Changes Are Good

As you have noticed, this is the millionth time I have changed the template for my blog. You see, I get bored pretty easily and I have yet to find the template I really like, which explains why my blog is shedding its skin so frequently.

Sorry about that. I promise, if I ever get one template I like, I'll stick to it...until I get bored of it, that is.

One Thing I Learnt Over The Weekend

That you can be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) if your life is under threat. Which means if I stalk some one, that person would go to jail! Nice!

Meet Kingda Ka!

Kingda what? Prior to reading about it somewhere a few days ago, I didn't know what Kingda Ka was. Initially, I thought it was a seafood dish from some Klang restaurant. You know, something like King Prawn or something. Boy, I was so wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Kingda Ka:

OMFG! Who would have thought for something which has probably the funniest name ever could be the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. Launched by a hydraulic launch mechanism to 206 km/h in 3.5 seconds, this bad-ass roller coaster will climb the main top hat tower which reaches a height of 140 freaking meters!!! The Kingda Ka is located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey, USA.

I don't know about you guys, but for someone who is having second thoughts about going on the Space Shot in Genting again, I'm not looking forward to challenging the Kingda Ka to a do-or-die battle. Oh yeah, Kingda is gonna do it, and I'm gonna die!

Check out this video for a first hand experience:

Believe me, I did not take this video. If it was me, I would have shat my pants.

The Story Of A Travelling Bean Bag

Hiya everyone! Meet Joe, the sometimes annoying laughing bean bag. Joe is almost two years old. Joe was 'adopted' by his owner when he was spotted looking outside the window with his sappy eyes, pleading for some kind soul to bring him home.

Just like Mary's little lamb, Joe follows his owner wherever he goes. He has been to a few places and occasionally follows his owner to work. But no thanks to his annoying laugh, Joe has been banned from visiting his owner's workplace. Too bad, Joe, too bad!

One of Joe's favourite past time is to annoy the hell out of everybody. Some might think he is cute, but to others, he is downright annoying. During a recent road trip with his owner, he never failed to annoy his owner, eventhough his owner needs to focus on the road:

Not only that, Joe has a knack of showing up unexpectedly and often unannounced, just to annoy people. Somehow, Joe finds pleasure in ruining other people's day for the heck of it. Sorry Doggie and Bear, knowing Joe's annoying habit, you two should really get a room if you wanna make Bearpups!

But at the end of the day, after a whole day of travelling and annoying the sh*t out of people, Joe would usually kick back and give himself a pat on the back for a job well done. Mission accomplished. Joe lives to annoy another day!

That Evil Black Thing

Question: What is black, has buttons on each side and is known to cause some sort of finger injury?

Answer: This.

The mean, lean, black machine

I have been wanting to get one of these for the longest of time (yes, I know I'm three years overdue, so shut up!) but I haven't got the chance to, with money being the main reason why. Over the weekend, my brother got one and let me tell you, this black object is evil with a capital 'E'!

For anyone who loves gaming as much as I do, they would agree that the PSP is one hell of an entertainment device: you can play games, listen to music, watch movies and surf the web with this device.

When you have this device in your hands, hours pass by like minutes. On Sunday, I spent three hours playing this game:

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes

Not only is the game addictive but it is sure tough as hell. It took me almost 30 minutes getting past one round, no thanks to this guy. My fingers literally went numb after the three-hour stint. Not because I suck at the game, but the difficulty of the level is hard and I have only less than a day of training OK?

Anyway, I think I’ll get one by the end of the year. But at the mean time, my bro’s poor PSP will suffer the wrath of my PSP-derived fingers.

Burger King + McDonald's = ?

A friend of mine sent me the link to this very, very clever ad by Burger King:

Ronald McDonald would be so pissed

(Photo belongs to this dude)

This ad seriously made me laugh. Kudos to the people behind the ad.

And yeah, Whopper should pick on something its own size.

Brian Who?

Remember that chubby dude from Westlife? The one that sang background all the time while his better looking bandmates hogged the limelight? The one who left the band quite some time ago? The one on the bottom left hand side of the picture?

Boy Power!

Yup, that's Brian McFadden. Used to be one of Boys before he decided to leave and try to make it as a solo singer. Well, I won't say his solo has been a smashing success - well, not everyone is Jutin "Mr. SexyBack" Timberlake - but he did managed to belt out a hit or two. Like this one:

Brian McFadden - Like Only A Woman Can

Pretty great song, huh? But liking one song does not a fan make. But you know who I am a big fan of? I'm a big fan of his gal though:

Hey there, sexy!

Well, like they say: behind every wannabe solo singer, there is one super hot chick (who is most probably more successful than he is). Lucky bastard!

Top 5 Olympic Opening Ceremony Moments China Wants You To Forget

Uh-oh. Someone's in trouble!

Nothing is perfect. Even China's spectacular Olympics opening ceremony. It was all 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' at first, but now that the Olympics are heading to a close, the media has somehow spotted some cracks in the at-first-sight-flawless opening ceremony. They are just jealous, I reckon.
