problems are problems. or are they?

2011-03-09T17:13:00.002+07:00

hello people!
how's it goin?

a little word of advice to those
stressed out
by problems..

i am not saying that problems don't exist.
they do.
but a problem's only as big as you want it to be.
no problem is too big for us to handle.

to those who gets stressed out by problems and feel like the world is against them and they are clueless on what to do,
keep your composure.
keep your head light.
there's no need to dwell on the problems.
just enjoy life, and in the process, try to find solutions to your problem.
often the best solution comes if your head is light.

an example.
i got stressed out on what to do for my IGCSEs.
but then i thought, why worry?
Just do what you can
e.g study, study, study
God will take care of the rest.

so really, don't panic.
just enjoy.
remember, a problem is a problem, but they are only as big as you want it to be.

anyway, it's the midterms.
yeay! NOT!
i barely sleep.
6 hours only a night.
dang!!

later people.
gotta study, study, study!!!

surroundings...

2011-02-28T21:37:00.000+07:00

I'm surrounded by people but yet I feel lonely...

somehow, that phrase sums up all the feelings I have right now.
i'm not talking about my family, coz' they're awesome, but people here implies my friends, my peers.
i'm surrounded by many people, but yet i'm lonely.

makes me wonder,
is it me or is it them?
i feel that it is me.
problem is, there's no one trying to tell me where i'm wrong in behaving or socializing.

what on earth should i do?
stop making friends and be a self centred person?
that's not exactly an option is it?
or is my character only suitable to some people?

some tried to tell me that you should start talking to people.
i'm not the kind of person who text messages or calls people on random.
if there's no need to talk to them, i don't.

i'm not sure.

ironically, people who i don't meet everyday or talk to everyday are those who knows me best.
and i thought the people who i hang out with knows me.

person A asks person B thrice to go somewhere.
i thought i was close with A, because i hang out with her and i thought that A and B weren't close.
but A asks B to go, and didn't even tell me.
now, i know that it's stupid or unimportant to feel this way but i can't help but wonder:
A asks B and didn't even care to tell me?

which brings me to my other question:

i thought i was close.
why? was inviting me to go as well too hard?

and it leads to yet another question:
why no invite?
is because of 'me'?

typing this, i'm reminded of another story.

a friend of mine has a party and i was invited.
dude who has supposed to invite me, and whom i thought i was close to, didn't even remember to tell me that i was invited.
i had to find out from someone else.
what, was texting me too hard?
no credit?
what?
is it me?
damn!!!

all i can say for now is
DAMN!!!

why bother dating?

2011-02-26T21:17:00.000+07:00

another rant here.

question to all u daters out there..

Why date someone if u're not even close to your dates?

let me give a situation.

boy and girl dates. girl however isn't even that close to boy, instead, girl is close to boy's best friend and tells the best friend everything.
boy becomes upset and hides a pain, which frankly, can't be expressed because its his own best friend.

which strengthens my question:
why date someone if u dont even trust them?

when u date someone, isnt that the person u're supposed to trust? the person you tell your feelings to, your thoughts and your ideas.
instead nowadays, couples, its just about the making out and the status.
but is that what relationship is nowadays?
isnt a healthy relationship based on communication, which frankly isnt honored anymore?
ask a couple very deep questions about their dates, and tell me, can they answer them? i dont think so.
ive known too many couples who arent even close to each other. they think they know each other, but they really dont.
if u're close to someone but wants to date another, my suggestion would be no.
why?
coz its going to cause lots of heartbreaks and pain and eventually murder and suicide.
okay just kidding but who knows.

so my question:
why bother dating if u're not even going to trust your dates?

it just ain't fair...

2011-02-25T21:19:00.000+07:00

okay, i got this as a bbm...

10:00pm

Girl: babe, let's meet later. I miss you.

Boy: alright, I'll just finish this round of game.

Girl: you're choose your game than me!?

Boy: don't worry, I'll be there, okay?

Girl: okay, I'll be waiting.

hours passed, more of the boy's friends came and they enjoyed too much that he forgot about the time.

The boy looked at his cellphone and saw four messages and 10 missed calls.

He shut his phone down to pretend his battery was drained.

01:00am

The boy went home and saw his brother, panicking outside the house and looking for him.

Brother: someone called earlier! Your girlfriend's bag was snatched, but she followed the snatchers and they shot her!

Boy: don't mess with me man. Stop joking.

The boy opened his cellphone and looked at her messages.

11: 00pm
Babe, where are you?

11: 30pm
Babe, why is your phone off?

11: 45pm
Babe, there are guys following me. I'm scared. Where are you? : '(

12: 00am
Happy Anniversary Babe, I love you. I wanted to greet you personally, but I think I won't see you tonight. Good night babe, I hope you're not drunk when you get home.

______________________________________________________

Guys, you'll never know when you'll lose the people you love.

Show them everyday how much you love them because you'll never know when you can't, anymore.

now, i wonder, why is that the bbm implies that the girl died because of the guy is being an ass?
because
one, not all guys are jerks
two, not all guys put games first than girl
and three, not all guys forget a date...

now what if something like this happened?

10:00 pm
Guy: babe, let's miss later. i need you.
girl: alright, i'll just finish this episode of America's Next Top Model.
Boy: You choose TV more than me?
Girl: Don' worry, i'll be there okay?
Boy: okay, i'll be waiting

hours passed, more episode of America's Next Top Model came into play and she enjoyed it too much and forgot about the time

the girl looked at her cellphone and saw four messages and 10 missed calls.

she shut her phone down to pretend her battery was drained.

01:00 am

The girl went to the guys house and saw her bf's bro panicking outside the house and looking for her.

Brother: where the hell were you? because of u, his life had changed. thank you for missing out on the most important night of his life. *say the phrase using the "Because of u song"* he's not the DotA world champ anymore.

Girl: dont mess with me man. stop joking.

The girl opened her cellphone and looked at her messages

11:00 pm
babe, where were you? Razor is killing

11:30 pm
Babe, why is your phone off? i need you too help me battle huskar.

11:45 pm
Babe, this new dude with dwarven is assassinating me. im frustrated. where are you?

12:00 am
Happy Destroy My Day babe. I 'love' you. i wanted you to help me personally, but i think i won't be seeing you tonight. Good night. dont be surprised if u wake up tomorrow morning underwater.

girls, you never know when you'll lose the people you love.

show them everyday how much you love them because you'll never know when you can't anymore.

........ that's so beautiful
but wait, there's more!!

guy filled with hatred and anger, kidnaps girl, ties her, ships girl off to pacific ocean, becomes serial killer, learns about nuclear physics, makes atomic bomb, destroys world.
now, you see, what if its the girls fault?
what if because of the girl, not only the dude dies, but the entire human civilization had to suffer because of it?
we're not all assholes you know. :(

Only if...

2011-02-20T21:13:00.000+07:00

Yes, and you're back with amateurshowman.blogspot.com and its awesome writer, me!
haha.

Hellooo everybody?

oh you embarrass me.
im awesome of course.

okay, let's stop with the self praising now.

so, like last tuesday i went to singapore poly to look at the school
and let me tell ya,
it was awesome!
the programs and the facilities they offered was something i never dreamt of.
they offer 227 diploma programs.
what more can u ask?
to get in though, that's a different story.
let's just say because of it, i have to take
wait for it
5 IGCSEs in may or june
and
i only have 3 months to prepare for everything.
impossible?
we'll see.
actually, i'll see coz im the one taking it.

okay..

private candidate...

anyhow, in the more recent news..
grades 7, 8, and 9 have abandoned the grade 10 and left for malaysia.
we are so getting our revenge.
but probably next time.

anyhow, i just gotta get this out.
u know whr girls posts all this status and talks about what great guys should do?
have they once considered that in order to receive those treatment for us dudes, they gotta give also?
its great for those girls that realize that they have to give in order to take, but for those who keep taking and taking, this might be the answer to some of ur problems.
im not trying to offend anyone, just gotta let it out.

anyway, the next two weeks are going to be cruel.
pray for me.

oh yeah, more youtube.
christina grimmie
www.youtube.com/zeldaxlove64

CNY Angpao bo lai!

2011-01-31T21:45:00.000+07:00

Hellooo people!!
its been what three weeks since i last updated this thing?
man, i kept wanting too but keep forgetting
i keep getting topics but i keep forgetting
i want to take a dump but i keep forgetting? nah, dont worry. my bowel movement's fine LOL

anyhow, how y'all doin?
excited for CNY?
i am VERY VERY normal about CNY.
why? coz i dont get angpaos.
friends suggested that we use a loophole in the angpao giving system.
it's a rule that every unmarried person has to be given money if they come to yee house, no matter if u know them or not.
so they're suggesting that we enlarge our balls and just enter people's house and get some of those angpaos.
want to, can't. i still have shame LOL.

anyhow, how's school goin?
one week holiday here, which sucks coz other school get like 2 - 3 weeks. in singapore, they get one week off.

so, i was just recently made the media guy dude in junior youth.
part of the job specification is:
i man the lyric changing thingy (press down every 3 seconds)
i write things about IT to be put in the news
oh well, just gotta enjoy it.
its serving the Lord and someone's gotta do it right?

anyhow, would anyone be grateful and show me where i can get basketball dvds?
i would appreciate it a lot.

oh yeah, the script released their new album.

anyone heard about the meet taylor swift contest?
please watch lol
its real fun(ny)!
wkwkwkwkk

oh yeah ive been wanting to write this for a while now
do u remember when ur parents, teachers and elders used to say
"watch out for friends who smoke, drink, do drugs and sleep around coz they'll drag u into it too!"
i will always respond this way
"yeah yeah yeah."
why?
coz my friends who does all the things above never tells me to do them. in fact, they tell me to stay far far away from them.
so i am never able to connect with the watch out for friends statement.
sure we have to pick our friends, but for me, this story just dont work.

anyway, that's all for now.
l8r people.
take a dump regularly. hahaha.

FALSE RUMOR: Facebook Shutting Down on March 15

2011-01-10T17:44:00.001+07:00

Attention Facebook and Twitter users:

The "news" that Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will shut down on March 15 because he finds running the company "too stressful" is false.

I repeat, false.

It's a rumor based on a fictitious, satirical story published on WeeklyWorldNews.com, a tabloid-style website (formerly a weekly newspaper) best known for past scoops such as "Alien Spaceships to Attack Earth in 2011" and "Megan Fox Is a Man."

It isn't news. It barely even qualifies as a rumor.

Pass that on.

http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2011/01/08/facebook-shutting-down-hoax.htm

You guys might have read the newspapers claiming that Facebook is shutting down on March 15th, 2011. well, breathe a sigh of relief. it's not. it's just a fake headline.

on the other story, is our 'beloved' minister of telecommunications and information Tifatul Sembiring really going to block RIM? i don't believe so. think of the 1.1 million BIS subscribers living in this country. and think of us, students, whose homework and social life has been rescued by this phenomenon, where we became the second biggest user of twitter in the world. think of the people who doesn't need phone creds anymore, because all their friends are using blackberry. think of the browser, where the internet is always in our hands.

so is blackberry going to be blocked on the 17th? well, looks like we have to see for ourselves eh?

celebrity look alikes

2011-01-08T20:06:00.002+07:00

brittany curran jessica stroup

looks alike eh?

btw, for you video game and graphics junkie, check this one out.

luna maya mischa barton
not that alike, but kinda alike.
surprising huh?

2011-01-03T20:56:00.000+07:00

i was squished in like cheese in a sandwich, and given my height, i was literally next to armpits. ugh!

anywho, school started.

like, what the??

other schools aren't even starting till like the 6th.

and to make matters worse, i have a business homework that i cannot do because of a freaking video game.

dang. i think this computer's starting to become a nuisance.

and of course, YouTube

this week it's freddie wong collaborating with shenae grimes.

yes, the shenae grimes.

anyway, that's all for today folks.

if you like watching the guy, u probably know he idolizes miley cyrus.
and his idolizing payed off? i dont know.
but i do know, he got miley to star in his music video.
imagine you starring in a video with your idol?
like kevjumba, making a video with Jalen Rose, an NBA player.
dude, that is cool!

anyhow, here are the videos.
it speaks for itself.

so, today was like the toughest day of the whole exam week.
let me break it down for ya
PPKN, Geography, ICT
school's gotta be kidding me.
three subjects, all requiring me to memorize things.
im nt a big fan of remembering things.
anyway, i went through it.
ICT was hell. dang hard, either blanks or i just put in things in it.

my greates fear is not passing.
well, i care about that.
but my greatest regret right now
not getting 9s in my report.
i need those 9s. i really do.

anyway, i guess its my fault in the first place.
my overconfidence, and procrastination killed me.
note to self.
pride is the key to downfall

anyway, i was watching kevjumba the other day, and found this.

nah, nvm.
haha.
the video's good.

oh yeah, i used this analogy today.
"break a glass and u can still can glue it back it together, but it will never be the same"
i guess, it applies to relationships.
break it, u can mend it, but it'll nvr be the same.

anyway, that's all for now.

2010-11-28T15:57:00.000+07:00

so, sup people of earth?

so last friday, the 26th, a bunch of girls, wait, female students came from singapore. they hail from an educational facility called GMBS (is it right?) and they're located at toa payoh (again, am i right?)
anyway, it stands for G........ Methodist Badminton School.
first thought, they have schools just for badminton in there?
okay, so i was chosen to lead three girls around the campus (or more like the kindergarten, primary, and secondary building). it was nerve wracking at first. c'mon, im not good around strangers, let alone a group of girls i barely knew. but thank God these people aren't snobby. if they were, i don't know what i would have done.
i showed them the campus and told them all about it. showed the classes and stuff like that.
after an hour or so of travelling around, i learned that
a) global has a sucky facility compared to their school
b) global has a really bad population crisis
anyway, after showing 'em around, well, we stopped. duuhh.

after lunch or so, the tour guides (me a sucky one at that), were told to gather at the PD room. well, they gave us gifts and things like that.
oh yeah note, i asked one girl to put her name on the notebook. little did i know she already did put her name in the notebook she gave me. hehehehe. sorry. i havent had the chance to read it earlier. anyway, on to facebook with her name on hand. nah, maybe l8r.

anyway, after we're done, well i went home. duuh. im not sleeping in school.

okay, so, u guys watched the new vid by nigahiga? yes? no?
yes
awesome right? write ur comment bout it in the comments section please
no
dude, u really gotta watch it
lemme help u with that
35 minute long movie, but well worth the wait

but of course, my favorite scene

congrats ryan, ya just became an A.S.S. HOLE

hhhaha

but i really wish they make a sequel to it.

and im not complaining if they make me an A.S.S

Agents of Secret Stuff.. duuh.

haha.

anyway, on to the last one.

so, tomorrow, imma start my semestral exams, which sucks because its really unnecessary.

pray for me and wish me luck. i really dont want to fail any, coz i absolutely hate remeds.

ps. since im nice, for those 10th graders of SGIA, here is the pointer for review

whoops..

sorry. no can do. i cant copy paste it from word.

however, if u guys want one, just text me and i'll mail it to u.

anyway, that's all for now.

Too much Indonesia in Malaysia

2010-11-22T19:59:00.003+07:00

sup guys?

how's yer weekends?

y'all feeling fine?

anyway, i was looking for campuses in malaysia, and found this

(click on image to enlarge. it was a large file so i had to resize it.)

they have a special button to display their web page in indonesian.

im no expert, but if they have that button, i think its a pretty clear sign that too much Indonesians go to malaysia.

well, i know that there's a possibility that i will contribute to the number, but c'mon, seriously? this much that they had to create a special button?

anyway, you guys should watch this video

its about the singapore flood.
damn funny stuff.

anyway, i would appreciate if u guys can recommend me schools
majors: biotech and industrial engineering.
thx.

see ya guys l8r.

Being critical about "boops" wrapping & gift

2010-11-20T21:28:00.000+07:00

Being critical..

definitely not my thing..

i mean like, being able to think critical about things and actually say what you really think about something.

so i guess its like being critical and honest at the same time.

but the problem with being critical

- people might get offended

and i am not good with people hating me.

problem with being honest about what you really think

- people think of you differently, then crap happens, and so on and so forth.

but once in a while, it feels great to be honest and critical.

you don't have to lie to yourself for the sake of letting people hear what they wanna hear.

a friend told me

"its your blog so they don't have power over it.."

well, damn straight she's right!

so, i guess i gotta be doing that huh?

anyone been to carrefour recently?

carrefour batam, kepri

just before you enter carrefour, there's a stall with the name

BOOPS

wrapping & gift

the first response: laughter

second response: so is it a place where "boops" get wrapped and given as a present?

haha.

anyway, that's all for now.

l8r.

Something to do

haha, just kidding.

so, what you guys up to?
i know for one everyone's goin' back to their hometown.
if it ain't the hometown, it's Switzerland, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
be honest. who wouldn't want to go?

but it's gonna be like a personal oath to myself.
travel the world, like go to every single country on this planet, and be president.
at this point you're probably tired of the word president, but hey, i really like that word.

a portion of a song whose lyrics just says it all

When I see your face

There’s not a thing that I would change

Cause you’re amazing

At this point of time, you're probably wondering what to take for college, and more importantly, where to take it?

have you figured what you would like to do with your life?
i have(n't)

too many options, too little time. besides, i haven't figured out what i want to do for the rest of my life. people i read in books, they figured what they want to do so it was kinda easy for them to decide what to make of their life.

but i'm pretty sure that my purpose in life is to make a difference. where to start, i don't know. i've been given a lot of chances to make that difference, but i never took any of them. guess regret always comes later. i learned my lesson, but then again, i need a mentor. someone to show me what to do, someone to guide me, someone to help. if you think you can be my mentor, feel free to apply. haha.

two weeks holiday. have you figured out what you're gonna do? i think i have. internet, playstation, movies, and study. oh yes, study and practice my guitar. and one more, homework. reminder for everyone, do your homework.

oh yeah, if you guys are reading this, can anyone help me get the email address for the Singapore MOE? and can anyone give me tips on how to actually enjoy music practice?

but at the end of the day, there's only one goal on my mind: to be president... of a country. preferably Indonesia.
