My ego was so massive that not one other person could stand being in the same room with me, even for 2 mins!! it was so bad that even family members were keeping their distance, for fear of my backlash when they tried to bring me down to earth!!<br /><br />i thought i was the best around and god's gift to humanity! nothing anyone said had any bearing on my self being, it was like I was god himself!!<br /><br />it applied to everything that i did, be it in my studies, be it in my music, be it in my relationships.<br /><br />in an ideal world, it would have been great to say that i saw the light one day, that god saved me... but the truth is, he didn't, i guess he couldn't be bothered about what i was doing, since i was so self consumed!<br /><br />i have my good buddies satpal and jaggu to thank for that... they showed me a mirror of myself, and i didn't like what i saw, they tied my feet ball and chain to ground me, and the ran the truck over me over and over again... until i can to my senses....<br /><br />i was crushed, defeated, humbled, ashamed, torn apart in pieces, rotting... for i saw me for who i was... nothing much at all... that all my life i had amounted to nothing!! not even a speck of dust... i thought i was the best musician there ever lived, but i had barely achieved anything of recognition... and so on and so forth... all my short comings were exposed and shown for what they were... just layers of lies and more lies... that i had build around myself... because deep down inside, subconsciously, i knew that i was nothing much... and that i feared of being ridiculed... so i created this persona of myself.... just to keep me happy...<br /><br />anyways, many moons have passed and i am much changed!! i made right of all my wrongs when i was mr. EGO, and it has served me better....<br /><br />and here, i give credit to GOD... many people were shocked when i took amrit(for the non-Sikh's, baptism) out of the blue in 2000. i did this not to find god or to look for a purpose in life, but, in all honesty, i need HIM to help me stay grounded... and by being a SIKH, i remain grounded... never has my ego popped up again... and it has done me a lot of good!<br /><br />i put in a lot of work to improve my self in all aspects, being guided by the invisible hand of the GURU... and i have a lot to show for it now... and i will keep on working for fear of going back to my old self, and disappointing everyone that i love.<br /><br />i can talk openly about it now, it wasn't easy back then, but i cant talk about it now as i have suppressed the ego and it will never rear its ugly head again....<br /><br />my memories were triggered by a recent incident between two dear friends, both with ego's the size of a football field and both oblivious to it!! when push came to shove, and they were both exposed... it hurt them, more so one party then the other, some snide comments were made and both clashed... and when i say clash, i mean clash of the titans!!<br /><br />needless to say, both parties have since drifted apart, and i can only hope that time will heal their wounded self being, and kill off their ego's... for the sake of everyone else around them, and more importantly, for themselves!!<br /><br />so i you guys are reading this, please do not make the same mistakes that i made, do not take the same path that i took, for it is a path that will crush the weak... and at this moment, i dunno if your fragile self being can take such a massive blow!!<br /><br />but, guys, no matter what, you are family, and family helps each other, and i will do everything in my power to repair the damage done to you first, and then between the two of you!!

Event was hosted by Joey and Marion(also of Channel V fame, but i knew her way back from when she did makeup for me on Latte@8, so i guess she owed her fame to me!! and her face changed when i reminded her!! haha ;P), and it was to celebrate Heinekens partnership with the champions league!!<br /><br />The band played a short piece for the event launch and left soonest possible.

Really?Everyone would have heard about the recent "Bersih" Rally that happened two weeks ago. If you havent, get the hell out from under that coconut shell you're in!!<br /><br />The "bersih" group plan was to gather 100,000 people from around the country, get them to wear ugly looking yellow t-shirts, and protest outside the high court... yeah... pretty high hopes... in the end, the managed to gather 10,000 people (which is no mean effort), mostly from the east coast, of which only a handfull wore the yellow tee's... but they didnt manage to get into merdeka square area cause the police brilliantly cordorned off the area.<br /><br />the plan was to have a peaceful protest against the electoral system, get the public aware of the con jobs that happen behind the scenes during elections blah blah blah... noble intentions, no doubt, but the way they went about and did it was hillarious and plain dumb!!<br /><br />1. traffic in this city came to an absolute standstill on the day of the protest. this was due to the police putting up roadblocks to prevent dodgy characters from entering the city. all forms of public transport were searched and many were ordered to turn back after searching was complete... u know that if it rains a lil bit also, the trafiic jam is terrible (which everybody complains about), some more want to have protest all... with people from PAS all joining... bloody arses... simply make every other person miserable, want to go and makan also cannot... haiyoo...<br /><br />pity the shop owners... all lost business... add that to the damage that the protesters caused while running way... inconsiderate...<br /><br />2. after marching all the way to merdeka square n you find that the place is cordorned off, just leave la.... some more wanna wait around and chant GOD's name all... wasnt it supposed to be a political rally and not a religous one? fools... if the nice policeman tells you to dispearce, just run la... some more try to force your way thru their line... they got no choice but to spray water n shoot tear gas up your ass la... then try to use some dodgy video from al jazeera to taruh the police for being violent... the SUHAKAM chairman was in the group to observe police action, he gave a loud and clear staement to all media the next day: THE POLICE AND RIOT UNIT ACTED WITHIN THE LAW TO BREAK UP THE RALLY, NO UNTOWARD TACTICS WERE EMPLOYED... and this coming from the body that always have something to say about the police and the tactics...<br /><br />3. when kena spray and gas... not enough one round, one to go for second helpings... this time use small kids as sheilds... dah la rope this blur fella's to your dumb cause, use them as sheilds... bloddy cowards... why not step up to the plate? shame... now trying to deny all... the child protection act will get your ass.... just wait...<br /><br />4. after all of this, still never learn lesson... still want to protest... march all the way to the palace to give your memorandum... very happy when memorandum was passed... went out and made press staement that the king accepted your memo, that the king also feels for your plight, that the king also agrees the electoral system is flawed, that the king also wants this fixed... blah blah... LAT's... when you were giving this statement, the whole country knew the king was back home in Terrenganu for the Endurance Challenge... we all saw it on TV one day before... so how did the king say all of this? the none week later... the palace called for press conferance... and hte king's offical statement was released: HALO, THE KING ALSO DOESNT SUPPORT THE RALLY LA... HE ALSO THINKS YOU GUYS ARE DUMB ASSES... long live HRH The KING!! why never kecoh when the king gave his statement? because that was the truth... and you were down right embarrased!!<br /><br />let me give you some advice la... if you want to organize another rally... dont... save yourself the embarrasment... and let us leave in peace!!<br /><br />MALAYSIA BOLEHRAvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17651419038484524524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25649959.post-58150783624346125562007-11-16T19:00:00.000-08:002007-11-20T04:08:48.445-08:00A case of Farlo Man Singh Da...Some time back, a dear friend of mine told me of an unfortunate situation she was caught in... and this, naturally involved a guy... so I put my self into her shoes and saw the horiffic side of it...<br /><br />We shall not name names, but for the sake of story-telling,<span style="font-style: italic;"> we'll call him </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Konchenskis</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> (I can picture some fellas laughing already!!</span>).<br /><br />Now, Konchenskis is a well known fella,!! Just the mention of his real name makes people panic and girls drool in awe...<br /><br />Anyways, this is how the story goes, the two of em had been going out less than a month... and over that month, he had always suggested that he wanted something more out of the relationship... jeng jeng.. no prizes for guessing what HE wanted (<span style="font-style: italic;">I would like to stress that I told her so!!</span>)!!<br /><br />One fine nite, while at his place and with his parents upstairs (<span style="font-style: italic;">daring bastard</span>)... he got close to her... and suddenly pulled out his Man Singh/Pee-Pee/Shlort...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/R0KMIk_eFOI/AAAAAAAAAQc/ymQwJc941hs/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/R0KMIk_eFOI/AAAAAAAAAQc/ymQwJc941hs/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134820604152517858" border="0" /></a>no.... it's not a sunny day!!<br /></div><br />(<span style="font-style: italic;">you get he picture!!</span>)... got it all excited, and <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">forced her to stroke him to glory</span>, grabbing her hand and forcing it on him!! all this while, even when he suggested it to her, she was telling him NO...a big fat NO!! he still went on with it and told her to relax... (<span style="font-style: italic;">how cliched is that?</span>)<br /><br />GOd, if she didnt run off that immediately, who knows what would have happened....<br /><br />He got his jollies off and she was in agony and almost in tears... and she felt like chopping off her hand (<span style="font-style: italic;">she settled for washing it with detergent, handwash, soap AND clorox</span>).<br /><br />Where have all the gentelmen gone to?<br /><br />This was certainly an act of total selfishness!! and he had the cheek to tell her to relax...if it had been me, i would have slapped him in the face and kicked him in the balls!!<br /><br />I have to say I felt Shy and sorry to listen to the story...<br /><br />shy for all mankind... already girls think we are horny bastards for all off 24 hours, except when we're asleep... and this would just fortify their views... Never im my live have i done this to a girl... even if a girl asked me to whip out my salami, i would tell her to wait for the right moment, i just dont do public showcases for anyone you know... and for those girls who say this isnt a big deal and it happens all the time in these modern times, <span style="font-weight: bold;">fuck-off</span>... you gals are sluts and deserve all the crocked cocks that come your way!!!<br /><br />i felt sorry for her...but more sorry for that guy <span style="font-weight: bold;">Konchenskis, </span>he will never be able to have a proper relationship with this kind of behaviour, what with him forcing his ex to have an <span style="font-weight: bold;">abortion</span> to protect his name... the cat's out of the bag my man... the masses will find out about your first mistake... and they will definately find out what you did this time!!<br /><br />needless to say that she is scarred for life and has sworn off guys and never wants to get married!! how sad is that? If every guy behaved like that jerk, and every girl reacted like this... there wont be anymore humans in less than 100 years... imagine that... sigh!<br /><br />anyways, to all guys who are about to get into a realtionship, or have just got into one (<span style="font-style: italic;">you know who you are!!</span>), please do not do something like this... i know you cant wait to whip it out like a pornstar, but think of your woman... respect her... cherish her... and in the end, when the time is right... you'll get it, just like a porno flick!! haha... trust me on this...<br /><br />and to girls who have experienced the same thing and reacted the same way... feel free to leave a comment with your email... i'll be glad to come and whack the guy who did it to you!!RAvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17651419038484524524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25649959.post-26855620680640462072007-11-09T20:13:00.000-08:002007-11-12T02:44:12.960-08:00Drills and SoldersFor sometime now, Christy and myself have been talking about doing her dhol up, you know, sanding down the inside, getting rid of 'those' ugly threads hanging around the drum, changing the treble skin, sorting out a new belt, installing a ring and a mic for pick-up.<br /><br />Finally, we got off our bums and set about this task last Tuesday....<br /><br />This was an adventure of mishaps from the start...<br /><br />Day 1:<br />First up, we tried Bentley music store, but the buggers were closed early (<span style="font-style: italic;">or rather, we were late!!</span>), so we dropped by my good friend Jin's store (<a href="http://jsmusic.com.my/website/home.php">JS Music, for all your drumming needs</a>) to get the treble skin, after a few minutes flipping thru the wide selection, we settled on an Evans J1 Syntethic Calf Skin. Having full confidance in <a href="http://simplicitacious.wordpress.com/">Christy</a>'s measuring skills (<span style="font-style: italic;">she was supposed to measure the circumferance of the dhol, but instead measured the circumferance of the old skin</span>), we got the 12 inch rimmed one. RM39 spent here.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgkXzaciXI/AAAAAAAAAO8/ShZYJM9dGRY/s1600-h/IMG_1940.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgkXzaciXI/AAAAAAAAAO8/ShZYJM9dGRY/s320/IMG_1940.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131891766745401714" border="0" /></a>Brand new skin!!<br /></div><br />We then proceeded to Chambers Music in Sungei Wang(<span style="font-style: italic;">every other store was closed</span>) to get the mic-clip that was going to hold the mic inside the dhol, there weren't many options available, so we settled for a rather funky looking one, what with it having the best grip and being shck proof. She also wanted a new belt, so I have to buy her one la... she conviniently chose the most expensive belt in the store... but it's all good tho', it'll last her a lifetime!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzbkojaciWI/AAAAAAAAAO0/HurBDQGYjj4/s1600-h/IMG_1970.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzbkojaciWI/AAAAAAAAAO0/HurBDQGYjj4/s320/IMG_1970.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131540210787322210" border="0" /></a>New "<a href="http://www.planetwaves.com/">Planet Waves</a>" Belt!!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzbkUTaciVI/AAAAAAAAAOs/6TKaeR3uG_M/s1600-h/IMG_1951.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzbkUTaciVI/AAAAAAAAAOs/6TKaeR3uG_M/s320/IMG_1951.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131539862894971218" border="0" /></a>Mic Clip<br /></div></div></div><br />After getting dinner, we took a tour of KL's newest offering, <a href="http://www.pavilion-kl.com/content/index.php">The Pavillion</a>. My, it was a massive and of beautiful infrastructure, but it's definately not for me, everything was too expensive and out of my range. If you walk in to BATA and can't afford anything there, you know the place is outta your league...<br /><br />Anyways, the day ended on a flat note as we found out that we didnt have the other items needed to do up the dhol... no nuts and bolts, no wires for the pick-up and no XLR ports for the inserts...(<span style="font-style: italic;">my fault, this, i didn't check my stock!!</span>), to add to the dissapointment, we then found out that the skin we bought was one size too small!! What a way to end the day...<br /><br />Day 2:<br />Ahhhh, nothing like a fresh new day to jolt the spirits...only that, once again, we went to Pasar Road late in the evening!! After braving thru the jam, and countless manoeuvres around potholes (<span style="font-style: italic;">plenty of potholes in Pudu !!</span>), we finally got there, only to find that all the shops were closed or closing... lucky for us, good ol' Darson Electronics was still brightly lit, and we got our supplies from there, cheap too. 2 meters of XLR cable, 1 male and 1 female XLR port for only RM15.60!! Good deal for quality stuff!!<br /><br />We grabbed some dinner from Sri Rampai and rushed (<span style="font-style: italic;">we're always rushing!!</span>) to the nearest, random, hardware store to buy some nuts and bolts. Thank God this fella had a good stock of bolts, so i was out of the place in 5 mins. Only RM1 spent here!!<br /><br />Soon as we got to my place, <a href="http://simplicitacious.wordpress.com/">Christy</a> set about cutting out the old GBC skin from its rim and bending the edges inwards with a long nosd plyer. The edges are rather sharp and she bent 'em inwards to avoid it damaging the new skin when tension is applied.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzglDDacibI/AAAAAAAAAPc/r9-bPedYFGk/s1600-h/IMG_1949.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzglDDacibI/AAAAAAAAAPc/r9-bPedYFGk/s320/IMG_1949.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131892509774743986" border="0" /></a>India mari... out with the old!!<br /></div><br />While she was doing this, I was conviniently having my dinner!! (<span style="font-style: italic;">Santa lil Elf?... more like Bhai's Not So Lil Elf!!</span>)<br /><br />Soon as the rim was bent and my plate empty, we got down to real work. We thought that dividing the job would sav time... lil did we know that it was going to take us more time than ever...<br /><br />I sat about with my mighty drill and <a href="http://simplicitacious.wordpress.com/">Christy</a> with her smitty solder...<br /><br />Slowly but surely, I drilled out the first hole at the bottom of the dhol, where the male XLR port was going to be inserted. After getting the right hole size, i changed bits and started making a small depression on the left of the hole for the live wire. Happy with the results, I then drilled out the hole for the holding nut and started screwing it in... a bit of a hassle, but nevertheless, i got it done in record time!!

First up, the existing solder iron that i had refused to heat up properly... the sleeve was piping hot, but the tip was ice cold. After shouting and moaning for 20 mins, i finallly stopped laughing at her bad luck and got off my arse to buy a new solder iron.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzglVzacidI/AAAAAAAAAPs/ZK9TWvk3F5Y/s1600-h/IMG_1952.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzglVzacidI/AAAAAAAAAPs/ZK9TWvk3F5Y/s320/IMG_1952.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131892831897291218" border="0" /></a>The Friggin faulty pice of crap!!!<br /></div><br />The regular hardware stores across my house were all closed, (<span style="font-style: italic;">which Chinaman in the right frame of mind would still be open at 11pm?</span>) I made a fast mental note to always check my equipment... Anyways, as I was returning home to tell <a href="http://simplicitacious.wordpress.com/">Christy</a> the bad news, I saw a big ass hardware store right in my area!! Who would have guessed? I've been living in the area for 13 years and this is the first time I spotted a hardware store...a well stocked one at that!! I bought a good and expensive soldering iron, with the hope that it would work properly this time... I couldn't take another round of her complaining and yelling!!<br /><br />Soon as I got back, she got working on the wires as I prepared the mic clip for bolting, After long, long hours and many, many attemps to solder the wires, she finally got both ends done!! Hooray!!<br /><br />I brought the pick up into the house for testing and attached it to the sound console, it worked, but there was a slight hum and a lot of distortion... After confirmng that the soldering was ok, we discovered that in her many attempts to solder one particular stubborn wire, she heated the contact point so hot, that the rubber casing on the inside had melted and in the process, damaged the point a bit (<span style="font-style: italic;">ok, it was damaged beyond repair actually!!</span>).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgmXTaciiI/AAAAAAAAAQU/WoE-ZUfRRU0/s1600-h/IMG_1965.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgmXTaciiI/AAAAAAAAAQU/WoE-ZUfRRU0/s320/IMG_1965.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131893957178722850" border="0" /></a>Point of note: Never solder one place too long!!<br /></div><br />So, I brought an end to our second, mishap filled day... For every step we took foward, at the end we always had to retrace our steps and find that we used the worng route, but got to the destination nevertheless....<br /><br />Day 3:<br />Left everything as it was... No motivation to do anything after the double whammies..<br /><br />Day 4:<br />Went to town to meet Jin and get the skins changed, he was busy with the contruction guys (<span style="font-style: italic;">soon JS Music will be a massive establishment!!</span>), so he got one of his staff to tend to me, she was blur and couldn't seem to find the transaction history for the exchange (<span style="font-style: italic;">we didnt have a receipt</span>), I kept repeating to her that we bought the skin after hours and that no receipt was issued, and she kep insisting that every transaction had to go thru her and since there was no history of us buying the skin, we wotn be able to change it (<span style="font-style: italic;">I swear this was like a scene from MTv boiling points)</span>!! Thankfully, Jin came in the nick of time (<span style="font-style: italic;">I was about to open a can of whoop ass on the girl</span>) and sorted everything out. New skin - 13 inches!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgkejaciYI/AAAAAAAAAPE/z_0Yq7ZsKK0/s1600-h/IMG_1941.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgkejaciYI/AAAAAAAAAPE/z_0Yq7ZsKK0/s320/IMG_1941.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131891882709518722" border="0" /></a>Beautiful Baby!!<br /></div><br />Went back and <a href="http://simplicitacious.wordpress.com/">Christy</a> was already at my place waiting (<span style="font-style: italic;">we had to go for a gig first</span>), she got ready, we went out, the gig got cancelled and we came back!! (<span style="font-style: italic;">just in tune with the whole week's theme...</span>).<br /><br />We lazed around the house for a bit, she fell asleep, and I proceeded to make some tea for the clan!!<br /><br />As she slept like a baby (<span style="font-style: italic;">or in BM - macam mayat!</span>) on my living room chair, I quietly removed the faulty Male XLR port and soldered the wire onto a new port. Once done, I did a test run (<span style="font-style: italic;">waking Christy in the process</span>) and everything worked fine!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/Rzgk4zaciaI/AAAAAAAAAPU/7oG_6vIWDDk/s1600-h/IMG_1944.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/Rzgk4zaciaI/AAAAAAAAAPU/7oG_6vIWDDk/s320/IMG_1944.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131892333681084834" border="0" /></a>This is what you call professional workmanship!!<br /></div><br />Beaming with pride, I proceeded to install the wire into the drum...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgluzacieI/AAAAAAAAAP0/ScMfhuKkh-I/s1600-h/IMG_1953.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x4rnEdfpBuY/RzgluzacieI/AAAAAAAAAP0/ScMfhuKkh-I/s320/IMG_1953.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131893261394020834" border="0" /></a>Ready for installation.<br /></div><br />keeping in tune with the turn of events of the past few days, disaster struck!!
