er...no?

Yes its true. I secretly rule the internet.

Well there's no point hiding and yes its true. As one astute blogoguy has realised, EpIII is indeed a veiled warning by George Lucas that I am the real threat - ie that there IS a blogosphere conspiracy in Singapore and I am the one behind it. Thanks George, thanks hor!

See in order for you to marvel at my mastery, i shall lay it out for you to dazzle you and maybe in the process gain some admiration from steph song too.

Firstly, I created a false threat in the form of MDA. I'm surprised more of you didn't spot it. The MDA is obviously an imaginary organization. I mean, which real life government media agency can work against the media so much. Pfft.

Secondly, I invented Singabloodypore to seemingly champion the rebellion. In fact, i wasnt really putting in much effort since instead of constantly writing stuff, i just copied and pasted from other blogs to create the impression that there was a real blog.

So now that everyone is going "eeee" at Makeitseemlikewe're Development Authority and then "eee" at the ctrl-c-ctrl v-pore, naturally everyone will gravitate towards the now reasonable sounding Mr Brown and Mr Miyagi. In fact, they are the same person- just use photoshop to touch up. I mean i didn't even bother to change their first names (mr) and Miyagi means "to brown" in the Delta system. And yes, i created them both (I grew them in a petri-dish mixing the stem-cell of a mensa master genius and some MSG).

And now, I make Mr Browyagi seem like threats so that the blogosphere will now make me EMPEROR of the blogopore. A*Star? I'll be THE*Star! I'll invite Philip Yeo for tea even. Yes, that's how powerful I will soon become.

And now I'll reveal my true name, you've seen my name all over the place but never knew it was me! moi! Mystery Tan Lines...is actually (cue public domain drumroll mp3 track please) ...A Nony Mous (Yes its a french name). Yes that's me leaving stupid remarks all over the place. A Nony Mous! Fear my name! I rule! BWAHAHAHAHA.

But you know what? I'm bored already, so you can have the blogosphere back. Take my blogosphere. please! (Rimshot). Gotta get back to my drawings and singlish. Writing proper english hurts my brain.

Excuse me, INTERNATIONAL Mystery Tan Lines ok?

woohoo! Thanks to MrBrown for spotting my first little bit of international blog fame.

http://del.icio.us/RebeccaMacK/globalvoices has linked to my star wars singlish entry (not sure if they understood it but at least they linked it).

Who says you need to speak good english to be noticed internationally? Looks like I did it the reverse way hahahaha.

Ok so now 14 minutes of fame left to achieve....hmmm

REBATE OF THE SIP

Everyone should enjoy Star Wars Ep 3; Even the ah bengs. I got a lot of good responses from the Ah Beng version of the Architect's speech from Matrix (I think brown post up for me- i dunno how to trackback, sianz). So here’s a ah beng friendly version of the events of the movie. Warning contains singlish spoilers.

XING XING SIO PA: LUMBER TWEE
REBATE OF THE SIP

HESPISODE TWEE:
(slanted text)
Now suma lang sio pa. ok bian kong liao. Kwa hee!

SPECIAL EFFECTS START LIAO:
The separatists (Chope for trivia: Last time Singapore also separatist leh) with the lobot ahmy fight against the clone war. Clone means all the army one kind one (Chope: SAF also dem one kind one). So fight lor. All mobilize. Open mob, silent mob, simi gui ya mob. Golden banana, flying shoe, all mob mob mob. Even the navy ship mob until become robot and fight on land. Who fight at water after that I also dun know.

So Kopi One (is it because he like to go to coffeeshop and shout “Kopi one, uncle! Kay Kopi ok? Kopi one kay kopi!” – actually he can order Kopi kao but Gwai Lang Gone neber teach properly- blame MOE). So he fly with Aneekin (in hokkien mean “Wah, so fast” coz he grow up so fast- win the girl growing up speed). So the two jedi fly and fight the lobot to rescue some Minister Xi Dee Us. Actually now he is call Chancellor coz now got chance.

So fight lor. Then fight General Grevious. Is this robot that always cough. Maybe smoking too much. I dunno. Got hi tech si mi sai until whole body robot but never fix his cough (these clinic sometimes luan luan jo one). So I think he call General grevious coz he is like Generally grevious lor. Everything also must replace until robot and then only small part is still natural type but EVEN THEN also kenna cough. LLPL right? Like dat also I will sure turn to dark side one. Where got meaning?

So they save the minister lor. Then go back to spacedock and Aneekin quickly secretly meet with his secret wife out in the open. Sometimes Aneekin do things too kin liao. Scully hor lang kwa- si ah! Bway jai si, ji kor! So he meet with his secret wife (not PRC one- real one). His wife is princess ah mei da lah (translated means “smack my beeeatch up”. So ah mei also got the donut hair (she very fashion one).

Ah mei say she going to sae kia. Ask how like dat. If cannot tell gahmen means no rebate leh. Aneekin say “bian kia, lim peh kao tim” (but actually he say only lah. I think he also blur liao, can see his face kan cheong).

At night Aneekin cannot sleep properly. He stress until bway tahan. Go out to nice service balcony. Moral of this part of the story is: rich pipple also got pawblem.

Next day Aneekin meet the minister again. Minister say- want to promote him. Maybe like nominated MP or backbencher type position. Wah good lor. If become minister then maybe can vote on pay rise – of course sure vote yes lor.

Later Jedi council say why minister luan luan lai one. Anyhow suka suka appoint him to council. Then jedi council jo simi sai liddat. Tng choo ah? Jedi say ok lor, you join council but dun expect to be promoted to Jedi master. We all got standard one ok?

Aneekin also bway song. Basket. Where got “council but not master” tai ji one. They also suka suka one. Basket. Some more ask him to spy on minister. Siao ah. Wait kenna ISD call for tea leh.

Later Aneekin go and find minister again. Minister at theatre see show (look like Serk De So Leh). Minister say last time got one super dark side master can even make dead people come back to life. I think true. I mean, some minister very powerful one leh. If mother comprain to minister, can get son out of the Clone army one. Keng king some more.

Meanwhile Kopione go to find the asthmatic robot (maybe his name should be George Mucus HAHAHAHAHA …ahem). So he ride this noisy lizard shouting all over the place until go straight into the pai lang HQ. but lucky this lizard also tactical one. Not even fart while waiting. Good leh. So Kopione fight and shoot the robot’s heart lor. You see? Save money until – most important part of body neber protect. I mean $5 more get some cheap Tupperware at pasha malam to at least cover up lah.

But Aneekin also find out this minister is actually Daaf Xi Dee Aas (Daaf Dying Kid Backside) and then no choice have to report police (jedi police). So Mace come to arrest him but scully Mace Window crashing thru the windu. Why the minister place so windy when Aneekin condo balcony so open one? Siao weather. But now the minister face kenna his own electric shock (PUB bill sure very high one, all ten fingers chuut tian leh)

So Aneekin also give up lor. He go to kill all the chow jedi. After that, the library all full of See Ghee Nah. Terok ah.

Meanwhile, the minister go to parliament and ownself give promotion to Emperor (like last time in china). How can minister anyhow give himself promotion and create new position? This george lucas so unrealistic. These kind of thing never happen in real life one. Never. Never ever never. Where got right?

So Yoda (ie Mr Miyagi but shorter and longer ears but also go to gym a lot I think), yoda go and fight with minister. Minister anyhow throw things at him. If not minister, sure kenna fine for killer litter one. But what to do. One eye close.

So Kopione go and settle with Aneekin at Mustafah Shopping Centre (even during volcano eruption, still open- got standard leh). So they fight and in the end Aneekin kenna burn at Mustafah (maybe coz he is tourist there so kenna burn?).

Lucky Senator Bail Organizer come in to organize a bail out the last 2 jedi and the princess. In the end, the princess got twins (how come the Gynea droid never do ultrasound scan? Wah lau eh). Maybe one baby use the force "I am not the baby you are scanning for" and bluff the ultrasound nurse. But only 2 kids, not 3 so no baby bonus. So sad until she die. Wasted. Dunno if got medishield.

So senator take the girl coz he say his wife want girl. So he take girl back and tell wife, “Eh lau puo, you know you wanted a zha bor kia right? Eh i got one free leh. No need to queue. Senator mah. I told you gahmen people got spesure one. Oh by the way the zha bor kia probably got a lot of mady chlorine coz she is the kid of the most powerful evil pai lang in the galaxy and just killed almost all the jedi. Cute right?”

Then the boy they take to Tattoo Inn and let his uncle and auntie look after. This couple very clever one. They will secretly hide him but will still keep his surname which just happens to be the most powerful pai lang in the galaxy. Maybe skywalker surname very common like Tan like dat. If call Luke Tan also I dunno is my kid or not.

So Aneekin burn until chow ta so chow ta wear black lor. In the last part, we see they all building something big. Its big and will take years to finish. When its finish it will bring terror to some and power to others. Yes, they all building casino. What to do? Gahmen is gahmen.

ZHONG (that mean finish liao)

FLASHBACK: SINGLISH MATRIX

Translated by the Mystery Ah Beng for those Engrish not powderful. This is in Singlish (ie hokkien + malay + english + rubbish). Originally done by moi but posted up on mrbrown's blog (coz last time dunno how to brog). Enjoy. (Tip: it helps to read it out loud)
Disclaimer: Dont sue me if my singlish sucks.

The Architect - Hello, Neo.
Ah Neo, ho bo?

Neo - Who are you?
Lur si siang?

The Architect - I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human.
Wah si zho chu eh lang. Wah zho matrix. Wah tan lur jin ku liao. Lur ai mng wah jin zwei ming kia. lur tum po xiao xiao, ta pi ya si lang.

Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.
And den, wah kong eh ming kia, wu eh ming kia lur eh sai ming pei, wu eh ming lur bway sai. Concordantly, lur eh seng ai wah kong eh ming kia ka na jin zong yao, ta bi xi bo liao eh.

Neo - Why am I here?
Wah ti ji dao zho xi mi gui?

The Architect - Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.
Lur si matrix bo ho sei sekali an ni kua eh. Wah bei sai an ni zhun zhun.

The Architect - While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.
Wah siam ya bei sai, control ya bei sai. Ta pi lur lai liao so ho say liao lor.

Neo - You haven't answered my question.
Lur kong xi mi gui?

The Architect - Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.
Dio! Lur kong wei kiang! Bi e nang kin.

*The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: "Others? What others? How many? Answer me!"*
Xi mi sai! Gui eh lang? Ga lim peh kong!

The Architect - The matrix is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
Matrix jin jia lao. Wah xio eng kai wu luck eh matrix liao.

*Again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: "Five versions? Three? I've been lied too. This is bull****.*
Gor eh? Sar? Gong pian way. Gu sai!

Neo: There are only two possible explanations: either no one told me, or no one knows.
Hmm bo lang ka lim peh kong or bo lang zai ya.

The Architect - Precisely. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly's systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations.
Dio! lur xi matrix long zong sa lah eh ming kia rojak liao then an ni kwan.

*Once again, the responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors: "You can't control me! **** you! I'm going to kill you! You can't make me do anything!*
Lur bay sai control wah! K** N* N** B**! Wah ho lur si! Lur mai kio wa zo ming kia.

Neo - Choice. The problem is choice.
Choose. Xi choose hor lang zho pai.

*The scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to the Architects room*
Chio bu sio pah.

The Architect - The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure.
Wah seng zho eh matrix. Swee swee. Ho kwa. Ta pi kenna twa zong.

The inevitability of its doom is as apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature.
Ji zhun wah zaiya si in wei lur lang xim bo ho. Wah yah an ni kwan program yi eh matrix tum po bo ho lor.

However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection.
Ko ji pai, zho ka twa zong then bo hwa hee. Wah then zai ka ki bwei ming pei eh. Wah eng kai eng bo liao tao nao zo ho.

Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of the human psyche.
Thus, ji eh hor paat eh program eng kai zo pat eh ming kia then hu lang keng pwa to then ming pei eh.

If I am the father of the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother.
Lim pei si matrix lau peh. Yi xi lao bu lor.

Neo - The Oracle.
Auntie.

The Architect - Please. As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99.9% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level. While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused the program, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.
Ho sim lah, wah eh hiao liao. If lim pei hor lur nang choose, lur nang wu 99.9% gong eh sai. Ta pi an ni kwan zho ming kia, eh sai wu tai ji eh.

Neo - This is about Zion.
Zi eh si wah eh chu eh ming kia! Jai-en!

The Architect - You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
Lur lai in wei Jai-en ai zi-ba-bo liao. Long zhong nang hor wah zho xi!

Neo - Bull****.
Gu sai!

*The responses of the other Ones appear on the monitors:
"Bull****!"*
Gu Sai!

The Architect - Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.
Lur nang ta pai gong bo siang sin. Ta pi wah nang ya ti ti hor lur nang xi. Ji jun zho ka swee swee.

*Scene cuts to Trinity fighting an agent, and then back to the Architects room.*
Chio bu sio pa then tng lai.

The Architect - The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion.
Ah Wan eng kai balek kumpung then ka lim peh gong ming kia. Jai-en bo liao then lur eh sai choose 23 lang. 16 za bor, 7 ta por zo sin eh jai-en.

Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.
Bo jo jiu xi long zhong system lang gah. Then long jai-en lang xi.

Neo - You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive.
Lur bwey sai an ni kwan zho. Bwa gum. Lur bo lang bwei sai mah.

The Architect - There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this world.
Mm si bwei sai, xi tum po kan kor lor. Ta pi, lur ai sabo long zhong lang xi meh?

*The Architect presses a button on a pen that he is holding, and images of people from all over the matrix appear on the monitors*
TV wu jin zwei lang.

The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.
Wah kwa lur ji ho kwa. Lur eh gor eh peng yew ya xi ka lur an ni kwan. Kwa TV then bwei sai sabo tio bo?

*Images of Trinity fighting the agent from Neos dream appear on the monitors*
Chio bu sio pah ji TV.

Neo - Trinity.
Lianity!

The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.
Yi ka ki jip matrix ai kew lur eh.

Neo - No!
Bei sai!

The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end.
Start eh xi zhun zho bo ho then liao eh xi zhun ya zho bo ho.

There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species.
Wu neng eh mng. Ji eh hor zion ho sei. Jia chew peng kur Lianity eh tao kew yi.

As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we?
Lur gong wei gao. Xi choice then bo ho mah. Ta pi wah nang eh zai lur ah zho si mi tio boh?

Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it.
Wah kwa lur eh zha bor peng yew ai xi liao ta pi Lur ai ka ani kwan bei xai kwa yi ba lu xi liao.

*Neo walks to the door on his left*
Kia jia chew.

The Architect - Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.
Hai yah. Hope xi zo lang eh pian ming kia ta pi hor lang wu lat ka bo lat.

Neo - If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again.
Lur mai hor lim pei kwar lur or wah eh hoot lur.

The Architect - We won't.
Kwa bwei tio liao lah.
-----
That's it. Whew.

THIS and isn't doing THAT, you can pray directly to the MrBrown Idol. Now, you can make MrBrown do whatever you want him to do!

Got a research paper but no content? Blame MrBrown! Some guy kenna sue for writing bad stuff in his blog? Scold MrBrown for no devoting his life to it! Yes with the MrBrown Idol, you don't have to have your own voice. Use his! And if anything doesn't work the way you like it, blame your MrBrown idol in the privacy of your own home without taking up bandwidth.

A Bridge Too Mustafar


A Bridge Too Mustafar
