Translator Gets Fired From Navy For Being Gay
I hate the fact that when people get fired from their job simply because of their sexual orientation and I simply don't understand why gay people have to live in the closet in terms of employment.
"In U.S.A., the military has kicked out 58 Arabic linguists because they were gay want the Pentagon to explain how it can afford to let the valuable language specialists go. "
- International Herald Tribune
I strongly believe that professionals, regardless of sexual orientation, do give contributions to improve the world when they're given appreciations and opportunities to do so. Therefore, I really hope such discrimination will stop to save this world from this type of corruption...
P/S: The biggest problem I'm having here right now is that I'm majoring Linguistics and will be taking Arabic as well... So this really bugs me a lot... (*sigh~)

These Five Days...
Why??? Why ME???
I really don't like this Chinese New Year... It's irritating!!!
I don't really mean offensive to say this but things have actually happened too much during this Chinese New Year... It doesn't feel like Chinese New Year at all as I'm sandwiched between this celebration and upcoming final examinations... Even the family dinner was simply ruined by my own dad for not joining in the table purposely although my mom and I had begged him to join... Urrgh~~~ I wonder what was wrong with him!!! I don't want this kind of family dinner~
Then, there isn't anyone visiting my house for this so-called celebration at all. Yes, I admit that I'm quite lonely sitting alone at home without any old friends coming to have some noise. The whole neighborhood I live has been so quiet that not even a single "pop" of the firecracker for the first two days of celebration in the whole neighborhood I live as well... Damn it! I hate this kind of loneliness...
Besides, all I have done in this week are just eat, eat and EAT... Therefore, I need to lose more weight when school restarts soon and I really hope I will not have this kind of Chinese New Year celebration anymore... I'm darn serious...

Business With Kids...
"Umm? Dad? I wonder if you can come to my 'office' and sign our mutual-beneficial contract for a Nintendo DS as a sponsorship asset if I get straight A's..."It's just another day I'm selling some of the old textbooks at school to a bunch of junior students. Well, I don't mean to be offensive but they're just kids who are really childish asking weird questions when they were doing business with me. I wonder if they know what it means to be engaged in business conversations... Anyway, now I've found out that kids are pretty tough to do business with. Here's why:
Kid A: Hello? Is this Joe? I wanna know if you have the Pre-Calculus textbook to sell as I need it.
Me: (What the hell? What's your name? Of course you're calling me just because you NEED it...) I'm sorry that I do not have the stock for it now. It is said that Math lecturers will offer to provide the books. Please consult your lecturers if they are providing some copies. Thank you.
Kid B: Hey Joe, I'm interested to buy your books. Do you have the original copies or the xeroxed copies?
Me: (Who's the next unknown kid bothering me now? Can't these kids introduce themselves?) I have a few copies of each for sale, please refer to the posted advertisement and the enclosed list of textbooks and the suppliers on the board.
Kid B: A few copies of each? Does it mean the books are not complete?
Me: (Urrgh~ Kid! Can't you READ and UNDERSTAND my words? Shut the f**k up!) The books are complete. (How on earth am I going to sell them if they're incomplete?) I have several original copies of textbooks and a few xeroxed ones. Can I know which textbook is your concern?
Kid B: Oh, so does it mean that you're keeping the textbooks with lecture notes included for sale? Well, I'm looking for two textbooks, Pre-Calculus and General Maths. So how much do you sell them?
Me: (What? I don't even mention lecture notes are included on the advertisement I wrote. And now you're even bargaining with me? @#$%&!) ......

Disappointing Food At BBQ Chicken
It was 12:34pm when me, Chelsea, Ben, Yoke Fung and M.Y. hung out for lunch at nearby BBQ Chicken after school. The true reason for hanging out for lunch with them is because today is our final day for studying the second semester at school before final exams after Chinese New Year. Another reason of eating there was because of a recommendation of a friend who had then given me a $5 discount voucher. A significant quote as a claim, "Korea's No. 1 Chicken Restaurant" was found printed on the voucher when I read it.
Of course, there's always a small discount to be given to us, as students, when eating out around our school area. Well, you can say that hanging out for lunch there was great... until disasters happened...
All of us arrived there by taking a short walk from school. As we entered the restaurant, we saw a sign "15% Discounts for Students. Bring Your Student ID along and You May Enjoy The Privilleges" posted on the glass door. What we could see there were just a few customers eating at two tables so we entered. We were then being seated and given menus by a waitress. The very first thing which made me felt so friggin pissed in the restaurant was the waitress herself because she just left without telling us anything about recommendations after giving us menus. So we had to searched the menus for about 15 minutes ourselves before ordering.
After that we called that waitress back for ordering our lunches. The three of us, M.Y, Yoke Fung and me ordered the promotional set meals of the month on a piece of leaflet enclosed in the menus called Set C, a combination of hot and spicy chicken (a.k.a. Hot Hot Chicken) with Fiesta Rice, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw as Ben ordered Set A, Charbroiled Chicken with Fiesta Rice, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw. Chelsea ordered Set D, which includes Fried Chicken with Mashed Potato, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw, for herself.
Since all set meals are being included with soft drinks, I asked the waitress what were the varieties to be chosen. But the waitress just said with an angry look, "Oh, only Pepsi and Strawberry."
What the hell is wrong with her talking to us with such a tone?
Oh well, we all thought that she might be having somekind of stress so we just kept quiet about that. Since there were only two options, all four of my friends ordered Pepsi so I chose Strawberry. After that, she just jolted down our orders with such a facial expression and left without telling us anything about the serving time.
While waiting for the food to be served, I took some time observing the interiors of the restaurant myself. I liked the walls as they were painted in red but there's a really big yet annoying abstract portrait of a creepy old man painting outdoors hanging on a wall near the entrance. I can even say it is the most "un-Korean" restaurant interiors I've ever seen so far. I even wonder how that restaurant can gain the quote to claim as "Korea's No.1"...Of course, there's always a small discount to be given to us, as students, when eating out around our school area.

The food was then served on our tables by a waiter... wait a second! Did I just said "Waiter"? Yes, indeed, the waitress had just disappeared in the dimension of nowhere and at least he served our food with a smile. That was okay, until the we tried our food...
I started off my meal with the soup. It was sweet corn cream soup. Chelsea doesn't like corns so she just took a few tablespoonful into her mouth forcefully... After finishing the soup, I moved on to the Fiesta Rice. It tasted really good but what had actually made me shocked was the portion of the rice itself. There was just a small cup of rice on the big white place. How disappointful!
The next would be the nuggets. Gosh! They were not crispy at all but soggy... To finish it forcefully, I poke it with my fork and dip at the remaining Corn Soup then pop them into my mouth. Chelsea asked Ben if they taste good. So Ben just exclaimed "SOOOO GOOD" with funny facial expressions that everyone on the table smirked at him.
I finally tried the "Hot Hot Chicken". Well, the chicken was fine but the sauce had reached the off-limits. The spiciness was overwhelming that it felt like smokes coming out of my ears. Besides, the sauce tasted like a blend of Thai chili sauce with Kimchi sauce but with very light flavors. Therefore, too spicy but light flavors are not a balanced combination.
Finished the food forcefully and paid our bill. We thought the disasters were over but there was one more... The discounts! Where did all our discounts go? We quickly rushed to the payment counter and asked for explainations. All we could get was the lame excuse of "Promotional Sets are already in discounts. So no more discounts for students". M.Y. was so frustated and scolded the cashier that the staff should have told us earlier.
In conclusion, we promised ourselves not to eat there again. It's a scam for students! And it's our fault for falling into that trap... (*sigh~)
Observations
I really love to observe so that I can remember what I see. That’s why I love to learn about different cultures all around the world. From observing what my friends around me, what they’re wearing, what their expressions are like, what they are doing to every single bit of details and flaws on objects, the habit of doing so seems to be addicted.
I observed the table of grades published for the Mid Term Examinations at the school bulletin board during lunch. As I looked at the table, I’ve found that the results of practical assessment in terms of assignments and presentations are so unfair. For me, I only get 8 out of 10 points for Marketing Presentations. Comparing to other students, I only get very average marks as I really tried my very best to complete the works.
I also observed some of my classmates with other students whom I do not know at a school hall for their choir rehearsal today by letting myself sitting alone at a corner of the room. For their choir performance, the song they’re singing is the newly composed school anthem by one of the senior students who is much more talented in music. They were really great at singing during the session but I don’t feel any passion from them for the school itself.
Seeing them gathering together around singing the song somehow makes me feeling even more boundaries in between. This kind of a feeling is just the same as the feelings I had towards my ex-classmates for the last school semester… Am I actually the one who doesn’t belong?
Hung out at nearby McDonalds with my best friend. We bought ourselves fries and chit-chatted for 30 minutes about how suck our life has been at school before going home... How far can I take my own path of life to observe?
Unexpected Accident
I arrived late at 9am this morning to school because I woke up late at 6:20am so I decided to skip the lecture for Marketing which started at 8am. Had a fast-pacing revision during the tutorial lesson for Management in the afternoon until 3pm. Went home by taking public transports but arrived home in the late evening at 6pm. When I arrived home, I found something has missing in front of the house - My precious pet dog as well has his toys and other equipments.
I saw my dad squatting outside at the door frowning, holding his forehead with his left hand and a can of Beck's beer with his right hand. He kept quiet but he gave me some sign language that my pet dog has died being knocked down by a car at a highway near my house. I was shocked but at the same time, I was unable to show any facial expression... Then, I also saw both of my eldest sister's eyes were red and swollen a little because of crying.
Why? Why my dog has to be the victim of this tragedy? Couldn't that driver lower down his gear to let his fucking car slow down? Couldn't he just brake for the sake of sparring a life? I wonder what the driver's driving license is for when he already has the potential to knock down other lives... Now that he has taken my precious pet's life, he should be "blessed" with the upcoming tragedies awaiting him. I'm sure he will...
I'm feeling so emotionless today...

Another Sleepover... I've Had Enough!
Oh... NOT AGAIN?!
I've had enough doing all these Art assignment crap that I have to visit to my friends' house to have another sleepover again. It's not that I hate to live outside but I still don't understand why I have to sleep over at their house using their stuffs in their room. I don't feel comfortable and I don't like it!
Even worse, I've recently skipped dinner time that has made me feel hungrier and hungrier just to get the works done. ARGH! I need burger right now... I want more MEAT!!! I NEED FOOD IN TIME!!!
I know I feel quite loopy today but the weather is really hot that has made me sweating continuously all over my body influencing my mood. You'll have to excuse my behavior for this time... but I really need plenty of water to calm myself up...

New Age...
If you have listened to Enya before and enjoyed her songs, then you are counted in as the New Age Music lovers. New Age songs emphasizes flowing emotions unlike any other songs. Sometimes they calm you down from stresses and reflect your emotions. Here is one of the examples of New Age Music Video that reflects my thoughts of the rain below. Enjoy...
Bad Days
Why? Why am I the one to be blamed? WHY?
I still can't believe what was happening to me yesterday. I was blamed and scolded for everything regarding group assignment for English by the tutor for no reason. Wanna know what she said? Here goes;
"I'm so disappointed with all of you for doing the wrong thing! Especially YOU (pointed at me as the whole class watched)!"
JESUS! WHY AM I THE ONE TO BE BLAMED WHEN IT COMES TO GROUP ASSIGNMENT? YOU NAMED IT GROUP ASSIGNMENT AND WHEN IT COMES TO BLAMING, EVERYONE IS TO BE BLAMED IN THE GROUP WITH NO EMPHASIZING! IT WILL NOT BE A RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER MEMBERS WHEN IT COMES TO EMPHASIZING ME! YOU ACTED LIKE YOU'VE SAID THE APPROPRIATE THINGS BUT YOU DIDN'T, YOU STUPID TUTOR! SHAME ON YOU! SHAME! ENGLISH TUTOR EH? ENGLISH TUTORS WITH NO MANNERISM LIKE YOU SHOULD PACK THEIR BAGS AND SCRAMBLE!
Things got even worse when it was Mid Term Examination for Accounting. I couldn't believe myself that I didn't have enough time to complete the final question! All the rewards I got for those was a heavy traffic jam in the evening after school. There wasn't any dinner on the table when I reached kitchen after arriving home... (sigh~)... and finally ended the day with a big sleep at late night.
Bad things went on this morning when I reached school. I was told roughly to be the host for debate during Public Speaking lecture, and the process of being watched started again... (sigh~)... But it was all okay as I could get a desk and a chair, sitting in front quietly and listened what the 1st and 2nd group debated about. But the debate and what the other chairman said were such a mess! They must be lacking of knowledge at debates...
Another Mid Term Examination... Computer Studies. I don't understand why those lecturers were so intense and shouted at everyone else in the hall about the examination rules. The examination was fine but there was 1 question which I couldn't answer... What a waste...
I do hope the days in the future can be better... I feel regretful for studying at the school where teachers blame student...
