channel news asia is my favorite news channel. i watch it more often than the local ones we got here. besides, i think that CNA got the hottest and highly credible news reporters, mentioning the likes of cherly fox, andrea chow... and my crush gerard lam. nyahahaha! i think andrea chow will make a good cosplay character! i can imagine her donning an uber cute manga outfit.... think andrea as one of the sailor moon. kawaii!
yesterday. did i see it right? gerard lam back in front of the camera. he usually does business report before, but he went off air for quite sometime. then yesterday, saw him back delivering the headlines. i told my frend about me having a crush on him, he tought its ridiculous! y? hes cute naman diba? besides, i jus love the intellectual aura of news casters, except for the local ones we got here who are mostly biased and sensational in reporting. wateves. i love it that hes back.... LOL! its not kilometre its kilogram darling!
dinner. we had a foreign guest at dinner. i jus love it coz the conversation went somwat academic and very sensible, not the usual cheap talks about gossips and sports. i dont know how the topics came about. it varied from inspirational books to a bit of ancient history as in the story of the Vikings then about the Dead Sea Scroll then the Da Vinci Code later on about chinese history then asian culture then about Saint Francis then about the food we served for her... so on and on more weird topics came...mom really surpirsed me coz i didnt know she knew history so well. i seldom see her read history books. i love how the chat went by. thank gawd our guest is a culture vulture history freak. i was jus quiet most of the time coz my oral english is as bad as ever, im not confident i rather shut my mouth .............................................................................................. on the other hand. i know mom was upset coz i was kinda rough when it comes to table manners. i eat like a voracious man who is starving to death, and i always have this impulse to pick the food by hand - which my family members hated soo much. so there i was eating without grace, as if table manners and etiquette wer mere bluffs. in one occasion, i pickd the food near me by hand. mom saw it. she quickly gave me a disapproving glance. ooops! sorry! promise it would be the last! i dont pick food by hand wen we eat outside, i only do it at home.
after dinner. i went to my usual nightly hang out place. had a few drinks.
drunk last night with the junkies.
invitation to be a junkie? sorry!

LSS: that hideaki tokunaga song
the nex day, it was only me and my uncle who had lunch in a mall. we chose this new chinese restuarant with screaming chinese decors. the food was tasty but predictably greasy. it was expensive but not worth at all, i wuldnt recommend it.
las week - i was a going to the terminal to catch a trip. wen i arrived at downtown for a ride, i was surprised that the whole main street was closed. traffic was rerouted to some unfamiliar place. since the terminal wasnt that far and i still hav plenty of time to kill, ive decided to walk going there - more than a mile of walking into those shady streets of downtown. i jussss love walking as long as its not scorching hot!
my watch is broke! it could be repaired but i guess i jus hav to let it retire forever. it looks so bad. fortunately, somebody promised to buy me a watch, and best of all, the budget is a bit big. im excited! at last! im gonna graduate from wearing plastic digital watches or that one with a realy bad leather strap! ive always wanted to own an expensive watch coz my brother's cool watches are too big for my skinny wrist. i check watch stores at the mall, im salivating that Issey Miyake watch but damn, its toooo expensive, im sure its way beyond the budget. i guess im going to settle for that casual leather one.

i hope liu xiang wins!
im not hoping for philipines to bring home watsoever medal.
alexander solzhenitsyn. 1918 - 2008.
russian history fascinates me. tell me stories about KGB, czars, labor camps and siberia and i would sure take the time to listen. it was back in college when i started to read more serious novels from my brothers bookshelf, first choice was Gulag Archipelago by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. if i hav the time to go back in my college's library, i could hav finish August 1914 and clean it from accumulating dust.
anyways last week, i started reading solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich", i bought the book in a thrift store last year. then yesterday morning while watching BBC, i was shocked when it reported that the author of the novel im reading is dead. sad.
Candy Girl by Soviet. yeah! Esprit rocks for using this techno song for its TVC. reminds of erasure and those early ninetees dance track.
so its beethoven and not mozart. im enjoying one of the worlds greates symphony!
olympics is near!!!!!!!
wahhh! now i get more excited about the 888 beijing summer olympics! i jus saw the leaked video of the olympic opening rehearsals. of course the organizers are keeping the details of the opening ceremony very secretly so as to keep the drama and surprise. but a korean network was able to take a video of the rehearsals and aired it on tv much to the ire of chinese officials. they shouldnt hav shown it, out of respect and diplomacy. as to how the video was taken despite maximum security, authorities are still conducting an investigation, this breach in security measures is of course an embarasment. beef it up guys! about the video - well its awesome and spectacular! cant wait to watch it full and live! its on youtube, jus a short clip that would sure tease u.
.... i still think that the olympics should be hosted not jus by countries who can afford it but more importantly by a country who is sincere and mature enough in upholding the true spirit of humanity - and of course that includes true freedom and equal human rights to all. China fails miserably wen we talked about human rights. not to mention unresloved issues like Tibet (nevermind xinjiang), injustices of peasants, the censorship and control of the media by the central government, corruption, fuck! even their whole internet system is under a massive filter. blog anything against the state and expect it to be shut down in any time, not to mention the harassment and illegal interrogation of chinese authorities to those who are allegedly against the state.
MAA 08! WTF!!!! they arent going live????? strangely, this is the first MAA where in i dont feel any excitement at all. and Jared Leto who???!! sorry but i dont know this guy. karen mok seems like a nice choice.
@#$%^&*????? siti nurhaliza is nominated AGAIN for the Nth time! shes been there since the beginning of MAA. i mean is there any other artist in malaysia? i hav nothing agains Siti, my friend and i think shes soooo sooo fabolous and uber beatiful! but hey, maa malaysia shuld give her a break and give others some chance. love me butch eh?
im going to take another company entrance exam tomorw. ive actually taken their exam last week but they gave me the wrong questionaire. fuck! so im going back there again. u know wat, i really felt bad after i took the exam. i jus cant recall anything i learned from that subjec back in college. it was frustrating. i left so many blank items in the exam and i wasnt expecting i wuld pass it. so when i receive a message from them this afternoon, i was soo surprise, i thot i made it. but when i read carefully the message, it was actually a retake of the exam bcoz they commited an error. duh! im viewing this as my second chance. fuck! i shuld hav done a major review since las week. anyways, i like their office. its not far from wer i live. and i knew some former classmates who are affiliated there. wish me luk for tomorw. im actually doing some minor review for this exam. im soo dumb.
LSS: shamisen six - yoshida brothers
first, my internet is fianlly fixed after almost a month of insanely intermittent connection. apparently, the technicians found that they forgot to set my WAN settings correctly when they last came here. i smell rebate! i hope i get a refund for this.
scared. anyways, i jus came from an experience i wil never forget. me and some of my friends were having a good time drinking at the PP, then at around ten, we decided to transfer to M's place. we had a bottle of brandy and lots of cigarettes, we mainly chatted about M's ex boyfriend who maltreated her. M admited that the money is a factor in their relationship but she decided to finally put everything between them to an end because the boy doesnt know how to handle his bad behavior. she told us that she is somtimes beaten. they are still friends but M has a new boyfriend. the boy is still soooo madly inlove with the girl, he cant move on without her.
all the four of us happily chatted in Ms living room. then suddenly boy arrived severly drunk. we didnt know wether he was high. he entred the room tipsy and sat next to M, we became silent sensing something foul is going to happen. suddenly he kicked the center table smashing all the bottles, plates and galsses to the floor. broken glasses littered the floor. the smell of spilled brandy emanated the whole area. i was totally scared! M gave us that calm look to assure us that everything wil not get worse. but then boy started kicking almost everything: the wooden walls, chairs, appliances etc. he begun hurtin himslelf. ... Me and mark went outside while M was trying to pacify Boy who was starting to cry. at this point, some of the neighbors woke up and check wats going on. they then reprimand the violator to stop going wild or else theyre gonna call the police. the situation calmed down for a moment but boy started to go violent again. he was cussing, wrecking almost everyting. M finally told us that we should ran away. i ran away with her on my bicycle, my hands trembling as i pedalled faster. at the end of the street, we lookd bak and saw to my horror Boy who was following. i jus dont understand those neighbors y they didnt do anything at all. maybe they are used to this spectacle. M and mark went to the left while i sped away to the right. i finally decided to go home as wat M and mark advised me. i dont know whats going on with them at this moment. i hope everything will be fine, specially that M is actually pregnant with her new boyfriend. i think M and mark went to Ms aunt. about the boy, im sure M's brothers are gonna take care of him. so far at this moment, i havnt heard any unwanted sound in our quiet neighborhood. im gonna go to sleep. i dont know much about the boy. the last time i had a drink with M was three years ago. the three of them spotted me at PP while i was having my usual nightly biking, they invited me to hav drink with them, who was i to refuse. ciao!
