The Telephone Parody

During CNY, me and my cousin decided to make a parody on Lady Gaga ft Beyonce's Telephone. So play the song while reading this and sing. Enjoy!



(Terence)
Hello, hello, baby

You called, I can't hear a thing.

T.M.'s got no service

in the house, you say, say

Wha-Wha-What did you say, huh?

You're breaking up on me

Sorry, I cannot hear you,

T.M. is busy.



T.M. is busy

T.M. is busy

Sorry, I cannot hear you, T.M. is busy.



Just a second,

I'll call them and get them to fix it, 

And I cannot text you with

A phone in my hand, eh?

They tell me,

(T.M. call center) turn of your pc,

You knew that I'm busy.

And now you won't stop calling me;

I'm kinda busy.


(T.M. call center)
Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna think anymore!

I have a lot of clients on the ground floor.

Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna talk anymore!

I have a lot of clients on the ground floor.


(Terence)
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

My T.M. net!

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

Is laggy!

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

My T.M. net!

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh


(Terence)

Can call all you want,

but there's no other way,

and they're not going to fix my T.M. net!

(Friend)
They're out in the club,
and shittin' in their pants,

and they'll never fix your T.M. net!

(T.M. call center) 

Boy, the way you blowin' up my phone

won't make me fix it faster.

Youtube load up faster,

Facebook start up faster!

(Terence)
I shouldn't have called you at all,

cuz this is a disaster!

(T.M. call center)
Callin' like a collector -

sorry, I cannot answer!


(T.M. call center)

Not that I don't like you,

I'm just kinda busy.

And I am sick and tired

of my phone r-ringing.

Sometimes I feel like

I live in  the P.M.'s office.

Tonight I'm not takin no calls,

cause I'll be workin.



Cause I'll be workin

Cause I'll be workin

Tonight I'm not takin no calls, cause I'll be workin!


(T.M. call center)
Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna think anymore!

I have a lot of clients on the ground floor.

Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna talk anymore!

I have a lot of clients on the ground floor.



Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna think anymore!

. I have a lot of clients on the ground floor.

Stop callin', stop callin',

I don't wanna talk anymore!

I have a lot of clients on the ground floor..


(Terence)
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

Avatar

I know it's a little too late(not my fault), but I finally watched Avatar. In 3D.
As with all movies I watch, I will write a review on this, but first I want to comment on GSC's customer service.
This time, by far, was the most troublesome seat booking fo me. Ever. Since you could only watch 3D in Gurney Plaza (for the entire state of Penang-GSC's fault), I had no other choice but to try book a seat there.
Terence Wang calls GSC.
"Welcome to GSC's phone reservation. Please note that only limited seats are made available for phone reservation. More seats are made available-(Terence)Yes, yes, come on- through our online ticket purchase and at the respective cinema box office counters. For Gurney Plaza, press 1. For... (presses 1). Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Press 1. 72 Tenants of Prosperity. Press 2...3...4...5... For international movies, press 6. For more English movies, press 7. (presses 7) Valentine's Day. Press 1. Avatar(3D)-(Terence)Finally-Press 2. (presses 2) Sorry. No show time is available in our system. Please try again later. Terence:" What the *'beep'.

I went through that for several weeks. How could that stupid *'beep' answering machine tell me there was no show time in their *'beep' system when they have an option for Avatar?!
I had no other choice, so I opted for online booking.
Have you booked a seat via GSC's website? If you  have, you know how awful it is. If you don't, never, unless:
i) You have a super fast internet connection.
ii) You are absolutely desparate.
Here's what will happen to you: You will have to wait 20-30 minutes for the page to load. Every page. Mutiply that by all the pages you need to visit, and you get 2-3 hours of waiting. More often then not, you won't get there at all. And when you get there. it's usually sold out.
It disrupted all the plans I had to watch it until Feb 16, when I was really desparate and used ticket purchase instead of booking.
Summary? It's terrible.
But now the movie.
I spent quite a big sum on the movie, and it was worth every sen. Period. The CGI, the setting, the action, it was mostly good.
The Good
Firstly, no other movie has ever made an alien environment look so real. No, not even Star Wars. As Jake rides in that bird passing over the forest, not once you will think it's fake. You will sit there, in your uncomfortable seat, eyes glued to the screen, (maybe) saliva drooling down your mouth.
Secondly, the technology used. Now, James Cameron filmed Avatar for around 10 years. But, all the robots, helicopters and special effects used are perfectly up-to-date and sometimes even better than some other movies. How does he do it? Unknown.
Finally, the battle. That was, undeniably, the highlight of the show. All the talking and learning earlier on blasts wide open to a full on attack. It's so good, I can't describe it. Here's an idea(though still not good enough to describe it):
The Bad
The one complaint I have of Avatar is the 3D glasses. They gave the effect all right, but they made the screen slightly blur. Some 3D effects also didn't work properly. I believe that this problem is local, because reviews from other countries gave great comments about it and did not mention this problem. Dolby take note.
Secondly, the plot. As you walk out of a cinema, you realize that the story was actually quite simple. Human attacks, sends marine undercover, marine turns on them, both races fight, human loses. But then again, this simple plot helps you to follow it better.
A final point I would like to add is that somehow you get the feeling that the film wasn't composed together that well and could have been shorter, at least for the front part.

Summary
8 out of 10. If there was no problem with the glasses it would be 9. Honestly, Avatar is great. It might not be as memorable as Titanic, or as action-packed as Terminator 2, and it isn't Cameron's best effort, but it's still a really good movie. If you still haven't watched it, go. It's still on.
But avoid the online booking. If possible.
Terence Wang wants GSC to improve thier service with 'drastic measures'.

Chinese New Year Special

February 14.
For goodness knows how long, it has been dominated by flowers, chocalates etc etc. (so happened Feb 13 was my b'day, but that doesn't matter...)


And then came Chinese New Year.

Bam!!!
This caused a bit of a dilemma, apparently. Couples were torn into wanting to celebrate Chinese New Year or Valentine's Day.
And the clever sales-people rushed to the rescue.


They offered reunion-cum-valentine's day lunches/dinners...

You get the picture.
But one would ask, what's so great about Chinese New Year? I mean, you only get ang pows, right?
WRONG!
You get red ang pows!
Now that's something!!
I mean, imagine if it were green. Ugh.
But wait a minute, then it would be Hari Raya, right?
Malay man: Gong xi f-f-fiat chai.
Confused? I am.

But anyways, have a happy CNY and Valentine's Day(though at time of writing that's ending), and may you be eaten by the tiger.
Sorry I didn't mean that. Unless, of course, you're Pn. E.

Terence Wang isn't afraid of tigers. That are in a cage...

Why Students Are NOT Allowed To Go To Internet Cafe(s)

If you're a student in a national school, you will have learned from all the 'higher authorities' that it is an offense of the highest order to go to an internet cafe.
While most would accept that as a way of life, the rebellious part of me decided that this was a matter worth debating. So, after a very long time(approximately an hour) of 'researching', I came upon one disturbing fact.
Now, contrary to my belief, internet cafe raids can be justified. For example, if the students are surfing sites not suitable for minors, I say go ahead. Catch them, bring them back and demerit them. But if a student is only playing games(suitable for minors), bring them back, but don't demerit them unless his/her parents allow it. I mean, 99% of students play games at home as well, so it is not illegal to play computer games elsewhere.
Now, check this out: Even if you're at an internet cafe to do your work or school project(an only your work/school project), you can still be caught in a raid and be demerited.


And yet, it is legal to access the SAME content in the school's computer rooms.
Is this justifiable?
I know, how could it be? But, as one would ask, as students, what can we do?
In habit, I would be inclined to say that since this country(and its people) recognises students as ignorant people who can't make choices by themselves and are only 'commodities' that bring money to the education industry, no, we can't do anything about it.
But this time, yes there is somehting you can do.
If you can't finish your school project, tell your teacher it's the school's fault for not allowing access to internet cafes because your house doesn't have a computer and the school's computer rooms were closed.
What do you mean it won't work?? 

P.S.: Apparently, US internet cafes are legal and students can access them freely. Some even sell food as well.

Terence Wang has never been inside an internet cafe, not because it's wrong, but because he's worried about his own safety.

Junk Mail, Chain Letters and Pillow Fights

Has this ever happened to you?

Terence Wang opens his e-mail box. "Wow... 900+ mail?" Click...click.

~*~Test To See How HOT You Are~*~


GET A PIECE OF PAPER AND NUMBER IT 1-11(NO CHEATING!)

1. Do you have dark or light hair?

2. If you were out on a date would you want to go to a party or go out to eat?


3. What's your favorite color out of Pink, Yellow, Baby Blue, or Sea Green?

...

(A few hours later)

  Damn.
You've all been through these, haven't you? I mean, it's ok if you send me a joke or two.But not chain letters that say I'll die if I don't send them. Period.
And there's another thing. Pillow fights. Yes, the ones spamming my entire facebook profile with 'colourful' pillows. Like:
 



What's wrong with these people?
If they haven't got anything better to do, they might still consider NOT infesting our profiles. With pillows.
Friend: "Hey, can I hit you with a pillow?"
Don't you dare.
 
If he meets the creator of  the 'pillow fights' app, Terence Wang will kick him/her in the *beep*.

The 52nd Grammy Awards

The most important night of the year for the music industry is over. But unfortunately, it was quite predictable.
Beyonce won 6 awards. Taylor Swift won 4. Lady Gaga won 2(Don't blame me if I'm wrong-I've got memory equivalent to a catepillar).
All these singers are/have been on the Top 40 list.
Getting my point?
It seems, as long as you have a radical fashion style,

or can dance well,
or have a catchy song,
you can dominate the Grammys.
It's getting too unbalanced. Awards shouldn't be dominated by a few singers.
But anyway, congratulations to all those who awards, and do continue producing songs that I can actually listen to.
