WOOOOH!!

First off just want to apologise for the lack of updates. Admit that i lost the initial zeal of providing gians to the gianpeng community, the gianpeng world. Although i haven't been posing up new gians, it doesn't mean they don't exist! Gians are still ongoing and the easiest but disciplined manner of coveting gians is simply to check in the links page on my blog daily!

On my part, i won not one but TWO! Movie premieres last week, the first being THE KINGDOM and the second too THE TATOOIST hehe.

Lastly just want to congratulate DF and QUEEN on their gians!!!! I'm so proud of you guys! Its like watching your child grow up in your footsteps! It's like seeing a business proposal maturing into plans being carried out! Its like when u touch yourself and you poon chup! Okay that was abit out of line. These aside, once again congrats! You are no longer a virgin noob gianee!

Cheers!



I am not NOOB ok!

ALL YE NOOBS!


YOU NOOB!


YOU NOOB!


YOU NOOBS!


YOU NOOOOOOOOOB!!

So now i'm a scam! I remembered being praise just mere weeks ago about my kindness in providing answers to contest, providing contest details, congratulated on my gians. But now i've been degraded to a scammer! I only can say this one thing.. BAN ALL NOOBS! haha..

Honestly don't worry, you'll win something soon. Don't give up!

Cheers

Why 30 Oct should be declared world annoyance day

Its been almost 2 weeks since my last gian omg. This is wrong! This is badddd.. Its a catastrophe! I'm at a loss. So much for my a gian a week mission sigh. My wild imagination has led me to think that somehow they stumbled upon this website and have joined arms to permanently banned me from all future competitions. Help!

Woes aside, let me explain why 30 Oct should be declared as "THE DAY OF ANNOYANCE!" worldwide. I had the most annoying day ever last week. Its so annoying!! Seriously! Like seriously!!!

So it all started that fateful night. I was at IMM and had craving for the famous "Pontian Mee." It being so famous, i'm sure it would taste like, if not better, than its twin, the same pontian mee outlet at the Heeren. I then walked ALL THE WAY to the coffee shop at jurong east to satisfy my urges.

The yummy thing about the famous pontian mee is its wantons, both fried and boiled along with the chilli it's served with. Having come all the way from IMM i was tired but what i saw gave me a shock of my life.



introducing jurong east pontian mee. Looks quite alot? But my camera was only an inch away from the bowl.




OMG THE WANTON IS ONLY SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN A 10C COIN. AND THE WORST THING IS THERE IS NO MEAT INSIDE. NO MEAT! NO FU****** MEAT INSIDE AT ALL! ITS EATING FLOUR! I THOUGHT THE COST OF FLOUR INCREASED? STILL SO MUCH FLOUR? NO BLOODY MEAT!



Apparently this stall's pontian mee is served with noodles, char siew, flour shaped like wantons and vegetable STEMS. OMG STEMS.

TULAN.

The next incident that made me so ANNOYED was this crap cheater bugger thingy u see below. Its called the POP gun or something like that i can't really remember. Anyways to summarise its simply to use the bloody air gun, cock it, put a rubber pellet at the top and shoot down a rubber ducky about the size of 3 50c coints and win a prize! That simple. What's more, each ducky down equates to a prize. What a fantastic deal hor.



So there i was observing how those who tried this fared. Oh ya by the way if you're interested you can find this stall at the pasam malam beside jurong east mrt station. As i was saying, i was looking at the "contestants." This bloody game doesnt even have a limit to how far u can stretch out your arm to shoot the duckies! So everyone was entending their arm as far as they could. The nearest i saw was like maybe a metre's difference from the rilfe barrel to the duckie, and they still missed! So i was unbashfully sniggering and laughing openly at them. To which they gave the wtf u so clever u come try face to me. So after they emptied their 8 bullets for 3 dollar ammunition, i stepped up.

Being a nightshot marksman myself, i was thinking how difficult can this be? What's 3 metres man. And so, being army trained, iit was time to do the nation and the SAF proud. I took the super cool stance.. ADOPT STANDING SHOULDER POSITION!



yes folks, amidst all the croonies who stuck out an arm to reach as close to the target as possible, i cooldy struck my pose and bang! i missed.

and missed

and missed

and missed

and missed

and missed....

By now i was WTF this thing is rigged! Unfair! omg. What was worse was that those i openly jeered, sniggered at and made fun off now gave me the haha you dumb piece of shit face. So in a final bid to save some face, i abandoned all manliness and stretched my arm as far as i could to the dumb duckie. and missed

and missed

and missed.

I faster took bus home without looking back.

most annoying day ever.

Wow thanks Dan for your input. Its so empowering to see fellas from the gianpeng community contributing to the good of us all! With more sources, it equals to more gians and ultimately more chances to win! Good job Dan and thanks =) Appreciate it.

Over at MTV Asia, you can win Cds, trips and movie tickets!

gianisty ********

I give it a 8/10 score for its breath. However due to the high popularity of the site, it would mean a lower chance of a successful gian. So don't be dissappointed if you don't win ya?

Just some articles i found interesthing over the past weeks

At a conference in Kuala Lumpur last year, muftis and scientists pondered how to pray in space in the face of difficulties locating Mecca and holding the prayer position in a zero-gravity environment. — AFP



LOL


Girl raped by dad 23 times from age 8

472 words
18 October 2007
Straits Times
English
(c) 2007 Singapore Press Holdings Limited


FOR one 10-year-old girl, hell was a place called home.


For over a year, starting when she was just eight, the girl was raped no fewer than 23 times at home by her father.


The 68-year-old man, who was married three times, forced himself on her even when her mother was asleep in an adjacent room in their three-room flat.


The rapes started in 2005 and ended only in February this year, when her school principal found out about the man's sordid deeds.


Early this year, the Primary 4 schoolgirl told four classmates she knew about sex as a man had slept with her and kissed her. Her troubled friends spoke to their mothers and the principal eventually found out that she had been abused by her father since she was in Primary 1.


This led to the man's arrest in late February. The girl is now in the care of a foster family.


Yesterday, the man, a chauffeur, was jailed 24 years for the series of sexual abuse on the youngest of his nine children. He was spared the cane on account of his age.


Deputy Public Prosecutor Stella Tan told Justice Tay Yong Kwang that the girl, who was born and raised in Indonesia, arrived here in July 2003 for her studies. Barely three months after her father brought her here, he began molesting her.


The father told police after his arrest that he saw his daughter scratching her buttocks one evening and he suddenly felt like touching her. (WTF!? REASON IS THAT?)


The girl, who initially slept on the same bed as her parents, was woken up by her father one night. He led her to the living room, where he molested her on a sofa.


He later warned her that if she told anyone about what he did, both she and her mother would not be able to stay on in Singapore. Out of fear, she keep quiet.


From May 2005 till January this year, the man would rape her every month. In February, he raped her twice.


After the first incident, she told her mother that 'papa touched me'. Her mother simply told her not to sleep on her parents' bed anymore.

Urging the court to impose a sentence that reflected the severity of the offences, DPP Tan said the man had taken advantage of his position of trust and subjected his daughter to his 'cruel acts' to 'satisfy his selfish sexual lust'.

In his mitigation, the man told the court he loved his daughter very much. 'She is closer to me than my wife...I never intended this to happen,' he said.

The man, who faced three rape charges, could have been jailed up to 20 years on each charge

23 times? Seriously. Like seriously. I loathe paedophiles to the core. If i had a chance I'd volunteer to perfrom the whipping or whatever tortures given to them. Notice how they only feel remorse AFTER they have been caught. For what it's worth, no amount of punishment can atone for what they did. Seriously. Like seriously. Wtf man.

On a lighter note,

A robot mate the cure for all lonely hearts?
As far-fetched as it sounds, a scientist predicts that a US state will allow marriage with androids by 2050

JOSEPH YADAOjoseph.yadao@mediacorp.com.sg

ABSURD! That was my reaction to a recent report on the Internet that anticipated that humans would be marrying robots within the century.

Earlier this week, artificial intelligence researcher David Levy of the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told Livescience.com he predicted that Massachusetts in the United States — home to Ivy-League Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a state liberal enough to push for same-sex marriages — could be the first place on earth to legalise marriages with robots by the year 2050.

You may think such a comment would come from someone who has spent too much time playing with his Aibo, Sony's now-defunct robot dog, and watching Futurama.

But in reality, that prospect is not as far-fetched as we may think.

In Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with his ivory sculpture Galatea, whom he married after she was brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite.

Fast forward to the modern world: Can science play the role of Aphrodite?

Movies and books in pop culture dictate that robots will increasingly become a part of our lives.

And just in case your image of the future involves a shotgun-carrying android version of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing sunglasses and riding a Harley, the robot maid Rosey in The Jetsons as well as Star Wars' C3PO point to a more peaceful futuristic co-existence between man and machine.

Today's robots have been largely kept behind the closed doors of mass-production manufacturing plants — doing the job of insert bolt, weld and repeat.

The Japanese have already developed robots to ease the burden on a declining labour force and an ageing population.

A vacuum-cleaning machine makes nightly rounds in some of Tokyo's skyscrapers, while US$3,500 ($5,100) robots with a spoon-and-fork swivelling arm help feed the elderly or disabled.

Honda's Asimo, a 130-cm tall robot that resembles an astronaut, is the closest science has come to replicating a human robot. As Japan's most famous humanoid, Asimo has danced and dined with dignitaries as an unofficial Japanese ambassador in between stints as a coffee-serving receptionist.

It is not exactly what people envision their android spouses to be, but it's a start.

Given the power to design the perfect mate, I'm pretty sure the curves and abs would be put in the right places as well.

Robotics pioneer Masahiro Mori believes robots should not have human-like appearance and movements, saying in 1970 that they would have an eerie feel about them should they adopt the physical imperfections of human beings.

Even so, few will be surprised to see a mechanical Brad Pitt or Jennifer Love Hewitt — the robots, not the Hollywood stars.

People can develop affection for the most inanimate objects, be it a mobile phone or a car.

Children form emotional bonds with their digital tamagotchis, with some shedding a tear when their "pet" dies.

Why not a machine that cooks, cleans, listens and even understands?

Psychologists have found around a dozen reasons why people fall in love, argues Dr Levy, and most of these can be programmed into the entity.

Even then, will society accept a union between man and machine?

The jury is still out, but some women are already cheering the prospects of a nuts-and-bolts man.

A friend told me she would welcome an android husband: "If he pushes the wrong buttons, I'll just pull the plug."

How interesthing. Can't really imagine this happening. But honestly i do not believe it will. It will mean the end of mankind! Like I Robot. Omg

Who's your daddy!!

I was abit stressed out this week. In view of keeping up with my one gian a week, i was wondering and worrying where this weeks gian would come from as there weren't many contests around. But being a true master gianee, keeping in step with the discipline of the way, i received an sms yesterday evening! It reads

Congratulations Norman! You have win the grand prize of a Timbre pizza and 2 drinks in Youth.sg's Whatever Wednesday contest! Just show this SMS to Jeanine or Aloysius at Timbre tomorrow (17 Oct) during Rock Your World from 7pm-9pm to redeem your prize.

Who's Your Daddy! Yay. For those of you who aren't my regular blog readers, (come to think of it only got queen and sometimes Hansel who are. haha) i took part in this contest. Let me show you what it was about.

WIN! The most creative entry wins the grand prize of a Timbre pizza and 2 drinks during Rock Your World tonight on Oct 10, Wed! There will also be two consolation prizes of 2 drinks each for the next two best entries!

HOW? Just come up with 3 ways to express the emotion, “Joy” in good English - it could be a phrase, a saying, a poem, or more! Email your answers to contest@youth.sg with your name, contact number and I/C number by this Sun, Oct 14 at 11:59pm.*

And here was my entry

I felt some joy upon coming across this week's "Whatever Wednesday Supplement." I would be joyous if I could receive the consolation prizes of two drinks! Ecstatic joy will overcome me as I scream in jubilation when i hear that I have won the first prize at Timbre tonight!

I swear my entry was utter nonsense. Maybe i might get the consolation prize? But in the end i got the grand prize! Amazing. I kept laughing when i first saw the sms. Either not many people took part, or the organisers are afraid of my wrath.

"hell hath no fury like a gianee's wrath"

Three new gians! Hurry hurry! Take part now.

Thou shalt not steal...but he stole a Bible


A DISTRICT judge dished out more than just a jail term yesterday to a man who had stolen a Bible to replace his torn and tattered one.

Community Court judge Bala Reddy gave the thief a new Bible before packing him off to prison for four months.

Before Tan Jit Liang, 26, left the dock, District Judge Reddy told him to open his gift and turn to a certain page in the Old Testament.

The judge said: 'You will see at page 65 that it says 'Thou shalt not steal'.

'While you are in prison, sit in prison and read the Bible, and ensure that you don't come before the courts again.''

The judge noted that Tan had several previous convictions for theft and had stolen books before.

'Now you have gone on to steal the Bible,'' the judge admonished.

Tan admitted telling a psychiatrist that he wanted a new Bible to replace his old one which had been torn.

Judge Reddy warned him that he would be considered for corrective training - a stricter regime meant for repeat offenders - the next time he broke the law again.

He jailed him for four months for stealing the New International Version Bible and a Bible cover which cost $99 from Tecman Management Services at Bras Basah Complex on Sept 17.

Police inspector Sheik Alaudeen said a sales assistant saw Tan behaving suspiciously at the shop at about 1.30pm that day.

The sales assistant stopped Tan outside the shop. He was hugging his haversack in front of him and became defensive.

Upon checking the contents in the bag, the shop assistant found the two items which had not been paid for.

Tan was detained and handed over to the police.

Pleading for leniency yesterday, Tan said he realised his mistake and promised not to offend again.

He had previous convictions for breaching protection orders and had been stealing since 2002.

He was last given two months' jail for theft almost a year ago.

Tan could have been jailed for up to seven years for his latest offence
