Halo Bluff-alo

During my younger days, I used to cheat on exams to please my parents to practice the fine art of cheating. The main challenge wasn't on the exam questions - it's basically on how you cheat. Let's face it, no brain in this world work like a sponge on the night before exam.

Here's the top 5 crazy methods.

1 The Magic Pen Method
2 The Coke Bottle Method
3 Write on Fingernail Method
4 Masking Tape Method
5 Mechanical Pencil Notes

Good luck!

Thank You For Arguing

A week ago, my brother facebooked me a link of an old movie.



Thank you for smoking was the movie title. The story was about a guy with speaking talent, spins argument to defend the cigarette industry in the most difficult situations. Difficult in a sense like a lawyer defending a murderer in a prosecution.

The movie was so great, I watched it THRICE. No joke, I experienced a paradigm shift while this movie further strengthen my tenet.

What happen when you're wrong? That's the beauty of argument. If you argue correctly, you'll never wrong! - one of my favorite phrases from the movie.

I wasn't being taught much on the art of argument, or the language of rhetoric itself. I just never thought everyone is potential to win an argument using profound logic. Now I have a sudden urge to win an argument on things I believe it's right. But first, I need to make my statement sounds really convincing though.



The emphasis is mostly on the construction of argument, which is normally based on logical structures. An example would be, "If Nick's acting is good, then the movie will be nice, but the movie isn’t nice, so his acting isn’t good."

It can go more complicated as more logical relationship holds between several statements involved. For an example,

"We need to argue for a change to happen. For the people who are making a change for the better deserve a standing ovation. If arguing for change didn't gain us respect, then we should not argue. But if there's no argument, there will be no changes. If there's no changes, no one will deserve a standing ovation."

Before we slap ourself with an answer of yes or no, argue does not mean quarrel. We can enhance awareness and grow trust, which eventually influence the rest. The decision as whether to accept or reject the idea, should points back to each individual to decide. In other words, everyone has the full power to make a decision - whether good or bad.

Just don't try to argue with me. That's all. (You heard that, bro?)

Thinking of Cursing

Anyone who accidentally attract negative events in their daily life, will normally curse. You know, the usual reaction on a bad surprise.



If something turned out different than what we expected, we cursed without intention. Whilst most of us considered it as a bad manner, I seriously believe it will attract bad luck. Remember law of attraction? Unless you having thoughts about good things while you cursing over bad incident.

Why can't we just accept the bad apples with open heart, as they already happened in the first place? Let those words remain as thoughts. It could be a way to appreciate life, although no one knows who started this whole phenomenon of cursing.



Don't read my lips, I swear I didn't curse.

The Secret of Garbage Truck

Since the day one I watched the movie "The Secret", I started to read a lot of stories on the subject of "Law of Attraction". I have come to a conclusion whereby the excitement of manifesting thoughts into reality is merely like waiting for my food order without paying the bill.

After I read a mail from my friend, I found out that the story on the law of attraction has taken another twist. Here's the story.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined our car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of Garbage Truck'.



He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That was a really interesting illustration of how to distracting oneself from bad karma. The world will become a better place if most people failed to influence each other with their negative thoughts.

After all, if my food does arrive but doesn't taste good, they probably need a larger bin.

Not A Worry In The World

As I was busy chasing dreams like most people, something I haven’t paid attention to at all was - the number 2012. Referring to a year, it means four years from now. Most beings were horribly aware that our planet would come to an end soon and even came up with a precise date - 21st of December 2012. I could foresee some couples getting married on that day.

With the recent supportive facts like the mad earthquakes in China and crazy cyclone in Burma killing lives of the innocence, it does scare the shit out of me and almost makes me a believer. But hey, previously I heard someone from somewhere said the world would surely explode on 6th of June 2006. At last everyone survives and watching TV in their comfort home.

I'm not worried about the judgment date, I'm more worried about the time wasted in the process of worrying things that might not happen. If worrying now and nothing happens later, the whole effort of worrying was wasted. If worrying now and something really bad happens in the end, then we begin to worry about it.. again! We bound to the feeling of worry, twice.

Don’t you think it’s redundant?

Hiro Nakamura Freezes Kuala Lumpur

Hmmm, you must be in Hiro's time freeze range if you are frozen around Pavilion at 2.30pm 3.35pm, Sunday 13th April, which is today.

Don't believe? Then watch the following video..



To tell you the truth..

It happened before in Paris, London, Canada and New York.

Everyone is frozen on the name of unity. And of course, the influence of Improv Everywhere which encourages scenes of chaos and joy in public places.

And thanks to Facebook for gathering the crowd..

Staring At Pretty Girls But..

Warning, there will be an extensive usage of the word 'Butt' 'But'.

Humans stare at beautiful things especially on those things that they find attractive. I mean things like great scenery, paintings, architecture and.. babes babies. Having to stare at newly born baby is the most beautiful thing happen in life. Yeah, it's really fun to stare at those little creatures, but some people eye on things differently..



Of course disaster would happen when a dude stares at a beautiful baby, carried by a pretty woman. Simply because his partner couldn't spot where his eyes landed on. But this isn't his fault! No matter you are male or female, would you stare at other hot guys or girls when your partner is around? Hell No. But I thought everyone would answer yes to this..


I'm carrying a cute baby, anyone staring at me?

I reckon it's a very natural thing for both men and women to do.. but it's just out of respect for the person you're with! We shouldn't stare at someone else, unless they are acting funny or wearing something hideous which both of you can enjoy staring and giggling at the same time. But this really depends on the situation..

I'm not really sure about this, but some people mentioned that the speed of our little brain plays a role here. Women have a quicker speed in capturing images, which means they have the ability to record the most minute details in a split second glance. Men have a slower mode. Don't laugh. They have to first focus (stare) for like minutes to get a general sense of the objects. This literally explains why men stare a lot.. but this doesn't make any sense to me either. Don't you think so?



Some men would express disgust over other men who stare at their girls. But in some cases, some said men supposed to eye on women as they already spend massive amount of money on expensive clothes, cosmetics, skin care and slimming products. All these done to avoid stares from a guy? Well there is a point here. But, but, but, this isn't sound right..

If you still consider treasuring pretty things around is a good view, there's a price to pay. Your girlfriend would probably mad at you, or your boyfriend would probably kill someone over the offense done by your eyes.

But like I said before, it really depends. Let's stare at the girl in the following video, but I strongly discourage you from doing so. But still, I know you will watch it. Anyways I think many of you have watched it already.



Whilst I'm confused, I believe most of you feel the same.. but would you watch another clip of hers? Well..



That's so weird. She does nothing, but just staring at you. And you know what, she got more than a million of views in YouTube. I don't get it. Guess humans stare at beautiful things for sure, but without you knowing, money dropped from the sky as she made all these videos. At this moment, the video already reached 1,565,162 views, so if the advertising company pays $0.01 per view, it's gonna build a massive amount of $15,651.62. Ermm, this is just for one video alone. Not a bad paycheck someone with nothing important to say. Her boyfriend will probably thank everyone for staring at her.

After all, I personally felt it's like a revenge video towards those guys who always stare at other girls.



She's watching you (O_O) to watch her back. Teehee!

My Favorite Korean Commercial

A friend of mine loves Korean drama, the others love Korean songs, I love Korean commercials. This is freaking funny. I meant the third commercial. Lols!

How about you?

OMG, Do You Think There Is God?

I apologize profusely, if you feel offended by the title.



That's a doubt somewhere in my buddy's mind. I was puzzled. "Are you still looking for the scientific proof of God?"..



"I can't tell, only God knows.."

Apart from that, there's another question in mind.
What are you praying today?

Whether it is a pray for a job transfer, recover from illness, a good result in exam, a positive result of a pregnancy test or merely to earn more money, sometimes it just doesn't seem to sound right. To me, it's kinda weird.

In some cases, when someone didn't get something.. or somewhere wrong, someone will start to blame God.



I've encountered scores of human who blame everything but themselves, when their thoughts to God is not granted. I knew it's an easy way to get hold the source of failure, but this isn't a right thing to do.

Does a pray to God means an exchange of goods? I really hope not.

One question. Does anyone pray just to remember God? Not sure whether it's a sin if the answer is ideally no.

May God bless you.

SpongeBob, Where Are You?

It's funny to see kids love SpongeBob so much.

Maybe because he's a funny cartoon character. No doubt, I find it really funny when the funny adorable character appeared at almost everywhere. His yellow skin does help a lot in the process.

When you feel bored, you can think of him.



Well, there's a version of his board game to monopoly your free time.

Then, when you're hungry..



You can have a bite of his cake. Anyone tastes it before? I haven't, but sure it'll tastes like a sponge.

To add some animal instinct to your SpongeBob, let's put on your lovely dog on your SpongeBob.



Guess what, the dog will loooook just like a sponge, smells like a sponge, walk like a sponge (is there such thing?), but still sounds like a dog. Now you can love both of them equally with this suit. Shower two loves with one hug.

You may feel tired staying at home, but don't worry, just get yourself out from there with a special pair of SpongeBob shoes.



Trust me, your evening walk will never be the same..

Isn't it funny?

I really think so, and I can't stop laughing..

Bill Gates, Retired and Unretired?

Yes, it’s a spoof - a self made spoof. Featuring Bill Gates, Brian Williams, Jay Z, Bono, Steven Spielberg, Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney, Jon Stuart, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore, and from Microsoft: Steve Ballmer, Christine White, Lisa Brummell, Robbie Bach, Kevin Turner, Ray Ozzie, and Craig Mundie.

I have to agree that it's great when Bill Gates, who is the most powerful businessman in the world, can make fun of himself like this. Honestly, Steve Jobs wouldn't do the same, I'm pretty sure about that.

Pretty funny way to go Big Pimpin’ Bill G! (Jay-Z’s reaction is priceless!.. and love the Mac in the background during his recording session)

Karōshi attack!!

A story of mine before year ends..

Christmas just departed and a new year is arriving soon. At that moment, a project was rushing to meet its date.. dateline, and by doing so.. a bunch of programmers have evolved into zombies.

Though the dateline stayed nearby, the project manager was deeply terrified. What if the project couldn't make its way through?

Karōshi arrows were shot out to all the zombies to make way for the project to run. Project manager managed to escape. Two of the zombies survived from the attack. Dateline was pronounced utterly dead meat. But the project was still running without any doubt.

The project was indeed very tough.

End of story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A msn chat with a friend of mine before year ends..

I guess my first 2008's resolution would be.. To drink more beer and be less STRESSful in any situations! Tell me what you think..

Chopstick or Bowl?

Am I screwed? I almost got involved in an accident..

Last weekend, I drove to Star Hill, and when I heard my friend said "To the left, to the left", I made myself think he said "To the right, to the right" instead. Yes, I do not listen to Beyonce!

It doesn't take much brain to work out that both directions in Chinese. However, my little typical brain was confused (I don't mean it's tiny anyway) when someone trying their very best to direct me to somewhere using mouth instead of forefinger.

If you tell me in English, my brain can tell the direction at almost instantly. But if you mention it in Mandarin, I'll be like .. oooookay, let's see.. mmm.. alright, you mean right..right! Right? And accidents do happen at any moment by the time you figured that out. It's that serious.. Am I right?

I always have this thought of translate it to chopstick or bowl. Right side for chopstick and left for bowl, or the other way round depending on which side you hold them. That's a food for thought.


No way I can hold that chopstick!

In fact, no matter what language spells out, images certainly load faster in my brain (not sure about yours) compared to tedious texts and numbers. When I imagined a bowl, obviously I will start off by picturing the color, design and texture of a bowl. I will then picture my left hand holding that bowl. And of course, I will then open my mouth while waiting for the food to deliver using chopstick from my right hand.

Left hand, bowl. Right hand, chopstick. That's my version of memorizing left and right.

Talking about the ability to memorize, I'm facing hard time to remember details. There are merely too much things to remember everyday.

No kidding! I have 20 over passwords to remember - 3 ATM pins, a notebook and office workstation logins, 2 development and 6 production servers' passwords, 5 email logins, 7 forum ids and an online bank account. The list can go on, but these are the only ones recovered from my existing memory. Others suffered bad sectors..

Well, it's like each time I need to recall something, my brain will triggered a request for username and password (i mean a clue here) in order to access the celebrum center for information. No memory on that, no problem, no info for me then. Tehe!

As I browse through YouTube, I found this.



I guess it's really possible to map everything in the brain. Let's use our head in a correct way.

Kindly spread the words.

He’s Not a Plastic Bag

My best day to exercise always fall on Saturdays. It's tiring.

First my leg muscles, then it entails work on the muscles of both arms. Not to forget, my back muscles as well.

Before you think further, I was actually describing my once-a-week shopping exercise. Alone, I'm not. I'm with my another half. That's the reason why.


Gentlemen, it's time to test your level of tolerance and patience..

Basically the main physical exercise is to support the weight of shopping bags.

Carrying the bags is easy, but carrying them around for 5 hours non-stop is torture.

One fine Saturday, I was shopping in a mall.. at the same time stretching muscles of my eyes, going through some similar painful physical and mental torture colorful fabrics.


Pro-fashional excuse to buy something expensive..

Branded stuff around, but there was this silly staff.

Standing still near the counter, there was this little sissy pine singing "I'm not a plastic bag la, ella.. ella.. eh eh eh!".

That was his version of Rihanna's Umbrella.


You can stand under my invisible umbrella..ella ella eh eh eh hehe!

With goose bumps all over my back, I wondered why he ruined my favorite song.

I thought to myself. Maybe that's his act of protest against plastic bags. Very creative, I must say.


Goddamn it, I'm not Plastic Bag.. I'm Plastic Man!

Well oh well that's something else we can do to save our environment.


Plastic free, Fantastic action! Bravo to Taiwan, Bangladesh, United States, Korea and South Africa

Just like this well-known designer, Anya Hindmarch who came out with her own success story to save the planet! Buy the bag, save the world. Tehe!

Here's her design of an eco-friendly shopping bag.


Plastic No More! Here comes a bag that saves the world from evil plastic..

Creative..uh?

It was a big hit after some celebrities use it while shopping for their grocery. And now it's the public's turn to kill two birds with one stone - help to save the planet and spend money on fancy bag without the feeling of guilt.

The craze is on. Long queue. Bags sold out within days. Riot in KLCC. Aunty and uncle buy for their daughter. It's unbelievable.


The must-be-heavy / must-have bag of the season!

Anyway, here’s my personal suggestion to her.

Dear Anya Hindmarch,

Since guys often involved in carrying shopping bags around during shopping, why don’t you design some bag that sounds practical for them? Well instead of designing for females, kindly consider our feelings as well. You must understand they don't carry their shopping bag as often as us. So forget about the environment, think of our plight in this matter.

Thanks a heap for your understanding.



It might sound silly.

Nevermind.

Having the sense of fashion, but if it makes no sense, it’s often considered as creative.
Okay, fashion does overtake practicality. As always.

Thus, carrying a creative tagline does help fashion befriend with practicality.



So, drop the crap..



Here's my design..







Indeed fashion is unexplainable, but now I can portrait something here. No singing is required. Tehe!

For now, guys are directly involved in carrying shopping bags. And at the mean time, Sunday will be my best day to sleep off my tense muscles.. zzz!

Korean Me, Please!

I simply love Korean instant noodle..



Maybe because its noodle is slightly larger than normal Maggi mee. Or maybe I eat Korean noodle too often?

Which I don't really think so..

I instantly know their noodles are tasty, but the main possible reason might cause by Hallyu, which already scored a direct hit on many countries.

First, the craze hits on girlfriend, then female colleagues, oh well.. then aunties.. and last but not least.. mother.


Please do not scream like school girls!

To be honest, I don't go against those female affection for Korean drama and movies. I guess Korean’s fascinating stories and great acting certainly stir a huge interest among the ladies.

Some love to cry over their sad love story - which always ended with either the male/female actor died towards the end. Some just adores their hot male singers - which always with black colored hair and slit eyes.

Seriously, I don't understand their song lyrics as language becomes a barrier here. Maybe I can just sit back enjoying myself by humming their tunes. Darn it, so it's true that those K-pop virus already polluted the brain cells of most Malaysian, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese and Hongkie.

That's another part of the rise of Hallyu..


Okay.. to attract female readers make things clearer, I'm going to show the very popular male Korean celebrities here..
