Black Screen of Doom

OMG? SERIOUSRY?


The Black screen? Is it true?

I quote some random source:

"Starting on Wednesday, roughly one third of the nearly 8.6 million Malaysian Windows XP Pro users will experience the blackouts, according to The Star Online.  Once one of these "blackouts" occur, a user will need to reset the machine’s desktop background to regain access.  Only problem is- when 60 minutes are up, the black screen will reappear and the user must go through the whole process again."

And, Im not making it up, I heard it on the radio too. The link to the article by The New Straits Times.. HERE


I dont know how this weird black screen works but... we are all in grave danger.. unless you are rich and got ripped off into buying original micro$oft crap. Note that, although it is crap; it's still better than any apple. ;D 

Then again. Its some Malaysian organized plan. What are the chances of success? 

Pretty low. Well I think I've found a way to avoid this dumb occurence (if it actually happens). So if it actually happens, I shall update this post. =)

A lesson in life: Believe in unicorns.

When in doubt... summon magical unicorns.

And now he knows what to do.

Avril too sexy for Malaysians, apparently.

Omg. Totally WTF-ness.

Warning: Post may contain vulgarities. Lol.

 

Im not an Avril fan. But I quote E!..

"A hard-line Islamic opposition party in the Southeast Asian country is calling on the government to scuttle an upcoming concert featuring the "Sk8er Boi" singer, calling her stage act way "too sexy" for local tastes."

"Officials with the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party's youth wing contend Lavigne's Aug. 29 performance in Kuala Lumpur would set a bad example for citizens, especially coming two days before the nation's Aug. 31 Independence Day holiday."

Okay so some party full of gay fags think that Avril is too sexy for them but who gives a shit about their gay asses. AND, who do they think they are knowing what our local tastes are? I like pork. :D But unfortunately; because they disapprove of this, no one gets to watch the concert.

He is not the person responsible for this. lol.

' "It is considered too sexy for us...it's not good for viewers in Malaysia," party official Kamarulzaman Mohamed was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models."

Kamarulzaman subsequently sent letters of protest last week to Malaysia's Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry and Kuala Lumpur's mayor demanding the gig be canceled. '

OMG? This guy thinks that we're all climbing around coconut trees and swinging around here and there. Its as if he thinks that there is no such thing as the INTERNET. Too sexy? Anyone can go online and search for 'sexy' on google. So why not get rid of the internet? He even sent gay letters of protest. Despo bitch.

"Additionally, artists are not allowed to wear anything revealing and must cover themselves from the chest to the knees in line with conservative Muslim edicts."

=.= So I guess if you're looking forward to seeing Avril, dont be. Shes gonna be covered in black cloth, like a walking letterbox.



I quote again..

"A number of notable Western entertainers have run into trouble performing in Malaysia. Beyoncé axed a date in the country and instead booked a show in Indonesia rather than try to adhere to the country's stringent standards.

Christina Aguilera avoided the country altogether during a trek through the region last year, while Gwen Stefani decided to forego the belly-button ring and her usual stripped-down fashion statement to placate the powers that be."

Its not a good thing. Celebrities wont want to come here to perform. Its good enough that they WANT to come and perform, but be an asshole and give them rules and shit? They might as well go to Singapore. We are true champions. =.=
Malaysia Boleh!

Okay. Done ranting. The |$@ wont unfairly detain me for this right? =P

Random Music 21/08/08

Again. Because there are some super fantastic albums out this week.


Starting with the hardcore rocks..

Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone

Release August 26th

Usually I wouldnt listen to Slipknot, but their recent (4th) studio album, Hope Is Gone, is really different from the rest. If you're not into the heavy metal kinda thing then skip this. Their music now consists of acoustic guitars and other additions, even clean singing (well in just one track, Sulfur). Most tracks have a clean melodic progression, which shows a more mainstream (less extreme?) side of Slipknot. I like. Especially the crazy percussion.

To the less hardcore..

Staind - The Illusion of Progress

Released August 19th

Staind, probably best known for their older songs 'Its been a while', and 'So far Away'  are now back with their 13-track album, The Illusion of Progress. The songs on this album are so much lighter than previous. With a smaller impact, which makes it somewhat radio friendly. If you're expecting something better than their previous albums or at least at par, this album would be as it states: an illusion of progress. The conclusion? If you dont mind Staind at a lighter level, this album is for you.

And to the piano rocks..

Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger

Release September 30th?

Havent heard from them in a while, due to the lead singer having cancer and all, they're back. The album will be in stores in about a month and a week, but its leaked. Bad bad record label. I wouldnt say it's their best album... Somehow, the songs get repetitive and sound the same. Don't get it. After being MIA for so long, guess they should have stayed that way..

And ending with probably the best release this week year.. 

Lady GaGa - The Fame 

Released August 19th

Woah. Incredible debut album. Seriously very very hot. If you thought Just Dance was good then the rest of the album would be like... ten times more addictive. Every song is addictive until its soo unfair, Im hooked. The Fame showcases a variety of her talents as an artist, covering hard dance tracks, reggae, and to the more vocal centered tunes, all rolled up in her addictive magic. This album is a drug. Perfect. Cant wait for her next album already.
If you have ears you'd get this album.

Cats

 Dont know. Dont know. I just had to update.


Cats are useless.

No wait. They make good emoticons..

And they've been there, have you?

Omg cats are so cute. And everyone must agree. If you dont you're gay.

Set Up

Yesterday was a sad day for us Malaysians, as you all know, Lee Chong Wei lost to douchebag Lin Dan of China. So there goes our only hope for a gold medal while China gets another gold medal to add to their other twentysomething thirtysomething.

 douchebag.

Chong Wei's performance was really really really disappointing. Up to a point where it was as if he was purposely giving up free points... Hmmm. How suspicous. And, after all.. the Olympics werent too realistic either. And.. its China.. and, its China in the finals.. Hmmm....

Okay, my own conspiracy theory, where Chong Wei was bribed a million USD, by the secretive transvestite Lin Dan. As simple as that.


And here is proof... Chong Wei (left) double checking... and Lin Dan offering him free gay club flyers..

Notice the painted fingernails..

Random Music 16/08/08

Yay. More music!




If you like alternative Irish rock...

The Script - The Script

Released August 11th 
 

Yet another debut release, The Script are a three piece band from Dublin. Their single We Cry has been out for quite a while; but to me, the bridge (rapping?) of the song sounds like a rip off Jason Mraz while the rest of the song repeats over basically the same tune which gets repetitive after a couple of listens. The lyrics are worth a listen though, which sort of compensates for the predictable chorus.

Well that's just my two cents about their single. 
Now for the rest of the album. I'd say its very good. Most songs start of slow sounding, and end up bursting into life. Very similar to the rich soul of One Republic but with an Irish twist. 

If you like One Republic (thats like, 70% of the world?) you'd definitely want this album. So get it. Somehow.

Jonas Brothers - A Little Bit Longer

Released August 12th
 

And recently the Jonas Brothers released their third album.. Whats there to say that has not been said? Typical Jonas Brothers songs all in one CD. You either like them or hate them. Both ways, they're still overrated. The album cover is not bad though.. yada yada yada...


Then the rest are released singles.

David Archuleta had his first single Crush out a while ago. Worth a listen if you like upbeat pop ballads. Still waiting for Cook though.

And Chris Brown has another single out called Dreamer. Sounds like an Olympics theme song to me, motivational lyrics and all that.. Edit: It IS an Olympics theme song!

Okay thats all for now. If you want ANY of these songs, ask me for em in the chatbox. =D

P.S. These highlight thingys are fun.

Its all fake?

The Olympics has been creating quite an uproar recently. Not due to its success, but its fabrications. After all, the Chinese are good at that.. haha.


Remember the footprints?

Apparently the video aired on television (and in the stadium) was a really convincing digital remake which took almost a year to complete. Yep, they fooled us all by the billions. Its like thinking 'They used real pandas to film Kung Fu Panda?' Those in the stadium watched on the big screen, and those that watched on TV saw the same.
They even included the 'camera shake' effect to impersonate a person on a helicopter filming. 
Oh and not forgetting the 'air pollution' effect too. Otherwise no one would have bought it.


Remember the little girl in red who sang some song at the opening ceremony?  

(again) Apparently she was lip synching. The Olympics organisers thought that the original singer (slightly chubby, with buck teeth) was too ugly, despite the voice; to be shown to the public. So its true that we should judge a book by its cover. The Olympics encourages it! =D


Ticket sales were bad?

Very true. Apparently, it was SOO bad that the Organisers had to bring in thousands of 'fake fans' to fill the seats, its not because no one wants to go; but because of (much more expensive) illegal tickets, which makes it harder to find affordable tickets. Meaning less real people.


Maybe it's REALLY a disaster after all...

Why so green?

You know you're in Kuching when...

Green water? =.=

Yes it is in Kuching. No its not photoshopped. No its not radioactive.

Okay, changed the template AGAIN, which took me an hour plus. Hopefully we will all agree that its an acceptable one. And hopefully I will stay satisfied with it (for quite some time). =D

 

Blackout + Camwhore?

On Saturday night there was a blackout, and the whole Kuching (and more?) sat, and sweat in darkness.
And as for me, I got stuck in a jam whilst driving to find a petrol station. Because my car was almost out of petrol. -_-
Reached the station and (well duh, the pumps need electric to work) I could not pump petrol. So screw that. *drove off*

But seriously! What if my car was like.. SERIOUSLY almost empty?! I'd be stranded somewhere with nothing to do. =(




The lego says it all..
With nothing to do I'd be forced to camwhore due to the retardation from sweating and frustration.
So here are the pics... of ME.. In the DARK.. without FLASH. So yeah. If you see repetitive black nothings there is nothing wrong. :D

Omg I look so ugly in this one!!



Close up..


Close up again. This time at a vertical rotation of 10 degrees!



Close up again. This time at a vertical rotation of 20 degrees!



Close up again. This time at a vertical rotation of 30 degrees!



Close up again. This time at a vertical rotation of 40 degrees!

Omg I look so FAT!! But im posting it up anyway...

Posing ^_^V

Serious face.. =|

Emo... with waterproof mascara..

Still emo.. with the *messed up mascara* effect..

And lastly, another picure of me me me me me.

Gayfag camwhores. =.=
