Shows that rocks my socks

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I hardly watch the tv anymore. That’s mostly because everytime when I’m home, the telly is on the damn chinese channels which annoys the shit out of me. Stay with family mah, what to do. But, whenever (HAH. IF ever) I do get my chance with the telly, I usually surf around these few channels - Discovery travel and living, AFC, hallmark, AXN, starworld, E news, Discovery. In that order.

I did use to enjoy watching Mtv but not until bloody emo rockers, angsty hiphoppers, teenage reality shows took over the channel and transformed it into rubbish. Starworld isn’t even my favourite channel anymore eversince an entire slew of stupid mind numbing for “housewives and college kids only” series came on air - one tree hill, the oc, desperate housewives, private practice, grey’s anatomy, gossip girl, 90210… and not to mention the hundreds of idiotic reality tv shows which just makes me want to smash the tv into a million pieces……

So despite my rather happening, hectic lifestyle (not!) I try really hard to catch these few shows which are my favourite-st shows evAr.

Thirsty Traveller
thirsty
It’s not very hard to see why I love this show.
3 words.
Guy. Drinks. Travel.
When I grow up, I want to be just. like. him.

MythBusters
myth
The “eat too full nothing to do” kings. Seriously how did anybody come up with this idea to set up a team which does all sorts of weird experiments just trying to bust myths? How?Why? The stuff they do and the crazy shit they come up with are too bloody hilarious! Who would’ve thought about folding paper the size of a plane hangar just to dispel the “you can’t fold paper more than 8 times” myth. It’s a complete waste of time, but incredibly too much fun. Science? and fun? Who would’ve thunk?

Dirty Jobs With Mike Rowe
dirty
Everytime I watch this show I can’t help but smile. Mike reminds me of Hugh Laurie somewhat. But that’s not the only reason why I like dirty jobs. This guy goes into the sewer, swims in shit, has his face covered in shit, can practically taste the shit in his mouth and still can afford to crack side splitting one liners. Love it!

Jamie Oliver
jamie
Everytime he is cooking he makes me want to lick the tv screen. He makes everything look so DELICIOUS! Completely messy, but YUMMY. I get hungry after watching an episode of Jamie Oliver. Every time. He makes cooking look so fun even I feel like cooking. _shudders_

Man vs Wild
manvswild
It’s hard to not like this crazy nut who wants to be left in the middle of no man’s land only to try and escape it with nothing except his clothes on his back. Crazy fuckers who do strange things like that are high on my “very cool” list. But we all know that there’s an entire crew we don’t see who are there on back up and make sure that he DOES get his clean water and bug free food. And I really do pity his cameraman who’s in more shit than he is because not only does he have to surive through the ordeal with him, he carries the CAMERA. But what I don’t see, don’t count I guess. Plus it doesn’t hurt that the fellow is kinda cute. and hunky…. WAHKAKAKAKAKA. :P

What’s your favourite shows on tv these days? And if you say friends reruns or grey’s anatomy I will personally hunt you down and cut of your toes off with a rusty blunt blade.

WARGH.

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I’m very upset at myself at the moment.

I hate myself for generally being nice, accomodating and not assertive enough.

But I’m working on it.

I will grow some balls.

And when tell the next fella tries to bully me I will say to that person - SUCK ON IT BITCH.

kthxbai.

Consolation

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I dropped by car keys into the toilet today.

Fucking gross.

Well, at least it wasn’t number 2.

And definitely better than dropping my car keys next to my car and not knowing about it until someone calls me up from the police station.

Right?

Anyway, my car keys still work fine.

Thank goodness it’s perodua. keke :P

Malaysia vs Singapore and the Return of the Travelling Bug.

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

It’s been only 3 days since I’ve been back.
It made me realise how much I really missed certain things in Malaysia.
… and how I’m already starting to miss certain things in Singapore.

Malaysia
1. Family
2. Friends
3. Food
4. My car

Singapore
1. Clean, maintained, taxis with un-dodgy looking drivers
2. MRT
3. Cleanliness
4. SGD1 for a can of coke (looking at it from a dollar to dollar point of view)
5. How I can just get to anywhere by foot of public transport
6. The general “safe” feeling

It’s sad to say that at the end of the day, it feels like, at the moment, the only thing thats keeping here is not even the country itself but my personal relationships with the people I like and love…. who could always follow me down to singapore.. :P

But singapore has this cold, self-absorbed culture. It’s definitely not a place to retire because once you’re not useful to the economy anymore you’re tossed aside like used tissue. That’s the general feeling I get and have heard from the older more experienced folk.Niamah! :P Okokok I’m going to get that damn camera soon lah!!!
—————————————————————–

That strong urge to want to travel and see the world is back again. It’s poking my heart and tugging at my stomach. Again. I’m 28. If I don’t do this now, when will I ever do it? Yet, I can’t do it now because I don’t have the money, which I’m working for, and getting measly amounts of. And it seems like I’ll never earn enough to meet my goal. But I have to go NOW because I’m getting older and there will be only more commitments to come. But I can’t because I’m in the middle of nowhere of my career and if I stop now it would mean a blimp in the middle of nowhere. Which put me in the same level as a… fresh graduate except I’m like 7 years older than them, lose-lose for me. I fucking hate catch 22s.

I have to do this. Otherwise it’ll keep nagging at me and I won’t feel complete. But when? And how? What can I do oh what can I do?

I know one thing I should do is to get out of my ass and get some serious initial research done on this. It’s not as if it will miraculously appear in my mailbox one day with complete details on where to go, how to get there, where to live and to get it all done on no budget, would it? Would it?? ;)

Day 19

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Weather’s getting really erractic. One day rain rain rain rain rain. Another day humid like fuck. Yet another day scorching sun fries you. What the hell is going on?

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is seriously rocking my socks off. Bought a pint of cookie dough and it feels like I can’t have enough of it but I MUST STOP EATING NOW. Freaking pringles of ice-cream. Why do you have to be so good and expensive. :(

I’ve seen too many girls here wearing many variation of gladiator sandals. I know it’s supposed to be some latest trend or whatever but NO. UR DOIN IT RONG. Just because the ppl behind their multibillion corporates tell you it is doesnt make it IT. NO NO NO.

Tired. Have to wake up at 5 something AM tmrw to catch the first flight back then straight to the office. Sigh. Liddat lah.
