Ever had the inspiration to sleep on the bed with your legs resting on a chair?

Ever wondered if it'll give you a whole new good feeling?

I did.

Too bad I didn't realize

I'll wake up with the most awesomest feeling in my legs.

Numb.

Boys and Girls.

Don't try this at home.

Its been a while since I did something stupid again.

So yes I took a shower around midnight

(don't bother asking me why at midnight)

and I was shampooing my hair

( is shampooing the right word? or is it shampooning? )

anyway as the shampoo water (dunno what else to call it )

flows down from my hair and my face.

Some water decided to flow by my nose.

and what did this great brain of mine told my nose to do?

You'd think,

well any normal person would hold their breath or maybe exhale?

But no.

This brain told my nose to

TAKE A BIG BREATH.

What happened?

Lets say it involved my head getting filled with a little of shampoo water.

and a whole lot of dizzyness and uncomfortableness.

My great idiocy has returned!

Today I decided to conduct a small experiment.

If you all know me, I sweat easily and probably quite excessively.

So I asked myself.

Do I lose weight after sweating a flood? ( say 2.5 hours of rough basketball )

Experiment was simple.

I went to play basketball and I wore clothes that absorb sweat very easily and effectively as well.

I played for over 2 hours non stop.

I was sweating so much even my pants was totally drenched

and trust me.

It did not feel dry "down there".

I immediatly went back to my room.

Had a quick change of clothes. ( dried myself too duh )

and went to weigh my wet clothes.

It was 1.4kg folks!

Ever dipped your clothes in water folks?

That's how it was!

I was amazed.

I approximately lost about 1 kg worth of sweat at that time.

did I lose 1 kg?

That's the problem.

I forgot to weigh myself. =.=

But what do you think?

Think I lost some weight today? xD

You know what they said?

"The combination of mayo and wasabe tastes AMAZING!"

You know what I think?

"You guys are idiots."

You know after a 5 hour bus ride.

One of the most logical thing to do is to find a toilet.

Yours truly,

went on ANOTHER 2 hour bus ride.

Knowing well that his little friend down there

Joel did not see any toilet.

I'll be headed back home soon

so I thought I'd best let my loyal readers know that I won't be blogging for a while.

..........

Not that I ever blog consistently anyway.

You know back then when I was a kid.

(yes physically I'm no kid but I bet some of you think that kid is still in my heart don'cha)

my cousin and me would

*unintentionally but knowingly*

challenge each other on see who could get more ang pow money.

Results usually end up me losing.

Due to the fact that I was rather shy and nervous when approaching people.

That was probably about a good 8 years ago I guess.

What about now?

I just don't know.

No it doesn't mean I don't care.

CNY to me is a holiday.

which just so happens to be right before my preliminary exams.

Well I guess you know what I'm not happy about but yeah.

Gotta prepare.

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shouted cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

Nice song =D

2010-01-21T19:02:00.002+08:00

Just wondering,

among my group of friends back in Malaysia

or anyone back in my high school.

Am I one of the only few/rarest/one? who hasn't had a holiday that lasted longer than two weeks?

Oh and counting my holiday duration last year for 2009.

1 week after 1st sem mid term in Foundation in Arts

2 weeks after 1st sem finals in Foundation in Arts.

Oh mustn't forget my 10 day Christmas holiday!

So that makes a total of

31 days holiday!

out of 365.

Awesome.

This year probably gonna be worse.

Well yes its back because I just thought about it.

But I'm going to sleep soon so I guess it doesn't really count.

I don't know about you but I worry about it.

So a new year has begun.

As I rested on my bed this morning,

January 3rd, approx 3.00 p.m.

I begin to somewhat picture life 40, 50 years from now.

by that time,

maybe 10 years don't seem too long.

Seems long now.

Though I wonder,

what will be running through my mind when I stand in death's door?

Even then,

what if you end up just thinking forever?

Will you be forever caught in a dream?

Joel's assumption : Dreams are made by our brain which dies once the individual passes away as well.

New question : Where do dreams come from and how?

http://health.howstuffworks.com/dream.htm

Well I guess this is one website I found rather useful.

Just so you know, I am only showing a link and not claiming any credit from it.

Okay, so with that aside,

I figured that

I think too much.

I tend to do that a lot nowadays.

rested quite a lot already.

Nope, it'll be harder.

But what the heck anyway.

After that,

I'll be packing.

I'm coming back home =D

Gonna need a to-do-list on what to do when I get home.

Seriously though,

the only thing I could think of doing,

is just...

EAT

EAT

Need I mention how I enjoy eating?

Perhaps it is due to the fact that the food I buy here in Singapore.

Well I dream of the wonderful things I could eat in Malaysia.

Oh yeah,

I also want to do another "thing".

What is it?

Gonna go back home in approx two weeks time.

How fast will two weeks pass by?

I think its pretty fast.

Though when I'm back home, my ex-college mates are probably in Penang I think.

I was wondering,

How do people not fear death?

Ah touchie touchie topic.

I'll rephrase the question then.

Does one ever feel restless thinking about the afterlife?

How do you think you're gonna feel when you know the end is near?

Doesn't the thought scare you?

It could be that since I'm staying overseas alone,

I'm more prone to feel more loneliness than I normally do,

thus creating more insecurity relating to something like "die alone".

Ramblings made by me at this time shouldn't be considered rational nor logical.

I just feel lonely damn it.

Sleepless nights aren't helping me either.

Topic of the Day 3

2009-11-04T00:31:00.002+08:00

*yawn*

Its a little past midnight.

Wanna know what I'm thinking about now?

"Milo, or coffee?"

or perhaps something like

"Since I get panda eyes in the morning when I don't sleep at night, do I get panda eyes at night when I don't sleep in the morning?"

Somehow, thoughts like those can eventually lead to

"What should I do now that makes good use of the limited time I have here on Earth?"

My economics lecturer, just like any other lecturer, mentioned this.

"Time for you young people, is cheap. As you get older, time gets more expensive, because you have less."

Well you and I know that's pretty much just common sense,

but seriously, is time really THAT cheap for us?

so cheap until that we can spend hours at the computer,

facebooking, playing games, chatting.

How valuable is playing games compared to time?

After some thought,

it occurred to me that,

for me to say that I'm bored (I know you guys say that a lot too)

is a real damn waste of time.

Ask most adults and I'm pretty sure they wish they had more time.

Sometimes you wish time would pass by really fast don't you?

Why?

So that class ends earlier?

Why are you so willing to wish that your lifespan feels shorter?

Don't you want to live?

I suppose everyone has their own values and principles.

and some unfortunate people would have a fair number of reasons why they don't want to live.

I tell you today folks,

you only live once.

How old are you?

16? 18? 19?

that's pretty much 20% of one's normal lifespan.

felt the time pass by?

only 4 more times.

80% more percent.

and that's it.

Gone.

Still think you have plenty of time?

Topic of the Day 2

2009-10-27T15:58:00.002+08:00

Must've been ages since I last updated.

I consider it a waste of time to apologize for not updating.

After all I'm most probably will not try to update as often in the future anyway.

What's interesting today is that I always wondered

what friends are for.

Especially now that I'm in an environment where life revolves around school.

That's University of London exams for you,

exactly like high school.

No presentations, no projects.

Just one big exam at the end of the studying year.

So I've been thinking about it.

I took a walk around school.

I was doing that alone as I normally do.

Come to think about it I am normally alone when I'm doing things,

the only times I have people next to me is

1. during lectures

2. during tutorials

That's it.

You may think,

"oh no Joel emo-ing again, cos he got no friends."

To be honest I am at most slightly annoyed by that fact.

Only slightly.

Well just so you know while in Singapore,

I had friends.

Just that about a week ago,

one of my friends planned a nice outing to Sentosa Island two days ago.

I thought I'd be invited.

Since he's Malaysian and so am I,

not to mention we talk quite a bit

and I spend a fair amount of time helping him with homework and studying.

Sure I didn't know him very long,

neither did he know the other people he invited.

But to me,

he said that he didn't want me to go with him.

Because I was too arrogant,

and too snobbish.

That did hurt a bit at the beginning.

Truth be told I don't think I deserve to deny it.

I probably am quite arrogant and snobbish.

But for me the more saddening issue was that,

every other friend of mine didn't want to stick around with me anymore.

Maybe they're afraid, or perhaps my Malaysian friend has a large influence over them.

That hurt.

Putting that story aside,

so I've been wondering what friends are really for.

on a further note,

do we even need new friends while we're overseas?

I suppose most of my audience does not have the experience of studying overseas yet.

So I suppose you all wouldn't really grasp what I'm feeling.

But rest assure,

I'm doing just fine.

I've resolved that friends here are most likely temporary.

Unless they so happen to be from the same country and the same state.

I suppose I'm slightly unfortunate to be unable to find someone from the same state as me.

Unlike back in college or high school,

I feel that friends here don't last, especially those from other countries.

Even if you have friends,

what do you do with them?

Shopping? Homework? Study?

Seems to me like I can do that by myself.

Need someone personal to talk to? Someone to express your worries or concern?

Are you really going to do that to someone who you just met and only going to know for 9 months? and after that you'll both go your separate ways most likely never ever going to meet again?

Well that's my situation anyway, I hope you are able to picture my situation.

So that's that,

I decided that friends here in Singapore don't matter.

Next question is,

which friends matter then?

Truth be told,

I don't know.

Probably a friend who will be at your deathbed crying by your side.

Or a friend who believed in you when no one else would.

But all in all,

friends can not replace your parents.

I feel that way anyway,

I suppose there are families where the parents are less loving than others.

If you feel that friends are better I'd understand that.

For me in the end,

if I could only have a few people to hold my hand to my last breath on this Earth,

My family comes first.

Saturday Morning

2009-10-10T10:54:00.002+08:00

Morning is really not exactly the best time for me to think.

What goes through the mind of Joel at this time of day?

"What should I have, Milo? or Coffee?"

"To bathe, or not to bathe?"

"No no... Biscuits do not go well dipped in water..."

"I have been wearing the same shirt for 3 days, does that make me dirty?"

"Its 11 now, should I call this breakfast or lunch?"

"Think any further and I think I'll be considered a dumb blonde (guy version)"

"Don't think at all and then you'll just be called dumb."

"Such hard choices indeed..."

"What's this post for again?"

Oh okay.

well no today's topic is not about sex.

Although I bet some of you might be interested to know ;P

Anyway today I'm going to talk about

****FEMALE T SHIRTS****

Most disturbing issue to Jojo today.

A warning to all girls:

DO NOT WEAR SHIRTS THAT HAS WORDS PRINTED ALL OVER AT THE FRONT

I mean seriously think about it.

Why buy a shirt that has words on it? let alone wear it?

Surely there must be a purpose why you'd prefer a shirt with printed words over a shirt that has none.

Why?

Because you want others to read it!!

You got to agree on that even A LITTTTTTLEEEE BIT.

So next thing.

Of all places to put printed words on your shirt.

'Why at the 'chest' part eh?

I mean.

If you want people to read stuff on your shirt

must it be right on your *ahem* 'chest?

Wear a t shirt like this.

and you're pretty much to set up a new ringtone that goes

'ahh ah, ahh ah, keep your eyes off my chest, keep your eyes off my chest.'

*melody from chorus of good charlotte, keep your hands off my girl*

so yes.

wear a t shirt like that.

and you're basically asking people to stare at your chest just so they can read what's on your shirt.

WAIT

It gets worse!

WHAT IF

you have a relatively large bosom.

if you wear printed shirts.

Not only people (mostly guys) will be staring there.

IN FACT

the edges of the printed words

will probably move to the sides.

thus making them unreadable...

unless the observer walks to her side and sees the first letter of the words or sentence

HAHAHAHAHAHA...

I guess most Chinese won't have that problem.

*ouch*

I even had the luxury of conducting an experiment.

I asked a 9 year old boy.

How many girls in your chinese school do you see has big bosom.

Answer?

None...

Trust me,

I'm being generous already just to say that "some" do have relatively larger ones.

I have a feeling I'm so gonna get screwed after this post.

Moral of the story.

Girls,

unless you are intentionally asking people to stare at your bosom.

Don't wear t shirts that has a lot of words printed there.

Its stupid.

and don't blame the guys for staring at your "shirt" for too long.

Thus ends my thoughts for the day.

How did I end up thinking about this?

...

Figure it out.

okay well maybe it could be worse but

ANYWAY

I realized that maybe I haven't had the inspiration to blog is because

I just don't know how to express my day.

So therefore from now.

My posts will be mostly on things that I've thought about today.

I suppose it took me some good 4 or 5 years before I realized other bloggers do that too.

2009-09-16T15:44:00.002+08:00

*ahem*

Dry air fills this room

scents of anger

paired with sadness

engulfing the world he once had.

Brilliant and capable

with heavenly support

only to be broken down

by sheer thoughts alone.

A new world arrives

of habits and temptations

War began

and it ended right away.

Hidden potential

Endless possibilities

Yet nothing was accomplished

For reasons unknown.

I'm awake at 4 45 in the morning.

Makes you really think about stuff especially since you're alone in the night.

For some weird reason there are a few channels in Astro that's not working.

Channels like Star World, E!

I kinda need those channels

they normally show programmes like comedy which I enjoy very much.

Another discovery =D

There's a good reason why I like Coldplay a lot

compared to other bands.

Yeha I do like other bands too like Maroon 5, Black Eyed Peas

etc.

But I just feel that Coldplay's music speak to me better.

and their music gives me more comfort.

What kind of music am I talking about?

I'm not too sure myself really...

But their lyrics mean a lot to me...

Gives you the emo feel,

yet at the same time.

They tell you to accept the way things are.

and that

sometimes life is unfair,

but I'm still alive.

sometimes you can't get the love that you want.

and you ask yourself whether is she really gonna be there for you.

Asking yourself

are you deserving enough?

How do people demand for things?

How can they?

When they probably did nothing to earn it.

I know I don't deserve the life I have already.

and should anything to my life that would change my lifestyle forever.

I think I'll understand.

My works

My effort

its not enough to deserve the life I have.

Having a mixture of

thankful-ness

and

self-hate for receiving such wonderful pleasures in life

when I know I don't deserve them.

Life really has never-ending questions.

If you ever stop asking questions in life.

Its probably after the day you die.

Do you have secrets?

Like secrets you will never even tell your best friend?

I have too many.

Bottling them inside me is suffocating.

But if I let it out.

My best friends are going to get hurt.

I don't think I should tell anyone.

As much as I need to.

Telling the Lord.

Just ends up in me feeling so guilty.

More self-hate.

Oh by the way.

I'm going to Singapore in less than 3 weeks.

Its next next Saturday I think.

Sorry I never talked about this sooner.

I have a presentation in about 10 hours.

It took me more than 30 minutes to finish this post.

I should go.

Before my tears reach the floor.

Post Mid Terms Emo-ness

2009-06-24T23:59:00.002+08:00

Yeah yeah mid-terms just ended...
*woohoo...*

so I'm just gonna party all weekend to celebrate this glorious event no?

...

No I don't think so.

Anyway some other few things I should mention here.

On Monday,
Congratulations Natalie.

You must've done spectacular for your public speaking.

Just so you know,
my friend there got a RM8000 scholarship from Sunway University
and I think RM 600 for herself as well.

and has anything that Joel has accomplished is anywhere near THAT?

I think my best accomplishment is when I actually didn't fail history for SPM

NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL AN ACHIEVEMENT

HA
HA
HA

If you have not noticed the sarcasm, then you must be naive indeed.

Once again I have painstakingly evaluated myself.

Kicking myself at every corner possible.

Just to remind me how much

I SUCK.

Ironic that Natalie is my best friend.

Maybe its not good for health,

having a best friend who pretty much engulfs your life with envy and self hate.

she ain't the only one though.

Hey lets take a look at Marcus.

Oh look!

He's the Head Prefect, surprise surprise.
He got a full scholarship in college.
Well done mate.

Maybe I should go get one too.

Oh wait.

I'm Joel.

Just just Joel.

I can't.

What have I done in my life that I can be proud of?

...

I'm thinking,

really really thinking.

I still conclude that passing my history in SPM is probably the
BEST DAMN THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME.

I think I'll go kick myself some more.

The next 6 weeks are gonna be

Someone please keep me company every now and then.

I'm so lonely.

=(

Some kind of chain reaction.

Ever had the experience of getting bad news after bad news?
Even though those events have no connection whatsoever.

Just got news from Singapore.
The country that I'm suppose to go study at in the next two months.

Guess their response?

Well...

I guess I'm lucky I'm already studying here.

Now I have really no drive to study anymore.

Its a bad week.

Either God is playing with me.

or perhaps its the Devil.

Whatever.

Messed up indeed.

2009-06-19T13:51:00.002+08:00

After getting back quiz results from Critical Thinking Skills
I can only feel more stupid than ever.
This obviously has not been a good week for me.

What conclusion can you make out of this situation?
There are two person,
A and B

A studies a certain subject for at least 1 hour a day.
B doesn't study until 2 or 3 days before an exam arrives.
Because B is too caught up with other things such as student council.
and B decides to focus on other subjects.
Whereas
A focus almost entirely on that specific subject.

Who does better on that subject exam?
Apparently B does.

So either B is really smart.
Or A is bloody dumb.

And just in case you still haven't figured it out.
Your dear author of this blog and post here is A.
You don't need to know who B is.
Because B is more like a whole group of people.

I forsake my macroeconomics, calculus to study
English and Critical Thinking Skills.

you must be thinking,
WTF is he thinking? studying those two easy peesy subjects.

Well I'll tell you.
That I know what are my weaknesses.
and my weakness is that I have trouble memorizing words, sentences, definitions.

English and CTS requires that skill which I lack.
So I study and study and study and study.
I risk my calculus and macroeconomics.
I risk it all.
I've never even read a single page of calculus (except one exercise) until now.

All for the sake of English and CTS.
What do I get in return?
People who evidently don't put as much effort into these subjects compared to me.
Can still do much better than me.
Why?
How?

I don't know.

Obviously there must be something wrong with me.
Or EVERY OTHER PERSON IN HELP UNIVERSITY COLLEGE IS DAMN SMART.

What do you think?

Conclusion : Joel is THAT stupid.

JojoNuts

Its just me, right?

2009-06-17T23:08:00.002+08:00

Is it just me?
Or does it feel like the woman is always right?

I mean, mothers always know best, that's fine.

Turns out certain people I know, ( name cannot be mentioned )
is just too smart for me you know?

I don't think I'm making much sense.
Anyway.

After talking with her tonight.
I can only say that I feel more stupid than ever.
Its my fault.

I'm sorry Y2.
I really hope that I'm still you're friend.

Just so you know.

2009-06-16T22:21:00.002+08:00

In case anyone is wondering,
yes I am depressed.
But maybe that's a good thing.
I find locking myself up in my room studying more beneficial
than wasting my time talking on msn.

When obviously I'm too much in "self-hate" mode
to actually have a casual conversation with anyone.

Oh wait I just remembered,
nobody would even bother reading this damn blog anyway.

Just waiting for the moment where I fall...

I'm screwed this sem.

Why didn't I just stop going to college?
I didn't really need that extra semester do I?
I'm hopeless.
Gonna fail all those stupid subjects this semester.

Which reminds me of CTS ( Critical Thinking Skills ) quiz.
Why am I always losing out on tips or stuff like that?
Its like EVERYONE in the entire bloody universe knew what questions
were coming out exactly.

and yours truly doesn't have a single clue.
is it because he has no friends?

Maybe...

Maybe his friends just forgot to tell him...

Maybe...

or maybe its just some bloody fate that says
"No matter how hard Joel studies for something,
other people must do better than him by giving them tips
and avoid giving Joel any."
"MUAHAHAHAHA"

feels like high school all over again.

Whatever,

I'm going back to banging my head against a book.

After all,

one has to work hard so that he can keep up with the unfair world.

For once,
I'd like to be unfair.
I'd like to be evil and snobbish.
Temptation is running high.
I'd so like to be like one of those jocks in college.
Don't have to worry so much.

Here I am...
Trying hard to do well in my studies.
Actually trying to achieve something good in my life.
college is suppose to be fun?
My foot is more fun than that.

Anyone who tells me to appreciate the fun I'll have in college and university.
Piss off and go have fun yourself.
I'm gonna try study again.
See whether this stupid brain can still absorb anymore stuff.

I do not regret...

2009-06-12T21:31:00.002+08:00

Its for the best.

I think it is,
I'm sorry if I'm mistaken in the end.

Gotta work it out.

Gotta keep pushing on.

And hope the future will bring good fortune.

Trust in God to do his will

and accept whatever that happens in the future.

In the meantime,

I wanna be happy.

Its the time of the semester again.
When workloads pile up
and
its just not easy to have the discipline to do all of them.

Its over.

That's all you need to know.

Ngggyahhhhh...

2009-06-09T00:04:00.002+08:00

Right so I'm back here again =.=
Just got back from Leadership Camp actually.

Tired...

You know what?

Why do people have to think so hard when it comes to relationships?

I mean,

can't life just be simpler by just having fun while you still can.

we're all just a bunch of college students.

What do you expect to achieve?

Why not just skip the emo-ness

skip the worries

I really find it hard to bring myself to keep working on it.

Sometimes I feel like just stopping altogether.

Its tiring, and everything is just so bloody complicated.

I guess *someone* made the right choice after all.

I don't even know why I still fall for this stupid thing.

I shall take this quote from Walter the grumpy puppet.

"Getting married is like drinking a slurpee,
first when you drink it you go OH ITS REALLY GOOD.
Then you start drinking a bit more and it gets to your head and you go
OW OW OW OW OW...
What the hell was I thinking?
Someone KILL ME PLEASE.
And once the pain stops,
you're stupid enough to take another sip."

Genius, pure genius.

Morning Post (Here we go again)

2009-05-31T03:38:00.003+08:00

I can't believe I'm at this position again. =.=
What am I doing up in the morning again?
Actually I was up at 2 o clock.
2 hours later I'm still here awake and now blogging.

So far most of the time when I blog in the morning
It is usually fairly E-M-O

So what I'm gonna do is to not be EMO today.
I'll just be bored =)

Is it me or lately there are lots of people out there emo-ing now?
I look at college, people emo.
I look at church, people emo.
I look at home, people emo.
I look at basketball court, people emo.
I look at MSN, that one sure got someone emo there =.=

Hey I'm not saying that you can't
and I'm not saying that I've never been emo
cos it'll just be ironic xD

Interesting life isn't it?

Let's look at some interesting numbers Joel has calculated out of boredom xD

Joel's age = 18 (going to be 18 la k? xD)
Average life span of human = 75? (I think so la)

That means that
Joel has lived approximately 25% of his life already.

What about you?

What have you done in your life?
Are you proud of what you've done?
For most of my readers.
You have lived about 20 - 25% of your life already.
Its only another 3 quarters left.
Remember the times when you were a kid?
It didn't feel too long ago did it?

What do I mean through all of this?
Just giving some of you a little wake up call.

Life is shorter than you think.

Another maths thingee :
Average marriage age* = 26

*I just noticed, averAGE marriAGE AGE.
LOL
I told you I'm bored right?

Average age of women giving birth to first child = 24?

BTW, all the following data is just complete rubbish, don't have to believe it.
Its just an estimation xD.
But hey, my estimations are good, I think =P

Average human life - average age of women giving birth to first child = 75-24 = 51.
Average retirement/need assistance age = 60.
average retirement/need assistance age - average age of women giving birth to first child
= 60 - 24 = 36.

I swear I have no idea what I'm doing...
This is how my brain thinks when its bored xD
I won't be surprised if you just scrolled through all that and just skipped until this part
but anyway,
those "statistics" says that our mums (I apologise to those with abusive mums/ no mums)
have struggled to watch over us for 36 years.

Don't think your mums don't still take care of you even when you're an adult k?
You think that they don't care anymore?
I highly doubt it.
They still want you to be with them.
Spend time with them.
Because I must emphasize this.

LIFE is SHORT.

and right now I myself am feeling guilty for not spending more time with my family.
The guilty pleasures of life tends to overwhelm me.
But the happiness is always at home if you work for it.

No I do not say that home is the Happy Happy Wonderland.
But I mean,
look at it this way.

Do your friends take care of you?
Do your friends work for you just so that you can go to school/college ?
Are your friends honest with you all the time?

If you answered yes to those 3 questions. Kudos to your friend(s).
Because that would take a LOT just to do anyone of those.

Though it should be noted that not all parents are honest with you all the time.
And not all parents take care of you.
I'm sorry if there are any children as unfortunate as that.
Which there are in countries that experience high volumes of poverty.

Imagining it is quite saddening really.

So yes, please be appreciative of your family, and do it ASAP.
Because life is short, and your family is the one that helps you out throughout your whole life.
Where would you be without your parents?
You wouldn't even be alive.
You wouldn't even be reading this post right now.

Where would you be?

I don't know, and honestly,
I don't want to know either,
because I'm here.
and I'm gonna thank my parents for bringing me here.
=D

Life is ever like a roller-coaster (part 1)

2009-05-18T22:11:00.010+08:00

Ever had the experience of feeling happy over something.

Only to have that happy feeling taken away by some other bad news?

Just last wednesday I had the oh so awesome news that I
PASSED my driving exam =)

Though technically I'm way way too disturbed by the process of getting there to actually feel excited or you know...
HAPPY

Then came the coughing.
COUGH COUGH COUGH.

That was the language I pretty much spoke throughout the rest of the week.
That really spoiled my week xD

Last saturday was the C2AGE event.
I should put up some pictures =)

This is like the "theme" of C2AGE

These are some of the pretty ladies there, LOL

That old (but quite leng chai la) dude is the Japanese Ambassador O.O

These are people dancing (obviously yes?)

That is the Jap Ambassador and Hannah Tan
(google her if you don't know who she is)

I'm really getting lazy at posting up photos =.=

Some manga stuff xD
(Note to all, the next few photos are NOT taken by me)
(credit goes to the one who took these photos)
(who I have no idea =.=)

Some cosplaying
(they are obviously all not from the same anime or manga or wtv)
xD

Wowiee today's post is loooooooooong.
Right right so on that day I was at the event the whole day =)

I'll continue this in another post la.
Ciaozzzz

Here we go again.

2009-05-10T16:49:00.003+08:00

Well,
just had another driving lesson,
there goes another 75 dollars.

Sometimes I wonder to myself,
am I that bad a driver to make me fail the driving exam?
Whilst everyone else I know in college seem to passing the first time.
So yes I don't mind admitting I'm a worse driver than them.

BUT

how did I fail?
For no logical reason that I BELIEVE is logical anyway.
I barely drove for 1 minute.
Turned into a junction.
Saw a lot of kancils coming from the other direction.
Then he tells me to drive left a bit.
So ok I turned the steering wheel to the left a bit.
What happened?

Less than 4 seconds later,
he tells me to pull up.
In my head I was thinking,
"NO NO NO, you have to be freaking kidding me, fail? NOW?? I BARELY EVEN DROVE DAMMIT!"

Then he tells me,
"just now after you turn into the junction,
you ah, keep too much to the left just now, very dangerous driving."
So I was confused, I thought he told me to keep more to the left.
So I asked,
"But I thought you asked me to keep more to the left?"
Until now, I do not get his answer.
"It doesn't matter, that was very dangerous driving. The rules are if I think anyone is driving dangerously, I fail you straight away."

And as he took his pen and marked X's on the marking sheet,
I couldn't help but wonder whether my driving life could be more
SCREWED.
Anyone knows what happened to me BEFORE that exam?
Anyone knows how much SHIT I had to deal with before the exam?
ANYONE?

The exam was a long time ago,
I never had the guts to blog it out here.
But I thought, you know what.
Yes I could probably be not as good a driver as most of my friends are.
But I sure am
DAMN
UNLUCKY.

Maybe some of you don't exactly know what happened to me during my "driving life"
Should I say it? Yeah I guess I could.
Let's start out with.

Scheduling driving exams.
Here's what I recal,
I recall finishing my driving lessons around mid february.
So I asked the agency,
"please schedule an exam for me as soon as possible."
"next tuesday okay?"
"yes no problem"
so I waited for next tuesday, however, on monday (the day before exam day)
"uhh Joel, sorry ah, exam postpone to next week can?"
"Why postpone? already told you to submit my name long time ago d"
"Uhh the JPJ fully booked already la, sorry. next week tuesday can?"
"okay no problem."

Next monday,
"Uhh Joel, sorry again ah, JPJ fully booked again, can next wednesday or not?"
"har? fully booked again? what is this? already got postponed once and now postpone again?"
"sorry sorry, tuesday is always quite packed one, so now I suggest wednesday, cos wednesday normally less people."
"Fine fine, Wednesday arh, better not postpone already."
"ok ok sure no problem one."

I forgot to mention, that because my exams keep getting postponed,
I was indirectly pushed to call for extra lessons, so that I don't forget how to drive properly.
So within those first two postpones, I spent an extra 12 hours worth.
The last 4 hours was to practice at a different test site since it was held on a wednesday.

So then came wednesday.
I sat in the van, at 8 o clock.
To my dislike, Mr. William Lee's job was more like a transporter as he had to take
people like me from 6 different branches of his office.
So I was in the van for approximately 4 hours.
When I reached the test site.
I waited there.
Wait wait wait.
Then Mr. William Lee calls me and 4 other people.

"Eh sorry ah, there's a problem that I don't know how it happened."
(This can't be happening to me AGAIN)
"What problem is it William?"
"You see ah, all of your names are here in the name list that I submitted. But JPJ didn't send your test cards to me."
"So what does that mean?"
"Without your test card, you cannot take the test lor."
(And he said it so simply like that, cannot take test lor... Idiot)
"How can like that? Then we come here waste time meh? Why you didn't check beforehand?"
"Uh uh dun worry, I will drive over to JPJ now and try to get the test card for you."
"Confirm can take the test by today or not?"
"If I can get the cards today, sure can one. No Problem"

I tell you that's the most beautiful lie I heard in years.

me and the 4 others waited.
We waited there for 3 hours.
Not daring to eat lunch because we were scared that our exams could start anytime soon.
What happened after 3 hours?
Mr. William Lee came back.
He said
"guys, good news and bad news, the good news is that I found your test cards."
"the bad news?"
"you cannot take the test today, its too late."
(@#$%^%$#@ you!! you lying $%%$)
"but you said just now that once you found the cards we CONFIRM can take the test today?"
"I'm sorry guys, today cannot take. Next week okay?"
"............"

Oh and by the way, that wednesday, that week, was the week before my semester finals, yeah fancy that huh.
Like I didn't have enough going on my mind already.
Not to mention that on THAT same wednesday, I actually had a presentation for microeconomics that I had to CANCEL
JUST FOR DRIVING EXAM.
and LOOK WHAT THE BLOODY IDIOT DID TO ME.
*SIGH................cooling down*

So that wednesday was the PEAK of my troubled driving life.
I waited there for over 3 hours, not including the 4 hours I had to endure in the van getting pins and needles in my legs.
I just stood there, stunned, not sure what to think.
What would you think?
Or rather,
What Would Jesus Do?
Wait a minute,
Jesus wasn't really in this kind of situation.
Although he was in much MUCH worse situations before.
What would he do in my shoes at that time?

I let my parents handle the situation from there.
I couldn't take it anymore at that time.
Would any of you understand?
The frustration?
All the suffering.
FOR NOTHING.

After wednesday, I couldn't be bothered anymore.
I had to study for my exams, which I did well amazingly considering my unstable emotions around that time.
Mum told me that my driving exam would be next thursday which is right after my exams,
and I also have to take extra lessons because its ANOTHER test site.
Totaling my extra lessons worth up to 16 hours. which is RM 400.

Any of you went through the same shit as me?

No I don't think so.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, and if you went through the same shit as me and still remain cool and totally UNDISTURBED.
I respect you and admire you.

Then came thursday.
Which you know what happened,
I passed everything BUT my road test.
Which left me in silent tears, being a
"not-so-macho-must-never-cry-no-matter-what-like-other-normal-guys" kind of guy.

I went home,
feeling totally useless,
totally loss all my confidence in driving.
And probably will never ever pass my driving exam ever again.
I don't mind cycling.
With all that money spent on those extra USELESS lessons.
I could've used that money for LOADS of other stuff.

I've failed economically, which was to use money and resources as efficiently as possible.
Was totally the other way around for me.

I talked a lot didn't I?
So what do I expect out of this.
So something so simple as this.

If you DARE laugh at me for failing my driving exam OVER and OVER again.
You are asking for trouble.
Because I am heartbroken,
I don't believe in myself anymore.
I get the feeling that some incredible force in this world is trying to prevent me from getting a driving licence.
I hurt myself just thinking of how I could waste RM400 over dollars on extra lessons.
and still fail my exam.
so
Don't you
DARE
laugh at me about my driving exams.
You wanna talk about it.
Keep your laughter and criticisms to yourself.
Just put on a sad face.
And say "its okay."
Because anything else,
would probably lead up to me not liking you.

Dumb?

2009-05-07T17:29:00.002+08:00

I suppose a blog is one of the places to go to whenever there are exciting news of some sort.
So yes perhaps I should say this.

During the past few days since I got back from London.
I had sore throat since the very day I came back.
so I thought,
it's just a sore throat.
It'll be over in one or two days.
Just like when I got sore throat in London.
Just that this time I would lose my voice.

So I continued college life.
The sore throat lasted longer than 3 days.
So I went to the doctors on the 4th day which would be today.
Low and behold.

The doctor confirmed that I have
Pharyngo Laryngitis.

I am unable to find the exact definition for that sickness.
But I found the meaning of Laryngitis from wikipedia.

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords).

Laryngitis is categorized as acute if it lasts less than a few days.^[1] Otherwise it is categorized as chronic, and may last over 3 weeks.

So it has been a FEW days...
Good God man.
If its chronic then it'll be a whole month?
That'll be a problem...
I have oral presentations, college work.
I mean.

=.=

I mean, for a guy to have lost something.
Losing your voice for college work...
Its just not good.
Ya its not as BAD as losing your sight and hearing.
That's like REALLY BAD.

But yeah losing your voice for weeks.
NOT GOOD AT ALL.

And actually I struggle to keep myself active in college.
But I think my body needs the rest.

Oh and yes I still find it hard to accept that I cannot talk for a long time.
Like seriously cannot talk.
If I whisper then I'll delay the time to recover.
If I talk out loud it'll be worse.
If I even dare shout.
Well,
I might just go dumb.
As in, dumb (cannot talk kinda dumb).

This sucks =(

Photography?

2009-05-02T17:55:00.005+08:00

Was browsing through some photos I took in Spain.

I guess I surprised myself.
The photos were you know,
"quite professional"
at least that's how I feel about those photos.
Let me put up some xD

These are roses (duh)

Don't even ask what this is.
(its a rose btw)

Cool?
Seems cool to me =P
One shot was kinda magical to me I guess.
Made it look like a dreamy world with the whole light effect thingee.
Maybe to the real professionals its probably bad lighting or stuff
to me it looked cool xD
here it is.

so what do you think?
okay so its not THAT fantastic.
But I never was a photographer kind of dude =P
I feel proud of it =D

London Day 1

2009-04-20T09:39:00.002+08:00

Dear Diary,

I am now in London awake at 3 o clock in the morning.
Awaiting for the taxi to come.
.....
No not THAT kind of "come"
To come and pick me up at 4 o clock.
It will take me to the London Airport
(here we go again)
and I will fly off to Spain to join my brother in his holiday.
and I am sad to say
that I will NOT have internet there.

That's just sad really,
won't be able to email me besties.
and I heard that people in Spain are damn good at stealing your stuff.
So gotta watch out I guess.

I should talk about the flight as well.
It was 13 hours long.
Had a slight delay.
I watched "yes man" on the plane.
a LOL movie.
but damn lucky lor.
Last time I used to say yes to everything.
not all good luck like Carl xD.

I'm gonna need some rest.
I will update more when I come back from Spain.
Feel free to email me.
I dun want to disturb EVERYBODY that I'm overseas.
so those who are actually interested,
feel free to email me.
I'll be on msn too when I'm back in London.
Ciaozz

I'm screwed.

2009-04-14T20:33:00.003+08:00

Screw my finals.

The day before my finals
and my brain decides to have a mental breakdown.

It refuses to listen to anyone.
Even to a good friend who's been there for me when I was alone in college.

I'm sorry Christine.
Today is just not a good day.
There's nothing you can do to change who I am.
Some bloody stupid idiot who somehow lives on this Earth.
I hate me.

What are you gonna do about it huh?
Ain't nothing you can do.

JojoNuts the idiot.

Dilemma

2009-04-14T16:54:00.002+08:00

As I sit here wondering which book to read.

Accounting

OR

Economics

I picked the accounting book,
but its such a bore.
I don't have the passion in learning accounting anymore.
Last time I was passionate.
I was SO convinced I am gonna do Accounting as my major.

I'm not so sure about that now.

I need to shake this off.
Could it be that Accounting is just so boring already?
Maybe its because I'm learning what I already know.
But me not studying it properly
causes me to lose marks easily.

Overconfidence I believe.

I gotta buck up in Accounting.

Mr. Low (my accounting tuition teacher)
will be disappointed with the way I'm treating Accounting now.
God give me strength

So that I do not fall asleep when I open the Accounting textbook.

An Update before the upcoming Silence

2009-04-11T02:57:00.002+08:00

Finals are here peoplez!
Starts on Saturday and ends on Wednesday.
After that I'm going on a nice trip to London for two weeks =)
But don't worry you'll definitely hear from me while I'm there.
Will be bringing my laptop darling there with me =D
Oh and if you must know about the driving exam update.

My exam got canceled last minute.
There I was happily waiting for my turn to come.
This was around 10 o clock.
Until my agent came along and told me.
"I'm sorry, but JPJ didn't give me your test card, but your name's on the list!!"
"See see? On the list right? I don't know la... I go back to JPJ to get the thing"

11 30 a.m.
"Eh I think they lost you and 4 other people's test card!"
"Don't worry, the exam is the whole day, sure can do it by today."

2.00 p.m.
"I've found the test cards for you 5 people (including myself)"
"The bad news is its too late for you all to do the exam today"
"Can come tomorrow?"

".........."

"Screw you! @#$%$#@" (I didn't say this la, felt like it though)

So yeah I wasted an entire wednesday there doing nothing but wait
to be told that I won't be doing the exam.
When's the next exam?
Don't know
Don't really care anymore.
I had a presentation on Thursday so I couldn't go the next day.
He doesn't have exams on Fridays.
Saturday which is today would be the beginning of my exams
so yes.

After finishing my 8 hours of lesson about 5 weeks ago.
They kept postponing my exam
and lastly cancelling my exam.
I had the potential to take the exam about 5 weeks ago.
But

NOOOOOOO

For some reason JPJ seems to reject me, many many times.
(I don't know about you guys, but I seldom hear anyone else from other agencies that actually have their exams postponed for so long)

Why me?

Angry...

2009-04-06T00:29:00.003+08:00

Its just one of those days you know.
Where you seem to be reminded of how stupid you are.
I'm feeling very self-hate today.
Lets list down the things that Joel hates about himself.
1. Bloody forgetful
2. Irresponsible.
3. Annoying
4. Colour blind
5. Blur
6. Forgetful
7. Lazy
8. Useless
9. Worthless
10. Spoilt
11. Forgetful

12. Took me a while to remember this one. but I just forgot. so consider this point forgetful as well
13.still trying to remember....
14. idiotic
15. has no general knowledge
16. mentally abused
17. A JOKE

I give up I'm sure there's more I just can't remember any more.
Yeah I have some "psychological" problem I'm sure.
Been made a living JOKE practically my whole life. ( or as long as I can remember)
How'd you feel if some specific people (close to home) keep reminding you how
stupid, irresponsible, forgetful you are
for like I dunno
10~12 years?
What would you become?
Would you buck up and become the next Marcus Lim?
Mr. Independent (we could start a song about this you know?)
or would you fall and continue to get kicked at like Joel Ow Yang?
I may not be mentally retarded.
I doubt I will ever feel like one.
But I definitely feel that I have some kind of
MENTAL PROBLEM.
Something happened to me over the course of 10 years or so.
I become emotionally unstable,
my "inner spirit" is extremely weak.
my "will to live" isn't too far behind either.
my "optimism" is practically non-existent.

But who am I to complain?
I'm probably one of the luckiest dudes in the world.
I got hardworking, caring parents.
I'm the youngest child,
I'm fortunate to live in a house, have a laptop and phone,
I don't have to work around the house,
If I ask for anything I probably have a high chance of getting it?
Why the heck am I complaining?

I don't know
Ask my stupid slow forgetful brain.
If it even thinks at all.
Maybe it doesn't,
if it did I'm sure I wouldn't be this stupid.

I wonder why I'm doing this.

Nocturnal Season

2009-04-03T01:52:00.002+08:00

It would seem that I have been staying up to about 2 or 3 in the morning nowadays
perhaps its the fear of sleeping.
............
Right...

Lets forget that.

So yeap Najib is gonna be our Prime Minister now...
I think its something like that right?
Goodness I need to get my facts straight.
But yeah its something like that
I'm not feeling very patriotic at the moment.
(maybe the word "moment" is an understatement)
so I'm perfectly neutral to this particular event.
Others...

Well,

Whaddya think?

Maybe today can also be a gay day.
Not really homosexual kinda gay.
Just a really retarded day.
Up and down la.
You gotta see this though.

Just your average sad day =(

2009-03-27T15:39:00.002+08:00

Just hearing this song makes me cry.
I don't know what's coming over me.
I don't feel well...
And my heart hurts every time I hear this song.
Call me weak, sensitive, feminine.
I just want to sit down and cry.

You get High just to Fall.

2009-03-22T22:25:00.002+08:00

I honestly do not know what just came over me.
A sudden change of mood.
The past few days I was jolly good happy.
Only to find myself somehow hating myself for feeling that way.
Do you ever feel like you don't deserve something when you get it?
Example,
I haven't played ping pong for months.
I went to a social game in Royal Lake Club.
Played against a friend from CHS (the land of ping pong)
And miraculously I defeated him =.=
Though the game was very tight.
At first I felt delighted.
But after that I just felt like,
How could I have beat him? Its not suppose to happen.
In a way I begin to feel a sense of disbelief and self-hate.
Despising myself for the many good things that happened to me.
That I don't deserve to get.
.
I'm a lucky man.
Unfortunately I'm so lucky until I actually forgot how its like to feel normal.
That's not good.
Just when I somehow think that every will go
MY way.
Sigh...
Just one thing that happened tonight.
And I feel like the world betrayed me.
.
But no,
one must be strong.
In the end,
tonight is just an emo-night.
But you should never show it.
Cos what we do affect others.
And whilst others are doing fine while you're not.
You should try to not ruin their day =).
This is my own advice that I will take it for myself.
Good day and goodnight to all readers =D.

Friends & Family

2009-03-22T02:13:00.002+08:00

Just a thought actually.
Is it me?
Or am I the only one who thinks that saying
Friends and Family is easier than saying
Family and Friends.
Perhaps this could be due to natural tongue problem.
Or it could mean more than that.
What if?
There's a psychological meaning behind it?
Could it be that we ( or maybe just me ) have somehow placed friends over family?
Maybe we focus so much on looking good to our friends,
or maybe we depend on our friends even more
compared to our parents.
Do you ever find yourself confiding in your friends more than your family?
Hey I'm not innocent, I do that too.
I'm sure lots of people do that.
But think about it.
Friends come and go ( I learned that not very long ago)
*hey that rhymes =D*
But your family (well most of them) will stay with you forever.
Yet we still try so hard to impress and make friends happy.
But back home all we do is complain, demand.
its sad really when I think about it.
What about you?

The day Joel somehow still finds time to blog about this.

Ngyahhhhh...

2009-03-17T22:05:00.002+08:00

I am very stressed.

There shall be no other word.
Brain just went into hibernate mode.
It refuses to work any longer.
It overheated just about 10 minutes ago.
Ever got so worried about something even waiting for SPM results isn't as bad?
I mean whatever choice I'm doing now determines my entire
FRIGGIN FUTURE.
I do not like not knowing the future.
I know there's some psychological term for it.
Being afraid of not knowing the future.
Yes that's me.
I like things organized, well planned and ran smoothly.
Just damn bloody tired even thinking about it!
Not to mention I have quizzes this Thursday and Friday.
Ok.
I'm tired now.
Goodbye.
.

Back to College Life.

2009-03-16T23:15:00.006+08:00

So its back to College Life again.
No more waiting for Results,
celebrating and grieving.
Time to move on.
Oh last Saturday I went for Accounting replacement class.
Luckily I went to that class that day.
I seriously didn't know anything beforehand.
And I'm suppose to major in Accounting in the future.
*Genius* =.=
After the class I then waited for Ke Wei to come to HELP
showed him around.
Eat lunch then ciao back home.
Get my laptop.
And start DOTA-ing together as our form of relieving stress =D
Grr I seriously lazy type already.
Got forms to fill !!
LCCI LCCI LCCI LCCI
four forms my friend.
xD
I'll just leave you guys with this.
Enjoy!
.

Seriously man.

2009-03-15T06:04:00.001+08:00

Why do I always seem to be free to blog
when its at a very awkward time to even be awake at?
Think about it.
My church starts at 10 30.
And I'm awake since 5 o clock on a SUNDAY.
Seriously the clock in my brain is bloody screwed up =D.
Ok now back to Business.
.
Ok anyway heard about the higher authorities planning to change
the language used for Science and Maths back to
Malay?
I suppose they have their reasons.
Unfortunately we living in a democratic world.
We (in this case ME =P) hear lots of rumours and stuff.
Example?
Possible reason for wanting to change back to Malay because.
.
1. Results have dropped since the Language Change 5/6 years ago.
2. They wanna help the Malay people ( I dun like this honestly)
3. It was all a plan, like a test run.
.
Any complaints?
1. "They shouldn't change it so fast, give it more time, obviously if you change something so suddenly, of course you'd expect the results to come down"
2. "Its not like we can use Science and Maths in Malay overseas right? What's the point of learning it then?"
3. "They are just so silly."
.
I really hope I'm not getting into any trouble for this, this is merely an issue I brought up.
After all, as far as I know.
They haven't actually DECIDED to do it, they're discussing about it.
Also, as Malaysians we should accept what the higher authorities decide to do.
Otherwise, just leave the country (which I believe a fair number have done so)
Though not everyone has the opportunity to leave this country in the first place.
In that case,
Oh well =(.
.
I don't wanna end up like those bloggers who get arrested just by talking about this =.=
I dun wanna go jail =(

OM !@#$%^$#@

2009-03-13T23:09:00.002+08:00

Well I have interesting news.
I suppose I didn't go into much detail on what happened yesterday.
Apparently I was one of those "pelajar cemerlang"
So I went like "whaaaa??"
"Why?"
"You got 10 A1 dude!!"
"WTF? I only got 8 la."
"But then Mr. Ravi said you got 10"
"There must be a mistake la"
"Mr. Ravi must love you man, seriously"
"LOL."
.
So okay for approximately 30 hours I was purely convinced that I got 8 A1s for SPM.
No complaints.
Until today when my mum told me she met into Dorothy (my ex-classmate, friendly person)
once again, Dorothy was congratulating my mum.
And she also said that I got 10 A1s.
So my mum said I only got 8.
THAT's when it all finally made sense.
.
Turns out that when Mr. Ravi was announcing the "pelajar cemerlang" results
which consists about 50 people I think?
when he said 10 A1s for me.
He also included the A1 I got for GCE-O levels English
(also known as triple-1-nine, 1119)
AND
the distinction I got from LCCI,
which is the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry
( Chamber wor... Sound like some sort of prison like that xD)
So yeah apparently if you score well in English 1119 and Accounting in SPM
you get a cert from LCCI
and lucky me got grade 1 for it which is Distinction!!
WOOHOO
So apparently THAT'S considered as another A1.
.
So yeah I have 10 A1s whee xD
Syok sendiri saja la.
But this certainly brightened my mood.
Oh and I'm really sorry if anyone reading this somehow felt worse.
I'm sorry =(.
I'm a lucky man to get these results.
I really thank my parents and God for guiding me.
Even if there were pain and suffering in the process =)
.
So THEREFORE.
For kids who are in form 3/4 now.
You wanna get free A1?
Do well in English! Pay Attention to your teacher!
I know its damn easy for most people.
So get the free other A1 k?
AND
do Accounting =D
unless you know you'd suck at it.
But then who knows?
I thought I'd suck at it too (cos it was in malay)
So do well in these two subjects,
and you get TWO A1s
FOR FREEE.
(This reminds me of Adam Sandler in Bedtime Stories, anyone watched that?)
.
LOL,
Do well in two, get TWO free! (divide by two)
Do well in one, get ONE free! (unfortunately this doesn't apply if you do well in Accounting only)
.
Okay I guess quite many of you have stopped reading by this point haha.
Better stop =P

2009-03-12T21:01:00.002+08:00

So yeah today was results day.
After college at 12 30 me and Pin Hui went back to school.
Every step we took into the school was nerve wreaking.
Interestingly was the warm welcome I got from some of my younger friends.
Congratulating me even though I haven't got my results yet.
So cute la they all =)
I went on to get my results, I don't mind showing them.
They're not fantastic, but good enough for me.
Bahasa Melayu - B3
Bahasa Inggeris - A1 , GCE O-levels, A1
Pendidikan Moral - B4 (quite disappointing)
Sejarah - C6 (OMG I friggin PASSED IT)
trust me, passing Sejarah is a HUGE deal.
Matematik - A1
Matematik T. - A1
Physics, Chemistry, Biology - A1
EST - A1
Accounting - A1 , LCCI - 1
( I'm still not sure on what's this LCCI thing)

I am ECSTATIC !!!

2009-03-11T01:11:00.003+08:00

Its 1.39 in the morning.

Oh well, maybe I'll just show this.
.

Christine bought that for me in Melaka xD
yeah I'm sorry I don't quite know what else to say.
What does that thing do btw?
Well it just looks cute.
And when you press the button underneath the toy.
It goes LIMP.

Some kind of test

2009-03-09T16:30:00.003+08:00

Just thought I'd try this out, got the link from Dila's blog.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

.
Anyone notice the contradicting statements? At the How Do You View Success part, they say I'm afraid. Yet when you look at Who is Your True Self, they say I am full of energy and confidence.
Now isn't that something to consider? xD
.

Not quite THE holiday

2009-03-09T16:10:00.004+08:00

Alright today is Monday and its a public holiday.
A HOLIDAY.
But yeah quizzes are coming, first one is this Friday OMG.
didn't I just had mid terms two weeks ago?
Anyway spent most of my day studying and finishing assignments.
Though I am yet to still begin my Business Assignment
BECAUSE I suck.
Brandon... Hsien Loong...
GUIDE ME PLEASEEEE.
Oh and yes about a certain event that happened on Saturday which is
Damian's Birthday !
Happy Belated Birthday Damian!
Your party was AWESOME.
Not awesome in the sense that its full of partying and drinking and clubbing that sort of thing.
It was more of a time where our group of freinds grew a little closer
and we got to know each other even more too.
It was great great fun.
.
Anyway another thing I need to address is what happened that night.
You know who you are if you're reading this.
I just wanna say that I hope we'll be able to still talk to each other
just like we always have been ever since we met.
I really hope nothing changes =)
or if anything does change, it'll be a good change =D
and if there's anything I can do to help you feel better
please let me know.
.
That's all for today.

Sh*ts Zoo.

2009-03-07T01:06:00.002+08:00

Here I am staring into the screen.
Wondering what I should be looking for.
Sorry,
currently doing Business assignment.
Totally blur blur doing it.
I suck at finding information from the net seriously.
I have to LEARN.
Oh well anyway I'm gonna ask Hsien Loong and Brandon for help =D
I hope they don't get mad...
I'm putting in effort!!
Just that nothing's coming out.
Need some guidance please... =)
makes you wonder why people work so hard.
Just to get 10 marks out of 100 for Business.
Well I'm trying my best =P
Go go Joel.
That somehow reminds me of that Robo Detective.
Can't remember his name though.
Oh well xD

Time to chill out !

2009-02-28T14:35:00.003+08:00

Actually I'm just killing time as I wait for my driving tutor to pick me up

So I'll just talk a bit about Taking Life Easier.
Have you ever had days where everything just seem to go wrong?
Nothing seems to be right on that day.
You begin to wonder whether God or any other superior beings are being unfair to you
You sometimes wish you could just not care.
You wish you could just DIE.
Well that's not nice.
So I present to you a nice method to cheer these kind of people up when they feel like this.
Give them a HUG.
Is the word "hug" there pink?
I think it is, damn this is hard for me xD.
Hugs are good
They give security, compassion, care, love and mix it all up so that
the person you hug can see the world in a whole new light once again.
Well yeah sure the WORLD is a naturally BAD BAD place.
But we have friends... FAMILY.
We ought to cherish them.
Appreciate those who has stood by you for so many years and years to come.
Although my actual ACTUAL intention of doing this post is to show you this.
.

Isn't that adorable and cute at the same time? xD
Ciaoz, off to driving and making some engines die.

What's up with Facebook?

2009-02-27T01:24:00.003+08:00

Ok I'm not judging people or anything because I fall into this category as well.
It just appears to be that lots of people are spending their time just Facebooking
Not that they're absolute maniacs or anything.
Facebook got lots of applications and things like that
Those stuff can keep you busy for an hour non stop I believe.
Then comes the friend updates and photo tagging and birthdays and blah blah blah.
So yeah it just occurred to me because I find myself spending quite a lot of time
Facebooking.
Therefore its time to start setting myself to fight against what might next be
AN ADDICTION.
HOLY CRAP.
xD
So boys and girls listen to me
Don't join Facebook,
it wastes your time,
you want photos? get real ones.
you want memories? get a diary.
you want to eat? go eat la (this has nothing to do with Facebook, I'm just hungry)
So yes I leave now with a laugh for you all

LOL, sorry for the slight goryness.
Its still funny xD

Hmm.. Morning Post!

2009-02-26T02:37:00.002+08:00

Hmm its now 2 45 in the morning.
I think I shall just cap up any recent events now.

Yesterday, or technically two days ago was the last day of mid terms for me =D
ended on a high note because economics was fairly easy.
Its interesting that just 1 and a half months ago I was freaking out on economics
because I was afraid of learning a subject totally new to me.
Well anyway I'm much happier now.
Should enjoy this week's rest.
Then next week is back to studying again.
.
Oh yes and today, I mean yesterday
played golf with my parents.
Woooooooooo
I was surprised that after playing golf there was actually a SMILE on my face.
Not because I won or anything.
Its just that the whole playing with your family thing.
That's pretty cool.
Appreciating our family time together before well...
Before we all start drifting apart.
.
Next thing you know I might be in Singapore or London.
Then well.
Maybe I'll move out if I manage to start my own family.
Then uhh...
Natural things starts taking its course.
That won't be nice.
I think I can deal with those things.
But it DEFINITELY won't be nice.
I'm much older now =D
and I really thank God and my parents for taking good good care of me.
So whatever crap LIFE throws at me.
I can take it.
I THINK I can.
I'm not a kid anymore, afraid of what may come.
Although I might change my mind if that DOES happen.
But its not going to happen so soon.
So let's ASSUME that things are gonna be okay.
And stay that way.
For a long time.
Oh have any of you thought of this???
ASSUME is short for.
Making an ASS out of U and ME.
ASS U ME.
ASSUME. xD
So if you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME...
LOL

LOL like crap

2009-02-23T21:11:00.002+08:00

Well today's a pretty interesting day.
As I tried to wake up but really can't since I slept at 3 the night before.
My mum had to splash water on my face just to get me up.
After that I amazingly reached for my Business Principles book.
This is the funny part.
You know what?
I thought Business Principles was today at 3 30?
Well actually its tomorrow morning.
What's the actual exam today then?
Accounting.
And I haven't revised it at all.
I only found out around 12 pm when I was talking to Venice.
Kena conned.
Panicked like those Dodobirds in Madagascar.
And so I screwed up accounts exam.
Business is tomorrow.
That I'm sure.
And after Business is Microeconomics.
Then its.
MERDEKA
for like one week.
But hey I'm not complaining about that.
Anyway I'm off to try and study Business Principles all over again.
Ciaoz

Why............ WHY????????

2009-02-22T17:46:00.002+08:00

This is all I feel like saying now...
#$%^&&^%$#$%$#
.
Why? you may ask.
Its simple.
WHY THE $%^&^$#%$# did I take Business Principles?
Why did I take my dad's advice?????
I go hmm...
Got statistics, microeconomics and accounting.
One more subject to choose.
What do I choose, dad?
"take Business Principles, sure very easy."
"But I don't know anything about Business"
"Its okay, its all common sense."
PFFFFFFFT.
What complete nonsense.
After first two weeks of going to Business classes.
"Dad what do you know about the SBA?"
"SBA? What's that?"
"The Small Business Administration"
"Where got such thing one?"
"GOT. You still dare say its common sense?"
"Aiya you sure can one la, its a reading subject"
.
You know the funny thing is, that's what my parents said about SEJARAH.
Look where THAT got me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
16 for Sejarah trials, hmm... I wonder how Business's results will be like.
This is funny xD
No la I'm chilling, I'll do my best but seriously, I don't get one bit of Business.
So toodles! Off to study again now.

Mid Term Exams... Screw it la!

2009-02-20T00:40:00.002+08:00

Harlow...
Jojo is here reporting that his mid term exams are coming in two days time.
Wasn't I just complaining about my quizzes not too long ago?
Lol but that's the way it is and I gotta deal with it.
First up is statistics on Saturday.
Accounting on Monday.
Business and Microeconomics on Tuesday.
I'm still figuring out why am I taking Business Principles.
Okay sure its pretty useful whenever you deal with business.
And technically as long as where MONEY is concerned.
Business knowledge is UBER needed.
But nonetheless its still freaking boring.
I have no idea how my dad digests everything inside his head.
I need a brain like his.
I only have his maths side apparently.
But hey Business is still important nonetheless.
I will TRY *note the word, try* to get a distinction in Business.
If that doesn't work.
Then credit will do =P
Hope to get distinctions for the rest.
How the heck do people get High Distinctions in them I wonder.
Well maybe I'm just not hardworking enough =P.
K k going to study now shhh...
Bon Voyage.

Maybe this is not really a love song.
But who knew that I would think of this song right away after I talked to myself.
Come listen as another song lyrics come your way.
.
Coldplay - Fix You
.
When you try your best and you don't succeed.
When you get what you want but not what you need.
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep.
Stuck in reverse.
.
And the tears come streaming down your face.
When you lose something you can't replace.
When you love someone but it goes to waste.
Could it be worse?
.
Lights will guide you home,
and ignite your bones,
and I will try to Fix You.
.
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go.
But if you never try you'll never know.
Just what your worth.
.
Lights will guide you home,
and ignite your bones,
and I will try to Fix You.
.
Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace.
Tears stream down your face, and I...........
.
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes.
Tears stream down your face, and I.........
.
I'm going to sleep now, nitez everyone

Maybe a Love Song?

2009-02-15T01:39:00.002+08:00

I dunno... Its one of those times when you just don't feel like doing anything RIGHT.

You just wanna rest and see the world pass you by...
Well at least that's how I feel sometimes.
Here are lyrics I just feel like singing
I'll give it justice by only humming the tune, singing it would destroy it =)
.
Coldplay - Yellow
.
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.
And everything you do, yeah they were all yellow.
I came along, I wrote a song for you.
and all the things you do, and it was called yellow.
So then I took my turn, oh what a thing to have done.
and it was all yellow.
.
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones.
Turn into something beautiful.
you know, you know I love you so,
you know I love you so.
.
I swam across, I jump across for you.
Oh what a thing to do,
cos you were so yellow.
I drew a line, I drew a line for you.
oh what a thing to do,
and it was all yellow.
.
your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones,
turn into something beautiful
and you know
for you I'd bleed myself dry,
for you I'd bleed myself dry.
.
.
I'll stop here, I'll go fix myself.

What you want?

2009-02-14T20:51:00.002+08:00

Just another one of those stressful days.
Had a group assignment meeting today.
Started at 1.00p.m.
Ended at 7.00p.m.
So tired...
Can't even study anymore.
Business mid term exam next week.
And HALF of my friends haven't even STARTED college.
while another quarter are just doing homework.
I mean,
Which would you choose?
Exams which comes practically every fortnight
(and everyone of them counts).
OR
Homework (which you're not forced to pass up)
.
How about?
Presentations/Assignments (which are due in two weeks)
OR
Homework (which you're not forced to pass up)
.
See any pattern?
That's pretty much the choice I had before I started college.
But I had to choose the first one instead of the other.
Crap man I can't believe I'm getting emo now.
This is not suppose to happen to Joel anymore.
.
Oh and has anyone had smsing problems recently?
Cos my phone is like also damn emo.
Apparently it can't send messages anymore.
And I have like RM22 in it.
I'm definitely not calling Hotlink Service for help this time.
Last time I called them, they could've used some common sense.
I also couldn't sms at that time, so I called them.
They told me they'll try to fix it blah blah blah.
Told me to on and off multiple times blah blah blah.
Nothing worked.
You know what a got the next day?
.
A SMS saying "did our customer service helped you solve your problem yesterday? reply YES or NO."
and I did the following
"Reply, NO, send, SENDING FAILED"
LOL.
I mean did they know what was my problem before they sent me that SMS?
Probably not.
How can I possibly reply them when I still couldn't send a freaking sms.
Anyway its happening again now, and I tell you.
I'm just gonna wait till some bloody miracle happens.
LOL.
See I'm getting happy again,

Present Tation!

2009-02-13T22:12:00.002+08:00

Eh next wed is like microeconomics presentation.

What am I doing now?

Dunno, but I know I'm stuck.

Its harder than I thought it would be.

Heh,

This is where Foundation is HARD.

A levels is just 100% on exams.

Foundation is wide spread.

Participation 10%

Presentation 10%

Quizzes 20%

Mid-term 20%

Final exam 40%.

See the DIFF?

But I'm not complaining actually.

Its an experience that I can appreciate when I move to London/Singapore.

It prepares me when I begin to do my Diploma in Economics this Sept

(hopefully)

Sure A levels is more recognised worldwide.

But its not like I'm actually completing Foundation (long story)

so yeah I'm appreciating Foundation a lots lots.

And since I'm like 17 going on 18 in a classes full of people who are 19 and experienced.

They are more used to group assignments which is due in 2 weeks =.=

Well I'm not like Mr. Genius nor Mr. Learn Fast.

I take time.

..........

........

....

I'M SLOW LAH OKAY?

LOL

Ahh I went off topic,

so yes if you want to prepare youself for Degree/University life.

Foundation is the way to go.

LOL I'm promoting Foundation.

They should pay me.

Driving & Scaling.... HUH?

2009-02-04T16:28:00.002+08:00

Today, Joel learned how to drive a Kancil
.............
Bagus *thumbs up*
So yeah today is like my first two hours.
Not bad la, learn how to release clutch properly and do the turning stuff,
then do the stop at the top of the slope,
that's probably the hardest if you ask me.
but not bad la, can still survive.
The main problem I had during the lesson was
.....
I NEEDED TO PEE.
and that place ah...
no such thing as toilet...
I had to tahan for like one and a half hours.
Reach home that time then you know what la.
Had to finish business xD.
.
After that went to dentist appointment
Felt damn sleepy on the way,
fell asleep while waiting for my father to finish his appointment
then when I sit on the chair,
I was soothe to sleep by the constant feed of ultrasounds against my teeth to remove plague.
.
Seriously.
.
How many people actually fall asleep when your mouth is wide open and dentists are scaling your teeth with a light bulb right on top of you
TA DA
Joel can somehow fall asleep in that condition,
and has no recollection on what happened during the scaling process,
I wake up and see that the dentist is like putting that cream thing on the teeth.
Then he said : You slept very peacefully I see...
xD
Sleep is good, and I don't get enough of that apparently
Will take a nap now,

This is gonna be kinda weird,
I'm gonna blog in reverse.
Starting from today.
Let's see,
.
Today started off with a big big problem.
Mostly becos last night I slept late.
My phone alarm went off at 6 40
I put at snooze then sleep again,
next thing I know,
I woke up and see my room,
"why so bright one?"
then it hit me,
I OVERSLEPT
I panicked like sh**
I checked my phone,
7 35,
I'm like, DIE DIE DIE late for college liao
then I see my inbox,
Jenn : I'm outside your house already
=.= =.= =.= =.=
I didn't even get to bathe, brush teeth, drink water, pee and wtv la
I just changed into college clothes and
CHIONG OUTSIDE
Thank goodness Jenn and her father are patient enough to wait for me.
xD
Thank you God.
Yes and right after that it was pretty the normal day in college.
Although Benedict seems to have developed a natural instint to insult me.
How?
We played Taboo during our free time, me Christine Jenn and Ben
me and Christine teamed up while Jenn with Ben
whenever Ben finds a word that's not very nice.
He'll say this
"Joel is .....?"
Eg : one of the words : trash
He sees the word, says to her.
"Joel is .......?"
Jenn : "Gay, homo, pregnant, infertile, dead, rubbish"
Ben : "Yes yes!! something like that!!"
Jenn : Rubbish? Garbage? Useless? Trash?
Ben : YESSSSSSSSS
Joel's face : =.=
LOL no la its not so bad la...
I know Ben was just joking ( I think )
and we were laughing about it all the way.
and I suck at Taboo,
got one part Christine saw the word "square"
C : Uh... The show called spongebob something pants"
Joel : Huh???
C : OI the show la! the yellow sponge fella with the something shape pants
Joel : Uhh... A shape??
C : *OMG WE DIE LIAO*
Joel : Oh oh oh! SQUARE!
Christine : *Slaps head* Finally!
xD xD xD
The Power of Joel !
