now, whenever someone or some product
labels themselves #1 in something,
more often that not, it does not turn out to be true.
but once a group labels themselves
"the #1 most popular r&b group on youtube",
obviously i had to check it out.
and boy oh boy, do i agree with that label.

wallet observation of the day.
here's the thing about wanting to shop;
you start seeing flaws in the things you already have,
regardless of whether it's still in good shape or not.

reminder of the day.
to whom it may concern;
leaving hundreds and hundreds of 'friendly reminders'
does NOT make it any less annoying to read ok?

but what if it's orange?
let's face it, everyone likes to have direction in their life.
some people seek advice from others,
some people turn to religion and horoscopes,
and some might do the simple thing and google it.
mine, however, sometimes come from a traffic light.
that's right, a nice, simple traffic light down my road.
in the mornings when i am debating a decision or choice,
i go and consult my little colourful branch of wisdom.
so all i do is ask myself a question, drive towards it,
if i manage to pass the traffic light while it's green,
then it's a yes. otherwise if it goes red, then it's a no.
see? decision making can be as simple as that.

#3 u can't touch this by mc hammer;
"...u can't touch this, u can't touch this,
u can't touch this, yeah, u can't touch this,
u can't touch this, yeah, u can't touch this,
i told you, u can't touch this, too hype,
can't touch this, get way outta here,
u can't touch this..."
ok, first of all, touch WHAT?
secondly, we get it maaan, we can't touch it.
and finally, don't you think we don't even WANT to?
for pete's sake.
breep breep!
have any of you ever wondered that the great,
big irony of worldwide connectivity we have nowadays
is the very same thing that keeps us disconnected with real life?
just wondering.

saw an ad earlier today about 4G lite.
it pretty much means they offer you
a much faster connection as compared to 3G.
so it's been labeled as 4G.
...only it ISN'T, since it's 4G lite.
which means it isn't 3G but isn't exactly 4G either.
which makes no sense to me because why offer something
which doesn't give you what it is intended to in the first place?
it's like diet coke. or anything labeled as "light".
i think that concept would work fine as an employer.
round up your underpaid employees,
and tell them to do lotsa work, but label it 'light work'.
then offer them 'light salaries' and 'light job satisfaction'
and 'light compensation' and 'light recognition'
and 'light work-life balance' and...
i'd better stop here. let's call this a 'light rant', shall we?

#2 i want it that way from the backstreet boys
"...ain't nothin but a heartache,
ain't nothin but a mistake,
i never wanna hear you say,
i want it that way..."
so, when the backstreet boys tell us
that they don't want it that way,
what WAY are they actually talking about?
maybe it's north.

now, one of my new favourite pastime is to find
lyrics to rather famous and catchy songs,
but actually makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
please welcome Songs That Make No Sense!
example #1; wannabe by the spice girls;
"...yo i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want,
so tell me what you want, what you really really want,
i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want,
so tell me what you want, what you really really want,
i wanna, i wanna, i wanna, i wanna,
i wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha..."
so they've managed to tell you what they really really want
OR what we really really really want from them,
only to find out noone knows what EITHER of us wants.
brilliant.

i find that one of the best things to ask
really old people in an elevator
particularly on a monday morning is;
"...so, who let the dogs out?..."
trust me. the response you get is priceless.

a good kinda bad.
if you somehow find yourself having a better time at work
as compared to having a better time at home,
then that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
...it isn't bad. it's just sad.

(basic) life fact of the day
here's a basic life fact of the day;
as you go along in life, your quality of life should improve.
maybe not in a major way, but it has to improve nonetheless.
you ought to have the capacity for a better life as you move along.
now, if you DON'T, then you have to take a step back,
take long, deep breaths and try to clear your mind,
take a long, hard look at things with you, and consider this;
if your quality of life becomes WORSE the more you go on,
then either there is something wrong with YOU,
or there is something wrong with the situation you are in.
one of which needs to change. quickly.

brainfart of the day
it was brought to my attention the other week
that some person from some kind of organization
has suggested an ingenious way to tackle KL jams.
...by charging KL parking spots to 40 bucks an hour.
who says people in this country don't have a sense of humour?

effin' great!
now, i'm quite pleased that zoo negare
is bringing in 2 pandas to our shores,
undoubtedly a huge attraction for all.
it's rather noteworthy to me that one of em
is called Feng Yi, no doubt due to it's origin from china.
but looking closely, it can be abbreviated to F.Y.
give that a bit of thought.
...talk about cruelty to nice, fuzzy animals.

peng them.
one of the biggest life lessons that experience
has taught me (however much i wish it didn't) is,
you can never truly understand a tragedy unless you're in it.
so, belatedly, regarding the rather heated issue
of deciding whether to allow chin peng's ashes
to return to this country or otherwise,
i do not believe we or any politician should have a say,
but it should go to the people who went through it.
people who had to go through the horror of living
and surviving the hardship during our nation's past
and troubled times. those people. not us.
if they decide to reject it, so be it as it may.
but if they decide to let the pain and anger go,
and decide on forgiveness, then even better.
i would be totally fine with it. either way.

1st thing on their calendar is regret.
i love this movie quote;
"...only i'm 10 years too late.
why? because while i've been working so hard
i've missed out on all the bad dates, and the arseholes,
and now i'm running out of time.
noone told me it was a game of musical chairs,
by the time i figured it out, you know,
forget it, it's too late..."

it aint different.
escapism is a fascinating subject.
some people exercise and do outdoor activities,
some turn to religion and faith,
while some may turn to alcohol and drugs.
and others play like me play games.
so it baffles me to see the public berate
and place danger on games like grand theft auto 5.
you know, the one that is super violent?
some people who have tried out the ipad version,
commented that the game seeds violent behaviour
and indiscipline and criminal thoughts,
that it festers gun-totting youth and degrades the social
integrity and the overall safety of the public.
...that's the whole idea of the game, you see?
can any one of us honestly say that we have never had
violent thoughts and that overwhelming sensation
to just punch and shoot and run over others?
sure we do.
the point is, we don't do it in real life.
and to say that people who go around shooting others
in actual life is totally the game's fault?
utter rubbish.
first of all, no self-respecting gamer would be caught dead
trying out the "ipad version" of grand theft auto.
matter of fact, we don't try an ipad version of ANYTHING.
secondly, you don't have to be a gamer to display
real and actual life acts of random violence and anger.
have you ever driven around KL during peak hour?
and third, people ALWAYS fail to quote that the majority,
from millions and millions of gamers out there,
95% are normal, well-behaving and decent people.
it's because games are our way of escapism.
it helps us to release a lot of stress from the day,
and it provides us with a lot of fun as well.
to seek emotional release
through activity or medium.
see? that's what escapism is.
gaming isn't any different.

basic life skill of the day
a totally necessary but under-appreciated basic life skill,
is the ability to dip stuff into mayo from other people,
and to sort out caramel & non-caramel popcorn in the dark.

money stain.
so a few months ago there was a suggestion
by god knows who, regarding a sure-fire way
to deter people from robbing atm's.
...by putting ink bombs in em.
that's right, boys and girls. ink bombs
that goes off when it detects robbery,
hence staining bank notes, rendering em useless.
that's a wonderful idea! think of how much we'll save
from safeguarding atm machines all over by ruining money.
and let's just robbers target public people instead kan?
morons.

off the wonderful 'happy endings' show;
"...i'd rather be surprised by a dissapointment

yeah, me too.
one of the things i love most about
watching elimination rounds on
masterchef is when people open up
and tell us how they really feel.
and i love when peter says;
"...i think i've invested in this much more than i care to admit.
i feel like (i've) been living in a bubble
which has enabled me (to) not have to deal with certain things,
and i wanna do something for me right now,
and that's what staying here is all about..."
yeah, me too.
