As most of you guys might or might not have known, I’m pretty observant and a busybody when I’m alone or not, and I do one-to-several-to-many things that might get me cursed at on a regular basis by total unknown strangers. This involves, but not limited to, waving at random Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, on a weekly basis who drive past my office on the way to lunch (Their showroom is nearby), asking really inappropriate questions to everyone that looks like they have an answer to everything, and trying to give that English accent when I pickup complaint calls, and my current personal favourite, blading into crowds at east coast.

The point being, this is what I saw today: A container trailer parked opposite the road, which is relatively hard to cross, is empty, the uncle apparently took time to cross this road, hopped across (I’ld presume) a meter wide drain, just to chat with another guy on the other side of the fence. Now, this fence is the regular type of fence with wires interleaved, so you can hold them while crutching your fingers in a crutching shape, not to mention the gate for this particular fenced up factory is just about 20 metres away? So you can imagine how it looks like, 2 guys standing up, left hand on left waist, right hand kinda like pointing upwards while hold on to the fence, chatting with each other.

You know the times when you wished you had a 200 megapixel camera built into your head, and you had a wireless usb port to transfer that photo back into your computer and upload it to twitpic for everyone on facebook to see? Yes, this was one of those times.

Personally, with my twisted creativity, I could think of no logical reason why one person would park their humongous trailer on one side of the road, wade past traffic, jump over a drain, just to pose and chat. To make it even more complicated, their roles were reversed, and when I tried to take a photo nonchalantly (like one of those little kids trying to play with their new newfangled technogadgetry devices, pretending to sms), they actually stood further away, like they were guilty of something. When I mean further I mean like one step aside, but STILL holding on to the fence trying to appear as if they happened to walk past each other under the orchard underpass.

As a sidenote, this was the most interesting thing that happened to me on the way back from lunch, and yes, lunch is so dis-interesting that I had to make it more alive.

PS: If I ever run across the street with Maseratis racing along the road, and I happen to jump across a drain, to hold on to the fence just to chat with you, please shoot me first before I embarrass myself in front of people like myself, again.

Now everyone will love my Elizabeth more! I think.

Elizabeth is that old man under the white sheet of cloth. Not the black thing that resembles the lousy but pretty looking mobile.

And for the lazy asses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintama It’s one of the very few things that can make me LOL.

One has got to love CBS’ The Big Bang Theory. Sure, it’s for geeks, by geeks, and there’s a whole ton of geeky stuff, but it really is very witty, up to date, and you can always learn something new on each episode! Of course, if you already know everything that’s mentioned, erm, well, you geek.

Here’s the official “About” from CBS:

Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists, the kind of “beautiful minds” that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard’s roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow CalTech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities… including love.

Well so, here are some quotes to get you started:

Leonard: We need to widen our circle.
Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on myspace.
Leonard: Yes, and you’ve never met one of them.
Sheldon: That’s the beauty of it.

Penny: I’m a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.
Sheldon: Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun’s apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.
Penny: (puzzled) Participate in the what?

Sheldon: This car weighs, let’s say, 4,000 pounds. Now add 140 for me, 120 for you…
Penny: 120?!?
Sheldon: Oh, I’m sorry. Did I insult you? Is your body mass somehow tied into your self worth?

Howard: There are pitfalls, trust me, I know. When it comes to sexual harassment law I’m bit of a self taught expert.
Leonard: Look Howard if I were to ask Leslie Winkle out it would just be for dinner. I’m not gonna walk into the lab, ask her to strip naked and dance for me.
Howard: Oh, then you’re probably OK.

(Leonard as to he and Penny’s future)
Leonard: Our kids will be smart and beautiful.
Sheldon: Not to mention imaginary
(later)
Leonard: I’m a male, and she’s a female.
Sheldon: But not of the same species.

(Penny playing Halo for the first time)
Penny: Hey, if you guys need a fourth, I’ll play.
Leonard: Great idea!
Sheldon: Uh, no. The wheel was a great idea. Relativity was a great idea. This is a notion, and a rather sucky one at that.
Penny: Why?!
Sheldon: Why? Oho, Penny, Penny, Penny.
Penny: Oho, what, what, what?
Sheldon: (as Penny picks up the controller) This is a complex battle simulation with a steep learning curve. There are a myriad of weapons, vehicles, and strategies to master, and not to mention an extremely intricate back story.
Penny: (explosion from the TV) Oh, cool! Whose head did I just blow off?
Sheldon: Mine.

Sheldon: I don’t know how, but she is cheating! Nobody can be that attractive and this good at a videogame.

So I got to learn about this variant on rock paper scissors while watching the show. You gotta watch sheldon when says the lines, it’s hilarious I tell you.

Generally, when you know someone well enough, 75-80% of any Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) games you play with that person ends up in a tie. Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard (RPSSL) is a slight variation that reduces that probability.

You have to say it all in one breath with the hand signs to have the effect when you’re explaining the rules of the game. *geeky snigger*

Scissors cuts Paper
Paper covers Rock
Rock crushes Lizard
Lizard poisons Spock
Spock smashes Scissors
Scissors decapitates Lizard
Lizard eats Paper
Paper disproves Spock
Spock vaporizes Rock,
And finally Rock crushes Scissors

RPS!

So anyway, I have been called a thief, a selfish coder and some other nasty names all in this whole translation adventure. I estimate probably like 95% the community doesn’t care, and the other 5% hates my guts for the things that I didn’t do.

I suppose most people will be angry at this, especially since I can smell my effort there but I’m not rightfully credited, but as they say, easy come easy go, what can you expect from about a week’s of work? : D~

Anyway, there will not be an english patch or a link to the english patch here, and since I’m not in the soc team anymore, so don’t ask me for it. I don’t think there will be any more monster hunter related posts until I get a copy of MH3 on the wii.

BANGKOK (Reuters) – The producer of a sexy Thai soap opera about young air hostesses promised longer skirts and fewer catfights Tuesday after real flight attendants complained the show was sexist and should be yanked from the airwaves.

The makers of “The War of Angels,” which portrays stewardesses fighting for the attention of male pilots at a fictional airline, apologized to staff at national carrier Thai Airways who said the show was demeaning.

“There won’t be any more catfight scenes between flight attendants while they are on duty or in uniform in public,” Takonkiet Viravan, managing director of production house Exact, told a packed news conference.

“The skirts our actresses wear are not shorter than those worn by hostesses at other international airlines. But we will make our skirts longer,” he said.

Airline staffers had complained that the fictional flight attendants wore a too-revealing skirt cut above the knee with a front slit.

The airline’s union complained to the Culture Ministry on Tuesday that the prime time show, which has a PG-13 rating, insulted its members and demanded the show be dropped from an army-run television channel.

“Such distortions could mislead society, especially youths, to misunderstand or hate people in this profession in every airline, including Thai Airways,” acting union president Somsak Srinual said in a statement.

Ministry officials said they had no authority to force the producer or the television channel to scrap the show, but would bring all sides to a Friday meeting to resolve the dispute.

Exact said it was willing to talk to the union, but pulling the show would violate “the rights of television producers.”

“This soap opera does not encourage people to have an affair. Our message is — faithfulness to your partner will help the family survive,” director Nipon Pewnane told reporters.

This article of raises a few questions. Soap operas are called soap operas because they are soap operas, it’s not a documentary about airlines and crew. Why are they called hostesses instead of flight attendants or air stewardresses? And if it’s not true, why should anyone be angry?

You don’t see anyone being angry because Phua Chu Kang portrays a realistic contractor.

All in all, I want short skirts.

That’s why I’m playing monster hunter nowadays, it gives me the competitive edge whenever I see an idiot trying to cut my queue when I’m cutting other people’s queue. You know those people who always stand like ten meters in front of you and trying to flag a cab while pretending that you weren’t there first? Apparently they think they’ve mastered the skill of selective invisibility like me. I mean like come on! The least they could do is to have the decency and common sense to walk further away then pretend not to see you. It’s bad enough they think they’re blind, but now they’re treating you like a blind idiot. How can anyone not fume?

How can they be so sure that i won’t just walk over and cook up a story saying that I was in the elite queue cutting queue for the past 10 minutes. (It won’t seem to elite if you actually cut a queue to wait for anything for more than 15 minutes, so 10 is a safe number)

Having common sense helps tremendously, this is where online gaming actually helps. ie. choke points. The common explanation for this would be, the main passage whereby all your zerglings, orcs, moogles, oh-so-cute-maplestory-character will have to pass through.

Usually it’s in the form of a small opening, think of it like a hole in the fence which prevents you from jaywalking. If you were a cop, where would you be? Obviously having doughnuts under the bridge while being able to see the hole in the fence so you can catch those lousy stinking jaywalkers right.

My last self made image post was pretty well recieved, so that’s why this one is also an illustrated post.

• The transparent circular zone is my comfort zone to get a cab, there’s not much point to tire yourself out if you’re going to take a cab right.
• The black zones are the “would be” hotspots for taking cabs.
• The points of interests are actually the green ones.

Usually I would just stand outside the road, but if there are any idiots, I’ll flank over and lay an ambush for the cab at the dark green parts. As Newton would agree, what goes up must come down, and whatever goes in must come out. Unless, it lives there.

It has a 100% capture rate, within 15 minutes under the sheltered walkway. The next time I come back, I shall talk about taxi hunting at orchard. Stay tuned!

Mr Yang – WK >> I think it’s time to change bed liao
BN >> why leh?
BN >> i dont think i ever complain leh
Mr Yang – WK >> I complain ah not you
BN >> orr coz all these yrs it has been fine by me
Mr Yang – WK >> : \
BN >> =\

Our next set of conversation carried on another day. As I most of you know, I usually start a conversation with a smile.

Mr Yang >> : D
BN >>
BN >> r u trying to seduce me?
Mr Yang – WK >> Yes
Mr Yang – WK >> It’s not really my fault that a simple smile of mine always sparks of interest in another party, therefore, I am, guilty as charged.
BN >> you see the lockup over there?
BN >> here’s the key. pls kindly enrol yourself inside.
Mr Yang – WK >> I see. Police and thief eh, how engaging.
BN >> yes except u have to engage w urself only
Mr Yang – WK >> I figure that I must be quite smart to be able to come up with something like this one the spot.
Mr Yang – WK >> For kenny’s case it’s because he always thinks of such things.
BN >> u and keni r gross!!!
Mr Yang – WK >> Why, thanky ou
BN >> ……

So really, it’s not my fault that all conversations end up like this.

House finds out that Cuddy went to a play.

The conversation at the cafeteria went like this:
H: You’re trying to have sex with Cuddy.
W: Fries?
H: You took her to a play, you only take women to play because….
W: No, you only take women to plays for that reason, that’s your theory.
H: Ok, then why did you take her to a play?
W: She’s a friend.
H: Friend.
W: It is possible to have a friend of the opposite sex.
H: *Interrupts* blasphemer!
W: Yes I slept with her.
H: Seriously?
W: No.
H: Yes you did!
W: Yes I did.
H: Seriously?
W: No.
W: You got a problem House.

House sends flowers to Wilson in Cuddy’s name.

The whole thing is freaking funny. All the way till the end.
