I know I've been quite the hermit this month, and my most humble apologies goes out to all my friends who wondered what on earth happened to me when I didn't answer calls, return calls, texts and others. I could go into the details but lets just say it wasn't the best month of the year for me and "this and that" happened. Wanted that little bit of seclusion and solitude to deal with the issues at hand and I'm glad to say I'm alright now. At times like this I'm really convinced I could be the last person alive on earth and I'd be happy x.x

Nasty break-up letter. Dedicated to all the sluts out there. You know who you are.
Brad,
It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I would ever want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all or anything that happened, so I won’t even try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing. I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us, what I can’t handle is thinking that you see me as a different person.
It is weird, I feel like I just went through a horrible break up or something. The world looked funny yesterday, I couldn’t crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I can’t listen to, and I just feel beyond crushed. I don’t know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn’t. I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I can’t imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and weird to say that, and you could say that my behavior didn’t reflect that, and you would be correct. I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person, because I am not. I know there is nothing I can say or do to take back what happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in the world to rewind and fix it.
I am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you won’t. If not today, then maybe some other time. Also, thanks for getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses are still at your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that would be great. I can’t even focus or work today, I can’t eat, I seriously feel like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it was not that and you are not done with me. Please don’t cut me off, I really don’t think I can handle that.
I am so sorry.
Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you for your concern. I’ll be sure to file it away under “L” for “Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn’t care less about”.
You did a stupid thing huh? No…doing long division and forgetting to carry the one is “a stupid thing”; Mixing in a red sock with a load of whites is “a stupid thing”; Blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45minutes while I sit at the bar wondering if you’re taking so long because you ate too much bran that morning isn’t as much a “Stupid thing” as it is grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar.
To be honest, I’m not sure if it was more amusing that you went and degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2 hour span, or that you seemed to think that by saying “Well, I didn’t F**k him” somehow gave you a clean slate. So forgive me if I couldn’t care less if the world “looked funny” to you yesterday. Since your world revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly Beans, I’m sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have to consider someone else’s feelings for 24 hours straight. The good news for you is that my friends don’t think you’re a terrible person, they just think you’re the average run of the mill blond who commands about as much respect as your average child porn collector. I could be wrong but, it’s pretty hard to respect some B&T chick who comes out to spend the night at my place even though she’s seeing someone else in New jersey and winds up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning commentary on Colin Farrell’s new haircut is worth putting up with for a hand job in the men’s room. The good thing about being a guy is that when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top of a towel dispenser last Saturday, we’ll have a shot and laugh our heads off about the time it happened.
By the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs you do. Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.
Talk to you never,
Brad

These days are fast, love don't last, in this graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
These Days
Bon Jovi
Richie Sambora & Jon Bon Jovi
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody's got their cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try"
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fa-fa-fade away
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, love don't last-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't last-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Wikipedia sez...
Artificial Stupidity is commonly used as a humorous opposite of the term artificial intelligence (AI), often as a derogatory reference to the inability of an AI program to adequately perform basic tasks. However, within the field of computer science, artificial stupidity is also used to refer to a technique of "dumbing down" computer programs in order to deliberately introduce errors in their responses.
Alan Turing, in his 1952 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, proposed a test for intelligence which has since become known as the Turing test. While there a number of different versions, the original test, described by Turing as being based on the "Imitation Game", involved a "machine intelligence" (a computer running an AI program), a female participant, and an interrogator. Both the AI and the female participant were to claim that they were female, and the interrogator's task was to work out which was the female participant and which was not by examining the participant's responses to typed questions. While it isn't necessarily clear whether or not Turing intended that the interrogator was to know that one of the participants was a computer, while discussing some of the possible objections to his argument Turing raised the concern that "machines cannot make mistakes".
"It is claimed that the interrogator could distinguish the machine from the man simply by setting them a number of problems in arithmetic. The machine would be unmasked because of its deadly accuracy."
—Turing, 1950, page 448
As Turing then noted, the reply to this is a simple one: the machine should not attempt to "give the right answers to the arithmetic errors". Instead, deliberate errors should be introduced to the computer's responses.
Within computer science, there are at least two major applications for artificial stupidity: the generation of deliberate errors in chatbots attempting to pass the Turing test or to otherwise fool a participant into believing that they are human; and the deliberate limition of computer AIs in video games in order to control the game's difficulty.
The first Loebner prize competition was run in 1993. As reported in The Economist, the winning entry incorporated deliberate errors - described by The Economist as "artificial stupidity" - to fool the judges into believing that it was human. This technique has remained a part of the subsequent Loebner prize competitions, and reflects the issue first raised by Turing.
Lars Lidén argues that good game design involves finding a balance between the computer's "intelligence" and the player's ability to win. By finely tuning the level of "artificial stupidity", it is possible to create computer controlled plays that allow the player to win, but do so "without looking unintelligent".
According to its definition, a sufficiently developed Artificial Stupidity program would be able to make all the worst cases regarding a given situation. This would enable computer programmers and analysts to find flaws immediately while minimizing errors that are within the code.
However, it is mostly expected to be used within the development and debugging stages of computer software.

[Chorus]
I don't know why I love you
But baby you know I do
And it took so long to find you girl

Who says and does things perfectly
A flawless someone warm and sweet
Then I realize you're right next to me
And I think that this could last forever - yeah

Maybe its time to Dream Again?
Some of you may know I'm a huge J-Culture kinda guy, and I've been hooked on J-Doramas (drama) for many years now. The most recent one I had the time to watch is titled "Dream Again", starring none other than my favourite actor, Takashi Sorimachi (of Great Teacher Onizuka fame).
Takashi Sorimachi takes on the role of a pro baseball player, Shunsuke Ogi, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hopes of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. God decides to give him a second chance, placing his soul into the body of another man - a wealthy fund company manager - but adjusting to his new life isn't easy.
This series is classed more as a sports/human drama - it has subtle blends of family, sports, romance and human drama mixed in. The opening episode is really well set up for viewers - the plot is something new and fresh as are the cast.

Jimmy Eat World - Carry You
Just wanting to share a particular song off Jimmy Eat World's Chase This Light (2007) album, a track titled "Carry You". For the last 3 weeks or so, I've felt that I could relate to the lyrics a lot due a chain of events. But things have somehow, somewhat, changed for the better today, and I'm hoping for the best. Still, I'd like to share the song. Enjoy.
Carry You
Jimmy Eat World
2007
When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you
Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend,
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again
It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
Maybe your lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you
You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours because
Your only good is what you're good for
I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say it's me
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed.
I'm still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?
Would I see you tonight
At a place we'll go
(going through the motions, they lead to rhythm motion)
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out.
(it was like you said, the taste don't taste like it should)
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again, again
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Yeah, here's to living in the moment

"I think therefore I am"
My humble apologies to you, Mr. Blog, for the recent abandoning. I know I've not been keeping my promise in updating you and all, but hey, life has been rather, "Eventful", for lack of a better word to describe it.
To get the ball rolling, my 5-month relationship is over. I sincerely hoped for it to last much longer than just a mere 5 months, but hey, God has a weird sense of humor. I won't go into any details as I'm a firm believer in not making your private life especially relationship matters public on a blog. I was never an attention-whore and never will be.
Some things I've learned from this failed relationship, in no particular order, are;
1. Do not try to talk logic or common sense with a girl. Reasoning with them is a total taboo and chances are you're making them even more angry than from before you started your reasoning. Remember, there is nothing 'common' about sense when its between a man and a woman!
2. Even if you're right, say you're wrong, admit to it, and pray she accepts and leaves the matter alone. Girls do not like being told that they were wrong (or there was a better way to handle/deal with something other than the method they chose). Save yourselves the trouble and headache, its not worth it trying to prove you're right, you've got a hell lot more to lose than anything else.
3. When an arguement breaks out and she's pissed at you, even though she refuses you when you try to console and how should I say this, "pujuk" her, do it anyway. Do not, ever, conclude that just because she pushes you away when she's angry means that you should stay away and keep your distance. You MUST attempt to console and coax her no matter what. Let her push you away once, twice, 10 times, 100 times even, don't give up. Despite her behaviour and character at that point, deep down inside her heart is screaming out for you to be close to her. Not taking heed of this advice could land your ass in boiling waters, take it from someone experienced.
4. Each and every time you argue or quarrel with her, the fact is which many may not know, the feelings and love they have tend to decrease little by little, and its rather subtle. Even they themselves may not notice this anomaly at first, but eventually they'll feel that the feelings or love just aren't there anymore, or fading away. This is completely different for a guy as arguements and quarrels does not necessarily make our feelings dwindle and fade away. You could have a volcanic quarrel and at the end of the day, still love your girl as much as from before your quarrel. Be warned, though this may not apply to ALL girls, it does to a majority, so play your cards right.
5. When a girl is not ready for a committed relationship especially one that is to last long term, their determination and faith in the relationship is weak, and chances are at first signs of problems, they are the first to "jump ship" or abandon the relationship. There are ups and downs to any relationship, and its her character, her attitude, determination and faith during the bad times that show how far she wants the relationship to go, same goes for the guy. Remember, the good times are fun, but you have to be able to handle the bad times as well.
In no way am I trying to be biassed towards females in any way here. This is a calm, composed and informed opinion and observation of mine. With hope, anybody who happens to wander into this blog of mine would get some insight into how to handle a relationship better, or rather, avoid confrontations that could blow up in their face!
As I try my very best to put on a strong face and move on with my chin up, nevertheless the memories were important and precious to me. Maybe deep down somewhere 'something' lives within me but I guess its gonna stay there for the time being, indefinitely. I will just have to accept that maybe the time wasn't right to rekindle things, and the flame burned so bright, it burned itself out too soon. Heaven knows.
Women have both complicated minds (or confused could be the word, as many men would testify) AS WELL AS complicated hearts. What a 2 in 1 double trouble for men. Trying to understand tends to put white hair on your heads far before its meant to be there :) Good luck.
Just a little something for comedy;
To get the ball rolling, my 5-month relationship is over. I sincerely hoped for it to last much longer than just a mere 5 months, but hey, God has a weird sense of humor. I won't go into any details as I'm a firm believer in not making your private life especially relationship matters public on a blog. I was never an attention-whore and never will be.
Some things I've learned from this failed relationship, in no particular order, are;
1. Do not try to talk logic or common sense with a girl. Reasoning with them is a total taboo and chances are you're making them even more angry than from before you started your reasoning. Remember, there is nothing 'common' about sense when its between a man and a woman!
2. Even if you're right, say you're wrong, admit to it, and pray she accepts and leaves the matter alone. Girls do not like being told that they were wrong (or there was a better way to handle/deal with something other than the method they chose). Save yourselves the trouble and headache, its not worth it trying to prove you're right, you've got a hell lot more to lose than anything else.
3. When an arguement breaks out and she's pissed at you, even though she refuses you when you try to console and how should I say this, "pujuk" her, do it anyway. Do not, ever, conclude that just because she pushes you away when she's angry means that you should stay away and keep your distance. You MUST attempt to console and coax her no matter what. Let her push you away once, twice, 10 times, 100 times even, don't give up. Despite her behaviour and character at that point, deep down inside her heart is screaming out for you to be close to her. Not taking heed of this advice could land your ass in boiling waters, take it from someone experienced.
4. Each and every time you argue or quarrel with her, the fact is which many may not know, the feelings and love they have tend to decrease little by little, and its rather subtle. Even they themselves may not notice this anomaly at first, but eventually they'll feel that the feelings or love just aren't there anymore, or fading away. This is completely different for a guy as arguements and quarrels does not necessarily make our feelings dwindle and fade away. You could have a volcanic quarrel and at the end of the day, still love your girl as much as from before your quarrel. Be warned, though this may not apply to ALL girls, it does to a majority, so play your cards right.
5. When a girl is not ready for a committed relationship especially one that is to last long term, their determination and faith in the relationship is weak, and chances are at first signs of problems, they are the first to "jump ship" or abandon the relationship. There are ups and downs to any relationship, and its her character, her attitude, determination and faith during the bad times that show how far she wants the relationship to go, same goes for the guy. Remember, the good times are fun, but you have to be able to handle the bad times as well.
In no way am I trying to be biassed towards females in any way here. This is a calm, composed and informed opinion and observation of mine. With hope, anybody who happens to wander into this blog of mine would get some insight into how to handle a relationship better, or rather, avoid confrontations that could blow up in their face!
As I try my very best to put on a strong face and move on with my chin up, nevertheless the memories were important and precious to me. Maybe deep down somewhere 'something' lives within me but I guess its gonna stay there for the time being, indefinitely. I will just have to accept that maybe the time wasn't right to rekindle things, and the flame burned so bright, it burned itself out too soon. Heaven knows.

Goodbye annual bonus 2008!
Quoted from http://www.bentleymotors.com ;
A coupé worthy of the GT name. Inspired by the grace and power of Bentley’s thoroughbred bloodline, the Continental GT and new Continental GT Speed combines phenomenal power, class-leading performance and contemporary design with handcraftsmanship in true Crewe tradition.
The Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley ever and the first to top 200mph (322km/h). A potent addition to the Continental Series, the GT Speed extends the appeal of the Continental GT coupé to driving enthusiasts who place a high value on outright performance and agile handling. Even more breathtaking. In even less time.
Power that doesn’t compromise space. Handling that doesn’t compromise comfort. Technology that doesn’t compromise handcraftsmanship. Above all, true Grand Touring performance complemented by the luxury of Bentley legend.

You almost thought I've abandoned you again, eh dear blog?
I always knew it would happen. Getting caught up with daily routines all over again and forgetting the resolution I had to be faithful in my blogging. Sure, I tried. Just that every time I bickered on adding a new post, my 2007 addiction of World of Warcraft took over and yes, I am guilty of allowing myself to be swallowed alive by that EVIL, EVIL, EVIL game. Thanks Blizzard. You had my soul.
On the bright side, my remaining 3 month subscription plan ends March 6th. Have not touched that devious evil game since early December, and I have no plans to renew the subscription. I seemed to have rediscovered my social life the very month I quit WoW.
Speaking of social life, I've found that sometimes things are not as they seem. People are not what they make themselves to appear, as I have painfully come to terms with this fact. People I've called 'friend' in the past seemed to have had their dirty closets opened behind their backs and yes, the scene is not a pretty one. You know who you are out there. Thanks for being the hypocrites you are and serving me a life-long lesson on the subject of trust. I promise you your 'lessons' will not go to waste, I will only gain strength from this and move on.
Phew. Oh goodie. I just vented out at people on my blog. I popped that virgin aspect of blogging. What now? Where is the bloody champagne gawdamnit! To be honest that is something I've never wanted to do, looking at all the lame ass people venting like a bloody bitch on their blogs. Fine I have joined the ranks of the bloody bitches. Satan, yes you can have my soul. That will be RM 500,000,000.00, cash terms only (I know he's bad with IOUs).
Nick, thanks for seeing that our years of friendship were and still is precious. Good thing you kicked your WoW addiction before I did. Nice to be hanging out again, we really DO go back a long way ol' buddy. Theng Yi, coursemate in arms and fellow anime otaku and gaming kaki, we've seen quite the number of years as well and hoping we stay buds till our grandchildren start reproducing, how is that? Wee Chun, you've always been a good friend. I appreciate you for the excellent chap that you are and heres' to many more years of good friendship. Alvin, you are probably the best bud I have here in KL. Not bad for a few years of knowing each other. Xmas bbq again this year, okay?! Jason, colleague and senior at work. Never expected that we'd click and get along so well. Heres' to a good buddy, cheers! Melvin, collegemate, and probably one of the first few KL locals I made friends with back in 2002 when I just landed my arse in Subang Jaya. You're good company, and reliable as always. Mei Ching, Florence, thanks for being the sweet girls you are and putting so much effort to make plans for old friends to meet up and get along well again. Love you girls to bits! And yes, I promise I will set aside more time for your plans. I know I've always been busy and not making it for your wonderful outings.
*Wipes sweat off forehead*
Phew.. One hell of a post. Here's to a good 2008 and wishing everyone the best in the year of the TIKUS =)
