Trying to follow the World Cup 2006 event from inside UTM is hard what with the 12am curfew and all. Lucky for us, Kim has a TV Card. Unfortunately for us, Kim, the game nut, doesn’t like football.

(11.45pm)
Ahmeng: World Cup, World Cup! Going to start already oh Kim!
Kim: Wait, let me complete my Diablo mission first.
Ahmeng: (Rips off Kim’s cd-rom and throws it off the window) WORLD CUP!!
Kim: (Rips off Ahmeng’s eyeballs from its sockets) MY GAME!!

Me, I’m not really that crazy over the whole football thingy either. I love to play football, no doubt about that, even more so when I came here to UTM. But when it comes to watching 22 millionaires running up and down a field chasing after a measly ball, well that’s an entirely different story.

(During the Germany/Costa Rica game)
Ben: I am sooooo bored. How long has it been?
Ahmeng: 60 minutes.
Kim: Aiyo, I could’ve completed 2 quests already!
Ahmeng: You typical asian gamer nerd.
Ben: I could’ve written 2 long posts on my blog already!
Ahmeng: You typical asian blogger geek.
Ben & Kim: …

People who don’t enjoy watching the World Cup are so uncool.

Amusing pics about treatments for sexual disorders in Kelantan/Pahang:

Worth a look!

Apparently 2 guys from Bristol got a satellite picture of themselves taken and it can be seen through Google Earth!

Wow, the pic’s abit blur but it’s still pretty cool…lol…but then again, there’s no way to verify if it’s really 2 guys or probably 2 blobs =P

Maybe a group of bloggers should just stand still in the sun and make a Hello World! sign and see if it appears…lol

funny recorded conversation between working colleagues (Gee is the garang girl):

Darren: Bas sekolah very dangerous. All the kids always fight.

Gee: You know ah, last time I was the only secondary student in my bas sekolah. All the rest were primary school kids. When they fight ah…

Me: You punch them ah?

Gee: YES! I beat them up!

Funny posts about being politically correct and christmas trees:

Apparently some people thought it’s offensive and inappropriate to say “Merry Christmas” in public. See, the USA is a multicultural society so there’s a lot of Americans who do not celebrate Christmas by default. Initially, their government bodies and major shopping complexes decided to start using the more politically-correct and all-encompassing “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings”, which I thought was fine.

UPDATE: This needs a repost! If you bother to read through the 231 comments - This seemingly innocent article has becomed a place to discuss politics, religion and even XiaXue! Some excerpts from Kenny Sia’s comment box:

The right wing conservative party may not know the religious climate here in Malaysia but as a Malaysian yourself, u should at least be aware of matters that means most to Muslims here. The name of “Allah” and our “Prophet”, Al Quran, praying, fasting month, the Haj, wearing the veil and a few others are sensitive issues to Muslims.

If u really think that this situation is blown out of proportion, and regards Muslims in Malaysia as fanatics in a broken democracy country, then I suggest that you denounce your citizenship here and move. The only reason that Malaysia is a “peaceful” multiracial country is because statements such as in your blog are kept from surfacing.

…serious

We at the Jabatan Anti-Kristian Malaysia (JAKM) are suing Kenny Sia and the website kennysia.com over the excessive use of the word “Christmas” in a single post, which includes the word “Christmas” 16 times and 5 which were crossed out but still visible.

To avoid such a lawsuit, kennysia.com must change all mensions of “Christmas” to “Natal Day” as we deem the presense of “Christ” in “Christmas” as sacriledgeous…

…kinda funny

Saya ingin membawa kepada perhatian pihak tuan tentang suatu laman web “blog” yang di terbitkan di Malaysia. Di “blog” tersebut, saudara pengarang telah menggunakan perkataan “Allah” dalam konteks yang melawakkan. Pengarang juga sertakan gambar yang mepersendakan lagi nama Allah di dalam blognya. Saya sedar bahawa isu ini adalah sensitif dan ramai yang melawat blog tersebut menyangka bahawa orang Malaysia ini “over sensitive”. Ada juga terdapat komen yang boleh mencetuskan pegaduhan kaum malah lagi agama. Pengarang tersebut hanya perlu mengeluarkan statement “Allah” serta gambar yang kontroversi itu. Saya ingin menyampaikan ketidak puas hati terhadap cara cara orang bukan Islam menggunakan nama Allah dengan sewenang-wenangnya. Apatah lagi saudara pengarang itu adalah rakyat Malaysia yang tidak sedar bahawa sikap toleransi antara kaum dan agama menghasilkan sebuah negara yang harmoni.

Sekiranya orang bukan Islam Malaysia tidak mengambil endah tentang agama Islam, dan tidak menghormati antara satu sama lain dari segi agama, tradisi dan adat, mereka ini tidak berhak menjadi rakyat Malaysia.

hmm….trouble?

Oh Kim oh Kim. Please do not speak as if you are so almighty coz you don’t use photoshop.

Fact is, you don’t know how to use it to enhance your looks.

Or well, you could be using it (what would we know? At least I admit it), badly, coz you look even uglier than THAT in real life. That’s really sad.

Technically unemployed? Sorry, I earn far more than you do, so you don’t need to worry about me.

What is Voxy? I’ve got better and I’ll show you in 2 days.

Meanwhile, full-time blogger is something you CAN NEVER BE. Nah ah. Don’t say “I won’t wanna be a full-time blogger” yadda yadda. Until the day you manage to be one, then you speak from a position of authority and say you don’t like the job, ok?

I own the Best Asian blog with 20,000 readers, and haven’t you heard? When you are famous, money falls out of trees for you.

Turn-off of the year? My, if only newpaper saw your rashes!! What, do they extend to your, erm, privates? That would be really gross Kimberly!

a post supposedly submitted by XiaXue in response to Kimberlycun

CHECK THIS PICTURE OUT! It is ST and Kimcun naked!!!

Oh my GOD

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinkin during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees’ beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party- or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men’s table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, no cross-dressing allowed though we will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food we suggest for those people with high blood pressure to taste first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply “No Sugar” desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?

…funny cut-and-paste job about organising a party and going about it in circles due to political correctness.
