The Three Tans Unite

Enough is Enough

2007-06-19T21:32:00.000+08:00

That is the slogan of the Commonwealth government's campaign towards improving the quality of society- be it in the form of alleviating the problems of reckless driving, violence against women etc

I think it is pretty good. Just pondering over the words of the slogan which are sung in the advertisements on local television..enough is enough.. it reconciles one with the reality that there must a collective stop to these things in order for progress to be made.

The government can only do so much with its own hands and purview of influence..it is up to the larger society to make these changes..to come to terms with the fact that..enough is really enough.

Anyway, came across this lame Pokemon spoof. If you have played the original game and have watched the series, you will appreciate it more.

Hey all,

I think it's time we see some of Brisbane. Here are some shots.
Life at UQ is not so hard..as made evident by this photo

We have time to take photos like these

And also this..

We have some chaps leaving bags in some strange places..causing some alarm certainly..

My buddy Chin from Cheras cooks almost daily and he's pretty good..

The final result...

Nigel broke a tree at UQ...

Yep, hope this shed some light on what the Sunshine state is all about..anyway, we are experiencing a severe drought..some say Queensland will run out of water by 2009. Luckily, I graduate by then.

Till next time.

For the good of mankind, I beg of you.

Aunty ah...

The fridge is so huge that I can chop you into cubes and fit you inside.

You want company? Why don't I chop your daughter into pieces and fit her inside too?

For goodness' sake I'm only taking up less than 25% of the fridge and you're complaining that I buy too much of crap?

You're the only one doing all the groceries shopping so I guess it wouldn't make me Albert Einstein to assume that EVERYTHING in the fridge is yours.

I'm not invading your space, you are the interloper.

And no, I do not want to go out every night (like you) to buy 1 drumstick and 1 can of beans just so that I can cook 1 drumstick and 1 can of beans tomorrow.

I buy more to keep so that I don't have to make bloody frequent trips to Safeway.

Basic economics aunty, opportunity costs.

I don't fuckin' mind sacrificing freshness in drumsticks but I do mind sacrificing my time and energy to walk out into the dark and all the way to Safeway (not to mention the cold weather) just to buy chicken drumstick.

So when I DO my shopping, rest assured, I'll use up my 25% of space and you won't have room to invade until my groceries are depleted.

Therefore, QUIT whining already!

Blogging is a commitment.

It's like having to feed your pet goldfish everyday.

If you don't, it'll look like tasty machine guns and grenades to giant slime monsters in sewages.

Oh, that reminds me of Tupperware.

Freshness sealed in plastic goodness.

Mmm.... Spices? Nah we don't have em' here.

Unless you'd settle for Elven bread, would you?

Yes Mr. Lau taught me never to start a sentence with a butt.

But I'm starting it with a but.

Or did you mean start it with an assless?

However though, if you affix frogs and skirmishes to the already incomprehensible equation, you just screw everything.

Everything that ever made sense.

Everything.

At first it looked like this. (31st March)

A big lump on the shin in case you haven't already noticed.

3 days later... (3rd April)

The lump subsided and evidence of a bruise was just painfully obvious.

5 more days of staying-in-my-room-can't-go-anywhere-except-the-toilet-and-kitchen and voila! (8th April)

Considering X-ray and a cast if negative development persists.

Har har, very funny guys... Ok c'mon I'm serious, April Fool's was a week ago, fuckin' gimme my foot back already. I don't wanna have to pee standing like a flamingo anymore...

Blasted char quay teow.....

2007-04-03T21:23:00.000+08:00

Amidst the ongoing debate with Kenny boy that the blog is karat, I shall personally assure you, treasured 'angkuku' readers, that it is anything but that. We just encountered a little bit of communication problems among the moderators that's all. I thought Jinn was gonna post and he thought the other way round. Alrighty then with that out of the way, I shall embrace the task of posting about the Torquay trip. I know it's a little too late to be doing that now but I have some really cool pictures to share with you guys and as always, same old saying, better late than never. So here goes.

The OCF (Overseas Christian Fellowship) organized a trip to the Great Ocean Road, specifically Torquay. We had to meet up early (8am, yes to us it is very early) and yes Jinn we know that the typical ogre don't wake up early in the morning but do you wanna go or not? So we got the ogre out of the way, time to go. **Joshua the photographer guy tagged along so the "**" would be an indication that the picture was taken by him. Very good at what he does. You guys will see what I mean in a while.

See what I mean by ogres are anything but early birds?

That's our driver of the day, Aaron. Yes, Aaron we've all got our asses covered by insurance, you can let go of the hand brakes now.

Eh Kwan Chian you've got something to say?

There you go, the evergreen, universal expressive language for the deaf and the mute. Loud and clear man.. Loud and clear...

ooooo the Penang bridge~~ Eh Aaron, you drive pretty fast don't you?

** I'd hate to spoil such a beautiful artwork of the Lord but stated below, was what Yu Yee said.
Yu Yee: "Is that the border of New Zealand?"
Fai: "Go look up the word 'continent' in the dictionary and tell me what it means." =.="
We're in Australia for goodness' sake! New Zealand is like, THERE!! Go figure where.

** Another quality picture by Joshua. Give me a hand man I'm out of words here...

** By the time we were there everyone was dead hungry. Not to mention Timon and Pumba. Gollum had a yank at his favorite barracuda too.

Proceeded over to the beach nearby after makan. ooooo~~ yellow triangle... Toblerone... Heh...

Happy people on the beach. And the oh-so-familiar sight of Timon and Pumba having a go at each other. Yea he has a nipple up there. Ogres...

**44 flavors ice cream man!!! What was that you were saying? Baskin what?

** That sinister smile off his face can't possibly mean good news for you ice cream. Don't worry, I'll tell your wife and children you perished bravely before the malevolent JINN. You'll be a legend for sure.

** I had mango + watermelon and Yu Yee had passion fruit + stairway to heaven.

** Then Aaron brought us to this DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) area where brand names such as Billabong, Ripcurl, Oakley, Roxy and many more, were in abundance therefore the lack of pictures is totally understandable. We were blinded I tell you. It was an evil trick I say! An evil trick that smeared our grip on reality! (say oni la DFO still shit expensive.. bluff ppl wan)

** And there we were, at the surf shop waiting for the guys to suit up into their surfing suits. Hey, I didn't know Jinn could look so cool. *Geeez* Cracko...

** Once again, Joshua's golden touch on the camera snapper button has left me fumbling with words. Trying....to form......proper sentence........... Nice picture, guy.

Mr. Potato, Ms. Applegreen Goldfish, Mr. Lalaman

Oh there they go again. This time, 'gargantuan balls' was the main theme.

Aww c'mon guys... Don't let me be the only one again...

Heh... *giggles*

What cha complaining there? They made ME monstrosities for balls and made you a mermaid. How thoughtful was that Aerial?

** To round up the day, happy people on the beach...

Hmm... Nice picture of a hibernating grizzly you have there. National Geographic might want this for their program: Nocturnal Animals.

This is the epitome of a genuine gone case. Saliva was pouring out of that mouth like wine pouring outta that bottle. You should have been there man...

Jessica (right) the grumpy sleeping tigress. She'll suddenly jolt up and go 'ROAR NGAUM ROARRR'.............................. 'huh??'...... then go back to sleep.

Eh, I thought fishes don't HAVE eyelids?! Aww poor thing... An abomination of its species... I can only fathom the suffering she goes through with those eyelids... Let's slit them off...

Ok I'm done with the Torquay trip. On a totally unrelated note, I hurt my right foot that day while playing soccer and while recuperating from it, I noticed something interesting.

See right below my ankle? That my friend, must be rotten, blasted blood clot with a slight influence of rum and ginger, mixed and mashed with raisin juice.

No idea what I'm talking about? Neither do I........

Feeding the bullfrog (Part 2)

What have you bitches been doing in Melbourne anyway? : Part 1

2007-03-15T14:48:00.000+08:00

OKAY so blogger moderators really are working their asses off. Complaint made yesterday, problem fixed and customer satisfactory delivered today. Great job done. Fai happy =)

Sometimes when I sit down and reflect a little on myself, I'll think to myself: "it's time to grow up boy.." Growing up is a journey, lots of barriers on the way for you to leapfrog over. Be like me, run and run and run and run and run and... piak~~ crapss... Fall flat on your face or land your feet in shit or fall flat on your face, onto SHIT!, whatever it is, you end up in shit. Deep (fat) ones at times. I guess it is time for me to grow up a little but of course, deep down, I'm always that little boy who's always trying to have some fun. Stupid fun to be precise. But that's me.

Ok self-reflecting time over!! Time to entertain your treasured 'angkuku' readers. So yea, like I mentioned earlier, blogger purged the picture-uploading error pretty neatly so now I'm here, restoring the pride and honour of pictures as the masters of story-telling, to its rightful throne. Here it goes again.

Jinn's taking his routine lie-there-and-suddenly-start-snoring siesta again.

Let's do something to him.
Mel, and I thought you were the evil one? Is that all you can think of?

Unleash the dragon in Mel!!
Mel:"GROWL!! NGAUM!! Dare me samore la!! I'll show you who's the bitch!!"

Sorry Jinn.. Although instigating her was kinda intentional but yea, sorry..

Then we visited the botanical garden situated right opposite Kat's place. That's the shrine of remembrance of some kind la.. Don't remember la..

Closer look at the shrine, heh, our date.. =)
November 11th = Esther and Fai's birthday =)

Kick me once, shame on you...

Kick me twice, shame on me.

Then Monash brought us to a 'yum cha' session. It actually refers to a dim sum session and guess what they served along with dim sum? Not chinese tea, not chrysanthemum tea, not warm freakin' water, they served Coke. Err... How do you consume this liquid? Do I drink it down or do I suck it up my ass? =.="

Walking down the streets of Melbourne City and we bumped into Yanna. And yea I noticed that in the picture I kinda look like her bf or something. I shall reiterate, I love my Esther.

The view from Kat's place.

Then we cooked dinner together. And since when has Mel outgrown Jinn? Vertically of course.

Since we were so damn proud of ourselves, ok la take picture as remembrance.

Mel to Kat: "Eh his eyebrows very thick hoh?"
Kat: "Yealo..." (very innocent wasn't thinking of anything)
Mel: "Let's pluck em'!!" *Mel's trademark evil laugh*
Fai: "Crapss~~"

Come Chinese New Year, went into the city and we saw the longest and freakin' biggest dragon we've seen. See how big it is compared to the guy standing next to the mouth? GGNESS

Siberian Husky!!!!!!

And you thought Lord of the Flies would sound comical.

There you have it, a real life apple plucked from a real life apple tree.
Aussies: "Bloody Asians... Ain't seen no apple tree before..."

Hah you think you can pose? Watch and learn noobie.
Shades: Yu Yee's Sweater round the neck: Jessica's
Sling bag: Alice's Slippers: Yu Yee's
All the other crap: Model's own

Kwan Chian: "Sohai..."

Fai: "You say I sohai?! I do another one!!"

Jinn: "Is that all you've got you noobies? Watch me la."

Jinn: "BEHOLD!! The king of bullfrogs!!"

Yu Yee: "AAA my eyes!! I'm blind!!"

Kah Wei: "You weaklings are no match against my bunny suit!!!!"

Jinn: "..............."

Fai: "................"

Mel and Kat: "..................."
All kalah teruk-terukan...

So shocking it got Elvis dancing again...
Kah Wei, next time don like that la...

Ok guys... That's about it for now. Jinn's gonna post about our Torquay trip and a little here and there. And yea, if anyone of you missed out on the bullfrog video, don't worry... It'll be on Tancube indefinitely and yes, it is just right below. You're most welcomed Jinn. =)

How to feed strawberry-flavoured jelly to a bullfrog

2007-03-14T15:58:00.001+08:00

Upon finishing the video above, you can pretty much conclude that we're having fun here in Melbourne with our newly acquainted company. It has been very long since I updated. Yes it is true that they say internet is what keeps planet Earth in orbit these days so you can only imagine the black holes I got sucked into for the past few weeks. I have been deprived of internet and the aftermaths have been giving me haunting thoughts of dial-up internet and eardrum-piercing (freakin' mind-kaboomerating) waves of modem emitted supersonic mayhem.

Enough of that crap Fai. Let's not forget why you're here. O treasured 'angkuku' readers, the pride and honour of pictures shall once again be restored to its rightful throne as masters of story-telling.

Fuck man.. Blogger is giving me the shits. Can't upload any pictures. Apparently lots of people are experiencing the same problem. Stoopid blogger nah upgrade la upgrade summore... Switch from beta immediately gg-ed.. Ciss....

Next post la I'll put the pictures up.

MACC Scholarship Awards Ceremony 2007

2007-02-08T01:13:00.000+08:00

Hi all.

It's me again after a long break. Hiresh Tan that is.

I spent my last few hours in KL immersing myself in the 'above mentioned title' event. Attended this 'auspicious' ceremony with my parents and Chrissy. It was not really all that enthralling especially since the speeches were as interesting as marketing lectures; possibly less.

In fact, the first two speeches were almost too similar, if not identical. However, the speech delivered by H.E. James Wise, the Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia induced a few nods and occasional smiles from the small crowd. He talked about how the relationship Malaysia and Australia share continues to improve and that he hoped the 8 winners would be ambassadors for Malaysia, encouraging students and the other folk in Australia to study and make this country a priority tourism destination respectively.

Anyway, forgive my rambling. Here are some photos that will do more talking. Enjoy, fellow Tan supporters!

James Wise, Susan Cheah ( President of Malaysia Australia Alumni Council) and seven of the eight scholarship winners * notice anything unusual about the winners?*

The photographers demanded we pretend to be mingling with each other..we were actually comparing whose cert looked the best or which had a nicer, more 'sincere' signature from James Wise.. that's the kind of thing you can expect from your future ambassadors

Me letting my father build up his network of contacts

One of theStar reporters, Elaine interviewing Chrissy and I

The funny thing is I was the only male winner out of the eight. So, it was quite depressing especially when I related it to my femlae cousin who said that the reality "exceeds expectations" in a statement in which dripped with sarcasm ( Devaser, M. 2006).

I'd like to say thanks to all those who have supported me in whatever way they have. Whether it was a pat on the back, some advice and positive words or a silent prayer, I am grateful to all of you.

This goes out especially to God, my parents, Chrissy, my fellow Tan founders, Jinn and Fai, Eu Bing, Millicent, Bernard, the Indonesian lasses and single dude (Dan), William and all others!

I bid all of thee farewell and God Speed.

Yours faithfully and sincerely,

Hiresh

we're leaving, on a jet plane

2007-02-03T16:22:00.000+08:00

6 more days to go....

kinda on the fence about leaving for melbourne. Don't get me wrong, not that I'm not looking forward to it, just that it may be too soon. Spoke to fai yesterday, he feels the same. Really feeling the pinch now

Haven't even started packing, that's bad news..............

trying to sleep alot less but that doesn't seem to work, gettin up in the middle of the day all the time.

see, i've cooked up this really bad sleeping habit where i sleep only at about 6am or after sunrise. Talking about sunrise, i owe Millicent a post about our wait for the sunrise.....hehe, sorry mil, well yeah our wait for the sunrise ended with me not being able to see it cos there was this hill blocking it...sigh, poor me

so yea, this post is dedicated to all those who WE, i.e. me, fai, kitty and mel and not forgetting, soo ching, are not able to meet up with before we go. May we meet again in the near future.

And to our friend and founder of this tan ideology, Hiresh. Though we it is unlikely that we will meet again anytime soon with you goin to Queensland, know it for sure that you'll be close to our hearts.

to kenny, though you are now in KK and we'll be leaving soon, know that you'll be missed. take care of your self.

kimmi, who have spent many joyful moments with us, continue to shine for Christ.

Mil, though it turned out that you will not be joining us there, know that you'll always be on our mind and we anxiously await the time when we come back and meet up again.

XiangYi, the assignment days, with you buzzing around, will be missed.

Irene, always, so busy, always so hectic.

John Tan, though it is only a semester since we met, it seems like i've known you for years.

Esther pester (gorc), I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS, hehe. Separation may be painful, but rest assure i'll be looking after that big baby of yours.

to our friend, Bernard who's in the states, take good care of yourself.

a special dedication to:

Adam, a friend very dear to me, i'll see your ass when i get home

On behalf of Fai, to Kenneth, childhood friend

to the both of you, though we all share the pain of separation, it is only for a while

to those who are dear to us, for those who are related, for those we have known our whole life, for those who have shared our joy, pain and laughter, and even for those we know merely by name.

Good bye, and God bless

Esther Pester The Toilet Tester

2007-01-25T00:28:00.000+08:00

Yeap... That's how her cute and affectionate family members address her. Surprising and yet not so surprisingly, after setting foot into her grandpa's house and having administered a slight dose of cultural shock, I had a nickname of my own too: Andy Lalang Tani.

It took them a whole 5 minutes to come up with the name which, obviously does not make any sense to anybody at all. Great minds came together, brainstormed for a while, and poof ~~ there you have it. Andy not because I look like Andy Lau (he is totally out of my league anyway), Andy because my name Fai, reminded uncle tapper of Andy Faye who plays in the EPL (he's lightyears from my league too if you were wondering). There's the jackass down there.

Lalang because when Esther told uncle Nantha that my friends call me a lala, he heard lalang. Now you have Andy Lalang. Tani simply because lalang tani is a drink therefore, Andy Lalang Tani.

One of the many important persons in the family greeted me with a growl.

I'd normally and on numerous occasions, casually refer to your species as "ah wong" but since you're part of the family, ok la give face abit la... Hello Albert, my name is Huebert...

There's uncle Nantha explaining to us noobs the concept of a pussy.

Through meticulous observation during our karaoke session in Butterworth, I found out that Esther and Melissa can really sing. That's the easy-to-figure-out part. The hard part and by hard I don't mean hard-to-figure-out, I mean we (Steven and I) found out the hard way, that these two buggers love singing to Spice Girls' songs. GGNESS....

But that's not gonna bother me too much cause the Spice Girls ain't coming up with their 4th album. Hah! In-yer-face!

We then went to Mel's house where I met yet another "ah wong". This one is the guardian of her house and is deliberately named Teddy after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. Nah... Just kidding...

Then we met little terror "ah wong" Dinkie. His job is to spend all day lazing around the house and snatching attention away from Teddy by a wave of his cute little paw. Poor Teddy...

We diverted to a saloon near Steven's place for a haircut and since Mel wanted to dye her hair green, just like Captain Planet (inset), ok la go la go la...

And since we all were having a hairdo, Steven was reasonably unentertained to the extent where he got fucking b-o-r-e-d~~

Do I look like some guy in Star Trek? Probably that android who eventually turned into an 'auspicious' shellfish that Malaysian Chinese prefer to call, lala.

Dear dyed her hair purple.

And Andy Lalang Tani completed his transformation.
Now, enter the TRUE lala.

Then dear prepared my nails for a manicure. *Amatuers*~~

What?? Aw crapss you heard that?

Showing me your snout won't stop me from calling you a donkey you know dear?

Tis a coconut and a donkey. Taken at 'Bed' auto-city.

And tis obviously a tigress toying with its scared-shit and immobilized victim. Didn't your momma teach you not to play with your food?

She left a mark in 'Soho' Penang.

He left a mark in 'Monash' Subang Jaya.

He loves She very much.

Oh, by the way, she's Indian.

Penang + Langkawi + KL

2007-01-18T22:34:00.000+08:00

I see nobody (it's either Jinn or Fai anyway) has taken the initiative to post about our second Penang + Langkawi trip, it shall once again be my pleasure to narrate you fellow readers through our adventurous and perilous encounter. I know it's a little damn fucking late la but same old saying lo, better late than never.

We arrived on a sunny afternoon and as usual, Mel HAD to make us wait. That's Jinn Tan showing the sad face again.

After a scrumptious lunch, we went on a detour to Gurney's Toys'r'us and guess who was there to greet us? It was Patrick on a little pony!!

Jinn couldn't resist the temptation so he finally gave in and posed with his fellow underwater compatriot.

There was G.I. Jinn

...and there was Fireman Fai

Together, we make The Chaotic "Tan" Brothers!!

We then proceeded to Gurney's food court for a quick meal and yeah, judging by the picture, it is my opinion that Jinn still thinks he's a pink, fat starfish.

Met up with Kah Wei and bunch of us went to Soho... where Fai's face was slashed into half

And Tancube has now gone international!!

Aboard the cruise, en route to Langkawi island.

So who's calling who the lala again??

Fai made his sandcastle and called it 'Monash'

Happy people on the beach.

There's Esther caught checking Fai out.

And Fai checks her out in return.

We went back to our room and played sexy mak cik.. woot woot

and as usual, Fai joined in the fun.

Eh, look at that bugger there...

...looks like some innocent, unsuspecting bugger... Let's go do something evil to him.

Fai: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..............................."

And err... Don't ask me what's that.. Wa mm zai also...

Back from Langkawi and bunch of them Penangites came over to KL. Went to Cynna bar.

Boys will always be boys.

Steven took his shot...

...and I took mine.. Woohoooo

A couch, a guy and two girls

To end the night on a high note, we all went to have a drink at TGIF.

That's about it la.. Me very tired.. Sleep..............

Randomness

2007-01-07T03:12:00.000+08:00

Since I'm so very free now and the continuity of this unproductiveness will probably only lead me to thinking whether Jinn is dead by now (causation: murderous cockroach or blistering alcohol), ok la give you something to laugh about la...

Ms. Cheng Wai here seems to be showing a very stable stream of interest about the facial similarities between John and I. Therefore it is my pleasure to unveil to you all, the truth behind all these shit.

Unknown to all, Fai actually has some family ties in Sri Lanka.

That's uncle Dharshana and his son, Nuwan Gamage. Albeit the variation in skin colour, they remained pretty close and often exchanged sarongs. Woops...

John, on the other hand, is this normal average Singaporean, I mean, Malaysian guy you find on the streets.... of Singapore. Obviously a hit among the ladies...

...and Fai being the direct opposite...

...and more... But of course he wasn't alone, he had Joshua!

Joshua denies any connections with Fai, pretty expressly.

One day, John decides to randomly take a picture of somebody and that someone shall be his friend.

And he posed.

Eugene: "Hey that guy with the kitty cat, how do you explain this??"
Fai: "Err.... My kitty cat wouldn't do such a thing..."

Fai: "THEY did it!!!"

"Are you sure you wanna be my friend?"

"...because that guy over there looks like a pretty decent friend-to-be..."

...until Joshua saw what happened during recess.
Joe: "You still wanna be John's friend, huh?? He's mine I'm telling you!! Mine!!"
Fai: "NOOOOOOOOO............................."

John: "Alright we shall be friends... I dowanna friend friend that Joe... Hmph..."

Then John went on to form a boy band and called it "John's life" and they achieved rockstar status with their hit single "My long lost twin brother".

Joe decided to burn down Taylor's college.

Kwee Jin shocked the world when Queen Elizabeth announced that he's gonna take over the throne of England, ahead of hot favourites Prince William and Prince Harry.

Jessie became the next big thing in the camwhoring world.

And Fai...... GAH!!!

Sorry for the long wait guys. Like they say, better late than never right?
This time I shall be the not-so-typical Fai and cut the crap, go straight to the gist. Let the pictures do the talking.

Uncle has two Saint Bernards. Bugger huge dogs. Here's Icy...

...and this is Macho

See what I mean? Bugger HUGE.

Me Mum and me

The takes-my-breath-away view atop the Empire State Building.

And Fai decides to spoil the picture.

Maybe this was what that roach in the previous post was thinking about.

The U.S National Library. This was the place where they filmed "The Day After Tomorrow".

The church of St. Patrick. Definitely a sight to behold.

And why don't we get Apple Stores like that? The actual store itself is underground. Fuiyooness.

President Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the U.S, brilliantly said that. I wonder which country can this be directed to... Hmm... Nah, not particularly Malaysia la... Where got hoh?

And I found a story about John on a calendar in Esther's house. Pretty similar to your story huh John?

And last but not least, I saw Morgan Freeman on the streets...

4.07am

2007-01-03T04:07:00.000+08:00

i'ts 4am now, went to sleep at bout 2.30. wat am i doin up now u may ask.

well, i had to pee.

a task so simple, yet brings so much relieve that it is a moment to be enjoyed, a wonderful sensation, having emptied out your bladder.

yet, my moment was violated.

The beginning

you see, I woke up and was well adjusted to the dark, i could see without the lights on.Such superpowers I had. So, not wanting to lose my sleepiness, i decided to not swtich any lights on.

then there was the moment. a few seconds of paradise, the sensation when the bladder is being relieved of the pressure built up in it.

The Moment

it was just right after a burst of relieve shot through me that i saw HIM. He was right next to me, observing with silence, not moving a single muscle.

But I proved to be too good for him. my eyes caught a glimpst of his silhouette and my defence mechanism kicked in. I was robbed of my Moment. I was Afraid. I decided it was better to concede this round.

I retreated back into my room and tired to sleep.

as i laid there, i started thinking......

Why should i be the one who loses? the pondering began.....

i was big, he was small
i had 4 limbs, he had six
i had shieldtox, he had wings
i had shoes, he had legs
and finally, i was afraid, he was freaking out.

and War it was.........

The Battle

a long burst of Shieldtox immobilized the enemy, buying me time to run downstairs to relieve myself and gather up ammo.

Weapon of choice

options...........my shoes or my sister's slippers

my shoes?.......hell no

so, slippers it was.

Round 2

I went up to the battleground again to see him running around disoriented.

easy target, i thought

i stood there, waiting for him to come close by.

Why is it a He?

proof #1 - he had a bad sense of direction, even before the shieldtox
proof #2 - he had the collosal balls to watch me pee
proof #3 - he still came towards me, trying to attack even when he is intoxicated and knowing that i will win

Then the timing was precise, he came out in the open, close enough.
i took aim.............inhaled and held my breath......

DIE! the slipper flew into his direction

but DAMN! i'd missed........
so did the following three throws.

Strike 3 and you're out! miss 4.........just give it up.

Need backup

Then i heard the door opening, it was my cousin

"why so much of noise?" he asked......."Cockroach" was my answer

i handed him the shieldtox and retreated. he went against It, spraying it with more chemicals.

"squish it" was my orders as it came towards my room...
he said no.

"i will scream", i threatened back

then i closed my door and hope that it will end quickly with It being squished.
i heard some knocking and banging.

YES! sector clear. i thought
i opened my door and saw him standing there.

"it will die soon" was his words. what you mean it will die? didn't u complete what you were set out to do? apparently, the enemy escaped

sigh......you NOOB! because of you, it ran. because of you, i don't get to sleep.....

i have to be alert, for i know, HE is out there, waiting patiently, waiting for the right time, waiting for me to lose focus and go to sleep.

then he will strike, crawling all over my face as i lay there unconscious and get even.........

i know you are out there, and i will not go down without a fight!

5 minutes to Christmas

2006-12-24T22:54:00.000+08:00

Christmas.

The day people exchange presents. The day working people take a day off. The day people rejoice. The day people give thanks. The day Jesus Christ was born.

It is Christmas Eve and work is inevitable for me. Working part-time at Adidas Midvalley in case you were wondering. Right let's start. I'm here to share with you all a story about a passionate boy and his loving father.

A frail looking father helped his wheelchair-bound son through the entrance. As usual, the girls yelled out "WELCOME!!" without looking at the patronizing customer. Well, I tried telling them to at least look them in the eyes to express a minimal form of sincerity but crap, they won't listen. Anyway, a little detour there but don't mind that. Ok they came in and Gabriel, my colleague attended to them.

The boy was very intrigued by soccer boots. He picked a model, got him a size, tried it on, chose a pair of socks to go with, the father paid and they left. The father even insisted that Gabriel take RM10 as tips. (He decided to donate the RM10 back to the church) Then Gabriel came and shared with us the boy's story. The boy was playing soccer when he fell on a rock and got himself partially paralyzed. Now even walking is a big problem for him. He was a passionate soccer player and he still is. He watches the EPL on Astro and he probably supports a team. When asked, the father said he could probably never run again let alone getting back onto the pitch. It's such a pity something like that had to happen to him or anybody else at all. So in an effort to cheer his son up, the father is now getting him a pair of soccer boots of the boy's choice for Christmas.

It is God's will that things had to happen this way but God also gave him a loving and understanding father. I feel really sad for the boy. Even thinking about it makes me wanna cry.

So people, while celebrating Christmas this year, do remember that there's a boy somewhere lugging onto his soccer boots waiting and wishing that one day he could finally put those boots to good use. A simple prayer is the least you can do folks. Many others share the same fate so peeps, don't forget the true meaning of Christmas. Give thanks. Love and be loved.

Thank you dear God, for everything.

And who would have thought Americans are not idiots as suggested by Green Day in their song American idiots? Well you can stop mocking America you British hooligans who consider world domination as something that's bloody cool. No idea where that came from. The effects of jet lag come in many different forms I suppose.

RIGHT, back to the main topic. The US wasn't that bad. In fact it was great. So Fai you can now revert back to your typical self and start bludgeoning your treasured 'angkuku' readers with an arsenal of pictures.

You know I used to think flying to Australia is gonna be tiring (cos we're all going to Melbourne wooohooo!!). Blast that thought. Well, the flight to US was like the 4 of us being hit by a chain frost. Just that this chain frost won't stop jumping until we hit the ground. GG. We stopped over at Stockholm, Sweden on transit and even that took 12 hours.

Stopped over at Stockholm's Arlanda airport.

That says "No exit" in Swedish... Yea I'm just being lame.

Well if "Hiss" means lift then does hess mean left? Swedish ain't that hard after all.

8 more hours and we're in Queens, New York. Church in the middle of Chinatown.

Then we saw these cute mini apples. Yes, they're apples.

And this is even cuter. Too bad can't bring it back cos the US is just being a little too paranoia that it might be some suspicious liquid that I might use on the plane to assemble a bomb and blow em' jackasses off the skies.

We're going on a road trip........

This is one funny looking tree. And I thought the people here would have gotten over Halloween already.

Godly sight only the sublime Almighty can paint. 4.30pm US time.

Then we proceeded to the ever-so-colourful Manhattan.

A whole building that resembles a gift box. I wonder if they have rubbish bins that resemble Jinn??

...and so they do

Well yea it says Rockefeller there but nope this is not the Rockefeller building.

We won a lottery ticket!! Yea shortlived joy. Just $10.

Manhattan by day.

The McDonald's in Manhattan's Chinatown. I'd expect to see this in China, not here.

Then we visited Ground Zero, where the glorious World Trade Centre twin towers once stood.

Here remembering, 9/11.

Walk on walk on, 15minutes from Ground Zero was Wall Street. They used real gold to coat those word, and so my cousin said.

You know my Mum has a multinational family. From left: Aunty (Singapore), Mum (KL, Malysia), Uncle Ben (Long Island, USA), Aunty (Peking, China), Aunty (Toronto, Canada)

Went to mini Vegas, the Atlantic City. Local laws required that you be 21 to be able to gamble. There I was, just turned 19 and I wasn't even allowed to set foot on those carpets. Cibai palia guards. And I thought only Sunway/Monash guards were palia

Hard Rock Cafe Atlantic City. Definitely a very clearly worded warning sign. Red somemore.

"The horizon has been defeated" (Jack Johnson, 2003)

Well I shall conclude that the pigeons here have colossal balls.

They even have Ruby Tuesday. Nope not Tuesday, it's Tooosday. Americans...

I'm telling you, no wonder Americans are huge cos this is one person's portion of a plate of fried rice. Eh Jinn, come ah let's go to the US and we won't have to order doubles again.

Sorry about the floor mat man... I was hungry and I thought a little nibbling wouldn't hurt. Heh

I'm sure we're all familiar with liability limitation/exclusion disclaimers and so I present to you the declaration of liability and responsibility.

Well, no prizes for guessing who's perceived to be the easy target.

Armours, check! Mask, check!...

...here's your weapon and let's move your ass soldier.

After that we invaded Kenny's room. More like a junk yard that homes a KK boy. haha

The invasion was followed by a trip to Paris restaurant for dinner. Literally camWhores.

Now Jinn is sworn in as one of them. For starters, he mastered "The Melissa Pose". (TMP)

Errmmm.... whoopsie?

Ok, time to show off our spoils of war (yea referring to paintball).. Mel's

Jinn's. Only one of the many.

Kat got a headshot. Yea it kinda looks hideous here but it looks more or less like that la..

Kenny's. Hah, that's for chickening.

Fai got shot in the left ear and a little fake diamond-like thingy blossomed... ^^

Went to 1U after dinner and the camwhoring just continues..

Heh.. This shop sells greetings to Fai..

Aww~~ would you lookie at that....

But of course, everybody had their shots at it..

Mel, one day people might just think you're a kid. Kid's meal, kid's ride, what's next?

This 4 wheel drive managed to mount two...

And Kenny's dream of being Batwoman one day finally materialized..

Nobody had the balls to ride on this baby... No rewards for guessing why either..

That was when you and I thought, "eeesh one more week only I start studying la..."
Mil didn't think so and she'd probably score 4 HDs for starting early. But lets not go into that shall we? Story-telling time!!

We went to the movies and we bumped into this.
Fai: "ooooooooooooooooooo.... bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeee.....". Obviously very intrigued.

"Optic blast!" (Hiresh, 2006)

Ta-daaa!! The Tans' theme song!!

Kimber showed off her new phone. Everybody was amazed... except for Kenny

Hmph... You have I don't have meh now? Cis...

Later we went to Salmon Steak and Kenny, brilliantly grabbed the opportunity to demonstrate to us, especially Kimber the artistic potential embedded in him as vengeance. Things don't work that way Kenny...

Oooo look... Chicken bone on a busy road. Obviously this chicken run ended up in futile.

Kenny claims that the chain store is his. Hmmm... Well it has half his name on it...

Kenny: "Hehehe... I smart leh... Now Kenny Rogers is rightfully mine... Ngek ngek ngek..."
Yoda: "Smart, you are not asshole."

Hah, caught you on the phone with an implied term. Implied term = Bf

Taken on my balcony right after the haze subsided. Godly.

It's 11th of October, Kathryn's turn to join the alliance of the 20s and we went to TGIF...

...with two corpses.

Bitchy waiter: "Shall we elevate Ms. Kathryn to chair level?"
Bitchy Melissa (quietly): "yesyesyesyesyesyes"

Bitchy waiter: "Alrighty then, we're gonna sing you your birthday song now. You want the super fast version or the backwards version?"
Angel wanna-be Kathryn: "Huh? How do you sing a birthday song backwards? Ok la I want the backwards version"

...they turned their asses towards us and started singing. =.="

And Kathryn got her trophy.

A True Tan

2006-10-13T10:15:00.000+08:00

Hello all, it's been eons since my last post.

Anyway, today is truly a remarkable day for the Tan community.
In an extraordinary event, a Mr. Tan from the state of Malacca has purchased a car licence plate with the letters TAN followed by a single digit. Here it comes...the moment of truth..

-Brace yourselves-

He paid a whopping RM 200 K for it!

This Tan has shown his dedication to our cause. He accepts wilfully and spurs on the tradition of tanity.

Some food for thought. How much are you willing to lay down to support this worthy cause?
Try to be like Mr. Tan, his devotion has been invaluable. Dare to be different.

2006-10-12T17:52:00.000+08:00

I am in fact very enraged when I came across this in the newspapers. So very furious that I'd spare some time otherwise used to study business law just to reiterate to you readers what a crazy country we're living in.

Yes true, as said by Jinn (2006), do not believe everything you see in the newspapers, they are frequently regulated, more like filtered of shit so what you are seeing is only the tip of the iceberg. Ok la Jinn’s statement ends at ‘frequently regulated’ la… The others are mine la… But the thing is, if this is only the tip of it, you’d imagine that to say we have a bleak future ahead of our country would be an understatement. Jinn is like a big brother to me. He teaches me to be diplomatic. He guides me to becoming a better person that I’m not. He always says that, yes, indeed we are living in an unfair world and there is no point complaining about it. I am very thankful of that. But the fact that I’m complaining means that at least I’m aware of all these crazy shit and now I’m only notifying the people around me. Sorry la bro for complaining again but I really CANNOT take these shit anymore.

People, behold and beware.

You understand Chinese? Good for you.

Translation: (Smaller font) Crazy fella on a motorbike with a blade
(BIG RED font) Randomly attacks cars
(BIG BLACK font) Woman defaced

Basically, it is about a crazy shitface who has got a cuckoo bird up his ass, riding around on a motorbike in Muar randomly flinging circular blades at cars. Its like, you’re hit? Too bad for you lah… You’re not? Lucky you… And the thing is, he’s not doing it once or twice. Three cases have been reported and guess what? The authorities are on reasonable grounds to expect more. O me god… Me so scared man… Seriously, me am. The motives of this chicken-ass are still unknown so the good news is, he’s not robbing anybody. He’ll just probably by chance, slice through your throat, leave you there to die AND stroll off that’s all. He doesn’t even bother robbing you of your possessions. What madness is this??!!

I’ve always thought, all these snatch thieves, robbers, killers, rapists and all, maybe they aren’t going for the money and sex. They might be just going for the race. Wooopss… Did I just say that? Well hell yes. Are you people just jealous or what? What hatred have you got against the Chinese that you are driven to this extent of madness? Yes I agree the blade case is down to chance and that lady was just pure unlucky but what about rape cases? What about snatch-and-run cases? What about robberies? Sigh...

Yea I’m gonna leave Malaysia to wherever it is, settle down, get a job, make big bucks, come back to Malaysia (not to be Superman, Spiderman or join Fantastic 4 so that it becomes Fantastic Fai-ve… Wooppsss… to save the country from its catalytic destiny) Nope… Come back not to do any of that. Come back to bring my parents over, get them a house, help them settle down, get on with life post-Malaysia style.

Wake me up when the haze is gone

2006-10-09T11:44:00.000+08:00

The haze is killing us all.

And if you think the haze is bad, wait till you have a smoker at home and the first thing that goes through your nostrils every morning is second hand smoke. It's like waking up in the morning and realizing that your bf's dick is still stuck in your hole. I don't know how it feels like and I'll never do but one thing's for sure, I imagine it'll suck. A relaxed one should be bearable but imagine a "phallus" (hiresh, 2006) inside. Ok I'll put it nicely, it's like waking up and realizing that you've been sleeping on your own puddle of accumulated saliva all night and half your face is already wet and sticky.

Macibai Indons you like to burn shit right come la Malaysia. We have got lotsa excess, unwanted money that can be burnt. Money in the form of hard earned income tax contributed by the rakyat that can be put to more viable usages for example, economy-stimulating and country-developing purposes, rather than building some sohai complex on foreign soil.

The Banquet

2006-09-27T23:30:00.000+08:00

For those who have yet to catch the movie, parental advise is recommended.
3 words to be related to the show: bloodbath, draggy and slow-paced.

For jackasses like Jinn and I who have watched the show, so far we have 4 suspects in mind:

(Name list in no particular order)
1. The Emperor - He didn't actually die because he might have drank from another cup and there was no blood flowing out of his mouth so he might have been playing dead.

2. The charlainder(I'm not sure whether I spelt it right)/"sida" (KathyTanTan, 2006) - That fella is the only fella who gets to be around The Empress all the time. So who knows? She's crying and mourning there and he's aiming at her with that blade from behind.

3. The maid - She looked at Wan in a very suspicious manner when she dripped the poison into the cup. So, she's still a possibility.

4. The fishes - They were the closest to the empress so they might jump out of the water like Free Willy and flung the blade at her. Then conveniently fall back into the water. So the empress wasn't actually pointing at anyone at all. She was just dumbfounded that nobody actually killed her but she was dying.

Ok ok... I know I'm such a bitch for not posting. The Tans sincerely regret creating any confusion and inconvenience amongst you treasured 'angkuku' readers. Fai Tan in particular, apologizes to you all. Itchy hands can be cured by slapping Jinn Tan's face. Anyway, let's get down to business shall we? Wait wait wait, I've got a question, why do I see people using 'anyways' instead of 'anyway'? Cos 'anyways' sounds so wrong to me and I never considered the word to be in my vocabulary albeit its popularity among the people i know. So which is it? 'Anyway' or 'anyways'? Readers of wisdom, I humbly request your appreciated aid.

Ok la ok la start la... The pictures in this particular post stretch all the way back to the 6th of September 2006. Just to refresh your memories, that was when you and I decided that it's about time we started our law assignment. (don't lie, I knew you ALL started around that point of time and you were rushing like shit ait?) "Oi bitch where're the pics?" Ok la ok la coming la diu...

Just to kick things off, Jinn Tan says hello.

Hello to you too you retarded stuck up who has got something up your as... Err, i meant mouth. Yea mouth.

2 days later, bunch of us decided to go to Sushi King cos Melissa said there was this promotion going on. Oh, but the picture above does not depict Sushi King wor... It says BAR.B.Q PLAZA. Why ah? Cos somebody didn't realize that the promotion was already over...

Those were the sushis we ate. Oh I don't say? Yes, I do... Look carefully you'll realize they're actually sushis + elements of disappointment caused by the sudden disappearance of economic/affordable, on-promotion Sushi King sushis... Haha... Joking la Mel, glad that we went there la... Nice food

Fai: Contented
Jinn: You decide la, "the face is so disgusting it can cause constipation." (Fai,2006)

Small kid asking for candy from pimp daddy.

Hah, Mil, once again please do not ignore the warning that says "we will caught you!" (GanChinChuan, 2006)

Fai Tan here seen mimicking Afro Bruce Lee Tan. Yes, I was under duress. Tremendous duress. "Fai's face cures constipation" (Jinn, 2006) so if you've got any problems with your ass, the master is always here.

5 girls + 1 guy + 1 apartment unit = that many pairs of shoes or whatever you call it. And that's not all. See those arrows there? They imply that there is another pile on the opposite side of the pathway... Crazee bitches...

Then came 11th September (more often known as 911 prior to the incident when the word 'terrorism' was registered into people's mind). Not implying anything there. It's Kimber's birthday la for goodness' sake.

You might have seen this picture on Kimber's blog but just to reiterate how good the food was at Pizza Uno, you see it again here. Chicken lasagna and something something carbonara.

...and Kenny Tan ordered hot chocolate.

In the end, Kimber was a happy girl and she volunteered for some free advertising work for Pizza Uno. You get decreased advertisement expense and increased goodwill, how neat is that?

zzzz.... sleeping cat... zzzzzzzzz

Taken prior to match between Man Utd v Arsenal and Chelsea v Liverpool. The truth speaks for itself.

Once again, the truth speaks for itself. Taken at some back alley of the streets of subang. "AIG = Arsenal Is Good" (Jinn, 2006) And I just got news, Man Utd drew 1-1 with Reading Athletics right? Aww~~

A rare glimpse of the kampung girl version of Melissa Tan. Ponytails!!

Jinn: "This had better stay IN your phone."
Fai: "Ooopss... Terclick..."

Girls, graceful ain't he from the side?
If you were wondering, he's still single, available and free to mingle.

Whoooppssieeee........

We were being bitchy and we imagined that secret recipe might just cure bitchy-ness so we took a shot. Turned out to be a bitch catalyst. Sambil makan sambil bitch about others.

You finish everything THEN you stick out your tongue in disgust... Sigh, Tarcians... Oh don't worry Kat, I hereby declare that in this one case, Tarcian does not refer to you.

Unjoo. Cute big pop-out eyes.

Ok la be fair to Sheena also la put your picture here also la...

It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality

2006-09-06T17:29:00.000+08:00

ike Stated below are the lyrics for the song 'I write sins not tragedies' by Panic! at the disco obtained from www.lyrics.com. At least these are the original lyrics.

"Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...oh.

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for, a toast so, pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne. ("yes")

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing
the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again...

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No.
It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again..."

Ok. The lyrics are perfectly ok. But I'd like to bring to your attention the chorus of the song.

"I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No.
It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality

The first line says: "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?! No."

Ok, I'm not sure whether it's the censorship ministry's bullshit policy or hitz.fm/fly.fm's retarded sense of humour. If you pay attention to the lyrics when this song is played on air, they censored the word 'god' so it would sound like this:

"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the ---- damn door?! No."

Can somebody tell me the rationale behind this? You censor the word 'god' instead of the logical choice - 'damn'. Is there a problem with the ministry's censorship guideline or is it just me? What the fuck is wrong with the word 'god'?! Not as if you'd censor all the 'Allah' words in your malay songs anyway. If you're not happy with what I said, sue me for being a racist. I don't care.

The plight of [P] drivers

2006-09-02T15:11:00.000+08:00

Have you ever come across those aunties/uncles who gather round a table in a coffee shop and start saying shit about them P drivers not knowing how to drive? Well let’s see whose talking shit here.

I might be the only one around still with P stickers slapped on the front and hind windshields of my Proton Wira but mind you, P does not fucking equal to incompetence. I drove with no fucking driving license for one whole fucking year in Ipoh. No incompetent shit happened to me. Came to KL, still without a license, I drove to college once in a while. No retarded shit happened to me.

Got my license by June 2005, not that I had problems passing the fucking test, I was just lazy to go sit for it and that’s why I still have those Percubaan stickers on my car. A little example here, when a P driver commits a mistake, they’ll say: “P drivers mah… Dono how to drive 1… Must be kopi laisen la…” Like you people know a lot about driving. However, when a so-called ‘competent’ driver commits a mistake, they’ll say: “Never mind 1… People will evade me 1 so I can afford to be fucked-up for just a little while” or “Soli ah soli ah… My mistake…” As if saying sorry would make you unfucked-up.

Have you hypocrites ever thought that YOU might not know how to handle a fucking car as well? Yes the shitmaster is very shit angry now. Some incompetent competent driver rammed into my car while it was parked in a LEGAL parking bay. Now I can’t fucking open my front door.

So whose fucked-up now anyway?

For further reference on some similar shit, please refer to the link “Lambchops” on your right, July 07, 2006.

Pre-merdeka + post-merdeka

2006-08-31T14:45:00.000+08:00

Hah so Merdeka finally dropped by. So what did we boys and girls of Monash do? Sad to say, nothing related to Merdeka… No ‘Keranamu Malaysia’ and ‘Tanggal tiga puluh satu’ but we did sing ‘It’s my life’, ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Hey Jude’. We all had our hair dyed – blonde, very lala-ish blonde because according to Jinn Tan’s mum, you patronize at Red Box and you’ll come out with blonde hair and Jinn generously added that you’ll also have techno music that goes ~dum dum dum~ surrounding you and blue neon lights in your pants. Not forgetting the spiked hair, earrings/rings, cigarette tucked on top of the ear and a good command of Mandarin/Cantonese. Anyway, the point is, we went to Red Box and Jinn is now a true Tarcian. Once a Tarcian always a Tarcian eh? But before all that Merdeka shit, let’s venture 1 week back into time. Aaron came up with the idea of paintball. And so we went.

from left: Joe, Choong Khin, Fai, Ghee June, Aaron, Kwee and the two little ones in the front row, Jessie and Kimber. And so that's all for paintball. You must be thinking, wtf?! Yea... Wtf?! But don't wtf me, for the lack of pictures before, during and after the game, I blame Jessie, again for not bringing her camera. A camwhore without a camera?? WTF??!!

And so the next day, I travelled back to Ipoh and after 1h 15m of driving, we came to a halting stop. Unexpected as it is, we are experiencing traffic congestion on the north-south highway and it's not Chinese New Year yet. WTF?! Ok man chill, let's be patient and be like everybody else and wait in line. After 45mins of jam, I saw this:WTF?!! But in the end I still made it back. Of course I made it back.
Good ol' Ipoh.

And I'm back in the big city once again. It was Tuesday and after our grueling marketing test, we adjourned to Sunway Pyramid for a movie and a meal. Guess where did we go for that meal?
- pain in the as... I mean wallet -
Grilled boneless chicken.

Then the next day, Merdeka's eve, Jinn Tan decided to bring us all to dim sum for lunch in Puchong.
And er... about the lack of pictures before the meal, I blame Jinn cos he made me drive. However during the meal, I blame myself cos I was too busy eating... hehe

After our finger-lickin'-good meal, we went back to uni to attend macro lecture and whoever said 2 hours of Dr. Wan would not be ear-straining, was lying. Phoof, after lecture it was finally time to visit our beloved and long talked about Red Box. [Jinn: "I'm coming home!!"]
Mil (left) our superstar. Jinn shying away from the Red Box sign. You can run you can hide but sooner or later, "we will caught you!" (GanCincang, 2006)
Hah, gotcha!
Picture taken under duress. Forced to take a lala-shot, we call this.
Stop pretending to be a lala... You already are one.
Mil the superstar gives up and a new superstar - Kimberly steps up and takes the stage by storm

After experiencing an explosive session of karaoke, we went over to Ikano power centre to join in the Merdeka eve fun.
Then we went makan. Minced chicken something something lasagna and Aussie burger.
Then came 12am. Time for Cinderella to go home. =.=" More like fireworks time!! This is just a glimpse of the 7-9mins extravaganza. Recorded 3mins of it before my hand and neck started to tire.
After fireworks, we concluded that the few exits available are so jammed up and it would be almost impossible to get out of there without going through one of those jams so what did we do? Went to Nasi Kandar Kayu - full. McDonald's, bitchy full. What to do? It's merdeka mah... So we ended up buying soya bean drinks and sitting by the roadside, chilling... until 1.30am before chowing
Kirsty and Choong Khin
Debbie and Ghee June
Hah, guess who?

Chinese county clubs to death 50,000 dogs
Campaign against rabies prompts mass slaughter in southwestern China

SHANGHAI, China - China slaughtered 50,000 dogs in a government-ordered crackdown after three people died of rabies, sparking unusually pointed criticism in state media Tuesday and an outcry from animal rights activists.

Health experts said the brutal policy pointed to deep weaknesses in the health care infrastructure in China, where only 3 percent of dogs are vaccinated against rabies and more than 2,000 people die of the disease each year.

The five-day slaughter in Mouding county in Yunnan province in southwestern China ended Sunday and spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, state media reported.
Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said.
Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their own dogs before the teams were sent in, they said.

The killings were widely discussed on the Internet, with both legal scholars and animal rights activists criticizing them as crude and cold-blooded. The World Health Organization said more emphasis needed to be placed on rabies prevention.

Mass killings condemnedThe official newspaper Legal Daily blasted the killings as an “extraordinarily crude, cold-blooded and lazy way for the government to deal with epidemic disease.”

“Wiping out the dogs shows these government officials didn’t do their jobs right in protecting people from rabies in the first place,” the newspaper, published by the central government’s Politics and Law Committee, said in an editorial in its online edition.

In an editorial, the official Xinhua News Agency said the killings wouldn’t have been necessary if the local government had been more attentive, but called the slaughter “the only way out of a bad situation.”

“If they’d discovered this earlier, they could have vaccinated the dogs and ... controlled the outbreak,” the editorial said.

Pet activists call for boycottThe killings prompted calls for a boycott of Chinese products from the activist group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

“We are urging everyone to actively boycott — not a word we use lightly — anything from China given the bludgeoning killing of thousands of dogs,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said.
She said the group had canceled all orders of merchandise it sells that are made in China. Will Wright, at PETA’s European office in London, said the orders were worth about $300,000.
“We believe other groups will join us in expressing outrage over the blatant cruelty to animals the world is witnessing,” Wright said.

Mouding County officials defended the slaughter in a region where about 360 of the 200,000 residents suffered dog bites this year, with three people reportedly dying of rabies, including a 4-year-old girl.

“With the aim to keep this horrible disease from people, we decided to kill the dogs,” Li Haibo, a spokesman for the county government, was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

Calls to county government offices went unanswered Tuesday. Located in mountains about 1,240 miles southwest of Shanghai, Mouding is famed for its Buddhist shrines.

2 whole hours of crappy marketing lecture. Even MarkeTing Ding Hooi himself didn't know what kind of shit was coming out of his mouth. I doubt any right-minded person would have listened to him talk cock attentively. It's shit anyway so why bother? At least I know I wasn't the only person doing something rather productive. I listened to some songs in my mp3 phone, Kenny Tan and Jinn Tan were playing Sudoku, Praevin and gang were happily chatting away… The list goes on. When Kenny and Jinn were done with Sudoku (which I don’t really know how to go around) and I was bored with my songs, we played a little cross-puzzle where Jinn coincidentally figured out the final answer… Cheap shot… After 2 hours of living hell, I deserted Jinn and gang and went to the café with our bitchy team captain (Richard) who insisted that we discussed some strategies before the game along with a few fellow teammates. Praevin was determined to win the very first match at all costs and Richard was talking about effective football. Kimberly was with us. Pity the girl la… Whole bunch of guys talking shit and she sat there speechless, probably not understanding what we were discussing. Anyway, let’s fast-forward to the match part.

Jessie helped us with the group photo.

Nothing much happened in the first half so let's fast forward that also. =.="

Then came half-time. Mysteriously the ref was at our corner. XD

Then Fai won a free kick. He wanted to take it but Praevin said: "turst me trust me..."

Ok fine I trust you... Then what happened? Noob... hahaha

Then the second half was over and it was still a stalemate. Went to penalties.

Praevin converts with a cool head.

Opponent team's shot stopped by Marc. Fai steps up. Ready to pounce on the opportunity to take the lead.

Powers a low drive to the left corner. Blasts it home.

Opponent's shot yet again saved by a heroic Marc. Richard powers one into the net (well there wasn't actually a net but just pretend there is la). Match point.

Opponent's shot yet again saved by an agile Marc who made damn sure that today is just not their day. We're through!! Ahead of us are a bitchy team and we'll see who's bitchier tomorrow la... We have a super-shitmaster on our team --> [FAI] so no worries... hahaha

And about the lack of pictures of Richard taking his penalty and Marc making all the saves, I blame Jessie. hahaha.

Holy crap Hiresh you're actually posting something. I see a post in construction here, good job there Christina! Thumbs up to you babe! Anyway, I logged-in with the sole purpose of keeping this blog alive cos nobody really fed it and paid attention to it lately... And I was thinking, why don't we, the Tans, be gay enough to treat this blog as a pet so once in a while people would stop by and come around to give it a pat on the head?? A little gayness won't kill, it'll just make you become one-of-the-Tans. And since I'm the one who came up with this superb idea, I think I shall enjoy the privilege to give this pet a name. Why don’t we call it Nike? It’s simple cos my favorite pet dog was named Nike. Has been 5 years now since he died. Poor thing. Strangled himself. Refuse to elaborate but anyway, it shall be Nike from now on. Let the guilt haunt you whenever you don’t blog cos a pet (we shall decide what animal it is later) is being kept hungry, lonely and desolated cos of your laziness and all that procrastination. *Looks at someone who said he wanted to post something about cars around 2 weeks ago* Ok, done with the pet thing. Up next, something many would call, an act of impulse or “you-really-have-nothing-to-do-meh?” act of selfishness, I present to you, the oh so classical friendster questionnaires/surveys!! Ta-da!!

Service in the post office.

Hello.

I've come out of retirement for this short period to please Fai and Jinn, my fellow Tans who have been running the show without me.

Today, I went to Subang Square with Shaneil to get our electricity bill rectified. The simpleton who took the reading from our meter screwed up by overstating our electricity usage by 1000KWh ( Kilo-Watt hour for those who have you have never been exposed to terms in physics). An additional RM250 would have been forced out of our pockets if we had not expressed our displeasure.

Anyway, Kudos to Tenaga Nasional Berhad for their exceptionally prompt service (by Malaysian standards) which really left pleasant smiles on our faces. We only had to wait for a few minutes before being attended to by a nice lady who addressed our concerns superbly by responding very positively and presenting us with the new, correct bill quickly. I was really impressed and was hoping that my satisfaction would follow me to the post office. It was our destination because Shaneil needed to send a SIM card ( which he has SUCCESSFULLY sold by the way, Jinn) to a lass in Kedah.

Sadly, as my new-found satisfaction followed me to the service counter, it was impertinently stomped on by the apathetic staff who deemed good service to be the least important thing to them at that point in time. Firstly, they looked extremely reluctant to talk to me as they knew they would need to then converse in English. Never mind about that. Then, I asked them for an envelope so Shaneil could enclose the SIM card in it before sticking the 'Pos-Laju' label. Guess what?

They said that they didn't have envelopes.

Can you imagine? A POST office without envelopes?

I was actually expecting them to provide us with a complimentary envelope; heck, I would have even purchased one but they didn't have any! Envision a HUGE post office where HUNDREDS of letters and packages get distributed out almost daily and the staff claims that there is not a SINGLE envelope available. If that is not absurdity, you tell me what is.

We managed to find an envelope. Well, not a new one of course but the one which Tenaga Nasional had enclosed our outrageously high (wrong) electricity bill in. So, a round of applause to them for they saved us the effort of walking to the stationery shop to get the much yearned for envelope.

Anyway, more poor service plagued the rest of my time there but I shall not elaborate.

What I'd like to share is that many of us would be so quick to complain about all the poor service we get but sometimes we fail to recognise and appreciate the good service that we do enjoy once in a blue moon; like my experience today at TNB. Complaints always steal the show at the comments and opinions section of the Star but how often do we see commendations for sterling performances in the arena of service? It is true that perhaps, the instances of poor service offset the exemplary and decent by a fair amount but we should always be mindful of the positive input we receive and let our satisfaction emanate by praising them. By such acts, there will be spillover effects on those who have yet to buck up their attitude towards serving their customers. Effects that tend to rub off in other words.

Readers, always remember to praise any acts of good service for it is in giving that we receive.

Better late than nothing

2006-08-01T17:35:00.000+08:00

Same old quote, better late than nothing at all. The FIFA World Cup 2006 Germany is already in the history books for about 3 weeks already. In fact it's starting to rot and stink. The stench is everywhere. Blatant dives, intentionally hurting a fellow opponent, unsporting play, flying elbows, poor refereeing, etc etc... The list goes on and so as the arguing and blaming.

Ok the golden globe disputably/undisputedly (up2u to decide) went to Italy and here we have some REALLY talented nominees to contend for the golden elbow award.

In reverse order

10 Helder Postiga (Portugal)

Only used as a substitute in Portugal's games but still managed to light up Germany with an impressive range of blatant dives in the penalty box (and I wonder why). Has loads of potential to be a future golden elbow winner surely.

9 Peter Crouch (England)

Well the pictures say it all... Known as the football circus to Jinn Tan and chopstick legs to my mum, this freakshow fails not to entertain. Heading the ball to no-man's-land is his specialty but most of all, when he has the ball, he prefers stumbling over his craney legs and anticipate a foul-call from the referee than to actually have a shot at goal. Funny eh?

8 Fabio Grosso (Italy)

Yea he's the sissy who ran and cried when he scored that goal against Germany. The lanky left-back stumbled bravely into Lucas Neill's prostrate body. What's a guy to do? Win the World Cup, that's what.

7 Thierry Henry (France)

When struck in the chest by a pube-headed Spaniard, best to fall down and clutch your face. Chest, face, it's all the same these days. Thanks must go to Rivaldo for his sterling work in this field. Henry is a great player indeed (arguably the best striker of his time) but sometimes it's really an eyesore to see the world's best act like they do.

6 Florent Malouda (France)

He was all over the place in the match against Italy and Spain. Mysteriously falling over on numerous occasions despite the faintest of touches from opponents. Now I comprehend the frustration felt by the Spaniards after the match. Bunch of professional footballers beaten by a diver. Can't blame them.

5 Zinedine Zidane (France)

He's the genius. He'd score spectacular goals from any position on the field. He is the essence of football. Class oozes out of him even though its just a short pass but let's face it, he got mad and he let anger take control of him. Like a friend currently in Hong Kong said, "if you can't control your anger, how can you control the ball?" (Dai Wai, 2004)

4 Luis Figo (Portugal)

Q. When is a headbutt not a headbutt?
A. When it's a headbutt by The Great Master Luis Figo, swarthy master of illusions.

3 Daniele De Rossi (Italy)

Used an elbow in "self-defence" against American Brian McBride's dangerously square head. FIFA applauds you Daniele - you can have a winners' medal too.

2 Marco Materazzi

Scored in the World Cup final but will always be rightly remembered for his diplomatic dialogue with that French genius. "This Materazzi guy is so big, but I tell you what, I bet even Michael Owen or Jermaine Defoe could have sent him flying." (Shebby, 2006) Well, that explains it all. Aww~ you're sad because you got the runners-up spot... Poor thing...

1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Congratulations to Cristiano "Sissy" Ronaldo!! He plays like a sissy and he certainly cries like one and he has won the inaugural Golden Elbow award – quite a feat huh? His father who named him after the former U.S president Ronald Reagan must be very proud of him. I didn't know Mr. Reagan liked diving.... There you have it, Ronaldo with the international hand signal. No...who said it meant "Fuck"? "My students once told me, that hand signal actually represents Pepsi!" (MarkeTingDingHooi, 2006)

So there you have it, the nominees and the ultimate winner. If you think the way I arranged them is bullshit, please by all means, comment on it. That's just my opinion and we, the Tans want to know what you readers think.

The world is unfair. You're telling me as if I haven't find that out myself already.

Below are some pictures of a little boy. He's 8-years-old and he's from Iraq if not mistaken. Poor little boy had nothing to eat and he was starving. He comes from a really-not-affluent family so asking for money to buy food from his parents is an absolute no-no. So what did he do? He decided to steal some food from the local market. He got caught. "We will caught you." (Gan, 2006) As innocent as it may seem to us, who knew it was an offence so BIG to the so-called 'local authorities' that they decided to punish the little boy. Ok, what would you have done? Just bugger give the boy the food he stole and give him some money to buy some more later on correct? Ok I would have done that but I bet your decision would not vary too much from mine. But nooo... Stealing is a bloody serious and ugly act of selfishness + greediness (according to SOME religion) so what they did to the little boy? Witness.

Contemplate.

Ok let's move on to the war now. Not the war between Israel and Lebanon. The one between the U.S and Iraq. I know it's a little late but as I always say, better late than nothing no? So there had been talks about the Bush administration's brutality + cruelty + selfishness. So what about it? They say Bush ain't withdrawing the troops because of "certain" reasons and even in shows and songs we are seeing signs, obvious ones of American troops wanting the government to stop the war and invasion and they want to go home. Despite all the cruelty talks, here are some pictures demonstrating some acts of humanitary + friendliness shown by the troops in Iraq.

Personal favourite. ^^

Pity these pictures are not made public.

Finally, if I do get the chance, I'd really love to do this to Jinn AND see the looks on his face. XD

Life is choice, choice is power, Power is responsibility

2006-07-21T01:15:00.000+08:00

God gave us choice, the freedom to choose.
He never pushes people to accept Him, He just sits and waits patiently.
it is the human rational, the instincts we have that wants things to be resolved quickly,
that applies pressure to everyone to choose, and to choose swiftly.

As we make decisions and take paths in a hurry,
mistakes are always lurking nearby, just around the corner
Little thoughts have been given to the consequences of our decisions,
be it good, be it bad.

Why are we pressured to make decisions?
Why they have to be made yesterday? why not tomorrow?
Why can't we indulge ourselves with the pleasure to sleep on it and weight our options?

So much of information, so many advices
yet so little time.
The moment has come,
hitting me like a train.

The future seems so near,
A wrong move could spell disaster.
Choice is power yet choice is destruction.
The effects can't be seen, till it becomes severe.

The road to my future comes to a split,
and yet, it seems that i have been walking with my eyes closed,
till I overran the paths.

Now the time has come, for me to take a few steps back
To choose and Vow not to look back and regret.
Not to wish, Not to hope, not to linger in the past.

The choice is simple, yet it is tough.
I have to envision the end of each paths.
will it be glory, will it be shame?

My pride has to be put down, for it is heavy,
I have to come and humble myself, infront of God.
also to seek the counsel of the old and wise,
for them to help me, for their advise.

Accounting - Finance or Econs - Finance?
it seems so simple, yet it is hard.
both seems similiar to a fool like me,
I need to be enlightened, i need to have wisdom.

should I gamble, in this game of choice?
should I stand firm, and made heard my voice?
I have myself to blame, if I get tangled in this mess,
to get stuck, to get tied down, with the wrong choice.

will it bring delight? or will it cause sorrow?
will it be a good call? or simply a mistake?
the dilemma is great, and I am running late,
against time, that we all know will never wait.

An open letter to Satanists: Part 6 (gg)

2006-07-17T23:12:00.000+08:00

…That’s the only true lure of Satanism. When we get past the lies, the deceptions, the false perceptions of God, all that remains is the pleasure of evil. It’s the high a junkie feels with a needle in his arm. It’s the satisfaction a thief feels from taking what is another’s. It’s the ecstasy of the kill, the fulfillment of greed, the thrill of domination, and it always ends in pain and death, whether another’s or ours.

To be a Satanist is not to be liberated. It is to be bonded to death. The freedom it offers is an illusion. And this is something I know every Satanist knows, because I was there. In the dark and quiet, all alone, without the buzz of alcohol or drugs, or the rhythm of music to drown out the sounds, there is an empty echo inside us. A vacancy. A feeling of loss and cold and turmoil and hunger. That emptiness gnaws and hurts worse than anything else in life; we take up knives to carve our skin just to escape it, or run into the arms of a lover to smother it, but it doesn’t go away. It grows. It is death at work, emptiness causing decay. No matter how much we feed it SIN, it will never fill up. Eventually it will consume us, and destroy us.

The only thing that can fill that emptiness is God. The true God. Finding Him takes effort and courage. It requires that you hate the darkness enough to wrench the hand from the flashlight. That is something only you can do. But you CAN do it.

You really can.

It takes great effort, but the result is life, true life, in all its abundance and diversity. The life that only God can produce, because He is the only source of it.

I speak as the one who has traveled the roads, who has seen the land far and wide. My most heartfelt prayer is that you see this signpost, and from it, find your way home. Choose God. Choose life.”

...If we CAN get past those two things though, we can find the true God. A God of power, but compassion; of justice, but love; of fierceness, but mercy. He’s the Creator of the Universe who’s greatest desire is that His creation, His children, know strength, goodness, peace, love, warmth, joy, health and growth. That we are not left alone. Not abandoned. Not misunderstood. And because there is nothing bigger than God, the greatest thing God can offer to His creation is Himself. True Heaven is the presence of God. True Hell is the absence of God. That may sound superficial but God is love, light and warmth. To be without Him is to be in bleakness, darkness, and cold. When we see that truth, when we see who God really is, then we see who Satan really is too.

Satan is NOT the opposite of God. That’s the most fundamental error in theology. Satan is not darkness, while God is light. Darkness is simply the absence of light. Satan is less than that. Satan is the obstacle between humanity and God. Take a flashlight, shine its light on a wall, take your hand and cover the end of the flashlight. The light is God. The darkness is the absence of God. The hand is Satan. The hand does not destroy the light; it simply keeps us from seeing it. The light still shines, it’s just hidden or distorted from our view. Satan is a being that desires to block us from God and everything Godly. He’s the enemy of humanity. To be cut-off from love, light and warmth results in death. Satan is the bringer of all kinds of death – spiritually, mentally and physically. He is the deceiver, the tempter and the accuser.

In the Bible, Satan is simply a created being with no name. He is only called by what he does. He accuses us of our sins before God. He’s called the Accuser or Adversary. In Hebrew ha Shatan – Satan. The Enemy. He whispers in our ear to do that which leads to death, then accuses us before God for what we have done wrong. He tempts us to do everything God forbids in order to destroy us. That’s the true nature of Satan. He’s not an enemy of God. H’s an enemy of life.

The problem is humanity is flawed. We have within us an impulse to do evil, to do the very things we know will destroy us. Like smoking. We know intellectually that smoking leads to lung cancer, and yet it’s a billion dollar industry because we still do it. That is OUR nature. It’s a part of our free will. In order to be able to choose between life and death we have to have an impulse or desire that pulls us toward each one. Set two pies before a child, one apple, one cherry. If the child hates cherries, there’s no choice. He will pick apple every time. If he likes both though, then there’s conflict. Sometimes he will choose apple, sometimes cherry. Now what if he’s allergic to cherries but still loves them? They’ll make him sick. Which should he choose? Apple. But which will he choose? If people face hangovers again and again for the pleasure of getting drunk, a child will face vomiting for the pleasure of cherries. That’s human nature. (Human beings are irrational idiots as stated by MGW1010. Woo hoo!!) We will do that which is evil because there is a pleasure in evil that appeals to us as much as the pleasure of good does. Even though evil kills us.

An open letter to Satanists: Part 4

2006-07-15T17:20:00.000+08:00

…We’ve all seen how a cotton candy machine can take sugar and food coloring and spin it into a big fluffy mound. We stick our tongues to it and it dissolves back into sugar. Imagine a machine that could do that with air. It could take air and spin it into a big fluffy mound, all colored and textured. We pick up that textured air, touch it, taste it, eat it, and it seems filling, but in our stomachs it just dissolves right back into air. If that was all we ate, we’d starve to death. We could go on eating and eating, seemingly filling ourselves up, but be starving day by day until eventually we whither up and die.

In life there are things that are the spiritual equivalent of textured air. No matter how much we consume them, they leave us spiritually starving because they’re emptiness disguised as substance. Those things lead slowly to death. Spiritually, mentally AND physically. Anything that leads to death, which is emptiness, disguised as substance, God called SIN. Those are the things He forbids. Not because He’s a tyrant as I thought He was, but because He wants us to LIVE.

Worshiping an idol is sinful because it’s NOT God. It’s an empty cup. It may feel like something to us, but it’s not. It will leave us destitute inside.

Of course religions have their own lists of “SIN”. Religions take personal prejudices and label them as sins. Things like dancing, playing card, certain kinds of music, oral sex, have all been labeled SINFUL by some Christian religions. They’re not. God never declared them so. People did. Mistaking the two, either way, and it ends up badly. Religion stifles, oppresses, and leads to death. Sin empties, poisons and leads to death. God is NOT against us. His commands are to guide us toward the things that produce life, health, happiness, joy, growth, because God loves us. That’s the TRUTH of who He is. I’ve watched closely and I believe most people who turn from God do so for one of the two basic reasons. #1 They mistake some aspect of the religion as God – like Anton Lavey did. Or #2 They are unable to overcome their need to understand what can not BE understood. I honestly don’t think it’s easy to turn from God if we see Him as He really is. Every Satanist I’ve ever encountered has fallen into one of those two categories. They either have a warped, distorted perception of God, based on what they were taught by some idiot, or they don’t believe in the goodness or even the existence of God because of the injustice in the world. The first is a problem of perception. The second is a problem of pride. Both are hard to get past.

The only way to get past those false perceptions is to have a heart that sincerely wants TRUTH. God has to be sought after. Anyone who will settle for, and hang on to his or her empty idol of perception will never find the truth of God as GOD. Doesn’t it make SENSE however that the true Creator of the Universe is far beyond that simple, contrived IMAGE of Him? I mean, if someone told you a monkey painted the Sistine Chapel wouldn’t you look at those paintings and realize that’s a lie? The so-called “God” that Satanism describes, that so may religions describe, is very shallow, simplistic, and downright convenient to their own set of beliefs. Doesn’t it make sense that God has to be more than that? Only an honest desire to challenge those beliefs and perceptions and seek out that MORE will result in finding the TRUE God.

The problem of pride is often even harder. When we look at the world and say, “God can’t exist because this thing right here isn’t right.” Or we say, “God isn’t just or good because this part of life is totally unfair.” What we’re actually doing is declaring ourselves equal to God. We declare that the world, and God Himself, MUST fall into the parameters of our own understanding or it simply is not so. We declare, “God can’t be good unless I can understand that goodness. It has to fit MY definitions.” That’s pride. To a wino, a “good” God is one who provides him with free booze everyday and grants him no hangovers. No matter who we are, our own ideas of good and evil, right and wrong, are skewed to our own personal tastes and perceptions. To demand those of God is megalomaniacal. Imagine a 4 year old child declaring you are BAD because you make her eat food instead of candy, and you won’t let her watch Friday the 13th. That’s the same thing we do when we judge God because we don’t understand the world. Only letting go of that PRIDE and acknowledge our tiny size compared to God’s will overcome that, and too often that’s the one thing prideful people will never do.

…I never saw any of that while I was a Satanist. I never fully understood Anton Lavey’s philosophy until I was in my 20’s. Anton’s error was to see religion as God. He saw the lie of religion and the unfairness of life and decided there was no God. I saw the misused authority of my parents and decided THAT was how God was. So often that’s our first grave error in our search for truth. We perceive life through the narrow experiences of our tiny portion of the world and draw our conclusions about the whole universe from that. It’s normal, but it’s also disastrous.

The fact is nearly everyone forces God to fit into his own perception. Even Christians serve a God they perceive rather than the God who truly is. They limit Him according to those special needs of their own psyche. It’s actually hard not to do that, but every time we do, it has consequences. Seeing God for who He is takes effort, and always has one inevitable result that MANY people cannot accept: Our understanding will always fall short. We will always look toward God and eventually say “why” or “I don’t understand this,” about SOMETHING. That often drives people to come up with their own conclusions, their own philosophies, religions, etc. We demand the right to know God with assurance, in every area, but the very fact that He is God precludes that it simply CANNOT be. A glass of water is not capable of holding the ocean. That limitation is hard on our egos.

It’s so much easier to create our own gods; gods that are fully knowable. Those are the gods of atheism, occultism, religion and sometimes even Christianity. Then of course there are those prejudices that we demand of our gods. Women who take offense at a “male” god and so create for themselves a female or neuter god. Then we have all the racial gods, the black gods, white gods and cultural gods, the Spanish gods, African gods, Indian gods, etc. All of them called GOD. And yet none of them are truly Him. Some may be tiny glimpses of Him. Maybe His big toe or little finger, but nothing more. Others are not even that. They’re only delusions from our prejudices.

Getting past all that to see the true GOD, the real creator of the universe took me years. Understanding why the Bible refers to Him as it does is a good place to start. We can’t relate to the Creator as He is. He’s too big. How can an ant relate to a person? How can a grain of sand relate to a desktop computer? The Bible calls God “Father” not because He’s male, but because of the relationship of a father to a child. God is as much female as He is male, and neither. (The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, appearing in the very first chapter of Genesis is female.) To get even close to defining God as He fully is we have to take every role a person plays in our society and add that to God’s title: Father, Mother, friend, king, lord, boss, brother, sister, judge, jury, lawyer, teacher, executioner, savior, etc-etc.

No single image can contain Him. He will fill it up and overflow it until it bursts apart. But realizing THAT very thing about Him is the first step toward seeing Him for who He really is. That one thing alone cuts through much of the prejudiced images. Unfortunately today’s society seems to have gone the other direction. Any image of God is acceptable as God. However you choose to worship God is okay.

No. It’s not.

Because those images are NOT God. They’re empty cups. And this is the basis of everything the Bible calls sin. My gosh this took me years to understand, wading though all the nonsense that so much of “Christianity” is today. There is a reason for all of God’s commands. ONE reason for them all. A very simple one. They are all a matter of LIFE and DEATH.

An open letter to Satanists: Part 2

2006-07-14T15:27:00.000+08:00

… So Satan became a liberator. Satan was a being who had rebelled against God’s tyranny, and been cast out of Heaven for it. But he must have had something going because a third of the angels had sided with him against God. They saw the truth. There was a better way to live. A more natural way. The way the animals did. With no arbitrary rules. No “sin”. Just freedom. That’s what made me a Satanist. I knew I was evil, but my concept of evil was freedom. It was just a word. What people called “evil” felt good. It satisfied me. If I had no money and saw something at the mall I wanted, stealing it satisfied my desire for it. I never set out to hurt anyone. I never embraced Satanism as an excuse, a permission slip, to prey upon others. I embraced it because it made me feel free.

It took me years to fully understand the flaw of that philosophy. It took me even longer to fully understand who and what Satan really is. He went through several incarnations before I saw it clearly too. I guess the most startling realization I had was when I really studied what the Bible said about Satan, Lucifer, and his fall from Heaven and discovered what the church teaches is NOT necessarily so. I wrote an entire study on it breaking it down, (The Doctrine of Lucifer) but the short of it is the whole myth of Satan as an archangel called Lucifer, who led a rebellion against God with a third of the angels, and became known as Satan, is just that. A myth. It’s a fourth century church doctrine that came from an Ugaritic myth about the Northstar trying to take the place of the sun in the sky. A thousand years, and a man named John Milton, a poet, made the story popular it became a deeply ingrained part of the Christian dogma. The truth is however; Satan was never called “Lucifer” and never led the choir in Heaven. The Satan of the Bible is very different from the Satan of church dogma. The fact is, it’s almost impossible to understand Satan until we understand God. Our image of the One is always greatly determined by our image of the other. In prison I found out who God really was, who He is, and that too took some time. I had seen God as an arbitrary rule maker. He made His rules the same way my parents did. The reason was, “because I said so!” But that was a false image of God. The way Anton Lavey saw God was also affected his view of Satan.

Any disciple of the First Church of Satan knows Anton’s biography. He was a police crime photographer and saw all the violent and evil deeds done by humanity. He saw the unfairness of life, and decided God wasn’t real. That was a big surprise to me when I realized it. Anton Lavey was actually an atheist. Anton did NOT believe in a Creator God. To him, God was a figment of the imagination and psyche, and the myth of God was perpetuated by the Church. To Anton, the Church was Catholicism. The Roman Catholic Church was a world of power for a thousand years, and its religion, the evil and emptiness of it, he saw it for what it really was, and he concluded that GOD was just an ingeniour myth, a part of a scheme to control people. Any natural desire a person had was labeled as “sinful”. Because it was a natural desire no one would be able to control it, so they would always be in “sin”, and the only way to be forgiven for that “sin” was to go to the Church and do what the priest told you. With the consequences of eternal damnation or the reward of eternal life, even kings would bow to the Church. It was all just a scheme. There was no “God”.

So Anton Lavey turned to the opposite ideal. He made what the Church called Satan, the liberator of that scheme. But to Anton, Satan was NOT a real being. If there was no real God then there was no real Stan. To him, “Satan” was the force that causes “sinful” desires. The so-called dark part of our psyche. Satan was represented in every culture by the darkness. Anton called this force a hundred different names, Abaddon, Belial, Baalzebub, from the Bible, the names of gods Israel was not supposed to worship. Lillith, Dracula, the names of vampires from ancient folklore and fiction. Satan was always represented by all these things because Satan was a base part of humanity itself (there you go Bing). WE were Satan.

Satanism to Anton Lavey was the celebration of that part of ourselves. His rituals were parodies of Catholic rituals. His philosophy was to embrace that “darkness” within ourselves since it led to pleasure and pleasure was the real aim of life – after life there was nothing. No heaven, no hell, just the grave. We cease to exist.

I wouldn’t say this is controversial but… depends on how you look at it la… Before I proceed any further, I must tell you guys (especially Christians) that I’m going to separate this story into a few posts and this story is NOT of an anti-Christian nature (although at first it may sound a bit like it).This is a story about a man named Sean Sellers. He is, well, a Satanist. He was imprisoned for murdering his own parents and he was eventually executed on the 4th of February 1999. The good news here is that he actually converted into a Christian before he was executed and this is his story.

"I was 15 years old when I became a Satanist. Today I’m 29. 15 was a lifetime ago. My concept of Satan and God back then was so different from what it is now. At 15 we really do think we know so much, but lock a man in a box for a few years alone, let him get to know himself, let him grow and look again at the world, and what he sees is a world very, very different from the one he perceived at 15.

You know, I had the Satanic Bible practically memorized when I was 16. I’d read that book easily a hundred times. But I didn’t understand why Anton Lavey (more commonly known as the founder of modern Satanism – for more info, Wikipedia him) wrote some of the things he did. I didn’t comprehend Anton’s ideology, his image of Satan or the devil. That also took years.

Back then I saw Satan as a friend to humanity. But that was based on my concept of God, so I guess there is where I need to start. I knew God was the Creator, but the image I had of Him was like some adult. Some authority figure supreme. What did adults do? They made me obey and serve them. They made me clean the house, mow the lawn, fix their drinks, and it was always when they said so, no matter what I was doing at the moment. I’d be watching TV in my room and my dad would holler at me. I’d come to the living room and he’d be sitting in his recliner with his feet up, an empty cup in his hand. “Fix me another drink,” he’d say, handing me the glass. He worked all day, so when he got home I served him. I was just a kid after all. What did it matter if I had been at school all day and had football practice and done homework? What did it matter if I was missing some stupid movie? Of course when I obeyed I was praised. When I did my chores I was given money. That was authority to me. That was God to me. God had His rules. And boy there were lots of them! He demanded you to do things His way, how He wanted, when He wanted, never mind what you wanted. If you obeyed, He’d reward you. Heaven. If you disobeyed, He’d punish you. Hell. There was no freedom there.

And because I saw God like that, Satan grew to become a liberator from that arbitrary authority. Evil represented freedom. If I did what I wanted, that was evil. Well…evil felt good. Everything God required was stifling, oppressing and full of rules. If I got mad and wanted to cuss back what was so wrong about that? If someone hit me what was so wrong about hitting him back? If I wanted to have sex what was wrong about it? What was wrong was that God said it was wrong. That was it. That was the only thing that made it wrong. Well… to hell with God then! Who cared about His stupid rules? Satanism said not only were God’s rules arbitrary, they were designed to keep us frustrated and controlled. It was natural to want sex, and to get angry, and to defend ourselves, and natural meant right.

Why reading the papers can be a bad thing.

2006-07-10T14:58:00.000+08:00

Hey all.

I'm sorry I forgot to announce my unplanned hiatus.

Anyway, I started reading the newspapers again this morning; the Straits Times of Singapore to be precise. It gradually dawned on me why I dislike reading the newspapers sometimes. Besides the copious blocks of words which already serve as a disincentive to pick it up, the kind of news published also leaves a very stingy impact on me. News about death and strife plagues parts of the Straits Times.

Here are just a few of the headlines:

'137 killed as plane bursts into flames in Russia'

Survivor: "It was awful. I saw people burning, they were burning."

'41 Sunnis killed in Shi'ite rampage'

'Home Alone'
Many children in rural China left to fend for themselves while parents look for work in the cities

It was an immensely bitter pill to swallow as I read those articles. Knowledge of suffering and pain in this world of ours has a very adverse effect on me. Firstly, it makes me remember that such things exist. Secondly, salt is rubbed into the wounds when I realise that my plights are so minute when compared to what others HAVE to endure.

We take many things for granted. The fact that we coexist harmoniously in Malaysia is not something we enjoy by chance but by the hard work of politicians of the past and present plus our forefathers who embodied the 'bertolak-ansur' spirit. Some of you may argue that though we live harmoniously, traces of racism still exist albeit in a tacit form and that some racial groups still keep to themselves. This is undeniably true but have you considered the situation in Baghdad, Iraq? There is INTRA-religious conflict there for goodness sake! The Sunnis and Shi'ites have been fighting for decades and there is no sign that the heat between these groups is letting up. Thus, what he have in Malaysia is something that we should appreciate and not complain about. We should even strive to make the situation better!

Children in rural China are beginning to feel more 'unloved' as their parents head to the cities to earn their livings. Yes, jobs in the city pay better but it seems that what these children really want is their parents to be with them; to be a part of their lives. One child summed it up by saying, "But I don't care about a better life. I just want them to be at home by my side."

Doesn't seem like what many of us would say, right?

Then, I began to question why these things happen to them and conversely, why didn't they happen to me. What have I done to deserve so much more than them? How did I get to be the lucky one? Why did God choose it to be this way?

I don't know the answers to these questions but what I do know is we should be appreciative and thankful for what we have.

So why pick up the paper? Isn't ignorance bliss? Why bother to know all these things when you know it's going to hurt you? Maybe that's why we were chosen; we have the capacity to make a difference as our stable environments permit us to do so.

So my friends, as much as it hurts, pick the papers up and find out what's happening. As Shaneil put it, " Stop assuming and start realising". Believe you can make a difference; pray for those who are suffering. Have faith. We were chosen so that we could help them. Don't think of doing the big things when the little things are right under your nose.

Open your eyes. Or rather, let your eyes be opened to the truth. Stop assuming and start realising.

Hey all... It's been a very long while since I, the mightyly glorious FAI, posted any shit. (No idea why I said that) And yes, I almost forgot that I have been entrusted with the job of posting some nice pictures on this blog. Actually, my mind was bent on posting some controversial shit so be grateful that I suddenly don't feel like it. (Save it for the next post la)

Ok here are some pictures from our little Penang trip that Jinn missed out. I know it's a little late but, better late than nothing right?

(Taken on some Penang beach) That's for fucking losing to Italy.

At the sight of this "comforting" notice, we instinctively checked the tyres.

Turned out to be HUA QING - made in China.

That's "Kenny, Sylvester and Cartmund"

See who's offering a job. ----------------------->

Pictures below depict Fai Tan and his fellow ex-Taylor's-mate on a one day trip to Genting Highlands.

She, I mean he's so lucky...

Ok then from here onwards are some stupid pics I found on the net.

For fuck's sake....

This ain't no funny pic, she's the miss Sri Lanka. lol

Penang has been TAN-ed

2006-06-30T01:26:00.000+08:00

Woot came back from a 3D2N trip from penang. Melissa's fren, Esther is now Esther Tan :D. alot of fun things happened. fai's name is now also a verb, being part of lalafai (as in magnify, amplify, etc.). it means as an action done when one is spreading lala-ism to those around him.

ooOOoooo penang penang

too bad hiresh didn't come....fai tan missed him so much till he started blabbing out lame jokes non stop in the car today.

Penang wass sooooooo fun!! ate so much till fai and me ended up "leaving our marks" (crapping) 3 times a day.
Melissa Lim Tan drove us around in the TAnMobile (it's a black wira with TanCube scribbled all around it).
The car is super filled with stuffed toys
and our main star-> SYLVESTER TAN!!!!

Melissa was super steady(ganas) while driving, so un-ladylike hehehe. claims it's in the penang blood. salute her driving (i'm serious, she's a rather good driver). Not so much for the lady-driver stereotype anymore.

fai ate so much he started levitating
my camera decided to censor fai's jewels. kekeke

see those peeping toms?

<-original lala

fai was missing hiresh so much that he started to look different. Went to the beach and found some kinda glowing blue sand. 1st time seeing things like this. Probably the sand could sense the strong presence of the "Original Lala" that its started to glow.
melissa saw superman

Tadaaaa

Hello Kitty!!!!

the Tan family!!!! hiresh's missing :(
poke the jinn

had some dessert at "ICE ICE BABY" ahaha..... fai tan trying to suck his mango lou yeh from a distance.

melissa getting stoned by her mango dessert

Dear government

2006-06-30T01:09:00.000+08:00

Ok folks, Jinn Tan said he wanted some elements of controversy in our blog so I suppose racist Fai Tan is the perfect candidate for the job la. I posted this a few weeks ago but I took it off cos it was an eyesore to 'somebody'. Ok like everyone else in the Tan family, I've come up with a quote of my own: "Call me a racist, I don't care." (Tan, 2006) It's like this, like Jinn Tan always says, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So it's up to you to decide whether I'm a racist or not la... Personally, I think I am.

Ok this couldn't come anytime better. I'm not sure about english papers but today's Sin Chew says it all. The government once again the culprit, made headlines.
Selangor education department: Next month onwards, classes in Chinese primary schools will be shortened.National education department: Latest by July, everything will be solved.
Ok this is the way Sin Chew put it: "Shortage of teachers in Selangor worsens, primary schools forced to shorten classes?" Not long ago, Pahang state had similar problems and now it's Selangor's turn. They claim that classes will be shortened from July onwards because the schools cannot afford to pay highly demanding teachers in the long term and this move is to ensure that this extra burden can be taken off the parents' shoulders. That is what the Selangor side said.
Whereas the deputy education minister Datuk Wong said, 571 freshly trained teachers will be evenly distributed among schools that suffer from this shortage of teachers by the 15th of June. Latest by 1st of July.
You might be thinking, WTF??!? On one hand you say that schools in your state have to cut short their classes and on the other hand, your superior says that everything shall be restored to its rightful state by July. Both statements are made at the same time. A principal who did not want to be named revealed that, the Selangor education department did this and it looks like as if they are doing it to help principals minimise costs but in fact, they are 'giving them a direct order' to do so. They are leaving them with no other alternatives but to comply. You might ask, what about subsidisation by the government?
Ok if you have not read my previous post, please do before proceeding. If you have, here goes. Now you think for yourself, what is the government trying to do? Stated above is all the facts. I'll leave the interpretation part to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok apart from all that shit, good news for the Tans. The surname "Tan" is officially the surname borne by the most number of Chinese. Hiresh Tan you're a genius.

Being the sole blogger

2006-06-27T08:56:00.000+08:00

I'll be the sole blogger over these few days as the other Tans have packed their bags and gone to Penang in search of new ways to realise and appreciate that we all are Tans. Hopefully, they'll also come back with a handful of new and exciting jokes which bring honour to our blog.

In the wee hours of the morning before dawn broke, I caught the last half an hour of the Ukraine-Switzerland clash in the comfort of my navy blue sofa which hasn't been aired out in a while. The match ended in a deadlock . Thus, extra time went underway and that portion of the fairly paceful match also ended with no smiles from either of the countries.

The penalty shootout then commenced; that part caught my eye. I was very depressed to see that the Swiss team was deeply overwhelmed by the pressure which encircled them, this pressure being manifested in the form of loud cheering and jeering of the crowd plus the very apparent confidence of the Ukrainian team.

The Swiss lost 3-0 on penalties and I reckon it was not because the Ukrainian keeper was fantastic but rather, it was the fact that they let the pressure get to them. It was scribbled prominently on their weary faces which were plagued by frightful eyes and beads of sweat ( probably cold). The first guy from the Swiss the team whacked the ball tamely down the centre hoping the keeper would dive either way. However, the shot was too tame that one could deem that the keeper had domesticated that penalty taker to render him a nice, slow shot. The second Swiss guy footed the ball really well only to hit the cross-bar which rocketed into the sky but I think his face was longer than the distance traveled by the ball when it was deflected.

Some of you may say his shot could merely have been a bad bout of luck but I think he lacked the confidence when he took the hard shot; I'm certain it would have gone in if his mind had been stronger. Lastly, the third Swiss guy plummeted the ball to the right but the Ukrainian keeper was the wiser of the two.

Basically, how the winner was determined in this anticipation-filled match boiled down to which nation could take the pressure in their stride. It was no longer a contest of skills and strength but of character and in this way, the Ukrainian team prevailed and the Swiss team faltered.

So, ladies and gentleman, don't ever compromise the opportunities of builiding your character in all your endeavors and pursuits. Be it in your studies, your games and relationships - always seek to grow in character so that you will always be strong in times of hardship and compromise.

My dear people, the much-awaited moment has finally arrived. * Drum roll ( Not Bing's sarcastic one)*. It is time to immerse our minds with some jokes.

How many heads do people have?

Five. They have 1 head and a 4-head.

One day, I overheard my right hand talking to my four fingers.

It said,"Where did my thumb go?".

The fingers replied, " He drove to Alabama".

My hand replied enthusiastically, " Wow! I've never seen a thumbdrive".

How do you cool a stadium ,in which a soccer match is taking place, when it gets too hot?

Simple; you let in more fans.

Love,
Hiresh

Driving lessons

2006-06-24T13:44:00.000+08:00

Hello all.

I had my first driving lesson yesterday; it was really good. I drove to Bangsar, Jalan Gasing ( up the hill there) and Seksyen 17 I believe over a period of three solid hours. My instructor is really a cool guy who wears his shades practically all the time. His name is Mustapa and if you do a direct Malay to English translation and vice-versa, you'd get Mestiwhat. Get it? If you don't, drop me a comment. Mustapa is also Shaneil's instructor. Chrissy and I went to sit at the 'Pondok Penguji' to see how Shaneil performed at the hill start. Haha, the poor guy stalled twice because of our 'intimidating' presence but he's a really proficient driver considering he last held the steering wheel in 2004. So, good on ya mate!

Anyway, the primary purpose of me staying in Malaysia this week is to get as many hours of driving completed. It seems like I'll be able to get 8 done before I return to my homeland, the land of the Tans. Will be spending about 2 weeks there meeting with my buddies who are currently 'owned' by the Singapore army plus those who are waiting to commence their degrees.

It's just come to my knowledge that Jinn, Fai, Princess and Kitty are heading up to Penang for a holiday this Tuesday. Haha, they invited me to join them all but it's a 'no-can-do' situation for me due to driving. You all have a great time!

OK. Time for lame jokes.

Which part of your body is Spanish?

Your El - Bow.

This is not really a joke but could this be what the Ghana coach could possibly say prior to their match with Brazil? Take a whiff of this:

Interviewer: How does your team feel about having to face Brazil in this clash of the underdog and World Cup favourite?

Ghana coach: I'm pretty confident we're Ghana beat 'em.

Haha! Jinn, I'm sorry to say that your Ghana dream will be over in a matter of days.

socceroos!!!!

2006-06-23T05:18:00.000+08:00

Back from Awana Kijal

2006-06-21T21:28:00.000+08:00

Hey all. It's good to be back in Sunway where the buses are more punctual than the ones near Awana Kijal resort. I had to wait for 45 minutes extra for my bus to arrive. I just came back this evening; a long dreary 7 hour jouney on a bus where the leg space irritated the crap out of me. Not to mention I had to take the Starline and KTM from Titiwangsa and Bank Negara respectively. Wow, let me tell you: when I reached KL Sentral station, swarms of people rushed in like the train had free Nasi Lemak to offer. I tried to stand firm but the pressure of the flocks of bodies was just too overwhelming; I could literally feel the effect of being sardined.

Anyway, I got back at around 7 pm and Christina came by at 7 30! It was really great to see her; really made the numerous cumbersome activities of the day all worthwhile. Thanks dear!

On a different note, Christina and I were talking about what a pastor at the church she attends had mentioned during his sermon. A point that he made during that sermon was really very intriguing. He said that the brain is basically divided into two parts: the right and left. He continued by profoundly exclaiming that," In the left part, there is nothing right and in the right, there is nothing left" (Tan, 2006). Haha. Technically, our brains are of no use in that sense. I referenced with the name ' Tan ' because I am uncertain of his surname but since our fundamental belief is that everyone is a 'Tan', my actions are justified.

Finally, here are some lame jokes to satisfy your hunger for special humour. I have had this recent fetish for car jokes so I shall persist in making them.

Which car is able to relax the most?

Perodua Kancil ( can chill)

Which car chooses not to be horned?

Honda ( dah horn)

Which handphone brand does the Kia absolutely detest?

No-kia ( because they are anti-Kia)

Those are all my jokes for now. Till we meet again.

pain

2006-06-19T03:00:00.000+08:00

pain, it doesn't hurt when you cut yourself,
or when you fall down,
but it truly hurts when something is loss, and forever gone,
irreplaceable is the value and the emotions that dwells with it.

pain, nothing hurts more than the bitterness within,
the disappointment in people,
it burns the soul when the ones u trust go back on their words,
promises forgotten, things get broken.

joy, all is shattered all is crushed,
in a nick of time, before you know it,
before you realise, it flees from you,
driven away by the bitterness within.

gone is the hope, gone is the smile,
the values you hold, they seem so far,
like a dream, that can only be seen,
beyond reach, beyond grasp.

gone is the trust you have,
expectations driven away,
my emotions are stirred, for the very last time,
it is finished, without hope, there is no pain.

It is finally the end,
God please help me,
to heal this pain, to have trust,
to have hope, to have expectations again.

Jinn.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jinn is not depressed, nor is he dying.
just feels so pissed that, he can't feel anger anymore.
what that means, I've got no idea :P

Sorry for the delay

2006-06-17T22:44:00.000+08:00

Sorry to post only after such a long period. I'll make it snappy. Here are the 3 lame jokes I owe readers.

What kind of tree can u give a High-5 to?

A palm tree.

What is Accounting?

It refers to the process of counting how many 'A' s you have achieved. (Devaser, S.R.P.J, 2006)
