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

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.

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.
