Have fun & Blog-away!

Things that should make you feel happy!

Yes, if you’re always feeling gloomy and sad, it’s time to change your life! Start to look in detail onto the things in life that are meant to make all of us happy. THEY EXIST FOR A REASON!

What’s that? No idea what are those small little things? It’s time for me to enlighten you. J

Imagine this. You are given piles and piles of assignments from your one week worth of classes and you feel like you’re about to explode. Sleep won’t help. Why? Because when you fall asleep, no elves are going to come out to finish your assignments for you! Elves only fix shoes, not assignments. So, stop daydreaming young cobbler.

The only way you can finish those assignments is to finish it with comfort. Yes, it’s true. Do it with comfort and it’ll be done before this sentence finis---

See what I mean?

THING NUMBER ONE

Picture Credit : G-Riluv

A soothing cup of hot chocolate with baby marshmallows! I would crave for these any day, to be able to sip on it and bite into those chewy marshmallows when all my “work” stress collects in me.

THING NUMBER TWO

Picture Credit

No, not that beetle!!

THE BEATLES. -.-

Picture Credit

Yes, such legends. J It’s always comforting to do work while chilling to their music especially the songs ‘Let It Be’ and ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’. Get up and dance to their songs when you feel tiredness dooming into your bodies. There’s nothing a Beatle can’t handle. ;)

Picture Credit

ANOTHER PICTURE OF THEM JUST BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

THING NUMBER THREE (last one)

A good massage.

Picture Credit

Yes, nothing like a good, relaxing massage to ease those tense shoulder muscles. Get a friend (or your mum) to rub into that stiff neck of yours! It can be from as short as 1 minute to a nice 10 minutes. But I seriously doubt your friend will be willing to be your masseuse for as long as 10 minutes.

Unless you pay them. Hohoho.

Okay, but the main thing is one should ALWAYS enjoy life! It’s sad to see how everyone is so focused on getting their work done while missing out on little things of life.

Other few examples, 

1.      The paper scent of a new book.

2.      The ice cold feeling when your tongue touches ice-cream.

3.      The first gulp of water after a 5 kilometer run.

…and the list goes on. Make your own list and you’ll realize that life is so much more worth appreciating. That is all for today’s post!

PEACE OUT!!!

MYC!’s Zombie Survival Guide

What would you do if zombies invaded Malaysia?!

With the recent news going viral everywhere about that crazed *face-eating* causeway cannibal in Miami which took place just this past Sunday; MYC! has taken it upon themselves to contribute to society with this probably not-so-useful zombie survival guide! Buckle up everyone!

       1. Find a weapon. (Find something!)

Be it a baseball bat with barb wires coiling around it, your dad’s power drill or that hammer which you forgot to return to your neighbour *ahem*! And oh, Tasers and pepper sprays don’t work!

Photo Credit

2. If the background music suddenly gets very quiet, it means a super zombie will appear real soon. Time to reload at this point.

3. When you come across any crying, please don’t go near that woman? Check for bloodied claws and red eyes first. If you startled her, Run-Like-Your-Life depended on it! Literally. A Molotov cocktail will come in handy at this point.

4. Come across anyone who insists that they have not been bitten? Prepare to aim for their heads.

5. Oh and if you find any shiny old trinket, keep it. It may unlock a door/ locker/ chest somewhere.

6. Need to heal? Green herbs revive your health and blue herbs cure poison. Mix anyone of them with a red herb and voila! As good as new!

7. Remember that movie “Zombieland”? If that paranoid dude says double tap. Double tap. Don’t get all stingy with your ammo. And always stick to that sentimental cowboy; give him the last Twinkie (or Twiggie in our country).

8. If there’s a sudden zombie outbreak and it has caught you off guard and empty handed, hide in the drain! Zombie hordes won’t think of looking there, but watch out for infected animals! x__X

Like this post? Feel free to comment on what you will do when zombies strike!

MYC! - We Do Everything For Students... Except Study! ;)

Caught In That Holiday Traffic

It’s Chinese New Year! I dare say that some of you are going back to your respective hometowns to celebrate. I know I am! Yet, it can be a pain to be caught in a traffic jam, no? What was meant to be say, a 5-hour drive from point A to point B could last up to, 7 hours maybe? And it can be a boring.

Here are some fun things you can do when you are caught in what may look like the jam of the century. (WARNING: Other road users may think you are crazy -  or they just won’t realize a thing!)

Blast that music!
Yes, many of us listen to music; either from the radio or your own collection of songs. Put it on reasonably loud! (We would not want any accidents now, do we?) When it is said reasonably loud, not the discotheque kind of loud that would make your car look like a moving disco but loud enough for you to listen to any honking from either ways.

In this case, play Chinese New Year songs! What is more joyous than that? You are on your way to where you grew up from after all!

Read something*

This is a personal favourite! Bring along something light to read like Dik Cergas or Doraemon, or even Archie comics! But always remember to be aware of the car in front of you. Warning: Only read if you’re a good multi-tasker on the road. If not, DON’T EVER TRY! 

Use Your Imagination
This is the fun part; you could imagine many things (Hey, do not take it that way!) You could imagine being caught in a jam is like obstacles where you fight your way through a scary jungle or even fight dragons. Your focus is to the arms of a valiant prince or a beautiful damsel in distress; which is actually, home or your destination. Or, since you are going back to your hometown, just imagine the joy on your family’s face to see you coming home for a special occasion like Chinese New Year! (I know I am excited about getting onto that plane to see my grandpa!)

My advise – Just do not get too carried away with your daydreaming that could lead you to forget about your surroundings, and safety!

Snap away!* 

Almost everyone now owns a camera-phone. So, be the model AND the photographer and shoot away! Who knows, one out of those pictures could be a potential model search photo! Just avoid ending up as the ‘hot topic’ on the internet.

You can also take pictures of your surroundings if you are not the type to take your own pictures. Maybe the cloud, the jam or some ignorant driver or even weird looking car plate numbers.

Karaoke sessions in the car!
This is my favourite thing to do when I am caught in a jam. No doubt, people might think you are crazy because in actual fact, you look like you are talking to yourself – but as long as you are happy! :D If you want to sing without looking like a lunatic, please use your hands-free and put it on to make you look like you are engaged in a conversation on your phone. But you are not alone, then, it would make you look less. ;) Chinese New Year songs are seriously catchy. Sing along even if you do not know the lyrics.

Play verbal games
There are a lot of verbal games online you can play (Example: http://www.chevroncars.com/learn/fun-games/fun-car-games). Of course if you have passengers. 

Communicate!
This applies when you are not driving alone. You could ask your passengers about their day and then conversation will flow by itself later. I am sure, conversations about missing Mum’s cooking will always be an issue.

Please, when doing one of all the above, ALWAYS be careful when you are driving. Do NOT text or make calls and always be aware of your surrounding. Buckle up and lock up. Most importantly, if you are unfit to drive, let someone else do the driving. Be sure you are not under any influence when driving! 

Happy Chinese New Year and have a safe trip, everyone!

* NOT recommended for manual drivers and Non-multitaskers.

Remembering The Old Days

For most of us born around the 1990s, I personally think, compared to the generation born today, have had one of the best childhoods ever!

I can be quite old fashioned at times and I don’t fancy change, no matter what form it may come in. I personally feel sad when looking at children nowadays. I see seven year olds with iPads , iPhones and Facebook accounts. Where is their childhood? Because of advanced technology, many parents these days bring their kids along the rise on gadgets and electronics that contribute to making lives easier but lazier.

These kids are missing out on simple childhood pleasures – getting wet in the rain, getting dirty in sand or mud, falling down from chasing one another, pulling out grass from the garden and possibly attempting to eat it, or grabbing worms (Eww!) Okay, I’ve never done the worms but, I think childhood 10 years ago and more was, awesome!

I used to play with my Cinderella castle with my dad. We would create dialogues and change the original story, like making the Fairy Godmother the villain. I remember playing ‘guli’ (marbles) outside the house. Dad would line them up and we had to hit them, my memory is vague. My family used to go outside to play badminton in parks, and take slow walks around the housing area. Or with friends, we used to pretend we were hunters in the jungle, or conducting a talk show, or imagine we were spies investigating a murder in school. Remember the days of the ‘rotan.’

What do kids do these days? I wonder. They’re either on the TV playing some advanced graphic game or engrossing themselves with the iPhone or iPad, probably playing Angry Birds. Come on, peeps! Those phones and gadgets need a break and we need to reconnect! Let’s balance and avoid spoiling young kids with expensive gadgets. I think the most expensive gift I got was probably a Barbie Doll worth RM40, max. ;)

Angry Birds Or Just Plain Crazy?

Examine this:

Of course, it's the award winning, chart topping, heart winning mobile game, Angry Birds! Yes yes, we all love them Angry Birds, the game that sort of revolutionized mobile gaming, along with Fruit Ninja with their HD graphics and gesture controls, but that was a while ago. Nonetheless, even now, whipping out my phone and throwing down a few rounds of Angry Birds never fails to keep me entertained.

However, there is more to life than mobile gaming, dear readers. Sometimes, we should flex our imagination.

Like this:

OR, sometimes, we just need to get physical.

They're just crazy like that!

Got Milk?

If you do not know this already, the 'Got Milk?' campaign is an American advertising campaign which encourages people to consume cow's milk. Since 1993, the ads have included celebrities from a broad range of fields, including media and entertainment as well as sports and fictional characters from films, all of which feature milk mustaches. Check this out  :)

OK, so if you'd noticed, the same image appears on the December '11 issue of MYC! News. And if I'm not mistaken, we did promise a mystery prize to the first 3 (three) people to give the correct answer as to what the hidden object in the image is.

SO WHAT IF YOUR DAY AT SCHOOL/WORK WAS AN AWFUL ONE?

TOMORROW'S A BRAND NEW DAY  :)

Greatest Trilogies Ever!

Picture taken from here

Star Wars - As a Star Wars fan (of the original trilogy, not the Natalie Portman/Hayden Christensen one) this naturally sits at the top of my list. Created by George Lucas, the space opera film series include Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Who could forget those adorable Ewoks and the hunkalicious, roguish Han Solo (Harrison Ford)?
Memorable quote: "No, I am your father," says Vader to Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. Now that is one of the biggest shockers in movie history, ladies and gentlemen.

Picture taken from here

The Godfather - One of the major gangster films around, The Godfather chronicles the experiences of the Italian-American Corleone family. The second and third parts of the trilogy came out in 1974 and 1990 respectively. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the trilogy boast stars like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton and James Caan, among others.

Memorable quote - "I'm gonna make him an offer he won't refuse" (uttered by Don Vito Corleone) was voted the second most memorable line in cinematic history to the American Film Institute (right after Rhett Butler's "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" from Gone With the Wind).

Picture taken from here

The Bourne Trilogy - Created by author Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Trilogy tells the story of Jason Bourne, a former CIA assassin suffering from extreme memory loss as he races to solve the mysteries of his past while he is being pursued by members of the very organization that he was hired into. Comprising of the Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, the Bourne Trilogy stars Matt Damon, Franka Potente and Julia Stiles.

Memorable quote - In Bourne Identity, this amnesiac hunk tells Marie "I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the corner weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab or the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Bow why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?"

Picture taken from here

The Indiana Jones franchise - Wait, wait, before you could go, "eh, this is not a trilogy!" let me tell you that this writer is still in denial and thus refuses to acknowledge the fourth installment (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) due to its horrifyingly bad storyline. I mean, c'mon...aliens, Indie? Like there's not enough ancient tombs to raid and mummies for you to evade, you had to get tangled up with extraterrestrial beings and Soviets now? And oh don't you get me started on Shia LaBeouf's character *hiss*

Memorable quote - "DON'T call me Junior!" shouts Indiana at his father (Professor Henry Jones, played by Sean Connery).

Picture taken from here

The Evil Dead Trilogy - If you're a fan of zombie movies and have never seen The Evil Dead, kindly smack yourself over the head. The Evil Dead, if you must know, is a trilogy of films created by Sam Raimi (yes, folks, Raimi is the same dude behind the Spider-Man franchise). The story begins with five college students vacationing in an isolated cabin. There, they discover the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (the Book of the Dead). Their vacation soon turns nightmarish when they unintentionally release a hoard of demons who begin to kill and then, possess them.

Memorable scene:

Ash: (talking to the mirror) I'm fine, I'm fine.

(Mirror Ash jumps out of the mirror and grabs Ash)

Mirror Ash: I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound 'fine'?

*Just FYI? This scene is a heart attack waiting to happen*

So yeah, there you go, five of the writer's favourite trilogies. 

What's yours?
