The Friend Test

So yeah you may think mine is another one of those test with questions which asks about questions about myself and my likes and dislikes. Well it is nothing like that at all. All I can say is that it does test how well the participant knows me but the interesting is that is also determines the characteristics of the participants.

Bare in my mind, that the questions are referring to the participants and not me so be honest with yourself when answering. The results determines what kind of person the participant is to me as well and that determines the distance of relationship I have with them.

I do apologize for the annoying spam offers they bombard the participants with afters though.

Eat This

An interesting point which was brought up by my friend that had got me thinking.
That I should not view future relationships in the same light as my previous ones. Thought about it, and while it was meant to sound good, me being the person I am also saw some flaws in it. Especially when it comes to disparity between the two genders.

I believe in the saying 'learn from bad experiences as to not repeat those mistakes in the future'. I also believe that applies to relationships where one should avoid unnecessary problems which happened before in previous relationships. It is only natural that we would not want the bad history from repeating itself and would prefer an improvement, or better progression if you will.

Now if those of you who are reading can understand where I am coming from, I proceed by asking, why would anybody want a relationship which would be similar to previous experiences well, in terms of the bad points? An EXAMPLE would be a me having a bad history with a girl who was possessive. I would never want to be with another girl like that.

Come to think of it, maybe what my friend was trying to say is that I should not stereotype all girls to be like those I shared relationships. If this was a bigger country with more variety in types of people, I would agree. However this is otherwise, here. This land... this peninsular where parents somehow developed some unspoken system where they brainwash their kids to just do as they're told with no questions asked, where they are assured that all they have to do is get straight As in exams to guarantee a bright future followed by becoming doctors/lawyers/engineers while taking music lessons; usually piano on the side. These make up the majority of their kind. My kind. These parents breed lifeforms which seem to have been fashioned from a template. In gaming terms, it would be known as the 'cookie cutter' build.

These clones then congregate in a community welcoming everyone who are like themselves and shunning people who are different. People who have their own thoughts, people who inquire about why things are, to gain more knowledge and insight, more understanding as oppose to being comfortable with being ignorant where whatever they do not know will not hurt them.

Judging people at face value and not wanting to find out more regarding the situation and as I have mentioned before, making statements and claims with no compelling evidence/justification or even so much as a valid or relevant reason.

Perhaps they are not clones, but mere faceless figures/beings. Background casts in a scenario. The scenario of life. Maybe limitations are blessings in themselves. Like how a crippled person does not have to worry about walking or complaining of walking too far. Or how a poor person does not have to worry about being robbed because he has nothing really to lose in the first place.

Perilious Rude Irritant Careless Killjoy

Okay I have been trolling other blogs.
I think that people who blog just to gain attention from others be it sympathy or praises should just go die. I do not want to say get a life because seriously... it is a waste since there is an absence of life, why not just go die? All the way man.

Especially when they cannot spell right or construct a decent sentence free of grammatical errors. Some people try to sound deep by giving their thoughts but usually fail miserably when they say something similar to "I think [insert object] sucks because it is ugly." They do not bother explaining why they make such statements.

I guess everybody has friends whom they want to impress. I do not.
Let me play Mr. Insecure for you shallow people trying to find fault with me. You may be wondering why I blog then, if I do not expect anybody to read. On the contrary I do expect people to read. However, I am not desperate or deprived of attention. I say what is on my mind and I type/write it well. Furthermore I do not expect majority of the people to understand or agree as to what I post. Not bengs and lians anyway.

If one is to make their online presence known, one should make one's self presentable. You do not go around in public with singlet, slippers and shorts do you now? What would that say about your character? Here is a cheapshot to your face. If you find what I posted, offensive to you, well then perhaps it was intentionally meant to provoke you.

Please do not soil the internet with your presence, please do not use blogging accounts as another form of popularity contest like what some do with Friendster.com. They really fucked it up so much so that I deleted my own account[years ago] as not to be associated with those retards.

I'm Rich!

Well maybe not rich like rich people rich but hey it is an income after a long while of bumming around. Thank God for helping me through the half of the month! A pleasant surprise that my pay was more than enough to cover what I spent on my LCD monitor. Surplus! More savings!

As weird as it may sound coming from me but at this point of time I am actually looking forward to going to work. Imagine how it would be when I get a full month's wages in the future. Bwahahahaha~

Of course there is SOCSO and EPF... well EPF is for my future so hey no argument there.

By the way, Carl's Jr. is finally open at 1 Utama, last week I think. I went there for dinner last Friday with Shawn. Their burgers are so huge they make wh****rs look like a joke. That being said, their pricing of burgers are similar to American Chili's. Nevertheless I believe it is still worth paying for once in a while. I tried the mushroom burger thingy... I forgot the name but it was the most expensive one on the menu, one bite into it and it felt... orgasmic? It felt like heaven graced my taste senses. Tears almost formed in my eyes!

I advise you guys to go try it out as soon as possible before the typical Malaysian treatment of downsizing the size and lower grade ingredients.

Not The End of The Weekend!?

Argh... I did not get any of my work done during this weekend.
Still quite tired and recovering from the first week of work and yet I have a dateline this Wednesday which means I have to complete the works by Tuesday.

I can understand why some people after coming back from work would just like to crash in front of a television and just watch stuff. Well in my case, in front of my computer and watch anime. Astonishing as it may sound, I am slowly losing my drive to play World of Warcraft, as it requires too much time. Time which I had lots to spare when I was not working. However since working, every little minute spent during my free time is worth so much.

The World Is Flat...

I sacrificed well deserved sleep this morning to head over to Low Yat with Shawn. He needed to send his computer for repairs while I was looking for a LCD monitor. Yes I have finally succumbed to getting one myself when I have been supporting CRT monitors all the while. Do not get me wrong. I still love CRTs and think that they produce better images than LCD. However there has not been much development to CRT monitors and as such, I decided to get the LCD monitor. Not just any regular LCD monitor, but a widescreen monitor. Yeah now I have more desktop space which means I can spread out more windows which reduces the need to alt+tab between programs. As for gaming especially in World of Warcraft, I get to see more of the surroundings as well as have more screen space for my mods too!

Some of you might be wondering why I blew a hole in my savings to get a monitor when I already have a perfectly fine CRT monitor. I needed something to cheer me up. I needed to reward myself for being able to get a job and enduring it. Consider it as a carrot on a stick if you will. Sad thing is, if I do get paid this month, it will be barely enough to cover what I spent on this monitor.

3rd Day of Work

I got bombarded with more work at once. Not just that, I get them after more than half my day has gone. Clients... dump me with their less than organized content and charts. I do not even understand what they are because this is business-investment-corporate related. Best of all I cannot just simply pull pictures from the internet anymore which greatly hinders my progress in image editing for the products.

What I would give to through my ordeal of the previous freelance once a month...
