Earth Hour!

In Dedication to Earth Hour, I did switch off my lights! Then lights when out then came back 1 hour later. Nothing much happened, no sudden cooling off the Earth, no hysterical cheering, no announcement from Prime Minister that we are all gonna switch to solar power instantly. Well, but Earth Hour isnt really about saving energy is it? It is about global warming awareness as well as a vote. A vote for Earth. A vote to world leaders, to take immediate action agaisnt climate change. A vote for a better world for a better tomorrow in a better environment.

Happy Birthday MayQin!

Haha, as you can see from the title, I recently went to MayQin's surprise birthday party/mini-bbq. Damn fun. The original plan was to go to the USJ 2/2 padang or the "Padang Bukit" as it is called. Unfortunately because of an unexpected increase of H2O percipitation and comulunimbus formation, we had to do it in Lesley's house. In other words, Lesley (as the unofficial host of the event) didn't plan for it to rain.

Anyway, followed Andrew there. Kinda rushing bad planning as usual. We got there first,waited awhile, then people started arriving.



Azhar, Edward ,Andrew, Me, Shawn- probably watching that YouTube rap video.


Kelvin, Alex, Xing San, Pravin- Chilling out.



XingSan, Pravin, Ling Ben- I think they were comparing they're leg hair.


The usual talking, Alex tried to show me how to play a small tune on the piano. Heh, should have known why i quit learning electone at the first place :P. Then back to chatting, Alex and Kelvin doing they're "random acts"*no more explanation needed , and somebody just decided to stick that leg-waxing thing on Pravin's leg. The thing stuck on Pravin's leg quite well but LOL, watch when they pulled it out of Pravin's leg! Along with a patch of his leg hair! Pictures are worth a thousand words...and a few strands of hair.


Pravin just realised, theres no pulling out from this.I mean, he HAS TO pull it out.




See the bald patch? And Pravin said he likes his leg hair.

Pravin's leg hair aside, we then decided to start the barbeque.Thanks to Yih Foo , his barbeque set, and his flamethrower. Short to say, Alex was doing alot of the fanning and setting up the coals. So was Azhar, Xing San and Yih Foo. Took some time, EVEN with all fo us hot guys standing around the coals. Lesley, Amirah, and Jen Nee where inside the house, probably setting up for May Qin to come.



Xing San, Alex, Yih Foo- Masters at work


According to Alex, he wants his "campfire" with the coals, so hes arranging it.


Thanks to Yih Foo, for the Barbeque set, and ESPECIALLY this flamethrower.


So after we got the coals started, Lesley,Amirah, and Jen Nee went in Shiva's car to drive May Qin to Lesley's house. It was supposed to be a surprise, and May Qin is supposed to think she is going to Sunway. So the rest of us: Me,Xing San, Alex, Edward, Pravin, Azhar, Shawn, Andrew, Dhaneesh and Ling Ben were supposed to "get ready" as in turn off the lights, get the cake out , light the candles, move the table, shut the curtains, and keep quiet until May Qin. All that we did, except the "keep quiet" part.

We were all ready.
Curtains?Check.Lights?Check.Cake?Check.Candles?Check.Camera?Check. Keep Quiet? Still working on that. Then suddenly, Xing San said "Coming!Coming!". Boom!We went into red alert, "go!go!go!go!", positions!, candles!,open the door!which button to press? matches!, NO matches? "GET THE FLAMETHROWER!" Boom!" light it! light it!"There door swung open, and at the door was... Azhar with his Twister set. FALSE ALARM! (=.=')

Okay so, after Shiva drove May Qin a few rounds around "to Sunway", one more false alarm and a couple on inches of candle wax melted, the Birthday Girl Arrives! Now realising she probably isn't at Sunway, May was led blindfolded into the house. Happy Birthday May Qin!



Surprise!


Candle plucking "tradition".


Lol, then Ling Ben decided to play a prank on May Qin. He hid from the beginning, at the upper floors of Lesley's house. Then he sms-ed May Qin with something like:

"I am waiting at Sunway now, where are you MayQin?"

Lol, then MayQin still in the shock of the surprised party, kinda panic and called Ling Ben, and asked him to somehow get to Lesley's house. Ling Ben, actually upstairs, played along, and said, he only has RM20 and its trafiic jam and doesnt know if he can make it back. Pravin went along with the game and told May Qin "Theres a bus back here, its like RM8 tell him to take the one going around Sunway, not the highway one", and May Qin just continued thinking Ling Ben was in Sunway.



May Qin actually thinks Ling Ben is in Sunway


Then suddenly Ling Ben just popped out from the stairs and said something like:

AHAAH! hahah!
(Ling Ben)

*horrified i-kena-conned face*
(May Qin)

"ahahahahaha!!"
(everyone)

"THATS THE LAST TIME IM GONNA CARE ABOUT YOU!"
(May Qin, in a happy kinda way.)




May Qin realising she was tricked, and Ling Ben is actually in the background.


So the party continued, with the barbeque. By now, Shiva has joined us with his car. Mainly it was Edward, Alex, Shiva, Azhar, Xing San qround the barbeque. Barbequed around, ate some weiner's and sausages. The chicken was nice too. Those fish fingers was okay. Ate some fish balls too. Wasted some of the food which just slipped down the gril and into the coals. Too bad none of us had carbon-deficiency.



Azhar fanning the flame.


Barbequed Meat! Carbon! Coals! Hot stuff! Yeah!


Then when i went in to get some drinks the topic of driving May Qin around blindfolded with Shiva's newly acquired driving skills started. It then soon turned into a weird joking session linking sexual-inuendos to food items being barbequed. Later, Shiva took some of us on a ride in his car while dropping Dhaneesh back home. It wasn't THAT life threatening, but Shiva made a jogger RUN after revving his engines a few times. I must say his 10-seconds of driving the car like a slalom was kinda intimidating.

Then Puteri arrived, looking quite sick. I'm not a tabib-diraja, but I think she has a cold or something. Anyway, we played Twisters and watched some video using Lesley's laptop. The worst of the two was the videos on Lesley's laptop. So i shall skip that part.



The Reaction


By now, fueled by carbon, coal, sausages, buns and I was ready for TWISTERS. I had the chance to showcase my amazing skills at Twister as well as how I look with my pants pulled high and shirt tucked in. Dont ask me, its some Twister rule, or so they say. Obviously with some uber-cool hip action and weird looking positions later, I emerged self-titled-Twisters-Champion beating Ling Ben and Azhar crashing out due to unluck.

Someone then had the smart idea to play 6 player Twister . It was on: Me, Alex, Pravin, Edward, Azhar, and Lesley. Well with Pravin's butt in front of my face for the first few moves, i was in danger of losing, not to mention Pravin might decide to release the gas generate from the bbq dinner using his rear end. Suddenly Pravin had to move and his gluetious maximus was placed ever closer to my face. Then he had to say "Kameeee Kameee...I'm Coming!" Then he fell, and brought everyone on the Twister's mat down with him. LOL, damn funny, everyone should try 6 player Twister, especially with big-ended people like Pravin. Anyone for 10 player Twister?

As you can see, up to this poiunt, ive run out of photos, cause I was too busy doing cool-stuff. Next on my list: Challenging Alex in a series of Mortal Kombat Test. Bring on, leg-folded-yoga-style-hand-racing! Wanna do headspins? Alex and I do Ass-spins. Not to be forgotten: Super Korean Chicken-dance Leg fight. I had to admit defeat of 2 consecutive losses to the supreme skill of the Super Korean Chicken-dance Leg fight: Master Alex Lim.

Puteri, Azhar, Ling Ben, and Shiva who went out for a drive just now came back. They were quite in time because we just started to eat the cake. The plan was to involve the cake in some game, but I guess we just couldn't resist, the cream filled black forest style joy of May Qin's Birthday cake.



The cake, credits to Andrew for buying it.


Andrew had to go quite soon after. I had to go too. But they were just handing out balloons. Anyway, family matters, so i have to go home. Anyway had a GREAT TIME. DAMN FUN PARTY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY QIN!

Street Fighter Movie

Today, I saw my own blog. Read it and found grammatical errors. Like what the hell.. cant believe I did so many mistakes on the last post. Probably too distracted yesterday thinking about what movie I was going to watch today. The plan was for me, Alex, Benjamin, Desmond and Ashween to go watch Watchmen.(Men, pun was not intended) However, due to the bleak reviews from Ashween as well as the lack of stars from TheStar newspaper reviews, we decided to watch Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.



First things first, I you are VERY strict about adhering to your no-spoilers low-info diet, then you might not want to read this few paragraphs.But then again the movie's story didnt make much sense. Although it might be just because i dont know much about Street Fighter, i think the story is just pretty random. I mean, when the movie started in the cinema, the starting title thing was so video-game like i was waiting for the "Press "SELECT" button to start" message to pop up. Random comments aside, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li was seriously random.

To start things off, there was an exploding wine bottle, a weird scroll, a weird Auntie who only appears for one scene, big black man, fruit throwing, a high class lesbian, a Thai S.W.A.T, a guy called Gen who pops up everywhere, a member of the Black-Eyed-Peas, and an organization called Shadowloo. Yeah according to the subtitles its SHADOWLOO. Get it? Shadow Loo? Nope, i dont get it either, but its probably a light-deprived walled space for defaecation.


Bison, the leader of Shadowloo, and baddie in the movie




Yeah that's right: Taboo from Black Eyed Peas is in Street Fighter

And there was toooooooooo much monolog in the movie by the Chun Li. She was going on and on and on about OBVIOUS stuff and had to monolog everything she did. It went something like:



"I have come home",
"...the scroll said i have to go to Bangkok",
"I must be in pulse with the street",
"I was walking around",
"Life was hard",
"Life was a struggle",
"I had to find food",
"I am home again",
"I bought a banana",
"I peeled the banana",
"I took the banana skin and threw it",
"Damn",
"I missed the bin",
"I took the skin up again",
"I threw to banana skin into the bin",
"I did a good throw",
"I hit the bin",
"I ate the banana",

Okay fine, i added the last 10 lines. But seriously it felt as though those line were really in the movie. I nearly wanted to show out at the cinema "STOP TALKING AND GET ON WITH THE FIGTHING ALREADY, THE MOVIES CALLED STREET FIGTHER! NOT STREET TALKER"

Now that i got that off my chest i dont feel like hitting anyone. Because the movie felt so uneventful and random I nearly felt like i needed to create some fight of my own. Obviously the characters in the movie didnt share my thoughts. There wasnt that much cool fight scenes in the movie. Okay, to be fair there were some fight scenes and they were okay, its just i wished to see MORE and cooler fighthing. For example, it didnt really get that bird necklace thingy or the headstand spinning kick thing. Is it some kind of signature move in the game? Cause they only showed it once in the movie.

To sum it all up, the movie was filled with tons of random scenes they could just cut out of the movie. The Interpol investigator and that Thai Policewomen, didnt didnt do that much. And that White Rose, didnt even understand why it was there. Actually there was so many random stuff, if I did comment about it all in this blog it would turn out like the movie too: Filled with unescessary random bits.

Just Another Day...and Blogpost

March 13th, Friday. Yeap that's right Friday the 13th. But that's probably the least of the worries on some of the student's minds. That is because on this paticular 13th day of the month , on the fifth weekday, it is Open Day. Probbaly known to some as Hari Terbuka, Report Card Day, Teacher-meets-Parents Day, Parent-meet-Results Day, or Doomsday. However, to me, Open Day was nothing much out of the ordinary. Went to school, parents came early to take card, couldnt go home ...yet. Stayed in school for random things. Pretty much less pain, torture, and dread then some people's Open Day.

So the teacher's didnt teach for half the day. And the other half of school day where there was supposed to have lesson only 1 teacher taught. Okay, okay, i know even ONE teacher teaching on Open Day is abit of a surprise, but other wise the day was filled with free time. What did i do with my free time you ask? Well i decided to try to revamp the look of my blog*. Thus, with immediate affect** my blog suspended under construction***.
