diari hari ini

Tengah hari tadi macam biasa la, pegi marudai cari bento. Mcam ni la kehidupan aku skang, hidup bergantung kepada bento aje, nak masak sendiri malas plak hehe. Masuk2 marudai, terus pegi bento corner, ambik shake (salmon) bento 398 yen, terus gi kaunter nak bayar.

Time tengah beratur tuh, aku tengok sekeliling; mata menjalar kearah kaunter2 lain, kiri kanan. Mak aih, customer lain sumer nya suri rumah tangga, sumer tengah shopping untuk masak malam la kot. Penuh satu shopping basket ngan ikan la, sayur la, buah-buahan la. さすが主婦！

Customer yg kat depan aku nih, punya la stylo berpakaian, ngan low-cut denim + mid-high heels; tapi dondong anak kat belakang mcam pikul beg skolah. Dia beli daging babi brapa pack ah, pastu tisu tandas, kubis pastu apa lagi ah.

Adoih bosan sungguh aku menunggu in-line masa time suri rumah ramai nih. Diaorg nih memang beli banyak gila. Time sampai giliran, aku ternampak plak kat corner depan pintu masuk tuh ada satu corner baru; jual sotong padat! Terus aku kagum: kat jepun pon ada jual gak ke sotong padat nih?! Terus aku keluar line, kaki melangkah laju aje ke corner yg mcam menarik tuh.

100 yen sebijik? Wah lai mahal nya! Tapi kalo tengok rupa, pastu aroma nya, memang sebijik mcam sotong padat kat mesia la. Cuma sotong yg diaorg pakai nih nampak lagi kembung. Ish ni tak leh jadi nih. Kena cuba try makan nih!!!

Dengan perasaan berdebar2 aku check ingredients yg terpampang kat promotion board tuh. Fuhh selamat! Takde pakai bahan2 halal! So apa lagi, terus aku ambik seketul, pastu terus gi beratur balik dalam line. Adoih kena tunggu lagi. Kali nih customer depan aku sorang makcik tua plak.

Tapi nasib baik sebab dia beli sos tiram ngan garam aje. Nampak gaya nya, makcik nih tgh masak kot, pastu baru sedar dia takde sos tiram ngan garam, so terus dia tergesa2 datang tanpa sedar yg dia tak tanggalkan lagi apron.

Urusan dah abis, terus menuju ke basikal. Wooh! Org yg parking beskal dia sebelah beskal aku letak anjing plak dalam raga. Kecik nak mampos anjing tuh, kalo aku sepak ngan kaki kiri pon bole terbang sampai Hulu Langat. Aku tarik basikal aku slow2, tak nak kejutkan anjing yg tengah tido. Geram nak sepak.

Balik2 bilik, terus letak sotong padat yg aku beli tadi atas cutting board. Belah dua. Cium bau. Hmm bau memang sebijik mcam mesia punya. Letak dalam mulut. !!!. Rasa pon sama siot! Cuma dia letak nasi jepun aje. Kalo yg mesia punya, letak pulut. Hmm… aku rasa version mesia lagi sedap kot, sebab rasa pulut tu lagi kuat.

Pastu aku buka monitor computer. Hmm drama LOST episode 7 dah siap download. So aku tgk la episode nih sambil makan bento. Gilak ah best gila episode kali nih! Memang tak sia2 aku download version HD punya. 1GB untuk satu episode tuh. LOST season 4 nih memang best. Aku rasa season yg paling best kot dlam banyak2 season dia selama nih.

Tiba2 dapat email drpd prof research lab. Waah dapat kerja plak! Kena siapkan sebelum 27hb nih. Hari ni 22hb… sempat kot buat. Kerja nya simple aje: Translate thesis yg foreign researcher buat, daripada English ke Japanese. Simple tapi memang memakan masa yg lama sebab nuance bahasa jepun ngan bahasa inggeris nih lain, so kena hati2 time translate. 面倒くせぇ！

Lepas abis tgk LOST, pasang Xbox 360 plak. Nak sambung main The Darkness. Tapi timbul satu masalah besar. Xbox aku kena penyakit The Ring of Death! Pastu freeze. Terus tak leh main !!! Arrghhh !!! Haish, nampak gaya nya… kena la aku beli PS3 hahahaha !!! Nanti beli la PS3 bila Grand Theft Auto 4 kuar. Tak sabar wooh. Xbox aku bole pegi mampos hahaha! Hmm… nanti ah anta kedai servis. Harap2 dia tak kena charge baiki. Siot tul la Microsoft, buat hardware asyik ada fault jeh. Software pon sama.

Sebab takleh main game, aku pasang movie plak. JUMPER. Mcam best aje. Trailer mcam best, so memang aku excited gila. Tapi malang sekali. Movie nih tak best gila. Cerita hancur. Lakonan lagi la teruk. Takde focus atau pon narration yg lurus. Progression diantara scene bercelaru. CGI ngan action scenes pon mediocre aje. Sungguh aku hampa.

Tup tap tup tap, dah pukul 9 malam. Dlm pkl 9:30, dak2 nih kumpul kat kaikan nak bawak kohai (junior) yg baru datang daripada mesia makan kat marumatsu. Kohai belanja, so kena la ikut hehehe. Perut aku masih kenyang lagi drpd makan bento tadi, so aku makan tempura soba aje. Simple. Terima kasih kohai2 yg baru datang; even though aku tak ingat lagi nama korang. Selamat Datang ke Akita.

Balik bilik, check email. Antara kandungan email2 aku yg menarik sket nak citer:

1) Awek Romania nih ejek aku ‘small penis’. Ces. Tapi aku tipu cakap yg aku ni org jepun time aku mula2 start email ngan dia. Memang patut la dia ejek aku mcam tu; org jepun nih besar mana la yeh.... Ntah2 dia pon tipu gak. Ntah2 dia bukan nya awek umur 24 tahun, tapi pakcik European tua kutuk berjanggut suka child pornography.

2) Mamat Nigeria, dia cakap dia umur 25 tahun, tegap, nice body pastu have a nice smile; dia cakap nak kawan. Hahahahahaha gila gay nak mampos! Cuak siot. Terus delete, ban and sayonara forever hahaha!

Abis check email pastu ngarut2 kat social networking sites, rasa nak buat assignment tadi plak. Tapi dah lewat nih. Baik aku tido. Tapi sebelum tido, tulis blog dulu hahaha. Start esok, bangun awal, pastu focus buat assignment. Okeh. Itu mission aku !

Fulamak! Post hari nih dalam bahasa ibunda ku! Feeweett!

i'm not just a ???? face!

Help! I was carefully observing the picture above to figure out what was written on the t-shirt; and I still can’t make out what are the exact words after “I’m not just a **** “. I’m guessing it’s “I’m not just a poker face”, but who knows what was really written under those well-proportioned set of sacks of joy.

p/s: Click the picture to expand it to full size to enable you to see it more clearly and hopefully help me solve this mystery. When your mom comes into the room and ask what were you doing, tell her that you're just trying to help me; and to help someone in need of help is a noble thing.

好きな女の子のタイプ

「どんな女の子がタイプ？」って良く聞かれた質問だが、毎回俺はこう答えた：「清潔感のある人」。あんまり考えたことのない質問だから、いつも適当に答えた。でも実はどうなの？って最近思い始めた。

好きなタイプって。。。あるのかな？

でも俺が確信したのはこういう人だ：肌がめっちゃ綺麗な人。

(^-^)v

肌が綺麗なお姉さんってすごい清潔感を持ち、いい香りをしそうで、さらに健康が良さそう！自己管理も良くて、優しそうじゃない？！納得できる理由ではないけど、分かる人は少なくないだろう。。。

すっぴんで超肌が綺麗な人ってマジやばいと思う！

舐めたい！

ヾ(^▽^;)ノ

ほら見ろ！

女性のその綺麗な肌は男をエッチにさせるんだ！これは間違いない。でも、それがタイプっていうのかな？ただの外見判断じゃねの？

問題に戻るとすれば、俺が好きな女の子のタイプと言えば、「元気よく、可愛い子」かな？でもそれはあいまいで範囲が広すぎる！難しいな。。。

でも、簡単に言うと、俺は広末涼子と榮倉奈々が好きだから、この二人のコンビネーションが俺のタイプかな？

ややこしい！！！

It’s Official: Hirosue Ryoko Divorced!

Actress Ryoko Hirosue announced Thursday (March 13) that she has divorced Takahiro Okazawa, her husband of a little over four years.

The 27-year-old actress was pregnant when she married Okazawa in December 2003.

She gave birth to the couple's son in April 2004.

Hirosue is one of Japan's best-known and most popular actresses.

(From Mainichi Japan)

One of my most favourite japanese actress is single again! Although it is a sad thing, I hope this would somehow recover her dying career because her acting career just went downhill after her marriage back in 2003.

My friend Kipeng would agree with me if I said that Ryoko Hirosue is the cutest actor during the turn of our century, and she still could be even at the age of 27. Divorce sucks but let’s be positive and hope for the better!

moveee reviuuu

Run Fat Boy Run – 8.0
Another great comedy starring (from shaun of the dead). Certainly not the best comedy out there because it uses a lot of the same formula that has been used in past comedy movies; but this movie kinda stands out because it succeeded in making the audience care about the main character and want to see him get through his story to the end. Funny and entertaining.

Lars And The Real Girl – 8.4
Surprise, surprise. Who would have thought that a film about a guy and his sex doll has more depth and meaning about life and love than basically thousands of other mediocre dramas and movies out there? A delusional guy puts life, emotion and feelings into a sex doll he bought from the internet. His older brother and his wife, realizing that he has some serious problems, seeks help from the small town’s community, and that resulted in a warm support from everyone to play along and help him with his elusions. As bizarre as a sex doll, the main focus in the film is about the fear of losing someone you love and the strong emotions attached to that emotion, and how the human mind could make up imaginations and make-believes to control that emotion from going out of control and jut ‘pop’. Great performance by the main character Lars, played by Ryan Gosling. His ability to express multiple emotions and thoughts throughout the entire film is just amazing. This is definitely a good movie. Funny, touching and made me think about it for some time after finished viewing. Highly Recommended.

それでも僕はやっていない – 8.3
(English Title: Even So, I Didn't Do It) Another fantastic movie from Masayaki Suo (Shall We Dance?). A dude got accused of groping a middle school girl in a packed train, got arrested and charged, but he insisted his innocence to battle through Japan’s unjust justice system. An intricate examination of the problems of an authoritarian judicial system where an individual faces the full, unchecked weight of state power. Truly got me interested because I live in japan, rides train packed with school girls wearing slutty short skirts and I’m innocent. The movie shows us how evil the justice system is. The majority of the time in the movie is spent in the court room, but each one of it is totally gripping and keeps you on the edge of your seat, all the time. This movie is so powerful; the Japanese government has decided to improve their judiciary system by implementing juries from common people into the system. Truly a nightmare for everyone who lives in Japan; being innocent is not enough to be declared as innocent. Highly Recommended! (Japanese Title: Soredemo Bokuwa Yatteinai)

Once – 7.9
The story of this budget movie is so simple that it could be mistaken to a documentary of a guy who tries to achieve his dream of becoming a recording artist. Coupled with several songs that could haunt your mind even days after hearing it for the first time (especially ‘Falling Slowly’), the natural and laidback approach in acting applied by both the main characters in the movie hits the tune (or tone) of the entire movie. I don’t see this as a movie, but as a long, incredibly well made music video. Get the soundtrack of this movie, NOW!

Appleseed Ex Machina – 8.0
This is the second movie from the Appleseed universe written by the brilliant Masamune Shirou (Ghost In The Shell) and by getting John Woo as the producer, the director has created a sequel that is more action oriented, entertaining and worth your time. This is still a Masamune Shirou movie, so the philosophical debate about the future relationship between human, android and synthetics is still there, but not with much depth like in Ghost In The Shell. Judging by the beautifully cool action choreography, you could tell how much influence John Woo has given this movie. If you love Masamune Shirou and John Woo, you just have to watch this.

The Holiday – 8.0
A romantic comedy that is surprisingly funny and romantic at the same time; this movie totally deserves the description. Although the story is simplified (a polite way of saying ‘dumbed-down) for the mainstream audience, it’s an entertaining one. The chemistry between the 4 main characters (Jack Black, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Kate Winslet), although not like honey and butter, were good enough suck you into being ‘in’ the movie. In a nutshell, the ladies are going to love this charming movie and the guys would probably say ‘ey not so bad!’. Cameron Diaz, as always, delivers a poor acting performance but her silliness kinda goes along the way with the silly story of the movie, hand in hand, so I guess its ok then.

Rambo 4 – 7.0
The Rambo series was such an old premise that I couldn’t even remember what was it all about except Rambo going out run-gunning communist bastards in angst. In Rambo 4, Rambo once again gone to kill more communist bastards, and this time around with the advancement of CGI and special effects; a lot more gory and exceptionally violent. Story was almost non-existent but the constant action + violent sequences made this movie not too boring to watch. I guess if you liked the Rambo series, or like action movies located in jungles, you are going to like this movie. Not a movie that you must watch though.

The Mist – 7.0
Another film adaptation from one of Stephan King’s horror novel, this film brings nothing new to the horror genre. I don’t remember being scared at all while watching this. The ending is kinda fucked up in a good way though.

Fearless – 7.0
This is going to be Jet Lee’s last kungfu film, and it’s sad to say that it is not his best. The action/fighting sequences were decently entertaining enough to watch but not on par of other Jet Lee’s best work like in Once Upon a Time in China. If you like Jet Lee, be prepared to be a bit disappointed. Still a decent kungfu movie though.

The Mafia The Salesman – 6.5
Another mediocre mafia-themed Korean comedy, with a little romantic side story. Like many other of its kind, the movie’s lack of focus on narration and the discontinuation of a lot of the scenes, including numerous plot holes and irrelevant scenes, made this film hard to recommend. The only thing that made me see this crap movie to the end is because of the pretty ‘heroine’. Being a comedy, it does have a few funny moments but these moments are really rare and far apart.

The Counterfeiters – 8.5
A professional money counterfeiter got caught and sent to a Nazi prison camp to help produce fake money for the Nazi to topple the economy of the Allied Forces. Being pressured by the Nazis to get the job done, and also juggling with moral dilemmas of helping an army that kills his own people, the jew counterfeiter shuts the door of humanity in hope to help himself. Each character were given enough detail and depth to make you want to care about them; and the story is gripping and were never boring to the end. Highly Recommended.

Taxi To The Dark Side – 7.9
Not just another documentary about the great American shame: inhumane conduct of torture of suspected terrorist in a warzone, this documentary focuses on one homicidal case of an afghan taxi driver who was tortured to death by the American Army, and used that particular case to show and reveal the real reasons of these atrocities, and how high the responsibility goes up into the army ranks and into the hands of politicians and govermant tink-tanks that pulled all the strings; and how these people used the plot holes in the laws of war to hold no responsibility for these disgusting acts of terror.

about the call

I got several emails and ym messages from friends and strangers asking about ‘the call’ that I mentioned in my shoutbox yesterday. Come to think about it, I really think that it was not something worth mentioning in the first place; not a big deal at all. Some were concerned about me, some were just curious but everyone wants to know what actually happened.

So I got the sense that I need to write this post explaining what ‘the call’ is about. Of course I can’t reveal it all here, because I need to protect myself too. Ok so here it goes.

2 days ago (10^th March), I got a phone call from this place that I don’t want to mention (lets call it KMDJ) about this particular content in my blog. There are several posts in the blog that contained some of the names of the people working in KMDJ. The reason why they want those names to be removed from my blog is because I have used their names to make stupid, cheesy jokes. While invading their privacy, I have unintentionally used these names without their permission; and that is something that I knew were unacceptable but I did it anyways. I’m the bad guy here, what I did was wrong and that is why I have apologized.

Although the caller said that the focus of the call is just about the ‘names’, somehow during the conversation, issues like politics and dirty language came up.

“the staff had read your other blog posts and we don’t want to tell you that we neither support nor are against your language and posts about the government because it is your right to have an opinion, and what use is a blog with strict censorship?”

So folks, they are not threatening me because I use foul language and wrote political posts; they are just kind enough to inform me that the people who is in charge of handling my scholarship is watching and reading what I wrote in my blogs with kind, gentle eyes! Oh how noble and kind of them! Although they have other important things to do, they had sacrificed their precious time just for me! I felt loved! ; )

So from now on, I will try my best not to make a stupid joke about the people who handles my money; and of course I will continue writing like I would normally do.

But I’m just curios, the posts about ‘the names’ are really old ones, dating back to 2005 and 2006; why bring it up now? Just right after my [G Election] post? Wow! What a coincidence, isn’t it?

G Election: the aftermath

My previous post about the general election basically reflected my concerns about the future stability of Malaysia, of whether this change is going to be good or bad. Shouting ‘viva la revolucion’ while waving your favourite opposition party’s flag is cool, but don’t be too excited just because the government that you hate had lost big time. When the winning celebration is over, when everyone stops congratulating each other because they help contribute in this historic moment of our country, the party stops and the real serious issues comes in to stick the needle of reality back into our veins.

Can PKR establish a clean, transparent government that competitively provides an economic solution that benefits everyone? Can DAP create the ideal secular society that treats the rakyat equally and fair? Can PAS deliver on their promise to keep welfare/social development in parallel with the spiritual prosperity? Who knows? Those questions seem to be too ‘pretty’ to be realized in this dirty world of ours anyways. Let’s just hope they don’t fuck things up worse than any political party before it.

Heavy lumps of HUGE responsibility had been exchanged during this general election, and the people sitting on the other end should be prepared.

With that said, the rakyat still has not lost their hope in the National Front. The National Front is still, the governing power that needs every ounce of support from the hopeful rakyats if it wants to change. Will the rakyat’s desire to see a positive change and significant improvements in the way the government deals with problems that need decisive decisions, be fulfilled? Will the huge loss be the big slapping hand that wakes up our leaders to pull their socks and stop fucking around with their little dicks; and start to hear what the rakyat has to say, and respect their opinions? Who knows?

My hope is that this general election makes both alliances a better governing power. I hope both the opposition and the government did their best to cater to the dire needs of the rakyat. I hope the competition would eventually benefit the rakyat, just like the competition that AMD brings into the microchip market that leads to INTEL going into ‘awesome mode’ and eventually kicked AMD’s ass in term of technology to eventually benefit the customers; because that is all that matters: the customer, or in this context, the rakyat.

I wish good luck to both the opposition coalition and the National Front. Now get back to work, and make sure you don’t fuck us up! BOTH of you!!!

G Election: surprisingly not surprising

The 12th Malaysian general election is basically over with the BN keeping a simple majority; and that is a big deal because the last time that happened, some malay and some chinese go out in the streets and killed each other. Let’s just hope that this grand political shift that our young country is facing does not result in a violent knee-jerk reaction from the fanatic supporters of any political parties involved.

Before the election, I knew that BN will never win Kelantan and Abdullah’s supporters will be reduced significantly; but I don’t expect such a big loss to the National Front! This shows how pissed the rakyat is with the current government, and the rakyat had delivered a severe punch to the groin of BN by voting in protest of the government, NOT in support of the opposition.

Although I believe that the National Front’s agenda is still very much relevant to the current social and economical patterns of Malaysia, I’m really looking forward to what the opposition can do to outperform what the government had done, economically and socially.

Malaysia under Badawi had a pretty good economic exponential, a pretty awesome success that exceeded foreign economist’s expectations. But it looks like a stable economy is not enough. The rakyat wants a racial stability that focuses on equal prosperity and transparent governing; a system that gives the people true freedom of speech, and an equal chance to strive for their own success. These are the things that the rakyat wants, and I can’t help it but be doubtful that the inexperienced opposition party could magically make those fancy words into reality. Those same fancy words came out of the charismatic mouths of Anwar Ibrahim, and for the sake of our country, let’s hope it’s not bullshit.

Politicians using fancy words put aside, let’s put reality back into play. Although Kelantan and Kedah will surely be governed by PAS, who is going to be the boss on the newly won opposition states of Selangor, Perak and Pulau Pinang? Although Parti Keadilan Rakyat appeals to the multi-racial rakyat, PAS’s pro-islamist agenda and DAP’s pro-secularist agenda will surely clash when making decisions about the states that they will control in the future. Will this lead to PAS being expelled once again from a political coalition just like when they’re with the National Front in 1977? Ok, maybe I am over-analysing the situation here. PKR, PAS and DAP will be nice to each other. Let’s hope they will.

One main question lingers inside the head of teary eyed BN supporters: Why we lost this bad? I’ve been away from Malaysia since 2003, so how the hell would I know? Although I have no real idea of the reasons, some of it is quite obvious. The first main reason would be the disappointment among ethic minorities, of course. Especially the Indians. They have been a firm supporter and believed in the government since independence, and just look at where they stand in the social pyramid of Malaysia. It’s not very pretty to say this, but any race would surely be pissed if they were to take the Indians’ positions. Basically, with the several religious rifts and the gigantic feeling of their voice not being heard, the Indians just gave up on BN to channel their support to someone else because most of them have no faith anymore in the coalition. But they just form 8% of the population, how can that be a significant power to change the guys sitting on top?

Oh man, I just forgot about what I want to write about the Chinese. What I can think of right now is that the Chinese has been long disappointed and felt been treated like a second class citizen in regard with the positive discrimination to the bumiputras. And the sexy Chua Soi Lex scandal does not help the MCA, at all. Powerful viagra pills put aside, I still think the Chinese still believes in BN; they just vote against it as a protest, and what a great protest that was. I don’t think the Chinese saw it positively about the islamization-race going on between UMNO and PAS either.

Crap, I don’t really want to write about the malays because it could be too long for anyone to read, including myself. So I’ll just point out the obvious reasons that I could think of:

1) Voting to protest the corrupt government, not to support the opposition.
2) Everyone likes the candy that Anwar is selling, because it tastes different, but nobody really knows whether it’s better or not.
3) Worried at the rise of crime and price of everyday goods.
4) They don’t want to vote for anyone else except Mahathir. These people need to wake up though.
5) Kelantanese don’t want to be thrown into the fiery fire of hell if they vote for anything else except PAS, because the guys who tell other people that they are ace in religious matters said so.

Wow, what the hell am I babbling about? I don’t even like politics! I woke up this morning, take a look at the news, freaked out and opened blogspot to write about how freaked out I am. What really matters to me right now is actually this: Is my scholarship going to be affected in any ways? I mean, I don’t want anyone to realize that they’re actually giving us more money than we needed to survive in japan, all these years. I hope they still don’t realize this little luxury they're given us and focus on the development and the racial harmony of the county. Because that’s more important right?

Man, I better close this one fast. I’m already sleepy and I need to edit some ugly pictures I took during the graduation party for foreign students yesterday. So here it goes:

The opposition has (almost) got what they wanted for the past 50 years. Now the main question is: can they deliver all the sweet promises to their hopeful supporters? Although there is a great sense of anxiety of what will happen in all of this suddenly powerful political change, something that Malaysians are not used to; I hope this is the change that all of Malaysians had wanted. I hope this is a change for the better. There is no better time for us to also enjoy political growth in parallel with our stable economic growth since the late 90’s economic crisis. Lastly, I am glad that the Human Rights Watch is WRONG. The opposition will never win this big if the election was rigged by the National Front. At 50 years old, Malaysia is still a young nation that is still searching for its true identity. This change might have helped us came closer to the society that we have long dreamt of: a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious community that enjoys economical stability, spiritual harmony and blooming prosperity. No dream is too ambitious, right?

Peace out to all my malaysian brothers and sisters! remember: don't kill each other this time, ok?

snowboarding is pain

I woke up this morning feeling excruciating pain all over my body. Each time I made a simple movement, it hurts. Every time I tried to lift up my arms, it hurts. A small lump of pain appeared of the left side of my throat and my shoulders are stiff as a board.

But I’m not going to talk about today. I’m going to talk about what I did yesterday.

Yesterday, I went snowboarding with pojik and zarul. The last time I snowboard is one year ago, so I have to be mentally prepared to fall a lot because I know I’m not going to remember what I have learnt before about snowboarding during my previous attempts at it. And fall, I did. A lot. And I guess although my mental side is ready, the physical side of me is not.

I snowboard like only 2-3 times a year so there is no way that I’m going to be good at it.

I sucked! Of course the main reason of this is because I don’t snowboard that much to obtain the required skills to be called ‘good at it’, but until now, I didn’t realize that I was THIS bad. If my memories were clear as the blue sky at the Juenese Ski Park yesterday, I thought I didn’t suck. Far from good of course, but definitely not on the level of suck; that was my previous assumption about my own snowboarding skills. Oh how wrong I was.

Getting your body slammed several times to the ground at high speed is painful enough, but nothing can be compared to when getting your dick squeezed between you body and a slump of hard snow, at high speed with full momentum from the fall.

I was so unfortunate yesterday. I was speeding on a steep slope. Feeling the cold breeze at this speed is fun and awesome! Then after realizing that if I don’t slow down, I’m going to lose control and hit a deer or something, I tried to do a cool, fast break; like the pros do it on tv. I forgot. I still suck at the sport. Lost balance and I got my body slammed to the ground very hard. And by some divine magic, during those crucial milliseconds of my mishap, I have succeeded to get my dick placed right on top of a slump of hard snow; and I let the momentum and speed of my body to slam my poor wang. Or shlong. Or weiner. Or pecker. Or knob. Or rod. Or shaft. Or phallus. Let’s just called it a male genitalia ok?

I must say. It was fucking painful. Damn!

I want to put my hand into my pants to make sure that everything is attached but I can’t really move because it was painful. So I just sit there, rubbing my little brother from the outside of my pants. I looked up and there comes a girl skiing down, staring at a foreigner who was rubbing his crotch like crazy. No matter how much you stare, you won’t understand the pain o little girl!

Then a sudden fear comes into play. What if it was squashed during impact? What if it was bleeding? I don’t want to have to say to my future wife this: before I ask to marry you, I have a secret to tell --> my dick is squashed and looks like a flatten banana balloon because I slammed it onto a slump of hard snow.

So I have to check whether the smaller (not the best word to describe it) part of me is functional and 100% OK. During these times of emergency, I wish I had a catalogue of women’s lingerie with pretty models in it to help me. Unfortunately, I don’t have those so I have to use my imagination. I used my extraordinary imagination to visualize all sorts of things that could turn that little guy into HULK, but all was in vain.

I was really freaking out; and then I remembered the time when I was just 8 years old at school. We had an English class in the library and the teacher (a pretty chinese-kelantanese young lady) told us to draw some pictures of animals. After giving her orders, we started our assignments on the floor while the teacher returns to the observing desk. I was sitting right in front of the teacher’s desk and to my horror, or joy, the pretty teacher sits on her chair with her legs opened, not knowing that the whole class could see her crotch clearly. To top it off, she’s not wearing anything underneath those silky white skirts so I could see clearly her unshaven secondary women lips(it's not a short skirt really, just on the knee line). I called my friend and ask him what the hell am I looking at, but he just told me to shut up so I continued to draw, while being very confused. At that time, I thought she had a horrible accident during circumcision, and I was pretty shaken by that thought. Damn, I should have looked a little bit longer because it would take years and years more before I get to see that again at this close range. Shaven.

After that brief moment of my fabulous history being brought back into my world of imagination, at last I got confirmation that the little guy is beginning to get angry and could turn into a full, bigger and harder than a rock HULK the green beast. I was so relieved. So after knowing that my banana and his two coconuts are okay, I continue snowboarding until its 3 p.m.

Before leaving, I had a shrimp burger and the sweet thing about this is that when I bought the coupons, I put 500 yen into the machine and it gave me back 710 yen! I’m so lucky. Then we brave the cold waters to take wudhu and performed solat in the changing room.

On the way back home, the three of us made some pretty weird conversations and had vowed to not speak the contents of the conversations to anyone else, so it was kinda cool. Then we hit the local sushi restaurant, and I ate like 5 plates only because I was just too tired to eat more.

Got back home, and went to sleep. Then I wake up this morning feeling like a train wreck. Then I did the laundry and watched appleseed ex machine; which is awesome. Then, because I have nothing else to do, I thought it would be fun to write about what I did yesterday, so here I am finishing my thoughts about that. Until next time....

*p/s: by reading today’s post, now you know that my childhood experience kinda affected my current state of mind a little bit. Might be funny, but not a pretty thang!

heroes in japanese

at last, the popular american tv-show heroes is coming to japanese tv (it's already on DVD though); and of course the audio is going to be dubbed to japanese. the first thing that comes into my mind is this: are the japanese going to smart up and also re-dub the japanese dialogue in the original version? the japanese dialogue in the original heroes is so dumb and bad, it must be!

and i'm right! they dubbed all the original japanese dialogues, into PROPER JAPANESE! thank you! but i was surprised because i didn't expect them to also re-dubbed hiro's dialogues, which i think is not very necessary because his japanese is good enough. well, he (masi oka) is a japanese-american, the only japanese in the show.

well, maybe they did it so that when hiro is speaking english, there would be no complication to try to find a voice actor that sounds exactly like masi oka.

anyways, i think heroes is the prime example of the stereotypes that asians is facing in the west: all asians are the same, have the same culture and language. this is because, other than masi oka, all the other 'japanese' characters in the show is chinese, and you don't have to be an ignorant westerner to notice that by the their facial appearance and the god-awful pronunciation.

but i guess it can't be help. maybe there is not so many japanese is the US, compared to the chinese population. that must be it. i hope the reason is that instead of pure ignorance from the casting part. this might been quite off topic, but the worst actor that has the worst japanese accent is the guy playing adam monroe/takezo kensei (david anders) in season 3. damn, his acting is the worst in all the characters in the show, and he has the worst japanese pronunciation ever! i can't really understand what the hell he is saying when he's talking japanese. the original japanese dialogue was pretty dumb anyways, so i guess it does not matter. but what i don't understand is this: why is this guy, who has no acting talent or the ability to properly PRONOUNCE japanese language's simple aiueos, got the main role throughout the end of season 3?

back to stereotyping in hollywood. i know it's not important to a lot of people, and it's really not that bad to BE that ignorant. you can't force other people to acknowledge the cultural differences between us. the rapid growth of globalization, with the great help of the boom of the internet, does help people of different backgrounds to learn about each other; and i think we should appreciate the 'rehabilitate and re-educate' process was even happening, although in a worm-crawling speed, little by little. but i do hope these people would take off their horse eye covers and see the world in a bigger, multi-cultural way.

what was my post about in the first place?
