The Big iPod Rollout.

My love for iPods just grew to a cosmic level.

Go to the Apple homepage, now. Yes, right now, and feast your eyes on Steve Job’s latest money-sucking, mind-controlling, yet ever so lovable army of iPods. Well played, Steve, well played indeed. Rainbow colored iPod Nanos? Goddamn. The iPod Touch comes equipped with speakers now? Holy shit.

What? They’re cheaper now too? My god, I’m spewing foam out of my mouth from the sheer awesomeness.

Just. Look. At. Them.

Yes, I know, I sound like a total consumerist. You can’t blame me, though. I’ve never owned an iPod in my life, but my life revolves around it. I see iPods every single day. My girlfriend has one, my brother has one and my friends have them too. Hell, I even sell them. Well, at least I used to.

I’ve always wanted an iPod Touch. It latched itself onto my mind, through some unfathomable, mind-twisting force. It was rather tempting back then. I’d occasionally think about getting one, hinting my parents to get me one..oh, I don’t know, twice a fortnight? But ever since I saw the new line of iPods (that was roughly 5 hours ago), I’ve been begging non-stop. Practically once every hour. Plotting, scheming, hoping to squeeze some money from them before they blow every single cent on Aidil Fitri, which is just..20 days away.

I’m thinking, if this doesn’t work, I’ll just follow plan B.

You don’t know how much I love you, Steve. [Photo from NY Times]

What’s plan B, you ask?

I’m just praying someone out there has a huge ass crush on me and buys me one just for the heck of it. If you’re that person who’s willing to buy me a brand new iPod Touch, then give me a holler. We could arrange a trade, beneficial to both sides. 0:)

Fuck, I sound conceited. Then again, who knows, right?

Suddenly, Cats Everywhere.

I’m a sucker for cats. I’m not gonna lie. Pass me a kitten, and I’d play with it the whole day, biting my lips while I’m at it. Pass me a full-grown cat, and..well, I’d still play with it. Those adorable critters. Grr. Geram.

Oh, yeah. I think you know where I’m going with this one.

She loves her kittens.

I was at The Spring for the Cat Exhibition yesterday afternoon. It’s been a while since the last cat exhibition in Kuching. The last one I went to left me underwhelmed. Disappointed. I can’t exactly remember why, but I think it had something to do with the fact that I was popping flu pills by the time I was done.

The crowd checking out the cats on display.

The turnout for the event was pretty impressive.

I didn’t stick around for too long because I had to pick my cousin up from the airport, but an hour was more than enough to scout around. The cats that were on display ranged from the common household cat, to the rarer, more exotic ones like the Bengal and the Maine Coon. The adorable Turkish Van and Scottish Fold were there too.

The siamese cat. I think.

There was also a competition of some sort. The judge stood below the escalator with a mic in one hand, spewing out tips and tricks for the masses, while judging the participating cats. What I loved the most about the cat show? There were a few rare breeds that I’ve always wanted to see ever since Mom gave me the book on cats roughly 8 years ago.

Yeeah. I had a book on cats, and I think I still do. *cue audible scoff from non-existent reader*

Anyway, the rare ones were the highlight of the day. For me at least.

I’m not sure what breed this cat is, but it sure looks adorable.

The Maine Coon.

People just loved them. Obviously these cats have been taken care of properly. They’ve been groomed, fed, and showered with so much attention by their owners. Some of them love the attention, like the Bengal (not pictured), while some of them just look cocky as hell, curled up in a corner, not willing to move – like that Maine Coon up there – but heeeey, they’re still cats, and we love them all the same.

Purr.

Oh, yes. I love kittens, I love cats..and there’s one I’d like to take home with me. Rawrrr. ;P

The Cat Exhibition at tHe Spring started on Saturday (06.09.08) and ends today (Sunday – 07.09.08).

Two Girls One Cup: A Review

With so many content going around on the internet these days, you’d have to wonder what’s the worse thing that you can possibly find on the net. Just when you find something that you THINK is bad, something worse is just lurking around the corner. The fact that I spend time on the slum of the internet doesn’t help either. These things come to you uninvited.

Click on an obscure link, and BAM, some sick fuck two continents away is probably laughing at the thought of you cringing and gagging in front of your computer screen.

Just a few days ago, one of my buddies shared a sweet little video aptly entitled Two Girls One Cup. I’ve heard a lot of negative comments about the video, and I thought, “hey, here’s something that could actually kill my boredom”. So, there I was, in front of buddy #1’s computer along with buddy #2.

Not really Two Girls One Cup, but yeah. You know. [Poster made by futureKid of Cracked.com]

As Herve Roy’s song flowed through the speakers, we were greeted by the sight of two girls making out. “Yeah boy,” I said, while giving buddy #2 the handshake. The next 45 seconds or so practically glued my thoughts to profanities and words that express awe. That video made my day. Buddy #2 and I laughed, and laughed, then we cringed. Then we laughed again.

It was at the end of the video that I realized how fucked up we were.

Holy shitballs.

We just scoffed at the video. For the uninformed, Two Girls One Cup is basically..well, scat porn. Two girls, shitting, vomiting, and loving every second of it. It’s not recommended for the weak stomached, especially not for ones with wild imagination. It didn’t affect me as much for some reason, but I’m guessing it has something to do with me seeing a lot of worse shit than that. Pardon the pun, I just couldn’t help it.

If you’re into scat and lesbians who are into scat (I know some fucker out there has this fetish), or maybe you’re just a tough dude/babe, then Two Girls One Cup is the way to go. For the rest of you, avoid the clip like the plague. If it’s bad enough for the regular Joe, it should be bad for you. Then again, Buddy #1 just told me that TWO GIRLS ONE FINGER is something special. Maybe I’ll put that on the list and watch it some other time.

Here’s to the beloved chocolate ice-cream. You’ll never see them the same way again.

Are you a bad enough dude to watch it?

Pet Peeves.

Blog hopping is something that I seldom do. When I do blog hop (in hopes of stumbling upon a good read), I’d end up being disappointed.

Most of the time, Fate decides that letting me down isn’t enough. Fate slaps me right in the face then rapes my senses with visual and auditory nonsense. I. HATE. THAT. Pent-up anger is a no-no, so why not vent it here?

#1: Flash Music Players.

I appreciate the fact that you’re willing to share your taste in music with the whole world, but you really don’t need two songs playing at the same time (one from a music player, the other from a video player). It’s all about enhancing the experience, but seriously, you can enhance jack shit with two songs playing at the same time.

I often, if not definitely, browse with more than 5 tabs open at the same time. I can’t be bothered to check which tab is making the noise. Do your readers a favor. Let them choose whether they want to listen to music or not when they read your posts.

Of course, this does not irritate me as much as..

#2: Glittery text/images and/or animated emoticons.

If I want to read blocks of text with blinking images and huge emoticons like this all around, I might as well get an account on MySpace and wait for the obligatory “Thanks For The Add” comment. Or maybe, go on MSN for a chatting spree. Blinkies are NOT awesome. They’re annoying, so keep them where they belong.

I think you know where I stand.

#3: “Leet” speak.

Is it that hard to type out a few extra alphabets? Okay, this does not annoy me as much as blinkies and emoticons. I use them acronyms too on certain occasions, and I understand that people want things to be simple. To save time, to save energy, whatever.

But how do you expect people to understand what you’re saying if a large part of your post is made out of symbols and acronyms?

#4: You’re and your.

“Your” a moron.

#5: Gratuitous usage of colored text.

I don’t know what else to put here, since it’s self-explanatory, so I’m just going to give you a rainbow.

Hey. Colored words don’t look that bad..

If you use them sparingly.

Now, boys and girls, don’t you feel very educated today?

A Fresh Start.

I’ve always been bad with introductions.

No joke. Real bad. You can see for yourself.

Here’s to a new beginning.
