• I can’t speak good Britain. Well Britain slang is kind of sexy. If u put it up against my 'Rojak' English (popularly known as Manglish although what I speak is probably more of 'Chimanglish’, which is the fusion of Chinese, Malay and English), that’s going to be a huge problem.
• I hope to travel around the world in 80 days. If not, well, at least New York City, the most beguiling city in the world. Even in the aftermath of the World Trade Center's collapse, New York remains a unique and fascinating city.
• I can see myself at the spa now drinking iced tea imported from England next to a lifeguard imported from Spain and wrapped up in a towel imported from Turkey while eating turkey imported from Maine!
• I'm a foodie. I love Mamak food as much as I love my Chinese food. I love Aneh's Teh Tarik and Mak Cik's Nasi Lemak. I feel kind of naked and incomplete without them.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road

As I was walking back from college to the LRT station today, an amusing sight caught my eye. Instant Déjà Vu – a chicken was stumbling across the road in the conventional awkward chicken-stumble.

That brings us back to the age old joke: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Bird brains. And I don’t mean the chicken either. The chicken crossed the road simply because it wanted to cross the road. The thought processes of the fowl registered an impulse informing it of the necessity to cross the road, hence it crossed the road. It could have been frightened, it could have merely been taking a leisurely stroll (goodness knows what goes on in the minds of poultry) but whatever it’s – the chicken crossed the road because it wanted to.

If someone holding you at gun point insisted you cross the road, it doesn’t mean you were forced to cross the road. You crossed the road because you wanted to preserve your own life; therefore crossing the road was your own decision.

Beside, it’s a violation of privacy. Why on earth would anyone want to know why the chicken really crossed the road for? What happened to chicken-rights? Well, I presume they’ve yet to be invented, but it’s still very rude to interfere in a decent chicken’s affairs, especially when the poor capon didn’t do any harm and was merely crossing the road in what is deemed an appropriate fashion for law-abiding citizens… err… chickizens?!?

Stop condemning the unfortunate chicken. Live and let live. If it wishes to cross the road, permit it to do so as an act of goodwill. Only when that happens will we be one step closer to achieving the impossible mission of world peace.

Summer Movies

Well yesterday I went to Pavilion with my buddies. Honestly speaking, this is the first time I went there because I’ve living under the coconut shell all this while.

We watched Get Smart. I’d say it’s a must-see movie. I’ve been watching a lot of blockbusters lately and will comment each of the movies I’ve watched in these few days.

Get Smart

This movie was funny from start to end. Steve Carell and The Rock both acted great, not to mention Anne Hathaway was hotter and prettier than ever and kept our eyes constantly fixed at the screen while Steve Carell was making us roll on the floor laughing! A must see for anybody who loves comedy films or just wants to have a great time! I’m pretty sure you might be dying from a laughing coma.

The Incredible Hulk

Marvel Studios did a good job in this movie. This movie erased all the bad memories I had of Ang Lee's version of The Hulk in 2003. The movie was very well-paced and, of course, action-packed. Loved all the fighting scenes. All I’ve to say is that this is a great movie. If you want to have great time, then this is the movie to see.

Kung Fu Panda

Jack Black is really funny in this movie. I never really lost interest at all. The storyline really is about finding the warrior within which is a great theme. This movie has great fighting scenes, humor life like animation and plot. I recommend it highly! And yeah, I love Po.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

This movie is horrible, I'm sorry to say so but it’s. The story is almost completely altered and not for the better. People who haven't read the book may like it, the ones who have read the book will not.

I'm a Visionary Philosopher... You?

I'm a Visionary Philosopher? What's this nonsense? I must say it does give me some ego boost. But I don't have exceptional verbal skills.

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

The Classic IQ Test

My Result: Visionary Philosopher

Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher.



In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life's situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind.
Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type.



Whatever you decide to do in life, you've got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example, if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day.

What are you?

If the result is true, I might sweeping the floors in Harvard University now. What did u expect? Then again, their cleaners may have Degrees in Hotel Management.

Daddy cool

It’s Daddy’s Day.

I’m sure everyone knows the significance of today. Well dads rock seriously. They still hold true to their actions and beliefs although both of those sometimes invite contempt from us, the Generation Y (Gen Y).

Anyway, my family celebrated Daddy's Day in some Chinese restaurant. Can’t recall the name though. Doesn't matter. After packing everyone into the Mazda, we went straight to the steamboat restaurant located at Bandar Menjalara.

As I arrived, I was taken aback to see the crowd there. People came in droves and packed like sardines.

There’s nothing much to say actually. Just a normal 'makan' session. With lots and lots of scrumptious food. I ate till I feel like puking. Well, I think I ate the most since the rest of my family members don't seem to possess my eating prowess. I’ve a big appetite. I can eat like a pig and still come out like a twig.

The food we ate consist of some Yong Tau Foo imported from Ampang, assorted vegetables, fish dumplings, prawns, fish balls, mini Chinese sausages and meatballs, etc… Ah, love those stuff...

Guess that's all. I’m still full now, though dinner is a two-hour-ago affair. Apparently, lifesaving doesn't exactly speed up digestion. Adversely however, felt a little nauseous during lifesaving.

But thank god I didn't puke. That would be embarrassing even for my standards.

Happy Father's Day

Graduation

And so it was, yet another round of graduation. And this time it’s my turn.

Ah... such warmth, to see my course mates grinning like fools and holding their heads high and proud and basking in their achievements. I’ve eventually graduated from TARC after partying studying hard for the past 18 months.

No more crowded campus, no more parking in China, no more avoiding heavy traffic on campus. It’s just peace and tranquility.

It's always a recurring theme for me, which I'm sure resonates with the rest of the students here on campus; we dread the times when classes are in session and relish the times when it's not. I love the long breaks as much as my friends, if not, more so.

Well, my college life started off to be really adventurous. The studying environment there was quite okay but it's challenging and full of obstacles. The life in college was really hectic and tired. But I’m glad and grateful that I can make it through the rain in these 18 months.

Now, I really miss all my friends back in college, where everyone gets along like one big family. We had fun, we had joy, and we had sessions in TARC. I truthfully believe that TARC is really a special school. Everyone lives and shares problems like a family.

To all the graduating class of 2008, all the best in your future endeavors.

And yeah, SJ8P rocks.

I speak General American English

So I guess I'm not quite as Americanized yet since I haven't been to the States.

In case you're wondering, I hope to pursue my studies in Stanford University, live in Beverly Hills, work in Silicon Valley and err.. die in California...

So what kind of American English do you speak?

85% General American English 5% Upper Midwestern 5% Yankee 0% Dixie 0% Midwestern

Exam

I burned my dawn oil every day. Studying at the eleventh hour till three in the morning. Trying very hard to understand and write reasonable, understandable answers.

I don't know - it might have been

a) the lack of sleep

b) the incredible consumption of caffeine or

c) the tense atmosphere in the room

But after months of suffering in agony, I’m pleased to inform you that my exam is OFFICIALLY over. I repeat it's over! No more pile of notes, highlighted textbooks and old exam papers. WOO HOO…

Thinking about it I don't even know whether I can obtain fabulous results or not. Physics and Chemistry were bad. I rushed like crazy through them and made a lot of erroneous mistakes. Well one hour and 45 minutes is insufficient for dumb people like me. My maths was okay. Not too bad and not too great.

It's really annoying because one mistake can cost you a bomb so you can go from an A to a U (Ungraded) without even trying. I can't really tell how well I did until I get the results back, which will be out in this August.

After I got my ass out of the exam hall, everyone was saying things like 'That question about the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance! What did you put?' and 'The Differential Equation? Sin of course. You put Cos ah? Wrong la!' and 'What about the protein structure?' and 'I put abnormal proteins!'

Total silence.

I’d stop elaborate about it no mo

I was seriously being an unsatisfied brat for a few days complaining to any one who’d listen and contemplating walk-in retake. But I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth it. Really it isn't. 20 pounds for another 50-50 chance at getting an A, which is quite impossible for me unless I toil really hard.

Help needed.

Welcome

After months of persuasion from my peers, I finally decided to be part of the blogging world.

This blog is not born out of boredom or out of an innate need to tell the world about my dull and uninteresting life. Instead, it's born to update my friends and family on my life.

I’ve blogged before, moving from one address to another without telling anyone which kinda pissed everyone off I think. So here I'll try to stay for a while and hopefully you will visit often.

Well just give me time I'll develop this so called "empty shelter" of mine.

So yeah, link me to your own blogs.

Hi to the world!
