The Metrosexual

Hello again guys, as some of you may know, I’ve been alone in my apartment for the past week. Besides attempting to study and watching movies on my laptop, I have come up with the top 10 things I did during the whole 7 days. May it be a guide to those who are too stupid to go back home during the holidays when they actually can.

1)Downloading explicit material from the Internet

2)Reading up profiles of professional wrestlers who no longer appears on WWE shows

3)Perfecting the DX crotch chop (view pictures)

4)Trying various expressions of the Art of Flipping Off the Finger (view pictures)  

                                                                                                                                 5) Randomly adding hot looking girls on my Friendster even though I don’t know them personally    (check this one out http://www.friendster.com/27959339)

6) Performing 50 push ups nonstop (I only got to 32 before collapsing)

7) Taking endless pictures of myself (due to the nature of the photos I have 
taken the liberty of not publishing them on Friendster due to the mature contents, plus it should be on Playgirl anyway)

Attempting to mate a lizard I captured with a cockroach in order to breed a super species of pests that I will train to be my eternal servents for world domination

9) Wondering who in my batch could possibly be gay … all eyes on our favorite Streptococcus

10)Making and completing of the Top 10 most Hottest Girls (single and taken) in M205 which shall  never ever be revealed (with the exception to the Band of Brothers because I love each and everyone of you ….. in a non-gay way, more like the way Elnis der Mar loves Jack Twist errr… you get the picture)

I seriously think that this step in attempting to "preserve"
our national language is utterly unnecessary. Bahasa Malaysia is a wonderful language no doubt, but it is a relatively young language which
still borrows certain terms from English. The ministry should not spend our
limited funds by hiring "officers" to ensure that our national
language is not being misused. Furthermore changing well known names such as
Boulevard to Lebuh Perdana for the sake of Bahasa Malaysia
is a rather for lack of a better word stupid.

If one were to really improve on
our National Language, we need to start from the beginning. Through education
the government and DBP can form a strong foundation in today’s youth in Bahasa Malaysia.

The key to it is to make learning the language fun, only then would they have
interest in it. Having some traditional Malay folk stories such as Pak Pandir
and legends such as the adventures of Hang Tuah and his friends would surely
help cultivate a life long interest in the Malay language.

Next would be on the
quality rather than the quantity of shows shown on national television using Bahasa Malaysia. Most of
the programmes shown are local soap operas of very unrealistic characters and
scenarios that are unheard of in Malaysia.

The reason why most Penangites or Kuchingites who are mostly Hokkien-speaking
can catch Cantonese is due to the Cantonese soap operas shown on TV. By applying
this method, indirectly television can be used as a tool to help improve our
Bahasa Malaysia. The only thing now is that we lack good story lines, dialogues
and a decent set of actors and actresses.

In my humble opinion, Datuk Seri Rais
Yatim isn’t doing our National Language any favors by advising or fining those
individuals who do not use the language properly. We all can’t be grammatically
correct all the time cannot we? (Note the example). Instead he is driving a
wedge between the people and the language itself. A mixture between English and
Malay, Hokkien and Malay, Tamil and Malay, Iban and Malay, Kadazan and Malay
languages is inevitable. It is sometimes used not only for communication
purposes but also for business (i.e. the presentation of products on signboards) If the good
Datuk were to fine these entrepreneurs how is this going to help the growth of
our country? The common folk whose command of the language is substandard at
best would be further estranged by it.

What the good Datuk should do is to
reward those businessmen or individuals who portray Bahasa Malaysia CORRECTLY. Trust
me if he were to do this our National Language would be strengthened. It is
much better to win others by love rather by force in a delicate matter such as
this.

P.S the author is currently very bored and has plenty of time on his hands and is sick of surfing through the naughty sites.

Gone are the days where the Church openly persecutes men and
women of science by burning them on stakes and declaring the heretics. However,
the clergy has brought this battle between Science and Religion into the
boardroom, the courts of justice and yes, even the classrooms.

 This so-called war has been going about since God knows when
and both sides have a lot to say about countless of issues. Some seem trivial
like whether or not the use of caffeine will endanger your immortal soul to the
tearing claws of Hell’s demons, others involves matters of life and death such
as stem cell research.

 
However to avoid getting bombarded from both sides I have
picked a particular topic that is rather idiotic to say the least. I would like
to have a say about this new thing called Creationism.

 
When it comes to the origin of where life comes from and how
ugly monkeys called homo sapiens came about, 10% of the world believes
that we are created by a divine being which most of us define as God, 15% of us
believe in a theory sprouted up by a biologist/ecologist named Charles Darwin (
though recent research showed that Darwin’s work isn’t exactly his own work )
and the rest of us couldn’t give a rat’s ass where we come from because we have
too much crap to deal with right now. Ok maybe I lied about the statistics but
you get the point.

 
In 2004 President Bush made it compulsory for Intelligent
Design (Creationism to you and me) to be thought side by side with Evolution so
that they may “understand both sides of the story”. Now Creationism is rather
tedious to explain so I’ll simplify matters by cutting to the chase so that you can relate to my argument. It
basically says dinosaurs and men lived side by side until the big flood came
and Noah had to save a pair of each animal as written in the Old Testament.

 Laugh if you must but there are literally a few hundred
thousands I dare say believes this is true and that number is growing day by
day. Carbon testing shows that the bones from the last age of the dinosaurs the
Cretaceous Period dates back to at least 65 million years ago.

Anyone who knows American history would also know that the U.S.A was founded by men of Enlightenment. Men who are by the very nature curious about the secular world and wishes to examine everything and anything under the sun. Benjamin Franklin is an excellent example of one of those men.

In the New World they were relatively free from the religious persecution from both the Protestant and Catholic Church. They were free to discover more about science. Some like Lewis and Clark were funded by President Thomas Jefferson for an overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back. They were to label and categorise as many animals and plants along the way. Even the manliest of presidents, President Theodore Roosevelt took a keen interest in classifying birds (though he shot them first before actually doing it).

Now the question is, how did this great country go from being one that encourages research and discovery of new scientific advancement to a country that encourages the little ones to think that some time ago their ancestors rode on a cute baby triceratops to go to work?

You see Christians in general have a certain belief, I quote this from Esquire, in Christianity, the uneducated is prefered to educated. We would rather believe in something that cannot be explained using logic and common sense rather than cold hard evidence.

President Bush was pressured by the Christian fundalmentalist who were afraid that the country was getting too secular. Instead of coming up with a proper way to explain the true meaning of Christianity, they chose a pathway which they think can relate to the young (hence the uneducated) and the young can help spread the enthusiasm to their parents and the vicious cycle continues. Those fundalmentalist are afraid that the book of Genesis would hold no weight against the countless of research done by paleontologists throughout the ages. What makes me sick is the fact that they think that they can bundle up Creationism into some lab coat and call it Intelligent Design and assume it will make a difference. Frankly speaking, it does.

This is history repeating itself. 500 years ago during the time of Galileo Galilei (February 15,1564 till January 8 1642) the Catholic Church held him under house arrest and nearly excommunicated him and declaring him a heretic. The reason? He said that the Earth travels around the Sun (heliocentric) instead of the other way around which was defended by the Church because they think that the Earth is the centre of the universe and everything else orbits around it. Wow how far have we gone since then.

I am not a perfect example of a Christian. I have my faults and learning every single day how to overcome them. But however I do believe that being a Christian means that you believe in God and you believe in Christ. When you believe in something or anything in that matter, you know that the best is expected from you. The Good Lord gave us a mind to use, so let us use it in a productive way. As Christians we should explore our own faith, push its boundaries to its very limits and listening to what other Christians regardless of denomination before telling someone off because he or she questions about our religion. We must not take everything from the Bible literally because basically the Bible is written by Men and though the message from above may be crystal clear, the effector may not function as efficient enough. To put in simpler terms, don’t follow blindly.

I am proud to be a Christian and proud that the fact that many scientific advances has been done by men of religion. However, regardless of what moral and intergrity is to any of you, scientific discoveries in any field should only be used for the benefit of mankind and not its destruction.

Each of us was put in this world for a particular reason. Some of us are lucky enough to find out our purpose here on Earth and will work long and hard to see it accomplished. Yet there are some who are still in limbo when it comes to deciding what is going on and what to do with their lives.

Although I have found what I want to do with my life, at times I feel like I don’t have a clue what is going on and why certain events occur. I don’t think that I’m the only one having these thoughts running through my mind. I’m pretty damn sure that you do too.

Sometimes I see the need of planning and order when it comes to certain important and delicate matters. Other times I couldn’t really care about planning and throw all caution to the wind and be surprised by the outcome (and paid for it for more than one occasion let me assure you).

Like I said, I agree that in certain situations, planning and logic is essential. Then again I read this book written by Malcolm Gladwell entitled “Blink”. This book is about making snap decisions and the reasoning behind it. In this book, he said that sometimes too much information can do more harm than good. It may be planning to buy a piece of clothing or hiring a person for an important position in your company to even winning a war.

So I was wondering whether I could apply this knowledge from this book into my everyday life. I am fully aware that in my particular choice of a career, snap decisions can get you fired, even arrested for patient negligence. But believe it or not, snap decisions do apply even to medicine. Google up Goldman’s Equation on the internet if you don’t believe me.

However we have to look at the negative side of making snap decisions. Warren Harding, became the President of the

United States

in the fall of 1920. Many of his supporters agreed that Harding would make a great president and due to that they unanimously put his name up for the presidential candidacy. The thing is that they thought he would be a ‘great-looking’ president. Here is a picture of him for you judge for yourselves.

Historians however think otherwise. Warren Harding after 2 years as the President of the United States before dying of stroke, was regarded as the worst president in American history which now is rivaled by the current one (in my humble opinion).

There were a lot of mistakes where I wished I could turn back the hands of time and make it right again. Most of these things involved me acting too soon or too late. I believe that a Higher Power has placed me and everyone else here for some particular purpose to fulfill. At times we may feel that we get thrown off track due to some stupid decisions we made either by thinking too long before acting or not making them snappy enough. I believe that to make the right decisions, one must hear the point of views from the experts and layman but trust in one’s instinct when making the final decision.

You know, there was a time when I felt like I could do just about anything I want. It was as if I had something inside of me that fueled me to do things that are at times, rather unethical and unjust. It took away my conscience and my sense of morality (if there ever was one). It made me say and did things I regretted.

With a clear mind and roughly three cups of extra strong coffee, I can know see the reason why I acted this way.

I was fueled by anger.

Anger is an emotion which can be both beneficial or catastrophic. In my case it was more of the latter.

The reason why I was so angry, well that’s another story to tell for another time. The story that I am about to tell is how anger helped me and at the same time took quite a lot from me both emotionally and mentally.

In the beginning, anger helped me zone out all other emotions and sense of helplessness when I felt it at its worst not too long ago. Some how I feel that somewhere down the line, I may need to call upon it again when the time comes.

Anyway, as I let my anger run its course unchecked, I realized that although it acted as a shield against the so-called ‘sappy emotions’ it also prevented me in experiencing many other things in life that are both wonderful and worthwhile.

Being angry took its toll on me. I was feeling tired day in and day out especially when I’m away from my family. I was driven by this force to get what I want no matter what the cost, and often to tell the truth, I seldom did achieve what I desired.

For two years of letting something so small cause so much anger is pretty stupid and it shows.

This so called ‘shield’ caused me to not exactly alienate myself from other people but rather to keep my distance from them. I was wary about everybody and everything. I was worried about people finding out my weaknesses. Because if they do find out, a lot of pain together with a lot of anger is involved and the whole vicious cycle begins again.

Lately when I hear myself talk, (boast if you will) about certain things like picking up chicks and stuff, I stop and thought to myself “What the hell am I saying?”. I don’t know nuts about maintaining a relationship.

All I know, is how to smile, compliment a girl on her dress/ear rings/ necklace/shoes/etc, ask how is she doing, hope she had a great day and if my game is on, charm her and make her laugh and my lame jokes.

Through observation if you will, I noticed that a relationship is based on a lot of communication and to build that bridge you need to have a lot of trust between the two.

How do I relate this to anger? Well anger like I said earlier on, acts as a shield against certain aspects. One of which is trust.

I no longer have the ability to fully trust another person, especially if it’s a girl I really like. Sure it may protect me, but in the long run I’m going to feel a whole lot of suffering.

Quite recently though, I felt that I have mellowed down a lot. I don’t tend to feel the pressure to make an impression on any girl I see. Hey its not like I’m getting gay or anything like that, I just don’t get the point. Like why should I care if a girl is interested in me or not? If they are, then good ( and might I say that they have rather good taste, hahaha ). If they don’t then so what? Is it the end of the world? Hell no!! There are other mountains to climb and feats of mythical proportions to fulfill.

So allow me to tell you what I’m going to do. I’m just going to be myself and act as a proper gentleman and treat a girl with both respect and courtesy. Maybe with some luck I may be a nicer person to everyone I meet and I perhaps actually be a good guy, impossible as it seems. Most importantly though, I will no longer let anger control my life. However, I will use it as a tool when the situation requires it. Finally, by golly if it takes years, then years it shall be, I will learn to trust a girl that I genuinely like (and not for her body and a pretty face mind you) and maybe start a real, honest-to-goodness relationship.

But till then I’m still single, and I have certain obligations to fulfill ….. if you detect the aroma of my culinary efforts. Haha

Till next time

P.S: If this strategy fails then there is always that mail order bride available on the 

        Internet.

Orientation

Hello guys, this is my first entry since I got back. It has been a while since my previous entry but I was kind of busy with the M106 orientation being an orientation officer for a group.

Some say orientation is redundant and a waste of time, I for one disagree with that. Sure it may be messy, tiring and not to mention a minute amount of bitterness involved, but it is also an opportunity for senior students to get acquainted with the new ones.

Most importantly it is for the juniors to get to know one another.

I for one had fun being an OO together with Sathya, Suren, Rahel and Prya. Together we were in charge of a group of great, sporting juniors which I know will turn up to be even better friends in the near future. Although we didn’t win orientation, we had a good time and hell we didn’t do that bad now did we?

After a long one-month holiday away from them and the rest of the guys makes me kind of miss my batch. There, I said it and it didn’t make me any gayer now does it? (Although I don’t think that is scientifically possible).

Though I still wish I could be home with my family and eat REAL food and drive my own car and have my own internet connection, reliving hell, err … orientation again with the new batch has been a great experience.

Plus I got to meet a few hot chicks! Haha

With a week to go before going back to study mode and getting out of slacker mode I decided to spend it wisely. Namely watching

South

Park

and House MD.

Till next time

You know, I have been thinking about a few changes lately. Its no secret that I have a weakness for pretty women as all red-blooded males do and lets face it I can turn on the ol’ Seb charm if I want a favour out from someone. In this Game of picking up chicks, I guess I’m doing pretty damn well, (yeah the ego is talking again)

Then, I saw something that changed my perspective a bit.

Yeah, Sarah Michelle Gellers cleavage … err … I mean Cruel Intentions.

This has to be one of the best movies of all time. Great plot with brilliant dialogue and a cast of talented actors performed the story splendidly. Plus the main character here is Sebastian.

Anyway back to the point. In this film, Sebastian played by Ryan Phillipe is the ULTIMATE PLAYER in the game. His conquests are legendary. His hot half-sister Catherine, played by Sarah Michelle Geller is the only woman he hasn’t slept with and she knows it. So they made a bet. If Sebby could seduce the pricipal’s daughter ( Reece Witherspoon ) then Seb gets Cat in bed. If he loses then Catherine gets his Porche. Along the way some minor subplots here and there. Seb falls in love with Witherspoon’s character and decides to change his ways.

Now what happens ….. hmmm…. just after he turned over a new leaf to be this one-woman-man BOOM!! He gets hit by a car and goes to Playa’ Heaven.

Should I mend my flirty ways and focus on one girl? Sigh give me a moment to think about it….
Ok that roughly was a moment and my answer is :

Yes, I really want to change my ways and be a mature person and get serious in a good, solid relationship with a nice, pretty girl I really like. Something like this guy in this pic.

If you believed that then you would believe that Chelsea would have a chance in the EPL if Roman Abramovich didn’t pump in his ill-gotten cash into a dying club.

And why should I? I enjoy being single and being able to dance with any girl I see on the dance floor.  And as sure as hell, I enjoy not having someone to answer to if I have a great-guys out with the boys. I’m young and maybe one day, one fateful day I’ll repent and see the errors of my ways and be a true one-woman-man. But right now I wanna live my life to the fullest and be a ladies-gentleman, like this dude below.

Yeah I know, I’m a few days late but I might as well share this with you guys.

Once a year on this special day,
Couples and friends express what they say,
To someone so special, someone so dear,
To lose them is something we fear,

Today I make a wish and hope it comes true,
This little wish does concern you,
There isn’t a day that goes by,
That I don’t realize how lucky am I,

To get to know such a wonderful girl,
That could make any guy the happiest in the world,
With a radiant smile,
Which makes everyday worth while,

With a beautiful pair of eyes,
That will bring about any man’s demise,
A wonderful body with a beautiful mind,
In other words you are simply divine,

Alas we are only good friends,
Let us hope it shall never end,
So go on out enjoy with your Valentine’s,
For I have already found mine.

"It is better to make love to same woman a thousand times than to make love with a thousand women"                                                                                                    - Anonymous

OK, I did some research on this before actually writing this entry and just for the record I neither condone cheating nor will I try to defend it. This entry is merely my view of it. I may get some heat from quite a few people especially from the XX community ( and maybe the gay ones too ).

Cheating. Ah what a crime, to abuse the trust of someone who worships the ground you walk on. Why do men cheat? Do they have something to prove by flirting (or sleeping) with every girl they see even though he has that special someone is thinking of him 24/7.

In my humble opinion (damn I love that intro) we have to look at this in a scientific approach. Around 250,000 thousand years ago, nasty little apes who we now refer to as homo sapiens came about. After the migration out of Africa, these apes started forming groups. These populations started to grow and some sort of social hierarchy, each individual is given certain tasks according to their physical attributes. The males being relatively larger, stronger and faster than the females started to hunt for wild animals, fish and collect whatever edible plants the forest had to offer depending on the geographical location and of course passing down his genes to his offspring. The females being smaller and had to rely on their minds rather than their body in order to survive had duties as well. They are more suited to giving birth, tending to their children and husband preparing the food and a little agriculture.

Lets fast forward to the present. Many a great nation has risen and fallen, countless of great events have come to past and the WWF has changed its name to WWE (sorry I just had to add it). We have come a long way from being those nasty apes that think they can control the weather by sacrificing small animals. Oh no my friends, now we have the Green House effect to finish the job once and for all.

Women and men’s roles in society have drastically changed since then. In developed and most developing countries, women are highly educated and hold high positions in various establishments. Somehow despite the hectic work load and a busy social life, most women find the time to settle down and have children, and to raise the them up to be the generation of the future. Due to major strides in the field of science, men’s role in reproduction is decreased. Single ladies who are not looking into a relationship or lesbians who would love to experience the joys of childbirth and raising one of the most precious gift available can go for artificial insemination. They only need to pick the kind of genes they wish their child to have and bada-bing-bada-boom, life.

Men on the other hand, does not have to hunt for food in most developed countries. But his most important task is to pass down his genetic information to his offspring to ensure that part of him lives on forever.

You could say that it is in his genes to cheat or his instincts in that matter. A shark swims, eats and makes baby sharks, instincts. Men want to sire a progeny of their massive numbers (fancy words to replace screwing around), instincts.

Sneer all you want but deep down in your guts, you know its true. Monogamy is totally against nature, seriously have you ever seen a male lion mating with one specific lioness? That dirty bastard mates with ALL the lionesses and that is after he murders all the cubs of his predecessor.

Back to point here, it doesn’t matter what you wanna call it, men of modern times have lost one important role in life and do you think for one solitary second that he wishes to loose the other one? The ratio of males to females is almost equal and by the look of things is going to decrease further.

Listen, I told you earlier that I won’t condone cheating in any form. A man, a ‘real man’ doesn’t prove his manhood by the number of girlfriends he has or the ‘countless’ women he sleeps with. He proves himself by treating all women regardless of how they look with respect. He proves his worth by controlling his urges when seeing a hot looking chick in a night club if he is in a relationship. A man can rightfully call himself so by trying his best to make a relationship work or if worst comes to worst try to be cordial even after the relationship ends depending on the situation. Lastly a true man must always cherish his relationship with his wife or girlfriend and protect her from harm. Remember, no matter how gender roles are reversed, one thing always remains the same. A woman is allowed to make mistakes but a man can afford none.

Happy Valentines Day!

Hey, hey!! Its no secret that I love sports entertainment. I have been a fan of it since I was twelve and no matter where I am, I always find the time to watch Raw on Astro. Laugh as much as you want but I’m not ashamed to admit my fondness for the WWE.

Sure it may seem kinda gay with these muscular, sculpted bodies in thights groping each in sometimes an inappropriate manner but hey it has its pros as well.

Professional wrestling is Men’s answer to soap drama with the addition of steel chairs and sledgehammers. It has drama and suspense told in a unique way. Each match that takes place in the squared circle tells a story. It may be planed prior to the match but nontheless it needs individuals with a certain amount of intelligence, charisma, athletism and a high degree of pain threshold to perfom these ’stunts’ night in and night out.

Somehow that alone is not enough to make wrestling the phenomenon it is today. Storylines that appeals to the male demographic too plays an important role in selling the product.

Some people view sports-entertainment as two steroid filled monkeys jumping up and down inside the ring in their leotards. But let me assure you its much more than that. The stuff they do in and out of the ring is simply amazing.
