i got a pair of 8's and nothing else, what'ya got?

a simple game, 5 card draw. call it..

i think its about time i started taking my blog seriously, i used to average 1.3 post a day with my old blog. what happened la (besides the obvious of NOTHING)?

time for an update. lets see, where do i start;

okay, in total i've sent out 243 resumes, with only one interview call. i've gone for 3 walk in interviews, 3 interviews with job agencies (all 3, same agency) and i'm registered with 3 different agencies. i've sent 197 online applications, with almost all of them no replies. just a few coming back with the standard 'although your resume was impressive, we've choosen to go in a different direction....' replies.

FUCK YOU TOO...

Enzo is spoilt. mom, dad and brother thinks he is the golden dog decended from the heavens to enchant our lives. he has been sleeping on my moms bed for the past 2 weeks, he has literally bitten everything in sight and reach of his puny little mouth. he has pissed and pooped every inch of the house. though his ticks and flees are no more i still feel like squeezing the mutt when he sleeps on my bed. stupid dog!!! he forgets i am KING of the house. oh and he likes batman the animated series.

i can now be officially considered FAT and BROKE.

Navein is returning from UK tomorrow. though for only 2 weeks, it'll be great to see that over grown monkey again. he should be on the flight by now.

i've started writing a lot. sometimes i look like a serious writer, with my cigar and crystal ashtray, oh and brandy next to me, i want Tequila instead!

my phone is barred so anyone expecting a return call from me can wait for the moon to melt.

badminton isn't exactly helping my psychical state. my right arm hurts and completely lacks the strength to lift a jug filled with water. my heel is still hurting badly too, i think i have an Achilles Heel condition, my mom forgot to bath my heels in the magic river also.

speaking of Achilles, i finally watched Troy yesterday and dying to watch HBO's Rome also another series called 'Commander in Chief' staring Geena Davis as the first American Woman President. oh btw, did you anyone know Geena Davis has the IQ of a genius? speaking of things i wanna watch, i wanna watch Justice League and Samurai Jack uninterupted and this new animation called Avatar on Nickelodeon.

i downloaded 'Moment in the Sun' and completely understood what it was all about but just couldn't even remotely relate to it, 25 fucking years being alive and at the moment i can't even say;

How beautiful I'll be
but in a normal sort of way,
like I am you and you are me...

and when it hit the end where Clem Snide goes;

When it's my moment in the sun
I won't forget that I am blessed
but every hero walks alone
thinking of more things to confess...

for some fucking reason my eyes lite up and my spirits were calm, just as i was about dwell into what he just said, 'Viva La Rasaaaa' screamed on my computer. a life so far back, yet not to far to turn back; 'I lie, I cheat, I steal...'

my house has been pouring in with wedding invitations from friends and family. since i'm not really interested in going to any one of them, here's to the newly weds;

'I hope that their first child be a masculine child...' - Luca Brasi

heahaheahehae, the words; 'Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes tonight' come to mind too but thats another story, not today.

btw, does everyone have a favorite tv theme (anyone don't have one, i can recommend a few)? i think everyone should a favorite. nope instead i think everyone must have a favorite, it should be mandatory like you new MyKad or else Paul Nipkow and John Logie Baird will be kicking themselves in cable heavens.

peace out...

Enzo

all he does is bite that bite this....


scratch here and scratch there


oh and this is what happens when he misbehaves.


then bite us again...


then give us the puppy dog face...oh wait, he is a puppy dog.

combustion quest

so as i was sitting on the sofa last week, seeing that my parents had taken Enzo with them leaving me to myself, something came over me and i ran away from home. yup you read it correctly...

so i drove up to Ipoh and spent the night in Mohan's place. man i have to say, i love your house though it is a little big for my liking. oh and trust me, i really didn't wanna pretend to be such a nice guy infront of your parents it just happened =P. we spent the night talking and talking and talking and boy was there so much to talk about. somehow i think there is still stuff to talk about, eh dude? well anyways it was nice to see your face, hope i'll see it again.

so then the next morning, despite sleeping at almost 4a.m., after watching Exorcism of Emily Rose, i got up at around 7a.m. and drove up to Penang, where i spent the next 2 days with a 3000pieces jigsaw puzzle but my aunty and i only finished like one fifth of it.

on saturday i was back in KL and so the journey continues. my friend Mohan went back to the UK before that i drove him to Prem's house, met Prem's mom and sister (who reminds me of Rapunzel, cause of her hair). played badminton on sunday, sucked extremely and slept for the rest of my days...

a new addition to the family

tattoo SIFU...@#$%^&

so yesterday, i was at the post office waiting my turn, when this elderly uncle (the tattoo sifu, read on and you'll understand why) approaches me;

'is that a real tattoo boy?'

(do i farking look like i was gonna get a phony tattoo on my wrist but obviously to this guy)

'errmm..yeah it is'

still not leaving me to my business, at 9am i am still not in a very chaty mood, not that i am always in one, especially to nosy old uncles

'must have been expensive, i hear tattooes are expensive?'

(oh god, goooo awayyyy...why not ask me if it hurt)

'it is'

so for the next 7 minutes the uncle continues to bug me about his theories on tattooes and about people who get them;

1. women who get tattooes are hot
2. hot women who get tattooes are horny
3. Indian women who get tattooes are sluts
4. guys who get tattooes are trying to prove something
5. Indian guys who get tattooes are in a gang
6. rowdy looking Indian guys who get tattooes, sure ex-convict

you farking idiot, you better have a tattoo hidden somewhere up your butt to be such an expert on tattooes, you 50 year old fart, i hope you get murdered by an ex-convict in your home while watching Astro.

p.s; HE WAS INDIAN!!!!!!

the things i learnt today...

having not slept since last night, i left for Toyota service centre about 7am, on the way there i saw a beige Volvo S40 next champaigne Fiat Marea at a traffic light (God hates me). well, reaching there at 7.20, i was the first customer. which was great, change one left front absorber and tyre. how long can it take...

8.15am
*83 Toyota's had already pulled into the service centre and 51 of them were Vios'
*i had to explain 3 times to the service engineer what needed to be done with my tyre

9.15am
*all none moveable items (such as TYRES AND ABSORBERS) are not kept in house, there are stored in their warehouse in farking Sg. Buloh

10am
*my car is still waiting for its parts

10.30am
*finally met someone with the same enthusiasm for cars in a service centre

11am
*absober had been changed but now sitting in the bay for a tyre

12pm
*it has been a long time since i had roti canai
*i think i am dyslexic when it comes to reading Malay (Utusan Melayu newspaper at the mamakstall)

1.20pm
*saw my car leaving the service centre, probably for a test drive

1.30pm
*saw my car leave again

1.40pm
*saw my car leave again

1.50pm
*saw my car leave again

2pm
*saw my car leave again

2.02pm
*note to self: not even Ralf Schumacher goes out this many times to test 1 piece Goodyear 15 inch tyres.

2.05pm
*service engineer tells me my car is ready but it'll take until 3pm for it to be washed...'kita bukan saja kena cuci encik punya kereta sahaja...'

2.10pm
*note to self(loud enough for entire service centre to hear): SEVEN HOURS TO CHANGE ONE ABSORBER AND ONE PIECE TYRE, THEN ONE HOUR TO WASH MY CAR? doesn't that sound ridiculous...

the next halfhour
*spent in the managers room, with a chilled box drink of Yeos Soya Bean, telling him how ridiculous it sounds that they needed 7hours to change two of the most easiet changeable parts. had 3 service engineers come up and say you're car will be ready in a couple of minutes.

poor manager, it was his first day taking charge at this branch and he had me to come in this morning but it was nice of him to give me his personal number to call the next time i am coming in. so all the time i spent in Toyota i leave and i realized that the whole time i was there i was really not bothered about anything, cause i was only thinking about her.

i go over to my tint man, put up the 8inch tint above the front windshield, he tells me about his new arrivals. side rear views cover with turn signals, gotta get it next month. i reach home, around 5 and there it was 'Save The Last Dance' playing (God really hates me). time to just sleep...

p.s; Happy Birthday, my Princess...

that'll do pig...

MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 CHELSEA

i think i should criticize them more often for the way they play, then they'll win more games, eh...

somber season..

i'm the biggest sports nut i know, i watch all kinds of sports but my true passion lies with Formula One and a distant second Man Utd. i've been following them since the days of Sharpe, Hughes, Mclair and Bruce. seeing one the best Formula One seasons ever finish last month, i've got nothing much to look forward to but football. oh yeah though Michael Schumacher and Ferrari had the worst season since 1999 (when he broke a hig in Silverstone) i still thought it was unbelievable the way Alonso took on the giant McLarens and the Iceman. one of the best moves ever in the history of Formula One, Alonso on Schumacher at 130r Suzuka, on the outside, fuck me heaven doors that took balls. okay okay, before i go too far into F1...

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MANCHESTER UNITED?????!!!!

its not like they lack in quality, serious shit they're packing some mighty mean players, Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ronaldo, Scholes, Ferdinand. i mean just cause a few are out injured shouldn't affect the way the team plays. since the day Giggs and Keane joined Man Utd they've been two of the most influencial players on the pitch, if they are in the zone, there is no stopping the Red Devils.

i used to hate Gary Nevile, cause he made some of the worst mistakes and then yell though it wasn't his fault. but last year he proved why he is Ferguson's number one choice rightback, so now he is injured, but hey there is still quality in the squad, there's O'Shea, i've seen him run circles around Luis Figo before. Alan Silvestre, one hell of leftback he should take over for the injured Heinze, middle i've got no idea what is wrong with Ferdinand, he is fucking up far too many times, he looks more comfortable taking the ball forward from behind, rather than bringing it under his authority when its brought into his yard. Fergie's got his work cut out for him.

MU had one of the most feared midfields in Europe. with Keane and Scholes in total command of central, Beckham and Giggs flawless on the flanks, today, with Keane and Giggs injured, Scholes suspended, Beckham sold (which i still think is United's worst decision ever) clubs like Middlesborough are running thru the middle like hot knife thru butter. we've got Alan Smith, not too shaby but he's got a lot to learn if he's gonna be the holding midfield player. Darren Fletcher? what is he doing out on the filed? he is clueless as to what is the idea of the game? got skills doesn't cut it. i think Veron did a better job than him. but you know seriously, ever since Paul Ince left, Keane did a wonderful job and no one else can seem to fill his shoes, there was Veron, there was Djemba Djemba, there was Luke Chadwick, oh god this is horrible..

upfront is even worst, Ronaldo and Rooney, great penetrating the defence of other teams but they forget that they are flank players, the man upfront is you connection, FOR FUCK SAKES GIVE HIM SERVICE, instead these guys are going for glory without any AFFECT AT ALL. we've got Nistelrooy in the best form he has ever been in years, up front alone without service. Alex Ferguson keeps forgeting, he is not Thiery Henry, he can make the goal happen, not all the time, he is dangerous in the 6 yard box and outside his efforts are futile, so get you flank players to to give him more serivce. and the 4-5-1 formation sucks, go for the 3-5-2, strengthen your defence, and get someone to help out Nistelrooy. Saha is out injured and poor Solkjaer still not recovered yet.

its really getting embarrassing to see Man Utd lose out to clubs like Boro 4-0 and Lille 1-0. the players are really playing as though they are demotivated or something. its like they wanna lose, just putting up a game just for showing up sake, thats not football, least not the Old Trafford way...

so much for Deepavali...

this is really turning out to be a fucked up year for celebrations. at the beginning of the year, Ricardo told me that his birthday is a day after Deepavali, which is really no big deal, cause most of the times its somewhere around the corner from Deepavali and we usually get drunk at my house. then this year my paternal grandma died, so no party. but hey, i thought might as well spend sometime with him today, maybe go for a drink or something..BOOM one of my relatives past away earlier, so now i have to attend a funeral. sorry dude, my relatives are all dying on me, we'll do something tomorrow.

weird, there's been too many funerals on bdays, i remember 2 years ago one of my friends, Khuen's dad dies on my bday. yesterday my aunty tells me my maternal grandma isn't exactly in the best of shape as well, it could just turn there's no Deepavali next year as well,oh yeah the 'death is apart of life' remark comes to mind, but in all due respect, FUCK YOU, GRIM!

Ricardo

Happy 25 dude...

here's to older, fatter and balder
