This is going to be like another “rule-breaking” moment where I’m going to blog a post WITHOUT pictures. Yeah, you are right. A post where you are not going to see my picture and my ‘angled’ face =P
So what am I blogging about, you must be thinking. What type of people I really cannot endure? Of course, I’m not classifying or discriminating, or having prejudice regarding any race, cultures or different socioeconomic status people.
Part A - A Tale About Signals
I’m talking about drivers who do not know how to signal when they wanna turn, or cut across to another road. I mean, of course you can do it when there are no cars around you, AT ALL. But, if you are approaching a cross junction, there’s a car wanting turn but because you might go straight, he stopped, just because you didn’t signal, then I believe you are low-class. I mean, come on… is it really that hard to exert SOME pressure on the stick beside the steering to show that you are turning right, turning left and going straight?
Hmm, I really wonder. Of course, I don’t mean you YOU. It’s just a pronoun. I’m not talking about a certain someone, but drivers who do not signal when they should in general. I’m not insulting, seriously. I just really think, signals are there for a reason, definitely not just an extra ORANGE ORNAMENT THAT BLINKS on your car. Just a small effort, you can not only save people’s time and patience, you can also save lives. Really, accidents happen for many reasons - not signaling is one of them.
Part B - DotA Etiquette?
Just had another DotA game earlier, I suddenly felt sorry for some of the gamers there. I mean, in a DotA match, there’ll be winners and losers, no? No matter how good you are at DotA, you definitely had lost a game before. This is the routine of life, you can be talented, but you can’t be superbly skillful at something since you were born. Well, this story is about some people I was playing with a while ago.
Generally, I admit I’m not a pro player, I just enjoy DotA-ing for the fun of it. Just a game, nothing to be too mad at each other, nothing to be so proud of by winning. You can feel happy, duh, but not arrogant. It’s a courtesy, I believe, to say “gg” (good game) when a game ends. A game, after all, is just for fun. But when my teammate (we’re losing the game) said “gg” to the other team; they responded by saying, “Of course-lah, you all think you all can win-meh?”. I mean, I didn’t feel angry at them. I sympathize them. I’m guessing that the only time they can be arrogant is probably in-game, when their identity is hidden and it is in a game world. Compared to me, where I can be proud of my achievements in a real world (not being arrogant, just a metaphor).
Really, it is, just a game. They may have beaten us, but I have played against teams far more skillful compared to them. If they are world’s number 1, and they decide to be arrogant, then such is their life =) Not really my problem anyway. But this particular team, yeah, they beat us. But they are 100 light-years away from one of the strongest team I played against before. And this strong team, is much more friendlier than this not-so-strong team. I’m pretty pissed off because they ‘arrogant-ed’ my friend. But hey, I don’t really like scolding people. I probably replied something like:
“:) what we think is really none of your business, no? :)”
When we killed Roshan (some monster which will drop a cool item), they came to kill us, and said, “Roshan for what, noobs? Roshan so what?”
And i was like, “Er, we wanna Roshan, so?”, “er…so?”
I mean, in conclusion, they really did not state any points at all. They are just saying things to make themselves feel higher-class. Sadly, that only made them lower-class. If you want others to respect you, first respect yourself. That is life, no? =) After all, it’s just a game. What we play, is what we enjoy. If the game becomes your life, then… what becomes of your life?
It is a penny for all of us to ponder ^^
That’s all for my ranting today. Sorry if I offended anyone, but if you are any of those above, as long as I don’t see you do it, I guess I won’t hate you. =P Lolx, just joking. I mean, really don’t take it seriously. I just feel like ranting XD
But really, don’t be angry. It’s just a blog post, after all. =)
Yet another overdue post! But still, I blogged about it, better late than never!
A huge thanks to Nuffnang for giving me tix to watch Beyond A Reasonable Truth (short: BARD)!! The show was actually pretty well done. I would rate it a 7.5/10. Even though I believe they sort of rushed through the ending of the show, the twist in the end was quite marvelous. If you thought FD4 was bullshit, try BARD to increase your faith in the movie industry; if you thought FD4 was awesome beyond comparison, don’t bother watching anything else.
Anyways, I invited Joshua Law to go watch with me~! Though like a day or 2 before the we went to watch, he got notified that he got tickets, too! But I was too lazy to find another, so he gave his tix away~ ^^
Aside from that, a very big THANK YOU to Ken for fetching me back home!! If he didn’t, I’d be stranded somewhere in Mid Valley. XD
Ken and his GF! They are an awesomely cute couple! =P
Zoe… and she decided to give me a new name: Lubricant Guy, just because I use Lip Balm. Hmmmm, does that make me special? But I’m always special, anyway~ =P
Joseph says he finally took a decent photo of him smiling…. it’s actually him SMIRKING. But it IS better than him giving me a depressed face… that’s what he usually calls his “photo taking” expression xD
Joshua Law! So many Joshuas! But this one dances! Awesome. He’s a really fun guy to hang out with! ^^
I had an awesome day! Lovely and met a lot of new people! And old people. =P I’m going to watch Surrogates’ premiere tonight! I’m looking forward to it and hopefully it will not disappoint me! Let me say thanks, in advance, to Ken again for fetching me tonight! =P
This is an overdue post… but hey! It’s my blog, I decide what to post first or next. XD
Anyway, right after Psychology’s orientation at September, i made some new friends! But, that aside, a couple of us became good friends and we went for a Karaoke session days after!
It’s like I went out with a junior 3 sems more junior, 4 sems more junior, and 8 sems more junior. Awesomeness!
Ohkay, that might sound a little confusing. It was Year 1 Sem 1, Year 2 Sem 1, Year 2 Sem 2 and Year 3 Sem 2 students hanging out.
Okay, nevermind, forget I said anything. XD But that was awesome! Student price at Redbox @ The Gardens costs us only around RM9.50 each, with 2 drinks and 4 hours of singing! That was pretty affordable! Don’t have to waste like RM10 just taking public transport to Sg. Wang for a RM9.20 Greenbox.
We ate dinner at… Sushi something. New store. Don’t really remember the name. I personally prefer Sakae Sushi. Especially its Tori Karaage Katsudon. ^^ Hahaha… Anyway. Here’s us!
Chicken Pox is rather suffering due to the itchiness… Luckily it is going to be a week soon, blisters are all drying up! Awesome!
Anyway, I spent my week reading two of the five books I bought earlier! I finished the 2 Percy Jackson series! I’m so in love with this series I’m promoting it here, abit. ^^
Percy Jackson’s written by Rick Riordan, about how Olympus still exist and evermoving, and now it is above New York. How the Greek Gods still fall in love with Mortals and bear child of Half Mortal-Half God descendance, known as Half-Bloods. How monsters of Ancient times always reborn every hundreds of years! Then these Monsters come and find these Half-Bloods to… Well, eat them. ^^
There are a total of Five books in this Series: Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief, Sea of Monsters, The Titan’s Curse, Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian.
The fifth book is the LAST book, which come out earlier this May, but I haven’t found it yet. Hope I can find it in one of the bookstores soon! ^^
WHAT’S MORE! The first Movie of Percy Jackson is coming out in 2010!!
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
I went to watch Beyond a Reasonable Doubt with Nuffnangers! But that’s another story. I went early to visit Borders at The Gardens. I won as much as RM200 voucher by winning Best Presenter and Best Group for my courses’ colloquiums! So happy! I used up RM30 for a book, I don’t remember which.
Anyway, so I went to The Gardens to get some new books!
2 Latest Books of Percy Jackson and…
3 Books from the Watch Series!
I feel so happy! ^^
To those who don’t know, I love reading books! Fictional Fantasy, especially! =P
