Packets of Love to Moscow from Singapore
My darling Anja who is far far away in Moscow just complained that I have not blogged about her in my entries before. And so here it goes

я тебя люблю!

Have a very belated birthday! Entschuldigen mich bitte, weil ich kein guter Mann bin. Ich liebe dich (und auch Sinem) wie immer!

Sense of Achievement
I guess nowadays I show a high tendency to react against what is exerting pressure on me. And I actually feel good for having done nothing over the mid Semester break while a lot of my fellow university mates have been working as hard as a diamond over the week.

Have I given up? OR am i lagging behind others?

It's a matter of perspective, I guess.

You Know What?
Eating never fails to cheer me up.

Half a mooncake is all that is needed to lift me up and away from the stress and the pressure that has been exerted on me this while.

However, there is only one side effect, and this side effect requires me to put in EVEN more effort in controlling my weight.

Every Candy comes at a Price huh.

When
the triumph of a civilization starts to rot
with Corruption it begins.

the morality of a person starts to degrade
with Distrust it begins.

materialism starts to take dominance
with Dishonesty it begins.

Welcome to the Real World

Sometimes
I think I am just another fool
who takes on burden on himself
even though he clearly knows
the consequences

Who cares in the end anyway
No one appreciates

The Idiotic Me
I think I am oversensitive at times. Tend to overreact to things that seem trivial to others. But is that a bad trait to have, for thinking too much on even the slightest details perceived by the others?

Perhaps, it is a matter of perspective. Or maybe it is an essential and valuable trait for a future scientist to possess.

That is, if I ever graduate with a Second Upper. As of now, it biases slightly towards the spectrum of Second Lower.

Think some sleep is what I need now.

Am I oversensitive? Am I overreacting? Do reply if you care to do so. I appreciate straightforward answers. Thank you.

Bastards
My limited proficiency and hence pool of vocabulary hindered me from finding a more suitable word to describe this psychopathic, uneducated, insane and obviously mentally unsound mindless lowly creature (he does not even deserved to be called a human for all these unforgivable acts) 简直就是猪狗不如的畜牲!

What did she do to deserve all the sufferings she went through in your pursuit for mental and sexual pleasure? If cucumbers really turn you on so much, why don't you just shove it up yourself?

I don't care if I am really cursing you, but the Hell, or whichever is the worst place to be in the Afterlife of your religion, would be a place too good for you to go after you receive your death sentence on this pathetic Earth. That's if the judiciary is capable enough to do that. In what I believe, 永不超生 (to remain in the 18th level of the Hell, never to be reincarnated) is what you deserve.

If there is one sentence that I would ever have to say right to your face, no other sentence would be better than these 2 words:

_|_ FUCK YOU _|_

And for those who cared about nothing else but took tonnes of pictures at her funeral, I plead to you, please leave her family alone. Give this poor little girl at least the last respect for her dignity, will you? All the while, sensationalizing issues seems to be what you are doing, when you are supposed to report truths.

And if such a case is classified as an isolated case of a sex maniac, then will somebody explain why is there already 1816 of such cases in the first 7 months so far? You do not have to be a specialist or scientist or mathematician to even need to do a statistical test to determine whether there is a significant difference.

And let's see who are the ones that would give false promises AGAIN this time round.

The society is ill.

The Path to Enlightenment
How many
incidents of such and such
SICKENING news are needed
for the government and the relevant authorities to realize
that the society is ill?

How many
lives are required
to sacrifice
for them to realize
the importance of mutual understanding?

How much
does the crime rate needs
to rise
for them to realize
that the society is rotting away?

How long MORE
would it take
or drag
before they actually REALIZE AND RECOGNISE
and find the right solution to solve the problems?

Perhaps
it is not the responsibility of the government
but that of the CITIZENS
who ARE responsible to VOTE
for a government which would work

Then again
how would we know
which of them ACTUALLY carry out
what they promised
during the rallies in their election campaigns?

Perhaps
affluence breeds satisfaction
satisfaction breeds ignorance
ignorance breeds greed
greed breeds corruption

Perhaps
a new generation who cares
is needed
to diagnose and to heal
before the illness becomes terminal

Overwhelmed
I don't know what else to say now. Feel like screaming my liver out. Why do so many things just need to happen simultaneously. That's too much for me to take.

Does a fourth dimension of space-time really exist? If so, I REALLY would like to stay only in this fourth dimension - just to breathe.

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

I Think
I am a bastard.

I wonder who was the one who said this:

"To err is human, to forgive divine"

This is probably the lamest proverb I ever knew, as it is nothing else but giving excuses to cover up the mistakes done.

Who is the one to judge between right or wrong anyway. The power of evaluation is very subjective.

Liebe Coco
Du wirst vielleicht dieses Blog von mir nicht sehen, aber ich möchte dir ganz herzlich noch einen schönen Geburtstag wünschen. Ich verstehe ganz genau, wie man beim Aufenthalt im Ausland sich fühlt. Ich bin mir ganz froh, dass Du noch Freunde dabei hast, um mit dir deinen Geburtstag zu feiern. Weil du eine von den sehr wenigen guten Freunden dass ich habe in Konstanz warst, lohnt es sich natürlich, dass ich dir eine überraschende Geburstagsfeier geben muss.

Gib dir selbst nicht so viel Stress, weil solche Teste bei uns ganz normal sind. Ich habe leider keine Geschenke für Dich, aber ich hoffe, dass Du Dich über den Geburstagstorte und die Mondküchen gefreut hast.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, viel Spaß noch beim Aufenthalt in Singapur.

Mit schönen, lieben Grüßen,
JE

Soon
I will be posting in Hungarian. Once I achieve a proficiency level good enough. Muahahaha... this is in retaliation to Someone. :D

This wonderful friend of mine obviously after reading my latest entries got agitated (as seen from his blog entry lol) as they were not written in English. To put it honestly and simply, I did it on purpose. Not that I want to offend my most loyal readers, but sometimes there are things best said in the language you are most proficient in. I am sure all the polyglots or multi-linguists or whichever-word-is-better-to-describe-these-kind-of people would understand exactly what I am talking about.

And usually when I start writing in another language that not many people understand, yes the purpose is clear. There are also some thoughts that I wish to pen down but do not wish so many people to know exactly what it is. But rest assured, it's nothing serious, and I will be fine.

So don't take offence la yar. And thanks for your wonderfully (an ignorant assumption, and you shall understand why in the next following words) written poem for me in Vietnamese and I really appreciate it. Will try not to get too tensed up. It has been quite challenging to do that these days, given all the hectic schedule and responsibilities.

知音难求
我高估了自己
自以为 尽管如此情形
还可以 尽一份力

不料
尽力了
还是达不到 设定的标准
尽力了
还是达不到 大家的期望

我不求 任何谅解
更不求 任何怜悯

谅解 换句话叫做借口
怜悯 抹杀了 我仅存的一丝尊严
谅解与怜悯 其差别又能由何计算

我只求 短暂的 耳根清静

或许
我只是 一根骨头
没肉了 啃一啃 味道勉强有一丝
啃完了 味道淡了 遗忘只在一瞬间

或许
我只是 浩瀚宇宙里的一颗沙子
存在与否 都没什么差别

毕竟 我这样 简直就是自讨苦吃
说出来 只会招来笑话

知音难求
得者 惜之
未得者 莫愁之
有缘 必能遇之

Niemand
Ich brauche noch Zeit
so dass alles wieder in gutem Zustand und Ordnung ist

Ich brauche auch Mut und Geduld
aber manchmal bleiben die Gelegenheiten leider nicht bei mir

Wer ist dann denn geklagt zu werden?

Niemand wird es vielleicht verstehen
Aber dann, wer pflegt?

Ich bin eigentlich niemand

Hungarian is cool
Szia, én magyart tanulok. Élvezetes magyarul tanulni!

Köszönöm! Szeretlek!

This language is so exotic and unique that I don't think you can find a possible source of learning it in Singapore or Malaysia unless you can find a native Hungarian speaker here. My great friends from this wonderful country have nonetheless inspired me in understanding more about their culture and hence, language. So what now? Find the resources and learn on my own. Afterall, I can always find help on MSN :P Anita, nagyon kedves vagy!

I am stressed.

Ein komisches Gefühl
Gestern verließ sie.
Ich sollte etwas getan haben,
aber leider habe ich nichts gemacht.

Dieses Gefühl ist ganz komisch.
Komisch, bis ich nicht mehr weiß, wie es zu beschreiben.

Ist das wegen der Unsicherheit?
oder wegen des komischen Gefühls?

Ich weiß nicht, wie sie denkt.
Ich weiß auch nicht, was ich denke.

Vielleicht bin ich der Feigling.

迟来的祝福
This post is dedicated to my homeland, Malaysia.

Happy belated 50th Independence Day. May you always be healthier and more prosperous, and all people living peacefully as we all strive to achieve a better life of our own.

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan ke-50. Semoga tanahairku mencapai mimpinya sebagai sebuah negara yang maju, selamat, aman, damai dan indah.

50 years of independence. 44 years of formation. 42 years of what it has been until today. What have we as a nation achieved? Is it not a good time to do some self reflection and revision of goals?
