Ceret Beret.

Food poisoning is no good, it ruins your entire system. It makes your consciousness go 9 miles underground, your conscience to fly up in the heaven, leaving a soul-less body finding its way to toilet and bed, panaldol and worse still, in my case, college to sit for Biology assessment.
All this lengthy grievance could be summarized into just few words in hokkien,
Wa Por Thor Car.......
Literal translation would be:
My stomach grinding.

This is human, we like to intensify our expression with long-winded description, while you can just bring it down to four words or maybe less, in your mother tongue.
'Happy Chao-angmoing,  you indoctrinated bunch', the line that I find really funny when I was discriminated against by 'my own kind', so to say. They have their point, but people like me that already, not quite yet, find balance between the lingua franca and my language derives the most benefits.

At least, I have a set of "secret codes" within my own family.

Hulala, I'm very high tonight. Just finished my five hours movie rally, "The Fountain" and "The Schindler's List".
I do recommend everyone to watch the latter one, which is relatively touching for me. Well, if it is touching for me meaning it is touching for everyone! Tears are part that you should not not-shedding in this movie, with the saddening violin background, it creates a gloomy atmosphere and induce immense grief for the innocent killed during the war.
Let's take it farther, I questioned myself, should a person who committed crime against humanity be killed? But I'm not in the mood of such philosophical angle as I always do. Should pacifism placed above fascism? Well, I just couldn't help to stop these questions popping on my mind. And why should a person help another person? I could answer this in a very simple manner, because of sympathy, it is human nature to bring joy and happiness to others to gain a sense of satisfaction.
I'm slacking today, and my test is yet to come in 4days time. I'm slacking still.
Anyway, I would like to grab this opportunity to congratulate 2011 SPM candidates on their marvelous results. But do remember, in order to go far in your life, what really matter is a compassionate and kind heart.
RMC having 4 straight A+ students, while Chung Ling High School scored an at least 50% of 8A's students. World goes crazy man!
Well, i have a best friend grumbling about her SPM results, although she got straight a's. =.=
while my childhood friend is satisfied with his zero a slip.
siao liao.

Blogging

Mar 11, 2012

As I've decided to explore yet another new world, not many of my friends know that I'm keeping a blog. Only Li Ren knows it, I guess.

I regard my blog as a sanctuary to express my feelings to another world, the social circle of my oldself.

Many will think that my blog is very long-winded, redundant, no coherency, you cannot blame me for that as I'm brought up in a high-context culture. And I'm proud to be an Asian. The x icon is just a few cm away and you're at anytime welcome to click it. I don't follow English rhetorical rule to express my feelings and I don't need your approval either.

Let's deal with today's topic. Drawing lines was always difficult for me, not knowing where to stop had caused me various problems.
Sometimes, I had tried so hard to avoid something from happening, yet they happened. The fun part is I only realized them when I was overwhelmed with ambiguous feelings.
Not anymore.

"I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference" by Robert Frost.
Well, line drawing includes deduction, anticipation, long term planning, lastly and most importantly, intuition.

I chose selflessness over selfishness.
If the circumstance allows me, I would go all out for it, I will strive for the best, and I will hope for the best.
How unfortunate that world is not always perfect.

Getting over something is quite difficult, it is always difficult. You need to be harsh and mean towards your own feelings. You need to confront your own rebellious feelings. And what you think is always different with how you act.

I wish I could read minds, so that I could understand your thoughts. I do so because I care of you. Yes, you, whomever it may concern. Wonder if you even know what's my blog is.

Time to pack up, and sit for my Bio assessment tomorrow. Good luck to you and me. ^^

你好!

The Blind Side

Feb 15, 2012

I was watching this movie, Sandra Bullock's Blind Side.
I stopped, and decided to make my blog a blog, to express personal feelings to the public. (err, attention seeker betul, but siapa nak baca your blog?)
I used to keep a diary, but you know, life is hectic as a college student, not even a second should be wasted. (btw, today, i spent 2hours on ipad's games)
Sometimes, i feel that i'm a jerk. Utterly repulsive jerk. Seriously. What to do? Tell me what should i do.
perhaps, everyone has their blind sides, good ones, bad ones.
Being a jerk is my sole bad blind side, but it is the worst one.
I was studying sarcasm yesterday, only I realize my definition of sarcasm is totally opposite with the universally accepted one. I always thought that being sarcastic could bring happiness to others, since for me, I could get over some negative remarks easily. Yet, there is only one Pee Li on earth, it means that only one guy on earth is that insensitive.

The negative effects on teasing and sarcasm reads:
Teasing and sarcasm can be funny, but if they are taken too far or occur too often they can have a number of negative effects. This is because they both prey on peoples' weaknesses, highlighting them for a cheap laugh or just to be mean. This can make people develop insecure attitudes and also make it hard to trust peoples' intentions.


On one hand, I made friends around me feel insecure, which I concur to the facts on the web when I put myself on my friends' shoes. On the other hand, I bring happiness to many. As when you spread happiness, you couldn't escape from it too. Yes, I am happy, as always.

But I wasn't. 14 February 2012, I wasn't. It made my day worst when that foreign student who do not value the friendship but certificate spamming my phone. Finally, I learnt to ignore others.

I am who I am. I make no good student; I make no good son; I make no good friend; I make no good junior; I make no good senior; I make no good bf. But my intention is always good. But if this issue is delved deliberately with arguments and facts from all side analysed meticulously, one can come the conclusion that I not a bad one. I fail no paper in studies; I kill no parent; I hurt no friend with bad intention; I cause no expulsion of my senior; I beat no junior; and well, I tarnish no girl's reputation and dignity.

I just want to start again with a clean sheet. But, could I?

I call this clown syndrome.
While bringing others happiness, no one makes you happy. Because everyone is seeking happiness and few offer happiness.


Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
James M. Barrie
Scottish dramatist & novelist (1860 - 1937)

After all J.M. Barrie got this wrong. As it doesn't adhere to Physics law, where light travels in a straight line. Well, if you consider the duality of light, the light waves still moving away from the source. So how in the universe can those who emit be shinned upon? On the surface, that object is lustrous, but internally? It is a mystery unless you unveil it.

Anyway, I find this song awesome!

Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
'Cause I'm goddamn cold

p/s: to those who know me, don't tell me if you've read this. Keep it to yourself.
