each one of us has expressions that we honestly hate, or get annoyed at. you know, those that when you hear it, you just need to stop everything you're doing and use your whole body to hate the speaker. you just instantly become a hate machine when you hear those words or phrases. in this post, i'll state some of expressions that i find to be poorly thought out and makes no sense at all, whenever they're used at the inappropriate time.
Non-conformist
there are a few popular of minorities that absolutely looove to use this specifically goths and hippies (it doesn't apply to the emo group now since almost every fucking teenager calls themselves emo thanks to my chemical romance and the likes of it). most of the time, they just want to think of themselves as cool pricks who don't conform to any social norms. but one thing these asshats don't realize is that even by not conforming to social norms, they are STILL conforming to whatever fucking trend that they're following now. unless you're the only one practicing whatever shit that it is you're practicing, you're an asshole in my book.
GG
now this is a popular one amongst gamers and internet geeks who leet speak. i have to get one thing out of the way first though, i have no beef with leet speak. but for fuck's sake, don't fucking bring leet speak to real life conversation cause most of the time it won't make any fucking sense. GG is an acronym for Good Game. unfortunately, its meaning have been distorted explicitly over the course of time. even in most games i don't say GG much because if i don't massacre my opponents, it's not a good game for me. here's a example on how the term/acronym GG is verbally abused in real life:-
A: hey have you studied for the exam tomorrow?
B: no ah, oh fuck what am i gonna do. this time i GG lo
A: (wtf you're good gamed?) ah.. okok.
conclusion: life is not a fucking game, go study or something.
Some things in life can't be bought.
Well fuck you, everyfuckingthing in life can be bought be it happiness, love, social life whatever there is. i'm sick of people, ESPECIALLY RICH ONES telling me, "oh sometimes i wish to rid myself of this wealth i have so that i don't have to face these (usually emotional) problems. you have emotional problems? take all your damn money and go see the psychiatrist or better yet, spend your money on "retail-therapy".
the only people who say money isn't everything is the people who have them. why? rich people don't think about what they'll do if they're poor, they don't cry at night worrying about how it'll feel like sleeping under the bridge or taking the bus, do they?. unlike us, we have our rich life all planned out. we already know what to buy and where to go when we're rich. we KNOW how it feels like to be poor. bottom of the line is, if you're rich.. it's fine. but if you go and say, "some of the things in life can't be bought" and acting like a pussy in front of me, fuck you.
In your own words
this is stupid. happens a lot in the classroom when the lecturer is questioning people. well, i don't really get this one. how am i supposed to use my own word when the words i'm using are basically the words everyone is using? am i not supposed to use the word you use? or am i supposed to come out with my own language in under 5 seconds? be as unintelligible as i can while getting to the point?
In my humble opinion
this one isn't that bad but it is often used inadequately by people who think too highly of themselves. no opinion is humble when you're trying to force your thought into somebody else's brain.
Let's just agree to disagree/ That is your opinion
to a certain extent, i don't find this one offensive too. but people cross the line when they use it just to save themselves from the humiliation they brought upon their sorry selves. it's like the ultimate cop-out phrases out there available. and it works everytime cause no one cared to re-examine these two illogical expressions. not only that, they say i'm trying to be a bad sport in arguments when i point it out. let me give you an example:-
A: hey Manchester is losing 10-0 to Barcelona, man.. they suck.
B: that's only your opinion...
A: i don't know but 10-0 looks kind of obvious that they do, doesn't it?
B: let's just agree to disagree, okay? you're being a bad sport :(
BB
BB, another acronym born out of the gaming world, IS. THE. MOTHER. OF. ALL. EXPRESSIONS THAT I HATE. for those of you who doesn't know, BB stands bye bye. yes, as if it wasn't simple enough, these motherfuckers just have to shorten it further and say BB. thankfully, this abomination of the english language has not crept into daily conversations but i highly doubt it will stay this way. the day i first saw BB in internet chatrooms was the day i lost hope in humanity. you're so damn lazy till you can't even appropriately say goodbye to a friend anymore? where's the fucking sincerity?

2008 and 2009
2008 has been somehow great for me. surely, it became a pinnacle in my life. i'll just summarize what i've done in 2008 in this post. other than that, aspirations for 2009. not goals (read: resolutions) though, at least i won't treat them as goals. you see, the problem with resolutions is that they usually get ignored halfway. remember when you swore to drink less booze and when the time came, you just said, "fuck it lah just one more shot." oh wait, you probably couldn't remember as you went home drunk out of your mind and passed out on the porch.
to be honest, the only thing that needs improvement in my life is my social network. after staying at home for most of my life, this has kind of taken a toll on my lifestyle. limited friends, no stuff to do, finding boring its boring self into my bored skull almost all of the time. but i'm glad to say that i did go out more this year compared to last year. most of these are carried out around july to december, after the beginning of my second year in computing (college).
let's see.. my friends from sarawak came for a "vacation" of some sort. well, it isn't exactly a vacation.. you can't take a break from taking a break, right? after all, i've been taking a break since before the beginning of time. i definitely haven't been seriously and consistently studying for more than 2 days except for public exams. i revised for pmr in a month's time... spm, same period. stpm.... 2 fucking weeks only -_-
ah fuck i digressed. anyway, me and friends went to the national zoo (ya i know it's fucking weird and old fashioned, but i will justify our plan by saying there were hot chicks there). went to genting too, still haven't tried the spaceshot thingy. i don't think i ever will though, too fucking scary la. ate at steven's corner. if you're from selangor and you haven't been there, i declare myself better than you all here. HOW CAN YOU NOT GO TO STEVEN'S CORNER JESUS IT'S SO NICE AND SOMEHOW CHEAP! i coined the term high-classed mamak the first time i got there. but that only applies to the setapak branch.
went to melaka too with two close friends and a bunch of strangers (friends who aren't that close to one of my close friends). nothing much to elaborate here, it wasn't my plan to tell the truth. me and my friends just tagged along as an excuse to just... go somewhere. i found out that they went to melaka just to find a friend who often takes bus/taxi rides to sunway to club with them. pretty stupid right? i've never seen anyone who needs to club sooo badly. furthermore, she stays in hotels.
i often complain about myself sitting in front of the computer a little too much (24/7) but ironically i found the holy temple of PJ shred (Music Master) through the internet. read about the guitar teacher (gapnap) from his personal website which can be found under the "good reads" section. i instantly decided he is the one and e-mailed him. started lessons at the beginning of november. to clarify, it isn't the lessons that i look forward to, it is the honor to meet players younger than me with twice my ability and just talk to them about music. i tend to place this higher than the lessons cause i have a social life that equates to.. almost zero. learning from gapnap as well as the others is great too, they've given me tips and advices that helps solidifying my confidence which has always taken a stand at a low point.
christmas eve was spent at home, playing dota over the internet with friends and complaining about how if the world doesn't suck, we'll all fall off the ground.. or do we fly, hmmm? new year's eve was better, spent the day helping the master carry his rig around (for his show at jaya one) albeit not much as my physical ability isn't that great (i blame my genetic shortcomings). it's still great to just be around and witness him work his magic (i will now proclaim "shredery", which is a combination of shred and sorcery as a term i coined first) throughout his show though. felt a bit left out sometimes but it's fine. these things take time, right? so all in all, it's all good.
that's about it. i guess it has been a good year, especially meeting gapnap and going on a weekly pilgrimage to PJ in a quest to hone my shredding ability. how was your year?
p.s. the new year's eve show was actually the first show of its kind that i've been to, that's why it's included up there.
p.p.s. i know the "how was your year" is kind of meaningless. even i myself won't reply to this kind of stuff. but i'm not indicating anything lah, reaaaally i speak of the truth reaaaaally.
