stick to blogspot larr. it's plain and simple writing a post to all involved. multiply is like an offshoot of friendster, offering too many features and lacking in those for 'substance', like kamun said... and it'll become just another familypoint. writing something is substance.

Dear family,

It is nearly 3am in the morning and I should really be sleeping, but I was so ridden with guilt that this blog was being neglected, I just had to -HAD TO- come here and type a little something. Oh right now I'm listening to Daniel Powter's 'Bad Day'. It's a lovely song.
Ur... what else to say? I've had a bad day too, yeah. But it wasn't really very bad, just rather terrible.
It's so depressing when I check my friends' blogs and almost all of them are abandoned. I mean, they spend so much time furnishing it, giving it a tagboard, a very attractive template and maybe even a hit counter... but when I look at it, I think, where's the substance?
Ok, I know I'm being very cheong hei and mo liew, but I seriously cannot sleep. I have mosquito bites all over my arms right now. Hopefully I didn't get bitten by a dengue mosquito. Ah well, it's the hols so I can afford to be sick. Not that I want to be, mind you.
What am I doing now? Listening to Evanescence's Heart Shaped Box. Very nice song, a bit eerie, but almost all their songs are like that.
Alright, I'll stop being so mo liew and get some sleep. I'm going shopping tomorrow with my mum, sis and bro. Ka Ling is going to be really annoying again. She turns into a green eyed monster whenever my mum is buying stuff for anyone other than HER. Like the other day, my mum got this blouse for her when we were actually looking for a blouse for me, but I didn't say a thing. When we were looking for shoes and my mum paid more attention to me, she got all sulky and wouldn't even follow us. She just stood there expecting us to coax her. Brat.

Ahh... ok, good night. Very soothing shade of blue, this.
Buenas noches.
Selamat Malam.

Hello, my turn to play icebreaker again, huh.

WAKE UP !!!
The whole point of having a freaking blog is to write in it! So, could we please have some bloody cooperation around here? I am seriously disappointed, I tell you. Everytime I check, this place is untouched, unchanged. Fine and dandy if this were a forest reserve or a historical site and is supposed to be untouched and unchanged, but it isn't, awright? So someone better write here soon. Oh no, the colours are fading... save meeeeeee......

Don't mind me... I'm just having fun with the fonts and colours... =D

hmm...

you know, that IS quite true. Not focused on adults. But I guess it has something to do with a large portion of the audience being teens. I mean, surely we want something we can relate to.
Haha, actually I can't give much comment because I don't watch anime ( unless you count the very few episodes of Rave and Gensomaden Saiyuki). And the only manga I've ever read is Shaman King, and that was about a year ago. There are adults in Rave, actually. And in Saiyuki too, in fact all of them are adults except the little kid (whom I guess is the anime's version of Sun Wu Kong) - i think.
I wouldn't say it's that limited to teens. It's not really the point that adult characters are being neglected, just that, they're not so important. Hence why bother focusing so much on then anyway. Maybe some people dont' even notice that certain characters in anime are adults, because of the way they act. Most of them don't act like your typical adult. For example, the so-called adults in Shaman King -- a gangster guy in search of 'the best home-sweet-home', a genius doctor who carries his wife's skeleton in his coat and summons her out for battle, a samurai spirit, a father who is bent on pushing his son to be Shaman King so he can regain former glory, a handful of stauch Christians who want to win so that they can rain revenge on the boy who killed their loved ones......................................
get what I'm saying???
All in all, i think it's a fuss over nothing.
But, u know, don't take my word for it because i'm probably just a wannabe.
And I still can't wait to watch FFVII:AC !!!!!!!
wakakakaka.......

I saw this view on anime from a forum and i thought it was quite a funny observation. Enjoy:

"Anime has become one of my main forms of solo entertainment recently, replacing video gaming and watching television as being on of the top indoor activities I do.

There are, however, pet peeves I have about anime. The reason I stick with anime over regular televison is that I really do dislike most television shows, whereas I still like anime but am annoyed by some aspects of it.

Teenagers. They are simply everywhere in anime. Sure, adolescence is a very telling time in any person's life, and from what little I have gleaned about Japanese culture it seems to be even more important and influental there than it is in the United States. Therefore the fact that many, many anime series focus on teenaged main characters doesn't really bother me.

What does bother me from time to time is that adult characters seem to be intentionally forgotten or written out of most series, often by outlandish means or by the simple realization that a shitload of anime characters have dead parents. I think a screenshot from Jubei Chan 2 recognizes the sort of flaw I'm talking about quite well:

http://www.capnjiffy.com/animescreens/JubeiChan2/jubeichan2_109.jpg

And it's true.

What I would like to know is why anime directors/authors/whatever you want to call them seem to have an aversion to actual adult characters. Most adult characters that do appear are one-dimensional and only appear in between the meat of the story.

Yes, I know about the exceptions, so don't point them out to me. That isn't the emphasis of this thread. The emphasis is why in the series that are focused on teens do the adults play little to no role."

Just wondering... what is Ka Mun's and Joo Khai's opinions on this since they are big fans of anime? :)

silence is golden.... golden....
i guess that is what happens to "un-owned" blogs like this!

anyway, my contribution for the day:
kamun i just saw the china photos and realised you and kaling have the same hairstyles! is it the trend now among teenagers to have no fringe? i guess must be all those korean dramas' influences. i didn't know Bruce Lee's parents were from there. speaking of him, i have the same hairstyle as bruce lee now. sometimes, when i m lazy and just wake up over the weekend, i look like dr. spock (star trek) too. all i have to do is wear some lycra top to complete the makeover! haahaha

has anyone caught some chinese makeover program on 8tv yesterday? basically they get a couple to participate by changing the girl's look (just like extreme makeover minus surgery). the catch is that the guy doesn't know about it. so on yesterday's episode, the couple nearly broke up due to the misunderstanding. see, for the girl to transform herself, she needed like 2 weeks and since it has to be a SURPRISE, she cannot meet the bf and keeps giving him excuses that she is busy. so the bf thinks she is lying and soured the relationship. and the host & producers of the show? they just "felt bad" and giggled. gee....

it was me on the 8th of sept

hey km, it was me ling J. The only 1 who responded to your plea. But my BM is pathetic. And I have always been proud of my C3 in the year 1991 (forecast SPM). But came 1992 the results were C6...not tooo bad. Just cukup...haha.

I have seen your photos. The sau lin tze ones only. Post more ...i.e. kirim di mutiply tu. Not letak. Get it. Haha. Got comments i want to make about kl's boobs compared to yours...oops i guess its all relatives here..should be ok. Uum better not...tell you when i c u in dec...cant wait.

2005-09-10T09:47:00.000-07:00

hehe... siapa ni?
tengkiu tengkiu...
akhirnya pun ada sedikit respons.
harap semua anggota keluarga kita pun akan mencontohi kamu dan mem-blog di sini dengan rajin sekali.
aih, setakat ini sajalah, dah lewat, saya pun hendak pergi tidur.
Ungkapan yang terakhir,
saya telah muat atas (upload?) beberapa keping gambar ke atas Multiply, jadi mereka yang ingin tengok gambar daripada China boleh pergi lihat. Maafya, begitu lambat letak di sana... tunggu ya, yang lain saya belum letak... kena tunggu lagi... seribu maafan...

ok ok km

Unbelievable after weeks finally someone has broken the ice. Ka Mun, thank you. You BM is sangat urrrr shit my bm is koyak. ummm lost for words. Anyway tidak kita tidak lupa keluarga tetapi tidak spend enough time with them eventhough we might live in the same city. True. Hardly home. Its a little too personal to discuss this in this blog.

...

2005-09-07T03:33:00.000-07:00

jook's right.
is everyone so busy that they can't even spare a few minutes to type something in here?

Pada zaman yang pancaroba ini, institusi keluarga semakin diabaikan kerana sikap manusia yang serakah dan terlalu ghairah mengejarkan kekayaan. Contohnya, semua anggota keluarga (you know who you are!) terlalu asyik dengan kerja sendiri sehingga tidak menitikberatkan hubungan sendiri dengan keluarga lagi. Tepuk dada tanya selera, wujudkah perkara yang lebih penting daripada keluarga sendiri?

don't mind me, I'm just trying to brush up on my 'bom' words. My BM teacher makes sure that we include at least a few bombastic words in our karangan so that our 'bahasa' (in the breakdown if the karangan assessment) marks are higher.

knock, knock

hi hi, i m so happy, my sis is coming back today! arrive on the 12.30pm flight!
ok, just a quick reply to ka mun and joo khai's entry.

to KM : dun worry, we'll meet up so i will keep you guessing! haaha
to JK : i guess i happen to click and read all those 3 entries by WL so that was why confusing.

so what have i been up to? checking out special doors.
yes, DOORS! how exciting :P :)
anyway, not that anyone really needs to know but now there are such things called fibreglass stacking doors.
great for your garage doors if you can afford it. cost about RM110K for one set. german product. :)

wah... sorry man. damn blur. of course alvin's the youngest, what was i thinking? maybe becoz of 2-yee, so i keep thinking 2nd child. yes all of us younger to alvin Will be a bit surprised to hear his naughty past.

don't worry u weren't neglected. i think i was in the same situation as u... we're very guai people, so after a certain time parents just leave us to our own devices, to grow and learn on our own pace. it's good. =)

my blog where got confusing. ok maybe it is, coz my thoughts are all over whenever i write, so instead of micro fiction piece it's like a compilation of events and thoughts. coz i get lazy to blog, so when i do, i write about a lot of things in one go, hehehe.

anyway wanlian - yea, my gf which some of u do and do not know... but saying it's confusing becoz of her doesn't make sense, becoz there's only like 3 of her entries in history.

so my last semester has started and i am readjusting. i hate readjusting. isn't it sheer bliss in the workforce, when all the measly readjusting u do is in the weekend, that it doesn't really count? er... i dunno. i think i'm being very cynical now just for the heck of it. just dowanna grow up, dowanna work, dowanna duties, just wanna hang out and lepak and for time to stand still.

ah hello ....
that malay lady's blog sounds interesting! Do u have the url, I would love to have a look...
haha, glad to hear that at least a few ppl read my blog... sometimes it seems like i'm writing more for myself (which, actually, is the whole point) but i like hearing from ppl too. if you have anything want to say, you can comment...
hey, remember u said you'd tell me what my 'present' was when we met, but it seems we dont' have much of a chance to meet.... T.T maybe someday...

alvin kor, i would love to whoop her on the ass, bt it's not sth my family allows... -.-""

jook, how can you say that? *horrified look* she reads this blog, you know!!! well maybe it's not so much boarding school but not enough discipline... discipline is very important, you know... parents play an important role in disciplining their children...well actually scratch that because most of my childhood i was quite ( i don't want to use the word 'neglected' because my mum feels very offended) ... ah u get the idea lar, and i turned out fine, dind't I ?

and, if alvin isn't the 2nd child, then it's kin kor, isn't it? ... hor... shh shhh, dont' say a thing to him.... ;)

hi guys!

it's me, tee lee. i am so happy i can get into this blog today!
for the past few months i dunno why but when i access it,
i get it linked to another person's homepage. so then i end up
reading their blog which can be quite amusing! the latest one
i read was this single malay lady raising her 3 kids.
her blog revolved around her family and her stories about her
youngest kid is pretty funny! apparently she was describing her kid
being so happy about going ot the dentist, jumping aorund saying,
"Yay, kita pergi dentist!" X 2
she was saying her own kid, the otak tak center! haahaha funny lady!

anyway, i digress...

so HY you coming back this weekend? that's cool!
i havent seen you in what... 3 or 4 years?
are you staying back for a while? cos tee ming is back on 22 july.
maybe you get to see her and her kids too!

me and tee ching set up this tmnet prepaid ONE thing over the weekend.
didn't have much success so we asked ah yap koko for help and he kindly obliged.
so now the thing is working, finally! we jut set this up so that tee ming can have
internet access during her 1.5 months here.

ka mun, i do enjoy reading your blogs, they are so full of 'heart' and realistic!
and they also remind me of the thoughts and feelings i use to have when i was back in secondary school.

joo khai's blog is sometimes confusing cos there is another writer, wan lian?
who is that? your gf, joo khai? i am just guessing! i thoguht wan lian was a guy then i read somewhere that
jk got so happy when wan lian squeezed his arm or something liek that.
then i figured... hmmm, have ot be a girl or else 3che will be pretty worried! hehehe

ok i better go now. regards to all. tee ching and me planning to cut hair with tee ming when she comes down.
anyone interested ot join us? no need to cut hair la, just excuse to meet up, catch up, have makan or a drink. will sms the
detials to you guys later.
bye!!

aww...

2005-07-11T04:31:00.000-07:00

hey JK...how am i the 2nd child? i thought i am the youngest?! hmm

anyways...kamun...thanks for the "alvin...brat?!?! no way!!!" comment =P
actually i was a real pain in the butt when i was younger...pretty much NEED to have everything my way...and sometimes i think that i contributed most of the stress that gave mum her stroke. anyways really dunno what to say about kaling. just stick to what you believe is right/good and if she gets too annoying...just open a big can of whoopin' on her ASS!!! =) hehe

hey i will be back in KL end of this week...catch up then ok!!! take care all!!!

aww isn' that sweet.

2005-07-10T14:54:00.000-07:00

aaahahah my sis also was sent to boarding school. hm see a pattern?

pui ling's piece of mind

2005-07-05T03:56:00.000-07:00

Alvin was a pain! But he was nothing like kl...because my mum was the victim. Maybe the word victim is not the right word, she was the only one that let him have his way. Well, he is the 'lai chei'.
Uuummm kl's issue is different. He irritated me, provoked me. So guess who is the one that gets the blame at the end of the day. If we look at history, send her to a boarding school. Ka Mun you will miss her. You will realize you love her. You really do. Thats my experience.

2005-07-05T02:52:00.000-07:00

alvin, a brat? no way!!!
(would like to hear what he has to say abt this, tho')

hehe... thanks for the advice...
so training her to be like that also means training myself to act like that ...

2005-07-03T17:24:00.000-07:00

first, be nice. if u are, then good. it's always good to be nice on your part. then when u really cannot tahan, let loose, like real loose, scream her down if she starts, and get violent. the point of this tactic is a to inspire Terror. but remember it's a long battle and this is just one tactic among many.

my dad the kindly uncle kuah uses this to great effect. in my entire life i've only seen him really mad for a few times but in these rages, not even heaven stands in his way. it's a terror crusade, which is why death is just a by-product (hehe). but it's a more pleasant story with my mom...

i was in the younger end of primary school and going through an extremely rude phase, and all my mom took was - one - overblown outburst, howling like a hurricane. yi ming jing ren, one drastic change. which also shows it is how u employ your tricks as well as when. i'd never have believed it of her. and in those tender years, a shock like this sticks so much so i've truly been more polite to this day.

think of it: u put her in her place, 'condition' her, and she'll respect u more in the long run. my dear bro and sis are also like this sometimes... which may explain a bit of me and a bit of why i'm the pacifist. =) anyway, if u make it very clear u have both in/tolerant sides, then she'll be more wary. around u, that is... hmm. that doens't solve the problem does it?

maybe alvin can shed some light. being a 2nd child too, and everyone says he used to be a brat.

2005-06-25T19:45:00.000-07:00

hey, good morning! it is a sunday.
wow, this place looks deserted....
anyway, i hope that the Mutiply thing works, otherwise we're back to square one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
the past week has been boring, so i dun have much to say ...
my sister has been extremely extremely extremely annoying and rude , and we don't know what to do about this. tolerate her, she thinks she can have her way. yell at her, she yells back at you. explain to her slowly, she doesn't listen.
so how???
p/s i'm not really expecting an answer seeing is no one really comes here anymore.
but if u have something to say about that, then pls tell me because i really dont' know what to do with my sis. X.X

please, ppl, next time you fill in registration forms, think of the poor people who have to go through stacks of forms and read all the cakar ayam... like me, right now. All these people are entering the poem recitation contest and I have to arrange their names according to class and competition group. I don't know what is wrong with these people, but some have really bad handwriting. One writes his 'J's and 'Y's nearly exactly the same, leaving me to wonder whether it's Je Yue or Ye Jue or Je Jue or Ye Yue. And another one by this Malay girl... yeah, i suppose malays are famous for their stuck-together handwriting. adoi.... I cannot figure out whether she's writing 'Seman' or 'Semah' or 'Selnan' or 'Selnah'. It looks the most like 'semah' so I'll use that.
Next time you ppl see your names printed out wrongly, don't complain first, think about how artistically you scrawled your name on the form and pity the poor secretary who had to squint and guess.

waw, it's June..

Anyways... i'm still not done, but i'm feeling so sleepy, i thought i'l log my work-hours (in HP its called Omega), and in my dazed state, i clicked on "Kamun" - and i thought `hey i still havnt read her blogs`... but then the page wouldn't load! error:cannot find server! :-O so.. i tried 'Familie' and got the same error... clicked a few times in my dozing state and then i saw "ding dong" and realised that i'm reading the blog. And now.. i'm typing some blog!

Well.. I'm waiting for my bro to compile the fotos from perhentian, the other guys got some great shots of sea-life ~ heheh, bet Pui Ling might start itching to dive.. and JK will be damm jealous! :-p
We can post photos here, yes?!?

Well, i'm putting GREEN words here, but wondering if it will get published black anyway.

LAters.......I gona check out 'Kamun' blogsite. By the way, i'm burnt like an Indian, but it's a "sexy" color according to Kamun :-P {hmm wonder what she wants, coz she NEVER compliments me....!!??}
