T-minus 38 days

With Sept 19th a month a couple of days away, i find that..

• There are more and more things that i want to do here.

• Time is going the other direction.

And there lies our problem.

RATS..


I still can't find the laptop i really want.. well in truth i did find several that was too my liking, only to be put off by several hardware issues that plague those laptops. It's been months since the search began and its frustrating although its now down to a particular model I'm currently looking at. Lets see how that goes..

I want to go on a trip to Redang/Perhentian/THE ISLAND(Lost)/whatever that has a nice beach, crystal clear waters and lots of fun in the sun. But i don't know if things will work out. It would be great to to enjoy some sun and the sea before heading for the "I'm-going-to-get-seasonal-depression-land".


For those who don't know, I'm headed to the UK on a 1 year-loan to Arsenal FC to provide additional cover as ball boy for the upcoming season (yes the squad depth is THAT thin now) I pledge to throw the ball back in Ronaldo's face when we're leading 1-0 up at the Emirates with minutes left on the clock...



Unfortunately none of what i just said is true. (except the duration, and the score)


I'll be studying for a degree in Marketing and Advertising @ the University of Hertfordshire, and i thank God and those whom have all made it possible. =D





Time to bring some "Ong" to the Emirates which the Gunners lack in crucial periods last season =P





... i hope

and the cow rolled across the street hence..

The door creeks open as i stepped into the room. Abandoned and neglected, it was left in a corner amongst the cobwebs. I brushed off the layer of dust on it, and fired it up..

it coughed, and died.

i fired it up once more..

it coughed again and then sputtered to life..

I smiled as it looked at me.

Then it smacked me.

"About time ya lazy scumbag!"

It kicked me.

And i kicked it back.

How fun.

*Better late than never..*

"...Welcome back."

I could not resist, so i kicked it once more XD

it's fun to abuse your blog sometimes, and besides, it could use a little kick or two to get it started again..

maybe three..

or four..

Football Stuff for the Lads

Sigh.
As much as i hate Chelsea and their money throwing mafia boss. (not as much as spurs XD) i liked his antics and ego. Clearly a loss of a character from the EPL and a great loss for Chelsea.

Now stuff that amused me today::

The Curse of Sri Rampai Station - Chapter 2

Leong stares into space. Sitting in the last train along with few other passengers, he flips through his books he had just borrowed from the library for the coming exams. Night classes are just so tedious and not to mention draining as well when you spend the whole day at college.

'stesyen berikutnya... wangsa maju.'

'next station... wangsa maju.'

Great, finally... can't wait to get back to the apartment and get on to the books after a nice bath and supper. Just one more paper to go and I'll be free!

He peered out the window as he noticed trails of raindrops form as it started to drizzle. Flashes of lightning illuminated the tracks and he saw- a face staring back at him. He reeled back in shock as the thunder boomed causing the other passengers in the train to jump for that moment. As he summoned enough courage to look out and confirm what he had saw, the train entered the tunnel, soon to pass the abandoned Sri Rampai station.

As he turned back away from the window a sudden jolt shook the train causing some to fall off their seats. Leong tried to grab his bag but failed as it flew out of his grasp landing on the floor of the train at the doorway. The train then slowly grinded to a halt leaving the passengers puzzled and dazed as they try to make sense of the events that had occurred.

'Perhaps it was the lightning.' A lady remarked.

Leong picked up the books that fell out of his bag when it landed on the floor. Then the doorway opened to a dark platform. Illuminated only by the streetlights on the road at a distance, Leong tried to make of the surroundings. He picked up the last book and closed his sling bag. The passengers were curiously looking out to the platform but none tried to step out of the train.

'Where are we? This is not Wangsa Maju.'

'I think.. this is the Sri Rampai Station, but it is not in use. See here on the train line map, it is marked out.'

The passengers started to murmur amongst themselves while some took out their hand phones and began to make calls and send text messages. Leong stuck his head out to look around from the doorway. The air was getting stuffy in the train and the breeze of the coming storm was inviting. Stepping out for some air, he took a few steps and tripped on something. He could not see it in the dark and it sent him to the ground.

'ding dong, ding dong'

And the doors of the trained closed as it came to live with Leong trying to pick himself up in panic and the passengers staring at him in surprise. The train moved away from the track as he tried to open the doors with his hands but to no avail.

'Rats! I guess I'll have to wait for the next train.'

The storm began to pick up as the rain and wind grew stronger. Leong stepped away from the edge of the track and sat on the bench as rain carried by the wind began to reach him. The strong winds began to make howling sounds along the corridor.

'It's 15 minutes already, where is that next train? Wait, crap! that WAS the last train.'

Leong got up and started to look for an exit

'I'll just have to get out of here and walk till i see a taxi. This is really not my day..'

He walked toward the stairs and started to jog up looking at his bag to make sure his strap is fastened so that the books won't fall out again. As he glanced toward to top of the stairs he saw a figure. A girl. That face..

Leong jumped and tumbled back down the stairs. The figure began to move, the face fixated on him. Leong began to panic. He got on his feet and began to turn and run around the stairs looking for the stairs on the other side of the station. He tripped, his feet caught by something.

His bag landed on the floor and slid away. Leong turned around to see- a hand, clutching firmly around his ankles. The floor felt cold and wet like mud and then, he realized. Fresh cement. A face began to break the surface and the face staring at him as the hand began to pull him down towards her. Leong screamed as the lightning flashed and he saw. He sank deeper into the floor as the girl began to climb further closer to his face. Leong screamed in terror but within seconds his screams were drowned as he disappeared beneath the surface of the floor.

'Daddy, where are we?'

'I think we are at the Sri Rampai Station Zara.'

What happened? why did the train stop here?

Several passengers began to make calls and type out text messages.

'Hey i can't make calls. Whats going on!?'

'I've got no signal on my phone, how about you?'

Passengers on the train began to stir and some stepped out onto the platform trying to get a signal on their hand phones. I stepped out cautiously, holding Zara close to me as i took out my cellphone and dialed home.

'Hey! whats that on the floor!?' A man pointed at a distance.

I turned to look. In the dark it was hard identify what it was but at the distance, it looked like... A bag.

Look forward to seeing what you will write next Lukas. I've already did you a favor by editing out the raunchy sex scene on the train which would have instantly made it a Hollywood blockbuster. =P Try to resist the urge to insert musicals and dance scenes especially along the likes of dancing around trees and rolling down hills sort. Oh, you can ask me if you would like to know what Leong saw when he screamed in terror. Or perhaps you've already guessed it lol.

When the Dust Settles

Ahh doesn't feel great to have a holiday finally? ... that is until you realize that once again it's only going to be a moment ... a short moment in fact. damn.

Kick started celebrations to the holiday by finally going to the class semester end bbq poolside party that i've all missed since the start of the course. Had quite a blast especially into the pool though... WHERE ARE THE BIKINI GIRLS!? Where's the BEER!? THE WEED !? The.. ahh ran out of vices to think of for the moment. Instead we've got a scantily clad and awfully sexy Kah Heng who also took the effort to also hire a clown which made the party more uh.. (no offense mr uh.. japanese guy/clown?)

Who's that guy on my chatbox constantly harassing me to put up new posts on my blog? Seems like the stalker-ish type. I know I'm brilliant and I know you lot love me to bits, but this has to stop. Stop calling me late at night to tell me how great I am, leaving tons of fan mail in my inbox and such. Guys please, just stop WORSHIPING ME! Ahh.. wait i just woke up... damn.

Then there were conversations (Yes, contrary to popular belief, I do have FRIENDS) of the type that makes you feel really inadequate. Spending alot of time trying to make sense of things.. feeling hopelessly lost a couple of times. But i think i get it, or least i think i do. Still it's great food for thought and it's always a humbling experience and certainly an exciting one as well to know that there is just so much more that i want to learn. Crap, I got pwned.

WOW WHAT AN AWESOMELY BRILLIANTLY LONG POST! BEERS FOR ALL!

New Toy And The Independence Cup

Well, while people were preparing for the 50th Independence Day the week before, i found myself in another battlefield, fighting for the country. Well not really.. Thanks Desmond for the photos. (I look sooo cool in the picture, that is until i got hit..)



Winning the first couple games of prelims till our team captain had to leave, we managed to win another before it all went downhill losing consecutive games. We had it so bad by now i forgot how many games we lost consecutively .. i think 3 or 4.. it's all a bad memory..try.. to .. forget.. From day 2 we managed into quarters after winning 2 out of 3 from round 2, but didn't make it to semi's losing the final crucial game. Not much to remember although lessons were well learnt. Consolations include finding ourselves in MPOC standings 5th place in the leg and maintaining 5th in season standings with 1 more leg to go.


This tournament also a first for my new toy: A Black/Silver Proto Matrix Rail SE

So far so good, been really impressed by everything so far and almost in all aspects way surpassing my previous marker. Definitely a great buy. Get one now!! (Ask me =P) A more in depth review to come after i put the marker through more abuse (yes, of the whipping and canning sort)

Ahh.. exhaustion and stress and a couple of annoying people.. must focus on happy things and good times and funny moments.. like .. Kah Heng's face.. and..
Well if you can't wait for the next post at least theres a picture above for you to stare at. I will be recovering at the nearby hospital after Kah Heng discovers this. So wish me a speedy recovery when this happens. See how much i go through to just to keep a handful of people who read my blog happy..

Guess who's back...

After a month of using my trusty pentium MMX 200Mhz (yes, pentium- without any number behind it.) I'm finally back on my pc again although the only thing that looks different on the outside is a new DVD-R Rom, looks can be deceiving.

Brand spanking new internals to replace my fried motherboard and pentium4 2.8HT processor, my hard drives are what's left along with my wireless card. A new Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and a new PCI graphics card (forgive me , my computer knowledge has also gone obsolete along with my previous computers) now sits in my CPU and my did i enjoy the silence for once. For those who don't know, my CPU previously cranks out a sound that much reassembles an F1 engine rather than a computer. Fact is that with the PC running downstairs then, i could hear it even in my room through the doors. Ah the joy of silence, and not to mention the reduction in heat, i had often feel like the CPU was going to melt down even when i had the casing opened both ways. How nice..

Special thanks to Exkay (prawn genocide man in the earlier post) for the hours, kilometers, kilojoules, and more spent setting up this system. You are the Smeagol(Gollum) that brought the Ring back to Sauron and once again the dark lord of unending annoyance and utter nonsense will rule all of middle earth once again.

Although i enjoyed playing paperboy and cannon fodder (ahh the memories.. and i wished i could have been able to get my hands on monkey island), and there was peace in the land with people singing joyful songs, birds were chirping in the air and such in my absence, good things must come to an end. For the blogger is back to the gnashing of teeth, sharpening of swords and swinging fists... Ahh... it is good to be back.

*Cue LOTR Soundtrack* The day will come when everything will make sense. The day when utter nonsense and annoyance will cease to exist.. but it is not this day !!The time will come when people sigh with relief, sing with joy and clap their hands.. but it is not this day !! For today the blogger returns !!

PS: Those who nudged me on MSN Messenger causing my pentium1 to crash will pay!!
