The 4 Year Old McDonalds Burger

So, I was online today and I was chatting to my brother and he gave me this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGtDPG4UfI

Basically it's about a four year old McDonalds burger that this lady has for some reason decided to keep in a lunchbox and carry around with her. She's obviously studying something and I didn't do any investigating into who she is or what she does, but the clip is an excerpt from some shot on Diet.com.

I do not diet, don't know anyone that does, so needless to say, I my interest stopped at the clip.

It IS interesting though. Basically, it shows that a McDonalds cheeseburger, kept just as it was bought in a lunchbox (no shrink wrap, no preservatives added, etc) after four years, has NO mold, NO rot and looks almost like the real thing. Except that it is rock hard.

This lady has 4 year old frenchfries for God's sake! And yes, these fries too scarily look exactly like the fresh thing. I really wanted to feel it myself. Apparently the grease and oil is retained over those years!

F**K! What the HELL does this mean? I do not usually eat fries, and oddly enough, today I got the Hot Ogalo MEAL instead of just the burger. Hmmmmmmmm

Just another shitty little thing about the world that we just will never know the real truth about huh?

Deepavali: What happens when you are left astray in a foreign country with culture that can be confined to sand and surf



Deepavali, or Divali, (Markiscarali) is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. Hindus tend to treat and celebrate Diwali as Christians treat and celebrate Christmas. In many parts of India, it is the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile in the forest. The people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed Rama by lighting rows (avali) of lamps (deepa), thus its name, Deepavali. This word, in due course, became Diwali in Hindi. But, in South Indian languages, the word did not undergo any change, and hence the festival is called Deepavali in southern India. South India celebrates it as Light of Lamps that fills the dark New Moon day(Deepavoli: Deepam=Lamp, Oli=Light(Tamil)). It is also marked in parts of Southern India as the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. Diwali is celebrated on the first day of the lunar Kartika month, which comes in the month of October or November.

I am Hindu, though not a very devoted one. I was born Hindu, and my family practiced the basic customs I suppose, new clothes for Deepavali, lucky colour for the day, and usually a family get-to-gether to cap it all off. I never treasured this much I must say, when I was young. I mean sure, it was great that we got to get new clothes, but since I was quite the tomboy back in the day living in Malaysia, it usually meant mum trying to get me into a skirt or a dress of some sort to be paraded in front of family.

Mum would always do her sambrani thing on Fridays and I love/miss the smell. I miss the dab of thinnuru on my forehead after mum or grandma's done praying. When Thaipusam rolled around, there would be the lure of Batu Caves and I even recall the charriot coming past our house in ss2. I remember because the indian boys from school followed the charriot and discovered where I lived. Yes....



I've been in Sydney now 5 years. I guess it has always been a question in my mind .... to make a life in Sydney or to "continue" my life in Malaysia. For everyone back home, the answer is obvious, that I should stay as far away from KL as I can. The only benefit is salary I think...so working in Australia would pay you more, but you also have to spend alot more to live, so even that evens itself out. The quality of life here is very "rich". People live their lives but you need money to live it out decently. There are great activities to do, but I guess it's the asian culture that I miss. I miss sitting at the mamak and being able to sit and eat till any hour without the pressure to clear the table. Hahah. I miss cheap food, and good fun. Tacky lights and plastic chairs,
I LOVE Malaysia, and I would take offense if someone decided to go on a "I hate Malaysia" rant. It's okay if a Malaysian bitches about it because we are Malaysian and Malaysia boleh so it's like our "right". Mostly because I think your arguement has to be legit if you want to talk to me about how shit my country is. In most cases, you'd have to have lived in Malaysia for awhile to even BEGIN to "GET IT".
I think if you live in Malaysia your whole life, without ever being able to live or experience otherwise, you end up wanting to run away from it. If you have had the chance to see how other parts of the world operate, I think you end up wanting to go back to Malaysia. I dont know, it happens differently for everyone I guess. Our country is complex, and downright sexy.
Anyway, needless to say, if I was in Malaysia now, I'd have indulged in a very hectic foodfest this weekend and today. :) I want my muruku and kesari and sweets and food food glorious food! All I can do now is wait for mum to get on Skype and hear about all the amazing things she made and then ate, and if didn't eat then saw. *sigh*
Happy Deepavali to me then ey?! Yayyyyyyy

Singh is King: SNOOP, yes, D-O double G

So, I had heard that Snoop had gone and gotten himself into some Bollywood stint awhile ago. I believe this was around the time that I had found out that Snoop was actually touring around Australia and that he would be in Sydney for a concert. To be honest, it doesn't really excite me much that Snoop's going to be there but Bone Thugs have got me pretty hyped.

Since I really don't care much for what happens with Snoop, I thought I'd go ahead and do some investigation into his indian venture. Don't get me wrong I love Snoop but I really do not like the fact that he's gone and done it.

I shall not go further untill I get through the lyrics for this song because I believe it all starts there, as in all my questions about the reason behind it were answered ....starting HERE:

Yo, what up this big snoop dog,
Represent the Punjabi,
Aye ya,
Hit’em with this
RDB, DPGC
Akshay and Snoop D O double G..G
Oh yeah, singh is king, this is the thing,
Did you know what I mean?
Follow me,
Listen to me for a second, check it
Singh is the king ..check the records..
Yaari hai jaan ena di, vakhri hai shaan ena di,
Hasna pehchaan ena di, taiyo aye duniya kehndi,
Yaari hai jaan ena di, vakhri hai shaan ena di,
Hasna pehchaan ena di, sab milke kehde ne..
[Singh is king, singh is king,
Singh is king, hun har koi jaane..
Singh is king, singh is king,
Singh is king, duniya de raaje..]- 2 times
Ferrari’s, buggatis and maseratis,
Snoop D O double G, the life of the party..
Lay back, stay back,
I am in the may back,
This ain’t James Brown,
But it’s the big playback,
Watch me zoom by,
Make it boom by,
Wat up to all the ladies,
Hanging out in Mumbai,
Cheese make dollars,
east west masala,
singh is the king,
so you all have to follow..

[Wad up wad up, wad up
I am trying to struck mine]- 2 times
Wad up wad up wad up,
I am trying to stick this,
Wad up, wad up, wad up
I am trying to struck mine
Wad up, wad up, wad up..

Singh is king, hun har koi jaane..

Singh surmaie, rakh de ne aan,
Agar lorh payi te de denge jaan,
Raje maharaje vi kar desi maan,
Rakhde si pag unchi, bande di shaan..
Jo singha ne kithiyan kurbaaniyan ne,
Who duniya pe chad gayi nishaniyan ne,
Duniya de ban gaye singh badshah,
Par sabto uncha, oh sacha badshah..

Singh is king, singh is king,Singh is king…

[Singh is king, singh is king,

Yeah, Im just a king,
Sitting on my throne all alone,
Can you dig what I’m saying?
Bring me some grapes over here babe,
Singh is king ,
And snoop DO double G is also the king,
You dig what I mean?
I have seen the video, and put it this way, if you are not a fan of Bhangra, AND a fan of snoop, it might kill you. As with the lyrics, basically, the bits in red are the parts that I absolutely hate and the rest of it is in Hindi so I dont get it anyway, but I am looking at this from a Snoop p.o.v yeah. Only fair since I dont really watch Hindi movies(except for when I was back in KL because they play it on tv with Malay subs), dont speak or understand it and do not listen to Bhangra. I also do not listen to Heavy Metal. That's just me.

For the love of God, what is UP with the wad up wad up stick it stick it?! This is NOT acceptable ...NOT from CALVIN BROADUS.

WHAT HAPPENED?! What happened to the good old days of hanging out sippin on gin n juice.
*sigh*




Okay so I have always found ways to argue things to myself for the sake of my own inner peace. And this time, I have decided that Snoop did it for the money. I mean who wouldn't? He would have really been treated like a king, been entertained by lots of gorgeous Punjabi chicks, all that and a paycheck at the end. And for what work at the end? To rock up and spit out that crap?! I mean, Warren G DID do a track with TOO PHAT. And we all know their aunt had fame and I think they came from a pretty wealthy family so they paid him to do like, a specific number of verses, and he didn't even come down to KL to record it. These idiots actually flew their crew to the states to film. OF COURSE LAAAH got chance to with mister G mah down at the long beach...u kno.....like that la.

SO SNOOP...you are indeed a wise businessman. You're diversifying yourself, trying to penetrate different markets. I get it....will never even download an illegal copy of it off the internet so you can guarantee I won't be guilty of copyright infringement :D I'm all for celebrities and their obscene wealth.

The 401 Keg



"If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,you will have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you willhave $33.00 today.

If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.

With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.


But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, youwill have received $214.00.


Based on the above, the best currentinvestment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the401-Keg." http://401kegplan.com/keg/

RETARDATION to the MAX! Shah Rukh's a Datuk and Beyonce can't perform in KL?!

"Ah nothing like the wind against your bare nipples"

" Ooh look at my sexy pelvic vein...want to lick the sweat off my chin? "


"I could be your ONLY dreamlover ;)"

"If I were YOUR lover, this is how i'd do it to you! Yeah baby! "




" Sexing it up with a hat....abit of Flashdance for ya here"


"Tripple-whammie-sex-me-up-shot"



KUALA LUMPUR: Bollywood idol Shah Rukh Khan will now flaunt the prefix 'Datuk', a traditional title conferred by the Malaysian royalty and akin to the British knighthood.
The Indian heartthrob will receive his Datukship from the Malacca head, Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob later on Saturday.
He has been listed as an artiste from Dreamz Unlimited, his filmmaking company, in the list of recipients. Shah Rukh will receive the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), the third highest title.
He is among 77 recipients of the title.
Khan, 43, is a highly acclaimed Indian actor who works in Bollywood films, as well as a film producer and television host.












___________________________________________________________________




Tell me guys....do the pictures above in ANY WAY show a person deemed "DECENT" by our wonderfully Malaysian standards?


The Guy is shirtless half the time, the rest of the time alternating between pelvic thrusting and jumping around like a nutcase singing with glee. If not that, then he's beating a bunch of men up.

I am SO confused...artists such as Avril Lavigne and Beyonce Knowles aren't allowed to perform because of their sultry outfits and just because of the hyper-activity that apparently goes on with these concerts.



F**K all these double standards. Then you go and give a punkpunde like Khan here titleship in Malaysia all because he literally SHOOK HIS ASS around during a video IN WHICH HE DIDNT EVEN SING IN! I mean, he LIP SYNCHED around Taman Gajah for five minutes, so he deserves this title??



I swear, you get more posts of this freak shirtless if you google "Shahrukh shirtless" and you dont even get one of Beyonce if you google "Beyonce shirtless" What the hell kind of message are these older assholes sitting as position of power sending off to the rest of the world about Malaysia?



We need to slowly shoot dead all the wrinkly farts sitting on their inflated prostates and fake book of bullshit guidance and replace it all....

TIME TO CLEAN THE F*****G SLATE guys not add dumkunts to our list of already huge dumkunts



"HALAL?! Screw you guys I'm gettin CruNkeD!!! :D~~~~ "

"Yeh I get my smoke on too"

Cookie




So my little sister/only sister comes in the form of an African Grey parrot Cookie. This addition to our family came when we were living in Hong Kong in 2001 and my brother Sachin managed to convince my mother to let a pet parrot into the household.




See, the odd thing with my family is that they are a huge fan of "odd" pets. I mean, I remember begging for a dog for years when I was younger...but NOOOoooo..I was never responsible enough to have a dog or a cat, so I tried desperately to flag down strays but they were always flea infested and that is never a good thing. Anyway, prior to Cookie, we had been through turtles and parakeets, as well as a stray dog we tried to keep that we named Spike and a stray cat that I found named Pussy. I know...IT scratched me one day and I never saw it again....




Anyway, so now we are into our like what...7th year with Cookie, and she is a NUT. I mean, this bird is so unbelievably human-like it's crazy. She eats what we eat, does what we do, and my mother gets on Skype and makes us talk to her! I mean....*sigh* I'm not really sure what it is but that bird has got us hooked :) She still kinda has this thing with me...I personally think because I'm the "other daughter" and whenever I'm back home mum is always too busy with me to give her the attention she normally gets.


In any case....I guess I love her....all I know is a world without Cookie is something I can NOT imagine!

MAX PAYNE Oct 16th 2008


Max Payne in the cinemas. Just when you thought nothing would beat Sin City....nyeh heh heh. I must say, I haven't been this excited since Transformers came out and probably wont be untill the next Transformers comes out, with the exception of Max Payne.


There IS a higher power because Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne. He is mucho the hotness and I'm lovin it.

Don't want to bring the hype up too much JUST IN CASE the movie is a huge let down. Well, I dont know what would be a letdown in watching Wahlberg on screen for a coupla hours, especially if he sheds pieces of clothing. :)

What about that tatt??

Tattoo time: Thambi has one, mum has one, everyone seems to have if not want or plans to get one. This time, I'm doin it.

I am an extreme procrastinator. This tattoo idea has been lingering for ages but I only decided to sit down and design myself my tattoo yesterday, since I'm supposed to get it done today. Part of the reason why I'm up so early in anticipation. My stomach is already doing the butterfly jiggy and 2.30 is hours away!

So I'm just gonna pop the pics up and I'll see tonight if it has materialized. Another step to ensure that I do in fact GET IT....today.... :)










WEST COAST ORIGINALS



After I found out that Snoop got his visa approved for his Australian tour, I almost flipped. THEN, I found out that he was touring with not only ICE CUBE, but BONE THUGS AND HARMONY. I mean, this is the equivalent to an unexpected sexy-time dream for me man. It could not happen in a more awesome way than this.

The last concert I took a chance on was Chingy, sad to say. I really dont care what's hot or not, but he was hot in my books a couple of years ago when he toured. He toured with 112 and Ja Rule, but what pissed me off with that concert were two things:

1. I did not get the best tickets in the house because they were sold out

2. Ja Rule is SO over the top! When he got on the stage, all I wanted to know was when he was getting off.

So basically, Chingy came and did his shit, and left, then Ja Rule spent the remaining concert time screaming and barking into a mic, pouring water down his t shirt while 112 twirled around like batty boys.

Look I like myself some peaches n cream...but hey...I came for Chingy, what the hell is this?!

SO NOW, I've got the BEST tickets in the house....DA CHRONIC Dancefloor seats, and I'm seeing snoop, ice AND bone! BABY BABY yeahhhh.

UNFORTUNATELY, my favourite bone brother Bizzy will not be with them. Im not sure if this is good or bad because if he was there, I might faint. And I dont know about fainting with AUD150 tickets. Shizzz...

Anyway this is going to be one hell of an orgasmic event...deserving of a post on my blog though its pretty much inactive. I'm awesome!
