I can't think of a title because my brain is occupied with my pilot study so just read it

I've been crazy busy with assignments and my personal life, and thus, have absolutely no time to update this blog. Sedih. So many things I wanna write about but so little time.

But anyway, I noticed something. So I have quite a few blogs subscribed into my Google Reader. Usually when I have a little bit of free time, I just scroll through the new posts to see if anything interesting is happening in the lives of my favourite bloggers.

During this Ramadhan month, a lot, and I mean, ALOT of bloggers love to post up pictures of what they had for iftar the day before. I know some might do it because their readers asked them to, but some proudly declare that they're posting them up cuz they want to make their readers (specifically those who are fasting) hungry. And I guess I just don't get it.

Have you ever tried eating in front of someone who is fasting? No? Why? Because you feel like it's rude and disrespectful kan?

Sama lah! Faham tak? kthxbye.

Inception


Christopher Nolan does it again. With familiar faces like Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy, the director managed to bring the gripping suspense and ingenuity from the likes of The Prestige and The Dark Knight, movies which were both also directed by him. This time, he plays around with the concept of dreams, giving out the idea that if you can get into another person’s unconscious mind, you can find out their secrets.

The suspense manages to build itself up after the first 15-20 minutes, takes a hold of the audience and doesn’t let go, literally until the credits start rolling. Even then, you’re bound to spend the rest of what’s left of the day arguing over which outcome you think really happened at the end.

With a wonderful cast, (Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page of Juno fame, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard to name a few), great script and a fantastic storyline with amazing twists, Nolan takes his audience into the world of dreams, where you’re never sure if you’d ever wake up again.

To my beloved friends

To me, friendship is defined, not by the amount of fun you have when you’re out and happy, but the amount of support they give you when you’re down. The ones who are always around for a good time may not necessarily be there when you’re in trouble. It’s the ones who stick by you no matter what anyone says about you – the ones who aren’t afraid to tell you you’re wrong, the ones who, even from afar, will try to help as much as they can whenever you need it, the ones who aren’t shy or scared to ask you outright how you’re doing when you’re sad, lonely and depressed. Those are the ones for keeps. Because although they can’t be there when you celebrate your birthday, or couldn’t make it for your wedding, you KNOW you can count on them when it really matters.

I think you people know who you are. Thank you for blessing me with your wonderful friendship.

What it truly means.

All those times, those "horrible" break-ups, getting cheated on, fights and cold shoulders with certain ex-friends. All those times, I thought my heart broke.

Silly me.

But then you know what they say: Ignorance is bliss. It truly was.

For me, it's like time stopped. I'm registering for my masters program tomorrow, but it feels like I'm going through the motions. The excitement I felt a few days ago is either gone or has found a good hiding place somewhere I can't find.

I'm being strong the only way I know how: to go through life as if I'm fine.

Now I know what it means, I can only count on my prayers and the support from my beloved family and amazing friends.

Please help me pray that everything will be ok.

Seriously?

I'm so embarrassed. Ni la mentality kita kan?

Making fun of someone who doesn't even understand our language. Bagus.

Notice which country/race has the most comments on that page and you'll truly see the mentality of these idiots. How shameful.

Proper Gym Etiquette (According to Me)

1. If you're required to sign into a registration book, don't flood it with complaints of this and that. Take it straight to the management please, cuz I doubt they even read those. You're wasting your time and space, and making the book an eyesore for those who genuinely want to sign in.

2. Bring a towel ( you will see why)

3. Try oh try to catch your sweat droplets before they make their way onto the machine or the floor around it. If this is impossible because you happen to sweat heavily, do everyone else a favour and wipe the sweat off the machine at least. It's seriously disgusting to start using a machine and find it sticky and full of your sweat.

4. This is rather specific, but seriously, if you have bad breath (actually, even if you don't have bad breath), please la jangan turn your machine towards another one and proceed to mouth-breathe on to the person using said machine. It's another very disgusting habit, esp because if you DO happen to have halitosis. So inappropriate and nausea inducing, thank you very much.

5. If there's one treadmill (or any other machine) and there are people waiting to use it, try not to take your own sweet time? I mean, I know you got there first but courtesy and logic should tell you that other people are paying the same maintenance fee that you do, and therefore, have as much right to use that machine as you do. 20 minutes is fine. 25 is already pushing it, more than half an hour is ridiculous.

How to Trick Suckers into Giving You Money in 3 Easy Steps

1. Have a mega, MEGA promotion on bus tickets SO cheap that suckerseveryone gets excited and pumped up because their next holiday is gonna be awesome and super-cheap due to the discount on bus tickets.

2. Make it so that their bus tickets can only be used at a future date. Eg: If the current date is June 2010, only make the tickets applicable for June 2011 to October 2011. That way, suckerscustomers won’t be sure what plans they might have, but will be optimistic about being able to move things around so that the trip WILL happen.

3. Sit back and watch the magic happen. Out of 100 suckerscustomers, maybe 40 will actually be able to actually make it for their super cheap bus trip and the rest will probably have to forego their hard-earned few hundred bucks because some important thing or other popped up. Like new projects or work stuff. Or important quizzes that conveniently take place around the time the trip is supposed to happen. Or family stuff that suddenly takes first priority over anything.

And there you have it. Follow these steps and you’ll be rolling in dough in no time!
