Mend thy wayward ways, foolish mortal!

Yeah! On the 29th of February 2008(2007??), I have chaired the very first meeting in my life. Turns out to be a MUN Annual General Meeting 2007. No, 2008. (I am starting to feel like Bush or Badawi, making stupid bloopers) I was shaking my ass off with nervousness two hours before the meeting in the library and racking my brains how to impress the impressionable crowd.

Someone 1: You mean you was scaling the steps to the Silent Zones in the TUCSJ library to finish some Math homework.

What was I saying? Aha, met this couple of African girls by the steps outside the lecture theater. They were sitting down there. "Probably joining the meeting??", I thought to meself. Then they started talking about some underwear and other (s)explicit stuff which I did not care to hear, but they heard me snicker anyway.

Someone 2: Mend thy wayward, perverted ways, you epitome of a joke.

So anyway,like I was saying...(at this point, he ain't typing anything special)

******************************

So I was being snickered at for getting my year wrong. Oh bugger, it wasn't as if I was nervous,was I??

Wei Zhen did a great 1st timer's job of introducing the the major committees (finally got the spelling right) of the UN and it was quite interactive. IMHO.

President Lek (Chairman Mao) was not present as he was taking part in a Science competition (giving a talk on communism and loving the people) so he left MacBook Pro under my harshly tender ministrations (hammering away at the keyboard).

Left after the meeting to Sunway to catch a movie (and grab some unplanned bites) with the rest of the PM4 students. It was all nerd talk from then on. (just joking guys...)

Realisation: try not to go shopping with girls you do not really know.
Reason: you will not be able to see any reason

Out of no where: there comes that ominous squeal of seeing something interesting in some shop called Diva London and the relaxed runnings to the shop (yes, girls are capable of keeping their composure while running...). Luckily Esther was not participating in the Free for All, or was she?

Movie was very family-ish and it jerked a lot of tears from Wei Zhen's eyes (or so she claimed...heh) and it showed the rest of the world what a mean asshole I am as I laughed at the part where the dog died...movie's called Martian Child by the way.

Owe KV 11 bucks. Sue Wei's bf came over to Pizza Hut because he had nothing else better to do. A perfectly fine reason.

Finished Call of Duty 4. Heartbreaking end. Even I was rooting for Gaz the occasional asshole. Jackson didn't have to die so fast now, did he?

Tonight's postings consist of rather random fragments of my experience yesterday. Attempt to derive whatever you are trying to derive out of reading this blog.

Will do the Tag at a later date...say, tomorrow when I am more sober?

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't

"I have finally took public transport! I mean, the LRT or PUTRA or KTM. They are all different entities and only until recently have I found it out. Oh, how shallow is mine knowledge in these matters. It is enough to embarrass a stupid cow. But yeah, I have conquered my mountain, just like Muhammad, I have approached it. As the saying goes, "If mountain cannot come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to mountain." Simple. Yeah. Public transport is a piece of cake. ", says John.

Who the hell is he kidding? He who spend nearly 2 hours running around like a headless (and perspiring) chicken looking for ticket counters and right platforms so that he don't end up in Sri Petaling when taking the Ampang line. Oh, for the love of God.

Thank God Leelian was there to guide him to the Kelana Jaya station counter. Then again, that was her stop. No problem, guiding a public transport "virgin" for his tutorial hem?

So, how was the rest of my week before the euphoric episode of sitting on the train/LRT/PUTERI/KTM?

A little joke from Lloyd Lim, a dude from my class.

He has this teacher in his school in JB who taught him a subject I cannot remember, but what I do know is that she was very strict with her students. She's Indian and she's fat. (No rascism is intended in this joke) So, there are certain times when she goes patrolling throughout the school corridors (I'm not too sure about this part, but I do know she walks around) and she will cast her eagle eye around her to pick out any students worth dishing out punishment to. So, Lloyd's pals nicknamed her "Black Hawk Down". Haha.
I metaphorically cracked at this point like a Ming vase being dropped from the second floor of a penthouse belonging to a rare antique collector.

Pure Mathematics is turning out to be quite a big problem. As my lecturer Miss Chia said, students do experience burnout. So, I should actually use my Friday to relax and weekend to finish up my work.

Aiyaiyai, the MUN club meeting for the over 100 students will be held next week, 29 February 2008 from 3 to 4 pm. And I have not prepared the important materials to be presented on that day. Better use my time wisely.

Ken Vin's birthday celebration will be held on the 24th February when in actual fact it's 26 February (I got it right, right KV?). And he's inviting all the chicks there. I cannot miss this opportunity.

11 more days to the release of God of War: Chains of Olympus in the US. Not that I can buy it anyway.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Okok, I have been looking for a PSP game that can really put my console to the test instead of not using it and leaving a voraciously docile monster of a PSP in its cage. So I have decided to want to get God Of War: Chains of Olympus for myself. Whether I can afford the tag is another matter. Check out this vid.



I really wish to get a button mashing game because I feel the buttons are getting sticky from lack of use.

Cute movie!!! But quite stupid plot...

Went to the movies today! Wohoo. With sis and Wei and Keshinn and Deepaa and Josh. Watched CJ7 (do not ask what the title means, it has a stupidly long explanation...) which was pretty cute. The alien I mean, not the child who was sexually confused about who (s)he was. Want a cute movie to laugh about and make the children smile? Watch this movie. Without cynical and sarcastic people of course, they'll spoil the atmosphere. Just slap duct tape on their pieholes and enjoy the movie. Oh, I tear-ed once...on quite a stupid part. How sensitive!

What I have written, I have written.

I like these few Latin sayings I am lifting out from a website.

"Quod scripsi, scripsi." (What I have written, I have written--Pilate. And he probably did speak in Latin.)

"Veni, vidi, vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered. (Caesar))

"Exegi monumentum aere perennius." (I have erected a monument more lasting than bronze. (Horace))

"Carpe Diem!" (Seize the day (Horace))

(at this juncture, I am starting to wish I can read and speak Latin...)

"Veritas Lux Mea" (The truth enlightens me / The truth is my light (Motto of Seoul National University in South Korea)) --originally intended to be the motto of the Taylor's MUN club but KV disagreed and said that people cannot read Latin. I couldn't agree more.

Homines libenter quod volunt credunt. Men freely believe what they want to. (used by Julius Caesar)

"non omnia possumus omnes" (We all cannot do everything. (As Virgil explains in the Aeneid, no one has expertise in all fields.) )

"nemo me impune laccessit" (no one harms me unpunished (the motto of Scotland for roughly a thousand years or so))

"Meum pactum dictum" (My word is my bond)

"Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam." (to the greater glory of God - motto of the Society of Jesus)

"De omnibus dubitandum" (Everything should be questioned - Karl Marx) --including the theories you expound....

feels like tonight

Suddenly, all the boxes in the cold storage of my microprocessor start jostling and juggling around. Something is waiting to burst open. Wonder what it is..

~~~~~~~~~~~

Aha. Well, As the public should know, Taylor's University College Subang Jaya (or TUCSJ for you seniors) finally has a MUN club! Hah. With a very radical person in charge. Godbrother and Good Friend Lek Ken Vin. Oh MY God. And I am VP. Guess what was the first thing he told me when he first suggested the proposal of the club to the ECA centre and I 'hah'ed at him.

"John..........................................................be a leader for once...."

What the frigging shit. Thanks a lot.

Nevertheless, Taylor's has over a hundred members now, thanks to all the members of the EXCO.

We are going to have "helluva" lot of fun! Wohoooo!!!!
No stopping us now, including the bureaucracy at the ECA Centre. *Evil lol.


~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh ya, my sis is coming back tomorrow from some ridiculous people's idea of a camp. Hah. No need to cook by myself 'adi'!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

I have some downloaded movies for her to watch! Hah, she's going to be soooo pleased. There's Miami Vice (my personal favourite, lotsa action!) and a session of Russell Peters (big time dirty and racist joker). Bwahahaha.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been tagged!!! Arrgh!

There are some rules that I have to follow if I were to do this tag but frankly shouting, I do not give a bloody damn about rules. The running of the MUN club of Taylor's taught me that. Proceed throwing all caution to the wind.

Questions:

1. What is your dream when you were a small kid?
To be a garbage collector. Ok, that was just a joke. I had plenty of dreams. Being a pilot. An officer in the army. A priest. But I chose to take the road less traveled. And it has made all the difference in the world. (haha, would you believe he's following what Robert Frost said? Crap.)

2. What is the happiest thing in your whole life?
What kind of a question is that? I am only 17! How would I know what made me the happiest in my whole life? I have not even lived yet.

3. What do you wish to have right now?
A job which pays 100, 000 Euros a month, tax free.

4. When is the last time you horse laughed?
I am a human. I mean, I know that we descend from apes (according to the theories expounded by Charles "Unbeliever" Darwin)so how can I laugh like a horse? I laugh as heartily as my human capabilities allow me to which does not make me sound like a horse.

5. What did you realize recently?
That I tend to ramble when I am sick. Which is what I am doing now.

6. Which bad habit in you that is the most unacceptable?
Farting in public? I mean in public toilets..heh. No, my worst habit is swearing ever so liberally and adding expletives to every noun I can get this microprocessor(we call a brain) on.

7. When you are unhappy, what will you do?
Throw a tantrum and throw everything breakable and unbreakable everywhere. No, that was what I did when I was a kid. Now, I just swear.

8. What are you afraid of losing?
My soul to the devil.

9. Within 5 years, which target is the most realistic one?
Going to Germany to major in Mechanical Engineering.

10. List out 3 kind(s) of people you hate the most.
(1)Lackeys
(2)Cheating husbands/wives
(3)Fake people

11. Define loneliness?
An absence of someone which makes the heart fonder?

13. Are you satisfied with your life now?
Quite. (nothing witty to say..)

14. When is the most recent time you felt touched?
When I called someone and she said that she was "so totally flattered" that I called her and she did not see it coming.

15. Where is the most beautiful place that you've visited?
Malaysia. Hah. I have been overseas twice. One was to Chandigarh and the other was to Houston. I must say I prefer US to foul smelling India.

16. If you have a wish to come true, what is it?
To be able to buy a Porsche 911 Turbo and still afford the road tax and drive it on the Autobahn.

------------------

Got bored of the questions....

Doped like a fish

I'm up to my gills in coke partied down with drugs.

Just kidding. I nearly finished a 1.5 l bottle of Coke which was watered down with salt. Taking my antibiotics too.

Yours untruly (and insincerely) was sick for almost 1 week. Possibly got a virus from Grace or Kelvin. After all, in college, people are always in close proximity with each other (not the "close proximity" as in khalwat u ass) and it is of a high possibility that people get infected from each other's germs.

I am starting to ramble already...

Vavavoom

I have to wake up at 6 every morning to go to college.

Correction.

I wake up at 6 every morning to go to college.

Makes a lot of difference, doesn't it?

I watched Miami Vice a week ago after it finished downloading from bittorrent. What a great 2 hour movie. Full of adrenaline-pumping action, from Ferrari s that are nitrous injected to shooting scenes (and Gong Li...).

Played the piano a lot but still cannot master a song. Could be my method of practicing.

Oh yeah, back to college. Every morning, I have to put my spam/nonsense filter online. Jason and Tzu Ken will be cat fighting and....I will pretend to sleep like the rest of us.

Classes are real hectic. Honestly, I thought I signed up for 4 main subjects and 2 additional subjects. But it seems to take the whole bloody day (1 hour per sub + lunch time). Feels like bloody school, only a better. A whole lot better, but it still sucks. Still, I am studying what I signed up for and that's what I like about CAL.

Made a lot of new friends. Really decent people. Oh yeah, I acquired the skill of dissecting a person (judging people, in plain English minus euphemisms). I know it's very bad but I cannot help analysing people's habits and idiosyncrasies. Some people strike me as polite n goody-goody during the first week and go all Jack-and-Jill-went-up-the-hill-to-fetch-a-pail-of-water during the subsequent week minus the breaking of crowns and tumbling-afters.

Ken Vin suggested setting up a MUN club/society for Taylor's. And you know what he told me when I told him I wasn't sure??

"Be a leader for once lah you!"

What a blow to my ego!!!(already I have such a small one, he had to add more salt..)

And worst of all, one of the guys in charge of the club management (ECA guy, we call him) was annoying the shit out of Ken Vin. Haha. He was kinda relaxed in that sense and here is where I learn that being diplomatic and standing-up-for-the-underdog crap of mine does not stand. I tend to defend the defense-less. Why am Ii so nice?

Oh yeah, borrowed The Secret History by Donna Tartt from the Taylor's library. Great book. But I think I'm going to take 3 weeks to finish it because of the amount of work I have to do. (the cover of the book is falling apart...wt??)

Crazy Bout Me

First week of college was super!

Shove all that aside for now first. I have more important wants to attend to

When I get my own space aka own house aka own apartment or unit or condo or whatever...I will:

1. See to it that I get a great sound system (that doesn't anger the neighbours...)
2. Listen to classical music or lounge music while eating dinner (either on my own or with female company..)
3. Get a helluva great settee (no...not for that u arse)
4. Cook my own lunches and dinners using the freshest ingredients possible
5. Have some homies come over!

Sudden Inspiration came while sitting on settee.

The Great Big Obstacle

That GREAT BIG OBSTACLE in my daily life is.....the Christmas Tree. Ok, was kidding about it being an annoying obstacle, but rather it is a pleasant one. I mean, I have got to skirt around it once in a while but hey, I'm cool.

I'm even cooler now. I removed it. Hah!

Accomplishments of 5th January 2008.

1. Successfully cleaned a chicken (meaning lungs, heart, windpipe, etc have been removed).

2. Wiped the filthy, grimy, sticky, and oily stove clean. Bwahaha! Kukukuku.

Not many accomplishments, but who are you to judge? How many things did YOU accomplish today? I'd like to know..bet you're just sitting there using up valuable oxygen and space...hah. The last one was a joke...kukuku.

The Power of Love!!

More about the title will be explained later.

Firstly, went this morning to school, much to the mirth and snide grins of "Still schooling?" of the numerous teachers encountered.

Objective: Sell off old school books.

Assistance Courtesy of: Ming Yi.

Duration of mission: more than one hour...

Due to the unpunctuality of Datuk Ng Wei Li and YB Deepaaloshini Kumar.

Then more delays were omnipresent:
They consisted of, generally, Ming and Wei saying hi and explaining to confused, just-waking-up-from-my-really-late-night-or-sleepness-night juniors. In other words, it was to be expected of squirrels who do not naturally have bright eyes and bushy tails. Ming was kinda proclaiming "Slap me awake!" to me when she arrived at circa 7.50 due to the sleepless night. A self inflicted incident.

Then on to Form 5Sc1. The 2008 batch I mean. Unruly lot, this one. Still they were quite nice in welcoming their already-graduated-seniors. So, made a total of RM64.00.
What a pleasant if not quick and sweatless business transaction.

Was fetched by Dharma who was with Ken Vin riding shotgun. Then went back to school to fetch Kelvin. During this trip, I discovered Dharma had a short temper...which was to be expected..heh. A school bouncer aka security guard redirected him to park in a different spot. I leave it to your imagination to figure out what he said which made me laugh my A off.

Went to Pavilion and had some fry cakes aka dough-nuts at J Co. It was sooo sweet and sugar and chocolaty and everything nice, I got so sick of nice girls (sugar and spice and spunk and whatever and everything nice) for a while. Nono. I mean fry cakes. Kelvin claimed he had soo much to eat. Will elaborate why I choose to say (type) this now.

Li Wei was going down the escalator (in...something close to style) and which was how we saw him.

Blablabla, blibliblublu. Chat, talk crap..(I meant football...it was a typo) and went for a last minute rush to GSC. Ken Vin asked for 5 11.00am National Treasure tickets. It was currently 11.05. Ads, his excuse. Kelvin's popcorn ordering delayed out transit to the cinema hall severely.

Nicholas cage has a receding hairline. He hid it poorly with that tepee. He looked horrible. What's an old man like him going out with a chick like her? (whoever she is..)

Finished up at the cinema and went to TGI Fridays. Had the Friday's special burger with bacon (sorry to you Muslims out there) and beef (sorry to you Hindus out there) and finished it. Kelvin ordered some whipped cream sundae or something and said that he was too full and feeling fat after the doughnuts. When the sundae came (which KV hid behind what Kelvin called his ass), it's whipped cream was almost spilling out of the glass. There goes your diet, Choo.

Had some laughs.

Went to Times and bought a book by Vince Flynn, an upcoming neo-Tom Clancy.

Went home.

The End.

echoes of my mind

What a lamo title. Sounds like some cheap and low quality pulp fiction which is sitting at the back of a library's storeroom, lying in the dust, forgotten even by the one who wrote it.

Ok, drama class is over. For more information on how to act and express yourselves online, call 012-XXX-XXXX.

All right. The title has something to do with.....me at home. Alone. No sister here.

Stuffing myself to the brim with movies, Internet, and music.

While others study hard, I relax hard.

4 hours and 30 minutes time to 2008.

To all reading, have a nice celebration with your family and friends, whether it's in Dataran Merdeka or in front of your tv (lazy bum). Soak up the atmosphere and sweat and odour together. Hello 2008!!

A tag a day keeps all weird questions away...

Lek Ken tagged me about this thing. Feel free to hit Alt F4 to see the deeper secrets of John again like the previous posts.

List 5 presents you wish for:
1. Uh, lots of pirated DVD games and movies. Officers, you cannot stop me!
2. A PSP game
3. This is not exactly a present, but I sure hope that God will allow the man who cuts my hair (a barber...sorry, a saloonist) to enter into heaven after that 3 weeks of lung infection which took his life. And to think of it, I hardly know him, but if someone were to do something as intimate as cutting your hair, would you not wish as I did?
4. This, like the former 'present' is not really a present. I hope that the father of a friend of my mom will recover from HIS lung infection. Terrible business, this lung infection.
5. I wish for all the people whom I meet, those who wish me well and those who don't, to have a good life, whether it is or it isn't at my expense.

If I were to put the last 2 first, I would be crazy, as the saying goes, "One must take care of oneself before one can afford to help others."
Still, I believe that everything is equal in God's sight, numbers included. So He will treat every 'wish' as important. I think.

My 5 impressions of the person who tagged me:

1. Was previously fat, very. But he took the effort to slim down. When one notices this, one will think that either that person became a self conscious narcissistic freak, or that person takes the criticisms of other people seriously and constantly strives to improve himself. I think Ken Vin is of the latter. And do not dispute my opinions. i take criticism harshly and will deal back in kind. (Just a joke for the layman who is a novice to insulting people.)
2. Brilliant in terms of studies and very streetwise. ( I am not sure that one outing ...not a date dumbass...can justify that but he was the one who took me on a tour, unadulterated, throughout Pavilion, albeit seasoning it with coughings and complains of energy loss..)
3. A real dumbass in terms of housekeeping. But like I said, don't take my word for it, see it for yourself. Haha. Now Ken Vin will have lotsa company.
4. Socialite. (speaks for the circle of friends and acquaintances he keeps)
5. Egomaniac? But I'm sure he has changed after the camp. Haven't met him in person ever since "Pavilion" but I'm sure he changed...right?

The Most Memorable thing he/she has done for you:

You mean the most memorable thing I have done for him. Well, there was once, the first time I actually talked to him in person. Certainly not the last, as you can see from his posts. Well, he kinda bullied my sis in Std 6 I think, so I decided he needed a whooping and so I confronted this 5 feet 9 giant (he was like my height that time ok...and I was...short.) in the school courtyard. And I challenged him to a duel to the death. No, stupid. (Nazeera calls this condescending talk...I call it putting one in one's proper place.) I didn't whoop him, and, no, he did not cry, you ass. I just told him to fuck off my sister's case and stop fucking bullying her. No, stupid. I just told him to stop bugging her without the expletives. Check out expletives in dictionary.com if you happen to be in the dark about that word.

If he/she is your lover, you will:
Scream and ask God to strike me dead, for I am certainly not gay. Who here thinks Sharon Stone is hot at her age?

If he/she becomes your enemy, the reason will be:

because I stole his girlfriend? Haha. His taste is definitely not mine. He goes for Chinese, I go for the rest of the races.

Pass the quiz to 5 people you wish to know how they feel about you:

I am definitely going to pass this quiz to nobody. Call me spoilsport, call me 'not-fun-wan-lah-u' but you can shove it up your ass for all I care. I, for one, do not want to know who wants to shag me or bang me up the ass. I also do not care whether I am friend or foe to anyone, because, if I were to die today, I will stand before the throne of God and look at him straight in the face (if that's possible) and tell Him that I have done my best in my life and screwed anyone else who got in my way, as that is indeed the core way of the survival of the species.

I am a real drama queen. I mean, king but the phrase only comes with one gender, if you know what I mean.

what I have done thus far

I have a Bittorrent client. With which I have downloaded the last 2 episodes of LOST season 3 with. Now who says someone leaching from a neighbour's wireless cannot commit piracy? I have done it. Very well too. Just don't ask me how long it took to wait for 700 MB to download. I will strangle you. And yes, that is a threat.

Got The Gladiator soundtrack. Not very fancy but it'll serve as some ambience while blogging.

Watched Bourne Ultimatum on an unlicenced (that's an euphemism for pirated) DVD yesterday, followed by The Pacifier. BU was damn great, which was punctuated by my sister's squeals throughout the movie.

check in at the checkout

FYKI (For you kind information)

Did you know it takes an average of 4-5 hours to check out from time of request in a government hospital.

................................(I only come up with this title because I cannot find any other like "when fingers intertwine" or what not...)

Ok. Since i dislike social gatherings, I will not go into detail my prom night. Well, there came this time where my sis got bored so we went around taking photos with our soon-to-be-ex-classmates. As of this point, I will not flatter myself by saying that girls were clamoring to take photos with me. Did I flatter myself? I do not think so. But needless to, also, say that I can't take appear in photos well. I, in fact, look like crap. My photogenicness is like my voice-genic-ness. I appear horrible on photos. I sound bad on recordings. I hate pictures of myself, especially candid ones. I hate the sound of my voice on tape. There.

Went out with Ken Vin on Thursday. It was not a date you a-hole. Went to pavilion! Whoo. I love posh places. Not enough time to tell the tale.

Happy xmas peeps.

For the mouth speaks of what the heart is full of.

When a good and honourable man speaks, he takes it from the store of good things in his heart.

When an evil person speaks, he takes it from the store of defiled things in his heart.

For the mouth speaks, indeed, of what the heart is full of.

What the right hand does, the left hand must never know.
If the left hand ever knew of what the right hand did, the former would certainly take a butcher knife and chop off the latter.

With a Bang!

I feel sufficiently re invigoratingly happily perky (not quite a suitable word..perky..) to finally blog! Wohoo. As it happens, I have just finished reading a very bad mouthy book full of vulgar words that destroy the very roots of goodness of everyone sane, but seem to cultivate the evil of darkness spreading in a certain few. I am one of the latter. So what the fuck...perhaps the diarrhoea (that's true English English spelling btw, not American) of these words will seep into your minds. Your few sadly unfortunate minds.

WATEVER Fuck!

Okok. Down to business. Tomorrow is.....Drum rolls please...

*papapapapapapapapapaparap

PROM NITE! Wohoo!

What an anti climatic end.


To those of you interested in knowing what I did last holidays after SPM, piss off, it's none of your business...just kidding.

Read tons of my mom's books. Did not have the time to go book shopping. Probably won't be buying any more that 1 book from the miserly amount of RM20 MPH book voucher I got for the elocution contest. Sigh.

Not much of a life story, but it'll make the cut, I'm sure.
