Freaking Good Holiday

I GOT A PSP! It's 'felicia blue' and his name is Mull. This has been my only target purchase in Singapore. I have been saving my money for this thing and finally on the last day, I got it!! This is Mull with his family. I got the pouch and earpiece in KL though. It was a pretty darn expensive earphones too. Karol convinced me branded ones are well worth the price so since I plan to play Mull on the plane ride home I decided to get one. You can also see the extra battery in the background. That battery lasts for up to 10 hours++ (I think). And a lucky thing I got that in Singapore. The longest battery life I could find in KL was 7 hours. And even then it was crap. The salesman 'warned' me that I won't be able to cover the battery lid back if I insert a battery of any bigger size. But honestly I don't care. It's not like you see the battery at the back anyway. Consider the extra battery as a cooler pad for your laptop. Your lappy will work just fine without them, but with it, it's 'supposed' to last longer.

And of course, an original first game! It would be accurate to say that I bought a PSP just to play this game. The salesman, whose name is Ash, or Ashley tried to convince me to get a 4 GB memory card and he'll add 10 free games inside for me. Including FFT. But you know, I refused the offer because I just wanted FFT and nothing else? Some would call it stupid, but I honestly do not plan to clog my memory stick with games. My PSP is modified, but I decided to buy the games that I really want. Tthere's a pride to be had when owning an original game XD.

Singapore was shopping haven. I mostly visited stores of the brands I normally go in KL because their Singapore selections are different. All the while, we are flagged by Japanese students in almost every mall, especially DFS Galleria, a big mall just for duty free goods and souvenirs. It's not enough that they conquer the whole of our hotel floor, they have to be EVERYWHERE too! In the hotel floor we stayed, except for our two rooms, all the others are occupied by Jap students and their teachers.

A few are fine, but when you get overwhelmed by them in the lifts it does get kinda intimidating.

Anyway, we returned last Friday and tomorrow I'll be going home - FINALLY! Am getting a little bored of shopping malls now, but for some reason, I can't stop spending! XD I still need to get a strap for Mull.

When I get home I shall celebrate christmas with chocolates, DVDs, and games. Ha~ I can't wait!

Ta'ra!

p/s yesterday I saw the Power Rangers fighting against some evil villains in Sungei Wang. It was pretty cool how they went in formation hahaha!

Power Rangers @ Sungei Wang

Hi! I returned from Singapore last night and now I'm enjoying my moment of peace before I leave again tomorrow. I shall talk a bit about my trip later, but first - POWER RANGERS SIGHTED AT SUNGEI WANG!

I was relieved off my tour guide/tour leader duty today. Some sucker decided it's about time she takes over. I mean, you know how Malaysians are. "Woo! Blonds! Whitie! I'm gonna score BIG to be seen with them!"

True, you score big, but the attention can be annoying. The only sort of attention I liked was the one that made the shopkeeper appear nicer to you. The one that actually made them smile as you leave the store without buying anything. HAH!

Anyway, since I finally got me to myself, I decided to go browsing around and have Japanese food. Sungei Wang is in a real festive mood. They had a big christmasy stage in the center court. Today the celebration was Power Rangers. Since Bandai is holding a booth to sell Power Ranger toys, they thought it would be a cool idea to have the Power Rangers themselves appear to sell the toys!

I was quite impressed at the number of people queuing up for the photoshoot. The ticket for one photoshoot is 10 ringgit. The announcer said it in three languages; Chinese, Malay and English. So I caught all three. And if you ask me, those Power Rangers just look like regular cosplayers. Though cosplayers would take more care than them. I thought the pink and yellow rangers were supposed to be women, but why are they flat-chested there?!

It just felt a little wrong for guys to be in that pink and yellow costume...

But in spite of myself I quite enjoyed watching those kids and the rangers on stage. 'Course, all they did was pose for the photos, but it was fun getting all the attention. I'm a proud person you see, so I thrive on attention. Enough about me. Anyway, it must be tiring for those rangers to be posing for three hours straight. They went for breaks every hour I think. So even saviors of the world need rests eh?

Overall it was a rather relaxing and interesting day.

So, my Singapore trip. It was a seven and a half hour trip on train to Singapore. I went half of the way on reverse because my seat was facing the opposite way. Next time I'll know; on the go trip, pick seats numbers 8 and above. On the back trip, pick seats numbers 7 and below. I said on reverse because we sat at a different place after the train took off and had to return to our original seats when the rightful owners came hehehe.

I spent most of the journey reading a book. I finished it about a couple of hours to arrival so I had no other choice but to take out Sasarai for abuse.

I don't like eating while I'm reading because I don't want to smudge the pages, so after I was done with reading, I reluctantly took out my Rocky. We bought a set of five each the night before. Karol and Nad apparently finished theirs last night so I was the only one munching on it that day. At the same time, I also sat at someone else's place. I was supposed to sit in front of the duo, but I sat behind because there was someone in my seat. So I got the place all to myself. I even talked the guy who's seat I'm in to trade places with me! XD

Nadja bought a sketch book at KL Central. By the time we reached Singapore she had sketched almost half of that book! ...she's also darn good at it!

It was well into 10 pm when we reached our hotel. Karoline said she had got our hotel covered but I didn't get scrutinize the hotel voucher so I didn't realize it until the receptionist told us that our reservation was for 7th-9th December!!! And we arrived at the 6th!! I gave Karol a certain kind of look and she went on to say how it was impossible her friend Jessie who booked it online for them to get it wrong since they discussed the dates a lot. Honestly, about that time I've had it with 'Jessie'. She kept feeding them wrong information about this trip and now she screwed up our hotel reservation.

But no, Karol and Nad, being the good people they are, defended Jessie saying she was nice enough to help them and tried three times to book them the hotel and it was late at night and she was tired and bla bla bla. But that's not going to help our current predicament is it? Since Nad was hinting we'd better not be on the streets tonight.

I was keen on dissing Jessie more for being careless but I swallowed it ((If you can't do things properly then don't offer to help damnit!!!)). There will be other times. So since the check in time is 3 pm, there's no way for us to wait that long. Looking at our dire situation, my two companions were too numb with shock to react. So I asked the receptionist what our options are. He said we could stay one extra night. Tonight. Since it was only $75 a night, I took him on the offer. We got a small twin room and everyone was happy.

I wanted to diss Jessie some more, but I already expected what reply I'd get so I stashed it. A good thing Jessie's in Kuching and they won't see each other for a long while.

Anyway.

The three of us put the twin beds together for the night. Not exactly cramped, but the second night was cramper because it was a queen bed and we almost literally piled on top of each other x. Not very nice because my legs kept rubbing against someone's legs whos hair had just re-grown.

...I can still feel the sensation on my legs...*shudder*

But the days are fun. We actually have only one full day to explore Singapore so I took them to the only place I know best; Orchard Road. It has a dazzling array of shopping malls. My only spoils were a shower gel, the Chronicles of Narnia book (for the train ride home) and snacks (also for the train ride home). Oh and a DVD. But Karol got a lot of hats and pants and other things. Not bad for someone who said clothes shopping was boring :P.

There were a lot of Japanese youths roaming around Orchard Road that day, especially at Far East Plaza where we're at. Those people can't speak English and they spoke Japanese to the shopkeepers.Were they expecting the people to understand?? When a bunch of them came to this cramped little shop where Karol had an extended stay trying on hats, I told the shopkeeper what the Jap boys wanted when they looked so clueless. After that the shopkeeper thought I was fluent in Japanese. I had to make it clear to him I understood them but I don't speak much Japanese. I mean, how hard is it to say '30 Singapore dollars' anyway?

Singapore apparently is a popular spot for Japanese students on school trips. Everytime I go to Singapore I always find at least one group of them either in the malls or at the airport. Maybe it's due to the direct flight thing. JAL goes direct from Singapore to Japan's major airports.

Even when JAL goes to KL it will make a detour to Singapore first before going to Japan.

It should go without saying that Karol gets popular wherever she goes. I don't mind the attention, so long as it's the good kind, like the ones I said earlier. But when people get too friendly I have the tendency to just slip away for a while. Sometimes people say weird things to them that just makes me go "uh..." (coz of course they look at me, asking for an 'interpretation'!) like how an old guy on the train said Nadja has strong shoulders.

Oh oh Nadja has a fan! During one of the stops on the way back to KL, a man strolled about the side of the train and stopped beside Nad's window and peered in as she was sketching! It was funny. Some of the train conductors also stopped by to see her sketch. The attention is fine, but it does kind of make you wonder if you did something wrong at first. sighs.

The next day our train leaves at 1300 so we have to check out early and bring our bags along as we head out for breakfast and roaming around.

Throughout the trip to and back, I got asked a few times if I study overseas. I wonder what their reaction would be when I said I actually study at a dump of a university at Puchong? Another thing that happened often is how people asked me who they are in front of them! I find it a little rude. Why don't you just go and ask them directly? I mean, the moment I mention 'They are from Norway', they understood anyway.

sighs.

I'm glad this sucker volunteered to take them out today. Not that I want to be rid of them, I liked to imagine her babbling away with her bad English with them. I was on the phone with her once when Karol and Nad moved in their condo and man, she spoke like a true KLite! Broken English and 'cutesy' act all in one!

Well yeah okay, I already disliked her before I even spoke to her because she was the one who told Karol that Puchong was not safe and that Old Klang was a good place because it's in-between KL and Cyberjaya. Local or not, the latter alone is just stupid.

Yeah the apartment was okay, but she forgot to mention that there is no public transportation available except for the train which is about 10 minutes away on foot and you can't go there alone. And the fact that the location is convenient if you have a car (like a local)!!!

Pissed me off. If we met we would not become friends. She, though, might claim we're friends, but unless she really impresses me (and I am hard to impress) then I doubt we'll ever go further than 'some friends of Karol's'. People only become my friends when I let them. I hardly become friends with people 'by chance'. As you can obviously see, not everyone can get along with me. I take firts impressions very seriously. So whatever first impressions I make, it is a reflection of how I will appear to a particular person for a long time to come. Unless, of course, they impress me in some ways and make me change my opinions of them.

I apologize :P. It's just the way I am.

Man I was so relieved to be going back to an empty house today after I went out. Funny isn't it?

Ta'ra!

p/s Is it just me or does that guy in Ashley Tisdale's video looks a lot like Oli Pettigrew from Technomax?

Going Online For Nonsense

I hate going online for useless nonsense. Printing tickets, for example. But this is the first time I'm taking the train to Singapore so I'm allowing myself some lobaness. Anyway, yeah I'm going on my first of two Singapore trips tomorrow afternoon.

Karol and Nad arrived from Kuching today and tomorrow we go Singapore together coz they have to renew their tourist visa. Quite mafan, so might as well go sightsee while we're there. Their condo at Klang Lama is nice, but transportation is HEN MAFAN! I called all three cab companies and they all turned me down! In the end we had to walk under the drizzling rain to the nearest KTM station and took the train to Mid Valley. While boarding the train I accidentally stepped into the gap between the train and the platform. On my way down I grabbed onto a small woman in front of me. The poor thing.

Anyway, those two were so culture-shocked that I was shocked! I've told them there are a lot of people in KL but they weren't expecting it to be such a melting pot of people and cultures. I would have stayed over at their condo tonight but I didn't want to get smack in the way of their cleaning XD. Besides, I have my own chores to do at home. I pressed daddyo's shirts, for one. Tomorrow I still have to sweep the house before I leave.

I want to arrive early to the train station so I could spend some time eating before we leave. I used to spend 5 hours on the train from London to Edinburgh and all the food they had were snacks and sandwiches. Not that I'm complaining much, but you can't really expect a hot meal on the train can you?

My blog is seriously lacking pictures. Not my fault Sasarai sucks at taking pictures. I'm thinking of replacing him. That transvestite! If I get a new phone I'm going to name that one Sasarai too and pretend this one never existed.

To prepare for my 7 hour journey, I uploaded some songs from my Maroon 5, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears CDs into Marimo the Third (that's my ipod by the way). Yes you read right. I still listen to BSB and Britney. 'NSync too in fact. I love them classics. I also bought snacks from the supermarket when we went shopping. I had some trouble getting a suitable bag for my trip, but I finally decided to get this pulley laptop backpack that my mom bought for us to stuff groceries XD. Hehe...only my mom would buy a bag designed for heavy laptops especially to lug heavy groceries home.

Right, so, I need sleep. And my shoe strings are not in place yet! Ta'ra!

Too Independent Too Soon?

Going shopping with daddyo is very profitable. I would always start with nothing, and by the end of it I get my stuff plus the change from the purchase of my stuff. Makes good economic sense doesn't it?

But why are people in such a hurry to be independent from their parents?!

I even had a friend who has no background in business, has no experience or any related knowledge, is diving head on into a business! I've told this same friend what she should know about and what she should work on, and she admitted she wa sunprepared so the business idea was tossed aside. But then came the holidays and she considered herself been 'sleeping' too long. So she thought starting a business was the best way to 'wake' her up! She came to me asking for some financial support. I questioned her some basic things not related to the business but on how she was going to be able to pay me by January when she couldn't even find money now? She replied she 'believed there are many ways' so I asked her why not use those 'many ways' to get the money now? Then she concluded I wasn't able to help her so she went away.

I mean, get real. Would you lend your money to someone who's indecisive and unconfident like that? I really hate it when people want to borrow money from me but act as if it's no big deal if I don't give it to them. I would have helped if they really wanted it. Sometimes it can be for something as stupid as wanting to buy clothes urgently so long as they really need it and can assure me payback can be made in reasonable time. I am a yes or no person. If you want it, say yes I want it. Not 'well, if you could lend me it would really be helpful though you don't neccesarily have to'. To me that's a no.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's encountered people like this.

Look, it's not that I want to dampen her spirit in doing a business, but doing a business, even if it's just some crappy MLM (maybe especially so), should not be taken lightly. Is it wrong to start small like selling nasi lemak or keropok lekor by the road side? Trust me. If you do it diligently it will pay off nicely. I know this because I have a friend who's actually doing this and she stuck to basic rules of business. Good value, good customer service and plain hardwork will get customers coming back and money rolling in. Is it so hard?

So that's someone who wants to branch off on their own as soon as they can. Another is people who just refuse to accept money from parents. Isn't it weird that people would turn down free money? I asked them why and they said they don't want the strings attached to it. They would rather work for their own things than asking for money from their parents. A nobel thought, of course. But when your parents are giving you free money with no strings attached, why do you still refuse it?!?

Doesn't this remind you of the term 'kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang?' Roughly translated it has about the same meaning as living 'from hand to mouth'. It's like working hard to pay the advance payment for your car. Once you get the car you still have to pay the monthly payments, so doesn't this actually add to your expenses even though you're not making anymore than you did before you got that car?

So doesn't that leave you with less money?

This is a typical middle-class mentality. They believe in working hard, saving money and living off that money their whole life. They are suspicious of investments. They take pride in being able to fend for themselves without any parental intervension.

Like I said, a noble thought, but not very practical. We humans have to accept that we need help from time to time, whether we like it or not. And when you're with parents, they have certain responsibilities over you including giving you your pocket money. To refuse your right is stupid. Sure, go ahead and make yourself independent, but don't stop parents from being parents. We are at an age where we are slowly breaking free from our parents. But we are not quite there yet. So is it so wrong to just stay quietly and take things as they come? I mean, in five years or so nobody would be around to make dinner for you anymore once you're married.

Maybe I'm saying this because I am comfortable living in my parents' house. I know this is not the case for everyone but it apllies to most people. Remember how people kept reminiscing how good life was in high school? and when you enter the working life you reminiscent how much better life was during college?

All I'm trying to say is: forward thinking is good. But never forget to live in the moment. The saddest thing is to let life pass you by without you even realizing it.

There, I gave you my Dua Kupang Worth. Now have a life. Ta'ra!

Salvation Hath Arriveth

I have intentionally neglected my blog for the final duration of my...finals. Hehehe. The exam season was like a PMS on itself.

You either have an increase or decrease of appetite, mood swings, and aggitation. The symptoms are the same, don't you think?

Anyway, like all exams, the thing we look forward to the most would be the after-exams 'activities'. I've considered going to the movies finally, and even clean the house and stuff. So far I haven't done any of them, except to pig out XD. Eating is good.

Exam was like hell to me. I hated it. I messed up so many questions. But that's all in the past :D.

I remember thinking how deprived I am of a good holiday not long ago. And now suddenly I'll be having an extended Singapore trip. See, I have to accompany a couple of friends to Singapore on the 6-8 December. But I already palnned to go to Singapore on the 9th to 14th with my family. And in the end I'll on go home by the 18th T_T.

I'll have less than a month to spend groping Kujong! D: And then I have to clean my room for imminent renovations. Though this time I'm taking Kujong with me when I go abck to KL. I learned my lesson the hard way when Ii left my ps1 at the TV room during renovations. My stupid wretched brother threw away my memory cards! Grrr

Anyway! Leaving it on its own for so long leaves it open for abuse too and people are always looking to abuse my stuff *Glares*. I mean, I know I have all the coolest stuff, but please you know, stuff has owners too!

Heh...I'm looking forward to my christmas celebration. Sweets abound!!

Ta'ra!

Strictly My Observation

Despite the odds, I went and watched Stardust. And what luck too. I saw there was no more showing time today. Next I will watch Bee Movie and something else, if I have enough will to.

Anyway, I was studying SBM and just one paragraph into I was already yawning. Made worse by the thought of the cangkul lecturer who teaches the subject. I heard he received so many complaints this sem he was given a three months temination notice. Woo hoo! I hope he leaves in shame! Let justice be done.

This is the next paper, on Monday, and then I have Marketing the next day. Same subject title as the one I studied in Foundation, but 70% of the contents are more in depth. The problem with this subject is probably not the subject itself. It's fine as long as you study enough for it. No. The real problem is the lecturer who is a self-proclaim bias. He's a Bangla, hates Celcom, likes to tease (taunt) students from smaller countries , very lenient towards Bangla students and has a thing against not being able to be bias against Malay students (now that I think about it, the cangkul lecturer was also bias against us). It's as if he can't afford to be bias against us, even though in reality he's not that fond of us. Luckily for him, real Malays in the class are about...2 or 3 people, including me. The others are Sabah natives and they are obviously not Malays. And a host of foreign students.

Honestly, I would be more glad if he'd just go ahead and admit it. Bangla lecturers are one of a kind. They are proud of their race (I wonder why?). Let me give you an example.

The stats lecturer in my first sem was a Bangla. During a mid-term, he caught another Bangla student cheating (even tho it actually became 'open discussion' once he left the classroom in the middle of the test). And as that Bangla student was passing up his paper, we all witnessed him scolding the student and refusing to accept his paper because he cheated. So naturally, he failed.

So is it possible for someone who failed their mid-term to have an A for stats at the end of the semester but either failed, and were absent for the other subjects?

Man, was I glad not to see both teacher and student in the next semester.

I am not trying to imply them as racists, but my Econs lecturer was Bangla too and he ignored me in class a lot too. It pissed me off because I was the only one who knew the answers to his questions yet he insisted on asking those dark-skinned students first, regardless if they were Banglas or not. Geez if you ask me, looking at their 'condition' they can't afford to be racist.

I mean, I could understand if you want to be proud if you were Chinanese or Caucasian. At least those people had something they can be proud of. But Banglas!? Other than stinking up our busses and spitting on our sidewalks, what other noticable contributions can they be credited for? (Of course, general labour issues aside) And I have honestly approached this matter objectively, but as the evidences are basically splattered to my face, I would have to be completely blind to miss it!

Makes me so mad.

Once I went completely mad at this one Bangla student in our group. His English sucked and he handed me his 'interpretation' of his part of the assignment. I threw it back in his face (not literally but I wish it was) and gave him a big piece of my mind about it. He wanted to counter back but was more concerned about playing the 'nice guy' so he shut up and I ended up doing his part. I told him he'd better memorize the script I gave him or he's got another one coming the next day.

And during presentation, he froze. He was mechanical, but the worse was that he's reading.

I gave him the Death Glare™ right then and there. Didn't help of course, but I wasn't expecting him to improve anyway.

Little did I know he was the Marketing lecturer's housemate and he had whined to him how our presentation was 'funny' and stuff. The lecturer told him the presentation was unacceptable and he threw that back at us so I threw it back at him + Death Glare™ + a BIG piece of my mind + a correction of his grammar + an insult to his 'kewl' way of typing = A devastating blow to his ego.

Beware the Death Glare™. I often use it on cangkuls and towards people I'm really pissed at. It's convenient coz I don't have to say a word.

Either way, I am never associating with Banglas again. They can go the way of the lamers, who I'm afraid is studying hard this sem. But they still haven't realized their own shortcomings it seems. And until they realize what it is, they will never be better than me. Look at my pride talking again. Even if, by some strange twist of fate, they did, get better than me, in real life they will probably never go far.

Therefore, I must not lose to the lamers, the Banglas and the cangkuls. They can just drop dead and die. I'm repeating myself, I know. But better safe than sorry. These people are just wasting oxygen.

Ta'ra. *Goes away in a huff*

Another Leg

Yes, another leg of my exam starts. Yesterday's pyschology was...well, no comment. You should never trusts a rookie lecturer's tips you know.

Anyway, you wouldn't believe what I've been fixated on these days. Okay I'll tell you.

DISNEY CHANNEL.

Yeah you read right. I've been watching a lot of Disney Channels. I need my daily dose of cartoons too you know. And unlike animes you don't have to be too opinionated to watch them. I mean, they are on Disney Channel. It's as general as general viewing gets.

So everyday I would be in front of the TV starting from 3:30 pm because that's when Martin Mystery is on. I like Martin Mystery. The art maybe pseudo-anime, like Team Galaxy and Totally Spies, but who cares. I don't think it would be tolerable any other way. I mean, what's not to like about a pair of siblings who work for a secret inter-galactical organization and studies in a castle-like building of a school?

Then Disney Channel has this thing called 'Power Hour 3' where they air three back to back episodes of a series in one hour. Yesterday was Shuriken School, another of my favorite series. It's fun watching a bunch of kids going to school learning about being a ninja. Add that and their interesting choice of weapons. A girl used CDs as shurikens and the main protagonist's main weapon was his trusty lime-colored plastic ruler. He used it as a sword, a crowbar, and boomering all at once. Instead of "drop your gun!", it's "drop your ruler!". I mean, how cool is that?!

In addition to that I also like Monster Allergies and the Suite Life of Zack and Cody! *grins*.

....

Exams need to finish quickly.

Ta'ra.

In The Nick of Time

I finished my Psychology ass and it's not even midnight yet! Now I have time to spare to study for the exam tomorrow hehehehe! I was really stressed out when I first started it. The only comfort I found is that this ass only needs about 2-3 pages, just one case, summerize it and double spacing.

I mean, how hard can it be right?

Not until I went around searching for the appropriate case. Finally, I found one on memory. Repressed Memory, to be precise. I found an article from March 1995 and found it to be interesting. I mean, how often do people talk in lenght about psychology cases without using too much idioms anyway? Of course, repressed memory is not something acceptable in psychology anymore, following so many controversies, scandals and revoked licenses. Either way, I understood it and managed to make one out of my own understanding (no matter how warped it may be). Therefore, I am proud of myself!

So at the end of my ass, I used 1.5 spacing because double spacing is too big and I used a lot of one sentence paragraphs. Imagine how wide the gap is between that sentence and the following paragraph?

See, the reason I'm so happy with the completion of this ass is that, despite it being last minute, I managed to pull it together elegantly. That doesn't happen often you know, because I always procrastinate my assignments til late. Like, waaay late, as in, by the submission deadline of Saturday 1 pm, my work would be hot out of the printer at 12:59 pm. But that was when I was at the hostel. This sem, strangely enough, I didn't have an assignment I had to submit on Saturday. We seemed to have submitted all our assignments directly to the lecturers; A method I much preferred.

Anyway, yes I am happy. I will finish studying for the paper tonight and go to bed late, because I woke up at noon again today, despite my efforts to wake up earlier. I am considering going to the movies after my exam tomorrow. I've been calling up my classmates in my panic and they all seemed so easy-breezy telling me instead of studying they had just returned from the movies!

I figured it's about time I catch the Bee Movie. I almost forgot it was even in theatres. Or maybe I should catch Stardust first, since Bee Movie apparently still has a lot of playing times.

Oooh I should stop this and go right back to studying. I will not lose to the lamers!

I AM ON FIYAAA BABY!!

Ta'ra!

Not Dead

No my blog is not dead. My phone line was. Bill issues.

I want to start this post with a big shoutout.

I MISS MY PS2!!!!

I'm sick of studying. I want to go home and indulge in gaming.

I want to play FF12 till dawn, sleep the whole day, wake up at lunch and play it again until dawn the next day. And the cycle continues.

But a bunch of boring stuff is going on right now so I've been studying like a madwoman. For some of you guys, exams have ended but for me it's just starting. Next week. And I have an assignment due on the same day...

Ah, life is not good...

I'm going to proceed to 12 Habits now.

Ta'ra!

Defiance

I camped at my living room that night to watch the Laruku concert. Hyde is so hot. I could just marry him on the spot! O_O

Retail therapy is definitely one of my favorite subjects ^_^. Regardless of what they like to buy, all girls enjoy retail therapy. Yesterday I went to an open house of my friend's and when we returned, I finally checked out Pavilion. There's a traffic light coveniently located in front of it. I only did a walk through, just to see what's there and what's coming hehehe.

Then I went to Lot 10 and decided that, I need new socks.

I like Esprit socks XD. They are so soft and colorful. Well okay, most of them probably look about the same. And I might even buy it just because of the brand, but I'm not kidding about the softness. When you wear socks a lot, your feet gets sensitive to what materials are put on. I used to buy socks from Sox World but I didn't like the material. They look pretty, but they are hard and scrappy, of sorts. And I no longer buy toe socks too. Putting the toes in one by one is so mafan when you're in a hurry.

It's study week and exam starts on the 19th, for me at least. And....right now I'm doing revisions, naturally. But that's the boring bit. The fun bit is...let me start with last Monday.

Last Monday was the last class for this subject with our cangkul lecturer Karuna, The One Everyone Despise (TOED). That's probably the best acronym I've had so far XD. Anyway, there was this Vietnamese girl in our class. She went around asking everyone if they want to help her do the notes on every chapter of the subject. I somehow said okay to co-do the last chapter with Khaye. Even though I'm not really fond of her since she rubbed me the wrong way for suporting TOED when I was rallying signatures to have him replaced.

Yesterday Khaye asked me if I had done my part and I said no. Partly because I'm too lazy to break momentum on Marketing, which I'm currently studying. I was tempted to tell the Viet girl "Is it okay if I don't want to do it because I don't like you?" It sounds bad, but at least it's honest :P.

And besides, sure, she said everyone's gonna do a piece and we'd be helping each other out. But honestly, I don't like other people doing my notes for me. And most of those notes except for two people I'm confident with, will be in broken English! WTF am I supposed to do with them anyway? I especially hate to be told what to do by someone I don't respect, let alone someone I don't like. I have my pride you know.

And yeah, that's the current drama going on in my mundane life. Apart from revisions, I still have two One Piece movie DVDs to watch. So procrastination XD.

Ta'ra!

Screw Motivation!

I initially wanted to blog about noble things like the Terry Fox Run going on tomorrow and the issues of guys' behaviors from my dad's Dato' Dr. Fadzillah Kamsah's motivation CDs...but screw that!

LARUKU'S CONCERT IS ON CHANNEL V TONIGHT AT 5 AM! ZOMG MUST WATCH MUST WATCH!!!

Though if you missed it there's still going to be a repeat at 8pm the same day. Totchi is going to watch the 8pm show. But I couldnt! Why? Let me tell you why!

1. If we're not out by that time, my dad will be hogging the TV watching lame golf shows, 0r

2. We will be out at that time for dinner at my cousin's.

So you see where I stand here? If I don't catch it now when my dad is asleep, I may never get another chance to see Laruku on TV again you got me??

I first saw Hyde performing HELLO on Hitz.TV and although I didn't quite like his song then I was besotted by him instantly! Then I found out he was the vocalist of this band and as the rest as you know it, is history!

And for the record, no other guy could get away with being short and nearly 40*cough* other than HYDE, got it?!

Coz HYDE is HOT!

Even Kuja agrees! He even has his own HYDE insignia!

I've posted this on Yee 'O Lost Souls before. But no harm in reposting it again eh?

Anyway, now I need to find something to do before 5 am. Since it's so quiet and stuff and I already had my nap, I'll study :D. I'll be so sleepy comes tomorrow coz I have to attend this open house of my classmate's hehehe.

But, this thing don't happen often, so I'll be strong!

ZOMG HYDE! ZOMG LARUKU MUST WATCH MUST WATCH!!

Ta'ra.

Perspective

Perspectives can distort a person's point of view. It will strongly affect the person's opinions, turning them into beliefs and eventually becoming a prejudice.

Once a person's perspective is set, nothing you say can change them, unless they get into a serious reality check. What's black is black, what's white is white. No budging. That is why it's important to keep an open mind.

Sometimes I wish I don't have to care so much. But I can't help it. It's only when something bad happens that leaves me frustrated would I stop and wonder if I'm doing too much. Sometimes, yeah, but most of the times I'm just acting on behalf of that person's best interest. If they don't trust me, fine. I shall stop wagging my tail where I am not wanted.

I have never been so pissed and shoved to the side like some unwanted crap being flushed down the toilet. But I accept it as a part of life. These things happen; it's foolish not to anticipate it. You just have to get over it and move on. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but how long are you going to dwell on it anyway?

But as a precaution to myself, in case I start to care too much again, I deleted that person's number from my contact list. If she needs me, she'll contact me. I wasn't even let down easily. I was just pushed aside and left to wonder on my own. But no more. It'll be the cold shoulder from now on. I don't care of their people don't talk to someone in a straight manner. No longer giving hints. If they want something, say it. I'm not picking up hints.

Yes I'm that pissed. I was that crap remember?

They are adults. And as adults we learn to take responsibilities for our own actions.

Good luck to them.

Hungry Day

Have you ever had a hungry day before?

I did. I barely ate anything 'edible' today before my afternoon class. So you can imagine how hungry I was by the time class finishes.

Never mind I'll tell you. I was so hungry I could just gobble up rice for no reason.

And somehow the above sentence doesn't make much sense to me now.

I had to wait for daddyo to pick me up after class. I was already planning on taking him to IOI mall across the road to eat. The image of Thai Express' sliced roast beef was already making me salivate as I wolfed down the sausage bun I bought from the bakery.

Why didn't I just go ahead and wait for daddyo at Thai Express you ask? Well, lazyness.

During this waiting I met an African student named Abdul. I think we've been introduced before though. It's funny. Anyway, he was a nice person. Very polite. Most of the Africans in my college are quite polite. Except Nigerians.

Anyway, while in class I was thinking about baby kailans and how soft and salty it would taste like XD~.

And my dream came true.

I actually ate 90% of those kailans.

But unfortunately...THEY DID NOT HAVE ROAST BEEF!!

I was devastated...T_T

But I was too hungry to complain so I ordered something else. Also, their strawberry lime cooler is H E A V E N. It has pickled strawberry bits inside.

I ate as if there was no tomorrow, gobbling down sinful amounts of white rice. It was only until we went back into the car that I remembered that we were supposed to be meeting my uncle for dinner at my cousin's place.

But for now, daddyo is itching to try out his new golf set, so to the driving range we went.

He didn't stay too long. He tried a few of his new clubs, a set of G10 I heard and happily went away.

But me...I had to say goodbye to my wallet chain there T_T. It got stuck in the chair. I tugged and pulled but it won't release, so I had no choice.

I need to get a new chain :/. I still had to go to my cousin's stall tonight remember? I ate his pan-friend potatoes and was so full after that I could barely think. It was as if I was back to the state I was when I was hungry.

So much for a hungry day.

Ta'ra.

Hello

This is not a video game blog.

Hi I'm Atziluth and I'm from the Island of Shapes. Welcome to The Oblong Corner.

After years of making a presence at Friendster, I finally left it for good. I kept the tagline from Yee 'O Lost Souls (that's my old blog by the way) but changed the name.

I will keep the crap talking to a minimum and provide better crap talking! :D

Anyway, yeah I know the logo has PSP, but this is not a video game blog :P. Though I might talk about video games now and then hehehehe. The theme shows my secret yearning to have a PSP. A metallic pink one at that!

Or not. Still...

I also have another blog. 12 Habits. Every month or so I post up new habits to incorporate into my daily life. So I'm hoping by the end of the 12 months, I'll have broken 12 bad habits and got 12 new ones. Hopefuly good ones XD.

I'll be posting from this blog from now on, so if you find my rants amusing, please do come back once in a while okay? Thanks!















My new holiday home at an undisclosed location



Ta'ra!
