☼ The Dreamer's Diary ☼

It started off when I sat in silence,
There is the place where I can see.
Mirrors of hopes broke into pieces,
Pages of happiness torn apart,
The lights are being faded.
Yet they have become the darker side of me.

The howling North wind had started to drift,
Dark clouds of loneliness came to cover the sun.
The ferocious thunder then began to clap,
Tapping rhythms of tears were to be heard.

Dried leaves came off from the trees,
Dancing along into the Eastern breeze,
In a search of faded memories and dreams,
Decaying in a corner of nowhere to be seen.

The drops of tears have now fallen from sky,
They keep reminding me for not to cry.
When masqueraders keep trying hard to pry,
The fallen tears in my heart will never be dried.

My younger brother's best friends came over in a total of 3 at my home last week at 9am right after I woke up to request and begged me for designing a school sports shirt. I was shocked to receive such request early in the morning because I, myself is not very good at drawing especially when it comes to designing a shirt with a PC. I can never stand anyone begging to do something I'm not very good at so I refused and then explained to them but they insisted and kept begging me to make one for them... (*sigh~ kids...)

For crying out loud, I couldn't stand them any longer and agreed to make them a shirt but I warned them in advance that my drawing would not be as good as any other people - And so, they agreed. I was then given information of their school and their sport team which is the "Hornbill team". They told me that their main color of their team is yellow so I had to design it in such color. (*So many requirements...)

I had done it just 2 days ago and sent the drawings to the tailor. Here is the initial sketching I had done earlier:

So, the horn was being rejected by them. I wonder how people would know if the bird is a Hornbill since the horn is missing... LOL... I used Inkscape to draw it as I can't really afford to own Adobe Illustrator. And because I'm quite unfamiliar at using the software, the ugly results came out below (Please pardon me for ugly drawing):

P/S: I have no idea what kind of font they used for the letter K for the right sleeve as well as the school badge at the left sleeve. Therefore, I leave both sleeves blank. The backside design of the shirt is kept under privacy... hehehe...

Empress: Old Fashion - Not Innovative - Take Away!
Jang Geum: Your Majesty, This is KFC's Kimchi Burger.

Narrator: Fragrant fried chicken patty with sour-spicy Korean kimchi topped with BBQ sauce.

Emperor: Enough taste. Give me one more (holds Jang Geum's hand)...

Before I officially announce the result to all of you, I would like to thank all my friends and readers who have voted the first poll I've made last week. Your contributions to this Blog of mine are deeply appreciated. I really didn't expect this infamous Blog of mine can receive such contribution from all of you. Without you guys, how can this Blog survive? Thank you for reading my posts although more explicit contents will be uploaded... Thank you~

The reason to ask if you guys want me to upload more personal pictures of mine is because I'm currently fed up with my life being too closeted. Although I would not post any photos of my face because I'm not "lengzai" (handsome), I will definitely post some photos that are related to my life. And yeah, you guys will have to pardon me for bad photography because I'm not so good at it. Maybe someone can teach me? LOL

And now, I shall announce the results...

The most selected answer from friends and other visitors is...

To all friends and readers who are currently in their romantic relationships with their partners, I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day.

Although I'm not really celebrating Valentine's day, it is indeed an important day to spend more time with my family today. Hey, don't you agree that family love is important too?

Besides, I do believe that if you have found someone you truly love and care, Valentine's Day will actually happen everyday. Why do I say so? That is because my brothers-in-law have provided quite a lot of special presents, good surprises and nice places to date for my elder sisters from the day they firstly commit their relationships until now after their marriage... LOL

Before I officially end this post for today, here's a photo of my new dog wearing a shirt with the word 사랑하다 Saranghada (Means "to be fond of") all over it. Click the photo to get a larger view...

It was really funny to see everyone scrambling out of the hall to go home just like what the chickens did in the movie "Chicken Run" when the exam ended at 4pm...LOL... I headed to MPH store alone at M.V. after having some tea and snacks with Yoke Fung at 5pm.

I thought I can actually buy a book to kill my time for this semester break once I reach there but the prices of most books are too expensive. Most of the language books there are priced highly are Mandarin, Japanese and Thai. I do understand that the language books for Mandarin and Japanese are being priced at higher cost because they are gaining popularity to be spoken worldwide but THAI???

Here is the title of the book with its prices in Baht and our currency, Dollar below:


"Thai for Intermediate Learners - by Benjawan Poomsan Becker" at only 299 Baht in Thailand but $57 here!!!

I still can't believe my eyes that a book for learning Thai can be that expensive in the country I live. It is not even logical for high pricing a book imported from Thailand as the country is our neighboring country. I think local people would really have to rush into Krungthep as a trip for buying it... LOL

Anyways, I really don't have an exact idea how to spend my holidays. What are your suggestions? What are your plans then?

Most friends of mine have somewhat developed a habit talking about relationships in the month of February. There are kinds of relationships. Friendship is one of them but not that kind of relationship they seem to talk about. What they actually mean is the romantic relationship. Why are they talking about this? Valentine's Day fever or just being trendy to show off that they have partners? I wonder...

Before I clarify myself if I'm yearning for a partner to date with, here are some really weird questions they've asked me:

"Hey, Valentine's Day is coming very soon. Are you planning to date anyone?" A* asked.

"Huh? All these days you're studying at your school and not trying to court any pretty girl there?" B* asked.

"I was talking to some friends whether if you have secretly admired someone based on your personality and confessed about it. Do you really have someone you secretly admire and not telling me?" C* asked.

Gosh, I really can't believe myself receiving these kind of questions from my very own friends. To A, B, C, and D, what are your expectations to hear from me anyway? Let me give you my answers below. But after reading the answers below, you have to understand, respect and pardon me for these answers. It is your choice to say I'm "Lan Si"(arrogant) or whatever crap because it's my nature to be so. Just shut up and don't ask why, OK?

To A: What do you mean? Do you mean just to date someone sacrificing their time to overcome YOUR loneliness for the sake of whatsoever Valentine's Day? Do you think dating someone is that simple? If it's that simple, there would be a heck of people getting dumped like how you eat and then poop. And what does it have to do with you if I date someone?

To C: Awww, not again... You know what, I know you are curious about me but not until let me know that you were gossiping about me a while ago. It pisses me off, you know? Instead of gossiping with a bunch of monkeys about me, why not asking me directly and personally if you're really that curious?

To D: WHAT!? What do you think I am? Part time prostitute yearning for sex and money? So what if they're cute? So what if they're loaded? Ask them all to F*CK THE HELL OUTTA HERE!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what do I actually seek for a relationship? For me, I would rather choose trust as the most priority of all. Other requirements I want are loyal, caring, handsome, and ambitious boyfriend to slut around with... LOL... I really hope he can appear in my life...

Final examinations have started this evening at 2pm in auditorium hall with Writing for Business to be the very first paper to sit in. For this subject, students were given 2 hours to answer all the questions provided. There were 4 sections in this paper where students are required to write two different essays (memo and formal letter) at the 3^rd and 4^th Section.

Overall, I would rate the paper moderately hard that I couldn't even finish the final question... That proves Silly Joey is a careless little boy most of the time during examinations... And that carelessness has sometimes cause him losing some precious marks...

A funny miracle happened due to the shortage of time and the exhaustion of writing while sitting for the exam. Silly Joey used his RIGHT hand that is famous for sketching outline pictures to write just like what he did during Sociology lectures. It was kinda shocking that the hand actually worked well for jolting fast (but ugly handwriting... LOL). Too bad the index finger bled as I overused my strength to grip the pen to write...

Joined Ozee, Yoke Fung and Poh² to S.F. Cafe at JO Mall near our school after examination for tea and chit-chatting. But instead of tea, we ordered cakes as well for desserts... LOL... I have to be honest telling you that the cakes are quite delicious but fattening (except mine because I had Lemon Yogurt Cheese Cake with green tea). I browsed their menus and surprisingly I found Pad Thai, my favorite... but the price gave me a deep disappointment just because it is too expensive for just a plate of simple Pad Thai.

Wednesday will be a hectic day for me as I'll be sitting Web Page Design, the subject that I hate most!!! I'm wondering how to cope with this subject...
