Last thing you'll ever read…again

Stupid shit people post on facebook
Aug 18th
I complain because I can.
Okay.
So I was on facebook (naturally) and came across this shit on my front page.
If U’re in a relationship, married or none, read this. U’ll know why at the end.
Some random chick posted it and a friend commented on it. I unfortunately did not know the person that posted the link hence didn’t have the ability to smack the shit out the person.
First thing is first. If you want to make a meaningful post (and do it Facebook especially) PLEASE for the love of God, use proper English. I find it hilarious that the person decided to type “u’re” instead of “ur” when they’re already brutalising the fucking language.
Anywho.
So it piqued my curiosity.
I read it.
At the end I’m like thinking “wow, that’s pretty sad if it were true…” and then I’m like thinking “well…what the fuck am I meant to know after reading this?”.
Nothing “clicked”.
For the sake of argument I’m going to ignore the “A CHRIST-CENTERED MARRIAGE IS A MARRIAGE THAT IS SURE TO LAST A LIFETIME.” since the story ended well before that statement.
Are we meant to feel sorry for the husband? Or feel sorry for the wife?
Nonetheless, you don’t “teach” these things to stupid people our age.
Mainly due to the fact that we’re still living in a bubble of sorts, still trying to figure out shit and a 5 minute read of a stupid facebook note isn’t going to change the way you perceive love and relationships.
I hate how people flaunt their abilities to read/analyse things on facebook. You have the stupid people agreeing and the smart people just sitting back shaking their head (well, at least I am…not sure about the rest of you…) so essentially their ego is growing with every analytical post of their “awesome” read.
You don’t truly understand someone till you fight them.
You don’t truly understand something till it breaks you.
When you’re broken you don’t find it necessary to bother explaining shit to people. You just don’t go up in people’s faces and tell them how wrong they are. But maybe again I’m just being naive and hypocritical. I don’t do everything I say and I definitely don’t say everything I do if that makes any sense.
Fuck you facebook.
Triple rant
Aug 2nd
Look, if you’re gonna post up “deep and meaningful” shit on facebook at least do it properly and not use “u” or “ur” or anything else. Then you have two types of people commenting.
1) The type that just agrees with you
2) The type that tries to sound deep and meaningful by taking a spin on what you just said
There’s also the type that try and generate lulz but that happens everywhere.
But honestly, I’m so sick of seeing these dnm style facebook status updates from people. Fuck.
Facebook is such a letdown at times.
You meet someone that you thought looked really nice, you go on facebook to “stalk” them, and realise that they look quite “meh”. Then there’s the antithesis which is you see their profile pics which looks quite good and end up meeting them in real life to realise that they’re quite “meh”.
It’s hard finding someone that looks good on and off facebook. I find it hilarious how facebook has taken over everybody’s lives and is more or less essential to surviving socially.
My final rant is on introductions.
Today I was with a friend and met this guy that I knew. I would have introduced them BUT…I had forgotten the guy’s name. That is more or less the only time when the lack of introduction is acceptable. Every other time it’s just rude. I hate it when I’m in a situation where I have to just stand there twiddling my thumb waiting to be introduced. Pisses me off so much. It gets worse, when the two people are talking and every now and then the other person glances at you.
Fail.
I guess that’s it.
Fine

Freaked Out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional
It’s so fucking easy being a douchebag.
How easy?
Very easy.
Being in that building brings back memories. Sigh. Just thinking about it makes me angry.
I don’t remember much from that night. The latter…not the former. Former night is a different story, a different lifetime ago. Gosh that sounds emo.
I don’t remember a lot of things.
Apparently I took a lot of photos. I did.
I took around 330 photos. I only remember taking 100 of them, I know cause I remember thinking “wow, I’ve taken 100 photos already”.
The rest…was just a blur. Most of the photos came out blurry. Either that or one of the girls had their eyes closed or what not. The type of shit photos that girls tend to complain about. I guess it’s good that I snapped 3-4 shots of the same scene to prevent this shit from happening.
Sure sure, we’re at a party, who wants their photos taken right? I mean, it’s not like anybody was drinking heavily and nobody was doing anything inappropriate.
Why do I get the feeling that this blog will bite me in the ass like it did 5 years ago?
Right now I don’t really care. I’ll be a douche.
So in the end I had around 74 decentish photos out of the 330. Having said that, most of them were still quite meh.
Whatever, I’ll just stop shoving my camera into people’s faces I guess.

I’ve thought about it hence it’s not going to happen…
You’ve got to be astronomically…
Picture’s Worth…
Jul 22nd
I got my first camera when I was in Year 5 or 6. It was still the traditional type where you have to put in film. But it was cool. I didn’t use it a lot though.
Then I always wanted my own digital camera…so months ago I saw a deal and decided to buy it. But…taking photos was a pain to be honest. Without the flash, photos turn out dark and blurry, with the flash all the photos are washed out.
I’ve seen many people with DSLR and I thought to myself “Hmm, maybe I should take up photography as a hobby”.
It’s an expensive hobby though.
So far taking photos has been extremely fun! I’ve taken well over 2000 photos since I’ve bought it. In terms of quality though…most of them end up in the trash.
I love it.
I posted up an album up couple of minutes ago. I would have done it way sooner but something had upset me.
Oh God, that sounded pretty homo.
Anyway, I’ve learnt that unless you’re actually good at taking photos of people, don’t take pictures of them. So I think I’m going to stick to scenery for a while unless it’s people I know. So at the event that I posted up on FB, some chick chucked a spaz at me for taking too many photos. I think it was the post-alcohol stage…where you know…I was feeling all emo so the spaz really hit the spot.
I guess it’s good that I don’t have an angry post-drunkeness outburst, otherwise bitch woulda got smashed.
Half the people knew me, half the people don’t. The people that don’t…well…I don’t care too much for since…well…they don’t know me.
I guess that’s another point to note. Don’t take photos of strangers. They don’t like it. Duh.
That was also the night where I had my little fuck up. Epic fail.
I like my photos…well…the ones that end up looking good.
You only really need that one decent photo to look back to…
…
and smile.
Another cinema rant
Jul 10th
Okay okay. I know, I already wrote a mini rant. Actually the last blog would probably have better suited to a FB update or twitter update. But pffish, you guys enjoy reading my blogs so much more than my status updates right?
Anyway, I should have mentioned this in the previous post but it didn’t occur to me.
Anywho, I had bought my movie tickets online. Yup who cares about the $1 booking fee. Sigh. They should totally make it free to book things online. Anyway, we got there at like 3:10pm, 5 minutes before the movie was gonna start. Lined up on the “Red carpet” but as usual, you get ignored for 1 or 2 customers before they notice the “VIP customer”. When I got to the counter, I just handed them my iphone which had the tag, the woman tried to scan my iphone with the barcode scanner. I’m not too sure on the science of the barcode scanner but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work on lcd screens. I might be wrong though. Anyway, my iphone had the orientation lock switched on meaning you can’t turn it sideways for it to switch (I tend to read my emails in my bed lying down). Anyway, she hands it back to me after failing to scan the screen and asks me to make it horizontal. I tell her to just type in the code herself. She obliged. I mean come on, you would rather go into the effort of handing the iphone back, wait for me to make it “horizontal” and then for you to waste another 10 seconds trying to scan the damn thing when you have the keyboard right infront of you and can actually just type in the 10 or so characters? Anyway, this didn’t tick me off, lazy people are lazy.
So I got into the cinema and the ads are playing and everything is dark. Toby was the seating person! I didn’t even recognise him since it was so dark but he was like “Hey John!” and I was a bit too shocked to reply but it clicked. Anywho, I got to my seat and yup, some dude and his kid were in our seats.
“Err, excuse me, I think you’re in our seats”
“No we’re not”
“I think you are…this is L7 and L8″
“This is K”
“No…K is infront of you”
“Wait…yeah…we’re in L”
“Okay…but we’re in those seats”
This is where Toby and this other seat checking dude came to assist in this god complicated mess.
“Can I see your ticket?”
“We bought these online”
(Who the fuck cares if you bought them online…I bought my tickets online. Since you bought them online you should know exactly where you’re sitting)
“Yes but can we just see your ticket just to make sure there hasn’t been any mistakes”
“Are you calling me a liar?”
(No you dumb fuck. We just want to check your fucking ticket since my tickets clearly says L7 and L8.)
“No, but we just need to make sure there’s no mistake”
The guy grudgingly takes out his ticket and surprise fucking surprise L9 and L10. The guy then acts all confused as if he doesn’t have a place to sit.
“It’s no big deal, just move down a seat”
“Oh…sorry.”
Stupid idiot is stupid and an idiot.
Did I mention that they were asking questions during the film as well? Not to mention laughing at inappropriate times. It’s the fucking Chinese culture you ignorant fools. Talk about ruining the moment. Sigh. Okay. Rant over.
Karate Blog
Jul 10th
So I went and watched the Karate Kid with my kid brother today.
Firstly, what’s up with all the hating on facebook? I don’t understand. People even suggested that Twilight was better. How outrageous!
I thought the movie was great but there’s some items I want to rant about.
Maybe I’m more out of the loop with China than I first thought but…is there suppose to be that many blonde haired kids in the schools? In every shot of the school you always have some western kid walking though the shot in the background. What the fuck is up with that?
Actually I think that’s it. There’s some smaller issues but that’s somewhat expected out of these kinda movies.
One thing I want to point out is…yes…every Chinese person knows Kung Fu…except for me. FML.
That is all.
Oh and I also watched Fight Club yesterday. Great movie.
No more
Jul 5th
Was driving home last night. This car was on a left only lane and I was on the lane right beside him most likely in his blind spot. (btw, when I say him…I mean him or her…) anyway, he wasn’t signalling and I thought “I hope he’s not an idiot…” And guess what? The fucker was an idiot. All of a sudden his lane ends and he’s about to crash into me. If I wasn’t paying attention it would been a 3 car pile up since the car behind me wasn’t too far before me. This was one of those few instances where I’ve used the horn. Horn count = 2. I never use the horn unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Sigh.
Was at the powerhouse museum yesterday and this kid had his leg caught in one of the swings and is more or less yelling in pain. What do you do? I was like 1m away, who the fuck knows where the parent was. In the end I decided to just leave that shit alone and mind my own business. Seriously, this is what the fucking world has come to, where you’re scared to help in case you get blamed for the situation and land in court for being a child molester. I was also snapping pictures of my brother and was somewhat waiting for some pompous parent to walk up to tell me off for taking pictures of little kids.
Sigh.
In a way we all have ownership issues.
Whatever.
People and trains
May 28th
God I was meant to write this post up ages ago but I always forget.
Some people just frustrates me to no end.
These are the annoying people you see whilst catching trains.
- People that stand in front of the doors rather than being on the side when trying to board the train
Wanna let people get off first before trying to get your butt on the train? It’s worse when I’m trying to get off and there’s this mofo standing in my way. These days when I get off and if I see a mofo in my way I stand in front of them until they move out of my motherfucking way. Let the passengers get off the motherfucking train before trying to get on it douchebag! - The type of people that upon boarding the train immediately stands on the side of the door
When you have to stand on the train there’s usually 4 optimal locations to stand and they are the ones by the door. They’re usually the first to be taken when people are forced to stand due to lack of seats. I do it, you do it, we all do it. But what pisses me off is during on peak, the person at the front decides it’s smart to stand on the side immediately. Why does this cause a problem? Well, on some trains the pole believe it or not is not in the fucking center of the door! Outrageous right? So when they stand on the side, you have to squeeze your way in whilst people on the other side of the door are briskly walking through. - The type that ruin the seating structure of the train simply because they’re too lazy to change their seat direction
On those old trains and millenium trains you can change the direction the seat faces right? Well, there are some people who are just too fucking lazy to change the seat to face the wrong direction. How is this a problem? Well, you get a situation where you have two sets of chairs facing each other. It’s uncomfortable enough having to sit next to a stranger but having to sit opposite someone as well and get your leg room chopped off by like 99%? Assholes. - The desperate lonely men
I don’t really find these guys annoying since they don’t sit next to me, I just feel bad for the girl that is forced to sit next to them. I’ve seen situations where there are plenty of seats everywhere and some guy just decides to sit next to that one girl. - The I’m-too-lazy-to-get-up-so-you-can-get-out person
Whenever, I’m sitting on the aisle seat and someone on the inside needs to get out, I stand up move out of the way and let them out. But there’s plenty of assholes that don’t! It amazes me! Cause then I’ll have to be careful not to stand on their fucking toes and also have to be careful not to slam my fucking bag into their face. Get the fuck up and let me out. - The I-don’t-care-if-im-in-your-way person
On packed trains and you need to get out there’s also going to be that one idiot that will rather stay in their position than move so the 10 or so people behind them can get out. I don’t want to lap around the carriage just to get out, get off the train so I can get out and then you can get back on! The train aint gonna leave as soon as you step out. - School kids
Okay, we’ve all done it, left our school bags on the ground and passengers had to skip over them. But come on kids, pick up your fucking bags! - Asian chicks
When I see a white girl with nice hair usually it’s accompanied by a nice face. But nope, not the case with asian girls. There are asian girls that can have perfect hair, perfect legs and a nice butt to boot and as soon as you walk past them and take a peep behind your shoulder your heart just sinks. So how does this work in relation to trains? Well, you sit behind some chick and you know, she looks quite nice from behind, you then spend the rest of the trip pondering on what she would look up fron the front, she or you finally get up to go and take a quick look and bam! Imagination is out the window. What’s worse is if they’re some 40 year old. *shudder* I have to say a lot of asians look better from behind. Oh snap.
I think that’ll be all for the moment. I’ve probably missed some…meh, if you have any more leave a comment and make me happy =D
Off topic: Girls, if you’re going to put on a skirt that is teeney weenie too short, don’t bother trying to pull it down in an attempt to save your dignity, you lost it as soon as you decided to step out of the house.
It’s just the way I are!
May 19th
So this morning I hopped on a train to work and began going through facebook on the iphone. I should probably stop doing this as it’s killing my data usage and I’m not even stalking remotely attractive looking girls!
Anyway, facebook brings a face to what would be trolls on internet forums. I read one post that aggravated me. It’s one of those “Look at me I’m posting something that most people would have seen anyway AND I’ll add my own obnoxious opinion about it!” Then of course you’d have the minions that follow that go “oh yes, this is so true”. Fuckers.
Basically, the feed was regarding Portugal and same-sex marriage. That’s fine. We’re in the 21st century, if a man could be forced to marry a goat, I don’t see why a man can’t marry another man or woman with another woman. Fair’s fair. I do, however, have a issue with the statement that came after “…congratulations to another country far more civilised than our own.”
Excuse me?
Whether or not same-sex marriage is allowed does not determine if a country is “civilised”. It just shows that the Portuguese government has an open mind to these kind of things. Australia is great, maybe the technology isn’t up to date with the rest of the developed nations, maybe the transport system is a bit poor, maybe we have a government that promotes internet censorship, maybe we do have egg laying, duck like mammals with poisonous spurs, but honestly, every country has their problems and I think we can tolerate our problems. In fact, isn’t that why most Australian’s are immigrants in the first place, sick of the problems in their home country to come to a country with lesser problems? Hmmm.
Though I do not understand why there are so many rallies for same-sex marriages in Australia. Sure. Gays want equality. I understand that. I want them to have their equality. But maybe wait a generation? Think about the people in power right now. What era were they from? Thought about it? Do I really need to explain why they will never give in to your demands/requests? These are the same people trying to censor our PORN. Personally I think that the next generation of government will be absolutely revolutionary. Having said that…the generation after will be epic fail. The prime minister will most likely be some epic troll, trolling the entire country by adding rick rolls to his/her speech. I’m lolling just thinking about it. I can’t wait to troll my kids.
Any who, I think I’m done in terms of ranting. You can probably stop reading here as I’ll be talking about something else now.
I thought that my day would be slow, boring and tedious. But it wasn’t. Manager was away so I got to sit in the same row of desks as my team. Worked on a relatively simple problem that took the entire day to implement.
Basically I had to implement a form for uploading multiple files. Simple right?
Well…yeah…it is pretty simple but I wanted to do it elegantly and either there’s a gotcha that I didn’t know about or it’s just Spring being a whiney little bitch that it is. Basically I have 5 input fields and I wanted it to bind to a File array, except, it would only bind the first input field. Googled a lot, didn’t turn up with anything. So in the end I gave up and did it in a not so nice manner.
File file0, file2, file3, file4;
File getFile0()…
void setFile0()…
You get the gist of it.
In addition to that…because it didn’t bind properly I couldn’t use an index to look up the corresponding “description” that correlates to the file being uploaded.
So I had to do something like
if i == 0 getFile0()…
Yuck.
My manager arrived as I was about to leave so I showed it to him…the form that is…not the code and he was like “Perfect, that’s exactly what we want”. Well, just shows, as long as the end result satisfies the client’s requirements nothing else really matters.
So the day ended on a positive note.
Any who it’s taking me forever to write this blog >.>
Comment so I feel loved!
