I I, I will be fine; just say you'll stay forever mine.

had my personal qualities assessment test this morning, a prerequisite for adelaide university's health science courses. Section 1 was a huge rush and i ended up guessing quite a number, but i thought section 2 and 3 were pretty okay. the hypothetical scenarios required alot of thinking; weighing the pros and cons of your actions.
for example, a man named Mr jones was a former drug seller, but after returning with a new identity he is now the main cash provider behind a charity which helps homeless people.
would you report him to the police?
should justice always be upheld, even if its at the expense of the welfare of the homeless?

















(ps. sp knows best)



so i shall refrain from commenting excessively. No point crying over spilt milk, or bad test scores, i firmly believe. which leads me to question the purpose of the test. i mean, my qualities already so obvious. obviously damn good. ah well the vagaries of university admission that i have yet to grasp and doubt i'll ever will.


hm in a week monash should reply me. fingers crossed.
but damn even this action results in pain now. stupid bar chords. no pain no gain was what a wise man once said. though personally i feel if he was smart enough(albeit less of the sadist) he'll have gained the same by bypassing the pain, that of wish i'm planning to accomplish. sometime. soon. hopefully.

i think.

The kite runner is another great book. revolving around the life of a boy named Amir and his servant Hassan brought up in afghanistan. really intriguing story, made me remember what its like to really be unable to put down a book. though the sad part is i genuinely believed it was a factual story. until the coincidences got a little too, coincidental.




















ah the olympics has been pretty interesting. though i still have yet to come to terms with woman lighting twice their body weight and having muscles as such. all along i thought only insects and arthropods were capable of pulling that off. and that was the way it should have stayed.

speaking of woman a certain friend of mine has been quite actively recently. late night escapades, raunchy in-car activities at unearthly hours. Ah glad to see your friends growing up one by one. ah the feeling of watching your hard work pay off,

priceless. for everything else theres mastercard, duh

an old man, a young man, and my life's greatest lesson.

firstly i would like to comment on how the below post contained sub-standard japanese.

i would like to apologise for that. especially if it didn't manage to put a smile on your face.
i mean, how could someone say that about my best friend. (aka someone's gay man wh*re)

makes me sick.

loads has happened in my life lately. Since the last post, i fucked isat again, went for the monash interview, decided to apply for dentistry as well. i really have nothing to say about Acer and their test. answers that appeared as clear as day to me were apparently wrong. for example,

'Advice is what people seek when they already knew the answer but wish they didn't'

Which of the follow best describes the above statement?
a. regret
b. confirmation
c. avoidance
d. arrogance

the answer seemed very obvious. but yet my sister disagreed. she says its because i was too cynical.
perhaps thats why she got higher 29%.
despite the fact that we were only 10 marks apart.

so i decided to do the interview. monash previously had no qualms about my isat anyways, as long as i do reasonably well for the former i would pretty much be given a place. hopefully.
i thought i did pretty okay this time.
last time i thought i did pretty well.
and i failed.

by now you probably have detected a strong pungent smell. yes, thats depression. comes when a relative close to you passes away. i really regret not being able to see her for one last time, though at least my sister did arrive to do so. she was supposedly greenish and having spasms, not to mention in a great amount of pain. its cancer afterall.

currently reading this book by mitch albom, tuesdays with Morrie. about a dying man who has ALS and as he withers away, speaks to Mitch once every week, a different topic each time.

i asked Morrie if he felt sorry for himself.
'Sometimes, in the mornings,' he said. 'That's when i mourn. I feel around my body, I move my fingers and my hands-whatever i can still move-and i mourn what i've lost. I mourn slow, insidious way in which i'm dying. But then i stop mourning.'
Just like that?
'i give myself a good cry if i need it. But then i concentrate on all the good things still in my life. On the people who are coming to see me. On the stories i'm going to hear.. I don't allow myself more self pity than that. A little each morning, a few tears, and that's all'
How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity,
don't you agree?

How about a magic trick?

Lets put a smile on that face.

Watched Dark Knight and damn was it good. Two and a half hours at the cinema and money well spent. Although I must question the sensibility of the ticket attendant to sell us tickets with pre-determined seats without us determining what seats we wish to occupy. Not to worry however, I rectified that mistake by taking up whichever seat I wanted upon entering the theater. Comfort first is what I believe in.

Tiger Airways was forgettable. Leg room was minimal, and the space was made worse by the fact that the lady in front of me decided to make herself as comfortable as possible by reclining her chair to the point I can see the back of her head when I sit up right. Also, the smell of SGD4 instant noodles is ever present throughout the flight. Whining, I know. 'Real men don't whine' is what I heard somewhere before. I guess by his definition, instead of whining, real men choose to punch a wall with their fist and thus spraining the wrist for a few days. Bravo, a real man indeed.

A: yk doko desu ka.
B: Shirimasen.
A: Gakkarida desu ne.
B: Iie. Ii nyuusu desu yo.
A: Sou desu.

How about a magic trick?
I'm gonna make yk... disappear.
(send virus to his msn)

Ta-daa! He's... gone!

I think I'll go to KL. I think I'll eat some hawker food.

Ok before anything else. BAND. AUGUSTANA. LISTEN. NOW.

With that out of the way, going to the airport in a couple of hours for the flight to Singapore. Never used Tiger Airways before so see how it goes. Busy stocking up my iPod and PSP right now to keep myself entertained on the flight.

ANYONE WATCHED EURO08??? If you didn't, congrats, you just missed out on probably the most entertaining international tournament in recent history. Germany vs Spain. Not quite the teams I imagined for the final but well done. The lesser evil prevailed. Say what you like, Torres scored the winner, but in reality he didn't do much else and the German defence were pretty disastrous. The kudos should go to Xavi and Senna who bossed the midfield (plus pissing off Ballack which is always a good thing). All in all a pretty damn good tournament with the exception of the punditry. I am really missing ESPNStar now damnit.

What happened over the week.... well my grandmother passed away which is one thing. Another thing, I AM GOING TO MISS MY FLIGHT DAMN IT. OKTHANKSBYE.

i am bored; i shall blog.

theres a reason for everything and theres a reason why that rhythms.

and look, i have finally conquered that word 'rhythm'. for the greater part of my life i haven't been able to spell it successfully at first go, always 'rythm' or 'ryhthm' or something similar to that but yet always wrong. but yet now theres a reason i can do it properly,

'i am very smart.' - Mourinho, June 3rd 2008

Yeap Yeap sounds good. But bullshit aside, my grandmother's condition is deteriorating at an alarming rate. i reckon i'll have to make a trip up to goldcoast sometime in the very present future.
ha ha get it? present future, oxymorons tsk.. oh alright, but nothings really that funny anymore. ie cancer stage 4b and having to go to the hospital every other day for infusions and liquid drainage from the lungs.

its really pretty startling. all my life my grandmother was pretty much the epitomy of strength, never needing nor wanting sympathy at the same time not offering much to others; though to be fair she hasn't really caved in the face of disease. at least not mentally.

sigh but i guess life goes on. i'll have to put my plans to learn fencing on hold just yet so in case if i have to rush up anytime soon i won't be missing too much of my classes.

but in retrospect what are all these if it means being able to see and accompany your loved ones through their last few months? the final lap of life left before the cruelties of death snatches them away.
















torres to score first, spain to win by a single goal margin. Damn. should've placed a bet,

ja.

never made it as a wiseman, but who can't cut it as a blind man stealing?

blah blah blah.

i figured any explanation i'll think up in bid to, well, explain why i have not been gracing blogosphere with my royal presence would probably come across as that. yep. so lets save time.

its not that anything special happened lately, just now a recent hairdresser scared me real bad. the sad part of which it isn't zohan. SOMEONE SCARIER, and i shit you not. but not that i plan to go into the lucid details here, for i got enough people to tease me for the rest of my scarred existence.

c y j : 'HE WHAT?'
me : ' ya la niamaaa'
c y j : 'how much he charge?'
me : '12.'
c y ' eh you sure you never pay him extra to do that'
j : 'no wonder cut so nice. put his heart and soul into it somemore'

though on the brighter note, i'll probably erase this from my memory faster than the images of the 2 old ladies in chambermaid's and the SM uniform. holy shit i take that back. that was not bright.

but i'm glad my grandmother reached queensland safely today.(she has cancer and its final) though it was definitely worth it to get up at 7 today to send her off, it was really a struggle. is it just me or do everyone else experience this too, the stubborn inability of your body to get into gear that early in the morning. oh well, yet another point to add to the 'when i rule the world' list. so what if the early bird gets the worm? i don't like that stuff anyway.
hm but at least the gym plan's getting on well.















(the part of which isn't funny, is the fact that thats my head.)

ISAT's on thurs, wish me luck fellas!

i intend to die, or live forever trying,

awe-inspiring titles are so passe, not to mention a chore to think up so lets make do.

oh and before we start i really need to make this clear. the sole motivation behind my blogging today is i'm getting a tad annoyed with the first post my eyes are forced to digest is related to manchester scum. and by 'tad' i really mean 'loads'. by annoyed i mean really really pissed,

so that shall change now.

but it seems we've hit a little bump. No, no ones pregnant. What? You mean my fellow-blog-owner-who-just-a-few-posts-back -had-the-audacity-to -suggested-luigi-and-i-have-ran-out-of-blogging-ideas-infuriating-us-
when-we-did-nothing-to-deserve-his-wrath? (ps. nothing on that day at least heh)














nah, i'm afraid you have to ask him. What i actually meant was i have nothing to blog about, so lets improvise.

hm lets see, american idol was concluded recently in style; the winner more than worthy, coincidentally the reason why i'm missing AI pretty badly now. oh having been brought to my attention recently that reiteration is important if your words are to leave a memory,

i
need
more
david
cook
songs.

always be my baby has been played 152 times on my ipod, still too little imo. but i need a single by him, just so we can bask and perhaps fornicate in his greatness.

hah, no i'm kidding. well depends who's around, ya dig dawg?

whoops. guess now we can save some time and skip my denial of any AI withdrawal syndromes, and move on to why people hate spoilers.

i tried to be a good samaritan once,
divulging some bleach insights,
thou has yet to be read,
to my horror,
i was not thanked,
but disgracefully sweared at,
why should this have,
happened to me?,
when all i tried,
was to do a good deed?,
and its imperative,
that i halt here,

cause i'm really bored now. the end.
