[Copywriter's Chronicles] She’s not here
Feb 9th
I’m very sure that Ian would be happy with this.
BM: Have a seat. She’s (Ian’s) not here.
Yes I know, low quality.
[Politics] Moving on now
Feb 9th
Zambry vs Nizar, Zambry won. As expected. Takkan the BN want to give Nizar control now, right?
Now that this farce is over, let’s get on with it. There are whispers that snap polls are coming, and they are coming soon. I find this amusing because these rumours ALWAYS happen when Najib’s ratings are high. However, this is then dampened when a new crisis to hit Najib’s reputation appears (we’ll discuss whether Najib has any online credibility later).
So, will there be snap polls in Perak? I don’t think so. If we go by online opinions at least, a snap polls within the next three months would be suicidal, at least in the urban areas where the Internet is prevalent. Rural voters might not care, as long as goodies are given.
The next month is going to be quiet.
Writing quote
Feb 8th
“He bound her with chains of longing. With desire and lust of power, did his desire overcome her freedom. He sought to restore to life his mistakes. For her crimes, did she deserve punishment, and such a one she sought, but more than that she was punished.”
What does the above scenario sound like to you?

If you’re a writer or consider yourself a writer, do you also like working with your hands? I’m talking things like knitting, cooking, crafting (creating cosplay props count), gardening, DIY, repairing stuff, etc.
If you do, then what’s your passion? What do you do besides giving in to the all-consuming master that is writing?
[Poetry] Simply impressions
Feb 4th
The samurai fight
Within the shadows they battle
The woman sings, a force of her own
The man speaks of violence, of swords
Her voice is a counterpart to the man
She raises her hand to her face
Unable to believe that it belongs to her
The man does the same
but it looks like he’s merely smelling himself
On a distant shore
Two warriors fight
The music they play
Is reflected by the woman’s tempting, haunting contralto
But she is ultimately contemptuous
A warrior falls
The hand grips the sword harder
An arrow flies
As though guided by the woman’s last words
He falls
The concert of the dead is finished.
Inspired by this music video. I’m pretty sure I got the impressions wrong.

Black Sansa Clip+ MP3 player in box, first was a girl, now is a boy named Sansa.
Meet Sansan.* He’s a boy, a few years old, and I’m learning how to sync him up with his elder brother, Kuro. It’s funny that Windows 7 in the office picked him up very quickly, but Sansan decided to be a bit silly and not want to talk to Kuro until I forced him to. Now they’re playing nicer.
I need to get him a new pair of headsets though. His current ones are good but not of the form I like. I’m looking for a Kanen headset- it’s a China brand but made exceptionally well.
Now to load up some audio books too. :3
*Haven’t decided on the name. Still waffling between Sansan, Sansa, Morpheus and Teleute.

[Copywriter's Chronicles] Toyota, take me home
Feb 1st
So, as usual, our aircon dies. But apparently the guy’s not supposed to be here, so… why in the world is our aircon dead again? It’s nice to know though, that colleagues will stick with us through thick and thin. Here’s a little ditty Ian composed for the occasion (inspired by Deruru’s Country Home Pic):
Toyota, take me home,
To the place, where there is air,
It’s freaking hot here, my ass is wet,
Toyota, take me home…
Wordsmith with a penchant for writing wonderfully whimsical words.
