I feared for my modem to be fried along with any hardwares it might have affected alongside during a huge thunderstorm which struck in the afternoon - a time in which I was too tired to move from my bed to do anything at all, what more head to my computer and plug out everything and all.
But thankfully none of that happened.
All which happened was my main computer being able to access the internet again, after what feels like an eternity, immediately after the thunderstorm.
?_?
Sometimes, things in life confuse you in the funniest ways. I guess that's why it's great to be alive.
Kinda over exaggerated, I know.
*
Final paper on Monday. Hell yeah. Hell freaking yeah.
The only downside is how difficult-to-comprehend this final unit is. Everything feels so on the surface. In fact, just barely 'floating' too.
And the worst part of it all? No one understands what we, we being the Arts students, are going through. No one knows how tough it can be and that's sickening. Because we struggle like many of the difficult courses out there, but no one acknowledges our struggle as they do for the other courses.
Oh medicine tough, yes I get it. Oh engineering tough, yes I get it. Oh law tough, yes I get it. Oh Arts tough, you must be kidding me.
This is redundant and feels repetitive but the scale of it is so huge I feel there will never be the day when I stop telling people how the course is of so much more importance, and so much more difficulty, than they can ever, in their respective lifetimes, ever, think of.
Because it's not about learning how to organize events or advertise a product.
Because it's not about learning how to read news, or speak to another person over the phone.
It's about the humanities, sociology, semiotics, anthropology, philosophy, social sciences, media and cultural studies.
It's about Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Psychoanalysis, Auteur Theory, New Criticism, Postmodernism, Orientalism.
It's about Barthes, Freud, Foucault, Romantics, Derrida, Saussure, and so so so much more.
We do not want people to think of our course as the hardest of them all, because it is probably not true. All we want is for people to acknowledge our struggles, for it is as agonizing, if not more than any other courses out there. And maybe after that, we might just feel a tee wit better about what we are doing.
We don't need to go through the painstaking processes, only to have people devalue or belittle them later. Because that sucks and nobody understands. Nobody at all but us.
And on Monday I go to the battlefield alone. Fight the fight of my life against a raging frenzied beast and come back to my town wounded from head to toe and barely alive, only to have nobody welcoming my return in week-long parades, applauses, cheers, or even a simple welcoming drink.
Because in their minds, there was no raging frenzied beast, there was no need for a battle even, for my fight is of little significance, of trivial substance. For my fight is inferior to any other fights out there, for mine pales in comparison to any legendary acknowledged fights out there, and for I can never ever fight a tougher fight than the rest.
And ultimately no one is interested, no one cares, because their mindsets are fixed and stubborn. Because they don't feel they need to know the details of my fight, or the scale of it, because there was no raging frenzied beast, and the most violent foe or nemesis they could muster out of their limited knowledge, out of their minds which refuse to understand, stands inferior to even a housefly.
And so I walk to my home, alone, battle-wounded and sore, no one but me knowing the sacrifice I made, the danger I faced, the risks I took. No one knowing the details of how my hands almost got severed, how my body almost got permanently burnt, how I limped my way throughout the battle, or how I almost lost my right eye to the beast.
No one.. but me.

*grumble grumble
Okay this could sound annoying because it probably implies me thinking too much again.
But do you know the times when you suddenly think of something you regretted saying or doing so much you could feel the embarrassment so heightened like it just happened a few seconds ago?
I'm sure you do.
Well I have that occurrences like a lot, hen duo, banyak banyak, oh surprise surprise.
So anyway, the most recent one would be the flashback of the time during my very first tutorial in university last year, where we had to take turns introducing ourselves in a circle, in a fun way through answering several interesting questions.
The difficult thing would be how we were supposed to memorize and repeat everyone else's answers so the further we are from the beginning of the circle, the more we have to memorize.
One of the more interesting questions would be the color of the undergarment we were wearing at that present time(yeah my tutor quite the hamsap) and the funny thing would be how everyone had to repeat the color of everyone's undergarment over and over again as the circle gets bigger.
But that's not the question which affected me deeply strangely enough.
The one which left a scar in my memory box(wtf is that) would be the simple question of my favourite celebrity.
I had a tough time trying to think of one because knowing me, I like to be original and being somewhere in the middle of the circle certainly limits my capacity to be original because my favourite actor/singer would most probably be taken up by then.
So anyway, it was finally my turn and even by then when I started answering the questions one by one (the favourite celebrity was among the last few questions), I still hadn't thought of a celebrity to choose.
So the panicky me immediately reminded myself of the most recent favourite song or any particular nice song I can think of at that moment and just list out the person who sang that particular song.
Which wasn't a good choice to make at all.
Because the smart, intelligent me had a random thought on the song about Angels to which I muttered somewhat proudly..
"Robbie Williams"
NooooooooooOOOooOOoooooOoOOo.
While several girls and guys before or even after me had supercool personalities like Freddie Mercury and Ayumi Hamasaki respectively, I had a freaking British pop sensation. Not like that's a bad thing, but I'm a freaking guy the last time I checked and even Beyonce would be a better option me thinks.
But Robbie Williams? Wtf wtf.
He's like the ultimate sex icon for girls swooning over and all. Come on Alex, Robbie Williams?? Gaaah!
I think my tutorial mates were also in various states of disbelief.
Some immediately asked, "Robin, the actor, or Robbie?"
To which I proudly answered again, "Robbie."
Dammit knowing better I should have answered Robin. Argh.
So much for wanting to be original.
*slaps self
Well at least if it ever happens to me again, I probably would be more ready next semester. I'll say someone cool like Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.. or maybe not.
I'm sorry I wasted your time if you actually read through everything. Haha. But it was really troubling me okay. Zzz. I just had to get it out. *grumbles grumbles again.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Overcame strong currents, rough waves and consecutive tossing about but persisted through like a true champion and eventually risen from the adversity without a scratch.
My pen-drive is one heck of a fighter.
Survived the god-forbidding and imperil nature of the apocalyptic, deadly washing machine but still as fit as a fiddle, a computerized one, if that makes any sense at all.
On another totally irrelevant note,
A belated hello to...
omgz. omgz. omgz.
My very first console *wipes tear*.
I actually had a PS3 for a very short period but that is not counted because of the 'very short period' I had it for which amounts to.. never having it at all.
Bla, bla, bla to the Nintendo Wii being not suited for 'real' 'hardcore' gamers. Bla, bla, bla to lousier graphics and smaller memory capacity or other parallel things of little relevance.
I don't really care in the first place because for one, I never had a console to begin with so to hell with the hardcore gaming bull as I've never been 'hardcore' gamer before and I don't think I ever wanna be one. And besides, I still love my computer and playing games 'casual'-ly.
Two, I am not excited with the prospect of frantically pushing buttons on a controller for games because I was raised by my dad to think of that as a very absurd and erm, unintelligent thing to do. The Wii brings gaming to a whole new level. *swings imaginary remote
And thirdly, it's an extremely good party, casual gaming machine! Good bonding tool for family and friends alike. Yes you know you want to bond with me *raises eyebrow wtf
And oh yea, not forgetting you get to sweat while at it too. Regardless how insignificant your perspiration is as compared to playing real sports or hitting the gym, hey, at least it keeps your pulse racing even during your gaming times. Good for lazy arses like myself.
SO DARN EXCITING!
I got it like.. 1-2 weeks ago and the only downside to it is probably its games which costs a bomb if you want to buy games which come along with accessories, like a toy guitar for guitar hero etc but that applies to other consoles too I understand. And also due to my lack of console gaming in my lifetime, the first night I slept after playing I had a terrible headache omg T___T. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was about to puke or something. But thankfully I only suffered for that one night only.
And another downside is probably the fact that I showered 3 times for that one day I did nothing at all but play the Wii. ._.||
This device should make me a better host now. Hah.
Ok post much longer than I initially intended it to be.
And after all that, I have to remember somewhere at the back of my mind that I still got one more crucial exam paper to go next week. -______- super potong stim *grumble grumble*

Pest of the Day: Rats
I think there's a rat somewhere in my house.
Wait. Make that many, many rats.
It's not because my house is damn filthy or what. But it's the bloody electricity attic on top of the ceiling thingy lah.
Argh.
Yala damn geli I know so stay far far away thanks. Better for me since everybody knows how much I hate being the host and people coming into my private lair bwahaha. Sounds damn selfish I know. But I love my personal spaces tankiu veli mucho. Eventhough it could be rat-infested wtf.
Aih. I really really want to blog and post a non-filler post, i.e. finish my Japan Series photo collection(yes still got), and posting sexy pictures of myself(haha), but my main computer still cannot access to the internet and I'm damn lazy to transfer the files over via a pendrive.

Sleeping Hours: 18½
Started sleeping yesterday from..
7:00PM - 1:30PM.
No, I did not get the AM/PM wrong.
What? Try sleeping for literally zero hours the day before. But to be fair, I woke up all of a sudden at 2:00AM, then again at 7:00AM, both of which I forced myself back to sleep after tossing and turning about an hour for each on the bed.
A personal best, I think.
Very meaningless post but I gotta get it up somewhere.

Random Thoughts: Blogging
Sometimes I wonder when would be the day I finally stop 'penning' my thoughts onto this blog of mine.
It could 10 years time, next year, next week, or even tomorrow - I dunno.
My blog's so old the thought of it is almost incomprehensible. Will I still blog the day I get married, have kids, retire, and so on?
And what if my kids become old enough to be able to read my blog and go through my old posts one day. What will they think of their father omgz. Emotard whiny daddy. That doesn't sound good at all.
I was going through my archives(yes, again) and I discovered things I've already previously forgotten about! And that is the best part about blogging in my opinion. Reliving the memories of the past. ~_~
Leaving those random thoughts aside,
slightly busy period now. actually, one that has been going on for the past few weeks already. that's why I keep delaying some posts I should have posted long time ago. exams mah.
the internet connection on my main computer died on me, again.
my unhealthy sleeping habit is back. with a vengeance too.
worst semester ever gonna be all over soon *prepares confetti*
i really really hate mosquitoes. and any other pests for that matter. sorry son/daughter, i guess you have to ask your mother.

Yo yo yo.
Hello. el oh el.
Emcee-ing cousin's wedding dinner tonight. Kinda big deal as it's the very first cousin of my generation who's getting married.
If wedding emcees are to be fun, natural, interesting, smooth, and all of that and more incorporated into a smart-looking package, I'm a wedding emcee from a different planet - not in a good way.
Going outstation early tomorrow, technically later today(it's past midnight) and I'm still cool but not as cool as before.
Hopefully I'll rock the house.
Will tell if I did. If I don't, then you know how I did.
If anything, hope my friends are proud of me regardless of how I do. =)
Love you guys.
Peace out.

Scraped.
So I was messing around with my sister doing high-fashion couture catwalks ala Tyra Banks "fierce" style with music on an imaginary runway - men's walk if that's any consolation - and due to my over-enthusiasm and somewhat overboard "fierceness", I scraped my foot against the closet and I lost a little bit of skin. It's still hurting right now.
I have to say, Fergie's Clumsy is really a good song to catwalk too. el oh el. oh em gee.
Don't ask me why the random verging-on-queer catwalk. It must be the episode of ANTM I watched right before. And yes, I do watch ANTM.
Incredibly defensive reasons are as follow.
Firstly, I'm a self-confessed reality TV geek. That is, to a large extent, a very evident and self-explanatory statement. Secondly, it is very interesting indeed to see the results of the professional photoshoots and the typical 'rapidfire-like' American reality TV editing makes it exciting and... quite unfortunately, addictive. And the girls, of course, are really soothing on the eyes too.
Man, I can't believe I just revealed all that. I must be one heck of a really thick-skinned, beh paiseh(not embarrassed) person. Not smart, not smart, Alex.
Please also note that the point I am trying to make here is not the freaking walk which I made but the scraped foot. It is pretty painful. But to moan and whine somemore would only make me less of a man than I am presumably already very little of due to the model-ish catwalk revelation.
Guys, come onnnn, it was all in the name of fun?
:/
Perhaps it'll be fun to do it together one day. el oh el exclamation mark(x3).
You can start the "eeeee Alex" now if you haven't already.
In fact, I'm so appalled right now I'm going to start it myself. "eeee Alex. seriously. wtf."

Filler
I have quite a lot of things to blog about but I am not doing it because inspiration's at an ultimate low atm. Not like my redundant opinions are of any importance anywaaay.. right??? *sarcastic stare*
So here's the fastest and brief-est update ever(with color! for the extra 'zing'!) on alexycy.blogspot.com *takes deep breath*:-
Uni semester's coming to an end soon and there is absolutely no time to be emotional about it - reasons pretty freaking clear. I'm going to be the emcee for my cousin's wedding; sure it's glamorous and exciting and all but it's coming so soon and I am having incredibly cold feet atm. Syesha Mercado ftw; I don't mind anyone winning tbh, would love for her to defy the odds stacking against her but kudos to her anyway for "living her dream" - hope she does well in her life. Extremely loving couples or arguing couples who choose to do their stuff in the university library should find a private place to do their private stuff; in other words, get a freaking room - and no, it has nothing to do with jealousy. And here it goes, I am going to be sporting and congratulate ManU for winning the EPL this season - even though it is pretty undeniable there were a lot of luck going on for the team in the process and on the other freaking hand, a lot of luck going against the Arse whole season long and those are events which you wouldn't want me to list out, "fans" of ManU, trust me you don't. Dodgy refereeing decisions, the only team to play on a non-sucky originally sucky pitch which other 19 away teams played on? Come on. But like I said, I am going to be sporting and the sporting me is going to congratulate them ;). Best team this season? Hey - not too sure about that. But congratulations, nonetheless. :/ I hate my "new" printer for being crappy and making me, or my sister rather, waste money on the crappy cartridges which became crappily empty after one freaking day of usage of printing nothing at all. Long story. This isn't that brief afterall. :| Crap, I have to learn to be less.. expressive. Queer, huh?
That should be all. Thank you for your kind attention.
p/s: "Legend" (like, the map, you know? Legend for maps?? Oh my gawd, I'm so American, and funny. Bwahaha.):-
tbh - to be honest
atm - at the moment
ftw - for the win
EPL - English Premier League
*sidenote*(dunno where to add this bit): sorry for the messy color coordinations. I'm colorblind/deficient afterall.. in case you don't know or hasn't realized yet.
zing - wtf is zing.
Thank you once again.

Starstruck at MDG Grand Finale!
No spoilers here no worries but it's not like you haven't heard from somewhere else already anyway. =/
Anyway, I managed to take photos with some finalists of the Malaysian Dreamgirl(MDG) reality show!! Wahahaha I think I am incredibly too easy to be pleased.. damn easy to be star-struck wtf. Anyone who I deem as "personalities" in their own respective ways I immediately become so star-struck when they appear beside me. I mean.. they're somewhat fehmes right.. got fanbase(no matter how small) and all.. so yeah la. hehehe.
So to make you all jealous(hahaha like you will lah eh actually maybe some of you will hmmm *grins*), here are some very-bad-quality photos I took with the girls! Stupid camera phone. Shud have brought my DSLR. Gaah!
And oh yea I need to make a special mention to Karina who became my cam-whore partner with the models lol.
Thanks Sze for taking the photos for us!
And also, I think I'll post some photos of the contestants when they were in the competition la to 'make value' the photos I took with them lol.
Anyway here they are:-
A photo with Rihanna. Hahaha nola duh but Msian version of Rihanna. She may not be the most attractive in person but seriously her modeling photos damn good/geng/yeng model material lor. Here's one:-
Next,
Caption 'strategically' placed to block out my bulging tummy. Hoho. Jadi! She's a Top 3 Finalist btw. And YALA I KNOW SHE'S ONE HEAD TALLER THAN ME BUT I'M NOT THE MODEL HERE RIGHT RAWR! Here's her 'bright-and-shiny' photoshoot:-
Last one.. yah 3 only can sorry la! too shy T_T
Okay I look everything like a stressed out and exhausted over assignments boy here(damn crappy crap) but don't care la die die must show off also wtf. She was my favourite in the beginning. And she is very very pretty in person! Of Chinese-Malay parentage if I'm not mistaken. Here's a picture of her I can already imagine on those Wella Hair-Dye product boxes:-
And also also since I'm on a roll wtf, I shall talk about the other fehmes celebrities I spotted at the event!
Actually abit regret la I was damn shy when they were all socializing downstairs and they were damn near la.. so I didn't get to take photos with the ones I wanted to. Not only the girls/contestants la.. but also fehmes bloggers like ShaolinTiger(damn big ang moh), Pinkpau(damn regret), Ringo(is she counted? dunno where to place her hmmm cause she's both a contestant and a fehmes blogger for those who dunno crap too much words in a bracket -___-) and Kenny whom Sze Jia took with though.
I did a little Alex's 'Celebrity' Hunt but I only ended up with very lousy candid photos of some popular bloggers and Jonathan Putra(TV Personality).. so not worth posting. The others I 'spotted' ended up on stage anyways :/
So maybe I shall now post some photos of the event itself. I also took some videos but don't feel like uploading videos now so next time maybe.
And oh oh before that I have to say that the 3 girls I took the photos with were very very nice indeed! ~_~
Okay roll the photos.
The Stage/Runway.
The contestants' catwalk.
Kenny Sia, Elaine Daly, Jimmy Lim - the 3 judges. Elaine was the emcee for the event and I have to say she was very good indeed. Okla damn boring Alex so 'uncritical' everything also damn good, nice or pretty one. But speaking about pretty, Elaine Daly was within touching distance(I waved at her and she waved AND smiled back haha) and she was really sizzling hawt rawr! Okay maybe not sizzling sizzling but really very... beautiful? no.. gorgeous? not quite there.. urgh can't avoid the word. p-r-e-t-t-y.

Psycho
Okay the ignorant me never knew that the 1998 movie was actually a remake of a 1960 Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece.
That is why when my lecturer said that we were about to watch "Psycho" during lecture I wasn't particularly jumping out of my seat. What was there to critically 'analyze' anyway?
And hey, as embarrassing as it sounds, it was the 1998 one which had permanently traumatized me till, to a certain extent, today. Because of that 'infamous' shower scene, I rarely, or never ever use the shower curtains when I use the bath tubs in hotels - yes it's true. So I definitely do not want to be re-traumatized again if you know what I mean. It took me a little while to get over it and I'm almost there and I cannot possibly imagine spending another 10 years trying to live past the trauma again.
And then again, the 1998 movie wasn't really some work to behold in the first place isn't it? I mean, even after watching the remade version first, as much as I remember, I still feel it pales in comparison to the 1960 one which I never even knew existed before today. :/
But now I know.
Considering the period the movie was made, and after reading the trivia section in its imdb page, all I can say is wow - seriously, what a great movie this is!
The music is classic, and the extent in which Hitchcock went through to pass the movie of as 'real' as possible is really admirable.
Okay it wasn't really that scary maybe it startled me a few times now and then (during the scenes when we all know something is about to happen) but when "it" actually happened, it was actually pretty funny.
But regardless of anything, its idea, script, cinematography and Hitchcock's own personal flavor to it is really compelling to say the least.
To better value and realize the "workmanship" of the movie, we all have to always keep a mental note somewhere at the back of our minds that at that period, psychological thrillers like Psycho was virtually non-existent. If anything, the "horror/thriller" genre would comprise of vampires and werewolves and things of that sort. I wouldn't be surprised if the movie is actually accredited for influencing the existence of other psychological thrillers we have in abundance today.
On the whole, a very good movie. Certainly goes up to my personal list of the 'Top 10 Best Movies of All Time', if there's such a list that is.

Scary
You know what's scary?
Like assignment/tests are not scary by themselves already.
What's scarier is that... I have almost every week one due until the semester ends!
OMG!
I was like as usual right, being the very "organized" me(*haha*), noting down the dates and deadlines on my phone's calendar and then only I realized how sucky my remaining time of this semester is gonna be T_T
Cause right as usual I'll be looking for the period where I can relax but I couldn't find any T_T
By the time I can finally relax, my semester would be as good as over already T_T
T_T
How lah to enjoy my uni days like that.
And even then I cannot really relax because I have exams right after. And I also need to mention that my exam dates totally suck!
I have one relatively early paper on the 12th of June then another on the 23rd! OH THE WAIT FOR NOTHING AT ALL! SUMMORE THE PAPER ON THE 23RD IS A SUBJECT I HAVE VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN! HOW TO RELAX?!! T_T
And, the later my exam ends, the shorter my holiday!
And I think I've only got like 3 weeks of break/"holiday" until my Sem 2 begins. But like I told Liang, the beginning of my second semester this year would probably be the relaxing part I seek la. Guess I can only enjoy my uni days next sem then T_T!
And also, my idea of break is actually to sleep-in at home one. The more sleep and rest I get, the better and more efficient the break is for me. Yes yes what a lazy idea measuring through my idle-ness but that's me la okay.
But the thing is.. because of the short break and this thing I'm gonna shortly mention after... I don't think I'll get that this break at all! Cause if I'm not mistaken, I will be going overseas for some family trip and to attend my brother's convocation!
Which also can be interpreted as...
NO SLEEP-INS ALEXEO!!!
GAAAAHH *pulls hair wildly*
I think I'll be real restless come early next sem. Because of my apparent lack of "break."
Oklah I think I better sleep now. I dunno what am I doing staying up also. And I also think I've shed too much tears writing this post T_T

No one likes reading other people's emo stuff because everyone has their own pre-existing issues to deal with already.
*points to title* Yep, it's true.
Anyway I've finally completed and submitted my very very long and exhausting international studies assignment on the International Criminal Court. Yes cue the yawns.
When I was at somewhere 2/3rd of my essay, my brain literally felt... "dry". Omg. Really man. Any sort of juices be it creative or intellectual ones were completely dried off at that moment of time and I could actually feel it. That feeling totally sucks and it's the ultimate case of all ultimate cases of severe writer's block.
So I likened my assignment-writing to driving a car with an empty tank (if you actually bothered to read my personal message on Windows Live that is).
Cause its true! I had nothing in my mind working and I was just forcefully 'vomiting out' sentence after sentence and then the attempt to make it look coherent and 'flowy' was only done as a process of itself later.
Hey my "car" barely moved and I had some distance to go but I was patiently pushing through foot-by-foot knowing that if I just keep going regardless of the rate I was moving, I would eventually reach the destination and so I did T_T omg so inspiring.
Very torturous. In fact these 2-3 weeks would be and are very torturous for me. :(
I have 2 more assignments due this Friday and they're all like damn many words lah WTF LA ARGH@@#$@%@!!
What a rude awakening Year 2 is. Last year the bunch of us had our lecturers patiently coaxing us and we started off like systematically with easier assignments with less word counts and then only moved on to the "heavier" ones later in the semester which weren't so "heavy" anyway now that I think of it.
But this time no fore-warning for you LOSERS!!! 2500 word essays as your first assignments and how about having all of them due almost at the same time?!!! BWAHAHAHA!!
As you can see, I've gone slightly mental.
If anything, I think it's the lack of sleep I had today and yesterday. Yes I blame the lack of sleep. 10am isn't a really good time to crawl to your bed, is it? Especially if you have classes couple of hours later. Must-not-get-used-to-it-alex-yeo!
After this week and hopefully come sometime mid-next week, I'll be a much.. lighter man with much.. lighter burdens.
Come on Alex. Think of the destination!

Another Passing Eclipse
I left a big cut in another friendship today.
At this rate of open wounds I'm causing, I predict my future lonely hermit status to be brought forward another 5 years to an estimate age of 30 years-old.
The ugly, permanent, scars it'll become.
You know, I really shouldn't be caring about all these things at the moment. But it's hard to ignore when it's one heck of a serious case of bad timing. Everything coming together from all directions at the same time... you know that sort? I'm sure you do.
My assignment which I need to prioritize is currently lying at the bottom of the list for some weird, unfathomable reason.
*
It takes more than what I currently have to be sincere in my apologies but if it makes anyone feel any better, I am sorry. But until I find the day to achieve that sincerity(which can also be interpreted as knowing exactly what I did wrong), I guess everyone will just have to live with that.
And yet I still insist it's never always only my fault. It is a two-sided thing, it always is.
I am so internally-stressed now it's not funny anymore. It doesn't really show outside and that's the scary bad part of it. I won't be surprised if I fall sick anytime soon. Item on checklist #34765: Improve mental strength.
Like everyone else(I believe), I want the old Alex back too.
Believe me, I do.

Post = A little bit of (this + that)
Hola Amigos!
.
.
.
I'm so mathematically expressive wtf (refers to title of post).
I am actually blogging without a fixed conscience of what I want to rant about today so this is cool.
*thinks of any possible but but highly unlikely interesting events which occurred recently to me hmm*
Okay I think this is interesting enough.
I attended many interesting talks/seminars in my uni recently!
Okay there was Lat the popular Msian cartoon artist(who I thought was somewhat overrated before lol sorry fanatics, but not now! grr) and then there was a Burmese refugee who came to my migration unit's lecture to give a talk on his experiences of himself and other refugees in this country oh so wonderfully contrasting but yet fascinating in their little own ways.
"Lat", for the ignorant few. Albeit being only a comic character, I still feel and thinks that picture doesn't do Lat justice for some reason something wrong with me wtf.
.
.
.
Nothing to say liao.
Shit I'm so lousy at this..
Perhaps it's time for another Japan Series(sounds strangely wrong but nvm)!
I shall call this "Japan Series #3.5" because it isn't really DISTINCTIVELY MAJOR enough to feature in a post by itself.. or maybe it is. Well here it is anyway!
Japan Series #3.5

BWAHAHA DAMN SIMILAR RITE RITE RITE?!!
THE "REAL" CARTOON SHIN CHAN FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES!
HAHAHAHAHAHA ADMIT IT LAH.
I didn't actually notice the similarities until I got home and started browsing the photos I took and it was then I stumbled upon that photo of that boy sheltering himself from the freezing winter who was in some sort of a field-trip presumably with his other classmates in Tokyo Disneyland!
There were other photos of the kids which turned out quite good too in the album but I shall consider if I want to post them up potentially as a series in itself on this blog or not. Due to erm,..... several reasons which might limit me wanting to do so. Shaddup sickos. Omg I can't believe I even thought of that. Sigh what is wrong with you Alex.
Okay I'd like to talk about my assignment now. HAHAHAHA.
Nola I know how whiny I might have sounded when I actually talk about my assignments lololol. But on a serious note, seriously lor. I have it like due and I am not even... doing it. I'm planning to hand up a day or two later than it is due.. = ( sigh it's not easy to understand where I'm coming from okayyyy? = (
Instead, I spent the whole day re-layouting and re-viving my long dead and abandoned high school class blog!!
A preview of my 'very detailed' and 'elaborated' class blog.
-_____-
Something wrong with me seriously.
Then now that I've spent so much time on it(trial and error templates, uploading, etc) I suddenly have the obligations to "look after it" and "check it out" more than usual??
And besides, I don't know if this is another thing wrong with me but it can be fun reading how people from oh so different backgrounds perceive a certain thing differently!
Oh and on another note, argh *cringes* I really cannot stand people with pretentious and fake accents! Particularly in classes. In one of the seminars someone came out with this omg so obviously faked accent and my bulu roma all actually stood up!! That was how serious it was!! T__T
But ON THAT NOTE, I dunno why-leh but I seem to have it also when I try to talk seriously!! I think it's because I am damn scared to make a mistake and when I try so overly hard to articulate and pronounce my words so perfectly, a pretentious geli accent actually comes out of it! =-O
Sigh must change. But then do I now purposely go and sound 'Malaysian'? I mean that's a horrible accent in itself too... Oh dilemmas, dilemmas.
=/
They say I have a wee-bit tendency to over-think things.
Hmmm.

ENH2407
It was the usual case of Assignment Anxiety all over again.
The more I proofread my work, the more erroneous and worst it gets.
Happens without fail. Nothing in my life gets more definite and indisputable than that.
It became so bad that the final skim-through had me cringing through just to get to the last page.
But when the assignment submission box is within touching distance next to you, all you could do and muster at that particular point is to forcefully shift your mind to something else for that few vacuum-like seconds, drop your assignment in and walk off as quickly as possible from that spot which you had probably occupied for the last many minutes you spent doing nothing but flipping your papers front and back, which wouldn't change anything at all, really. And you know that. But anything for a sense of closure and satisfaction at that point.
No question, the toughest and most tedious assignment I had ever done in my whole very limited but still evident, university career.
It strikes you when all which seemed to move isn't your pathetic looking word count but time.
It strikes you when you go to bed at freaking 10am in the freaking morning and skip two classes on two different days and it has something to do with your assignment.
And even after all that, there is no closure.
There is no satisfaction.
Welcome to University.

But when the assignment submission box is within touching distance next to you, all you could do and muster at that particular point is to forcefully shift your mind to something else for that few vacuum-like seconds, drop your assignment in and walk off as quickly as possible from that spot which you had probably occupied for the last many minutes you spent doing nothing but flipping your papers front and back, which wouldn't change anything at all, really. And you know that. But anything for a sense of closure and satisfaction at that point.
No question, the toughest and most tedious assignment I had ever done in my whole very limited but still evident, university career.
It strikes you when all which seemed to move isn't your pathetic looking word count but time.
It strikes you when you go to bed at freaking 10am in the freaking morning and skip two classes on two different days and it has something to do with your assignment.
And even after all that, there is no closure.
There is no satisfaction.
Welcome to University.

Anti Center of Attention
I hate it when the spotlight's on me.
So many times, I just want to sink and disappear beneath the shadows of the party, and morph with the surrounding walls, much to no avail though most of the time.
But when it happens, "it" being me getting forcefully shone under the bright glare of the spotlight, it usually turns out not as bad as I typically imagined it to be.
I am (and believe will be) a behind-the-scenes person.
a.k.a the-shy-one lah.
pathetic-nya. so much for being an arts/communication/international studies student.
Today you learn another thing about me. yay congrats good for u.

The Only Consolation of the Day
Taken in the university's carpark. [09.04.08]
A heart-shaped puddle <3.
-alexeO-
Heart-wrenched but Not Completely Devastated
Gutted, but it just had to happen isn't it? Every single thing going against our way.
Before the game, Richmond C was asking me if he should stay up and watch the game. This was my reply.
me: then watch la
me: watch how decisions all go against arsenaL again
me: watch how we deserved to win the 4th encounter with the same team
me: AGAIN
me: but somehow
me: something just wont jadi for us
I guess there is nothing much left to say other than the fact that the semi-final spot was robbed from us so evidently that it is almost laughable. This is not a mere biased remark coming only from me, but from every single source and people who watched the match I have come across thus far. Even Gerrard the Liv captain himself couldn't directly reply the question on whether his team deserved it or not.
The most heartbreaking thing was how it looked like we were going through already with 7 mins to go and then boom. One minute later, a controversial penalty decision awarded to the opposing team fairly softly. And then suddenly everyone remembers the tug by Kuyt on Hleb last week in the penalty box and the incomprehensibility of how a penalty was not given for such an obvious foul.
We were the better team over the 2 legs but I guess that's football. It doesn't matter if a team deserves it or not, all that matter are the results at the end of the day.
Everyone praised Arsenal's football last night but it doesn't matter does it. How people hope we win the league now etc etc for our football but I guess that doesn't alter the fact that we clearly underachieved for all our beautiful football this season. Not because we didn't deserve it, but how luck and decisions all went against us every single time. By luck I mean injuries, refereeing decisions, and the sorts.
One thing's for sure at least, the Liv fans and others who trashtalk now about how Arsenal lost last night are clearly the "superficial fans" I ranted about a few posts ago.
But thankfully thus far I hadn't come across any yet.
A special thanks for the moral 'support' from fans of other clubs who all exclaimed how unlucky we were and all. It means something. One consolation I could get is that we clearly showed our quality and what we are made of last night.
If we win this weekend's EPL match, then the tiny flicker of hope for silverware suddenly becomes that much brighter. But even if we don't, with the young team we have, we have already done so much better than last season. Signs of more things to come in the seasons to come. And then I guess it'll be till next season then.
But for now, come on you gunners.

"I am Fine" is the World's Biggest Lie
Just when all seemed smooth-flowing and 'tranquil' again, you just know that something you do not wish to happen will happen just because it will and it must for whatever reason it might be.
Be it a philosophical scientifical natural law thing of the way the world operates or some intellectually-moulded or mere 'biased' religious assertion, it WILL just happen.
That is why when someone answers "I am fine" to an over-asked insincere(like the other person really cares) "How are you?", that person who answered is lying(as much as the person who asked was, but that's another topic in itself reserved for another day). The sole reason being, no one in this world can be or feel fine. Because, one reason being the impossibility of everything going 100% for a particular someone and another reason suggesting that 'being fine' itself is already so subjective that one's fine may differ from another fine. Someone may have his house burned down or his dogs kidnapped and that could be fine for him but for another, at least for me, it isn't 'fine'.
And besides, if we were to generalise 'fine' on an international worldwide scale, the word wouldn't even exist anymore because we will never come to a general consensus on what fine is. Like I said previously, no one will be satisfyingly, fine because for one, nothing goes 100% for anyone even if you're Bill Gates and secondly, even if it somehow seems and looks 100% smooth-flowing for that particular someone (which will never happen because that's just the way it is), that particular someone will NEVER feel the same way cause we are all humans and we are weak in that way. The never-feeling-satisfied way.
However sad that could sound, it's the truth. Face it.
So I've drifted a great deal from what I wanted to say originally about nothing going 100%(at least for me you living-in-denial prick).
Oh, how right I was.
Yesterday, my Internet connection at home went kaput for NO reason at all.
I'm 200% positive that my modem is perfectly fine but for some annoying reason I just cannot access the Internet.
Very, very annoying.
Which proves my 'depressing' theory all the more.
I'm now blogging from my university's "library and learning commons" and it's a struggle because I've got to switch to a new browser or minimize the page immediately when someone walks behind me. Now now, you certainly do not want anyone anonymous from your university to be reading your blog, would you? Or even knowing you are blogging at the library you pathetic loser for god's sake, for that matter..
I'm hoping now that miraculously my Internet connection somehow gets revived when I go home later as exceptionally as how it died. But experience and being Alex Yeo tells me otherwise.
Ok. Excuse me now while I go 'check my university email' for the 999th time.

Wasn't Busy
Short hiatus not because I was busy, but because there wasn't anything interesting to talk about. No dreams recently about scary mathematical questions or teachers alike, unfortunately.
The only thing I could possible have been busy at was YouTube and some in my shoes might post videos on this blog during my little hiatus but I find that a little.. 'cheating' don't you think? Like posting filler posts with videos and all. Not like anyone will click and watch them anyway. But then again, it's not like anyone really read what I says here ANYWAY. So.. life sucks for me.
It's April now and from next week onwards, make that.. tomorrow(judging by the time of post), I'll be as busy as a cow. Like damn busy lah. Cow's not the appropriate animal to be used here but I DONT CARE ALREADY LA CAN WHY AM I EVEN DEFENDING MYSELF SO MANY TIMES HERE GAH SO ANNOYING (AND I USED 'CAN' ZZZ).
Ok anyway. Yes yes. Busy.
Cause I'll have an assignment due on the coming Friday and then again on the consecutive 2 more Fridays and then and then I'll have like a mini break from work and then class test and all coming in after that! *exhales*
Fuiyoh so stress and busy.
I'll probably post Japan Series #3 next or something pictorial-ish unless I have something interesting to update on suddenly. Maybe some interesting dream again later or something else..
I just realised I'm posting like I'm some big-shot blogger la. Hahaha. This is so unnecessary seriously. I'm supposed to blog anything I want at anytime I want la! It's my prerogative right right right?? I mean for example if I emo ma emo lor.. my blog maaaa.. Zzz.
BUT that aside, perhaps it's healthy to once in a while imagine yourself as an established someone else..! not in blogging la maybe but in whatever else profession it might be.
Okay getting unnecessarily philosophical and preachy.
So for now, goodbye my readers.
Goodbye my 'huge following'~

Hello, Sunshine!
I woke up damn early today damn proud of myself! 12.30pm to be exact! =D
But because of that I'm freaking tired now can?? :( My eyes are like blurry for some reason and I am sooooo super tempted to lie on the bed and like take a nap or something.
But Joe told me not to so I shall tahan and go to bed early today and be a fresh uni undergrad tomorrow for my lecture bwahahaha!
Okla one of the reasons why I got out of bed early was that I had a super weird dream omg. But I already memang wanted to wake up earlier today so that I could go to bed earlier tonight because my semester resumes tomorrow...
But anyway, the dream was damn weird! I think I finally found something which can wake me up!
All I've got to do is...
.
.
.
... think about mathematics!!
Omg! I seriously dreamt of this slightly-past-middle-aged man(can't remember chinese or indian) who was balding and was teaching me maths!!! AHHHH!
One of my worst nightmares can!
The teacher firstly wasn't very friendly... and to top it off, he was teaching me Trigonometric Function!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON"T EVEN KNOW WHY THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC BUT IT JUST HAPPENED!!!
Actually he wasn't just teaching me alone.. it was like a classroom.. bore a very similar resemblance to my Form 5 classroom and there were other students too but I don't remember who they are.
Hello if you ask me to tell you anything about trigonometric function now I can tell you nuts ok?? But the stuff which was taught in the dream... omg it all was real and made sense!!! I suddenly remembered all the stuff I learnt in Form 5!
T_______T
And then I suddenly woke up due to thinking too much because I remember I was cracking my head trying to figure a question out!! :-O (because the stupid teacher was going so fast I only had time to copy down and barely understand and only had time to read back and TRY to understand during the little intervals I had.)
And then I just lay there on my bed feeling super fresh. My alarm clock didn't even ring yet so I tried continuing my sleep but I couldn't.. then I wondered what was wrong because on normal days I would be feeling so tired everytime i ter-wake up then I thought about my dream..
Then to test it out, I thought of whatever little bits I could think about mathematics and omg I could feel my brains waking up again all of a sudden.
WOW SO CANGGIH. BETTER THAN COFFEE CAN.
And then I just got out of bed la. But now feeling damn tired la hahaha.
I think what could be the reason behind my trigonometric function dream was that the night before on my computer, I spotted a photo of my Form 5 maths teacher teaching that particular topic la(it was written on the board).. so, yeah.. that could be the reason. But that photo didn't realistically TEACH me anything right?? But! I could comprehend everything which was taught in the dream.. HMMMM. And who was that man?! His face was so clear... ~_~
Strangest ever.
Lala.
Eh today's Pooch Cafe comic strip very... nostalgic? Don't think that's the word but what the heck.
Reminds me of someone man.. but dunno who can't think of it now. It's probably myself for all I know.
Hmm.

I was adorable once.
I was reading Pei Huan's sentimental post on her ex-classmates and there were some photos of myself and some others which I found really funny!! I actually looked ... innocent!
*_*
So I started my little hunt for old school photos(no pun intended) and here are some from what I found~
WOULD
standing middle row right-side guy. dem lengchai. (2003-14 going on 15)
YOU
front row left-side guy. (2003-14 going on 15)
JUST
TE and I. One thing I remember from this photo is that my pants was really really tight that day which probably explains why I am not in a squat position. (2004-15 going on 16)
LOOK
far right-side guy. not so lengchai anymore. (2004-15 going on 16)
AT
Ergh. A 'Kodak-moment' of a supposedly drunken-state me but I wasn't I'm sure.. Positive! (2004-15 going on 16)
ME???!!
Standing far right-side guy. Sup y'all. I am the cool. (2004-15 going on 16)
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
ok. self-narcissism ends here.
edit:- just for the record, here is a photo I found of myself taken in 2005(which JL had proudly posted on his blog when he wasn't supposed to pfft). Was 16 going on 17.
The guy in the middle.
I think I actually looked older in the very first photo. Okla not really but I certainly looked fresher in the first photo! Hmmm.
ok now self-narcissism REALLY ends here.

=D ---> A Wide Smile
I sounded so whiny and angry in the previous post I just had to post a new post just to push it down.
I wanna be cheerful and happy and live in denial weeee!
.
.
Hmmmm.
I'm currently right in the middle of my "break" now and so far, it has been the most unproductive break I ever had in my life.
I'm sleeping and waking up at the wrong hours again and the only thing I do waking up is typing and clicking away on my computer.
Before the break, I thought I would either be going out a lot or spending time doing my assignments or readings but hey, what do you know, it came down to neither.
It could be an aftermath from my first four mentally-draining and exhausting weeks of university but then again, I think it's just me.
As a result I get so tired everyday it's so bad! T_T
Oh well.

DDDDL
I am so hurt, upset and disappointed right now I cannot hold myself in.
After the match was over, I just sat in front of my TV stunned and I really really couldn't move at all. If possible, I felt like wanting just to stay at that same position for the next 24 hours or so.
It was that bad. Even till now, I cannot take away these emotions of mine which is pissing me off so so much.
I simply cannot comprehend how Arsenal converted a 5 point lead in the EPL to being 6 points behind the current leaders.
The worst thing was that it wasn't anyone who took the title away from the Arse but themselves.
Form last 5 games? DDDDL.
What a heck of shitload.
How can a team challenging for the title possibly achieve such despicable results. With all due respect, it could very well be Derby's record for the last 5 games or something.
What is it about playing attractive football when we cannot even win games? What is wrong with the players who defend so badly and look useless in front of goal?
I hate blaming the team for losses I really do but if there are so many games which we have underperformed in, it has to be no one else's fault but the team's.
Defensive wise we were to be honest very very bad whole season long and even our goals have started to dry up upfront. Even luck wasn't to be on our side as taking an example for the last game, we lost to an offside goal.
The latest round of games almost looked as though the players don't possess the character to win games anymore. Players standing there letting opponents challenge them blindly and waiting for the ball to reach them instead of actually going for the ball is so disappointing to see.
My support will always be with the team but it is about time they payback the trust of the fans imbued onto them in the form of goals and wins.
Maybe the squad lack depth. That is probably why we look visibly tired in the run of the last few games. Maybe it's the loss of form, I dunno.
Whatever it could be, it better get rectified fast. Or whatever last tiny glimpses of the EPL title could very well be brushed off.
And now the best thing coming out from this. Fans of the 'other teams' will start their pathetic array of laughs and mockeries.
Which irritates me alot really.
Not because it is a law that no one should insult and hurt another but it amounts to the simple fact being that most of these people I speak of involve the pathetic 'fans'.
They are to put it simply, fake with a capital F.
They know nothing about football and hardly anything about their team yet have the nerve to laugh at another opposing team's fan's fate.
Just because that particular team they support has been winning recently and all, SUDDENLY they become their biggest fan and whoever their "team" defeats, they will act like its their responsibility to laugh and mock the other team's fans whoever they may be.
Look. Firstly, you are freaking pathetic already for supporting that "team" of yours whom you only know from recent successes.
Secondly, you may be laughing at someone whom know better of the team you actually support than you yourself.
The joke's on you pathetic cunt. Get a life, seriously. Than supporting that team of yours just to mock other people.
And honestly, the true fans of the team you mock wouldn't care because secretly inside, they are the ones laughing at you and shaking their heads sadly inside at your pathetic doings. It will only result into you bringing the oh-so-great reputation of your team down at the end of the day. But hey, then again, you wouldn't care right? Since you wouldn't have any 'true' feelings for the club you 'support' in the first place.
And now I bet everyone is going to say, "so what makes YOU a 'true' fan?"
Could it be the 'genuine' sincerity I feel for the team at every win, every loss? Or for the very fact I have been watching their matches in the strange hours of the day without fail? Or the time and money I have greatly spent on the team? Or the years I have been behind the team?
It could be everything and more and I don't feel the need to justify anything because at the end of the day, I believe everyone will know for themselves deep down inside.
And oh yea, if you still claim you are a true fan and thus have every right to mock another team's fan, then so be it. But at least be willing to accept the opposing team's own piece of mockeries towards your team and statements rather than being childish and just insult for the sake of it without hearing their piece.
I will be mature enough to say that Arsenal simply wasn't good enough for the past few run of games and I hope 'you' will be mature enough to STFU and concentrate on your own team rather than finding the time to criticise others thanks.
You probably wouldn't care but hey, people do have feelings you know. At least the true fans would.
Thank you for your time.
Feeling much better now.
/end rant.

After the match was over, I just sat in front of my TV stunned and I really really couldn't move at all. If possible, I felt like wanting just to stay at that same position for the next 24 hours or so.
It was that bad. Even till now, I cannot take away these emotions of mine which is pissing me off so so much.
I simply cannot comprehend how Arsenal converted a 5 point lead in the EPL to being 6 points behind the current leaders.
The worst thing was that it wasn't anyone who took the title away from the Arse but themselves.
Form last 5 games? DDDDL.
What a heck of shitload.
How can a team challenging for the title possibly achieve such despicable results. With all due respect, it could very well be Derby's record for the last 5 games or something.
What is it about playing attractive football when we cannot even win games? What is wrong with the players who defend so badly and look useless in front of goal?
I hate blaming the team for losses I really do but if there are so many games which we have underperformed in, it has to be no one else's fault but the team's.
Defensive wise we were to be honest very very bad whole season long and even our goals have started to dry up upfront. Even luck wasn't to be on our side as taking an example for the last game, we lost to an offside goal.
The latest round of games almost looked as though the players don't possess the character to win games anymore. Players standing there letting opponents challenge them blindly and waiting for the ball to reach them instead of actually going for the ball is so disappointing to see.
My support will always be with the team but it is about time they payback the trust of the fans imbued onto them in the form of goals and wins.
Maybe the squad lack depth. That is probably why we look visibly tired in the run of the last few games. Maybe it's the loss of form, I dunno.
Whatever it could be, it better get rectified fast. Or whatever last tiny glimpses of the EPL title could very well be brushed off.
And now the best thing coming out from this. Fans of the 'other teams' will start their pathetic array of laughs and mockeries.
Which irritates me alot really.
Not because it is a law that no one should insult and hurt another but it amounts to the simple fact being that most of these people I speak of involve the pathetic 'fans'.
They are to put it simply, fake with a capital F.
They know nothing about football and hardly anything about their team yet have the nerve to laugh at another opposing team's fan's fate.
Just because that particular team they support has been winning recently and all, SUDDENLY they become their biggest fan and whoever their "team" defeats, they will act like its their responsibility to laugh and mock the other team's fans whoever they may be.
Look. Firstly, you are freaking pathetic already for supporting that "team" of yours whom you only know from recent successes.
Secondly, you may be laughing at someone whom know better of the team you actually support than you yourself.
The joke's on you pathetic cunt. Get a life, seriously. Than supporting that team of yours just to mock other people.
And honestly, the true fans of the team you mock wouldn't care because secretly inside, they are the ones laughing at you and shaking their heads sadly inside at your pathetic doings. It will only result into you bringing the oh-so-great reputation of your team down at the end of the day. But hey, then again, you wouldn't care right? Since you wouldn't have any 'true' feelings for the club you 'support' in the first place.
And now I bet everyone is going to say, "so what makes YOU a 'true' fan?"
Could it be the 'genuine' sincerity I feel for the team at every win, every loss? Or for the very fact I have been watching their matches in the strange hours of the day without fail? Or the time and money I have greatly spent on the team? Or the years I have been behind the team?
It could be everything and more and I don't feel the need to justify anything because at the end of the day, I believe everyone will know for themselves deep down inside.
And oh yea, if you still claim you are a true fan and thus have every right to mock another team's fan, then so be it. But at least be willing to accept the opposing team's own piece of mockeries towards your team and statements rather than being childish and just insult for the sake of it without hearing their piece.

Untitled Post #393
4th week of the semester looms and I'm already lagging behind.
Please start working already Alex Yeo Chia Yuan!
So much to read, so many things to do, so little time!
I think I've finally discovered why. It all amounts to the lack of sleep I have. The very reasons behind me feeling like crap for an entire day which could be very much more productive.
I can't be productive because I'll be tired like a dog for the whole day thus making me just wanting to crawl back home and do unproductive, non energy-sapping things like spending my time on the computer dwelling in cyberspace. Then I'll remain seated at the very same spot till the early hours in the morning and the cycle continues.
I think it's time for a change.
*semangat*

There Always Has To Be Something
So this morning felt perfect when I parked my car at the uni carpark at a reasonably nice spot eventhough I did not have sufficient hours of sleep the night before which made it actually quite a surprising feeling to feel at that point of time even for myself.
It got even more 'perfect' when I strolled into class thinking of how to hide my face like always when I realised there is not even a need to hide my face at all because the lecturer wasn't even there yet!
For the very first time, I was earlier than the lecturer for a lecture this year!
So I tucked myself comfortably behind a seat and said my hellos and his to my abundance of hi-bye friends feeling pleased and contented with myself.
The lecturer walked in, which I smiled 'greetingly' to as well but she didn't notice of course, considering that I was just 'another student' of the many students in the lecture hall, but I didnt care because that morning felt so perfect nothing could possibly ruin the little moment of sunshine I was in.
The lecture slides were then projected on the screen. People were taking out their notebooks and pens which prompted me to search for my own.
Sunk my hands into my bag, no sign of any notebook in place.
Scrambled my sunken hands around the insides of my bag, no notebook.
No. Notebook. ?
Repeatedly told self that "this is not happening" while searching intensely with eyes, still no notebook.
The only essential item of mine for university which I write every single stuff and depend thoroughly on - wasn't there.
It couldn't come at any better timing than that.
Perfect day = ruined.

Today I crashed into the toll house barrier omg! Damn scary okay when it happened. It broke too but I just drove away! What could I do?? Stick it back together again? And there were like cars behind me.. What if the highway toll people ask me to pay for the damages?!
It wasn't my fault!!
There was a *beep beep* from my Smart Tag thingy which also means I paid right? Sigh. As I was driving I was damn scared the police or something would appear in my rear view mirror chasing me from behind. T___T None of that happened fortunately enough. *traumatized*

My Eighth of March
Ok yesterday was damn eventful.
For 15 minutes, I was Jothi, a girl from India.
There's this OneLife thing at Monash where they allow you to live through the life of someone stricken in one way or another by HIV/AIDS.
You wear these headphones and a voice will guide you through the entire exhibition thing. They rebuilt like the living conditions of the victims and the places they go to and all.
The coolest part was the clinic! This was where people from the other stories are all guided to somewhere towards the end to get tested for HIV positivity. They do this by stamping your hand! -_-
(It was actually quite malu la cause there was this volunteer acting doctor and I was thinking if she was actually laughing at us inside cause we were so serious and all hahaha. But I didn't laugh la of course.)
Jothi was the only one who was HIV negative yay lol. The rest were all positive. Then there was a bench for those people with HIV positive blood so sad. The lady in the headphones told me I was lucky and asked me to see if there was anyone on the bench with HIV positive and asked me what would I do now! Was I willing to bring them out or something! Omg put me on the spot for nothing!
So ngam there was this guy who was on the bench and then he stared at me with the saddest of eyes ever and it looked damn convincing HAHAHAHA! BUT HE WAS JUST ANOTHER MONASH FELLA IN THE EXHIBITION LA SO WEIRD IF I BRING HIM OUT RITE.
You must be thinking why was there even a Jothi in the first place in a HIV/AIDS exhibition when she wasn't even HIV/AIDS positive!
Coz right.. as far as I remembered... her parents died of the disease or something. Both her younger siblings are infected. But she's not. She has to take care of them etc etc.
Quite depressing lah. But I couldn't fully concentrate and put myself entirely into Jothi's shoes because for some strange reason there was this guy who was damn fast behind me la kept catching up to me as I went from room to room. Damn kacau zzz. I kept looking back cause I didn't want him to be next to me la.. damn potong stim rite if there was another person there. -_-
But mana tau he affected me anyway sigh.
Ok anyway I wrote a message for the HIV/AIDS patients and even bought a T-Shirt which I think the money will go for donation laa.
On the whole, the exhibition was very good and enlightening!!
*
After all that, you wouldn't believe what I did.
I went ice-skating omgz!
I have not skated in like 10 years and as far as I remember I was equally as bad as 10 years ago so shy!
I think I lost all my romantic points liao. Cannot bring girls out to ice-skate like in the movies T_T
*
Elections results out and damn good outcome for the oppositions hurray! Won many parliamentary seats and states even!
Hopefully they make full use of it now.
Okay that should be it for my 8.3.08.
One heck of a productive day by my standards hahaha.

My Seventh of March
I made a lame joke which really wasn't funny at all to a very nice Indian ticketing young lady in the cinema today when I was purchasing movie tickets for Step Up 2.
I was buying tickets for my friends who weren't at the counter with me and when I tried to get student rates for everyone, she didn't let me as she wanted to see everyone's student cards but I only had mine with me at that time.
Then she said,
"Nevermind la, 1 Ringgit difference only"
(I think she wasn't actually being rude/act-smart but was actually nice enough to try telling me that the price reduction was not much as it could be because the movie's price was already reduced from the normal price for some reason)
To which I happily replied,
"1 Ringgit can buy one nasi lemak! 1 nasi lemak bungkus!!"
Gg.com.
I could see from her eyes that she didn't know how to respond to my very brilliant statements. But at least she had the courtesy to manage a polite smile.
A friend who was beside me simply rolled his eyes in bewilderment.
Sometimes random things get into me for some strange unknown reason I don't know why.
The movie was very entertaining even by my standards hah. I don't easily get satisfied with movies recently and my course has made me very, very critical of the things I see on the wide screen.
I didn't have much to criticise for this movie which can only be a good thing of course. But I do have a sudden urge to wiggle my entire body now. But I also shouldn't have said that.
*
As the night enveloped itself into darkness(wah damn drama), I headed over to HELP University College(which I still don't know why people would ever go there to study sorry) with Karina and SJ and met Yasmin Ahmad in person! We had a Q&A session in which she also showed the commercials which she had made over the years..
Damn nice la some of them. One of them almost made me cry but being the manly man me of course I didn't la hahaha. Ask SJ though if she did. I wasn't quite sure. *cough* Hahaha.
Also managed a short talk with her after the session! Short as in super duper short la. But still got to snap a pic with her, got her namecard and shook her hand. *star struck*
Actually not really star struck la.. but still.. hmmm.. she IS someone afterall right right right??
*
Now you know what I did for the day! Feel proud la!
That.
Should.
Be.
All.
I.
Think.
And oh ya.
Vote wisely, peeps!!

My First Week
Late for every single class available. Hurray. And wasn't reprimanded for any of the days too. Uber..
Things don't look as scary as they did previously. Which can only be a good thing.
Found out that I have a lot to read and that I may read myself to death by the end of this semester. The worst part of it all, I am not very much of a reader before and definitely not much of one today. So.. that is 'sucky-thing-about-university' #325 on my list checked.
I am so tempted to post out the things I have to read for this semester but that would only make me a whiny complaining b*tch and that is a title I was hoping not to achieve anymore so no whiny post by me because I am positive now! (quote Meng Yen)
Despite of all that, I still had time to go clubbing on Thursday which is a strange enigma to crack. Lololol.
So what else what else.
So boring but this is what my timetable looks like *yawn*.
***
Monday: 12-2(Lecture)
Tuesday:1-3 (Lecture)
Wednesday:11-1(Lecture), 3-5(Tutorial)
Thursday:9-11(Lecture), 11-1(Tutorial), 1-3(Tutorial)
Friday:11-1(Tutorial)
***
Yala, yala everyday got class can or not.
Also,
I have a strange suspicion in the coming weeks, I am going to miss the lecture on Thursdays.. a lot.
Fingers crossed hopefully not!
