The panel was talking about what need to be done for Singapore soccer and the S-league, even after 17 years, the local soccer league hasn't really get to where there wanted it to be.  They were also talking lots about marketing, money sponsors, support, bla, bla, bla.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, the prodigal son of Singapore soccer, Fandi, is somewhere doing the same thing he set out to do many years ago.  To play and help Singapore soccer.  Without the help of his country's authorized bodies, Fandi had opened doors, hearts and unite people, establishments, organization and many more.  Yet, he doesn't get the support from his own countrymen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hgOEWgPNrw4/Twu7p9iG1lI/AAAAAAAACNk/uexRKMtTYW0/s1600/Lions.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hgOEWgPNrw4/Twu7p9iG1lI/AAAAAAAACNk/uexRKMtTYW0/s400/Lions.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695852483306772050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FAS always talked about support, money, marketing and the business aspects of making soccer work for Singapore, but they never talk about how FANDI can work in their structure.  Maybe they should see Fandi as a solution, rather than a problem.  After all, he is a sportsman, and not a businessman.  I'm sure those who knows his story and ventures will agree with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9LewkWxHeg/Twu7j8ih7wI/AAAAAAAACNY/d2Z0179t1gI/s1600/tean94.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9LewkWxHeg/Twu7j8ih7wI/AAAAAAAACNY/d2Z0179t1gI/s400/tean94.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695852379960897282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only there were private companies who are more than willing to splurge and invest in organizing an event to pay tribute and commemorate FANDI, that is really gonna blow-off some people 'at the there'....... make the event BIG, for everyone, a festival to support native Singaporean sportsman.  Get the country together like how they use to be, make them reminisce the good ol' days and celebrate life.  When people get together, business opportunities come rolling, brands wants to get involve in showcasing their product.  SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY......... and that's a PLAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easier talk than done..........??  If they can make Tan Pei Ling minister, why can't they say THANK YOU to FANDI??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4404041271009288456?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4404041271009288456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4404041271009288456&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4404041271009288456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4404041271009288456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2012/01/recently-singapore-talk-show-started.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/TbGT_2AlJHE/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-3180572306455716108</id><published>2012-01-02T23:01:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T23:46:25.167+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WpWHIMJ4iww/TwHQa5_tNNI/AAAAAAAACNM/_32flo_LxiM/s1600/ugly.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WpWHIMJ4iww/TwHQa5_tNNI/AAAAAAAACNM/_32flo_LxiM/s400/ugly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693060564636218578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;likes outdoor sports and long walks??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's kinda funny when you read people's profile where they are suppose to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'say something about themselves'&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'Interests'&lt;/span&gt;..... many penned down things like .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;taking long walk on the beach,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;likes travelling, passionate, loves animals,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;humble and down to earth,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;enjoy outdoor sports&lt;/span&gt;.... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;bla, bla, bla......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is ........ what the fark is wrong with these people??  Taking long walk on the beach?? Really?  I do believe at times we enjoy the long walk... but, if you're one of those regular people who always does that, there's is something wrong with you.  Stay away my friends!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who doesn't like travelling?  We all do.  But first, which part of travelling are we talking about??  The long holidays kind of travelling or the daily routine of travelling from home to work, getting squeezed in the trains, and if you're lucky....... the breakdowns and a free tour of the underground tunnels??  Which one again??  And of course, don't be an idiot, who doesn't like holidays??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I do get quite worried at individuals who claims to be &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;humble and down-to-earth&lt;/span&gt;.  99% of the time, they aren't.  First of all, you don't tell people that you're humble.  It's something that people say about you, something that is awarded for being a likeable person.  Telling people that you're &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;humble and down to earth&lt;/span&gt;, is like &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"I see the most beautiful person..... whenever I look in the mirror"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not gonna comment about liking &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'outdoor sports'&lt;/span&gt;.  Some bloody smart Alec wanna argue saying that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;shopping&lt;/span&gt; is also a sport.

While pondering about the day's on-goings,    I remembered about a conversation with a friend.  We were discussing about the importance of work and family.  Which should come first......?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of us in Singapore, the answer is quite simple...... of course it's WORK.  With the high cost of living, a demanding social paradigm and low family values, without hesitation, work is the main priority in our Singapore-life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait!!!  Before you disagree and shake your head, please stop and look at yourself in the mirror.  Its just normal for us human to say something and react the other way.  Its just how we are socially taught to behave, talk and act.  Just like any profile-filler in any of the social networks.  Whenever they tell you to say something about yourself, most will say.... "humble, down-to-earth.  Funny, adventurous, likes taking long walk at the beach, bla....bla........bla......"  But the truth is...... well, you decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the topic.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us would say that work is more important as it helps to put food on the table, roof over the head and money for the family to do things together.  Without enough money or any of the luxuries, family life would be hard and most misunderstandings would be the cause of 'money'.    Frankly, I kinda agree with this theory.  What we mostly forgot is....... not about &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; 'money', but , how &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MUCH&lt;/span&gt; money do we need to work for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a person has to work extra jobs just to put food on the table and pay for a roof, well, it's just obvious that work has to come first in order to survive.  What about those who already has everything? Those extra work and hours are just to feed the human hunger for other luxuries such as branded clothing, amenities, expensive holidays and the ability to tell others your affordability.  Would you still put family second?  Be reminded that our son or daughter will only be young once.  They will only be the '2-yr old-lil-devil' once in our lifetime.  As much headache as it can cause, would you really want to miss that??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some out there who lost their family due to work.  Parents went separate ways to pursue success or happiness at work.  However, there are also the lucky ones where they lost their family, then, got a second chance with a new family.  To those people, are you willing to risk it again?  Do you still blame others?  Or are you willing to look in the mirror and admit that you were part of the problem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like they say...... DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.  However, one thing is still the same...... there's nothing like the love of a family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So....... have you hugged a family member today??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4489883897387518644?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4489883897387518644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4489883897387518644&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4489883897387518644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4489883897387518644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2011/03/have-you-hugged-family-member-today-its.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DLfDLIoJ_U/TYEADlfsTdI/AAAAAAAACMo/CW0YEAG-vBk/s72-c/hugging-chimps.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-2790409452731498880</id><published>2011-03-01T22:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-03-01T23:14:22.305+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>THE POINT IS ................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-4pkPIFsvgo" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;DJ good..... or, mixer good?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cEmqKSsAkVU" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;DJ good or mixer good?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y6bapWp-4k0" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;DJ good or mixer good.....??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SBmvx1y_Zqg" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;DJ good or mixer good....??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3-YIRS0lS-w" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;DJ good or mixer good.........???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2790409452731498880?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2790409452731498880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2790409452731498880&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2790409452731498880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2790409452731498880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2011/03/point-is.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/-4pkPIFsvgo/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4653752780202848776</id><published>2011-02-23T18:00:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-02-23T18:14:54.540+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-320RaqCOgLQ/TWTeCw0IaRI/AAAAAAAACMg/PcVDBLyRBzc/s1600/faggot4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Long time never come here........ nearly forgot about it.  Nah!! Actually, I was told that blogging is as lame as having a Tagged.com account.  It isn't cool anymore, just like DJ-ing.  Everyone seem to one to have one, do the same thing.  Furthermore, it has taken the art of journalism to a very degrading level.  So, I haven't blog for awhile ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back, the same people who told me that are the same people who spend most of their breathing time on Facebook.  Isn't Facebook is as lame as anything else in the world??  Of course it's useful as a marketing tool, but, these are the people who make use of the FB to tell the world where they are, what they eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and sharing their dirty secrets.  Does this mean that anything I do is uncool, but anything you have, do and believe is the coolest SHIT?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dang!!

Initially, I was quite flattered that my experience and services got their attention.  However, after a couple of meetings and understanding their concept, preferences and ideas........ I kinda lost some respect and interest in project.  Unfortunately, part of me is telling me to accept the project as it will elevate my accolades.  Seriously......... I'm not sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's why.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These so-called big players of the entertainment/hospitality industry are either racists or have a shallow understanding of themselves.  I would love to explain my claims but I'd rather let you, the readers decide for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the reasons why I said that was, in one of the meetings, they bluntly told me that they only want talents who are non-Malays...... only local non-Malays.    Specifically the bands, DJs and dancers...... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO MALAY PLEASE&lt;/span&gt;.  And the reason is........ Malay bands and Malay DJs will attract Malay customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, I beg to differ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Shaggies&lt;/span&gt; is a local band who has been around for 20yrs.  More than 50% of their fans/followers are non-Malays.  How about ENERGY? CatzIntheCradle...??  Apart from that, there are also many Malay acoustic bands who entertains at places that frequent by only non-Malays (by choice).  In fact, just look at Timbre.  Widely known as a 'live' venue, attended by majority of non-Malays.  All because of the quality of music, service, sound and friendly staff.  Half of their talents are actually Malays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The things is...... not that I can't find any non-Malay talents.  I do have some contacts.  But the main problem is, the establishments that I'm servicing would only provide minimal budget.  Locally, most of the roving bands, who are Malay or some members who are Malay, willingly accepts low fees.  However, the non-Malay talents demand higher fees.    The explanation to this theory is based on the following equation......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;high demand x less choice = high price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;lesser demand x choices = nominal fee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truthfully, this is not about Malay or non-Malay talents.  This is more of these operators asking for all the top grade talents but wanna pay only cents.  Where is the respect for these talents.  Apart from that, these operators are quick to forget the services of these talents who have helped in their business.  Once the outlets or establishment gain success, they'll jump to the next partner who is willing to share some bucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad but true...... and because I'm standing in between, all I can do is move on and breathe in the next air that passes by.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2173562754952342923?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2173562754952342923/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2173562754952342923&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2173562754952342923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2173562754952342923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/11/recently-i-was-approached-by-operators.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5204245487978526041</id><published>2010-10-07T14:16:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-09T15:55:50.059+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TLAeTMPckYI/AAAAAAAACMM/WlNzu_qxS2g/s1600/russell-peters.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TLAeTMPckYI/AAAAAAAACMM/WlNzu_qxS2g/s400/russell-peters.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525950057835958658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fwahhh!!  I have been so busy lately that I ain't got time to blog ma shizzle in da wizzle....... how?? Got sound like nigga??  I think that's the 'in-thing'.... how some boys talk.  Met some friends recently, heard them speak like that.  Fwahhh!!  1 year never see, suddenly speak different.  Nowadays, I get confused very easily.  Half of my Malay friends speak like Niggas, the other half speaks in another language which only the Mat Reps know.  Unfortunately, when I speak in Malay (like how they taught us in school)..... I get laughed at.  How like that??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, recently I was busy with the F1 festivities.  Same shit, but this time we're very experienced and finish our preps 1 day in advance.  Having done this for the 3rd-year, we should know the drill.  As past years, the only incidents worth mentioning are the part-time security officers who were task to maintain the entrance to work sites.  I guess they were not well-informed by their superiors or they're there just to add numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the incident was after the whole F1 fiasco was over.  It was 3am Monday morning, we were leaving the site.  Our van got stopped at the gate, Security guy told us to open the van for them to check.  Then he asked, &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;"GOT ANYTHING TO DECLARE?"&lt;/span&gt; Muthafarkers........ declare what??  Cigarettes? Liquor? Drugs?  KNNBCCB!!  When we came in nobody checked, now asking if we want to declare anything??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked the officer, "err..... declare??" - without answering, he closed the van and told us to proceed.  Frankly, I wasn't angry, I was actually gonna burst out laughing.  We were very sure they don't know what they were checking for.  Imagine this, I was stopped at the staff entrance 2 times for trying to 'smuggle' in a multi-tool set and a Macbook Pro, and once at the exit, coz I bought a Red-Bull tee.  If you asked these officers any questions at all, their answer will be, &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;"We're just doing our job."&lt;/span&gt; Do you really know what was your job??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, the mother of the PM and wife of the MM passed away.  My condolences to the family, friends and those within the compound.  They say, she was the strength behind Singapore's growth and peacefulness.  I don't know.  They say MM loves her wife very much and that she was the pillar of his strength.  If that is real, soon we gonna have an unplanned PH?  Nothing to laugh about, but you can start planning about where to go or what to do when that PH come around.  I think, it's gonna be at least 2 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up...... we need to address the issue of smartphones.  Just for the record, a smart phone isn't called a 'smart-phone' for nothing.  Apart from allowing the user to FACEBOOK, a smart-phone also allows the user to make calls, SMSes, prompter, reminder, calendar, GPS, tells time, appointments and many other capabilities.  Therefore, there is no reason for a smartphone user to excuse themselves by saying that they 'forgot', 'missed' or 'late'.......  Worst is..... how can a smartphone user forget about the existence of their other-half, family members or significant other.  What's the point of having photos as the wallpaper and yet forget.  What's the point calling yourself a partner when you forgot about the other's existence?  If Tonto forgot about Lone Ranger, he would have jumped over the Grand Canyon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I saw an influx of new DJs taking over the decks in some clubs and events.  Not sure if it's a trend but, these DJs provides 'technical rider' for the club to provide....????  Who's that again??!  I came across a situation where we were providing a better set equipments and they asked for a mid-range equipments citing it as the 'industry-standards'.  Do you event know what is the 'industry-standard' nowadays??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heard a DJ talked about his preference of sound and wanting the club to suit his 'sound'.  Then I realized all his music was at 192kb or 128kb.  Apart from that, he complained that the outlet sound lack of warmth....... KNNBCCB!! You want warm sound, bring blanket cover speakers la, asshole!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next topic.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've heard too many times the girls, ladies, wives..... say,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We need away time from husbands, kids, work, family..... etc"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what do we - the male of the species??  We keep quiet and agree.  Take our spot and continue watching TV, which eventually ending with eating cold food, waiting for a call or response or simply just left alone.  On a different note, imagine what happens when a man says the same thing.... "We need time......."  Do you know what kind of catastrophe you're getting into?? Did you know that you can die of hunger after 'getting your time'.  Did you know that you may have to sleep on the floor after 'getting your time'.  Those lucky ones don't even get the time, instead they will be accused of trying vindication, adultery and irresponsibility.  If that's not enuff, all her friends will come and throw accusations, adding 'salt to the wound' and god-knows-what-else.  So, what do you do....??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5204245487978526041?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5204245487978526041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5204245487978526041&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5204245487978526041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5204245487978526041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/10/fwahhh-i-have-been-so-busy-lately-that.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TLAeTMPckYI/AAAAAAAACMM/WlNzu_qxS2g/s72-c/russell-peters.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-6955087412589900944</id><published>2010-09-20T20:26:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-20T20:42:15.629+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I know somewhere out there, someone is having a worst day than I am.

Is it the age catching up......??   For starters, interesting things happen in the morning.  Started bright and cheerie, turned to sourness just because I don't have a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'proper'&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'serious'&lt;/span&gt; job just like anyone else.  Then, had to decide where to go to work, even when I've decide where I wanted to go.  Then, had to walk 5km to another place to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'work&lt;/span&gt;' ......... Then, skipped lunch and did a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'Yellow Ribbon Project'&lt;/span&gt; till 5.30pm.  In the evening, went to 888 in Woodlands to buy food...... the farking aunty busy talking and forgot about my curry puff!! &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Bodoh punya makcik!!! Melayu kalau dah kaya, dah pandai, jadi sombong, macam CHAMPION!!&lt;/span&gt;  Then went home, eat bread.  ALHAMDULILLAH!! Reached home safely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, gonna sleep.  Fark you all!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. - don't worry..... it's just me.  Menses lah!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-6955087412589900944?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/6955087412589900944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=6955087412589900944&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6955087412589900944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6955087412589900944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-know-somewhere-out-there-someone-is.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-2845103454223231333</id><published>2010-09-17T00:09:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T00:50:53.844+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;HARI RAYA MEMORIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years back, when I had the time to do some visiting to friend's house during the festive season.  We would go out in big groups, taking turns to visit each other's house.  I remembered clearly about an incident in one of our friend's house, who's a girl.  She was a mutual friend who was dating one of my mates.  I remembered she had a very strict father and when we visited her house, her father was literally interrogating all the guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I actually remembered clearly her father's conversation with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Father : You with the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'mop'&lt;/span&gt; hair!! &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;(that time, I had dreadlocks)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;             : What do you do? Are you even working?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;Me : Yes, I am a DJ &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;( I said proudly)&lt;/span&gt;  I work in Bangkok, and I'm back for Hari Raya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Father :  DJ??...... hahahahaah &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;(the kind of laughter that you'd get from The Count in Sesame Street)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(We all looked surprised and puzzled at his response.... then he continued)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Father :  Please la, boy.  That's not a job. That's like &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"kerja main-main"&lt;/span&gt; (playful work).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;             :  Better go find a proper job.  How are you gonna marry someone and feed someone's daughter??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that was long ago.  In fact, there have been many people who has the impression of my work as &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"main-main"&lt;/span&gt; (playful).  Maybe, due to the nature of the job scope, the environment and the people around us.  I've never given much thought about it.   However, this &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'kerja main-main'&lt;/span&gt; has helped me put a roof over my family, help feed my family and many others, brought me halfway across the world and experience things that many could only dream of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back at &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'that'&lt;/span&gt; friend..... she actually married a teacher.  Unfortunately, their marriage didn't last long, and last I heard, the marriage failed due to each other's high expectations and living above their means.  As for me, I'm fortunate enough to still be able to roam freely without any restrictions, commitment nor bind-ed by any contract, without involving other parties.  That's how things is for me, a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sagittarius&lt;/span&gt;.  Like the book of Astrologers said - &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;let the stallion gallop freely, for it will return home when he is not saddled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moral of the story is ..................  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;don't eat too much rendang and ketupat during hari raya, coz your mind will wander to places you don't want to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TJJJ5wP3-rI/AAAAAAAACME/Mi9hXLmWM3c/s1600/DJ+Tink+Tong.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TJJJ5wP3-rI/AAAAAAAACME/Mi9hXLmWM3c/s400/DJ+Tink+Tong.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517553750035135154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2845103454223231333?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2845103454223231333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2845103454223231333&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2845103454223231333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2845103454223231333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/09/hari-raya-memories-many-years-back-when.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TJJJ5wP3-rI/AAAAAAAACME/Mi9hXLmWM3c/s72-c/DJ+Tink+Tong.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-9054714761214712395</id><published>2010-09-04T12:30:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T12:48:34.289+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Here's something to wonder and ponder, if you get the answer, try and Holla!

Had to take a break from work coz I can't think anymore.  Maybe the course of my work and what I do, it looks like a &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'playful'&lt;/span&gt; thing.  It's not a serious job.  Serious means being corporate and dealing with multi-million dollars, whereas, DJ equipments, entertainment, talents..... are just &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'toys'&lt;/span&gt; and playful things.  Its true that I don't make millions but I'm grateful that I could give my family a decent living.  I don't owe people money or favours, nor have hatred in anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it is easier to blame others for any problems that come onto you.  It's kinda natural that we prefer not to look at ourselves first.  Being said that, let me take the responsibility and absorb the faults of others.  It's not gonna make me any more or lesser rich, nor I give a shit!  If mis-communication is the base of all separations, how about communication - which mostly taken out of context, just to aggravate sourness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through time, I've learned to keep my mouth shut and just observe.  Through time, I've learned to speak the truth even if it hurts, especially to love ones.  Through time, I've learned that it won't hurt as much if it was taken in an open mind and not specifically targeted at a particular being.  Through time, I've learn to forgive and learn........ for the sake of love.  Through time also I learned that one speaks of something but feel and meant the opposite.  If you're not confused yet, you're definitely a better person than I am.  That means, I'm just like the rest....... imperfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many a times, I heard a conversations between couples that goes like .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;women&lt;/span&gt; : you're not single anymore.  whatever you do will affect us as a couple. there are some things you should change........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;man&lt;/span&gt;      : for the sake our our future, I'll make do my part.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;months later......... after some changes and a different level of commitment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;women&lt;/span&gt; :  you're not the man I knew.........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;man      :&lt;/span&gt;  the man you knew were single, free and uncommitted........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;bear in mind that these conversation is not directed or has got nothing to do with anyone, any situations at any time.  It's just something that passed my mind few years back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, best friends should be able to take criticism and talk about finding solutions together instead of leaving it to follow where the wind blows.  In time, it will fly far away that it'll get lost and never find its way back.  Shit happens too many times.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-667694053894762357?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/667694053894762357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=667694053894762357&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/667694053894762357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/667694053894762357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/09/something-just-triggered-my-mood-and.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-60321814620005226</id><published>2010-09-01T00:33:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T00:43:23.428+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TH0vAMtvVFI/AAAAAAAACLs/dJyUMg1fcBI/s1600/DNSC2000_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TH0vAMtvVFI/AAAAAAAACLs/dJyUMg1fcBI/s400/DNSC2000_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511613199430931538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So....... it's finally here, in Singapore, en-route to Australia for another trade show.  It came directly from Ibiza after being tested by all the DJs in Pacha, Space and Amnesia.  All gave very positive feedback.  Currently, I have it in my studio.  Decided not to open it nor test it.  This time, I'm gonna let the others do it........... Not that I'm lazy or so, but, there's too much whining from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'some'&lt;/span&gt; people that they don't get to get a feel of the new stuffs.  So, there you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I find it very funny...... irritatingly funny.  Few weeks back, they claim that the product is 'nonsense', can't sell, bla, bla, bla......... then, when they heard it's here, all want to have the privilege to showcase it to the community.  I bet you they gonna bitch about it when other products come in........ that's how it works here in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, don't ask me how it works or how good this is......... I don't know.  When I'm ready, I'll post the video.

Better if you mix with Engrish-speaking fwens."&lt;/span&gt;  So, I did.  Even though I didn't excel in my Engrish but I have since manage to write a few postings in my blog, wrote articles published in some magazines and hosted a few shows for the mass public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I felt like I have been neglecting my own mother-tongue, the Malay language.  Even though I managed to exhume a few praises from the former ministers like Sidek Saniff, Ahmad Mattar and Cikgu Suratman Markasan at a recent event which I hosted, in Malay!!  I think I could do better with an improved vocabulary of the Malay language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, with that in mind I decided to improve myself, and that was when I remembered the former teacher's saying.  I took the first Malay language peripheral I found at home and read it.  It was a Malay magazine - Media Hiburan.  To my disappointment, not only the words are still the same as it was 20 years ago, I thought I found spelling mistakes in all the articles.  No improvement there, I decided to take the second advice.  Start mixing with Malay-speaking fwens.  Here is where I encounter more problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a week with my Malay-speaking fwens..... I came home more confused than before as I didn't understand many parts of the conversation,  In fact, I tried looking up some words in the Kamus (Malay Dictionary), but to no avail.  Not sure if it's just me or the Malay language has gotten too sophisticated.  Here's a list of words and phrases that I was still trying to figure out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;sachok, sachek - ??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;wancheng - ???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;berg - ???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;step yek - ??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;kajon - ??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"fuh, dek ni duk sek ah!"&lt;/span&gt; (referring to a girl?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"mesti potong angin"&lt;/span&gt; - (I dunno what they were referring to....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"ada budak kena kicap!"&lt;/span&gt; (I think it refers to a fight?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"gua tak bohong ah, depan lampu gua cakap....."&lt;/span&gt; (got this from a fwen....)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-3127721350408498526?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/3127721350408498526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=3127721350408498526&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3127721350408498526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3127721350408498526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/08/long-ago-while-in-school-my-engrish.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGzYDj3rs8I/AAAAAAAACLM/29_UmBnCvpM/s72-c/melayu.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-8917207283200474665</id><published>2010-08-17T21:49:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-17T22:13:37.739+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGqX4rH1XwI/AAAAAAAACLE/VQ4Em71lXGA/s1600/slave.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGqX4rH1XwI/AAAAAAAACLE/VQ4Em71lXGA/s400/slave.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506380494317903618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, as I was breaking fast, I had my mind on the YOG volunteers.  Not all, but the local volunteers....... especially those who had to &lt;a href="http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/08/17/singapore-volunteers-forced-to-work-long-hours-without-rest-for-yog/"&gt;'volunteer'&lt;/a&gt; out of their own free will.  Yeah, we know that many of the volunteers had to do it or risk having their grades, testimonial or course results being compromised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was wondering how they were today.  Whether they have eaten, how much has the food improved, etc.  It is no secret that some of the international delegates behave in unacceptable manner and treat our volunteers like slaves.  They know as host nations, our volunteers are held hostage to any of their request, in return of just a simple smile and an appreciative gesture.  I was told, only a handful of these athletes are like that.... and those are the ones from the smaller African countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if they know who Kunta Kinte is ..........??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8917207283200474665?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8917207283200474665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8917207283200474665&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8917207283200474665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8917207283200474665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/08/today-as-i-was-breaking-fast-i-had-my.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGqX4rH1XwI/AAAAAAAACLE/VQ4Em71lXGA/s72-c/slave.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1043098928819520037</id><published>2010-08-15T13:08:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T14:59:58.837+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGeJ7fhgNhI/AAAAAAAACK8/usZL7QzS1GA/s1600/YOG.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGeJ7fhgNhI/AAAAAAAACK8/usZL7QzS1GA/s400/YOG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505520724651030034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was watching the news on TV and saw how excited my fellow Singaporeans about the &lt;a href="http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/08/15/netizens-lampooned-yog-opening-ceremony-as-an-international-disgrace/"&gt;opening of the YOG&lt;/a&gt;.  The never-ending praises and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'proudness'&lt;/span&gt; of being a Singaporean after the gutsy display of 'Youth' performance and technology........... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Really&lt;/span&gt;?!  A wise-old man use to tell me, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"for every 10 person who says you're ugly, there'll be 10 more who will say the opposite"&lt;/span&gt;.  As we already know that it is just another propaganda, we, the normal Singaporeans, will only see what we're required to see....... on TV.  Didn't I say before that our TV has something in common with the North Korean TV...???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up....... congrats to Ivan - Creative Director and the whole technical team for the opening show.  I know some people involve in the production team, and they've done some commendable things.  Above it all....... how much difference is this from the NDP segments??  Same idea different concept?  The showcase of how Singapore, from a fishing village turned into a metropolitan country.  I heard someone whispered to me....... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"If you think you know better, do lor......!"&lt;/span&gt;  Seriously, with a budget of even a 10%th of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;$389 million&lt;/span&gt;,  come try me (us).  With partners like &lt;a href="http://www.aims-marketing.com/WEB/ABOUT_AIMS.html"&gt;AIMS&lt;/a&gt;, and many others, I'm sure we can come out with something '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;interesting&lt;/span&gt;'.  Speaking of which...... how come the organizers couldn't reach an agreement with Sean Kingston's performance fees, which resulted in his MIA during the opening show.  My question is, why didn't this issue sorted out way before the programme is confirmed?? Ok, enough of the opening event.  We'll let you ponder about the show, as it will be on repeated telecast for the rest of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the things that really made me cringe (apart from the 'Oh Yeah' song), is how they made (or force) &lt;a href="http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/08/14/primary-school-students-forced-to-stand-in-the-rain-to-welcome-yog-torch-rally/"&gt;Primary school students to stand in the rain to welcome the YOG torch&lt;/a&gt;.  Were there any consent forms from the parents?  Did any of the kids feel sick?  Were there any safety measures taken as it was raining and there were some lighting flash??  This is similar to how we see the kindergarten students having to come out on a hot Sunday morning, waving the 'flags', because some MP in white is coming to the neighbourhood.  Do you think they want to?  Especially without the reward of a MacDonald's Happy meal.  Talking about meals, I think our &lt;a href="http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/08/14/the-plight-of-singapore-volunteers-at-the-youth-olympic-village/"&gt;YOG volunteers&lt;/a&gt; would be extremely grateful if their meals are of MacDee's Happy meal.  I wonder how're they doing today?? I wonder what are they eating today........? I was glad that I pulled out from being a volunteer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was watching the repeat telecast of the repeated reports on the YOG network channel, I notice there are only 6 teams in the Soccer tournament?  If the Youth Olympics is just second to the Olympics, why didn't the big countries participate??  Don't even ask about the young teams from Argentina, England, Holland or even Spain....... where are our neighbours Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia??  Long ago, they taught us in school, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'it's not only about winning or losing, participation already makes you a winner....'&lt;/span&gt; so what happen ah...??!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, maybe it's not fair to only point out the setbacks, faults and disgruntles of the YOG.  I'm sure there a some good things that come out of these such as .......... err.......... mmmmm........ I'll get back to you on that.  Anyway, there are many other &lt;a href="http://www.temasekreview.com/category/yog/"&gt;stories&lt;/a&gt; out there to add to this post.  It's up to each and their own to decide, choose and ponder of these writes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, to the young state representatives, I know how excited it is to have the nation's flag on your uniform.  I've been in that situation before, so, I know.  Be proud and enjoy the moment.  Btw, I'm sorry that I will not pay $30 to watch any of the games.  You want us to come support, you give privilege to Singaporeans.  We are already paying for the all these.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1043098928819520037?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1043098928819520037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1043098928819520037&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1043098928819520037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1043098928819520037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/08/was-watching-news-on-tv-and-saw-how.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGeJ7fhgNhI/AAAAAAAACK8/usZL7QzS1GA/s72-c/YOG.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-7948490851992108086</id><published>2010-08-14T14:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-14T15:16:50.621+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGY8EgftkQI/AAAAAAAACK0/7hzres2VHlA/s1600/IMG_0349.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TGY8EgftkQI/AAAAAAAACK0/7hzres2VHlA/s400/IMG_0349.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505153642647097602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My VESTAX tee signed by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Qbert"&gt;DJ QBert.&lt;/a&gt;  Btw,  I realized that quite a number of new generation DJs who doesn't know QBert, Grand Wizard Theodore or even Jam Master Jay.  Some commented that it is not important to know these names coz it's associated with Turntablism.  Most newbies get into the fray with dreams of being another Armin, Guetta or Sinclair, as these jocks are widely known in the Electronic Dance Music scene.

Here, the government is taking great pains to make sure the level of service, hospitality and convenience is at it's best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, all these effort may go to waste just because when those visitors tried talking to service staffs, they'll get this question.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="result_box" class="short_text"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(230, 236, 249); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" title=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;你說普通話?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Btw, does anybody know whats the national language is...???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-3008089666766816922?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/3008089666766816922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=3008089666766816922&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3008089666766816922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3008089666766816922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/08/so-yog-festivities-has-started.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFd5q7Z8ZAI/AAAAAAAACKk/KFwCmKKnGKE/s72-c/cheenastarbuck.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4928029462030904602</id><published>2010-08-03T09:03:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-03T09:23:17.762+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_561244.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;WHO'S NEXT??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFdu7aa7-aI/AAAAAAAACKM/PjjjHacljRg/s1600/dont1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFdu7aa7-aI/AAAAAAAACKM/PjjjHacljRg/s400/dont1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500987436839991714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama-mama announces that the withdrawal exercise will start soon, 31st August to be precise.

Those army personnel who's coming home...... what are they gonna do? Most will never get back to society.  Even if they do, the chances of psychological after-effects will remain in anything they do.  The bulk of the US military personnel are young people who were drafted from the slums, projects or when they finished high school.  How are these people gonna get back to real-life in America?

While at the top, got to see parts of the rehearsal of YOG opening.  It set me thinking back to where I was 1 year ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometime last year, I was offered the job to be part of the EXCO team to run the recreational village for the young Olympians at the NTI premises.  As much as I was estatic to the offer, I had to turn it down coz at first they wanted me to be a Volunteer....... (for a whole year?)  WTF?!  Later on, they offered a sum of $2k/mth with a minimum working hours of 12hr/day.  In short, I put aside the whole idea of joining the team.  Anyway, that's not the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I didn't regret it a bit even though I'm still unemployed.  Don't get me wrong, it's great that Singapore is the venue for the inaugaural Youth Olympics.  I was kinda excited about it, especially with all the hype, events and support for the younger athletes.  The city looks nice and ready to open up to the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What made me lose interest and embarassed about this whole thing is....................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;THE STUPID JJ LIN SONG AND IT'S ACTIONS!!!!

The response was unexpectedly overwhelming and fast that we ran out of the controller in 3 days.  No thanks to the people in Jakarta as they bought all the 15pcs of excess stocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently,  the jocks in Jakarta are fast getting into the digital set-ups.  To them, having the versatility of playing with analog and digital is a commendable trait.  Unfortunately, that can't be said the same way here.  Some people here, detest DJs playing with softwares or digital set-ups.  They will only make friends or allow other DJs to be part of their &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'circle of trust'&lt;/span&gt; only if you're purely vinyl or CD.  Well, it's alright. I detest boys smelling other boy's bootie...... whatever suit your style, aite. (btw, to those boys..... if you wanna smell my vinyl collection, let mw know, aite....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this morning I got a couple of emails from potential customers threatening to buy the out-of-stock controllers from other dealers.   In fact, they even asked for big discounts because they, as customers, have been waiting for 2 weeks for the new stocks to arrive and they demand their &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'rights'&lt;/span&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly, I'm really sorry that the stocks are late as it has to be shipped down from Germany and go through all the unnecessary red-tapes.  I know how it feels..... &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'the agony of waiting!'&lt;/span&gt;  If I may, I would definitely throw in some freebies or something to pacify the addiction.  On a different note, I don't remember Apple giving discounts to it's customers when iPad goes out-of-stock and we all have to wait for another month or two?? Oh, wait a minute..... we're not Apple.  But then again......... ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there it is...... the new stocks will not be in for another few days.  Either you guys wait, or, go get it from another dealer.  Be prepared to pay $200 more, work with an older firmware, and, keep my mobile number coz you need to call me for after-sales support......... coz they will not give you any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some asked why I'm being too nice to these boys (who are my customers).  The younger generation need support from seasoned people like us.  Its a pity to see them get scounded by dealers whose only interest is to get rid of their stock, without offering any advise or support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFPFN-0b9UI/AAAAAAAACJ8/6m29ykWgkIM/s1600/IE+LTD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFPFN-0b9UI/AAAAAAAACJ8/6m29ykWgkIM/s400/IE+LTD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499956413941413186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come for a visit, you'll understand why it's not a retail shop........ it is the EMBRACE Showroom.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-9016062641203586775?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/9016062641203586775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=9016062641203586775&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/9016062641203586775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/9016062641203586775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/07/high-on-controllerism-few-weeks-back-i.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TFPCJ6a5afI/AAAAAAAACJ0/N3xmspirsos/s72-c/reloopdjie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5902306151090872151</id><published>2010-07-24T14:06:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2010-07-24T14:41:23.761+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;Thank You Note.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just got back from a quick visit to Saigon for the PALME Vietnam exhibition.  It has been a long time since I actually feel the vibe at the exhibition, but of course, no thanks to the organizers.  It's the friends that made it worthwhile.

(Malay men are useless!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, this is not a debate to show the male ego side of me, nor it is to correct the writer, Ms Lulu Marlya.  As it has all been in this blog, I'm looking at it from a different perspective, different environment and a sub-culture which is not favoured by our people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the reasons why Malay women opt for the non-Malays are :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Lack of academic qualifications&lt;br /&gt;- Failure to communicate broadly due to the lack of knowledge&lt;br /&gt;- Malay men are more egoistic compared to other races&lt;br /&gt;- Malay men thinks they are of higher status than women&lt;br /&gt;- the more qualified men are all taken.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be frank, I do agree with those reason to a certain extent.  I, myself have come across Malay men who has the failure to communicate due to their limitations of knowledge, superbly-egoistic (we called it Mat-Champion), lack of academic qualifications and such.  But..... I have also met many who are the opposites. Does this writer heard of the single guys at APM, 4PM or even Mendaki?  The women interviewed also mentioned that the good ones are all taken..... hmm.  Wait a minute...... are these reports taken from the 12 women she interviewed or.... her perceptions from the thesis she did??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, looking at the writer's pic, her name, dress-sense and family profile.... the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'foreign-factor'&lt;/span&gt; does play a part in her findings.  But again, this is just me being judgemental and stereotyping of the Malay women.   In fact, how these women socialize does have a great influence in what kind of men they prefer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-size:78%;" &gt;(actually, I wrote a 300-words rebuttal of these report.  but I soon realize that it is useless to post them as the report was written based from an egoistic view of a Malay women who thinks that she's 'all-that'.  On a different note, we should have a drink and discuss 'things', no?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on, some women would prefer to lead or when thinks she is in a better position to lead due to her qualifications, position at work or how much income she brings back for the family.  If it works for the particular family, good for them.  If it doesn't...... well, move on.  Many forget about the mutual respect, love and compassion they had for each other.  Driven by the society we live in, family values are left forgotten, love took a back seat and when all is gone, we'll blame others instead of looking at the mirror first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe there are still a few good men out there.  Some are hidden, some are still waiting, and some are as confuse as I am.  Those who think there aren't any left, I think you're looking at the wrong places or haven't look hard enough.  Those who have found these men and made them wait so that you can find a better man, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(there aren't any better men)&lt;/span&gt;.  Those women who have been hiding these few good men for their own benefits - make sure these men are well-rewarded &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(with extra benefits)&lt;/span&gt;.  There are no such thing as a 100%-man.  If you got a man with 80% attributes, be thankful......... coz the 20% will come from the women who loves her man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we should learn to be thankful with what we got ....... Syukur Alhamdulillah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TDlvtBdeycI/AAAAAAAACJE/JZDCuIowhMU/s1600/good-men.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TDlvtBdeycI/AAAAAAAACJE/JZDCuIowhMU/s400/good-men.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492544039831914946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"a few good men...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-6024586788583986273?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/6024586788583986273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=6024586788583986273&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6024586788583986273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6024586788583986273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-malay-women-choose-foreign-partners.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TDlvtBdeycI/AAAAAAAACJE/JZDCuIowhMU/s72-c/good-men.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-6296581850137995719</id><published>2010-07-03T14:04:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-07-03T14:56:19.652+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;Project 2010?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TC7eAd0xhFI/AAAAAAAACI8/H_hi_OZzW24/s1600/tots.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TC7eAd0xhFI/AAAAAAAACI8/H_hi_OZzW24/s400/tots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489569095398556754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few years ago, there was a project called 2010.  Not really sure what the real details are but it's something about the sports fraction aiming for the 2010 World Cup.  Yup, the target was for the Singapore National soccer team to qualify for the World Cup.  So, here we are and Singapore doesn't even come close to beating war-torn Iraq.  What happen to the project?  God knows......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, looking at all the big soccer stars and soccer nations, most of the players actually come from humble beginnings or even hardships.  They are the ones who had nothing at all, and soccer was their way out to success.  Their hunger for making life a lil' bit better for their family was the first reason these guys gave everything to soccer, and achieving it.  These guys are always very hungry to achieve something, even when they reached the status of God-like players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some countries, like the USA, parents pay for their kids to play soccer.  Some of these kids don't even want to play soccer but were made to do that as part of their curricular activities. These are the kids who come from middle-income families to all the rich ones.  Most of them play soccer coz they have to or just for the fun of it such as socializing.  How many of them would have the hunger to achieve success and give it all??  As much as the US team are in the World Cup, they will never reach the standards of Argentina, Brazil or Uruguay.  If you wonder why teams like Nigeria are not successful anymore, it's because the players are rich people now and they got nothing much to fight for themselves.  Ever wonder why the French team acted like they did in the WC2010?  Well, it didn't help coz they're just French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to Singapore, I notice that for the past 3 years, the soccer culture has become familiar like the one in US.  Parents here pay for their kids to be in well-known soccer schools, mixing with expat families or train under ex-soccer celebrities whose only aim is to make sure they earn enough for a car, condo, annual holidays and dining in restaurants every other day.  Do you think the new generation will be hungry to achieve all this?  By that, means a whole lot of sacrifices, determination and discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember those days where we see kids playing soccer at the void decks, basketball courts, carpark, etc.  Name it, well make a pitch out of it.  Nowadays, u don't even see them anywhere.  Sometimes, not even on the futsal courts coz the Mat-Reps are there to loiter and create nuisance.  Not forgetting we have to pay like a gazillion dollars just to play soccer on a proper pitch.  With all these, what actually make you think that we gonna be in the world cup in the near future??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's more to be said but, would anybody even bother?

With much pleasure I said &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'fond memories'&lt;/span&gt; coz that was the only thing I could remember.  At times, I felt dumbfounded, flabbergasted and mostly yakety...... there were too much to catch up, too much to tell, too much to say, too much to show.  Unfortunately, time wasn't in our favour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TCdTjA1x2MI/AAAAAAAACI0/KE59Xowu7Bw/s1600/MPS20101.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TCdTjA1x2MI/AAAAAAAACI0/KE59Xowu7Bw/s400/MPS20101.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487446531960330434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, worth the time.  As expected, there were changes in all forms imaginable to the human anatomy, but, the kid-self in all of us was still there.  I'm glad that it stayed like that.  Still, I wish I had more time to stay and catch up.  However, with the technology we have now, there is no reason why we can't keep ourselves updated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there you go.

He called to ask me for help in getting him proper DJ equipments.  As far as I know, he just bought new equipments like less than 6 months ago.  When I asked him what happened, he answered, that his DJ always &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'chao-beat'&lt;/span&gt; during sets, player stops abruptly and the sound level goes uncontrollably haywire.  When he asked his DJ what happen, the DJ told him that the equipments sucks and is not of &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'industry standard'&lt;/span&gt;.  FYI, the equipments was not Pioneer, Denon, Vestax or Numark.  It was from another reliable brand but from the mid-range product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The owner also said that his DJ had asked for Pioneer CDJ2000, which he claims to be the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'industry standard'&lt;/span&gt; for DJs.  However, the bar owner is not willing to splurge $7000 for the Pioneer stuffs.  He also asked if I have similar products that cost lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After much thought, I decided not to take advantage of his &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'misfortune'&lt;/span&gt; by selling him stuffs.  Instead, I told him to try changing his DJ before replacing his existing DJ set.  Some of the reasons I told him was........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;1.  Those equipments are non-living things, the operator is.  Maybe the operator has insufficient knowledge to handle such equipments.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  The present equipments he has is also seen being use in bigger clubs, and there are some good reviews.  It is also quite a known brand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  Why need such an extensive set-up for a small place??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  There is no such thing as 'industry standard'........ we called it 'preferred choice'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, that's how the scene here in Singapore.  There are some really good DJs who can play with anything but don't get a chance, whereas, there's also mediocre DJs who doesn't have basics but has the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'voice of a lion'&lt;/span&gt;.  There are some bar owners who do care about their DJs, unfortunately, they don't justify their concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In simple words, CAN means CAN...... got proper basics can play anything.  Its a matter of whether you like it or not.  Don't like, don't play lor........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3-YIRS0lS-w&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3-YIRS0lS-w&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-365259890045336479?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/365259890045336479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=365259890045336479&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/365259890045336479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/365259890045336479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-just-put-phone-down-after-35-minute.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBkJrcBM4QI/AAAAAAAACIU/fhXrDnoIxgc/s72-c/dj-hero.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-8401849219268838295</id><published>2010-06-10T11:33:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-10T15:08:30.206+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;WHERE IS THE LOVE..........??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I am again trying to glorify the past.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBCEEbJbmyI/AAAAAAAACIE/KiAK-YpmwOg/s1600/razaq42Korg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBCEEbJbmyI/AAAAAAAACIE/KiAK-YpmwOg/s400/razaq42Korg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481025958051552034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Glorifying my past, no?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many of us (people like me), we got into DJ-ing because of the love of music and the passion of sharing our love to other people.  Nothing beats the feeling of having people tell you that they enjoyed your music or they had fun during ur sets, or even, the next day these people called you and thank you for a great night that hey can't even remember.  The main reason for all these are our love and passion for the music and what we do.  From that on, DJs worked hard to search for quality sounds, remixes or even making their own music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays, it seems that not many DJs can do that.  Not because they don't want to, but, these DJs are very much occupied with other stuffs...... most of it is non-DJ-related nor it is music-related.  These days, instead of concentrating on their music or sets, DJs had to think about how they are gonna get their payment from promoters/organizers, some had to think about ways of making themselves commercially viable for the business (it doesn't matter what is the standard of DJ-ing).  On other levels, instead of concentrating on music, DJs had to double-up as technicians, general artisans or even scapegoats.  Some even have to babysit managements, especially the ignorant ones.  If this is already too much work, how about after all that, some DJs still need time to bitch or brag about each other's prowess.  Damn, it is really tough being a DJ nowadays.  With all the 'extra' work, who has time for the love-of-music??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBCEgjD0lYI/AAAAAAAACIM/eYdPEc1Pd2w/s1600/djrz.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBCEgjD0lYI/AAAAAAAACIM/eYdPEc1Pd2w/s400/djrz.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481026441211843970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;where got time for music...?? busy, busy!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was quite fortunate to keep this passion privately nowadays.  No more DJ-ing for me for the public.  Ever since I was told that I was not good enuff for Singapore DJ scene, that was it for me.  Time to let the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'intelligent'&lt;/span&gt; ones grow and take centre stage.  Ever since I saw a DJ from UK  'specially' flown in for an event, and watched him struggle to operate a CDJ and a turntable, I knew the end was near.  (If not mistaken it was at a Chivas event at Gallery Hotel 2yrs ago)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the passion for the art of DJ-ing and music still burning high, I thought I can still contribute something to the scene.  Maybe not as a DJ, and that is why I started my own showroom that deals with music-related or DJ-related stuffs.    This way, I don't have to bother who 'rocked' the best party last night, whose crowd scream the loudest, who has the best remixes or who has the loudest applause.  As long as you enjoyed your sets, ur music and went home happy, that I think is a bless.  Sometimes it gets pretty monotonous that same people rocked same place every night....... same crew got screwed every night........ same remix got mixed every night and same heart got broken every night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was living in Bangkok and traveling to parts of Asia, I notice how the locals protect their own talents.  It took lots of pacifying, patience and humbleness before we get noticed and respected by the local jocks.  Somehow, I can't say the same here.  I'm still hoping that it would change soon (wishful thinking).  We have many good local DJs and many more haters.  But that's how things are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a final note, with the existence of my showroom and my interest of making proper DJ tools affordable, I hope to meet more local talents/DJs, and share the experience.  Enough of the bickering in the forums by those 15yr-old twarts.   We need to protect our kind, back in the 80s, the laymen call us ........ 'one-of-a-kind'.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8401849219268838295?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8401849219268838295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8401849219268838295&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8401849219268838295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8401849219268838295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/06/where-is-love.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TBCEEbJbmyI/AAAAAAAACIE/KiAK-YpmwOg/s72-c/razaq42Korg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1259961077771267972</id><published>2010-06-05T21:33:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-05T21:57:21.083+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TApW_ab3SzI/AAAAAAAACH8/AYsCmnAb5kg/s1600/buffet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TApW_ab3SzI/AAAAAAAACH8/AYsCmnAb5kg/s400/buffet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479287544077568818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, what's the deal with Mediacorp and food programmes??  Once, they were so desperate at putting on a food show, that even a crappy-badly-dubbed programme got a slot during primetime TV on CH5.  After the short-lived JadeSeah-Good-Deal food show sometime ago, here again they came out with a &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;'&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;newly-improved, ground-breaking'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; food programme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So..... what's with having 'babes' in cocktail dresses stuffing food while trying..... I mean &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;TRYING&lt;/span&gt; to look hot.... (in every sense of the word).  We all know Singaporeans like to eat, but do they think all of us are clueless about where's the good food is?  How about affordable, good food!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if the producers were trying to do this as part of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'personal gains'&lt;/span&gt;?  Due to their love of food and eating out, help promote some establishments.  And of coz....... "a lil' help can go a long way........"  If that's the way how thing is going..... we should be expecting more crappy food programmes in the near future.  Just like some other establishmenst, who are run by clueless individuals, where they rule with personal perception without even looking out the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, that's how our society works nowadays.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1259961077771267972?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1259961077771267972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1259961077771267972&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1259961077771267972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1259961077771267972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/06/seriously-whats-deal-with-mediacorp-and.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TApW_ab3SzI/AAAAAAAACH8/AYsCmnAb5kg/s72-c/buffet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-3204319427053216199</id><published>2010-06-04T08:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T08:18:32.913+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;Start spinnin' now!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAhGJ_iINXI/AAAAAAAACH0/6_Bm63TeNwY/s1600/999june2010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAhGJ_iINXI/AAAAAAAACH0/6_Bm63TeNwY/s400/999june2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478706084183553394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-3204319427053216199?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/3204319427053216199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=3204319427053216199&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3204319427053216199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3204319427053216199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/06/start-spinnin-now.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAhGJ_iINXI/AAAAAAAACH0/6_Bm63TeNwY/s72-c/999june2010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-3191537052364791932</id><published>2010-06-02T23:28:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-03T00:50:42.185+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAaKpqP2Q6I/AAAAAAAACHk/doQRgEXx9IU/s1600/old+campaign.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAaKpqP2Q6I/AAAAAAAACHk/doQRgEXx9IU/s400/old+campaign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478218445062816674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Singapore has been known for it's success (or not) with the various national campaigns.  We use to have the Courtesy campaign, Speak Mandarin campaign, Garden City campaign, Road Safety campaign, Romancing Singapore campaign and loads of others that actually made it to the World's Weirdest Campaigns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I may suggest...... (being a law-abiding, grump-full, brainwashed, and secluded minority citizen).... how about a campaign encouraging the inhabitants and 'habitants' of this tiny island...... to pucker-up, clean themselves up and try (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;if possible&lt;/span&gt;) to smell good.  Yup..... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SMELL GOOD&lt;/span&gt;, if not, at least tolerable to other living things around you.  I've been a victim to BBO, not just Body Odour, but &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BAD BODY ODOUR!&lt;/span&gt;!  It has physically and mentally affected me that some parts of my life has changed.  Nowadays, I get this thing called &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:new gothic nt;" &gt;&lt;a name="A-"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Autodysomophobi&lt;/span&gt;a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.  No, it's not a joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I had the opportunity to use the public transport to commute between home and work.  Most times, going to work is a breeze.  However, coming back, in the public transport.... that's where the symptoms start kicking in. I'm sorry I can't explain what it's all about, but I'm sure you people would understand where I'm coming from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a thought...... sometimes, I see those people at MRT stations with the SECURITY vests, standing at their counter.  Isn't it part of their job to secure the subways of all threats, domestic or foreign....... ALL threats!! Be it physical or mental...... I think &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'body odour&lt;/span&gt;' comes under mental AND physical threat.  Sometimes, I see those MRT staff in the trains.... those in red uniforms and white gloves.  What are they there for?? To usher people to their seats?  How about consolidating those with BO into a different carriage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, are the roll-ons or cologne or parfumes getting too expensive that people are excusing themselves from smelling good.  Maybe, all these scented products doesn't work in our humidity?  Maybe someone should invent a cologne or parfume for people in humid countries? Or maybe, there are too many types or brands of such products that people get confuse, and end up not buying any??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once, I was at Mustafa Ctr at 2am with the Mrs.  While she was browsing for DVDs, I was watching a group of Ah Neh (visitors) trying to choose from a range of body sprays.  There were signs that says......&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;"Body Spray - 3 for $5!"&lt;/span&gt;  As I can see from where I was standing, there was only 3 different types seperated by colour, blue, red and green.  Those Ah Nehs (5 of them) were in an intense conversation and at times, it looks like they were arguing...... as to which 3 they are gonna pick.  This fracas when on for nearly 15mins, which end up with them walking away without buying the body sprays.  I wonder if it was the price (3 for $5) that was bugging them, or was it because they couldn't find a scent with the colour brown....?! God knows..??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have recorded the session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAaK6XTrEhI/AAAAAAAACHs/aQD0Zk0h1U0/s1600/BO.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAaK6XTrEhI/AAAAAAAACHs/aQD0Zk0h1U0/s400/BO.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478218732036362770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-3191537052364791932?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/3191537052364791932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=3191537052364791932&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3191537052364791932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/3191537052364791932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/06/singapore-has-been-known-for-its.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/TAaKpqP2Q6I/AAAAAAAACHk/doQRgEXx9IU/s72-c/old+campaign.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5265521465624730866</id><published>2010-05-16T23:29:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-16T23:56:58.357+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;YOG 2010 Cheer - IT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF OUR YOUTH!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-OHxeY_4WE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-OHxeY_4WE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This song/cheer or whatever they wanna call it, has single-handedly made us a laughing stock among the youth of the world.  Does this really reflect the Singapore youth?  Is this the kind of standard of creativity we have in Singapore.  After spending millions of dollars on Arts Festival, Youth Day Celebrations, Street Festivals, etc...... is this the best we can come out with??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I need some enlightenment from the marketing or selection team of the YOG.  Which part of this video is gonna motivate the youth? Which part of this video reflects the creativity, spontaneity and talents of our REAL youth?  Who the hell is heading the YOG marketing team.  Are they volunteers also?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a feeling that the marketing team are the same people who did the SHENG SIONG tv advert..... (the one where aunties and uncles dab their chest twice and point their fingers at you...) WTF!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing for sure is, this is the same problem that most corporate companies are facing.  They refuse to listen to the focus group that matters.  Decision makers decide on what they think is right for them, but not for the occasion, situation, passion or perception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The synchronized dancing with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'fire-ball'&lt;/span&gt; thingy..... what the hell was that all about??!!  Do they really think that our youth are still into the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'fire-ball&lt;/span&gt;' games, videos and characters?? Do they actually know what our youths are doing or achieving right now??  Or are they (the marketing team) doing all these based on their own experiences??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever it is....... this cheer/song is a total embarassment.  I think I speak for those who have worn the nations colours for such events.  This video is demoralizing and a total embarassment to our youth's talents and creativity.  I know at least a dozen young people who are capable of producing a better melody, song, beat....... and more than a dozen more who can choreograph a better cheer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LehZXyPjqyM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LehZXyPjqyM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a much better video...... at least the youth can relate to and have fun with it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5265521465624730866?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5265521465624730866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5265521465624730866&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5265521465624730866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5265521465624730866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/05/yog-2010-cheer-it-is-not-reflection-of.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5668006959214942105</id><published>2010-05-16T15:09:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-16T15:46:26.543+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Back in the Day.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dufk5_HHvog&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dufk5_HHvog&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last nights gig on the catamaran was mediocre.  Nothing great happening, it was just like a 'passing-cloud'.... something that I do to pass time.  What's great about it was, it was like a small reunion among the 'staffers'. Yes it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night's event was emceed by Justin Mission, backed by his DJ Patrick, and I came in to 'rock-the-boat' (so cliche right!)  Well, it was actually a 21st birthday party of a rich-kid.  Daddy rented a catamaran for the whole day for her close friends, they got Justin to emcee and me to do the party set.  I know what you thinking....... Birthday party of a 21-yr old, for about 30 pax on a catamaran with Justin Mission as emcee??!! Apparently, Daddy didn't spare anything for his only daughter.  He wanted the best of the best on her 21st birthday party.  Oh, I forgot to mention.  There was also an acoustic band, who had to stop after 2 songs during their last set.  The band had to make way for........... Yours truly. (ok, I'm an asshole) Not really, maybe I look better than 3 of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it was fun for us, coz, after so many years, Justin, Najee and myself found ourself together again doing what we use to do many years ago during the mobile disco days.  And for the record, nothing much has change since the 'golden days'.  Justin's DJ, Patrick, is still one of the best mobile jock to have supported any emcee.  As for Justin, some people would argue that the bald-headed-crazy-muthafarker overcharge his services.  If you are one of the most sort-after emcees in the region, would you start charging such amount?  Furthermore, he works very hard for himself to command the respect and adoration from the corporate people.  Nothing wrong with that.  If you notice I keep swearing and cursing Justin in this post, it is because that's how we communicate to each other all these while...... since 15 yrs ago or maybe more.  That's like, since the Victor Khoo days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all, we had a good time despite the ignorants of the birthday girl's friends.  For the record, I was engaged to strictly play HOUSE (as requested by the birthday girl).  As you would have guessed, that didn't happen.  Then again, for a 2-hr gig at $1.2k......... it's all good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, need to get new kicks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5668006959214942105?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5668006959214942105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5668006959214942105&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5668006959214942105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5668006959214942105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/05/back-in-day.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-2711447651867517960</id><published>2010-05-15T11:49:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-15T12:17:17.803+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-4f4KzlylI/AAAAAAAACHM/5oku8Ff0688/s1600/oops.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 331px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-4f4KzlylI/AAAAAAAACHM/5oku8Ff0688/s400/oops.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471345647135607378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just got a phonecall.......... it says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Please stop what you're doing!!

Go sell la.  What about those DJs who deserve their own console according to their budget?  Why should we deprive them of such needs?  First you people talk about wanting to do for the DJ scene, then, you people overcharge and lie about lots of things just to make a few bucks.  Contradicting??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do you think that I'm a threat? I may not even last a full year.  I'm may just be passing by. These &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'lelong'&lt;/span&gt; exercise is not gonna make me a millionaire.  So, just chillax and let others breathe for a couple of minutes.  I'll be gone before you know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way, please pay back what you owe.  You're a bad paymaster.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2711447651867517960?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2711447651867517960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2711447651867517960&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2711447651867517960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2711447651867517960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/05/just-got-phonecall.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-4f4KzlylI/AAAAAAAACHM/5oku8Ff0688/s72-c/oops.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1213445134580259917</id><published>2010-05-14T21:50:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-14T22:13:53.813+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;CRAZY SALE 'Firmware Update' Version 1.2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-1VcEr_IwI/AAAAAAAACHE/-WxH10N320A/s1600/Microsoft+Word+-+Newsletters+May+stock+update+2010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-1VcEr_IwI/AAAAAAAACHE/-WxH10N320A/s400/Microsoft+Word+-+Newsletters+May+stock+update+2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471123063107953410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Oh well, due to unexpected response and overwhelming request, I had to give away more crazy-deals for the 'underground' DJ scene.  'Underground' because I found out that there are many out there looking for tools to satisfy their music-needs.  Mostly don't want to go 'there' anymore and wanting to see something fresh.  Thats really refreshing to here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess most of them bedroom-jocks prefer buying from 'real' people, 'real' jocks.  I'm glad to have shared my knowledge and experience especially to these people whom I called CRAZY farkers.......... One of them is called Jay, from the Gurkha Contingent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay came to the showroom to see and learnt a thing or two about DJ-ing and it's equipments.  We had a good 15mins talk about the art of DJ-ing, then I went to introduce to him the DNS3500.  5 mins into the product intro, Jay stopped me and told me to pack the CD players, and a DNX1500 mixer.  SHIT!! I thought he was kidding.  I packed the whole console and helped him to the cab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moral of the story.......... 'regardless of race, language or religion; so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our SHIETTTTTT!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And btw, today this lil' girl Vannesa bought the DNS3700 console with DNX300 and DNHP700.  Watchout for this girl.  I'll make sure she's ready for the bigger console by National Day. (I didn't say which year ah!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1213445134580259917?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1213445134580259917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1213445134580259917&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1213445134580259917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1213445134580259917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/05/crazy-sale-firmware-update-version-1.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S-1VcEr_IwI/AAAAAAAACHE/-WxH10N320A/s72-c/Microsoft+Word+-+Newsletters+May+stock+update+2010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4748366022453308233</id><published>2010-05-12T23:57:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-17T16:25:06.865+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S_D8zMNDK7I/AAAAAAAACHU/yuNgcnRgwM8/s1600/DJM800.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S_D8zMNDK7I/AAAAAAAACHU/yuNgcnRgwM8/s400/DJM800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472151503634639794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  After 10 years of working under the former head honchos of LeisureWorks, Ardan Peddell and Heather Seow, recently I left to explore and conquer my own pastures.  Together with me, I brought the experience and knowledge that I gained during my stint with them.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Recently, I had an opportunity to be part of a research team which consists of audio engineers from all over Asia, acoustic engineers, club installers, DJs and magazine critics, comparing, researching some DJ audio products.  Actually, there were few other products that we were testing on but one particular product really stood out and attracted the attention of the panel of researchers.  Since it was an independant research team, we had the freedom to talk and write about the truth without having any obligation to suck on anyone's balls.  At least that was what I was told as the law in that country says so!!   &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;So, here it is....... the comparison between &lt;b&gt;Denon DJ's DNX1700 and Pioneer's DJM800&lt;/b&gt; – internationally-acclaimed club mixer, and the choice of DJs (at least 50%) all over the world.  The other 50% are shared by Allen &amp;amp; Heath, Rane, Denon DJ, Ecler, Vestax and many other brands.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;I've summarize the findings to make it 'idiot-proof' and easy-to-understand for the masses.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (apart from being a standard DJ mixer)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;The DNX1700 is without a doubt the  most versatile and best-sounding 4-channel, fully digital DJ mixer  on the planet today.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;World's first professional DJ  mixer with Audiophile 32-Bit DAC output.

Personally, I don't think that the DNX1700 will take over the club-mixer market.  It all depends on each individual club's set-up, concept, genre of music and most importantly, the DJ's preference or knowledge of his or her trade.  Just look at the Denon DJ's DNS3700 media player.  It has already proven to be the better product than the Pioneer CDJ1000 series and equivalent to the over-priced CDJ2000.  Yet, it has remain an outcast for most club DJs.  Why?? How about going back to basics.

Even the pavilion is shaped like a music box.  The message from the Singapore pavilion is to showcase the 'other-side' of Singapore's sub-culture, which is music and arts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I have to agree with some of the netizens regarding the video.  This is like telling 'some people'....... YOU FARKERS CAN WIN ALL THE SINGING COMPETITIONS AND SUCH, WE ARE STILL CALLING THE SHOTS, AND CONTROLLING THE BUSINESS.  So, there you go.... more singing competition not to find better talents but help the Telco's, broadcasters and in-betweens, becoming instant billionaires.  Vote some more la.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, I would love to see Wicked Aura Batucada, Kumar, Jive Talking, street performers/artistes and struggling musicians in a 'real-music-video'..... something upbeat, and not sorrowful, emotional melodies.  No disrespect to JJ, Steph and Tanya, I'm sure they deserved the accreditation.  In fact, I was a  fan of Tanya Chua until she traded her cowboy boots with the stilletos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be fun to see a Filipino band singing a Mandarin song at the Pavilion.  Then, the pavilion guides and Singapore representatives are all represented by staff from Shanghai and Beijing.  No wonder I got stranded at San Fran airport for suspicion of holding a Singapore passport.  Apparently, they claimed that I don't look 'Singaporean' to hold that passport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, to all those involved in the setting up and construction of the Singapore pavilion....... "Job well done!!" - you know who you are.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-6816596880862853512?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/6816596880862853512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=6816596880862853512&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6816596880862853512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6816596880862853512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/05/above-is-supposedly-multi-racial-music.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-7789530090429544290</id><published>2010-05-02T21:33:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-02T21:54:36.173+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Is this happening to you.....??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S91_H8R9aJI/AAAAAAAACG0/9vhEF6e8iAs/s1600/computer4xs1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 384px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S91_H8R9aJI/AAAAAAAACG0/9vhEF6e8iAs/s400/computer4xs1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466665297114917010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social networking site Facebook puts its users abreast of the activities of their contacts, but also can be a poison for relationships and, as revealed in a recent study, is increasing jealousy and tensions between their supporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the department of psychology at the Canadian University of Guelph, Facebook may lead to serious situations of jealousy with his continuous flow of information about what we do, who are friends and what photos appear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, who would not ever wonder why a former boyfriend or girlfriend is among contacts of your partner? Or who is that blond or blond-appearing in a very friendly attitude in the photos of our husband or our wife?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Facebook allows access to information that would otherwise not agree and this information often lacks context," he told Efe Amy Muise, one of the managers of the study at the University of Guelph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social network "is exposing more people to triggers of jealousy," he added. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study, conducted among several hundred students of which a third were women, showed that social networking site Facebook can lure us into a spiral of distrust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, a banal comment on the profile of our partner made by a contact of the opposite sex can lead to suspicion and closely monitor their Facebook page ... only to find more information feel even more suspicious and jealous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Feelings of insecurity about your partner may cause behaviors inquisitive and Facebook is easy access to this information," said Muise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many cases, the "spy" can not even control what appears on their profile or can not quickly enough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If an ex-boyfriend writes a comment on our wall or label us a photo, it may take some time before we realize it ... enough for your partner first and see what a fight erupts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muise says that psychologists and sociologists are beginning to understand how social networks affect personal relationships and cites the case of a woman who discovered that her boyfriend had broken up with her because she changed her Facebook status to "single."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, the Internet social networks are a relatively new phenomenon that still somehow we are adjusting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although today is already more than 250 million members, social networking site Facebook, for example, was until just three years ago a business network confined to the U.S. academic community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, almost everyone we know are members of the network, including current and past our spouses, our bosses and coworkers and sometimes even our parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so we continue to belong to the club at all costs, even if some masochism in seeing how our virtual cake groom sends his ex for his birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Facebook has become pervasive, especially among the age group of our study," said Muise. "Therefore, having a presence on the network can be an important aspect of our social life"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"The social networking site Facebook environment normalizes share information about us and access information from others, including our partners. And do not belong to the group may seem socially very risky," he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;From a different perspective, if your partner would rather spent time with Facebook than yourself, chances are..... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1.  you are now un-attractive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;2.  you are becoming a boring companion &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;3.

Facebook is there 24hrs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;7.  you don't respond enough to your partner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;In other words, don't blame your partner for turning to Facebook.

Rapex - dubbed the 'rape trap' - is a product worn internally by women. The hollow inside is lined with rows of razor-sharp hooks, which are designed to latch on to a rapist's penis during penetration. They can only be removed by a doctor.  &lt;p&gt; The product will be on the shelves of South African chemists and supermarkets later this month. South African mother-of-two Sonette Ehlers developed the original prototype in 2005 but has struggled to get it patented and approved for sale, not least because of staunch opposition from feminist groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="first"&gt; "Vengeful, horrible, and disgusting," was the response from Charlene Smith, one of South Africa's leading anti-rape campaigners. Lisa Vetten, of the Centre of Violence and Reconciliation in Johannesburg, says: "This is like going back to the days when women were forced to wear chastity belts. It is a terrifying thought that women are being made to adapt to rape." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   Some also fear that the sudden infliction of pain on the rapist could incite him to even greater violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W36JdcczI/AAAAAAAACF8/0oBLaoxTWOQ/s1600/rapex22.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W36JdcczI/AAAAAAAACF8/0oBLaoxTWOQ/s400/rapex22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464475932483679026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Ehlers, however, is adamant that desperate times call for desperate measures. South Africa has the world's highest rate of sexual assault: a staggering 1.7m women are raped each year. She believes the product, priced at one Rand, will be particularly useful for poorer black women who walk long distances to and from work. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; With state intervention frustratingly slow, Ehlers argues this ugly version of empowerment is justified. "I don't hate men," she says. "I have not got revenge in mind. All I am doing is giving women their power back."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W4KaB_OXI/AAAAAAAACGM/086me2l_z80/s1600/RAPEX1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 363px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W4KaB_OXI/AAAAAAAACGM/086me2l_z80/s400/RAPEX1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464476211809827186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If it has teeth, it can also talk.&lt;br /&gt;If IT can talk...... it'll be worst than gettin' bitten!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Not only that it's good for rape-victims, it would definitely comes in handy for the revenge-ful wives, ex-girlfriends or maybe....... straight guys who goes to GAY clubs and parties, but afraid of being abused.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Maybe someday, there'll be condoms that protect such device........ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these don't work anymore.......??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8JEmBfhI/AAAAAAAACGs/o3HGM6FJm0w/s1600/chastity1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8JEmBfhI/AAAAAAAACGs/o3HGM6FJm0w/s400/chastity1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464480586922032658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8E0cqP5I/AAAAAAAACGk/GUFt1lWTyTk/s1600/chastity2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8E0cqP5I/AAAAAAAACGk/GUFt1lWTyTk/s400/chastity2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464480513868316562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8Beag4vI/AAAAAAAACGc/dxIuSuKLbMQ/s1600/chastity3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W8Beag4vI/AAAAAAAACGc/dxIuSuKLbMQ/s400/chastity3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464480456414126834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8609882692577044689?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8609882692577044689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8609882692577044689&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8609882692577044689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8609882692577044689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/04/rapex.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9W4PDBWA9I/AAAAAAAACGU/UfsHTtOH2sE/s72-c/rapex-condom.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5738985631191546681</id><published>2010-04-26T15:59:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-26T17:26:24.015+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Few days ago, while I was jammin' on my 'new toys'...... a guy came up to me and started to preach about what DJ-ing is about and how to be good at.  He noticed I was 'toying' with the &lt;a href="http://www.reloopdj.com/index.php/cat/c157_Reloop-Digital-Mixing.html"&gt;Reloop Digital Jockey&lt;/a&gt; controller and claims that it will not help me get anywhere, or feel the 'real thing'.  WTF?! What 'real thing'....??

Seeing me using the Traktor Pro software, he said I should 'convert' to Serato 2.0 as it is 'more stable'... Apparently, he thinks that my 15" Macbook Pro is too big and its a waste of space in the console.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SiarKPwGLBc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SiarKPwGLBc&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this guy got problem with me, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of mankind, I did not debate him nor I disagree with anything he has to say.  I spent too much time with such personalities before, hence, I restraint myself from any unnecessary humiliation on his part.  If I had to, maybe I would say things like...... errr.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/50C8b8VB9X8&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/50C8b8VB9X8&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;this mixer for SGD$780, why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;1.  those equipments have no brains, the operator does.  It is not gonna teach you to be better, you have to do it yourself.  Unless, your brains are in between your balls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  no disrespect to Pioneer DJ gears, they are the preferred choice. But I would not want to spend $6k when I can pay $800 and still produce the same effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  "If you use high-end gears, you can get somewhere"...... get where?? If I wanna go anywhere, I'll use my VISA card.  In fact, with the Cirle line up, I can use my EZLink card and get anywhere....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. "the real-thing"..... CDJs? Wanna talk about vinyls, asshole?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  He thinks Serato is better that Traktor Pro....... because of the sample function and 3-deck capability.  That's all....??! Traktor Pro is not better coz it has too many FX, 4-deck capability and many more choices??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I should say is....... all DJs have different techniques and preferences.  If it works, nobody should say if it's wrong or right.  Equipments are no difference, some with better financial abilities would splurge on the high-end stuffs.  Others, would just make use of what is available.  In other words, Can means Can.  If you have the skills, anything can work.  If you don't, just put iPod and act....... I would also have my preferred set of equipments, but sometimes, isn't it cool to be able to conquer new products and impress people with your abilities?  I may not be a DJ, but I sure know how to play like one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SBmvx1y_Zqg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SBmvx1y_Zqg&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, no need to debate about what kinda output frequency or who has higher frequencies db output levels..... if you're using Mackie SRM450s as your speakers, non of your 'high-end' DJ equipments will make you sound like you're using Kudo, V-Dosch or the GSA systems...... period!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5738985631191546681?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5738985631191546681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5738985631191546681&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5738985631191546681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5738985631191546681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/04/few-days-ago-while-i-was-jammin-on-my.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S9VUeqQfTSI/AAAAAAAACF0/JimQ9W5oRPg/s72-c/Reloop-Digital-Jockey-Master-Edition.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4416602535413977823</id><published>2010-04-18T13:33:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T14:18:09.546+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S8qh-IVl_oI/AAAAAAAACFs/t3jS_6WJzD0/s1600/drunk-girl-pee-smile-456a110907.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S8qh-IVl_oI/AAAAAAAACFs/t3jS_6WJzD0/s400/drunk-girl-pee-smile-456a110907.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461355586902163074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the party scene in Singapore, I'm glad that HOUSE music is slowly making its mark again........ especially with the mainstream market.  Slowly, good outlets are embracing the genre and letting the mainstream know that it is still there and alive.  Those HOUSE parties are getting the respect that it deserve in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, I personally thing that a big portion of the punters are still very pretentious.  I notice they will only start dancing when they know the DJ or someone else starts dancing.  Its like..... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;"if someone is dancing, that means its a good song. If I start dancing, others may think I'm cool for digging the song..."&lt;/span&gt;  Apart from that, most of the people who supports these parties are either DJs, former DJs, wanna be DJs, haters (all sorts, not restricting to music &amp;amp; people) and clueless mofos but wanna be cool with the crowd.  Another cool thing is, there are more chicks &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;digging&lt;/span&gt; HOUSE music...... especially the Malay ones.  Due to the understanding of that, they automatically removed the &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'Minah'&lt;/span&gt; tag that has been dangling on their chest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's missing is the support for those 'unidentified' DJs.  Some of them are really good but the crowd are not so welcoming...... These guys need support from the senior ones.  I remembered back in '96 or '97..... a DJ-turned-flight steward-turned DJ came up to me when I was still a newbie in the club.  He said, &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;"Dude, you selections are awesome, but you need to work on the technical part and programming.  With a vibe like this, you'll stay in the business for sometime."&lt;/span&gt; You really need such support.  That guy talking to me was Brendon P.  Maybe he was nice to me coz I was the last DJ ever produced by the Juliana's group.  Btw, not many people would know Juliana's, thus, they don't care.  But if you ever hear our clubs, parties, achievements....... you wouldn't believe that it was all manage from an office in Haw Par Glass Tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on, soon, I'm gonna be running a small outlet myself.  It will be musically driven with new unknown DJs.  I'm sure I'm not gonna make millions out of it, but, someone will benefit from this exercise.  While others wanna just talk, let me try and get things started.  So, there it is...... we are doing our part, what's yours?  Are you ready to EMBRACE again?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4416602535413977823?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4416602535413977823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4416602535413977823&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4416602535413977823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4416602535413977823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/04/looking-at-party-scene-in-singapore-im.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S8qh-IVl_oI/AAAAAAAACFs/t3jS_6WJzD0/s72-c/drunk-girl-pee-smile-456a110907.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-712808788056788837</id><published>2010-04-05T21:26:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-05T21:53:37.864+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Oh wow...... I just realised that I haven't been posting anything for quite a while.  Anyway, I just got back from Perth a couple of days ago.  Had a blast of a time with friends, family and 'Desperate Housewives' crew...... hah!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I'm back and still bumping around, i just wanna give you the heads-up of my next project. (take note 'heads-up' is not in anyway refers to giving 'head' to anybody.....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in the midst of setting up a retail shop.  Thinking of selling ladies shoes and accessories, streetwear and some hobby stuffs.  Apart from that, there are some new productions come up.

If that's not enough..... are they only capable of producing food programmes??  Is that all we need to know? Prominent artistes are only capable of doing food programmes?  Are they trying to hide the fact that they lack of acting abilities or lack of ideas for better programmes.  Soon, they'll be airing another talkshow...... I just read on their FACEBOOK page, someone wrote..... "Talk is cheap!!"

It is so big, that it took the whole of the front page with bold colours.  Well, they have to be bold.  The subjects apparently are bold, loud and proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The headline was &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);font-size:180%;" &gt;"PRETTY BOYS"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup,  I just found out that we have an increasing problems with Malay &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'Pretty Boys'&lt;/span&gt;.  Errr....... problems?? Why got problem?  They are boys, pretty, and........?? Do they cause problems? Did they kill young kids?  Did they impregnate young girls? Did they rape any 45yr old women?  Were they involved in any rioting, gang fights or illegal gatherings?  Does these boys go to the DJ console, threaten my DJs to play some crappy Tektonik music so that they can chant their HDB estate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From what I've seen, these &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;'Pretty Boys'&lt;/span&gt; are guilty of dressing too loud for the public's comfort, spend too much on make-up, always seen with dance crews and yes, sometimes they are just too irritatingly loud.  Especially, when they see a good-looking caucasian.  Are these people a threat to our community? To our race and culture?  Maybe, they can be an embarassment to their families, but, what did they do so great that it is becoming a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PROBLEM&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of us are born gifted in a certain way.  They are are just overly-gifted, maybe because GOD loves them so much and wanted them to see the world in different ways.  While some of us snigger and bitch about them, here's a thought.......... are we any different from any of them?  Are we any better than them?  Before you answer these questions, make a little cut on your wrist.  If your blood colour is as red as these Pretty Boys, save your answers for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, if your blood is purple in colour, do give me a call.  I wonder if it taste differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biatch.........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8917172922372163116?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8917172922372163116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8917172922372163116&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8917172922372163116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8917172922372163116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/03/photo-above-was-taken-from-sundays.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55aa8TyH-I/AAAAAAAACFM/SWuQouRegVA/s72-c/lembut_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-319232705785402007</id><published>2010-03-15T23:39:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T23:58:29.772+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55Uvr3D0WI/AAAAAAAACE8/oeDF0RSK15g/s1600-h/skope.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55Uvr3D0WI/AAAAAAAACE8/oeDF0RSK15g/s400/skope.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448885777369125218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I met this guy was 15years ago.  Back then, he was known as Phyerman, a member of OAC.  Hip Hop enthusiast, promoter and guerilla.  Nowadays, affectionately, known as SKOPE ONE..... master Graffiti artist from Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, Skope was featured on the local Malay newspaper for his achievements in the international scene, especially after his return from Barcelona.  From what I heard, he was very much liked and respected for his creativity, talent and humility.  Well, that's the international scene.  Unlike here at home, people like him are still stuggling to be recognised as artist.  Things are definitely much better than decades ago.  Some willing parties have openly accept these artistes while others are just trying to cash-in their talents or abuse the good nature of these guys.  However, knowing where they came from and them, graduating from the SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS, I guess nothing can pull them any lower than where these guys have been before.  To the corporate world who have tried diminishing these artistes, the jokes are on you.  The world is watching.  While we get up and keep on fighting, you'll just hide behind the corporate bars..... with a plastic heart and empty mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SKOPE ONE and the ARTKORE Industry....... I give my utmost respect to you and your crew for sticking by each other, and not letting anyone or anytwo bastardize your beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fewiiitttt..................!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55U4Ypkh-I/AAAAAAAACFE/qcezPPIvM_0/s1600-h/grafiti_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 250px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55U4Ypkh-I/AAAAAAAACFE/qcezPPIvM_0/s400/grafiti_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448885926831097826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://cyberita.asia1.com.sg/mrencana/story/0,6879,160830-1268603940,00.html?"&gt;Front Page news&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-319232705785402007?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/319232705785402007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=319232705785402007&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/319232705785402007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/319232705785402007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-time-i-met-this-guy-was-15years.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S55Uvr3D0WI/AAAAAAAACE8/oeDF0RSK15g/s72-c/skope.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-402457932996807730</id><published>2010-03-14T19:57:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-14T20:22:55.269+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S5zPLsj_EII/AAAAAAAACE0/D-b8IqxlXcw/s1600-h/e-tech.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S5zPLsj_EII/AAAAAAAACE0/D-b8IqxlXcw/s400/e-tech.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448457449059061890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://digital.e-techasia.com/LandingPage.aspx"&gt;Read the digital copy here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Just in case if you're getting bored with the same 'ol lame magazines that shows the anatomy of the female parts, here's something different for a healthy mind.  Especially if you're involved in the industry, this would help with the on-goings.  In fact, some marketing personnel should have a glimpse of this magazine too.  It's definitely gonna help in getting to know some of the things involve in getting an event done the proper way, and also, how important AV matters is to  a success of an event.  If you're lucky, you'll get to learn about concepts which we think is acceptable in this current generation.   Btw, having a percussionist accompanying a DJ playing to Top 40s music has never been regarded as 'ground-breaking'....... just like a Philipino band singing in Mandarin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, if you're gonna read the digital copy of the magazine, don't miss out on page 62-63. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From GOONDUISM to magazines........ next, world domination.......!!!!!!!!

This is insanely wicked!!  The mixer is Wic to the Ked!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And once again it proves that technology has taken over talent, determination, knowledge and discipline.  With this, anybody's grandmother can smoothly complete EQ mixing just by moving a fraction of their body parts.  So, its confirmed!! DJ-ing is not niche anymore.  Any muthaf**ker with money can obtain such 'talent'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, I'm still glad I was part of the ol' skool asses.  Those good times will always be remembered as the best part of my DJ life.  Carrying speakers and setting up before gigs, getting sweat all over, then changing to shirt and tie.... getting ready for the 'function'.  You farkers remember that..??!!  hahahaha........

Fancy meaning, the food served is minimal, mostly uncooked, decorated with toxins and over-charged.  If you're wondering why I landed in such a place, it wasn't me.  Someone who wanted to impress us and our group of friends, suggested the place.  As much as I thought it was unnecessary, we did politely obliged to see and experience idiocrisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, some of the food served was ........ raw beef from a secluded-distant town in Japan, where the cows are 'organic' and 'special'.  Nobody explained to us in what way was the cow 'special'.  Maybe the cow was able to do sommersaults and jumped over the moon.  For all I know, it tastes the same....... just like raw human meat.  Someone in our group mentioned that the meat taste sweeter and has a tinch of sourness.  If it's raw, and someone were to sprinkle a dash of sugar spice, wouldn't it taste sweet?? and the sourness..... maybe some lime because its raw meat...??!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another fancy serving was the whale meat.  It was dark and looked weird.  This time, I had to pushed it away.  As much as I was coaxed into trying it, I HAD to let it go.  Accept it, I'm not really a COOL person.  I don't take whale meat, shark's fin or goat's penis soup, nor snake blood wine.  The fact is, I'm against whale-killing.  I'll think again about the shark's fin soup.  If I was in the sea, I know the shark won't think twice about eating me..... so, I might have shark's fin sometime in the near future.  But whale.....?? Sorry, NO.  And, I'm sorry if anyone can't respect my believes.  I don't eat pork, does that mean you gonna ask me to TRY some?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I enjoyed the whole experience.  I had my other-half with me, so it's cool.  Maybe someday, the Japanese will have more fancy dishes like baby's feet or Nanny's tits.  That would really be fancy-fool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S5XYy-2JGcI/AAAAAAAACEk/09U4UXA9XGg/s1600-h/weird.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S5XYy-2JGcI/AAAAAAAACEk/09U4UXA9XGg/s400/weird.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446497694749628866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Fancy food?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5645377624198232488?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5645377624198232488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5645377624198232488&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5645377624198232488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5645377624198232488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/03/recently-i-had-dinner-at-fancy-japanese.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S5XYy-2JGcI/AAAAAAAACEk/09U4UXA9XGg/s72-c/weird.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4971126233007591812</id><published>2010-03-04T02:57:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-04T03:29:09.295+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvWiZqgdTkU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvWiZqgdTkU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered sometime ago, a white boy came to me and said, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Yo G, play some BLACK music..... real BLACK music!"&lt;/span&gt; - my name not G, my name is R-er.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KNN.  Black music??!! Music got colour meh?  I am already confused with all these genres and come a this farker ask me music with colour.  A close friend of mine tried to enlighten me saying that the guy was referring to Hip Hop.  And again, Hip Hop is Black music??  Why?? Because it started with Black people (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in this context it refers to African American&lt;/span&gt;)?  Why not Motown, Soul, Funk, House, Merengue, Bachata, Techno??  Yup, all those music was pioneered by 'Black' people.... and maybe many more.  So, was I wrong when I played Techno or HOUSE after that 'Wigger' ask for 'BLACK' music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, from where I come from 'BLACK' music means something else.  It has got something to do with decapitating your veins......... If someone ask for 'RED' music, does it mean songs about anger? embarrassment, or passion?  or maybe  about Lunar New Year??  Maybe Hari Raya is 'GREEN' music........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S46zhp0PrFI/AAAAAAAACEc/DD9DTtFtFjA/s1600-h/churchsign.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S46zhp0PrFI/AAAAAAAACEc/DD9DTtFtFjA/s400/churchsign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444486390279547986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4971126233007591812?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4971126233007591812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4971126233007591812&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4971126233007591812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4971126233007591812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-remembered-sometime-ago-white-boy.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S46zhp0PrFI/AAAAAAAACEc/DD9DTtFtFjA/s72-c/churchsign.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1666302569708645889</id><published>2010-02-26T17:24:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T17:59:09.371+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4eUqomTNGI/AAAAAAAACEU/_lR-te6i-o4/s1600-h/pixe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4eUqomTNGI/AAAAAAAACEU/_lR-te6i-o4/s400/pixe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442482134874010722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, coming back from lunch, I saw a poster here in Bangkok that says...........&lt;br /&gt;"SINGAPORE'S NO.1 HIP HOP DJ" .......... once again for the ignorant bastards, it's not the picture above.  It's just a poster of a fellow jock.  Got no problem with that as he has been in the industry long enough and had all the credits to his name.  What I wanted to know is........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you get the tag of Singapore's No.1??  Is it because of the club you work for? Rated via commercial success and how many girlfriends you have?  How many 'FAN' club you have in Facebook?  How much you're paid for a gig?  No. of times you travel for gigs???  How? How do you rate the No.1 DJ or how does anyone rate you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also, who has the authority to label or award you with the tag of Singapore's No.1 DJ?  Is there a committee to do that??  Apart from playing extra nights for extra cash, what else does the No.1 DJ get?  If I make a poster and stickers to self-claim as the No.1 DJ, would someone believe me??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first place, how do you rate a good DJ?  Once I heard someone claimed to be the No.1 Electro House DJ in Singapore.  And the reason for such accolade is because he has more Electro music than anyone else. Really??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if there are tags for .......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Over-aged DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Un-gigged DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Unemployed DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Mis-Understood DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Facebook-ed DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 Talkative DJ.&lt;br /&gt;Singapore's No.1 DJ without portfolio.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list can go on........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1666302569708645889?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1666302569708645889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1666302569708645889&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1666302569708645889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1666302569708645889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/today-coming-back-from-lunch-i-saw.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4eUqomTNGI/AAAAAAAACEU/_lR-te6i-o4/s72-c/pixe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5831770070351671525</id><published>2010-02-26T00:55:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T01:22:33.244+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4axQ2GP4DI/AAAAAAAACEM/zOjTNPeuP5U/s1600-h/Mark+X.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4axQ2GP4DI/AAAAAAAACEM/zOjTNPeuP5U/s400/Mark+X.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442232102681567282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Toyota fumbled big time in the international market.  Their cars are faulty.  The chairman, Mr Toyoda admitted their mistake, apologized and will make amends especially to Toyota owners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, only in USA accidents happen and caused deaths.  Just like how the UFOs only seen in USA.  It's either their just very very bad drivers or, they seem to be the intelligent ones who found out the faults in the Toyota cars and caused deaths, or their just plainly unlucky!! Damn!!  Being said that, I guess I'm the lucky one coz my Toyota Mark X, with the V6 engine, was not part of the faulty batch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also, why would the Toyota chairman had to appear in front of the US Congress and publicly made to do the admission??  Is there gonna be another propaganda by the 'eagles'??  Who appointed them to the representative of the world?  Is this gonna be another plan to exhume money from the Japanese auto giant, knowingly that Toyota is the biggest auto product to be imported to the US?  Hasn't they made enough stealing oil from the Middle East?  Hasn't they made enough from selling arms to 3rd world countries and making them fight each other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has been busy with his 'Healthcare' bills whilst the other 'politicians' busy with the other issues.  Don't they have things they have to settle within their country.  Things like...... putting a committee to quantize HipHop music and made non-trashy anymore, and put back the tempo to it's actual speed.  HipHop is getting faster, while House is getting slower!!  damn!!!  They also need to restrict Lady Gaga into owning too many crappy, ugly clothes that nobody will wear.  It's bad for the future generation!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4axD_ROHRI/AAAAAAAACEE/6i2gpx8CISU/s1600-h/bkkred.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4axD_ROHRI/AAAAAAAACEE/6i2gpx8CISU/s400/bkkred.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442231881805208850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a different note, I'm still in Bangkok.  Things look pretty tense here.  Thaksin have his 'red army' to protest on the streets and create havoc for the Thai economy.  It is understood that all these 'red people' aren't from Bangkok.  They are from the eastern part of the Thailand, mainly poor people.  Since they got nothing to do and the former premier had cash to throw, why not donate it to the farmers, villagers and let them have something to do in capital.  That sucks, man.  Apparently, people in Bangkok don't welcome them as they are doing pretty well without the former premier.  That's what I heard from the streets........ khap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna take a chill pill and rest.  Too many homework tonight.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5831770070351671525?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5831770070351671525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5831770070351671525&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5831770070351671525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5831770070351671525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/so-toyota-fumbled-big-time-in.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S4axQ2GP4DI/AAAAAAAACEM/zOjTNPeuP5U/s72-c/Mark+X.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-6457901347611024215</id><published>2010-02-21T15:59:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-21T16:35:49.177+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Glny4jSciVI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Glny4jSciVI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excuse my ignorance but why do they need to bastardize the original song for the new generation of artistes?  Can't they come out with a new song and call it their own?  Personally, I find the new version is lifeless and got no SOUL.  For a song like this, SOUL and emotions come from the voices and and not the looks of the artistes or video clips.  What's with having Kanye West in the group?  He certainly don't deserve it.  And the young boy who started the first verse.....?? What a shame.  The list of 'white-artistes' don't deserve to be there except for Pink.  If you were to compare with the old version, even Kenny Rogers and Bruce Springsteen fare much better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is unfortunate that all the good music was made in the 80's and early 90's.  All the technology we have now and unlimited access to knowledge can't even contribute a new song for such event?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ne7fPpxAnuM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ne7fPpxAnuM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE ARE THE WORLD was USA for AFRICA, Band Aid was from British &amp; Irish musicians for Ethiopia.  Maybe someday, the rest of the world should come together and make a song for the USA.  Something to tell them that they should mind their own business, or stop making other countries fight and then capitalize on them when they go to war.  USA will go bankrupt if they world is a peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the USA was a little kid in kindergaten and nobody wants to be his friend coz he was such a kaypoh and trouble-maker.  I'm sure he is gonna grow up and become a serial-killer.............

Seriously, I don't know whether it's good or not.  Personally, nothing wrong with DJs from China or Phillipines or Vietnam.  I'm all for the Asian jocks, or anybody that does the job well.  Don't know who to blame..... the local jocks or the club operators.  I'm sure it has everything to do with operating costs and not music or attitudes, or personalities.   However, if this is gonna be the trend, that's gonna be pretty bad for the local DJ culture.  Operators will  determine what equipments to use and how to use instead of the DJs themselves.  For all you know, they would just ask the DJs to use iPods (if they wanna keep their jobs.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my friends who have lost their jobs...... hold your heads up.  Maybe you can start learning how to DJ with iPods and iPhones.  I've decide to leave this trade and make way for new DJs....... especially those with small ears and big mouths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3wPY0QH7cI/AAAAAAAACDU/T_lUhohiz2o/s1600-h/hippo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3wPY0QH7cI/AAAAAAAACDU/T_lUhohiz2o/s400/hippo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439239368974265794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4704545901383983638?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4704545901383983638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4704545901383983638&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4704545901383983638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4704545901383983638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/so-last-i-heard-couple-of-friends-lost.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3wH0bdD7YI/AAAAAAAACDM/W5frQeDK9UI/s72-c/marquee.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-8013122864580534502</id><published>2010-02-17T13:44:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T14:31:17.591+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Got back last night and what was the first thing I hear people talk about? CASINO.  Opened the newspapers, CASINO.  Looking at the pictures,  I can bear to think about how regimented our minds have been programmed after spending too much time here.  I came to realize that the nation's favorite past time is actually QUEUEING.  In fact, I realized this fact ever since the days of Hello Kitty when people would queue and get into bust-ups to get their hands on FREE Dolls from MacDonalds.  Now, these same people says that they are feeling lucky and queueing up for a taste of fortune is worth the while.  '&lt;a href="http://www.calastrology.com/spells.html?gclid=CJLD9pfc-J8CFU5B6wodUSigVg"&gt;FEELING LUCKY&lt;/a&gt;'??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3uKjK5jiuI/AAAAAAAACDE/ORUrAV-nSPE/s1600-h/casino.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3uKjK5jiuI/AAAAAAAACDE/ORUrAV-nSPE/s400/casino.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439093311805819618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all truth, maybe you did feel lucky when you left home.  But, by the time you reach Sentosa, having to queue and the bad-bad odour of the 'other queue', I reckon the God-of-Luck would have sprint his way out of your body without any hesitation.  Not forgetting, someone's un-luckiness may just jump on you while in the queue.  Apart from that, how can you gonna be lucky on an island which has proved too many times that nothing really work on that island.  It's not called PULAU BLAKANG MATI for no reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard someone say, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"My wife don't le me gamble in Joo Chiat, but she says it's ok if I go to Sentosa....."&lt;/span&gt; - is this theory as good as, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"Don't go Geylang and fuck, it's ok if you go nightclubs!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may not be a gambler, but if I was one..... I would go back to the illegal gambling dens in Serangoon, Geylang, Joo Chiat, Tanjong Pagar and everywhere else.  Here's 10 reasons why.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  No need to queue.&lt;br /&gt;2.  The car park is just less than 10m away.&lt;br /&gt;3.  You can smoke in the gambling hall.&lt;br /&gt;4.  Wear anything you want.&lt;br /&gt;5.  Need money, they guy standing behind you can give some. No forms to fill, just IC.&lt;br /&gt;6.  Make new friends who can get you 'anything'.&lt;br /&gt;7.  Simple drinks and food.  No complicating cocktail drinks.  Just beer or green tea.  And the hot drinks are the ones from the coffee shop nearby.&lt;br /&gt;8.  Easy to get memberships - exclusivity.&lt;br /&gt;9.  No 'cover charge', no double standard.  Love all, serve all.&lt;br /&gt;10. The gambling den change venues every now and then.  The God of Luck won't get bored in one place.!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that is bugging me....... my Islander card to get into Sentosa is now void because of the CASINO.  Can't get into the island to laze around at the beach.  Driving into the island will cost $7, and the traffic jam is worst than getting to JB on the weekends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And worst of all, the country is celebrating it.  Just like we're celebrating idiocrisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd rather hangout with my Cheena bros for a drink or two......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8013122864580534502?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8013122864580534502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8013122864580534502&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8013122864580534502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8013122864580534502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/got-back-last-night-and-what-was-first.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3uKjK5jiuI/AAAAAAAACDE/ORUrAV-nSPE/s72-c/casino.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-7456010435829816358</id><published>2010-02-15T15:44:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T16:19:43.561+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>So........ (this is gonna be a 'boring' posting)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still in Brunei..... the first leg of the gig just ended last night.  Unfortunately, there are no photos to post due to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'no camera'&lt;/span&gt; policy.  Don't ask why but I think I understand the complications.  I'm not gonna brag if the party when well or not, what kinda music played, who screamed the loudest and what was served.  But again, everything seems to taste and feel nice when it is illegal or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'hard-to-get&lt;/span&gt;'.  Ok, that sounds wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I noticed that when there's a party that involves family members, and lots of married or attached couples, the single ones seemed to look weird.  Weird in every way!  And the married men, they flock together and are very much well-behaved.  In this case, well-behaved means they are there to really take care, look after and serve the wives.  This is when all the wives get together and go crazy....... I mean really really crazy.  Can't say much what they did at the party but, to me, it's like the wives and the fiances and the girlfriends, took this opportunity to let loose...... like a mad moose..... chasing after a wild goose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Errr....... I think I should not say much.  I made friends with 'them' and we click pretty well.  They will be reading this blog soon and I don't want to be a party-pooper.  Nevertheless, this gig will be one of those things that I'm gonna remember a long long time.  Some day, I can brag about this gig.  But that's gonna cost....... a life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, I was chatting with someone on MSN and he asked, "why you say you always travel for gigs but  I can't seem to find your posters anyway or no clubs heard of you?"  Well, that's because, I only play at gigs when people get married, divorced, circumcised........ and sometimes, I play at anniversary parties of the School of the Deaf.  All these parties are not listed unless you in the 'niche'....... get the drift.  Maybe, I should brag more?? I don't know every DJ in Indonesia or Europe like someone claimed to be.  And, I don't intend to be like 'Mike'...... So, that's why you don't here much and know about me.

When my significant-other suggested that we watch this, I didn't feel as bad.  I was more than willing and frankly, I look forward to it.  Weird feeling coming from me as I'm known to be really picky about movies, actors and directors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a third of the movie past, I guessed correctly what's gonna happen, but I was really surprised of the whole outcome of the movie.  Seriously, I actually enjoyed it.  Star-studded cast, multiple plots and the ending was 'some-kind' twisted.   I'm not giving away the story line, but what I'm gonna say is....... guys, if you wanna start showing the romantic side of you, maybe u can try this movie as a start.  You'll be pleasantly surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guys, put your male-ego aside and take your girlfriend........ or boyfriend to watch this.  Same sex relationships are also advised to watch this........ like I said, you'll be pleasantly amused and surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jSS-QPdiiiY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jSS-QPdiiiY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like the movie &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;CRASH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you might like &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Valentine's Day&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3RMC05XcwI/AAAAAAAACC8/3KuOjx2SnYg/s1600-h/crash.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3RMC05XcwI/AAAAAAAACC8/3KuOjx2SnYg/s400/crash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437054261585736450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-629622426778329905?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/629622426778329905/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=629622426778329905&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/629622426778329905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/629622426778329905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/speaking-from-male-ego-side-of-me-first.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3RI8LkHGeI/AAAAAAAACC0/_HMqnHNj880/s72-c/Valentines.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1021630548718557614</id><published>2010-02-12T01:32:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-12T02:02:37.618+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3Q_dJWUZEI/AAAAAAAACCk/m094-A16cSQ/s1600-h/IMG_0146.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3Q_dJWUZEI/AAAAAAAACCk/m094-A16cSQ/s400/IMG_0146.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437040420101317698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The picture above was taken from a food court in VivoCity.  I believe the above phrase is grammatically correct.  Not sure if there's anything wrong with having such sign outside the food stall.  However, I don't find the rationality of restricting HALAL food into another food station. What wrong has the HALAL food do to be restricted into the other food court?   Isn't it better if the sign says, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"DO NOT BRING OUTSIDE FOOD INTO THIS RESTAURANT."&lt;/span&gt;  Who eats HALAL food and wants to bring into this food court?  Oops....... Muslim people eat HALAL food!!  Are they also restricting non-Muslim who eats HALAL food into the food court?  I know lots of my non-Muslim friends who eats HALAL food.  Are they gonna be restricted also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is no difference to some job advertisements that says, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Mandarin-speaking only"&lt;/span&gt;.  I'm sure it is a very subjective issue, but since we live in a racially-harmony community, why not just say, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"WE PREFER CHINESE ONLY."&lt;/span&gt;  Nothing wrong isn't it.  Same goes to the other races, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"WE PREFER MALAYS ONLY"&lt;/span&gt; - the advertiser can't say &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"MALAY-SPEAKING ONLY"&lt;/span&gt; coz the older generation of non-Malays all speaks fluent Malay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take note that this is not a racist post or to generate racial tension.  I'm just pointing out that since the government and the mass media are all promoting racial-harmony, why trying to be discrete??  At least we know, where, who and how to approach such issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the advertisement says, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"MALE-WORKING ENVIRONMENT"&lt;/span&gt; - does it mean it's for Gays?  I used to work where it says, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"ALCOHOL-DRINKING ENVIRONMENT"&lt;/span&gt;.  But non beats &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;"BACK-STABBING ENVIRONMENT"&lt;/span&gt;......... I hear it applies to many places......... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"the quest for personal glory..."&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3RFkAbaaKI/AAAAAAAACCs/aKrE2aIMspI/s1600-h/backstab.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3RFkAbaaKI/AAAAAAAACCs/aKrE2aIMspI/s400/backstab.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437047135035615394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1021630548718557614?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1021630548718557614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1021630548718557614&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1021630548718557614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1021630548718557614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/02/picture-above-was-taken-from-food-court.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S3Q_dJWUZEI/AAAAAAAACCk/m094-A16cSQ/s72-c/IMG_0146.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-6858085301544422137</id><published>2010-02-02T21:31:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-03T02:01:44.089+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qqyd--zS6tQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qqyd--zS6tQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aite..... I know many have already seen this vidz from my FB.  Anyway, I'm putting it up in this blog for a different purpose and for those who can't access my FB page.  Btw, I've got consent from this kid's family to use their video....... so, if this kid belongs to someone you know, don't bother about bringing up any &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'copyright issue'&lt;/span&gt;.  I've settled my dues with the family and &lt;a href="http://www.ipos.gov.sg/topNav/hom/"&gt;IPOS&lt;/a&gt;.  (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Now that you know what IPOS is, go read what's all the fuss about.....&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Issues aside, the reason why I'm posting this, is to proof to some idiots that HOUSE music is not boring and it is danceable.  To those who think that HOUSE music has no rhythm or melody, you just got shamed by this little kid.  It's all about what you feel inside.  If you can't groove to any music, you just don't have it in you.  It's OK if you don't like HOUSE music...... as long as you stay away from places that only plays HOUSE.  But again, IDIOTS are not called IDIOTS for no reason.  Just look the post about &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'night-out at Stereolab'&lt;/span&gt;.  Those idiots that took the guest DJ's drinks would definitely go as crazy and idiotic, even if the club was playing RnB &amp;amp; Hip Hop.  I'm sure they were not there because of the music....... it's the white boys.  They were hoping for a 'better future'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, I was told that HipHop DJs have the same problem as the HOUSE DJs.  In one of the HipHop clubs in Mohd Sultan, where the music policy is RnB and HipHop, there are people who would actually ask for Tektonik....... (&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I just learnt what 'TEKTONIK' music is.  Back then, I think we called it Euro-Dance - remember when Boat Quay use to promote these music?&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9__38vZT2hA&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9__38vZT2hA&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I don't see any resemblence in style, dance or 'soulfulness' between HipHop, RnB and Tektonik.   So, how come people ask these kind of music in HipHop clubs??  While looking for answers in Youtube,  I found clips of the song above.  Apparently, they like singing along to the song....... just like Retro.  Then, at some part of the song, they'll shout the names of Housing estates.  Not sure if they are so proud of their GRC or it's part of community-togetherness.  I wonder what if they play during National Day, would they go like....... "Yo-ah-yo, Xing Xia Poh..... Ah-ah, Singapura....!!" (but, must play same song ah.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, if these people can be as passionate about their housing estate during S-League games, &lt;a href="http://www.tnp.sg/sports/story/0,4136,228834,00.html?"&gt;New Paper&lt;/a&gt; need not have to give reasons why &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WE&lt;/span&gt; should watch and support S-League.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Better Foreigners? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(have they heard of ASIA BAGUS....?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.

Wonderkid from 2006? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;( since it is now 2010, is he still a kid?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Cheap and Good? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(curry puff at $2 is not cheap, if it has no egg and meat.... it's not good!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Freebies..? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(free-entry to games?? I don't think so.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.

Not only in FACEBOOK, but nearly everybody networking portal in cyber is trying to capitalize on this fad.  Seriously, I think it is unfair to the other clubs, or maybe I don't understand why, suddenly, people are excited to join FAN clubs.  What actually happen to the other clubs like, Oprah Book Club, Police Boys Club, Turf Club, Orchid Country Club, etc...... Why the sudden interest with fans??!  In fact, why is a fan club so special than a golf club.  I had to Google the net for a proper definition of a fan.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_%28implement%29" title="Fan (implement)"&gt;Fan (implement)&lt;/a&gt;, implement held and waved by hand to move air.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_%28mechanical%29" title="Fan (mechanical)"&gt;Fan (mechanical)&lt;/a&gt;, machine for producing airflow, often for cooling.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Air_Navigation_System" title="Future Air Navigation System"&gt;Future Air Navigation System&lt;/a&gt; (or FANS), an air traffic control scheme also known as CNS/ATM.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_area_network" title="File area network"&gt;File area network&lt;/a&gt;, method for file sharing over a network.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_%28programming_language%29" title="Fan (programming language)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Fan (programming language)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_fan" title="Triangle fan"&gt;Triangle fan&lt;/a&gt;, a data structure to describe polygons in computer graphics.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_fan" title="Sea fan" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Sea fan&lt;/a&gt;, a marine animal of the Cnidarian phylum&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Amino_Nitrogen" title="Free Amino Nitrogen"&gt;Free Amino Nitrogen&lt;/a&gt;, in brewing, amino acids available for yeast metabolism&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Damn....... are we getting over-educated or what??!!  A club for "FILE AREA NETWORK"..???  No shit this crap is heavy-duty, man!! "FREE AMINO NITROGEN" club...??!! WTF!!  I'm feeling very left-out.  I feel cheated coz my teacher didn't teach me about these things.  Now, everybody is joining these clubs...... and I don't even know what it means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I notice that there many nice people in FACEBOOK.  Despite of me being ignorant of these clubs, some of them have gracefully invited me to join their FAN Club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UawCw8muI/AAAAAAAACB8/zqbGjuVa2qQ/s1600-h/Fan_girl_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UawCw8muI/AAAAAAAACB8/zqbGjuVa2qQ/s400/Fan_girl_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432777938170583778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;if you're hot, join a fan club&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all of them, thank you very much for the kind gesture.  In due time, I will definitely join these clubs, which is after I understand what is it all about.   It's just that, I want to make sure which kind of FAN I wanna be.  The "FREE AMINO NITROGEN" club sounds cool, but I don't want to associated with any terrorist group (shit sounds like weapons of mass destruction).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I gotta go find myself a fan...... it's freakin' hot here in the woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UY1_sMkKI/AAAAAAAACB0/mZWS-VjdilQ/s1600-h/fan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UY1_sMkKI/AAAAAAAACB0/mZWS-VjdilQ/s400/fan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432775841401311394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, Chingay Party is coming...... they need more fan-man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UclcEXrxI/AAAAAAAACCM/ORHuEVrC00w/s1600-h/fan+man.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2UclcEXrxI/AAAAAAAACCM/ORHuEVrC00w/s400/fan+man.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432779955007631122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. - Does Chingay means "China Gay"??

Its funny, stupid, idiotic and embarassing at the same time. I was at Stereolab just now with friends for drinks.  At the same time, trying to catch the guest DJ, Toni Granello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2Mxq-8WoKI/AAAAAAAACBs/NlWHhN1gZ9Q/s1600-h/toni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 298px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2Mxq-8WoKI/AAAAAAAACBs/NlWHhN1gZ9Q/s400/toni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432240190059356322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This incident happened while Toni was getting ready for his set, sorting his CDs.  In the meantime, Godwin was busy on the decks.  I was behind the console with the other resident, Edward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of nowhere, 4 girls (2 Pinoy, 1 Malay and 1 very smelly girl - not mentioning the race) came hurrying to the console and handed Toni 2 drink coupons.  1 of the girls said, "2 Vodka cranberry!!"..... Since the music was very loud, Toni didn't get what they were saying.  He turned to Godwin and ask what was that.  Godwin said it's drink coupons.  Toni turned to the girls, thinking that they gave him drink coupons as a 'local gesture', said thanks and kept it in his jeans.  He continued to sort his CDs.  They stoopid girls then shouted, "Hey!! I want my Vodka cranberry!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, Edward and me was already laughing like hell, realizing the idiots thinking that the console is the bar.  I don't know how or why they think it's a bar.  Somehow, the 'smelly girl' whispered something to her friends, which made them realized that it's not a bar.  The Pinoy girl then ask Toni for her drink coupons back.  Once again, because the music was already pumping hard, Toni couldn't hear them.  He just grabbed one of his freebies (T-shirt) and gave the girl.  He thought it was a return gesture as they gave him something.  To our surprise, that stoopid girl threw the t-shirt back at Toni and ask for her drink.  I think Toni was pissed by their reaction that he ignored them.  One of the girls then stretch her hands and grabbed Toni's bottle of Belvedere and help herself and her friends to the drinks.  Damn it, we all look in shocked.  What worst, she stopped at the 3rd glass and ask Toni to pour her a glass of vodka, which he obliged.  WTF!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moments later, they left for the dancefloor when Toni took to the decks.  So we thought that was it for the idiotic incident.  I called it IDIOTIC because, how different is it a DJ console and a bar??  Nevermind that they don't know the DJs or whoever.  It's typical right?  These are just posers who go to clubs because everyone is there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 10 mins into Toni's set, I saw the IDIOTS again.  This time they were right in front of the console taking pictures.  Normal?  Sure..... One of the girl, stretched her hand into the console, trying to pass Toni, the guest DJ, her camera, asking him to take pictures of them dancing.  WTF!!!  Toni ignored her, but she kept pushing the camera to him.  She gave up after 3mins (try looking at your watch and see how long is 3 minutes)....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freaking idiots infesting Stereolab on a Friday night.  But again, what's new?  Intelligent music don't really attract intelligent people.  I left moments later.  Outside, told Godwin and the operations manager about it.  They had the same reaction........ none said a word, only the mouth wide open.  Face expression was priceless.  Good luck guys!!  WTF!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, here's Toni's big track taken from Hed Kandi compilation......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j9jCq1_SgXs&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j9jCq1_SgXs&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-5631285252123443750?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/5631285252123443750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=5631285252123443750&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5631285252123443750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/5631285252123443750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/01/ok-people-this-one-i-have-to-bitch.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S2Mxq-8WoKI/AAAAAAAACBs/NlWHhN1gZ9Q/s72-c/toni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-584042443550741157</id><published>2010-01-24T22:04:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T01:09:14.288+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>While Googling and doing some research work and finishing an article for &lt;a href="http://www.e-techasia.com/magazine"&gt;E-Tech Magazine&lt;/a&gt;, I stumble on some old photos.  Not very old but enough to bring back good memories.  The photos were taken back in 2006 or 2007 at a posh joint called Hacienda at Dempsey.  Not sure if it's still there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1xTxR_4NMI/AAAAAAAACBk/N8rdxpe9S60/s1600-h/hacienda+gig.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1xTxR_4NMI/AAAAAAAACBk/N8rdxpe9S60/s400/hacienda+gig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430307356811998402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a gig there with my Tektile crew when it just opened. Full-on NuJazz 'live' like nobody even knew it exist in Singapore.  I remembered very well coz, that was one gig where I had to pull my UDG record bag up the hill.  Yup back then, I was still on wax and nothing else.  The art of DJ-ing was intact and real DJs (who actually get booked), use vinyls only.  Unfortunately, I heard nowadays, you can get booked even by playing non-stop mixed tracks on an iPod..........  all you need to do is convince some club operator with 'very-happening-yesteryear' stories. And, don't forget to 'butter-up' and offer to buy drink.

Some may feel like sharing similar stories, while others may just learn something.  The following story was NOT taken from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Incredible Tales&lt;/span&gt;, but it could be part of the next series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;For the past 5 years, my aunt and her family in Yew Tee have had 3 maids.  The first one lasted  2 years, second one 6 mths and the last one is still with the family till this day.  All their maids were Indonesians.  This is a story about the second maid.  She was called Susi. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;(Any coincidence or resemblance is purely accidental.  But then again...... who gives a shit!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Susi first arrived to my aunt's family, she was a quiet person.  The first few days was normal for a new maid.  She always looked down when talking to my aunt and uncle, and never answered back.  All was proper and they family was quite well taken care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After about a month with the family, Susi was very much accustomed to the surrounding and she became part of the family.  It is quite normal for a Malay family to treat their maids like a family, and not like a 'slave'.  Susi was allowed to watch TV with the family, communicate with other members of our relatives and eat with the family.  Most times, she would hangout with my aunt in the kitchen and sometimes they would go out shopping together.  Many months past and nobody suspect anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After about 5 mths, my aunt did a lil' family gathering where all the relatives would come by and spent the whole day at her house.  This was my first time at her house after a year.  I got to her place at about 2pm that day.  At the void deck, I met an uncle who also haven't been there for the past year.  We went up together to the house which was on the 2nd floor.  When we got to the house, before entering, I had goosebumps all over.  Didn't took notice and went in.  After my 3rd step in the house, I immediately turned and walked out.  Didn't realise why I did that but it seems automatic.  Stayed outside the door and lighted a cigi.  Minutes later, the uncle who came with me, walked out of the house and said that something's wrong in the house.  He said, the maid looks 'different'.  Unfortunately, he didn't elaborate how different was 'different'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lfqImEmkI/AAAAAAAACA0/Ln6PWUAfiGM/s1600-h/miss-phuket.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lfqImEmkI/AAAAAAAACA0/Ln6PWUAfiGM/s400/miss-phuket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429476003238156866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;nothing different wat...??!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The next day, my Mom was talking about the gathering at my aunt's house.  She said, the maid acts like the house belongs to her.  She sits watching TV while the rest were in the kitchen, she talks with a demanding tone, and she walks into my aunts bedroom like she sleeps in there.  I also told her what my uncle told me.  We soon realised something was amiss in that house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lgn205RgI/AAAAAAAACA8/B3wtc0vOQZw/s1600-h/exorcist.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 276px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lgn205RgI/AAAAAAAACA8/B3wtc0vOQZw/s400/exorcist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429477063620380162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days later, after some investigation (which I didn't know about), they had a meeting in my house.  The maid was present.  This time, she stood quietly at one corner &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(relak one corner - it's a Malay thing)&lt;/span&gt;.  Another uncle came along and asked her what she kept in her purse.  (Prior to these, according to Mom, they had asked other people about such incidents or the Indonesian maid's practice.)  Susi, the maid, at first refuse to acknowledge the question.  After much persuasion and threat to deport her back, she relent and took out everything in her purse.  Everything seems normal....... except for a black cloth tied with a gold thread.  In that cloth, we found - a fingernail, 4 strands of hair which feels like tungsten, a pin and dried garlic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(to keep the story short and easier to read..... this is not a novel, you know!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to her, some of her maid-friends gave it to her before they went back home to Indonesia.  Those items apparently, will make the house-owner succumb to her and let her be the 'boss'.  She will be seen as the one with authority and no one will ill-treat her.  When asked why did she wanna do that? She claimed that she heard about employers who ill-treat maids in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susi was reported to the agent and she was sent back the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good thing is that.... my aunt's family was only 'hypnotized' not to ill-treat the maid.  There were stories shared with me where, a maid used her soiled pad to seduce the man-of-the-house.  Hence, took over control of the family and their money.  I think that's more serious.  In fact, there are friends who shared stories not about Indonesian maids, but also, Pinoy and Sri Lankan maids.  Each with their fare share and ways of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'magic tricks'&lt;/span&gt;.  One story I heard about a Pinoy maid was, she purposely sleep in nighties, without any undergarments and open her room door.  So that her boss, a 40-yr old lawyer, could get a glimpse of 'her'.  She was hoping to seduce him, get into a relationship and live happily ever-after.  Much later on, she found out her lawyer-boss was GAY.  Damn!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lg9ny_QgI/AAAAAAAACBE/wSnX4BFB8I4/s1600-h/ladyboy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lg9ny_QgI/AAAAAAAACBE/wSnX4BFB8I4/s400/ladyboy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429477437542973954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is not Susi.... nor the Pinoy maid.&lt;br /&gt;This is Victor (by day), - Victoria (by night)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-6850833564046326289?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/6850833564046326289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=6850833564046326289&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6850833564046326289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6850833564046326289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/01/magic-maid-this-is-kind-of-posting-that.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1lfqImEmkI/AAAAAAAACA0/Ln6PWUAfiGM/s72-c/miss-phuket.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5546060466620764555</id><published>2010-01-22T01:06:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T01:26:34.031+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Gefwen vs Bofwen......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I overheard a couple of young ladies talking (I was eaves-dropping).  They were talking about their other friends.  I'm sure they were talking about their close friends coz they were citing 'my girlfriends', which means their close friends who are girls.  I think it's pretty common for that right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How come we guys can't do that?  We can't call our buddies or homeboys 'boyfriends'??  If we do that, it means we're GAY.  It refers to an intimate relationship.  Why can't it refers to 'close male friends'?

It's &lt;a href="http://www.fkalways.com/"&gt;Frankie Knuckles&lt;/a&gt; on crutches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During dinner today, I was struck with 'sinus-attack'.  Couldn't stop sneezing and the body started to shutdown.  Initially, I had planned to visit an old buddy (mentor) Godwin P at Stereolab.  The sinus was very bad that I wanted to just go home and snuggle up........ alone.  Fortunately, my-other-half talked me into going to Pan Pacific hotel and just say 'Hi'.  Why I said 'fortunately'.....?  When we got to the lobby, met Godwin and Frankie, who was about to check-in.  Yup, Frankie is gig-ing at &lt;a href="http://www.stereolab.com.sg/#/StereoLab/Calendar/"&gt;Stereolab&lt;/a&gt; tmw night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you might be wondering..... "WTF am I so hard-up with Frankie Knuckles?"  Well, to cut the story short, Frankie Knuckles to me is like Micheal Jackson to all you mofos.  Yup, he's big in my books.  Some of you might just brushed aside and say, "So what?? We met him before, hungout or jammed with him before...... bla, bla, bla....."  Well, fark off...... Don't I have the right to look-up to someone??  Tis' my shit!!  I say and do what I want!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Frankie was very cool when I asked for a photo.  He even said something about the "SESAME STREET" tee I was wearing (not sure what it was but it was something like "I dig SESAME STREET...") So, we cuddled up for the photo, Godwin shook his head in disbelief and laughed.  WTF, I grew up listening to HOUSE because of Frankie Knuckles.  Then, we exchange handshakes and planned to hangout tmw at Stereolab.  That means, Frankie in DJ console, me standing outside pretending to be cool.  And for the next 2 hours, the sinus was gone and I was freakin' fine!!  Could it be the music and sound at Stereolab?  Could it be Frankie? or Could it be the lady by my side?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way home, the sinus struck again and I'm really feeling achy.  Oh boy, gotta take medication......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v918ND2_72I&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v918ND2_72I&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2475451596126060531?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2475451596126060531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2475451596126060531&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2475451596126060531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2475451596126060531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/01/one-of-god-father-of-house-frankie.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S1Cmt5rdtPI/AAAAAAAACAc/ivxB-pAsFO8/s72-c/IMG_0132.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5601794672583659705</id><published>2010-01-15T15:03:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-15T15:10:09.197+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;Tis' ain't no revolution....... it's just love.

TV and had a great shock.  Not 'big-shock'.... but 'great-shock'.  When I switched on the TV, the repeat Singapore-Iran game was on.  I wasn't shocked that Singapore lost, its expected, Iran is a very good team with lots of European-based players.  I was a lil' bit amazed that the Singapore jersey is now sponsored by NIKE.  I thought it was PUMA, then GRANDSPORT, then TIGER.  Didn't even know there was a sports brand called TIGER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0lasChMtVI/AAAAAAAAB_0/so8mNvd2Zhs/s1600-h/alba.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0lasChMtVI/AAAAAAAAB_0/so8mNvd2Zhs/s400/alba.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424966938781332818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, what was shocking to me was....... the NATIONAL STADIUM was still there!!!!!  Wow!! Isn't it a miracle??  I thought it was gone ;-)??  Didn't they had a closing ceremony on 30th June 2007?  Scheduled to be demolished end of 2007?  Scheduled for the new Singapore Sports Hub in 2014?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't this already 2010?  Or am I ahead of time?  Isn't 2007 was like 3 years ago?  Why isn't the National Stadium being demolished yet?  Not enough construction companies to do the job coz all rushing to finish the IR jobs??  Or, are they contemplating about the sports hub?  Does the new sports hub is also a front to house the new 'foreign talents' that's gonna help represent Singapore in the future sport meets?  And when they're done, they gonna go back to their mother-land and bitch about Singapore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe, someone is contemplating whether the new sports hub is a worth investment or build more condominiums?  We are short of the 8 million target of population in Singapore.   Obviously, the condominiums is a better bet.  We all know in Singapore, the music, art and sports scene will not make any of us millionaires.  Why invest in these things??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So....... back in 2007, the government spent a hefty amount to celebrate the closure of national Stadium.  Unfortunately, it didn't close.  In fact, events are still running there and they are still collecting money for the events at the National Stadium.  First, we 'helped' pay for the event to celebrate the closure, and now...... we still paying to get into the stadium to watch the games and events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, we seem to be celebrating about it........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0lZG9DncGI/AAAAAAAAB_s/OKTvC-Mxd40/s1600-h/soccer_singapore_brazi14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0lZG9DncGI/AAAAAAAAB_s/OKTvC-Mxd40/s400/soccer_singapore_brazi14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424965202148290658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-2268401869359202446?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/2268401869359202446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=2268401869359202446&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2268401869359202446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/2268401869359202446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/01/reincarnation-or-just-bad-dream-closing.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0lTBzG8VvI/AAAAAAAAB_k/yOc_V2B2BJ4/s72-c/Stadium-Closing-Ceremony-Panorama.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-6819529243750305178</id><published>2010-01-09T11:21:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-09T12:20:51.900+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;(YAWN..........)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reading some stuff on cyber last night and stumbled on a local forum.  I just realized that people are still talking about the Singapore Idol results, bashing each other's comments and and the same time postings racial comments all over the place.  In fact, the SG Idol issue was also screened on Channel NewsAsia's &lt;a href="http://blogtv.channelnewsasia.com/missed/id_MDC100108-0000010.aspx"&gt;BlogTV&lt;/a&gt;.  Yes, it created lots of shit (as how we call it).  Btw, I'm not blogging about the SG Idol....... I'm just giving my opinion about this crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are people still fussing over the SG Idol?  It's over, Sezairi won, Sylvia came in 2nd. I didn't say she lost, but she came 2nd.  What's wrong?  So, another Malay won.... what's wrong? Is he gonna change the government? Increase road tax, ERP charges, take over government? NO right?  If he has an album out under Universal Music, would it smash records? I don't think so coz less than 1% of locals actually support their own artiste.  Then, why the fuss?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personnaly, for me, as an industry insider, I would really love to see Sylvia win.  It's because she can add some zest to the industry as a 'female soloist'.  It doesn't matter if her album gonna do good or not, it doesn't matter if she is good enough for Asian Idol..... what I know, some of them will end up in the nightlife scene, in order to fulfill their ambition as full-time singers.  On top of that, we would definitely wanna hear stories of label executives trying to get into Sylvia's pants.  Oh c'mon......... it would be much interesting isn't it.  Unfortunately, Sezairi won.  And I think he is a better singer, performer, musician.  Live with it.  Why still bitch about it?  We've got bigger issues!!!!  Serious issues that we need to talk about and solve!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People!! We need to find out where is the faggot that got groped by the banglas at Siloso Countdown Party!!!  We need to find out if the faggot hid the lil' dingding in the ass, or, did he/she cut if off...??!!  If it's really a faggot, why in the hell are people talking about it so much?  Maybe they like to be groped by banglas..... at least they got some action.  Whether they using ghee, butter or KY....... it doesn't matter isn't it??! Let it go, there isn't any Police reports about molest cases.  Police are not searching, why do we even bother??!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you wanna bother...... think about how much the Gatecrasher organisers lost during NYE??  That would be interesting to bitch about.  Here's an advice to wanna-be promoters........ try listening to industry-players and not glorify your past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, there isn't much pictures to share for this post.  But here's something to remind you of the faggots........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0gB3TeNiOI/AAAAAAAAB_U/4uqRaO584F0/s1600-h/thai1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0gB3TeNiOI/AAAAAAAAB_U/4uqRaO584F0/s400/thai1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424587800799185122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I told you they like it being groped.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0gCG8DoWfI/AAAAAAAAB_c/2V-IN5PoqPo/s1600-h/lady_boy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0gCG8DoWfI/AAAAAAAAB_c/2V-IN5PoqPo/s400/lady_boy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424588069391587826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;remember our ol' fwen.........??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;(if this is your first time seeing this..... she's the one who forgot to tuck her balls in.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-6819529243750305178?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/6819529243750305178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=6819529243750305178&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6819529243750305178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/6819529243750305178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2010/01/yawn.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/S0gB3TeNiOI/AAAAAAAAB_U/4uqRaO584F0/s72-c/thai1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-4906025619695245305</id><published>2010-01-07T23:53:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T00:47:41.809+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>HELLOOOOOOO.............!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KQqzROAZZQ0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KQqzROAZZQ0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh damn!!!!!

When it happened to me, I had to share this with you people!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was looking at a pair of shoes in a shop with no intention at all to buy. A staff approached and spoke in salivated-Engrish, convincing me to take a seat and try the pair of shoe. Told her I was just looking at it..... Anyway, I obliged and took a seat after telling her that my preferred shoe size is 10 half U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She came back later, hand me the shoe and said......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff : Sir, how about size 9?&lt;br /&gt;Me : Huh?? (I was taken aback by her dumbness of trying to negotiate my shoe size)&lt;br /&gt;Staff : Try size 9 lor... maybe can.&lt;br /&gt;Me : How about I can't change my shoe size?&lt;br /&gt;Staff : Sir, u must try first. You don't try, you won't know.....&lt;br /&gt;Me : WTF??!! I need size 10 half.&lt;br /&gt;Staff : No more 10 half.... try size please. Maybe can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another staff member joined in the conversation......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd staff : Sir, maybe your socks is too thick.&lt;br /&gt;Me : Are you blaming my socks now?  How can it be thick? It's NIKE Dri-Fit socks.&lt;br /&gt;2nd staff : Maybe try our socks........&lt;br /&gt;Me : Huh?? WTF??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe these staff get commission just by making people sit and try on shoes and socks. I didn't know that size 9 is equivalent to size 10 half......? I don't even know that people negotiate about shoe size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who are familiar with Russel Peters shows, you would remember his skit about retails staff trying to negotiate his shoes and pant's size. This morning I called Russel and told him about the incident. He didn't laugh, in fact, he said, "Do you think I was making that shit up? That thing really happen..... in CHINA!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're wondering how true this story is, or wanna try for yourself...... go to EVERBEST at GWC, level 1 opposite Body Shop. Must ask for a pair of men's semi-high shoes, size 10 half. See what kind of response you get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHIET!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-8646513171560318459?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/8646513171560318459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=8646513171560318459&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8646513171560318459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/8646513171560318459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2009/07/ive-got-to-share-this.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1269538056303560773</id><published>2009-06-26T12:35:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-26T13:40:03.191+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;"They way you make me feel...."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many a years ago, when I growing up, I was in a school who had one of the best dance crew on the island.  We were always getting invitations to perform at other schools events, corporate events and event shows at the malls.  Those were back in the 80s.  Why were we very good at that time? It is because, all of us wanted to be like Janet Jackson and Micheal Jackson......... YES! We wanted to be like MJ!!  We would try and imitate the Wacko even at how he dress up.  Our pants were shorter than the school's expectations but we were damn good! well, except for me..... I was just OK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years past, some of my school mates went on to become teachers, doctors, bankers, drunkards and assholes.  Me, I went on to pursue my dream of performing in front of crowds, whether its DJ-ing, playing in a band, dance, emcee-ing or even stand-ups.  Maybe, I was a lil' like MJ, always seeking attention, confused and the refusal of growing up.  The only difference is........ I don't like smelling young boy's booty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, I woke up to a phone call from the States.  Jermaine called me to say that his younger brother had passed due to heart complications.  It was dreadful way to start a Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UeFUvW5YInQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UeFUvW5YInQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately, I felt something thingly in my stomache.  I remember clearly that he was the only artiste that my parents would sit and watch with me. And of course, I grew up watching him and few others.  That thingly feeling in the stomache was still there....... I had to run off to the toilet quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While in the toilet, I reminisce the days when we would dance to Micheal's songs at FIRE Disco, imitating his dance moves.  Then, I started to think and join the others in mourning.  It feels like MJ had something to do with my life.  Maybe, what I am now is all because of MJ.  Like the rest, I went to FACEBOOK and poured my deepest feelings about the Wacko.  Suddenly, everybody is sad that he was gone.  At least he didn't go alone.  He hitched a ride together with Farah Fawcett and Ed McMahon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much later on, after the 'thingly' feeling, I realized...... Damnit!! MJ got nothing to do with my life.  He didn't even know or remember me. Even though we met at Mt. Elizabeth Hospital many years ago, I don't think he remembered me.  Yes, I grew up listening to him, but I also listened to Scorpions (its a Mat Rock thing), Madonna, Naked Eyes and Helloween.  In fact, I got to where I am NOT because of MJ..... damnit!! I had to sacrifice my own shit to get here!! While I was working hard, MJ was in Neverland, playing with young boys.  I had sacrifice family, relationships, time and more relationships...... and MJ was not there to lend me his glove.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry that his time has come.  Yeah, it's sad that an icon has left us. But, will life stops here? Are we gettin' tax rebate for mourning the whole weekend?  If I'm gettin' laid for mourning, maybe I'll do just that.  Girls love sentimental guys, don't they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly, I am quite saddened by his passing..... BUT, I didn't feel as much when James Brown left.  In fact, I'm more saddened about a report by some American red-neck group saying that ALLAH is the younger cousin of SATAN and Muslims are nephews of SATAN (huh? Satan got cousin's and nephews??)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, its a Friday.  Mourn at your most convenience. If you need a shoulder to cry on, let me know.  To add to your misery, here's something to piss you OFF!!  Biatch!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yzdXcTIBDW0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yzdXcTIBDW0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katt did this stand-up a couple years ago...... he's not feeling sorry, so do I!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RIP Micheal Jackson&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-1269538056303560773?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/1269538056303560773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=1269538056303560773&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1269538056303560773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/1269538056303560773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2009/06/they-way-you-make-me-feel.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-5291238297381609836</id><published>2009-06-25T16:13:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T17:26:28.680+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;I'm Just Itching to blog again........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a lil' tinker for the couples out there...... especially married couples who're trying for a baby.  Actually, it got to do with the techniques of 'trying for the baby'........  I'm not an expert in these things, but after reading and some 'editorial research', this is what I have found and sharing with all you funky MOFOs .......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know how babies are 'made', the laws of the human anatomy and biology.  However, sometimes we are quite unsure how to prevent some things from happening, e.g. how to make sure that your baby is not gonna be a deaf-mute Gay, anorexic, fat or an idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all starts from foreplay.  Yes, it is not during the 'main course', its not how the throbbing  rhythm, which position or the kind of noise that you make. Its what you do during FOREPLAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me explain this. (I didn't make this up.  It is a collaboration of myths and beliefs from different tribes of Niggadom.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the husband were to go down on the wifey during foreplay, (I'm referring to the use of tongue.  Some of you think 'going down' means '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;playing with the toes'&lt;/span&gt;) ...... chances are the baby will have soft, tender skin, with rash-deterrant tissues to protect its tenderness. The rationality to this refers to the molecules from the tongue's reaction during contact with the vagina.  This anatomy process is called the 'Vagina Tandoori'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM4iFcAKxI/AAAAAAAAB-E/jSTchnazRd8/s1600-h/tandoori.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM4iFcAKxI/AAAAAAAAB-E/jSTchnazRd8/s400/tandoori.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351182940472617746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Directly opposite from that is the female's technique of  going 'Low'.  Just like the stupid Flo-Rida song, without the right knowledge of the action can cause severe unhappiness for the nation of united idiots.  Affectionately known as 'blowjob', it is definitely not as easy as blowing anything.  Sometimes, I'm not sure when the 'blowing' comes to affect.  I'm sure there are some who literally tried to blow and suck......... as hard as they can.  Be careful ladies, you don't want to suck too hard or your man might look like .......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM83j2iWqI/AAAAAAAAB-M/KBpnSU6Jgkw/s1600-h/thin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM83j2iWqI/AAAAAAAAB-M/KBpnSU6Jgkw/s400/thin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351187707460737698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...... and again, the art of 'blowjob' is not that easy to achieve.  However, you can start by clicking &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7_dEYafxUY"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;.  Once again, be careful at how you blow..... too much of blowing will make your babies look like ..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM-GDkMhyI/AAAAAAAAB-U/B4Lug6GCWAY/s1600-h/20baby.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM-GDkMhyI/AAAAAAAAB-U/B4Lug6GCWAY/s400/20baby.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351189056003540770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be careful....... it may be cute at first.  Eventually, the baby will grow up as big as possible due to the fact that the air from 'blowing' will get stuck in the genes of the baby. The end result is unsightful and something you might want to stay away from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM_UNrbFVI/AAAAAAAAB-c/wdBcTsIiofc/s1600-h/fat-ass.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SkM_UNrbFVI/AAAAAAAAB-c/wdBcTsIiofc/s400/fat-ass.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351190398748005714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To summarize today's session, before engaging yourself in any action, please understand the meaning, situation, and have a thought of the end-result as it will affect you and people around you.

They are THE Eastern Europe beauties...... with talents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Well-toned bodies, fit and properly-aligned.  Muscles in parts of bodies that you can't imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  They look good in gym-clothings, costumes and God-knows-what-else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  They have very good sense of rythm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  Flexible in any positions, any angle, any situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  Composed, confident and cool.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  Has the ability to smile in difficult situations and positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  Should date them now before they grow old and become Russian sluts in Orchard Towers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  Can insult them in Hokkien and they won't get angry (unless they understand).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Can teach them Hokkien, yet they won't get angry if you insult them....... in Tamil!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14999492-4006245437128933295?l=djrazaq.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/feeds/4006245437128933295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14999492&amp;postID=4006245437128933295&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4006245437128933295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14999492/posts/default/4006245437128933295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://djrazaq.blogspot.com/2008/08/10-reasons-why-you-should-date-russian.html' title=''/><author><name>razaq</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBru7xLBzI/AAAAAAAABVU/_J_hXtRWbqM/S220/kiss2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLESFikOdMI/AAAAAAAABV0/jxMLW83fVzs/s72-c/russian.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14999492.post-1706737633795454353</id><published>2008-08-24T03:58:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T04:19:15.140+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBwAPYUlHI/AAAAAAAABVs/oM7ZjqCpG08/s1600-h/BEEN+LICKED.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h21BxFaWQJo/SLBwAPYUlHI/AAAAAAAABVs/oM7ZjqCpG08/s400/BEEN+LICKED.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237809516062741618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aight......!! Enough already!  You people gotta stop with asking me the same question this past 2 days....... Yeah, that's my real tongue, no, its not a prop.  Yeah, its kinda longer than the average human.  Does that make me a freak.....?!  Some of you may find it freaky, some may start imagining things.  Whatever it is...... its not gonna make me any richer.  So, quit with cynical gestures.
