Vanity is a "HE"

As the title indicated, this is a vain post dedicated to yours truly. So, if you can't tolerate the level of narcissism (which is uber-ordinarily high!) you should just click something else right now.

I felt like it's been eternity since i last critiqued the absolute awesomeness that is ME. don't get me wrong, I am uber-lutely sure that I am AWESOME. It's just that I have to evaluate my awesomeness to see if there's any room for improvement. So here goes... Top-down...

My awesome hair has gotten longer and even more awesome.... Now I can style it spiky, puffy, wavy and even comb it nicely... I'm thinking of dying my naturally brown hair blond... Hahaha... I kid... I kid...

After taking some groundnuts cookies during CNY, i have learnt my lesson - No nuts cos nuts will give me pimples outbreaks. Now, the precious face of yours truly is even more smooth, firm and fair... Thanks to ample times invested on facial treatment, scrubbing and cleansing... Amen.

As for my body, it turned into a total stranger after the festivities that was CNY. Was following a rather tight tummy lost regime... Consisting of running, swimming, more running and skipping dinner and also not eating carbs... Beauty is definitely pain and after much suffering for the past few days... I'm proud to say that I've gained back my V-shaped figure. Yay yay yay!

My legs... one wish - get longer. And two words - Sexy hairs. Nuff said...

Thanks for not throwing out. Have a nice day.

Aiya... Aiyeh...

Was running around my school. Exercise running, not doing errands running. Was feeling absolutely awesome because i got to let off some steams and just enjoy the freedom of running in the dark. was very exhilarating because my imagination sometimes made me thinks that there are shadows following me in the dark, so i would run faster. The longer i run, the happier i became. There's something in the air at nights that makes me feel ever so fresh and exciting! Fairy dust!

Down the stairs into the fields across the roundabout passing the mosque enter the faculties up the hills i ran. When i was about to collapsed and lactic acids were building up to their threshold in my every muscles, i headed back to my dorm. Satisfied and exhausted. Time for a long and cold shower. Then i would rest a very long rest.

Turning the tap but nothing came out.

Aiya... Aiyeh...

No water......

Still Taking Ang Paus, Thank You for Gambling

It's a popular tradition for chinese folks to give and receives "Ang Paus" or pocket money during the chinese new year celebration. Usually, those who gives ang paus would give willingly and happily if they have many children, like the couples in "Cheaper by the Dozen". But those with no child / one child / two childrens would be rather depressed because they will burn a hole in their pockets, because they don't have enough children to ''Breakeven". The happiest person in the whole wide world (well, at least in my household...) is not the children though... It's actually the adult and single / unmarried folks. Why? Children get standard rate ang paus ranging from RM2 to RM 20. But the singles actually get ang paus ranging from RM2 to RM 200, and the ang paus with more than RM50 inside are the majority.

So at least one of the singles would of course be very happy because he can then give his pocket money back to his folks and also donates some to charity.

It's also a very popular but unspoken tradition for chinese folks to gamble during chinese new year celebration. There are two types of gambling (well, at least in my household...), You get folks who drove all the way from Northern Penisular Malaysia to Genting Highland, and Sentosa Island just starting from this year. They didn't go there for the views or for the theme park rides. They were on a mission to be more properous and accumulate more fortune. These are serious gamblers who occasionally praise the handlers in the casinos when they won, and definitely curse and acold the handlers in the same casinos when they lose. But my dear friend who works in a casino (as the handler who always definitely get cursing and scolding from losing gamblers... Unfortunately) said that everything boils down to control...i.e. WHEN TO STOP GAMBLING... AND WALK AWAY... Gamblers on a losing streak are not exactly having excruciatingly depressive bad lucks, they lack the CONTROL and always think way too positively in terms of winning their losses back...

And i quote my friend : "Thank you for gambling in ???? Casino. We hope that you get more and more optimistic whenever you lose your money so that we can get you to lose more money when you are on your losing streak. Just don't curse and scold me due to your lack of CONTROL." End quote.

Another type of gambling is with your family (parents, relatives, cousins, friends too if you're close enough). I personally like this type because it's not exactly gambling per says since you're chatting and catching up with your fellow gamblers most of the time. Your mind is not focusing on winning, but rather just to chillax with those close to you. I was goofing around BIG-TIME impersonating different personalities / celebrities with my folks. I didn't even feel bad losing because i only lost RM50 but the jokes, stories and times i get with my folks were just priceless...

Of course my cousins (who learnt the art and different games of gambling from me when they were young) were always happy to win my money and of course they thanked me for gambling and losing to them...

You annoyed me...

Dear people who annoyed the hell out of me recently,

1) You're not a God. You're not a saint. You're not Mother fricking Theresa! Stop mothering and intefering with your independent juniors in the debating society. They have brains that function pretty well. Frankly speaking their brain are much more intelligent that yours when it comes to decision-making. When they are not following your 'orders', that's because they thought it's totally stupid and irrelevant. They just don't want to hurt your fragile little heart because they don't want to waste their time to console you when you start crying. That's why they don't tell you that they actually hate you. So go get a life outside debating and stop nagging and pestering your juniors.

2) Not everything is about you! Get that?! People can survive and train without you in debating. People still can eat and chat merrily without your always-focus-on-the-negative-and-very-annoying presence. Heck! people actually have more fun when you're not around them. Life can goes on without you. If you think that you are an important person in everybody's life, you seriously need to reconsider, Honey. i just happens to know a lot of people who are very irritated by your constant, silly, unreasonable and childish tantrums. They don't even want to hear or see you anymore. So please stop making everything about you, unless you want to annoy more people away from you.

3) Silly biatch! why must i sigh a fucking form when i have a fucking official letter with me? Does the form makes you work your heavy ass faster? No! Since when did you came up with this shiteous fucked-up system that makes you grow fatter? Since forever! I fucking hate you silly biatch and i hope that you'll get fired from your job. Thanks for wasting my time and delaying my salary.

4) Gosh! stop being an ass-holes and move on. Your parent gave birth to you so that you can at least have a decent life. so you seriously needs to fucking move on, away from her.... It's not gonna happen... There are other girls out there who's far more low-maintanance and much less silly than her... Remember - Not happening... MOVE ON!!!

5) I'm not your mother, I'm not your fucking boyfriend. You need to realize that seriously i have more important things to worry about (like whether i get to eat for the coming weeks without my salary, whether i can complete my master degree in time, or even whether i get to find LOVE before i die!) that your bowel movement or whether you want to meet up with a person that actually hates you for lunch or not! Don't waste my time and energy...

6) It's not happening between us. I don't want you back. You are too psychotic and annoying to be with. Gosh! You literally suck out all my positive energy with your crazy, envious and bitchy attics... I'm too good for you, I'm way out of your reach. So stop texting and pestering me to meet up with you. stop nagging me to give you a second chance. You sounded so cheap...

Happy New Year! May you live a better life and stop annoying me...

Best regards,
Jerry

Debating in BM and Personal Glory...

Last night, we had an awesome debate with the team from INTEC.. IN Bahasa Malaysia!!! And i was in the team representing my college. I was so nervous and excited when we were prepping for the match. It's been a long looonnngg time since i last debated in Bahasa Malaysia. I even practised in front of the bathroom mirror (That's the bigger mirror i can get... With full-view of my entire upper body... So i'm not complaining!) and i sounded so weird trying to speak Bahasa baku... I even laughed at myself because i was practically stunned.

Good thing i had a very strong team, consisting of Iejan (my absolutely wise and witty team-mate back when we were joining BM debate in our first year) and Hidir + Jija (our equally wise and hardworking juniors). We helped each other with our points and argumentation and all was great because we were just so in-tuned with each other. Really enjoy working in an awesome team with smooth, effective dynamic.

We were up against so smart-alecs from INTEC, they came late... Booo Hooo... And they were unprepared. We absolutely kicked their sorry asses during the match. Iejan was being his usual whimsical and yet commanding self. Hidir was calm and collected as the second speaker thanks to Jija helping him to come up with his speech. And i was really sarcastic and mean as the whip speaker. i practically whipped the sweats out of the INTEC speakers... (cue evil grin....)

By the end of the match, they were looking so defeated and we were just happy that we gave our best performance despite not debating for so long already. Unfortunately, we lost to INTEC because we made the mistake of rejecting their case although we could've just accepted and attacked them straight-up. It was a lost with small margin, but we had so much fun.

I was even named as the best fricking speaker in the match... Seriously! I was caught by suprise by that announcement. This means a lot to me because when i started public speaking in primary school, i started with BM... So nostalgic and magical...

We invited them back for rematch and i'm sure we gonna kick their asses even more strongly the next time they come... Revenge needs to be seek, Justice needs to be served...

Till the next post then...

Good day! Good day!

i have to thank the monkeys that came into my room this morning. The woke me up with their cookies eating gathering. If it was not for them, i would've been late for my appointment in Damansara. Of course they got their rewards... Some packages of cookies and my oranges... Gotta get new cookies and oranges now...

i'm so happy today. We finally got the clearance from the treasury department to use the remaining of our project funding. We also got our funding from our fund provider. Now we have more than enough funding to ensure full-speed ahead for our research. This means me getting my Master degree sooner than planned. Yay!!!

On a more personal note, i was working very hard few months ago on a student exchange trip to Australia. Canberra to be more precise, at the Australian National University. Today i got to know that my generous school is giving my team more than enough funding for our little study trip Down Under. This is totally awesome because i get to go visit my friends, cousin and aunt too after our trip to ANU. It's been a long time since i last saw then. i really miss them all.

i'm well from my tonsilitis too, finally... Was taking it easy with what i ate during the past few days. But today i let loose after i was 100% sure that my throat and my stomach can handle the situation! StarBucks' Caramel Machiato was the first up. Followed by one carton of Dutch Lady Low Fat Milk plus half a package of large Kellogg's Frosties. Lunch was Egg noodles with curry and Beef Lasagna. (P/S: Was running around, hence the high calories... Then again, I have very high metabolic rate... Kudos to that!)

Gearing up for dinner now. Was keeping my stomach empty for the Chinese New Year celebration dinner in my dorm.... Hope i get to eat delicious foods...
