Have you ever met people who complains about how his BMW is not going pretty smooth lately when running at 150KM/H?
While you’re driving a 10 years old second hand Proton Saga?
The scenario isn’t exactly the same, but I have met people who loves to talk, complain, or if you want to put it nicely, share about their materialistic well-beings with people who have far worse scenarios than them.
It may seem like you’re sharing your stuffs with me to you, buddy, but in my ears it only sounds like you’re bragging.
It’s unlikely for rants to appear on this blog, but well I’ll make an exception this time. Take your brags to somewhere else for f**k’s sake, it’s pissing me off!

Want some dramatic music for a boring day? Here’s some for you.

There are so much hype building on to the Christmas season. The whole world is talking about it, from the TVs to the ads to the radio to the Tweets and of course, all the blogs.
The hype builds itself like a bubble up since a month or two before Christmas, and it grows like a bubble going bigger and bigger.
And when Christmas finally came, POP, the bubble bursts in a day, and what’s left behind is party leftovers, unwrapped presents, an empty wallet, and to many, a void of loneliness and emptiness inside.
So that resulted in a lazy weekend, and even harder Monday blues, and if you’re really into Christmas, a sad month after recovering from the burnt wallet.
Like, ouch. What are we gonna do about it?

As a devoted Netizen we use emoticons everyday. Of course you use them too, right? It’s much more easier to just do a :) compared to doing *smiles* or D8< to doing *I’M GODDAMN ANGRY*.
Well I got kinda interested in the world of Emoticons, and as I dwell further into researching about it, the emoticon world is really far bigger than what we think!
There are probably hundreds of emoticons out there, and what we use is just like 3-5% of them!
Yup, the MSN or Yahoo emoticons aren’t just the only emoticons you can find. You can emote even better using your own keyboard!
So come in here to learn a little history about Emoticons, the difference between Western and Eastern Emoticons and have a look at the list of Emoticons around the world!
