My car's roadtax expired on the 5th of April this year. So, I went to the bank where my grant is being kept to get it, in order to get my roadtax renewed. There the nice little lady tells me that I do not need it, the bank can arrange to get the roadtax done for a small extra charge. I thought to myself, "sound good" but let me check on the extra charges. There is a tendency for small charges to become big charges, so it is always better to check it out first.
The extra charges as explained, is $10 for the rider who does the roadtax renewal, and another $10 for the courier service to send the roadtax to the bank where I can pick it up. Estimate time of renewal 2 days max. So I paid the fees and waited. Oh yeah, another thing, I had to call the bank in 2 days time to check if the roadtax has arrived. Thats the one thing I thought was really a let down. The bank should be the one calling the owners to tell them the roadtax has arrived instead of us playing roulette by calling everynow and then to check if the roadtax arrived. Oh well, it still is a very convenient service.
So anyways, put in the renewal request on Friday Morning, and was told it will be ready by Tuesday.
It is now Friday....and guess what, my roadtax is still not ready!!
Why?
Lets see...when I got the car, I bought a ONE year insurance policy for the car, but my salesman got a 6 MONTH roadtax only. So my roadtax expired in April, and while my insurance expires in September. So by since my roadtax expires in April, it means that I only have a balance of 5 months with my insurance, so I cant get the roadtax renewed as I needed a minimum of 6 MONTHS.
To be continued.....

Joy Sellers
I am sure you all have heard of joy bidders/buyers before, but have anyone else experienced a joy seller? I can only assume it's still happens on a smaller scale compared to the joy buyers, but it does happen.
What is a joy seller you might be asking? Well that a moron who promises to sell to you, only to later on, change his/her mind and not sell to you. There are reasons as to why this happens, some are pranks, some get better offers and some are generally asses.Let me tell you bout my experience with one.
I wanted (still want) to buy the updated version Clarion car player made for the Waja which can play MP3s, as mine had the previous model which was a normal player. The reason I wanted a Clarion version was that the controls on the steering wheel will only work on this particular Clarion model.
So I posted an ad asking anyone who wanted one, to let me know plus the price. I get a reply from this moron, Ben a few days later, and AGREE to pay $250 for the player. The only catch was I had to drive for 3 hours to his place and get it, which I was fine with. So I drive up, and waited at the agreed spot.
Then, the moron, does not answer his phone, sms and in the end swtiched his mobile off. So I had just wasted alot of petrol, 3 hours...make that 6 hours, toll fares both ways and do not forget the wear and tear of driving for 6 hours.
Next day, the moron texted me, saying he got a better offer, so he sold it to his friend. WTF, could you not have told me that before?! I didnt have to waste my time and money for nothing!!
Argh, joy sellers. This guy had no respect for his own promises and me. I wasted my time and money which I will not make back, and I did not even get an apology. If ever, I meet this guy or find him selling anything, he is blacklisted from my book, and I'll email the farking website to inform them of my experience with him!

Tenacious D - Tribute Lyrics
This is one of the songs I loved during my working days with the government. Its a classic...unlike any other songs.
Tenacious D: Tribute
This is the greatest and best song in the world. . . tribute.
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,...
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden,
there shined a shiny demon...
in the middle...
of the road.
And he said:
"Play the best song in the world,
or I'll eat your souls."
Well me and Kyle,... we looked at each other,
and we each said...
"Okay."
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World,
it was The Best Song in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two,
two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
and the grass doth grow oooh
Needless to say,
the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his whippet tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us:
"BE you angels?"
And we said,
"Nay.
We are but men
Rock!!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahn,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, No
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, No.
No!
This is a tribute, oh,
To The Greatest Song in the World,
All right!
It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right!
And it was the best mother fuckin' song,
The Greatest Song in the world!
Allllllright!
'Ti Tuga digga tu Gi Friba fligugibu Uh Fligugigbu Uh Di Ei Friba Du Gi Fligu fligugigugi Flilibili Ah
(Bow) (Bow) (Bow) (Ooh) (Bow) (Bi)
Fligu wene mamamana Sacrebleu!
(Mene) (LUCIFER)!
(guitar solo)
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song!
This is just a tribute!
You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there!
Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck!
Good God, God lovin' ,
So surprised to find you can't stop me,now.
I'm on fire
O hallelujah I'm found! Rich motherfucker compadre
(Demonic)aaaaah!
All right!
All right!

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
This is NOT a review.
I watched it last night...after finding the dvd while cleaning with my room.
I watched it for all of a good 13 minutes. Then I, took the dvd out, slided it back into it's cover and threw it into the dustbin.
Yes, the movie was that bad.
Beyond horrible. The person who made this movie, must have been blind, cause if he had taken a few minutes to review the movie, he would just burnt it, and gone home. I bet even the movie producers, executives did not bother to watch the movie before letting it be release to the general public.
Kristin Kreuk...and even Micheal Clarke Duncan could not save this movie.

Queen: Who Wants To Live On Forever Lyrics
More reminiscing...this song was made popular by the movie, Highlander. That was a great movie!
Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
There's no time for us

Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Reminiscing.....and ranting bout Football!
I've been reminiscing on my old school days, which was like 13 years ago.
I started thinking bout the good old days since I met up with my old school buddies.
I had a truly good and wonderful time in both primary and secondary school. Alot of friends were made, ALOT of good memories as well.
The one thing I remember the most was that, no matter the time, we were always playing football, either in the school field or classroom. We even played football using our fingers as legs, and a paper ball on the class desk. We simply loved the game, and back then it was all about the game. We never knew how much a player made, who was the players wife or if he had an affair or a few dozens. It was all about the game...which is a far cry from today's view on the game.
For example, The Sun newspaper Malaysia, post write ups on WAGS..in the sport section. Do I look a guy who wants to know who is married to her? Has she even played the game...or even know what football is? Why is the posting/printing/write up of a WAG important to the game? As long as the player can play, thats fine by me and it does not bother me if he is married to a donkey for all I care. In fact, I think, that would interest me more that a WAG!
Plus, the amount of money being thrown around, is simply amazing. WOW...never knew a player could be worth $25 million and be known as "the glass man". Would you pay $25 million for even a statue made of glass? +HINT: YES, IT BREAKS EVER SO EASILY!!+ Jeez, you think, how many children who are without food and water that we could feed on $25 million...and it makes you wonder, what the hell was someone thinking?!
Football....great game, but too many hands are surely spoiling the game, taking the focus off field and into the unknown, the unwanted, the wasted. The focus should be on the game, and the game, and not the damn wife, what car the player drives, where their children goes to school, where they stay, how much they make, how much they drink, how many affairs/sex scandals they have, how many they spend on holidays, where they go for holidays, what they do when they are at home, what they do in the toilet, etc etc etc.
Jeez, it's ONLY the game that I am interested in!

Its April.....and I'm way behind in my posting..again!
3 post for March...and mostly then it was one liners.
I really gotta buck up and really start posting more interesting stuff, and more frequently..instead of one or two posts every now and then.
Ahh...I really do need to get motivated!
