Why I want to be Single

Sigh. So much for blogging everyday. Now that I'm caught up doing something else, I neglect my blog again.

...

Anyway... Recently, I've had friends who have expressed to me their interest in finding their significant other. It feels weird knowing that it's the age people are finally looking to form families and stuff, but yeah, I can live with that.

No, I'm not worried that I'd be forgotten as soon as they find their special someone. It's to be expected and quite natural.

What I'm more concerned about...

...is everyone else who asks me why I want to stay single forever.

Now...let me clarify this. It has very little to do with my sense of self worth. I would admit that my dating market value is next to 0 and I attract more flies than erh, rice. (I can't find anything that rhymes...)

But that said...

Why do most people question my decision!?!?!?!?

And then they would follow up with the same kind of comments:
"You would lead a happier life."
"You'd have someone to grow old with."
"And when you die, you won't be lonely."

My answers are usually the same:
"I like to be free."
"Being attached is damn troublesome."
"I'd rather spend more time playing game than talking ♥!"

Yeah... You can predict the kind of responses to refute my answers.

Okok. Let's put a full stop to all these arguments now. Never mind how I seriously treasure being unrestrained.

THIS is the biggest reason...

...I refuse to change for anyone else!!!

YES! As you probably know by now, I happen to live a lifestyle that is completely acceptable to a fellow guy--IF I was a guy. Admittedly, some guys can cook. But my best dish is western food where as long as the food has been on the frying pan, it's edible. I do do housework...but for my convenience. And I am hardly presentable. Not much signs of femininity either. I don't want children. I don't want to share expenses with another guy because if we break up, it's going to be hell, and I don't want to raise a giggolo. (By the way, have I mentioned to you how somehow the kind of guys I attract are usually those looking for a mother?) I am rarely hygienic.

DESPITE listing all the horrible habits that I have...I am completely comfortable with the way I am and I just. don't. want. to. change.

Now, maybe a solution would be...find some guy who just LOVES the kind of weirdness I have.

Riighhhttt. Let's be realistic... What kind of guy who is good would be attracted to that. Tell me a guy that doesn't go for looks first. No, I'm not upset that they're very visually charged. In fact, I am also just as superficial...I friggin' go for looks first too.

Thus, let's reach a consensus... "Let nature take its course!"

Yup. So, let's end this once and for all...and stop questioning why I want to be single. I have no desire to produce offspring and I...well, just don't. want. to. change.

Zzz.

Pondering

I had initially posted an entry about my agnostic viewpoints. But after thinking for a while... I think it's safer not to post it at all.

Thankfully, I'm not living in America.

LOL I used to be The Joker (65%), and second in place was Dark Phoenix (who the toot is that?). I wanted to be some other smart villain, which truth be told, I don't know almost all of them 8D (I don't follow the Marvel series, though I like Spiderman and Batman).

And again, I don't know who the toot Apocalypse is, but it sounds very funny! Hahaha! Got some questions asking if you are healthy and don't know what (something like that), I have definitely been honest... (Okay I don't think they meant that fitness) Wahh this is so new and unpredictable. +1 to this!

And some other quiz that I like to do when I'm bored:

113 words

Typing Speed Test

Position #256 of 140419! I don't know if that number is BS though... I did it in the office, where the keyboard is tough and sturdy--good for this thing! Unfortunately, typing too fast makes the keyboard too loud, and it's too suspicious cuz my data entry is mostly short phrases of number parts D:

But I'm happy... 10 more words than the last time I did! Top 100 position is not too far off!!! (I was in 700+ last time)

Edit I went to find the superhero version of the quiz...

Your results:
You are Superman

Superman 80% Iron Man 70% Green Lantern 70% Hulk 70% Supergirl 67% Spider-Man 60% Robin 57% Catwoman 55% The Flash 55% Batman 55% Wonder Woman 47%

You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others.

NOOOOO I AM STILL SUPERMAN!! I'm going to lie my way through to get Batman and Spiderman next time!!!!!! /Edit

Nice Article

Okay... I came across a nice article:

How to not depend on others to make you happy

It obviously isn't proofread. But it sounds natural on the ear so...oh well, I guess I'm not as picky about language as I thought I was.

That aside, I thought the content was rather meaningful.

It kinda reminds me how in the past I got emotionally tired and I told the person to go make herself happy. Then her response was: "I can't do that at all. How can I do that? Tell me."

Not exactly those words, but something along the line, a blatant statement that pushed all the responsibility to me. Well, sure... I can be the listening ear who's somehow always on call to hear an earful of ramblings. I can be the trash can over MSN who's fed all sorts of bah, negative things. How is it that I've become responsible for someone else's emotional wellbeing? o_O

Meh...and all sorts of emo nonsense. I have now effectively installed an emo radar that sends chills up my ass when I see the act-happy-but-not-happy emo buttbags. Heyyy... There's a difference between people who aren't comfortable sharing emo events but can't hide it and people who are leaking emo scent and hope people pick it up, ask them about it and listen to their barrage of emo stories.

Bah. I think I came out of the mess as the bad guy, who wouldn't account to friends and be responsible for wiping their asses.

...Hmm. Thinking about it, I wonder if I'm still affected? I guess I'm still feeling faintly bitter about it. Yeah... No point denying it. The one thing that's leaving me with a big thumb sore called "regret" is that I never got to brutally bash the other person on the head. Erh, figuratively or verbally, not literally.

Now, why didn't I do it?

Like always, there are two sides to the same nickel, and meh... It's hard to say, but I've had a crap load of faults on my part that I can't even wash myself clean even if I jumped through the what, yellow river?

The one outstanding thing that I have and am still trying super hard to get rid of is not keeping promises. I'm liable to making them and breaking all of them hurhur. ~__~ Left a lot of repercussions. Now trying not to promise anything even at knife point, if I knew I wasn't gonna fulfill it. Annoys myself.

Biggest mistake was not being able to set boundaries. Couldn't tell what was what, who was who... Best death trap for emotional blackmail and lack of respect. Yeah I mean, the moment you get too close, you take your friend for granted and then respect just suddenly disperses on its own.

Hmm yeah, I like things with a bit of distance. It's kinda fun, knowing you can't exactly dig into your friend's everything but still wanting to know what they're like. Makes them look mysterious and interesting to be with. It's something I never knew when I never set boundaries.

Ooo. I feel kinda better now.

ehow

...I slept at 2am for an extremely lame reason of seeing my pixels in different fashion, and laughing at randoms in a pixel world.

...

Anyway, that aside...some stuff in life got me wondering the widely viewed or discussed opinions and definitions of certain stuff, such as ego and selfishness (which I never got anything beyond the whole debate between selfishness and self-interest).

Then I came upon this site.

The first article I read was rather simple and well written.

But after I started to jump links and surf the site... Mannn. How the hell do they QC their articles??? I'm usually not very picky with language, especially in a conversational setting. I wouldn't jump at or be prejudiced against international gamers who can't grasp the English language very well. But when I read supposedly professional articles...I cannot stand it when language is thrown out of the window completely.

Wtf is with the use of sms language and a string of typos?? 'These peopel are not tat intrsted in ur lif." <-- ...??!!????!?!??!!??? (not exact and just an example, but I found something like that amongst some articles)

I saw an article called, "How to take a bath." I thought it was relevant to dirt bugs like me, since I sometimes stay up too friggin' late that I end up bringing all my dirt bags with me to bed, only to bathe the next morning.

Wow.

It was a full length essay telling you how to take a long bath. It had 10 pointers, almost as long as paragraphs. Let me attempt writing it in my own words...

1. Play handphone music.
2. Pour water, starting from warm temperature.
3. Add bath spices.
4. Take off clothes and lie dead in the bath tub while the water from tap drool all over you. Turn up the temperature and start boiling yourself without actually boiling. Then top up your bath tub.
5. Pamper each body part like separate entities. Coo to them like hoaxing little children. Make each of your body part feel super loved. Remember, this is called pampering, not cleaning for the sake of cleaning.
6. Boil some more.
7. Use body wash and conditioner together. Apparently, it works for leg and armpit hair too, so it will make your weeding activity so much smoother. Then remember to spot check for 'scratchiness'.
8. Do whatever you like; now is free and easy time.
9. Powerfully, now you begin to wash your face and hair after drowning yourself so damn long. Then get out, and pat yourself dry. Spray all sorts of things that make you smell good. (P.S: It's nice to spray behind neck and between your neh neh, a.k.a long kang.) Then put whatever face nurturing thing you need to.
10. Wear your clothes and get on with it.
Tips and warnings:
- Best times are when you are alone or got lover in next room.
- Remember to install SECOM or Cisco Security Systems. Build some ninja traps while you're at it. It will be bad if someone steps in and not only sees you naked, but you naked AND playing with your rubber ducky.
- I dunno what the last tip means, but I interpret it as, if your hands and legs are growing webs like frogs, get the hell out of the bath tub of doom.

They forgot to add point 11: Keep your water to flush the toilet bowl for the next two or three days, depending on how prudent you are.

Hmmm. I must admit...if I never read the original article, I wouldn't know what the hell I was writing either.

I'm not too fond of articles with corny humor. Not too witty. And worse if they sound like your common auntie trying to give out advice. It reminds me of this particular article I read another day, called "How to stop being jealous" or something like that. Wah lao. It sounded like some cult leader giving you scary imageries:

"You see someone better than you. Suddenly, you feel angry. Yes, you feel hatred. You hate how the person is better than you. You feel unfair. But you don't know why. Yes, you are consumed by this hatred, so you start comparing. You compare with someone worse than you. Suddenly, you feel better. You lavish in the joy that someone is worse than you. But it does not last long. What is the point? There is always someone better than you. Then the vicious cycle begins. You become hateful again. And you are swallowed by this misery, jealousy and depression..."

^ I have no idea wtf s/he's talking about. My envy issues have never gotten so cult-like, to be honest. I wonder he didn't add the following:

"Your hatred is so powerful, it's burning! YES!! Your ass is on fire!!! But you can't put it out! It must be the methane that you're releasing! Oh Lord!! IT HURTS!! IT HURTS SO MUCH! This hatred, this jealousy, it's setting my xxxyyyzzz on fire!!! It's burning so bad, I'd develop cancer eating my xxxyyyzzz!!!!! ZZZ OOHH MY MAMA MY ASS IS GONE"

Something to that effect.

And yeah, the writer doesn't have a good grasp of English... Reminds me slightly of Chinese writers learning English or some European country English, not sure which.

Ohhh hey, in case you're wondering if I have something against the writer... The writer's articles are decent though. Just that the content and advice mostly sounded like some Buddha zen thing masked in Western context... Felt very weird. I sometimes (or too many times) feel the need to poke fun at things.

I was about to digress, but I shall end here to keep it relevant to "ehow". It looks like a 'professional' site all right...but that's about it. Hahaha.

Oh Noes!?

I...didn't blog on Mon - Wed!??!

...Okay...

So on Sunday night, I went for Wei Jie's bday chalet at DTE. Didn't wish him a Happy Birthday cuz y'know, it's...2 weeks in advance? Kinda weird hahahaa.

Met some people I haven't seen in ages!

Xinhui - New hairdo gives a very new aura...which I can't quite explain what it is 8D
Xueying - Pretty much still the same tai tai. I still remember her for her long legs...hahahahaha (must be cuz of the badminton sesson a long time ago)
Chelsea - To think close to 7 years ago, our interaction style was... Chelsea sees me, freezes, and expects to get smacked while I see it as a cue to smack her. Haahahahhaha. Become pretty le wor! Almost could not recognise her.... Goes to show how freakishly long I haven't seen her...

And although this sounds weird... I finally got to interact with Isabel, whom I still don't know whether to address by ign or real life name? @.@ (bel feels weird, Isabel also feels farnie, and the other name...erh...) We meet online almost everyday and kill mobs and bosses but yeah, never really talked face-to-face.

So!! I'm kinda surprised that she isn't as quiet as I thought her to be! (...In fact, I think she makes noise to no particular audience...)

So... Xueying, Chelsea, Isabel, Liz and I played Monopoly Deal. Actually... I think 5 other people started the game right? Was it XY, Chelsea, some guy whose name I still don't know, Manning and... ... (there's a mysterious missing person in my memory bank...) Midway through, the game switched hands... Hahahaha. Then MN had to leave...and Monopoly Deal belonged to her. !!!

So we went out to find Monopoly Deal and poker cards. When we first went into the chalet, we didn't pay $1. Then when we (Liz and I) came out and tried to go back in, have to pay $1 cuz the guard was there! The most sian thing was...the guard didn't even look and check if we had the chops on us lor. =__= Zzzz.

Not too important. But we found a guy walking into the females toilet, and Chelsea and I blatantly looked like we wanted to laugh...and I burst out laughing. Simi LJ lah.

Anyway yeah... Wah lao. When I played Monopoly Deal, I seriously had beginner's luck man... After that my luck and money kena syphon to dunno which 5th dimension vacuum. Then I must've been such a powerful suay air generator that the two people sitting closest to me (Isabel and Liz) both kena my suay qi... Liz became a barren land of stolen and mortgaged property while Isabel who started out winning was eventually swallowed by my suay qi and also tio stolen and lost property. Hell yeah, this is so satisfyingly entertaining! Hahahaahhahaahhaaha

...The most lasting impression I had of the whole gathering though...

...was Isabel asking Chelsea, "You just ate the whole cheese tart down like that???"

Then Chelsea counter-asked, "Yah lah then? Must smell it first ah??" *sniff sniff* Complete with action and expression...like high on drugs. HAHAHA

Wah. And my biggest >:O!!!!! was... Where's the PS3???

What a belated post. Pfft!
