Rantings

Wow, I can't believe my last post was back in 2010! Well, it's a new year and a lot have happen since. Just want to wish everyone a great year ahead. New year, new abode, new start, hopefully all good things will come to fruition. Like I said earlier, lots have happened in the past year and a half. If you haven't already guessed, things haven't been that great. So, here's hoping things will get better this year on. A few good things did come my way though. With my last employment, I managed to make a trip back to Malaysia and endede up spending nearly 6 months with my family and friends. One good thing came out of that. I rekindled my frienship with a very old school mate of mine and made a few other new mates in the process. We spent a lot of time rekindling our past and pondering our current situation and the future. It was like renewing our friendship and getting to know each other better. It has to be said that we were not in contact for a good few years since I moved to Australia. Well, I'm really happy and pleased that we managed to achieve this contact. Our trips to Thailand has been memorable as new friendships were established and lost. Yes, lost. One early morning in Thailand, I received a phone call about our friend who collapsed on his bed. We rushed over to his place and found him not responding. Helped moved him to the hospital and waited until the dreaded news was given to us. Yes, he was gone just like that. We were with him and his wife for dinner just the night before and there were no signs of any problems. In fact, we were with him every day for that past week. Fucking gone just like that! Stayed for his funeral and it was quite a memorable one. May he rest in peace. Well, that why I've always said that we should just enjoy ourselves and not get too caught up with all the bullshit that surrounds us. Whether it be financial, career, family or whatever it may be, just get over it and not let it engulf your life. Live life and be who you are. Life is too damn fucking short! Hence, I quit my job and sticked it to them lol! Spent a few months doing jack shit and enjoying myself with family, friends and food! Oh, there were women in between :-) If it's any consolation, I still do not have anything or anyone in my life. I lost a lot this past year. Life goes on! Chinese New Year is only a couple of days away and I am going to be in Melbourne this year. It was like it was only last month that I spent CNY in Malaysia. Totally fantastic time. Also managed to catch up with my son albeit only for a couple of days. I guess it's better than none. Well, the latest news is that my son and his mum will be coming back to Malbourne this March. Hopefully, I'll be spending more time with him, just to get to know him better. It's a bit like starting a new friendship. It's sad but at the same time exciting to get to know my son. Fingers crossed! Actually, I feel more for him as he will have to start all over in making new friends in new schools. I know it's not going to be easy for him and I hope I can help him overcome some of the difficulties. Well, I hope he would have an easy transition to another new life. Let's hope we can do it together. Well, like I said, new year, new beginnings - lets hope all the life's goodness goes your way as it comes my way! Fingers and toes crossed lol! Ok, enough of my ranting. It's time to go to bed. See you all next time, hopefully not too long! Cheers.

Personal Vaporizer / E-Cigs

It's been a while since I wrote anything here. A bit of hiatus :-)

Well, today I want to write about my experience on smoking to improve your health. Yes, you read right but with a twist.

On a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur back in May, I saw a guy smoking something that didn't look like a cigarette at all. There was smoke being blown from his mouth after a drag. I thought wow, WTF is it that he is smoking! So I plucked up my courage and asked him what is it that he's smoking?
From that day onwards, what he showed me changed my life for the better, serious.

He told me it is called a personal vaporizer or some may call it electronic cigarette. Yes, all those years of inhaling thousands of harmful chemical and tar produced by cigarettes came to a stop for the better.

For those who doesn't know what a PV or E-Cig is, it's a battery powered device that uses nicotine juice with or without flavours to heat up a wick in the atomizer to produce vapour which we inhale and exhale. That's right folks, no more harmful chemicals and tar.

Nicotine juice or e-juice comes in various mg of nicotine where one can buy online mostly from China. In Australia, the government has banned retailers from selling e-juice that contains nicotine.
The government is also trying to ban the sale of PVs. The reason is very obvious to all.
If you still can't figure out why, well the government makes millions of dollars from tax on tobacco products. So, tobacco companies and the government have a vested interest in banning the sale of PVs.

A study was done that the nicobate patch or inhaler contains more nicotine than in what e-juices have. However, these can be bought in every pharmacy without a prescription. The government legalises the sale of such items but not the PV. Can anyone give me a better reason why this is so besides giving the reason that such devices hasn't been tested to be safe! OK but are they doing anything to even start a research or test on such devices??? I rest my case.
Adults are old enough to make up their minds on whether they want to continue smoking even if a pack of cigarettes cost $20.

The government tells us that by increasing the price of cigarettes, it will discourage people from smoking. Well, they fail to tell you that, the real reason is to fill up their coffers while letting smokers deal with their addiction on their own. Why else do you think they want to ban something that help smokers to quit cigarettes which is so much safer in so many levels.

The e-juice contains nicotine, water, vegetable glycerin or propylene glycerine and flavouring.
There are hundreds of different flavours one can choose from and it includes tobacco flavours too.
Again, I have to stress that there are no harmful chemicals and tar in the vapour that is produced from vaping. Oh, the other great thing about vaping is that there is no fowl smell as like from smoking a cigarette. People around you will not have to worry about second hand smoke that is produced by cigarettes.

There are a lot of people that like to smoke in their cars. Me personally, I don't like smoking whilst driving. With PVs, drivers won't be flicking their cigarette butts out of their window and littering.
On the subject of littering, do you notice that there are almost non existence with rubbish bins that allow smokers to get rid of their cigarette butts?

Think about it, no ash trays, cigarette ash, butts, bad smell, bad breath, stained teeth and most importantly, no risk of starting a fire with a cigarette butt. How good is that for everyone, even the environment.

Vapour produced from vaping dissipate so quickly after exhaling you won't even realise it. Unlike the smoke that is produced from a cigarette. Now, if you haven't noticed, I've been mentioning vapour instead of smoke. Yes my friends, there is a difference between vapour and smoke.

3 months on and no urge to have a cigarette! I reckon that's a great way to stop smoking.
Don't forget, one can reduce their amount of nicotine content in time and eventually stop having nicotine all together.

I hope I've contributed to someone that intends to quit smoking via suing a PV. I have been a heavy smoker for about 25 years and by switching cigarettes to using a PV, it has helped me tremendously. I feel so much better health wise. No more coughing and irritating mucous. Have better taste and sense of smell is back for good.

For those who wish to know more about PVs and vaping, feel free to contact me or comment here and I will be glad to provide you with more information and sites to refer to.

That's right, make a change for the better for yourself and your loved ones.

Until next time, vape on and vape nonchalantly.

Flying Rules

Hi guys, I know it's been a while since my last post. Have been busy.

Today I would like to talk about the rules of being a passenger in an airplane.

I'm sure most of you have travelled in a plane whether it be domestically or internationally.

Besides the cabin crew telling you to turn any electronic devices off before the plane takes off, they also inform you to stow your luggage either on the top storage area or under the seat in front of you. All these, I can understand why but what about your waist pouch or fanny bag as some may know it as? Has anyone experienced this?

It's not a fucking luggage. It's strap around your waist for a reason. Wouldn't it be safer for it to be strapped around your waist then to put it under the seat in front of you? It's too small for it not to be flying around the plane just because it wasn't made to be stowed under the fucking seat.

I recently flew to Cairns and had the fanny bag around my waist and the stewardess that went around checking that you have your seat fully up, your seat belt on and what not saw that I had the pouch around my waist and didn't say anything. Which was great to know she had good common sense.

However, on my way back from Cairns, another stewardess asked me to put my pouch under the seat in front of me. Why the fuck would she ask me to do that? Can someone please enlighten me? It's not like it will get in the way if I need to brace myself in case of an emergency. The fucking seats are way too close for anyone to bend to far front anyway!

Not wanting to be arrested before departure, I took my pouch and put it in the pocket where they keep the inflight magazine etc. Right after she walked away, I strapped it right back around my waist and hid/cover it with my jacket I was wearing at that time.

The funny thing was that my friend next to me was also wearing a fanny bag but the stewardess didn't see it. More ironic is that when she came back later with the food trolley, my friend had to take money out from his fanny bag to pay! What happened there, she didn't say a god damn fucking thing. Now, am I being paranoid or was she being a racist? Or maybe she didn't dare say anything to him cause he looks like "Dog" the bounty hunter. For those who don't know who the "Dog" is, he is a bounty hunter who has his own reality show on pay tv. Fucking bitch!

Now, don't you think this is just ridiculous we have to undo our waist pouch? I mean, what the fuck! Is it because in case of an emergency sea landing where I have to wear my lifejacket that it gets in the way? Is that the reason why? If so, then yeah maybe I can accept that reason, not without a lot of resistance though. I'll still take my fucking chances that I'll be able to wear the lifejacket with my waist pouch on.

Another thing I need clarification is why are we supposed to lift the window screen up before take off and landing???? Will it affect the plane's electronics or the pilot flying the fucking plane? Please, someone please satisfy my need to know why. You can't ask the cabin crew without them thinking you are being a smart arse. Oh no, you just can't do that anymore, asking a simple question.

Going back to turning off all electronic equipment before take off and landing. You are allowed to switch them back on after the plane has taken off and cruising a safe altitude. I don't understand what difference it makes. Really, I don't understand and see where the logic is.

There has already been talk by some airline to allow mobile phones to be used on flights.

I mean, if an airline can make such a statement, don't you think it is highly possible that normal electronic devices such as mobile phones, ipods, laptop etc are safe to use. I mean if they are suppose to interfere with the plane's electronics before take off and landing, wouldn't it also interfere with the plane's electronics during the flight?

Fuck, I really don't understand some of the rules and regulations that are out there for us the masses to adhere to. I mean, who the fuck are these people? There are so many fucking stupid laws out but that's another story for another time.

It's a short one today as it's real late and I'm fucking tired.

Till next time, fly safe (no punt intended).

Drivers

Kombatsd

I am compelled to write this bit after months, no, years of frustration in enduring slow fucking drivers! I'm sure many of you would have experienced the frustration of driving behind slow drivers. Tell me you haven't come across such drivers and I am still a virgin (courtesy of RPK :-))

If the speed limit is 60kmh, then go at 60kmh for crying out loud. Not 50, not 55kmh but fucking 60kmh. Ok fine, if you want to drive slow, then please move over to the fucking left lane. Don't freaking hog the right lanes and make others overtake on the bloody left lane.

This is just basic fucking courtesy.

Drivers in Melbourne need to learn the unwritten ethical rule of keeping to the left when they are going slow or when there's a car tailing behind them. Clearly, they want to overtake and pass you cause you are driving like a fucking tortoise. Don't be offended the next time you find someone tailgating you, just move to the left lane ass hole. Everyone will be happy.

Worst are drivers on the highway or freeways fucking cruising along at 60 - 80 kmh without a bother at all. A highway or freeway is a 100 kmh limit. Don't just think you own the fucking road when you drive. Have some consideration to other drivers. I really don't care if you drive a fucking ferrari. Drive slow, move over dude. Don't be a fucking pain in the ass.

Alright, some of you might say that, oh speed kills. No, speed doesn't kill. Only reckless and inconsiderate drivers kill! They have no fucking driving skills, that's what it is. Unless they are on fucking drugs or bloody drunk. Our governments and police don't help in righting this issue.

They keep dropping the fucking speed limits. I mean, what the fuck are they thinking.

They should be teaching new and young drivers to be safe and considerate drivers. Fuck!

Fucking idiots are still driving and talking on their mobile phones. Haven't these people learn they really can't multi task! It's an acquired skill, multi tasking. Not everyone can multi task.

Also, if the authorities ban drivers from using the mobile phone while driving, they should also ban drivers from smoking while driving. I believe smoking whilst driving is even more dangerous than talking on the mobile phone. Fucking ban smoking on drivers.

I think I should be a politician and become the transport minister. I will fucking ban all slow drivers and I'll make the highways and freeways free of speed limit, just like the autobahn in Germany. Fucking go crazy but make sure you know what the fuck you are doing when you drive that fast. Know your limits. I think all drivers should be made to go for further advance training in driving. Then, there will be good safe drivers. Not fucking idiots you have roaming the streets.

I believe most drivers have no confidence at all while driving. Don't know what the fuck they are doing. The other side of the coin is, drivers rely to heavily on their cars for safety. It boils down again to lack of driving experience. Go for advance driving lessons if you are one of those people who owns high powered cars.

Fucking ban all slow drivers from the road and make it safer to drive without idiotic slow drivers. They should just use the public transport system and help save the environment at the same time. Less cars on the road, less pollution and happier drivers. When will they ever learn?

Come on, cars nowadays have shitloads of safety features. ABS, air bags etc etc. Even the crappy cheap new cars have most of these features. Cars of today can handle the speed and performance but it comes back down to crap drivers. I think auto car makers should just go back to basics and make 1,000cc cars for everyone to drive if we can't make full use of the car's performance. Why have V8's or turbo charges when we can't fucking drive the car as it was built to do? Performance, baby. Why Why???? Fuck me dead if I can answer this question.

Fucking governments spend shitloads of money in advertisements telling drivers not to speed or you'll get fucking fined! Fucking speed cameras put up everywhere pissing the shit out of everyone. What the bureaucrats need to do is spend the fucking money in providing new drivers advance driving skills. Then you will see a definite drop in auto mortality.

I say this again, SPEED DOES NOT KILL! Only irresponsible and reckless drivers kill, not only themselves but other innocent road users. However, don't get me started on fucking cyclists!

That's another story for another time.

I'm sure by now, you would have deduced that I like to drive at a faster pace than the ordinary folks. However, I have to say that I am a safe driver knowing what my limits are as well as my car's limits. No hero here, just fucking detest slow drivers. You realise I didn't use the word "hate" as it think it's a strong word. However, I am not far from using the hate word lol!

My patience is wearing thin.................

Right, I think I've said my piece. Now it's time to get some freaking dinner.

Till next time guys. DRIVE SAFE AND KEEP LEFT FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!

Your Basic Rights

This post is for the benefit of all Malaysians.

WTF is with all this bullshit apps??? Who the fcuk would pay for such an app!!!

iPhone sex: make someone very app-y

The new Passion app for the iPhone.

Asher Moses

July 29, 2009 - 12:26PM

A new iPhone application has been released that purports to measure how competent you are in the sack.

The ‘‘Passion’’ app uses the phone’s built-in accelerometer, used to sense motion, as well as the device’s microphone and timer.

Simply place the phone on the bed or in a pocket before intercourse and, at the end of the horizontal dance, the phone will give you a rating out of 10 based on three criteria: duration, orgasm and activity.

The timer measures duration, while the accelerometer measures activity and the microphone measures the orgasm.

The score can then be uploaded and compared to those of other people around the world. There is even a ‘‘high scores’’ leaderboard for those interested in bragging rights.

The $US4.99 app is the brainchild of Chris Alvares, a US computer science student who has previously developed a number of iPhone quiz apps including WikiQuiz, Four Squared and MusicApp.

‘‘All you have to do is start the application, put your iPhone on the bed, in an arm band, or even in your pocket and have intercourse, it is as easy as that,’’ Alvares wrote in a blog postannouncing the new app.

‘‘Once you are finished, press the stop button and view your results.’’

Those with more fuel left in the tank can elect to ‘‘try again’’ if they’re not happy with their score.

In an email interview, Alvares said he was not sure how many copies of the app he had sold yet as it had only just been added to the iTunes App Store.

‘‘No, it is not a hoax, and it actually works! The idea came up as a joke between some of my co-works [sic] and I, and later I figured out an algorithm that I could use with the iPhone’s available features,’’ he wrote.

The iPhone App Store’s army of third-party developers seem to be showing a predilection for bizarre and tasteless apps, a trend kicked off by the iFart app, which reportedly earned $US10,000 a day and inspired 13 copycats.

Other apps in a similar vein include Naughty Trivia, Amateur Surgeons, R U Drunk, eShaver and Purity Ring.

An app called ‘‘the most annoying app ever’’ serves no other purpose than to constantly pester users.

This week bloggers were amused after discovering the top three most popular iPhone apps focused on sex, drugs and alcohol.

These were Swimsuit Illustrated’s Swimsuit app, the Cannabis app for locating medical marijuana dispensaries on a map and the Mixologist app, which includes mixed drink recipes.
