After few times of going for movies ALONE, (yes, I went to few other movies alone after The Book of Eli but didn’t put up any review ehe. Oh yea, Legion sucks!) this time I may have the chance to watch it with bunch of cool peeps~!
Annna is thinking of having a movie gathering at MBO Cineplex, The Spring!
Hey, count me in lah!
Other posts can wait, this one cannot.
Blurred screenshot of my Twitter account
First time getting pimped by The Star, together with other Sarawakian bloggers like Kenny Sia, Dine with Annna – Anna Bella Wong , Mum-mum: Eat Eat – Rowena Tan, Sixthseal – Huai Bin and Lolly Raja, founder of Kelabit Wiki Project.
Although no mention of my blog name and address in the paper version, (The Star later includes it in the online version), I was quoted in few paragraphs (very politically correct one). Let me quote one for you guys:
“I am a proud Sarawakian. Sarawak has so much to share with the people out there and I feel obliged to share all the good and bad things about this place so people can learn, gain or make something out of it.“
And they put up my handsome face HAHA! (Thank you Ras, gambar diambik ko juak dipake aku hahah!) Let’s hope #yorais doesn’t read today’s paper. Oh ya, I bought my The Star paper today, after not doing so for so long. Ehem, you know why I don’t buy The Star all this while hehehe 
So, grab a copy of The Star today, because I am in it! Star Two pullout, pg 2 and pg. 3. Just don’t read too much on the news inside the Nation pullout eg. Umno’s doors ‘never shut’ 
It was a normal routine, me poking fun at political dinosaurs, weird-stupid-ridiculous statements and news happening in Malaysia…
Just like the other day, I was tweeting away on #themissingrmafengine, #bendera, #hamsoR, #BImoviesinBM, #dinorais, #easilyconfused, #jibby, #macha etc. There are few regulars who would contribute to the ‘topic of the day’ – @kavilan, @anthraxxxx, @Asohan, @CKGord, @Aisehman, @stephendoss, @altimet, @victorliew, @plenteh – just to name few. What else to keep us entertained on any boring working day but some good laughs, right? Let’s worry about the work productivity later..
“Saya kata jangan….”
Rais Yatim has been consistently making headlines for the wrong reasons and his recent remark on social medias – Facebook and Twitter is just too juicy to bite on. Malaysian tweeple have been tweeting about Rais Yatim and his culturedly ancient views for the past few days, and #dinorais was used to refer to tweets about him.
Well, probably it was not catchy enough but yesterday, after I sent out a tweet with the hashtag #yorais, Malaysian tweeple went amok and the rest is history.
The first #yorais tweet
Few trivias on #yorais
1. Rais Yatim doesn’t have a Twitter account, yet his name made it to the top 3 Twitter trending topics.
2. Rais Yatim is probably right that Malaysians are too immersed with Facebook and Twitter lol. Either that or Malaysians love him to bits…
3. #yorais is a parody of the famous Yo Momma jokes, but creative tweeple came up with various versions of it – your eyes, you raise, your ass, nyior ais (iced nyior ) – making fun of the pronunciation along the way. The funniest one must be by @duuuhvina : ♫ #yorais me up, so i can stand on mountains ♫
Read up blog posts by these awesome tweeple on how #yorais took Twitter by a storm stories:

ps: I’m not sure whether #yorais making it to the Twitter trending topics is actually a good thing or not, since we are exhibiting our lame duck, backward and out of touch with reality Information Minister for the whole world to see. *weak smile* Good thing is, it unites Malaysians in a perverse kind of way…
People always ask me:
“Why don’t you write more about yourself in your blog? Your political craps really boring. “
Or they would say something along the line:
“I love to read things about you. You should write more about yourself. Especially posts about you growing up as a kid, memories and life when you were in school, your everyday’s life, your job. I find those personal posts more interesting. “
Or they would say.
“Your blog sucks donkey’s cock. “
Or they would say nothing at all.
“………..”
Well, I can’t do much about my blog sucking donkey’s cock so as long as the donkey is happy I’m happy. You can take the donkey’s place if you want to be happy.
I can’t do much about silent readers also, I can only go “………..”
For those who love reading my posts minus those ‘controversial-longwinded-boring-political’ craps, well thank you. That’s very nice. Em, and I have an ‘excuse’ why I don’t write those posts that you “love a lot” very often. I also can think of a reason why people love to read such posts.
I’m not an exhibitionist. I am more to a narcissist.
Exhibitionist. Ehem, I’m not talking about bodily exposure to get some kind of sexual gratification (ha! I know you googled for it! ), but more on the act to exhibit own’s personal life so as to attract attention, in this case writing about it in your blog. To put it in a crude way, attention seeker. ROTFLMAO!
An exhibitionist blogger loves to show off share his personal life with his readers. Think of actors. Or singers. An exhibitionist is a performer. It is about putting something out for others to see or appreciate. Nothing is wrong with that.
You can write about the food you just ate, what your boyfriend/girlfriend did to you last night, your new makeup, your new shoes, your flirtatious moment with the girl you met in LRT and many more personal stuffs and rest assured, that’s perfectly fine. I do that from time to time. So, yes please continue with your style. *making random gestures*
Narcissist. That’s self love. Don’t confuse narcissist with exhibitionist. A narcisssist loves himself (or things about himself) more than anyone (or anything) else. He doesn’t feel the need to get acknowledged by anyone for things he did, (in this case, the posts he wrote), it’s good enough if he himself is happy with the result. It is for self satisfaction. Think of masturbation, yes. You will get the concept.
Blog readers who love personal posts are voyeurs.
I always suspect blog readers who love personal blogs are into some kind voyeurism. The need to know more about someone, what he ate for lunch, where he went to during the weekend, who he’s dating now, what handbag she’s using etc. It is like getting kick from spying on people’s life. In this case, you don’t have to spy, it’s there for you to see. Exhibitionists complement voyeurs perfectly.
Actually, I want to write more about this blogger vs reader thing. But the clock is ticking closer to 5pm and being a punctual employee I must leave on the dot. We’ll talk about this again, depending on the response. *wink!* See ya!
ps: I can’t believe I came up with such crap. If you don’t understand this post, it’s okay. Me neither. *shrugs*
pss: Now that I really think about it hmmm.. I’m a bit of narcissist and exhibitionist. What do you think?
