Questions Answered

For 21 years 2 months and 8 days, I've always wondered.

Why are people willing to stand in a long queue and pay so much to enter a place at 12am?

What was so fun being in a super packed area with cigarette smoke as your oxygen and music loud enough to regulate your heartbeat and deafen your eardrums?

Why are people willing to pay so much for large amounts of alcohol only to feel the hangover the next morning?

What was so fun about dancing feverishly for 3 hours plus non-stop with a bunch of (hot) strangers?

How does feel like to have a female bar dancer performing a teasing erotic dance barely millimeters away from your face?

Why are Tan Boon Heong's performances in recent badminton tournaments declining so rapidly?

How does it feel like to sleep in the car at 6am, half dead, parked under the tree?

Can 2 glasses of tequila, whisky, some vodka and Jack Daniels really make you that high?

Where do all the hot chicks go?

The first thing my dad said when I reached home the next morning was "Did you smoke???"And my mom asked "Did you get sunburned??" Apparently the alcohol allergy I have isn't really an allergy after all. It's an enzyme deficiency. Almost 50% of all Chinese lack Aldehyde Dehydrogenase. It's an enzyme that helps break down alcohol after it is consumed. A deficiency of this enzyme can result in flushing reactions after consuming alcohol. This may include nausea and rapid heart rate. Such reactions can be confused for an allergic reaction.

And apparently the only way to avoid this is, stop consuming alcohol. Ever.

Flattered to deceive, yet again.

Deja Vu all over again?

I've been here before. Or so it seems. Another opportunity at risk of slipping away, yet again. Circa high school, circa semester 1.

At times I feel like I've completely lost it. Lost the plot. Everything doesn't seem to work out the way I planned because when the moment arrives, that little bit of courage deserts me. Just disappeared. Poof!

The dreams returned again this week. I suppose sub-consciously, a part of me can't let go. A part of me remains nostalgic. A part of me won't want to adapt to someone new. A part of me, says "Get me the same".

Which in reality, is likely to never happen.

I gotta learn to accept that.

The Big 5

The Lazy Blogger has reached the big 5000 mark!

Achieved in almost 9 months, this works out an average of 19 visitors per day. Not bad laa. Not exactly Kenny Sia level yet, but still, something memorable.

Thanks to Nuffnang, I know where and how my visitors came.

I've had visitors from Malaysia (obviously), Australia, United States, Singapore, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Brunei, Sweden, Ghana etc. etc.

I've had my blog appeared in Google search results of : Langkawi, Langkasuka Hotel, Tan Yixuan, Mr Bak, The Lazy Blogger, Macau Sex Shows, Air Asia, Stupid LCCT, Eye of Malaysia, and loads of other stupid crap which mindless people type on their search engines.

More importantly, I've had the majority of my visitors coming from Yixuan's, Jolene's and Elizabeth's blog.

To those who constantly visit and leave disappointed, thousand apologies, life has not been as exciting this sem as it was last sem, so updates won't be too frequent, but then again, its the quality that matters, not the quantity eh?


I've got a huge week up ahead!

Time Bomb Ticking

I've never been to Northpoint Midvalley before, until last Friday that is.


This is Isthmus, a fantastic place to eat. They serve nice chicken, but salad with yucky sauce which was supposedly made of plum.

I never knew Secret Recipe's Hi-Fibre Cheesecake taste that good. And I've never eaten so much nuts and oats and fibre and stuff at one go. I passed the challenge.

And I finally bought something for myself with my salary, seeing that it is drying up soon. A nice shirt from Topman. Someone has good taste ;)

Financial Accounting test is finally over. Some mistakes here and there, but overall I'm just pleased I actually did the paper.

Block lectures and MA test next week. Sigh..

NATO at work!

Greetings! This is your President speaking. As NATO's blog is still held under Blogger review (Blogger's version of ISA), this post shall be posted here temporarily. Relentless in pursuit of money, 7 NATO members, including the President himself, the Vice-President-Elect, the Treasurer, and 4 others headed to some warehouse in Sunway to work. Our job was simply to cancel a printing error from a brochure. Sounds simple? Wait till you have do that about 19000 times.

We averaged about 2700 pieces per person

Hard at work

Next, we headed to Yuen's steamboat for dinner. The secretary-general, Aaron and Fei Fei joined us

I challenged Aaron to a Fear Factor challenge, with the reward of RM2, he has to taste a spoonful of :

Bak's Hellish Mixture
(a combination of an overcooked snail, 3 types of chili, black sauce, strawberry ice-cream, tom-yam and lots more which I can't possibly remember)

Aaron wants to hear the sounds of coins clinging in his ears before attempting

He prepares for the worst..

Mmmm..

His face says it all

The winner with his prize!!

Sigh

After a long hard day of class and at work, I'd like to return to a happy home. Is that too much to ask?

The Little Things

Hello world. From now on, I'll be blogging on my own again, the annoying interviewer has ceased to exist.

It's pleasantly surprising how far you can go if you pay attention in class. But I have been slacking lately. In fact, I have been slacking since the middle of last semester where a combination of bad luck, poor studying techniques and complacency effectively sealed my fate in last year's finals.

I vowed not to repeat it this sem.

Kathryn Hill used to say that a University student has 4 elements to balance; family, education, friends, and relationships. For over 2 years, during the duration of Form 6, I thought I've achieved this balance. I believed that this balance is achievable as long as an individual is fully disciplined. I took it as a challenge.

But we're only humans aren't we?

The strain took its toll and I gave up on my relationship, consoling myself that I would find joy in paying more attention towards my social life and education.

So why change that?
