Familiar Miri buildings explode

Haha got you guys there for a moment there didn't I? To those from MC.net you will realise those buildings look like SMK Chung Hua Miri's school blocks.

To avoid controversy, I shall quote the creator's description:

Three Chinese Nuclear Canons (from CNC Generals) destroy MY SCHOOL!

The main reason I made this animation was not to create controversy. I was taking the easy way out. I had previously constructed these structures for SMK Chung Hua Miri's concert night opening intro.

Instead of remodelling entire structures just for this short animation, I just changed the color of the roof to red and modified their arrangements so that they don't look like my school.

But sharp-eyed individuals may see notice the geometry of the buildings somewhat match SMK Chung Hua's buildings.

Then again, most of the school building designs in Miri look similiar. So, interpret it however you like.

Just know that I have no grudge against my school and I enjoyed my time being there. So actually blowing up my school is never going to be on my to-do list.

Haha, silly creator.

Indomie vs Ibumie

Ever tried looking for Indomie only to find that Ibumie is the only product on the shelves?

Perhaps you feel that Ibumie is a pirated product that is leeching off the success of Indomie. Not only are the packaging similiar in appearance, the taste is exactly the same.

COPYCAT! PIRATIST! You may yell. This Kuchingite definitely did.



Original Indomie packaging. Borrowed from a site which discusses about being fat. (seriously)



And Ibumie packaging. Borrowed from the miffed Kuchingite's weblog.

There's a pretty good explanation to this piracy.

They are by the same company.

(Corbis image added to increase dramatic tension)

Both noodles are distributed by Biz-Allianz and Ibumie apparently decided to buy the Indomie name.

So. Unnecessary research aside, eat well knowing that Ibumie isn't a cheap knock-off of Indomie, but, its spiritual successor.

Please Come Again

I heard this being uttered one day in a mall. The guy sounded so desperate it was funny.

You can't help but imagine around you a crumbling and delapidated mall with cobwebs and aging texture effects applied.

Fortunately this wasn't the case as I was in Pavillion, Bukit Bintang.

Please come again.

Hearing myself read it aloud just now suddenly made me feel that it souded rude. RUDE! I'LL GO TO ANY MALL I VERY DAMN WELL PLEASE. I DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK HERE TO YOUR WHINING.

And here's a random picture from ICanHazCheezburger:
