Reappear Again~

Yeah~ I'm finally here again... I thought I'll never touch this blog ever again due to busyness in workplace which I hope it has been a good business so far... I don't know if anyone still reads my blog and if you do, welcome back! Okay, now the ranting begins:

So where the hell have I been? Well, I have finally found my job as a salesman selling educational kits and books for kids since January. The last place my company sent me was Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair starting March 19th to March 28th (P/S: Calvin, I don't know if you were there but I guess so because I know you are such a lovely book lover). It was more cramped with Arabic books compared to last year's so there were hell lots of chance to see so many hot Arab men that I didn't have much time to take their photos (*smirk).

Of course it will be totally weird if you don't happen to buy any books during book fairs. So these are the books I bought for some light reading:

Disclaimer: Believe it or not, all these books I bought are as shiny as pearl and definitely NOT used books. And of course, I bought them all during the final day~ (*grin)

Title: The Taliban: War, Religion and the New Order in Afghanistan
Author: Peter Marsden
Price: RM 5 (Normal price from Amazon: USD 23.95) - shocking, I know!

Title: Human Rights: Social Justice in the Age of the Market
Author: Koen De Feyter
Price: RM 5 (Normal Price from Amazon: USD 20.95) - I'm such a cheapass... but books on politics and Human Rights are my favorite genres. Hurray for me! Hehehehehe~


Title: Helen Keller (Rebel Lives Series)
Author: Helen Keller (Editor: John Davis)
Price: RM 5 (Normal Price from Amazon: USD 9.95) - This is the first book I have finished reading in just 3 hours after buying from book fair. The cover for US version seems weird though... so I bought the UK version instead.

What kind of books do you look for during book fairs?

A Job Interview

I've decided to delay my studies for a year due to some financial issues of setting bills for my school fees. I went to the nearest shopping mall and searched for vacancies there until I came across these shops:



Well it wasn't actually me who came across these myself but apparently it was David who introduced me about working at Starbucks. I never thought about working in such a fancy coffee house before due to my past experience of working in a Sushi bar had given me nightmares about the inflexible long working hours despite the salary rate is as low as 3.50 bucks per hour. He told the that the salary rate for part-timers is much more satisfactory yet employees would have a whole lot of interactions with their valued customers. I took a step forward to face the job interview and the manager told me she would give me a call within a week to inform whether if I'm on the employed list...

The interview was a little bit "fishy" because I'm more used to listen people talking about themselves more than I talk about myself but overall it was okay... So what's the most important for a job interview other than outfits and resume?

Slacking Off?

Well, I haven't posted anything for 2 months from now... I'm just feeling lazy these days... Hmmmm~~~ You think you see a crazy yet nerdy looking young man? That probably can just be me walking down the street.

My so-called-19th-birthday bash was canceled because of a big tragedy... I didn't expect myself to hit 19 just like that. These months I feel I'm in a great bad luck as too many negative situations happened on me... I feel so lazy to bother anything now...

The Wooden Dildo KeyChain - So Called Souvenir

I can finally upload photos with this kind of bad connection... Hurray! So here's the "thing" my sister has bought me from her so-called-Bali-trip below...


The conclusion I give from receiving this as a present?

SO-NOT-THE-DRAMA!

The Boring Days of Semester Break With Poor Internet Connection

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted any new updates (especially that photo) in time due to limited Internet Connection experienced these days. Uploading photos cause long term disconnection and I promise that I'll post it as soon as possible when the connections are fixed. And guess what? Hectic schedules of final examinations are finally over and everyone of us are having a semester break from school... Well, I can say it's the school I'm about to leave very soon.

Recently, I've been staying at home reading some books, watching TV, visiting relatives and waiting for my Foundation Certificate to be released and I'll be sending it for conversion at the Public Service Department (only if I manage to pass) as an application to Law School. I understand that if my certificate has failed the application, I'll have to take A Levels before pursuing a Law Degree. I don't mind taking another pre-University studies although many people would think it's a total waste of time as long as I can finally pursue what I've been longing for.

And what about that hot guy I keep mentioning about? Well, I've not bumped into him just simply because I've not any taken public transports outdoors these days. And to be honest, I don't think I'll ever meet him again... It sounds pathetic but let's face the facts. He lives in the opposite direction from my home in the country I live and don't forget that he's a Middle Eastern. He can just fly away returning to his homeland anytime as Middle Easterns are stereotypically filthy-rich here.

It has been so boring that I'm going to spend most of my holidays at some public libraries and bookstores for some light reading, references and shopping. The connection has been really bad here... You'd know what I'll be posting next besides the photos after my connection is being fixed... LOL... See ya!

For Best Friends - Give me a call or leave a message if you wanna hang out at bookstores... I'll be waiting!

I'm Back...

Preparations for the final examinations have been so overwhelming until I had no time to update any posts... I'm so sorry if anyone of you is wondering where on earth I'd been to... I'm so sorry!

Well, guess what? I received quite a number of presents from my family and friends lately... A parcel arrived my doorstep accepted by my dad from the mailman at 12pm three days ago when I was doing my last minute studies at school just 2 hours before the Math exam. I actually didn't know about the arrival of the parcel until my dad gave me a call and told me about it.

I headed home after the exam to find out what was delivered to me. It was a book delivered by my 3rd eldest sister in U.K. titled "I'm Not Myself These Days" by Josh Kilmer Purcell, a memoir of a gay man struggling for survival and everything else he needs in the society. I actually had searched for this book for 4 months at every single local bookstore but it isn't available at anyone of them so I asked my sister to buy it for me all the way from U.K. I wonder if she can tell that I'm gay by reading that book... or maybe she just buys it without reading it?

(Notice : I'll post a review about this book much later around next week)

After that, at 6:47pm, my eldest sister visited home with her husband. They just came back from Bali trip bringing some bags of souvenirs. I let you guess what she has bought me... What's in your mind now? Haven't you got any idea? Well, I guess I have to tell you that I actually received a...

WOODEN DILDO KEYCHAIN !!!

Yeah, I know it sounds weird that she bought it for me without any knowledge that I'm gay. She even bought it for my dad and my younger brother as a practical "joke" which I don't even find it to be funny... Use it? I don't know... and I don't want to know... LOL

If you're playing an MMORPG game called Maple Story, you'll understand what I'll be taking about here... Some online friends I've known gave me a total of 250, 000 Mesos as a token of friendship... And if you happen to play it, you can either track or message me in MapleSEA. Want to know my playing character's name and the game server I'm using? E-mail me... but I'll decide if I want to tell you... LOL

So that's all for today... I'll definitely post the photograph of the dildos tomorrow and do comment... Have a great day and stay tuned, stay cute!

Went Karaoke With Birthday Girl

It was Cheryl's birthday yesterday. To celebrate her birthday, close friends and a some classmates gathered up together for karaoke at The Garden's Mall. The entrance session starts at 1pm but we arrived early at 12pm. To waste some time we all went to the closest McDonald's fast food chain downstairs in the mall. Take a look at the photos below how Sam enjoyed his Sundae cone.

Adapted from the Oreo's cookies TV commercial, we stabbed french fries on top of the ice-cream just like how the kid dunked those cookies in milk on TV. Creative eh?

Look how he enjoyed eating it... OMG... Okay! honestly, it actually doesn't taste bad at all. I even tried it before... LOL

And so we all went all the way upstairs back for the karaoke. Without blabbering much describing what happened during the karaoke, here comes the photos with a few captions below. I somewhat agree that "A picture is worth a thousand words"... LOL

Selecting songs
Birthday girl singing...

How do/did you celebrate your friend's birthday?

P/S : I censor out the dates because I set them wrongly... I'm so sorry!!!

Just Another Midterm Examination...

I sat for Psychology paper this evening at 2:30pm. Literally, I can say it was an absolute, complete nightmare that I could not even bear to sit. Previously, I spent like hours revising it but somehow, I didn't manage to store those crappy lecture notes in my brain though. Hence, I wrote crap jokes (which are actually not funny) in the 3rd section (Essay Question) of the paper and left the room like nobody's business. I hope to survive at upcoming Math paper on next Wednesday... LOL

Tomorrow will be Friday (like, duh!) and I'd meet Esther at school in the afternoon to help her buying a registration form. Besides, I need to go shopping for more books for light reading... I wonder what I should get for this week...

Met Him Again...

I accidentally met that young cute Arabic man again this afternoon. He stood just right beside me quietly in the train, reading a book. The book he was reading was called "Cutting Edge English- Elementary Level" (that makes me strongly believe that he is studying English in the British Embassy). I felt some heat at my ears when I was staring him, wondering if I actually blushed in front of him... But this time, I somehow remembered that he actually looked like a male singer I saw from A.R.T. (Arab Radio Television) Channel on TV (and yeah, I sometimes watch that channel from time to time for songs in midnights whenever I can't really sleep as my own freakish habit) about 2 years ago (and still can't believe I still remember it). And indeed, I can't believe he actually looks like...

... the younger version of SHADY ASWAD... The Syrian male singer who sings "romantically (at least his voice sounds so because I have very limited understanding in Arabic except the word 'Halbibi' which means 'Love'... LOL)". Take a look at Shady's album cover below. The hottie I met looks exactly like him in the photo (and okay, I admit he's a hottie as well) except with the fact that he (the guy I met) has a clean shaven face... Hehe...

P/S: I feel like melting once again~ Oooh~


CLICK HERE to navigate Shady Aswad's Official Website (and I swear now he looks older but I still admire his voice... LOL)

Beautiful Eyes...


I woke up at 6am this morning to catch a train to school this morning but he train arrived at 7:45am instead of 7:05am. So that means I was late for school again which starts at 8am (*sigh~)...

While I was waiting for the train at the train station, I saw a young, handsome yet hot Arabic man sitting on a bench carrying a black canvas backpack. He has such white, flawless yet smooth looking complexion, neat classical hairstyle that matches his facial shape, thin rosy pink lips and a firm moderate Greek nose. He was wearing a blue checkered shirt, a pair of gray jeans and a pair of black Nike shoes with white strips at the sides. But what attracted me the most are his beautiful pair of hazel eyes. His thick masculine eyebrows and long curvy eyelashes simply made me irresistible when it comes to looking at him... But I wasn't dare to approach nearer in order to take a photo of him... What a waste~

I caught myself getting horny when it comes to looking at him... LOL... Well, you can't blame me for that because it had been quite hard for me to search for an eye candy at a train station early in the morning until I saw one this morning... As the result, I found myself blushing sitting on the same bench beside him until the train arrived. It was so embarrassing that I took some time to get over the feeling because I know it's quite wrong to have feelings toward an Arabic man because I know he's a Moslem. Furthermore, what would happen if he appears to be a homophobe? I wonder...

I always envy Middle Eastern people to have such beautiful eyes that has the magical ability penetrate my soul (maybe everyone's soul as well). The way they look at people are way too mystical yet mythical at the same time. I would also like my future boyfriend to have a pair beautiful eyes other than having good personality... LOL... So what do you think of beautiful eyes? Do post me comments below... LOL

Sports Shirt Design

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...

Second School Semester Break

Today is the first day of the second school semester break. Final examinations ended quite roughly with Marketing yesterday because everyone was looking forward to go out for vacations instead of striving hard studying last minute for it... LOL


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?

Let's Talk About Relationship

ที่เขาดีดีๆ ทำไมไม่รัก รักทำไมแต่คนไม่ดี
tee kao dee dee tum mai mai ruk ruk tum mai tae kon mai dee
(Why not loving one who is good instead of loving someone who is not good?)

- คนดีๆทำไมไม่รัก by Ice Saranyu

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.

"I think I have some cute guys to be introduced for you to date with. Do you want their contacts?" D* asked.

(* Names are hidden for privacy purposes...)

... (And Much Much More) ...


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?

P/S - To all other friends who really want to know, please don't take my answers personally. It's my way to clarify something...

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 B: Urrgh! Shut the f*ck up! Studying is to gain knowledge, not to gain number of people to sleep with. And how many times do I have to tell you I'm gay? I'M GAY AND I HAVE MY PRIDE!!! So, shut up!

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...


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 3rd and 4th 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...

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...

The Accident Hint...


I've had enough listening to my dad's "lecture" about his dreams of my marriage for about three or four months to me. But I didn't mean to tell him the truth this afternoon that I don't wanna get married (with a woman) and have children while he was driving me and my mom home from my sister's place. I understand that he was so shocked and at the same time, disappointed with my sincere answer to his "dreams". All of us then went into deep silence in the moving vehicle until we all reached home...

I'm so sorry that I accidentally gave him the first hint of confession to my own dad about my sexual orientation. I really didn't mean to do that...

Offered myself to help my dad pasting the poetic banners he has written for upcoming Chinese New Year just now. He was talking to me like usual... I know it's obvious that he was trying to break the ice... But is he trying to accept the fact?

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:

  • Situation 1 (phone conversation)

  • 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.

  • Situation 2 (text messaging)

  • 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? @#$%&!) ......

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

    Now I know why Business is meant for adults only...

    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?

    End of 2008, End of Disasters - Please?

    I almost forgot to update posts due to busy schedules preparing for final presentations. Lucky me for remembering this blog I have for almost a year... (feeling shame)... Anyways, what's up for today? Well, pardon me for a little habit of complaining...

    I had a presentation for Web Page Design this morning that turned into a total mess just exactly like what everyone seemed to assume. You can say it's my fault as well because I'm in the group so we all should take critical responsibilities as a whole. But I really couldn't believe that my laptop that uses AMD processor can create a conflict with a simple LCD projector that only recognizes Intel-based gadgets during the preparation for the presentation. As a result, presentation was being done late... I'm so sorry!

    Besides, someone in the group, who is a boy, just read the presentation slides with short sentences provided without giving any elaborations which I had to backup his speeches every after his speech.

    This year is just overwhelming enough to celebrate new year. From the first semester of studies until now in 2008. I wonder what 2009 would bring...

    Christmas Sales!

    I'm happy because I've finally had bought myself Christmas presents for myself yesterday which are a black formal shirt and a pair of black formal pants at SEED Boutique with my friend, Lawrence because of Christmas sales. They're both come out with 50% discount which makes me really delighted when I looked at the discount signs at the boutique...

    Why delighted? That's because the apparels were about $110 each, thus total will be $220 as original price but after the discount, they've become only $55 each, total price deducted to be $110 which makes me think they're really affordable... not bad eh?

    I'm not buying anything for New Year but I wonder what I should buy myself next for upcoming Chinese New Year...
