Crap audio quality — no idea why the audio quality becomes ‘zing zing’ using Microsoft Movie Maker… oh yeah maybe ‘cos it sucks. But I’m a noob, so bleh. 2.03 mins btw.
Nyeh nyeh nyeh.
Thanks to Jack the phone camera man. Related posts by: Reta, Peter, Reta again and Peter again.
Uh, hello 
Still not in the mood for ‘real’ blogging, though there are a couple things I would really like to rant about, but after a couple days I don’t feel the rage anymore. So here are some shiok sendiri updates with photos.
Midvalley Chili’s
As Reta mentioned, we met briefly on Monday. BTW woman, your hotness level is +101.
And it was the first time I’d seen Peter wearing so formal.
The dude is so leng jai, it’s almost ridiculous 
Then we I went to jump on Peter’s bed in his hotel room at the Boulevard. But all the evidence is with him.
Haircut
Yesterday I went for a haircut at Kuchai Lama. If I’m willing to go all the way from PJ to Kuchai Lama for a haircut, you can bet that the fella, Keith is good
Paul kindly drove me there and accompanied me because he is a nice guy and that’s what nice guys do — be really really nice and wait for friends to get a haircut for 2.5 hours.
For comparison’s sake, this was what I looked like.
I sent a SMS to my mom telling her that I was at the hairdresser and was thinking of having my hair cut short. She replied,
“OH, no, nononono, u look nice with long hair. don cut short. that’s yr only beauty left, beside yr mouth, ur nose :)”
Why is my mom ’so cute’ leh? -_-”
The morning after…
Oh yah, I took a photo of myself and sent it via MMS to me mom and got this reply,
“I disown u!”
So yes, I need a new family. Any takers?
Food and movies
Then Paul and I went to 1U to buy movie tickets. We wanted to watch Narnia but there was only the midnight shows, KY wanted to watch some n00b penguin movie, so in the end we settled for Zathura.
And because Paul and I had some time to kill before the 9.50 pm movie, we bought tickets to watch the n00b penguin movie. Then we went to Italiannies for dinner. They have a food sharing concept; the portions are large and it’s not really expensive when you order for a lot of people.
The mushroom soup was damn good, the BEST mushroom soup I’ve had in PJ/KL. The chicken fettuccine was nice, but Paul bit into some yucky cheese thing and refused to finish his dinner.
While waiting to go into the cinema, I saw Douglas Lim and Rashid Sidek Salleh hanging around at a The Star booth outside the cinema. It was some Star-Narnia thing going on, and I happily asked to have a photo taken with them, and I dedicate this photo to Jolene, the biggest Douglas Lim fan EVARRR!!!1111oneoneone.
And then the penguin show.
Okay okay it was La Marche de l’empereur aka The Emperor’s Journey aka March of the Penguins, it’s in the international screens thing and it’s in French with English and Chinese subtitles.
And it was all about penguins. ALL of it. Like, the world overrun with fucking penguins and penguins fucking. Check out this photo below, multiply it to stretch into 1+ hour, and you have the whole movie.
It was quite cute and informative, being a documentary and all, but THERE WERE SO MANY PENGUINS!!! What did I expect, right? A movie about penguins…
BUT IT WAS ALL PENGUINS PENGUINS PENGUINS!!!
AND THEY SPEAK IN FRENCH!!!!
Blah.
After the penguin movie, the rest of the n00bs came and we watched Zathura, a Jumanji-recycled.
Yawn.
Then off to William’s for yum char.
I didn’t know you could get sausages in bolognese sauce with mashed potatoes and garlic bread at a mamak.
-The end-
With the increasing popularity of blogs, they are a great platform to present your voice on issues to a greater audience. Beats running naked on the street reciting a whole paragraph of what-nots. But with the focus on blogs and the cheaper and wider availability of the Internet, things changed. Three years ago you can still blog about your neigbours’ stupid smelly fat cat desecrating your garden or how his stupid fat daughter walks like a clumsy pumpkin lump or how they are so ugly that their momma left them for good. Try it today and somehow in the near future you may just be sued for libel.
Either you grow up or you don’t. If you don’t then don’t blame other people for voicing their opinions also. It’s the fucking INTERNET.
Free speech? Free speech my ass. Can I just quote T-Boy’s words on this? Hmm I think I will.
That ‘Fundamental Right’And then there’s the ‘fundamental inalieable right to Free Speech’. While many people focus on the right to say whatever you like without fear of censorship, I say ‘bullshit’.
Freedom of Speech means freedom of living to the consequences of what you say. While you can say what you like online, you’re never, never free from consequence.
The government may not be able to do a thing to you4, but that doesn’t mean that what you say can’t get you fired, or get you verbally slapped around like a two-buck whore online, or cause your friends or lovers to leave you.
Welcome To The Land of Shut The Fuck Up
And so you do and must censor yourself. You think to yourself, “Can I say this? Is this right?” before posting your vitriol across the public wire. Of course you must. Being free to speak doesn’t mean you are free from being told, in very firm words, to be quiet.
As a matter of fact, as a Citizen of the Internet, you are allowed to speak whatever you like. Freedom to speak doesn’t mean that you must be listened or that your words deserve immortality. You are free to speak. What happens next is not up to you.
And frankly, like religious bigotry and outright stupidity, racism is hardly a defensible thing. You want to get in trouble, get in trouble by yourself. I’m not defending you, not because I do not care about free speech, but I have better time defending the right to the free speech of others who are more deserving.
That was from his post So You’re Getting Fucking Persecuted about the two S’porean bloggers who kena charged and jailed. The content of his post still applies.
Read and learn.
About Peter Tan, the ‘malicious’ disabled person:
You know, Peter is not the ogre Miss XX and Turosomething from LocalBrand made him out to be. Yes he is my friend and that is why I can tell you that contrary to XX’s post, he does not go out of his way to seek sympathy bla bla bla yadda yadda yadda. Peter has done the community much good by blogging about life as a disabled, raising SOCIAL AWARENESS which may be lacking prior to this due to the non-existent platforms. So now we understand why the accessible toilets are not meant for the able-bodied with no afflictions other than stupidity. Now we understand better why a lot of buildings are death traps for those not able to just run should there be a fire or incidents like the 2004 tsunami trembles that affected Penang. Those are not pleas for sympathy unless you are saying that disabled do not have rights just like anyone else?
And one more thing regarding accessible toilets: I understand that not many people like to use the ’search’ function or even know that the history of his blog, so I am now giving you a link to one of his older entries regarding accessible toilets:
And Yvonne Foong just wrote a blog entry on accessible toilets and how it feels when it is not really that accessible:
Why handicap toilets are important.
We don’t really have control on the various buildings’ toilet design and build. In many other countries, public toilets are a tad bigger than those in Malaysia so some able-bodied folks can still use them for various reasons. However in Malaysia, a lot of our public toilets are cramped, some without taps even. If a pregnant lady needs to use the accessible toilets because of those two reasons then yes go ahead. If a rude older woman or a 21 year old popular ranty blogger wants to use accessible toilets because they are more spacious with mirrors and think it’s their God-given right to use them, well in the words of XX herself,
FUCK YOU.
And because I’m his friend, he discusses some things with me, one of the things being Turodrique from LocalBrand’s phone conversation. I’m damn pissed because all Miss X and Mr T seems to be able to grasp is that Peter is trying to harm XX’s income and by doing that Peter would have something to gain, financially or otherwise. And since Peter is not going to be bothered if he gets misunderstood or misquoted by the sole sentence of “BECAUSE IT WORKS”, I’m going to tell you this:
THERE IS MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE.
If Mr. T recorded the conversations he had with Peter over the phone, please, feel free to broadcast them in their full entities. Why don’t you publish the e-mail that Peter sent also? I’m sure everybody would love to know.
Look, if you are going to devote an entire post whining about the ‘underhandedness’ of some people, why not take the entire context? Things must be taken in whole instead of picking ONE SENTENCE and use that as the sole basis to debate. Err how about the sentence where he said something like, because companies should be aware of the people who represent them?
So they have been made aware, now what? BECAUSE IT ALWAYS WORKS not because to get her sponsors to pull out, but to make the points clearer. How the sponsors deal with that issue is entirely up to them. Either they stick with XX or they don’t. In the case of Voxy (and now Kimage) they chose not to associate with her anymore, that’s their prerogative. I’m sure there are plenty of other brands and companies who would not mind their banners on her blog just to ride her waves of popularity that seep into the minds of youth (not just from Singapore, mind you) despite her blogging tone and blog content. They all can do that, good luck to them, I sure as hell am not going to believe in their products or services and I’m going to tell all my friends about my stand on it.
You know, that’s why universities have courses on marketing and branding. Consumer power, I tell ya. You should really be more aware of your choices in life.
And say you go into a restaurant and the waiter mistreats you. Do you engage the waiter or do you go to the manager?
And again because people cannot seem to find links as easily as they should, here’s one of my earlier post for you on why I oppose to this sad shit.
You can actually see it happening already, with her young blinded supporters thinking it’s all right to use accessible toilets because they are there and the chances of a disabled using it the same time as them are slim to none. Talk about morality lines indeed.
Actually it’s a bit boring to write something this long because all she and her blinded followers could only see everything as:
“I FUCKING HATE XIAXUE!”
So if you are one of those people who cry damn foul that Peter Tan is a loserlah, fuck Peter Tan lah, fuck Kimberlycun she’s fat and lumpy, fuck ShaolinTiger he’s a white man in Asia overstaying his welcome lah, all XX detractors are just jealous lah, I tell you what:
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.
Now if you’d excuse me, I have other things to blog about.
My friend Peter Tan has finally decided to do the inevitable, this time for charity in aid of the Penang Hospice-At-Home Programme (under the National Cancer Society of Malaysia).
PETER’S GONNA GET A HAIR CUT!!!
It’s about time anyway, goodness knows how much grief we’ve given him about it. Admittedly it adds to his rock star-like allure, but hair that long’s got to be a bitch. And I’m a female, I can’t have guys having hair longer than mine! I mean, WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!?
Inane jealousy aside, I’m all for Peter doing a good deed for society. Heaven knows we need more pro-crazy-stunts-for-charity people like him to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves that at least, SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING.
Peter says:
I am pledging to shave my head to raise RM5,000.00 for the Penang Hospice-At-Home-Programme. This is removing forty two months worth of uncut hair from my scalp. I have invariably grown attached to them after so many years. It has become part of me, a distinct identity that I have come to be associated with. However, this is all for a cause that I strongly believe in. It is worth the sacrifice.
Because…
It costs RM31 for a palliative care nurse from the Hospice to visit a patient at home. The RM5,000.00 will be able to support 161 home visits. This is only a fraction of the RM290,000.00 that was spent in the year 2004 for such visits. Patients are not charged for these visits and neither are they obliged to reciprocate in any other way. This is truly service from the heart, and one of the great examples of human compassion at its best.
Three other bloggers have decided to shave it all alongside Peter for this worthy cause. By the end of October if the donation gets up to RM5,000, buangmasa.net, Bryan and Sharizal will also sport the Yul Brynner look, albeit not as sexy but still distinctive.
So if you would like to help make the world a better place, feel very free to support or donate to this charity drive - make Peter cut his hair!!! More info can be found at Peter’s blog, info on how to donate here.
It’s gonna look so good, you wouldn’t believe it.
For a mere fraction of a moment I was thinking about going bald in support of Peter the blogbuster. It would be something new, something different, and could perhaps generate a lil’ bit more something seeing that I am a chick. Then R said I would look like an Asian Sugar Lee Hooper.
Separated at birth?
Or people might actually donate money for me NOT to shave my head. I don’t know… what do you think?
Actually I also don’t know how to begin writing this post, let alone write it all. The best way to start is to do it Suanie-style I guess…
THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Jaime, Janice and I met at Bangsar’s Chillis for our usual happy hour fix, after which we went to Telawi Street Bistro for their superbly delish strawberry iced tea.
Then Jaime suggested that we go bar-hopping… okay… strolled down the main street for a bit and finally entered T-Club, where a lot of birthday celebrations were held…
OMGWTFBBQ!!!
It was seriously a VERY NICE surprise to see Peter, Wuan, Fireangel, Delia, Duncan, Kimberly, ShaolinTiger, KY, Gary & friend (sorry I seriously cannot remember your name at this moment 
) and my eldest sister Lyanna all sitting at the end corner. Then Eyeris appeared, then later Terence and Saint arrived and much later Chris came by.
Thank you Jaime for doing all this. She said it’s to make up for 4 years of not spending my birthday eve with me… but I think it’s mostly because she loves me so…
I LOVE JAIME!!!
There was beer, lots of it. I got some nice pressies as well.
This is Gary.
And this is Gary hustling me to get even more pissed drunk than I already was.
This is Delia and Peter. Delia fetched Peter and Wuan from Cheras… thank you sayang!!!
And this is Kimberly using my birthday as an excuse to kiss me. I know she laps me and she wants to kiss me non stop all day all night every hour every minute every second… tee-hee…
And this is teh KY pretending to look like me.
Me, Peter and Jaime. Peter is a very happy man.
Jaime, me and my sister Lyanna.
Me, Kim, ST and Duncan.
Janice, Delia, Chris, me and FA.
My birthday cake! I LOVE IT!!!
I actually remember this moment… They just showed me the cake and they were screaming,”YOU NOOB!!!!”
Some of the jokers who came… Terence, Eyeris, KY, Saint, FA, Kim, Peter and ST.
1 full glass and another quarter glass of the foulest tasting Graveyard ever, 3 glasses of beer, 1 tequila shot, 1 Kamikaze (which I thought was some lime juice that Eyeris kindly offered me.. bleahhhhhhh )… I was quite gone.
Even thinking about it now makes me feel like puking.
The actual day was spent with my sister Ashley at Ikano, she bought me lunch and a couple of very nice skirts… yay!
Thank you all so much… really didn’t expect it… a lot of people called and sent me SMSes and e-mails and comments and messages on my shoutbox… thank you all… tima kasih berbanyak
Kim has a post for me.
KY posted seriously incriminating photos…
Jeemee wrote me a birthday story.
Nic posted a birthday photo of mine from 2 years ago…
