Rejection: Opinions?

Hi, welcome to Monday. Welcome to hell.

For most of us, Monday spells out back-to-school/work. And as a result, we all get the thing known as Monday blues. Suck it up. You'll be enduring it till you are at least 65.

Despite promises to myself, I have yet to think up of a concept for my Digital Imaging assignment. I believe that I'll have to find something really interesting to photograph to get good grades. Any good ideas, anyone? 

The other day, Zack had this really interesting Facebook profile message, which is common, but quite true. "The most hated word of the dictionary: no". 

I am inclined to agree to that statement. The word "no" often is linked to rejection, or turning down of requests. I myself have been hurt countless times by this very word, and might have hurt countless people by this very word as well.

Thing is, rejection is never sweet. No matter how much you "get used" to it, it's always painful, bitter and heartbreaking. My past jobs had been 1) A door-to-door surveyor 2) SIM card salesman. All these job, especially the surveyor one, had involved me getting brutally rejected, turned down and door slammed at some point of time. It hurts a lot, but I had to swallow my pride and get my job done.

Case study: I had been commissioned by Organiser to invite people for events. Person A told me "Nope.", Person B doesn't reply, Person C goes "Yes, yes, yes" all the way and "No" at the last minute. 

If this happens, how would you feel? I felt really hurt. At least, try to consider my feelings. I had looked forward to seeing everyone, hope was given, but in the end, disappointment awaits. 

And that is why I decide not to help to be someone who gives out invitations. From now on, I shall quietly wait for invitations. At least I won't get hurt.

I myself had been guilty for the same sin, and I blame myself for disappointing people. I now know how they feel. >_<

P.S.: I am not blaming anybody in particular. It's because I treat you people as REALLY REALLY GREAT friends that I felt so disappointed. :/ Sorry if it accidentally offends you. I can be dense sometimes.

My two cents worth of comments. Gonna go sleep early. Lab test tomorrow.

Ciao, folks. :]

R.I.P. ; Noob NTSS

Today, on my way to school in the morning, a very ghastly scene greeted me. A cat, with its brains busted out of its skull, and had its carcass dragged by unknown forces, laid on the tar road while I was walking to the bus stop. Its blood surrounded a huge portion of the road.

I am no Ee Seuu or Nadiah, but hey, I think that basic love for animals should at least be there. This is a case of murder. No, don't tell me that as long as it is not human, the driver IS guilty.

This is clearly a case of reckless driving and manslaughter (catslaughter, meow?). The driver who did it is worse than a beast. Because he clearly didn't feel remorse. He just wants to shirk responsibility.

The least he could have done was call a hotline and gotten someone to give the cat a peaceful cremation/burial. But no... he had to leave it there, for OTHER DRIVERS to run their cars through the carcass and let it be dragged again and again across the road. Even a cat deserves respect people.

For all we know, the cat might have been saved if the driver took action. He didn't and a life departed us all. What a heartless driver.

R.I.P., cat. May God bless your soul.

And as expected, another incident concerning my secondary school surfaced on STOMP.

For more info: Teacher in class, yet student whacks and whacks classmate's head with broomstick

I've always hated New Town. Through my four years in there, I'm like the boy in the picture who gets hit by the broomsticks. It's bullies like those that never give some of us a peaceful way to live our lives.

My old school's discipline has never been top notch. In a place like that, some people could never be able to live through a nice four years with plenty of good memories. That school should be closed down, period.

I wouldn't have put it past myself to survive secondary school if not for a few true friends and kind souls who supported me through the 4 years. Heck, I even contemplated suicide while in Secondary School before (who hasn't? You're lying if you say no.) due to the hardship certain people (who I am tempted to name and disgrace and step on) has inflicted on me.

I will laugh at the person, whom I guess will be publicly caned this week by our ex-discipline master, John Lim. The bullies deserve it.

Like I said, New Town is full of crap. It's 95% bullshit and 5% good things.

Poly is much better. Thank God for the friends I have now. =)

Enough about my thoughts, folks. It's time to get some sleep. Ciao.

God Eater

Today, I shall do you PSP players a service and recommend a great game to you guys: God Eater.

I've been playing it and really? I'm getting a little hooked to it. I'll blame Ern and Garry for it, haha. They were like popping their eyes out and saying PLAY GOD EATER. Jokes aside, this game is especially fun in multi-player mode with your khakis. So just go play it already. You're already salivating, aren't you?

Like fantasy? Monster Hunter? This is the game for you. I've never touched Monster Hunter (I know! Right?), but this game is all about getting potions and upgrading your weapons, whacking and shooting at giant monsters, so it's also sort of like Power Rangers, just without so much latex and giant robots, and the girls look so much hotter. You know you want it. Say yes.

GOD EATER AWESUMZZZ OPENING THEME

The opening theme and ending theme sung by the Chinese-Tibetan singer, alan, is awesome. I demand you guys to listen to this song, because I said so. Don't want to? Ask me nicely to ask you nicely to watch it

Anytime you guys want to play multi-player with us guys, feel free to ask. I'm having trouble clearing rank 4 cos I'm a noob at this game. ><

Troubles, burdens, worries and... sometimes, a little smile that makes the previous looks dumb. :)

Talking about troubles and stuff. Week 14 is PLC lab test, Week 16 is PLC common test 2 and GEMs collage submission date. No ideas yet for the GEMs assignment. It's just a major bore to me anyway, that GEMs. -.- PLC mini project and PED PBL... So many assignments. Can I cope? Let's try to do my best. ><

I should set aside next week and chiong for the assignments. Anwar say not meeting for the coming week for YGO, so can set aside more time. Need to prioritize my work too, or it'll really pile up and kill me all at the same time.

So, my self planned schedule for this week:
Monday evening: GEMs assignment
Tue evening: PED?
Wednesday morning - noon: PLC mini-project
Thursday evening: PLC mini-project
Friday evening: A bit of relaxation

Now all I have to do is follow it.

BTW, saw this really funny picture. Feel like I have to share it with you guys.

If you guys don't get it, you're either too innocent, or naive. If you can get it... well, then you're about as evil, or worse than me. xD

Well, I'll do my promised "column writer post" someday. Hopefully it'll be about no procrastinating ahaha. 

Ciao.

Thoughts

Been kinda thinking, thinking and thinking about stuff recently. Ern would probably say : "Why think so much? Make your hair grow whiter only." Can't help it, I guess. It's in the blood.

Monday lessons are... boring. I dunno. Maybe it's because of the fact that, well, it is Monday. Hate my GEMs. It's a waste of time.

Saturday went down to see Mad cosplay as Yui from K-ON. She was awesome. Too bad I forgot to take a picture with her. She looked great.

Been reading blogposts around, and I dunno, I feel like my posts are dull? Haha. People like Garry, is like, wow, always having interesting blogposts. Maybe I should adopt his "column writer" style and write some thoughts of random subjects sometimes. He's pretty awesome when it comes to stuff like that.

I need more colour in my life. Been too dull and too systematic easily. Where is the me of old who would break through that sort of dull process? Geez, I thought I like to make life interesting. Need to find some new stuff to do.

Met up with the YGO gang and played cards with them. It turned sorta crazy, haha, when we win in the most interesting of ways. Unexpected stuff blows people's minds away.

Realise that I've been spamming God Eater on PSP recently. That game is like damn shiok sia haha. Garry and Ern like influence me now become like some junkie.

K la, enough about me. Tell me something about YOU. My chatbox is getting very rusty. Barely anyone's using it.

Ciao. ;)

2/7/2010 Legend of Ip Man outing!

Basically, we went to watch the movie today at GV Tiong Bahru, Legend of Ip Man. It was an okay movie, cool and all. Culprits of the day? Ern, Steve, Haikal, Zack, Heng Khit, Cheryn and of course, yours truly. =)

^Thanks to Jonathan Soon for taking the picture!

Hung out after the movie playing cards at BK, haha. Played Truth or Dare and we had some funny stuff happened. :P

And wosh! We got this lucky draw card we just decided to go try out for fun. Turns out we actually "accidentally" won a cruise for two on a cruise! Not bad right! Today productive! 

^People who tapped this thing out: Zack, Cheryn and me

It was fun, gang. Let's hang out next time again. =)

Ciao, all! ^_^V

Duty: Day 2

Shagged. The only word that can run through my tired brain right now. I think it's due to my lack of sleep and duty. :/

Second day of duty was fine. Quota barely reached today, but I was disappointed with my own performance because I did better yesterday. Hung out with Ben and his Regent Sec juniors and chatted after duty, then took train with them and went home. Guys at duty, you were awesome. =)

I want to be like Uncle Francis, haha. That confidence, initiative, charisma and speaking skills. I've got a lot to learn from him, and a long way to go before becoming someone like him. ><

CSW presentation today went fine. Partnered with Mon.

Tomorrow got movie outing, but like didn't manage to get much people, because most of them can't make it. Geez, I think I suck at organising outings like this. Good thing got Cheryn to help me... again. She's a great friend, that girl. =] Hope tomorrow's outing goes well. ><

I think I'm going to go to bed... Air-con spoilt. Sian, hope I can fall asleep tonight, my room's super warm... Tomorrow's Friday, finally.
