictures.

d-_-b Why do some people like to exaggerate a simple matter and then blow it all up like what? I heard different version of stories about the incident from different people whom received the news and from the same people when I asked again. So I'm kinda embarrassed circulating the news with the incorrect information =P

Most of what I mentioned yesterday were wrong and my prediction was inaccurate as the incident did come out today in the news. Front page lagi! Well I should have known such a serious matter couldn't be covered up. Looking at the picture in the front page already know it's impossible when you see even the reporters and photographers made it into the front page (while taking pictures of the victim being carried away on a stretcher).

Besides that, the (safe to say) former couple is alive. One is in the hospital while the other is being held in jail currently. I heard that the girl was in a critical condition when being brought to the General Hospital because of the huge amount of blood loss from the deep cut in her neck. Fortunately, she is in a stable condition now. Meanwhile the guy is in a crazy mental state from what I heard. He had lost himself from that bloody incident. He only sustained cuts to the neck, chest and arms. One has to wonder if he was under the influence of drugs because the authorities found a few packs of cannabis in the living room of the house during the aftermath.

From the news, the police authority was informed by the public who heard a commotion going on inside the house in the afternoon. Some police personnel rushed to the house and checked out what was going on. However, they couldn't get in because the house was locked from the inside. So they decided get extra help by roping in the personnel from the Fire and Rescue Department. (Well you know they could have use the gun and shoot the lock and kick the door to slam it open but that's only in the movie haha.)

Anyway, the help arrived and they broke the lock and cut the grille of the house. As the authorities rushed inside, they found the guy in the kitchen I think. The guy did not want to surrender and was holding a knife. A scuffle ensued and a policeman was slightly injured at the cheek. At last the guy was able to be subdued and handcuffed away.

You know what's interesting? I don't know that guy personally but I have seen him many times since we studied in the university. I think we played basketball together before (maybe once). He also played football with my another group of friends. From people who know or who had ever associated with him before lets say in group assignments said he's a very defensive person, someone who greatly despise betrayal and (occasional?) drug user. The last time I saw him was during my friend's funeral not long ago (Check it! do_Ob).

This is another side of story as told by my friend which is more believable. Trust me. In the beginning the guy called his mom and said that he doesn't want to live anymore. Upon hearing that, the mom rushed down from Bintulu and informed a relative who stays in Miri to go to the house to check her son. The relative then saw what happened from one of the the house's windows and quickly called the police. The police even brought a psychiatrist from the General Hospital to negotiate with the guy in hope of pursuing him to give up. When it failed, you know what happens next as mentioned above already. The mom cried so bad seeing her son in handcuffs. Imagine how distraught she was.

Murder and Suicide of a couple in Senadin

Ladies and gentlemen, this just came in...

A couple who were students of my local university were found dead with news circulating around that it was a suicidal case. The girlfriend of the guy was killed by himself then at last ended his own life. It all happened at around 11 AM. I don't have any further details other than these. I don't know how they died, what was the reason leading to the (possibly) argument and killing, and I don't know if I've seen them before or not at campus.

All I heard was from my friend who happened to be at my place this afternoon after receiving a call about this. Upon further questioning, latest we know is that the guy is confirmed dead while the girl might still be able to be saved.

I'm not sure if this will come out in the news tomorrow. This is a really big news in my opinion and it's the first time ever such an incident involved students of the university. What if the university tried to cover this up...who knows... Hmm...but I'm sure sooner or later I will be able to dig up more information regarding the incident.

It's a sad thing really.

Like what they say, 'Till Death Do Us Part.' ....?
