- Equation of Transition -

RULES: People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1. When I write on a new page, before writing the first word, I’ll hover the pen and scribble on the air, just an inch higher from the paper, of how I’ll write the word or what I’ll write. I only realize I do this when a friend point it out to me. I suppose that’s weird.

2. When I talk/discuss a worst case scenario/something ugly that I don’t want 2 happen 2 me (or us), I’ll change the pronoun to the third party. As in, instead of saying “What if I got fired?” I say, “What if she got fired?”. I say “What if something bad happen to them?” instead of ‘us’.

3. Goes without saying, I think talking about things that does not yet take place may jinx it, and I say ‘knock wood’ (or Nauzubillah depending on the situation) when some1 says something bad.

4. I think outcast are amusing individuals I like learning how their thinking differ from most ppl, and I can easily accept misfits. I believe the world will be a better place if we accept ppl the way they are, and if there’s no norm we must conform to. Accept, but there’s no rule saying you have to like every1. no1 likes every1 (I mean, seriously.) But I absolutely abhor any1 who tries TOO hard 2 b different, coz in the end they’re just… freaky. Freaky no likey.

5. I like nicknaming ppl. I used to laugh at weird names I heard (on TV) or read (in the paper) and launched into “If he/she was with me in kindergarten/primary school, I would’ve called him/her (something hilariously funny but annoying)". I’m just good at rhyming words I guess, bet that’s the ugly side of poets you never knew existed >:D I once called a friend Maimun, and it stuck (sorry Mun, but it’s not that bad eh?). Rest assured, I also had my fair share of bad nickname (I hatehaTEHATE it when ppl call me P’zahG–) so after that I only give them sweet nicknames (e.g Niemo, Lynk, Wawee, Doofy) and keep the ‘ugly ones’ in private.

6. I still watch cartoons (channel 60,61,62), especially when I want 2 unwind or when there’s nothing else worth watching We’re all weird in our own ways, so let’s just… tag other ppl and see how weird (they don’t realize) they are heheh. I’m tagging Lynk (once u’r back from ur trip), doofy, kirei-san and kate (who hasn’t update their blogs), shawn (coz I think she tops my list of complex being), and last but not least, other ppl who wanna do this

Cheers, you weirdos!

How many times have you ever wanted one thing, went to look around and wanted the OTHER thing?

e.g when you went to Jusco to look for a new dress, but you happen to get a look on this gorgeous jeans that you HAVE to own :-O Even when it’s waaAAaay over your budget, you’re willing to wait for SALE just for the simple but essential fact that you just, HAVE, to have it.

In my case I had wanted to get a Desktop. I did not really actually wanted it, because I have been doing without one for as long as Architecture School and survived, I just can’t see why I need to own 1 now. However, some1 have been (gently) prodding me 2 get a start on my writing; no more accepting the ‘writer’s block’ excuses. I mean you have to admit, the office atmosphere is not exactly conducive for writing heart-wrenching sci-fi. Let alone poetries or mushy love stories. So I agreed to get a Desktop, since I see it would be useful in the future for my assignments, report writing or whatever else that I require to do.

“Let’s get the most reasonable one. Nothing fancy, just the average desktop that won’t need upgrading twelve months after I use it.”

“As long as we get one, babe.”

So the story goes, we went to our friend Mike (Dell) for quotations but it’s a bit more expensive then the previous offer. So we decided to wait when Mike discounts for CNY sale. I can wait.

So as fate had it, I had the itch (I know, it’s always been me with the itch, never the other half) to look around for Computer shop (when all the while we know that Mike’s the best when it comes to quality and affordable price). The other half just tagged along (now I wonder if the person already knew the outcome of this silly request but play along just for the heck of it).

Guess what we saw?

Small, Powerful & Affordable

Now I just HAD to have it.

BUT.

But what if Mike gave us better quotation? What if I had to wait months before I can purchase this cute-lil-slim-and-sexy-black-stylish-dammit-i-GOT-to-have-it gadget? What if Mike’s price was really low and this one stays high? What if Mike can give us the same spec with lower price? What if Mike can give us better specs with less money?

I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want to do business with Mike anymore. Maybe I will not sleep if I don’t own that sexy little thing. Maybe if I get something else, I will live in despair as my heart will always yearn for him (oh yeah, it’s a him alright!). Maybe. Who knows?  <pix: Me fighting for it with the other half>         

But it’s just a central processing unit (i.e a CPU), isn’t it? My heart should not skip a beat every time I think about it. It’s just one part of a desktop. Nothing special. Seriously.

Seriously? Someone, sedate me.

Hahaha… Nampak sgt xde idea nak buat tajuk best :p

Today, I want to blog about…everything, i.e everything i can.

do you know wuts the difference between i.e and e.g? well ppl usually made the mistake of using them both to state examples, wic is quite common actually, since technically it’s only a difference of 1 letter.

So i’m gonna shed some light to you ignorant abbreviation users! (rejoice!!!)

i.e is used when u want to further explain something. for example a girl say; " i NEVER wanna go there, i.e never in a million years." She’s stressing that she does not wanna go there.

Wic is different if one says; "If you HAVE to go there, you could bring tonnes of things to entertain yourself, e.g mp3 players, ipod, scrabble, wutever, u know…"

Notice the difference?

Maybe it’ll make us remember easier if we understand wut the abbreviation stands for.

i.e. - abbreviation of the Latin words ‘id est’, which mean ‘that is’.

e.g. - abbreviation for the Latin words ‘exempli gratia’, which means ‘for example’.

(sources : www.wikihow.com)

so people, let’s use our i.e and e.g correctly from now on!

next - have i watched ‘Death Note - The Last Name, and wut do i think of it

Have i watched it? yes yes i have

wut do i think of it, hmm… so-so. i still wonder why L had 2 take a drastic step just to convine Soichiro Yagami (Light’s Otosan) to follow his plan, isn’t L the brain behind capturing Kira? Coudn’t he just order Soichiro to execute it? On that part, the comic ending is more believable. Goes to say, L’s ending is not benefiacial to any1 at all. For someone who believes in making sacrifices,to waste his talent jez becoz of Watari’s demise is pointless. If you’ve ever heard anybody says living (not dying) is the best revenge, believe it. It seems petty to me if L’s made that decision simply becoz of Watari’s predicament. Furthermore, who’s to say that Ryuk won’t do wut he did (dropped another Death Note) again?

OF course, being said that one can always argue that there’s probably a few more fish from the sea that L came from (in the manga, there were 2 potential predecessors to succeed L). I jez think it’s lame to see another undeveloped genious going high on sugar and being too smart answering all the questions and riddles, cute and amusing as they may be.

Would i recommend it?

Only if you’ve watched DN 1. otherwise watch something else, save the person next to you the trouble to explain things while trying to actually watch the movie. (no offense to you Dear ;p)

and that sums up our everything. ciao!
