I Want No Regrets.

Sunday, October 29, 2006

I want no regrets,
When I look back on my life,
At all the things I've done,
I don't want to see a girl looking all forlorn saying,
" What have I become? ".

I want no regrets,
When I look at my friends of long,
At all the things they have done and seen,
And turn to myself and think,
That could have been me.

I want no regrets,
When I look back on the things of the past,
At my actions and words I never meant but said,
I wish to learn now and not repeat,
From all the immature mistakes that I've made.

I want no regrets,
Even when I don't always make,
The right choices in life,
God knows I've done my best,
So I can look back and say " It's alright".

I want no regrets,
Even when the road I take,
May make life seem unbearable at times,
I know the right choices ain't always easy,
So faith in God and stubborn pride
will carry me through such hard times.

I want no regrets,
When my decisions in life,
Cause opportunities to pass me by,
When one door closes, another opens,
So I just won't sit around and cry.

So right now as I walk thorough this life,
I'll strive to do my best,
In the years to come I'll look back and say,
" I had no regrets ".

Of hilarious subtitles and CEOs

Sunday, October 22, 2006

The level of Malaysian pirated DVDs never ceases to amaze me. Yes, pirated DVDs are increasing tremendously. Look around at any coffee shop and you're bound to find at least 1 DVD seller.

What really amazes me, and gets my funny bone going on for hours, is their subtitles be it in Malay or English. Being a banana I can only read these two. No wise cracks please. On to the subject...

I remember watching a pirated version of Chicken Little less than a year ago I think. Darn, I'm getting old. Can't even remember when I watched it. Dear God, please don't let me turn senile to early..
As I was saying, I turned on the English subtitles as well. (Don't ask why. I've always had this habit of reading subtitles eventhough I can understand what the movie is about. A habit thats hard to break. Must have been too much Chinese soaps when I was younger.)

Anyway, there was a scene in the movie when chicken little said, "Where's my acorn?".And the subtitles read...."Where's my air-con?"...Just imagine a huge giant air-con falling on him!
Another scene, I'm not too sure what was happening already, the whole group of chicken little's friends were running from something. Then I think the pig shouted, " Fish, run for it!"....The subtitles read...." B**** run for it!"...Oh gosh. They called that cute little fishy a b****!...I couldn't stop laughing for a long time.

In another movie which I didn't watch but my mum related to me. Now this is worse because I heard that this movie was on TV and not some pirated DVD. In the movie, a person stands up and says, " I want to make a toast."...My mum was reading the Malay subtitles and they read.."Saya nak bakar roti"...Oh my gosh. How low can you get? Not even to realize the difference between this toast and toast bread??.. Here the character in the movie was trying to make a toast ond we in turn wanted to make toast bread. The TV producers should get some real translators.

Seriously am getting old. Can't remember where I saw this next hilarious part.It was a pirated DVD btw. In the movie, the character said, " Holy shit!!"...Everyone knows he/she was in some kind of trouble or saw something incredible to exclaime like that right? Our subtitles?...You're gonna love this one. They read "Tahi suci!"..Whahahahaha. Yes they really did. Directly translated it would mean that but c'mon already. I still can laugh about it till now. *bursts out laughing*

Recently I watched the The Devil Wears Prada on, you guessed it, another pirated DVD. Anyway the movie wasn't too bad but you'll have to love clothes to really enjoy it. A bit confusing here and there but I read the book before so it wasn't so bad. The English subtitles were horrendous. And to think I was counting on the subtitles to help me understand the movie a little better. Sheesshh. Anyway there was this part in the movie when a girl said, " When the boss is in a good mood, she's very good. But when she's in a bad mood, she's vicious." The subtitles came out before she spoke the words and guess what they said?..." When she's in a bad mood,she's fish shit."....Vicious = fish shit. I was bawling with laughter. Honestly. I even opened my ears wide enough to hear if the girl would actually call her boss fish shit.Turned out to be vicious instaed. * shakes head*

Note to self : Never rely on subtitles on pirated DVDs to understand the movie. Most of them anyway.

Germae was asking me the other day about what I wanted to be later in life. How easy it was 10 years ago to just say "Doctor".

Anyway I said I wasn't sure as usual. Heck, I'm not even sure what course I'll be taking in college. So anyway I asked her what she thinks I should do.

Guess what my lovely baybeh said?...She said, and I quote, " I feel you could be a Chief Executive Officer"...So sweet of her la. Imagine me a CEO. Hah. *mind floats away to dreamland*.Teehee.

Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends out there!!!!!

GRRRR.

Not at the best of moods at this very moment.

Know what I really can't stand?

People trying to read an article when I'M trying to read it. I don't mind, really, if we're sitting side by side reading the article or whatever it is. This (rant) mainly concerns people who like to poke their head over my shoulder and start reading whatever I'm reading. Look, kindly just ask for it after I have finished reading it ok? I would really appreciate that. Don't just stick your head at my shoulder and start reading it like nobodys business. Do I look like I like to have someone breathing down my neck? I don't blame you if you barely know me. In fact, I'll just stop reading and just pass it to you if you are someone I've just met.

But I guess some people are too dense to get the message after I've done this repeatedly. Ugh.

On a totally unrelated but similar matter.

When someone says your little antic is getting irritating, get the message and stop doing it for goodness sake. Some people have only so much self control. Do we need to stick a note on our heads to remind you all the time? I mean, sure, it was entertaining for a while. Then it just starts to get annoying and gradually becomes downright irritating. When no one else is laughing, the jokes over. Period. Even if you find it funny for some reason or another.
