Can Ex Lovers Be Friends?

Woohoo. It's Wednesday again and I can smell the weekend getting closer. I've already made plans on what to do for the weekend and I'm really excited yo. Anyway, I just got back from Negombo, Sri Lanka a couple of days back and macha, that place is great. At first i wasn't too excited about the trip but dude, the moment I arrived in Negombo, I immediately changed my perception.



Isn't just absolutely gorgeous? I have a couple more pictures and maybe even a video or two that I took and I'll share that with you soon k. I'm still trying to get used to my new Sony Ericsson Arc so just give me a few days and I'll blog about it.


Anyway, I heard one of the most shocking news ever today macha. I got a phone call from one of my closest friend and based on the sound of his voice, it could only mean two things; it's either he had a really bad flu or he has been crying. And guess what? It was the latter dude. He told me that he has finally broken off with his girlfriend of 10 years. Woah,I mean, bro, it's 10 years not 10 months,



I don't really know why they broke up but he did tell me that somewhere along the way, he didn't k,now when, he didn't know how, they just fell out of love. He suspects that she might have not been entirely faithful to him and at one point, they just stopped talking and seeing each other. Macha, the phone call was drama all the way. I felt so awkward because I didn't know what to say to him.


The two of them were probably the most perfect couple I've known dude. They've always looked so happy and blissful. Well, I guess everything must come to an end at some point. I'm sure that they did truly love each other but somehow the feelings must have faded without either of them realising it.



So, tell me. What do you think went wrong in the relationship and if you think that it can be saved?


P/S: I found this amazazing video online dude. You have to watch this.

I Told You So!

This is not how I want you to start your week but macha, it was jam like mad last Friday right? Not only was it a Friday, plus, I'm sure the heavy rain did not help at all. You know bro, I'm trying so hard to not say this to you but I really, honestly can't help myself. "I TOLD YOU SO!". Phew, it's finally out my chest and I feel so much better. Ok, if it's any consolation, I too was stuck in a jam dude. And I was this close to being late for my event. Yes, this is the case of the kettle calling the pot black. Or was it the other way around?



So, I'm back at work after two long weeks and macha, it feels really good to be back. Sure, I had a slight problem waking up this morning cause when my alarm rang, the first thing I heard when I turned it off was rain and thunder. I was so tempted to go back to bed,  the internal battle that was going on in m y head was mental I tell you.


Anyway, through out my two long weeks of holiday, I've watched a number of movies on DVD again and again. And macha, guess what? There were some mistakes on the movie and I thought that I was the only one who noticed it. But when I googled it, I found out that I was not gifted with an awesome pair of bionic eyes. So, here it is. The movie mistakes in three of the most epic-est movie ever.


The Commando


After chasing down Sully, the yellow Porsche is totally wrecked on the left side, until Arnie drives it away, and it's fine. Ok, even I can't come up with an explanation for that.



 


Gladiator


In the "Battle of Carthage" in the Colosseum, one of the chariots is turned over. Once the dust settles you can see a gas cylinder in the back of the chariot. Hehe. I'm sure you didn't realise that one.




Star Wars


Watch this and see if you can spot which Stormtrooper hit his head as he was walking through a door. Perhaps, they should get new doors?



 


Haven't had enough? Ok la. I'll show you some snapshots as well.

Be Prepared To Be Annoyed

It's the last day of your working day. Some of you might have ready left work while others are just waiting for the clock to show you the magic hour of the day: 6pm. And when you're finally off work, you'll run out your office filled with enthusiasm and excitement, throw your hands in the air, drop to the ground and scream, "I'm freee!". But guess what macha. It's not going to have a happy ending. It's raining now (at least where I am now it is) and even if it isn't, you'll still get stuck in the massive jam all around town. Yes, Friday's jam is the worst. So dude, you'll probably spend about an hour in your car if you're lucky.



 


So, here's the topic of the day. Before I tell you what it is, let me tell you why I feel the need to discuss this bro. So, I was logged in to my Facebook account and I started browsing random profiles and dude, the first thing I noticed was the profile pictures. I mean, macha. Some of them are just plain nasty and others, mindblowing. So, here it is. The top 6 profile pictures I've ever seen in a social network others.(in no particular order).


 


Phat Fabes' Top 6 Profile Pictures in A Social Network... Begins Now!



Macha, is this cool or what?



The details in this is just amazing.



Simple yet eye catching.



This is just too cool



Yes, this is cool too but wait till you see the last one. It's epic.



Look at the contrast, the amazing position, the smile. Oh my word, this should be picture of the year. :)


So, there you have it. My top 6 pictures from Facebook. Oh, for all you Taylor Lautner fans out there, you'll be happy to know that he's coming out with a new movie some time in September and I have the trailer for you right here. Enjoy your weekend!

When You're Bored, Tired and Lazy For Doing Absolutely Nothing

It's finally Thursday and man, I only have a couple of days left before I start work again. Don't get me wrong macha, I love my job but after being on leave for two weeks, I wonder how my body will cope with the idea of waking up in the wee hours of the morning.  We'll just have to wait and see for that one.



So, I was thinking, I only have four days left to laze around, and bro, believe it or not, there are days when I get bored of being a bum. And those are the days that I'll find something to do to occupy my time. Dude, if you've ever had one of those days, you're gonna love this.


Here are my top three things to do when you're bored of doing nothing.


 


3. Clean The House


Ok, before you cringe in your office chair or start to hyperventilate, let me tell you this macha. I'm not telling you to make sure your house is so clean that is sparkles more than Edward Cullen. All I'm trying to say is, try looking around your house. Look at your display cabinet, the ones where you store all your trophies and what not, see the dust there? Well, it means that it's time to give it a good wipe. Trust me, at the end of it all, you will be so proud of yourself. And best part is, do it in the evening when you know your girlfriend or boyfriend  or even your parents are about to come home from work or class. They will be so proud of you that you might get a little extra something (a night out for dinner so that you won't have to do the dishes?) or extra pocket money.



 


2. Do Some Shopping For Everything


Ever noticed that whenever you want some peanut butter, it's always finished? Or how about not doing your laundry for days and when it's time for your hot date, you realise that the only pair of underpants you have is the pink one with some holes and stains here and there. Well, you know it's time to do some shopping if this happened to you dude. I know that shopping can sometimes be a drag and seeing your money leave your hands isn't an awesome feeling too macha. But bro, sometimes we've got to take care of ourselves so that we'll be on top of our game yo. So, go out, shop for some groceries and clothes. It's worth it, I tell you.



 


Are you ready for number one? This one is probably the greatest idea I've had.


1. Eat, Watch TV and Sleep.


I can almost see you smiling from here. Yes, one of the best things to do is go online, look for any restaurant that delivers food to your doorstep. Once you've browsed through all the different types of restaurants, now think, "Noodles or rice? Chinese, Western, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Balinese, or Middle Eastern cuisine?". Once you've determined that, pick that very heavy phone of yours and dial the magic number. While waiting for your food to come, look over to your collection of DVDs (original ones, of course) and pick the movie that you want to watch. It could be Grease, Poseidon, Rambo or maybe even The Lion King. Once your food is here, pop in the DVD and enjoy your meal simultaneously. Feel free to fall asleep on the couch bro.



Sounds like a plan, doesn't it? So the next time when you're so bored and you've already slept for 15 hours straight and have no idea what to do for the next 3 hours (you'll probably get so tired from all the sleeping that you'll go back to bed for the next 6 hours), try some of the ideas above. Happy Thursday! :)

This Is Driving Me Crazy.

So, it's only Tuesday. Ironically macha, I feel like time is passing really slow today. Like, no joke really slow. I kept looking at my clock and I realised that only 10-15 minutes has passed. How's your day? Is it as slow as mine? Well, if it is, good luck dude. You still have have half a day at work.



 


So, before we start whining about our jobs, (I'm sure we all had those days where we wish we could stay at home and sleep, especially on rainy morning) I've decided to google and find out about the top three worst jobs in the world. Maybe then, you and I could be slightly thankful. Hopefully.


 


1. Guard at Buckingham Palace


Ok, before you go "What?!", just gimme a minute and read this first bro. Guard duty at Buckingham Palace is regarded as one of the worst jobs in the British Army. Besides the fact that they have to stand for hours, no laughing allowed, they also have to look their best. Soldiers spend several hours each day cleaning and pressing their uniforms and polishing their boots in preparation for one of the many kit inspections that they are likely to face before taking up their positions outside one of the royal palaces. Any soldier whose turn-out is less than immaculate is likely to face a variety of punishments, such as extra guard duty.



Can you imagine if he has an itch?


 


2. Cat Food Controller.


Yes, cat food controller. Don't know what that is macha? Well, according to British man Jon Hanson, he had what he describes as the worst job in his entire life: quality control on cat food. His task involved several test as he describes. Test 1: Bury face in a huge tub of it and sniff it to make sure it's fresh. Test 2: Plunge arms in it up to the elbows and grope for bony bits and take them out. Test 3: Scoop up huge dollop of it, smear it flat on surface and prod it with fingers to test how much gristle is there.



Can you imagine smelling this everyday until it actually looks good enough for a cat?


 


3. Sewers Cleaner


I'm sure you'd know that this would come into the list dude. I mean, in my opinion, it IS the worst job in the world and we should respect those who do this cause if not, I don't want to imagine how the world would be like. Here's the story of a man in India. Ramesh Sahu works in the sanitation department of Calcutta, cleaning out the city's sewers. On a regular basis, Rakesh sits in a low crouch at the bottom of a seven-foot-deep manhole, sloshing away in a swirl of human waste and sediment. Equipped with a hoe and a steel bar, and wearing only a pair of loose purple underpants, Rakesh empties the thick black sludge from a clogged sewer into a bucket that his fellow crew members hoist up and dump in the middle of a narrow road. A small mountain of decaying excrement accumulates between the manhole and a rickety wooden vegetable cart. Two co-workers reach down and yank Rakesh out by his sore, extended arms, his body splattered with putrid muck. At 27, with a wife, three young daughters and a monthly income of about RM350.



Ok dude, so now you've seen and read about the WORST jobs in the world. The next time you see your boss, try being a little nicer and be grateful that you have a 9-5 job. :)

Eat, Play and Relax...The Cheapskate Way.

It's Monday again and in exactly a week, I'll be back in the studio yo. Did you miss hearing my sexy voice on air? I'm sure you did right. So, I've only a week left of leave and I was wondering what's the best way to spend the last seven days of my holiday without burning a hole in my pocket, yes, I'm turning out to be a little like Ben. :)



We should all wear this t-shirt when we're feeling a bit stingy so that the waiters know that they're not getting a tip.


Here are a few places I found to be quite interesting and also affordable.


 


1. The Wheels  Disco Skating Rink at Subang Avenue


So, remember the time when our parents made us sit down and watch movies with them? And macha, there's almost always a scene where the guy takes the girl out for a date in a skating rink and they had to rent roller skates. Well, this is exactly the place. It's cool and fun. We're bringing the 60's and 70's back yo.



(Pics taken from Klue)


 


2.Watch a few movies back to back at our local cinemas!


So, here's the deal. I know we all love watching movies right after dinner cause it feels great to let your food digest over an action movie. Dude, do you know that the best deals are the ones before 6pm? I kid you not. You can get movie tickets from anywhere between RM5 to RM 10 (max) for any movies before 6pm! Some cinemas are even selling tickets from as low as RM 6 for shows before 12 noon. Of course, these tickets are only available on weekdays but bro, if you ever feel bored during your holidays or when you're forced to clear your leave, this is an offer you should not resist.



 


3. Restaurant Hopping.


Macha, if you love food like I do, I'm sure you'd know by now that most restaurants offer really affordable and delicious set lunch packages. Anywhere you go, there's always a someone handing out leaflets to promote his/her place or the countless amounts of waiters trying to lure you in to their place. And, more often than not, you will find that the food they serve is rather decent despite of their price. So, next time when you're wondering where to eat, be a little adventurous and try some new places. You might be surprised at what you might find.And, a little birdy told me that there's this new restaurant called Dirty Nelly's that serves an awesome lunch buffet for only RM22. :)

We Don't Boogie, We Dougie Yo!

It's Friday again and that means I only have about a week or so left before I go on air again. Honestly, I'm rather excited cause I miss being on air. Sure, the first few days of my holidays are great but macha, after a while, I feel so bored. And, I'm feeling lazy as well. I just want to lay in bed all day or laze in my couch flipping through the channels and I know it sounds awesome, but dude, if I keep this up, I might not be able to wake up for work.


 


 


Macha, this was the exact same problem that I faced a couple of days back. I was hungry but at the same time, my bum was glued to my couch. But after a few ours, I finally gave in and went to tapau some food cause if I didn't chances are, I might end up like the dude in the last frame.


Speaking of laziness, I found my anthem. This is how I roll for the next one and a half weeks. Check it out. It's awesome.



If you google the lyrics, you will notice that he mentioned "dougie". If you don't know what dougie is, no scared. Dougie is actually a kind of dance and it's pretty simple bro. All you need to do is just to put your arms out front and lean from side to side. Of course, they are many versions of the dougie and this is the best one I found!



If you think that ridiculously hot chick looks familiar, then you're right. She plays the clueless cheerleader in Glee and man, she's hot. She's also got some mean moves. Oh, the guy in that video plays the character Mike Chang from the same series.


So, that's it from me for now. My TV is calling out to me so see you soon. Hope you'll have an awesome lazy weekend. :)

I Was Surrounded By At Least 20 Girls In Swimwear.

Happy Thursday! How's your day so far? I'm pretty sure that you're excited cause the weekend is literally within your grasp. C'mon I'm sure you can survive today and tomorrow. :)



Dude, last night was havoc. Ben, Nadia and I were hosting the 2011 Quiksilver and Roxy Summer/Spring Collection. I've got to say though that the girls, I mean clothes were awesome. They introduced their new series which is anti rash. Can you imagine that? If you have sensitive skin, you can rest assured that all the small little particles of dust that sticks to your clothing will not make your skin itch and no more red patches yo!


Here's the invite of the event. It looks greatttt.



Saw that or not macha? They even had our faces printed in the invite.


The folks at Quiksilver and Roxy were kind enough to deck us out in their attire. We wore clothes from their latest collection and I must say, we look great. This might come as a shock, but Nadia actually wore a dress.



Ben and I were wearing the very comfortable walkshorts. Now you can see us in shorts. It's a pretty sight isn't it?



That's Nadia in a dress. My PA thinks Nadia looks really pretty in that dress.


Then, guess who was walking the runway as a special guest?



Yup, it's none other than our very own OneFM dj, Nicholas.


I couldn't take anymore pictures that night as I was busy running in and out. But, if you've always wondered if the backstage is a mad house, well, let me tell you that it is.



Here are the models 2 minutes before they walk the runway and it was pure chaos.


Well, that's it for today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for another awesome post. :)

Life Is Beautiful... When You Have 14 Days Off!

I'm beginning to love Mondays and Tuesdays now. You know why? 'Cause I'm on leave for two weeks yo! :) Today is the second day of my leave and I feel awesome macha. I'm catching up on the sleep that I've been deprived of and I can finally go out and have nasi lemak for breakfast at 8am and then hit the sack again at 9am. Life is beautiful ol' chap.


 


So speaking of life, now that I have so much time on my hands, I am making an effort to watch as many movies as I can. And for the first time dude, when I have the time, it seems like there isn't any movies out there that caught my attention except for these few though.


1. World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles



So here's what the story all about. For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world - Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before. (from TGV Cinemas)



 


2. Love and Other Drugs



Maggie (Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone - or anything - tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. (Taken from Twentieth Century Fox)



 


3. Rango



Helmer Gore Verbinksi ("Pirates of the Caribbean") directs this family-oriented animated adventure starring the voice of Johnny Depp as a family pet who leaves the comfort of home to explore the outside world. John Logan ("The Aviator") provides the script for the Paramount Pictures production. Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher, Alfred Molina, Ray Winstone, Harry Dean Stanton and Ned Beatty provide the voices for the rest of the cast. (Taken from TGV Cinemas)



 


So, my PA has watched two out of the three movies and she said they were awesome. World  Invasion:Battle LA is your typical action flick with ego clashing every now and then. Then we have Love and Other Drugs which makes every girls cry and wish they had a boyfriend that looks like Jake Gyllenhaal and Rango of course is the perfect family movie. If you had to choose between the three, which would you go for dude?


As for me, I'm goona support our local movie and I'll be watching this cause there's a really cun chick acting in it.



Here's how the story goes. Luna (Maya Karin) is a popular reality TV host for a show called "Meletups" who runs away after finding out that her boyfriend is cheating on her. Feeling heartbroken, Luna and her assistant Tom set off to a rural village in Kedah where she meets Atan (Remy Ishak), a handsome and kind villager. During her stay in the village, Luna starts to fall in love with the serene and peaceful lifestyle as well as gaining the approval of Atan's family. However, a complication that happened in the city forces Luna to choose between the village life or return to her fabulous lifestyle back in the city. (Taken from TGV Cinemas)

273 Honks And 1 Blind Taxi Driver.

As promised yesterday, here's an update of what happened during our outdoor broadcast yesterday at Ampang Park for our efforts to raise some moolah to help Japan through the Honk For Japan event. We were all there at 5.00am to set up and at 6.00 am sharp, we begun our outdoor broadcast right outside the Ampang Park LRT station. Macha, we had some people who stared at us like we were like aliens cause we were walking around with a mic.



 


We began our usual broadcast from 6am to 7.30am. Even before we started, we had a few people who drove past us honking as many times as they could. It was just so awesome dude. We finally started at 7.30am and we were only given an hour to do this. Trust us bro, we made good use of that one hour. We went up to bus and taxi drivers convincing them to honk. Majority of the people who were aware of what was going on did honk, cause macha, seriously, you have nothing to lose by honking right?



But, of course they is always a rotten apple in every case. I went up to a taxi driver and knockie don his window. I wanted to convince him to honk but he refused to. I even showed him the placard to let ensure him that I'm not selling anything. But dude, you'll never believe what he did. He lifted his sunglasses, pointed to his eyes and mouthed the word "Saya buta" and drove off! Where's the love man?


Here's a few pictures of how me managed to get the drivers to honk.





After the adrenaline filled hour, it's time to tally the honks. Ever wondered how we keep tabs? Well, here's how we did it.



At the end of 8.30am, we had a total of 273 honks which amounts to RM 2730! Not bad for an hour's work eh macha. And, here's what we all look like at 8.30 am all the way up to 10am.



That's me with 65 crosses on my face.



Ben had 67.


As for Nadia, well she had 59 on one arm and 82 on the other.




I would wanna say a big, fat THANK YOU to everyone who showed love and support!
