Square One

Yay! Update! *Laugh Out Loud*

As everyone should know it is the Chinese New Year, i'm currently at home, catching up with series i've left untouched over the past few months, eating and sleeping, lurking around kopitiam in LY.net, Facebook-ing and gaming. It's good to finally take a break after the long somester. Actually, exams just ended last week.

So anyway, i spent my Chinese New Year on family gatherings, visiting and of course collecting ang pows! These are what i usually do during Chinese New Year. But this year, it was a little different, because i spent time with my girlfriend's family for the first time !!! Usually, it's just dad and mom. But noooooo, two of her sisters have family, so that makes it twice the people you would usually meet. I wasn't really prepared for it, but i told myself, this is a test, for it would be the same situation for my internship interview.

Yes, about that. I've been shortlisted for an interview for my internship with HSBC's IT department. The interview is on the 11th of February. Wish me good luck!

Back to where we left off, how hard could it be? I would just put a smile on my face and respond appropriately to every question. Just like a robot programmed to do the right thing. But it was kinda fun. Instead of what i'd imagined, questions thundering down, eyes staring at me, whispers all around but no, i was treated normally, well normally people treat other people normally, my normally means, well, good? Maybe i was thinking too much. *LOL*.

Moving on, my dad commented on me being able to look at the computer for hours without fail. i'd say aren't all people like that? I was just catching up with Prison Break, 2 more episodes to episode 16 of season 4. I still have season 3 and 4 of house and heroes. To add to the list, Lost just started. Guess i'll be very very busy just trying to finish them, even downloading them takes time with 512MB screamyx in my home.The speed is annoyingly slow.

Since it's the Chinese New Year and we have the opportunity to get ang pows.*A few more years and we'd be giving them, enjoy while you can*. We would all have a plan, something to spend on with the money that we were given. So, on my list, are a few items that i would want to spend my money on.

Number 1
Bank Account - Save the money in to the bank and keep it.

Number 2
Graphic Card - 285GTX anyone? My 8600gts can't play GTA IV.

Number 3
Keyboard - Sidewinder X6 looks tempting...

I think that these are the only things i would think of doing with my ang pow money. Kind of a gadget freak i am.

Serious *kinda* Post

I've been thinking a lot lately. I always wonder on how to decipher the mind of the other gender. For example, when a person cares a lot of someone, he tends to control, which tends to make the other gender uneasy. The girls will usually think that " He wants to control me, he doesn't let me do anything, i want more freedom ". On the other hand, the guys will think "I don't want her to get hurt, i must take care of her". The mind of a male and a female have different ways of decipher a message.

I came up with a few theories to "Certain things guys don't like their girlfriends to do".

1. Insecurity
They do it because they feel insecure. Touching on the issue of being close to another guy friend. Most guys don't like it, they even go to the lengths of forbidding the girl to mix less with guys. That will be classified as a control freak. Jealousy is not wrong, guys should be jealous. Jealous means care, jealous means she is important to you.

2. They know better.
I don't know if there's any truth to this theory. But i do know that, how do i put this. Let's say, guy sees girl talking a lot to a guy this few days, girl is asked to a party, guy says no. Why? because, the guy will think this way : IF i was the guy, what would i do? I'd definitely hit on her, that's what i will do. So in a way, they think they know better, or we call this assuming because what the guys do is think as a guy, what would a guy do.

3. Afraid of change
Some guys are afraid of this. Afraid that one day, girl comes back, starts an argument, say that she wants out. Or girl starts acting wierdly, start dressing wierdly. That is why sometimes we forbid some of the things that may lead to this.

Of all the theories i came up with, some are just bullshit. Hell, i could never even know what am i actually thinking. But i believe some of it are true.

When a girl hurts, it is very easy to spot out. But when a guy hurts, it takes someone who really understands the person to actually notice.

Note: all the above are my own opinion, it comes from my twisted mine, source or concept or truthfullness is irrelevent.


Well, i feel better typing it out. It's difficult to understand.

I'd be talking about something more happier in the next post.

P.S. - Manchester United is on top. Nothing more.
