Womenz r dum bitchez



Nowadays it seems to be very common among certain Malaysians to blame women for everything from being raped to drug-trafficking. Are these people sane, I ask myself? Because even my senile grandmother wouldn't condone the statements that are appearing in the media. Hell, even mentally disabled people would not like to be put in the same group as these fanatics, even though the only explanation I can give is that they are really fucked up up in there. The latest stinking verbal diarrhea comes from National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari, who says that the white blouses school girls wear are too sexy. I quote her:

"The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction [...]"

"It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it," she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.

"This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution[..]"

"Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,[..]"

"This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them," Munirah said."This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things."

I don't even know where to start. First of all I think this woman's brain is old and fat from lack of exercise, i.e. doing some real, thorough thinking, so she just gobbles up whatever chauvinistic male fundamentalists tell her and regurgitates that shit. Secondly I think she must be pretty ugly and bitter, and her husband probably left her for a second and third wife. And since she signed her life and self-determination away when she married him, she has nothing better to do than bitch about younger ladies. Every morning she sits in her kitchen after cooking endless meals hoping that her fat ugly husband comes back to her, and during this time she thinks of things she can say to the world, about how prettier, younger girls are stealing her husband away from her.

I suggest you get laid before you humiliate yourself by conjuring more rotten stink. Because you, my dear, have set feminism back to the ice age. I also suggest you go back to biology class, so you know that babies born out of wedlock are not caused by school uniforms, but because it is an Asian mentality not to talk about sex and your body. A lot of teenagers do not know about contraception although puberty has made them realize that they have penises and clitorises. Why don't you go educate your children and members of your fundamentalist club on that one first, huh? Because who do you see hiding behind stairwells being filmed having sex? Yes, perempuan-Melayu-terakhir-like girls wearing baju kurungs.

Also, my dear Munirah, school girls do not go around Chow Kit screaming Rape Me, I'm in a School Uniform! Innocent girls and women get raped because there are men who have no respect for human beings, there are men who cannot control their sexual needs, there are men who think they can treat women as animals, because of women like you, Munirah. You lick their feet and wipe their asses and you willingly blame your own gender for being abused by men. I suppose you think that deputy director for the Malaysian tourism board in Taiwan was not wrong for molesting a worker at a shop right? That chink was probably wearing a white blouse too.

Another chauvinistic pig, Ibrahim Ali, has joined the women-bashing-club. Munirah probably gave him a life membership after he said that divorces occur because of women.

“Such problems happen because women cannot accept polygamy. From a preventive point of view, what about doing a big campaign so that women can accept polygamy?” he asked.

Ibrahim said women did not understand that when they were pregnant for nine months, or had “problems” when they hit their 50s, their men still wanted to “have fun”.

“So the man wants to marry again, and the wife gets jealous and asks for a divorce.”


Hey Ibrahim, you are one of those morons (maybe a potential molester also) who probably suck in bed, that's why your wife doesn't want to have sex with you. You are also very unattractive, and I bet you have halitosis. Maybe really bad eczema too. Dang, did I just reveal your secret? Is that why no woman wants to touch you, causing you to be a bitter sexist pig?

No wonder people think we're still a third world country, because people who get media attention are portraying themselves as uneducated idiots.

We really need to change this. We need some sort of think-tank to curb this growing onslaught against women. They are EVERYWHERE, in the ministry (Rais Yatim - women need permission to go abroad), in politics (PAS & UMNO members have given sexist and degrading remarks), in universities, for goodness sakes. The saddest thing is the person who should have said something, whose position it is to defend and to support women - Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen - did not comment on these issues at all. This is your JOB, for goodness sakes. What are you doing? Busy kissing BN's ass?

Make like a hamster


..and collect those free trial packs you get from magazines. I got these from my sister when I visited her last month cause she rips them off of the monthly woman's mag she gets. I never thought about it but they're really practical for occasions such as going on a short trip, so you don't have to lug around those huge shampoo or shower gel bottles, or when you have to board a plane to go somewhere - these tiny things are so useful since the 100ml-liquid-restriction for international flights.

That's my tip of the day lah.

Night time in KL


Me, Suraya, Daphne, random guy at TAG



A month after I landed in KL last year, I went to TAG (Zouk Loft) with some friends. Actually Daphne (my crazysexy woman who gets realllyyy red when she has had a few) had asked me to join her at TAG, like, when I was an FOB in KL but that time I had NO idea how to get to Zouk from Bukit Damansara. There are only 2 reasons why I'd recommend that place to people (and why I go there occasionally):
i) Free entry before midnight, and 2 jugs of Vodka-Redbull for RM50
ii) Music is abso-fucking-lutely awesome
That's it. Those are my two reasons. I don't like going there too often because it would be very expensive to get drunk every Friday, and I can only tolerate that place intoxicated. If you've been there before you'd know why.
i) It's too hot - bad ventilation
ii) There are too many fucking scenesters going around the place acting like they're so cool because OMG! It's TAG! with their tight ass pants and ugly clothes. I don't get why guys would want to wear skin tight shit because it makes you horribly unattractive and un-fuckable unless you find a girl who's either blind or desperate enough.

RtheMonkey was there from the early TAG days and he agrees with me. Wannabes actually flock to the place like flies and dog shit. If you go make sure you have enough moonies to buy at least 4 jugs (or get drunk before, OR smuggle in shit), and bring fun people like Dafdaf or the Germans, so you don't asphyxiate from the overdose of scenesters.


me and the Germans
And WHATTHEFUCK is up with Eurovision song contest. It has become so low-class and tacky ever since they let the East European / new EU countries join in. I want the good old ABBA days back.

SOCIETY AND AUTHORITIES draw lines around us every day. What can we do about it? We draw more lines, of course.

For OUT OF LINE, The Annexe, Central Market, presents 15 Malaysian artists and non-artists who go back to the basic with lines, but their lines are anything but basic. They show us how little or how much is needed to step beyond the line that prevents us from expressing ourselves. Have imagination, will travel.

Witness the surprising, intricate, beautiful and irreverent works: doodles that flow with surreal intensity, lines that challenge their own seemingly simple forms, and subject matters that threaten to unravel the lines that define them.

In this exhibition, even the lines are out of line.

Busy bee fie



So the next couple of days I won't be having much time to laze around because I have to get my l-a-z-y a-s-s moving to continue working on my paper, and I'm in the midst of moving out of my current room so I'm looking for a new place which is nearer to my uni.

I also have a thesis to think about which I plan to finish by August. But, I AM STUCK. Today I thought of two topics that are interesting to me:

1) Asian-American literature

or

2) Political ties between USA and Malaysia

For 2), I don't really mean THE WHOLE damn thing, but I'd like to concentrate on the years 1998-2008. You know, when Anwar got jailed and all hell broke loose with international politicians criticizing Mahathir's actions. I'd like to analyze what Mahathir has been saying about American politicians, and how he affected the political ties to USA; and post-Mahathir, whether the political relationship as changed.

Problem with 2), I don't know if I could get enough sources (secondary literature) except for newspapers. And if there are any available books in Malaysia, I'd have to ask someone to ship them over. Or, I fly back and write my thesis there.

WAhhhhhh. :/

All this nonsense for a Bachelor thesis!

Divided


Hey West Malaysian Mainstream Media,

Hey West Malaysian politicians,

How about you guys quit being dumbasses and stop saying 'Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak..' ?

If you want to segregate us, how about saying 'Malaya and Sabah and Sarawak' instead. It's not like you haven't isolated us anyway. And degraded us to 3rd class citizens and robbed and raped us by taking 95% and leaving us with 5% oil royalty - although I admit we are at fault for giving our votes to some frog-hopping, money-minded, egoistic, hotel-owning, ass-kissing Sabahan politicians.

I've met some really ignorant West Malaysians as well. Asking me if Sabah's part of Malaysia, if there are other things to do except mountain climbing (there are clubs in Sabah? No shit..), and if we speak Bahasa Malaysia..

Miscellaneous

I look like a kid


The weather in Berlin has been sucky. It's cloudy, a bit windy, and today it rained. I'm forced to abandon my tank tops and flats and return to sneakers and long sleeves. The drop in temperature also makes me feel sleepy all the time. Have I told you I'm a summer person? No matter how much I complain about the heat in Malaysia, I always prefer it over Central European weather. I want my flip flops and shorts, pleasssseeeeeee.

Today's topic: Things I cannot fathom.

1) Why can't people stand up and give their seats to the elderly on public transportation? I always witness this self-centeredness! I have no problem giving up my seat to a grandma or grandpa, I don't mind standing up even though it takes me 30-fucking-minutes to reach my uni. Last week the weather was better and sunnier, and you know subways always heat up like woah, Nelly! in no time, and I can only imagine how older people must feel standing up in the heat, when it makes *me* feel like I want to pass out. I think it's really heartless to notice a weaker person and to ignore them just so you can glue your ass to the seat. Fucktards.

2) Why do people remove the plastic hygiene slip in panties or bikini bottoms?! You can try them but for fuckssakes leave the plastic thingy on! It is not for you to bring home and stick on your wall.

3) Why do girls like to wear RAPE-ME attire when they go clubbing?! Your non-existent boobs are not attractive and if those short shorts get any lower, I will see your pubic hair! DO NOT WANT. You want to attract men's attention? They're probably perverted rapists if they think that's attractive. Stupid men.

4) Why do people STAND IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING SUBWAY DOOR when I want to get out. First, you let those IN the subway GO OUT, then you can GO IN, okay. And dear tourists, please don't start reading your maps in front of the entrance to the station, or on the steps, or in the middle of the way. It is damn stupid and the next time you do that, I will purposely bump into you and step on your toes.

Yeahhhhhhhhh Elfie's on the raging tour again.

On a completely different note, I canNOT wait for Alanis Morissette's new album (Flavors of Entanglement) to come out. She has been my favorite female singer since JLP. I know guys don't like her much because they think she's this hardcore feminist. I think she's a wonderful songwriter, and her lyrics always, always describes all these feelings I have/had perfectly.


You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

More LOLZ!

Sigh. Well trying to work on my paper wasn't successful because I keep on going to ONTD or Dlisted to read celeb gossip. That's what I do when I've gone through my political dailies, my link list, and even random blogs on random directories. Why do I procrastinate so?!! LAZY ASS, come on say it with me L-A-Z-Y..

Anyhoo I found some gems which really cracked me up:




You know what I need
Somebody that who can come li-li-lick the clit
..
Me and fat dick Ludacris making us a movie *is she promoting him or does she really know?*
Butt naked in a bed of cash
Make tough stuff stutter when I shake my ass
..
I want a nigga that'll grab the weave *so he can rip 'em and see your bald ass head?!*
And turn my eyes Chinese *racist bitch*
Tell me baby can you handle me?
I wanna do it all in your mouth
Then I'll pull the ass out
Make you bounce till you pass out *wahaha 'I fucked him dead'*
..
You gotta li li li lick me from my ass to my clit
Then you gotta su-suck the pussy while I sit on your dick *how does this work?! I bet she has the Kama Sutra book*

Luda and the bad bitches of rap = LOLZZZ. Porn songs.

You know Tila Tequila? Mother of Asian Ho's?




So Dont Think Im Crazy When I Tell You This
But If You Ever Hurt Me
I'll Fuckin Kill You
...
Wat Who Are U Talkin To
U Betta Hang Up Or
I'll Do Wit U (Dirty Ass Hoes)
And Who Tha Fuck Is This Bitch On Ur Page
Wit Big Ass Tits Up On Ur Top 8
...
You Better Go Down When You Get Wit Me
You Better Realize I Amd Wat You Need
You Better Get Here Before I Count To 3
You Better Do Right
I'll Fuck You Up

Conclusion = She's one bad ass, jealous, possessive, abusive bitch. She has a show on VH1. And I can't understand WHY people want to 'take a shot at her love', just like that ugly rapper Flava Flav. He is SO gross. He is scrawny. His face is fug. He is short. Yuck yuck yuck. All these people probably have STDs :(

And last but not least,


Ps3's new ad, apparently. Click to enlarge. The p33n has been replaced with a thumb. What on earth are they trying to say?? The p33n can control the Playstation too? The thumb is like a p33n so you can pee through your thumb? The thumb is the new sex?

Some suggestions from the ONTD folk:

PS3: OUR SYSTEM IS HUGE BUT HIS COCK ISN'T

he has a thumb for playing playstation instead of a dick for having sex?

Are they trying to suggest that the thumb is more important than a penis, to a male video gamer?

He'd rather use his thumb than his peen? Using his thumb gets him off more than using his peen?

Peoply who own PS3s have no dick.


HAHA I find the last one hilarious. Maybe it's meant to be understood only by its clientèle, and since I'm not a gamer, I don't really care. To me it's like, PEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNN!



Bangsa Malaysia

Ever since moving to Deutschland, I've had this idea in my head that when I have my own kids I'd like to raise them in Malaysia (and when they're old enough I'll send them back to Deutschland to my mom or sis). Well that is, if I ever have kids because I absolutely adore cute babies (yes, IMHO there are non-cute ones too) but I'm not so keen on the changing nappies thing, and I can't stand kids older than 3.. but anyway I digress. I was going to tell you about why I've thought about this. You see, thinking back about my childhood in KK, I've always had people from various races, religions and nationalities in my circle of friends. These issues were never a topic or a problem, in fact I don't ever remember us seeing each other in terms of WHAT YOU ARE. Instead this diversity was exciting to us kids, and we'd pretend (okay this seems silly and childish now haha) to be all Muslims on one day and not eat pork, inventing Muslim names for every one in the group, and I even remember telling my maid not to cook pork anymore so I can share my packed lunch with everyone. Or, and this one we used to do a lot, we'd go around pretending we're all cousins (in our clique) and we'd convince other kids that we're all Chinese, even the most obvious Malay-looking one. One time learning Jawi was such a big hit that we'd pester the Muslim girls to teach us how to write our names and stuff. And in Primary 6 (I think) my friend even went to Glory Kids Camp which was organized by this Christian church.. she's Muslim. We were cool like that.

Is it because we were at a public school (Convent represent!), as opposed to a SR(J)K? Or is it because we were in Sabah anyway, where there are so many races, KadazanDusuns, Murut, Bajau, Chinese, Indians, et cetera, that we didn't really bother anyway?

Being in KL for 8 and a half months changed my perspective a bit because I realized it's different in the Peninsular. I'm not saying everyone there is racially divided, but I have come across several situations portraying the divide. I've met a Chinese girl (if you're reading this, you know I love you!) who had her first Indian friend at 23. I've met a Malay girl who has never had a Chinese friend before. And my friends who are at public uni's in the peninsular have told me how difficult it is for them because the cliques are based on race, so they don't know where they belong..and they don't want to be stuck in a one-race-group.

I also realized how the politicians in Peninsular Malaysia always make racial references in their press statements, e.g. 'Malays and non-Malays.' 'Bumiputeras and non-Bumis'. I mean, come on lah, why do you think you're so special that you want to classify yourself and then 'dan lain-lain'? Or that one minister who said if they don't like it here they can get out (of the country)? WTF you moron. Kindergarten tactics 101. It's stupid. You're being stupid and a major fuck-up if you think non-Malays have no right to voice out criticism, and treating them as 'guests' or 2nd class citizens. We're all Malaysians, we see ourselves as Malaysians, why aren't we being treated equally.

Liberté Égalité Fraternité. That's how it's supposed to be.
Feminism aside, you know what I mean.

Think about it.

Meanwhile I have to get my ass moving to write my 20 page paper on Reality TV in the USA. And then write my thesis. I'm such a procrastinator it is unbelievable!! And 3 years ago when I started Uni I said I wanted to change :(

Of Ads and Charity

First off, I'm planning to fly to Malaysia after summer to do some volunteer work. Does anyone know any institutions which could use some help? As in, orphanages or disabled children's homes, preferably in KL or KK (Sabah). My uncle said he'll try to find a place for me in KK but just in case that doesn't work out, I'll be happy if someone can get me email addresses or websites of other places. I'm thinking of teaching English (I'm crappy at everything else, except maybe Arts. haha. And my BM has been reduced to rojak standard), or just generally helping around. I wanted to go to Indonesia/Burma but the family gets worried that .. uhm.. I don't exactly know what but they prefer me staying put in Malaysia.

Anyhoo. People! Look out for my Advertlets ad because they're running this fucking awesome campaign called Free Rice. On the website you get to play this vocabulary game and for every right answer they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program. I think it's very cool, and yay Advertlets for getting this one. Gah I sound like I'm promoting them pulak. But hey the more you play the more rice you give to people who need it okay.

Oh LA LA LA how many of you have NuffNang ads on their blogs? Do you guys ever get anything out of it? I've been with NN for over a month now and I've only gotten 0.90 sens, no shit, mother. That's like 41.10 ringgit to go before they send me a check. And maybe it's because I malas want to pimp my blog but actually I don't really care lah. 50 ringgit is like 10 euros, ptui! (0.90 sens = 0.18 euro cents!) I never expected to make money out of this and I joined NN so that I could maybbbeee get a chance and winning the MDG blogger competition thingy cause you have to be a member to be eligible (capitalist tactics!), which I didn't anyway so basically I don't give a shit. Except I'll retain my membership just in case there are any free giveaways haha. I am such a whore for free shit, well watchaexpect I'm a Malaysian. You know we run to the spot 2 seconds after the emcee says we can get free T-shirts. Or we will so empty out the candy dish into our handbags. Well I'm not that bad lah. I have waaayy too many T-shirts and pens and candy's bad for my health and teeth. Anyway I digress (I tend to do that a lot. Boy when you're actually talking to me I will jump from topic to topic like a fucking kangaroo).

Okay. So yeah NuffNang. They are like the fucking military man. By that I mean dictatorship army LOL. You can't criticize them at all or they will ban you and shit (read ShadowFox for more). Even my comment on their 'blog' where competitions are announced was deleted. And it was a fucking harmless comment lah. I wasn't even vulgar or bitching on anyone. Basically they put up a post about the latest McD campaign, and there's this vid of a NN 'femes blogger' going to 3 Macces outlets and chanting the chant under 4 seconds, thus getting 3 free cheeseburgers. So I commented that although the grand prize is cool (10 k ringgit), I would not make a fool out of myself in front of everyone just for a cheeseburger. I mean come on lah, that burger is like 3 ringgit. You don't even get a set meal. Hell, it's something else if it's about getting a free shopping spree at a store of your choice, or a paid vacation, or.. even a lifetime supply at KFC. Then I don't mind people laughing at me while I chant or even sing (like a frog). So I commented that, yeah, and the next day it was gone. Obviously the only comments you read are as such: 'Ohh what a cool idea!' or 'So great!' or 'I want to do!' You know the nice, ass kissing ones lah.


we don't like the smell of this stink..


It's really ridiculous but it's true. And apparently NN has this whole bunch of fangirls and fanboys who'd slash their wrists to defend NN (haha). Sounds familiar though..I'm thinking of.. MDG (Ringo anyone?) or.. well you can think of any situation in which it's all about blind followers and not using your gray matter to think. ShadowFox has lovely posts about this.


Tristan doesn't think too highly of this either!

Some LOLZ

from pbfcomics.com, thanks to Josh of Advertlets.


Alright I've come off like a raging bitch on my last few posts. What can I say, stupidity gets on my nerves. And for those who don't bother reading my disclaimer - NO, I'm not this angry bangry person in every day life. I don't have a facial expression looking like I'll kill you cause you smell like shit. It's just hard NOT to blow up when I read my political dailies about Malaysia, plus by blogging about these things, maybe I could reach out to other people who share the same thoughts and feelings as me (or not lah).

Anyway if you were to meet me in real life, most of the time I'm like this:
Acting chinky with CD at Chilli's

or

Sticking my tongue out at any given opportunity
this was at Amir's book launch at The Annexe where we helped to sell books

or

Being a kid when I'm bored

Don & Oden

or

Doing stupid things in public like proving that I can touch my toes!


Yup I'm quite the friendly person. That is if you're friendly to me too. 'Cause I can't stand haughty bitches and I've met quite a few.. and then well, you'll probably realize I don't like you because I will not act like I like someone when I don't. I'm not good at faking my disgust so there. ETA: Somehow I feel I look pretty bland in my pictures. Sorry lah if I've ruined your everysight, kio (Kio is Kadazan for 'okay' btw..I think.). I'm just not the one to put make up on her face. Too lazy lah haha.

Anyway I feel like a Samaritan today so here's a LOLZ to make you smile a bit..or not..: Dlisted.com's Hot Slut of the Week:


When she's older her boobs will sag down to her knees :( Or maybe they already do. But meanwhile, she could use them as a weapon. If someone tries to steal her handbag, she'd go, OH NO YOU DIDN'T SONNAFABITCH, push her bra down, and squish the man's head between her boobs! He'd either suffocate from lack of air or from the smell in there :(

Norma Stitz would make a great bodyguard.

We are being treated like fools

These are the top three things which can make me mad pretty quickly (and of course they're inter-connected):

1) Stupid people saying stupid things
2) Social injustice
3) Malaysian politics

Countless of times I would get really passionate about these topics when they come up. It can be quite fun, especially topic no.1 when during the 'Chilli's sessions' with the resident bitches, CD and Cheesecakeerian. When no.2 and no.3 come up though, I rather pity the people around me who have to taste my wrath. I remember when I was interning at Da Huang, during lunch with Sel and K., we would discuss about politics. It would get very heated and I'd get very loud, until someone (mostly Sel) would tell me to shut the fuck up because other people can hear me.
"They'll report you!!"
"So what?!" *eksyen bah, like I'm so berani*
"You'll get kicked out of the country!"
"I'm Malaysian citizen lah!"
"Oh I thought your passport's German.."
"PR only lah.."
"Oh.."

I think it's important to be aware of what's happening around you. Especially in a country like Malaysia where it's so goddamn obvious that the government is made up of a bunch of sexist, racist idiots.

These idiots are treating us like fools and sometimes I have the feeling that a lot of people don't give a damn that they're being farted on. Okay, these people might be the ones benefiting from their connection to these corrupted politicians.. and there are others who basically just DO NOT CARE because they think it doesn't concern them. Unfortunately these people are mostly from my generation, and it makes me so mad. There is no excuse for ignorance, especially when you think it's none of your business because you're not suffering in any way or you're not being discriminated. I remember this girl ( yellooowwwwww! ) who shall remain nameless because I am nice like that, when the HINDRAF rally was on and the police got their orders to control vehicles and passengers in KL, ALL SHE HAD TO SAY was how the roadblocks were making her late for her party! Is that the only thing you can complain about? Oh yeah, I forgot, parties are far more important than freedom of speech, and the government preventing us from practicing our human rights.

You know I can go on and on about this. Having denied BN the majority is still not enough. Every day something new comes up in the alternative media (because mainstream media are biased capitalists) about them trampling all over us. And PUHLEEZE, all their so-called calls for reformation, calls for more freedom of the media? DO YOU BELIEVE THEM?! They've been proven to be hypocrites over and over again. Remember how one minister said all bloggers are liars, and 90% are jobless women? And now BN politicians are coming up with their own blogs. WTF morons.

I have read about RPK's imprisonment. About the police locking up and threatening people who were at the candlelight vigil for RPK. About the police defying the Selangor government's orders in the midst of the Grand Saga folly. And yesterday I read about a Sabahan being beaten up for making a police report: you see, a 'Datuk' (my middle finger to you, mister) offered protection service to a real estate company which had seized oil palm plantations belonging to some people in the interior of Sabah. Protection service: employing more than a 100 illegal immigrants with dogs, parangs, and shotguns to prevent the actual landowners to enter their plantation! This 'Datuk' was of course paid back for his 'protection' by being given shares of the real estate company and benefits. I want to know who this bloody 'Datuk' is. I want to know why there isn't anything done yet, apart from 'Oh, we're looking into these matters' (Sabah ACA Director).

Doesn't this make your blood boil? Fuck. And thanks to the Sabahans who voted for BN, we'll probably make the politicians richer to buy more mansions, more hotels and resorts, and our tax money will pay for 'protection services'! We are practically paying illegals to beat up our own people. Hilarious.

I thought we were supposed to be fighting for justice together.

A celeb! (NOT)

can't remember where I got this from. Eyeris did I steal this from you?!


In 2000 I started blogging at LJ, because it was easier for my non-German friends to know what's going on in my life by reading my blog, and also I simply changed from writing a journal to typing on the Net. Since then I've spent a crazy amount of time blog-hopping, reading blogs of friends, or just passing-by-sort of thing. It's something I do to pass the time, you know (more like procrastinate), and once in a while I stumble upon blogs which are damn funny / interesting / both.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT.

I do not understand this whole blogger popularity shit. Before my 8 1/2 months stay in KL (August '07 til mid April '08), I had no idea who Xia Xue, Ringo or Kenny Sia was. Then I started talking to my friends.. I don't know HOW but the whole I-am-a-femes-blogger-call-me-King came out. Sure, you can be famous on the Internet, you can have 5000000 visitors per day, but dude why are people so desperate to treat them like celebrities ?!

Once I was at TAG with friends, and Rudy introduced us to a lady he called Joyce, the fairy.
Me: *clueless* *thinks why he calls her the fairy. Does she have wings?*
A friend: Hey you know who's that?
Me: Err.. no.. Rudy's friend lah..
A friend: She's this super famous blogger!
Me: Oh..err.. well I don't know her..

I've never heard of her before lah.

And why do you people adore bloggers so much? IMHO Xia Xue is an ugly bitch with a ton of make up on her face (and she has hairy, manly fingers), and Kenny Sia.. well you know what I think of him. Sometimes his posts are so-so but most of the time he's just trying too hard (and he kicked his girlfriend out of a hotel bedroom once. Not a gentleman in his blog, and not one in real life either). And Ringo? (btw I have a feeling she chose this name, you know, just like the Ah Lians out there who choose English names like Apple, Fish, Angel..) I did not know of her existence until I was reading posts about MDG. I cannot fathom the stupidity of her 'fanbase': spending money to vote for a fake, I-am-too-cute-for-this-world blogger! And bashing everyone else who criticized her performance. JESUS.

And I hate it when people go, 'Oh (insert name here) is so pretty/writes awesome posts. You don't know him/her?!! IMPOSSIBLE!!' Oh no you didn't, bitch. Very possible. This is Malaysia. Just like any so-called model / star from this country.. no one gives a shit about you anywhere else (unless you are Amy Search, then you have one German fan who's dedicated in forcing everyone he knows to listen to the Isabella CD he got..my sister's friend. But that's another story for another day).

Bitches who are appalled that I didn't know these 'famous' bloggers should STFU because unlike you, I rather read blogs which have real content. Posts which open your eyes to the social and political state of Malaysia (RPK, Rocky, Haris, Zorro are my favorites). I'd rather be educated and socially aware than be a fangirl, thank you very much.

Blind 'fans' who go crazy when they see a 'blogger' in real life and are so obsessed until they spend their gaji to meet one/ to buy products endorsed by one/ to make sure the 'blogger' is happy *coughsMDGcoughs* = PATHETIC.

Book Warehouse Sale!

I've been an avid reader since I was small and it's pretty obvious if you enter my room, my one wall is practically filled from top to bottom with everything from Enid Blyton to Agatha Christie. To Terry Prachett. Amy Tan. Et cetera!

I love the smell of new books, don't you? But sometimes (well most of the time) I'm broke, and since I'm a lit student AND a book freak, I wanna have something to read all the time, so one thing I've come to love is second hand bookstores. There are tons of them in Berlin, all cute and small and filled to the brim with old books. When I was in KL I used to go to Pay Less Bookstore at 1 U & Amcorp Mall. Anyhoo I got this in my mail today, and I wanna share it with the book lovers out there.



Also, when there's like an inscription or dedication in the book, I think it's the sweetest thing ever! Well, uhm, except of course, if YOU're the one who gave the book to the person in the first place, and you find your 'present' at a second hand bookstore. WTF.

ROTFL.

Oh, men!




What is it with men who demand for blowjobs but refuse to go oral on their girlfriends because it is 'gross' ?

IT'S SO FUCKING CHILDISH lah.
