Fortunately not my parents, YET. In the past months, the fastest growing age segment on Facebook has been >50. WTF? haha so that's pretty alarming.
My dad calls me on VOIP, read blogs, checks stock market & do a whole lot of stuff online. Mum books air tickets & hotels and uses Google maps online. And it'll just be a matter of time before they learn how to use Facebook (they're in their 50's too so the stats are justifying it)
But nevertheless, i got nothin to worry bout as im all grown up, dont fuck around no more, dont do shit but work everyday haha.
But you fuckers who are gonna hit your teens / youth in the next 5 - 10 years, you're in deep shit! haha. Your parents will be watching you on Facebook!
At the rate of how people are opening up their private lifes on Facebook, their parents are gonna find out when they're sleeping over their bf's place and how many different places in a year and how many tuition classes they miss because of that... bla bla bla
AND........ your parents will not only be watching you on Facebook! haha they might even engage your conversations with your friends ... be friends of your friends ... "engage" your friends? LOL... or use a sex / porn related FB application and trigger a news feed to all ur friends! haha
You really dont want your mates to start callin ur MOmma MILP! LOL
What's harder than trading Guinness for work? haha
Thanks to ShaolinTiger's Twitter feeds and the pictures he attached on Twitpic, i had a chance to catch a glimpse of what i badly missed - alot of Guinness and world master brewer - Fergal Murray - demonstrating how to pour a perfect pint of Guinness Draught.
Before working in the industry, beer is just beer to me - white or black, tiger or carlsberg. But you'll be amazed to find out that there's just so much behind every beer that you drink, especially a Guinness Draught.
There is so much heritage in the drink, let alone the skills required to pour a perfect pint of Guinness. The level of beer & foam is measured in meticulous precision, glass cleanliness is a factor too and there's a skill of designing a shamrock on your foam with the beer tap.
mmmmmmmmm Guinness, just writing about it makes me feel better of being absent. Here are the pictures i stole from ShaolinTiger.
When the world was battling the economical meltdown, Malaysia dwelled on a tree in Ipoh.
Now when the world is combatting the H1N1 or swine flu or whatever fuck you wanna call it epidemic, Malaysia debates on which terms to use in the media. H1NI? Swine flue? Does it make a fucking difference?
“We in the ministry will continue to use the easy-to-understand term. We will use the A(H1N1) terminology but for subsequent mentions, we will proceed with the term ‘swine flu’,” Rais Yatim told reporters after the launching of the “1Malaysia” logo by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak here.
And 1 Malaysia is another joke. SIGH. Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s concept of 1 Malaysia, disparaged so relentlessly by the opposition since its introduction, was distilled this morning into a cultural song-and-dance and this song is expected to be played regularly on all government television and radio stations.
Najib's trying to hypnotize us!
But dude, we got Astro & the web now... the new generation of ppl dont give a fuck about free to air TV no more dawg.... You're just waisting our tax money creating those unecessary bullshit to try and brainwash the nation.
d Italiannies was first opened in One Utama and as its name suggests, its a restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine. No doubt they've been cashing in over the years and have also reinvested in many new branches at the Curve, Sunway, the Gardens ... etc
I've been to most of their outlets as I too am a big fan of pizza & pasta and they all serve pretty decent food EXCEPT the branch at the Gardens, Mid Valley. If you've never been there, i put 100 bucks on the table that you're gonna regret it, especially if you're having their pasta.
I can understand if they've got an Italian cook assigned to their most premium outlet but raw pasta just dont cut it with malaysians. Raw pasta as in pasta that's not cooked properly, when its hard to chew on the floury core of the noodles.
And worse if its not even an Italian cook - which just means they got inexperienced cooks.
And here's how empty it is on a Saturday evening. a a a a On a brigther note, PRIME at Le Meridien Hotel, KL Sentral serves the best steak i've ever tasted in town. Nice ambient, good service (although the waitress couldn't get the meaning of 3 quarters done - she only understood medium well), comfy dining chairs, sparkling water, cosy ... just the place you wanna be after an overwhelming week of work.
a a a a This is an 8oz US center cut tenderloin. a a a a Australian Black Angus tenderloin aa a a a Jo sneaked a picture of me chewing on the medium well baked, 2 inch thick beef. a a a a Now that we've covered where not to go for lunch (or dinner) and where to go for dinner, im gonna cover some magnificent places to head to for supper. I dont know if its just me but i love my supper and I only get a chance to have it on weekends because on weekdays, every dinner is equivalent to supper.
If there's brunch for breakfast + lunch, what do you call dinner + supper? Dupper? haha.
Anyway, there are not many places in KL that serves noodles which are not soaked in soy sauce. KLan's are just not used to eating noodles when they're not soaking with soy sauce but i prefer it without the soy sauce... like it plain and white.
Like this... it's called the Mee Raja (King's noodles) and you can get it at Murni in SS2. Noodles with shrimp, artificial crab meat, chicken and a mixture of vege. Mouth watering!

a Appreciating the company, I brought Jo to the movies at the Gardens and we watched 17 Again. If you've never been to the Signature at GSC, i put another 100 bucks on the table that when you come here, you'd never return to the cinemas you used to go to.
17 Again was boring.... if you're not headed to the Cinema for Transformers, dont even think about going... there's just nothing to watch.
I invite all of you to take a look at this video. It was just shared today morning at the Eyeblaster digital day conference by a very credible speaker Rahul Thappa, the Leader of Mindshare Malaysia.
a
Have you seen the video?
a) Yes (pls proceed to read on)
b) No (pls watch the video before you proceed)
Have you imagined ever in your life that this is the kinda technology our kids are gonna live with?
Im sure your grandparents have never imagined that today, you can watch any video posted on the web from all over the world on your mobile phone with a few clicks. Im sure they have never imagined that today, you can watch your naked neighbour sunbathing on her rooftop in the comfort of your bedroom.
Anyway, back to the technology shown in the video - if you think about it, the technology is very simple. It's just image recognition that recognizes the gestures of your hand, or the toilet paper or the book or pretty much anything else.
And by recognizing the image, it triggers an action - whether is snapping a picture, connecting to your mobile phone to search for information, or showing you a watch. At the end of all these wonders, its just image recognition - connecting to a computer sitting in your mobile phone. So no big deal, just that the combination of a mobile & image recognition is just so vitally deadly!. Like what you're seeing now.
Of course, the final piece is the mini projector that projects the results on any screens.
This product is out in the US already at the price mentioned in the video, Nokia is launching a phone with a projector and everything seems to be coming in place to put this piece of technology in the mass market.
But can you imagine with me.....
- One morning you wake up together with your wife on bed... and she has your tagged pictures on Facebook from last night all over your naked body.
- When you wake up in the morning and your tummy is killing you, you sit in the toilet for ages and... you're reading the papers projected on the toilet door in front of you.
- One day in a work interview, the interviewer decides to know a little more about you she puts on the device. And the device (recognizing you and pulling info out from a blog post you wrote) tells the interviewer that you had a one night stand with her daughter while she was drunk last night.
- Advertisers spend 10million a year on advertising & celebrity endorsements but every consumer that walks to that advertiser's product see a red light projected on it and nobody buys it. This time around, the online influencers (ie bloggers) will be the Ronaldos & Hiltons of the current world.
- Your wife comes home late one day, you open the door and it says she just had an affair because she shared it on Twitter.
- If you're a politician like Chua Soi Lek and one day you're addressing a press conference with pretty much the whole nation watching you live and you suddenly have footages of your sex scandal projected on your white shirt - on National TV.
- You're in the army and you were sent by Bush to invade Iraq. You land in Iraq and the thing tells you that there's no nuclear weapon and you were sent there to bring the oil home.
The world's gonna be so fucked up hahaha.. but of course you can see it from many other perspectives.
