In the long run, we are all dead. - John Maynard Keynes

why do i even bother writing in this blog?

i have not had a proper bath in two days and i look like hell. i've got this gigantic plaster on my face. i can't bear to be seen by anyone. i think i'll just dig a hole and come out when the wound's healed.
i saw my wound for the first time today. let me tell you, it looks gross. ever seen your skin threaded with black thread? it hurts a bit too. i'll only be getting the stitches out next week so i have to look like a monster during that time. the doctor only managed to get a small portion of the birthmark out so it's still pretty noticeable.

yahoo, i'm downloading songs to put on a christmas cd that i'm going to burn. going to play it at the christmas party...how does bing crosby and elvis sound to you all?

Today, I had a bitter taste of the crummy country Malaysia is. My mum and I parked the car somewhere near the clinic where I was supposed to be operated on and about half an hour later, we returned to see a a group of 'law enforcers' towing my mum's car away. My mum was like 'DON'T TOW MY CAR AWAY!' but they were adamant. There were no other parking spaces around that area so we parked in front of a Tenaga Nasional station. To my knowledge, we weren't told that the space in front of a Tenaga Nasional station was out of bounds to motorists. I was furious cause this was blatantly a trivial matter and I tried to reason with the officer in charge. I told him that we were at the clinic and that we had an appointment and there weren't any parking spaces left (trust Malaysia to have about a hundred parking spaces for a humongous row of shophouses, where the number of cars probably outnumber the number of citizens). I don't think they understood English cause all they did was say 'TAK BOLEH PARK KAT SINI' which literally means cannot park here. By this time, I was beyond control. I totally lost it. I said(in a not too inaudible tone) "F*** f*** f***" while waving my middle finger( I was pissed okay). Then this malay police officer comes up to me and says to me "Kau nak senang atau nak susah?" which means do you want the easy way or the hard way. My, this guys sure moves fast, I hardly even know him and here he is asking me how I wanted him. Well, actually he was actually threatening me. He said "Kamu sangat bising kau ingat aku tak faham kau cakap fak fak fak". Translation: You're very noisy and rude. You think I don't know what fak fak fak means? By this time, I was purple with rage. The balls of the guy to threaten me. So the car was towed away. At least we got it light. There was this ther incident involving a Chinese teenager who as soon as he saw his car being towed away, jumped into his car. The tow operators attacked him and killed him. I don't know what has become of that case but it terrifies me to think that such brutality exists in Malaysia, a supposedly harmonius and peaceful nation.

I take back whatever I said about Malaysia. Yes I love this country and will remain loyal to it but this kind of attitude is very unbecoming of a country that wants to establish itself as a world class city. Law enforcers misuse and overuse their power. They are unprofessional and racist plus they hardly speak any English. Another incident that I can cite as an example would be when me and my dad were outside Puduraya. The whole road was jammed and when we neared the conjestion, we realised that this car had stopped at the side of the road to wait to pick up his passenger. This asshole had parked his car on a busy main road causing a multitude of cars behind him severe stress from all that jam and ironically, two uniformed policemen were standing ten metres from the scene chatting away.

If this country does not improve itself and straighten out its flaws and loopholes, Malaysia will never be an ideal country to live in. The authorities always question why their young talents are always flying the nest and residing in other countries. As long as they don't lose their rose-coloured glasses and rectify this problem, young professionals will not choose to return to Malaysia. Dumb natas!

So my mum is stuck with a $300 fine and I am going to write a letter(in Bahasa Malaysia no less) to appeal the summon and hopefully we'll get a lighter fine. The operation went smoothly and was relatively painless. However, I am still fuming at the sheer stupidity and high-handedness of the authorities.

Hey guys. ASEAN scholars party! My house! Here's the details
Date: 21st December 2001
Day: Friday (yippee its the weekend again!)
Time: 6pm-12am
Venue: Weelee the happening guy's house
69 Jalan Pudina
Bukit Bandaraya
59000 Kuala Lumpur
( next to Bangsar Shopping Centre)
It's a pot luck so bring FOOD! Tell me what you're bringing first (and who's making it to be on the safe side ;P) so I can see whether I want to eat that or not. hahaa!

Hmm, Lance is paranoid. No I did not imply that yours is a 'forced funny' page. Lots of my friends think you're naturally funny. Does that soothe your ego? Hope it does ;-P.

I went out with my friends today. First we hung around McDonalds Bangsar for awhile and then we drove to Mid-Valley to eat and shop. They are planning a trip to Port Dickson on Thursday but my mum isn't keen on letting me go. They want to drive me there and knowing them, they'd porbably want to stay over with us too. I would rather die than bring them. They don't trust my friends driving seeing how there are so many road fatalities these days involving teenage drivers. Screw damn for driving recklessly and getting themselves killed. Don't they know that their actions now have repurcussions to teenagers throughout the country. All for a few seconds of whizzing fun. Irresponsible.

You know what we saw at Mid-Valley? A gyrating motorized Santa Claus. He was this really fat mannequin and they installed this motor that would make him shake his hips form side to side. And all the while he had this silly grin on his face. He looked like Mr Leong. Perverted.

I went to 'The Tart Shop' today and I asked for an European Tart. They said European Tarts are really popular and they were all gone. So I had to settle for an Asian one. Tarts are look hard on the outside but once you dig in, the feeling is pure bliss. Tarts are getting more expensive by the day. To enjoy a Tart, you have to lick it and stick your tongue in it. When you think it is ready, then you savour it.


My favourite is Egg Tart. What were you thinking?

I can't believe my eyes. Jiahui actually thinks I'm funnier than Lynette. Yippee! I'm funnier than someone, someone actually reads my blog! But then again, being compared to Lynette isn't such a great thing either. Maybe it's because she talks about her imaginery friends whereas I actually have *real* friends. haha. now let me think of something funny to say....whoopps, cant think of any. Don't want a forced funny page would I? That would be so uncool.
Lynette > What pirate name? Hey I cant afford anything on your wish list.. sorry. I did get you a card though. It's with Jiahui. Everyone got a card except Lance cause I wanted to give him a card AND a present seing how he's been such a 'good' friend and all :P but I forgot to bring it on SAT day. Silly me...I could kick myself. All the best for your Christmas Concert. Are you video taping it?

There's this certain someone that I have a liking for and I've asked this certain someone to come to my blog twice and both times this certain someone said that he/she will but then he/she doesn't. Why she/he like that ar? Everytime I try to strike up a conversation with this certain someone online, he/she just replies in short reluctant sentences. But then in person, she/he is such a great person to be around. Attractive too. I should just stop wasting my time.

Oh and I was browsing through the selected blogs just now and I now know why I'm not a selected blog. Those blogs are really deep, either they're talking about the Euro or Third World Debt and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict or that they are really reflective on their personal lives. I could never do that. I should stick to being shallow old me. Cheers.

I did not go under the scalpel today(phew!). The operation is scheduled to be on Wednesday and I'm starting to have second thoughts about it. No thanks to my mum who keeps giving me doubts about the operation and then when I change my mind, she tells me to go for it. What am I to do? I'm going bonkers. And besides, if I don't undergo the operation, I'll be able to go to Port Dickson with my friends on Thursday. Damn. Decisions decisions.
Mr Lance, you started it! (neh neh ni bu bu)
Vincent has started a new blog! Hurray!

Okay I'll just add a short entry to my droning blog. Thanks to my publicity manager, the FORUM is up and running. Drop by and contribute something to it kay? And Mr Lance, no i'm not trying to imitate you, i'd rather die. And I happen to know that you do not come up with original stuff yourself. Think of a mat name and an alphabet for a surname. I got it from this translation page, it actually means f*** you! Geddit? Now get lost.
The computer is really really slow. I don't know why. It's getting worse by the minute. I'm tempted to unplug the damn CPU and stuff it in the garbage bin.
I might be going for a minor operation tomorrow to remove that hideous birthmark under my left eye. It's going to be a local anesthetic job so I'll be awake while they cut my face up. I am so dead. But next year when I come back to school, I'll be a hunk. Yippee!

you know now that I'm back home, I kinda regret saying all that gushy mushy stuff that I said about my parents. My dad is really getting on my nerves. He's an obnoxious egocentric mean ol bas****! And I mean it. He's always shouting at us when he doesnt get his way and I think he's dyslexic. He keeps mispronouncing words. Even simple words like chocolate. And he keeps mixing all our names up. Like sometimes he calls me 'keng lee' which is my brother or he'll call my brother 'woman' which is how he refers to my mother. and now that we've bought a scanner, he wants me to install the scanner and it just won't work. the computer is so f***ed up cause he keeps downloading crap and he never deletes his e-mail so he has more than a 1000 emails in outlook express and he wants me to save everything cause i want to reformat the comp. jerk! and he always gets so pissed so quickly and when he's pissed, he's always raising his voice. and he always thinks he's right. and when we tell him otherwise, he'll get pissed.

hey i came across this ali g website.
Guess what?
The translation for I love you is:
would yous dig to get jiggy wiv mr biggy

Has anyone noticed the title change? I heard the phrase 'asian moon' in an oldie song so I thought I'd use it. Sounds exotic doesn't it.
For those of you who don't know, Lance is a jerk!
I've just come off a marathon phone calling frenzy. I've lost count of the people I've called for the past 3 hours. I'm trying to organize a get together for some of my friends back home but I couldn't get home. So I'll take a wild shot and tell them here.
I-Hua, Steph, Jason, Suet Ying, SHu Fen, Steph and whoever else.....meet for lunch on Tuesday 11/12/01 at 1pm outside McDonalds, Bangsar. We're not eating there silly, it's not hip enough. We'll decide later.
Today I talked to a friend who was my best friend until like before I left for Singapore. Haven't spoken to him in like 2 and a half years. Gee, he does sound so grown up. Wonder where that leaves me?

Have you read chel's blog? The cheek of her to credit Wey Ling for learning of Sean Biggerstaff. And the cheek of Wey Ling to claim that she found out his name. Well for those of you in the dark, Sean Biggerstaff plays Oliver Woods in Harry Potter and Rachel and Wey Ling have a crush on him. The other day after watching the movie, Wey Ling was looking for his real name but the names of the main cast had already rolled by and she thought they wouldnt put his name on. I told her that they would put the list of the FULL cast in a while but did she listen? Noooo...she kept insisting that that was it and we were to leave the theater at once. Just then (cue for music in background), the names of the ENTIRE cast rolled on screen. That was how we found out his name. And if it wasn't for me......

I'm blogging a lot lately. I guess it's a sign to say that I'm bored. Either that or I suddenly have a lot to say. Good night. And heh(tong tong tong chiang), you are correct, why isn't there anyone online at 2:47am.

I forgot to add this in just now. I just remembered that I was thinking of putting this in my blog. I met a friend online yesterday. His name is Josh Schwartz. He's a rock star! Cool huh? I, plain lil ol weelee knows a rock star(mebbe not like billboard rock star but they're big in the states(at least I hope they are)). That will probably be my biggest claim to fame for a long time to come. Not until I win my next Grammy and Oscar double.

Josh and I grew up together. We were church mates. He was totally different when I knew him. Now he's like a brutha in tha hood. I think. There's a myriad of hip speak in that lil ol land where the star spangled banner flies. Check his band's website out. www.seventhdayslumber.com. Visit it and have a listen. Josh is the Indian guy with the yellow cones on his head(hehe).

All hail Jokull the Bloodthirsty. Yggdrasil shall always protect you.
hehe
that's my viking name!
cool

my cereal name: Soggy Honey Flakes
my exotic name : Danglin' Hugh Wantim

I feel miffed. My dad is hogging the computer so I have to use my notebook to type in my entry and then later transfer it into my blog. Actually, it feels really professional typing on the notebook. I’m watching Girl, Interrupted for the second time. There’s nothing else to watch.

I went to the National Registration Department today to apply for the new smart card IC. My parents were complaining about having to pay 20 ringgit for the new IC. Cheapskates. We had to wait for about 2 hours for our turn. Talk about efficiency.

I need some help. Why is Lance never online? Why is it that whenever I don’t need him, he’s always bugging me and when I need his expert advice and opinion he’s never around? Does anyone know where he is? It’s this hardware problem with my PC. My dad bought it like a year ago and at the start-up, it says that it uses NVRAM but when I went to Imbi Plaza today, they said NVRAM was obsolete and they stopped manufacturing them already. What am I to do? Yippee, I’m going to get a CD-writer. Hurray! My days of buying CDs are over.

I had some German food for dinner tonight. I never knew what sauerkraut was until tonight. And believe me, it sucks. It’s like something my grandmother would have eaten during the Occupation. It’s stewed cabbage, and it’s salty and sour at the same time. Horrible.

Tis the season to be jolly. Christmas is in the air. I can smell the fir trees, the turkeys cooking, the chestnuts roasting and the santas farting. I'm on a month long vacation and I've got so many things planned so I'm going to list them all out in this blog so I won't forget. These do not appear in order of preference.
1. Learn to play the guitar
2. Enhance my blog/ Create a webbie
3. Mug mug mug
4. Visit Taman Negara
5. Go to the beach (Pangkor would be ideal)
6. Visit the surf pool at Sunway and learn to surf
7. PARTY!
Phew, I hope I've pinned all of them down. I was thinking of starting this small column to inform you of what I watched and am listening to this week.
I am listening to:
Britney - Britney Spears
The Masterplan - Oasis
Hip hop + Hard - Various Artistes

I watched:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Road Trip

i watched harry potter again. don't ask me why, even after i criticized the movie last week. we were bored. we meaning the motley crue of me, wey ling and lip yoong. actually we were supposed to do some christmas shopping but we couldn't find anything within our budget. after the movie, we roamed klcc again aimlessly and then decided to eat dinner at chilis. mindless fun i tell you. even better than sitting in front of the comp and recounting yesterday's happenings.

My SATs are over. Really nervous now cause dumb Lip Yoong had to go and get 1520. That is so crap man. I have to beat him. Like totally pulvarize him. On to other matters. I started tinkering around with my PCs. I say PCs cause I have two. One's a 600MHz and another a crappy 120MHz. Yesterday, I opened up the better one and was playing with the RAM and when I put it back and switched the computer on, it wouldn't work. Took it back out and fiddled around with it again. Turns out that I did not fit the RAM properly back in the slot. I am a genius. I think it best for me to leave this kinda stuff to the geeky experts.

weyling is a genius. she found this passage in the bible that really is very precise in meaning. here it is:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)

Yesterday, I was thinking, why is Lance such an asshole. Then I realized that he is the product of overbearing and overprotective parents which in turn resulted in negative electrons flowing through his cerebrum which then caused his brain to disfunction.

And then I farted.

I'm back home in Malaysia! Yay! I've got nothing much to say at this moment(an 8 hour train ride really does take its toll) so I'll just say splat. Hip huh? For those of you who don't know my e-mail addie and would like to spam me with useless junk and prOn, it is simweelee@hotmail.com . I don't know how to put a mailto tag in the template so until then this will suffice. Going out for lunch soon, yummy. Tata.
