so it's like this

I was quite surprised when I checked my blog, and realised my previous post was on the 11th. That's four days ago. Rather unusual, considering I leave posts every other day, on the average, weekends discounted. Well, it was some sort of a busy week, the week that was, and I didn't really have the time to cook up something interesting.

On saying that, the weekend was spent watching plenty of TV (again), and not much of anything else. Well, there was a freeflow I attended, which didn't really impress me. If there's one thing I dislike about beer (other than it being bitter) it's drinking beer in a plastic container. Yucks. Beer has to be with a chilled mug, no arguments. There's nothing more tummy-upsetting than watered down, warm beer in an environmentally-harming plastic cup. Couldn't really complain much though, it was somewhat of a neighbourhood cafe, not exactly located in a posh area.

Football swallowed a huge chunk of my Saturday night, while Sunday was spent lazily on the couch, soaking up as many movies as humanly possible. The Astronaut's Wife was gripping, The Untouchables was awesome, while Syaitan was plain stupefying. Why do local directors insist on using flashbacks and time distortment? More often than not, they end up confusing themselves, and more so the audience. If the opportunity arises, do watch Syaitan, and drop two cents here.

I'm getting the urge to see someone.

On another page, I've been inundated with queries on what I think will happen tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow is apparently THE day. What gets to me is people who keep jabbering about 16 September without even knowing jack about politics. People who have never even registered to vote. People who chant the date like some mantra, hoping their wishes will be granted after the 1000th chant. Get a life, peoples. Seriously.

I suck at picking up girls in pubs. Like, wow. Honestly. I reckon it's time to change tactics. No, I feel compelled. On to plan B. What's plan B? Well, it's something that's not Plan A, which will make me feel better for having, since Plan A hasn't worked. I haven't worked out the finer details of Plan B, as in what it'll entail, but I've named it Plan B, so that's a great start.

Like, totally.

faces and goo

The new Facebook is really beginning to irritate the life out of me. It's bloody slow to load up, not user friendly and complicated. And what the hell is with the compartmentalisation of boxes and applications on different tabs? I liked it when it displayed all the relevant stuff on one single page. Now it's too damn messy, I feel.

Now I can't even log in. Great!

I must say, I'm thoroughly disappointed with the recent offerings by Facebook and Google. Enough said about the lousy 'new' FB. Google Chrome is nothing short of being a spartan-esque version of IE. I don't think it's gonna be as popular as Firefox, let alone compete with IE. I could be proven wrong in the near future, but I have my doubts. Whatever happened to 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'?

Either the connection for FB is really fucked up today, or it's been blocked by the administrators at office. Speaking of which, the government has ordered, ordered I tell you, the Multimedia Commission to unblock access to all sites with immediate effect. Bemusing, considering it would have been the government itself who instructed the MC to block websites deemed critical of the government. Or rather, websites spreading the truth about certain politicians. Either way, it'll be interesting to see how things pan out.

Something is definitely wrong with FB this evening. Damn!

and still they will not listen

Once again, the ugly infestation that is Malaysian Media rears its despicable head.

Once again, self-proclaimed 'journalists' and 'reporters' flock to the aid of scumbags and lowlifes, oblivious to truth, integrity and ethics.

You can only shake your head and wonder, why haven't they learnt? Why haven't they realised their mistakes and shortcomings? Why are they still willing henchmen, eternally loyal to an increasingly desperate regime?

The results of the most recent GE weren't just a slap to the ruling party's face, it was mud in the faces of the invertebrates collectively known as 'the media'. My, how they twisted tales, and spun wondrous stories, and belittled the opposition. Oh, what joy they had concocting lies and glorifying corrupt individuals and criminal parties. Yet, it was all in vain. People were, and still are, fed up of mainstream media. Untrustworthy, lack of integrity, unethical, submissive, truth benders, tale spinners - pick your choice. Within the space of several months, the internet and blogosphere comprehensively trumped the newspapers and TV channels, consigning these ever willing government stooges to 'yesterday's news'. Politics? Go online. Local news? Go online. I reckon we can safely assume, Malaysian Mainstream Media is dead and buried. RIP.

On a related note, observe the rats as they desperately try to cling on to power. Some shout, some gesture, others whimper. Funny how they're so afraid of crossovers, they're taking study trips abroad. If you can't control them, take them for a holiday. How come the media has not brought up the wastage of funds involved? How is it they (the same media) has not questioned the necessity of such action? The crude answer would be - lack of balls. I prefer to be more refined - the non-existence of testicles. Plain and simple.

And what's with this short term memory syndrome sweeping across the nation? What's with all this talk of how it'll be detrimental to the country if the opposition forms the next government through party hopping? How come suddenly, cross overs are viewed with contempt? How come not a single individual in the government or media has brought up Sabah 1994? Why is an old crone croaking hypocritically about issues he used to suppress harshly and illegally? Why are certain individuals from a particular supremacist party allowed to mouth off racist remarks without fear of punishment or repercussions?

The only way things are going to progress here is by eliminating racism and religious fundamentalism, and all related entities. Forming a government through cross overs won't have such an adverse effect on the country's prosperity; having a government run by a supremacist party will.

It already has.
