December 08!

Now that December is around the corner of a 50-cent coin, I will put up the list of stuff that we can do. Zat and I were talking about it during our gym sessions. Zat have an incomplete draft but I guess he’s waiting for all us to get satays before he posts it. So I’m gonna put down the list here. It’s of no order of importance or significance obviously.

1. Get a satay/pick up one

Well, this is at the top of the list for no apparent reason, not because it’s impt or anything. It’s just a good start to a list. I mean, not all of us have satays right, it’ll be good if those of us get one, so we can all go out together or smth. But remember, chill, if you don’t want one, it’s ok.

2. Visit the zoo

The last time we went to one, it was in a foreign country. So I think we should visit the one in Singapore. Who knows what kind of wild animals we can see in the zoo. My advice is “Suit up!"

3. Get a digital SLR Camera

My verdict is, “We don’t need one." Our lives have been interesting - our brains are already trained in taking snapshots of events. Remember that time.. when we ... and then..... hahahaha... Anyway, Panasonic’s got this newer version of digital SLR, interchangeable lens dok.


Well, now let’s continue with the things that we might actually do.

4. Badminton

It’s been a long time since we played badminton, so ya. Restring your racquets if you need to. Or just buy a 200+ one on impulse before you play.

5. Beaching at Sentosa

Finally we will get to play Frisbee properly. Why do you think I’ve been going to the gym with Zat over the last few weeks? So that we can show off our body. Before, we were just floating heads.

6. Carpark frisbee

Well, when plan 5 fails, we can do this.

7. (Wan, hold your pants.) Bowling

Let’s just make Wan happy by bowling la. Then he’ll lose to Zat again, or maybe to me once or twice. Haha.

8. FICO

Hopefully Rahmat organizes one then we can just join in, since kita semua pemalas haram. Though I really think we should try organizing one. By WE, I don't mean ME alone.

9. Traditional rain-'dance'

No, we’re not gonna dance like Ted Mosby. We don’t wanna get strike by lightning. Karaoke gang. Now that ‘Don’t Forget The Lyrics’ is on, semangat sikit ah. Though I still think K-NITE is better than that show.

10. Paintball

Of course. How can I forget this. This was in the plan since July 08 ah. Nazir did his research all but in the end masuk angin keluar asap. So this time hopefully it’ll happen.

Ok, I can’t really remember all the things that we planned to do ah. So Zat, you just top up or smth ah.

Uh layout

So the layout is light pastel cyan (baby blue). So it's got clouds. So it's a wee bit gay. But look on the bright side. We've got super-vulgar, police-fucking songs to more than make up for it.

Why we make bad bloggers

Looking at the staggering statistics on the right, it is safe to say that this blog has been nothing short of miserable recently. In fact, it is abyssmal. Likening this to theTottenham situation, TOWNS has been going through a barren patch of form, devoid of ideas and bereft of creativity. While the problems appear to be obvious, I think there are several underlying issues that can help explain the current situation. Could Nas's recent entry spark a Harry Redknapp-esque revival of fortunes for TOWNS though? Well hisap because nobody cares and we can't get relegated.



Problem # 1 :
Kita pemalas haram (We are forbiddenly lazy)

For a blog to function and exist for that matter, the writer(s) need to start pulling in their weight. I mean fine Mus, you've contributed enough and I thoroughly enjoy your reading but what about the rest. Sometimes, the ideas are right there in our heads but for one reason or another, typing it on the keyboard seem to be a mammoth task. Like sometimes I wonder how Amy can maintain her blog on a regular and interesting basis but sometimes, I think it is just us. So stretch your fingers people, they need a good workout on the qwerty threadmill.



Problem # 2 : Kita happening gils (
We are damn happening)

It is a well-known fact that snails lead more interesting lives than us. I'm pretty sure the word 'boring' was named after us and 'boring gila' was named after Nas. So in a way, it's not our fault that the entries are not coming. What is there to write if there is nothing to write about. I'm sure we can write about school but I think to all of us, its too mundane. I'm sure we can write about soccer but even that gets too routine sometimes. I'm also sure we can write about our gfs but I think to all of us, its nothing. Nothing not because we dont have one. I mean which group of 22 year old guys cant even have at least ONE gf between them right.What losers they are, if they existed. We are just a shy bunch, just don't read into deep the name of our blog.



Problem # 3 : Kita kemaluan besar ( We are very very shy - you dont want the literal translation)




To add some colour to the blog, people generally use pictures to illustrate their day. The fact is that we don't use our camera phones enough to capture priceless moments because we don't want to appear as camwhores. Not surprisingly though, the cameras only start flickering behind-the-scenes when nobody's looking. This is when I will discover pictures of the utmost retardedness of the usual suspects, meaning Faliq as wallpaper on my phone.I suggest we pool money to buy a SLR Camera and some have already suggested buying a DVD Camcorder but like all suggestions we make, it will remain as suggestions. And when we do have a camera in hand, very artistic photographers aka Suff likes to take random and subjective pictures of his shoes, my shoes and your shoes if you're lucky. Really not blog-worthy and in a way, you should be thankful if you havent seen them.


These are basically the root problems that pretty much explains the demise of our blog right now. Hopefully, things will improve once exams are out of the way. In fact, get set for Dramatic December 08! where all our procrastinated plans hopefully wont get procrastinated into the next year. Watch this space.

2 Words: KI- SURAT!

Firstly, hisap Suff. Lagu mat rep seh. Just because I have been stranded on an island off the west, it doesn't mean that you all gotta let this blog die ah.

In too deep, and lost in time.
Why'd you have to go and let it die.

What up! Amasham aku. The first one to finish his exams, and also the first one who's gonna be getting an academic warning. Baik dok. What a way to finish off my exams ah, with the hardest paper. I don't know why I brought my book ah. It didn't help me at all, I dunno what I had to look for also. So much for open-book. And I thought thermo was already quite rabak. I've a feeling my cap will go back below 3 ah.

K ah, after the NUS guys finish their exams, we'll havoc ah, ape lagi. My legs are already itching. Furthermore with Liverpool in quite a good form, I'm inspired ah.

Arguably The Best... Episode Of Clerks: The Animated Series

I am a huge fan of Kevin Smith movies. Great shows like Dogma, Clerks, Clerks 2, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and Chasing Amy have kept me addicted to his brand of offbeat dialogue and his rather...bohemian humour.

But how does Kevin Smith fare as a producer, writer and director of a cartoon series?

Quite fucking well, I should say. Although I am sure most of you would think this is really weird crap.

But don't judge until you see the whole thing. Here's Clerks: The Animated Series episode 4: "A Dissertation on the American Justice System by People Who Have Never Been Inside a Courtroom, Let Alone Know Anything About the Law, but Have Seen Way Too Many Legal Thrillers".

Oh and I must say. The ending is epic.

And The Satay Goes To...

By the time you're 21, you should have a rough idea of what you would look for in a significant other. For us at Towns, that idea is really damn rough. Mainly because we haven't had enough girlfriends to really pick out our preferred character traits in a girl. In the case of Nas, he has absolutely no idea what he looks for in a girl. As long as she's hello and alive he's happy. But for those of us who have a clearer picture of what we look for in a partner, I shall present it here.

At the risk of being dating service ads...

Aizat's dream girl must...
- be sporty
- be feisty
- be down-to-earth
- have a decent sense of fashion.

So tennis girls who shop at Zara but who never forget your roots, you're perfect for Aizat. Whether Aizat is suitable for you or not we shall see.

But moving on...

Nazir's dream girl is an overused condom. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Inside joke. Nazir's dream girl is...
- DEMURE
- witty
- left-handed

Those of you who know Nazir and think he's really dreamy, but find yourself mired in right-handedness, CHOP OFF YOUR RIGHT HAND NOW. And then act shy about it, but when the right time arises, crack a sarcastic comment about it (like, "Oh that was HANDY" or something).

Perfect way to land the dude, trust me.

As for me, my dream girl must...
- have a sense of humour
- be intelligent
- be confident
- have a TREMENDOUS sense of fun

Hahaha so yes if you're all that, then hello! Oh but if you smoke, then eat my shorts.

A few hundred years from now, when we finally get ourselves a girlfriend, we'll revisit this post and see if she somehow fits the criteria (small as it is) that we set aside today.
