Are you for show G?

Yesterday or the day before I read in Utusan about a Minister who was concern about Bukit Bintang's image, tarnished by the illegal pimping (like there's legal pimping anyways) that's going on in that area. The Minister feared that this might draw the tourists away from Bukit Bintang coz these tourists might feel that it is not safe to hang around or clubbing in BB, bcoz of the hoe's presence.

I simply don't understand why the pimping activities would coz a negative impact on tourism for BB. Look at Thailand for instance, European men go there just bcoz they know that they can have sex with underage Asian girls on the cheap. They basically have to pay the price of a 2 litre Coca-Cola bottle to have sex. How awesome is that. That's definitely gonna bring in the Euro currency and help improve the country's currency exchange isn't it?

Now if you wanna tell me that it is unethical to do that bcoz Malaysia is an Islamic country whuteva, then why don't you abolish nightclubs and perhaps ban alcohol too. Then Jeslina Hashim can't tell the newspapers that JAIS treated her unfairly, bcoz she can't go to ZOUK in the first place. Warghwarghwargh. "Mak bapak saya cakap saya boleh pakai camni. Kenape JAIS nak hantar saya masuk jail pasal pemakaian x senonoh pulak?" Masalah .. masalah.

Anyhew, there's another article in Utusan that caught my attention. There was this 77 year old dude who shot his neighbor with a rifle bcoz he taught his neighbor was a monkey on a tree near his house. First of all, why the hell is a 77 year old man handling a rifle? You ain't Dick Cheney man. He should know he's already 77 years old and pretty much has useless eyesight, why operate a damn rifle in the first place? I know that old man is practically blind, but it is so hard to distinguish a man from a monkey? Dah aaa jiran sendiri pon x kenal ke?

We all live a weird world where things that make no sense at all keep on occuring. What happened to the old fashioned murder/snatch/rape cases? Bukan dulu byk kes rogol ke? Takkan perogol2 sume mogok kot?

p.s I'm not saying the rapists should start raping people. I was just being sarcastic.

Presentation woes

In the past 2 weeks, I've had 2 big presentations. I haven't had any presentations in English since my English 118 days and that was in Freshman year. There is a huge difference between presenting in English 118 and in a technical communicaions class, EPD 397. In 118, everybody in that class comes from a non-English speaking background and their english sucked just as bad as mine. You don't really give a shit if you make grammatical mistakes or you just can't fine the right words to describe what you're saying; because in that class you are expected to make those silly idiotic errors.

This is definitely not the case in EPD 397. The majority of my classmates are white males (there is one white chick and she's cute too WOWIE). There are a couple of Asians but they are either Asian-Americans or Asians who have lived in the States for a couple of years before going to college. And then there's me, a dude who only started speaking English in Freshman year, or perhaps Sophomore coz most of the time I hanged out with Malaysian anyways so not much of English was used then.

But that was then and this is now. My English is probably 10 times better than it was in Freshman year but still not good enough compared to the Americans. As a matter of fact, like a month ago I had to give a 2 minute talk in front of the class and I was already a nervous wreck. I know it's only 2 minutes but the thing is I have a phobia speaking in front of people.

Yes I do have a fear that people might laugh at me when I talk and this has been going on since the start of my school days or perhaps even kindergarten. If you have read my first couple of writings on this blog, like a year ago or something I wrote about how I got badwool to be the address of my blog. Yes that's how I would pronouce my own name back in day, even until I was 16 years old. Everybody in the class laughed at me, including the teachers everytime I introduced myself. How the hell do you think I felt when even my closest friends were ROFL coz I couldn't say my own name?

It was a month or two after I entered MRSM PC did I first able to pronounce my own name the right way. I remembered during the first week I called Serip, Aswif and he didn't even realize I was calling him. I was the only one in the school who called him Omar (His name is Asrif Omar). But that all changed after a couple of weeks, I actually practiced pronouncing the letter 'r' since elementary/primary school but I only got it right at the age of 16. You heard that? Nak sebut huruf R pon kene practice.

Anyhew, bcoz I had that fear of being laughed at, I was practically shaking in front of those people, both in my group and individual presentation. Both presentation lasted about 15 minutes. I mean my fingers were trembling. Somehow I kept on doing 'uhhh' and 'aaaa'. I could at least practice for the presentation part, but there was still the Question & Answer session. That's the part where I got grilled 'well done'. I just didn't know what to expect from my instructor of my classmates. Sometimes they'll ask you like super hard core questions, that requires you to think outside the box or whuteva.

That's what actually happened during my group presentation. My instructor told commented "That's not what the question is asking you to do. You're suppose to be talking bout how blahblahblah." Kantoi depan sume org. My group was so shocked, we were basically speechless. Didn't know how to defend ourselves.

Thank god for my research paper was about the Environmental Impacts of Using Palm Oil as a Biofuel. My individual presentation wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. None of my classmates no anything about Palm Oil. warghwarghwargh. All of them asked me stupid questions, it wasn't challenging at all. Thank god.

Was I sleepwalking??

I checked my domain and somehow it worked aaa plak. I guess the website yg bagi domain tuh down je for a lil while ... haha gua cuak lebey aaa plak .. terase cam dah jadik bes fren Tai sial haha tenang Tai tenang.

Previously because I owned badrulhisyam.com, everytime somebody keys in badrul hisyam in google, my blog would be #1. Now I guess I just loss the domain that I loved so much haha SS sikit (SS stands for Syok Sendiri btw).

So from now on it's just badwool.blogspot.com je.

FBI finally catches last Osama Bin Laden

Warghwarghwargh .. just playin this picture was taken during the Halloween parade on State St. at my university. This year's celebration wasn't as smashing as it used to be for the last couple of years I've been here. Mr Po-Po (as in the police if u didn't know) wanted to prevent riots and weirds things from occuring; it actually happened bout 2 years ago. Yes Madtowners are crazy people indeed.

What the city of Madison did was charging 5 bucks per head. They said the reason behind this was last year the cost of controlling 100,000 drunk college students was about $400,000; that includes the police, stadium sized lights, etc. I guessed those leher merahs figured that if we charge the kids 5 bucks, we might get half a mil. Throw in a couple of lame concerts by bands nobody has ever heard off, we got ourselves a god damn celebration yeehaa.

Damn those leher merahs. The parade sucked Steve-O's balls for real. First let me say that I wasn't in any costume as the dudes over here weren't in the 'mood'. It's the time of the month kot haha. Men have that too sometimes. I suggested that since everybody yg pegi was in the soccer team why don't we dress as soccer players? We don't have to waste our money buying costumes isn't it? Those lame ass MOFOS ROFL at me.

I was the only one with some Halloween spirit even though I wasn't in my Johnny Depp Pirate wannabe costume. I had the time of my life last year. The dudes I went with were in the mood for some partyin' and I enjoyed every single moment of it. Too bad my last Halloween here (hopefully it's not) in Madison is the lousiest.

MAS loses it

If you look at the picture you'll know what I'm talking about. The fight to be the best Malaysian airline company. MAS has established itself as the frontrunner in this competition as it has been in the airline business for awhile now. I remember the first time I flew with MAS. I was in standard 4 and my family went back to Penang the end of the year school break. But actually that wasn't the main reason why we went back, I was going to have my circumcision ceremony done over there. Everything went smooth and then my dad realizes that it's not a good idea to bring me to KL in the car, coz I'll be sitting at the backsit with my 3 sisters and my crotch would be crammed. My dick would hurt so bad, I would wish " Ohh God .. Why didn't you gave me a vagina???". Therefore, my father bought the flight tickets for me and my mom. Guess what was on my mind when I first stepped into the plane? Like any other man .. I thought about my dick. At least I got an excuse. I had to pull my pants in the crotch area, making sure my pants didn't touch my package. Boys, you would understand the first couple of days of circumcision. It was so embarassing. I couldn't even enjoy my first flight pon.Anyways, back MAS vs AirAsia. AirAsia has established itself as a low budget carrier in Malaysia. I mean they were selling flight tickets for as low as RM9.99. Sape xnak beli. MAS was still the premier airline and AirAsia was just a lousy cheapskate low class airline. But all this changed when AirAsia signed a multi million dollar contract with Manchester United. AirAsia was going to be one of many Manchester United sponsors.I've got to hand it to Tony Fernandes. How he took AirAsia from a debt-ridden airline that was about to go bankcrupt to a very successful company that's making more money than Malaysia Airlines. Tony said so himself, he bought the company for only 1 ringgit, because AirAsia had so many debts to companies such as Petronas, MAS and Malaysian Airports. Nobody's gonna sell an airline company for 1 ringgit if it only owes a couple of hundred bucks. The debts were in millions and millions of ringgit.And now the company's doing so well that they have extended their deal with Man Utd. You can see AirAsia on the advertisement board by the sidelines in Old Trafford. How awesome is that?? Everytime Man Utd plays at home you can see AirAsia displayed on the boards. I know I'm not that patriotic but seeing that just makes me proud of being a Malaysian. Tony Fernandes took AirAsia from the lowest of lows to a height where people had never imagine the airline would go. Now AirAsia is not only doing local flights, they have Indon and Thai branches of AirAsia too. Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, China and Macau are all covered.MAS on the other hand ain't doing so good. They've posted quarterly loss for local flights so many times. I guess they are paying their stewards/ess too much but all stewards/ess do is sleep around and make porn movies. warghwarghwargh. Kidding. Don't wanna get my ass sued. MAS is so jealous of AirAsia's success that they'll do anything to get people to buy their tickets.This is one example. C'mon man. How low can you get?? Malaysian Airlines is suppose to be the pride of the nation. MAS is suppose to carry our country's name along with theirs. But putting their name on somebody's breasts just to get the attention?? If a company like AirAsia can make deals with Man Utd why can't MAS. Even though I like looking at breasts (duuhh), but when I saw MAS's logo on em', I was really embarassed. It's like MAS is so desperate, they'll do whatever it takes to get their tickets sold. I guess the people at MAS figured that since there'll be a lot of people looking at the girls' breasts, then those people will definitely see our logo. Be more professional will ya. Use your freakin brain.
