Why Would I Write

  • Gig #9

    My sister knew that I couldn’t afford my own SG yet, so she decided to be nice and bought one for me:

    And it’s not just any SG, but a limited edition re-issue of The Fool!

    Not. I wish though. Haha.

    Anyway, I haven’t been updating recently due to my time being spent defending the guilty in Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney 😛 if I knew being a lawyer was this fun, I would’ve considered a career change back in college!

    I’ve also been busy working on the comic which I announced I was working on with James a long time ago. So I’ll be more free to blog when I’m done. Besides, nothing that interesting has been happening to me lately. Besides late night encounters with strange creatures in strange places. And the usual fun shit I do with my buddies, haven’t had much to say recently. Going through some sort of writer’s block.. I’m even having trouble penning lyrics for my newest song! Hopefully it’ll pass soon.

    And last but not least, this upcoming Saturday night (taken from Reza’s myspace):

    Come one, come all, and watch me perform for the open mic 😀
    And catch Jerome (one of the main acts). That man is a siren! Haunting voice and poetic lyrics. Real good stuff.

  • Train Tracks


    While waiting for the train this morning, one dude just fainted (from the heat perhaps.. it was a scorching morning) and fell head first onto the train tracks. I think everyone gasped and once they realized that he wasn’t getting up, a whole group of guys (5-7 men? I didn’t count) jumped onto the track and put him back on the platform.

    Good thing the train was still quite a distance away when the man fell down. The guy woke up a short while later, got up and looked clueless, as if he had no idea he fell. Awhile later some station staff came and took him away. They ‘unpaused’ the train, and I got onto it. Shocking and depressing shit first thing in the morning. The whole journey I kept thinking about ‘what if he died?’. The way his head hit the track, I was surprised he even survived it.

    I was late for work again.

    As I was discussing with Jacinth earlier (omg I name dropped you!) I learnt something new:
    Despite all those signs around the train tracks- they will not electrocute you if you go on the tracks! Weird huh!? We’ve been brought up all our lives (well at least I know I was) to believe that going on a track would kill you. Either way, electrocuting or not, it’s not a wise idea to go on train tracks :p

    I deserve a bad citizen award.
    Instead of rushing over to help the man, I just stood there and watched the other people do it. I do feel guilty about it. Hopefully next time I’ll do something instead of just watching. Oh wait.. let’s just hope there’s no next time. I think seeing one man fall head first onto the track is enough for a life time.

    I wonder if any other morning Setiawangsa LRT users read this blog. haha

  • Senior citizens.

    So I was just chatting with Jason about how AC/DC ran out of their pension savings that’s why they’re releasing a new album this year.

    Speaking of old people, here’s a post that I jotted down in my phone awhile ago but never got around to posting it up:

    I was at the bank the other day, waiting for my turn (it was taking forever as usual) when I noticed a sign saying that the first counter was for senior citizens. Basically it was saying ‘old people don’t need to queue up, just come to the front and do your shit’

    So I started day dreaming and imagined how life would be like if was a senior citizen. I would be the worst senior citizen ever! I would abuse my privileges every opportunity I got! I would cut queues, I would pretend that I had poor bladder control and use that as an excuse to push ahead in non-senior citizen lines!

    I would make people give me their seats in trains! I would abuse senior discounts! “I’m buying tickets for the whole old folk’s home!”

    If you’ve seen Jackass, then you know the kind of stunts they pull off with old people suits. I would do those kinds of things, stopping short of showing my balls in public. Haha

    I would scold kids who annoy me, and their parents would agree with me just cos I’m an old man. I would crap and piss in my pants just because people expect me to.

    I would take out my false teeth in public and snap them at people’s ears. I would cough in other people’s food and in their faces.

    I would cuss at random strangers and wave my walking stick in the air. When people talk to me, I’ll pretend not to hear them or that I don’t have short term memory just to annoy them.

    Damn, the things that old people can get away with!
