Internet TV? Not for Bruneians you tech-greedy monkeys, you. :D

The main feature of Sony's new internet TV is online HD video streaming.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you need a 7mbps (probably more) for your shows or movies to load fast. Guess what, Brunei's broadband goes up to a whopping 0.9mbps. Have fun waiting for a DAY to watch one movie, sucking up the internet for other users.

PS Netflix, Hulu, and most other TV streaming sites have restricted access to their content to only the US. So yeah all you can do with your Internet TV is browse. Have fun.

Spoons and vegetables.

When I order leafy vegetables in restaurants, they give it to me in a plate with a spoon. How can I take my vegetables with a spoon? Do they NOT know what a spoon is for? Do I give you a fork when you order soup? Do I give you knifes when you order chips? Do I give you a dagger when you want to shoot a plane down? Do I give you a PSP when you want to play Pokemon!? Goddamit.

Worst days of my life.

Worried about exams.
Worried about Uni.
Worried about my future.
Worried about my piano aural exams.
Been tired physically from running around too much.
Been tired mentally from thinking too much.
Not much progress in my Japanese proficiency.

Getting old.

Amazon is still not dropping the price on my Blu-Rays.

Video games aren't getting any cheaper.

Fanboy jerks everywhere.

Douchebags in school.

Tons of homework.

TV isn't as good as they used to be.
Music getting more teeth-grating by the release.
Films getting generic by the release.
Video games all delayed.
Teeth not getting any whiter.
Acne not going anywhere.
Rib outlines still visible.
Acne scars everywhere.
Chicken Pox scars everywhere.
Nose still has blackheads.
Voice still unheard.
Knees still look like door knobs.
Hair still dryer than my lips.
Did I mention dry lips?
Allergies acting up since 2008.
Right eye still flaking skin.
Almost legal age. Still not feeling like I want to grow up.
Leaving Brunei in a year. WHO WILL CUT MY HAIR?
Worried of cancer. All cancers.
Worried of diabetes.
Worried of a stroke.
Social levels at a stand-still.
Still mending a broken friendship.
Still harbouring lovey-dovey wishful thoughts.
Still getting mixed signals.
Abandonment issues coming back.
Still no news on the Japan trip.
Secrets I want to share, but alas can't.
Can't find a shop to print my cards.
Can't find a second-hand electone.
Spiritually confused.
*censored* confused.
Still not doing sports, which is bad for my heart.
Thinking of the regrets I've made.

Normally I'm not this kind of person but lately all the stress has been getting to me. The first time I felt like this in years. =( LOL emo teenage rant. Peace.

Technically, that ain't right.

1) A cook is someone that can cook. A chef is a cook that has mastered culinary art and actually has a certificate to certify he is a chef. Ergo, a cook is an umbrella term that includes a chef, along with caterers and fast-food designers.

2) Sitting near a TV and watching from that distance won't hurt your eyes at all. Well, permanently at least. You'll definitely get eye strain and fatigue but it's never permanent. However if you're thinking along the lines of harmful radiation, unless you're still using box TVs and monitors, then your current LED, LCD and Plasma screens are designed not to emit harmful radiation.

3) If a piece of music has no words, it's technically not a song. No, bird songs are different. Birds can't speak, silly. According to Merriam-Webster's definition of a song, a song is poetry given a melody build with the words.

4) Here in Brunei, the age where you are legally an adult is 18. Therefore a Sweet Eighteen is more appropriate than a Sweet Sixteen. However, given how stupid it is to say Sweet Eighteen, I declare it to be renamed 'Epic Eighteen'.

5) A Jacuzzi is not a noun but actually a proper noun and a brand of a hot-tub. Of course over the years, it became generic. Another example would be Escalators, Yo-Yos, Thermos and Zipper.

6) When you use direct heat, with the lid open so all the smoke escapes, you're grilling. When you're using indirect, slow heat; plus closing the cover when putting your meat on the grill, letting the smoke infuse into the meat, giving it a slight charcoal aftertaste, you're doing a barbeque.

7) When you told the waitress you wanted cola, and she gives you a Pepsi, technically she's right. After you didn't say you wanted Coca-Cola. You wanted cola.

8) As of a few years ago, 'homosexual' is now offensive and they'd prefer if you referred to them as gay. Similarly, it's best not to say 'Asian' anymore when referring to a single person. Like.'Oh, he's Asian' I'm sure there're other Asians besides the Chinese.

That's it for now. If I come across with more I'll post a sequel.

Mainstream supremacy.

So I was on this gaming forum and I'm having a discussion about what video games I love. One guy asked 'Hey, what do you think of (some generic FPS)?' I replied that I don't really like that game, or genre and all of a sudden I get flacked not only by that guy but a bunch of people. Out of defence I said 'Dude I didn't say it sucked. I just don't like it.' Eventually their idiocy drove me out of the forum.

Then it hit me. Wow, I wonder that there'll be quite a number that have talked about me behind my back for not liking the South Korean pop culture; Beats headphones; action-heavy, plot-light movies and first-person shooters. People, just because I don't like a certain something does not imply that I think it sucks. Do you go to a restaurant, and the head chef recommends a steak, you say that you don't like steak and the staff yells at you for not ordering steak? "BUY THE F*CKING STEAK YOU CHEAP B*STERD OR GET OUT." I'm pretty sure I'm not alone at this. I'm speaking on behalf of DoTA players, rock music listeners, rom-com lovers, food critics, 'hipster' sport athletes and so on. God-damn mainstream supremacy. I'm not implying that mainstream suck and anti-mainstream is better; vice-versa.There is no 'which is better'. Here's to preferential equality!

So I'm thinking about adding film reviews here.

To prevent any bias from occurring, three reviews of the same film will be posted. During-movie impressions, post-viewing impressions and in-depth analysis. Yeah...
