This is what I mostly did during my end of the year break.
1. Starcraft campaign games because I can’t wait for SC II !!!111oneone
2. Watch Yakitate!! Japan because I absolutely refused to touch Naruto until there are at least 50 episodes for me to catch up on at one go.
I don’t have to go into #1 because everybody knows that SC is one of the greatest strategy games ever known to mankind and how SC II is going to completely blow our minds away. So let’s talk about #2.
Background:
Yakitate!! Japan is about a village boy named Azuma Kazuma who aspires to bake THE national Japanese Bread - THE bread that ALL Japanese can substitute rice with - “Japan” (a play on words as “pan” in Japanese means bread). Expect plenty of bread baking competitions which includes crazy-assed far fetched breakthrough bread making techniques and wacky ingredients. 69 episodes in total. Released in 2004.
I like it!
Like Naruto, the story is formed around the same concept - the simpleton underdog with a one track goal - to be the best in what he does. During his journey to be the best; he develops friendships with people around him who after thinking that the protagonist is a loser, will get their ass kicked and then come to love and respect the protagonist as somebody with a heart of gold and the will of titanium. True, I’m a sucker for this sort of lame shit as it warms my cold, unfeeling heart.
But…
Obviously like all freaking Japanese animes there are endless, tiresome, annoying fart jokes and idiotic childish exaggerated expressions (especially during the judging of the breads during the competitions) - which I never like but am forced to tolerate with because I’m a sucker for pain.
In the end.
I liked it, generally. Watched the whole damn series on Crunchyroll with my sister and after every 5-10 episodes my stomach growls up a storm, my mouth waters and I get the most ridiculous munchies because the judges’ illustrative descriptions of the prize winning bread is just too vividly delicious. Doesn’t help that the breads in the anime look so damn good I could literally SMELL IT and TASTE IT in my head while giving me this uncontrollable urge to lick the monitor screen.

Hi boys and girls (all 50 of you) who frequent fireangelism.com with hopes of 1) naked pictures and 2) really awesome blog content and are constantly disappointed with the lack of both but still come back here time and time again because let’s face it, in the real world with no happy endings, everybody’s a sucker for pain and misery.
Even though you know that I’ll never reciprocate in any way, let me implore you to dig deep within that generous heart of yours to spare me less than a minute to answer the following:
Girls:
Unless you weren’t naturally born a girl - you have to have gone through SOME sort of PMS. Tell me 1) what sort of specific crazy extreme emotional shit do you go through during this point of time AND 2) what does YOUR guy (Husband. No husband? Boyfriend. No boyfriend? Guy friends and colleagues) do to make things better (and if not better, how does he manage to make it worse).
Guys:
What do you do or have done, for your girl when she has emotionally turned into psychotic blood thirsty Mr. Hyde? Your girl means your wife. No wife? Girlfriend. No girlfriend? Colleague or a pal. Etc. I’ll need you to be specific. To “layan her” (transl: give into her irrationalities) is not being specific.
Okay I answer first.
Q1: Everything that didn’t seem to bug me before seems to bug me A LOT when I’m on PMS. I take everything personally. Then I’ll snap at everybody. Pick a fight. Refuse to understand. Hate the world and how it works with all its unfairness (I normally already hate the world but the feeling is now intensified by a gajillion times). Cry. Feel depressed. Feel alone. Enter into self-pity mode. Already tiny self-esteem gets crushed into nothing.
Q2: Layan a bit. Then try and fix my issues by dispensing advises and lectures - which never fail to piss me even further. Then, when all else fails, head for the hills until the coast is clear. Then I’ll go ply myself in alcohol and hate all men even more.
Let us all compare notes. It’ll be very interesting to see what everybody’s (especially girls) experiences are like, and how similar it is.
Doesn’t it frustrate you when
a) you’re a girl and guys just don’t understand what the fuck is going on with you and how to deal with it?
b) you’re a guy and you just don’t understand what the fuck is going on with her and how to deal with it?
Yeah me too.
The universe should come up with a general guidebook on how to deal with this shit - just to make life a little bit easier to live in. Maybe there’ll be less wars. And famine. Or something.
Happy Monday. Thursday is worth looking forward to because it’s a HOLIDAY! GO CRAZYY!!

I know this movie is so last year (haha), but I must share my feelings!!!
I cringed and cringed and couldn’t stop cringing until it ended. Bloody hell this was a full-force in your face revenge of the musical Disney cartoons complete with sing-a-longs and synchronised group dancing TO YOUR DEATH! Everybody knows the words to the songs! Everybody knows the dance steps! Cockroaches clean your house! The one you love sings to you! What’s up with the real life lead actress? Her cartoon character was like 100000000000 times hotter than her real life counterpart! It really bugged me throughout the movie, like a splinter in my head. Even the other girl character too. What’s up with her FACE man? Felt really irritated looking at their freaky faces. SLAP!!! What’s up with all the guys (as in MALES) who have watched this and said this movie was OKAY? Euw. I can’t believe I willingly paid RM10 bucks to watch this fucking corny bullshit. I even tried really hard to give in to my feminine flower plucking animal cuddling self to WANT to enjoy this peacefully - but the total bitch in me refused. to. stop. cringing. SLAP!!! Then again, ANYTHING is better than Norbit. Or Barnyard. Or Epic Movie. Name me any bad English movie of the year 2007 and I would’ve probably caught it - not by choice mind you. _koff_

“My biggest mistake was that I stayed in the hotel and in the same room for convenience. Next time, when you stay in a hotel, good luck to you.”
Because it was haunted and made his “personal friend” trip over him but through some amazing stroke of luck her mouth happened to land on his dick. Then later on, because he’s just this old and aging man who is unsteady on his feet, HE tripped as well and HIS dick had fortunately landed IN her. In continuous succession. Yup. He had absolutely NO idea what was going on in the room. Sex? No it wasn’t sex. How can it be sex? It was all a huge accident! Can’t a simple horny married man with children these days just screw their “personal friends” in dodgy hotel rooms in peace anymore? Oops, I mean, accidentally fuck their room mates?
Go FUCK yourself Health Minister. Shameless Asshole. Just shut the fuck up and go the fuck away.

Sorry ah… AWOL for so long. Body was on a holiday so the brain was incubated.
Didn’t go anywhere this time. Spend a lot of time doing absolutely nothing. And it was GREAT.
But cilaka have to get sick towards the end of my break. Now coughing like mad. :(((((
Coming back to work after almost 2 weeks of leave is not a great feeling. Dreaded waking up. Dreaded the morning cold. Dreaded the morning traffic. Dreaded the driving to work. Dreaded the impending workpile. Dreaded the Inbox. 
Argh.
I didn’t even consume a drop of alcohol.
… this situation will be corrected by the end of the week.
Celebrated Xmas at KY’s. If you weren’t there, you were square! (haha)
Argh. The office is still so empty.
Thank goodness it’s already a Wednesday.
Man, I didn’t even attempt to come up with resolutions. Don’t know if it’s just me, but it doesn’t feel like a new year yet. Everthing feels old. There’s no renewed vigour towards… well anything.
I don’t even feel like blogging anymore.
zzzzz….
It’s probably just the holiday hangover talking.
Welcome back all you corporate drones who just got back to work today.
How was your Xmas and New Year celebrations? Share!
