Open Fire, Cease Fire

No, I'm talking about BACKFIRE.

Notice my last post I mentioned "technology rules"?

Well, yeah, have you ever heard of a saying that goes; don't praise something too much or talk bad about something so terribly lest it backfires and happens to you?

Well, of course you've never heard of it, I just created that a nanosecond ago.

So here's the story. Last night before I tucked into bed, I charged my phone. Well, I needed to sleep badly, but I also needed to have my phone charged so that I could wake up the next morning. Alarms, you know.

I rarely do this, but last night I had no choice. I charged my phone, and left it there until I woke up the next morning. I would normally pull out the charger once my phone is fully charged, which usually takes up about only an hour or so.

I slept at 2AM and woke up at 8AM.

So in the morning I pulled out the charger from my phone. Then a few moments after that Nazim called. After I hung up, there's this beep sound that resembles the sound when I charge my phone. I looked at my phone, and surprisingly, it was CHARGING! I was like, what the F?

I stared at it for a few minutes, mesmerized, then it suddenly went like "BATTERY FULL".

It was an iterative process. It kept going; charging-battery full-charging-battery full.

Up until one point when someone called me, I can't remember who, and we talked until my battery died.

I turned it back on because I know my phone has been acting like a pile of dung lately.

Heck, I only talked for like less than a minute!

Only after that did it stop being a lunatic, in terms of the 'charging-battery full' routine.

The battery is still a pile of muck.

HINT: I NEED A NEW PHONE!

Old School

Went into a small tepi jalan shop.

Found the traditional rollers.

Bought them.

And decided to try them on:

The outcome was dreadful.

I shall not embarrass myself in public.

Thank you (:

Now look at my little cousin, Alia (aged 10, I think) using them:

She looked like a grown girl! *ignore my "meditation"*

And her result was disastrous as well.

Lesson learned: Don't use traditional hair curlers/rollers if you're not a professional.

Technology rules in one way or another.

Think Twice Before You Look Twice

Today (or rather, yesterday), I heard twice on the radio; driving to and back from classes, about men and hot girls. So I decided to blog about it, taking it as a sign to finally "pen down" something after a long hiatus!

In the morning, I was listening to the Fly FM's Pagi Show with Phat Fabes, Ben and Nadia (God, I sound horribly like an advert). So Ben was complaining about one of the guys from the Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors or something (I'm sure every girl would know, myself included, only I haven't been reading the magazine -- or any magazine for that matter -- so I'm not so sure about the actual name/title for that). He stressed out that he has no hard feelings whatsoever towards this guy, Henry Golding, saying he's a nice and cool guy yada, yada. What bothered him was the fact that this kind of men and women, being Pan-Asians, are getting all the attention in the mass media; advertisements, magazines, television, etc. just because they're supposedly hotter and more glamorous and all. They were questioning, aren't we, being Chinese, Malays and Indians, hot enough to be getting as much attention?

See, I didn't hear till the end because I was already arriving at my campus. I did, however, hear enough about some people that do prefer looking at the usual crowd of Asians. Although most had said that it's all natural to be looking and paying more attention to people like the Pan-Asians, because, you know, they don't look typical and all that jazz. It's all in the mind.

Coincidently, I was just talking about it with Nazim the night before. It is ridiculously frustrating that they're getting all the attention. With their kind plastered on every inch of the wall at every corner of Malaysia, it makes you feel so bloody inferior if compared to! But I guess living in a multiracial country, we have to "accept" them and not just the usual Ali, Chong, and Muthu (or Pe'ah, Wen Jie, and Minachi) to live up to our reputation. They are partly Asian, after all.

On my way back home, I'm not sure it was Fly FM or Hitz.FM (I like flipping, yes), but I think it was Fly FM's Prem, who was doing all the talking. The reason I cannot be sure (because I am always so sure of myself) is because today, I decided to try a new route back home and I thought I knew the road (supposedly shorter than my usual route), but turned out I got LOST! So, wasn't paying my fullest attention to the radio. So, he was having this little "survey", where guys called in, I think, (because I wasn't in the car yet when this happened) about which do men prefer in women; BEAUTY or BRAIN (read: coming from Prem, he DID mention "beauty" first!). So he claimed most of guys answered : BRAIN *teeeeeeet!* Definitely a lie, right!

So, the girls called in. I remember one of them saying about it being a total lie (agreed upon) because yes, men maybe prefer the brains, but only eventually! They would obviously go for looks first, then they might think, oh this chick is dumb, I'd better just bed her then dump her. They would keep on doing the same evil thing until they've decided to settle down and pick "the right one". I would say, women, on the other hand, would definitely not  go for the looks straight away. Guys, I know what you're thinking : Oh of course, they search the pocket first! Which is not true for most decent, upright, and dignified women! 

Let's face it, how many hot men out there do you see walking with stout and sagging women? You can always, always, find hot girls accompanied by not-so-dashing men. This one dude called in, saying that men do like checking out hot girls. They would look twice, sometimes even FOUR times at the said women. They obviously, obviously like to LOOK. Us girls do "look" as well, but we'd only go like, "Oh my, what a bold and dazzling creation." Then, that's it. We don't fantasize anything like how they boys do it. Yes, I say boys because in truth, you men will always be boys.

As always, I can never have a proper ending to my blogs. I would always want to write more and more. Though space allows it, my time and mind do not. And, I never know how to end things. I always hate endings. What I can say is, guys, check out all the hot girls you want while you can. Just make sure when you do have a girlfriend or wife, don't make her feel ugly, EVER. Cherish her like how you'd always fantasize with someone hotter, and you'll be rewarded with the greatest brand of love you can never imagine from your fantasies. Better yet, know that they ARE hot in every single way. Hot girls are splattered everywhere around the globe. Girls, we simply rock, don't we? *wink*

PS, Personally, I don't think Henry Golding is all THAT hot. In fact, I don't think he's hot at all. Hmph! Jambu, sia!
