remind me to tell u of my encounter with the fuzz, ok

.... jump around, jump around, jump up jump up get down....

YIPPEE!!! My life starts NOW. The night is so energising... Going off to my fave warung, as always... wonder what the fascination is. Tiddly-doo folks...

In the Jay and Silent Bob movie, there's a parody of Star Wars as well... and the ultimate homage? Look out for Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher... cool shit!!!

At approximately 2am Saturday the 23rd, I felt horrifically alone. I mean, i had my pal in the next room and all. BUt... i dont know if anyone else feels like this, I just felt ALONE. A wise woman, my first girlfriend, in fact, once told me, "I'm not lonely but i feel alone", and in my mind i went "what the fuck do u mean???", which of course i did not verbalise for obvious reasons. I've since found out what that means, and the play on words makes it morecomplex than it is.

I called my pal Sourbabe up. She was in no mood to talk. Given the godforsaken hour, it was OK. Somehow the need to talk to someone was so damn great! Wow. Daffodil... oh i tried your phone too, alas, you were asleep?! You know lah, it was time to wax lyrical... And you know what the most excellent thing is? I did not think of calling up any member of my family. I Think i better ponder on this. My priorities on relationships, family, blah blah blah.

One cause of my condition outlined above could have been my inaccessibility to a computer and the Net! I was over at my friend's, you see. I must have been suffering from Net Deprivation Syndrome (NDS) !!!! Anyone else with that disease? IM me!!! Ho Ho Ho.

So i alleviated said symptoms by watching movie after movie. In order - The Center Of the World, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Yamakasi. My Happy Movie of the Day must have been Jay and Silent Bob!!! TWO THUMBS UP, y'all. (Man i better get an original line...) It's foul-mouthed, full of stoned-out slackers, and best of all, the FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH, Shannon Elizabeth. Look out for Ben Affleck (in 2 roles!), Jason Biggs, Chris Rock (CB4 rulezzz!), and lotsa other cameo appearances by half of Hollywood. A-Laff-A-Minute sorta movie. Given that its budget was probably a third of Pearl Harbour, it gave me 3 times the pleasure, dude. Hmmm... I have an affinity for dumb slacker pothead movies. AIRHEADS is an all-time fave, and so's any movie by Adam Sandler and what's that other guy's name...Pauly Shore! (hasn't had many movies out lately-Kylie M and him were hilarious in Bio-Dome,she had a prominent posterior in that role). am i one meself? My fave use of pot would be as an aphrodisiac..talk about extra-sensory perception... BRING OUT THEM BONGS, dudes!!!

Gotta run guys and gals. Take care and ROCK YOUR WEEKEND. Be special, eiht.

'TIS A DILEMMA for Fridays - To Party or NOT to Party.... hmmm... can be such a rejuvenator, going for some loud music and cool funky beats. Listening to Red FM Friday nites doesn't help too. Party animals! Tune in for some of the best beats ever heard on local radio. Perhaps i shall leave my old tired bones alone tonight... catch some zzz's... So many decisions to make... Make my weekend sojourn to Uncle Don's, yippee!!! See you there.

HAVE A NICE NIGHT ALL OF YOU!

HAVE SUDDEN CRAVING FOR NASI KANDAR. Not any one will do OK. The one called LINE CLEAR in Pulau Pinang. OOOOhhhhh culinary heaven. It would take a fair amount of time but I'd be there by tea-time if I hurried... Next time you're in Penang, look the place up. It's in a lane before Chowrasta Market. Just ask around, i think it's a regional icon. I bumped into it one fine day, years ago, when i read an article about it in NST, heaping praises and all. So i turned to my pal (who's not my pal anymore, you cheating son-of-a-gun) and said, LET'S GO HERE! and off we went and proceeded to stuff our faces. Wow. U know what. don't think it was the food (how different can nasi kandar get?) so it was probably more the ambience, the service and all that jazz. There's no piped-in music. Just the Tamil channel on radio perhaps? Try it out.

IN KL? the good one must be near Central Market, called Yusoof & Something or other. Not the shops facing Central Market, but behind, along the side-lane (Does good food in Malaysia get produced only along these lanes?). You'll pass the place if you walk from Central Market to Kotaraya. YUMMY! Must be the ambience or something again, cos i'm sure all the Nasi Kandar shops around there are related entities. Must go get breakfast soon.

Needless to say, I Stink Now. Still doing my bit for Mother Earth by not cleaning up. Or iZZit just plain laziness??!!! I'd stick with the latter.

Didn't have my bath after all. In fact, not even a shower. I did my part for the environment and saved a few litres of water. More for industry, i say.

Didn't go for my morning jog as well. IT was one of those mornings... bleary-eyed, just can't get outta my bed-mornings. Heh heh, sung to that Kylie tune - Can't Get Me Outta Da Bed... Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na Na.... I KNOW WHY! I watched Pearl Harbor the movie last night. It was tiring... a bundle of laughs. It was as predictable as a Hindi picture!!! Surely Mumbai has a version out now? Please enlighten me, Hindi pic fans. The dialogue in PH was simply hilarious! Corny lines that won't ever be used in real life... exaggerated characters... flag-waving patriotism...IF Americans were so good, they'd know that war serves no purpose. I really dislike big Hollywood productions. A load of crap.

I watched that movie called 'Amelie' and it kept my attention from beginning to end! Go watch it wherever you are. It's a delight, funny at every step. Audrey Tatou is just so cute, impish even. Just that look in her eyes when she's about to carry something out... Hee hee!!! Two Thumbs Up.

Have you watched your Happy Movie for the Day?

MAN, i'm in need of a hot bath. you know, fill a bath with loads of water... pour in some scent, and... AWAY WE GO!!! oops! i forget - in these dire times of water rationing and low water pressure, having a bath would not be too acceptable. Would it?

MY main wonder for a long time has been: in a country with one of the highest rainfalls in the world, a supposed tropical country teeming with lush rainforests, blah blah blah, why would we be in the midst of a water shortage? We're short of water catchment areas, we're not supposed to develop hillsides, and yet... just drive around the Klang Valley and watch the trees and hills being mowed over. Government decree does not equate to practical actions? And the JBA admits that piped water losses are about 40%... and it does not have the manpower, the resources to fix the problem. Hmmm. Solutions so near yet so far. The irony is great: I laugh to myself when it's pouring cats and dogs outside, and... the taps are dry at home.

LOOK AT THE SMOG outside, day and night. It's got nothing to do with the Indonesians carrying out open burning, nor the El Nino phenomenon. It is US, the prosperous Malaysians, hungry for homes to live in, to invest our money upon. Throw the papers away (they don't say much anyway), go around with your eyes open, dudes and dudettes. See the MASSIVE clearing going on, indiscriminately. The trees... fully mature trees, chopped bald for nothing (take a drive along Bandar Tun Razak and witness the damage. I loved those trees, beautiful and majestic). Don't think they were gonna widen the road, it's big enough for the amount of traffic. So WHY? DBKL? why?

THE WORST OF IT IS... our local papers are not allowed to report on the environment. Remember the Air Pollution Index (API) figures they used to publish a long time ago during the early days of the 'haze'? Poof... in a wisp of smoke, disappeared. Newspapers can't report on the damage being done. The thing is, what we don't read in the papers, we breathe in. We drink it. We can see with our own eyes. Wouldn't it be better to take off em blinds of the people, and we can actually do something about it through some democratic process? If that's possible, that is.

Butterflies are no more. Guppies are no more.

sze ning .... DO THE RIGHT THING! what are you waiting for??? it will be a case of so near, yet so far. DO u Wanna Live Life with Regrets? i don't think so. Just gather your courage... and go get your man! : )

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE IS THE WORD FOR THE EVENING. Observing some joker order a cheese dog, and reject it cos it smelt funny... heh heh. IT'S CHEESE,MAN! HOW ELSE WOULD CHEESE SMELL??? I wonder how often this dude eats dairy products, given the lactose intolerance of some segments of our multi-faceted country. The Moral Of the Story is, Given certain quarter's lack of ability to digest dairy, DON'T ORDER WHAT U CAN'T PROCESS.

Tis evening. 7.09pm to be precise. At this moment I realize that i never feel well around this time of day. Nauseous? An urge to be in the great big outdoors? OK... dont think we can find that in KL anymore... like wanna puke. Should i go jump around? should i skip rope? GOD i did that the other day with my little cousins, and DAMN my knees hurt like hell!!! of course it's been umpteen years since i last skipped... dont think my knees can take the shock of my weight bouncing up and down....

Gonna go see my friend later. Inevitably there will be booze involved... *hic* Wish me luck in evading the fuzz. The trick is, no matter what state of inebriation we are in, one just have to 'look' sober and talk in a proper manner, without slurring or some other weird speech patterns. Don't be like:
Fuzz: "Ada minum ke?"
Drunk: " Tak de lah... " then proceeds to sing the chorus of Bohemian Rhapsody, much to the amusement of the Fuzz.

For details on any other tricks of the trade, please e-mail details to me, together with USD 19.99 for my booklet, "Running Circles around the Fuzz and other Powers-that-Be."

---> HAVE YOU WATCHED YOUR HAPPY MOVIE FOR THE DAY?

THING TO DO FOR THE DAY
Go make a difference to someone. Be it your mama, papa, sister, brother, friend, stranger. Make that person have a spontaneous smile and good feelings. Do something strange, weird, out of the ordinary. Make them think you've gone bonkers!

I DON'T LIKE WAR MOVIES. They suck and depress me. I did watch this one called 'We Were Soldiers'. Technically it was good, what with Mel Gibson and Chris Klein looking good in it. But.. the spectacle which is war sometimes does not need glorifying on-screen. All the gore in recent movies like 'Black Hawk Down' and the like, people say it de-sensitives us to violence and bloodshed. Immune to it, we would be.

I PROPOSE A 'Watch A Happy Movie' Week! K-Pax worked wonders for me. A lot of us loved 'Serendipity' as well... u know who you are! The hopeless romantic. Daffodil? heh heh. We should watch it together, you and me. Bring out the Kleenex! the BIG pack, 200 pulls, not the small one (100 pulls). Hey Daffodil, thanks for all the mornings of company. You really do have an infectious laugh- wish we could broadcast it to the world and end all wars, eh. Not to mention an eternally-optimistic soul... : )

THINK it's time to get some work done... til next time...

WONDER WHAT KINDA BIG BIKE I'LL BUY... can't stand Harleys though, their owners are such poseurs and wanna-bes. Sure sign of mid-life crisis!!! Me, being the definitive working-class dude, will choose the loveliest, funkiest of em all - the SUZUKI V125 scooter!!! Check out them radical crazy air-brush designs, and the funky CD players!!!! IT's really the best to get ya around... the new Babe-machines. Surely you've seen em zipping around in groups, all sorts of music pumping out.


SUGGESTION: U GOTTA GET THE BASS, GUYS! put a woofer in your carrier-box or something! i got a pair of subs if anyone's interested... sob sob.


However... this up-and-coming tourist attraction / cultural phenomenon is gonna disappear, if it's up to the POWERS-THAT-BE, the fuzz, pigs... u get the picture. First, they decree that CD players and sound systems are violating some fictitious statute. Wow. Seems they rip it right outta your bike. After that absurdity, NOW they disallow scooters in groups. Hmmm. Think the fuzz need to put some attention to some real crime-fighting. Scooter dudes are normally middle-class, well-off, and eloquent. College students and the such...Don't confuse them with those Mat-Motor lah!!! Do they really disturb the peace? Those things usually don't even have loud exhausts. Not that i've heard of, anyway... Hey, to Those-In-Power, get your act right first of all.


'Nuff said. GET A LIFE, dudes in blue.

I DID A WEIRD THING TODAY. i was up by 7am. YES. for a self-confessed night-owl who's known for being awake at any given hour. THAT'S NOT the weirdest though. I WENT JOGGING. or more precisely, walking. Even worked up a sweat. all before 8.30am. Is this some sort of turning point? early onset of mid-life crisis? will i get a big bike now? (wouldn't mind that at all! boys and their toys...)

That is why, PF, i am up and around! Just in case you were wondering... ho ho ho.

Starting the day early means something, u know. Somehow, things get into focus much earlier. Is it the sunlight, bright and cheery? Is it the fact that something has to be done to fill the waking hours? I'd really rather be sitting home, listening to music and watching VCDs... but i'd vegetate and they'd have to find a place for me in the Botanical Gardens. So given the capitalist nature of our society, I must soldier on... line my pockets with silver, blah blah blah. Anyone wanna set up a commune?

MOVIE OF THE DAY: K-PAX
It's a must-watch! It really is funny, and Kevin Spacey is always SOOO DAMMMMNNN GOOODDDD. Talk about deadpan serious acting style! Damn... he convinced me the whole way through. There's as usual some social commentary going on. Entertaining lor, don't miss it.

Have a beautiful sunny day....

am going jogging in a while ... my poor heart deserves some attention! It'll be pretty funny cos when i move... the ground might just shake... and it ain't the piling from the construction site... Good Luck to ME.

DAMN i still cant get the hang of this. Just deleted a few lines. Cant get it back. Thank you Windows. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Hey, Itself, how do i get links created? gotta learn HTML? damn, i just dunno that sorta thing. teach me, will ya, when u get the chance.

Any shishah kaki around? It's such a lovely thing... a light pleasant buzz, not to mention the pleasant smell... mmm... can't wait til later to get my hands on some.

Take care, y'all

IT's SO FRIGGING HOT HERE in KL... does anyone wonder why the trees are those thin puny skinny ones which will topple over if we lean on it? They hardly provide any shade. Pass by any school these days... and... poor kids, frying in the sun. One wonders if the national IQ average is dropping due to over-excessive UV and heat exposure...

'Tis I, the Madman... will you be brave enough to hear me out? Or will this be just another poseur blog? The thing is, not to have any presumptions about anything at all. That might discolour our perceptions of what we strive to achieve... WHAT THE F am i going on about???

Thanks to ITSELF (god, what IS your name? You do really enthrall me, okay. Would love to pick at your brains one day.) Have been following your adventures and... some laffs they have provided! Cool ---> party on!
