24

Many of my friends know off my partiality towards the series 24.

And I’ve just watched the first 2 episodes of the brand spanking new season 7.

I’ve been refraining myself from watching this first few episodes till the long plane trip back to Malaysia, and then the few hours spent in the terminal waiting for the flight to Singapore.

I spent the night with a jumbo pizza from Antonios, a bottle of coke and my dear sister watching episode one and two.

Seriously, everyone should watch it.

It is far superior to the drivel they call the Gossiping Girly Heroes Who Met Your Mother’s Grey Anatomy.

The tension set up by the movie length filler aptly titled 24: Redemption that links season 6 and 7 together just set these couple of episodes up nicely. So much so I don’t even think you really need to know much about the storyline of 24 to understand it, though there’s a pretty huge twist laid out in the first episode.

Nonetheless if you must, you can read a quick summary here that describes each season in 24 words or less.

I love their description of Day 4!

24: Day 4

Coroner’s Log, Thursday

Secret Service agents, COD – Gunshot Wounds
20 Train Passengers, COD – Explosion
Thousands of Civilians, COD – Radiation Poisoning
257 terrorists, COD – Pissed off Jack Bauer

BAD ASS!

Just like Arntan’s promo videos he made for freedom camp about a good 3 months ago.

A bit late I know, but his videos were inspired by 24 and very much resembles the style. So embedded below are the videos for your viewing pleasure that are still funny, albeit late.

Episode One

Episode Two

Episode Three

Episode Four

Episode Five

But really I think it’s best to go to his channel and watch it there, it’ll probably come up better as widescreen I think… and the blooper reel is there too!

Emmm Yuuuu Emmm

Well that’s as best as I can do it without it spelling out M U M.

Apparently it’s Viet for something affectionate.

But whatever it is it can’t beat ” co-ong mu-oong angh thit cho”

That will be the only phrase I’ll need to know to survive in Vietnam, thanks to you Jessica!

I will not remind you what day it is today, nor will I explain my reason for it in an effort for this to not be a mark on the virtual world highlighting that you’re 24 today.

Thanks for playing a big big role in my life this year, probably much bigger than you realise. And certainly that most likely made you younger this year, because by averaging out our age I get older and you get younger.

But that doesn’t really matter to you, cause you got lost in the maths.

People like you deserve the full weight of my bombastic verbosity to furiously shower you with grandiose compliments, especially at such a time at this, but for some reason, at the mere thought of you, Jessica, I am speechless.

Happy Birthday.

今天是你的生日! 所以我一定需祝你生日快乐!

二十一岁了!要做个怪孩子!

我真的很感谢主我育这么好的朋友每次都听我讲费话!

我希望你命令长长…

为了我可以做一双非常厉害的耳朵.

对不起我的华语没有那么顺,不可以写一个美丽的”信”

不过我还是要在来祝你生日快乐!

Bah my chinese is terrible!

Hope this coupled with my err somewhat nearly inapprorpirate gift will more than suffice as a 21st Birthday greeting

Amy Freakhog Lee

It was her birthday yesterday.

She is now 20.

No longer a teen.

I got a special mention on her blog for reminding her about that fact on the eve of her birthday.

And because she is one of the minority that updates her blog semi-regularly among a minority of friends that blog, she deserves a whole post dedicated to her and her imaginary friend.

Her imaginary friend is red and laughs a lot.

Her imaginary friend has been embodied by a toy called TMX Elmo.

I was and still am insanely jealous of her when she received a TMX Elmo.

I remember watching leaked videos of TMX Elmo before it was released and was immediately fixated by it’s incessant laughter and ability to literally ROFL.

Would have bought one when it was released had I had the cash.

If I had bought one,  I might have been Amy’s best friend.

Well… rather she might have used me to get to TMX Elmo.

So I’m glad I didn’t get one, because I’m cooler than Elmo, and I don’t like being used.

But I doubt Amy would misuse and abuse her endearing charm to pry what may have been my TMX Elmo out of my clutches to satiate her Elmo appetite.

I sincerely do hope that Amy and I share something more than a mutual love for Elmo.

At least I think so anyway.

Sadly, I cannot love Elmo the way Amy does.

Maybe I should render my Chicken Dance Elmo to her.

I think I’ve talked more about Elmo than Amy.

Missing the point entirely.

Which is sad, cause it’s impossible to miss Amy.

Because it’s Amy Freaking Lee.

Well on my phone it’s Freakhog, because Sony Ericsson’s predictive text function generates freakhog when you type freaking.

And Amy just got a spanking new Sony Ericsson for her birthday.

Oh yes, I forgot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY LEE!
