My Thoughts About Valentine's Day

A short one. I promise. Haha.

Everything become expensive. ONE flower which originally cost RM2.50 at most will cost RM15 OR MORE.

So? Why must people think that a special day for romance should be on ONE particular day - the execution day of a Roman saint, too? Pretty depressing, if you ask me. If people want to think that getting executed after sending a love note is romantic. Let's all get executed, too after sending a love note to our loved one. :D

Some people may think I'm being cynical. I'm not. I'm just being straight with what I think. And logical.

Lalala...

Go figure.

Valentine's Day Fuss

Let me start with:-

Saint Valentine, for whom the famous day is named. Archaeologists, who unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to St. Valentine, are not sure if there was one Valentine or more. Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred on February 14 -- at least two of those in Italy during the 3rd century. The most popular candidate for St. Valentine was a 3rd century Roman priest who practiced Christianity and performed secret marriages against direct orders from Emperor Claudius II, who believed single soldiers were more likely to join his army. Legend has it that Valentine sent a friend (the jailer's daughter) a note signed "From Your Valentine" before he was executed on February 14 in 270 A.D.

Now, if this history was true, why do we consider Valentine's Day as a day for romance when a priest had been executed on the date?

I really find it annoying that people fuss over not having anyone to celebrate Valentine's Day with anyone.

Can you just get a life for once and stop fussing about it?

Personally, Valentine's Day is just a day... UNLESS it was an anniversary with your significant other...

Owh well.

My 300th Post Is For The Security Guards

I noticed one thing. Every bank there is, every place where it requires a security guard, it is ALWAYS an old man sitting down guarding.

No doubt, these security guards are ex-policemen and they have experience but don't people pity them or something? No doubt, the job looks easy but actually, this is what I think. It is NOT as easy as it seems.

A security guard is not about sitting down watching a place or whatever but... you have to be on the alert. The poor old security guards are often look very tired and sleepy. There are times, I see them sleeping while on guard duty.

Don't the employer pity them? I am being rather rational to think about this actually but I think it is not fair for them. Although they are the ones applying for the job but at least give them something easier to do.

I don't know what else to say about it all because I just don't like seeing old men guarding places like banks and jewel shops. Places which are robbery prone. I cannot imagine the poor old man running after the robber. I cannot imagine the poor old man holding a gun, which is heavy, shooting trying to aim at the robber. If he was Allan Quatermain from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, maybe it is a different story.

Sometimes, these old men should be given credit or extra money for what they do. I mean, seriously, they are working hard to be what they are and I now that some people actually look down on them.

Why can't we just get the young people get the job rather than old men to be security guards?

That is just my thought. Owh well.

2 Scores and 5 Facts About Jaja

1. I am a cat magnet. I tend to have cats trailing behind me everywhere I go.

2. I write poems at my best when I am feeling rather emotional. That is when I tend to let everything out when I am facing a bad day. Or when I am in a bad mood.

3. I can be pretty unIslamic where forgiving is concerned. I don't let go of grudges very easily. Once it is hate, it will be hate for the rest of my life. I don't forgive easily. Quite honestly, I never really forgave my aunt for making my elder sister cry just because of Athena's name! Given the chance, I would murder somebody just for messing with my good side or betraying my trust.

4. I am a sucker for plush toys especially those reminding me of my childhood like the Care Bears or My Little Pony OR kitty cats and ducks. Everywhere I go I must bring ONE small kitty plush toy with me. My favorite plush toy would be the black kitty with gigantic green eyes which I got from New York! :D

5. I HATE clubbing places. Why? A lot of people who can't seem to control their brains when having more than one drink tend to cause trouble there. It is bad enough I have one too many bad experiences with the guys I date going to places like those. Because of that, thank God, Akim doesn't go there anymore.

6. Akim maybe younger than me but he acts like he is older than me. *grins*

7. I get easily high on over dosage of chocolates. DARK CHOCOLATES. I don't like milk chocolate or white chocolates because it is just too bloody sweet for me. I don't like it one bit. But dark chocolates, I could munch on them the whole day without complaining.

8. I get easily addicted to food. One day is all about ayam penyet. Another is all about blackpepper beef rice. The other will be all about tanghoon fishball soup! :P

9. MY FAVORITE THING TO EAT IS CHICKEN but I hate the bones! Hehe! Hence the nickname, (go figure). HAHAHAHA! Whenever I go out and eat with Akim, well, he knows well enough that I only like the flesh and the great part is, we can work together since he loves to eat the bone!

10. Currently, I am addicted to games like Cooking Dash and iSpy games! *LoL*

I hope I could watch We Will Rock You, Wicked, Hairspray, Grease, The Producers, Avenue Q, Sweeney Todd, Whistle Down The Wind, Les Miserable and some more others in the future. Hehe! Broadway musicals always have this thing on me. I always feel like crying when it starts and when it ends! Hehe!

14. Purposely put this here, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN VALENTINE'S DAY. Why? I don't think celebrating a dead saints' death day would be a good idea for a day for love and romance. Hm. To me, your anniversary with your significant other or husband/wife is a special day for love and romance.. hehe!

15. My natural clumsiness involving my forehead is a since young thing. When I was younger, I would always 'officiate' the hotel room with me knocking my head against something. Haha! A holiday is never complete without me knocking my head against something.

16. I have low respect for guys who cheat on their girlfriends who are so into them. Guys like them should just die and disappear from the face of the Earth!

18. Like everyone, I have a guilty pleasure and that is Boyzone. Period.

The Main Members of the Keribang Clan

Yeah. That is us. All of us in Kuching that is.

Bob. Hazie. Me. Akim. Ijan.

Unfortunately, Jay is not in Kuching. My history with the clan.

BOB:- I met Bob for the first time on October 22nd 2008 at Pop Wave II. He was working there with Ijan. Hehehe. We didn't talk much then though. Then eventually we became close.

HAZIE:- Believe it or not, Hazie was meant to be my younger sister's friend. Wait. It was like this actually. Hazie's younger sister was supposed to be my younger sister's friend but eventually my sister and Hazie clicked. Then, until one day, Bob told me about a girl he fell in love with and her name was Hazie. When I investigated, he said that her Dad has a clinic and immediately I knew which Hazie he meant.

AKIM:- Please read Our Second Month Anniversary to know how I met Akim in person ;) But I didn't put in that entry on how he waited for me for 3 years ;D Actually, THREE YEARS ago, I came across this chatter who was a friend of Ijan's. So, I begged him to join PGX. He did. In PGX, he sent me a private message saying he wanted to be my friend. Then he asked for my number. Since I was in a relationship then, I told him I had a boyfriend so I won't be giving my handphone number unnecessarily. He never contacted me via PGX since. UNTIL. Last year. Hehe!

IJAN:- Ijan and I met for the first time in 2005 but I had been chatting with him via IRC since 2004. It is amazing how he remained my friend after how I ditched him for 3 years because of a freak. Ijan remain to be the person I can always count on to make me laugh. Since before. Till now.

JAY:- Honestly, I didn't really like Jay when I first chatted with him in 2004, but I learnt to tolerate him and I knew what kind of person he truly is.

I am glad I got to know them all though, they made me laugh all the time. They are supportive of me.

I love them. They are my extended family. They are the 2nd most important people in my life besides my family and the Jutology girls..

Sluts Who Doesn't Seem To Know When To Stop

They still exist. Often behaving like in the title are girls who think that they are so pretty when they are not that pretty. They often look like girls people would pick up at a dark area. They often look like girls who satisfy men for the sake of money.

They really looks the type who would sleep with any men they can get their hands on.

What does this have to do with everything? A Clan-Sister was disturbed by her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend. That girl, let's give her a name, Gwen, can't seem to stop bugging my Clan-Sister just because she is Gwen's boyfriend's ex. Why can't she just let go and not bother?

Why should she taunt my Clan-Sister when the poor girl didn't even do anything to Gwen?

Now, I am pretty sure the Clan is going after Gwen's boyfriend. That is what I am afraid of. It all started from a bitch bothering someone who seem to not know what is really going on.

DAMN!

Can't They Just Stop It?

They just can't seem to mind their own business. As if I am so stupid! Why would people ask them about me when they can ask ME themselves?

Irrational, right? Nosy people. Always telling fibs just to dig secrets from other people. Don't they think they are NOT crossing the border Bob drew for us the other day. Eventually, THEY will step within my side of the line. All for being bloody nosy.

Look, why should they bother at all when I am no longer related to them in any possible way? Gosh.

Will they ever grow up?

Will they ever learn?

Stupid people! They can't even handle their own lives, they want to mind other people's business. I hate it, I really do.

DECLARATION: Akim is not a coward like someone I used to date. That idiot. His body seems big but his heart is like a mouse. Cowardly! I think even a mouse is braver than him!

People who never go beyond their coconut shell will never see the world as it is. They fail to admit it because they are too egoistic about the whole bloody thing. They are ashamed to show how mindless they are. How narrow-minded they are.

Hey, considering these are the people who criticise me for SPEAKING ENGLISH! Owh well. Like said, people who never go beyond their coconut shell will never see the world as it is.

And. Getting easily threatened by songs by Tupac is actually part of the reasons why they are so narrow-minded. Owh well. What to do? Such people exist. Sad. But true.
