..Or should I say 2 weeks since I haven't been posting the previous week either XD;; Well I'm in a tense situation since I have 1 mid term test on Wednesday (Maths ARGH) and 1 assignment due on Friday. Let's just hope that I manage to perform well on both occassions to help secure a scholarship for my degree =__=;;
Much thanks to those who check my blog for updates, if they exist XD;;

What happens to Maths students...
I get this exact feeling whenever I attend my Maths lectures or when I stare at the tutorial questions. Why the hell do I have to learn Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences when I'm going to pursue a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) English Language!?!?

Tagged by Ryanne
Well, in her ever-vigilant scheme to make me blog, my beloved wife, Ryanne, has handed me my first tag on a silver platter and now I am obliged to answer to her call to divulge the deepest secrets of my life..
...What the hell's with the flowery language, I'll just get to the damn tag LOL Oh don't misunderstand, I'm probably going to enjoy this XD
Directions: Once you’ve been tagged, you’ve to write a blog or a note on Facebook with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 10 people to tag, listing their names & why you choose them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment (”you’re it”) and to read your blog. You can’t tag the person that tagged you. Since you can’t tag me, let me know when you’ve posted your blog/note, so I can see your weirdness. (:
1. Taking inspiration from how my wife did her tag.. Well, I have the ability to occasionally make coherent tunes on the piano. ...Fine, it just means that I can play the piano to some extent LOL I started out late at the age of 9 and managed to scrape my way till Grade 5 before I decided that the piano lesson and examination fees were outrageous and decided to quit formal lessons. I occasionally play nowadays (having 2 pianos at home LOL) but recently I haven't found a piece that would incite the "playing spirit" in me... Well, some did, but no music sheets.. Damn XD
2. Due to influence from my wife, I took up Graphology when I was 16. I own a few books on the topic and can do some simple handwriting analysis, but I can never remember enough to beat the ever-reigning Graphology queen that is Ryanne LOL
3. I have surprisingly low-profile ambitions according to some. I just want to acquire a steady job at my hometown with enough money to eat what I want, drive where I want and occasionally splurge on electronic gizmos.
4. Despite widespread belief that I am an "artistic person" who will do well in graphics, I can assure you that is not the case. I toiled all my school hours away ever since I was 11 to learn how to draw anime characters, and that is the only thing I know how to draw. Being able to draw illogically-proportioned humans alone doesn't make me a great artist so could you finally shut up about how I should take up graphics because I will screw my whole life should my career be based on that? =__=
5. Since I realize my post is becoming ridiculously long, can I shorten it to 10 facts? XD As I am going to major in English, I hold the language in high regard and do not enjoy people desecrating it.. Yes it would be nice if everyone spoke perfect English, but I do understand that I can't expect EVERYONE to be English gods so broken English is fine to me. It's just when I KNOW that a particular person can speak and write perfectly good English but chooses to write like "Dmn paiseh dat 1di0t dun knw hw 2 tulis betoi betoi ah, tiu", I get pissed. Is it really COOL to write all shorthanded bullshit with vulgarity littered all over? Please, you're only making yourself look stupid. Do the world a favour and choke yourself to death on your next meal :D
6. On the subject of things I hate.. Hypocrites, arrogance, injustice, discrimination and such. Fine, you have ten times my pocket money to splurge every week and your holier-than-thou brain is superior to mine in every way. Do you have to advertise it? Of course the hilarious thing is when I realize I'm actually better than those arrogant brats out there, but you will never see me show that. Lalala~ Oh, time for supper!
7. Back from supper and I forgot what I was doing LOL Okay.. Let's go for a weird topic. I think my sexual orientation is ambiguous LOL I believe that love is not based on gender so I'm just waiting to see what'll happen. I come from an all-girls school so I'm more used to being around girls though.
8. ...Which brings me to the fact that the first person I felt an attraction to is a girl LOL I shalt not divulge any more information other than I knew nothing would come out from those feelings so it just flew by lalala~ (this is going to scare those girls I always "sexually harass" LOL)
9. I seem like a weird eccentric person at first glance but I'm truthfully a boring person at heart. I rarely take risks and fear prosecution, I prefer "safe" over "fun" and I run out of topics for conversation pretty fast which means you'd be stuck in dead silence with me most of the time XD;;
10. Despite how careless and sloppy I seem, I actually have a strong desire to master the art of walking with high heels. ...It just seems interesting XD
Gosh this IS ridiculously long. I shall end here now that my readers know an extra 10 weird stuff about me to better ostracize me XD I tag.. anyone who wants to do this because seriously, does anyone other than my wife read this? XD

On a bright and sunny day..
Concrete pillar falls on construction site office, killing supervisor
Usually you read news of freak accidents happening, but you never expect for one to actually occur to someone you know. Today a colleague of my mother's, Uncle Ronnie met with an incident that robbed him of his life. He had worked at the company for more than 13 years, dutifully commuting from Ipoh to KL and back whenever his job required him to do so. He was a good-hearted fellow who never had a temper. Blessed with 4 children, he toiled day and night to ensure they grew up with everything they needed, even though he had to do it alone as a single parent. At 51, his retirement was just a few years ahead, but then fate had to deal a cruel blow and take away the sole parent figure of his 4 children.
One single concrete pillar, one unfortunately positioned cabin, and poof, a human life was lost today. It's surreal, I've never had anyone I know die, and my first one happened today, a normal day by any standards to me. Being the first time I'm experiencing the loss of an acquaintance, I now understand how unexpected life can be, and death does not occur like those wish-wash soap operas you see on TV where people clutch a dying man's hand in a hospital ward and scream their throats hoarse. It just.. happens, not bound by schedule and human wants. Hell I could be sitting in the lecture hall tomorrow and have the projector crash on my head (touchwood!) for all I know. Live your life to the fullest, and never forget to tell your loved ones "I love you" whenever you have the chance.
Uncle Ronnie, we will always remember you and your "lat thing!" when shit happens. Shit really happened this time but you're not with us anymore. May your soul rest in peace and your children grow up to remember what a splendid father they had.

Just as I thought of taking blogging seriously..
...I read this:
This cannot, that cannot, how to blog?
Okaaaaaaay so by posting virtually ANYTHING I can dream of myself writing, I am breaking Malaysian law and can be thrown into jail or maybe ISA to say hello to the Hindraf 5. Wow, Malaysia'd better have nice big jails since about every single blogger I can think of "infringes blogging law" one way or another.
In Malaysia, writing a comment like "Our government is corrupt" or something around that context can lead to you being charged with sedition or defamation and be hauled up by the obviously pro-government ISA law and be detained till they grow roots into their prison cells, all at the whim and fancy of the Malaysian government. I stand neutral in the midst of this political bullshit happening in my country, but without doubt I can say our ruling government is riddled with crackjobs, leeches and people with potatoes for brains (sorry potato lovers). In this supposedly "democratic country", freedom of speech is just bullshit in a country governed by "frog governments". If you want to be free to blog whatever you want, you might as well pack up your bags and apply for citizenship in Iraq, at least I haven't heard of journalists being hauled up by law for reporting true facts detrimental to the ruling government.
So what am I going to do in light of this totally ridiculous piece of dung called law? Screw it, if I go to jail, half the Malaysian population'd have to follow me. So I guess I'll just continue posting and pack my Nintendo DS with a few essentials in a duffel bag, waiting for Malaysian police to knock at my door. Prisons serve eggs, don't they?
P.S. I edited my profile. It describes me better now :D

Welcome to the procrastinator
Being bugged by my beloved wife, I have finally dragged my lazy bum to write a first post to commemorate the officiating of my... 3rd or 4th blog I believe LOL I have no freakin' idea what I'm going to post here since I let my previous blogs die off. I'm not some philosophical angel so don't expect thought-provoking posts... Instead, except rabid fangirling, political bullshitting and online shooting. That's all I can think of to make a first post. Now I shall rot off reading more Hetalia and rolling around in bed :D
