I've always been fascinated by tag lines. They make even the most senseless of things into the most sensible of excuses. And this is the hit back to all the irritating questions that I've been facing all my life. (KNN, you think it's very easy to answer questions ah?)To the ones who consistently tell me how lazy I am:
Laziness is the habit of resting before you get tired.
To the ones who talk so much about honesty:
Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough.
To the ones who are worried about how negative I am:
A pessimist is never disappointed.
To the ones who tell me to be optimistic:
Optimist: Someone who doesn't know all the facts yet.
To the ones who complain about how much I diss women:
Never trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.
To the ones who say I ain't good in maths:
There are 3 kinds of people. Those who can count and those who can't.
To the ones who complain about my bad memory:
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
To the ones who are worried about my future:
Don't worry about the future. Sooner or later, it's the past.
To the ones who complain that I don't spend enough time with them:
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
To those who tell me that I can never work alone, independently:
Teamwork is essential. It allows you to blame someone else.
To the ones who complain about my drinking and smoking:
Why eat right, exercise daily, live clean when you gonna die anyway?
To the ones who tell me to aim for the sky:
Aim low. Reach your goals. Avoid disappointment.
To the ones who tell me that I have too big an ego:
One nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.
All said and done. If you didn't understand the above and is scratching your head in confusion:
There are 3 kinds of people in this world. Those who want things to happen. Those that can make things happen. And those who just wonder what the hell happened. Adios.
"Hey I just blogged. A poem from some email. Do read it. You will like it."
When I see emails like this, I usually head over to the blog to take a look at it. I didn't just like the poem. I loved it. And the poem, written by an African kid, goes like this:
When I born, I Black.
When I grow up, I Black.
When I go in Sun, I Black.
When I scared, I Black.
When I sick, I Black.
And when I die, I still black.
And you White fella,
When you born, you Pink.
When you grow up, you White.
When you go in Sun, you Red.
When you cold, you Blue.
When you scared, you Yellow.
When you sick, you Green.
And when you die, you Gray.
And you call me coloured.
It's not everyday that I see a post that makes me say "Ponna jack la mike". But this one really deserves the nod of approval.

Ever browsed through the newspaper in hope of finding yourself a reasonable paying job? It's quite disappointing when you see a column that reads:
*$7 per hour
*Office hours
*Bilingual
*Many vacancies available
*Call 6******* to fix appointment
Now, if you're indian and you decide to pick up the phone to dial the number stated, don't. Being bilingual is the ability to speak more than one language. Here it simply means being able to speak english and chinese.
I was looking through the newspaper hoping I can hit at least one solid appointment. Every single advertisement they placed wanted a chinese speaking person. There was one which I saw that didn't mention any form of bilingualism and I immediately picked up the phone to start dialling the number. This is how the conversation went.
Woman: Hello. Good morning. Cheena Piang Pvt. Ltd. How may I help you?
Me: Hi. Good morning. I'm calling in correspondence to your ad placed in the papers? Would like to know if there are any more vacancies left.
Woman: We have one more slot left. Can you come down for an appointment?
Me: Yea sure.
Woman: Your name and contact number please?
Me: Brabakaran. 6*******.
Women: Ok we will call you back shortly.
All this while, I was telling myself what a polite lady she was. Fluent english and very soft spoken. That impression didn't last long enough though. Few minutes later, I received a call from the same women and this is how it went:
Woman: May I speak to Braaaaaabaaakalan?
Me: You can call me Praba.
Woman: Are you chinese?
Me: *Pissed* Does praba sound like a chinese name?
Women: I'm so sorry sir, but we're looking for someone who can speak in both english and chinese.
Me: What for? I bet you already have enough people in your company who can speak in chinese what.
Woman: This is the criteria stated here. I cannot do anything about it.
Me: *With overwhelming anger* Then next time please state that you don't want anyone other than chinese la. Easier for people like me rite? *hanged up*

Advises. That one thing that you don't ask for but get ample of it. I dunno if I get em' outta care or simply because they wanna run their mouth. But, I just do. Sometimes, the accuracy of their understanding on the kinda person you actually are, can be superbly off the scale. See, I is already a bad influence. Nothing to hide. Been there, done that. I've done all the crazy things you could categorize as 'violence'. Even the 'do not try this even at home', I've done repeatedly. I will not deny anything. I prefer to be honest.It's always the parents who're living in denial. My parents think I'm a gem of a child. I bet your parents do too. If that was really the case, there wouldn't live a guilty man. Ever been in a situation where you know damn sure you were at fault but your parents always make it seem like it wasn't? They always have someone in hand to blame. Mine comes in the form of friends. Whatever mistakes I make, my friends pay the price. This is how my parents think:
1) Whether or not I fight, it was for sure my friend who instigated it.
2) Whether or not I stole something, it was definitely my friend who passed it to me while the unsuspecting me walks with it.
3) Whether or not I drink, the glass was definitely passed to me as a soft drink only to intoxicate the unwary me.
4) Whether or not I lied, it was definitely my friends who had to drag me to the cinema to watch some movie and deteriorate my studies.
I live such a life. And hate is the exact word I am looking for to describe my life. I know my aunt reads my blog. I know she thinks I don't know she does. I do aunty Shanti. I do. The thing is, I drink. I smoke. I club. I fight. And all the bad things you can think of. There's no need to blame my friends. Nothing to do with them at all. I brought this upon myself. I know it's quite disappointing but that's the truth. I rather die like a man than live like a coward. I'd say the truth anywhere. Stop blaming my friends. It's quite sad when everyone in my family tells me how the influence of my friends got the better of me. Fact is, ya'll don't even know my friends enough to make such a statement. So put your fingers where your mouth is.
I believe in this thing called character. Be it you're someone who smokes, drinks, fights, sleeps around, I don't fucking care. Bottom line is, if you're true to me, I'd be true to you. Take my word for it. And on the lighter note, I have been facing alot of counseling these days. Probably only nethia and ah neh might have a clue as to why. Now the thing about advises that my aunties and uncles give me so very often, is that, after all is said and done, usually more is said. When that particular topic that they're addressing you on comes to a halt, they dig up all the past matters. Like how this few I faced were dug up.
Advice 1: Your dad told me that you were working in a bar. How can you work in such places? It's not the right kind of environment to be in. And the people there are not the kind you should be mixing with at such a young age.
I Say: This is what you call stereotyping. Bars labeled as detrimental. My aunt claims that bars were named bars coz it's a form of prison. (E.g. Behind bars) My relatives come up with the strangest of theories.
Advice 2: I heard you got kicked out of school. Is it because you've been mixing around with bad company? Be careful of who you choose to mix with ok? You're a good boy, don't let people affect you.
I Say: After all that bar issues were cleared, I was wondering if I should explain the whole story to her. But when you know they'll probably find a new reason to give an advice, I quickly took the bad company as the alternative. I dunno what in the blue moon convinced her that I'm a good boy but you're heard it now. I is a good boy hor. My aunty say one.
Advice 3: Why are your lips so dark? Don't tell me you are smoking. Bad for health you know.
I Say: When you know it for sure, it's best to keep that 3-4 centimeters of gap in your face zipped and blame it on my age. And of course I know it's bad for health. But being that 90kg elephant that you are who refuses to exercise, it's a bit too much for you to be talking about health don't you think?
Advice 4: You going out at night? Why? Where you going? Don't go to pubs and all ok? It's not safe.
I Say: Gone are the days where only girls were told of such stuff. But considering the fact that there is such a thing as gay night, it sure ain't safe for a guy no more.
Advice 5: Your mum told me that some girl came over to your house. Don't bring girls all home ok? We're indians.
I Ask: What's being indian got to do with bringing a girl home??? Are you crazy or what?
Advice 6: Don't drink too much and get drunk ok? People out there waiting for opportunities to spoil someone these days.
I Ask: Do I look like your husband who blabbers his bed stories after dragging a can of Jolly Shandy?
Enough said. I is gonna remain on the low for a while. Adios.

Darling eshvanya called me a few days ago. Tearing on how badly she wanted her sales to flourish. I could feel her pain. Even I started tearing. Only lord knows the amount of zebra stripes on her wrists. Only difference is, it ain't black and white but instead caught up between her skin tone and blood red. Blood in every sense of the word.I thought that the only way I could be of some help is by at least promoting her new blog. The new blog where she puts up all her dazzling earrings. Some look real pretty. Heck, even I'd buy a couple myself.
Esh has been down since the day the jurong sarakkus tried adding her. She calls me every night and tells me how much she thinks it's so unfair when all they do is try adding her but offer no support for her sales. I know esh, I know. I feel your pain.
So just to offer a helping hand, regardless of whether you purchase one for yourself, do your part by spreading her blog. By word. By mail. By email. By fax. Through a pigeon. Whatever. And to see eshvanya's new blog, click on the button URL below. Sorry for the extravagant build up. I love to do things like that. It gives you this tinkling feeling in your balls. Try it.
And as I was chatting with esh, I decided to try my luck. This is how the conversation went:
Esh: I just want business baby.
Me: I will make business.
Esh: Haha.
Esh: Set.
Me: Is I allocated profits as well?
Esh: Erm..
Me: Ok ok I geddit.
Darn, talk about cheap labour. She pays no money for marketing expertise.

After so much of slacking at home, I is finally working and earning some dough. Much thanks to Ah neh and Nethia. Whether or not this blog will be updated on a regular basis, is anybody's guess. Sundays are my off days and I'll try put up something. Meanwhile, if you want a blog worth reading, which I myself log in in the tens and twenties per day, you're most likely bound to be enticed by Keling Killahs and of course, without a shadow of a doubt, Symposium of Genius. This are two blogs that I'll check out even before I log in mine. Trust me, after reading, be prepared to get magnetized.Adios.

Perhaps, I was blind to the facts.
Stabbed in the back.
I couldn't trust my own armies,
Just a bunch of dirty rats.
Will I,
Succeed?
Paranoid from my unworthy deed.
Stabbed in the back.
I couldn't trust my own armies,
Just a bunch of dirty rats.
Will I,
Succeed?
Paranoid from my unworthy deed.
Though hocus pocus, I tried to focus but I don't see.
And in my mind, I'm a blind man wastin' time.
Looking to my future.
Cause my past,
Is all behind.
Is it a crime to fight for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin. When am I next in line?
I've been trapped since birth. Cautious. Cause I'm cursed.
And fantasies of my family,
Is blessed.
But getting worse.
And they say it's the yellow man I should fear.
But it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here.
I can't lie.
There ain't no love for the other side.
Jealousy inside, makes me wish I died.
Oh my god, tell me what I'm livin for.
Everybody's droppin.
I'm knockin on heaven's door.

Fuck what you heard. It's what you're hearing.
Coming to the post, I've gotta admit that it takes solid amount of patience to actually be reading someone's blog. I swear I am not the type of guy who sits down in one place to read up on someone else's bullshit. Especially if they're only gonna be talking about how golden their balls are. But today, it was different. Praba actually sat down to actually read someone else's bullshit. And I'd say that all that patience paid dividends. I will not provide you the URL of that particular blog. (Coz I know the indians that you are) So instead, I will copy it down just so that you have a good read. And the solid story, with some editing I did, goes like this:
[One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear. "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said "Lets get a pair for each outfit." We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you, she was so excited. She must have thought she was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled "WHAT?" I then said "Honey, I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy for you?" Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either. But at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.]
Ahh. I is loving it. I is really loving it. Now cheers to all men who were dumbfounded when the ladies said such stuff to us. Adios.
Now, it's not for long that a hunter remains as the hunter. There has to come a time where the hunter becomes the hunted. And to find out exactly how I became the hunted, click here.
