Monday, Monday ...

AAAARGGHH!! It's here!

But something like this

 or this

or this

  or even this,

 surely helps to ease the pain.

Teen idol ... dream idol ...

If anyone ask me how long I've been a (semi/kinda/sorta)hipster about music, I'll have to say: a long time.

It really started in high school when I turned up my nose at New Kids on the Block and many other teen pop idols of the day. Yes, I am old enough to know NKOTB and listen to the band as they shoot to stardom. Shut up.

I once sneered to a classmate (who is a diehard NKOTB fan with school file featuring said band, natch), that Donnie Wahlberg looked like a convict and Danny Wood looked like he's the missing link. She, who is one of the most on-the-narrow sort (and became a respectable prefect the year after, mind you), actually lunged at me and almost throttled yours truly except for the grace of God and the excellent reflexes of fellow classmates.

Hence, I learned that you mock the teen idol of the day to a hardcore fan at your peril.

I had something to say about all the members of the band, but the one that got me kicked the hardest was when I said that Jon Knight looked like he's gay. Which of course was met with strenuous protestation that he's so cute (what does that have to do with which way he swings?) and that he's straight 'cause he's dating girls like Tiffany (whose eyes they want to gouge out).

And guess what? Thirteen year old me was right.

Do I have great, precociously developed gaydar or what?

Time - place setting

Time-place setting is a debating term to denote a strategy to restrict the parameters of the debate unfairly. But time-place setting, as expounded in the video, gives an insight to how people perceive time and how that affects their decision-making.

I am amazed at the animation and I love the idea. Now I have something else to blame for my slothfulness. My geographical location.

If only ...

Team Fortress 2 is an animated show, I would so go for it.

Sigh.

Love this guy.

Pimping!!!

I have always been a little embarrassed that I could read and write better in English than I could in my own mother tongue. It had not always been so: I could only read English well only when I was eleven years old (thanks to my sister). Before that, I read exclusively in Malay and mastered all kinds of simpulan bahasa. I could even recite syair correctly.

So here is my attempt to write in my mother tongue.

The content are fictional accounts derived from my imagination or from stories I heard at my father's knee. And yes, he is good at telling some rip-roaring tales.

So please. Do come and visit. And tell me what you think.

If this is an animation series, I would watch it religiously. But since it's a computer game ... *shrug*



Also, this is why you should google your surgeon first before going under the knife.

Midweek sh*t and giggles

Swing it!

For those who enjoy steampunk novels, here is the genre that would be the perfect soundtrack to your reading pleasure. Caravan Palace is a marvelous example of the melange that is electro swing. Big band sensibilities with electronica edginess, this genre is whimsical and magical with an underlying darkness like hidden teeth.





*is swinging away to the beat*

Groovy, baby!

Gettin' your groove on, owl style.

So pretty ... *swoons*

What you would love to say about douchebag colleagues.

There are some things that even Freddy Krueger wouldn't touch.

Be afraid, Fido. Be very afraid.

Arachnophobia. It gets to us all.

When you are made of awesome.

 Happy belated Father's Day?

Male pregnancy is now more than just fanfiction.

 

Somehow, I prefer the Sheryl Crow cover version better.
