Anyone watched Conan O' Brien?
He's supposedly the funniest person on earth.

">

After watching countless videos, sketches monologues whatsoever, and this video. I've come up with one conclusion. Americans have a very bad sense of humour.

The man's simply not funny. Compared to other talk show hosts, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, even Jay Leno! That's what you call funny. I tried watching many videos again and again. I thought that maybe my sense of humour was off. Maybe try a smile or two. But I guessed that I don't have to worry whether my sense of humour is off.

My friends agree that he's simply not funny. Even Jay, whom Americans call not funny, can make me laugh, but spare the times when his jokes aren't funny. Sure, maybe how things handled weren't right.



This video is a prime example.

It's not funny! It's sick, it's crude, it's disgusting. But not funny.

This is real humour...



So Coco fans, pleases check your humour. It really needs a fix. I just feel angry that you're blaming Jay Leno when it's clearly NBC's fault.

Census: How many people live in your house?
My Aunt: 5.
Census: Okay. (Walks off)

Like that only ar?????
Never ask for income? Status? Nothing????
Not even what TV brand we use????

What the hell, man!!!!

This is not just a waste of money and a disgrace to civil servants in terms of work ethics. You're gonna use this bogus information for implementing future plans for the next 8 or 9 years???

No wonder the statistics weren't right for the percentage who wanted PPSMI abolished.

Welcome to Malaysia.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 8% for the movie.


Serves you right for not casting Asian actors! Hah! I bet Asian actors can put a much better show than having Whites in it.

It's insulting to know that M. Night Shyamalan decided to cast Whites in Asian characters. All this while I've chosen to remain silent about it but after seeing how much money the movie is making it seems like a big disgrace. All this money they're making shows that it's okay to discriminate Asians. I just dread to know that because of that they're planning to make a money spinning franchise out of it.

Watching the original TV series was so good because they had a show which had Asians as heroes. Not many Asian kids get shows like that to watch and relate to. Now we get this mess.

It would have been a crime to cast whites and blackface them as blacks. But from this movie I guess that yellowfacing whites as Asians doesn't seem wrong.

There are so many talented Asian actors who are fluent in English. Why couldn't they cast them?

It just feels such a shame that race discrimination is still happening today. But then again, it always has, right? Even in Malaysia, sadly.

I know that it's long overdue but...

I'm officially done with A-Levels!!! =D

No more F=ma.
No more Implicit Differentiation.
No more Kreb's Cycle.
No more Integration.
No more Free Radical Substitution mechanisms to remember.
No more studies for now.


But there're things I miss too.

No more Sen Yang and Philip stealing whatever I cook.
No more CS til 3 or 4 in the morning.
No more Pan Mee in Hing Ann.
No more quick trips to Mid Valley for simple things like grocery shopping or simply eating lunch.
No more people I heart in MCKL [You know who you are ;)]

Sure, MCKL had its shitty moments, but face it. Does anywhere else not have shit?

You might complain that its too strict when it comes to dressing. But to all you aspiring doctors, if you think that the dress code is an outrage, what about medical school? Medical school means no long hair for guys, no shorts, no dyeing hair. So this housemate of mine... I'm sorry to say but if you're going to continue being irresponsible(not washing your plates and CLEANING THE SINK), how're you going to be responsible enough to be a doctor?

You might complain that the teachers are lousy and that Taylors have all the good teachers. But then again.. Is there such a place that has only good lecturers? Because tell me. I would really want to go to that university. I have a friend who used to go to Taylors and she complained about her own teachers and wished that she was in MCKL. So where to go????

Despite all this, good or bad, it will always be part of us. We can choose to sulk about it. Or we can look at it and take it into good spirits and look forward to what's next.

Life is short. It's kinda scary when someone from your college has just passed away. Not to mention how small my college is (can proudly say there's not even a thousand). Who is she? She's Jacinth Wee(Rachel Ling's housemate).

I might not know her nor seen her before (because I don't really know my juniours. Too many of them), but it's sad to see people like her go when it's not that fault. Don't you think that it's pretty scary that it might one day happen to you?

Just a thought.

Imagine how much pain her sister in UK is going through. Even worse. The surviving family members. Honestly speaking I would rather die than to survive and be left alone. It's just so sad when you get something you don't deserve.

And it's all because of a reckless and careless truck driver.

I wish that I had known you. I heard good things about you =)

Well, maybe we can.

One day.

In Our Father's Place.

God bless your soul.

Lately, or more like all the time, people always talk about the distribution of PSD scholarships and the grading system for SPM. What this guy by the name of Alex from Miri wrote is something I fully with. I'm not sure if he used to live in my apartment (which will mean that he's an MCKL guy) but I just feel so disgusted when some people I know get or don't get the scholarship. It's about time someone writes something like this. No offense, but I think that the Government has no idea how to grade students. The supposed A+ system has failed. It has not raised the standard of SPM, but made it worse. People seem to be getting A+s like A1s before that. A lot of people I know do fairly average in school exams. But when it comes to SPM, they score a string of As thanks to the ineffective grading system. Some do well. Some do not. Those who don't end up retaking a year, or sent somewhere else of lower standard so that they can pass. What a waste of taxpayers money! Not to mention what a f***ing disgrace they are. Do they not know how much taxpayers money that they are wasting? A lot of people I know who do well in school doesn't mean that they can do well in their tertiary education. It's a completely different environment. I know a few who did amazingly well for SPM, but once they did A Levels getting an A for just one subject seems like a chore. Sadly, this does happen, though not very often, for JPA scholars. I'm not a bright student. I might not have the right to criticize high achievers. However, it makes me so angry that one day I'll be paying taxes and eventually funding people like these to further their studies. In Nottingham University, Chong Ren told me that the minimum average to maintain the High Achievers Scholarship given by the university is 65%. However, JPA scholars only need to maintain an average of 45%. That's not as bad. For those who study abroad, scholars who fail do not have their scholarships revoked. Instead, they are allowed a second chance by retaking.

Wake up Malaysia!!!

The way forward is to revoke their scholarships so that we can move forward and fund people who truly deserve it. We are suffering from inflation in Malaysia and might soon end up as a country that is bankrupt.

Another thing that bothers me is the distribution of scholarships to study in private colleges. Has the government themselves lost faith in the public universities? They money they spend overseas will benefit the world and not us. Whereas the money spent on private colleges will hardly benefit the country as many go abroad to make a better living. If only the Government had spent money on public universities instead of wasting it on nonsensical and petty things like this, I'm sure that the standard of public universities will be much higher now than their current state.

What a disgrace. You politicians think that we're better than America. But you're both about the same.

Sorry.... What I wrote was supposed to be for another post. Not that I editted out something.

Decisions. They're always such a bother. One wrong decision and you're done for. Pretty soon I'll have to make decisions soon. Probably now too. Medicine or dentistry? To twin or not to twin? Should I take his/her advice on anything? Is it the right time to get a girlfriend?

Just an example of decisions that has the potential to change your life.

After A levels, I have to decide. Sometimes I'm just scared that I'll make decisions that I'll regret for the rest of my life.

It's no longer the times when we could take up Accounts for SPM, don't do well and it's okay.

I've seen people make decisions and end up regretting over their wrong choices.

Help.

Oversupply Of Doctors Soon... VERY soon

I remember back in school not many of my classmates wanted to do medicine. In fact, you could easily count the number of boys in my class who wanted to be doctors with your two hands.

Well that certainly changed when I stepped foot in MCKL. It's as if everyone doing science wants to be a doctor. True, there are a lot of brilliant kids. Fine. They can definitely do it. But what about the so-so ones or the downright bad?

There's this guy, an aspiring doctor, whom I know who suddenly asked me,"How to calculate the number of moles ar?" What the hell???? Even an Indonesian maid can do that! I know some of you reading this might say,"Bloody f***tard with a f***ing big ego."

Maybe I have. Maybe I don't. However it just annoys me when someone says that they want to be doctors. And it's the one who has no clue what osmosis is. My point is that medicine is not an easy thing. You either have the brains for it or you don't. It annoys me even more when they've already know what they want to specialize in. Someone in my class apparently already knows that he wants to be a neurologist. Well, God bless you. My dad told me that it's one of the hardest fields in medicine. Trying to determine which receptor is causing what. Which drug can stimulate a certain receptor without stimulating the other. And he failed his AS. So my question to this guy is,"How are you going to survive med school when you can't even do A-levels? Skipping classes doesn't show that you have the commitment for becoming a doctor."

I'm not saying all this in the name of selfish reasons whatsoever. I'm also not saying that because I come from some hierarchy where all the men in my family are doctors. I'm just annoyed that people want to be doctors even though it clearly shows that your results simply suck and you don't have the personality to be one. You suck.

Parents. YES!!! Parents!! You are to be blamed too!!!! You want your children to be doctors even though they might not agree to it. But no... You want to brag to other parents how awesome your child is. A doctor from some random Indonesian university. Now that's more respectable than some kid who studied Philosophy and History in Cambridge. In the eyes of some parents the answer is,"Yes! You stupid kid. Study History." They just failed to look at the fact that the poor chap studied in CAMBRIDGE. I'm not saying all are. I can proudly tell you that my parents let me be whatever I want.

Like my dad told me,"You can do the country a good thing by not becoming a doctor."

With what I said you might think that it's everyone's fault that they want to be doctors. But the Government is just at fault or even more screwed up. We might have a shortage of doctors now. However if you just keep churning out more and more doctors you end up with an overflow of doctors. You can't train a doctor overnight, you know. One day we'll probably end up like India or Indonesia.


"At the rate we are producing medical graduates, it will not be long before my experience in Jakarta becomes the norm here. In Jakarta, I was in a cab and the cab driver is a medical doctor. When asked why, he said, "Too many doctors, not enough jobs."

-From some random post I found online and I fully agree from this statement.

Malaysian student cleared of sexual assault in Wales

"...Izzarul stopped to chat with Davies and her friend while out jogging in the park. She accused Izzarul of touching her breast and putting his hand up her skirt, allegations that he had denied... Izzarul said: "I was in a daze when the jury declared the verdict. I was not listening. My translator said bagus, bagus (good, good) and then I realised I had been acquitted."

The Malay Mail

Let's read it again.

"...Izzarul said: "I was in a daze when the jury declared the verdict. I was not listening. My translator said bagus, bagus (good, good) and then I realised I had been acquitted."

Again...

"...My translator said bagus, bagus (good, good) and then I realised I had been acquitted..."

My gosh, how terrible his English is. And he is a 2nd year student in Wales!!! W-A-L-E-S... WALES!!!! You never pay attention in class ar???

Mr. Prime Minister.. Could you please consider on your switch for teaching Science and Math in English?

All good things must come to an end.

Face it. A levels is almost over. It's a fact. I've never regretted a single moment in MCKL. Friends, the college, CF (only until Steven stepped down), everything. I know some will definitely disagree with me (isn't it, Joyce?) I can say it was fun. Sen Yang, Tristan, Brians, Wei Ren, Leng-Lei, Ming Hui, Joyce, Chng Hoay, Ithrana, Philip, Charles, Vincents, Wei Han, Eng Hoe, Mei Cheen, Anishkha, the list goes on and on. I don't think that I would have enjoyed my A-levels if I had gone to Taylors or HELP. I wish those 16 months would pass slowly but no matter what, the 16 months are going to end anyway. And time flies when you're having fun. So to all. Thank you. My life has never been so much more colourful without all of you. Hopefully we can meet up real soon before most of you guys go off to UK.

Time to study. A2's gonna be a hell lot harder than AS. Ciao.
Will blog again after exams

Here am I. Sitting in the mamak shop below my apartment. Why do you ask? When I have A2 in just 3 weeks?

The answer is elementary, my dear friend.
It's because TNB didn't receive any payment for March. So they fucking cut the power supply!!!! Holy shit!

And now they're taking their bloody sweet time to fix it back after the slip up.
What the hell, man!! I've got to study.

A Brief Update (Just like those you'll find on Twitter):
Went out with the Brians and Wei Ren to watch Kick-Ass on Monday. It's pretty awesome because it's not your regular movie-based-of-a-comic-book movie. That makes it even greater. And the most amazing thing happened. Went back to my apartment. Realized that I left my student card in the cinema. But where? Slept and went back to Mid Valley after 4 hours to look for it, and voila! It's there! My student card was still in the cinema hall!

God's grace.

Another update:
Fusball table in college is now RM1 for 5 balls!! Woohoo!

When Sore Losers Lose

"[With] Eleven men [we had] no problem, but the young boy [Rafael] showed a bit of inexperience but they [Bayern] got him sent off, everyone sprinting towards the referee, typical Germans."
-Sir Alex Ferguson

How German can you get when it was Ivica Olic (Croatian), Bastian Schwensteiger (German), Mark van Bommel (Dutch) and Franck Ribery (French) that confronted the referee? At most 1/4? Typical Fergie.

"It is hard to understand the press. Someone told me that coming back from the Champions League final in Rome last year they were all delighted on the press bus that we lost. They were absolutely pleased that we lost; the English press. The person who told me was disgusted. That is a fact. He had no reason to lie to me. Our performance on Wednesday was fantastic. At 3-0 it could have been 5-0. We were magnificent. Absolutely magnificent. But that gets lost just because people want a headline out of what I said about the Germans. That is disgusting because the players deserved some praise."
-Sir Alex Ferguson again

Not that we can do anything about him so that he changes. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, you know.

Everyday this doubt in my life grows.
What am I going to after I finish whatever I want to do.
At first I thought that I knew what to do.
Now I don't.
All thanks to all these so called "unavoidable circumstances".
I guess the one above has been dropping hints everywhere before hurling bolts into what mattered the most.









Everything I asked for. Never answered....

Except something. You actually gave it to me. Even though it was something I had low hopes on because everything else seems to have failed. I've never been so happier in my life. But it seems that I might have to part with it soon.

Please don't take it away from me.

Happy Easter

MUAR: Fifty members from Muar PKR division have resigned and joined Umno.

Muar PKR Youth vice-chief Razali Jaafar, who represented the members, handed over their Umno membership forms to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin here yesterday.

The handover took place in Kampung Parit Tengah after an event which saw 1,500 trays of nasi ambang – rice for four people eaten from a tray – being served to the villagers.

The feat got them into the Malaysia Book of Records.








WELCOME TO MALAYSIA

It's taken me some time, but I guess no matter how hard I try, it's never going to work. I try to not blame you but this time I don't think that I can not blame you. People tell me not to blame you, but I see no point in believing them. I put my all in whatever I do. I really did. So shouldn't I get my due instead of other people.

It puzzles me a lot. It really does. People say how badly they think their work will turn out but in the end, it turns out really, really good. Really good. Excellent! Amazing! I doubt they even worked their ass off during that one month break. I did. But looked what happened? The wrong people got their dues! It's so mind boggling that people are given credit for what they've barely done. I thought that I'll do badly. I really thought I did. But I didn't think it'll be this bad.

What the hell?

I know that you'll carry me through. I really do. Sometimes the most logical reason is to abandon you. But I'm not going to. I still have my confidence in you that you'll carry me through. So tell me, are you?

I know that the answer is that you will. Just as you said.

Whatever happens, it's up to you.

You call the shots.

I'm getting a new housemate.
And my sister is comming here this Sunday.

That's it for my short, short update.

Guilt creeps in my life.
No matter how hard I try.
It's never good enough.
And I have to let someone suffer because of my shortcomings.

I mean, let her celebrate her joy. Go. Why worry about me? I'm not worth all the pitying. Why persecute the one that who has brought joy just because the other has brought sorrow. Is it worth feeling any grieve if there is any joy?

Is joy only worth celebrating because it only comes from a certain person and not another? I loathe it. It's despicable. You let me down. You really do.

Reading Foo Mun's blog made me remind me of the 10 things I miss about home. Maybe more. Maybe less. They're not in order.

1. Mum driving me around
I actually liked being ferried around by my mum. When I could drive, I was glad that I could drive. But all the waiting, the time taken to be ferried. It felt like gaining something and then giving something up in exchange. Sure, my mum felt relieved of not ferrying me around. But still, I'll always cherish those times.

2. Volleyball
Dang, I miss volleyball. I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I miss those Sunday evenings. I admit that I sucked at it, but at least I can now pass the ball, and most importantly spike! I can actually spike now haha. To be honest, my hands still feel itchy. Especially now that there's no more volleyball in college.

3. Mr Oon
I miss his classes. You'll never meet a teacher like him. All his "Fuck you" and "Government say too hard" quotes just makes him so entertaining. There was no such thing as a boring class under him. Everyone'll be so amused by his dirty jokes (which I copy from, yup, mine's very much recycled)and how we makes fun of the government and the school principal. Wish that he was my Physics or Maths teacher here in KL. Mr. Oon. You rock!

4. 5Sc1
I miss my class as a whole, actually. Miss the times when we played basketball in our little space, exceeding our PJ time and skipping Add Maths altogether. Good times. Good times.

5. Home
Yes, I miss home. Food, books, computer, the list is endless. I miss my home. I miss waking up from my bed at 7 or 8, go up the hills, then study. Miss that life because its so different in KL now. Sure, I like KL. But the quietness is gone.

6. Cycling around Lake Gardens
A form of exercise, but I miss it.

7. LIE classes
As much as I loved/hated Lit, it wasn't that bad after all. Classes were fun with Mr. Chan, though you wouldn't expect something like Mr. Oon, it was one of the subjects I found worth taking. Yup, it was the good old days when the guys and girls didn't really mix with each other. Although we were 16/17, something Mr. Chan found rather unammusing haha. Song, Ee Lin, Ying Ning, Dharshini, Jivitha, Ly Lyn, I wish that we could have known each other better from LIE but I hope that we'll get to know each other better next time.

8. BK
BK(not to be confused with Burger King, I'm talking about Bible Knowledge) was good. I wish the friends there, the classes especially. Been a while since I met anyone from that class, besides bumping into Sophia at Central. It was great. A very good subject to take. Something I don't regret. Seriously.

9. My radio
Yup. I miss it. But not that much now.

10. Taiping itself
Taiping is a much better place to live in than KL, eventhough I like KL. Taiping still wins flat. 'Nuff said.
