Diary: My Coming Birthday

My birthday is coming up and my friends are planning my birthday party. To be honest I do not want to celebrate my birthday this year. Why you ask? Well one I feel so old, two I don’t have anything to celebrate about. Nope there is nothing great reaching 27. I’ve always celebrated my birthday based on my personal achievements on the past year. You could say it’s a time where I appraise myself. I check and see if I’ve reached my targets and how off I am. Last year I threw a nice party cause I managed to do all of my goals that I set. This time around I failed miserably.

Looking at my friends and what they have accomplished over the years and where they stand at my age I think I fall very short. Thus the reason why I’m down and not wanting to celebrate my birthday. Marina asked me a sensitive question for my birthday, she asked. “Mark your 27, when are you getting married? ” Like others I think I’ve been shoved into the line of expectancy of getting married. I knew that woman face some kind of pressure when their biological clock begins to do its countdown. Well I feel something just like that. Its like the society has given me a countdown to find my next bride.

Hmm.. They should make a reality TV on this. Who wants to see handsome women and men get hitched. Where is the X factor? What be great is to have a fat guy (me) on a show and weekly put him against nice young women and see how it goes. I bet you there be crowd watching it. (Crowd of disgust and curiosity, of course)

Back to real life, my department have been gearing up for my birthday and I cant weasel my way through. I’m surprised and flattered actually. I’ve been told to keep April 11 free after work to celebrate my party. My new staff Khalil who wants to take revenge on me for posting some ragging videos on ‘you tube’ and spreading it out to everyone. I believe it’s a diabolical one. All I’ve be warned is bring extra shirts and I’ll adhere to that. Nevertheless, as an Indian I’ll just say BRING IT ON! ! !

Diary: Just a Short One

My birthday is couple of weeks away and its nice to hear most of my friends planning for my birthday. This year I really don’t want to celebrate my birthday. 27, nothing really to shout about. I’ve always celebrated my birthday based on my accomplishment but this time around I don’t really think I accomplished anything. I want to mellow in my sorrow. I know you shouting drama queen. Nevertheless that’s what I want to do. Have a quiet birthday all by myself. I’ve taken a couple of days off so that no one can reach me.

I’ll be going for Kanye West Concert on the 8th April. That’s my birthday gift to myself. Shari is planning to come along with me hope her new bf (wink, wink) lets her. Can wait for the concert. I’ve got a very full week planned on the 1st week of April. I’ve also got a paintball session that I really looking forward too. The only thing that I can close to being Rambo.

I Love DiGi Adverts

You may be in whatever phone operator but you mus admit that the DiGi advert so funky fresh. It doesnt just make you laugh but at one point I bet you we at least humming to the song I will follow you. Great job to the creative house Naga DB for such a creative output.

Joke: When girls don't put out...

This was written by a guy... it's pretty damn smart. Girls -- Have a sense of humour!
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom? Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."

We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel ike it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?" I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

Diamond in the Ruff

Whoever said, “Diamonds were girl’s best friend” was definitely being ignorant. I too am an ignorant fool I never knew how a diamond comes to the market. I have seen on Discovery channel how the legitimate diamonds are mined and how it reaches the market but after watching Blood Diamond and do a little research of my own I found out 4% of diamonds in the market come from the conflict zone. Hmm you might just say its only 4% what’s the big deal rite. Well if you were to put 4% on monetary values it would be more that USD100 million. Do you know how many guns and grenades you can buy from that much of money?

Watching the movie I knew that kids were used in warfare but I wasn’t aware on how they were took from villagers and brain washed. They were duped to take drugs where their commander’s claim there can withstand bullets and even dodge them. In Africa now there is an estimate of 250,000 and growing no of children soldiers marching on for rebellion parties like RUF.

I doubt the movie will create any dent in the diamond industry but to me I don’t think I would buy any diamonds for that special one or even for myself since it’s my lucky stone. I wont be surprised if our Malaysian market has most of the conflict stones but the largest consumers of diamonds are the Americans. They say when you buy a diamond please get a certificate of authenticity claiming the diamonds are from conflict free zones. You and I know how easy it is to forge one of these certificates. If Malaysia has one of the top-notch security in our bills and still people finds ways to print counterfeit copies of our money what is a measly ol’ certificate.

To the ladies that I love and adore do you really need a diamond to get married or to be spoiled? There are other stones in the market … Feedback please
