will i am's delayed diary

National Day celebrations are in full swing. Buildings lit up. Flags in ever conceivable size and shape. Spotlights blaze through the night sky. Masjid Jamek is now carnival area. Food. Glow sticks. People are arriving in droves. Roads close. Cars stall. At Dataran Merdeka, a malay guy sings Peng You at full blast and with much gusto. I'm hauling my ass home. Happy Fiftieth, Malaysia.

dalipods Swiped from axb500 . Inspired by Janvier and Queer Ranter, I have decided to do a song list guessing game of my own. Initially, I had wanted to follow the original format, but then I noticed that most of the songs in my play list, I can't find the lyrics to. So Plan B. Maybe if I sample the start or chorus of each song and upload it ala the MyFM game. Wait a minute-- that'll include editing, finding a suitable hosting site, and time ( which I lack! ). Crap. So I have decided to just publish the answers and hopefully with it, you can decide for yourselves what a weirdo I am in terms of music taste. Skater Boy - Avril Lavigne Puteri Ledang - Noraniza Idris Al Mostafa - Zmiya Solitude - Karunesh Future Proof - Massive Attack Diesel Power - Prodigy Spring Song - He Xu Tian Swordsman Theme Song - Sam Hui The Mystic's Dream - Loreena McKennitt Ice Cream - New Young Pony Club Bhajans - Sheila Chandra Urami Bushi - Meiko Kaji Zhui Lang Man De Shi - Zhao Yong ...

angel Swiped from dro!d . It's amazing when we think about the amount of trouble we would endure to do something that we love. If your significant other stays in Klang and you happen to shack up in Kelana Jaya, it's never too far. "Just a couple of tolls" , you would say. But when things go sour, or you just aren't interested anymore, "Ei, for once why don't you take the bus over" would not be surprising. Ditto for many other things. Humans lose interest rather quickly, but some things are quite hard-wired , as I mentioned before. Heh. This was the case on third day of KH's visit ( the 2nd day was intentionally ommitted because it was family day for both of us ). But before that, let me backtrack to the lunch I had with his friend, Oreal, and her boyfriend Friese. Quite the golden couple. Oreal's fair with a curvaceous body, whilst Friese has a good build and he even wore a knitted shirt with a plunging neckline (!). Real nice peopl...

Photo-0155 Swiped from williamnyk . Today, I present all of you a rare book review: Title: Marriage Technique Author: Drs. Rai & Airi Publisher: Kiran, India Year: 1964, 7th Edition Price: MYR3.00 FYI, this book has been lying in my parents' drawer for ages. Some years back ( after the death of my dad ), my mum was cleaning out the drawer and she found this. She promptly handed it to me. "Err......" As you can see from the picture, it's all brown and I'm sure you can guess it smells funny. The book is still in quite good condition as the silverfish had spared it. Here's the publisher's note: All the scientific sex knowledge of the world, concerning arried people, has been compressed into this single pocket book... This book is scientific without beng technical. It is written in a simple style so as to be intelligible even to the lay reader... "Welcome, visitor. To the weird world! Go-slow" What the?! To get a better idea, here's ...

Photo-0148 Swiped from williamnyk . It had been 3 months or so since KH came back to KL. It was his mum's birthday and his brother's convocation, so it was apt for him to return home. That and of course it was his turn for a conjugal visit. Hehe. Anyway, we both had our commitments to spend time with family, so we had to schedule things carefully. On Friday, I took half day off to spend time with him. We did the most mundane of things, but at least we got to spend it together. After lunch, he headed out to Central Market to meet me. "We gazed at each other from afar. The longing in our eyes were evident. KH ran through the street towards me, dropping the bag in hand. With the wind blowing in our hair, we met halfway in a deep embrace. We kissed deeply and passionately. Our hands.... CUT THE TAPE. Well nothing like that obviously. We were just happy to see each other. We walked side by side. Giggling as we went along. With the sun beating at our brow, the laptop we...

0535_870610-14-27-ANN-fs Swiped from lucien fp05 . Some months back, my ex-F6 classmate got married. WK's the name. For some reason, SK calls him "Dad". Some kind of pseudo-Electra Complex?! At first, I was supposed to attend the wedding with SK, but since she flew off to Germany, I used it as an excuse not to go. Not to say that I was exceptionally close to the guy, but he's an OK guy and I buy facial products via his wife with a hefty employee's discount. Definite Brownie points there. Anyway, SK and I were supposed to treat him to dinner since we both skipped his wedding. But it turned out to be a failure, like the whole Chia and Kiat fiasco in Singapore. WK invited a whole bunch of other ex-classmates, some whom I have not seen in 8 years. What happened to you William?! I wouldn't dare to tegur you if I saw you! I don't think I've changed THAT much la. I didn't eactly shed my geeky image. I'll just call it a little touch up. Anywa...

Photo-0146 Swiped from williamnyk . After a hiatus of 3 months, I finally went for my swim with SK. I was worried that I had forgotten how to swim. That my movements would be awkward and I'd forget how to breathe. Well, I didn't forget. I guess it's like riding a bike. But I wouldn't know about that. Perhaps it's like sex? Yeah, I guess one would never forget. But then, swimming is not as hard-wired as sex. :P. Anyway, I only swam for like 40 mins before I felt like I had no more thrust. It was like I was static in the water. My spindly arms and legs had called it a day. The kids were also getting rowdy and a pair of little girls were giggling at SK and I the whole time, so we decided to leave. We headed to MV to have dinner with a friend at Kim Gary . The place was packed as usual. Waiter: Smoking or non-smoking? Moi: Non-smoking. Waiter: We have an opening at the smoking section at the moment, do you mind? Moi: Is anyone smoking there at the moment? Waite...

This Is Tom Jones Swiped from DafyddLlyr . "It's not unusual to be mad with anyone" "It's not unusual to be sad with anyone" Is it true that we more easily show our anger to those we love? When facing outsiders, we are more patient. We maintain a veneer of civility and tolerance that we do not usually reserve for the ones we care for. Is it true that we tend to be more caustic, have a shorter fuse even? Is this fair? It's such a contradiction. Yet it happens everyday. It happens to me, heck, even I do it. Most of the time, I regret lashing out. The outcome always drags me down. Regret hangs heavily on me. Libran genes. Damn. Oh, how I wish I can think with a more level head. Gauge the situation before I open my mouth. Sounds fake? I guess if we love someone, we should do something to keep things loving. You happy. I happy. Am glad that with KH, I dare to ask and he dares to answer. Things are simple. Sincere. "It's not unusual to be lov...

honekawa Swiped from williamnyk . I'm sure people in my age bracket and those older would know of Doraemon . The robotic cat from the future that has a bottomless pouch from which it pulls out inventions after inventions to satisfy the unreasonable needs of his host, Nobita. Each story normally ends in disaster after the invention is misused. I used to love it. Will watch the horribly dubbed series before dinner. Enjoying the interactions of Nobita with the other characters- the quick-to-temper mother; the bully Gian; the ever-bathing Sizuka and last but not least, the showy Suneo. With introductions over, I can go into the perkara pokok - I have been told numerous times that I LOOK and SOUND like Suneo Honekawa . !!!. Yes. It's that shocking. !!!. As much as I begrudge such a comment, let's do an objective study: Pointy Hair - Check! Pointy Mouth - Errr? Annoying voice - I like the sound of my own voice, but I really do sound a bit nasal when I hear recordings o...

collage2 Swiped from williamnyk . After two long months, SK has finally returned from her stint in Germany ( but it has been a month since she came back :P ). She's back at my side again and while this is good news, it also means that JM will now have to return to being without her at his side. There is always an imbalance somewhere, a rotation between us, a permutation. At the very beginning, we were three. Doing everything together during our Form Six years. When tertiary education came, JM and SK were both assigned to UKM, while I was in UM. During that particular phase, though we kept in close contact and frequently met, I think JM and SK grew closer. Became a unit of sorts, formed a deeper rapport. Then, as I joined the rat race, JM left the country and this brought about another change where SK and I built our own bonds. Soon after that, I too had left the country and only returned once a month, causing us to be effectively separated. Even so, our friendship held st...

Roll The Dice Swiped from taylorkoa22 . Supposed to have posted this as a filler in case you guys have gotten sick and tired of my bed sport exploits down south. But as usual, things got pushed around. Hopefully this will really help, but even not, at least I have tried to get in touch with some of my feelings, which I'm sure my Significant Other would approve of. The details are found here . A person is only as good as ... his word Friendship is always about ... giving and receiving To love is to ... give one's all Money makes me ... lose sight of the important things in my life I miss my ... innocence, my father, my KH My way of saying I care is ... by giving you the brutal truth with 15% of tact I try to spread love and happiness by ... being more selfless Pick the flowers ... to brighten up someone's day To love someone is to ... to love ourselves Beauty is ... subjective When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was ... masturbation (:P) When I was twenty...

vlcsnap-urahara Swiped from williamnyk . On the left we have McD's Dip Jack . On the right we have Bleach's Urahara-san . See the resemblance? Two brothers, born of the same parents. Separated at birth. One taken in by the Golden Arches, forever trying to eke out a living in Ronald's shadow. He got his big break peddling McNugget sauces that nobody'll appreciate. A tragedy waiting to happen. The other joined Soul Society. Gained his fame as the first head of the Technological Research Department. Later self-exiled to Karakura Town, making a living by opening a convenience store. Will they ever meet? Will destiny bring them together? This and the Two-headed Elvis Clone on the next edition of "This Is Your Life!". And to answer the requests from my hair post: Sorry about the smudges, but I'm still under the Witness Protection Programme. So far I've revealed the upper half of my head, so now you get to enjoy my spindly arms and the shape of my ...

Carry My Heart Swiped from williamnyk . The bus back to KL was at 3:00pm, so KH and I had some left over time to spend together. Even took half day's leave to see me off. We woke up at around 9:00am, but practically lazed in bed till late, just enjoying each others' presence and finally getting to talk. Issues were dug up. Things were brought into the open. It is something KH enjoys doing though it makes me uncomfortable at times. For KH, problems should be tackled head on. Take the bull by its horns. I am slowly adapting to this gung-ho and open attitude to things. I know KH means well and just wants things less murky. But I must also point out that KH does not apply this in all things, but this also something that I accept. From his HangZhou trip, KH bought me a little memento. A grain of rice suspended in a glass vial. On the grain of rice, is written: "I only have you in my heart" . And on the other side, KH's name in Chinese. KH put it around my neck...

Though I frequently distend my tummy by going for buffet dinners, it has been t least 8 years since I had a high tea. Since I had a free high tea for two compliments of Milennium Hotel ( formerly known as Regent Hotel ), I finally went to break the dry spell. Truth be told, not exactly FOC also la, I already paid for it when the telemarketer suckered me into joining their membership. So, if anyone wants to eat there or rent a room, you can give me a ring and you'll get 50% off the bill. It was a family outing with my mum, sister and brother-in-law. A nice cozy buffet of Western ( scallops and raw oysters! ), local ( ever had Char Kuey Teow with Salmon and Cod fish slices? ) and Japanese cuisine, dim sum ( siew mai and crispy deep-fried wanton! ), seafood barbeque ( sweet, succulent lobster! ), cute-sy desserts and free-flow beer. In addition to the food, you have guitarists crooning oldies like "Mr Bojangles" and Gypsy Kings fare. There was even a clown ( didn't ge...

collage8 Swiped from williamnyk . A continuation... On Sunday, I dragged KH to to church. We went to the Church of the Blessed Sacrement somewhere in Alexandra Road. The mass time published in the website is wrong so by the time we arrived, it was already the homily. A very triangular church with a woody interior. The liturgy is fancier than I'm used to. Much use of incense and they even have a gong! I noticed a few things about the church. Firstly, the collection is really ineffective. They really should use longer poles. Secondly, I met the most kiasu Catholic. He actually went for communion twice! Talk about finishing your quota for the day. Pengz! We left church, then headed to Chinatown Point to look at the SportsmenAsia shop. A very impressive collection. KH actually got me someting from there. Thanks dear! As my throat was a bit sore, I bought gui lin gao there, from a shop called Hong Woh Tong , a blatant rip-off of KL's Kwong Woh Tong. Everything looks the s...

After Mowing Swiped from great_sea . After 2.5 haircut-free months, I have finally shorn off my unruly locks. It had grown really thick and any attempt to style usually ends in failure. It just swallows all the products I put in it. Heh. The whole thing started when my stylist, KK decided that I should change the length of my hair. I visited him twice and both times he turned me back. So when the day finally came to cut my hair, it ended up pretty much the same. "Eh, what's the difference ah?" The front part is just slightly longer. That's about it. Well, I don't really care, at least I save RM72 worth of haircuts. And my head feels much lighter now. But I guess my shampoo and hair wax usage increased. Can't win 'em all. Bah! But, KH approves of my new / old look. Says my hair used to get in the way when trying to get to my ear... ehehe. It tickles! When I was there, I also got to meet Mike, Snips' CEO. Only in his 30s. Not flamboyant or anyth...
