Valentines Day, Chinese Version!

0 comments
I have just finished watching the movie Yes Man just recently and i've also read an article about the real Yes Man from Reader's Digest. One thing that both the movie and article stressed about is saying YES to everything.

Which is what i did when one of my classmates (Pow Ling) asked me if i am interested in joining a few of my classmates (Goh Tze Zuan, Hoong Kee, Soon Li, Chor Yin, Chia Wen, Jia Yee, Cheng Hao) on a trip to Guan Yin Temple for the Chinese Valentines or Chap Goh Mei if i am not mistaken.

I know some of you might be quite surprised because i'm a Christian and well, temples isn't a very suitable place to go.

But since i made the promise to say Yes so i guess i do not have any other excuses of not to go. Besides, i also wanted to experience something that is completely new.

Well, the highlight of our trip was the throwing oranges ceremony as i call it where single girls write their name, age and contact number on a mandarin orange and throw it in to the "river" hoping that a prince in white riding a white horse would be lucky enough to pick their oranges and contact them and maybe who knows, a happily ever after ending perhaps.

But those things only exist in dreams. As far as i am concern, girls who are pretty and good have no need to waste so much time wrting all their details on a poor piece of orange (some girls even resort to writing a whole box) and handsome and well-to-do guys have no need to waste energy squatting beside the river choosing over which oranges that they think will lead them to the supermodel woman of their dreams.

Forgive me for being so cynical, but from what that i see, by the end of the night, i think there would not be more than 10 people who will end up being happily ever from the thousands of oranges thrown. Sigh, some people would just go to great lengths just to find a boyfriend/ girfriend.

I wonder how many are there who are really doing it for the sake of true love and not just a temporary fling.

Here are some pictures that i took from that night (click on it for a better view):

Down With Dirty Politics

0 comments
I hate politics. I hate politicians who do not think of the people who elected them into power but instead opt for their own good and selfishness.

If you are a Perakian (a person who is living in Perak) and has been following the news for the past few days, you would have know about the storm brewing over Perak's government for the past few days.

I seldom post about politics, but i can't help it after reading about how BN wrested control of our state government, you really cannot help but feel cheated and disappointed with the people whom we elected because we trusted them to uphold the rights of the people, not the importance of themselves.

It is about 1 am now, February 6th, and the latest update from Malaysiakini.com still states that there are many people still gathered outside the MB residence.

Well, from my point of view, both BN and Pakatan Rakyat has its wrong and rights.

Pakatan should not have started the party hopping ball rolling. When it did that, it should have been prepared that the other side might follow suit. If it had stood still with its principles against party hopping, it could have had a bigger say and a bigger influence when 3 people decided to leave.

BN, on the other hand, should not have used Pakatan's tricks and strategy if you have from the start opposed party hopping. Besides, who would really believe that 3 people from Pakatan (2 which is under investigation for corruption charges) would suddenly cross over automatically under Najib. After losing 2 by-elections, it's pretty obvious that you're up to no good when you suddenly show up in Perak with the 3 defectors.

And all the bullshit about following laws. According to the law, the state assembly must be dissolved first before you could take power. What happened to the following law principle?
All are just empty talk to convince the people only, how long does BN expect to stay in power if they do not keep their word?

No matter what is the outcome, i can say that i'm pretty disappointed with politics now because the politicians have only power and money in their mind now only. Not many that still remember that a politician's job is to serve the people and not yourself.

I sure hope all Perak-ians would unite and demand an outcome that will benefit the people from this incident, do not let the politicians do what as they like anymore.

First and foremost, just want to say thanks for those who showed their concern about my last post. I thought of taking it down at first because like my blog name suggests, it is just rantings that do not make sense.

But since there are few people who replied, well, i could leave it up there and see what happens. Don't worry about me actually, i'm ok and still very much alive. Its just that its the time of month again when emotions go spiraling out of control. Yeah, even guys have periods. XD

Well, back to the main topic. Tagged again by Ginn Yi and this is going to be the toughest tag ever as it involves photo. I seldom take photos (prefer to remain mysterious XD), and uploading it to the computer is even more difficult because my phone cable is spoiled.

Well, for the time being, i have to adapt with what i have inside my computer.

**********

A picture of you in The Most Unique Environment.

Taken with ASOD friends at a waterfall


A picture of you at A Place You Dislike
.
Who goes to places that they hate and for the sake of takeing pictures there?


Pictures of People Who Mean A Lot To You.
Youth Friends


Since Ginn Yi included me in his most important people list (paiseh), i decided to give him a special place in my blog too XD


My 2 Best buddies since young


My school friends
There are others too that i would like to include here, but i'm just too lazy to upload all of them or it would take forever to load. So, this have to do for now. Sorry


A picture of you with Your Best Smile (Mouth Opened).
Can see teeth means mouth is opened. XD


A picture of you with Your Best Smile (Mouth Closed).The most handsome photo i ever took, but that doesn't mean i don't look handsome in others



A picture of you with The Lamest Pose.
Somehow the 3 of us ended in some snowy mountain



A picture of you with Some Cute Toy Stuff.
You can't see me because i'm hiding behind the teddy bear

**********

Fuh, i guess that is all for this time's tag.

Looking at my blog, i seriously think that if i charge money for each tag that i do, i'd be rich by now. LOL, and maybe that is the reason some people might hate me.






Going nut...

1.30 am in the night (or morning) is a good time to be depressed because that is exactly what am i doing now. Yeah, i understand that my blog is not a good place to pour my feelings out but i'm not a person that fancies a diary and i do not know whom can i turn to to share my depressed feelings so i guess letting some of the negative aura out in my blog will have to do.

Sigh, i just hate the fact that we humans are created in a way that we need love to survive.
Throw a man to live alone on an island for 10 years and surely he go nuts. (Robinson Crusoe's story is fake, FIY)

Thankfully i'm still quite human and have not change into a nut yet, but well, my situation is not quite good either considering i have to make an average of 10 calls every time i feel like going out. Be it a mamak outing or to watch a movie. Ask my friends and you will know.

Maybe its my looks or my attitude, i just don't know. I pretty suck at making friends that last. I just hope that sooner or later someone would be kind enough to stand up, take a machine gun and starts shooting away or i might end up commiting suicide. Just joking about the suicide part, serious about the rest.

Sigh, or maybe i'm just too sensitive.

Of Beyonce, R Kelly, Le Carr and the song "If I Were A Boy"

0 comments
Have you heard of the song If I Were A Boy by Beyonce? I'm sure you would if you always tune into Hitz.fm. If you have not, here's the MV i got from Youtube. You better see it first if you have not because if you don't, you'll end up pretty confused when you keep reading my blog.



LYRICS (If I Were A Boy):

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone

Id put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that shell be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake,
think i'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong

Man: you know when you act like that i dont think you realize how it makes me look or feel
Beyonce: act like what yo why you so jealous aint like im sleepin with tha guy
Beyonce: what
(Role Changes)
Man:what... (laughs)
i said why you so jealous aint like im sleeping with the girl

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy

*********
Jia Yee loves to tease me using this song because as you can see, this song pretty degrades the guys.
Besides that, on my personal opinion, i also think that this song kinda encourages girls to become guys.

Just to put it simple, the message of the whole song is that GUYS ARE BAD. DO NOT START A RELATIONSHIP WITH GUYS.

I have admit that we as guys are not perfect, but hey, we're not that bad either so i thought it was pretty unfair for Beyonce to sing like this and secretly hope that someone as a guy could redeem our dignity. I could do it myself but the downside is that i'm not a singer.

Well, until one day, when i was in the car with Jia Yee and the song comes out again and she starts singing it again to tease me. But suddenly there's a male voice in the song and we both were like What The Heck?

Here comes R. Kelly and Le Carr to our guys rescue! Watch and listen (don't forget to compare!) to both of their MV and lyrics to see what is our guy's response to Beyonce's song.


R. Kelly's Version:




LYRICS (If I Were A Boy Remix ft R. Kelly):

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

(R. Kelly)
If you were a boy
then girl you'd understand
you need to stop listening to your friends
love, respect and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
and sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out
as long as Im coming home to you
and give you the world
But you are not a boy,
so you dont have a clue (ey)
How I work and pay the bills
girl and everything I do is for you (eh eh)

(Beyonce)
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a Boy (Beyonce)
If I were a Girl (Kelly)

I would turn off my phone (Beyonce)
I wouldn't play games (Kelly)

Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone (Beyonce)
Girl you know thats wrong (Kelly)

Id put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that shell be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

(R Kelly)
But you are not a boy,
so you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
and I am not a perfect man (with me, with me)
I'd listen to her (eh eh)

Cause I know how it hurts (Kelly: and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Kelly: Said Im sorry

It's a little too late for you to come back

(Kelly)
but I cant let you go
cause Im too attached

If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong
But you're just a boy


**************


Le Carr's Version:



If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they'd stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a girl
even just for a day
I'd get out of bed in the morning
and take forever to get ready
Complain to my friends
as if they got a man
They talk about you cause they're jealous
and I just stay and listen to it (I should get rid of them)

If I were a girl
I dont think I'd understand
how it feels to love a boy
I swear I'd be a better woman
I'd listen to him
cause I don't know everything
I would always try to tell him that he needs to treat me better
Like I don't gotta change at all

If I were a girl
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that? (I don't)
If you thought I would wait for you,
you thought wrong (I did wrong)

But you're just a boy
and you're just a girl

You don't understand
No you don't understand

How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
and you don't listen to him
You don't care how it hurts (you don't care how I feel)
Until you lose the one you wanted
cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy
and you're just a girl

***********

Well, with R Kelly and Le Carr, i guess the score is even between the guys and girls now.

The moral of the songs?

No one is perfect!

p/s: i could not find the official Le Carr's mv for the song, so i would appreciate it if you guys could give me the link if you have it. Thanks!
