No Sense of Instructions?

Some people have no sense of direction. But I'm different(again). Rather than giving me that, God has somehow gifted me with no 'sense of (written) instructions'.

And what do I mean by that?

You know those 'one-way' doors? The ones which(I suspect) have makers too lazy to make the doors open both ways so it can either pulled or pushed. Because of that stupid feature, these doors have to have a sign that says "push" or "pull".

Now, I'm not illiterate. But for reasons I don't understand, I will come to a 'one-way' door, read the sign that clearly says "Push", and...
You guessed it. Pull the door.

You probably will think "what's the deal, I do that too", but do you do that 80% of the time? Even when you look carefully at the sign before push/pulling?
Thought not.

Another example which I won't elaborate so much on is worksheet instructions.

Do not open?(Opens booklet)

Almost 70% of the time, if I don't stop and think, I would do the exact opposite of what the instructions on a worksheet tell me to do. Circle? I underline. Do in exercise book? I do on the paper. Choose the ones in red? i choose the ones in green. :P

This is getting almost as bad as having no sense of direction.

Men and Women, Dogs and Cats

Before starting, I want to apologise for taking so long to update. Once again don't blame me...

First off, this is not part of the BIG OLD argument about whether men or women are better. I know, it's a surprise, but no, it isn't. So get out of this blog if you're a 'female defender' who found this title on Google and came hoping to argue with me.

Back to the point.

As some(ok, many) people have noticed, men and women are so not alike each other, there's literally nothing else in the universe that has as many differences as them. But what less people have noticed is they are a bit like cats and dogs.
No, seriously.

Men-Dog

P.S. : I know it's not a very good example of a man, but it'll have to do.

My logic goes right down to the popular idiom, "Dog is a man's best friend."

Now, think about your friends and consider this: Don't they each have one common factor with you? So in the same way, if dogs are men's best friend then they must have some common things with man too.

Men are loud. They are(some of them) messy at times. They like to play around and basically have fun. All this sound familiar?

Men are more athletic. They can also be quite naughty at times, and can be a bit rough.

See? A typical man and dog have the same qualities. Remember, I'm talking about 'in general' here.

Women-Cat

I know, it's not a perfect specimen of a women either. Oh well...

Ok, so there's no fancy idiom for women and cats, but note that most cat owners are women.

Women care greatly about appearance. They appear to be good and quiet in front of you-read Jit Sin girls in front of teacher-but you have no idea about what they're up to behind you. They can be quite sly, but they're quite cute. Most, anyway.

Cats are all the above too.

Conclusion: Forget horoscopes, race and religion etc classification. Use the Terence Classification method: Cats and Dogs.

That's all for now. I'm off to prepare to prepare my Minggu Bahasa presentation; Jit Sin students support me during the weekly assembly on April 23!

Terence Wang is off to prepare his speech.

Translations

I know, I know, lots of you are complaining because my posts are all in English and you can't understand them.

So please, for the LAST time, there's an application called Google Translate. Find it and use it. The results my be really funny at times, but it serves it's purpose.

Thank you and I hope you will (not) have a nice day.

Brands and Trends

Pressure to use and follow all things trendy and popular has been around for too long. Terence goes against the flow.

Brands and trends. Nice rhyme there.

Anyway, something has recently caught my attention. Maybe it should have done so earlier as that was one of the things I wrote about in The BMW and Mercerdes article. So I'm not observant and I like to sleep; anything wrong?

I'm not sure how long this has been going on (my guess 20-30 years). What I'm talking about is the craze for famous and prestige brands. Examples: Ferrari. Addidas. Stuff like that.

Nowadays, people are crazier than ever, especially teens. Everyone wants to be seen with the latest Burberry handbag. Or with that new iPhone.

This is not just limited to products, either. Nowadays, people who don't know about celebrities/football teams will just choose the most popular one, rather than admit that they know nothing about them.

This would all be fine if good brands made good things all the time. Obviously, it can't. But even when Nike makes a useless pair of shoes, people still buy it, because it's Nike. People will buy the stupid Merc B-Class because it's a Merc(Mercedes have been clever in doing that). And people still love Miley Cyrus even when she makes terrible songs(wait a minute, they're always terrible), because "she's Miley and she's so hot".

Yes, yes I know I listen to Linkin Park even when they're crap. Guilty.

But all this isn't healthy, to say the least.
What if, just what if, BMW one day made cars with Proton quality? And people still bought them for the badge? Imagine that, times every industry on the planet. The entertainment industry has already got it. How else did we get singers like the Jonas Brothers?

Is this our future? A future where we all mindlessly follow what's 'in and trendy'? Even the things that are 'in and trendy' have no taste?

As American Idol used to say, the power is in your hands. And I beg all you people out there, please don't be stupid.

Easter Vigil 2010

I and my family attended the Easter Vigil yesterday, as we do, well, almost every year. The difference is I brought my new camera along. Well, duh, I couldn't bring it last year, because I like, didn't buy it yet??

Anyway, to all my friends out there, regardless whether you're Christian or not, Happy Easter.

Somebody call 911... Big fire burning in the church ground...

Err... this one's a bit too blur

Right before mass started

Lots of candles...

More candles...

My own candle (I know you're getting fed up about the candles, sorry)...

... so here's a cross. The main cross, in fact.

That is all, enjoy your Easter.

What?! (Totally Random)

Photography: My camera

Before I start, let me introduce y'all to my class teacher, Pn. Indira Gandhi. She's also our Sejarah teacher.

What do you mean you don't believe it? Why don't you??!!

Ok never mind. Here's proof.

Satisfied?

Anyway, imagine how I (and my classmates later on) felt when we saw this...

Enough said.
