Explosm & Dilbert

my exams finished! XD well, for the moment, that is, the real exam is actually in dec...

I have been lazy to blog lately, but also bcos I feel I should study instead of wasting time on9 T_T but there's been one thing which I've been meaning to do lately, which is blog about the latest thing I found interesting online... which is nothing much, so I feel a bit pathetic for blogging about this, but I'm happy & contented in my sorta boring life ;-P & that's all that matters

anyway, I'm juz gonna blog about these 2 things, cos they made me laugh when I was bored on9, so I thought, it's been a while since something made me laugh easily... ^^; I think I'm lacking humour in my life lol

so I'll start with the less funny stuff... basically, I'm juz gonna blog about these 2 sites, & they're both comics, so it's a bit strange that I would also read this kinda comics, cos I normally don't, the kinda comics I read are the japanese ones, whereas these are English...

the 1st site is Explosm. I've read a few of the strips before, but I didn't know that it was from there. however, the reason why I feel a bit pathetic for finding it funny is because only certain ppl would find the strips funny ^^; & a lotta strips are sex-related or violent, so this is juz a warning to ppl who don't like that kind of stuff ^^;



Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net



Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

moral lesson? dun wear other ppl's shirts XP


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

I noe a few ppl like that... sometimes they're funny, sometimes irritating ^^;


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

I find it funny, but those ppl who like children may be offended lol


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

one of the strips that I remembered XD


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

muahahaha I found it!!! ^__^ I was looking for this stupid strip to show, cos it's the 1st strip I saw before I found out about the site, & I thought it was not bad ^^ so I'll stop here yay ;-D

actually, there aren't that many funny strips in explosm, it's juz that I'm reading something new, & I don't mind reading it, for some reason ^^;


the 2nd site, & a funnier one, is Dilbert XD I think I read quite a lotta dilbert strips already, however, my favourite ones are the really old ones which aren't on the main site, which only starts in 1992, so it's too bad I can't share it here... but I shared some which are not so old, & still funny ^^ but most of the dilbert strips are either to do with companies, business, managamement, & colleagues in work, so there are a number of funny characters in that world.




this is one of the concepts I've learned since young, so I found it funny ;-D




bingo was a game I played a lot when I was younger, so I thought it was a great idea to kill boredom XD


& these are the sorta business or company jokes I find funny






maybe I like it bcos of it's violence lol











& these are the ones which I've seen a couple of times already, so they could be more popular









this reminds me of someone, or rather, someone's shirt, so I keep it for memories ;-P but it's also one of those that I've seen more than once

& lastly, one of the latest ones I've read, which isn't saying much, cos it's quite old ^^; but I'll be stopping here



hahaha I thought that was a good one too XP so, I hope you liked the strips too, & this is sorta a recommendation for comics also... if I managed to convert someone who doesn't really think much of comics to like comics, I'll feel a bit happy ^__^

till next time~ ;-)

Hi, let's shake hands!

The reason why I’ve been finding it hard to blog lately is because I feel that my topics aren’t happy topics, so I was reluctant to write. But I wanted to write about this for a while anyway, just that I forgot about it, so I hope it doesn’t become a not happy topic.

I’ve been wondering, is it culture, or age, or just human nature? Let me tell you what happened to me (at least 2 months ago), & see whether it happened to you or not, because this is something common for me, so it’s not like it didn’t happen before.

You know, when you meet new ppl? There’s 2 differences; one is when everyone is new, & doesn’t know each other at all, so you’ve to go around making new friends. Another one is when you’re introduced to new ppl by someone, or you meet new ppl who’re friends of your friends.

This probably applies both ways, but the most recent for me was the latter. So, I was being introduced to 4 or 5 friends of a friend, & although I say introduced, actually I wasn’t really. All that happened was that I joined my friend, said hi to his friends, & they said hi back, & that’s it. It wouldn’t even be really called a hi, more like an awkward nod of the head & an awkward smile to show that “yes, I know you’re there” but I’ve been ignored before too anyway. There were also some cases where we’d shake hands, & that feels awkward too, but not so bad, because at least both parties are trying to be nice & friendly, so we can’t help thinking of shaking hands (unless it’s because we’ve been brought up that way, & not everyone was brought up to shake hands when meeting new ppl).

There are 2 issues in this. One is that most of the time, when I meet new ppl, I don’t know their names. If we talk, it’d be talking, but no one mentions their name or asks the other. Of course, there are ppl who still start off by saying “hi, I’m XXX. What’s yours?” but that only happened with a few ppl in college last year when everyone was still new.

That was also a funny memory, because everyone is so awkward. When I came into the class on the 1^st day, the class reminded me of a tomb, as though someone died in there (which reminded me of one of my classes in school last time which was most of the time like that ^^;). Probably at break or after the 1^st day, ppl started making friends, but there were a few groups of friends already on the 1^st day because they’re from the same school or they’ve known each other before.

Unfortunately for me, I always seem to be on a path separate from my friends, but the good thing is that I make friends with new ppl, which I wouldn’t be able to if I chose the path that most of my friends went. But that’s just my personality, it’s hard for me to make friends with new ppl when I have existing friends by my side ^^;

& it’s funny, not knowing ppl’s names, because later on, when ppl start knowing each other’s names, you’ve to go & find out discreetly what their names are, & they find out about your names discreetly too, because all of a sudden, they’re suddenly calling you by name when previously they weren’t. I’m not sure how I managed this far, but I feel like a spy sometimes lol ;-P I know that some of my friends would ask me what their names are, but sometimes I wouldn’t know also, so I guess probably everyone goes asking around what a particular person’s name is from everyone but that person XP

The 2^nd issue is that not only do we not know each other’s names, but we can’t even say hi to each other when we meet! Probably other ppl may feel like me, which is why nothing happens, but I’d look at the person to see whether the person says hi first. But that person would look the other way (maybe not purposely then), so I’d look another way too ^^;

As in, this happens also when I’m with a group of ppl, & they don’t bother to say hi although I was going to, when I joined them. So I only talk occasionally when I feel like saying something, but otherwise I’ll keep quiet. Obviously, I won’t even call those ppl friends, but even ppl who aren’t that close wouldn’t do that, I feel, it depends on the person who does it.

But so far, when I think back, most of the time these occasions were with guys, not girls. So I thought maybe it’s a gender thing, you know, some guys are super shy, stuff like that. But there are some bitches too, or else normally I get along well enough with girls. So I wonder whether those guys are really shy, or whether they’re just rude, or is it a culture thing, unless everyone in other countries do that too, which I think would be normal. So then it’d be considered human nature to do something like that.

Which is why I normally end up liking guys who’re friendly & nice because then nobody would be ignored or missed out by those guys, but those guys have their faults too ^^; well, everyone has faults, so it’s just which faults you mind & which you don’t mind ;-)

& I’ll end it like this. I think this kind of topics are food for thought, but that’s because I like to think about ppl in general, with reference to examples, & human nature. ;-D

Personality test (quite narrow-minded, in my opinion)

This week, my coll is having holiday, so no one is having classes this week. Most ppl are very happy because they finished the test on monday & can enjoy this whole week. However, I still have a test next week (one of the unfortunate ones), so I still have to study this week T__T which I haven't been doing much because I've been influenced by the festive season (which isn't very hard for me to be influenced).

So, I feel bad for putting something like this again, like my previous post, but I really like doing this kinda tests! ^^; so, next time, I hope to post something... better, obviously, & not juz this kinda mindless stuff which is actually quite relaxing lol ;-P

ok, it is advised that you take a piece of paper & write down the answers, but you might as well do it on microsoft word or something XP
the answers are at the bottom, after all the questions... I didn't put my answers there, cos I don't wanna give my personality away through this test, except for some I don't mind disclosing ;-D

(sorry if the font looks weird, I'm getting irritated by blogger edi T_T)

You are in a deep deep forest... as you walk on you saw an old hut standing there...
(1) What is the status of the door? (Opened/closed)

(2) You enter the hut and see a table... What is the shape of the table? (Round/Oval/Square/Rectangle/Triangle)

(3) On top of the table there is a vase... in the vase there is water. How much water is it filled up with? (Full/Half/Empty)

(4) And what is the vase made of? (Glass/porcelain/clay) (metal/plastic/wood)

You walk out of the hut... as you carry on your walk in the forest... you see a waterfall from far... there is water running down...

(5) What is the speed of the water? (Choose a number ranging from 0 to 10)

Some time after the waterfall... you step on something hard on the ground... as you look down... you see glistening gold in colour. You bend down and pick it up... it is a keychain chained with keys...

(6) How many key /keys you see hanging on the keychain? (Choose a number ranging from 1 to 10)

You walk on and on... trying to find your way out...suddenly you see a castle.

(7) What is the condition of the castle?　(Old/new)

You enter the castle and saw a pool of murky water with shining jewels floating on it...

(8) Will you pick up the jewel?　(YES/NO)

Next to the murky pool... there’s another pool... with clear water and money floating on it...

(9) Will you pick the money?　(YES/NO)

Walking to the end of the castle there is an exit...you proceed to walk out of the castle. Outside the exit, there is big garden, you see a box on the ground.

(10) What is the size of the box? (small/medium/big)

(11) What is the material of the box? (cardboard/paper/wooden/metal)

There is a bridge in the garden some distance away from the box,

(12) What is the bridge made of? (metal/wooden/rattan)

Across the bridge, there is a horse.

(13) What is the colour of the horse? (white/grey/brown/black)
(14) What is the horse doing? (still and quiet/nibbling grass/running about)

OH NO!!! There is a tornado coming... some distance from the horse.

(15) You have 3 options:

(i) run and hide in the box?

(ii) run and hide under the bridge?

(iii) run to the horse, ride on and gallop away?

Did the questions feel kinda repetitive? They did to me XP ok, now for the answers...

Here are the interpretations:

(1) The door:
opened door - you are a person who is willing to share
closed door - you are a person who is keeping things to yourself

(2) The table:
Round/oval - any friends that came along, you will accept and trust them completely
Square/rectangle - you are a bit more choosy on friends and only hang out with those whom you think are on the same frequency
Triangle - you are really very very picky about friends and there are not many friends in your life.

(3) Water in vase (typical question *rolls eyes*):
Empty - your life is not fulfilled
Half filled - what you want in your life is half fullfilled
Full - your life is completely fulfilled and good for you! :)

(4) Material of vase (I chose the breakable kinda material, because that's what vases are usually made of, & that's partly why I don't like vases ^^;):
glass/clay/porcelain - you are weak in your life and tends to be fragile
metal/plastic/wood - you are strong in your life

(5) Flow of waterfall (I thought this was a stupid interpretation, personally, I hope you agree with me on this XP):

0 - no sex drive at all
1 to 4 - low sex drive
5 - average sex drive
6 to 9 - high sex drive
10 - gone case!!! super high sex drive!!! Can’t live without sex...

(6) Keys:
1 - you have one good friend in your life
2 to 5 - you have a few good friends in your life
6 to 10 - you have a lot good friends

(7) Castle (I chose old, because castles ARE normally old T__T;):
Old - shows that your last relationship is not a good one and is not memorable to you.
New - your last relationship is good and it’s still fresh in your heart.

(8) The jewel from the murky pool water (hehehe I said yes XP):
YES - when your partner is around you, you will flirt around with others.
NO - when your partner is around, you will stick around with him/her most of the time.

(9) The money from the clear water pool (if it's clear, then how could I not say yes if I said yes for the prev q?!? ;-P):
YES - when your partner is not around you, you will still flirt around with others.
NO - even when your partner is not around, you will still think of her and and will be loyal to him/her, not flirting around with others.

(10) The size of the box (I chose small, it reminded me of pandora's box, you see T_T):
small - low ego
medium - average ego
big - high ego

(11) Material of the box (outlook of the box) (I chose wooden, dunno why, but I feel it should be a wooden box lol ;-)):
cardboard/paper/wooden(non-shining)

– humble personality
metal - proud and stuck up personality

(12) The material of the bridge (oh, I choose wooden too, couldn't help imagining a wooden bridge):
metal bridge - have very strong bond with your friends
wooden bridge - average bond with your friends
rattan bridge - you are not in good terms with your friends

(13) Colour of the horse (oh, this was hard for me to choose, cos I like horses ^^; but I think I chose brown, because most horses are brown, but I like white horses & black horses too XD):
white - your partner is pure and good in your heart.
grey/brown - your partner is only average in your heart.
black - your partner doesn’t seem to be good in your heart and appears to be bad sign.

(14) Horse action (of course I imagined the horse to be nibbling grass, I mean, why would I imagine the horse to be running around?!? O_O;;):
still and quiet/nibbling grass - your partner is a very homely and humble person.
running about - your partner is a wild type person.

(15) This the last but most important part of the test. (I have no comment for this one ;-P)

Now, the above is signified by these things:

tornado - problems in your life
box - you
bridge - your friends
horse - your partner

(i) So if you choose the box, you keep your problems to yourself whenever you are met with problems.
(ii) or if you choose the bridge, you will go to your friends whenever you are met problems.
(iii) or lastly if you choose the horse, you seek your partner whenever your partner whenever you are met with problems.

As you can see, these are the answers. It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but most of the time I'm just taking it for fun, so I advise you to not take it so seriously whatever you got for your answer ;-)

ok, I gotta go already, hope you enjoyed this test, for laughs ;-)
