The One Where I Got Tagged

This is probably the first time I got tagged and knew about. Timothy Teoh, my ex-coursemate back in Alpha during my MMU Malacca days, tagged me in his blog a couple of days ago but I was too busy to respond. He is a fellow Penangite and a Free's. He is one of the few people I keep in touch quite often recently. Mainly because he is an Internet geek like myself and we are practically online 24/7. Anyway the title of the tag is "Six Weird Things". Before I start with my list, I want to stress on the word weird. Weird means odd and unusual. So now I have a question. If something I do which is weird but there are so many other people who do it as well, does it still make it weird? Or is it now a norm and socially accepted? Hahaha...

Six Weird Things :
===============

(i) I, too, enjoys reading in the toilet. This is the thing I was talking about. There are a LOT of people who reads in the toilet. Does it make it socially accepted? I know a lot of people who do it. =p

(ii) I have a huge collection of movies. It's so huge that I can open a video shop! But don't blame me, blame Penang authorities for being so lenient on those pirated VCD vendors.

(iii) I love watching sitcoms and I can watch them over and over again without getting bored. Unfortunately, I do not know much people who watches the same shows as I do. (currently after The Office, Everybody Hates Chris, Lucky Louie, Chapelle's Show)

(iv) Being a Chinese and being called Chin. Yup, that is what they call me over here. Apparently that's my first name, Chin. Good thing it's a real word. Chin is the short form for Chinese over here in the UK. They call us the Chins. 'Chin chin' means penis in Japanese. Masami calls me Chin-face. It could also mean dick face >.<"

(v) Being single and under 30 years old in my class for my masters degree. Most of my coursemates are married and have kids! (was gonna write "are married with kids" but that phrase is ambiguous and disturbing)

(vi) Doing this. Replying to a tag. I guess it's counted. I mean, replying to a tag...that's weird stuff. Normal people don't do that!

The Rules :
=========
(i) direct a link to the guy who tagged you. (Tim)
(ii) list down the top 5 places to eat at your location.
>.<" what the hell...urm..Mc D, Burger King, KFC... I cook my own meals so I guess I have to pass this one.

Tags :
=====
I'm only tagging those I think read my blog and own a blog
(i) Corine
(ii) Chee Kit
(iii) Kah Mun (don't think he'll be reading mine anytime soon though)

The One With The Seven Words

Please be advised that the following contains mature and explicit content that may be sensitive to some readers.

Recently I came across George Carlin,the comedian. He is currently the best comedian that is still living. He was ranked #2 in the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time but the first one has already passed away so that would make him the greatest. Anyway, George Carlin came up with this list of "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television". I don't know whether the seven words are allowed on television now but when he made that list in 1972, I'm sure it wasn't. I have heard this "seven dirty words" bit from many comedies and sitcoms but I never knew that it was made so long ago by George Carlin and I never knew exactly which seven. So I decided to check them out.

The seven words are :
1. shit
2. piss
3. fuck
4. cunt
5. cocksucker
6. motherfucker
7. tits

I agree that most of the words are inappropriate for television but 'shit' and 'piss'?!? I think banning the word 'shit' is a bit harsh. I have been saying 'shit' since standard one!

In an episode of That 70's Show, Eric is seen listening to a George Carlin record and remarks on the list. Later in that episode, Eric refers to Donna's boss using numbers that refer to the list saying, "You 6ing, 7ing monkey 5er. You think your 1 don't stink well 3 off you 3ing 3er." Translation-You motherfucking, titsing monkey cocksucker. You think your shit don't stink well fuck off you fucking fucker.

In another episode of Everybody Hates Chris, Chris got into trouble listening to dirty jokes and when his mother was going to punish him, the narrator cried "number thrrrreeeeeee~~~"

The One When I Dreamt of Home...Twice!

I dreamt that I was back in Malaysia.
Then I dreamt I was back in Malaysia again.
Twice in the same day.
Haven't had much sleep lately.
Perhaps I was just tired.
Or perhaps I have started to miss home...

p.s. nah...I was probably just tired
