PC Terms - Politically Correct Terms

That guy owns an unsavory character. He is chemically challenged and skeletally prominent. Although he is differently-brained, he has an unpaid sex slave who serves as a domestic engineer. Though she is quite aesthetically challenged, she is abundantly verbal.
In the recent  geological correction, that guy was vehicularly compressed due to the chaos. He is then metabolically challenged. Now,  his unpaid sex slave is monetarily challenged and worse still, she is parasitically oppressed! She has to move out of her current place and is now an outdoor urban dwellers. Just recently, she became a client of the correctional system as she was arrested for being a cost-of-living adjustment specialist.


If you can understand 70% of the passage above, then you are qualified to be in the politics.
Recently, I found that there's this thing called "politically correct terms" - PC Terms. It's emphasized in the more advanced country like the US and the political leaders are expected to use these terms in order not to offend anybody. Sigh, being in the politics is getting tougher nowadays huh? Not only they have to catch up with the technology trends like Facebook and Twitter, they have to selectively choose their words and speak these kind of... special terms. And it is said that words like "retarded" will soon be abolished. Haha.. Perhaps using more PC Terms will make one even more retarded. Lol...

So, what is the passage about? I know it's quite lame, I just simply wrote it. Hope you get the point. =)
In the not-so-retarded terms, it says:

That guy is a criminal. He is a drug addict and is skinny. Although he is stupid, he has a wife who serves as a housewife. Though she is quite ugly, she is talkative.
In the recent  earthquake, that guy met with an accident (road kill) due to the chaos. He is then dead. Now,  his wife is poor and worse still, she is pregnant! She has to move out of her current place and is now homeless. Just recently, she became a prisoner as she was arrested for being a shoplifter.


Lol?

For the list of PC Terms, you can visit here. There are other sites too if you google it up. Have a good laugh. =)

the cup.. the WORLD Cup!

Last Friday the one and only FIFA World Cup was displayed in Mid Valley Kuala Lumpur for a day. So coincidentally I was in KL and so I pre-planned to go and check it out. Since I didn't hear any payment needed, I thought it'll be completely free. Yes, I thought. So I went to Mid Valley with Robert at about 1pm.

Our mission: Go to Mid Valley Convention Center and see the cup for ourselves!

Road Block: Need to get ticket... How? Go and buy a prosperity burger set or buy two 1.5 liter coke and try our luck to win the ticket by spinning a wheel.

So,

Our mission: Go to McD and buy prosperity burger sets to get secured tickets.
Road Block: Sorry, no more ticket...

So,

Our mission: Option 2. Go to the coke booth at east wing and buy two bottles of 1.5 liter of coke and try to win the ticket.
Road Block: No more coke in the booth.

So,

Our mission: Go to Jusco and buy some bottles of coke and come back to the coke booth to spin the wheel.
Road Block: One receipt per spin, meaning I have to get a receipt for every 2 bottles of coke I bought, which I didn't. I only have one receipt.

Our mission: Just get the bloody ticket... ... ... ...

And finally, the booth guy granted me a ticket without spinning.. And Robert managed to buy another 2 bottles and won the ticket for himself.

And off we go!!

There're lots of things to see and do in the exhibition hall like trying the PS3 FIFA games and some other digital games, watching 3D short film (my first time watching a 3D film, quite cool), getting your face drawn with the participating nation's flag, reading the history of the World Cup games and of course, admiring the World Cup! Coke was freely distributed as well.. You can drink as much as you want. Haha.. wei, I'm not that giam ok, I took one can only haha..
And the last one... 
Me and the cup!!! The organiser took free shot of everyone with the cup, and they even printed the picture instantly as I walked out the hall. Canggih! But well, the picture quality is not too nice... I hope there was nothing to do with the camera they used (Sony Alpha haha...).
Sad thing is I didn't get to see the cup closely for long. We were allowed to stand close and take a picture with it for that little while only. I don't think it was more than 5 seconds. But it's simply cool to see the shiny golden cup even from far.

Now I just hope that it was the real authentic cup that we were seeing... oops, haha. =)

I've graduated!!

Finally, IT IS DONE!

Now I'm officially an alumni of Taylor's College. Haha...

Last Sunday was the graduation ceremony for me and my batch of friends at KL Convention Centre. Great to see most of the coursemates and some lecturers there. After this we might have to wait for years to meet again as some would be furthering their studies to UK, which have different semester break period with the Australian unis.

Glad that the ceremony went well, and no sad songs were played if not it might turn out to be an emotional ceremony. Haa... Many pictures were taken thanks to the advancement of digital photography. 2 girls from the hospitality school who sat in front of me in the plenary hall kept on cam whoring. The pictures turned out nice, and they look nice too. Tsk, tsk, I bet they have been practicing this for quite some time.

For more pictures, please visit here. But, but, you have to be my fb friends to view it. Haa...

Congratulations to all my friends (and myself haha)! It is truly great to know all of you! Each one of you have made some impact in my life, and you are part of my learning process. All the best to you guys wherever u go. Oh, and for those who are going to Tasmania as well, see ya in 2 weeks time. =)

Goodbye Taylor's, Goodbye Kuala Lumpur!

ZY's Birthday

I am in PJ now! Haha.. I didn't mention that I'm going to KL in the previous few posts because I was preparing for a surprise for this very dear bro of mine. It's his 21st birthday today (more accurately yesterday)!

Not him.. but HIM!


But well, it failed when he saw me waiting for people in front of the surprise party venue. :(

Well still, it was a great one. It was a great party with a lot of people got dumped into the pool (willing or unwillingly) including the main guy up there, ZY. He was smiling for the whole party and end up the party by jumping into the pool and swim. Salute him.

Happy 21st Birthday ZY! Hope you enjoyed your day and love the shirt!. =)

Buatan Sibu #2


In my previous Buatan Sibu post, my initial intention is to show the interesting name of the shop. (But I found that most of the readers gave their attention to the cheap chicken rice. lol) As in there's no connection between the Mandarin name and the English. It did really catch my attention when I saw "Mr Bean". Haa..

For this post, well, the translation is there, as the original name for the shop is 建财 (build wealth). But it sounds weird after the translation.. yeah.. Chin Chai.. if you get what I mean.

No offense. But it's just interesting sometimes how a store's name can be.

Back Online

After 5 full days of silence on the internet world, I'm back.

The first 2 days are harder than it thought, without an access to the internet. Over the time I have developed a habit of googling stuff that comes to my mind. And because of that it broadens my mind to a lot of things, especially with the help of sites like wikipedia. And so, without my laptop I suddenly feel like I have been amputated. I have to kill away whatever that comes to my mind... It feels like I'm back to days before I have full access to the internet when I have to keep a lot of my questions under the carpet, waiting for them to be answered one day. And I feel like there's a barrier between me and my friends as keeping in touch with them through blogs, msn and facebook is impossible. Oh yeah, and being away from my blog is really a sad thing.

But well, thinking of the good things that happened to me makes the situation okay for me. What have I done for the past few days? I have watched almost 10 movies, finished rearranging all my stamp collection, almost finish a book (not from the start by the way) and thinking about quite a number of stuff. It was a great time. And I feel freer in a way, knowing that internet is not an option to kill my time, as internet can always 'over-kill' my time. Well, it has been a cool period without the internet.

And now, I got my lappy back (oh btw, I sent it for repair but it isn't fixed yet even now for some reasons). I think it'll be wise if I start to control my time in front of the internet and enjoy what I used to do before. =)

Thanks to all of you who still visit here although there's no update. More updates soon alright? =)

Got Scared No Danger (有惊无险)

Was reading the newspaper this morning (or rather yesterday) as usual. Then I came across this in the national section.

(Alarming gasoline bomb: Churches don't simply open gates.)
I was like okay, hopefully nothing happens again. Then I looked at the lower section of the page... WAH!


It's FGA KL! Something happened?! 

Thank God I was wrong. It says that our church (or more accurately, the church that I attended for the last 3 years ^^) employed 10 security guards to patrol around the church in shifts.

I see. Now I got updated with FGA's news through a local Chinese newspaper. That's so cool. And I saw the white beard Indian security uncle in the picture. Now he is really famous. Haa..

Just be careful everyone! Especially for my friends who are in Peninsular now. Stay united. Stay faithful. God bless~!
