Easter Special Rainnnnnnnnnn

Happy Easter, for all of you who haven know, I have always been a fan of American talkshows. Which of course 98.05% of my fellow Malaysian don't even care about watching. That's probably because all their head could ever contain are Transformer, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Porn, NTV7 and Astro. But what I have below here is so exceptional you can't even find them on youtube.

If you are familiar with the cartoon "Southpark", then you must know comedy central, because comedy central is the network that produces it. It also produces popular talkshows like "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" which I embedded.

A Simple Explaination To The Current Economy Crisis

Everybody on the street is talking about bad economy. But less than half of them really understand what causes it. And today, with some stolen knowledge from youtube and my friends, I am going to prove to you how someone can learn a lot with the internet.


In layman's term:


First of all you should understand that the US is one of the biggest customer in the world. It created a lot of business opportunities for other countries when it buys things from them. So one day, the US economy decided that it is going to collapse and in return, all the other countries lost this valuable customer. So they too collapsed.


So the better question here now is "What the hell happened to the US economy?"


The story began like this, many years ago, when people got married and wanted to start a family. The first thing they wanted was to buy a house. But most of them did not have enough money to buy, so they had to take a loan from the banks. So the banks lent them the money and charged them interest, if they however fail to repay their loans and interest, the banks will take away their home and resell it. As the prices of houses were always increasing, this sounded like a perfectly nice idea.


When everything were going just nice, the banks decided that they wanted to make even more money through loans or better known as mortgages. So they hired professional people like me to give them ideas. One day, I suggested to them "HEY, WHY DON'T WE ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO LOAN MONEY FROM US, THAT WILL INCREASE OUR PROFIT!" My boss replied "AND HOW THE F@#K ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT?". And I replied "WE CAN MAKE LOANING MONEY EASIER, WE SET LOWER CONDITIONS LIKE NO NEED DOWN PAYMENT, NO NEED GUARANTOR, NO NEED PROOFS OF INCOME AND ETC!". My boss heard it and decided that it was a good idea. He then did accordingly to what I suggested and rewarded me with a 500 million paycheck so that I may live happily ever after.


So when the bank started to loan money to just anybody regardless whether they can pay back or not. It turned out that some of them really could not pay back. So what the banks did were they took the houses of those who couldn't pay back their loans for resell. At first it was okay, but many years later in 2008. More and more people were not able to pay back their loans. So what happened was that the banks got more and more houses for resell. So much so that the houses they had exceeded the demand of the market. They had too many houses but too little buyers and the houses would not sell. When that happened. . . . the unseen time bomb suddenly went BOOM! The prices of the houses started to fall sharply. For example a house that used to cost 300,000 is now worth let's say 75,000.


To make matters even worst, when the prices of houses started to fall, the good people who were regularly paying their loans to the banks started to wonder if it is still worth it they pay the bank so much interest. Since their house now has such a low resell value, if they don't pay the bank back, they can easily buy another house with the money they have." So finally they decided to abandon their houses.


This brings us to a situation where the banks are having a loooooooooooot of houses with no resell value. And to make the worsen situation even f#@king worst, the money they lent to the public at the first place were actually money they borrowed from multiple investors. So now you see a chain reaction between "people who don't pay their loans", "the bankers" and "the investors who invested money into the banks". In this situation, the money flow started to freeze immediately and there were only shit left. So in this difficult time, they once again turned their backs to consult professional people like me and asked for my advice. After a lot of thinking, I've decided to advise them the best way out of this mess -------- Go Bankrupt! And that was the day you heard the Lehman Brothers closed shop. Welcome to the Economy Crisis. The United States is still in a 15000,000,000,000 debt. That is 15 trillion.


To understand the whole situation in a more detail picture, these are the best:

Save The Chicken, Save The World

To start off today's crap, I was snapping my finger this morning when a mosquito flew by. Unwisely the mosquito flew in between my thumb and finger so it died literally in a snap.





Now the picture don't have to be that disgusting if you would think like me "I eat chicken everyday, I eat chicken everyday, I don't have to sympathize insects". Once you get that in your head, come to me and I'll teach you the next level called "I can step on ants". With all due respect to religion, I think cutting your own meat to feed an eagle is stupid, and I think eating vegetables for the sake of not killing animals is equally insane. I'll support ya if you say eat more vegetables is to good health, but eat more vegetables to preserve animals is like buying a Proton to preserve Porches. It doesn't make sense. Chicken is poultry, you don't save them, they just don't contribute to earth.





I like how gelato looks like when they are in the fridge. You can't make ice more appealing then making them look like lava flowing out of a volcano.




And I'll actually like it more if they don't charge me Rm8.90 for a cup.


Talking about what I like, I have to give Klang's bak kut teh two tumbs up. And when I say Klang, I mean the real place. Not some "Klang's Bak Kut Teh" you get in Johor or Kuching. If you want something at its best, you got to dig to its origin.






Now you see




Now you don't. It's the only magic I can perform. Finish up food unbelievably fast.


I am not so much a fanatic blogger that I would bring a camera and take pictures wherever I go. I don't do that because you lose class and it's annoying to people around you when you do that too often. "Oh that's my coffee, let's snap a picture, oh that's your coffee, let's snap a picture too, oh look at his coffee, let's take a picture again!" So there was this time, I was eating this super dark coloured Hokkien Mee and it didn't occur to me that it is interesting until half-way. So I snapped a picture of it. And it looked exactly....





....like a very scary plate of worms.



Oh and before I forget...... with the power vested upon me by the constitution of Malaysia, I would like to pronounce Datuk Seri Najib our New Prime Minister!

My Confession

On this fateful day, I would like to take the opportunity to confess to all my friends that I am gay. Ever since the age of 11, I have a growing interest towards boys rather than girls. For many years I have tried to shake it away yet to no avail. I struggled a lot mentally and exhausted every option to change myself. I don't like it. If you think that I enjoy being what I am, you are wrong. I don't like it I hate it. And if there is something I can do to change, I would have traded anything to do that. It is not as simple as it is. You will never understand the struggle I've been through. And no one will understand it, unless he has similar experience.



I know how this society view people like me. They see us like animals, and some treat us the same. I decided that the only way for me to get this out of my mind is through my blog as it has been troubling me for a long time. To straighten out my stand, I will not fight for gay rights, I will not support gay marriage and I will not engage in any homosexual activities. Just as I will not discriminate gay people. I will not treat them like animals, and I will not condemn them.


I did not choose this path. I wasn't given a choice. It's not fair and may the heavens forgive me.





Signed by: Andrew Ho,

This is an April Fool's message, written in advance and published one day in advance to surprise the shit out of you. Happy April's Fool. And stop bashing gay people. I enjoy teenage lesbian porn very much. You stop that and I'll burn your house, kill your pet and dig the graves of your ancestor.

There are Moral Absolutes

Super Short Talk: Some call it a public stunt. Some call it a good awareness event. Either way I think it is just better than none. Maybe this is a good day to sit down and watch Al Gore's "The Inconvenient Truth" or a very bad disaster movie. It's really up to you. But I care for the environment, I do, you know, I have always like tigers, giraffe and the circus. So I guess it's good we do something to preserve them as we preserve ourselves.


"Moral absolute" is a branch of ethics that view certain actions as absolutely right or wrong, regardless of the situation. For example "lying" in view of moral absolute is always wrong. Even if you are lying to promote some other good. As for me, my character has always reflect me as one of those who believes in moral absolute.


Unfortunately in life there are plenty of situations where this rule does not apply very well. But for as long as I can take it, I will always try to do the right thing. Today our society has been depressed by all kinds of cultures and ideas thanks to the television and the Internet. If there were one thing we struggle to find more than anything else in time, it will be an identity. For certain I admire the western culture on their democracy, on their vision for achievement. But to compare the ratio of crap cultures they throw in in exchange for what is good, it is really not worth the trade.


Just so you know "the society" is not something abstract you refer to in a composition, the society is where we live in. It is the things and people around us. It is every heartbeat that follows.


If your father who has 1.5 million ringgit in cash, 3 houses, 2 apartments and an empty detached plot (no house built on it just the land) has cancer. He is dying and decided to give you 1 apartment of his only, whereby the rest is to be given all to your elder brother whom he favour more. Should you or should you not be taking care of him in his last 3 months of life?


There is a moral absolute we all believe in. I just hope that someday somehow, we would all take a little more courage to live it out. And live it out loud.





This man is gonna be your Prime Minister so soon, you would have wished this life is just a dream



THE END




Behind The Scene, The Making Of What You Read


Okay the post has ended, and I know it wouldn't be a popular one. And Malaysians in general wouldn't understand or appreciate this sort of writings for the next 50 years or so. But ladies and germs, do you know one of the most important department in the White House is the Communications Department? Communications Department is the office that writes all the speeches for the President. And they put the most knowledgeable brilliant people inside.


To write something good, you have to make it simple, you want to write in a language that is very understandable. And you also want to write it in style. You want to make it sounds good, you want it to flow smoothly like a river, and towards the end of the river, you also anticipate the waterfall. So all the elements have to be inside.


To ensure that is a little bit more complicated than it seems. We will have to revise the language again and again to make sure it has got the spice right. For example you can say "I just hope that someday somehow, we would all take a little more courage to live it out" or "I just hope that we would all someday somehow take a little more courage to live it out". And the first one is better. Because it has a pause, a coma in between. It stresses the second sentence about the 'courage' better.


Writing good stuff is sometimes like answering a math question, you got one number wrong, you got it all wrong.
