wH the 'Emo' : Next year classes

A topic I couldn't finish explaining before being branded a 'traitor'.

Situation
Three friends and I discussing if we should coordinate next year's class schedule.
They are my groupmates for this semester
  1. 'Mr. Photographer' - an uprising, potential profesional photographer. You should check his work. He has a picture in the Nanyang Chronicle of this issue. Should be coming up with a picture blog soon.
  2. 'Ms. Princess' - seems to be from a prominent group of royalty know as the '7 princesses'
  3. 'Ms. Hair-Player' - has the ability to play with her hair for hours

The Beginning

I asked 'Ms. Princess' about next years class timetable and if she is coordinating it with 'Ms. Hair-Player'. She said there is is a very high possibility. When she repeated the question to me, I was still not certain. Previously, I said maybe I wanted a randomized schedule. I was branded a 'traitor' for considering such an option.

The Complication

I have had roughly the same group members ever since Uni started. Yes, I enjoy working with this group! Yes, we do work efficiently and understand each other! Yes, our working style works for all of us! Yes, I have made good friends with this people!

However, I wonder what is it like to work with other people. Maybe meet some new people. People always say Uni is a place to make friends and I just wonder if i confine myself to this same group for another sem am I missing out on opportunities to meet other people.Probably I could meet other people through activities but I feel that through project work, its the easiest way to know a person for real and also, you don't waste time. You get to interact as well as finish work. Activities sometimes I feel can waste your time.

The Advice

The thing about the Accountancy Course is that projects are crucial. If you have the right group, you can save a lot of time and probably score better. So, trying to join a new group without knowing which group will accept me is risky. It could be very good ( I make new friends that I can click with) or very bad (Use your imagination). 'Mr. Photographer' pointed out that people will arrange their classes with their cliques so that they can have their selected groups. In short, I would probably only be able to join the 'leftovers' and its risky because they must have been left out for a reason.

The Dilemma

Thus, I need more advice on what to do actually. I need more information to be persuaded further. I do want a good project group but I also want to improve my networking. I can't decide whether it is more important to strengthen the bond I have with my current friends so we can become 'Great' friends OR try and make new friends so that in my Uni life, I would have known more people.

The Question

So, what should I do?

  • Try to make my own scedule?
  • or Sychronise with my friend's schedules?

wH the 'Whiner' : Lonely trip back to hall

Today was one hell of a day. (It's a Monday, go figure !) It started to go downhill when I got a 4 out of 10 for my Stats quiz. Then of course the long tutorial was so boring. But the worst part is, MY 'Friends' persuaded me to go and have lunch with them. Apparently, a 'Fair' game of rock-paper-scissors (best of 5 somemore) was an 'unbias' way of determining where to go and eat.Apparently, 'Winner' gets to pick. (naturally, I wanted somewhere a bit nearer to my hall. You know, not TOO near! just the Hall 5 canteen) .

After a long hard battle (very close. slim victory of 3-2), it was decided we would go to the Hall 5 Canteen. OR SO I THOUGHT! On the way there, despite the fact that the bright sun was shining, MY 'Friends' detected some small droplets which they attributed to the 'slightly dark' sky.Again, despite the appearance of the Sun, they predicted, like a Prophet, that it will 100% rain especially when we are walking to HALL 5 and implying 'in a really subtle way' that we will drenched.

I,being the selfless person that I am, agreed that maybe we could go to CAN A despite the fact that I had won the 'unbias' contest 'FAIR & SQUARE'. At first, I felt okay with it because its good to 'give back to the community once in awhile'. My selfless-ness soon wore out when I remembered that I had a huge Stats textbook in my bag and a huge file with all my Stats notes (which by the way, I didn't use which made this trip suck even more). So after lugging this bag that weighs a tonne to Can A (really f**king far place), I had to wait for some time to catch the bus and had to lug the bag all the way back again. By the time I reached my room, I got a headache for lugging all the extra weight on my shoulders.

IT DID NOT RAIN!

wH the 'Emo' : Passion

I have always wondered what I am good at. What are my strengths? Do I have strengths? There always seems to be many other people who are much better than me in everything I do. That is why I always admired people who are at least world class standard in what they do. Some are real while others are fictional.
  • L and Kira (from Death Note)
  • Lelouche (from Code Geass)
  • Many people in life who seems to be able to score really high (first class honours grades) while still maintaing an active participation in curicullum activities as well as as gathering with friends
  • Really good sports/dance/singing/acting people I know
  • Or just people who get the same grades or better than me with minimal effort

I was suppose to be inspired by this people. Ironically, I'm more depressed than ever. These people seem to have so much talent. Something I seem to lack. Why? Why were people born unequal? Where was the road that divided the people to those that were loved and those who were not? Or was there even a divide to begin with? If that is the case, then what is the meaning of life?

I always wanted to think that I there was something only I could do

I used to attribute my lack of strength in any field due to a lack of passion. Until now, there is nothing in life that really moves me too put all my effort for a long period of time. What do I love to do? What is my passion? I always thought that one day, I would find such a thing. No such luck. Then, I thought maybe I have no discipline and give up easily. I don't know. It just seems so pointless.

I once thought that the only thing I could do was study and get good grades. Possibly my only strength so far. However, I realized that my grades aren't that good. It was just a bit above average. I wanted to be good at volleyball, or badminton, or basketball ,or understanding things faster than other people, or able to analyze things in ways that other people never thought of.

I always wanted to think that I there was something only I could do

wH the 'Obssesive' : Ending a conversation

I have a few habits apparently when talking to people on the phone. This was pointed out to me by a 'Ms. Nice' after a few conversations on the phone. The one thing that I can't get over is how I always used this line. This line sparked a long discussion between me and this 'Ms. Nice'.

The 'Line' I use the most to end a conversation is (...wait for it..wait for it..) :

'Sorry for disturbing you/taking up your time. Bye!'

I don't know if its a Malaysian thing,cultural difference thing or just my secondary school friends thing. 'Ms. Nice' implied using this line is just weird. She frequently trys to 'comfort' me by telling me 'not to worry' and that I am not 'disturbing' her.

So here are 'Ms. Nice' points on why I should not used the line:

  • Disturb has a negative connotation
  • And no apology is needed when you just call randomly to have a conversation

I have been 'soul-searching', trying to figure out why do I use this line exactly. and here are the possible reasons.

  • I'm afraid that the person ACTUALLY does not want to talk too long to me but is too nice to say so. (Hmm.. that makes me seem so insecure..)
  • I find it normal. Back Home, some of my friends say 'haha,sry to kacau ! ciaoz'. Kacau means disturb and it is just a way of ending the conversation. It's not an actual apology. It's like 'Excuse me!'
  • It could also be a way for showing appreciation that your willing to use your time to converse with me. I just find it hard to say 'Thank you for using your time to speak with me!' to end the conversation. Its TOO WEIRD!

I am not exactly sure which reason has the most weightage but I think its the first one because I seem to do it when I'm talking to someone 'NEW' and I'm nervous. (Damn!) Nah! Could be the second because to me its also quite a normal thing. I don't know!

But don't you think its a valid way of ending a conversation or is it just weird?

wH the 'Horny Bastard' : SNSD so hot!

Firstly, let me illustrate my love for my girlfriend (Ms. Chow Shiat Nee) which will never change in anyway possible. I love her with all my heart and this post does not, in anyway possible , mean anything otherwise. She will forever be the most beautiful and gorgeous thing alive.

Anyway, on to the MAIN TOPIC ! Have you guys heard of So Nyeo Shi Dae a.k.a. Girls' Generation a.k.a. SNSD ? Basically, it's this 9 Girl group who sings really cute catchy songs and
does really cute dances to go with it.

Let me tell you of some injustice I have encountered recently presented by a follower of the anti-SNSD cult. This 'Ms. Cranky' was telling me 'how they all look the same' and the only reason anyone looks at them was because of the quantity (meaning 9 Girls) rather than the quality of each unique individual girl. What NERVE !

While I don't deny the NUMBERS do help, can you really not differentiate between this 'hot', 'cutesy' beauties?




YOU SEE!! They don't look the same at all !! Take That, Ms. Cranky! I would say they all are pretty good looking but my favourite is Yuri (should be top row second from the left kua).

Here is the thing! I wouldn't say I have been a life-long fan because truth be told, I just recently knew about them. So, I don't know if their scandalous, have had plastic surgery or whatever! But this is what I do know. They are Hot! They are Great Dancers! They Dress Well (well more if your into the 'cutesy' stuff. Besides, they do wear really tight jeans and really short skirts while dancing. Plus, they're colouful! What more can you want?)! They have great figures! AND......Did i mention they are HOT? (especially Yuri)

Oh Yeah! and some of their songs are nice, quite catchy! Especially 'Gee' ! I like the part where they all take a chance to sing one line. If you listen carefully , you can really tell that each voice is unique.

In conclusion, Ms. Cranky loses 0-1 to me! Plus, if your into the 'Fresh Meat' scene to oogle at young and hot chicks, SNSD is the way to go(their average age is about 18). Why, you ask? Because....

SNSD is so hot!

(warning: probably not for the guys that dig the older,mature type girls genre though)

Welcome to wH-Dimension !

Recently, 3 of my good friends in Singapore (people who make my stay here 'livable') hinted that I have too much 'Good and EXciting Insights to life' that they can't possibly keep track of all this 'wonderful Goodness'. So, they proposed that i start a blog so that they can take the time to slowly digest the 'golden' information without missing even a bit of its 'inspiring details'. Therefore, Ladies and gentlemen, please thank the following people: Hui Min (chief producer), Brandon and Cynthia.

My first post is just to introduce to you some things about my blog.
There are many different aspects of me that I will potray through this 7 people.

wH the 'Horny Bastard' - topics would revovle around with a remote connection to girls or any form of the female gender. My genuine appreciation to 'shallowness!'
wH the 'Emo' - topics would revovle around anything I am thinking or reflecting on. Usually my futile attempt to be 'Deep!'
wH the 'Obsessive' - topics would revovle around anything I can't get over. For example, things people say to me,situations when I'm uncomfortable or observarble irritating behaviour I can't stand.
wH the 'Ecstatic' - topics would revovle around the anything happy I would like to share.
wH the 'Pissed Off' - topics would revovle around really pissing off stuff. Expect much swearing.
wH the 'Whiner' - topics would revolve around ... I think its pretty self-explanatory
wH the 'Philosopher' - Really inspiring stuff man

Warning: I will use alias when describing things that invovles other people than me because I realized some of the readers might not be the intended recipients. If you want to know the real identity of the people in the blog, feel free to approach me and depending on my mood, you might get the answer.

So once get again,

Welcome to wH-Dimension !
