Patriotism? Angst? Hate?

A thought to ponder,

Do you love your country enough to mention the disadvantages of it, or do you hate your country enough to mention the disadvantages of it?

Grand Theft Auto Saves Lives!!!

"She just knew, from playing 'Grand Theft Auto.' She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us"

Basically, this kid decides to save his parents from a turned over jeep because of a video game....
I say bullshit. You don't need a reason to rescue your parents from a turned over jeep....
We've seen many swords stabbing at how video games play a part in violence. It's good to see a positive comment about it... but this is an act of desperation.

Only thing I learnt from GTA, make your way with a prostitute, then kill her for your money back.

Sunburn Woes

When I got the sunburn, it has been a painful experience for the past 2 days.

Initially, I thought the worst that could happen would be that when I sleep, it'll hurt like hell.... then today, while preparing for classes... I realized that I can't carry my messenger bag on my shoulders as it felt like a strap of burning red charcoal pressing on my skin....

Well... another 3 days til the weekend......

Celebrating Merdeka via Canoeing

31st Aug, Sunday...
First and foremost, MEDEKA!!!


Lesson : Jimatlah Duit Untuk Benda Yang Berfaedah (Save money for a better purpose)
PS : I don't think this year's commercial has much impact unless it's sending a message indirectly saying "Stop spending tax money on corruption" to its projected audience.


And on this day, what did I do? Color myself in red by getting sunburn while canoeing...
Lesson : Always wear a sunblock whenever you're going out under the sun for more than 4 hours in the hot afternoon.

Nightmares and Fears

A few of you might've known that I've got this 'unique' fear. That's right, fear of fishes.

Though, you notice that I do eat fish and find that ironic. I think what scares me most is a fish's head. That doesn't leave out the abdominal portion of the fish as I tend to jitter at the sight of it.

My family members know, whenever we eat out at a chinese restaurant and order fish, I always shift the plate so that the fish's head points else where. But, the body of a FULLY cooked fish doesn't scare me much.

What about sushi? Yes, it's fish meat but you don't actually see anything that resembles the fish one bit. It's just a slab of meat much like your typical poultry meats.

So when and why did I develop this fear? I can only think of three reasons period.
1) I used to eat fish eyes. Yes, use my lil 5 year old fingers and dig out their eyes and suck em til all that's left is the middle core.

2)I tend to play with fish alot and brought them out of water. Seeing them flip helplessly. Pity could've turned into fear.....

3)I'm just too lazy to clean up aquariums and handle fishes so I came up with an excuse but turned to reality....

Streamyx TMnut compared to the states.

As consumers, we can't help but compare one product to another similar product. In this case, I'm taking our very own monopolizing, money grabbing TMnut's Screamyx.

Right, from the picture above dated 25th August 2008, I'd like to draw attention to the 4mbps package. RM268 per month. That's about USD 80 a month. I've done some digging around, and found that the MAX a consumer had to pay per month for internet (8MBPS twice the speed of what TMnut offers) is about USD 60 a month.

Now don't we Malaysians feel even more screwed over?

Discrimination, Racism, and Facts?

What determines if a person is a racist/discriminates?
Take this example,
When I play dota. After countless games, I've come to a conclusion that 99.9% of players from China are leavers. This isn't a fact I'm making up to discriminate China, it's a fact that they've shown and proven to me. Yet, I've been called racist by some because I do not have proof of it. My argument is based upon my own experience with no official records.


So am I discriminating/ being racist or just laying out the facts?
