Vocabulary Lesson with CK (July 2008)

noob noun

Noob, or newbie, is a slang commonly used in online games or internet activities to describe clueless newcomer.

It's usually used as an insult, but the term can also be used in a non-derogatory context.



Was wondering whether to post a book review, a funny picture entry, or a vocabulary lesson for the last entry of July.

Since I am still about 60 pages to the end of the novel I am reading, and have only been reading that one book this month, book review is out.

Done the images for the funny picture entry, but decided it best to hold on to that first since I used this noob term in that entry.

I actually have another vocabulary entry readied for this month, but to cater for the funny picture entry, it's this word instead for today. =)

Pool Side BBQ

Had a pool side BBQ on Sunday, colleagues and friends graced us with their presences. Woot! I have some friends after all! =P

Anyway, this is going to be pictureful instead of textful, so here goes... (all photographs courtesy of CC Phang)


Hoong Hoong said the BBQ = Baby Cute, here's why =)


more Baby Cute


my license to BBQ

But really just for show since I hardly did any grilling, much to the relief of the guests, since my options for them were (1) blood-dripping-raw, or (2) charcoal-black-burnt.


Let's compare leg hair... nevermind, you don't have any!

Me think someone is really undergoing hormonal change. =P


Colgate users smiling for the camera


look! No hands!


ooh! Yummy yummy!


the real chefs of the night, thanks guys!


more Baby Cute!


His Royal Highness King baby Hsiang for the family, just Hsiang for you =P


these are the quality control panel


me think the food is good =)


about twenty odd at the party


fathers and sons, sorry sorry, for my case it's slave and King


maybe these are Darlie users

great party if I say so myself =D

Will upload more photos to Sharing Corner in a few* days.

*Don't hold your breath, "few" is very subjective. =P

It's approaching, part deux

I am seriously excited about the party tomorrow. Been planning for it for a few weeks, looks like it's finally coming together.

Got most of the stuff ready now, a few more to pick up tomorrow morning, and we are good to go.

The initial response after we sent out the invitations was rather disheartening, a few of the closer friends will not make it, and some just tentatively coming.

=(

Oh well, I am not a charismatic guy and my social network is rather limited, no thanks to my lack of interpersonal skill and that bout of antisocial hiding in cave period.

Hope people will turn up tomorrow.

Anyway, I will be mightily disappointed if it rained tomorrow. The party will go on sunny or rain, but will definately be much more enjoyable if it's sunny.

I will say a prayer before I go to sleep tonight.

Masculine Scent

I am like so goody good until even my pleasent body odour has healing property!



Yea, like that also can.

=P



Names of the not so innocent covered to protect their identities, the pink force is strong in them two.

So, you think you can sing huh?

So, how long a karaoke session can you and your friends go on?

Two hours? Four hours? Eight hours? Twelve hours!?

Well, according to YT (inside joke) MyFM, some people just did 18 days.

What the fish?!?!?

18 days? Really boh?

I doubted myself, mayhap I have heard it wrongly, so I did some searching. My google-fu was up to the task and here's what I found.

Ahh, 216 hours, that's 9 days. Perhaps it's eight days and a bit being rounded up and I heard wrongly kua?

Then I saw this: 446 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds. That's seriously more than 18 days.

Wah. Lau. Eh. 0_o"

My personal record was losing my voice after the grand total of...




1 song! kisah benar (real case)

Don't play play.

吴言鸟语

基于原则不留言于诽谤吾者
在此闲话儿几句意表抗议矣
不明者莫躁,事关者则明也
不明既是事不关己,何躁也?

俊阳之名乃嫉妒之源也
某阴性名中性化者眼红
将俊阳名改个不伦不类
改似阴性名者新嗜好亦

在此为阴性名者劝言几句
你中性化之变无需隐瞒矣
有如你部落格隐藏的字语
众所周知亦都明白接受也

Me Sad

A few things to be sad of...

After the false alarm that got me excited, His Royal Highness King Baby Hsiang has uttered consciously "ma ma" when he indeed meant it.

Mother gets all the first from baby, so unfair. =\

No conscious utterance of pa pa yet that I am aware of.

=(


---

Today, I probably stepped foot for the last time in the house and its garden that held so much memories .

The house is officially sold and no longer belongs to my father.

Took some photos and a short video of the interior of the house while I was there.

Something for reminiscience.

The new owner is going to unroot all the plants in the garden and cement the whole place. The horror!

Will someone please think of the mango trees?

=(


---

Had a birthday celebration today, and there are some funny photos.

However I can't share them under the threat of a scary person who told me phrases like "body bag", "disappear and never be found", "cut into many pieces".

I am a chicken shit peaceful person and these violent words shocked me enough I decided to take the threat seriously.

Besides, that person is really scary, and evil.

Oh, said person also warned about posting conversations, instant messaging logs and what not. So basically I can no longer share anything that I find funny or else no one will talk to me anymore.

=(

Me sad.

It's approaching...

Grey matter has been unusually active since yesterday.

Plotting, planning.

When, where, who?

The ball has started rolling.

Tidbits

Tidbits I heard on air or seen on news recently:


Who needs war when you have Malaysian drivers?

About 6284 deaths involving traffic incident in Malaysia in year 2007. The MyFM DJ was joking about not needing war, just need Malaysian drivers, the fatality is higher.

Funny, and yet sad. Too many irresponsible, selfish and rude drivers, it's a bloody shame!

Honestly, just because you pay the road tax doesn't mean you own the road. Vehicle manufacturers can probably sell special edition no signal light vehicles to some road users and they wouldn't know the difference, these idiots don't use their signal light anyway!


Let's eat our gold encrusted 200 course meal while we talk...

Security, transportation, accomodation, 18 course meals, and other things that burn money amounting to 600,000,000,000 Yen (RM18,000,000,000+) to facilitate leaders from eight rich countries to merely talk about climate change, global food crisis, poverty, et cetera is definately the way to show the world you meant business...

... not.

That's the amount spent in 2008 G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit.

Think how much good it would do if that humongous sum of money was actually used in real actions instead? Poverty eh? Food crisis eh?

Bloody hypocrites.


Come on, have the balls to remove balls

Cut off the testicles of habitual rapists? Hell yea! The person who gets that law through gets my vote next election.

Once is already bad enough, these reoffenders should be thrown into jail where some "brokeback mountain" action would be forced onto them, let them experience it from the receiving end.

Then cut off their balls.

Those scumbags can rot in hell as far as I am concerned. Waste of oxygen.


Too snobbish for common terms

When you were supposedly representing your people in cabinet or parliament meeting but you were actually dozing off and got caught doing so, you don't admit it or even use the common term of "fishing".

You say you were practising Yoga instead.


Have no clue what I am talking about? No worries! Many ways around this, two suggested here:
(1) who cares, CK doesn't know what he is talking about most of the time anyway...
(2) go catch up on news, perhaps?

I would go with (1). =)

Mangoes No More

Father sold his corner lot house in Bayan Baru. If all went as planned, the house will no longer be his property from mid of July.

That house holds a lot of memories, I spent most of my youth there.

The house has gone through many transformations. There used to be a hole in the wall between kitchen and dining area, which was eventually sealed. The garage has been transformed into a big room, the lounge extended along with it.

Flooring changed, doors and windows changed, front of the house changed from grass land to cement. I remember those.

Garden that was our football field, badminton court, BBQ place, et cetera

The garden has changed so many times I can no longer remember when we had what.

There used to be two sizable "artificial hills", one directly in front of our front door shielding the house from nosy passersby, and the other in the garden.

They were gradually reduced in size through the years. The front one disappeared completely when the cementing of the front of the house occured. The one in the garden shrank to about one-forth it's original size.

I learned how to ride a bicycle in the garden. It might well be in that house that I learned roller skating too. The one with two front and two rear wheels per side (quad skates), not the fancy single line wheels thingy (inline skates).

Vege corner that has provided all the vegetables we need and more

We used to have many fruit plants, which also reduced in number as the years went by.

We had pineapple, guava, watermelon, banana, jambul, and I think it was a longan tree that never bore us any fruits.

And of course, the mango trees. Good old mango trees.


I will miss the mangoes. I love mangoes, and the home grown ones were simply the best, they were the only fruit I missed when I was in England all those years.


Good grief, I will miss the mangoes sorely. =(

Father used to conduct class here, and he is good at it

Close friends of mine had their fair share of memories in the house too. After all, we spent many a nights chatting to the wee hours, recording silly album, playing table top game... The parties, the gatherings, the fun, the tears.

The good old days.

Oh well...



Damn, I will miss those mangoes! =(

虫言鸟语续集


在我创造这超强的字时,我脑海里的概念是鸟为主体虫为配体的。

非也非也根据某高人之见,该是虫为主体鸟为配体,此高人还有图为证…

呃…

强!
