Alright I think I am a little too late to cheer Pelf of the noble cause she is doing for the blogathon. Anyway, no excuses I guess, but I just want to say you may still visit her to know more. This is the summary of her efforts!

These are the people that shines brightly in my eyes, more than those who just blind me with their bling blings. Well I do wish I was earlier but just to put it, I was just a blogathon cheerleader in my mind until now. Congratulation to Pelf and also others that devoted themselves to such a noble cause.

Here’s wishing the eyes of the stupid and ignorant are opened wide wide to see what the new generations are doing for the future, their future, our future and the younger generations now and to come.

Playing Flour

I went drive thru style just now for dinner. It was still drizzling lightly and there were a few cars in front of me. As I was waiting to order, I caught a few teenagers playing as it drizzled on. Two of them had in their hand the day to day grocery store red plastic bags. In the plastic bags, it was filled with a white powdery substance. I immediately recognized it, the smooth powder, it was flour.

They were playing with flour, tossing and throwing hands full of flour at each other. I smiled. I tried to recall those moments when I laughed my heart out, almost feeling a heart attack was coming on next. Now I think, at least some of the kids nowadays are doing some of the things we did before.

I read bout the future installed for some of the kids today in tihtahpah’s place and now I can say, there are still some future in them that we had previously. I guess not all of them are confined and there are still some that are enjoying the way we did and imagined it would be lost to them.

For A Book

All right people, this is live at Starbucks Borders in Berjaya Times Square. It’s the launch of the Last Harry Potter book and there is quite a queue. If only it was from the very start.

It’s twenty minutes passed seven and people are continue to queue as I sit here with my mango frappucino. I’ve preordered, but I will not be queueing, for one damn reason, I hate the typical Malaysian mentality. I actually preordered more than three months ago and what, I come and I see all the people rushing like hooligans.

I would not really blame the management for this, for I heard there was a queue before this and there were people who were here may be about four in the morning. I doubt the four in the morning thing, but then however when they tell me there was a line and when they announced five minutes to seven that it was almost time, everybody rushed in like a bull, that I can believe, though all I saw was bulls at the entrance.

The typical mentality we have, queue nice nice at first, once the announcement come, fuh, where got humans anymore. In this matter, I guess the management takes some responsibilities as they could have organized the event better. After everyone got in, the door was like, half broken already. The big part will be the people, I’m sure if they are uneducated, but they are definitely behaving like animals.

My only thought is that, people waiting for the iphone in the states could camp out for a week or two and nothing happens. It was smooth and organized. Here, a mere hour to minutes and everyone turned into the devil in disguise.

Well that is my thoughts and well, I still have to get in line later, to get my more than three months preordered book. Of coz, after sipping my mango frappucino, I’m feeling a little better and the hooligans are in the front of the line. I will just queue with the rest of the them who did not pushed their way in like animals and those who condemn those acts.

What a morning, and all this for a book, I wonder what will happen if there is really something big, that shocks the nation or something like that. May be they will bring weapons and kill each other to get it first.

Now, if you would excuse me, I will get in the line to get my preordered book now. And please do not ask me if who or whatever died, I don’t really care. If you want to know, just go buy one in an organized manner and read it.

Hi, I’ve not seen you for sometime
Yeah, I’m not there anymore, been relocated to the HQ
Oh, yeah they told me when I asked them
Why, miss me?
Why, yes I miss you!

Does that sound like flirting to you?

Well, recalling that conversation I had with Sophia, quite a few weeks ago and I have not had the luck to bump into her so we could at least talk rather than just waving hands and saying hi. I guess may be that is the reason why I have not been going to Starbucks so often nowadays.

Side Mirror Gone

Posted under Anger & Rants

I’m still a little irritated with what happened earlier, which was just less than thirty minutes ago. The loud bang shook me a little and is still leaving some side effect in my ears, like ringing in one ear, shit! I was driving to work and like usual I take the tidal flow lane which goes against the traffic. This idiot on the motorcycle decided to be sandwiched between my car and a big bus causing me to lose my right side mirror. Bloody hell! Now I am crippled without the ride side mirror which makes reverse parking, overtaking or even turning right a very hard task.

I’m not saying that motorcyclist are bad or anything but can’t you at least value others life and be considerate. When the freaking bus already occupied the whole of your side of the road then just wait till there’s no car then only overtake the bus, not overtake it while there is traffic coming on the other side and risking other’s life.

I guess nothing really happened as I could see cars after cars sped past that point and are right behind me. So the motorcyclist escaped physical torture but then he is still being cursed by me, for that is the only thing I can do now. And to say the least, I think it was by luck too that nothing happened if not Steed would need to have his body worked on.

Still cursing the bloody blind, inconsiderate motorcyclist, I am left with a side mirror and not a pair. Now I have to check what the damage is, and time is needed to do that, which I am critically deprived of.

I’m not directing this to all motorcyclists but to those idiots and especially the dumb ass just now. I’m sure there are many that are really mannered while on the road, it’s just these rotten eggs that makes everyone else’s life miserable.

Damn I hate reckless idiots, even I was sane enough than to do these when I was younger.

Tagged by butt. Original idea of this tag came from Idham, and “for every person who complete this meme before August 26th, he will contribute RM127 on your behalf to the Darul Izzah Orphange, Bangi.”

The meme is about completing at least 17 out of the following 27 sentences. Let’s see how many I could make out of it…

  1.  
    1. A person is only as good as … who they think they are.
    2. Friendship is always … a gift and a burden.
    3. To love is to… live.
    4. Money makes me… hate myself.
    5. I miss … myself.
    6. My way of saying I care is by … my actions.
    7. I try to spread love and happiness by… being myself.
    8. Pick the flowers when… want to be summon by the authorities.
    9. To love someone is to… love myself more.
    10. Beauty is… in the heart and sometimes the eyes of the beholder.
    11. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was… fun, fun and more fun.
    12. When I was twenty one, I remember… being alone and at peace.
    13. I am most happy when … I can smile to myself.
    14. Nothing makes me happier than … my childhood projected before my eyes.
    15. If I can change one thing, I will change… nothing, nothing at all.
    16. If smiles were… items, then I… would give them out effortlessly!
    17. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could… just be ourselves?
    18. If you want to … free, then you have to … learn to fly.
    19. Money is not everything but… you can survive with paper.
    20. The most touching moments I have experienced is… yet to come.
    21. I smile when… I least expected it or even know the reasons.
    22. When I am happy, I… just smile.
    23. If only I don’t have to… walk, then… I can fly.
    24. The best thing I did yesterday was… nothing at all.
    25. If I ever write a book, I will give it this title,”… It’s All About Me”
    26. One thing I must do before I die is… to live.
    27. Doing this meme, I feel like … I’m doing something good.

Since this is a charity one, I shall not tag anyone, not that I do normally. If you think you want to do this and lend a helping hand, hoping this is true and not a scam, please feel free to do it.

I have been sick and I am losing my voice
Another downside to this is I don’t want to engage in an argument because I don’t want to and not in shape to do so
I can’t even speak properly now

As I am typing this one, I am watching the live earth concerts around the world in Australia, Shanghai, Germany and Japan. I know, I may well be the last one to know and talk bout this but hey, let’s answer the call.

Anyway, you can get more information from this site http://www.liveearth.msn.com/ and you can even watch the concert like I do, though it’s a little delayed telecast, but what else can you ask for.

Now let’s enjoy and think of how we can save the earth. And this time I will finally get to see Eskimo Joe, yes Cynthia, Eskimo Joe. Will be back later and Pelf, will reply to you soon.

He stepped into the shop, palely, confused and frustrated. He was greeted by Emily, but he was not himself, he looked fierce, to her.

I don’t know anything. I don’t know where is she?
Tell me what you know. Who is he?
I really don’t know anything!

Emily looked scared. She’s manning the music shop alone and I guess she’s just scared that Marcus would go berserk there. She assured him that she knew nothing about it. Marc knew that she knew more that she was telling and Emily knew that too. She was just hoping to keep him at bay to prevent anything happening.

Marc left, leaving Emily breathing a sigh of relieve. Marc grabbed his helmet and jumped on to his bike. He ignited his bike and put it to gear one set off to the road. His mind’s blank as he rode on the road. His big bike roared as he sped on the road

Selena called him the day before, breaking up with him. He was stunned, for he did not noticed anything wrong. Marc was dazed and did not know what to say. After Selena finished, she just hung up and Marc was still holding on to his cell phone, still in disbelieve. A sudden rush of impulse went to his hands, like a sudden rush of speed and anger, his cell phone landed against the wall, breaking into pieces as it landed on the floor.

His friend has been telling him that there must be something wrong for they only meet during week days and weekends are like free and easy. Marc dismisses all those remarks, setting aside all the doubt and believing Selena.

With her words still ringing in his ears and lingering in his mind, tears began to flood in his eyes. He blinks to try to focus on the road and the tears started rolling down his cheek, inside, wetting his full face that was hugging his head. As he sped through the highway, he kept blinking his eyes to try to clear his vision.

He disclosed the front panel of his full face to wipe the tears with his leather gloves. As he clears the tears, he realized that a trailer was right in front of him, less than a hundred meters away. He knew he could not avoid it in any way, with a terrifying shriek of the tyres trying to grip the roads as he engaged fully on his brakes, skidding in the direction of the trailer.

Marc closes his eyes, not knowing his fate. His bike hits the trailer with a loud bang and in a split second, he followed. The moment as he engaged the brakes with all his might, time seemed to have frozen to a complete stop. Everything seems to have slowed down, to an almost complete halt.

As his bike skidded on its side towards the trailer, Selena’s words played back again.

I’m sorry Marcus, I’ve not been truthful.
I was going out with someone at the same time as I was going out with you
I did not pick anyone of you, I choose to let go, both of you.
I’m sorry.
Goodbye.
