Stupidity is idioticracy.

Yes, they are booklet tickets to put on any non-disabled vehicles that park on parking for the disable only. 

KK do not have that many parking for the disabled. And the disabled parkings are managed well by the authorized managements. It is such a funny thing to see how some individuals could honestly think that stupidity is a disability. I understand that you can't see the sign if it is the size of a pea. But when the sign is as big as your car, I can't really say you didn't see, right? Or else how can you drive then? 

I think it is a great idea for such ticket are made and humiliate those ignorant people through Facebook. But at the same time, I felt like humiliating them on the Facebook and allowing harsh and hateful comments on the photo is unnecessary. I am not defending those ignorant individuals, just giving a peace of my mind bah. Posting the picture is humiliating enough but being called stupid, retards, blah blah blah is kind of putting it to another level called bully. Tapi tidak tahu lah, I am not a Saint either but since last time I got into trouble for Facebook, I learn to comment nothing if I have no nice thought about anything. 

Anyway, I applaud the admin who made this idea into a reality. 

Remember folks, stupidity is not a disability.

Did you know? 

In Malaysia, a bad driver would be called 

"the owner of a Kopi-O license" (lesen in BM).

Kopi-O is strong black coffee with sugar and no milk 

which is also a local idiom for instant.

Lesen Kopi-O is also indicates a type of license that owned without 

following the legal procedures and can be got in an instant. 

So Lesen Kopi-O is a local idiom to be shouted at any bad drivers.

Relationship and ground rules?

An inspirational individual had a talk to me about trouble marriage. One of the thing he said to me that makes me wonder how true about it:-

If a husband had cheated and had an affair with a or more women, though she would never forget, the wife would always be able to forgive and stay with the husband for love or for the children.  

In the other hand, if a wife cheated and had an affair with a or more men, the husband usually would never forget nor would he forgive and leave the wife for the sake of his ego.  

Therefore, if a man is able to forgive his cheating wife and stayed for the sak of love and children, he is more of a man than any man in the world. 

I know some people with trouble marriages and admired these people who able to stay strong.

Though I am not married and fear of it, I don't think I would ever be such graceful to forgive the cheating bastard I married to. For me, marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. Why marry if you can't say faithful?

Lobo, the boyfriend, is a faithful person - I think. That is how he is now. But I will never know what the future hold. So, I set some ground rules between us.

One, I allow him to cheat as long as there are no emotional attachment and safe "involvement". 

Two, my family, friend and I will not and never to now about his sexual affair. So if I am ever to know about it, it will be the end of us being US.  

Three, the other person needs to understand of the no emotional attachment so she would not come and bother me. And if she or they come crying and begging for me to leave him, I will gladly do so. 

Four, his affair will be very discreet and never to leave any sign of his secret involvement because he should know how I curious and sensitive I am about my instinct and how I believe my gut which always turn out to be real.

Five, drunk (alcohol) would never be a valid reason to blame of the involvement.

Those are the simple ground rules I had that does not involve marriage I made for him on the first year we got together. Yes, we did talked about marriage and the ground rules which I will only talk about it another time.

Boyfriend was sort of angry and upset when I told him about this ground rules thing. He thought I am setting it for the both of us when in fact the rules are only applied on him. Because I know I have no interest to involve with another man while I am in a serious relationship with him.

When he argued why set a ground rule as if I didn't believe in him to stay faithful. I told him how I believe that he is faithful like I believed the other one before him. It is just a "just in case" rules in our relationship and some part of me want to test him. In return, he sets his ground rule on me, never to get intimate involvement with any men no matter how discreet it is. Typical.... *roll eyes*

As time goes by, he comes to understand why I did and talk about the ground rule. He understand that I am an open person and quite a realist but to my surprise, he never took any chance or abuse the ground rules. I know very well of that because he is a bad liar whenever he tried to lie to me. He is a brilliant liar toward other people but not me. Unless you are able to read his body language and facial expression like I could.

My mother had said how I could ruin my relationship with this ground rules I made. She said that my ground rules would end up him cheating on me. I just said, well perhaps our mind does not work the same then and like my ground rules had stated, if I were to know about it, the relationship will just go crash and burn. And I always have something in my sleeves - oh, did I ever said how cunning I can be?

I know I am not the same with any other girl/woman/ladies out there. But I still believe that I am not the only one who could do like I do. Or perhaps because I believe in boyfriend so much, I could made the ground rules and expect him not ever to refer the ground rules.

So, do you set rules in your relationship/s?

Did you now?

Chewing gum while cutting onion will keep you from crying!

The Controversy of Tyler Shield's Birkin Photos

Have you seen this picture?

Photo © Tyler Shields

The picture depicted a red crocodile leather Hermes (pronounce: air-maze) Birkin handbag that cost around USD100k, being chainsawed, burned and chainsawed again while its burning. It cause such a stir in US and generally fashion fanatics around the world.

Kalau kita di KK, paling2 pun kita cakap: "tu lah kerja orang kaya yang tidak tau mana mau simpan duit. Jadi daripada dia bakar duit, dia bakar barang dia yang mahal." atau "wah! USD100k! Bagus bagi saya tu duit." atau "duit dia, dia punya pasal lah mau buat apa." ataupun juga "itu pun mau gambar ka?"
Macam2 yang orang kita akan cakap kecuali condemning the photographer or the model in the picture. (The girl in one of the pictures is the daughter of Clint Eastwood, if you didn't know)

People had been saying how it's not art, waste of money, how Tyler Shield (photographer) could use the money to feed the poor, disrespect of the fashion, how picture depicted violence, how animals are dying just to make this bag and then some disgust person do something like this to the dead animal blah blah blah.

When I saw how people had condemning Tyler Sheild and his photography he called art, I just don't understand it. No matter how I hard I try to understand, I just can't. It his damn property to burn, so why the fuss? Though I understand that the fuss is probably because he is a public figure so people have some stereotypes that public figure should do more charity rather than wasting their money. I doubt that he will get any attention if he is not a public figure.

When people said those picture are not art, I disagree. Everything in this world is art. Technology is a kind of art. Emotions are some type of art. The weather, mother nature, flora and fauna, natural disaster, greenery,  valley, human, animals etc. Those are art too. Shield's Birkin photos are considered art. Its depends on the person that view it to understand the art behind it.

To me, Shield is trying to show how violence and disaster can both destructive to such beauty in this feral world. How wo/men are feral slaves for the fashion industry. How fashion could kill anything in exchange for luxury. How fashion is worthless if it is destroyed. How luxury can become crap in a whim of destruction. Etcetera.

To the person who talk about animal get killed to make this Birkin bag and Shield had just waste on the life of the dead animal for some stupid art. I want to ask, if the animal is already dead, is it look so wrong to destroy it? Aren't we should praise Shield for his effort to destroy product made out of animal part to condemn the animal slaughtering industry. Just saying.

Shield could donate the USD100k rather than doing so pathetic art. That might be true. But he can also sell the photos and donate he money for charity, right?

Wattpad, the YouTube for BOOKS!!

Much to boyfriend's annoyance, I am addicted to Wattpad. When I read, I'll be in my own little world. I'll ignore everyone and focus on my head on the stories. I turned deaf and oblivious to my surrounding.

Don't "ahh~ typical bookworm" me. ^O^

I love reading books and novels it has been trillion years since I bought my last book. I didn't buy new books because I don't have space to keep them. 

Though I love reading Wattpad, there are only some teenage romance in it. There are some non-teen romance, but they will be some PG-13 or R-rated scene going on. Well, this might not be a huge problem for me but I found it annoyed when the update is rather slow or the book is quite short. 

I have been reading a lot werewolf stories in Wattpad. It is funny that in the 90s and ealy 2000, werewolves were describe as some kind of feral canines that lives alone. One bites will transfer the were-virus to regular humans will turned him/er into a werewolf as well. Infected humans will turned to werewolves on full moon. That is the typical werewolf back then. But this generation of werewolves are Taylor Lautner? The boy is hot, there is no denying it. But since Twilight phenomenon, werewolves become some over-protective-territorial-possesive-lovesick puppies that lives in a pack in a large-mansion-like pack house. I do not opposed the idea but, how can the views of what werewolves suppose to be would change such drastic in such little amount of time just because of Twilight? It's amazing! 

It also affected vampire. I remember movies like the Blade series, Van Helsing, Dracula, Underworld series and many others more. Those eerie/kick-a$$ vampire image turn to Edward Callum. Okay... I know Selene from the Underworld series is also a love sick Bat, but she at least not some sappy vampy and she always face her problem instead of running off with some stupid reason like Edward did. Edward turned in 1918 when he is 17 years old and apparently, his mind works at the same level of his appearance age, just calmer, classic and traditional.

I am not hating on Twilight, I may sound like some hypocritical b*tch, I actually love Meyer's vampires and werewolves concept. She kind of make this two mythical creatures to become at peace for the sake of their love one which is Bella Swan. Though I haven't read the book, I did enjoy the movie. The visual effect, the beautiful scenery and the wonderful cast, except for Kristen Stewart as I still can't understand how she got the part, but still, awkwardly great at it.

Other than werewolf and vampire stories, I have also read some romance and comedy on Wattpad.

I have only read a lot in Wattpad but on read one extremely amazing book on Wattpad so far - Paying for His Mistakes by Dadelik! It is a werewolf story but certainly not a typical rejected-alpha-mate-bullied-by-the-whole-pack-story. The ending was something I never had expected. There are heartbreak, love, regrets and happy times but with twists here and there.

I am still reading but haven't have the same effect I had on "Paying for His Mistakes" and I have only read the English language. There are some Bahasa Melayu writer as well but I am not really interested. Mainly because.... the not exciting and kinda childish title they put for their book? I know I shouldn't have judge the story by its title but I just can't help it. I think everyone would also think like: If the title sounds childish, the content would be childish as well. Aren't they?

I have to make a not of caution on people who are never heard of Wattpad and decides to go there for some light reading, there will be some highly erotic genre. A part from that, for those who are homophobic or not so keen/comfortable with LGTB, look at tags or on the title with BoyXboy/GirlXgirl. Not to forget some BDSM going on in some stories - Since the publication of the last book of the Fifty Shades of Grey series, BDSM genre have increased in Wattpad more than ever. Beware, beware~

USS JOHN C. STENNIS dock in KKcity for the first time!!!

Hello OCTOBER!!!

I have such an amazing feeling today for so many reasons.

ONE:-

September was the month that mark the 5 years boyfriend and I have known each other. Well technically, we known each other from the internet chat-room then become great phone-friends somewhere around July or August. And we finally decides to meet with each other on September, thus the friendships anniversary lah. Yes, we were like best-friends way before we actually got together. Dulu abang angkat, pastu jadi abang sangkut? wakakakaka! 5 years of fun, misery and craziness. When I reminded him about the month last week, I can see a hint of water-work starts to form in his eyes. It's funny that I remember the anniversary of our friendship but not to our actual dating anniversary. Probably because he is the one best-friend I got to date without having no regrets? Not sure but I appreciates him coming into my life without care of what will happen to us in the future.

Two:-

Meeting canceled but postponed to besok. No matter what, asal meeting postpone memang bikin happy juga.

Three:-

I had the best time yesterday! I got the chance to see how a great facial was done! My best cuzzy, Jessica is going to have her wedding reception end of this month so she want to look great on her big day. So another cousin, BB, punya husband, Cass, suggest to go and try his cousin (I think) punya beauty hands. The result was, honestly, pretty amazing. Jessica face is slightly to the oily side, with some dull and bit of pigmentation. Being tired is one of the reason her face was looking dull. But after the facial was done, her face was glowing like she suppose to! I would absolutely go and try a facial from her as well. Tapi nanti-nanti lah. Tunggu bajet saya nanti. wakakakkaka!

Four:-

One of my favorite person in the world is a pregger! Not gonna spell the name here because not many people know about it and I don't want to be the person who ruin the fun for a new mom and tell the world what should be told by her only. Even my mom doesn't know about it yet and I am playing a role of 'not telling anything'. Its kinda fun pula kan? Bet my favorite person is having great laugh of me doing this.

Five:-

Boyfriend got back from deep sea fishing. He said he went to Semarang for a deep sea fishing trip, though they suppose to go to Mantanani saja, he said it was FUN! He got to try his new Shimano 4000 Plays Electric Fishing Reel and according to my man, the device is such an awesome little devil! Worth every cent! The biggest catch he got was a 14 kilos- Spanish Mackerel! In BM, Ikan Tenggiri bah... Since he was in dire need of money, he sold the fish and another Tenggiri (weight about 6-8kilos) and got in total RM3++ for both. I have never knew fish can be that expensive. Saya tau makan saja, jenis dan harga ikan saya masuk perut saja. hehehe~

Six:-

A weird looking ship was on the Likas Bay since I-don't-know-when-because-I-was-not-in-KKcity-since-last-Thursday-evening-but-I-think-it-was-since-yesterday. It was boyfriend who told me about the news yesterday.

him: Babe, got US Navy aircraft carrier docking at Likas Bay lah. 

me: OH! REALLY? 

him: yah. tapi xtau if open for public visits.

me: if open, lets us go see!

him: ya. I want to see it too.

me: Ya, I WANT SEE SEXY ANGMOH!

him: ya, the guys are handsome, the girls are beautiful. got black navy also leh.

me: THEN, I WANT TO SEE THE YUMMY SEXY HANDSOME NAVY GUYS ONLY! INCLUDING THE SEXY BLACK NAVY MEN!!!

him: Kalau like that we just go see them around KK only lah. no need go to the carrier...

me: NO! I WANT TO SEE THEM IN UNIFORMS!!

him: they wore uniform also when I saw them at KK tadi.

me: THEY WERE WALKING AROUND KK?

him: ya lah. where do you expect them to sleep?

me: errr... I thought they have rooms in that carrier?

him: oh ya kan? I forgot bout that. But they are walking around KK juga bah.

me: NO! I WANT TO SEE THEM IN UNIFORMS WHILE THEY ARE ON THE JOB! ON THE SHIP!!

him: okay! okay! lets go see them on the ship if its open for public visits, okay?

me: YAY! I wonder if they have uniforms in your size.

him: LOL!

*note: the capital words are me almost shouting.

The aircraft carrier is the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74), the seventh Nimitz-class nuclear-powered super-carrier in US Navy.

Its sad that it was not open for public visits (as far as I know lah) but for VIPs only. YB. Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, a MP in Kota Belud was one of the privileged  VIPs who able to visit the docking giant, he was also fortunate enough to fly in one of the aircraft and landed on the carrier. He tweeted his experience and made me super-jealous. I WANT TO SEE HOT SAILORMEN AND RIDE ONE OF THOSE AWESOME LOOKING AIRCRAFT TOO!!! 

Keep on dreaming lah J.....

Did you know?

Mudskippers or Ikan Belacak/Tembakul in Malay are amphibian fish with  

a pair of small/tiny hands/legs for it to dig deep burrows.

A 1959 Malay film, Batu Belah Batu Bertangkup, 

was produced about a mother who was sad and thought after the death of her husband, 

her children had no love for her anymore, 

after one of the children ate the mudskipper's eggs 

without leaving some for her when they knew how she was 

really craving of it. She went to a curse cave to be eaten alive for the heartbreak.
