Shallow Genius... Deep Idiot

Going Tough

2009-10-25T00:26:00.003+11:00

I didn't know that it's gonna be THIS tough. Hmmph.

Persevere on.

My family and relatives back home are supportive.

I thank god that he sent me CCYL :). She's the rock of my heart.

Besides "working" (for a living that is), I've also been "working" (out) at the gym during the weekends with my girlfriend!

Bought myself a swimming shorts, gonna start swimming again after an 8 year lapse.

I still wish to start playing badminton again though. I'm working on my fitness and I need KAKI!!! The closest kaki I can find is in Melbourne (Felix). Oh well, I'll find some new ones here then.

I quote Billy Ocean's "When the GOING gets TOUGH, the TOUGH gets GOING!"

Click on this link and then on "About Us" then "Contacts"

Voila! I see a familiar name!!

The last time I viewed this website (before she got into the firm) her name was not there and now it is. I'm proud of her and I'm happy for her :) All those email sending were not done in vain eh *pat my own back* Hehe...

One must be happy to see one's name in his/her company's website, especially if you're a professional like an architect, engineer, surgeon and etc . It's like a start of a new "journey" or "stage".

I'm currently still waiting to TASTE this start.

Things are getting pretty DISAPPOINTING lately. No *expletives* replies, no offers, nothing sial!

I heard of a few people (via Facebook or hearsay) that they're unhappy with their current job la, complaining laa, work is boring, tiring and stressful.

Well, Yowie says, Be grateful that you are earning. You are already at level/stage one. You have STARTED. You're financially independent. One rung above people like me in life already :)

Be grateful

I cannot tahan this lady. She talks to the poor Customer Service guy like an uneducated person. She claims she is the educated one and she's the one acting like an uneducated biatch, cursing and kutuk people's English, education level and even his position as a staff.

*typing with my MINIMAL PR skills*

To the lady: You just told the world your MALAYSIAN IC NUMBER, which is 860818 - 56 - 5236. From your IC number, MS KANANGABIGAI, the average Malaysian will know that you are a FEMALE (duh...), your birth date is 18 August 1986 and you probably live in Kuala Lumpur. I'm guessing KL because 56 is the code for KL. You're young (a year younger than me), you're from my generation and as far as I'm concerned my generation of Malaysians are EDUCATED. Are you a racists, Ms Kanangabigai? I heard CLEARLY the sentence "You bloody Indian..." at 2:10. Are you shouting racist slurs at your OWN race, Miss? Even your "Ama" is more educated than you! Oh yea, Ms Kanangabigai, I also heard that you shouted to your Ama something along this line: "Ama, please close the door and go! I'm telling you just now. You don't get on my nerves, Ama! Go!..." at 13.24. If I'm wrong, I APOLOGISE first, Miss. Just in case if you wanna talk to my supervisor, you wanna come to my company with the press.

It's just your BLOODY Astro Tv decoder. Hello, Akak, it's just ASTRO. No tv to watch, watch free tv laa... He may have used the wrong words and he may have also lost a little patience there. But bare in mind that you PUSHED HIM TO THE WALL and DROVE HIM UP. He's already helping and assisting you. There's no need to be so abusive. Plus he has already apologised.

Jeevanathan, if you're reading this, DOUBLE THUMBS UP and RESPECT. There is nothing wrong with speaking with a Malaysian Indian accent and I wouldn't even say that your English is REALLY BAD. I commend your EXTRAORDINARY patience. Brother, your eardrums solid laa. Keep up the good work.

Miss Kanangabigai, let me tell you what YOUR PROBLEM is NOW:

You have just made a fool of yourself on the internet, Ms. 860818 - 56 - 5236!!! I hope everyone listens to it and see how uneducated you are.

I apologise for not getting back to all the birthday and well wishes... I promise I will.

Currently, I'm freaking busy, (yes I'm freaking unemployed and I'm BUSY -_-) running errands here and there. I just got back from Canberra yesterday. I was in Canberra for 24 hrs...

Ok, back to my work. When I'm done, I'll spill here :D.... Take care everyone!

2009-05-07T10:10:00.002+10:00

Yow is studying... dug out my old notes *coughs*

2009-05-07T07:57:00.008+10:00

An important meeting with three people who will make the call: EMPLOYED or UNEMPLOYED. Hopefully my big day tomorrow will smile and shine upon me :) If it doesn't then it's not my luck, sigh, will struggle to make ends meet. May try to make the ends closer by looking for employment in foreign fields such as hospitality or food and beverage *wth sial*. Anyhoo, life goes on. As the Cantonese saying goes: "MAA SEI LOK TEI HAANG". Translation: "When a horse dies, the horseman will get down and walk on foot" :) No need to die... It's just a matter of time for one to reach a certain place or goal but the road taken is not straight but windy and windy (nope this is NOT a repetition of words, they have the same spelling but different meaning) .

I've been thinking... I don't normally but awkwardly I have this "question" at the back of my head. Even when I was writing my thesis, I was told that the "decoration" as in the formatting and cover of the thesis is important. Yes, I'm worried. The cover of my biography is failing me and it's giving me an unfair disadvantage. But I can't "design" my own cover, it's already determined that I'm so and it's out of my control. What I can design is the contents of my biography. No biography is perfect but I dare say that mine is above average and it's proven. Most of what that's been written is written with love, warmth, happiness and confidence that I CAN write the next page as the days pass. Well, life is not a bed of roses, there are some rotten and torn pages. I know I've not written many pages and I'm slow but that doesn't mean it's a boring and fugly biography. So far the younger generations or generations similar to mine are fine with my cover but that's because they've read my biography. However, the senior generation are still deceive with what they see. They wouldn't buy my biography for their children to read. BUT I understand why, I really do. Every parent wants their children to read a GOOD BOOK. Well... I will never give up writing. My cover may not be the best in the world but my pages are good :) I hope my senior readers will soon realised that the cover can be deceiving but please do flip through the pages of my biography then rate it.

MY BIOGRAPHY IS A GOOD BOOK!

Man United Vs Barcelona, 27 May 2009, Rome. Needless to say because at the end of the game all people will sing is PRAISES of Man United!!! I WILL stay up to watch us lift the trophy again!

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!! *woo hooooooo!*

Miracle of green tea

2009-03-26T13:11:00.005+11:00

Speaking of the devil! The Star had an articles on green tea! :) I like what I read.

Miracle of green tea

"Practitioners of traditional Chinese and Indian medicine use green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, astringent and to improve heart health. Other traditional uses of green tea include treating flatulence, regulating body temperature and blood sugar, promoting digestion and improving mental processes"

Promotes DIGESTION, no wonder always POO ler... :P
*Ahem* Can treat CHOT CHOT wor...

"Research also indicates that green tea may benefit arthritis sufferers by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown. In addition, chemicals found in green tea may be effective in treating genital warts and preventing symptoms of colds and influenza"

YAY!!!

"Weight loss- Clinical studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat"

No wonder so thin laa....

Ok, drink up everyone, drink more green tea for more health benefits!!!!

"Mamak, kasi satu Teh Hijau Ais!!"

It's still the 26th of March 2009...

26th of March 2009

2009-03-26T10:31:00.008+11:00

The day started off gloomy, cloudy, windy and cold... Ah......

I feel the FREAKING stress today!!!

Honestly, I'm tired wuy... I feel darn tired today...

Physically and mentally tired.

Nonetheless, I'm still DETERMINED and BERSEMANGAT! JIA YOU!!!

What am I to do to get rid of this feeling?

Archi'tea' girl: Boil water...

Biomed boy: *goes to the kitchen, boil water, take out a teapot, put tea leaves inside, brew em with the boiling water and serve*

In our dictionary, "Boil water" is a code for "PLEASE MAKE TEA FOR ME" :p

I've always loved tea but it's those MAMAK teh tarik ais, teh limau ais or teh ais. Those are sweeeeeeeeeet! But now I drink PURE TEA, just tea. Picked this liking four (very close to five months already :D) months ago.

This has become a ROUTINE since. Whenever I feel tired, I whip out a bag of Green Tea (I've still got like 40+ or 30+ bags of em, darling), BOIL WATER, brew and sip em.

As I'm typing, my fav cup with green tea is left on the window pane. Alaa... It's nothing laa, I put it by the window cos I want the darn Tasmanian wind to cool it... (shhhhhh... don't let my Archi'tea' girl know that I drink COLD tea, she forbids me from drinking cold tea, hehe). I'm listening to Jay Chou's songs that my darling sent to me 2 nights ago. I like them! As usual, I would like to TRY to SING it and I would like to know the meaning of the song so I googled for the pin yin and English translation.

FOUND IT! As usual... :)

给我一首歌的时间 (Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian/ Give Me Time to Sing This Song)
Vid Clip & Pin Yin + English Translation (Bananas click here)

and

说好的幸福呢 (Shuo hao de xing fu ne/What about the happiness we promised each other?)
Vid Clip & Pin Yin + English Translation (Bananas click here again)

Waa... emo wuy. But I like the music, beat and the way he sings it ler. Like I've said previously, I fight emo with emo songs! Haha! I feel better after listening or trying to sing it in my mediocre Mandarin.

It feels so good to hear her voice first thing every morning. She adds colours to my day! :)

Today is the 26th of March 2009...

(24!!)

2009-03-24T18:27:00.003+11:00

What a gloomy and cloudy day.... I "accidentally" napped from 3pm to 6pm. Instead of feeling good, I woke up feeling guilty!!

Me? (24!)

2009-03-24T11:41:00.006+11:00

I saw this test on a blog and I tried it out of curiosity: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

I must say that the results stunned me. I'm not gonna approve or disapprove it. You tell me...

Well, I take it with a pinch of salt ler...

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

8.5!

2009-03-20T19:47:00.004+11:00

8.5!!

I'm glad I didn't waste mom and dad's money... Phew... Both of them and my girlfriend are happy :D

I always knew that writing is my weakness. Speaking surprised me wuy! There other two components were ok, in fact, I loved them... Hehe... SPM style!!!

Ok gotta go analyse some shitty dendrograms. I know of two people who did IELTS ACADEMIC and scored like got 7.5 and 8.5 respectively. In fact, can you girls please write the freaking thesis for me....

youtube funnies

2009-03-18T18:47:00.003+11:00

SONY PLAYSTATION 3 FOR THE WINNER!!! :P

2. It's obvious that I love Facebook!

Any mother will swim to save her child (click)

Even an Orang utan loves her baby that much. I was taught in school that INTELLIGENCE is what differentiates HUMAN from ANIMALS. So let's compare an "unintelligent" Orang utan to this "human"

Pig dog sial! (click)

So who is more human? I remember two or three years ago there was this debate on "what type of punishment should we impose on rapists?". This debate came about because there was one time there was a "boom" in rape cases in back home. Several groups or people (including ME) weren't happy that young rapists gets "ROTAN" and jailed for a couple of years and "ELDERLY" rapists just get jailed because they "CLAIM" to be old and frail and can't stand kena rotan. BULLSHIT I SAY! Korang tua sangat ke? Kalau tua apasal boleh rogol ah? If you (rapists) are old, how can you overpower a healthy female then? Tua konon... BODOH! SIAL! It's just a bloody LOOPHOLE in the legal system and those "human rights" shit. Do they (rapists) DESERVE any rights anyway?

I still think rapists regardless of age should be rotan till their ass tears and then jailed for like 10 years plus. Throughout their "stay" in prison, start their every new year by caning them. Remind them of their offence. Repeated offenders should be chemically castrated laa. No joke. These pig dogs would never learn.

Aww... I think I melted... :)

Jason Mraz performed in KL last week (I think)...

I think if I was back home I would've attended his concert...

Although I only know the few famous songs of his that's been playing on the radio but I reckon it's worth going wuy!!

If I'm not mistaken, I think he'll be performing in Brisbane!!! I saw a poster about it when I was there.

Hmm... I wonder if it would cost me a bomb to buy his tix? Oh well, we shall see...

Still elated over MU's win!

There are some things I don't and won't tell mom and dad because I don't want them to worry. They do not need this unnecessary stress for I should be the one taking it all in my stride.

I tell (or rather NAG them as she always says that I'm "naggy" -_-") them to my significant half, my girlfriend. She would listen intently, cucuk and threaten me sometimes :P BUT will sayang sayang me later.

I would like to thank god that I found her.

I know you'll read this...

Darling, thank you for being so understanding and supportive. It's just one of these rare and few tough and crucial moments in life that I need to get through :) I'm glad that you're always there for me when I need you.

I LOVE YOU....

P/s: Thank you for putting up with my nagginess too wor. I NAG BECAUSE I CARE... Hehe... (L)

2009-03-09T22:40:00.003+11:00

grrr...can i shout profanities out of frustration?

no, i'm not allowed to...

when the going gets TOUGH, the TOUGH gets going!

2009-03-09T12:09:00.003+11:00

Yes, YOW KONG SOON woke up today feeling bloody stressed, pressed, pressured and intense. I dread Mondays but it'll go away soon when I'm done here. To add to the insult, today is a public holiday. Yay... People are lepaking, enjoying their life while I sit here thinking, writing, drawing and stressing. This shall end soon... I promise myself justice.

This is how I beat the stress:

1. BerFACEBOOK - Browse through friend's profile. Cucuk people's picture and leave "comments".

2. Listen to songs. NOT ANY SONGS. I find myself listening and singing along to more English & Malay emo love songs when I'm stressed. Weirdly enough, emo songs make me more relaxed. Maybe it's the song's LOVE that's channeling through ler. Mr Mushy maa...

3. Eating JUNKS! Biscuits, choc coated biscuits, chips, IndoMie dan mcm-mcm sampah!

4. Blogging - To humour myself and pour everything here.

5. BerMSN - Used to be number 1 but I dread it when I'm stressed. I want to hear some human emotion talk/support not emotionless words and funny alerts. Hence, I prefer to talk on the phone or face to face. HOWEVER, I ADORE MSN when I'm unwinding and relaxing wor.... -_-"

6. Call my darling - This should be my FIRST choice. Talking and listening to the voice of the one you love BEATS all the other options above. It's the BEST!I would like to make this my first option but I don't want to. I don't want to spoil her day and even worst to give her unnecesary stress. I want her to be a happy lady everyday! I do call but I'll say: "Mmm, I'm ok" when I maybe not. I won't resort to this till like I cannot tahan. She has helped me a lot. Thank you, darling :)

The word "Soon"... It's a part of my mistaken identity: KONG SOON = COME SOON *a minah salleh friend of my darling's mistakenly thought that that was my given name*

SOON, this will all end and I'll be the HAPPIEST Yowie :) I know what I want, I've pinpoint the things I want and want to achieve on my life map. I'm looking forward to the future with great anticipation wuy! I'm raring to go out there!

*pulls self from up the clouds and back to the abyss* Ok, back to work...

Silly

2009-03-07T22:16:00.005+11:00

Silly #1: I sat for my ENGLISH test (IELTS) today. After 5.5 years and today I had to write letters & essays, attend oral sessions, do comprehension, get my grammar, tenses, pronounciation, subject-verb agreement RIGHT! Must slang a bit cos the examiners were minah sallehs. Gah! I can't bring myself to berSLANG... Not my nature. But I spoke w/o my LAHs... *wink*

Silly #2: FREAKING THESIS! I'm fed up but I promise to do my best to "FINISH" it BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, GOOD OR NO GOOD.

Silly #3:

Silly pictures above but this is NOT the main point

I'VE FALLEN SILLY FOR HER

&

I LOVE HER SILLY :)

Esther says.....

2009-02-22T13:59:00.002+11:00

I woke up at 7am this morning. I saw Esther (my darling's BEST SISTER) on MSN. I don't know why but I just had the urge to tell her:

Yowie: Esther, I feel very stressed this morning. I don't know why I wanted to tell you this. Have a nice day.

30 minutes later....

Esther: But you are KONG SOON... You're not like this *she said something along this line laa*

Yowie: I'm Yow Kong Soon, still a human and a mere mortal

Esther: Haha....

I just need support during these times la... Like I said, I'm flesh and blood not metal, screws and oil.

Hmmph, early in the morning kacau people already.

Thanks for the kind words, Esther. You're always too kind with works. Hehe... Too bad she doesn't read this blog... :P

P/s: Did I mention that she's cun, intelligent and available? So, to my bros, take out a pen, fill in a form and QUEUE UP!! Lalala...
