Yo!

Yo whaddap!

Long time no see bros and sistas!

With regards to my previous post, yes I did manage to survive with flying colours.

With the exception of one subject.

Ugh.

Ok see you next month soon lol.

Negelected.

Nothing to post lah.

Perth trip was okay albeit it was a tad boring for my liking.

Pictures are up on Facebook if you didn't already know.

Mid terms are next week and up till now I've only done a teeny weeny bit of revision.

But I will survive - with flying colours!

Hi!

I'm sorry i'm incapable of distinguishing the pain and sorrow in your life,

And i'm really sorry that I have to put on a masquerade to ensure that the same can be said for mine.

Edibility

Are those really edible?

Tomorrow!

Is Monday!

My favourite day of the week!

Need to finalize my slides along with my speech tomorrow; by hook or by crook.

Not taking any risks with shitting bricks on the day of presentation.

And this Friday is a public holiday woohoo!

Today!

Today in review:

a) It took me an hour to travel a distance of 10 kilometers.

b) 30 minutes were very well spent within the college compound with the remaining 30 outside.

c) I've come to realize that I just might screw up my Media Law and Ethics subject.

d) Another pressing matter that has come to my attention would be the other tendency of fumbling my Communication Research Methods subject up.

e) I might be able to salvage my other subjects.

Might.

Mondays.

I shall again portray my disgust with that very special day of the week; because I can.

Wake up at 6.30am, get cleaned up, leave the house at 7.00am, slog myself to death in college, get back home at 6.30pm.

SHIT LAH.

Consideration.

I love my coursemates.

Because a very very small fraction of them are so bloody irritating.

Especially the ones who speak for the sake of speaking.

Talk for the sake of talking.

Being annoying for the sake of being annoying.

And when that happens, I'd try so very hard to mentally tune out the 100db's of blabber jabber, but even before I could, the lecturer would've already paused just to get them to zip their blabbermouths.

Which is just as effective as using a spoon to commit murder- redundant.

Do take note that just because it's a minuscule fraction out of the whole class, that doesn't mean you should start underestimating their capabilities, oh no no.

Take the cili padi for example; the smaller they are, the more lethal it is.

Same scenario here.

Describing them as someone possessing a mentality of a 5 year old child who's suffering from the attention deficit disorder whilst being high on steroids is probably one of the closest ways you could describe them.

But I bet they'll take that as a compliment anyway. Ugh.

Thank God i'd be branching out to my respective major next semester, which means (hopefully) they would be out of my sight, and thus, out of my mind.

You know who you are.

Intentions.

I genuinely intended to do some revision today.

But putting it to execution isn't nearly as easy as my intention and foresight saw it to be.

Guh.

Media law and ethics.

I'm think i'm gonna fail that subject.

Because its as though the lecturer is speaking in Greek to the class, nobody gets him.

Does what he say hold any relevance to the subject at hand?

Well, that's another problem all together.

Woohoo!

:(

I hate hate HATE Mondays.

Because on that day, class would start at 8am and end at 6pm UGH.

Well, considering the two hour-long breaks scattered in between aren't much of a help, having 2 hour lectures for four completely different subjects in a 'short' period of 10 hours is more than enough to mentally kill off someone.

OH GOD +/- 12 WEEKS TO GO.

Season 2 : Episode 2 - Pressure Cooker

Day 2 of college and i'm already starting to feel like I'm living in a pressure cooker lol.

As each day goes by, the pressure would keep on mounting and mounting, most likely until it reaches a point where the cooker itself gets blown to smithereens.

Juggling 5 deep subjects all at once is literally gonna kill me guh, ESPECIALLY when you're aiming to maintain the CGPA 3.80 of yours.

Cry with me. :(

Season 2 : Episode 1

I almost died from tiredness after coming back from college.

So tired, took my first nap after a long, long time.

Body please adjust to the new biological clock before I combine my regular amounts of sleep with long naps that would increase the risk of me being a victim of cardiovascular diseases. <--- clicky!

Introduced to two new subjects today, which were Psychology and Communication Research Methods.

The latter of which almost left me dumbfounded after the hour long (dry) lecture if I didn't decide to review the lecture notes later on when I got home.

But that's all good, as long as I get warmed up and get all my gears oiled up and running again, this semester should go along smoothly.

I hope.

Season 2

Semester two starts tomorrow after a very draggy +/-90 days of decomposition.

Should be alright, but from the looks of the notes belonging to one of the subjects that i'll be taking, it's gonna be painfully dry.

CGPA 4.00 gambatteh!

Delusional.

You really just don't care, do you?

Those words you say, are they earnest at all?

Or was I just being delusional about it all?

Leeeeeeeeeeeee.

If half past dead was a feeling, that would be exactly how I was earlier on today.

Why?

I was so gungho to conquer Broga Hills in Semenyih without a day's worth of sleep, that's why.

Oh god the aftereffects of the climb was horrible. :(

I could barely open my eyes while I was driving (don't start criticizing me for that) which at one point during the drive home my brain actually went into autopilot mode for an astounding 5 seconds.

Which means I literally wasn't aware of my surrounding for 5 odd seconds. And I actually had to 'wake up' from it. (DON'T START WITH ME)

Came back home and slept for 6 hours and I still feel groggy ugh.

Can't wait for tomorrow, which is when the aftermath of the climb sets in - jelly legs!

Woohoo!

Anything.

College starts in two weeks after slacking off for 70 odd days at home, oh noes!

And I was just starting to get the hang of it. Boohoo.

Hopefully my timetable wouldn't be a pain in the rear by having painfully long breaks in between lectures, otherwise i'd cry blood! :(

Having Friday as an off day would be a plus too, even if it means cramming every credit hour of the semester into the first four days of each week - it'd help diminish the odds for (tiresome) >2 hour breaks yo!

Ok enough of demanding, time for hoping and praying, and not to mention positive thinking!

Coincidence

If you wanna know more about the resort and everything about the hotel that I've mentioned in my previous post, The Star newspaper did an article on it in the Metro segment today, page 8 if i'm not mistaken. It's not really that detailed but I guess that will suffice.

Pictures are up on Facebook take care bye bye!

In other news:

The Snowpoke gave me that today.

"100 pieces of positive messages and quotations to inspire and encourage positive living"

She thinks i'm not optimistic enough. :(

I am sad. :(

Its alright, it just gave me a reason to put them mini messages to good use! :P

Ok bye again!

ily, snowpoke! <3

Sepang

Greetings!

Just got back from my vacation at the Golden Palm Tree resort in Sepang Gold Coast (no resemblance whatsoever to the place of the same name situated in the land Down Under).

All I can say about that place is the fact that they couldn't have constructed everything closer to each other than it already is.

And by that I mean you would have to go for a +/-20 minute brisk walk to get from the hotel's car park to the room.

Which means that depending on the location of your room, walking in and out of the hotel from your room to your car in the parking lot might cost you 40 minutes of your time.

No kidding.

Pictures of the resort and the whole trip would be up on Facebook soon I guess.

Ok bye!

Happy

Today is a happy day.

Why?

Because Spain is the 2010 FIFA World Cup Champions!

Ok bye.

I wanna erase it all. All of it.

Sad.

Today is a sad day.

Why?

Because Uruguay lost to Germany for the third place in the FIFA World Cup. :(

Nevertheless, they did put up a good fight right till the end, which is worth commending on.

But tonight! By hook or by crook, Spain shall become the World Cup champions!

Time to keep your skin you Oranje people!

Uruguay

Please beat Germany tonight to secure the 3rd place in the FIFA World Cup.

Then I can go tell (half of) the whole world to keep/recieve skin*!

Which would make me an even more happier person!

*refer to picture in previous post.

Aches.

The whole left side of my body is aching, from my arms down to my lower back and then further down to my thighs and calf; compliments of the awkward position that i had to sleep in while snoozing on Paul's sofa after catching the semi-finals match between Germany and Spain.

So, to you smug German squad fanatics who so strongly believed that your idol could pulverize the Spanish team like they coolly did with Australia and Argentina, I’m not going to rub the loss into that thick face of yours but instead, here's a picture to help you along with your solemn period of mourning.

Hunger.

I am hungry.

:(

.

I wish I told you from the start
That this was never meant to last
We should've never gone this far.

Tailgaters.

As much as I'd love to jam my brakes and watch my car's rear bumper go right through your windshield and straight through your face (the merrier if it were to happen in HD, can you imagine the vividness!), it'd be too much of a hassle to claim the damages done to my precious car with the insurance guys.

If you didn't already know, i'm definitely right in this situation and you're evidently at the wrong for having a fetish with my car's rear end, so don't you even think about pressing charges.

And since you'd already be well past dead, you wouldn't have to go through the hassle of claiming your insurance and going through the authorities; a departing gift from me to you!

So please, unless the last thing you wanna see before that cliché 'white light' overwhelms you is a car's rear end shattering your face into oblivion, I suggest you stop tailgating.

Popularity.

The most overexposed song on the airwaves at the moment.

Malaysian airwaves, that is.

Every time you flick on your radio and tune into a station that plays current hit songs, you're bound to, heck destined, to hear that song come on.

It's like a ghost that follows you, that haunts you, the minute your radio is on.

It doesn't matter how often you alternate between channels, you can't run from it, you can't hide from it, and you definitely cant avoid it.

If it's on this channel, you're destined to hear it on any other pop/rock channel.

It's only a matter of time.

Tune into a particular station for an hour and I can almost guarantee that you'll hear that song play.

And when that happens, I tend to start hissing and clawing at my car's radio receiver with sheer horror before desperately switching to another radio station which would prevent that monstrosity of a song from making my ears and (somehow) my eyes bleed.

No kidding.

Don't get me wrong, there's completely nothing wrong with the song, it's most definitely catchy, it gets you singing, and after some time it starts playing in the back of your head with or without your mind's consent.

That's all fine, until you've listened to it being played for the 1565th time.

Which is when switching to another radio station just won't do the job, no.

But driving your car off into a ravine would.

FIFA.

Keeping up with your favourite football teams participating in the FIFA World Cup can send your regular sleep patterns into a downward spiral.

Why?

Because as of now I've only had two hours of sleep in the last 24 hours.

When I usually have to get 12 hours of sleep at the minimum if I were to function optimally throughout the remainder of the day.

I know spending half a day sleeping isn't the healthiest of lifestyles, but when you're on a devastatingly long holiday with entirely nothing to do, sleeping would be the most beneficial activity you could do.

Oh no, very unhealthy. :(

Gated communities.

Do you know how annoying those idiotic 'security' people at those guarded neighbourhood checkpoints can be?

I'm only there to friggin' pick up my friend and then i'll be out of there before you can even get my car's registration plate through your densely thick skull, you nosy prick.

And even if you tell me you're literally interrogating me for 'security' purposes,

Isn't asking for my IC number a little bit overboard?

You think i'm there to break into someone's house?

At 10 in the morning?

Friggin' daylight robbery?

Oh I forgot, if you had the COMMON SENSE to figure that attempting daylight robbery ALONE isn't the least bit sensible (unless you have a nut for a brain), you wouldn't be a 'security' guard in the first place!

My bad!

Oh and you want me to give you the address of my friend's place?

If I had 10 friends who lived in that area, you're expecting me to keep track of all their addresses?

It's called photographic memory you dumb twits, I don't need an address to know where my friend stays. Go read it up.

If you can even read.

Even if you really are worried about what i'm doing in there, why don't you ESCORT me to where i'm going instead of muttering and repeating the same old 'YOU GO WHERE?' line every time I reason with you. It's as if your pea of a brain just suffered a meltdown or something.

Which isn't possible because I don't think you even have a brain to begin with!

'YOU GO WHERE?'

I'm gonna run you over till your think skull caves in if you don't friggin let me in, that's where im going you annoying pain.

Tired.

I wish I could close my eyes and worry all my problems away.

Tiresome problems.

Persistent problems.

Harrowing problems.

Yes i'm very aware that there are other people who are in a more dire state than I am and they aren't whining about it.

And yes, i'm also realistic enough to comprehend that a problem-free life does not exist. Unless you're living in a hallucination.

"For every action, there's a reaction"

But what have I done on my part to deserve this?

Sigh.

I'm tired.

I'm depressed.

I'm starving.

What have I done to deserve all of that?

You were supposed to take the pain away, and not jab it straight into me.

I never asked for anything from you, and this is what I get in return?

Pain?

Agony?

Suffering?

Everybody has their own breaking point.

The point where you close your eyes and question your Creator what made you deserve this.

The point where you question yourself how did it get this wildly out of hand.

The point where you truly start to think about the current situation you're in.

The massive shitstorm you're in.

Thinking about whether its worth all the anguish and misery.

Thinking, questioning, contemplating over one very fundamental question.

Is this all worth it?

Random

Oh mah lawd i'm having sudden cravings for fried crullers (yao char guai)

OH MAH LAWD I AM SO HUNGRY.

OK I GO BUY, BYE BYE.

EDIT: YAO CHAR GUAI, GET!

Yo.

If you have yet to figure out why the previous post was titled 3.80,

Here's why..

Image above not meant for squinty eyed people, like me.

One of those rare days where getting a B+ makes you sad.

Sigh.

Oh well!

This post is specifically dedicated to the monkeys and naysayers who always believed that i'll never make it in life, because without them, I wouldn't have the dying urge to go up all in their face!

So kudos to you, Mr/Mrs/Ms naysayer!

See you again at the end of semester two!

Which is the moment I would go so far up in your face that you'd wanna gouge your eyes and blow your ears out.

Happy days mate!

3.80

<3

Spectre.

So my overall results for my first semester was not released today as predicted.

Obviously.

Because in Malaysia, you gotta keep in mind that when people say 'I'll see you at 12pm', they actually mean 'I'll see you at 12.30pm; at the earliest'.

If you don't believe me,

Then just look into my eyes,

Because the heart never lies.

Superior.

I am in the process of mastering the art of manipulating time.

Not without the help of my trusty 22 episodes of Two and a Half Men coupled with another 23 episodes of The Simpsons.

Time?

What time?

Redemption.

As you can see, yesterday I did a review on the 'tropical fruit-ish' variant of Wrigley's new chewing gum, 5.

I didn't quite like it, so I decided to give another flavor a shot which hopefully, would help me forget the potent taste of the 'tropical fruit-ish' gum that's still lingering in my mind. Ugh.

Nightmare without the outer plastic wrap on the left; Saviour with the plastic wrap on the right. Or is it now?

Like the other variant which I thoroughly described yesterday, today's variant is similar to its yesterday's counterpart in every aspect, except the taste, of course. So i'll cut the long story short, and go directly to how it tastes.

To sum it short, i'd take this flavour over the other anytime.

Why?

Because its spearmint flavoured; You really won't and can't go wrong whenever you decide to purchase mint flavoured candy or gum of any sort over any other available flavour; and that applies to any kind of mint, spearmint or your regular Mentos mint.

It's only when the manufacturers get adventurous and start combining all different sorts of haphazard flavors into one just for the sake of releasing a new product, which is when you get a literal shitstorm of displeasing flavours to occur in your mouth.

But again, this all comes down to whether you fancy the taste of mint in the first place.

Similar to yesterday's 'tropical fruit-ish' gum, the spearmint version had the similar strong overwhelming taste to it and had a pleasant cooling effect coming off of it during the first few chomps. It's taste also managed to last and retain within the gum after quite a fair bit of chewing.

And this is one of the few flavours out there where its alright to go overboard with the taste, simply because this is JUST plain ol' mint and not some weird mumbo jumbo of random horrid pretentious tasting flavours of fruits erupting in your mouth.

Think of it as Wrigley's regular spearmint on steroids.

Retep Rates: 7/10

Ghetto

Yes I know at a glance that looks like a pack of condoms or even a cigarette box.

But as a matter of fact, it's actually a pack of 'sugarfree' gum. 12 pieces of them, to be exact.

And apart from the fascinating packaging, to be honest, that's the worst tasting gum that I've ever chewed in my life.

Mind you this isn't just some random ching chong nip nong nong brand from China that you see ever so often in supermarkets and grocery stalls, but instead its a product from renowned gum manufacturer, Wrigleys.

5, is what they call it. And this particular variant was 'tropical fruit-ish' flavoured.

And by 'tropical fruit-ish' I mean a choking combination of artificial flavours like mango + peach + ?

All of which tasted and even smelled so artificial that the moment i took the gum out of its wrapper, the smell that emitted from that stick of gum was so overwhelming it smelled like I was in a funky fruity chemical factory of some sort. Yes it was that strong.

It also tasted exactly like how it smelled; strong and overpowering.

But of course the one thing good about that is even after chewing for a cool three hours, the aftertaste of the gum is still quite present in your mouth.

Aside from that, the gum also does not lose its elasticity like other chewing gum which has a tendency to break up into miniscule powdered fragments over time.

Both a plus point if you're the type of person whose jaw does not ache nor hurt by chewing on a stick of gum for a whole day.

EDIT: The name of the gum is not Pulse as I mentioned, but instead, '5'. Yes, the chewing gum is simply called '5'.

Rainbows

I don't know what to update with liao.

So today's post would be an 'eat-sleep-shit' kind of post.

Today I woke up at...10?

Had brunch at...12?

Went to get bubble tea at...3?

And here I am at 5.39.

Which is the only moment where i'm certain of the time.

So depressing. :(

Anticipation

Next week, the much anticipated results of my first semester would (supposedly) be released.

Hopefully everything goes according to what I aimed for.

Because I'm not just blindly hoping and wishing for magnificent results, nope.

I actually placed in a considerable amount of effort into my studies this time.

So if i don't get what I aimed for, i'll be very sad.

But i'm quite confident i'll do just fine.

And the marks I managed to accumulate for each of my five subjects throughout the semester (which excludes the 40% weightage of the finals) has been rather satisfying.

Must make parents proud! Or else.

Gambatteh!

Greetings!

Welcome to day 6 aboard the Random Express!

Today's destination would be, as always - Nowhere!

Because like the name says, this is exactly where my post is heading to - Nowhere!

Ok see you in day 7!

http://retepisrandom.blogspot.com - Colouring your life one day at a time.

Glee!

The first season of Glee has (finally) come to a glorious end!

I feel like a part of me just withered and died.

Not being a drama king here lol.

But really, I think a part of me just died lol.

Must be because of my hunger pangs.

Three fried eggs and a bowl of Frosties are only capable of keeping my tummy content for THAT long.

Ah well hopefully season two would be as captivating or even better than the first season was!

http://retepisrandom.blogspot.com - updated non-informatively for 5 back-to-back days!

Yeah! Alright!

4 consecutive days of updates!

A new record!

Yeah! Alright!

Can you feel the enthusiasm pulsing through your veins?!

Most probably not,

But I most certainly can!

Yeah! Alright!

You naysayers might notice that the posts aren't a work of outstanding monolithic creativity and neither is it of any importance whatsoever,

But this one of the few occasions where quantity > quality!

See you tomorrow!

Yeah! Alright!

I...

subconsciously nip the skin off my lips till it bleeds.

am not enjoying my holidays as much as I thought I would.

have completed reading The Regulators, a novel by Stephen King, yesterday.

need to do something beneficial to kill my time.

really have nothing to do.

am listening to US radio via iTunes because my playlist is getting repetitive; 288 of your favourite songs can only be repeated, even when on shuffle mode, THAT often till it becomes tiresome.

am wondering what is for dinner.

wanna go back to college.

have a strong feeling that i'm gonna regret wanting the above statement to happen.

am so bored that the simple task of colouring my sentences becomes an exhilarating experience!

wanna cry.

Obnoxiousness

21st day of nothingness!

Another 55 more days till the next semester starts!

Can you FEEL the excitement?

Because I know I can!

'So you'll be my Forever and Almost Always,
And I'll be fine, just love me when you can
And I'll wait patiently, I'll wake up everyday
Just hoping that you still care'

Pesants!

Yes that's you! Lol kidding.

Anyway, welcome to the new revamped set up of my blog!

It looks so much more pleasant to the eyes now, not so plain and mind staggeringly painful to read.

Which, my friends, is one of the two causes for the long hiatus.

The other reason, is, "I disemboweled myself right after my previous post for sheer fun. " simply due to the lack of a reason and purpose for an update.

It's that simple!

True story.

Ok time for me to continue with decomposing whatever's left of my incompetent brain throughout the remainder of my two months worth of holidays!

Bye bye muax muax! <3

lol gay.

Walao.

I've started my revision for my finals although it's roughly a month or so away.

There are of course disadvantage and advantages for being kiasu by preparing this far ahead.

Advantages:

1. No last minute cramming of information.
2. No burning the midnight oil.
3. No lack of confidence.
4. No worries!

Disadvantages:

1. The odds of forgetting the stuff you studied is relatively high.
2. You would be renowned as the king/queen of kiasu.
3. Compromises have to be made; e.g.: sending your social life and whatever remainders of your miserable life into oblivion.
4. If you were to screw up your exam, the students who swear by studying last minute and yet managed to outperform you would be up in your face till you fall on your knees and plead for mercy.

I'll leave both sides with the equal number of points so that you'll come up with your own conclusion on determining whether its advantageous or disadvantageous.

Do note that what you see above is based on my personal insights and it does not mean it has to apply to you.

Ok time to continue my adventures in kiasuland!

Anybody tagging along?

Har.

I'm suffering from Post Assignments Withdrawal Symptoms. (PAWS)

The sudden cease in assignments along with 3 weeks of 'study leave' is starting to get me restless.

Overabundance of assignments; complain.

The absence of assignments; complain.

Life is good.

You.

Are you afraid of being alone?

Cause I am, I'm lost without you.

Cellphone.

Till now, my cellphone has been charging for 15 hours consecutively and it doesn't look like it'll stop anytime soon.

Hopefully it wouldn't blow up in my face when I check on it.

And I noticed my recent posts are more suitable being Facebook status updates than a proper blog post.

Sad.

:(

Speed.

Life is good,

For now.

Narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy = A sleep disorder characterized by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of deep sleep.

Awesome stuff I tell you. Imagine me spontaneously falling asleep as i'm walking.

I'd suddenly fall to my knees and lie flat on my face then snooze the day away.

Solution:

Red bull diet; anyone?

Burger.

The wagyu beef burger I had in Tony Roma's was so salty until I can FEEL my hair drop liao.

Initially it was still bearable, but the more I ate, the more saltier it got until I scared to put in my mouth liao.

It was so 'ham' (salty in cantonese) even from the first few bites itself I can feel myself becoming hamsap liao.

Omg getting lame liao.

I think I need kidney transplant liao.

Liao.
