Greetings

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, behold ! Today, at this moment, you are about to witness something extraordinary, so extraordinary that green men, blue men, men that fly, pigs that fly, seem ordinary.

Its......its.....is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? No, its superman ! No, wrong again, its a Blogpost, a Blogpost by Shandy the Chilled, Defender of Laziness, Protector of Boredom, Knight of Procrastination, Author of Nonsense !

Thats all folks...(and the curtains were drawn, the show ended)

Oh by the way, I'll be posting photos up soon, on this blog probably, and make this blog alive again ! But this blog layout sucks, and I cant bring myself to make even a new banner, what more a new layout, so just bear with the sucky layout. Thank you for your patience.

Untitled

XX October 20XX
12:54am

Its a dark humid night, occasional cries from drops of water clashing with other surfaces could still be heard. Once in a while there would also be pitiful cries that sound like they come from some small animal, a dog perhaps ? Or could it be a cat ? Cries that sound to me like cries of agony, lamenting the cruelty of the world around them, the world of humans, a world detached from the natural wild, a world where food and shelter do not come easy, a world where they have been abandoned. But I ignore those cries, what could I possibly do ? Call me cruel, but you would have done the same.

The only visible electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 380–750 nm around me comes from the screen in front of me, and from the street light in that back alley my room oversees. No. I don't live in an underground basement. Although it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I actually did.

It is in this room that I watch, the coming and going of people. That old lady and her friends, long past their primes, but still playing a meaningful role in society, caring for their families with love, out marketing so that they can have lunch and dinner prepared to satiate their sons or daughters or in-laws or grandchildren with the most nutritious, mouth watering dishes. Probably.

And I watch the little children, trotting to follow their parents or grandparents, some would be unhappy, being lectured by their elders, some delighted by chance to experience through their senses what they do not get to experience in their homes, the beauty of the world. Ah, those blissful children who now only see the good side of things, enjoy this moment, for there will be a time where you grow up. And grown up see things rather differently...

And the cooks, the Indonesian who does the cleaning and washing of dishes, the family who owns the sundry shop, the lorry drivers, the laborers carrying gas tanks up and down the lorries, the office workers...All getting on with their jobs. They sing, they hum to the melodies of the music from the radio, or music from my computer speakers. They joke with each other and laugh manically. They contribute to society, they lead meaningful lives. But the world spins on, and how would they be remembered as ?

Why did I type all that you wonder...I wonder too...

The rain is falling again, I'll retreat into my dreams for now. I can only pray that the world is still around when I wake up, and that I can do many many questions of maths, and for me to have the resolve to fight the evil which is dota.

Sheng Di: Sure is fun, as fun as slaughtering bunnies =D
Sheng Di: Eww, thats not fun at all, how could that ever be fun ? You're evil and demented..
Sheng Di: Aww, is was just some random thought, I've never slaughtered bunnies before, I wouldn't know how fun doing that is, but I wonder..tee hee hee =D
Sheng Di: Hey this is a blog, people don't type nonsense like that in this blog.
Sheng Di: Ah but this is a private blog that you and I only have access to, there is no one here to read this, then think how stupid this is, then comment about how stupid this is...I mean no one else besides us here...teeheehee... =D
Sheng Di: We really should be typing something else..
Sheng Di: Like what ?
Sheng Di: I know I know ! Lets copy pasta some random quotes here =D It would be great fun !
Sheng Di: Weeeeee, sure lets do it =DD !

Dum dee dum dee dum ~ la la la ~

"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes."

"I am not a happy man, Ender. Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, then happiness as we can manage it. So, Ender, I hope you do not bore me during your training with complaints that you are not having fun. Take what pleasure you can in the interstices of your work, but your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing. When you can give me back my dead wife, Ender, then you can complain to me about what this education costs you."

-Mazer Rackham

-"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them-"
-"You beat them."
- Ender and Valentine

"Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing's the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would own the earth."
- Valentine to Ender

("Ender's Game")

Du du du ~ du dee ~

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
-Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.

"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic."

"Mood? What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises — no matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting."

("Dune")

"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."

"Life is a journey, but don't worry, you'll find a parking spot at the end."

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -Foundation series

"Intelligence is an extremely subtle concept. It's a kind of understanding that flourishes if it's combined with a good memory, but exists anyway even in the absence of good memory. It's the ability to draw consequences from causes, to make correct inferences, to foresee what might be the result, to work out logical problems, to be reasonable, rational, to have the ability to understand the solution from perhaps insufficient information. You know when a person is intelligent, but you can be easily fooled if you are not yourself intelligent."

"[The dignity of the human species] will be completely destroyed [if the population growth continues at its present rate]. I use what I call the bathroom metaphor: if two people live in an apartment and there are two bathrooms, then both have freedom of the bathroom. You can go to the bathroom anytime you want to stay as long as you like for whatever you need. But if you have twenty people in the apartment and two bathrooms, no matter how much every person believes in freedom of the bathroom, there is no such thing. You have to set up times for each person; you have to bang on the door, “Aren’t you done yet?” In the same way, democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive. Convenience and decency can’t survive. As you put more and more people onto the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn’t matter if someone dies, the more people there are, the less one person matters."

"Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers."

-Isaac Asimov

"I've seen excitement, and I've seen boredom. And boredom was best."

"Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying."

"The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp."

"Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man healthy, wealthy and dead."

"Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten."

"Do unto others before they do unto you."

91 words

Speed test



Aha, my third try. I got 81 and 82 words for my first and second try respectively, must've gotten shorter words for the third try or something, cause the number of characters typed is the same, and I only got a score of 371...

Lost Time

I thought I could study if I choose not to play DotA, but real life isn't that easy. So, instead of gaming, I wasted my day doing other pointless stuff, like making this stupid picture.

Sigh, what should I do...Someone save me please...

Meaningless and Pointless

I'm bored, bored and bored. And this post is written just because of that. This random meaningless pointless post is here because I feel like it. But it really is quite hard to type a nicely done post filled with meaningless pointless yet comprehensible words, some people have the capability to do it, but definitely not me, after all, I'm just an average person, maybe even slightly below average.

But then again, I don't really care, it doesn't matter anyway, life can still be enjoyed by below average people. Hmm, this post is getting more and more messed up, it kind of reveals the state my mind is in now. I'm just randomly typing stuff into here, whatever that comes into my mind, I type out.

Sigh, I used to believe that there's always the chance of supernatural things happening to me, even though deep down I know that no such thing will happen.For example, I thought there is always a chance that I would be drag into an intergalactic space battle, and play a crucial role in helping the good guys win, or there could be a chance that the drawer on my desk is actually a time machine, then I would go on fun adventures through time, together with some blue robot.

After 17 years, I'm somewhat convinced that fantasy will remain just as that, fantasy. Why, you ask me ? Because I've been through 17 years of ordinary life, no physics defying phenomena has ever occurred around me, or least I have not noticed any around me. Life goes on as usual, time flies past as usual, and I continue my monotonous life as usual. And my wishful thinking remains as wishful thinking, first of all, it is only the media: books, movies and games that creates the thought that something like this has a chance of happening, and the odds of anything resembling a science fiction or fantasy story happening to me is so low its impossible, and even if it does occur, I wouldn't have the skill or ability or luck of the main characters in those stories to survive, those people survive because their authors make them do so, if only I had an author...

4 paragraphs of meaningless pointless yet comprehensible sentences, I'm starting to feel proud of myself, and I feel motivated. I shall write more ! Coming up next....I can't think of anything for now, give me a few minutes to gain some inspiration.

I shall now discuss about the empty, hopeless, depressed and lonely feeling people sometimes experience, like what I'm experiencing now. Some people call it feeling lonely, some call it feeling emo, and some call it feeling depressed, but seems to me that they are all one and the same. It strikes without warning, without reason, at least for me. And some people are very prone to it, some are more resistant towards it, whereas some are somewhat immune towards it.

Argh what the hell I just wasted all that time typing all that crap. To anyone who actually read what I typed, I'm impressed, reading all that must've been agonizing. Thank you and goodbye !

Photographs

Yea, another update at last, but this post is going to be a short one. I originally intended to write a long boring monologue about my inner thoughts, seems like I won't be doing that anytime soon, for a couple of reasons, the main one being that I'm too lazy to do something like that.

I took my dad's camera out to play around with it a little today, snapped quite a few pictures, most of the pictures I took aren't nice at all, therefore I'll only be posting 3 photos out today.


Serious handshake there, I used shutter priority and set shutter speed to 2s, proper use of shutter priority is somewhat explained here.

Aliens invading the road in front of my house !! Well, I got bored and decided to play with photoshop instead =P

Chronicles of a driving test

So, today I went for my driving test, and since there was a request for me to write something into my blog, I'll do just that.

Congrats to those who took the test and passed, quite a lot of you took the test today, although some of you in a different location, and to those who didn't pass or are taking it sometime later, good luck and all the best =D.

Since I've got nothing original to provide, I'll write a transcript of part of the conversation that happened between me and the invigilator during the first test.

After I got on to the car, and before I started driving, I struggled quite a little to put down the handbrake, mainly because I was not familiar with the handbrake and also because of my nervousness. And after a full minute of wrestling with that damned handbrake, I managed to put it down and move. And then the following conversation happened, with some boring parts taken off, and my thoughts in italics.

_________________________________________________________________

Invigilator: Kau laki keh pompuan?

Me: ...?

Invigilator: Kau laki keh pompuan ? Handbrake pun tak boleh turun ?

Me: (He's insulting me ._.) ...

Invigilator: Laki keh pompuan ?

Me: *am tes* Lelaki !

Invigilator: Ya, macam ni la !

Me: ...

Sometime later...

Invigilator: Kau dah kahwin tak ?

Me: Huh ?

Invigilator: Kau dah kahwin tak ?

Me: *stares at him* Huh ?

Invigilator: Kahwin ah kahwin...

Me: Ermm, tak...

Invigilator: Kamu umur brapa ? *checks my IC* hmm tahun 1990...

Me: Tujuh belas...

Invigilator: Umur tujuh belas dah boleh kahwin kau tau tak ? Ada orang umur tujuh belas dah kahwin.

Me: Err...*nods heads*

Invigilator: Kau ada chah bor tak ?

Me: (wtf ?!) Takda...

Invigilator: Takda ah ? Betul takda ?

Me: =.= Takda.

Invigilator: Mau saya kenalkan chah bor bagi kau tak ?

Me: (wtf is wrong with this guy ??!!) Tak mau.

Then, while reaching the driving school...

Invigilator: Tengok kau takut sangat saje, kenapa takut sangat ? Takkan saya nak makan kau ?

Me: ...

_________________________________________________________________

Well, seems to me that being an invigilator for driving tests is a boring job or something, so those people get their entertainment for the day by messing with the poor candidates trying to pass their driving tests, people like me...

Dear readers of this blog (if there are any at all), do please give your thoughts and comments on what I wrote, I'm bored.

First Post !!!11one!11!


Finally, I've decided to start typing for this blog, I've been putting this off for a long time. I had a few great ideas on what to type, but sadly, due to the procrastination I have been doing, I don't remember any of them. Oh well, now, I'm typing this on impulse, and I have no idea what I should type at all. Lets see, most people type about their thoughts, their life or post humorous stuff on their blogs, so why not I try doing all 3 today ? All in one post, with 3-in-1 goodness...



Topic One: Thoughts

You might not be wondering why I started this post, but I'll still type it out here, whether you like it or not, the only reason for that being I can't think of anything else to type about under this topic.

So, I'll start typing out generic reasons for starting this blog now. I started this blog to practice writing, and to just write out whatever nonsense that creeps into my mind so I can sleep in peace at night. A few months ago, I came to realize that my English sucks, my writing sucks, and I can't write to save my life. So here I am, a few months later, trying to do something to remedy that problem of mine. For the other reason, well, sometimes I get thoughts like "Why is the earth a sphere ? Why is it not a disc instead ?" when I try to sleep, now this blog can be a place for me to type crap like that when they come into my mind.

Hmm, topic one done, and I don't like what I typed, its a failure, but there is no point in brooding over a failure, is there ? Therefore, on to the next topic !


Topic Two: Life


Since today is not over yet, I shall write about what I did yesterday !

Yesterday, I woke up around 10 o'clock, washed up, ate breakfast, then sat in front of the pc, after that I went for lunch, when I came back, I sat in front of the pc again until dinnertime, which is when I went to get dinner, after dinner I sat in front of the pc again, and then about 12 o'clock I went to sleep. Basically, what I did yesterday can be summarized into a flow chart like this:

Alright, that was sad, I don't want to think about this anymore, another miserable failure on the list. Next.


Topic Three: Humor

Now now, being the dull person that I am, you can't possibly expect me to think and write something humorous right ? And they say that plagiarism saves time...

So after countless seconds on Youtube, I found a funny video, enjoy. But before you start watching, the F word is used A LOT in this video, so be careful, in case your parents are around or something...
