Yeah, I Know It's Like 1/2 Past 3am But Self Induced Insomnia Is Really Getting On Me. One Reason For This Is To Avoid The Torment From The Damn Mosquitoes. Another Is The Temptation Of Garena DotA. And Yeah, I'm Feeling So Darn Tired Now But Can't Fall Asleep As Much As I Want To.
Just Cleared Up The Leftover Peanut Butter As My Midnight Snack Not Too Long Ago And May Resort To Eating Milo Powder Soon Because I Can't Bear To Wait For The Water To Boil And I'm Already Starving.
Goodnight To Y'all And Wish Me Luck In Getting These Few Hours To Pass.

The Mythical Beast
Legend Has It That A Beast Literally Called 'Year' Roamed The Lands Of Ancient China And Would Arrive At Villages At A Certain Set Number Of Days/Weeks/Months To Feed On Livestock, Crops And Even Humans. It Is Believed That This Beast Feared Red Colours And Loud Noises, So The Villagers Wore Red On The Day That The Beast Was Expected To Arrive And Set Loud Firecrackers To Ward It Off. The Passing Of This Beast At A Set Interval Of Days/Weeks/Months Was Then Called The Passing Of The Year As The Beast Was Named.
This Is Supposedly How The Chinese Measured A Year Before Astronomy Was Discovered. The Lions Of Lion Dances Every Chinese New Year Was Said To Resemble This 'Year' Beast; Ferocious And Aggressive. I'd Personally Want To Meet The Beast Face To Face, But We All Know That It's Not Likely To Happen.
My Father Told Me That The Month Before Chinese New Year Is Always Scorching Hot Because The Ancient Chinese Used To Dry Their Chinese Sausages With The Dry Wind And Extremely Hot Weather. Personally I've Got Nothing Against The Weather Anymore; Faced The Same Thing More Than 17 Times In Life Already. What I Do Have A Problem With Is What Comes Because Of The Heat, Especially After Rain: DAMN CURSED MOSQUITOES!!!
Got Ravaged by Those Insects Last Night. Couldn't Get A Decent, Proper Sleep On The Day That I Intended To Sleep And Rise Early. If There's Any Being That Should Be Extinct It Should Be Them Roaches And Mosquitoes. Hell, They Only Exist To Feed Other Insect-Eating Creatures. Why Can't We Have More Useful Insects To Feed Them Instead?
Well, Its The End Of The First Week Of The 'Study' Leave... Got Myself The Traditional Chinese Shirt I Promised Myself. And Studied Only 2 Of The 6 Subjects That I Was Made To Take. Grats To Myself For Even Studying The 2 Subjects. Migraine Due To A Straight Week Of Insufficient Sleep Dying Down Fortunately. 4 Days More And I Can Stuff Myself To The Brim With Dried Meat And To Show Off My New Shirt (And Maybe Make A Fool Of Myself In Front Of My Relatives).
And Yeah. I've Succeeded In Completing The Something Special I Promised You Guys. Please Be Online Around Midnight Of Chinese New Year Or Check Your Email Around That Time. Adieu To Y'all Until Then.

The Legendary Outcast
Yup. It's The Beginning Of The Study Leave. And The Greatest Way To 'Celebrate' It Is With Self Induced Insomnia By Gaming All The Way To 1am When Some Housemates Who Stayed Awake To Study Felt Hungry And The Few Of Us Decided To Go To Sect. 14 For Midnight McD. Crapped A Whole Lot Of Far-Fetched Nonsense Including Plans From Sem Break Vacations All The Way To Our Kampar Accommodation, All The Way Till 4am. Proud And Sick Of Myself. That's Another Day Without Sufficient Sleep.
Slept At Around 5 And Woke Around 6 To Get To The Last Class Of The Semester. Got Back Home That Day And DotA-ed With Housemates All The Way Till 6am Again When We Were Supposed To Go To Kampar Campus For A Tour At 9 That Morning.
What I Think About Kampar? HUGE!!!
And I Mean Like... DAMN FRIGGIN HUGE!!!
Why? Well, Firstly, The Distance From The Nearest Hostel Is Like A 25 Minutes Jog Instead Of My Usual Walk, And Students As Well As Lecturers Drive To Campus, But Cycle From Block To Block Between Classes. And Their Lecture Halls Are Real Lecture Halls; With The Kind Of Seats Like In Stadiums And Cinemas. Even Their Tutorial Classrooms Are Half The Size Of Our PJ 'Lecture Halls'. Canteen's At Least 5 PD Block Canteens (Not To Mention The Price Being Only 70% Of City Price) And Another 3-Storey Library Coming Up Either By The Time We Get There Or A Year After That.
The Catch? Rain Everyday. Had My Share Of Experience With It Yesterday During The Tour, In Which Hindered Explorations Dramatically Due To Large Open Areas There Without Shed. Wonder How Am I To Walk/Cycle There...
Chinese New Year Around The Corner, Y'all. Hope I Can Deliver Something To You Guys Then. Adieu To Y'all And Have An Enjoyable Break

Blood Lust? Blood Thirst?
A Pack Of My Blood Just Went To The National Blood Bank Today, Which Will Either Go Into A Needy Stranger Soon Or Go To The Trash Later.
The Motto Of The 'Campaign' Today Was Rather Interesting: Don't Hesitate, Just Donate.
Things Are Quieting Down This Week; Many Are Either Ditching Classes And Preparing For The Sem2 Finals, With Few Still Attending Classes To Get The Extra 'Tips' And To Not Scar Their Full Attendance For The Semester. As For Me, Well, I Don't Really Know What To Do As Well... All I Know Is That I've Got The Last 5 Stray Beads To Find And Make The Most Of Things Before Chinese New Year; Gonna Lose Lots Of Things After That, Including Many Important Ones, Unfortunately.
Lack of Updates? Sorry Y'all. Lack Of Time, Mood And Motivation That's Predicted To Last Till The End Of The Sem Finals Are To Blame.
Hellish Half Coming After That Too, Most Probably.
Adieu Till Next Time...
P.S: My Poor Com Sux... Pulled Each And Every Setting Of DMC4 To The Lowest (Including Screen Resolution) And It Still Lags T.T

Heavenly Demons
Firstly, Sorry To Y'all If You've Been Looking Forward To Seeing Something New But All You've Got For The Past 12 Days Was The Same Christmas Greeting. Been Cramped Up With 'Things I'm Supposed To Do' After My Christmas Death And Resurrection That I Didn't Have The Time To Actually Do Stuff I Actually Wanted To Do. Well, Time To Catch Up, I Guess. Yeah, Yeah, We All Get The "It's Just A Lame Excuse For Not Managing Your Time Properly" Every Time Cases Like This Occur But Hey, Say What You Want Man; I Don't Give A Crap About What People Say When They Are Those Who Don't Understand The Situation. Knowing What Happened And Actually Facing It Is Like The Difference Between Heaven And Earth, You Know.
And Yes, Sorry For Not Having A New Year Poem For Those Of You Who Were Expecting It. Was Planning To Rush One On New Year's Eve, But Let's Just Say Shit Happened And I Got Such A Big Load Of Freshly Excreted Shit Thrown Onto My Face That I Totally Lost The Mood For It. Let's Not Elaborate Too Much About That, Shall We? Not That I Remember What Exactly Happened Anyway... To Those Who Caught Me In A Bad Mood, Don't Worry About It, Okay? Make A Choice:
1. It's Not Your Fault
2. Apology Accepted
Whichever You Think Fits The Situation, I Think The Whole Matter's Come To A Positive Conclusion.
Let's See...
The Most Happening Event Since Christmas Was Actually The New Year's Countdown. There Was Sociology Presentation, But Personally It Didn't Go As Well As Planned Because I Missed A Touchingly Important/Importantly Touching Point And That My Personal Goals Weren't Achieved. Back To The Countdown. Well, Like Every Year You Have Some Of The Local Artists, Singing Their Own Set Of Songs Or Singing Other Songs By Other Artists That Really Makes Us Pity The Original Singers Or Think That 'Hey, Come On Now. Even I Can Sing Better Than That, Even Though I Don't Sing Well'. Its That Bad; No Exaggeration Here, Believe Me. And The Whole Idea Of The Countdown Would've Sucked If There Wasn't The Chance To Waste Money And Lose Yourself In Childish Madness On Snow Spray Wars With Total Strangers. Missed The Actual Coundown Of "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Happy New Year!" Because We Were Busy Trying To Not Get Trapped And Trampled By The Crowd After The Whole Event Was Over, But The Part That Made The Whole Trip Worth It Was The Fireworks Display. Though Average In The Designs Or Whatever You Call It, Feeling The Explosion So Nearby And Watch Those Really Big Ones Go Off As If You'd Get Caught In The Blast Radius Was Really Different Compared To Just Watching Them On TV. Not Bad I Must Say, My 1st Outdoor New Year Countdown Was. Reached Home Around 2~3 In The Morning And Got Crazy With Some Housemates And DotA-ed Till 6.30 In The Morning.
And It Was All Bore And Crap Till Today.
Tried To Hack Into The Uni's Network And Failed Miserably. Management Presentation Was Personally Disappointing, Although We Got The Best Comments. Realized That Major Parts Of Uni's Admin Or Management Has Changed Dramatically. We'll Start Off With The PD Block Canteen. New Bunch Of Fellas Managing The Economy Rice And Fried Counters, With Many Negative Comments From Fellow Streammates. Found Out That Mr W WAS A FORMER Head Of The Foundation Department As Of 2009.
Realized That Things Did Not Turn Out As Positively As I Expected. Or Rather, Things Did Not Turn Out Positive At All. The Feud/Cold War Or Whatever You Call It Doesn't Seem To Be Dying Down Soon. To Think That I Possibly Started It With A Good Intention That Went A Little Too Far. Moral Of The Story? Don't Bother Trying Something Nice When It's Not Your Nature To Do So. The World Would Laugh At The Thought Of A Devil Saving The World, Save Those Who Think As I Do. They Say Great Minds Think Alike, But When You Actually Think Just A Millimeter Further, Useless Minds Think Alike Too, Don't They?
Another Self-Revelation:
When I'm Supposed To Make A Choice Between Things That Make Little Difference, I Can't Make It. Why? Firstly, Because I Was Brought Up In A Way That Making Choices Was A Waste Of Braincells. Secondly, If I Ever Make The Choice, I'd End Up Losing Everything. It's Like... Putting A Ruby And A Sapphire And An Emerald In Front Of You. You Don't Choose Which You Like, They Stay There For You To Admire. Choose One Of Them And You Don't Get To Even Look At All Three Anymore.
Ah, Yes... The Deceit That Is Like Air To Humans. Can't Live Without It, Life Only Gets Worse With It.
Hellish Side Of This Heaven Coming Soon. Adieu Till Then
