How We Met A Country

  On the 30th of March 2010, exactly two years ago, four people and a cat were fighting dragons under a tree in a herbal garden in TTSS. They were fighting against the country of Sealand, which is some country on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Obviously, they won because they were awesome and decided to spread the awesomeness by creating a country - AWESOMASIA. Then they built awesome facilities in the country including Awesomasia High School, University of Awesomasia, farms, kindergartens, prisons and sports teams. They then went on to conquer and spread awesomeness in Borneo, Lahad Datu, Kudat, Damai, Institut Sinaran, STTSS, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Singapore, UK and Australia. And eventually moarrrr! They even survived the momentous lips and iron fist of Angelababe and a war threat from some kingdom called Andrewegria, which they lost, aha. All the base are now belong to us and we are over 9000! Awesomasia currently has a population of 55 people. We are planning to send the whole country to compete in the Olympics due to lack of participants. 

And that is the story of Awesomasia, which is an awesomazing country although we have no flag and no anthem. So,

HAPPY 2ND NATIONAL DAY TO AWESOMASIA!

And now, this is the REAL story of Awesomasia and what actually happened,

  On the 30th of March 2010, three people were really really bored in S2 XIAO and apparently not sleepy enough to sleep, so they made a country and called it Awesomasia, derived from the words awesome + Asia + awesomazing, NOT awesome + Malaysia. They wanted to defeat the country of Sealand because they heard it only has a population of 27. Btw, the princess comes from S2 ZHONG. Angelababe may have caused the sienzz-ness. 

But the fake version was wayy cooler so we're going to stick with that one. 

Make sure you memorize the Prince's full name, because it is really long:

Dr. Joshua Face Chang Hin Seng Alejandro Manzano Pen James Pocamantas Jjosh23 

(MBBS, MDE, minor in Dentistry and Tang Yuan manufacturing) 

Conquering the UK

p.s This is pretty much what we do in high school, when we're not sleeping.

Memento Mori means remember you will die.

Direct translation of course, I like that definition better. 

And who knew at some point in my life I would have to put that quote to practice

So,

Memento Mori in upcoming Holocaust Death Camp thing!!!11!!111

Sighh, 不要去可以吗? :(

我没有中到NS是有理由的啦很明显。因为我会死在那边。
And you will have to do my eulogy. 你会很麻烦leh。

Ngai zi bu guo he yi zak Sabah ngin, ngai zi bu guo shiong sit sang nyuk mien.
Mao sang nyuk mien ngai moi hi. :(

いっぺん、死んでみる？

Why did I write it so cinabeng? Because this is the online world and cinabeng is not a language. *tsk tsk*

Your Generasi

This might get weird and all, but don't blame me for being too sienz orhx. I'm just busy worrying about the things I should be doing, instead of you know, actually doing them. 

I watched this video and I must say it is really nostalgic.

And nostalgia means: Woah, remember when we used to do that?! 

And not: Woah, I so totally want to go back to being 12 years old again! 

Ha ha.

  But seriously, that was pretty much the primary school days, maybe it might be different for some people, but meh. Back then, size really mattered and it was horribly funny, haha, especially SIZE OF CRAYONS and height. Yes, I was (and still am) short, I know you don't know that feel. Stoopid awkward trolley bags which would bring shame to famry if you continued to use them all the way till Senior 3. Those bags were extremely awkward, but they're pretty efficient for lazy people like me who also happen to go to a school with only one storey, yay. I am not implying that I still use them, at least not for the same purpose. I put clothes in them now, and fly back and forth like a G6. 

  After primary school, it was mostly just bringing empty backpacks to school, literally. LEAVE ALL YOUR STUFF IN CLASS, even left my jacket and occasionally food and clothes in school, it was like my second home, lolol. Stuck all those post-it notes on my table like it was my own. I even remember that KHB project that I left in school for forever. I made this wooden shelf and never bothered to bring it home until I started using it for storage space in class, ahaha. But then, I brought it home in the end because I had no choice. And it was pretty. Because I had extra help making it. And it was pretty. And now, it's in the store room at home, wasteddd piece of scrap furniture. 

  Now it's the generation of kaching and iphones and all those technology that I don't even know how to use. Tiny adorable children running around with iphones and sitting around playing with ipads. Overhear parents asking their child if they remembered to bring their iphone. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN CALL THAT UNFAIR, OR MAYBE I'M JUST POOR. I bring a handkerchief around if that counts, awkwardface. Okay, I'm just poor and hobo. The point is, YER, Y U TINY THINGS GOT IPHONE WHEN I DON'T EVEN HAVE SMARTPHONE ALTHOUGH I AM NOT TINY LIKE U?! Seng zai fu zong bu zhi fu. :(

  Told you this would get weird. Though it is an improvement on the usual crap I write about, hek. I KNOW YOUR GENERASI BETTER THAN MY HOBO GENERASI LAH. =/

Sorry bro

University applications is where dreams go to die.

That was quoted from Jusua Chang, who is a choleric. 

  Imagine graduating from university with an awesome piece of paper which proves that you have been studying (or faking it really well) for the past few years. And then getting a job and working your life off to get a better life. You would probably realize that the best years of your life, are now behind you. Ha ha, your life is depressing. 

*replace you with I/me and your with my

  Yes, my life is boring which explains why I don't have anything to write about. High school had lots of events that I could easily blab about, even when I'm being a hermit and refuse to participate in anything that requires me to stay back in school. 

  On another note, I AM VERY DESIPO FOR SMARTPHONE. Phone bills are totally soaring because phone company is cheapskate, like me. They stop giving free stuff, I like free stuff, you can see how this is not going to work out. If you wish to whatsapp me, please give me money so I can buy a new phone. Literally all of my friends, and this time I really mean ALL, have a smartphone. Sorry loh all of you have to spend kaching to text me. Orang KK all have smartphone, I am not worthy to be orang KK. 

All Hands on Deck

  Micro is a prefix for ten to the power of negative SIX. A word of advice, keep that in mind. Or you might end up sad and depressed like me because I thought it was ten to the power of negative THREE. 

  I also realize that I have been posting a lot of pictures about Asian Dad. Deal with it, he is funny, unless he is your dad. Which means... Oh never mind. Anyway, all aboard the failboat. How is it that people make it through college alive and sane?! Okay, maybe the sane part is not true, everyone goes a little crazy, DON'T LIE TO ME SAYING THAT YOU DON'T.

  Sometimes when I peel potatoes, I think I am going to peel a little bit with my peeler, but then I peel it, and it peels more than I thought it would. And sometimes when I peel potatoes, I imagine that I am actually peeling apples that are shaped like potatoes. And then other times when I peel potatoes, I imagine that I am peeling regular-shaped apples. Apples... that is only sometimes.

So, that's pretty much what I feel like during my holidays. Like I'm the potato peeling adventurer dude in The Misadventures of Flapjack. Exact quote. Left my graphic calculator at dorm, YAY NO NEED TO STUDY BECAUSE I HAVE EXCUSE! 

30 February

Asian leap day: An extra day to study

Procrastinating Asian leap day: An extra day to procrastinate from studying

Today will cease to exist tomorrow. Fade into nothing. So, everything you do today will be INVALID. YAY, WASTE THE DAY! Tomorrow, it will be like today never happened, because it technically does not exist. Ha ha. Waste waste waste. 

Now listen to my story of Penny

Penny likes dogs

I don't like dogs

I have dog phobia

Penny wants a puppy

I told her I am allergic to dog fur

And it causes me to hyperventilate

Which she will have to take me to the hospital

Which she does not want to

Penny suggested getting a hairless dog

I said I would rather not

She said I might not be allergic to it

And stressed that I might be okay with it

But I am not

Penny does not see my point.

DO YOU?

BRAIN BURN!

Maths is so super bombastic, mind-bending
Eg.

Given that the equation of the line is y=2x+1. There are 24 hours in a day. Using the information given, calculate the speed of a projectile projected at 30 degrees from the ground.  Explain Newton's First Law.  If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? From your answer, what is the mass of the sun? 

*exaggeration may have been used, or it may have not*

那些年，我们没有做功课

And those days where a hot shower would supposedly help us solve all maths problems. 

That was a lie. It doesn't work. Ha ha. 

TTSS is the awesome. Or as you should put it now, it was awesome.

  Tshung Tsin Pagoda super iconic in memory, not that I spent any time there, but still, iconic. Doodled a picture of it in class using my memory, turned out to look like a wooden shelter overgrown with weeds. Guess I don't have good memory after all. 

Vacancy for lawyer

As quoted by Daniel Handler

Eine Trennung ist wie das Lesen Deutsch: viele schwierige Silben füllen dein Gehirn und Mund

That's Chinese, or Japanese, they're so similar I can't tell which is which. Or it might be Korean.

If you think you have to take sides, you don't.

Daniel Handler is awesome. Why We Broke Up Project. The ability to relate to that may vary according to your current situation. The point is I require that book please.

On another note, I also require a lawyer. To press charges. 

Not sure how to process current situation.

Sabina, you are right. And it is getting creepier on so many levels. 

EVERYONE EDU CRI! 

Google you so elaborate

Melt your COLD COLD heart

Enjoy your Valentines 小曾

Insensitivity is instinct, ha ha

And getting someone a guy is a very practical idea

Just not very plausible. Hmm. 

On another note, 

THAT FEEL,

When you leave the apartment to go and print an important assignment

Walk half a kilometre to some printing centre at night

That feel when you plug the pendrive into the computer at the printing centre

That feel when you realize it is empty

THAT FEEL WHEN YOU FORGOT TO ACTUALLY COPY THE ASSIGNMENT INTO THE PENDRIVE

Life: -50

Mana: -50

Determination: -10

Stupidity: +10

Awkwardness: +5

Urge to make Y U NO GUY face: +100

Now you know, that feel. 

And enjoy your Valentines too, to the rest of you who are not forever arone 小曾 

Breaking News

Soo, how's life? 

As you can see from the lack of words, 

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS HAPPENING. 

Only on CNN

But what about you? ;) 

Three Digits

HELLO

020212

Greetings to Kota Kinabalu :)

From Kota Kinabalu

Not anymore

And there goes 2011.

Happy New Year everyone! 

This is my ultimate dream.

Good thing I live near the beach, there's always fireworks! :D 

I can see everyone going out for the countdown, while I was sitting here typing this.

I is the epic fail.

Oh well.

If you believe in the end of the world,

Then there's 355 days left ;) 

It's still 2011

  Once, there was this motivational speaker who came to my school to, obviously, motivate us. He said that one of the perks of living in a dorm is that you'll have friends to motivate you, so he advised us not to hate it and to think of it as a blessing. His explanation made me stun and facepalm. (Yes, this is in some way related to my post, even if you don't think it is). 

  So you've got this big test coming up and you have to study hard for it or you'll flunk and get expelled and then can't find a job and become forever alone hobo and die in some alley, alone. Then you would probably tell your housemates about the test and stress on the fact that you're going to start studying an hour later. In that hour, you'll be procrastinating on the internet surfing soul sucking websites like knowyourmeme.com and for some people, facebook. And then you realize that it's been an hour, but it doesn't feel like it and you're too lazy to study for the test and try to convince yourself that you can waste another hour. According to said motivational speaker, this is where your housemates will notice that you're procrastinating and motivate you by saying, hey stupid, why aren't you studying, you got that big test coming, why you so lazy. (Exact words) 

  The point is, if you need to get something done, peer pressure will MAKE you get it done whether you like it or not. It's peer pressure, duh, one of the biggest pressures ever but not included in physics textbooks. So his advice was to tell people about our goals and we will not escape the wrath of our own words. And getting to the other point, it's New Year's Eve! Which means, New Year Resolutions! And writing them out for people to see will work to help you get them done. Pffft, I hope. (See, told you it relates to my post).

My resolution for 2012: 1360 x 768 

1280 x 768 is so 2011

  Sadly, I didn't exactly finish my resolutions for 2011, but for a procrastinator, it was good enough that I got at least three of them done, out of ten. Oh. I realize that's not  good thing after all. Which means I should make another better one for 2012.

2012 Resolutions:

1. Breathe more oxygen

2. Retrieve soul from 9gag.com

3. Change my calendars in the house

4. Send random texts to people screaming Happy New Year

5. Have dinner

6. Pack my luggage

7. Get on an airplane

8. Update blog with weird stuff

9. Get on knowyourmeme.com

10. Get off knowyourmeme.com

  Well, that's a better list. It's way more manageable than 2011 Resolutions where one of them was to stop procrastinating. 

  Gee, what a really long post to end a really long year. Haha, well, 2011 deserves a last post, because I don't want to go back and live it all over again so I have to close that chapter! Goodbye hardest year of my life. I will remember and miss you, not quite sure on the missing part though. 

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! 

It's still Eve by the way, tsk tsk, haha.

Out-With

It the Eve before New Year's Eve

And a winner is this: 

BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS BY JOHN BOYNE

 Go read it. Tollay awesome book seen through the eyes of a nine year old. It even censors the bad stuff. But it's really awesome, way better than the movie which was too straightforward of some sort. Halfway through the book everything suddenly becomes clear, so clear I don't know what to feel. Stun. I feel like the nine year old protagonist in the book. Don't google about it or it ruins the stunness. Just go, go and buy that book at Times. Or Popular book fair which I doubt is still going on. 

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.

- Quoted from back cover of the book (Reminds me of Lemony Snicket)

So don't google it. And don't watch the movie.

  Oh and I found out what those stuff written at the back cover of books are called. They're blurbs. And that also applies to those stuff written at the back cover of CDs and DVDs. I've been wondering what they're called and Joshua said they're not called synopsis, which is understandable because synopsis is a summary. 

The Word of the Day is: Blurb (noun). B-L-U-R-B.  Definition: Not summaries. Plural: Blurbs. Example sentence: What's a blurb?

Merry Holidays

Happy Dong Zhi everyone! 

With compliments from Kilang Tang Yuan Joshua Chang :) 

Send me some tang yuan. I require. 

In conjunction, but not-so-in-conjunction, with Dong Zhi, 

Christmas is right around the corner! 

So, have yourself a Merry little Christmas :D 

Even if you have no Christmas tree, like me.

  Awhile back, 26th of August 2010 to be exact, I wrote about a book I was super extremely desipo to get - 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' after  I watched the movie and it turned out to be really awesome. Then last week, I went to Times bookstore in Suria and I saw the book! Long story short, I am a hobo with no money and wanted to borrow Joshua's Times membership card to get the book. And longer story shorter, Joshua gave me the book for Christmas. So, THANK YOU JOSHUA.  It's an awesome book about the holocaust, yes, the holocaust. Though reviews claim the book is way too fictional and not logical, I DON'T CARE. I owe you your pull-up bar. Haha, got the book after a year of hunting, yay. 

p.s. Now I want a travelling pillow because my neck hurts on the plane. 

p.p.s I was kidding. I'm gonna get that myself okay. 

p.p.p.s Or am I.

Anyway,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Santa Claus did not die for anyone, REMEMBER THAT. 

(I will now be partying Christmas away till next week or until I regain conciousness or maybe not)

PARADISE

Woah, December is my least updated month. Now read this rambling post of an awesome movie.  

  After all these months of waiting, I finally watched Paradise Kiss the Movie! My life is now meaningful, haha. *dramatic metaphor* Lucky that I somehow magically found the DVD in a store, I didn't think they would have it.

And it was awesome! :D

  Mind blown. I never thought the movie would be so epicly awesome since it was made from anime series that actually had 12 episodes, which in turn was made from a manga series that has 5 books. Pretty impressive, or maybe I'm just being biased because Paradise Kiss is tollay awesome. 

  Well, the story pretty much stuck with the original anime series. I wish I read the manga, but I can't find it anywhere, copyrights and licensing prevents me from being a pirate and reading it online. Bsh. The movie's left out all those insecurities and jealousy parts, so it's pretty much just about Yukari being a model for George's team in a fashion show. Then she realizes stuff and more stuff. 

  Yukari, the main chara, is actually really pretty and her hair is really nice. So is her cellphone, LOL. Weird thing to notice in a movie eh. Haha. And Miwako also has nice hair, but I kinda think she's a little too tall, she's almost as tall as Yukari and she could have been the model in the first place, she's pretty. Everyone in the movie is pretty with exaggeratingly (this is not a legit word) nice hair , except Tokumori, who looks kinda yong soi. Sorry.

Paradise Kiss is tollay a movie of nice hair.

Hair like that just doesn't exist IRL. Nobody shows up to school looking like that. 

Falalala

Tis the season to be jolly

  And grateful, because there shall not be a season like this one ever again!!1!1! From my point of view, that's a little depressing and because of the lack of kaching in my pockets and bank accounts and secret stashes, I will be spending the next Christmas in perpetual summer at home. Without the strands, who will be having a possibly white Christmas over in the Northern Hemisphere. Oh well.

  And also tis the season to get over my computer addiction, which isn't that bad by the way though it does sound a little like it so I should give it the term, computer reliance, excessive. Surprisingly, computer reliance increases during the exam season and almost caused me to flunk and also completely flunk, every single time. My laptop somewhat broke down and it'll take three weeks to get fixed, RAGEEE! Sabina, tak boleh skype.

  There was this weird syndicate that kept texting me saying hi kawan, saya Linda and blah blah blah. Well, 'Linda', I am not your kawan and I don't want to text ON FELA to 66336 or 63663 or 66366 and etc. Haha. I wonder how do they send all those out?! 

  What happened in December anyway? Why's everyone writing songs about December, pfft. The next December song is gonna be about my report card and how it matches the decorations on Christmas trees with all the red stuff. 

3/201

First floor, the door on your left. Come back in another month or so :) 

4 months and semester one flew by.

 Well, semester one passed by pretty quickly. Dowerin was a nice class, never boring. I didn't think I would miss that class this much. Too bad we have to change classes next year or it would be really awesome. Funny how I spent most of my time wishing to go home. Repeating process. 

  But on the bright side, exams are over, yay. Had to go through extreme stress studying for the exams and lack of sleep for 3 nights straight. Mentally imagining rainbows and prancing unicorns in my head, wishing I was somewhere across the sea. Then talked with my neighbour and roommate till 3am after the exams were over, watching movies at my place, haha. Extreme destress! 

  Hmmm, next up, semester two. I guess the year's almost over eh. 

When you see it.
