Telling It Like It Shits

Currently writing a book (for someone else) that involves a lot of predicting. I can't say much because I am not supposed to. But this book tells you things about yourself, your personality, your life and tells you what's going to happen in the future and what you should do. If you're thinking 'feng shui', you're only 30% correct but on the right path. Anyway, as I am writing, I am finding it a little bit difficult to erm...like, tell the people the bad news. For example, if a person's got this type of 'life', then it means 'buried on the road'. I am like ACK! How am I supposed to write this nicely without scaring the reader to bits?? I mean...is there another easy way to say this? How about there will be minor mishaps but it's not minor. Or maybe don't drive fast but it could happen even if the person drives slow, right? Or maybe....maybe something like.....erm.... I dunno. You tell me!

just write like your post title....telling it like it shits..no two ways about it cuz

BUT

off the path a bit 'ere ok? I am not one for "Books" on predictions and such...all pure bullshit to me..predictions are something like assumptions ( in a way )

I never assume, therefore I dun fucking believe in whatever anyone predicts...

Btw, ask the bugger who is so into predictions to go to this site and predict what will be next outcome:

I am posting as Blade in the 2nd site..

Let me know of his/her predictions cuz.

AND

I sorta like know you are not into this prediction thingy as well..therefore, it must be hard like hell to write about things that you do not fully believe...I believe the phrase " cari makan susah woooo" applies here right? hahahahahahaha.

Note: hope the person that you are writing for is not a reader of your blog...sorry in advance if they are...just my personal opinion only and not of Marsha's

jamie, that's the thing with writing, cuz, you can't just plonk it there like it is. People will spit into the book lah. Have to fluff it up a little one leh....so I a bit pening there. ????

The good stuff NO PROBLEM-O, the bad stuff....aisay, man.

I will try to ask the MASTER (as opposed to BUGGER :-)) to predict that. But I think he needs the date and time of birth for that kinda thing, so.... :-)

You know me well....being the skeptical shit that I am. But somehow, he's predicted many many FAR TOO MANY THINGS right about me liao. So, it's gone on to convince me a little about the theory as nonsensical as it is. So, I am like learning and writing at the same time...like, trying to debunk some of the truths, finding loopholes, and then trying to 'testdrive' with my Karen's, Damien's, Father, Mother, Husband, Maid...EVERYBODY lah punya birthdate.

Except for my kids. People say don't predict for young kids, it's not supposed to be that way wor. It drives the parents into paranoia if they know that their kids' got bad lives. so, not doing that.

but really lor, cuz. Cari makan these days REALLY susah lor....I have to agree with that lor. *big pout*

FYI cuz, a lot of people told me that it is not good to have predictions of ones future because it CHANGES as and when you know what it is...something like the spacetime continium in "Back To The Future"

I just listen to what they have to say loh....BUT I am still the skeptical shithead that I am...waaaahahahahahahahaha

jamie, getting predictions doesn't change a fate....er...according to whatever I am writing about lah. Because certain people got certain life chart. If they know what their life chart is like, they can do something to 'soften the blow' or erm....'prepare for it' but not avoid it.

therefore, they cannot change their fate.....

...er......from whatever I learnt.

but fook it all lah, rite? hee heee hee

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
