Bel19VE and In Your Face, HATERS!

Sometimes, it's just a simple believe, that makes miracle come true.

I've had enough of rival fans' bickering on my team. Heck since when was it I started defaming your team? Compared to you guys, I have EVERY SINGLE REASON to belittle your team and cooked them up into ashes, should I want to...

Arsenal is a great club don't get me wrong. Their attacking football are splendid to watch. If there was to be an English Barcelona, it would be Arsenal. No doubt. But Gunner fans, who are you to criticize Man Utd when your team have gone trophy-less for even I-lost-track-of-the- barren years?

Liverpool are still England's top European team. In terms of history though. Yes 5 European cups, a feat that still stands till today. But no longer England's champions and a barren run second to Arsenal. Yeah bask in history Anfield fans. And sorry to say that among the top 5 team, Liverpool's squad is the worst. Yes. Tottenham's squad is better by Liverpool's by MILES!

Only Manchester City fans have the rights to brag, if they wanted to. Kicked out of every cup competitions, with the same situation as Manchester United, well the only thing to brag about is 2 points above us... 1-6? Jeez that's history! Even I never mention 8-2 to our dear fan up up there XP

Chelsea. Probably the second rotten tomato next to Liverpool. Face it. AVB just isn't the manager who can cope with BPL's stress. And with majority of the players older than him, it's hard to maintain the team without that seniority punch...

Tottenham are relatively new comers to English football's powerhouse. All of their players improved drastically over the years and some really shrewd buying really galvanize the team, making them a challenger for the top 4 places.

There. FACT. I still cannot accept why are there so many biased and crazy fans out there who are singing hatred and racism on football. You love your club till your death. Fine. But belittle and dismiss Manchester United as a great club? That's even worse than not knowing the ABC's and 123's

Seriously. If you hate Manchester United that much, better go get a medical check up. You could be suffering from disillusionment or ManUtdphobia... Of course they don't really bring you any harm, but if you wanna be happy, I'll suggest stop watching football... You are gonna burst your balls everytime Manchester United wins... Seriously... :)

My Thoughts on PIPA & SOPA

Yes I know it's been quite a while since the SOPA and PIPA online protests were done. Am grateful to say that I was one of them that signed the petition against SOPA and PIPA.

SOPA is the acronym of Stop Online Piracy Act. To put it in layman terms, it's a law proposed to stop online piracy, which is unlicensed downloading without needing to pay a single cent to rightful owners of the material.

PIPA is also almost the same as SOPA. It is the acronym of Protect IP Act, which curb access to rogue websites dedicated to infringing and counterfeit goods.

Now at one look no doubt both act does bring good. But the truth is, hell no. Every single site that has no rights in publishing what's that not theirs will be deemed guilty of owning or acquiring something that does not belong to them in the first place.

I can't deny that IF that both acts were to be carried out, the ultimate winners will be the manufacturers of branded goods and the entertainment industry. Everyone would have to buy REAL and genuine goods and music albums, movies and so on. You won't even have wikipedia or solutions for something which usually can be googled.

Now the problem that arises, in my opinion, is how slanted or distorted our world now is. Entertainment is one of the biggest industry. At the end of the day, one must realize, that every person needs a dose of entertainment to rid the stress or boredom. It doesn't matter if it is games, songs or movies, the truth is, it is almost impossible to live without entertainment these days.

Yes it sounds right and correct to buy genuine game CDs, music albums, go to cinemas or acquire original DVDs or Blu Rays, but the problem is, how many people can really afford it? To start with it, it is not cheap. And second, is the quality really worth the price? Spending around RM50 for a music album, where only maybe 3-4 songs are of top quality. A song priced at RM10! Uh a big NO for me...

And the third reason is, the many sites available for unlicensed download. Yes technically and morally, it is wrong. But the thing is, everyone wants a profit. If there is a website that pays you to direct traffic to it's site by allowing you to upload what you own ( example the bought original CD) to it's site and allowing people to download it, maybe for free or cheaper, who wouldn't want to? Yes again, it is wrong. But there are plenty things and rules in this world that people break when it comes to generating profit.

And last but not least. Think about it. I know this point may sound really bad and makes me a staunch supporter of online piracy, but do think again. Even with online piracy raging, Our artistes from Hollywood are still making millions and gazillions. Money and untold riches that we normal people will never achieve in our lifetime. With the meager or just enough salary or pay to live through everyday. Face it people. the living standards are getting higher. Prices of food and things have been rocketing like mad. But the sucky part is, our salary will never be enough. That's why people nowadays invest, compared to the good old days of pure hard work.

If SOPA did went through, most people would have to dig deep in their pockets just for that dose of entertainment, in the end making the rich even richer, hence widening the contrast between the rich and poor. Basically I don't really care for the one's who benefit from SOPA. They have enough. Enough of a record revenue bla bla bla. The more you cooperates want to earn, the poorer we have to be.

It's sad, maybe biased. But this is what I see from my point of view in the current situation. As long as everyone is happy with what they have, piracy, to me does give a blessing in disguise to the majority.

Online piracy is just one of the great loopholes that wasn't planned all the way along. Well safe to say at least, even if one day that SOPA and PIPA were to come, the free people's of Earth would have Lulsec and Anonymous to fight for us, right?

Of course, works that are EPIC and brilliant should always be purchased. Which is why I am eager to land my hands on everything related to "The Lord Of The Rings" and "Pirates of The Caribbean", movie and soundtracks.

Yoho yoho, A Pirate's Life For Me? :3

Anger. It's an emotion, a negative one that empowers one self, sometimes eats up the sanity of one, should there is no proper control.

It is normal to feel angry when things don't go your way； feel frustrated, or when people overdo things or pranks at you.

Yes I am kind of pissed now. But rather than shoot back at those who irked me with my comments, it's time to just cool down in other ways, like blogging.

I used to shoot back at friends (friend by the way- he is like the only who irks me with his comments) who irked me on facebook . Yeah they maybe joking, but considered as overdoing in Facebook as every stupid thing they comment can be seen by everyone else. But shooting them back using comments is no great way to manage anger either. Cause the comments I shoot at them, will in the end be seen by others as well. And most of the time I will regret posting those silly comments to make myself feel better.

I'm cutting down the usage of the "F" word quite well I should say. In fact cutting down on other words that are not really lewd or obscene, but not pleasant to the ears as well.

And also anger management. I'd say I'm really doing pretty well. Funny how I lose my temper easily; or I should say how easily I am irked on Facebook than the real life person me. Maybe it's because when people joked in front of you, it's just between you and them right?

So that kinda justifies why I get agitated easily online.

But it's other people's facebook and freedom of speech. If it doesn't really have any negative effect or defaming, I'd guess I've gotta man up and be more tolerant.

That's the part and parcel of life. And also part and parcel of learning.

Cheers OJP. :) Don't let one silly comment spoil your mood~!

Vow

Okay. Time to use that remaining holidays with beneficial returns , rather than slack... I think I have enjoyed enough of Chinese New Year...

Happy Chinese New Year

Barely a month after the New Year, it's the New Year again ( It's the Lunar Chinese New Year I meant!)

Well just like every other New Year or Chinese New Year, it's always nice to sit down and ponder and look back the the year that passed by, which I always do ( Say NO to New Year partying please and thank you! XD ). And erm. Yeah last year was very different to this year. Last year I was scrapping pass my intern, and my reunion dinner was at KL.

Funny thing is that that memory is still fresh in my mind. Although it's not exactly one year that has passed if we were to consider the Gregorian calender, it's still almost a year ago though.

Well I guess happy memories does stay imprinted. But haha. I kinda lost touch of Chinese New Year 2 years ago though. Well maybe next year's Chinese New Year will wipe away last years memory?

I hope that I can can continue making my resolutions come true as stated on 1.1.12. And yeah, I hope my friends, family, loved one's etc etc. will have a prosperous year ahead.

Seriously I'm not a fan of Fengshui. So if Fengshui is against you this year, well be thankful that I'm at least one guy out that who doesn't give Fengshui a thought and hereby wish you all, Happy Chinese New Year, and have a wonderful year ahead!

By the way, since it's the Dragon Year, I'm gonna post some pictures of dragons XP. Top 5 dragons of my opinion.

5. Rayquaza - Pokemon Emerald

Good Old Rayquaza as number 5

4. Leviathan - Mythical creature

Leviathan, the mythical sea creature/dragon as one of the keepers of hell

3. Fell Beast - Lord Of The Rings

Technically speaking a fell beast isn't a dragon, but let's consider it as a dragon, since it's so epic and looks like one XP

2. Smaug - The Hobbit

Yes The Hobbit is in the making. However how Smaug is isn't been illustrated yet in the movie. One bad arse dragon I assure you people.

1. Bahamut - Final Fantasy IX

I've only played one Final Fantasy before. And Bahamut deserves top spot. No elemental attacks. Just one cool hyper beam that wipes everything off. XP

Just nice. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE! XP

Study Week

This is one of the few times, or the one time, when you have a study week in the middle of the exam week. Thanks to USM's schedule, My next paper is gonna be on the next Friday.

Good or bad? Well depends on how you look at things and how people study. People who have slow progress like me, find this quite on the good side, although plenty of time mostly means plenty of time wasted.

It's still a long way to Friday paper. But I'm pretty sure time will pass by swiftly~!

Night world~! :)

Of The "F" word and Profanities

Come to think of it, I used to use profanities a lot (last time!). And when I think back, they don't sound great, and I did not look cool.

To make matters worse, my mum was a teacher. Yeah. I think I let her down and brought a lot of shame (although I use them at home, but I guess they were loud enough for the neighbours to hear me).

@#$#%&&#*#*(!!!!

Well I was in my adolescence years. Rage. Rampaging hormones, adrenaline. You put me with my brother, another teen, you get hell. We always quarrel and fight. And he was the pro in cursing poison; I was the profane pro. Ah.. double shame for my parents.

I would not say that I was right to use profanities back in my teens. But I cannot deny that it isn't a norm. It's a norm to curse in profanities back then, when we tend to get angry and not choosing the physical way to show the un-keep-able rage. So compared to those fighting, we were considered mild and delicate... (LOL)

Well of course I have learn not to utter these words now(well the truth is I cut down on it. A lot too!) We're now living in a world, where what the Westerners do, is what to be followed. "Sh*t", the "F" word, and other profanities seem to be a norm nowadays. We've been to movies, listen to music. There's always the "F" word there. The world has become, more and more accepting with the usage of profanities. (It's a FACT! You can't deny this!)


One very good example is the emergence of the Internet memes. For those of you who aren't sure what Internet memes are, well perhaps you should've seen them before...

Happy Family~!

So there's this one meme that goes like this...

I've censored it! You guys know how to fill in the blanks, don't cha? XP

Using memes is a growing trend. Heck I started using them. And used them all the time. And I used it without realizing that everytime I use it, I'm using a profanity. I rarely, or you can say never (or perhaps very seldom) use profanities on facebook. It strucked me today. Hard.

Yes using memes is fun. Sometimes it's so fun that you don't realize that you're using a profanity, unintentionally. Although it's not wrong to use it, it's just not the right thing or word to use.

I'm no teen or adolescent now. I'm already 22. By age, I'm already a man. I should be rationale and be able to know how to react, or how to manage my anger, and not just depending on profanities to cool my head.

Cause deep down inside, I know that every time I use it, I'll make the people around me look down on me, and also bring shame to my parents, for failing to bring me up as a well behave and polite child.

Yes I've improved a lot compared to myself when I was a schoolboy. But life is always about improvement. I am now someone who rarely use profanities. Now I wanna be someone, who doesn't uses profanities. Not even the mild ones.

I'll just have to think of alternatives then... :D

POMPELE!

POMPIANG!

(:D))

*thank you SNSD for letting me learn a lesson today. Watching one episode which take one hour of my precious study week time, is DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
* YoonA, I'll promise to be a better man. I'm YOUR MAN! ^.^
