The lazy man's product guide
Monday, May 29, 2006
Moving the lawn. Opening a bottle of jam. Flipping the pages of a book. Who can be bothered? Theres some cool stuff in the internet for the lazy person in you...
Voice command universal remote
The invention of the remote control was a big day in the history of the lazy man. So the voice controlled remote seems the perfect next evolutionary step, even if its designed for the disabled. But then again, imagine the havoc when u and your siblings fight it out between channels...surely wont be a quiet house.

Lids off open-it-all jar opener
Finally, dont need to put effort on that stupid jar of spaghetti sauce that mum always ask me to open. Just stick in a jar and press a button. Everyone would now fight to open the groceries.

Sonicare IntelliClean toothbrush
The beauty of this device, which not only vibrates superfast to save you the trouble of moving your hand but actually pumps toothpaste up a tube directly onto the bristles of your brush for you. Furthermore, it tells you when to move to the next quadrant of the mouth. Wow...that effectively elimanates 3 quarters of the hassle of toothbrushing.

OneDerWear
one underwear to rule them all. This disposable underwear saves the hassle of having to wash, hang, fold your dirty knickers.

GoDogGo fetch machine
The way its supposed to work, you set this device in your yard and retreat to your porch, where, using a remote control, you fire a tennis ball in a beautifully repeating arc towards the horizon, after which your well-trained dog fetches it and puts in back in the cylinder. Problem is, my lazy dog will probably watch 30 tennis ball fly before she would lift a paw. Whats worst, unc sam would probably start humping the machine.

Automatic lecture notes taker
Going to lectures can be so mundane and boring but nevertheless you must attend to get all the lec notes...NOw, with the help of the "notes taker", u can skip all the lectures and just give him some of your left over lunch and he will willingly take all the notes...Awesome!!

Rules for good riting
Thursday, May 25, 2006
Malaysian engrish very bad, more so the riting. So here's a list on how to rite better...
- Dont use no double negatives
- just between you and i, case is important.
- A writer musn't shift your point of view.
- Dont use a run-on sentence you got to punctaute it
- In letters themes reports articles and stuff like that we use commas to keep a string of items apart.
- When dangling, dont use participles.
- Join clauses good, like a conjuction should.
- Dont use commas, which arent necessary.
- It's important to use apostrophe's right
- Dont abbrev.
- Check to see if you any words out
- Always check your speling
- In my opinion I think that an author when he is writing shouldnt get into the habit of making use of too many of those unnecessary words that he does not really need.
- Of course, there's that old one; Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.
- Last but not least, lay off cliches.

Much ado about foam
Saturday, May 13, 2006
Yes...the critics were right...it was wet, it was sticky, it was cram, but heck it was bloody fun. Last night, zach,boon,bin,jason,richard and yours truly embark on an expedition to the shady depths of Karangahape Road in a club called IBIZA for a foam party. Ive never been to a foam party before and didnt know what to expect...so heres my account
Got to bin's house at bout 10 and waited for boon and his followers......they arrive and we warmed up by drinking our now official beer for our group, TUI.......played some kung fu choas while zach played some sing-alongs......left for IBIZA with nothing but my drivers license (was afraid that my wallet and cellphone would be drenched).....while walking, asked boon for some tips, as ya all know, his a veteran in this field and i the padawan would very much like to learn some 'tricks of the trade'........he proceed in telling me a joke about why a mexican man throw his wife from the 15th floor?....TEQUILA!!
....reached IBIZA, music blasting, ppl dancing, foam foaming (???) and we were all set.....started of easy and slow with the traditional swaying of body side to side ala Will smith in hitch......the boys decided the push bin towards the floor and while watching his body plummeting, proceeded in laughing hysterically......after messing around with the boys and getting all "foamed" up, i decided to leave them in search of some progesterone(aka female, i forgot that bin would be reading and will most probably be thinking what the heck does that mean).....saw a girl, dancing alone and seemingly in need of a partner, took a deep breath and went up to her and asked "hey there, wanna dance?"....
.....she swivel her head about the horizontal axis and gently replied "no thanks...i with someone"......oh well, tough luck, continued dancing, had a glimpse back and saw her BF dancing with her.....scolded myself for such foolish judgement, continued dancing.......next, saw a group of girls dancing and decided to joined in......squeezed my way through and ended up behind this girl and her friend....frantically dancing behind her to get her attention......she then dance in front of me for a few seconds and then blurted out "Im lesbian"...what??.....crazy people....hang around for a while only to be rewarded with some lesbian action going on with she and her friend....
hmm...wondered what those guys are up to....glanced around, spotted them nearby....as i went to meet them, saw some girls around them...woohoo, ill just get some off them instead.....went to the group, only to realise that one of the girl was my sis friend....sigh.....just dont feel right dancing with them.....left them again ...... shirt sweaty....ear drums bursting......throat sore....weighed up my options...i could
- start cursing everyone and everything and strom out of the club while shouting...."U BUNCH OF SAD ***ING IDIOTS"
- break down in tears and call momma to be consoled
- take 12 tequila shots and settle for any tom,dick or harry that comes along the way
- take a bus to university and study some fluid mechanics
- persevere....
needless to say, i chose the 5th options......although it was a toss up between the 3rd option.....saw the boys resting among the sofa....bin was recovering from his tequila shot, jason was dancing crazily, boon was in automatic mode, richard was all over the place and zach couldnt be found.......so i decided to dance a little more.....saw this girl....heart stopped..... went closer to have a look....by the mighty beard of zeus, she was hot...asked myself, "WWBD...what would boon do?".....sum up courage.....went in front of her and started dancing....she dances exotically back...heart jumping.....maybe i should buy her a drink....was about to ask her......DAMN!!....i didnt bring my wallet....ARGH!!!......retreated away from the dance floor....dejected.....saw bin with natalie and some other friends....joined them....had a few shots....took some photos....saw bun (haha...sorry..typo, but not gonna fix it) and pui li....joined them...dance a bit....un-dejected...foam stops...people leave...silence creeps in...left IBIZA....showered in bin's house....hunger strikes....Kebab in Queens.....went back...
was about to sleep....silence all round.....noticed somthing....boon was asleep.....by the glistering light of Ra, a miracle!!!....boon asleep + silence = MIRACLE!!......said a little prayer...thank God for blessing me with a quiet sleep...ZZzzzzzzzzzzz
OH btw...ill post the pics as soon i got hold of it from natalie

The real reveal
Saturday, May 06, 2006
To whom it may concern,
Life can be baffling and chaotic, and sometimes its hard to make sense of it all. People go about their lives admist a sea of negative emotions around them such as jealousy, hatred and anger. Therefore, its inevitable that one day, one would encounter some of these traits. My ghastly experience came not too long ago in the form of a false accusation. False accusation is a hard pill to swallow, furthermore if that accusation came from someone you trust, someone you thought that actually could be your buddy. Sometimes, people fail to analyze the situation that unfolds in front of them and tend to draw up various conclusions of what might or what could have happen.
They do not confront the situation in an orderly manner hence causing various nonsensical accusations. Case and point: Lets say person A had a great night out drinking in his mate's place. During the course of the night, he dozed off. Waken by the artic-like temperatures, he subsequently went to look for a warmer refuge. Alas, after much heartache, he found a nice warm bed (more like half of a nice warm bed). Bearing in mind that he did not wanna get a frost-bite, he proceed in sleeping at the other half of the bed, WITHOUT crossing the midpoint.
So along came mr magoo using a innocent gay cowboy movie to unleash his propaganda. Anchored by his so called "BIG reveal". Surrounded by shattered reputation and doubtful acquaintances, my life quest now is to spread the truth. Well, thats life i guess, you just cannot take anything for granted
