Why Ad Agencies Should Act More Like Tech Startups

2011-10-28T18:00:00.001+08:00

I didn't say this, Rei Inamoto did.

And it's damn well said.

Source: Fast Company
Article: Why Ad Agencies Should Act More Like Tech Startups

Agencies need to look beyond storytelling and take their cues from software developers, says the chief creative officer of AKQA.

Recently, I tweeted: @reiinamoto: "In order for agencies to stay relevant, they must embrace the Culture of Code.”

This topic came out of a conversation I was having with a friend at another agency (a traditional one, that is). The tweet got more passionate responses than any other thoughts I’ve tweeted of late.

One said that I should replace “code” with “technical know-how.” Another one rather defensively tweeted back “code without ideas is just ones and zeros.” To which, someone else responded “Ideas without executions are just dreams.”

We live in a time when the future is more unpredictable than ever. Every year, there is that Next Big Thing. And for the past 10 or more years, we’ve been seeing almost one each year.

It started with Yahoo’s and Netscape’s more than a decade ago. Then Google. Then YouTube. Just when Friendster was losing steam, Facebook came along. Twitter struck with 140 characters a couple of years later. Groupon took 2010 by storm. Instagram reached over 5 millions users in less than 8 months and they only have four employees making that happen.

Not only are these technological advances making a massive and fundamental impact on how we as human beings live, but also how those of us in this small industry of advertising work.

To the point where the world’s biggest advertising festival dropped the word "advertising" from its name this year.

This week, thousands of "advertising" professionals converge on the French Riviera to recognize and celebrate the world’s best work and ideas. As the new name now directly claims, it is celebrating the Culture of Creativity. There will be hundreds of awards given throughout the week. However, what I’m really looking for this week isn’t what wins. I’m looking for the ideas that rewrite the formula.

The work that validates a festival without the word "advertising" in its name.

Coincidentally, the work that is likely to win big is called "Write the Future." It’s an amazing piece of work that made everyone jealous. But it followed a very familiar formula. It ironically validated the old way of advertising: come up with the Big Idea, create a great commercial, and a bunch of executions around it. And I say this with the greatest level of respect because the work made me jealous and it’s absolutely brilliant.

At Cannes as well as other award shows, judges debate about "ideas." What’s the Big Idea? What’s the story (i.e. "Write the Future")? How does it come to life? Are the executions great? Etc, etc.

Ideas in the context of advertising have been about a communication platform to tell stories about a brand. Stories are a useful way of evoking emotions. When consumers have an emotional reaction, they buy into those stories and are more likely to, well, buy your stuff.

The problem is that everyone is telling stories nowadays. Even if you have a good story to tell about your brand, chances are that it’ll get lost.

That’s where I believe that the very definition of the "idea" needs to evolve.

Telling stories is an important aspect of what we do but that alone is not going to get you much. We have to figure out how to enable stories. Put another way: In the 20th century, copywriters had film scripts hidden in their drawers. In this century, creatives should have product ideas ready to go.

Which brings me back to my tweet. Creativity no longer belongs to those who have the word "creative" in their title. In fact, many of the creative ideas of the past few years have been coming out of non-creative people. Well, they were always creative -- it’s just that "creatives" thought they weren’t.

A recent example of the "idea" that is both emotional and functional is Heineken Star Player: (full disclosure - it’s AKQA’s work).

It’s branded software that allows football/soccer fans to "Be In The Game." The insight was that over 70% of spectators watch the game at home. And over 65% of those watch the game with another screen in front of them. The Star Player allows viewers to guess what’s going to happen in the game real-time via a mobile app or Facebook app, thus making the experience even more emotional and social than just passively watching the game.

Whether this piece of work gets recognized at Cannes this week or not is not relevant or even important. What’s important is that it wasn’t the regular copywriter + art director duo who came up with the Idea. It was a combination of a Storyteller and a Software Developer who conceived it.

The big part of this industry is still relegating technology just as an execution, a production task, and not as a strategic point of view. If we take any cues from thee startups of the last decade, leveraging technology in a simple and creative way will get us closer to capturing the hearts and minds of consumers of the 21st century.

Thus, the next phase in the Evolution of the Idea in this century is: Idea = Emotion x Function.

Rei Inamoto is chief creative officer at AKQA.

First it was Malaysia's first augmented reality property showcase for iProperty Group, then it was Malaysia's first iPad2 ordering system for Sakae Sushi.

This time, it's Tiger Beer.

A 3D game that can be played straight off the Facebook wall without installation and the need to accept and approve unlike your typical Facebook applications.

Credits goes to my team for making it happen, and the genius idea from the creative team.

This short campaign which only lasted for 3 weeks has garnered over 30,000+ new likes to the Tiger Beer's Facebook fan page.

Tiger beer has recently launched its Halloween digital campaign using state-of-the-art 3D engine programming coupled with real-time lighting and haunting sound effects. The 'Tomb Creeper' is set to spook Facebook fans for a month-long contest. Consumers are in for some creepy fun as they 'terrorize' their friends and win the creeper's treasures. All they have to do is post an interactive 'Tomb Creeper' video game on their friends' walls and the top three fans with the most click-through stands a chance to win RM1, 000 worth of Tiger beer with their friends at participating outlets.

The rising popularity of Tiger beer has made it an extremely accessible and progressive brand in the market and is on the want list of younger drinkers ranging from 18 to 40 years old. Tiger beer recognizing this insight is leveraging on lively and popular celebrations such as Halloween, in order to connect with this target market. Tiger beer introduced the 'Tomb Creeper' digital campaign as part of the recently launched tagline 'Here's to Tiger Time'. The tagline illustrates that at every occasion worth celebrating, Tiger beer promises its drinkers a great time with their friends.

"There are so many innovative ways for brands to stand out in the digital sphere with an endless plethora of digital technology capabilities we have in store. With digital campaigns sprouting on a daily basis, brands should continuously explore bold and unique digital ideas in order to connect with the digital community and not short-change their experience", says Sam Chan, general manager of G2 Direct Interactive.

The Tiger beer 'Tomb Creeper' tech-savvy digital campaign comprises a fully playable 3D game that can be played directly off each individual's Facebook wall, without any software installation. The lighting effects are rendered in real-time to instill a realistic experience and sound effects infused to further enhance the gaming experience. G2 Direct Interactive, one of the only agencies in Malaysia to offer world-class digital capabilities, ideated and executed the campaign which runs from 29th September to 20th October 2011.

"What we have done here is another innovation. We created one of the first games which can be played off the Facebook wall in 3D, with real time rendered lighting effects, as simple as clicking the play button like how you'd watch a video on your wall, one is in the game. Before this, one has to accept and allow the application before being able to play it on Facebook", Chang Chew Soon, technical director of G2 Direct Interactive, explained.

Football fans are also continuously entertained with many activities through its Tiger FC offerings with more than 500 Tiger FC viewing parties lined up nationwide. Tiger beer and G2 Direct Interactive are also launching more exciting and innovative digital activities in the next three months.

BlackBerry Bold 9900

2011-09-27T23:09:00.001+08:00

Couple of days earlier, the company handed me a brand new unit of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 that was launched recently here in Malaysia.

Personally I am not a big fan of BlackBerry, but I had no choice to use one due to corporate policy.

Skeptical as usual, I opened up the package and fired up the device and I can't help but feeling the lack of anticipation despite the media attention it has gotten.

And as expected, couple hours fondling around with the device it crashed twice. So much for the new BlackBerry 7 OS.

Having said so, I have to say there are still good improvements made compared to the piece of junk I am using now, which is the Bold 9000.

It is a lot thinner and lighter, the pictures says it all.
The screen has a higher resolution, resulting in sharper looking display
It runs on the new 1.2 GHz Snapdragon chip, and it is fast. Very fast.
5 MP camera which shoots video in 720p HD
Last but not least, multi-touch screen. Best of both worlds with the QWERTY keyboard.
Near-field-communication (NFC) ready

But the battery is really shitty, it didn't even last me a day!

WTF even after 27 years in the business, RIM still can't even get the battery right.

First picture taken using the Bold 9900's camera

(Crocodiles out there, here is Veronica's Facebook profile so please stop asking me for her contact)

Now on to the pictures.

Content of the package

Is it just me or the charger looks very similar to the iPhone charger?

Old junk (Bold 9000) vs new junk (Bold 9900)

As you can see, the rear of the Bold 9900 is a lot more stylish now

The Bold 9900 is now a lot slimmer compared to the Bold 9000

Sakae Sushi iPad Digital Ordering System

2011-08-11T15:33:00.012+08:00

Don't be surprised if one day you stepped in one of Sakae Sushi's restaurant and realized that all the touch screen monitors are now gone.

They are now replaced with the iPad2, and the work is done by my technical team here in Grey Group KL.

The branch in The Curve was launched 2 weeks ago, and today was the opening of their brand new branch in Times Square.

Watch out for the next roll out in the Sunway Pyramid branch, and the rest of the branches throughout Malaysia within rest of the year.

This is not your average digital ordering system where you get to just flip through the images and placing the order. The system is tightly integrated to the POS, linking the cashier and the kitchen as well allowing the entire flow to be run within a closed loop.

And it also incorporates a gesture recognition system to allow the Sakae Sushi staffs/waiters to flip the iPad2 around to perform administration tasks, return to normal mode and flip it back to the customer to allow them to continue ordering.

Another milestone achieved by Grey Group KL for launching Malaysia's first iPad2 digital sushi ordering system after augmented reality.

Look out for the news article here at The Sun Daily.

Things Just Got Better

2011-07-13T20:25:00.003+08:00

Our TV arrived just today, and the iPad2 HDMI output looks fabulous.

Imagine playing Angry Birds on a 42' screen in full HD. *grin*

We're all gonna be sleepless for weeks

iProperty 3D Augmented Reality Showcase

2011-06-18T15:24:00.001+08:00

Back in May 2010, I mentioned that augmented reality is the next big thing.

Well, it is the big thing now.

GREY Group KL's first 3D augmented reality showcase, developed by my team exclusively for iProperty Malaysia,

iPad 2? Nah.

2011-04-09T22:34:00.010+08:00

Seriously, with all the hype surrounding the iPad 2 ever since it's release I really just have to get myself an unit to check it out.

Call it blessing or whatever you want, our company is currently in the process of developing an application for the iPad 2 itself and hence I have with me here not 1 but 3 units of iPad 2.

Say hello boys, and be nice.

Earphones and the smart cover is not included in case you are wondering. It came with just a charger and a USB cable and that's it. Oh yeah, there is a sticker in it as well.

The white version looks exactly just like a photo frame

Here is a comparison of an iPad 2 vs iPhone 4. It's just like a giant iPhone to me. And trust me, once you land yourself an iPad you will never want to use the iPhone ever again.

Everything looks so tiny now on the iPhone!

The thickness of an iPad 2 is similar to an iPhone 4

And just when you're all excited to check out the FaceTime feature, you'll be disappointed with the quality of the front camera.

See what I mean?

(Taken using the front camera)

And the rear camera ain't that great either. At this point of time, I really feel like shoving the iPad up Steve Job's ass.

I mean, come on man the camera barely even makes it.

Sigh

(Taken using the rear camera)

So here I am, indulging myself in Apple heaven.

And just as I was trying to use the iPad 2 to write this post but to find out that the rich editing feature is not supported.

Well, can't blame Google on that because I would do the same too if I owned Android :)

Food For Thought

2011-02-21T12:02:00.001+08:00

It has been almost 2 months ever since my return to the corporate world, things has been well with me albeit a little drama here and there.

I guess like all other CTOs/CIOs/Techical Directors out there in the world, everyone faces their own fair share of challenges when it comes to dealing with people.

I came across this article in TechRepublic and I wanted to share it. It's called Five Management Tenets for Every CIO, and I sincerely believe it not only applies to CIOs it actually applies to everyone.

Source: TechRepublic
Article: Five Management Tenets for Every CIO

1. Recognize that people want to do well, so treat them well

In general, your IT staff doesn’t come to work every morning with high hopes for achieving mediocrity or failure. People want to do a good job, want to contribute, and want to know that their efforts mean something. Make that your guiding principle in all your dealings with your staff. Frankly, this can be really, really hard sometimes, particularly as you get stressed out and are dealing with something that might seem trivial. It’s more than likely that, at some point in your management career, you’ll look back and realize that you handled a particular employee action pretty poorly. When this happens, the affected person deserves an explanation and an apology.

This actually goes both ways, too. If you’ve treated your staff well, it’s more than likely that they’ll treat you well, and if they treat you unfairly at some point, they’ll realize it and make it right. I was in this exact situation a few weeks ago. One of my guys had a particularly bad day, and at the end of the day, a tense situation arose and he took it out on me. Now, the guy is awesome at his job and we generally have a great working relationship, but it obviously still bugged me. However, the next morning, he called me up, we had breakfast, and he apologized.

Of course, this just provides further proof that I have the best IT staff on the planet.

2. Understand that people (usually) fire themselves… do it fast

For clarification, I’m not talking about layoffs here. This topic is focused solely on the act of firing someone.

Even if you’ve made the best possible effort to recognize that people want to do well and you’ve infused this idea into all the conversations you have with your people, not everyone will be able to stay on board with the organization. It’s up to you (and, of course, your team) to create an environment in which they want to operate. Unfortunately, when it comes to voting people off the island, that duty usually falls to you.

I’ve written before that it’s important that people not be surprised that they’re being erased from the org chart — at least when it’s for performance or attitude reasons. Obviously, no matter how egregious the performance or attitude problems and no matter how many warnings have been provided, at that moment when you break the news, there will be surprise. However, after the shock subsides and the person is able to look back through the lens of time, I believe that, in hindsight, that surprise factor will lessen.

On this point, too, always use the probationary period as it was intended. Most organizations have a probationary period during which either the employer or the employee can opt out of the arrangement with or without cause. In many cases, this is done for fit reasons (in either direction) or if the employer discovers that the person is missing a key skill, although this should be caught during the interview. It’s much easier to take this step during the probationary period than it is later on. I will admit that I have fired someone during the probationary period due to fit, and I will admit, it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. Keeping someone around that can’t fit or can’t carry his or her weight is a drag on the whole group.

3. Give feedback, ask for feedback, and mean it

I’ll go on the record as saying that I truly despise the annual performance review process. I find it close to useless for everyone except HR. People should know where they stand throughout the year, not at just a single point in time. If something is going really well during the year, make sure the person knows it — better yet make sure the whole team knows it. When I get a note from someone on campus praising one of my staff, I usually forward it on to the whole IT staff. If something needs improvement, improve it. Don’t wait for performance review time. It’s not fair to the organization, and it’s not fair to the employee. The longer you let something go, the more opportunity there is for resentment to build among the staff about the situation, so address it sooner.

Also, make sure to be able to accept feedback from the staff from time to time, too. This is incredibly difficult sometimes, but it leads to a much better and much happier staff. If you tell your staff that you’re willing to listen to feedback, actually, you know, listen to it. Like I said, it’s tough, but I’m far from perfect and even make mistakes every now and then. I’m very fortunate that I have a staff that is more than willing to tell me when they think I’ve blown it, and, in most cases, they do so in a reasonable, respectful way.

Obviously, there are times that I disagree with their assessment, but we have a positive enough working relationship that, in most cases, they’re willing to accept it. Just as often, if not more often, they “win,” although that’s really too strong a word.

4. Say “please’ and “thank you”… the golden rule applies

My kids have gotten pretty good at the whole manners thing, but it astounds me at how often people forget to take these basic steps in the workplace. My staff works their butts off to do the work that has been assigned to them. As is the case with most IT staffs, we get more and more work to do and the staff count isn’t exactly skyrocketing. When I ask them to do something, it’s generally accompanied by a “please” and, upon completion, a “thank you.”

5. Don’t be a pushover… be fair, but firm

You might think that the advice in this article makes it look like I’m recommending that you be a pushover. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, when it comes to working with my staff, I simply believe that the people who work so hard to make me (seriously, I’d fail without the people I have working with me) and the organization successful deserve to be treated well, listened to, and respected. That said, I do expect results. After all, this is a job. On that front, over the past few months, my staff and I have overhauled our project prioritization mechanisms in order to ensure that we have sustainable workloads that still meet the needs of the organization. I work with each staff person to assess project plans and determine time frames, and then we commit to those time frames and I expect completion.

That said, life always throws curveballs, so we maintain open lines of communication and, when necessary, adjust project time lines. Recently, we had a project due at the end of the month, but due to “scope creep” that was outside our control on another initiative, the project had to be delayed. Due to the critical nature of the “creeping” initiative, it was an easy decision to postpone the deliverable on the original project, but that decision was made in concert with the staff people on the projects to make sure that everyone understood why we were where we were and what we were going to do to ensure success on both projects. In this way, we dealt fairly with the situation (i.e. didn’t punish my person because some other department had a problem) while instituting a new deadline, which, by the way, was met.

Interview with CARS.MY

2011-01-30T00:31:00.003+08:00

CARS.MY, a local automotive magazine published by MPH Group recently did an interview with me on GT Auto.

New Year, New Beginning

2011-01-01T16:50:00.019+08:00

2010 was a tough but meaningful year for all of us, especially for me and the boys in Chilliwire Technologies. We've decided to let it go to someone else and move on with our lives. It was an honor to be able to work with such a great team in the past years.

I am very happy for everyone of them because they're all now head of departments for various companies and some of them are even their own bosses now. Now that everyone was well taken care of, its also time I start planning for my own future as well.

Ever since I left the corporate world back in June 2010, I've always thought of taking a long break and do something that I always wanted to - performance car tuning.

Most people would probably know that I am a car freak, and a weird one too. Rather than spending the money buying a proper sports car, I've actually decided to take a family friendly sedan Toyota Vios and transform it to a 400 horsepower monster.

Me posing in GT Auto's new showroom

And hence I bought into GT Auto, the #1 performance tuning house in Malaysia who is also the builder of the fastest Mitsubishi Evolution 3 in South East Asia and also the record holder of the fastest drag time in the Sepang International Circuit since 2008.

And for the past 6 months I've never been happier in my life despite I had to part away with a very large sum of money I have in my bank account. Every morning I wake up feeling energetic and eager to go to work so that I could listen to the tones of various car engines and exhausts belonging to our customers.

My 2 partners, Toby and Thomas whose been running the company for the past 8 years are one of the most interesting and amazing people that I've worked with. They've taught me a lot of things about cars and performance tuning, something which I think I would never learn had they not given me the chance.

And so we all though thats it and I'm now set to do this for life.

Well, life is always full of surprises.

Then along came Racheal (yup, thats her in the picture with 2 funny looking thing on top of her head), an old friend whom I knew back 10 years ago whose also a very experienced recruitment consultant. She gave me a call out of the blue just weeks before Christmas and introduced me to Grey Group Malaysia.

She convinced me to meet up with them, and after a couple of hours later I left Grey's office with an offer letter in my hand with only 2 days to respond.

This is the second time where I actually get to join an interview and walk away with an offer letter on the same day itself. My first time was in Sydney back in 2007.

I was half hearted because part of me wanted to explore the world of digital advertising and part of me wanted to stay in the car tuning business. I wasn't ready to leave GT Auto without thinking it through properly.

After all we've spend a lot time, money, blood and sweat in setting up the new place.

I shared this openly with Toby and Thomas and to my amazement, they encouraged me to pursue what my heart tells me and regardless of where I go I will always be a part of GT Auto.

After all, the new place has already been setup properly and they can manage it even without me around.

Me posing in front of Grey's office

So with all my concerns addressed I've decided to accept the offer to join G2 Direct Interactive, the digital arm of Grey Group as their Technical Director starting January 2011.

Its a good start for 2011, a brand new year, a brand new beginning.

Happy New Year folks! :)

Showing Some Support

2010-12-01T00:01:00.006+08:00

Carmen, a very good friend of mine whose currently a pretty mummy now is running her own little business and I just want to show her some support.

I knew Carmen back in the days when I was assigned as the a trainer to Tan Chong Motors where she worked. She was a very bright software engineer back then and she had my attention.

Congratulations Carmen! :)

We are here to tune 2 units of Ferrari and a couple more exotic cars.

Can't help but noticing they actually put ice cubes in my toilet bowl in the hotel room, interesting.

Disturbed

2010-10-21T01:59:00.006+08:00

A lot of pictures and reports of animal cruelty has surfaced lately, and I must say I am extremely disturbed after several attempts to even try to look at those pictures for a tad longer.

There are pictures of dogs being thrown to the river, hanged, kicked, cats being stomped to death floating around the Internet and the list goes on.

I am a dog lover myself and I love all kinds of animals, and I seriously do not understand what is with people who are capable of such cruelty acts to animals.

Show me the most disturbing, horrible and gross pictures of freak accidents and I bet you I could still walk in to the nearest McDonald and wallop down a big fat McChicken.

But I must say, the picture of these animal abuses that is happening over the world really broke me down and tore me apart. I don't think I am able to see another picture without feeling hurt inside.

Though I'm not saying I'm a tough guy, but I do not shed my tears easily even at the most extreme situation. But I must admit, my tears started rolling down right after the second picture.

I barely even make it pass the third picture.

I've tried everything I could by doing my part such as donating to the SPCA, educating my friends about prevention of animal cruelty, teaching young kids to love animal, feeding stray dogs and cats but I felt what I've done is still not enough to bring any changes.

The sense of helplessness is really suffocating.

Please, could we all stop the animal abuse? Please? :(

Fail

I was at my new house the other day for some inspection work and I saw this moron's car parked with style just right outside the club house.

Your parents must have been proud of you.

Fail.

Flabbergasted v2.0

2010-09-11T04:16:00.001+08:00

I'm sure everyone does this at least once in their lifetime - Google your own name.

I tried it once back in May 2009, and I was flabbergasted. Yeah I know, it sounds a little narcissistic to actually do that. *laughs*

And to certain people, they actually think that those who did it was more of an attempt to stroke his/her own ego.

Another term for it is called egosurfing.

Well, its like 4 AM now and I can't sleep due to too much coffee during the daytime and out of boredom I did it again.

Not too shabby eh?

有一種感動，叫做守口如瓶

2010-09-05T19:21:00.000+08:00

男人失業了。他沒有告訴女人。他仍然按時出門和回家。

他不忘編造一些故事欺騙女人。

他說新來的主任挺和藹的，新來的女大學生挺清純的。女人掐他的耳朵，笑著說，「你小心點。」

那時他正往外走，女人拉住他，幫他整理襯衣的領口。男人夾了公文包，擠上公交車，三站後下來。

他在公園的長椅上坐定，愁容滿面地看廣場上成群的鴿子。到了傍晚，男人換一副笑臉回家。

他敲敲門，大聲喊：「我回來啦﹗」

男人這樣堅持了5天。5天後，他在一家很小的水泥廠找到一份短工。那裡環境惡劣，飄揚的粉塵讓他的喉嚨總是乾的。勞動強度很大，幹活的時候他累得滿身是汗。

組長說：「你別幹了，你這身子骨不行。」

男人說：「我可以。」他緊咬了牙關，兩腿輕輕地抖。

男人全身沾滿濃濃的粉塵，他像一尊活動的疲勞的泥塑。

下了班，男人在工廠匆匆洗個澡，換上筆挺的西裝，扮一身輕盈回家。

他敲敲門，大聲喊：「我回來啦﹗」女人就奔過來開門。滿屋蔥花的香味，讓男人心安。飯桌上女人問他：「工作順心嗎？」

他說︰「順心，新來的女大學生挺清純。」女人嗔怒，卻給男人夾一筷子木耳。女人說，「水開了，要洗澡嗎？」

男人說︰「洗過了，和同事洗完桑拿回來的。」

女人輕哼著歌，開始收拾碗碟。男人想︰好險，差一點被識破。疲憊的男人匆匆洗臉刷牙，然後倒頭就睡。

男人在那個水泥廠干了二十多天。快到月底了。他不知道那可憐的一點工資能不能騙過女人。

那天晚飯後，女人突然說︰你別在那個公司上班了吧，我知道有個公司在徵人，幫你打聽了，所有要求你都符合，明天去試試？」男人一陣狂喜，卻說：「為什麼要換呢？」

女人說：「換個環境不很好嗎？再說這家待遇很不錯呢。」

於是第二天，男人去應徵，結果被順利錄取。

那天，男人燒了很多菜，也喝了很多酒。

他知道，這一切其實瞞不過女人的。

或許從去水泥廠上班那天，或許從他丟掉工作那天，女人就知道了真相。

是他躲閃的眼神出賣了他嗎？是他疲憊的身體出賣了他嗎？

是女人從視窗看到他坐上了相反方向的公共汽車嗎？

還是他故作輕鬆的神態太過拙劣和誇張？

他可以編造故事騙他的女人，但卻無法讓心細的女人相信。

其實，當一個人深愛著對方時，有什麼事能瞞過去呢？男人回想這二十多天來，每天，飯桌上都有一盤木耳炒蛋。男人知道木耳可以清肺。粉塵飛揚中的男人需要一盤木耳炒蛋。有時女人會逼他吃掉兩勺梨膏。

男人想，那也是女人精心的策劃。

還有，這些日子女人不再纏著他陪她看電視連續劇，因為他是那樣疲憊。現下男人完全相信女人早就知曉了他的祕密，她默默地為他做著事，卻從來不揭開它。

事業如日中天的男突然失業，變得一文不名，這是一個祕密。是男人的，也是她的。她必須咬著痛，守口如瓶。她不能讓任何人知道，包括製造祕密的男人。

男人站在陽台看城市的夜景，終有一滴眼淚落下。

婚姻生活中，有一種感動叫相親相愛，有一種感動叫相濡以沫。

其實還有一種感動，叫做守口如瓶。

Shame On You, Animal Abusers

2010-07-13T01:10:00.001+08:00

I'm not a saint, never one and never will be one.

But as a human being, I understood the simplest principle of life where all the living beings in this world has the right to live.

But sadly, every corner that I turned into I see and hear about animal cruelties. I for one, have absolutely zero tolerance against such cowardly acts.

Well, action speaks louder than words. As of today I am a proud monthly contributor to SPCA Selangor and the contribution shall remain in effect until the day I close my eyes.

I know it is nothing compared to what others have done, but I am happy to play a part even in a small way.

Animals are now more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship.

Please, I beg you. Stop the animal cruelties.

Well, TMNET you know what? I got 2 words for ya.

So whose your daddy now? Bitch.

Dark Day In Malaysia

2010-06-05T01:54:00.014+08:00

It was a dark day here in Malaysia as tragedies were reported all over the news one after another.

My heart utterly sank as I read about the news of poor Florina Joseph who died because of the selfish acts of certain individuals who wasn't willing to lend out a fire extinguisher.

Come on assholes, what the fuck were you thinking? Florina is only 27 years old, and now her friends and family has to deal with the loss of her because of your selfishness and inability to think rationally.

I'm not sure about you two but I will never be able to sleep peacefully at night ever again if I were in your shoes.

Then it was the news of the serial rapist taxi driver who single-handedly destroyed the lives of six secondary school students by turning them into his sex slaves.

And the last piece of news I came across totally broke my heart. This poor lady was raped in front of her husband and children by robbers.

Don't you think we already had enough of these cases to warrant a change in the legislation for a more serious penalty for rape?

To be really frank, rapist should either be locked away for life or just given the death sentence. I honestly don't think the caning sentence is doing them any good at all.

Just as I was about to finish up my post, another piece of saddening news just came in. A 19 year old died because the robbers used her as a human shield in a heist.

What is happening to our country? It isn't safe anymore is it?

2 days ago, our Prime Minister Najib was spotted on a walkabout in a famous township, and was greeted by a color cardboard saying "Thank you Prime Minister for making us safer".

Well Mr. Prime Minister, I guess the above news looks like 2 tight slaps to your face reminding you that our streets ain't that safe after all huh?

Stop believing in the people who is buttering up your oil ass and open up your eyes.

Our streets are not fucking safe at all.

Would it help if I were to keep a mini fire extinguisher in my car in the future? Do I need to hire a 24 hour personal bodyguard to protect my family? Or maybe I need to start considering applying for a firearm license?

I feel sad because besides ranting here in my post, I do not know what else I could do to help improve the current situation in our country.

Is there anyone that we can blame this on? The government? The police force? The rakyat perhaps?

My fellow Malaysians, it is time we put aside all our differences in religion and race and start uniting together to protect our loved ones.

People Are Never Contented

Something must be wrong with me, but just like what the title says people will never be contented.

So am I, especially after watching this video.

Damn I'm such a poser.

分手的艺术

2010-05-27T01:29:00.002+08:00

最近有几个朋友都变单身了，和他们分享了很多关于分手的心得。

其实在分手的过程当中，你可以学到很多，并且可以从中看到自己很多的弱点。

有时候，是我们自己的脾气不太好。
有时候，是我们自己单方面的付出而没有顾及到对方的真正需要。
有时候，是彼此的人生目标随着岁月的成长而慢慢变得有差距了。
有时候，是因为彼此在一起久了而慢慢忘掉沟通的重要性。

其实说到底，当一对情侣要分手的时候什么东西都可以拿来当理由。

不过，我们认为如果一个人能在分手的时候做到以下三点的话，那会显得出他成熟的一面。

一、不要恶言相向
事情没有绝对，今天你看分手时他伤害了你。但五年，十年以后回头来看也许当初分手的你有了完全不同的诠释。就算是真的他对你不起也没关系，现在的你还不是好好的吗？

二、不要自我贬抑
分手并不是表示自己没有价值，不值得被爱。而是表示你还有人生的功课还没做完，还有事情等待你去学习。

三、对自己负责任
在恋爱之前，你也不是一个人过的好好的吗？所以分手并不是你让自己过得不好的理由，因为你的人生过得好与坏，除了你自己，没有人该为此负责。要被悲伤击倒、要整天难过，都是自己的选择。

刚变回单身的几个朋友，你们加油吧！

Citibank - Where's My Money?

2010-04-30T22:32:00.001+08:00

Ever since Citibank's previous attempt to cheat on me, I've been keeping an eye on my account closely.

After they have reversed the membership fee, it has became that they are actually owing me money in return.

You see, the moment you're late even for 1 day they'll start calling you like crazy. Now that they are owing me money, perhaps I should start imposing some interest on Citibank then?

Yeah I know RM 37 is like peanuts but hey its a matter of principle aye? :)

Milestones in Life

Yep, I just collected the keys to the new house I bought in Setia Eco Park today. This is a big decision and moment for me as it is one of my personal milestones in life.

I was lucky to have Toby and David to accompany me as they were able to spot the defects around the house so we can highlight them to the developer.

Besides that, what else can be better than to collect your property in a souped up Lancer Evolution 3 which pumps out 500+ horse to the wheels?

10 Reasons Why iPhone 3G Is Better Than Women

2010-04-05T14:00:00.003+08:00

A friend forwarded me this article today and I wanted to share it here with everyone, just don't take it too seriously! *laughs*

1. In the States, an iPhone only costs USD 199 with a plan and you get an upgraded model every year.

2. If you don’t get access to the software on the iPhone you can reboot it in two minutes and you are guaranteed to get right in there.

3. If you get bored with the software on the iPhone, you can just pop over to App Store and get a new piece for as little as USD 99 cents and you don’t even have to leave the house.

4. If your iPhone is getting a little old and losing its looks, you can slip a designer jacket on it and immediately it'll look great.

5. If your iPhone is getting a little old and slowing down, you can plug it into iTunes, reflash and reset and its instantly rejuvenated.

6. You can “mute” your iPhone.

7. You can control your iPhone with simple finger movements.

8. You iPhone won’t spend your money without checking with you first.

9. Your iPhone won’t roam without your permission.

10. Your iPhone comes in a pretty box, when was the last time she did that?

Citibank - Liar Liar Pants On Fire

2010-03-11T10:58:00.011+08:00

I am currently a Citibank credit card holder and I never had any major issues with them until today.

I'm the kind of guy who clears my credit card payment promptly every single month and I always monitor my usage closely because banks can't be trusted nowadays.

Ever since our good ol' prime minister made one of the dumbest decision in his career to impose a RM50 service tax on credit cards, banks everywhere are eagerly charging the service tax like it is their rightful duty.

So this appeared in my credit card statement.

So like my other good fellow citizens I paid the RM50 service charge dutifully, not a problem at all.

A month later, this appeared.

Without fret I calmly dialed the call centre number and after all the verifications the following conversation took place:

Bank: Good morning Mr. Chang, what can I do for you?

Me: Yes, can you advise me what is the annual membership fee that appeared in my statement all about?

Bank: (*trying to be a smart ass*) That is the annual membership fee sir.

Me: Yeah I know whats written there, what I'm asking here is what is it doing there?

Bank: Sir thats the annual fee we would charge as it was stated clearly when you signed up for the credit card.

Me: You obviously have no idea what the term "Free For Life" means do you?

Bank: (...*long pause*...) I will proceed to waive the RM600 and you'll be able to see the deduction in your next month's statement sir.

Me: Thats not the point, had I not check the items line by line I would have missed this out and made the payment. Isn't the bank suppose to take care of this?

Bank: (...*trying to pull the 'system problem' stunt with me ...*) I'm sorry sir, maybe its a system problem.

Me: Seriously is that the best excuse you can come up with?

At this point I've decided not to continue the conversation as it was a waste of time, perhaps I'll just follow Ng Yee Tat's footsteps like what he did here.

I did felt bad later for jumping at the customer service officer, but seriously we have enough idiots running around in the government already and we really don't need more.

A Picture Says A Thousand Words

2010-03-08T16:37:00.004+08:00

From time to time I have people asking me how did I got involved with computers in the first place.

Well a picture says a thousand words, here is a picture of me taken when I was 5 years old with my first computer - Cubic 99.

It was made by Creative Technologies back in 1984, has a dual processor motherboard with a vocal synthesizer and is fully compatible with the Apple II computer.

I then learned my very first programming language - BASIC.

Me and my Cubic 99 taken back in 1985

Two Men Face Court for Goat Sex While Owner Demands Wedding

2010-03-02T18:49:00.003+08:00

I guess it doesn't get any sadder than this, but I won't have been bothered had it come from Russia or one of those countries where the oxygen levels are so low until you'll freeze your ass off but WTF Mozambique?!

Source: myFOXBoston.com

Mehehehehehe

(AFP from NewsCore) - Two young men accused of having sex with a goat in central Mozambique were facing criminal charges, and the goat's owner was demanding they make traditional wedding arrangements, state media said Friday.

The young men, whose names and ages were not released, were caught in the act by police and arrested outside the rural town of Mbucuta in central Mozambique, the website of the state broadcaster said.

"One of the young men was naked and holding the goat's head, and the other was having sex with the animal," witness Mario Creva told Radio Mozambique.

District prosecutor Leonides Mapasse said the two would face trial for simple larceny.

The goat's owner may also file a civil suit against them, he said.

The owner was demanding the young men pay him damages and initiate a traditional wedding ceremony by paying "lobolo," a dowry, a family member told Radio Mozambique.

iPhone 3GS

2010-02-06T02:46:00.004+08:00

(Update 11/02): iPhone sold at RM 2,000, thank you!

Dad handed this iPhone to me when I got home earlier, it is a brand new 16GB 3GS model. According to him, HSBC Bank gave it to him for free but he doesn't want to use it.

Geez, I'm wondering how much he has in the bank account in order for HSBC to give him an iPhone?

Well, nevertheless I don't think I want to use this phone as I still prefer my good old Nokia E90 which is a true businessman phone in my humble opinion.

Buyers anyone? I'll give you a good deal :)

They just keep on coming

If you think that by driving a turbo car actually increases your chances of being issued a summon for traffic violations, you're probably half right.

The problem is for both the summonses that I received, I wasn't even driving my own car.

Fact is, I'm not even sure whose car was I driving at that time!

WTF????

So a quick check on both the vehicle license plate number reveals both cars were indeed driven by me at the date of offence.

Sigh, I'm now RM 374.00 poorer, T_T.

This is the selling price of Proton cars in Saudi Arabia, if you take a closer look you'll see that the price of a Proton Waja is going for around RM 35,500 based on the following exchange rate:

1 Saudi Riyal = RM 0.94

My fellow Malaysians, what happened to the motto of "Pencaipaian Didahulukan, Rakyat Diutamakan"?

Why was the Arabs "diutamakan"? Anyone cares to ask Najib?

Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

2010-01-11T02:34:00.014+08:00

I was busy playing around with Windows 7 lately throughout the weekend, and I just got the copy activated online.

The installation was a breeze, all the hardware were recognized perfectly supported with the appropriate drivers. I didn't even need to lift a finger during the entire installation process.

Due to our company's partnership with Microsoft, we were given a copy of the Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit and 64-bit to fiddle with.

I choose to install the 64-bit edition as I have 4GB of RAM in my machine, and I am loving every second of it. Although 16-bit applications will not run, but with DOSBox all my legacy DOS applications executes without any problems.

Activation window

With 64-bit, the 4GB of RAM can now be fully utilized

Even both my Razer products were recognized natively

In Memory of Grandma

2009-12-29T12:23:00.001+08:00

We visited Grandpa during the Christmas holidays, and he still misses Grandma very much. It has only been 9 months since her departure but she will live forever in our memories.

I have no idea what this is, but apparently Grandpa planted it and they grew so beautifully which now they serve as a shelter for all the little great grandchildren playing under the hot sun.

When we're told that our loved ones has cancer, and dying of it is one of the hardest thing we could ever here. It was so hard to watch you suffer knowing there is nothing we could do. You stayed strong until the end, and you made us promised to watch after Grandpa. There are so many things that brings back memories of you.

Sometimes it is very hard to get through the day, but we know that you're resting and not suffering anymore. One day we shall meet again and until then, you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. We will tell all the great grandchildren stories about you.

Love,

your beloved grandchildren

great grandchildren.

做男人也很难

2009-12-10T15:41:00.002+08:00

女人都爱说一句：“做女人真苦啊！”

我想说，其实做男人更苦。

其实男人这辈子挺难的，怎么说呢？

长太帅，太抢手，
不帅吧，又拿不出手。

活泼点吧，说你太油，
不出声吧，又说你太闷。

穿西装吧，说你太严肃，
穿随便点吧，又说你乡巴佬。

会挣钱吧，怕你包二奶，
不挣钱吧，又怕孩子断奶。

结婚吧，把自己后悔，
不结婚吧，又怕她后悔。

要个孩子吧，怕出来没钱养，
不要孩子吧，有怕老了没人养。

找个漂亮的女人吧，太操心，
找个不漂亮的吧，又不甘心。

光顾着事业了，人家说你没责任感，
光顾着家了，人家又说你没本事。

专一点吧，人家说你不成熟，
花心点吧，人家又说你禽兽。

有钱，人家说你是坏人，
没钱，人家又说你是个窝囊废。

自己奋斗吧，等有钱了女友也老了，
让女人养吧，倒不如自宫练葵花宝典算了。

不去应酬，怕被老板废了，
去应酬吧，又怕被老婆废了。

女人可以等嫁，我们等啥啊？

唉，这年头做女人难，做男人更难。

你可知道

2009-12-07T19:37:00.001+08:00

你可知道，
要一个女人清晨起来，
面对一个她爱的男人，
是需要很大的勇气的。

你可知道，
当女人被男人脱去自己的衣服时，
一丝不挂的站在他面前，
是需要多少的爱。

你可知道，
女人为什么会背着你睡，
因为她不喜欢看你的背影，
如果你以后抱着她睡，
她一晚都会睡的很安心。

你可知道，
女人都把每一次的恋情当作是初恋，
也是这辈子最后的爱。

你可知道，
女人那么爱吃醋不是因为不相信你，
而是你在她心中太美好，
她不希望这种美好倒映在别的女人眼中。

你可知道，
深爱你的女人在冲着你来发火以后，
自己却转身不段啜泣。

你可知道，
当女人顶着哭花了的脸走在街上，
她已经不管有没有人看见她了，
因为她的心已经快要死了。

你可知道，
她只会对她爱的男人唠叨，
也只会对她在乎的男人耍性子。

你可知道，
她的人性，她的坏脾气，
其实都是在都对你撒娇，
希望你更重视她。

你可知道，
假若她不爱你，
她根本不会对你发火，
不会希望你去哄她，
更不会对你掉眼泪，
因为她不爱的人没那本事。

你可知道，
当你离开她，
留下她独自一个人，
她有多大的期待与恐惧。

每个女孩身边都有一个不是男朋友的男朋友

2009-12-04T16:13:00.006+08:00

每个女孩身边都有一个不是男朋友的男朋友。

你们可能相爱过，你们也可能喜欢彼此。但是，为了什么原因你们没能在一起呢？

也许，他为了朋友之间的义气，不能追你。
也许，他为了顾及家人的意见，你们没有在一起。
也许，他为了出国深造，他没有要你等他。
也许，你们相遇太早，还不懂得珍惜对方。
也许，你们相遇太晚，你们身边已经有了另一个人。
也许，你回头太迟，对方已不再等待。
也许，你们彼此还在捉摸对方的心，而迟迟无法跨出界线。

不过即使你们没有在一起，你们还是保持了朋友的关系。但是你们心底很清楚，对于这一个人，你们比普通朋友还多了一份关心。即使不能跟他名正言顺的牵手逛街，你们还是可以做无所不谈的朋友。

他有喜欢的人，你口头上会帮他追，心里却又不是很清楚你是不是真的希望他追到。他遇到困难的时候，你会尽你所能的帮他，不会计较谁又欠了谁。男朋友吃醋了，你会安抚男朋友说你和他只是朋友，但你心中会有那么一丝的不确定。

其实每个人这辈子，心中都有过这么一个特别的朋友。一开始你不甘心只是做朋友的，但久了突然发现这样最好。你宁愿这样关心他，总好过你们在一起后而有一天会分手。你宁愿做他的朋友，彼此不会吃醋，才可以真正的无所不谈，他才会把一切的东西都跟你分享。

很多人往往都因为一厢情愿，最后都连朋友都当不成了。因为对方的一句喜欢你，如果你没有反应，这一段友情几乎也难以维持下去了。也难怪有些人会因此不肯踏出一步。因为这就像一场赌注，表白了之后要不是成了男女朋友，那就连朋友都当不成了。

各位读者，在这样的情况下，是不是保持暧昧的关系才是最好的呢？

给男性朋友的一份忠告

2009-11-24T16:10:00.003+08:00

朋友转寄了一封邮件，想跟大家分享一下。

1. 朋友请你吃饭，不要觉得理所当然。要礼尚往来，否则你的名声会越来越臭。

2. 给自己定个目标，一年、两年、还是五年。也许你出生不比别人好，但通过努力你是可以改变你的命运的。破罐子破摔只能和懦弱做朋友，切记。

3. 在这现实的社会里，感情不能当饭吃。俗语说的好，贫穷夫妻百事哀。不要太相信电影里的情节，那只是供许许多陌生人喧嚣情感的场所而已。

4. 不要相信星座命理，那是哄小朋友的。命运在自己手中，难道你认为这样默默的等下去就会有等出什么汽车还是洋房吗？

5. 不喜欢的人就少与他们接触，但别再背后说他们的坏话。因为说是非之人，必定也是是非之人。

6. 知道自己要干些什么，夜深人静的时候，问问下自己，将来有什么打算，并且朝着这个方向去实现。

7. 偶尔翻翻下时尚杂志，提高一下自己的品位。多看看书，充实自己。对你以后有莫大的帮助。

8. 空闲时间不要全拿去泡bar或disco，读点文学作品、学习一些经营流程、管理范围、国际时事、法律常识等等。这都能保证你在任何聚会都可以与别人谈资的能力。

9. 大家都还年轻，没什么钱。所以不用太在意谁开跑车，谁住洋房等等。而女友对于Prada或LV的热恋也不必放在心上。毕竟，女人天生和美挂上了勾。她们只是宁愿相信你能够为她们买一样昂贵的礼物，以满足她们的虚荣心，然后在同辈们面前炫耀一番。实则她们也是热爱生活的，而当你有能力完成时，也会觉得就算花了很多时间与金钱把自己包装到漂漂亮亮是值得与欣慰的。

10. 要做一件事，在成功之前没有必要告诉其它人。

11. 不要以为你是个男人，就不需要保养。至少饮食方面不能太随便，把自己的身体照顾好。如果你认为这个不重要，我可以告诉你至少你可以把看病省下来的钱给你的女人多买几个Prada。

12. 力求上进的人，不要总想着要靠些某某人还是谁。人都是自私的，自己才是最靠得住的人。

13. 面对失败，不要太计较。天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨。但要学会自责，找到原因并且改掉坏习惯。二十岁没钱，很正常。三十岁没钱，那是宿命。

所谓强者生存，弱者淘汰。做男人，就要做个有出息的男人。如果连自己都瞧不起自己，那别人又怎会瞧得起你呢？

Those who knows me well would know that I totally rock Razer products, as I am already running a Razer Copperhead and Razer Lachesis paired with the Razer Goliathus and Razer eXactMat mouse surfaces currently.

Thanks to Bryan and Jonathan from Razer Singapore I was able to land my hands on their latest product, the Razer Mamba. Featuring a 5,600 DPI resolution, this mouse is able to run on a dual wired and wireless mode while maintaining a 1ms response rate.

I particularly love the futuristic design of the charging dock which also acts as the wireless receiver unit.

On top of that, they threw in the Razer Tarantula keyboard as well. What I love about this keyboard is that it as has a neat feature which allows you to press up to 10 keys at one go without any signal failures.

It also features the same 1ms response rate like the other Razer products, making this keyboard 8 times faster than conventional keyboards which mostly runs on a 125Hz/8ms clock cycle.

Well, enough said. Lets move on to some pictures for your drooling purposes and welcome to the Razer Cult.

Thanks again Bryan and Jonathan! Love you guys! (not in a gay way)

上網的女人

2009-11-18T19:00:00.013+08:00

我有一位朋友，今年失恋了。可是今天不讲她的故事，因为失恋的人，都会觉得自己的故事特别的凄惨。可是却对于某些人，说来说去都是千篇一律，听都听到腻了。

我给她取了个花名，叫做深夜上网的女人。因为她几乎每次都选在当我快要去睡觉的时候，忽然间弹出一个message。

让我来讲讲一下，她是个怎么样的人。

一个在深夜上网的女人，除了因为是工作必须，除了纯粹因为好玩，或多或少都会有着自己的心事。尤其是经常深夜上网的女人，一定有着深深浅浅的不能轻易与人道的寂寞。

这样的女人，不一定非常漂亮，也许只有几分可以让自己自信的姿色，但是一定有着丰富的情感，温柔而细腻。

在现实生活中，她们或许都会有着或大或小的成就，是同龄人中的佼佼者，是别人眼中的能人。在工作中，她们可以独挡一面；在朋友面前，她们善解人意、尽力替朋友排忧解难。她们是生活中看起来的强者。在太阳底下，她们是赏心悦目的女人。

只有在夜深人静的时候，她们才会疲惫地除去坚强的伪装，审视镜子中那个憔悴的容颜，对着网络对着键盘对着一个陌生的名字倾吐自己的心事，释放自己的脆弱。

她们也有着如水的柔情，只是无人轻易能解。她们也有着许许多多脆弱的泪水，只是别人很少看见。她们的爱执着而热烈，只是无人知道。

你很难完完全全地走进她们的心里面完整地拥有它们。她们是成熟的女人。她们对生活有自己的见解，她们有自己处世的原则、有自己的人生观。

但是她们一旦向你打开心扉，你就会惊奇地发现在那么坚强的外表下藏着的竟然是那么一颗伤痕累累的心，你会情不自禁地想要付出你的关爱给她温暖，你会不由自主地想呵护她疼她宠她。你会在她生病的时候想陪着她，在她没有力气的时候想牵着她，但是你又是那么害怕，害怕不小心伤害了她。

于是你小心翼翼地保持着让她们觉得安全的距离。给她快乐，听她哭泣，让她的灵魂不在孤独地漂浮在寂寞的深夜。

深夜上网的女人是寂寞的女人。但是她们不会选择去酒吧买醉，不会让袅袅的香烟麻醉了自己，不肯让自己在灯红酒绿的世界里迷失。她们不需要虚伪的怜悯，她们需要的是真诚的友情。

于是，她们选择了逃避，把满腔心事都深埋进文字，然后微笑着继续坚强的人。

xxx，我讲得对吗？我知道你还需要一些时间来复原。不要紧，慢慢来。其实我觉得你最近好像好了很多也，而且也开始慢慢的开朗起来了。不过呢，是时候要早睡早起了，你总不能一直这样颠倒生活嘛！

所以你不可以再做深夜上网的女人了，要不然啊很快会变老哦！嘻嘻！

什么是朋友

2009-11-12T02:00:00.034+08:00

最近不晓得吃了啥药，感觉好像用中文在部落格抒发心情比用英文来的痛快。

啊难道我的英文退步了？还是中文进步了呢？不可能吧！还记得在求学时期，我的中文考试从来都没及格过哎！

总是觉得用中文可以让我更直接的表达我内心的感想，感觉还不错！还挺有满足感的！

刚刚在msn有位老朋友告诉我说她最近都有在读我的部落格，而且还读的津津有味！哈哈，谢谢你哦！

我在想Carmen啊你是不是太空闲了，所以没事干才跑来我的部落格这里浪费青春啊？

老朋友问我：“吖你，不然你就写一写什么叫做朋友好吗？”

被她这样一问，王八蛋我竟然感觉有点茫然呢呵呵！

我这个人啊平时就没啥嗜好，可是就爱在空闲时后对着朋友胡说八道，乱扯一番。朋友不得空的时候，就在这里bullshit一下咯！

我承认以前的我超天真的，觉得朋友之间就应该坦然相对、无所不谈、两肋插刀、上刀山、下油锅、一条底裤两个人穿！这样做朋友才够真心，够豪爽、够过瘾嘛！

原来，我错了。而且还大错特错。我做人很简单，跌跌撞撞了几十年，对朋友的定义就只有以下这几种。

出卖你的朋友
做了几十年人，他妈的我到现在都还会看错人！有时候真的觉得自己很失败，想了一下前后几十年都不晓得被人出卖了多少次。所以，有些朋友绝对是拿来出卖的。这些人在你面前都是假情假意，在你背后恨不得多插你两刀。

有谁没被朋友出卖过呢？当然，我承认自己也曾经出卖过朋友。可是后来回头想想，原来是因为我从来都不曾把他们当成是朋友。算了，后来发生的事情就当是报应吧！过去的就让它过去。

现在的我，变得非常挑剔。要嘛就真心的跟你做朋友，会坦然而且真诚的对待你，不然我就直接尽量减少跟你来往好了。而且，没有了这些朋友，你在感情生活里细水长流的机率也会大大提高。

互相利用的朋友
这种朋友，多半接近你的主要原因是因为在你的身上有他们想要的东西。比如说钱、虚荣感、生意上的利益等等。当然，对于这些人你也不必跟他们客气，如果他们身上也刚好有你想要的东西，那大家互相利用一下也无妨。

当然，你必须很理智的去处理这种关系。一旦处理不当的话，你那脆弱的小小心灵就准备受伤无疑了。处理的当的话，对你的人生旅途其实还蛮有帮助的。

说起来有点无奈，可是这就是人生。尤其做生意的，又有哪个是不互相利用的呢？

猪朋狗友
又称酒肉朋友，这种朋友只会在有的吃喝玩乐的时候出现。这种朋友多半是利益上的朋友，没有真正的友谊。但他们会把快乐及是送与你，和他们交往你会感到生活充满了乐趣。想想一下，这样的朋友在现实生活中也是不可缺少的对吧！但是，当你真的遇到问题或是出事了，他们的电话号码绝对不是你第一个会想要播的，就算给你联络到他们了也没用。因为他们是不会来的。

这种朋友我以前多的很，而且通常他们多半也是出卖你的朋友。你有甜头给他们的时后，你就是他们身边最受欢迎的人了。比如你请客吃饭、看戏、喝酒、卡拉OK、Disco 等等需要花钱的活动，他们一定会到。男女不拘，有的玩就可以了。这种朋友，简单嘛！用钱就可以买回来了。

跟这些人交往的话，是非特别的多。若是一个不小心被你听到他们在你背后说你的那些坏话，你真的搞不好还会想要马上冲去厨房拿起菜刀向他们乱砍。这些人通常都很思想肤浅、好逸恶劳、游手好闲、不求上进、贪图安逸、好高骛远、贪生怕死。

我好像都把他们都说的一文不值似的，可是我觉得一点也不过分。而且，我觉得这样写是给他们最高的表扬与赞美。

现在的我身边已经没有这些朋友了，因为全都给我斩的一干二净。感觉还蛮好的，因为少了很多是非，自然也少了很多drama，可能你会觉得这样会不会单调了一点？但是我可以认真的告诉你，平淡是福。

真正的朋友
这种朋友，可以是普通朋友，也可以是深交。不管怎样，他们都有一个共同点，那就是他们都是在没有任何利益情况下还能彼此真诚的跟你交往。

这种朋友，不需要太多。这些朋友不但非常难得，而且还得经得起时间的考验。你的人生里，哪怕只要有几个真正的知心朋友，那你就算没有白过了。因为这种朋友，是用真诚换回来的。

朋友，是会在你难过、痛苦的时候伸出援手的那个人。
朋友，是会在你开心、快乐的时候与你一起分享的那个人。
朋友，是会让出他们的双肩被你的泪水打湿的那个人。
朋友，是会一直期望他永远陪在你身边的那个人。
朋友，是不会人云亦云，不会在你受伤的伤口上再洒上一把盐的那个人。
朋友，是不会因为小人对你的栽赃，而远离你的那个人。
朋友，是不会见利忘义，对有用的人就阿虞奉承，没用就一脚踢开的那个人。
朋友，是会在你需要帮助的时候，不顾一切的对你呵护的那一个人。
朋友，是会对你最忠诚，不会因为你暂时的不顺利而把你忘掉的那一个人。
朋友，是会为你两肋插刀，会为你呼风唤雨，对你百般呵护的那一个人。

嗯，我想朋友就应该是这样吧！起码，这是我做朋友的定义。

至于那些不了解什么是叫真正知心好友的读者，那就请你们别再亵渎『朋友』这两个神圣的字眼好了。

以上所提到的种类，请问你又是哪一种呢？

好人不適合談戀愛

2009-11-09T18:52:00.006+08:00

送給我最近剛分手的幾位好朋友，作為好人的你們真的不適合談戀愛。

好人一般說來長相普通（長得太帥的通常當不了好人呵呵），個性溫和且忠厚老實，往往有一項特殊的專長和技能，好比說是會修計算機，有設計專長，學問淵博愛讀書等等，但是在與陌生人交往時顯得有點害羞。

有些好人熱心助人，在同儕團體之間是大家都樂於來往的對象，不過只要一遇到漂亮的或自己喜歡的女生，好人馬上就變成啞巴。他們的原則是，人與人之間本來就應該好來好去，特別是對他們有點友善的人，更是要加倍奉還。我們通常說的好好先生，就是他們。

好人和同性來往時，一點問題也沒有；但是遇到自己喜歡的女生時，麻煩就來了。他們的交友範圍不算廣，所以能夠認識的女生，可能就是同班同學，同事，或者是參加一些社團認識的朋友。他們喜歡的對象，也不至於要怎樣地國色天香，但是基本的姿色是不可少的，通常都必須具備甜美的笑容，禮貌的態度，以及一開始時對好人的和善。好人搞不清楚這個和善是這個女生的天性，還是對他有好感。也許，她就是他那個命中註定的女孩也說不定！好人這樣幻想著。

一開始的時候，好人覺得，那位女生對自己不錯，所以他當然要對她的好給與適當的回報，甚至更多，因為大家好來好去是他的信念，更何況是一個自己欣賞，還很有可能進一步發展的人呢？

於是，他和女生開始頻繁地來往，一起走路進辦公室，下班後有時一起喝個咖啡，除了業務往來外通個電話，訴說一天上班的心得。女生偶爾有什麼事情需要他的幫忙，或需要他提供一些訊息甚至勞務等等，他都義不容辭地盡全力滿足她。

因為在他的心裡，這除了是朋友之間的互相幫忙之外，更是他好好表現的機會；做多了，一定可以打動她的心，每一次的幫忙，對好人來說，就是一種付出，他似乎已經可以看到兩人在不久的將來，手牽手，相互依偎，互訴情衷，親親我我的景象了。好人的幻想持續增溫。

但是，事情不是這樣的。

幾個月後，隨著他們兩人的接觸越來越頻繁，他對她的渴望也越來越深，就在好人覺得跟她成為男女朋友的機會越來越高的時候，突然一切都不一樣了。

好人不知道自己做錯了什麼，不過很明顯地，這個女生突然開始怪了。以前她的電話，每打必接，現在卻常常沒有人接；以前聊天聊個半小時或一個小時都是家常便飯，現在講個兩分鍾她就有事得掛斷電話。

以前傳簡訊給她的時候，寫過去的簡訊越溫馨，她的回傳簡訊讀起來也越溫暖，現在傳簡訊過去，就像石沈大海，響應的比率趨近於零，頂多就是告訴他，他的邀請她無法赴約。

以前聊 msn 的時候都有聊不完的話，每次下線前都還難分難捨，現在她在 msn 上的響應語句越來越簡短，不僅不會再主動打招呼，響應語句還大幅縮水，通常就是用「嗯」、「嘻」、「呵」之類的語句來打發人，看起來的感覺就像是在說︰「我不想跟你多說話，麻煩你找其它人好嗎？」

好人開始納悶︰「到底怎麼了」？「到底發生了什麼事」？「我是不是做錯了什麼」？他很想打電話過去問個明白，但是對方好像老早就知道他想問什麼一樣，永遠不讓他有機會把那個問題提出來。

其實，他根本也不敢問﹗因為他知道，如果真的追問下去，傳說中的「好人卡」就要發到自己手上來了。他也不是沒有接過卡，但是總不能從十六歲開始想交女朋友，就一直收卡收到現在吧？

漸漸地，她甜美的聲音，變成了他的夢魘，他再也不敢撥電話給她了。他也曾經安慰過自己，是不是自己太主動了點，嚇到對方了？是不是她需要更多的時間，才能接受自己的感情？是不是她想考驗他的熱情和決心，現在放棄的話一切的努力就白費了。

替她想了那麼多，但是一個冷冰冰的，從自己心底深處發出來的聲音,不斷地有如魔音穿腦般地告訴他自己︰我被發卡了！我被發卡了！我被發卡了！他可以短暫地麻痹自己，但是他騙不了自己啊！

然後，幾個月後，甚至幾年以後，他又遇到了一個心儀的女孩子。他小心翼翼地，希望上次的情形不要再發生了。但是，他彷彿被詛咒了一般，一切情形就像鬼打墻一樣，不斷地重演。有時候，他都可以預測女生要開始不接電話，不回傳簡訊，不上 msn 了。

他變得越來越不敢打電話給女生，也越來越不敢對女生獻慇勤，更不要說對女生進行邀約了。因為，一開始的交往越溫馨，之後的回憶也越痛苦。

有些好人選擇自暴自棄，讓魔鬼佔據他的心，開始對女生進行心裡和行為上的報復。他決定不再對任何人付出真心，只要有女生的表現有點像他以前遇到的「發卡機」，他心中的警鈴馬上響起，要嘛選擇立刻放棄，要嘛決心周旋到底，但是滿腦想著就是仇恨，以及最後「把」到人家之後，要如何把她甩掉的計謀。他失去了愛別人的心，也放棄了享受愛的權利。

也有些好人決定默默地承受沒有人愛，持續「收卡」的日子。因為他們相信，好人到最後一定是有好報的，總有一天，會有一個命中天女出現，和他相守一生。果不其然，那個人最後出現了，但是通常都是相親認識的對象，兩人一認識，就是看彼此合適不適合結婚而已。他感受不到那份對愛情的悸動，有時候還要忍受對自己老婆過去的猜忌。

什麼猜忌呢？

因為，他這個條件不錯的結婚對象，有時在不經意的時候，會透露出她最後為什麼選擇他的原因。通常都是看他經濟有基礎，做人忠厚老實，是個可以結婚的對象等等；她說她不想再蹉跎光陰，也不想再遇到那些懂得甜言蜜語，風趣自信，但是自己無法掌控，會讓自己痛苦不已的男人。

聽到女人的抱怨，好人的感覺是五味雜陳的。難道他永遠就是女人感情失敗後的備胎嗎？難道女人對他的青睞，一定只能發生在中年以後嗎？他並不是想對這個彼此盡夫妻義務的婚姻生活抱怨，但是總有那麼一絲絲的遺憾，為何他的愛情，沒有在年輕的時候到來？

如果可以選擇的話，他寧可像自己的老婆一樣，嘗過愛情的酸甜苦辣，然後最後選擇一個，自己覺得最適合的對象結婚，而不是像個愛情世界裡的小學生，感情的世界一片空白。

所以奉勸你們，別再做好人了。自私一點，多為自己著想一點吧！別再做別人的后備胎了。

加油！

Happy Birthday Mummy

2009-11-07T19:25:00.002+08:00

Mummy's birthday is around the corner and I plan to bring her out for a nice dinner tonight. She always wanted a handbag (on top of her existing mount of collections) so I got her a Coach handbag for her present.

Happy birthday mummy! We love you very much!

分手时，不要问

2009-11-02T17:50:00.005+08:00

Dedicate给我那刚刚分手的好朋友，妳要坚强一点。
他既然离开了妳，那妳不要再去缠他了。

分手时，沉默是最好的问题，最圆满的答案。
当一段恋爱没有修成正果的时候，分手是难免的。

谁不是痛过几次后，哭过几次后，才找到最后的爱。（虽然我上几次都没哭过）
分手是必经的，但有些问题可以不必问。

不要问：为什么要分手？
因为无论答案是什么，都是妳难以接受的原因。

不要问：你有没有爱过我？
爱过又如何？未爱过又如何？总之现在这一刻就不爱。

不要问：我做错了些什么？
爱不是讲什么对错，而是讲感觉。相爱是谈情，不是讲理。
当爱的感觉已不存在了，对和错又可以挽回什么呢？

不要问：我有什么不好，她有什么好？我有什么比不上她呢？
何必逼着对方再一次的侮辱妳，伤害妳的自尊呢？

不要问：难道你不记得我们以前快乐的日子吗？
当他决定要离开妳的时候，以前的事已经对他不重要了。
他要的是现在的快乐，和将来的快乐。

不要问：不如我们重新来过，我改。好吗？
这个哀求只会另对方觉妳更可怜，更卑微。

不要问：那我们可不可以做朋友？
这样会拖泥带水，对方只会感到厌倦。

女人心疼男人的种种方式

2009-10-30T11:33:00.006+08:00

当你愛上一個男子，千万別去想自己是不是应该矜持一点。愛他就告诉他，有时候男人也很爱虚荣，你的表白会让他的自信达到顶点。

当你已经不愛他了，那么也用最直接的方式告诉他。別去考虑他会不会脆弱，男人的自尊远比伤痛重要。

当你們已经相愛，那么就要对他信任，有什么想法就告訴他，不管他支持不支持。任何一個男子都希望他的女人依靠他。

在他的朋友面前，要給他十足的地位。面子对男子來说比什么都重要，不要介意在人前当個小女人，要知道小女人都是男人宠出來的。

他在打遊戏的时候，不论你有多急的事情，也不要直接去关他的电脑。最好是搂着他，在他耳边轻轻的细语。因为男人对遊戏的着迷胜过你看一部精彩的肥皂剧。

男人每个月也有那几天，跟女人差不多，心情无故低落。这个时候不要问他怎么了，只要陪在他身边，做好你自己。

他和朋友出去喝酒、打牌，你不要问他为什么不带你一块前往。男人都愿意做风筝，只要线还在你手里，那么就放他去飞吧。

男人都很懶很笨，尽管他愛你，但是不想费尽心思讨好你，你所能做的就是在适当的时候给他一个明示。男人有时候需要女人给他強而有力的当头一棒。

男人不管他外表有多強大，但是骨子里都还是一个孩子。他在任性的时候不要对他大吼大叫，这对他起不了作用。最有效的办法是陪他一起疯。等他平静后轻轻的告诉他你很爱他。

男人都是不肯认错的，在他知道错的时候给他一個台阶台下，他会知恩图报的。

体谅一个男人，那就是把他当成你的愛人、情人、哥哥、朋友、父亲、孩子。愛他，不要给他负担，给他自由，给自己自由。

做女人要知道什么时候该进，什么时候该退。什么时候该挡在他的前面，什么时候该躲在他身后。把他当成你自己一样去爱护，成全了他的幸福，他才会成全你的幸福。

暧昧，你懂吗？

2009-10-27T17:32:00.006+08:00

这是个曖昧橫行的年代。

感情出现的第三个种类。

比友情深但却比愛情浅。

游走于二者的边缘。

这就是曖昧。

是什么时候开始本应该是明明朗朗的愛情成了一場麓战？

谁先动心谁就满盘皆输，万劫不复。

是谁把简单复杂化？

其实说穿了。。。

曖昧，是比好朋友再亲一点但比情人远一点。

曖昧，是你会常常在 msn 等他上线，当他几天沒有上线你就会有些担心。

曖昧，是每天大家都会聊 msn，会互传手机短讯，还可能会无规律地偶然约会。

曖昧，是你会时不时去他的 blog 或 facebook 看看有沒有更新，而且你会留意字里行间他对你有沒有什么暗示。

曖昧，是有感觉然而这种感觉不足以叫你切切实实地发展一段正式的关系。

曖昧，是明白人生有太多的无奈，现实有太多的限制。你知道沒有可能但又捨不得放手。

曖昧，是有进一步的冲动，却沒有进一步的勇氣。

曖昧，是他不是你的情人但似乎他比你的情人更关心你和了解你。

曖昧，是你会编一条围巾給他但大家从沒有开始过。

曖昧，是虽然他不是你的情人但他却会对你说：“你对我是十分重要的”。

曖昧，是你感冒时有一個会在晚上打电话來特意提醒你服药叫你盖好被子早点睡的普通朋友。

曖昧，是可以推脫責任的游戏，沒有承诺就无需负责。

曖昧，是勇敢者的游戏，無畏的人才能在角逐中进退自如。

曖昧，是每当他提及他的另一半時你會万箭穿心。

曖昧，是为了逃避背叛的罪恶感。

曖昧，是甜津津又同時酸溜溜的往往从未开始已叫人不安患得患失。

曖昧，是別人以为你们在搞地下情時你会马上否认，但却沾沾自喜。

曖昧，是別人问你们是否恋爱中你会马上否认，可是心里却万般的希望确是如此。

曖昧，是常常挣扎表不表白，你怕表白之后你既得不到一个情人却又失去了一个知心好友。

曖昧，是见到时他你会心跳，見不到他时你会挂念他。

曖昧，是两个人都会互相猜想他是不是已经暗示了什么? 我是不是自作多情?

曖昧，是你很想多走一步但又怕会吓怕了他，你会很小心流露自己的感情。

曖昧，是除了情人节之外，其他的节日大家都可以交换礼物而不感到尴尬。

曖昧，是兩个人沒有承诺过什么，但虽然如此你愿意付出的比有承諾的情侶更多。沒有責任但你却很渴望去承担，不问回报。

曖昧，是你看了這篇文章后，心里马上就会想到的那个人是不是?

Mind Games That Women Play

2009-10-26T15:08:00.003+08:00

"Do you think I look fat in this dress?"

When a woman asks you this, you're doomed. No matter what you say, it will be the wrong answer. She already knows she looks fat or she wouldn't be asking you the question in the first place.

But if you fib and tell her that she looks skinny, she knows it's not the truth and she'll punish you not only for lying to her, but also for noticing that she's been packing on the pounds. She might even break into tears because, "You don't love me for who I am."

Either way, you're fucked.

So why do women indulge in these silly mind games?

Well, for one thing, they're women. And women think and react with their emotions, or at least more than men do in general. But it's really about testing us. And tests are ultimately all about control of the relationship.

The typical guy is usually clueless about the mind games women play. But play them they will, so you'd better be aware of what's going on.

Let's take a look at three different stages - Meeting, Dating and Relationship to see what kinds of games the typical female plays.

1 - The MEETING STAGE

Sexy clothes - She wears provocative clothing and then gets mad when you check her out.

What's her mind game?: No logic here at all. Of course men are going to look and she knows it. And when they do, she castigates them for their normal and natural interest.

Shallow initial contact - She'll come on to you, flirt, even act sexually suggestive with absolutely no intention of going on a date or getting involved.

What's her mind game?: She wants to get a rise out of you to assure herself that she's still attractive to the men. Surprisingly, a lot of attached women play this game.

No phone call - She'll give out her number with no intention of dating you. Or she'll take your number and never call you.

What's her mind game?: This is another bid for power. She just wants to reassure herself that she can control men with her sexuality.

Hard to get - She turns you down for a date or doesn't return your call, even if she's interested in going out with you.

What's her mind game?: Sometimes this is simply a power play and sometimes what she wants is for you to chase her, to determine how desperate you are for sex. If you bite, then she knows she's totally in control of the relationship and you'll forever jump to the crack of her whip.

On to the Dating Stage, where things can potentially get worse.

2 - THE DATING STAGE

Broken dates - She breaks your date at the last minute or doesn't show up at all without a word of apology.

What's her mind game?: She knows that the one being pursued controls the course of the relationship and she wants to ensure that you dance to her tune early on. Many women play this game to see how desperate a man is. If you roll over and puppy-dog it at this point, you might as well just put a collar around your neck.

Waiting time - She's late or not ready when you pick her up for a date. Furthermore, this is a recurring issue.

What's her mind game?: She's trying to figure out how much she can get away with. She wants to be the one calling the shots; she wants you to run after her and wonder if she's really interested in you. Furthermore, if she makes you wait for her, she sends a clear signal that she values her time more than she does yours.

Expensive dates - She wants to go to the most expensive restaurant, the most exclusive club, the hottest play and expects you to fund the whole thing without a whimper.

What's her mind game?: She's aware that you know that if you don't fork over the cash, you won't have a prayer of getting her into bed. To make matters worse, she might even do this if she has unequivocally no intention of having sex with you. Woe to you if you've already proven to her that you're desperate for sex and your credit card is going to be smoking.

No sex - She gets you hot and bothered and then backs off, or otherwise restricts access to sex.

What's her mind game?: This is a perfect example of manipulation and exultation of her sexual power over you, plain and simple. She might also play this game to extract more cash from your wallet (see previous point).

Serial flirt - She flirts with other men in front of you.

What's her mind game?: What she's doing is testing to see how interested you are and underscoring the fact that she's sexually desirable to other men (so you'd better toe the line bro).

Inconsistent wants - She says one thing, then does another. For example, she'll tell you that it doesn't matter where the two of you go or what you do, and then pout all night when you make the "wrong" choice.

What's her mind game?: She wants to be the one finding faults with you, and not the other way around. Of course, there's no way for you to know what the "right" choices are.

And for the finale, the games women play when you're settling in.

3 - THE RELATIONSHIP STAGE

Selfish ways - She acts any way she pleases to see if you'll tolerate her bad behavior or pushes you around to see if you'll stand up to her.

What's her mind game?: She's testing to see how "much of a man" you are (how much control she has over you), as well as arming herself with ammunition for future arguments, in case you get mad and fly into a rage.

Mind reading - She expects you to read her mind. This includes her sexual desires, her favorite restaurants, what happened to her during the day, and every other little trivial thing.

What's her mind game?: She wants to see if you care. She wants to know that you understand her feelings and listen to her. You are somehow supposed to magically guess exactly what she's thinking, what she wants and how she wants it without her having to say a word. When, naturally, you fail to "just know," she punishes you (often by cutting off sex).

Comparison to others - She compares you to her friends' boyfriends.

What's her mind game?: Women are always looking to feather their nests. If she finds a better deal, she'll toss you aside and move on to her next victim...uh, boyfriend.

Crazy antics - She throws tantrums and generally acts unpleasant and bitchy.

What's her mind game?: She wants to know just how much crap you'll put up with.

Inconsistent wants - She indulges in contradictory thinking. She wants a manly man who takes charge, but who has metrosexual traits and loves watching romantic comedies.

What's her mind game?: She tells you that she wants you to show more emotion, but when you do, she brands you as "weak." This is yet another example of her keeping the upper hand in the relationship, by making you feel like she can be the one dumping you if you're not exactly what she wants.

Virgo Man

2009-10-23T15:50:00.013+08:00

I came across this book by Linda Goodman, and this is what she had to say about a Virgo man.

According to her I'm actually made out of combination of steel and ice. I'm immune to sexual flirtations, cranky, good in acting and worst of all most bachelors in the world are actually Virgos.

She even advised Virgo's partners to let them worry, according to her it is actually good for the Virgo as its just like a mental exercise to them. She can't be serious right?

Damn, no wonder nobody wants to date me.

Virgo Man by Linda Goodman

We may as well get this out into the open right away. Don't pin your hopes on a Virgo man if your heart is hungry for romantic dreams and fairy tales, or you'll find yourself on a starvation diet. A love affair with a Virgo will dump a warm sentimentalist on the cold ground with a hard thud, and it can hurt.

This man lives almost entirely on a practical, material level, and he has little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Of course, the whole problem may be academic anyway, since it will take no little effort to bring him anywhere near the threshold of a man-woman relationship in the first place. He's not the type to serenade you beneath your boudoir window. You'll have a long, lonely wait on your moonlit balcony until he starts climbing the rose trellis (or the fire escape, if you live in a walk-up).

Actually, Virgos are deeply involved with love from earliest childhood, but not the Romeo-Juliet kind of love. His chief way of expressing the word is concerned with unselfish devotion to family, friends and those weaker or more disorganized than himself. He was born with an instinctive love of work, love of duty and discipline and devotion to the helpless. Even the un-evolved Virgo, who doesn't quite reach such heights, feels slightly guilty that he isn't living up to a selfless ideal in some way.

The kind of love which displays itself in dramatic emotions, sentimental promises, tearful declarations and mushy affection, not only leaves a Virgo man cold, it can frighten him into catching the nearest bus or train out of town. (Planes are too fast and too expensive for him, unless he's really desperate.) But he can be melted if the temperature is just right, even though he seems to be made of a combination of steel and ice. There are definitely ways to the Virgo heart. Secret ways, aggressive pursuit is not one of them. Neither is coquetry nor sexuality, as many a flirtatious vamp and slinky siren has learned, to her surprise and disappointment.

Virgos seeks quality rather than quantity in romance. Since quality is at pretty much of a premium in any category, they have few real love affairs, and the few they do have are destined to be unlucky or sad in some way, more often than not. Virgo's reaction to such a disappointment is normally to bury himself in the hardest work he can find, stay away from society in general, and be twice as cautious at the next opportunity. You can see that you'll have to use considerable strategy and patience. The basic Virginian instinct is chastity, and he's turned from it only for a good cause or for a mighty good woman.

Many Virgos though admittedly not all can live with celibacy far more easily than any other Sun sign, just as they put up with rules of discipline they don't understand, because obedience to fate without struggling comes naturally to them. If fate decrees a single life, Virgo is prepared to accept it without excess regret or emotional trauma, so there are lots of Virgo bachelors around but still, in their quiet way, they can manage some very poetic, if fragile, love affairs.

Although he's never obvious, Virgo can be a master of the art of subtle seduction. A couple of generations of women who have trembled inside when a certain French man smiles his shy, gentle smile can tell you all about it. Maurice Chevalier didn't become a legend because he has a singing voice like Caruso, you know. He may not be of my generation, but I too get butterflies in the heart region when I see or hear him.

The Virgo man is a blend of sharp intellect and solid earth. He can be detached enough to break lots of hearts with a cool kind of flirting, but his critical analytical sense and his fastidious discrimination seldom allow these frequent excursions to leave the platonic arena. It has to burn with a white heat to produce real passion in a Virgo. His modesty and selectivity alone prevent undue promiscuity. Of course, there may be an occasional fall into an earthy, physical experience, but such indiscretions are the exception, rather than the rule.

He'll take his own precious time about finding a love object, because he's as critical and painstaking in the selection of a woman as he is in his eating, grooming, health and work habits. Don't try to fool him or lie to him. Your Virgo lover holds no illusions. He wants a decent, honest and genuine relationship. He knows very well how small his chances are of finding it, but it's useless to expect him to accept anything less. If circumstances ever do involve him in a sordid affair, you can be certain he won't remain in its clutches for long.

He is a difficult man to stir emotionally. He can go for a long time without feeling any burning need for a permanent mate. It's enough to make you cry if you've set your cap for him. You'll wonder if he's made of marble or if he was born without a heart. No, he isn't made of marble and yes, he does have a heart. Be patient. To her who waits comes eventual success.

Now and then a curious, frustrated Virgo may try a fling at deliberate promiscuous behavior, simply to see if he's lacking in masculinity. He's not, of course, and as soon as he discovers it, he seeks no more artificial experiences to prove himself. No cool, clear and collected Virgo can be immune to the call of human nature forever, but once he does succumb, he’ll be shy about admitting it.

When he's on the threshold of submission, he'll cover his true feelings with elaborate casualness. There is more than a spark of subdued, but extremely refined acting talent in Virgo. He will pretend to be disinterested as cleverly as he pretends to be ill when he's not enjoying himself at a party. Don't expect him to respond with any great display of ecstatic surrender even after he's committed, and while he's still deciding if you're really the one for whom he'll forsake his single state, he'll play it mighty cool, indeed.

Once he's decided it's for real, however, he'll declare himself with touching simplicity. His love will burn with a steady flame, never fluctuating like the love of other Sun signs, and it will give warmth over the years with wonderful dependability. Is that so bad? The one quality of fairy tale romance about Virgo is that, if he's genuinely in love, he will wait for years to claim his true mate, or travel over a thousand mountains to bring her home to his hearth.

He's capable of enormous sacrifice in the pursuit of that one dainty foot he's discovered will fit the glass slipper. There's no denying that the flame is strong, once it's been kindled. It's almost impossible to extinguish it. You'll be as eternally adored as Cinderella herself. The trick, I suppose, is in the original kindling. It's a rare foot that fits his glass slipper. Virgo is enormously particular.

After you've caught him, he’ll seldom if ever invite your jealousy, and he'll be determined to overcome any rough spots caused by financial problems, relatives or outside interference. He'll show incredible strength through emotional and material hardships, as long as you remain by his side. You couldn't ask for a tenderer, gentle companion when your heart is broken for any reason by a cruel world or when you're physically ill. He won't shower you with money, but you'll be well supplied with necessities, and he will shower you with consideration.

A Virgo man is invariably kindly and thoughtful about all those little things which matter to women. He has a crystal clear memory and probably won't forget special dates, though he may be a bit mystified as to why you think they are so important. He won't be wildly, passionately jealous, yet Virgo males are possessive in the extreme. This sounds like a fine line to draw, but it's important. Even though he doesn't throw emotional scenes of jealousy over the attentions other men pay you, his deeply rooted possessiveness should warn you that a little freedom goes a long way.

The wife of a Virgo who wanders too far away from the home fires too often may find herself without a husband to return to. Virgos are utterly loyal and they dislike destroying family ties intensely, but when their sense of decency has been finally outraged they won't hesitate to make a cold, clean break in the divorce court. No messy, complicated trial separations for them. When it's over, it's over. Goodbye and good luck.

Even the Virgo's sharp, unusually excellent memory won't cause him to cry sentimental tears over the past, simply because he's able to discipline his memory as firmly as he does his emotions. Self-discipline is part of his very nature. The Virgo man with his mind made up moves on and having moved on, all your tears and apologies are useless in getting him to change his mind. He'll never fall victim to the illusion that gluing together the broken pieces will recreate perfection in what has once been seriously flawed.

If your heart is set on a Virgo man, you'd better brush up your thinking cap and wear it when he's around. Virgos hate ignorance, stupidity and sloppy thinking almost as much as they hate dirt and vulgarity, and that's a lot. The girl who snares the Virgo heart had better be smartly dressed with a sizable brain under her neat hair style and you'll notice I said neat hair style. Virgos look for women who are clean in body and mind, and who dress well, but not in flashy extremes of fashion.

You won't have to be Julia Child, but for goodness sakes, don't ever be naive enough to think a Virgo husband will let you feed him out of cans. A pleasure seeking, selfish, mentally lazy woman will never make it with a Virgo male, even if she's fairly oozing with sex appeal. This is the very last man in the world you can expect to find running off with a topless Go-Go girl, though he might loan her his sweater if she's chilly. When it comes right down to the nitty-gritty, he's looking for a wife-not a mistress in any sense of the word.

Virgo men have no strong yearning for fatherhood, as a rule. Their particular kind of ego doesn't seem to require children for emotional fulfilment, and Virgos tend to have small families. Yet, once a child or children have been born, the Virgo is an extremely conscientious parent, and will never take his responsibilities lightly. He’ll spend many hours teaching his youngsters skills and transmitting his own high standards of conduct. He'll be cheerfully willing to help with homework and will probably make no end of sacrifices for hobbies, music lessons, camp and especially college.

A Virgo father will place great emphasis on intellect and train his children rigidly in matters of ethics, courtesy and good citizenship. Even the divorced Virgo will eventually see to it somehow that his offspring are well cared for, wherever they may be, and that they get an education. Children of Virgo fathers usually grow up with both love and respect for books and learning. You'll seldom find a Virgo parent spoiling a child, and there will always be plenty of necessary discipline.

All this is fine, but there may be a need for more physical expressions of love between a Virgo father and his youngsters, since affection is not something that comes naturally to him. Unless a serious effort is made in this area from babyhood on, there's more than a small chance that he'll one day discover an insurmountable barrier has grown between him and the offspring he loves so deeply. There's also a tendency to be too critical, to expect too much too soon and be too strict.

A Virgo will expect you to fuss a bit over his health, but he’ll wait on you when you're sick, too, and allow you to be a regular Camille. He may have his cranky and moody spells now and then, perhaps even frequently. But one thing is sure. If you leave him alone, he won't go out of his way to start an argument with you. Just let him gets over his grumpiness and he'll surprise you with tenderness to make up for it.

Let him worry. It's good for him, sort of a Virgo mental exercise. But when you see it's affecting his physical state, snap him out of it by suggesting something interesting or different to do. It isn't hard to catch the mental attention of a Virgo, though it may be hard to keep it.

Now that you know what you're in for, if you're still in love with that Virgo man, you can look forward in a pretty contented future. You'll have a husband who's alert and well informed, who won't expect you to wait on him hand and foot or expect you to run around looking sexy all the time with a dab of perfume behind each ear and a rose in your teeth. (Although he may expect you to go around with a cake of soap in each hand.)

He’ll be reliable and pleasant, if you're tactful about his faults. He won't have many of them anyway unless you call the way he runs his finger across the furniture every night, looking for dust or a fault and little habits like that. No matter what he does, try not to nag him. Remember, he's not constituted to be able to take the critical analysis he applies to others.

Get used to his habit of criticizing you, and laugh it off with the realization that he can't help being such a sensitive hair splitter. Once that resentment is out of the way, you can relax, and really enjoy your bright, loyal Virgo. He's not an angel. There are no wings sprouting on his shoulders. But lots of wives will be jealous of you.

After all, how many women are married to a hard working, handsome man who's neat and tidy around the house, who remembers anniversaries and performs miracles with the check book.

How many wives have a smart husband who dresses well, seldom goes out with the boys or makes passes at other women, and is usually gentle and considerate? Look closely again. Is that just the reflection of the street lights around his head, or could it be . . . ?

No, it couldn't possibly be a halo. Not after the way he snapped at you when you spilled the buttered popcorn in his lap at the theater tonight. Of course not! That cranky character?

Still, there is a kind of an aura. And when he smiles and you can see yourself in his clear eyes well, he'll do until someone with real wings comes along.

话说当年

2009-10-20T18:19:00.052+08:00

今天不晓得是因为吃了巧克力的关系还是读了鲁比的部落格，不知哪来的一股感性还是感慨，突然想到以前小时候的一切生活点点滴滴。而且还心血来潮用中文来写部落格，应该不是脑袋出了问题了吧？

我自小就生长在一个贫穷的家庭，爸妈也不来自有钱人家，所以童年的回忆也不怎么美好。那时候的我，爸爸因为工作的关系时常不在家，而妈妈也需要每天上班且加班到深夜。所以，就把我交给附近的一个邻居托管。

这时候的我们，常常都被人家瞧不起。隔壁家的阿姨时常在我们背后指指点点，我当时还小，根本不知道原来穷是有罪的。

后来因为托儿费实在太高了而让爸妈吃不消，所以从小我就得学习自己照顾自己。每早自己起床刷牙，然后自己泡了一杯 milo 喝了就走路去上学。放学了，就到食堂去吃午餐然后自己走路回家。

那时候的我只有七岁，才读小学一年级。

由于家里贫穷的关系，买不起上等的彩色笔。每次上画画课的时候，看到同学们都用很好且选择又多的彩色笔，心里羡慕的很。每天上课、下课、放学都会看到同学们的爸爸妈妈来接待，不禁的觉得自己很可怜，觉得自己的父母亲好像都不疼我，都没别人的父母来的好。

由于还小的我不知天高地厚、不知道父母一天到晚都为了家里的三餐、为了我的教育在愁。我为了要得到他们的关注，竟然学会偷东西，把同班同学的一盒名贵彩色笔拿了然后放进自己的书包。以为这样就可以瞒天过海，下课了就沾沾自喜的跑去食堂吃东西。

结果，上课钟一敲我回到了班上的时候就看到老师与那位我偷了她的颜色笔的同学站在门口等我。我心想这次死定了。后来老师把我带到办公室去，要我打一个电话给妈妈叫她来接我放学。

我很清楚地记得那天的时间过得最漫长，而且非常难受，感觉好像在等死似的。

下课钟敲了，我背着沉重的书包走出课室，看到妈妈已经站在门口等我。我根本不敢看她，我跟她说老师有事情要我们到办公室去见她。后来，老师把事情的一切告诉了妈妈，妈妈忙着向老师道歉，还说她会回家好好的教训我。

那天晚上，我没有吃晚餐。我们一到家，她就把门关上，把窗帘拉起。然后拿了藤鞭就往我身上打。她一直问我，为什么要偷东西，为什么要做出那么让人丢脸的事情。我那时还小，不会表达自己的感受。所以，我就一直站在那儿不出声的让她用力的往我身上打。

妈妈就一直打一直打，我忍的很辛苦的眼泪都已经快要流下来了，而且感觉到全身被打的地方很痛。藤鞭打到头都开花了，本来以为妈妈会放我一马。不晓得她是真的很生气，还是因为生活的压力，不知她从哪儿拿来的一支朔胶水喉管，脱了我的衣服就往我身上抽。

我那时才七岁，身体幼小的我承受不了这样的抽打，结果晕了过去。醒来的时候，我躺在客厅。有一位警察叔叔坐在我身边，用着一条毛巾包着伤痕累累还有赤裸裸的我，用马来话问我要不要跟他走。我看到一辆警察车泊在门口，那蓝色的警报灯是多么的闪亮和刺眼。

原来是隔壁邻居因为听到我被打时候的惨叫声太凄惨了，怕我会被打伤所以忍不住跑去报警。

我望着妈妈，看到她坐在客厅的角落头不断的哭泣。我告诉警察叔叔我不能跟他走，因为妈妈会一个人在家。

自从那一天起，虽然妈妈再也没有像那晚一样的再打我，可是每一次只要我听到或看到妈妈一把窗帘拉起，我就会全身发抖，不晓得是不是做错了什么她要打我。而且每个晚上还会发恶梦，后来不知道到了小学几年级才逐渐的把事情忘记。

回想起来那已经是二十多年前的事了，后来慢慢长大了懂得做人的道理，懂得赚钱的辛苦，才了解当初妈妈为什么会这么激动。也许她可能当时出手是重了一点，也许当时她是因为被生活压力压的喘不过气来所以才拿我来当出气筒。当时的我也不希望一直把不开心的事情放在心里。

后来过了很久，每当我们说起这件事的时候，她都会眼睛湿湿的告诉我说：

我们就算再穷，也不能偷东西。要穷，也要穷得有骨气。
别人都可以瞧不起我们，但我们千万不可以瞧不起自己。

我非常明白为什么她当初出手会这么重，因为当时的我们实在太穷了。我们根本没有从错误中吸取教训的本钱。爸爸常年都在外面奔跑，而妈妈除了每天上下班都要搭公车，她还得转两个站才到家。到了晚上，她还得在洗衣煮饭后再督促我做功课。

他们根本都没有很多的时间与机会来教育我做人的道理，所以也许当时她急促了一点为了要让我知道偷东西是一个非常严重的错误而出手过重了。

更令我难受的是我在几年前才知道原来我不只有现在这一个弟弟，原来我有两个弟弟。就刚好在事情发生的那一个月里，在妈妈的肚子里面怀了几个月的弟弟突然没有心跳了。当时爸爸还在外地公干，妈妈只好自己一个人到医院去把肚子里的弟弟拿出来，然后也没有“坐月”调养身体，第二天就去上班了。

不知是不是因为这样，妈妈一路以来的身体都不好，一生病就需要很久的时间才康复。妈妈有一天跟我说，她去见了一个很出名专替别人算命的大师。大师看了她的掌纹之后告诉她说她的命很短，不收她的钱。

我为了这件事，讨厌了爸爸很久很久。虽然那是很久以前的事了，可是我想起来当时的妈妈好委屈，好可怜。虽然我答应妈妈以后不会在他们面前提起这件事，可是我还是为了这件事难过了好一段日子。我听了之后，难过死了。

我也为了这件事，责怪了自己好久好久。我不知道是不是因为我的调皮，让妈妈这么生气打我而触动了胎气，让弟弟不能出世。如果是的话，弟弟我向你说声对不起，因为哥哥的事情而否决了你出世的权力，我真的罪该万死。

现在想起来，我都还会偷偷的流眼泪。

不知道是不是因为童年的影响，造成我初期对于人生的态度很极端。我总是觉得不管做人也好，做事也好。要嘛就不做，要做就要做最好。世界上只有第一名和最后一名，没有第二名或第三名什么的。因为知道自己先天的条件没比别人来的好，觉得不管做些什么一定会比别人吃亏所以做些什么都要全力以赴，都要很认真，因为我们没有输的本钱。

这极端的想法，虽然在后来带给了我很多物质上的享受，可是想起来我失去的也不少。同时，也深深的了解了一点，虽然钱不是万能，可是没钱可真的是万万不能。

真是岁月不留人，以前的我是那么的无知，那么的单纯。再看看现在的我，已走了这么远。看见了世界的丑陋，也看见了女人的假情假意与背叛能力等等。当然，当中也有很多快乐的事情，让我不至于觉得人生真的有那么的可悲。

在我二十多岁的时候，不晓得为什么爸爸的生意突然间好起来，而且越做越大。眼看着爸爸将那辆开了将近十年的 proton wira 换了一部最新款的 mercedes benz，他也买了一间比我们当时住着大两倍的屋子。弟弟和妈妈都很高兴也很兴奋，我还时常听到他们在议论纷纷的商量房子要怎么装修。

可是，当时候的我却一点感觉也没有。那时候已经工作了好几年的我，正在半工读考我的 masters，从经济的较度来说我在那时已算是蛮独立的了。我根本不需跟家里拿任何经济上的津贴。

弟弟可就不一样了，爸爸决定送他到澳洲去深造，还在那里给他买了一部车代步。现在他已拥有澳洲的永久居留权了，正在跟女朋友同居，看来他是想在那里落地生根了。

我知道阅读我的部落格不只是亲戚朋友，甚至还有客户与生意上的朋友。每个人都有个故事，这就是我的故事。以前的我鲜少在别人面前提起自己的过去，因为不希望别人会用不同的眼光看我，我讨厌 judgmental 的人，更介意别人的眼光。

眨眼一过，我都快将近三十岁了。如今的我已看的很开了，我很庆幸今天的我有份稳定的收入、有车有楼、有一班好同事、有关心我的好朋友，想想下好像什么都不缺了。今天的我，可以赤裸裸的站在这里跟大家分享我的故事，心情真是百感交集。

可是为什么我还总是觉得钱不够用呢？还是不知不觉中已经慢慢将自己变成跟那些一直在追这物质上享受的人一样了？

Public holiday on your birthday for the rest of your life

2009-10-19T12:00:00.006+08:00

Yep folks, starting year 2010 I will be celebrating my holiday with the entire Malaysia as our Prime Minister just declared Malaysia Day a public holiday!

**** BUAHAHAHAHAHA ****

Source: The Star Online

Author: Yeng Ai Chin

KUALA LUMPUR: Beginning next year, Sept 16, which is Malaysia Day has been declared a public holiday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the day would involve activities that would foster the 1Malaysia spirit.

He added this meant Malaysians would have a twin celebration, to commemorate the country’s independence starting next year

Najib said National Day on Aug 31 would be celebrated with formal events such as a parade to commemorate the historical moment and it would remind the people about the struggle in achieving independence from the colonists.

He made the announcement during the question-and-answer session at Parliament on Monday.

Najib said Sabah and Sarawak, which joined Malaysia in 1963 and the formation of Malaysia as an independent country was a very important moment in history.

“We want the joy and sorrows of the people in Sabah and Sarawak to be felt by the people in the Peninsula,” he said.

“Therefore, I would like to announce to the people of Malaysia that the Cabinet has recently made the decision to celebrate Hari Malaysia on Sept 16 starting 2010.”

Malaysia Day would be celebrated with events that would foster closer unity, understanding between the different races and community success and achievement through sports, social culture and arts, to spur the 1Malaysia spirit, he added.

Maxis Broadband Sucks v2.0

2009-10-19T10:42:00.011+08:00

Recently my dad got conned into upgrading his broadband services by Maxis again claiming things will be different this time. Guess he still hasn't learnt his lesson from the past.

I was really reluctant and skeptical but I decided to give my old man and Maxis the benefit of the doubt so I gave it a go anyways.

I am sure everyone is familiar with the saying which goes like this:

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

I couldn't help but feeling I was once again screwed by Maxis. However, the shame is on me this time.

Still, that doesn't stop me from wanting to shove the modem up Ananda Krishnan's ass. Why do you mother fuckers like to con our money?

Instead of yapping here and there, I'll just post up the speed test results and let them speak for themselves.

Memorable Birthday

2009-09-26T01:26:00.009+08:00

10 days ago was my 29th birthday and I wasn't able to celebrate on the day itself because I was attending an IBM roadshow in KL Hilton.

Shit, can't believe I'm actually 29 already and reaching the 30 mark very soon. Should I feel depressed or what? :P

Yummy!

The Chilliwire boys bought me dinner a day earlier and I would like to thank them for the lovely meal.

And this is probably one of the most meaningful present anyone could ever get me - a personalized magic photo mug and with my pictures on it.

When the cup is not heated, there's nothing on the surface but once you pour in hot water the pictures appears!

Even the wrapping was so thoughtful

Looks like your normal typical mug

Once you pour in hot water, there comes the pictures

Malaysia F1 Team

So, The Star Online reported that our country is forming a F1 team to participate in the upcoming F1 race next year.

Great, while I applaud the move to put Malaysia in the eye of the world besides the KLCC tower and a whole load of corruption news and murder cases that links back to moronic politicians, has one ever thought that whose money are they actually using to fund the damn team?

The news article reported that the investment is done through Proton, and how much is Proton charging already for the fucked up cars they are selling?

We're already fed up by the impose of ridiculous taxes for import cars just to protect Proton's monkey ass, now you want to sell us a piece of crap with a ridiculous price, take the money and then invest it in a F1 team?

Sigh. Poor old Teoh Beng Hock. Poor old Altantuya. Poor old Anwar Ibrahim.

Never Laugh At The Chinese

A Chinese man walks in to a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for 2 weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.

The loan officer agrees accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese man for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee then drives the Ferarri into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

2 weeks later, the Chinese man returns and repays the $5,000 loan together with the interest, which amounts to $15.41.

The loan officer asks,

"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely. But we are a little puzzled, while you were away we checked you out and you are a multi-millionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000 from us?"

The Chinese man replies calmly,

"Where else in New York City can I park a $250,000 Ferarri for 2 weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return?"

So, who has the last laugh now bitch?

The No Asshole Rule

2009-08-10T13:16:00.017+08:00

I was cleaning up my bookshelf the other day and I came across this book that I bought couple years back when I was still working for a Web 2.0 startup.

It was recommeded to me personally by the CEO himself at that time and I couldn't understand back then why he wanted me to read this book until several years later.

And for that I am grateful to him as I wouldn't be who I am today without his mentoring in the past years.

Back then I was coined "The Asshole Detector" as somehow I was perceived to have the ability to be able to detect assholes within the company by just talking to them or working with them for a short while.

Throughout my career along the years, every single person that I recommended to be fired or those that I even fired myself personally turned out to be assholes acknowledged by the entire company.

So how do I became so efficient in detecting assholes? Well, it takes one to know another. I'm not shameful to admit that I can be a big time asshole myself sometimes.

In the past, if any joker tries to challenge me technically when it comes to programming and if I knew I am absolutely right and the person who challenges me refuses to back down I will make it very ugly for that person just to prove my point.

Yes, I had a huge ego back then. I still have one now though however I've learnt to keep my ego in check. It is important for one to know when its your ego speaking and when its not.

Climbing up towards the corporate ladder has toned me down, made me wiser and thought me a lot of things. And definitely one of them is that if you're being an ass most of the time you'll probably end up somewhere with no friends, or you'll probably end up nowhere and still with no friends.

And if you're one of the many that often wondered why an asshole in a particular company is holding a high ranking position, chances are the boss is probably an asshole himself.

Or, the boss is probably smart enough to keep one or two assholes around the company as part of a strategy to keep the employees intact as described within the book.

You might have already heard of ARSE or simply known as Asshole Rating Self-Exam. If not, a simple click is all you need to do to find out whether are you an asshole or not. That is if you can bare your soul and answer the questions truthfully.

Rather then discussing the entire contents of the book here, if time permits may I suggest that you take some time off during the weekends and grab this book at your nearest bookstore.

Nothing beats sitting in Starbucks sipping coffee with a great book in hand.

Then, he's finished.

9 Words Common to Women

2009-07-23T18:10:00.009+08:00

1. Fine

This is the word women use to end an argument when they think they are right no matter what and you need to shut up.

2. Five minutes

If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour to one hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if she tells you that you have been given five more minutes to watch the football game before getting your sorry ass up from the couch to help around the house.

3. Nothing

This is the calm before the storm. This means something and you should be on your toes, and you're almost considered fucked. Keep asking until she gives you a different reply other than "nothing". If you do not continue asking, you're fucked as well.

Arguments that begins with nothing usually ends in fine.

(Refer back to #1 for the meaning of fine)

4. Go ahead

This is a dare, not persmission. Don't do it or you're fucked.

5. Loud sigh

This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing.

(Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

6. That's OK

This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's OK means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

So it's NOT OK.

7. Thanks

When a women is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say "You're welcome". Unless she says "Thanks a lot" - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" because that will bring on a "whatever".

(Refer to to #8 for the meaning of whatever)

8. Whatever

It is a women's way of saying "Screw you".

9. Don't worry about it, I got it

Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a women has told a man to do several times but she's now doing it hreself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" and to be greeted with a "nothing".

Then, you're fucked.

(Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)

Men vs Women

2009-07-22T17:04:00.001+08:00

Time to time the topic of the difference between men and women will come in light and often attempted debates will end up both genders each with their own conclusions.

Here are some run down of the differences, what do you think?

Nicknames

If Angeline, Tammy and Vicky goes out for lunch, they will call each other Angeline, Tammy and Vicky.

If Chew Soon, David and Richard goes out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fei Hai, Godzilla and Four Eye Fatty.

Eating out

When the bill arrives, Chew Soon, David and Richard will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

Money

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need but it’s on sale.

Bathrooms

A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.

The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

Arguments

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Future

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

Success

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

Marriage

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does.

Dressing Up

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

Natural

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

Offspring

A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

Bloodninja: And I have a part time job delivering for Papa John's in my Geo Storm.

DirtyKate: You sound sexy.. I bet you want me in the back of your car..

Bloodninja: Maybe some other time. You should call up Papa John's and make an order

DirtyKate: Haha! OK

DirtyKate: Hello! I'd like an extra-EXTRA large pizza just dripping with sauce.

Bloodninja: Well, first they would say, "Hello, this is Papa John's, how may I help you", then they tell you the specials, and then you would make your order. So that's an X-Large. What toppings do you want?

DirtyKate: I want everything, baby!

Bloodninja: Is this a delivery?

DirtyKate: Umm...Yes

DirtyKate: So you're bringing the pizza to my house now? Cause I'm home alone... and I think I'll take a shower...

**pause**

DirtyKate: So you're at my front door now.

Bloodninja: How did you know?

Bloodninja: I knock but you can't hear me cause you're in the shower. So I let myself in, and walk inside. I put the pizza down on your coffee table.

Bloodninja: Are you ready to get nasty, baby? I'm as hot as a pizza oven

DirtyKate: ooohh yeah. I step out of the shower and I'm all wet and cold. Warm me up baby

Bloodninja: So you're still in the bathroom?

DirtyKate: Yeah, I'm wrapping a towel around myself.

Bloodninja: I can no longer resist the pizza. I open the box and unzip my pants with my other hand. As I penetrate the gooey cheese, I moan in ecstacy. The mushrooms and Italian sausage are rough, but the sauce is deliciously soothing. I blow my load in seconds. As you leave the bathroom, I exit through the front door....

DirtyKate: What the fuck?

DirtyKate: You perverted piece of shit

DirtyKate: Fuck

Bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They fucking charge your ass.

Bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.

Bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.

j_gurli13: thats it.

Bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.

Bloodninja: Fuck am I hard now.

You make us proud

2009-06-23T12:06:00.008+08:00

Was reading The Star Online this morning and I came across this article that I would like to share with everyone.

Mr. Ang Weai Leoong, former Chief Inspector promoted to acting Assistant Superintendent I would like to extend my congratulations and shot out loud:

YOU DO US PROUD!

The peoples' confidence towards the police force has been reinstated because of you and may God bless you always.

Robbers, rapists, drug dealers whoever you are, be scared.

BE VERY VERY SCARED.

Ang Weai Leoong

Acting Assistant Superintendent

PUTRAJAYA: Despite being shot twice, police officer Ang Weai Leoong refused medical aid until he had arrested members of an armed robbery syndicate.

And yesterday, for his courage and putting duty before self, the former Chief Inspector with the Kuala Lumpur special investigation unit was promoted to acting Assistant Superintendent by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

The 31-year-old father of two was shot twice in both his legs when leading six officers in a raid at a condominium in Sungai Long on Nov 5 last year to bust the Ah Tok Gang, a syndicate that specialised in robbing luxury cars in the Klang Valley.

“Even in such a critical situation, he was still able to stand up, with the will to continue his duty, to arrest two members of the gang,” Musa said at the award-presentation ceremony here yesterday.

Ang suffered from broken bones and was bleeding profusely and was taken for medical treatment at the Kajang Hospital, he added.

Musa said Ang and his team should be given due recognition for their sacrifice and commitment.

Ang, who is still on medical leave, said he was thankful and proud for the recognition. “Criminals these days are very different. They are willing to do anything to escape from the police,” he said.

“However, I will not give up but will continue to work hard to improve the image of the police force.”

Ang’s wife Lim Koon Teem, who accompanied him, said she knew about her husband’s occupation when they first met seven years ago.

“It is his love for the country that I admire.”

Recalling the morning when she first heard of Ang’s injury, Lim said: “I was very glad that it was him (Ang) and not any of his colleagues who called me up and told me about the injury.”

She said she was worried and sad after visiting her husband at the hospital.

“However, I did not dare shed tears in front of him because that would make him feel bad.

“I went to some corner of the hospital to cry,” she recalled, adding that she was very proud of her husband’s commitment.

Relive My Childhood

2009-06-16T16:56:00.007+08:00

As some of you already know, I actually spent almost 1K for this arcade gaming joystick just to relive my childhood once again.

Those who grew up in the 80's would be familar with the classic games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Dig Dug or the arcade games like Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Metal Slug etc.

Using this X-Arcade TankStick together with the Multiple Arcade Machine Simulator (MAME) I am able to play all sorts of games that I once played when I was young, minus the coin slots of course. *grin*

X-Arcade TankStick

I've lost count how much money I actually spent playing arcade machines back then. Not to mention all the Atari, Sega and Nintendo gaming machines that I onced was so obsessed with and played until the television actually died out on me.

I was once a guru in the Street Fighter II arcade game, and for those who are familar with the game will know exactly what the screenshots below means. *wink*

Street Fighter II

Super Sidekicks

Sonic The Hedgehog

Raiden

Puzzle Bobble

Metal Slug

Snow Brothers

Golden Axe

Double Dragon

Bubble Bobble

It is nice to rekindle some past experiences especially if those were interesting and fun, however playing alone is probably not as fun playing it with another friend.

So, if you want to relive your childhood again and you have my number then you know what to do! :)

Going Dutch On A Date

2009-06-15T19:41:00.006+08:00

As a gentleman I absolutely feel that one should always offer to pick up the tab during dating (even after marriage) and unless the other party insists on buying or else the bill stays with me.

I never believe in splitting or going dutch as I rather let the other party treat me a full set course if they really insist in paying. So its either I'm buying, or you.

Anyone who has went out with me or has dated me in the past should know whether am I telling the truth or not.

I came across this article from The Star Online and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Rethinking who should pick up the tab when on a date.

The last time I went out on a first date, I realised halfway through my pasta Arrabiata that I would probably never see my dinner companion again. Our values were not in synch and our lifestyles didn’t mesh. Some of his opinions were also a little badly timed. Like his statement that women wear makeup to mask some deep-rooted inferiority complex.

I mean to say, there I was, sitting opposite him, with my lashes mascara-ed, and my lips glossed and my cheeks slightly blushed, and he had the cheek to suggest that I lacked the confidence to let the world see me as I really am.

Who’s paying? When on a dinner date, it is more appropriate for the person who initiated the invitation to pick up the bill. After that, it’s probably best to share the bill.

What absolute tosh! At that moment, I felt confident enough to contemplate jabbing my fork into one of his opinionated eyeballs. But I chose not to act on my thoughts. Besides, the sight of blood spurting out of a vacant eye socket might just have put off my dinner, and I really was quite hungry.

For over an hour, I feigned interest in his opinions and tried not to let my own quickly formed opinions of him spoil my appetite. As I overdosed on carbs, I listened to him twittering on about the benefits of regular fasting. As I sipped a glass of Merlot, he talked about the evils of alcohol. I responded by ordering another glass. How’s that for being confident?

Later, when he asked if I would like to share a dessert with him, I declined. There’s something intimate about sharing a dessert with someone of the opposite sex that sends out a certain message. Maybe it’s the closeness of two people converging over a small plate. Maybe it’s the exchange of oral bacteria. Maybe it’s the seductive, simultaneous licking of spoons. Whatever, I wasn’t in the mood for food foreplay.

When he declined coffee, I called for the bill, with every intention of paying for it in full. However, when the waiter presented it to me a short while later, my date reached over and attempted to grab it from me.

“You must let me pay for it!” he said.

“No, I want to pay for it,” I said.

“You can get the next one,” he said.

“There isn’t going to be a next one,” I wanted to say, but didn’t.

“OK, let’s go Dutch,” I said instead.

“You remind me of my mother,” he said. “She always wants to pay.”

The fact that he saw his mother in me caused me to lose my grip on the bill.

After he’d paid, I thanked him, wished him good night, and sped off home for some good chocolate, makeup remover and to ponder the ‘who pays for what’ conundrum.

When I go out with a girlfriend, we usually go Dutch. There are no arguments, or hidden agendas, or hard feeling to contend with. The same should apply when I’m having a dinner with a date. The only exception being the first date.

On a first date, I think it’s more appropriate for the person who initiated the invitation to pick up the bill. After that, I think it’s best to go Dutch. Either that, or pay for every other date.

However, some of my girlfriends have different ideas as to who should pay on a date.

“If the guy is earning more money than you, it’s OK to let him pay for the bigger items,” said one friend. “For example, if he gets dinner, I’ll pay for things like the cinema and coffee.”

“I’m OK with going Dutch, but if my date wants to pay, I let him pay,” said another.

Of course, there are some women who think that the man should pay the bill, all the time. Men sometimes complain about such women, while continuing to date them. So it seems, they must be getting something else out of the relationship that compensates for them picking up the tab all the time.

I even read about one woman’s justification for never offering to pay for dinner. Before she goes out on a date, she usually has a manicure, pedicure, something done to her hair, and buys a new outfit and some new underwear (just in case). She might also take some time off work to achieve her desired level of attractiveness. All of which add up to more than the cost of an expensive dinner.

So, all you single guys out there, the next time you buy a girl lunch, you might just have paid for a new pair of knickers.

Maxis Broadband Sucks

2009-05-29T23:29:00.010+08:00

Well, the title says it all. Looks like Maxis outdid themselves again.

My dad signed up for a Maxis broadband last month and has been telling me how fast it is.

Apparently, he either has a fucking low standard or he's a total retard by comparing it to a dial-up. Either way, the Maxis broadband sucks.

And you thought that TM's StreamyX sucks enough, wait till you use the Maxis broadband and you'll know what I mean.

Sigh, its really depressing to see this kind of service level from Maxis. I wonder how do you guys sleep at night by providing such fucked up services and yet still have the balls to run roadshows everywhere promoting this shit?

Ananda Krishnan should be hanged for fucking up during the hiring process by getting a bunch of monkeys to run Maxis for him.

Maxis you are no different than cheaters. Stop cheating our money and taking it to India to fund your Aircel operations there.

I've been with you guys for 10 years and is this how you treat your customers? I hope you guys go bust, I'm switching operators for sure.

The Huawei GSM modem looks good though

The reported statistics here is horse shit

"RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A Saudi judge told a conference on domestic violence that a man has the right to slap his wife if she spends lavishly on such things as clothing, a Saudi newspaper reported, drawing criticism from rights activists in the conservative kingdom."

Are you Saudi men all fuck heads? What kind of man are you for beating up your wife? I am totally shocked when I read this in Yahoo! news this morning.

Just collected my allowances for the 2 days short trip to Jakarta, it has been sometime since the last time I set foot in this country.

I do miss Jakarta very much, the city is so vibrant and it never dies. Talk about food, its about time I need to sample some sop buntunt and bakmi noodles. Yummy!

Too bad its only a 2 days trip, or else I would have probably eat the city inside out.

Piece of advice:

Look for an underground money changer for better rates

Susu Kambing

2009-05-07T12:17:00.006+08:00

Out of the blue lately I've suddenly developed the cravings for some goat milk, and I was like literally walking around the office asking people whether do they know any place selling susu kambing for the past 2 week.

Too bad nobody knows any, and poor old me had to carry on miserably without any goat milk *sob*

One day my dear Sales Director Maisie walked in, looked at me and said:

Maisie: Chew Soon, I got your susu kambing and its on the 9th floor's refrigerator. Better go collect it before someone drinks it.

Me: *gasp* ZOMG! You're not pulling my leg aren't you? You really got my susu kambing??????

Before Maisie could even reply me, I was already on my way to the 9th floor office.

I come, I see and I conquer.

Tada!

(It says its the best known alternative to mother's milk)

Buahahahahahaha! One happy man :)
