Is it just me, or today’s latest news in The Malaysian Insider is a tad bit ironic?

Malaysia. Where the laws of the universe does not apply.

I’m chasing after Heroes, and am in season 3 episode 9 currently. And I must say something.

The series is just plain lame.

The “good” guys are plain incompetent, and the “bad” guys are just plain ignorant. So far there isn’t any memorable heroes or villians yet, and that is… lame. I mean, COME ON. Peter losing his powers? OK I’m fine with that. Let’s see how he gets back his power. But he wants Claire to… stay innocent? L.A.M.E. And Claire’s plan? Jump out of the window. How original.

And what’s this about Hiro getting turned into a retarded 10 year old? He had the power of time on his hands. A simple blink to stop time would suffice. And don’t tell me about him having bad reflexes. He was the one who stabbed the faster-than-bullet Sylar, right?

And then there’s Elle. The only one who’s acting actually was good. And then you have Matt, who is easily one of the best in the series. But then they had to fuck up the whole series by putting them on the sidelines. Elle’s subplot with Sylar? That was lame with a fucking capital L. And then Elle taking it out on Sylar by frying him? And Sylar saying “I won’t say sorry because it’ll be an insult yada yada”? Oh. My. God. How retarded can the storyline be?

You need an epic suspense of intelligence to actually enjoy this show.

I am phobic of people who create drama out of thin air. I really am. So that’s probably why I’ve rejected dramaticians in the past and stuck with the “keep’n real” crowd, for the sake of less headaches.

Dramaticians almost always make life harder not only for themselves but also for the rest of the world out there. Most of these people are losers, and without all these drama they can’t justify the existence of their pathetic lives. It is sad because they usually start off as a genius in a niche area but then they get sidetracked into trying to “fit” into crowds that they don’t belong, and probably don’t need.

I am not saying that these people are true “losers”. I reserve that word normally for real losers like those filling our parliaments right now, sitting on the BN side, but dramaticians are a sad case to observe mainly because they remind you of what you could have been had you not spent time working on bettering your life. It is a stark reminder that anybody, at any time can descend into dramaticism when their life takes a bad turn simply by doing nothing at all. Not attempting to actively fix things and sitting and whining about how much life sucks is one sure-fire way into the world of dramaticism.

In the end, while I am glad that I am relatively sane, I feel sad for those who try to spice up their life at the cost of others’ happiness.

I ROFLMAO on this one:

Man, Fallout 3 is the king of game glitches.

A picture again speaks a thousand words…

You will NOT believe this. I just had a conversation with a pretty lady…

ingridmonungolh: hahah yeah
ingridmonungolh: and then finally he was getting serious about it
ingridmonungolh: i mean very serious
ingridmonungolh: so one time he visited me in my house just to tell me that he got the right answer
ingridmonungolh: and he told me not to tell anyone about it
ingridmonungolh: he said it like this(in a whisper), hey ingrid! i finally got the right answer.
ingridmonungolh: so i asked, right answer to what?
ingridmonungolh: he said, which comes first the chicken or the egg?
ingridmonungolh: so i said so? i already told u the answer
ingridmonungolh: he said, no. i had a talk with an old man and he gave me the right answer
me: so what is the right answer?
ingridmonungolh: do u know what the old man told him?
me: err
me: the farmer came first?
ingridmonungolh: hahah okay ill tell u!
ingridmonungolh: the old man said, it was the egg!
me: LOL
ingridmonungolh: ull never believe the reason
me: that’s why you dont go to old people for advise – they tend to screw with your brain
ingridmonungolh: wahahahahaha
me: what was the reason?
ingridmonungolh: the old man said, in the beginning, i mean adam and eves time, adam didnt have an egg but when he started to sin, he grew eggs!!!!!!

That was when I choked on my water and floored myself laughing my ass off. The next line was absolutely golden:

ingridmonungolh: but my ex was very convinced so i broke up with him

SMART GIRL!

I’ve finally resigned.

It takes 1 minute to type the resignation letter, 10 seconds to press the send button, and then it’s over. 5 years, just like that.

It had been an incredible journey in my company. 5 years of mostly stress free life, chances to go to sunny California on business trips, excellent salary and zero office politics. What more can one ask for? Then why do I want to leave?

It’s because while the conditions are good, it lacks something. I don’t feel connected to the company. I don’t feel any ownership in any project because they are but outsources from other clients. Once the contract ends, so does the project.

I’m always the kind that wants to do things my way, even if it means reinventing the wheel. Good and bad, this way had always led to me learning new things that I might have not learnt in the past, and perhaps also because of this I am striking out on my own to walk my own vision.

I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I do know the sinking feeling when I pressed the send button on that resignation e-mail. That’s the comfort zone imploding right in front of me, and from then on its the rocky seas and unknown future. It might be a maelstrom, or it might be smooth sailing. Who knows? Will I survive? I will. I have skills that I can count on to save my own ass. The question that I should really be asking is…

Will I succeed? I do hope so.

Time to start fighting.

Sometimes when you’re playing a movie and press pause, you get funny expressions on the screen. This is what I accidentally got when watching Love Guru (crap movie BTW).

I just bought a nice tee from my friend Andrew, who runs a design company called Genesis Culture. Check it out
