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 ^^;

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

one of the strips that I remembered XD

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic
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 1st 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 1st day, ppl started making friends, but there were a few groups of friends already on the 1st 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 2nd 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 ;-)

Pixar Studio Video Clips

after doing the tag, I kinda forgot what I wanted to blog ^^; I'm not saying that it's the tag's fault or anything lol it's just that, when I decided to blog, regardless of whether I had the time or not, I just sorta ran out of ideas... especially all the random ones

the thing is, I do feel kinda bad, cos I'm having exams next week, & I'm still slacking T_T but it's kinda irritating, these internal exams... I just had it 3 weeks ago, & after this exam, I'll be having another one 3 weeks after that >_> hopefully, it does help tho, cos I'm sick of exams... well, at least there'll be a public hol after this exam *__* I <3 hols XD

anyway, I managed to get an idea of sth to blog, because recently I juz extracted some video to share with ppl, which was what I wanted to do for a long time, but was lazy... so I thot I'd upload it as well ;-) but then I changed my mind bcos it'll be copyrighted & stuff, so I juz looked for it on youtube lol




this is Lifted... the 1st one I watched... it's funny, but I feel it's sadistic at the same time ^^;



this is geri's game... it's ok, not that funny in a slapstick way, but I thot it was quite interesting...



this is one man brand... the only one I saw long ago actually... I thot the girl was funny, & it was not bad also... especially the end ^^




& this is my fav. , for the birds XD cos the birds are cute & funny, & they remind me of human nature, & I liked the other big bird in it too, but I felt the birds were kinda mean, so there was justice in the end lol

& that's it... I hear thunder edi O_O;;;; hope you enjoyed the comedy~ ;-)

Taste - matter of opinion

Also, I dunno how many ppl are like me in this way, but if I liked a song a lot, I’d want to share it. I’d want other ppl to listen to it, & hope that they like it too. Unfortunately, it seems that either the songs I like are really not that great, or that I’m living with the wrong ppl, because nobody seems to particularly like them the way I do. The only ppl who I can find, & I did (starting from 2006, which was 3 years after that), was online, & that’s about it. Still, it made me happy to know that many other ppl like those songs as well as me, & it was a nice feeling.

Still, I dunno why, sometimes I feel the need to share the song with someone whom I know offline, but I’ve pretty much given up at that, because nobody’s really interested to listen, & nobody shares that particular interest with me T_T

So, the reason why I’m blogging this is because I wanna say sth, but also because I decided to keep the happiness of listening to the songs by myself. As in, although I may feel that it’s selfish or sth like that, it’s not really so because other ppl that I know wouldn’t appreciate them anyway, so what for put the effort of sharing?

It’s like, my dad said sth recently, which made me realise something which I didn’t like. I forgot what I did, but it was to do with a song, & I asked him how is it, & he asked why. & I was saying, no particular reason, but he didn’t believe me, & maybe it was because of the way I asked, but he was in that mood anyway (the kinda mood that’s analysing ppl more than usual), so he was saying that there could be a few reasons, but one of them is as though I want his approval. & that didn’t sound very nice. But I had this horrid feeling it was true, even though I denied it outright. It feels kinda pathetic to want his approval, after all his years, that I’d want him to say that the song is nice, or that my taste is not bad, or sth similar. So because I realised it, I must stop doing that kinda thing ^^;

Another thing that happened recently, which is actually the main point of this blog, because it’s the reason I wanted to blog this, is because there was someone close to me that always listened to my songs. You see, I asked her, whether she’d be ok listening to my songs, & she said she won’t mind, as long as they’re not noisy (because the kinda songs I like listening to are quite noisy, but not all of them).

So I’d let her listen to them, & most of the time she wouldn’t say anything about them, but sometimes she’d comment that they’re quite nice, or not bad, & that made me very happy. & I’d try to let her listen to those songs that I liked that may be similar to the ones she commented, if she liked the same style.

But she hurt my feelings recently, & it’s been a long time since I’ve been hurt so badly that I feel I’m still recovering, but at least I’m half glad that happened, because she was saying how she felt, & I’m glad she told me the truth even though she hid it for so long, & I was determined to never make her listen to my songs ever again, although that didn’t actually happen because it’s hard to break habits, but it is sort of being broken, because she hasn’t listened to my songs much after that, just once or twice. & when I think of letting her hear my songs, I can’t help remembering what she said.

Anyway, what happened was, I was letting her listen to some songs, & I was like, “Not bad, rite?” in a very happy way. & she said not bad, much better than some songs I let her hear last time which were really horrible. & when she said that, I wasn’t too happy, but I wanted to know which songs they were (& I was trying to guess), but obviously she didn’t remember cos she doesn’t pay that much attention to my songs anway, but she said that they were really horrible & tuneless, & also all noise sometimes (which may be true, but not in my opinion), & she said that at those times, or last time, she couldn’t help feeling that my dad was right, & that I really don’t have any taste in music (yes, he really said that to me).

So I couldn’t help feeling, why didn’t she tell me at that time when I was playing the songs that they were horrible, or that she didn’t like them? If she said that, I would’ve stopped playing it, & changed songs, & it’s not like it’d hurt my feelings. & now only she says all this, when she’s been listening to my songs all this while. If she said it earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered her with my lousy songs anymore. What really hurt my feelings is that she said I have no taste. That made me very angry also at the same time. I mean, think of someone saying to you, “You have no taste.” It’s like saying that you have no taste in clothes, or something like that. Guys may not make a big deal of that, but it’s just an example, the matter of taste can be applied to a lotta other things. I can’t help thinking of the “no taste in guys/girls” just because you say you like someone, but it may still not apply to some ppl ^^;

Anyway, I hope you get my point. Taste is a matter of opinion. So I’ll keep my opinion to myself about my songs (I always have anyway, just not to her, so at least now I know). & I hope you know that some things said can hurt ppl a lot, without you realising it, but you should know that, because that’s normal. The only problem is knowing what would hurt other ppl’s feelings, because this may not have hurt other ppl, but it hurt me.

Also, some things I said in the beginning of the post may not have seemed relevant to you, but it was relevant enough to me, & this may sound weird, but I feel that every sentence I said, has a meaning, in a way. That’d show what kind of a person I am, or sth like that. & if you didn’t really see any meaning to it, it’s ok, it doesn’t really matter, so you don’t have to crack your head finding a meaning for each sentence. But maybe I’ve been trying to analyse ppl too much, but the reason why ppl say or do things normally have a meaning. If they don’t know why they said or do that, then that means they either don’t know themselves very well, or there really isn’t a meaning for some things, & they can just pass you by. But maybe I’m just oversensitive, but it’s not like I really ask someone after every single sentence what they really meant by that (which is what my dad did to me sometimes, & it’s quite irritating trying to give him a reason, & him arguing about it).

I’d like to give an example for that, but none come to my mind atm, & I’d like to give a good example that isn’t negative & mean, so if I remember a good one, I’ll blog about it next time, since this can be quite an interesting topic.

Anyway, I wrote quite long this time, but it’s ok, since my exams ended & I should have the time after the exam to relax & write something, but I’m sorry that this is not a happy post, but that’s life, & I want to write a not happy post once in a long while, just to show that I’m human, & that I’m obviously not happy all the time, but it’s funny that I’m writing this, since it happened over a month ago, but it’s just that I decided to write this, so that’s why I didn’t forget about it. But I realised that writing this kinda post is not good, especially when you weren’t in the mood to write it, because it’d affect your mood after that ^^;


& altho my topic is about matter of taste, I was thinking that I was only thinking about music, & even then, there were a lotta things to say... but the only other topic I could think about was taste in guys, & I don't wanna go into that lol ;-P


also, I'll be going to Singapore! XD for 3 days, coming back on monday~ it's been so long since I've been to singapore, last time was probably when I was a baby... ^^; so, am a bit excited hahaha ;-)
