So ladies, you'll just have to try someone else yeah? But don't give up girls, the other lads haven't been snagged!

My Myvi, My Brother, and the Division Outing that Never Was…
I have not been updating my blog and I'm starting to feel guilty about it… nothing much has been happening in my very boring life lately and the only exciting thing that happened, isn't really a good thing. Well, I think you can tell from the title, something bad happened to the Myvi. And if anything can go wrong with a car 2 months into purchase, it's the car got into an accident. If you go to my brother's blog, you can see the damage… what happened? The CNS division wanted to do a division outing, they were supposed to go watch firework in Putrajaya. My brother was the designated driver. Some how, I'm not sure how, as I wasn't there, the my brother couldn't brake in time, resulting in the car knocking into the Myvi in front of it. The thing that irks me is that they were going slow and apparently, were 1.5 car lengths away. The repairs, I suspect may cost a pretty penny. We're claiming insurance though.
You can only imagine the stress we were feeling at home when my brother called to tell us what happened. Sigh! What matters is that no one got hurt. Ok, two people got hurt, but the good thing is no one got hurt too badly. Jason got a sprained ankle, Cze Wien sprained her thumb. They're all very lucky that they were all wearing their belts and that reduced the inertia that may have caused them to be flung forward more. I'm just damn grateful to God that they all got out without too much damage. The car however… URGH… so yeah, moral of the story? Ask my brother. Hahah!

Ghastly Accidents and Announcements...
Hey people! My supplementary paper is over! I'm so happy for that! I think if I have to look at GEN 3030 again, I'm either really cursed and all heavenly beings hate my sorry behind, or I'm just plain stupid. Been a tiring week so far. I've been feeling lethargic and moody. It doesn't help that the weather is not looking up. The haze seems to have returned in our little part of the world. It's not as bad as it was a couple of years back when the government declared a state of emergency of sorts. The university has not seen the need to open up the classrooms till after 6 for the students to study yet. I just hope that the weather doesn't get any worse.
Right now, it's the Chinese version of Halloween. Or to be more precise and exact, the Chinese are celebrating the "Ghost Month". I'm not very superstitious, but ask every Chinese person what they think of this month and they will all say, without a doubt, that this is NOT the month to go around doing stupid things. As if to mark the month off, yesterday, being the first day of the month, 20 people were killed in a bus accident on the NPE. Two people died near the science centre and an accident occurred right in front of uni as I was coming out of the labs. There wasn't any death caused in that particular accident, but in this case, it was the taxi's fault.
So yeah, I'm in the university library doing my work now that my paper is over. I just find it a good place to do some studying, napping and just chilling. I can eat here, there's a toilet not very far away, and it's not too noisy and not too quiet. I have assignments and reports that I put on hold for my paper so I do all of them in the library during my insanely long breaks. There are benefits to being in this place aside from what I just mentioned. I get to observe the types of "nerds" we have in uni. There are the really study-till-I-freaking-drop types, there's the scholarship kids that need to make the grade to keep their scholarship, there are the napping slackers that come here when there's no where else to go and then there's the people like me. The ones that have work to do, which is why they camp in the library... it's a sort of metamorphosis into the uber nerd. This is the crucial stage in that development.
Anyhow, I just heard the most amusing announcement ever. The library is doing some sort of renovation in the library. Minor ones, though. The thing is there was an announcement to inform the students that it would carry on until around 3. The thing about this announcement is the closing statement. I think I was the only one that caught the error as no one else in the library snorted in amusement at the error. Let me tell you what I hear, and before you say something about me not hearing properly or some shit like that, the woman on the PA system made the same mistake... TWICE! Hahah! Anyhow, this is what I heard:
"Kindly apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you,"
Do you see the error? Hahah!

Replying a Comment…
In response to a comment left on my blog regarding my road to self discovery. One individual asked why I hate females and love guys to bits. This is where I need to clarify myself. I know it seems that way to most people. I also realise that I may pass off as rude and "unlikable" to others. I'm honestly sorry if I may have insulted people with my lack of tack, but to be honest, there are people that I'm rude to that deserve it. If you can refer to my group of friends being somewhat like me, I believe you are from our uni. When I'm with these people, I tend to be rude and harsh, but it's within my group of friends. We know all the rudeness and harsh words are all just fun and games because when it boils down to who's nice and not, we know we can depend on each other (I hope!).
Another thing is that I do not hate girls. Yes, I have had bad experiences where hanging out with girls has only resulted in me being hurt and disappointed, but that's the case with most people. I have a few good girlfriends that I care and love deeply (Fats, Steph, Kate, Vonne, Jules). Some other girlfriends I talk to occasionally but I enjoy their company (Mabel, nick's friends from SSG, Justine, Sin Yee). Some of the girls I hang out with are not very close to me, but I don't mind them as they aren't fake and artificial as other girls are. Most tom boys grow up to be girls like me. We are sorely mistaken for ignoring the fairer sex to prefer the company of males. Men are less complex, scheme less. I know because I'm a girl. I'm not a guy in a girl's body… that would be gross. Think about it… I'm dating a guy. Me being a guy in a girl's body would mean I'm gay? I don't have sexual tendencies towards females, though I am curious what it may make me feel.
Girls do not intimidate or challenge my individuality. If that were the case, I wouldn't be the individual I am today. I honestly can say I don't want to be the stereotype girl who is prim and proper. I don't believe in double standards in treatment of ladies. Yes, I love a little chivalry from men once in a while, but if it goes to the point where "women are meant to be at home, men the sole breadwinners" I would not sit down for it. I admit, I'm rude. I curse like a sailor and I don't take shit from anyone and dish it out if I feel they deserve it. If I have insulted you in the past, I'm sorry, but I believe that if it hurts, it's true. I'm not your average girl. Never have been, and never plan to be.
So Anonymous, thank you for your insight. I'll make an effort not to be so rude and insulting to people I don't really know that well in case I may insult them (or you). However, I will not act "more like a girl" as you so eloquently put it. It wouldn't be me to. I act as I please and feel so if the mood's right, I'll be a lady, if not, you'll be served a full dosage of the Daily Beat. Cheerio!

UNCIVILISED PEOPLE ARE IN OUR MIDST…
Monash. We're an international university, right? We're using a new and clean campus right? We're studying at a campus which provides us with a great learning environment and I love the new study commons in the library. I love the architecture, though it somehow reminds me of a governmental building, but it's nice and new. And I love it quite a bit.
I don't mind the small cafeteria so much as we are uni students and we can find our way around to finding food that doesn't cost us a limb. I don't mind the small student lounge being so cramped and congested whilst the staff lounge has designer couches and are about the size of double the student lounge. I don't mind that the staff have 50% discount off parking and more seasonally parking spaces allocated to them. I don't mind that our PVC doesn't have answers but keeps promising to "look into this issue,". I don't mind it all that much… or do I? But today, that isn't the issue. Want to know what is?
I CANNOT STAND IDIOTS THAT SQUAT ON SITTING TOILETS!!!! What the fuck is wrong with you STUPID girls?! A SITTING toilet is for SITTING on! You don't climb on top of the toilet seat to squat then pee/ shit! Bloody hell! If you don't want to sit on the damn thing, line it with toilet paper! It's there in the loo!!! You're a uni student for fucks sake! Use the brain you apparently have to deduce whether the toilet is meant for squatting on or sitting on!
Want to know what brought about this outburst? You may think, "Ah, Beat's just PMS-ing or something,". Oh, but I assure you, if you were subjected to the horrors of the stupidity and disgustingness some of the females in our uni. I wish I knew who the hell did what I'm about to say in this blog so I could go up to her and give her a piece of my mind… these girls are a shame to the entire female population!
Want to know the issue? Well, it's like this. Just now, I was studying in the library and needed to go to the loo. So off I went. I usually take sitting toilets as they tend to be less messy, less pee not many people like to use them. So I turn into the first cubicle. Some STUPID BITCH SHAT THERE AND DIDN'T FUCKING FLUSH THE LOO!!! To make matters worse, she SQUATED ON THE DAMN BOWL! Hello!!!! Don't you freaking see the flush button?! Is it so hard to push it? Or does you itty bitty finger seem to delicate to push it, yet you can balance on the toilet seat and shit your fucking ass off?! Fine, I wrinkle my nose in disgust and shake my head at the idiocy that occurred.
I walk to the next cubicle and push the door open… FUCK! That's the first word that popped into my head. To be exact, "What the fuck…" was what followed my thoughts. I remind you, I'm in the university loo. I'm not in a public loo smack in the middle of KL. I'm not in the bus station loo. I'm not anywhere in a loo that smells like puke, shit and piss, yet… you know what I see?! A LUMP OF SHIT ON THE TOILET SEAT! A FREAKING LUMP OF SHIT ANS STAINS WHERE THE REST ROLLED OFF THE SEAT INTO THE BOWL… &!$%!~!*!$&%*^)!*$&^()@%*@&!($*$%&%*#( )!
BUGGERING FUCK SHIT AND ALL THAT'S FOUL AND GHASTLY!
IN A GIRL'S LOO!!!!! It's just sick-making!
And I thought guys were uncouth. Fuck. This stupid shit of a person shat on the toilet seat!!! Does anyone think of the poor mak cik that has to clean the loo?! If the idiot who did this could flush the loo, why the fuck can't you use a tissue and flick your shit into the loo! In the first place, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU SQUAT ON A SITTING TOILET!!!
Ok. I'm really pissed off at the mentality of majority of the Malaysian females and Malaysians. Most of them do it, and I'm embarrassed to say that when I was small I used to too, but with the toilet seat up, and with my mum's instructions. At least now, I learn, if I want to squat, I go to the squatting loo and if the cubicle is occupied and the sitting one is the only one available, I'll line it with tissue or "hover" so my ass doesn't touch the footprints on the seat. By the way, hovering is damn uncomfortable, but worth it.
Malaysian ladies out there that read my blog, if you squat on sitting toilets, please, for all that's clean and hygienic sake, line the seat with paper, or hover if you must. Be civilised for all the civilised people in the world. I'm scarred for life with the mental image of the shit. I swear I'll think twice whenever I use that toilet.
Ps. If you were the one that left the shit there in the bowl or on the seat, YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT. DO THIS STUFF AT HOME AND SEE HOW YOUR MUM WOULD REACT. Think of the poor mak cik la you fuck shits.
Pss.. I know this post is full of words that would make your eyes burn, but can you blame me? I'm trying to portray how smelly and disgusting it is with words…
Psss… this is not a post to directly offend the uni. Believe me this, if anything, I love my university, hence me doing this post. If you're the Monash admin, I'm sorry if you don't like the language or my "subtle" stabs at the things I'm not satisfied with in uni. I have brought it up to MUSA and student services. Still waiting for some form of response in regard to that!

Anyone want to help me on my road of self-discovery?
Just had a heart to heart with an old and close friend. He helped me clear my head over a few things that have been bugging me a little… my over active mind has been processing a few things today and this week hasn't been the best week of the semester. I won't go into details what went wrong, but suffice to say, I have some fixing to do.
It's times like these that I thank God I have friends I know I can rely on. Friends, I know, that do not have an ulterior motive behind everything they do. Thanks WH for your words. You really cleared a few things up for me and gave me the POV that I needed. I'll try to work on your advice. Oh, and I hope you all the best and all the happiness between you and Yoong! See! I made a personal dedication for you on my blog, k!!! *giggle!*
This is, I dare say one of the worst weeks this new sem. I broke my gel in lab, I had two rather upsetting incidents, both that occurred at inopportune times, accidentally insulted a friend (didn't realise my comment was taken wrongly…), falling sick, I left my GEN3030 notes in the lounge (which I will be grabbing tomorrow morning), I broke a toenail, and chipped a fingernail. The last two doesn't really matter to me though.
My supplementary paper's on the 13th august. People, please wish me luck. Good luck preferably. I'm worried as hell and honestly, I have so much shit to think of right now, I'm wondering if I will be coming out of this semester alive… I know I'm sounding very melodramatic, but I dare say you would if you had been going through this very same week as I have.
Just a general question though… honestly, seek deep within the bowels of your souls, what do you think of me? When you see me in uni, or judging from my blog, what kind of person do you think I am? You can remain anonymous, I don't mind. But just let me know, yeah? Thanks people…
Ps. Not looking for praises or an ego boost. I want to know the bad, the dirty, the ugly and all that you think. Don't hold back. I'd appreciate it. Who knows? Maybe what you say may make me a better person and awaken me to things I didn't realise about myself! REMEMBER!!! Just the truth… nothing but the truth, k? Thanks people.
