Q+A

I know most of you wouldn't care but I've decided to do a few (lol, 2) of these. I've been seeing them around and just never got to it. I've always been wanting to do one so just go away if you don't want to read this. I've found all of these on either tumblr or other blogs so. If there are same questions, I might answer differently in each one or they might be same, I just won't omit the repeated one because I'm too lazy. Btw, sorry if the text is of a different font, it's because I've copied it off somewhere and sometimes my laptop just copies everything like the background color, font, etc. even though I've set it to default settings on my blog. This is going to be a quite long post but I like these things so you will either find it interesting, weird or downright a waste of time, I frankly don't care, but it's your choice to leave, read on or read on a little then leave.

Alright, here we go.


I have the need to tell you this though, when I was typing the paragraph above...and well this text to, the voice in my head that reads as I type was the voice of SamPepper ok.


Here we go, the first one (copied off tumblr so I think the chat box format is there but DEAL, BTCH - my answers are italicized & in purple):




  • 1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel? When I'm telling them how I feel.
  • 2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way? Oh this is going to make me sound like the fattest hippo on the planet but my mom told me that we were going to this place for dinner and they have the most badass noodles, fish and clams there. Like I cannot explain how good the food is (Chinese cuisine, of course) and I got really excited because I thought "Hey, what a good way to end the summer." but no, my mom decided to change plans without even asking anyone and asked my maid to cook. Now, this may sound like I'm totally unappreciative of my maid (who is really rude to me, by the way) and the food I have but...it's my last day of summer, let me have some good food please, Mom. I still feel a little bit annoyed but...I have something planned.
  • 3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them? Okay, First of all, I hate thinking about dying in a plane crash because that's just a horrific way to leave Earth but I would call my mother. I would tell her that she means the world to me and that I wouldn't be the person that I am today (or was...if you know what I mean)
  • 4. You are at the doctor’s office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid? I would so that I wouldn't be hiding anything from the people I trust and love, that way I would be able to live happily because holding something in would just make me miserable. I would just do whatever I want and live without a care in the world; I would be scared but eventually I would just have to accept it.
  • 5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust. Oh, this is tough, really tough, but I would go with trust. Living without trust would just make you a worrywart, actually, no, it wouldn't make you just a worrywart, it would also make you a killjoy and a pain in the ass because of your constant worrying. People have lived their life without a partner and if I had to choose between love and trust, I would rather live without love.
  • 6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late even once more, you are fired. Do you take the time to save the dogs life? Why or Why not? I would save the damn dog's life. A lowlife that wouldn't take me saving a dog's life as an excuse would just not be worth working with. If I do get fired, I wouldn't mind because it was for a good cause. Even though it would be hard getting another job.
  • 7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most? The one I love the most (as in affiliates I guess) because yet again, I would rather live with trust.
  • 8. Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say? If I was having feelings for him too, I would obviously be happy and confess to him too. However, if I didn't like him, I would just say that it's okay and it probably happens many times. I wouldn't make him stop, not because the relationship would never happen, but because I can't force him to do something so difficult for normal people to do.
  • 9. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not? I would do it because she has impacted so many people's lives in so many ways that she sure as hell deserves to spend one more hour with her family. 
  • 10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend? Depends, I have some bad sides to me. I don't want to flatter myself but I think that I am a pretty trustworthy friend but other than that, I can't really say.
  • 11. Does love = sex? Hell, no.
  • 12.Your boss tells your coworker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your coworker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company? Why or Why not? To be honest I wouldn't but I would feel so guilty about it. I, too, would have no other means of income but I may not have a family to support. If I do, the more the reason for me to not leave my job. I wouldn't be the only one in the office either. Also, I would live with the biggest amount of guilt in me for the longest period of time.
  • 13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person? I'm not telling you that...even though this is a to be honest sort of thing. 
  • 14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite sex, you love them or that you do not love them back? Telling them that I don't love them back even though I would have a lot to lose if I did tell them I loved them.
  • 15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose? THING? My inhaler...I would die without it.
  • 16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you? KRYSTAL, my other half.
  • 17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why? I don't really understand the one moment and one time thing but if I could change something from last month, I would probably not have taken the painkiller that my mom's friend gave me because it resulted in me having an allergic reaction and I had to carry heavy skis, my poles and walk in my ski boots all the way back to my chalet and stop skiing for the entire trip. I missed out on the Supertrail Run with my coach and the Supertrail is the highest elevated peak in Australia. 
  • 18. Imagine it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you? Probably my mom. Or my male cousin, don't get me wrong, I love my mom to death but she would just call me a ridiculous idiot for being so scared.
  • 19. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not? Uh, YES. Because he/she is a person regardless of his/her living situations.
  • 21.You are holding onto your grandmother’s hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your rationale for making the decision? I hate this. I shall not answer this.
  • 22. Are you old fashioned? In what way? I don't even know what old-fashioned is described as nowadays.
  • 23. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it? I was nice to people in school today. I didn't expect anything in return, especially when I was nice to my new teachers.
  • 24.Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why? Never loved at all because why work so hard for something like true love when you know you're eventually going to fall. 
  • 25.If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be? For the world to be a better place.
I have a few lined up so I'm definitely going to do more of these...I like these things.

Now this second one's a picture so I'll type out the question-ish thing. (There were fifty so I picked a random 15 - if you want the thing, here's the image URL: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8doymuzy11rolxjbo1_500.png. This was taken from tumblr so I just changed tumblr to blogspot)

DLCW

I can't even. He played exceedingly well today. The whole of Malaysia is no doubt proud of him. Lin Dan. UGH. Okay, so Lin Dan did play well but at least have some sportsmanship in him. He stripped. And ran a marathon after he saw that CW's hit was out of bounds. That single moment was so, so depressing. It's Chong Wei's last match and he lost it by a mere 2 points: 19-21... Lin Dan's a great player but like I said, he's super cocky and has no sportsmanship. When he gains a point, he acts as though he's the king of the world but when he doesn't gain a point, he acts as though he just lost something very dear to him. And he gets so pissed when he doesn't gain the point. It's retarded.

Ugh, I'm just so pissed. But I'm so proud of Dato' Lee Chong Wei. Also, he tweeted 'I'm sorry' and that's when I broke. I felt so useless. I know I couldn't have done anything but UGH. And he tweeted Yahoo Malaysia sorry for not taking home the gold... I can't even.

UGH UGH UGH UGH. But I'm still extremely proud of him for doing what he could and performing his best and putting up such a good fight.

Forever proud of Chong Wei.

Project Yay

I went over to Krystal's house on Friday to have our long awaited sleepover! It was super duper fun. I got there at about 3 and we just chilled. Literally. We had out laptops out and started looking at pictures of people having a life and complaining about ours. Always fun with my twin. We were on tumblr and twitter and such complaining about how hot people are and how we're such potatoes. Yet again, always fun with my other half. We basically talked about irrelevant stuff, watched videos and then came the time for the live Olympic events. We first watched the semi-finals of the men's singles badminton and then we went on to watching the women's 75kg weightlifting finals. So proud of Chong Wei ahh. And Kazakhstan placed first in the weightlifting, Russia second and...someone else third I forgot. But the only reason the Kazakh woman placed first is because she's a mere 300 grams lighter than the Russian but ah so happy for her. She did exceedingly well.

Krystal's dad is super fun to watch sports with though...seriously HAHA. Then we went into Krystal's room right after the matches finished. We skyped with Michael and Imran. I skyped Imran on my laptop and Krystal was skyping Michael on her laptop. Then we cross skyped lol. We placed each other's laptop in front of...each other's (?) and Imran and Michael talked to each other it was pretty cool. Then we watched half of the Help because it was 2am by then. It's such a good movie.

We woke up at like 9-ish and continued watching the Help. Krystal's mom wanted to bring us out for breakfast and I didn't know so I ended up going out in my pj's...actually, they were my lululemon shorts + my touch shirt. So that's all good actually. Then we came back, attempted to tan (LOL IT WAS SUCH A FAIL THERE WAS NO SUN) and then we went out for lunch. By the time we arrived back at Krystal's crib it was time to leave for Michael's kingdom.

We reached Michael's house like twenty minutes later than planned...sigh but his house is frickin amazing like words cannot describe it ahh. Krystal and I were fangirling in the car haha. We basically watched Imran, Adam and Michael play FIFA and table tennis. Then we decided to watch a movie, Project X. It was interesting... Also, my post title sorta is inspired by this movie title hehe. Then we went up to Michael's room to talk about...stuff. T'was fun. So fun actually HAHA. Then Imran had to leave, sad face. After he left...we went up to Michael's room to talk again and we watched a little of 21 Jump Street. Then we had to go have dinner. Michael's mom made the best fish & chips ever. And she also made this chocolate fondue thing. YUMSIES. But I didn't really have much of the chocolate. I had two grapes. They were good though yay.

Then we watched Shark Night. THAT MOVIE CRAY. Adam had to leave in the middle of the movie though. SAAAD FACE. There was this stupid point in the movie that left me, Krystal and Michael shaking and laughing because we screamed so loud and then ended up laughing at ourselves. T'WAS FUNNY. After the movie, we went up to continue with 21 Jump Street but we didn't get to finish because I had to leave sigh. It was such a good day.

Now, I'm watching the badminton finals between Lin Dan and CHONG WEI!!!!!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!

Thursday

So this is a post about yesterday because I have time now and I can't think of anything better to do. I woke up at about 10 because I had singing lessons to replace today. I can't go today because I'll be heading to Krystal's house for a long overdue sleepover! Anyways, I had singing, which was kinda agonizing because my range doesn't go about middle E? I don't even know if that makes sense but basically I'm an alto. And it sucks because I stupidly chose the song 'Long Distance' by Bruno Mars to learn and it has some high, high, high notes that I have to hit. My teacher suggested that I use my head voice to hit them but I'm like one of the 3% of people that can't achieve the head voice for some stupid reason. I guess it's because I'm so used to utilizing my 'falsetto' voice. Apparently, I just need support from my throat and I'd achieve head voice. But I can't do that. My life is great.

After singing class, my mom and uncle picked me up and we went Pavilion for lunch and a little shopping. We had lunch at this place called ...I don't know but it's like by Du Viet or something. It was pretty good actually. I had this stew thing with rice. Didn't finish it though hehe. Then we went over to Daiso in the Tokyo Street section of the mall. We spent like thirty minutes there because mother was going crazy buying all these organization things which were actually very, very useful so I didn't mind. I bought dividers for my binder and like pocket things to hold my homework YAY.

After that I got some Ochado (I know right, how much more unhealthy and fat can I get..) Then we went over to...Stadium I think and my mom got new running shoes which look uber cool. My uncle got some Vans for him and for his son. And I got one of those Nike squirt water bottles. I've always wanted one and now I've got one AHHH. That's pretty much it I think. YEAH.

Then on the way home we went to the market to get our dinner, which was delicious. When I got home, I went to the gym to go on the bike. I did just a little over 12km this time. YAY. Then my mom taught me how to use the equipment thing for sit-ups, which resulted in my doing four just to show her. She says 'I CAN DO THIRTY' and I'm like 'Okay, so can I but right now you wanna go home, don't you?' and she goes 'Yah.' So it was settled.

Dinner was good. So lazy to type out what we had. Then we watched the Olympics for a while then I went off to bed YAY. This was a long and boring post about my day which doesn't concern you at all so you basically wasted about 3 minutes of your life. Good on you, son.
