I'm Hopelessly Narrow Minded

(Monday)
~*30/06/08*~

That day I was called hopeless by a friend and was called narrow minded by my girlfriend…haha...can't remember why me girl called me that...but we had a fight...then my friend IM'ed me during the fight...telling me about his other problems...I told him to forget it...before I could finish my sentence, he was pissed off...well, the other problem although was somehow related to him, but not at a personal level. He was having a really bad month...I wanted to told him to just block other problems & get himself back to shape before he handles other problems...unfortunately I didn't manage to get a word out...He was pissed off really bad...saying I don't care and all that...I know you have problems, but I do have problems myself...I know your problems, but do you know mine? Please be considerate...Sigh...really hate this other methods of communications...always send the wrong message. Prefer a good face-to-face talk...That way, miscommunication is set to a minimum.

So I got scolded by two people that day...and I was at my limit...I just had a great time yesterday and today before I managed to tell people how much fun I had...I was turned down because of their problems or what not...I'm not talking about only today...It had happened a couple of times previously...Its okay for people to have a great time and brag about it and don't bother to listen to my problems, but its not okay for ME to do it??? I got really damn fed up about that...My girlfriend understood and comforted me...Thanks dear & I apologize for you for taking the brunt of all my frustrations...Love you dear!

Play test 4th Edition & Poker

(Sunday)
~*29/06/08*~

Finally! Got the D&D 4^th edition! Me and some of me buddies did a playtest on the game…the game had a complete makeover…A tiny fraction of the combat system I admire…but the rest…I must say I was disappointed. The game had just become an mmorpg genre for some reason…pity…But I do love the new Dungeon Master book…It was better informed on how to become a dungeon master... In this 4^th edition, I won’t be a DM, only a player…for the sake of continuing the game that me and me friends had spend quite a lot for the past several years…

That nite we played poker with better rules…it was enjoyable…I had a blast that day, since it was the first time in a couple of months since I got to do what I really wanted to do…

Plans down the drain...

(Saturday)
~*28/06/08*~

A bunch of plans were cancelled since everyone was busy & stuff…really a boring day

Mentor Wanted

(Friday)
~*27/06/08*~

Me mentor’s last day…Thanx dude for all the teachings and lessons that you have imprinted into me thick skull…hope to see you around! Cheers!

Watched the movie “Wanted” that night…really cool movie…cheeky on how they explain their “abilities”…hehe…But what I really like is how the Fraternity exist and how they get their missions from…a very good idea! Never thought of that in a modern day movie…that was really good and the part where the hero enter the enemy stronghold with guns blazing and tossing…simply amazing!

crime rate going up?

(Thursday)
~*26/06/08*~

Just found out one of me customers purse got snatched…what is the world coming to?

birthday bash...literally

(Wednesday)
~*25/06/08*~

A friend of mine got whacked by some thugs and they stole his handphone on his way from the LRT station…and it was his birthday…managed to see him last nite to see how he is...got some cuts and stiches…sent him home…man, that guy had one helluva bad month…

1st Game of Poker & The Reunion

(Sunday)
~*22/06/08*~

Had me 1^st game of poker at a friends house and it was really fun! Though it was kinda messy since everyone wanted to have a go at it. May have to make some rules about the game to make it more balanced…But all in all, it was fun to play.

In the evening, I had a form 5 school reunion at Sunway Pyramid…Me old pal from England picked me up…I didn’t want to go at first, but after much persuasion from me pal…I tagged along. It wasn’t that big and not many came to the reunion…Well, at least I did enjoy the food~ ngehhehehe

English Cuppacake Poker

(Saturday)
~*21/06/08*~

Me good old pal came back from England today…Love the bugger for his unique sense of humor & having a go at him with a friendly round of expletives! LOL...Invited him out with me girlfriend to order cuppacakes for me & me girlfriend’s 8^th anniversary on the 28^th of July. Girlfriend brought her cuzzie along, and it was a blast! Though, 2 unfortunate events did occur:

1. I thought me pal got back yesterday, but in fact he got back today! So he was very tired due to the jet lag…Had to send him back home after the cuppacake order. Did manage to catch up on old times and an exchange of a couple of friendly banter… weee!

2. We weren’t be able to get the cakes on our anniversary date, but we will be able to get it on the 26^th…close enough! We’ll make some plans on where we’re gonna go on that day…

After sending me buddy off, my urge to purchase a poker set was really REALLY unbearable…so I decided to go to KLCC to go and buy ‘em. Invited me girlfriend and her cuzzie along…Below is the pic of the poker set that I bought at The Rooms Outlet.

It’s a 500 composite chip set with no denominations. It makes it easier for me to decide the value of each colored chips sets. Each color set has 100 chips. Due note it can also be used for other games like D&D (dungeons & dragons) where it can be used as currency OR used as status tokens (red for bloodied, blue for passive benefits, etc)

Quality was not that good…considered one of the lowest qualities if I’m not mistaken…but hey, I just wanna play for fun! With the chips, it makes it look authentic! Ngehehhehe…but of course, I’m playing it for fun…no real actual money will ever be involved. I did have worried looks from me girlfriend, her cuz and from me mum afterwards…Worried that I might get addicted and start to really play for money. A valid concern, but I believe I’m strong enough to fight off THAT urge…Guess no one can actually understand the feelings of a guy who loves to play games for the sake of having fun.

Here’s my reasons of buying it:

1. a simple game with an easy setup. You only need the poker set & nothing else. No need to buy any more expansion sets or different versions of the game (I’m sick and tired of keeping up to date for me PC’s or me D&D miniature sets where you need to keep putting money into it to keep the darn thing up to date)

2. Great replayability value

3. No technology or upgrades needed

4. Can be used for me D&D purposes

Shantel...

(Friday)
~*20/06/08*~

I was having a bad day for some reason...can't remember why...that night after work I had to wait somewhere in Kelana Jaya for awhile because my sis got her tuition somewhere there & I'm supposed to pick her up afterwards...so I went to a nearby cyber cafe and played poker on facebook...killing time...met this girl, her name was Shantel...she was the happy-go-lucky type, funny & friendly...had a good laugh and she managed to somehow forget all my worries away! Thanx Shantel :P

Sometimes I think we just need a good laugh to forget our worries...your head becomes clear, things will start to make sense, then you can figure out how to deal with the problems.

The Future...

(Monday)
~*17/06/08*~

Had a lovely chat with the girlfriend about the future and marriage thingy again...really have no idea how to plan that far ahead...I even asked me mum about it...am thinking to early or something like dat? Ah well~ Just one of those serious talk thingy...no biggie

Car pool

(Saturday)
~*15/06/08*~

Me and me KDU friends meet up & had small talk. Afterwards we went to One Utama in one car with everyone agreeing to pay the driver some money for the person's fuel...cool & very thoughtful...

Can't remember much that day...ooh! I scouted the shops for the poker set!...but it was out of stock! Damn! I knew I should've bought it fast! Got contact numbers for their other branches...will call them to ask if they have in stock.

Cool company...

(Friday)
~*13/06/08*~

Had an internal gathering for the company...Very interesting...There was also an announcement that staff, including new staff members (a.k.a me), could claim fuel from the company in order to help us out. Wow...the monthly claim thingy would help me reduce about 20% of my expenses on fuel...Cool~

The Incredible Hulk, The Good Samaritan

(Thursday)
~*12/06/08*~

Was going to watch the premier of incredible hulk that night. When I got back home, I made a visit to me nearest 7-Eleven store to buy a pack of cigarettes...As I walk, I stumbled upon a wallet...lying there on the street...I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it...no one...people around me was completely oblivious to my findings...and I haven't picked it up yet! I picked it up and check the contents, I was thinking probably someone threw it away or something...A lot of junk, no money...but then I found an ID card...so okay...the guy must've dropped it then...went to the nearest police station and dropped it there...

It was an odd moment for me...Never done something like that...and I thought I'd be one of those who won't bother to hand things people dropped or something to the cops...Guess I was wrong about myself...Oh well~ Onwards to the movies!

Have you played the PS2 Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game? If you did, you'd probably notice some moves in the movie follows the game...and those moves were really cool...hehe

The story was much better than the previous Hulk movie...The hulk himself is impressive...rugged looking hard-ass mo-fo...hehe...The battles themselves are TITANIC at best...ngeheheheh...love the movie :D

Oh, you guys should really watch Ironman first before you watch this...You'll understand once you see the ending of the movie...*wink* *wink*

The Awesomeness of Kungfu Panda!

(Sunday)
~*08/06/08*~

The movie was really nice to watch with the family...a family movie of sorts, hilarious...I was really surprised that Angelina Jolie was in there though...Not memorable, but just fun to watch.

(Tuesday)
~*10/06/08*~

Realized again of my temper...damn, is something wrong with me or do I just need a nice long vacation???

A favor for a favor

(Saturday)
~*07/06/08*~

I was supposed to play badminton but had to go to Sunway Pyramid. Me girl asked for a favor...she never once asked me to cancel any of my events before...since it was a favor, I told me friends I won't be coming...She wanted to payback a favor to her cuz who helped her once...So it was fine with me...Unfortunately for that day...there was this event on that day in Sunway...can't remember what's it called...But it was really pack on that day...

But overall it was fun...except for the huge amount of young “hip”(or whatever kids call this days...) kids wearing too many colorful or stylish beach wear I've ever seen in my life...LOL ← I felt really old that day...LMAO

Handphone Fair

(Thursday)
~*05/06/08*~

Me & me gurl went to this handphone fair...I thought there would be nice cheap discounted phones or something...there were...but not that many...Oh well~

Ok...can't remember that well what happen that day...ngehhehe...

Fuel Price Hike...

(Wednesday)
~*04/06/08*~

Fuel price went up that day...I jokingly told me mum I wanted to use the bicycle to work...Got a very nice reply from me mum:

“Don't need to ride a bicycle to work. Safety is more important than oil price. You'll just marry late...”
LOL...

That night I thought of going home late for I was sure as hell that people would go to the petrol station to fill up before the price hike by midnight...Damn was I wrong...It was raining and surprisingly the traffic was still very bad...Almost all petrol station in Malaysia was full of cars queuing to fill up...Stuck for a good couple of hours too...and it usually takes about half an hour to get home...bummer...

I'm The Nice Guy You Don't Want To Mess With...

(Monday)
~*02/06/08*~

That nite I had quite a temper...We were supposed to go out to Damansara...some friends invited me & told me to get ready...so I did...for TWO freaking hours!
I'm mad for a reason...when I invite anyone for anything~ ONE! I would notify them... TWO! Any changes, I would notify them immediately! THREE! Excuses saying that you're busy or distracted is just an excuse! What? You think I didn't have any stuff to do??? RESPECT EVERYONE'S TIME!uugghh~ No credit? Another excuse! If you invite, it IS YOUR responsibility! Shall we look at my point of view?

You love to hang out with your friends and you'd like to have a lot of group activities...so what do you do? You organize some activities: going cybercafes, badminton, movies, etc...and you've always organize it yourself since NONE of them are willing to help & they keep giving you excuses...(“For example: Oh I'm busy, could ask to do it?”) Oh right~! Like I'm not busy as well? So like what the hell right? I still go on, because I love to have group activities with my friends right? It's stressful like hell; one wants to play this, another wants to play that, some wanted at this time, some wanted that time...I had to go through all that so EVERYONE can enjoy...It usually feels great when it goes off successfully...

But when it comes to my turn? When it's my turn to just sit at home & wait for SOMEONE else to call/sms to tell me there's any activities??? This is what I get??? Don't you feel REALLY fucking unappreciated???

Took me a long LONG while to compose myself as to NOT to blow up in front of the guy's(who invited me that night) face! I reasoned in my mind; he's still young, it's his college life, I was like that too, I need to give them a chance...all this excuses in my head, just to cool me down...when we got there, I ask what happened & WHY did it took so long...its a long story, but the general thing is he STILL gives EXCUSES! He may got distracted, but THAT was no EXCUSE man! THANKFULLY, ONE OTHER friend DID APOLOGIZED, but HE did NOT! STILL GIVING EXCUSES! You know who you are...But I don't like mentioning names in blogs for security reasons. You really got to learn to admit your mistakes dude...

*sigh* one reason why I stopped organizing...someone got an idea to do something, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! DO NOT EVER DELEGATE TO ME AGAIN! Really ticked off about it...If you asked for my help, okay...fine...no problem...but when you suddenly delegate the whole crap on to me while you do nothing?

So dude, take responsibility for your actions & FACE the consequences whether its good or bad! Admit if you made a mistake, it's hard...I know...But it really helps to improve ones self. I've given a lot of second chances to your older brother & shrugged away all that shit he did to me (which he also rarely apologized too) . I realized it was mistake, I shouldn't be easy to a friend, I should be hard to those who I care. I now realized I would rather scold you for your mistakes so you can improve, rather than shutting up and let you worsen. My mistake. I got that when a KDU friend did it to me. I made a huge error, worse than my friend did to me on that nite...He was pissed off and really had a go with me...from that day on, I improved. My KDU friend actually complemented me one day & said I improved...I was fucking proud that I managed to improve myself NOT for his sake, but for mine...As he scolded me not for his sake, but improve me for MY sake. NOW THAT'S what friends are for!

So dude, strike ONE. Next time, I won't be so kind. For your sake. Not mine.

It takes a lot of guts to admit ones mistake dude...and it takes a little to lose a friend's trust.

Oh, this was also the first time I realized I was getting temperamental.

Oh yeah...I'm the guy who keeps a grudge until the person admits his/her mistake, honestly apologize, and improve him/her-self so as not to make it happen again. That person will not only gain my forgiveness & trust but as well my utmost respect.

For those who thinks an apology & forgiveness is not important, even among friends...think again...
No human being is perfect, that includes myself...One reason why words for apology & forgiveness exist.
