Crisis of the REDS

I shall not say much but as we all know the main crisis in the English Premier League is the Reds being at the bottom 3 of the table, the team that never walks alone is gonna be walking alone to the bottom division if they do not buck their butts up and bring it up above the danger zone.

Hence what I'm about to share to you are some jokes which I came across on a friends profile status. It kinda creative and funny! So enjoy!

Joke No. 1
Met a fairy today who granted me one wish. 
"I want to live forever," I said.

"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that."
"Fine," I said, "I want to die when liverpool win the premier league."
"You crafty cunt!" said the fairy.

Joke No.2

I bumped into a man crying uncontrollably outside a department store in Liverpool yesterday, and all he could go on about was how he hates this time of year, dressing up in a ridiculous red outfit and embarrassing himself in front of thousands of people.
I said, "Look, Mr.Gerrard, you chose to play for Liverpool."

A Choice Well Made

I was going through my previous post and I came upon a blog post that i put up months ago. The title of the post is The Haunting. The post was about my feeling on leaving KDU and going back to Han Chiang to continue my degree.

I do not know why, but I can always sense a feeling when ever I make a wrong decision in life. Having return back to Han Chiang to do my degree in Han Chiang once again, I have to say that i really do not regret sacrificing the 7K that was burned in KDU. Nevertheless 7K is a huge lump sum of money, but having being in an environment that pumps up my feelings to study is more important.

I am so much happier back here. Hence I really do hope of one thing that I would not end up with such situations ever again, because this feelings of making the wrong decisions and not wanting to be there is just bad. My first dilemma was when I had to choose my major during my diploma, as a had a liking for broadcasting and also Public Relations. So at first I chose broadcasting, and believe me one week into the classes I could not sleep every night no matter how tired I was my mind was running like mad and it just kept me awake thinking if I did made a right choice. So the following week I went into one of the PR classes and I just love the class so much that I instantly took the switch major form and got the transition settle before it was too late and everything was smooth sailing, well I didn't had to sacrifice a single cent for the choice.

As for this I had to sacrifice a full 7K, well life is just like this, any how I am glad that my parents agree in letting me switch and not to hold me back in KDU to suffer there. I am happy that from the start my parents gave me the freedom to make my choices to learn what I want to learn and not what they want me to learn. To me, it is the best present that my parents could have given me.

Well, I still do miss some new found friend in KDU for the short period of time, nevertheless friend we are always able to keep in touch no matter where we are.

Help the Brother!

Beauty of the Dragon

Second semester has kicked in for me and feature writing is one of the subjects that I will have to take, well I do love writing, but I have a slight problem which is I need the mood to write a good write up. If I don't have the mood and were force to write a feature, well to me i won't be able to write at my very best and tend to have writers block along the way.

So for my first feature, I was require to cook up a 500 words profile piece, which basically needed me to choose someone and to interview the particular individual based on what is interesting about the person. Merely about a skill, hobby, or something outstanding that would make readers want to read for entertainment, leisure, or to input something new.

So previously, I was working for the International Dragon Boat race as a liaison officer to foreign teams that came over for the race, and I was in charge to the coolest team ever! It was the Dubai Flying Dragons that came from UAE! Coolest as in they had the most wonderful, friendly, down to earth individuals that made up such an awesome team!! The team was a mixture of men and women, and the team manager was a young lady which I believe non of you should mess with her, as pleasant and beautiful she may be, she is also a Muay Thai fighter as well, so mess with her and get your head smashed!! HAHAHA!!

Which came to my mind, that I would write my feature on her. Well she might be a typical sport lover, but sports that she takes up make men think twice before venturing into it, So here is my article on her!

Beauty of the Dragon

In the 21st century, women are participating themselves in all types of sports and activities. Some of them do excel in the sport better then other men do. Sports like tennis, golf and many more, where it take up a physical challenge. 

This women on the other hand has taken up sports that some men even think twice before venturing into it, Miss Sarah Christine Edgar, who was born in Walney Island, a small island off the Northwest coast of Cumbia, has taken up Dragon boating to a close 4 years now with the Dubai Flying Dragons. 

“I had never heard of dragon boating until one of my work colleagues told me about it, I turned up at 6am one winter morning in Dubai and from that moment on I was hooked!” that was all it took for Sarah to love the sport and to be the team manager for Dubai Flying Dragons.

Besides her dragon boating life she holds a full time job as an umpire and referee Coordinator for the International Cricket Council based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sarah has always been a sports lover. Needless, a competitive person as well. 

Before Sarah took up dragon boating, she was Muay Thai fighter who spent 3 years of her time competing and training in Thailand itself. “ Muay Thai was my main sport and I trained martial arts from the age of 11” Sarah took up dragon boating because she realise that she has never part take in a team sport and would love to give it a try as she was looking for a sport to give out the same physical and mental rush as Muay Thai. “I needed something to fill the competitive void and Dragon Boating was the perfect fit” “I have generally been involved with individual sports, the thought of taking up a team sport was something completely different for me” added Sarah.

Her team has made quite an achievement not only in Dubai, but internationally as well. Locally they have won Dubai International Dragon Boat Festival titles and Abu Dhabi Dragon Boat Festival 500 m race. International achievement are Penang International Dragon Boat Festival 1st place for the 2 km race, Hungary Dragon Festival 1st place 500 m women and 2nd place 500m mixed race.

“I am overwhelmed with the adrenaline rush of racing but the whole team experience is unlike anything else and gives you the chance to share your experiences with others.” 


“The great thing about this sport though is the team bonding and experiences you have and nothing beats racing and learning from mistakes and putting together a great race where every single person in the crew is committed and putting in a titanic effort.”

 
ENDS

Well Sarah, I hope I did make it sound good!! Cheers!

See You and the rest of the team next year!!!

Experience of A Life Time

Alright this post is kinda old, but what the hell. It was end of last month, where a bunch of KDU students organize a major youth event in Penang Times Square in conjunction to Malaysia National Day countdown on the 30th of August.

Well for some reason me and Nick were invited to have a slot performance for the night. So being still new as a music duo which is on a path of forming a band, we instantly agreed to take up the slot for the event. So a drummer and a guitarist joined us so we sort of form a temporary band as it was nicer to go on stage as a band rather than a duo.

Alright everything was practically going smoothly, until the very day of the event itself, which I felt the organizers were very unethical. We didn't know who were we going to share the stage with rather than the main band. So as informed we need to be there an hour early for the sound check which we did, to only find out that the priority was given to the band who are competing for the talent  section, but what got me totally pissed was, after the sound check they gave it to the other band who was performing who came so much later compared to us.

Beside that, I do not know whether these people know the meaning of sound check or not, there mathafuckers were playing the whole goddam song on stage, and when it was our turn to sound check we didn't even get a full minute to check as the previous band took up the whole time playing the song to a empty crowd. Well we taught fine, let it be.

Next thing that pissed us of was, the performance itself, the band who took our sound check time went on stage first, they took their time in enjoying the crowd with their nonsense for 3 full songs as usual, but when we were on stage, once we completed our first song we were told that we didn't much time and the next song would be our last. Our time were cut short. Once again the MathaFucker band took our stage time as well.

Alright it may sound stupid to make a big fuss about it and all, but to find out that the organizers were KDU students and the band who took all our time for their own glory was also KDU student. Isn't it a bit weird, what was worst that, we were the only band who was not from KDU, all the other performance was from KDU. I have one word for this is BIAS!!! No doubt the stage experience for the two songs was a life time experience, but is kinda pissed off with the organizers as they gave priority to other performers just because you guys come from the fucking same money sucking college? and us not being from KDU, need to sacrifice our stage time because of the other inconsiderate mathafuckers delayed your program time? it is just unfair to us who practice with our own money for studios and to be cut short just like this.

Well for me I would say that I did had a great experience being on stage but also an experience not to get involve when there is a bunch of mathafucking KDU students who are involve as these bias assholes would just do anything to let their buddies to enjoy on stage as much as they want by using other performers stage time!!! I got two words for you man! FUCK YOU!!!!

Stepping Up to the Beat of Life!!

Here comes another movie review by Big.Bear! HAHA! Sounds like I am some huge and recognize movie reviewer or critic. Alright enough of the crap, back to the business. Last friday, I went for a movie and it was "Step Up 3". My overall for the movie is 2 thumbs up!! 

Well it is kind of weird that I would love it, even I am not a dancer myself, and the movie has a very basic storyline pattern where a crew who has a rival crew, which they compete in a big dance off, where the crew needs the prize money for something and has traitors who left the crew, and when all hope seems to be lost they come back with a huge blow of awesomeness and take the prize and everybody live happily ever after. So not so special as it would be, but why I liked it is because of how was the movie shot, in terms of its angles, and editing where it made us as audience in the cinema feel like we were actually in the battle ground watching the crews battling it off to victory.

I was a follower of Step Up since the 1st till the 2nd and I told myself I would not miss the 3rd. It was a money worth actually, but kind of regret that i did not watch it earlier when they actually had the 3D on.

The movie did not only promoted dance and solely on dance battles hence had strong value of brotherhood and friendship. Where together as one, nothing is impossible to be achieve.

In life we will never survive if we choose to walk a path alone. No matter how we need friends and family to be there for us as we walk through the path of live. We need each other to balance up when we are crossing a narrow wooden beam of a shaky bridge that comes along out journey in life. 

Step Up was good that in every scene of friendship there is a touch of reality, where as friends we will tend to neglect some of our friend for goals in life, but true friend do not leave you, but is always there for you no matter what the situation that we are facing, for these people are your friend to be kept, remembered and cherish. 

So I would say Step Up 3 is a must watch movie and should not be missed!!! catch it in your local cinemas, DVD or what ever medium that you can get your hands on to watch the movie.

The Guantanamo Curse

Alright, recently a few weeks back me and my family were celebrating my grandparent's 50th year Wedding Anniversary!! (WOW!! I wonder will I be able to celebrate my 50th in future) Alright back to the story, so while walking around with my huge and bulky camera snapping pictures, my coolest uncle walk in the restaurant, and what I meant by cool as in he's super cool.

He is one of the rarest uncles that collects toy/action figures that is displayed all over his room, I'm assuming that he has at least 500 toys of all genre of games, music, cartoon and fiction characters. His room is every teenager would dream to have with dim yellow light and poster all around even to the ceiling. This uncle of mine is also a member of a band and not just any normal band but a metal band.(band name Oracle) he doesn't wear cloths like adults should were but a attire of baggy shirt and pant and cap.

Alright enough intro of my uncle, hahaha, so he walked in and I saw he was wearing a prison shirt, which is the Alcatraz Prison. This prison is actually meant for psycho people. I instantly fell in love with the shirt and he said he was going Bangkok the following weekend and would get one for me.

Yesterday, he told me the good new and I went to collect my shirt. It was not the Alcatraz, but an even better prison!! the most badass hardcore prison in the United States! It the Guantanamo Bay Prison, where suspected terrorist and hardcore serial killers are kept. He was so good make the shirt as a gift for me as I was bout to pay him back.

I was so excited with the shirt that I wore in today to Gurney Plaza, I some how knew that our locals here don't really know about Guantanamo Bay, but knowing the foreigners do was a blast, each time i walk pass a foreigner their eyes would go wide open in shock instantly stick to me, HAHAHAHA! I think in their mind that I manage to escape or what! well that wasn't the best part of the shirt.

It came in when we started walking into outlets, the 1st shop I went was Switch, as soon I step foot into the shop, the alarm started screaming like mad. I was shock myself too as I just step foot in, so I taught the alarm was crazy or something. Hence the next shop started to make this shirt like sorta curse, As I walked into Nike, just passing the sensors there goes once again! the Alarm going off with just me passing it, until my buddies was like "Ben your seriously a prisoner"!! HAHAHA!!

It did again with another outlet which I've forgotten its name, due to much excitement of the day laughing about me being a prison. Well, what was weird that, if the alarm were to be faulty, it should have been sounding continuously before I reach, or the shop keeper would have turn it off until it was fixed right? and furthermore, when I was inside the shop and the alarm stopped it didn't set of at all when other customers enter the shop, even when the alarm when of the shop keeper was also shock and started looking at me but it was clear I was innocent and just walking into the shop and not running out. All in all, the shirt has did made memory to me and I love this shirt man!!!
