Goodbye CBOX

This has been a thing that plagues me when I started to blog again. Zombies wtf no! Here's the damn thing, bloggers do have a thing called Chatbox. It is a wonderful creation as it reduce steps to comment on people's blog. I love it. I use. I want keep it here forever like the hairs on my head (Yes, I do fear that I will go botak wtf). Here's the sad thing, in a week time, I may remove it. Sorry all my loyal readers (if I have any wtf).

The reason (no, don't go Hoobastank on me) is very simple. Too many "noise." Noise as in "idiots." Idiots as in "losers." OK, OK, I know. This can go on forever. What I really meant was PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO DIE! As in SPAMMERS wtf.

Seeing so many people posting on my cbox made me feel great. Hey, I AM FAMOUS. Until I saw the links. Screw them for destroying my 15 seconds of *cough not really cough* fame. There goes all my self-confidence wtf. My lawyers are working to get RM1mil for me wtf.



The culprits are from two particular websites. First is BLOGOBO and the other is LEPAK.MY. No way am I linking them. Go Google them yourself. Yes, that is how much I dislike those sites (I don't link them back wtf). If I can benefit superior traffics from their visits, then it is fine. I will simply accept their spams.

Best part is the fact that they tried to hide it. Pretending that they are conversing with me like nothing happen. One of these days, I'll come to haunt you at night (look for the guy with a laser pointer wtf) - refer to P.P.S. Anyway just let me blow off some steam:



Firstly DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW YOU? Yea, of course I do! Your name is "abg hero." A real life hero!!! OMG. And yes "Que," long time no see. When was it the last time we chat? I knew you 2,302,312,234,642 years ago, right? After being resurrected 54,125,235 times, we finally met again. Ah, "Elly," she is a beauty queen you know? All the way from INeverExistLand. She withdrew from Miss Universe because she is out of this universe! Geddit? Geddit? fml.

Secondly, my friends, when they visit my blog, will comment in the comment section. If not, those who posted on cbox, will at least mention what I wrote in my blog post. These spammers who comes from INeverExistLand will post stuffs like "Just make another visit" or "Like your blog, hope you like mine." Let me quote from my friend, Clement: "DO I LOOK LIKE I FUCKING CARE?"

Finally, the link. Usually, friends that comment on my cbox will not leave links or if they do, they will TYPE (OK, maybe copy paste wtf) their link! Don't you even bother giving me a shortened URL from bit.ly or adf.ly, or gofuckyourselfloving.ly. I will NEVER reply you. Seriously.

Well, that's all from me. Actually, I have no idea what to write about. So I ended up complaining again wtf. No, I am not an angry man in real life. I seem to take on a different personality online wtf. But this is a serious matter. It is even worst than your friend posting 1,000 pictures of themselves on Facebook!

Credit: to whoever drew this. Please, if you know the contributor, do inform me.

Calv out.

P.S. If you do know any benefits from receiving spams, you can tell me about it. Or at the very least, stop it from entering my cbox wtf.

P.P.S. I really do own a laser pointer thanks to Wei Lian. <3

Facebook Timeline: You tell your story

*UPDATE - What if you want to get Timeline now? Check out the steps posted by Mashable.



For sometime, people should noticed the few minor changes to their Facebook page. Some lucky (or unlucky) ones got it earlier. Thankfully, this writer got it when they did the very early stage of changes. Today, many people should be getting their updates. Not sure about that but it seems that way. Be prepared as it is just a half-update. The man in blue, Zukerberg, has a plan.



More to come and you know it. Let's start with what we know. No more separating the "Most Recent" and "Top Post" anymore. What you get is a clean timeline. And yes, soon, you will know it as Facebook Timeline. If you didn't notice another changes, here you go: there is also the Ticker.

Two of a kind

So what does all this mean? Think of the Ticker like Twitter. They sound almost the same, so you can remember their functions as well. This, according to Zukerberg, is the lightweight social activity. You will see every status updates, every comments, every share and every everything your friends do in a fast pace direction.

The Ticker on your right above the chat feature

Let's not forget that back when Facebook first started, it was all EVERYONE will know this and that. It took them long enough to realise selective sharing. Not everyone needs to know everything. You don't want your parents to find out what happened last night after clubbing do you?

Choose the story line

Not only you get to select who you want to share it with but you can tell your own story. Don't like what's going on with this post? Hide it. Think that this event highlights your best effort, star it! Technically, the new Timeline will filter out the junk on your page. Think of the new Facebook Timeline as a blog. You blog what you want and they can't find any *ahem* crap *ahem* in it.

Let the apps help guide the story

Aha, could it be a threat from apps available for Google Chrome? Did Zukerberg feel the heat? Well, that we don't know but the new Facebook comes with a more sync apps. It will sound a little confusing because Facebook apps will now broadcast to Timelines and Tickers separately.... And automatically.

Your info when you allow it

What? This is outrages!! I want my rights!!! Yes yes, calm down. Of course you can disallow these services. If you do allow it, here's how. What you like or comment will instantly appear on your Ticker. However, your Timeline, in theory, would feature a summary. Let's use an example. Let's say you like this music so much. It will appear ASAP on your Ticker. After awhile, while collecting all the music you like, the Timeline will produce a summary of that month telling people that you like Rock music.

Remember, once you approve an app, it will work from the dark. Fading itself to the background. It will collect your information like how many miles you ran with RunKeeper app or your last watched movie. You can tell that Facebook want their apps to be accepted even more now. If not, what's the use of their new Timeline? There will be no stories to tell if you don't approve any apps.

In the end..

Well, you know that people always complain that they hate the Facebook update. Right now, how will the public react to this MAJOR update. It is a big thing. Let's hope they don't disappoint 800 million Facebook users. All of these tweaks are available now to most users. You should notice a pop-up prompt that will give you a brief guide through the changes. Take note that the Ticker is the box on your right.

For those of you who want to take part in this big change, you got to get in line first. Head here to check out how will your profile look like at the end of this month. You can sign on if you want to. The first batch of Timeline will be out on 29th September in America.

I got no sole

I would like to begin by bursting your bubble wtf. No, it is not the hey-I-sold-my-soul-to-the-Devil soul. It's more of a shoe's sole. Just in case you don't get my title wtf (cue sad music).



Seriously, it happened twice. Last year and this year. I bet it will soon be an annual thing since it's two years in a row. Oh what did I do to deserve this wtf. I bet you during my past life I was, a thief. Who steals shoes fml.

Alright, back to those incidents. First one was last year during marathon. Standard Charted KL Marathon 2010. Ahh... That fateful day. With sun shining, less than three hours of sleep and overtook by a girl (Wei Lian wtf). Good times. Good times. Oops, did I type that twice? Well, that's on purpose. Again, I got sidetracked wtf.

Imagine me running for the past hour and I saw the sign, 9km. Wow, one more kilometer and I will get my SOLID metal medal (no gold, sorry wtf). Of course that motivated me to continue running *cough-walking-cough* and run I did *cough-crawling-cough* wtf. In that instance, I can hear the crowd but no finish line in sight yet. So I ran/walk/crawl harder. Really, I did.


Something like that but more severe wtf

Out of nowhere, the sole of my shoe decided to fly open. It has a mouth people!!! The angle of the mouth open would put a crocodile/snake to shame. It can fit two and half Big Mac in it. Still I will keep on running. Duh, damn beh shiok right if I stop and quit when the end is near wtf. Beh shiok means "doesn't feel good" in Hokkien btw.

Proud to say, I reach the finishing line with one side of the shoe's sole flying off. So boys and girls, lesson here is: don't wear an old Bata shoe for marathon wtf.

Alright, the second incident would be more interesting if it happened on stage wtf. Seriously I kid you not. Don't worry, it did not happen during this year's Standard Charted KL Marathon. I used Bata shoes again wtf. Less than a year old wtf. (edited: to clarify, the Bata shoe again is for the marathon. I am not so loyal to Bata until I buy their leather shoes wtf)

What was suppose to happen that didn't happen!!!!!!

Anyway, this happened on 10th April 2011. Not quite recent but it is this year wtf. For HELP University College students, I bet you know what this date means. Convocation yo! Yay, the transition from a student to a jobless person wtf. During the event, of course we have to go up on stage, bow, shake hands, grab cert, pose, and go down. Wow, so many steps. You can thank me later future HELP UC graduates wtf.

During that time, nothing went wrong, phew. It was after the convocation when we are ready for food. As I was walking towards the restaurant, my LEATHER SHOE's sole came off!!!!! And you can imagine my family's reaction. PLUS my wonderful girlfriend, Wei Lian wtf. Of course the burst of laughters were there. And thanks to the swift action from my grandma, she managed to safe my sole wtf. I am sure she framed my sole up hanging it somewhere that I can't find it. I still can't wtf.

Err, yea, grandma before ordering the frame for it. Kidding!! Or am I? wtf

I know that all of you were hoping for it to happen on stage BUT thankfully it didn't. If it did, there goes all my future prospect jobs wtf. Imagine during interview:

Interviewer: Hey, aren't you the dude who left your sole on stage? HAHAHAHA.. That was hilarious!

Me: Err.. Yea..

Interviewer: I mean, c'mon, for it to happen DURING your convo!! Can you imagine the embarrassment?

Me: Hahaha........ Yea, so unexpected....

Interviewer: I know, how can you live with yourself!! OMG, I get to tell this to my colleagues too!

Me: *gives interviewer lots of paper cuts while stabbing his eye with his pen on his desk*

Warning, graphic picture, oops too late

See, that's why I can never get a job if that happens. Thank God, only my family will remember it as "the day Calvin's sole came off" instead of "the day Calvin graduated" fml.

OK, that's all. Kthxbye.

Calv out.

Can Vs. May

This is just a very simple post.

The wrong way:
"Can I go to the toilet?"



Looked simple, right? Well then, here's what will happen if the world goes according to that statement:



The right way:
"May I go to the toilet?:



And there you go! Piss at last. (Geddit, geddit? Peace? Piss? wtf):


The simple rule here is that "Can" means the ability to do something while "May" means asking for permission. Plus, it is more polite using "May" to others.

Get it?



Yea baby! You can bow now wtf.

Sundays' the real culprit

After clicking the Astro remote control for the infinite-th time, switching between channels, I had a premonition. My holiday is going to end. Tomorrow is my last day!

The worst part is the fact that I didn't do anything productive during my holiday. My laziness can rival a pig's! After watching so many Mythbuster's episode, what had I achieve (other than being able to boast about extra stuff wtf)? This is really bad.


What are you smiling at?

Worst yet, tomorrow is Sunday! I know Garfield hate Mondays but it's a misplaced hatred! Seriously! After thinking really hard (in the toilet wtf), I came up with several conclusions!

Number one:
A lazy Sunday means a storm is about to happen on Monday. There will be no preparation for it.

Number two:
Sunday is constantly teasing people that it is a day off when it meant the LAST break of the week.

Number three:
The culprit for Monday stress is Sunday. It made us too relax so that we falter on Monday!

Number four
The calender always mark itself red on Sundays just to rub it in. We know we got work tomorrow!! Don't need a reminder.

Well, that's all so far wtf.

What? You expected more? Well, it is just a new found enemy. Let me study its moves more. Remember to punch them on their face when they wish you "Happy Sunday." They deserve it wtf.


Remember the face of the enemy wtf.

And this has got nothing to do with Christianity! God rests on Sunday, I know. It's a good day. Don't burn/nail me on a cross. It's just a worker who needs to vent on something wtf.

Calv out.
