Ei Tee Em

I hate waiting at ATM, it takes me forever to take money because of people in front of me.

"Oh well, let it be" level
There are some people who forgot which account they keep their money, me included. These are quite tolerable as it's only a matter of pressing few more buttons to get it right.

"OK that's weird" level
Quite alot of people i see fall into this group. Some just keep entering the wrong password, or keep picking the "Current account" option instead of the usual "savings account" option. Yesterday I saw a rarest case of them all, one Malay lady kept taking out RM50 ONE AT A TIME, why can't just press the amount she wanted was beyond my caveman's brain.

"Please faster-lah" level
This is where my temper starts to build, as there's always 2 people squeeze together like sardines in one line while queueing. It's quite unpredictable as there might be one of them or BOTH of them will take out money, much contributes to my temper. No price for guessing which gender always do that.

"CAU CIBAI I'M GONNA KILL YOU" level
OK this where my whole face becomes moody, and the group always do that is none other than COUPLE. Same style as the previous level, but more tragic, and it takes longer than usual 5 minutes to take out money. I wonder what are they chatting about :

*At the ATM*
Stupid boy : Eh darling you take out money first lar.

Stupid bitch : No lah boy boy, you first.

Stupid boy : You first

Stupid bitch : You first

Stupid boy : You first

Stupid bitch : You first

*this goes on for 5 minutes, just for the conversation*

Stupid bitch : I took out my money liao boy boy, I want you to have it.

Stupid boy : No need lah darling, you keep it.

Stupid bitch : You take lar

Stupid boy : You keep lar

Stupid bitch : You take lar

Stupid boy : You keep lar

*another 5 minutes have passed*

Stupid boy : Eh darling, I want you to take out my atm card for me.

Stupid bitch : Lazy ah you boy boy, you take it yourself.

Stupid boy : You take

Stupid bitch : You take

Stupid boy : You take

Stupid bitch : You take

*another 5 minutes passed, then they walked away*

Please oh please, stop this madness !!!!

Where it all begins (part 3)

Main characters of Autobots :

Optimus Prime


Leader of the Autobots, and yes, he's THE BOT. His alternate mode is a flat nose truck, which can be see here but not in US anymore. His courage and never-say-die attitude instantly became every kids' favourite character, or some to the extent of father figure, in a good way. Unlike any other autobots, he can single handed-ly defeat Decepticons include Megatron. Optimus Prime, according to the cartoon series, was actually Orion Pax. He was chosen to lead Autobots by Alpha Trion who resurrected him from death after he got blasted apart by Megatron in Cybertron. Here's a clip that why Optimus Prime can do what others autobots can't do : Kicking ass.



Ironhide


Self-proclaimed of Optimus Prime's bodyguard, but he does it well too ! An Autobot veteran who is as old as Optimus Prime himself, he always put himself on the frontline, ready to battle. Armed with semen cement and other chemical fluids, he can freeze decepticons to a halt.

Ratchet


The medic of Autobots, and an alt mode as an ambulance obviously.

Prowl


A right-hand man of Optimus Prime. With an alt of a police car, he can patrol around to look out for any Decepticons. He can be quite anal when it comes to rules.

Wheeljack


The brain behind the Autobots. Whenever there's trouble about machine, he is the one they look for. Even Ratchet needs his help in medical issues, as Transformers are all living machines. To some, he is mostly a mad scientist.

Sideswipe & Sunstreaker


Both are fast, both are furious, both can fight and speed with style !!

Jazz


Specialist in dangerous missions, loves rock & roll music.

Last but not least,

Bumblebee


He's cute. He's a volkswagon. He loves to help people. He's an underdog. What's more ? He's the cutest autobot around :D.

*next few days wiill continue with the Decepticons*

Where it all begins (part 2)

Transformers,
More than meets the eyes;
Transformers,
Autobots wage the battle
To destroy the evil forces of
The Decepticons.

Transformers,
Robots in disguise,
Transformers,
More than meets the eyes
Transformers.



There's no mistake, this is the song that stuck on almost everyone's head till today. Transformers cartoon series kick started around 1983 or 1984, while we Malaysians got it late at 1993, and the only station that aired was RTM 1. Thank you for airing them, if not we won't know these unique 80s cartoon today :D.

Now let me start by introducing the 2 races that wage wars against each others. First, this is Autobots.




Autobots are a group of robots that transform into mostly....vehicles. Their leader is none other than Optimus Prime. They mostly consist of civilian hence their number is more than the Decepticons.

Next is Decepticons.



Decepticons consist of mostly military experts, hence they always hell-bent on total control. Lead by the notorious and eternal enemy of Optimus Prime, Megatron, the Decepticons are totally unstoppable and only the Autobots can stand up against them to protect others. "Freedom Is Right Of All Sentient Beings" had became among the famous quote from Optimus Prime, in order to stop Megatron and his armies.

Below are the images that I find it clear enough for all to see who's who. Next stop I will introduce some famous characters one by one.

The Autobots :



The Decepticons :

Bless and curse

I have a very, very deep patience. I can tolerate almost anything. I can tolerate crying babies, annoying assholes and worst of all, back-stabbing bastards. Somehow I am so patience to the extent that people call me a coward, ball-less, etc, but all I want to do is avoid, or stay away from them, as I see fit as a better way to resolve conflicts.

Sometimes I question myself why should I do so in the first place, instead of letting my anger all out in front of them. However my other inner self hold me back, mutter in my head that "better not, better not...", hence I find myself reduce into a piece of harmless, toothless tiger.

I am quite patience because I afraid I might hurt others, or make a fool of myself if I unleash my anger in the wrong time. I am quite patience because I make a habit of listen-first-then-talk, so I can give proper opinion. Last but mot least, I just can't DO IT :/.

For quite some times I haven't lost my temper, all I can do is wait for the right time. Waiting, and waiting........

Where it all begins (part 1)

Right, this is the continuation from my previous post for my own Transformers 101. I forgot to bring my digicam down with me so my other blog cannot be update till after CNY XP. Anyway let's go.

After the name changed from Diaclone to Transformers, the toys has been a huge hit among kids in the 80s. I don't know whether the toyline came first or the cartoon series, but my overall research proved that the first one.





With the 2 long TF toy commercials above, you will be brought back to the 80s era where the "bricks" (term for vintage G1 Transformers toys) reigned supreme. It was not a laughing matter that the toys had very limited articulation, which was rotating the arms 360 degree, because when it came to transforming into (no pun intended) a vehicle, this was where they shone. The vehicles were realistic as hell, furthermore they were die cast, a term for toys that have 90% metal material on certain part.

With the toys became so popular among the kids, Hasbro and Takara decided to make them into a cartoon series, while Marvel lended a hand to make a comic book series as well. And here they kicked start the series that we all saw during our primary school days, the Transformers cartoon series. Next I will write about the cartoon.

Diaclones.

Di-what ? Yup, Diaclones. This idea was created by Takara and the toyline suppose to be a group of "transforming" robots piloted by human ala Gundam. During a toy exhibition in Japan, a few representives from a small toy company named Hasbro saw the Diaclones toyline and got hooked, they wanted to bring the idea over to US to market, and Hasbro dubbed them.....no price for guessing, TRANSFORMERS. Not only it was a successful one, it also propelled Hasbro into a number 1 toy company in the world today. For further reading about how did the idea of Transformers created, you can check out the link below :

Oh wait, a picture paints a thousand words, so here's some Diaclones commercial for you to see :

There, this is my first step of introduction of Transformers, next step I will jump into the in the era where every TF fans called it, the Generation 1. Laters.

TRANSFORMERS YEAR

Yup, with 7 more months to go till the live action movie hit the theater, I might come out with my own "Transformers 101". I tried to do it last year but it's still considered early so I held back till the right moment, which is.....now. Nah I am too lazy to write now, so bear with me, as I tried to summarise without leaving out the important details about Transformers.

So how about my current life ? So far things are looking good as usual. My room is bigger, which means I can add one more (and larger) shelf :D~~, and...yea that's all, with an exception that the internet is slow as usual. And today all ATMs gone wonky as they are all fed up with people withdrawing money from them, so yea can't withdraw my own moolah to buy 2 important things today -_-". Oh well, at least I still have 4 more holidays untill my second semester starts.

Hey tonight I might start writing by tonight ! Laters.
