Racism, Corruption and everything Bad II : Apologies and Clarifications

Hahaha, I was a bit extreme in the last post. Now I've cooled down a bit, let me clarify my position.

1. I AM NOT RACIST. I know many people of other races that I rate as being more mature and intelligent compared to yours truly. What I meant to say is, in Malaysia, what we have now is racial TOLERANCE, not UNITY. We are merely putting up with others' idiosyncracies without truly understanding them.

2. I APOLOGIZE. I made a few generalizations on a certain race. This is not correct and I apologize for it. In truth, race and religion are 2 of the oldest ways that mankind has used to differentiate themselves. That was useful in the Stone Age when everyone was trying to survive and everyone you met from another tribe were your enemies/competitors/threats. It is no longer applicable in today's globalized world and I apologize if I offended anyone.

3. I AM NOT RELIGIOUSLY DISCRIMINATORY. It is true that I do not practise any one of the main religions existing in today's world, but neither am I an atheist. It's just that I get incredibly riled up when people use His name for their own purposes.

Racism, Corruption and everything bad

This is not going to be a nice post. I recommend not reading it. Be prepared for lots of swearing if you do.Here goes:

Malaysia is a multiracial country and is (officially) proud of it. According to the Tourism Malaysia, Malaysia is " a bubbling, bustling melting pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony". Yeah, right. My fragrant arse it is.

Heard of the term Malay superiority? It means giving special rights to people who abuse them. University places, land rights, special preference in most things all go to people who, even after all these artificial advantages and 50 years, control a mere 30% of the country's wealth. And even that 30% belongs to something like 20% of Malays. For heaven's sake, they cant even speak their native language properly. Let the truth prevail. The majority of Malays, especially the younger generation, are pathetic. I am NOT racist. Have you heard of the case in UPM? Some 30 Malay a***holes whacked a Chinese feller while uttering racist insults. You haven't heard? That's because our country's media is all government controlled. These fucking fools have the bloody guts to whack their betters because of the government. Let me tell you, if there was a mass migration OUT of Malaysia when it was first formed, Malaysia would have been taken over by singapore already. To know more about the UPM thing, go to http://superjoelkickass.blogspot.com/, and look for the June 3 2007 post. Racial unity? It's as mythical as Cerberus. Hope the effing pigs meet him.

On to corruption. In the papers yesterday was a story about this cop who has RM 27 million in assets. How the hell did he get so much money? It is a FACT that of all government servants, only high ranking govt servants and ministers have the right to be millionaires. They are all as corrupted as Nixon. Even abdul rahman was corupted. So he was a prince. BIG DEAL. If his genes were that good, his family would have held REAL power instead of giving pieces of land away to the British. The excuse for a clean, modest, humble PM was angry because he was charged toll on the Penang bridge. Pay your toll and shut up lah. Who do you think you are? "I work for the people" my arse.

Religion in Malaysia is a bloody joke. It is a fucking good excuse to catch anybody they like for "going against Islamic beliefs". So I want to have premarital sex ( not that I support it). How is that your business? Let me be punished in the afterlife lah. God- fearing, power hungry morons are put in control of the lives of 70% of the population. We'll see who is punished more in the afterlife, you extremist fools or the people who sleep around.

If I get sued for this, I would still like to say, 'It was fun while it lasted'. If I REALLY get sued, it will merely prove my point that Malaysia censors free expression. Recommended viewing: 'Negarakuku' on Youtube.

Freaky Coincidences.....

This happened last Thursday and Friday (20 July 2007). M2, if you're reading this, you know what happened.

Anyway, a girl in my class and I have similarly styled shirts, except that hers is blue and red and mine is black and red. She reached class earlier than me that day (actually everyday) and she was wearing that shirt. So our classmates, knowing that we had similar shirts, bet that I would wear the shirt's counterpart. What do you know, of all shirts, I chose to wear that one. No wonder there was such a warm reception that day. Hmph.

Naturally the ribbing started. Normal teenage behaviour. So what? I thought. Only happens once in a blue moon.

Then the next day, the two of us happened to wear shirts with the same colour combination (red and white). Freaky, eh? And the ribbing continues......

Potty about Potter

He's back. Again. For the 7th (and hopefully last) time.

Who's that, you might ask. HARRY POTTER, that's who.


Honestly, there has been too much hype about him. I've finished all 7 books, and I have to admit, it's been a fun time. Books 3, 5 and 6 were just horrible, but the others were fairly good, with the exception of book 7. This one was great. Still......

Potter's great, but I've read better. Any ardent Potter fans are welcome to send me hate mail, but I still think the Bartimaeus trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud, is loads better. Moving on....

Here's a comment on what happened recently, before HP7 came out. Maybe I'll do a review next time. Here goes:

First, the rumours, i.e purported spoilers and fans' ideas. Some fans' speculation turned out correct, but the majority of spoilers were wrong. These people who post spoilers seem to have nothing better to do besides spoiling people's fun.

Then there was the leakage of the Scholastic version of the book 3 days before the launch. How come this never happened before? There are so many people involved in the publishing and distribution process, don't tell me that God sent his angels down to print the books. With such a massive operation, I'm really surprised this didn't happen earlier (shows the genius of J.K. Rowling's lawyers). I'll have to thank the Time mag for telling me about Mr. Byron Ng. Anyone who wants to download the book, got to The Pirate Bay to download it. It's a PDF file, so everyone should be able to read it.

On Friday, 1 day before the launch, something really unexpected happened. In Malaysia, the RRP for Deathly Hallows is RM 109.90. The major bookstores offered about 10% discount plus some goodies if you pre-ordered the book (I was one of the suckers). Anyway, what happened is that Tesco and Carrefour decided to sell the book at RM 69.90, roughly 30-40% cheaper, and advertised it 24 hours before the launch. Naturally the 3 major bookstores ( MPH, Popular, Times) were pissed off. They paid for the advertising for MONTHS, organised plenty of activities to be held on D-Day, and suddenly 2 fellers drop out of nowhere to hijack all the hard work. So the 3 bookstores decided to throw a tantrum. At 4 p.m, they announced that they were cancelling all activities and sales (except pre-bookings). Now, THAT is fun.

Honestly, this shows the horrible side of human nature. Firstly, the major bookstores were profiteering. I mean, if they were selling at about RM 10 more, I wouldn't complain, but RM 40 more is just ridiculous. Then, the hypermarts took advantage of the bookstores. As it is, the bookstores aren't making much money, now some presumptous people start hijacking their business. AND the distributor says that the hypermarts aren't making money out of selling at such a low price. The bookstores weren't too smart as well, just giving away their business to Tesco and Carrefour. Everyone loses, except the customers who didn't pre-order.

Until next time....... draco dormiens nunquam titillandus

Of Cheese and corn

What happens when you put 20 intelligent students in the same room as a boring lecturer? Obviously no one will pay any attention. That's what happened in Accounts class last Tuesday (17 July). Everyone was trying to alleviate (check the dict if you dont know this word) their boredom by telling all the cheesy jokes or corny IQ (idiot quotient) questions they could think of. Here's a list:

Q: You are in a room with no exit or entrance. There are 5 running taps in the room. You will drown in 1 hour, but rescue will only come in 2 hours. You have a banana and a bar of soap. How do you save yourself?
A: Turn off the taps

Q: What's the difference between falling from the 2nd floor and falling from the 20th floor?
A: 2nd floor : *crash* *scream*
20th floor : * scream* *crash*

Q: Where on your body can you find both Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck?
A: This knee (Disney)

Q: There were 10 fish in an aquarium. 1 died. Why did the water level go up?
A: The other fish were crying.

Q: A man was tied to a tree in a forest full of tigers. His captors tied the other end of the rope to the ground, then put a candle there so that the candle would burn through the rope and cause the man's death. How will the man put out the candle? (He's too far away to spit, pee or whatever on the candle)
A: Sing 'Happy Birthday'. The tigers will blow out the candle.

Here come the REAL IQ questions (only 2 of them i'm afraid)

Q: You have 1 3 gallon container and 1 5 gallon container (with no measurement markings) and an unlimited amount of water. Using this equipment ONLY, how do you get 4 gallons of water
in 1 container?
A: 1. Put 3 gallons into the 5 gallon container (3+0=3). Then fill up the 3 gallon container. Pour
water from the 3 gallon container until the other container is full (3+2=5). There will be 1
gallon left in the 3 gallon container (3-2=1). Pour away the water in the 5 gallon container,
then pour the 1 gallon into the 5 gallon container. Fill up the 3 gallon container then pour
the 3 gallons into the 5 gallon container (1+3=4).
2. Fill the 5 gallon container. Pour water from there into the other container until it is full.
There will be 2 gallons left in the bigger container. Empty the 3 gallon container then pour
the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon container. Fill up the 5 gallon container. Pour water from the
5 gallon container into the other container until the 3 gallon container is full. Hence there
will be 4 gallons in the 5 gallon container.

Q: A knight had to send a message to someone on a mountain. The journey up takes 1 day without rest and the journey down takes the same amount of time. The knight left on a Friday and did not rest throughout the journey up and the journey down. How did he come down on Friday?
A: His horse's name was Friday.

Blue jokes coming up. This is the last section of this post. Feel free to stop reading now.


















Q: What is King Kong's favourite sport?
A: Ta Fei Kei (literally, hitting aeroplanes in cantonese, also slang for masturbation)

Q: A teenager had an affair with a middle-aged woman. They had sex one day. Why did the boy die the next day?
A: He drank expired milk.

TRANSFORMERS ROCKS

TRANSFORMERS: Movie of the Year

It's just so COOL!!!! Nothing like POTC, where the trailer was better than the movie. Transformers has a great trailer and it's an even better movie!!!

It's a little racist though. Lucky Michael Bay didn't elaborate more on that. Remember the scene where the analysts said no one was clever enough to break into the US defense network (or something of the sort)? I'm sure the Iranians and the Chinese wouldn't mind assasinating Bay.

But who cares?

Transformers is still the best movie I've seen this year. Especially the climax of the movie. You know, the huge battle between the Autobots and Decepticons in the city. BRILLIANT.

Even the first 1/2 hour was worth the ticket price. Must have cost US$50 million for that. Worth every cent.

All in all it's a BRILLIANT movie. I'm not going to make this longer because I'm going to watch it again! Aren't you jealous? Cheers!!

Ode to Homework

Homework only brings darkness and strife,
Why does it keep coming into my life?

Free time belongs in heaven,
So long as there's homework i feel beaten.

"It's for your own good" they say,
Yet "No more homework" I pray.

I'm waiting for the day,
When homework is gone and I can come out to play.............

Rubbish homework

Hmph. Here's some news for everyone out there who knows me (or just anyone who is reading this)......I have ZERO creativity. So HOW ON EARTH am I supposed to do my homework?

This is what happened:
For ESL class today, the lecturer gave us this question for homework: "Three Pebbles" Write an outline for a short story.

That's it. Now, what can you DO with 3 pebbles?

NOTHING.

PRECISELY.

So how?

There were once 3 pebbles named SAM, A-Levels and ICPU. One day, their mother, Taylor's College, brought them to the beach. SAM immediately started walking into the sea. Guess why? STRESS and STUPIDITY.

!@#$%^&*!@#@ .......... Back to work..............

Cheers!!
