Human Marvels
Something interesting to read about oddities of nature. The weekend has been fantastic where I don't have to work or do anything. But this also means that time passes slower and I'm running out of movies, so I've decided to read something fun.

Semester Break From Uni?? Bull Shit I Tell You
So. Just came back from another exhilarating day from uni.
JOY.
This week I finally managed to accomplish a presentation and an essay which I have just handed in today. 2 down and 2 to go.
Dear me.
I was suppose to go on a holiday this coming semester break. Down to New Zealand to visit my mum. But now? I'm stuck here in freaking Dullsville, working my ass off on a month's "break". Farking fantastic.
What the fuck happened to my break?!? I'm not even looking forward to this coming semester break. I just wish someone would just sweep me off my feet and take me somewhere else for once.
Although this year has been a real roller-coaster ride and meeting my girlfriend is one of the better things this year, I still can't help but feel so lethargic, so DEAD. Something deep inside me have already died. I just felt like dying today. Not my usual suicide thoughts but that my body will break anytime soon.
Oh yeah, I forgot to update that my lymph nodes are swollen. The last time this happened was when I suffered from a eating disorder back in 2004. That happened due to the lack of nutrition
I was getting. This time? I suspect either I worked too many hours, the lack of sleep and food or my smoking habit. I doubt smoking as if it were to happen, it would have happened a year ago. Now, it's a size of a small freaking marble.
I'm popping pills like Dr. Gregory House. Codeine infused pain-killers and Difflam lozenges.
JOY.

GIVE ME A FUCKING GOOD SURPRISE FOR ONCE YEAH?
SOMETHING TO FREAKING CHEER ME UP!
I have been saying this for a long time, but I guess no one notices it anyways. Not like anyone notices me.

Man Soup?
From correspondents in Berlin

A GERMAN worker was boiled alive in an empty industrial-sized soup vat while trying to clean it, tabloid newspaper Bild reported.
The 36-year-old, named only as Markus, was scrubbing the two-metre-high pot when the lid accidentally closed, automatically starting the jets of boiling water used to disinfect vegetables.
"For reasons we have still not cleared up, the disinfection process started too soon," a police spokesman told the paper. By the time the unfortunate worker was found, he was already dead, Bild reported.
The factory in Luebeck in northern Germany, which employs around 200 people, has been "provisionally closed," according to its owners, Erasco - a subsidiary of US soup-maker Campbell's.

Lost Independence?
Oh dear.
Mother is moving over. Til I graduate and find a job. I wonder how restricting she'll be?
Other than that, it's good. I don't need to cook for myself and buy the weekly groceries and financial issues. Good being a parasite again for the current situation.
However, I'm going to miss smoking and spending 7 days at my girlfriend's place.
Compromise. Compromise. Compromise.

She's Living My Dream!
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Talk about living the dream I've always wanted. I stumbled upon this blog whilst doing my blogroll.
A forensic student from Murdoch University in Perth, now flight attendant for Emirates.
MY DREAM!!
Here's one quote I've found which I'm going to live by and can use it as a good come-back when some other Asian family member is going to be snobby and scrutinize about my preferred choice of work. Especially for Michael. Here's to you and your flight attendant theory. Suck on it!

"I get to go to places such as these and get paid for it."
Your sons/daughters might be doctors/lawyers/etc.. But how many places will you see in your life? If you're going to say that they are getting paid more than me, I agree, but by the time you save up and see the same places that I'm going to go in my career life, you'll be fucking old! bwahahaha you're not going to enjoy the partying side of it :D
Too Busy For Anything?
To be frank, it's been a long time since I've blogged and actually put up any photos. Since the financial breakdown, there has been an overload on work, assignments and spending time with my girlfriend. I personally feel so exhausted these days, I don't even have the energy and time for clubbing or stroll down the city [personal stress relief strategy].
Urgh.
Urgh.
I really, really miss 2008. Where I could just go anywhere I like, have a cup of bubble tea or coffee in one hand and just stroll without having the stress or worries of life. Now, it's the complete opposite.
work, uni, work, uni, work after uni, work.....
The viscious cycle continues
I'm just so tired. Tired of uni and of work. But I cannot let go. I feel like I'm being muffled with a pillow whilst screaming. So restricted. So so sick.
And to add to my personal dilemma, I can't do the things I want to do like clubbing, going to karaoke or have a good beer and fries down at the Little Creatures Brewery in Fremantle. Why? Cause I don't have the financial liberty to do so. Even if I have, I don't have the time. On Sundays I just sleep cause I'm just so freaking lethargic.

Energy drinks will be the death of me.
Thank you Vern and Mum.
You're the only reason I'm still here.

This is Why You Shouldn't Use Wikipedia as a Source
For all you people who Wiki-away. Read this before you assume all you see on Wikipedia is true. You should know that by now, unless you're as thick as a brick wall.
AN Irish student's fake quote on the Wikipedia online encyclopedia has been used in newspaper obituaries around the world, the Irish Times reports.
Taken from Perthnow.com.au
The quote was attributed to French composer Maurice Jarre who died in March.
Shane Fitzgerald, 22, a final-year student studying sociology and economics at University College Dublin, told the newspaper he placed the quote on the website as an experiment when doing research on globalisation.
He quoted Oscar-winning composer Jarre as saying, "One could say my life itself has been one long soundtrack. Music was my life, music brought me to life, and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life.
"When I die there will be a final waltz playing in my head, that only I can hear."
The quote was posted on Wikipedia shortly after Jarre's death and later appeared in obituaries in major British, Indian and Australian newspapers.
Mr Fitzgerald told the newspaper he picked Wikipedia because it was something a lot of journalists look at and it can be edited by anyone.
While he was wary about the ethical implications of using someone's death as a social experiment, he had carefully generated the quote so as not to distort or taint Jarre's life, he said.
Mr Fitzgerald said he was shocked by the result of his experiment.
"I didn't expect it to go that far. I expected it to be in blogs and sites, but on mainstream quality papers? I was very surprised about," he said.
He said the hoax remained undiscovered for weeks until he emailed the newspapers that had been deceived to tell them that they had published an inaccurate quote.
The Irish Times said that despite some newspapers removing the quote from their websites or carrying a correction and the fact that it had been dropped by Wikipedia, it remained intact on dozens of blogs, websites and newspapers.
