Daily Dose Of Crap

Hmmm,let's see. Lately(not so lately now),I've been addicted to snooker.It is a beautiful game to me and my favorite player is Mr.Ronnie O Sullivan(some bad things you did during the China Open(www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA3l0O8TaOM),genius with an attitude problem.I have also been quite addicted to DoTA.It's nice.See I wonder why in this short span of 3 months,I have suddenly grown addicted to all these stuff,and this really is the worst time for it to happen,I guess it is a case of "lifeburn" for lack of a more appropriate word.

You see,I think I am a bit tired with my life up till this point,I mean I do not have much complaints,I am considerably happy with the state I am in,but it seems to me that I have had enough of college studying-dreading it till the point where any addiction(Disclaimer:By that I mean things that are not directly harmful physically)is okay for me just so I don't have to study.But for this "youth-life" crisis to happen at this moment,come on man,really?I have got some important things at stake.

I just so happen to be a believer that every stage in life is important,for those who play DotA,I think you can fully understand what that means.Of course,if you screw up at some point in life,you have a chance to bounce back;but nobody can deny the fact that the time and opportunities wasted in between does deal a lot of damage.Up till now,I think I have done fairly well.BUT now,where education starts to be the most expensive stuff and my future career and life practically on the line,I chose to be slack,talk about perfect timing.I look at some of my college mates who still got the eagerness of a fresh terrier released from it's leash,erm,do anyone else feel the same as I?

I mean okay I got this offer to study Economics at quite a good university* in UK,but then at the same time I didn't get the best offer,which is to go to LSE.(Disclaimer:Dream university from young + unlimited bragging rights for life= you really wish you got it).The worst thing is they made me wait like forever,it is kind of like building up your hopes,*BAM*,one click of the mouse,REJECTED.To be fair,I really don't think I deserve it,compare to those people I know who do,but I guess that's a good way to console yourself.FACT of the MATTER:DUDE,YOU AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE CUT,IN YOUR FACE.

So yeah,that's reality and it gives me another good "reason" to not work hard(see,I could have work hard for the offer to the other good university).Now if I would just work hard,I think I could meet the requirements of the offer but then there is the cash problem.MAJOR PROBLEM wei....

I think it's like half a million ringgit.(That's one paragraph to help you sink under it's weight)

Scholarships are so hard to get,a friend I know who has the best overall achievement that I know of,failed to get any scholarships.And comparing me to him is like comparing me and O Sullivan.Wait,that is not right.Privy DX and Conscript Derek both together against me in snooker,yeah that's apt.Considering the compounded fact that I study Economics(P.S:Dudes out there,times are not looking pretty,please save for the rainy days,cause I smell a monsoon,if you follow.),it is not good to spend that kind of money at this time.Another "reason" to not study.

Sheesh,just thinking about the consequences of failing,those eyes-family and friends and their families and their friends.I have decided now,after finishing this blog.I WILL NOT LOSE MY BRAGGING RIGHTS.(P.S-Not when United are in a UCL(*hint) final.

"Be it a good time or a bad time,I'm afraid it's the only time we have."

I dedicate this post to my friends DX and Cliff.

First,DX lah.I thought he would have too much liquor Down Under(that rhymes wei)So I was chatting with the other day,and makes me remember a few things.Going back to the past,I didn't think I would be friends with him,cause he's the type that I like to punch when I'm emo-ing,with all his small actions and the whole package lah!Not my kind of friend,but hey,he's actually quite a nice guy lah,I'm sure people say he's a little weird lah,but too me,he's quite straightforward and genuine guy(Man of his word to if you know what I mean*wink*),although sometimes his thinking a bit different,but cute also lah,can't blame him because of his background,and he's rich and smart too,quite handsome also,but don't know why he just can't get the girls...*sob*

I remember we fought once because he like this girl in my class which I didn't like.*Hands Up*My fault ,also don't know why I poke my nose and why I dislike her so much.Then,this dude help me get A1 for Add.Math.Thanks.But then I teach him how to play basketball ,so contra already.That's the part I like about him the most,on the court,he is like my dog(kidding,but he is my top dog).Then he got one special skill(I consider it to be a skill):Luck!!!This dude got lots of luck wei,from free original Jay Chou CD to 50 sen coins,he is the King Of Good Fortune,until he plays me on the gambling table,that one no choice I too good for his luck!!!
All in all,my good and true friend.

I figured it would be funny to make it like a RPG game character.

Name:Lee Dong Xiao
Height:170 cm
Weight:80kg(with all that alcohol and beer)
HP:500/500(means 500 normal punch from normal adult would kill him)
Type:Sissy Humanoid
Skill:Luck,Bad Singing,Playing Drum Arcade,Hitting Anything With Power,Weaving Flawed Stories,Making Weird Noises.
Weakness:Girls(especially those Japanese type with nice legs and er.....)

Next up,man of all HOURS-Cliff Ng Kah Weng.

This guy is the ultimate champion,no doubts about it.I remember the first time I saw him,I actually had 10% belief in what he(that time Form 1) said-"Haiya,this kind of Form 5 CHUNG HWA special Add Math,give me one day I finish.".Then you realize,that's just nonsense.Then you start hearing it from him everyday.Then it gets funny(still is wei).Then sometimes it just gets stupid and annoying.But oh well,that is the package we have here.

I respect him for surviving without a father since he was young,it really isn't easy.And an interesting observation from another close friend,since he has got no * at home,and no real role model to follow,we can't blame him for the times when he wouldn't react and think as normal people do,since most of our behavior is sculpted from the * and also other people who also are influenced by the *,what we do is "normal" because most of society accepts it as that,and most of society IS effected by the *.But he is a stubborn ass(you are free to interpret that as a single word or two words,hehe),and sometimes the things he does can't be pardoned just because of the reason I gave above.He is 19 now and if he reads this now,learn to grow up and be an adult man,learn to shoulder responsibility,be a true man(not a beast:Read Beauty and the Beast for more info).

But he has a good heart on most occasions,and according to some reliable sources,he really was quite brilliant in primary school,alas(read Sang1 Zhong1 Yong3 for more info).I guess he is friend worth having although sometimes his loyalty and sheer annoyance(at times)MUST be called into questioned.

All in all good chap.

I've got other friends...

Mini-Sketch
Storm:What's that Wolverine?
Wolverine:*smemp,smemp* I smell Jealousy.

But I'll probably do it another time.Hehe.

There is a story that goes like this:There was this guy,18,fresh out of high school.He is not from a rich family but he is quite good in his studies,and thus he is offered a chance to study overseas,but it'll take him 6 years to finish it.

Now the thing is,he's got 2 younger siblings who are also in high school,and if he accepts the offer,and he wants to,his siblings won't have a chance to go to university,cause his family needs him to support them.The dilemma is:Should he choose to accept the offer(which is what he wants) or should he stay back and work(which is what he doesn't want but what his family hopes he chooses)?

My question is:When we make an important decision that'll definitely affect us,and the choice we prefer collides with other people's{people who are important and relevant in that situation)choice[eg.family,friends],how to we decide?How do you choose when it's not going to be a win-win situation?Either way,someone's going to lose out.

From the really small things,like when I wanted to go for steamboat,and my friends had other plans,you try to compromise,but of course you still feel disappointed in the end.And in some cases,you can't even compromise,it's either A or B.And both ways are like opposites of the other.Do you chase after what you think belongs to you,or do you sacrifice it for other's?

Especially this friend I have in Australia,I mean I really salute him for following his parents wishes,albeit not of his own free will,but he still did it.Is he 孝 or "siao"(hokkien)?Usually we tell people(or the world tells us)"follow your dreams","never let anyone tell you what you should or should not do" stuff like that,it sounds all right.But what if it's your parents wishes,who you owe so much too,and we Chinese really focus on being filial, it used to much worst in ancient China,but it still is one of the core values in our upbringing even now.How do you choose?

Or if,like the case above,your siblings future(2 lives vs. your own)?Still going to "follow your dreams"?Well then what about their dreams?Bet you can't say that so suavely now can you.

Or like a drama I was watching,this guy loved his dead wife so much,he doesn't want to remarry;but his mom who is dying of cancer has this last dying wish that he remarries?And everybody he knows is putting pressure on him to do so.How do you choose?

I'm blessed I'm not in that position now,but it might happen sometime in the future,and for those who are in it,or those who have experienced it,or those who are like me-What is the right decision to make?How do you choose?

This is actually quite a vast,interesting,personal and sensitive topic.Maybe most people have never given much of a thought about it,but is there something that you believe in?Something that you hold strongly to or base your course of life on?Obviously it varies for each individual:some people believe in the law,many in science,freedom and also religion.But,let's zero down to two groups:(a)faith/religion of a supreme being.(b)atheist(the opposite)

I happen to be in the (a) group and more specifically the Christian faith.Basically,it's believing that you are a created being of God,and accepting Jesus Christ,the Son of God,as your personal Lord and Saviour from sin.Cause,we all are sinners,aren't we?But then you ask me,what happened to the Theory of Evolution?Aren't all these religion just myths and superstition of old?We do live in the age of science,right?My answer:science is believing what you are seeing;faith is believing what you haven't seen.

That answer might not sound logical,but I do believe in it.It still puzzles me why I would believe,it's a great mystery.I guess my best example would be if I like this girl who doesn't suit me logically(like an 80-year old granny) and you ask me why?I can't give a valid reason.That's how you describe love and the same goes for faith.

I'm not a perfect guy.Actually I'm quite a screwed-up jerk,but that's a story for another day,point is I realize I need guidance to live a fruitful life,and who else is better than your Creator?(assuming that I believe that there is one)But and the end of the day,all these wouldn't make any sense if you don't believe:if you are faithless.So what are you-Fides Aut Malefides?

So after procrastinating and basically doing nothing for 5 months(a record since my baby years???),Seriously,it sucked.Probably cause of my character,I need to be challenged and to be on the move,so DX,you made a good choice(from my point of view).Finally,I've enrolled myself in HELP,cause maybe I could use it.

By the way,I got 7A1 and 3A2 in SPM(Deo Gratias),which really is surprising,considering the amount of effort I put in,doesn't really add up,but life is full of surprises.So I'm happy.Who wouldn't be???

I remember sitting down one of those days,and I was thinking about my future.Just so you know,I always believe on looking at the big picture before making decisions or doing something.So I thought:
Q:Why do I have to work?A:To continue living./Not get bored.
Q:What work do I want to do?A:(1)Pilot(2)Financial Analyst
Q:What do I have to do to get there?A:(1)Go to flight school(2)finish Pre-U.
Q:Where is the best option I've got for my next step?A:(1)Get accepted by MAS(pending)(2)A-Lvls(recognized as the "Gold Standard" for Pre-U education.)
Q:Which is the best place to do A-Lvls?A:HELP.

See,I like my method--Big Picture,cause if you don't get the big picture,you'll find yourself doing stuff without any reason.Without reason,you won't have conviction.With no conviction,you've got no motivation.Bottom line:You're really clueless.Clueless people will get to nowhere,since they don't know where they are in the first place,got it?

Evaluation time:Have you seen the BP of your life???

I said earlier that I like challenges,so let me give you a solid example:I'm from the Arts Stream,and to some extend I aced it.But I'm taking Math,Further Math,Physics and Econs for A-Lvls(most probably).I've heard of people switching from Science to Arts,but the other way around???It's a rare thing.But it's a challenge,something to keep me busy and on my toes.Frankly,I like it.

But there is a harsh reality to challenges,it's a fifty-fifty gamble.You either overcome it,or you fail.(That's another extra edge that I like.)The one thing that separates it from your normal betting game is,that if you're willing to work hard and do your best to face it,YOU CAN CHANGE THE ODDS,favoring you of course.If you do the opposite,then get prepared to watch yourself sinking faster than the Titanic.

Conclusion,I hope I will enjoy myself at HELP and hopefully win another challenge?But I also hope you people out there will find amusement in facing challenges in life and overcoming it(which is a real ecstasy but I'm not going to use orgasmic).Cause you can deny all you want,but LIFE is a CHALLENGE.Q:Are you going to step up and face it or are you going to back down?A:Different for each individual,as always,choice is yours.

Well,my sister just had her 21st birthday.So she makes quite a fuss about it,in the end,we had dinner in this Japanese buffet restaurant.Hmmm...not bad.My friends in Australia has been posting lots of pics about restaurants and food,so I'll follow.





Oh yea,my friend DX posted a pic of him doing spaghetti,and guess what,I did something on my own too,which I call "Tuna Le Mayonnaise de Egg La Cabbage so Celery".

Ingredients:
One egg(or more.Depends on how many eggs you like)

Purple Cabbage
One can of Tuna

3.Slice the cabbage and celery.Here you can either choose to boil it awhile or eat it raw.
4.Put the omelette on the plate.Next,put the veggies on top and put a teaspoon vinegar on it.Lastly,put the tuna on top and add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the tuna.

Well if you dare trust me,I dare tell you,you won't be disappointed.

Winger:In football, a winger is an attacking midfielderin a wide position. Wingers are usually players of great pace or dribbling ability so as to provide cut-backs or crosses from which strikers can score. Their main function is to support attack from the wings. Wingers do lots of high-speed running from attack to defence.[Source:Wikipedia]




Cheeky winger:A world-class winger named Cristiano Ronaldo who really likes to dazzle fans and manager alike with both his feet and his mouth.[Source:Me]



This fellow has to go say something like:"I don't know where I'll be in six months time".He has a contract with Manchester United mind you.By saying that,he IS causing lots of unrest among fans and manager,plus this ain't the first time.

So please don't follow him,especially in a relationship.Imagine if things are going great with your girlfriend,then you suddenly tell her,"I don't know whether I'll be with you in six months time"
Great Job,Genius.

Same goes in a job,unless you want to push for a pay-rise this way.Careful,you might get a push------>out the door.

Oh ya,I was watching this Japanese series called ENGINE by Takuya Kimura.It's not bad,about this racer.So I registered for my car lesson.The first step:Kursus Undang.Wah,surronded by all these old people who can't drive.Then have to listen to this guy talk about trash.5-hours.THE most boring 5 hours of my 17 year old life.I'll like to keep this a record and not break it,Thank You.
