the mysterious probe number ‘4′

When I first purchased a thermal measuring device for my workplace’s lab, one of our technicians, Milkboy, had a hard time understanding its functions. So, being a nice person I always am, I helped him up by giving him a thorough tutorial on how to operate the damn thing … and even went to the extend of labelling each of its 4 probes with numbered tags - all for his convenience.

It was all supposedly ok for him until one afternoon, when he came to me with this perplexed look…

“Mike, I don’t get it. The probes, they’re damn confusing.”

“What about it?”

“I couldn’t seem to find probe number 4.”

“Is it missing or something?”

“No no … there are indeed 4 probes, but I can only figure out 3 of them… the 4th one, I don’t know what is it for…”

“What?” I was very confused.

“You labeled the probes for me, remember? I can only find probe number ‘1′, ‘2′ and ‘3′. There’s no probe number ‘4′. The 4th one was labeled as a really weird looking ‘F’… I don’t know what’s the ‘F’ probe doing there…”

It’s indeed weird. As far as I can remember, I’ve never labeled any probe as a ‘weird looking F’. So, being curious myself, I dragged that technician along to check the odd probe out… and here’s what I saw:

I immediately knew what the problem was… and confronted him

“Friend, you saw 4 probes. 3 of the probes are labeled ‘1′, ‘2′ and ‘3′ respectively… but the 4th one, you think it’s labeled as a ‘WEIRD LOOKING F’ instead of number ‘4′… right?”

“Yes, that’s right”

“Can you please fucking tilt your head 90 degrees to the right and look again?”

call it right

I went for a banana-leaf dinner with Emily just the other day, an Indian kid was the server. From what I observed about him, he’s around 15 - 16 years old.

And so he was tossing rice onto our leaves, while I turned my attention to a TV situated behind me. Then suddenly, he called out for me

“Uncle… ”

I didn’t respond…

“Uncle?”

I turned to look at him, my head thinking “Le mah puuuuuuki, what the fuckkkkkkk????”

“Uncle…”

I continued to look at him, the sting ran deep inside my wounded heart…

“Uncle lu mau XXXXX ke?” (XXXXX was the name of that bitter sweet orange peel dish of somekind, I was too agitated to register that name at the time)

He clearly ain’t getting it. Maa fuck. I felt like jamming that can of papadum up his ass… but I suppressed myself from doing so. That’s because I still have my senses. The damage has been done, there’s nothing can be done to bring back my innocence… cheeebyee!! But I’ll have to stop him from defiling my profile any further…

“Ok ok ok taruk taruk taruk”

No more ‘uncles’ after that. Fucking clueless kid, he ought to be made to study 3 grades lower for another dozen of years…

Kids, next time, before you even think of addressing anyone your senior, make sure you adhere the ‘Universal Code of Address’, else you’re gonna fuck your future up real bad. Here’s some of the important ones…

the mosquito and the serpent

its version of the story:

“I was chillin’ out at this uber nice wet-cave-of-supreme-coolnezzzzz, minding my own bizzness, when I heard a loud thundering noizzzzze of something ripping apart. It sounded like some metal teeth grinding each other. I wazz scared of courzzzzze!

I tried to turn my head azzz far back azzz I could, to check what’zzz going on… and saw thiz colossal mouth with metal teeth gaping out wide in front of the cave entranzzze! Just as I wazzz about to freak the living shit out of myzzzelf and had a heart attack, the big-mouthed monzzzzter stuck out it’zz big ugly tongue, which happened to be a scale-less fat serpent of somekind, making a partial entry into the cave!

That wazzz when I yelled ‘motherfucking hell!’ and started to flap my wingzzz azz hard azz I could, hoping to use my size azz the advantage to slip out of the giant’zzz reign of terror. And when I flew acrozz the fat serpent, I managed to catch a glimpse of it’zz ugly head - it hazz no eyezz, completely bald, a bit wrinkled and hazz a puckering mouth to go with it.

Just as I wazz wondering what on the mother of fucking earth thizz goddamn fugly creature izzz, the serpent started to violently puke a torrent of stinkin’ yellow tranzzlucent liquid, shooting at the cave, and then moved towardzzz me! I of courze flapped like a mad mozzie on drugzz gettin’ my ass outta there! almozzt uzing up all my microorganizm feeding yearzz of energy, juzzt to narrowly ezzcape that dreadful puke of death.

But that wazzn’t the end of the terror, the serpent, having failed to drown me with hizz puke, suddenly lunged up of itz position to take a bite at me… so fazzt that it wazz streaking up an illuzion of mid-air-suspended yellow lucid venom in the process… GODDAMN!

Fortunately, I managed to take drop wing maneuver that uncle Louie taught me when I wazz a little mozzie, and I escaped the second attack unscathed, leaving the curzed place… never looking back.

I swear on losing my proboscis that I’ll never hang out at cool cavezz ever again…”

his version of the story:

“I was late for lunch and I needed a quick piss. So I got in front of this nearest urinal I could find, unzipped frantically and whipped out my prick to flush out my bloated bladder. Just as that extension of my bodily organ flails into the air space of the porcelain niche, suddenly, a mosquito appeared inside the urinal out of nowhere and began to head towards my dick’s direction.

I panicked of course, them goddamn mosquitoes have viruses! and I don’t want to end up inside the hospital diagnosed with malaria from a mosquito bite up on my dickhead! So, that little terrorist bastard has got to be stopped. Having no zapper or whatsoever convenient weapon at hand, I tried to drown the goddamn insect by shooting it with my piss.

But that proved to be a difficult task, having to man-hold that mega horsepower torque turret to shoot a weeny insect no bigger than a cat teat. That bloodsucker was lucky that day to have escaped some serious ammonia poisoning. Sensing danger, the mosquito then darted towards my pubic region, probably hoping to seek temporary refuge in the lush thicket of hairs there.

That ambitious little fucker.

Of course I wouldn’t let that happen. I still have a last resort up my sleeve that I can use - I tried to dickslap it, which I shamefully missed (hey, try biffing up a termite with a bulldozer, you’ll get my predicament)… and spilled piss all over in the process, creating an unintended mess around the urinal. GODDAMN!

But that was enough to scare that filthy mosquito away, leaving me back to my unfinished business. *heaves sigh of relief*

Man they should fog the toilet every now and then… there are some dangerous shits in there! ”

moral of the stories:
Listen to one side, you’ll get a story. Listen to both sides, you’ll get the truth.

something strange in my room

Do you people believe in ghosts?

Well I don’t… but something happened to me last night that made me kinda confused..

You see, Emily returned to her hometown yesterday and I was all alone. I went drinking with my friends and got home at about 1am. I then watched some TV and slept at around 2 - 3am.

But in between 3am - 5am, I was crudely awakened by some noise. It was a scratching sound. Something like a jagged fingernail scratching on my pillow… and it was right in front of where I was facing.

I then opened my eyes, and I saw slight movement on the surface of my pillow, as if somebody was repeatedly tucking it from the side. The scratching sound stopped as soon as I opened my eyes long enough.

Unsuspecting of anything, I went back into my sleep. As soon as I close my eyes back for about 10 - 20 seconds, the scratching started again. And I can feel the movement on my pillow - SOMEBODY WAS INDEED SCRATCHING MY PILLOW!

I sat right up to look around, lest it’s a burglar or something… and checked the pillow to see if I can make up any senses out of the mysterious scratching. Somehow at that groggy state of mind, it didn’t occur to me that it could be something paranormal… and I was looking for a velcro patch which might have produced the same noise… or perhaps a curious rodent who thinks my pillow is itchy…

I didn’t find anything and went back to sleep… still, unsuspecting of anything. But when I came to my senses this morning, only then I realized what had happened last night. I told my mom what happened, and she went to consult some religious medium about it.

After checking with the moon, stars and some cosmic force of unknown awesomeness, the religious medium managed to find out… that there was indeed something ‘dirty’ in my room last night. No it wasn’t a Norwegian stripper (not that kind of ‘dirty’). It’s a FUCKING GHOST! Apparently, some stray spirits took liking of me and followed me home, and that scratching that I heard? It was the boogeyman. Or woman. I don’t know.

Supposedly, the medium had activated a spell that SHOULD repel the ‘thing’ away - but he issued me a caution, asking me to be alert in case there’s anymore strange things that may happen tonight… and feedback to him if there’s any.

o_O

I am now in a fucking dilemma as I’m typing this. I told Charles on MSN a moment ago, that I finally understand how my friend Luis felt, when we abandoned him in a haunted hotel room at Singapore a few years ago…

Goddamn!

I hope it’s not going to be a very long night tonight…

Subject: Falun Gong versus Feng Shui

Dear Editor
No one can’t stop a feng shui movement in the world but maybe Falun Gong comunity can do it ?
Falun Gong Comunity does not combine to Feng Shui method (Flying Star and other), Falun Gong answer me :
Simple think you must read Zhuan Falun book, Falun Gong & others book, than, harmony nature “yes”, but what ever feng shui method “no”

By the way, for your information, Falun Gong is efficient itself as it will help you, at the beginning, eliminate bad qi while obtaining good qi from the universe while doing the exercises. Hence, no need for Feng Shui or any other methods.

Master (Li Hongzhi) has also stated that Feng Shui only works in China and some surrounding areas, not in other geographical locations as it was originally designed only for those locations long time ago.

[URL removed]

I think, it is may deep impact for all feng shui comunity in the world, maybe is it make head line news? I think you may clarification for Falun Gong state then publish for every one to know why.
Would you like to feed back me, thank you

I wanted to “feed back” him alright… and I sent him that “feed back”…
