hypocrisy at its best

More religious hypocrisy. How do people expect to find spiritual propitiation while eating chocolate truffles in a gilded bathtub in their 3600 sq meter hotel suite? More info on the super hotel.

I shall dwell no further on the essential beauty and richness of the Hajj because these can be understood properly only when one experiences them personally during the course of the pilgrimage. This much, however, I will certainly say that when, by the Grace of God, you may decide to undertake the pilgrimage, concentrate more on preparing yourself inwardly and spiritually for it than on anything else. Sadly enough, people bestow the greatest thought on the material comforts of the journey, they even want to take with them such trivial articles as salt, pepper and pickles and to equip themselves with as many as ten suits of clothes ; they get occupied with these preparations for months in advance but do nothing by way of making themselves fit spiritually for the great occasion. The result is that they gain nothing from it and come back as they had gone. It is not that a pilgrim is not allowed to furnish himself with material necessities before he sets out for the pilgrimage – within a proper limit, it is essential to do so – but these things do not make the real equipment for the Hajj. The real equipment lies in getting oneself ready with all the information needed for the carrying out of the duty and in the acquirement of the inner fitness which enables one to receive the rich spiritual benefits accruing from it. An important part of the endeavour to establish Hajj must be to create in the people’s minds an awareness of this fact. Without it, the Hajj will remain a soulless form and an empty ceremony.

sick degrees of separation

i like monday nights.

tv-wise that is.

have three sheets, thirsty traveller, samantha who, it’s always sunny in philadelphia, etc. even though i’ve to switch channels every now and then, esp during commercials. not gratifying though.

i love three sheets if you mind, thank you very nice.

and there’s lonely planet’s six degrees too.

yesterday’s episode they were showing asha gill prowling across kl. (it’s only come into mind that the episode is so dah lama basi already. my bad. im bad with tv actually)

ok fine, probably good. until that reshmanouruahhskxxkapalabutohakjskjas fella came onto the screen. actually a lot of the time. urgh. so asha was doing this was doing that and pooom she was suddenly in this club where she was brought onto the stage to answer some cheesy questions from the mc. which happens to be ferhad. one name. i wonder why.

i can see from the clip this asha gill was actually reserved when this ferhad was facing her. crossed arms, disinterested look, quickly running off the stage. well who wouldn’t? with an irritating mc like who wants to be pretentiously cool, even terrapins on one leg will dash across. he is very tak boleh angkat.

next scene, asha was talking to this cute chick. actually look more like the sevensetsofparallel girl. yes you. no offense though. ada resemblence i tell you. betul, tak bedek.

and so both of them talked. and asha finally looked relaxed. and this cute chick was talking about kl yadda yadda yadda, and she invited asha to come visit her house the next day. she mentioned a ranch. A RANCH. IN KL. pukimakdatok. cute chick AND freaking rich BUT looks the unpretentious lot . what. a. combo.

pap pap pap pup pup pup. commercial break here. commercial break there. (i actually like those jeniffer adams commercial. ok easy reason. she’s cute.)

moving on…

so suddenly asha was driving. an old school volvo. nice. and she was talking about this girl, names alyssa. father’s a diplomat, environmentalist, and mak datok abundance of expensive cars and the tak boleh tahan huge house. she welcomed, wore all white, hair tied with you know that straight little fringe hanging about and greeted with the voice that has a tersendat hingus blocked in the nose type but actually no hingus. you get the drift. probably she just woke up.

her dad suddenly appeared, and wow, he’s shy of the camera. low-key person and freaking rich. respect! showed family albums, family’s polo team. wow. then followed to her room, showed her impressive walk-in wardrobe and asha almost got an orgasm. then she revealed she’s already married. awww. which lucky guy actually dapat kawin ngan dia nih. mesti gerek nye orang. pasal seeing the family and all that so cool and releks and unpretentious – except for her friend that irritating ida nerina – everything was jolly golly. she can even play a mean game of polo. WHO IS HER HUSBAND NIH?

and then suddenly got a group of guys kicking and juggling a football. probably her brother. but somehow there was this silhoutte that seems familiar. big guy likes to wear tight clothes who think he’s very macho but actually looks fat, short crop of hair, very nak tunjuk tunjuk…..could it be? COULD IT BE? OH FUCKING HELL! IT IS! IT’S THE F(*&^%^&* BUAH LAICI FERHAD?! what the hell was he doing there? gardener ke? cook ke? dreber ke? or maybe the karoke singer of the day ke?

SKALI ITU DIA PUNYA LAKI DARRRRRRRRR….

maccow! he? HE?! married to the cute chick who’s rich but so unpretentious (on screen at least) with a very cool dad and has a ranch in KL?! what has the world gone to?! i have the feeling the asha gill was also surprised of this. i think. “alamak! this guy again?! i was running AWAY from him yesterday!”

that’s not all. when asha was about to make a leave, this bombastic singer actually got the nerve to bring on his homeys and do the acapella thing in front of the camera and he, yes he really must, grabbed the cute chick who’s rich but so unpretentious (on screen at least) with a very cool dad and has a ranch in KL, and sing to the top of his lungs.

as if we are impressed.

look. it’s enough already yer a freeloader, it’s more irritating to see you singing to the max to showcase your “talent” in front of the viewing public. we. dont. want. to. see. that. it is a travel showwwwwwwwwww…not aaaaaa singggginggggggggg showwwwwwww….weeee ddddoooonntt waaaannnntttt yoouuuuuuu toooooo sinnnnngggggggggg likkkkeeeeeee tttthhhhhhaaaaaatttt.

i hope you have the sentiments with me on this. and dude, please, dont wear your clothes too tight. i beg you. you are not usher. say that 1000000 times for 12 hours each day.

by the way, after last sat’s romp in the theatre of dreamers, i have a suggestion to all premiere league teams for next season. for next season, all teams should have grey in their away kits. seems the devils have an abundance of dissillusionment ( is that a word) when grey is put up in front of them. maybe they only see the world in black and white. probably. just a suggestion.

ok bye.

kara you tak ok

A 23-year-old Malaysian man was killed on Thursday night after reportedly enraging other customers who felt that he “hogged the microphone” at what Malaysia’s Star Online described as “a coffeeshop-cum-karaoke outlet” in the town of Sandakan, on the island of Borneo. more.

not only concert performers need to conform to PUSPAL rules, now karaoke rules are to be imposed too! messia, truly asia!

and raise up your hands if anyone of you went to the ben and jerry’s chunk fest! we are such suckers for these things. oh the queue! sanggup sumer!

and is it just me or is almost 40% of the population is hoggin about their dee ass el ars as a form commodity of fashion accessory? everyone was like snap snappity and hanging to their necks like a form of dog tags. fuh.

back

back to black, with deadlines looking even deadlier.

anyway i’m still in holiday headiness, the idiot self still can’t shake off the pause mode.

because of this.

peeves.

can someone advise to the public that playing psps while crossing the road is a bit, off?

and while you are at it too, please put up a law that you do not spend 15 mins while doing transactions at the atms.

i-r-r-i-t-a-t-i-n-g ok!

soopah tuesday

results are out. oh well, change cannot be undone yet. hah. results here.

if all else fails, they can fuck matt damon.

funneh dat sarah silverman.

hair sprays

sometimes you wonder if that hairdo will do on you.

other times, you just want to hairmix! 

full of air

yes it’s beautiful. but oh so dangerous.

if parents or any other control freak who blames “condom advertisements located near to schools are bad” or “you are better off to proceed to ITE instead of doing ‘O’ levels because 40% of the cohort will drop off in the polytechnic” type, they should be very, very concern at the manner apple has produced its products lately.

you see parents or any other control freak, you should worry because apple has really put a stamp mark on everything these days as “nothing else matters as long it looks piss ass beautiful”. nothing else. just. make. it. beautiful. no one will care. they’ll just drool at the enthusiasm and all the world’s problem will cease to exist. no function? so what! we don’t need substance these days. we just want style. it is in our nature to potray an image that is more beautiful, er, elegant than anything else. gettit?

so parents, please be worried about these matters. unless you too are swayed by this. but if you are still buoyed by it, you can always get this. beauty is everything, right?

This is the most ridiculous piece of news, ever. Ever!

class of 2007

well, the girl fm yest’s post could’ve learn something or 2 from these fellas. hoozah!

honestly, we don’t mind if the PTC keeps increasing the fare charges without any consultation and review from the public if they apply this to every train.

anyways, chromewaves and muzzleofbees had put up the yearly end-of-year-best-of-the-best list. sarip gotta honest, he didn’t really keep track on moozik much this year, but what the hell, he’ll list some of his own. if interested, go and download here.

the 2007 bias list:-

sarip’s favouritest album of the year:

hands down to iron & wine’s the shepherd’s dog. nothing beats an energetic sam beam after listening to accoustic chords all this while.

sarip’s favouritest song of the year:

panda bear’s bros pipped by feist’s 1234 just because she makes sarip stim kodok.

sarip’s nostalgic songs of the year:

atmosphere and this time tomorrow.

sarip’s idea of downbeat tracks to play all night on a saturday night:

the field’s from here we go sublime.

sarip’s musical inspiration of the year:

the national’s bryan devendorf for his incredible drum play. somehow he looks very john lennon-ish.

sarip’s most meluat gimmick of the year:

the kanye west vs 50 “war” and that this is why i’m hot song

sarip’s first excited then bingit moment of the year:

they are still raving about in rainbows’ brilliance of marketing?!

sarip’s confession of the year:

he really loves umbrella eh eh eh.

KAU KAT MANERR PUKIMAK!~

maybe pasal dia tak dapat gi tengok konsert mcr, but this sure beats melayutangga.com.

heheh.

if only, ONLY, she can use this talent when looking for missing taxis.

“KAU KAT MANERRRR PUKIMAK! KAU KAT MANERRRR!!!!”

confirm, taxis will appear on the dot like mushrooms after a rainy day.

just a thought.

cocknut

ayam so ketinggalan zaman kan, but anyway let’s do some peep show before “they” take it down. more here.

is it me or is everyone else saying that if you are interested in getting a car, “die die you better get it by this year cos the coe will go back to its original state again starting from next year” type? really?

if that really happens, then that (new!) jazz model that should come out mid next year have to be still an angan angan factor. bastards.

sensasi’s enemy no. 1

if the repeal377a debate can generate huge sentiments to the general public, may i suggest we do a campaign to repeal anakku bukan anakku or any other sinetron on tv? once 9 pm starts, the irritating theme song (with respects to the initiated) will play over and over and over and over and over and over again. ramlah was transfixed to the goggle box from beginning to the end and (sometimes!) shouts to the tv, displaying angst and other macam-kena-rasuk-entiti. terkejot jang skejap kadang kadang. worse, they repeat the show daily – sometimes up to THREE times a day! please sane people everywhere, lets reject sinetron9pm now!

bolehornaut

overheard on warna this morning

“siapakah angkasawan pertama malaysia?”

“dr. sheikh?”

“bukan. ayah pin.”

at least dia bukan tourist.

but best commented (so far)

Apparently the Malaysians have a real talent for being astronauts, since they’re really good at taking up space.

no offense, but that’s (very) fuhneh. oh light up a bit!

hari ini di parlimen

menteri angkat menteri, encik tak boleh tah an, pada hari ini telah mengulaskan bahawa penal kod tiga tiga tuju A akan tetap dijalankan di singa pura pura memandangkan imej negara ini mungkin dicemari. beliau menyatakan bahawasanya jikalau pemerintah tidak menjalankan lagi kod tiga tiga tuju, singa pura pura mungkin akan menghadapi tekanan ekonomi yang lebih buruk kerana ramai lelaki tidak akan kawin dan terus asik nak main dengan kaum sejenis dan sewaktu dengannya. beliau menekankan lagi bahawasanya tindakkan untuk meneruskan rang undang ini adalah untuk kebaikkan moral entiti untuk semua rakyat. beliau runsing jikalau undang ini tidak dijalankan lagi ramai mat rempit tidak akan beli dan repair motor tetapi lebih cenderong memasukki bidang makcik makcik seperti bidang mak andam dan mungkin akan meruntuhkan bisnes fatema mohsin.

jadi tadi pagi sarip dah lah bagi surat tender kat the manager. muka dia bingit macam dendeng dah basi kaper. tapi gua try eksen cool. tapi yang tak dipaham, bila masa orang cakap orang tak boleh clear leave bila ngah taim notice period? setahu gua, bleh per.

tapi tak per. sabar jer lah kan. gua pun dah tak boleh ngam lagi ngan perangai owang owang blitain nih. yek ajer diaorang mentang mentang diaorang owang puteh. diaorang cam fikirkan diaorang nih masih lagi tinggal dalam zaman koloniol siot. yek ajer banyak, tapi buat benda macam tak masuk akal, sepert:-

1. ada satu director nih kita orang adalah bagi dia satu laptop cum docking machine. jadi senang untuk dia gi sana gi sini lah kononkan. so ada satu hari tuh, dia tanya dia boleh bawak balik tak dia nye benda pasal nak buat kerja kat roma. kita orang cakap ‘go ahead’. hari keesokkan nye plak dia berteriak kat kita orang, apasal docking machine dia tak berjalan. dia cakap monitor dia tak betol. nak complen plak tuh. kita orang ada lah bergegas-gegas gi tengok dia sebelum dia jadi mount pinatuboh. skali kapala citot, sampai bilik dia, tengok sana tengok sini, member tak bawak laptop dia kaperrrrr. nak ketawa pun lemah gue.

2. ada lagi satu. sama jalan jugak. dia cakap monitor dia gelap. aku adalah cakap ‘u dah on the power switch?’ dia cakap “OF COURSE I DID!’ gua adalah gi sana tengok kat dia lepas tuh tanya dia, apasal dia nye power cable terlantar atas carpet.

ada banyak lagi beb. ada yang marah marah pasal tak tau camner nak save dia nye document. ada yang marah marah pasal system hang lepas tuh kita kena shut down dia marah pasal dia nye benda blum disave. ada yang marah marah apasal tak dapat network connection lepas tuh tengok diaorang yang cabut sendiri itu network cable. tak sanggup i.

mula mula gua ingat skolah mat salleh ni oraight oraight. skali tengok isyk tak kuasa aku. dah lah kena dilayan macam orang suruhan, diaorang nye step adoiiiii..tak leh angkat beb.

so sapa sapa kan yang satu hari nak keje ngan ni skolah internasional, fikir lah beribu kali. jangan fikirkan nak step kenal kenal cewek cewek mat salleh yang masih muda muda kot…tak berbaloi.

Rid Orchard Road of beggars and hawkers

ONE cannot help but notice an increasing number of people begging for money and selling tissue paper along Orchard Road.

Also on the rise are illegal hawkers at places such as outside Orchard and Somerset MRT stations, selling anything from mobile-phone covers to roasted chestnuts.

I urge the authorities to take action against this group of people, as they are giving a bad image to spanking clean Orchard Road.

This is especially so as Orchard Road is a major tourist attraction and we wouldn’t want tourists and foreigners alike to bring home an image of Orchard Road riddled with sidewalk beggars and illegal hawkers.

Nuryusman Mohamed Ibrahim

something is telling me this mr nuryusman is an elitist yang tak menjadi and most probably very interested at those cars at the bazaars whose scheme of no downpayment hurrah is such a ripoff and loves to pop his polo collars up to look oh so cool ala frat boy basi.

selat hari rayer cik nuryusman…
