#1 - calling for less sex and violence on tv. on one hand, it may mean less hip hop videos (yay!!!). on the other hand, what channels have these politicians been watching that they actually see sex? because i sure as hell don't get those, and i'd like to. for the sake of research, of course; just to see exactly how sexy it is.

i would also like to suggest a massive clean up of the cartoon channels, because Tom and Jerry have been running around buck naked for too long. they should know better, being as old as they are. the same goes for disney - put some damn trousers on, Donald. you and your nephews. as a concerned citizen, my sensibilities are extremely offended.

p.s. - teletubbies and barney make me violent, please ban them.

#2 - is the owner of a silver audi (WLE 823) i saw in the carpark of the car service center i went to yesterday. you were clumsily driving your car around the area, looking for a place to stop where you wouldn't be in anyone's way. i think it would have been easier if you hadn't sat your toddler daughter in your lap. i saw the way you stopped and went, and i didn't want to be there if she found out what happens when you drive without a seat belt.

idiot.

i also wanted to include motorbiking parents here. you know, the ones where the wife, husband and their three children have only 2 helmets between them. and then i thought, if they're doing that with the bike, then maybe they couldn't afford more helmets, and thus deserve our prayers for their safety.

and then i thought, why the hell can't they stop making children?!

#3 - all those idiot rubberneckers motorists who slowed down to gawk at accidents and caused a traffic jam on the way down from Genting.

stupid, i know it was very interesting/tragic/a moment of bonding between strangers/potentially fortunate to drive at 20 kph and see how a Saga had been rear-ended by a Kancil, and in turn had rammed into a Wira;

*gangster

**to buy a lottery ticket in the hopes of striking the jackpot with the numbers used.

i saw those SMS messages for teachers' day. did anyone actually read them, besides the senders and the recipients?

my mum left for a 2 week teaching course today. funny way to celebrate teachers' day.

incident at dimsum SS2

yesterday, we went for breakfast at this dimsum place in SS2. there was a family seated at the table beside ours, consisting of the parents, a (plump) 5-6 year old walking around, and a chatty toddler that was held captive in a children's high-chair provided by the restaurant.

as we maded our way to our table, the toddler's eyes caught mine and he swivelled around to see where i was going. once seated not 2 feet away, he twisted around in his seat and started babbling to himself while looking at me the whole while. i stared, then said good morning to him.

he must have been thrilled to bits because he started babbling louder and bouncing up and down in his high chair. i think he was saying, "che-che**."

his mother watched indulgently as we played a lame sort of hide-and-seek (i was waiting for the food mah), waiting for him to turn back to her so she could feed him. then, she said, "you really miss your kakak** huh?"

*potong stim*

i'm glad there's someone out there who's as good looking as i am, huahahahahaw. and that i appeal to males of all ages.

**big sister/colloquial form of addressing or referring to the maid (!!!)

more about Invisible Monsters - there is a trio of sisters in the story, collectively known as the Rhea sisters. their first names are Pie, Die and Gon. i think it's clever, dammit.

talk about brilliant

if i drew a head, or took a picture of only my head, and posted it online (or wherever), then i could put "i have no body" in the picture. this way, i could pimp myself out to those who understand!

my reply at forum has gone unreplied. it used to be they'd fall over themselves squealing and giggling at my cleverness, but not today! me = persona non grata? i think i'd better go and apologise for having an opinion... :P

imagery - ... not a brutal skank bitch that could open bottle caps with her clit.

went to Giant in OU this afternoon. for some reason, the credit card machines were all out of service (strike ah?). there were a lot of tense, tight-mouthed people standing in line, watching the cash register display with narrowed, suspicious eyes.

also, i fancy that Robi Rosa fella. did you know his middle name is Draco and that he wrote Livin' La Vida Loca and he was in Menudo with Ricky Martin???

p.s. - i want Eric Bana to be my big bruvver.

i hope i don't sound too stupid

music from Muse is the kind of stuff you should listen to when you read something by Warren Ellis. i know nothing about what Warren Ellis does in the real world, but there it is.

the other thing i want to say is that Muse is like the soundtrack to a post-modern, post-apocalyptic, gothic shell of the landscape of what is left of the world.

i've always wanted to say that.

and also, listening to them is like hurtling cheerfully to your own self-destruction (if it's self-destruction, how can it be anyone else's?), and maybe there will be big explosions and lots of fire when it happens.

can you tell that i like Muse a lot? even their b-sides own every one.

moment of awareness - i just saw some Abu Ghraib pictures which will never be released into mass circulation (what the hell am i talking about - they're on the internet!). whoa. i don't want to believe it.

i ran a virus scan just now. 3 in 1 go, man! i'm running another one, cos Pandasoftware looks so nifty, heheheh. and it's a panda! why am i even online at all? i'm a geek - this is as close as i get to living on the edge.

have you ever had one of those days that, no matter what you do, you can't remember what you ordered for lunch? or you can't think of anything remotely plausible or coherent to say (it doesn't count if, say, you saw a picture of P Nev holding his baby)?

Invisible Monsters - wry. sardonic. anything but laconic. shallow. self-reflective. bitter.

hateful. extravagant. decadent. miserable. compulsive. page-turner. sad. grotesque. mocking.

self-mocking. pain. exclusion. betrayal. SURREAL. good. makes me feel less guilty about buying it with my dwindling funds. and that is the most important thing of all.

and i haven't even finished it yet...

ETA - compelling. angsty. wtf-inducing.

what have i done?!

my money won't last forever, but i went to the mall yesterday to get a snack (skipped lunch mah) and ended up buying Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters! aaagh.

it's about a model whose life is ruined when she meets with a disfiguring "accident", thereby making her an "invisible monster". i'm half-way through the book already, and i can't help feeling it's surreal. it must be one of those stream of consciousness things i hear about.

about annoying forum members

i'm sure every forum has its share, and i'm sure it stems from ignorance, i.e. they don't know they're being stupid, because they're young. young people are entitled to periodic bouts of stupidity (funny, i don't remember Bush being a teen...).

wow, i sound so condescending and patronising. and i've excluded old stupid people, so now i'm being exclusive and elitist as well.

but the point is that young(er) people are the center of their own universe, messing with new things (like html and wonky spelling), and they will realise that one day, and then maybe things will be different.

on the other hand, it's hard to defend eye-bleedingly huge fonts in one's signature, so i won't waste time trying.

random (not mine either) - but if you're lonely, then you crave companionship, right? i dunno, it sounded like a non sequitor to me (ooh, posh!).

modern times indeed.

blogs may contain objectionable and/or offensive material at any point in time. a good thing to keep in mind, as well, is that everything is relative.

so, you're entitled to say what you want on your little soapbox, people who hear it are entitled to feel offended. they're not entitled to kill or maim you in any way, but ill-will isn't illegal.

i was never good at angles, much less oblique ones, so i'll just type the way i know how to type (like a big bull elephant during mating season, blundering blindly through the african bush in search of oinky-boinky) -

it's ironic that B asks me why A is so cowardly as to write her opinion in her blog and not tell B to their face when B is being just as "cowardly" by asking me about it instead of A?

i know this sounds like Dear Thelma, but without the sex and angst (and angsty sex!), but fuck it. i still say that the material on a blog is that of the blogger alone, and you're not entitled to have them announce their opinion to you. if the said opinion comes as a nasty, black thundercloud of a surprise to your sunny, guileless little world, then say something, but not to me because i'm "good friends" with the "offender".

(it's just a picture, and the phrase is funny. well, okay, the look on her face is like how i feel now - constipated. heheh)
