Pyrrhonism

I think I undermine myself a little too much.

I give myself too little credit than I deserve.

To an extent that it is becoming annoying. To others, that is.

I always prefer to remain sceptical because I never believe in having expectations beyond your reach. They say fear protects you (and it probably does), but I believe so does scepticism.

When you don't expect, you don't get disappointed. Plain and easy.

Though there probably is a flip side to the statement above, but I digress, cause that would only provide a flaw in my argument and then I wouldn't have much of an argument anymore now, would I?

Anyway, directing you back towards the point of my argument, which actually involves my 2nd assignment for Media Studies. I got an HD. "Sweetness."

But honestly, I am shocked. What is harder to believe is how others can't understand why I'm in disbelief of my result. It's a 2000-word-long essay. Might only have spent a day doing my research. Wrote it in 2 bloody days. Wrote the last 5-700 hundred words in uni on the day it was due. So me feeling iffy is completely justifiable!

Not everyone would agree. My tutor included. Blargh.

So maybe I should accept the fact that I just might be gifted in the Arts.

Hah!

p/s: One of the joys of doing Arts is that you may feel like you're writing bs, but the bs could very well be HD worthy.

Oh...Screw It!

The drain cover of my house was stolen yesterday. And in broad daylight, mind you.

My maid had gone out to buy some stuff, and when she came home, she was shocked to discover this:

She was only away for 20 minutes! Surprisingly, my rottweiler, who is ever so sensitive by the slightest movement, didn't even bark. Pfft. I guess she wasn't meant to be a guard dog.

According to my aunt, a drain cover can fetch for about RM100+. And the stolen ones that are resold only cost RM30. Geez...why didn't I think of selling the drain cover myself? I could have pocketed a cool RM70 if I bought a stolen resold one to replace it. I think I could make a living like that. I buy them cheap and sell them at a profit. Ahhh...life could not have sounded simpler than that.

Screw deciding on doing a second major.

Screw thinking about whether I should carry on doing Arts units.

Screw my degree.

Screw my university education.

Just SCREW IT ALL!!!

Anyway, I blame the oil price hike for the stolen drain cover. So who exactly is still in support of the ridiculous price hike?? I cannot imagine anyone to be, unless you're a government servant, of course.

Nyeh.

J's Monologue

I sat for 2 papers yesterday. And I would say it went...horribly well. Horrible because the papers would have been tough for someone who didn't study, and 'well', like a stroll in the park for someone who did. Since I fall in neither category, i.e. I studied but didn't die studying, therefore, I think 'horribly well' is an apt way of summing it up.

J.

p/s: Yes, it's a really short monologue (such irony) but it's my first. Hence, I would appreciate an exception. Thank you very much.

pp/s: About me being a godmother, I think I've to keep you in suspense till the end of the month. Sorry, but finals is a bitch.

Cheerio.

Quickie

I've realised my few previous entries have been utter bs. Well, it's just unfortunate that the past few months of my life has been nothing but uneventful twists and turns. It also doesn't help that I'm grounded on weekdays. Not only does that leave me with nothing to blog about, but I am forced to scout my garden for caterpillars so I can have something to post here just to keep this place alive.

Anyway, I'm just going to launch into a few bullet points of thoughts that are at the top of my head.

• Firstly, congratulations to my oh-so-brainy smart ass of a cousin who received an offer letter from National University of Singapore (NUS)! His parents are contemplating on whether he should switch over since he is currently studying in Monash (Malaysia). Well, I personally think he should go! How often does Opportunity come knocking on one's door??

• My mother says: "I'm really quite concerned about your weight."

• My mother has put me on a diet starting today. "I bought you yoghurt so you can start dieting." Exact quote, mind you.

• My exam starts this Thursday (5th June) and I've 2 papers on that bloody day! God dammit.

• My exam ends 24th June. God dammit!

• My second semester starts 14th July. GOD DAMMIT!!!

Sigh.

It's back to the books for me.

Later y'all.

• Oh...did I mention that I'm a godmother?! (More on this to come. =D)

Update:

Z replied to my The Very Hungry Caterpillar entry:

*Click here* if you are interested in reading more about the caterpillar I found in my garden. My dear friend Z is an arthropod enthusiast and is thus very knowledgeable in the area of insects, creepy crawlies and whatnot.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Hey Z! I reckoned this post might interest you, so I guess I'll just dedicate it to you. Lol.

Look at what I found in my garden a few days ago...

A caterpillar!

What?! It's not like I get to see one every day in my very own garden! And plus, I don't think I've ever seen one so huge!

Just look at it! Ain't it dainty?

I got to witness a caterpillar munching (It 'munches' right, Z?) off a leaf for the very first time and it's the cutest thing ever! It eats really really fast! But it takes really long breaks in between munches.

It rained for a bit, and when it stopped I came out to check on the caterpillar and found it hanging like that ^.

The caterpillar reminded me of this book:
My favourite book when I was a child. =)

I'm sure everyone read that book when you were all teeny, tiny and whiny!

Anyway, my maid moved it to another plant opposite my house cause it had apparent balded my mum's plant. So I guess I won't get to observe the metamorphosis. Boohoo.

Pretty & pink.

Peace out.

"French Maid" Costume - Malaysian Style

Goddd, what's wrong with the National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia??

'School uniform sexy, says group' read the headline of the article that caught my eye in the newspapers a few days ago.

Seriously??

Anybody turned on??

The white top is, allow me to quote the student association’s vice-president Munirah Bahari, "too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it”.

WTF.

That's just absurd; and a complete low blow to men. But men who actually get turned on by school girls in uniform are just effing sick.

The things people will do/say just to get that few minutes of fame. Does she know no shame? Does she have no pride?

With mentalities like such, achieving Vision 2020 seems beyond us.
