Dude Meets World

OMG!!!! The Dude Is Still Alive

Yea...i'm back after 6 months on the high peaks of Himalayas meditating for spiritual well being and world peace...then i decided it all backfired...more quakes  more blood shed and by the way, who the heck is Obama? Other than that, life's pretty okay ...still waiting for that 1st million (Adsense sucks!)


And hey not forgetting this happened!!!!



Ah well...no surprises there...is Liverpool still in premiere league?

And the dude is bigger..better..stronger....well chubbier actually....still waiting for the right day to step into the gym downstairs...actually convinced myself this is the perfect apartment because of the gym...i did the first step...downloaded "Eye of the tiger" by Survivor ...it never went beyond that. Gym shorts don't fit anymore.Gotta get a new one.While i know there will be 50-60 readers daily that will still read the crap i write i just wanna say sorry for the long and uninspiring hiatus.I am still over the moon that I'm living under opposition rule here in Penang.I can already see some changes..good changes, nothing more to add that could hurt BN's pride.
K..then till we meet again.

They Must Think That We're Idiots

I was reading the Star Online and one news that caught my attention was that the police are looking at over 8000 drivers who accumulated more than 15 points to bring forth their licences.Well i have to say that I am really happy to be rid of these drivers...well at least for now while they have time to reflect themselves by going back to driving school.
But my concern here is not only about them but also it came to my mind that somewhere last year it was revealed that several ministers actually had a longs list of unpaid traffic summons.Now if im not mistaken even our deputy prime minister had about RM7000 unpaid summonses , some dating back to 1999.Can somebody tell me what the heck is going on here?Why are they still having their driving licences?Datuk Seri Samy Vellu himself has 143 traffic summonses.Can somebody bring a calculator here and count the potential accumulated points for that?First of all the law says that for that unpaid amount he should actually be facing a jail term.But how does ministers in this country get away with all these while expecting the citizens to be law abiding ones.I don't care if the DPM was singing "It wasn't Me" but that traffic summonses doesn't come from thin air...does it? Somebody must be accountable for it and that somebody must have their licence revoke.
Im not sure but i think they must just really think we're bunch of idiots to accept ridiculous excuses whenever they are caught without their pants on. Ministers who did not pay the taxes for cars they brought out of Langkawi ...they should be punish by the law and the mere summons is just a joke.They can't say they just forgot to pay coz its not a sack of peanuts we're talking here,it's a 1 tonne monster.Somehow ministers always gets away with everything and i'm sick of it.We have a liar in our beloved Jasin MP who claims at first it wasn't his company but later it was found that it was on his interest that he ask the customs to close one eye.A liar in parliament?Boy these fellas sure has thick skin.
Lets not forget we have a real estate tycoon in our Commercial Crime Chief who accumulated wealth like as if he was a pro.He should be writing books like " How I Secretly Became A Millionaire In Real Estate While I Bust Dirty White Collars". For those of you who's still trying to make your first million in real estate.......oh snap!!!!!!

Sacre Bleu!!!! We sold the crap off !!!!

What would do if you have tons of second world war weaponary and a host of obsolete war ships stuck back in the naval backyard? Why sell it to the Malaysians of course!. You can never go wrong with that. There's always a fool here who would even buy your used millitary underware supply for a billion bucks. All you need to do is find the right ambitious fellow whose got connections with the defence ministry and pay him some commision.Yeap.That's it. In case you're wondering I'm referring to the two scorpene and a refurbised Agosta submarine( which costs us RM 4.5 billion) that we proudly display as part of our heavily under utilised naval fleet.If you take a look at the picture,you will beforgiven if you mistakenly thought it was pieces of Pringles(TM) welded together which is capable of boarding 100 very daring sea crew.Now i've wrote about this about a year back crying out to the goverment about the bad deal they're getting themselves into, but i guess it fell on deaf ears.
Now what would you make of this? Apart from a guy's greed to even sell his country off for some monetary gain I can't see anything positive at all.Maybe i'm not seeing it rightly.Maybe I should take a look from their point of view but i am having difficulty seeing that far off my arse.
Through our comical history of national defence we have seen how many of them, aircraft and helis crashing like there's no tomorrow.You name it, all the sawah padi had been visited by at least an aircraft.The Nuri's ? don't even let me get started.Sadly, none of the fallen angels was shot by a single stray missile.It seems nature itself is our worst enemy.We might need to form an alliance just to fend them off.
But accidents do happen, don't they?Maybe. Frankly i don't even trust the submarines in the hands of our national defence. After all they were easily robbed hundreds of guns from their armoury couple of years back.What would stop this from falling into the hands of smart pirates? In fact who figured that anyone would use the straits or any oceanic means to attack this country in the first place? If I were the enemy the best way I know to infiltrate this country is via down south.Thats where millions of Indons miraculously gain entry into Malaysia without trace.Heck they could send in a batallion with our lines not even take noticing. In fact, if they wave a jalur gemilang, they may even get to vote.

Coined the term 'weblog,' never made a dime

Im not sure if the name  John Barger actually rings any bell to any of you.If you haven't heard of the name then its already sad.Some 10 years ago, Mr Barger was the first man who actually started a blog.in 1997 he started posting short comments and links on his website called Robot Wisdom.It contains articles that is mostly self authored with links on various topics including Barger's favourite subject, artificial intelligence or A.I as we all know it. Robot Wisdom became a phenomenal hit and talks of a harcopy version of it was even mentioned in the 2000-2001. Barger's prolific postings on Usenet made him famous, if not popular of course this was before the blogosphere came about. Later Barger's posting became more of links to articles by James Joyce,AI, IT culture among others. By 2005 Barger was already in a financial difficulty and was trying his best to generate revenue via paypal donations. Sadly by end of that year Paul Boutin, a writer for Wired magazine spotted Barger with a familiar face who was a friend of Boutin. Barger was homeless and was living on the streets.Boutin mentioned that Barger was living on less than a dollar a day.He couldn't afford to renew Robot Wisdom and  but finally after a  plea on his free hosted blog to save Robot Wisdom he managed to collect enough funds to save the site. Recently Barger was spotted in Arkansas but still its everyone's guess what he's up to these days.Considering that  some bloggers actually made big bucks from their blogs,it is a sad turn of events for the person who actually first brought the term weblog to the world wide web.

Nuffnang In Deep Sleep

Its been a week now that the people at Nuffnang is providing me with ghost links.As you can see the box is empty with some advertisers ad but without image and without the proper links.I've checked elsewhere(other blogs) and the situation is pretty much the same.Who's doing the coding for Nuffnang?You know when I sign up I knew its not gonna work since everybody knows banner links don't work especially seeing that there are only a few companies rolling in the money for Nuffnang.In fact honestly Ive seen only 3 different ads displayed.One..exabytes two..some futsal thing..three nike jangan togel.Hardly would produce any effect unless you have a small goon army of Nuffnang clickers.Not eveyone who visit your site is looking for a webhost.With graphical banners readers don't really want to click the ads unless they really want to play futsal...or looking for a webhost.But hey some bloggers do have success with Nuffnang somehow despite the odds. I've read many blogs and I know very well that banner advertising can't be as effective as contextual ads.Lots of bloggers have since given up on Nuffnang but I'm not going to do just the same.I signed up with them to show some support since it is a Malaysian startup.I don't care if I don't earn much ,as you see in this blog I couldn't care less about monetization since this is a personal blog. I have five sites/blog and only 3 of them do I applied any sort of monetization model. This blog (besides some nice looking affiliate banners that I added to fill the otherwise empty sidebar)and another site where I dedicated to provide some Christianity resource I refrain from doing so.
So Nuffnang please get your act together and see to the seriousness of this matter as soon as you can.Im too lazy to write a complaint as I'm sure some dude somewhere would have done it.

Update:Whoa!!! would you believe it....4 hours since i posted this entry and now my nuffnang box is showing ads again and its in flash!!!!...im not sure if it was me or maybe its just purely and timely coincidental but anyways good job guys.

There and Back Again...A Chubby's tale

Today is a weird day.So was yesterday...and the day before that....hmmm . I woke up in the morning feeling awful.There's something funky going on in my stomach.My wife made an experiment yesterday.She prepared an extraordinary pancake with some extra ingredients like cinnamon powder and other stuff. It was great.
After fetching her to work, i thought of calling it a day and just sleep off the whole morning and afternoon.However the plan did not materialised after I woke up about 11.30 am. My stomach is feeling a lot better now.I decided to walk down the nearest nasi kandar restaurant which normally would take me about 10 minutes.So it goes the dude went for a nice stroll towards Subaidah.In Penang there's like a thousand of Nasi Kandar restaurants each claiming to be the best.There's Subaidah,there's Ibrahim,Mohammad,Pelita ,Aruna, Kassim and all the mamak name you can find in the phone directory.
As I was walking, a 12 wheeler past me by(or was it a 16 wheeler? i'm not sure as i'm busy jumping off the street to save my butt).Now I've been noticing the same kind of trucks each time going towards the port.These truck are carrying loads of scrap metal to a nearby scrap yard.Im not sure but I think there's a scrap metal exchange program going on here as i see them bringing scrap metals in and out at the same time.They place these scrap metals in 3 huge rusty containers.Its so rusty that 10 seconds staring at it ,you'll need a tetanus shot.
So I was on my way again ,this time walking closely next to the drain.Im not sure how Penangites get acustomed to the stagnant water they see everyday. Didn't anybody make any complaints? It's green and gooey ...I wonder if I actually followed the trail of these drain i'll end up at the dead marshes where the first alliance of men and elves stood to fight the tyranny of dark forces lead by Lord Sauron.Ok... so i actually didn't end up there but close in fact. Its Subaidah, a popular Nasi Kandar chain here in Butterworth.
The "aneh" took my order...tiga roti kosong...hehehe, chubby dude has no plans of keeping a strict diet. 10 minutes gone by and my roti kosong is wrapped nicely under a nice piece of news paper. Mas sticking to Oct 1st date....yeah right!!!
So i went to the cashier counter..there's and old man behind the counter.He was there when nasi kandar was born.There's a middle aged lady in front of me.Chubby...probably had 3 roti kosong as well...and still have enough room to have some take away.Hey, I think chuby girls are cool but they should know what to wear to keep it that way.This lady was wearing a really tight fitting pair of jeans and I'm almost sure that it was sewn on her couple of decades ago.She smiled...I smiled back nervously keeping my ears sharp to any sound of a single thread snap from the side stitch of her jeans. Any sound and I would take cover just in case the jeans exploded into tiny bits and pieces of thread.It didn't happen. So I was just getting too carried away.So it was my turn to add extra funds to the ever growing franchise called Subaidah.Rm 1.80 . Damn! I wanna open my own mamak stall too.Im sure i can manoevore oily dough on air. After all I had disc jockey training many years back. Pretty much the same.I paid old man river and slunk out of the restaurant. So I  head back...double time...my stomach can't take it anymore. Head towards the guard house and paid homage by waving my left hand at  D'Artagnan and his muskateers(that's what my wife and I named the guards ).
Walked towards the condo building and finally home.....In goes the 3 roti kosong in record time and continue reading Kua Kia Soong's May 13. Life is good.

Song of the day:

Perut o perut kenapa engkau sakit,
Macam mana aku tak sakit,
Makan "pancake" bini engkau...
Makan "pancake" bini engkau.....

Hehehehe...

Live Earth Concert Is A Big Joke ,The Message However Isn't

Well I'm sure most of you actually managed to set some time off during the weekend watching the Live Earth concert.My wife and I spent almost 15 hours collectively and we both have our favourite artists to catch.She's into Madonna and Kelly Clarkson and me the hard sounds of Linkin Park,Foo Fighters and the long lost Genesis.the message is clear..that our earth is dying as we speak and the only way the message can be spread across is through these bunch of artists that probably caused it in the first place.Why on earth would I want to listen to Madonna's plan to combat global warming and telling it suggestively while grinding on a black guitar?
The sad truth is 80% of world waste and carbon footprints are caused by 20% of these high society members and they are trying to tell us the 80% of the world population to save the earth? Its a freaking joke...how many of them actually came in private jets?I bet almost all did.That's a bit tad hypocritical when you actually want to make a statement to the world.
John Buckley of Carbon Footprint, an organization that helps companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, said Saturday that Live Earth will produce about 74,500 tons of the gas!!!"We would have to plant 100,000 trees to offset the effect of Live Earth," he said, speaking by telephone to folks at Washinton Post.
So does Madonna has the right to right the wrong?After all her anual carbon footprint according to Buckley is 1,018 tons or about 92 times the 11 tons an average person uses per year.
Then of course you've got Snoop Dogg whom together with Akon,Ludacris Xzibit and Fergie contribute about 20% of the condom industry's half million tonnes of waste.I mean look at all the freaking blings!!!!I almost got blinded with that gold plated neck rope Snoop was seen wearing.Don't they have a single freaking appropriate song to sing?Drop it like its hot? No sir!! Don't drop it...if your crotch is feeling hot keep it tight....it may help to reduce global warming!!!!!
Seriously if you ask me there is conspiracy theory in this(isn't there always one?). Do they have to send Sarah Brightman over to China to kill the folks there with her bowel vibrating vocal talents? Why can't they just send Snoop there?? Maybe they'll make a meal out of him...(Dogg meat anyone??) ok lame joke.The only artist I know who's been actively involved in these kind of campaign is Sting himself .
