they said that people who has a lot of time,
normally don't have a lot to say.

and the one who has a lot to say,
often couldn't find time to say it.

Work has been taxing.
Plus, I'm trying to live without internet these days.
(After working hours that is..)

Yeah, what an excuse you'd say.

Today is the last day of 2009,
Tomorrow comes 2010!

A New Year is...

A time
to celebrate
yesterday’s successes
and tomorrow’s opportunities.

A time
to be grateful
for family and friends,
for good times and good fortune,

A time
to look
with anticipation toward
hopes and dreams come true.

Wishing you a new year
filled with exciting possibilities
and all the rewards
of true happiness.


Cheers,

Advice

Dear John,

I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV, My car stalled, and then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter!

I'm 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having affair for the past six months. He wont go to counseling, and I'm afraid I'm a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Sheila

Dear Sheila,

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it's clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps,

John

Life is a confidence trick!

Having confidence is like having an erection of the personality. Some can sustain their confidence almost indefinitely, others have it for a few seconds before they revert to feeling small and embarrassed.

They said that confidence is self-perpetuating. Create some and soon you'll have more. Don't worry if you don't know how, I've learned that you can gain confidence by drinking.

Alcohol help you lose the 3 big confidence inhibitors:

1. your self-doubt

2. your self-awareness

3. your pathetically underpowered personality.

However, there is a fine line of doing it. Overdo it and you'll end up losing it.

Losing confidence is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. One moment you have it and can charm the birds out of the trees. The next you've lost it and you're being shat on by every bird in the tree.

You get the idea..

We cant polish a turd

Have been busy at work,
Learned that we can't polish a turd, BUT we can always roll it in glitter.
AND Sis lend me this Spongebob,
whenever I presses the nose it makes those emo noises, had a good laugh =)
Reminds me of Chris *grins*

haven't had internet access these days..
quick updates,

Came across Champagne & Handcuff by Alan Ardy.

Enjoy.

... "I love your poem – send me more!” you said,
Even though it urged you into my bed.

Or even the stairs or the kitchen floor
And then perhaps up against the fridge door!

Then whispering your name and holding you tight,
Asleep in my arms far into the night.

But a crucial point I’m eager to stress,
Even though I’d love to help you undress,

Is that my focus isn’t between your thighs
But somewhere behind your beautiful eyes. ...

Oh, and Happy birthday Jc,

noticed the strange expression? (No, its not me or my lame joke, I swear!)

Message to a neighbour

Living in city means we had to make do with strangers living around us. We called them - neighbours. (sometimes housemates if you rent a room) You learn to hate them when you had to hear what they do, from their arguments to their television to them making out, etc..

At times, you need to put on earplugs when you go to bed, but you can't be doing that on a weekday because, how are you going to wake up the next day?

Behold, the subtle way to remind the neighbor to keep it low..

Tired Mind

Above picture kinda describe what I'm experiencing now..

Trying to catch up with work thus have not been indulging in thinking lately,

OK. back to work..

Work is

Work is (___fill in the blank___)

For me, media planning is like proposing a plan. A picture that worth ten thousand words.. and after much hard work, your client buys the idea, and then they start to believe in using the picture and words at the same time.. and then not, and then maybe just the picture, maybe not..

Here's a poem for you guys in this industry.

When the client moans and sighs
Make his logo twice the size.
When the client's hopping mad,
Put his picture in the ad.
If he still should prove refractory
Add a picture of his factory

-Anonymous

I think that working in media agency resembles acting in a play. You know, just like in the opera when a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding,

he sings.

Social life

Just when I thought that I hardly have a social life, my mate called me up for a night out the other day but then I was too tired. My apologies.

I tend to wake up early in the morning and bid my bed farewell to prepare for work. After the long hours at work, the first thing you think of after dinner probably is your bed too right? ... Ok, maybe not.

And then it hit me that it's not just me that has got problem with my bed. I remembered what Guy Browning said in his book, that children have to go to bed, and their parents have to put them to bed, then, there is old people who wants to go to bed, and how young lovers don't want to get out of bed..

Thus by definition, it should be safe saying that people with a social life are those who have a dysfunctional relationship with their bed?

What the heck.. Things have been great this week.. Quite happening I must say.. from Oriental Daily dinner to Media Prima screening to Kancil Awards to Tanjung Sepat day-trip and then All-American Rejects tonight!

I've got some tickets to spare.

Call me. You know you want to :D

Why did the emo kid cross the road?

Hope the picture above tells you a little bit about what an emo is.

Now here's some emo jokes..

How many emo kids does it take to screw in a light bulb?
3. One to replace it, & two to write a poem about how they miss the old one.

What do you say to an emo kid to make him cry outside the mall?
Anything.

So, an emo kid walks into a bar…
Then he quickly leaves to go home and write in his Livejounal about it.

How can you tell it’s an emo guy hitting on you and not a regular dude?
Instead of asking for your phone number, he asks for your poetry blog.

Why do emo kids always take the flight that leaves at midnight?
They prefer to take the red-eye.

What’s the difference between emo grass and normal grass?
Emo grass cuts itself.

What did the emo kid say to the other emo kid?
“Stop crying. You’re stealing all of the negative attention.”

What do emo kids use as birth control?
Their personalities.

If a blonde and an emo jump off a bridge, who drowns first?
The blonde- from the emo’s tears on the way down.

“Tickle Me Elmo was so last year. Now it’s…Cry With Me Emo!”

and by now, you should know why did the emo kid cross the road.

To get a box of tissues of course!

Attention Seeker

One says "if you hold yourself back because you're afraid of looking stupid, you'll never be the center of attention." Great, that just explains what we had to endure on a daily basis.. coping with the attention seeker.

So you want to know what's a good word for an attention seeker or someone who's very "needy"?

...

Drama queen lah..

Or if you happened to ask your boyfriend/girlfriend for their opinion,

the answer would probably = (__fill in your name__)

Ok, It's just a joke, don't be so uptight. =)

Officially Missing You <3

Youth

I'm working on youth project currently and one of the interesting thing to share is the definition of youth.

According to Wikipedia, Youth is the period between childhood and adulthood, described as the period of physical and psychological development from the onset of puberty to maturity and early adulthood.

Definitions of the specific age range that constitutes youth varies. An individual's actual maturity may not correspond to their chronological age, as immature individuals exists at all ages. I like the last part - Immature individuals exist at all ages.

Understanding the youth these days is so tricky. You have to really put yourself in their shoes. In order to do that, you need to think like one. Better still, act like one.

So before you set out and tell the youngsters that you understand them, ask yourself this:

Do you call your home - my crib?

Do you use the word Chill or Chillin?

Do you have bling-bling?

You get the idea..

Serve it right

I dump all the chilled beers in the sink, pour in some ice. Light my ciggy and enjoy a good smoke while waiting for it to get real chilled before enjoying my 'refreshed' beers. It goes down real smooth if it's real cold.

The question some ask,

does beer taste better near frozen?

I see promotions for 0 degree beers! How about that!

Right, unless you like the taste of water, you don't want your beer to be served in frozen glasses! or what ever 0 degree beers.. Norly, the beer won't taste exactly like water but being ultra cold really does dull the flavor and aroma of the beers.

So at what temperature should we serve our beer? The rough guide suggests that for German beer or American lager, we should serve it fridge cold. If it's bigger craft beer, we serve it at fridge temp. And if it's a huge barleywine, imperial stout or belgian quad, serve it at cellar temp(50-60°F).

Seriously, I dont think you'd bothered much after the fourth, or is it fifth pint? oh nevermind.. after all, Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no, while drunkenness expands, unites and says yes!

(P/S. I drink responsibly.)

Tongue twister - Why is it so hard to say?

Try these fast

She sells seashells by the seashore.

The shells she sells are surely seashells.

So if she sells shells on the seashore,

I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

So why is it so damn hard to say "She sells seashells by the seashore" five times fast?

When researchers at the University of Illinois asked college students to read tongue twisters alongside everyday sentences, they found that in addition to being difficult to say, these dastardly phrases take longer to write on paper.

What does this mean? That we trip over tongue twisters because they trigger a cognitive failure, not a physical failure.

And now that your tongue is off the hook, it can get back to failing at foreplay.

Petronas Deepavali Ad

The PETRONAS festive tv commercials are among the most anticipated by the Malaysian during festive periods.

LoL for Muthusamy Karuppiah!

Happy Deepavali chaps!

G - Force

A group of guinea pigs trained by the government to work in espionage, armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, soon discover that the fate of the world is in their paws.

Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster, an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles, the computer and information specialist.

Along the way, the G-Force encounters myriad other members of the animal kingdom, including pet shop layabout Hurley and the rabidly territorial hamster Bucky. 10 minutes into the movie and you'll have your favourite hamster. I'm partial to Juarez. Check out the trailer here

Media Planning at it's best?

This is Lynx

You get the idea..

moob

What is a moob?

A moob is a term used for a man with man-breast, or man-boobs. Hence the shortened name - "moobs"

Take a look below for different type of moobs.

and the advertisement about it..

Facebook group, random post

While checking out Facebook group, it came to my discovery that not everyone logs into the group often enough even when they're a member of a group.

Ask yourself when is the last time you log into your Facebook group? I for one, would normally joined, look around and try to take part in discussions then forgets about it after a week or two. My own gaming group generally died due to lack of updates.

Oh well.. not exactly, sometimes I do get some jackass who abuse the wall post to seek attention. Like the average tard, these people doesn't have an obvious motive in the group. I'd always assume that these people were not given enough attention when they were young. Probably so few it hardly manage to confirm their worth as human.

I think that if we want to make people engage actively in a group, we'll need something different, maybe some genre that will encourage the members to automatically generates topics. Something that will engage them, captivate them, make them come back for more..

Maybe.. Sexology is a good idea..

Oops..

(Okay, I'm totally knackered and I don't know what I'm talking about..)

What's wrong with that?

I was walking in the 1Utama shopping mall and then I realized that I am going in the wrong direction. What I did, I turned over and walked back to where I came from. I realized that some people behind me saw what happened and I absofreakinglutely can tell, that they were amused.

Alright, I'm freaking sure that this happened to you too, that you walked the wrong direction and when you realized that, some of you instead of just turning over and walk back from where you came from, you stood there for a while pretending to look for directions, or check your watch, or phone and some of you even walked the whole round just so that it seem like you know where you were going.

Yeah, I can see that some of you are laughing now, losers!

How things work

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.

And that, my friend, is how company policy begins.
