Ashton Kutcher's Halloween Treat

Happy Halloween from Ashton Kutcher and Katalyst

If you like MTV's Punk'd, then must watch lah. Even if you don't watch Punk'd also must check this out. Cool weh. Hehe.

Happy Birthday

Happy 20th Birthday to Kian Hin!

Happy man, eh? Thanks for sharing with us your laughter all these while =)

No pranks this time. Lol.

Man, I'm gonna get PES 2009!

Officially licensed by UEFA, and the graphics look nice too! Gonna boycott EA's FIFA 09 for not improving the PC version of the game.

Okayyyy...

Manager : I'll drop you in the next match!

Today, I disappeared into oblivion on the left wing. I sucked. I want nothing else other than my stamina back. And what the heck, I was having some toe problem that I didn't have before this. I couldn't even run or cross or shoot the ball properly.

Chinese Democracy coming out?

It is said that Guns n Roses' Chinese Democracy is finally coming out in November (the date given on their official site is the 23rd of Nov) after spending more than a decade (14 years, to be exact) in production. Could it be true this time round? Even certain radio stations in The US are playing one of the songs already. I'm not being sceptical about the release, but I hope it really happens this time, and the album had better match the anticipation that comes with it.

Here's a sample clip from one of the songs:

Ibanez JS20S

Joe Satriani signature guitar. I must say I'm very impressed. Everything follows the specs of JS' guitar, with the album art of Surfing with the Alien as the guitar art. NO, it's never stated that after you get the guitar, you will play exactly like Joe Satch.

Not the kind of guitar that I will buy... Yet. I want an acoustic guitar and a Les Paul!

Manchester United 4 West Brom 0

I think I missed a lot of action for not watching the Man Utd - West Brom game. Manchester United didn't miss out on the fun, just like the rest of the top guns of the Premier League, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Each of them won their respective games by scoring at least 3 goals past their opponents.

Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and Nani turned on their style and gave West Brom one heck of a bashing.

Rooney is totally unstoppable and has scored in all his past five games.
You can try stopping this lad, but you know you CAN'T.
Dimi - first Premier League goal for United.

Insomnia

I hate it when this happens. I know I have to wake up early in the morning. I AM sleepy (since 11 o' clock, now still feeling sleepy), which is a good thing. But when I went to bed and tried to sleep, I ended up lying down like a sucker for more than two hours and still wide awake. Random thoughts started to run in my mind, as if my brain is a football field, making me sleepless the entire night. Someone please spare me the agony.

And suddenly I remember that there's cough syrup downstairs. It's like I got help from the Man Himself. A replacement for sleeping pills, anyone?

1994

Probably the year that many people would wanna forget. The year that we lost some great men, tragically.

Kurt Cobain.
Rock legend. Died of a gunshot wound to the back of his head. He was only 27 back then.

San Marino GP - the saddest weekend in the history of Grand Prix racing.
Roland Ratzenberger:He was so desperate to race in F1, and finally his wish was fulfilled in '94.Sadly, he only started and finished one race. He didn't qualify for the first race of the season, finished 11th in the second race, but passed away after a crash during the qualifying session at Imola.

Ayrton Senna:
Probably one of the greatest drivers to have driven an F1 car.3 championship titles under his name, and probably more to come.
Until an accident ended his career and his life abruptly, and changed the sport entirely.

Rubens Barrichello - miraculous survival:
It was a horrible crash during practice. And somehow he managed to survive, which is a miracle. But the memory of Imola '94 will never stop haunting him.

Andrés Escobar.One of the most respected Colombian footballers.
His last goal in football: an own goal which he didn't deserve, and knocked Colombia out of the 1994 World Cup. Ten days later, he was shot dead, as a "punishment" for that own goal.

I love neo-classical metal

Man... look at all his guitars!

Yeah, it's about time!

Bloody @#$%#*$!! Haha! Decipher that. Must be the fever. Damaged my brain. Anyway, it's time for updates! Haven't been doing that for so long.

Birthday celebrations! Happy birthdays!
Gavin turned 19! Still young.
Jason turned 20! Welcome to the gang. Haha. And he came back to Ipoh for the first time since he started his course in July, we went out a couple of times during the week, but I didn't take good care of myself and fell sick.

It was Zhu Whee's birthday also on Saturday. I forgot to bring my camera along. Lol. Was rushing the other day. Hope you enjoyed the day. =)

Operations!
Addie underwent an op to remove some screws, while Chun Fai had his ligament fixed. Visited Chun Fai at his home last Wednesday. No photos though.

Sports!

Played futsal for the first time since June last Saturday, with Jo Ee and some former schoolmates. Played badminton with Y-Han for the first time in years, along with Khor and Vee-Shin, last Tuesday.

Movies!
Wall-E. Watched it with guys. Wow, that's so action-packed! (Not)
Eagle Eye. Not this year's best show, but it was okay.

Games!
Currently addicted to:
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion!Championship Manager 2008. A bit too late to own the game, but it's never too late to have fun!
Crysis Warhead! But the computer failed me. I completed the first level, but couldn't load the second one.

Music!
Trash metal all the way! Although Metallica's new album is officially out, I've been listening to the old albums instead. Now I own the entire discography of Megadeth also! Sweet.

Random.

Passed my Pre-contract Exam for Insurance Agents. But I'm still jobless. You should be ashamed of yourself, Jeune! What a lazy arse!

Update completed. Now your computer will self-destruct. Stay on this page for another 5 seconds and you will self-destruct too.

I think I'm a sceptic too

I've been observing him for awhile. He looks normal, acts normal, but I can sense something different about him. He's never been so open when it comes to sharing his views about relationships. I've known him long enough (in fact, we are so similar in so many ways, people go as far as to claim that we are the same person) to know that he's pretty much a reserved person when it comes to things like this.

One day we were having a conversation and somehow that topic (about relationships) was mentioned. We had some exchanging of views there, and he sounded as if he has lost hope on girls/women/the opposite sex. So, I tried to find out more about what's going on. While he insisted that he's still attracted to ladies (especially the pretty ones. I believe that's true, lol), he told me that relationships are not meant for him. I jokingly said, "You must be crazy! You're only twenty and it's not like you have many relationships before this. You should get your brain checked. Hahaha..." He wasn't amused with that statement, seriously, by the looks of his face. But he responded calmly by asking me what couples usually do.

(J - me, S - the guy)
J : Well, they spend a lotta time together. Talking. Watch movies, go shopping, buy each other lunch, do what each other likes to do. SMS each other, see each other on MSN and have a video chat. Argue sometimes? (Yes, a mediocre answer it is, because I don't really know what they do.)
S : Talking, eh? About what?
J : Hmmm... I don't know 'coz I haven't been in one. From what I see it's something like "How's your day?", "I miss you.", "I miss you more.", "I feel terrible today.", "Cheer up okay.", "I love you, and I know you're gonna say you love me even more."?
S : So, do you say those to your friends or best friends or family members?
J : Yeah, sometimes... but most of the time it's a "Hell no!"
S : That's the point. I know you'd never say those to me, you bugger. It's like the status of being friends with the girl has totally diminished once you're in a relationship, only for that status to be replaced by something that surpasses your relationship with your family and friends.

The last sentence really struck me. I think he got a point there, although I don't fully understand it. I know this guy is never a conformist, but he still compromises his beliefs at times if he had to, so he can learn something out of it. When it comes to relationships, he's unusually sceptical though. He's not afraid to commit to anything, but he has doubts about how long a relationship will last if he gets into one.


One thing he brought up was about compatibility (not the Windows XP/Vista/Mac compatibility issues okay...). It's hardly possible to find someone that suits us perfectly. But the searching has to begin somewhere. Let's say we apply the "opposites attract rule". He doesn't talk much and doesn't reveal too much about himself unless he's really comfortable with people. Find him someone talkative. Bad idea. He thinks they are annoying.

And he's not the kind of guy who will take the initiative to approach people, which explains why he doesn't know many girls. Get him somebody more outgoing. He thinks outgoing girls won't go for a nobody and they are troublesome.

He likes music a lot and loves sports. Find a girl who shares the same interests. He says it's hard to find girls like that, without even trying.

Okay, fine. I asked him to go and become a:

Priest. We need some handsome and young priests in the church. Haha. Of course that's not him. He laughed at the idea, and joked, "Why not? The priesthood could use a Father who plays trash metal!"

He later added that he would like to be in a relationship, it's just that there are so many imperfections that bugs him. He doesn't like somebody watching him all day, he wants a lot of freedom - to do anything he wants to do, see anybody he feels like seeing. If he's able to set those things aside, probably he'd be in one already. God bless him. And bless me too, for after all those talking, I think I became confused about all these relationship stuff also. Singlehood is cool enough for me.

"Much to learn, you've got, young Padawans."

Who "S" is? Not gonna tell due to privacy concerns and he wish to remain anonymous, but I think you know this guy very well.

Took my medicine more than two hours ago, but spent the last one and a half hours rolling on my bed. I need a stronger dose of polaramine. Or maybe a couple of sleeping pills will do the job.

**Polaramine (Generic name: dexchlorpheniramine.) - a type of antihistamine.
Side effects:
* sleepiness, fatigue, or dizziness;
* headache;
* dry mouth; or
* difficulty urinating or an enlarged prostate (What the heck??!!)

It helps to find out facts about medicine. It makes me sleepy.

Actually I've got something to blog about, but I'll leave it for another day. Procrastination is NOT the thief of time when you have 15 months of holidays. Even retirees are not as free as I am.

Updates coming soon, have been busy doing something, although that something might be nothing. Lol.

Could be a good thing, or a bad thing.

Love is pliant, love is blind.

Unlike its assumed nature of being patient and kind.
