Switchfoot Live In Malaysia

Finally got it. But to be honest, I'm looking forward to seeing Love Me Butch more than Switchfoot. Oh!

To those who are going, better start memorising lyrics so that you won't seem like you went to the wrong concert.

Chinese Adam and Eve

Auntie Jackie:
"God made a mistake. If Adam and Eve were Chinese, no way they would have eaten the apple. If got apple and snake, of course they eat the snake mar..."

Slipknot - Before I Forget

Insulted or Marginalised?

Saw Puan Noorliah today while dropping off the laundry at the dobby in SS14. She didn't recognize me, saying I was shorter and my hair wasn't as long. But somehow, I doubt she even remembers me. I feel brushed aside, but whatever.

Ate Pan Mee at SS19. Some guy came and asked for donation for a home and was selling Chinese New Year cards. When he went to our table where me, my mom and sisters were sitting, he addressed us as "siew che" or maam in cantonese. I was like: "Should I feel insulted or marginalised?" And mind you, I already got a hair cut. Did I mention that?

Weird day today is.

8/1/2008 - 16/1/2008

To those who miss me, well I'm back in Malaysia once again.

Would upload photos on my Vietnam/Siam Reap trip, but I have no means... So all I can say about the trip is Angkor Wat was cool, shooting with and AK-47 is cool, and crawling in Củ Chi Tunnels was cool. Other than that, Vietnam and Cambodia was just OK.

Call our family crazy, but after we touched down, we went straight to The Gardens. Got myself a pair of Clydes, drooled over some Evisus and after that we went to Jalan 222 to eat some Ah Hwa Hokkien Mee.

Now don't blame me if my post seems stupid and pointless, but it's for the sake of my friend Qi Hong who once upon a time complained that some of us don't update as often as he does.

Just kidding.

Just a few alphabets that form words that form sentences that form 2 paragraphs.

New Year Resolutions. We all make them don't we? And o how hard do we strive to keep them during the first week of the New Year, but just seem to forget all about it as we get more and more busy with our daily lives. But new year resolutions are nothing more than guidelines we set out for ourselves to change our bad habits and cultivate good ones, and we all know how hard it is to do that.

Regardless, let's venture into this New Year with a sense of empowerment and that we'd be able to break free from all our entanglements and leap across all those walls overshadow us and leave us in the dark.

My first tag!

My full name is
Not to be disclosed.

People call me
Jo, Josh

I speak
English, Mandarin, Hakka, Malay? Cantonese, but just enough to order food.

I hope that Malaysians would

My ideal girl (for guys) / guy (for girls)
Beautiful, slender, loving, warm, calm, devoted.

I would like to get married

My weakness is
I am self loathing.

I'm gonna tag
Nobody. Don't want to impose my will on others.

Not as pro as JS. Duh~

Just some random pics after the rain. Only so few that can be considered ok...

Hiccups

I am not sure why but I had approximately 6 seperate cases of the hiccups today. 5 yesterday. Could it be my coughing, or the supplements I had to take because of the cough? Hmmm...

*Hiccup*

It's seriously driving me crazy, especially when all those remedies don't work but you still try them. This is like the first time I've had it in a year. And 2 days in a row?

*Hiccup*

STOP PLEASE?

*Hiccup*

Damn...

Jo's Wishlist V 1.0

Since Qi Hong made a Want List, I thought, why not I give it a shot?

1. Nike SB Takashi II Dunk Low



I mean what's there not to like about this pair of kicks? I just like the flowery pattern, gives it a sophisticated feel, without ruining the whole "It's a cool pair of sneakers" vibe, and then there's that silver swoosh!

2. Kiks Tyo Check My Kiks Tee


What better way to show off your new pair of sneakers with a shirt like this?

3. Kiks Tyo Christmas Set


Actually who wouldn't want to wear a tee with a hot model on it? Wait, don't answer. I might not like it. Actually this one isn't as nice as the previous Aki's but hey, hot model plastered all over my shirt, good enough for me!

4. HOKKIEN MEE
This is actually what I'm craving for THE MOST!

LALALA~

[Insert Intelligent Title]

Canberra certainly has so few hot chicks/attractive females (Choose the one that is the least degrading or most appealing to you). Everybody says so. And it was very apparent today. They probably say the same thing about guys but that doesn't really concern me now does it? Anyway went to Sydney today with my parents. Didn't do much. Just ate Dim Sum and walked a bit. Pass by Espionage, wanting to buy a new pair of sneakers.... And saw a really hot asian chick. If you were in Sydney on 22 November 2007 wearing a light green top and fishnet stockings and had great hair, please leave me a message. I want to know how you got your hair to look like it did. LOLZ. Anyway back to Earth. Wait. Nothing interesting happens on earth. LALALA~

Another random and useless post by yours truly.

Should I get a job?

Farewell G204

As I left my room on Sunday, seeing my room empty and clean just as it was 9 months back, I kinda felt weird. It's weird knowing that you'll never see the same view from that window again, or to hear the loud engine of the rubbish truck at 3 in the morning. I'm really gonna miss that room... I feel sad. =.="

Looking forward to the holidays ahead!

Trying to learn to read newspapers ( Don't be surprised. I can't read newspapers properly!) and financial magazines.

LALALA~

Lucky ☆ Star

Moe~ ! This anime is awesome. And Konata reminds me of myself. It's like Otaku Overload...

STAT2001, have mercy...

3 Hours to D-Day. Need to stay alive. Wonder if the Starbucks helps... God help me...

Update:

Half an hour to midnight. Reading time starts at 9.15am. And I'm seriously f*cked. I thought I could cover everything I need by today, but I still haven't. Time is running out and I think probability of failing for me is seriously high. But probably failing a subject is what I need right about now. Life has no discipline, no bounds, no structure. Studying without those limits is just impossible for me. Probably after failing this paper, I'll be able to be more focus, and have more drive and motivation so that I won't repeat this ever again. Sometimes in life, you just have to fall only to know what it's like to stand back up again. However, all this words that are coming out of my mouth, are they just to justify the lack of motivation and ambition I have in my life? Are they just the morphine to the pain and suffering that I have to face if I fail this paper? Is it to give a reason as to why me or my parents shouldn't feel ashamed and disgraced at this failure?

You're probably thinking, why the hell are you typing all of this when you could be studying you dumbf*ck? Well like how you described me, I'm not very wise at times. And all this while, my whole entire life, I don't think I can honestly say I have worked hard for anything in life.

Oh well, screw all this bullshit. I think I'll just concentrate on passing tomorrows paper and get on with my life. If I fail, well I'll just have to waste an elective on this same course next year.

Please forgive my repulsive language. It is utterly disgraceful and distasteful, I have to admit. But even writers are allowed to express themselves in this undignified manner, so I don't see why I can't too.

Update 2:
Just came back from the exam, and I can only think of one word: "SHIT!" I think everyone in the hall was thinking of that word as well, or somewhere along those lines.

At least it's over.

Panadol to the rescue! (Fingers crossed.)

I'm sick with a soar throat and a bad case of the sniffles and exams starts in 5 days. And with being sick, I'm not sure I can manage to study everything in time. Oh well... God help me! *sniff sniff*

Jo vs STAT 1031 Assignment 2

I just finished my Introduction to Actuarial Studies Excel Assignment, and let me tell you, it was so so frustrating. I think my words alone might not be able to justify the intense emotions of hate and irritation I had for the assignment. Imagine running a bloody macro (no idea what i means? click here!) and having to wait 5 bloody minutes? Excel is not responding and my com is lagging like a bunch of seniors on the road. And once the macro is finished loading, I notice an error in my data and I have to go through the data and correct them and run the macro again. And VBA is so retarded. Not all Excel functions can be used on VBA it seems. A simple function like Ln cannot be used in VBA. But that's not really the problem as using Log instead would solve it. What got me worked up was the fact that I didn't know that the Ln function couldn't be used in VBA and I had to spend more than an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my code. And did I mention that I'm using a 4 year old IBM Thinkpad? Not exactly powerful... But what I'm really bummed out about is that this is just a basic assignment but it's already quite annoying. In total 35000 simulations were runned but still I don't think it should take 5 long tormenting minutes to process it right?

You know what? I think you didn't really understand what i typed above, so let me summarise it for you. Actuarial studies sucks. (Well not really but I think it's fun to be a whinger...)

Silent Scream= ACCA Side Project?

Love Me Butch~ Barricade


Since Qi Hong let me listen to Revolution by Silent Scream, a local Malaysian Band, I suddenly remembered about this band, Love Me Butch. I think this band is awesome, so check it out! Their latest music video!

Wui Li, I still can't get over the fact that your lecturer released a single. I find it very amusing. It seems like Malaysian music scene has some hope. I just hope that Malaysians would support the local scene. Imagine our bands being more popular in Phillipines and Indonesia and not Malaysia? Well I hope in time to come, the Malaysian music scene will take over Asia. Fingers crossed. And I'm not talking about some Siti Nurhaliza crap. That ain't music. Well not to me. :P

Please forgive me for the title if it doesn't make sense. ( Chances are it won't.) Just couldn't think of anything.

LALALALA~ Another rant!

Note: Qi Hong wants to start a band. He's gonna be doing drums! Anyone interested?

BBC HARDTALK featuring special guest Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid Albar

I remember watching this like a month ago on the BBC news channel. Wonder if it was aired in Malaysia. Well anyways here's our good ol' Foreign Minister being interviewed and asked very sensitive questions that will get our asses handed to us by the ISA if we were the ones asking. Well not really but hey it's an eye opener and I just thought I share. All Malaysians should watch this in my opinion.

In all seriousness, I think there's nothing wrong in telling a lie or 2. After all he's our Foreign Minister and he's like our nations publicist and must ensure that our country's image and reputation is maintained. But please Dato', you really need to improve your lying skills. Maybe learn a few new lines. I'm sure you could have done better. I personally wasn't impressed and I think people could see that you were just lying through your teeth.

I have nothing against NEP other than it isn't working. And I don't think Malay Supremacy is good for Malaysia. We need unity, not racism.

I actually thought of posting this earlier, but later realising it being Hari Raya, I changed my mind.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!~

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
I ate my "lemang". LOLZ fine it's a leftover sushi roll. Damn forgot to take a pic.
One day, I must go for Tun Mahathir's Open House. One of these days, if God willing.
Anyways if I do have muslim visitors, just hope that you had a great Ramadhan and hope that every Malaysian has an awesome Hari Raya! It's Balik Kampung and Buka Rumah time! Yeah baby!

Lalala~
