Plagiarism, I miss you....

GAHHHHH!!!! NEED. TO. VENT!

This sucks man. I've been spending almost the whole day working on this essay and still can't pass that 500 word mark. Haven't even passed 400 words. I've read the material and stuff and got a plan, but still theres no easy flow. I can't start working on my other essays (which are easier but still excruciating to do) yet because of this pile of crap. All the hours spent in the library this whole week has only accounted for 300+ words.

On a side note, winter break is in less than two weeks for me. Oh how time flies. Lets just hope it flies even faster during spring. I'm starting to miss home.

Its the 24th and I'm feeling almost everything right now. I have less than 19 hours left in Brunei and god how I hope it goes by slowly. Feel like I shouldn't sleep tonight but my gut tells me I should. This might be corny and emo if you may but screw it: I'd like to thank everyone and I mean everyone for all the good they've done and all the bad too. Also sorry for everything.

As the cliche goes: this is not goodbye, will see you later :'D

PS: will be missing, not mostly though, all the late night ventures with the Bungster and just lying around the house doing nothing with the cats.

Sometimes I wonder why I didn't choose to take up history as my course for Uni. But last night I found out why: I love history too much that I'd rather learn about it myself without ever being graded about it (again).

Last night I was at my grandparents' house for an impromptu visit and while I was there I found very old photos of my granddad back when he was in his 30s. I won't tell you much here because I intend to blog about it when I can get hold of these pictures (which I really hope is soon). All I'm gonna say is that, to me, my grandpa was awesome.

This morning I came across a few videos which really irked me. I won't say much about this matter also. I will only be saying: your great-gradfather gave up his rights when he decided to flee. Running like a coward into the woods/to another country makes you less of a man. A man undeserving of any subordinates. Enough said.

Later, alligators! =D

As of Friday 3rd July 2009, Manchester United, the team that I have followed and supported for the rest of my life, has officially signed former Liverpool star Michael Owen on a free transfer. It is reported that the English marksman (or whats left of him) will be earning a 50,000 pound a week salary and possibly a pay-as-you-play wage.

never saw this coming....

After losing high profile players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, many (including yours truly) expected United to splash some money around in siging replacements of the same calibre into the fray. However, despite reaping 80 million pounds from the sale of CR7 which brings United's transfer kitty, as they call it, to a 100 million pounds, United have only spent a rumoured 17 million on their first signing Luis Antonio Valencia. Many have scoffed at United's transfer activities in this ever so important transfer period but United and SAF are not to be solely blamed.

Real Madrid, home of the scorned Galacticos, have been some sort of a leaky drain in their spending. High profile signings, Kaka, Ronaldo, Albiol and potentially Benzema, Ribery and Maicon, has seen United running out of options on players. It is rumoured that United's next targets are Sergio 'Kun' Aguero from Atletico Madrid, Luis Fabiano from Sevilla and Ibrahimovic of Inter. It is highly unlikely though for United to sign either players with El Kun's release clause is worth 60 million euros, Luis Fabiano is a tad bit too old and Ibrahimovic is just a dream away.

Off to be a Blanco

But do we really need any more forwards? With the likes of Rooney, Berbatov and Owen being 'senior' forwards and Danny Welbeck and Frederico Macheda rising through the ranks, United's strike force is more than sufficient. All these players can surely contribute to the goal tally but only under one condition: United need to sign a playmaker of some sorts in the centre of midfield.

The strike force!

The Young Devils

If any of you watched the Champions League final against Barcelona, it was evident that United were the weakest in the middle of the field. Xavi and Iniesta dominated over United's 'mediocre' central midfielders. So the solution here for the Red Devils in order to retain EPL glory and reach and win another Champons League final is a central midfielder who can complete passes and win tackles. We had that once when Roy Keane was in service or when Paul Scholes was in his prime but those years have faded and its time for things to change.

There are many options for the Red Devils. The likes of Youann Gourcuff and Jeremy Toulalan and come into my mind but is an unrealistic dream though with Gourcuff just signing a four year deal with Bordeaux and Jeremy Toulalan is everything but a traitor to Lyon. Then down the pecking order comes the names of Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho. These players have made names for themselves in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon and are established internationals. However are they good enough for United? Veloso is known for inconsistency and Moutinho although can hold the ball in the centre of midfield, his strength and commanding prowess is doubtful. And on a side note: all the names above seem to be 'nice' guys and what United really need are players with the charisma of Eric Cantona, vision of Paul Scholes, fighting nature of Roy Keane and the work rate of Wayne Rooney. A player of that calibre may as well be the best player to ever exist (sorry Ronny but you're just not that good personally) and surely United would be able to dominate for many years to come.

The Ginger Magician

However finding a player with such criterias is, as I utter repeatedly , impossible. It really is heartbreaking when you (you I mean 'me') think about it. There is no such player in existence like that. So what I think United should do is carry on what they do best: harness and develop the talent instead of search for it. Currently in our squad we have Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Owen Hargreaves, Darron Gibson, Paul Scholes, Park Ji Sung and Ryan Giggs who can play in the centre. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are approaching the twilights of their careers and I expect them to see limited amount of play time in the next term, which would possibly be their last. Darron Gibson is untested and lacks experience and the latter also can be applied to Anderson. Owen Hargreaves is crocked but I have total faith in him and Park Ji Sung is more effective playing by the wings. The only ones left are Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick. Both unsung heroes but the latter gets more adulations than the former which to me is rather unfair. Darren Fletcher is a reliable workhorse when you expect him to hold the ball and Michael Carrick can surely breakdown defences with his cutting diagonal passes. But these two players are only effective as one.

Heart of the midfield

When one can pass the other can't. When one keeps possession the other can't. So to say either of them can play well only if the other one does too. The missing factor in the United midfield is none other than Owen Hargreaves. As both of the aforementioned unsung heroes are not really defensive in their nature (Fletcher used to be a winger and Carrick can't relly hold possession), 'Hargo' can and will cover for them. At top form, he can be as solid and commanding as both Ferdinand and Vidic combined, aggressive and committed as Rooney and the dearly departed Tevez, score goals from dead ball situation like he who will be forgotten and the versatiliy that should be named 'The Hargreaves'.

The solution to all the Devils' woes

But just to be safe United should sign someone who can cover for Hargreaves when he's out.

He came, he saw, he conquered and popped his collar!
There's only one number 7!

PS: I was really disappointed when Benzema chose Real over United. I thought he could be the successor of l'enfant terribles, Eric Cantona, and wear the number 7 shirt proudly. But like I said United don't need another striker, they need a playmaker.

Without ME its just AWESO!

on 7/01/2009 03:30:00 AM
That makes perfect sense. A few months back I was going through a phase in my life where I was keen on dressing smart i.e. buttoned down shirts all the time. But now it seems that that phase has passed and I'm really into t-shirts now. I've been following bustedtees, a website where they sell t-shirts designed by normal people, for quite a while now and it seems that if I were to wear t-shirts for the rest of my life, I'd be wearing those from bustedtees.


This one cracks me up all the time! In case you don't get it thats MAO Tse Tung

They also have classic stuff like the uber cool Voltron! And the caption! HAHAHA

First rule of Fight Club: Do Not talk about Fight Club!

One word: Awesome!

LOL


E.T. pwned home!

This one I really like!

GAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

But I bet if I get my hands on these shirts and wear them in Brunei, only a handful would get it. Oh wait that would be kinda great.

Antonio Valencia... United's new number 7

on 6/30/2009 10:11:00 PM
It's official! Antonio Valencia the Ecuadorian star and playmaker, previously of Wigan Athletic, has signed a 4 year contract with Manchester United with an undisclosed fee agreed betwen Wigan and United. Valencia will take over the reigns of the illustrious number 7 shirt from the confirmed departee (yes thats all you are to me CR7, just a departee) Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now that that's done: "OI SAF!!!!! Sign Benzema next! Thanks~~~!!!"

And I think United should get a defensive midfielder just to cover Hargreaves until he is fit.

Finally an answer!

on 6/04/2009 10:33:00 AM
"Why do we celebrate National Day on the 23rd of February?"

This question has been bugging me for a long time now. I've asked many about this and none of them gave me an answer. Not my history teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles etc. But now I just found out the answer.

The reason why we celebrate our National Day on the 23rd of February is because even though we achieved our independence from the British on the 1st of January 1984, we were only freed of their rule by then and not their protection. It was 54 days later, 23rd February 1984, that we achieved independence from the protection of the British.

HAH!!!! THERE YOU GO MRS SINGH!!!!

United - ogres, prettyboys, koreans etc

on 5/27/2009 03:07:00 AM
We're moments away from the defining match of the season. The Champions League Final between Manchester United and Barcelona to be precise. Both teams are currently, in my opinion, the two best football clubs in the world and are on top form at the moment. Barcelona, with the likes of Messi, Henry and Eto'o leading the attack look a formidable threat to United's quadruple hopes. But have no fear United fans because United also have their kick-ass trident attack.

Leading the trident attack is Wayne Rooney. He has been prolific in front of goal this season. Despite not scoring a lot of goals, he has missed lots of chances which means that his selfless behaviour, which at times are wonderful for the team but not always, is gone and is now more of a deadlier predator. Apart from that, hehas also starred in three movies where he being the beast gets the girl and rules as king in the end. Don't know what I'm talking about? Well just take a look at the picture below taken from his latest movie:



Shrek 3: Pursuit of the Triple Successive BPL wins

As support to the attack, Cristiano Ronaldo and Park Ji Sung. We are not unfamiliar with Cristiano Ronaldo's skills as a footballer. His thunderous earth shattering freekicks, his dribbles, speed, pace, acceleration, deadliness in front of goal and good looks *EEEEKKKKK* (please detect the sarcasm) makes him almost the perfect footballer. But football isn't the only sport he plays. Recently he was called up to join his national side's, Portugal, Olympic diving team:


Verdict: 10 out of 10. Perfect timing, composure and most importantly believable (if you were a sucker). Go for Gold Cristy!

Park Ji Sung, despite being underrated in England is much more of a cult figure in Asia especially in his homeland South Korea. To me he is the most hard working player n the United team. You can see him run up and down the flanks chasing after the ball relentlessy and winning. Asked in an interview what his plans were after football he said: "I think I'm gonna follow in Eric Cantona's steps and act" and act he will. Posts on fan boy/girl pages are raving about the prospect of him appearing on Korean dramas:

 
Sim aku post pasal Korean LOL!

On the bench we've got two othe prolific strikers - Tevez and Berbatov. Both if summed up cost $50 million. Man I wish somebody paid that amount of money just to have me sit on a bench for a large fraction of 90 minutes every week. Berbatov and Tevez play very important roles while on the pitch but because of their public behaviour, managerSir Alex Ferguson, decided enough was enough and is gonna bench them possibly for 60 minutes or for the whole game.

 Berbatov (some might know him as count) was caught in the streets sucking blood out of the necks of United Supporters.

 Asked why he did this: "I just wanted to pwn that guy - Edward's ass!"

Tevez has also risen dispute in the United camp asking for more money as he was jealous of his brother earning more than him:


Pictured: Tevez (left) and his brother - that dude from Red Hot Chilli Peppers (right)
*Stay*

So with that amount of firepower it's safe to say United are gonna win it tonight!

Your favourite yellow-skinned (jaundiced?) family

on 5/20/2009 03:04:00 PM
I just finished watching a few episodes of the Simpsons and there was this particular episode where Milhouse was having a birthday party which made me think: "They always have birthday parties but they still turn the same age". Ok So I googled for their birthdays and found these:

Lisa Simpson's birthday is on September 28th, 1981

Homer Simpson's birthday is on December 5th or May 12th, 1956

Marge Simpson's birthday is October 1st, 1954 or 1956 (she said it herself on Marge Gamer)

Bart Simpson's birthday is April Fool's day, 1979

Maggie Simpson's Birthday is in November of 1986 (she was turning one during the tracy ullman shorts)

Looks like Lisa, Marge, and Maggie was born in the Ber' months (September, October, November and December).

I dont know about the others but I'm sure Homer's birthday is correct. I've got the evidence right here:




Lol so he's 52/53? I should've gotten him a birthday present for all the good he brought to the world. Man that picture cracks me up!

On other things Simpsons, the US Government has recognised the contributions the Simpsons have brought to the entertainment business. So they issued Simpsons stamps. 


 
I've gotta get me these to add to my Simpsons memorabilia

Toys for the big boys!

on 5/20/2009 01:54:00 PM
I know its too early for a second post but I just had to do it. I just got back from gift hunting with my mum. We were searching for a birthday present for one of my nieces. She's turning 1 in a few days. In other words - I don't really care =D. What's the point of getting a birthday present for someone who wouldn't even remember their birthday even the day after their birthday?

Anyway back to the main point. Me and my mom went to Bebeland at HuaHo Manggis and it felt like geek heaven to me. THere were toys... toys for big boys. HAHAHA. There were many transformers action figures. There were many marvel toys also including the new Super Hero Squad collection.  There were Hulk stuff too. But the most eye-catching toy was the claws. Yep the claws. THe one that go "SHING!" "SLASH!" and "SWOOSH!".  I'm talking about thee claws:




Ok that sucked. Those were wolverine claws. So those weren't clear but the one below is as sharp as... anything sharp I guess.



I want one of those! =D

Protectorate and residency - yes. But colony? Never

on 5/20/2009 10:40:00 AM
With the scholarship interviews lurking right around the corner, I've taken initiative in brushing up on my knowledge of Brunei Darussalam. I've been memorising the ministers' names, important dates, themes and so on. I guess you can say I've gone all MIB now.

Speaking of MIB. Last night the MIB Concept Forum was held at the ICC Plenary Hall, which I regrettably missed due to bodyaches and lethargy, in accordance with the Silver Jubilee National Day 2009. In attendance wah HM the Sultan, the royal family, nobles, ministers and the 'rakyat' of Brunei Darussalam. Do you know why I regret not attending the event? It's because there were - in my own terms - epic moments according to my parents. HM started the proceedings with a speech questioning the reliabiity of the MIB board which was appointed in 2001. Then as it was a forum, the chairman of the ostentatious occasion was berated by meny questions which led to some heavy discussion at some points. At least I think it was heavy as the event ended 10 minutes before midnight.

I know that might not seem interesting to you but to me, it's my cup of tea (I hope I'm using this expression correctly).

Despite missing out on the event, I managed to get a copy of the Titah book and the program book (which contains lots of information on the hierarchy of the Brunei government and other information). I've started reading the Titah book and I find it very interesting and informative. 

When I read the first Titah in the book, I had chills all over. The Titah was delivered on the day Brunei achieved it's independence. I could not imagine the sense of pride, joy and relief of those in attendance of that auspicious occasion. It brought me back to form 4 - when I was learning about the history of Brunei. Then it didn't seem as interesting, probably because it seemed to me as a task that I HAD to do. But now, there is a sense of pride in learning about Brunei and it's history <--- Don't mind this, it's just the historian in me talking.

I realise that not everything that I'm reading about is necessary in the interviews. It might even be ok not to know some stuff and be honest about it. But seeing that I've got lots of free time, I might as well spend it on stimulating my brain.

Anyone read the papers lately?

on 5/18/2009 11:14:00 AM

I stumbled upon an article from the opinions section in the Borneo Bulletin Weekend edition which really caught my attention. It goes:



Small could be beautiful


I was interested in the comments of the Minister of Finance II stating that we should be prudent in our spending in this time of global downturn. Here's my suggestion, why not the government change all the luxury cars to more cheaper but reliable cars. Think of the money saved in maintenance and upkeep of our expensive cars. Take for example the Prime Minister of Malaysia. He's using a Proton Perdana as his officially car. The Prime Minister of India is using a Tata. -Citizen



Who needs 6000cc gas guzzling luxury cars like the Mercs, BMWs and Lexus' when 1500cc (like my Vios =D) efficient and economic cars can go just as fast and gives you comfort at the same time? Sure those luxury cars are alluring and very appealing. But let me tell you this: the so called 'normal' cars are too. Sometimes I think 'normal' cars are better than those luxury cars because to me, they have more character than the Mercs and BMWs (which all look the same). So it's time to think people. Living materialistically or pragmatically? You decide!

Nasi Katok - one of the things I'm grateful for being a Bruneian

on 5/14/2009 01:35:00 PM
In my 2 weeks of perma-employment (now I'm just on call until the night shifts starts next week or the week after) my lunch menu consisted of rice, sambal (gravy) and chicken. Yes people, I'm talking about Nasi Katok - undoubtedly the most versatile, economic and fulfilling meal ever. So in those two weeks, I found myself obsessed with Nasi Katok. Every morning before lunch, I'd think about what type of nasi katok I'd eat for lunch that day and where. My obsessions with this "culinary innovation" led me to google it and I found this:
Definition:

Nasi: Rice.
Katok (originally “Ketuk”): Knock.
Nasi Katok: B$1.00 meal consisting of rice, sambal and chicken. Sambal can be categorised into biasa and padas.

History:

The reason why the name “Nasi Katok” derived from this family who lived in Ong Sum Ping who (used to?) sell these so-called nasi bungkus meal only at night time. Why Katok? Translating the word “katok”, as above, is knock. This means that people who wanted to buy this nasi katok has to knock on the door and then make their order. This Ong Sum Ping resident is the pioneers of the evergrowing Nasi Katok outlets in Brunei.

Development:

Nasi Katok has gain its popularity over these past months. Until today, you can find at least one Nasi Katok outlet in every area. A few of those who are successful in this business managed to open up another branch elsewhere. I am quite amazed by their hardwork in filling up the tummies of Bruneians (and foreigners).

Despite not knowing the extent of it's accuracy and precision, since it is the only information availabe on nasi katok on the internet it is logical to think that the aforementioned information is as closest to the truth as possible (iyea star trek talk). I always thought that Nasi Katok originated from the Lambak area. Also nasi katok does not only come with chicken. There's this place I know, close to where I live by the way (which is the best in my opinion),  that serves nasi katok lambchop. Doesn't that make you drool?

Evenly painted walls are overrated...

on 5/14/2009 09:00:00 AM
I painted my room for the past two days. Well I tried to anyway. I only managed to paint 3 out of 4 of my walls and of those three, I only got to paint from the bottom of the wall to the point 2 feet from the top of the wall. Bummer ey? So yeah my walls aren't evenly painted, my door framesand floor have splatters of blue paint and I think I kinda fractured (worst case scenario) my finger (yeah you know which one) or maybe just bruised it.

But looking at the bright side.... no harm was done. Everything feels normal. Like nothing really happened - the walls are still blue if you dont look at them carefullyand who really notices door frames right? (although my finger is really sore. I think I should get it checked or something). I'd like to thank Fadhil for helping me out in trying to paint my room. I don't think we made a diffference though.

I just found a new thing to add to the collection of things that make my room very crowded. My parents recently bought a recliner. Its not those expensive leather ones though. I don't really know how to explain it but I'd say a hammock on a chair which reclines is close. I think. I've dozed off a few times today on it - which is one of the main features to look for in furniture. It's so comfortable that I think I'm gonna sleep on it tonight.

It look like its gonna rain tonight. Heavily. The wind is already blowing ferociously. I expect to hear earth shattering thunder tonight. So don't fail me unstable weather!

I feel like blogging today

on 5/11/2009 08:21:00 AM
It's been a while.

Before I started working, I seriously despised doing nothing. But now that I've finished working (tentatively), I've come to see how precious these moments are. I've been having some "me" time lately. Getting away from all the rush of life and going through things one thing after the other.

Today started out with some exercise with the gang at Tasek Lama. There were new faces present. Amal and Zimin were there; Imi and Sim too. We jogged (more like strolled)  for a few laps and ended up sitting at the reflexology path way. We had a nice chat for 15-30 minutes and then sought to go home. Just as I was getting into my car Zimin called me and gave back some books that he had borrowed from me. One of them was 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man'. That was the turning point of my day.

Prior to that moment, I hadn't really planned on what to do for the rest of the day. I already decided that I was going to HSBC to cash in my paycheck and go to the car wash. That was just it. But since Zimin gave a good review on the EHM book on his blog, I decided at the moment he returned that book to me, I was gonna start to read the book.

I haven't really been reading much lately. The last book I attempted to read was 'Hot, Flat and Crowded' but I stopped because there were too many distractions. But now I've found a solution to this problem - read at unfamiliar places. No I'm not talking about places at home, but places where I have to drive to. I'm already through chapter 4 (each and every chapter at different places and time) of the book and it's safe to say that I'm deeply enthralled in it. Also I've never been as thrilled into reading like this before. Maybe the combination of something most people deem as 'bland and boring' like reading and something 'enjoyable and fun' as travelling(in this sense driving around) sums up to become something very appealing. I read chapter 1 of the book at Ceri Cafe whilst enjoying an ice blended caramel latte and some garlic bread. Chapter 2 at the car wash. Chapter 3 at the Pertama Jaya (Lambak) parking lot and Chapter 4 at Pantai Meragang.

I'll post updates in the sidebar on the places where I read the book. The carnal rule to this scheme is to never read at the same place more than once. So I guess said places in the previous paragraph cannot be used anymore. Oh and I'd like suggestions on places where to read.

Oh yeah I had a nice nap at Pantai Meragang just now. Nothing like 15 minutes full of 'zzz' in the car.

My First Job

Yesterday I started work. Yay! I don't think I'm at liberty to discuss the operations of what I do but all I can tell you is that I work as a Data Entry Clerk at Expansys Technologies located on the top floor of iCentre (Your Innovation Centre - iyea) which means I'm one floor above Ranoadidas who I think I will meet today if not on Friday. Why Friday? well on Fidays the iCentre family (they're familial there) gathers at Coffee Zone down below and has sort of an activity called 'The Breakfast Club'. Our employers said that this Friday all of us new staff will be introduced to the whole of iCentre. And oh yeah they have a Foosbal table.

I guess this is the closest I can get to working in Collegehumor.

Movies are AWESOME!!! (you can say you were wrong man, I'll forgive you)

Man this video clip is very close to my heart. I know you guys might think I'm talking about Megan Fox but actually no, not entirely though. There's a scene in the clip that really touches me. The one when Sam tells Bumblebee: "You'll always be my first car". Well the time to sell my Vitara has come and soon it'll be out of my life forever which is kind of sad because I've had quite a few memories in that car een though I've only been driving it for about 8-9 months. It is (and will be was) the first car I ever drove in my entire life. I've hosted a Nutella Party in that car.

It's been a good ride and I guess I have to move on to bigger and better things, steed-wise, just like what Sam said in the clip to Bumblebee. WTF am I saying? How can you move on to bigger and better rides than a car that transforms into a badass robot?!!! I don't care if you're dating Megan Fox, talking cars are awesome.

My parents are getting me a new (not really) car. Too bad they got the car before I saw this video clip. If I knew Bumblebee was available I would've pitched him in for my new car.

This video was shot with 1000 frames per second and I am really impressed. Seeing how everything moves in high-def sure changes how a guy views life. LOL!

It's just not funny anymore... but it still makes me laugh

Last night while searching the internet for knowledgeable material (the internet meaning collegehumor.com and knowledgeable material meaning tings to fill in my time) I stumbled upon.... hmmm I don't really no what to call it... it's not really a creation because they didn't realy create it but it's also not an improvisation as the main part of it was removed. So I guess we'll have to do with an innovation.

I stumbled upon Garield-minus-Garfield right after I stumbled upon quarterlifecomics (which will not be covered in this or future posts). Garfield-minus-Garfield is described as:

a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Sounds to me that he's not really depressed. Instead, I think he's got an abundance of time to do nothing. Believe me I can relate. He's just like you and me.

Flight....

or maybe after you've seen this video maybe not. I've been wanting to share this video which I found on youtube for a long time now but seemed to have forgotten to do so again and again. I don't know if I've shared this vid before but I've checked my archives and no traces of it were found. So enjoy...

I know I've been neglecting this *cough*sorryexcusefora*cough* blog and I really do feel guilty. So to rid myself of all this guilt I present thee... pictures that I delayed from posting time after time.

Spiderman is not gay at all (please detect the sarcasm).


He actually said "I'm web shooting spidey!" but that wasn't funny at all...


I'm proud to say: "Didn't even have to edit this..."


HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA



I smile whenever I see this picture....

I never realised it until I started using them but camera-phones sure are handy.
