It isn't that bad when it comes to blogging when :
-The browser is stable and not having it crash for the dozen time ! Especially when your in the midst of creative typing.... *grumble grumble...stupid mozilla firefox !
-When you have nothing to do ! Problem is there is so much to do...like seeing animes, games and movies... i got a (censored - insert beep) lot of things to see.
- When time is unlimited ! So thanks for those who do drop in once in a while... just can't find the time to blog...with the exception of this entry.
- When there is hardly anything good to talk about ! My life consists of everyday boredom...same old- same old. *Sigh. Hardly anything good to criticizes or praise worthy enough to put it in here. :)
-When your English is good and there isn't any grammar mistakes and those stuff... every now and than... i find stupid mistakes in my own blog like...(censored) and (censored)...soo why do i even bother blogging ?
- When there is a good internet connection. Malaysia isn't exactly the best place in the world when it comes to having a good and stable internet connection. It's slow and as stable as a drunk person who walks on 4 leg ! I have dozens of pics to put into my webpage and (censored) i can't do it....coz...to load a single picture with the size of 700kb takes about 3 mintues. Imagine how long it takes just for a single video clip from YOUTUBE. Hmmph ! Down with Streamyx...Screamyx.. TM NUTS and whatever names you have been given by the "satisfied" public with ur puny 512Kb and 1Mb package !
So...finally ! Here's the long awaited blog entry most of my friends have been waiting for. Actually it's all about the recent...well not so recent since i procrastinated in doing this blog entry. Oh yeah...one more thing, this blog entry contains at least 100+ pictures. So if your not a patient reader, i assure you that your patients will run out before the 30th pic. So...without further delay...
THIS IS......THE FIRST DAY !
This was our rendezvous point in Sebrang Prai Masjid. When asked about any landmarks we can refer to, the answer is something like this, "Go straight on. straight straight straiigggghhhtttttt oooon and than you will see a big big BBBIIIIIIGGGGG Masjid. *proceed to smile at me*" Real helpful directions if any. And i felt a bit foolish though... i was the only guy carrying 3 bags. 2 big bags to carry my shirts and a rusksack. Well actually the 2nd big bag contained nothing but a pair of shoes and slippers but i was sure glad to be carrying an extra bag with me when they start handing out free shirts. 2 free shirts including a vest? What's the point of handing us these shirts when on the piece of paper containing the list of things to bring was written in an eye catching big letter words like " Bring enough shirts for 4 days of activities."
Upon reaching Ipoh Stadium... You can see a bunch of us start to make our way towards the food. Like true Penangites, food is like the most important thing for us. After all, our state was known as a hawker heaven where food is plentiful and the nearest coffee shop or "kopitiam" in local terms are as near as 3 blocks away only.
Inside the stadium, as our state began to enter, cheers were heard as various states in Malaysia began feeling the stadium seats...was very tempted to raise my hands like some rock star entering a stage. Lol. Soo....after much yakking from the man in the stage (circled in red)...Was dead tired from the guy yakking and yakking and not to mention that
we stood for nearly 1 and a half hours waiting for some nut who decided
to came late. I can still remember the person telling us "Menteri Perak
akan datang pada pukul 3.00pm tepat....soo sabar ! " (Meaning some big
shot will come at 3.00pm sharp so be patient !) Patient my foot ! That
jackass came at 4.30 and the first thing he said was "I was waiting for
you all to be ready for my arrival." and after more yakking it was decided that i and a certain bunch of unlucky cretins will be staying in Kerian.
A picture is worth a thousand words...except i still prefer the thousand words. Circled in red is a very clear description of a bored and sleeping person. Circled in blue is Mr.BigShot who from now on will be called Mr-i-was-waiting-for-YOOOOUUU!!!
Well...that's ok....EXCEPT that is back where we came from. so that means all in all, 3 hours to reach to Ipoh Stadium to hear some lousy briefing and it's back again we go adding another 2 hours of journey...no...make it 3 hours because our drunk bus driver took a wrong turning and we end up in Kedah instead of Perak. Wonderful...imagine i fell asleep just as we were about to leave for Kerian and waking up to see large stretches of padi field. With a half blur mind was wondering why did my geography book din't mention anything about large padi fields in Perak when i suddenly see several Kedah flags being hung outside some houses. Imagine my reaction...finally after getting lost we were escorted back by the Perak police officers in their car. Bless them.
We were traveling in darkness thanks to our bus driver but because of them... our heroes who came and brought us back to the light road....i mean the right road. Ok...that was lame :(
When we arrive we got a very warm and "malayish" greeting. You think they are welcoming some big guy but actually they were waiting for us...oooo....i get to hold a little cute girl's hand as well. And got a free gift too from her. Weeee!
And than there was the topic about this "hotel" being not such a bad place at all....untill....we rush up to our rooms to check out the condition and i happen...nooo... weee happen to have our eyes glued to a very interesting object that happen to be on the wall.
Yes...This my dear friends and readers is a very dead and very disgusting cockcroach stuck on a wall like a sticky pancake stuck on the ceiling. Like some ancient fossilized cockroach. Too bad i can't collect it for my upcoming bio insect collection thingie. I could really use it. Oh..and that's not all...
No hot water for the frezzing nights...No airconditioning....Aye...Nuts to it.. No water at all too. Just goes to show how great this hotel is... Come to think of it , it isn;'t even a hotel. It's an inn. So it's pretty common to see guys running down the hallway to the nearest room to borrow those lucky ones that have an infinity supply of water. Unlike my room...The first guy to take a the bath will have a nice moderate supply of water for him. The second guy will have to put up with enough water to soap his body and have some remaining soap stuck on his body. The last guy will have to go next door and beg for water. Pretty interesting lifestyle over there.
Not much to say for this pic is there? More talking more nodding of the head not because of agreement but because some of them were nodding their heads because obvisouly...with eyes closed and heads bowed...ZZZZZZ. At least there are certain things that keep them awake like this.
It's the National Crow like a chicken competition! See who makes the biggest fool to win cash...fake cash that is. Have they no shame ? The best was when one of the teachers mention " Saya suka ayam itu kerana bunyinya macam ayam gatai!" Owned ! Thus with those words from the judges... He was crowned the king as "ayam gatai!". King and tyrant over the rest of the not-so-gatai-ayam...not to mention getting 300 dollars worth of fake cash and a big drop for his ego level towards the real chicks without feathers. Let's see you crow over this!
THIS IS........THE SECOND DAY !!!!
OOOOOO.....So long since i updated this part... sorry for the long delays.. anyway... there is still so much to talk about and hopefully i can remember some little details here and there.
And so begins the 2nd day for my camp..awaken only by the little beep beep sound my handphone makes... looking at the time, it's only 5am and we manage to squeeze in 3 hours of sleep. Even our beloved ex prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad sleeps more than that. Waking up at such an uncivilised time is really too much...and for a very lousy reason to do so. Seeing us future "leaders" of this country as nothing but an unfit bunch of youths, we set off to Sekolah Kuala Gula in Perak of course for our...... *Drum rolls* Tada !!! Aerobic exercise ! Just the thing we need to push us off
Long time since i updated this blog. Well 20 days is long. I guess i been busy doing a few stuffs not to mention trying to adapt myself to study life after not studying for 6 months. Well...brief summary of what i been doing since i last updated.
So what have i been doing while i was gone? I was busy with.....
With my camera, being evil that is.Taking photos of sleeping girls to exploit them through the internet. Yes, having a camera is having power and i choose to use it wrongly.
Playing with swords.This is a real Katana, a friend brought it so we can use it a rapier in the act. We get to fool around with it without any stab wounds. Weee!
Being sweaty and stinky. Yeah...that's my back. You should see the
front,but i guess I'll spare all the readers out there. Imagine just
for a moment. The horrific stench can be smelled even when I'm
outdoors...what happens if I enter a room with poor ventilation ? Like
one of the VIP audience that i managed to catch her sayings "Is that
sweat ?" Well....Duh ! It sucks to be one of the hottest topic in school
and what a stupid topic to talk about.
With taking photos of a transvestite.That's a guy by the way but what a transformation. I mean look at his arms...his muscular arms....his erm...er.... false...bosoms? And please dun look at his armpits....HEY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK AT HIS ARMPITS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? Sheesh...no use warning you. Go ahead and stare all you like.
Watching them carry a corpse around. That little guy being carried by the big guy? He was a dead man found hanged from a tree and the latter was the undertaker. Is that how you handle a dead body anyway?
I been busy scaring people away. Was working for the ghost house for Canteen day. My first Canteen day in my entire life and i spend it all in scaring people off their wits...some seems to enjoy it though...imagine paying good money to be scared...isn't there a better way to scare them like telling them that our world has not enough space to throw the trash away.... like we have no proper way of getting rid of radioactive waste...or how about our ozone layer is thinning ? Isn't that scary enough ?
And basicaly commenting about every single damn picture i put in this blog..Ill-disiplin cadet students posting while they are suppose to be on duty...Bah!!!
It's been a long time since i blog, but hey, i came up with an interesting topic to talk about. Since this is mostly my personal ramblings, your free to move away and read some other peoples blog if you don't like it.
Yes ! I'm here to talk complain about how Hollywood actors in action movies that after being shot for the thousand and one time, still lives to make multiple sequel for their movies. Ok, what brought out this outburst was when after seeing Diehard 4.0 with my friends. Yes, blame Len Wiseman for directing the show and brining out this outburst. So here are my Top 3 most unkillable heroes in Hollywood's action pack movies:-
Top 1 most unkillable and bullet avoiding heroes in Hollywood's action pack movies
Arnold Schwarzenegger aka Terminator
Haha, current governator i mean governor of California, this guy is more bulletproof than a tank. He took bullets from SWAT teams, National Security forces, and even the army and all he could do was say. He got a metal bar stuff through him like a barbequed chicken under the grill. He got his arms chop off. He has the tendency to be sarcastic and obeys all orders to the letter. You just gotta love him when he shoots people in the legs in order to incaipate them. Also he loves to say "I'll be back!". In all three Terminator films, the Terminator's definition of "being
back" means entering a building by driving a vehicle through it: In
"The Terminator", he drives a car into a police station after saying
"I'll be back"; in "Terminator 2", he drives a SWAT van into the
Cyberdyne Building after saying "I'll be back"; in "Terminator 3", he
flies a helicopter into an airplane hangar, steps out and proclaims
"I'm back!" See what a great sense of humor he has ? We always hear him saying "You're Terminated!" in every Terminator show when ever he kills the big bad evil robots. Can't wait to hear that shove up his face instead. That will be good for a change. Fine,you tell me that his a robot from the future and can withstand lots of bullets and all that riffraff. What about those other shows where he acts without getting killed ? Or about the part where he enters a estate armed only with a Machine gun and a shotgun and just a single rocket launcher ? How do you explain that ? Sheesh ! Hasta la Vista, baby!
Top 2 most unkillable and bullet avoiding heroes in Hollywood's action pack movies
Sylvester Stallone Aka Rambo
Hehe, this guy doesn't need any introductions either. Who doesn't know the steroid eating-gun totting man famous for being called RAMBO. Even his name strikes fear unto the heart of his enemies. Remember the first show of Rambo? The cowardly sheriff of that town was hiding on top of his little police station. No use doing that eh? This guy catches a ride underneath tanks, drives tanks, flies helicopters, and can even out run a helicopters gun fire. He even got a place in history as on of the most violent man in showbiz. According to the Guinness Book Of Records, Rambo III broke a record as the most violent film ever made with 221 acts of violence and over 108 deaths. Ironically, First Blood only had one confirmed death, and three possible deaths. And now he has a job in reality shows teaching how to punch the stuffings out of people. Interesting and ouch.
Top 3 most unkillable and bullet avoiding heroes in Hollywood's action pack movies
James Bond
Famous for being called double O-Seven or more commonly 007, he has a licence to kill and he does so with much glee and joy. Known for being the biggest womanizer in any action movies and for a person who never returns his cars to the owner in a not so perfected condition. This chap here and is strangely liked by many girls i know and yet...a womanizer ? Gosh.... He survives more explosions than a fireman and is seen with bright explosions behind his back as a colorful background. Yup..he creates his own romantic sunset with his stash of never ending explosives. His a person whom i will compliment and say that has a good sense of surrounding. Always on the look out for something to aid him in his missions. From common non-dangerous and lethal items like wheelchairs and fire extinguishers, anything that he grabs becomes a weapon of mass destruction even a beer tray. So he out runs thousands of bullets fired by henchmens over the years, rarely getting a scratch. But the most amazing thing about this guy is not his super ability of survivng so many bullets but how he managed to survived without getting AIDS for sleeping with so many women. Simply amazing job Mr.Bond ! Dun learn from him. Bad example. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Honestly I'm getting lazy to blog. well, actually, the blogger is watching some homemade Star Wars clip instead of blogging this entry. But since this is kinda once in a while thing, i mean the blogging not the Star Wars watching thingie, and people are also starting to complain that i haven't been updating it for awhile. It's nice to know that people are complaining because it shows that they are interested in my blog. Thanks you all. Oh yeah this is going to be a long one.
Anyway, this time it's all about Penang Bridge Run. Took part in the 10km race, yes *hangs head shamefully* i know lots of girls took part in the half marathon which is 22.7 km but all i really wanted was the National Certificate of Participation and the pride that i'm fit enough to run 10km. Lol.
This blog entry is dedicated to Jason Chin and his family for fetching me to and fro from Penang whom without i cannot join in this ermm.....fantastic ? Amazing ? ahh..yes Suffering Event ! Yes, i really suffer from the 10km walk. Although i dun feel the side effects now, i'm expecting to feel it tomorrow when i wake up for school.
Left the home around 11.00pm. Was supposed to drive there myself but unfortunately, i dun really know the roads since i have a bad sense of direction. Most of my friends left for Penang around 10.00pm or maybe earlier. Some even left in the morning but sadly i can't follow them since i have Chem tuition. Had some nice Char Kuay Teow for supper around 12.00am. Honestly, after having that meal in BM town, i conclude that Malaysia has the most well fed rats in South-east Asia. I mean look at their size. They are probably around 1 feet or so length and probably 7 or 8 inches tall. Scary man. Imagine if they just strive on scrap food and yet grow this big, what will happen if they manage to eat some vitamin supplement ? Lol.
Thankfully we manage to reach Penang island around 12.40 and spend another hour trying to find a place to park. Uncle got lost and manage to park somewhere near USM itself. Manage to burn nearly 5 hours away just by wondering around and around. Besides, the marathon was so badly organize that i was force to run 2 Km before the race even starts. Why ? Because Penang authorities have absolutely no brains at all. Not an ounce worth. I mean they go around hailing all Fun Run runners ( Erm... confuse ? I entered a group called Fun Run which means i'm only going there for the cert ) should go to RESCAM to get their serial number for the run. Hell yeah... and that's like 2 Km way from where i was standing. So off i go to RESCAM with Jason hot on my trail. Lol. Thanks Jason for faithfully trailing following after me.
Oh yeah, did i mention that police officers in Penang do not have a sense of distances ? I manage to ask a police officer who was taking care of traffic and he said it was about 1 Km away. Running a little further, another police officer told me was about 5 Km away !!! What the ? So followed by more running and more asking another told me was like juz 100 meters away. Certainly din't feel like 100 meters. Another told me that it's just about 3 minutes of running and it will be on my right. And guess what ? Only 1 of the is correct. Good grief. Soo, foreigners that are planning to visit Malaysia for your annual family holiday, word of advice, bring your GPS with you, that is if Malaysia is able to support it.
Sooo.... What happen next, ermm.... arrive at RESCAM around 2.00am. Surprisingly wasn't tired at all after all the jog. What a waste of energy an what a sight that greets me in RESCAM's main gate. Thousands of students pouring out from the gate, newspapers and empty water bottles strewn everywhere in the compound and students sleeping on newspapers and covered in newspaper as makeshift blankets like beggars. This could be Beggar's heaven for all i know cause everyone is acting like them. Called Louise and thanks to the lousy connection and all the background noise, all i heard was something like this :
Time : Around 2.00 in the morning Place : Inside RESCAM main compound.
Leonard : Morning, where are you ?
Louise : *Buzzing noise * Morning. Erm... I'm in the.......*ZZZZZZZZZ* sleeping on the floor with news *ZZZZZZZ* and al *ZZZZZZZ* and........ *Trails off*
Leonard : What ? Say louder, can't hear you. Hallo ? Hallo ? *Line cuts off*
Yeah, something like that. Haiz...well the best way to get someone's attention or some unwanted attention was as i found out by taking pictures with your camera....with the flash on. Sadly this time most of my pictures din't come out nicely which was a great pity. So i send her a message to tell her to watch out for lots of great flashes cause that will be me, the shutterbug taking lots of pictures. Anyway, din't meet up with her until much later. Jason and i actually walk around the whole of RESCAM to find out whether the serial thing was real. Turns out to be a fake. Nuts to that idiot who goes around telling us to get our serial.
After more wasting of time, the sponsors of Penang Bridge run decided to see how long we can last by...
Yeah kinda strange. If they want us to "warm up" it won't last for a full half and hour. Lol. By the time we finish "warming up", we can't even stand without our legs shaking ! Lol. Than there was the super hectic wait for the run to start. Heck when it started all we heard was a gun shot and people start running walking. Yeah, walking. Not because they want to safe their energy or something but because the place where the chose has such a narrow lane that people just surge forward like snails in a block drain. Here's a video footage of it. Dun mind the sponsors speaking in Malay.
Yup. That was how fast we were moving. Expected since fun run itself has about 8000 applicants. Not funny at all. Skip to the run. The run itself was a killer. I dun mean the pain from the legs but the pain when you see so many empty water bottles being thrown on the floor. The pain of those who weren't smart enough to bring their own water bottles were registered in their face. Lol. Actually i got lots of things to tell, like how we suffer from one pit stop to the other realizing that all the water there was gone oh the tragedy and how we were overtake by little kids and girls and even old mans. I could also tell you what happens when you run too far and to fast but i think i will spare all the readers. Less talk , more pictures right ? Oh yes, and i din't meet KENNYSIA. SO STOP ASKING ME IF I GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH !
Here's one, where typical malaysians just can't read english,nor malay. Heck, they can't even see sign languages ! See that ? It says danger, no parking or your car will be towed away.
This one is just plain scary... after talking to Jason about how terriost will blow up the bridge while we are on it, i find this bag unguarded and juz lying in an empty car with nobody around that area. Surpise surprise.
This ain't that bad. Participants sleeping on the floor while waiting for the run. Heck some even bother to do this...
Nifty eh? This people are willing to pitch their tent anywhere. The sign says it's a parking area, does it mean the tent or the vehicle ?
This is kinda peacful sleeping beside the road or even at the divider.
This people will try to take a nap anywhere ! They are kinda like fungus. the sleep at places where you least expect them and yet surprise to see them there. At least this isn't that bad as RESCAM. Wait till you see it. Too bad my flash isn't powerful enough.
This one is at RESCAM. Beggar's delight street. There's more though.
Try to look through the darkness, this place looks like it got hit by a atomic bomb wrap in newspaper. Oh yeah, they had a stand there selling newspaper. People buy it not for the news but to use it as makeshift blankets and mattresses. Wow. I actually wondered how the people incharge are going to clean up this mess.
This far kid here actually tried to pick a fight with me just because i took a picture of the toilet and he was in it. Hey little dwarf, i din't want to snap your ugly face if i had a choice. Next time i meet i'll pound you to the ground.
Warming up with aerobics ! Yeah, i'm the only one who din't do it. Got enough of a warm up just trying to get to RESCAM.
Penang Bridge Crawl Marathon. Yeah, at least that's what they should call it. It's so frigging jam pack that it was easier to be carried away by the flow of people than to use that miserable pair of thin chopsticks that you it legs.
Now this is a psychological test, do you look at the shiny bag first or do you notice the round white spot on the middle runners's butt ?
Tragedy.... all the empty water containers found strewn all over the street along with sponges. Sigh... too bad for those who forgot to bring their water bottles with them.
Now this is interesting. This people were there cheering for the runners from the begining to the end. Good for them. Well...kinda increase my stamina abit after seeing it.
Finishing line ! Finally. From dark to dawn. Notice the two sleepy persons closes to the shots. Just look at their eyes.
USM field. Where refreshments were prepared for everyone.
The twins. One of them is from High School Bukit Mertajam. Told you that i'll put your pics inside my blog.
We are a thirsty bunch of people. This was only one of the many filled trash cans filled to the brim with this paper cups.
And after i got back, this is what i saw in the newspaper.
My 2 cents : I have Enochlophobia and Claustrophobia ! A fear of crowds and enclosed or confined spaces. What about you ? I mean after participating in this run with all the lack of space and breathing in others peoples 6 hours sweat filled bodies, who won't ?
