Timshel!

I don't really have anything in particular to really ponder about. Because of my teeth aching? I speculate. Certainty lies merely in the fact that I really should see a dentist. Sometime this century if possible.

So I was reading East of Eden a couple months back, and in the book is spoke of a word timshel , thou mayeht. I found it intriguing. The relevant story line, as I recall it, was when these bunch of guys (I won't really go into names, cause unless you've read the book one won't really know) were talking about sin and the bible and its interpretation of sin and repentance. And one of the most profound things I remembered being mentioned was the fact that change was our own choice and that the true power lies in the fact that we want to make a change as opposed to the 'have to' approach. It may seem trivial but I think we forget so much sometimes. Sometimes I think we give god or the bible too much credit and sometimes we think too much of these scriptures that when we actually achieve something we don't stop back and think "Wait, I did some shit too.." and I think too much has been borne out of complacency. Much the same way that what we do is a testament of what happens, what we DON'T do is also a reflection of our idleness. Too much is being put on god and too little upon ourselves. I think we sometimes forget that the only people on this earth RIGHT NOW is us.

I don't dispute the importance of scriptures, seeing as much of the modern constitutions of any nation is based on these scriptures. But I think its like a good book. You take it in, analyze it and we CAN NOT be afraid to CRITICIZE it. Then again, disagreeance among scholars is what sparked civil wars in the first place. Of course, I'm pretty sure, tax plays a big part in most of the wars as well.

Thats it I suppose. Its getting late unfortunately so what else I have to say, some other time will you hear it. Having said that, Steinbeck is cool man...even after he's gone..I guess I did have something to blog about.

Okay. What happened. Got back most of our assignments. Don't want to talk about them.

My SIM card is fucked. I think so is my phone. Either way, its both fucked.

My com is also fucked. Joy.

Quickbook sucks.

Ah, yeah thats bout it really.

I'll entertain with a joke seeing as those last few sentences wasn't exactly...er....pleasant.

Mathematician.
Parrot dies.
What happened?
"Polynomial. Polygon."


There are 10 types of people.
People who can do binary and people who can't.

Yeah, thats all I got, courtesy of my math lecturer. The first one took me a while but its still pretty funny. Think word play.



As a finale.

You know there comes a point in every man's life where he would start of a sentence with those exact words. Fortunately for me, that point in my life hasn't quite arrived yet. I thought I'd just drop that phrase in.

So what has happened. Ah I don't know. Nothing much has happened really. I've been caught up with assignments as is everyone I assume. Unless you're not in uni which is a different case. In which case you'd also have to be studying cause chances are you have A levels exams. Joy!

However, I highly doubt raving on and on on my assignments is really what we want to read about. SO what to blog about?

I don't know what to blog about. I think I'm in silent refusal to think. So, I'll entertain with youtube.


Make sure you listen to the last part, where he holds the 'home'. Bellisimmo!

tilt

Jia lak.

Uni freaking rules man!

Since uni started I have:

  1. Used up nearly a reel's worth of paper printing a whole lot of shit.
  2. Somehow or another caused my com to crash.
  3. Read
  4. Read
  5. Math
  6. Math
  7. Math
  8. Math
  9. MATH!!!!!!!

On a lighter note, did you know that Hugh Hefner at one point of his life had 7 girlfriends? What would you do with 7 girlfriends? Why would you want 7 girlfriends at one time anyway? I suppose its different for him. The querks of being Hugh Hefner eh. I'm sure I have more to say besides "Geez he's Hugh Hefner so its fine for him to have 7 girlfriends" but honestly I'm way too tired to think.

And all I CAN think about at the moment is GST and whether to clasify it under payables or receivables and whether its an asset or liability and how to prepare a fanancial statement. And how a perfectly competative market fails and what are the externalities which cause market failiure. And how Dworkin's take on liberalism compares to the so called accepted views of liberalism and how/if it deffers to conservetism. And how Locke's theory on property compares to Machiavelli's take on power and ownership. How institutions effect polity and why. How the classical view of democracy is applied to a republic/monarchy. And...math which is not worth mentioning cause we'd just run out of space.

And I'm in the 3rd week. Joy. No I haven't meet any cute guys Beve thus I can't give you their numbers. The faculty is so big anyway, its hard to make contact. Ah excuses eh.

I want to play golf. I want a new set of irons. I want a Gibson les paul. I need to study. *sigh*

EDIT: I LOVE TORRES!!!!!!

Post 100

Blogs are dying now. Except for people who get paid to blog and people who are into blogging, which the number has significantly decreased one has to say, the blog fad has, I believe, all but past. You may ask yourself then, the people who read my blog, which numbers are also gravely diminishing- hovering somewhere between the zero and one reader per month zone-why am I blogging? Am I a hypocrite? Or am I a frequent blogger in which the word frequent translates to blogging every other month? The propriety of blogging would unofficially bind thee to at least updating one's blog for the mere sake of propriety. But then again, ethics in the blog sphere never really meant much now did it. Ergo, the only possible reason why I am blogging, rather why I have resorted to blogging, is simply because I am bored. Cliche? Very much so. But as anyone who has a blog-own would be improper simply because one does not "own" cyberspace, one merely occupies a insignificantly small proportion of cyberspace- it's my bloody blog. Then again, who really cares, seriously.

So the world is starting again. Its been on somewhat of a hiatus, for me personally of course. But lately its been cranking up its machine. Its as if the engine stalled for a while and now its back to the first gear. But I digress. The fact is, university, not such a big deal to me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to be in university but thats about it. Impartiality? I reckon sometimes I'm too impartial. But as they say thats that. Won't really have much to say until university actually starts.

On a complete tangent, I've realised, or rather my mother has pointed it out to me, that petrol prices in Melbourne-and the greater part or Australia I believe- fluctuates weekly with a particular peak on Wednesday afternoons. I find that extremely intriguing. And it does not fluctuate a mere one or two cents but in certain instances by a margin of 10 cents or more per liter. That might not seem much but anyone who knows anything about cars and pumping petrol, 10 cents can translate to a lot of moolah better spent on a meal or Krispy Kreme's or Jester pie's. I've always suspected it had something to do with the weekly distribution of petrol which oddly enough happens on Wednesdays. My question is, why Wednesdays? What happened to Mondays? Maybe the traffic's less heavy on Wednesdays, or the tolls cheaper or the prices of diesel fuel which in turn ensures the continuity of the vicious Wednesday cycle. Maybe I'll be hearing more of this in my future macroeconomy class. Interesting.

I think thats it for now really. I've gotta go pump some petrol now, before the prices start to hike up again in which case I would spend needless amounts of money on petrol which could be better off spent on golf. So until next time then.

P.S. Steph I reckon you're pretty spot on about Ron Paul. He's a pretty decent candidate but as to whether the Americans would trust a Republican remains to be seen. I still say the real difference in opinions really are between the Republicans and Democrats that the little nuances within the party aren't really worth mentioning and it really boils down to who the American public would prefer more-in the case of the Democrats an African American or a lady.

San Francisco. Mum says she wants to go there this year. Was pretty shocked myself really. Cause I've never been able to convince my mum to go to the States. But thats cool. Because I've always ALWAYS wanted to go to California. And if we stopped by New York, that would literally make my day. But not likely. She said she wants to go from San Fran to LA to Las Vegas. Which frankly suits me just fine.

I think it'd be great to live in those cities. The town and the culture and the whole place just being so big. But thats a good 5-6 years away I reckon.

Thats that. Melbourne is boring my brains out. But then again so is KL. At least I'll have a car here. I think I won't be staying here long. Studying here's alright. But working. Not too sure bout that.

Meh. Gonna go to the crapper now. Till then.

Er..home?

So I'm back apparently. From Australia and from UK. In short, London was great. Nay it was utterly awesome. Only downside. No Liverpool, which is all cases was a bit too expensive for my liking to be honest AND I dind't get an "I love London" shirt. *note to self, always ALWAYS follow your own advice....no pun intended Beve...ok yea maybe a little* BUT other than that it was great. I've got a few pics but uploading it on this computer with my shit-uped connection is a very very bad idea.

Anyway, I've been trying to keep up with the news of late and it seems the scandals and blackmails just never seem to stop. If anything, its growing, exponentially, linearly, quadratically, cubicly in the end sorta giving it a whole chaos theory-esque look to the whole situation. I particularly found it amazing when I was in London and the sex scandal between the Health Minister and a certain lady who he 'claimed to know' but 'didn't have sex with' only to later confirm that he did- became news. I mean its one thing to be mentioned in a newspaper let alone a newspaper about 7000 km away from home. It really goes to show that no matter what, sex will ALWAYS sell, and I quote someone who quoted someone who got it off the papers I think "Many people do it, they just don't get caught." How true indeed.

In this day and age I suppose infidelity has become some what of a norm. To think that 10 years ago it was taboo to be talked about openly and to a certain extent it is still but people are more willing to accpet(?) it. I think, its become such an openly talked about issue that we don't really squint anymore when we talk about it. I think I still remember back then when we talked of affairs as a cardinal sin, but now, its been so down played by movies and scadals all portraying such acts of dishonesty that it just passes us by and is just as quickly dismissed. We don't linger round the fact that someone slept with someone else while still commited to someone else, we just, accept it. Its different if your directly affected of course. I can't even begin to imagine the shit one'd go through. But all the same, things ain't the same no more *inserts voice of a soul sister saying "Nu-uh it ain't girl" in background, echoing away*

Anyway I'm back, untill the 30th for those of you who are curious which I am sure are few seeing as no one reads anymore. I don't think anyone really knows I'm back apart from the people who I've already seen which all adds up too.....3 plus Sam plus Wei Lim plus Beve and Steph which is......3+1+1+1+1=..........7. Took quite a while, bit rusty. So call me, tag me, facebook me or something. SAVE ME FROM BOREDOME!!!!!!

Well, thats that, till next time.

PS. I'll post pics when I get back to my super fast and super chunted ADSL2+ with 100mbs connection.

PPS. I'm a uni boy now, or should I say UNI-MAN, sounds like an organism or a subclass of a genere you find in a biologist or a zoologist's log book.

PPPS. Beverly! Can you buy me the "I love London" shirt please!!

PPPPS. I'm looking for Andy Warhol's books specifically on Pop Art, help anyone?

PPPPPS. Nothing really I just thought it was bad luck to end the post with 4 "P's"

Friday, December 21, 2007

I swear people are either falling in 'love' or falling out of 'love'. Its gotta do with the festive season I reckon, and the exams. Meh, for people in the sidelines its just another day.

Besides the mental note, I am bored.

BORED!!!!

Bored, bored, bored, bored. Bored stiff. I've been watching TV. Thats it. I watch TV like 13 hours a day. Serious shit man. In trying to curb my boredom I've reread the HP Deathly Hollows book which was mildly entertaining for a few days. But now I'm bored again. You know, I never really realised how big an impact the book had on us. I mean, before the 7th book, the HP series was really something to look forward too. Not anymore I guess. And the movie's always below par.

Speaking of movies, I watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age the other day. Not too bad. The first installment wasn't too bad and I like Cate Blanchett. I thought she was just so radiant in the movie. It was as if they portrayed her as a flawed goddess. Meh, go watch it if you want to I don't really care now. So stoned.

Back in a week. Till then.



I want this for Zippo lighter for Christmas. And who says you have to smoke to get one eh?

Saturday, December 15, 2007

Feeling a bit lightheaded. My cousin had her 19th today. technically its supposed to be on the 18th of December but being partly Chinese, decided its better to celebrate earlier rather than later. Good food and TONNES of booze. Practically free flowing alcohol. I swear my cousin's a bit nuts. She mixed I think 2 bottles of Smirnoff, some Malibu, and some champagne, plus a carton of orange juice and called it a punch. Shit man, I felt it on the first sip. The food was pretty good. My aunt makes the best satay chicken and barbee's man. Other than that it was relatively boring to be honest. Its pretty much like a small ang mo congregation, with food and booze to keep them occupied.

On another note, the London trip has hit a bit of a bump. Basically means I have to fork out some extra cash for my stay in London. Seeing as Beve won't be able to hold me the entire 12 days, I have to crash in a hostel. Which I really don't mind. I figure it'd be pretty cool. Sorta like an adventure. First time I'ma be alone touring in a foreign city. Should be pretty fun. Looking forward to the trip. Not quite sure what to expect while living in a hostel to be honest. I reckon it shouldn't be too bad. Only down side is, its winter, so its pretty cold and it gets dark pretty soon. But its cool.

Results coming out in a couple of days. Definitely not looking forward to that. Shit. Head feels a bit heavy now. Ah well. Bout a week and a half till I go back to KL now and then its straight off to London. Well. Till next time eh..

Shot through the heart

Boredom kills. I've been slowly roting in my new house. Its boring me to shits here I tell you. Thank God for Foxtel. Other than that its alright really the place. I mean, sure, it takes an hour to get to town by tram and it takes half an hour to get to the tram stop. But it could be worse right? Meh, I remember why I hate this place so much again. Honestly, this place is shit. Its not close to anything and far away from everything. I think the day i move to the suburbs on my own account will be the day I get married or something like that. But I suppose I can understand why we'd want to move to the suburbs. Town life has never really catered to mum's pallets. Then again, hate is a bit too much I'd say. I just don't really fancy it. Meh bygones.

Going to London soon. Oh yeah!! XD Its gonna be pretty sweet. Only down side is I suppose Beve's gonna have exams. So I'll be on my own. Which is alright I guess. So currently focusing on the preparations. Sort off. Tonnes of places to see, so little time. Neways thats that from me. My internet is shit now. I miss my super fast ADSL2+ broadband. Stupid house that doesn't have ADSL broadband. Till then.

O physics. The joys of Newton and Lenz.

Shit man!! 3 more to go!! Suck it in bitch and knock 'em dead!!!

The joys of exams

Its amazing what exams do to you honestly. I was just, well not just, but I was talking to Ai Lin-I think there's no hyphen in your name right Lin?-and we both just admitted that we've been practically watching movie's for the better part of the week instead of studying. Weird.

Anyway, in keeping with the tradition I went for a movie today. I think its the first time I've been to a cinema since.....July I think, when I watched Transformers with Mira, which is a pretty damn long time ago. Putting aside the obvious I went for a political thriller this time.


I must admit, when I heard of this film I was pretty excited. Meryl Streep? Tom Cruise? Robert Redford? It don't get better than this....right?


The script was good, acting top draw but I was waiting to be stunned. It nearly got there. But not quite. Honestly I was never much of a Cruise fan. I think that the media and the weight of the show always played him in but somehow he just always manages to make it work, barely. Though this was a different genre all together I felt he did the same. But I liked his intensity and the way he really got into his character this time round. I thought the star had to be Meryl Streep, irrefutable.

Its a good film if your into politics and political thrillers. It caters more to the American public as the film really revolves around the war on terrorism, but a good one nonetheless. The underlying theme's and the message is very much relatable.

That again is my 2 cents. And I'm beginning to notice my 2 cents are really more like 2 peanuts since hardly anyone reads this blog anymore. I'm near to declaring it dead really. Neways tonnes more films to see. Valkyrie another Cruise flick, hope this converts me, Elizabeth this one I freaking HAVE to see, Volver staring Cruz and who knows what else eh. Movie slumber party anyone??

The better side of the track

Been listening to the Eagles "I can't tell you why" on loop. Nothing like a bit of oldies to cure the soul. It baffles me why the bassist Timothy Shcmit didn't become the lead singer of the band when clearly he has the best vocals. I think he only did 2 numbers; the ever famous "Love will keep us alive" and this number. Then again they did change their bassist 3 times before settling to Timothy. I suppose Don Healy's voice still suits most of their numbers.

It scares me sometimes how artist's have the most brilliant of ideas to twist and turn some of these classic tunes into their own creations. Make no mistake some of it is alright, most of it's just really bellow par, and some nay most should just be left alone. For example, Scissor Sister's rendition of Comfortably Numb originally by Pink Floyd. Horrid. How can you turn a bloody slow rock song about a person's struggle with self grief and turmoil to a bloody disco song? Then there's the genius of them all Marilyn Manson. He reckons as long as you put heavy guitars and really loud bass and some double pedals to any song its good. I think musical originality is really going down the drain. Everything just sounds the same. And in a desperate attempt they try and change an already good song.

Ah well, I suppose as long as it pleases the ear. Thats good old American driven capitalism in action in music. Maybe we should all just play a riff and sell it to Sony BMG and earn some money. And maybe we could all make our own Ping Pong song like Operator Please. You tube is up, and HOPEFULLY you'll find that its the MOST meaningless song possibly in the entire world. I quote, "It's a song about ping pongs".....

I give up. And it won an ARIA which is like a Grammy in Australia. I suppose songs just aren't what they used to be eh. We should all return to the times of Bach or Chopin where music is just notes. It was good enough then maybe its still good now.

Well, thats that I suppose. Thats my 2 cents for you in short. Agree, or not, up to you. Shit, now I'm feeling guilty, I think I'll do some chemistry.....

Que sabes tu de amor??

I think I'll cook some char kuew teow when the sodding exams done with. I figured I might dabble in a bit of Chinese cooking, a sorta tribute to our heritage if you will. I want to make a seriously mean har mien. Since we're gonna be moving to the bloody suburbs with a smoke house which incidentally is used for smoking salmon like what the Norse do up in the...north, in which I don't understand why we have in the first place since we (being primarily Chinese) like our fish..well...cooked...not smoked, which is rather ironic cause we have a smoke house now in my supposedly new house. Have I mentioned we have a smoke house?? It baffles me sometimes how mysteriously my parents work. I still have no idea why they bought a house which incidentally is bigger than the one we have in Ampang for 3 people, 2 considering my father doesn't like travelling out of his couch much, in Bundoora which is an hour away from town. At least we'll have a proper stove and a barbecue set, I think.....barbe at my place anyone??

I've sorta grown accustomed to my "pent house suite" as my aunt so elegantly pointed out. Its close to everything that has to be close has to be. I admit its no luxury suite; despite my aunt's pun-unlike Aiman's modern-esque place, but its good. I mean its 10 minutes away from town, 15 minutes away from an entire street's worth of pubs, 10 minutes to McD's and Pizza Hut and about 20 minutes away from shopping mecca, not like I shop, but thats besides the point.

Ah well, c'est la vie eh. We've all gotta move sometime. I figured that if any of you guys from Malaysia where thinking of coming here you'd prolly get a place somewhere in town and I could bunk at your place from Monday till Friday then go back home on Saturday and Sunday. I promise I'll be clean!! Meh....then again I don't think that'd really work. Considering my mum would prolly never let me move out seeing as we just got a house, that would mean I'd have to come up with legitimate excuses every week which though, conceivably possible is just practically a nightmare.

Got Specialist Math tomorrow. I somehow think I should be studying instead of blogging or watching movie's which to be honest is all I've been doing these past few days. There's something systemically wrong with me I think. Happened in SPM too. Weird. Well, back to studying I guess. Looking forward to the end of this so I can watch my movie's in peace instead of thinking of what I SHOULD be doing instead. Till then......

P.S. Anyone wanna watch the Phantom of the Opera?? Its on till the 20th of Jan but I'll be leaving on the 26 of Dec so.....meh...I doubt anyone reads my blog anymore seeing as the last tag I got was from some gay ass guy who thinks he's in love with Justin but is not and who thinks he's Jason but isn't. Weird. O.o

P.P.S I think I might have that barbecue come to think about it. I mean, it is summer....

The unnecessary melancholy

School's out. I have exams.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;


For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day.

extracts from "Eloisa to Abelard"
-Alexander Pope-

IS GOD DEMOCRATIC??

Very interesting question no? Honestly, I think God isn't democratic. He's more like a figure of all things good. He preaches, no doubt through his countless supposed prophets of the good will of humanity and how to lead a good and sin free life, which no doubt serves as a good platform for which to build our social and moral understanding, but to go as far as to say he is democratic I don't know. But then again what is democracy right? Freedom to choose, freedom of speech, etc. etc. But I pray do not let your pre-assumptions get the better of your judgment. Having said that this is an individual opinion.

I've been watching a programme of late entitled "Why Democracy?". Its a 10 part series encompassing the various views on democracy and what it means to live in a democratic nation. I must say its very interesting. I find its easy for us to criticise since we're privileged enough to live where we are, but the programme just opens the eye a tad. Too bad they don't air in Malaysia, though they might in the Discovery Channel.

On another note, I am going to fall ill. I can feel it. The signs are very ominous for me. I injured my back for one, so now I can't really move it much and I have diarrhea. Yippy kayyay eh. Anyway if you're interested there's a website about the programme and it has a forum which is where I got the question from, I suggest you go, just for the sake of it. Neways thats that from me, till next time....

p.s. Suggestions and comments regarding the matter are welcomed just don't go calling me an arsehole or an idiot because you feel otherwise about the matter.

Update??

Time for an update me thinks. Really there's nothing much to update about. Its pretty much all about studying from now on really. So basically, the only update really is that I'm studying. Hey at least its an update, of some sort anyway. So really thats it. I'll write something more...interesting I guess a little later on.

Just a few things before I go:

  1. Watching Soul Plane now, the one where Snoop Dogg's the pilot, it makes ABSOLUTELY no sense but its funny as hell!!
  2. Winning 11 is a very addictive game especially when one is tired of studying. It happens to piss the living shit outta me too sometimes.
  3. If you are fond of tunes from retro bands like the Cure, Blondie, or even Blink 182, try listening to Superbus. But they're French so, naturally they're songs are in French but the tunes really addictive.




Tchi-cum-bah by Superbus, check it out. Its not for everyone, especially if you're really into those sentimental love songs, but I say its good. XD

Neways thats bout it from me, so till next time...

Love is in the air...

So is the rain lately. Thats not saying much to be honest. Not when you come from the land of perpetual rain. And god knows this country desperately needs some. But more interestingly so is love apparently, and the exams obviously, which makes it all seem very ironic. I figured it has something to do with the weather. Boy the rain must really get them in the mood, the mood for love. But its not only the rain or the blissfully mild weather(almost..minus the rain of course) but somehow or rather this love thing is directly related to exams. Theory is that as the exams approach, more and more couples pop up. I don't know if that holds true regardless but it seems to be the trend. Heck if you drew a graph it'd probably look something like a normal probability distribution graph, with the mean being spring and what not. Conclusion: The irony..too resounding...or I may just be loosing my mind. Either way food for thought.

Exams are coming up, the trials are now. I still have 4 SAC's, nay 5. 3 for chemistry, and we haven't finished the syllabus yet. Maths and chem tomorrow. Then physics and maths again on Wednesday. Then what else but math again on Friday. At least it was better than the 20 odd papers we had to sit for SPM. Alas! That is that. Complaining never really fixed anything. At least after all this I'll have a decent break after this before the big mama. So back to studying, hopefully or Winning 11 either way, thats it from me. Till next time...

P.S. Foo Fighthers are coming...YES!!

Recap

In the last few weeks...

1. Miss South Carolina is officially the stupidest Miss Teen in America.



Somehow, she managed to link America to maps and Africa and lack of education. Wow...



2. The rugby world cup has started and Australia trashed Japan...91-3.

Don't that just make you feel so proud to be an Asian.


3. The APEC summit is being held in Sydney.


Nearly 3000 Australians protested near Sydney Harbor.


4. Luciano Pavarotti has passed away. The great maestro passed away at the grand age of 71 after long time battle with pancreatic cancer leaving behind a great legacy.



5. Justine Henin no Hardene cause she's divorced has won the US Women's Open. Besides that, she also pocketed herself 1.6 million US dollars.

Not too shabby eh.


Finally... I have 5 more SAC's a trial this coming week and a half and exams in about a month and a half. Joy...

Life according to....

Imagine for one second, that everyone talked hokglish ( hokien and english). Life'd be pretty damn funny. It'd be like Pua Chu Kang in high definition. Actually worst..

Hypothetical scenario 1:
A friend spots a girl that is quite pretty walking on the street. He calls out to you, "Oi! Ci bai! That ca bo quite chooi leh!"
You turn your head and concur, therefore you say, "Diao! Right la brother! She damn si bei nap! But the ca bo heng next to her ka na sai man!!"
Your friend agrees and you walk away.

Hypothetical scenario 2:
You walk on the street, a car comes within inches of knocking your socks off. You feel unsatisfied. So you shout, "Eh diao you la ci bai!!! Ka ni na!! Who taught you to drive one??!! Your lau bu ah??!! No wonder your driving ka na sai only la!! I call mata then only you know ah ci bai!!"
The guy looks baffled. You walk away with one last cry of CI BAI!!!!

Hypothetical scenario 3:
You want to go to the toilet. But your friends are curious. They want to follow you and know where your going. So you say:
"Why so kae po wan you?? I pang jioo you also want to follow? For what jiak pa bo seh cho is it??"

If your laughing than I rest my case, if your confused, I'll unconfuse you with a little tutorial later, if you just think this post is weird and stupid and won't come visit my blog again, ah well...its better than those filler posts eh.

Tutorial:
ci bai:not very nice way of calling a person
ca bo:girl
ca bo heng:technically its like calling a girl Ms. Girl..so basically just girl.
chooi (pronouced-chi ooooo):pretty
diao:its not hokien technically..but we still use it...its basically fuck.
si bei nep (pronounced-sii bey nep):its like calling a girl...er...very hot in a not very nice way.
ka na sai:just like shit...literally.
ka ni na:not a very nice word to say also.
mata:police.
kae po (pronounced-kaee po):busy body.
