xniquet's boredom playlist: rainy days

Marilyn Manson /Putting Holes in Happiness
Fast becoming my favorite track on his new CD, un-Gothlike song, but with traces of U2 and Metallica inside.
30 Seconds to Mars/The Kill
Currently, my favorite EMO song, he is damn right when he sings: “Bury me! Bury me!”
30 Seconds to Mars/From Yesterday
Another song which caught my attention, taken from the CD “A Beautiful Lie”, it is fast becoming one of my most played tracks.
Avril Lavinge/ When You’re Gone
Reminds me of “I’m with You”, nice tune but the lyrics are a little bit too corny for my taste.
Breaking Benjamin/Rain
Nice acoustic that will make you hate rainy days….
Staind/Epiphany
Another EMO acoustic song which will definitely make you feel like committing suicide

It’s been raining shit and brick last few days and rainy days to me are somewhat a trigger to make me feel emo, I don’t have any bad memories on rainy days but it brings my mood down, hence an Emo playlist is created. Maybe, the thought that I can’t go cycling vigorously or hang out at the beach just saddens me… okie la, play more Sims 2…

Do you like rainy days? Some people thinks’ it’s a gift from god that wash away the bloody heat wave and hopefully it will waste away their sins too. To some, raining at the right time is a gift but raining on the wrong time is a curse. My worst nightmare was stuck in a traffic jam for hours. I consider myself lucky to never have been going through hell. Some lived to tell the tale; they left the airport one rainy night around 10is and reached their destination around 4is. Some of you would know which bloody traffic jam I am referring to. Smile and be glad that you were part of history. But in a hick ass town like Kuantan, how much damage can a heavy rain do? Let me see, you would probably have to wash your clothes again because you were too lazy and left it outside when it was raining or you would probably miss your favorite Fried Kuey Tiao stall at the pasar malam because they don’t open when it rains, even if it drizzle, Yeah you got it right, people ion Kuantan are so lazy. Look at me …:P. What’ else? Can’t go sun tan or swimming after work or any sports that you’re into after work. Ah yes, there is life after work here, you still get to see the sun after work here.

Lastly, I know someone will be devastated when it rains here. Rain means wet, means fur will get dirty because they don’t make dog boots, and means no going out for walk. What to do? Showing the pity face doesn’t change the fact that it rained …

Things that you can’t do in Kuantan when it rains…..


1. Cycling

2.Hang out at the beach

xniquet's game playlist: the sims 2

HOW TO PLAY THE SIMS 2 AS A BUM...

Nowadays, people are just love a good reality shows and even games. The Sims 2 is practically a reality game that would have you glued to your seats. Dressing and undressing your Sims; feeding and bathing your Sims, flirting and “Woo-Hoo”ing other Sims until to wee hours of the night. We let our Sims achieve what we always wanted but couldn’t and have been long deprived. We live recklessly through our Sims. I have always wondered how it feels to be a Bum. Someone once told me that if you to be something, just make sure you be the best, so for my Sim I will have him become the Ultimate Bum.I imagine a Great Bum would be like this: He is unemployed, doesn’t need to bath, never exercise (check out the belly), eats a lot, play games and chat online all day and doesn’t change his white underwear.

Meet my Sim - Count X. He is a nature loving freak and likes to sit under the tree at the corner of the street in his trade mark white underwear, and trying to achieve Bum Nirvana.

He is also a friendly person and love to socialize in his white underwear with barely legal teens.

He likes to MSN a lot in his white undies. I hope the people in my MSN list don’t freak out okie? I don’t have any white underwear.

His favorite food is Lunch Meat Sandwich which he eats a hell lot…in his famous white underwear.

Once a while he takes out the thrash because he is a Capricorn (neat freak), hey nobody is perfect right?

He checks his mails everyday….in his work attire.

But sometimes when I am not watching, he loves to get naked and use to sink to wash himself…..

Stay tune, for Count X may just seems a dirty Bum in white undies on the surface but there’s another he thinks he is in the Matrix and all of this isn’t real…..

xniquet's grooming playlist: shaving 101

Incubus/Oil and Water
Oasis/Don’t Go Away
Audioslave/Doesn't Remind Me
Mika/ My Happy Ending

I enjoy getting a shave, but a lot of guys don’t. Too many a times, guys just rushed into it and ended up with cuts and not a clean/close shave. I was one of them because I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about it and I know nuts about grooming. But later on I discover the joy of it. I slowly take my time going about it step by step and a song list to accompany me. Please don’t sing along when you are shaving, you might cut yourself. The basic things you need when you need to have a good clean shave are just shaving blades, foam and after shave. That is the most basic stuff you need, but along the years, I sort of like pick up a habit of using more and more products and items.

ONE. First and foremost before you shave, you must always clean your hands and apply some warm water on the area where you want to shave then you apply the shaving foam generously. A good substitute for shaving foam is olive oil. If you can’t find foam, use oil instead. Start shaving.

TWO. After you are done with ONE, wash off the excess foam on your face and wipe your face dry with a clean towel. Then proceed to use the electric shaver. This is to give you a really close shave.

THREE. Once you are done with TWO, it is time to wash your face with a cleanser or if you want, use a facial scrub for exfoliation. Exfoliation works best after 8pm.

FOUR. Wipe your face dry with a clean towel; always use a fresh new towel. Then comes my favorite part, after shave; splash a generous amount on the area that you have just been through. I just love the cooling and stinging feeling when you apply it. Lastly, moisturize your face.

Left to Right: Givenchy Blue Label, Gillette Series After Shave Balm, Shiseido MG5 After Shave Lotion, Body Shop’s Aloe Vera Soothing Moisture Serum

Givenchy Blue Label After Shave (RM89.00/100ml)
-If you are a fan of Givenchy Blue Label scent, this is the one to get.
Gillette Series after Shave Balm (RM13.90)
-Cheap and quite a good product. After you use this you need minimum moisturizing because it acts as a moisturizing too. I love the smell too. The only drawback, the cooling sensation doesn’t last.
Shiseido’s MG5 After Shave Lotion (RM20.00/150cc)
-Maximum chilling sensation and it is scentless too, for those who doesn’t like after shave scent. This is the one for you.
Body’s shop’s Aloe Vera Soothing Moisture Serum. (RM49.90 -30ml)
- If you are not a fan of using moisturizers, let me recommend you Body’s shop’s product. This is one of the best things to use for sensitive skin. Usually I will use this serum first before I apply another layer of moisturizer; it makes your skin feeling fresh.

“I don’t have a problem with growing facial hair but sometimes I feel fresher when I have a clean shave. I just love touching my freshly shaved face. Grooming isn’t all about products and tools to help you look good, but it is also about discipline- remember 2 things: Hydration and Rest”

Just a rough idea of songs that I packed into my iPod when I go Cross Country Cycling. This isn’t meant for hardcore downhilling, if you are going for a downhill, I suggest you check out my downhill list. Here’s a 30 song list for your cycling pleasure. Most of the songs are fun to sing along so that you won’t get bored while pedaling your bike and also to keep your mind off the acid that is building up in your tights and the pain on your ass from long hours sitting on the saddle.

I love cross country cycling. Climbing steep hills, switching gears and coming down from it with the strong wind on your face. It’s a great workout and you get to see the natural beauty that surrounds you. Here’s some pictures that I have taken from my many trips across Kuantan while cycling.

Choosing right set of wheels and tires is important. Here you will see my spanking new Specialized 3.75 inch Knobby tires. The wider the tires are, more grip but more workout. If you plan to hit the road for a easy ride, I suggest a 1.95 inch road tires will give you an edge in beating your buddies but you got to watch out for those rocks on the road.

Early morning in Teluk Chempadek (TC) to watch the sun rise, but I didn’t see any. But the “Nasi Lemak Sambal Kerang” at the end of the stalls is pretty good, so all is not lost.

This was taken when I was on my way to Duta Sands to meet a bunch of Kite Surfers, I decided to take the off road trail but ended up at this cheap Motel instead.

A pillbox that I found along the way, I guess it was one of the shits that the British left here during their stay.

This is the half bridge to nowhere that the local authorities build. Those dipshit needed to justify the taxpayer’s money, so they decided to build a bridge out to the South China Sea, what are they thinking? Trying to link Kuantan and Kuching?

At Duta Sands, a surfer’s paradise; I got so carried away; I just threw my bike there. Lucky there wasn’t any bike enthusiast, they are mostly surfers and they don’t give a shit about bikes. So no one took my bike.

I tried taking the beach route home, but it didn’t took me home, instead I ended up at a kampong, where I have to turned my ass back to Duta Sands again. This was taken at the dead end. No more beach, just sea and a huge ass tree in the middle of the beach…

As I reach Duta Sands, the sun was setting and it getting dark. I have been out since 3pm.

I just love this tree and the sun setting behind it. The shape of the tree reminds me of pubic hair. Wukakaka…

On my way back, I had to pass thru’ a Catholic cemetery and I saw a huge ass crucifix tomb stone. I had to stop and take a picture of it.

X on Aftermath

"Cross country cycling is fun and a good cardio workout. Drink tons of water when you are going out cycling in the sun (get a CAMELBAK) and don’t forget your sun screen. Sometimes, you’ll get caught in many things when you are out there for hours. Rain is one thing. When you are in the middle of a jungle trail, rain not only makes you wet but dirty too. Rain water + Earth = MUD (Lots of them). Not to mentioned all the water going into your mouth and splashing on your back. But it is not all that bad. Getting mud all over your face and body is good for you :) Just treat it as a MUD bath at the SPA. It’s a great exfoliating agent. When you get back just makes sure you clean them out thoroughly. If you have long hair, got easy on your hair when you are scratching them, those tiny grains of sand might be trapped in your hair. Have fun cycling!!! "
