How I messed up

Surprisingly, these days I have been admitting my mistakes more easily than I was, say, last month? Or technically, last year. Whatever.

January, 2010. i was at Auto Ciy's McDonald's. After eating, my parents bent to but something to take back.

Before doing that, they put all the fries into two packs(or watever you called them) and left the drinks with them.

While waiting, I decided to rearrange some of the songs on my phone, while my brother just did... nothing. Besides breathing, of course.

Then, a waiter came, andd he CLEARED AWAY ALL THE FOOD. Now, before you regard me as an idiot for not noticing this, bear in mind that I had become so used to seeing waiters clearing food, I forgot that we had to keep the food.

Before long, my father returned. "Where's all the food?!"

Damn.

Fortunately, the kind folk at McD decided to give us another set of drinks. That eased the situation a little.

Yes, mum, I messed up.

Terence Wang would like to thank McDonald(Auto City) for their superb service.

Not-so-good Security

First of all, I'm tired and sleepy and not supposed to be doing this anyway, so this will be short.
Today, as usual, I went ICT class. Turned on the PC, logged in...
And switched on the internet. Withount our teacher's knowledge OR permission.
This, of course, is nothing new. Hundreds of Jit Sin sudents do that. Every week. And yt our school prides itself on being the "mighty anti-student-virus".
To wrap it up, you failed, newbie. And all the better for us.
Now where was I? Oh yes. Tired, sleepy......

Zzzzzzz.

Just to inform all of you...

The post 'Terence Wang on... Idiotic Tuners' is the newest and the only one typed on this blog. The others were from my Facebook page. All posts after this will be from the blog.

National TV

Terence Wang sits down in front of the TV after dinner, as he does daily. Having no Astro, he turns on ntv7. After watching for 15 minutes, he throws the remote... at the TV. He walks off, muttering, "Sh*tters broadcasting sh*t..."


Hello, Terence Wang here. Now I know all of us have problems with national TV. Like, "Oh don't tell me it's that stupid Malay program again." Or, "Why can't they make Chinese programs that are NOT love shows??!!" You get the picture.

And how the more quality shows, like... Chuck? 12:30 midnight. ==

And the problem is, a number of parents are reluctant get something like Astro because:

1. Children will get addicted to it.(although considering nowadays we spend MORE time out of home than in)

2. Too expensive.(Astro??!!! You've got some explaining to do...)

3.It will be under utilised(looks at reason 1... WHAT?)



Still, we can't really blame Astro. And we can only put 20% of the blame on the TV stations becaue they have to make sure 'everyone stays happy'.

So you'll be asking, "Who gets the to-be-blamed award??"

Bammmmm.....

"The parents!!!" (Claps and hoots from the background)

Congratulations, parents!! You've just won the coveted to-be-blamed award!!!

So let's do part 1 again...

Terence Wang sits down in front of the TV after dinner, as he does daily. Having no Astro, he turns on ntv7. After watching for 15 minutes, he throws the remote... at his father. "What was that for??" demands his father. "I don't know! I wanted to throw it at the TV!!"

Ooops.


Terence Wang's father has read this article. He dissaproves.

New Year Special

A reader comes along and opens this page. He sees the title and says: "Not another New Year Special." He ignores it and opens a new page.


That reader was an idiot, and he is better off not reading this. I am NOT going to talk about * "the many great, wonderful things that happened this year. I am also NOT going to talk about * "why 2009... SUCKED platipus sh*t."

I am, simply, going to do tell you the headaches of New Year.

First off, yes, you all know what it is, going Back to School. Listen, I can hear groans already. Yeah, i know what a pain it is, and I sympathise. Every time we go back to school after a holiday, sleepy and irritated, the teachers say: "You guys had a long holiday, yoou all should be nice and fresh. Very funny. I would love to stare at him/her and say: "Go to you-know-where," but unfortunately we have Article 559(Jit Sin students look it up), so I would just stare.

Secondly, Back-To-School sales. Yeah, you all know that one. They are up even at the beginning of December. To sum it up, they make me sick. Here's what happened to me because of it:



Somewhere in the beginning of December, 2009,
A certain shopping mall, B.M.

Terence Wang walks towards a clothes section, trying out his new phone headsets, happy that they work well. He steps in...


And drops his phone. "No," he mutters. "This can't be happening." He rubs his eyes, hoping that it was an illusion. But it wasn't. Right in front of him was a back-to-school banner, advertising uniforms, shoes, etc. On his left was rows of different school uniforms, where several students were reluctantly following their parents around, waiting forever for the to pick 'the right one'. On his right was boxes of school shoes, where everyone was browsing around, looking bored. This was hell. Terence immediately turned around to run out of there, but the entrance had dissapeared! Instead, he was completely surrounded by school uniforms, school shoes, school bags, stationery etc.


Terence falls to ground and faints.

.... Ok, maybe that was a dream. But still.

Have a Happy New Year everyone. I know its hard, but try.



Terence Wang would like to thank all those who have continued to read his articles and have given him feedback, and have given him feedback. He also ask them to notify him (by commenting on any article) if they have any interesting(or funny) topic worth writing about.

*Nigahiga: Off The Pill-2009

BMW and Mercedes-Benz

Some weekend on Penang Island, I am being driven along in my father Toyota Corolla, once again counting the number of BMW and Mercedes cars on the road. 1, 2, 3, 4… 20, 21… 34, 36… Damn, there really are that many aren’t they?


Mercedes-Benz and BMW are great brands. They make fine cars; put together by some of the best engineers Europe can offer. The problem? They are being driven by the wrong people.

Now, you might be thinking (I personally hope not) that I am some guy with resentment towards the rich. It isn’t like that all. People who think like that are retards. The reason I say that is this: Who are the ones who would usually buy a BMW or Mercedes? Business men/women right? And what is the adjective usually associated with them?

Yes, I heard the answer. Bo-ring.

I hear them protesting right now. (Turns to businessmen) Hey, face it. Either you are and you own a BMW, or your boss is and he owns a Merc. Same thing. (Exclude my uncle-he owns a BMW but he could have been a street racer, although he's a banker)

You see, these cars have 2.0 to 5.0 litre engines, but unlike the yobbos in their tuned Protons who gun their engines as loud as possible even though there’s no power at all, they ONLY use a quarter of their oh-so-powerful 6 cylinder engines.

See for yourself. Every time you go on the highway, which are the ones that drive the slowest? Yes, the fat cats in their BMW/ Mercedes. These brands have been about the ride comfort and experience, but they don’t even want to ‘experience’ it.

And there’s the thing about those who buy old Mercedes. You know, those cars that already look old and dated but are still on our streets because there are people who want them. So you and I wonder: Why would anyone want to buy them?

The reason is simple. It is NOT because they like driving. It is the same reason why those fat cats buy them but drive them slowly or even worse, get a chauffeur to drive it. It is something that matters so much to some of us.

Social status.

I bet some of you have figured that out already. Or maybe your dad is a businessman.

Frankly, I don’t believe in social status. Neither should you, readers, if you believe all men are equal. From the people at Wall Street down to the beggar at the night market, they are all the same. No argument on this.

Now, what I’ve written is not to discourage you from buying a Merc or a BMW in the not-to-distant future. Remember, they’re great cars. What I’m asking you not to do is buy one for the sake of status.

(Listens) Those ‘other’ guys are still protesting aren’t they? Hey, shut up!


Terence Wang has a feeling he might be sued and is hiring a lawyer.

The Christmas Commercialisation Conspiracy (Christmas Special)

The Christmas Commercialisation Conspiracy. Has a nice ring to it, no?


I'm typing this at 1 am, Christmas Day. Most of you are asleep, and my Facebook Chat tells me there's only 13 out of my beloved 249 friends online. But let's get on with it.

Some of my more english proficient friends would have figured out the title, which is about the, err, Christmas Commercialisation Conspiracy. Duh. Just look up the dictionary.

For those that have figured that out, you will be wondering: what's the big deal? The big deal is this, my friends. You see because of Christmas, many big private corporations have been given an opportunity. Christmas Sales. Christmas Specials. Christmas Limited Edition Items. And so on.

You probably are still wondering what is the issue. You will be thinking: Yeah, but so what? This is all good, right? Helps the economy and everything.

Ah, it might help the economy, but it also creates a negative impact, that is, destroying the true spirit of Christmas.

You are now thinking: Wait, wait, that's gone too far. But I'm sorry to say no, unfortunately, it hasn't.

You can see it small things, like Merry Christmas turning to Happy Holidays. Christmas signifying Santa, not Jesus. The dissapearing of the Nativity Scene-you can google that-and more.

And this, is rather sad, and rather worrying. I'm not the only one; ask any priest or church-goer that knows about this. And worse still, this article is not going to do much. All I can do is let you, reader, know, and sincerely ask you to pass this on, or Christmas will just turn into another public holiday.

But seeing its Christmas today, lets forget the tough reality and celebrate Christmas, the REAL way. So: Happy Chrismas everyone. And a Merry New Year.

I got that wrong didn't I?


Terence Wang vows to keep on saying 'Merry Christmas' only.

2012

As some of you might have guessed after reading the title (unless you didn’t read it which proves you’re an idiot), I am now talking about disaster movies. So if you have been watching Hannah Montana or Twilight you have to get out of here. Now. I’m serious, get out. For after my first review of New Moon you will be accusing me of being biased and you will be reporting me to the Home Ministry for sedition.


They’re out? Good riddance.

Anyway, back to disaster movies. Some that are working in the film industry (I’m assuming most of you are not) realize that making a disaster movie is actually, a big risk. It requires lots of special effects, lots of acting, and ultimately, lots of money. And at the end, you have to make sure the plot is really good or the movie will be, well, a disaster.

One good example is “The Day The Earth Stood Still’. You haven’t watched it? Don’t. Because that film is predictable, has a horrible plot, and has no feeling. In other words, a real disaster movie. So don’t watch it. Unless you want to watch a disaster movie. I mean literally. Or not. (Hits head) This is confusing. But you know what I mean, right?

So, that movie was bad. Oh, the planes are going to be shot down… yes they’re down. And look, the people are just running around with no sense of direction! And the entire Washington D.C. is still intact! And about the Earth standing still, oh yes it did…. For the last 10 seconds of the movie.

But let’s look on the bright side, they’re not all bad. For example, ‘The Day After Tomorrow’. Now that was a good movie. How do I know? Well, I watched it quite a few years ago, and I can’t forget it. Not many movies do that to me.

However, after that, there really weren’t any good disaster movies that I could remember at all. In fact, the whole industry went downwards with the economy, producing things like…New Moon. Ugh.

But now, I’m happy to say, a good movie is back. 2012. It might be a little fake at times, but it has two things that many disaster movies lacked: Feeling, humour and a good plot. Ok, that’s three. Some people can’t count well, alright?

But I feel that the thing that made this movie stand out was the humour. I mean, quite a few movies had a good plot and feeling, but you can’t find many with all three. Like:

“I can’t start the engine!”

“What do you mean?!!”

“Oh no…”

“Everyone shut up! (Pauses) Engine on. (Bentley engine starts up-looks at driver) “Voice control.”

“Oh.”

You might not really get it here, so watch the film. If you have, you know what I mean.

I know some of those New Moon fans did not listen to my advice and have kept on reading, and are now saying that 2012 is special effects and nothing else. Well, I have only one thing to say: read my disclaimer and walk away.

Now.


Terence Wang challenges those who think they can counter his opinion to comment below, and those who agree with him to also comment.

The Teenage Dilemma

Youth.


Officially, the age for youths are somewhere around 18 to 35. If you’re older than that, you’re an adult. Or a senior citizen. Or let’s start from the beginning, shall we. Babies aged 1 day old to 1 year old are considered… babies. Duh.

For those aged around 2-6, you’re considered a toddler. 7 to 12, a child. There, we’re done. Or are we really?

If you have noticed what’s missing, you are, most probably, one of US. The teens. The oh-so-important age group, yet the least important group of all. I bet many of you readers have many things to say about this, but let’s skip them for a moment because we have heard them many times already.

For those who are slightly (only slightly!) ignorant, let me tell you our real problem, ok. It’s the lack of representatives. Don’t understand? Let me show you an example. In parliament, we have parliamentarians that are already senior citizens. There are adult parliamentarians, youth parliamentarians. They understand their own age group problems and can voice out on behalf. You might add, but what about the teens, the children and the toddlers? Ah, that’s where the problems start. For the children, toddlers and babies, there are many NGOs out there fighting against child abuse and for children rights already. Insufficient, I know, but it’s something.

But what about us? Officially, we’re still considered children, as stated in the Universal Declaration of Children Rights. But many children NGOs, such as UNICEF (google it) have no time for us. Why? Because the children, and I mean those aged 2 to 12, are having too much problems already. Fair enough. But again, what about us? Where does this leave us?

Nowhere, my friends. Nowhere. In many articles, we are labeled as gangsters. Thieves. People who laze about doing nothing. People who can’t think for themselves. They urge parents to stop focusing on money and give their children more time and attention. But do you see anything done? No. Parents continue working, certain teens begin rotting and becoming gangsters, and fingers start pointing at us. Again. It doesn’t matter if you are a bookworm or a drug-taking teen, if you’re a teenager, you’re a Bad Person.

And so, my argument is this. If we can’t have our own representatives, or there is simply a lack of them, this is what society needs to do: Consider us as part of youth.

No, seriously, listen. If the situation remains like this, fingers will continue pointing at us, and everyone will be to lazy to do anything about it. But, if we are considered as part of the youth, when fingers start pointing, they will pointing at youth as a whole, not just us. And the current youth will have to sit up and do something about it.

Or I’ll make them.


Terence Wang is considering tearing up the next article he sees that labels teens as ‘bad’.

New Moon

A blood-sucker. A meat eater. An idiot. Combine the three and you get: New Moon.


Anyone with the right mind knows that a real vampire(or werewolf) movie has lots of blood. And gore. And chill. Anyone with the right mind also knows that girls hate vampires. And werewolves. That makes one think: Why are 99% of the readers and watchers of New Moon, girls?

There can be only ONE thing: This is NOT a real vampire/werewolf/idiot movie.

Or wait, it could be a idiot movie.

To be honest, I haven't watched New Moon. But I have watched trailers. Ads. Sneak peeks. Reviews. And it has not changed my opinion. At all. In fact, it may have reinforced it.

Before all the girl fans of NM start throwing rotten eggs, let me quote a New Moon review, ok: "This movie is filled with bad dialogue and the guys taking off their shirts at every possible scene." There. And he rated it 1 star, if you wanted to know.

Trust me on this. Every book/movie/band/singer that has 99% girl fans almost certainly is because there are handsome men/boys. As it is in New Moon. And the Jonas Brothers. Etcetra. Etcetra. (I hope I spelt that right)

So to the boys whose girlfriends are pestering them to take them to watch New Moon, you have been warned. Unless of course you are prepared to take a nap. And let your girlfriend ditch you. No? You know what to do.

Idiotic Tuners

"You should really get a blog." Jia Win's message appeared at the top of the MSN chat box.
Get a blog? Fine.
So I set up a blog, as you all can see. But of course, if you read an earlier, shorter article, you'll notice that I encountered another problem.
But enough said.

Has this ever happened to you?
"Look at that!" "What, it's just another Proton." "Yeah, but look! The idiot put a Mitsubishi logo on it!"
You have, haven't you?
There is no other way to describe them but 'idiotic imbecile'. I mean, come on. If you want a car, don't have enough money for a Toyota(blame the gov) then you would buy a Proton/Perodua. Simple as that. But if your brain is at least slightly bigger than a pea you won't go and paste a Ferrari sticker on it.



Seriously, you think it's cool? You think people will point and say, "Wow, a Ferrari?" Sorry, dude, I'm afraid you're badly mistaken. People will point, but all they'll do is laugh and post your pic on the Net.
If you're so ashamed on our national car-I don't blame you on that one-then DON'T BUY ONE.

Terence Wang might not laugh and point when he sees another "real" sports car. He'll only point and laugh.
