Elusive Artists

About four or five years ago when i was working in a cybercafe (which has now closed), a friend stumbled upon a jpop group that sounded really really good as in they made really good music. He introduced the group to me after which i was totally entranced by their work that i immediately went all over the net looking for more of their music. I've got to say that during that time it was like close to impossible looking for their stuff, or maybe i wasn't looking hard enough i don't know and i can't remember. We even raided the cd stores scouring every inch of the shelves allocated for japanese music but to no avail. Eventually we gave up hope and the group has been forgotten and lost in some parts of our memories....until recently. Fast forward to the present on one faithful day sitting in another friends' car, this cool sounding japanese song was being blasted through the speakers which my friend calls his 'happy song'. When i heard it i began to reminisce about the jpop group from four to five years ago which had eluded my grasp. My curiosity began to stir and prompted me to ask his 'just who the hell am i listening to', which of course he answered to what i had already suspected 'M-Flo'. With the emergence of google searching for almost (if not) anything on the net has been a walk in the park, and so immediately when i got home i did exactly what i had intended to do...look for more songs. M-Flo happens to be like the Neptunes, you could even call them the 'Neptunes of Japan'. Most of their song or almost all of their songs are collaborations which mixes between the R&B/Hip-Hop genre with fusion.And now finally after four (or five) years waiting i have finally attained that which have manage to elude me for so long...their album!!! mwahahaha.

The first songs i heard are from this album

Environment Crissis and Evolution

Has anyone actually realise that with each and every single year that passes by the summers get hotter and the winters get colder? There are more and more natural disasters that matches previously recorded levels or even exceed them. I was just readin the sunday paper when i came across an article (although i didn't read the whole thing) which shows that there is a 27% increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. So what does this all mean? Well apparently carbon dioxide is the gas that is responsible for global warming, so i guess thats why it keeps getting hotter la each year. Coming to think of it when i went to the US some years ago i managed to find some time to visit the planetarium, i can't exactly remember the name but its in New York la (can't be bothered to find out now). Anyway there i saw some sort of 'pictures' if you will that shows the levels of the ozone layer and the respective years. I guess you know where i'm heading with this la right, well its really obvious really...as the years go by our planets ozone gets thinner and thinner, especially in metropolitan areas or highly populated areas. Its a known fact that its getting thinner and i'm sure you don't need me to tell you that, but the way i see it nothing is ever gonna change and i believe that it will continue to get thinner and hotter.

Which brings me to the point of the movie (or book if you prefer) called 'Time Machine' where in a distant future all mankind will be living underground, well not all la but alot la. The evolution of man has now practically stopped, well physically la anyway we are however still evolving but more on the brainy side (or so i was told la). Which means that probably in a distant future man would have like really small bodies and really big heads, like ET or how aliens are commonly depicted in the movies or comics or whatever or where ever you saw them. Why we have stopped evolving physically leh is because we have grown comfortable with our lives, think about it there are so many creations of man that assists everybodies daily lives. So i'm just wondering that if one day when all of the earths ozone has finally been depleted (so to speak), and man were force to live underground how would we then evolve? Or will we just perish for being exposed to the suns radiation? Or will we also be able to evolve to withstand those radiation (highly unlikely)? Or will man find a way to recreate the ozone? Well whatever the future will be, at times like this i find the saying of 'Agent Smith' (From the matrix) to be so true...then man are like a cancer, a disease!!! I just hope that i won't be around when the ozone decides to collapse, hahaha.

Its the weekend

And so it has come to pass that another week is coming to an end, in fact it also means that we are getting older and time is passing by. You know the weekends aren't as fun as it used to be anymore, there isn't much to look forward to la, the weekend is just like any other day la, the same thing happens as every other day la and the list goes on and on and on. Well thats obviously the case mainly because i'm bumming, i'm not working so everyday is a weekend to me, i'm not playing WoW because my line is fucked so really at this moment in time life is just plain boring...colorless even, dull or whatever the hell you wanna call it. And because i'm not working i don't really have the spending power to actually go out and buy more models for me to waste time on, so i really need to start lookin for some cheap thrills and going out for drinks all the time isn't exactly very cheap either. If i actually think about it i think i spend more money having drinks then i spend on ciggarettes, hrm...well then again i get 3 packs of ciggies free everyweek la so i guess that explains why i don't spend so much on smokes. This particular friday seems especially boring, i was suppose to do something important this afternoon it was so important that my future actually depended on it, but then i got lazy and decided to fuck it. Well lucky thing i didn't really fuck the whole thing up and instead do what every lazy man does, use the phone instead of making a trip. Well at least i solved the problem without having the need to travel but nevertheless i half heartedly did what i have to do...which of course is not good la.

Right after that i was just plain surfing the net and then i got a phone call to check out my friends connection which seems to have some very weird problems. In the end though i came to a conclusion that his modem is dead, and i'm pretty sure that is really what happened la...how leh i really have no idea maybe a bug went inside and decided to take a leak and short circuited something i don't know take a guess but it really doesn't concern me. Right after that whole trouble shooting process my nose started acting up...yes again!!! And now i feel like shit, as i do everytime my nose starts to act up. Sigh...why does this have to happen. The only thing that i thought was really great today was meeting up with two old friends that i haven't seen in a long time (well not really that long la...but i used to have drinks with them every week or two so yeah long enough). But besides that today was pretty much the same as yesterday...cept you substitute the movie with the drinking with old friends. Thankfully though as we approach christmas there should be lotsa movies coming out so at least i know i'll be hitting the movies a number of times this coming month, and on top of that there is that trip to PD although i'm really still thinkin if i should go or not...dilemma dilemma. And lastly best friend would be back for christmas, nothing in store for christmas though so yeah i think i'll just wait and see what happens then....hopefully i'll have an eventful christmas and new year. So heres to you guys having a great weekend.

Long day with Harry Potter

Gawdammit i'm so freaking sleepy, oh well thought i'd just blog before i go to sleep. Had quite a long night last night due to some last minute plans to catch 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', i have to say that this is probably one of the most enjoyed harry potter movie i've seen to date. I'm guessing because there was a lot of action in it compared to the previous harry potter movies, well as for the book i wouldn't know and quite frankly i don't really care either. I'm not saying that the book ain't good though, i'm just not interested enough to bother picking it up and reading it so i'll just leave the whole story telling to the movies and other people to fill in the missing gaps. As every year goes by, we get a harry potter story as well as a movie to entertain the masses, ain't that great. Anyway i don't plan to talk about the movie and give out any spoilers well not that anyone would care but mostly i'm just too sleepy right now to recollect about the events and highlights of the movie, but here is a little something la my favorite part was the scene with the dragon....after all i have this affinity towards dragons (gawd i must have said that a million times already). The long night was because it was really a midnight movie but we kinda got there early to try and get some tickets that were released by them late comers who already reserved tickets, unfortunately though that didn't really go as plan so we ended up with a midnight movie. Seeing that we are already there i suggested that we just go grab a drink there instead of going off and coming back later, so in the end i ended up being quite broke due to the massive amount of money spending on coffee. The movie ended around 3 (or was it 3 something...can't remember) after which we proceeded to the nearest mamak for a drink (normal la), left the place around 4 something and proceede to another mamak to meet up with another friend for drinks (don't ask). So eventually returning home at 7am, i think that if i were to have bought me a drink during the movie i would still be in the toilet pissing right now judging from the amount of fluids that i have already consumed in such a short amount of time hahaha. The one thing that i really enjoy about going to the movies is the good laugh i always get when the title appears on screen...not because of the title but because of the Malay translation, they never cease the amaze me. Just like how that chinese bunch of people translated star wars, that was so damn hilarious. Anyways i'll get the link and put it up along with the pictures i promised maybe sometime next week when i can get those things done. Until then i'm gonna have to catch some shut eyes got lotsa important stuff to do today....need to sleep!!!

Still experiencing connection problems...sigh

Oh well i kinda missed out on getting the pictures for them models yesterday, hrm...maybe tomorrow or something then, if i remember that is hahaha. Anyways my connection still sucks so i can't play any WoW and therefore my account has remained frozen and i think i'm gonna keep it that way for as long as my line deems that it is unplayable, man this really sucks. Why??? Simply because the damn box set costs around RM230 (when i bought it) and now i'm not playing, to make things worst all my friends are all higher level that i am, and being left behind isn't really a good thing because i would have to start to look for other people (strangers) in game to party up to do some quests....ok ok i bet you guys have no idea what the hell i'm talkin bout so i think i'll just stop there. Point is i really don't understand why my line is lagging so badly, i mean if there were some service interruptions then that would explain this whole ordeal that i'm going through, but i doubt that that is whats going on because my neighbour seems to be doing just fine. So that really doesn't explain why my connection is so bad right. But come to think of it this problem started to occur at about the same time when my telephone line got fixed, so now i'm wondering whether that might have been the cause of the problem. Unfortunately though i didn't really have a choice about fixing the telephone line, because if i didn't get it fixed then i wouldn't be able to go online in the first place and therefore i couldn't get anything done and then i would need to go to other peoples house bringing around my laptop and my router so that i could get things done, now talk about inconveniece.

Anyway on the brighter side of things at least i managed to get alot of things done, although some of the tasks at hand are only half way through. For example cleaning my room, yeah i know i've been talkin bout cleanin my room for god knows how long. But my nose really can't stand the dust see, and as a matter of fact my nose still keeps giving me problems on a daily basis. So i do what i can when i can, well at least its getting there right...its definately better then just leaving my room in a mess. On top of that i manage to finish my model which was something that i've been meaning to do for quite some time now, so thats another plus to the whole line problem thingy. I need to be visiting Uni some time this week too, need to get some issues resolved and after that i can start looking for a job. Gawd i so damn need to start get my lazy ass of the computer and be part of the statistics, at least then i don't have to worry too much about money. And also maybe then i can start to look into getting my own car...full fledge la, not the half half situation that i'm in right now. Well i think the activities that i've got lined up for today would be sleep, sleep, sleep and more sleep....and if i wake up in time i'm gonna test my line speed once again and if i really get pissed off i'm gonna call them up and give them a piece of my mind.

Picked up a new hobby.

I think i've been staying out too late and too long these pass few days, reason why i said that is because i haven't blogged...hahaha. I usually get too tired to blog already everytime i get home and for some reason i don't like to blog earlier in the day like say in the afternoon. Anyway because i don't really have much to do these days i've been watching a lot of anime just to pass time, as a matter of fact i was finishing animes so fast that i had to put a stop to it before i run out of things to see...hahaha. So a few days ago when i was going through another phase of cleaning my room, i found one of my gundam models that i bought some time back but couldn't get my lazy ass of the computer to fix it up, well i just finished fixing it. I didn't paint the model though because of two reasons, mainly because i don't have an airbrush to paint the thing and secondly because i don't know how to do it in the first place. Hrm, i think i might borrow a camera to take pictures of this thing so i can show you guys what it actually looks like. Not that great though cause i don't have all the tools to built the model, so i had to make do with whatever i could find. Thanks to 'box' who taught me a more effective way of cutting the parts out as well as shaving of the rough edges of the model. Unfortunately though because of the methods and tools that i use, the end result quality is compromised. I'm starting to think if i should just go and buy all the necessary tools if i were to buy more models to fix up. But then again i'm probably never going to paint them because my hand shakes too much so i think it wouldn't look good if i were to paint it myself. Am i gonna buy a new model? Yeah if i can find the particular model that i want, so far i'm just looking for two more models one which i actually already have but Bandai decided to remake a new version of it. So this particular new version looks much more detailed then the one that i currently have. Besides that i kinda screwed up on the one that i have anyway, how??? Well i kinda broke a piece in half...don't ask. After all some of the parts are pretty flimsy, thin plastic and all that. Actually come to think of it i kinda fucked up the new one too, not too bad though, hrm....actually its not noticable at all, so its really not too bad. Hope i can save up enough money for the new models, hehehe....hrm, anyone wanna make any donations??? LOL, just kiddin.

I hate dust.

Ok just finished another phase of my room cleaning so once again dust is flying everywhere in my room, i stoped the moment i got the slightest hint of my allergy to dust kicked in. My to my horror when i got out of the room my dad was sweeping the hall and dust was flying everywhere outside as well, so in the end i wasn't able to avoid the irritation that dust causes to my oh so sensitive nose. Actually my nose has been acting up on me almost everyday lately, and today is the first day i cleaned my room in over a week so i really don't know what seems to be the problem. I'm kinda guessing that it is the weather, cold outside and hot to warm at home. So my theory is that the constant change in temperature is whats causing my nose to be acting weird. To further strengthen my theory usually when i wake up everything seems to be fine (only occasionally it'll just act weird for the hell of it) its mostly after i go out that it starts acting up. Anyway a friend of mine suggested that i go flush my nose because he thinks that i have a sinus problems, well that may be true....if it were like 15 years ago. I used to have sinus when i was very young but then i took this supplement that was recommended by a friend and after awhile my sinus was gone, of course i'm not gonna write it off completely by saying that i'm 100% cured from it, just that i don't get sinus attacks on a daily basis anymore. So therefore i think its a complete waste of money if i were to flush my nose. Besides flushing would not cure it entirely anyway. Oh well i'll just stick to my flu pills at least they also help me sleep so that way i get to kill two birds with one stone...yeah i know its bad to keep taking them pills, which i avoid as much as i can. As a matter of fact i only take them when its really bad, so bad that i practically can't do anything. Ok, i think its about time i try to clean some more since my the hall (where i sleep currently) is being cleaned...i mean my as well do something la since i can't actually go sleep right now anyway right??? hehehehe.

A past resurfacing.

Two friends that i hang out with just broke up with their respective partners recently, coincidentally it both happen roughly around the same time, and both relationships also lasted around 6 years. And like every aftermath of a break up they are obviously feeling very down and depressed. So in order to stop thinking about it they call up their other friends (like me) to go out and have a few drinks, hang out and chill. Which i willingly oblige since i have nothing much to do anyway. But when we go out they talk about their problem and ask for advice on how to deal with the situation that thier in. Well i'm not an expert and advice that i can offer are things that everyone knows of already so its really up to them. But the problem is because of the constant talking of this kind of stuff i slowly got drawn back into an old case of mine and now i'm not feeling too good as well...dammit. Don't get me wrong though i'm not blaming anybody here, just this feeling just plain sucks. But let me get one thing straight, my problem is like history already, and i've gotten over it and all that stuff already....just that right now i'm starting to miss her all over again. To make matters worst, because my WoW account has been frozen i can't exactly occupy myself by playing games or anything so all this idle time that i have is really effecting me bit by bit. Fortunately i just got a whole lot of anime from a friend just yesterday, so i guess now i can keep myself occupied....i hope this thing don't last too long though, better yet i hope this feeling don't drag me into that bottomless pit that i was stuck in earlier this year again.

Doing nothing much

Hrm, looks like i missed two days of posting. Oh well, you see recently i've been going out the whole day and sleeping for the other half of the day. So everytime i get back i'm already too tired, and by the time i wake up its time to go out and eat. Hrm, come to think of it i don't even wake up myself, as a matter of fact people have to wake me up (which most of the time is around dinner time). Yeah yeah i know i know, i've been pigging around lately...but what to do? i don't really have that much to do anyways so if i do wake up normally i'd be bored out of my skull and probably just go back to sleep anyways. But not to worry i don't have any boring WoW stories to entertain you with as well since i haven't been playing for about a month now. I think i'll put WoW on hold of a while i have to settle some stuff first before i can actually start playing again, don't really wanna waste the monthly access fees when i'm not playing after all. So right now all i do for entertainment is watch movies and anime, and i'm talking about really really old movies. Stuff so ancient that it was probably shown on TV for a couple of hundred times already. Hrm, come to think of it i have been doing that for almost a month, to be more precise i've been doing that since my telephone line got fucked. Well at least now i have the internet to kill some time, so i can just add that to my list of things to do to keep myself entertained. But seriously there is only so much you can do on the net. I think i should start reading up again on technology at least i'd know what are the new market trends in terms of PC hardware la anyway. Hrm, yeah that sounds like a good idea, at least i'd also know what to get if i ever wanted to get an upgrade.

Sundays

Is it just me or is it really hot today? I think its really funny how sunday always seems to be the hottest day. Maybe its because its 'Sun'-day, but yeah for some reason i always find that sundays seem to be the hottest day of the week, now why is that? Guess this falls into one of those unable to explain kinda things huh? Oh well....anyways, my WoW account is dead right now need to reload it to be able to play again. But every since i got my line working the connection has been pretty slow, surfing takes forever, downloading speed varies depending on where i'm getting the file from and playing WoW is just....well simply unplayable. And trust me i already tried, i thought i was used to playing the game with lag, but this lag is really bad...its so bad that i can't do anything, i'd practically login only to get dropped by the server due to time out. So i think i'll just reload the account after i figure out why the fuck is my line lagging so badly. You know what really sucks about the internet line in malaysia??? Its the fact that different IP's have different effects on things you do on the internet. Take WoW for instance, to play the game comfortably a person in malaysia should connect to the internet with the IP that starts with 218. And i for one can never get that god forsaken IP for some unknown reason, and to prove it i've actually tried for like 3 hours just disconnecting and reconnecting for the sake of getting myself a nice IP to enjoy my game, but in the end even after all that time i couldn't even get it. The only time i managed to get a 218 IP is during the afternoon, say sometime during lunch hour. But lately i haven't been able to wake up at those hour so i can't seem to get it then. Oh well better get that fixed huh??? Damn i hope it rains later tonight, at least it would cool down the damn weather, but then again if it does rain it would be really humid which sucks....oh gawd i just can't decide, hahaha.

What i've been up to

Ok everything seems to be in order now, phew...took me practically the whole day just to adjust my downloads and stuff. Now all thats left is to clear some space, speaking of which i have been using my laptop so much that this thing is already running out of space. Hrm, think i'll do the burning either later today or tomorrow. I'm also expecting to resume my WoW tomorrow, by the looks of things i think everything is going according to plan so no worries there. I actually tried to play WoW yesterday without turning off my downloads and damn was it laggy, on a lucky day i'll usually get a ping of about 1000 but yesterday was like 5000 so i was constantly getting dropped by the server...with that said i think i'll just wait till most of the important stuff has been completed before i start doing anything else like playing WoW. Fortunately surfing and blogging requires very little bandwidth so its all good.

Seeing how that today is Saturday i think i better make an effort to go out and have some fun, well after all i think i better make the most of my holidays as much as i can before i start to get serious with my priorities. Of course theres the issue of cleaning my room, i've been clearing stuff in phases recently. With all the dust laying everywhere i think that that would be the best solution, my plan is to clear as much stuff as i can until my nose gives in to the dust flying around. Yeah i got a pretty sensitive nose actually, so staying in my room for extended periods would cause my nose to run like a leaking pipe...and let me assure you that its not exactly very comfortable when that happens. As a matter of fact when that shit does happen, i feel like i wanna just chop of my nose and replace it or something...Hrm, whacko jacko syndrome...hahahaha. But i haven't got around to the next phase in awhile already, and i think my dad isn't very happy about it...yeah i think i should do that before i go to sleep later today, at least get some work done before i start playing WoW again right. Its kinda funny though my room is actually getting cleaner but my hall is getting messier, lol....why leh, cause i've been spending so much time in the hall that i've brought out so much stuff from my room to the hall, sheesh, its like relocating my rubish from one place to another. Oh well looks like i have to clean this place up to, sigh....work work.

I'm Back

Hello everyone i is back...hrm, so how long has it been since i've been gone i can't even remember when was the last time i actually had a decent amount of time to blog. So like i've mentioned before i haven't been able to blog because my line was down, and i don't really like bringing my laptop everywhere i go so that i could blog. Occasionally i drop by some friends house to do some stuff and if i have time then i'd drop in a line or two, that would explain the on and off posts. Anyway initially i thought that my telephone line had been cut off completely, but after the Hari Raya celebrations my line was suppose to get reconnected, however it didn't really get connected although them people at telekom said that the line was ok. So they then had to send a technician over, which he got lost on the first day (the fella actually went to the wrong house) and therefore causing further delay. Finally he came yesterday, so now everything is all good again. The problem wasn't anything about paying bills and stuff like that, apparently due to the recent thunderstorms my telephone cable which runs from outside to the house phone socket got fried. So new cables have been put into place and hopefully it doesn't get fried again anytime soon.

Ok anyway, Today is my sister's birthday!!! Happy birthday che!!! hehehe....Although i don't think she visits my blog, but thought i'd do a shout out anyway. Its kinda funny how my line got back up just in time for me to send her an email. Well the past few weeks without access to the internet has been pretty much boring. Since i have so much free time right now living without an internet connection can be quite hellish, afterall my daily activities consists of everything that revolves around the damn internet anyway...Like WoW. So yeah i haven't played WoW for a good 3 weeks, and to be honest thats just complete waste of money considering i still have to pay for the monthly access fees and not being able to play...wah that really sucks. I haven't done any of my downloads recently and so that first thing i did was check up on my torrents and reprioritizing them downloads, wah i took me almost 4 hours just to get everything in check and up and running again. Looks like i won't be able to play WoW that much until i clear a significant amount of downloads which are currently eating the whole chunk of my bandwidth. Well anyway i'd like to say sorry for the visitors that have come to my blog over the pass few weeks only to see that there isn't anything new, as i have mentioned before the line was fucked and so i can't come online, well now that that has been resolved rest assured that you can see me posting on a daily basis again. As a matter of fact i think i'll blog over the weekend too just to make up for lost time.
