Apa kata kalau malam ini tak berkesudahandan berpanjangan seperti tidak akan ada lagi sianguntuk esok, lusa dan mungkin untuk satu masa yang panjangYang ada cuma panahan anak-anak mentari di celah-celah awan tebal yang gelap, Adakah kita akan takut?Apakah kita akan sujud?Apakah kita akan terus wujud?
Bukan aku nak menakut-nakut atau cuba membuat berita derita gundah gulana.Bukan aku memandai-mandai, mereka-reka, meneka-neka sesaja-saja.Tanya saja kemungkinan ini pada ahli saintis seperti dalam National Geographic yang aku tengok tadi di kaca TV. Lake Toba si supervolcano yang meletus 75,000 tahun dahulu. Engkau nengoklah sendiri siaran ulangan Astro, entah-entah tadi yang aku tengok pun ulangan. Tahu sajalah cable tv yang mengulang-ngulang siaran,sekerap ulangan iklan di chanel AXN ketika KungFu Hustle semalamnya. Argh, tapi aku melencong dari topik asal aku...
Apa kata beb?
**lagu "Kata" Hazami tu dengo banyak kali macam sedap jugak..

Perkara yang paling bahaya adalah apabila seseorang itu berasa dia lebih pandai dari seseorang setiap masa. At least itu yang apa aku fikir. Satu kerugian yang sangat besar juga. Tapi, satu kerugian juga jika seseorang mengganggap dirinya lebih bodoh dari orang lain sehingga menyebabkan hilang harga diri, low self esteem lah. Cara yang paling baik mungkin bersikap terbuka tapi kritikal. Berfikir sebelum bercakap, diam ketika orang lain bercakap. Mungkin ini yang dinamakan accurate thinking oleh Napoleon Hill.
Buat seketika ini, ketika jari jemariku menaip, otakku bercakap-cakap dan berfikir serentak. Boleh ke macam gitu?
Kita tak boleh menipu otak kita sendiri. Teori aku la. Sama seperti kita tak boleh geletek diri kita untuk ketawa. (Cubalah) Alah, buat pe nak tipu otak sendiri? Tak ke bodoh namanya.
Perutku lapar kata otak aku. So aku stop bercakap kat sini ok. Blah dulu!

Lie. Who doesn't? People who say they never lied are liars. People lie all the times. For different reasons. People lie to get themselves off the hook. "It wasn't me!¨."It's the truth, i didn't do it¨.People lie to protect others. "It was me not him¨. ¨People lie to comfort others. "No, you look fine, it look great on you baby!¨. To satisfy. People lie to hide their weakness. "Why is the moon seems to follow you son? Because the moon likes you¨.People lie to break free. "I'm going out with my girlfriends mom, no boys,be back early¨. When a lie turns to cheat, it get worse. "No, honey, i'll will love you forever, i never knew that woman, never met her before, you know you're the only one for me love". "This is a bargain miss, if don't buy it, you're gonna regret later, today is the last offer" .But still, lying and cheating is two different things. Two very very different things. But having a thing in common, human beings.
Question : Do you believe in happy endings? Right now, me, i just wish for happy in betweens, don't care about endings or beginnings. Just want my fair cut of happiness in this unfair world!

words
responsibilty ~ adakah datang dari the ability to response, the will to act, the power to submit, the discipline to pursue?
bahasa melayunya "tanggungjawab" kan? ~ org yg kena jawab - jawab = penyelesaian, tanggung = sara , tentunya bukan saraselesai tetapi lebih kepada selenggara, seperti penyelengara yang mengendalikan sesuatu maka dia bertanggungjawab atas tugas itu. kalau tak tentu sengsara kerana tak dapat menjawab kenapa tugas tak selesai. maka dia yang tanggung akibatnya. gara-gara tak menyelenggarakan dengan betul tugas itu. habis tunggang langgang dia menanggung tanggungjawab itu.

it's been more than a week.. unconnected to my other world or into some other people world, into their words, wisdom, joy or the whatever. i'm so tied up. but i guess thats not important now. enough of the busyness of the moment. is there a word like busyness? argh...forget about it.
i think i'm gonna bebel it all out. dont care if anybody care. so what's does it gonna be? no idea.
u know sometimes i think we're all just puppets and dolls. taking for granted everything that been fed. never pause to ask why. we agree with the majority coz the majority will win and it hurts to be a loser. minority is not a good place to be. afraid to be called silly. angguk2 geleng2 ikut rentak macam burung kakak tua nyanyuk yang hanya nak kraker. kalau yang di ikut betul takpe. kalau betul pun ngape tak tanya? supaya lebih faham. to appreciate more.
why do people send their children to schools? becoz everybody is doing it. becoz its the law. cant education be better than school only?.or does school is really enough? then hoping their children to the uni. clever little boy, anak bapak, high edu, high salary, good life. Education is a business itself. promising a better life. man create a system and push people to agree. i tell u school is a must, edu is, but not enough. stop here.
i'm bebeling as it goes, so forgive me if it doesnt make sense to you, who ever you are.
as far as religion is, how many of us could say that they really know why they are devoters to their religion? I was born a muslim. I should be thankful. I am. But sometimes, I think people who aren't born a muslim and converted to be one, is better in terms of discovering and embracing the teachings. better than me, speaking for myself. I mean just think, these people questioned their meaning of life, searching, seeking the truth, understanding the messages of God and later find peace in themselves and in their lives. while me, taken for granted everything, taking from textbooks, learning from so called wise man and yes they are wise but afraid or never ask why? why? fear. i imagine myself and ask myself, what if i was born to a different type of religion or belief family? i think u should ask urself this question too. will we find the truth? the truth is the truth but where does it comes from? i now realized that i got to find the meaning of 'naik saksi'. what does it means. u get me? go to the roots of the matter. to get down to the nitty gritty. until then will i rest at peace with myself. finding myself is the key. and thats what it means by life education. stop here.
korang ngk tak malaysian idol? sucks! and i blame it all at the judges. i mean they choose these bunch before the sms voting. so it leave us ( or the voters, i am never an sms voter) not much choice. the 12 finalist got talent but not that so good to be an idol u see. I've seen the auditions and i think there are better ones than these dozen. but the lame judges pick out these 12. argh..kcuf mi2! forget it!
i come to think that reality shows are getting too real. to the point of faking. after the first season everybody know how's the game is played and nobody seems to genuine anymore. u can see it on the apprentice, af, idol, swan, every other reality show. so what is reality? reality is about being fake to get in front. u can vote urself cant u? ur father is the tokey kayu balak, why not? just like politic i think, where u can buy votes too. now everybody starts to get into the band wagon. reality all the way. britney does it, paris does it, branson does it. when will it stop? i only can say that bersamamu is totally the show that shows reality. and what about the other show mencari cinta? big time lame as a kambeng face in the rain. why not put a show mencari tuhan? or mencari ayah pin : where are hiding man?
But come to think of it, like the saying, life is a stage. from shakespeare i think. then we are all actors. we act daily all the time. what about pro wrestling? i think they are all great actors. yet people believed that they really fighting. there's good guys and bad guys. I was once that people. Now no more. Exposure, maturity and common sense changed me. but then, its ok to love em. i mean why not? just treat em like a live performance. a play like in threatre. plain entertainment. just like the movies. never real just acting. pure entertainment to the amused. why not? right?

BUKAN POYO!!
Dah dekat semingu aku tak blog. Well aku sakit n buat2 sibuk. U know what they say " if u ain' bz then u r not important!". So bagi mereka2 yg tak bz, buat2 la bz even to the point of bzbody. Okeh aku ade byk nak tulis, but at this moment perut sgt lapar. Oleh kerana aku tak mengizinkan bontotku bangun dari kusi ini maka aku akan berposa sehingga pukul 5 pagi ni di mana aku akan go straight to restoran 25 jam kat larkin for breakfast of roti prata(without kas-kas).
Aku byk tulis2 bubbles2ku (some might say poems or sajak, i prefer to name em bubbles, bubbles of my mind) di kertas2 nota ku yg sentiasa aku bawa ke sana ke sini. Takut2 kebosanan melanda, maka pen n kertas jadi member setiaku. Kalau sempat aku akan blog ari ni. This past week aku tk boleh tdo selagi tak sampai pukul 5 atau 6 pagi. Dont know why. Well ade astro EPL menolong but boredom cepat menyelinap lebih2 lagi pasukan aku Newcastle Utd main macam thaikkurcingg! Tadi aku amik amp, guitar n some music books aku dari umah member aku, so kalau aku takleh tdo atleast aku boleh practise my chops or write some songs.
Well, aku nak blog pasal album2 yg aku miliki, so maybe can share with u my tots on my music collections. Well aku start ngan album Adflin 'The slumberkodok dude" Shauki, Fuuyo! and n album from Al Di Meola "Elegant Gypsy". Aku rasa korang pon dah tau pasal PROJECT ADFLIN SHAUKI DAH HILANG AKAL .Aku pon ader oder, dan aku dapat kelmarin. Bad newsnye aku dapat kaset instead of CD. So aku dah email sekali lagi utk dapat CD lak, hopely dia anto.
FUUYO! REVIEW
well aku tak penah dengo adflin nyanyi serius sebelum ni. Album ni aku tau dah lama kuar, tapi aku tak jumpa di pasaran. Aku rasa dia lack promosi. Jadi pasal Adflin ni karektornya lucu, maybe aku ingat dulu la , album ni mesti album lawak..mcm album Salih Yacob n etc. Tu lah masalahnye bile org kelakor, risikonye people susah nak terima serius things. But after dengo album ni, I cud say dat its a good album n deserved to be in my prized music collections. Just look at the cover n inlay, gud quality. And even mastered in AUSTRALIA 301 studio. The 1st n 2nd track jumps staights to my ears on 1st listening. The music reminds me of Jamirouqai meets Macy Gray, funky n acidic jazz. Playing onwards, you will hear more jazzy stuff lounge kinda groove towards the end of the album. There's also pop ballads like Glenn kinda song. And in side two, I suddenly hear a familliar sound which turn out to be a song i heard before in the radio. And didnt know then that it was the slambakodok dude on vocals...hmm. Well all in all, get this album coz its not POYO but FUUYO! and you wont regret it!
ELEGANT GYPSY REVIEW
Saper Al Di Meola ? Well, he is a very very fast jazz guitar player. Dunno if he is still alive (i think he is). Macamana aku bole beli CD ni? semuanya pengaruh abang aku. Bile dia takde aku akan menyelongkar kaset2 collection dier masa aku kecik2. Antaranya ofkoss kaset Al. Aku decide beli CD ni bile aku teringat satu hari akan kesedapan (slurp!) album ni. It was years back n i bought it at TOWER bkt bintang plaza. Klau korang nak carik, ngk kat section jazz n classical. Album ini dirakam sebelum ku lahir, senang citer era 70an but the music so fresh. Try dengo Running With The Devil On Spanish Highway n all the tracks with your room lit with candles only n berbaring relax, tersangat la besh! Sampai sekarang aku rasa aku tak boleh main gitar seterer Al...iskhishkiskh...

Bergolek2 Dengan Gincu
Last week aku ngk Gol & Gincu kat wayang. Benda yg jarang2 aku buat. Ngk citer melayu. Well mula2 masa nak masuk aku segan lak nak beli tiket,pasal seme beli in group or couple,aku sorang2. Citer yg ader Stealth, Bewitched, Citer Hindustan, Ungu Violet & citer ciner & ofkos Gol & Gincu. So tolak citer industan (yg gerenti aku takan ngk walaupun free) & citer cine tuh(lain la ade Stephen Chow) tinggal lagi 4. Stealth, aku takde mood nak ngk citer action. Anyway member aku dah beli vcd dier(pinjamlagi bagus). Bewitched, walaupon aku suke sama Nicole tapi aku rasa watak ini bukan utk dia,she shud act in better film not a remake of this one. Maybe i will ngk vcd dier. So tinggal G&G n Ungu Violet. Mesia vs Indon. At least in my head anyway. Pikir punye pikir,what the neraka! Lets watch G&G!
So pay RM9 at counter and masuk time dah gelap (so no farkin people c me,not dat i'm malu watching malay film,NO! juz dat dont wanna ppl thinking, sapalah mamat ni dtg sorang? eh,WTF! nape aku pikir gini ek, aku nak ngk sorang2 sukati gorilla aku la! betui! betui! so next time aku masuk terang2...)
One thing aku notice film ni, gambo die terang n sharp,tak taulah pasal cinema ni ke atau proses film tuh. So gud, gud, i said to maself. Coz sometimes gambo ade itu apa org panggil mcm rambut kat screen dier. Tak besh lah kan? Cuba ko order mee goreng atau apa2 la and discover ada rambut kat mee ko tu. Bayangkan apa perasaan ko? N rambut tuh ko pasti bukan rambut atau bulu hidung ko atau pun misai udang kat mee tuh...tentu tak selera ek? Mcm gitulah aku...tak suka ade rerambut skrin tuh. Aku pentingkan kualiti (cheh! mcm bagus lak) Sebab tuh aku memilih hanya DVD9 ataupon VCD citakrum yg terbaik kopinyer aje..hehe.
Wah dah kejauh sampai ke mee lak aku. OK back to G&G review...
Cinematography nye bagus. Skrip sederhana tapi fresh. Fazura ok, Shasha bagus, scene playing futsal sucks! tak menyakinkan,but cukup utk deliver skrip. Extras dat deserves a pat on the back (or backside,whatver!) , the one playin J (juita) & the fat one. All other cast was good. Khatijah Tan watak yg sama kebelakangan ni, so takde new challenge for her.
Watak fazura (putri) mengingatkan aku watak spt Heather Graham (aku lupe la title movie tuh) and Lindsay Lohan (mean girls,teenage drama queen). Kire ok la, she dapat menjiwai watak tuh, but the watak is actually quite ez. Shasha is the better watak. (eh,watak dlm ingeliss apa? lupe lak...juz on the tip of my sweet tongue)
Secara keseluruhan film ni tak merugikan duit aku la ngk. Puasati la kireye. Korang yg belum ngk g lah ngk. Film ini aku gredkan atau masukkan dlm kategori remaja ringan.Kat US tiap tahun berlambak kuar jenis film camni. But apalah Malaywood (eh kalau translate jadi melayu kayu lak,tak besh!) ngan Hollywood kan? But kalau korang nak ngk film melayu remaja (mcm aku,remaja..hehe) yg bercirikan Malaysia, THIS IS THE FILM TO WATCH THIS YEAR!
And aku rasa aku akan go watch Bernard nye film akan dtg kalau ada...

Book :
I finished reading Losing My Virginity : Autobiography of Richard Branson, cool book, very thick and i just cant get enough. From Richard early age, school, lovelife to being the man who setting records and having his own mega business, the Virgin Group of companies including Virgin Atlantic, the commercial air service. Lots of humor and i love the way he form and build Virgin Records plus stories about his artistes, Mike Oldfield, The Sex Pistols, Phil Collins, Boy George, etc. I very much recommend this book to anyone who loves music, passion to achieve his/her dream and love life!
Price : Free, my fren from australia gave me as they are off back to down under. they did a garage sale and i bought 2 novels for rm10, very cheap. nobody wanna buy this book, so Lynn give it to me since i help her sold some books plus she said im the one holding the book for quite some time.hahaha. actually i was about to buy it, but then she said it was mine, so¡K
VCD :
Meet The Fockers, funny, but not as funny as Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow rawks! but great performance as always by Dustin Hoffman and De NiRO.
Ocean Twelve, well what can i say, it sucks! i fallen asleep at the 1st cd¡K
Price : Free again, actually kawan i bagi pinjam. I was with him at the vcd stall, when i want to buy some vcds, he would said, that one i bought already, this one also, this one also¡Kso why buy when u can borrow, right? You should have seen the face of the guy who sells the vcd, kinda pissed since i didnt bought any¡K
DVD:
The Wind Fighter, Korean true story about a korean guy who beat every Japanese martial arts fighter, Judo, Karate, Akaido, Samurai, whatever u name it, he beat them all¡Kvery entertaining, great stuff!

Symptoms Of Blogritis
How do you know if you are a blogholic?
Moshi moshi,
Well according to Dr. Inamorata W.Doodlebot of The Japan Institute of Vein Experiment (JIVE), a study on 1,021 people between the age of 15 to 45 who maintained or having blog/s or any kind of personal web diary/ies revealed that 21% of them showed the following patterns or behaviour changes when infected by the Blogritis virus :
1. Showing signs of stress or depression when having nothing to blog about. Some would cry and some would vomit blood. Yucks! Go see a doctor will ya.
2. Blog to just about everything! About his/her neighbour dog giving birth (with pictures too!) to about growing an acne on his/her face.
3. Having more than 7 blogs.(hehehe...i'm saved, got only 6)
4. Blogging while taking a dump with the laptop and blog about taking a dump. (Luckily, no pictures were inserted)
5.Changing and editing the blog template every half and hour.
6.Reading their own blog posts 3 times daily including the archives just to see whether there are spelling errors. Duh!
7. Saying 'NO' to wife/husband/gf/bf and prefers to blogging.

Moshi moshi,
Well according to Dr. Inamorata W.Doodlebot of The Japan Institute of Vein Experiment (JIVE), a study on 1,021 people between the age of 15 to 45 who maintained or having blog/s or any kind of personal web diary/ies revealed that 21% of them showed the following patterns or behaviour changes when infected by the Blogritis virus :
1. Showing signs of stress or depression when having nothing to blog about. Some would cry and some would vomit blood. Yucks! Go see a doctor will ya.
2. Blog to just about everything! About his/her neighbour dog giving birth (with pictures too!) to about growing an acne on his/her face.
3. Having more than 7 blogs.(hehehe...i'm saved, got only 6)
4. Blogging while taking a dump with the laptop and blog about taking a dump. (Luckily, no pictures were inserted)
5.Changing and editing the blog template every half and hour.
6.Reading their own blog posts 3 times daily including the archives just to see whether there are spelling errors. Duh!
7. Saying 'NO' to wife/husband/gf/bf and prefers to blogging.
8. His/her pet cat died and rot for a week for lack of sufficient food and attention.

EMO IQ
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE – notes from the book “The Cash flow Quadrant”
By Robert T. Kiyosaki
A big part in being human is being human. And being human means having emotions. All of us have the same emotions. We all feel fear, sadness, anger, love, hate, disappointment, joy, happiness and other emotions. What makes us individuals is how we handle those emotions.
Same emotions, different thought…different being…different doing…different having.Emotional IQ is more powerful than Academic IQ according to Daniel Goleman book, “Emotional Intelligence”. Goleman quotes 16th century humanist Eramus Rotterdam, who wrote a satirical vein of the perennial tension between reason and emotion.
In his writing, he uses the ratio of 24 : 1 in comparing the power of emotional brain to the rational brain. In other words, when emotions are in high gear, emotions are 24 times stronger than the rational mind. It is not known if this ratio is valid, but it does have some usefulness as a reference to the power of emotional thinking vs. rational thinking.
(24) Emotional Brain : (1 ) Rational Brain
All of us, if we are human, have experienced events in our lives when our emotions overtook our rational thoughts, most of us have:
1.Said something out of anger that we later wish we had not said.
2.Been attracted to someone we knew was not good for us…but still went out with them, or worse, married them.
3.Have cried, or seen someone cry uncontrollably, because the loss of a loved one.
4.Did something intentionally to hurt someone we love because we were hurt.
5.Had our heart broken and not gotten over it for a long time.
Those are just a few examples of emotions being stronger than rational thought. There are times when emotions are more than 24 : 1, and these are often called:
1.Addictions, such as compulsive eating, smoking, sex, shopping, drugs.
2.Phobias, such as fear of snakes, height, tight spaces, the dark, strangers.
These and other behaviors are often 100% emotionally driven. There is little power that rational thought has over the emotional thought when something as strong as addictions and phobias are involved.

The Best Medicine
Is laughter the best medicine? I mean, can it cure AIDS, breast cancer, leukemia or even the common flu? NOT!! But I guess it gives a kind of relief. When you can laugh at the things that have gone wrong in your life, you know that you are cured. Well, maybe just spiritually or mentally.
I read that the average adult laughed at least 17 times a day. Iye ker?? I’ve counted my laughter today and it is less than 17. Wait a minute, it says ‘average’, maybe I should keep track of a month laughter or 30 days. Wait again, it says ‘the average adult’. Am I an average adult? But first, Am I considered an adult? Arghhh…malas nak pikir...
It continues to say that only humans laugh. Then I thought, is this true? I mean I’ve heard of laughing hyenas. And I don’t mean cartoon characters like bugs bunny, Donald duck or that purple monster Barney. I mean real animals. Like monkeys, birds or dolphins. The scientists got it wrong. I know that animals do laugh. Scientists just have not found evidence to support the fact that animals do laugh thus they came out with a theory that only humans do. I think the animals are watching and laughing at what we humans have done to ourselves. The bad things to humanity and our earth. Maybe they are crying also….
Laughter – a physiological response to humor consisting of gestures and production of sounds. The Encyclopedia Britannica described it as “rhythmic, vocalized, expiratory and involuntarily actions".
Gestures and sounds. Yup, variations of ‘em. I got this friend who rubs his tummy when he is laughing. And he got this continuous giggles up to 2 minutes. And that is just for some minor jokes (well, to me anyway). He looks like a monkey. I think he laughed or acted like that just to get some attention at him or to add more humiliation at those he make fun of. I think that he should be a clown. He already looks and sounds like one. He only needed a red nose.
Another of my friend, laugh and hit people on the back or the shoulder. He usually hit before he laugh. This can be very irritating to me. I mean, if it just a gentle slap on the shoulder then it’s OK. But a blow like Hulk Hogan can make me want to return the slap just as hard and laugh as hard at him too.
And I also see people who laughed until tears rolls down their cheeks. Happened to me too. It tickles your funny bones to the extreme and you shed tears for nothing. The scientific explanation for this is that the extreme movement of the jaws of mouth by closing and opening caused the struggle for more oxygen and this causes tear ducts to shed and also causes the face to turn red. And maybe the ears too.
Sometimes I see people who close their mouth with the palms of their hands when they laughed. I think it’s because they have bad breath or ugly teeth or even no teeth at all (hahhaha).
They are also a variety sounds of laughter. The hi hi hi ( like hantu ones), the ha ha ha ( the regular ones), the ho ho ho ( the santa claus ones) with different levels of tone, pitch, duration and volume. It really depends on the personality of the person and how he/she perceived the humor. Some sounded like monkeys, some like chickens and some like Beavis and Butthead. Well nobody have the same laughter I think. Laughter is like fingerprints , no two are the same.

In the cyber world, other than audio voice, laughter is indicated by some icons or by typing certain letters. For instance you got this old thing, lol (laughing out loud) or variations as follows:
The usual hahaha, hihihi or hehehehe
Wakakakakakkakaka ( funny!) or
Muakakakakkakakaka ( funny up a level with the addition of “mua” in the front) or
Kekekeeekekekeke ( sheeplike laugh)
Kui kui kui kui kui kui ( birdlike laugh)
The length of the typed variation laughter shows how he/she perceived the humor.
Laughter is also used to show superiority or satisfaction. Like in the old cerita melayu, you can see the villains or orang jahat laughing senselessly or endlessly. Usually the head crook will laughed first followed by the rest of the crew. Or sometimes it shows evilness in progress. “Ha ha ha” rubbing palm of hands,” I’m going to kill them all and all the richness will be mine! Mine! Mine!” followed by a louder “ha ha ha ha ha” and maybe a thunder strike.
It also can be used a way to make money. Like being a clown or a comedian or whatever you called ‘em in the entertainment industry. Some made millions. Making people laugh and making money for themselves. In Japan they got this laughing contest. The longest time laughing, the most unique sound of laughter etc. etc.
I’ve also heard about a person who suffers continuous laughing. This person can’t stop laughing! That's odd! I thought laughter is the best medicine! Maybe I can say he is on medication. Laughing painfully.
Can we fake laughter? Of course we can. I hate those radio DJs who faked laughing at their own lame jokes. But can you tickle yourself to laugh? No. I don’t think so. I’ve tried.

nUTS
MASSA magazine reported that statistically 25% of Malaysian population suffers/experiencing/have mental problems/sickness/delusions or depression. And there are actually 205 types of psychological diseases. From the mild and unnoticed ones to the ultra chronic. Wow! 25%! That's a lot! 25% of crazy and wacky people in Malaysia. Then I start to wonder, am I in that 25%? How would I know?
Then I start to think, do animals have some sort of this mental problems? I mean I've heard of 'anjing gila' (dogs with rabies). My mother used to scare me when I was little, "Baik-baik, jangan main kat tepi jalan tu, ada anjing gila, nanti kena gigit, gila juga". And it worked too, scared the hell out of me. Well it was back then.
What if animals got into depression, what would they act like? What if these animals gets crazy? How would we know? What are the irregularities shown in their behavior? What are the signs? If they got really really depressed, would they commit suicide? Questions unanswered.
Suicide huh? Come to think of it, you always heard of or see some frogs, rabbits, raccoons, lizards got dead in the roads. Jumping to their death. Are they committing suicide? And cats climbed so high up the trees, are they attempting suicide?
But the question is, why would they be so depressed? Why would they want to commit suicide? Is it biological imbalance? Is it a virus infected disease? Are they experiencing emotional stress or problems? Are they having delusions?
Broken hearted cats. Dogs in unhappy relationships. Frogs on social pressure. Cows with grass supply issues. Sheeps suffering anorexia. Schizophrenic birds. Rabbits in a dilemma. Delusional mosquito. The list could go on and on. Endless possibilities.
I think I'll stop here. I'm going nuts! Hell, I'm in that 25%! Shit! Budush!

Fate??
Life is an everlasting momentum that flows through every continents, mountains, hills, the sea, the ocean and spanned throughout the nation and accidents don’t happened…really!
Nothing is a coincidence. Coincidence doesn’t happen. What happened is fate. Fate is a living creature. Creeps, crawl, living on us and feed on our lives like a parasite. Fate owns our life. Fate is like chains at our feet controlling our boundaries that have been wrote.
You can’t escape fate. Fate comes in different ways and faces. If you are afraid of fate, don’t live. And don’t kill yourself either…it’s fated. Fate is not an appearing act. Fate is every minute. Fate is now. Fate is the closing show.
One fine day it cornered you for good…whether you like it or not…without a second too soon and too late. Then it’s a new life, with a new fate of course!

Social Distortion
Traffic lights. Lots of 'em. Hate 'em, especially when it is a hot day and my car aircond is not working plus I'm late for an appointment! Sometimes I feel stupid you know. Here I am stopping at a red traffic light waiting for it to turn green when actually there is no other car passing by and it's already 3AM in the morning.
It feels like the other driver passing by at the opposite road is saying, "Hey stupid, just drive on! There's no car driving thru! It's 3am dude! There's no traffic police either! Who are you anyway? An angel!? Just drive you moron!"
And to add pressure, 2 more car are now lining behind my car. Probably saying the same thing, "Just drive man, there's no traffic, don't waste my time!"
But maybe it's just my thought. My negative thought to be exact. Nowadays traffic lights are more sophisticated. They got this digital counter to tell you how many seconds before it turns to red or green again. I like it, especially when I'm at the front, watching the red digit countdown..3..2..1..GO! Just like F1 racing! And when it's blinking green, from afar I know I got only 10 seconds to drive thru. Well I think traffic lights aren't bad after all. It tells me when to stop or go, or to slow down or get ready to go.
I wish in life there is some sort of traffic light to tell me when to stop or when to go at doing something. So I feel a little secure when it is green and knowing its red to do something. Life is like a journey. Whatever vehicle u're in, you choose a destiny. And you also got to choose whether to use the highway or the old way.
It doesn't mean that the highway could guarantee you better result but I guess it's easier and proven. But challenges lies everywhere. And no life is life without challenges and obstacles.
And it's good to have signs also. It's easier to know where we're heading in life to reach our destiny. Just like in the roads, I see signs that read, "turn left", "turn right","sharp turn ahead","winding road","Stop","No entry","one way", etc.etc.
If there is some sort of signs n traffic lights to guide our path in life, would it be good? I do not know. Maybe God have already given us signs but we could not see it or we have ignored it.
But even though there are signs n traffic lights in the roads, some people just won't follow. They don't stop at the red light and they don't bother to follow or even bother to read the signs.
Me, I have several times ran over red lights and some signs. Why did I do that? At those point of time maybe I just don't bother or I'm taking a calculated risk or I'm simply in a brief stupidity mode.
Looking back at my life, there are things that I've done or didn't do even though that the signs or warnings are at my awareness. Why? Simply because I'm not perfect. And you know what they say that rules are meant to be broken!

Therapy?/Delusions?/Insecurity?/
I read in the papers just the other day that shopping or window shopping is a good way to reduce stress among women. They did not mention anything about e-bay or e-shopping and or this sort of self therapy would give the same effect to the male counterpart. Maybe because males are less of a shopper themselves (but I like shopping though).
Maybe it is true. It can reduce the stress. But what I think is that this thing does not settled the problem or the stress but merely shifting it to another place.
How? Imagine a woman so stress out. One way to get some relief or joy is to go to the nearest mall or shopping complex for a shopping spree. Alone or with some friends (accomplices). Cash or credit cards. It doesn't matter. Whether she needed the things or not. Whether it matters if the sales girl says she looks like Kylie Minogue in that pink skirt (although she is in her forties) just to get extra commissions.
Whatever it takes to eliminate the stress away even for just a few hours in the mall and continued for another few hours in plush coffee shops, eating ice-creams (another ritual of the females to throw some stress away) and chat about stuff they bought. And how beautiful is the bottles of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume they just bought even if the contents and the smell is overpriced. Just because it's a designer perfume!
Yes, the stress is gone or reduced but it's actually at the same time slowly transferred to another place or person. Yup, guess what? The next location is the 'husbands' or 'bfs'. With all the credit card charged, the stress is on these poor dudes (transferred and settling in). So what do these guys do to release this stress??
You got it! Transfer it somewhere else. Maybe to someone else at the coffee shop, the mamak or wherever they like. Finding helping ears to listen to their distress. Maybe that helping ear is also doing the same thing, pouring his stress and worries out, vice versa. Feeding on each other and reducing the pain.
Maybe I'm over reacting on this issue. Maybe it's not an issue after all. Maybe those women just need an excuse to steal some time with friends doing stuff they like. Maybe these men also need to get away to do some guy stuff. Maybe it's not true at all that shopping can reduce stress. Well there's a lot of maybe here.
This reminds me of 'pain killer' pills. I usually take them when I have a toothache or headache. It lasted for a few hours, just enough so I can sleep painlessly. The pills tell my brain that my tooth are not aching, although it does. The pain is there but I can't feel it.
Just like shopping or hangin' out, it gives some joy and space to breathe but our problems or stress are still there.
Conclusion :
Painkillers, shopping, hanging out does not solve problems but give some temporary relief. Which is good.
My Prescriptions:
1)Paracetamol :
Always handy ( a pack of Milidon 500) I'll bring it anywhere I go, in case of emergency!
2)Shopping :
I rarely do. But if I do, I just shop for VCDs, DVDs, CDs, books or mags.
3)Hanging out :
Jamming Studio(need at least one friend to play the drums) 2 to 3 hours playing from Nirvana to Metallica, blues or whatever shit I remember.
Coffee Escape. For chillin' out alone, some soul searching. Usually in the evenings. Root beer float, Panini sandwich or some fries.
The mamaks. Lazy days. Minor stress. Nescafe tarik and The Malay Mail.
My bed. Absolute boredom. All day. Lazier days. Doing nothing. Just my soul. My body is useless this moment.
SHAKE BEFORE USE.
EXPIRY : UNTIL SANITY REAPPEARS.

If I am Superman...
The first thing I'll do is change the dorky name 'Superman'. It sounds so silly. Like bragging or some sort. Hey check it out I'm Superman! I mean c'mon it's the new millennium already. Gotta keep up with the time u know. How 'bout MOSH? It's easy to remember, it's sounds fresh. Just like BONO of U2, PINK, MOBY or SLASH of GN'R. It got that nice ring to the sound, MOSH! I like it! So it's settled then, no more Superman. It's MOSH! Hehehe...
Hey! And that goes the same with the shitty outfit also. They gotta go dude. I mean, are you crazy? Red underwear! And he wears it outside his pants! Duh! I mean, red undies would look great for ladies (e.g Wonderwoman or any girls for the matter), but for men, yucks! (Now you know why Clark Kent does not want people to know he's Superman). We need a full make over here!
O.K, how about getting some sponsors for my new hip costume. Why not? I've done great things to help people all over the world, didn't I? From helping cats stucked on high trees, fighting bad peoples preventing crimes, preserving peace, harmony and unity among mankind..bla bla bla. I deserved this,don't you think so?
Anyway it can help boost the sales of those who sponsored me right? Imagine Adidas or Nike sponsporing my new custom made boots. And my new outfit by Calvin Klein or DKNY or GUESS or any designer labels. I'm sure they'll be happy. I know I will. Hey, and I need sunglasses too!
Next, I want 20% of profits of all merchandise related to me sold worldwide. Well, I gotta start saving for my future retirement you know. Do you think I will be flying and fighting everyday saving people asses until I'm 95 years old? Come on, I'll get old too you know. Remember I crashed to earth when I was a baby? And remember I was Superboy before? I'm sure I'm gonna be super old later! And anyway, some bad guy will surely get me with the bloody kryptonite one day!
Hey, maybe I'll get a TV producer for a reality TV program (these days people are crazy for reality TVs and this also means more money for my retirement fund..hehe). Maybe titled 'The Super Life'. This could lead me to Hollywood. Now I got a better idea! I will run for Governor of California. I mean, I'm better, stronger and more handsome than Arnie. So if he can do it, why not me? And I speak better than him. Beware Arnie!!
There's more to change if I'm Superman, I mean MOSH. One thing is that I will let people know who I am. No more Clark Kent! Anyway, I don't like to be a hypocrite you know. And I've already loose that stupid outside red underwear remember? So no need to be ashamed anymore. Plus I don't need to go for work at that shitty Daily Planet (it doesn't pays good either). I'm a superhero! I already got loads of work around the world. Not to mention as a governor later (hehe) and attending interviews and photo shoots for mags etc.etc. I'm a Hollywood star too!
And, I will fly a lot less now. Actually, I'm afraid of heights (even though I know if I fell, I won't get hurt). I just hate heights, period! Call me a sissy and I'll punch you out!
And also I will attend to only really really really emergency cases only. I mean you got the police, firemen, the army,the navy, boyscouts and volunteers everywhere in the world.And all of 'em ('cept the volunteers)are paid by the government and the people who pays tax. I don't want they taking me for granted that I'm a superhero and I should do all their work for them. And also take me as an excuse to become lazy! I mean you all are paid man. So get to work! Anyway, I got only two hands and two feet o.k, so gimme a break!
I'm also thinking of setting a phone-in number, so people could dial for my help and consultation. It will cost $1.50 per minute and you can also send SMS to me too for 50ct per SMS. They can also visit my website at www.supadude.com, loads of quizzes and prizes to be won. They could also become a member of my fan club and get special privileges such as Nightfly (an evening fly with me around the city for 15 minutes,err..only for females tho, with special discounts for club members).
Hey, come to think of it, I could do lot of things. I could open theme restaurants just like Planet Hollywood, a fitness centre, write a book, become a model, a talk show host and loads more stuffs. But I guess it's better if I'm not Superman. And let Superman be Superman.
'Coz I'm quite a procastinator myself. And that is bad. Imagine people in need of my help and I procastinated. By the time I reached the scene of the crime, these people could be dead! And what so super about a superhero who is afraid of heights?! Sooner or later people will go for other fine dude such as Batman, Spidey or even that green cousin of Shrek, Hulk! I don't need to be a superhero to have a super time anyway. I just need my Washburn Dimebag guitar and a friend to jam with and I will have a super duper time! Right on!
Hey! And that goes the same with the shitty outfit also. They gotta go dude. I mean, are you crazy? Red underwear! And he wears it outside his pants! Duh! I mean, red undies would look great for ladies (e.g Wonderwoman or any girls for the matter), but for men, yucks! (Now you know why Clark Kent does not want people to know he's Superman). We need a full make over here!
O.K, how about getting some sponsors for my new hip costume. Why not? I've done great things to help people all over the world, didn't I? From helping cats stucked on high trees, fighting bad peoples preventing crimes, preserving peace, harmony and unity among mankind..bla bla bla. I deserved this,don't you think so?
