Mindset of Penang about 'Foreigners'.

This is the general consensus from everyone, am sorry if it hurts your feelings but -

Indonesians:

If you have money come but don't stay. If you got no money don't come at all we have enough jobs for us not you.

When you are staying here for god's sake remember this is not a kampung. Penang is major city: do not walk in the centre of the roads, the up button on the elevator is for going up and the down button is for going down and finally do not drop your shit on the roads there are enough trash bin around.

We hate that goddamn haze your forest burning farming creates.

KL and other out of state people:

We don't like you and the way you drive. Do not drive on a fairly clear roads at 40km/h. FFS do not drive in the centre of a two lane road. Either one lane or the other, where do you think you are driving? In KL? Do not cut suddenly from one lane to another, we are in Penang there is not that much distance between cars especially during medium and heavy traffic you discourteous buggers. And use you damn indicators if you do want to make a quick switch.

To European foreigners:

We love you, do come again soon.

To sum in it:

We have enough cars here that it is stressful enough without more 'foreign' assholes on the roads.

We have enough people here that it is stressful enough without more clueless 'kampung' messing up the place and beggers looking for the good living instead and taking a proactive stance in your own country to make things better.

Battle Los Angeles

Well watches it so here is a guide to the movies.

The Aliens:
Wear exo-suits to move.
Their suits are compartmentalised to prevent death, like a ship's hull.
They have a large area that stores one vital organ on the right side of the chest.
Their suits does not protect against 5.56mm rounds and possibly smaller bullets like .45 cal.
Their weapon system is a plasma projectile that has an extremely short range.
They prefer to fire from a high position of more range or may arch their shots.
Their fuel is probably hydrogen taken from the water but may burn both the hydrogen and oxygen to have some recycling of the fuel.
They are completely fuel in efficient as all their vehicles have thrusters of some sort.
They'll population count is very low which is why their invasion force numbers a few 1000 actual soldiers and a few 100 remote drones.
They'll technologically inferior to humans expect for space travel.
Their only technological edge in combat cell/radio triangulation and minor RF/EMP interference.
Aliens are terrible shots or plasma weapons are an area effect style weapon.
They are completely resource strapped hence the attack on Earth because of the large bodies of water. Otherwise going to Jupiter would have been easier since there is no hostile forces there and its a huge gas giant made of hydrogen.

The humans:
Huge armies of millions world wide.
US military has enough guided missiles to wipe out all Alien ships 1000 times over but didn't employ that tactic.
Marines apparently are not targeting centre mass despite their training and inside are aiming either at the arms or legs.
Largest area on the Alien soldiers is their head and chest which the marines fail to hit.
Dilly dallied on launching full air and navel strikes against air assets.
Losing their airbase Independence Day style.
Has absolutely has no co-ordination with Air Force and Marines.
Pilots and tank commanders appear to either have not passed their training or are fitted with highly inaccurate and ineffective vehicles.
Plasma projectiles can't kill with one hit but seems to be able to take out scores of Marines and tanks.
Marines relearn to hit centre mass again during the movie.
Orbital satellites completely not used for any military action.

Conclusion:
District 9 + Independence Day = >Battle Los Angeles

Tentacle Porn from Indonesia.

You'll never believe until you saw it. Indonesia's best tentacle porn ever ahahahah.

The Sense of No Smell.

I caught the flu about more than a week ago. Which after a few days recovering from it my sense of smell was gone! I waited 4 days for it to return until I decided to do some net searching as to the cause of it. It was either a sinus infection or a flu virus. Best case my sense of smell should return in about a month. Worst case my nerves that are used to detect smells are damaged. Since my nose was totally dry. I mean totally dry as in no moisture at all I surf for remedies.

So not waiting for fate to play its hand I started rinsing my sinus with a saline solution of 1 tb of salt and 1 tb of baking soda. This got my sinus going again with pointing my nose to the ground my sinus began to drain. I snotted alot of luggies out finally and my sense of smell has returned slowly.

Now this is a quick post but let me tell exactly what happens when you do not have a sense of smell. Your tongue can only detect sour, sweet, bitter and salty flavours. It cannot detect the degree of intensity of those three flavours. That's right you can give a whole spoon of sugar and I can only tell it was sweet not how sweet. Your apparently plays a vital part in tasting all your food. As you chew the vapour of the food travel up the throat of your mouth into the back of the nose where it smells what you are chewing. Everything you put in your mouth is tasted by your nose. That is freaking incredible. So remember to love food you gotta love your nose.

BTW I was chewing and chomping whole chillies, seeds and all nonstop and I can tell I didn't feel any heat. Which means, you guessed it, your nose is in charge of telling just how spicy food is not your tongue. Sure my tongue tingled a bit but since the spicy oily vapours can't reach my nose's nerves it didn't bother me one bit.

Star Fleet thanks Nero for advancing their military technology.

Star Fleet should thank Nero for forcing them to advance their ship's (personal) weapon technology from the classic Star Trek Phaser beam below:



To what looks like a Burst Particle Canon which is similar to the advance technology Spock is using 154 years into the future.



Did I ever mention that this movie is the movie that brought be back to Star Trek ever since I dropped it when that Star Trek: The Next (fucking useless) Generation and all the crap that followed Star Trek VI.

Star Trek 2009 Blu Ray. Where the ray gun is gone.


As predicted in the Blu Ray release the Romalian gun has be rubbed out. Maybe they will do some digital touch up for G.I. Joe, like anyone cares about that steaming piece of shit.

From Paris With Love Trailer. The auto sliding gun.

Why is the slide already coming off the gun when Travolta has yet to grab it 2 frames later?

Star Trek whoopsie.

Haven't posted in a while so I thought I whip this out. Since I had such a good time spotting all the technical mistakes in GI Joe like Storm Shadow walking past the hover ships gun at the north pole which you can see the 3D mesh of the gunpod.

Here is another whoopsie I spotted in the cinema too while watching Star Trek.



Notice the phaser? Kirk jump to the platform and it is there.



Same phaser after Kirk dropped it after putting a hole in the baddie.

Apparently, the editor cut that scene with the end of the fight scene. Not a smart move. Expect it to be digitally rubbed out.

The logic of a pebble.

By now almost all of the movie goers around the world have seen the new Star Trek. Some have come to realise that Prime Spock (the Spock from the original Star Trek reality) told the audience that traveling through time only takes you to a different timeline of an alternative reality. That said, Prime Spock may never return to his own time and reality unless Spock is able to calculate and execute re-entry into his reality exactly the same time he left at the exact same spot he ripped reality.

Of course Spock that is good enough reason for Spock to hang around the current reality he is in until he figures it out. Even helps out the new gang once in a while. And if you wondered did he really travel back in time.... no he didn't. The time which Neo enter that reality was present time for them. Prime Spock enter the timeline as it moved 25 years onwards. Did he enter the future of that reality? In a sense, no. Because if he tried travel back in time after enter that reality he would enter another one. Thus, never changing the past of that reality. Confusing isn't it?

Anyway, about the pebble I mention earlier. If Neo never enter that alternative reality and killed Kirk's father will Kirk be like Prime Kirk in all manner of ways? Will Spock be Spock? Who knows but as the saying goes, drop a pebble in a pond and it ripples reach far and wide. Does the ripples change the direction reeds growing in the pond by 1mm? Does it raise the water level high enough affect growth rates? Does it introduces foreign elements into it unknown algae?

The effects will never truly be known but rest assured the traumatic event of having the Kelvin destroyed by Neo as the first encounter of the Romulan race on the whole known Universe. Think of 9/11 and how it affect us all and continues to do so and you will understand why Kirk is Kirk but exactly like him. Why Spock is a raging ball of self confidence and decisive action. Why Scotty is a little more bonkers than he usually is. Why Chekov is now just as able in Maths as Spork. Why Sulu is more outgoing. And so on and so on. Heck, because of that event the Enterprise technology is even more advance that the original Prime Enterprise.

Everything effects everything. No matter how small it is. Maybe, that is what Star Trek is really trying to tell us?

Paintball 08/11/2008

So we had paintball yesterday and I was trying out my remote line again with my SP1 without the stock to see if I can shoot accurately. Let's just say... at 6th and 7th Dec I will be using the tank as a stock and maybe the remote line on my backup MR3 (2nd hand if I can get it).

So anyways, the game started out ok, we played a total of 4 rounds on 2000 pbs. Unfortunately, we got jacked on the price and had to pay RM350 instead of the normal RM250 or even RM300.

The first round I got knock out by a hit to my mask's cap. Naturally, I didn't feel it and the other player didn't indicate I was hit but he still got hit on the fore-arm on the exchange of fire. He was annoyed that I didn't 'want' to leave the field cause I was hit. Luckily, I didn't need to explain to him that hits on the cap of the mask won't be felt since another 'pro' player told him as he fumed off the field. I did walk out when he complained about it after he got hit from me.

2nd round Fang hit me on the finger as he was sand humping next to some tires and I was firing from over my head. Not painful, don't why people say getting hit in the hand hurts.

3rd round my mask was fogging bad as with another player. As I was watching fang flank my far left (I was behind the moon and star bunker) the same guy that I hit out the 1st round, rounds the corner of my bunker.

Now, let me go in greater detail what happened for the record. He 'over kill' me. He hit me on my right lower rib cage, right fore-arm (which bounced), 1 on my marker, twice in the right shoulder, 1 in the right shoulder, 1 in the right of my lens by then I managed to put my left arm up to protect my lens and it got hit (it start to bleed lightly but I took a high potency multi-vitamin in the morning since I only had 3 over hours of sleep so the bleeding stopped after 2 mins without treatment). This is from 1-2 feet away. He then said, "why the fuck did you shot me when you was out?" Well, asshole, I shot you so that you will stop shooting me at that range.

He then got in my face and try to pull off my mask. I mean WHAT THE FUCK? I can forgive the over kill cause he is a n00b and panicked but trying to pull off my mask while pointing his marker at me while we are still on the field with people playing and Fang trying to bunker me from behind. That I cannot forgive. So you better watch out.

The 4th round I decided I was pissed and moved up when Marco ask for support for himself and Pongs. I got to some concrete tubes, which was very little cover when Pongs got tagged. He dumped his remaining pbs in my marker and he walked away, Marco went dry and walk himself off the field.

Great, I got Fang on my left, Jason on my right and Luke in the centre of their base. Fang, try to rush me and I tagged his leg. Jason, tried to bunker me and ran out of ammo or so he thought (he had one pb left) and walk himself off. Luke, at the time just ran dry too covering them.

So I called it a draw. I had still 9 pbs left but WTH I was tired of the game. And the 4th round was a good ending.

Chim's Wedding

So Chim asked me if I can go to his wedding dinner, so I hopped in a car with Tim, Fang and Shin last night and drove to Ipoh.

My sis ask me to take some shots of Ipoh since her buddy mention what a sweet place it is. So here are the shots.


So at a rest stop I took a few pics. This is at the ass of the stop or kindly referred to as the rear. Around 3 something. Malaysian rainy season made the shots gloomy.

This is the front of the rest stop. As you notice, more hills and trees. Along the express ways you will see: trees, hills, tress, hills, hills being stripped, tress.

We stopped off to grab a bit of munchies around 4:30pm at 'suburb'. This shot is an example of the skyline. If you look at a Penang shot even there was not 5 storey buldings there be trees all over the place. As you can see cars but almost no people. At this stage you should find axes, parangs and guns because somewhere in the middle of town the zombies are gathering.

So we arrived at the restaurant around 6pm and as you can see still gloomy. I love Malaysia. Really. This is Ipoh town. The hub. The city centre. Stuff happens here. Honestly. I been told it does. That beigish bulding is the Hotel Excelsior. The restaurant we are eating is the seafood place near it (where I am taking the pics).


The man of the hour.


Chim assuring his guests that any medial costs for food poisoning is on his tab. Hahha j/k.

Chim's little known career move.

Shin ask me to shoot him. So I shoot him like a super model. Looks professional for an unemployed guy eh?

Shin 'networking'.

Shin giving us the sign that he is not coming back with us tonight.


The gang: Fung (retired and rich), Tim (Dr Dolittle) and Me (freelance/loader consummer tech journalist).Group hugs. Shin saying farewell to us before his midnight rendezvous. haha. Now if you all think I should lose some weight and get back my high school girlish figure then I'll 20 comments saying, 'Slim Jim Dude.' And I'lll excerise 5 days a week, 20 minute sessions each day. Of course, that will never happen since no many people read this blog so I am safe, suckahs! Instead, I go with the Moggie regiment of 1 once a week.
