Cold

Spring was great
But summer is over
And we missed autumn
Now all I see is winter........

After one awesome day of ponning ( or whatever correct word that i don't bother checking) work, I'm back to the office.

It's always boredom that makes people write. From my point of view, poets sitting at lakeside or mountain top and staring at one spot for more than 2 hours are just trying to reach that state of boredom so that they can write, just as how monks sit there all days doing nothing trying to reach Nirvana state.... ohm... 

I'm writing this post with two great assumptions. First one is that you have watched HIMYM, the coolest show on Earth, the one that I followed all the way back since 2008, when people were still thinking that it's lame. If you haven't watched then you can just close this tab now because the title of this post would make you think I'm a gay, which certainly would never happen in one zillion years. The second assumption is that you love it. If you don't then you can just fuck off.

So HIMYM fans, stumbling across the CBS blog, I just want to share a few thoughts about this cool concept introduced in season 4. Recap, what is Naked Man? The innovative seducing method created by the primitive cavemen, whom we have to give credit to as Barney stated that they were fearless men who dare to try, to do, to survive, to live among not only saber-tooth tigers and dangerously wooly mammoths, but also lady cavemen who were really, really hairy.

Step 1:

You and the woman you clubbed enjoy rotting deer carcass by torch light

 Step 2:

Your woman steps out to use the little girl's cave. You take off your loin cloth

 Step 3:

Delighted by your boldness and unharnessed masculinity, she would fall for you

This works.... 2 out of 3 times

2 out of 3 times. However, my point is not how fun this concept is but rather the what it means for me. It's about being "open" to everyone. Though you need not reach the extent of literally go naked but yes, wouldn't this be a much better place to live if everyone is nakedly open to each other? 2 out of 3, it is a 66.66% success chance and by probability it is an obviously better choice so why don't go for it? Why are we so scared of that one third chance of being rejected. Then I recall what happened in my life and how it would change if i were to apply Naked Man. Let's just assume that the 2/3 ratio is correct.

If I were to stand up in the middle of Chem lecture and shout out : this is bull shit, there is a one third chance that i get kicked out of school, laughed by friends for trying to act rebellious and two third chance of the school changing the teacher, my friends admiring me. Should I go for it?

If I were to tell this friend of mine that he is getting annoying and there is a 2/3 chance that he would shut up, 1/3 he gets more annoying, should i say it?

If I were to tell a girl that I want to hang out with her and there is only 33.33% that I am rejected, shouldn't I?

Even if the ratio was 2/3 I don't think I would dare to... or even when it goes down to 1/4, 1/5...

It's just that I'm scared of failing

Are you? 

December

December arrives with countless tiny droplets of water, moisture and the abysmal sky.

December is like seeing a girl with a sad face who breaks down occasionally, wet your shirt and dampens your day.

The blush of her face every time you look at her now fades into that annoying grey color. 

Remember spring? When you used to look at her for hours, seek for comfort and understanding from her clear blue eyes, wait for the gentle touch that is just gentle as morning breeze. Now your eyes would just end up wet if you look at her for too long.

Remember summer? When every morning you would look out of your window and smile to her yellow beams of sunlight, glowing so bright that they would brighten up your day. Scientists admire her smile so much that they wanted to capture it for eternity, that they invented those lifeless panels just to save the remnant.

Remember autumn? When the whole world hold their breath and look at her just to wait for her silvery smile. Her smile brings hope, as myths say that by closing your eyes and make a wish when she smiles, your dreams would come true. 

Now she is just there crying.

But you cannot do anything.

If she's about to cry, running away is usually the choice people made. And the best thing you can do is to take out your umbrella to separate you away from her sorrow, her teardrops.

She meant so much to you.

Why not try to comfort her one day?

Why not stay there and feel her tears?

Why not stand there and let her cry over your shoulder?

Try,

You may understand.

Tears that my heart could not release 

Fell down from Heaven, bringing         peace.
Last night while gray clouds softly     wept,
I held you in my arms and slept..........

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

24/11/2010

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......
