Being Twenty-two

My birthday has always been right smacked during the period of "exam hell" for every year of my life, save my toddler and kindergarten years. And army too. But that's insignificant, because I can't recall any of my childhood years (save Andrew getting all the attention from people so I get to be alone and hon my imagination), and I never did use my brain during my army days anyway. This year is no different. Two big papers on my birthday, giving me a mighty brain strain and headache by the end of the afternoon.

Seriously, I not one to celebrate my birthday. I dun really like having to stand with a cake (that I'll probably feel guilty eating) in front of me while people sing songs and take photos. I also don't really like presents, but I'll really like to thank all you people who remembered and took out time and money to get them for me! I'm going to tribute this blog to all the nice gifts my friends and family got me.

1. 4GB Thumbdrive
Courtesy of my dad. I never even knew something like that could exist. Wow. I can even play WC3 on another computer without even installing the game on it. It's like bringing a mini hard disk everywhere I go. Uber cool... Dota anyone? Wait, my exam over first.

2. Giant Zinc Haversack
From Andrew and Nicholas. I honestly didn't know I looked so ugly with that green sling bag or my Toshiba laptop bag. But it's really cool. I needed a new "big bag" anyway, just in case I decide to go overseas. Sometimes you dun know you need something until people give it to you. Sometimes.

3. "Tomato Juice" Lava Lamp
Another one of the joint presents from my darling brothers. Thanks to the Sims, we've all agreed that lava lamps are uber sexy items and must-haves when we move out. Red is a nice color, but somehow it looks really weird next to the slow cooker. Also makes the area of the house light up like a Buddhist altar at night when the lights are off. *Remembers Po Po's old house* Shudders.

4. Twistball
Last present from my brothers. I still haven't used it yet because I dunno how to, think it's kinda wasted on me, and I want to get my laptop bag first. Haha... Thus, no evaluation to give at the moment.

5. Christian Shirt
Present from Matthew Yong. I think he thinks I'm fat, because he got me an L-sized shirt. And he also got Simon and Jason L-sized shirts. Haha... Actually, we all fit in M sized shirts. Thanks for the present anyway!

Well, that's all about it. If you gave me something and I didn't list it here, please please please let me know. Oh, and you might be wondering why Gina didn't get me anything. That's cause I told her not to. Haha... And I'm a guy if my blog design gave you the wrong idea. I dun say "dun get me present ah" and secretly hope that you do. Haha... Now that difference between guys and girls is funny.

I don't actually feel different or older. Maybe that's because all these years of studying in JC and army has been really lethargic years. And studying in university is so much more fun. Studying Sociology, learning Japanese, having pretty girls all around me... (Probably the latter has the greatest effect) But it's cool. Now I either go around analyzing people's behavior, talk to myself in Japanese, or... I prefer not to mention the last one. LoLz...

今勉強しますから、ブロ一ギングの書く時間がありません。これから、お休みなさい。(Because I'm studying at the moment, there isn't much time for me to blog anymore. From now onwards, goodnight!)

*I should probably use Japanese more often. If you happen to be reading this, and you are a pretty, hot babe, I will become your sensei for free. Muahaha...
