So we have hyperminimalism in the visual arts and architecture (pretty much thanks to the modernists and Kasimir Malevich for starting Suprematism), but have you heard of hyperminimalist writing?
I first came across this idea from Unpublished Guy’s blog. His blog is:
“Something happened. A man with glasses was involved.”
So what about that?
The idea is to dip and dap into the ideas that you’re presenting, then leave everything else for the reader to fill in the blanks. As our Unpublished Guy puts it, “Minimalism leaves the reader to take an active role in the creation of the story by filling in the blanks left by the author’s spare prose.”
So lets see what kind of interesting ideas can we get from here? ;)

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!

An entry on Reddit.com claims,
“A single sperm has 37.5MB of DNA information in it. That means that a normal ejaculation represents a data transfer of 1,587.5TB.”
Very surprising, isn’t it? And what’s even funnier are the replies!
I couldn’t resist, I just have to share!

Fellow blogger Eric Lee was talking about cursing and its effects such as stress relieve, express emotions or even increasing friendliness. Well I loved his post, totally! It is pretty comprehensive, go and read it if you have the time!
One thing I noticed though is that when we Malaysian swear, we automatically add in Cantonese or sometimes Chinese swear words, because apparently English swear words are just not enough.
Fuck is the most common swear word we use in English, and I think it should be the most vulgar. After all it is the most censored word in all western media. But in Cantonese there are so much other variations, “Diu”, “Hai”, “Gao”, “Chat”, “Lan” to name a few. Combine all of them and you can make endless overkill variations.
So, what the fuck, come and lets explore all the fucking words we can find!

Who says dogs can’t drive??! These pictures are living proofs that dogs can drive!
In fact, our men’s-best-friend drivers are exactly just like the drivers you see around you!
Here’s the bimbo that pays more attention to her cosmetics than the road, and here’s the crazy speeding driver that we curse every day.
Have a peek! Then tell me, what kind of a driver are you? Do you know anyone around you that are just like our doggie drivers here? ;)
