Swamp Thing You Make my Heart Sing

I remember growing up in Tuaran and falling in love with a show called 'The Swamp Thing'. Does any 80s baby remember this? I remember it was a very scary looking green humanoid lump of vegetation with slime all over it, but I was far too young to remember what exactly Swamp Thing WAS and how he came to life. Swamp Thing basically protected his,uhh, swamp against evil soldiers and environmental disasters. I remember my brother and I always sang the theme song with full rock out mode (it was a cover of The Troggs' Wild Thing).We even did air guitar movements, jumped off the sofa and slid down onto the ground rolled around and screamed into an imaginary mic: "Swamp thing!!!!".The Who's Pete Townsend would have been proud.


I wanted to buy this shirt sooo bad but buntil only meant it to be for display.Dayumm.

(shirt spotted on display at buntil, Sungei Wang).

US Beer Drinking Team


Team member #1: Alex Lai. He trains very hard to be a fully committed member of this team. The ever-expanding girth of his potbelly is a true testament to his tenacity in ensuring that every.single.beer mug set in front of him gets guzzled down before someone else steals it.

fables of a bygone digital era as told to my unborn child





When I was your age,we never had CDs.We had these things called 'floppy discs'.And they really were floppy so u had to be careful not to bend them!And they could get fungus on them,so you had to make sure they were clean and dry!At the most they could keep 200mb.But it didn't matter that they kept so little memory, our hard disc space at the time was 6gigs at the most, imagine that!

Now you see this man here wearing a shirt with the words 'Dirty Digital ' on it? Now that's a play on the a movie entitled 'Dirty Dancing', this was during a time when movies involving song and dance were more whorish and fun.Nothing like the crap you watch like High School Musical.


Another day, child.I'm going to tell you about Atari, Sega and Nintendo.

Me speak very goof englig

























Wah, very power ah your english. You cannot endure ever armed conflicts, eh?Good lah.I oso cannot endure. We so ngam la. Why donchu BE MIEL.

KK is OK


We represent the east side of hustlers!KK city, the struggle.The hood.KK city, yo it's all good!
















OK that was annoying.Forgive the blackspeak and bad asian attempt at rapping. This is a random guy i spotted at the side of the DJ deck at Shennanigans. No,I did not get his name, nor did I get to ask where he got the shirt from, what the brand was.etc.I was off my head that nite as per usual.I could barely even walk or sit,let alone talk.But I did manage to guzzle drinks down and at the same time snap this photo.

This shirt screams KK, maan. It is awesome.I love my city.Land of the uncultured and uncouth.I wouldnt trade it for any place on earth.

(Ok I would maybee trade it for Sydney)

Lacoste sighting


It is always a welcome change to see a girl out at a pub dressed down,wearing a tshirt, skinny jeans and selipar jipuns. This outfit is by far more welcome in my books compared to seeing a girl wear a dress with a lot of glitter, buttons and more see through material than a saran wrapped frozen chicken.Maybe because the ammount of glitter on your outfit is almost a predeterminer of how annoying and Ah Lien you will be to me?Fuck knows.I wear tshirts to clubs.I may not look as nice as your girlfriend, but at least I can squat and vomit comfortably at the post-clubbing mamak/kedai kopi toilet.

This tshirt is LACOSTE, baybee.A very rare sight in KK, the city of Nike adoration (my ex highschool even had a gardener that fashioned a Nike swoosh landscape out of lalang and grass on the side of our hill).

I gave up sex, drug and drink.


Story of my life
