How great if all life is perfect

Hey peeps
i am down in penang for the weekend after a very ermm..... "interesting" orientation week.
Just doing my job as a grandson visitng my grandma while taking advantage of at least having some good home cooked food (omg in an Indian uni, u get Indian food not theres any problem but stop the flood of curry and spices). Its nice being someplace u can call as a second home. the only annoyance get from here is from my cousins. sigh the pain i tell u....
Well only 2 out of 3 total... irritants.The main subject i want to talk about is having to do with my 2nd cousin. Unfortunately in his case, due to abnormal genetic outcome he was born with down syndrome. To many it is a pity but after awhile we learn to except a flaw makes what everyone special heres a pic of him and me playing with my webcamHe maybe slow in learning but he is so great to make one cheer up.Watching him and observing him i feel that he is more normal than any other person but he picks up speaking very slow.thank god that my aunty and uncle has signed him up for speech classes and for the pass year he has picked up a few words.I always admired him for making up for him flaws in assisting others.I have heard many great stories about him when i am not in penang from my sister like he knows how to help my grandma to carry stuff frim the market. sigh... As someone wrote life is what you make of it and let this be and inspiration for all.

New Tv Shows!!

It is been awhile since i talked about Tv shows excluding American Idol. There have been some which got my attention
1. 1st up on the list is a medical drama entitled "Mental"


This show attracted me because it kind of rekindled my passion for psychology or more precise psychiatry. Its about Doctor Jack Gallagher is a compulsive man who has taken a position as the director of a psychiatric hospital in L.A. to be in the same city as his twin sister. Fascinated with the power of the human brain since he was a child, Jack is psychiatrist with unorthodox treatments and slightly unusual methods for the sake of his patients mental health.Here's a clip how "unorthodox" he is


What Doctor would be buck naked with a patient? I know i wont.



2. "Drop Dead Diva" is next and people who love chick flicks are happy-go-lucky comedy
This will really tickle your funny bone. A ton of bimbotic dumb blond character and a slap of fats at the side u get the main character. The whole story is Debbie a inspired model dies after a accident and when to heaven but during her period in heaven she kinda screwed up the system and she was placed inside a smart fat lawyers body (Jane). So now she has live as Jane but the interesting smart she became smart! How weird so, when we die our intelligence don't go away with us?Lets just leave that as it is...


Laugh yourselves up with a hefty heart




3. The next one is another medical drama but like all networks they needed something out of the "Grey's Anatomy" and "ER" zone. So, they came up with Royal Pains.
This Drama revolves around Hank an ER Doctor until one day he got fired for letting his hospital trustee die. So his Bro took him to the Hamptons. During his stay he save a life and yada yada he got a job and now he has a 2nd chance what he likes
doing best.



There's more shows out but i don think they will last and some are quite dull.til then :)

my fav song from kacko during his years in the jackson 5

No Boundaries

Hey People!! American Idol Frenzy is about to subside so as one of the last few post about American Idol this year i would like to compare the Winning Single - "No Boundaries"
After hearing the winning single, all i can say its....okay. At least now theres a quicker tempo and more contemperary coronation song. Okay heres the deal both of them came out with the single.To me i like Kris' version better because it seem less edited than Adam's.Here's Kris


Okay how to have comparison without Adam's one rite...?

Dont you think it sounds not very adam... even his shouting is brought a note down
I have to comment Kris dun really take a great profile pic....And the backdrop of this pic really sucks. like my passport photo with a black background and a spot light on it....

From Nobody to Somebody

At 9.55am today, Kris Allen became the American Idol of season 8... So AWESOME!!
From the previous post, I have already talked about Kris the shy one...
Bloody Hell!! Jason MRaz was on and i was still in BED T_T
Anyway, it was one hell of a finale. Better then most years. Lots of cool gigs like Jason MRAZ!! ,Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas and more...
Oh yea tlaking bout the finale... i kinda dont fancy the winning single this year. As Somin said "i Don't really want to comment about the song its just the mountains the tornados....ugh"[The only reason is he didnt wanna hurt Kara sitting 1 paula abdul away. If it was anyone else it would be slaughter and thrown to the trash].Well.. they say its coming out on 22nd May only in America time so it would be 12 hour more for us....too whom has it already pls send it to me

I Am So "Glee"

Glee definition emotion of happiness
But i ain't gonna talk bout plain old happiness. I am talking bout the new hit musical series!!


It was on after American Idol on Fox Network and it was awesome!!
Here's the scoop. It's about a group of vocally talented outcasts coming together to perform as a "Glee!". Well.. as you know not all of them were outcasts. There's always the jock shying away his singing talent in the bathroom.And there is the girl who dreamt all her life to be a super star.. i know i know somehow pretty cliche` isn't it.Well, she kinda reminds me of.....



But never mind here's a group pic of the casts U may find some familiar faces in there
the photo is a little creepy they are smiling a little too much[like me] but i suppose it embodies the meaning of the title...Of course theres always the bee-aaatchee famous girl trying to ruin the club, the friend of jock who doesnt understands, and the struggling teacher who motivates everyone except himself...i am not to worries if they have a scandal soon...>.>
Okay!! time for more positive notes about to the show. It is really funny and the tunes are very good. i was blown away by the performance a group did. and i totally hate Amy Winehouse and her No No Nos in Rehab Watch it!

On a bigger note these kids can sing!! so much better having Zac Efron monotoning some tunes...Here's another one by the cast of Glee ;"Dont Stop Believing"

Well at least now i got a show to watch during the season

Elliot Yamin Back with his new Album

So Awesome...

Holy CRAP! He made it!!

If u guys dont know who i am talking about then forget it...
Anyway i am talking about Kris Allen of American Idol woohoo!![so sorry to Gokey fans]
He has made it to the final 2 with screechy badass Adam Lambert[sorry to Lambertians too]
Sincerely hope he wins this the whole way... so that Adam can start singing in a lower key.....he gives me a real headache....but u know la because he is so unique, americans get con into the hype by the judges.
Back to Kris. He sure made it so far from being a nobody in that show to a somebody. He caught my attention when he first perform "Man in the Mirror" during the Top 36 rounds. He gained more confidence when he performed "To make You Feel My Love" during country week.[My Favourite!!] Here's the song


Well, during the movie tie-in week he sang "Falling Slowly" the oscar winning song form the movie "ONCE" It was totally awesome although it was slow and to some quite simple.


Just love that song even better then the original because the original has a little Scottish slang.During the following week [if i am right], he sang Ain't no Sunshine
Woah its so dark and mind blowing.It sounds so contemporary and it has that soft rock edge to it


Fighting for his life yesterday he did a even better than the original singer performance.I personally hate Kanye West. His "Heartless" had the originality of a star. Although i may be over exaggerating because The Fray also did an acoustic rendition.i am totally at awe woohoo.Sorry for now still don't have the studio version so lets hope it comes out soon.
Any way next week is the FINALE
ADAM vs KRIS
who will take the crown find out next week and i am taking off on that day .Boss if you are reading my blog i do not care give me a off day!!!

Updates on Random stuff, I Guess

I really want to update my gradually dying blog but it hits a dead end
So i just blog about random stuff

Randomness number 1#
Yes, i am still working at Starbucks.
And no i dun supply u guys free drinks
But there's a Board game Day this SATURDAY, 21ST MARCH everyone's invited!!
I will be facilitating a Game called CITADELS its really fun please come join me i really need 7 players to enjoy maximum fun!!

Randomness number 2#
I never thought printing documents in a shop could cost so much....
Anyway i needed to print my LEO Forum forms so i decided to get it done outside becoz my computer is a little haywire refer to next randomness 3# So theres a printing shop in my work place and i asked how much to print a black and white document. the girl replied RM1.50 per page...WTH

Randomness number 3#
My computer is on the verge of dying... i am not sure what caused it. whether its my downloads or my dads over usage. but my computer has LOL 378 trojans affecting it!!!

Randomness number 4#
I had a sudden urge to read literature texts so i bought one entitled The Mayor of Casterbridge
As i open and read the 1st few pages i discovers around 25-40 words i did not understand completely.... how sucky is mah englisssssss.....

Randomness number 5#
AMERICAN IDOL okay... lets just say the cards are turningover a little. To predict the finalists
is been a tough one this season but just an advice never listen to Paula shes like a borken compass with no exact direction but no offense she sometimes hit the nail on the head.
Somehow i dun really wanna like DANNY GOKEY anymore..i feel hes one of the contestants that is over glorified.So thats one of the reasons y i like Matt Giraud more or even Kris Allen for the matter of fact and whats with this christian church controversy created because my Gokey sang a gospel on Country week. There's like another 4-5 more contestant also sing in churches
Matt Giraud, The Duelling pianist(whatever it is) he plays the piano so well theres no doubt Watch So Small sang by him on Country Week




OKay.... its time to send this old junk for reformatting T_T

Another Jason In Town

Woot U all Probably know who i mean!!
Mraz Man! He's so awesome. Great stage showmanship Woohoo!!!
but too bad he didnt sing all of his older songs. But his band was really rocking out the show
especially the one on the saxophone Heres one of my fav pic i got on him
The lighting was just where i wanted him LOL. After watching him LIVE, it is good to say he does not lip-sing because he sings where the melody is right to him with rifts , twist and turns making every performance different than the others.

Somehow he plays the guitar in a weird position.Jamming With His Band

Although it was weird with all the girls shouting "we love u Jason" there were still chatter around A girl went " Hey i bet theres another Jaosn Around Lets Shout Mraz We LOve U!!. LoL so true...Anyhow I got to say he is quite a good dancer very salsa-ish and he connects with the audience thats what make him so cool.Before i go, lemme just post a video i found although the video isnt great the audio is clear Here's THE REMEDY in KL

Personality Test

This is an interesting Personality test but very accurate
why dont have a go?
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

How Do Guys Practice on Break-ups

Due to the valentine season, i have just decided on posting this up.

Well, we all know that it's sometimes tough to tell bad news to one because of that it is we instead who get hurt. Well lets just scroll odwn to some typical break-up lines which people start with.


1.We need to talk.
2.It's not your fault. It's me.
3.I've lied.
4.Do you remember when I’ve said everything is alright?
5.You are like a sister/brother to me.
6.I think we would be better off friends.
7.I don't love you any more.
8.Do you really want to know why I go out to dinner with my assistant?
9.Have you always been so boring?
10.Give me back my keys.



O-yea anf theres also the phone break up. abd its the worse of them all. Would you believe/accept the other texted you a break-up messege?? Here's a clip how guys practice on break-ups

To those who aren't great in the break-up department, here are some pointers on the subject.

Break Up Rules
Do not avoid the subject. It's best to get it over with as soon as possible. The longer you wait the harder it will get.

Remain calm.
You don't want to stir up mixed emotions or send mixed signals. It could only make it worse.

Talk about it.
It's always best to state your opinion on why you want to break up. This is so your 'someone' (soon to be ex.) will not question it and think there may still be something between you.

Try not to blame each other.
it only makes things worse and may cause aggressiveness.

It's always best to do it in person,
unless of course this person is abusive by any means. Then it's best to either call or write a letter, even better, have a friend tell the person. It's a horrible way to break up, but if it's a last resort, do it.

After the break up, do not go back
- no matter what. You broke up for a reason, remember it. You might think this person has changed, but they truly haven't. People do not change over short periods –- no matter how convincing that person might be.

Starting the Year Of The OX with a Loss

Sheeesh as sucky as it sound things are not as bad as it sounds
It was the day known as yesterday aka Friday i was on the railway station filled with people bustling their way to work. As i stepped into the train i wondered how could i do this as a routine... and i set a reminder to myself to never get a job in KL... Its so freaking pack!! I cant barely feel my feet at time squishing between mountains of people. But... i took my time n prayed in my heart " Thank God i am "BIG" and tall LOL" So, the journey took 20 minutes to KL Sentral and i had to switch to the Monorail to get to Berjaya Time Square which took about 15 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to wait in line... The minutes of waiting gives u tim to explore our surroundings as i could see amazing and eccentric outfits which spells "L.A.L.A." all around me. And i look at myself n thought " i feel out of place but lucky there were the norms aka working class people also on board the train. As i reached the mall i took out my phone and read the details of sms about the office " Starbucks Office 10th floor". Iwent to the elevator and saw read " this elevator onli takes u to floor 2,4,5,6,7,9,11,14,15" So i thought aiya press la go 9th floor then go up 1 more floor.Then ,WTH whats with the dumb elevator... Why u may ask i cursed... Its not even on or working... Firstly i tot i wanted to climb 10 floors of not running escalators but i was like Jason dun be crazy u cant even run 15 m without panting... I went to option 3 Go to the Starbucks cafe on Ground floor and ask them. So i got down and asked before even entering i saw another elevator which travels to floor 10 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ting*
I reached the 10th floor and found out its filled with food court stalls... "Are you sure its the 10th floor" i asked my phone... So my feet and eyes was force to go round and round til i finally found
a green siren with a green circle.So 1st day of training started i guess at that very point. First Lesson " HIstory of Starbucks" Groan~ malasnya... and on and on it went tilmy brain couldnt stuff no more.So what people may ask whats the loss about going to training? Its not about the training? Its about what happen on the training without the -ing Get it? Ok fine I got pickpocketed my phone's gone. The End....GGGGRRRRRR Stupid arse who stole my phone Curse him!!!

Weekly Update

HoHo Hey everyone!

As many may know i have started my job!! Yes Jason isnt being a pig as he usually is at home

So i have completed my first four days of work at ...

Starbucks

All work was fine until a partner of mine told me there's a rumour about Starbucks funding the Israelis militants against Gaza. So, after hearing this story i felt a little sick to my stomach and tried to find out about stuff a little more. After asking and looking all over the place, i came to a conclusion that it is just a rumour and there was nothing to panic about because i dont think the company to fund a unnecessary war and because of this incident Starbucks stocks have crashed down to the bottom and 2/3 of outlets in Australia have been shut down due to these rumours. Well, if this rumour happen to be true i don't think i have a mood to work in a company which support stupid violence because they cant agree on some religion thingy.so Whatever...

On the bright side American Idol Season 8 Is Back!!!

Interview NIGHTMARE

Stupidity strikes again!
Say What?!
Stoooooo-peee-deee-teeee Strrr-yyyykke-ssss aaaaa-gaaiiin!!!

Well the day went on fine til i got a call " Hi Jason, u applied a job as a part time Barista in Starbucks Tropicana Mall Can u make it to the interview today at 6"
And so the story begins. I was there before 6 and i joined the other Baristas on a Coffee tasting Session. Todays coffee was a Kenyan Brew. I never knew that coffee taste other than bitter or sweet. This tasted soury or they say citrusy because of its grapefruitty flavour and after that the nightmare started
So, the title says pretty much the scenario of the case. It was going quite smoothly.Okay maybe not smoothly, quite a lot of bumps as i kinda got stuck in a few questions.
Brain fluidity score = 3 1/2 out of 10
It was all normal questions pretty much
Example 1 Why did u pick Starbucks?
Example 2 Why do u think i should hire u?

and then he asked "Why do u wanna work here?"
Answer : Tomorrow
OMG! TOOOOMMMMOOORRROOOOW???!!!
When i said that i imagine myself falling of a 40 floor building screaming
TTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO-MMMOOOOOOOOOOO-ROOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

SPLAAAAT!!! or maybe for my size BOOOM!!

So then later on i tried to redeem explain the meaning of tomorrow to him in the most bizarre ways.Like i need this job to live another day... I felt a stamp on my forehead
"SUICIDAL"

Okay... enough of that then later on he asked me if i had a best friend. I said i have one. He asked if i would call him/her right now "What do u think he/she would say about u?"
The first answer came up my mind "LAME" and babbled it out. I felt another stamp on my head
"LOSER"
Then I said she might say i am funny sweet hardworking kind and .......... pooof ideas off
Then he asked me "Is that all you could think of "and........OMG DIE!!

Yes, as the question went on and on i was loosing my calm Then finally he said at the midpoint Jason, honestly speaking your not doing very well in the interview
Mind visualisation*: A grandfather clock ringing "DONG! DONG! Dong! and of course everything was dark and moody Anime moment of sorrows squatting in the corner wiping the floor with my finger and both stamps " Suicidal Loser" on my forehead. And in my heart everything went south at that moment.

Then he asked me do you know anyone who works in Starbucks?
I said yes , William Ng and Goh Pui Yen
Oww... Are you close with them? Ermm not really maybe hang out a little but not close
How did you know them from? My club activities
Then he blurted out " Did you know that William Ng was under me and he couldn't stand the pressure?" No....
Yea know i am telling you and he's not a good worker and i am having doubts that U will be like him. Because a lot of DJ students cant handle the pressure.
In my Application form i wrote i was from DJ school and
The Mentality Score: 2 out of 10

Dear fellow class/schoolmates please do not hate me but I have to agree with the guy our school authorities in DJ is not a character building school. Its so focused on Academics. Yes i try to compare my experience of Taman SEa and DJ just to make some small talk. Then, i said i have handled some problematic people before. The he interrupted we call them Clowns. William, sorry but i heard some bad comments about u as the interview went on.Oh right, then names like Tan Yi Ming and another person popped out too Craaaappp....

Then came the what if / situation quesitons and o gawd i suck at those
So 1st, What if u had a emo customer and tells u why are u so slow
Answer : i will apologize and blablablabla
Verdict: So ur gonna talk and delay service even further...
Failed
2nd question What if you had a internal conflict with a co-worker and how would u deal with it
Answer: i said i am very patient if he starts to affect my work i have to report it a higher authority
Verdict: Okay
i think it passed
Then next was what can u do to make costumers come back?
Answer: . . . . . . . . . i stared at a costumer and an idea popped I would maybe go up to them when they have finish their drink/food and ask if they would like to have something else
Verdict: . . . . . What else
Dush** and so the mind goes wondering yet again

So, finally the grueling one on one ended and he asked if i had any questions
I asked him some questions about what time work starts How long is working hours What else is needed to do I was kinda shy to ask about the salary thing so i just kept to myself i don't like to give a impression that i am in for da dough. Then i asked if the tasting session is a daily thing he said yes it is a learning lesson where we teach our workers on the product and we would have to study 4 guides/manuals when we work. I was very impressed actually, u know as a total newbie in coffee industry. i didn't imagine coffee could be like Wine tasting

Errr.... Speechless....

Sometimes the way to deal with problems is to solve them with silly joy and laughter but it must also be eye opening so that the message goes through. I stumbled upon a very funny video on Tv yesterday starring Jack Black and many more. The vid is about the current news on Gay Marriage in the state of California. This hilarious musical video is about the religious Vs the of course gay and young people

"Prop 8 - The Musical" starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more... by Jack Black

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Who would have thought, we would see Mr. Pitt playing an old man on clutches which was turning younger as years passed-by ,how Cate Blanchett is in love with a baby and a giant clock ticking backwards.

Well, the story takes place in the time after the 1st World War where an orphanage suddenly receives an elderly looking baby with wrinkled skin wrapped by a cloth. And so, the curiosity of fellow cast members starts to arise. As most Bio students know that the pituitary gland is the place where growth/aging hormones are produced maybe that's why he's growing that way hmmm.....As the stories goes on, he meets several people taking care of him and telling him the meaning of life and love. And yes, he meets the girl of his life, Cate Blanchett who is an aspiring ballet dancer and the story develops up the whole movie and finally he left her alone with their newborn child. When finally he did he popped out,he has turned to be a 18-20+ year old teen and she was in her 50's with a new man and their daughter was already 12. It's amazing how make up can make u look 12years younger[Brad]and12years older[Cate].And the years passed by, leaving her older and him younger til one day he reached an age of 14-15 where he could'nt remember her or his past. Weird, how the young could also get alzheimers disease. Living in a life of confusion, he grew younger n younger til he died as a toddler...

So thats almost the whole story i dun really want to spoil everything, so i would say this is a really unique storyline and it was great performance by the duo. Rather slow but very inspiring. O-yea this movie is up for award nominations ,so maybe this year we could see Brad or Cate lift another oscar trophy
