oh shuddup


Just when you
thought you've finally got all the puzzle pieces put together perfectly;

Just as you
sit back and admire your hard work;

Just as you're
about to cover the whole thing in puzzle glue so that it never falls apart ever again,


BAM!


An earthquake hits and your pieces are scattered all over the floor...


Oh-ow! pity.

Hello again, blog.


Since everyone has been bugging me to update my blog of late, I decided, why not? After all, something did pop into my nonsensical-junk-filled-brain today. I have therefore decided to write this extremely long post about that very 'boring' something just to ward you guys off reading my blog. :)

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Today, after lunch with some really great as well as greatly missed friends, I accompanied Julia on a trip to pickup her little brother from the Tropicana area. We had to take a detour to get there and back; a detour that took us about 10-15 minutes more than it normally would take. Why? All this because some 'brilliant minds' came together and decided,
hey! there's more than one way to get into this area, why don't we block the most convenient one of all? Let everyone waste 15 extra minutes and that much worth of petrol just to get to us. That would be fun! It would make us feel pretty darn-diggity important too!
When we finally arrived back at the Damansara Utama area, as we drove past the road I would normally take to Julia's house, I noticed that it was, as always, blocked. We had to take a different route and bypass the check-point where the guard just bums around and does nothing. Pretty efficient, I would say. After all, that is the whole ides, isn't it?

But inefficient guards aren't really much of my concern at the moment. I just had this thought... Is it me, or does it feel like the world is becoming a less and less liberated place? Is it me, or is freedom slowly dissipating into nothingness? I mean, just think about it from the point of view I brought up. Everywhere we drive, we are restricted by some barrier or another. Most of the times, these barriers aren't even necessary. Sure they say it's for safety purposes. But like I mentioned, most guards just bum around and do nuts! Most of the time, they just take one cursory glance at you and waves you in. Unless they have a photographic memory, I don't see how this helps.

The world used to be such a free place. People in the stone age walked where they wanted to walk, slept where they wanted to sleep. Of course, this glorified take on the past ignores the fact that danger lurks behind every stone. However, it is true that freedom means less now than it did before.

Last time, freedom meant - do whatever your hands want to do and go where ever your feet takes you. Today, we think we're free regardless of certain facts.

In some places, you pay to use the loo; you pay to use some roads; you pay to park your car; you pay to drink tap water. Nothing comes free anymore. How many times have you seen a sign that says : 'trespassers will be prosecuted/shot'? How many times have you came across a sign that says : 'no entry' or 'authorized personnel only'? How many times have you been told 'you can't' to doing something or going somewhere? You can't do this, you can't say that, you can't go here, there, anywhere! You can't, you can't, you can't! These are words, signs and rules which are common in our everyday life.

Even as a child; even as an infant, we are taught boundaries.

A kid puts his limits to the test by climbing the steps, his mother goes, no! bad boy! Do you want to fall?! and whacks him. Honestly, how bad is a fall compared to a whack?

A child reaches out to grab something edible on the table to eat. Instantly a hand appears as though magic, from out of nowhere and whack! No! bad boy/girl! You won't be able to finish that! Well, who are parents to tell their kids they won't be able to do something or another?

These are based on real life observations. :P




So in conclusion,
anyone who says that he/she is free is, to be honest, completely delusional. The word just simply does not exists anymore. End of story.

Man attends own funeral??


Omg this is extremely hillarious!

So this was what happened...

On November 1, some family members and friends had identified the victim of a car crash as the 59-year-old Goncalves.

They scheduled his funeral for the following day, Dia de Finados, a holiday when Brazilians remember loved ones who have died.

What Goncalves' family did not know is that he had spent the night drinking at a bar near the site of the crash, but he was not the victim.

When the bricklayer got word of his funeral, he showed up at the Funeraria Rainha das Colinas funeral home Monday morning.

Now, the part that got me laughing xD

The sight of Ademir Jorge Goncalves alive shocked relatives, some of whom tried to jump out of the windows of the funeral home in southern Brazil.

Luckily no one died of a heart attack though.
Ha ha ha!





I should stop posting about stuff I read on my CNN widget.
This is getting to be a bit much. :P

our hearts are with you...


You know, everyday when I read the news,
my hatred for society; for the world, grows that much bigger and stronger as my hope for mankind dwindles.

Today, I almost broke down in tears as I read the article about
Michael Brewer,
a boy of mere 15 who was set on fire by 5 of his FRIENDS.
4 of which are 15 while the 5th is 13.

All of the boys had been friends since elementary school, authorities said. They did sleepovers at one another's homes, and their families knew each other.



65% of Brewer's body is now covered in 2nd and 3rd degree burns; his organs no longer function the way they should and the only reason he still breathes is because a ventilator is doing it for him.

Three juveniles were arrested Monday night, hours after the incident, and two others were arrested Tuesday, Sgt. Steve Feeley said.

"A couple of them last night were laughing about it," he said. "One of them arrested today seems genuinely sorry about it."


These children are not human.
How could they possibly be when they don't even seem to have a heart?

And here I was thinking that children are the most pure and innocent;
that they are mere victims of this cruel and ugly world.

Just goes to show how wrong a person can be.
Sometimes the worst of crimes are committed by the most unlikely of people.



So why did they do it?
This is where my heart sunk into the pit of my stomach.

The attack occurred after Brewer reported to police that one of the youths had stolen his father's bicycle. Police say the bicycle was stolen because Brewer did not pay one of the boys $40 for a video game.

According to police, witnesses said the teens called Brewer "a snitch" as they used a lighter to set him ablaze.


Who would have thought that the day would come when a $40 debt and a bike that probably only costs a couple hundred bucks would be enough for someone to commit such a heinous crime?

What has the world become?!?!

Brewer may never lead a normal life ever again and hey, he might not even live to retell this tale.
All this over something so petty and childish.

I'm sure even the Mafia wouldn't do something as inhumane for way more than that.
Ok..., maybe they would.

Which comes down to this:

When the day comes;
the day that we start comparing 5 teenage boys to the Mafia,
we'll know that there is officially no more hope for mankind.

Oh wait, that day JUST came.

Witness Provindencia Maldenero told CNN affiliate WPLG, "I saw a kid throwing something at the other kid, and next thing you know, the kid was on fire. He was up in fire."

A resident used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, and Brewer jumped into the complex's swimming pool, WPLG reported.

"In my 31 years -- I always say, 'it's the most heinous crime I've ever seen,' " Lamberti told reporters Tuesday. "This one fits in that category. The fact that a person would intentionally ignite another child on fire -- it's indescribable."

Nothing can EVER justify what those teenagers did.
There simply is NOTHING in this world that would ever permit, rationalise or justify such drastic actions.

And the fact that they could still laugh about it...

I can bet anything that although it started out as revenge at first,
in the end,
it was all just fun and games.



These kids are fucking retards that deserve to be put away for LIFE.

However,
there is, unfortunately, a snag in the criminal justice system.

Four of the boys, all 15 years old, could be charged as adults. The 13-year-old also could be charged as an adult but under Florida law only if Brewer dies.

So...as long as Brewer doesn't die;
as long as he simply remains breathing with the help of a ventilator and cling onto dear life despite his pitiful existence, the 13 year old boy will not receive the punishment he rightfully deserves.
Quite frankly, i think they should redefine the word 'death'.
Because the way I see it, Brewer is in a condition far worse than death.

That 13 year old boy better be praying damn hard that Brewer doesn't die -
for both their sakes.





Sigh. Once again, the legal system has let me down.
And I was suppose to eat, sleep and breathe legal for the next 3 days.

Am demoralized.
