The One With Chris Rock (Part 1)

Chris Rock.
Chris Rock is one of the funniest comedian who ever lived. He was ranked 5th on the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time list by Comedy Central in 2004. You may not know him by his name but I'm sure you have seen his face and heard his high-pitched voice. If you still do not know who I'm talking about then shame on you.

Although he didn't have much great movies under his belt but his stand-ups are so good that they made Russell Peters' looked like kindergarten.
Here are some videos from YouTube that can justify my statement there. They are a little vulgar but who cares.

Platonic Friends
Now before you watch this video, you should know what platonic friends means.
platonic - purely spiritual; free from sensual desire, esp. in a relationship between two persons of the opposite sex. (from Dictionary.com)
In this video, he talked about how men do not have platonic friends when women have plenty.

"...I made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the Friend Zone. Oh No!"
How many of you guys out there have experienced the same thing? Haha...I'll be the first to put my hands up.

Toss The Salad
In this video, he talked about how in prison they make a new inmates toss their salad. I know most of you would not know what tossing a salad meant.
Tossing a salad - to lick or eat out from another person's ass. (from UrbanDictionary.com)
That's right. You heard me. It's disgusting but that is what that is happening in prison. It's even worse than sucking another man's dick.

"Hey Jimmy, you got a D. You know what you gotta do."
"NOOoooOooo....noooooooooo....i don't wanna toss the salad...I will read...i will learn to readdd..."
I'm telling you if they implement this in school, everyone will score straight A's.


The HBO special on "Toss The Salad" Chris Rock mentioned in his stand-up.

Chris Rock? Chris rocks!

The One With The MSA CNY reunion dinner

When I decided to come to UK, I kissed CNY celebration goodbye, along with the reunion dinner and everything else that has anything to do with CNY. However, our MSA (Malaysians Student Association) had this "reunion" dinner thingie at New World Restaurant yesterday so I thought "okie, maybe I'll go check it out".

There were around 6 tables of tens altogether so it was crowded in this small restaurant.


"lou sang"


Clearly I didn't expect to be able to "lou sang" in UK so yesterday was kinda fun. At least it was with my "family" in UK so I guess it was kind of reunion.


...the usual suspects...

The One With The Snow


Yes, I know it's been a while. 4 months to be exact. Well, I have been busy with my assignments and exams but mostly it was because I was lazy. Anyway, I have decided to start blogging again so here it is.

Today, it snowed again. Yes, again. It was the second time it snowed in Hull this year. The first time it snowed, it was on the 23rd of January 2007 at around 4am. I know what you're thinking, how the hell would I know that it snowed at 4am. It was because I was still awake studying for my exam. I had a paper the next morning. However, I still managed to spend 20 mins going around snapping some pictures.

this is how it looked like before

That was snow the other day. Today's snow was so little that I didn't bother taking pictures. Actually, it was kinda bad because if it's too little snow, it will turned into mud after it melts which is pretty fast. From my two snow-days experience, I have manage to come up with some advantages and disadvantages of the snow.

Advantages :
1. it's exciting because it's not like you get to see it everyday and especially not for us who are from tropical countries
2. it's very beautiful and pretty to look at and turns the sceneries into instant postcards photos
3. it's fun because if it snows enough, you can get to make snowballs and throw them at your friends
4. if it snows more, you can even build a snowman!
5. and if it snows even more, classes might be canceled which is even better

Disadvantages :
1. it may get a little cold, sometimes too cold until it spreads to your "special place" >.<"
2. the path will be slippery
3. if it snows too little, like today, it can be a little muddy
4. and the worst thing snow can bring us is how it will make you look like a fool.

Know why? It is because only people like you and I, who have never seen snow before, would come out at 4am in the morning, start taking pictures of the snow
and dance in the snow, smiling like an idiot.
