Gah! Lingam's case is on the frontpage, AGAIN!

Why can't he just own up to his mistakes just like Soi Lek did? Then there won't be any 'hoo-haa' about it all. Even if it did cause a commotion, it wouldn't be as much as it is now.Its putting whats left of Malaysia's name to shame.

But then again admitting to that case, would, in my opinion, not only cause him to go to jail but also brand the fourth Prime Minister as a "dirty fellow". That would shatter the dreams of "many" Malaysians.

Sadly, I don't see the end to this pointless case. Its like a game of never ending 'ping pong'.

Yesterday Vincent Tan and Ro. Lazar joined the blame game. And Anwar says there may be more videos to come.

What Lingam has said that it may look like him and sound like him but it isn't him. Then he said he was drunk. then he said he was bragging!? Make up your mind man.

Very soon a new mental illness would be named after him. The "Lingam" Syndrome.

Aih.

Basketball has indeed been more fun with Shern Ming and Shern Way back in the fray. After a few months of not having much of an inside/outside battle (except for maybe Iain), basketball is fun and exciting once more.

The duo known as the 'Bang Bro's' (due to their blood relations and aggresive inside play), unfortunately are going to leave. Soon. And what makes it worst is the fact that Iain is leaving as well. All within the 1st half of this year.

These are some of the only people that can force out the best from these old bones. Sorry Randy, for all your bragging and smug looks, you crumbled under the pressure of my D and I'm an old man, proving once again that you aren't ready to play with the big boys yet.

See you guys, have a safe trip. we'll run it again when you guys get back.

The blog has been revamped. How do you like the new do? Thanks to peero and Baby V for the artwork and the coding.

Went shopping for blank DVD's for Baby V's brother yesterday and we ended up getting the DVD's and an ornament for my car.

It's kinda cute.

Now if this symbolizes me this is most probably what would happen.

Bite! Too yummy not to resist? More like so annoying! BITE!

And spectators in the car would go....

OMG!!! SO LAME! SOO LLAAAMMEEE!

I apologize for the random-ness of this post. Feeling lame. LOL

Yo peeps!

I got my 1st byline. Yeah what, I've been waiting for. So how do I feel? Kinda sad. Its heavily edited and I wasn't actually expecting it. and I need to get a byline treat. Shoot. Why? Coz I'm broke.

I went to 'Campur Chart Goes Live' yesterday @ Laundry the Curve with Baby V and friends. Met up with Basil, Fabes and Ben (from the 'Pagi Show', formerly known as the 'Big Bang Breakfast Show').

The show featured artists like 'Silent Scream', 'Frequency Cannon' and some rap dude that I don't know. 'Silent Scream' was surprisingly impressive. FC unfotunately proved that they can't sing live well but props for the showmanship.

owh well.

Insane.

I left the house at 7.30am, on a public holiday, to go to the office. I reached home at 11.30pm. Thats 16 hours of work! On a PUBLIC HOLIDAY!? And I don't get paid overtime or extra for it. Awesome ain't it?

Initially I was left in the office with nothing to do. Until about 6.00pm that is. Some idiot chose to run his car into a house at that time. In Selayang no less. SELAYANG!? I know where that is... IN MY DREAMS! I spent my childhood days there but I was never allowed to drive (DUH! Underage!). Best thing is its my 1st week in crime and I got a scolding for not knowing where Stadium Selayang Baru situated. Fine.

The best thing is this, there was no set address given. WHAT!? You want us to go around searching? "Oh its near Selayang stadium" she says. It was about (insert LARGE digit here) km or more in the opposite direction. Luckly the crowd was easy to spot.

Upon arriving, I found out that the house was filled with migrants. Migrants who can't speak English and Malay well (Say what!?Anybody a Nepalese Translator?).

Gah! Multiple plans got dashed on that day. I knew that it would happen one day but I didn't think it would be on a public holiday. Well at least they ran the story. Ja...

Lingam stole all The Star's court reporters. They ran out of court reporters and they had to send two crime reporters.

The price of a prank is high people, let me tell you that. The maid that sent anonymous SMSes to Sharlinie's father was at the court proceedings in the PJ majistret court yesterday and I was there.

The maid could be jailed up to 9 years or fine or both. Quite a hefty price to pay right? On top of that she can't be bailed out.

Well its a public holiday again, and I'm working again.

I know its unlike me but it comes with the job. I haven't had much time for anything.

I've gotten a copy of David Tao's album, courtesy of baby V. David Tao has to be my favorite chinese artist. Make no mistake, I still can't understand much chinese, but his music is awesome.

Well thats all for now.

And it happens again!

Another T.K. byline! I am officially a fan. Makes me feel like I should work harder to get my first. I'm just a bag full of lazy bones. Oh well, congratz again.

Let me make out my 1st political post of the year. Its based on my opinion so it account for nothing but I'll write it anyway.

Yesterday, Selangor's dearest Menteri Besar, Datuk Dr. Khir Toyo said the 'dumbest' thing yet. This is how the article started:

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo Has called on Chinese and Indian voters in the state not to 'backstab' UMNO when making their choice during the next general elections.

What right does he have to say that? Malays get the biggest slice of the cake and they tell us not to choose against them (BN)? I'm sorry, but I know too many capable Malays to believe that they have to be protected. This is why Malaysia will never be really inhabited by Malaysians but just Malaysian Chinese, Indian and Malay. We will never be a country.

The audacity of of Khir Toyo doesn't stop there.

"We hope our Indian friends in the Ijok state constiteuncy will remember our (UMNO) loyalty and not run away from us during the next general election because of Hindraf," he said during the launch of Barisan National Youth and Puteri UMNO election machineries here yesterday.

Say WHAT!? Ok, I, for one, do not agree with the Hindraf movement but has he even given thought to why they went to Hindraf in the first place? If they were already happy with the way the government is ran, in my opinion, they would side with the ruling party instead of Hindraf.

And now the Chinese.

"To our Chinese friends, too, we want to clearly tell not to main wayang with us," he said adding the reminder was in view of the promises by Chinese voters in Ijok to back BN during the April by-election but who later voted against the coalition.

I get a sense of the Chinese sarcasm here. I know if a promise that person A made to me is broken, I am in no obligations to keep mine to person A.

He said the Chinese voters should not be fooled into thinking that the DAP could form a government in the state as a study by Barisan showed the coalition had the backing of 90% of voters.

The current government isn't all that great in my eyes. Why not try a new one? And if you have 90% of the population behind you why worry about those who want vote for DAP or PAS?

Our public figures are so, so funny. 1st, its ZAM with his RAP on Al-Jazeera, then its V.K. Lingam and now this? Well there are lots more but this are the ones I will name.

Unfortunately he is right. The majority is still made out of BN supporters, mostly Malay, and I don't blame them, they are well taken care off, but we can even out the parlimentary seats and hopefully it would give birth to a better Malaysia for all races.

Well thats all.

I had 2 days off but suprisingly I didn't get much rest over those 2 days. I had lost sleep because of my flu. I've suffered insomnia and a runny nose. Bah. Basketball also hasn't been as as good. I just haven't been performing. Bah.

Well, FGA USJ had their 1st YF of the year and the theme is "SILLY". Now one would think that we would have no problems being silly and we didn't disappoint. I however, was late. Yes I got called back after the senior reporter had a change of heart on the story, so I had to rush back and write it. Oh well the day ended well enough, went our foe a drink with baby V.

Congratulation to Noah and Sam for making it to the leaders circle. You guys make a leader proud. Soon one of you will be captian and the other a wing man. LOL. Funny ain't it?

Now this is a special! Congratz T.K. on your frontpage byline in The Sun today. Awesome job! Talk about beating josh to the punch. Congratulations! Gambate!

Well back to work. See ya peeps!

Guess what, I managed to provoke someone with this blog again. AGAIN!?

Yeah, so what am I going to to about it? I'm going to make it worst. My new years resolution is to not censor my blog. Its supposed to be my takes on life and what I think about life.

To he who I shall not name, dude you're so full of yourself. Well all know you have some amount of talent so please don't go telling me how good you are. I don't want to know. If there is something worth acknowledging I will do it. You don't have to seek it from me or anyone else. It annoys people. If you're good you don't have to tell anyone. It'll sound arrogant if you do. Trust me I'm not the only one who can't stand your bragging. Its laced with so much arrogance and ignorance it bothers me. You for one should know that pride come before a fall and man how far have you fallen. I mean, starting your own fan circle? And having the audacity to start your own fan circle. Man. People are supposed to start those for you. There are many times when I have hinted that you should stop, but you never seem to get it. I'm not even gonna start on how your jokes sometimes get people into trouble, but I guess that happens, some just more than others.

Thats enough of that.

It was a nice change of the normal mundane day when I got to have dinner with not only Baby V but HafutotaJE and Whales. The reunion of the pointless study group. Caught up with how everybody else is doing.

Industrial training has been good. I meet te people I want to meet almost every other day and those I don't, I never do. Not yet at least.

I met a friend from so far back in the day. I knew this dude since I was 11. He's 2 years older and he was around The Star Tower for an interview. Extremely talented musican. A pastor's son. A real good friend. His hair is still as long as ever. Ian, its nice to see you again bro. Oh and congrats Lemuel and Melanie on the birth of your child. May God bless you and your family.

Well gotta go. I got transfered to crime. Dead bodies! LOL
See ya.

Its a new day and I wonder why in the world are the roads in KL so bloody confusing.

Yes I got lost.

I had an assignment in hotel Istana today. Its the opening of a nation wide seminar. And yes I got lost. I seriously need to get around Kuala Lumpur more. Well I got the 17 minites late so I guess I didn't miss much. Its not like the story would get published.

Fooled me once shame on you, Fooled me twice shame on me (or something like that).

I got lost on the way back again! I tell you KL motorists are maniacs. The motorcyclists especially.

I managed to get back to the office in one piece and finish writing my story. Sent it in to the senior I was supposed to anyways. I never seem to be able to report these kinda of events involving prominant political figures. Its such a bore. No offence to those who enjoy it.

Pauline's rat race starts today... good luck Whales.

There are a few people I haven't heard from in a while. Things really do change but no matter, I guess I've changed as well I no longer care as much. Maybe coz of the work time constraint and I'm seeing the person I need to see almost everyday before work so I'm pretty happy.

What I want to do is play basketball. Its been such a long while. Well 3 days isn't exactly long but I want to play.

Bylines, Parties and Maniacs.

Nothing much happen lately so no updates. I was off from work the past 2 days and I'm bored of sitting infront of a computer, so I decided to go do some gaming and play some basketball. Having Ming back sure makes basketball more fun.

I met up with HafutotaJE last friday. The poor lad seems to be so tired. Well I guess it can be tiring when your doing something you weren't expecting to do. He's a journalism student writing advertisements and copywriting stuff. A waste of a good writer, if you ask me.

Bylines

First of all, congratulations to O.H Sean on his first byline in the Sunday Star dated 13th Jan 2008. After all the hard work being put it, I guess it paid off. Congratz again man!

I'm still waiting for my first byline. I thought I would have gotten it last Friday but I didn't. Oh well I'll just have to wait for a little while more, I hope.

Parties

I went to a party held by a friend of Baby V. Her small gathering turned out to be a full fledge party with DJ's and dance floor and all. The alcohol was free flowing as well. From wine to whisky to vodka, if you wanted it all you needed to do was to ask for it.

The birthday girl, to my surprise is the girlfriend of Joshua who used to play basketball with me.
Well even though I could drink well, I wanted to control my intake. Managed to do that, somewhat. Chelle was stoning most of the party. Poor girl.

Maniacs

Another girl has been kidnapped. Why go for little girls? Sick people. Yes they are maniacs but the maniacs I'm talking about is not these kidnappers.

What has the police done so far? Hunt down the remenants of the sex DVD of a Minister who has gracefully stepped down, that what. Great way to waste money boys.

Idiots. All of them, Idiots.

What they should be doing with their time is to be keeping an eye on these cases, solving them. Malaysia should be a safe country. For all the stupidity and unfairness of this country at least it was safe. Now, even that cannot be supplied.

Well my parents are going to pull another switch that they do so well.

I have my new baby. A 5 year old Kenari Auto. The car is under my name, the loans is under my name and I most probably have to start paying for it once I start working and yet my sister is the one driving it. A girl who hasn't driven in donkey years is most definately going to wreck my car. And my father is going to brush it off, again.

I tell you.... Je reçois des malades de cette famille. Ils apportent favoritisme à un tout autre niveau. Je veux quitter le plus tôt possible.

I might be saying that in anger but ... 21 years of the same thing.. I just don't know how long I can take this.

The world is gonna end!!!!!

Wanna know why!?

I'm working on a public holiday!!!

Waking up early this morning was just torture to my entire being. It goes against the laziness I live for.

Anyways I'm already in the office so, yeah, the world ends today. LOL

I really hope there is an assignment today. It'll be so dead boring if there wasn't. Yesterday was filled with chatting and manga reading. Shoot!

More updates later.

Often times you'll have to pry yourself away from your small little window to see the bigger picture and other times you just don't want to know.

Its day 8 of working in the 'field'.

As expected, its lots of fun and it changes day but... I'm tired. and The news scene isn't one that is free, in a sense.

Still 4 stories up so far so I'm not doing that bad but no byline yet.

I ran into Kwong Han Huei yesterday. A fammiliar face is nice once in a while. He seems to be doing well. In fact he's gotten his byline already.

Oh well, I'll perservere.

Well, life as a news journalist isn't as easy as I made it out to be. I knew about the late and erratic hours but unlike a feature story, everything has to be done within the day itself. Which means from the time the assignment is received to the time it is written, there is no time to rest.

But its exciting.

Although, I must admit if I had my long overdue car with me but alas. its gonna be a long day. More oil?

This is the first.

The new year has just passed. There are many things I am greatful for. I dare say I am truly blessed.

However it has not been so with this blog. It seems that my thoughts are rather provoking to 'certain' people (Me? Provoke people!? Naww~) and so it has been left to rot here for a couple of months.

Well here is a short update for you all (Big events only, shall we).

Christmas

Ho-Ho-Ho! Santa loves his ho's. I saw this on a shirt while shopping with Baby V and her brother (correction, not Whales). Well this the season for your vocal chords to be worked to death.

Last minute changes + Last minute practice + Lots of high notes to hit + Mediocre singer = No voice on performance day

Ah yes. The horror. But the 'eleventh hour-ness' of the whole thing was what made it fun. Running up and down, 6 hours of practice, fumbling with words and definately the laughs. Funny.

Received a few good presents this Christmas. A new wardrobe, a new car and a treasure chest. Oh did I mention, A NEW CAR? Well its a second hand one but in good condition nonetheless. Its cause I start at The Star on the third of January, which was 2 days ago.

New years

Well new years eve was un eventful except for, maybe, Stan coming back (Haven't been hanging with him so far though. You know, Girl - factor, for both sides. LOL). On new years day, went out with Baby V for, well lots of stuff la. But that was in the night time. Rest of the day? Gaming.

The Star

First day, first assignment. Second day, second assignment, first spike. First week, first Saturday shift. Over all, I'm loving it.

My OC's are awesome, as the deadline looms, you would want to stay away. I get to call the head editor, Datuk Wong Chun Wai, by his name. I had my first assignment published today. Good start.

***

Well I did say it was supposed to be short. Well thats all folks.
