How ya doin



I dont know why no one has done this before but this is a compilation of Joey's best moments. Totally cracked me up.

Probably my favouritest Joey line
7:26 : "Sup with the whack playstation sup!"

Omg la Joey hahahaha

Finally..

Wah, finally, after like weeks of torture, the burden of this draggy exam period is over. After all the studying and the stolen-and-then-found-back-bag and, and Alex Wai, I feel so relieved that my exams are over. What better way is there to celebrate this wonderful event other than not knowing how to do half of my paper this morning. First phase - did all the questions I could do. 2nd phase - look through the questions again and try those I roughly know. And guess what, I had 1+ hr to spare. I took my time doing the 3rd phase which is to just whack the rest. Even then, I was becoming restless as I looked at students leaving the hall. I was like "wtf la, I should just leave also since I really dunno how to do. might as well ah, no need to waste time." But I dunno why I thought there was a possibility that I might get some ideas out of nowhere. Come to think of it, why ah? I'm very sure I didn't change any of the answers and didn't add any more either. What I did was a cycle of looking at the questions, look at the time, then look at some empty spaces on my paper, look at the time, look at my matric card and look at the time, and look for hellos (standard). At the end of it all, I realised one thing. My photo in my matric card is damn off, like some druggy mat rep.

Mau chalen ke pe Zat. And Nas.

After that inspirational discussion at supper, aku semangat main Marvel vs Capcom. Perhaps the only gang fight we'll ever get ourselves in, I screen-recorded the epic fight of my Shadow Lady [secret character] and Wolverine tagteam.



With a personal best of an awesome 5 hit combo, (five tau, FIVE) I must admit, I am over my primary-school-madrasah-skipping arcade championing days.

Nevertheless, mau chalen ke pe. Jumpa kat arcade ah lai. 1 token only.

Pepe goes wild



Even in Shaolin soccer you didn't see such a thing ah. Despicable, totally despicable I tell you. He has just been given a 10 game suspension. 10 games? Come on man. Ferdinand missed a drug test and he was given a 9 month suspension. Ok, you might say that I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but I still think a 10 game suspension is punishing him too lightly.

The Spanish soccer federation banned Pepe for one game for the red card, eight games for aggression towards opponents and one more match for his offensive remarks (oh ya, cos you didn't deserve your red card and you deserved to be on the field right. idiot). 8 games for aggression towards opponent? It should be 3 months for unprovoked aggression.

Lets say, lets just say he shoves the guy, the guy is bingit and headbutts him or something, then maybe, maybe he has a slight reason to be angry. But this, he shoves the guy, the guy falls (some says its a dive, but who cares), just minding his own business, rolling on the ground, acting hurt a bit (all the standard stuff they learn during fall drills), then POW, one kick and POW second kick. The best part was not shown in the video. Pepe proceeded to punch a Getafe player. Wow. So obviously, like i said before, he was so bingit about being unceremeniously sent off that he had a few words with the fourth official.

I think the best thing is, Juande Ramos said the ten-match ban is excessive. Its one thing to defend your player's actions but to go to that extent is just ludicrous. So what if Pepe said he lost control and that he is sorry? So what if he had all this pent up frustration because his team needed the win. That doesn't excuse his actions.

Look at Rooney man. He is perpetually angry. I think he the most affected whenever Man u is trailing or whenever they play badly. But you don't see him kicking and punching people right (well at least not anymore). Look at his performance yesterday. Superb, just world class. Its this kind of players that you have to respect, players who are passionate, give their all and channel their energy in the right direction.

If Real Madrid appeals the decision, I hope they slap him with a harsher ban.

It's not easy being a football fan

Every now and then comes a match that reaffirms your faith and support for your beloved football club. I just witnessed one.

Two goals down at half time to a rejuvenated Spurs side and Man U did not play badly at all to be fair. The goals just came in much to the shock of fans like me watching. Sure, Man U always comes back but what if they don't? You start to wonder.

Ferguson made his intentions known right away replacing Nani with Tevez. And within seconds of kickoff, there he was chasing every lost cause playing every minute like it was his last. Then penalty! The tension was evident on Ronaldo's breath as he took one deep breath before he stepped up to the spot. Cool as you like, straight down the middle. The crowd went wild and something happened in the space of the next 15 min which turned the game on its head. Scoreline reads 4-2. Berbatov then adds in another sure why not 5-2.

What a superb team effort. Big players stepping up to the plate, Rooney and Ronaldo weighing in with two each. Berbatov was excellent throughout, that should shut up the media. And Tevez, whom I thought was the inspiration of the comeback.

Fooo yo time to catch some breath

Adam Lambert will Menang

The last time I wrote about American Idol, I was swooning over Casey Carlson (she is so hot). Well this time, I have to gush over Adam Lambert. When he sang "Black or White", I thought he was very good. I was still of the opinion that Danny would win. But after hearing his take on Mad World, I was blown away. It was absolutely brilliant. Even Simon gave him a standing ovation.




He seriously is very talented and a natural entertainer. If he doesn't win AI, I have nothing to say.

Like Kara said, "Every week I cannot wait to get to the show and see what you are gonna do next". My sentiments exactly.

Aku menang, tapi aku kalah. (I won, but I lost)

Aaaaah, hairan kan???? (Amasham Zat, joke baik eh)
Today, or should I say yesterday, was a roller-coaster ride for me. First things first. I had my Maths paper in the morning. The first few questions were easier than I expected, but when I got to the last question (some stupid probability qn), I got stuck. So that's about it. After that I went off to study for my elective - Working in the 21st Century, sial. I realised that there was a lot of stuff that I haven't read up so I just skimmed through everything, kecoh kecoh. The paper was at 5pm, so by 330 I was panicking and I gave up reading at about 430. When I reached the exam hall, actually just outside the hall - where my FUCKING BAG GOT STOLEN - guess who I saw, guess who, guess who.
'Al', wait for it................ 'ex'. wait for it........... 'Wai' => 'Alex Wai'. If you dunno who that is, then nvm. Hello seh. I think she is like my lucky charm ah. So far, everytime that I've seen her before a paper, I've never gotten below a B-. But I should just keep faith la, if u know what I mean. Hahaha. The paper was relatively easy, considering the amount of last minute kecoh work I input.
Then comes the best part of the evening. When I went out of the exam hall, I couldn't find my bag. I put it with all the other bags la, at the shelves. I thought "maybe Hazahar took for me", so I called him up but he said he didn't. I thought he was joking initially. But it wasn't funny at all when after everyone had left, there were really no bags left. I was like KIIIII, FUCK FUCK FUCK. Apparently this other guy lost his iPod and found a pouch in his bag. That pouch belonged to this girl whose handphone was stolen. Siape menang seh. Well at least their BAGS weren't stolen! My WHOLE BAG, MY WHOLE FUCKING CRUMPLER BAG! (which I got as a birthday present a few years back). I don't mind losing the notes inside la, coz those exams were done. But my calculator, my iPod, and house keys. WTF WTF. All 3 of us reported this to the Campus Security Division. Isap la, NTU security is so fucked up anyway.
To make the day a kick-me-in-the-crotch, spit-in-my-neck fantastic, when I went to have dinner, the stuuuuupid Panggang shop had no more chicken chop so I settled for chicken chop from the western shop, which was wtf.
So to sum up the day, in the words of A. A. Milne, "Give me back my bag, dillhole!" and, and, "When you lose, you lose. When you win, you also lose."

Arsenal menang.

I don't normally do this. But did anyone watch Arsenal vs Villareal (or were you watching boring Man U play Porto)? They ran circles around Villa. No really. Although well, 6 offsides for Adebayor [and one goal]. Now I know how you guys feel. But he's my hero. And Nas, what are you doing supporting Liverpool? You're like Gibbs ah in every sense - small, fast turns, silky touch-passes, step cool tricks. You even walk and run like him.


So do yourself a favor. Support yourself, support Arsenal. And support Adebayor.

Siapa menang

Chelsea 4-4 Liverpool
Oh WOW.

The neutral in me was enjoying every bit of the game. But the Man Utd in me was desperate for Pool not to win, for them not to bring back any momentum into the league. Still, you have to admire the way they just kept coming back. At 2-0 and 4-3 especially, they really look as if they can nick one more goal to win the tie. Even Lucas scored so anything looked possible. But I think Pool can still hold their heads high after such performance, it was exceptional even by their mission impossible high standards.

Credit to Chelsea though for always finding the goal to kill off the tie. Man of the match was undoubtedly Franco di Santo with his stellar shake-of-the-hands performance.

Ok now for Porto

Finally, A Class 'A' Music Video

After months of waiting, The Great Spy Experiment's first professionally-produced music video is out in the public domain. GSE finally released the music video to A Class 'A' Love Affair not too long ago with the help of production house Reel Loco Production.

And while locally-produced music videos are mostly pantat (look at Tanya Chua's strange SBS-bus one and the cringingly emotive music videos of our national day songs), this one does justice to the band's personality, and that passionate, intimate feel of Class 'A' Love Affair.

Enjoy.

Nice Guys Finish Last

Great timing. 2:22 am.

I looked at the mirror just now, wondering what I have become, or am becoming. Another day, another session, another you-know-what, a different intip. And I thought, this cannot be a good thing. Therefore I decided to stop. As in really.

For you guys who don't know, there's no need to know. For those who do know (I haven't been updating you guys much after), you guys should be proud to be in TOWNS. There's nothing to be ashamed about being nice guys and having no satays.

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys who finish last, who never become more than friends, who endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point.

This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores.

This is in honor of the guys who obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support.

This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern.

This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style, and even her (poor) taste in men.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway.

For the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, bad boys & players, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

I am so proud of you guys.

Alma mater



Then the last part we will appear and say, " Still no satay"

Standard la kita

'boring' goal

I was studying at NTU on Saturday, until quite late, so I had no choice but to miss watching Lucas own the park (disciplined la kirakan. Isap bodoh!). But damn it la, Lucas didn't start, upset ah. Haha. Just like 5 mins into the game, my friend msged me that Torres scored top corner. I was shocked ah, so I called the fellow up and asked how he scored. My friend said "oh, he got the ball from the right then just shoot. goal." I thought "ok la, boring goal or easy goal." But then, when I saw the goal, I was "WTF!! HOW DID HE, HOW DID HE, HOW DID HE??!!!". This is why Torres is world-class. And this is why my friend shouldn't apply for a job as a football commentator.

Come In, Come Out, Come In, Come Out Tonight



I'm gonna watch Oasis, and I'm feeling supersonic.

Give me gin and tonic.
