Apparently, I collapsed on my bed yesterday after work and woke up the next day late for work. I remember feeling bloody tired and saying goodbye to Bro #1 and Bro #2, then I don't remember the rest. I woke up on my bed still in my work clothes. Now, I'm feeling sore and still pretty much tired.

The day before, I sort of went mad with Warcraft III multiplayer with Bro #1 and Bro #2. We played DOTA and Moo Moo maps, and for some reason I gotten plenty of annoying heroes which I have never used before, so I took the role of scout and distraction. Doing quite a good job at it too. Time flew from midnight to 7 AM in a flash. O.o!

I am frustrated. I am enfeebled. I am flushed. I am freakin' sick of this allergy streak.

Me not happy. *Hugs sledgehammer* *sniff*

I should not cook when I just woke up. Why? CAUSE I JUST SPLATTED HOT OIL on myself, mainly my face and hand. Now, I have a S-shaped burn an inch from my right eye, and a C-shaped burn on my right hand. It seems like my accidents know how to spell the initials of my name now.

In case you don't get it, my name is Chin Sheng, hence the initial would be C and S.

One thing that made me feel better is that it is Friday the 13th, which means I can blame it all on bad luck. :P

Hoo boy, nothing seems to be going right today. Everything I do seems to be going toward the wrong direction, no matter what I do. Let's just hope my university application doesn't go that way.

I just heard the song that was sung by Malaysian artistes to promote unity in Malaysia. It's rather nice, and it's called "Here in My Home". It's worth a listen and for a good reason... Now, if Malaysia and Malaysians are like how the song depicts then it'll be great.

If someone is saying "Leo, quit being cheesy!", I'm prepared to shove cheese up their snotholes. I happen to like songs that convey good messages! Songs about love or blings get moldy and disgusting like soggy bread. So, NYAH! and HA HA! :P

Songs that are either deep in meaning or great in performance deserve my praise. :D But that's restricted to my personal opinion.

Another song I recommend would be "改变自己"（Change Yourself) by Lee-Hom Wang. I just listened to this recently on a Chinese radio. It's great, but I still prefer his duet with Mindy Orr called "我用生命爱妳"(I Want to Spend a Lifetime Loving You). The latter really brings the voltage point up a few notch. But the first one has a better message, for people who care for the environment like myself.

Don't you just hate it when you wrote a REALLY LONG entry about how great your vacation went and suddenly you have to leave to attend to something(a customer for me), only to come back to a computer that crashed?

So, yeah, my whole entry on how Redang Island is totally great has been wasted. I wasn't using my computer, else I would have done it on editpad and kept saving. Now I'm too tired to write it over again... *whimper*

What say you and why? I'm planning to buy one, and only one of them. I need your help(and experience of owning either) to help me choose.

Oh, yeah, report on Redang Island still to come. It's a great place to be and I cannot write what happened there because I'm overflooded with work.

I'VE DONE IT! I APPLIED TO UCAS! ONE THING TO CROSS OFF MY LIST! *Leans back* Aaaa- *Falls down* -aaaouch!

Now, the waiting begins! But, not when I'm going for a trip to Redang Island! MUAHAHAHAHA! Okay, I've been longing for a trip to the beach/island for a long time. I'm currently packing, so I'll keep this short.

Work had made me anti-social, depressed and socially dead. So, this vacation should do me good.

Also, at work today, I have to help Dad review some of his documents and soon I'm making corrections like an obsessed English teacher. There were many grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. It's so much that it's making my head hurt. If I see one more grammatical mistake, I swear my eyes are going to bleed.

Anyway, time to look for my shorts. I can't wear slacks to the beach, it would be inappropriate.

Stolen from my sister, but damn! I never knew that I was such a... saint... Ulp! I foresee many attempts to corrupt me.

Milo has severe astraphobia, fear of lightning and thunder! He goes  panicky and destructive when there's thunderstorm, and unfortunately, the worst storm I have seen these few years just occurred today. The effect? He tore the main door's curtains.

Usually, if I'm around, he would run to me for comfort like a little scared puppy and calm down when I put my arms around him. Tips for dog owners, towels and hugs work wonders for calming scared dogs.

However, he does brave through a storm if he sees me getting caught in one. Example being that one time when I was caught in a thunderstorm while walking back from the supermarket. Milo barked at me as if to say "GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE! THERE'S A STORM!!" and he didn't run for cover like he usually does.

However, he reverted to his panicky side when I got in and proceeded to jump on me for comfort and I attacked him with an old towel because he was wet and shivering.

I suppose despite loving creatures as much as I do, and recently got over my arachnophobia and entomophobia, I still have creatures that I fear. I'm afraid of jellyfishes. Okay, they're not animals per se, but I suppose they will do since they possess certain animal characteristics. I freeze up in fear when I see one in the water with me, especially if I'm equipped with nothing but a piece of swimwear for protection. That's like trying to move around an enchanted garden of microscopic thorns NAKED! Well, almost naked...

However, I should note that it's not a traumatic fear, more like a cautious one because I've never been stung by a jellyfish. Added with the annoying fact that they're quite invisible when they're in the water and they are usually loaded with trigger happy microscopic poisonous barbs that automatically embed themselves into you by a mere touch, I'm absolutely terrified of them. There's also a fragment of memory in my head that depicts a jellyfish swarm, I don't remember much granted that I lost many of my childhood memory. However, I do remember a river full of jellyfish.

Probably the idea of a creature made of gelatin-like consistency and equipped with microscopic poisonous snares that randomly floats about scares me. I mean, jelly is for eating and I like to keep it that way. Okay, jelly can also be  tossed at the idiot who started a food fight in the cafeteria, but I digress. If they aren't poisonous, I guess I wouldn't fear them as much because my logical side would come in and kick my silly emotional side's ass.

Perhaps the game X-COM 2: Terror from the Deep had something to do with it because I was terrified of the floating brain with a beak(Tentaculat) and the super huge jellyfish creature(Hallucinoid).

Anyway, to be honest, I generally fear creatures I cannot comprehend or control. I've been chased and bitten by dogs, scratched by cats, had a snake(Non-poisonous grass snake) slither into my shirt, bitten by a dumb hamster that couldn't differentiate my hand from a peanut, stung repeatedly by bees and have been bitten by a dragonfly(Yes, I've confirmed that dragonflies do bite under threat). However, I have not developed fear for them because I understand that none of that are actually fatal, unless the dogs/hamster/dragonfly developed rabies or I'm allergic to cat scratches and bee stings. Otherwise, I'm fucked.

There is also one other animal that I fear, but at the same time love. Want to know what is this special creature? No, not wolves. Not bears. Not tigers. Okay, you're all probably frustrated at guessing. So, presenting... Dum da da DUM!

Humans. I know many would be offended, which is why I put it down here. Many people would categorize themselves as something beyond animals, but really, we are just highly intelligent and complex animals with many contradicting qualities. So, drop those holier-than-thou attitude because you can't change reality, bub. On the other hand, I find this creature mighty attractive because I'm the same organism. :P

No matter how I might bash at humanity for its contradicting qualities, it doesn't compare to my fear of jellyfishes. The brainless semi-translucent blob with many poisonous tentacles. It has enough tentacles to make a hentai character cry! Okay, so they already cry like armageddon had fell upon them in those sick tentacle rape movies, but I'm trying to make a point!

"What is that? It looks disgusting!" Grandma commented on my slop of leftovers. I stared at my food and thought, "What?!"

When I asked, she said that my bowl of leftovers looked disgusting. Well, that is what you get when you randomly throw in edible leftovers into a pot and hope it tastes good. Whatever that comes out won't always look good, but usually it tastes good if you know how to cook it.

Which led me to think about something, I'm definitely not made for fine dining. Both in cooking and eating. If you would have me dress up in a tuxedo and go to high class restaurants to enjoy fine wine and some exotic dishes, I would most probably embarrass myself like a tragedy waiting to happen. Same goes for cooking, if you need me to dress up in a uniform and cook in a high-class restaurant, I would most probably end up in a stained uniform and a mediocre looking dish.

I suppose I'm not brought up to be refined, since I rarely enjoy expensive things like bird's nest, abalone, veal, capons, shark's fin and foie gras. Therefore, I suppose it is normal for someone like me to eat slop of leftovers. At least I know I won't die from starvation when fresh food becomes scarce.

It's Earth Day, and I forgot about it because I was too busy at work. I knew today is a special day but, damn! While I do try to do a lot of green things like recycling, cutting down my carbon footprint by walking and reducing electricity usage, care for plants, and all those overrated stuff. But I don't do them because it makes me feel like "Oh! I'm so great, I'm helping the environment!". I do them because I like it, unless fate becomes unreasonable.

However, being a greener guy(not out of jealousy) has its benefits, I save more on cash and I'm helping the environment. The down part is having to suffer a bit, but suffering is what I've gone through a lot so it doesn't bug me that much.

The main reason why I'm pissed is because Nat Geo is having an Earth Day special with really interesting documentaries. AND I MISSED THEM! GODDAMMIT!

Yeah, I was frustrated but I'm slightly happier because I worked up a sweat and I finally got a AA(No miss) rating on DDRMAX2 on a Level 3 song.

I guess this work-out is the most effective because I like dancing, just didn't know how.

Two of my latest artworks that I'm actually proud of, because I referred to nothing when I draw them. Sorry, still suck at drawing legs. That's why the rocker wasn't complete, but I absolutely love the way I drew the guitar.

Today, I went to the public library hoping I could find at least something about IELTS. To my dismay, no one knows what it is and let's just say after spending a hour looking around, I still see no signs of anything that gives  any information on IELTS.

Then I found some "Guide to University" books, and I took a few out. After reading them, the entry requirements seemed very low for everything and I was beginning to think, maybe I have a good chance after all.

When I was finished, it's written on the last page that it is printed in year 1988-1989... !@#^(&*%!!! What gives?! That's like 20 years ago! I was just a wee lad probably a few months old!

Then, after another hour of exasperated search, I decided to give up and called Terrance. I asked him about his MUET(The English test which I got a band 5 out of 6) book, and asked if I could borrow it for a while. I suppose something is better than nothing.

I'm seriously disappointed at the public library, put something up-to-date! Goddammit! Sheesh! It's almost like I'm walking into a museum.

IT IS RIDICULOUSLY HOT, AND I CAN FIND NO RELIEF!!! AAAAAAAAH!!!!

After an hour of fast-paced Dance Dance Revolution, all songs in my playlist seems to slowed down by a lot. It's like listening to everything in slow motion, heh. But, damn, I should've gotten DDR sooner. It is great fun, and good workout too!

Too bad I can't do it everyday, because I get more cramps that way.

Apparently, I'm not your average movie goer. I haven't watch any movies in months, and today I don't know what to say when my friends were talking about movies. We were hanging out, and talked about a few things. My friend, Gan, is moving because his father transferred to another province/state.

Anyhow, everything is a blur because I don't know what everyone is talking about. They were reenacting some movie scripts that they found funny, and I just forced out a laugh despite not knowing what the hell they are talking about.

I'm am soooooo out of it. XP

While reading about Pokemon Ranger Batonnage aka Pokemon Ranger 2, I suddenly had an urge to draw one of my favorite scenes in Corpse Bride, which is the ending where Victor sets Emily free. I drew out the scene from memory(because I rewatched the ending a lot of times), and it turned out okay, for someone who has no talent or conviction in art. I also removed all the raggedy clothes(which I originally placed in) because I wanted the picture to depict longing instead of abandonment.

I originally wanted to draw the butterfly scene, but the butterflies got me frustrated. There are too many! TOO MANY BUTTERFLIES!!! *snaps*

I'll upload the thing soon, and this is the FIRST time I ever drew a bride correctly. Maybe because Emily's dress was simple to patch up?
