What's going on with my life

Answer: Nothing much.

Pretty much everyday I've been on Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, and a few other random shit I read.
I'm getting just plain bored, to be honest; but I can't help but to actually check the few sites everyday. Even if my social life sucks, even if I barely go out, even if I barely even get notifications on Facebook. But I just can't help it.

Like everyone else who usually goes on the internet, I've been trapped into the vortex. Yeah well, to make it simple, I'm addicted.
This has lead me to my bad blinking habit. I've tried to 'stop' going on the computer for many many many times. Going on holidays did help, but only for a week or so - but you would probably find me screaming at my iPhone, searching for free WiFi so I can check my Facebook notifications.

Going on holidays helped me cure my blinking only for a certain amount of time, but after that I get addicted to the computer again and my bad blinking habit comes back FML/FTS. The worse thing is, I'm beginning to bring my laptop along with me to my holidays. That's entirely my fault and it was my choice, but yeah, yaddayadda I can't help it.

The computer, or rather the internet, has amazed me. You could spend what you feel like is 10 minutes on the computer, watching videos on YouTube or reading blogs and articles, and voila! 3 hours have passed, with you watching random stuff that includes obsession of spoons or some guy getting whacked at the balls multiple times whatsoever.

My mom always told (or rather nagged) me about getting out of the computer to do some sports; mix some people, exercise (bleh) - but it just isn't the same as last time anymore.

When my mom was a kid, she lived in a kampung. Sekinchan in Kuala Selangor, to be exact. She said she used to play basketball and had many friends. She also has 5 sisters and 2 brothers. They would play virtually everything with anything they can find; sticks, stones, guli (marbles), bags of sand whatever. They just had so much to do.

But that was then. They did not have any computers, nor technology as advanced as it is now.

If they did have computers, I bet my mom would be tricked by some online predator and I would be an orphan.

Really (but not really).

This generation had changed so much. Computers came out, laptops came out. Game consoles were the 'it' thing to have, and yes; I'm proud, or actually rather ashamed, to have fallen into the trap.

I nagged my mom to buy me the latest game consoles. If I never got it, I would probably just watch the other 'cool' people playing and just sulk to myself. I do have game consoles; the Nintendo Wii and DS, but now it's all DSis and PS3s and XBox 360s. But I'm kinda happy with what I have now, considering I barely play game consoles because I usually give up on RPG games that they always release. Fail, I know. I give up easily.

So I rely to the internet.

And so does my mom now, since she's just started using the computer. So far, she's been addicted to it. Instead of watching TV with my dad, she would be in a room, clicking away at her email or Facebook or some designer label website. I think my dad's getting annoyed as he's being left out; and since everyone is abandoning him for the internet.

Lololol @ dad.

But the internet has been many help to me, and probably to everyone else; I chatted with my old friends, reminiscing about those memories we all had. I'm even going to meet one of my old friends who moved to Australia 2 years ago (woah that's a long time), Amanda. We're gonna meet up and talk about the good times again. Definitely excited for that event!

The internet has also been great help to my mom, who now still types extremely slow; but that's not the point. She misses my brother terribly, so she frequently video calls him when he's free.

Okay, back to the topic (which is going hanky-panky right now because my mind is spacing out and I don't know what to blog about so I'm simply just gonna type)

(wtf hanky-panky?)

So basically, my daily routine;

Wake up, brush teeth etc, eat breakfast, go to school, come back from school, eat my early 'dinner', go on the computer for a while, shower, watch TV while using the computer, eat some fruits or get some juice, sleep.

It's always like that everyday, and it's just my routine I guess.

Unless if there's something to do, like drum classes or vocal class, then it's pretty much sandwiched into the routine.

So moral of the story: Get a life, like I'm trying to right now.

Schools

'Kay, so some of you know that I've been in 3 schools (excluding kindergarten) in my life so far.
One had been SJK(C) Yuk Chai, which is a government school, Sekolah Sri KDU, the private school, then now Tenby International School, the international school.

This post is about what my experiences are. And I feel like an old lady telling her grandchild a story. *facepalm*

The government school, Yuk Chai; well, I've only been there for one year. That's why my mandarin is so horribly crap and my parents pretty much say I'm a disgrace to the Chinese. But when I was in Standard 1, my english was crap too. I wasn't pretty much of a study person (I still am now), and I barely had any friends. So, I was pretty much the lousiest and antisocial student any parent wouldn't really bother about. I did have some friends, but they usually went into cliques and their own little groups. I'd usually find myself sitting alone, in the canteen, eating curry noodles. And also getting curry soup all over my face and pinafore. FML. I only joined a few friends sometimes, then I'd feel so left out because they were going on with their own stuff and talking about secret stuff. Which obviously I don't know about. So yes, I was a super antisocial poor-english poor-chinese girl.

Yes, I pity myself. You should pity my childhood too.

When I was moved to KDU after a year of antisocial-ness, KDU was still a brand-new shiny school. I dared myself to make new friends, and well; that worked, because everyone was new and never wanted to leave their parents. So in came the 'Hi, my name is Jane!' and 'What's your name?' typical child language and curiosity. So, I made so much more new friends, and I was happy. There were a bunch of us; pretty much joined at the hip and went wherever who went. Childhood games, such as 'catching' or 'Fire and Ice'. Good times, eh. We even had this game which was something like 'Animals' or something like that. I remember vaguely being the 'owner' of all the other 'animals', which were the other students. I guess I've always liked being the main bitch leader. So anyway, I had dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and any other animal you could imagine of. Seriously. I used to hold on to my friends' ID tags and treated them like leashes. We'd all go up and down the huge ramps in KDU, outside the library. All the other friends even had their animal calls ready, WTS hahaha.

Now that I mentioned it, I sound like some kind of bondage mistress who has a weird fetish for animals WTF.

This was also the stage where there were 'cooties' and 'booties' (WTF booties). Cooties came from girls, while booties came from boys. Seriously, what were we thinking about. We'd pass the 'virus' all around, so it was a game of catch.

I was a student at Sri KDU for 6 whole years. I've met new people, made new friends, had some 'I-don't-friend-you' fights, and all that. I still do miss my friends, but yeah; we've gotta move on sometimes.
Even if they probably don't miss me for my arrogance. Fail, Jane. Fail.

After 6 years of being in KDU, I guess I just got tired. I was pretty much in a mess; my marks were going down under, and my social life was going down. I just thought, 'Hey, if I moved into a new school, I'd have more new people to meet, new friends, a new start.'

Yes, I do realize it sounds super cliché, like out of a High School Musical movie, but it's true. I did meet a load of new people. I remember the first day being lost, being left out etc; but after that, it's all fine. I'm still a little antisocial now; I barely talk to people when they don't talk to me, unless if it's important/if it's an awkward moment. Also, I remembered having a hard time trying to understand the angmoh teachers' accents. I kept saying 'Sorry?' 'Excuse me?' 'Huh?'. Not really a good first impression. Also, you'd have to address teachers by 'Miss', 'Sir', 'Madam', etc. You don't go 'OI TEACHER'. Yeah, I got scolded for it once. Never attempted to do it again.

I've so far enjoyed my time at Tenby. There's always so much activity; not just sitting your ass down in class the whole day and cramming for exams. It's more carefree, and it makes me exercise HAHAHAHA not funny but it's true. According to dad, 'Going to school is much better than you sitting your butt down on the computer 24/7.'

Yeah, thanks dad. You support me oh-so-much.

Anyhow, I'd prefer international schools than others all the way. The fees are pretty outrageous sometimes, but hey; it's an international school. You learn a different syllabus; you walk around the school like a campus, and people are just more awesome there. I would say more, but hey. This post is like the most boringest ass post in the whole world. It's a block of text.

In conclusion, so far I like Tenby best. If you say that it's biased, well, you'd have to face it. It is a pretty good school. Aside from all the drama.

New Year's Resolutions

Since it's New Year's Eve today, why not create a post? Yeah, good idea, Jane! And you can do what everyone else is doing/probably going to do/will do - a New Year's Resolution(s) post!

What are my NYR (yes I abbreviated it so I don't have to type the whole damn thing)?

First and foremost..

LOSE (even more) WEIGHT!

This has been my NYR since forever, I'm telling you.

I am making progress. I'm not as stubby as last time, although I am still kinda stubby.

Still, making progress! That's a good thing!

Get a life.

Still working on it.

Wait, this has been my NYR too since forever. FM(nonexistent)L.

Actually study, not put the book in front of me then the laptop in front of the book.

Yes, unfortunately, this has happened to me a little too many times.

Not really a good thing. I'd flip a few pages then go on Facebook to play Restaurant City or someshit. I have Checkpoint exams to take! FML even more!

Well, I guess that's pretty much it.

I have shitty NYRs. It's almost always the same each year.

To my (also nonexistent) readers (who probably aren't going to comment), what are your New Year's Resolutions?

I always think I'm right.

That makes me a shitty person. Really.
I've been born with my dad's genes - a person who loves to fight until they get the prize.
Not as in physically of course, but verbally.

I always get into arguments with my dad, and neither of us will give up until one of us exclaim 'Whatever lah!'

Then the other would go 'See? Whatever again! That means I'm right!'

Etc etc, argument starts again.

I always like to be the leader, even if I'm usually the lazy type. I like to direct people to their jobs, instead of them lingering around like blank-faced retards. If you're gonna work in a group, do your job.

I feel extremely annoyed if someone says I'm wrong, because my arrogance usually makes me think that I'm always right.

This is no good, especially if you put me in groups; because different minds have different opinions. Well, my mind doesn't usually go with the group - it's usually something more extraordinary rather than plain and simple. Unless if I'm too lazy to do the work, which would probably end up like some unicorn crapped rainbows on it. Eg. Math projects. Good projects usually end up me doing everything, my vision. Even if people try to help, I'd have to keep a close eye because I don't want them to spoil the whole soup. I try not to do that as much as I can, but my mind just doesn't respond.

Yes, I'm that arrogant, thank you very much.

Also, sorry to the people who have done projects with me, lololol.

Thinking yourself as a person who is always right is not that much of a good thing, because you get super perasan (show-off) and you piss people off. Yep, I piss people off a load of times, especially my dad.

Anyhow, I'm still trying to find a way to stop this 'I-think-I'm-always-right' problem. *facepalm*

Other than my 'I.T.I.A.R.' problem, I always think I'm better than everyone else.

I know that people are way better than me, yet my mind tricks me into saying, 'Oh hey, pfft. I can do better than that.'

I really need to do something about myself. *facepalm again*

Christmas

I told my mom I wanted to borrow her credit card for Christmas to buy something online, since I got nothing for Christmas from anyone.

Guess what she got me?

Yeah. Merry Christmas to you too, mom.

Looking at yourself

Don't you ever wonder why your friends gossip about you?
Your mom insults you all the time?

Well, you have to look at yourself.
Looking at yourself helps a lot. Not in the physical way eg. a mirror, but mentally.
Are you a type of person who is kind? Loving? Friendly?
You might think of those qualities for yourself, but other people definitely don't think so.

Self-understanding is a good way to improve yourself, so you can remind yourself what to do and what not to do.

I think of myself as a person who

a) likes to show off.
My philosophy? Whatever you buy, surely must show off one mah.
If not buy for what?

b) gives advice, but fails to follow it myself.

Yeah. I love to give advice, cheer people up; but if I face the same problem, I'd just break down and cry. Yeah. Life sucks.

c) gives up easily.

Yeah, like the 'awesome' posts of my trips that I was going to make.

d) gets angry easily.

But that's kinda common right? RIGHT? RIGHT?! FFFFUUUU-

e) forgets easily.

So if you have me as a friend and promise something/tell me a secret, I will probably forget it so ehhh sorry.

f) is shy. Very shy.

I never liked going out to socialize. I would rather stay at home etc (like my previous post go read it wtf)

g) can get ticked off when you insult my friends, family or even myself.

I will punch your face if you do insult my friends or family, kthx.

There's more about myself to write here, but I don't want to be overly perasan (show-off) and post my good qualities here. It's Christmas, damnit. I should be frolicking in the nonexistent snow the doesn't exist in my country, and opening my nonexistent presents from my existing parents who probably don't really bother about Christmas because they don't really celebrate Christmas and they're asian.

*gasp*

Anyway, my point is, when people see the bad things about you, there's always a chance to change yourself and your bad points. You could help yourself by writing down your bad points (doesn't work if you're too show-off because you think you're perfect) and thinking through, but who has the time for that?

Just use your brain to think what's right and what's wrong for yourself and everyone else.

That's what your brain is for. To think.

Also I think my posts are getting shorter and shorter.

But um, okay.. Merry Christmas, everyone; and have a happy new year!

To be a good/awesome blogger

You have to have a lot of good qualities.

That involves:

1. Being social/sociable.

I'm not a social person, so I don't think I'm an awesome blogger.
I'd rather stay at home and watch TV/surf the web than go out to party.

I think it's just awkward when nobody knows you and you're in a place with tons of people. Me = loner.
I don't talk to people if they don't talk to me. True story.

2. Good grammar.

Um, I guess my english is fine the way it is. It's easy and understandable.
I don't use complicated words that much.. 'cause my mind dictionary doesn't store too many complicated words. lolfail.


3. A sense of humor.

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work?

A stick! *ba-dum psha!*



I think I hear crickets.

4. Everyday adventures.

My life isn't so productive.
I usually just stay at home, eat, sleep, watch TV, muck around.

5. Post blog entries on time.

I give up. This post was just an excuse to keep the blog updated 'cause I'm procrastinating for the London, Paris and Korea posts.

I'm still 3/10 through the post. FSLDKSMDLKWEWEK

I'm sorry. I have failed you all.
