Cartoons (redone)

Dammit I have to redone again, as putting up more than 5 youtubes cause the whole site to crash. Might as well put links.

When you say "I like cartoons" at the age of 21, people will stare at you, like you announced that you switch gender or worst, embracing homosexual life. There's one bitch called Angeline Wong summed it up pretty blunt 5 years ago.

"What for you still watch cartoons ? You are already adult, you should watch something adult now, not cartoon. Ish..."

I wish I could bitch slap her bad, I hate her till now. Just don't let me see you.

It's kinda ironic that they themselves enjoy watching cartoons too when they were kids. Even though they out grown it, why force others to do so ? These days cartoons are pretty much poke fun at adults, not even in way of Simpsons, Family Guy or South Park. Anyway let's start with some older toons from the late 80s and 90s. Early 80s cartoons are too much, so I will be at risk of being yelled "why didn't you add this awesome toon ?!". I have to narrow down so I won't tired myself out, rest you can find to discover them yourself.

Animaniacs

Seriously, before Anime, there's Animaniacs, a masterpiece by Steven Spielberg. It's a series consisted of many wacky mini series inside one episode, one of the mini series was quite famous : Pinky And The Brain, don't you remember ? The series was successful though, capped with 5 seasons. Wiki.

Freakazoid

Another masterpiece by Spielberg himself. I don't know what crack he was on, the show became my instant favourite just by the intro XD. The story is about a boy got zapped into cyberspace and infected with some 1337 codes to become a superhero, a crazy one. Unlike Animaniacs, this only ended with one season, quite sad though. Wiki.

Ghostbusters

Do not confused with other one, and I pity the fool who never watch this.The animation for this one was cutting edge, even till this day it looks brand new. Moreover, the ghosts in the show were creepy as hell, even though it was for kids. Even though I enjoy the new Extreme Ghostbusters, their ghosts are somewhat... ain't scary, as they are being gore for the sake of it. Oh did I tell you that I used to have Marshmellow doll too ? *teehee*


Mighty Orbots

Come on, at least you remember that fatso who eats garbage. A short series though but it's one of those 80s mecha that stood out after Voltron (yes the voice over is none other than Peter Cullen himself, who voices the mighty Optimus Prime) and Transformers.

Duckula

Maybe this is one is easier to remember. This cartoon was another poke at the most workshipped goth idol. The series started with the resurrection that gone all wrong when one of His servant added ketchup instead of real blood, made him turn into a VEGETARIAN. Hilliarity follows where the "vemp" goes.

Sharky And George

Bloody hell you never seen on TV3 every Tuesday ?! SHAME ON YOU. Anyway the series is all about detective's all in a day works, under the sea that is. I really enjoyed the noir of the series, not so dark, yet so entertaining.

Disney at the 90s, to me, was at their best. Series like Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Quack Pack and Bonkers made me glued to TV almost every afternoon when I finished my homework. Too bad today disney is all about dramas, movie based cartoon series and Kim-possible, never like them anyway.

While most cartoons above are kids friendly, there's one, and I wanted to write this for a while, go way beyond digusting and abnoxious at best : Spunko's Ren & Stimpy. The story is simple : everyday life of the retarded cat Stimpy and control freak chi hua hua Ren. And I can just piss you off by singing this song :



Rocko's Modern Life

It's softer than its counterpart, but hit on life hard. Gotta cartoon when it tries to be funny and dark at the same time.

Anyway enough with the old cartoons, there are some newer ones that stand out among the rest.

Avatar The Last Air Bender

The Batman

Teen Titans

Justice League Unlimited

Legion Of Superheroes

And last but not least, next year most anticipated one, and it need no introduction.



I partially give up on anime, as I don't have the enthusiast to chase them. Even though I do watch them, I only watch either the old one or go with the average of one anime per year. Lucky Star is not as great as people make out to be. Full of dialog, and I believe people watch it just to see Konata's face at every 24 episodes.

That's all. Laters.

Thank you

Thank you Croatia for kicking out one of, if not, the most pompous fuck team in the world. Inbred swines, bunch of them, thinking themselves as talent and world class while most of them never even travel outside their motherland in the first place.

Euro 2008 is gonna be a beautiful day without those lots who are just a bunch of attention seeking kids. We won't miss you, cunts.

Oh noes, not this....

"Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they are girls who do girls like they are boys...."

- Blur, taken from their single 'Girls And Boys'

When it comes to gender wars, I avoid it like a plague. I deem it childish and immature just to debate which gender is superior. Hell, can't they realised that one can't exist without the opposite sex, or let's just a very, very blunt question.....WHY THE FUCK DID YOU BORN WITH A GENITAL IN THE FIRST PLACE, BE IT A MEAT STICK OR A VOLCANIC CANYON, IF YOU ARE SO AGAINST OTHER GENDER ?!

Now I got this out of the way, I want to write something else, it's out of topic yet still connect to the childish war. I read somewhere about a female blogger, who managed to post up her friend's diary, about how she suffered under her badboy-type boyfriend starting from a relationship till marriage. Now that she's pregnant and she wants out cause she couldn't stand at that man's attitude and family anymore, yet she still stuck with them. I don't want to post the link, as I assume that that post got ping like mad.

Now I want to play as a devil's advocate, which is another excuse I want to hide behind to flame that poor girl.

First of all, put aside the pity for her, why she chose him in the first place ? The way she wrote her diary never told how she met him, only started with her marriage life and how the man's family treated her like shit during the preparation of marriage. That man, of all men, has the most obnoxious attitude that Gods of the Underworld would like to have, yet she still stay with him after all this time ? Silly girl. (Stupid is a word too strong to describe her)

That brings me to another matter : Girls like bad boys. There, I admit it after reading The Game (half way, I decided to put down, not to read anymore), but can't I blame them ? No, it's their pheromones, they see "confidence" in them with their rowdy behavior, just like the case above. She been treated beyond low class, her in-laws insulted her family, her husband did not support her, and she STILL stuck with him ? I don't understand the logic here. I wonder whether it's their bad luck or their hormones do the talking to find their mates.

It may not be true for others but that's just me, cause I always read news about most girls complain about how they are treated lowly by their opposite sex, and again complain that good men are, you guessed it, too good for them. Some got knocked up and looking for abortion, I have no remorse to say serve them right in their faces. Heh, I couldn't turn back time now, so if I could, I want to flunk my exam, play truant, smoke, and kick my school teachers around, cause my dad is a principal *rawr*. But it's too late now, perhaps I should stop thinking about it after I finished this and do my own things.

Things I learnt from Singapore

- The only land that the Malaysian Government owned is the Tanjung Pagar Railway Station.

- The city is very KL-like, only more tail buildings

- You can't see the sky with all those tall buildings blocking it

- Orchard Road is like Bukit Bintang's obese sister

- Malls here make KL's Mid Valley, 1 utama look like a kids' playground

- There's a durian building that specially built for theater

- Ang Mo Kio Road is funny

- My aunty doesn't fit into my singaporean stereotype list, which is a damn good thing

- People got freaked out when the flooded area is 5cm deep.

- I failed to find the sea lion statue

- Most Singaporean still speak in mandarin

- Their motor plate is cool , as they start with "F".

- Singaporean don't give shit about traffic rules, unless there's police around

- Eating vegetarian food for 3 days open a whole new chapter of nightmare delight

-I miss masturbating :(

- My uncle opened a vegetarian restaurant at, of all places, Geylang Road -_-"

- Churches are every where, must be burnt down

- I have a whole new relative there, my mom's side espacially

- KTM trying to rip off singaporean, and they underestimate their "tenglang" power

- Kastam never tax me for my toy purchasing

- Train > cows

Chu chu kiasu

Right in few minutes time I will hope on the hoe train to Singapore, my first trip outside Malaysia. Will be back at Thursday morning.

I am not English, and I am not even a Scouser

Wanted to write this for quite some time, but I lack the temper to do so. However, thanks to lao yeh dot net, my temper has been recharged and ready to go ! Let the biased rant begins.

I, Yung Jie, hold no secrets that I supported Liverpool since I was nine. However it was not love at the first sight, it was more of an influence by my older brother who seemed to have saw the light and don't care anything but his missus. I started as a RED DEVIL supporter. You heard that right, I WAS a Manchester United fan. My brother realised it and decided to declare state of emergency on me, bombarded me with some history lessons about The Kop. Who can blame a 9 years old cibai kia whose pathetic mind can be easily twisted and molded ? So I jumped ship eventually. I still remember how he wanted me to take a vow to support Liverpool all my life, which it's a regret to me....partially ;). Come to think about it, *ego*no wonder my history is somewhat awesome and sexy*ego*.

Years go on, up and down, under Roy Evans, then the fallen great Gerrad Houllier and lastly (in a good way) the magnificient Mr.Rafa Benitez, Liverpool has faltered, and then prospered till now, not without the same old English mentality of "We can win t3h trophy this seas0n !!!11111oeneoneone". I still love Liverpool. I almost kicked my TV when Liverpool lost its one goal lead in FA Cup against Manchester United who went on to win their incredible treble in 1999, I sulked for 3 days when Steven Gerrard hit an own goal against Chelsea 2 years ago in FA Cup Final(or league cup ?), I cheered when Liverpool went on a winning spree, and yes, I cried like a prawn when Liverpool made THE comeback of all comebacks against AC Milan in 2005 UEFA Champions League Final. Thanks for the memories, Kop.

But then, with all my love for Liverpool, I also harbour fair share of dislike(hatred will be a strong word for this) against the team, and the fans, the local fans. While for the English, the REAL Scousers, they can continue their derby rivalry or ultimate rivalry for all I care, I enjoy watching their rivalries though, but it can't be applied the same on the local fans. Seriously, I borned in Malaysia, I don't have any sense of Scouse, let alone a bloodline, what gives them the fucking divine right to claim themselves as one ? I hate the word "we", I hate it with passion, as everytime people use it I feel like I am grouped with most of those arrogant pricks out there. Full of themselves, laughable demands for success, and best of all, like someone said, they "memang mudah lupa", that's "easy to forget" for those who don't know BM. They sometimes even hackle those who remain neutral or support more than one football club, forcing to choose one, that's beyond childish. They are quick to judge Mr.Rafa when he screwed by putting the blame on his rotation policy, which is such an easy target, and easy to analysis for most football "pundeks" out there. Did I mention how much I hate they using "mate". Sorry people, sometimes overused words just get on my nerve. Their shit talking only make them no where different than other fans, whom they labeled as hypocrites and jealous. No wonder my dad hates Liverpool so much.

I wonder how they are able to communicate with others, espacially those who support Manchester or, heaven forbid, (n)Everton ? Are they going to taunt them everytime they meet just for some plain kopitiam session ? Maybe I think too much. Am I a fan of the Kop ? Yes. Would I like to join those idiots to talk shit other teams everyday ? No. I prefer to talk about the players current form, be it Liverpool's or Man.Utd's, glad that I have one Man.Utd bloke that love to do so. I doubt even those English can be as rowdy as these monkeys here. Heck, even the usage of "We are not English, we are Scouse" sentence in their local forum ticked me off, hence the title above. Dude, you are a Malaysian, not some blokes who can speak England so powderful that I can't hear shit. In fact, we are the one that actually follow their system since colonisation.

I am sure anyone who read this, espacially those hardcore one, will straightly label me "not a real fan" or writing this as an act of treason. Heh, I rather be in a communist country than joining them monkey ranks. However I stand on my ground that I love Liverpool, I love it in my own way. Now scram Scouser wannabes.

Friends, foes......whatever

"What do you have few friends, Jie ?" Asked my dad

"Having too many friends also a bad thing, no ?" I replied. He nodded in agreement, or so it seems.

It's kind for him to worry my social life, in a very contrast to my brother, who seem have alot of friends from my dad's point of view. Granted, he's has alot of and I don't, so ? Did I failed according to his criteria ? Sorry.

Perhaps I would like to elaborate further. I make friends by sharing my thoughts, my hobbies and my interests, not changing myself to become a whole different person in order to join them. My course mates ain't that bad, just that my interests vary from them, however we still able to communicate "at least". I am sorry to be harsh but, I am not trying to impress them to their pleasure in order to join the rank. Sorry, that's not what I wanted to be, a different person, by sacrificing things that what me today, no siree. I am not gonna make a bitch/asshole happy by sucking up to them so I can be in their league. I ain't force them to like me, nor respect me, no ? To each their problem, as between me and them, we have to stand each other for the next 2 and a half year if they don't like me. Perhaps fate or my luck, most of them don't fit into my over thinking criteria, we still work together in a project last semester, or forced to included me (again, over thinking, bad bad), but I didn't sense any dishonesty among them. Perhaps I should talk more, or they are just some typical people with mentality of grouping with people whom they known for long time, let's see how it goes. But I can't deny they are hard working and bright.

I do have friends, yes from the first glance I looked like I have very few, I blame my weird habit of "hardly talk", cause I like to observe by far before jumping in. If I don't have one, what do I join clubs for ? How can I go through shitty situation without any help from others ? And best of all, how can I still maintain my sanity till today ? Because I DO have friends, it's just I hardly talk, I like to listen to them, that's all. I am human too, I need companion, no man is an island,
it's just the way I make friend.

Yet I also prepare myself for the situation of "people come and go". They will be my friends for today, but they might turn into an assholes by tomorrow. Gloomy isn't it ? I am just being realistic here. Or perhaps I am only half right so I don't hold to it as a principal, just a gentle reminder to myself across my life.

Dear "The Man"..

How long ? How long are you going to bury your head under the ground and remain in denial ? How long are you going to twist ? How many tricks do you have in your sleek ? You know how those swines in Animal Farm end up, no ? Your time's up, sir, what goes around comes around, it's only a matter of time.

Oh the irony part deux

I wonder I will get myself behind the cells for singing both of this song in Singapore.

That's it

I have to accept it. The more I think about it, the more gutted I feel. Perhaps not in this life time, maybe next life will be better.
