hahahaaaa i've been here before i know. but i think its getting serious. my interactions with people i don't know yet is frick shoddy. so to improve i will start by thinking of actions i can consciously use to "imrpove" my interactions; try try try. if its wrong/awkward i better see some shit on my tagboard or else you, my friends will be forever responsible for my future awkward relationships HAHAHAHAHA no la. I realise that when i know people beyond a certain extent my words start sounding a bit spiteful. Then people need to be a bit more tolerant to get to know me. I guess most people don't succeed at tolerating my temperament so i need to tone it down a little? HAHAHA During Y camp right this comm member wanted to borrow my camera and the first thing i told her was "if you drop it, i'll kill you". was supposed to sound jovial but came out otherwise HAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway, here's the how-to list.

1. When i meet someone i'll greet them by their name (I tend not to greet ppl by name) and if i haven't seen them in a while i'll say, "how are you (man)?" or "eh how are you, (man)?" to make it more appropriate for casual conversation.
2. Do not be a wise-ass/asshole.
3. No handshakes. HAHAHAHA unless they initiated it.
4. *what else help me out here, and don't say "it comes naturally" because to me acting naturally results in a very unpleasant "neutral" approach which strangely doesn't have a very neutral effect*

went with q to labrador park the other day. got this. needs a subj badly. i need it...

HANDSHAKES reminds me of this time one of the staff at YMCA wanted to shake my hand right after i've been taking photos for a good half-hour and my right hand was all sweaty. The first thing i did was to inspect my sweaty hand (while the lady was standing there with a her hand outstretched) then it just began to get awkward and my reflex took over to avoid the awkwardness and i went ahead to shake her hand anyway with a sweaty freakin hand. Then i realised "oh frick i stained her hand with my sweat" but it was too late HAHAHA, i then proceeded to wipe my sweaty hand on my jeans while the lady was still standing there.

here's the photo for you quinn c:

I totally agree. If it is relevant at all, he said this after news of Steve's death reached him.

Have I ever told you my dad actually MET STEVE JOBS. How awesome is that?! Fckawesome i tell you.

Life is about taking risks. Whether or not your venture is fruitful, if you did what you came to do, and not live to regret about it, it was totally worth it.

Cheers!

Just woke up? CRAVING for Milo? Looked into your Milo tin but realised that there's nothing left? STILL CRAVING MILO?! Have a few packets of Oreo lying around? A carton of milk that's about to go bad in the fridge? Have some bananas that you stole from your neighbours? OMG CRAVING MILO AND WISHED YOU HAD SOME KIND OF SUBSTITUTE?! Too bad no substitute for Milo here but we can make something else in 2 EASY STEPS! (+ 1 bonus step).

Step 1: (and we're halfway there!)

Open up about three packets of Oreo (or more if you like) and put them into a giant mug. (I use this for Milo and noodles sometimes.) Omnyom.

Step 2:

Pour milk into the cup and have a spoon ready. Wait about a minute if you like your Oreo soggy (one may even decide to mix it to have it resemble extra thick Milo though it would probably taste nothing like Milo) or eat it immediately if you like your Oreo semi-crunchy - which is how I like mine.

BONUS STEP OMG!!!!:

Eat banana!

Why the hell do people keep walking to the right side of the pavement. Ugh makes me so annoyed. Since when did they start doing that?! All this time I thought the rule was to walk to the left of the road. Always.

I mean, this was the rule ever since the first melee weapon was invented. People walk to the left of the road so it would be convenient to draw their stowed weapon to defend themselves from any oncoming threats because then the threat would have to approach then from the right.

Here's what I have in the "Make new friends" part of my brain.

1. Start with a handshake.

Yup that's about it. I'm starting to think that I really have no real capacity to make friends through deliberate interaction. Srsly how does that even work? What I realise is that people just go on talking about themselves to their friends, and their friends just get to know them more and more based on what they tell them. Isn't that a little strange? I mean, how can you TRUST what they say is true since you're not yet friends but in the making?! THEY ARE LIARS HAHAAAAHA.

Rough week so far. If you've had a rough week, I've had a pretty bad week too, so lets all just be friends since we have something in common.

I initially thought that JC would be a RADICAL (HAHA FREERADICALS LIKE NITROGEN MONOXIDE) change from VS, guess I was wrong. Castes, cliques, guys, girls(who look like guys), annoying teachers. Yup nothing's changed. Looks like I won't be getting in touch with my INNER MASCULINITY any time soon huh.

OR WILL I?! WAHAHAAAA here's to being UNDECIDED on gender preference! CHEERS.

By the way the song mentions "Benzedrine" (yeah like, "Mr. Benzedrine" it's actually found in inhalers to dilate the windpipe but has some kind of euphoric effect when you took it. It's not used anymore though.
