The death of a fan…

Do you have a fan?

A sad thing happened recently. A fan met her demise. A ardent fan she was, really. She was not very tall, only roughly 160 cm in height, but she always stood proudly.

Prelaunch Malaysia

Is this a cock (real) or a bull?

 

The cock and the bull presents – A very cool video of Prelaunch Malaysia. Check it out. It’s about direct selling that involves profit sharing of some sort. It promises big promises. Also said to be very successful in USA, Canada, UK & Australia, this little known arcane thingy. This is Prelaunch Malaysia. What they’re gonna launch is actually an application. The details, well, we’ll have to wait until 4th of January 2011 to find that out.

Prelaunch Malaysia

Hmm, sounds a bit fishy, but if you sign up you’ve got nothing to lose. So why not give it a try? If you’re up to it, click the join button.

Malaysia team laser-ing in on the Suzuki Cup

It’s now the beginning of the second half already, press time. The score now? 0-1. Woohoo. Just moments ago, shouts and horn blows erupted from some distant neighbors. Our striker, Safee just delivered a massive shot and scored. From looks of it, Malaysia’s very near future is looking bright.

The Indonesian team is looking confident and strong in their home ground. Bombardment after bombardment was thrown at the Malaysian’s defense, but none had touch the net.

At the start of the match, I wanted to see if there are any infamous laser action going on, and boy did I see one. Once, the Indonesian team was attacking, and bold and big flashes of green botches flashed all over the Malaysian’s goal keeper’s face.

Shameless cock?

Another Cock and Bull production.

1 Malaysia “Koperasi” Run 2010

The (quite awful) T-shirt design

It was last Sunday, 19th of December 2010, when Thaya and I took part in the 1 Malaysia “Koperasi” Run. This was the first time we ran 7 km, 2 km more than our previous run. Wow, in retrospect, I can’t believe I could actually run that far. It was a great feeling of accomplishment.

Last time around, the 1 Malaysia Run which was 5 km long took us 38 minutes to complete. And I was told by my mom that I was pathetically slow. Thank you mom.

This time, due to the additional 2 km, I had roughly estimated my time to be approximately 1 hour. But guess what, my friend and I did way better than we expected.

We clocked in at 42 minutes. 42 minutes to finish a 7 km run! That’s averagely 1 km every 6 minutes. Not bad at all. *nose held high*. I guess those walking breaks really did work.

Rusty juice

One of a kind juice…

Have you come across a juice called rusty juice or “Jus Karat”? Well I have, in a menu that is. Spotted at an undisclosed mamak stall in Shah Alam. Let me give you a hint, the name of the mamak stall starts with “I”.

You can have rusty juice or rusty milk juice

People Studying

Some of you…

For the past couple of weeks, I have been doing it for more than half of my days. It’s really amusing to see how people react and respond to something. I have been to shopping malls, streets, colleges, etc. There’s always a certain pattern of responding or reacting, which are done by people unintentionally as much as intentionally.


Being a promoter allows me to do this. Everyday is a new study case for me. Truly, it is a lot of fun to sell something to the public; it grants me a license to talk to anybody and everybody. Somehow, meeting new people everyday is also a thing quite nice, and often times motivating, to me.


Fret not. I’m not those kind of credit card sellers who cling on to passersby like how stubborn stains cling on to shirts, at the same time hurling out almost inexplicably fast paced mumbling that can only rival that of the chipmunk (the cartoony type). No offence credit card sellers. I’m actually pointing out your good points.


I would try to gain your attention, and if I see a beacon of hope, I will try to go in for the kill, err sell. But, if I see the slightest negation from your body language or response, I would gladly and willingly let go.


Throughout the weeks, I’ve seen and heard many reactions to my approaching people.


Let’s see some responses given by strangers to me. Most of them apply to people passing or walking by. The following categories can apply to all of you as I’m sure you’ve been approached by people like me before. See which category you fall into.

1 Malaysia Run 2010 at Dataran Merdeka

Run baby run! My second run.

People wearing white t-shirts with the word “Maybank” adorning the fronts were ubiquitous at Masjid Jamek LRT Station. They were all heading to Dataran Merdeka. Then I realized that Merdeka Square was actually nearer to Masjid Jamek than Pasar Seni LRT! My earlier post about the run was a bit misleading.

Realizing my misjudgment, I quickly phoned my friend Thaya to tell him to stop at Masjid Jamek instead of Pasar Seni. Lucky thing he was still in the LRT.

We arrived at the venue before 7:30 am, and since we didn’t register, we didn’t have the shirts, or the running numbers. So we made our way to the registration booth.

North America has 10% more of what than Africa?

Fly FM’s “Wake Up Your Brain “Contest

This is the question in Fly FM’s Pagi Show right now.


Hmm, the questions seem to get tougher and tougher. Now it covers not just kids, but countries! How on earth do we listeners find an answer to such a gargantuan question? My guess is that the prize would easily snowball to the thousand mark.


To answer the question, we first have to understand what is North America and what is Africa. I’m quite sure most of you wouldn’t know much about North America. No worries, we always have Wikipedia, the still legal, still functional, still respected, still neutral cousin of WikiLeaks.


Did you know that there are actually 23 countries in North America? Did I hear a “wow” or maybe “wah”(malaysian style).

North America

1 Malaysia Run

Not for the first time ever, there will be a 1 Malaysia Run in Malaysia! Yes, there have been some 1 Malaysia Runs until now. Didn’t know before this? At least now you do.

1 Malaysia is a concept no longer foreign to Malaysians. It is the brainchild of our prime minister himself. The purpose of this run is of course to cultivate a healthy living and to promote racial harmony. What a good way to do these, with sports.

It will be an event hosted by YAKEB (National Athletes Welfare Foundation) on the 11th of December. The good news is, you can participate in this event no matter where you are in Malaysia because it is going to be a nationwide event. So fear not, even if you’re staying in the jungle or holidaying in the jungle, you can still play your part. Every state will be having their own 1 Malaysia Run. Hooray. What a nice concept.

I wanted more details about the event but the YAKEB website doesn’t seem to be helpful. Anyway, you can go to YAKEB’s website to check out the error. Wonder if they know that their system is faulty.

The run will be flagged off at Dataran Merdeka at 7:30 am. Guess who will do the flagging off? Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, patron of YAKEB .

To all lazy bums out there, this is a chance to prove your bums wrong. I’m challenging myself also.

The fall of Fall

A Story

Fall stood ominously majestic, smacked in the middle of bustling Shah Alam. It was a building of 4 floors, and relatively new - just less than 2 years old. Strangely, it was quite strange that a building should be named Fall, or named after the word “fall”. After all, this four letter word sounds a tat negative, if not pessimistic. Could it be that it was built to signify that all things would eventually “fall” and break down, or was it built for a more sinister purpose?
If you looked around the building, the question would be self-answered. Neighboring the arcane Fall are Spring, Summer and Winter. Together, they form CETNI, a company that had recently spread its wings to Malaysia.
Inside Fall, SNAIPTCA was flying around, adapting to her new surroundings. Having past 3 stages of egg, larva(the toughest phase), and pupa(the most relaxing phase), she matured into a full fledged blood-sucking machine.
Like her other innumerable siblings, LEVELA and TAMSUA, just to name a couple, SNAIPTCA had a predilection towards blood. Heck, she cannot live without it! And the only source from which she could satiate her 2 in 1 package of hunger and thirst would be those two legged aliens in Fall.

ChillsXtra

ChillsXtra is a page of miscellaneous things. Things that are extra. Many a time, we would find something extra in life. These little extra things could be insignificant, but still they are a part of us. Treasure them, no matter how small they are. Thus, this explains the purpose of ChillsXtra, dedicated to the small things in my life. Many things would go in there soon. For now, there is the custom cursor – black ship.

Tired of seeing the same old white cursor on your screen? Perhaps is a time for change…XD

Go to ChillsXtra to have a look yourself.

Lucky and unlucky

Unlucky can be lucky, and vice versa

You might say,

“Today is my lucky day, I found 1 ringgit note by the road.”

In contrast, you might also say,

“Today is my unlucky day, I tripped and fell on a dog poo.”

The difference between lucky and unlucky, what is it?

The most disgusting cock?

A Question and Answer.

Question: Who is the most disgusting cock ever?


Answer: Cock-roach.

Eww!

A curios incident

The queue at the escalator

A line was building up before the escalator,

A machine that wasn’t moving as it should,

A figure was at the front of the line of the crowd,

A leader of the bewildered crowd, albeit a slow one.

Tic-Tac-Toe

A game of crosses and circles

It’s everybody’s favorite childhood game. Tic-Tac-Toe. It even has a tacky tone that sticks to your tongue. The in and outs of this game will be understood by one when one reaches a certain age. Hopefully you’re in the know about the intricacies of this game too; if not, then I really don’t know what to say of you.

Worthy book, so worthwhile.

Have you heard, there’s a new book in town,
great deals and great discounts, a waste for you to not own,
A book no less, but more on vouchers and coupons,
A melting pot of major brands for you to stumble upon.

New pages added.

Hooray! I’ve expanded this blog to include more pages, and you bet more is coming up. The most recently added page is ChillsContests, the place where you can test your luck. Another page would be ChillsBooks, where I keep track of my own readings. The pages would be updated periodically.

Its now RM 3,500…and counting

This is really getting insane. It’s still snowballing! And given the wrong answers like the ones today, I reckon the it could snowball to RM 4,000 with ease.

This is bad news for the callers today, but good news for the rest. A reason why you should be in the game.
I tried calling today, and even yesterday, but I didn’t get through. Maybe it was beginner’s luck the first time I tried. Or maybe the callers increased in direct proportion to the total prize money.

The only wrong answer today that I remembered was “pet”, which is obviously one of the wrong answers. Sigh, these people should really do some research before they call in. The other two wrong answers left an impact so infinitesimal in my mind that I could not help but forget.

So the question is still open for challengers.

Are you up to the challenge?

A Question that’s worth RM 3,400 and counting…

What do 52% of kids under 18 own?!(ended)

You may be thinking – so this is the question that’s worth three freakin’ thousand plus ringgit Malaysia? Yes, its true. I kid you not.


But the question is simple right? Just Google or look it up in the web, surely it came from some survey out there. WRONG. If it is so easy, it wouldn’t have snowballed to this.


I’m sure you want to know how to win it too. And the good news is – you can try your luck in this contest!

What a lucid experience!

A The Cock and The Bull True Story

I emerged from a shop. I can’t remember what shop it was, but it could’ve been a cyber café or photocopy shop. Looking out from inside the shop, I could see some cars on the road. It was quite hot and bright a day. Strangely, the element of heat was missing.


Suddenly, I have the thought of going out onto the road to stand in the middle of it. As soon as I stepped on the road, there weren’t any cars left. The thought of getting hit by a car was in vain. 


Why did I thought of getting myself killed? Aha! Then the answer just flowed into my mind.

Assumption

Assumption, assumption, assumption…

What do you think of the blog title “The Cock and The Bull”? For some people who are searching the web for those words, they’ll think that its related to dirty stuff, though I have to admit that this may be true for many websites. If you’re daring, try searching “the cock and the bull” in Google images. Poor things they are, cock and bull. Its natural somehow, to assume. We all do it, sometimes without knowing it. .

One down, few more to go…

Just came back from shopping XD

Ahh yes, another 1 down, few more to go. I doubt that I would hold up to my holiday itinerary.  Wooh!! What exhaustion. I went to Ampang Point just now to buy some stuff. Didn’t know shopping could cause fatigue. I wonder how the opposite sex can even think about shopping as a hobby, don’t they ever get tired? Sometimes, its amazing how shopping can turn girls into superhumans, shopping non-stop for countless of hours. Anyway, I bought nothing much really, just 3 pairs of shoes.

5 brilliant little ways to save money

Little overlooked tips and tricks to help you save money (especially for students).

Eyeing the new iPhone 4G that rocked the tech market recently? Ever wished you can afford to have your dream car? Much time and effort would be needed, but it is definitely not impossible. It is just a question of time.

As the saying goes “money does not grow on trees”, money indeed is hard to come by. The recent economic down turn somewhat made a scar in many people’s wallet. Fortunately, the scar is starting to heal as things are starting to get bullish again. (Bull loves this)

What's next?

HOLIDAYS!!!

Yahoo!! (I wonder whether thats what the founders of yahoo.com felt when they first came up with the company), my holidays have officially started, starting today. After another 4 months of education and 1 week of some extra work, I'm now on a much needed break till next year.

Skepticism and critical thinking

What if what you think you know are mostly untrue? Are you ready to accept a paradigm shift of knowledge?

Heard of nutritional supplements, detoxification, energy levels, modern day healing, and the phrase “boost your immune system”? Well, I’m not surprised. All these methods of improving health are as common as computers, but do you know the real deal about these kinds of methods?

Recently, I stumbled upon an interesting video in clearbits.net, which is an open licensed digital media for file sharing.

Check this website out at www.clearbits.net.

I was scrolling through the weekly contents when a short movie entitled “Here Be Dragons” caught my eyes. In short, it is a movie about critical thinking, pseudoscience, and skepticism all meshed into one big logical video.

Believe me, you’ll find many surprises in this video that would make you go “Hey, I’m using that” or “Oh my God, I didn’t know that, and its definitely good to know”. For those naturally skeptical, you may think that this is one of the bull’s product (if you don’t get this, read my second post).

If you have 40 minutes to spare, watch this interesting movie below, or else, take some time off to watch it.

First things first

ORIGINALITY

A cock and a bull are one,

a tyro at blogging it certainly is,

at times out comes the bull shit,

at times out cocks splendor.

The blog is up and running, but there are a few things that should be addressed. I'm going to bring some change to this page. Don't we all like change? Change is here, happening now, happening everywhere.

So, the first thing to do is to change the outlook of this page. As you noticed, I changed the blog title to make it a bit more my style or less "skema". Next thing in my "change itinerary" is to experiment with different backgrounds, like the current one. Nothing complex is used to produce these, just simple photoshoping. I'm not saying that the existing backgrounds and designs are sucky or bad(in fact I think they're great!), its just that I like to see my own creation on my page, something that's unique to me, something that identifies me. 

Call it originality, yes, that's what I would like to have, and that's what people should continue to produce in their blogs and works. At the end of the day, no matter what you're trying to achieve, try putting some originality into it, and you may just work wonders. It has a different feeling when you're doing something on your own and seeing your work being displayed. Admiring the end product would give you tons of satisfaction. Just give it a try and you'll understand what I mean. As a suggestion, you could try making your own blog title rather than the build in display-words-only kind. Good luck! :)

"Stay original. Like original."

!

Attention to all - a new blog is in the sphere!!! Attention getters should be simple and catching. Words may not be the best way to attract attention at times, hence the symbol "!". The exclamation mark can have a multitude of meanings, from expressing feelings like anger and ecstasy to ominously warning people about the danger ahead. It is also used in computer programming as the "not" logical operator.

The inception of this blog comes with a purpose - to plant seeds into your subconscious minds (just like how inception does), not! It is just a place to be to see the world from my cockpit. Speaking of cockpit, it reminds me of a discussion I had with my friends a few days back. We had a sudden epiphany of wordplay which led us to topics of condom and porn. But do not get excited just yet as we shall not dwell into the latter(sorry if it is anti-climatic). Just for your information, this discussion was one of educational and not like what some of you might think. We thought that a condom brand with the name of cockpit would be apt and quick selling. Imagine this advertisement:

COCKPIT

[A picture of cockpit shaped condom]

Now you're in control!

Better streamlined shape for turbulent rides.

A good way of using your imagination...Now laugh at that.
