:: The engine has started ::

Went over to an invite only opening ceremony for Streetfest 2010, Younity. Such a honour to be invited and seeing the whole ceremony, it made me realize that I'm part of something big and meaningful to the art scene. The whole month of June will be busy and after the ceremony today, i just realize that the engine has started. Can't wait to be on stage. Plus, our ugly faces appeared in the booklet. Since it is the size of a 20cent coin, to some we've made it. Since i have topped what you did in your whole music career, now you have to top what i did. Putting jackasses aside, I hope people would come to see us and i can bloody promise people there i'll wear my heart on my sleeves and make you understand me more by hearing what i have to say in my songs. A new guitar? A new sound? Some new clothes? Nah, i'm not that big of a rockstar. But yeah, this Streetfest will freaking kick ass!

:: The Post Office Job Interview ::

A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him "Are you allergic to anything?"
He says "Yes, just caffeine."
"Have you ever been in the service?" the interviewer asks.
"Yes," he says, "I was in Iraq for two years."
The interviewer says, "That will give you 5 extra points toward employment here.” and then asks, "Are you disabled in any way?"
The guy says, "Yes... an IED exploded near me and blew my testicles clean off."
The interviewer tells the guy "O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now.
Normal hours are from 8am to 4pm. You can start tomorrow at 10am, and plan on starting at 10am every day. Don't worry, we'll still pay you from 8am."
The guy is puzzled and says, "If the hours are from 8am to 4pm, why don't you want me to be here before 10am?"
"This is a government job," the interviewer says.
"For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that."

:: The Art of Eating Ketchup ::

Imagine this. You are at your favourite fastfood restaurant. You ordered yourself a nice burger. You sit down. Arrange your food. Take the ketchup packets. Rip them open on one side. You unwrapped those paper wrappers and proceed to remove the top bun, exposing the meat. YOu take the ketchup packet and squeeze all the content out to the center of the burger. Than, you take the top half bread part and just squesh it back to place.

Does this sound like you? Are you eating burgers this way? If you are.... YOU ARE NOT EATING IT THE RIGHT WAY!

Let Crainte la baise face teach you the PROPER way to eat your burger with ketchup (can apply with packets of chili sauce too)!

Why is it wrong?

It is wrong because when you do that, all the sauce will be concentrated only on the center, leaving the center as sour as hell (spicy if its chili sauce) and the outer layer parts bland. By doing so, you are also making the center part mushy. Who likes mushy burgers man!

If its wrong, what do i do to make it right?

Well, two left turns don't make a right. Right? Introducing, "THE ART OF EATING KETCHUP"!!! (manual for NOT MAKING AN ASS OF YOURSELF WHILE EATING BURGER comes exclusively for first 5 people who yells "GODZILLA" in the girls toilet)

The Art of Eating Ketchup

The Art of Eating Ketchup was created by a group of scientist looking to solve this big mystery. Many ways were created and tested but to no avail. One day, a scientist name Dr. Wersmypundik was about to eat a burger when his phone rang. It was an important call and he needed to write down a memo but has no pen or paper within his reach. Seeing the exposed burger and the opened ketchup packet, he took the ketchup packet and wrote the message on the beef patty. After hanging up, he took a pen and paper and wrote what was on the patty down on the paper. He covered the burger and proceed to eat it. He realized that the ketchup was spread even! Leaving no mushy center or the concentrated sour taste at the center! He realized that by writing a message onto the patty, he is spreading the sauce evenly throughout the patty!

Why should i follow The Art of Eating Ketchup?

Why not?

Well, The Art of Eating Ketchup is not only for burgers, you can eat it with fries or chickens! Have fun, write love messages or messages of hope and peace. Below is an example i did a few days back.

















(Note, the message is not to anyone in particular. It was done out of fun and boredom. If you think it is a message to you, please sit down and consider what wrong you have done to me to make you think that I would write that message down just for you and you only.)

So what are you waiting for!? Enjoy the Art of Eating Ketchup now!

*Author holds no responsibility or is liable for actions that user may suffer from if someone sitting around your area sees the message written. Author is also not responsible if sauces are stale. No backspace or undo is possible after writing the message on the patty. Blankco is not recommended due to poisonous substance found in it.

:: The Hotel Bill ::

The Hotel Bill

Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you might want to consider
this...

Husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston. After
almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and
they decide to stop for a rest.

They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for
four hours and then get back on the road.

When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for
$350.00.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high.

He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't
worth $350.00!

When the clerk tells him $350.00 is the standard rate, the man insists on
speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the hotel
has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available
for the husband and wife to use.

'But we didn't use them,' the man complains.

'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager.

He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which
the hotel is famous.

'The best entertainers from New York , Hollywood and Las Vegas perform
here,' the Manager says.
'But we didn't go to any of those shows,' complains the man again.

'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentions, the man replies, 'But we
didn't use it!'

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay.
He writes a check and gives it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. 'But sir,' he says,
this check is only made out for $50.00.'

'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with
my wife.'

'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.
'Well, too bad,' the man replies. 'She was here and you could have.'

:: 19 Frets with Wan Oligarchy ::

:: My Birthday present ::

A few weeks back my beloved 19frets bought for me a present for my birthday. It's something that naughty monstrous child in me had always wanted and i really appreciate it. Now i can get my book collection rolling!

:: Cronicles of Affairs ::

The 1st Affair

A married man was having an affair with his secretary.

One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon.

Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM.

The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt.

He put on his shoes and drove home.

'Where have you been?' his wife demanded.

'I can't lie to you,' he replied,

'I'm having an affair with my secretary.

We had sex all afternoon.'

She looked down at his shoes and said:

'You lying bastard!

You've been playing golf!'

The 2nd Affair

A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters but always talked about having a son.

They decided to try one last time for the son they always wanted.

The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.

The joyful father rushed to the nursery to see his new son.

He was horrified at the ugliest child he had ever seen.

He told his wife: 'There's no way I can be the father of this baby.

Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered!

Have you been fooling around behind my back?'

The wife smiled sweetly and replied:

'No, not this time!'

The 3rd Affair

A mortician was working late one night.

He examined the body of Mr. Schwartz, about to be cremated,

and made a startling discovery.

Schwartz had the largest private part he had ever seen!

'I'm sorry Mr. Schwartz,' the mortician commented, 'I can't allow you to be cremated with such an impressive private part.

It must be saved for posterity.'

So, he removed it, stuffed it into his briefcase, and took it home.

'I have something to show you won't believe,' he said to his wife, opening his briefcase.

'My God!' the wife exclaimed, 'Schwartz is dead!'

The 4th Affair

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.

'Hurry,' she said, 'stand in the corner.'

She rubbed baby oil all over him, and then dusted him with talcum powder.

'Don't move until I tell you,' she said. 'Pretend you're a statue.'

'What's this?' the husband inquired as he entered the room.

‘Oh it’s a statue,' she replied.

'The Smiths bought one and I liked it so I got one for us, too.'

No more was said, not even when they went to bed.

Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer.

'Here,' he said to the statue, have this.

I stood like that for two days at the Smiths and nobody offered me a damned thing.'

The 5th Affair

A man walked into a cafe, went to the bar and ordered a beer.

'Certainly, Sir, that'll be one cent.'

'One Cent?' the man exclaimed.

He glanced at the menu and asked:

'How much for a nice juicy steak and a bottle of wine?'

'A nickel,' the barman replied.

'A nickel?' exclaimed the man.

'Where's the guy who owns this place?'

The bartender replied:

'Upstairs, with my wife.'

The man asked: 'What's he doing upstairs with your wife?'

The bartender replied:

'The same thing I'm doing to his business down here.'

The 6th & Best Affair

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.

He looked up and said weakly:

'I have something I must confess.'

'There's no need to, 'his wife replied.

'No,' he insisted, 'I want to die in peace.

I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!'

'I know,' she replied. 'Now just rest and let the poison work.'

:: Mothers Affair ::

'Hello?'

'Hi, honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?'
'No Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'

***Brief Pause***

Daddy says, 'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'
'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.'

***Brief Pause.***

'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the table,
run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy's
car just pulled into the driveway.'

'Okay Daddy, just a minute.'
A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.

'I did it Daddy'
And what happened honey?'

'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around
screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she
isn't moving at all!'

'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?'

'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and he jumped
out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't know that
you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think
he's dead.'

***Long Pause***

***Longer Pause***

***Even Longer Pause***

Then Daddy says, 'Swimming pool ?? We dont have a swimming pool !!

Ah, is this 486-5731??'

No, this is 486-5713.... .

:: Italian Pregnancy ::

An 18-year-old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for
2 months.
Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The
test result shows that the girl is pregnant.
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, 'who was the pig that did this
to you? I want to know!'
The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari
stops in front of their house.
A mature and distinguished man with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an
Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house.
He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells
them: 'Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge.
I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life.

Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account.

If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.

However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?'

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on
the man's shoulder and tells him,

'You try again.'

:: Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch? ::

:: Here are some facts about the1500s ::

* Most people got married in June because they took their yearly
bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were
starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

* Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the
house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty, you could actually lose someone in it.

Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

* Houses had thatched roofs - thick straw - piled high, with no
wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained, it became slippery, and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.

Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."

* There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection.

That's how canopy beds came into existence.

* The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than
dirt.

Hence the saying "dirt poor."

* The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the
winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they adding more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway.

Hence the saying a "thresh hold."
(Getting quite an education, aren't we?)

* In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle
that always hung over the fire. Every day, they lit the fire and
dropped things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight, and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.

Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

* Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.
It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around
and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom
Of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or
"upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.

Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

* England is old and small and the local folks started running out
of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside, and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring!

10. Send e-mail back and forth to yourself engaging yourself in an intellectual debate. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement.
11. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has withdrawn from caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.
12. Put your trash can on your desk. Label it "IN."
13. Feign an unnatural and hysterical fear of staplers.
14. Send e-mail messages saying there's free pizza or donuts or cake in the lunchroom. When people drift back to work complaining that they found none, lean back, pat your stomach and say, "Oh you've got to be faster than that."
15. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair-dancing.

:: Chain mail ::

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 2009 and continuing it in 2010 also.......
Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.

* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

* Forwarded hundreds of mails but still waiting for FREE DESKTOP, LAPTOP, CAMERA, CELLPHONE etc…..

* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer...

* I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.

* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill with calls to Uganda, Pakistan, Singapore and Tokyo...

* I also stopped drinking anything out of a Can for fear that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine.

* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account.. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times..... (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)

* Still open to help somebody from Nigeria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle's property of $ 100 million. So much trustworthy.

* I have forwarded 35 emails to 400 people hoping that Ericsson or Nokia will send me latest mobile phones but those models are also obsolete now.

* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh , Tirupathi Balaji pics etc. Now most of those 'Wishes' are already married (to someone else)

NOW IMPORTANT NOTE :

If you do not send this e-mail to at least 11,246 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will Pee on your head today at 7:30pm.

Nothing has happened till now........................ but who knows. So please forward.

:: Bad advice from me ::

Once, this Chinese friend of mine wanted to date a Malay girl in my class. He asked her, and she said yes. We know what sort of a guy this friend of mine is and we understood his intentions when he goes about bragging to us about the date.

He came to me one day and asked me, "How do i say you look lovely tonight?" in Malay. I told him, with a convincing look, "You punye tetek nampak besar malam ni." He smiled and took 15 mins trying to master that sentence with me correcting him everytime he said it wrong. Finally, the day came and they went out. I was at home when my phone rang. It was him. He said, "Dude, just to double check. Its.... you punye tetek besar malam ni. Right?" I told him "Wrong its, 'You punye tetek nampak besar malam ni'". "Oh ok....thanks man...wah tonight sure can get her in the sack!". He said his thanks and put down the phone.

A few days later, he met me and i asked him how the date went. He told me his date slapped him hard and left him then and there, covered with popcorns and his drink spilled all over the floor. His last words to me was, "Maybe i said it wrongly....I never knew that the Malay language is like the Chinese language. Say it wrong, and it means something else." We parted ways after that and i never hear from him again.

By the way. "You punye tetek nampak besar malam ni" means "Your boobs are big tonight". And yes, i did that deliberately coz that girl he wanted is my best friend.

:: Pickup line gone wrong ::

Bad Pickup lines

- "I saw you from afar and u look so amazing. I can't keep my eyes off you to the point i stepped on dog shit"

- "Would you want to eat dinner with me? Kinda my last meal before i jump"

-"Hi, I'm Wan and i am an insurance agent" - This always drive the women away

- "Wanna go out with me for dinner? I swear i'll twit about it"

- "Hi, do you know. If we go out and eat together and we go dutch, technically we are not on a date"

- "Hi, i know this sounds weird but the moment i saw u, i know im going to want to eat u"

- "Wanna have dinner? Yes? Ok? Let me cancel on my date first"

- "If you dont want to eat with me than why not i eat, and u watch"

- "Hi wanna have dinner with me? I'm good at making people laugh. 4 of my dates choked while eating with me so far"

I'm guessing thats it for now. Actually the line i used to get Nura is a line from blink 182 song. Damn, how i got her is beyond my understanding.

:: You are the chosen one ::

Jerry is a middle age man. Unmarried, unemployed and poor. One fine night, he went over to Bedok Reservoir to ponder on his miserable life.

"Why has my life always been like this" he asked himself.

Suddenly, the dark skies of Bedok Reservoir lighted up and the clouds parted ways. A bright light descended from the skies onto the reservoir. Shielding himself with one hand, Jerry squinted his eyes and to his amazement, he sees a man descending from the clouds.

That mysterious man hovered on the waters of the reservoir and look at Jerry with eyes so calm. Jerry thought to himself, "Is this man god?"

The man came closer to Jerry and said, "Jerry my son, I am god."

Jerry, with eyes so wide open could only stutter "G-g-g-god?"

"Yes my son. I am god. I am here to tell you that you are the choosen one"

Upon completing that line, the area around Jerry lighted up and the wind blew hard as though it was applauding Jerry.

Jerry looked at the man and said.....

"Oh shit!"

:: Clap Part 2 ::

Taken before everything was confirm. Look at his face man

:: My life is cheeeebye ::

When you have a 'I Hate My Job day'
(Even if you're retired, you sometimes have those days)
Try this out:

Stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson.

Be very sure you get this brand.

When you get home, lock your doors,

Draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer.

Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins.

Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully.

You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

”Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized."

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,

' I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson.'

:: Close up to the fret before the 20th ::

It takes on average, about 2 years before a 2nd album is released.

With $3,375 a year, i could make the Forbes 500 list, coming in at number 500, with 499 bangladeshi employees above me.

So please support your local english "rock stars".

:: Weekly Resolutions Completed ::

The whole week, i've pissed and confuse people off by using the word "Broom" as a bad word. And another of my weekly resolution is to clean up my room. So here is the result of my clean room.

:: Prank chronicles (Part 1 that starts it all) ::

Pranks can be done almost anywhere with anything. All you need is a creative mind. Remember, pranks are made to make people laugh with you. The moment it gets out of hand, than its no longer a prank.

Heres the details of the prank.

Victim : Rika
Partner in crime : Lash
People not to let see me doing it : Grace (Paoto kiak!)

The prank : Tea bags leftover cabinet surprise.

What will happen is, i will take those paper thingy from used tea bags, fill up a box full with it and pour it into Rika's cabinet. Yes....pour the whole thing inside. This will take a few weeks to accomplish because there's only so much tea i can drink. It doesnt help that Lash, the tea king, is at work only on Wednesday and Friday.


A picture to show the progress of it

:: 2009 in a nutshell ::

To tell everyone the truth, 2009 is literally a rollercoaster. From the good to the bad and even moments where it reached the extremes on both side. Relationship was a bitch to go thru although upon reaching the end of the dark tunnel, the fresh air and sunlight was fantastic. If i had to do it again, i will do the exact same thing. Friends were lost which is good in someways. Makes those that stayed behind more meaningful. In the words of bob, "Friends fight and bitch about each other backs, but what matters is at the end of the day, when you're looking at each other, you can love and laugh with that person." Seriously, to those who stayed behind with me thru my broken ankles and all those really fucked up things, thank you. And to all those who have decided that life without me in it would be for the best, lets just keep it that way.

:: Reason for the long long long silence ::

Close to 3 weeks ago i got into a freak accident which leaves me with a broken ankle. Has been out on MC ever since. Life is boring and scheduled. I dont know if anyone remembers about a list i made during the start of this year and with immobility it seems i cant finish it. Dammit. Well, expect a rerun of that list and possibly a new list coming up. 4 more days before my next appointment and hopefully, i am able to move around after that. Watching Growing up is really helphing me pass time more than i realise.

:: Seriously? ::

Seriously...how the hell it was ever recorded let alone with a music video i'll never know

:: Argument on food ::

Met up with Ash(raf) and had a discussion on which is the best burger in town while enjoying Arnolds chicken. My top 5 would be

1. Double Mcspicy
2. Botak Jones You Crazy or what
3. Filet O Fish
4. Subway Meatball Sandwich (Shut up, 2 breads with meat in between = Burger)
5. Big Mac

As you can see no Burger King burgers are on my list. Also, found out from Ash that Burger King is called Hungry Jack in Australia. Weird.
