suddenly, about marriage

Tuesday, March 26, 2013 || 12:09 AM || 0 comments ||

This may come as a weird topic, coming from me. No no I am not getting married, I am just posting this to show my concerns on the said topic....MARRIAGE!

Some of my friends got married....my sister got married...my cousin got married. I've been observing all these people that got married, from my point of view, some of them still have no idea what to do after they got married. Like, "Yay, I am married now wohoo!! I own her now yeah!!....so what's next?". Yes, my concern are the guys, not the ladies, since guys will be the head of the family, so yea, they sure have a lot of work to do after marriage.

This post might butthurt some married couples, but, sooner or later, someone should tell them about this anyway. So yea, continue at your own risk.

Firstly, to get married, there are 2 starting points that can affect the flow of your marriage, in a good way of course (if the plan goes well) :

Secure everything before you get married; house, furniture, car, and everything necessary for you and your future wife to live.

Secure everything on the go, but, with a plan. The plan of course, requires money...and a functioning brain.

For the first point, it is considered the most convenient way to start your new life with your wife. This is to ensure that, after you got married, there will be no need to scratch your head on how to get all the stuffs. To put it in easier way, just "Take her, and go".

As for the second point, yes of course, money is the main point for the plan to work. But the benefits in this is that, you and your wife can share ideas on how to start the new life; what kind of house, where to live, etc. Again, money is the main factor, make sure you are awesome, financially, before going for this method, so that whatever you want, you can just grab it.

Still, many of these people I've seen that got married, they always go for the 2nd starting point; Secure everything on the go, but the thing is, they are weak, financially. So, when this happens, it will lead to the most common survival instinct used by these people; stay at in-law's or own parents' house.

Of course they will welcome you for staying at their house, but how long will it last?

By staying in their home, yes you are still their child, but the privileges are not the same anymore because now, you are staying as a guest, yes I repeat, a guest. Which means, to stay there, you have to behave like a guest, in other words, maintain good behavior, since they are the one's who is helping you right now, you have no choice. Well, these are what I meant by "good behavior" :

If you want to eat/ cook something, try and use your own supplies as much as possible.

Since you are staying there, why don't you contribute some money for the bills? Seriously, without you staying there, their bills should reduced, not the other way around.

Respect your parents even more now, by this I meant, do not argue whenever things didn't go as you want (in the house). For example like, when there are no food supplies, when they ask you to do some cleaning but you don't feel like doing it, etc.

Try to find a house as soon as possible. Once you get one, get out of their house. The sooner you leave the house, the better. This is to make sure their views towards you will not turn negative.

All these points comes from my own experience. No I am not married yet lol, what I meant is from observing some of the married couples I managed to get my eyes on. No, not stalking strangers, I meant, the ones that are close to me...ok let us continue.

Okay, not just guys, there are some advice for the girls as well. We have to admit, there are some girls that are really spoiled, like really really spoiled, and has no idea that she's already married and still acting like a brat. I've seen this kind of person, like, LIVE. These are some of the shits happened that I still happen to remember:

The mother cooked some dish (the daughter and the son in law are off to work and will be home late.). Of course, the whole family ate, the amount of rice left is really low. Once the daughter got back, she cooked ANOTHER dish especially for her husband, which then she happens to find out the rice is not enough. She went nuts, blaming her mom for everything, saying things like "Why didn't you tell me this??! Now how is HE going to eat with no rice?!?!", like as if it's her mom's responsibility now to take care of her husband as well. Not to mention the dish she cooked, is from her mom's supplies...which she never contribute back after using. Also, who cooks a dish without checking the rice first....genius.

The mother and father packed her daughter's stuff nicely inside a box, so she can take it back to her new house. The daughter then found out her stuffs got packed, and starts to go nuts again. Saying stuff like, "Why are you doing this to me?! You really want me to get out izzit?! You just don't want me here anymore huh?!", and then later, the daughter was like refuse to talk to her parents and all, acting like a spoiled child. First of all, YOU ARE MARRIED, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD GET OUT. It is good enough for her parents to provide a temporary place to stay, and even more, they helped packing stuffs for her, which she should be the one to do it. If I am not mistaken, her parents never once said anything similar to "get out".

These 2 stories are the only ones that I can remember clearly. But yea, this is the kind of person that needs a smack in the face once a while ya know. Someone should really knock the sense out of them sooner or later....or they can just read this blog post. Please please and please respect your parents, especially when they are being nice to you and all. Please do not abuse their hospitality, with you staying at their place, they have suffered enough already, please do not add more salt to their wounds by being such a bitch and all.

Back to the guys. Lastly, these are some final tips to make your life easier once you got married. Some of it actually comes from common sense:

Be matured. Duh.

Maintain good relationship with in-laws. Refer back to the list I made on "good behavior living in parents' house".

If you went for option 2; Secure everything on the go, make sure you maintain your finance wisely. Never buy anything useless which can affect you from buying the necessary stuffs like house, furniture, etc. Once you have the necessary stuffs, then you can spend on the useless stuffs, which you must spend wisely as well, so you won't end up eating instant noodles everyday.

.....that's all I guess?

Sorry for the long post. Well, I do admit that this blog post seems like a newbie's view on marriage, but trust me, most of them still need someone to tell them all this. If you think life after marriage is difficult, guess what, that means you are still not ready for it, in other words, DON'T GET MARRIED. All you need is love? Bullshit. You need love and money! If love can feed you and give you shelter, then why not, just stick to love then.Remember, this ain't wonderland.

.....and I still have no Idea why I post this shit which has nothing to do with me......oh well.

Being Myself

Tuesday, July 3, 2012 || 3:50 AM || 0 comments ||

Should I just show it? Or hide it.....

Changes, I can see that everywhere. Almost all the people I know have changed. Some changed to a better person...and some don't. Should I change too? Should I not be myself and become somebody else instead?

Truthfully, being myself is not so bad. I am unlike those Otaku kind of guy, I am perfectly normal...well...normal enough. I am not that "Cool" guy but I can engage in normal conversation and socialize with others when needed. What I am lacking now is a better socializing skills (better, to some people)....such as being super funny and act crazy enough to grab people's attention. I can't do that, that's just not my style. I did try, failed badly.

University life changes people, including me in some ways. Some of my friends changed too, most of them became a better person, as for the others....maybe they took a wrong turn?

During my early days as a university student, I do want to show everyone I have changed, which I did. Whenever I am with others, especially my high school friends, I will start to show my "changed" version. After a while, I get tired of it, not being myself is just a waste of time. Luckily I realized that early enough before being labelled as a douche or anything related...

Now, I am being myself all the way, proudly. Still, someone I know didn't survive the "University Changes". During high school, he was like a normal kid and not so douchy (or douchey?). Once started university.....there he goes. Starts showing he has contacts with chicks, showing pictures of himself with other chicks, starts to act like he is cool and awesome whenever we hang out, using sarcasm level DOUCHE BAG, and so on.....you get the idea.

From his actions, desperate might be the right word for him. He wants us to know he has changed, he can talk to girls now, he can socialize now, dafuq TAKE A FUCKIN CHILL PILL DUDE! He even went as far as calling me "Forever alone", just because I wasn't being like him, ya know, showing picture of myself with chicks and all. LOL what a noob...

As for this other dude I know, he is a dick by default, but he hides his dicky-ness with a fake personality; being a crazy, funny, happy fun fun dude. His fake personality worked, he has lots of friends, he can easily talk and make friends with others, a fun dude to hang out with, good for him. I was fooled by his fake-ness, but after hanging out with him for quite some time, his true self was shown to me, and I must say, I am disappoint.

I did say to myself, "maybe I should learn from him, be like him, so I can be moar awesome", but naahhh, later I found out being myself is waaay awesome than that crap.

Even though both of them are kinda fucked up, they are still considered as friends to me. We still hang out and all, I will just act cool and let they be whoever or whatever they want to, nobody's perfect anyway.

Well, we can change, it's good. But make sure those changes still refers to your original characteristics...in other words, just an upgraded version of you, but not a totally different version of you.

Video Games Live 2012

Friday, June 1, 2012 || 5:23 AM || 0 comments ||

Thanks again Syazwan for the complimentary tickets XD

My budget for VGL 2012 was kinda affected at first because of the Nintendo 64 I just bought. Took me quite a while to make up my mind whether I should go for VGL or not. In the end, I chose "fuq this shit". Luckily Syazwan called and told me he has 2 complimentary tickets and he can spare one for me! RM138 saved wohoo!

As time flies, finally the day for VGL 2012 arrived. But unfortunately, Syazwan called and told me he couldn't join for VGL 2012. The tickets are still ON, but I had to find someone else to join me for the show instead.

First person I thought of was my room mate, so I asked him to join me. He said he was super free that day and will be able to join me for VGL.......but few minutes later, called me and told me he couldn't join.

Then, I asked my cousin to join me, in the phone he was like "hmm...u huh....yea...sure...I'll join...yeah...". But again, few minutes later, "......oh shit, sorry dude, can't join, hafta go sumewhere.".

I almost gave up and thinking of going there alone. Last try, I asked my other cousin to join me, luckily she was free the whole day and able to join me.

Awesome performance is AWESOME

So now I will be commenting about VGL 2012. Nobody cares, I know, still gonna do it.

First of all, from where I was seated (J-9), maybe just me, but the lighting was crazy, not in a good way for me. It can get really bright at times, although I am okay with bright lights, most of the time it felt like the lights were pointed straight into my eyes. It was kinda annoying, especially when it starts to do the blinking effects. Fortunately, the annoyance didn't occur that often, but still, it was annoying.

Personally I prefer a bigger venue when it comes to orchestra, like last time when they performed in one of the halls in KLCC. But still, despite the hall in Istana Budaya being smaller, the performance was still enjoyable.

Overall, it was a nice experience. Tommy really did a good job in keeping the audience entertained throughout the performance, and same goes to Laura for her strong and awesome performance; my favourite part is when she sang Snake Eater.

Here are the rest of the pictures taken during VGL 2012:

Faceless lol

Tommy and Laura performing songs from Chrono Trigger

Intermission

Flute Link

Me and Laura Intravia...

... Norihiko Hibino....

...the conductor, Emmanuel Fratianni...

...and finally, Tommy Tallarico

I hope there will be another VGL next year in Malaysia! I will surely go!

My first Nintendo 64....and the year is 2012

My childhood dream...finally....*sob*

I remember when I was a kid, I tried my neighbor's Nintendo 64 and I was like super interested in it. During that time, all I had was Sega Mega drive 2 (or Genesis) and I was still enjoying it that time. But in the end, I jumped straight to Playstation..leaving poor Nintendo 64 behind.

Now, 2012, finally I get to buy it for myself.

I was checking out this one store with my mom....if first I was like "when are we going to leave this place". That place do sell electronic stuffs too, so I went to that section to check all the stuffs out; that's how I found the Nintendo 64. Alone, waiting for someone to buy it.

Took me quite a while to decide whether I should buy it or not...since I am saving my money for Video Games Live 2012. Luckily my mom came to the rescue, she said she could lend me da moneh first and I quickly went back to where za Nintendo 64 is waiting.

Most of the stuffs in the store, what you see is what you'll get. In my case, only the console was shown in the display, no controllers and other shits. The price says RM1XX, I kinda hesitated because I don't have any Nintendo 64 games to play with even if I bought the console. Also, what if it comes with no controllers?? That will be even shittier!

Asked the guy there, luckily it comes with 2 controllers. Even better, it comes with 12 games as well!

The games:

From top, left to right:

Beetle Adventure Racing
Diddy Kong Racing
GoldenEye 007
Pokemon Stadium
Fighters' Destiny
Doom 64
Castlevania
Super Mario 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Donkey Kong 64
The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time
Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Well, now I can finally play Zelda Ocarina of Time in za maffakin Nintendo 64 instead of using emulators! Aww yeah!

p/s : That place I mentioned, they sell second hand stuffs.....super thanks to that someone who sold his/her Nintendo to that place so I can buy it...you are so awesome.

What I love about Ixora Apartment, Melaka

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 || 9:16 AM || 1 comments ||

View of Ixora from MMU

I've been staying here in Ixora Apartment, in the same room, same unit, since the first time I set foot in MMU, which is on 2009. The building is built on higher ground, which makes it the tallest building here in Bukit Beruang, it can even become a landmark because you can see it from anywhere lol. But still, just because it looks awesome doesn't mean it is THAT awesome right?

Recently I just found out that my unit has a owner. I thought we, the tenants, ARE the owner lol, but nope. I was informed that the owner wants us to move out from his/her unit since he/she wants it back for unknown reason. Also, I was informed too that we will be moving out to a new unit just beside our current one, awesome I guess? Maybe I should move out instead?

What's been bugging me about Ixora since the very beginning is that.....THE INTERNET SUX!! The free internet, which I doubt it's free to begin with, will provide you only 20-30Kbps of speed and you will rarely get to the top speed (most of the time it is SUPER SLOW). Not just that, you can't play online games with it and also it can't multitasking, by that I mean you can't do multiple downloads or load 2 pages at the same time. Because of this, students will resort to fixing themselves da STREAMYX!....which is not really an effective solution...

You can only install 1Mbps Streamyx here in Ixora, yeap no kidding, 1 FUQIN Mbps ONLY! All other apartments doesn't have this problem, but why must Ixora?? THE AWESOME, TALLEST, IXORA?? It's okay if the 1Mbps is just for yourself....but imagine sharing it with other housemates. Yeap, sometimes the speed became super slow even a dial-up can be considered faster.

The rent is high, but with the shitty Internet, I find it kinda not worth it...

But still, despite the shitty Internet, honestly Ixora is a nice place to stay. Here are the reasons why :

1. It is just beside MMU (around 1 minute walking distance)

For a procrastinator like me, this is super useful. Instead of being a good student and head to class 30 minutes earlier, I can choose to head out 5-10 minutes earlier instead and still able to attend the class before it starts.

2. Shops are nearby, lots of em

This is really convenient for me since all the useful shops are reachable whenever I want to....although sometimes I'll just go by car lol.

3. Amazing balcony view and awesome breeze

Since I am living in 11th floor, the view at the balcony is amazing especially in the morning. Also, when it's raining, once the wind enters the house....*orgasm*. Honestly, this is the main reason why I feel reluctant to move out from Ixora. Since my student life can be stressful sometimes, this is the only thing that can calm me down. I don't think other apartments have this shit.....since they are not tall enough lol.

--------

Well, I guess that's all about Ixora. I am considering moving out to another apartment which is just beside Ixora. Although the view from the balcony is not as nice as Ixora, the facilities are kinda nice though. Still considering....but deep inside, I kinda don't wanna move out lol. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes.

food i am eating, as a student

Sunday, April 22, 2012 || 5:03 AM || 0 comments ||

Living alone, far away from parents. No more unlimited food works, no more unlimited car fuel works. Everything that involves moneh must be carefully planned before executed. Yeap, that's my life as a university student here in MMU melaka.

Unlike other students with awesome allowance, my family is considered average, same goes for my allowance which means once I overspent, I am fucked. Overspending is really a big deal for me since I am super bad in managing my money; I suck at handling temptations.

So, whenever I realize my money is in "danger zone", I will start to focus more on my food supplies. Instead of buying take aways, I will just buy things that can be kept and will last for few days such as eggs, instant noodles, cookies, etc.

List of food I would eat during "danger zone" :

1. Mee Sedaap + Fried Egg (fail sunny side up)

Mee Sedaap is one of my favourite instant noodle besides Maggi curry. I love Mee Sedaap because of how awesome it can be once eaten together with fried egg. Although it is not a healthy food to be eaten that often due to the MSGs, still, it is fulfilling and....I dunno what else I can say about it. It is simply AWESOME!

2. Blueberry Cream-O Cookies

I just found out about this blueberry Cream-O quite recently. I can't believe I didn't know such awesome thing exists!! I know I know Oreo is awesome.....well, I guess Oreo just found itself a rival hohoho! Try this out guyz, it's awesome!

3. Super simple scramble eggs + bread + chilli sauce

(No picture, use imagination lol)

Whenever I am out of Mee Sedaap, I will eat this instead. A really simple meal but super satisfying. But still, this meal won't work for long term. After 2 or 3 times...the awesomeness won't work anymore...

4. FUQ THIS SHIT! IT'S GO TIME!

This is what happens when my temptation reaches level over 9000 :

4 Chicken Mc Muffins (McDonald's Breakfast)

3 Boxes of Regular Pizza (1 box finished)

Hot Cakes + Big Breakfast + 4 Chicken Mc Muffins (McDonald's Breakfast)

And of course all the meals won't feel complete without

ORANGE FANTA!! AWW YEAH BEBEH!!

OMG New layout!! OMG my wish list came true!

Saturday, March 31, 2012 || 1:28 PM || 0 comments ||

Yea man, it has been kinda super long since I last posted anything (only 2 months...). After using the old, lame layout for soo long...finally decided to change it. As you can see, I've changed only the header and the overall colours of the layout, in other words....NO DIFFERENCE! Which also means, it is still as lame as before lol. Well at least I have added some new buttons and changed the font.

Also, in one of my older posts, I made a wish list of 10 stuffs that I want pretty bad. Well, surprisingly...out of 10, I have accomplished 5 ! Can't believe it yo! Looks like all the hard feelings and patience finally payed off in the end.

Well, here are the stuffs that I have accomplished so far :

PSP-1000 (Bought it last year, 2011, only for RM100...believe it)
