Genting trip 17-18/12/09

There were lots of happenings these few days that I'm unable to blog about them all at once. Hence I'm going to start out with the Genting trip with my friends at 17/12/09, which was a 2D1N trip.

Actually, going to Genting is nothing special anymore, especially when I have even been there before just 4 months ago. Like last year when I went there, that place was filled with dense mist/cloud that leaves our visibility close to zero, except that this time I was going there with a healthy body.

Worst things first, besides having a dense fog, it suddenly rained so heavily that the ride, which is Pirate Ship, we had queued up for nearly half hour needs to be closed. Damn, it should be our turn already if not because of the stupid rain! In the end, we had only played 4 rides for the evening and continued our Pirate Ship ride at night. Heck, that ticket was sure expensive for just 5 rides.

JoJo!! XD

Well, the outdoor theme park will mostly probably be closed earlier with that kind of bad weather. My friends decided to go Motion Master to watch some 4D action thing. I wasn't that interested but well, I had to follow the crowd. Soon, it proves me wrong for the decision. It should be an enjoyable ride, but the lining for about 1 hour in a hot and poorly ventilated underground maze. Well, who could have thought of that?

The mist was so dense that even flash couldn't do any good.

After that, we went for some archery. This was my first time playing archery and so I suck big. Only 3 or 4 arrows hit the target and they were just at the outer ring of the target! But that was clearly a better experience than the one mentioned just now.

Lastly we just rested in our rooms by playing cards. That was day 1.

Day 2, I guess I did fell asleep at 4am and woke 2 hours later. I went to the Oldtown Kopitiam there to have some food with my friends whom already woke that time.
It was still a misty morning, just like last year's situation. That didn't bother us anymore, as my room's group decided to play at the arcade. While it's expensive to play there, it didn't stop me from bumping into this situation.

Another picture for Windows' epic failures?

The last and the highlight of the trip: the buffet breakfast with Alvin. The food has nothing to be talked here as it was just normal food that we can eat anytime, anywhere. What's ridiculous here is that my friends at room phoned Alvin to pack some food for them.

Leaving him without choice, he started the "project", that is, to pack food, obviously, and to smuggle the food out.

At this point I was like: wtf?

He succeeded. We'd reached our room.


Everyone had their share. But I wonder if they know what had been done to their food in the process. Shortly after that we packed our bags, checked out, and went back to our good, comfortable home respectively.

Well, that's all. i hope that we won't be going Genting for another gathering (if this can be called as gathering at all) again. I've gotten bored thoroughly to this place.

Next up, Comic Fiesta @ Sunway Pyramid the very next day. Stay tuned!

当我们考试失败时，并不是我们的错...

Got an email recently, quite an old one actually. I always had something to say about this email, since I've got it now, yeah.. The email's in Mandarin and so I'll try my best to translate it sentence by sentence into proper English. There goes:

其实，当我们考试失败时，并不是我们的错...
(Actually, it's not our fault when we failed in our exams...)

因为一年只有365天...
(Because there are only 365 days in a year...)

针对一个学生对一年的理论:
(Considering a student's arguments towards "a year":)

星期天~一年的星期天有52天。你也知道，星期天是让我们休息的。所以，还剩下313天...
(Sunday~There are 52 Sundays in a year. You know, Sundays are for us to rest. Hence, 313 days left...)

夏日假期~这50天的假期是非常炎热的，大家都会因为闷热而无心向学。剩下263天...
(Summer holidays~These 50 days of holidays are very hot, everyone won't have the mood to study due to the heat. 263 days left...)

每日的睡眠~8个小时让我们睡觉，去掉了50天。剩下141天...
(Sleep time~8 hours a day, used up 50 days. 141 days left...)

娱乐~每日抽出1个小时的时间让我们玩耍（为了身心健康）。用掉了一年里的15天，剩下126天...
(Entertainment~1 hour per day to have fun (For our physical and mental health). Used up 15 days in the year, 126 days left...)

饮食~2个小时让我们吃零食，喝饮料和每日三餐（咀嚼和吞食）。30天又过去了，剩下96天...
(F&B~2 hours for snacks, drinks and 3 meals per day (chewing and ingestion). 30 days passed, 96 days left...)

谈吐~1小时让我们和亲朋戚友说话（人也是一种爱交际的动物）。又减掉了15天，还剩下81天...
(Talking~1 hour to talk with friends and family (Human is a social animal). 15 days deducted, 81 days left...)

考试~一年最少也有35天。所以，还剩下46天...
(Exams~At least 35 days per year. Hence, 46 days left...)

特别节日（example:情人节）~大概也有40天，剩下6天...
(Special occasions (Example: Valentine's day)~Around 40 days, 6 days left...)

病痛（MC）~你偶尔也会生病，对不对？最少也MC三天。还剩下3天...
(Illness~You will get sick somehow. MC at least 3 days. 3 days left...)

盛大典礼~嗯...(example:结婚 / party)最少最少也有2天。结果，还剩下1天...
(Big ceremonies~Erm...(Example: marriage/party) At least 2 days. 1 day left...)

最后的一天:生日~你怎么可能在那天温习功课 / 补习！
(Last day: Birthday~How can you revise/go tuition at that day?!)

剩下: 0 ！！学生怎能顺利通过考试 ！就算通过考试，也不一定是一个活泼开朗的孩子了...
(Left: 0!! Students won't pass the exam! Even if they pass, they won't be active and happy children...)

=====
AFAIK, these days can't be calculated like that, as they are not necessarily independent to each other. Like, there are Sundays in the "summer holidays" as well, which makes it overlap each other already, try to recall the Venn diagram learned in Sets in our Maths. In fact, some calculations were terribly wrong as well.

=====

Anyway, Maths aside, from my point of view:

Sunday: no comment. 52 days.

Summer holidays: It should be mid-year and year-end holidays n M'sia. Taking my A-Level course as reference, what about I give it 8 weeks = 56 days? Or 9 weeks for gov'ment schools = 63 days. How about average approx. 60 days?

Sleep time: I sleep 4 hours during school days and 12 during holidays. Average it for 8 hours as well. 122 days.

Entertainment: 1 hour? Nah, I sit in front of my computer for at least 10 hours regardless of school days or holidays. 152 days.

F&B: Okay I follow. 30 days.

Talking: Sorry, all talking is done through internet. 0 day.

Exams: You take exams for a whole day? Max 10 days for me.

Special occasions: Sorry, no Valentine's, no Christmas. Maybe CNY, 5 days.

Illness: Sorry, no MC for me. Classes skipped due to illness = 0. 0 day.

Big ceremonies: Again, 0. Ok la count 1 day la.

Last day: Birthday: Birthday? When is my birthday? 0 day.

Total: 432 days.

Why? As I said, there was calculation errors in the original one, it won't take you long to find out which. By the way, if the "overlapping" days were to be deducted it should be well less than 365 days.

Now then, Maths aside again, I even have "debt days" in a year to study in my case. With entertainment (computer) being the most "time-consuming" thing to do (and the least useful in studying), why am I able to pass my exams with flying colours?

Well, yeah, maybe he's right. I'm a material to be an excellent introvert after all. That explains all.

(Due to the huge unrealistic errors and uncertainties, this post should not be viewed seriously)

Holiday?

Yet again I've not been updating regularly, mainly due to me messing up my time. Well, the long hated Moral Education classes has finally ended last week and this marks the beginning of my true holidays for 5~6 weeks before going into my third semester.

I've been sleeping from 4am to 1pm for almost everyday since the first day of holiday, of course there are deviations. This computer is my best companion now that I put my display name in MSN as 月光宅男(moonlight Otaku), as opposed to a Jay Chou song, 阳光宅男(sunshine Otaku). lol. I once changed it to 依陌(emo)宅男 due to some unhappy things in Moral class, but since it's past so I won't give it a damn anymore. I'm partially impressed that I'm in a position where I won't fail my Moral course even if I fail my finals ;) .

Anyway I just came back from Connaught night market with pro Jhun them gang. Didn't buy anything there but I had some food and snacks that I've never tried before. It's the most crowded night market I've ever been to, which spoiled some of my mood to enjoy it, but since there are so many eye candies (aka beautiful girls/leng lui) there it's worth it to spend my time there. I hope the next time I go there will still be more of them there. ^^

Finally, my long said photography blog might not be coming since I'm a phail as in finding nice spots to photograph and even lack the basic skills to do some show-offs. I don't think I will be able to maintain the blog properly as you can see what happened to this blog now. Well I'll try my best, it's my interest after all.

I'm back!

Didn't realise that one month has passed. Sorry for not updating.

Nothing to post actually as this semester was pretty hectic (and I'm still busy playing games), it has finally ended anyway. Just finished my finals today, I think I did pretty bad overall because of that stupid sudden sore throat and fever before finals started. Although my fever subsided in just one day, I think it's always enough to kill my brain cells.

Besides, after every sore throat it will be converted to itchy throat (coughing) and this time, it was associated with flu for no reason. For the whole finals I have been sniffing a lot which distracted me a lot as well because there's just so much nasal mucus, the glands just won't stop producing it. It's still the same now, so annoying, but luckily it's not A(H1N1), I suppose?

Anyway, I should enjoy this stupid one week holiday for now, stupid INTI's going to make us go back for the useless crap Moral Studies class next week (Assignments, presentations, MY NIGHTMARE). What's the fucking point of calling this semester the "short semester" huh? Tell me, seriously, I really don't get the fucking rational behind!

Big spendings

Few days ago suddenly I had the urge to spend my dad's hard earn cash (I'm such a 败家仔). Spent RM304 on a Edifier M3400 2.1 speaker and Steelseries Qck Limited Edition Starcraft 2 Kerrigan vs Zeratul mouse pad.

Look at the epic artwork. So nicely done

Licensed Blizzard Product

My OCZ Behemoth on the pad

Messy arrangement, because my desk is too small..

The audio system costs RM205. I'm quite satisfied with the sound quality, it was better than my broken Sonic Gear EVO 3, mainly due to the big difference in price lol. I've never thought of buying such an expensive audio system, and well, we tend to think that more expensive items are always better, don't you agree?

But for that RM99 mouse pad, I'm quite disappointed. It didn't actually work well with my OCZ Behemoth as my double laser mouse is quite accurate in tracking already. After using the pad my pointer on the screen actually keeps on skidding for some odd reasons, but I observe no problems with my other cheap optical mouse, and its tracking has dramatically improved. Perhaps it's just my OCZ mouse doesn't need anymore aid to improve its tracking.

Okay, now I couldn't use it to make my wrist feel more comfortable. Now I can only put it aside as a very nice decoration until I'm going to downgrade my OCZ Behemoth to other gaming laser mouse (not double laser anymore lol), which is stupid anyway.

Today...

...I went to class as usual. It was more or less like yesterday, and it's like a new unfamiliar place to me. As it's still holiday now, I can't get happier because SS15 is so empty that I can park my car just outside of campus. I took this picture at 8am, something that you can only see at 7am on normal working days.
Sounds cool, but why can't I just stay at home instead of coming to class when others are still in their holidays? Boring.

\\

...I had my breakfast at McDonalds before going for class. Their breakfast special set, which consists of a Sausage McMuffin and a cup of coffee/tea, sold at RM4.20 (inc. 5% tax) per set, is really a bargain(although still more expensive compared to other foods around). Well, nothing special here, but this time I chose coffee as opposed to my usual choice of tea.

So what? It's just a cup of normal coffee anyone can drink anywhere. Strangely, drinking a cup of coffee at early morning do bring some strange side effects to me. Everyone knows coffee can make one energetic, perhaps in my case, I got over supply of energy with that cup of coffee, coupled with my long term sleep deprivation, it actually agitated me for the whole day.

I couldn't concentrate in class because my mind was like disturbed. It's like many things were revolving in my mind but not able to sort them out. Eventually, as I said, I got agitated. I hit the fire door instead of pushing to open it. And then I felt like punching the walls. It was Maths class back then, my lecturer gave us work to do, and my handwriting was 'powerful', the noise of my pencil knocking on my paper and table could be clearly heard if it wasn't because of the chatters that covered them up.

This sudden urge of aggression always comes when I drink coffee too early. I can remember during one of my SPM days when I drank a cup of coffee for a boost as I didn't actually sleep that night for revision. In the end, the similar situation occurred. Well, I suppose I shouldn't drink coffee in the morning?

\\

...I finally got my hands on Prototype. Damn it's a freaking cool game. Graphics was not half bad, though the settings were a little bit retarded. Controls and moves can be mastered quite easily. It removed my aggression anyway. Got to go have some fun first before actually studying for 2 damned tests. Zz

INTI poem

Recently I receive an email from Jojo (XD) on poems for 3 universities/colleges. One of them being INTI. I know these poems have been online for quite some time now and I have read it before. But since I'm a student in ICSJ now I have to say something.

But first there's the INTI poem in case you've never read it before:

At first I love INTI
But INTI loves my money
I ask money from daddy
But daddy asks mummy
Mummy goes to INTI
And find out why INTI's so greedy
The lift always mati
And the guards look like monkey
That's why I started to hate INTI

INTI don't love me
What for I love INTI
All they need is money
Nothing but money, money and money

The lecturers teach like bugs bunny
No wonder they're so lousy
And their faces look so funny
Like Talos the mummy

Futhermore, more more money flows to INTI
But they never plant more trees
All because they want to save money
Make all students feel hot to mati

First I entered INTI I got no kaki
Later I found someone likes to play tai tee
Then I started don't want to study
Here we can find a lot of kaki judi
That's why we must blame INTI

Since I entered INTI I cant see any leng lui lili sexy

Even the lecturers are more pretty
I always want to date them for tea
But I always kejar they always lari

Dr. Lim from SOLLA always lan si
People said his pucuk already mati
Even Viagra also tak boleh jadi
That's why loh people say he is 'cc'

He likes to tell jokes to everybody
But his joke never funny
Sometimes people thinks that his crazy
Dr. Lim so pity

INTI's toilets really smelly
No water no api
Even you haven't pee
You want to lari
Always complain they also say soli soli

Tan yew sing always said his INTI got quality
Instead everyone knows they are lousy
INTI motive just to earn more money
So that they can pay lecturers salary
And INTI share in KLSE can naik lagi
Waterfish like us always press by INTI
Just to tipu more more money

That is all the story about INTI
Which loves money
But after all I still come to INTI
To contribute money


(u r not in INTI?
u r very lucky
coz INTI cant bluff ur money
just cabut n jangan kembali~!!)

Student of INTI
noway to lari
already jadi SuiYee (waterfish)
plz tell everybody
jangan kena tipu lagi
=============================================

I've done some searchings and realised that there is another new poem to counter the previous one:

Izzit you too sien adi with INTI?
Maybe coz you never ever study
Always shake leg and "wah pei si" (digging nose)
24/7 at CC play DOTA or L4D

U say ask money from daddy
daddy ask you ask mommy
at last work so hard to support you already
WHAT U DID?? Yaya write sohai stuff about INTI
you nothing better to do ar really?!

You say INTI lift always mati
you KING KONG ar kenot walk, too heavy?
if INTI guard look like monkey
you look like more like "yat pek si" (a piece o shit)

and so you say "INTI don't love me" (right!)
coz you really "mou yok yi" (cureless)
so no matter how u mati-mati
your results FOREVER E E E!
All they need is money (yes)
Well, thanks to you idiots pay money but never study

The lecturers teach like bugs bunny
Sumore you say they so lousy
MAYBE its because u never ever listen properly
sit behind there talk cock story!

U complain complain INTI no tree
All because they want to save money
YOU LEH? throw rubbish sana-sini
Sit in room play game tak pernah mandi
You don't feel hot oso smelly until mati!

Told you already u only know how to waste money
Parents give u money but you play tai tee
Own self say don't want to study, Blame INTI.
Of coz la you forever kaki judi
Coz you got no life, no job, no money.
WHOLE COLLEGE LIFE WASTED IN INTI!

Since u entered INTI you can't see any leng lui lili sexy
You very lengzhai ar that girls want to see?
Look at ur face oso all want to barf and flee
No wonder you no luck, forever "ta fei ji" (jerking off)

FIRST you say lecturer like bugs bunny
THEN you say u want to date them for tea
U really 1500% gila babi
Hopeless, useless, something problem with your psychology!

Dr. Lim from SOLLA always lan si?
You jealous ar coz he got money drive Benz-si
How you all know his pucuk mati already?
You gay tards got actually see??
I think its YOUR small koochi size that you should worry
Yucks, yerr, bluek, petoooi.... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE......

Tan Yew Sing always said his INTI got quality
You know but then you don't agree
So its either your parents or you yourself gila babi
You think like that, then WHAT THE F**K you doing in INTI???

INTI motive just to earn more money
OF COZ LAR U THINK BUSINESS IS CHARITY??
IF THEY DON'T PAY LECTURERS, WHO GOING TO TEACH YOU ABC?
you're not a waterfish larh, YOU'RE A BIG DUMB WUSSY!

INTI SHARE IN KLSE can naik lagi
now sumore partner with Laureate group of university
too bad you're no longer here to see
better off without you monkeys here in this community
good that you cabut lari,
I BEG YOU PLEASEEE JANGAN KEMBALI!

students of INTI noway to lari
Coz here too happening with clubs and society
already pay money might as well happy happy.
No need to write stupid things about INTI

If you so good write poems better go be an MC
Don't mess with PROUD INTI students like me
So far come all the way,wa ipoh mali
We all know at the end we still love INTI!

To the fellow who disgraced us all from INTI,
Lets see you beat this rhyme at any angle or degree.
For those of you who agree with me.
God bless you, forward this,
its your call now, I'M OUTTEY!!

Zzz. Speechless. I don't know what made the original author to write negatively about INTI, and I understand why the other author was trying to defend INTI from this attack. However, I'd rather devote my time studying or at least doing something useful other than writing these poems.

Well, this is business anyway.

Just a quick filler

Suddenly I've just realised something. All my Student IDs end with the number 4:

When I was in Chong Hwa Independent High School, it was 04064.

When I transferred to SMJK Yu Hua Kajang, it was 21244.

Now in ICSJ, my Student ID is J09005574.

Epic fours. Get one more ID that ends with 4 and I can be Fantastic Four already. Coincidence or what?

No wonder I kept thinking of dying when I was studying. Sad.

GG?

Currently in the third week of second semester, 33.3% of the semester has passed. It was really a freaking tedious and total-non-stop-study semester, which highly surpassed the physical and mental preparations I've been making.

The first thing is of course the timetable arrangement that I've complained before. That kind of stupid arrangement actually decreased our free time to study by a large fraction, ESPECIALLY IF THE STUDENT IS TAKING 4 SUBJECTS. If I live at the hostel then it wouldn't be a problem, but everyday I have to waste at least one and a half hour travelling to and forth ICSJ everyday, still not including time wasted in traffic jams yet. Although the early traffic jams will end after Hari Raya, it doesn't change the fact that I have to waste the time on transportation.

The second and the most important thing is the course structure. Combined together with the first problem, I really have a hard time coping with my studies. I have less time to digest so many things in such a short period of time, moreover those topics are really hard, which was also my worst topics since SPM! In maths, there are AP, GP, vectors, and soon differentiation. In chemistry, there are electrochemistry and equilibrium, both in A2 syllabus, which is freaking tough. Without understanding anything, the first test for both subjects will be on Hari Raya week. How am I going to fail, eh?

Talking about Hari Raya week, every students should be enjoying a one week holiday for that occasion, but not for us A-Level students. We will only have 2 days of holiday. I have to suffer in the tests while everyone else are enjoying their break. Bloody hell, that's just damn unfair. I know we're in a rush, but that just won't do us any good.

Oh by the way, where's the time to be allocated to co-curriculum activities?

Man, I'm just too pissed with everything. Say me don't appreciate what I have now, I will let you know why it's hard for me to appreciate it given the situations. Humans are like this anyway, they will only appreciate a thing when they don't own it anymore. If I'm studying in Form 6 now, I will say colleges rock, and vice versa.

So why am I still posting something here anyway? Am I not contradicting myself for having insufficient time to study? Well, it depends on the attitude of a person to study anyway. I suck big in this.

On an unrelated matter,

Baby born in Australia at 9.09am on 09/09/09

SYDNEY: Dhara and Sudish Patel would have no difficulty in remembering the date and time of birth of their daughter who was born in the

Australian city of Canberra at 9.09am.on the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009.

The new parents said the delivery time of their baby girl was a surprise.

"Her due date was Sep 12," the baby's mother was quoted as saying by ABC News.

She said the number nine would become part of her baby's life.

"We think it will be her lucky number," she said.

Source: http://www.hotklix.com/link/sports/cricket/Baby-born-in-Australia-at-909am-on-090909-Rest-of-Wor

It was 09/09/09 2 days ago. Why is the number 9 so special? It's because 9(九) has the same pronunciation as 久 in Chinese and Cantonese, which resembles long-lasting. That explains why so many Chinese couples decided to register or get married at that date, in the hope that their marriage will last forever, apparently.

Now this news was interesting. The baby was not only born on this date, but also at 9.09am. Five 9s. By assuming healthcare levels are increasing with time, perhaps the baby are able to live up to 99 yrs 9 months 9 hrs 9 mins lol.

Final Destination 4

“ What if, our presence here was the plan from the beginning? ”

-- Nick

Finally got the time to update. I went to the Premiere Screening of Final Destination 4 as planned 4 days ago, with Yong Xian. Going there gave me a headache first as I don't quite know the route there, to be more precise, at the Kerinchi Link, hell it really has lots of diverging roads and it got to my nerves. Malaysian roadsigns are useless too. I've managed to get through it with some help from YX, so I'll skip this part.

Just be lucky because it's the fasting month for the Muslims so the probability of getting caught in a traffic jam in Federal Highway after 7pm is close to zero (at least for the part of highway that I've travelled). I guess that's the reason of why 1 Utama was so empty (but full of bloggers), not to mention it's 8pm+ of a weekday.

This time the tickets were cool. It was colour-printed on hard paper. In addition we were also given 2 slides of postcards, which is useless to me, as I was hoping that they would give me the "I Love Nuffnang" badge instead.

(Top: the postcard. Bottom: the back of the ticket)

As always, the other bloggers mingle around with each other and had photo sessions, but not me. I don't know how did they know each other, while I was always being left out, perhaps they've known each other in real life. Ah whatever. It's destined.

Now about the movie itself. I never watched any of the Final Destination series before so this was my first one. Well it was gross, with more gruesome ways of dying. I never expected that some of the explicit gore scenes were actually shown on the screen instead of being censored. One phenomenon I've noticed that the crowd actually cheered when someone dies.. @@

The only downside I felt about this movie is that it's length was a little too short. We was expecting that the movie would end around 11.30pm, but we already reached home at that time, as the movie ended almost 1 hour earlier...

Here's some scenes from the movie:

I know this movie has already been in cinemas for 2 days already, it's also showed in selected 3D cinemas in case you didn't know. That should add up some intense you can't experience from the usual cinemas. Overall Final Destination 4 is worth to watch if you "enjoy" the gore. FD fans are definitely not going to miss the show. Go ahead and watch it this weekend holidays to find out how can you cheat death ;)

Once again, a very big THANKS to Nuffnang for the free movie tickets!

Hey wait, did I just say cheat death? Referring to the quote I've put at the very beginning, do you think anyone can actually cheat death?? Ah whatever, just go watch the movie and find it out yourself! ;D

New semester, new challenge

Just another day spent at the college, the first week of second semester is over already. Too fast, too furious. It was a pleasant week at college, as we, the A-Level students, are the only ones that has begun classes 1 week earlier than those of other courses. It feels like the whole college were only occupied by us.

“ That made me enjoyed the serenity in ICSJ -- less noise, less people, more books to borrow, more computers to use. ”

I used this opportunity to borrow 2 bloody thick and heavy books about programming (C++ and Java) from the library. I don't know why I did so as the second semester is going to be a hectic semester for us, a total of 9 weeks before finals, now 8 more to go. Where do I get the time to learn programming now? Oh well, as long as I'm interested..

“ Anyway, if I were to comment about our timetable for this semester, I would only give one word: SUCKS! ”

Not because of the freaking long classes, I've gotten used to it, but then again, it's the classes for Friday. I'd always hoped that classes can end before 1pm on Friday, but instead our class ends at 5pm now. Bloody hell, freaking class ends at 5pm because there's a 3 hour gap from 12pm-3pm for the Malay prayers time. Oh good lord, is there not any day that I can return home earlier? I hate to deal with traffic jams, like today, it was so terribly jammed from LDP Sunway toll plaza until Bukit Jalil Highway. Abnormal enough as I never had such a nightmare during first semester where there were 2 days when class ends at 5pm. Wasted my valuable 1 hour staring at the car in front while crawling.

Back to the point, we were told by our Economics lecturer that our first test will be 2 weeks from now. That's just 'awesome'! I can expect that more and more tests will fall around that time period. Let's see how well I can cope in my studies in such a short period of time. Speaking of this, the results of my first semester finals is phail, with Economics and Malaysian Studies getting B. I won't bother about M'sian Studies results because our coursework marks sucks big time. Anyway I pass it as long as I didn't fail. It's over. But Economics, I've freaking studied it for 1 week before the finals, sacrificing and risking other subjects, yet not so desirable results. It's really THAT hard to score in Economics eh?

Well, it's my path, my challenge to overcome, since the day I've taken A-Level. 4 subjects are really a pain in the back if one doesn't use time wisely.

“ Thinking back of SPM days when we used to take 11 subjects, that's nothing compared to these 4 subjects eh? I suppose. ”

But I'm still myself, one who lacks motivation and self-discipline to study progressively, instead of doing unnecessary things at the wrongest time, e.g. trying to pack programming knowledge into my already-full-memory mind. That's just digging my own grave.

Using this chance, I would like to wish Malaysia happy 52th anniversary of independence. May our country continue advancing and development in the correct direction (although I remain skeptical about this). For those who want to attend the celebration, remember to wear high-quality masks and be hygienic to reduce the chance of infecting swine flu. For me, I'll just sleep until someone or something blows me to kingdom come. Heck, I'm LAZY.

In an unrelated matter, I'm going to the Premiere Screening of Final Destination: Rest in Pieces in 1 Utama next Tuesday night! My sacrifice wasn't in vain after all ^^. Wish me that I'm not going to rest in either peace or pieces during the journey.

NUFFNANG ROCKS!

I Don’t Want to Rest in Pieces like Final Destination

Nuffnang is giving free tickets to Premiere Screenings again! This time they are giving free tickets to watch Final Destination: Rest in Pieces. Oh my god, when I heard about this, immediately I told myself that I must get the free tickets in order to not rest in pieces.

First of all, I have always been having accurate premonitions. I had one right away after getting to know about this event. I can foresee that, without the free tickets, I can't watch the movie in cinemas as I'm flat broke. Without the fixed seats in cinemas, I could rest in pieces if I were to watch it in front of my computer some day later. Why? The following scenes were in my premonition:

Freaked out by the unexpected

According to Newton's Third Law: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. And ZOMG I've lost balance from my reaction!

And then, bang my neck on the hard solid wooden table below and SPLAT!

Moving closer to have a look at my body:

I certainly don't want to die like that, I still have a long way to go. Heck, I haven't even reach 1/6 of the human lifespan! I still want to:

1. date a girl,
2. do the you-know-what thing,
3. be a father, and
4. be the President (of the house).

These free tickets ought to make me learn the way to cheat death earlier than the others. Therefore, my life is in your hands, Nuffnang! :o

*Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I could only make it with my really obsolete 1.3MP webcam..

First Amongst Equals

As everyone knows, or in case you don't know, the title of this post is New INTI's motto. I've just become part of it. What?? How dare the author of this blog claim himself to be the first amongst equals, with crappy results of his? Well, maybe not in studies, but in watching Orphan.

After having this new kind of experience, it's hard for me to not brag a little about it. So first of all, due to the bad timing, I had to watch the movie with my dad. Things never go according to my wishes anyway. Whatever, that's the last resort if I wasn't going to waste the tickets.

Just a glance of the tickets, don't bother the quality because the info is now useless anyway.

I was a tad too late to line up to collect my tickets because the last exclusive Orphan merchandise had just been given out to a few other bloggers just in front of me. Sad. Whatever, I didn't put much hope to get these stuffs and just wanted to get the tickets ASAP. Again, inedible grapes are sour.

By the way, to my observation, out of the 100 pairs tonight, I can approximately estimate that 95% of the pairs were BF-GF pairs, the remaining pairs were like of the same sex: boy-boy or girl-girl, which I assume that they are close friends. I'm the most special one, the only 1% that was paired up with my dad. Besides I think we are the pair that has the largest age difference. Congratz to me. Zz. It's tough to see other intimate couples enjoying a thrilling movie together, while I felt so lonely even my dad was beside me. Zz

I'll just skip the story. This movie is rated 18PL so it's unavoidable that there will be some censored scenes due to you-know-what-reason. Orphan is a thriller revolving about the life of this not-so-little girl named Esther (Xian please don't misunderstand ^^) and her new family. Well, to cut it short, she's a nightmare to the family. I think I didn't spoil this movie as these 2 sentences didn't mean anything lol. So to find out what's wrong with her, remember to catch this movie in cinemas at 20 August.

As a conclusion, although it wasn't an enjoyable movie session for me, it's past. What I enjoyed was that I am one of the first Malaysians to be able to watch this movie even before it's been released! Finally I'm a first! No one can admit first even if I admitted second, ahah. For those who were unable to or didn't want to go with me, your loss. Such a rare chance for me to bring someone to a free movie session, think me cheap because I only invite people for a movie when I didn't need to pay anything. Whatever.

Nevertheless, I hereby thank Nuffnang the invitation to this Premiere Screening. You've broaden my eyesights with these kind of events and I'm looking forward to other events held by you all in the future. ^^ (provided that if I can still remain creative and most importantly, being lucky.) Ciaoz

omg

You know, I can actually win something by posting some stories in the Nuffnang blog. Evening just now, I received an email from Nuffnang saying that I was invited to the premier screening of Orphan at GSC Midvalley 9pm tomorrow. Want to know what I actually wrote? Here's the link. My post is the 8th from the last if the total post still remains at 146. You'll see my name anyway.

But the problem is, who on earth will be going to this event with me? I know, girls are afraid to go out with a boy that late, I understand, whatever. Boys are obviously not interested to go out with another boy that late, I, too, understand, whatever. This means, I'm mostly going on a solo mission, wasting the other ticket. Or, forfeit both tickets altogether and give the chance to other Nuffnangers, which won't happen because it was such a rare scene for me to actually win something and I'm not best known for my generosity.

Everything is in bad timing. My Form 6 friends only start to have their exams when I'm having a holiday now. When they are having their holiday I'm suffering again. Or else I won't be having a headache now for not having a partner to go with me. Sucks.

Well, this is the downside for not having much friends. Having good things that I wanted to share but no one can share it. Sad.

Anyway, I still have half a day to decide. For now I'll just have to know the returning route first or else I'll be sleeping inside my car beside the road. I had just forgotten about the threat of H1N1. Wish me luck.

*Do let me know before midnight today if you are serious to go with me.

Cleaning (again!)

Alright, I think I'm going to end threads about cleaning once and for all. Today (I mean yesterday), out of boredom, I decided to clean up my most "beloved" one: my computer. That's right, I've cleaned everything from the monitor to the CPU, but not that thoroughly until cleaning every piece of hardware inside, which I will only do to dead machines. The thing I've gotten rid of is, of course, dusts that accumulated since the last time I've posted about cleaning my computer.

Except for this time, I've put the keyboard as the hardware that required thorough cleaning. Well, I think I've not cleaned it for more than a year already. Why would I want to clean it anyway? Keyboards just look perfectly normal on the outside, but let's not look at it that superficially. If you'd paid attention to the spaces between the keys and the "bank" of the keyboard, you can see that there are so many small debris apart from dusts, from hairs, to food and even dead bugs.

Because of the dirtiness of my keyboard I had wasted more than an hour to remove most of the debris and hell I didn't even completely clean it due to apparatus limitation. Anyway I'm going to cover the basic steps of cleaning your keyboard in this post in case you don't know how to do it.

First things first, you have to pick each and every keys out, using your own hand (if the keys are easy enough to be removed), or the better choice, a flat-head screwdriver. As you can see, if you positioned your screwdriver like this your keys will be easily picked without using much force. If you have to pick them forcefully, that means something is wrong, but it depends on your keyboard. Keyboards having different kinds of key contacts might need a different way to pick the keys, so you have to know your keyboard well. I'll not be liable for any damages done to your keyboard ==

After picking your keys, you, of course, start cleaning up the inside of your keyboard.

Partially cleaned...

It should be an easy job if you had a dedicated keyboard vacuum, but if you already have it this post is meaningless to you anyway. By the way, if you don't have a keyboard vacuum, I assume that you are rational enough to not use a conventional vacuum cleaner that you use on the floor to clean your keyboard, right? You can use a wet cloth, or like me, use a combination of wet cloth and this "bug" here to maximize the cleaning effect.

Talking of this bug, it operates with 2 AA size cells and is very useful to suck up dust and small debris on hard surfaces such as tables and in this case, the keyboard. Of course it didn't manage to suck up everything so I have to use the screwdriver to move the dirt a bit before sucking them up. With these removed it will be a lot easier for you to wipe the internals with a wet cloth (actually, not that easy too due to the "porous" surface).
Cleaning the bug is pretty easy, just open the cover below and wipe off all the dusts and debris trapped on the filter with a cloth or just your finger. Done.

Finally, when you're satisfied, just simply reinstall the keys according to their arrangement and there you go, a cleaner keyboard that looks more refreshing, without any strategic improvements. Well actually, it might keep pests or insects away from your keyboard lol if you always eat in front of your computer. Who knows if they do make their nest inside it? Especially if you have those high quality gaming keyboard that easily cost a few hundred bucks, you won't be that generous to share your keyboard with them, will you? ;)

Godspeed.

Semester break

Yeah man, after 3 months of non-stop studying (I mean going to college la), it's the end of my first semester already. And I can enjoy 1 WEEK of holidays before continuing to suffer even more, because the second semester is a short semester and I think we will have to have classes until 4 or 5pm everyday. Zz.

It sucks. But I think it's not as suck as my finals. Honestly, I performed badly, luck was not with me. I had to rely on my TRUE SKILLS in answering the questions, that's why, I wrote loads of crap and didn't have enough time for almost every paper for some reasons. Don't know if I still can retain the scholarship or not..*sigh*

Anyway, what should I do for this whole week of holiday? Play? Sleep? Study for second semester?? I have no idea. I got thoroughly bored with every game by now, which includes Facebook. But even if I don't play I will still waste my time on the internet, which means sleep deprivation still occurs. And what the hell study for second semester? I'm that lazy. OH YES! My Rubik's Cube! Finally got the time to master it after buying it for nearly a month =="

Again I have to say, time flies eh? This semester just passed in a blink of eye. At the starting of college days when I didn't have any friends until now when I STILL didn't make any true good friends but still troubled by something undesirable.

Well, what's past has past, I have to look and advance forward. Prepare for the challenges in the future, in the meantime, more coffees to be spammed at a later date.

Lost

Why? Why am I viewed as a 'special' one when I'm an introvert? Is being special a sin? Do I like being 'special' at the first place?

I always thought that I can focus on revising for my semester finals after my Malaysian Studies' presentation, and I can relieve my mental burden since asking me to go out presenting in front of the class is a nightmare to me. I gave my best, but the harder I try the worse off I am. Anyway, the presentation is now history and our "group" got 8/10. I don't know if I caused the deduction of 2 marks or not, but that's not my main concern and also not what I am going to talk about in this post.

So reflecting back to the questions at the opening, obviously I'm troubled by my introversion again. It will be a long post, not interested then leave ba.

Today, I felt uneasy since the moment I wake up, predicting something bad would happen to me. And yeah, on my journey to ICSJ, I made a lot of mistakes which could be fatal, but I still reached there safe and sound, but there was no parking near college premise. Eventually, I found one 'nice' spot just around the corner of Starbucks Coffee, so I parked there without hesitation due to my perfunctory observations of other cars parking there without any aftermaths. Paid the parking fees, and off to class.

Right, there were actually no classes and attendance was bad as people tend to stay at house to study for their finals or do what ever they want. Cut the crap short, I spent nearly half day at the library alone until breaks' over and I have to go M'sian Studies class. The same situation: <25% attendance, no class. I still went in anyway because I just know I won't study if I went back home earlier. It was a big mistake.
Some classmates from another section came in after me, they chatted with the lecturer. All of a sudden, they started finding profiles of other students in eCAMPUS and criticizing or talking whatever shit. Not everyone was 'chosen', but to my surprise, I was in the list. Of course, they turned down their voice when they were discussing about me, but no one knows that I'm good in eavesdropping (now I've compromised my specialty).

I think they were actually thinking that I'm deaf because I'm an idiot in communicative skills. But they were trying to discuss me when I was in less than 3 metres away from them, besides I'm sensitive to my name. I heard them mention me, so I continue looking my book lo, but paying attention to them. They lmao-ed when they saw my profile (I know, I wasn't prepared when the picture was taken). Then talks started, 'lan si', 'ji bai'(自闭 in Cantonese, a.k.a. autism. And yeah, I'm sensitive) was among the descriptions I can hear.

Most interestingly, they actually discussed which group of person do I talk to. Hell, is it that fucking important? I will only initiate a talk with people who have common interest(s) between us. I was labelled autistic for this. I will clarify this once and for all (who am I clarifying to? None of them has my contact!), introversion is not autism goddamnit. If I were to be an autistic person, none of you will actually know my presence because I will just sit at the most corner of the class instead of at the middle rows(although lonely). You can talk to me and I will reply you if I know how to, but of course not talking to me just to ask things from me every time.

Anyone knows how long was the time for me to have my closest friends currently? It took at least a year for EACH of them, yet still the bond was eroding.

5pm, class ended, went back to my car, and found out that I was summoned by PDRM for improper parking. So many cars around and only me hit the jackpot. So these were the bad things that was going to happen to me eh? Ok, I've hit my toll. I'm physically exhausted from sleep deprivation from the pressure of presentation and these mental blow. I drove very carefully back home to post this meaningless rant.

Why did all these events crush me at the same time? Now, I'm so heavily suppressed in the valley of darkness. Now, I have no more intention to study. Now, I've not only lost my aim to live, but could also lose my will to live anytime.
And don't worry, I strongly disagree with the captions.

An epic (win/fail?) day

Hmm..how should I start first? Ok. My life's easier after I started driving to ICSJ since 3 weeks ago. By that I meant that it successfully saved my travelling time by almost half of taking KTM. Yeah, I have more time to spend on my compu...I mean studies.

Everything went fine until today. It was a raining morning today, so it's expected for traffic jams will occur everywhere especially Jalan Kewajipan. And some serious shit happened to my car when I was on that congested road. Well, actually I don't know what the heck caused this thing to happen this suddenly? I was driving fine for the whole journey until I felt that the engine is jerky and found out that it was overheating fast.

That's just so great. I'm at the middle of a congested road. I can't stop my engine there, neither can I drive the car aside. The temperature meter hit the red danger zone and smoke started to gush out of the bonnet of the car. The white smoke got thicker and thicker, then the engine was K.I.A. straight. OMGness. Luckily there were also 2 people that had their car broken down before me stopped at the side and they helped me to push my car aside. At least I didn't feel alone that time. And then they identified that there's leakage on my car's radiator. Zz. They have my gratitudes. Now I know radiator coolant liquids are green in colour.

The question still haunts me. Why it got overheated so suddenly??! Karma?? Tell you the truth, I was listening to the radio reporting the "road updates"(sorry, can't recall the actual term, or it is?). When I heard that a car caught a fire, I lol-ed. "It must be some smokers driving and something went terribly wrong," I thought. Just now, I was at the verge of getting my car to catch a fire. Karma eh? Believe it or not?

Anyway, it was the Scholarship Presentation Ceremony today so I had to wear formally to college. Yeah, long sleeves, even after I flipped it up, it's still terribly hot. I'm not exaggerating. It's a congested road = many cars = waste gases + heat. The rain didn't feel cool. Plus I had to stay in my car until 10am, with a door open of course, then the Sun rises high enough to shine directly at me. Damn, I was supposed to be happy attending the ceremony, but then everything was spoiled.

Then the mechanics finally arrived at 10am. The radiator really got owned and to prevent further damage to the engine my car had to be towed. So one of the mechanics sent me to ICSJ. Luckily my class starts at 10am today so I was just late for a few ten minutes.

This stupid incident made my dad had to take a half-day leave to be with the car, and of course, to bring me to the workshop. Everything seems fine now, but suffering from that mortal wound, the 13-year-old engine performed much less powerful now. Anyways, my semester final exam will be starting next Saturday(wtf?). I hope this kind of shit thing won't happen for that time being.

The only regret I had was not taking photos of my broken Wira. The scene where the thick smoke gush out from the bonnet was just simply epic, rare as well. Haiz, no change la, too nervous already. And I sure will be scolded by others if they see that I still have mood doing this when my car's blocking the traffic. Anyway, it's good to have a photo like that as memory, even if it taste bitter. @@

Modern Warfare 2 is coming!

Nice to know that my most favourite FPS game is coming back. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released worldwide on 10th of November this year in all 3 major gaming platforms: MS Windows PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

It will be the direct sequel to the previous Modern Warfare game and it utilizes a newer game engine compared to the prequel in which the AI is claimed to be more "dynamic" than it used to be. The graphics, to me, is somewhat identical to the previous game, but the current me won't give a damn about it as I wouldn't want my aging 8800GTS to spoil my fun in this game with jerky framerates.

Anyway, enough talk and take a look at this video gameplay. If you would like to, watch it in HD quality with full-screen (if your connection is superior enough, of course)

Not bad a preview I suppose. New weapons, new gadgets, new environment, new enemies...And look who's back. Nice to see an old friend who used to fight with us coming back...err mistake, we were him in the prequel. The then Sergeant has been promoted to a Captain! Gratz mate.

This time, they are going to bundle a night vision goggles(NVG) with the game in the "Prestige Edition" package:

Sounds cool right? But I don't think it's worth it. The package would cost us a bomb here @ USD150 (approx. RM500 to us), and according to people the NVG is just some low quality toy-grade NVG they can get from toy shops such as Toys"R"US. Yeah...an actual NVG could cost up to a million. But of course, that is just some limited edition item which doesn't have much practical use anyway, and collectors would most likely get their hands on one of those. I would if I had the money too..(and, if this piece of "military gear" is legal in Malaysia).

Anyway, I'm looking forward to get my hands on the game as soon as it is released. Kick ass game yo! I will be on my 2 months long semester break when it is released, gonna have some serious gaming sessions by then ^^. But for now, REVISE YOUR GODDAMN MATHS AND CHEMISTRY VINCENT.

Rojak post

It's the time of the week I can finally update my blog (and of course, if I want to).
A picture I took a few months back when I was still on the long holiday. I was driving back then, when I stopped behind this Mitsubishi Lancer. You don't need to be a genius to figure what car was that actually. I was driving the same car too.

What's so proud of replacing Proton Wira's name with Mitsubishi Lancer? Every Tom, Dick and Harry on the road will still see it as a Wira. And it's not even modded, be it externally or internally. I remember that I overtook this Lancer as soon as I got a clear road. Yay, my 13 years old won a Lancer, Zzz. What's the point? I don't hate light car modders, but a "mod" as small as this by changing the branding and name is too much for me, come on man, at least make it look more like the real Lancer Evolution (Wiralution) la.

First tests for every subjects in my A-Level course are now history. I got desirable results, and I have difficulty understanding a lot of things that will be included in the second tests. This gives a graph identical to alternating current, the alternating results graph. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to do badly in the second tests, which most probably will be starting after around 2 to 3 weeks, since mid-August will be our semester final exam. Omgg, time flies!

The last thing to cover in this post, will be my Malaysian Studies class trip to the Malaysian Parliament Building this Tuesday. Ok, honestly, it was boring. There were no intense argues between the 2 parties(BN & Opposition) like I hoped. The big shots were also not present in the Dewan Rakyat(House of Representatives). All I noticed was some MPs sleeping, talking to the phone, and even Youtube-ing. LOL wth. That's so enjoying.
The picture of the Parliament building I took before heading back to the bus. I was in a rush that I don't have the time to wait for the girls to move out of the view so that I can get a clear shot and I screwed the picture with my finger. Zz

Because of this trip, I could only reach home at 9pm, very much thanks to the train delay from KTM. FYI I went to the station at 6.40pm. Luckily KL Central wasn't crowded with people using Seremban route.

The opportunity cost of visiting the Parliament, will of course be the time spent with my computer. After having my dinner and bathing, I could only online for merely 2 hours before I went to bed due to tiredness. However, the opportunity cost of not visiting the Parliament is very much bigger:

^^

These 2 girls are 2 of my female classmates. We took it at class, obviously. Too bad the other 2 didn't take a picture with me and I missed my class group photo. Zz. Anyway, I use how much money also can't buy these 2 pictures nia. The trip to Parliament was well worth it for I getting these 2 pictures, I would have foregone these priceless pictures if I wasn't going. =D

Is it globally? Or just Malaysians?

Half a semester has gone, I have started to enjoy college life. But for the time period, I have been suffering more from travelling back home with KTM. The magnitude of suffering is greater than that of enjoying. In a nutshell, I'm pissed.

I wonder how do they operate this company? In Economics, the goal of firms are assumed to be maximizing their profit. Well in this case, yeah I agree with it 100%. They are trying to maximize their profit without taking the consumers' feelings into consideration. Taking the Pelabuhan Klang-Sentul route as example, there isn't any close substitutes like LRT to KTM. There are buses, but that would be a little bit troublesome. Anyway, that is not my main concern as this posts wasn't meant to criticize much about KTM, but the passengers.

I always observe 3 kinds of phenomenon while I was waiting for and riding the train, especially Tuesdays and Thursdays, due to classes of these 2 days end relatively late @ 5pm. By the time I reached there it will always be so damn crowded. And of course, with the so-called "Q-System" implemented by KTMB, passengers will have to listen to broadcasts and then line up on one of the coloured(red, blue, green) lines according to the broadcast. It failed. Why? Well, do you ever think that typical Malaysians will give a damn about this? From my observations this far, a portion of the passengers has colour-blindness(no offence). For example, when we are asked to queue up on the green line, I can always see that there are surely some people that queue up on different coloured lines(excluding late-comers, since the frequency of useful broadcasts is only as high as the frequency of the train). Well, I wouldn't be mad at them, because they have health problem what..I never knew that there are so many people in Malaysia have colour-blindness, I felt sorry for them.

And then there are the "smart" ones, in even larger quantities or just the same as colour-blinded people. Ever heard of the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes" or something similar? These "smart" people are able to see "lines" invisible to the "stupid" ones, e.g. me. So in other words, they just line up where ever they see fit a.k.a. cut queue. I'm sure that annoyed the "stupid" ones that lined up properly on the respective lines.

And when the train finally arrives, some bastards behind will just keep on pushing and pushing...well I shouldn't call them bastards, because I would've become an "induced bastard" in this situation and pushing others in order to prevent me from being completely sandwiched. Even if the train is really full, they will still try to squeeze in no matter what. "Who cares? I pushing ma, you pain not me" might be one of their mentalities, or, they are perverted. A tip for all of you, try to get as inside as possible(nowhere near the doors), the doors are the worst ever place to be near with following the above situation given.

There are those so-called polices and a few KTMB personnels supervising the passengers' movement, i.e. call boarding passenger to let disembarking passengers out first. But most of the time they just call passengers to pack up the train until the maximum point. What's the point man? I was expecting that their presence was to prevent queue-cutters.

Little do I know that if the company set up those stacking steel queue bars(I don't know how to describe it lol, imagine those bars that you line up with when you're in a theme park) instead of employing this "Q-System", everything would have been more organized. Anyone seconded on this?

Anyway, I'm most probably going to drive to ICSJ as soon as I got familiar on the way back. So, I can most probably kiss(my @$$, it should be kick) KTM goodbye. But by then, you might see me complaining about traffic jams. Looks like studying there wasn't a nice choice at the first place after all.

Being introvert = mentally ill?

Finally there's this serious matter that came across my mind about myself. Am I born to be an introvert or was I forced by myself to be an introvert? I've always thought that I fully understand myself, but it seems like that's not the case now.

After six weeks in the new environment, I think I still haven't talk more than 100 sentences, be it short or long. Let alone making (true) friends. I envied those who said that they made dozens of friends in just 3 days. To me, to be able to make 5 friends in a year is already a great achievement. Other than classes, I would spend 99% of my time alone at either the cafeteria or the library. That's what made myself felt very different from the others, that I deserved to be isolated. And then I started to relate myself with all kinds of mental illness because I've yet to see other people as pathetic as me. It was painful.

I was always told that time will change everything. Yes it did. But for me it's more to a destructive change rather than a constructive one. The only place I can talk well in is the Internet. But then my mom said that my addiction towards computer is the cause of my present state. That made me even more miserable.

Recently I Googled about introversion to find if it's really a kind of mental illness or something. I was given informations that introversion is just a kind of personality. For mental illness, that would be autism, but I know I'm not that kind of person that locks myself in my room and won't face or talk to everyone. I'm just an introvert among many other introverts that I haven't met before that lives in an extroverted world. Instead of changing my personality, I could adapt to this world slowly. No point changing myself to lose my own self, for now.

Although introverts are usually misunderstood, we tend to make less friends when we don't reply much to others when they talk to us. When I say don't know, I mean it, not because I'm too kiasu to teach. Humans are social animals regardless of their personality, and everyone would like to have some friends as their companion. It's just that the way introverts make and define friends differently from extroverts. Just because introverts have their own set of rules, they should not always be labelled differently. Being introverted has its advantages too, though it differs with each individual:

10) Work Well With Others, Especially In One-to-One Relationships
9) Maintain Long-Term Friendships
8) Flexible
7) Independent
6) Strong Ability To Concentrate
5) Self-Reflective
4) Responsible
3) Creative, Out-of-the-Box thinking
2) Analytical Skills That Integrate Complexity
1) Studious and Smart

The Introvert's Personality Traits
What Introversion is NOT

So, don't worry, be happy. I shouldn't be worrying about my introverted problem now, but my 3 tests starting tomorrow. Holy cow I picked the wrongest time to do these. Bloody hell.

(A somehow hanging post, because I was interrupted by my sleep yesterday night. It was supposed to be posted yesterday, now my thoughts got lost.)
