Good News For Sad People

Sad people live longer.

What?
This is based on a research, or so it seems.

A study found that children rated as "highly cheerful" by teachers died younger than their less cheerful classmates.

I am highly cheerful. I'm hyper at times.
Does this mean i'm gonna die earlier than those sad bunch of people? tehehehee

People who are extremely happy tend to indulge in more risky behaviour such as taking drugs, drinking too much, driving too fast or even using up their life savings without thinking through the consequences of their actions.

Well, there is logic to this. Err.. we tend to do stupid things when we are happy. Or are we happy because we do stupid things? Oh, who cares, ignorance is bliss after all.
And negativity leads to fear, which in turn leads to good behaviour. lololol the fuck?

Think.

And this is the best part.

"The strongest predictor of happiness is not money, or external recognition through success or fame," said study co-author, Professor June Gruber at Yale University. "It's having meaningful social relationships."

Money fucking rules everything baby!
Social relationships? What social relationships. Nobody does that anymore nowadays.
Now, people judge your social status by the number of friends you have on Facebook and the number of comments you get.
ha fucking ha

So, the conclusion from this research is that, in order to live long, you gotta be sad.
Sad people are always mad, depressed and lonely. And they get to be that way for a long time. Good for them then.

So, which side are you on?
I'd rather die early and happy than live a long fucking sad life.

Live happy or at least die trying. ha ha ha

The Infested Tea

Drinking a hot cup of tea during this rainy season is a nice way to warm up your body.
And drinking tea while studying keeps you alert, and can stimulate the brain.
But it is also known that tea can dehydrate you faster. Right?

So, i made myself a cup of tea.
Cameron Valley Lemon Flavoured Tea, to be precise.
Not bad.

But since i was too busy studying, i drank only half of it.
After i finished studying, and when i wanted to finish it, my tea looks infested with stuffs.
Take a look.

Specimen A

Now, there are many particles in there.
I wonder how these things got into my tea.
And sorry for the picture quality. I don't do DSLRs.
Let's look at it one by one.

Ashes
These ashes may come from something burning in my room, for example, paper, or even tobacco. Hmm.. Maybe there were people smoking nearby, and the ashes got inside.

Hair
Don't ask me what hair that is. I don't want to know. But i can tell you that it is not curly.

Ants
There are about 8 ants inside my tea. For your information, i didn't put that much sugar inside. Not because i'm a health freak, but i'm running out of sugar. Wait. The sugar isn't even mine. Ants are bad for you and your brain. The old folks would always say,

Jangan makan semut. Bila cukup 44 semut nanti jadi pelupa/bodoh.
(Don't eat the ants. If you eat 44 of them, you'll become forgetful/stupid)

Although it may seem illogical, and there's no proof, it's quite right actually.
I may have eaten around 44000 ants in my lifetime. So, you do the math.

Stapler bullet
Now this is stupid.
Where the hell did THAT come from?
I for sure do not have a stapler, nor a stapler bullet. And i haven't been using one for a long time.
Or did the wind blew it inside? No way right.

My friend's explanation was even better.

Kau kena santau la tu. Dah macam cerita Long Khong dah. 
Lepas ni kau muntah ubat stapler la..

HAHAHAHAHA

Bad Start

As i have told you before, my exam starts last Thursday.
And it wasn't the best of starts.

The exam was at 8.30am.
By 7.40am, i was all set and ready.

Being the typical me, i did not prepare my stationeries earlier.
So, i dug out my pencil case and searched for pens and such.
There were a lot stuffs in my bulging pencil case.

Pens, mechanical pencils, highlighters, coloured pens and what not.

But the problem is, a normal, working pen was nowhere to be found.
It's either not in a good condition, as in the ink did not want to come out, or just plain out of ink.

Only certain words could be written clearly

Yep, there were 4 pens in total and 1 mechanical pencil.
Pilot, Stabilo, Papermate, you name it, i got it.
But none of them are serving their purpose.
Nice.

Even the Pilot Shaker is not working, damn

The ones that are working are the stupid fancy coloured pens, highlighters and other rubbish.
It was already 7.45am, and my friends were already waiting at the car park.

So, i searched the whole room frantically, and fortunately enough, i managed to find a working pen,
and a wood pencil somewhere somehow..
What the heck, it's the end product that matters, right?

And the wood pencil is kinda broken at the tip, so i had to search for a pencil sharpener and sharpen it.
As usual, the pencil would keep on breaking and all.
Luckily, i managed to get it right after a few attempts.

Back to basics yo

So, off i go to the car park. All of my friends were waiting inside the car already.
But then, i saw one of them holding something.
Something that i did not bring. Something that i should bring.

A calculator.

Aahh.. Damn. I forgot to bring my calculator.
So, i had to run back and get my calculator.

As i was running up the stairs, my shoelaces got untied,
i tripped,
and i nearly fell down.
Nearly.

And i saw a big pile of cat shit just right next to the spot i tripped.
It could have been a lot worse.
Phew.

So, i took my calculator and rushed back to the car.
Luckily, i didn't forget anything important.

I went into the examination hall, panting and sweating.
But not for long though.
It's 8.30am in the morning, the rain had just stopped, and the air-cond is at full blast.

Damn, i forgot my sweater!
Brain Freeze!

Luckily, my brain could still function well.

Sigh, not the best of start for the exams huh?
I told you, i had issues with Lady Luck.

That's why i needed all the good _uck i could get.

I Need Good __uck

Yuck? Duck?

It's 6am, and i have an exam in about 2 hours time.
Yep, the exams have officially started for me.

Being a last minute person, staying up the night before the exam is usual.
Nothing new.
Well, i don't have much choice really, haha.

I have been awake for around 12 hours, and it looks like i won't be sleeping till the next 12 hours.
Because why? The girlfy will be back this afternoon!
Err.. great timing huh? YAYYY!!

Luckily, there's only one paper today for me.
And the next next one next week.

And so, that is why i need some goooooood... luck.
You know that i have issues with Lady Luck, right?

And do not fill in the empty blank with inappropriate letters please?
I'm trying to study here okay? Hello.


I want that one. And that one. And that one too!

So, good luck to me!
I'll try my best to SCORE today! (the exam, that is)

Not Responding

See the title? Seems familiar?
Have you ever encountered that fucking thing?
An unexpected error has occured and Windows Explorer needs to shut down or some shit.

Yeah.
Fucking frustrating. I know.

Don't ask me. I've encountered this fucking error almost everyday.
I was just about to save a document, an assignment in fact, ahem, when this shit happens. So, the document was left unsaved.
Nice eh?

Luckily, there's the Microsoft Word autosave feature, which saves automatically, just in case this kind of shit happens. Yeah, they anticipated it well.
But still, the last saved file was not too recent, so i had to re-fucking-type a few paragraphs again.
And including the annoying 'reference' part too. Harvard style.
Hell yeah.

And then there's also the Football Manager 2009 game. While proceeding towards the next match, it kinda got stuck there. Just like that. And so, i had to kill the application, go back to Windows, and then restart the whole shit all over again.
Sigh.

It's not the first time, and hell no it ain't gonna be the last. As my laptop get more and more slow each day, i'll be looking forward to experiencing this more and more.
I seriously need to upgrade my RAM. 1GB of RAM is certainly not enough for a Vista laptop plus many other applications and games.
Even quitting a game and returning back to Windows takes an awful lot of time. I can even go to the toilet and come back later to see that it is still in the process of quitting.

Need.to.get.RAM.as.soon.as.possible.

And if the so-called unexpected error occurs while i'm posting this shit, hell no i won't be typing again.
I've had enough.

Exam Ramblings

Okay, now the exams are in full swing, and now i'm in the middle of a 3-in-a-row exam period. I mean 3 days in a row, not 3 exams in one day lah kan.
There's still tomorrow and Saturday. And more next week.

Why are there exams on Saturday? Come on la. Give me a break, i need my Saturdays. Now it's ruined with an exam. Sigh. But then again, there's something to look forward to this Saturday.
Football!

Arfsenal Vs. Manshitster United, that is. Although Arfsenal is kinda sucky lately, and Manshitster United is on a so-called form, i wouldn't bet against Arfsenal though (i would never). They are playing at home, and Manshitster United are playing against wounded animals.
So, anybody wanna bet? Bring it on.

Back to the topics of exams and studies, i am proud to say that i did actually study a lot. So much until my groin hurts (i don't know why). Yeah, now i'm studying really really hard smart. But then again, i don't know why some people seems to be beleaguered and in disbelief when they see me really studying. hahahah

Oh, and since i've been studying (really, i'm not lying) lately, there's something that i found to be quite interesting.

Effectiveness evaluates the extent to which goals are achieved.
Efficiency is measured by the resources/input used to produce products/output.
Efficiency leads to effectiveness.

So, what is so interesting about it? Well, it is true that efficiency leads to effectiveness, which means, when you use your resources well, and perform well, you will get your desired results.

But then again, i beg to differ.
For me, you don't have to be efficient to be effective.
You can be effective, but inefficient at the same time.

Understand what i'm saying?


Lu pikirlah sendiri!

Study Week or "Study" Week?

So, the exams are upon me, and during this study week, i have not been studying at all that much. That's normal i guess, for me. I'm not the kind of person who does things early. And that applies to my studies as well.
Selagi tak last minit betul-betul, tak study la.

So, during this free time, there are so many things to do, apart from studying. Among the things are:

In-house Karaoke

No, i did not go to any KTV lounge or Red Box or even a "Karok Jamban". This is home-made karaoke.
Using my very own set of speakers, 2 laptops, a mic, and a huge collection of music, voila!, a karaoke system is born!

Speaker 1 out of 5

A sub-woofer is a must

2 laptops, 1 for music library, the other for speaker/mic jack

Aha, nice eh? Our very own karaoke box. No fees needed. No time limits. Food and beverages are welcomed. Any songs that you want. Interested to join us?
hahahaha

The next activity is:

Poker/BlackJack/Gambling

No real money is used, yet.. ahahaha.
All that is needed is a deck of cards, some space, and a whole lot of luck (and balls too).

This is not me shuffling the cards as i never lose. Uh huh.

Notice the reddish light/atmosphere? Well, to make the whole club/casino thingy atmosphere a bit more real, we decided to put some red plastic on a study lamp.
Baru ada feeling beb!
Our very own casino + KTV lounge. hohoho

More than just a study lamp

The study lamp in all it's glory

Although karaoke-ing pollutes the environment, it is done for a good cause. To relax the mind after a long studying session. And after letting some steam off, i can go back and continue to study. Not only did i manage to train my vocals, i also kept others awake, so that they can study. lol

As for the gambling part though, it's quite addictive, i must say. No no, money is not used. Haram tu! Only fake tokens are used. hahaha.
Since my luck is so good, maybe i'll try to challenge the taiko-taiko up there in Genting. Or maybe get on a cruise ship to gamble or something. hahahaha.

Till then, back to studying. This time for real. Exams are soooo near already.
And more "study" activities will be shared soon.

Good Luck!
