stupid is as stupid does

stu·pid·i·ty /stuˈpɪdɪti, styu-/ Pronunciation Key - [stoo-pid-i-tee, styoo-]
–noun, plural -ties for 2.
1. the state, quality, or fact of being stupid.
2. a stupid act, notion, speech, etc.


Ok, so starting a post with dictionary definition might be abit heavy. But I couldn’t think of a better way to describe my actions over the past 2 weeks.

A STUPID ACT. Or in my case, ACTS.

Over the past 2 weeks, I pretty much pissed off everybody I knew because I was feeling cranky all the time. And yesterday, I did something abosofuckingly stupid. It was a stupid with a CAPITAL S! don’t know what I was thinking when I did it. Ended up mulling over it the whole day today and no matter how I thought about it, I doubt there will be any way to fix what happened. In a nutshell, I pretty much screwed up one of the best things that was going for me. Sigh.

On a brighter note(this pretty much saved the day from being the WORSE DAY OF MY LIFE), my suggestion on an improvement for a new bike frame that I will be soon be distributor of, was received well and has been implemented into the design before the production.

been reading all the stuff on the blog and i have to say the new bikes are SWEET.

why not run full cable housing for rune? that way we wont have to worry about the cables getting dirty and grimy as the riding conditions here in malaysia are unpredictable. sunny and dry can be muddy and wet the next.

just a suggestion.
keep up the good work guys.
i myself am already planning on ordering one once they are in production.

cheers

Full cable housing is a great idea. Someone mentioned running cables through the shock mount on the down tube on the Rampant, that sounds like a good idea too, nice slick cabling! I really like the overall look of the frame, the Nomad doesn't do it for me at all. I love the amount of information on the site too, graphs etc plus explaining things in layman's language. Good work fellas.

I will set up the Rune and Rampant to run with full cable housing, and possibly the pyre too... the simplicity of setting it up and the resistance to grit etc more than beats the slight weight saving in my opinion.

Yeah I have worked out how I am going to redesign the shock mounts on the rune and rampant already to fit cables inside them, and they will look better too!

thanks for all this feedback guys! We want to get a reputation as the riders company, myself and Jay are riders, and we think we know what you guys want... but the more feedback you give us, the better we can cater to your needs!

Thanks,
Keith

I even got a thank you email from Jay Macneil, one of the designers of the frame.

Hopefully this will work out well for me and I won’t screw it up.

Cheers

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

On one lovely afternoon, out of the blue this person asked me if we abunchofcrazyfriends will be friends forever... i was shocked, how dare this person even ask such a question? This person questioned our friendship, the audacity!!! This guy had balls, i'll attest to that, admittedly hanging a bit to the left but he had balls la... IF only I had brought my shoe box... the answers NO lah.. Nothing lasts forever.. But it really depends on what your expectation are from the friendship.. so today I’m gonna share with you guys the general misconception about FRIENDSHIPS and if your lucky might even throw in a one or two or three tips( but that’s only your really really lucky).

Misconception number 1. A friend is there to lend a shoulder to cry on when u feel like crying- this is just a load of crap some guy made up so he could some guy love without being too obvious…
Solution: Go cry to your mom and get a girlfriend/boyfriend

Misconception number 2. A friend is someone who will always be there for u- this is just a load of crap some girl made up so that she could show some gal love without stating the obvious…
Solution: Go get a dog and yeah getting a girlfriend/ boyfriend helps too.

Misconception number 3. A friend is someone u can talk to- this is just some load of crap some homophobic made up so that they wouldn’t have to touch the guy or the girl without stating the obvious…
Solution: Go see a therapist, I can recommend two bastards if any of u guys are interested. the two second year psychology students took my job.. now I’m broke.. was hoping if any of u guys are interested, I might get my job back…BASTARDS.. Was saving up for some skirting, speakers, paint job.. Now gone.. Anyone hiring? Or better yet anyone have cash that they dun want lying around? and one last thing go get a girlfriend/boyfriend.



Here’s what friends are for:

1. Getting really really reallyX10 expensive gifts for your birthday.. Speakin of birthdays....
2. Get them to pay for your movie tickets, when u complain that u don’t have money.
3. At the first chance, never offer to drive your car, let them drive theirs and get a free ride. But so far doesn’t seem to work, guess I just have to try harder, practice does make perfect.
4. Let them pay first for the stuff i.e. food, presents and stuff and then write of the debt as petrol money...
5. Do crazy stuff together that you would not in a million year think of doing like eating steamboat in a park at 1 something in the morning in complete darkness.
6. Having someone in the group get lower marks then u in a quiz or test so that u feel smarter..the sacrifices I make lah..
7. taking 45minutes to plan to make a plan and then another 2 hours to plan the plan..

So far u guys of filled my requirements and therefore my friends.. Haha.

Hey u guys notice the fine print on the circuits paper? It said “see u guys in Mont. Kinabalu”

You've just been Fcuked....or I've Just Been Fcuked.. Like Whtever

FUCK YOU

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck". It is the one magical word which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful) or an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid). As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck".
Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:
1. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
2. Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."
3. Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"
4. Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."
5. Aggression "FUCK YOU!"
6. Disgust "Fuck me."
7. Confusion "What the fuck.......?"
8. Difficulty "I don't understand this fucking business!"
9. Despair "Fucked again..."
10. Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."
11. Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"
12. Lost "Where the fuck are we."
13. Disbelief "UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!"
14. Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"
15. Denial "I didn't fucking do it."
16. Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."
17. Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"
18. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
19. Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"
20. Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
21. Directions "Fuck off."
22. Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"

It can be used in an anatomical description- "He's a fucking asshole."
It can be used to tell time- "It's five fucking thirty."
It can be used in business- "How did I wind up with this fucking job?"
It can be maternal- "Motherfucker."
It can be political- "Fuck Dan Quayle!"

It has also been used by many notable people throughout history:

"What the fuck was that?"
- Mayor of Hiroshima

"Where did all these fucking Indians come from?"
- General Custer

"Where the fuck is all this water coming from?"
- Captain of the Titanic

"That's not a real fucking gun."
- John Lennon

"Who's gonna fucking find out?"
- Richard Nixon

"Heads are going to fucking roll."
- Anne Boleyn

"Let the fucking woman drive."
- Commander of Space Shuttle

"What fucking map?"
- "Challenger," Mark Thatcher

"Any fucking idiot could understand that."
- Albert Einstein

"It does so fucking look like her!"
- Picasso

"How the fuck did you work that out?"
- Pythagoras

"You want what on the fucking ceiling?"
- Michaelangelo

"Fuck a duck."
- Walt Disney

"Why?- Because its fucking there!"
- Edmund Hilary

"I don't suppose its gonna fucking rain?"
- Joan of Arc

"Scattered fucking showers my ass."
- Noah

"I need this parade like I need a fucking hole in my head."
- John F. Kennedy

"Fuck u la."
-Anonymous

"Motherfucker, who the fuck gave u the rights to edit my post"

What is with all this half hearted posts

Man what is happening to all the posts around here
It's like being forced to post something

Yes it's better than nothing (duh! of cos)
But almost every single post around doesn't have a direction (yeah this post is almost turning out as 1 of it)

And another thing about all the secretive posts
Yes this might or might not be a good place to rant but GOSH why even bother posting if it doesn't contain all the juicy details agenda.

I could probably be starting a post that goes like this

Darn today I had a shitty shitty shitty day
Dunno y i did that
Yeah dunno y but it happened
Crap la Y Y Y happening to me
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
T_T
I nvr expected this to happen but shouldn't it be errrm....errrm....
well
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

End

p/s: call XXX-XXXXXXX for details =)


Yeah well I can't say the same for myself that I would feel comfortable posting everything on a page that is open for viewing to everyone and could potentially be the next big thing 1 day =P

Oh well I guess as friends we should be as supportive as we can
You know the deal, if your friend likes it you should like it as well (or is it?)

Darn I don't want this to turn up as another trademark long rant again (yes i think it already is)

Ok well to answer Joshua's question about honesty vs white lies
No 2 situations are identical, they are like snowflakes and have different circumstances
It's up to us to determine which is the best course of action
And yes it's only through experience that we'll be able to deal with this
The truth might hurt but lies might come back and haunt us someday
All in all both might happen in every situation so let's see which is more worthwhile for us to endure right??
And ya this would sound cheesie but only through mistakes that we can improve ourselves hehe (I suppose so)

THIS POST MUST END HERE
I'm supposed to be studying but oh well who am I kidding
I've been telling myself that forever xD

p/s: this isn't meant as an attack to others but i think this blog desperately needs something fresh

pp/s: WHERE ARE THE OTHER BLOGGERS???

the gifts!

for those of you who dont know, my birthday was 4 days ago. as i have said before, this was the best celebration to date. hehe. thanks guys.

this were the lovely gifts that i got. some of it never lasted 24 hours. but i guess that's karma. i broke something for navin's birthday. someone broke something of mine on my birthday. haha. can't say i'm not upset over it, but what's done is done i guess.

the cool presents

The RC chopper that only lasted 20 hours.


The 2 cool tshirts that my sis got me.


A really cute card from my youngest sister.

And a handmade card by Sarah, WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY TODAY SO,

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY SARAH!

I never got round to taking a picture of the LOVELY erasers that my dear friends WENT ALL AROUND THE WORLD to get for me, or off the 1GIGABYTE memory card that i so needed. sorry guys!


tick tock.............

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock,

every second spent sitting here thinking of what to write is another precious second of sleep wasted.

the reasons to why i am even in front of the computer at 1.20 in the morning when i have to be up at 7, seriously escapes me.

maybe its because i am hungry.

maybe its because the weather is so SCREWED UP.

or maybe its because of some stupid suggestion by an equally stupid person to write something tonight before i go to bed.

i can always choose to write something that is totally uninteresting, like how i've finally gotten a full license, or about, what my plans are for tomorrow.

but no, i sit down here and rack my brain to think of something. i thought about how my day went today.

i know no 2 days can be equally the same, but yesterday and today were like opposite ends of the spectrum. like the north and south pole. black and white. one day you feel like u're on top of the world. next, your face is in the dust. haha.

but when that happens, you know that there will be someone there who will be there to pick you up, slap you in the face and say, "dont be stupid, it was your choice. you could have chose to stop anytime but you just continued with it. so take it like a man."

does anything that i am writing right now make sense to anyone of you? i myself dont know what i am talking about. haha. its late. the morning air is sort of like a drug. i suddenly dont feel sleepy anymore. hehe.

on a whole other note, i want to know something.
is it better to lie to protect someone's feelings?
or is it best to keep things honest at all times?

what do you guys think?

i used to think, honesty, as cliched as it is, IS THE BEST POLICY.
but after yesterday, my opinion on it has just changed. a little white lie, is not thaaaaaaaaaaat bad, if you are trying to keep someone happy, right?
but wouldnt the person you are lying to be even more unhappy to find out that he/she was being lied to?

if any of you had the perseverance and read this till the end, do let me know what you think alright. haha.

till my next nonsensical rant,
cheers

things that i dont get..

There are just so many things that i do not get at this very moment..even things that i should be so so so so so(i typed this so fast that i'm amazed it did'n turn out to be sososososos) sure about it..

Around a year a go, a friend once told me a little secret..we laughed it off that time but little did we know,how it has come back to haunt. It is a very scary thing to think that even the most impossible thing is also bound to happen and you have no control over it.
As much as we want something to happen, it doesn't and when we least expect things,it just HAPPENS

On another note, experience in life are so valuable that it will make u choose it ten times even over the most expensive stuffs like Oakley,Tarzan eraser or even helicopters. SO the advice is learn from other's experience ; Good or bad or just simply normal, coz none of us will be living that long enough to experience( damn i keep spelling experience 'experince') all of it.
Im learning as well coz there are some things u will never, never want to experince(there i go again) it.

Things are changing, either we like it or not..for better or worse, we will find out..but what is sure is that we got to appreciate what we have and not regretting the paths we chose..But then again we do it all the time dont we..

damn,i feel like i wana catch cold..itz so late in the morning and i miss sun so much already.Thanks to a wonderful request by a fanthenotstic friend, i am sitting here and narrating a story to people who are gona swear not to return to this web ever again..haha..sorry guys.

itz goin to be a very tough special sem and we are moving into our final 3 weeks. Wishing you people good luck and all the best. And as what a Dean List student said to me
"Itz not how u score that matters, itz scoring that matters the most."

Gotta go catch some good sleep now..will hit back to the dashboard with surely better stories the next time.



zooming away with still a full license
navin

another stolen article.

WHEN cooking spaghetti, tie all the ends together. That way you can eat it in one long suck, eliminating the drudgery of washing up knives and forks.

ESTATE agents. Please look up the words luxurious, stunning and spacious in a dictionary so as I don't have to spend my weekends being shown around badly-built shoeboxes.

HOSPITAL patients. Arrive for your appointment two hours after the assigned arrival time. That way, you will only have to wait an hour for your doctor to see you.


EXPERIENCE the thrills of a skiing holiday without the expense. Simply sellotape two planks of wood to your feet, sit in your freezer for three hours, then run into a tree as fast as you can.

BASEBALL cap manufacturers. Save the wearer the bother of turning your caps round by putting the peak on the other side.


MOTORISTS Always have a hot curry puff in your hands in heavy traffic. Each time the traffic grinds to a halt, just reach for the puff. The instant you place it to your lips the traffic begins to move. This also works well with the molten lava apple pies from McDonalds.


BOILED EGGS cut in half vertically, and with the yolk removed, make ideal miniature porcelain-style urinals for hamsters and guinea pigs.

LADY drivers. Draw a little diagram on a Post-it note showing the position of the handbrake and gearstick, and stick it to your dashboard. This will save you having to look for them when the lights go green.

SUPERMARKETS. Help promote healthy living by putting your cakes, ice creams, pies etc. in aisles that are too narrow for fat people to fit through.

JAMES BOND. Never show any pain when receiving the beating of a lifetime, but wince when having your wounds tended by a woman.

TEENAGERS. Stop your trousers from falling halfway down your arse by wearing a strip of perforated leather with a buckle around your waist.

TEENAGERS. When buying trousers, choose a pair which stop around about your ankles as opposed to some point about 10 inches further on.


thank you guys! (and girls, of course) =p

well, my teen days were officially over when the clock struck 12 on the 30th of may...............................................................................................................
......................................................................................................................
.........................................................................................

i'm having WRITER'S BLOCK! or maybe i'm just too lazy to think of something to write. hehe.

i really have no idea what to write about. its been awhile since i last had a blog entry. more than 3 months and 20 days to be exact. haha. i just thought that this blog needed something new. and i was bored out of my mind on a friday night.

thank you guys for everything. what you guys did was SUPER, to say the least. best birthday celebration thus far.

to be honest, i was kinda disappointed that you guys TOOK SOOOO LONG! =P

but well, the wait paid off didnt it. hehe.

love you guys to bits!!
