There’s something about Miriam

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you..

Miriam!

w00t w0000ttttt…before you guys start fapping…

She’s actually a guy… 😀

Something about Miriam ended on Sunday (shown on British TV). It showed six men competing for the affections of Miriam, who they thought was a women.

Transsexual Miriam Rejected by Reality Show Winner

By Jennifer Sym, PA News

The pre-op transsexual wooed by six unsuspecting men in a controversial reality dating show is rejected by the winner in the final show tonight.

There’s Something About Miriam, broadcast on Sky One, showed six men competing for the affections of Miriam, who they thought was a women.

But the Mexican 22-year-old was born a man and, when her secret was revealed, she was called untrustworthy and deceitful by the winner, lifeguard Tom.

He initially agreed to go on the cruise, despite being mocked by the other contestants.

But he later changed his mind, saying: “I wouldn’t want to spend a week on a boat with someone I couldn’t trust, someone who’s deceived me and everybody else.”

In the final show tonight, to be broadcast at 9pm, viewers see Miriam choosing Tom over martial arts instructor Scott as the winner of ÂŁ10,000 and a week together on a luxury cruise.

Scott said before being told “I do like surprises”, and added: “I’ve met someone that I do really like. I feel more for her every time I see her. I would love to spend the week with her”.

But after she was revealed as a pre-operative transsexual, he said: “Now I don’t respect her one bit.”

Earlier in the show, viewers had seen both Tom and Scott penning love poetry to the model in their attempts to court her.

A show spokesman described the declaration as “difficult” for Miriam, who had formed close bonds with the contestants, all of whom were stunned by the news.

She said she had enjoyed Tom’s company: “

He always makes me happy, this has been a whole new experience for me. I’ve had such a great time and I would never forget this moment.”

The broadcasting of the show had initially been delayed after the six contestants threatened legal action.

They received payouts after deciding to take their case to the High Court in an attempt to ban Sky from screening the show after they only learned at the end that Miriam was not a woman.

The men received an undisclosed sum last month to drop their threat of court action.

Sky also apologised for “any upset caused” to the contestants, who made a number of allegations against Sky One and production company Brighter Pictures, including conspiracy to sexual assault, defamation, personal injury and breach of contract.

In return, Sky, which had shelved There’s Something About Miriam, pending possible legal action, was able to transmit the controversial reality show.

The show was actually done many months ago but was halted due to threat of legal law suits by the contestants. However, the men were paid a substantial amount to compansate them..

The six straight men who sued to prevent the broadcast of an UK reality show in which, unbeknownst to them, they competed for the affection of a preoperative Mexican transsexual quickly got over their claims of injury and public humiliation in return for a cash payment, clearing the way for the program to debut on UK television last evening.

The undisclosed settlement — which various reports pegged at anywhere between $150,000 and $250,000 a man — followed November 2003’s lawsuit over the previously scheduled broadcast of the series. which had been filmed earlier in the year in Ibiza.

At the end of the show, when the program had its “grand reveal” and the men found out that the “gorgeous creature” Miriam wasn’t a gorgeous female, they went bonkers. One of the men, a Royal Marine, supposedly broke down crying from the “humiliation” when the deception was revealed … and, according to reports, some of the production crew sympathized with the men’s reaction and turned on Endemol and British network BSkyB, a sister network to Fox in the U.S., which was planning to air the show.

And oh yeah..she didnt have her ‘thingie’ below removed..euww..

Excerpt from the last episode where Miriam tells the contestants that she is a man.

ulcer

Everyday I wake up hoping that my ulcer on my tongue cures. It still hurts today though. Fuck..

It’s been around since Tuesday. I tried all sorts of remedies. I tried rubbing salt on it (ooohh the feeling was ooOoOOohhh). I tried gargling salt water and it sucked. No, I haven’t tried BJ..dont get me wrong, it’s not blow job, it’s Bon Jela, a cream for curing ulcer.

And lately, it seems that loads of people are suffering from ulcer, cough and sore throat. My mum and I are victims of it. It must be the hot weather!!

On the other hand, loads of people blame it on this concept called ‘heaty’. I don’t know how to explain it in English, The word ‘heaty’ is just a direct translation from Chinese. ‘heaty’ IMHO is something like an over consumption of ‘heaty’ products on a person’s body. ‘heaty products’ can be something spicy and fried (even durians are considered heaty).

However, the ‘heaty’ concept seems to be limited on Asian culture. I have neer heard of the word ‘heaty’ from a Westerner. Do Western people have this concept called ‘heaty’? What do Westerners usually blame when they suffer from ulcers or sore throat?

Para Bombay

I was watching the 9:30pm HK drama on Astro just now and there was this scene where the main actor was involved in an accident together with his boss. Later in the hospital, the doctor said that he needed immediate blood tranfusion but his blood was Para Bombay, a rare type A blood. My immediate reaction was “wtf, is there such blood type?” Hence, i did a search on Google.

Surprisingly, Para Bombay blood type does exist. It is a rare phenotype commonly reported in Europe and Japan. However after reading the article, i still do not quite understand how can one has Para Bombay phenotype. All i know is through some mutation on H-antigen. Perhaps, someone with good knowledge on biology can explain this to me. Click on the link, if you want to know more. Happy reading. =P

I didn’t know what the hell was happening throughout the race. Car comes = people cheer, another car comes = people cheers, no car = no cheers.

There weren’t any huge screens to guide us or inform us on what is happening throughout the race. So there we were, baking under the hot sun while being irritated by insects that crawl up our feet. The enthusiasms of the people were gone by the 20th lap. Before that, everyone was screaming and cheering as the race starts.

However,

Formula 1 was great. Well worth the experience! Thank you Steph and Nik! 😀

Well, parking was a pain in the ass. The roadside was filled with cars and the nearest empty spot was miles away from the stadium. However, I found a parking deep inside a plantation. It was filled with bushes and grass. It’s somehow illegal but we had to pay RM10 to park our car there. I had to bang into some bushes and tall grass in order to park my car.

But it was worth it as it was near Sepang track.

Steph and Nik gave me 2 Hill Top tickets. I was hoping for a grand stand ticket actually haha.

Abby Lu, PS, Kiang, Hen and I sat on a grassy hill top over looking 2 corners of the track. The grand stand was far away hence we couldn’t see the start up. As the first lap goes on, everyone stood up to cheer. The piercing sound of the engine wasn’t as loud as I expected. Thank god I didn’t waste my 5 bucks to get earplug from a vendor outside the stadium. Speaking about vendor, the place was swarmed with hawkers selling drinks and food.

Our corner was well fortunate to see an engine blow up. The car was blowing smoke and the driver had to be sent back with a kapcai (low grade motorcycle).

We didn’t stay for the prize giving ceremony cause we couldn’t see a thing. Everyone was rushing out by then. Cars were stuck for hours trying to get out from the parking. I, on the other hand, left the place smoothly. Thanks to our illegal parking operator.

ATTN: My pictures looks a little bit grainy. I’ve no idea why. Further, the scanning process made it even worst..fuck..


Bad luck every Friday

Last Friday, I was summoned by the police for parking illegally in Sunway.

And this Friday, my car broke down in Sunway. The battery ran flat after I accidentally left my lights on.

So after 10 or more phone calls, nobody has a jump start cable. By then, the car park was beginning to turn dark and the mosquitoes were hunting for blood. I was unfortunately attacked by mosquitoes for half an hour.

My friends gave me different advices namely call AAM, jump start my car and also buy a new car battery.

Then Abby Lu came to the rescue! She brought me to the nearest workshop. However, we realize that both of us don’t have enough money to get a new battery.

Fortunately, one of Choon Huei’s friends has a jump start cable and within no time, Choon Huei saved me from my misery and mosquitoes attack.

In order to repay her for her good deed, I bought her a delicious Super Spicy Taiwanese Sausage. Too bad she couldn’t finish it 😀

xes: yeah at least i post more interesting stuff then stupid clubbing scenes over and over again with pics of all the ah bengs

Ah Beng = a no-nonsense simpleton stereotype that usually wears anything with bright-neon-colors like hand-phone, hair, car, etc.

Do you agree? 😀

I got bozos as colleagues

Hi hi all, before I forget – give my buddy Oon a hit or two yah! He’s the latest count to the blogworld, always found him the amusing one so it’s great to be able to get the same dose of off-hand satirical humour daily (hopefully). 😀

Ok for some reason, the ctrl+shift+a button won’t work for me, so here’s da add – www.supaoon.blogspot.com

I am so frus coz my workplace banned me from accessing this site (damnit what is so freaking X-rated about this site?). Maybe they DID find out that I blogged from work. Shite.

Anyway, something so silly happened today at work ? my colleague, A, was carrying this clipboard on her hand, against her chest when another colleague, B, asked her what the time was. She then lifted her hand to look at her watch causing the clipboard to bang against her chin and nose. Ok so it was kinda funny, A and B who were facing each other were laughing so hard that they both bent in front the same time and banged each other?s heads. They both then bent back in laughter causing them to bang their heads against the office partitions which then caused some mini earthquake in the office causing everything against or on the partitions in the entire office to fall off like some domino run. It was timely that my boss came in just right then and he had the unprecedented ?wtf..?? look on his face, even more so when he saw A?s slightly bloody nose where she scratched it with the clipboard?

I can honestly say that I am bored of my job but it?s episodes like these that make it all worthwhile even just the little bit. 😉

Ok-la? time to make a phonecall to him before heading off to sleep, in preparation of yet another *ergh* day ahead? Nites!

Summons..

Summons
Last week, I received a summons for illegally parking along the road in front of Sunway College.

So today, I endured the fuckup traffic jam and pot holes in order to pay for my summons.

Unfortunately, the summons counter was closed. I was an hour late. Feeling frustrated, I walked back to my car. While on my way, an extremely fat Malay dude offered to settle my summons for me. He brought me to one of the annexed police quarters to see someone.

As I walked into the building, i went like.. “I’m going to blog about this”

I was greeted with the sight of 2 men playing ping pong. 2 traffic police motorcycles were parked next to their ping pong table. The Malay man went into a small room. Inside the room, there was a policeman singing karaoke. Wow…

The Malay man then brought me to the annex’s backyard to meet up with another man. That man offered to settle my summons for RM50. He told me that it would cost me RM70 if I pay at the station.

RM50 is just too much for me and further, I was told that it only cost me RM30 if I pay legitimately. The Malay men rebutted that by saying that they have raised the compound.

I had a feeling that they were lying. I said, “I’ll come back next week” and left the place immediately. I wonder what they said were true. Does it really cost me RM70 for illegal parking at Sunway College?

Election 2004

Malaysia Parliament was dissolved last Thursday. Election will be held on 21 March.

I haven’t registered myself as a voter though. I heard that we can do it at the post office. Well, the last time I was in a post office, I had to line up fucking long. No more post office for me.

During the previous elections, Malaysians would rush to the nearest super market to stock up their food supplies. This was due to fear of racial riot. On 13th May 1969, there was a bloody racial riot that killed hundreds of people. This happened after the governing party lost to the opposition party (which mainly compromise of non natives).

Dad told me many stories about 13th May. Luckily for him, he was back at his hometown that day. Some of his friends weren’t that lucky. A friend of his was walking around town then suddenly he saw many people started running. He was puzzled. Then someone from the crowd urged him to run as well. Apparently, machete welding men was chopping any rival races they saw.

Malay men setup blockades at Federal Highway. My dad’s lecturer was cruising on Federal Highway, and unknown to him, a racial riot has started. He had no idea what’s going on. As he approached the blockade, the men hit his windscreen and urged him to come out. Without hesitation, he stepped on the pedal, banging everything in front of him, and escaped that ordeal. He would be dead if he didn’t.

The Chinese did their part at the riot too. Remember the now defunct Rex Cinema at Chinatown? Well, during the riot, Chinese triads were waiting outside the Cinema. As the movie ended, the Chan Ho Nams and San Kai (aka triad members) chopped any Malay men they see.

Sounds like a thriller movie but i wouldn’t want to be in it.

Martial law was declared after that. No one was allowed on the streets. Another friend of Dad was stuck in a hotel for days without proper food. The patrons of the hotel had to share bread for few days.

This post might sound like an incitement. But this is the truth, and the truth shouldn’t be withheld from the public. The younger generation should not be deprived of such knowledge as it serves as a warning or lesson to all of us. I hope that this incident would never happen again. Amen…
