Have you ever scared anyone by suddenly speaking fluent Chinese?
Not really. I think that's prety common among us Malaysians.
Your brother, C.Loco, is also in Poetic Ammo but you don't look anything like each other. Were you adopted?
No, He is! Actually, I was born Chinese. When I was young, my mom dropped me from a plane and I fell into the tar pits.
Have you ever been mistaken as the brother of your other bandmate Yogi B?
Sometimes, because we're standing together on the album cover, but not in real life though. No way!
You're a famous rapper. Did you cry when Tupac Shakur died or when The Notorious B.I.G. was killed?
I cried when David Arumugam died! Do you know who he is?
The singer from Alleycats? The one with the afro?
No, the football player! He was a good friend of mine.
What was the last movie that made you gag?
What's that movie...Dusk And Dawn?
From Dusk Till Dawn, you mean.
Yeah! It was a really good gangster and robbery movie in the beginning but then it turned out to be some vampire bullshit!
What's the weirdest place you've thrown up in?
I've omited in so many places - Petaling Street (in KL), in front of the Rex Theatre. It was one or two o' clock in the morning. Yogi and my friends were helping me out. I threw up five times in half an hour. After I vomited, I drank again. Then I threw up again and then I drank again.
Your're driving on the highway and you're dying to pee. You can't wait until the next petrol station. What do you do?
I'd stop and pree by the side of the road. I've even taken a crap by the side of the road!
When you were a kid right?
No, when I was 21 or 22. I'm serious! It was in a taman. I tried to go to a toilet but there wasn't one. It was around one or two o' clock in the morning, too. The road was actually a dead end beside a house, so there were bushes around. It's quite okay actually - a once in a lifetime experience.
Would you rather run into a street lamp or run over an animal?
I'd swerve to avoid both.
You must be an excellent driver.
But you haven't seen my car yet. It's smashed on all sides - left, right and center.
Do you brag about you female conquests to your friends?
If they knew I was planning or doing something, eventually they'd ask. But if nobody knows, I won't say anything.
If your clohes could talk, what would they say?
They'd say, "I smell fresh."
The goggles you wear, do you actually go swimming with them?
I have two - one's yellow, the other's a black one. The yellow ones are snow goggles I bought in England. If you wear them, they enhance your vision. There's no power: it's just clearer. But I don't wear them when I swim because I hardly go swimming nowadays.
If you joined the army, would you get kicked out?
The only reason would be because of my height or my vision. I'm shortsighted, you see. Other than that, no, because I have a black belt in martial arts and I speak so many languages, I can infiltrate the enemy.
Do you do the quizzes in women's magazines?
Yes, whenever I go to the clinic. I'd do invisible ticks, count my score and check the results. But by the time I get to the results, I forget which answers I've ticked.
How do you make up with your girlfriend after you've been a jerk?
In those days, I wouldn't admit I was wrong. But I would slowly come out from behind the bushes and buy her something. I wouldn't be straightfoward about it like, "I'm sorry for what I've said or done." I'd do it in a different way. Nowadays I've changed because I've learnt a lot. If you're wrong, you better say something right.
Would you let your children have tattoos or pierced nipples?
My sons can do it, my daughters cannot. But if my daughter's a tomboy, then she can.
Would you like tea, coffe or me?
Of course you lah.
Why thank you, but how much is a teh tarik?
When I drink it early in the morning at the Chinese restaurant, the big one is RM1.20. But some restaurants charge RM1 for it. Mamak stalls would charge RM1. For a small teh at the mamak stalls, they go for 60 or 70 sen, but Chinese restaurants sell it for 70 or 80 sen. I prefer the one from the Chinese restaurants because they have the oomph in it. I'm a tea addict, if you must know.
Make up a rap right now about the JE virus.
I haven't read the newpapers yet.(A brief explantion follows) Man, they're killing my pigs? Okay, how's this? "Bites, pigs and cattle/Humans, torture/Who'd be the next victim?/They'd be killin', killin', killin" No good? I must remind you that I just woke up.
