---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day: 119
Status: On call
Days without PS2: 7 days (I'm just giving an estimate here)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK - I've had enough of that shit. The perfectionist inside me tells me that I "need alternate colours for the links on this page. One blue and one orange....alternate". I've tried getting alternate colours since last night and I've tried today but I still can't get it. I can't figure out the code where it sets the colours. So fuck it, I say. Either live with "rojak" colours or get rid of the additional links entirely.
Haven't decided which to do, maybe you guys can help me out. More links? 3 is enough?

Enough of that shit.

Shoutouts to my cousin Terence Eng in the US of A. Oh yes - and his girlfriend as well. A *toast* to the lovebirds. That's if you're all reading this on a regular basis. I'll try to entertain you people with my opinions and thoughts.

I seem to have more people visiting this site. Not bad I'd say. If I can get 1 person to read each day.....I might be able to publish a book and go to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller! YEAH RIGHT. Dream on. Never in my life have I considered being an author. NEVER EVER.

Work drained the energy out of me on Friday night. Got home around 12 am. Spent most of Saturday at home. That was last night.
Only stepped out of the apartment to throw out the garbage ( because it was my turn ) and go across the street to get dinner.

God damn I pigged out last night! I had a quarter of my quiche, 2 slices of toast then after that - ran across the road to get myself a Popcorn chicken combo. Not just any combo - I got the UPSIZE combo! OHMYGOD! Do you know the significance of an upsize combo? Let me fill you in. It consists of a LARGE popcorn chicken, a LARGE chips and a LARGE drink! I finished up the chicken and chips ( also known as fries elsewhere in the world ) watching V.I.P on tv.

Yes - I said V.I.P. You know....that show starring Pamela Anderson? V.I.P actually stands for Valerie Irons Protection. I hardly watch this series. The acting's wooden, the fight scenes are lame. I managed to catch the first episode here on Foxtel some time back. They were showing this on the AXN channel on MegaTV back home in Malaysia. It's about Valerie Irons, a nobody in Hollywood/Beverly Hills, working as a hotdog stand waitress. The only thing she looks forward to is shopping at boutiques ( I wonder how she affords designer labels working at a hotdog stand? )

One day, she gets a date from a hunky Hollywood star to attend some movie premiere or some shit like that. Upon arriving at the red carpet, an assasination attempt is made on the actor and being the chicken shit that he was, he shoved poor Valerie in front of the gun man to protect his own ass. The assassin hesitated awhile ( because of Valerie's jugs? *shrugs* ) and she somehow managed to disarm the man by fluke. The actor then claimed to all the paparazzi and reporters present that Valerie was his bodyguard undercover.

This was of course a subplot. The other storyline running parallel to the Valerie story was about a Protection Agency that was going out of business. The owner was in debt and was planning to run off with whatver money he had left. His scam was to sell off shares of his Agency to the 3 bodyguards he employed. They of course had no idea what was going on and thought being partners was a good thing. He finally ran off, leaving them in debt. The following day, they decided they needed to save the company, saw Valerie on every front page of the newspapers and magazines and decided to rope her in. She would have to do nothing, just being a mascot, handle clients at the same time looking pretty, while the 3 bodyguards handled the dirty work. Hence, V.I.P Agency was born.

Watching yesterday's episode got me thinking how much it seemed like a really LOW budget softcore porn movie. All the tell-tale signs were there. Unknown but fairly attractive stars, lots of flesh, and of course - the obligatory shower scene with music to set the mood. Yes...who can forget the shower scenes. The camera angle focuses on the back of the actress while she showers and she turns her body ever so slightly so that viewers get a glimpse of her breasts behind the silhouette of her body. Oh, did I mention all these wasn't done behind a shower screen? No no .. not shadows.. you get to see real flesh * winks *.

Anyway - the good thing about watching V.I.P are the special appearances by some famous people. Other than gorgeous girls in skimpy outfits, of course. I've seen WWF's very one Texas Rattlesnake "Stone Cold Steve Austin" in an episode where he was showing one of the female bodyguards some wrestling holds. I've seen the ads on tv which had Jerry Springer, Sherman Helmsley ( from the Jeffersons - damn, I never watched this but they just did an episode of Entertainment Tonight with him in it. I don't think I was even born when the Jeffersons were showing! ) among others. Last night episode was actually focussing on the Y2K bug which had a gifted teen from a special school writing some computer game which was what he thought he was doing. In actual fact, the school was contracted by the government to come up with a solution to handle the Y2K problem at the stroke of midnight. The entire episode had Valerie looking at watches and changing into different outfits, not wanting to miss the party of the Milennium. Anyway, the show ended with them saving the boy, saving the world (but of course) and the whole gang waltzing up to a mansion. Now - it wasn't just any mansion, it was the Playboy Mansion and who else as special guest star but Hugh Hefner himself. Some cheesy special effects of fireworks to commemorate the turn of the Milennium as they counted down to the New Year and the credits rolled. *yawn*

I was actually watching V.I.P while having dinner because WWF Smackdown was on after that! YEAH! Nothing like watching people giving and getting a good ass kicking. I wonder why the Rock wasn't on last night's show. Some of you might be left out, Smackdown and RAW are now 2 different "entities" and certain wrestlers only appear on either of the shows. The "People's Champion/Brahma Bull/The Great One" Rock, Kurt "Olympic Hero/Crybaby" Angle, Chris "Rabid Wolverine/Crippler" Benoit, Chris "Y2J" Jericho are among some of the people in Smackdown now. Check out the links at the side of this page for more info as well as match results.
Can't find it or you're somehow blinded at this point? I'll be nice - just type this in your browser: www.wwf.com

And that's it! That's what I did on Saturday! How exciting. It's 2.30 pm, Sunday afternoon now. I'm still wondering if I should head down to the city to get my Jamiroquai CD. I think I hear some of you groaning now...yes...talking about the CD again. Some of you might go " Just go get the goddamn CD and stop telling us about 'thinking about getting it' so we don't have to listen to all your crap anymore ". Well guess what? I'm being sadistic now - I want to torture you readers. I might go on and on everyday about getting the CD. But hey, the SALE ends today. I might get it some other time from JB Hi-Fi some other time.

Maybe I should just save up the money and get it some other time. I could use the money for some other things.

At the top of the post, you will see that I have not touched my PS2 for about a week now. Interesting. Maybe I'll go fire up my baby if I've really got nothing else to do. My poor baby's been cold for 1 week now. She needs some warming up.

Great, I lost all net connection now. Can't post this. Have to save it on some document and post it up later. Damn. Why the fuck did he turn off his pc?

Hrm - going out to get groceries later. Must remember to get 3 packets of milk and NOT 2. 3 is enough to last me a week. Helps when I have slight gastric pains. Running out of some other items as well. Yup, definitely need to go shopping later. Whooo... I can't wait! I'm such a fucktard.

2.44 pm - Back online!
