Diablo III

Diablo III

OH MY GOD! Its coming soon! go watch the trailer and gameplay video. It is ABSOLUTELY beautiful - both gameplay and design.

After years of waiting it is finally (well, almost) here! The exact date are TBA (to be announce). I am restless now. Can't seem to contained meself of the excitement of the best ever game that i've played - Diablo I, II and soon III. I've decided that for once, I'd buy an original Diablo III. It will worth every cent.

Thank you Blizzard!

Good sport shoes shop

If you're out to find sporting shoes (gym, running, all-terrain, training, etc), and you're in KL area, I'd suggest going to a shop in Sg.Wang/Bukit Bintang, ground/mezzanine floor, on the way out to the street. It is the New Balance shop beside Al-Ikhsan sports shop.

I've never been in a shoe shop that is VERY helpful and professional. The guy took digital measurements of my feet, ask me to walk barefooted - to see what type of walk gait and give me detail explanation on various type of sporting shoes that fits me.

Awesome guy n shop. He don't even push me to buy this n that. Just frank professional business man. Cool ***** 5 star!

PS: i bought an all-terrain NB shoes with 3-4 cool-sounding features lol. it fits n feel good too!

Persatuan Tomoi Gombak

after all my life living in borderline Gombak area, only now i found out there is a Muay Thai training centre in the 'rural' Kg. Melayu Wira Damai. it is called Kelab Tomoi Anak Naga Api and they called themselves 'Seni Silat' - which signifies a more traditional approach than the usual kickboxing Gym workout.

I'm really excited. I will go check it out this week :)

The Tube's Golden Idols and the things we did

The Tube's Golden Idols and the things we did
(in no particular order)


Farah Fawcett
Source of many many tissue wastage in the early 80s



Lee Major - Steve Austiin aka Six Million Dollar Man
Yeah this is the awesomest hero of my childhood. Back then, every play-fights were in slow motion accompanied with 'strength' sound effect - dindindindingdingdingdingding



Bill Bixby (David Banner) & Lou Ferrigno (Hulk)
Don't tell me you never squirt copious amount of Green poster color and smear all over your body (and face when your parents not around)



Eric Estrada as Ponch Poncherello in CHIPS
I had the complete set (minus the motorbike ofcourse)!! Bought at pasar malam (night market)



Greg Evigan - B.J. and the Bear
Who wouldn't want a pet chimp after this tv series?!! atleast i got a pet monkey after pestering my dad for so long (chimps are not exportable in those time...or so my dad told me)



Andre the Giant - Bigfoot (Bayabaa!)
I think it was Andre. Can't find any info on that 70s TV series showing the other side of Bigfoot - a peace loving nice person but hell breaks loose when he yells BAAYAABAAAA! once the whole school yells this warcry while jumping a small hill or slopes.



Patrick Duffy - Mark Harris aka Man From Atlantis
Webbed hands & feet (LOOK AT THE PIC!!). Swim as fast as a dolphin and a cool underwater lab of some kind and ofcourse the submarine too. Atleast one of my swimming friend can do the dolphin-swim perfectly! (i can't swim)



Simon MacCorkindale - Jonathan Chase aka Manimal
One of the best shapeshifter known in the 80s. I can still remember when he grew whiskers becoming a Puma. awesome fx that was hard to replicate (i tried taping a clipped fishing line on my cheek....didn't work)



Chuck Wagner - Automan
Oh yes! the coolest ever sci-fi tv series. Beside Automan's cool glowy suit, his coolest gadget/buddy was the ever floating Cursor that can transform into an equally glowy car.


OK I'm exhausted now. of searching and re-enacting these fond memories :)
If you got anymore, please share!

This is FREAKY

OK this is FREAKY.
I open 'My Yahoo' page and the horoscope greeted me (not that i give much thought on horoscope but it was there as a package in My Yahoo). Here it is:

This very much spooked me since i had 2 incidents (yesterday & today) where 'someone from my past' entered in again. talk about coincidence! or was it? *deedoodeeeedoooodeeooo twilight zone theme*

1. Taurus (4/20-5/20)

   Someone from your past might pop back into your life today without you realizing it until you're face to face -- but there's no reason not to welcome them with open arms! Be friendly and show them that you don't hold any grudges or expectations (even if you do). No matter how things were left between the two of you, the future is a blank canvas, ready for you two to create whatever picture you want upon it. Think the best of them, and they will think the best of you.

Kissing the internet

on a whim I start searching Facebook for old friends earlier tonight. And i found one old friend, about 20 years of seperation. God bless the internet now we are friends again! I'm excited to communicate with this 'new' old friend again - excitement comes in small dosage these days :)

Feel like kissing the internet!

The Cure - Untitled

No other song have this effect on me; a feeling of lost & regret, of giving up hope & dreams, of broken past & uncertain future. Just simply wanted to stop everything and drop dead.



The Cure - Untitled
(Disintegration 1989)

hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real
never know how i wanted to feel

never quite said what i wanted to say to you
never quite managed the words to explain to you
never quite knew how to make them believable
and now the time has gone
another time undone

hopelessly fighting the devil futility
feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
i'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again

BoxxTomoi DVD!

my DVD from Boxxtomoi (Mus) arrived this evening! 3 volumes on 5 DVDs!!! like opening a birthday present, i ripped the Poslaju pack and slap the first DVD in the tray 'TM - Kejohanan Tomoi Antarabangsa Kedah II'. Like an Otaku getting his rare DVD collection, i sat transfixed until the end of Disc 1 and continue Disc 2 straight on until almost berbuka time. It seem the 2 DVDs run longer than it supposed to, since i kept rewinding & repeating awesome shots! there were a lot of those lovely shots. If this is the 80s and on VHS, I'd worn out the tape pretty soon LOL.

Anyway, I only wished i was there on the ring-side. Thanks Mus of Boxxtomoi for making this great video and contribution to Muay Thai. And letting fan like me have the opportunity to experience it.

PS: 3 more DVD to go....

Hope

Hope
When you're having high expectation of it, you are an optimist.
When you don't put much thought in it, you are a pessimist.
There is rarely a middle-ground - how convenient that would be!
In any way, if that hope was not achieved, you are left disappointed.

I'm done hoping. Time to move on. To try finding that middle-ground.
So that life could be a little bit easier and to come to term with what's left.

Gattaca's Coming

I love that movie, Gattaca, with it's dystopian retro-future settings of a world populated by perfect genetically-engineered human. It is scary to think of a world where every child were clinically gene-perfected, and accidental 'love-child' - naturally conceived - are considered an anomaly or even crippled.

The idea is a good one - I wouldn't want my future children to have critical illness for sure. But if everything's perfect, without stray quirkiness in natural genetics, Life would be boring.

And i found out from my fav sci-fi newsfeed io9, there are things already in motion. So here we are, closer to Gattaca in reality. http://www.genepartner.com

Ramadhan Snippets - Mandi Hadas

Had small talk with Ija about mandi hadas on Ramadhan fasting month.

Ija: somebody told me that we women don't have to 'mandi hadas' (Islamic cleansing) after period to puasa (fasting) the next day.

Me: Huh?!

Ija: yeah, he said that was only for sembahyang (prayer). Puasa is just an act, not praying.

Me: HUH?!?!??!!? Is he Malay? (and muslim)

Ija: yes.

Me: look, i'm not religious but i did my Islamic study at school and you NEED to cleanse yourself for any religious act like fasting! you're even cleansed when you're dead. So tell me, who is this friend of yours?

Ija: just somebody that i just say hi at the gym.

Me: well, either he is one VERY bright turd, or a so-called forward-thinking elitist Malay turd. All in all, he's a T.U.R.D nonetheless. So don't get yourself close to fecal matter yea. LOL

Sodom and Gomorrah revisited

Saw Ellen DeGeneres news clip from Yahoo about her wedding and a few clicks later found some papparazi'ed photos and torrents of hate/love comments. This amused me to no end about America's new highlights in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered, or LGBT in short (i just learned that term).

Before i continue, i must say that i'm not a homophobic person. I'm also not very religious too. i'm looking at this issue with a 3rd person practical view, so to speak. So....

OK, first there was the gay Christians issue and gay preacher, marriage, and stuff. These outraged even the American lol. But the mighty America overcame these troubled times nonetheless. I found this organization btw. These are dedicated 'religious' people studying Bible and what not and these smart ppl said "We believe that human delineations such as race, gender or sexual orientation are not held relevant by our Creator". Very smart quote. modern. forward-thinking.

What confuses me is that, there in the Bible it was mentioned that God condemned LGBT stuff (as noted in my title-link: Sodom & Gomorrah). So, these ECWR.org studies Bible AND supports which God condemned.

Warped. Seriously warped. Lightyears ahead of my puny mind.

Oh and i almost forgot about similar event about Malaysian gay pastor and the outraged local Christians. *note* Why most gaymen are bald? Anyway, he was married for 7 years and i quote "that she had endured much anguish during their seven-year, childless union.". He also credits his former wife for giving him strength to be true to himself. Hell yeah if I'm in his wife's shoes, i'd also try my best to fuck him up some more.

Oh well, like i said, i'm no homophobic, but come on people of Earth, if you're religious try not to be God and create your own version of understandings just so you could feel comfortable with your deficiencies. It all boils down to self-serving scheme. Just accept the facts that you are just 'different' and be happy with it. Don't drag the whole faith into your predicament.

PS: i have no problem with gays being gay. Just those religious/pastor-ish gay.
