Head Pump

Recently, I've discovered that my memory does has a limit, and I seem to have reached it. Not without some complications.

About 2 weeks ago, I was on my way to feed the guinea pig a few floors down with a carrot on my hand. As usual, I tried to phrase the situation in Russian

- Я несу в своих руках мер..мар..марковь и иду покормить ______ -


I have forgotten what a guinea pig(in this case I was trying to use the word rabbit) is in Russian. It was one of the easier words in my vocab. It was a total blank, not even a syllable to begin with.

Throughout the entire week, I decreased myself into using long-assed phrases but with no objects or subjects present

- Мне кажется так, что хотя это такой итак, ну, нормально...не знаю... -


Even just yesterday, while I was walking towards the university, I tried to remember my basic ОПХ .. what требование for which operation/procedure. BLANK !

I have replaced most memory space with too many new stuff, both important and unimportant ones. And involuntarily, have deleted a lot of the older stuff.

And at that very moment, for the very first time in my life, I contemplated and even tempted myself to look up for some memory enhancers. Herbal-Life popped up in my mind very suddenly(thanks to great advertising).

Ginkgo-biloba pills?

Brain enlargers?

Head Pump?

and at that very moment, very vulgar thoughts came into my mind which led me to this post.

p/s: im curious to see how many spam comments i can get from posts like this..I am a sitting duck, man..
Sell me pills !

Tom Tom Tom Ga Bacon Flavored Gai Soup

The Original

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless skinned chicken breasts
- 1 pint of chicken stock
- About 250 mls of coconut milk
- 8 birdseye chillis
- 2 stalks of lemongrass
- corriander(cilantro)
- A piece of ginger(galangal was what was needed but its hard to get a hold of here and everyone I asked looked at me as if i had just spat in their eye)
- The juice of a lime
- 4 tbsp of fish sauce

Slice the ginger up into really thin strips and cut the stalks off the chillis. Dice the chicken into bitesize cubes and then remove the outerleaves from the lemon grass until you get to the soft bit in the center. Now take a rolling pin or something heavy and batter the lemongrass and give the chillis a beating for good measure.

Step 1:
Place the stock in a pot and start to heat. While it is heating juice your lime.
When the stock is starting to get hot, put the lime juice, chillis, lemongrass, ginger and fish sauce in. And bring to the boil.

Step 2:
Once it starts to boil add the chicken and coconut milk, stir and bring it back to boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Keep stiring whilst doing this to avoid a skin forming. Remove the lemongrass.

Step 3:
Serve the Tom Kha Gai when ready and garnish with the corriander.

No lime - buy lemon

Chicken - any part will do

3) Once boiled, throw (2) inside pot
4) Once boiled put chicken, coconut milk(the more the better) and coriander powder inside pot

Bacon is chicken right? ...

Weird fact : Whitney Houston's "It's not right but it's ok" played a total of 3 times on my comp while I was cooking ...

It's not right
But it's o.k.
I'm gonna make it anyway...

thats the spirit !


If you would donate a camera, I would take pictures of my Bacon flavored chicken tom kha gai ...

Animals Don't Have It Easier

Do you remember story of Cinderella? 2 sisters who hate their younger sister because she is pretty and all?

Doesn't it remind you of how today's females are, albeit most suffer silently.

A bunch of normal looking(or fat) girls come together to poke fun at the hot PYT.

Now.

Imagine this, 2 friends living in a hostel room. In this case, 1 normal looking and 1 fat one. One day, a hot sassy thing was put in their room. If she had a tail it would pride itself like a peacock. She was already hot by normal standards, but when put beside Ms. Normal and Ms. Fat, she was Miss World and Universe combined!

Now, this is what naturally happens:
Normal would always try to get near the PYT. You put a toad beside a flower and somehow the toad will look better. Normal tries to befriend PYT. Well, she tries.

Fat hates PYT. She thing she so thin but when she jump, she got stuck. (ok, bad joke) .Fat would hit PYT in the face if she could. She would try to get Normal to herself as much as possible and not let her hang around PYT. Several nights a week, curse words fly down the hallway.

PYT hates her life, she is thin and pretty and she hates the entire world. She hate the person who put her in that room. She hates Normal. She especially hates Fat! Her momma must be so fat that when she jump, she got stuck! What the hell am I doing here with all these ugly girls. I want my own room with my own friends! Everything sucks! Thats what she'll say...

My friends(and whoever who is reading this)...
This is exactly what is happening in my room now, with 3 cats...
bubbles, feefee, and the new PYT - chacha

CRAZY

This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by


What I really need now, is another 20 years of innocence.

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry


The problems of this world began when 1 man stood up and said, I want to be greater, stronger, better.

Slept at 6 something this morning and woke up to Mr Exterminator aka Hostel Director to do some cockroach killing business at 11am. Went back to sleep and woke up at 2pm.

No roaches here though, just lots of flies... ate prawns 3 days straight, imagine the smell in the rubbish bin and the unwashed dishes.
The weather has been wonderful. Just need to unglue my butt to my new chair.

oh, you know, a simple screwing a screw to the wall is much more fun when done with a (waste of money) drill with the smallest drill bit.

Need new Shlang ! My shlang is too big for the shower head!

ahh, summertime



she's been gone since that summer...since that summer

MAO



Watch all of Simon's Cat's adventures !!!
my fav episode is the fly one... bubbles and feefee are doing the exact same thing now, wrecking everything in the room to catch a fly...

Motorola Aura

If there is one thing that the humankind cannot perceive, it is beauty in it's true form.

No. I'm not talking about a rose, the Grand Canyon, not even Paris Hilton.

Modernization has transformed the meaning of true beauty when she began incooperating functionality, reliability, accuracy, and sometimes, purpose into the basic definition of this enthusiastic expression of pleasure and refinement.

Every speck of authenticity is shat upon by adjectives which I personally feel have no bearing to what truly defines charm, value, elegance(?). In fact, each bit of authenticity is defined by it's own made. A world of it's own. A story which defies synopsis. There is no perfect syllable which can limit it's worth.

In the words of John Irving, through his character in A Prayer For Owen Meany, " You can't take a miracle and just show it,.. it didn't look like anything - it's not a picture anyone can even imagine! ".
I sometimes pity the fool who would rather go with logic, rather than to experience the ... unexperienceable.

So what if a US$ 2000 (RM 7000, 61,000 Rubles) phone doesn't have auto focus for it's 2MP camera.

Yes folks, I'm talking about the revolutionary Motorola AURA.



For the price of a motorcycle, 2 laptops computers, and enough food to feed the orphans for a year, it appears that the product has done no justice to the value of money. It is as if "money" was not logical when it came in contact with the AURA. Then again, what value can man put on objects which has no worth in comparison. With no 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi connection, it ranks among the average in the class of entry level mobile phones. No slots for memory cards and poor video quality, utter flatulence.

Too expensive, not worth it's price, has no true face value. Over-rated. It has no desire to be neither worth a value, nor to succumb to ratings. Like paintings of Da Vinci or the sculptures of Michelangelo, it is an expression, an execution, even an exaggeration of what it was supposed to be. Like how a painter saw the destiny of an empty canvas and how the sculptor is revealed to the stone's true form, Mr. Designer has predestined what it was to be, revered.

I doubt neither Da Vinci nor Michelangelo has ever lost sleep over how much paintings would be sold. People just don't seem to be able to comprehend.



If there was a perfect definition of the word perfection, it would probably be : Infinite, incalculable, profound unfathomable defiance of both logic AND imagination in the pursue of that something, which has not yet been created.

No, it's not about being the best among the best nor climbing the ladder to perfection. These are merely self-improvement jargons which ultimately place you with everything else which has no meaning. This is about being in the position where descriptions cannot describe you, nor does price tags have a value on you. This is not about how fast can your browser load or how cool the games are, after all, if "coolness" is your pursuit, get an iPhone.

This.

This is about holding, and beholding beauty's infallible form, and for a moment in your lifetime, you are lost for words.

You Are So Retarded !

Creatinism refers to hypothyroidism that develops in infancy or early childhood. The term cretin was derived from the French chrétien, meaning Christian or Christlike, and was applied to these unfortunates because they were considered to be so mentally retarded as to be incapable of sinning.
pg1168 Robins & Coltran Pathologic Basis of Diseases 7th Edition

I've wanted to post this for a long time now...
If anyway possible, I want to be retarded too..

The most common form of sin that you and I commit, are the ones with your full knowledge, full willingness, and full desire to commit.

Lets get retarded in here :D

Baseball @ 16

...On Sunday, the sophomore from Las Vegas found his way into national headlines again when his father announced that Bryce will forgo his final two years of high school and use a GED to enroll in a community college this August. Though it more or less makes a mockery of our education system, the Harpers' plan would make Bryce eligible for the 2010 draft, where he could conceivably be the Nationals' No. 1 pick and eventually join forces with Stephen Strasburg to save Washington baseball from itself....

...From my viewpoint, I'm not going to act like a truant officer on Harper's decision when viewed in a vacuum. It's quite clear that Harper has loads of talent, lives to play baseball and has been groomed to play professional baseball ever since he and his family realized that he was much better than everyone else. It's obvious he has that physical attributes to succeed and he'd be drafted in two years anyway, so why delay the inevitable? Is an 18-year-old really that much better equipped to handle the pressures of grand expectations than a 16-year-old? As much as people will want to say that Harper should stay in school like a normal kid, the truth is that whatever normal life he had disappeared the minute he showed up on the cover of a magazine at homes across the country
. ...
Full Story Here

So, a 16 year old talented baseball player will skip his final 2 years of school to enter college just so that he is eligible to be selected to be in the big leagues and in the Nats...

At first I was doing my "sophisticated" thinking thingy, I thought that all the skeptics who is against this is old-fashioned and should let loose a bit. Then just ever so suddenly, i became even more "sophisticated" when I started to think about that kid himself.

It is true that he has super cool talents and all, but 16 years old, going to a community college just to play baseball...

Of course he won't miss out on the science and maths that he might learn in his final 2 years in school, probably he'd be playing ball too much to be learning those things.

But 16 years old, dude... and you're worried about your future? I believe that this is the sort of person, when he becomes old, will go crazy and tell his grandchildren,"All i ever did was hit some balls, thats all they ever tell me to do. I'd be standing in the sun for hours just hitting 'em balls"

My current 5-minute theory in life is -
"Robots are created to do stuff, humans are created to experience stuff"

Feeling: Sleepy

Exams are over!!!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE EXAMS HAVE NOT STARTED?

God. This few days have been so relaxing and numbing, what exams?

The past 2 weeks I've slept about 3 days of it. Played 4 days of it. Studied 5 days of it. Day-dreamed 6 days of it..

wait, count back first, 3+4+5+6 = 18... 3+4+5=12.. hmm
erm
Day dreamed 2 days of it.

Oh - CATS Group BBQ

New Low

I have to depend on a 13 year old girl's blog entry to inspire me...
In my world:

Horses are weird
Sleeping in means 12 noon
Breakfast is leftovers from dinner last night
Piggy back rides are dangerous
Converse are the most comfiest shoes ever
Hello Kitty had surgery now she’s too girly
Animes are boring
Mangas are fun
Pocky is bland and tasteless
You can’t have too much Hello Panda Cookies
Elephants are adorable
Normal is overrated
Naruto is a dumb anime
Youtube is an awesome site
Milk will magically make you taller overnight
Pillows need to be treated like teddy bears
Short shorts are a must for summer (especially if you live in a desert)
Kogals need a life
Everything cute fluffy and soft need to be treated like they are alive (ie. teddy bears and stuffed animals




This is my take of it...

In My World.

Doing something means doing it blindfolded.
Food is an asset
Drinks doesn't mean Carlsberg(sometimes Klinskoye)
Water is Cola
Cola is life
Internet is that thing that beeps and you don't really need it
Waffles can be your best friend when its been 3 days since you've last slept
Cats are cuter than dogs(This is so gay)
Korn and Metallica for LIFE !(This is more like it)
I actually don't like their music though.
Classical guitars and acoustic guitars are NOT the same.
Russian language is learned in the market while buying potatoes.
Or onions.
Cars is a must in any kind of computer game.
Cars can fly and cows can talk.
Donkey's can talk, but you ain't seen a donkey fly !
Love, is but a word.
Astronomical amount of passion for the other person, ...

Benzaluk

Today Prof. Igor (something) Benzaluk said something very revolutionary.

Alcohol, is the enemy of all that is living


Dah lah Russians normally have a very limited command of English, Benzaluk had to send the ultimate bomb of modern day literature.

It is like, Saddam Hussein wants your mother to die, or or or , George Bush will make sure you don't have a future. What an effect that simple Russo-English phrase carried !

Do you know that if you were to drink a can of beer(Heneiken of course)(325ml), 4% of alcohol makes it 13ml of alcohol in it. 90%(which makes 11.7ml) of it goes straight into destroying your liver screw-you-i'm-the-boss style ... no negotiations.

then the other 10%(1.3ml) goes swimming in your blood stream looking for holes to climb into and goes into your brain, like that irritating kid next door who just wouldn't stop shouting. 

Anything that is alive, should come into contact with alcohol will be immediately killed on it's zone of contact. thrown a spider into a glass of whiskey and watch it melt. Laws of the universe, never heard of it, don't like it, don't approve of it, deny it or believe the opposite end : THE LAW STILL FUNCTIONS.

shit i need a beer(i mean coke)(i mean cocacola)

The Number Starts At 1,



but , It Doesn't Stop There...




One of the few kinds of adverts out there which speaks my language that I do...

Of course its very logical la that the paper industry chops down a billion trees a year to make our newspaper and magazines and colloq papers... everyone knows it. What caught my attention most was, instead of fighting for 1 cause (i.e. Women's Rights, Polar Ice Cap Melting, Use Hybrid Cars etc) - without thinking of how YOUR fighting for that cause ONLY, does to the rest of the world..

It doesn't stop at one .

I remember sometime ago in primary school, some teacher or somebody said that if 1 of your tooth fell out - nn_nnnn - ...the tooth from the opposite site will overgrow into that cavity ..
-nnunnnn - ... Kinda weird for a comparison but ?

It's very weird how people can indulge themselves into something and boost their ego so much to defend it and at the end of the day fake a pride and die with honor...

I love Malaysia.
Malaysia Boleh !

Nostalgia :) ..sorry sorry..i mean (:

It is so miraculous how time can change :) into (: ...

While I was sitting infront of the comp preparing what I was about to share, alot of nostalgic moments hit me. 
I missed times when I was back in school, where naivity is normal :)
Interact club meant so much to me ..to some people, QM was their life! or Leo Club !
Where CF commitee meetings would be highlights of the week. We'd mamak into the evening and then go home for a home cooked meal.

Studies were "ok-lar" important... but suddenly I don't recall many people whole did not study as much as "we" did...and got any poorer results (heh...) 

Football on saturday mornings were hawt ! No, it was not just about the game(which we don't normally keep score anyways) or about the people we played with(or against) ... it was more of like, just being there, a pack of moving clouds in the vast desert sky, where purpose and direction was not really important. What is important - that you're a pack of moving clouds in the vast desert sky. 
(to those who don't get me: Nothing is important...it's just ... it..?) 

Sub-youngmanhood, you think you've got it all, but you're just spending the family's fortune in Gold Class Cinema week after week.

There were to popular kids and the kids which the popular kids picked on, and the kids who wants to pick on them as well but not popular enough to induce any damage... Part time jobs and gengsterism. 

Sometimes I wonder what the teachers(especially HEMs) see when they look at a bunch of kids who think they are heading the right way into an unbreakable future. I mean, they must know that this whole, "school" thing, is just some sort of a pseudo-reality, a dimension which borders on the gates of the compound, a playground for those taller than 1.5m . So why the harsh punishment on gengsters and those who keep their nails?...
...I secretly believe that they send undergrad teachers to acting class in Kursus Cikgu or something...

Everybody wants to be responsible-less, care-less, and worry-less... hehe..

I remember when we were running PRS in form 2, I totally screwed up on an event or a big day or something like that...*DON"T KILL ME! PLEASE SAVE ME!" ... ... "huh..?"... the day passes without a hint of a problem. (:

I miss times when I can grab Ais Kacang and a Daging Special without worrying about how the government will react to the Bill on Internet Freedom.

(: (: (: (: (this will need some getting use to)

Bound But Yet Fee

I have broken my own records again.
3 months(almost) without depending on the internet to survive.

Funny thing is, I will die , not because the internet is my source of food, but because the internet will choose the people to give food to me. I can be on the brink of failing my exams and being hot on water for many many things, just because of my absence of internet.

Somebody said that Cold is not the presence of cold, but it is the absence of Heat.

It has seem that I am not in totality free and unbound from being conformed to use the internet, but I am simply in the land where there is the absence of it. Dry ground.

God willing, I'm killing my way out of this.
