Bryan Hong - This and That

Those colours mean anything to you? It does to me. Year 1999, I drew a cartoon doodle yellow during a class activity in my colouring book. The next day, our teacher gave us a similar exercise, and this time I coloured a person's face orange. Soon after that, I was brought to the headmistress and she blasted me for not applying the colour peach to the figure.

Well, isn't it beautiful. If you didn't know, Pulau Aur is located 67km east of Mersing. There are white sandy beaches along the coast of Pulau Aur. I spent my vacation in this tropical paradise for a week. The island is divided into two parts, on one side, there's a small town. On the other side of the island, there is a small village with a few one-room chalets which can be rented for a cheap price. My family and I stayed at THAT part.

Many things happened there. I rested myself in a hammock full of fire ants, ate sunflower seeds with my part-mat-salleh cousins, scuba dived, ate fried fish that we had just caught offshore for dinner, swam in the open sea and many more.

Into the third day of the vacation, we split into two separated parties. My parents and my brother were to trek into the jungle for 4 hours to reach the other side of the island where the town is located. The other party (which my cousins,my sister and I were in) went on a fishing trip. The fishing trip would be further out this time because my cousins were hoping to catch bigger and better fish this time.

My sister puked into the ocean while I watched fish dying in a bucket underneath my bench. My cousins were just fishing away. An hour into the boat trip, I saw a jellyfish swimming not far from the boat. I watched it for a while and felt giddy so I retreated into the cabin and took a nap.

When I woke up, it was dark. The boat had already returned to the island, and my parents with my brother were back from their journey too. We all sat at the canteen and ate the fishes we had just caught. My relatives were telling us about a very large fish they had caught while I was sleeping.

After seven days in Pulau Aur, we spent 3 days in Pulau Sibu, 4 days in Golden Sense Hotel in Pulau Penang and another 3 days in Thailand.

On 12th June 2008, millions of gamers all over the world especially Sony PlayStation 3 owners celebrates the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 - the long awaited finale of Solid Snake saga. It also marked the end of 10 years wait for Metal Gear series fans everywhere. (Including me!)

While the gamers lined up outside the outlet, the customary press conference session was held inside for members of media. The conference was joined by Mr. Kamil Othman of MSC’s Multimedia Development Corporation, Mr. Choon of TecAsia, Mr. Andy of ConsoleGame.com.my, Mr. Andrew of PLAY Interactive, Mr. Nuruddin of Games Monster and Mr. Zainal a.k.a Ninja (aha!) of Play-Beyond.net.



Just before 11:00pm, PLAY Interactive announced that the game is now ready to roll out. The wait has finally offer and from the looks of everybody that lined up that night, it was a big relief and exciting at the same time. Sh1mX finally get to obtain his game after more than 15 hours waiting in front of TecAsia.


“OMG, I GOT SNAKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” - Sh1mX. He doesn’t look tired even after 15 hours waiting on the line.

Towards the end of the event, all we can see are smiles from the gamers while clutching to their copy of MGS4.

Not my big brother, I don't have a younger brother, the other "little brother". The year 2004, while I rode my bicycle though the paths of the park, everything was fine until I hit an unseen rock at a fast speed. I was riding down a slope at the time. At the point of impact, the back wheel of my bike tilted 55 degrees upwards that caused me to fall downwards towards the front of my bike. The bicycle handle, now turned to the left, has its left edge pointing directly at me, right where my little brother was. I fell hard, impulses of pain rushed through me. A sharp pain was felt at the area, well you know where. I lied down on the ground covered with leaves for a moment, finally I mustered the strength to get up and carry my bike home. I went into the toilet, wondering if my b*lls were alright. They were. The handle missed by a few centimeters to the right where I had a nasty scrape wound.

Year 2001, I accidentally got superglue paste into my eye. As a result, my left eye was glued shut for half a day. Hot water fixed it...

Anthea(don't know if I spelled it correctly) used to be my tuition class mate in hmm, Standard 3. I used to win a lot of birthday games at the time. Andrew,me and my sister were invited to her birthday party one day. She was about 4 years younger than us, so we were the biggest kids at her party. When the games were played, small plastic chairs were used. During Musical Chairs, I broke a seat when I landed on the chair too hard. :( . I survived until the last round. Only she and I were left. Once, the music stopped, I forced myself onto the last chair pretty hard until she got knocked off and fell to the ground. Everybody gasped! She started sobbing......... So in the end she got the prize. Heheh, sorry Anthea!

Two weeks ago, I went to the barber with my shirt inside-out. I sat next to a guy who kept staring at me like some idiot. I only realized it when I was on the way home... -.-

A long time ago, when I was 5 years old..... I was so foolish. During a weekly assembly at the hall in Villa Maria, I saw a piece of tissue paper on the ground. Guess what, I ate it. I mean come on! I was just 5, and um.. yeah. Nuff said...

No offense to the real guy behind this pic, but the Bryan Ong I knew looked a bit like you. He looks just as stupid as you. Okay, Bryan Ong was this bully in my first year of kindergarten in Villa Maria. :D
He used to go in the same bus as me. He made me do all kinds of stupid things. Including doing multiplication homework at the age of 5!!! He thought me 2 multiplied by 2 and he used to boast he could carry out complexer multiplication problems. He used to give me homework that I couldn't do. Once, I even had to draw a car for him! But he complained that it had only two wheels because I drew the car sideways.

Finally, I figured that I could not let this go on any longer. The day I was deciding to report about him to my headmistress, there was a concert held at the hall. He was performing some weird dance. While he was dancing on the stage, he winked at me, innocently smiling sheepishly after that. He had no idea he was about to be expelled! No lah he was just suspended. I felt kinda guilty after he winked at me O.O. Anyway, he still got in trouble in the end.

Today....I scratched a lottery ticket....
I did not win.....

I recently found out I had a blog O.o. My last post was like what, 4 and a half years ago in 2004. Since I discovered it, I shall resume posting in it!

I don't know where to start...Maybe I won't post anything about the current happenings yet (until I feel like it). I'll just talk about many crazily random scenarios I have experienced in the past. When I'm done with them, I shall... err I don't know yet.

I'll just tell you about How I Appeared in the Newspapers. Oh! It's my one and only picture of fame. I'm sure many of you would have better happenstances like appearing on TV or something else. But this, it was an accident and as a "consequence" I was in the NEWSPAPERS!!! or rather just the back of my head...

Some time in May, around 8 in the morning in SKBB. I was Standard 1 at the time. My fellow classmates and I were in our class minding our own business when Mrs Koh, came into the class and made an announcement. She asked, "Who was the boy who did this blah blah dun remember.....asdasa?"

I didn't know why I did it, but I claimed that I was the boy she was looking for. She seemed a bit skeptical at first, but she finally decided to take me next door into another classroom. In that classroom, there were many people gathered at the back. There was a table with 3 chairs, 2 of which were occupied by other students. There were pieces of bright lego-like objects, and each of them were playing with their own sets of toys.

I didn't really know what was going on. Don't even understand what's the big deal. Shortly after I sat down on the empty seat, the newspaper crew started snapping photos of the three of us. "Great, what do I do now??!" I thought to myself. I needed to do something; anything, any sort of action because I was looking like a complete idiot sitting there idly. I reached my hand out for one of the other boy's weird-looking toy pieces and started playing it.

That guy got damn pissed and tried to take it away from me asking me to play with my own. I, of course, did not let him. A few minutes passed by and she took me back into my class. That's all. Ekekekek...

A few days later, my puzzled parents were asking wheter it was me in the article picture. It only had the back of my head so they didn't believe me. T_T
