About 6 months ago I wrote about cagu (in-grown toe nail), I got rid of it with the help of Dr wong. For 6 months I lived a pain free existence, I though cagu has been dealth with forever...I was wrong, cagu came back with a vengence and jab me where it hurts most. I battled it for almost a week before I decided to get Dr Wong for help again.
It came back one morning when I felt an irritating pain at my left big toe. Red and slightly swelling...to my horror..."could this be cagu?" I asked. Then as time passed, I let it fester and there was a slight pus discharged and I was battling it with "betadine". Pus stopped but the irritation was there. Fought it for a week and I though to myself, "this cannot go on, it would ruin my weekly futsal big time if it gets worst". To the good doctor I went.
"Hmmmm, your shoes too tight ah?" the good doctor asked. "Is there any permanent fix to this doctor?". "Hmmm maybe we take the entire toe nail out." he said. Cold shivers went down my spine, "No, just do the partial removal thing OK." I fear the agonizing pain of losing the entire toe nail...no way was I going for it.
"Ok, lie down and I'll get on with it". Jabbed me and took out cagu. Now walking with a bandaged toe. So much relieved. Damn cagu, cost RM80 to pot it!!
Die cagu, die! die!. Capt says Au Revoir.

EPL 2009/10
4 weeks have passed for the Barclays Premier League 2009/10 and I'm happy coz Spurs has 4 wins out of 4 game. Yaaayyy. They trashed Liverpool, Hull, West Ham and Birmingham...hoowah. Next they face MU, without the faggoty drama king Ronaldo I'm hoping they lose. At the rate Spurs is playing I'm rooting for them to be in the top 4 this season.
Spurs bring me points for the fantasy football, ka ching ching. Capt says Au Revoir.

Jinx is at the corner!
I walked past Nani's room and there was a burst of laughter. "Capt Jack Capt Jack", Nani called. I saw Master Chief "Tut" with her. That figures, 2 siaw siaw "char bor" how not to heboh laughing. Nani ask me if I've heared of this superstition. "Chinese believe that if you borrow a sanitary pad from a friend you need to pay money one ah?" she asked. "Really? That's the first for me." I said. Laughter burst out again.
"Ya ya, in my old office you need to pay 5 cents" she continued. "5 cents for a pad, bugger I would ask you for 1 dollar. What is the significance?" I replied. Shoulders shrugged...I got no rational respond for my question. I brush it off as superstition. Laughter burst out again..."Sorry ah...no 5 cents" Nani said.
Which reminds me there was once in Singapore, I stayed with my colleagues (guys & girls) in a rented place. So when it come to doing your laundry at the washing machine we had to schedule different days for different people. My colleague mentioned his wife told him that he cannot was his cloths with her panties..."Suay" it seems. He seems to believe it. Do panties have some invisible power in them that would jinx you?...that seems to be the case. If this is true then most guys sure "Suay" kow kow...why...oral sex muh. Which guy never done this. So...transfer of "suay" power directly into the mouth...how to undo the "suay"?...mandi bunga? Wah ka ka ka ka.
Superstition is for the irrational weak minded folks. Go to school, get degree...still superstitious. There is no such thing as luck, "suay" taifu etc. It's all in the mind. Here are some superstition I googled:-
- Never praise a newborn baby because it will invite ghost or evil spirits. So if we curse a newborn baby, will angels come?
- A baby with wide thick ears will live prosperously? A baby with big dick?...bonks a lot?
-Never marry someone who is 3 to 6 years yourger or older? Screw this...if Megan Fox is willing I'll marry her.
- If a dog howls continuously at night it means death. True...I'll kill the bloody dog.
- Never point at the moon or yours ears might get chopped off. Shit...if I point at the sun...my finger gets burnt?
- Wearing a moustache is considered bad luck. Does this apply to my Indian guy friends?
Step on a crack and break your mother's back. Capt says Au Revoir.

1 week old
It was an uneventful Thursday...had two meetings, the first was with IT the second one was with a "kepala concrete" fella. So "concrete" is his kepala that it took ages to get thru to him. Anyway, after the meeting I ventured to the "South Sea"...there lies the Kraken called "Amma". I would normally go there to teased "Tullu" kow kow & I get all charged up for work. But one need to be watchful as the kraken lurks there. I encountered the Kraken Amma last evening, she sooo sayang my fren "Tullu"...gave her "Psyllium Husk" to consume. It's suppose to detox and help relieve constipation. Tullu if you are reading this...you full of toxin ah?
Anyway, I was there talking with Tullu and in came "G-001"...she was walking a lil funny. Wassup!! we asked. "I cannot poo poo lah...1 week oredi" said G-001. FUYOH... 1 week. That is something. "Got see doctor ah" I asked. "Got, Doc gave me Senocot to help" was the reply. Next G-001 was jumping up and down, I think G-001 was thinking gravity might help do the trick...like lah that's going to help you poo. "Eat more fruits like prunes " I said. G-oo1 mentioned that once she had to get her mother to help her when she had constipation as it only came out halfway. "Halfway?? How did your mum help? Did she yanked it out for you?" I asked...ewww...I try not to imagine.
"Whatever you do, don't you fart...1 week of accummulated poo can be a killer...play far far if you wanna fart" I said. Hmmm...it got me thinking...if G-001 were to go to the toilet now will there be a "toommm" (sound of a hard piece of cement hitting water) and wet ceiling (air terpecik la). Moral of the story is drink lotz of H2O, eat plenty of fruits and exercise. Tullu give her some of your Psyllium Husk lah.
What is the sound of silence? Capt says Au Revoir.

Fool of a chinak
23 June 1800Hrs...somewhere in PJ
I was going to get a haircut, pegi my regular place tapi tutup. Since I hate my rambut to be sooo lebat I decided to go to the next shop...indian barber. Reminds me of my school days where I'm a regular to this indian barber in Brickfields. It brought back fond memories when I was a kid...some things shouldn't change. I was motioned to sit and I told the barber potong "petak". I like the "flat-top" haircut, macam the "Streetfighter" character "Guile"...only I'm more handsome lah.
The barber knew I was new in his kedai started small talk with me...more like trying to secure future business from me. "Dulu mana pegi potong rambut?" ask indian barber, "Mana mana pun ada, tak pegi satu tempat saja" I replied. "Lain kali mari sini potong lah" he responded. I simply nodded...don't like the idea of being hassled. But I got to hand it to you he took his time cutting my hair, I like that...and constantly asked me "boleh kah"...waahh customer service...he sure earned himself some brownie points. While he was working on my hair some customers walked in. I noticed an old chinese uncle about 60+ years walked in and sat down waiting for his turn.
I think he wanted to dye his hair black because he was holding this hair dye in his hand which was handed to him by the shop's "taukay barber". I was about finished and couldn't help listening to the conversation he had with "taukay barber". In his typical "chinak" accent he asked "Ini (the dye) bagus ah...siapa jual punya?". "Ada supplier india mari sini bagi supply" said taukay in his thick indian accent. To my horror the chinak replied "Ada baguskah...orang india pandai tipu"...how could you say such things you dumb uncle. I would expect you to be wiser at such an age, furthermore you say such things in an indian barber shop? Suddenly, I felt so embarrassed to be there as a fellow chinaman kin of mine made such an insensitive remark.
Well "taukay" wasn't pleased either, he remarked "Semua orang pun boleh tipu, bukan india saja. Awak kena tipu sebab awak bagi dia tipu...ape". Made sense lah what "taukay" said. The uncle just sat dowm smiling, good thing he shut-up. The dude who cut my hair wasn't too pleased either with that remark. I gave him RM50 and it was taking sooo long to get my change. In this time and age, we can still be insensitive about other races. It's understandable for an old uncle to still harbour some racist mentality...but it's sad...some things should change. I just hope the younger & future generation would be different. I got my change and "cabut"...play futsal.
Don't take too big a bite when eating the punani pie, else it's going to taste like shit. Capt says Au Revoir.

Sucker!!!
Funnily Tesco Puchong seems to be the place that is frequently mentioned on my blog. You don't just food there you get ideas to write too...hah. I was there last week, bought fish...suddenly "mengidam nak makan ikan". Got 2 pieces of "ikan tongsan" and to my surprise it was selling for RM1.88...cheap. So I bought another 2 pieces of "ikan senangin" and this totaled to RM5.45. Not bad I thought to myself 4 peices of "ikan" for less than RM10.
Next I made my way to get the "perencah kari asam Brahim's"...yup I wanna eat asam fish curry lah. Next on my list brinjal and tomato. Manage to get both and looked fresh too but...FUYOH the line to weigh your vege is soooo panjang...until "Chisel Stone" (Batu Pahat...la). What to do, "beratur" lor like everyone else. As, I was nearing my turn, I looked down and saw this two innocent eyes looking up at me. It was a kid about 8-9 years old. In his hand was just a bag of beans and he asked me in mandarin if he could queue in front of me...I looked back at the line it was until 'Singapore" now. I motioned him to stand in front of me out of pity...yes I know I was unfair to the rest of the people in the queue. But how could you say "No" to those eyes...kinda remind me of "Puss in Boots from Shrek 2"...you know what I mean.
So came to this little kid's turn to weight his bag of bean, he turn at the other direction and called out to his brother and along with their maid they brought a ton of stuff to weigh. "Punani of Punani" kena "Kantoi". So freaking thick skin and they work with flawless precision. They must have done this before...and I was the "sucker" for that day. I dare not turn and look at the crowd behind me, I was unfair to them and now a sucker, I felt sooo small. Then came my turn, quickly weigh my brinjal and tomato...and got outta there. You win this time kid, the Capt never forgets.
