Frederick von Meowmeow
hey,
there's been this stray cat around my neighbourhood for the past month or so. my neighbour always gives him food (friskies i think) which makes him wanna hangout around here all the time.
well, today as i got home from work, the cat was just sitting (more like licking his b*lls) in my driveway. me being the nice person, goes over and start rubbing the cat's head. the cat was just extremely happy that i did that. it actually didnt want me to stop. everytime i let go of my hand and start to walk in, he'll start meowing (is that even a word?)..
so, i basically had to play with the cat for the next 10 - 15 mins. Finally, when it got too warm inside i decided to go inside and in my head was thinking 'if the cat's gonna follow me in, too bad'.. and sure enough, the cat followed me in.
magically i had some catfood in the kitchen and decided to give this cute little cat sometihng to munch on. he was extremely happy and finished it extremely quick!.. guess he was just hungry. haha..
anyway, i've decided to 'adopt' this cat. i'm gonna provide him food and a belly rub everytime i see him. i'm not gonna keep him in the house as he may leave bodily fluids and sh*t everywhere. and since i'm adopting the cat, i need a name.. yes, you've guessed it.. i'm gonna name the cat FREDERICK Von MEOWMEOW... hahahha..
dont you think that's such a cool name?.. freddie for short by theway. reason for picking the name - nothing specific, but i wanted something that had a mixture of seriousness and cute in it. the 'von' kinda makes him abit more sophisticated, dont you think?. hahaha..
well, after dinner i didnt really see freddie.. guess he must be prowling the streets looking for umm.. female cats.
thats it for me today!.. hope everyone's week turning out okay!!

p/s - did you know that people with pets apparently live longer and are generally happier???

m*laysia book of what??..
hey, morning people..
was reading my daily news at www.thestar.com.my today and saw this article -
Malaysia Book of Records
The daily also reported that a private school principal made it into the Malaysia Book of Records for giving 50 hours of non-stop tuition lessons.
Dr Alan Diva, a 44-year-old from Kluang, Johor, started the lessons on Aug 17 before completing the rare feat on Aug 19.
More than 1,200 students were part of the record. They were divided into 17 groups, each attending a three-hour lesson.
After the lessons, Dr Alan, who looked exhausted, was found to be fit by the medical doctor on stand-by.
During the feat, he had 10-minute food and toilet breaks after teaching for six hours.
...
seriously, we're starting to put ridiculous items in the malaysian book of records. dont get me wrong, i think the book is amazing that it captures Malaysians' amazing feats.. climb mount everest, swim across french channel, first malaysian to win noble prize.. these are all amazing things and i salute those who have the guts and talent to achieve these.
but then you get articles like the one above.. record for giving 50 hour non-stop tuition???>. you call that a record??. he probably did it just so he'd earn alot of money.
and you got all these records on longest / largest / biggest.. food!!!.. we've got the longest sandwich, longest pulut kuning, longest keropok lekor!!.. i mean seriously, its getting a bit ridiculous.
i remember a few years back where a singer got indicted (if you can say that) into the book of records for being the FIRST ARTISTE TO SING AT THE REVOLVING RESTAURANT IN KL TOWER!!!!.. wow, that's just amazing..ly stupid.
i'm surfing the book of records website now to see if there is actually anything worthy of a book of record entry.. (15 minutes later.. i dont have that much research time)... they've divided them into categories and this is what i found..
category - Outstanding achievers.. (there must be something amazing here)
items within it:
1. The highest can stacking record.
2. the biggest dinner gathering.
3. first malaysian solo sailor around the world (worthy entry)
4. world's longest coin line
5. longest malaysian flag displayed on the great wall of china (worthy entry)
6. the most number of trees planted in one minute (what the???)
7. the biggest teh tarik event (due to number of participants. wow.)
8. first malaysians to walk the 'Last Degree' to the North pole (definite worthy entry)
from this category alone you can see how umm.. ridiculous this thing has become. Like i said before, its amazing how some of these entries are achieved (read 'worthy entries'). it takes extra human resilience to do what they've done and i think that is important as a main criteria for entries.
the fact that some people can enter for the 'biggest dinner gathering' is just because these people have nothing better to do than to just be in the book!!.. everyone else in Malaysia are not trying this because unlike some, we would rather do other things than obtain cheap publicity.
i'm not gonna waste my (and yours) time in listing down all the other categories and the entries. however, i did have a quick glance and like i said, there are a number of things which are amazing and are definite worthy entries in the book. .. (first satelite, tallest building, etc).. but then majority of the entries make the book rather childish and dumb. theres even an award for 'FIRST LRT TREASURE HUNT'.. i mean come on!!.. that can't seriously be a worthy entry.
oh well, i guess i'm just bitter that i'm not in the book. wonder if i can create a new entry that i can be first / longest / biggest / largest at.. hmm.. how bout the 'FIRST PERSON TO COMDEMN THE MALAYSIAN BOOK OF RECORDS'???. hahaha.. or the first person to create the word 'carmouflage'.. hmmm.. probably not. oh, how bout 'LONGEST LINE IN A BANK'
anyway, shall not bore you further with my rantings. haha.. i guess what i'm trying to say is that there should be some proper standards for an entry into the Malaysian Book of Records!!.. we are very talented people and i'm sure we can do much better than just 'largest dinner gathering'. how about 'highest number of malaysians enrolled into Harvard'? 'FIrst malaysian to win Noble prize'
having said that, i need to restate the fact (just so that you dont report me to the Ministry of Domestic Affairs or seomthing) that i am extremely proud to be Malaysian and i'm sure we'll do spectacular things for the country!!.. i guess while waiting for that moment to arrive, we have to make do with 'LONGEST STAY WITH SNAKES'..
well, here's wishing everyone a Happy 50th Merdeka!!!..

p/s - for the 'longest hours providing tuition', i wonder how much did the students actually learn???.. isnt that the whole point of the tuition??

so long firhanfikri.multiply.com.. may you rest in peace.
hey..
decided today that i'd remove my 'multiply' site. kinda realised that i dont use it and the URL doesnt really give me anonimity.. (yes, i know posting this here doesnt help either).
plus, it was kinda boring using that anyway!. .haha..
anyway, guess now you have to check out my updates from here!!. woohoo..
had a bad day at work today.. but shall not bore you with the details. lets just say i need a break. haha..
currently hooked on my psp. managed to install a number of games a few weeks back and i'm currently addicted to Hot Shots Golf. this game is amazingly addictive that i play this while i watch tv, before i sleep, while i'm on the pc chatting with people and while i'm in my ummm.. 'library'.. (yea, you know what i'm talking about)..
so currently its a dogfight between my ipod and my psp as my most used gadget!. ahaha..
wonder what gadget to buy next.. hmmm.. my next phone would probably be a sony ericsson P1i. (google it, i'm too lazy to insert a link).
on a different note, my birthday is in OCTOBER!!! do have a look at the wish list on the left side of the screen.. that may give you some shopping ideas. hahaha..
hope you guys have a good week ahead!!..
