Mom - you like em' you hate em' too. Her constant annoying 'yee yee ngor ngor, namo namo' (super nagging mode) is a real pain to my hobbit-elf-pixie-mickey-gnome-looking ears (or so described by lemon, sugarush, tom, dick, harry) ! I don't know why she likes to 'ngum' (nag). Small things 'ngum', big things 'ngum ngum ngum' . Is it a natural human characteristic behaviour that goes with the age? It seems to me that the elder you get, the more 'ngum-mer' you can be. Agree?

The jokes on me when I was chatting with 2 colleagues of mine over MSN (like half an hour ago) as we pointed out how 1 of them can be so 'ngum-ish' despite being ONLY 21 years old *ahem* . Before you know it, my mom enters my room and started to nag like *herl* (suddenly my colleague doesn't seem that 'ngum-ish' anymore) :

"Hai~The floor is so dirty also you didn't bother to mop. OMG, look at this, how can you NOT clean this up? This thing ar ..blah blah blah.... *ngum ngum ngum* That thing ar ... yada yada yada... *ngum ngum ngum* House no more maid already you know? *ngum ngum ngum* Please-lar you all cooperate abit can or not - help me out abit lar ... blah blah blah ... I tell you ar today your aunt called. This cousin of yours ar .. yada yada *started to gossip* blah blah blah yakkity yak yak .... Aiyor, the toilet ar... blah blah blah... *ngum ngum ngum* make it a responsibility can or not ... yada yada yada .... *ngum ngum ngum* Your dad-ar, tell him ... blah blah blah blah blah ... *started to nag even louder now* All of you don't know how to take care of the house-wan! *ngum ngum ngum* Your aunty ar.... chip chip chip chap chap chap *more gossips*... wachaaa haiyakkk hoaachaa!...... Sigh!~"

-Good grief-

Mom, take a break if you may, PLEASE. Its not as though I'm not trying to help, but I don't have the time to do it just yet. Moreover puh-lease-lar, my room is not really THAT bad-lar; sure there's dust here and there, the dumb floor parquettes kept lifting up and I haven't got time to *glue* it back but aside from that, everythings okay-mar. Okay-guar.

AND *sheesh* hoo-boy gimme-a-break, just as I looked at her right now (who's sitting comfortably on the sofa watching TV), she started to 'ngum' again :

'(Looking fierce) So many clothes to wash! Later help me to hang the clothes-ar! *ngum ngum ngum* ... blah blah blah (still looking fierce)' *sheesh*

If my colleague is Miss 'Ngum-mer' 2006, my mom definitely wins the Mrs. 'Ngum-mer' 2006 pageant (if there's any, so to speak of). ArrgHHhh.. UrggHhhh *Moth's turn to nag* Hmph!!

Hayao Miyazaki's
HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE

Yes, finally watched the anime after a year of its release! ( Blergh, I know I'm slow and I know its a bit too late to do any sort of reviews NOW so I'm not even gonna start ...

......... dum dee dum .......

......... well, maybe abit-lar. Abit wouldn't hurt right? Just a quick one I promise =P )

How I would describe the anime:
Fantasy . Surreal . Charming . Creative

I rate it 4.675 / 5.000:
Alot of canggih-fied 'magical' components and 'sorcery' effects (think: the likes of Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Perusha). The animations were excellent - detailed as ever. The endearing characters and their expressive role contributes most to the success of the movie. Indeed a powerful piece of work. SO why the missing 0.375 ? - Well, we movie reviewer can't let ourselves succumb to perfection, that's why! =)

See, quick-leh? Its as good as not reviewing it at all ... =P I know, hey! LOLz

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry

How could you possibly bypass such tantalizing dessert like this?
Look at the cute strawberry - nakedly wrapped around with a coat of rich chocolate!

It's as good as kissing!
Feeling it already?

*Smooch*

If you haven't give your partner a good kiss lately - hey, perhaps its time you get your lips exercised and add in a lil' magical spice!

Make LoVe babe! Make LoVe!

Just came back from mamak with Bliss after a tiring yoga session. In one of the conversations, she asked me the meaning of 'PLU' - apparently, she found the word in some magazine and wanted to verify its meaning. I thought I'd share it with you guys too ( in case you're eager to know / interested to find out - saves me the hassle to explain it over again in the future too ).

'PLU' (or 'P', for an even shorter abbr.) stands for..
'People Like Us' - which obviously refers to.... people like us (duh~) - in another word 'gay'. Very much for identification purposes.

When do you use 'PLU' or 'P' ?
You'd use it as you would with the word 'gay'. So why would you (the homosexual) go for 'PLU' or 'P' instead of directly referring your type of people as 'gay', you asked? - Good question, I don't know either - It seems to be a Malaysian culture. As far as I'm concerned, I pretty much like to use the word 'gay' - call me proud or whatever sh*t.

Who uses 'PLU' or 'P' ?
Only the PLUs (the gay buddies) should be using it. To all my dear 'straight' friends, now that you understand its meaning, please STOP using the word 'PLU' or 'P' when referring to that cute guy-but-oh-no-he's-gay ALTHOUGH I know the word is much more easier to use ( You don't want people to mistaken you for ONE of us dontcha? )

How do you use the word 'PLU' or 'P' ?

The wrong usage:
ie. Straight A talking to Gay B : Hey, I heard C is a 'PLU' / 'P' !
ie. Straight A talking to Straight B : I think C is a 'PLU' / 'P' !

The right usage:
ie. Gay A talking to Gay B : Hey, is C a 'PLU' / 'P' ?
ie. Gay A talking to Straight B : Yes, C is a 'PLU' / 'P' !

So, there you go, our first lesson of basic introductory to PLU. Stay tuned for more upcoming lessons in the future. Remember, these are private lesson from me to you. Don't share this with anyone else-wor. Its meant to be *discreet*

p/s : I don't think I'm 100% correct .. then again I doubt its all wrong either. Hehe =P

Signed,

"AIDS awareness / prevention campaign - a great new three-minute cartoon by Wilfred Brimo, set to The Rubettes' 1974 classic "Sugar Baby Love" and part of a French AIDS awareness campaign".

* As usual lar - Homophobic PLEASE don't even click to play. I'm warning you.. especially to the guys. 'Fai si' you get disgusted over the act of your gay counter part. Then again this is just an animation and I personally find the content rather 'safe', so just watch it as an artwork from design/animation perspective lor.. no harm rite? Ciaoz.

I got rejected.. again. All things grey and pain. Nah, it has nothing to do with my love life you romantic suckers. I'm referring to a design job of mine, if thats what you care to know *darn, shouldn't have checked my mailbox after working hours* - Its not really a huge issue-lar but I'm beginning to feel it - I'm slowly fading away from this word called - D. E. S. I. G. N. E. R.

I can't take criticism anymore. I take things too personally especially of negative feedbacks. I spent too much time drafting out design drafts than I used to. I'm tired of not able to catch up with the latest trend. I can't take on challenges these days. I'm beginning to feel the threat of new bloods and fresh meats of young designers that ushers into the scene.

There's so much to worry about, its hard NOT to worry (So shaddup and stop telling me 'don't worry-lar' etc. its just so NOT gonna help, thank you)

BUT~ Though said, I'm not letting anything go soon (as in quitting or resigning or getting myself fired).. not now (I still need the monthly paycheck mind you!) . I just need you to listen and hear me emo-rant for 2 minutes, that's all. I need your support ! So please, lift me up once again... shower me with hot hunks your support - GIMME ALL YOUR MONEY so I can just stop working and concentrate in my search for hot hunk and probably get laid or something.

Its 12.16 am now and I'm fu*king sleepy I think I'm beginning to write alot of bullsh*t around. Scuse' me now I need to strip myself naked andZz zzz Zz zz (snore) (snore)

Mika Nakashima - 'Legend' MusicTV

This is by far one of the greatest Birthday present Moth has ever received! (Yup, that's rite - its my birthday today - on the special day - the once in a lifetime whatever 20.06.2006 ) Speaking of which, *gee... can't you guys be a lil' bit more creative when it comes to SMS-ing birthday greetings? I swear the last five(5) sms-es are the SAME. It goes like this:

' Years come and go... But today is a special day.. *20062006* Double Match.... It happens only once in a lifetime... (followed by your personalised message, ie : ...and I wish you a Happy Birthday) '

Marvelous..NOT! ( You know who you are laa-har ). Its the thought that counts, yup, but my dear friends...... but...

Anyway, back to Mika-chan. My morning is blessed when Qiqi helped brighten it up SO bloody HeAveNLy muCh and surprises me with a compilation of Mika Nakashima's latest singles ( 'Cry No More' & 'All Hands Together' ) and LEGEND MTV as a birthday gift! ( Regulars should know by now those are in my 'TO DIE FOR' wishlist ). Thank you so much dearie, am so TOUCHED *honest*! You amazed me with your 'WOW' Effort!

( I heard Mika-chan calling me... Its time for MTV again )

Lurve you people. Mmuaaks! ^^

19 June 2006

Saturday Afternoon- What?! Who won last night? WHo's Da Mr. LiQuiD?... What?! HIM ?You sure!?.... Gee... Wow.. *clap *clap

Saturday Evening- Went to Xenri (Japanese). Parents being parents, hesitated when it comes to ordering what's on the menu, the usual money matters.

Dad: Ooh whoaa.. This set is so expensive. I'll take this one instead *points to the cheaper Bento*

Moth: It's okay. Just go ahead and order... *points to the expensive Bento*.. Try this one - it looks good!

Dad: But its RM xx for a set .. this is only RM yy! Its okay, I'll take this *points back at the cheaper Bento*

Moth: Just order! Don't care about the price-la! *frustrated*

Mom: Ya, its on us (me, mom and bro). Just pick your favourite food and order! Don't think too much about the money.

Dad: Don't want-lar.. this will do. Later the bill comes up to whole lump sum ohh!~

Moth: *Super pissed*

Bro: Excuse me, Order please... *talks to the waiter*, we'll have this *points to the expensive Bento* , and this.. and that.. and this.... (blah blah blah)

------- After the meal ( In the car ) -------

Dad: That's so expensive! (Yada Yada Yada Yada) ... could've just went to the 'dai chow' (yada yada yada yada yada) ... later tonight sure have to 'ta-pao' supper ... ( continues again.. yada yada yada )

Moth: ( Driving ) *Extreme pissed off* -_-"

Saturday Night- Bliss met giraffe and lion at seapark mamak. Bravo.. SMALL WORLD! Part of our own conversation goes like this:

Bliss: Yah, I recognize giraffe (my ED). Saw his profile on friendster...
Moth: *nods* .. and that's lion (the ultimate leader, my MD)
Bliss: Huh? Who?.. Which One?
Moth: Neh.. the one in red shirt.
Bliss: *eyes big big* Har? Doesn't look like one (lion) worr.....
Moth: Surprised leh..

I don't blame Bliss. I can't believe it myself too when I went for the interview last November. Lion just doesn't look....... lion enough lolz. Sorry la *don't deduct me salary!!*

Sunday Morning- Oli's wedding. Kudos to the beautiful bride and the hilarious gorgeous groom ( don't worry Oli, I'm not eyeing on him, although I really do find him *muahahaha* *wahahaha* *SlUrPs*.. nah just kissing.. aiks...I mean KIDDING... !! ) on their big day.

You guys did an excellent job! Nice settings, simple, cozy, easy going eventful daytime wedding. Couldn't ask for more. You guys are so sweet when you *muah*, *slurpS*, *ush*, *choo choo*, *slosh*, *humph* And the band is AWESOME! Bravo to the emcee too.

Thanks for inviting moth over - lurve the good food, lurve the beautiful scenery *kap kap oli's figure, kap kap tantan's smile*, lurve the lil' gift!

Sunday Evening- Moth's early Birthday dinner. The plan is to get to Chef Ken's (Italian) but sweet Ken decided to close his shop and take a day rest on Sunday. BRAVO!.. We then settled for Milwaukee (Western) in Kepong. Not bad a place to dine. They have this big TV there - which makes it even better for football fanatics like Danzer and Drew. Fellow insomniacs belanja me makan - how sweet of them!

Sunday Night- Went Laundry @ The Curve for second round. We decided to go with bottles of Heinekens - on me *proud*. It doesn't take me long before I officially self-declared myself as 'drunk'. Bliss asked if I'm alright and instead of answering "Ngor mou zui (I'm not drunk)", I replied "Ngor mou zau (I don't have wine/liquor)" - hmm.... my conscious mind is trying real hard to prove how 'sober' I am. Sheesh.

The whole night yunko's busy flirting with Mr. Care Bear (just so happened to be there at the same place, sitting next to us - by the way yunko: give the guy a chance-lar.. he's tall, he's well-built, he's rich, he sure knows alot of stuff *albeit a lil' boring*, and he KNOWS what care bears are! and some little pony thingy too~), Danzer and Drew is well.. busy again with their football matches, leaving only me and Bliss with.. plenty of oxygens around.

The night is rather..boring. *I know its mean to say that but...* And so I whacked in some topics to talk about - like telling Yunko and Bliss about the guys I'm dating (hope that doesn't freak Drew out - anyway he's busy watching football, not like he cares!~). That's like my first ever attempt to talk about the oolala topics so darn openly in front of a heterosexual guy-cum-close friend, hohoho~

Moth is officially given the nickname - Hiao-gung zai and Bat-gung zai for constantly changing his Hiao photos on the MSN and for being nosy and a gossip queen. Yeepie Yay...*sigh..

I'm getting old. Bugger.

"Planning your future can feel like a task that's hard to get your arms around -- after all, how can you look into the future with any sort of certainty? Things are in a constant state of flux -- especially now -- so you'll feel less frustrated if you just let life go on as it is for a little while longer. There's no need to pin down every little goal you have. There is a real mystery in your future, and you should see it as a very exhilarating thing."

- Just what I need to know =D . For a second, I thought I couldn't do a single thing right! Ah!! Thank you Daily Horoscope - Finally seeing some lights LOL

" You-ah, your hair looks more and more like those bad boy already-ah"

"Hairstyle also got bad boy no bad boy wan-meh?"

Its not really hard to tell if my mom is 'okay' with our change of looks and physical appearances like our selection of clothes, accessories, mannerism, and of course.. hairstyle. Our clue would be the one kind of look she gives us. Just one look - that's all it takes for us to know what's on her mind; nice/good/so so/not okay/big no no/bad.

I kinda expected some comments from her since day one when I had my hair cut about a month ago. From her initial split second gaze, I felt that her comments would land on the 'so so/not okay' level. But no, nothing came from her; which is weird, cause' I realized she looks at it every now and then as though there's a handful a dandruffs popping out (thats just an example, .... my hair is clean). Until now. Personally, I don't have any problems with her remark.. the thing that keeps me thinking is.. what exactly does she mean by 'bad boy'.. as in the lala pai kia bad boy ? the HK black triad 'gu wak zai' bad boy ? the mafia kinda bad boy ? what ? And yes, I do care which category I fell into because I mind.. it spoils my image and I wanna know how badly its spoilt. HEY I am afterall a B.G.B and I couldn't and I WON'T let myself placed together with the la la clan, dig THAT? Hmph... mothers can be so 'surface' sometimes. Why can't they be abit more 'specific' ie:

" You-ah, your hair looks more and more like those 'lala pai kia' bad boy already-ah"

Wouldn't it be easier this way then? Then I won't have to struggle to find out how bad it ruins my physical reputation and I'd know how to counter attack her comments instead of just replying:

"Hairstyle also got bad boy no bad boy wan-meh?" ( Which is so lame, btw )

I could've replied with something like this:

"Ah Mom!, That's good news! That means there's hope for the lala pai kia clan, for I'm there with them now. As the new recruit and the most creative of all Lalas, I will help start out a new trend - demolishing all the stereotypical lala look and fashion sense. Lala-ism will definitely undergo a revolution and I foresee its heading the right way finally - where lalas would no longer portrayed to be anti-intellectual, superficial and materialistic and shallow. (Smile)"

But NNnoo.. I didn't.. I replied with this boring mundane piece of *toot* :

"Hairstyle also got bad boy no bad boy wan-meh?"

Eeesh.. Yucks. Ptuii.. How can I even think of that in the first place? I totally lost my taste for words (Thinking : must be the side effect of the Maggi mee I had for late lunch today. The monosodium glutamate is destroying my creative cells and juices.. sheesh.. no wonder I hate it so much, I finished the whole big bowl of it! Blergh!)

Dad : (blah blah blah blah) ... He's been hanging out with MY everyday, doing everything together, I'm suspecting they're gay. What do you think ?

Mom : With who-ar ?

Dad : Neh, the one who came to our house for dinner once or twice. They just got to stick to each other everytime. It's not the first time I saw them sitting so close together.

Mom : Lol. They're close friends, clicked-mar. (Turns her head around facing me)... Hey, you heard what your dad just said ? He's worried your elder brother might be turning gay. What do you think ?

Moth : (Without looking at Mom's face, some-what pretending to be busy)... Your own son you dunno wan-meh ?

True, but 'char tou'...

Went for a movie with Bliss on Friday night at the newly opened Cathay Cineleisure next to The Curve. The place's okay - friendly smart staffs (not the slow-mo and duh-looking average). Their uniforms nice - No vest, no bowties.. they go in sporty-almost-jersey-like-tee uniform. The only thing I don't really like is that the place has got lots and lots of staircases (which sucks, since I'm diagnosed with staircase-o-phobia. That place is literally a fear factor for me. And Oh, countless escalators too - you'll know why when you get there yourself)

Anyway, we decided to watch Black Night - some horror movie in Thai language which gradually turned into a comedy. Don't get me wrong, the movie's fine. I'm not referring to the movie as it is. Its the PEOPLE who watched the movie. Some TWO(2) ROWS of you-know-what-race-I'm referring-to people (clue: read my post title), all in their teenage years, adds to 90% of the sound effect of the entire movie. They f*cking screamed, laughed, yelled at every f*cking scene; trying perhaps WAY TOO hard to enhance the visual effect of the film and challenges the cinema's 3D Audio System Surround. WHAT THE FU*K IS WRONG WITH THESE BUNCH OF P*GS?

Inhale.... Exhale.... Inhale.... Exhale

Poor Bliss. She expects alot from the movie and it got spoilt by the non-amusing laughters and the oh-so-it-scares-the-hell-out-of-me sound effect. Half the time, I couldn't distinguished whether the sound came from the movie or from the monkeys who sat in front of us. Give me a gun and I'll shoot them up in a row, all aiming at their pea-sized-brain. Eeessh, perhaps its about time Cathay screens their customers IQ before they let them in.

Qiqi : I know this is so overused...but I just gotta say this again : THE DISASTROUS FACT OF NOT EATING PORK! Logically, scientifically, technically speaking : Nothing will happen if you don't eat pork. But Autumnmothically : It makes you dumb, stupid, act like a complete idiot. No, I'm not racist. Yes it could've happened to all other races too, but too bad.. what happened in the cinema just proves it right.

To the bunch of hooligans : I don't pay 10 bucks for a movie to listen to your voice (no matter how good/sweet your voice may be). You are NOBODY. I paid for the tickets to appreciate talented people's hardwork. If only you guys can speak as LOUD during your exams and earn your well-deserved credits to get into a university, our local Uni's ranking would've been top 10 in the world. Get a life!
