I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird...i'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of meInside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream

I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...Its not easy to be me

Life without Spectacles

I broke my specs few week ago, I accidentally sat on it! And because I am out of budget this month (I seems to be out of budget every month nowadays), I used the spare glasses I had, even the power is lower than my current glasses. And thanks to my carelessness and forgetfulness, the glasses is now somewhere in Surau in Giant Bukit Antarabangsa. Left it there when I was visiting Ustaz Luqman last Saturday.

Life is hell without glasses, I cant do look at the computer, I am having headache and nothing is get done!

Ordered a new one in Focus Point in Carrefour in SJ, the awek said, it will be ready on 2-3 days time, hopefully today it will be ready. I ordered thick rimmed 70s looking glasses. Wife and me had 'vigorous discussion' about my choice of glass, but that frame is the 'IN' thing now. Look kinda cool and fashionable. But most importantly it is tougher than the normal wire frame one. It cost me RM270++. (Look like I'll be out of budget in many many more months to come)

Every month money comes
and money goes
but the credit card balance
remain the same (if I am lucky.......)
but mostly
its keep on increasing every month...............


Bilalah loan kereta nak habis ni, can't wait for April next year...........



wearing the broken glasses for time being :(

Free Show........

While I was waiting for the feeder bus at the Sentral this morning, I saw a white guy was picking up his wife/gf/mistress from sentral. Look like the wife just came back form oversea trip. The lady was Asian (look like Malay and Chinese mix). When they meet, they had this longest French kiss I ever seen in public area in Malaysia.

They Kissed. Kissed and kissed even more. Then the guy practically lifted the lady and kissed and kisses again. After he put her luggages in the boot, the lady pull him back and they started again........ And all this while, rest of the people at that place just looking (or pretending not to look) But I selambe je tengok and smiling to myself.


Later at night I told my wife.

wife: bestye
me: Best apa, tak malu ker?
wife: dulu masa honeymoon dulu tak malu pulak.
me: that was in overseas, this is Malaysia.
wife: hmmm.............

Wife also always complains that I don't kiss her every morning after she drop me at the komuter station. She said, not fair, she only have to salam and kiss my hand while I don't kiss her back....
My response, is always the same.... 'malu' or 'segan' (but some time I do kiss her on forehead)


Any of you guys do this? Just wondering..........

"Selamat Pengantin Baru"

One of the thing that pisses me off at Fitness First is they don't provide Towel. Off course when you sign up, they give you small sweat towel. That's all.

I was delighted when I saw they stacked up lovely white towel at the counter last month. Finally! I can free up space in my work beg, towel really takes up alotta space. I was in ecstasy.

Me: Hi, may I have a towel?
Counter Gal: Are you a Gold member?
Me: No
Counter Gal: I am sorry sir, the towel is only for the Gold Members... But normal members still can take the towel, but we will charge you RM5.
Me: What the f*&k?!!! (off course I didn't say this, although felt like saying that, instead , I said)
Its ok then...thanks!

What the big deal about towels?! They don't loose any money pun, just send to laundry and use back only right!

Celebrity fitness is better (according to my bro in law who joined there recently) they give towel once you entered no matter what type of membership you hold and the membership fee is much cheaper!


So since most members are normal members, they bring their own towel, normally the plain white one, But, I don't want to do the 'normal' things, so I guess I am the only guy in the gym locker room wearing green towel with gold lettering that says "Selamat Pengantin Baru" hehehehhhe

Glemer jugak tu!

Emotional Creatures.........

Women are emotional creatures. This has been said to me many-many time by much wiser men. I have read it in many many books by many many famous scholars. Even in Islam, women are said not fit to be a leader due to this reason. But, the weird this was, I was skeptic about this, until recently.

All I can say is, do not bother to reason out with a women during 'that time of the month', you couldn't possible win. All logic and reason doesn't apply to them during this period. Any further argument will only worsen the situation, you might as well just agree to whatever is being argued, or just keep quiet and discuss the matter outside the period of "those days of the months". They will be more open to what you got to say that time.

I must say I am a slow learner, I have only learnt this after 4 years getting married.... Sigh..........

Say No To Gatsby Deodorant

X-Men United against Gatsby Deodorant!

Hereby, from today onward, I solemnly declare that I WILL NOT EVER use the GATSBY Deodorant ever!.

Have you guys watched the Gatsby deodorant on TV? I am sure anyone with the right mind would rush to the shop to get the deodorant.

I find the advertisement repulsive and disgusting. Not macho at all! Who are they targeting the advertisement at? School Kids? I am confused... Why a company spend so much money (and waste precious viewers' are time) to sabotage their own product! It is like they are advertising to convey the message to the men out they not to use their product!!!


The advertisement shows a dorky looking guy dancing with two bears/rabbit(not sure which animal) costume cladded guys. It is totally childish! It is like watching commercial for kids' toys!

P/S: Why I am so emotional? At least my wife agrees with me that that commercial is ridiculous, especially if it is targeted to male audience....

Mengurut..........

Last Saturday, went mengurut, actually for my wife, nak urut, bagi betulkan kedudukan rahim, but they also urut guys there, I also join la.

The pusat mengurut is in Selayang, but my wife went mengurut in one of the makcik house in that area, and I went to the Centre, the place quite big, 2 storeys, ada steam bath, ada doctor and all, they have about 20 rooms.

(apa le bahasa rojak ni, should stick to one...............)

One Indonesia guy (more like pakcik) messaged me. OMG, it was so painful! but I managed to keep quite, the pakcik said, "awak ni ok la boleh tahan sakit, kalau orang lain, dah menjerit2 dah". But only I knew how hard I tried to keep quiet!

As painful as it was, I didn't want the session to end, it was a pleasure to have someone attending your body, it was soothing, relaxing and painful at the same time.

Then the pakcik asked,
Urut Pakcik: 'Nak urut 'barang' tak, bagi power sikit, tapi kena bayar extra la, bayar kat kaunter bawah RM30'....
Me: Hmmm boleh jugak........RM20 tak leh ker...
Pakcik: Pusat mengurut ni bukan pakcik yang punye........
Me: Ok la...boleh la............

Then he urut the 'barang' as well la........ ( no further explanation required)

The whole session took about 1 hour. Full body message, it was good, he even managed to find out that there is urat tersimpul on behind of my neck ( I have been suffering with neck pain pass few weeks)

He said, my body a lot of angin, sebab duduk dalam air cond jer.....

The session was followed by 30 min of steam bath (with rempah ratus that I couldn't possibly know) It was refreshing (and suffocating) as well.

At the end, he said only can mandi after 3 hrs, so I put back my cloths, smelling like minyak urut, feeling sticky and left the place.

I recommend this to anyone, good place, very professionals, all the messieurs are Indonesia, very skilled. Whole body massage is RM60 about 45min-1 hour....


Be prepared to wake up next morning in agony of whole body pain though!

Can't belive they killed off Shanon!

1. LOST
I couldn't believe my eyes last nite when they killed off Shanon in 'Lost'. God! I was speechless, how can they do that. If they keep on killing everybody, who will survive at the end? And I really hate that the new survivors they found on the other end of the island, especially the though ass chick Ana. She is mean!

I really hope Shannon is not dead, maybe Jack can could help her to survive the wound.... or maybe the whole thing was Sayid's imagination (the island always play tricks on the survivors' mind anyway).Tension la. My friend told me he downloaded the entire season 2, and he said he can tell me the ending, NO THANKS! Don't ruin the suspenses or else I have nothing elso to look forward to every Monday.

2. DAGING MASAK KICAP.
Yesterday, after work, I masak, daging masak kicap, menjadi jugak, my wife said 'sedap giler', but then again, any food is sedap giler according to my wife ;)

3. GYM
Suppose to go gym yesterday, but woke up wrong side of the bed, neck paining, mum said need to jemur the pillow under the hot sun and beat the pillow. MAcam mana nak buat, awal pagi dah keluar remah, maghrib baru balik. Anyway, today must go, mana tau, kot kot terjumpa Sofea Jane ke (she really work out there, according to my fren)


Update: 3.03 pm !!!

Something interesting happened in the gym today. I was in sauna and there was another guy in there as well, we chit chat for a while......

Other Guy: How long did it take to get body like that?
Me: Like mine? banyak lemak lagi la (showing my stomach)

Other Guy: Mana ada, dah ok apa, the bottom of your tummy dah ada line, cantik kalau pakai jeans, tu yang mahal tu....

Me: ye ke...hehheh Thanks.... Kalau consistence 3-4 days per week, maybe dalam masa 3 bulan boleh dapat kot......
Other Guy: Ok .......


Hehehe I could not wipe out my grin from my face all the way to office.

Err.... Sorry for the confusion lady....

I was lucky to get a place to sit in Komuter this morning, I was very sleepy and felt weak because I just recovered from mild fever over the weekend. So.. I dozed off in Komuter for a while. Before reaching Kg Dato Harun, I woke up and saw a pregnant lady standing right infront of me, so despite being so sleepy I stood up and gave my place, the lady looked confused for a while and took my seat. I was thing what was that all about.

Then, while I was standing there, I realize that the lady wasn't pregnant but she just a bit oversized that she looked pregnant, I tried my best not to stare at the tummy. I really need to confirm if she is pregnant or not!

Reached Sentral, she got off, it is confirmed, she is not pregnant. She probably not even married. Ifelt bad, in cases like thie should I apologies? Or maybe she thought I was a gentleman kind enough to let a lady sit in a crowded train?

Econsave...........

The price war is going on in full swing. Everyday Tesco, Giant and Carrefour is claiming that they offer the chepest price in town. Carrefour started it by comparing it price with Giant (but without using the name 'Giant', but used the same font as Giant is printed).
After that Giant took another bold step by openly dispalying Carrefour logon in thier Shopping Cart comparison in thier hypermarket.
After that Tesco started to compare thier price with Giant and Carrefour!!! This is madness!
But after been to all 3 hypermarket, I consider Carrefour has the cheapest price!


But beware, there is a new player in the game and he is called ECONSAVE.
I bet bo one heard of this supermarket before, except those staying nearby Kampung Subang.
The store is very low profile, you woould not even notice that there is a supermarket if you drive by that road. Once you entered the store, you'd be surprised how crowded it is! And the price is much much more cheaper than all G, C and T !!!!

I hightly recomend this to all, at least give it a try, it is not as high class as the other 3 stores, but I can get all your groceries there.


Direction:
If you are driving from Shah Alam to Sg Buloh, at the Traffic light infront of Monterez Golf Club, turn right and drive straight, ECONSAVE is on your right.
