It is 3.30am. Your stomach is growling seeking for your divine attention. What do you do?
1) Dress up.
2) Grab your Panasonic DMC-FZ3.
3) Drive to your favorite 24 hours mamak stall.
4) Feast like a beast.
Nothing beats a tasty plate of mee goreng mamak when you are starving.
Top it up with a cup of Nescafe kurang manis to wash it down and to help you stay awake for the next couple of hours. If that is not enough to fill you up, call another piece of roti canai kosong.
Now that the tank is full, it is time to continue working.
The torrent for Astro’s On Demand series for The Drive of Life is genuine. I finished downloading episode 49 and 50 yesterday. Last night was the 49th episode of the series. Right after the show ended, there was a strong push to watch the 50th episode immediately. I didn’t want to watch it at first but had to submit to the temptation.
There will be no spoilers here. That is if you haven’t already downloaded the video and watch it yourself. Anyway, what will I be doing tonight at 9.30pm when others are watching episode 50 when I have already watched it?
Say to the rest, “Tai jor loh!”
Now, will I continue downloading the following episodes of the movie? I have no idea. I just might.
It all started at Take That where there were four of them — Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange. Robbie Williams jumped on the bandwagon a while later. Take That was one of the hottest boy bands in town in the nineties. I remember they were banned from performing in Malaysia. I don’t know why though. They were too hot for Malaysia to handle maybe. *sigh*
Anyway, I stumbled upon the video below featuring an interview with Gary Barlow in 1997. I was shocked at how firm fit he was. He used to be a lot “chubbier” when he was still in Take That. Hmmm…this brings back some memories in the past.
After reading some of the responses in the previous post, I realize that there are some misunderstandings. So I better clear things up before it gets out of hand. Firstly, I knew making fun of others is like playing with fire. You get burnt if you are not careful. Occasionally, we make fun of others in one way or another. As I said, it is normal as long as we do not go overboard with it. In this case, I hope I have not.
ShaolinTiger expressed his unhappiness (in the comment) over people who make fun of other’s linguistic shortcomings. I totally agree with that and that we should never make fun of others in this area. I have close friends who may not speak the best English in the world. Therefore I have learned to respect this “rule”.
I do not believe that I was making fun of the cyber cafe owner’s English mistake (ie. chating instead of chatting). I was merely pointing out a spelling mistake. If I am not mistaken, there is a section in one of the local newspapers named “b00b watch” (or something like that) that does the same thing. It displays photos of signs/banners with spelling mistakes and corrects them.
This brings me to another point. There is a difference between laughing at a spelling mistake written on a banner/signboard/window etc and laughing at a person speaking broken English. The former could be due to genuine human error. Meanwhile, the latter is plain evil. In this case, I think I wasn’t in the “evil zone”.
As for the point on the “yellow writings on the window”, I do not believe it made fun of a person’s English. In fact, it has nothing to do with language. As I mentioned in the earlier post, I suggested that they were replaced with a more generic term like Internet, games, printing, etc.
I apologize if I offended anyone unconsciously. No hard feelings, ok?
I found this celebrity collage software from hcfoo. It looks fun so I decided to play with it a while. Have you wondered who your celebrity look-alikes are? Try this out.
At first, I took the photo I sketched the other day to test it out. The result is quite disappointing, really. The only guy in my list of celebrity look-alikes is Kenny Chesney. The morph between my photo and Carmen Kass’ looked freakily similar. However, it was Madonna’s teeth that matches mine the most.
Not satisfied with my first result, I used a photo I took recently. This time two male celebrities, Ethan Hawke and John Cho(w) were in the list. Feeling more confident, I dug out another older photo and got the result below.
My “newest” celebrity look-alikes are Jericho Rosales, Kanye West, Nick Carter, Dr. Dre and Fernando Alonso. LOL. How I wish it was true.
