It’s just that I’ve been swamped with things to do, especially at a time where I’ll be taking the biggest step in my life…

No I’m not coming out of the closet …. kanasai.

Well, the 2 biggest steps actually. Let’s just say one involves a ring and the other involves renovation.

Of course this doesn’t mean that I’ll be closing down jaythean.com for good.

It’s just that I’ll be posting less often from now until some time in June. Once June comes and everything’s out of the way, you can expect K a n a s a i to resume full operation~!

To all you loyal jaythean.com readers out there, I thank you for your erhm … loyalty.

Do continue checking in … you never know when I might make that next kanasai observation ….

Kanasai~!

… a place like Hospital Kuala Lumpur …. 

starts offering  …. 

Escort Services…

From 7pm all the way to the wee hours of the morning.

Erhmm ….. how in the world was this sign ever approved?

Kanasai~!!

So here goes …. I’ve upgraded from pictures of 4 ugly guys …

to a video of 4 ugly guys~! WoohOoo

Yup …. the same ugly guys who call themselves Inverted Coma.

That’s the video recording of the interview …. the full article can be read over here …

 http://voize.my/music/vima-2010inverted-coma

We knew something was up when this gal from Voize started asking us funny funny questions and recording us with her phone.

We thought she was just a loyal Inverted Coma fan who wanted to well …. ask us funny funny questions and record us with her phone.

But seriously now, Charlene was great for she put us at ease during the whole interview. So cheers to her and cheers to Voize.

Oh yeah ….. and if you want to hear these guys on radio, do tune in to FlyFM this Sunday (10th January) at 7pm.

For Hunny Madu will be asking us funny funny questions on air and then playing ‘The Nudist Song’ …..

Kanasai~!

And it’s time to take a look at the year that was ….

I do admit …. it’s been a rather slow year here at jaythean.com.

Kanasai …

The fact is, Kuala Lumpur isn’t exactly thriving with kanasai things to talk about as compared to Terengganu.

In retrospect, I guess the more interesting things I touched about KL in 2009 were  …..

The Kanasai Guide To Driving In KL …. 

Or the Flasher in the Carpark thingy …..

Cause I found it highly interesting that Mid Valley car park systems had this thing here ….

So what …. are we supposed to like flash here ? Right now? Like this ?

G2000 too landed a mention in July 2009. I mean ….. 

They’ve got this tagline that says For Those Who Work ….. 

But tell me now ….. does that dude up there look like he wants to work to you? Kanasai….

Not to mention the other day when I came across this sign ….

 And right beneath that sign I saw this ….

 Way to go Malaysians~! Prove to the world once again why we still have 3rd world mentality …

Of course …… My disputable language category had its fair share of kanasainess as well …. 

Like this ‘Paking Lot‘ I came across near the Pekeliling flats ….

Or the googles I came across in the wards …. 

And me being a movie buff, movies weren’t spared the kanasainess either …

Like when I reviewed current movie stinkers in antipication of good movies ….

Or when I tore up New Moon cause there was a

Flour faced dude…..

… a really annoying gal who runs everytime she leaves her truck …. kanasai … 

… and a whole bunch of ugly half naked guys who ran around shirtless for the entire move …

And speaking of nudity …… there was a whole lot of nudity in 2009 here no ? 

For 2009 was the year Inverted Coma  decided to take the next logical step in its career path …

…. erhm ….. no we didn’t disband …..

We got our songs on the FlyFM and thanks to loyal jaythean.com readers and good friends, we made it as far as number 5 on the FlyFM Campur Chart for the single ‘Miracles‘.

On top of that we launched our second single the Nudist Song a few weeks after that, a single which we reckon will take us somewhere in 2010. Just you wait and see.

2009 also saw us being nominated for the VIMA awards in the ‘best rock song’ and ‘best guitar goreng riff’ categories. Just click on the link above and you’ll know what I’m talking about …

So while 2009 was a rather quiet year here at jaythean.com, I’m gonna tell you straight up that well ….

2010 might just be another boring one…..

I’m not very good at promoting my own blog am I ?

Nah I’m just kidding, 2010’s gonna be filled with more exciting things and I kid you not ….

For it’s gonna be the year where:

1.  I’ll be taking the biggest step that will forever change my life

2. Inverted Coma’s gonna go all out (think album and loads of gigs and shows)

3. I might just be heading for a career change (which means more kanasai observations in new company or wherever I end up)

4. The kanasainess is gonna come pouring in as I step up observations of kanasainess in Kuala Lumpur.

So I officially bid 2009 goodbye and formally invite 2010 into the realm of kanasainess …

Here’s to a great year ahead~!!

Okay so as the banner says, VIMA actually stands for Voice Independent Music Awards. If you head on over to Voize.my, you’ll find that Voize is actually an Asian lifestyle and entertainment website, focusing on indie music and social projects.

And they hold music awards annually.

And Inverted Coma was nominated . In 2 categories…..

Our first single ‘Miracles’ was nominated in the ‘Best Rock Song’ category

While ‘Nudist Song’ was nominated in the ‘Best Guitar Goreng Riff’ category

So as always I call upon shamelessly for help from you loyal jaythean.com readers. And that’s to head on over to voize.my/awards.php. choose the categories above and even if you think we suck, do vote for us.

You can vote for us not only once, but as many times as you want. No time-consuming registration required.

In fact if you find yourself with nothing to do one day, why not dedicate the whole day to clicking and voting for us over and over again?They say mouse clicking is a form of exercise.

Now go on over to Voize.my/awards.php and vote~!

A reminder that our music can be heard over at our Inverted Coma Facebook profile.

Or if you want the mp3 files of our songs, drop me a line. I’ll send you the songs and might just be the first person in music history to go to jail for pirating his own music.

Kanasai~!!

For I found the entire movie had absolutely no plot and storyline. And yet young girls around the planet are lapping it up. And there were about a hundred and two things wrong with the whole film.

Like the fact that Edward Cullen looks like he dipped his face in a bowl of flour and forgot to wash it off. I mean, what a waste of flour man. Sure he’s supposed to be a vampire and all but like erhm …. don’t vampires feed on blood?

Maybe he went for BTN and got fed on by all the mosquitoes in the jungles of Pahang, resulting in severe anemia … 

Not only that, in the movie, he’s got the personality depth of a giant rock…..

He mumbles, speaks in a monotone and is like …. the perfect boyfriend for all girls alike …. For in the course of 2 hours, I watched him :

• Dump the girl high and dry
• Leave the girl in a jungle alone at night (maybe he wants her to be bitten by mosquitoes as well to achieve his complexion)
• Appear in her dreams
• Induce schizophrenia in her by making her see images of him in broad daylight … and he didn’t leave her any anti psychotic pills …
• Entrust her safety onto another monster … namely a werewolf
• Make her drive recklessly halfway across the country in a yellow Porsche to stop him from showing his naked anemic body to the public
• And after all the pain he put her through, still manages to get the girl to sacrifice her life for him ….

Yup. Defnitely every girl’s ‘dream guy’. Heck no … I think he’s every guy’s ‘dream guy’. If he can do it and still get the girl crawling back to him, so can all of us. 

The next issue I really need to get out of my system is …. why the bloody hell is everyone half naked in the film? 

I’ve never seen so many naked buffed up men since the movie 300 …. and even then they were at least trying to cover up their torsos with whatever little cloth the Spartan government could afford them at that time …

But it really bugs me. Like when the time Jacob sneaked into Bella’s garden and spoke to her at her balcony. And he wasn’t wearing any shirt. Isn’t that creepy to the max?

I tell you arr….. if you were a girl, and you saw a shirtless guy in your garden from your balcony… wouldn’t you like … call the police? Harmsarp guy in your garden what …. Some more his body looks like he’s been on steroids …

Not shy one meh never wear shirt? Kanasai~!

My other half had this wonderful theory that they’re werewolves, so when they shape shifted, it’d save them a whole lot on shirts that would be torn apart….

If that’s the case then answer me this my dear ….. 

This werewolf got wear trousers meh? So if they’re gonna save money on the shirts, why not don’t wear any pants as well? Levi’s jeans quite expensive leh nowadays …

And apparently in the Twilight saga, everybody runs a lot. Nobody in town has a car except for Bella who has an ugly ass pick up truck.

So we have Edward sending her back to her house, then running back to his house in the dark

Also, we have Jacob running here and there, to Bella’s house, from Bella’s house.

Why the heck is everyone running about? No money to buy transport? Bicycle not that pricey what.

See ….. even Bella runs when she leaves her truck ….. WTF

And most of all the thing that bothers me most about the film is Bella Swan herself …

Ok so Kristen Stewart is like totally hot and all ….

But that doesn’t hide the fact that her character is probably the most indecisive, fickle minded, confused, annoying and downright stupid gal I’ve ever seen ….

Cause here’s the breakdown of what she does throughout the movie ….

•  Flour faced, cold and characterless guy dumps her and leaves her to suffer painfully. What does she do? She pines for him for months
• Nice, warm, dependable new guy helps her recover and promises to wait for her. What does she do? She still pines for Mr Flour face…
• She starts seeing visions of Mr Flour Face in broad daylight. What does she do? Instead of seeing a doctor and starting on Clozapine and Risperidone, she does foolish things so that she can see more hallucinations of him. Like jumping off a cliff and following an old harmsarp guy on a joyride
• She wants the vampires to bite her so that she can be a vampire herself. So that she can be an immortal with really bad complexion and red creepy eyes.

• And most of all, after getting dumped in the most horrible manner, the minute Mr Flour Faced turns up again, she goes running back to him …..

I don’t know about you but if it were me, and Edward Cullen wanted me back, I’d give him a kick in the nads, ask him to take a hike and send him off with loads of Folic Acid ….

So at the end of the day we have a film that had no direction whatsoever, a totally clueless girl who’s dating both a vampire and a werewolf and people around the world saying it’s one of the most dramatic love stories of our time ….

Sigh …. like I said, can’t help but wonder about the future of humankind …

Kanasai~!!! 

Well … a picture of a bunch of ugly people who’re NOT nude…..

So while we’re on the topic of nudity, let’s talk about a song about nudists.

Yup the song that I said would probably not be called Nudist when it’s done.

Well, the song is done.

And it’s called The Nudist Song.

The fact is we’ve called this song that for so long now, it’s hard to imagine it being called anything else.

Don’t believe me?

Try downloading the song here ….. Inverted Coma’s The Nudist Song ….

And tell me it you don’t think of sun, sea, sand and well … nude …erhm … people … once you take a listen.

For those who can’t get enough of Inverted Coma, unlikely as that may seem, do join our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/invertedcoma.

WoohOoo. Take Everything~!!

Kanasai~!

Here’s a sign I came across the other day ….. 

As you can clearly see, it says DILARANG MEMBUANG SAMPAH 

Here’s a picture of the area surrounding that sign …..

As you can clearly see, Malaysians can’t really read…..

 Kanasai~!!

Kanasai~!

The way I see it, advertising is pretty simple and straightforward.

You want people to know about something, you put a picture of your product and some catchy tagline and you’ve got a pretty good advertisement.

Take Apple for example. 

They want you to know about their new Iphone 3GS, they put a picture of an Iphone 3GS in their ads.

And Nike? 

Those sports shoes look pretty good no? Hot at that.

But I think it’s done quite differently in Malaysia.

When they want people to know about the Monsoon Cup in Terengganu …. 

They put pictures of Mat Sallehs doing silat in their advertisements ….

Way to go Malaysia ….

*shakes head*

Sigh 

Kanasai~!
