out of body experience

The topic ‘out of body experience’ has baffled scientists for centuries. The lack of reliable scientific evidence makes most skeptics dismiss it as pure superstition, but for me, I have encountered it fuckloads of times :

- When I was stuck in a traffic jam for 2.5 hours, hungry, thirsty and depressed, only to realize that I had just progressed 5% of the 145 km journey.

- When I was in the 30 over km (to-fro) Penang Bridge run. Right at the moment after I had exerted almost all of my future offspring creation energy running my hearts out, I witnessed before my eyes that I still had to do the return run (15 km +)

- When the asshole in my workplace whom I despised almost all my working life got a promotion for not doing anything at all, while I was reprimanded for being such an aggressive asshole (and got the job done).

- When the computer locked up and BSOD-ed on me, when I was working on something fucking important for almost the WHOLE DAY and was too-engrossed-to-save the file I was working on.

- When the character in an RPG game I was using kept getting whooped by lame ass villains despite using the right and timely countermeasure to fend off the attacks.

- When I was out of something to puke and started to puke green slime after a night of adventurous drinking.

- Whenever I see douchebags (you know, stupid hairstyle, dyed with unnatural colors, Mr. T fat jewelries, stained teeth with gaps, etc) driving an expensive car and acting like a total jerk off.

- When I saw a fugly, attention seeking doraemon wannabe with big giant hair smirking across an expensive double paged ad in New York Times over some trivial achievement that no one gives a fuck about, just around the time when some fucktard announced that we’re going bankrupt if we do not wean off the subsidies.

Out of body experience man. Totally.

Regine turns 4

My daughter sleeps early, I don’t. My wife and I would usually tuck her to sleep, and then I’d leave the room to go about my business…
Yesterday, when I was about to leave the room,

Regine: “Daddy, are you going to sleep now, together with me?”

Me: “No, I’m not.”

Regine: “Why, daddy?”

Me: “Because I still have something to do.”

Regine: “Do what?”

Me: “Something.”

Regine: “Why?”

Me: “Because I have to.”

She has already reached the dreaded ‘why’ age, and would ask ‘why’ until the cure for cancer is found. But I discovered an effective solution yesterday – if you reply her ‘why’ question with the same answer as the original one, her mind would be tricked to go into a perpetual loop and call off the intention to ask more ‘whys’.

She’s about to turn 4 in a few days, and she makes everything better for me.

unscheduled

Remember the time I ranted about a shapeshifter who paid my family an unscheduled visit, and totally ruined my day in the weekend? Well, she’s back again, that housewife. She’s actually a neighbor who lives in the same apartment block.

Yesterday, she paid us an unscheduled visit again. It was during our dinner time. She and her psychotic daughter appeared all of a sudden on our doorstep and severely disrupted our evening. It was a very bad timing, as my wife was still in her office attire and she was ‘stuck’ with that shapeshifter (who wanted to talk), unable to go for her shower. My daughter on the other hand, had to accompany that neighbor’s psycho kid because if she doesn’t, the neighbor’s psycho kid is gonna scream like she is witnessing a school bus running over her dad. I had to hide myself in the study room with the computer, because that’s the only thing I could do, other than the option of yelling at those annoying people, which is not really a nice thing to do.

So how long did they stay? For almost an hour. Our daily routine allows us only 4 hours to be at home together before bedtime everyday, and that includes the time needed to take our shower and dinner. So the shapeshifter bitch came and wasted 25% of our precious time yesterday, just like that. Her excuse? Her psychotic daughter won’t stop screaming about wanting to play with my daughter and she had to give in to the little psycho’s demand. I was like, what the fuck?? This is a bloody rape. She’s quelling her psychotic daughter’s rebellion at the expense of my family’s privacy?? Pukimak betuih! I wonder what is she going to do if her daughter wants a nuclear weapon…

I am thinking, what makes that shapeshifter assume that it is cool to pay anyone an unscheduled visit… Mental retardation? Or being loony? You know, she could be overwhelmed with boredom and for having slugs in her garden as friends… The sight of someone familiar to her could make her become psychotic (yeah, just like her daughter) and go around to harass people. Any person with a functional brain knows, that it is never cool to pay anyone an unscheduled visit. The only time that is cool to pay anyone an unscheduled visit – is when an alien descended upon Earth and wants to marry your albino twin daughters, and you’re making impromptu invitations. Otherwise, it’ll just be plain inconsiderate, contemptible and fucking crazy.

Man I sometimes wish I can be an irrational mean fuck and scream these people away. Being civilized is sure hard.
