The 8th Wonder of the World

You know what, I think they missed out on a place very interesting when they chose the seven Wonders of The World.

The Doors of Public Toilets

You can find all sorts of stuff written on them. From graphics to quotes to phone numbers.


Interesting.

Anticipation and Prediction.

My predictions for the upcoming Academy Awards.

Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire!

Best Actor: Mickey Rourke ( The Wrestler)

Best Actress: Meryl Streep (Doubt)/ Melissa Leo (Frozen River). Although I'm 110% hoping Anne Hathaway uncovers Oscar gold!

Best Supporting Actor: Over publicized...Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)

Best Supporting Actress: Can't decide, don't bother either way.

Best Director: Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire)

Best Animated Feature: Wall.E


I'm rooting for Anne Hathaway because Rachel Getting Married tops my must-watch list, and seriously, the Academy should create a new category specially for Meryl Streep.

Blackout!

so switch it off. it doesn't take much.

101 on How To Get Yourself A Date for Valentines!

Guys and girls, there's still time to save yourselves from being a couch potato with a tube of Baskin Robbins while watching Latino soap operas only your Mexican maid will cry at. Don't go green with envy on this special day because you too can say that love is in the air this Valentines with

Nigel's 101 Tips on How to Land A Valentines Date!

Remember, Tip #1 is marketability.

When there is supply, there is demand, but when we scrutinized the details, we realise that there is a need of a supply in the hot people market. It's as simple as the lack of good products in the market such as the overexcessive Buatan Malaysia products which fail terribly to own the market. You see, everyone can be beautiful. Guys, all it takes is to get in touch with your metrosexuality and feel it change you. Girls, you should know better than anyone else, the power of cosmetics and good make-up.

Tip #2 is activity
Be active. Be assertive. Make yourself known to the market. Don't be a hermit. The golden rule has always been S.A.D. .You're single, very much available and super desperate but trying hard to hide. So what, you'll have the last laugh to the posh restaurant with a hot date in your arms. Hah, here's to you all single people.

Tip #3 is Playing Hard to Get
A stark contrast to the previous rule but nonetheless, effective in its ways. You know why people fantasize about dating movie stars and celebs? They're hard to get. It's the undying hunger that is never satiated. If you can carry this role well, you're like Brad Pitt being able to choose the Angelina Jolie from the crowd of Pamela Andersons.

Tip #4 is Be A Loner
Don't stay home and rot on your sofa. Even if you don't have a date, go to some place where people hang out. Clubs, bars, lounges, cafes etc etc. Order something that makes you look emo, preferably hard liquor and someone will probably approach you. That person who makes the move is probably equally desperate as you are. In this case, opposites don't attract. No guarantees though, don't blame me if the person who approaches looks worse than an 80 year old Vegas dancer.

Tip # 5-101 is....
never ever trust a person who has never gone on a date.
yours truly.
=D

guys just wanna have fun

Good Girl Gone Bad State

Yeah, she really is in a very bad state right now. Bad enough to cancel her concert here in Malaysia (i hear the distant cries of Rihanna's Msian fans)

No one would've guessed something like this would happen just like how no one guessed the Jonas Brothers would lose their bid for Best New Artist(muahahaha). I guessed it right. I mean, for the Best New Artist one, not Rihanna's case. Sorry JoBros fans, I really don't like them. Whoever the winner was...Adele...yeah, heard one of her songs, utterly boring. Good vocals though.

Anyway, back to our highlight. I guess Rihanna's really in Disturbia right now, and Chris Brown's image changed Forever. What happened in that oh-so-charming Lamborghini that day, we'll never know until the both of them come clean. Fans are segregated into Team Rihanna and Team Chris now. As for me, I choose to be in Team Kaypoh lah. Haha.

There was even a rumour surrounding Leona Lewis. Some said she flirted with Chris Brown?! Who knows it might lead to Rihanna in the car Bleeding Love. We shall wait and see how the story unfolds. Oh yes, the most interesting one I've read. Rihanna gave Chris an STD which caused him to go berserk. Probably bullshit again but you never know, do you?

I sound like I've no stand in this, which in fact I dont nor do I want to. Not a fan of Rihanna nor Chris, but I think I sing With You, the offkey version perfectly. This has got to be one of the most juicy scandal of 2009 because I don't usually blog about things like these like a kaypoh Singaporean aunty at your local neighbourhood park. I'd rather poke Msian politics but they really need something fresh. Perak's political turmoil is so old school scandal lah. I'm bored.

So, anyone wants to listen to Take A Bow? Very apt for now isn't it?

It Isn't Coming.

So the Mona Lisa isn't coming to Malaysia after all.
I was thinking about going to have a look at it, pondering what made it such a special one.


Oh well, the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage has to settle for something else. Cheaper probably?

You state the bid.

I'm still very much open-handed in case you want to give me a little red packet that emanates a blinding gold light when I open it, thank you.





I need more substance to keep this blog alive.




Substances like these....

Hot substance.(the left or the right, you decide)

Sexy substance.(amanda, it's a downrightstraightforward compliment, no sarcasm. i miss your laughter.)

and maybe a little naughty substance.

Though the naughty substance is going to make kangaroos and koalas naughtier soon, i'm sure we all back here will rejoice and throw a party the moment we see the plane take off. It's quite easy to identify which plane it is, just look out for the one that you find hard to lift because
naughty substance has added on substantial substance to her already substance-filled body. Frankly, I think when she comes back, the plane won't even leave the runway. (this is utter bullshit, told ya i needed substance)

Sexy substance, on the other hand, will be celebrating being legal soon because she needs to accompany me to clubs and spread sexiness on the dance floor. She also got herself a new haircut(with bangs!!) because she knows I've a thing for girls with BANGS (i'm thinking this statement can come across wrongly). Anyway, Happy 18th Birthday! Get sexier each year.

All right, we all know the substance on the right in the 1st picture is much hotter, no thanks to himself. So hot that his display picture on MSN(which I thought was naked) looks like a degraded Calvin Klein underwear ad campaign. This new year, he's aiming for 7% of iforgotwhatitwas. All the best, my friend. By the end of this year, you can do a campaign for Victoria's Secret already, that's an upgrade.(kidding)

I think this post is rather demeaning, but I said I needed substance. What's better than substances in my life? It's a way of keeping in touch ain't it? The verdict out of this is......

I'm bored to my bones in college and abusing free internet the Msian way when I've loads of homework, an assignment and a meeting with my advisor in 15 minutes.

crap.

It's Time For.....

College Life - Worded(it's going to be wordy)

So I survived week two of college. Everyone has talked about their college life so far and I'm about to also. Yes, I'm one to be victimised by the law of conformity. (no, i've absolutely nothing to keep my blog alive)

Anyway, I think I'm starting to adapt to college life. Computing Principles is entirely IT jargon to a computer illiterate like me but I guess Mr Siva Subramaniam made it quite interesting. Yes, Djians, your eyes did not deceive you. I indeed have a lecturer who goes by that name but I assure you he must be the good side that the Siva in school lost many many years ago, although he tends to be a little cynical at times. His jokes are..erm...cynically funny.


I think DJ misses me too much. Not only I have a lecturer with the same name, my English lecturer reminds me terribly of Pn. Cecilia (no complains). My Calculus lecturer, on the other hand, is a young, handsome, tall, smart and charming man who acts a lot like a cool version of Sherlock Holmes. Everything is elementary for him, though he prefers the term 'kindergarten'. Just a note, girls, he's taken. Just got married. Timing is everything, the early bird gets the worm.


I do miss secondary school a lot. My friends and all. I'm getting to know new people in college, one of them a male Japanese student who happens to be rather good looking with a sense of style , and this one is not taken yet, girls. I think. (Why do I feel like I'm turning my blog into some website for online dating? )


So, to those who claim they hate college. Just think back to the day when you first stepped foot into secondary school. It's the same feeling. Everything is brand new and this is what life is all about. Changes, changes and more changes. Embrace the past, live the present and anticipate the future.

Oh Dear

In less than 24 hours, I won't have to cheat my way through the 18+ movies at the theatre.

My, my, how time flies.

Now I Know!

Facebook is gradually overtaking the once popular Friendster as the new age networking phenomenon.
probably because Facebook has tons of applications such as my personal 'favourite' Pet Society.
and less lala people too.

Researchers at the University of Georgia asked untrained observers to look at the profiles of 130 Facebook users.

Study indicated that the profiles have glamorous self portraits, long lists of friends and self promoting wall comments. Author Keith Campbell says, 'Narcissists are using Facebook the same way they use their other relationships:for self promotion.'

I finally know why I'm a sucker for Facebook.

i think i lost blogging mojo.

I Knew My Name Was Sexy

What Nigeltehjaeshing Means

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Yes, i've nothing better to do.

Note to Self- Must Watchs

Praying for Time

PRAYING FOR TIME
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances'
Cause God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all God's children
Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much, much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances'
Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back'
Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

"No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion." - George Michael

The 125 massacred in Mumbai might be just a statistic for us watching here across the ocean. But in that 125, it means the whole world to those who lost the ones they loved.

What has become of our world today?

Can we still call it a world?

Or have we moved to become neighbours of hell?

Peace of Mind

We are yet again witnessing another clash of the illiterate. Those who think they know better. But I got the better of them. haha





So, FATWA. What does it even stand for? Don't bother, don't care, don't give two hoots. It had such a low profile before this unnecessary issue came along. Ask someone if they know FATWA and they'll go 'what did you just say? FAT WHAT? FAT AH? I'm fat meh?'




This whole yoga issue might just be a publicity gimmick for people to remember by. Well, I don't blame them at all- religion is one very forgettable part in life. Believe me, I know best. Ask me Islamic History now and see for yourself. I believe most of our religions teach us to lead a simple life and avoid greed. Yet, I guess it's part of evolution in this increasingly materialistic world that the line at the Magnum, TOTO and DaMaCai in the evening is mental.




Let's not stray away. That's a whole different story.







What is FATWA's stand on this issue? Yoga will intoxicate the minds of people and divert the teachings of Islam because it contains Hindu practice. racist much.

'Pensyarah Fakulti Pengajian Islam Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Prof Zakaria Stapa berkata pergerakan senaman yoga adalah berdasarkan unsur agama Hindu yang dikhuatiri boleh memesongkan akidah umat Islam yang mengamalkannya.'

What....a genius.




The guy better be afraid of the Sisters in Islam(pro-yoga people). Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, watch out.







Let me ask you frankly and you give an honest answer.

Does this look threatening to your religion?

If yes, go to your mosque/temple/church/wat and spend the rest of your life hibernating there. Your faith in your own religion is too shaky.

You know, it's only a matter of time before they have The Complete Pocket Idiot's Guide to 108 Pathetic Reasons Why Fatwa is Against Yoga.

So, when they're done with yoga...they'll move on to taichi, qigong so on and so forth.

People would then fight for their rights and then our Pendidikan Moral subject in school would have more values.

Kebebasan Beryoga, Kebebasan Bertaichi and Kebebasan Berqigong, perhaps? this is meant to pull the legs of those who are still forced to learn that blessedly silly subject that I don't for the rest of my life.

Didn't you know? One foolish thing leads on to another foolish thing. It's a chain reaction. Foolishness is rampant. fatwa taught us that didn't they?

Whoa!

I would like to congratulate myself for 2 things.

- I survived 90% of SPM. Still living, breathing and probably smiling.

- I actually managed to restrain myself from blogging. I thought I would break the promise initially. *gives pat on own back*


Well, since SPM is semi-history, this shall also be a semi-completed post. EST isn't done, mind you.

But you bet I've something to say about FATWA's yoga ruling.....

Won't be blogging till SPM is over and done with.

I think I've become overly nerdified until I am now unable to make this non-permanent farewell sound interesting.

Back to my beloved Prophet Muhammad.

and 'char siew pao' in case I get too emotionally involved.

Animalistic

Is it me or are humans getting more animalistic as we age?

We say that we are people of the 21st century yet I don't think we are of much difference compared to our ancestors in the Neolithic Age.


You read the news about a robber BITING a police officer. Yes, biting. That is just low, real low. The evolution process in life thankfully gave us useful limbs to utilise, so why bite? I mean, even the tiger will use its limbs to 'karate' if it could.


and then there are some who.....


commit animalistic acts in the jungle. Raping is really animal-like. Rapists think that they can just 'do' it as easy as animals. Who do they think Penan women are, treating them like animals? It really makes you wonder doesn't it? Is the human or monkey more animal-like in the jungle?

Now, there's another concrete proof that we are indeed from monkeys.

I think this blog has quite a lot of good articles that relate humans and animals.

Remember the elephants and women?
