Freddy - my favorite creature

This office I'm sitting in is just dead. People move their hand routinely, talk in the same monotonous tone, answer phone calls with that same ridiculous phrase every now and then. 2 days through internship and the idea of being a zoo keeper now seems possible for me as I cannot stand 10hrs per day confined by walls. I would either escape or commit suicide if I were to be jailed. 
Anyway, the topic today is not about this boring office. It is about the one element that differentiate my room from all these "exorbitantly monotonous" places ( or fking boring in my language). 
It is about the light that shines upon our dark room that lies at the corner of the corridor.
It is about the mere source of entertainment that we ( i + roomates) have in the past 1 year
It is actually about the best source of entertainment
It is about one creature that can do the trademark hand trick that no other human being ( in my hostel) can do
It is about one creature that can bring us so much laughter, so much that I think the only that  man can surpass his talent is Russell Peter. 
It is about Freddy
So what is Freddy?
Physically Freddy looks like combination of all these animals



Mentally Freddy possesses the most unique brain on earth. Freddy would just do the exact opposite things that human do. He ( btw Freddy is a male) eat when people dont eat, sleep when people are awake and stay up when people are already in their dreams. Scientifically, we should classify this species under nocturnal creature. Freddy possesses information through a reversed way. He fills his brain with useless stuff and yet leave what is necessary outside of his brain. I know all school stuff but Freddy would be the first one to know stuffs like human species has succeeded in advancing their stimulated sexual experience through 3 dimensional pornography.
Freddy does think critically and that s why he got into this critical thinking class conducted by an Indian Master Guru who believes that any species can think. An apprentice of this Guru whose origin is from the far far  mysterious land called Vietnam was assigned to tame Freddy, and teach him critical thinking. Their aim is to make Freddy evolve into a higher order, mysteriously powerful creature in which the Indian Guru saw in India .Master Guru says it possesses great brain power that surpasses human's, plus a hazardous gaze from its eyeballs and Indian myths recognize it as Mohan.
Although Freddy has hitherto remained Freddy-like and at nowhere Mohan-like, the gurus still hope one day he would evolve.
Freddy is an earth-friendly species, not harmful to the environment like those stupid cows. All he eats is junk food, which further proves my point of being earth-friendly. With less junk food left on earth, there would be less number of people turning fat, and that is all thanks to Freddy's appetizer. Logic right?Stories from the Indian Guru taught me to think logically... Morever, Freddy has an amazing ability to control his own body mass, just as how geckos can adapt to the environment's colours. He can decrease his body mass so fast that no other creatures with the most advanced abilities can. Give him an apple per day and he can lose 10kg in 2 weeks. Amazing right? For more amazing facts you can search on animalplanet.com
Although Freddy is not Mohan-like, but Freddy-like is already a very advanced state in the evolution tree. Apart from the body mass controlling ability i have stated above, Freddy possesses two more abilities
Firstly, he can survive alone. In zoology we call it solitary species. In today's world, with more and more deforestation and destruction of environment, the life of those species that live in hordes is being endangered. Smaller habitats cannot accommodate hordes anymore. Species must evolve and learn how to survive independently. And yes, freddy has already been one step faster than nature by possessing that skill
Freddy can eat alone, walk alone, observe alone ( aka watching movies), and it once sneaked out to Mc donald alone... This phenomenon is amazing as scientists have yet to prove how freddy became so advanced compared to other species
Secondly freddy can do his trademark handshake. I have a record of this ability which i have already submitted to discovery channel for a documentation. You may watch it on youtube soon. This ability involves extreme control of hand wrist as well as flexibility. Freddy's middle finger can easily touch both front and back sides of his hand. Normal human can only bend down to 60 degrees at most. Scientists have yet to fully understand the use of this ability but for such a fascinating ability, there must be a reason why it is there. Theories through real life documentation has only proposed the use for mating, as some witnesses saw Freddy trying to mate around with females from other species by showing his handshake. Poor Freddy, he is too smart and this make him realise the possibility of extinction that his species faces. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
However, despite all these abilities, there are still some parts of freddy that hinders him from becoming Mohanised. 
Freddy cannot smile. Being emotionally challenged, Freddy is unable to demonstrate his happiness by flexing his levator anguli oris to make him smile. This significantly decreases Freddy's chance of mating compared to other species such as Louisis or Raydomungus. Hope that by time, God would realise this flaw in Freddy and ask revolution to add a smile on his face. Meantime, all he can do is bringing smiles and laughters to others. 
Apart from being emotionally challenged, Freddy is aesthetically challenge. It's not about being pretty or not, as Freddy's appearance is comparably better than most of the lower species such as Dizonika or Chinamania.
It s just Freddy is musically challenged. Freddy cannot produce a C sound. Its such a pity to watch Raydomungus, the advanced creature in singing trying to teach Freddy how to sing a C note. Freddy was called for sound tests twice but lost to most of other species. 
But overall, Freddy is still a wonderful creation of God. Freddy brings laughter, fun and all memories that I would never forget. I don't want Freddy to evolve because if every species in this world is Mohanised, I would dig myself a grave and jump down. 
So ya, i have just decided to give further covers about Louisis, Raydomungus, Ducita and i promise more stuffs about Chinamania
Stay tuned
:)



cannot smile.....

Future.....?

Time flies and looking back at our secondary school years reminds us all of how fast present transforms into the long-lost past.
So if no action is taken, the present we are living in would just become yesterday in a blink of an eye.
Nowadays, our present is too much occupied by useless stuff that there is actually no time spent for contemplating about our past, dreaming about future.
Nostalgia was my previous post, now would be about future.
Normally, I am an expert in wasting time. Walking randomly around town, sitting in front of laptop screen for hours with no specific aim. However, it s just recent that i realize my brain is actually steeped in the "future mode". I think a lot about my future.
Ever ask yourself these questions:
1. what do you want to be? career?
a.  money or job satisfaction? The first choice seems to be too mundane compared to the second option which sounds much more sophisticated. But isn't being rich fun and awesome?
b. would you travel around the world for working?
2. who will be your life partner?
a. will you live in your hometown? or somewhere else and leave your parents die lonely?
b. would he or she be a foreigner? speak english? if not then how the hell would he or she communicate to your family?
blah blah blah
too much things to think about.
yet my friends are still busy learning how to dance K-pop.

Nostalgia

Memory sucks
It pulls you back from reality, inducing you with the thought that life is getting worse, and good things are left behind far far away in that small part of your brain called thalamus.
But it is sweet
and i accept it. past was great to a certain extent
especially for a scholar staying away from home for 4 years
Vietnam was great... and totally different
Past is about

Running in the rain




















Parents are paranoid about how their children may catch a flu running under the rain... Isn't showering the same thing?

Getting a colourful street-side balloon






















Just be a good boy and mommy would buy one for you during weekends

Cyclo

















Taxi is too expensive and cycling is too dangerous for a kid. and this is what the solution is. The nice part that you dont get nowadays is listening to the driver whistling, chatting with you. There used to be one poet in town who worked full time as a cyclo driver. The job gives him inspiration...

Chinese New Year
















This has always been the most important thing... dragon dance... ang pao.... chinese new year was great.
And I'm skipping school this year to go back

Cycling

































I cycled everywhere. Not as slow as walking but not too fast as compared to driving a card or motorcycle. Life becomes livelier in slow motion
This is where the old uncle would help me fix the tire. Look at the wall at the left hand side. It says" Awesome Laos"
Apparently Laos won Thailand in 98' Tiger Cup soccer so that Vietnam can continue to quarter final. In Vietnam, soccer is god

Soccer




















National pride... It's sad seeing Singaporeans nowadays flocking to the stadium to support EPL teams, without even bothering about their own players. Vietnam team is not so good, but the supporters are just so cool that when you were a kid, it is automatically understood that soccer is the king of sport.
My dad literally forced me to watch soccer. It took him 2 years until I become what I am today... skipping school just to watch midnight matches
It would be great if my girlfriend know about soccer, haha

Chinese chess

















My grandpa is a master in this game. Among all my cousins, I'm the only one who can play and he loves playing chess with me. I lost all the time. Playing chess has always been the reason he stated so that my parents would bring me to his house.
He is getting older and older. I start winning him now and then and suddenly my heart sank realizing that it's just him who is losing his wisdom, not me improving in my game
I haven't played chess with him for more than half a year

Coffee


















A loaf of bread, a newspaper and a cup of coffee. thats a typical Vietnam morning
Vietnam ranks second in the world for coffee exporting, and our coffee quality is among the top
I hate those people who act as if they are really professional in coffee glorifying coffee from Europe. " Oh, I'm drinking an Italian Cappuccino, a French mocha". Please, they DON'T grow coffee in Europe
FYI, that is a filter. Raw coffee beans are grinded and filtered through that metal case. Quality? 10 times better than the instant coffee we see everywhere.
Coffee is a culture
I would rather suffer with coffee than be senseless -Napoleon Bonaparte


Some of this would be faded with time, some are still there and some are gone forever. But non would disappear from that tiny little part of the brain that stores memory... what was it? i need to google again. oh, thalamus, or whatever it is

School has just ended and time now becomes something that is so redundant, ironically
And that is why this blog is created. Too much time, yet not spent
Hi
I'm Hung
I shall not introduce myself, since every aspect of me, emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically would be obvious through the words that I write here in this blog.
This would be the place that i pour out my thoughts...na....more like unshared thoughts since i think a lot ( haha, my brain overloads). People say suicidal cases mostly occur for those that they don't expect to commit such acts, yet due to so much hidden problems that they chose to leave. I still love my life so creating this blog is a step I take to somehow reduce the possibility of me leaving this world .
That sounds scary. Just to clarify, I'm not socially deprived and if you think I'm going to jump soon after writing these lines then you are wrong.
I still have a wonderful family.
I still have great friends.
I live in a 4 bedded room filled with music in the air every night.
Even my friend's golden retriever loves me, as it tried to hump me 3 days ago.
It's just me.
Trying to figure out what's happening in my head.
So yah, following this blog is like walking on El Camino, or the road ( its just that the road sounds weird for a blog's title).
You and me.
Together we can try to figure out what is happening in our head......
